Re: [Flashcoders] Writing code for big teams

[Wade Arnold]

Where would you place a your global properties? This is a question that
has always got me. 

If the properties such as framerate, gatewayURL, styles, etc need to be in
the class application. They have to be there for two reasons.
1. User defined inspectable properties.
2. variables must be available for proper instantiation.


I have always wanted to have a config file, then a worker class that just
handles all the get setters. However I have never been able to pull this off
in order for the application class to wait for the variables to be
populated. Any ideas? I assume I will try again in AS3.

 You cannot make a swf implement an interface, but you can make the

 var section:SectionClass = new SectionClass(this);
 
 
 
 SectionClass implements the interface, so you know which methods and

 You cannot force external developers in the strict mean of the word,
 you'll need to _ask_ them to do so. Simply refuse any external swf not

Re: [Flashcoders] Writing code for big teams

[Michael Nisi]

Hey Ricardo,

just to give you a ruff idea, there are bazillion ways of doing this.
You have two flas, shell.fla and section.fla. In each there's a clip
on Stage called container_mc.

In shell.fla on _root you do:
Application.main(container_mc);

In section.fla on _root you do:
var section:Section = new Section(container_mc);

Here are the classes:
- Application
- ViewLocator
- Playable (Interface)
- Section

import ViewLocator;
import Section;

class Application
{
   function Application()
   {
   var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
   loader.loadClip(section.swf, _root.container_mc);
   }

   public static function main():Void
   {
   var application:Application = new Application();
   }
}

import Playable;
import Application;

class ViewLocator
{
   public static function register(section:Playable):Void
   {
   // Store section or whatever...
   section.start();
   }
}

interface Playable
{
   function start();
}

import Playable;
import ViewLocator;

class Section implements Playable
{
   function Section(target:MovieClip)
   {
   ViewLocator.register(this);
   }

   public function start()
   {
   trace(Section.start);
   }
}

Well, I think that there are different ways to accomplish this and every 
developer will have his own way. You could store the config variables in 
Application, or you could have a Config class that is set up when 
Application starts, i.e. getting the configuration from an XML file, and 
the rest of classes could access to its properties via 
getInstance().getSomeProperty() or static properties/methods.

I've had this problem recently. I found it was an issue when the swf

 Hi everyone!

 I've researched this - apologies if I've missed the answer somewhere.
 Anyways:
 I have a flash application that reads an XML-file and then proceeds to
 load lots of content dynamically - a common situation.
 Everything works very well, except now and then in Safari. Safari will
 then miss loading an element and my preload bar for that object will
 hang indefinitely. A simple reload of the page solves the problem.
 This happens regardless of whether I've cleared Safari's cache etc.

 The problem *never* occurs in other browsers (Firefox for example) or
 offline. So I'm starting to suspect Safari as the culprit rather than
 my code.
 - Has anyone experienced the same problem?
 - Any idea what may be causing it?
 - Any pitfalls in using Moviecliploader that may cause this?

 I would be very thankful for advice as I want to pin down the problem
 before it causes problems for the client. Thanks in advance!

Re: [Flashcoders] Writing code for big teams

[Ricardo Sánchez]

Argh! Finally got it working! Thanks all.

I was missing some concepts in OOP for collaboration with teams, like
intrinsic classes and interfaces.

Ok, what I did for a try was having a method in my main class to register
third party movies' main classes. The I also have an interface they should
implement.

So I give them 2 files:
- an intrinsic copy of my main class only with the
definition of register and getInstance methods.
- an interface with the methods i'll call from my main
class

So in their class they do something like this

import lib.MainClass;
import lib.interface.InterfaceClass

class ThirdPartyClass implements InterfaceClass {
...
   public function ThirdPartyClass () {
  MainClass.getInstance().register(this);
   }
   ... implement interface methods
}

Do you think is a good idea to give them this 2 files, or should I pass them
just an intrinsic class for them to extend, thus not allowin their main
class to extend anything else.

Again thakyou all, this is being of great help.

   1. User defined inspectable properties.

There is another approach to communicate those swfs:
- At your side:
1. Class Application (singleton)
2. Class LoadedSWF (or whatever), abstract class that every swf of
 the
team development will have to extend. This class could implement
 any
interface you like, and will have a constructor like this:
   
public function LoadedSWF() {
Application.getInstance().register(this);
}
   
3. Your Application class will have a method register where you
 can
subscribe to LoadedSWF events, or even store a reference to the
 object
to call any of his methods.
   
public function register(obj:LoadedSWF):Void {
obj.addEventListener(event, Delegate.create(this, onEvent));
}
   
- At the team development side:
1. intrinsic class Application
2. intrinsic class LoadedSWF
3. The class that controls the swf will have to extend LoadedSWF,
 and
call super() in its constructor
class Whatever extends LoadedSWF {
public function Whatever() {
super();
...
}
}
   
This way everytime you load an external swf of your team
 development it
automatically notifies your Application class.
   
