[Flashcoders] Remoting, returning a Join
I am wondering how people are solving the following issue in the real world. I am struggling to understand Flash Remoting with Coldfusion. I know it should make my life a whole lot easier but at the moment it's not reallyh helping :) All of the examples I find on the net are too straightforward; select a table query and return that to flash (or in my case flex). But in my situation, I want to return a joined recordset. How do I return that recordset while maintaining the advantages of object on server is object in client? I can return the whole query without problems of course (plain old returntype=query) but what do I do after I get that recordset in flash/flex? Is it still nescesarry to parse out that resultset to make objects out of the recordset? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of remoting? (I used to do that in my xml communication days too). While I am busy, might as well ask the following question to the Coldfusion Remoting guru's out there too: What is best practice to let CF retujrn to Flash? In code examples I see a lot of 'query' being returned. But doesn't this go against the purpose of communicating only Objects between the two layers? In my head I have this image of letting Coldfusion return an Array of (e.g.) Person objects, when I execute a (e.g.) getPerson command.

Re: [Flashcoders] too many lines in one frame
Maybe, but the AS file was 115kb, and it had been working fine for months (during which time it was well over 32kb). I'm wondering if it's more about reaching some frame-AS limit than filesize. Or is 32kb a soft limit, after which thinks may or may not get flaky?

I know this is a sign of bad code, and it IS bad code. But it's legacy code. When I get a chance, I'll rewrite it and divide it up into classes. Anyway, this file was sucked into frame one, via an #include. As I added code, I started to notice weird problems. I pulled my hair out debugging, because the problems had nothing to do with the code I was adding. I'd add something like num=2, and all of the sudden a movieclip would vanish (trace(mc._name) gave me undefined). I removed num=2, and the movieclip came back (trace(mc._name) yielded mc). Sometimes, even adding a comment would case strange errors. To my surprise, I eventually figured out that the errors were caused by the number of lines of code. If I added two lines, no problem. If I added a third, I'd get errors. It didn't matter what that line was or where I inserted it. I got errors. I started googling for too many lines and actionscript and found various forums where someone had posted a similar story. Usually, people responded by saying, You must be mistaken. It doesn't matter how many lines of code you use. I fixed the problem by dividing the code up into two AS files and loading one into the first frame and the other into the second. ___ 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 ___ 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
[Flashcoders] Problems with Key event
For some reason this code doesn't capture all keyboard keys as expected:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = keyPressed;
Key.addListener(keyListener);
function keyPressed():Void {
trace(foo);
}
All letters and numbers work. Insert and Shift works.. But not Delete,
Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, Enter, etc..
What am I doing wrong???

RE: [Flashcoders] Create an object by name
Might be interesting to know why you need to do this at all. I'm using an XML document to create a file. Without going into details, each node of the XML is to be turned into an object, based on the kind of node. So for example: xmlitem type='Big' size='3' /item type='Small' size='2'/xml This would become two objects, one an instance of MyBigClass, one an instance of MySmallClass. In an old version of this, each one was a MovieClip with the appropriate linkage name. Now I'm trying to do it more flexibly with objects (so that in particular, each object type can inherit a standard class, and so that I don't have to have a separate movieClip for each object type). Danny Why would you not have 1 class with 2 properties type and size? What is different between the 2 items that requires different classes? The properties are the same. What does Big do that Small does not do? Loads of things (remember, 'big' and 'small' are just examples here). They're completely different objects. For example, one might refer to a bit of text, another to a picture, etc. If I put it all into one class, I'd have to fill it with Ifs and Switchs, which is what I'm trying to avoid. (Btw, I was out of communication yesterday due to a break-in at our office, so apologies to those people who sent replies that I didn't respond to) Best Danny ___ 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

I believe that it is probably working fine - but in the flash ide, when
testing, you need to disable the keyboard shortcuts - click on Control ---
Disable Keyboard Shortcuts in your preview window.

