[Flashcoders] loading a symbol (library item) into a new movieClip?

RE: [Flashcoders] loading a symbol (library item) into a new movieClip?
hiya - i want to have a movieClip symbol in my library of items, and then create an instance of this on the stage. is there a function to do this? Have an instance in your library and export it for actionscript. Let's say the name you give for the export is symbol The you could use: attachMovie(symbol,myNewSymbolInstance,getNextHighestDepth()); seems odd the programmer has to do this work... simply: clip = mc.createEmptyMovieClip(); would seem to be adequate... ? No it isn't because when you would assign another var to clip the movieClip will still be on stage but with no reference. What you could do is: var n:Number = mc.getNextHighestDepth(); var clip:MovieClip = mc.createEmptyMovieClip(movieClip+n,n); Now all clips will have a unique name, because the depth number is attached.

Re: [Flashcoders] private constructors in AS3.0?
Hi,
I've trying to create singleton, and the best way i've fund is to create
the instance direcly in the class declaration
private static var _oInstance:MyClass = getInstance();
And to check if constructor is called in code I do that :
public function MyClass ()
{
if (_oInstance == null)
throw new IllegalOperationError (MyClass is a singleton, and an
instance allready exist. Use getInstance to get a reference to the
instance);
}
In that way an instance is automatically created and every call of the
constructor will throw an error. If you don't want to have an instance
at start, but only when getInstance is called it's a bit less proper :
private static var _bInstanciable:Boolean = false;
private static var _oInstance:MyClass;
public function MyClass ()
{
if(!_bInstanciable)
throw new IllegalOperationError (MyClass is a singleton, and an
instance allready exist. Use getInstance to get a reference to the
instance);
}
public static function getInstance ():MyClass
{
if(_oInstance == null)
{
_bInstanciable = true;
_oInstance = new MyClass();
_bInstanciable = false;
}
return _oInstance;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts : method with 2 files seems faster that method with 1 file
2- Works with faux bold and faux italic. Excuse my ignorance, but what is a faux ? Fake Bold or Fake Italic, i.e. when the font itself doesn't include any italic or bold versions of the letters/glyphs. Won't the render be ugly ? Like device fonts No. Faux bold and faux italic are the equivalent of pressing the Bold and Italic buttons for a textfield in the Flash property inspector or applying myTextField.bold or myTextField.italic via actionscript. A lot of fonts do not have special versions of the font specifically for bold versions, italic versions and bold italic versions. So basically, if I take the font Arial (not the device font _sans) in a textfield and use myArialTextField.bold, I'm basically using faux bold. If instead I use Arial Bold which is a separate font, that's real bold. No faux fonts in one lib shared font technique. I wonder in the other btw. Well, from what I can see, using the 1 SWF file per shared font method, Flash only exports the complete font set (or only selected glyphs if you use SWFmill) and not the additional info (with the added file size) to render the font in faux bold, faux italic, or faux bold AND italic. That makes perfect sense. However, it means that you cannot use mySharedFontTextField.bold or mySharedFontTextField.italic when using the 1 SWF file per shared font method (the method developped by Zarate and you). So I guess that using this method, if you wanted a font to display normal and bold, you could only use a font that has a separate version of the font for bold (like Arial and Arial Bold, which are 2 separate font files) and include both fonts in the shared libraries. If you want to use some crazy font you founded on the Internet which has no bold or italic version, then I think there's no way you can make it bold since this method doesn't support faux bold or faux italic. The shared lib isn't loaded twice. You just have to wait for a delay frame, in order to use it. That's all. Actually I'm pretty sure it does load twice but I'd be glad to hear that I'm wrong. Let me show you what I mean. Download the zip file found on Zarate's website here : http://www.zarate.tv/articulos/shared_fonts/files/Zarate_Shared_Fonts.zip Unzip the files. There will be a couple of folders that show how to use the 1 SWF file per shared font method but the simplest example is in the folder called Sencillo. In that folder, open the file index.fla. This file USES the shared library. So now, export (CTRL+ENTER) the file index.fla in the Flash IDE, then make sure you can see the bandwith profiler (View Bandwidth Profiler) in the Flash debug player, set your download settings (View Download Settings) to 14.4K so you can really view what's going on and then start the process by clicking on simulate download (View Simulate Download). Now, closely monitor what's going on in the bandwidth profiler. If you look closely, you'll see that the SWF file that contains the shared font that is being loaded (the file is called quadaptor.swf) ... well it's actually being loaded twice. The file is only 7K but you can clearly see that the 7K get loaded twice (from 0% to 100% ... two times). So that's why I was king of leaning forward the 2 SWF file per shared font methods used by Ivan and Bernard because even though there are 2 files instead of one by shared font: 1) You have total control over which glyphs are included directly in the Flash IDE without having to use a 3rd party tool like SWFmill. 2) You CAN use faux bold, faux italic and faux bold italic provided that you included them (with the added file size of course). 3) The shared SWF file that gets loaded is only loaded once which is the way it should be. Once again, these are the conclusions I've come to after testing both methods so I would like to hear other's comments on this. If I'm wrong about something here, please let me know. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[Flashcoders] flash to detect/play files in a folder
I am working on kiosk project that will be updated dynamically. Is there way to have flash detect what is in a folder before I have the shell play through the sub files.

