Thanks a lot for all your answers, Martin, Grant and Campbell,
So I got a additional step: I have a domain problem now...
the response.setHeader didn't change anything at the beginning, but may 
help to go further. the proxy, we tried to build one yesterday, but not 
enough time...so thanks for the link
I got my service working on the 8443 port by uploading the swf on the 
same server where the service is located.
Why isn't it possible to reach it from another domain? I put the 
crossdomain.xml on the server, is there another security rule?

Hi List
It seems that I found antoher point to explain my difficulties to obtain 
a result in connecting my WS.
The server has a Double-side certificate. I installed the certificate on 
firefox, so I can call correctly the https webservice via the browser, 
on the 8448 port without any problem,

but maybe flash can't communicate correctly?
I thought that the browser holding the swf was the only concerned by the

Re: [Flashcoders] How to use DispatchEvent in AS2.0 class

2006-01-12 Thread Julien Vignali

Look at Grant Skinner article on using EventDispatcher: 
http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/23.html


Basically you can use EventDispatcher in three ways.
Here are a simple example:

// create an Action instance
var action:Action = new Action();

// create the listeners
var listener1:Listener1 = new Listener1();
var listener2:Listener2 = new Listener2();
var listener3:Listener3 = new Listener3();

// add listeners to the action
action.addEventListener(done, listener1);
action.addEventListener(done, listener2);
action.addEventListener(done, listener3.onDoneEvent);

// trigger events by calling the perform() method
action.perform();




The trace should look like:
Action.perform() called
Listener3.onDoneEvent() : event 'actionDone' received
Listener2.handleEvent(): event 'actionDone' received
Listener2.actionDone(): event 'actionDone' received
Listener1.actionDone() : event 'actionDone' received


-

import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class Action {
public var dispatchEvent:Function;
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
private var classname:String;

public function Action(){
// enable class A to dispatch events
// and handle listeners
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
classname = Action;
}

public function get name():String {
return this.classname;
}

public function perform():Void {
// do some stuff
trace(Action.perform() called);
// then dispatch the 'done' event to listeners
dispatchEvent({target:this, type:actionDone});
}
}


-

/*
 * Method 1: event is handle by a method whose name is
 * the same as the event name.
 */
class Listener1 {
// Event handler for event of type 'done'
public function actionDone(event:Object):Void {
var type:String = String(.type);
trace(Listener1.actionDone(): event '+type+' received);
}
}


-

/*
 * Method 2: use of the generic method handleEvent(), which is called by
 * default by the EventDispatcher. This method can be useful to catch
 * any received events.
 * Note that the doneAction() method is also called.
 */
class Listener2 {
public function handleEvent(event:Object):Void {
var type:String = String(event.type);
trace(Listener2.handleEvent(): event '+type+' received);
}

public function actionDone(event:Object):Void {
var type:String = String(event.type);
trace(Listener2.actionDone(): event '+type+' received);
}

}

-

/*
 * Method 3: The event is handle by a custom method.
 */
class Listener3 {
public function onDoneEvent(event:Object):Void {
var type:String = String(event.type);
trace(Listener3.onDoneEvent(): event '+type+' received);
}

}

Re[2]: [Flashcoders] Detecting the dominating colour in a rectangle of a bitmap

2006-01-12 Thread Iv

Hello elibol,

Perhaps, you could use scaling BitmapData instance to the size of 1
pixel. The color of that pixel should be the mean color value of all
pixels in scaled BitmapData instance.


 I would like to ask if anyone already have some sort method that
 calculates which colour in a rectangle is the dominating colou in a
 BitmapData instance.