[Flashcoders] User Centred Design
Hello friends, For my graduation on multmedia design over here in The Netherlands I'm doing research on User Centred Design. I've been coding in actionscript for a few years now and the purpose of the research is to be able to create beautifull interfaces with high usability standards. So far I believe that user centred design comes from several disciplines like: Cognitive Psychology, Anthropology, Human-Computer Interaction, Visual and Graphic Arts, Communication, User-Interface Theory, Linguistics, Human-Factors, Information Design, Instructional Design, Color Theory, Typography, and more. It's a bit off topic but I know that you guys are the right persons to ask for advise. And so I would like to ask if anybody has any suggestions for me. Maybe on books or articles or just in general.

[Flashcoders] Problem extending inherited function
Hi, I have a problem extending an inherited function. I put all the
files described here in a zip if you want to test it yourselves:
http://www.webguidepartner.com/~johan/super-problem.zip
I have this mother-class:
class Mother extends MovieClip {
public var txt:TextField;
public function Mother() {
this.onPress = killingFocus;
//this.txt.onKillFocus = killingFocus;
}
public function killingFocus():Void {
trace(testFunc in mother);
}
}
...and this child-class that inherits from Mother:
class Child extends Mother {
public function Child() {
super();
}
public function killingFocus():Void {
super.killingFocus();
trace(testFunc in child);
}
}
Now, I have a test.fla that contains a movie clip that is linked to
Child. Everything works as expected, both lines of trace running on the
onPress.
But now: comment out the onPress-event in the constructor in Mother, and
uncomment the second line: this.txt.onKillFocus = killingFocus;
Now, there is a text field inside the movie clip. When this text field
loses focus, you wold expect the code to run the same way, but no. The
killingFocus-function in Mother is overwritten and only the trace in
Child runs.
I have some clue that the problem must have something to do with that it
is the text field that triggers the event, and not the movie clip. But
you would expect the super.killingFocus(); to work anyway, regardless of
what calls the function?!

/Johan

Yes, this is a scope issue -- it tries to call killingFocus on the
TextField's super class.
You have to delegate it, or just do:
var f = function () {
arguments.callee.self.killingFocus;
};
f.self = this;
this.txt.onKillFocus = f;

[Flashcoders] problem with sandy.
Hi, I've just run the sandy on my flash 8 and this was the error of
the first code.
**Error** /Applications/Macromedia Flash 8/sources/sandy/view/
ClipScreen.as: Line 102: There is no method with the name
'updateScreen'.
_c.updateScreen();
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 16: Type mismatch.
var cam:Camera3D = new Camera3D( 700, screen);
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 20: There is no
method with the name 'addCamera'.
World3D.getInstance().addCamera( cam );
Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3
the code is:
import sandy.core.data.*;

// we create our camera
var cam:Camera3D = new Camera3D( 700, screen);
// we move the camera backward to be able to see the object placed

cam.setPosition(0, 0, -500);
// we add the camera to the world
World3D.getInstance().addCamera( cam );
// we create the root node.
var bg:Group = new Group();
// and set it as the root node of the world.
World3D.getInstance().setRootGroup( bg );
// and we lauch the scene creation
createScene( bg );
// and now that everything is created, we can launch the world
rendering.
World3D.getInstance().render();
}
function createScene( bg:Group ):Void
{
// We create our object. It is a cube of 50 pixels
var o:Object3D = new Box( 50, 50, 50 );

