Re: [Flashcoders] this['box_ratio'] works but this.box_ratio or just box_ratio does not
Yeah, exactly. You can use it for anything. You should also check
this out:
http://www.person13.com/articles/proxy/Proxy.htm
A nicer version of Delegate.
What a Delegate/Proxy does is to execute a callback in another scope.
So instead you could do it
like this(I'm using Proxy, but you can use Delegate almost the same
way):
class User extends MovieClip {
private var loaded_txt:TextField;
private var box_width:Number;
private var box_height:Number;
private var box_ratio:Number;
//---
private var avatar_mc:MovieClip;
private var loader_mcl:MovieClipLoader;
public function User() {
loaded_txt.text = '0%';
var listener:Object = new Object();
box_width = avatar_mc._width;
box_height = avatar_mc._height;
box_ratio = avatar_mc._width / avatar_mc._height;
loaded_txt = loaded_txt;
listener.onLoadProgress = Proxy.create(this, display_progress);
listener.onLoadInit = Proxy.create(this, resize_clip);
loader_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
loader_mcl.addListener(listener);
loader_mcl.loadClip(image, avatar_mc);
}
private function resize_clip(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
loaded_txt.text = '';
var clip_ratio:Number = avatar_mc._width / avatar_mc._height;
if (clip_ratio box_ratio)
avatar_mc._xscale = avatar_mc._yscale =
100 * box_width / avatar_mc._width;
else
avatar_mc._xscale = avatar_mc._yscale =
100 * box_height / avatar_mc._height;
};
}

Hi all, A client has asked for something with the same functionality as this: www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/tweenies/gametime/jointhetweenies/ Bascially it's a kid's thing where you are told to save a picture of yourself called me.jpg in a directory on your hard drive called temp, and then flash supposedly incorporates it into the animation without uploading it to a server.

Obviously I want to go back to them and advise them that's it's a bad idea, and we should be uploading the picture rather than getting Flash to read straight off the user's hard-drive, but I want to be clear about exactly why it can't / shouldn't be done. I suspect it's something that's prevented by the added security of service pack 2 or is it something that's stopped by newer version of the flash player? Can anyone advise?

Depends on your game to some extent. If they've found a bug in the game which enables them to get an artificially high score, there's nothing to do but fix the bug. But if they're doing it by just sending their own call to the server, bypassing your game altogether, then you can avoid this by adding some kind of encryption to the score. One method, for example, is to send the server three pieces of information: the score, the system clock time, and some number which combines the two in a secret way known only to you. (You could also encrypt the score itself, in order to make it even harder for the user to outguess you) Danny ___ 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 Game/Highscore security
Another method is to have the server send out a generated hash code of some sort to the client (that expires after a set time); for the client to encrypt the score using the code and send it back. Yet another mentioned on FlashCoders is to do the above, but send (along with score and name) game statistics - number of levels played, number of bullets fired, number of coins picked up or whatever and let the server do some basic sanity checking (there's no way he could have got 1200 by picking up one coin!) Annoyingly, looks like the FlashGameCoders archives for the last few months are broken, so I can't point you at those... HTH, Ian On 9/12/06, Danny Kodicek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello everyone!

I was checking this list and i have found a discussion on this theme from 2003. I am just interested, has anything changed since 2003? What is the best way to protect the highscore? Depends on your game to some extent. If they've found a bug in the game which enables them to get an artificially high score, there's nothing to do but fix the bug. But if they're doing it by just sending their own call to the server, bypassing your game altogether, then you can avoid this by adding some kind of encryption to the score. One method, for example, is to send the server three pieces of information: the score, the system clock time, and some number which combines the two in a secret way known only to you. (You could also encrypt the score itself, in order to make it even harder for the user to outguess you) Danny ___ 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@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] Selection.getIndex() on textfield with a button?
I just went through that nightmare myself related to UI components.
What I ended up doing was a kludgy workaround using setInterval, storing
the selection indicies:
//capture the selection span in the currently focused textfield and save
it for when other UI elements are focused .
//A kludgy workaround since there are bugs with V2 UIComponents
(Combobox) and the Selection object.
(APPLICATION is my master object, 300 seemed to be a good interval to
capture user interaction - not many people would do something in the
text field and then click the UI component faster than 1/3rd of a
second)
myInt = setInterval(checkSelection, 300)
function checkSelection(){
if(eval(Selection.getFocus()) instanceof TextField){ //if the
focused object is a text field.
APPLICATION.prevBegin = Selection.getBeginIndex();
APPLICATION.prevEnd = Selection.getEndIndex();
}
}
Then I would access those saved vales in APPLICATION from the UI
component. Good luck, it's a bit tricky.

