Re: [Flashcoders] Most efficient way to set a ColorTransform property on a MovieClip
So I guess what we're coming down to, is the fact that you have to have at least 3 lines of code: one for initializing the ColorTransform object, another for setting the ColorTransform value, and still another for setting the MovieClip's colorTransform property to the new ColorTransform object. For example: var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(); ct.rgb = 0x00; my_mc.transform.colorTransform = ct; Seems so odd that there's no way of combining these lines. Let me know if I'm missing something. It's not a problem to go this route, I just want to make it as efficient as possible. Thanks. On 8/2/06, Marcos Neves [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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.

Another approach is to use Steve Webster's Delegate. It's polymorphic

You get additional functionality similar to Joey Lott's version too,

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

Re: [Flashcoders] Font symbols, Polish, Export for Actionscript, barf
What most likely is happening is that when you are not exporting the font flash is using the fonts on your machine.

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?

This when movie is viewed in Flash Player 8, in IE and Firefox on Windows XP and on OSX. When the same swf is uploaded to an Apache Tomcat/5.5.12 server, with a jsp script to recieve the upload, then the problems start. The upload works ok on both PC and OSX, except that the onComplete event of the FileReference object is never called on OSX. It is essential to trap the onComplete event for the site to continue with its functionality. (If the file takes long enough to upload (more than a few fractions of a second) the the onProgress event is called while its uploading on PC and OSX.) Has anyone come across this problem or similar?

[Flashcoders] JavaScript to ActionScript Communication
Hi,
I have been trying to communicate between JavaScript and Flash using the
JavaScript/Flash integration kit from osflash.org.
Communication from ActionScript to JavaScript works fine, but I am having
problems with JavaScript to ActionScript communication: anytime I call an AS
function from JS, the function is called (so I assume set up my HTML/JS
correctly), but none of my passed parameters are recognized. Maybe it is a
scope problem? Has anyone ever managed to get this working inside an
AS-Class?
Cheers,
Andy
Here is a very reduced version of the Code:
- 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() {
jsProxy = new JavaScriptProxy(_root.lcId, this);
}
/*is called from JS, but does not receive any arguments -- item is
undefined*/
function loadNewFiles(item){
trace('object: '+item + / cpFile:+ item.cuePointsFile);
}
}
- JS-CODE inside page ---
var dataObj = {movieUrl:'test', cuePointFileUrl:'dummy.xml'};
flashProxy.call('loadNewFiles', dataObj);

How to mark an region over loading an image into a bitmapData on the stage and
copy parts of it ?
I´ve tryed the simplest example from FL 8 reference manual and I didn´t get
just to load the image on the stage
In the manual
...
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var linkageId:String = libraryBitmap;
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(linkageId);
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(mc, this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.attachBitmap(myBitmapData, this.getNextHighestDepth());
..
as loadBitmap is a static method so I must have inside a class so I did
import flash.display.BitmapData;
class LoadBitmap
{
private var _myBitmap:BitmapData ;
function LoadBitmap (holder:MovieClip,linkageID:String)
{
trace( LoadBitmap constructor + holder ++ linkageID);
// it works
//_myBitmap = new BitmapData(100, 80, true, 0x);
// it does not works and I get undefined to _myBitmap
//_myBitmap= BitmapData.loadBitmap (linkageID);
trace ( _myBitmap ) ;
var mc:MovieClip = holder.createEmptyMovieClip (mc,
holder.getNextHighestDepth());
mc._x = 0;
mc._y = 0;
mc.attachBitmap ( _myBitmap, 0);
}
}
and instantiate it in the main timeline
var loadBitmap:LoadBitmap = new LoadBitmap(this, myPhoto);
Nothing happens
What am I doing wrong?
in time: myPhoto is there in the Library

Re: [Flashcoders] video playing help - newbie
Use the flash shared object to set a flash cookie. This way, when the user
comes back, the playhead will skip the intro and go to a specified frame.
You can also use it to control an flv or anything else.
// sets flash shared object
version = SharedObject.getLocal(intro_data);
// if first time, show intro
if (version.data.intro == undefined) {
version.data.intro = playIt;
version.flush();
trace(version.data.intro);
gotoAndPlay(first_time); // play the intro
}
else // if not first time, go to nav
{
gotoAndPlay(second_time); // go to the frame for 2nd time viewers
version.data.intro = dontPlayIt;
version.flush();

[Flashcoders] RE: tweening multiple properties simultaneously
For what it's worth, I spent a lot of time creating a TweenLite class that
does exactly what you want (I think). It adds less than half of the Kb to
the SWF compared to other Tweening engines I've worked with (about 2Kb) and
it allows you to very easily tween multiple properties with a single call
like so:
gs.TweenLite.to(mcClip, 1.5, {_x:120, _y:50, _xscale:70, _yscale:70, ease:
Strong.easeOut});
You can even delay the tween for a set amount of time, have it call a
function when it's done, pass arguments to that function, and more. See the
documentation at the top of the class file for more info.
Download it at:
http://www.greensock.com/ActionScript/TweenLite.zip
I hope it serves you well. This is, by the way, the first time I've made my
little TweenLite class publicly available and I'm hoping it'll prove
valuable for others as well. I'd welcome comments/suggestions (please be
kind).

