RE: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow onquestion
I think that replaceSel() acts on the rendered output rather than the
code, so it thinks that you want to actually display the text that you
entered rather than adding it to the code (hope that makes sense!)
You could scan through the textfield.htmlText value (i.e. the code) and
relate the selection index in the rendered output to the actual index in
the code, then insert your image code in the textfield.htmlText.
I have done this previously (for a different reason) by just running two
counters as I looped through each character in the code, one counter
counts every character and the other ignores characters that are part of
a tag.
Bit of a pain, but I hope it helps,
Giles

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?

Subject: [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); }
This should give you a head start.

inputField = this.createEmptyMovieClip(chat_input,1); then, with keyboard focus on that movieclip: trace(Selection.getFocus()); trace(inputField); outputs: _level0.chat_input; _level0.inputField; A) this makes Selection.getFocus() *awkward* in OOP.

inputField is a property of the object/movieclip it was created in. chat_input is the physical existance of the movieclip you're referencing with inputField. It doesn't seem retarded to me. You *may* want that separation for a reason some day down the line. I personally name then the same thing when it's referenced localy (in the same object): var inputField:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(inputField, this.getNextHighestDepth()); createEmptyMovieClip returns a MovieClip reference for you to use. Imagine if you created that movieclip in some other timeline/MovieClip. With that returned reference, you wouldn't really care where the movieclip lived, just as long as you had a reference to it. hth, On 8/8/06, Andreas Rønning [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -- [ JPG ] ___ 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] LoadMovie library
Hi,
I looked on the internet and did not find the answer. I read a few times
can't be done
What I want to do is load movieclips in my main.swf from a library.swf and
put those movieclips on the root or put movieclips from the root in the
controller of my loadmovie.
Secondly I want to add a movieclip who is in my main.swf library to the
controller_mc. But this is not possible.
I also try to put a movieclip which I loaded from the library.swf to the
root. But also that is not possible.
I cannot make use of the shared library because the name of the library.swf
should be dynamic.
Here is the code:
Where I load a circle mc from the library.swf into the controller_mc. This
works.
Where I load a circleRoot mc from the library of the current swf to the
controller_mc. This does not work.
Where I load a circle mc from the library.swf onto the current root. This
also does not work.
this.createEmptyMovieClip(controller_mc, 1);
var libMovie = library.swf;
controller_mc.loadMovie(libMovie);
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
var tLoaded, tBytes;
tLoaded = controller_mc.getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = controller_mc.getBytesTotal();
var percentage = int(tLoaded*100/tBytes);
if (isNaN(tBytes) || tBytes 4) return;
if (tLoaded/tBytes = 1) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
//attach circle from library.swf to controller_mc in
the main.swf
controller_mc.attachMovie(circle, circle_mc,
controller_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); //OK
//attach circleRoot from main.swf library to
controller_mc in the main.swf
controller_mc.attachMovie(circleRoot,
circle2_mc, , controller_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); //NOT OK
//attach circle from library.swf to the root of my
main.swf
_root. attachMovie circle, circle_mc,
_root.getNextHighestDepth()); //NOT OK
}
}
Is there perhaps an other way to load external movieclips from an other swf
(library.swf) onto the root of the main.swf?
Thx,
Bart

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
First of all, try MovieClipLoader to load your swf's..
If you don't want to use a runtime shared library, then I'd suggest
making each movieclip you want to load at runtime a separate swf.
You can export MovieClips directly from your library.
also, as long as it is set to export for actionscript, you can attach
any MC you want, to any other MC you want at runtime.

Re: [Flashcoders] Specifying constructors in interfaces
Interesting question, I don't think so because every class constructor
needs to be named like the class. So how would you define a constructor
in an interface in this case?:
public class Example implements IExample{
public funtion Example(){
}
}
public class Example2 implements IExample{
public funtion Example2(){
}
}
public interface IExample{
//constructor name?
}

[Flashcoders] how to set the root directory - swf vs html?
Hi, My HTML and my flash movie live in 2 different directories. So when I work in the flash IDE my swf can load all its assets but when I try to use that same swf via its HTML page the swf can't find its assets. Because it now has its root as the html root. I am pretty sure there's a work around to define the swf directory as the root not the html. thanks seb ___ 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] LoadMovie library
Thx for your reaction.
Unfortunately a shared library for each movieclip, would result in over 1000
swf's and this all for just calling some movieclips from an external
library, is overkill I think.
I hope there is still a better way for doing this.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
First of all, try MovieClipLoader to load your swf's..
If you don't want to use a runtime shared library, then I'd suggest
making each movieclip you want to load at runtime a separate swf.
You can export MovieClips directly from your library.
also, as long as it is set to export for actionscript, you can attach
any MC you want, to any other MC you want at runtime.

