Re: [Flashcoders] duplicateMovieClip() ?
I can invoke this function in my Scene.
function alot(max) {
var basename:String = circle_mc;
for (var i = 0; imax; i++) {
_root.it_mc.duplicateMovieClip(basename+i, this.getNextHighestDepth
());
_root[basename+i]._x = 100+i*5;
_root[basename+i]._y = 100+i*5;
}
}
alot(5);
it_mc is a MovieClip on the Scene.

_root[basename+i]._x = 100 + i*5;

the trace returns 0. why are my dynamically duplicated movieclips not

Jamie, thanks - so I tried calling setNewTextFormat(theFormat) before
(and also after) I set the text value the second time, and it still
doesn't show the text field. If I just set the text and the text format
one time, it shows up fine.
This is unbelievably frustrating, why would Flash behave so? Seems very

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Still need help-Can't reference library
font fromclass
Although I have had my fair share of headaches with TextFormat, I
think I may know what is going on here.
There are two methods for assigning a textFormat to a textField. These
are setTextFormat() and setNewTextFormat().
The way I understand it setTextFormat() sets the style of the text
that is currently assigned to the textField BUT any new text assigned
by actionscript, by replaceSel() or by the user (in the case of input
text) is styled according to the setNewTextFormat() method and if none
is given, as in your class, the new text is given some default style,
which, as you've noticed, is not necessarily the same as the style you
defined by setTextFormat().
so I would try using setNewTextFormat() also and see if that works.

Shared libraries are a bit tricky. Don't use font symbols in the
library.
Use MCs with a text box inside. Embed the font in the MC.
http://www.sharedfonts.com/eng/faq.html -- This site was extremely
helpful. Download the demo... watch how it works.
You need to create a font_name_library movie with the font exported for
RTS.
Then create a shared asset movie... drag the movieclip with the
textfield in
it from the font_name_library to the new shared asset document. Publish
Then load the shared asset library only when loading into your main swf.
Not very helpful, but hit me back if you need help. I've created an
automatic font library extension for flash that makes it a breeze.

*I am using Flash8*
Is there a way to keep fonts in an external movie and load them
dynamically into a movie when needed?
The flash movie I am currently working on is a text editor that is all
generated dynamically. A text box is generated on the main movie like
this:
this.createTextField(message_txt, 200, 10, 10, 560, 200);
message_txt.embedFonts = true;
The main text box is styled using TextFormat.
var messageformat:TextFormat;
meassageformat = new TextFormat();
messageformat.size = 20;
messageformat.font = hightower_font;
I have a button that calls in an external SWF that contains a list of
different fonts for the text box. The fonts are embedded in the movie
and exported for action script and runtime sharing. They change the
font like this:
this.aucion_mc.onRelease = function () {
messageformat = new TextFormat();
messageformat.font = aucion_font;
_root.message_txt.setTextFormat(messageformat);
}
The fonts show up in the external SWF as it is loaded into the main
movie but when one of the bottons is presssed, the text in the text
box disappears.
If I embed the fonts in the main movie, I have no problems.
Everything works fine. But that defeats the purpose of having the
fonts exist externally. I only want them to load if the user wants to
change fonts.

Re: [Flashcoders] Uploading file problem on MAC
When specifying the file types that are allowed to upload, are you specifying a macType as well?

[FlashCoders] remove BitmapData
Hello everyone, How can I remove a bitmap that I have attached on a movieclip at a certain depth?

Agreed, the Friend of Ed book on Object Oriented Actionscript is great.

I'd like to second that recommendation. I just picked that up yesterday and have already learned a good bit from it. I enjoy that books like this are finally coming out. Another good thing about this book so far is that The examples are short and focused on what you are supposed to be learning so before the attention span is shot you're throwing in two or three new lines of code and having the reasons clarified. Another book that I've been enjoying a piece at a time is Object Oriented Actionscript in Flash 8. also from FOE. I'm learning a lot from it. The only gripe I have is that I feel as if the case study- although excellent and illustrative about the techniques- has been a turn off in my current situation because I need to build a component set quick fast and in a hurry at work. It is really nice though that it's taking me through the planning and implementation of building a component architecture from the ground up and why. I learned a ton about what could be done with components from The Flex book because despite being geared toward Flex development it exposed some of the API and uses of it that I had not come across. I would recommend the Flash -Pro app development training from the source -I learned a lot from that book but I think that with Flex on the horizon-that might not be how things are done very soon. I agree with you that most of the book recommendations out right now are dated. This is a very fast moving period in ActionScript and even with the books fresh off the press I'm wondering if they're not already behind the times and it is almost impossible to find books that go beyond the very basic.

