RE: [Flashcoders] FF Seattle Report
Sounds like you havent really come across a project that needs a flex solution rather than a flash solution. Flex is a great tool for fairly specific implementations (RIA's, dashboards, etc etc), whereas flash is more general (but that comes at a price in terms of dev time). And circa $1000 dollars is a lot less than $15000 per cpu, as per flex 1.5. thats why its classed as 'cheap'. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andreas Rønning Sent: 06 March 2006 13:24 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] FF Seattle Report The point is Flex is a completely separate technology Adobe are actively pushing forward, and they're trying to get me in on it by teasing me with a preview of AS3 ;P Conspiracy!

All i see is further separation of the individual solutions Adobe got a hold of with Macromedia, separations that were problematic to begin with. Macromedia always had too many onions in the soup, and it looks like that's just going to get worse. PDF online is a total aberration now as it has always been; it's forte is in print content, not online content, and every time i inadvertently hit a link that brings up the Acrobat plugin, you can hear my groan blocks away. I don't see the Acrobat relevance online tell you the truth (someone, please correct me here if i'm totally missing the boat on some important topic). What you just described is precisely what i thought it'd be: Flash keeps its footing as an animation platform with an anchor in the fast and the frivolous, Flex takes what was getting good about AS and implements it in a retardedly expensive solution that is of little interest to a whole bunch of us. What i'd really like to see from an event like that, aside from whizbang and promises, is an indication that Macromedia didn't completely lose the plot when they were acquired. At the moment, they're one of the toughest businesses to like out there, mostly because of an inability to say ONE thing and subsequently stand for it. Employees are lovely, but whoever makes the big decisions are freaking me out. The idea of an Adobe/MM OS brings such immense and immediate terror to my imagination that i'm not going to say anything else about that topic. Ever, hopefully. I feel ever so slightly pistol-whipped by the sudden effort to push Flex forward, leaving Flash in the dust. I assume this is some kind of intercept vector of Sparkle or the growing interest in AJAX. In fact, i'm so sore i'm going to rant a little bit. Pardon any french in the following psycho-babble: I am a very hard working man. I put 9 to 12 hours into Flash every day of the week. By Flash i mean animation, actionscript, flashcom and audio work. I always work with concrete solutions in mind, and with concrete budgets and concrete timespans. I have very little time for dabbling, exploration or otherwise advancing myself along paths my work doesn't naturally take me. FlashCoders, this list, was fine and dandy up until Flex2, because i felt as though the focus of the list ran in parralel to any problems i might be working on. I felt it was worthwhile reading posts i had no idea what were on about because i'd learn SOMETHING that might be applicable to a problem i'd run into in the future, or alter my approach on a current problem. Since AS3 came around, i've been hugely confused: I have no idea how you guys have TIME to explore it. How Darron Schall has time to create an AS3 VNC viewer is beyond me, or how Grant Skinner can put together gModeler, or how any number of flash guru types have time to put together x number of exciting new applications of the technology.

[Flashcoders] Strange behaviour from modulus operator
Experiencing a strange problem using the modulus operator. Inside a function I have the following code: var vValue1 = passed_MC._x - this.Maze_Horizontal_offset; var vValue2 = 36; var vTheResult = vValue1 % vValue2; trace (vValue1 = + vValue1); trace (vTheResult = + Number(vTheResult)); And here are the results I am getting from the trace statements: vValue1 = 324 vTheResult = 5.6843418860808e-14 Surely it should give me a result of zero as 36 goes into 324 exactly 9 times. The weird thing is if I just hard code the values as follows, it works var vValue1 = 324; var vValue2 = 36; var vTheResult = vValue1 % vValue2; trace (vTheResult = + Number(vTheResult)); - And here is the result of the trace statement: vTheResult = 0 I am therefore totally confused!!!

Because _x is not necessarily an integer, vValue1 is not guaranteed to be an integer either, which it must be for modulo to return the result you want.

The _x value is a float, and so there's a very small leftover value at the bottom end of the decimal places. Notice that your vTheResult is very, very small. You can avoid the problem by taking Math.round(vValue1) % vValue2.

Re: [Flashcoders] Strange behaviour from modulus operator
How much closer to zero where you expecting? 5 to the power of 10 to the -14 is zero to the limits of modern PCs. If you want to deal with integers make the numbers integers. If you do your math in floating point with a mantissa with lots of bits, you are going to get some bits left over at the end. The machine is doing all of its math in binary and some/many decimal numbers can not be represented exactly in binary. Think of 1/3+1/3+1/3 != .33+.33+.33 It is not just machines that have the problem. You can never compare a floating point number to zero and expect your code to work reliably. Convert the result of modulus to an integer and compare that to 0. Ron Paul Steven wrote: Experiencing a strange problem using the modulus operator.

found out the anySound.stop() stopped all sounds.
Looking at the documentation, it says you can specify what sound to
stop using a linkage ID. I understand that'd work fine if you use
sound.attachSound (getting a sound from the library), but what if you
use sound.loadSound(file)? What is the linkageID now?

