Re: [Flashcoders] Ignoring error in code on compile
do you mean that you want to compile those classes seperately but are getting errors when they are referenced? You could create interfaces for the classes and code to that. martin Ramon Miguel M. Tayag wrote: Hi everyone, I want to use Screenweaver to create a desktop application. Just like the other SWF2EXE programs, you can arbitrarily call an object, like, swFile.function to access the commands. The problems comes in when I put these commands in classes and I compile the classes. How do I tell Flash to ignore these errors and continue compiling like those weren't there? The workaround would be ugly (pointing to the root that contains the functions), and I'd like to avoid that.

[Flashcoders] browsing photo gallery problem
Hi all,
I'm making a flash photo gallery
Everything is working fine except two points:
- If I'm on the 1st picture and I press back instead of next,
the xml text will be 'undefined' cause it's looking a picture who
doesn't exist.
The gallery should stay on picture n°1 and not go to picture n°0
Same problem for the last picture.
I'm kinda newbie in AS and I can't find a solution to automatically
stop the gallery,
or to make it as a loop.
Can anybody help me?
- I found a usefull trick, I set the 1st picture to be visible during
the loading
so all the pictures load in the background without the visitor notice it
so he can already browse the gallery.
The problem is that the picture n°1 always stays visible at the back,
when I try to make alpha transitions between each picture, the picture
n°1 always appear on the back.
Is there's a way to delete it at the moment the visitor begins to
browse the gallery?
Thanks alot to take a look at the code below

Re: [Flashcoders] Mtasc Delegate
Hi João,
Mtasc is more strict with variable scope than MM's compiler.
If you want to use mtasc on MM's Delegate method you can rename the variable
called func inside the dynamically created function in the Delegate.create
method (that is two places exactly, and don't touch the line
arguments.callee.func). I can't quote MM's sourcecode here due to copyright.
Hope that helps.
Yours sincerely,

[Flashcoders] Most efficient way to set a ColorTransform property on a MovieClip
What would be the quickest most efficient way to apply a ColorTransform and set the rgb property on a MovieClip? With the Color object, you could use the following line: (new Color(my_mc)).setRGB(0x00); ... and if you extended the Color class and added an rgb getter setter, the following would work as well: (new XColor(my_mc)).rgb = 0x00; ... but with ColorTransform, I can't seem to find a single line solution. I've tried: (my_mc.transform.colorTransform = new ColorTransform ()).rgb = 0x00; ... which doesn't work, although it also doesn't throw an error. I know that I can pass in all the parameters (rm, gm, bm, etc) into the ColorTransform constructor and get it to work on a single line, but I've extended the ColorTransform class and want to be able to call the methods and properties the most efficiently. If anyone could help, that would be very much appreciated.

[Flashcoders] Font symbols, Polish, Export for Actionscript, barf
Hello, Flash seems to be particularly unfriendly when working with Polish text. If I create a font symbol, choose not to export it in the linkage properties, use it in a dynamic textfield played on the stage, embed Basic Latin plus the extra characters I need for Polish, and populate it with some French, German and Polish words, they all display fine. If I then choose to export my font symbol, then the Polish characters disappear - the French and German characters display fine. This would appear to me to be broken. - I don't suppose anyone has managed to resolve this problem? Or could tell me how I'm misunderstanding the situation. - Macromedia, please sort out fonts in the next version of the Flash IDE, they are a nightmare at the moment. Please let us select which glyphs we want for a font per movie, rather than per text field (maybe having an override option per text field). (I have submitted this as a feature request). I can't think of many scenarios where you might want to stop characters appearing in field that couldn't just be achieved by some script. Or am I alone in this one?

Re: [Flashcoders] Most efficient way to set a ColorTransform property on a MovieClip
This is a classic object oriented problem. The MovieClip can´t know that the rbg property has changed from his ColorTransform property. There ar 3 solutions: The first is the easier for Macromedia but worst for us programers. The movieClip, update its ColorTransform when you set it, like this mc.colorTransform = new ColorTransform The second solution would be with listeners. When you assign mc.colorTransform = new ColorTransform, the movie clip do colorTransform.addEventListener(COLOR_CHANGE, The third would be the color transform has a reference to the movieClip and do the same done on the first situation, so when you assign colorTransform.rbg = 0xFF the color transform do: parentMovieClip.colorTransform = this (where this is the colorTransform) Those solutions are fine if you want to change only one property, but if you change 6 properties, the movieClip would be updated 6 times on the last two solutions. Unless the movieClip waits to update only at some internal refresh frame event (but this is with macromedia). My suggestion is create a helper class that would do the follow? new HelperColorTransform(movieClip).rgb = 0xFF; and inside you would do what you can´t do with one line of code. Let´s extends the discussion, since this problem exists in many places of Flash.

