Comment on AS3 Dynamic Speech Bubble Snippet by Ben

Actually I figured it out. If anyone wants to know who may have missed what seems obvious to others...
You can remove the g:Graphics var. Instead add your object, in my case, Sprite, to the stage. Then in the code for implementation above, substitute 'g' with your sprite instance, ie. mySprite.graphics.clear(), etc.
Then in the SpeechBubble function call, replace 'this' with instance name of your Sprite. It'll render the fill and bubble effects on your Sprite, which can have events and stuff done with it.

This is just what I needed. Now if I could just get it to go where I want it.
Would you have a moment to fill me in on how to target a sprite with the graphics. I have no problems getting the graphic to draw on the main timeline, but nothing I've tried will let me place the speech bubble inside a sprite or movieclip.

Thanks in advance.

I also have to admit, that this is a very useful tool for daily work. Especially due to the great support! I really like the devs there.

@Daniel
What a pity, your link is broken.

Here is a slight modification concerning AS2 code, otherwise gives a compilation error:

/**
* Encodes a html string using html entities.
* @param str: the html sting to be encoded
* @return a string html entities encoded
*/
function htmlEntitiesEncode(str:String):String
{
return (new XMLNode( 3, str )).toString();
}
/**
* Decodes a html string using html entities.
* @param str: the html sting to be decoded
* @return a string html entities decoded
*/
function htmlEntitiesDecode(str:String):String
{
return (new XML(str)).firstChild.nodeValue;
}

Hi Ash,

was just wondering what the chances of you advising me on how to implicate a maxLength variable for the pointer on this bubble?

A minLength would also be great.

Cheers,

Hi,

I am trying to make the following in Adobe Flash:
I have a picture of a mountain, and I want storm clouds to come from the right side in fast motion. Then a lightining strikes and a name pops out.

Can you please help? How do I do this?

Ok I guess I'm trying to revive this post. Has the function that causes the point to follow the mouse been removed. That is the coolest part? Can you post the function for that? I simply get the bubble and static point.
