[Flashcoders] [Solution] MovieClipLoader woes (Irritating Bug Alert!)
Hi folks, I just thought I'd share the solution to this - a very irritating AS2 bug/feature that took me an age to track down. If you have a bunch of nested movieclips and any of them (down the chain) share a name, such as: _level0.nav1.nav.mod0.inst0.clip1.inst0.inst0.inst1.res17 (I know, not terribly readable, but autogenerated by our clip-creation code. Note all the 'inst0's) then loadMovie() (and by extension, MovieClipLoader) will silently fail. MovieClipLoader will trigger no listener events at all, not even an error. And whereas loadMovie() will trace a semi-useful error (that it can't find the clip), MovieClipLoader won't trace anything at all. Changing it to: _level0.nav1.nav.mod0.inst0.clip1.inst1.inst2.inst1.res17 (i.e. getting rid of all the 'inst0' duplicates) solves the problem. Flash itself can cope quite happily with clips named the same thing in a clip chain. It only falls over when loading into one of the children. If anyone wants to share my pain, the full rundown is here: http://wildwinter.blogspot.com/2007/02/irritating-bugs-no-1679a-loadmovie-and.html Cheers, Ian On 2/26/07, Ian Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Has anyone ever come across a situation where MovieClipLoader just refuses to fire any events whatsoever?

Re: [Flashcoders] Append variables to SWF server-side
That seems pretty inefficient. Why not just make a Flash Var with the color and have the SWF render that dynamically? I remember some solutions along those lines (including Macromedia Generator) circa 2000, but it just wasn't a great way of doing things like that. SWFs already have intelligence--they're not flat images or baked animations. On 2/26/07, Mick G [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know if there is a way to add data to a SWF file server-side? Eg.

mySound.load(file.mp3, true);
so it plays and buffers the mp3 untill the load is complete.
Actually i need my stop button to stop the song and to stop it
buffering!!!
as in buffering will let the movie itself load the external swfs very
slowly. is there something that pauses streaming i can use in this case

Re: [Flashcoders] Cleaning HTML for use in Flash 8
Hi, I had some experience writing a simple feed aggregator that then loaded in the HTML pages from the remote URL's and tried to clean up the HTML into XHTML.

You are welcome to have a look at the code which I have posted here... http://glenpike.co.uk/sd/ContentGrabber.zip The ContentGrabber is given a URL of an article to get from the PharmaTimes or NYTimes websites and it creates a HTMLHandler object that deals with the parsing.

Re: [Flashcoders] Cleaning HTML for use in Flash 8
Hi David ! We found that in out situation that the big drama was getting tables to render. We use this component: http://www.flashrelief.com/tablemaker/features.html for that part of it. What it requires is that the code is xhtml compliant and will break if it isn't You can use one of the variants of HTML tidy to sort out the code, as long at the code architecture isn't screwed up too much We found that to import the XHTML into Flash as XML also works quite well and is more tolerant, but doesn't include the tables I If the huge database of HTML pages is legacy then methods as above would be helpful. If the HTML pages are currently being created it could be a good idea to first translate to xml then apply an XML transform to convert them All of these ideas are high level -- if you need drilldown then just post again Kind regards David Townsend wrote: Heya All, I am currently working on a project where I am receiving a huge database of html pages that I need to convert into xml to drive a flash application.

Unfortunately swf studio has not been updated for vista yet. As a result you have to have administrator rights to run the flash app. Even more annoying is the fact that if you just run the application by double-clicking the exe (or through an autorun file on a CD-ROM) the exe won't start but will still be listed in the task manager. This means that you manually have to quit the application in the task manager before you can start the exe as an administrator. The worst thing about this whole issue is that Microsoft didn't think it was necessary to inform the user in any way when he tries to run a legacy exe. No error message - nothing. The app just won't start. So my question is: Are there any workarounds yet? Do other swf wrapper tools already work with vista? I came up with this idea of creating a vista compatible windows form application. This application would then open an alert popup window, which informs the user that the application which is about to be launched (my flash exe) requires administrator rights. It would then prompt the user to Run the application as an administrator, start the flash exe and quit. Not sure if this is possible though ... Any thoughts?

Re: [Flashcoders] Append variables to SWF server-side
HI Mick ! Consider the open source utility SWFMill Providing the server is compatible with one of it's builds then 1. Get a PHP to do : swfmill swf2xml [swfname.swf] [file.xml] 2. Edit the XML file which step 1 produces from PHP 3. Get PHP to do: swfmill xml2swf [fiel.xml] [swfname.swf] This should do the job and SWFMill seems to work brilliantly on content up to Flash 8 (Goes a bit funny on Flash 9/Flex) Hope this helps Post more if it doesn't !

