[Flashcoders] How to remove scrollbar on Flash Paper via Flash Paper component
Hi list I am using the FlashPaper Component 0.7 to display flashpaper elements in my Flash movie (Flash 8 PC CDROM) Does anyone know how to remove the scrollbar? I have managed to remove all the other UI elements with the following code but a scrollbar is still appearing on the right hand side. I do not want my user to be able to scroll the document. FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(Close, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(Brand, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(ZoomKeys, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(Overflow, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(Page, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(Sidebar, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(Pop, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(Find, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(Zoom, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(Tool, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(Print, false); FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement(PrevNext, false); I also tried the following but it does not seem to have any affect: FP_Object.document_fp.enableScrolling(false); Btw, I have put my flash paper component inside a container movie clip, which I am attaching and removing on the fly as and when it is needed.

[Flashcoders] Transformation Matrix to MovieClip properties
Hi, I'm working on a jsfl script that should get movieclips properties for future use. Taking a look at the jsfl reference, I realized that's possible to get the Transformation Matrix of an element, instead of getting the _xscale, _yscale and _rotation directly. The thing is I didn't get it how to convert the Transformation Matrix to MovieClip properties values.. Can anyone of you guys help me about it? The matrix returned via jsfl has the a, b, c, d, tx and ty parameters, and I need to know the _xscale, _yscale and _rotation of the movieclips. Thank you in advance!

[Flashcoders] Antialiasing BitmapData in AS2?
Hey all, I've been mucking about with a metablob-type thing, and have got it rendering quite nicely. However, it only renders a black-or-white (1bit) bitmap - does anyone know of a good technique to do fast antialiasing on such a bitmap? I've tried blurring a bit (which is slow as hell, and looks crap) and rendering at 1/2 res and scaling up with a draw() with smoothing on, which also looks crap. Any better suggestions?

[Flashcoders] Cancelling a load in progress : has this issue ever been fully resolved ???
Hi! Just wondering if anyone ever found a solution to stop loading something that is currently loading in the Flash Player (an image, a sound, an XML file, etc.)? I've heard and tried about loading a dummy (non-existent) file in place of the file being loaded to stop the load process. When I used it, it seemed to work but I've read it doesn't work in all OS/Browser combinations. I think there are issues with this on the Mac, in Safari and/or IE 5. Is that right? Does this method effectively stops a load in progress in all OS/Browser combinations? With this method, I noticed that if I halted a load in progress at say 75% by loading a dummy file in place of the one currently being loaded, and then restarted loading that file later on, the load starts at 75%. So where is this partial file being stored? Is it in memory? Is it in the browser cache (even if it's only partial)? David Bored stiff? Loosen up...

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Extending Class with Static Variables, recommended practice
You only need to declare things in child classes if you're overriding them, so unless you're doing that you should just declare them in the super class. Also, I tend to think it's bad idea to override variables, but that may just be me. -Andy On 2/1/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I'm cuurrently refactoring some code in a project with lots of extended classes.

[Flashcoders] Detecting NaN
I'm trying to convert an arbitrary object into a Number, and then
detect if the conversion actually succeeded. In theory I would
convert it and then check if the converted value is NaN, but this
doesn't seem to work.
Here's my test. In a blank FLA I put the following code:
--
var foo = foobar;
var fooN:Number = Number(foo);
trace(typeof(fooN));
if(fooN == NaN) {
trace(fooN is NaN);
} else {
trace(fooN is a number: + fooN);
}
--
This should output:
number
fooN is NaN
but instead I get:
number
fooN is a number: NaN
For some reason the check to see if it's NaN isn't working, and I have
no idea why.
It looks like I can use isNaN(fooN) for the check instead, but I'm
wondering why == doesn't work.

Hello,
Can anybody tell me how to sort the following array based upon the second
value
within each array item
myArray:Array = [ [20,40],[20,10],[30,15],[30,35],[40,100],[1000,1]];
this should be something like
[[1000,1], [20,10], .
Faster the better cos its for a game and gets called a lot of times.

