Re: [Flashcoders] MDM Zinc, 2.5, minor 15, 16, exit() error?
Martin, I'd suggest thinking about rolling back to an earlier Zinc version. It may fix the problem. It seems to work okay in version 14, if that helps. We have terrible trouble with Zinc's new releases. Each new release seems to introduce a new bug, breaking old features which have been working fine up to this point. For example, versions 15 and 16 stop Mouse.hide() working, whereas up to this point it's worked fine. Their quality assurance is extremely poor, to say the least; this is the third time I've had something like this happen. I really should migrate to some other product; but unfortunately busy time schedules mean that I haven't had the time to investigate the others in any depth. As an aside, does anyone know offhand (and preferably has anyone tested) if any of the other swf2exes support the following: 1) DirectX resolution setting of the screen mode on PC 2) Execution of external files and return of the textual output Thanks, Ian On 6/19/06, Martin Weiser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: well, thanks, i need it very fast, will try the supprot, but it will take some time...

[Flashcoders] dot matrix gameboy style
Been playing around recently with upscaling lowres bitmapdata to make large-pixel graphics, eventually for a game engine of some sort, but the pixels tend to be blurred around the edges when scaled up. Anyone know of a fix to sharpen their look? In addition, anyone know of any techniques for pixel graphics in flash using the bitmapdata object? In particular i'm curious about drawing and animating sprites in them. My games are already code/graphics independent, so the ish for me now is finding a good bridge of sorts.

RE: [Flashcoders] dot matrix gameboy style
You need to essentially code your own BitmapDataSprite class, but it's not a very big deal. I have a fairly speedy library for BitmapData-only animations with multiple autonomous Sprites manipulating/existing-within a Bitmapdata Stage class. Writing your own event stack to create the various control loops is key here. There's a Boolean prop to the BitmapData which controls the smoothing. Can't remember the name off the top of my head, check the docs... also making sure the Bitmap is located on an integer X,Y loc is a good idea. Placing it at _x=11.5;_y=20.1; will blur it a bit.

RE: [Flashcoders] XML named node values
AS3 will do this when it's available. It's in the new ECMA specs. Besides Xpath, you can also download other third party classes other people have created which will convert your XML object to an Actionscript object you can traverse with dot syntax: JimsName = myXMLdoc.people[2].name Personally, right now I like Xpath.

[Flashcoders] FLVPlayback progress event listener
I have a feeling I'm missing something incredibly stupid...
I'm having problems with my FLVPlayback progress event listener -
everytime I test it, it pauses, then the the event is called once, and
my FLV starts playing. My code is as follows:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.progress = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace('progress');
var percent = introflv.bytesLoaded/introflv.bytesTotal;
trace(percent);
};
introflv.addEventListener(progress, listenerObject);
Shouldn't it be calling progress more than once? The docs say it's
called every .25 seconds.
Thanks,
Sarah

Re: [Flashcoders] Can't reach boolean?
Are you loading a SWF or using attachMovie? If you are using attachMovie, the value isn't ready until a frame later. Use onEnterFrame or some other mechanism to cause a delay to read the value. If you are loading the movie, make sure to use the onLoadInit event of MovieClipLoader so that the code within the first frame of the movie has enough time to run, setting up the value. If you are loading it is it coming from a domain other than that of the main SWF? Let me know, the questions branch out if this is the case.

Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback progress event listener
I am really just starting to do video stuff, so i'm a little
clueless.. I believe it's a progressive download. And the code doesn't
seem to be being executed repeatedly, as the other flv events are
behaving themselves.
The FLVPlayback component is sitting on the timeline, and the
actionscript is on the timeline as well, on the same frame#
The full code I have is:
stop();
skipintro._visible = false;
introflv._visible = false;
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
gotoAndPlay('main');
};
listenerObject.ready = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
introflv._visible = true;
preloader._visible = false;
skipintro._visible = true;
introflv.play();
};
listenerObject.progress = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace('progress');
var percent = introflv.bytesLoaded/introflv.bytesTotal;
trace(percent);
preloader.progressbar._xscale = percent * 100;
};
introflv.addEventListener(complete, listenerObject);
introflv.addEventListener(ready, listenerObject);
introflv.addEventListener(progress, listenerObject);
introflv.load(DRIVERSPLASHLg.flv);
The events ready and complete are behaving as expected, progress is
the only one that's misbehaving.
autoplay is set to false, buffer time is set to 20 sec.
Is there anything else that could be affecting it?
Thanks,
Sarah

Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback progress event listener
From the help ... Event; dispatched at the frequency specified by the |progressInterval| property, *starting when the load begins and ending when all bytes are loaded* or there is a network error. Default is every .25 seconds. So my guess is that you are testing this locally... loading an FLV file that is on your computer. If so, what you are seeing is the expected behavior. Since the video file is already on your machine, it loads instantly and the progress event will not fire once the video is loaded. Try it with a file that is on a server somewhere and you will see what you are looking to see. -Steve From: Sarah Plowright [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback progress event listener To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I am really just starting to do video stuff, so i'm a little clueless..

I am testing locally, although I assumed that since you can test other progress loaders locally this would work - now that it's uploaded - the progress bar is sort of working (at least it's called more than once), but the ready event isn't triggering properly... it'll show the first frame of the video, but it won't play for 30 seconds or so.

[Flashcoders] Vars between game levels
Hi, I am developing a Flash Game of 4 levels (click to see level4http://www.heliospb.net/jogos/Game_Peste_Attack_Fase4.html - 180kb with no preloader). As each level will be in separate swf files, I have created a base swf that loads the levels in a holde mc, ok. The problems started when I lost performance when doing that, what forced me to find a new solution. I tried so, to use Shared Objects to keep the vars (points, level, energy), but it can´t be read by different swf. So, I tried using an empty swf, and use LocalConnection to send vars to it. It worked in sending the vars, but didn´t when I had to load those vars from other swf, I just had succes sending them, not loading. Any idea of how to solve this? Can be about what I tried or any new idea. I am worried cause I need to finish the game as far as friday, and couldnt solve this.

For a quick fix, you might try storing your values as _global variables, since those values do not get reset when loading additional swfs. For example, if you store the var _global.currentScore, and then do a loadMovie on the current SWF, you can have the incoming SWF check _global.currentScore and the var should still be there. -- andy makely ___ 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] Sort within an object
is Track an array? Track is an object. Why would it be an object? Unless I don't get what you're trying to do (which is possible) Track should instead be an array, containing objects, as in my example. AKA a named element array.

[Flashcoders] Applying transformations to text?
Hi All: I'm bringing this question over from flash-newbie at the suggestion of the list. I'm looking for insight into applying transformations to text (or vectorized text) such as Adobe's warp functionality, where you can take an object and make it bulge, arc, squeeze, spherize, etc. in flash. Is it possible, or has anyone already done it? The goal would be to have an interface where a user could input a line of text and then apply one of several distortion effects to it.

like to use an external libraryitems.swf too. I have something like this
now, but it's using all sorts of 'linkage hacks'. Like the library has en
exporter clip, which i import in the main.swf and then i can use
attachMovie('linkageIDFromLibrary'...etc.
I was awondering what the status was of these kind of setups. Is working
with an external assets library swf still a pain in the * or are other
solutions already being used? I am trying to stay clear of solutions like

Re: [Flashcoders] Sort within an object
There is some confusion here. These two different statements you have made
don't add up.
In your first post you sited the example:
Track[1][score]
Track[2][score]
Track[3][score]
Track[4][score]
Track[5][score]
These are nested arrays.
But in the code listed here you have the line of code:
if(_root.puz[track][table + t][score] == tempScores[i])
This code would trace out something like...
// _root.puz.track.table1.score
This is indeed an object tree.
Since it looks like you actually are building object trees, I would suggest
you look at using a Bubble sort.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort
The version sited here is a bit less elegant than the recursive version, but
it works just the same.