Re: [Flashcoders] Uploading file problem on MAC
When using FileReference.browse(), you can specify the types of files
you want to allow in an array. For example:
var typeLIst:Array = [{description: Image files, extension:
*.jpg;*.gif;*.png, macType: JPEG;jp2_;GIFF}, {description: Flash
Movies, extension: *.swf, macType: SWFL}];
myFileReference.browse (typeList);
The example above would limit the selectable files
to .jpg, .gif, .png, and .swf. Each element in the array is an
object with a description, extension, and macType property. If you
remove the macType property from the object, then the files will
still be filtered by extension on the Mac, but should still be

[Flashcoders] How to fork between F7/F8 loadMovie instances in actionscript?
Adobe provides code to allow you to fork between F7 and F8 instances of your movie. This works just fine. So the issue I'm running into now is that I've done a nice job abstracting my content into a bunch of separate .swfs that are reassembled into a finished movie. What I need to know is how to fork for F7 and F8 versions +in actionscript.+. In other words, an F8-equipped person hits my main movie, and is fed the F8 version. I want to make is so that the submovies that come in via loadMovie are also F8-specific. I want the right content to also be provided to F7-folks. And I'd really like to do this with if/else in one movie. Making two entirely separate movies would work, but it is a sloppy and unmaintainable solution. Any help out there?

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Uploading file problem on MAC
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 07:30:05 -0700
When specifying the file types that are allowed to upload, are you
specifying a macType as well? If a file wasn't actually created on a
Mac, it won't have a macType, and won't be selectable, even if it's
still technically of the type you want to allow.
Setting the macType isn't required, and the list of extensions used by
Windows to filter the files will still work on the Mac, so I'd just
remove the macType specification.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flex2 Project Conversion
All I said was I wouldn't risk building a project for a client that relies on a beta version of a product. Mr. Mendels at Macromedia replied with basically the same response. I think that's pretty common reasoning, but apparently not everyone would agree and that's OK. I'm entitled to my opinion, just as you are yours. The poster asked for input on risk of using Flex 2 right now, and I just said what I would do/recommend. That's all. I think you somehow want to create a debate topic out of this, when there is really only personal opinions and personal business perspectives - no clear cut answer.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flex2 Project Conversion
Thanks for everyone's input and suggestions. I appreciate hearing from the new Mother ship, so thanks for chiming in David. I think we'll slowly begin migrating our app and deal with the issues as they arise... Thanks, Kevin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Mendels Sent: March 14, 2006 11:10 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flex2 Project Conversion Hi, I am from Adobe, let me give some perspective. A) It is always risky to build on a beta. I feel quite confident in where we are and hitting our schedule, but I have to be realistic that there is always some risk. You need to judge your tolerence for risk. B) There has been an API scrub between beta 1 and beta 2. The results are I think great--clarity and consistancy--but it will mean some migration from Beta 1 to beta 2. Most beta 1 apps will require some changes to run in beta 2. That said, we don't expect to need to do this again. Beta 3 and final could require some changes in your code, but if they do, it should be minor. Again, we can't make guarantees and you might have to make changes again before we ship. C) The advantages of Flex 2 are (IMO) enourmous and very valuable (performance, productivity, maintainability). We aren't going to be reachitecting the Player, framework, language, again for a long long time. If you can go straight to Flex 2/Player 8.5 that will save you the effort at some point of migrating, but it does carry risk until we ship.

[Flashcoders] Can I consider my netstream object my Model?
If I have a streaming video would I consider my Netstream object my model and use my multiple views such as buttons and the Video symbol and give each view controllers to manipulate that stream. I'm reasonably confident that this is my best approach- Where things get murky for me is when I have several videos that are streaming- would I be better off giving each video its own separate model or providing one aggregate model that has an array of Netstreams that the controllers would have code to select from the array when they are calling their commands? Just looking for a combination of advice and quick reassurance that I'm approaching this is a reasonable way.

Re: [Flashcoders] Advice on how to make a copy of an object
interesting you should say its the same in as3 jese. i take it you are aware
of peter halls post on this
http://www.peterjoel.com/blog/index.php?archive=2006_02_01_archive.xml#114064012876401732
however that does not work ala as2, since all private members are ignored.
(which leaves me to suspect that value objects is the only way to get
someting like openAMF to work properly using amf1 and as3)
but this is besides the point. in as2 the for each loop is your friend for
cloning objects, but then you also have to consider that some complex
members will not be cloned, but rather a reference to an exisitng object
will just be copied, thus its tricky.
so for true cloning you need to check if somthing is a complex type if it
is, you have to clone that as well, and thus can get messy recursively.

