[Xerte] Including flashpaper documents in the tabbed navigation

Wed Feb 24 10:00:06 GMT 2010

You always have to check with any swfs produced by anything else what
they assume they will be loading into. Often there is a parent movieclip
of height and width 0,0 when the onLoad event fires: the actual content
loads sometime later.

I took a quick look at the code last night and noticed the use of 

if (fp.getLoadedMovie().getIFlashPaper() != undefined){
  fp.getLoadedMovie().getIFlashPaper().setSize(800,514);
  loadAndResize.exit();
};

where fp is the id of the graphic icon.

which appears to be the only code specific to treating flashPaper
differently from an ordinary graphic or swf.

So I will look at building that in.

I just wondered if there was an issue with flashPaper as it appeared to
work correctly with the original code that loads in graphics and swfs to
the tabbed panels, but I didn't want to rely on the default code if
there were issues that I didn't know about.

Thanks for your help

Check out the flashPaper model. There is some coe in there that handles
the loading of the document and resizes the icon - it's a bit gribbly
because you hve to wait until the flashpaper document has loaded before
you can resize it - which is what the onEnterFrame handler in there
does.

You'd have to add that code to the nestedPages to handle the flashPaper
swfs. 

I can't remember what it's called but Ron Mitchell uses nan alternative
to flashPaper that might load in a more convenient way?

Hello Xerte Team,

The tabbed navigation allows for the inclusion of a graphic as content
of a tab panel.

In place of a graphic file it is also allowable to use a swf.

Is there any reason why that swf should not be a flashpaper document, or
is there anything specific to flash paper that could cause a problem?

Kind regards

Johnathan
