[Flashcoders] Architechting a drag and drop component.
Hi folks. I've been thinking about developing a drag/drop label/drop zone component, that works in a similar way to the ones that come with Flash's quiz template. The way the flash one is laid out is: * Drag and Drop Activity Component o 8 Different drop label/zone pairs. These pairs seem to be 8 separate components themselves, rather than 8 instances of the same component. The reason for this seems to be that then, the programatically challenged can then just break them apart and draw away to their hearts content. Now, I'd like to develop a drag/drop pair that will also let aforementioned programatically challenged customise them, but without having the restriction of n predefined components that will do the same thing. Has anyone done anything like this before? I was hoping to make a component, of which they can drop any amount on to the stage, and customised as they wish. The idea I had was to use Linkages in the library, in a similar manner to specifying the skin for any other object. That way, they can have different movie clips for the initial and solved states, and another one that specifies the 'hit area'. Even better: Is it possible to write a custom properties panel that can browse the library? Any hints? -- Haikal Saadh Applications Programmer ICT Resources, TALSS QUT Kelvin Grove ___ 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] Flash Lite - what's happening
Well that might be case for Japan but I haven't seen a flash lite enabled mobile here in Australia. I just went to Europe a couple of weeks ago and Flash Lite dose not seem to be a big thing there either. Furthermore, I really can't be bothered developing Flash lite v.1.1. If Flash Lite were on every handset in the world and had full projector capability ( integration with hardware and OS ) - what would you do with it? Well - you could for example create widgets for mobile phones or games. Or you could use it as marketing tool, similar to a CD-ROM. However you would download the application via Bluetooth for a Flash lite terminal ... I think what we need is something like the Frog in the Blender application. I can remember that after this silly flash movie was sent around as an email attachment people suddenly knew what Flash was. Obviously we would need something more mature now. My point is Flash became successful because people can easily create Flash content and it can be played on almost any computer. But it's pointless to create content for something, which only exists on the Adobe site or in Japan (unless you happen to live in Japan) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keldon Rush Sent: Monday, 7 August 2006 3:40 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Lite - what's happening http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=vzw+flash+lite You literally can't buy a new handset in Japan that doesn't support Flash Lite.

[Flashcoders] PDF2SWF -- Problems with gradients
I've been having trouble with the conversion of PDFs to SWFs. If the PDFs are created in InDesign, gradients do not get converted properly using the PDF2SWF utility (http://www.swftools.org). In Quark however, the conversion works without problems. I understand that the reason for this, is that InDesign creates 'true' gradients, whereas Quark effectively fakes them. It looks as though PDF2SWF currently cannot handle the 'true' gradients effectively. My company is moving to 100% use of InDesign and since we have a need to regenerate the pages as SWFs, this is going to be a big headache. One work-around that I know will work, is to rasterize the gradients. I'd like to avoid this proceedure if I can, though, because its a lot of extra work. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Is there another tool other than PDF2SWF that can handle such conversions, without altering the layout? Or are there techniques in InDesign that I could use? Any ideas would be appreciated, Thanks, M. _ Windows Live Messenger has arrived.

John,
maybe have a look at swfmill.org or
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/. They're both GPL, so depending
on what you want to do this might be an issue, but there are some
others out there that maybe offer the code for licensing (the number
of swfmill contributors is small, so it might be possible, too, if you
ask).
Oh, and there's sswf.sf.net, I don't know the license, but it should
be worth checking out and has links to other projects.

Thanks for that suggestion. That was a fascinating journey. The closest

decoding them they may give you a run of pixels of a certain colour, or
something similar.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Lite - what's happening
carriers have total control in Japan which is what makes such a great development environment for content - you have 2 carriers with consistent platforms across devices - add to that DRM and you have a very nice platform for development. The thing with FL over there is that its used as a very basic content type, so animation and erm animation rule. There is very little usage beyond that. What is happening outside of Japan is that the content is completely different - there will be some cross over where concepts that worked in Japan will happen outside with FL but I think that will be a very small percentage of FL content outside Japan. In terms of FL2.0 timeframes - handsets have a long production lifecycle, end of story. So the only way FL could be here quicker is if FL2.0 was created sooner ;) Cheers Nick Anthony Lee wrote: i read somewhere that flash lite is far more popular in Japan Popular yes, but not due to a more conducive environment. Last time I looked the only carrier to have Flash Lite 2 handsets deliberately reengineered them to not work. Who knows why, probably some under the table thing to protect their 1.1 content providers. that the carries have far too much control over developers I believe that's the case in Japan too.

