Re: [Flashcoders] Database modeling for AS projects
FYI, DBDesigner4 is built with Kylix so you'll need a few libs for the Linux version which are not distributed with the application. For those of you that are having difficulty installing please reference below: extract DBDDesigner4.0.5.4.tar.gz to dir of choice extract kylixlibs3-borqt-3.0-2.tar.gz and ./install (located here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kylixlibs/kylixlibs3-borqt-3.0-2.tar.gz?download ) create a symlink: ln -s /usr/lib/kylix3/libborqt-6.9.0-qt2.3.so /usr/lib/DBDesigner4/libborqt- 6.9-qt2.3.so run ./startdbd in the extracted DBDesigner4 dir NOTE: if app does not start check the ~/.DBDesigner4 for DBD4.log for any errors if errors with libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 arise search the package repository pertaining to your flavor of Linux containing libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 -OR- apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 Stay well, Honeyghan On 3/21/06, Ron Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Honeyghan wrote: I've been doing some research on various modeling tools which would enable me to easily model databases for future flash projects. Came across two very interesting solutions which should be on your radar. My requirements are as follows: 1. Feature rich, stable application which allows reverse engineering of existing database. 2. Compatibility with MySQL databases and Linux. 3. Ability to generate SQL statements directly from diagrams. 4. Exporting diagrams as an image and or printing is a must. 5. Uses open standards which allow me to utilize output in other applications. 6. Allow easy navigation of the entire database scheme, which includes finding and navigating to specified table. 7. Minimal cost. Solution 1: DBDesigner4 from fabFORCE.net (http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/) Fits in-line with all of the above and more. While I do wish that there was an add-on to Eclipse. It's interface is stable offers ease of use, by far a very powerful application which will save me time during the planning phase of extensive projects. DBDesigner4 is also available for the Windows platform and is GNU Licensed. Solution 2: Azzurri Clay from Azzurri Ltd. (http://www.azzurri.jp/en/index.jsp) Another gem which is a native plug-in for Eclipse. Azzurri Clay available in either Core or Pro version, Core being free and Pro costing 35,000 YEN -- about $300 give or take. Sadly to say the Pro version is apparently no longer available for sale outside of Japan according to their english website. While the Core version isn't as feature rich as DBDesigner4, it's worth mentioning if your needs are basic. One thing I found limiting is that there is no export to image which is important if working in a team environment. Clay Core supports additional databases besides MySQL such as PostgreSQL, however, there is no SQL Sever support. As a plug-in for Eclipse it's available on all Java enabled platforms.

Re: [Flashcoders] Protecting Shared Objects
Just as long as you document it somewhere or off the option to uninstall, so that when someone actually is deleting things for a good reason, they can be sure they really are removing the whole application, including the archiver and it's backup. John Mark Hawley schrieb: I'm working on a CD product that needs to store a lot of data locally for easy lookup. Before your eyes glaze over and you point me at Zinc, know that this poor little product needs to run on OS 9, OSX, and Windows. Zinc doesn't do OS 9. But, aha, local shared objects! We can use them! Sure we can, but then there's a problem that some wiseguy could wipeout our entire database by clicking around in the Flash plugin settings for a good long time. So: the tentative plan says we could run a little executable via an fscommand at startup that checks to see if the LSO's are in good order, and archives them elsewhere if so. If they've been hosed, the little executable would un-archive the last backup and put them back in the right location. This sounds a little a rinky-dink, but it seems a heck of a lot easier than wrestling with a custom director wrapper and a real database. Just how icky does this sound to everyone? Anyone ever attempt something similar?

Re: [Flashcoders] Mail + php huey
ok. have you tested the php without flash - in a browser with a form or
hardcoded values? writing a file... does the directory have write access?
is the variable defined? test if... wait i see a possible problem. scope
issue.
myVars.onLoad = function() {
if (this.verify == success) {
email_txt.text = Data Saved;
} else {
email_txt.text = Failed Save;
}
};
inside the onLoad function you can use this instead of myVars... not sure
its thats you problem could be just good pratice.
another thing you can do is check the if the variable verify is defined (
this.verify == undefined) . i think that could be the main issue. check you
php! remove the as verify is your first variable and probably remove the
last as you don't need it unless you are declaring another variable.
?php
$userEmail = $_POST['userEmail'];
$add = $userEmail;
$open = fopen('emails.txt', 'a');
$write = fwrite($open, $add);
if($write) {
echo verify=success;
} else {
echo verify=fail;
}
?
give it a go. sometimes it takes another person
to look at your code. peer review is great.

If they've been hosed, the little executable would un-archive the last backup and put them back in the right location.