SV: SV: [Flashcoders] certificate

Oh yes and it is actually a bit har d to tell you where exactly things may fall 
apart:)

1. make sure that the crossdomain file responds on both http and https. Makes 
sure that the secure attribute is set to false
allow-access-from domain=domainA secure=false /

2. If you have a swf on http loading in a swf or service on https you must 
declare System.security.allowInsecureDomain() inside the http swf ewven though 
its on the same domain (flash does not treat http://domain.com and 
https://domain.com equally)

3. Did you install your self signed certicate in the browser? If you hit any 
https page on the server do you get an alert the first time in the session? If 
so flash don't like that and you need to install the certificate first if 
possible. Another solution is to hit any https page on the server before 
launching your flash app because the alert only happens the first time in the 
session.

SV: SV: [Flashcoders] flash 8 security hint

You did try without the ' around always...should have been:

param name=allowScriptAccess value=allways

You probably already noticed that :)

That would be my guess but your right in your assumptions though.

What about creating a basic sample does that work for you?
How are you loading swfB into swf A? Is it a relative url on https or so?

Hi Martin!

I tried and nothing new ... (spent the whole evening trying to

actually, all of these are on the same domain, so NO security  
restriction should arise ...
then this works when published to flash player 6 format,
hence meaning this is some funky 7 and/or 8 constraints ...
then I read both technical papers (40 pages!!) and nothing 

I have been doing crossdomain.xml + other security things (even  
https) for more than 4 years now ...
and I am all lost ;)

all I know is that A.swf loads in B.swf which in  turn calls a method  
on A.swf ..

Yes I already corrected  around always (allways) ;)
I am loading using an absolute path (http://www.mydomain/anyDir/ 
myLoadedFile.swf)
and of course, no https ... so this is something  very percise, but I  
cannot seem to get the concept...sigh
my resolution for today: as I lost 1/2 day yesterday, I will put that  
aside, revert the files to flash 6 format, and keep on developing
though it would have been nice to add some v8 effects to my 'app' ...  
and to be 2005 :-)


I will get back to the list once I can show a sample of my problems ...
;)

Re: SV: SV: [Flashcoders] certificate


Thanks a lot, Martin!
I don't call a swf from antoher, I will have a project on a http:1024 
server and will call webservices on another server, on https:8443. The 
next version will have a Flash Media Server between the 2 others.
We've finally found the problem !! it works now but there's still 
something not very clear.
There were 2 problems : the developper by the customer had told me that 
he had put the crossdomain.xml in the root folder, but he did in the 
project root folder, not the server one... 2 days to find this out ... 
argh !!
The ohter thing is the strange one : to make it run, my html page 
holding the calling swf has to be also on a https:8443 server also !! 
Even if it's antoher server, ohter domain, etc... if I change the port 
or let it without https, I doesn't work why?

SV: SV: SV: [Flashcoders] certificate

Because changing protocol, port or server makes flash thinks its crossing 
domains :)

So you still have a crossdomain issue and need to be aware of possible 
inSecuredomain issues!

1.Go back and try http to http on different servers! If it works crossdomain 
issues should be ok

2. If step 1 works then try to switch vack to load from https and see what 
happens.

So you still have a crossdomain issue and need to be aware of possible

1.Go back and try http to http on different servers! If it works crossdomain
issues should be ok

2. If step 1 works then try to switch vack to load from https and see what

argh !!
The ohter thing is the strange one : to make it run, my html page
holding the calling swf has to be also on a https:8443 server also !!
Even if it's antoher server, ohter domain, etc... if I change the port

2. If you have a swf on http loading in a swf or service on https you must
declare System.security.allowInsecureDomain() inside the http swf ewven though
its on the same domain (flash does not treat http://domain.com and
https://domain.com equally)

3. Did you install your self signed certicate in the browser? If you hit any https page on the server do you get an alert the first time in the session? If so flash don't like that and you need to install the certificate first if possible. Another solution is to hit any https page on the server before launching your flash app because the alert only happens the first time in the session.

Re: [Flashcoders] priority for downloading content

2006-01-12 Thread Ramon Tayag

   Question #1:
   I'd like to set some kind of priority for content, sound etc. so
   if, say, there's a need to download important content, less
   important content won't start loading?
   Note: I know about queues, but need smth different.

