RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Player 9.0.16 and Huge SWFs

[The Helmsman]

Actually you can use images greater then 2880 pixels in width.
I've made some scroller once that used image more then 3600 pixels in width.
And it worked good, but later for some optimization reason and to be on the
safe side it was re-written and divided to parts :)
Besides this Matthew wrote it worked well in the old players. I think it's a
bug :) If something works in old version of application and stops working in
new version, its definitely bug not a feature :)

Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash Player 9.0.16 and Huge SWFs


 Hi all,

 I looked around for any chatter about this, but didn't find anything...

 Is anyone having problems loading large swfs (dimension wise) from a movie
 running in Flash Player 9?

 I have an application that loads a few large swfs (7000x500 and 9975x500)
at
 runtime.  The application is published for FP6/AS2 and works fine in Flash
 Player 6.0.47 through Flash Player 8.0.24.

 I am still investigating this, but when I load the 9975x500 swf into the
app
 in FP 9.0.16 in IE6/Win the player crashes and exits (right click gives me
 browser menu instead of Flash player menu) immediately after the
 MovieClip.loadMovie().  FP 9.0.16 under FF1.5/Win just hangs at the same
 point.  The 7000x500 SWF seems to be fine.

 The SWF is exported from Illustrator CS2.  If I export the swf at a
smaller
 size and scale it up after I load it, then it works fine.  I will probably
 use this workaround, but I like to know why things are happening.  I will
 try to build a simplified test case that demonstrates this.

 Any thoughs would be appreciated.  Thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] How to embed metadata in SWF files?

[The Helmsman]

If you are loading one movie to another use following technique:

Main movie
Main movie variable defined:
Var testVar:String = Hello world;

External movie loaded to level 1:
External movie variable defined:
Var testVar:String = Hello world - external;

Now let's load external movie to level 1:
Trace(_level0.testVar) prints Hello world;
Trace(_root.testVar) prints Hello world - external;
Trace(_level1.testVar) prints Hello world - external;

Then same external movie we'll load to some mc called container_mc which
located on the main movie timeline:
Trace(_level0.testVar) prints Hello world;
Trace(_root.testVar) prints Hello world;
Trace(_root.container_mc.testVar) prints Hello world - external;
Trace(_level0.container_mc.testVar) prints Hello world - external;

Hope it will help you to undestand Flash scope

Are you simply opening the SWF file directly, or loading it into a wrapper
SWF?

If you're loading it directly... it's just

_root.var1
_root.var2
...

If you're loading it into a wrapper, like so:

_root.myClip.loadMovie(path/to/my/movie.swf);

once it loads, you'll be able to access the data with:

_root.myClip.var1
_root.myClip.var2
...

Make sure your movie has loaded.  Use the MovieClipLoader class and assign
an onLoad handler to access the variables.

 I don't have any problems getting variable assignments into the SWF

 I have problems accessing their values when I'm playing the movie.

 The SWF contains some ActionScript in frame 1 which sets variables 
 like title=My First Movie, year=2006.
 But how can my Flash player access those variables when it loads and 
 plays the movie?  Are they in some oddball namespace like 
 _root.somethingOrOther

Re: [Flashcoders] ActionScript Application Framework

[James Deakin]

I started this thread for a simple reason, love or loath Ruby what has been
developed here has enabled several of my clients to deploy excellent web
applications with a significantly reduced investment of time with no aparent
compromise on functionality.

I think thats great. I wish the same could be done for AS. I feel that
making the job of the Flash/Flex developer as easy as posible will enable us
all to concentrate on the parts of our applications which are unique and
require special attention.

It is very easy to make use of Ruby on Rails. it took me just a few hours to
get an application runinng with it with no prior knowledge.

I am looking at ARP and Carngorm at the moment and they are not proving easy
to use and I am a highly experienced AS developer.

I have also started looking at Flex. . .

If there proves to be a way that we as a comunity can make developing
easier we should invest the time. I would contribute for sure.

So what do you think is missing? Is there something we could do or is it as
easy as it gets?

Did you have a look at haXe ?
http://haxe.org

It has builtin remoting for communicating with Flash. The idea is that
you can program both your website and your Flash movies in haXe. This is
great since you can share some code between your flash client and server.