Re: [Flashcoders] 2-d sort solver
Shouldn't your mySorter() function have a return at the end or in an
'else' block? Otherwise you're only returning a value when the
condition passes, which isn't really a good idea.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Extending Class with Static Variables, recommended practice
Hi, I am not an expert, but from what I have read. Private variables, don't
need to be declared, so if you don't need them outside the function, or
event I think you can keep things neat by not declaring them at all until
you assign them.
And non-static variables, (dynamic variables) I would assign to an
instance. VarInstanceName = eval(varNameDynamicInstance+i)l for exapmle
if you are using calling them via a for loop. (for i= value ; i condition
;i++){code;} .
Unless you need them outside of the sub Class you can just leave them in
the function without declairing them. If you need them in across the Class,
define them in the class function declaration. eg.
_global.myClassName=function(){
varName1 = 1;
varName2 = Some String;}
And of course if you need them across Seperate Classes define them as
_global.varName.
Hope this helps.
Like to hear other solutions.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Extending Class with Static Variables, recommended practice
I think you might be a bit confused. private variables aren't ones
that are just used in individual functions, but are data that the
class needs to persist but doesn't want visible to those using the
class. These should always be declared (and I think they have to be
or the compiler will choke, at least doing strict AS2). Even if
you're extending Object (so you can do things like this.foo = stuff
without foo being declared) it's still a good idea to declare them.
If you're using the variable to store information that needs to
persist you really want it declared so you can be sure you're using
the right variable. If you need that data later (or if someone else
is working on the code and needs it) and it isn't declared it could be
difficult to figure out where the data is stored if it isn't declared.
And I'm not sure what you mean by your non-static variables thing
(assign to an instance). From your example I think you're mixing
that up as well. Static variables are variables that are shared
between all instances of a particular class, and don't need an
instance of the class to be accessed (most commonly used for constants
or singleton instances). Non-static variables are tied to a
particular instance of a class.
Also, in general I don't think it's a good idea to use _global.
Global variables aren't really things that should be needed in good
OOP design. For things that you need to access from anywhere and want
only a single instance of then that's what Singletons are for, and
they're a bit safer than global variables.
The main reason I think global variables are dangerous is that they're
shared by *everything*. This makes it very difficult to avoid name
collisions unless you go with really convoluted variable names. You
have no way of knowing if some other code or package is using the same
global variable as you.

Re: [Flashcoders] fullscreen javascript
It would probably be better if you find one solution that works for
all browsers (that you want to support) instead of trying to switch
between different methods for different browsers. Browser detection
isn't always completely accurate, and it adds unnecessary complexity.
We do something like this in our product. I don't remember the
specific code for it, but we use javascript to detect the screen size
and then open the window with that size. It's worked for every
browser we've thrown it at.

Safari). So you have to look for an alternative to launch a fullscreen
in FF/Netscape/Moz

Even if
you're extending Object (so you can do things like this.foo = stuff
without foo being declared) it's still a good idea to declare them.
Actually, you have to even if extending Object. The only time you
don't have to declare private variables is if you specifically set
your class to be dynamic:
class FixedObject extends Object {
public function FixedObject() {
foo = bar; // Throws an error, since foo was never declared.
}
}
dynamic class DynamicObject extends Object {
public function FixedObject() {
foo = bar; // Works fine.
foo = new Date(); // Also works fine.
}
}
Generally using dynamic classes is not a good practice, since you
can't do compile-time type checking on dynamic classes.
(Incidentally, it is possible to create a dynamic subclass of a fixed
class, too.)

[Flashcoders] Simple clip stop problem?
Hey all, I'm having what should be a simple thing turn in to a problem. Have a ship sprite for my game, that's a movie clip. I designed it with two layers (one for the images, one for actionscript). The clip contains three sections - 1) Plain ship (1 keyframe), 2) Ship with engine on (1 keyframe), 3)Ship expoloding (8 keyframes). I call the first to with .gotoAndStop(1) and .gotoAndStop(2) respectively (and each one of those frames has a stop() in the actionscript layer). When I call the third one with .gotoAndPlay(3), it plays the explosion but loops back around to keyframe 1, which I of course don't want. I just want it to play that explosion and stop on the last keyframe (which is a blank keyframe). I tried putting a stop() in the last keyframe of the actionscript layer in that clip, which didn't help. I would appreciate help, as the coder in me just wants to do a routine then in the main stage actionscript that would just do an counter that increments during each frame of the main movie and manually call each frame of the ship movie. But I shouldn't have to do that, as how I'm trying to do it now should be old hat for a Flash animation. Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting NaN
Andy,
Like the other poster said, us isNaN, but I was also curious about why
this might be true.
I found this link on the subject that will be helpful (original page
down):
http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:ilnSqw-hBjwJ:livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/package.html+Flash+NaN+equalityhl=engl=usct=clnkcd=3
The |*NaN*| value is not considered equal to any other value, including
|*NaN*|, which makes it impossible to use the *equality* operator to
test whether an expression is |*NaN*|. To determine whether a number is
the |*NaN*| function, use |isNaN()|.