Question #2:
Is there a way to stop downloading (of less important) content and
start again later?


   Thanks in advance.

I made this SupreLoader class that loads different files that are
listed down in an xml.  It's relies on the fact that the user's
computer will cache it, so when the user actually requests that file,
it needn't be downloaded anymore.

It can be told to halt() when the downloading should be stopped (like
you need to download something more imp't).  However, telling it to
stop for everything you want to prioritize, then telling it to
continue when ur done downloading is rather tedious.  Furthermore, you
cannot stop a download that has already started (save for closing the
flash movie) - so the SupreLoader will only not continue downloading
the next item in the queue.

I tried to make it automatic, but unfortunately, there is no way to
find out if you wish to remain within Flash.  Outside of Flash, I
wouldn't know.

[Flashcoders] Adding Texfield to MovieClip via Composition Class

2006-01-12 Thread Dennis Hart

I am having a problem with adding a text field to an attached movieClip
through a class construct using composition.

For example:

class Tab {
public var label_txt:TextField;
public var tab_fmt:TextFormat;

public function Tab(name:String, target:MovieClip, depth:Number,
x:Number, y:Number) {
tab_mc = target.attachMovie(Tab, name, depth);
}

public function addText():Void {

//Text Format for buttons
tab_mc.tab_fmt = new TextFormat();
tab_mc.tab_fmt.font = ArialBold;
tab_mc.tab_fmt.color = 0x00;
tab_mc.tab_fmt.size = 11;

tab_mc.createTextField(label_txt, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0);
tab_mc.label_txt.border = true;
tab_mc.label_txt.autoSize = true;
tab_mc.label_txt.multiline = false;
tab_mc.label_txt.text = Test String;
tab_mc.label_txt.antiAliasType = advanced;
tab_mc.label_txt.embedFonts = true;
tab_mc.label_txt.setTextFormat(tab_fmt);

}

public function setPosition(x:Number, y:Number):Void {
tab_mc._x = x;
tab_mc._y = y;
}

}

For testing this, I created an instance of the class on frame 1 then a few
frames later, I have tried both of the two methods. The setPosition method
works handily, but that text field simply refuses to exist.

The addText method works fine when the class extends MovieClip and the
target is set to this. . . So what is it that I am doing wrong or don't
quite understand?

Thanks

  I thought that the browser holding the swf was the only concerned by the

 browser thinks the https page is already expired when it receives it and 
 therefore it won't return it to flash. 

 This is only an issue in Internet Explorer but it can be fixed if proper 
 cache headers are being set on the serverside.

 In JAVA/JSP the following extra cache headers solved the problem for me :)

 response.setHeader(Cache-Control, no-store); 
 response.setHeader(Pragma, no-store);   

 Hope that works
 Martin

 Emne: Re: [Flashcoders] certificate

 I have had some issue's with certificates and flash. 

 I use charles which is an http proxy to intercept the requests between the 
 browser and the server to figure out what the issue was.  1st test is really 
 to create an html page and call your webservice using a form post and make 
 sure the certificates are working within the browser and the webserver 
 BEFORE you try and use the service from flash.

 There is cheap http proxy thats better than charles but I forget who created 
 it.

 ah, here is the link http://kevinlangdon.com/serviceCapture/

 Hi List
 It seems that I found antoher point to explain my difficulties to obtain 
 a result in connecting my WS.
 The server has a Double-side certificate. I installed the certificate on 
 firefox, so I can call correctly the https webservice via the browser, 
 on the 8448 port without any problem,
 but maybe flash can't communicate correctly?
 I thought that the browser holding the swf was the only concerned by the 
 certificate, as flash isn't seen by the servers, but only the webpage 
 holding it... am I wrong? Can Flash have problems with the certificate?
 thanks a lot

RE: [Flashcoders] Adding Texfield to MovieClip via Composition Class

You will need to use a separate function say :
Public function applyText(name:String, target:MovieClip, depth:Number,
x:Number, y:Number){

tab_mc = target.attachMovie(Tab, name, depth);
}
Don't forget if you are attaching this class to the library symbol, the
first time it is used will instantiate the class only once.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Adding Texfield to MovieClip via Composition
Class

I am having a problem with adding a text field to an attached movieClip
through a class construct using composition.

