[Flashcoders] Want to use XML CData and an Array
Hello, Does anyone mind taking a look at this .fla frame 1 and see what it would take to load the cdata.xml file? I can get the non-cdata.xml file to load no problem. Source FLA file http://www.geocities.com/jon6662412/temp/non-cdata.fla Non-Cdata XML file (This loads) http://www.geocities.com/jon6662412/temp/cdata.xml Cdata XML file (This does not low) http://www.geocities.com/jon6662412/temp/cdata.xml To see it working just test the move and view the objects.

Re: SV: [Flashcoders] get, setTextFormat(), shared fonts and dynamic text fields
and I repeat myself: Macromedia should have come up with such solution ... no new thing, just the same as the inventor but on the smart side ... Cedric I managed to roughly understand it and am using it successfully - so cheers for that =D I don't really understand how it is forced to include the font. Just make sure ForceShared Library item Link value - Url is set to the .swf file of itself - the Url field will appear to disappear if you look at again, but this seems to be the key. (If anyone wants to explain why that would be great) Sencillo means Easy, use the example in that folder - just replicate the way it works and it works lovely. I'm very lucky that I am working with a few Spaniards as the site is global I am working on =D Issue There is a small issue with it though. I have a site which uses lots of fonts - so this is why I am using this technique. However the main .swf contains AvantGarde and a shared font library loaded in also has AvantGarde in it. The AvantGarde in the main movie overrides the shared library brought in, so if you only have static text fields generated in the authoring environment (on the timeline) in the main movie only the characters included in those will appear in any subsequently created dynamic text fields. In my case I have hacked the main movie clip by making one of the static text fields dynamic and embedding the characters I need there. There is a better solution, but for now 14k in a 200k+ file does not seem too bad - especially as we need the app to go live as a Beta sooner rather than later - so it starts to make money. This technique is a massive step forward ( I've tried to do this for ages - and was so close ) Regards gingerman ( flashcoders is brilliance - I am glad to see it back ) On 15 Nov 2005, at 17:08, Martin Baltzer wrote: Hi All, I tried to get trough the translated version of www.zarate.tv and I didn't understand that much :) But as far as I understood the following issues where unsolved - correct? - It cannot have in the film created text fields from the IDE (not even static) with the same source that the one that is going away to load... - It is not possible to use Bold or Italic styles I just wonder since I have just found the solution for those issues...so I guess the question is if this is common knowledge or do people still think its unsolveable?

Hi Greg
Thanks for the reply, but I don't think either of these are the issues.
This is the constructor of UserInteractionPanel:
public function UserInteractionPanel (controller:PanelController,
panelObj:Object) {}
And here's a version of GameoverPanel with all but the constructor removed:
class GameoverPanel extends UserInteractionPanel {
public function GameoverPanel(controller:PanelController, panelObj:Object) {
// Call the super() constructor passing it the panel object.
super(controller, panelObj);
// Populate the panel contents.
this.populatePanel();
}
}
Any other ideas? I seem unable to ever create a project involving AS2
classes without getting syntax errors when error checking. These often don't
stop the classes compiling and the application running properly, but they're
a pain.

Also try using :

If this was connected to prizes/tournaments, from what I remember it depends on whether the user pays to play or not; and the laws of the country that your site is hosted in. From a UK perspective, if the user paid to play you'd need a gaming and/or gambling license (gaming for fixed-odds, gambling for games of skill - I assume Backgammon would come under the latter). I know that to get one of those licenses in the UK (for interactive TV gaming, which is why I'm being a bit woolly about the website thing) we needed to buy a much better random number generator.

This Wikipedia entry explains about hardware generators: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number_generator If your game isn't pay-to-play, I _think_ you'd be in the clear and could use whatever randomness your client was happy with; as essentially your client would be giving away stuff for free.

(I haven't seen the data, so I don't know if that's true) I'd ask to see the data first - or record your own.

Psychology plays a part here, and people tend to expect fewer clumps than they get. I know that Math.random() is not the best random generator in the world.

If it's connected to prizes, I wouldn't use random() directly (you'd be amazed how seriously people can take this kind of thing). You might want to try using bitmapData.noise or bitmapData.perlinNoise as a source of random data - you can even use some number like the time of a mousedown event as the random seed.

