Flash Projects/ Experiments

I’m working on a fully customizable window widget in flash that’s nearly done. All that’s left is scrollbars, which shouldn’t be too hard—I hope. The tricky thing was getting the window contents to stay static while only revealing part of them. I didn’t realize that symbols on mask layers aren’t considered objects by flash, so they’re not accessible via ActionScript. Just some rethinking on how to handle it, and now it works. I hope to write a little tutorial on it and get it posted relatively soon.

Another thing that I hope to do is figure out how to make a generic xml parser for a blog in flash. I’ve written a parser that will create a string holding all the nodes, but I have to figure out a good way to access all the elements. Then the real trick is to figure out how the hell to have inline links. That’s going to be a challenge since you can’t have only part of a text field linked in flash.

Anyway, I should be adding a flash experiments section to the site pretty soon; it’ll be open-source, of course.

JulianG:

hey did you finally find a way to have inline links in a text field?

I mean not “getURL” links but to perform ActionScript when clickin on a certain word of a textfield.

Thanks!

Nope, no luck on that one. But it’s not like I’ve had much time to work on somthing like that. Look how long it’s been since I’ve updated this thing…