For example:

class Tab {
public var label_txt:TextField;
public var tab_fmt:TextFormat;

public function Tab(name:String, target:MovieClip, depth:Number,
x:Number, y:Number) {
tab_mc = target.attachMovie(Tab, name, depth);
}

public function addText():Void {

//Text Format for buttons
tab_mc.tab_fmt = new TextFormat();
tab_mc.tab_fmt.font = ArialBold;
tab_mc.tab_fmt.color = 0x00;
tab_mc.tab_fmt.size = 11;

tab_mc.createTextField(label_txt, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0);
tab_mc.label_txt.border = true;
tab_mc.label_txt.autoSize = true;
tab_mc.label_txt.multiline = false;
tab_mc.label_txt.text = Test String;
tab_mc.label_txt.antiAliasType = advanced;
tab_mc.label_txt.embedFonts = true;
tab_mc.label_txt.setTextFormat(tab_fmt);

}

public function setPosition(x:Number, y:Number):Void {
tab_mc._x = x;
tab_mc._y = y;
}

}

For testing this, I created an instance of the class on frame 1 then a
few
frames later, I have tried both of the two methods. The setPosition
method
works handily, but that text field simply refuses to exist.

The addText method works fine when the class extends MovieClip and the
target is set to this. . . So what is it that I am doing wrong or
don't
quite understand?

Thanks

looks like you need to make tab_mc a member variable of the class.

then if you are having problems try tracing tab_mc as soon as its 
created, as well as the other parameters that you are passing in. Make 
sure they all have the correct values.

RE: [Flashcoders] TreeDataProvider - There is no method withthename'addTreeNode'

In todays flash player yes but with advent of AS3 the compiler will
require it to maximize engine efficiency.  I suppose you could argue
that the compiler could make those judgment calls on the fly but in many
cases it can't and won't which bloats the end result (memory
allocation/hash tables). No?

[Flashcoders] Generic Message Prompt Design Pattern

2006-01-12 Thread Keith Salisbury

Is there a commonly used design pattern to solve the issue of a
message prompt/window which needs to act differently depending on the
message it shows.

For example,

the message might be that didnt work, do you want to try again with
two buttons, Ok and Cancel

or

the message might be well done, you did something right with just
Continue button

In the first example, there may be many occasions where a yes/no
question is asked, and the action will change each time, so it makes
sense that the prompt window simply dispatches the event, either
OK or Cancel etc and the listeners can deal with it as they see
fit.

.how do you guys solve this problem?

Nothing in particular - just a style of naming vars.  I don't do it
because it looks too much like PHP and I get disoriented.

I recall seeing this technique used to distinguish public from private

[Flashcoders] __junk object?

2006-01-12 Thread Pauline McNamara

Recently we were trying to debug an MX2004 fla that had components with 
bindings. We found out about the mistake you never make twice: copying and 
pasting such a binded component, but that's another story.


While looking into it using the debugger, we found an object called __junk. In 
that particular file, *all* the content had been removed, yet an error message 
was still appearing, something about an endpoint not being found (I think). And 
there was this __junk object living on _level0. Anyway, it looked kind of like 
the ghosts of these deleted components were living in an object called __junk.


Anyone ever heard of it?

[Flashcoders] Track key up event for simultaneously pressed keys

2006-01-12 Thread Joe Cutting



I wonder what is the best way to capture a key-is-up event if several
keys are pressed at once. For example if I press and hold left then
press spacebar and release it onKeyUp won't fire till I release left key


I always used Key.isDown() which works fine.

