[Flashcoders] javascript, externalinterface and swfobject part 2
So i got EI working with swfobject just fine; turns out i had omitted
addParam(allowScriptAccess, always);
SWF-to-container calls now work wonderfully as such:
ExternalInterface.call(methodName);
However, i'm having a hell of a party getting container-to-swf calls up
and running; i keep getting the methodName is not defined error in firefox.
Here's my JS:
Rayon.BlackBox = function(){
document.write('div id=MediaPlayerContent here/div');
mediaPlayer = new SWFObject(mediaplayer.swf, mediaPlayerMovie,
100%, 100%, 8);
mediaPlayer.addParam(allowScriptAccess, always);
mediaPlayer.addParam(scale, exactfit);
mediaPlayer.addParam(menu, false);
mediaPlayer.addParam(salign, TL);
mediaPlayer.write(MediaPlayer);
}
Rayon.BlackBox.prototype = {
getMovie:function(movieName){
if (navigator.appName.indexOf(Microsoft) != -1) {
return window[movieName]
}else {
return document.getElementById(movieName);
}
},
pushToList:function(jsonString){
alert(push to playlist: +jsonString);
var movie = this.getMovie(mediaPlayerMovie);
movie.addToPlayList(jsonString);
alert(push done);
}
}
var BlackBox = Rayon.BlackBox;
instanced with:
obj = new BlackBox();
and method called through:
obj.pushToList(jsonstring);
in the swf:
ExternalInterface.addCallback(addToPlayList,null,addToPlayList);
I've tried alerting on the return value for getMovie and it does return
a relevant value. However i keep getting movie.addToPlayList is not a
function errors
Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

Re: [Flashcoders] how to tell if you're running in the ide
I'm using CustomActions, i.e. :
if ( CustomActions ){
// we're in the Flash IDE
} else {
// we're either in a browser or in the standalone player
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Fonts on a Mac not working in Flash
just for fun some of the fonts get named differently when in the dropdown where for instance a bold version of a font would be named 'B Fontname' this happens to about 10% of my fonts, good thing is that they always are named that way so it isn't random. Flash is probably picking up on the internal naming of the font I guess. When using CSS or font on OSX you will have to use the name as in the dropdown. e.g. happy hunting cheers, mario On Jan 26, 2007, at 1:59 AM, Chris W.

[Flashcoders] Tooltip for disabled buttons: Ideas?
Hello flashcoders, How did/would you implement showing a tooltip over a disabled button? The onRollOver/onRollOut events seem not to fire when a button is disabled. I see two solutions right now: 1. Add an onMouseMove listener (within MyButton extends Button) and check whether _xmouse/_ymouse coincide with MyButton's area (x+width/y+height). 2. Attach an additional MovieClip to every MyButton instance, set its depth to the top and its _alpha=0, and check for the onRollOver/onRollOut events on that MovieClip instance. Any thoughts on which one is better, or any other solutions?

[Flashcoders] Trace the _x and _y from node of Tree component
Hello,
(first of all, sorry for my english)
I have the Tree component in my scene and this is generated by a xml. It's
working fine.
But I want to know the _x and the _y of any tree node or folder, by passing
mouse over them, with the function itemRollOver.
For example, the Tree shows that:
FOLDER
SubFolder_A
SubFolder_B
SubFolder_B1
SubFolder_B2
SubFolder_B3
SubFolder_C
If the mouse is over SubFolder_B1 the _x and the _y are diferent than
SubFolder_A...
I try with a Listener, like this:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.itemRollOver = function(eventObject:Object) {
trace(menuTree2.selectedNode._y);
};
menuTree.addEventListener(itemRollOver, listenerObject);
but the tracer is undefined.
Somebody knows about it?
Thanks a lot!

