Comment on FF3 breaks SWFAddress (sometimes) on OS X by Marcel-André Casasola Merkle

Sorry, a little error in my previous post: you must replace

this.setValue=function

with the following term.

Best regards

Inspired by Luis’ post I modified SWFAdress rather then putting the delay in Flash. Works fine for me and is easier to handle.

I changed
———-
this.setValue
———-
to
———-
this.setValue=function(_7e){if(_21.isFirefox()){setTimeout(”SWFAddress.setValueWithDelay(’”+_7e+”‘);”,500);}else{SWFAddress.setValueWithDelay(_7e)}};this.setValueWithDelay=function
———-
including a delay if Firefox is the browser.

It works for my project but it would be nice to hear if it also solves the problem for others.

Overriding measure() and setting measuredWidth/measuredHeight should work too ?

Hi Josh. There’s actually a feature in the Flash Component Kit for what you’re trying to do. The details are fuzzy in my mind, but I believe if your designer puts a movieclip in the timeline with an instance name of ‘boundingBox’, the UIMovieClip will use the bounds of that movieclip as its reported size rather than the true size of the content. That way, the adjustments to the bounding box are under your designers control, and can adjust as the content moves from frame to frame if necessary.

Looks like a worthy hack to me! Clipping the content wouldn’t have the same effect as you really still want to see it.

Some of the random battles with Flexes layout routines have taken years off my life, never mind the flesh…

Comment on egalité vs liberté? by Joshua Mostafa

Joshua Mostafa — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 03:14:46 +0000

I agree with your statements about drug policy. A clear case of the government intervening to protect citizens from themselves; an infringement of civil liberties.

Freedom, however, is not the only good. Different people’s freedoms must be balanced each other, and freedom itself needs to be balanced against other goods. The social contract may be flawed, but there needs to be something, or people suffer. Suffering is a bad, and a certain amount of curtailment of negative freedom is not only necessary but desirable. Instances: smoking in bars vs. workers dying from passive smoking; freedom from taxation vs. decent social programmes, health services, etc.

Americans are in no position to lecture others on freedom. Beyond the drug policy McPhatty mentions, look at government surveillance, high rates of incarceration, and its constant meddling in the other affairs of other nations.

That sounds good - but how do I make my Flash-authored component act as a FlexCustomClass instance?