A lot of tutorials are available there : http://haxe.org/doc

[FlashCoders] Memory builds up

[Dimitrios Bendilas]

Hello,

I have a few very simple lines of code on _root, frame 1 (it's the only frame 
in the main timeline):

--
var ballID:Number = 0;

_root.onEnterFrame = createBall;

function createBall():Void {
 var mc:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie(ball, ball + ballID, 100 + ballID++);
 mc._x = random(550);
 mc._y = random(400);
}
--

ball is the linkage ID of a simple vector circle in the library.
The ball movieclip has 10 frames (with only 1 keyframe on frame 1)
and at the last frame it says

this.removeMovieClip();

I run the swf and it soon builds up memory, from 6.8M to 10M. It will probably 
go up more
if I leave it open.

Why??

The balls are created and destroyed just fine on the screen. What is happening 
and the memory builds up?

This is a test regarding a big optimization attempt for a big game project I'm 
finishing up, where the game slows down
significantly after 30min of play. I started with the very basics and I see 
that even in this simple example
there is problem with the memory.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks a lot,

Dimitrios

Re: [FlashCoders] Memory builds up

[Hans Wichman]

Hi,
how about if you leaving it running for longer?
The memory might go up, but should go down once in a while when the garbage
collection kicks in.
Minimizing the window might trigger it.

I tried your example, but i see no alarming memory build up.

Very quickly, especially if you have some AS2 or Java knowledge.

haXe offers the same Flash API as AS2, so people having experience in
flash programming are not lost.

You can read a quick introduction to haXe article that was published on
ActionScript.com :

Re: [Flashcoders] slide a movieclip with photo(loaded by xml)

[Adrian Park]

When 'this.link' loads into imagem_mc, any existing properties and methods
of imagem_mc are destroyed because 'this.link' replaces imagem_mc.

Immediately after loading the MovieClip, you call subAppear which assigns
the onEnterFrame handler. This handler is destroyed when the MovieClip loads
so you don't see your animation working.

Here are your options:
1) use MovieClipLoader and then use the onLoadInit event to evoke subAppear
when the movie has completely loaded or
2) nest imagem_mc inside a wrapper MovieClip and assign the onEnterFrame
handler to that wrapper.

The first option is the better option as it's just neater and also because I
think it's fair to assume you only want the animation to happen once the
MovieCLip has loaded anyway.

[Flashcoders] flv stops playing after undefined numbers of seconds (through firewall)

[Hans Wichman]

Hi list,
i have an flv that plays from behind a firewall.
Tested locally the flv plays great (from a personal edition of the fcs),
however from the external fcs through the firewall, the first few seconds
seem to come through and then i get a (dump from the log):

onStatus called: (191883 ms)
clientid: 146516672
description: Stopped playing
H07-20060215Notitieblok_versie4_audiovideo_282kbps384K.
code: NetStream.Play.Stop
level: status
Scope:[type Function]
onStatus called: (192118 ms)
level: status
code: NetStream.Buffer.Flush
Scope:[type Function]

I'm playing it from flashcomserver 1.5.

The weird thing though is that it only happens with some videos, others play
fine. This would lead to a conclusion that there is something wrong with the
vids, however as said they play from a local version of the fcs and through
standalone flvplayers as well.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated:)

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

[eric dolecki]

Marcos,

If you made the rectangle the same size as your sprite - there would
be no scale9 to speak of. It has to be smaller than the mc. You know
how it works from implementing it in the IDE, so you know that there
must be outside area that is left untouched, the interior does the
scaling.

- e.d.

RE: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

If it gets too messy, you can also roll your own scale 9 function for graphics 
- that's what I did since I'm building for Flash 7.  It's pretty easy actually.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

Does any body can tell me what´s wrong with this code?
The problem is that the scale9grid is not doing his job.
The bt.swf embed has size of 100x22.
But the trace at the end ignores it´s size. Why?
Where scale9grid should be applied to work? I try many sprites but none work.

package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import mx.core.MovieClipAsset;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

public class BtFlash extends Sprite
{
[Embed(source=bt.swf)]
private var btClass:Class;

public function BtFlash()
{
var bt:MovieClipAsset = new btClass();
addChild(bt);
var mc:Sprite = new Sprite();
mc.graphics.beginFill(0);
var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(6, 2, 70, 18);
mc.graphics.drawRect(rect.x - 1, rect.y - 1, rect.width 
+ 2,
rect.height + 2);
mc.graphics.endFill();
bt.addChild(mc);
bt.scale9Grid = rect;
trace(bt.width);
trace(width);
}

RE: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

[Merrill, Jason]

Well, what I did is make 9 parts to my graphic, 

topLeft_mc
topCenter_mc
topRight_mc
centerLeft_mc
center_mc
etc.

