[Flashcoders] pass variables between classes in AS3
I have an AS3 document class where I load and parse an xml file into an array. I would like to pass that array to a movieclip(?) class - basically its a button that will create new movieclips that will differ based on my xml array. How in the world do I get the array from the document class to other classes... arggg! as3 is blowing my mind. I've googled but I can't find anything that make sense to my as2 brain.

RE: [Flashcoders] pass variables between classes in AS3
Depends on the structure, but, in the end, it sounds like it will boil down to having some static method for the the document class to find the movieclip, or the movieclip to find the document class. The simplest variant of this approach is the Singleton pattern. Is there only one instance of your document class, ever? Or only one instance of your movieclip class? -- T.

Re: [Flashcoders] Array Empowerment
To me it has always seemed more logical to use if this.length == 0 for the very reason of explicitness that you stated; and thus, using the alternative !this.length was less enticing. I speculated (wrongly) after reading your post that there might be some sort of speed optimization inherent to checking if something is false than actually checking for a specific length defined explicitly in your code. I don't know why I thought that, and obviously I am wrong for the various reasons stated earlier. Further, !this.length is very likely slower. Conditions are meant to resolve to a boolean, but the implicit cast is to a string, which means walking the prototype to find the property, and if it exists (!=undefined), casting it to a string, and then recasting it to a boolean. Meanwhile, this.length==0 resolves directly to a boolean, and, as such, should be a bit faster. It wouldn't be a noticable difference in speed in a single condition, but in a recursive loop where it might be evaluated thousands of times, it could make a significant difference. ryanm ___ 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] Creating dynamic text field using font embedded in parent movie clip
Hi Raymond, I missed your reply to this. You're absolutely right, it's less than ideal but I thought I'd mention it because it works :) The onnly reason our project is structured in this way was because several people were working on various child .swfs in various locations. I haven't been given the time to rationalise it all. I intended to try removing all the symbols in the child clips as a test for you but haven't had a chance yet. I'll try this this afternoon and report back to you what my findings are. Cheers Adrian On 7/26/06, Raymond Simmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Adrian, Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I might be missing something, but with the technique you described for Flash 7, wouldn't the end result be that the child FLAs are exported with the font as well? By adding the font symbols to the libraries of the child FLAs, that's causing the font to be included in the both the base SWF and the child SWFs, which would explain why the technique works :( Please help me see if I've missed something. My hope is to avoid embedding the font in the child FLAs. That way if the font changes, I only have to change it in one place. Also, if we have to work with a Mac-only font, it can be embedded in base.fla, and the folks working on PCs can still develop the child FLAs even though they don't have the font.

That said, due to a quirk in the way a current project has evolved, it has ended up using this technique but with the addition of identical Symbols in the library of 'base.fla' and every child .fla. So, base.fla has 2 Font Symbols in the library for the Normal and Bold versions of the Font. 2 text fields exist on stage with the fonts embedded (we've assigned the Font name given to the Symbols to the text field, not the original font). The font symbols are then duplicated in each sub library but the text fields are not. This seems to be working with no problems.

Let's say the font is Proxima Nova Bold. In main.fla, I can create a text field using the Proxima Nova Bold font with the following code: createTextField(myText,1,0,0,100,25); var myStyle = new TextFormat(); myStyle.font = Proxima Nova Bold; myText.setNewTextFormat(myStyle); myText.embedFonts = true; myText.text = Hello World!; But if I export main.fla as Flash 7, the technique no longer works. Has anyone else used this approach successfully in Flash 6, and found that it does not work in Flash 7? Or is it possible I'm missing something.