Have you tested that you can't detect two keys using onKeyUp?

Unfortunately Flash 8.5 is scheduled to have Key.isDown removed for 
security reasons
- there was discussion of this on the list over Christmas but we 
never got an answer from
Macrobe or anyone else as to whether it will be possible to detect 
two keys at once

using the KeyUp / KeyDown.

Re: [Flashcoders] Adding Texfield to MovieClip via Composition Class

2006-01-12 Thread Dennis Hart

Thanks for your help gentlemen.

I reread the code that I entered when I started this thread and realized
that I did overlook the critical public var tab_mc; in this email, however
I did in fact have it in my Tab.as file declared as -  private var
tab_mc:MovieClip; - I don't think it would have compiled otherwise.

I thought perhaps the 'private' declaration was the problem so I switched it
to 'public', but still no text field.

Robert - I created a new sandbox, added your class code below then created a
new Tab.fla in the same folder, added a new MovieClip to the Library named
Tab, exported it for ActionScript: identifier: Tab ActionScript 2.0
Class: Tab and did the same for the new font ArialBold I added to the
library - ActionScript 2.0 Class: ArialBold

Then placed your code. . .

var oTxt:Tab = new Tab(howdy,ds, 1);
ds.howdy.label_txt.text = new text;

. . . on frame one of the _root level of the tab.fla and I see nothing. .
.

Btw I am using flash 8. . . Any ideas? I am baffled.

 Actually I just tried it and it worked:
 class Tab {
   public var label_txt:TextField;
   public var tab_fmt:TextFormat;
   public var tab_mc;
   
   public function Tab(name:String, target:MovieClip,
 depth:Number,x:Number, y:Number) {
   tab_mc = target.attachMovie(Tab, name, depth);
   }
 
   public function addText():Void {
   //Text Format for buttons
   tab_mc.tab_fmt = new TextFormat();
   tab_mc.tab_fmt.font = ArialBold;
   tab_mc.tab_fmt.color = 0x00;
   tab_mc.tab_fmt.size = 11;
   
   tab_mc.createTextField(label_txt, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0);

 You will need to use a separate function say :
 Public function applyText(name:String, target:MovieClip, depth:Number,
 x:Number, y:Number){
 
   tab_mc = target.attachMovie(Tab, name, depth);
 }
 Don't forget if you are attaching this class to the library symbol, the
 first time it is used will instantiate the class only once.

 Subject: [Flashcoders] Adding Texfield to MovieClip via Composition
 Class
 
 I am having a problem with adding a text field to an attached movieClip
 through a class construct using composition.
 
 For example:
 
 class Tab {
   public var label_txt:TextField;
   public var tab_fmt:TextFormat;
   
   public function Tab(name:String, target:MovieClip, depth:Number,
 x:Number, y:Number) {
   tab_mc = target.attachMovie(Tab, name, depth);
   }
 
   public function addText():Void {
 
   //Text Format for buttons
   tab_mc.tab_fmt = new TextFormat();
   tab_mc.tab_fmt.font = ArialBold;
   tab_mc.tab_fmt.color = 0x00;
   tab_mc.tab_fmt.size = 11;
   
   tab_mc.createTextField(label_txt, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0);
   tab_mc.label_txt.border = true;
   tab_mc.label_txt.autoSize = true;
   tab_mc.label_txt.multiline = false;
   tab_mc.label_txt.text = Test String;
   tab_mc.label_txt.antiAliasType = advanced;
   tab_mc.label_txt.embedFonts = true;
   tab_mc.label_txt.setTextFormat(tab_fmt);
 
   }
   
   public function setPosition(x:Number, y:Number):Void {
   tab_mc._x = x;
   tab_mc._y = y;
   }
   
 }
 
 For testing this, I created an instance of the class on frame 1 then a
 few
 frames later, I have tried both of the two methods. The setPosition
 method
 works handily, but that text field simply refuses to exist.
 