When I test my Movie (crtl+Enter) for the main _level0 clipA it loads clip B in fine and reads the _global variable in fine as well as expected.

RE: [Flashcoders] _global is _global or what?
Two possible things which may cause problems, not sure if it is in your case: 1. If the swfs are published to different versions of the flash player(for example, a v7 swf and a v6 swf), they won't be able to read each other's _global's No, same version - all Flash 7. 2. If the swf's are in different domains, they may not be able to read each other's globals (not completely sure about this), without specifically allowing the domains using System.security.allowDomain() (in both directions, A allows B's domain, B allows A's domain) Same domain- but the .swf is in a subfolder of the domain. 3. A loading issue? I've had problems where things work offline, but not online, due to me not checking if certain resources are completely loaded yet. (Yes I know this is vague, but it's a general hint) I think that's likely the case. Thanks!

perhaps it's just too late in the day to figure it out.
2nd problem:
I have also tried to extend the Button class and apply the icons, as
shown in the Advanced Actionscript Components book. Then, I don't have
the rectangle problem, but the registration seems to be off, and
height and width come back as zero!

[Flashcoders] Help a newbie - loadmovie dynamically determined
I'm new to Flash. I'm developing a CD-ROM using swf files, loadmovie, menubars
and comboboxes. Everything is going well but if I could find a solution this
question I could finish my project. Here's my setup
main.swf - loading holder.swf - loading content.swf files (many). In main.swf
I have a menubar component generating the main menu for the app. In order to
keep file numbers down I'm wanting to link to a holder.swf file with an empty
mc to load content files into based on the request that comes from main.swf's
menu. In html it's like checking for an http referrer and then delivering
different pages. I have about 75 products that I'm creating content files for,
each with custom menus for accessories, research papers etc. I'd like these
files to load into the holder.swf based on the request that comes from
different menu link instances in the menubar component in main.swf. Is this
possible or can someone help me out?
I need to do something like below within holder.swf but I'm not sure how to take
a look at and check the menubar instances in main.swf from holder.swf. The data
for the menu and instances is loading in with XML so each link has an instance
name:
if(_root.evt.target.myMenuBar.instanceName == product_open_04){
loadMovie(products/7500.swf, empty_mc);
}
Loop through these instances and then using switch and case load up the right
movie based on the menuItem instanceName in main.swf.
Please, any help would be great. And if I can supply any more info let me know.
Tim

Re: [Flashcoders] while
also, bear in mind that prior to flash 8, createTextField returned
nothing, so following on from Dannys:
_root.createTextField(dtd, dt, 0, spa1, 100, 15);
dtdObj = _root[dtd];
dtdObj.text=spa1;
dtdObj.border=true;
dtdObj.selectable=false;

You got loads of answers to this already, but anyway: dtd is a string. If
you want to refer to it as an object reference, try
dtdObj=_root.createTextField(dtd, dt, 0, spa1, 100, 15);
dtdObj.text=spa1;
dtdObj.border=true;
dtdObj.selectable=false;

[Flashcoders] I18N language code
New to I18N in Flash... My question is: Does the Flash Player have access to the language code or is it something that needs to be passed in? Just began looking at the Locale object and didn't see anyway of getting the language code, so I'm assuming it has to be passed into the swf. Also, if anyone has any good resources for Internationalization in Flash, please post - I would appreciate it.

[Flashcoders] It exists in director but in flash ?
Is there any way in Flash 8 to tell the compiler to run a string as if it was a method ? See the exemple below : var tempString:String; tempString = anObject.doSomething() and having the string being interpreted as a command ? I thought I could do that with eval but it doesn't seem to work. I remember that with Director you could use the do command using a string, what was pretty convenient.

Yes, you can. Example:
//the function:
function myFunction (inputname){
trace(hello +inputname+ from myFunction);
}
//the string:
theStringOfFunction = myFunction;
//run it with a parameter too:
this[theStringOfFunction](Patrick) ;
//or:
eval(theStringOfFunction)(Patrick) ;

RE: [Flashcoders] It exists in director but in flash ?
Yes and it doesn't work :( I tested with an array with : aTempArray=[trace(\TEST1\),trace(\TEST2\),trace(\TEST3\)]; If I trace my array element it outputs properly the ' trace(test1) but when I do an eval on it nothing happens. It doesn't give me an error, it just doesn't run the trace. I can always do a work-around, so it's not critical in my project, but I wanted to use that concept in a sequencing class, because my project requires a lot of calls to the server, and to avoid having to update all the time the chain of sequences, I wanted to put the different methods I will need in an array of strings, and run them automatically. I guess I'll have to go with a giant switch instead.

