Hi There, If you do figure out any useful solutions to the RTL issues, posting english translations of them would be much appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] FlashMattic -My Hebrew Flash Blog
thats's what I'm talking about. a full BIDI display algorithm. Out of interest, what is the UI when working with bidirectional? If you're using a bidirectional word processor, how do you switch from one to the other? Does it happen automatically when you change from one font to another? Or do you press a button to say which direction you're entering text? What happens to the cursor when you use the arrow keys to move left and right through the text? That is, suppose your text is (pretend the letters are in an rtl face) hgf 1234 edcba, when you are at the right and press the left button repeatedly, where does it end up after it passes the e? at 1 or at 4? How does selection work? This is likely to be an important issue for us soon, so any info would be helpful. Thanks Danny (Incidentally, for plain rtl, you can get good results just by using a mirrored font and then flipping all your text fields horizontally. Instant results with no fuss!) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Can't redefine class method
You probably have to cast the class - i know mtasc is super strict about
that.
Something like :
var b:B=B(this);
b.dothis();
hi Chris,
mtasc behaves the same.
i've had a look with flasm, it explicitly calls A.dothis() in A.doit.
writing this.dothis() isn't possible because it's a static function --
there is no object this could refer to.
there is, as far as i know, nothing you can do about it except to work
around it by either cutting'n'pasting doit from A, or using a
singleton instead.
instinctively, i would agree with you and expect B.dothis to get
called when i call B.doit, though.

That is exactly as I would expect. This is due to the fact, that static methods aren't inherited - they do not exist on instances. They only exist on the class itself. When you call a static method or refence a static variable, that path to the variable or method will be hardcoded in front of the name of the member and thus not change when subclassed. I would also expect this behaviour. Consider static methods as though they existed in a totally different class. If class A refenced a method of class C, then just because A was subclassed into B, B still refers to class C - what else should it do? -- Morten Barklund - Information Architect - Shockwaved Gothersgade 49, 4th floor - DK-1123 Copenhagen K, Denmark Phone: +45 7027 2227 - Fax: +45 3369 1174 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

know. See below:

Subject: [Flashcoders] Listener objects vs event handler functions ...
To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
If this is an example of the listener object approach:
myObj = new Object();
myObj.onMouseDown = myFunction;
function myFunction() {
trace(tracing something);
}
Mouse.addListener(myObj);
... and the listener object approach is favored over the event handler
function approach, what would the above code look like if it were
written
with the event handler function approach.
Where you can use one approach, can you always use the other ? (trying
to
understand the difference and where to use one instead of the other).
Apparently, the main reason the listener object approach is favored is
because multiple listener objects can receive events from the same
component/movieclip/etc. Does anyone have an example of this so I can
see
the advantage in action.
Thanks in advance for any assist,
Stephen.

Re: [Flashcoders] ComboBox not firing change event when selectedIndex set
use this instead (attach ur function to an object)

Listener_obj.change=function(evt:Object)
{
trace(new Selected Index=+evt.target.selectedIndex);
}
myCmb.addEventListener(change,Listener_obj);
myCmb.selectedIndex=2;
the reason behind this, is that you can attach more than an event listener
to that Listener_obj and finally in 1 line of code use it with the combobox.

Does not fire a change event. How do I detect when the combo box has
changed from code not from direct user interaction with the

seems completely stupid to me because the combobox WAS CHANGED so it
SHOULD
FIRE A CHANGE EVENT.

There are others that do the same thing, and any download accelerator program for Windows will also be able to download the file. I can block wget with just JavaScript ;) Fair enough, but then you also block all your regular visitors who have JavaScript disabled from accessing your SWF file. Anyway, ultimately the swf file will be loaded from somewhere (via physical file or script) and I can just point wget at that file instead. Safari's Activity window will show me all URLs loaded as part of the page, so I just just copy it from there. Obfuscation is the only way to protect your code, and even then I wouldn't consider it 'almost unbeatable'. I still think obfuscation is not the only way... I think we'll probably have to agree to disagree here. Since the Flash file *has* to be downloaded to the client for playback, it can be downloaded to the client for de-compiling. I wouldn't normally mind people protecting their own stuff using the methods you described, but when you're advising others it's important to make sure the advice you're giving out is sound. Either that, or tell people of the potential problems with your solution rather than just saying that it's 'almost unbeatable'.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Projects Visual Source Safe
Hi Kevin, The project setup in Flash MX 2004 and its VSS integration leave much to be desired. I personally would suggest that you look into using Eclipse with the VSS plugin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin/ ) for that to manage your Flash projects. You will need one of the ActionScript editor plugins for Eclipse as well. Check out either FDT ( http://www.powerflasher.com/fdt ) or the open source ASDT (http://asdt.org/). While setting these tools up may take a bit of time to figure out, in the end there are tremendous advantages to doing so. You get a better code editor than what comes with the Flash IDE, you are able to integrate with versioning systems like CVS, SVN, and VSS, you can get other plugins for other code editing like Java, PHP, etc..., integrating with a much faster compiler (MTASC) is relatively straight forward, and much more. Anyway, it's just a suggestion. I hope it helps. -Chris On 1/16/06, Fitzpatrick, Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Miles, Sorry I wasn't more specific, I am using MX 2004 Pro and the option isn't there.

