Re: [Flashcoders] \r
Remove an empty string from the second statement. Is it also expected? Well, it seems inconsistant, but it's not really unexpected. Without the empty string both hard returns are appended to the end of the previous line, which isn't technically correct, but makes sense in context. With the empty string there is an empty line (your new line), so a line feed is used to go to the next line. Hard return ends a span of text by breaking to the next line. Line feed passes over an empty line without moving the cursor, which is why a hard return (a.k.a. a carriage return) is needed at the end of a span of text. It's old-school logic based on how it would render on paper. If you used a line feed without a carriage return, the proper way to render it would be to move down one line without moving to the first column. Without the empty string, though, there is no new line to pass over, so the html kluge is to simply hard return again. ryanm ___ 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] Flash 8 Debugger Crashes
Dan and John, Thanks for your help. I took a look at the Xray video tutorials. It seems like a great data inspection / manipulation tool, and I will definitely use it on future projects. Nice work John. It doesn't have all of the functionality that I require from an interactive debugger, though, so I can't really use it as a substitute for the Flash debugger. There is no way to set a breakpoint or pause code execution, so there is really no way to use it, for example, to debug issues during object model initialization; examine the transaction data of a transient data set returned from a web service; or trace the flow of control through a series of object instances. Most of the Flash I work with tends to have these characteristics. I have been working on a different set of classes within my same project today, and was able to successfully use the Flash 8 debugger without a crash. That indicates to me that there is a specific bug in the Flash 8 debugger that is triggered by specific code within my project, because when I'm working in this other area of my code I see reproducible crashes. Now to figure out precisely what triggers this bug. I'll report here if I determine the cause. Thanks again.

Re: [Flashcoders] HashMap?
Bernard Poulin wrote: If you can not tune a HashMap it will be worse than an ordinary array. It will take more space and more processing time. This will of course depend on the size and usage - it *may* be more efficient with hashmaps. Do you really think we can generalize being it worse all the time? I will not be far wrong. If your primary allocation is to small, many array keys hash to the same spot and you have to search a long linked list. It is is too big, you waste a lot of space. It is not trivial to increase the size of the allocation dynamically since you must rehash all of the entries. Keeping an array ordered to be able to do binary searches can statistically cost a lot of copying at insertion time. You are only adjusting links unless you want a balanced tree. Binary searches may involves a lot more string comparison. In a binary search comparing the string hash value is of no use to know if the value is greater or lower (to decide for the next search direction). In hashmaps, the lookup in the chain after the hash jump can, most of the time, skip a string entry without even looking at the characters by comparing the 32bit integer hashes. String hashes are only useful for looking up a specific value. It is unlikely that the hashes are even stored since once you store the key/value you no longer have any need for the hash since the position in the main table is known and you can follow the links in the overflow back to the main table(usually). If you are hashed into the overflow, you have to examine each key since the hashes are identical for everyone in the list (otherwise they would not be in the list - they would be in another list of collided hashes). About Arrays (this is more than slightly OT) :-) I still believe Arrays are implemented as associative arrays. But this is just pure belief since I have no proof and it could easily change from one version of the VM to the other. Associative array is not a physical description of the implementation. It describes the logical way that an Actionscript programmer finds the value associated with a key. The implementation of Array probably involves a fairly simple linked list of key objects that point to value objects. Whether the keys are linked as a tree structure to speed up access is an interesting question which was raised earlier. var a:Array; a[0] = 'abc'; a[123456789] = 'high index value'; a[this is text] = 'non-integer index'; trace(a.length); /// should output 123456790 Sidenote: I often use this feature of Arrays to make an ordered associative array in one single object. This may look a bit like a hack - but it is perfectly valid. I can both traverse the keys in a fixed custom order and lookup one item with its key directly. Also you can retrieve quickly how many items there are using length. For example, when inserting a new entry, I do something like: a[key] = value; a[a.length] = key; I would really like to have insights into the flash VM implementation so I could do better choices regarding maps and arrays.

Hi list, I didnt do anything with DataGrid or CellRenderer till now, so i need little help I make DataGrid, parse XML data and display them in DG. but in description column, i got text, which can be short or longer is it possible to change row height of given row for datagrid to write whole description to row (for longer description there must be 2 rows for that item (hopefully it's clear), or it must be CellRenderer? Till now, i can change only rowHeight for all rows from DataGrid 2nd problem - I need print this DataGrid, I can do this with PrintJob class, but in a case that that list is longer 2 or more pages, i want print it in a way - header list footer - header list footer - etc... must i create own Movieclip for each page, or does it exists easier solution?

