RE: [Flashcoders] weird class could not be loaded.

[Adrian Ionut Beschea]

It happened to me as well. 
Is the date&time of your computer screwed up ? Usually when flash compiles 
classes, it saves them as .aso files. If the class file is actually older, then 
he skips the compiling I think. Deleting the aso files should do the trick. 
That's the only explanation I could come up with.

Re: [FlashCoders] XRay _global tree

[John Grden]

Hey Dimitrios, I'd have to take a look at the "why" - I'm not sure why
recursion isn't working for you or why you can start your search from
_global.com

let me know:

1.  what version of the interface you're using (are you using the latest
Flex version?)
2.  what version of connector

Is it possible to get a copy of your files for testing?  I'll sign whatever
NDA you've got

Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] (repost) Horizontal Drop-Down Menu (pleeeease don't flame me!)

[Marc Hoffman]

Hey Kurt,

Good to hear from you, too. I still have your old emails :)

Your menu would be useful to me if it allowed a cascade of full-width 
menu bars as in this gif:
http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/images/menuExample_MH060903a.gif 



It only needs to go three levels deep (as in the gif) but must 
highlight the selected menu items so the user can readily see the 
path to the current content.


Have you done any work on the menu that might lend itself to such an 
application?


Thanks and regards,

Marc

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Recommendations for a credit-cardprocessingservice for a subscription-based Flash app

Marcelo, André,

Thanks again for your advice. I think I'm convinced - I'll definitely
give PayPal a closer look. It sounds like its a good solution.

André - thanks for the offer to help. I may take you up on that once I
get going!

Cheers to all,

They call a PHP/ASP/whatever script on your server
as soon as a new payment arrived, you get full transaction and status
details and can store them in your DB.

it´s quite well documentated here[1].

I can help you out with some PHP-code off-list for the basic API if
neccessary.

Not anymore. You can now pay with you cc without creating a paypal account.
So it also answers you last question. Do a little research, you should find

I've got a backpack basic plan and I was "forced" to pay with my cc. I wish
they accepted paypal! Paypal is not unprofessional! It's a secure, fast and
convenient way to handle money.

Re: [Flashcoders] HitArea insanity

The 4th line of code... That is assigning the attached clip to the

Even though I've assigned a hitArea that's actually smaller than the

gives? Have I misunderstood something?


Here's the code that assigns the hitArea:

   //trace("Loading hit area: " + __hitArea);
   hitAreaClip = attachMovie(__hitArea, "_hitAreaClip", depth++);
   hitAreaClip._visible = false;
   hitArea = hitAreaClip;  // make this component's hitArea be

__ hitArea gets set as the property 'hitAreaSkin' at authortime.
Any ideas?

RE: [Flashcoders] Changing the Volume of a loaded FLV

[kariminal]

Ya - maybe I did not state the problem well,

So, 

video_snd = new Sound( )
video_snd.volume = 0

changes the audio volume of the whole movie. I am having issues controlling
the levels of just the video.

I know that 

video_snd = new Sound( some_mc )
video_snd.volume = 0

Would change the volume of 'some_mc' only, this does not work with my flv
player.

any ideas why?

Subject: [Flashcoders] International Address to Map position

Hey Folks,

I'm working on an application that has a requirement for generating a world
map showing outlets for a particular product. There are *lots* of outlets
and they are updated very frequently so the spec is that the map should be
able to render a new outlet in the correct location on the world map based
on address only.

Anyone done this before and care to offer any suggestions? Right now I am
thinking I will need to acquire a db of city/long/lat or else find a public
webservice that accepts an international address and returns long/lat info.
Then I'm thinking I'll just need a scale map in my swf that approximates to
the long/lat grid so can place the new outlet in the right position.

Any advice or tales of woe appreciated.

Peter Hall did.


There seems to be some anecdotal evidence that it runs very slowly and we
are seeing some eveidence of this.


How can others see this too? A link to a particular SWF would be fine, 
but more direct would be a description of how others could make a small 
file to test a particular function. If other people can see it too, then 
we can make some progress.



Generally, new Players must play old content at least as well. There are 
some particular features which may not follow this rule (security 
requirements are one prominent exception), but the public Developer 
Releases are for identifying and addressing any such degradations. I'd 
still like to learn what you're seeing, thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] Migrating Large AS2 Project (~20 thousand lines)

[Robert Stuttaford]

Just checking in on this ... I've now asked these questions on FlexCoders, 
FlashCoders, and the Flash 9 Alpha Preview website forum.
Does anyone have any suggestions about where I could ask/look next? Perhaps I'm 
just jumping the gun here? Is there any official
channel for feedback? The ones listed on labs.adobe.com are FlashCoders mailing 
list and the forum.

