Share Libraries And Components (AS2)
Hi,
I have made a series of basic components; scroll bar, listbox, combo box... and am trying to manage skinning. What I would like to do is create a shared_library.swf which will house all of the elements that are used in the components (buttons, draggers...) and then access those shared mc's in the when the component is used.
I have no problem doing this outside the component realm but as soon as I convert to a component it stops importing the objects.
Any thoughts?
Much much thanks,
John

Dynamic Libraries(shared Libraries)
Hi,
I'm a total AS3 noob, so bare with my learning curve please.
I would be interested to load multiple swf files in the main movie and use the libraries from each swf file.
Can I do that with AS3. I know it's impossible to do that in AS2, where you can have only one shared library, but how about AS3 and FP9?
I've found some threads + posts on the internet, but they are not really helping as I need to understand the foundation and how to and what it means, so I'm hoping for a really helpful soul out there to enlighten me...
Pages I read:
http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/lo...ata.php?page=1
http://www.ultrashock.com/forums/act...swf-92007.html

Thanks in advance,

Something I Would Like To Share
Hey guys,
I have here a pretty simple little piece of code, but one that comes in real handy. Ever publish a movie with a lot of button events, only to realize that someone can easily cycle through those using the "tab" button? The ensuing yellow box looks pretty ugly and unweildy, huh?
Here's a simple way to bypass that:
Code:
for(var i in _root){
_root[i].tabEnabled = false;
}
This will get rid of that for you.
Cheers!

Let Me Share My Stupidity.....please Help.
I have this site and its in flash (duh). I have noticed that on a pc set at 800x600 (like mine), the site looks the way it's suppose to. On a pc set at say 1024x768 it looks funky, its smaller and to the left. Now for the question......(drumroll please) I want to know if there is some kind of default or setting I can put in that will make the movie look the same no matter what the users settings? Do I make any sense?
Please help. Thanks in advance....

Share Variables.
Hi. I'm trying to get 2 banners to work in real time with eachother. (There's a kitty hopping on top and I want it to fall down).
I've tried it with SharedObject but I found out it doesn't actually "share", it just saves the variables only for the specific swf files
Can anyone help me how to do this?
This is my current code, which doesn't work:
Kittybanner1:
code: _root.sync = 1
_root.pos = SharedObject.getLocal("kittybanner")
_root.pos.data.sync = _root.sync
Kittybanner2:
code: function kittysync() {
_root.pos = SharedObject.getLocal("kittybanner")
_root.sync = _root.pos.data.sync
if (_root.sync == 1) {
gotoAndStop(2)
}
}
Kittybanner2 has an enterFrame code. Frame 2 sets _root.sync = 2. But the dynamic text shows undefined, so it doesn't see the _root.pos.data.sync that Kittybanner1 did define
Thanks in advance,
-Shin

How To Share Flv Video?
Just made a website with a movie trailer in it, FLV. Used a standard video component but the person I'm doing the site for wants their to be a button to allow other people to share and links to embed the video.
Is there a component that has this built in (for Flash 8) or is there another easy way to provide this info? Or what would be the code to embed just an FLV?
thanks

Just Want To Share Some Experience
I had some problem with AMFPHP, actually all of my works, when tested on the remote servers, seem not to work on everything exept IE. And finally my last site worked only on my computer.
While checking my server logs I've found that when users tried to enter my site, their browsers hitted the strange 'mysite/crossdomain.xml' file. I've asked my help panel about 'crossdomain' and in five seconds the mysite/crossdomain.xml had been created with the following inside:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*.mysite" />
</cross-domain-policy>
Doing this helped me. I never met the same as mine problems here, but maybe it could help someone.

[as] Best Way To Share Code
What is the proper way to share code between movieclips? I have the same enterFrame code that I am going to use for several movieclips. In ASP I would use #include, which I see is also available in Flash. Is that considered the best way to do it?
thanks!

Anyone Willing To Share Their .fla Files?

Share Variables Between Swf's?
I have this to load my swf from my nav on _level100:
Code:
_level0.mcl.loadClip ("sub.swf", 50);
The sub.swf loaded into _level50 need two variables that is already declared in my nav system to load the proper xml file and they are;
1) _root.num
2) itemnum
Is there a way for me to send these two fellows to my swf on _level50?
Ok, I solved the _root.num variable bu setting it to _global, but where is really itemnum defined so I can do the same?
Code:
// FUNCTIONS
_global.$tweenManager.broadcastEvents = true;

