[Flashcoders] please help - exceptions and null format can't be interpreted in webservice
Hi list I've asked on friday but nobody answered. I can't get finding explaination please help. I use the Webservice classes to connect to a java webservice server, and now it works, but I still have 2 problems in interpreting the server response: - the exceptions throwed by the server aren't translated in flash exceptions, so my catch commands aren't called. I only have a Unable to connect to endpoint Log Fault, as if the received xml contains the good information... - when I want to send a null value, flash doesn't write the xsi:null value in the thrown xml, so the server receives an error. The java developper told me that this xsi:null is the only standard way to send a null via webservice and I don't know what to do, as I use the native Webservice class. thx for helping me PR ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] AS3 - FP9 - Flex2 - Flash9
Just a curious question, Does any one know or have opinions on how Adobe is going to integrate AS3 into Flash ? Put another way, I can build AS3 components in Flex builder 2, view using the Flash player 8.5, and not use the Flex framework at all. What is the time frame of Flash Player 9, and Flash 9 verses the final release projected release of Flex Builder 2. Do you think they are going to be released around the same time because AS3 requires the new player's vm? Seems to me, a lot of component devs might be using Flex builder 2 as a compiler for Flash level components and not hook into the Flex Framework on the basis of licensing issues and legal stuff. Although an intriguing thought is, I can develop as3 components that will work with Flash 9 AND Flex 2 because I have the flex 2 interface API. Knowing also how to build Flex2 components snap flash's right into it, two for one kind of thing. Ramble.. any thoughts ? ;-) Peace, Mike ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Flash website statistics
Hi, I'm looking for something that can generate clean Flash site statistics. Currently, we're using the stats package the hosting company provides, but its output is not especially practical. Our websites are generally built around a central canvas.swf file that loads all the pages as swf files. We can see those as downloaded files in the stats interface, but any querystring parameters are omitted, which is a bit annoying. Being able to track screen resolution would also be nice. With existing stats packages, we can only track screen resolution by including some special gif in the main page or something, which isn't particularly handy, especially since that could all be detected from within Flash, together with a whole load of other useful information like available microphone, webcam, etc. I've thought about building our own simple stats system using a database call through PHP each time a new page is loaded, but I'm afraid it might put too much of a burden on the database. Has anyone got any experience with something like this? Kind regards, -- Toon Van de Putte ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] getting the name of an object
That's right. _name is a property of a movieclip object which is set the time you create and instance of a movieclip. When creating a generic object, it doens't have a _name or name property, unless you give it one. So, you could do this: var fooObj:Object = new Object(); fooObj.name = // whatever But as Danny said, the variable that holds the object has absolutely nothing to do with the name of the object. That goes the same for movieclips. You can do: var mc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(myClip, 100); var movie:MovieClip = _root.myClip; var clip:MovieClip = mc; All three variables refer to the same movieclip object. Which is the name of the movieclip? Is it mc, movie, clip or myClip? It's the last one, myClip, because you set it when creating the instance in the first place. No matter which variable holds a reference of the movieclip object, it doesn't affect the name property of the movieclip. I hope this helps.

There is no one variable holding the name of an object. If your idea
is something along a trace-function:
function trace(o:Object):String {
// return name of object here
}
trace(foo_object);
Then one could argue, that both foo_object and o would be proper
names of the variable holding the object - as there is many references.
Couldn't you rather explain, what you were trying to accomplish - then
maybe we could understand and help?

If you have a weakness for kludgy solutions, try the 'getObjNames' function

Otherwise: don't 'forget' the names of the objects: store the name in the
same object, as an additional property.
// 'don't try this at home!'
a = {someProp:'someValue'};
b = {someProp:'someOtherValue'};
c = a;
arr = [a, b];
// later, when we have 'forgotten' the names of the objects
for(var i=0, len=arr.length; ilen; i++){
trace(getObjNames(arr[i]) + ' - someProp: '+ arr[i].someProp);
// Output: c,a - someProp: someValue
// b - someProp: someOtherValue
}
// kludgy, poorly tested and a waste of processor cycles
function getObjNames(o:Object, timeline:MovieClip){
var names:Array;
var o2 = arguments[1] ? arguments[1] : _level0;

Re: [Flashcoders] getting the name of an object
Andreas,
Just sight-reading the code rather than testing it - shouldn't there be a
=== or !== in there somewhere to make sure you're talking about _exactly_
the same object rather than one which just has the same value..?

Subject: [Flashcoders] getting the name of an object
hi,
this might be obvious but how do I get the name of an object? If I got an
object named fooObj how can I get Flash to for example trace out the name
of
the object, so that it traces fooObj? I know this works with movieclips
but how about objects or arrays?