I have more observations on the Flash 9 Alpha. 

There doesn't seem to be a way to get Bitmaps and Sounds from library? I've 
tried giving them linkage class names but attempting to
instantiate them gives me grief.

For instanced movieclips that's on the stage at design time, if you want to be 
able to refer to them as first class objects, you
firstly have to make the class dynamic, and secondly manually assign those 
objects before it works:

public dynamic ThingClass extends Sprite {
private var thing : MovieClip;
public function ThingClass () {
thing = MovieClip( getChildByName( "thing" ) );
thing.x = 200;
}
}

The way it used to be:

public ThingClass extends Sprite {
private var thing : MovieClip;
public function ThingClass () {
thing.x = 200;
}
}

Here's the rest of my previous post:

After searching through my local copy of months' worth of flex coders list 
digests, I was unable to find anything conclusive on the
questions below. I checked there because it's the one community with AS3 
experience. I've posted these questions to both the
FlexCoders mailing list and the Flash 9 Alpha Preview forums. This is a set of 
Flash 9 Alpha Preview questions. I'd REALLY
appreciate any input from those in the know, especially the Adobe guys :-).

I have an 18 000 line AS2 project, spanning about 6 logical SWF files (one of 
these is actually a skin slot, of which there are
currently 21 unique skin SWFs). About 1/3 of the codebase is on a to-spec 
in-house UI component library, another 1/3 on pure
services and business logic stuff, and the final 1/3 on gaming UI. In building 
this over the last year, I have relied heavily on a
couple things:

- Using (fla_file)_exclude.xml files.
   To control where compiled classes are stored as so to control 
   file sizes to optimise for preloading and caching. I check where 
   classes are compiled by using Debug > List Variables in the test player.

- One class for many different library items.
   Eg. single-action buttons which have a common class and a delegate 
   event handler. Used alot in media files for various actions.

I now have the mammoth task of converting all of this to AS3. I am currently 
using Flex Builder to edit code and read the reference
docs and Flash 9 Alpha to compile the SWFs. I am using Flash 9 because of the 
layout-heavy nature of the project. I assume it's ok
to use Flash 9 Alpha for beta-level production code as the AS3 compiler is 
already in production (in Flex Builder 2). The majority
of changes in Flash 9, again I assume, will be in how it allows you to do the 
sort of thing I currently need help with.

My questions:

Is it possible to control where classes are compiled to?
How do I see what classes are compiled into a SWF? Debug > Variables no longer 
works, and no SWF decompiler vendors have quite made
it to AS3 :) If I had my choice, I'd like to list which classes I DO want in 
the SWF, not the ones I DO NOT want. Easier to cut and
paste from one list to the other.

It seems that if a class is not specified for an exported library item, one is 
generated. Is it not perhaps a good idea to be able
to specify the super class for this generated class along with the new class's 
name, saving me from having to write boiler-plate
copies of the class in question? I have various places where I use the same 
class (one is used well over 80 times across all the
files). I'd really love to avoid 80 classes looking like:

package com.example.view {
  import com.example.view.BasicButton;
  public class OkButton extends BasicButton {} }

The UI library 1/3 of my codebase obviously has alot of windows-forms-menus-etc 
style stuff. I'd like to reduce the maintenance of
this by rebuilding it using the Flex Framework. Is it possible to load Flex 
SWFs into vanilla AS3 SWFs and have them interoperate
happily? It's purely the UI stuff I'll be using.

Hope this isn't too much to ask in one go :)

Thanks,
Robert

Re: [Flashcoders] Slow performance of Flash 7 content in Flash Player9

i am under the impression that the string performance increases are avm2
only.

In general, swf7 content should be the same or faster in FP8/9 than in
FP7. AVM2 is completely separate from AVM1, but some aspects are

Strings are stored and managed differently in AVM2, and I'm not sure
if that code change is shared with AVM1. This is supposedly an overall
performance improvement, vastly reducing memory usage when you do a
lot of string concatenation, but might be slightly slower in a few
cases.

When people discuss performance, they are usually talking about
rendering. As far as I am aware, this has hardly changed, with the
exception of new (optional) features, such as bitmap caching.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flv or frame-by-frame pngs?

[Merrill, Jason]

For load time, export the animation to .swf (Maya, Swift3d do this - max
too with a plugin I think).  Much smaller than several bitmaps.
However, much more processor intensive than bitmap sequences, so it's a
tradeoff - depends on if you want textures, lighting, etc.  If it needs
to be fairly detailed, preload a bitmap sequence instead of using a
vector .swf.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flv or frame-by-frame pngs?