It wouldn't be a noticable difference in speed in a single condition, but in a recursive loop where it might be evaluated thousands of times, it could make a significant difference. ryanm ___ 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 -- Weldon MacDonald ___ 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] Trap browser interaction.
I'm working on a navigation system using named anchors in the main timeline to direct users to different states of my application from user interaction with the browser. I would prefer to do it more dynamically. Anyone who knows how the interaction is handled browser/flash with named anchors, and if it is possible to skip the timeline stuff, and trap the events directly from actionscript ? /Eskil -- http://www.eskilstina.com ---eskilStina -- Eskil Janson Mobil: +46 0735 31 68 52 Slupskjulsvägen 38 E-post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 111 49 Stockholm Webb: www.eskilstina.com http://www.eskilstina.com ___ 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] Weird problem with encryption...
I found that typing all kinds of sequences did the trick. Typing ato z and copying it in a few times did the trick too. Then I backspaced to the '1' (Small L) and when replaced with other letters it was okay. Put the 'l' back and it reappeared. It seems to be the encoding process. Sometimes you get garbage after deleting the text but pressing the delete key removes the hidden char in the input field and the output clears. I noticed in the Flash debugger that a letter 'a' turns up as a/r ie with a carraige return. Hope that helps. I am new to the game so can't help more. If the debugger gave you more support I might be able to help. John - Original Message - From: ryanm [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 7:37 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] Weird problem with encryption... I'm working on some encryption classes, and I've run into an extremely odd problem. Let me give you an example: http://www.horsefish.net/businesstools/sample.html Scroll to the bottom to the Encryption Test and type asdf in the clear text string field. You'll notice that it breaks when you type the f. However, if you change any character in the string or any character in the key, it works fine. If you continue typing asdf repeatedly you'll see that it breaks at predictable intervals. My first thought was that something must be wrong with the characters being used to pad the strings, since it always seems to break when you reach half a block. So I spent all kinds of time going through the algorhithm and replacing the pad characters to see what I was doing wrong, etc, but found nothing. Then I noticed something odd. If you switch to XXTEA using the combobox in the top right corner, you can produce the same error. Type Hello, my name is (including the space at the end) and you'll see the same thing happening. Add a character or change any character in the string and it encrypts and decrypts correctly. Needless to say, I find it exceedingly odd that both ciphers would suffer the same flaw, despite the same flawed developer working on both of them. I don't know if the MD5 class suffers the same problem, since it's one way and I don't have a good way to check it short of using someone else's implementation to repeatedly check strings until I find a key/message pair that produce the wrong result. So, the point of all of this is that I believe, after banging on this for some time, that there must be some character that is being generated by the cipher that Flash isn't handling properly. The encrypted string is generated in both classes by using bitwise operators to alter character codes, and what I think may be happening is some non-printable or otherwise unimplemented or incorrectly implemented character code is being generated in the cipher text, which is causing it to output garbage instead of valid cipher text. Of course, when I try to decrypt the garbage, it only returns garbage. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any light you guys can shed on this would be helpful. ryanm ___ 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@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] _global.styles.TextArea.embedFonts=true - problem
quote _global.styles.TextArea.embedFonts=true; _global.styles.TextArea.fontFamily=hnm;//hnm is a non system font embeded and linked as so in my library. then txt.text=asdbrasdbrasd;//txt is a v2 textarea component on the stage named as so. PROBLEM=embedFonts is causing nothing to display - why does this not act like a global style sheet? /quote This works: import mx.controls.TextArea; import mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration; _global.styles.TextArea.embedFonts = true; _global.styles.TextArea.fontFamily = hnm; this.createClassObject(TextArea, txt, 1); txt.text = asd\nasd\nasd; But it won't work with html=true, my theory is because Flash adds font tag with its face set to the default font (Times New Roman) which is not embeded in your TextArea therefore nothing will be displayed.

[Flashcoders] loadComplete but no loadInit
Exactly the problem I encountered a few days ago - but no solution to it yet. The only clue I have is that in the testing environment both onLoadComplete and onLoadInit were successfully working. It was when I tried launching either a standalone projector or the swf independently, that the onLoadInit became erratic - it would fail on certain pages and not on others. I am loading external swfs as page content using movieClipLoader, and I know it isn't the page content or size, because all are identical ( small files of about 15k with exactly the same content). I have tried using delegates and cleaning the Listener and Loader (removing and deleting, then recreating) up completely after each load - same result. The answer is out there somewhere .

THe real question to me is does AS3 change this behavior? I don't know about AS3, but haXe doesn't allow that kind of sloppiness, either. Generally, it beats any AS flavour hands down when it gets to typing, and those of you who consider such things important should definitely check out haxe.org -- you can easily learn how to do the same things you can do with AS and then still have what was a whole new world for me to explore to further improve your code, especially when typing is concerned. AS allows if(a.length), that's why I always did it that way and never felt bad about it. Why bother to differ between an undefined length property and one that is 0 while iterating over an array that itself can contain objects of any kind, potentially of mixed types, and I having to trust an unsafe cast if I don't want the overhead of checking the type at runtime? Just my two cents worth to a potentially endless discussion that might turn into a flame war à la whether or not to use _root.

[Flashcoders] Loading Remote Images Cross Domain files
Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out this cross domain policy stuff. I've read Macromedia's tutorial and Colin Moock's explanation and while I understand the principle, I'm still unable to get it working. Quite simply, I want to load images from a remote server. I've set it all up and it just fails silently. I checked what's happpening in the background with LiveHTTPHeaders and the request for the crossdomain.xml file never gets sent, even when I explicitly set it with System.security.loadPolicyFile. I'm publishing as Flash 7, and using the Flash 9 plugin. This seems like it should work straight off from reading the tutorials, so i'm really at a bit of a loss. To eliminate the chance that this was my server, i've also tried loading things from flickr with the same result.

Re: [Flashcoders] Hebrew in Flash?
yeah, hebrew is very tricky, but if you don't have input text fields there, it's still manageable.. look into X-FONTS in which every character has been flipped. place a textfield with an XFONT font on the stage and make its text aligh-left. Then flip the textfield horizontally and your hebrew text will display correctly. Mixing hebrew and english in the same field can bring new issues which are too numerous to mention here.. Good luck!

