RE: [Flashcoders] Copy Paste into Firefox
Hi Jim, All, 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. I'm the client, the end users are my clients, and I say not being able to copy and paste into Firefox bites!! This is obviously very important to my company and others considering this is an important part of many forms-based flash applications. Agreed 100%. Ajax starts looking a lot more attractive when this kind of thing comes up.

[Flashcoders] Does your next RIA work in Firefox?
Hi, Sorry for starting a new thread on this but it seems important. Rich Internet Application development review 1) Get information for the punters 2) Do something sexy with it in Flash It's not all pushing buttons and typing. There's the clipboard... If your not building something to get data from the users clipboard now your next project might, and the bad news appears to be that Firefox is not coming to the party. I've noticed that Ctrl-v, pasting from the clipboard to flash, doesn't work in all versions of Firefox. In fact nothing related to the clipboard does. A similar thread from 2001: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2001-November/016166.html ...didn't post an answer. Please visit this URL: http://dozo.jp/paste_test.php Then try to paste something in on Firefox and and register how it went. The test results are available at: http://dozo.jp/paste_test.php?result=true I've managed to figure out that pressing Ctrl and V _really_ fast sometimes works. In that case I get the following output: UP - Code: 17Key: UP - Code: 86Key: v DOWN - Code: 86Key: v DOWN - Code: 17Key: As opposed to: UP - Code: 86Key: v UP - Code: 17Key: DOWN - Code: 86Key: v DOWN - Code: 17Key: Which is the key sequence flash reads when the operation fails. IE reads the keys in this order: DOWN - Code: 17Key: UP - Code: 86Key: v UP - Code: 17Key: Hacking something to get the info from Javascript doesn't seem like a practical option, Firefox won't read the clipboard by default: http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html Any input appreciated.

[Flashcoders] FW: 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] as3: weird package problem
The weird thing is: In the flash 9 as3 preview IDE, I tried it and it does
work!
I imported the Test class, set c:\classes\ as the root within the IDE, and
the constructor
simply traces 'jay'. So I guess the problem is the source-path setting in
the XML.. Which
is:
source-path
path-elementc:/classes//path-element
/source-path
But I can't see what's wrong with it

Thanks for your reply,
I just tried out what you suggested, but didn't make any difference :(
It works when I leave the package name empty (this seems obvious).
But that wouldnt be a solution, because a class sitting
somewhere else wouldn't be able to access it.

[Flashcoders] mirror effect using bitmapdata and matrix
Hi coders, I am trying to get a mirror effect to work. The effect has a
number of x and y reflections in a set sized mc (this case a 240x180), which
is intended to result in a tiled effect (the more reflections the smaller
the tile)
Senoculars tutorial on the matrix is pretty comprehensive but I can't quite
get my creation to work, below is the function i have written so far, if
anyone could enlighten me would be great:
public function mirror(mc:MovieClip):Void
{
var mcSnapshot:BitmapData=new BitmapData(240,180,false);
mcSnapshot.draw(mc);
var mcMirror=mc.createEmptyMovieClip('mcMirror',1);
var mirrorBmpd:BitmapData=new BitmapData(240,180,false);
var totalReflections=_reflectionsInX*_reflectionsInY;
var xUnit=240/_reflectionsInX, yUnit=180/_reflectionsInY;
var a=1/_reflectionsInX;
var d=1/_reflectionsInY;
for(var i=0; itotalReflections; i++){
var xc=i%_reflectionsInX;
var yc=Math.floor(i/_reflectionsInY);
var xReverse = (xc%2) ? 1 : -1;
var yReverse = (yc%2) ? 1 : -1;
var m:Matrix=new
Matrix(a*xReverse,0,0,d*yReverse,xc*xUnit,yc*yUnit);
mirrorBmpd.draw(mcSnapshot,m);
}
mcMirror.attachBitmap(mirrorBmpd,1);
}

Re: [Flashcoders] the height of a dynamic textfield
Hi Enrico,
the best working solution I know, is to encapsulate the textfield into
a MovieClip. Then you insert your text into the textfield and
afterwards you determine the height of the MovieClip.
Have fun,
Matthias
remark: I think, this is one of the questions that is asked all the
time and again and again. So my question is: Is there, beside of the
flashcoders archive, a flashcoders faq?