Re: [Flashcoders] Append variables to SWF server-side
So, how is the user viewing the SWF? Is it embedded in an HTML page? If so, you could just make those parameters defined in the HTML, and then have the SWF know to look for the parameters at runtime. The SWFs I use do a lot of that. -Andy On 2/26/07, Mick G [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know if there is a way to add data to a SWF file server-side? Eg. I have a swf that site on my server.

Re: [Flashcoders] XPathAPI recursive XML search
Tom Klepl wrote:
Thanks for the reply.. unfortunately this only returns matching nodes
below the parent node specified. What I need is to crawl the XML tree

Unfortunately, Flash has never had a good means to traverse an XML tree.
Macromedia's XPath API is a decent improvement to the out-of-the-box
functionality, but if you need to do deep searches into your XML tree of
the sort like the W3C DOM's getElementsByName and getElementById calls,
you'll have to do it yourself.
I have previously written an open-source GPL implementation of the
standards based W3C DOM Level 3 Core Specification for ActionScript 2
and wound up writing the traversal algorithms myself. Unless you really
need a lot of the W3C DOM API though, I'd suggest sticking with the
native XML implementation as it's about an order-of-magnitude faster
than mine here:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ugo/
I made a quick and dirty rewrite of the pre-order traversal algorithm
suitable for use with the native ActionScript 2.0 XMLNode object (as
seems to be your case) below at the end of this message.
Should you need to traverse your XML tree in some other order, you can
fairly easily change the while loop structure to accomodate this. If
you need help doing this, you can probably compare against my
implementation of the traverse method in the DOM3 Node class in the
above project.
Hope this helps,

Re: [Flashcoders] swf/html and swf/swf communication
localconnection i believe is supported in all the browsers - as long as you have the minimum flash player requirement (i think flash player 6 was the first one to add support?) as for the getURL question: if you are using flash player 8 or higher you should be using external interface, which i don't think has a limit (or if it does, it's a very high limit). BUT, that said, you shouldn't really put javascript code into your swfs like that, it's much smarter to put the js code in your html page, and then simply call the js functions from your swf when you need them to do something.

I was told by someone that since the intervals are in the global

yourself. Which this does make sense so I created a function to call
before I call removeMovieClip().
BTW, now that I'm thinking of it is it possible to do this?
private var myInterval:Number;
public function MyClass(mc:MovieClip) {
myMC = mc;
}
public function destroy():Void {
clearInterval(myInterval);
myMC.removeMovieClip();
}
myMC is a reference of the clip on stage that is blinking. Currently,
I call myClassInstance.destroy() and then blinkingMC.removeMovieClip
(). I assume it's possible to have removeMovieClip() in destroy()
since myMC is a reference of blinkingMC, correct?

Re: [Flashcoders] swf/html and swf/swf communication
Yeah, I did some extensive testings on that yesterday, the only thing is that you can't return values from javascript with only inline javascript, -and you have to use void(0) in the getURL to avoid the return-values. ExternalInterface is good of course, but I am after making all the functionality in flash because of the CMS is not that greatly flexible.

RE: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader woes
Have you tried listening for the onLoadError event in the MCL class to see if any errors are output? Also, is it that specific swf, or does it not load the third swf every time, regardless of the swf?

The situation: - Flash 8, running in IDE or as local projector (on Win XP) - A whole pile of successful MovieClipLoader calls have been made (probably 50 or so by this stage), _including_ the very same bit of code which later fails. - Nothing else is loading/streaming at the same time. - Three calls (in rapid succession) are made to a function which does the following: - creates a new MovieClipLoader - creates a new MovieClip (at a new depth) - assigns a new listener for the MovieClipLoader - starts loading a .swf into the clip. The first two times, it works perfectly. The third time, no events are fired and the clip apparently doesn't load. On each occasion, we wait for the previous load to successfully complete first (onLoadInit) before we call the function again. Completely repeatable each time. The loaded .swf isn't doing anything odd (it contains no code whatsoever). *sigh* Any ideas? Or robust alternatives to MovieClipLoader? (Bokel's LoaderClass is a little heavyweight for what I want to do, but I might take a look at it).

[Flashcoders] setstyle for component

Do i need to write setstyle separately for each parameter or how should i write the code to set multiple properties in one setstyle statement. thanks Abhi On 2/25/07, Robin Burrer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi there, I'm using swf studio as a swf wrapper. Unfortunately swf studio has not been updated for vista yet. As a result you have to have administrator rights to run the flash app. Even more annoying is the fact that if you just run the application by double-clicking the exe (or through an autorun file on a CD-ROM) the exe won't start but will still be listed in the task manager. This means that you manually have to quit the application in the task manager before you can start the exe as an administrator. The worst thing about this whole issue is that Microsoft didn't think it was necessary to inform the user in any way when he tries to run a legacy exe. No error message - nothing. The app just won't start. So my question is: Are there any workarounds yet? Do other swf wrapper tools already work with vista? I came up with this idea of creating a vista compatible windows form application. This application would then open an alert popup window, which informs the user that the application which is about to be launched (my flash exe) requires administrator rights. It would then prompt the user to Run the application as an administrator, start the flash exe and quit. Not sure if this is possible though ... Any thoughts?