PS: so many people from DMSTK around here these days :-)

Re: [Flashcoders] Writing code for big teams

[Ian Thomas]

Ah - that's because I don't do this with statics/getInstance(). :-)

If I did, I'd probably do it with a minimal 'locator' class rather
than an intrinsic. e.g.

MyAppLocator.getApp() returns IApp
IApp defines registerMe()

That sort of thing. :-)

But, at the end of the day, whatever works for you...

[Flashcoders] ComboBox issue with attached movieclip

[Martin Baltzer Hennelund]

Hi,

I attach a movieclip from library which includes a instance of ComboBox.

After attachment I wait 3 frames then I populate the Combo in a for loop
by calling the addItem() method.

Problem is that I can't activate/open the combobox onClick. I can see
that the title of the ComboBox is proper filled out and checking on the
length of it says it contains the elements that it should, but it just
won't open

What is wrong?


Simple Code ex:
//
cbAlder.addItem( 18,  18);

for (i=18 ; i=50 ; i++) {
cbAlder.addItem(i, i);
}
//.

Thanks a lot in advance

Martin

Re: [Flashcoders] Tween color of dynamic text

[Janis Radins]

color value is number even if it accepts 0xXXX string, hence you can use
simple toWhite[nWhiteCount] without 0x and toString().
flash works with decimal numbers anyways
as soon as it receives 0xFF it's automacaly converted to 16777215

I'm using setRGB, so I did this:

var decToHex = 0x + toWhite[nWhiteCount].toString(16).toUpperCase();

which is basically working instead of tweaking and setting text formats

I meant 'movieclip tween coloring' (code)
   
 the low profile way:
 I put my textfield in a movieclip (text_mc) and set my
textfield's
 color to '0xFF' (text_mc.text_txt.textColor)
 then I simply use movieclips tweens , you know the old ones
:)...

 I am looking for a small routine to tween the color of some
 dynamic text.
 I've found lots of large packages, but really only need to
affect
 a
 textfield, and to be able to do 2 things:

 1. tween a field to a specified 0x color
 2. tween a field back to its original set color (un-tween so to
 speak)

 does anyone have anything handy? Is going into a class

You can use the decimal values just fine with setRGB.

var _clr:Color = new Color(_mc);
_clr.setRGB(4951245);

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem: Safari and dynamic loading?

[Jamie S]

I had a similar problem a while back with a project that required a lot of
stuff (xml, swf's, and jpg's) to load all at once. It worked fine in
publishing and in IE on Windows but Firefox (Mac and PC) and Safari (it was
the wost with safari) would tend to miss stuff just as you have discribed.

I the only way I was able to put the problem to bed for sure was to build a
load manager class that would make sure everything loaded up one at a time.
So all of the stuff that needed to be loaded would be put into a queue and
the class would go through and load stuff, making sure not to load the next
thing in the queue until the previous thing had finished.

It did slow things down a little bit, but better that then having
unpredictable results. Since I saw the problem in multiple browsers, I
suspect it was more of a bug in the Flash Player. But it's clear that
loading in tons of stuff at once can cause problems.

Email me if you want me to send the load manager class.

Best,
Jamie

  Hi everyone!
 
  I've researched this - apologies if I've missed the answer somewhere.
  Anyways:
  I have a flash application that reads an XML-file and then proceeds to
  load lots of content dynamically - a common situation.
  Everything works very well, except now and then in Safari. Safari will
  then miss loading an element and my preload bar for that object will
  hang indefinitely. A simple reload of the page solves the problem.
  This happens regardless of whether I've cleared Safari's cache etc.
 
  The problem *never* occurs in other browsers (Firefox for example) or
  offline. So I'm starting to suspect Safari as the culprit rather than
  my code.
  - Has anyone experienced the same problem?
  - Any idea what may be causing it?
  - Any pitfalls in using Moviecliploader that may cause this?
 
  I would be very thankful for advice as I want to pin down the problem
  before it causes problems for the client. Thanks in advance!

[Flashcoders] connecting excel spread sheet to Flash

[nik crosina]

Hi guys,

For a flexible sales presenter we need to connect a spread sheet
(excel) to Flash and selectively display the content of various cells
of it.

The spreadsheets themselves will be designed to be printable versions
of the corresponding screens in Flash.

Is this possible, or are we barking up the wrong ttree so to speak?

Thanks for your help!!

[Flashcoders] changing a MovieClip instance class at runtime in AS2 ?

[Dani Bacon]

anyone know if i can change the class registration of a MovieClip instance
that was placed on stage manually using AS2 code ?
ive tried using Object.registerClass which works fine for any dynamically
attached MCs but all symbol instances that where already on stage did
register with the new class.

the code-

class Main
{

   static function main()
   {
   _root.stop();

   Object.registerClass(idTest, classes.someClass);
   _root.attachMovie(idTest, testname,
_root.getNextHighestDepth());

   }

}

this works and generates MC named testname registered to the class 
classes.someClass. but any instance of MC with linkage id idTest that was
already on stage doesnt register with classes.someClass. so how do i get
them to register ?

TIA

RE: [Flashcoders] connecting excel spread sheet to Flash

Look into the possibilities of using xml with Excel (by either saving the
file as xml or exporting sheets/ranges as xml).

This can then be used as the data source for Flash.

(excel) to Flash and selectively display the content of various cells of it.

The spreadsheets themselves will be designed to be printable versions of the
corresponding screens in Flash.

Is this possible, or are we barking up the wrong ttree so to speak?

Thanks for your help!!

RE: [Flashcoders] connecting excel spread sheet to Flash

[Merrill, Jason]

You can also use server-side apps to convert an uploaded Excel doc to
XML and then do whatever with it - run SQL statements, other server side
scripts, or back into Flash - no manual save as XML required, but it
does require some savy backend stuff and/or third party components.

Look into the possibilities of using xml with Excel (by either saving
the
file as xml or exporting sheets/ranges as xml).

This can then be used as the data source for Flash.

[nik crosina]

thanks Nick,

You wouldn't know a good starting point to get into that side of
Flash, aswe haven't done this often so far. Any resource or step by
step guide that you think is particularly good?

Thanks,

Nik

Re: [Flashcoders] Flashpaper - removing a flashpaper mc properly seems impossible

[Jonathan Fung]

I'm facing exactly the same problem developing a content browser
(viewing hundreds of single FP pages) in flash 8... My load times jump
from 300ms to 10 seconds if i try to unloadMovie() first. I haven't
found a solid fix, but I do have a partial workaround - don't unload
the flashpaper. At least with my single pages I've managed to keep it
from taking more than 500ms in subsequent loads. If this scales to
your 90 pages (maybe) you could shave off a good portion of those 30
extra seconds if you just load the clip over the existing one.


hope that helps,
Jon

The problem gets worse the next time you try to load up a Flashpaper document.  
You take a massive performance hit loading a document up after removing a 
previous one.  The documents I am talking about here are 90 or so pages, one 
document is about 4mb.  When loading these documents the first time round it 
only takes a few seconds for them to load.  thesecond time round it can take as 
much as 30 seconds to load up the document introducing the warning about 
scripts running slowly.

Can anyone suggest a better way to entirely get rid of a Flashpaper document 
once its been loaded into the stage?

Tom

[nik crosina]

Thanks, Jason,

I should have explained better, this is going to be for a CD based
app, so it'll need to work without any server side scripts or use of
database.

But what you suggest is certainly something to consider for any future
on-line brochures / pricelists - especially since it seem to requrie
NO special saving of the spread shets frmo the sales peoples point of
view (to explain to them even the most basic of XML will be futile...

RE: [Flashcoders] connecting excel spread sheet to Flash

[Merrill, Jason]

OK for CD then.  So For the XML idea Nick suggested, that's not going to
be easy if it's on CD.  It would be to have the user save as XML from
Excel (File  Save As  save as XML data) to their local drive, and then
use a third party projector like Zinc or mProjector to browse to the
file they saved and then load that XML into flash (not sure about what
security restrictions you would encounter with a third party and loading
XML in the project at that point).  If you also need help loading and
getting data from XML, that's another topic altogether.  Hope that
helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] changing a MovieClip instance class at runtime in AS2 ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem: Safari and dynamic loading?

[T. Michael Keesey]

Safari is a POS.

One thing you can do is use MovieClipLoader::onLoadError to check the
error code. If it is LoadNeverCompleted (as opposed to
URLNotFound), re-attempt the load.

On 11/21/06, Haydn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hi,

I'm pretty sure this is an issue with Safari as a similar problem
somethings occurs when loading HTML pages. From what I can tell it's
completely random. I'm using Safari 1.3.1 so maybe an update to 1.3.2
would fix the problem?

 Hi everyone!

 I've researched this - apologies if I've missed the answer somewhere.
 Anyways:
 I have a flash application that reads an XML-file and then proceeds to
 load lots of content dynamically - a common situation.
 Everything works very well, except now and then in Safari. Safari will
 then miss loading an element and my preload bar for that object will
 hang indefinitely. A simple reload of the page solves the problem.
 This happens regardless of whether I've cleared Safari's cache etc.

 The problem *never* occurs in other browsers (Firefox for example) or
 offline. So I'm starting to suspect Safari as the culprit rather than
 my code.
 - Has anyone experienced the same problem?
 - Any idea what may be causing it?
 - Any pitfalls in using Moviecliploader that may cause this?

 I would be very thankful for advice as I want to pin down the problem
 before it causes problems for the client. Thanks in advance!

 Dan

Out of curiosity, what is presets? If it's a constant array, why not
just make it a static var of a class? If it's unique to the dispatcher

forget I said anything.)

Re: [Flashcoders] connecting excel spread sheet to Flash

[Derek Vadneau]

Take a look at some of the 3rd party swf2exe tools.

For instance, with SWF Studio you can use Flash and JScript to manipulate 
an Excel spreadsheet - not just read it. With JScript you have control 
over the Excel COM object. You could also use SWF Studio's ADO plugin to 
read the spreadsheet as if it was a database.

[Flashcoders] looking for win app to parse SWF header

[Boon Chew]

Does any of you know of a good simple swf header parser out there that works on 
Windoze?

Looking for a quick way to obtain the swf frame size (height, width), frame 
rate, etc.

Thanks.

One thing you need to notice is that, this line
?mso-application progid=Excel.Sheet?
gives some problem.

Hi guys,

For a flexible sales presenter we need to connect a spread sheet
(excel) to Flash and selectively display the content of various cells
of it.

The spreadsheets themselves will be designed to be printable versions
of the corresponding screens in Flash.

Is this possible, or are we barking up the wrong ttree so to speak?

Thanks for your help!!

Hey Nik - I work with Proto, and depending on what you're constraints
are for delivering the app (there's a free download and install of the
Proto viewer, but users would need that), it could work well for you.
http://www.protosw.com/products/features/flash

It's not exactly designed as a flash delivery mechanism, but could work
that way. Proto does have really good integration with other stuff like
Excel, databases, csvs, and has a built in Db. We use flash to extend
Proto's user interface and there's a pretty sophisticated proto-flash
execution and data bridge, so you can use SWF files in Proto apps. Proto
isn't exactly designed to be the business logic for Flash apps, but you
could certainly use it that way.
Anyway - hth. If you have questions that are more appropriate off-list,
feel free to use the forum at protosw.com too.
Cheers,
Byron

HI Nick,

I havcen't fully spec'ed the app yet, but as it is a re-work of an
existing rather cumbersome thing, we are thinking of having a
'zinc'ed' swf, that accesses various excel files for information as
and when this is needed for display in the app (the data will consist
of prices, model numbers, are images possible here? I know Excel too
little to know if you can store images in teh cells as well theses
days ... must look it up).

I am planning to use the same excel files to be printed out as a
brochure sheets of the products. In other words if the user clicks on
a print button, the swf sends the respective .xls to the printer.

In teh past we had 2 documents for each product: one for display on
screen (powerpoint), and the same - with slightly differnet design -
as a PDF that could be printed.

Pretty ambitous rject I am beginning to realise!

Thaks,

Nik

  Just out of interest, whats the architecture of your Excel/Flash app?
Is
 it Excel for data and Flash for reporting?  Do you need the Excel file
to be
 an Excel file (i.e. xls) or can it be 'dumb' xml (i.e. an xml file
with
 Excel attributes)?  Are all the files stored in the same folder (i.e.
xls +
 swf)?

 Is your app code stored in the swf or swf + xls?

 Easier to point you in the right direction if you answer some of these
 questions!

 Cheers,

 Nick

 OK for CD then.  So For the XML idea Nick suggested, that's not going
to be
 easy if it's on CD.  It would be to have the user save as XML from
Excel
 (File  Save As  save as XML data) to their local drive, and then use
a
 third party projector like Zinc or mProjector to browse to the file
they
 saved and then load that XML into flash (not sure about what security
 restrictions you would encounter with a third party and loading XML in
the
 project at that point).  If you also need help loading and getting
data from
 XML, that's another topic altogether.  Hope that helps.

 Thanks, Jason,
 
 I should have explained better, this is going to be for a CD based
 app, so it'll need to work without any server side scripts or use of
 database.
 
 But what you suggest is certainly something to consider for any
future
 on-line brochures / pricelists - especially since it seem to requrie
 NO special saving of the spread shets frmo the sales peoples point
of
 view (to explain to them even the most basic of XML will be
futile...
 ;)
 
 Thanks,
 Nik

  Look into the possibilities of using xml with Excel (by either
 saving
  the
  file as xml or exporting sheets/ranges as xml).
  
  This can then be used as the data source
