[Flashcoders] Q: Flash, digital audio and Slimserver

2007-02-28 Thread moveup
Hi
I'm wondering if anyone has hijacked digital audiofrom their pc/macs using 
flash.

I'd like to use some of the more sophisticated audio handling abilities in AS3, 
such as accessing sound frequencies.
I'm using Slimserver, a Python/MYsql based music server that also acts as a 
'front'end' to itunes, using itunes playlists and streaming digital audio out 
to a network music device, in this case the Squeezebox.
http://www.slimdevices.com/

Someone has already created a Flex based front end to Slimserver called Slimfx
http://solaristics.net/slimfx/

I simply want to hijack the digital audio data coming from Slimserver so I can 
use it to drive a visual Actionscript3 based dynamic display on my mac.

Not sure where to start...

Re: [Flashcoders] Append variables to SWF server-side

2007-02-28 Thread Mick G

The reason I want this server side is the SWFs are loading dynamic content
via a database, and I want users to be able to download a SWF with this
dynamic data embedded in the swf so they can use it in their own websites.

I did find this tool which looks promising (allbeit limiting)

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.

 would require large CPU so I'm not sure if this is possible but thought
I'd
 ask anyway.

RE: [Flashcoders] simulating airbrush + calligraphy brush

2007-02-28 Thread Danny Kodicek
  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?

This sounds like the kind of thing that would be a bad idea with vectors. If
you're doing that style of drawing you're probably better off working with
copyPixels and BitmapData objects. With all those dots you might find things
chugging.

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader woes

2007-02-28 Thread Ian Thomas

Hi Dan (and Muzak),

  I've posted my solution to the problem, but am not entirely sure
that it made the list given the errors we've been having the last few
days.

  In short, it turned out to be a bug (or 'feature') in loadMovie() -
if you have the same instance name repeatedly in the hierarchy of your
clip (e.g. _level0.inst0.inst0.myclip) then loadMovie() _can_ fail
(not always, oddly). Ensuring that all names in the chain were unique
(_level0.inst0.inst1.myclip) solved the problem.

 A more complete explanation is here:
http://wildwinter.blogspot.com/2007/02/irritating-bugs-no-1679a-loadmovie-and.html

Thanks for the help,
  Ian

Subject: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader woes

Hi all,
  Has anyone ever come across a situation where MovieClipLoader just
refuses to fire any events whatsoever?

  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] Question: Find out the depth of an XML-File

2007-02-28 Thread Wenzler, Thomas
Hello list,

 

this is my first question to the list... I need to find out the depth of
a given xml file to afterwards find one specific node in the whole
document.

Right now I stacked some loops into each other but that is bad practice
since I never can be sure if I reach the deepest child in my search and
on the other hand have those loops running no matter if it's worth
while.

So what I need is a completely different approach to my problem...

 

I hope I could make myself understood here and thanks in advance for
your help,

Thanks for the replies,

Yeah I was thinking the same about system chugging with lots of vectors to

cleaner (adding pixels to the single BitmapData instead of having lots ad
lots of MCs). Thanks Danny

RE: [Flashcoders] simulating airbrush + calligraphy brush

2007-02-28 Thread Mike Mountain
A clever way to approach this would be to save the path information as a
vector, but to apply the airbrush effect in a bitmap along the path -
this way you can assign different brushes to the path after it's been
drawn, undo points etc.

 Subject: [Flashcoders] [Solution] MovieClipLoader woes 
 (Irritating BugAlert!)
 
 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:

Hi all

Finishing a project and came to a hurdle.

1. User clicks on link in browser. Opens a new smaller browser window!
(Out of interest, what do people think about opening new browser
windows?, I cant decide whether this is a bad idea to begin with!)

2. 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!


Love you all

RE: [Flashcoders] simulating airbrush + calligraphy brush

2007-02-28 Thread Mike Mountain
This may actually sort itself out - if you're recording the vector as
it's drawn (brush mode), a quick stroke will yield less points than a
slow stroke - a slow stroke would yield a lot of clustered points which
will translate to a higher accumulation of 'paint' in the given area.

