[Flashcoders] External Interface Unicode
I'm trying to pass unicode strings into Flash by using flash8.ocx ActiveX control and the ExternalInterface handlers. Thus far I've been observing the XML serialization that comes out of Flash, and I'm trying to mimick that serialization process in the host application (written in Python.) I see that there is an argument element named string, but I don't have much more information than that. Additionally, I have to strip the ?xml version=1.0 etc. etc. ? off of the document I submit to flash8.ocx(otherwise Flash sends back an error), so I'm skeptical about the XML parser that Flash is using. Is there a way I can inform the Flash deserializer about the encoding I'm using, or some other child element of the element that I should be using to indicate the encoding? Trying to pass some live data Unicode characters into Flash for display using ExternalInterface... any insight greatly welcomed.

To get the actualy compile date itself, you'll have to go ask the dudes on

[Flashcoders] setMask flickering
I'm building a component that loads in a bunch of images in sep clips inside a master clip - and the master clip can slide left and right. each sep. clip has a drop shadow filter set on it, and during movement, blur applied. When I use a setMask on the main clip, there is considerable flickering during the animation. When I comment that block out, animation is smooth and nice as can be.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT?: Stage size
In short, no. There is a defined limit to amount of room outside the Stage area in the IDE. This area has been enlarged for Flash 8 - I can't remember the pixel dimension details.

Nope, this is part of the security sandbox since Flash 5. You will need
either:
- the swf to reside on anniegroove.blogspot.com
- a shim.swf to reside on the above domain that merely says
System.allowDomain(*);
- a crossdomain.xml file to reside on the above domain that allows your
site
- a proxy
The most common solution is a proxy since it only requires very little
code,
and can reside on your site. Basically, PHP/ASP/ColdFusion, whatever,
loads
the XML file from the other domain, and passes it to Flash. Here's how I
not only grab an XML file, but uncompress it for Flash:
?php
$file = gzfile($HTTP_POST_VARS[filename]);
echo theXML= . implode(, $file);
?
My swf just does a LoadVars.sendandLoad to that PHP file, with a filename
variable, and it returns the XML as a string, which I then just toss to an
XML object.

Yes, getting the coder to send you strings that are properly formatted to start with is going to fix your problem. But you could consider getting him to replace the \ character with \\ instead of / - because that should cure your problem. \ is often interpreted as an escape character by many languages. So if it's in front of almost anything in a string, it'll 'mangle' the next character or few characters. For example, \n is replaced by the newline character. \t is replaced by the TAB character. And so on. If you actually want to include a backslash in the string, you use \\. So in many languages, to specify a Windows pathname you'd use double-slashes throughout. e.g. C:\\Program Files\\MyFolder\\MyApp.exe Hope that makes sense, Ian On 11/16/05, eric dolecki [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yup - going to get this fixed up before Flash sees it. \u screws things too... so getting proper / should work I hope. e.dolecki ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] onload(Success:Boolean) - what's it mean?
Just a quick observation: your onLoad should appear in code above the actual
sendAndLoad function.

I'm fetching data via a PHP script, if I leave the test for success out,
the data is there, and can be processed.
If I test for success, the processing code never executes.
What can I be doing wrong? Here's a code fragment, all the appropriate
values for varSender have been assigned. (You will see that the test for
success is commented out.)
varSender.first_name = first_txt.text;
varSender.last_name = last_txt.text;
varSender.password = pass_txt.text;
varSender.action = 'login';
varSender.sendAndLoad(http://+ host + user_logon.php, varReceiver,
GET);
varReceiver.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
//if (success ) {
if(!this.error this.CkVal != ){
subs_so.data.ckVal = this.CkVal;
}
if(!this.error this.ValidLogin == true) {
_root.ValidLogin = this.ValidLogin;
_root.lOKtoPrint = this.lOKtoPrint;
... and so on ...
If I move the varSender so that it follows varReceiver, as in all of the
examples in the help, the varReceiver code does not seem to trigger, at
least when I check it in the debugger.
Does anyone have any suggestions? By the way, a similar script in Flash MX
works flawlessly.

Re: [Flashcoders] Debugger positioning onLoad / sendAndLoad
There is no such thing as a klutz :) We are all beautiful people. edolecki On 12/15/05, Miles Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Eric Dolecki is probably wondering why there's such a klutz on the list. Don't blame him, I was positioning my sendAndLoad() ahead of the onLoad(), for this reason. If organized this way: varReceiver.onLoad( success:boolean) and code ... varSender.sendAndLoad( url, varReceiver, GET) When I was debugging, the debugger did not go back and trace the code in varReceiver.onLoad as one steps through it single stepped. Ergo, the onLoad() code was not executing, as I did not see it executing. This a flaw in the Flash debugger? The only other debuggers I've used are for Visual FoxPro and Visual Basic. Similarly, because code never halted in varReceiver, the fields returned to varReceiver could not be examined. It only pointed to its onLoad function.

The problem I foresee with that is that this has the potential of being very long, and thus might not animate smoothly. Does anyone have any general suggestions I should consider as I plan this project? Instead of making a big 'ol movie clip in a library and animating/tweening that, I would instead make a single movie clip which has a text field, and attach that to the stage, populate the stock data, and tween/animate with actionscript, - you would create and destroy instances when they leave and exit the view area, and the data is dynamic for each clip.

[Flashcoders] Distribution Function
I have started to think about coding up something that does this: - A viewport movie clip which is nothing more than a boundary rule - zoom levels (say 0-4) - in that viewport, depending on zoom level, a certain number of mcs can be displayed - zoomed in the most = 1 visible image clip - zoomed out the most = view all image clips (or perhaps a set limit to keep them semi-viewable) Something almost like how iPhoto manages its images in large collections. You can scale them all up and down and it figures out how many it can display at that size. Has anyone done any coding to something similar to this?