Re: [Flashcoders] problem displaying text in dynamic text box with embeded fonts in flash 8
Are you using html text? If so, are you embedding the font for each face (regular, bold, and italic)? A simple way to do that is to create a dummy text field for each font face required, embed the necessary characters, and check the text field for bold or italic as needed. If that's not the issue, if you're using any special characters that aren't gettting embedded, try embedding ALL characters just as a test. Or modify your .txt file to contain just a very simple, plain string and see if that works. Sorry I can't be more definitive about this.

[Flashcoders] AMFPHP: CrossDomain
Hello, I am working on a project where the data is read/written to another web server for which AMFPHP is being deployed, everything works perfectly when running off the local machine. However when I host this on a separate server I keep getting Macromedia Flash Security Sandbox warning. I did go in and the line System.security.allowDomain(name_of_domain). That still did not work. I finally used the wild card allowDomain(*). This also did not solve the security problem. Is there something I am missing here. If I use the security.allowDomain function, do I still need to deploy a crossdomain.xml file in the webserver root. And where does this is crossdomain policy go? In the webserver hosting the flash files or the one hosting the amfphp gateway.php file??

You might want to pass in escaped value for myURL before it is passed into
Flash so that Flash would not get confused. Depending on how the URL is

Hello,
I have a button flash file. This file needs two parameters that are passed
in through the query string.
Here's my query string.
navButtons.swf?myURL={$menu_channel_id[menu]}buttonLabel={$menu_text[menu]}
here is the URL that is being passed in
domain.com/index.php?c=21a=35w=2r=Y
the ampersands are making flash think these are separate variables to pass
into flash. Is there a way to make flash send in the above link as a whole
without chopping it up into several separate variables.
I would use some other method besides a query string but, I really need this
to work with it.
Hope that makes sense!
Thanks,

[Flashcoders] Wierd animated text trailing effect issue
Hello, I am working on a dynamic presentation generator which allows for user generated SWF content authored by a console, external XML files, and compiled by using swfmill and mtasc. The user can define animations on textfields, along with changing fonts, sizes, etc. The problem I'm having is that when running the MTASC compiled SWF, and the text animates, it is leaving a ghost trail behind, as if the stage is not refreshing the display. Using embedFonts with textformats and external font library to created the text content along with the animation package to animate the content. Also. The top of the text is being cut off, as if the baseline is being shifted up a half of a line. (BTW. the text displays fine in my SWF studio authored console upon reimport of the parameters). Any thoughts? Have already tried updateAfterEvent in an onEnterFrame call. Could this be an MTASC compiling bug?

RE: [Flashcoders] call JS-Method from SWF in hidden div on IE
You could try a width and height of 0px and the overflow set to hidden.
I don't know if all browsers will accept 0px for the width or height,
therefor I made a simple js example:
script language=javascript type=text/javascript
function hideDiv(divId)
{
var d = document.getElementById(divId);
if(document.all){
d.style.width = 0px;
d.style.height = 0px;
d.style.overflow = hidden;
} else {
d.style.visibility = hidden;
}
}
hideDiv(testDiv);
/script
Just place it just before the /body tag.
Greetz,
Bernard

RE: [Flashcoders] Output to Text File
Adrian/Eric,
Thanks for the info.
I need to build quite a large RIA soon (it will be a flex app, but for the
purposes of this discussion the gui will be a series of swf's) that requires
extensive local machine/local network access (and this needs to be released
prior to Apollo). I understand there is a polarised opinion of desktop to
swf products such as zinc, but my current thinking is if I need to use a
wrapper of this nature, I'd prefer to write my own in C# (my app is heavily
reliant on database servers, and im not sure current data access in zinc or
swf studio is sufficient or good enough performance-wise).
Maybe these products have moved on since I last investigated though.
Eric, just out of interest, what particularly puts you off zinc?