[Flashcoders] ColorMatrix
Hello flash coders,
I need some help with color transformations. I want to change dynamicly
the hue of a MC with a transition/tween, something like fading from one
image to another with different colors. I tried both G. Skinner's and M.
Klingman's colorMatrix class, but the tweening they use is bound to some
object. In G.S's demo there's a scroll bar, and in M.K's he uses two
images. I want to use one of their classes but be able to transform the
color of one MC just with a function: onSomeEvent ... { tweenHue for
myMC from thisHUE to newHUE }.
Thanks in advance

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time
I wait until the MovieClipLoader's listener object receives the onLoadInit call before allowing the loaded swf to continue. I'm late to this but shouldn't it be onLoadComplete() Andrew On 23 Feb 2007, at 21:53, Jay Bibby wrote: Hi, I'm at my wits end on this and I don't know where to turn for help. Numerous Google searches have turned up little in the way of anyone encountering a similar issue. I have an interface shell swf that handles the selection, loading and display of various external game swfs within it. All are loaded via a MovieClipLoader object and all of them have _lockroot set to true. One particular game behaves fine when loaded the first time into the shell. But loaded a 2nd time, I get the following 256 levels of recursion error message... 256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list. This is probably an infinite loop. Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie. The error occurs while the external swf is attaching a movieclip from its library... t = _root.attachMovie(title, title, 1000); I thought perhaps that it just might be a timing issue, since loading the swf a second time is virtually instantaneous, even though I wait until the MovieClipLoader's listener object receives the onLoadInit call before allowing the loaded swf to continue. So I created several delays in the swf, via timeouts and also by extending the main timeline. Doing so actually seemed to fix the problem. The title screen was created and the start button on it was functional. Subsequently starting the game created the first puzzle and all seemed good until one of the objects in the first puzzle was clicked on... then the same recursion error. I'm at my wits end. To recap: The game functions perfectly the first time it is loaded. However, after unloading the swf and reloading it again, the same swf seems to be unstable. Has anyone seen similar behavior before when using externally loaded swfs? Or do you have any ideas as to what to look for in the code? Thanks very much.

[Flashcoders] simulating airbrush + calligraphy brush
Hi all, Is there a way to simulate how an airbrush tool or a calligraphy brush works using Flash Drawing API? I'm talking about drawing tools you see in MS-Paint, where an airbrush produces random dots/circles near the mouse cursor while calligraphy brush is like a regular brush but the tip is oval. I know that using capsStyle argument in lineStyle method can produce rounded or squared tip, but no oval. Does anyone know how to create a custom tip (capsStyle) for lineStyle? If the regular Drawing API isn't sufficient, can anyone give any ideas of other ways to achieve this? I was thinking of looping an attachMovie method during onEnterFrame/onMouseDown to place custom shaped MCs. Is this a good idea to go with? thanks, Guntur N.

[Flashcoders] XML.load() and complex corporate network environments (load balancers, firewalls, etc.)
All,
I'm working on a Flash project for a large financial services client.
The problem has to do with xml.load().
After the movie loads completely, I use xml.load() to load an XML
configuration file - it's just a static text file that sits in the
same directory as the swf itself.
The code looks like this:
config_xml = new XML();
config_xml.onLoad = xmlLoaded;
config_xml.load(config.xml);
stop();
function xmlLoaded(success) {
if (success) {
// parse the xml
else {
// handle error
}
}
When I run this locally or from my server (Media Temple, a
shared-server ISP), it works fine - the (success) branch of the
conditional is always executed
However, when my client places it into its environment, it doesn't always work.
- If you access the swf from WITHIN their corporate firewall, it always works.
- If you access the swf from SOME geographic regions outside the
firewall, it always works
- If you access the swf from OTHER geographic regions, it never works
- the !(success) branch is executed
Can this have anything to do with Flash? I'm no network security
expert, so I don't no what to look for. The client uses a complex
system of security, firewalls, and load balancers, so anything's
possible.
While I'd love to solve the problem, my primary concern is ruling out
(if appropriate), Flash as the cause.
Also, XML.load(), while useful, is pretty rudimentary - it calls the
callback function with either a true or false parameter. Is it
possible to get more information on WHY it fails?
Also, sometimes it fails right away, other times it takes a long time.
Is this behavior controllable?
Many thanks in advance for your advice and insight!
Cheers,
Matt Stuehler

Within new window, there is my flash application, which at some stage requires another flash application! Which is bigger. So I try the resize window method within body tag, which isnt 100 - i.e doesnt work in IE7. (ok in firefox) Whats the best thing to do here? Does anyone know a 100% working method for resizing windows from within Flash? Am I doing something totally stupid by even thinking about window resizing? Any help would be cool!
