Hi Chaps

I'm making use of flexes resource manager to load .properties files to create a multi language site.

At the moment all the resource files for respective languages sit "offline" in...

Just to confirm, have you tried your code in different browsers and made sure you are using the latest version of swfaddress?

Aaah yes, "favour composition over inheritance" rings a bell now...
Thanks again for your insight, and taking the time out to give good advice.

Kind regards

Hi Sleeves, thanks for your insight. Yes correct that was exactly the problem. My array was not available at run time, as it was only populated within my application init function.

I created a...

Looks like it's my modelsArray array that coming through as null, and not the function, as I originally thought. Getting closer.

Hi Guys,

I'm doing something incorrectly and I need some best practice this one.
In my flex app Im using a function to return me my objects for images in my mxml. I thought it would be the best...

Mate!

You are a legend...

I was stuck on this for a while (the whole day pretty much), really looked into your advice and eventually figured out what a bindable tag in the mxml was.

Working...

Got it to populate the text on innititialize from resourceManager.
So I'm guessing something like this should do the binding?

Sure it makes sense. If I can get my swc to realise when flex has called resourceManager.localeChain then Im half way there. After that I'll work the binding. Thank you.

Hi Guys,

Ive got a Flex 3 question, and I need confirmation. Although Ive got a feeling the answer is probably not what Im expecting.

Maybe im missing something obvious. So if you guys could...

Yes, UI(flash) and data layer(server) are seperate. So it should be secure.

best practise here would be to create a paralell array that runs along side your button array.

so...

var buttonlinks:Array = new Array("m1.swf","m2.swf","m3.swf")

and run whatever function...

im not too sure how your frames are layed out(proximity wise) but if they are layed out one by one. IE previous frame from 6 would be 5.

Then...

on(release)
{
if((_currentframe-1) != 5)
...

More of a principle when working with the timeline.

Glad to help. Great panoramics.

One real easy way to do it would be to store your buttons in an array.

so...

var buttonHolder:Array = new Array(b1,b2,b3);

then when each button is clicked you call a function that will tell...

Looks like if you are splitting your frames on the buttons layer, you will have to also split your onRelease codes to seperate frames.

If you do that then it works.

heres an mx version better for you.

When working in flash...these are the kind of small annoying bugs that will drive you mad. The best thing to do is always to take it back to basics and focus exactly on what you are trying to do.
...

Is all your code in the actions frames?

Kind of...but more like
_root.movieclipA.hitTest(_root.movieclipB)

Yes...so

function loadExternalData()
{
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
aColors = new Array();

xml.onLoad = function(success)
{

did you try hitTest(target:Object):Boolean yet?

Try putting the text layers below the mc layers and let me know if that works.

You'll have to restructure your app to work only once all the data has loaded.
Split your functions up even further. You just have to get all your logic working in the right order.

easy example...

So, youve got three buttons...when one is selected the other two become deselected/disabled/unfocused?