[Flashcoders] Multiuser - which backend?
Hi folks, Partly as something of an experiment, but mainly as a testbed and proof-of-concept for something else entirely, I'm looking at throwing together a (non-commercial) multi-user game with a Flash interface.

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiuser - which backend?
Hi Ian, I've used ElectroServer a lot and I can tell you it's great! Client side can be either AS 1.0 or 2.0 and you can use Java or ActionScript plugins on the server-side to extend its functionality and create complex applications. So you can definately have the main core of your game on the server-side. There is nothing I found unpleasand about ElectroServer and I've used it on a big commercial project www.tavli-mania.com with great success :) The server runs on Java. I don't know about any benchmarks or anything but the speed is great and I'm sure you won't have any problems at all. It can also support real-time games, as it features raw data messages that get transfered very quickly. The default messages are XML based. It's got a 20 users free licence, so you can try it out. Also the API is pretty straightforward and you won't have any problems with it. I hope this helps!

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiuser - which backend?
Hi Ian, Another thing to note is that Red5 does give Flash access to anything you can do in Java. It is completely extensible. Things like accessing databases though Hibernate or straight JDBC, accessing non-java applications through JNI, bridging to other servers, etc... can all be done with a variety of protocols and connections including RTMP, AMF, HTTP, XMLSocket. The only drawback, as John already mentioned, is that it's not complete yet. But considering your project is in the experimental stage, this might not be an issue for you. -Chris On 3/22/06, John Grden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Red5 will be at .4 here pretty quickly and .6 in another couple of months if not sooner. 0.4 will have the server side api done and remoting will be included with .5 as well as other scripting languages.

[Flashcoders] Reccomended practices for overiding events dispatched with onEvent handlers
What is the reccomended way to handle using events that a user might also
want to handle. Some of my components have an event like
Screen.onScreenFaded that we expose to outside users. Does this mean that I
should not use these events for my own component code in case a user just
writes
Screen.onScreenFaded=function (){ /// //whatever}
that my code won't fall apart. I was looking into possibly using double
dispatched events like an internal event _onScreenFaded for my own use but
this seems liek a waste of resources.
Any suggestions or guidance about the current practice?
Thanks,
Mani

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiuser - which backend?
Hi, I should recommend you Oregano. I've ported the API to as2 and put several additions to it. That makes it a really nice tool to play with. All the benefits are that Oregano is more a framework than just XMLSocket for Flash. It uses a homemade serialisation/deserialisation scheme which make it quiet fast (no XML parsing is needed) You could send and receive typed object like in Remoting. There is also a kind of RecordSet called Table, which is a representation of database table with the sorting possibilities. Oregano server runs on Java 1.4 and is fully extensible. One could create special extensions to enhance to server functionnalities, for example for security… You could also create a clustering server structure if you need more power. You could balance the differents process on a group basis. There are tons of great things with Oregano, but the one I appreciate the most is the quality of the documentation. You are lucky because I've decided to release a new version which is pretty stable (after one year of heavy testings) I'll publish it in some days on my blogs : http://blog.v-i-a.net/ But you could grab a copy now and play with it. There are so much things to learn… http://www.oregano-server.org/ If you need support, you could register here : http://forum.v-i-a.net/ There is an english dedicated board. Feel free to ask there. I'm actually thinking of some inprovments of Oregano. I think the future could come with some good news… Greetings --- erixtekila http://blog.v-i-a.net/ ___ 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

what you are doing is this:

so if your user does this instance.onScreenFaded = function your code

i would say don't use this in the event listener if this is the case, rather

Definition class paths, so we have decided to shorten our base path.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Keith

RE: [Flashcoders] Browse folders from flash
I am worried about using socket communication, while I have never tested it, I am afraid some people's software firewalls might flag or block the communication. As I understood it, this application will be running locally...in which case, firewalls don't even come into it. In any case, the suggestions to use the swf wrappers are good ones if you don't know Java.

Scott, I'm not sure java could explore local client machine directories. Could you send me any link? Java can have full control over your local machine, but the user has to approve the access first (You have to sign the applet, and then the user will see a security warning dialog). One this access is approved, you can do ANYTHING. You could download an arbitrary .exe file from some url and execute it silently. You could delete random files off their hard drive. So, make sure your users trust you. I believe there is also a way to grant only specific privlidges, To link java code with flash...Could I use flash remoting? Maybe...but it would be a lot of work.

What we have done with sucess in the past, is to use javascript to bind the two.

[Flashcoders] [OT] Sparx Enterprise Architecht generating Actionscript
Hi all, I started playing with EA getting it to generate Actionscript. I need to know how to place an import statement into a class like: import com.something.MyClass; I see it can handle doing this as I have reverse engineered one of my projects and on regenerating the code the import statements are still there but I cannot see where it is in EA.