Can't Share With My Shared Object
Hi I am trying to set up an offline game and am having trouble with the information for the sharedObject scoreboard.
At present the scoreboard only shows two lots of data (name & score) I want it to show more (name, score, email, company, position & tel). In the attached .fla I have added the extra input fields but I can't make them display in the scoreboard.
I have renamed the variables for input text and thought that I had changed the AS and the fields in the scoreboard correctly but it would seem that I haven't!
This is the code for the high score object:
highScoreList = function (dir, tot, insertion) { this.order = dir;this.totalScores = tot;this.insertionType = insertion;};
highScoreList.prototype.loadScores = function(sharedOb) {
this.infoOb = SharedObject.getLocal(sharedOb);
this.info = [];
if (this.infoOb.data.scores != undefined) {
this.info = this.infoOb.data.scores;
}
};
highScoreList.prototype.saveScores = function(sharedOb) {
this.infoOb.data.scores = this.info;
this.infoOb.flush();
};
highScoreList.prototype.deleteList = function(sharedOb) {
this.info = null;
this.infoOb.data.scores = this.info;
this.infoOb.flush();
};
highScoreList.prototype.addScore = function(playerName, playerScore, extraData) {
if (this.insertionType == 1) {
// allow repeated names
this.info.push({namelayerName, score:Number(playerScore), extra:extraData});
} else if (this.insertionType == 2) {
// a name can only appear 1 time, better score is taken
this.nameFound = false;
var i = -1;
while (++i<this.info.length) {
if (this.info[i].name.toUpperCase() == playerName.toUpperCase()) {
this.nameFound = true;
if ((this.order == "desc" && Number(playerScore)>Number(this.info[i].score)) || (this.order == "asc" && Number(playerScore)<Number(this.info[i].score))) {
this.info[i].score = Number(playerScore);
break;
}
}
}
if (!this.nameFound) {
this.info.push({namelayerName, score:Number(playerScore), extra:extraData});
}
}
this.sortScore();
this.limit();
};
highScoreList.prototype.limit = function() {
this.info = this.info.slice(0, this.totalScores);
};
highScoreList.prototype.sortScore = function() {
this.tempInfo = [];
var i = -1;
while (++i<this.info.length) {
var j = -1;
while (++j<=this.tempInfo.length) {
if ((this.info[i].score>this.tempInfo[j].score)) {
this.tempInfo.splice(j, 0, {name:this.info[i].name, score:this.info[i].score, extra:this.info[i].extra});
j = this.tempInfo.length+1;
}
}
}
this.info = [];
this.info = this.tempInfo;
if (this.order == "asc") {
this.info.reverse();
}
};
highScoreList.prototype.traceScores = function() {
var j = -1;
while (++j<this.info.length) {
trace("----");
for (i in this.info[j]) {
trace(i+"="+this.info[j][i]);
}
}
};
_global.highScoreList = highScoreList;
And this is the code for the example usage:
stop();
list.bar._visible = false;
function clearList() {
i = -1;
while (++i<=list.totalScores) {
list["bar"+(i+1)].removeMovieClip();
}
}
function updateVisualList() {
clearList();
v = 0;
i = -1;
while (++i<scores.info.length) {
list.totalScores = i;
++v;
name = "bar"+v;
list.bar.duplicateMovieClip(name, v);
list[name]._y = i*30;
list[name].num = (i+1);
list[name].name = scores.info[i].name;
list[name].score = scores.info[i].score;
}
}
function submit() {
scores.addScore(myName, myScore, myEmail, myCompany, myPosition, myTel);
scores.saveScores("fake_game");
upDateVisualList();
}
scores = new highScoreList("desc", 4, 2);
scores.loadScores("fake_game");
scores.sortScore();
// sort score is not exactly necessary to call since the score is automatically sorted when a name is added.
// but if you load a score list and want to reverse the sorting it will then be useful.
upDateVisualList();
[b]
How can I put it right? Any ideas will be most welcome!

Share Object Limit
hello.
im having trouble with share objects in flash.
the file i am making will only every be played locally not through a browser.
i am saving a very large amount of data (over the 100k default share object limit).
I can't seem to change the maximum. I've tried flush but I can't seem to get it working.
Also it would be great to set the limit without having to bring the shared object box up.
any ideas

Can I Share Fonts With Those Who Don't Have That Font?
My question is about cross-platform development, not cross-platform viewing.
We have a base swf file that loads several external swf files.
We have developers and designers on Mac and on Windows.
Is there a way to embed a font in the base file and share that font with an swf that was published on a machine that doesn't have that font installed?
Shared library requires that the font is installed on all machines that publish the swf's. This isn't possible in our situation.