Re: [Flashcoders] Math.random()
The randomness of Math.random is one possible source of concern but what you do with the random number to produce a dice roll is more important. It is easy to make a simple mistake in the mapping of a random number to an integer between 1 and 6 that results in a skewed distribution. Gamblers always complain about dice rolls even if you use real dice. Do they have a specific complaint about the rolls - never getting any doubles - too many doubles - too many double-sixes, no rolls with 5 in them, always the same sequence of rolls?? If the complaint is that their opponent is always getting better rolls, you can fiddle with Math.random until you die of boredom and not fix the problem. What is the suspected or reported problem? Play a few games and record all of the rolls, put them in a spreadsheet and do some simple tests. A basic statistics book will tell you how to test the randomness. Looking for patterns is harder but if the players claim that there are repeated sequences, you should see them pretty easily.

Re: [Flashcoders] End of flv playback event
The primary issue is the these NetStream Status Reports do not fire reliably. Buffer.Full is reported after playback has begun so if, for instance, you have a placeholder graphic over your video, and you tie it's fade to when Buffer.Full is sent, you need to give yourself some black padding at the begining of the video. You'd also need some at the end for Buffer.Empty. Also - if a buffer underrun occurs during playback - you need extra conditionals for that.

Not just more readable - consider the case where you're overriding
something:
class A
{
public function doSomething()
{
trace(Something in A);
}
}
class B extends A
{
public function doSomething()
{
super.doSomething();
trace(Something in B);
}
}
In this situation, using super.method() lets you call the parent
implementation of the method you're currently in. If you were limited to
this.method(), then you'd be trapped in an infinitely recursive loop as the
method kept calling itself...
In fact to do exactly this is normally the only time you'd use super.method().
If you're calling super.doSomethingElse() from your doSomething() function,
something is probably wrong with your OOP design...

I'm building a Flash 8 application with a complicated data model.

Eventually there will also need to be a text search function, and the 'book_count' and 'chapter_count' columns will need update to reflect the filtered amounts. I've been trying to work with components on the stage, the component inspector, and external .as classes to manipulate the data, but I've had no success so far.

Why sometimes IE dot not work corretly with flash player 8.5 and firefox work perfectly??? it seams that firefox and IE doesn´t use the same bridge to the flash player! take a look: Firefox - NPSWF32.dll - c:\program files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins IE - flash85.ocx - c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash So I install Flash Player 8.5 and unregister the flash85.ocx and I register again the flash.ocx the IE stop to work correctly, but firefox continues working perfectly with flash player 8.5 and my programs that I had been use flash.ocx (flash player 7) works fine again. than that´s what I conclude: * IE plugin use directly the same ActiveX controler that I had use on my programs. * Firefox plugin works with a encapsulate Flash ActiveX in a DLL.

RE: [Flashcoders] Cached Class instance
hi, this is an old bug of flash 7 and in flash 8 the fix is a new feature ... add a new project and put all used files in it (.fla and .as) then use the new very improved and genious feature of flash: delete aso files and test movie while your main .fla is active. if you dont use flash 8 you have to find the .aso files (somewhere in macromedia directory of userdir - dont know the correct path) which are the precompiled classes. delete it and recompile your football.swf so you dont have to made your class-name-change-dance hope this helps tobias ps: sorry about my bad english :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kris Hadlock Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 7:22 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Cached Class instance Did you happen to get this fixed? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Pete Hotchkiss Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 4:36 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: [Flashcoders] Cached Class instance I've stumbled across something of an annoying bug in Flash 8. It's difficult to accurately re-create but it's realy starting to p**s me off. I'm creating an app that has a base Application class that loads .swfs into a movie clip instance. Each of these swfs have bunch of stuff it, some of which talk back to the base app class. Nothing new there. However, lets say on of these .swfs loaded in has an instance of a class, lets call it football. I code a bunch of stuff for this class compile it into the swf, and all works. Then I test loading this football.swf into my base app. It all works fine there also. So I carry on making a bunch of changes to my football swf, mostly code but some visual changes. I re compile the football .swf, and local I see all the changes. I load it into the base app swf and all works ok. Lets say I have several rounds of this. Change Test Change Test etc etc. Ok you get the picture. No at some point, and it's completely in consistent when it occurs, the base app decides it's going to ignore any CODE changes you make to your football class. It just stubbornly ignores any change you make. If I test the football.swf locally, the code changes are displayed and all works. It's just when loaded into the base app it falls over. And here's 2 crazy things - I know it is DEFINITELY NOT cacheing the swf as any visual changes in the football.swf are reflected in the swf that's loaded into the app. It's only code that is ignored. More interestingly, if I go - SOD THIS FOR A LAUGH - a re-code the class verbatim - with a new class name (not instance name but Class name) the new code changes work when loaded into the base app. Truly very weird. And it gets weirder. This has been occurring ALL day - so I've been through about 6 rounds of class name changes - and I've run out of suitable names. So I go back to the ORIGINAL class name, and hey presto - code that must be 4 hours suddenly appears when running the base app. Ok - so I've tried the following. Re-starting Flash ... Makes dito of a difference Copying the Files to a local drive (I recall hearing a problem compiling over a networked drive) Renaming the FLA's About the only thing I haven't done is restart my machine - but it just aint practical to do that every 40 mins or so. So question. Has anybody else seen this behavior before? Have I inadverntaly pressed some inadvertently key combination (CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-Q-W-E-R-T-Y) that triggers a cache option in the compiler ? This is a Win2k box - with buckets of ram.

