Re: Text field and mousewheel scrolling

john beardsworth · ‎Feb 16, 2009

Seems there are solutions but for every one there seems a disadvantage such as breaking scrolling in Windows or having to set wmode="opaque". In my movie's case, that would break the color management (needs to be transparent), so I think I'm just going to let Mac visitors drag scrollbars. Thanks for your help. John

Same results on Windows FF and FP10. On Mac it was FF and Safari, FP10. Would you expect the OS to make the difference?

john beardsworth · ‎Feb 16, 2009

Thanks for checking. Were you using Windows? I have been working on my Mac laptop (OSX Leopard) and scrolling with the trackpad. But I tested on my Windows desktop (XP) and the page works. Could it be an OS difference?

It's on a web page and the text field only becomes visible when a menu item is clicked. John

john beardsworth · ‎Feb 15, 2009

So something explicit? Such as: stage.focus = txtField; That seems to have no effect. Could it be something to do with the text field being a library item, rather than being a new object added via code?

john beardsworth · ‎Feb 15, 2009

I'm expecting the text field to scroll up or down. Sorry that wasn't clear.

john beardsworth · ‎Feb 14, 2009

I've a dynamic text field, populated from an external file, and with a scrollbar. I'd also like it to respond to mousewheel or trackpad scrolling. I have tried setting mouseWheelEnabled to true, but that doesn't seem to do the job (and seems to require clicking the field anyway). What else should I be looking at? Would I also need so listen for the mousewheel or scrolling event? John

Any. Mostly online, but conceivably on optical disc. Basically I can't depend on server side processing.

I'm building a picture gallery which allows the visitor to select items and email the site owner with a list. While the movie can send the list to the email's body, that's not ideal given the range of email clients, and it would be much better to generate a file attachment which could then be used in other order processing routines. AFAICS Flash won't let me automatically generate and attach the text file - is that right? So I've got to look for other options. As the movie may run in static hosting environments, I can't depend on PHP. What other approaches should I consider? John

I see a version in the plug-in manager dialog, but I don't see any code in my other lua files which makes it do so. As for automatic updates, I know that updating a version of a custom field triggers an update, so I'm going to guess it works the same way here too. John

john beardsworth · ‎Dec 03, 2008

In Info.lua: VERSION = { major=3, minor=0, revision=7, build=1, }, Jon

OK, I see what you're saying - I forgot to paste the sspColourBG line into my function which should have been like this: var sspColourBG; function urlLoader_complete(evt:Event) { sspColourBG="0x"+urlLoader.data.extColourBG; trace("During: " + sspColourBG); //returned correct value } trace("After: " + sspColourBG ); //returns undefined It still gives me the same problem - that I read the loadvars within the function, but they're not available outside. John

john beardsworth · ‎Nov 19, 2008

That gives me "public attribute can only be used in a package"

quote: Originally posted by: Andrei1 I think you are missing the fact that things don't happen in a sequence you write the code. The very core of events model is to allow dealing with things happening asynchronous and at unpredictable times while proceeding with the code. Yes, I suspect you're right. I'm still in the stage of loathing AS3 and wondering why I ever decided to bother! John

john beardsworth · ‎Nov 19, 2008

Thanks, but trace("after " + urlLoader.data.extColourBG); gives me Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. That must be because it's picking up the line var sspColourBG; which doesn't assign a value to the variable. Besser als(?) mein Deutsch. John

john beardsworth · ‎Nov 19, 2008

I am trying to load variables from a text file, and have them available from then onwards in the movie, globally so to speak. While I can read the variable values in a loader function which executes when the text file is loaded, I don't seem to be able to keep those variables available afterwards. How do I that? Isn't AS3 wonderful? :( John

john beardsworth · ‎Oct 11, 2008

I think you have a good point in there, Blane. It's no good Adobe letting us add custom fields if we can't do much with them, whether it's displaying them in Web, Print, or saving the information to the image sidecar or embedded metadata.

john beardsworth · ‎Sep 08, 2008

Smart develop presets, Eric?

john beardsworth · ‎Sep 05, 2008

Look at setRawMetadata.

Which plug-ins and from where? What happens when you try to download them? What error messages?

john beardsworth · ‎Sep 02, 2008

You've got a printer, haven't you? ;) But seriously, it would be great if one could print one via Lulu etc. Are there any restrictions on people getting copies (not for resale). Maybe Adobe should upload it to a self publisher and make it available? John

john beardsworth · ‎Aug 29, 2008

And make it work on PC.

john beardsworth · ‎Aug 26, 2008

Try googling Chet Drarvik who helped you in an earlier post.

john beardsworth · ‎Aug 26, 2008

I thought the embedded browser was IE on PC and Safari on Mac. Maybe you're thinking of Bridge which had an OEM Opera component?

john beardsworth · ‎Aug 22, 2008

Thanks for confirming. :( John

john beardsworth · ‎Aug 21, 2008

Does AS2 have any function or variable which detects the time the Flash movie was compiled, or capture some other information such as the compilation iteration. I'd like to add to my movie a small text box which displays the movie's version information (not the player) rather like how a program's About menu command usually displays its version number. Is this possible? I don't see any functions which seem to capture this information. John

"Without reading painfully through every single post again, am I right in thinking that mention has been made that this problem is only applicable to Macs?" No, and it's very important to understand that it's not a universal problem on either platform - far from it. I did have the problem on my XPPro SP2 machine, never on my Mac, and finally solved it by trying Betty Reed's idea of temporarily switching the preference to 8 bit. John

john beardsworth · ‎Jul 30, 2008

"Has anyone else tried Betty Reed's trick of changing the bit depth in the preferences? I don't know why that would be a factor, but I'm intrigued by her success. " Julie, it worked for me. After temporarily switching to 8 bit, I could then open as 16 bit or as a smart object. Well done Betty! John

I have a JSX script that adds to Bridge CS3 a new menu element. It places it "after Tools" - ie it's a top level menu. The item appears correctly and is enabled when I open Bridge CS3. But it greys out after I go into File Info. This doesn't happen at all if I move the element to "at the end of Tools". Has anyone else seen this issue? John