Re: [Flashcoders] Uploading file problem on MAC
Not if you're trying to use FileReference. I've noticed that only
some applications on the Mac would embed that filetype info. But,
when the file gets transferred from the Mac to PC then back,
sometimes the info would get lost. But, most files on OSX now use
file extensions, so you can still filter by those.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Uploading file problem on MAC
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 08:09:21 -0700
When using FileReference.browse(), you can specify the types of
files you want to allow in an array. For example:
var typeLIst:Array = [{description: Image files, extension:
*.jpg;*.gif;*.png, macType: JPEG;jp2_;GIFF}, {description:
Flash Movies, extension: *.swf, macType: SWFL}];
myFileReference.browse (typeList);
The example above would limit the selectable files
to .jpg, .gif, .png, and .swf. Each element in the array is an
object with a description, extension, and macType property. If
you remove the macType property from the object, then the files
will still be filtered by extension on the Mac, but should still
be selectable.

When specifying the file types that are allowed to upload, are
you specifying a macType as well? If a file wasn't actually
created on a Mac, it won't have a macType, and won't be
selectable, even if it's still technically of the type you
want to allow.
Setting the macType isn't required, and the list of extensions
used by Windows to filter the files will still work on the
Mac, so I'd just remove the macType specification.

Re: [Flashcoders] Advice on how to make a copy of an object
Holy crap--excuse me- I never thought of it that way- I was looking at was
looking at a similar clone function but didn't realize that it was just a
matter of calling the constructor from inside and customizing it.
Initially I was trying to design this with a singleton model that would hold
a ref to multiple video views but changes in some specs have me trying to
have each view have a slightly altered copy of the model. I'm curious if
that means get rid of the singleton?

Re: [Flashcoders] Memory leak in Flash projector
This is the same thing that I discovered on a project last year. We even discussed the issue with Macromedia and they basically told us that the player was not intended to run for long periods of time. The minimize, restore does seem to work though. It seems to allow the GC to actually release the unneeded memory back to Windows. There was also a utility that someone on the team found that would force it to release the memory. But it was Windows only, and we had to support Mac so we ended up taking it out.

[Flashcoders] Instantiate AS2 classes from AS1...
Hi, I am posting this once more in case the post got buried. I have a body of AS1.0 code that I inherited that is compiled under 1.0. I would like to keep it compiled with AS 1.0 but make it use any newly written AS2.0 classes. Compiling the existing 1.0 code under AS2.0 setting causes too many errors, don't have time for that now. I am thinking that one option to do this would be to compile any newly created AS2.0 code into its own swf, and make the existing AS1.0 code load in the swf and instantiate the AS2 class that way, but I am having a little problem getting it to work. Am I on the right path? Any ideas? - boon - Yahoo!

Something like this:

DataGrid.prototype.onRowRollOver = function(rowIndex : Number) {
if (this.rows[rowIndex].item.enabled === false) return;
return this.oldOnRowRollOver.apply(this, arguments);

You can also do the same with onRowPress to prevent disabled rows
from being selected.

the tree component. You can find source code in the
mx.controls.listclasses.ScrollSelectList class. It is an ancestor of a tree
class.
If current row is disabled just skip drawRow invocation.
Hopefully it will work.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply. I was about to have a hernia. I've snooped
through as much of this component as I'm willing to bare.
If you mean this:
tree.addEventListener('itemRollOver', treeListener);
tree.addEventListener('itemRollOut', treeListener);
treeListener.itemRollOver = function(evt:Object)
{
evt.target.setStyle(useRollOver, false);
}
treeListener.itemRollOut = function(evt:Object)
{
evt.target.setStyle(useRollOver, true);
}
It really doesn't work very well. The custom event handler responds
after the default behaviour has been triggered.
How can it be this complex to just stop the rollover for disabled
elements :'(

Re: [Flashcoders] Trying Again:External Interface API and External .js Files
Christian wrote: I'm trying to rewrite some tracking functionality that I have utilizing external .js files and I can't seem to use the external API unless the JavaScript function is on the page in between the script tags. Can you do this with external .js files? If so, is there somewhere you can point me? I don't know, sorry. :( I do know that there are great browser dependencies with this work... the Flash externalInterface commands apparently hook into the new scriptable plugins interface for Firefox, Opera and Safari, as well as the different methodology for ActiveX Scripting in Microsoft's browser for Windows. Here's the source page for the new API: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/plugins/npruntime.html Now, how do the various browsers implement this, and what beyond-the-spec differences do they have? That's something that I don't know that anyone has documented. It could be that *all* browsers don't recognize external .JS files for browser-to-plugin and/or plugin-to-browser messages, or it could be that just *some* have that distinction... I don't yet know of any pages from the browser vendors which discuss usage issues, much less a cross-browser reference like a css differences or dom differences type of guide. Best tip I could offer right now would be to test some simple functions, in barebones JS SWF, just to rule out any authoring complications. Testing it across a few browsers would be the next step. But, as with any multi-engine work, finding the differences between implementations is a tricky unmentioned cost. Wish I had something better, but the above is the best I've got on this subject right now. jd -- John Dowdell . Adobe Developer Support .