   A clever way to approach this would be to save the path 
  information as a vector, but to apply the airbrush effect 
 in a bitmap 
  along the path - this way you can assign different brushes 
 to the path 
  after it's been drawn, undo points etc.
 
 That sounds like a good idea - although you might have to 
 include time information too if you want to be able to make 
 the airbrush thicker when you move more slowly

Robb,

Just out of interest, how were you able to overcome the ntdll.dll issue
that
is common with zinc? I used to love using zinc but as far as I know they
still haven't come up with a proper working solution for the problem.

I had the horrible experience of sending a product to manufacturing
(luckily
a short run of 2000) and then getting a constant stream of complaints
from
users who were unable to use it on win2k and a few other OS's.

Heya All,

Apparently Northcode are working on an update to make the system work
with
Vista, from memory there is something in the forum about it. 

mProjector (www.screentime.com) does apparently work fine with Vista,
although they do not appear to have done a full and complete test as yet
(they just haven't had any problems reported). 

I am in the same boat as you. I use SWF Studio but I have to have a
working
version for Vista before I can publish, so the present situation is very
frustrating.

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

I don't want it to display custom stuff (I can do that), I want it to

RE: [Flashcoders] ColorMatrix

2007-02-28 Thread Holth, Daniel C.

Hi Misa,

My EasyTween class has functionality to tween color tints the way you're
wanting.

A description of use is found here:
http://blog.dcholth.com/2007/02/23/easytween-explained/

And you can download the EasyTween.as file here:
http://blog.dcholth.com/downloads/

The only problem with tweening colors, is you may notice it tweens
through what looks like random colors before it gets to the one you
want.  This will depend on which color your tweening to and from because
its actually tweening the individual hex values of the color.  Tweening
from the original tint (which is none) of the MovieClip shouldn't have
this problem and should go right to the color you want.

If you end up using it, please let me know your thoughts on it, as
you'll probably be the first person to use it besides me :)

Hope it helps!

Re: [Flashcoders] path/attachMovie problem

2007-02-28 Thread Chris Bowley

Hi

In order to reference movieclips using an index you would need to  
keep them in an array. Alternatively if you don't need to reference  
them by name, you can use the return value of attachMovie() to keep a  
reference:


for () {
...

var mc:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie(butTemp,but+i,i+50);
mc.id=i;
mc.but_txt.text = songname[i];
mc.band_txt.text = songband[i];
mc.info.contentMain.info_txt.text = songinfo[i];
mc.rotate.aside.loadMovie(aside[i],1);

...
}

This works no matter where you attach the movieclip as 'mc' is a  
reference to it.

 pseudo-code of how to do this?

Depends how you want to do it, but the simplest is to work with a spline.
One method is to take one brush point every few moments and turn this path
into a Catmull-Rom spline. Then you can draw as many points along the spline
as you like. A quick guide to catmull rom splines is here:
http://www.mvps.org/directx/articles/catmull/, but in essence:

function catmullPoint (p0, p1, p2, p3, t) {
 // where p0 to p3 are points, and t is the fraction of the distance between
p1 and p2
return 0.5 * (2*p1 + t*(p2 - p0) + t*t*(2*p0 - 5*p1 + 4*p2 - p3) +
t*t*t*(-p0 + 3*p1 - 3*p2 + p3))
}

So if you have a list of points p0, p1, ... , pN, then you can draw as many
points along the spline as you like.

Flash uses quadratic bezier curves in the drawing API and cubic beziers in
the actual application - a cubic bezier and a Catmull-Rom spline are
essentially the same thing but with different parameterizations.

Friends of Ed's Object Oriented Actionscript is great.  Moock's AS2 is
good too.

