Text Problems about as3swf

[claus]

Can you send me an example swf? I can't reproduce this...

[badongers]

Files here http://www.badongers.com/as3swf.zip

testfla is published as air app.
f 8.fla is the swf source being parsed.

Looks ok here... http://bit.ly/dzA4R8
What results are you seeing?

[badongers]

hmm.. that's weird... im getting this http://badongers.com/as3swf.jpg

Is there a way that I can inject as code on the swf? Sort of like MTASC.

[claus]

weird indeed. i suppose you're using the latest sources/swc? What IDE are you using, Flash CS4? could you send me the trace dump of the republished f8.swf?

I remember somebody reporting this kind of problem (or a similar one) a while back already (but can't find the mail conversation anymore).

[claus]

you can inject as1/2 bytecode, and there's http://github.com/claus/as3abc for handling as3 bytecode (which currently is read only), but support for that is generally sparse (nowhere even remotely close to mtasc) and under construction. I've been focusing on shapes so far

[badongers]

Here's the dump http://badongers.com/as3swfdump.txt

Yes, I am using Flash CS4 IDE, the swf being parsed is published Flash 9.

Yes, I am using the latest source. I wouldnt think that would be different from the swc right?

Thanks for all your help btw.

[claus]

can you do me a favor and pull the latest sources and try again? i committed some stuff yesterday that may have fixed some stuff related to your problem (unsure though)

[badongers]

It's working now. Thanks for that.

Basically what I am trying to do now is to change the values on a dynamic text field by modifying tag values on the SWF object you created.

Any chance I can achieve this with static text? I know they are treated as shape when compiled but do you think this is feasible?

[claus]

That sounds feasible (although i didn't fully get what exactly you wanna achieve). Let's continue this discussion elsewhere? My contacts are all here: http://wahlers.com.br/claus/

Closing the issue. Glad the latest commits fixed it!