[Flashcoders] New to the list - got a question
Hi All,
I'm new to the list, so appologies if I don't get the posting right on this -
but I have a question.
I'm trying to load in a set of XML data, manipulate it and then get it to
display on the stage. So far so good on the first two fronts - I can get the
data in and get everything I want out of it.
Now the amount of XML is dynamic, so I have pushed the needed data into an
array.
For example.
XML:
xml
data
item/item
/data
data
item/item
/data
/xml
The amount of data elements is dynamic (and there is a lot of other rubbish
in the XML) so I've pushed all the data elements into an array.
So far, so good, I can cycle through the array and access the XML elements
using Xpath.
The problem is - for each data element, I want to create a new instance of a
MovieClip on the stage (thats already created in the library) and set varaibles
inside it, and change it's X and Y positions.
No problems creating it - but I can't access the MovieClip! Because the data is
dymanic, I need to be able to create x amount of MovieClips.
So I'm using the following code to do this:
//For each Data Element in the Array (x = 0; x numDataElementsInArray; x++)
{
var newItemDividerName:String = itemDividerStageRecord +x;
attachMovie(itemDivider, newItemDividerName ,x);
//Now this all works, a newMovieClip is created on the stage (for as many
elements as I have), 10 at the moment
}
Now the problem is - I then can't access the MovieClip dynamically. Basically I
want to be able to access it by the variable name
i've just assigned it.
For example - I now have (when it is published), 10 elements on level0, named
itemDividerStageRecord0-9.
So I want to set their cords. So what i've been doing is:
_root._level0.newItemDividerName._x = nextItemDivider; //nextItemDivider is a
Number which does increment
And thats not working at all - nothing is changing.
I've traced it down to the name I'm using to access it - if in the same loop I
put:
_root._level0.itemDividerStageRecord6._x = nextItemDivider;
That works for one MovieClip (obviously).
But I want to be able to access each MovieClip dynamically.
Is there any way to do this? I want to pass the instance name the varaible when
setting the cord, not use the absolute element name newitemDividerName.
Please let me know if this is confusing, I can explain better!
Cheers.

[Flashcoders] Overriding method FlashPaper
Hi I have a question. I am overridding the goToLinkTarget () method of
flashpaper object. The reason is that the links to pages, where not
opening in a new window. It works but somehow the anchors dont work
anymore. I dont understand why because I am simply just forwarding the
aguments. I hope someone can help me out.
Here is my code
code
var originalFlashPaperAPI={
goToLinkTarget: fp_document.goToLinkTarget
}
//override method
fp_document.goToLinkTarget = function (linktarget:String,
window:Object):Void {
if (arguments[0].indexOf(anchor)0){
originalFlashPaperAPI.goToLinkTarget(linktarget,_blank)
}else{
//format is anchor:foo
//but when harcoded it also doesnt work
originalFlashPaperAPI.goToLinkTarget(linktarget)
}
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] New to the list - got a question
Hi All,
I'm new to the list, so appologies if I don't get the posting right on
this
- but I have a question.
I'm trying to load in a set of XML data, manipulate it and then get it to
display on the stage. So far so good on the first two fronts - I can get
the
data in and get everything I want out of it.
Now the amount of XML is dynamic, so I have pushed the needed data into an
array.
For example.
XML:
xml
data
item/item
/data
data
item/item
/data
/xml
The amount of data elements is dynamic (and there is a lot of other
rubbish in the XML) so I've pushed all the data elements into an array.
So far, so good, I can cycle through the array and access the XML elements
using Xpath.
The problem is - for each data element, I want to create a new instance
of
a MovieClip on the stage (thats already created in the library) and set
varaibles inside it, and change it's X and Y positions.
No problems creating it - but I can't access the MovieClip! Because the
data
is dymanic, I need to be able to create x amount of MovieClips.
So I'm using the following code to do this:
//For each Data Element in the Array (x = 0; x numDataElementsInArray;
x++)
{
var newItemDividerName:String = itemDividerStageRecord +x;
attachMovie(itemDivider, newItemDividerName ,x);
//Now this all works, a newMovieClip is created on the stage (for as many
elements as I have), 10 at the moment
}
Now the problem is - I then can't access the MovieClip dynamically.
Basically I want to be able to access it by the variable name
i've just assigned it.
For example - I now have (when it is published), 10 elements on level0,
named itemDividerStageRecord0-9.
So I want to set their cords. So what i've been doing is:
_root._level0.newItemDividerName._x = nextItemDivider; //nextItemDivider
is
a Number which does increment
And thats not working at all - nothing is changing.
I've traced it down to the name I'm using to access it - if in the same
loop
I put:
_root._level0.itemDividerStageRecord6._x = nextItemDivider;
That works for one MovieClip (obviously).
But I want to be able to access each MovieClip dynamically.
Is there any way to do this? I want to pass the instance name the varaible
when setting the cord, not use the absolute element name
newitemDividerName.
Please let me know if this is confusing, I can explain better!
Cheers.
-Jon-