Hi,
  Can anyone recommend a good book to teach designers who 
know a bit of AS1 scripting up to speed with AS2? I've been 
asked for a recommendation and it's been so long since I 
bought a book (or was scripting AS1!), I'm at a loss to pick 
out one from the myriad that a Google search brings up.

Cheers,
   Ian

Thanks Jason,
  I've got Moock's book, and having had a quick skim, I think it's
too advanced for the person in question who's only ever done very
basic scripting; I was looking for something simpler. Would the FoE
book suit, do you think?

Cheers,
  Ian

Re: [Flashcoders] simulating airbrush + calligraphy brush

2007-02-28 Thread Guntur N. Sarwohadi

yeah.. i usually just use lineTo in a loop while the mouse is pressed.. no
curveTo as i thought it's unnecessary.

so I just need to place the bitmaps after the lineTo? is that all? if I need
to stretch the bitmap, say from the last point to the current, is that
possible? or by just placing the bitmaps per point will suffice?

  apply the airbrush effect in a bitmap along the path - this way you
  can assign different brushes to the path after it's been
 drawn, undo
  points etc.


 mmm.. love the idea... but, what do you mean by placing
 bitmaps along a path? did you mean it will also stretch or
 just show for every vertex of the path? can you give me
 pseudo-code of how to do this?

Depends how you want to do it, but the simplest is to work with a spline.
One method is to take one brush point every few moments and turn this path
into a Catmull-Rom spline. Then you can draw as many points along the
spline
as you like. A quick guide to catmull rom splines is here:
http://www.mvps.org/directx/articles/catmull/, but in essence:

function catmullPoint (p0, p1, p2, p3, t) {
// where p0 to p3 are points, and t is the fraction of the distance
between
p1 and p2
return 0.5 * (2*p1 + t*(p2 - p0) + t*t*(2*p0 - 5*p1 + 4*p2 - p3) +
t*t*t*(-p0 + 3*p1 - 3*p2 + p3))
}

So if you have a list of points p0, p1, ... , pN, then you can draw as
many
points along the spline as you like.

Flash uses quadratic bezier curves in the drawing API and cubic beziers in
the actual application - a cubic bezier and a Catmull-Rom spline are
essentially the same thing but with different parameterizations.

RE: [Flashcoders] simulating airbrush + calligraphy brush

2007-02-28 Thread Mike Mountain
Just want to be clear - you're not placing bitmaps - but writing bitmap
data, so once the line is drawn (you'd represent it somehow as a vector
preview) you create some bitmapData which encompasses the line and brush
width, then you'd copy from your brush bitmap into the new bitmap along
the length of the spline.

Using this technique you could vary things like scatter, velocity,
wetness, pressure etc according to how fast the stroke was brushed.

Yes - the Friends of Ed book is probably better, but if you don't have a

I have found the OOP aspects of AS2 learnable only by repeated
experience - experimenting, trying again, reading, trying some more,
etc.  The syntax of AS2 is the easy part - the design pattern is what
takes time to learn.  Focus on the syntax of AS2 (class strucutre,
public/private/static, typecasting) and then the actual implementation
of practical use just takes practice.

Thanks Jason,
   I've got Moock's book, and having had a quick skim, I 
think it's too advanced for the person in question who's only 
ever done very basic scripting; I was looking for something 
simpler. Would the FoE book suit, do you think?

Cheers,

Re: [Flashcoders] Subscription problems

2007-02-28 Thread Muzak
I think we're all aware by now that the list has problems.
I'm sure Dave is looking into the matter and the list will be fixed at some 
point.

Sending me too or unsubscribe me messages is not gonna speed up the fixing 
process.

Instead of whining about it you could simply look into setting up a filter for 
your mail client.
I've already posted some url's that explain how to do that if you don't know 
how to..
And there's always google..

I myself (and I'm sure many others) am subscibed to about 20 mailing lists and 
I receive about 30 to 4 emails a month.
None of those end up in my inbox.

