RE: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts, linkage and Arabic
Finally figured out how to make font symbols (with linkage turned on) include foreign character sets. The instructions outlined here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275 do actually work given you take into account two crucial pieces of info regarding BUGS IN FLASH. The two pieces of crucial info that solved the issue for me are these: 1) If there is more than one font symbol in the library Flash will not add foreign character sets to any of the fonts. That means creating one swf per font symbol. 2) If a font symbol (with linkage turned on) uses the exact same font that is embedded in a text field in the same swf, all non-Roman characters stop getting exported. For example: text field 1 has the font Tahoma set to Korean characters embedded. Export, it works fine. Now, set a font symbol in the library (with linkage turned on) to use Tahoma. Export, no non-Roman characters get exported. Interesting research, Michael, thanks for the report.

Re: [Flashcoders] Writing code for big teams
They have to extend the MovieClip class in order to be able to do that, am I wrong? I mean, If I load an swf with loadMovie (instead of creating an instance with new) nothing assures me they are going to implement that class. I'm a little lost in the relationship between movies and classes because I always do composition, so I don't know how to load a movie and pass that movie an interface. On 11/9/06, Zárate [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My 0.2, Basically it really depends on what are they doing. Say you have a player or main movie. You're tipically going to load different movies or sections on it. And you want all sections to have a common list of public properties and methods. Define that list and make it an interface. Then, you can tell anyone: do whatever you want BUT you have to implement this interface If they compile against that interface you know that _at least_ some properties and methods are going to be there for your calls. So within your main movie you can do something like: container.loadMovie(externalMovie); [after fully load] container.config() container.start(); Of course if you have defined those methods in your interface. You won't need to recompile anything. Makes sense? Cheers, On 11/8/06, Glen Pike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Whilst this suggestion is not good practice if you can get in at the start of a project - I would recommend doing things the way others have said, by using interfaces, I was given a very nice workaround for a situation I got stuck in recently. I was given about 20 SWF FLA files, where all the animation was done on the root timeline - not in a movieclip. These were to be loaded into a shell application and I needed to have some control over the playback of the animations, know when they finished or hit certain frames etc. It would have been perfect if the animations were each contained within a MovieClip that was linked to a class of my choosing, but I did not get to speak to the animators as I was lower down in the food chain for this job. As I did not wish to copy and paste thousands of frames of animation into child clips with the correct class linkage, I asked for some help and was told, I could recast the loaded SWF movieclips into a class of my choosing. This worked beautifully and saved me hours of extra work, Credit to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for his solution below -thanks a million! Hi, I think adding to the prototype would be the easiest way of recasting an external swf into a class. It's like setting up a class linkage in the library except you can't do that with external swfs (as you already know). Once you got the swf loaded into external_mc you can: // recast it as NewClass external_mc.__proto__ = NewClass.prototype; external_mc.__constructor__ = NewClass; external_mc.__constructor__.apply(external_mc); If you wanted to pass arguments into the constructor you can change last line to: external_mc.__constructor__.apply(external_mc, arg1, arg2, ..., argN); It might not look nice, but it works nice. The external swf functions and behaves just like a symbol would be if you loaded it from your library and the class linkage was setup. Hope this helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] Fwd: Help needed. Embeding fonts in Deng Modular Browser
Can any body help me about embedding fonts in Deng Modular Browser?
The official deng site is not having any link to this tutorial.
If anybody came across this...please help me...
Like this:
- embed your font in your main SWF and give it a linkage identifier
- DENG does not know that you embedded a font. You have to tell DENG
what embedded fonts you are using, by setting the components
embeddedFonts property. This property takes an array of Font Linkage
Identifiers, e.g.: deng_mc.embeddedFonts = [my_embedded_font];
- Now you are ready to use your embedded font(s) in your XML/XHTML
documents. In your CSS, just include the fonts Linkage Identifier in the
list of font families, like here:
div { font-family: my_embedded_font, Arial, sans-serif; }

Claus.

