Re: [Flashcoders] converting/printing swf to eps
I am actually writing the eps in windows with the adobe's driver, and it works fine...I would like to do the same in linux, any idea?, do you know if ghostscript could be use as a printer to do the output to an eps?... GaB Ron Wheeler wrote: Ghostscript. Adobe's postscript printer You can write the eps manually (define some useful macros and the actual generation becomes easy) Probably XSLT would do the job as well. It really depends on what you want to do with the eps files and whether it is important to use eps at every step. If you have some control over the client side it gets easier. Otherwise you need to send data to the server and let the server create a new eps. Where do the eps files get used? ROn Gabriel wrote: I've already said what I need to do, pick a premade draw, and allow the user to change the blanks to color, like in a paint app for kids, and then export this to an eps, that simple is the idea. The queries must be received by a server ( a custom app?), or I'm missing something... You said, a lot of tools to create outputs, to eps? can you name one? thanks GaB Ron Wheeler wrote: Who is receiving the queries? This sounds like a server side issue. There are lots of tools to create output on a server. Why are people changing the colors. Does this get done for each print or is the color changed once and requested from a server. It might save a lot of time if you actually described what you want to do in enough detail so we can get to the right solution in the next 4 or 5 weeks. Ron Gabriel wrote: hi Ron, I already have it done this way. A postscript printer in the server, and it works like a charm. But the problem is how to receive a lot of queries for printing with an automated app...any idea? thanks GaB Ron Wheeler wrote: Can you not just use a postscript printer under windows to create the file? If you download the Adobe generic PostScript driver, set the output to file and to be eps rather than PostScript and you should be able to print your Flash to eps. Ron Gabriel wrote: Ok, I'll try to put it simple. I have researched about the eps, I opened it, changed it, and I see where are the paremeters I need with a few problems(like identify each shape to apply different color), but if you want, forget the eps input. The point is: 1 - I Have a swf with a drawing inside and 2,3,4 colors divided in movieclips by color. 2 - I need to open this swf with my app, let the user change the color of each mc (at this point, everything is fine) 3 - give the user an eps with the result. end of workflow. simple uh? :P GaB. Ron Wheeler wrote: I am having trouble figuring out the flow. What does the Flash application actually do? If the drawings already exist on the server and have to end up on the server,... What does Flash do with the EPS file? Why EPS at all? How do the EPS files get created. What do you want to do with the resulting files? Have you edited an eps file with a text editor to see how they are constructed? They can include vectors and raster images. Depending on the program used to create the EPS, it can be full of crap and unused macros which make them hard to pick apart if that is what you want to do. You can certainly create eps files by tracking the user inputs and writing the PostScript to a file. It is a bit like SVG without the XML. You can create your own macros to make the process easier - which is where all of the crap comes from in an EPS file created by MS-Word (to pick on one vendor unfairly). Make a Hello World document and save it. It will be a lot longer than 11 characters but you will find Hello World in there somewhere. In the early days of DOS, I wrote a little short PostScript file that created fractal images if you sent it to a Postscript Printer and let it run all night. Looking back I must not have had a life then, I guess - the kids were small and we were to tired to go out. Ron Gabriel wrote: Ok, sounds good, but I don't see clearly how to convert my already drawn eps/whatever into commands so can rewrite a svg an then save it. I can make instructions for writing the svg, but I have the drawings pre made. GaB Ron Wheeler wrote: You can send an XML file of drawing instructions to the server and use XSLT to do anything that you want. a) You can convert it to SVG or EPS. b) You can convert it to your own vector format c) You can hold onto it as an XML and redraw it in your Flash program later d) You can convert it to a raster image e) You can do all of the above and more. SVG is the most flexible format since it is both an XML file that can be transformed using XSLT and a recognized vector drawing format that can be edited using drawing programs. It is also relatively easy to construct by tracking the user activity on the Flash side(move, draw, draw, draw,move, draw...) Check the Batik site and open an SVG file in a text editor to see what is inside.
[Flashcoders] XPath, apostrophe, XPath's escape chars?
Hey everyone, I need to search an XML via a string that may contain apostrophes. ex.: var sDesc:String = XPath.selectNodes(_xml, //[EMAIL PROTECTED]' + sReleasedLabel + ']/@writeup)[0]; Is there a way to escape the apostrophe? The problem is that the sReleasedLabel, which contains Chinese New Year '06, is thought to end at ... Year because of the apostrophe. I've tried / and \ as escape chars but they don't work.

Re: [Flashcoders] dumb xml question
Chris,
How can i get the innertext of an xml node of type 1 (without doing
toString and stripping the xml tags) in flash mx (not 2004)?
nodeValue doesn’t work on type 1 apparently… returns null…
Loop through all the child nodes of your node and concatenate the
value of the text nodes...
var nodeValue:String = ;
for (var i:Number = 0; i node.childNodes.length; i++) {
var child:XMLNode = XMLNode(node.childNodes[i]);
if (child.nodeType == 3) {
nodeValue += child.nodeValue;
}
}
trace(nodeValue);
If your question is how to get the equivalent of innerHTML then
change...
if (child.nodeType == 3) {
nodeValue += child.nodeValue;
}
...to...
nodeValue += child.toString();
Hope this helps!

[Flashcoders] Components and load order
Hello Flashcoders!
I recently joinde the list and hoped to find the answer to some
questions that bother me, hope they aren't to boring or stupid :-)]
I wanted to ask - how do you handle components in relation to load
orde? I recently developed a combobox that doesn't work with one load
order, but does work with the other, I sisuepc this is happening
because the clips within it are not available when the movie is
loaded in a certain order. What should I do? Establish the linking to
the clips within an onEnterFrame handler instead of the constructor?
For now I initialize my components like this (I do not inherit the
UIComponent):
class MyCombo extends Widget {
function initWidget() { // is a constructor delegate, gets called
only once
// code to init the movie clips forming the parts of a combo
}
}
Can someone point me to a good read on how to handle different load
orders when building components? (ideally I would like my component
to work with both top-down and bottom-up).
Articles on component lifecycle on the Macromedia site are a little,
ehm, incomplete.

There is no such way, as an object or variable has no knowledge of which references exist to it. MovieClips are hierarchically defined, with no cycles, explicit knowledge of parent and children - normal objects are not, and thus you cannot do this.

For instance you could create a method, with took data and data.item[3].description as arguments, and returned the string item[3].description, as this is where this object is found. But otherwise no.

Re: [Flashcoders] Active X and Microsoft IE ...
I wholeheartedly recommend using Flash Object for embedding Flash into HTML. Yes, it means those with JavaScript disabled will get the 'alternative version', but in all honesty, in these days of AJAX and standards-compliance, people who disable JavaScript are in the tiny minority. The benefits (customisability, compatibility, upgradability etc.) of using Flash Object greatly outweigh the disadvantages. I'd love to see Adobe recommend the use of Flash Object over the current standard of an ugly combined object and embed tags. On another note, it's actually considered good practice to have JavaScript create any 'active content', that way the code falls down gracefully and those with non-capable browsers get an alternative view. Just my opinion! Paul. On 10/04/06, GregoryN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Last year I worked with a client's employee, who had both javascript and cookies turned off.

These things combined means that people who turn off Javascript are more than likely well aware of the consequences of this action, it's not just Flash that's effected. It's pretty much any plug-in and any DHTML site. Almost every site on the web uses Javascript now in some form or another.

[Flashcoders] AS2 slideshow question
So before I start with the question, I'll throw out there that yes, I am rebuilding a wheel here that has probably been done 100 times over, but client wants this built and is paying for it, so there it is... Now to the question. I have created a series of AS2 classes to handle the functionality of a basic slideshow (fwd,back,pause/play,rewind), and it's for a designer (non-technical flash person) who is making each individual slide as a separate swf, with an audio file (mp3) that goes with each slide. The client desires the capability to monkey with the slides and audio files without recompiling the main swf or the AS2 classes, so I have written it such that it pulls slide and audio data from an XML file managed by the client and based on that file, just uses a movieClipLoader and loads the sound files together on the load method. Issues are that there has to be a preloader on each slide to handle the dead air, which I don't like, not to mention depending on connection speed, it's just downright flakey. My thought is just to have the designer create all the slides as mc's rather than swf's and put the slide mc's and sounds directly in the library and preload the whole shebang once at the front end. Obviously, this will remove the ability to edit slides and audio files without recompile, but for user-experience sake, I'd lean toward that method - using attachMovie and attachSound rather than movieClipLoader and loadSound. Any thoughts?

I propouse to add some script in javaScript for detect the version player but the WebMastersofCompanyX dont let me insert any code outSide the movies. How do I explain to myContact all the advantages of the use of flash 8 instead flash mx 2004?, or maybe will be better still using MX2004, MyContact has to explain to ContactofCompanyX for convince him and use flash 8.

RE: [Flashcoders] Linked font from class
Hello Michael, While I have never used an embedded font for a dynamically generated text field before I have had luck with dynamic text fields themselves created during authortime. Your code seems OK from what I see. The steps I take. 1. Create the shared font symbol. New.flaw/in LibraryNew Fontright-clicklinkageExport for ActionScriptRuntime Sharing etc. indentifier = name linkage = URL Save Export Close. 2. Create file that will use above font next file open as shared library (open the shared font .fla) drag the fonts from shared.fla into working .fla w/in Library right - click linkage import for runtime sharing identifier = same as above linkage = same URL. Test it and it should work. I have a tech-note from Macromedia I will try and find as well. As mentioned this works for me but I have yet to try it with RunTime generated text fields. Please see my next post on this same subject and see if you may be able to point me in the right direction. broD ___ 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] Linked font from class
Hello Michael and Ivan, I posted a thread similar to this yesterday with no reponse so Ivan I was hoping you may be able to clarify a few things and Michael this could prevent major headaches in the future. I have about 150 .swf's' all sharing the same Font Symbol. Everything works great when the files are in the same folder as the HTML file, and mainLoader.swf file. However I need the HTML file to be two directories up. When I do this and make the appropriate coding changes everything still works but the Font gets loaded in now every time a new .swf loads. This defeats the whole purpose, slows down load times, increases bandwidth and memory usage. Ivan I read through your component's documentation and it appears to address some of these issues but are you familiar with another work around. I am assuming you are as this would be the motive behind building the component in the first place. I have to publish by next Monday and do not want to go through and change all 150 files if it can be prevented. Your component may be a solid answer for the next project but can you give me and Michael advice on how to avoid / remedy this reloading issue. Any thoughts would be appreciated. broD ___ 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] Active X and Microsoft IE ...
Preamble: This is not gospel, this is not majority, this isn't anything by my opinion :) In the past, I've had mixed experiences with MM/Adobe's site for help. Most of the time, I honestly have to check for the last revision date to make sure I'm not reading something that's 2 years old. There have been times that I've found the answer there, but the vast majority of answer come from blogs these days. What's cool about the blog entries is I can get to the author right away with a comment or email and I usually have the benefit of other comments which might not only clarify the blog's post, but actually offer another reference. That and I now have 5+ other people I can email about the post and get help from them. So, my initial reaction to why don't I go to adobe first? is that it seems kinda narrow and not nearly as complete. Often the searches just didn't bring back what I was looking for. And just to say it out loud - yes, I continually try the adobe site JUST incase the answer is there. I do, however, go to live docs frequently just to see if other people have posted comments on the subject I'm after. After I've looked everywhere else, I go to FlashCoders ;) The theme here is the benefit of other people's reactions/comments to an article are invaluable. The funny thing that happens sometimes is that i get better search results using google.com that include pages on marcomedia.com/livedocs rather than the google search on the MM site. I couldn't answer why, but maybe it's just because I get my answer out there - who knows. Maybe its the indexing - no clue. / my2Cents On 4/10/06, John Dowdell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Stephen Ford wrote: What happens if a user doesn't have javascript enabled in their browser for the recommended Macromedia solution (see link: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html) to this whole Active X debacle ?

RE: [Flashcoders] combobox big problem
when i delete them (i try to delete the mc container and the components) and re-create them (to delete some items and re-create the list), or just change the dataprovider a strange thing happens: Why don't you just delete items from the dataprovider? The components are made to respond instantly to changes in the data. Meaning, you don't need to re-create them to show changes, they fire events automatically when you change the data. That's the whole point of having a dataprovider. ___ This e-mail is intended only for the named person or entity to which it is addressed and contains valuable business information that is privileged, confidential and/or otherwise protected from disclosure.

I actually think that the problem was that Adobe was too quick to respond. They've had a solution up since the first round of worry hit this forum.