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 scripting, first try - some Q's
Hi Mike,
I didnt know FlashCoders was a place to get one's code reviewed for silly
mistakes in logic. Hence I just cleared your way from thinking its an AS3
problem. Anyways glad to know you figured it out.
And for your second question, I had already replied to it.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Mac IDE for AS !
I'm using the FDT plugin for Eclipse for my AS2 development. It's got some issues, but the features that do work more than make up for it. Auto-completion, code snippets, navigation through classes, basic refactoring like renaming class files, error checking as you type. etc... You can find it here: http://fdt.powerflasher.com/flashsite/flash.htm My only gripe with the product besides the price tag, is that they haven't updated and fixed many of the known bugs for at least a year. Plus, support and documentation are extremely limited or non-existent. I'm hoping that the guys at ASDT come out with an update soon. It's been way too long on that one too, and I'd much rather use an open source product.

The only clue I have is that in the testing environment both onLoadComplete and onLoadInit were successfully working. It was when I tried launching either a standalone projector or the swf independently, that the onLoadInit became erratic - it would fail on certain pages and not on others. I am loading external swfs as page content using movieClipLoader, and I know it isn't the page content or size, because all are identical ( small files of about 15k with exactly the same content). I have tried using delegates and cleaning the Listener and Loader (removing and deleting, then recreating) up completely after each load - same result. The answer is out there somewhere .

RE: [Flashcoders] Array Empowerment
After thinking about it, I believe the eql method is fine how it is and
here's why.
If there is an object in there with the same exact properties, but it's
a different instance of the object, then I don't think it should be a
match. If it points to the same place in memory (same instance) then it
should match, which is how Flash handles MovieClips, Objects, Classes,
etc. as illustrated in this trivial example:
x = {};
y = x;
trace(x == y);
-- true
x = {};
y = {};
trace(x == y);
-- false
This is as it should be. If the pointer in the array points to the same
object in memory, the it's a match, otherwise, it's not.
If you want to do some deeper comparison to see if objects in an array
are identical in content but different instances, then I think 'every'
is the proper method to use and you just pass your comparison function
as the argument.
Any thoughts?

[Flashcoders] constrain image pans with Zoomify
This is apropos of nothing, but I want to share this so it is in the archive. If you are using Zoomify and want your image to stay within the viewer's boundaries, you can use this code. After not getting a response from Zoomify I muddled for days to come up with this. Sad, but true. I hope this will help others avoid some frustration. In the ZoomifyViewer's MousePan function you'll find this line of code: this.gCurrentTier_mc.startDrag(); Replace it with this code: // determine bounds to keep map in viewer var w = this.tier1_mc._width; var h = this.tier1_mc._height; var left = -((1 - this.getWindowRight()) * w); var right = (this.getWindowLeft() * w); var top = -((1 - this.getWindowBottom()) * h); var bottom = (this.getWindowTop() * h); this.gCurrentTier_mc.startDrag(false, left, top, right, bottom); That should keep the user from seeing the outer edges of your image, or dragging it out of the viewer entirely. Note: this works particularly well if your image's proportions are the same as your view window's.

If you want to do some deeper comparison to see if objects in an array are identical in content but different instances, then I think 'every' is the proper method to use and you just pass your comparison function as the argument. Any thoughts? I think you need both. Maybe name this one same (or sameAs) and the other one equal (I'd add the s: equals), because what the strict comparison is really doing is saying that this is a reference to the *same* object as the one passed as an argument, not that they are equivalent. Equivalency really suggests a comparison between different objects, not just a check to see if they are the same object. Basically, you need an Object.compare function that you can call from this function. That would make life much easier, and you could even have it return a tri-state value, e.g. 0=false (not equivalent), 1=true (equivalent), 2 or -1 or null or whatever = duplicate reference (a==b). ryanm ___ 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] Array Empowerment
That's the real source of sloppiness, Java has eliminitaed these discussions by the simple expeditent of requiring that the conditional resolves to a boolean, nothing wlse will do. THe real question to me is does AS3 change this behavior? Well, the Flash answer to this is that all conditionals are cast to boolean, so if(condition) is effectively executed as if(Boolean(condition)), which makes it work, but at the same time it makes it easy to be sloppy. ryanm ___ 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] String Empowerment
My follow up to the Array extensions is this set of String extension
methods, again, borrowed from other languages. Time for optimization!
Some methods are still in development - some pretty tricky checking. I
also need to make _parseParams a bit more robust in allowing multiple
arguments to be passed with the intersections of those strings being the
result.

Re: [Flashcoders] AntiAlias Type and CacheBitmap = Jumbled Text???
Hi Ash, what do you mean with jumbled? As always with Flash there are a thousand quirks and unexpected behavior, but thankfully, after a bit of trial and error, we have also come up with a thousand workarounds! Please elaborate and explain what your problem is, and I am sure we can provide you with a way to solve it.

[Flashcoders] Text Shuffle Class
Hi, everyone
I found this script online awhile back and would like to make a class
file from it since I use it a lot. I'd love to just be able to pass a
few variables for the different strings to shuffle.
I've tried making the class file but I'm not so great with class
construction.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Dave