it is fired next frame after the sound ends. if you start your sound using a

Re: [Flashcoders] onLoop event for sound
Hey Chris, you're right that onSoundComplete only gets fired when the
sound has completely finished playing. The Class you wrote is handling
it the way I currently am, which is great ... the only thing I'm
noticing is that on some slower machines, when you start each loop
onSoundComplete there is a tiny pause that doesn't seem to be there
when it loops on its own ... basically I wanted to see what ideas
everyone would come up with, and it seems like I'm on the right track.
Thanks a lot,

[Flashcoders] convert mail form from HTML to Flash
I need to convert a currently-working webmail form from html to
Flash. I've created Flash webmail forms sending to ASP, but I'm not
able to figure it out in this case. Maybe in part because it was
built in FrontPage :)
The current html page uses this, which works:
form method=POST action=_vti_bin/shtml.exe/contact_us.htm
onSubmit= webbot-action=--WEBBOT-SELF--
So far, I'm using this from Flash (also tried it without the domain path):
//
btnSubmit.onRelease = function() {
loadVariablesNum(http://www.clientDomain.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/contact_us.htm;,
0, POST);
};
//
but that's not doing it, even when I try to send all variable
declarations I can find on the html page. There are some checksum
values being passed and I'm not sure if that's throwing everything
off. Also not sure how to declare something like webbot-action in
AS, which doesn't like the hyphen (I tried this[webbot-action]).
Anybody see what I'm doing wrong here, or willing to look at the html
page to help me? I'm pretty blind when it comes to non-ActionScript
programming.
thanks,
Marc

RE: [Flashcoders] onLoop event for sound
oh yes - you are right.
i used it in an old project like i explained before. but i also used
onSoundComplete to restart the sound. something like that.
loopcount = 0;
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.attachSound(test);
mySound.onSoundComplete = function() {
trace( ++loopcount );
this.start(0,1)
}
mySound.start(0, 1);
but the second part of my answer was correct. if you use something like
that:
mySound.start(0, 100);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(mySound.position+/+mySound.duration);
if(mySound.position==mySound.duration) trace( loop );
}
you will see the second trace is not fired :(
the first script is working, but i think this is not good for real
background loops because of the little break you can hear. so you have to
try to syncronize framerate and loop length.

[Flashcoders] Tool Tip with Flash MX 2004 DataGrid
I posted this on my blog (http://www.leifwells.com), but I thought I'd
try giving the Flashcoders list a shot at this, too.
We are trying to get a tool tip to work with a DataGrid component. And failing.
The project we are doing is a rather complex AS 2.0 project, so I
created this rather simple AS 1.0 version as a stand-alone example of
our problem. (you'll note that the setInterval() and
clearInterval() calls are commented to prove that they are not the
problem)
The FLA file with the code (below) can be downloaded at:
http://www.leifwells.com/zip/dg_problem.zip
THE PROBLEM: when you roll over the text in the cell a itemRollOut
event is getting fired a itemRollOver is also fired -- that's when

[Flashcoders] Sound object issue / OnEnterFrameBeacon?
Hi,
I have run into a strange problem (developing in Flash Studio 8).
I have a class that starts streaming a mp3 file in a Sound object.
When I do this alone, it works perfectly. But as soon as I also
animate something with the Tween class (using OnEnterFrameBeacon), the
mp3 stops playing at random positions.
Any suggestions?

