anyone know why its running the intro function twice, despite being called once?

ignore da floppa its a placeholder image

I commented out theSub.intro(); and it didnt play it at all

did I mess up and there are 2 substates?

I somehow fixed it

how do i determine the length of a sprite's image?

I think I have a slight idea, but I'm not sure if I'd be correct.

If I were to do:

var iconXWide = icon.width;

, and somehow manage to get the value of iconXWide, would it be set to the icon image's width?

wdym?

height/width props?

like say a sprite had an image called iconPlayer.png and it was 64x32 in size, but I want the game to figure out the width of the image

load the image through that

it will get the native values of the image

thx

i'm trying to copy a string to the clipboard after pressing a button but it only seems to copy the first character. i am using openfl.system.System.setClipboard(). any ideas why this could be happening?

Share some code

should i send the code directly or use screenshots?

i think some people prefer one or the other

Whack it in "```hx" quotes. Wayeasier than screenshot to read

alright

context: encrypting item data button:

hx
var encryptButton:FlxButton = new FlxButton(10, FlxG.height - 50, "Encrypt", function()
        {
            var newItem:ItemType = {
                itemName: itemNameInput.text,
                characterName: playerNameInput.text
            }
            var itemJson:String = Json.stringify(newItem);
            itemJson = EncryptionKey.encryptData(itemJson);
            trace("Code: " + itemJson); // string shows correctly here
            // itemJson = EncryptionKey.decryptData(itemJson); // when decrypted, it copies correctly
            System.setClipboard(itemJson); //encrypted string just sets clipboard to "S"
        });

encrypting json:

hx
public static function encryptData(data:String):String
    {
        // make a new encoded string
        var newString:String = "";

        for (i in 0...data.length)
        {
            for (o in 0...normalAlphabet.length)
            {
                if (data.charAt(i).toString() == normalAlphabet[o])
                {
                    newString += encryptedAlphabet[wrap(o, 1)];
                    break;
                }
            }
        }

        return newString;
    }

wrap function (to loop around if necessary like a caesar cipher):

hx
static function wrap(index:Int, changeBy:Int):Int
    {
        for (i in 0...Std.int(Math.abs(changeBy)))
        {
            if (changeBy > 0)
            {
                index += 1;
            }
            else
            {
                index -= 1;
            }

            if (index > normalAlphabet.length - 1)
            {
                index = 0;
            }
            else if (index < 0)
            {
                index = normalAlphabet.length;
            }
        }

        return index;
    }

I see you tracing itemJson, then theres a commented line that sets itemJson, then the clipboard is set. If its tracing correctly but still saving improperly to the clupboard when the line is commented out, then i would ask in #769686284318146561 because That's weird

What target? What version of lime/openfl

Maybe try it with a simple string. Maybe your copying some weird Unicode chars or something

windows, lime: 2.9.1 7.9.0 [8.0.0], openfl: 3.0.0-beta.3 3.6.1 9.1.0 [9.2.0]

i will give this a go

Also you say just an S is copied to clipboard? What json starts with s?

the encrypted json

Oh*, duh

it replaces each character with another from the array
