[RESOLVED] Scalable window component going weird

Hi there,
I am having a window component, couple of radio btns in my fla (they r coming thru actionscript). On the click of a radiobtn its corresponding img gets displayed in the window. Now, i have made the window scalable thru this code:
sizerPop = new Object();
sizerPop.handleEvent = function(img){
if(img.type == "complete"){
myTW.setSize(myTW.content._width, myTW.content._height +25);
}
}
myTW.addEventListener("complete", sizerPop);

where, myTW is:
myTW = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, mx.containers.Window, false, {closeButton: true, title: _root.reqmessage1, _x: 270, _y: 40, color: 16711680,contentPath:radioButtonArray[_loc2].object.bkimage});
myTW.title = "Radio Button Clicked is:"+radioButtonArray[_loc2].object.label;
All this is working fine locally. But, once i upload it the window scales itself to fit the image but the close btn which is by default on the right hand side goes to the left.
But, i'm more baffled by the fact that this problem occurs randomly. Suppose for the first time on the click of a btn the close btn will shift and maybe for the 2nd,3rd or 4th time it won't or maybe will go wrong always or not at all. Why is this?

u can c the uploaded one on:

I visited the link and the close button is always on the right side no matter how often I play the movie.

Hi,
R U sure U checked all screens, bec I cheked on a couple of machines. But, the problem is there. So, I uploaded a new one on:
http://www.cndmotorhomes-monaco-sale...n_comp_int.swf
I really don't know how it is working fine on your mach. We are using broadband. And yet... Could u pls chk on some other mach Or get rid of the swf that got loaded and then once again C it. Pls do this. Bec I am really trying hard and can't fix it. Also, this happens only when we c it on the net.

Ok, the first time I checked it it was on a PC firefox. I now checked your new movie on a Mac, Safari and Firefox and the closing checkbox is on the right side. The only thing I noticed is that the window is small for a second and then gets the right size.

I really don't understand. It is not working fine at our place. What could be the problem? I know it will be hard for u 2 understand since the problem is not occuring on your pc. is there any way?
i wished more people had tried the link and replied so that v could know the problem. Anyways, there is another query.
As u know this window component is dragable. Suppose the user drags it to a position of his choice and then selects another radio btn, the window returns to its original position. How to make the window stay at this last position.
This is how the popup is created:
myTW = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, mx.containers.Window, false, {closeButton: true, title: _root.reqmessage1, _x: 270, _y: 40, _color: 16711680,contentPath:eventObj.target.bkimage});
I have already specified the x, y for the popup.
Pls remember i'm a novice in Ascript. pls help.

Send me your fla and I put it on my server once and you judge and we will see. If the file is too big check my website for contact.

I hope this will do.

what about the 2nd part of the ques? stopping the popup in its last position.

hey there, pls help me guys.

Here is the link. It is not ok. I noticed that the window first opens a bit and then collapse. Also it takes a long time until it opens completely.

Ok so how to correct it? It goes wrong only when uploaded. Ok, even if v forget it for a while pls could u rite a code for me that would make the window stay where the user last dragged it to. I"m sure the window is refreshing on click of the radio btn.

Here is an example attached.
The reason why the window collapses and the button is on the left side is because the image is not loaded. Try preloading the images, if that eliminates the problem, since that is the difference from harddrive to the server.

Thanks so very much. I have all the other stuff at the office. Will try it on Monday, upload it and let u know. In the meanwhile, this window component is refreshing every time a diff. radio btn is clicked, if the user drags it to a diff. convinient place and then clicks on a btn the window goes back to its original position. How to make the window stay at its last position?

It is in the example I showed you. You need to create a variable, which will hold the values for the x and y position, when the window is clicked off.

Thanks a lot :)

Hi,
I chked the fla u gave. the problem is that if i drag the window in a new position and then click the button a new window component is created and that too in the original position. I wanted it to open the img in the "original window" but on the "latest x,y".

Also how will i preload the imgs that r going to be displayed in the window component. The imgs r coming from an xml file. Nothing is on the stage.

Ok, here is a revised version of the script for 2 buttons.

PHP Code:

import mx.utils.Delegate;
myTW = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp (_root, mx.containers.Window, false, {closeButton:true, title:"This is the title", _x:270, _y:40, color:16711680, contentPath:"images/a1.jpg"});
myTW.visible = false;
sizerPop = new Object ();
sizerPop.handleEvent = function (img)
{
    if (img.type == "complete")
    {
        myTW.setSize (myTW.content._width, myTW.content._height + 25);
    }
};
myTW.addEventListener ("complete", sizerPop);
but.onPress = function ()
{
    myTW.visible = true;
    myTW.contentPath = "images/a1.jpg";
};
but2.onPress = function ()
{
    myTW.visible = true;
    myTW.contentPath = "images/BMW_milk_ad.jpg";
};
var closeWindow:Object = new Object ();
closeWindow.click = Delegate.create (this, cw);
function cw (evt)
{
    evt.target.visible = false;
}
myTW.addEventListener ("click", closeWindow);

When the movie loads you create a window but make it invisible. Then you can press any button to load another image and it will be resized. You can place the window wherever you want. The closebutton only makes it invisible. So the window is always present.

Hi,
I got 2 btns named- 'btn', 'btn2'. Wrote this new code on the actions layer. Wow, grt. this is exactly what i wanted. thanks a zillion :)
but, when i uploaded it on:
http://www.cndmotorhomes.com/1Aug/1aug.swf
the same problem appeared. the close btn going to the left. Maybe a preloader is needed. I don't know how to do this. Pls help.

i have searched a lot. But couldn't figure how to put a preloader in the window component. I would like to remind that my window is generated thru actionscript. the content for the popup is coming thru as and xml at the click of a radio/chk. so pls help me keeping that in mind. :)

You need to preload the images before or just at the time the movie is loaded. You can try this.

http://www.flashscript.biz/component...preloader.html

It works also without a button. Just put the component somewhere in a corner, name it, fill out the chart in the property inspector and set alpha to 0. Then you don't even see the preloading.

thanks so much. I'll try it and let u know if i meet any problem :)