Re: [Flashcoders] checking combinations
Well, lets say you have 4 objects that have selected states fired no
events on their own.
So there are many different possible combinations for the combined states of
those 4 objects. Each possible combination triggers an entirely seperate
action. Thats a lot of actions to account for.
So its all about detecting the unique combinations, and acting upon them.
Perhaps there really is no truly elegant way of doing this...

Subject: [Flashcoders] checking combinations
I have 4 variables I need to check the states of routinely... and
combinations thereof.
I am assuming that if I have a counter, and interogate and += them
values, I
can then check the value of the counter to determine the combinations.
psudeo-code:
var counter:Number = 0;
if ( a ){ counter += 2; }
if ( b ){ counter += 3; }
if ( c ){ counter += 6; }
if ( d ){ counter += 12;}
if ( counter == 2 ){
// only a was true
} else if ( counter == 3 ){
// only b was true
} ...
Which is fine, but thats gonna be one honkin' if else statement to
catch all
the combinations.
Is there a better way of doing this that will catch all the possible
combinations in an elegant way?

of course you could do a check first to see if the function is defined

Seems to be an ispiring question/problem!
Eric - if you'd go with the combo - Strings - these are the 16
possible
combinations:
,a,ab,abc,abcd,abd,ac,acd,ad,b,bc,bcd,bd,c,cd,d
(first one is an empty string if a b c d are false)
I'm not overly proud of how I found the combinations, but
sometimes
nothing
beats brute force :-)
arr = ['a','b','c','d'];
numElems = arr.length;
combos = new Array();
c=0;
while(c10){
combo = '';
for(var i=0; inumElems; i++){
if(Math.random() 0.5){
combo += arr[i];
}
}
inArray = false;
for(var i=0, len=combos.length; ilen; i++){
if(combo == combos[i]){
inArray = true;
break
}
}
if(!inArray){
combos.push(combo);
}
c++;

combos.sort();

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] checking combinations
i've got to go out now so cant give the full answer i have in my
head,
but one way of tackling it is to make each state variable's value
a
power of 2
a = 1
b = 2
c = 4
d = 8
then you know that any combination of them has a unique value.
(its
basically a 4 bit number)
then to handle the dispatch depending on the state combination you
can
build a function table.
functionTable = new Array();
// create a handler for the combination a + b
functionTable[a + b] = Delegate.create(this,combinationAB);
and when you check the variables just call the function directly
from
the table :
// a,b,c,d are just passed as boolean flags here
function handleUpdate(a:boolean,b:boolean,c:boolean,d:boolean)
{
// taking advantage of a true being 1 in flash
// and ideally you would setup these numbers
// as static class variables
var state = a + (b * 2) + (c * 4) + (d * 8);
// call the defined function
functionTable[state]();
}
of course you could do a check first to see if the function is
defined
and do something like log a warning or whatever is appropriate for
your
situation.
hope that makes sense.

Nice!
And I was determined not to post again, but at a certain stage my mental
block irresistibly kicked in again:
why ingeniously bit-wise encode the combinations just to later decode
them
for better readabilty?
Why not drop this altogether as we won't do any encoding:
static var STATE_A:Number = 1; // 1 0
Define the handlers like
handlers = {};// or type it/ make it a class
handlers[STATE_A] = Delegate.create(this,handleAOnly);
// etc.
And finally:
public function handleUpdate(a:Object,b:Object,c:Object,d:Object)
{
state = 'STATE_';
if(a.selected){ state += 'A'};
if(b.selected){ state += 'B'};
// etc.
handlers[state]();
}
What's the benefit of encoding/decoding numbers? Please enlighten me!
Cheers!

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating Components Basic - RadioButton
Make a manager class that basically allows objects to register with it, and then have it do what you want it to do. It can dispatch events and also enable/disable members of the group. - edolecki On 1/26/06, Helmut Granda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [ - Moved from Flashnewbie - ] I am creating a basic component, its just an MC that behaves like a button with its RollOver, RollOut behavior. There is one catch, when the user selects this button the button itself becomes disabled, but when the user selects any other button ( a copy of this component) the button that was selected gets enabled again. I have tried to get the button re-activated by getting its _name and _target but no go. Basically I am trying to achieve a similar behavior that the RadioButton component has, for example when the user selects any button from a group the other buttons from the same group become de-selected.

Re: [Flashcoders] MPEG-4 in FMS
I am fairly ignorant on mpeg4 and the flash player - but i would think mpeg4 requires a fairly beefy machine for playback... and that Flash tries to lower its lowest common denominator as much as possible.

Or perhaps I am way off on this... -edolecki On 2/15/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As far as I'm aware, not only is there no way at present of serving out MPEG-4 format video feeds via FMS but the Flash player itself obviously won't entertain it. Interestingly, the Flash-Lite player will it seems as I understand it supports MP4 (MPEG4 basically). From my ongoing contact with the web/iptv video serving industry I have to say that it seems Macromedia, sorry, Adobe, are one of the few not going the standard MPEG-4 route. I'd really like to hear peoples thoughts on this (especially Macr...Adobe's) as I recently came across a set top box ip/tv company who wanted to make their entire front end in Flash (video and program interface) but decided against it because of the industry trend to use MPEG-4. It would seem that this hasn't stopped the likes of Moxi and other less well knowns. Your thought, suggestions and experience would be great to hear on this.
