[Flashcoders] CSS styles vs. TextFormat
Hello Flashcoders, It is possible to replace CSS with TextFormat object using styleSheet.transform() . I'd like to know, what are advantages (if any) of using TextFormat instead of CSS ? I'm creating multiple text fields and want to apply tweening to them, so the question above is especially interesting in coordination with embedded fonts.

as for onenterframe (as with other 'major' events), I usually bubble that
event, as to give me more control of which object(usually a movieclip)
listens and which one doesn't, without altering the object itself. Has
little to do with threading, but I'm not sure if simulating threading in
actionscript actually gives any advantage, performance wise..

Then internally in TaskManager, you only run 1 loop per frame, or you
could use getTimer() to measure how long it is taking, and do as many
per frame as you can, without slowing things down too much. It's
slightly more typing than a simple for loop, but it's not that bad.
I'll leave the implementation of TaskManager as an exercise for the reader

Multi-threaded programing isn't a walk in the park, that's for

with that said, depending on how Scott implements his MovieClip approach
it
might be a lot cleaner than doing onEnterFrame() all over the place. It

RE: [Flashcoders] universal toString() function
Helen, Jobe - thanks for your replies!
Jobe: excellent, that comes very close and does help.
The only issue I had was that the for-in loop messes up the order of the
items in the Array. While for one-dimensional Arrays it's just reversed
and can be 'cured' easily by a call to Array.reverse(), with
multi-dimensional Arrays the order of the for-in loop is a non-intuitive
mess.
Taking your ideas and starting over I came up with this:
/*
Accepts a complex object and returns its String representation
Handy for saving complex data structures as Strings
The object may contain nested Variables of the following types:
Object, Array, String, Number, Boolean
Example:
o = {a:1, b:'Beta', c:{c1:[c1_0, c1_1, c1_2], c2:true}};
var s:String = stringify(o);
trace(s);
// Output:
// {a:1, b:Beta, c:{c1:[c1_0, c1_1, c1_2], c2:true}}
*/
function stringify(o:Object):String {
s = arguments[1] ? s : '';
var isArray:Boolean = o instanceof Array ? true : false;
s += isArray ? '[' : '{';
if(isArray) {
for(var i=0, len=o.length; ilen; i++){
if(i){ s += , }
s+= (typeof o[i] == object) ? stringify(o[i],
) : (typeof(o[i]) == 'string' ? ''+o[i]+'' : o[i]);
}
}else{
var c = '';
for(var p in o){
s += c + p +:+((typeof o[p] == object) ?
stringify(o[p], ) : (typeof(o[p]) == 'string' ? ''+o[p]+'' : o[p]));
c = , ;

It's not much more readable though ;-)

I'm quite sure that this must be around somewhere, but this time I

have any luck searching the archives...
What I'm looking for is similar to a deep-copy/clone method (e.g.
Arul/Tatsuo

get
a
String representation of the object.
Example of the desired functionality:
o = {a:1, b:2, c:{c1:['a','b','c'], c2:true}};
var s:String = universalToString(o);
trace(s);
Output: {a:1, b:2, c:{c1:['a','b','c'], c2:true}}
In my case the object will not contain any methods, just (deeply
nested)
'vanilla' Objects, Arrays, Strings, Numbers and Booleans.
Thanks for any pointers!

Through each version there have always remained a few common goals. What I have found is that: Flash is small -- from the player itself to the swf file format to the assets it is optimized to load, focus has been placed on small file sizes (this of course is not as apparent in many websites that are heavy in multimedia) Flash supports standards -- the player supports many web and multimedia formats standard in the industry, such as jpg, mp3 and xml Flash is interactive -- the players greatest strength is the dynamic behavoir through ActionScript to allow user interactivity MIDI, a music standard format that most computers support today, fits all of these categories (like a glove). In fact there's an opensource project being developed to allow MIDI through Flash, though it requires an additional download and install to the user apart from the Flash Player itself (seen at osflash.org) I'd like to take a poll. Do you think MIDI should be included in the Flash Player? Why or why not? I want both votes and opinions as I'll organize the results and send them off to Adobe, formerly known as Macromediahttp://www.macromedia.com. Please respond with some sort of opinion whether it's pro or con. I'll list the pros/cons I can think of below (you don't have to read the rest of this email if you already have your opinion). A little more on MIDI: MIDI is a standard music format (some will argue that it's the onlystandard) that represents pitches and instruments to be played as a song. It's extremely small, being the vector of music, and has to be interpreted by a users soundcard. Almost all computers these days support standard MIDI, though it sounds synthesized (especially on the voice and string instruments). Some soundcards or additional software transform the common MIDI into amazing orchestrations, but most users don't have this advanced playback. MIDI pros: can be generated dynamically and played through a sequencer to allow complete on-the-fly customization of sound. very small in filesize supported by almost all soundcards numerous applications for the creation of MIDI songs (many are free) it's a standard that has been around for a long time (so there is a lot of support for it) a small implementation (wouldn't increase the Flash Player size by more than 50K) MIDI cons: most people will have a more synthesized sound user experience isn't guarenteed to be consistant (for those with higher quality soundcards) as with all advancements, could make it really easy for developers to have annoying sounds playing on their sites ;) In short, if the Flash Player had a midi sequencer built in it would allow developers to create lightweight interactive music applications, such as this sheet music rendering application http://mediarain.com/musicrain or music creation applications. It could also allow users to experience a website that contained sound effects or decent background music at very little bandwidth cost. Formerly know as Macromedia has always been good about listening to the developer community and will surely make efforts to build the features we need, if we tell them. This is your forum.

