Re: [Flashcoders] Uncompress a gzipped file
My progress in this has stalled. I'm pretty confident now the last two bits in a ByteStream compressed with compress() are a checksum, and I'm almost completely sure it's a crc-16 checksum (although it's always off by one, I can't say I know why).

Re: [Flashcoders] Uncompress a gzipped file
Max, not sure if this helps but it's worth a try. I was trying to uncompress files from zip archives a while ago. The most common compression method used in zip is deflate (as you already know) so theroretically it shouldn't be a problem to uncompress() files in a zip, BUT.. the thing is, although both Flash and the common 3rd party zip tools use the same compression method, they use different checksums. Zlib (Flash) uses an ADLER32 checksum, see RFC 1950 [1], whereas zip uses CRC-32 [2]. The checksum is calculated over the uncompressed file so imho it's impossible to uncompress a file in a 3rd party created zip archive (you don't have the ADLER32 checksum that Flash needs - the dog bites its tail there), which really is a pity. Please let me know if you find a way around that, i'd be very interested. I'll do the same. Maybe we should joint our efforts there. Cheers, Claus.

Gzip actually includes a checksum, but it's crc-32, not crc-16. It's not as if you can know what the crc-16 checksum is without decompressing the file first. So basically, flash needs the checksum before it will decompress the binary data, and you don't have it with a normal gzip file. Now I'm starting to think gzip is a dead end and a custom format would probably be more useful. Anyway, making a custom format is out of my league it seems.

[Flashcoders] DK - destroying objects from a class using array notation
Hi there! I have a class in which a few objects are created from my library
(loader
component instances and a button instance). They were created sequenciually (IE
hit0,
hit1, hit2, etc) At any rate - I need to destroy them abd then recreate them.
I am having some issues finding the proper syntax to use destroyObject
For example I tried.
(from within my class)
function killElements()
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i 35; i++)
{
this._targetMc.destroyObject(slidemenu[theThumb + i]);
this._targetMc.destroyObject(slidemenu[theHit + i]);
}
}
this obviously does not work
My target hierarchy is
_root._targetMc.slidemenu (with the button and loader objects created in here).
Ideas?
Thanks!

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library
Tony, You just have to access them from the scope they where born to. I can access them indeed in the scope where they are created. But the problem is that I can't add other assets (movieclips) to that scope. I want this because I want to separate code from viewing assets, and import different templates. I want for example to put my video object on the scope of my imported assets so I can mask my video object. I want to use a mask of the imported assets and I want to put some imported assets like a shadow border on top of my video. This is only possible if I get my video object on the same scope as the imported assets or if I get the assets that I want on top of the video object in a different movieclip (duplicatemovieclip). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Lee Sent: donderdag 10 augustus 2006 6:49 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie library Bart, I don't find a solution where I can get my movieclips away of the library container to some movieclip on the main.swf.

Re: [Flashcoders] Uncompress a gzipped file
Imagine compressing XML files to a tiny fraction of their original size and decompressing them within flash! No need, you can do this now. If you gzip a file and send it via post response (sendAndLoad), the browser will decompress it for you automatically (as long as the header says it's compressed). I implemented it in an app I built almost 2 years ago, where all XML data from the server was compressed. The only downside is that you lose the ability to getBytesLoaded, because the browser can't uncompress the file until it is completely loaded, and flash doesn't get any of the file until it is uncompressed. The uses are endless, especially when you start to think about compressing files within flash and sending them other places. The problem there is that the CPU power required to zip any sizeable amount of data with any reasonably good compression scheme will bring the Flash player to its knees. And if the data isn't that large, it doesn't really need to be compressed, does it? I, too, am working on some compression classes, but I'm pretty busy with other stuff right now and haven't had time lately to mess with it. Anyway, making a custom format is out of my league it seems. I tried working something out with Python but I can't pull it off. Surely the throngs of people interested in this would figure something out, unless I'm alone... I wrote an RLE class a while back, but it's not useful for anything large, and for smaller stuff the compression isn't that great. And you would also have to write the same class on the server side if you wanted to use it anywhere but flash. It's mostly useful for storing large, repetitive blocks of text for reuse in Flash later. 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

