[Flashcoders] import statement and accessing a class in AS3
In ActionScript 3.0, a class can be accessed just by the name of the
class without the import statement in a timeline.
// timeline: _level0
// frame action (ActionScript 3.0)
// import flash.display.MovieClip;
trace(MovieClip); // output: [class MovieClip]
On the other hand, a class cannot be accessed by its fully qualified
class name in a class definition.
// ActionScript 3.0 class definition file: Test.as
package {
// import flash.display.MovieClip
public class Test {
function Test() {
trace(flash.display.MovieClip); // ReferenceError
}
}
}
Are the behaviors above the specification of ActionScript 3.0?
Thank you,

[Flashcoders] AS3 - Missing
I have just read over this thread and want add my 2 cents in.
There are different ways to achieve your desired results without such
changes.
With the list of countries why not use a HashMap for related data;
var vo:Country = {className:Brazil};
// factory implementation
inst = new MovieClip();
var _rendererHashMap[UIDUtil.getUID(inst)] = vo;
with the reference to data object you should be able to apply what ever you
want!
Also,
Unless you can you can turn timeline editing off in Flash 9 I don't see how
sprite can be an option to extend.

Glad to hear that this will be supported. I am really surprised that
so far Marcos seems to be the only one here who thinks it's essential.
I think it would really be a step backwards without this feature.
Maybe the example Marcos used wasn't that obvious. But if we talk
about Component classes like CheckBoxes, Buttons etc., I would never
want to use composition over inheritance. And in the preview release
you wouldn't be able to assign a CheckBox class to more than one
MovieClip. So yes, I think that feature is essential.
It would also be great if that base class that you can specify is
permitted to only extend Sprite and not MovieClip. Even better would
be a new symbol type without a timeline for designing Sprites.

RE: [Flashcoders] Copy Paste into Firefox
Thanks Jim, I don't want to give you a false sense of hope here but copy and paste is working here for me Hmm... Me too. I'm at home now on a laptop that hasn't been used in yonks and has FF 1.0.7 on it. The machines at the office all have whatever the stable build of FF last week was on them. No worries, If it works in one version and not in another - it's up to you/theclient/company to decide which browsers you support. CTRL-INST works but SHIFT-INST Stupid question... um, what does this mean? With windows machines you can copy with CONTROL+C and CONTROL+INSERT and paste with CONTROL+V and SHIFT+INSERT... I was just using short words for the copy-n-paste keyboard shortcuts. link to your MC and lets take a look... My test swf has nothing more than the simplest TextField and components in it. I'll put together something to try and get feedback from the kind members of this list when I get back to work. This is obviously very important to my company and others considering this is an important part of many forms-based flash applications. I feel that flash e-commerce as a whole is affected by this if you have an issue, thus it's important for me to be aware if others have having said issue. Let me know what you find, please!

Re: [Flashcoders] Help: Confusion and Blue with Components
When you call gotoAndStop(), the player needs to first enter the frame where
mcParent is, this is why it works when you use onEnterFrame.
My technique for this has been to add a function call on the frame that the
clip resides in. I may call a function like Parent.init() on frame label
'TestFrame', or just init() and delegate the init function to a more
appropriate location:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
TestMC.init = Delegate.create(this, initTestMC);
function initTestMC(){
//this will be called when init() is called from within the movieclip
}
I hope this helps,

Dear list,
I have been trying to solve this problem for a good while, but I wonder if
anyone has a good way to get around it. Here is the problem (you can
download the related Flash at: http://www.acts.net/Flash/ComponentBlue.zip
I have created a component called Parent, inside Parent timeline I have my
designer to layout components Child1 and Child2, so I only have to do the
wiring.
So now I have put Parent in the movie timeline at a frame labeled
TestFrame,
so we have a structure liked followed,
TestFrame
+ Parent
- Child1
- Child2
For the ease of description, I have classes with the same name as Parent,
Child1 and Child2. In the timeline, the Parent instance is named as
mcParent.
So somewhere in a function I will write like:
function myFunction():Void
{
gotoAndStop(TestFrame);
trace( this[mcParent] ); // it returns _level0.mcParent
trace( Parent( this[mcParent] ); // the movieclip is there, but it
returns null }
Somehow I cannot get Parent as the Parent class. If I revise logic like:
function myFunction():Void
{
gotoAndStop(TestFrame);
trace( this[mcParent] ); // it returns _level0.mcParent
trace( Parent( this[mcParent] ); // the movieclip is there, but it
returns null
this.onEnterFrame = laterFunction;
}
function laterFunction():Void
{
this.onEnterFrame = null;
trace( this[mcParent] ); // it returns _level0.mcParent
trace( Parent( this[mcParent] ); // now it returns _level0.mcParent
correctly }
The similar problem exists in Child1 and Child2 inside Parent timeline. It
seems to me that the MovieClip is not converted to its associated class
until later time, so I have to split my logic into two different
functions,
whic makes the code look cumbersome and hard to manage.
A more detailed example of the problem above can be downloaded at,
http://www.acts.net/Flash/ComponentBlue.zip
Although putting components on the stage using attachMovie might solve the
problem, but I would like the designer to have the freedom to arrange the
components on the stage the way he likes, and attachMovie would take away
this freedom. I wonder if anyone has a cleaner way around this problem.
TIA!

RE: [Flashcoders] OT: Need math help
I wonder if someone would be willing to help me off-list with a math problem or can refer me to a more appropriate person/list to ask this question: I have a photograph of a rectangle where the camera was slightly off-center and not parallel to the plane of the rectangle, so in the resulting photo, the rectangle is slightly distorted. I want to distort the image by repositioning the corner points of the photograph so that the interior rectangle is precisely positioned and sized. 1) I know the size of the photo, 2) I know the coordinates of the rectangle's corners in the photo 3) I know the coordinates where I want the rectangle's corners to be after the transformation. I need to know the new coordinates of the photo's corners to achieve #3. Just an addendum to my previous email: I didn't think it through properly. My note about the affine transformations said it all: I forgot perspective. I don't have time right now to think about the full answer, which may involve a 4x4 matrix (in order to take into account the third dimension). But there's probably an easier solution.

Re: [Flashcoders] part of text is not visible...!
The only thing I can ask is if the textfield is wide enough in width to display all text. Flash 6 introduced the property TextField.autoSize making it easier to adjust dynamic textfields width at runtime to compensate for value text-width. However, Flash 5, TextField.autoSize did not exist. So Textfields created via IDE were locked to their predetermined text-width at author time. ___ 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

I need to know the new coordinates of the photo's corners to achieve #3. I don't know if you got the offlist answer you asked for, but it's probably a question worth answering on-list too. Basically what you need to do is to invert a transformation matrix. So you need to start by constructing the matrix M used to transform the original rectangle R = (0,-H,W,0) to the distorted rectangle: that is (using homogeneous coordinates (the kind used in Flash's own Matrix object)), M maps (0,0,1) to (x1,y1,1), (0,-H,1) to (x2,y2,1), (W,-H,1) to (x3,y3,1) and (W,0,1) to (x4,y4,1). This matrix *ought* to be given by: ( (x1-x2)/H (x4-x1)/W x1) ( (y1-y2)/H (y4-y1)/W y1) ( 0 0 1 ) I say 'ought' because if your camera has a non-parallel distortion, this matrix may fail to correctly transform the fourth point to (x3,y3,1). If that's true, there's no matrix that will work (all matrix transformations are affine, meaning they transform parallel lines into parallel lines). Once you have this matrix M, you can invert it to get M'(If you can't do that, I can explain how) and apply M' to the corners of your image to get your un-transformed rectangle.