Re: [Flashcoders] off-display mouse listeners still listen in AS3?
Have you run into any performance problems running your application? Just imagine how many events are being watched in a RPG game running on a PC. The Flash player may not be as efficient as a game engine but PCs perform a lot of instructions(tens of millions and hundreds of millions) each second. PCs typically have millions of memory addresses. A few hundred (or a few thousand) bytes for a button and for extra listeners is not going to kill a modern PC. Ron Matt Garland wrote: Hi, I'm making a site in AS3 with lots and lots of buttons. I'm worried that all the listeners on the buttons will clog the memory. I realize that sprites that are not in the display list cannot receive mouse events, but do they still listen for them, taking up memory? I'm not sure how to test that. If they do, then in the buttons I'll 1) add listeners for added and removed events to detect when the buttons are added to the display list, and 2) handle these events by toggling the mouseEnabled and mouseChildren properties off and on (that will kill and revive the listeners) But it seems funny to kill listeners that cannot hear anything, and a hassle to add this code to all the button species I'm working with.

This is totally driving me crazy.
I'm creating a textfield as a sub to another clip, setting it's width,
making it autosized, giving it a stylesheet. I then toss in it's
htmlText.
I just want to know if the darn thing is one or more lines. Trouble is
it's not reporting back properly...it seems as if it's just in the
middle of adjusting itself or something, as if I trace out a lot of
stuff, it works out fine. But I shut off tracing, and it stops
working.
For example:
var mTitle:TextField = mcTxt.createTextField(mc_title, 6, tR.x+20,
tR.y-14, 230, 0);
mTitle.autoSize = right;
mTitle.wordWrap=true;
mTitle.selectable=false;
mTitle.html = true;
mTitle.border=true;
mTitle.multiline = true;
mTitle.styleSheet =_global.gPrefs.CSS;
mTitle.htmlText = title;
fontsize = 30; // i know this
lCnt = (mTitle.textHeight/fontSize);
Sometimes lCnt works and sometimes it doesn't -- and I'm tracing out
all elements.
I've even tried to do something like
while(mTitle.htmlText!=title){
trace(not there);
}
But that doesn't work either.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q: 3D effect similar to OSX RSS Visualizer Quartz screen saver
Hiya, we've built a similar texture mapped text effect on our new website, currently in beta. Here's an example : http://www.sebleedelisle.com/?p=18 It's actually quite complex to stretch text like that... it may be easier to just treat the text as always facing towards you, then there's no need for a perspective distortion. But you'll probably still need to convert the text image into a bitmap first, otherwise it may take a while to render all those words all over the place... And then there are all the rotations to calculate... so generally speaking, a complex area to get into, but there are some good tutorials on kurupa, or else attend my 3D session at Flash on the Beach (http://flashonthebeach.com) and i'll tell you all about it :-) cheers Seb Lee-Delisle http://sebleedelisle.com On 13/11/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I know there's a surplus of threads on 3D and 3D frameworks for Flash but what I am after is a spcific treatment used in the RSS Visualizer Quartz screen saver for OSX Here is a screen shot: http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.21/21.05/QuartzComposer/index.html I'd like to reproduce this using actionscript...

RE: [Flashcoders] Is it possible to expand work area in flash?
André, You can drag the various parts of the Flash application to all different sizes and locations, as well as move menus and coding areas around too. If you want to see more of your stage you can zoom in and out with the magnifying tool, or minimize windows you aren't using. Otherwise if you still need more space, I'd suggest adding another monitor. I work with all my code and library items on a monitor on the left, and my timeline, tools, and stage on another monitor to the right. This allows me to keep my coding tools separate from my drawing/designing tools. If this isn't what you are looking for, please elaborate on what you mean by 'bigger work area'.