Re: [Flashcoders] Programmatically build a crossword puzzle board
Hi Charles, I don't know how others would take a swing at this, but this is what I would do: First, define your boundaries. You're making a crossword puzzle, so that would be a matrix with a specified width and height. Next up you'll want to add words. Grab your nearest dictionairy and pounce in those characters. It might be best to store those in a library-class of some sort. Or perhaps an external txt- or xml-file. Then comes the tricky part: write the algorithm. I guess the following steps should be implemented in the algorithm: 1. choose a word 2. set some variable to 'horizontal' or 'vertical', perhaps even 'diagonal' 3. try fit the characters in some empty place in the matrix. 4. if it fits (maybe overlapping an alrady placed word), hurray! - if not, continue until you've tried all spaces, then dump it and get another word. 5. goto 1 Now if you're not happy with the result, run the application a few hundred times. Either that or you might want to add a little more magic to the algorithm and shuffle/sort the words to spaces where the overlap other words the most. I hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck!

Re: [Flashcoders] Programmatically build a crossword puzzle board
Thanks for the reply Bart, Yes, I have indeed gone through the process you described in my Word Search game. But things are a little different for a cross word puzzle. 1) Words can only be placed either vertical (top to bottom) or horizontal (left to right). We are talking about English only words. 2) To make a proper crossword puzzle every word MUST cross at least one other word. To be even more specific all the words need to be tied together, meaning no floater group(s) of word(s). 3) ANY adjacent letters must build a word. The brute force method you have stated could potential break after only a few words. One idea I had was to do the following 1) Sort the word list by the longest to the shortest word (since longer words will be harder to place) 2) Select word to be placed 3) Enter the first word at a random location 4) Select the next word to be placed 5) Recurse backwards from the end of the word and do compares against letters the placed word and the next word. 6) If a match is found, try and place it. 7) If the word exceeds the bounds of the board then skip this matching location 8) If no matching location is found which allows the word to me placed, then skip it (actually goes to a holding array) 9) Go to 4 The interesting thing about this approach is if the recursion comes across another crossing word, it should run down that branch of the board as well. I am still mapping out the logic for this method, but was hoping that someone here had tangible knowledge or could point me to some. Again, any help is welcome. Charles P.

Re: [Flashcoders] Programmatically build a crossword puzzle board
Hi Charles, I once created a crossword in Flash about 2-3 years ago. http://www.electrotank.com/playGame.electro?gId=111 Building a randomly unique board from a list of words I found to be way too difficult. My gut feeling was that even if I found a way it would be too slow to generate. In my research I learned that there is a standarized format for crossword data. You can download and/or purchase crossword generating programs. Some of these export out to that standard format. That format contained mostly XML data. I had to open up the data file and just copy out the XML. I wrote a parsing routine in ActionScript that interpreted the data. The end result was 100 XML files for 100 unique crosswords. About 50 of them I purchased from a professional crossword guy that does them for the Baltimore Sun. About 20 of them my Grandma made by hand :) And the rest I generated with one of those programs I described. All-in-all the game works well, but its probably the least popular game on our site!