ryanm wrote: Imagine compressing XML files to a tiny fraction of their original size and decompressing them within flash! No need, you can do this now. If you gzip a file and send it via post response (sendAndLoad), the browser will decompress it for you automatically A possible use case: You need to load themes into your application at runtime. Those themes potentially consist of many assets of different type (xml, bitmap, swf, etc) and people should be able to create those assets using their favourite tools which may or may not include flash. In order to minimize requests to the server you could offer a way to pack them together accompanied by a catalog xml file (think swc). Again, users should be able to use their favourite zip tool to do that. As FP9 supports runtime un/compressing of ByteArrays, it is theoretically possible to let it load zip archives and uncompress the contained files at runtime, with minimal processor load. The problem however is that zip and zlib use different checksum methods, you thus can't uncompress files contained in zip archives created by 3rd party tools. You probably would have to write your own zip-like tool that uses either FP9 or a zlib library to compress files, and use ADLER32 checksums instead of the usual CRC-32 checksums.

I think I will be forced to use the bitmap class of flash 8 to take a bitmap of the imported assets and copy thos bitmaps on to the stage :-s This has 2 big disadvantages: - processor overkill, first load a movieclip into a container, take a bitmap copy of that movieclip, create new movieclip, put that bitmap into the new movieclip, remove the movieclip from the container (imagine this for 500 assets ...) - the quality of a bitmap is not that of a vector, so I will have to make the vector movieclips quit big so I don't lose to much detail when I make a bitmap and a user scales his window to a bigger screen.

Re: [Flashcoders] Prefixing property names with underscore - conventions?
We tend to use them to specify private properties.
class MyClass
{
private var _something1:Number;
public var something2:Number;
}
Partly because it then makes replacing a public property with a
getter/setter pair easy:
class MyClass
{
private var _something1:Number;
private var _something2:Number;
public function get something2():Number {return _something2;}
public function set something2(num:Number):Void {_something2=num;}
}
and partly because it's easier to think up names in situations like:
class MyClass
{
private var _something1:Number;
public function MyClass(something1:Number)
{
_something1=something1;
}
}
It's a just a convention we use in-house; there aren't any
Actionscript Community wide hard-and-fast rules about it.
Of course, Macromedia themselves vary whether they use underscores or
not for public variables, and I've never figured out the rhyme and
reason. Why _x and _y and _visible but not _enabled? Why not just x
and y?

This seems to work just fine.
Anyway I need to change this so they move in an oval shape (like an egg on
its side)
Not being a mathematics expert I wondered if anyone can suggest how I can
amend my code to do so.

You can fake in with _xscale/_yscale changes...

vStar_Object._xscale -= inc;
vStar_Object._yscale = vStar_Object._xscale;

vStar_Object._xscale += inc;

Re: [Flashcoders] Uncompress a gzipped file
Zlib (Flash) uses an ADLER32 checksum, see RFC 1950 [1], whereas zip uses CRC-32 [2]. The checksum is calculated over the uncompressed file so imho it's impossible to uncompress a file in a 3rd party created zip archive (you don't have the ADLER32 checksum that Flash needs - the dog bites its tail there), which really is a pity. Yeah, the same think happened with gzip for me. I wasn't aware that Adler32 was being used though, thanks. No need, you can do this now. If you gzip a file and send it via post response (sendAndLoad), the browser will decompress it for you automatically (as long as the header says it's compressed). I implemented it in an app I built almost 2 years ago, where all XML data from the server was compressed. The only downside is that you lose the ability to getBytesLoaded, because the browser can't uncompress the file until it is completely loaded, and flash doesn't get any of the file until it is uncompressed. Yeah but only so many browsers support this, IE6 doesn't, that's 90% of the Internet right there. The problem there is that the CPU power required to zip any sizeable amount of data with any reasonably good compression scheme will bring the Flash player to its knees. And if the data isn't that large, it doesn't really need to be compressed, does it? I, too, am working on some compression classes, but I'm pretty busy with other stuff right now and haven't had time lately to mess with it. Not as much as you'd think (I think), flash files are commonly compressed themselves, and it's not much for Flash to decompress them on the spot. It's not as if I'm not expecting a little extra loading time here, but I'm not writing the decompressor in Actionscript, the whole point of this is to make Flash do the hard work. I wrote an RLE class a while back, but it's not useful for anything large, and for smaller stuff the compression isn't that great. And you would also have to write the same class on the server side if you wanted to use it anywhere but flash. It's mostly useful for storing large, repetitive blocks of text for reuse in Flash later. Personally the ideal situation for me would be a customized version of something like gzip, only one that provided the proper checksums that Flash wants. Expecting the server to compress this might be too much, all i had in mind were pre-compressed files. Choosing whether or not to compress them is a choice based on the advantages versus the disadvantages. In my case it's a huge advantage, since even the fastest compression shrinks my particular file by 60%, I'm sure most huge text/xml files could easily beat that. ___ 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] Tooltip rollovers for textinput..help plss
Hey chris,
Thank you very much for your help and time.I have good news about this
program. focusIn and focusOut events worked and now as long as I am not
using onRollOver, onROllOut, onPress, onRelease the program is working
fine. But there is one problem when I use focus in and out..i.e when I
click on the textinput, I am getting the rollover and also could enter
data, but when I come out (focus out)...untill I click somewhere else,
that rollover is getting carried. If that small problem is solved..that
will be a huge conquer for me. I am trying different ways to get it. If
you have time, can you please suggest me some ideas from your side. Once
again thank you very much for your help...here is the code
txt.addEventListener(focusIn,Delegate.create(this,txtOver));
txt.addEventListener(focusOut,Delegate.create(this,txtPress));
private function txtOver(){
tt786 = new
customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt786.showTip(Total sales.);
}
private function txtPress(){
tt786.removeTip();
// TRIED onRollOut also
tx.onKillFocus = function(){
tt786.removeTip();
trace(is it coming out?);
}
}

