Re: [Flashcoders] Stage.width not working in IE

2006-02-12 Thread John Giotta
Perhaps Lanny's suggestion will work, but may not work with a single frame SWF.
The problem resides in how the Flash Player is initiatated on first
render. Basically the ActionScript is being interpreted faster than
the visuals are rendered (which includes the scene).

I've gotten to understand this and I have adopted a way of
initializing all the Stage parameters first then initializing the
elements. And lastly, I actually call the onResize method for good
measure because in some instances first render does not trigger a
resize event.

even in a single frame movie onEnterframe is called repeatedly, thus
allowing you to do as lanny suggests.
look for a function called doLater

[Flashcoders] Jabber - XIFF Dreamhost

2006-02-12 Thread JesterXL
Anyone gotten the Jive Software XIFF classes to work with the jabber servers 
at Dreamhost?

I went to the admin panel, setup a user, waited for it to get approved, but 
although the XMLSocket connects, I just get a sent in the trace panel, even 
when adding my own traces to the classes.  Jabber.org/echo actually spit 
back that my XML was malformed... not a good sign.  I'm aware Jivesoftware 
has forums, but I have more faith in this list than I do after reading just 
1 page of those forums.

[Flashcoders] Q: Referencing a class method from a _parent MovieClip reference

2006-02-12 Thread bitstreams
Hi
having what I think is a scope issue I can't seem to resolve.


In one Class I have:
//::CODE BEGINS:

for(var n=0;n9;n++){
var mc=target.createEmptyMovieClip(+n,target.getNextHighestDepth());

c=new Cell(mc,1,cellwidth,api);

c.update()  //works!!
}
//::CODE ENDS:


later on in the same class I need to call the 'update' method of my 'Cell' 
class but only
on certain instances... of the container Movieclip(s) that the Cell class was 
instantiated inside.

(mc would represent a reference to the container Movieclip for my Cell class)
mc.c.update()  //obviously doesn't work 

I think I have to somehow point a method of my container Movieclip to the Class 
method

Does this make any sense?
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

2006-02-12 Thread bitstreams
Well
solved  I think...

Instead of 'createEmptyMovieClip' I'm using attachMovie with an initbj that 
references the correct class
//CODE BEGIN:::
var initObj:Object = {creatorRef:c};
var mc=target.attachMovie(mc_blank,+n,target.getNextHighestDepth(),initObj);
//CODE ENDS:::


later on  just call 'mc.creatorRef.classmethod'

And of course, the only answer anyone can give is it depends. Try to 
estimate how many hours it will take you to do the job -- then pad it, 
because no job is ever as easy as it looks. Then just multiply that by 
your hourly rate. What is a good hourly rate, you may ask? That 
depends on the cost of living in your area, the prices charged by your 
competitors, your own skill, and your chutzpah.


Nobody here can tell you anything better.

Re: [Flashcoders] How much do you charge for a Flash application?

2006-02-12 Thread Ron Wheeler

Figure out how long it is going to take.

Often it makes sense to have a 2 (or more) stage process - 
requirements/design then implementation.


This protects both you and the client.
The client knows what he is going to get and how much it will cost - you 
know what work you actually have to do.
You still have to estimate the first phase based on less than a complete 
story but at least you are not jumping into the unknown for a big amount.


Rates depend on where you live and what people make who do this sort of 
work.


If you need to make $70,000 per year in order to own a car and a house 
and eat fairly regularly, you have to change more than someone who can 
live very well on $20,000 per year. If you think that you can move from 
Indonesia to New York City and charge the same rates, you will be in for 
lots of surprises.


Sometimes your rates also depend on your relation to the customer and 
how much extra they are willing to pay to deal with someone that they 
know and trust; someone who understands their needs can save them a lot 
of their time in a complex project.

Some important points to be considered:
1. this is my 1st *commercial* AMFPHP project
2. I used to charge : $1500 - $2000 for PHP dynamic sites, $500 - 
$1500 for Flash sites/CDROMs, $500 - $1000 for static CSS-P websites
3. he also wants to have a Dashboard for viewing critical business 
statistics


Based on my rates above, how much should I charge him for an AMFPHP 
application?