[Flashcoders] Flash / JavaScript Proxy - Paramteters undefined
Hi,
I have been trying to communicate between JS and Flash using the
JS/Flash integration kit from osflash.org.
Communication from AS to JS works fine, I am having problems with JS to
AS communication though: anytime I try to access an AS function from JS,
none of my parameters I try to pass to the AS-function are actually
recognized. Is there a trick to this? Maybe it is a scope problem? I am
not sure, but I cannot see a reason why this is not working.
Here is a very reduced version of my AS-Code:
Class FlvPlayer
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
import mx.utils.*;
import com.macromedia.javascript.JavaScriptProxy;
class FlvPlayer{
var jsProxy:JavaScriptProxy;
//Constructor Method
function FlvPlayer(flvPlaybackInstance:FLVPlayback) {
jsProxy = new JavaScriptProxy(_root.lcId, this);}
//is called from JS and is supposed to load the new file, but
does not receive any arguments -- all the vars are undefined
function loadNewFiles(item){
_root.debug(item + ' / vFile: '+ item.videoFile +/ cpFile:+
item.cuePointsFile); }
//called when a cuePoint is reached -- as2js com works fine
function cuePointReached(evtObj:Object){//call a js
funciton in page, that displays the tiel and description
jsProxy.call(displayDescription,
cuePointData[currentCuePoint].title,
cuePointData[currentCuePoint].description); currentCuePoint++;
}
}
-- the call inside my JS-File:
var dataObj = {movieUrl:'test',
cuePointFileUrl:cuePointFileUrl};
flashProxy.call('loadNewFiles', dataObj);
the function is called correctly but none of the parameters are passed,
dataObj is 'undefined' when I trace it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Andreas Stephan

RE: [Flashcoders] Strange Radio Button Behavior Problem
Thanks so much for your insight here -- it was indeed correct that the radio
buttons were being triggered after the onclick handler. Your script does also
work -- thanks!
I had found my script at:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_15174
Which is pretty old, but since I was trying to export to an older flash format
I thought it should work. Did this script EVER work?
-- Randal
At 4:57 PM -0500 8/1/06, phaedrus wrote:
The radio button is changing state after the clip event fires. Because of
this:
When you first click High, nothing has been set yet. After the event is
done, the High radio button gets set on.
The next time you check, the High radio button is on when the clip event
is fired and this is reported, regardless of which you clicked on. After
the clip event is done firing, the new state gets set.
And so on.
If you're not committed to adding the script to the container movie clip,
you can try the following (based on the docs here:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.ht
m?href=Part4_ASLR2.html )
Name the movie clip containing your buttons (eg: mcSpeedbuttons).
Alternatively, this clip isn't necessary and the buttons can be put on the
main timeline w/o a container.
I changed the data parameter on the buttons from speed to High and
Low, respectively.
I named the empty top layer in your flash app actions and added the
following actionscript to the first frame of the timeline in that layer:
speedButtonListener = new Object();
speedButtonListener.click = function (evt) {
trace(You selected + evt.target.selection.data);
dyntext.text = evt.target.selection.data;
}
mcSpeedbuttons.buttonGroup.addEventListener(click,speedButtonListener);
Testing the app, it seems to work like this.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Strange Radio Button Behavior Problem
I have come across what looks like a bug to me in the behavior of the
radiobutton component in Flash 8 Pro.
I have posted a movie at:
http://huntingdesign.com/radioproblem/radioproblem.html
And the source FLA at:
http://huntingdesign.com/radioproblem/radioproblem.fla
Here is the code applied to the movieclip that contains the radio buttons:
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if(hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, false)) {
for (item in this) {
rButton = this[item];
if (rButton.getState()) {
trace (You selected +rButton.getLabel());
_root.dyntext.text = rButton.getLabel();
}
}
}
}
This is taken pretty much straight from the Macromedia docs on radio
buttons. The behavior I see is that with one click nothing happens. With
another click the selected button get darkened, but no label is reported to
the dynamic text area or to the trace. Then with a click on the other radio
button the PREVIOUSLY SELECTED button now is reported. After that point
always the previously selected button is always reported, so if you click on
a button multiple times it reports the other button first then itself.
All I am trying to do here is create a simple interface to toggle between
two states in a movie, which I thought would be a logical use for radio
buttons -- but this is really frustrating.