Re: [Flashcoders] Is it possible to make AS1.0 code instantiate AS2.0 objects without compiling it under AS2.0?
Since you're strapped for time and can't classify the code to as2, you shouldn't even bother trying to classify it in as1 if you're having trouble converting it to as2. I recommend classifying the as1 code using as2, if you don't and use a hybrid of as1 and as2 with poorly decoupled as1 code ( which appears to be the case ), the app will be, for lack of a better phrase, a mangled mess. You might even lose more time from trying to save time. I'm not sure what the context of this as1 code is, but throwing it in a movieclip and putting it on the root would be a quick and dirty way to use it as a pseudo class, however, if it isn't decoupled from the application enough to do this and just work, then you would leave it where it is and target the code members from your as2 code to make it worth the time. On the other hand you could save a ton of time by writing the entire app in as1 if you haven't begun building it in as2. Good luck man, M.

Re: [FlashCoders] remove BitmapData
There is no getDepth() method for bitmapData Objects.
What's the problem with keeping a refrence to your bitmapData Objects? I
would argue that it's better practice to refrence them anyways, and as of
now, if you do not call dispose() and just remove MovieClips with bitmapData
attached, the bitmapData, as I know it, will remain in memory.

you could loop through the movieclip, check if the object you are

done in reomvemoveiclip so you know when you remove a movieclip it will
be
sorted.

Isn't there just a simple way to *clear* the movieclip at a specific

Re: [Flashcoders] Find Nearest Color?
This sounded interesting so I wrote something up for you Josh:
//color that is being compared
var a:Number = 0x12345;
//color set to use
var b:Array = [0x00, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x00FF00, 0xFF, 0x00,
0xFF00FF, 0x00];
//get the distance between two colors
function getDistance(a:Number, b:Number){
var i =-1, a = getRGB(a), b = getRGB(b), r=[];
while(++i3)
r[i] = a[i]b[i]?b[i]-a[i]:a[i]-b[i];
return r;
}
//convert hex color to a number
function getRGB(c:Number):Array {
return [(c~0x00)16, (c~0xFF00FF)8, (c~0xF00)];
}
//you can use (c~0x00FF)32 to get red for rgba colors, and using the
pattern below, you can get the rest.
//I don't know how good my math is in this, there might be a better way to
get the rgb values
//the lowest average is the closest match, in this example, it's black.
for(var i in b){
var j = getDistance(a, b[i]), k=(j[0]+j[1]+j[2])/3;
trace(j+' average: '+k);
}
Hope this works,

Re: [Flashcoders] Find Nearest Color?
I tried comparing the hex values directly, but there were inaccuracies, maybe the same ones you've been having. I think since the value of a particular color precedes with a 0 even when it's below 17(0F), the preceding 0 causes a shifting in the comparison. It would, for example, cause 0x00 to seem farther to 0x123456 than 0x00FF00, where visually you can see clearly that black is closer to 0x00. btw in my example, var a = 0x12345 where it should be 0x123456. The numbers hold to be accurate after correcting this typo.

K, here is some better math for getRGB, performance will probably be important: return [c16, c8~0xFF00, c~0xF00]; You can also try using the ColorTransform or Color class to get the rgb values, except they might be slower than getting the raw math right.

RE: [Flashcoders] flv local playback on linux
I had a similar problem, but it was on a Mac. It turned out to be a bug with Flash Player 7 - something to do with resolving relative paths (I can't remember exactly). This bug was fixed in Flash Player 8 - so we resolved it by publishing for Flash Player 7, but requiring Flash Player 8 on a Mac.

Re: [Flashcoders] DataGrid Component Performance
What do you mean by expand rows? But I think the answer is no - all grid rows need to be the same height (this height is adjustable, but applies to all rows). The datagrid component can handle many thousand rows, but becomes very unresponsive with a number of columns. In an application which does display a lot of data we limit the grids to a maximum of 15 columns, and this can display 20,000 rows ok. However, whenever the grid needs to do a full redraw (ie sorting a column, resizing a column) it can pause for a couple of seconds. Also, intensive CellRenderers should be avoided, as should any kind of manual row highlighting (ie alternate row colours).

Expand rows? Like a tree/table idea? No, it can't. It is build to handle thousand of rows, but there a couple of issues. Population of the datagrid is slow as molasses. You might be able to short circuit your way into some better performance, but it's a crapshoot. Also, don't even bother trying to sort. It might be interesting to try delegating sorting to the server and getting a permutation vector back...but even then, it might give you trouble. Also, column sorting is limited to string sorts.
