Re: [Flashcoders] text length difference
hi joshua thw for answer, but as I told Jah: yes, this is the reason why I have 651 instead of 502 in the 1st case. but I search the difference between 651 and 762, after passing trough an xml and a localConnection. I don't know wich one causes trouble I know this html tags add, but I find a second add after passing throug a localConnection. It seems to be a format problem, but i guess localConnection uses UTF-8, isn't it? so where does it come from? ++ PiR Joshua Sera a écrit : When you enable html in a textfield, Flash adds a bunch of formatting in HTML.

[Flashcoders] Extending List v2 component
Hello Flashers, I'd like to have some advice on customizing List v2 component since I have no deeper knowledge of v2 components set architecture. I need to extend the List component in some custom List class that would physically render all items of its data provider and not just use virtual rows that are filled with changed content on every scrolling event.. I'd need some hints, how could I achieve this. Is this not possible to do with standard List component by some tweaks? Or if I have to extend the List component what exactly should I do and which methods do I have to override in the class? I'm somehow lost in that v2 code..

[Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
It seems like in many of the projects I'm doing I need to have simultaneous onRollOver events. For example, a small movie clip with additional buttons needs to enlarge when the mouse is over it so the user can clearly click the buttons. However, when the user mouses over a button, flash no longer detects that the mouse is still over the movieclip and thus executes the onRollOut event making the movieclip shrink and the user can't see the buttons clearly anymore. I've used some code which can tell if the mouse is over an object, and attaching that to onMouseMove events can basically make two mouse overs. While its not checking the mouse position every frame, its still not as efficient as I'd like. Does anyone have any thoughts on a more efficient way to detect two mouse over events at the same time?

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
One solution I've used in the past was to use collapse() and cancelCollapse() methods. The parent rollover would use setInterval() to call collapse() on a delay of a few milliseconds giving the child onRollOver events the ability to be handled first. The child buttons would call cancelCollapse() on roll over which was basically a clearInterval() call. If cancelCollapse() wasn't called by a button then collapse() would eventually be called by setInterval().

Re: [Flashcoders] Doxygen support for Actionscript
I like the idea of using an industry standard open source tool for this but Doxygen does need an ActionScript preprocessor to fix up these little problems caused by the slight but important differences in syntax between ActionScript and JAVA and C. When I first started using Doxygen for ActionScript, there were not that many people writing real RIA applications that were going into production so documentation was not a big deal. Now that there are major business applications being build where ActionScript and server applications are part of the same project, perhaps there will be a bigger demand for a tool like Doxygen that can cross language barriers and provide consistent documentation and annotation standards for both sides of the client/server street. I hope that may lead to a Doxygen preprocessor for ActionScript. You may want to raise this issue in the Doxygen forum. Perhaps someone there who knows how to build a preprocessor might come to our aide. Ron Forums @ Existanze wrote: Hello Ron, Thank you for your reply.

In simple cases I have been able to do this by looping through a list of possible target objects and calling hitTest() on each one. However, issues arise when there are multiple objects for which hitTest() returns true. This can happen with hidden objects, or more often, objects sitting on layers that aren't currently visible. Sometimes I can compare the depth of 2 conflicting objects, and I assume whichever one has a larger depth is rendered in front of the other. This doesn't always work, however. I am debugging a case where there are two objects that return hitTest()=true, have identical depths, have identical bounding boxes, and both have _visible set to true. Only one of them is actually visible to the user at any given time, however. What other properties of a movieclip can be checked to determine if it's really the one that the user can currently see? Or is there a better way to do this, rather than using hitTest()? Let me know if I can clarify.

Re: [Flashcoders] checking microphone
There are a lot of ways that the microphone input could be invalid. You check Microphone.names.length to see if they even have a microphone installed, and check the current microphone's muted property to see if they are denying you access to it. If it's denied, System.showSettings(0) will help them allow access to the mic. If you know they have at least one mic, you could prompt the user to speak, then check the current microphone's activityLevel to see if you get anything. If not, use System.showSettings(2) to open the microphone settings panel so they can choose the right mic and adjust the input level.

[Flashcoders] Sound changes in AS 3
I was just perusing the Flex/Flash API docs online, and noticed some changes in AS 3 to the Sound class which alarm me. An application I am working on now has essentially a simple wavetable synth, which has a lot of assets named by note (e.g. c#4), and at runtime instantiates a bunch of Sound objects, using attachSound() on each to initialize the synth. attachSound() has been removed from AS 3, and the docs' explanation of how one would do this now do not make sense to me. For one thing, they involve associating a unique class with each sound asset, unless I'm confused. Is anyone using event sounds a lot in AS 3, and care to comment? Wondering how I will port my code, and eager to move on to AS 3 at some point here... Oh and another technical note: I discovered when I load sounds from an external SWF, that Sound objects must be constructed specifying the level where the loaded sound exists* in order to work properly. So when calling from my main movie, I need to loadMovie(soundbank.swf) and then do new Sound(_level1) for each sound object. Wondering if this is different in AS 3, seeing as levels are no more. * Even weirder, if I instantiate the Sound objects *inside* the loaded soundbank movie, they need to be constructed as new Sound(_root), even though when loaded the movie is definitely at level1. Presumably something about how _root is resolved at compile-time... ___ 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

Thank you Ron, I will try that On Tue, 2007-02-06 at 10:46 -0500, Ron Wheeler wrote: I like the idea of using an industry standard open source tool for this but Doxygen does need an ActionScript preprocessor to fix up these little problems caused by the slight but important differences in syntax between ActionScript and JAVA and C. When I first started using Doxygen for ActionScript, there were not that many people writing real RIA applications that were going into production so documentation was not a big deal. Now that there are major business applications being build where ActionScript and server applications are part of the same project, perhaps there will be a bigger demand for a tool like Doxygen that can cross language barriers and provide consistent documentation and annotation standards for both sides of the client/server street. I hope that may lead to a Doxygen preprocessor for ActionScript. You may want to raise this issue in the Doxygen forum.