Re: [Flashcoders] Who wants MIDI in the Flash Player?
Who wants MIDI in the Flash Player? YES PLEASE - I WANT MIDI in the Flash Player... Too many people assume MIDI is just for music, musicians and for musical instruments. It is not. Arguably MIDI's greatest success has been in interoperative hardware of many kinds. http://www.google.com/search?q=show+control In addition to keyboards, drum boxes, synths, FX devices and PCs, there is a valuable world of MIDI control surfaces which include Mixers. The control surfaces are rally a subset of the industrial uses of MIDI which fall under the rubrik MIDI SHOW CONTROL used by major entertainment developers for show biz extravaganzas, such as Rock and Broadway shows, Las Vegas themed developments and Theme parks like Disney World etc. Midi Show Control was at origin a broad and visionary protocol extension anticipating all kinds of devices and uses -- for example: laser discs [remember them], lighting systems, smoke machines, networked MPEG video players, hydraulic equipment, etc.. See list at end of this post or Check out the original 1991 spec MIDI SHOW CONTROL (MSC) 1.0 http://www.richmondsounddesign.com/txt/mscspec.txt THE SHOW CONTROL MAILING LIST There is a very intelligent and informative mailing list where dedicated professional Show Control developers discuss everything from precise programming issues, bug sleuthing, general brainstorming, security, project research and Show Control business. The list also addresses life beyond current MSC spec - next generation MIDI Show control if you will, Show Control over Ethernet, Wifi and so forth. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/show-control/ Let's be clear MIDI is only a subset of ShowControl. And most show control developers would not could not take Flash seriously for many applications and formany reasons - at least until now perhaps/ Among the obvious that there was NO midi, no hardware I/o, and not even an attempt to syncchronize sound with video. Flash sucks compared to other systems. Likewise Public security of big instsallations could be a nightmare in a theme park based on Flash. But the name of the game is to use each tool for what it doews BEST. And as all here know, Flash has some special virtues. So for designing and developing end user interfaces, especially the many stages of design mockups, aided by the growing portability of Flash makes it very attractive. For Show Control applications, Flash 8 offers convivial, easily customizable options. Thus the need for MIDI. In reality even if Flash had MIDI in the player, [which it should], full professional use would be limited due to likely timing unreliability. There are better and well known tools for handling that. But Show Control developers are famously ingenious and route around most problems by combining technologies in new ways, optimizing the benefits of each. For small scale applications or where timing and public safety are not an issues, MIDI in the Flash Player opens up a fascinating new world of using FLASH to drive an exciting range of external media hardware. Flash will probably never be able to compete with the likes of MAX, PD [PureData], KeyKit and others. But given the skill of programmers on this list I would not be surprised at what emerges, especially when used WITH those other MIDI-friendly hardware and software.

Of course, in thinking about this, with the new binary socket functionality, midi control could all be done by just writing a simple localhost to midi gateway. This would be pretty simple to do, and is probably what is needed anyway to deal with different drivers etc. And it makes total sense that if you want to control some local hardware that you need to download a piece of software. problem solved!! :) Regards Hank On 12/8/05, Martin Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is another side which would be great to open up.

Sure, it can already be done without binary sockets using a simple xml socket based server which translates whichever protocol to and from XML, for instance theres already flosc, a flash / java solution for OSC communication, and the same idea can be done for MIDI...but it would just be nice to minimise the number of pieces in the puzzle. :) still, my main interest is still in getting better sound in flash itself.