the tree creation
bg.addChild( o);
}

init();
and this is the class path

somebody help me...it is supposed to be as hards as thisor I've
just missed something in the download.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem extending inherited function
This is a simple scope issue. The problem is caused exactly by that
what you talked about. When assigning killingFocus to the textfield's
event, use some kind of delegation (e.g. mx.util.Delegate):
txt.onKillFocus = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, killingFocus);
(off: actually, this is not required inside AS2 classes)
Attila
JN Hi, I have a problem extending an inherited function. I put all the
JN files described here in a zip if you want to test it yourselves:
JN http://www.webguidepartner.com/~johan/super-problem.zip
JN
JN I have this mother-class:
JN
JN
JN class Mother extends MovieClip {
JN public var txt:TextField;
JN
JN public function Mother() {
JN this.onPress = killingFocus;
JN //this.txt.onKillFocus = killingFocus;
JN }
JN
JN public function killingFocus():Void {
JN trace(testFunc in mother);
JN }
JN
JN }
JN
JN
JN ...and this child-class that inherits from Mother:
JN
JN
JN class Child extends Mother {
JN public function Child() {
JN super();
JN }
JN
JN public function killingFocus():Void {
JN super.killingFocus();
JN trace(testFunc in child);
JN }
JN }
JN
JN
JN Now, I have a test.fla that contains a movie clip that is linked to
JN Child. Everything works as expected, both lines of trace running on the
JN onPress.
JN
JN But now: comment out the onPress-event in the constructor in Mother, and
JN uncomment the second line: this.txt.onKillFocus = killingFocus;
JN
JN Now, there is a text field inside the movie clip. When this text field
JN loses focus, you wold expect the code to run the same way, but no. The
JN killingFocus-function in Mother is overwritten and only the trace in
JN Child runs.
JN
JN I have some clue that the problem must have something to do with that it
JN is the text field that triggers the event, and not the movie clip. But
JN you would expect the super.killingFocus(); to work anyway, regardless of
JN what calls the function?!

RE: [Flashcoders] Problem extending inherited function
The way you had your code, the Child class will never receive the
killingFocus call. Add a Delegate within the Mother Class to put the
onKillFocus event into scope with Child...
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Mother extends MovieClip {
public var txt:TextField;
public function Mother() {
//this.onPress = killingFocus;
this.txt.onKillFocus = Delegate.create(this, killingFocus);
}
public function killingFocus():Void {
trace(testFunc in mother);
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] problem with sandy.
I am not sure where you have gone wrong.
I can show you what I did. It is a bit more structured than the Sandy
examples
It declares a World3D and a movie clip and then builds a scene that can
be rotated.
Then it creates and adds a camera
This is the main flow. It sets up a Movie Clip to draw the world on and
then calls init which sets up the world, positions the camera and starts
the rendering.
The transforms and rotation objects are part of constructing the scene
and you can ignore then.
CODE
import sandy.core.data.*;
import sandy.core.group.*;
import sandy.primitive.*;
import sandy.view.*;
import sandy.core.*;
import sandy.skin.*;
import sandy.util.*;
import sandy.core.transform.*;
import sandy.events.*;
// not needed for your stuff
import com.rwcontrols.utils3D.RWRotation
import flashout.as;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
/**
* This is the main entry point for all test classes.
*/
class com.rwcontrols.sandytest.TestMain {
static var app : TestMain;
private var w:World3D;
private var mySection:TransformGroup;
private var masterRotation:RWRotation;
private var rotationTransform:Transform3D;
private var myRotatingSection:TransformGroup;
private var myScene:Group;
private var myCamera1:Camera3D;
// entry point
static function main(mc) {
app = new TestMain(mc);
}
function TestMain(mc) {
var myMC : MovieClip;
try { init(mc); }
catch (e:Error)
{trace(e.message);}
}
private function init(screen: MovieClip):Void
{
var i:Number;
this.w = World3D.getInstance();
//This draws a section of a plant
this.mySection = this.createSection() ;
// You can simplify this - I wanted to rotate the plant
this.masterRotation = new RWRotation(0,45,0);
this.rotationTransform =
this.masterRotation.createRotationTransform();
this.myRotatingSection =
this.createRotatableSection(this.mySection,this.rotationTransform);
//This creates the final scene to be viewed.
this.myScene = createScene(this.myRotatingSection)
this.w.setRootGroup(this.myScene );
//Now add a camra to look at the movie clip
this.myCamera1=createCamera1(screen)
this.w.addCamera(this.myCamera1);
//This makes it rotate
this.w.addEventListener (World3D.onRenderEVENT, this, rotate);
// Ready to draw it
this.w.render();
}
/CODE
Creating the camera is pretty simple and you can use this as is. Just
change your camera position. The look at just points the camera down
since I have raised the camera above the scene but still want the scene
to be in the middle of the frame. I just pass it the Movie clip that the
scene is on
CODE
private function createCamera1(screen:MovieClip):Camera3D{
var ecran:ClipScreen = new ClipScreen(screen, 1000, 1000, 0xFF );
// we create our camera
var cam:Camera3D = new Camera3D( 700, ecran);
cam.setPosition(0,200,-600);
cam.lookAt( 0, -20, -200 );
return cam;
}
/CODE
Creating the scene in my case is a multi-step process since I wanted a
rotating group on the scene.
The last step just adds the final group of objects(rotatable Site) to
the group that will be given to the world.
CODE
private function createScene( rotatableSite:TransformGroup ):Group
{
// we create the root node.
var bg:Group = new Group();
bg.addChild(rotatableSite);
return bg;
}
/CODE
Just in case you wanted to see the creation of a rotatable Group. I need
this to be able to rotate the thing on every onEnterFrame.
CODE
private function
createRotatableSection(site:TransformGroup,rotationTransform:Transform3D):TransformGroup
{
var tRot:TransformGroup = new TransformGroup();
// The rotation is set in the transform group which will hold
our site
tRot.setTransform( rotationTransform );
trace(Flashout.DEBUG+tRot)
// Our site is added to the rotation group
tRot.addChild( site );
return tRot;
}
/CODE
You do not need this but this is how I make it spin.
CODE
function rotate(){
this.masterRotation.incrementRotation(this.rotationTransform,0,1,0)
}
/CODE
My scene is fairly complex. This is only bits and pieces of it since you
already have your own scene to do
CODE
private function createSection( Void ):TransformGroup{
// Set up some skins and lights
var cyl1skin= new MixedSkin(0xFF, 40, 0xFF, 40, 1)
var cyl2skin= new MixedSkin(0x00FF00, 40, 0x00FF00, 40, 1)
var cyl3skin= new MixedSkin(0xFF, 40, 0xFF, 40, 1)
cyl1skin.setLightingEnable( true );
cyl2skin.setLightingEnable( true );
cyl3skin.setLightingEnable( true );
//Create some objects
var cyl1 = new Cylinder( 20, 70, 60, 'quad');
// code omitted here
var section:TransformGroup = new TransformGroup();
//add some of the groups created in the missing code
section.addChild(bin1);
section.addChild(bin1LabelTG);
section.addChild(bin2);
Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Sandy: Camera Flythrough
You can move the objects, move the world or move the camera - your choice. The last 2 are easier. You only need to move the objects if you want tem to move with respect to each other not te viewer.

