I originally added this post to the invisible widget thread, so sorry for duplicating, but I have not had a response & this problem is holding me up. Anyway:
I have a Print widget that I want to use on about 4 or 5 slides of my project. When I add it to one of the slides it works fine but then if I add it to a slide later in the project, the widget on the original slide appears as a blank box. I have been playing around to see if I could find a solution & created a new project with just 4 slides. all slides are completely blank and I have just added the print widget. the print widget appears fine on slide 1 and slide 4 (first & last) but is blank on slides 2 & 3.
I have a second problem too. I have a number of click boxes and have selected 'show hand cursor over hit area'. It works fine in preview but when I publish, it doesn't seem to work & the cursor stays as an arrow, rather than changing to a hand.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I am using Cap 4 and AS2
Widget Code:
//..........................Template for static widget(AS2)....................
//flash construct to use external interface : This is needed to use flash functionality for communication between two swfs
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
var widgetMode:String = '';
var varHand : Object = null;
//----------------------------
//Captivate App will not recognize a Static Widget unless this function is implemented and returns true
function isStatic():Boolean
{
return true;//denotes that this is indeed a Static Widget
}
//a object needs to be created and values filled in . This is taken by captivate and stored as //xml string. This is the mean to pass values between captivate and widget swf.
function getInspectorParameters():Object
{
var _parameters: Object = new Object();
//set the data in _parameters fields. This is called by captivate to get the values of widget swf
return _parameters;
}
// whenever widget is inserted the widget swf is passed on the parameters stored inside captivate so that it is drawn in updated stage.
function cpSetValue( variable:String , val )
{
if(variable == 'movieHandle' ) {
movieHandle = val;
varHand = movieHandle.getMovieProps().variablesHandle;
//using varHand the variables can be accessed for eg. varHand.rdcmndPause = 1;
}
if (variable == 'widgetMode')
{
widgetMode = val;
}
}
function setInspectorParameters(inParam:Object): Void
{
}
//is called whenever widget needs to be drawn as per the changed
//parameters like OK to widget dialog and stage swf is updated with the current values.
function setParameters(inParam:Object): Void
{
if (inParam.variable != undefined)
{
//redraw the widget as parameters has changed
}
}
//------------------------------------------------
//Register all the functions with ExternalInterface
var wasSuccessful:Boolean = true;
wasSuccessful = wasSuccessful and ExternalInterface.addCallback("isStatic",null,isStatic);
wasSuccessful = wasSuccessful and ExternalInterface.addCallback("getInspectorParameters",null,getInspectorParameters);
wasSuccessful = wasSuccessful and ExternalInterface.addCallback("setInspectorParameters",null,setInspectorParameters);
wasSuccessful = wasSuccessful and ExternalInterface.addCallback("validateParameters",null,validateParameters);
wasSuccessful = wasSuccessful and ExternalInterface.addCallback("getWidgetInfo",null,getWidgetInfo);
wasSuccessful = wasSuccessful and ExternalInterface.addCallback("setParameters",null,setParameters);
wasSuccessful = wasSuccessful and ExternalInterface.addCallback("cpSetValue" , null , cpSetValue );
//take care of optimised drawing inside this function. Check the widgetMode , widgetParams and draw accordingly
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
}
var wm:String = widgetMode;//this variable will be provided by Captivate App or Captivate Movie
if(wm == undefined)
wm = 'Stage';
if (wm =='Stage') //Stage is the when the widget swf is on the slide.
{
Print_btn._visible = true;
}
if (wm == 'Edit')//Edit dialogue of the widget in Captivate
{
Print_btn._visible = true;
}
else
{
Print_btn._visible = true;
Print_btn.onRelease= function() {
var pj = new PrintJob();
var success = pj.start();
if(success)
{
Print_btn._visible = true;
pj.addPage(0, {xMin:0,xMax:600,yMin:0,yMax:450}) ;
pj.send();
}
delete pj;
movie_mc.cpCmndResume = 1;
}
}