Re: [Flashcoders] addEventListener - MovieClip wants to pass event to containing class

2006-02-12 Thread Moses Gunesch

Steve -

Yes there are 2 things available for this. MM added that  
functionality in some event classes that are pretty much undocumented  
and a little tough to learn - UIEventDispatcher and LowLevelEvents.


Secondly, I wrote a class called CallbackDispatcher that makes it  
really easy to use events to scope simple callbacks wherever you  
want. It's available free at my website and includes a comparison   
example of the MM system.


You can specify an event prefix like evt_ then name your events  
like evt_onRollOver, or use Delegates as shown here, to route any  
built-in MC, Button, or TextField callbacks to a uniquely named  
method. This really helps keep scoping mouse events tidy and also  
gives you an opportunity to group the events for some subset of nav  
elements into smartly named handlers, like handleNavEvent in this  
example which will do rollover/out and onpress actions - keeps your  
classes neat. (Again, the use of Delegate is entirely optional.)


var navDel:Function = Delegate.create(this, handleNavEvent);
CallbackDispatcher.initialize(mc);
mc.addEventListener ('onRollOver, onRollOut, onPress', navDel);

function handleNavEvent(o:Object) {
trace(o.target._name+'.'+o.type);
switch(o.type) {
// etc..
}
}

Hope that helps you out!

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieclipTween120.mxp from http://laco.wz.cz/tween/

2006-02-12 Thread Moses Gunesch
Static classes like Moses' one (the Fuse Kit) are the future of  
code-based tweening - zeh


Wow, thanks Zeh - it does mean a lot coming from you man! ;)

Mike and others - really, please don't use the deprecated Sequencer  
classes any more! Maybe I should take down those pages now that Fuse  
is mature. Believe me, Fuse is the new Sequencer. //Same thing, just  
better.// It's a simpler and more streamlined system built on a more  
efficient tween engine.


Also for people looking for laco's v120 (I wrote that version btw), I  
would strongly encourage you to write me offlist for Fuse 1.0, which  
contains the ZigoEngine class. This is the official update to  
Laco's work - he's asked me to carry on updating and distributing the  
engine for him.


Yes, this project is a work in progress and undergoing rapid  
improvements, but later this month a very solid, mature, stable  
release will cap things off. Fuse 1.1 is currently in Beta. It  
contains a ton of great new features like FuseFMP for easy  
BitmapFilter management  tweening.


Most importantly v1.1 is broken down into a new class structure that  
will enable developers to exclude Shortcuts and PennerEasing classes,  
for instance if they don't extend prototypes or prefer to use  
mx.transitions easing classes instead. Fuse 1.1 will also be useable  
as a standalone timed event-broacaster / method-call sequencer,  
without the use of a tween engine if that's what fits your project.  
Yet another configuration will enable the use of Fuse's object  
syntax with the ZigoEngine without importing the Fuse class. So it's  
entirely flexible and lets you include/exclude the features you want.  
(Plus it's a lot more efficient than v1.0.)


If you're interested in getting on the beta team for Fuse 1.1 please  
write me offlist. (about 100 people are currently testing it, and  
Fuse is now being used in over 50 countries around the world!) The  
Beta just requires a time commitment of several hours of feature and  
bug testing.


See you at FF Seattle,
- Moses

if you are adament to use flex 1.5 check this out

download the trial for flex 1.5, but instead of deploying to the webserver,
compile using the commandline compiler.

Re: [Flashcoders] Stage.width not working in IE

2006-02-12 Thread Lanny McNie
yeah, something like

onEnterFrame = function() {
  if (Stage.width  0) { doSomething(); }
}

On 2/12/06, Johannes Nel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 even in a single frame movie onEnterframe is called repeatedly, thus

 look for a function called doLater

  SWF.
  The problem resides in how the Flash Player is initiatated on first
  render. Basically the ActionScript is being interpreted faster than
  the visuals are rendered (which includes the scene).
 
  I've gotten to understand this and I have adopted a way of
  initializing all the Stage parameters first then initializing the
  elements. And lastly, I actually call the onResize method for good
  measure because in some instances first render does not trigger a
  resize event.