Hey again
How does one get the Selection of a textfield with a button? Seems
everytime I click a button, it loses the original TextField's
selection/focus, so both begin and end indices come back as -1.
Any help appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] Click drag to control a MC?
Thanks Zeh!
I understand the concept of what you're saying to do, but don't understand
how to apply it.
Right now I'm doing this:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
framePos = int(_xmouse / 200 *( _parent._totalframes));
if (framePos0) {
_parent.gotoAndStop(_parent._totalframes + ((framePos + 1) %
_parent._totalframes));
} else {
_parent.gotoAndStop(1 + (framePos % _parent._totalframes));
}
}
I thought I could change my clip event to an onPress event, but that
doesn't work at all.
Right now this code is on the MC itself.
Thanks for the help!
Paul
When the user clicks the area, you save the main stage _xmouse to any
other
auxiliary variable. Then, when the user moves the mouse, if you subtract
the
saved/original _xmouse from the current new _xmouse, you will get the
ammount of 'pixels' it should move (then you have to translate that to how
many frames you want your animation to skip forward/backward).

[Flashcoders] certificate problem in a desktop application
Hello, I have a strange certificate problem with Flash8. I am building a flash app that runs on local computers. The app uses LoadVars and sendAndLoad methods to send and load parameters to a distant php page in HTTPS. I have configured the global security panel of the flash player to add the entire folder of my flash application, and I have added a cross domain policy file on the https servers that says allow-access-from domain='*' When I run the application within a browser, the security pop-up appears asking to trust the https location and once it's done, but when I run the .exe file created with ZINC, no pop-up appears and the http status sends a flash error message. I have dicovered that I must install the certificate on my computer in order for my application to work properly. But can I ask every end user to manually install the certificate ? I think it's not really secure to let them know about the https adress nor elegant to make them do this. My questions then are : Is there a way in Actionscript to make the security pop-up appear within the exe application ?

Re: [Flashcoders] {OT} Job Postings?
one thing I've been trying to champion is to embrace more telecommuters and
take an aggressive stance on it where they go after people not wanting to
relocate. I think when companies finaly come to grips with letting people
work from home, and learn how to filter out bad eggs (people who get lazy at
home), they'll probably have one of the strongest flash dev teams around.
with Breeze, and other solutions, you can very easily interact with
coworkers. I've been doing it for 2+yrs now and I've been 100x's more
productive without all the distractions etc.
Somebody ( an agency ) will do it and I think it'll be very succesfull. Who
that'll be is still to be seen ;)

RE: [Flashcoders] {OT} Job Postings?
I completely agree. I've seen hundreds of good job postings that I was
extremely interested in, but didn't apply because I have no need to
re-locate.
The fact that I worked at home (Canada, eh!) for a company in Chicago for
over two years really proved it to me. They got the type of geek they were
looking for and the US exchange rate made it cheaper for them and meant a
better salary for me.
I actually miss working under those conditions. Less distractions and no
office politics...

paul barnes-hogget had an argument about supply and demand in the flex/flasharena which i thought is very apt. he stated that as flex and flash is such a hot technology the demand is very high, thus with normal market factors wages tend to rise. big companies want to use the technology, but due to the cost and lack of supply they struggle to use it, thus making them consider other alternatives. personally we have started hirring developers who are skilled in other areas, upskilling them into this one via peer programming and code reviews in order to try and meet some of this demand, this unfortunatly is a slow process, but one most companies have to do if they want to expand.

I completely agree with Johannes approach. Knowledge of the ins and outs of flash/flex/actionscript isn't half as important as an ability to pick up new technologies, follow best practices and work effectively as a member of a team.

Re: [Flashcoders] Webcam color tracking
So... euhm.. no one? Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has already tried webcam color tracking inside Flash 8 or 9...? So not the difference motion tracking that you see everywhere but tracking one particular color. Or I should say range of colors... I started out with getColorBoundsRect but that doesn't seem to be accurate enough or I just picked the wrong color... So... 1) Has anyone done it before? And if so, do you have a source laying around that could get me on the right track? 2) How does one select the correct color?