Re: [Flashcoders] Who wants MIDI in the Flash Player?
Yeah, I guess you really dont need binary for this although it might be a tad more efficient. But the data is really pretty low bandwidth so a XML socket server would be fine. And you are right it would be a nice to have in flash. Its just that I recently setup a small studio and everything seems to need a driver. I just wonder how comprehensive/seamless a system built into flash could be. I dont know much about how midi works on the pc and whether the OS already has a kind of internal midi bus so that app developers dont need to worry about compatibility. If all that is already there then it could be done in flash wihout any compatibility issues.

Re: [Flashcoders] Who wants MIDI in the Flash Player?
MIDI bandwidth demands can be very misleading. So routing via XML sockets, Jabber whatever is _great_ for some applications and hopeless real-time performance-wise for others. Just depends.. Consider simple example of even few sliders built in Flash app from which you want to send/receive continuous control messages to some midi device. XIFF library might come in handy for passing non-real-time Flash MIDI in collaborative apps. For example remote Flash driven Audio/Video jukebox type instruments remixing hardware playback from Flash-TiVos. This could mean an end to Flash Video horrors and much more like interactive video apps that Director suggested way back when.. Re: interface idea, I encourage everyone to play with KeyKit. It has a brilliant unique modular interface GUI design including a lovely idea of savable 'pages'. Stuff like that can now finally be done in Flash. without too much grief. [Based on Plan9 I think.]. If anyone has a heads-up on actionscript to do that, I'd love to hear from them. Keykit has so much to inspire and offer FlashMIDI. Cross platform, programmable free, fun, very different. KeyKit could make a powerful background midi processor for FlashMIDI uses. For example already includes a neato telnet interface.Nasty timing MIDI timing and routing issues could be handled by KeyKit, Flash could do cool parts of the interface. oh And let's not forget GeoMaestro KeyKit extension: http://www.zogotounga.net/GM/eGM0.html I believe adding MIDI to the Flash Player could have similar catalytic creative effect to when Atari first built a MIDI port into their computers -- opening the floodgates to some of the best original sequencer software like Dr Ts. Commodore Amiga did the same thing when they included Video in gamut. Revolutionary in its day and still some great ideas from that machine have not reappeared .. like multiple multi-tasked 'screens' you can switch between. Avoided the hideous visual clutter we have since advent of rectangular windows forever. KeyKit Pages is actually a pickup on that same interface idea. Now that PCs and now [again] merging deeper with consumer video appliances in the form of new DVD recorders all with Tivo functions, it seems to me that Flash _should_ be an ideal user interface environment. - Jason ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: SPAM-LOW: Re: [Flashcoders] FAQ Adobe acquisition of Macromedia
Actually you can group panels together in Flash 8, and they'll have tabs. Click the icon on the right in a tab header and select Group [PanelName] with. Then choose the panel you want it to be grouped with. Once they are grouped, they'll each have a tab. There seems to be a bug: the first time you group panels, then click a tab, the tabs disappear. Just collapse the panel and open it again and all is well.

Let me rephrase my question. I've used Macromedia (Adobe?) Director for
several years before jumping ship to Flash. There, field members are placed
in the cast, and changing value in one place automatically updates values in
all sprite instances.
E.g. member(message).text = OK [updates all sprites where the member
message has been placed]
I wanted to do something similar in Flash, and possibly put it into my code
library for future reuse, which is why I'm exploring a more OO solution.

Re: [Flashcoders] Display same value in 3 fields
Have you investigated the string table? (Press CTRL+F11 in authoring) We use the MX04 string table alongside a (heavily modified) version of the built-in Locale code all the time. We also use our own handrolled XML string tables (just files full of tagged-up string resources), depending on the circumstances. This lets you put some sort of symbol in your code - e.g. myField.text=Locale.loadString(IDS_TITLE); and then you change either a value in the string table (if you're doing it that way) or a value in an XML file somewhere. e.g. (fragment of standard Macromedia string table XML) trans-unit id=001 resname=IDS_TITLE sourceMain Menu/source /trans-unit Hope that's useful, Ian On 12/8/05, Pranav Negandhi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Let me rephrase my question.

eval(flying_mc+mycount)._x = randomX;

mycount++;
} else {
clearInterval(ID);
for (var i = 0; i1000; i++) {
//removeMovieClip(eval(flying_mc+i));
}
}
}
//function to periodically call another function
ID = setInterval(createFlyingMC, 50);
flying_mc.setupDrag();
now what I want to do is control the 10 flying_mc ive created
I thought it would be as simple as using flying_mc2.setupDrag(); or
flying_mc3.setupDrag(); but this seems not to be the case
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks dudes