Re: [Flashcoders] bitmap RLE example
Zeh Fernando wrote: I have a project that creates comic strips, and the owner would like me to make it so that users can download an image of the comics they create. I have looked around, and found that this is possible to do in Flash 8, but there are some performance considerations. I've seen it mentioned a few times that you can help the problem, which seems to be tied mostly the time it will take to upload an uncompressed bitmap to a server, by compressing the bitmap stream using RLE or LZW. I haven't found any examples that I can follow that show or explain how to do that. Does anyone have an example of how I can compress a bitmap stream then upload it to a server (any server scripts in php to send that data back as an image file, are a bonus ;-) ). There are many AS classes that do LZW compression for you, and RLE could easily be done with new code. Depending on what kind of data you'll compress - ie, black white data - RLE is good enough. If not, LZW is the way to go, but you'll be spending *a lot* of time reading them compressing it. You would need the decoding done on the server side script too. The AS part is just half of the equation. LZW is standardized, though, so if you're going with LZW data, it might be easy to find LZW decoders in PHP. Another possible solution (depending on your case) would be to use AS3. It can do PNG generation natively and faster (so you'd have to upload the PNG data, then simply output it to a file when the PHP receives it). Anyhow, if you're looking for LZW in AS2, I would suggest this one: http://hosted.zeh.com.br/misc/classes/zeh/compression/LZW.as It's the one I've done for my own use, the difference from all others being that it has functionality to split the compression between frames instead of trying to do all at once (and freezing playback). Read the .AS file for usage examples. Zeh Sweet! Thanks for the link.

Re: [Flashcoders] brain is dead: Syntax Error, why?
You probably need to tell flash where to find your classes.
If this is flash 8, open your .fla and select
- Edit - Preferences - ActionScript
- Language: Actionscript 2.0 Settings... (button)
- Classpath: [+] (plus button)
- type in: ./as (to open field)
This will let flash look in that folder for your class packages - this
affects all flash projects. If you want to set it on a project-level basis,
select:
- File - Publish Settings - Flash - Actionscript 2.0: Settings (button)
And set it there!
Good luck! If all else fails, post your code in a zip and we'll take a look.

Re: [Flashcoders] var (eventHandler)
It's possible you are getting confused in further details about event
handling. There is some invisible stuff happening here that goes
beyond just understanding classes and objects. Buttons and MovieClips
are registered listeners of mouse events automatically. What this
means is that an event broadcaster will call specific methods of any
button or movie clip. By default, however, these methods do not exist
-- that is, there are no such properties as onMouseMove, onRelease,
etc.
In a class, you would define methods (normally) in the class definition:
class MyThing {
function onRelease() {
doSomething();
}
}
However with buttons and clips you often are dealing with an object
(aka instance), rather than the class, so you can take advantage of
ActionScript's allowing dynamic properties. This feature means you can
add new methods and properties to object instances that were not
defined in the class:
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.new_prop = foo;
obj.doSomething = function () { trace something; }
And so, with a button or clip, you can assign an event handler:
my_mc.onRelease = function() {
// respond to mouse click
}
Once this method exists in the object, it will respond to this event,
which it has previously been receiving and ignoring.

RE: [Flashcoders] var (eventHandler)
Eric,
The example you're referring to comes up when the authors of that text are
explaining the concept of encapsulation. It's a way of creating an
onEnterFrame event on the same timeline as the code. It doesn't actually
have anything to do with classes.
If you have a class that extends the movieClip class and want an object of
that class to do something at each enterFrame event, you'd want to use
something such as:
class myMovieClips extends MovieClip {
// PRIVATE METHODS
private function doSomething():Void {
// code here
}
// EVENT HANDLERS
function onEnterFrame():Void {
this.doSomething();
}
}
Make more sense? HTH!
...Rob

RE: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
I'm not sure how your app is structured but if you can't put your movieclips above this 3rd party movieclip you wont be able to use _droptarget (as you've already discovered) unless you can set that interfering movieclips visibility to false. I'm not sure how / why you want to check what mc the mouse is over, but you could also just manually set movieclips to set an over variable onRollOver / onRollOut or onPress. The reason why I'm suggesting one of these methods is that all other options will be much more complex, processor intensive and time consuming. Unfortunately there is no getMovieClipAt(x,y) method. Your best bet is to think about what core functionality you really need and go with the cheapest solution. So if your goal isn't as broad as knowing EVERY movieclips position / depth maybe you can put a few invisible movieclips over the 3rd party clip that represents the position of the mcs you really care about. -erik -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vishal Kapur Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 5:26 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint Ok, got it.