[Flashcoders] Php data exchange worked in F7, breaks in F8
This is a case where data exchange works in Flash 7 but not in Flash 8. I've seen lots of articles on this, but they're either extremely complicated or don't quite seem applicable (in part due to my ignorance, I'm sure). Can someone please point me toward a specific fix? Please read on to understand the exact circumstances. I inherited a Flash site that exchanges data with an apache server via php, using sendReceive. In the swfs, users select features for a product and their order is placed in one of several vendor databases. Everything is on the same domain, but the vendor databases are on subdomains such as vendorA.acmeSales.com, vendorB.acmeSales.com, etc. My client and the vendor can access the data using a Flash to display the features the user selected. This worked in Flash 7, but Flash 8 will not exchange data with the database. Do I need cross-domain xml files on the server? If so, what and where? Do I need to set permissions in the Flash movies? If so, in just the root movie or in all loaded movies? Anything else? thanks, Marc Hoffman ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

I'm not familiar with the phrase lambda user, so I can only presume it means a non-technical user. But are those the people who you're concerned about? I think it's worthwhile to mention that you might have different goals and expectations with regard to obfuscation than others might. My point was simply that you can't guarantee that your Flash code can't be reverse-engineered. If you're willing to accept that limitation, you might want to implement all the things you mentioned.

Re: [Flashcoders] Scope Chain in AS2
basically in AS3 you dont need to use Delegate, so you can do things
like pass method references to other objects which will be called within
the correct scope. I think the same applies to declaring anonymous
functions (like the classic myXML.onLoad = function() {...})
e.g.
class SomeClass
{
private var x:Number = 20;
function someFunc():Void
{
// handlerFunc method will be called with the correct scope.
// So no need for delegate.
someObject.addEventListener(handlerFunc);
}
function handlerFunc(event:Event):Void
{
// Can call doSomething and manipulate x because we were called
// with the correct context.
this.doSomething();
this.x += 20;
}
function doSomething():Void
{
}
}
does that help? or have i misunderstood?

[Flashcoders] FLASH8 IDE BUG: Swf Panels
Hey Folks, I have this problem with my F8 IDE install which is driving me nuts. In the lower pane of the Window-Other Panels dialog I have several swfpanels I have developed along with the NetConnection Debugger. Every time I choose a panel, a completely random panel will open. Well not *completely* random, coz it's never the one I want! This same bug was in FMX2004, then seemed to get fixed in the 7.2 updater but it's most definitely back in F8. Seems like it's triggered by having the NetConnection Debugger present, because on my colleagues machines (who are designers hence no NetDebugger) they don't have this problem, though they do have several other swfPanels to choose from. Has anyone come across a way to fix this loopy issue? Cheers, Clark ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] Class Error Message
When are you looking for this to happen:
now = new Date();
trace (The Time is + formatTime(now));
If you want that to happen when you create a new instance of the class then
slap it in the constructor.
Also - you have an extra '}' in there at the end.

Re: [Flashcoders] Class Error Message
Hi Chris
At the end of your code you have this now = new Date(); outside any method
so flash doesn't know what to make with.
Those 2 lines
now = new Date();
trace (The Time is + formatTime(now));
seem to be here to test your formatTime method, but it has to be in
flash, not in the class, if you keep this format.
Or you can also integrate it to your constructor:
public function Hello(target:MovieClip) {
container_mc = target.createEmptyMovieClip(blah, 1);
placeGreeting();
var now:Date = new Date();
trace (The Time is + this.formatTime(now));
}

[Flashcoders] OnLoadStart
Hi,
I have a bug with the movieClipLoader onLoadStart function when I'm loading
swf videos that are not on the same domain.
I'm using the onLoadStart function to stop the video like this :
mclListener.onLoadStart = Delegate.create(this,videoLoadStart);
private function videoLoadStart(target_mc:MovieClip):Void{
target_mc.stop();
}
It works perfectly with swf on the same domain, the bug happens only when I
am loading swf from another domain. The video loads, but doesn't stop like
it should, it just plays normally.