Application class:
[code]
import com.application.StreamedSound;
import com.application.Logo;
class com.application.Application {
private var _mcRoot:MovieClip;
function Application(mcRoot:MovieClip){
_mcRoot = mcRoot;
createLogo();
createSound();
}
private function createLogo():Void{
new Logo(_mcRoot.mcLogo);
}
private function createSound():Void{
var streamedsoundTest:StreamedSound = new StreamedSound(_mcRoot);
}
}
[/code]
---
StreamedSound class:
[code]
class com.application.StreamedSound {
private var _mcRoot:MovieClip;
private var _soundTest:Sound;
function StreamedSound(mcRoot:MovieClip){
_mcRoot = mcRoot;
loadSound();
}
private function loadSound():Void{
var mcSoundContainer:MovieClip =
_mcRoot.createEmptyMovieClip(mcSoundContainer,10);
_soundTest = new Sound();
_soundTest.loadSound(media/mp3/test.mp3,true);
}
}
[/code]
---
Logo class:
[code]
import com.movement.tween.easing.*;
import com.movement.tween.Tween;
class com.application.Logo {
// instance properties
private var _mcLogo:MovieClip;
function Logo(mcLogo:MovieClip){
_mcLogo = mcLogo;
createLoadingTween();
}
private function createLoadingTween():Void{
var objLoadingListener:Object = new Object();
objLoadingListener.onMotionFinished = function():Void{
tweenLoading.yoyo();
}
var tweenLoading:Tween = new
Tween(_mcLogo,_alpha,Quad.easeInOut,45,10,20);

Re: [Flashcoders] Tool Tip with Flash MX 2004 DataGrid
Not sure exactly how Flex handles it, but for all mouseDowns and mouseUps
(yes, that's all), they use a movieclip on _root, and use it's droptarget to
know what you clicked on. As such, you could create a class to get info
from mx.events.LowLevelEvents (not sure if exactly the same in Flash, doubt
it's too different). Then, if some component has added itself to be a
Tooltip listener, and the LowLevelEvents knows it's over that particaular
component, it can show the tooltip.
The only issue I could see with this is that in Flex, they use onMouseMove,
which is CPU intensive. Secondly, they actually use mixins with UIComponent
to it has a tooltip property, whereas you may have to use a mixin or some
other base class.
Just ideas.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Tool Tip with Flash MX 2004 DataGrid
I posted this on my blog (http://www.leifwells.com), but I thought I'd
try giving the Flashcoders list a shot at this, too.
We are trying to get a tool tip to work with a DataGrid component. And
failing.
The project we are doing is a rather complex AS 2.0 project, so I
created this rather simple AS 1.0 version as a stand-alone example of
our problem. (you'll note that the setInterval() and
clearInterval() calls are commented to prove that they are not the
problem)
The FLA file with the code (below) can be downloaded at:
http://www.leifwells.com/zip/dg_problem.zip
THE PROBLEM: when you roll over the text in the cell a itemRollOut
event is getting fired a itemRollOver is also fired -- that's when
the cursor changes to the i-beam cursor.
For instance, if you test the FLA file and you move your cursor over
the area to the right of the price column, you'll see the tool tip
pop up just fine. But then try moving your cursor over the price or
the name. Keep moving it across the text. What a mess!

Re: [Flashcoders] Math.random()
You would not worry about someone being able to hack the client and modify the roll generation to allow the player to choose the desired roll and then send it (or the play result - move) to the server or just substitute the client with a client that lets rolls be specified? I am less worried about hacking the random number generator since if you want a double five it is going to be easier to specify that than to go to the trouble of specifying a random number that is going to generate a double six roll. I think that you want all play that should not be under control of the player to be done on the server. That way, there is no chance of a rogue client beating the system.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2, compiler errors...
Absolutely, but I'd never have been trapped as I didn't understand
overriding properly ;)
I wasn't aware that when a subclass overrides a superclass method it leaves
the superclass method intact. Is that correct?
On 11/17/05, Ian Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Not just more readable - consider the case where you're overriding
something:

class B extends A

{
super.doSomething();
trace(Something in B);
}
}
In this situation, using super.method() lets you call the parent
implementation of the method you're currently in. If you were limited to
this.method(), then you'd be trapped in an infinitely recursive loop as
the
method kept calling itself...