Then, put those in a movieClip with the respective instance names.  Then pass 
that clip to a scale function, also pass width and height parameters.  Then in 
the function, do some calculations.  Something like this (this example attaches 
the scale 9 clip from the library):

private function scale9():MovieClip {
t = this.target_mc.attachMovie(scale9graphic , scale9graphic_mc, 
theDepth);
t._x = x;
t._y = y;
x1 = 0;
x2 = t.topLeft_mc._width;
x3 = w-(t.topLeft_mc._width);
y1 = 0;
y2 = t.topLeft_mc._height;
y3 = h-t.bottomLeft_mc._height;
w1 = t.topLeft_mc._width;
w2 = w-(t.topLeft_mc._width + t.topRight_mc._width);
w3 = t.topRight_mc._width;
h1 = t.topRight_mc._height;
h2 = h-(t.topRight_mc._height+t.bottomRight_mc._height);
h3 = t.bottomRight_mc._height;

t.topLeft_mc._x = x1;
t.topLeft_mc._y = y1;

t.topCenter_mc._x = x2;
t.topCenter_mc._y = y1;
t.topCenter_mc._width = w2;

t.topRight_mc._x = x3;
t.topRight_mc._y = y1;

t.centerLeft_mc._x = x1;
t.centerLeft_mc._y = y2;
t.centerLeft_mc._height = h2;

t.center_mc._x = x2;
t.center_mc._y = y2;
t.center_mc._width = w2;
t.center_mc._height = h2;

t.centerRight_mc._x = x3;
t.centerRight_mc._y = y2;
t.centerRight_mc._height = h2;

t.bottomLeft_mc._x = x1;
t.bottomLeft_mc._y = y3;

Re: [FlashCoders] Memory builds up

Hm,

You are right. Well, it went up from 6.8 to 10 to me as I said
but it doesn't go further up. And it decreases from time to time.

Ok thanks guys, I feel much better now. I was like what the heck?!

Thanks :)

 Hello,

 I have a few very simple lines of code on _root, frame 1 (it's the

 function createBall():Void {
 var mc:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie(ball, ball + ballID, 100 +
 ballID++);
 mc._x = random(550);

 ball is the linkage ID of a simple vector circle in the library.
 The ball movieclip has 10 frames (with only 1 keyframe on 
frame 1) and 
 at the last frame it says


 this.removeMovieClip();

 I run the swf and it soon builds up memory, from 6.8M to 
10M. It will 
 probably go up more if I leave it open.


 Why??

 The balls are created and destroyed just fine on the 
screen. What is 
 happening and the memory builds up?


 This is a test regarding a big optimization attempt for a big game 
 project I'm finishing up, where the game slows down significantly 
 after 30min of play. I started with the very basics and I see that 
 even in this simple example there is problem with the memory.


 Am I missing something here?

 Thanks a lot,

Should someone give an example of how to use scale9grid in flash authoring?
I bitmap fill a rectangle with a checker pattern. The corners should
have no deformation, but it´s having.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

Make your rectangle a mc.
In the Library, right-click on the mc, choose properties
should be a checkbox @ bottom to enable scale9
you should see dashed rules appear in mc preview in Library
2x click into, drag the rules around to set up your scale9

RE: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

[Merrill, Jason]

I used that two. You call the scale9 function when? 

I call it when I want the graphic to scale - that was just an excerpt from a 
class I wrote, you would want to add paramters like X,Y,height,Width of the 
graphic, and the name of the scale9 movie clip in the library.  

How do you know
when it need to be updated?

I don't understand the nature of that question.

RE: [Flashcoders] flash color shift

[Merrill, Jason]

No Actionscript in your question, this should probably be on the Flashnewbie 
list, but

Are you sure there is no compression going on from Photoshop?  If I remember, 
.jpgs exported from Photoshop or Fireworks have about 80% compression by 
default.  Make sure your settings for the .jpg are at 100% (Highest Quality).