RE: [Flashcoders] Problem extending inherited function
The way you had your code, the Child class will never receive
the killingFocus call. Add a Delegate within the Mother Class
to put the onKillFocus event into scope with Child...
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Mother extends MovieClip {
public var txt:TextField;
public function Mother() {
//this.onPress = killingFocus;
this.txt.onKillFocus = Delegate.create(this, killingFocus);
}
public function killingFocus():Void {
trace(testFunc in mother);
}
}
Hmm - this seems to go against the stuff we've been talking about recently
(see 'super and this' thread) where people have been saying that inherited
classes are essentially wrapped into one. This is an example where the
ancestor is being treated as an object in its own right. If inheritance
worked the way people described in the previous thread, it ought not to be
possible for a command to bypass the Child class and go straight to the
Mother.

Re: [Flashcoders] Anyway way to capture a SWF as a bitmap?
Hey Douglas, To answer your question, the technique is to create a BitmapData object initialized to the width/height of your movieclip, you then call draw() passing the movieclip you want to convert. This is something I've done in Flex. It's much easier in AS3 as there are jpeg/png encoders out there that encode BitmapData objects into byte arrays. The encoding phase is a little resource intensive, but once it's done, you have a compressed object you can send and write straight to the HD without any encoding on the server side. www.pierinc.com On 3/21/07, Douglas Pearson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone know if there's a way to draw the contents of a SWF to a Bitmap/BitmapData object within Flash?