[Flashcoders] loadMovie not working over http

2006-02-12 Thread Justin Raymond
Hi all,

I have a loadMovie function attached to an empty movie clip. The movie
is only loaded in when I open the swf directly or view an HTM file in
which it is embedded locally. 

As soon as I open either the page or the swf over http:// the loaded
movie fails to load.

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] unSelectAll v2 List Component

2006-02-12 Thread Aaron Smith

Hey Keith!

I fyou look in the macromedia list classes( mx.controls.listclasses ). 
specifically the DataSelector.as class. There is a method called 
'clearSelected'. it's not in the docs anywhere because it's used 
internally. but you can use it. just call it like this 
list['clearSelected'](); using the brackets bypasses the macromedia 
compiler.


**
heres an example i tried::

on the stage make a list called my_list

then on an actions layer put this there:

import mx.utils.Delegate;
my_list.dataProvider = [Ground Shipping, 2nd Day Air, Next Day Air];
my_list.addEventListener('change', Delegate.create(this, onChange));

function onChange():Void
{
   my_list['clearSelected']();
}

**

now test publish it.. now anytime you select something in the list it 
will automatically deselect it. this will clear all selected items if 
multiple are selected also.

Re: [Flashcoders] unSelectAll v2 List Component

2006-02-12 Thread Aaron Smith

Hey Keith

Aaron again, Sorry I missed that you wanted to select a different index, 
the one that moved..:: heres how


**

put a list on the stage called my_list

then on actions put this:

import mx.utils.Delegate;
my_list.dataProvider = [Ground Shipping, 2nd Day Air, Next Day Air];
my_list.addEventListener('change', Delegate.create(this, onChange));

function onChange():Void
{
   my_list['selectRow'](2);
}

**

now anytime you select a row it will select the last row instead. So 
just use this method. This method is in 
mx.controls.listclass.ScrollSelectList.as. If you want it to dispatch a 
change event call it like this: my_list['selectRow'](2,true,true);..


this is a simple example, just use this method call in your situation

hope it helps

Aaron Smith

You might check out the archives of this list to learn more - it's been
discussed a good deal. The two most common ways are to use Sorenson Squeeze
with a watch folder or use FFMPEG.

Re: [Flashcoders] Browser back button, is it necessary?

2006-02-12 Thread Daniel Freeman
Is it even possible to disable it?  How do you do
that?  (Unless, you open a new window with no
controls).  Or is there some technique I don't know?
(JavaScript?)

The problem with the back button is that people are
very used to using it for navigating internet content.
 When I got non-technical people to test my Central
applications (in the Central environment, not the
browser) they would still ask Where's the back button?.

[Flashcoders] vardump an object in ActionScript?

2006-02-12 Thread Josh McDonald
Hi, I'm wondering if there's any way to just dump out all there is to
know about an object in ActionScript similar to PHP's vardump()? It's
easily done with for(foo in bar) in JS, but that doesn't seem to work.
 
Any pointers much appreciated :)

 Hey all,

 Just wondering if it is possible to make your background transparent. 
 Or do have you have to do an elaborate fake out, ninja style?

 thanks in advance

Re: [Flashcoders] vardump an object in ActionScript?

2006-02-12 Thread Grant Cox

Yeah, a for...in loop is what you want in Actionscript too.

However, to save you a few minutes, below is the function I use.

static function printr( object, depth ){
   if ( depth == undefined ) depth = 3;
   var depth_spacing:String = ;
  
   var string_rep:String = ;
  
   for ( var attrib in object ){

   var attrib_value:String = ;

   if ( depth  0  ( typeof( object[attrib] ) == object || 
typeof( object[attrib] ) == movieclip) ){

   attrib_value = printr( object[attrib], depth-1 );
  
   if ( attrib_value ==  ){

   attrib_value = [];
   if (object[attrib] instanceof Array){
   attrib_value = [empty Array];
   }
   }
  
   } else {

   attrib_value =  + object[attrib];
   }
  
   string_rep += \n + depth_spacing.substr(depth*2) + [  + 
attrib +  ]: + typeof(object[attrib]) +  =  + attrib_value;

   }
  
   return string_rep;

}