Also, in your publish, be sure you have no compression setting on the .jpgs - 
change the quality to 100%.

RE: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

[Merrill, Jason]

No. All my example was, was a custom function that emulates a scale9 like how 
it works in Flash 8.  It just positions and scales 9 graphics  - that's all.

You call scale inside the X,Y,height,Width assessors, right?

 I call it when I want the graphic to scale - that was just an excerpt from 
 a class
I wrote, you would want to add paramters like X,Y,height,Width of the graphic,
and the name of the scale9 movie clip in the library.

 How do you know
 when it need to be updated?

 I don't understand the nature of that question.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to embed metadata in SWF files?

[Max]

I'm pretty sure Flash 9 has built in metadata capabilities, although
I've never used them and I'm not aware of any way to access them from
Actionscript code. Here's some of the arguments you can use with
mxmlc.

-metadata.contributor name
-metadata.creator name
-metadata.date text
-metadata.description text
-metadata.language code
-metadata.localized-description text lang
-metadata.localized-title title lang
-metadata.publisher name
-metadata.title text

Of course, it's probably Flash 9 only.

External movie loaded to level 1:

Now let's load external movie to level 1:
Trace(_level0.testVar) prints Hello world;
Trace(_root.testVar) prints Hello world - external;
Trace(_level1.testVar) prints Hello world - external;

Then same external movie we'll load to some mc called container_mc which

Trace(_level0.testVar) prints Hello world;
Trace(_root.testVar) prints Hello world;
Trace(_root.container_mc.testVar) prints Hello world - external;

Hope it will help you to undestand Flash scope

Are you simply opening the SWF file directly, or loading it into a wrapper
SWF?

If you're loading it directly... it's just

_root.var1
_root.var2
...

If you're loading it into a wrapper, like so:

_root.myClip.loadMovie(path/to/my/movie.swf);

once it loads, you'll be able to access the data with:

_root.myClip.var1
_root.myClip.var2
...

Make sure your movie has loaded.  Use the MovieClipLoader class and assign
an onLoad handler to access the variables.

 The SWF contains some ActionScript in frame 1 which sets variables

 But how can my Flash player access those variables when it loads and
 plays the movie?  Are they in some oddball namespace like
 _root.somethingOrOther

[Flashcoders] Accessing Vertices of Geometries

[Matthew Ganz]

hi.

i have a component that allows me to draw geometric shapes on it; rectangle, 
polygon, line, etc...

the coordinates of each shape are stored in an array and passed back to 
javascript. i have a new requirement whereby i need to allow the user to select 
the vertices of each shape and move them to change the shape. the exact same 
functionality that you can do with the rectangle tool in the flash IDE.

has anyone done this before or can point me in the right direction on how to 
get started?

thank you. -- matt.

Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

[Julien Vignali]

Marco,

If I remember well, you must publish your fla in order to test your 
scale9 grid. You can't preview the results within the flash editor and 
the scale9 guides (the 4 black dashed lines) are just visual helpers.


But, you can easily apply a scale9 grid to any movieclip at runtime, 
even if you haven't previously enabled scale9 in the movieclip 
properties...


Here is a .fla file to illustrate this:
http://www.vignali.net/julien/scale9.fla


Hope it helps

RE: [Flashcoders] flash color shift

[Simon Renshaw]

If the PS document is defiantly RGB, check the embedded colour profile,
probably set to adobe 1998, use the convert to profile command to change it
to SRGB before you export to Flash, you may notice some slight changes after
the conversion, if so re-colour as necessary, save out again with the new
profile and import into flash, should be fine.