Re: [Flashcoders] Remove right click menu
Here's what I've been able to find out:
Disable Flash movie right-click menu
disabling right-clicking on a Flash movie (in IE [on a PC])
so, i've complained for some time on various forums about the inherent
security flaw of having the About Macromedia Flash Player X open a new
browser window.
scenario
let's say you're building an intranet app as a HTA (hypertext
application). You are putting this app into a controlled environment
(school, library, kiosk) where the user shouldn't have permission to the
file system (windows explorer, dos prompt, even applications that have a
File-Open dialog). You've even written your own replacement shell for
Windows that only shows icons for your apps or select user-installed
apps (yes, we've done this!). Internet Explorer is one of those
applications that you'd rather not have them being able to run, as a
user could type c: into the URL area and tah-dah - instant access to
the harddrive.
so, you decide that Flash would make a kick-ass front end for your app -
what with no page refresh needed, remoting to local web services, not to
mention all the cool visual things you can do...
you build your app, test it, place it in your secure environment and the
very first day, someone has wiped the system clean. HOW THE #$^@# did
that happen?
this is where you can thank all those fine folks at MM who insist that
the best way to tell a user about their product is to take them to a
WEBSITE... brilliant... so, what happens is of course the user
right-clicked your interface, selected About Macromedia Flash Player
X, which opened a new browser window, and then proceeded to have their
way with the local machine.
/scenario
(note to MM: i appreciate all the other security features in the newer
players, but i still think this is more of an issue than redirecting
content is or was...)
anyways, so luckily, after several failed attempts to get around said
blatent security hazard without writing a custom ocx that just wraps the
flash player and passes through fscommands, i edited together some
existing code, added some things that flash needed, and was able to
completely disable the right-click context menu over a flash movie.
woot! of course, as i'm focused on making this work in an HTA, this is
PC IE specific code. i know this won't work as written in
Netscape/Mozilla, though with the newest players, it just might with
some slight Javascript manipulation.
so here's the scoop:
there are two things that have to be done within the OBJECT block of
the Flash movie.
1) the Flash object has to have the WMODE parameter set to OPAQUE:
param name=wmode value=opaque
2) the Flash movie should be given an ID inline with the OBJECT tag:
object id=myFlashMovie classid=... ...
(note that this step is really optional - but we'll discuss that below)
once these are done, a small amount of javascript can be added to the
HEAD section of the HTML page:
script language=JavaScript
// function to handle right-click anywhere on page
function handleclick() {
if (event.button==2)
{
// right button (2) was pressed
showAboutBox();
}
}
// function that shows our custom about box
function showAboutBox() {
popup_msg = Content Menu Disabled Trick\n\n;
popup_msg+= This one works even over Flash content.;
// if the source of the right click was from the Flash movie,
// we add an about MM note
// also, note the id tag in the flash object below
if (event.srcElement.id == myFlashMovie) {
popup_msg += \n\nThis Flash movie was made with Macromedia FlashMX;
}
alert(popup_msg);
}
// set handler function for mouse presses
document.onmousedown=handleclick;
/script
that's it! you'll now have a custom alert popping up when a user
right-clicks anywhere on the page, including over Flash movies.
now, you might have noticed that in that code, i check the ID of the
click event to see if we're over a Flash movie, and if so, we give a
blurb to MM for making the fine product. However, if you have more than
one movie on the page, you could change the test the classid of the
srcElement like so:
if (event.srcElement.classid ==
clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-44455354) {
popup_msg += \n\nThis Flash movie was made with Macromedia FlashMX;
}
That is why i mentioned that step 2 above is optional.
You could also use the over a Flash movie test to decide whether or
not to show the pop-up. That is, you could only show the custom popup
screen if they right-clicked on a Flash movie, thus still allowing
right-clicking on the HTML portion of a page.
At this point, i should note that the popup screen that is displayed is
a very important part of this whole equation. You simply can't
cancelBubble, return false, or just set the event to nothing for this
trick to work. believe me, i've tried. the deal is is that it seems that
the Flash player will still capture the mouse click and show the context
menu unless you have some other interaction

Re: [Flashcoders] random concatenated txt question
I don't see anything there in that code that limits the string length to
19, nor anything to reset the string to a null value upon reaching the 19.
It just keeps on concatenating onto the end of the string, but you can't
see it because of the limited size of the textfield.
Try putting a trace in your onEnterFrame() and you'll see what I mean:
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
myTxt_txt.text = random2();
trace(myTxt_txt.text: +myTxt_txt.text.length)
};
That said, it seems to me that you're really going about this the hard
way. Each of those single-letter strings is possible to represent with a
numeric ascii value, such that there is no need for the array -- just
convert the chosen numeric value to a character at the time it is
concatenated.

