Hi all,
I'm sorry if you consider the discussion's title inappropriate.
I've noticed that there are differences in the published JavaScript/HTML files.
Here is an example:
I have a *.fla file which contains a movie clip with only a guide layer nested inside.
// Flash
In the published JS file this movie clip extends cjs.Container and does not have any nominalbounds
(lib.mc = function() {
this.initialize();
}).prototype = p = new cjs.Container();
p.nominalBounds = null;
// Animate 2019
In the published JS file this movie clip extends cjs.MovieClip and does have nominalbounds
(lib.mc = function(mode, startPosition, loop) {
this.initialize(mode, startPosition, loop, {});
}).prototype = p = new cjs.MovieClip();
p.nominalBounds = new cjs.Rectangle(0,0,0,0);
From what I've read Animate is backward compatible (i.e. should break any previously working applications), but this doesn't seems completely true.
I wanted to check if anyone knows more about this change and also if someone has experienced some problems with it, as I'm facing two problems described below.
With this change I can see two potential bugs:
1. If a certain code is checking for an cjs object has nominal bounds (i.e. if (mc.nominalBounds) do something; else do something else)
2. If the mc is being cloned by the cjs.Container.clone method. cjs.MovieClip does not have a clone method and throws an error.
Thank you in advance!