What I want to do is load movieclips in my main.swf from a
library.swf and
put those movieclips on the root or put movieclips from the root in
the
controller of my loadmovie.
Secondly I want to add a movieclip who is in my main.swf library to
the
controller_mc. But this is not possible.
I also try to put a movieclip which I loaded from the library.swf
to the
root. But also that is not possible.
I cannot make use of the shared library because the name of the
library.swf
should be dynamic.
Here is the code:
Where I load a circle mc from the library.swf into the
controller_mc. This
works.
Where I load a circleRoot mc from the library of the current swf to
the
controller_mc. This does not work.
Where I load a circle mc from the library.swf onto the current
root. This
also does not work.
this.createEmptyMovieClip(controller_mc, 1);
var libMovie = library.swf;
controller_mc.loadMovie(libMovie);
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
var tLoaded, tBytes;
tLoaded = controller_mc.getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = controller_mc.getBytesTotal();
var percentage = int(tLoaded*100/tBytes);
if (isNaN(tBytes) || tBytes 4) return;
if (tLoaded/tBytes = 1) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
//attach circle from library.swf to
controller_mc in
the main.swf
controller_mc.attachMovie(circle,
circle_mc,
controller_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); //OK
//attach circleRoot from main.swf library to
controller_mc in the main.swf
controller_mc.attachMovie(circleRoot,
circle2_mc, , controller_mc.getNextHighestDepth()); //NOT OK
//attach circle from library.swf to the
root of my
main.swf
_root. attachMovie circle, circle_mc,
_root.getNextHighestDepth()); //NOT OK
}
}
Is there perhaps an other way to load external movieclips from an
other swf
(library.swf) onto the root of the main.swf?

Re: [Flashcoders] Possible Challenge: AS 3.0 Compiler :)
It would be great to have the specs for AS3 just to modify current swfs in other ways (not necessarily compile from scratch). Obfuscation comes to mind ...

RE: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow onquestion
You could scan through the textfield.htmlText value (i.e. the code) and relate the selection index in the rendered output to the actual index in the code, then insert your image code in the textfield.htmlText. I have done this previously (for a different reason) by just running two counters as I looped through each character in the code, one counter counts every character and the other ignores characters that are part of a tag. Thanks Giles. That is what I was trying to avoid, especially since I need to give the user editing capability - so they can add and remove the tag at any time when editing the text. Could get messy real quick and be bug-prone. I think I might opt instead for keeping images out of the HTML altogether, and just use a MovieClip they load content into and position. It won't allow the text to wrap around the image, but oh well. Thanks for the many responses!

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?

[Flashcoders] quotes in XML
Hello all, I have an XML parsing question that I've been trying to solve for a little while now and I can't get it to work. I have a PHP script that loads text from an SQL db, formats it in an XML string and sends this string back to Flash using the LoadVars.sendAndLoad(script.php) function. This text that I send can be pretty much anything, including quotes and brackets and I cannot get Flash to read the XML properly. I tried encoding the string as ASCII characters ( becomes #34;) or using XML encoding ( becomes quot;), but since both these encodings use the ampersand () and since LoadVars returns variables in the MIME format, the ampersand is interpreted as the split between 2 variables. Right now, I managed to get the XML string intact to Flash using url-encoding ( becomes %22), but Flash automatically decodes these symbols and I get an error when I create an XML object using the string. Is there a way to re-encode the string before creating an XML tree from it? Is there a better way to do what I am trying to do?