[Flashcoders] Loading Image _width _height
Can anyone tell me why when I call the displayImage() function after I
fully loaded, and try to get the _width and _height of holderClip, it
comes back as zero. But if I wait 1 second after the load and run the
displayImage() function through the button click, it then finds the
width and height.
#include lmc_tween.as
var num:Number = 1;
var space:Number = 20;
function loadImage(){
holderClip.loadMovie(num+.jpg);
//holderClip._alpha = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
var lvBytesLoaded:Number = holderClip.getBytesLoaded();
var lvBytesTotal:Number = holderClip.getBytesTotal();
var percent = (lvBytesLoaded/lvBytesTotal)*100;
if (lvBytesLoaded == lvBytesTotal) {
trace(Image + num + loaded.);
displayImage();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}
function displayImage():Void {
//Image is not loaded.
var w = holderClip._width + space;
trace(Image width: +holderClip._width);
trace(Image new width: +w);
var h = holderClip._height + space;
trace(Image height: +holderClip._height);
trace(Image new height: +h);
/*
//Fade in Image / resize border
holderClip.tween(_alpha, 100, 2, easeOut);

Re: [Flashcoders] FWD- code completion ASDT
I've only used FAMES on Windows, so this might be a little different. To be able to use code completion for std8, go to the File-New-Other. In the New dialog choose the Simple folder, and choose Folder. Hit Next. Click on Advanced. Check Link to folder in the file system. Then browse to your folder. Make sure you put a name in the Folder name box above that. You can call it anything, but remember the name. Hit finish. Now the project knows where those classes are. The next step is to make the code completion engine see it. Goto Project-Properties, then AS2 Classpath. Type the name of the folder that you chose above in Classpath of . for Project. Click Add. Then OK. That should be it. Any classes in the folder you chose should be available for code completion. Make sure to use import on any if they are in namespaces.

Ignoring flashout for the time beign till player 8(.5 ) becomes available and a good opportunity to learn to work with ant (am i wright?). The only thing I miss is the code completion like in SEPY, where I can get to (the methods of) the standard mx classes via CTRL+space. Now I only get asdt to display the predefined snippets or newly declared classes'n stuff. I can't get the std(8) folder defined in the eclipse projects classpath nor doing it via the the declarations of paths in eclipse-preferences-AS2 MTASC submenu's gives me predefined mx class code hinting. Is their a way? What I noticed is that it works perfect if I hard-import the std folder in my project's src folder. But that's not the way, wright? Hard to find info on this, and some advice about a good workflow setup and code-hinting setup would do me great pleasure!

RE: [Flashcoders] Display same value in 3 fields
Thanks Ian. Looks quite interesting from a distance. Will the mx.lang.* classes add too many extra KB's into my published movie? Can I manipulate the string values at runtime? Does someone have code examples to do this? Also, my very basic investigation shows that using this creates a separate XML file to store the string values. Is this avoidable? I'm on a pretty firm spec where the swf has to be completely standalone with no external dependencies except the host application.

Re: [Flashcoders] fyi : AS3 Info on String/StringBuilderinFlashPlayer8.5
Thanks Scott, it's all very clear to me now. My guess is that simple string concatenation would be faster but both are much more efficient than our earlier implementation. It appears that my jargen isn't up to snuff, simple string concatenation refers to the String one + String two operation; I thought it refered to the StringBuilder class. It seems to make sense, so why not omit the StringBuilder completely, or base the technique in order to utilize the StringBuilders operations? I appeciate it, H On 12/8/05, Scott Hyndman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, the article isn't completely clear, but the way I'm reading it backs up what I'm saying.

No, there's no way of avoiding the external XML files without a lot of
fudging with the code.
Sounds like your best bet would be to simply create a look-up table
somewhere in your code - as a static singleton if needs be.
e.g.
class Strings
{
public var static MENU_TITLE:String=Main Menu;
public var static APP_TITLE:String=My Application;
}
myTextField.text=Strings.APP_TITLE;
and so on...