Re: [Flashcoders] jigsaw puzzle piece algorithm
Hello Hans,
I would like to thank you in advanced for helping me this far.. I currently
have the jigsaw drawing algorithm in hand, yay! It's looks nicer now :D..
and it does 'blend' when it sticks to other pieces tightly. One good thing
is that I use the bevel filter and I thought it wont looked blended since
you have that filter around, but somehow it did otherwise and looked pretty
nice.. some 'fake' blending effect hehehe..
I've modified the group movement code and now it's moving corresponding to
the relation to the 'master' piece (piece the user move).. moving with
distance (not piece relation) was pretty buggy coz it (pieces in the group)
displaces as the mouse slightly moves away from the master piece. But
currently, with the new implementation, it still displaces.. the
displacements occur only to the master piece and it seems like because it
moves a little faster than the others which make it slightly not sticking
with the rest of the group. Very minor bug but still annoying.
Broadcast / dispatching isn't the right term for what I did in code, btw..
coz in pseudo all i did was:
piece.onMouseMove = function() {
for(i = 0; i piece.group.length; i++) {
piece.group[i].updatePosition(this);
}
}
group is an array located in each piece mc.. and since it's an array of
pieces, then this piece has the 'updatePosition' methode as well.. sumthin
like
piece.updatePosition = function(ref) {
//get the relation to ref, whether it's in the north, south, west or east
of it
//match the _x and _y property by ref by relation
//search for other pieces connected to ref if this piece isn't related
directly to ref
}
Now, this is where my latest problem spawns in.. searching for pieces
connected to ref is pretty damn hard.. it reminds me with A* algorithm,
which i'm not familiar of.. currently i iterate the methode if a piece can't
find a hierarchy connection to ref / master piece, and it comes that only 2
layer 'descendants' follow the master movement..
For example, in a 3 x 3 puzzle, if i move the center (piece_2_2), i would
get all pieces move together. But for, say, the top left piece (piece_1_1),
would only bring piece_1_2, piece_1_3, piece_2_1, piece_3_1 and piece_2_2.
the rest would be left behind..
any idea for this problem?
thx

Hi,
does it displace until you stop moving, or displace and screws it up
completely?
It sounds like either one of the updates you broadcast are not coming
through, or the updates are based on the wrong offsets. I assume that if
you
move a group of 3, the 2 that should be moved automatically ARE displaced
by
the same amount?
Just a shot in the dark here, but when you broadcast to the group, do you
skip the source of the event?
For example, normally in a group of 2, when you move one, you could
either:
1) move the one you moved and dispatch an event to the other
2) create an event and dispatch to the group
3) move the one you moved and dispatch an event to the whole group
the 3rd option clearly is invalid, since one piece would be moved twice.

[Flashcoders] Flash Remoting on Flash 8
Hi, I'm having a problem regarding Flash Remoting on Flash8. I've already posted a question before on this group, but received no answer that solved the problem (I'm hoping there is one that does :) ). Is there a way to isolate connection level errors and determine its type (HTTP10, HTTP500, etc) in Flash Remoting for Flash 8? I did this in Flash MX 2004 Pro by defining an onStatus callback function in a Connection object that was shared in all Service objects. When a connection error occurred, this callback function was called with an object that had several properties indicating the kind of error it was (much like the one returned on PendingCall). Apparently in Flash Player 8, though the function is still called, no object is sent to it, so I have no way of knowing what kind of error happened. I scanned through the Connection class definition and discovered it extends NetConnection. I tried to use that instead, but the same thing happens so I'm assuming it's a player 8 thing as NetConnection is an intrinsic class. I scavenged the Net for answers and tried all the suggestions to no avail. Used _global.System.onStatus, _root.onStatus and none of them worked. I'm starting to get a bit desperate as I absolutely need to know this info to indicate to the user what happened. Anyone can help me? Please?

RE: [Flashcoders] Abstract classes in AS3?
Hi,
Regarding:
-
2) Have methods which are not attached to specific class instances.
That's a bit like static methods no ?
I was incomplete. I should have said, Have *bundled* methods which are
not attached to specific class instances. That is, I want to be able to
have groups of static methods. Static classes are how this is currently
accomplished, but if we can't have private constructors, there's no way
to prevent someone from (pointlessly) instantiating a static class.
Can methods be attached to packages in AS3.0? If so, that might help.
-
Yes, this can be done in AS 3.0. Note that the Flash IDE requires you
to name your .as file with the same name as the function so that the IDE
can find the definition.
// foo/bar/MyFunction.as
package foo.bar
{
public function MyFunction()
{
trace(MyFunction);
}
}
// test.fla
import foo.bar.*;
MyFunction();
You can also define functions in the unnamed package. That way, you can
use the function without the import statement as long as that function
is in your classpath:
// HelloWorld.as
package
{
public function HelloWorld()
{
trace(Hello, World!);
}
}
// test.fla
HelloWorld();

Exactly!