Re: [Flashcoders] video playing help - newbie
Could either use shared object to determine if the computer had viewed the
video before, or perhaps some user-variable on a server side script. I
suppose good old cookies might even do the trick.
I typically prefer shared objects to cookies. For no particular reason, just
find them easier I guess. Here's some psuedo code mixed with shared object
programming
//Before video starts
var my_so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(vidViewed);
var hasSeenVid = my_so.data.hasSeenVid;
if(hasSeenVid == undefined){
hasSeenVid = false;
}
if(!hasSeenVid){
//start video

Re: [Flashcoders] x,y coordinates of a character
I'm trying to handle a dynamic 'fill in the blanks' type of interaction -
where the client does not have advanced knowledge of the question content
('blank' keywords will be delimited in some way).
I've experimented with solution that, to this point, is working beautifully.
I colour the word-of-interest different than the rest of the content,
capture as a bitmap object, then determine the rect of the colored area. I
cycle through each key word and voila! I know exactly where to place my
drag-to boxes...

One thought I had was to recolor the field to white, colour the

[Flashcoders] LoadVars - sending an array
Hello,
I'm working on a flash game sending data to an Apache module
through the LoadVars.sendAndLoad() (i.e. I use neither XML, nor AMF,
but send the application/x-www-form-urlencoded strings around).
I wonder, how do the other folks send arrays, since you
unfortunately can't send a key more than once:
var resp_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
resp_lv.decode('my_array=1my_array=2');
for (var key in resp_lv) {
trace('key=' + key + ', val=' + resp_lv[key]);
}
this will print only the last one:
key=my_array, val=2
So what do you guys use? Do you glue array elements
together using %0A or %00 or is there smth. better?
Regards
Alex

Re: [Flashcoders] tweening multiple properties simultaneously
I did some tests here with one rectangle and I think it is related to the mc
origin point
When one tween scales it, it grows from its left upper corner but the
another tween doesn´t know about the changes and make the movement based
on the original position.
So you have to use onMotionChanged to get each ._width after each scale and
then center at the same time
João Carlos
function moveAndScaling (activeState:MovieClip)
{
// move it to the center of the stage.
var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween (activeState, _xscale, Regular.easeOut,
activeState._xscale, 200, 2, true);
var myTweenY:Tween = new Tween (activeState, _yscale, Regular.easeOut,
activeState._yscale, 200, 2, true);
//
myTweenX.onMotionChanged = function ()
{
var nX:Number = (Stage.width / 2) - activeState._width / 2;
var nY:Number = (Stage.height / 2) - activeState._height / 2;
activeState._x = nX;
activeState._y = nY;
};

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] Fw: grab a bitmap region?
Does anyone has some links or directions about :
How to mark an region over loading an image into a bitmapData on the stage and
copy parts of it ?
At the same time I´ve tryed the simplest example from FL 8 reference manual and
I didn´t get just to load the image on the stage
In the manual
...
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var linkageId:String = libraryBitmap;
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(linkageId);
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(mc, this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.attachBitmap(myBitmapData, this.getNextHighestDepth());
..
as loadBitmap is a static method I must have inside a class so I did
import flash.display.BitmapData;
class LoadBitmap
{
private var _myBitmap:BitmapData ;
function LoadBitmap (holder:MovieClip,linkageID:String)
{
trace( LoadBitmap constructor + holder ++ linkageID);
// it works
//_myBitmap = new BitmapData(100, 80, true, 0x);
// it does not works and I get undefined to _myBitmap
//_myBitmap= BitmapData.loadBitmap (linkageID);
trace ( _myBitmap ) ;
var mc:MovieClip = holder.createEmptyMovieClip (mc,
holder.getNextHighestDepth());
mc._x = 0;
mc._y = 0;
mc.attachBitmap ( _myBitmap, 0);
}
}
and instantiate it in the main timeline
var loadBitmap:LoadBitmap = new LoadBitmap(this, myPhoto);
Nothing happens
What am I doing wrong?
in time: myPhoto is there in the Library
Thanks in advance

Re: [Flashcoders] Security Violation with FLV loading using NetConnection
oh, forgot to mention the FUN part:
works if A.swf is publish in HTML (browser)
but fails if A.swf is published as executable :-)
all together: laugh, please laugh!
netConnect.connect(null) is considered a link :D
nice code!
*** Security Violation ***

cedric
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