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Tooltip rollovers for textinput..help plss
wow, ok, I've spent way too much time on this so I have to get back to
work. But here's what my last hour showed me:
txt has no onPress, onRelease, etc.
You cannot determine if the TextField inside a TextInput is rolled over
or out. There are no onRollOver/onRollOut methods to use.
You can determine if the TextInput receives focus(ie is clicked in or
tabbed to) with
txt.addEventListener(focusIn,this);
txt.addEventListener(focusOut,this);
You can consistently determine a way to show the clip by putting an
invisible button above the text field. But this stops the text field
from receiving input, and so you must set _visible=false on the button
after its rolled over. But now we have no way of determining when we've
rolled off the textfield, and so there's no way to turn off the tooltip.
I never realized how broken this whole thing is. But it seems like
TextField (not TextInput) objects don't have any event handling, and
instead whatever behind them will receive onRollOver/Out events. This
makes it really hard to do anything like a tooltip with them.
Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer!

Re: [Flashcoders] Reporting load success from a delegate
You can use the EventDispatcher.

import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class myClass
{
private var myxml:XML;
//declare the functions
private var dispatchEvent:Function;

public function myClass()
{
//initialize EventDispatcher
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
this.myxml = new XML();
this.myxml.ignoreWhite = true;
this.myxml.onLoad = Delegate.create(this,DoSomething);
this.myxml.load(test.xml);
}
private function doSomething(success:Boolean)
{
trace(success= +success);
//create the object to be dispatched
var myObject:Object = new Object();
//add the type
myObject.type = onXMLLoad;
/*

* to add it to the object. It tells the user what class

*/
myObject.success = success;
myObject.target = this;
dispatchEvent(myObject);
}
}
And in your .fla:
var foo:myClass = new myClass();
foo.addEventListener(onXMLLoad, this);
function onXMLLoad(eObj:Object):Void
{
trace(Success? +eObj.success);
}
Ps: It's a good practice to start your classes with a capital letter
(MyClass in stead of myClass).

Re: [Flashcoders] DK - destroying objects from a class using arraynotation
If its mx.core.UIObject's destroyObject that you are talking about,
destroyObject takes the instanceName of the object, not the instance
reference. you'll just have to pass the instance name as a string.
So, your code should look somethng like:
function killElements()
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i 35; i++)
{
this._targetMc.slidemenu.destroyObject(theThumb + i);
this._targetMc.slidemenu.destroyObject(theHit + i);
}
}
Hope that helps!

Re: [Flashcoders] Tooltip rollovers for textinput..help plss
Yeah, I tried a lot of methods to attempt to get the tooltip to
disappear and ran into just too many problems. I'm sure there's a way
tho using some ridiculous workaround. If you find the answer, please
post it!
And, perhaps I should've mentioned this earlier, but I do have a ToolTip
class available on my website:
http://ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=96
I just updated it with the latest version, which has a couple
fixes/features added. For my own projects, I don't actually use
onRollOver/Out etc. for toolitps because they generally muck up event
handling elsewhere. I don't recommend my method necessarily but it has
worked for me in the past better than mucking with event handling.
Adding a tooltip to a TextInput using my method is as simple as this:
ToolTip.getInstance().addClip(txt, My tooltip text);
You can download the zip, check out the fla, and install and modify the
packages if it works for you.

