Re: [Flashcoders] How to remove indent for LI with CSS?
why don't use the same server side script language?

Get rid of the li in your AS code.

Hello Josh,
Thanks for your reply.
The matter is that I HAVE to use LI as same text is used by
alternative non-flash versions.
All text data for this application is stored in DB .
When someone comes to see it, a script (SWFObject and some
server-side) checks if this user have proper flash player installed.
If not (or if this is SE), they will see HTML version.
And, as the text for this HTML version is taken from the same DB
records, it is preferably that I use LI for list which is standard/SE
compliant way to go.
This is why I am stick to using LI, not just any bullet.
More suggestions?

Hello all,
I'm trying to remove indent for LI elements in html textfield (MX

In normal HTML/CSS we can just write:
li {margin-left: 0;}
Seems in Flash this indent for LI is hard-built-in, at least I can't
find a way to get rid of it.
I'm not considered dirty tricks like move all textfield to the left
and set 'margin-left: X' for all non-LI elements... so far.
I'd appreciate any help in this issue.
Thanks in advance.

RE: [Flashcoders] maxDepth for dynamic movieclips?
Well, I think the max depth is a 16bit integer, so the max would be 2^16 about 64k. But when you reach that I think the client will run out of memory ;) But lets say you would like to do that, you could also have a few holders that all start at depth 1: mainMovie: - holder 1 @ depth 1 - holder 2 @ depth 2 - holder 3 @ depth 3 Holder 1 (@ depth 1 in the main) - image 1 @ depth 1 in the holder 1 - image 2 @ depth 2 in holder 1 Etc... -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens grimmwerks Verzonden: donderdag 1 juni 2006 15:41 Aan: Flashcoders mailing list Onderwerp: [Flashcoders] maxDepth for dynamic movieclips?

Maybe if you have engough clients you could use a dedicated server for all your clients with a maintenance contract so you don't have to do everything yourself ;) But Yes Red5 needs java. You can do something like this with php-sockets but then the hoster will have to set safemode off (because of the runtime limit) and you will have a permanent running script.

[Flashcoders] Where to politely and appropriately discuss pricing issues
I' read years ago that directly asking pricing in a public forum is gauche and a good way to get a good flame going. At the same time I quoted someone a price the other day on my first attempt at freelancing and I could hear their jaw drop and knew I low-balled my hourly. The problem is that I have no idea what I should be pricing at with my level of experience and am not sure the polite way to invite a conversation on this.

RE: [Flashcoders] maxDepth for dynamic movieclips?
I've got an app that's a glorfied slideshow, slowly adding mc's and gettingNextHighestDepth() -- at some point I'm assuming it will get to the maxDepth; So at max depth you're going to have 16,000 movie clips?

Re: [Flashcoders] How to remove indent for LI with CSS?
Josh,
Well, I like this one:
var txt = txt.split('li').join('#249;');
Thanks a lot!
Enrico,
your solution seems good too. (maybe add a comma after 2nd argument :-)
However, for some reason I feel better about client-side (flash)
code...
Again, thanks for both of you.
While not with CSS, seems I've got a solution.

Hello Josh,
Thanks for your reply.
The matter is that I HAVE to use LI as same text is used by
alternative non-flash versions.
All text data for this application is stored in DB .
When someone comes to see it, a script (SWFObject and some
server-side) checks if this user have proper flash player installed.
If not (or if this is SE), they will see HTML version.
And, as the text for this HTML version is taken from the same DB
records, it is preferably that I use LI for list which is standard/SE
compliant way to go.
This is why I am stick to using LI, not just any bullet.
More suggestions?

I'm not considered dirty tricks like move all textfield to the left

I'd appreciate any help in this issue.

Re: [Flashcoders] Alpha fade problem
So, the following script will cause a MC to fade in. What would I change to make a MC fade out? You could use the alphaTo property of the tween class. It's much easier.

var txt = txt.split('li').join('#249;');
If your HTML might have /li tags, don't forget to remove them from your
string. Technically shouldn't matter (they should just not display,
right?), but I'd do it anyway.

I agree with Nick Weekes' suggestion that any pricing info should include the country. I would also suggest that we break it down a bit further - by region. I recently moved from Connecticut to northern Virginia (Washington DC area) and have found that even within the US the pay scale from one region to another can be significantly different - and so can the cost of living. ___ 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] Cross domain policy file issues
How do you deal with cross domain linkin issues? In the Flash 7 and 8 security model, a cross domain policy XMl file is required to use getURL to access other domains outside the domain the .swf is on. So let me get this straight, the file doesn't go on the server hosting the .swf, it goes on on the server that is being linked TO. Correct? This bites, but how do you guys get www.amazon.com to host your cross domain policy file? Seems impossible. Isn't this a big hassle that's almost not worth pursuing? Or with Flash 7 and 8 players, do you just never reasonably have the ability to link to most other Web sites?