Each mail from this list has [Flashcoders] in the subject line.
All you have to do is set up a filter for that and have the mail sent to a 
seperate folder or whatever else you wanna do with it 
(block, delete, leave on server, etc..).

regards,
Muzak

[Flashcoders] CellRenderer, Datagrid component updating

2007-02-28 Thread Merrill, Jason
I have the followinng setup:

comboBoxA, a dataGrid, and a cellrenderer in the datagrid which renders
comboboxB in each cell.  ComboboxA switches the dataprovider for the
datagrid, thus changing the datagrid.

It's all working fine, except that I cannot seem to get the comboBox
within the datagrid to change it's selected index according to the value
in the new dataProvider in the datagrid.  I have followed the Adobe
script examples for (their ComboBoxCell.as file), but the combobox's
selectedIndex in the cell remains the same even though the dataprovider
changes.

It does however work fine for other cellRenderers in the datagrid, like
some textInputs.  

I would ask the question first before posting a lot of code  - anyone
have any ideas?

hmmm... nice.. very nice.. but not exactly what i want to achieve.. it
seems it has a lag due to the 'calculating stuff to bitmaps'.. i need to be

if that's my case, placing bitmaps while dragging will suffice, no?

Re: [Flashcoders] Subscription problems

2007-02-28 Thread Ron Wheeler
Put a filter in your e-mail client to dump all of the Flashcoders e-mail 
into a separate folder and one a month delete the contents until you can 
unsubscribe.
I subscribe to quite a few lists and everything gets sorted on its way 
in so that I can deal with each list in its turn.


If your e-mail does not support filters, get Thunderbird.

No one wants to pause the list for a few people who are having trouble 
organizing their incoming e-mail.
This list is the lifeblood of anyone serious about coding in 
ActionScript (unless you would like to answer all of the questions while 
the list is paused)

Re: [Flashcoders] path/attachMovie problem

2007-02-28 Thread hervé hubert

thanks alot!
I think this will help..

Le 28 févr. 07 à 16:46, Chris Bowley a écrit :

Hi

In order to reference movieclips using an index you would need to  
keep them in an array. Alternatively if you don't need to reference  
them by name, you can use the return value of attachMovie() to keep a  
reference:


for () {
...

var mc:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie(butTemp,but+i,i+50);
mc.id=i;
mc.but_txt.text = songname[i];
mc.band_txt.text = songband[i];
mc.info.contentMain.info_txt.text = songinfo[i];
mc.rotate.aside.loadMovie(aside[i],1);

...
}

This works no matter where you attach the movieclip as 'mc' is a  
reference to it.

[Flashcoders] Editing .as files with vim editor (non-english chars broken)

2007-02-28 Thread Alexander Farber

Hello,

is anybody using the Vim editor on Windows for editing
ActionsScript files?

My problem is that the cyrillic letters which are being displayed
ok by Macromedia Flash IDE appear broken in Vim 7.0.

The russian text is displayed twice as long as it should be and
there are repeatable P and C characters - which is what
I often see in other programs, which mistake Unicode text by
the Windows-1251 text.

Has anybody found a solution there?

Regards
Alex

RE: [Flashcoders] Skewing MovieClip??

2007-02-28 Thread Holth, Daniel C.

As far as I can figure, skewing isn't available in flash right now...

Adjusting the yScale will change the dimensions of a movieclip, for
example
(Hope my ASCII drawings work!)
 ___
|   |
|___|
Becomes
 _
| |
|_|
When you reduce the _yScale.

Skewing horizontally would be adjusting the x coordinates on the top of
the movieclip but leaving the ones on the bottom.  Skewing a square to
the right would result in this:
 ___
|   |
|___|
Becomes
   
  /   /
 /___/

Which I don't believe you would be able to do with a MovieClip.  You may
be able to achieve these results with drawing simple shapes or maybe
using some of the bitmap functionality, but that is way over my head.