HELP : How To Share Library Items?
Hello,
I have many movies that have the same buttons. What I did was copy every button to every movie. Does making it difficult for me whenever I change the button because I will have to change every button in every movie. Takes time.....
My question is, How do you make a button then save it so that it can be used by all the other movies. So if there are any changes, I will only have to change the LINK BUTTON and everything else will be changed automatically.

AS That Detects The End Of A Song? Share Your Secret....
I am making a presentation cd using a Flash "exe" file. I'm loading in full MP3's. I'm placing the songs in a seperate movie and loading it into the main movie. Is there a way for action script to read when the song comes to the end and launch an MC with a control panel for the user to select the next song.
I can do this by draging the frame accross the whole layer till it ends but I would like to avoid doing this since there will be around 5 full songs in the same movie..
So in short can AS detect the end of the song? Or do I need to do it another way?

Variables And Share Values In Movie
I have a movie where I load a text file with image names and descriptions. I have loaded the variables into my movie and get the correct values. I now want to share the data based on the users interaction with an associated button. If the user clicks on button 2 I want to take the value from the associated text "image2text" and now insert that into the title of the screen. The title field is named "title". So when I click on button 2 take the value from the text field named image2 and put that in the title field.
When the user clicks on the button I pass a variable to my function telling the function what button and text field is being triggered.
whattext = 2;
How do I write in the code to call the correct text field.
Here is what I have tried but it didn't work.
_root.title.text = _root.getText["Image" + whichPic];
So I want to take the text from the text field named Image? and insert it in the title field.
Thanks

Runtime Share Cashing (a Techie One)
how does flash handle runtime sharing?
I want to know if i will have any loading time benefits if i use runtime sharing to share assets that a number of movies use - these movies may be viewed one after the other.
Are the assets cashed and therefore available immediately when next needed. If not is there any speed gain when viewing over a slow connection.
Also how does flash access the shared library. Can it extract individual assets from one .swf file without downloading the whole file. I.e. will having a big library SWF file actually slow down a movie that shares assets from it. If this is the case is it better to have multiple library SWF files - one for each asset.

Share Your OOP+XML Scrolling Window Ideas
Maybe you won't if you have a very special way of doing scrolling windows that puts you a cut above the rest. For me, it's a drag every single time I've had to make one. (well, it's only 2 time so far) I HATE making scrolling windows from scratch. Scrolling windows I'm talking about here are like tables. They get populated with repeating entries (like, pic of item: name of item: price) with a scroll bar.
Basically, I'm looking for a good way to make scrolling windows that use XML for visual formatting (size, position, scrollbar goes there, make movieclip here, etc) and to generate all the appropriate movie clips. And then, I have another XML that has all the data in it. (path to pic, item name, item price, and so on) Plug them together somehow, and then add all the interactive controls (scroll bar, up and down scroll arrows, clickable items, etc).
Well, I guess it's sort of pointless for me to be blabbering about this since there's so much detail I can't simply write out.. I was just wondering if anyone's got a "this is the perfect way to do it" idea on scrolling tables.
I also need to figure out a way to disentangle my code from the project specific code so I can reuse it somehow.. I can't spend 2 days every time writing the scroller... and spend 1 day teakin'g it! arrrrghhhh!

Something Cool With The Date Class That I Just Want To Share
Hi,
A while back I wanted to be able to find the day of the week from any date. For example, you pass 11/28/2006, and it returns "Monday".
It took a while to do, and I'm sure other people out there would find this useful, so I'm putting it up so people can use it.
cDateExtension.as:
ActionScript Code:
class cDateExtension extends Date
{
private static var m_aDayNames:Array = new Array ("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" );
private static var m_aDaysInMonths:Array = new Array ( 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31);
/** GetDayOfWeekFromDate
* @author Alexander Cook, cook at propellingsolutions.com
* @description takes any date, and gives you the day of the week (ie Monday, Sunday)
* Code adapted from algorithm on [url]http://jonathan.rawle.org/hyperpedia/day_calculation.php[/url]
*
* @param NYear - an XXXX formatted date. For example, 2006
* @param NMonth - a XX formatted month. January = 1, December = 12
* @param NDay - a date (ie, 1-31)
*
* @return the day of the week (Sunday-Saturday)
**/
public static function GetDayOfWeekFromDate ( NYear:Number, NMonth:Number, NDay:Number )
{
var nMonthCode:Number;
switch ( NMonth )
{
case 1: nMonthCode = 0; // January
break;
case 2:
case 3: nMonthCode = 3; // Feb, March
break;
case 4: nMonthCode = 6; // April
break;
case 5: nMonthCode = 1; // May
break;
case 6: nMonthCode = 4; // June
break;
case 7: nMonthCode = 6; // July
break;
case 8: nMonthCode = 2; // August
break;
case 9: nMonthCode = 5; // September
break;
case 10: nMonthCode = 0; // October
break;
case 11: nMonthCode = 3; // November
break;
case 12: nMonthCode = 5; // December
break;
default: return ( "ILLEGAL MONTH" );
}
var nValue:Number = NYear + int ( NYear / 4 );
nValue -= int ( NYear / 100 );
nValue += int ( NYear / 400 );
nValue += NDay;
nValue += nMonthCode;
nValue -= 1;
var nDay:Number = nValue % 7;
return m_aDayNames [ nDay ];
}
}
You can access the method by doing something like the following:
ActionScript Code:
trace ( cDateExtension.GetDayOfWeekFromDate ( 2006, 11, 28 ) );
You should get back Tuesday for that Date.
Anyways, could be useful, and it isn't built into Flash.
A zip file with example and MX '04 file is attached.