Re: [Flashcoders] Font Preview In ComboBox
Rishi, There is such a thing as 'unreasonable requirements', you know. :-D Could you break down the font list, and present it to the user in sections? For example, Handwriting Fonts, Electronic Fonts or something - or even A-D, E-F etc. Then at least you could load the previews in smaller chunks as required. Does it truly have to be live preview (i.e. does it have to match text that the user has entered) or could you convert the text to curves and load each preview as a graphic instead? It'll make the loading of the preview a lot faster if it's a graphic rather than a full font. But there'd be a lot of (possibly manual) work to do up front creating the font previews. Sounds like you've set yourselves a very difficult challenge... (or rather, sounds like your bosses have. :-) ) The other thought that occurs - could you start off with all the fonts in the ComboBox in a 'neutral' font (perhaps greyed out) and update the actual preview with the correct font as it loads?

Before I stand behind this statement though I would like to verify that I am interpreting this correctly. Can someone point me to some more resources that would state which benefits of the Flash 8 player would need me to republish a file and which one my older files would get just by being played in the newer player.

Re: [Flashcoders] Benefits of Flash 7 published file viewed in Flash 8player (?)

In order to get the benefit of the best looking font would we need to republish these files from the Flash 8 IDE? The equivalent in Flash 8 for text on Flash 7- is Anti-alias for animation (that is, simple mathematical antialias, with no threshold control). If you used the anti-alias off option on Flash 7 (checking the bitmap text button), it's featured on Flash 8 as the Bitmap text (no anti-alias) option. In order to benefit from the new rendering capabilities, you have to open your Flash 7- movies, change the textfield to Anti-alias for readability, and republish them as Flash 8 SWF files. Secondly, s far as performance goes- from my interpretation of the way the garbage collection works in the Flash 8 player I should get the performance benefits without having to recompile swfs published in previous players. Before I stand behind this statement though I would like to verify that I am interpreting this correctly. I believe you are correct, although I don't have any link/article to back me up on this. Can someone point me to some more resources that would state which benefits of the Flash 8 player would need me to republish a file and which one my older files would get just by being played in the newer player. A 'republish' by itself won't do anything for you. What will change the way your movie behaves, however, is whether or not you publish it to Flash 8. Unless you do so, you won't actually benefit from new features (such as text rendering). Sure, the player is faster and manages memory better, but other than that, there's no additional feature to be used by native Flash 7- SWF movies. Also, other features will only benefit you if you're willing to change something on your movie. For example, the text rendering is quite easy to change (just change the option on the drop box) and the better results can be astonishing at times; however, some other good features such as blending modes, effect usage, jpg/png/gif loading or bitmap manipulation won't do you anything unless you actually use it. Personally, I don't see much reason to change and republish old stuff, unless it's for the text rendering. - zeh ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Good question...
In my understanding - i.e. please correct me if I'm wrong! - when
testing objects for equality the simple and the strict equality operator
are completely interchangeable.
We are not comparing values, which can be of different types (and thus
provoke 'false positives' with the simple equality operator), but
references, which have a simple, 'binary' quality: either they do point
at the same place in memory or they don't.
And two objects - by definition? - always occupy two distinct locations
in memory, completely independent of wether they are of the same type
and contain the same values.
trace({} == {});// output: false
That's why I think that when testing objects for equality, the simple
and the strict oprator will always return the same result.

Re: [Flashcoders] getting the name of an object
For the reasons given by Danny et al, you could never have a myObj.getString() such as you describe... other than possibly for debugging purposes, I'm at a loss to work out why it'd be useful?

Re: SPAM-LOW: [Flashcoders] Flash8 Tree Gurus
Hi Derek, Thanks for your thoughts. My situation is that I have two Trees that are populated by the same XML data. What I would like to do is : When the user selects a node on Tree1, the same node in Tree2 is selected. How would one do this do you think. Tim On 1/23/06, Derek Vadneau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You are getting the display index and then trying to get a node based on that index. That won't work like you expect. The display index refers to the nodes position VISUALLY in the tree. This may have nothing to do with the nodes' position in the XML. If you have this in a tree: Folder 1 (open branch) - Item 1 (leaf) - Item 2 (leaf) Folder 2 (closed branch) Folder 3 (open branch) - Item 1 (leaf) - Item 2 (leaf) The display index of the Folder 3 Item 1 node is 5. Yet if you tried to get the node at 5 (i.e. tree.getTreeNodeAt(5)) it would return undefined, since there is no node at index 5 of the tree. When you say tree.getTreeNodeAt(index), the index refers to the childNodes array of the tree. Does that help?