I know this is a sign of bad code, and it IS bad code. But it's legacy code. When I get a chance, I'll rewrite it and divide it up into classes. Anyway, this file was sucked into frame one, via an #include. As I added code, I started to notice weird problems. I pulled my hair out debugging, because the problems had nothing to do with the code I was adding. I'd add something like num=2, and all of the sudden a movieclip would vanish (trace(mc._name) gave me undefined). I removed num=2, and the movieclip came back (trace(mc._name) yielded mc). Sometimes, even adding a comment would case strange errors. To my surprise, I eventually figured out that the errors were caused by the number of lines of code. If I added two lines, no problem. If I added a third, I'd get errors. It didn't matter what that line was or where I inserted it. I got errors. I started googling for too many lines and actionscript and found various forums where someone had posted a similar story. Usually, people responded by saying, You must be mistaken. It doesn't matter how many lines of code you use. I fixed the problem by dividing the code up into two AS files and loading one into the first frame and the other into the second. ___ 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 ___ 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 ___ 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

RE: [Flashcoders] Help: test EventDispatcher speed please
Regarding the test, I think it would be more useful to have people specify whether or not they are on an Intel or an original Mac. I have definitely noticed performance improvements since upgrading to my Intel, but I'm not sure if its only because of the faster processor, if the Flash Player handles the code differently on an Intel, or even if its still runs in Rosetta? As far as site checks and requests, I have to agree with Jason on this. If you are compiling testing statistics, requesting to have them sent off list and then posting a summary after you have completed your tests seems more appropriate. I for one would be interested in the results, but again, they aren't very useful for me if I have to filter through all the posts to figure out what the results were.

[Flashcoders] disabling carriage returns in wrapping text fields
Does anyone know if it's possible to restrict hard returns in text input fields (fields must wrap)? I have form fields to capture user input that I'm sending up to the server to be stored in a database. When I request this stored data from the server, anything after a hard return is lost. I've tried something like this: my_txt.restrict=^\u0013, and a bunch of variations thereof, but nothing seems to keep the Enter key from doing it's thing. Second best would be to traverse through a string a user has entered and replace hard returns with a space or dash, but again I've had no luck looking for \n or \r. I've tried entering text and hard returns into a dynamic textfield set to input, but when I try this: var n:Number = my_txt.indexOf(\n)... trace(n: +n) //traces n: -1 Anyone have any insight into this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 textfields in a Flash 7 SWF
for the effects to take affect, you'd need to publish in version 8. since those with 7 won't be able to load that (or might not be able to with predictable results) using System.capabilities.version to detect version number might not solve your problem. so within a single swf, i don't think you can accomplish that.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash extension question
If you want to export to a different directory, you'll have to modify
the publish settings xml file, which I discuss on my blog...which for
some reason is down right now (writes email to hosting company)...so
I'll copy and paste the code here. If you are publishing to the same
folder as the FLA, you only need to doc.publish() and the first two
functions.
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
function getRelativePath() {
var pathArr = doc.path.split(\\);
pathArr.length--;
return(file:/// + pathArr.join(/) + /);
}
function saveFile(s) {
var fPath = getRelativePath() + s + .fla;
fl.saveDocument(doc, fPath);
}
function cleanup() {
var fPath = getRelativePath() + PublishProfile.xml;
FLfile.remove(fPath);
}
function publishTheSWF(s) {
setPublishSettings(s);
saveFile(s);
cleanup();
doc.publish();
}
function setPublishSettings(s) {
var xml, from, to, snip;
var fPath = getRelativePath() + PublishProfile.xml;
// export the profile and read it in
doc.exportPublishProfile(fPath);
xml = FLfile.read(fPath);
var folderPath = ../deploy/;
// replace the publish paths
from = xml.indexOf(flashFileName);
to = xml.indexOf(/flashFileName);
snip = xml.substring(from, to);
xml = xml.split(snip).join(flashFileName + folderPath + s);
// set player version
v = 8;
from = xml.indexOf(Version);
to = xml.indexOf(/Version);
snip = xml.substring(from, to);
xml = xml.split(snip).join(Version + v);
var nodes = {};
nodes.generatorFileName = swt;
nodes.projectorWinFileName = exe;
nodes.projectorMacFileName = hqx;
nodes.htmlFileName = html;
nodes.gifFileName = gif;
nodes.jpegFileName = jpg;
nodes.pngFileName = png;
nodes.qtFileName = mov;
nodes.rnwkFileName = smil;
for (var n in nodes) {
from = xml.indexOf( + n + );
to = xml.indexOf(/ + n + );
snip = xml.substring(from, to);
xml = xml.split(snip).join( + n + + s + . +
nodes[n]);
}
// write the file
FLfile.write(fPath, xml);
// import the altered profile
doc.importPublishProfile(fPath);
}
You can then use:
publishTheSWF(swfName);
Note: do not include the extension.