How To Share A Drawpad With Red5 Server
Hello,
I've made a sketchpad using this tutorial :
http://lukamaras.com/tutorials/cool-...awing-pad.html
It works perfectly.
I've installed a working red5 server on my own PC.
How can I share this sketchpad, I want users to see and interact between each others ... I know I have to use sharedobjects but I can't find a detailed tutorial about this specific request. How configuring the red5 server ? A main.asc with loading copnonents.asc ? Or WEB-INF etc.. editing ?
Sorry this is noob questions, but I'm not a developper
Thx

Can't Seem To Share An External .as Doc As Document Class.
I have two documents (both placed in a third doc) which I'd like to share the same external .as doc as the document class, but doing so produces a ReferenceError: Error #1056.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
I have a main movie (Main.swf) that contains two Scroll Pane components.
Each scroll pane has a separate source swf -- SkyMenu.swf and MoonMenu.swf respectively. SkyMenu and MoonMenu each contain a number of SimpleButtons. For simplicity we'll say they each have one button. SkyMenu.swf has sky1_bt and MoonMenu has moon1_bt. Those instance names are named on the stage using the property inspector.
I have created a custom class file (BgndMenuClass.as) defining the behavior of the buttons and have defined it as the document class for each of the two files (but NOT Main.swf). The code is included below.
I have checked "Automatically declare stage instances" in each file.
When I export each of the two menu files the class works.
If I have only ONE menu (either SkyMenu OR MoonMenu) in Main.swf it works fine. A soon as I add BOTH menus to Main.swf I get the the Reference Error seen below. Any help is greatly appreciated.
BgndMenuClass.as
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip
import flash.display.SimpleButton
import flash.events.MouseEvent
import flash.text.TextField
import flash.net.LocalConnection
public class BgndMenuClass extends MovieClip
{
public var outgoing_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
public var folderName:String;
public function BgndMenuClass()
{
trace("BgndMenu is working");
}
public function makeButt(butt_bt:SimpleButton,itemName:String)
{
butt_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemSend);
function itemSend(event:MouseEvent):void
{
outgoing_lc.send("menu_connection", "bgndItemsExecute", itemName, folderName);
}
}
public function toggleVis(event:MouseEvent):void
{
outgoing_lc.send("menu_connection", "toggleBackVis", folderName);
}
}
}
SkyMenu.fla code:
Code:
//Folder for these items
folderName = "sky";
//Make the buttons
makeButt(sky1_bt,"sky1");
ReferenceError:
Code:
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property sky1_bt on BgndMenuClass.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at BgndMenuClass/makeButt()
at BgndMenuClass/frame3()

Share Timer To Different Movie Clip
I'm trying to create a game which is time-bound.The user has to finish 5 missions within one hour to win. If the user doesn't finish it within the time limit, a popup appears and time will reset.
The time starts with the first mission. i've used getTimer for this. However, each mission is placed in a different swf file. how do i pass the minutes passed from one swf file to another? Also, I've tried storing it in a .sol file. But i couldn't retrieve it.
Here's the code
Code:
var startTime;
var currentTime;
startTime = getTimer();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
num=1;
currentTime = getTimer();
/* 12 f = 1 s;
/*
/*if(num == 1){
timer = (currentTime-startTime)+ so.data.users[i][66]["ncr"];
num++;
}*/
num++;
else timer = currentTime-startTime;
so.data.users[i][66]["ncr"] = timer;
trace(Math.floor(so.data.users[i][66]["ncr"]/1000));
if (so.data.users[i][66]["ncr"]>200000) {
// do something cause 5 seconds have passed
delete this.onEnterFrame;
loadMovie("0 PDA.swf", popupBox);
this.popupBox._visible = true;
this.popupBox._x = 157.9;
this.popupBox._y = 95.9;
}
}