1.1 and you have to register with the carrier to be a content provider. ___ thats not true - you have to register to be part of their official portal - which is the same the world over. However you can distribute content through unofficial portals or through content aggregators without any operator contact. The key issue with any content provider is that you need to be able to bill for it - which necessitates some contact with an operator directly or indirectly.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Lite - what's happening
Robin Burrer wrote: [various statements/questions about Flash mobile adoption] North American is behind the curve, agreed... you'll hear similar statements over the last few years of exec interviews. Why? Partly because the early build-out of landlines in North America slowed the momentum for mobile communication -- there weren't coverage gaps as in other areas of the world, and so less necessity for mobile development. Another reason is that North America was an early adopter of widespread computer use, and so didn't have the necessity for data development either. There's no failure like success, and no success like failure. Why's it baked into the phones? Because mobiles differ more than computers, and consumer installation would not be practical. Where are the operators? In North America Verizon has already announced planned deployment, and the BREW announcements are now in public beta. For going back to old formats, that's true -- we've had to refactor downwards for the less capable devices. This discrepancy will diminish over time, although there's also pressure for desktop-only stuff like hardware-assisted rendering, but the goal is to reduce the differences among device types. Why can't they provide a flash projector provider for mobile phones? More and more, people are realizing that they don't want to install native code from strangers onto their devices. The Adobe Flash Player provides a sandbox in which safe instructions can run. Trusting strangers often works out well, but Don't get me wrong I'm really impressed with the performance of Flash Lite 2.0 player and its capabilities. Maybe that's why frustrated... I agree with you... it's hard waiting for the future to come.

[Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow on question
Getting back to this question I had back on Aug 1, thanks for the ideas.
I've built a basic HTML text editor in Flash using the TextFormat class.
Since I need to save the resulting HTML string back to a database, it
works great.
However, now I need to insert images into the HTML - which isn't
supported by the TextFormat class. So I was thinking I could just
insert an img tag string into the textField using
TextField.replaceSel(), like this:
test_txt.replaceSel(img src=\mountains.jpg\ width=\350\
height=\120\ /);
So that part works fine, but when I re-render the textField, the image
does not show (doesn't render as HTML), it shows the literal img
scr=...etc. characters in the textField (even though it is an HTML
textfield). I thought maybe I needed to re-render the textfield, so I
left the frame and then jumped back to it, and it still shows the
literal HTML. So in testing the value of the html TextField, I found
the and \ characters I inserted have been changed to encoded
entities in the HTML string:
lt;img src=quot;mountains.jpgquot; width=quot;350quot;
height=quot;120quot; /gt;
Why is that and how can I fix this? It would be pretty messy to use
the XML object to decode those entities - why are they getting rendered
that way in the first place?

I just did exactly this, a couple of days ago. I created a class that
can
apply any kind of supported HTML formatting. The idea seemed daunting
at
first, but the class is relatively small. You can assign/remove
textfields
that it should watch. I don't have it here with me right now, but
here's
the basics:
It doesn't use replaceText at all.
I have a switch statement for the various textformat options (some are
Boolean (bold, italic, etc) and some have arguments (leading, size,
etc).
When the textfield has focus use an interval to get the beginIndex and
endIndex. You can clear the interval onkillFocus.
Then in your setFormat function
Public function setFormat (type, arg):Void
{
var temp_fmt:TextFormat = currentField.getTextFormat(beginIndex,
endIndex);
switch (type)
{
case bold:
case italic:
case underline:
//etc...
{
temp_fmt[type] = temp_fmt[type] == false ? true
:
false;
break;
}
case leading:
case align:
case size:
//etc...
{
temp_fmt[type] = arg;
break;
}
}
currentField.setTextFormat(beginIndex, endIndex, temp_fmt);

Subject: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash?
Two related questions. In a nutshell, trying to make a WSIWYG HTML
text
editor for Flash 7.
Question 1:
Has anyone created an HTML text editor component or class of some kind
in Flash? Basically, having a textfield containing a paragraph of
text
the user can apply bold, size, font, etc. to - I assume it would use
something like:
textfield.replaceText(Selection.getBeginIndex(),Selection.getEndIndex(
),
theNewString)
or something to that effect.
So to my second question, I was able to get the above working, but the
html Textfield would not apply the new HTML tags, it would show them
literally when replaceText was used. Initially, I set the text with
textField.htmlText = myText and renders fine with the bolding, but
textField.replaceText() seems to not allow the textfield to show the
bold tags applied - it shows the literal tag. Any ideas?
Basically, would like to create a WSIWYG HTML text editor (flash 7),
but
from what I read in the archives, it's a lot harder than it sounds and
maybe not even possible in Flash right now, but I don't want to give
up
too early. It seems that all the basic methods are available, there
are
just some quirks to work out with the Textfield class.