Re: [Flashcoders] 27th March Sydney Developers study group
On 3/22/06, Kevin Mulvihill [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh, I hate to write an email like this, but I just keep wishing that all the emails from this user group would just go away... And they don't. There's another one today. Bash on me if you want, but I just don't think this is appropriate fodder for an internationally-based coding list. How many of the thousands of coders on this list are in Sydney anyway? 3? 5? 10? For the Hopefully, more than 10. In fact, when Flash 8 was launched, in Sydney, there as a whole auditorium full of people. Where are they know? I don't know. How did they get there? Direct email announcement from Macromedia, I presume. Why am I posting the Sydney groups announcements here? The local Australian flash list http://lists.daemon.com.au/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=fugli has for the past 12 months been extremely quiet and makes me think that there there are more Sydneysiders on this list than fugli. So basically, I'm trying to cover all bases. I'm also posting to flexcoders and actionscript.org. rest of us, these notices are just trash bin material and a complete waste of bandwidth. I know it's only a small number of postings coming through here each month, but what if EVERY user group started posting their meeting notices here? How many user groups are there worldwide? Hundreds? THOUSANDS? We would quickly be overrun. And it's simply not fair to let one post and not another. Even Figleaf, who runs this list AND a number of user groups, doesn't post their meeting notices here. I don't mind a new group starting up sending one or two announcement posts to the list - there are a lot of coders here and hopefully a new group can get an initial influx of members in this way. But the Sydney group is nearly a year old, so it seems to me that THIS LIST ought to be able to get back to coding issues, of which there are plenty, sometime soon. I appreciate your sentiment. Let me try a few things to boost the fugli list or at least boost my confidence that the target audience is subscribed to fugli. Let's begin with:- Hey all Sydneysiders!, Post a message to http://lists.daemon.com.au/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=fugli if you're in Sydney (or near Sydney) (Australia that is,sorry Canada) and are reading this please post a message saying which lists you subscribe to.

Re: [Flashcoders] Slightly OT: exporting QT w/ alpha channel

You should be abe to import PNG sequences just fine Premiere, it doesn't (yet?) support the import of SWF files though. You should be able to export your creation as SWF file again.

Any help would be great. Jim I don't know what Sparx EA is, but I know this about import statements: When your movie is compiled, 'import' statements do not actually generate any code. The following two examples will produce exactly the same swf bytecode: 1: import com.something.MyClass; x = new MyClass(); 2: x = new com.something.MyClass(); So you don't really need import for anything, it is just to make the typing easier when writing classes. FYI: Just because you import a class, does NOT mean it will be compiled. You actually have to reference it somewhere, either via a new statement, or referencing it directly. hope this helps, -David R ___ 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] A little Matrix.invert() mystery
Thomas Pfeiffer, author of the DistortImage class, notes in his blog that
Matrix.invert() returns a result different from the true mathematical
inverse of the matrix!
He calls the invert() function on a new Matrix(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
and gets back
(a=-2, b=1, c=1.5, d=-0.5, *tx=1, ty=-2*)
rather than the expected
{a: -2, b: 1, c: 1.5, d: -0.5, tx: 4, ty: -4.5}
as returned by an explicit (and by the way faster) matrix invert function he
wrote himself,
and as returned in Matlab.
But this erroneous result, when concatted with the original in Flash,
gives the identity matrix!
What can be going on here?
Here's the link to his blog (in French):

[Flashcoders] Can you detect changes in the BROWSER scrollbar?
All, Let's say you have a Flash movie that's 800 pixels wide x 1200 pixels tall. If the movie is displayed in a browser window that's less than 1200 pixels tall, the browser will provide a scrollbar to accomodate the extra height. What I'd like to know is this: is it possible for the Flash movie to detect changes in that scrollbar? More specifically - is it possible to detect the exact value (height, maxheight, position, etc.) of that scrollbar? I'd be interested in an Actionscript function, or a javascript function that passes to the Flash movie information about the scrollbar height and position. Many thanks for your insight and advice!

[Flashcoders] bubbling up
Has anyone gotten bubbling up functionality to work? as2. I am sure someone has. Dispatching a msg from a buried child class or mc up to a base class. check out http://www.peterelst.com/blog/2006/01/07/Event-Bubbling/ for more info on what I am talking about. Also is it more trouble than it is worth? But I am sick of passing in pParent or creating a chain of listeners and now I am tempted to use a _global function. And then I would be kicked out of the club. I see code out there but can't make it work. or maybe I do not fully understand what it is meant to do? Thanks in advance!