Re: [Flashcoders] simulating airbrush + calligraphy brush

2007-02-28 Thread Mick G

If you want to simulate a painting application you have to be mindful of how
artists work. You WILL have ten of thousands of strokes being generated
which will at some point (depending on the users system) slow down the flash
player.
Many artists do lots of sketch style mouse actions where they may draw 500
tiny lines just to outline their drawing, and then another 5000 lines
filling in an area with shading and color.

Placing these thousands of bitmaps will slow things down more so than using
a more efficient method of modifying bitmap data.

[Flashcoders] Dragging a clip gives erratic ._x numbers

2007-02-28 Thread Paul Hoza

Heya folks,

This is baffling me (and making me very annoyed), and I haven't found an 
answer elsewhere, so here goes...


I have a main movie with a custom drag scrubber control.  At the core 
of my app (Flash 8 Pro) is this scrubber that needs to simply return its 
position so I can use it to display the proper frame of a movie clip 
(with many frames).


Problem is that dragging the scrubber in one direction very slowly will 
frequently get erratic and NOT just increase or decrease relevant to the 
drag direction.  Now, I originally thought it could be poor rounding 
math code on my part, but I finally put a text counter on the screen 
that simply displays the value of mcTheMovieClip._x which is the 
dragged clip.  Here's what I mean by erratic:


Dragging from left to right, ._x reports:
..101, 102, 101, 102, 103, 104, ..

What the friggin' poo??  What exactly causes a dragged movie clip to 
jump back/forth a pixel or two?  It's making an accurate, consistently 
one-directional drag behavior to be roughly impossible!


I'm miffed, but hopefully somebody has a clue on this and would be so 
kind as to throw down some helpful bits.


Thanks!
Paul Hoza

Re: [Flashcoders] Skewing MovieClip??

2007-02-28 Thread Snepo - Arse

Skewing isn't available but is possible.

In order to skew a clip (skewClip) the clip needs to be nested inside  
another movie clip (containerClip).


To skew - rotate both skewClip and containerClip in opposite  
directions and modify either the _xscale or _yscale of  
containerClip... the result s a skewed skewClip. I'm not certain of  
the math to make this readily usable but this technique should offer  
a start.

Re: [Flashcoders] simulating airbrush + calligraphy brush

2007-02-28 Thread Michael Hood
What about creating a function that acts as sort of a History (like the way 
Photoshop does) - only, in addition to recording each action the artist 
performs on his project, it also does the following:
The application creates a TEMP folder for each new project.
Inside each project folder, a log file (the Historical action archive) is 
created, which keeps the User's last X number of actions, which can be 
backed out of (undone), to some set limit (The Undo Threshold).
As the Undo Threshold is reached, the application fires off a Screen 
Capture of whatever is currently on the Canvas (stage, paper, background, or 
whatever) and stores it, along with the historical information, in the project 
folder. (the images could even be constantly replaced, as the threshold is 
reached, so it doesn't gobble up disk space) 
As the User continues to work, the History Log keeps track of every action that 
is taken.  Within a span of 100 actions, for example, 75 can actually be 
undone.  With every 20 - 25 actions taken, the application does an automatic 
Screen Capture. Once the Undo threshold is reached, the canvas (the 
bottom-most layer?) is [hopefully] inperceptively replaced with the Screen 
Capture (.jpeg image ? or whatever's clever) from a hundred moves back.  
Did that make any sense???  Hey, what do you want for a 10-minute [possible] 
solution?! :-P .

 If you want to simulate a painting application you have to be mindful of how
 artists work. You WILL have ten of thousands of strokes being generated
 which will at some point (depending on the users system) slow down the flash
 player.
 Many artists do lots of sketch style mouse actions where they may draw 500
 tiny lines just to outline their drawing, and then another 5000 lines
 filling in an area with shading and color.

 Placing these thousands of bitmaps will slow things down more so than using
 a more efficient method of modifying bitmap data.

RE: [Flashcoders] Right Click disabling

Hi Andy,

This will drive you wild until you're living with the lions in Africa.  Save
yourself.  It's not possible especially in a .swf.  They removed that
possibility in flash 5 or 6.