Aha, I guess some clips would need to be controlled. Is it good to mix flv

sound, is that right?

The PNG-solutiuon is bigger in file size, right?

Would the user need to control the movement (rotation?) - if so, I might opt

whatever is not able to be controlled by the user).

[Flashcoders] Flv or frame-by-frame pngs?

[ellen . sundh]

Hi!

I am going to build a Flash site with 3D rendered models that moves. Which
is the smoothes way to display these 3D clips? Like frame-by-frame pngs or
as an flv or swf?

I am concerned about CPU and loading time.

Thanks in advance!

Ellen

Yes, that's what he's saying.

So if the F9 player is actually two players 8 and 9 as you say then when you
play a F7 SWF in FP9 it should actually be the same as playing it in FP8?

RE: [Flashcoders] OT: Recommendations for a credit-cardprocessingservice for a subscription-based Flash app

[André Goliath]

that´s right.

for example on my page, (www.software-and-solutons.de > SQLite, scroll down
"Get a license now" ) you ahve the choice to either log in
or pay via CC.

The nice thing about paypal are the IPM (isntant payment notifications):
They call a PHP/ASP/whatever script on your server
as soon as a new payment arrived, you get full transaction and status
details and can store them in your DB.

it´s quite well documentated here[1].

I can help you out with some PHP-code off-list for the basic API if
neccessary.

Regards,

André

I've got a backpack basic plan and I was "forced" to pay with my cc. I wish
they accepted paypal! Paypal is not unprofessional! It's a secure, fast and

Re: [Flashcoders] Vob to FLV without Sound

[Count Schemula]

Quicktime Animation is a lossless format.

MPEG-4 and MPEG-1 are compressed.

MPEG-4 in particular seems to crush the blacks, so you loose all your
shadow detail.

MPEG-1 has to be certain specified sizes as well.

You are skipping a whole compression step.

The file will be large though.

I've used Virtual Dub before, it's simple but quality was good.

[Flashcoders] 3 multilingual / unicode questions

[Mendelsohn, Michael]

1. Is there a way of *regionally* distinguishing within a language i.e.,
English-UK or English-US, aside from just getting  the "en" from
System.capabilities.language?

2. Why is it that when you specify the text box as a unicode font, then
publish, you can see the non-English characters, but when you embed
ranges of the font, the text no longer appears on the stage, even if you
add that font to the library.  And, seems like a bug: Why can't you
change the font of text boxes once the document is made to be
multilingual with the strings panel?

3. Can a Flash file developed using the Strings Panel in version 8 be
published for the 7 player?

Thanks!

- Michael M.

Re: [Flashcoders] Scope question: class, movieclip, & webservice result

[Mark Winterhalder]

I'm not familiar with WebService, so please excuse me if I'm way off.
Have you tried attaching the .target to wsResult.onResult? AFAIK
functions are always dynamic. Alternatively, you could keep it in a
local var, it could be accessed by wsResult.onResult if you declare it
where you currently do.

So, either:

wsResult.onResult = function () {
  arguments.callee.target.whatever();
};
wsResult.onResult.target = this.target;

or:

var target = this.target;
wsResult.onResult = function () {
  target.whatever();
};

The first option is preferable.

HTH,
Mark

[Flashcoders] BUG, unloadClip and then instanceof show false for movieClip

[Martin Weiser]

Hello, i know loading jpg, to movieClips changes them little bit (well 
_url changed totally :-) , but i hoped that instanceof should work anyway,

it does'nt:

var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
function ff() {
  mcl.unloadClip(b);
//toutputs false after unloadClip or removing clip (removemovieClip)
  trace(b instanceof MovieClip);
  
mcl.loadClip("http://www.universetoday.com/am/uploads/looking_down_on_earth.jpg";, 
b);

  /*
  MCL.unloadClip(__target);
  */
}
function onMouseDown() {
  ff();
}

\
i think it should work

please any comment?

FP9 or better AS3 is your friend then.[1]

AS2 or more precisely the FP8 interpreting bytecode is way too slow (and textextend is

you than would have to calc each characters position/coords based on a given width and

So it also answers you last question. Do a little research, you should find
something.


Even the little guys (37signals Basecamp

and Backpack, FreshBooks, etc..)

I've got a backpack basic plan and I was "forced" to pay with my cc. I wish
they accepted paypal! Paypal is not unprofessional! It's a secure, fast and
convenient way to handle money.

Marcelo, André,

Many thanks for responses!

I've done a bit of research on PayPal, and it doesn't seem too great.

For one - it looks like the buyers need to have a PayPal account,
which is a big inconvenience for them. If I needed to create a PayPal
account before I could buy something, I'd just decide that it's not
worth it.