Re: [Flashcoders] functions outside a class
That's exactly the approach I was going to suggest. I find static
Utility classes to be very useful for collections of helper functions
that don't require any real context (things like string utilities and
common tasks). This tends to be cleaner as well, as you don't have to
worry about passing references around
On 11/10/06, Mike Keesey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
If these are functions that don't reference a particular instance (i.e.,
don't use the this keyword), then it's better to make a static
utilities class (similar to, e.g., Flash's Math class):
class utils.controls.MyFunctions { // Think of a better name
public static function functionA():Void {
// ...
}
public static function functionB():Void {
// ...
}
}
// In your class:
import utils.controls.MyFunctions;
class utils.controls.ClassA {
public function someFunction():Void {
// ...
MyFunctions.functionA();
MyFunctions.functionB();

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] Flash player on the PS3?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/13/2006 12:09 PM So, has the PS3's browser the Flash player by default? Which version? Keeping in mind that is running Linux*, is it version 7? I've tried to find information in their website* but no luck at all. --- Pretty sure it's 7. However, it should be noted that despite all the power of the cell, Flash on the PS3 isn't all that speedy. http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/11/playing-nintendos-donkey-kong-on-sonys-ps3/ As they point out, it's good for FLVs, but interactive games? Not so much. Does anyone know if Wii or XBox have it as well? The XBox 360 has no browser and Microsoft has made no mention or interest at one coming. While it can't be ruled out, I wouldn't hold your breath. HOWEVER, if you look closely, you might notice that the bundled arcade game Hexic is actually powered by Macromedia Flash -- so while there might not be a Flash player within the 360, it has, clearly, already been ported. It's just not as accessible to us normal guys as it is through a simple browser. -mike ___ 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] Text Field Manipulation/Effect ...
Hello, I'm working on a small interactive with a text manipulation/effect. There is a clip on stage that the user drags from right to left, and as they drag, a text field appears on screen (by scaling from a width of 0 to 100% - effectively stretching out to full width) following the dragging clip. Here is a link http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=swffile=728x90.swf So what I now need to do is have all the letters at full scale and piled on top of each other to begin with, then just drag them out into a full sentence (not just having the whole sentence as one clip that scales according to the position of the drag clip - as it currently does). Anyone seen any source that does a similar thing to this.

Re: [Flashcoders] launching an exe?
Adobe Flash covers a wide range of deployment possibilities. It sounds like you're asking for ways to safely and easily install a desktop application from a web browser. Exactly. It struck me that Flash allowing this would cut out 2 key steps from the straight browser install process. I can already detect whether or not my app is running with a quick http request to localhost that either times out or doesn't (huge improvement in itself over other options), but a Flash wrapper around my installer could get the user more easily past the download initiation and installer launching steps. If so, then keep an eye on the upcoming Apollo project: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Apollo Looks very interesting. I'll keep an eye on it -- thanks. Other than that, you can always wrap the Adobe Flash Player in a native-code executable (as regular Projector or third-party shell) and use the browser's regular installation mechanism to download and activate. I wouldn't accept EXEs from strangers myself, but that's one way to do it with current technology. I really just want to use Flash for the install process itself, basically taking advantage of its ubiquity and fast launching to improve my install over the straight browser option. I think Flash could take over the installer market in a second with a small degree of focus on this, but it's not obvious how huge the installer market is when compared to, for example, your pursuit of VoIP. I have other good uses for Flash, but I'm not implementing them now. So, I've already got my exe, but I'd like to wrap it in a snazzy flash download and install -- my goal is not to get Flash on the users' machine or to run a Flash-based app. Thanks very much. -Adam ___ 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] Remoting Issue
Hey People/Remoting Experts, I am using mx remoting (the actionscript 2.0 version) with fash 8, calling ColdFusion method(s) over remoting . For some unknown reason(atleast to me), when the Flash app runs in any browser (Firefox/IE), it just keeps on growing in memory (The process of firefox.exe kept going up from 30MBs to 450MBs), and I can't figure out why. I traced down every setInterval/onEnterFrame/Event dispatch in my code, reduced memory usage by 40% to reach the 30MBs however it is still going up. I tried publishing the app to a projector and its working with no reported slow downs. One of my components use setIntervals to load a banner info every 5 seconds from CF over remoting, but i traced that one as well, it's not over calling. I also found another developer with almost the same problem here http://www.sephiroth.it/phpBB/showthread.php?t=2394 Does this have anything to do with the Garbage Collection process failing to fire ?