Re: [Flashcoders] does actionscript have something like sql's IN or LIKE ?
Hi,
Try this for checking if one string contains another:
public static function contains(str:String, val:String):Boolean {
return str.indexOf(val) != -1 ? true : false;
}
Also, try to avoid attaching your functions directly to buttons, as it makes
scoping tricky:
this.opened_btn.onRelease=function(){
Check out the Proxy class here for a better way to handle that:

RE: [Flashcoders] does actionscript have something like sql's IN orLIKE ?
Why not just:
public static function contains(str:String, val:String):Boolean {
return str.indexOf(val) = 0;
}
?
A tad more concise (you don't need the ? true : false part), and
avoids the problem your function has that if str is null or undefined,
it returns true.

Hi,
Try this for checking if one string contains another:
public static function contains(str:String, val:String):Boolean {
return str.indexOf(val) != -1 ? true : false;
}
Also, try to avoid attaching your functions directly to buttons, as it
makes
scoping tricky:
this.opened_btn.onRelease=function(){

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: inline images in a textarea
They measure the width of each character and then insert spaces where the image should be placed. Then the image is attached onto a movieclip using as a coordinates the sum of the width of all the characters in one line. If the text spans into multiple lines, that´s no problem neither. You know the width of the text field, so you can check where the text will span, and measuring the height of a textline, add that space to the y coord. Easy? No. Doable? Yes. In fact, i remember now a component that does exactly that... don´t remember the name, but something with emoticons and flash :) Regards, On Tue, 12 Sep 2006 15:43:23 -0300, Rich Rodecker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: wierd...how do you suppose they did it here then?: http://www.mambers.com/chat/preloader.swf i thought about picking the string apart and piecign together some new movieclips/text fields to display the content, but that would get crazy when the text spans multiple lines. the link above handles it pretty well though.

RE: [Flashcoders] {OT} Job Postings?
I completely agree as well, but the initial problem remains: Finding someone
with those talents.
I consider myself extremely talented in those areas, but won't relocate.
Employers should definitely consider giving remote workers a chance to prove
themselves through contract work if they really want to get the best
qualified person they can find.
It's frustrating all around these days as finding a good company to work for
is becoming more and more difficult. I've turned down 3 job offers in the
past year because the companies either didn't seem like they were on the up
and up or I didn't feel like it was positive place to work.

Re: [Flashcoders] Site Check Please
I really thought I was publishing as Flash 8. Is it possible to publish for Flash 9 anyways? Perhaps is is just the detection script that is requiring Flash 9, in which case the navigation system should work without it. Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] Webcam color tracking
Yeah, I've done some work with it. The trick is to apply some contrast filters to reduce the colour depth, and be a bit more picky about getting your source colour. You can do the getColourBoundsRect thing, but it's still pretty inaccurate though.

[Flashcoders] Flash Size / Scaling on IE Windows Mobile
Hey list, I'm trying to port an app to IE running on Windows Mobile 5.0, but I'm fighting with the IE renderer. I can't seem to get something to open perfectly in the browser without any scroll bars. I can size it just right so the vertical scroll bars aren't visible, but anytime I try to size my swf where the scroll bar would normally be displayed it automatically scales it down to fit inside the window. In other words even if I make something 800 pixels wide, inside of horizontal scroll bars being display, IE just smushes it. Is there a way to disable or work around this? Also, it's been a while since I've done mobile dev, but there use to be a way to make Flash content open standalone or full screen using a 3rd party tool, but I can't remember the name of it?

We're looking for a Flash/actionscript developer available now to work on a short-term project. Timing: Immediate, with a hard completion deadline of October 15, 2006. Locale: We're located in the North American Pacific timezone (GMT -8) but are willing to consider fluent English-speaking workers elsewhere. The project is a user interface to be used by the general public to design garments by selecting and coloring component parts. The GUI will include drag drop, coloring image segments from a palette, radio buttons, list selection, tab controls, and text input. Product details will be delivered to Flash from PHP/MySQL. We are already preparing all of the artwork, specifying the details of the user interface, and writing the PHP side. We're not looking for a Flash art designer but rather for someone who knows actionscript and Flash technical development and who can create the Flash stage, script the user interface, and script the Flash side of the dialog with PHP. We want the application to render incrementally in thin slices to provide the user with immediate response and to make loading messages unnecessary, even on dial-up. If you're interested and available, please contact us ASAP with a link to a recent example of your work we can assess -- ideally a Flash app that's in dialog with both a server-side app and a human user, plus a text sample of your actionscripting style.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Size / Scaling on IE Windows Mobile
Hi Erik, I recently built a small Pocket PC application for IE. The only way I found to eliminate both scroll bars is to set the View menu option in IE to One Column otherwise I can't get rid of the horizontal scrollbar. I also experimented with various size parameters and scaling to determine the optimal setting for my needs. Here they are: object width=235 height=243 id=SnappMX_FE ... param name=movie value=SnappMX_FE.swf?snappServer=CFscreenId=6scaleX=160scaleY=160applic ationWidth=290applicationHeight=301 / I'm currently using a Dell Axim X51V for testing which supports VGA. Interestingly this required me to set my scaleX / Y values to 160 to scale the movie down to 80% of its original size. If I open this application in a desktop web browser it is actually scaled to 160% so I only see one corner of the UI. The applicationWidth of 290 and applicationHeight of 301 allowed me to display the entire screen without the need for any scrolling. One pitfall that I found was that i couldn't make use of full screen mode since my application needs to access the virtual keyboard for data entry and I haven't found any way to programmatically access it.

