Re: [Flashcoders] the tool used to make this presentation
I'd say by hand... Maybe you think it's too boring to be made manually? ;-) Making me download over 20mb (!) to see some speaking heads. Here's another link: Talking-Head Video Is Boring Online http://www.useit.com/alertbox/video.html I'm curious if any of you have patience to listen the whole thing. As for me, I drop after 5 minutes. Isn't this done using Breeze - Adobe's tool for making this kind of thing? Its a pretty clever piece of technology and it must be pretty hard for the Adobe guys to have to stand up in front of camera and talk about this kind of thing. Which is a real shame because I completely agree with Gregory (and Jacob Nielson) that the end result is really frustrating because the speed at which you get the information is much slower than reading - and its difficult to skip ahead to the bits you're interested in. In the last few years the standard of writing and communication on Macromedias site had really improved but every so often I click on a useful looking link which takes me straight to a breeze presentation and I give up straight away. While I was writing this it occured to me that a tool which automatically created a photo-story might solve this problem - you'd still get the visual impact but you'd be able to skim ahead to the bits you want. Do other people find these Breeze presentations useful? - I'd be really interested to know if you do.

[Flashcoders] ConvolutionFilter performance

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic class creation
This should do the job.
1. ClassFactory to create classes specified by strings.
code
class ClassFactory
{
public static function create(className:String):Object
{
// Split the class name into its parts
var parts:Array = className.split(.);
// a variable to build a reference to the class
var classRef:Object = _global;
// Iterate over the parts, digging deeper each time
// into the namespace heirarchy
for(var n=0;n parts.length;n++)
{
classRef = classRef[parts[n]];
}
// Check that the class exists
if(classRef == undefined)
{
throw new ClassCreationException(Class not found : +
className);
}
else
{
return new classRef();
}
}
}
/code
2. The Class Creation Exception, nothing special :)
code
class ClassCreationException extends Error
{
public function ClassCreationException(msg:String)
{
message = msg;
}
}
/code
and some test code to check it works :
code
var className:String = com.test.MyClass;
import com.test.MyClass;
var c:MyClass;
try
{
var c:Object = ClassFactory.create(className);
}
catch(e)
{
trace(e.message);
}
/code
of course, you need the reference to the class you want to create somewhere or
the compiler wont include it when it builds the swf, hence the
var c:MyClass line.
for me thats the worst part of the whole thing, but theres ways you can organise
this, e.g. a simple include that just lists the declarations you will need
#include forceIncludes.as
which just contains a list of the references
im sure there are other solutions to this little problem, if anyone else has any
bright ideas id like to know.
Of course, the other part of this is that the class factory can only return
objects that are typed as 'Object' so you lose quite a bit of type safety like
this, unless of course you are creating objects that all conform to a specific
interface. You might want to modify the class factory to add methods that return
particular types of objects with a return type set to their common interface. It
depends on what your requirements are really on how you architect this part.
hope that all makes sense.
thanks,
Martin

Its a pretty clever piece of technology and it must be pretty hard for the Adobe guys to have to stand up in front of camera and talk about this kind of thing. Which is a real shame because I completely agree with Gregory (and Jacob Nielson) that the end result is really frustrating because the speed at which you get the information is much slower than reading - and its difficult to skip ahead to the bits you're interested in. In the last few years the standard of writing and communication on Macromedias site had really improved but every so often I click on a useful looking link which takes me straight to a breeze presentation and I give up straight away. While I was writing this it occured to me that a tool which automatically created a photo-story might solve this problem - you'd still get the visual impact but you'd be able to skim ahead to the bits you want. Do other people find these Breeze presentations useful? - I'd be really interested to know if you do.

[Flashcoders] avoiding a stack of lists
Here's more of a higher-level problem for you helpful people : Imagine 3 lists, someListA, anotherListB, and lastListC. When I rollover something in someListA, I want the items in anotherListB and lastListC to highlight. And the same for rolling over something in anotherListB or lastListC. So rolling over an item in any list makes N items in the other lists highlight. I've made a single item work with my initial solution, which was to have a list for each item that lists which items in the other lists should highlight. But by the time I've made 25 lists for my 25 (current) items, that seems like a lot of redundant and duplicated data somehow. Anyone got any ideas? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic class creation-thoughts?
first, what you guys have done is dynamically refrencing a *loaded* class not
dynamically creating a class! if the class is not yet loaded it returns null.
and of course dynamically refrencing a class gives you nothing, I was wondering
if it is possible to load a class dynamically?
in Java there's a forName method on Class class that loads a class with given
string and that's what we use with applications with dozens of classes, because
it can take a long time for a big application to load all classes
automatically, frustrating the user. so we can give users of our program the
illusion of a faster start with the this trick: the class containing the main
method does not explicitly refer to other classes. first display a splash
screen. Then manually force the loading of other classes by calling
Class.forName
anybody? any suggestions for loading a class dynamically?