Hope this helps

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: BitmapData.draw() peculiarity

[John VanHorn]

sure...
say you have a movie clip named contentMc, with the reg point in the center.
that would mean that the upper left most content within that movie clip
would have a negative _x and _y, say -50,-50. if you use:
bmpObject.draw(contentMc),
it will only draw a bitmap starting at 0,0so you would only get the
content in the bottom right quadrant of contentMc.

one of the params you can pass the draw() method is a transformation matrix.
so if you used:

bmpObject.draw(contentMc, new Matrix(1,0,0,1,50,50));

it would start drawing the bitmap from -50,-50 within contentMc. the last 2
params of the matrix are the amount of offset.

ok, luckily a friend had an answer for me.

if any body is curious, you can offset the negative space by passing a
transformation matrix as a param to the draw() method.

 has anyone tried to use the BitmapData.draw() method to draw a movieclip

 what i do, i can only get the draw() method to start from the point 0,0
in
a
 movie clip, when i need it to start at say -20,-20. even passing the
 clipRect param to the method does not do what you would expect. am i
missing
 something here?

 any solutions or workarounds would be appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] slide a movieclip with photo(loaded by xml)

Something like this? because it doesnt work...it remains the problem...

//create an instance of MovieClipLoader
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();


myMCL.onLoadInit = function (targetMC)
{
   subAppear(targetMC, (i+3), 95);
}



function createTreeMenu():Void {
   for (i=0; imainMenus.length; i++) {
   newBut = _root.attachMovie(but, but+i, 999+i);
   newBut._x = 33+(newBut._width+5)*i;
   newBut._y = 380;
   newBut.txt.text = [i+1];
   newBut.link = mainMenus[i].firstChild.firstChild;

   subAppearX(imagemp_mc, (i+3), 344);

   newBut.onRelease = function() {
   loadMovie(this.link, imagem_mc);
   myMCL.loadClip(imagem_mc);
   };

   }
}


sorry for my dullness...maybe with a event listener?hummm

On 7/20/06, Adrian Park [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


When 'this.link' loads into imagem_mc, any existing properties and methods
of imagem_mc are destroyed because 'this.link' replaces imagem_mc.

Immediately after loading the MovieClip, you call subAppear which assigns
the onEnterFrame handler. This handler is destroyed when the MovieClip
loads
so you don't see your animation working.

Here are your options:
1) use MovieClipLoader and then use the onLoadInit event to evoke
subAppear
when the movie has completely loaded or
2) nest imagem_mc inside a wrapper MovieClip and assign the onEnterFrame
handler to that wrapper.

The first option is the better option as it's just neater and also because
I
think it's fair to assume you only want the animation to happen once the
MovieCLip has loaded anyway.

Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

[Marcos Neves]

Thanks Julien,

Your example open my mind. Now I know that scale9grid is not powerfull
as I thought.
Here some conclusions that I found based on some tests:

It doesn´t work with bitmap
You can´t have movieClip inside it, only shapes.
Nested MC with 9grid doesn´t work.
The gradient fill or bitmap fill scale as if 9grid doesn´t exists.
Textfields too. :(

Resuming, there are so restrictions that it became almost useless.
Very sorry. :(

But thanks every one for the hand. :)

RE: [Flashcoders] Accessing Vertices of Geometries

[Tom Lee]

What version of the Flash Player are you targeting?

The basic idea would be to put a button at each vertex, use startDrag and
stopDrag to enable drag-drop on those buttons, and redraw the shape on
mouseMove during drag actions, getting the new coordinates from the button
locations.  The specifics would vary depending on Player version.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Accessing Vertices of Geometries

hi.

i have a component that allows me to draw geometric shapes on it; rectangle,
polygon, line, etc...

the coordinates of each shape are stored in an array and passed back to
javascript. i have a new requirement whereby i need to allow the user to
select the vertices of each shape and move them to change the shape. the
exact same functionality that you can do with the rectangle tool in the
flash IDE.

has anyone done this before or can point me in the right direction on how to
get started?

thank you. -- matt.

RE: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

[Tom Lee]

If you must use a bitmap, you might look into the Splice9 JSFL extension at
http://www.brajeshwar.com/downloads/jsfl/splice9/.  This extension is an
author-time solution to the problem.  If possible, however, I would suggest
converting your PNGs to vectors.  With the filters now available in Flash,
there isn't much that you can do with bitmaps that you can't do with
vectors.  Also, vectors often yield smaller file sizes, and scale without
degradation.

Instead of putting textfields and movieclips inside the 9-sliced movieclip,
how about putting them on top of it?  You might consider using the 9-sliced
clip as a background layer, and then controlling the width and height of the
textfields separately.  

Some unique effects can be achieved by 9-slicing multiple movieclips and
then stacking them.  Additionally, you can put multiple shapes in the same
movieclip on different layers and all the shapes will be affected by
scale9grid.  Also, you can use a 9-sliced movieclip as a mask for another
movieclip, which could contain a textfield.

With a creative combination of techniques, you should be able to achieve the
desired result.  You may not be able to do it with 9-slice alone, however.

 Thanks Julien,

 Your example open my mind. Now I know that scale9grid is not powerfull
 as I thought.
 Here some conclusions that I found based on some tests:

 It doesn´t work with bitmap
 You can´t have movieClip inside it, only shapes.
 Nested MC with 9grid doesn´t work.
 The gradient fill or bitmap fill scale as if 9grid doesn´t exists.
 Textfields too. :(

 Resuming, there are so restrictions that it became almost useless.
 Very sorry. :(

[Flashcoders] Speed up Datagrids

[Doug Coning]

I've created an RIA application that depends heavily upon the Enhanced
Datagrid.  I like the datagrid quite a bit, however, each time a window
opens, it can take upwards of 10 seconds for the datagrid to
instantiate, and this is testing with small bits of data (Nothing more
than 40 records).  I load the data by using the .dataProvider method
which comes back from the server very quickly.  Most of my datagrids
only have 1 to 4 columns, so the column sizes are not the problem.  Yes,
a lot of them have cell renderers which I'm putting in a checkbox,
button or image.   Once the datagrid loads, it runs very well.  I just
don't think the user is going to like waiting 10 to 15 seconds everytime
they open a window in flash that has a datagrid.

Does anyone have any successful strategies for speeding up the datagrid
component?

Does anyone know if the List component is faster than the datagrid
component for showing simple data?

Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

[Marcos Neves]

I found some workarounds at design time. But i´m still can´t use
[Embed] to include my vector or bitmap and use it as scale9grid.
Perhaps there´s some implications that I can´t see, to Macromedia
didn´t implement that.

Some unique effects can be achieved by 9-slicing multiple movieclips and
then stacking them.
Also, you can use a 9-sliced movieclip as a mask for another
movieclip, which could contain a textfield.

I´m curious about how to do that!

Re: [Flashcoders] ActionScript Application Framework

[Ujjwal Kabra]

After nearly two years of working in ActionScript, my company decided that
Flash development was too painful and just not worth the effort.

This happened just about the time that I was actually getting the hang of
things. In any case, I was the last Flash(AS2) Developer left here...

I'm in full support for building an app-development framework around
Flash/AS2 and/or AS3, which would make life easier for AS2 devs like me, and
make the decision to chose Flash as a development platform easier for a
mid-sized team than it currently is.

While I have little(none actually) idea about Ruby and Rails, I'll read up
soon... I would love to get started before my Flash skills actually get
rusted away.

[Flashcoders] modify sample rate in MP3 header?

[Marc Hoffman]

I've been using Flash to play back bird songs from amy website. By 
generating some MP3's at half or quarter speed (with commensurate 
drop in pitch) I can demonstrate some fascinating detail in bird 
songs that's otherwise missed by the human ear.


Now if I could just modify the MP3 headers on-the-fly (with server 
side file manipulation), I could let Flash slow down any MP3's 
without having to generate and store separate versions of the sound 
file on the server.


Anybody know of tools to modify MP3 header info on the fly? Sort of 
like creating thumbnails of images using PHP?

Re: [Flashcoders] slide a movieclip with photo(loaded by xml)

[Adrian Park]

I'm thinking more like this (using your most recent code as a starting
point)...

//create an instance of MovieClipLoader
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
// register this as a listener
myMCL.addListener(this);
// define function to handle onLoadInit event
function onLoadInit( targetMC:MovieClip ):Void
{
   subAppear(targetMC, (i+3), 95);
}



function createTreeMenu():Void {
   for (i=0; imainMenus.length; i++) {
   newBut = _root.attachMovie(but, but+i, 999+i);
   newBut._x = 33+(newBut._width+5)*i;
   newBut._y = 380;
   newBut.txt.text = [i+1];
   newBut.link = mainMenus[i].firstChild.firstChild;

   subAppearX(imagemp_mc, (i+3), 344);

   newBut.onRelease = function() {
   // load the clip
   myMCL.loadClip( this.link, imagem_mc );
   };

   }
}

I haven't tested this code but it should get you close to what you're after.
Note that you should use loadMovie OR MovieClipLoader - not both for the
same task.