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash lite 2 questions
Thanks! I will check out the lists. Most phones are not connected to the net, thats why I want to use mms. I like AS2 but I think the Interactive Object and Event model in AS3 is more suitable for cross platform development, and would prefer it for mobile apps if possible. Best Regards /Eskil Hi Eskil, First of all you might want to consider to join one of the mailign lists dedicated to Flash on mobile devices. For example FlashMobile and suhc. - How do you get a custom icon for your Flash Lite 2 application ? You would need to make your own Symbian application which will add a menu icon, and basically has a call which will open your Flash movie in the default application for the file format/mimetype. You can use the wizard application such as swf2sis to make such symbian application for Symbian 2nd edition mobile phones. As far as I know it doesn't yet support Symbian Series 60 3rd mobile phones. - Is there a way to attach files (textfiles preferably ) with sms (mms) from Flash lite 2 ? You can send SMS files from Flash Lite application, or you can use the LoadVars-class to send data to a online webserver. -Will Flash lite have support for AS 3, and if so, when ? Not yet, it will support AS2 which is already great!

[Flashcoders] timeline effects, overide final alpha?
Hi all, I have a problem and I cannot imagine nobody else has had it before, yet I can find no mention of it anywhere. I have searched the archives, adobe forums and google. When you apply certain timeline effects (for me, a transform) you get a dialogue with various options in it. One of these is final alpha. The problem is, you cannot say don't change the alpha, you just set it at 0% - 100%. But I wish to apply an effect to an object which contains various degrees of alpha transparency. So if I leave final alpha at 100%, all of my transparency gradually becomes opaque. This seems to me completely insane. There must be a way to override this! Perhaps using actionscript to alter it at run time? Am I just missing something really obvious? I am using Flash 8 Pro btw, in case it matters. Also, if there is a better place for me to ask the question please advise. Cheers Kev P.S. just so it's clear, here is a quick note to replicate the problem: 1) create a new flash movie 2) draw a black square on the screen 3) draw a white square over it, set the white alpha to 10% 4) your square should be slightly lighter than black 5) select both squares and click select-timeline effects-transform-transform 6) change 'scale' to 150% and click OK. You would expect to see the square grow but it will also turn white!

I want to distort the image by repositioning the corner points of the photograph so that the interior rectangle is precisely positioned and sized. 1) I know the size of the photo, 2) I know the coordinates of the rectangle's corners in the photo 3) I know the coordinates where I want the rectangle's corners to be after the transformation. I need to know the new coordinates of the photo's corners to achieve #3. I don't know if you got the offlist answer you asked for, but it's probably a question worth answering on-list too. Basically what you need to do is to invert a transformation matrix. So you need to start by constructing the matrix M used to transform the original rectangle R = (0,-H,W,0) to the distorted rectangle: that is (using homogeneous coordinates (the kind used in Flash's own Matrix object)), M maps (0,0,1) to (x1,y1,1), (0,-H,1) to (x2,y2,1), (W,-H,1) to (x3,y3,1) and (W,0,1) to (x4,y4,1). This matrix *ought* to be given by: ( (x1-x2)/H (x4-x1)/W x1) ( (y1-y2)/H (y4-y1)/W y1) ( 0 0 1 ) I say 'ought' because if your camera has a non-parallel distortion, this matrix may fail to correctly transform the fourth point to (x3,y3,1). If that's true, there's no matrix that will work (all matrix transformations are affine, meaning they transform parallel lines into parallel lines). Once you have this matrix M, you can invert it to get M'(If you can't do that, I can explain how) and apply M' to the corners of your image to get your un-transformed rectangle.