Re: [Flashcoders] random concatenated txt question
you might have an issue with using x as a global variable? try defining
x with var in the for loop.. or somewhere in the function. if you do
not use var, it should become a global variable.

[Flashcoders] secure server communication
hi all. i know this question has been asked a few times, but never theless i have to ask it again: i have to do a multi-level game where each level when done reveals a secret word and all words together result in a end-level solution-word. the players have to register first, dont have to play all levels in one go (means can log on and log off and all solved level-words are stored on server side) and the first player that makes all levels will win a price. problem/question: are there any known problems at https connections between server-side (php) and flash (v7)? what are the best ways to ensure a hacker proof solution? will https and md5 stored information inside the swf do? is there a better/safer way than a post request between flash and server side? sorry if this might be off-topic to some one. thanks, best: lars ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

You're first populating myTxt_txt with a string of 19 spaces or other
character, correct?
Are you certain that random2() is not appending a new string to the end of
the existing one? What if trimmed it down and changed it to...
function random2() {
yy = _root.myTxt_txt.length;
initialTxt = ;
for (x = 0; x yy; x++) {
j = random1();
initialTxt = j.toString();
}
return initialTxt;

Re: [Flashcoders] random concatenated txt question
Does this need to be inside the loop?
if (initialTxt == undefined) {
initialTxt = '';
}
Why not clean up the code by typing it fully to reduce or eliminate the
possibility of silly errors.
initialTxt is never declared.
Why is this myTxt not on _root with the other one.
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
uu = random2();
myTxt_txt.text = uu;
trace(myTxt_txt.text: +myTxt_txt.text.length)
I have a feeling that if you clean up the code, it will suddenly start
to work.

Re: [Flashcoders] Load external bitmap into bitmapdata?
Hey Marcelo, I've been playing with BitmapData for the first time this past weekend so I stand to be corrected on what I'm about to say! My understanding is that you can only load BitmapData from an existing image which is already in your library and has a linkage ID. For this reason, I don't think you can load an image and get its BitmapData. I was thinking there might be a workaround though... I was going to try embedding the jpg/png/gif in an swf and giving it a linkage id in the library, then load that swf into your master movie and attach the BitmapData from the loaded swf's library. Possible issues? I know you can't attach library assets from a loaded swf into another swf so the same limitation may apply with BitmapData. Again, I thought a workaround for this might be to attach the BitmapData into the swf you've just loaded and then clone it to a BitmapData object elsewhere? As you can see, I've been doing a lot of thinking and not a lot of doing so I'm not sure if this is of any help at all! I'd be very interested to know if any of this works.

Re: [Flashcoders] Shape tweens through AS?
I haven't dug very deeply into the tween class. Anyone know if it is possible to do shape tweens with it (or has someone written a custom class to do this)? Well, short answer: you can't do it. It isn't a matter of building classes for it; you can't just modify an existing drawing. There are two things you can do though, depending on what you actually want to build: 1. build a normal shape tween using the timeline, then use any tween class/code to control the playhead on that timeline, so you can go back and forth on the animation, use different times, etc. 2. build objects by code (using the drawing API). Then you'll be fully able to animate each of their points separately. This is overkill though and probably not what you want, since you will not only have to draw all your objects by code, but also need to create code to properly translate the points of one drawing to the other. - Zeh ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