Re: [Flashcoders] How to serialize key events?
What kind of object do you need to save?
The nice thing about this approach is that you can create any object
that you need and put it in the queue.
If you only need a list of buttons pressed, you can have a very simple
object. If you need to include internally generated events, you may need
an object with more properties.
You do not even have store the same type of object each time as long as
you can figure out what object is being returned when you ask for the
next one.

Ron,
Thanks very much for your response. You asked What is wrong with this?. Probably nothing.. Just lack of experience on my part. The class is now actionscript. I'm trying to figure out what's the right kind of Object to pass to the insert(obj:Object) method. Thoughts?
Thanks!
The class:
class Mailbox {
private var numMessages:Number = 0;
private var mailbox:Array = new Array();
public function insert(obj:Object):Void {
trace(Mailbox:: Insert)
mailbox.addElement(obj);
numMessages++;
// notify();
}
public function remove() {
while (numMessages == 0) {
try {
//wait();
} catch (e:Error) {
}
}
var obj:Object = mailbox.firstElement();
mailbox.removeElementAt(0);
numMessages--;
return obj;
}
public function numobj():Number {
return numMessages;
}
public function flush():Array {
var array:Array = null;
if (numMessages 0)
array = new Array();
while (numMessages 0) {

mailbox.removeElementAt(0);
numMessages--;

The code is pretty simple. Have you tried to code and test it under

It looks like you add objects to a list and take the first one off the
list. It provides a function to find out if there are any objects in the
queue. What is wrong with this?

and the flv isnt found. it crashes both the ide and the player. does it

[Flashcoders] Shared object not saving off cd-rom?
Hi list, Does anyone know if there are any gotchas when trying to save a shared object from a flash application running off the cd-rom? I have developed a large e-learning application that runs off the cd-rom and uses a shared object to automatically store all the player info and state. It's already been done and dusted, or so I thought... And I tested the SO saving over and over, both from the hard drive and off the cd-rom. The client has sent this cd-rom to a number of reviewers, and one of them has reported that the player's data isn't being saved. When they leave the game and go back to select a player, they don't have any saved players in the select player section. Nobody else has reported this problem, but these reviewers are not using anything special. Their reported system stats are: Windows XP SP2 w/all current patches, 3 GHz Pentium 4, 1 GB RAM The CD-Rom was developed using Flash MX2004, using a standard Flash projector for the executable. Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 Debugger Crashes
gotta love gmail ;) here's the rest of the email... while, it doesn't pause the player (only the flash debugger with the debug player can do this btw), it DOES do everything else the flash debugger does and a ton more. You can look at any complex object at runtime, you can send that object to Xray's trace ( _global.tt() ) and it will recursively trace out the entire object. Likewise, you can inspect any object in the property inspector AND change it's properties at runtime. If that wasn't enough, you can run actionscript using the execute/trace window - actionscript not compiled with the swf, but that you write and run using xray at runtime. Since I can't pause the player and do debugging the way you've specified, I've basically abandoned that way completely and found other ways (using xray) that work prefectly well. In fact, I've never felt at a loss not being able to use break points - though, if I had that ability, I'm sure I'd enjoy using them. With xray's trace and runtime tools, I've never felt handicapped at all. I do wish they'd open up the ability to use breakpoints with external debuggers. I wish Xray could be the tool that met your needs the way YOUR used to debugging. Who knows, maybe they will with Flash 9 - we can only hope ;) JG On 5/16/06, AJ Canepa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dan and John, Thanks for your help. I took a look at the Xray video tutorials.

[Flashcoders] Multiple FLVPlayback problem
Originally posted on OSFlash.org list, sorry to double post, sent to
wrong list.
Hi all,
I am working on several projects that have very large videos (1-2 hours)
that need to be delivered on CD-Rom Intranet. After trying to use one
large video file I realized there is a large problem when seeking to any
point in the video in that It has to buffer itself up to the point you
wish to play on these large videos that can take quite some time.
This led me to chop the video up into 2 min chunks write a segmented
video player so they play as one video. This is working great on most
machines but on the occasional Windows 98 machine it is crashing when
initially grabbing the flv's.
I think the problem is that when initializing the component it is trying
to load all the flv's at once.
Does anyone have any insight into this? Is there another segmented video
player about?
Here is the class:

[Flashcoders] Scrollpane Movement
I'm knocking up a quick scrollpane(needs to be small filesize) and I'm having a '20 minutes till home time moment'... To work out the amount to move the content I have it as: ratio = contentHeight - trackHeight; theContent._y += pixelsMoved * ratio; Where track is the slot the scroll bar moves up and down in and content is the MC I'm putting in the scroll pane. What haven't I thought of or what am I doing wrong. Right now the content shoots off screen. I'm still debugging but I thought I'd put this out there incase someone has the equation needed to hand.