Well, depending what Patrick is trying to do. onLoadInit would not work. onLoadInit is fired when the loaded contents first frame is played. onLoadInit is actually fired after the onLoadComplete event. onLoadStart is fired right after you call the MovieClipLoader.loadClip() method. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] efficient htmltext.reduce() function? or similar idea?
Does anyone have any divine wisdom for safely and efficiently reducing an htmltext string down in size? I've been using old code for a while that simply loops looking for html tags.. and if it's a known paired tag set (like font), looks for the closing tag, and then, substring's from that point onward (thus removing everything ahead of the last complete tag set), and effectively reducing the overall size of the htmltext so that it doesn't forever build in size, and in turn bring flash to its knees if the string gets too long. The problem with this is its slow... and risky.. sometimes.. it fails to match a paired set.. and the output into the flash textbox breaks -- that is -- no more appended text will be seen from that point onward.. and the box appears Dead because of broken tags. Ideally for me at least.. a function could be called such as: myHtmlTextBox=myHtmlTextBox.reduce(10); whereby 10 is used such that the result has about 90% remaining (which is obviously a challenge because of the variable lengths of tag groupings among formatted html..) Any ideas? This is a hard topic to google and search the archives with..

If what you are saying true, then calling a class method of class that is only defined in the parent will fail. I'm seeing that it works, at least it works for me. I would also expect this behaviour. Consider static methods as though they existed in a totally different class. If class A refenced a method of class C, then just because A was subclassed into B, B still refers to class C - what else should it do?

RE: [Flashcoders] Obfuscation
I'm not familiar with the phrase lambda user, so I can only presume it means a non-technical user. Yes indeed But are those the people who you're concerned about? I think it's worthwhile to mention that you might have different goals and expectations with regard to obfuscation than others might. My point was simply that you can't guarantee that your Flash code can't be reverse-engineered. I don't think I said something different with you will never obtain 100% code protection Here for example a goal you can not reach with obfuscation: - you have an online game in flash Goal: you want to avoid to have your SWF copied all around on different site Here the obfuscation will be not really usefull If you're willing to accept that limitation, you might want to implement all the things you mentioned. But that's still a very big limitation. There are certain things that, for security reasons, you simply wouldn't want to do within your Flash code for this reason - shopping cart engine functionality comes to mind. You wouldn't want your server-side application to blindly accept inputs from Flash for obvious reasons. Humm but this is a different thing You got the security of the source code, the SWF, etc... And You got the security of your application And this, the SWF being accessible or not, Being decompiled or not You can secure it using data encryption Dumb exemple: User login on his shopping cart The flash can have a MD5 Function to hash its password before sending it to the server etc. an external attacker can access as much as he want the MD5 hash function code, this will not break the security of the hash. The weakness in a hash function is the hash function algorithm itself, Not the fact that you can access its implementation in code. ( and yes I know MD5 is broken, and few others too, cf http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/cryptanalysis_o.html ) zwetan ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] Obfuscation
Personaly I think that if someone can bypass the obfuscation, (not jump tricks but *real* obfuscation by variable renaming/hashing - see http://tech.motion-twin.com/obfu ) then there is no need for additional protections because the user is motivated enough to bypass them as well. Yes but who knows in which order the user gonna try to bypass the protection(s) ? I think that you need to protect from two things : a) internal attacks, by obfuscating the SWF b) external attacks, by obfuscating the protocol This is not *real* security - it should just be called tricks to get rid of people without enough free time or technical background. Yep And to get back on topic here a little list of papers for these kind of tricks - JAurora http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~oord/ see the paper Stealthy obfuscation techniques misleading the pirates - Gleb's Naumovich's publications http://cis.poly.edu/gnaumovi/publications.html some interesting papers as Obfuscation of Design Intent in Object-Oriented Applications Preventing Piracy, Reverse Engineering, and Tampering - Christian Collberg, Clark Thomborson, Douglas Low http://www.cs.arizona.edu/~collberg/Research/Publications/CollbergThomborson Low98a/ Manufacturing Cheap, Resilient, and Stealthy Opaque Constructs zwetan ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] OnLoadStart
The movie starts playing before onLoadInit is fired.
The bug with onLoadStart happens only when loading swf from another domain.

I've experienced this bug as well and have not found a solution. Have you

Subject: [Flashcoders] OnLoadStart
Hi,
I have a bug with the movieClipLoader onLoadStart function when I'm loading
swf videos that are not on the same domain.
I'm using the onLoadStart function to stop the video like this :
mclListener.onLoadStart = Delegate.create(this,videoLoadStart);
private function videoLoadStart(target_mc:MovieClip):Void{
target_mc.stop();
}
It works perfectly with swf on the same domain, the bug happens only when I
am loading swf from another domain. The video loads, but doesn't stop like
it should, it just plays normally.

[Flashcoders] embed SWF with PHP
Hey does anyone know how to embed a swf into a page using php. I'm basically trying to find a way to hide the swfs url from the user so that it can't be saved (I'll have to stop it from caching also.) I've seen it done before on thi site. www.mx3d.com. Theres basically a php script that writes the name of the swf and when you load php page directly you are presented with the swf but when you view the source it gives you some bytecode. It looks like a pretty safe way from preventing anyone getting to your swf in the first place ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