Re: [Flashcoders] ExternalInterface, embed tag and IE
Vishal Kapur wrote of difficulty in persuading Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows to accept messages from Adobe Flash Player when the HTML markup IE ate contained only an EMBED tag, no OBJECT: In terms of why I can't use an object tag, I should have clarified that I do not have control over the HTML source. Not sure why they third-party that did develop the HTML chose to use embed, but the guess is that it's a little bit less code to get cross-browser compatibility (instead of using object with an embed sub-tag). There may be a way around this, but I think you may have to use the OBJECT tag to get that browser to function that way. Background: Browsers and their extensions have been able to communicate for years. Unfortunately, different browsers offered different mechanisms for host/guest communication. Microsoft offered ActiveX Scripting for its Windows browser. This lets ActiveX Controls talk to the host. ActiveX Controls are documented as being invoked with the OBJECT tag. Recent versions of IE have added the ability to guess which extension to invoke from filenames, which is why EMBED alone can often make the content display. But I don't know that Microsoft documents what range of functionality they support when controls are invoked this way... I think the rationale may have been to support Netscape Plugins rather than just ActiveX Controls, but like I've said, I don't see the browser makers document to this level of detail. If the client wants communication between the browser and its extensions, then they may need to set the markup in the way that browser expects. Wish I had a happier answer, and there may be a way to trick a particular version of Internet Explorer to do as you wish here, but that's all I've got on this type of issue at this time. jd -- John Dowdell .

If you scroll with the scrollpane's up and down buttons, the text on the very bottom of the content clip is never shown...it doesn't scroll far enough. It seems the only reliable way to scroll is to drag the scrollbar up and down, but I can't expect users to do this. Is this just an issue with Flash Player 9, am I doing something wrong, or is the ScrollPane just buggy? To see the problem, click on Rooms/Reservations, then Sussex. http://128.177.1.30/NEW/main.html Thanks, Randy Tinfow IMAGE PLANT ___ 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] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow on question
John, Thanks - yes, that class works, thanks for the link. But unfortunately, it appears it is the Textfield.replaceSel() function which encodes it upon display - so I would have to then parse through the textfield and find the encoded string, then decode it using that class, and put it back in the textfield - what a hassle! Is there another method to insert HTML tags into a textField besides replaceSel() which won't encode it? At this point, especially since I need to be able to allow the user to remove the tag as well, I think I'm just better off keeping the image separate from the HTML in a movieClip. Would seem to be much easier and less bug-prone. Thanks for the link though, I'm sure I can use than class in the future. I added it to my package library.

[Flashcoders] HTML in XML
I'm having a very weird problem and I'm hoping it's something simple that I'm overlooking. I have an xml document similar to this: news newsitem date=8/5/2006 headline=Some headlineBody of the news article. a href=http://www.google.com;Google/a More body of the article/newsitem newsitem date=8/1/2006 headline=Another headlineBody of the second article/newsitem /news The problem I'm having is that on the first article where the link is, flash is seeing that as the end of the first node and then it skips to the next one. I'm looping over the nodes in news and using this code: trace(newsNode.childNodes[i].firstChild.nodeValue); and all I would see for the first record is Body of the news article and then it goes on to the next one. A client is maintaining news through a flat xml file and wants to be able to add links. Am I missing something simple? Is there something else I need to do? Please help.

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML in XML
Hi John, The actual internal structure of the XML comes out as follows: news +-- newsitem |+-- TEXT NODE (Body of the news article.) |+-- a | | +-- TEXT NODE (Google) |+-- TEXT NODE (More body of the news article.) +-- newsitem etc. (I hope the formatting comes out) As you can see, you have to iterate through all the children of newsitem, rather than just using the firstchild. An alternative strategy would be to surround the body of the news item (including the anchor tags) with a CDATA section (look it up in any decent XML format reference) which would mean that all of the body would be treated as one node - as one string - and your anchor tags would be passed through the parser in the way I think you want.

[Flashcoders] Uncompress a gzipped file
I'm writing a program that processes a huge 4MB binary file in Flash 9. Thing is, if I compress it (specifically with gzip) I can lower the size to 1.67MB. My problem is that I can't uncompress it using ByteArray's uncompress() feature on the gzipped file. The documentation for compress() says that it uses zlib compression. Zlib is a compression library that is based on gzip. The even use the same algorithim, DEFLATE. I'm sure there's a way to do this. Does anybody have any ideas? Since they're roughly the same it seems like all you'd need is to change some header values, but I can't find anything myself. ___ 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] Accessing a Flash frame label
frame labels become numeric when published to SWF, so you wouldn't be able to do that.