Hey chris,
Thank you very much for your help and time.I have good news about this

using onRollOver, onROllOut, onPress, onRelease the program is working
fine. But there is one problem when I use focus in and out..i.e when I
click on the textinput, I am getting the rollover and also could enter
data, but when I come out (focus out)...untill I click somewhere else,
that rollover is getting carried. If that small problem is solved..that
will be a huge conquer for me. I am trying different ways to get it. If
you have time, can you please suggest me some ideas from your side. Once

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Tooltip rollovers for textinput..help plss
wow, ok, I've spent way too much time on this so I have to get back to
work. But here's what my last hour showed me:
txt has no onPress, onRelease, etc.
You cannot determine if the TextField inside a TextInput is rolled over
or out. There are no onRollOver/onRollOut methods to use.
You can determine if the TextInput receives focus(ie is clicked in or
tabbed to) with
txt.addEventListener(focusIn,this);
txt.addEventListener(focusOut,this);
You can consistently determine a way to show the clip by putting an
invisible button above the text field. But this stops the text field
from receiving input, and so you must set _visible=false on the button
after its rolled over. But now we have no way of determining when we've
rolled off the textfield, and so there's no way to turn off the tooltip.
I never realized how broken this whole thing is. But it seems like
TextField (not TextInput) objects don't have any event handling, and
instead whatever behind them will receive onRollOver/Out events. This
makes it really hard to do anything like a tooltip with them.
Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer!

Re: [Flashcoders] New Flash based website
Hi Bjorn, There is an issue that occurs when users with smaller monitors (13 macbooks) accessing 100% flash content. Say you do not want to scale the content down to 13. You also do not want to write a flash scroller, because the browser has excellent support and performance for this, and Flash might have a harder time. So my solution is that I detect the window height/width, and if they are less than my minimum, I set the swf object to my minimum height, otherwise I allow it to be 100% with noScale. You can see an example of this at a site I am working on (still in dev): http://build.lab-media.com/mpvs Cheers! -- Aaron Buchanan | Flash Developer, Lab-Media.com | T 909 702 1368 On 8/9/06 10:28 PM, Bjorn Schultheiss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tone, noScale showAll?

They are simply a regular button (transparent) that is attached from the library with a linkage identifiers. So I just need to get them destroyed as well. I suspect there is a different command to do that since they are not components I am searching, but have not yet found out how to... so if anyone knows - it would be appreciated.

I noticed a site doing that just this morning. Switching the swf

Does anyone have any sample code they could point at?

Re: [Flashcoders] Uncompress a gzipped file
Personally the ideal situation for me would be a customized version of something like gzip, only one that provided the proper checksums that Flash wants. Expecting the server to compress this might be too much, all i had in mind were pre-compressed files. Choosing whether or not to compress them is a choice based on the advantages versus the disadvantages. In my case it's a huge advantage, since even the fastest compression shrinks my particular file by 60%, I'm sure most huge text/xml files could easily beat that. To me, the most useful thing would be a a standardized implementation, so that it could be compressed at runtime or in advance, so that it can be used with packages like you were describing, or individual (possibly dynamic) files compressed by the server. Something like that will have to use the same CRC as the other common implementations of the same compression, so it will likely have to be entirely AS and not use the built in player compression. 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] Tooltip rollovers for textinput..help plss
Hi chris,
I got an idea and when I implemented it worked very good(except for
small bugs).
I added a movieclip(invisible) behind the textinput and and used
rollover and rollout by using the coordinates of the movie clip.
It is working good as I could see the rollover and enter the data and
also when out of the textinput,rollover is disappearing.The small bug is
that when I drag the mouse very fast out of the textinput,the rollover
is getting carried and randomly(maybe once in 15-20 times) dragging out
of the textinput,rollover is staying...atleast for sometime...it is
perfect and is working what we wanted.Here is the code.
var txt_invisible_mc:MovieClip;
Function onLoad() {
txt_invisible_mc.onRollOver = Delegate.create(this,function()
{
if(tt == undefined)
{
tt = new
customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,50,10,15,20);
tt.showTip(Total Annual sales);
}
});
txt_invisible_mc.onRollOut = txt_invisible_mc.onDragOut =
Delegate.create(this,function()
{
if(_xmouse = txt_invisible_mc._x ||
_xmouse = txt_invisible_mc._x +
txt_invisible_mc._width ||
_ymouse = txt_invisible_mc._y ||
_ymouse = txt_invisible_mc._y +
txt_invisible_mc._height)
{
trace(tool tip hidden);
tt.removeTip();
tt = undefined;
}
});
}
Everything is working good except for sometime, the rollovers are
getting carried...
Thanks,
Subba