[Flashcoders] LoadSound from shoutcast server
Hi, I have try to make a radio mp3 player who play mp3 stream coming from server. All works fine in the Flash Api or when y test locally the swf. code ur = http://193.201.103.19:9100; http://193.201.103.19:9100/; mySnd = new Sound(); mySnd.loadSound( ur,true); /code But when i tried to build a desktop application using mprojector or Screenweaver Os the stream don't load. This is not a security issue, so i tried to put my swf on a web server... doesn't work anymore. For FireFox i find a trick by adding a /; just after the url and that work: code ur = http://193.201.103.19:9100; http://193.201.103.19:9100/; mySnd = new Sound(); mySnd.loadSound( ur+ /;,true); /code But it doesn't works in IE and in mprojector generated files. So i have a look a the httpheader and see that for the radio who use shoutcast send nothing after HTTP/1.x 200 OK and other radio send something like : HTTP/1.x 200 OK Content-Type: audio/mpeg icy-br: 128 icy-genre: rock icy-name: ouifm - la radio rock - relais 128 kbps icy-notice1: BRThis stream requires a href=http://www.winamp.com/;http://www.winamp.com/ Winamp/aBR icy-notice2: SHOUTcast Distributed Network Audio Server/win32 v1.9.2BR icy-pub: 0 icy-url: http://www.ouirock.com Server: Icecast 2.2.0 So what can be the differences in a Flash swf file or an flash exe file AND a file generated by mprojector or online swf ? -- Julien TERRAZ ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] Shape tweens through AS?
Why doesn't flash have this feature? That sounds like an excellent way to control vectors... I will go ahead and argue that the MovieClip has too much functionality, the API is too big now. There should be a Vector class which with the MovieClip class composes vector graphic interactivity, like the MovieClip/bitmapData class composition. This way, the MovieClip class would handle the complex of time, and the Vector class the complex of space. I would even argue that the interactivity should be assigned to a seperate class. You could then use the interactivity class (basically, Mouse/Key class) with the vector class to compose static, vector based websites, or bitmap based websites using Flash. If you decide to incorporate MovieClips into your composition, then you could incorporate animations. This would even give more meaning to components. This would seem to complicate things, but given the proper categorization, I find that it would simplify through complexity. Ok enough of my rambling. M.

[Flashcoders] Frame accurate FLV Dynamic Playlist??
Anyone know if the following scenario is possible. Say we have two or more Flash FLV or SWF video files on our server. Each was encoded at the same frame, aspect, and data rate. Let's call these clips Clip A and Clip B. Clip A is 1800 frames long or 60 seconds. Clip B is 5442 frames long or 3 minutes and 1 second, and 12 frames Question...Can we dynamically instruct the clients web browser with the Flash plug ins to do the following task? FRAME accuratly play from frame 134 to frame 1433 of clip A, THEN IMMEDIATELY cut to and play frame 23-786 in Clip B, THEN IMMEDIATELY cut to and play frame 154-1799 in Clip A, and so on and so on This function must appear to happen in the SAME flash window with the cuts being frame accurate. My idea is to put all of the clip editing preview AND the client viewing tasks in the client browser. This way we do not have to conform the low resolution material. There may be a clever way place two playback flash windows in a browser. At the cut marks you change the priority between the two windows to reveal the active window. You then cue up the next clip in the back window.

RE: [Flashcoders] Shape tweens through AS?
Actually there are many very interesting uses for code-based Shape Tweening, one of them is to dynamically morph any shape into any other shape. As for finding the coordinates of the points that define the shape: one option is a custom, AS based shape editor / drawing tool. Another one is to draw in the Flash IDE and then extract the drawing data with ASV (using some code by Peter Hall) or Robin Dubreuil's brilliant JSFL script sel2Draw (part of an old SDK). For translating the points of one drawing to the points of the other one - we'd need something analogous to the 'shape-hints' in the IDE. Another, much easier approach, is to just use shapes that have an equal number of defining points, thus making it easy to map each point to a point of the new shape. In this sample http://www.motiondraw.com/md/as_samples/t/cards/2006/FlashCard.php each shape is defined by 60 points - it is then quite straight-forward to morph each shape into a randomly chosen other shape. To make a shape with only 60 defining points look good (smooth) a fast Catmull-Rom spline was helpful: http://www.motiondraw.com/md/as_samples/t/CatmullRomSpline/tween.html Shape tweens through AS - not as straight-forward as it would be if we could access the drawing data at runtime, but still possible. hth -- Andreas Weber motiondraw.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zeh Fernando Sent: Montag, 6.

This is overkill though and probably not what you want, since you will not only have to draw all your objects by code, but also need to create code to properly translate the points of one drawing to the other. - Zeh ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Doesn't office show a contextual menu on r-click?

Re: [Flashcoders] Remove right click menu
why not try director? drop the flash movie inside director and then on export disable the context menu option. there shouldn't be a huge performance hit. you could also dynamically load the swf file into director and simply use the dcr as a stub movie. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Remove right click menu
True, it would work a lot like www.goowy.com does (without FireFox, because for some reason [probably the superimposed HTML], right clicking the Flash window doesn't work in FireFox). You'll still see the Settings and About or something like that... On 3/7/06, Michael Bedar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Doesn't office show a contextual menu on r-click?

Re: [Flashcoders] referencing movieclips in an array ..
try this.
var _menuArray:Array = new Array();
var _baseName:String = mc_menu;
for (var i:Number = 0; i 20; i++) {
_menuArray.push( this.createEmptyMovieClip( _baseName+i,
this.getNextHighestDepth()) );
}
that will do it... but you may want to create an instance of a mc and not an
empty one. look up attachMovie()
also your code wouldn't work... why you ask?
- you have a function that creates your mc's that is not even called!
- if you actually did call you would only get mc as you are constantly
setting the new mc at the same depth