The project is dealing with kiosks in hundreds of locations and some locations will be playing different file then others.

Re: [Flashcoders] BitmapData GlowFilter zebra effect?
Thank you for the reply. I tested it using your suggestion, and it seems to behave properly if I use MovieClip.filters instead of using applyFilter. However, since I want the end result to be a bitmap (for animation purposes), I wrote a little workaround code... as follows: // draw bitmap 1 var glowFilterMC = parentMC.createEmptyMovieClip(glowfilter_mc, parentMC.getNextHighestDepth()); var glowBmp = new BitmapData(targetMC._width, targetMC._height, true, 0x00); glowFilterMC.attachBitmap(glowBmp, 1, auto, true); glowBmp.draw(targetMC); // apply glow filter with knockout var filter = new GlowFilter(0xFF, 1, 5, 5, 5, 1, false, true); glowFilterMC.filters = [filter]; // draw bitmap 2 var outlineMC = parentMC.createEmptyMovieClip(outline_mc, parentMC.getNextHighestDepth()); var outlineBmp = new BitmapData(glowFilterMC._width, glowFilterMC._height, true, 0x00); outlineMC.attachBitmap(outlineBmp, 1, auto, true); outlineBmp.draw(glowFilterMC); // dispose of bitmap 1 and its holder glowBmp.dispose(); glowFilterMC.removeMovieClip(); Quite a few more lines of code than the original method, but hey.. it works. -Danro On Jul 8, 2006, at 10:21 PM, John Grden wrote: Have you tried just applying the filter to the movieclip that the bitmapdata object is attached to rather than using applyFilter?

For some reason, when I programatically apply a GlowFilter to a BitmapData object, and pass inner = false, with knockout = true, I get this bizarre zebra effect I've provided code and a link to a side by side comparison screenshot. Here is an example of the code I am using: var filter = new GlowFilter(0xFF, 1, 5, 5, 5, 1, false, true); myBitmap.applyFilter(myBitmap, myBitmap.rectangle, new Point(0, 0), filter); Following is a screen shot of the issue. The left side is the result when simply using the GlowFilter without passing inner or knockout, and the right side is the strange zebra effect I get when I use the above code. http://download.danro.net/flashcoders/glowfilter_bug.jpg Has anyone else dealt with this? -Danro On Jul 7, 2006, at 3:29 PM, Dan Rogers wrote: Hi gang, I am trying to invert the alpha channel of a BitmapData object and destructively apply it to another bitmap using copyPixels. Has anyone inverted an alpha channel on a bitmap? I assume use applyFilter with ColorMatrixFilter, but I am not very swift in figuring out the correct color matrix settings to use.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash8 JPEG, JPG Image Jitters on zoom, _xscale

[Flashcoders] setInterval and loadMovie
Evening, I'm having a brainfart here. I have a movie that loads separate .swfs into a clip called holdGallery_mc. All of the .swfs are simply different slideshows (reads from xml, images files on server, preloader for each image, pan image vert or horz depending on size, etc.). Anyway, the core for all the slideshows to work is a setInterval script reStartSlides = setInterval(startSlides, 4000); Here is my problem, when loading the the .swfs into the main movie, the first one naturally, is ok. But when I try loading another .swf to replace the current on, the old .swf is gone but its interval is still alive and kicking. What, what?! What is happening? ___ 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 is happening? setIntervals continue to be running even when their original movieclip is deleted, unloaded, or otherwise removed. It exists on some kind of global scope. Always clearInterval your intervals. It's the only way to make them stop. - 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] BitmapData manipulation. Mirror effect.
Hi, I'm trying to manipulate a BitmapData, but am slightly lost, so any input on how I could manage would be greatly appreciated. What I need to do is to make a mirror image of the BitmapData and leave is as one single BitmabData. What I am trying to do is something like this pseudo code: bd = new BitmapData(100, 100); // Assign data to bd bdMirror = new BitmapData(100, 100); // copy bd into bdMirror // turn bdMirror (so that it is like a mirror image of bd) // merge bd and bdMirror into one BitmapData which should be 200x100 I have tried, but the documentation has me a little bit lost, and I can’t find any specific information.And if you only have time to write down only one of the steps, I still would appreciate it, as I'm sure others could possibly help me with the other steps.
