• dropTarget pronounced of all objects on the stage

  Hey all,.

  Not sure what the best way to do it.  I have a class we will call DropActivity, here is the code

  package com.activitycontrol

  {

  import com.activitycontrol.DropCheck;

  public class DropActivity

       {

  / / Constants:

  / / Public properties:

  / / Private property:

  _selectedClip:object private var;

  / / Initialization:

  public void DropActivity(/*selectedClip:Object*/)

            {

                 

            }

  / / Public methods:

  public public function set selectedClip(selectedClip:Object):void

            {

  _selectedClip = selectedClip;

            }

  public function stopDraggingMe (): void

            {

  var dropCheck:DropCheck = new DropCheck();

  dropCheck.checkAgainst = dropTarget.name; ///***********

  If (dropCheck.canBeDropped is true)

                 {

  _selectedClip.stopDrag ();     

                 }

            }

  / / Protected methods:

       }

  }

  When the stopDraggingMe() method is called by another object (code below), I need to see all the objects on the stage to see the objects on the stage my currently selected movie clip is completed and assign it to the method dropCheck.checkAgainst (which will be checked against a table to see if it indeed can be moved, if so the value canBeDropped to true and therefor (, run it. stopDrag()).  I read using root is not a good practice of coding in AS 3.

  the call to the reproductive stopDraggingme().

  private void setDown(event:MouseEvent):void

            {

  var droppedItem:DropActivity = new DropActivity();

  droppedItem.selectedClip =;

  droppedItem.stopDraggingMe ();

            }

  You cannot use dropTarget, correct?  and you will need to loop through all displayobjects to see who have a positive hitTest to your object has fallen, correct?

• Adding objects to the stage & amp; Properties of the acceessing Stadium - I'm a bit confused...

  Hello
  
  I'm a bit confused about the programming of the display's two-pronged:
  
  A. What are the best way to add objects to the stage?
  B. how to access the properties of the step.
  
  I can make these two when the project is a 'Action Script Project', but I have a problem when it is a "Flex project" (for example a MXML file). See the attached files two questions included in the commentary to see exactly what I mean.
  
  
  A. What are the best way to add objects to the stage?
  =====================================
  
  In a project of action script which extends Sprite I can call him addChild()
  
  In a project MXML I add objects to the scene first, adding them to a UIComponent, then adding that the step.
  
  1 - is the best way to do it?
  
  In this doc: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=05_Display_Programming_02.html he says this quote from

  :
  Each SWF file has an ActionScript class associated with it, called the main class of the SWF file. When Flash Player opens a SWF file in an HTML page, Flash Player calls the constructor function for that class and the instance that is created (which is always a type of display object) is added as a child of the Stage object. The main class of a SWF file always extends the Sprite class

  At the time wherever you go for the beautiful diadram, you could have done the vi

  Your DAQ would like a waveform (table of values and dt ak 1/sampling rate)

  If you set the sampling rate you know the length of the array, create a matrix of zeros and set the values of the two amplitudes...

• How to save a position and dimensions of windows on the desktop?

  How to save a position and dimensions of windows on the desktop?

  In Vista, there are limited means of control Windows and many of those who apply to the general patterns and not to individual windows.

  The following includes about what Vista can offer in this area, and I don't think that this will do exactly what you want (even if it is possible that the first option with references to other related articles can do a little of that, but I don't think that he can do everything or entirely as you wish without 3rd party help) except for the 3rd party program that winsizeme also mentioned below.  That may do the trick:

  Here's how to change the default template for a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets thefolder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

  It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program WinSizeMehttp://www.pcmag.com/article2/0, 2817,2339650,00.asp to resize them and record the sizes and locations (I changed the program that mentioned in the article, because even if it is a Vista article, the 3rd referenced application part it does not indicate speciiquement is compatible with Vista so that it doesn't).  I have never personally used this program myself so I can't say for some it will achieve your goals, but from what I've read on this subject, it should do the trick (although I don't think it will be automatic - you may need to set each window you want to save in this way - but that's about all that's available if you need to decide whether or not this alternative is better or) (no).  I'm not certain if it applies to programs or only records - but since it's free you can test and see if it helps you with your situation (it may be that it is useful in some cases and not the worth or effective in others - it of for you to decide (but considers that there is really no other alternative that those presented here - just Vista is not this type of detailed features except to a lesser extent) as described in section 1 above).

  Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

  Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she claims it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the prior links provided:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)  I include it only because it is an option - but also what he says it is not a very good alternative (but if none of the other works, it may be worth).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Flash CC: access a specific object on the stage

  I'm writing the javaScript code to execute with Flash CC.