Re: [Flashcoders] How to pass init param from movieclip to its associating AS2 class
Thanks David for the tip.
I would like the artist to set certain values, so ideally, a method that
doesn't require them to mess with the script window is the best.
Would it be ok if I add parameters to the Component Definition? Behind the
scene what is the difference between a movieclip vs a movieclip with component
definition set? It seems like both behave like a regular mc anyways...except
that one you can compile into SWC.
Another question I have is that component can also be associated with AS 2
as well, what's the effects of setting AS2 there alongside with AS2 in linkage
property?
David Rorex [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In your class, define the variable you
want to pass in, like:
class Test extends MovieClip
{
var passedIn;
//...
}
Then, on the stage, select your movieclip instance, and bring up the
actionscript window (press F9), and enter the code:
onClipEvent(load)
{
passedIn = 123;
}
NOTE: Passed in variables will not be availabe until 1 frame after the
component loads (I think), so either don't use them in the
constructor, or put a 1 frame delay.

- always the Styles failed to load message.
Do I have to place styles.css on the web server alongside the scripts which
feed data to the movie and fetch it from there?

Re: [Flashcoders] Style sheet does not load - puzzled.
If you have your SWF's in different directories than your HTML pages you may
need to check/add the BASE attrib in your object/embed.

Trace your CSS and check it's actually being loaded.

Here's the code, much of it will look familiar ...

myCSS.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {

trace(Styles loaded:);

Re: [Flashcoders] Style sheet does not load - SOLVED
Andy,
Thank you - cut and pasted your styles into styles.css, and it worked.
Hmmm. Looked VERY CAREFULLY at my definitions. Sure enough, in one style
definition I had a ( instead of {.
They look v. different here, but that pathetic parenthetic error looked
like a bodacious brace in UltraEdit, and I had only a half-dozen styles to
check!!
Regards, and thanks again - Miles Thompson

No worries miles, whenever im stuck on a bug I just can't figure it's

Probably doesn't need to since it looks like a kiosk app for the Genius Bar at The Grove in the LA area. So it's probably built to be run on a widescreen imac and not delivered on the web.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tabbing inside AS2 UIComponent
If you're having the problem that I think it is it is mentioned in Jesse's
component tutorial http://dev.jessewarden.com/captivate/flashcomponents/-
I think you might need to disable tabbing to the external component
(containing).

Does anyone have an idea on how to handle it?

Re: [Flashcoders] How to pass init param from movieclip to its associated AS2 class
Thank you Muzak. I remember reading it, I will read the whole thing again so
it sticks. Is there any reason why we shouldn't do this to every class that
we associate an AS2.0 class with? That is, is there any downside if I just
associate all my mc with the AS2.0 class in the Component Definition instead
of the Linkage property? It seems like Component definition has the added
niceties that allows you to set the parameters in the IDE.

Parameters defined in the properties panel will be set *before* the constructor
of the class is exectuted, avoiding the 1 frame
delay that otherwise occurs.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] How to pass init param from movieclip to
itsassociating AS2 class
Thanks David for the tip.
I would like the artist to set certain values, so ideally, a method that
doesn't require them to mess with the script window is
the best.
Would it be ok if I add parameters to the Component Definition? Behind the
scene what is the difference between a movieclip vs
a movieclip with component definition set? It seems like both behave like a
regular mc anyways...except that one you can
compile into SWC.
Another question I have is that component can also be associated with AS 2
as well, what's the effects of setting AS2 there
alongside with AS2 in linkage property?
David Rorex wrote: In your class, define the variable you want to pass in,
like:
class Test extends MovieClip
{
var passedIn;
//...
}
Then, on the stage, select your movieclip instance, and bring up the
actionscript window (press F9), and enter the code:
onClipEvent(load)
{
passedIn = 123;
}
NOTE: Passed in variables will not be availabe until 1 frame after the
component loads (I think), so either don't use them in the
constructor, or put a 1 frame delay.

turn the movieclip to a component in order to pass init params?