RE: [Flashcoders] New to the list - got a question
Why not use:
var myMovie_mc:MovieClip = attachMovie(itemDivider, newItemDividerName
,x);
Then you can set the properties by doing:
myMovie_mc._x = nextItemDivider ;

That was André. But it should work if you have: _level0.[itemDividerStageRecord+x]._x = nextItemDivider; Then nextItemDivder should be equal to: _level0.itemDividerStageRecord0._x _level0.itemDividerStageRecord1._x _level0.itemDividerStageRecord2._x _level0.itemDividerStageRecord3._x _level0.itemDividerStageRecord4._x etc. If you have your instances named as such and your loop is working.

thanks for lending a hand. very much appreciated.

hi.
i'm using the tween class to move a map movie clip's x and y properties.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] x,y coordinates of a character
I think you're stuck with either mucking with bitmaps or measuring the width of each character, the kerning between each pair, the line heights...(hope you at least stick with one font size and one font for these text fields if you're working in Flash 7 or lower, and forget about Unicode) From: Robert Gordon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2006/08/02 Wed AM 09:56:38 CDT To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] x,y coordinates of a character Wish I could ...

RE: [Flashcoders] tweening multiple properties simultaneously
Haven't followed the thread close, but maybe wrap it up in a static
class like this - call your custom function which has all the tweens
combined. This is what I do, works for me. Something like this:
//file Animate.as in actionscriptclasspath/com/boa/effects/
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
class com.boa.effects.Animate{
public static function myFade(clip:MovieClip, time:Number,
xscale:Number, yscale:Number):Array{
var a:Object = new Tween(clip, _alpha, Regular.easeIn, 0, 100,
time, true);
var b:Object = new Tween(clip, _xscale, Regular.easeIn, xscale,
100, time, true);
var c:Object = new Tween(clip, _yscale, Regular.easeIn, yscale,
100, time, true);
//returnArray is just an array of the tweens
//so you can check to see if they are done:
var returnArray:Array = new Array(a,b,c)
return returnArray;
}
}
//.fla and/or other class usage:
import.com.boa.effects.Animate;
Animate.myFade(myClip, .5, 50, 50)

[Flashcoders] Local Video Window and VU meter
Hi, We are looking for a resource to build a simple 320x240 video window that displays an uncropped image from a local camera source, along with a simple VU meter that displays the level from a local microphone. Pretty basic. If you got the chops, drop me a note and we'll make something happen. Include your rate, any samples and an estimate of effort to be considered. We would like this done in the next 1-2 weeks. Thanks. ___ 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] Security Violation with FLV loading using NetConnection
A.swf: (local, on HD)
loads in B.swf (remote, on www.mydomain.com/dir/B.swf)
using a MovieClipLoader
B.swf starts a NetConnection to stream a FLV (from same domain,
www.mydomain.com/dir/files/movies/any.flv)
This works nicely if I compile B.swf and test (I see the FLV being
played)
now, if I upload B.swf on 'www.mydomain.com/dir/B.swf' and launch
A.swf from the local drive, this just fails with the following DUMB
message:
*** Security Violation ***
Connection interrupted with null - forbidden operation from
www.mydomain.com/dir/B.swf
-- distant SWF files don't have access to local files.
I am in a localTrusted sandbox, and using MovieClipLoader +
allowDomain always went fine for me.
here is all the code in B.swf:
var netConn = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);
var netStream = new NetStream(netConn);
var link = http://www.mydomain.com/dir/files/movies/any.flv;;
netStream.onStatus = function(info) {
}
this.video_player.attachVideo(netStream);
this.video_player.smoothing = true;
netStream.setBufferTime(5);
netStream.play(link);
(nb: this is the basic code for loading FLVs by creating a local stream)
How can I deal with 'null' ?
null is required for streaming FLV files without connecting to a FMS
(ex FCS) server (see live docs)
netConn.connect(null)
but then it fails the whole thing
of course, I did System.security.allowDomain(*);
What SHOULD I consider now ?
I am suspecting the connect method to pass the argument whatever it
is ... by passing 'null' Flash still tries to establish a connection,
hence my problem.
I was thinking someone did hack the NetConnection class (but I
couldn't find any hacked NetConnection), what else ?
thanks in advance,
Cedric