  How can I access a specific object on the stage? It has a name (square_sym), but I can not read the code. What should I do?

  TIA

  He needs an instance name.

  If there is not a button or a movieclip, right click on the object > click on convert to symbol > select movieclip > ok > in the properties panel, enter an instance name, for example square_mc.

  then on the timeline that contains the button or movieclip you can use:

  This.square_mc to reference the movieclip.  other chronologies, there are also pointers to reference the movieclip

• Delicate design, positioning and Organisation of objects on Master Slides quiz problems

  Hello

  I just upgraded to 9 Captivate and would switch to suitable designs.  Some problems, however.

  First of all, when I try to modify the positions of certain objects on slides in quick mask mode, the Position of the object on the tab Position have right and left gray.  I, for example, like to move and position of in the MCQ response boxes would design ('Type 1 from here' etc) to the left of the slide to make room for images on the right.  For some reason, I'm not allowed to do any settings on the tab position I try (and I think I tried them all).

  Secondly, the menu item "organize" is grayed out and if I put pictures on the slide, they fall behind the objects already here and cannot be ' brought forward "."  I don't know why the new objects (i.e. images) fall behind the other objects permanently.

  This means that I can't move some existing objects as I would like and I can't put pictures above them either.

  Very clearly, I'm doing something wrong, but the research, as I might, I can't find answers, and I'm starting to think better to return to the inadmissible designs.

  Grateful for any help, anyone can give.

  Richard

  Your question is not quite clear to me, but he can offer you already some explanations.

  Questionnaire slides have very strict rules. All objects incorporated, those are the objects without an individual timeline, are always on top of the stack. You can't have custom objects appears above one of the built-in objects. I found a few exceptions as described in this article:

  Buttons on Question/Score of Captivate 6 slides? -Captivate Blog

  What I said now is not specific to a sensitive project, but to all projects.

  With respect to positioning, see what you mean: you cannot resize the boxes of individual response, nor the overall box on the master slide, but you can on the slides of individual questionnaire. Look at this slide:

  

  I started by looking at the Advanced setting: by default, it is set to align horizontally, be sure to uncheck this option.

  For answers: select the global zone that has all the answers. You can see I've changed its size and position.

  I hope this can help?

• Y at - it a simple method to disable and flatten graphical objects in the .pdf file?

  I often send .pdf files to my clients. I do not protect the files because it seems that I do not trust my clients

  I do generally two types of activity:

  (1) change a Word file where to paste my graphic signature, then export it in. PDF. Unfortunately, my graphicla signature object is always there, and anyone with Acrobat can enter.

  (2) modify the existing Acrobat files where I hide parts of the page with white spots. I print the files in. PDF, but the patches/items are still there and anyone can remove.

  I can protect the file, but there not a method to flatten objects and make them NOT SELECTABLE at all? I don't care if surrounding text does not become achievable OCR.

  I tried with optimization and deleting objects, but no way to success.

  I'm sure there's a solution, but I was not able to find it.

  Thank you

  Paolo of Italy

  You do not trust of your customers. You fear that they can somehow extract the content and use it in a way that is detrimental to you. If something is in PDF format, it can be extracted, even if you apply security. Addition of security will make impossible to extract or modify the content with Acrobat or any other Adobe software.

  On the contrary if obscuring the content with the white objects, use the writing tool to remove content completely. You can configure the properties of redaction to set fill in white color.

• Please help: cannot change the order of objects on the stage by dragging in the timeline

  Hi all, I am using Captivate 5.5 and try to change the order of objects on my stage.

  I searched on the internet and read the FAQ here. I cleaned my cache of projects. My slide number amounts to 61, so not very big.

  I wonder if it is because I have several interactive objects, on the other?

  For all the blocks on this stage, with the exception of the one on the left of the first line, I have a picture of grayout, a slidelet, a click box and a real picture, all stacked together. I need to order them correctly so that they play in the right way. I have the right order for the second block on the first line, but can not change the order for the rest of the objects by dragging in the timeline - it just won't let me hang out.

  Here is the screenshot of my scene and a part of the timeline. Thanks for the tips!

  

  It turns out that I made a stupid mistake by dragging the names of objects instead of the real thing... Sorry guys.

• Import of objects on the stage

  I don't really know how to put this, so I hope someone understands...
  
  Basically, is it possible to export an object of 3DS Max and then import it into Director on the stage? Say, I create an object for a user and export it, the end user would then be able to place the object exported to a folder on his computer, "press a key" (with a magic code involved) and have this object to import on the scene at a specific location?
  