I even tried putting in in a C# windows application with complicated
scripting to toggle a layer above it and faking mouse events that I wanted
to send.  I found you can't send fake events to flash.  You would need
access to the unmanaged code area (for other readers).  It's especially not
possible with a swf or an application unless that application is a Zinc app
or if you shell out some big moolah to Adobe for a special license (but
won't work for a swf either).

Come back, Andy, come back into the light...it's not worth it really.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dragging a clip gives erratic ._x numbers

2007-02-28 Thread David Cohn

Paul,

I know it's no help, but I recently ran into this also and never  
found a workaround...


I'd love to know if you find one!

--Dave





Heya folks,

This is baffling me (and making me very annoyed), and I haven't  
found an

answer elsewhere, so here goes...

I have a main movie with a custom drag scrubber control.  At the  
core
of my app (Flash 8 Pro) is this scrubber that needs to simply  
return its

position so I can use it to display the proper frame of a movie clip
(with many frames).

Problem is that dragging the scrubber in one direction very slowly  
will
frequently get erratic and NOT just increase or decrease relevant  
to the

drag direction.  Now, I originally thought it could be poor rounding
math code on my part, but I finally put a text counter on the screen
that simply displays the value of mcTheMovieClip._x which is the
dragged clip.  Here's what I mean by erratic:

Dragging from left to right, ._x reports:
..101, 102, 101, 102, 103, 104, ..

What the friggin' poo??  What exactly causes a dragged movie clip to
jump back/forth a pixel or two?  It's making an accurate, consistently
one-directional drag behavior to be roughly impossible!

I'm miffed, but hopefully somebody has a clue on this and would be so
kind as to throw down some helpful bits.

Thanks!

[Flashcoders] Flash 9 AS3 Resource Management

2007-02-28 Thread Kalani Bright
Hi everyone,
 
Does anyone have some tips or tutorials on how to handle resources and
performance issues in flash.
 
I have more of an application than a flash file and things start to slow
down after a while.  I'm thinking the garbage collection mechanism in flash
isn't deleting the objects which aren't needed anymore.
I was able to improve performance somewhat by overriding addEventListener to
put the event listener into an array of objects which I then reference
values from.  When a SuperMovieClip object is removed from the stage an
event listener for that event goes through the array and removes each of the
listeners.  If it is added to the stage again all the listeners are re-added
from the array.
 
Theres some other slow downs I can't account for.  It would be nice if there
was a debugging tool or something so I could see what types of objects are
in memory at any time so I can see whats not getting deleted and what keeps
taking up resources.  I am especially interested in however strategies for
dealing with the issues of instantiation, deletion, events, for resource
optimization.
 
Thank you, thank you, (thank you)
 
Kalani

Re: [Flashcoders] Dragging a clip gives erratic ._x numbers

2007-02-28 Thread Mick G

Perhaps it's doing some rounding because your mouse is sitting on half
pixels and it's not noticeable to the eye (if that's even possible).  Have
you tried putting a Math.ceil around the _x values to see if it helps always
round the value up?

[Flashcoders] Flash 9 Full Screen Mode - Mac Player bugs?

2007-02-28 Thread Dan Rogers

Yo Flashcoders,

I am attempting to use the fullscreen feature in the Flash 9 player  
(Stage[displayState]), while keeping my publish version set to v8.   
Everything seems to work fine, but when I use the feature on Safari  
for the Mac, some of my button methods aren't working properly-   
namely onRollOver.   Has anyone else ran into this issue?


Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

MyScrollPane.setScrollContent(MyText); // Doesn't work
MyScrollPane.ScrollContent(MyText); //Doesn't work
MyScrollPane.ScrollContent = MyText; // Doesn't work

Re: [Flashcoders] Right Click disabling

2007-02-28 Thread Cortlandt Winters

Hi Andy,

Actually there is a way, though I think it's a metaphysical law that
somebody has to say it's impossible before an answer appears.