 The addText method works fine when the class extends MovieClip and the
 target is set to this. . . So what is it that I am doing wrong or
 don't
 quite understand?
 
 Thanks

Thanks for your help gentlemen.

I reread the code that I entered when I started this thread and realized
that I did overlook the critical public var tab_mc; in this email,
however
I did in fact have it in my Tab.as file declared as -  private var
tab_mc:MovieClip; - I don't think it would have compiled otherwise.

I thought perhaps the 'private' declaration was the problem so I
switched it
to 'public', but still no text field.

Robert - I created a new sandbox, added your class code below then
created a
new Tab.fla in the same folder, added a new MovieClip to the Library
named
Tab, exported it for ActionScript: identifier: Tab ActionScript 2.0
Class: Tab and did the same for the new font ArialBold I added to
the
library - ActionScript 2.0 Class: ArialBold

Then placed your code. . .

var oTxt:Tab = new Tab(howdy,ds, 1);
ds.howdy.label_txt.text = new text;

. . . on frame one of the _root level of the tab.fla and I see
nothing. .
.

Btw I am using flash 8. . . Any ideas? I am baffled.

 Actually I just tried it and it worked:
 class Tab {
   public var label_txt:TextField;
   public var tab_fmt:TextFormat;
   public var tab_mc;
   
   public function Tab(name:String, target:MovieClip,
 depth:Number,x:Number, y:Number) {

   tab_mc.tab_fmt = new TextFormat();
   tab_mc.tab_fmt.font = ArialBold;
   tab_mc.tab_fmt.color = 0x00;
   tab_mc.tab_fmt.size = 11;
   
   tab_mc.createTextField(label_txt, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0);

[Flashcoders] private - public


Hi list
I've already posted this problem, and you have answered me, but the 
problem is back, and I did what you told me.


I've got my core class : Core.as containing this

import myProjetPath.proxy.CommandManager;
class Core
{
private var oCM:CommandManager
   [...]
   function Core()
   {
  this.oCM = new CommandManager(this);
   }
}

so You've seen that CommandManager is linked by the private var oCM

in my fla, in the root timeline, I've written:
import myProjectPath.Core;
var oCore:Core = new Core();

and I tried to call a public method AddEvent in the CommandManager 
like this:

_root.oCore.oCM.AddEvent(oParams);
and it worked, even if oCM is private !!! It should not accept this line!
why does it work please?
You've told me that my oCore prop wasn't typed because it was formerly 
_root.oCore = new Core(), but now I've typed it...

 What does a dollar sign do at the beginning of a variable in Flash?
 Anything? like Stage.$blah = rar;

It's legal, and benign, to prefix identifiers with '$'.

I use it in my code to identify the scope of a variable -- either
_global
or class-specific (private). I find it useful to hang a '$_' prefix on
variables within a certain scope, not only to distinguish them a
little,
but to make it easier to do certain things that utilize them, like
create
accessor methods without having to invent a completely new name.

example:

private var $_someVariable:String;

public function get someVariable():String {
  return $_someVariable;
}

public function set someVariable(value:String):Void{
  $_someVariable = value;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Track key up event for simultaneously pressed keys

2006-01-12 Thread GregoryN

Michael,

The only way I can suggest at the moment is onEnterFrame/interval
function checking which keys are still pressed.
When key is pressed (onKeyDown), you can write it's name/code into
array and check just this array later.
There's a nice Guy Watson's code at proto.layer51.com that Returns
the last key pressed.

Thanks for your answer, Ramon.

I was thinking of writing such class myself...
But, in fact, I need some different solution rather than superb loading
queue :-).

Maybe I'll try to delete sound object which is downloading the mp3
track, - what do you think ?
Yes, it's the most common case in this project: some music is
downloading and this prevents/slow loading more imp't content.
Ideally, I'd like to cancel loading music in this case.