Hi guys,
I'm writing a JSFL file that does some SWF exporting based on the FLA in
focus. The exportSWF() method takes an absolute path. Is there a way to
get
a path to the current FLA or the directory that holds the FLA? Its kind
of
annoying to have to manually enter that path for each FLA I'm dealing
with.

You might be better off using a getter/setter since you will have to
redraw the rect_mc each time the color changes.
private var rect_mc:MovieClip;
private var __bgColor:Number = 0x66;
private var __hasInitialized:Boolean = false;
private function draw() {
setBgColor();
__hasInitialized = true;
}
private function setBgColor():Void {
// draw stuff, using __bgColor
rect_mc.clear();
rect_mc.beginFill(__bgColor);
// etc..
rect_mc.endFill();
}
[Inspectable(defaultValue=#66,type=Color)]
public function get bgColor():Number {
return __bgColor;
}
public function set bgColor(val:Number):Void {
__bgColor = val;
if(__hasInitialized) setBgColor();
}

[Flashcoders] NetStream Bug? FLVs with no audio won't pause(false)
Anyone else run into this problem?
If I call a NetStream's pause() function and pass a value of FALSE, it's
supposed to unpause it. However, if I do so after a few milliseconds on an
FLV that's encoded without any audio, the pause(false) does the exact
opposite! If I run the same code on an FLV that has audio, it works
perfectly!
I encoded lots of different ways in Sorenson Squeeze and with the Quicktime
exporter using various codecs and bitrates, but nothing solves the problem.
The only way to fix it is to call a pause(true) immediately before calling
pause(false).
I've set up an interactive test file so you can see exactly what I'm talking
about. It has a sample FLA, two FLVs (one with audio, one without), and the
original WMV video. Just click the buttons to see the behavior. Download the
1.9MB file at:
http://www.greensock.com/NetStream_Bug.zip
I know you're thinking why would you want to call pause(false) if you're
already playing the NetStream, butwell...it's a long story and you'll
just have to trust me.
Like I said, I figured out a way around it, but I'm sending this e-mail out
for two reasons:
1) Maybe you guys can find an error in my code (not that the code is the
least bit complex, but I've been known to miss the obvious)
2) Maybe someone else has run into the same problem and would be helped by
the simple hack I'm using
Here's some sample code (not what I'd use in my application - just a
simplified version to show the bug):
var _nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
_nc.connect(null);
var _ns:NetStream = new NetStream(_nc);
video_obj.attachVideo(_ns);
_ns.play(without_audio.flv);
var delayInterval_num:Number = setInterval(resume, 200);
function resume():Void {
//_ns.pause(true); //Uncomment this line and it'll work again.
Shouldn't have to though.
_ns.pause(false);
clearInterval(delayInterval_num);
}

Hi Alias, it's either % 256 or 255. But % 255 gives you the wrong result -- (255 % 255 == 0). Either: var r = col 16; var g = (col 8) % 256; var b = col % 256; Or: var r = col 16; var g = (col 8) 0xff; var b = col 0xff; I prefer the second.

[Flashcoders] disabling carriage returns in multiline input text fields
Does anyone know if it's possible to restrict hard returns in text input fields (fields must wrap)? I have form fields to capture user input that I'm sending up to the server to be stored in a database. When I request this stored data from the server, anything after a hard return is lost. I've tried something like this: my_txt.restrict=^\u0013, and a bunch of variations thereof, but nothing seems to keep the Enter key from doing it's thing. Second best would be to traverse through a string a user has entered and replace hard returns with a space or dash, but again I've had no luck looking for \n or \r. I've tried entering text and hard returns into a dynamic textfield set to input, but when I try this: var n:Number = my_txt.indexOf(\n)... trace(n: +n) //traces n: -1 Anyone have any insight into this?