RE: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow on question
Oh, and to follow up with some further information:
It seems to only encode those HTML entities when I use
TextField.replaceSel(). If I just add the img tag string on to the
htmltext field value, it works:
//works:
test_txt.htmlText += img src=\mountains.jpg\ width=\350\
height=\120\ /;
//fails - shows literal text, and encodes entities:
test_txt.replaceSel(img src=\mountains.jpg\ width=\350\
height=\120\ /);
Am I left with splitting the string in two, inserting the img tag, and
re-assembling the string? Or is there a way to get replaceSel() to work
with HTML tags?

There's FlashPaper, but I'm not sure how well that will integrate with your current workflow (you didn't say if you have occasional PDFs to convert, or if it needs to be an automated, fairly often process) -David R On 8/7/06, Marcus Cheetham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been having trouble with the conversion of PDFs to SWFs. If the PDFs are created in InDesign, gradients do not get converted properly using the PDF2SWF utility (http://www.swftools.org). In Quark however, the conversion works without problems. I understand that the reason for this, is that InDesign creates 'true' gradients, whereas Quark effectively fakes them. It looks as though PDF2SWF currently cannot handle the 'true' gradients effectively. My company is moving to 100% use of InDesign and since we have a need to regenerate the pages as SWFs, this is going to be a big headache. One work-around that I know will work, is to rasterize the gradients. I'd like to avoid this proceedure if I can, though, because its a lot of extra work. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Is there another tool other than PDF2SWF that can handle such conversions, without altering the layout? Or are there techniques in InDesign that I could use?

We used to do some JavaScript in the getURL before FP8 came out but it

well.
I think it stopped woking after a Windows update, but cant nail it down.

I'm going crazy with this. Hopefully, I'm just missing something stupid.
Weird getURL behavior in my Flash 8 player. Is there any reason why a Flash
file here:
http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/myFlashFile.swf
Would not be able to link to this:
http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/EARS_L3_Interview.doc
Same domain, same folder! Ah, this is so freaking aggravating. It was
working fine just a week ago. We did recently move the flash file and the
linked-to doc to a new server... is there something about a URL that doesn't
have www.mypage.com in it? I didn't think so... so anyway I am just using:
getURL(EARS_L3_Interview.doc, _blank);
or, I also tried the absolute path:
getURL(http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/EARS_L3_Interview.doc;,
_blank);
(note, don't try that paths above, it's on an intranet site and will fail
for you)
it does pop up a new window, but the window says,
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page
might be temporarily unavailable.
HOWEVER, the file IS there and available: if I put the path to the browser
address bar directly, it works fine!!! What's up with that?
Why would getURL only fail in Flash? My worst fear is there is some
security thing on the server the admins changed which is blocking my access
from Flash. Ideas?

While I've not run into these problems, I have had good experience with
the Flash/Javascript integration kit.
See http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flashjavascript/
Takes only a few lines of code to get it running, and the best part is
you don't have to worry about quote matching in those getURL() calls.

throws a security exception now so we are looking for another solution as
well.
I think it stopped woking after a Windows update, but cant nail it down.
Pre-FP8 fix: getURL(javascript:window.open('docname.doc'); void(0));

Subject: [Flashcoders] Weird getURL behavior
I'm going crazy with this. Hopefully, I'm just missing something stupid.
Weird getURL behavior in my Flash 8 player. Is there any reason why a Flash
file here:
http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/myFlashFile.swf
Would not be able to link to this:
http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/EARS_L3_Interview.doc
Same domain, same folder! Ah, this is so freaking aggravating. It was
working fine just a week ago. We did recently move the flash file and the
linked-to doc to a new server... is there something about a URL that doesn't
have www.mypage.com in it? I didn't think so... so anyway I am just using:
getURL(EARS_L3_Interview.doc, _blank);
or, I also tried the absolute path:
getURL(http://loerepository/evaluationGallery/EARS_L3_Interview.doc;,
_blank);
(note, don't try that paths above, it's on an intranet site and will fail
for you)
it does pop up a new window, but the window says,
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page
might be temporarily unavailable.
HOWEVER, the file IS there and available: if I put the path to the browser
address bar directly, it works fine!!! What's up with that?
Why would getURL only fail in Flash? My worst fear is there is some
security thing on the server the admins changed which is blocking my access
from Flash. Ideas?