 I made this SupreLoader class that loads different files that are

 It can be told to halt() when the downloading should be stopped (like
 you need to download something more imp't).  However, telling it to
 stop for everything you want to prioritize, then telling it to
 continue when ur done downloading is rather tedious.  Furthermore, you
 cannot stop a download that has already started (save for closing the
 flash movie) - so the SupreLoader will only not continue downloading
 the next item in the queue.
 
 I tried to make it automatic, but unfortunately, there is no way to
 find out if you wish to remain within Flash.  Outside of Flash, I
 wouldn't know.

[Flashcoders] Flash Lite 2.0 phone list

2006-01-12 Thread Joe Cutting

Well I've installed the Flash Lite 2.0 and one of the more 
interesting parts is the long list
of possible Test Devices. Now it shows you the Nokia ones which are 
on the website,
but greyed out there are also about 15 different phone manufacturers 
and a long list of phones, including
even some extra Nokia ones. Presumably this is a list of all the 
existing Symbian phones.


Now as far as I can see this list could be

- All the phones that could be supported using the current technology 
once distribution deals

with the manufacturers are sorted out

- All the phones that the current player will run on once the current 
testing period

is over.

- All the phones that the Flash Lite 2.0 player could be ported to if 
someone pays

Macrobe to do it.

Which of these applies will make a big difference to the speed of adoption - if
the current player will be released for all these models in a few months then
this could become quite big pretty quickly - otherwise its going to 
take a while.


Can anyone shed any light on this?

Cheers

Joe

Re: [Flashcoders] TreeDataProvider - There is no method with thename'addTreeNode'

I warned you it ight fail silently with a cast (a failed cast always returns
a null) . the cleanest sollution is to extend xmlNode implement that
interface and proxy those methods defined on the interface to the xmlNode
methods. this might seem like a fair bit more work, but down the line it
makes your code much more maintainable. if you want quicker compilation
times use mtasc -keep, but doing things right is a good habit to get into.

 Sounds great, but I still don't get it to work - no compiler error, but

 no node added:

 var myTreeDP  = new XML();
 myTreeDP.addTreeNode(node, 0);
 trace('untyped '+myTreeDP);
 }
 }

 Output:

[Flashcoders] List Components, matrix data, and object properties

2006-01-12 Thread Lance Massey

I create a playlist which is an array of tracks. Each track has a  
title, an id, an artist, and a URL. Magically, when I set my List  
Component's dataProvider to playlist, it shows all the titles. But  
the real miracle is that when I click on a title all the track  
properties corresponding to that title are available.


Does this means the List component holds 2D data (I thought is was a  
list only)? And is it safe to assume this is not anomalous behavior,  
but something I can count on for the future (because this *really*  
makes life much easier)?

Re: FW: [Flashcoders] Multi Color Gradient

2006-01-12 Thread Steve Felt

I just went through this. Here's my code. It's a function that accesses
a stylesheet, so it's got a little more than you need, but I hope it
will help:


function initDrawBg(theTarg)
{
var gradient_color_1 =
convertColor(_root.defaultStyleSheet.getStyle('.gradient_color_1').color);
var gradient_color_2 =
convertColor(_root.defaultStyleSheet.getStyle('.gradient_color_2').color);
var gradient_color_3 =
convertColor(_root.defaultStyleSheet.getStyle('.gradient_color_3').color);

theTarg.beginGradientFill(
// gradient type, radial or linear
linear,

// colors, hex
//[0xff,0x00ff00,0xff],
[gradient_color_1,gradient_color_2,gradient_color_3],

// alphas (0-100 100 == opaque)
[100,100,100],

// ratios (location from 0 to 255, in hex
[0x00,0x80,0xff],

// matrix controlling gradient location, size, and rotation (in
radians)
{ matrixType:box, x:-50, y:0, w:750, h:575, r: 1.9 }
);

// draw the bounding box
theTarg.moveTo(0,0);
theTarg.lineTo(750,0);
theTarg.lineTo(750,575);
theTarg.lineTo(0,575);
theTarg.lineTo(0,0);
}

// take a string like #ffcc00
// convert it to hex  0xffcc00
function convertColor(color)
{
return Number(0x + color.substring(1));
}


Hope this helps,

I don't use the List component that much, but I'd imagine it is the same
functionality as the DataGrid... Each row is an object with a bunch of
properties, but only the properties that there are columns for get
displayed.

I create a playlist which is an array of tracks. Each track has a  
title, an id, an artist, and a URL. Magically, when I set my List  
Component's dataProvider to playlist, it shows all the titles. But  
the real miracle is that when I click on a title all the track  
properties corresponding to that title are available.

Does this means the List component holds 2D data (I thought is was a  
list only)? And is it safe to assume this is not anomalous behavior,  
but something I can count on for the future (because this *really*  
makes life much easier)?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Lite 2.0 phone list

2006-01-12 Thread Nick Gerig



The majority of Non-Nokia devices listed are Japanese handsets with 
FL1.1 or FL1.0 preinstalled.





- All the phones that could be supported using the current technology 
once distribution deals

with the manufacturers are sorted out



No - any phones there are because the deals have already been done



- All the phones that the current player will run on once the current 
testing period

is over.

I assumed  FL2.0 is final and only  the IDE extension is pre-release 
software


- All the phones that the Flash Lite 2.0 player could be ported to if 
someone pays

Macrobe to do it.



FL2.0 could be ported to literally any phone if someone pays :)



Which of these applies will make a big difference to the speed of 
adoption - if
the current player will be released for all these models in a few 
months then
this could become quite big pretty quickly - otherwise its going to 
take a while.




The issue currently is that is that although there is a long list of 
Nokias that FL will run on, will a player ever be distributed for those 
phones? The short answer is that unless the old MM policy has changed 
with Adobe - NO! Nokia will distribute the FL player in its emerging 
handsets, in fact it has already started in Asia with the N90, most 
probably worldwide with the N91 this month. But the older Nokia's will 
never get a FL player unless someone pays for it. IMHO this is a massive 
hit that only the developer community and consumers take, even if it 
does also have a slight impact on the growth of the FL content market 
which is still pretty immature outside Japan. The only situation where 
older Nokias will get FL2 is where a service provide/operator decides to 
license the player for its customers with existing Nokia handsets, 
however that is not necessarily a smooth process because each player is 
IMEI tied and therefore cumbersome to deliver OTA.


Hope that helps a little.



cheers


Nick

Re: SV: SV: [Flashcoders] flash 8 security hint

2006-01-12 Thread clark slater

Hi Cedric,

I recently had the same problem and the reason was because I was using the
IP (hidden in the html object tag) to launch the app from the server, but
the domain name to load the other SWF - so the security sandbox considered
this a different domain of course.

This happened because the domain name DNS was not propagated when the client
asked us to begin development, but some time after the domain was
working...and the domain was being used in an absolute path in one SWF.

You might need to scope things differently and build an engine in the loaded
SWF to capture events from the outside.

Also, there is a .content or .contentPath or something that serves as a
reference to the item loaded into the pane...

In fact, you can manually add extra (invisible) data to each row. It  
makes for an excellent container UI. No need to store the extra  
information in external parallel arrays or objects.

RE: [Flashcoders] Using flex component in a Flash project

2006-01-12 Thread Merrill, Jason

As far as I know:

If you mean Flex 1, legally speaking, I don't think licensing would
allow you to unless deployed to a location where you have a license.
You can work out the legal details over the phone - the sales people are
pretty good and very responsive.  Technically, the Flex server will
produce .swf files which you can copy elsewhere and use.

If you mean Flexbuilder 2, it produces .swf files for you.