Re: [Flashcoders] Who wants MIDI in the Flash Player?
We built a MIDI sequencer for the PC that talks to Flash through an XMLSocket (though we just send smaller strings, not XML). On both Mac and Windows versions the code to make a sequencer capable of changing instruments, transposing, changing tempo, and indivudual volume of instruments, etc. was less than 70K. There are API's for each OS that abstract the different hardware and allow for such small implementation. The great thing about Alexis Isaac's MIDI Sequencer is that you can buildmusic on the fly based on user interaction. We could have easily streamed MP3's from the server with a better sound if we wanted to be static. We even looked into building MP3's on the server dynamically, but the smallest process we could find would be at least 3% processor per song. That sounds small, but it means 33 users geting sound simultaneously is 99% processor. It absolutely has to be on the client. It would be a great solution to avoid requiring an additional download from a less-known source than Macromedia/Adobe and immediately integrate dynamic sound into your applications.

The proxy-based tools are somewhat clunky to use, I've found. There's 'NetLimiter' a tool which works on a lower level, and lets you set upload vs download speeds, on a per application basis. Also makes nice graphs and stuff. http://www.netlimiter.com/ Things like charles servicecapture are very useful as a tool to see what requests / responses are being made. They don't work as well for speed limiting.

I thought that relative paths were relative to the path of the HTML file. This rule has worked for me without trouble until today when I found a .flv was relative to the path of the .swf.

Of course, in thinking about this, with the new binary socket functionality, midi control could all be done by just writing a simple localhost to midi gateway. This would be pretty simple to do, and is probably what is needed anyway to deal with different drivers etc. And it makes total sense that if you want to control some local hardware that you need to download a piece of software. problem solved!! :) Regards Hank ___ 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

Is it possible to check a number to see if its even / odd? Thanks! ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] Even odds
Use your friend the modulus operater:
If( I % 2 == 0)
{
//even number code
}
Else
{
//odd number code
}
This operater returns the remainder of a numbers division.

[Flashcoders] strange compiler error
Hi there, I try compile a fla file with the flash 8 IDE. It always gives me this pointless error message. **Error** E:\vss_data\ActionScriptClasses\org\hubb\flashBrowser\UserVO.as: Line 2: The name of this class, 'org.hubb.flashBrowser.UserVO', conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded, 'org.hubb.flashBrowser.UserVO'. Where's the conflict here? That's the same class? All my project classes are in the same directory org.hubb.flashBrowser; My main class imports all required classes. e.g. import org.hubb.flashBrowser.UserVO' And here's the wired thing: When I try to compile this fla at home it works just fine. Also if I do a syntax check with MTASC it's not giving me an error. Any ideas?

RE: [Flashcoders] Even odds
I just did a test. The bitwise approach is not faster...although when you think
about it, it really should be.
Here is the test code:
// Modulo - Time ~225ms
var time:Number = getTimer();
for (var i:Number = 0; i 8; i++) {
var isOdd:Boolean = 50010001 % 2 == 1;
}
trace(getTimer() - time);
// Bitwise And - Time: ~356ms
time = getTimer();
for (var i:Number = 0; i 8; i++) {
var isOdd:Boolean = Boolean(50010001 1);
}
trace(getTimer() - time);
I also did a quick test in Java. The bitwise AND approach is about 50%
faster...really makes you wonder. Maybe AS3 is an improvement.

Hi Scott,
the test won't work because (50010001 % 2 == 1) always resolves to
false and the compiler will optimize it (at least MMC, not sure about
MTASC). basically, the same is true for Boolean(50010001 1), but
maybe it just optimizes the (50010001 1) part because Boolean might
be a custom replacement for the intrinsic class?
mark
Here is the test code:
// Modulo - Time ~225ms
var time:Number = getTimer();
for (var i:Number = 0; i 8; i++) {
var isOdd:Boolean = 50010001 % 2 == 1;
}
trace(getTimer() - time);
// Bitwise And - Time: ~356ms
time = getTimer();
for (var i:Number = 0; i 8; i++) {

RE: [Flashcoders] strange compiler error
I set my system clock two years back (even though I'm pretty sure the system clock of the computer I created the file originally is set correctly) -didn't help either. I had similar problem a couple of moth ago. I had two classes which both had a variable of the data type of the other class. The flash complier (back then it used flash 7) gave me the same error message. I found a workaround by declaring one of the variables as an object datatype so I didn't have to import the class. In this application this is however not the case. I hope all these issues will be solved in AS3.

[Flashcoders] HTML text font size issue
Hi, Does anyone know about what is the maximum font size can be given toHTML text in Flash? If I create a HTML text field and change the font size to 127 pt, when I compare the SWF text size and text size in Flash authoring, SWF text size is smaller than what is in the authoring. When I trace textField.htmlText the size comes out to be 127, but it writes the correct HTML tags to SWF file with whatever size was given. I couldn't figure out about this type of behavior? Does anyone have clue about this? Regards: Dhiraj ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