No it does not need to be an exe file. I tried loading the swf file as well and loads ok, except that the second swf file needs to look at a folder and load a bunch of jpg, and other data. I have looked at the data being loaded and it is all there, however the pictures do not load that data does not put into the dynamic text fields.

Re: [Flashcoders] disabling carriage returns in wrapping text fields
Flash uses \r (0x0D) only in text fields. All occurencies of \n (0x0A) are replaced with \r. E.g. if you assign foo\nbar to a text field and read the value back, it will turn to foo\rbar. For replacing certain characters use String.split() and String.join().

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash video, works locally not online
The path to a video is relative to your swf when playing it standalone

But in an online situation the path is relative to the place where the
swf is embedded, so to the html file/location.
This confuses me often, and this might also be your problem ?

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash extension question
If you want to export to a different directory, you'll have to modify
the publish settings xml file, which I discuss on my blog...which for
some reason is down right now (writes email to hosting company)...so
I'll copy and paste the code here. If you are publishing to the same
folder as the FLA, you only need to doc.publish() and the first two
functions.
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
function getRelativePath() {
var pathArr = doc.path.split(\\);
pathArr.length--;
return(file:/// + pathArr.join(/) + /);
}
function saveFile(s) {
var fPath = getRelativePath() + s + .fla;
fl.saveDocument(doc, fPath);
}
function cleanup() {
var fPath = getRelativePath() + PublishProfile.xml;
FLfile.remove(fPath);
}
function publishTheSWF(s) {
setPublishSettings(s);
saveFile(s);
cleanup();
doc.publish();
}
function setPublishSettings(s) {
var xml, from, to, snip;
var fPath = getRelativePath() + PublishProfile.xml;
// export the profile and read it in
doc.exportPublishProfile(fPath);
xml = FLfile.read(fPath);
var folderPath = ../deploy/;
// replace the publish paths
from = xml.indexOf(flashFileName);
to = xml.indexOf(/flashFileName);
snip = xml.substring(from, to);
xml = xml.split(snip).join(flashFileName + folderPath + s);
// set player version
v = 8;
from = xml.indexOf(Version);
to = xml.indexOf(/Version);
snip = xml.substring(from, to);
xml = xml.split(snip).join(Version + v);
var nodes = {};
nodes.generatorFileName = swt;
nodes.projectorWinFileName = exe;
nodes.projectorMacFileName = hqx;
nodes.htmlFileName = html;
nodes.gifFileName = gif;
nodes.jpegFileName = jpg;
nodes.pngFileName = png;
nodes.qtFileName = mov;
nodes.rnwkFileName = smil;
for (var n in nodes) {
from = xml.indexOf( + n + );
to = xml.indexOf(/ + n + );
snip = xml.substring(from, to);
xml = xml.split(snip).join( + n + + s + . +
nodes[n]);
}
// write the file
FLfile.write(fPath, xml);
// import the altered profile
doc.importPublishProfile(fPath);
}
You can then use:
publishTheSWF(swfName);
Note: do not include the extension.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem extending inherited function
On 3/21/07, Danny Kodicek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hmm - this seems to go against the stuff we've been talking about recently
(see 'super and this' thread) where people have been saying that inherited
classes are essentially wrapped into one. This is an example where the
ancestor is being treated as an object in its own right. If inheritance
worked the way people described in the previous thread, it ought not to be
possible for a command to bypass the Child class and go straight to the
Mother.
The ancestor /is/ an object in its own right.
Every object has a property __proto__ linking it to its prototype
object. For every class, there is one single prototype (which in turn
has its __proto__ set to its superclass' prototype, and so on, up the
Prototype Chain to Object.prototype), and every instance of that
class, as well as all prototype objects of its child classes, has it's
__proto__ set to it.
Example:
class Foo {
var name = foo;
function Foo () {}
function hello () {
trace( hello + name );
}
}
class Bar extends Foo {
function Bar () {
super();
name = bar;
}
}
What this gives you is nothing but a bunch of objects of two types,
some of type object, some of type function (which extends Object
itself), and a single string (the second string in Bar's constructor
only gets created whenever you create another instance):
Foo is a function, the constructor of a class, as is Bar. They're
normal functions, but for one property, Foo.prototype (resp.
Bar.prototype). That's one of the object that just got created, the
class' prototype. That prototype object has all the properties and
methods that instances of the class shall inherit as properties, in
this case, a function called hello, which therefore would be
Foo.prototype.hello, and one property of type string called name. If
you had an instance of Foo, myFoo, that would really only be an
object. It wouldn't have a property hello or name itself, in fact,
it would only have two properties, one for the prototype and one for
the constructor.
When you instantiate it with 'new Foo()', here's what happens:
// instantiate the object:
var myFoo = {
__proto__: Foo.prototype,
constructor: Foo
};
// and call the constructor on it:
myFoo.constructor.apply( myFoo );
Every object has those two properties, by the way. Even when you say
{} what you really get is {__proto__: Object.prototype, constructor:
Object}. (So, you can instantiate an object without calling its
constructor -- if you did this with Bar, the resulting myBar would
trace hello foo when you did myBar.hello().)
Foo.prototype looks like this:
Foo.prototype = {
__proto__: Object.prototype,
constructor: Foo,
name: foo,
hello: function () {
trace( hello + this.name );
}
};
...and Bar's prototype:
Bar.prototype = {
__proto__: Foo.prototype, // that's the inheritance!
constructor: Bar,
};
You can access myFoo.name, but it doesn't have a method hello or a
property name itself. When you try to access name as myFoo.name,
the virtual machine checks if your instance has that property. It
doesn't, so it goes on to check the class' prototype object, which is
where name is found -- myFoo.__proto__.name == Foo.prototype.name.
Bar.prototype has a __proto__ property itself, set to Foo.prototype,
and would inherit name the same way. Instances of Bar, however,
would overwrite it in the constructor. That gives each single instance
of Bar a property name set to bar, while there is only one
property name set to foo, shared by all instances of Foo (and,
oddly, by Bar.prototype).
All of the following are true:
Bar.prototype.__proto__ == Foo.prototype
myBar.__proto__ == Bar.prototype
myBar.__proto__.__proto__ == Foo.prototype
myBar.__proto__.__proto__.__proto__ == Object.prototype
So what's super, really?
I have no idea. 'typeof super' traces object, but somehow you can
call it like a function. In the constructor, it behaves just as
this.__proto__.__proto__.constructor would, and in methods, it behaves
just as if it was this.__proto__.__proto__. It's not equal (as in
'==') to either, though. It's a mystery, at least to me, maybe
somebody can explain?