Manuel, if it's ok I'd like to answer this more in depth once I have access to my notes.

Re: [Flashcoders] create an object of type defined with a string
This actually works:

test = makeObject(Array)
test.push(foo)
test.push(bar)
trace(test[0])

Re: [Flashcoders] cool bitmapData api
Hey guys gals I am looking for a few examples of cool uses of the bitmapData api Not only fancy but clever practical examples too Any links would be greatly appreciated :) The most 'practical' approach would be of storing loaded images as BitmapData to allow reuse (and smooth bitmap use!) of them I think. It's 'invisible' but a very welcomed feature imo. You will find a lot of cool examples and tests that were done when Flash 8 were released though. These links probably have everything you could think of: http://franto.com/blog2/collected-links-to-maelstrom-examples http://www.flashguru.co.uk/maelstrom/ I particularly like the simulation of OSX's genie effect on www.gringo.nu too, but I'm biased :) - 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] use of embedded font = blank text?
http://devqa.exnis.net/vanclarke.com/www/test.html Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here? What you can't see on that test page is the questions, which are being pulled in with identical code, but have been set to use an embedded font. Here is my code: q_mc = content_mc.createTextField(question+i, content_mc.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 385, 20); q_mc.autoSize = left; q_mc.wordWrap = true; q_mc.antiAliasType = advanced; q_mc.embedFonts = true; q_mc.selectable = false; // assign text format defined above q_mc.setTextFormat(question_fmt); q_mc.text = questions[i]; If I comment out the embedFonts line, the text is visible. I have tried embedding different fonts, different font weights, different linkage names, htmltext vs text and so on. The text is currently being pulled from a list, but testing with straight text has the same effect. I am using this same code to pull text into the swf that this swf is loaded into, and it works fine there.

else's work.
I would like to look up some documentation for this syntax (it doesn't
have to be AS, it could be some other OOP language - if this is a standard
option that I haven't seen before)... or at least get a description of
why/how it works (other then the obvious - that it does).
Also, can anyone give any good reason to use this syntax?
I'm just confused by it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Weird OOP ability... Need a description of why, or at least some documentation
Hi Drew,
That's just type casting. See my email of a few days ago.
It's actually redundant in the example you provided, because the
compiler already knows that it's a MyTestClass object. You could
replace it with:
var myInst:MyTestClass = new MyTestClass();
myInst.runTest();
If, however, for whatever reason you had some code like this it would
make sense:
var myInst:SomeSuperClassOfMyTestClass = new MyTestClass();
MyTestClass(myInst).runTest();
Assuming runTest() is defined on MyTestClass but not its superclass,
the compiler needs to know that myInst is actually of type MyTestClass
before it'll let you compile the line of code calling runTest().
HTH,
Ian

I would like to look up some documentation for this syntax (it doesn't

why/how it works (other then the obvious - that it does).
Also, can anyone give any good reason to use this syntax?
I'm just confused by it.

This actually works:
function makeObject(tType){
var tVar = eval(tType)
return (new tVar())
}
test = makeObject(Array)
test.push(foo)
test.push(bar)
trace(test[0])
trace(test[1])
trace(test.length)
Output:
foo
bar

Re: [Flashcoders] create an object of type defined with a string
Danny,
Out of curiosity, why do you need a function that returns an object of a
type passed as a string? It's a neat idea, but I'm scratching my head as
to
where one might apply it.
I've been hitting some memory problems when using Director's newObject()
function, which creates a new object inside an embedded Swf. Because the
object is unnamed, I have no way to destroy it in the Flash movie - it seems
to go somewhere in the global space. So instead, I'm making my own
tempObject function, which creates a new object in an array pTempObjects in
the Flash movie. When I've finished working with it, I run a
clearTempObjects() function to flush them out.
So I have this function:
function tempObject(tName:String) {
var tObj:Object = new Object of type tName
pTempObjects.push(tObj)
return tObj
}
Now Director can call this function, get a new temporary Flash object and
work on it, then tell Flash to do something with the object (eg, setting the
properties of a TextFormat object before applying it to a field), and then
finally clear it out.
More detail than I think you wanted, but since you asked :)
Danny