[Flashcoders] Effects in Flash
Hija! I am working on a Flash website which should support to change the background based on a specific section. Now I want to make the website using events/AS2, and such. Somehow I am staring blind on something, hopefully anyone here can advice. I can tell it's a stupid question, though. Anyway my question is how can I construct some sort of way that make it possible to switch background easily? I have implementation now which call displayBackground() which makes the movieclips require such as as the empty movieclip for the background image, and the background animation. The problem I currently have is that this works fine when loading the website, but when I want to change it later on it fails totally. Because it wired up in construction-animation of the website. Meaning: background - navigation - content. Each time I switch background this happens again i.e. the navigation animation, and such. I don't want that... Anyone got some advice on it? I just don't know it at the moment. Greatly apperciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] Active X and Microsoft IE ...
I don't know if this falls in line with the whole law suit or not, but it just seems so obvious to me that MS should implement a checkbox next to the dialog when you're allow ActiveX content that says [x] Always allow this Active X type or [x] Always allow flash content (the same way you get that checkbox when you first ever use IE and it tells you about submitting information across the internet). Would make life much easier for everyone if this were an option. On 4/11/06, Bill Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I actually think that the problem was that Adobe was too quick to respond.

RE: [Flashcoders] Effects in Flash
Hi
If I understand correctly I think you need an extra mc at the bottom
Prev background - navigation - content
New timeline - navigation (depth 2) - content
timeline - background (depth 1)
Yes, It might be a good idea to explain to current code base a bit. It's
mainly based on simple version of the MVC. I happen to have a
SiteController, and SiteView class which handle all the stuff of the Flash
website. For example, I have a displayBackground()-method in the
siteController which triggers a similar method in the siteView-method. I
hooked up some addEventListeners to the SiteView instance. It listens to
the events: navigationStartEvent, navigationCompleteEvent,
backgroundStartEvent, backgroundFadeInitEvent, backgroundCompleteEvent.
The events get triggered from the approriate associated movieclips which
get created at run-time in the SiteView class. Now when I load the website
I construct the SiteModel class, which will load the xml file with the
news and other stuff I need. Now when this XML file has been succesfully
triggered it will dispatch a event called dataAvailableEvent. This then
triggers the method createBackground:
private function createBackground() {
trace( createBackground() );
background = createBackgroundContainer();
background._x = 0;
background._y = 0;
siteView.displayBackground( background );
}
Now as you might expect the SiteView will do the rest of the job, i.e.
attaching the movieclip for animation, and make the empty movieclip for
the image. After this animation has been done this also will raise a event
called backgroundCompleteEvent, this again will trigger the
createNavigatio-method etc. You get the drill. Once this all is done, the
applicationInitiatedEvent will be dispatched this method will then try to
find out which page is needed based on the URL. If is not known it will
the trigger the default button, via: btn_home.onRelease(). This will
then load the content, which currently cause a infinite loop ;-)
Function changeBG( bgMC ) {
// unload previous bg
// load new one
}
Yes, but then I would need to make some sort of flag to ignore posting the
backgroundComplete-event in the Sitecontroller-instance. Probably it's a
easy way to solve this problem, though. Maybe I should just sned some
parameters a long with the creaeBackground-methid i.e. AppStart.
Maybe I should just sleep over it! Any suggestions are apperciated, maybe
my current design sucks.

RE: [Flashcoders] Effects in Flash
There seems nothing wrong with the process you describe.
What seems to be the current problem though?
Is it that the navigation keeps rebuilding infinitely, or is it when the bg
changed the nav crashes as I understood before?

Re: [Flashcoders] flash file to recognize SESSION or REQUEST variables?
To get data into your swf, you will want to use the FlashVars embed tag. This can be done very easily with FlashObject ( http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/ ), in fact it appears that FlashObject will automatically pass your request parameters (the attributes on the end of the URL) into your flash movie. Now, I don't quite follow what your client means in their first URL, where they have some PHP code. If that is meant to be PHP, then that's fine, and FlashObject will ensure that your SWF has variables p, m, dcwid and udfo2 available on the root timeline. If he's just saying you need extra URL parameters passed to the server, well, that's nothing to do with flash. Regards, Grant Cox Sunnrunner wrote: A client asked me this question.