[Flashcoders] Transitions question
Hi all!
I have a little bug with the transitions class!
I want to be notified when IN and OUT transitions are done so I
instanciate my transition manager as follow at the beggining of my script:
import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myTransitionManager:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(clip1_mc);
myListenerTransition.allTransitionsOutDone = function(eventObj:Object) {
trace(allTransitionsOutDone);
//other important code...
}
myListenerTransition.allTransitionsInDone = function(eventObj:Object) {
trace(allTransitionsInDone);
//other important code...
}
myTransitionManager.addEventListener(allTransitionsOutDone,myListenerTransition);
myTransitionManager.addEventListener(allTransitionsInDone,myListenerTransition);
//
On a button, I call a function to activate a particular transition :
myTransitionManager.startTransition({type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN,
duration:2, easing:None.easeNone});
And at the end my listener outputs my message : Everything works OK for now!
My problem is if I change the transition type... no transition occurs
(my movieclip is no more visible) but at the end my listener outputs OK!?!
It seems that I can only use basic transitions, no Fly, Iris, Photo,
Zoom or PixelDissolve works...
If I use a new transition manager inside my function, the new transition
works fine but my listener is never called!
like : mx.transitions.TransitionManager.start(clip1_mc,
{type:mx.transitions.Zoom, direction:mx.transitions.Transition.IN,
duration:1, easing:mx.transitions.easing.Bounce.easeOut});
How can I have the best of both worlds : any transition types and
listener objects?
(I to Flash 8 actionscript 2 on a winXP PC.)
Thanks a million!

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash8 Tree Gurus -- Lines in Tree
Yeah, actually, I JUST worked this out for Xray last night during the
playoffs (GO STEELERS!!!)
what you have to do is use appendChild() of the XMLNode object.
Here's the code I'm using, hopefully, you can pick up what I'm doing from
this snippet:
// first, close the node if it's showing. For some reason,
// closing first, then opening it after you add the children
// makes it work more smoothly
tree.setIsOpen(tree.getNodeDisplayedAt(indexClicked), false);
// grab the XMLNode to appendChild to
var parentXML = tree.getNodeDisplayedAt(indexClicked);
// XMLChild is XML sent in that has several children to add
// We have to loop through them all and see if they already
// exist.
for(var i:Number=0;iXMLChild.childNodes.length;i++)
{
// if you don't clone the node, it'll be taken from your current
XMLChild and
// your loop will fail since it keeps getting smaller. The node
// is actually moved when you use appendChild.
var addedNode:XMLNode = XMLChild.childNodes[i].cloneNode(true);
// set exists flag
var exists:Boolean = false;
for(var j:Number=0;jparentXML.childNodes.length;j++)
{
// match an attribute you would consider to be unique
if(parentXML.childNodes[j].attributes.mc == addedNode.attributes.mc)
{
// if you find a match, break loop
exists = true;
break;
}
}
if(!exists)
{
// if you didnt' find a match, call appendChild()
parentXML.appendChild(addedNode);
// when I generate my XMLChild that comes in,
// I asses whether or not the child has children of it's own.
// If it DOES, then setIsBranch will give the node an arrow
if(addedNode.attributes.isBranch == true) tree.setIsBranch(addedNode,
true)
}
}
// re-open node
tree.setIsOpen(parentXML, true);
hth,
John

[Flashcoders] Considering player performance, Strings or Arrays?
Hi there, The application must store many numbers, then transfer this data to a database via Flash Remoting.

Which type would be quicker transfering to the webservice? Regardless of how the data gets to the webservice, I will store it as a comma delimited string of numbers.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash8 Tree Gurus -- Lines in Tree
If one could get the Flash8 tree to do the lines then it would be better than that javascript tree since it doesn't work in Safari. However, would it be possible for the Flash tree to diplay the lines like that of the javascript tree. If it is possible, how would that be achieved. BTW, just wondering, wouldn't it make sense for the flash tree to have the line options be a part of the default tree?

Hi Toon, You can use Google Analytics to track Flash events: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=27243topic=7288 You'll need to embed a piece of Javascript into your page and then your SWF can call a tracking function (via getURL) with whatever data it wants. best, - rajat On 1/23/06, Toon Van de Putte [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm looking for something that can generate clean Flash site statistics. Currently, we're using the stats package the hosting company provides, but its output is not especially practical. Our websites are generally built around a central canvas.swf file that loads all the pages as swf files. We can see those as downloaded files in the stats interface, but any querystring parameters are omitted, which is a bit annoying. Being able to track screen resolution would also be nice. With existing stats packages, we can only track screen resolution by including some special gif in the main page or something, which isn't particularly handy, especially since that could all be detected from within Flash, together with a whole load of other useful information like available microphone, webcam, etc. I've thought about building our own simple stats system using a database call through PHP each time a new page is loaded, but I'm afraid it might put too much of a burden on the database.