Yeah, I tried a lot of methods to attempt to get the tooltip to
disappear and ran into just too many problems. I'm sure there's a way
tho using some ridiculous workaround. If you find the answer, please
post it!
And, perhaps I should've mentioned this earlier, but I do have a ToolTip
class available on my website:
http://ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=96
I just updated it with the latest version, which has a couple
fixes/features added. For my own projects, I don't actually use
onRollOver/Out etc. for toolitps because they generally muck up event
handling elsewhere. I don't recommend my method necessarily but it has
worked for me in the past better than mucking with event handling.
Adding a tooltip to a TextInput using my method is as simple as this:
ToolTip.getInstance().addClip(txt, My tooltip text);
You can download the zip, check out the fla, and install and modify the
packages if it works for you.

Re: [Flashcoders] Uncompress a gzipped file
Bingo! I've put together a hack that shows this is possible. I tried
doing this with Python, but then I noticed php has the same features
and I'm no good with Python.
Here's how to do it. Make a php file that uses gzcompress, something
like this...
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
print gzcompress(this is a test string,9);
Run the page through your browser and save the file somewhere. Then
create a class that opens and uncompress()'s the file. It seriously
works. I'm posting my sample here, I hope email doesn't mangle it.
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
public class Testify {
static private var url:String = testfile;
private var urlLoader:URLLoader;
public function Testify() {
trace(Loading +url);
urlLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete);
urlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,onError);
urlLoader.load(new URLRequest(wadUrl));
}
private function onComplete(e:Event):void {
trace(Loaded);
var data:ByteArray = urlLoader.data;
urlLoader.data = null;
urlLoader.close();
urlLoader = null;
data.uncompress();
data.position = 0;
trace(data.readUTFBytes(data.bytesAvailable));
}
private function onError(e:Event):void {
trace(Error);
}
}
}
It worked for me. Zlib files are a standard I suppose, any language
with access to zlib could probably pull it off.
Also, Claus, I didn't think of that at all, if you could create a
flash-compatible zip file a wide range of assets could be compressed
into a single file and decompressed within Flash. That's easily the
most intriguing idea I've heard yet.

[Flashcoders] DK - redrawing interface elements after destruction
Hi there - I have two methods in a class - one that creates a bunch of thumbnails, and one that wipes them out to be redrawn again at a later time (due to requiring a different number of thumbnails). At any rate - when i create my thumbnails, all works fine the first time, but after they have been wiped out, and I recall my method to re-draw the thumbnails, for some reason my buttons are not working. Now I did a bunch of tracing tests to see if: 1) they were created properly 2) if they were put into the proper x y locations 3) if the buttons created were actually there by the proper instance names 4) the buttons were actually the proper type (ie instanceof) 5) if the MC's created were actually there by the proper instance names 6) the MC's were actually the proper type (ie instanceof) They all traced back properly. But for some reason the buttons do not work (the cursor does not change into the hand). And no onPress events are fired. I loop through a database result to build the buttons within empty MC's also created at runtime. While it loops it is also creating runtime loader components and assigning thumbnails to them. Then when a person clicks for the next page of thumbnails, another function is called which uses destroyObject to remove my loader instances, and then uses unloadMovie to remove MC's which contain my buttons. Then the recordset is incremented and the function is called all over to build the next pages of thumbnails. ideas? ___ 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] New Flash based website
Hi Aaron, There is an issue that occurs when users with smaller monitors (13 macbooks) accessing 100% flash content. Say you do not want to scale the content down to 13. Agreed. I overcame this within Flash. It's just a mater of wrapping Stage in a class that has min values set. In my applications the UI elements ask the custom Canvas class how big the stage is and place themselves accordingly. You also do not want to write a flash scroller, because the browser has excellent support and performance for this, and Flash might have a harder time. The site you posted looks very professional but there is not window scroller. I was interested in how this is done: http://amnesia.com.au/site/index.html Starts normally, then when the content panel gets larger than the viewable area the browser scroll bars appear.

