RE: [Flashcoders] Need help problem with sound object
I believe this had something to do with the scope of the sound object. E.g. If you define _root(_level0) as target of the sound, all object at that level are controlled if you change parameters. If you want to be able to specifically control 1 sound object, I believe you had to give it it's own target (movieclip). var mc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(Test, 100); Var o:Sound = new Sound(mc); ... o.stop(); Good luck, Ben -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of creativity Sent: donderdag 8 maart 2007 8:39 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Need help problem with sound object Hi, i have used sound object at level 0 which is controlled by a button to stop and play.

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help problem with sound object
When creating a sound object, you should give a movieclip as it parameter var snd:Sound = new Sound(movieclipReference) By not assigning a movieclip, you acces the global sound.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mouse event handlers
They do but not as expected. The onDragOver only triggers when the mouse
starts on the mc then travels off then back on the same mc again. I need to
register something like this:
isMouseDown onMouseRollOver { toggleMCStatus() }
I can set a flag on the mouseDown event, I just cant read anything that
happens between the mouse entering the new MC and before it leaves.
I remember seeing something years ago that did this, but cant find it
anywhere.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mouse event handlers
in such case, I opt for
onPress and onRelease
onPress: start onMouseMove listener
onRelease: stop on MouseMove listener
then
onMouseMove = function () {
your code here ... (like hitTest ...)
}
quite abstract, but if you paste some code, I may be able to
interpret my idea :S

cant you check for onMouseDown and then while its down, do a

[Flashcoders] Flash training suggestions
Resending as this bounced the first time I tried (so if you already saw this, sorry!): I'm looking for some suggestions on Flash training classes. My Flash devel knowledge is in a somewhat interesting state in that I know the basics and some advanced parts of AS2 programming, but don't really know much at all about using Flash itself (timeline, creating UI objects in the FLA, etc). I've found a few training courses that I could go to, but the ones that look useful to me (the more advanced programming ones) have prereqs of the simpler classes, where most of the material is stuff I already know, with just a few things that I don't. For instance, this class: http://www.trainsimple.com/courses/advanceddesign.html has a lot of things I'd like to learn (Tween, extending MovieClip) but has prereqs requiring both basic AS knowledge which I have and basic Flash design stuff (Rich Content Creation), which I don't have. I don't know if I'd be able to get the company to have me take more than one training course in the near term, and for what I'm doing the advanced class would be much more useful, but I'm not sure if I would have trouble in it due to not knowing the design stuff. Has anyone here been in a similar situation and found training that was helpful without duplicating a lot of what you already knew? Does anyone have any suggestions on training courses that would be good, or even just training companies that people have found to be good?

Hi all, I have just released a com.gousable.SWF_Protector class written for one of latest projects: http://gousable.com/flash/classes/swf_protector_v1.0.zip DESCRIPTION: Provides several ways to protect SWF files that can be used in any combination 1) Good old checking the _url protection 2) Loading external text file (url-encoded) from your server. Recommended for smart clients. Remember about crossdomain.xml file ! 3) Expire by time (like trial version) 4) Bytecode. If you have some good __bytecode__() at hand that will (as you think) crash decompilers, place it in a frame in some clip in library and attach at runtime. If the violation is detected, you can 1) Unload _root leaving the screen blank 2) Show an alert message telling them ... something 3) Call your own action after checking the *isViolated* flag property. This code-only version is intended for programmers. If you prefer, you can use SWC component version with UI (free as well) that will be available from Adobe Flash Exchange since April, 2007. -- -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash training suggestions
Hi, I really don't think you need to worry too much about this. A someone who is actually a trainer for these courses I'd say that if you can do very basic things such as converting items to a symbol, you know a bit about the timeline, frame labels, etc. you'll be absolutely fine on this course. The important thing is that you would need to have some basic action scripting knowledge. Have a look at the Flash 8 Actionscript course outline, if you know that stuff, sign up for the Advanced Design course.

Hi Flashcoders, Is there anything out there already perhaps, that simply does convert a price (a Number), into a currency-formatted string? prettyNumber(1.25, $...) well yeah, you know what I am after.. I want it to be able to work in many markets, so there is a need to be able to control whether the currency-symbol should be before the price or after, eventual spacing, decimals/commas and such.

I need to mimic the Flash IDE static text tool. Not the placement of where the text field will go but the way the box expands when you type, to a limit, and the way it expands down when you hit return.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash training suggestions
Actionscripting knowledge is about all I do have. I've been working on a fairly complex Flash application for the past 6 months or so (our Flash developer quit and it landed on me), so I've picked up a lot of the programming stuff, but the design stuff like timeline and such I don't really know much about. One other thing I forgot to mention is that I'm also looking at possibly doing FMS training. However, the FMS application development training courses all have prereqs of the FMS Video course, but I'm not doing any Video related stuff with FMS so that course wouldn't really be relevant, though I'm worried that I might have trouble with the FMS course if I didn't take it. Any suggestions there? -Andy On 3/8/07, Kevin Bowers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I really don't think you need to worry too much about this. A someone who is actually a trainer for these courses I'd say that if you can do very basic things such as converting items to a symbol, you know a bit about the timeline, frame labels, etc. you'll be absolutely fine on this course. The important thing is that you would need to have some basic action scripting knowledge. Have a look at the Flash 8 Actionscript course outline, if you know that stuff, sign up for the Advanced Design course.

My Flash devel knowledge is in a somewhat interesting state in that I know the basics and some advanced parts of AS2 programming, but don't really know much at all about using Flash itself (timeline, creating UI objects in the FLA, etc). I've found a few training courses that I could go to, but the ones that look useful to me (the more advanced programming ones) have prereqs of the simpler classes, where most of the material is stuff I already know, with just a few things that I don't. For instance, this class: http://www.trainsimple.com/courses/advanceddesign.html has a lot of things I'd like to learn (Tween, extending MovieClip) but has prereqs requiring both basic AS knowledge which I have and basic Flash design stuff (Rich Content Creation), which I don't have. I don't know if I'd be able to get the company to have me take more than one training course in the near term, and for what I'm doing the advanced class would be much more useful, but I'm not sure if I would have trouble in it due to not knowing the design stuff. Has anyone here been in a similar situation and found training that was helpful without duplicating a lot of what you already knew? Does anyone have any suggestions on training courses that would be good, or even just training companies that people have found to be good?

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons
Hi Wendy, It sounds like you're asking a bunch of questions, without realising it. I would break the problem down something like this: 1. Create a video (non-flash) 2. Convert video to flv (non-code) 3. Upload video to web server (non-flash, maybe non-code) 4. Create xml to describe which videos are available (non-flash, maybe non-code) 5. Flash application loads xml from server, and parses it 6. Flash application creates buttons for videos, depending on what's in the xml On this list, it's probably best to stick with #s 56, as 1-4 are really not topical. So let's assume that you've got your videos already uploaded to your server, and an xml file describing where they are. For #5, you'll need to create an XML object in your code. Here's a link to a tutorial on how to do that: http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/9/1/XML-101/Page1.html For the buttons (#6), you'll need to have a button movieclip in your library. It could be as simple as a movieclip with a shape and a textfield. In the library, you'll also want to give the button movieclip a linkage Id, (right-click on the item in the library, select Linkage). Once that's done, you can attach the movieclip to the stage in code by using the attachMovie function. Here's a wee tutorial about that: http://flash-creations.com/notes/dynamic_attachmovie.php Basically, what you need to do is to load the xml into an XML object, then loop through the values in the xml, using attachMovie to drop a new button on the stage for each video in the xml. I think that should get you started. Hope that helps..

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash / Flex specific search engine
Ok, well I suppose that I should clarify some of the concepts behind the design. First, typically when I do a general search on Google, it's usually for something that's syntax related -- essentially, I use Google to search livedocs. Unfortunately, Google tends to return results for the wrong version of the product that I'm searching for. Hence, we have restricted the google search to only return results from the latest version of the docs for any given product. In this case, it's the Flex 2.01 livedocs. If the problem that I have is more use-case related, I'd turn to the developer community -- see what people have blogged about the issue. That's why there's a blogs/sites tab on the search...so you can toggle between the official livedocs results and the unofficial (although quite useful) blog results. In terms of displaying # of results -- we're working on that, but there are some limitations in the Google AJAX API that are a bit restrictive. The main difference between this site and google is that we have full control over the sources of information being searched, so we can separate the wheat from the chaff as it were. For instance, it ONLY searches livedocs Flash 8 (vs old versions of livedocs) and it ONLY searches specific blogs which we have found to contain valuable information. The key to this working is COMMUNITY SUPPORT. While we've added about a dozen url's for it to return results in the blog/site search, we need EVERYONE'S support to suggest the top sites where they've found useful information about Flash Flex. That's why there's a suggest a url function at the bottom of the page.

I use simple preloader
function loadNewPart(part){
host._visible=false;
this.attachMovie(preloader, preloader, 999, preloaderPos);
host.loadMovie(part);
this.onEnterFrame=function() {
var tLoaded, tBytes;
tLoaded = this.host.getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = this.host.getBytesTotal();
if (isNaN(tBytes) || tBytes 4) {
return;
}
if (tLoaded / tBytes = 1) {
this.host.stop();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.preloader.removeMovieClip();
_root.showNewPart();
} else {
this.host.stop();
var percentLoaded = (tLoaded /tBytes);
this.preloader.preloadBar._width = this.preloader.preloadBarBG._width *
percentLoaded;
}
}
}
but tLoaded always = tBytes and preloader bar does not works. Swf loads
without preloadbar just on blank screen. Because the first check (if
(tLoaded / tBytes = 1) is always true. How it can be possible? I am trying
to find a reason for some hours and can not. Any idea?

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons
Hey Francis, Thank you very much. Actually part of #5, and 6 was my only- question! 1-4 is no problem. I must not have been clear as I was just trying to explain the circumstance of my question, sorry and =Thank You= for your kind response. I will investigate soon!! Best Regards, Wendy On 3/8/07 12:16 PM, Francis Chary [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Wendy, It sounds like you're asking a bunch of questions, without realising it. I would break the problem down something like this: 1. Create a video (non-flash) 2. Convert video to flv (non-code) 3. Upload video to web server (non-flash, maybe non-code) 4. Create xml to describe which videos are available (non-flash, maybe non-code) 5. Flash application loads xml from server, and parses it 6. Flash application creates buttons for videos, depending on what's in the xml On this list, it's probably best to stick with #s 56, as 1-4 are really not topical. So let's assume that you've got your videos already uploaded to your server, and an xml file describing where they are. For #5, you'll need to create an XML object in your code. Here's a link to a tutorial on how to do that: http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/9/1/XML-101/Page1.html For the buttons (#6), you'll need to have a button movieclip in your library. It could be as simple as a movieclip with a shape and a textfield. In the library, you'll also want to give the button movieclip a linkage Id, (right-click on the item in the library, select Linkage). Once that's done, you can attach the movieclip to the stage in code by using the attachMovie function. Here's a wee tutorial about that: http://flash-creations.com/notes/dynamic_attachmovie.php Basically, what you need to do is to load the xml into an XML object, then loop through the values in the xml, using attachMovie to drop a new button on the stage for each video in the xml. I think that should get you started. Hope that helps..

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons
Wendy, I think the trick is generating the xml dynamically on the server. There's not a good way for flash to know whether a file exists until it tries to load the file. Unless you want to update and upload the xml every time you update a video, then you'll want a server-side script to create a list of the flvs in the folder. And really, the list doesn't have to be xml. If you know whether your server is running asp or php or cgis or whatever, then you should be able to search the web for a script that will list all of the files in a folder. Once you have that, then you'll just show a button in flash for each entry in the list. Jason Hello list!

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons
There are plenty of ways to go about 5 6. You could set it up as an attribute within the XML node where if it sees a video attribute in the attributes property, then pop up a button that will point to your video (if that's what you're trying to do... or are you trying to pop up a button that plays a video - either way, the principle is somewhat the same). jord On 3/8/07, Wendy Marino [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Francis, Thank you very much.

Subject: [Flashcoders] stageHeight issues AS3
I've been having issues with trying to get stageHeight from every sprite.
Getting the
height is a hit or miss thing for me.
var _sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(_sprite)
trace (_sprite.stage.stageHeight)
give me null object reference... even after it's been added to the display.
And also why can't I just access it from any class that extends Sprite
like this:
this.stage.stageHeight or like super.stage.stageHeight;
What's confusing is I am doing this with no problem, but only successfully in
one place. I
just want every sprite i make to be able to access this property. I guess I'm
left
creating a global variable.

[Flashcoders] New Flash Captioning Component
WGBH has released a new component for captioning video in Flash. I've posted some info at: http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility/2007/03/new_captioning_in_flash_com pon.html Their info on it is at: http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/ccforflash/ They have a sample: http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/ccforflash/CCPlayerDemo.html The component is not the UI, it is the internals for parsing either QuickTime caption data files or DFXP data files. If you are interested in captioning Flash, you can also use Captionate (http://buraks.com/captionate/) in conjunction with the captioning skins that Adobe has made available (http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility/2006/10/captionskins.html). An example of the caption skins using Captionate FLV cuepoints: http://www.kingtut.org/about_the_exhibition (click on view video footage in the right column) Hope this helps and is of interest!

[Flashcoders] Updating old source
Hey all, I'm trying to update some old, old source FLA files which were last updated in Flash MX (the original development preceeded even that), and I'm having trouble with some of the files-- i.e. Flash crashes on opening them! The old source is on a Mac 10.2.8 system, and I need to get the files editable on Mac 10.4.8. I've tried: 1. copying the MX files from 10.2 and opening them with Flash 8 on 10.4 2. installing MX 2004 on 10.2, saving and compacting the files, copying and opening them with Flash 8 on 10.4 3. installing MX 2004 on 10.4, and opening the MX04 source with MX 2004 on 10.4 4. opening the MX source in MX 2004 on 10.4 In both cases, I updated MX04 to v7.2. In all cases, the same few files crash Flash (except #4, where the files wouldn't open at all). Anybody run into this, or have any ideas on how I can salvage the source?

Re: [Flashcoders] audio sampler and sequencer - possible?
Hi, Some people are doing some interesting experiments with AS3 and audio: http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tag/audio/ http://www.flashcodersbrighton.org/wordpress/?p=9 ...but AFAIK you cannot get hold of the sound buffer from a microphone input in Flash. You can route the Microphone to the PC speakers or record the sound directly to a media server such as FMS http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/ or Red5 http://osflash.org/red5 I found an interesting application a few months ago that you might like http://www.rockstargames.com/beaterator/ but it is a double edged sword as this is the only internet application ever to blue-screen my PC (I am running XP so I suffered a really annoying reboot). This is an audio synth that looks like it does the sound generation server side - again. You may not get nice sampling capabilities with Flash as is - a bit gutting really since Adobe seem to have figured out that we like to play with pixels, yet seem to have forgotten audio - surprising since they bought Cool Edit, IMHO the nicest software audio program on the block. I may be wrong, so if someone knows more then please enlighten us. Glen lemondrop wrote: Hi list, I'm trying to figure out whether Flash is the right tool for the job. Does anyone have any thoughts on the following? For my project, I need a web-based audio sampler and sequencer. It needs to play custom samples (i.e. not General MIDI sounds). I also need the ability to create sequences of notes and play them back with decent time accuracy. Ideally, I would be able to use a standard format such as Soundfont for the sounds (instead of, say, having to have many individual sound files, one for each pitch).

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons
Jason and Jordon, =Thank You= very much for your help and input! I really Appreciate it! I figured there was a way but just wanted to make sure. There is more than one way to get to Rome, I know! I will post as soon as I see which method works best for the situation (It's for a daily news broadcasts that will be posted on line). The server is running php and cold fusion and so I'll check that out. And Jordan, I figured this would be possible in an xml ( pop up a button that plays a video)...in a playeror points to it brining it into player. -both methods could work I guess so I'll see which will be best to implement. Thanks a lot again! Wendy : ) On 3/8/07 12:35 PM, Jason Rayles [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wendy, I think the trick is generating the xml dynamically on the server. There's not a good way for flash to know whether a file exists until it tries to load the file. Unless you want to update and upload the xml every time you update a video, then you'll want a server-side script to create a list of the flvs in the folder. And really, the list doesn't have to be xml. If you know whether your server is running asp or php or cgis or whatever, then you should be able to search the web for a script that will list all of the files in a folder. Once you have that, then you'll just show a button in flash for each entry in the list. Jason Hello list! Does anyone know the code to make -selectable dynamic video buttons- appear -only- if/when there is an .flv available to be called from in the xml code??? I¹m dealing with 3 to 5 videos that need to be removed and then replaced daily after rendering in final cut, exported to .flv¹s then put on web.

I am in the OReilly ActionScript book now TH and this is the first time it has ever failed me. I tried parseXML and TH sendAndLoad but I can't seem to write into the file. A Flash movie cannot write anything to a file, especially if it is located on a remote server (not mentioning that automatically saving changes to a file made on an object residing in the memory is totally pointless). If you want to save your XML, make your changes and send the whole XML back to a server-side program which can store it to a file. Or if you are on desktop, look after some third party projector creators providing file handling capabilities.

That's because Flash can't write any files, only read. You'll need a server side language to handle that for you (ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, etc..) or look into Remoting.

RE: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file
Sorry miss understood the question.
You won't be able to write back to the XML file located on the server
directly. You'll have to add a logic layer (ASP, PHP, C#, etc...) that you
can send the new XML data and have that layer update your XML file
(XMLConnector, WebServiceConnector, etc...)

[Flashcoders] Global functions
Hi,
I am trying to wrap the getURL function in order to track outgoing
links using Google analytics...
e.g.
function getURLTracked(url, window, method) {
getURL(url, window);
getURL(javascript:alert('+ url+'));
//getURL(javascript:urchinTracker('/app/ + url +'););
}
I would like to create a global function that is available to AS2
classes and the timeline
I have tried to write it in an external file and #include this file
in the constructor of my classes, but still don't get the function in
scope at compile time.
Apart from writing a method in my class, which I would have to
repeat for a few different classes, is there a way of making this
function available to the timeline and the AS2 classes in one foul swoop?
I have a core application and lots of loaded SWF's with nasty
timeline buttons to track...
Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] Global functions
a good way to do this would be to make a static class for your
tracking stuff.
then you can do things like:
StatsTracker.trackPage(url);
from any class or timeline (assuming you import the class first, etc.
etc.)
then you can use ExternalInterface to make the js call to your
tracking function.

a good way to do this would be to make a static class for your

then you can do things like:
StatsTracker.trackPage(url);
from any class or timeline (assuming you import the class first, etc.

then you can use ExternalInterface to make the js call to your

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons
Seeing as you mentioned ColdFusion (you didn't mention that one before :-) ), you can also use Flash Remoting to get the information to and from Flash. Where there's a back-end language, there will probably be a database involved and in there will probably be a field for video records. As for placing the video, you can play video almost anywhere, so putting it in a button is a definitely possibility. jord On Mar 8, 2007, at 4:48 PM, Wendy Marino wrote: I will post as soon as I see which method works best for the situation (It's for a daily news broadcasts that will be posted on line).

Re: [Flashcoders] Mouse event handlers
Yeah I had toyed with a similar idea, but dismissed it as a massive waste of
processing power to test every mc for a HitTest every time I trigger an
onMouseMove event. I also tried thinking how i could calculate nearest
neighbour and just test those, and then started looking for simpler
(built-in) ideas.
This is not a requested feature, it is just something i thought would be
cool and there would be a simple way to do it.

interpret my idea :S

cant you check for onMouseDown and then while its down, do a
hitTest on mcs?

Subject: [Flashcoders] Mouse event handlers
Hi all,
I have a grid of mc's arranged in a square. When you click on
any one of
the mc's the mc changes appearance (ie inactive to active,
active to
inactive) - pretty simple.
I am trying to create a group of handlers that detect if the
mouse is
held down and wiped across the other mc's. If it is, it
changes the
state of any mc's it rolls over.
Problem is, when the onPress handler is invoked, it seems to
ignore any
other handlers (onRollOver/onRollOut). I have tried combinations or
onMouseUp/Down and setting flags, but if I cant get the
onRollOver/Out
handlers firing, I cant seem to detect whether the mouse is over
the
next mc while the mouse is down.
This is getting frustrating - any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] I sorted my Subscription problems
I had similar problems - in my case my password had been reset, so I had to click Email my Password to Me. After I got this, my first step was to change the password back to the original one, but this somewhat failed - I could log in with my original password, but when I tried to make any changes, it asked for my password again, and this time the original password failed. Kristal - this my be the problem you had - I tried 3+ times and it always failed too. So I used the random reset password and it worked - all changes were accepts. So I had to change my password --again-- and this time it worked. So Dave - I think it is primarily a problem at the point when people click Submit My Changes - the server is re-authenticating the passord, but comparing it to the --old-- password. I hope this narrows it down for you. In the mean time, do this: 1. Go to http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders 2. Enter your email address then click on Email my Password to Me. 3. Login with your email address and the emailed password. 4. Turn on digest mode or disable Mail Delivery. Click Submit my Changes. 5.

Re: [Flashcoders] [Solved] FLV + Alpha + Audio + Mac = crash
FYI I found out what was causing the crash. It was the Perian component for Quicktime. I removed it from the /Library/Quicktime/ folder, and everything works fine now.