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 properties woes
Thanks Steven
In AS3 you can actually put code before a super() as you can in other
methods in AS2.
as i admitted, clearly need a some refactoringright now its just a
prototype so i'm not too concerned

I don't know about AS3 (and I can't imagine this is different from AS2)
but you cannot put any code before super() in a constructor.
super() must be the first line of code in a constructor.
You should pass the labelClass value to the super constructor (watch
your every move, super constructor).
super(date);
and in your parent
function ClassName(lc:String)
{
labelClass = lc;
}

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 properties woes
Thanks guys, its was actually my fault,
the example i gave was a little simpler than my real code,
and i discovered i was calling setTitle from inside the super
construtor, so obviously if i dont set my subclass variable
before calling super() it wont use that variable.
by changing the subclass constructor to this:
public function DateMarker ()
{
labelClass = date
super();
}
I have the desired functionalitythink i probably need to
spend some time refactoring tho.
The example i've given (aside from Petro's astute comment)
should actually work as expected, not as i described!! Sorry
for the distractions!!!

Re: [Flashcoders] Trace the _x and _y from node of Tree component
Hi,
i see menuTree*2*.selectedNode and menuTree.addEventListener?
Beside that, might be a scoping/reference issue, your listener doesnt have a

Re: [Flashcoders] javascript, externalinterface and swfobject part 2
Well, i don´t know for sure, but i never, ever use window[element] to
access an element object. I always use document.getElementById and had no
problems neither in explorer nor in firefox/opera/safari.
Also, you should better not use document.write to write content on a page.
document.write statements must be run before the page finishes loading.
This means that they must be either in the body of the page or in
functions called from the body of the page.
Any document.write statement that runs after the page finishes loading
will create a new page and overwrite all of the content of the current
page. This is almost certainly not what you intend to have happen.
Use the DOM functions to create a new node and append it to the DOM tree
or innerHTML to write content to an existing node (while you can, of
course, create the content and insert it on an existing node using DOM,
internet explorer has problems with that, so go with the innerHTML
version).

Re: [Flashcoders] Tooltip for disabled buttons: Ideas?
For the disabled state for our buttons we actually use a different movie clip. Basically, each button consists of a Button object and a Movie Clip with the image used for the disabled state. When the button is disabled we hide the Button and show the MC, and when it's enabled we do the opposite. Both the MC and the Button have the handlers for the tooltip. -Andy On 1/26/07, Stefan Thurnherr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello flashcoders, How did/would you implement showing a tooltip over a disabled button?

Re: [Flashcoders] Tooltip for disabled buttons: Ideas?
Hi, we use a ButtonTooltipWrapper thingy. Basicly you do: new Tooltip (myButton, myTooltip, [hitArea]) it creates an empty movieclip, with the button as hitArea.

I receive an error that states: '**Error** C:\Documents and Settings\DefaultUser\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\ Classes\mx\transitions\Transition.as: Line 160: The member is private and cannot be accessed. this._innerBounds = this.manager._innerBounds;' The only way that I have been able to resolve the issue is to change the class to a dynamic intrinsic class. That change eliminates the error, however, any objects that attempt to use the transition effects fail, that is no effects are run. In this instance, it isn't big deal as I am not using any transitions, but the Transitions Class MUST be included/imported in the FLA as it is part of a larger package. What makes this even stranger is that two co-workers can compile the FLA without any errors and they didn't have to change the type of class. Any ideas or suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

[Flashcoders] Q: Approaches to integrating existing class libraries with frameworks
Hi I'm very much interested in exploring several popular flash frameworks, especially PixLib, but am wondering if there is a way to adopt and integrate legacy class code with these new frameworks. In adopting a new flash framework, does it necessarilly mean starting 'from scratch' in developing a new class library?

[Flashcoders] problem moving an object
hi, this is code:
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (this.myLoader._x eq this.myLoader._x-1){
delete onEnterFrame;
}
else{ this.myLoader._x-=2;
}
}
I'm trying to move this loader created by code and it looks ok, it
moves, but it doesn't stop,
I hope you might know what I'm doing wrong, you are my last resource.