Re: [Flashcoders] Runtime error
It seems the problem is that where you're using this code:
radio.loadSound(http://216.235.91.30:80,true);
is what is crashing it. You've got to be more specific about what it
is you're wanting to load, like http://216.235.91.30:80/yourSound.mp3
Flash can't load an entire IP. ;-)

[Flashcoders] Enabling DateFields´s textField ?
Hia List, I allready googled around and searched some forums but couldn´t find an answer. I´m looking for a way to allow the user to enter a date directly into the textField instance of a DateField V2 UI Component without forcing him to use the calendar that pops up as soon as you click on that field. The idea behind that is that I want to make it more comfortable for the user to enter dates that are far away from current date. eg. a User wanted to enter a pre-UNIX era date and somewhere in the 1990's he stopped clicking ;) Thanks for any thoughts, André ___ 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] Runtime error
We were told by Live365 that that is the best IP to use and that it resolves
to a single stream. The exported movie plays in Firefox, but the problem of
testing the movie in the IDE still happens and it doesn't play in all the
copies of IE we are running. The commented out code you can see shows the
previous URL for use.

Re: [Flashcoders] Runtime error
Right, I don't know if this is the best advice by any means, but when
a situation like that happens in the IDE and if it doesn't run in
certain copies of IE, you may want to reconsider using that
particular IP. It may be less of a headache in the short term and in
the long run. I tested it and, yeah, it just crashed Flash
completely. There may be other work arounds. Again, I would advise
finding a more specific URL for that stream if at all possible, but
I'm no expert.

Re: [Flashcoders] HashMap?
Funny, I was actually thinking of an implementation which would use a Java-style String objects. In java, all string objects have an int hash data member (computed the first time it is needed). In that scenario, only a portion of the hash value is used to make the hash lookup. The complete hash stays around since it is part of the String object and so can still be used to quickly distinguish strings. Also when rehashing you do not need to really compute new hashes - you just need to re-distribute them based on more bits of the complete hash. And yes, this is still heavier than re-balancing a tree. regards, B. Binary searches may involves a lot more string comparison. In a binary search comparing the string hash value is of no use to know if the value is greater or lower (to decide for the next search direction). In hashmaps, the lookup in the chain after the hash jump can, most of the time, skip a string entry without even looking at the characters by comparing the 32bit integer hashes. String hashes are only useful for looking up a specific value. It is unlikely that the hashes are even stored since once you store the key/value you no longer have any need for the hash since the position in the main table is known and you can follow the links in the overflow back to the main table(usually). If you are hashed into the overflow, you have to examine each key since the hashes are identical for everyone in the list (otherwise they would not be in the list - they would be in another list of collided hashes). ___ 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] Multiple FLVPlayback problem
one other thing, you might want to split up your video even more.. like

wouldn't be a problem then.

to refactor it a bit and add a little more functionality.. but it
works great!
I need to build in seeking capabilities and cuepoint capabilities..
other than that. it all works great. I am using with 2 - 5 MB files.
of about 2 or 3 files.. so total up those files and generally its
about 10 - 15 megs..
as far as preloading the flvs. what you need to do is start playing
the first one. then when you get a metadata event for that one. start
playing the second one, once you get metadeta for that one. add it to
total time and pause it.. it will still continue to download the flv
though... so basically you need to wait till one has metadeta.. then
start the next one. or you could come up with some other way of doing
this. but thats how I had to do it without killing the player because
of all the video loading. this way works great locally. over the net
it also works great but my files are considerablly smaller.

large video file I realized there is a large problem when seeking to any
point in the video in that It has to buffer itself up to the point you
wish to play on these large videos that can take quite some time.
This led me to chop the video up into 2 min chunks write a segmented
video player so they play as one video. This is working great on most
machines but on the occasional Windows 98 machine it is crashing when
initially grabbing the flv's.
I think the problem is that when initializing the component it is trying
to load all the flv's at once.
Does anyone have any insight into this? Is there another segmented video
player about?
Here is the class:
