If you have an ounce of artist in you please avoid Flex. I would disagree with this entirely. Flex frees up an artist to focus on the areas they want to work with.

Also check out my blog entry on the subject - http://blog.neo-archaic.net/2006/08/02/nocache-for-javascript-and-flash.htm The Flash IDE doesn't like the cache-busters so you need to test System.capabilities.playerType before appending the query.

I've read that appending a random query string ( example : new Date.getTime() ) to the URL of assets (images, sounds, XML files, etc.) loaded at runtime in the Flash Player ensures that these assets are always loaded from the server instead of being loaded from the cache. I've tested this on Windows XP in IE5, IE5.5, IE6, FF1, FF1.5, FF2, Opera 8, Opera 8.5, Opera 9, Netscape 7 and Netscape 8 and it seems to work very well. However, I haven't been able to test this on a Mac or on Linux. Is this method bulletproof (it works in all browsers on all operating systems)?

[Flashcoders] Re: [AS3] Timers behaving erratically
Hi,
Best practices say that when done with an event listener, it should be
removed. If you're not removing it (them) anywhere else, you should
remove it with your destroy function. This is also an excellent time
to kill any streams, stop sounds, stop timers, etc. In fact, it's
recommended that your AS3 scripts do clean up things like this. In AS3,
removing items from the display list doesn't destroy the objects like it
did in AS2.
I try to include the following in any movie clip that is loaded:
---
function unloadHandler(event:Event):void {
/*
in here clean things up such as
* null out any references to loaded content
var myVar = myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.someVar
= myVar = null;
* unload any swf's that were loaded so they can also clean up on
unload
* stop any sounds from playing
this might mean SoundMixer.stopAll();
or it might mean stopping a moiveclip (like with a .mov
on it)
* close any LocalConnections, NetConnections, NetStreams
* return any global properties to their default
* null out any Camera or Microphones
* removeEventListener for any that weren't by their natural flow
* clearIntervals
* stop any Timers
*/
root.loaderInfo.removeEventListener(unload, unloadHandler);
}
root.loaderInfo.addEventListener(unload, unloadHandler);
---
This could be adapted for classes that are instantiated.

Actually, nowhere in the application they aren't firing.

var snapshot:Bitmap = takeSnapshot();

[Flashcoders] AS3 parseFloat issue?
Hi guys, I've been writing some code that evaluates operations from strings, and when doing some stress testing, I think I may have discovered a problem. Those who are interested in helping me verify the problem can run this test in actionscript 2.0 and again in actionscript 3.0. var a:String = 6.30e+51; var b:String = 23; var c:Number = parseFloat(a)%parseFloat(b); trace(c); //outputs 7 in as3, and 18 in as2 trace(6.30e+51%23); // outputs 18 in both as2 and 3 Here is the test I ran in Java, just to confirm: String a = 6.30e+51; String b = 23; double c = Double.parseDouble (a)%Double.parseDouble(b); System.out.println(c); //18 System.out.println(6.30e+51%23); //18 Clearly, the answer to this problem is 18, but as3 calculates 7 after parsing the large number. I feel reluctant to draw any wild conclusions, I mean, I have no idea what the problem could be. Anyone have any clue? Is this an issue or am I missing something?

[Flashcoders] Number -- how good for use as an integer?
Can someone clarify whether Number is actually just a simple wrapper round a double precision floating point value? The reason I'm asking is I'd like to know how accurately Flash can store integers. With AS3 there's a true int type added but in AS2 how reliable is Number at storing and retrieving integer values? The problem here, of course, is that a floating point value can't exactly represent integers (you get a lot of 1025.01 values instead of 1025). Is this a problem with Flash? If so, any solutions?

Douglas Pearson wrote: Can someone clarify whether Number is actually just a simple wrapper round a double precision floating point value? Is this a problem with Flash? If so, any solutions? Internally, it's a 32-bit single precision float and doesn't play well if you need arbitrary precision integer manipulations. You can see the link that Mick recommended for a longer discussion of this from Adobe. This is a fairly common problem across many programming languages. As such, most developers needing such functionality (e.g. for financial, scientific or cryptographic usages) resort to libraries providing for arbitrary precision integer storage and operations. While I don't know of any ActionScript specific libraries for this, there are several that have been written for Javascript and shouldn't be too difficult to port if you're so inclined.

Make sure you escape your data, since SWFObject doesn't do this automatically:

return escape(element.innerHTML.toString());

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3... when to start?
Note: Sorry about the funky formatting. Muzak wrote: Hi Micky, see inline reply. Hi Muzak, ditto. :) I just picked-up Actionscript 3.0 Cookbook (O'Reilly) today, and found myself pondering this: Is it time to make the switch from v2 to v3 AS? That (as always) depends on your goal (project). If you're into RIA's, Flex+AS3 is probably better suited for the job. Ah, yes... I am definitely not a guru -- mostly use flash to enhance non-crucial aspects of websites and/or for adverts/videos/small animations -- basic stuff. But, AS3 looks like a step in right direction, and I am excited to start learning the ins-and-outs... I am hoping I can figure-out some small 1-man projects that will get me learning the new version of code. What happened to coding in Flash? Am I waiting for the next version of Flash until I can successfully and/or easily write AS3 via the Flash application? I think the above answer applies here as well. Sounds good/makes sense. :) Will the future of Flash AS always require the Flex Builder? Or, is Flex Builder just one out of many/few code editors for compiling the new AS3 code? Flex Builder is just another AS editor. It just happens to be ahead of the Flash IDE when it comes to AS-version. AS3 for the Flash IDE is currently only available through the AS3 alpha preview (http://labs.adobe.com) Ahhh, I see. Thanks for clarification. :) Gonna install Flex Builder tonight (assume it is free)... Looking forward to coding inside of it. If I only want to animate some objects around the stage programatically (for something like a website header), should I just make the switch to AS3 (if player versions were not an issue), or is AS2 still an acceptable way of producing small action-scripted movies? I see no reason why you'd switch to AS3 for this kind of work. Ah, seems like the consensus... Although, I hope I can find a way/project that will get me started on learning the new syntax. Links? Blog posts? Articles? Am I over-complicating things? What kind of links/articles are you looking for? http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flash9as3preview/ http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/ http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/ http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/ http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mxna/ Looks like a great list of links! Thanks for sharing. As for over-complicating things, I'd say, yes ;-) Hehe, I can see that now. Lol. ;) Flex/Flex Builder was made because Flash (as a technology) has become more and more powerful and more and more programmers with all kinds of backgrounds (Java, .NET, etc..) started using it (or wanted to) but found the Flash IDE lacking, especially compared to other tools available for other languages. I can see that. As a noob myself, I can think of a few dislikes when it comes to using Flash for coding. So Flex/Flex Builder is not here to replace the Flash IDE, but (finally) gives those that are more into the programming side of things a powerful and robust tool that they're probably already comfortable with, since it's based on Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org) Never used Eclipse, but I think I have heard good things. I like the thought of having two apps -- one for coding, other for graphics. older articles explaining Flex + AS3 http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flex2_flash.html http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex2_intro.html Excellent! I am glad I asked the list -- you guys/gals have been very helpful -- many many thanks to you all. :D I think the following quote (from Nigel Pegg) sums it all up: We Call This 'The Timeline.'

I am not sure whether it is a bug or by design, though. var test0_str:String = 6.30e+51; var n0:Number = parseFloat(test0_str); trace(n0); trace(n0 == (6.30e+51)); trace(n0-(6.30e+51)); // ActionScript 3.0 6.30e+51 false 1.32922799578491e+36 // ActionScrpt 2.0 6.3e+51 true 0 Decrease one digit: var test1_str:String = 6.3e+51; var n1:Number = parseFloat(test1_str); trace(n1 == (6.3e+51)); trace(n1-(6.3e+51)); // ActionScript 3.0 true 0 _ elibol wrote: Those who are interested in helping me verify the problem can run this test in actionscript 2.0 and again in actionscript 3.0. var a:String = 6.30e+51; var b:String = 23; var c:Number = parseFloat(a)%parseFloat(b); trace(c); //outputs 7 in as3, and 18 in as2 trace(6.30e+51%23); // outputs 18 in both as2 and 3 Good luck, -- Fumio Nonaka mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FumioNonaka.com/ My bookshttp://www.FumioNonaka.com/Books/index.html Flash communityhttp://F-site.org/ ___ 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