Re: [Flashcoders] problem moving an object
Hello :)
1 - eq keyword is depreciated !! don't use eq but the == operator :)
if ( x == 2)
{
// do it
}
2 - to move a movieclip, a simple example :
// the speed of the move
var speed = 10 ;
// the max x position
var xMax = 500 ;
mc.onEnterFrame = function()
{
this._x += speed ;
if ( mc._x xMax )
{
delete this.onEnterFrame ;
}
}
3 - better solution if you use the Tween class (exist in FlashMX2004 and
Flash8 with a FP7 or FP8 compiler in AS2), you can find this class in the
documentation of flash 8 in the reference of the components. Example :
import mx.transitions.Tween ;
import mx.transitions.easing.* ;
var tw:Tween = new Tween( mc , _x, Elastic.easeOut, mc._x , 500 , 24 ) :
tw.stop() ;
mc.onPress = function
{
tw.start() ;
}
You can use the Elastic, Bounce, Back, Expo, etc.. class to launch the
interpolation with a custom easing effect :)
The tween class is the work of robertpenner : http://www.robertpenner.com
EKA+ :)

Re: [Flashcoders] problem moving an object
I'm pretty sure this line:
if (this.myLoader._x eq this.myLoader._x-1){
will never resolve to true, given that no number is equal to the same
number minus one. Thus, the code in that if statement will never
trigger.
Should one of those this.myLoader values be a different variable?

Re: [Flashcoders] Q: Approaches to integrating existing class libraries with frameworks
It probably depends on how complicated the thing you're replacing is. I'm doing something similar with the VEGAS library. I have a simple logging class that I wrote as a central place to do logs, but needed to extend it a lot. The logging framework in VEGAS is just about exactly what I needed, so I'm switching to using that. In order to make it work with my old code I'm reimplementing my Logger class such that it uses the VEGAS framework under the hood, so the Logger class I have basically acts as a proxy to the VEGAS stuff. All the old code still works, since the Logger class still exists with the same interface, but it uses the new library under the hood. Then, all new code I write will just directly use the VEGAS stuff, and as I need to modify the old code (or whenever I have time), the old stuff can be slowly migrated to use the new library. -Andy On 1/26/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I'm very much interested in exploring several popular flash frameworks, especially PixLib, but am wondering if there is a way to adopt and integrate legacy class code with these new frameworks.

[Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement
does anybody knows if there is any short hand for if statement without the else statement? at the moment I am using object ? true : null; thanks... ___ 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] Shorhand for if statement without else statement
Usually ?: notation is used specifically for quickly choosing between
2 values (picking between 2 things inline). That's a case where you
really have to have an else, otherwise you wouldn't have a value to
represent the failure case of the IF part.
If you're doing logic that isn't inline in a statement then you really
should be using the full syntax (if(...) { ... }).
So no, I don't think there is shorthand, as I don't think what you're
looking for would be a good construct to have. Then again, I could be
wrong. :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement
hello :)
I don't understand you question ? why you don't use the if keyword ?
if ( isNaN(x) ) x = 0 ;
you can use the || operator too
function write ( txt )
{
var message = txt || empty message ;
trace(message) ;
}
write(hello) ; // output : hello
write() ; // output : empty message
if you use the cond?true:false operator to return a true value... you can
use directly the condition with the object.
if ( myObject )
{
trace(myObject exist !!!) ;
}
myObject is true if is defined and false if is undefined.