RE: [Flashcoders] disabling carriage returns in multiline input textfields
I would say your best bet is to make it initially a single-line textfield, listen for the onChanged handler and do some metrics on it (getTextExtent), if it passes a certain width, set autoSize and multiline. You could possibly also try listening for a Key event and ignore the one for ENTER. Not sure if that'll work 100% though. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of john hoffsis Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 2:55 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] disabling carriage returns in multiline input textfields Does anyone know if it's possible to restrict hard returns in text input fields (fields must wrap)? I have form fields to capture user input that I'm sending up to the server to be stored in a database. When I request this stored data from the server, anything after a hard return is lost. I've tried something like this: my_txt.restrict=^\u0013, and a bunch of variations thereof, but nothing seems to keep the Enter key from doing it's thing. Second best would be to traverse through a string a user has entered and replace hard returns with a space or dash, but again I've had no luck looking for \n or \r. I've tried entering text and hard returns into a dynamic textfield set to input, but when I try this: var n:Number = my_txt.indexOf(\n)... trace(n: +n) //traces n: -1 Anyone have any insight into this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash video, works locally not online
it could also be that your server doesn't have the right mime settings for
flvees

I am trying to get some video loaded at runtime using the following:

curMedia = createEmptyMovieClip(videoPlayer, getNextHighestDepth());

output to textfield
}
}
my_ns.play(this.curClient.videos[0]); // reference to video object
debugRef.text += this.curClient.videos[0]+\n; // which is
outputted here and is correct
When i try to run this locally it works fine, when i try to run it online
I
get no status response from my_ns.
However the flv file will run when I use a video component wizard
(FLVPlayback)
Can someone suggest what is wrong or how i can debug this?
Cheers,