Well that is essentially what I am doing. Although my code writes a
bunch of empty MC's and then removes them after - and then tries to
recreate it.
create (simplified):
for (var i:Number = 0; i 35; i++) {
//create empty MC's to hold reg. buttons (non components)
this._targetMc.slidemenu.createEmptyMovieClip(btn_mc + i,
this._targetMc.slidemenu.getNextHighestDepth());
//create loaders for thumbnails.
this._targetMc.slidemenu.createObject(Loader, theThumb + i,
this._targetMc.slidemenu.getNextHighestDepth());
//create the actual btns from my library into the empty MC's
this._targetMc.slidemenu[btn_mc + i].createObject(HitDk, theHit +
i, this._targetMc.slidemenu[btn_mc + i].getNextHighestDepth());
//add content to loaders
this._targetMc.slidemenu[theThumb + i].contentPath = this.baseURL +
myThumb;
}
remove (simplified):
for (var i:Number = 0; i 35; i++) {
//remove the loader components
this._targetMc.slidemenu.destroyObject(theThumb + i);
//unload the MC's containing my non-component btns
this._targetMc.slidemenu[btn_mc + i].unloadMovie();
}
Now like i said - the 2nd time it runs the create portion, everything is
messed up - which makes no sense to me. I mean if it worked the first
time, why not a second? The only thing I can think of is it by chance
the objects are not actually removed (even though a visual test says
they are).
ideas?
Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 9 ready for kiosk use?
I've just downloaded the Adobe Flash 9 Public alpha and used it to compile one of my old kiosk projects. As far as I can see it has none of memory leak issues which affected Flash 8 and stopped it being suitable for kiosks. This is great This is very interesting. Is it just a matter of loading a Flash 8 fla, and making a Flash 9 swf? Or would we need to convert from AS2 to AS3, etc.? I have no idea what memory leak issues you're talking about with the Flash player. ... There is one described here: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2005/10/major_flash_pla.html And the one I've had problems with described in the thread here: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2006-March/161859.html Beyond what is written there I convinced myself it is a player bug simply because it will correctly free up all memory if you minimize then maximize the player window. Without doing the minimize/maximize trick it seems like it does not do certain types of garbage collection (but it does garbage collect something, as I see the memory usage wobbling up and down).

Re: [Flashcoders] Uncompress a gzipped file
Okay, that last example wasn't very good, I've always got an Apache
server running on my computer, but that's probably just me. There's a
better example set up here...
http://tinyurl.com/sywqc
Also, it seems Flash isn't picky about zlib compression levels or
anything else, as long as the file is compressed in the zlib format
(http://www.gzip.org/zlib/rfc-zlib.html) it always decompresses in all
my tests so far.
Right now there's several things that could be done with this that I
can think of. Like Claus said, a tool could be created that takes
regular zip files and adds checksum info without damaging
compatibility.
A single file could be compressed into raw zlib data to be
decompressed within Flash, this wouldn't require any extra libraries.
And finally, a custom-made, non-standard format could contain multiple
files which are individually compressed as raw zlib data. I like this
one myself, but I'd like to hear other opinions.
In any case, the imported data could be translated into other things
like sounds, SWF files, images, text, pretty much anything. It could
be compressed more simply and effectively than using, say, Flex's
built-in embed feature. The only other way to access external files
without Flex's embed feature is to individually download them. I think
finding some way to effectively use Flash's compression features would
be a major advantage.

Bingo! I've put together a hack that shows this is possible. I tried

Here's how to do it. Make a php file that uses gzcompress, something
like this...
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
print gzcompress(this is a test string,9);
Run the page through your browser and save the file somewhere. Then
create a class that opens and uncompress()'s the file. It seriously
works. I'm posting my sample here, I hope email doesn't mangle it.
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
public class Testify {
static private var url:String = testfile;
private var urlLoader:URLLoader;
public function Testify() {
trace(Loading +url);
urlLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete);
urlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,onError);
urlLoader.load(new URLRequest(wadUrl));
}
private function onComplete(e:Event):void {
trace(Loaded);
var data:ByteArray = urlLoader.data;
urlLoader.data = null;
urlLoader.close();
urlLoader = null;
data.uncompress();
data.position = 0;
trace(data.readUTFBytes(data.bytesAvailable));
}
private function onError(e:Event):void {
trace(Error);
}
}
}
It worked for me. Zlib files are a standard I suppose, any language
with access to zlib could probably pull it off.
Also, Claus, I didn't think of that at all, if you could create a
flash-compatible zip file a wide range of assets could be compressed
into a single file and decompressed within Flash. That's easily the
most intriguing idea I've heard yet.