Re: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement
For that specific example, you can usually turn lines like return object ? true : null; into return Boolean( object ); as long as object != 0 and your code doesn't mind getting a false instead of a null. Most objects, as long as they exist, evaluate to Boolean true. Really, though, the ternary operator is confusing enough as is. It tends to be a lot easier to read and maintain plain old if-statements in the long run. -John Mark Hawley From: Helmut Granda [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2007/01/26 Fri PM 03:01:25 CST To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement does anybody knows if there is any short hand for if statement without the else statement? at the moment I am using object ? true : null; thanks... ___ 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 -- John Mark Hawley The Nilbog Group 773.968.4980 (cell) ___ 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] Shorhand for if statement without else statement
Hello :)
warning with the Boolean( o ) if your object is a number... the Boolean(0)
is false but :
var n = 0 ;
trace(Boolean(n)) ; // false
When you test a number the isNaN(n) is better i think :)

Re: RE: [Flashcoders] how to tell if you're running in the ide
You can also set up your code along these lines:
var inTestMovie:Boolean = false;
trace( inTestMovie = true );
if (inTestMovie)
{
// do wacky test movie stuff
}
else
{
// do normal stuff
}
Then you can just turn off trace statements when you want to see the 'normal'
behavior, and leave them on when you want your 'test movie' behavior. You're
probably turning off trace statements on your deliverables anyway.
If you do a done of stuff like this, though, it might be best to use a
preprocessor on your source and have it dump out two different code branches
for you. (I don't have any recommendations on AS preprocessors; I had to throw
one together in Perl at work myself.)

Re: RE: [Flashcoders] how to tell if you're running in the ide
Hello :)
With VEGAS my openSource framework you can use my vegas.logging package :
Page project : http://vegas.riaforge.org/
Example : in the souces in the AS2/trunk/bin/test/vegas/logging package
1 - use a log library to create channels to debug you application with muli
external targets (trace, SOS console, Firebug, FlashInspector etc..)
You can enabled or disabled you logs when you want :)
My log model is based on the AS3 mx.logging framework in Flex2 SDK (
polymorphism but not the same implementation in the class, i use bubbling
events to propagate the logs)
2 - use the class asgard.system.Application to determinates if you are in a
web application, standalone or flash ide application etc...
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/asgard/system/Application.as
ASGard in an extension of VEGAS :)
example :
import asgard.system.Application ;
if ( Application.isFlashIDE() )
{
// initialize log model
}
else
{
// do nothing !
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement
does anybody knows if there is any short hand for if statement without the else statement? 1. You can remove the braces. I always use: if (true) something(); But rarely use: if (true) something(); else somethingElse(); because it can get lost visually in code. 2. Inline conditional I use this all the time. val = (boolean) ? trueVal : falseVal; 3. Inline or conditional val = (if true) || (if not true) This one is a little different than the inline conditional. val will be set to what is left of the || if what is left of the || resolves true (i.e. not 0, undefined or null), otherwise it will be set to what's to the right of the ||. You can also use these without setting a variable. // If boolean is true, call funcA, else call funcB. (boolean) ? funcA() : funcB(); // if funcA returns false, run funcB() funcA() || funcB(); HTH, Steven ___ 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] Shorhand for if statement without else statement
function foo() {
trace(foo);
}
function bar() {
trace(bar);
}
(true) ? foo() : bar();
-- foo
(false) ? foo() : bar();
-- bar
Works fine for me. Not the best practice (I would never use it), but
just showing what's possible with inline conditionals.

Re: [Flashcoders] triangle help
You can also check this post : http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2006-December/177264.html where i share a class of mine called TriangleSolver ... in your case, you can use the sine rule method Sine Rule : side1/angle1 = side2/angle2 = side3/angle3 or hypotheneuse/90 = side2/angle2 = side3/(180 - (90+angle2)) angle1 for example is the angle opposite to side1 var otherSide:Number = TriangleSolver.sineRule(null, angle1, side2, angle2); // will return side1 var otherSide:Number = TriangleSolver.sineRule(side1, null, side2, angle2); // will return angle1 HTH Alain Jason Rayles wrote: Given the interior angles and the length of one side (not the hypoteneuse) of a right triangle, how do I calculate (in Flash) the length of the other 2 sides?

Re: [Flashcoders] Shorhand for if statement without else statement
you could take that a bit further :
(foo) ? foo() : (bar) ? bar() : (foobar) ? foobar() : trace(sorry! no
soup for you!);