 When 'this.link' loads into imagem_mc, any existing properties and

 of imagem_mc are destroyed because 'this.link' replaces imagem_mc.

 Immediately after loading the MovieClip, you call subAppear which
assigns
 the onEnterFrame handler. This handler is destroyed when the MovieClip
 loads
 so you don't see your animation working.

 Here are your options:
 1) use MovieClipLoader and then use the onLoadInit event to evoke
 subAppear
 when the movie has completely loaded or
 2) nest imagem_mc inside a wrapper MovieClip and assign the onEnterFrame
 handler to that wrapper.

 The first option is the better option as it's just neater and also
because
 I
 think it's fair to assume you only want the animation to happen once the
 MovieCLip has loaded anyway.

[Flashcoders] Flash and SSL/HTTP Basic Authentication

hi. 

i'm looking to learn more about how well flash plays with SSL and HTTP Basic 
Authentication. my understanding is that the flash player doesn't implement SSL 
and that all certificate verification is determined by the browser. but 
browsers may handle that differently. 

can anyone share their experiences or point me in the right direction where i 
can learn more?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash and SSL/HTTP Basic Authentication

[Rifled Cloaca]

With SSL, you need to use POST to send info, since Flash uses the browser's
POST transport for it, so the browser handles the encryption.

If you're using PHP and Sessions, you need to set your session_cache_limiter
in your PHP.INI (or using ini_set) from none to public or private, or
nothing will work.

Also, with the OBJECT/EMBED tag, you need to change the macromedia
pluginspage URL from http:// to https:// or you will get a security warning.

I've had good luck with SSL and HTTP Basic across all platforms.  As you
say, it is handled by the browser.  I have run into problems using Flash's
WebService components over secure connections when testing within the IDE.
If you're testing on a web server, you should be fine.

software that will return a JPEG image from a GET request this was from
http://www.idautomation.com. I'm sure there are PHP versions of the same
thing. I'm not sure how you would generate this in a standalone Flash app.
Hope this helps, August

Hello,

Does anybody have experience with generating barcodes. From what I've read
it's as easy as embedding a barcode font and voila. But I can't match up

the example I have from the client.

Any help or direction appreciated.

Thanks,

RE: [Flashcoders] modify sample rate in MP3 header?

[Bernard Visscher]

I don't believe it's possible like that.
MP3 doesn't store samplerate in the headers it's all over the place.
Just test with a simple mp3, delete the first mb with a texteditor now it
will play the remaining mp3 with the correct sample rate.

 Onderwerp: [Flashcoders] modify sample rate in MP3 header?
 
 I've been using Flash to play back bird songs from amy 
 website. By generating some MP3's at half or quarter speed 
 (with commensurate drop in pitch) I can demonstrate some 
 fascinating detail in bird songs that's otherwise missed by 
 the human ear.
 
 Now if I could just modify the MP3 headers on-the-fly (with 
 server side file manipulation), I could let Flash slow down 
 any MP3's without having to generate and store separate 
 versions of the sound file on the server.
 
 Anybody know of tools to modify MP3 header info on the fly? 
 Sort of like creating thumbnails of images using PHP?

RE: [Flashcoders] Radiobutton groupName issue *URGENT*

[Alberto Florentin]

Hey, I just worked with radiobutton group for first time (at least for 2
years).  Had some problems on how to access the radioGroup object itself.
Finally used var radiogroup = eval(myradioButton.groupName) and then added
to it the event listener.  Problem is, to make it work I had to include the
path to the movieclip containing the radiobutton, like this var radiogroup =
eval(path +.+myradioButton.groupName).  So I understand the
radiobuttongroup object belongs to the _parent.myradioButton movieclip.  In
your case it seems that you get multiple radiobutton groups, one for each
movieclip.  You have to find some other way to do it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Radiobutton groupName issue *URGENT*

yup - seems like a scoping issue...

if all the radiobutton mcw were nested in a larger, single mc, they could
all register with the radiobutton groupname that is defined in that single
mc. in theory.