Two - it seems unprofessional. None of the subscription-based services
that I subscribe to use it. Even the little guys (37signals Basecamp
and Backpack, FreshBooks, etc..)

Is there a way to use PayPal that doesn't require buyers to have a
PayPal account, and is transparent to them?

Cheers,
Matt

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Images stay on memory forever?

[Dimitrios Bendilas]

Hi Dave,

I had already replied you a few days ago, but I think the message went under 
a "digest" title,

so you must have missed it.

So again, thanks!
I downloaded your example and played around with it.
I don't know for flash 4, but with flash 8 it was the fact that the images
were loaded and not attached that caused the memory to free.

So I experimented a lot and I now know that Flash will not free memory
of images that were attached via attachMovie, even if you removeMovieClip,
or you send its timeline it to an empty frame or pray all night long.

If anyone does not agree with this, please let me know what you know,
I've been working on this 12h/day for the past week, but this still
doesn't make sense to me, so I could probably be missing something.

Dave, thanks again!

Regards,

Dimitrios

hi Dimitrios,

 Try using hard coded symbol_clips instead of the dynamically attached 
movies, because frame 2+ is going to contain whatever exists on keyframe 
one of the code created attached movie.


 For example, using an IDE target_clip symbol with the first occupied 
keyframe and the target in frame 5 will  require the command 
"target_clip, goto (key)frame5" and loadmovie content.jpg into 
replacable_target_movieclip_symbol actually exists only on frame5.  The 
loaded content.jpg can be eliminated from the player by sending the 
target_clip/timeline to empty keyframe1, which is a known to be an empty 
keyframe...  thus no 'load_target' no content that replaced the 
'load_target.


 Placing attached movieclips on different levels is more complex since we 
have no way to create truly empty keyframes on dynamic timelines... i 
think... :)


we'll get it working,
Dave Matthews

[Flashcoders] Text background

[Mike Cobb]

-

Hi!

I've got a tricky problem which I want to put to the list: Does anyone 
know any way to style a chunk of text with a background colour?


I've got a dynamic multi-line textfield bringing in html text. Flash has 
no CSS support for background-color, so I would like to find a 
workaround for adding a background to portions of text.


Flash 8, AS2

Any ideas?

SV: [Flashcoders] Problem with parsing Webservice result correctly!

[Martin Baltzer Hennelund]

Hmm...got another project where flash interprets ArrayOfString perfectly, which 
makes me believe that the problem is on the server side...just don't now where 
to look...

Anyway if I should follow your advice I assume that it will cause some problems 
server side since the developer would need to return a XMLNode instead of an 
Array right?

Well I will try it out...

Thanks a lot

/Martin

Emne: Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with parsing Webservice result correctly!

Might be that you need to explicitely indicate that ArrayOfString is
an array (in XML terms: a sequence), i.e.:

[...]
   
 
   feild1
   feild2
 
   
[...]

In our experience Flash can only successfully populate an Array if
that "sequence" indication is there.

That's what the second argument in getURL is for. You can give it _self, _blank, _parent, _top but you can also give it a string  to identify the window.

Ahhh, an interesting concept. I'm surprised that it works in Firefox. Does it 
open a new browser with window, or a new tab? Maybe when tabbed IE 7 is out 
this would be possible?

Re: [Flashcoders] Vob to FLV without Sound

[Latcho]

VOB -> virtualdub frame host/server  -> flv
or best quality with a file is VOB -> YUV(*) or uncompressed -> flv

Type "VOB quicktime" in google, a bunch of stuff came up.

The "best quality" will come from:

VOB -> Quicktime Animation -> FLV

Handbrake would be:

VOB -> .mp4 -> FLV

And some of your other ideas are:

VOB -> MPEG-1 -> FLV

VOB is already compressed MPEG-2, so you want to skip any intermediate
compression step, especially MPEG-1, with it rigid format structure
and wacky audio of its own.

Perhaps it's not working because it's only recently ported to Windows?

Re: [Flashcoders] HitArea insanity

Hello.

I'm having some problems with hitTest();

Even though I've assigned a hitArea that's actually smaller than the 
area of a certain component, the actual hitArea seems to be the 
rectangle containing everything that's visible in the component. What 
gives? Have I misunderstood something?


Here's the code that assigns the hitArea:

   //trace("Loading hit area: " + __hitArea);
   hitAreaClip = attachMovie(__hitArea, "_hitAreaClip", depth++);
   hitAreaClip._visible = false;
   hitArea = hitAreaClip;  // make this component's hitArea be 
this just loadeded clip.


__ hitArea gets set as the property 'hitAreaSkin' at authortime.
Any ideas?