Close. Let's assume you're using mx.events.EventDispatcher. Your event
broadcaster class starts like this:
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class myClass
{
// function declarations to be mixed in by EventDispatcher
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
public var dispatchEvent:Function;
/* constructor */
public function MyClass()
{
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
}
}
The EventDispatcher.initialize() call simply fills in the blank
function declarations, and your object -- no matter what its type was
before -- now acts as an EventDispatcher.
Now let's say you have greenSwitch and purpleSwitch, which are event
dispatchers; and redLight, blueLight, and yellowLight, which don't need
to be. Given basic color theory, you want red and blue to light up if
you click the purple switch.
class Switch
{
...
public function toggle():Void
{
var eventObject:Object = new Object;
eventObject.type = onSwitchChange;
eventObject.target = this; // sends a reference to itself!
dispatchEvent(eventObject);
}
}
class Light
{
...
// note that this function has the same name as the event
public function onSwitchChange(eventObject:Object):Void
{
// animate something, probably by altering a movieclip
}
}
And finally, the code that makes use of these objects:
var purpleSwitch:Switch = new Switch();
var redLight:Light = new Light();
var blueLight:Light = new Light();
purpleSwitch.addEventListener(redLight);
purpleSwitch.addEventListener(blueLight);
purpleSwitch.toggle();
As you see here, purpleSwitch contains an array of all objects listening
to it; then when you create and dispatch an event object, it simply
calls the identically-named method on each listener object. It's nothing
mystical -- just convenient.
And the nice thing about it, for your purposes, is that none of the
switches or lights really even needs to know what color they are... the
logic is contained in their sender/listener relationship.
If you need something more complex, just add properties to the
eventObject, and have the listener object deal with that. Or just read
from eventObject.target, which should be a reference to the broadcasting
object. The classic example is to have a textField or something, which
sends events when it's updated; a listener could get to the text with
eventObject.target.text.

Re: [Flashcoders] avoiding a stack of lists
Well, regardless of whether or not you use listeners, you still need to create the data relationship. I don't think encoding the relationships into 25 listeners is necessarily a good idea, either. An associative array, indexed by ID, could store the IDs of the other list items that are related, all in a single data structure. So for instance: listRelationships[itemID1] = [itemID2, itemID3]; listRelationships[itemID2] = [itemID1]; listRelationships[itemID3] = [itemID2]; This allows you to store arbitrary relationships between each list item. When a list item is moused over, just grab listRelationships [itemID] and you will get a corresponding array of list items to highlight.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic class creation-thoughts?
I looked into Java Virtual Machine Class code, it's not possible to load a
class dynamically in flash. at least you need to have somehow the main package
loaded in flash!
after all it is ActionScript and it still needs lots of improvements in
language syntax

dynamically refrencing a *loaded* class not dynamically creating a class! if

and of course dynamically refrencing a class gives you nothing, I was wondering

in Java there's a forName method on Class class that loads a class with given
string and that's what we use with applications with dozens of classes, because
it can take a long time for a big application to load all classes
automatically, frustrating the user. so we can give users of our program the
illusion of a faster start with the this trick: the class containing the main
method does not explicitly refer to other classes. first display a splash
screen. Then manually force the loading of other classes by calling
Class.forName
anybody? any suggestions for loading a class dynamically?