Re: [Flashcoders] certificate problem in a desktop application
I don't use browsers because it's supposed to be an .exe in the end, but interestingly, I have tested on both Firefox and IE, and I have noticed that when I install permanently the certificate with Firefox, then, when I run the .exe there is no communication with the https page, and there's no communication when I complile the code and run it from flash, whereas, when I use IE and install the certificate, then the .exe works and also the swf compiled and tested withing the flash environment. so that I must conclude that the certificate used in Flash and IE use the same store, or something similar.

I am building a flash app that runs on local computers. The app uses LoadVars and sendAndLoad methods to send and load parameters to a distant php page in HTTPS. I have configured the global security panel of the flash player to add the entire folder of my flash application, and I have added a cross domain policy file on the https servers that says allow-access-from domain='*' When I run the application within a browser, the security pop-up appears asking to trust the https location and once it's done, but when I run the .exe file created with ZINC, no pop-up appears and the http status sends a flash error message. I have dicovered that I must install the certificate on my computer in order for my application to work properly. But can I ask every end user to manually install the certificate ? I think it's not really secure to let them know about the https adress nor elegant to make them do this. My questions then are : Is there a way in Actionscript to make the security pop-up appear within the exe application ? Or is there a way to build an installer with ZINC and configure it so that it installs a certificate (.cer) on the destination computer ? or is there a more simple solution ? Will the registration of the https location solve my problem ?

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Size / Scaling on IE Windows Mobile
Hey thanks for the info Harald. I fiddled around with it some more and on the Verizon XV6700 I got it pretty locked at 240w x 245h running in default mode with leftMargin and topMargin set to 0. Nice and tight all the way around the bottom and top nav bars. It seems that there is some play in the scroll bar logic so that if you go below a certain point, the vertical scroll bar space will appear but not the actual scroll bars (weird). Thanks again! -erik -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harald Kobler Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 3:13 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Size / Scaling on IE Windows Mobile Hi Erik, I recently built a small Pocket PC application for IE. The only way I found to eliminate both scroll bars is to set the View menu option in IE to One Column otherwise I can't get rid of the horizontal scrollbar. I also experimented with various size parameters and scaling to determine the optimal setting for my needs. Here they are: object width=235 height=243 id=SnappMX_FE ... param name=movie value=SnappMX_FE.swf?snappServer=CFscreenId=6scaleX=160scaleY=160applic ationWidth=290applicationHeight=301 / I'm currently using a Dell Axim X51V for testing which supports VGA. Interestingly this required me to set my scaleX / Y values to 160 to scale the movie down to 80% of its original size. If I open this application in a desktop web browser it is actually scaled to 160% so I only see one corner of the UI. The applicationWidth of 290 and applicationHeight of 301 allowed me to display the entire screen without the need for any scrolling. One pitfall that I found was that i couldn't make use of full screen mode since my application needs to access the virtual keyboard for data entry and I haven't found any way to programmatically access it.

[Flashcoders] Local Connection - max connections on a Mac?
I recently built a iTunes similar html/Flash hybrid site, where each song result has an embedded flash object sample player, based on streaming FLVs. Using the mediator pattern, I have created a single flash component that manages the streaming audio, through a single netStream object. And each sampler instance sends data via the LocalConnection object. The problem I am seeing, is that, on a mac, only the first 7 results communicate properly with the mediator object. We have resorted he results, and still only the first 7 results communicate properly. Is there a known limitation of how many LocalConnection objects can co-exist on a mac? Thanks for the help!