I'm trying to convert an arbitrary object into a Number, and then
detect if the conversion actually succeeded. In theory I would
convert it and then check if the converted value is NaN, but this
doesn't seem to work.
Here's my test. In a blank FLA I put the following code:
--
var foo = foobar;
var fooN:Number = Number(foo);
trace(typeof(fooN));
if(fooN == NaN) {
trace(fooN is NaN);
} else {
trace(fooN is a number: + fooN);
}
--
This should output:
number
fooN is NaN
but instead I get:
number
fooN is a number: NaN
For some reason the check to see if it's NaN isn't working, and I have
no idea why.
It looks like I can use isNaN(fooN) for the check instead, but I'm
wondering why == doesn't work.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Extending Class with Static
Variables,recommended practice
I think you might be a bit confused. private variables aren't ones
that are just used in individual functions, but are data that the
class needs to persist but doesn't want visible to those using the
class. These should always be declared (and I think they have to be
or the compiler will choke, at least doing strict AS2). Even if
you're extending Object (so you can do things like this.foo = stuff
without foo being declared) it's still a good idea to declare them.
If you're using the variable to store information that needs to
persist you really want it declared so you can be sure you're using
the right variable. If you need that data later (or if someone else
is working on the code and needs it) and it isn't declared it could be
difficult to figure out where the data is stored if it isn't declared.
And I'm not sure what you mean by your non-static variables thing
(assign to an instance). From your example I think you're mixing
that up as well. Static variables are variables that are shared
between all instances of a particular class, and don't need an
instance of the class to be accessed (most commonly used for constants
or singleton instances). Non-static variables are tied to a
particular instance of a class.
Also, in general I don't think it's a good idea to use _global.
Global variables aren't really things that should be needed in good
OOP design. For things that you need to access from anywhere and want
only a single instance of then that's what Singletons are for, and
they're a bit safer than global variables.
The main reason I think global variables are dangerous is that they're
shared by *everything*. This makes it very difficult to avoid name
collisions unless you go with really convoluted variable names. You
have no way of knowing if some other code or package is using the same
global variable as you.

Hi, I am not an expert, but from what I have read. Private variables,
don't

until
you assign them.
And non-static variables, (dynamic variables) I would assign to an
instance. VarInstanceName = eval(varNameDynamicInstance+i)l for
exapmle
if you are using calling them via a for loop. (for i= value ; i
condition
;i++){code;} .
Unless you need them outside of the sub Class you can just leave them
in
the function without declairing them. If you need them in across the
Class,
define them in the class function declaration. eg.
_global.myClassName=function(){
varName1 = 1;
varName2 = Some String;}
And of course if you need them across Seperate Classes define them as
_global.varName.
Hope this helps.
Like to hear other solutions.

What is the recommended practice in declaring static vs non-static

Should they be declared in both the super and sub classes?
My goal is to avoid any redundant code.
Thanks
Note:
class SuperClass {
public static var CONSTANT:String = SuperClass;
public function toString():String {

class SubClass extends SuperClass {

var obj:SubClass = new SubClass();

Overriding static variables does not work as you might expect. To get

RE: [Flashcoders] sort 2d array
Consider:
myArray.sortOn( 1, Array.NUMERIC );
From a quick test this is 2-3 times faster than the callback compare way.
10K entries sorted in:
sortOn(1) : 5ms
sort(compare) : 13ms
This works because array indices are considered as keys just like normal
objects.

Subject: [Flashcoders] sort 2d array
Hello,
Can anybody tell me how to sort the following array based upon the second
value
within each array item
myArray:Array = [ [20,40],[20,10],[30,15],[30,35],[40,100],[1000,1]];
this should be something like
[[1000,1], [20,10], .
Faster the better cos its for a game and gets called a lot of times.

Re: [Flashcoders] Class Initiation Q:
check out also this link : http://www.osflash.org/flashcoders/as2#creating_a_class_instance_based_on_movieclip_without_a_symbol_in_the_library I've used it a few times and it works great ! Helmut Granda wrote: I created a simple class for an object that would be attached to the Stage with a simple: attachMovie(blah, bla); it all works great, but I wanted to move the code completely away from the timeline and move it into a new class that will initiate the whole process. So my first thought was attach the Movie within the original class, but of course now my events wont have effect into the new created object. So what would be the best approach? In the perfect world I would have a class that will then use the class that I created to create new items without having to do any coding in the timeline One more thing, I tried registerClass after creating the objects within the original class, it works but for some odd reason it adds 2 items on the stage rather than only 1 as requested.

Re: [Flashcoders] how do I setvalue and then getvalue between flash and scorm server
if you can use ExternalInterface (Flash 8) or the Javascript
Integration Kit (http://osflash.org/flashjs) to communicate back and
forth with your LMS.
As for having cuepoints triggering your actions you should look up
FLVPlayback.cuePoint events
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=3488.html#wp3773909
// from livedocs
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace(Elapsed time in seconds: + my_FLVPlybk.playheadTime);
trace(Cue point name is: + eventObject.info.name);
trace(Cue point type is: + eventObject.info.type);
}
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(cuePoint, listenerObject);
inside your listener function you could define your LMS actions.