Nick

swf file would read from the input file and write to the

this possible? Can I use javascript to achieve this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Output to Text File
Zinc looks awesome on the outside. The app is nice looking, the APIs look to
be really deep extensive. However I have found it to be quite buggy

Adrian/Eric,
Thanks for the info.
I need to build quite a large RIA soon (it will be a flex app, but for the
purposes of this discussion the gui will be a series of swf's) that
requires
extensive local machine/local network access (and this needs to be
released
prior to Apollo). I understand there is a polarised opinion of desktop to
swf products such as zinc, but my current thinking is if I need to use a
wrapper of this nature, I'd prefer to write my own in C# (my app is
heavily
reliant on database servers, and im not sure current data access in zinc
or
swf studio is sufficient or good enough performance-wise).
Maybe these products have moved on since I last investigated though.
Eric, just out of interest, what particularly puts you off zinc?
Cheers,
Nick

When I hear people using Zinc, I cringe. I hope that works out for you.
Personally, I feel more content using a little product from Northcode...

Nick,
I know you asked Kelly but, in case it's interesting to you, I have
completed the project I was working on using Zinc. It is a kiosk
application in which I needed to capture user data from a form in
Flash and append it to a text file for collection later. Zinc made
this an absolute breeze! The new {mdm}ScriptT 2.0 is a doddle to use
and really well integrated and with just a few short lines of code I
was able to build the functionality I needed.
Cheers

I am trying to find a way to get my Flash file read from and write
to ASCII text files. I would like to run the swf or exe file on my
local
machine,
with an input test file and an output text file in the same
directory. The swf file would read from the input file and write to
the
output file. Is
this possible? Can I use javascript to achieve this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Yahoo! Maps api
This is a known problem with the current version of the mxp file (3.02).
You can work around the problem by using the whole classname.
so instead of:
import com.yahoo.maps.widgets.NavigatorWidget;
var foo:NavigatorWidget = new NavigatorWidget('closed');
use:
var foo:com.yahoo.maps.widgets.NavigatorWidget =
new com.yahoo.maps.widgets.NavigatorWidget('closed');
etc.
There is another way to fix this, but I can't remember it ;-P

This is among the errors I am getting after freshly installing the
component. I tried y! Blogs but haven't heard back yet, so was wondering if
anyone here had found any info on the mystery classes :)
**Error** Symbol=yahoomap, layer=//as, frame=1:Line 7: The class or

Re: [Flashcoders] amf-php, AS2, mysql, and multilanguage website
Hi all, can someone put a step by step guide about what are the correct steps to have a front(in flash) that connects to a MySql with AMFPHP Lots of good information at: http://www.sephiroth.it http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/ http://amfphp.org Flash player uses UTF-8 so you shouldn't have character issues. One gotcha, if you're storing UTF-8 strings in MySQL you will want to use 4+, and you'll need to call the following before running select where queries from your service. mysql_query(SET NAMES 'utf8'); Tony ___ 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] Scrollpane and masking
Hi all.
Having some problems with the v2 scrollpane.
I'm trying to pick up where this post:
http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/htdig/flashcoders/2005-January/128299.html
leaves off.
Basically, the content 'outside' my scroll pane is not being masked off,
and by reading the post above, I've got this bit of code:
private function createChildren():Void {
viewport = ScrollPane(createObject(ScrollPane,viewport,
depth++));
viewport.contentPath = TimeLineBackground;
viewport.addEventListener(complete, this);
viewport.move(0,0);
timeLineBG = viewport.content;
timeLineBG._width = 600;
viewport.doLater(this,forceScrollPaneRefresh);
viewport.addEventListener(scroll, this);
}
private function forceScrollPaneRefresh(){
viewport.invalidate();
viewport.redraw(true);
trace (viewPort redrawn);
}
private function scroll(){
viewport.doLater(this,forceScrollPaneRefresh);
trace(scrolled);
}
This is all within a component that extends UIComponent. I can see the
events are getting fired and handled from the traces. Am I
misunderstanding what I'm supposed to do?
Thanks./

RE: [Flashcoders] Scrollpane and masking
How is your movie built? Is the scrollpane component in a loaded in swf? If so, you must have the scrollpane component in the library of the root/loading swf. Do you have the scrollpane embedded in another component? Do you have the scrollpane masked? ___ 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