  
  I'm not looking for a walkthrough (at the minute!), I just wanted to know if it was possible. If this isn't the case, someone has an idea of how it would be possible, or not at all?
  
  Thanks for any help!

  Yes, it is possible.

  You could import their W3D as a cast member then cloneModelFromCastmember, or use loadFile on an existing W3D member. In both cases, you need an existing castMember W3D displayed on the stage as a sprite.

• How to hide objects outside the window of the scene?

  Using Flash Mx 2004. I created a few objects that are outside of my scene and slip into the stadium. The only problem is that they are visible when I publish the flash movie. In other words, I don't want to see them until they are in the stage space. Is there a way to make my objects disappear or be seen only in the stage area and not outside of it?
  
  Thank you

  Walter,

  Forget it, I thought about it. Works like a charm. Thanks again!

• Canvas, navigate through the timeline of an object on the stage without mouse action

  For some reason, canvas, this will not work:

  this.myObject.gotoAndStop(1);
  
  

  Whereas, when the mouse is clicked, will be:

  this.test.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_1.bind(this));
  function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_1()
  {
    this.myObject.gotoAndStop(1);
  }
  
  

  I'm new to the Web, what I'm missing here, please?

  So basically if I want to, on the first frame of the main timeline to control outside the navigation of an instance on the stage...

  UH... No. We've already established that you can't control the outside a clip over the first picture, it is on the scene, no matter how much you want. What you can do, is have each clip is hidden during its first image (either by this.gotoAndStop (1), where the frame 1 is empty, this.visible = false), then tap any image after that you can start issuing external goto.

  Or if you really, REALLY can't have this delay of an image so that all was in place, you could go with what Colin has produced and communicate with each clip via external variables. They would even be global. Declare this.clip1Frame = 5; then in the clip have this.gotoAndStop (this.parent.clip1Frame);

  Well, I just did some experiments, and it seems that the real problem here is that the instance of timeline on subitems get immediately initialized. The container itself, clip, however, which means that you can set variables on this subject. Doing so this.myclip.goFrame = 1; in the parent, then this.gotoAndStop (this.goFrame); in the subitem, works.

• How do I copy and paste an object in the application?

  If I draw an object, it is possible to copy and paste in the application? Or I have to put it on the desk and working there?

  Thank you!

  Hi Matty

  It is only possible to 'paste' an object for the draw in the Photo layer (in other words, it cannot be changed). What you trying to do? Paste an object that you can continue to edit?

• To access the display object on the stage of another class

  I Googled that nothing helps, I only found how to manipulate the scene itself and not a display on that object and I'm noob enough to not be able to figure it out from there. :/

  I have a clip on the main timeline with the instance name displayName. I created a button that should change this framework displayName will to (in order to... makes you guess? display the name of the button.) Awesome. )

  So, I'm trying to write the code in a reusable manner and have everything related to a class called GeoPuzzle buttons. Inside the GeoPuzzle I instantiate a touch event and run code. However, the function should be able to change displayName in the main part of the timeline and, of course, the compiler says displayName does not exist because I'm in a class and I don't mean the scene.

  Here's the code simplified in the class:

  package com.freerangeeggheads.puzzleography {}
  import flash.display.MovieClip;
  import flash.events.TouchEvent;
  
  SerializableAttribute public class extends MovieClip {} GeoPuzzle
  declaring variables
  
  public void setInitial (abbrev:String, fullName:String, isLocked:Boolean): void {}
  Set the parameters
  this.addEventListener (TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, geoTouchBeginHandler);
  }
  
  public void GeoPuzzle (): void {}
  }
  
  public void geoTouchBeginHandler (e:TouchEvent): void {}
  e.target.addEventListener (TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, geoTouchEndHandler);
  other methods
  nameDisplay.gotoAndStop (e.target.abbrev);
  }
  
  public void geoTouchEndHandler (e:TouchEvent): void {}
  other methods
  nameDisplay.gotoAndStop ("USA");
  }
  }
  }
  

  The lines in bold are my problem. Now this code does not actually as it is the case if you find an error in it, Yes, I have no idea what the problem is, but he DID run forward and these lines always gave me wrong so I'll try to help out on multiple fronts.

  How can I say displayName to change its current image within the display object class?

  Thank you!

  any display list object can refer to any display list object, but this is not necessarily good OOP.

  in any case, for your class reference displayName:

  . DisplayName MovieClip (this.parent)