[Flashcoders] Yahoo Maps: Detecting latitude and longitude of mouse over map

[Dave Wood]

Hi

I'm trying to detect the latitude and longitude of the cursor as the  
user moves their mouse around a map. Should be straightforward I  
thought - if I use LatLonRect data and then calculate based on  
_xmouse and _ymouse data and the height and width of the movieClip  
containing the map, I should be able to do this right?


Weird problem is that flash reports the _height and _width of the  
movieclip incorrectly.


I have a movieClip mapTable_mc in which there is a map named map

The actual dimensions of the movieClip (and also the map) are 400 X  
300 pixels.


trace(mapTable_mc._height)
…output is 1280
trace(mapTable_mc._width)
…output is 1280

Trace mapTable_mc.map._height
…output is 1280
Trace mapTable_mc.map._width
…output is 1280

Height and width are not only incorrect but also the same as each other!

If I trace _xmouse and _ymouse values, they are exacly as expected.

Can anyone shed any light?

David

Re: [Flashcoders] Yahoo Maps: Detecting latitude and longitude of mouse over map

[David Rorex]

When flash calculates _width and _height, it also includes things
inside the movieclip which may be invisible, or masked out. Try this
simple example:
On the stage, create an empty movie clip A which contains two square
movieclips B and C, which are placed next to each other

This code will produce the same output 4 times:

trace(A._width);
A.B._visible = false;
trace(A._width);
A.C._visible = false;
trace(A._width);
A._visible = false;
trace(A._width);

Not sure if this is related exactly to your problem, but I've had
issues with _width  _height before, and this is usually the cause.

[Flashcoders] Customised date chooser

[Haikal Saadh]

Hi,

Has anyone extended the DateChooser component so that it's easy to jump 
across years as well as months?


Also, any tips/gotchas would be nice as well, if you've played with this.

I just thought I'd ask before I went and did it myself.

Thanks in advance.

[Flashcoders] Can I assign a Class to the main timeline?

[JulianG]

Hello guys:

I'm new to the list.
I've been using Flash for several years now, and I'm coding in AS2 since 
last year. I can create Classes with no problems. I usually extend my 
classes and other original Flash classes.
I usually extend the MovieClip class and assign the class to a Symbol in 
the Library using the Linkage dialog box.
So, most of my MovieClips instead of having code on a keyframe, they 
have a class assigned to them.


Now the question is.. is there a way I can do the same, but with the 
main Timeline?
I mean, I want my main timeline (which already supports all the members 
[properties and methods] of the MovieClip class ) to behave according to 
a certain Class that I write and that is an extension of the MovieClip 
class.
Is this possible? where can I tell flash to associate a certain Class to 
the main timeline instead of a Symbol on the Library?

Any documentation on this?

Thanks in advance!

JulianG

[Dave Wood]

Hi David


When flash calculates _width and _height, it also includes things
inside the movieclip which may be invisible, or masked out.


Good thought, but no, the movieclip contains nothing beyond the area  
covered by the map instance.


Note that it wsan't just the clip containing the map the gave the  
strange values, but also of the map itself.


Cheers

David

Re: [Flashcoders] Can I assign a Class to the main timeline?

[Weyert de Boer]

You might want to try this, below the contructor of the 
Application-class. This will be come the class associated with the main 
class. Seems to work for me.



   /**
*  Constructor
*
*  @paramtimelineThe timeline
*/
   public function Application( target ) {
   super();
  
   //

   target.__proto__ = __proto__;
   target.__constructor__ = com.Application( com.Application );
   this = com.Application( target );
com.Application( target );
   }

Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to

[Charles Parcell]

Here are my thoughts.

Based on the image you passed on in one of your previous postings, it looks
like you are building a drop down list component. I would assume that you
wanted slice9 so you could scale the component in the X direction for longer
strings.  Is this a correct assumption?

You might want to break your image into three (3) columns. Col 1 would be an
image from the left edge of the image to just right of the first black line.
The second would be a single pixel column between the left and right black
lines. The third column would be from just to the left of the right black
line to the right edge of the image.

With these three graphics you can build a X scaled component of any width.
Simply replicate the single pixel column to create a text area the size you
need.  Use the BitmapData class to build the image and simply dump the
resulting image in to a MC. This is but one example of the power held by
imaging code new to Flash 8 ( copyPixels() for example )