I have been trying to learn the basics of UML for the past couple days or so by assembling a class diagram for a hypothetical Contact Manager--although it may not stay hypothetical if I can learn this properly ;). Unfortunately I am experiencing a bit of confusion in regards to properly communicating class hierarchy between associated / aggregated classes. Here is the (very simple) diagram that I made thus-far: http://www.aerosdesign.com/jsorensen/store/uml/uml_diag_a.jpg Basically, I have three classes -- the Account class being a composition of the Contact and Address classes. (I think) Here is my question: When I say that class X is a composition of class Y and class Z, is this because X has properties that are defined AS _TYPE_ Y and Z? My logic to place the Contact class and the Address class as composing elements of the Account class is simply because the Contact class have defined properties OF TYPE Contact and Address. Is this correct? If this is the case, I will be glad to hear that I am doing things correctly. However, a new source of confusion then emerges for me; say, for instance that I wanted to have an Array of contacts for any given account as opposed to just one. I then replace accContact:Contact with accContacts:Array. Here is the updated diagram: http://www.aerosdesign.com/jsorensen/store/uml/uml_diag_b.jpg The relationship between the Contact class and the Account class is no longer explicit--but I still want to convey that the accContacts array will be populated with instances of Contact. How do I now communicate this relationship? Would this be an association now? See this diagram if you are confused: http://www.aerosdesign.com/jsorensen/store/uml/uml_diag_comment.jpg A sincere thank you to anyone who took the time to read and attempt to understand my post; I apologize if this is slightly outside the scope of normal list discussion. If this is not an appropriate place to ask this sort of question, I would be very happy to hear about an active UML mailing list or equivalent alternative. :) Thanks for any assistance, Joseph ___ 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] Best component set for Flash 8 / MTASC development?
I'm trying to locate a good component set for my application. I'm sure this topic has been discussed before, but I've searched the archives and haven't found what I'm looking for. My requirements: I don't mind paying for the component set, on a per-developer basis. I must come with sourcecode that I can compile with TASC. The component set should cover the basics: I need comboboxes, radio buttons, scrollbars, numeric steppers, scrollpanes, dialogs, and so on. I'd like one complete set of unified components, rather then getting a combobox here and a numeric stepper from somewhere else. They components *must* respond to keyboard control. For example a combobox should respond to up-arrow key when the list is pulled down. They need to support tabbing and should have an indicator that shows when they have focus. I have a tab controller, the component simply needs to accept focus and update itself visually. It needs to handle onKillFocus events. I'm targeting Flash Player 7, edit my .fla in Flash 8, and compile with MTASC. I've looked at several components sets: 1) The Macromedia V2 component set isn't working well for me. There are a number of undesirable behaviors I can't fix. I won't go into detail here, as I'm guessing folks know what I'm talking about. 2) Many people have recommended http://ghostwire.com on this list. The components are written in AS1.0, but apparently compile fine under MTASC. They don't seem to respond well to keyboard control. For example the combobox does respond to up arrow keys. From the FAQ, the components do not support tabbing (focus management). So unfortunately I don't think I can use these. 3) Folks have had lots of documenation and support problems with mCom (http://www.metaliq.com/mCOM/). I don't have time for that. 'nuff said. 4) I've been trying out http://www.xpcomponents.com/. They don't have an eval so I coughed up the money to buy them. They seem to have great keyboard control and autosizing features. They seem to work fine, but it has the feel of an abandoned project. There doesn't seem to be much of a user community, and there haven't been any updates in awhile. They sent version 3.0 when 3.1 is the most current version. Worst of all, I've been unable to get the sourcecode, so I can't compile under MTASC. Anyway, this might work out, but for now I'm actively looking for alternatives. 5) There are a lot of components at http://www.flashcomponents.net/. But I haven't found the comprehensive component set that I'm looking for. It seems most of the components on the site are from 2002-2003. So does anyone know of a component set that works well, and meets my requirements? - Todd Hivnor ___ 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] Vars between game levels
Thanks for the idea Andy, I´ll try that. Adam, I know it´s strange. What I do in the base file is to define the 4 vars I need, create the sound objects - one for each level plus one for the base screen, and the screens to be showed before entering and while exiting each level. It works online and the performance problem doesnt happen all the time, but only when I move the player. But this doesn´t happen when I am running it directly on it´s html. A strange fact is that it takes too much time to export the swf, what doesn happen even in the levels files. It´s a pitty, cause I don´t have time to keep looking for what´s wrong and using a base swf is perfect for this game.

Re: [Flashcoders] Programmatically build a crossword puzzle board
Jobe, Thanks for the e-mail. It was insightful. Crossword puzzles are all over the place and making them for game sites and the such is indeed not worth the effort. With that said, I work a e-learning government contractor. I am building a number of generic games that can be used to re-enforce learned information. The crossword puzzle is just one of many. Having it generate dynamic boards at runtime is critical to its use. I should probably note that I am looking at having a max of about 15-20 words on the board at any one time. Building a full board of words would indeed take a very long time. The boards I want to dynamically build can have a large chunk of dead space on the board. Think of it as a list of words learned in a chapter and the crossword puzzle is a re-enforcer for those words when you reach the end of the chapter. So, building compact boards is NOT a concern.

Re: [Flashcoders] Any Lists Specific to Flash Game Development?
I would like to point people to this list as well. I is a very good source for talking about game development Flash and Director. This list covers both tools fairly. Not like some snobbish Flash lists I have run across. This comment is not meant to start a flame war or anything. I just want people to know it is an open minded list that covers both without bashing the other. Charles P.