[Flashcoders] Flash 8 embeds fonts on OSX, even if you don't tell it to !
Hi people, For the record : When one uses MAc OSX Flash 8 Pro, you have different to use a font, by the way, for a reason that a presume, when you use _sans or Arial with Use device fonts, in fact Flash embeds the outlines in the final swf. If someone else could test it on it's computer ?! - Put a textfield with _sans as font - Open File Publish Settings - Check Generate size report - Look at the end of the output if there are _sans like this example : Nom de la police octetsCaractères ----- _sans21 _sans Gras 21 I think that MM embeds the outlines on osx, that way the mac and win version could have the same width. But it definitively give your swf an unecessary weight. Is it a known issue ? Is there a workaround that I don't know ? Thanks to confirm this annoying issue. --- erixtekila http://blog.v-i-a.net/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] Player Sub-Version Differences?
Can anyone point me to a resource that describes the differences between sub-versions of the Flash Player? This information is key to fixing a complex Flash project I inherited. I need to know what changes were made to the Flash Player between versions 7.0.19.0 and 7.0.61.0. In the project I inherited, web-based data exchange between Flash and the server works in 7.0.19.0 but not in 7.0.61.0. I don't have any intermediate versions to test. I've read everything I could find on the Macromedia site pertaining to security changes in Flash 7. I've tried adding cross-domain xml files and modifying security (allow domain) settings in the swf's, but no luck so far (possibly my syntax was wrong, though). I'm hoping that learning the differences between these two subversions will provide a solution.

RE: [Flashcoders] Dynamic class creation-thoughts?
Nice job for creating dynamic linked library in flash, thanks to Farid and
Scott. Of course compiled clips and components do the same, but using dlls
gives us the ability to load classed whenever they are needed and not just
including them all in the first frame!
I was wondering if it is possible to load a class with a given string using
pure ActionScript and I guess it's not. Well that's not an issue in flash and I
was wrong to compare Java and flash in this case because in Java classes are
compiled in separate .java files and it takes time for an application to load
them all at startup, hence manually loading classes (as I described in my other
post) can improve application performance, but since in flash all classes are
embedded in a single compiled .swf file they are available when swf is loaded

anybody? any suggestions for loading a class dynamically?

[Flashcoders] f8 preloader
Hey guys I am trying to paste some preloader code from a f6 project into an f8
project but its acting really weird. The traces I have put in for watching my
percent grow don't even begine to trace until about 46%. I figured it would be
some kind of issue with exporting to first frame stuff but I have none of that
in the project. And the graphic I have on the first frame are like 1/10 of the
total size of the project. Anyone know why this code might not work right in
f8. Can I not run traces right away with code in f8? Weird stuff...
[code on first frame]
preloader_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
totalNum = getBytesTotal();
loadedNum = getBytesLoaded();
trace(loadedNum: +loadedNum);
trace(totalNum: +totalNum);
percent = Math.round((loadedNum/totalNum)*100);
trace(percent:+percent);
if (percent == 100) {
trace(PLAY!!!);
preloader_mc.percent_txt.text = 100;
//preloader_mc._yscale = 100;
//preloader_mc._xscale = 100;
play();
} else if (percent 0) {
preloader_mc.percent_txt.text = percent;
//preloader_mc._yscale = percent;
//preloader_mc._xscale = percent;
}
};
stop();

[Flashcoders] Specify scaling of components
Hi all, I am looking to control how some of my components are scaled. This is mostly so that I can define how each are draw. For instance I want to lock my button component to two different types of scaling. 1) Width only 2) Retain aspect ratio Is there any why this can be done? I know that I am able to override the draw and scale functions from the UIObject class but I want more user feedback than drawing it correctly after they attempt to scale. Rather I want the scaling handles within Flash to get constrained to one of my two above options. Is there any way to do this??

Re: [Flashcoders] except onRelease
hi Corban,
this[charThumb_MC].loadMovie(charThumb);
loadMovie is delayed until all scripts in the frame have finished, so
you assign the onRelease to a movieclip that will be replaced by a
newly loaded one moments later.
use a container to load it into, and assign your onRelease to the container.
btw, createEmptyMovieClip returns a reference to the new clip, very
useful if you don't want to type this[charThumb_MC] over and over
again:
var clip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(charThumb_MC, this.getNextHighestDepth());
clip._x = ...

[Flashcoders] Re: Lines of code in a Flash project
Agreed, lines per hour is not a very valuable metric, but it's a relatively quick and easy metric to calculate. I remember reading somewhere that the average programmer writes about 10 lines of good production code per hour. I'm guessing this included all time for project coordination, architecture, documentation, revisions, builds, debugging, meetings, etc. Anyways, my query was just for personal curiosity and if anything a personal metric to gauge how I'm improving as a programmer over time — this is not some dubious new management method for gauging productivity — at least I hope not! So I guess I was hoping for some hidden feature in Flash's Project panel that would calculate the number of lines of code in a project, or some quick Flash Javascript API code sample that would do the same. I guess the quickest, simplest way is to just open each class and total the last line number. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] fscommand troubles
Hi all,
I'm having trouble with something simple fscommands in an html page.
If I publish my swf with the setting 'Flash with FSCommand' and I include
the following code in the first (and only) frame of my swf:
fscommand(yo);
and the js function that catches the fscommands looks like this:
function testFsCommand_DoFSCommand(command, args) {
alert(command);
}
and my movie id=testFsCommand
I should see an alert that says yo, right?
Nothing happens... Are there any gotchas that I don't know about?
Very weird... If anyone can shed some light on this, that would be great

[Flashcoders] dateField and Remoting problem
I've tried posting this in the Adobe (Macromedia) forums with no luck. I'm hoping that someone here can help. Might be a newbie question, but I'm thinking I'd get better response here. Sorry for the cross-post and sorry if this is beneath the level of this list or OT. I'm trying to send a date from a dateField.selectedDate in Flash to a CFC. I'm using that date as a filter in the query. The query looks like this: cfquery name=get_classes datasource=#myDataSource# SELECT * FROM trainTrack WHERE classDate #Flash.Params[2]# ORDER BY className /cfquery I've tried using a cfm page as a test page and I know that the following format will filter the result appropriately: cfset date1 = CreateDateTime(2006, 02, 10, 4, 20, 20) cfset date2 = CreateDateTime(DatePart(, date1), DatePart(m, date1), DatePart(d, date1), 4, 20, 20) cfquery name=get_classes datasource=#myDataSource# SELECT * FROM trainTrack WHERE classDate = #date2# ORDER BY className /cfquery This works when used in the query, but whenever I try to do this with remoting it doesn't work. When I don't try to filter by date, the correct result of the query is returned so I'm fairly sure that the problem lies in the way that the date is formated when it hits the query. I've tried several ways to format the date, but I haven't had any luck. Oh, and I'm using Access as the DB (which might be some of my touble). I would really appreciate any insight! Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] avoiding a stack of lists
Sorry for the delayed response, it's been a busy day.
It's been a while since I have touched Lingo, so I won't comment
there, but yah it's basically a list of properties. Associative
arrays can be accessed in two ways. First:
listRelationships:Object = new Object();
listRelationships[propertyName] = foo;
trace(listRelationships[propertyName]);
and second:
listRelationships:Object = new Object();
listRelationships.propertyName = foo;
trace(listRelationships.propertyName);
The two syntaxes are equivalent and interchangeable. I used the first
syntax because it easily allows you to access properties by name,
passed through another variable.
var itemID:String = itemID1;
trace(listRelationships[itemID]);
You would create your full data structure, each line representing one
list item and containing an array of IDs linked to the given ID.
Ideally you would pull this data in from an external source, such as
through XML or through LoadVars, and build this data structure
dynamically. Also, this is only one way of doing it. Another way may
be more appropriate for you, given your particular requirements.
var listRelationships:Object = new Object();
listRelationships[itemID1] = [itemID2, itemID3];
listRelationships[itemID2] = [itemID1];
listRelationships[itemID3] = [itemID1, itemID3];
...
listRelationships[itemIDN] = [itemID6, itemID7, itemID8];
When one of the items is selected or moused over, you call a function
that you create, pass in the ID of the item in question, and use that
ID to find the related IDs:
function handleSelect(itemID:String):Void
{
var selectedItemData:Array = listRelationships[itemID];
for (var i:Number = 0; i selectedItemData.length; i++)
{
// Get each row that should also be highlighted
trace(selectedItemData[i]);
}
}
I hope this helps.

Well, regardless of whether or not you use listeners, you still
need to create the data relationship. I don't think encoding the
relationships into 25 listeners is necessarily a good idea,
either. An associative array, indexed by ID, could store the IDs
of the other list items that are related, all in a single data
structure. So for instance:
listRelationships[itemID1] = [itemID2, itemID3];
listRelationships[itemID2] = [itemID1];
listRelationships[itemID3] = [itemID2];
This allows you to store arbitrary relationships between each list
item. When a list item is moused over, just grab listRelationships
[itemID] and you will get a corresponding array of list items to
highlight.

That sounds a bit more like where I'm at. Not that I've used
associative arrays before, but they're basically the same as
property lists in Lingo right?
In your above example, wont I still need a listRelationships
[itemID1] = [whatever] line for each item I'm wanting to
reference? Or have I totally misunderstood what's going on there?

Re: [Flashcoders] Component and Live Preview ~ problems
It's because LivePreview variables are different SWF's, but same depth. Gary wrote the original LivePreview.as file (in includes in Flash MX 2004's install directory), and you can take a look at it to see how it works. I had the same problem with my Flowchart components. Basically, things were getting created correctly in different movieclips, but the actual data was referencing a previous component. I had to hack the LivePreview.as with a few modifications on the 2 main functions that update the component, but I never fully resolved it. My suggestion is to start tweaking that file since it's the one that pretty much runs LivePreviews. ...or, create your own, and do it the MX way where you code the refreshing yourself, export a SWF, and point your component to that vs. using the internal Flash MX 2004 component LivePreview-auto-gen. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 11:21 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Component and Live Preview ~ problems Hello All --- I posted this on FlashNewbie and didn't have much luck getting it resolved.

[Flashcoders] How will asfunction work in AS3/MXML? Jester?
If I have a link like this in a Flex2 TextArea like this: a href='asfunction:doSomething,foo'click here/a Where do I put my doSomething() method? -Tom ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] How will asfunction work in AS3/MXML? Jester?
Docs are down, but here's some psuedo code for you:
import flash.util.trace;
your_txt.addEventListener(TextStuff.LINK, onHyperlinkClicked);
function onHyperlinkClicked( event:Event )
{
trace(You clicked on + event.target); // your_txt
trace(The text is: + event.text); // doSomething
}
I think asfunction is changed to something else; again, wait until the docs
come back up to get confirmation on WHAT it actually changed to, but that's
the basic code. Whatever you store after the newAsfunction: is passed
into the text property of the event.
Only thing is, the text is just for context now, meaning doSomething is no
longer a function that is called, and the comma no longer seperates that as
the argument; it's basically just text that is passed into the event, so you
could remove doSomething, and leave foo. doSomething could be your event
listener function passed to the textField.addEventLisetener for example.

Re: [Flashcoders] Component and Live Preview ~ problems
I wrote a post on working with live preview on my lame ass blog at http://www.judahfrangipane.com/?p=13. Judah JesterXL wrote: It's because LivePreview variables are different SWF's, but same depth. Gary wrote the original LivePreview.as file (in includes in Flash MX 2004's install directory), and you can take a look at it to see how it works. I had the same problem with my Flowchart components. Basically, things were getting created correctly in different movieclips, but the actual data was referencing a previous component. I had to hack the LivePreview.as with a few modifications on the 2 main functions that update the component, but I never fully resolved it. My suggestion is to start tweaking that file since it's the one that pretty much runs LivePreviews. ...or, create your own, and do it the MX way where you code the refreshing yourself, export a SWF, and point your component to that vs. using the internal Flash MX 2004 component LivePreview-auto-gen. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 11:21 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Component and Live Preview ~ problems Hello All --- I posted this on FlashNewbie and didn't have much luck getting it resolved.

Re: [Flashcoders] How will asfunction work in AS3/MXML? Jester?
Thanks, Jesse. I was able to find the right event using the code
hints in Flexbuilder (see below) but I'm stuck until I find out how
asfunction has changed so I can actually trigger the event. I'll hold
my breath until the docs come back...
import flash.events.*
private function init():Void
{
myTextArea.addEventListener( TextEventType.LINK,
linkClickHandler );
}
public function linkClickHandler( event:TextEvent ):Void
{
myTextArea.text = worked;
}

[Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem?
Hi All, I am trying to load a new SWF file on root movie clip using following action script code, but it is not working properly. It is loading its first frame only. But the SWF file (to be loaded) is having more than one pages. loadMovie(C:\\ pages.swf, _root); _root.gotoAndStop(3); Any solution?

Re:[Flashcoders] Author time/live preview of custom component
Seems you don't set your own onUpdate() and setSize() functions. Have a look at file mm_livepreview.as (can be found in ...First Run\Include). It manages all the Live Preview behaviour. Then try to check onUpdate() and setSize() functions in native MM components to see how it works. Feel free to ask more (offlist as well). -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

I am using a component with some visible markings on the stage with Drag-n-drop scaling- although I can see the change in border size the movieclip inside stays the same size.

RE: [Flashcoders] Component and Live Preview problems
Do you subclass UIComponent or just MovieClip? What code do you use for onUpdate? Try to trace components names etc while in live preview. -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