I had to do this so that folk could copy paste with ctrl-c ctrl-v and have
the text modified before put in atext field but not allow a
right-click-paste into the text field that could mess up the rich text
properties otherwise.

I only did it for one textfield, though I don't see any reason why you
wouldn't be able to apply the same idea everywhere.

The basic idea is that you create a custom right click menu and trap it's
onSelect event. When that event gets triggered, you create an editable
textfield and set the focus to it, since the object that received the event
no longer has focus, the right click menu goes away.

It was a while ago but I believe this was the snippet that did the trick.

public function onLoad() {
   var menu_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
   menu_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
   menu_cm.onSelect = function(item:Object,item_menu:Object){
   GhostObj.createTextField(Paste_txt, 1, 0, 0, 10, 20);
   GhostObj.Paste_txt.type = input;
   Selection.setFocus(eval(GhostObj.Paste_txt));
   }
   Capture_txt.menu = menu_cm;
...

Let me know if it works for you,

-Cort

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash 9 AS3 Resource Management

I'd be interested in tools for monitoring this too.

To avoid holding onto objects through addEventListener, have you tried the
weak reference option?  We've been using that increasingly as the default
way to add listeners, so objects don't hang around when we think we're
finished with them.

[Flashcoders] Getting frustrated. regarding set Interval, and for loop.

2007-02-28 Thread Paul V.
Let me explain the problem I am having and then I will send you some code.  I 
want to load up images in a slide show with set interval, with the images being 
called image1 image2 image 3 etc.  I want to be coding a dynamic slide show so 
that if I change the images I can just replace the mc images.

here is the code I am working on, I am a little new to setInterval (completely 
new to that function actually) - I do understand the basic syntax, 
setInterval( function (){ //entire function here;},1000);

But I don't know how to run a for loop inside it and pass a variable to it. (I 
am a newbie).

function loadImages(){//Ihave this here so I can run an external for 
loop.
 for(i=1;i6;i++){
  setInterval(function(){ //set interval and begins anonymous function  
i.e function() -no name   
  attachMovie(image+i,image+i,41);   //trying to attach the images, 
image1 - image5
  image = eval(image+i);//instance assigned to 
variable  'image'
  image._x = ((Stage.width / 2)-(image._width/2));   //positioning
  image._y = (yFactor);//positioning
  oldwidth = image._width;   //saving 
dimensions for resizing formula
  oldheight = image._height;//saving 
dimensions for resizing formula
 
  image._height = yheight; //image height 
set to variable  
  image._width = ((oldwidth*yheight)/oldheight);   //image width set to 
proportions of original 
},1000);   
//interval to 1 sec. 1000 milliseconds 
 }//end 
for loop
}   //end container 
function 

I am trying to set the images up for a second and then have them switch.
Help me out if you you know a solution.  Or even if you see some obvious 
errors. Like I said I am new with the set interval.  by the way if you like 
that little resizing technique, you can use it. Thank you.

Looking forward to a response on this one.

Hi everyone,
 
Does anyone have some tips or tutorials on how to handle resources and

performance issues in flash.
 
I have more of an application than a flash file and things start to slow

down after a while.  I'm thinking the garbage collection mechanism in flash
isn't deleting the objects which aren't needed anymore.
I was able to improve performance somewhat by overriding addEventListener to
put the event listener into an array of objects which I then reference
values from.  When a SuperMovieClip object is removed from the stage an
event listener for that event goes through the array and removes each of the
listeners.  If it is added to the stage again all the listeners are re-added
from the array.
 
Theres some other slow downs I can't account for.  It would be nice if there

was a debugging tool or something so I could see what types of objects are
in memory at any time so I can see whats not getting deleted and what keeps
taking up resources.  I am especially interested in however strategies for
dealing with the issues of instantiation, deletion, events, for resource
optimization.
 
Thank you, thank you, (thank you)
 
Kalani
