[Flashcoders] AS3 InteractiveObject.focusRect property.
How do I use the InteractiveObject.focusRect property? The documentation is sketchy. I can see that I assign (or get) an Object from it. Setting it to null defaults to the Stage.stageFocusRect setting. But how else can I use focusRect?

Re: [Flashcoders] scale 9?
Hi Steven - I'm using a vector - a simple rectangle. Paul - thanks for the insight. I've tried a few things now and nothing I do gets the clip to be at the proper size. I'm giving up on it and may use Patrick's suggestion of the Bevel filter. Patrick - I did originally try using bevel, but it never gives me a really clean line even with Blur at 0 and quality at High. But, I think it may be good enough. FWIW - I also had a embosser class I wrote, to extend MC. But then I had issues with my drawn lines appearing over things since I couldn't draw into the clip itself - as it was scaled. I think Bevel is going to be the least hassle, even though it's not exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] scale 9?
PS - Bevel works fine actually, it was my clip not being located at an integer pixel value that made the bevel look off. Sometimes...

[Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
I understand that when instantiating a class you can set the scope where the instance is going to run, but how about when we dont actually instantiate the class on the timeline but we just link the class directly to the items on the stage, how is the scope treated in this case? I assume the class has to be instantiated on itself or do we need a separate class to keep track of this item?

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
Hey Jason, All Im trying to do is run some animation inside a movieclip but without instantiating the class. So what I do instead is just add a MovieClip on stage that has a link to a class and it knows exactly what to do rather than having to instantiate it manually. BTW, I read your previous post that talks about classes talking to each other, it is something I am trying to acomplish as well. -h On 4/3/07, Merrill, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Classes don't know their own scope, they are oblivious to anything outside of them, (unless of course you import some other class - then they know what the other class does, but still don't have any scope reference).

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
So I figured it out or at least I think I did,
private var target: myClass;
function myClass(){
target = this;
}
now I can reference to properties within a class without breaking the app.
So in the same lines, is there anyway to code the classe so that we don't
have to reference to the properties and methods within the class without
having to say
target.objectA._x = 130;
but just have
objectA._x = 130;
Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
You are correct, and it all seems clear now and working as expected, the
only guy that I cant understand is the Tween class and the way i can pass a
refrence of the main class inside it.
I have learend that this works
myTween.onMotionFinished = Delegate.create(this, myNextFunction);
but I am triggering other functions in the middle of the Tween
//code sample
var playOnce:Boolean = true;
myTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
if ( (myTween.time .2) playOnce == true) {
Delegate.create(scope, resetWin3);
playOnce = false;
}
}
//end of sample
Which of course doesnt want to cooperate, I have tried to pass a reference
of the class into the Tween but still it wants to use itself as a reference
rather than the refence passed into it. Any Ideas? I will keep googling in
the mean time...

Delegate.create(scope, resetWin3);
Because that's not how delegate works exactly :) - there is no scope
address to resetWin3 inside of the tween.onMotionChanged event. Instead
you should do it like this:
myTween.onMotionChanged = Delegate.create(scope, resetWin3)
If you want to pass an argument to the function then that's easy enough:
var myDel:Object = myTween.onMotionChanged = Delegate.create(scope,
resetWin3)
myDel.myArgument = hello
then in the resetWin3 function:
function resetWin3():Void
{
myVar = arguments.caller.myArgument
}

This looks like a lot of very strange stuff is going on in the design of this

can see if there is a better and simpler way to accomplish it. (I can't figure
out where the Delegate mentioned in the subject line is coming from, either.)

have to reference to the properties and methods within the class without
having to say

Subject: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
I understand that when instantiating a class you can set the
scope where the instance is going to run, but how about when
we dont actually instantiate the class on the timeline but we
just link the class directly to the items on the stage, how
is the scope treated in this case? I assume the class has to
be instantiated on itself or do we need a separate class to
keep track of this item?

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Delegate Class Scoping self instantiated
In the piece of code that I just sent basically what is happening is this:
Start Tween = Tween length 1 sec
If it has elapsed .2 seconds then trigger a function
And my problem was that once the .2 seconds have happened the function wasnt
called since it was inside an If statement inside the onMotionChanged
function inside the Tween class
//Sample
myTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
if ( (myTween.time .2) playOnce == true) {
// FunctionCallHappens here
playOnce = false;
}
}
//end of sample
But as Jason explained making an object and then referencing to it seems to
work great. So the final question is, Did I explain my situation correctly
and would this be a good approach or should I think it over?
Thanks

[Flashcoders] Date.getTime rounded in PocketPC player
Hi there, I'm building a simple benchmark application and I'm using the getTime() method of the Date object to calculate the time elapsed. No problems so far in the PC, but when I test it in the PDA (Pocket PC 7 player) I'm finding that the last 3 digits are ALWAYS 000. It seems pretty obvious to me that they're doing this on purpose. Needless to say that I haven't found any official document about this. Anyone with the same problem? Is this reasonable?

Re: [Flashcoders] Date.getTime rounded in PocketPC player
I don't have any suggestions regarding the less accurate timing mechanism on the PDA, but I'd suggest this: Instead of timing how long it takes to do something - maybe you can do something x times in say 10 seconds. So instead of the speed via time, you get the speed via number of loop iterations. Can you do it that way?

RE: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
Actually, I had been meaning to post again because I had lost my code for getting EventDispatcher working between two classes. Someone posted a response here and I lost it, as well as my code that was working. if anyone can post again on how to get one class to dispatch a CUSTOM event and get another CUSTOM class to listen to that event, please post!

Re: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
Here's a stripped down version (i just left in the methods that dispatch en
event) of my Form base class that uses EventDispatcher.
This class is usually extended by other classes (in an ARP-type framework).
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class com.muzakdeezign.core.Form extends MovieClip {
static var symbolName:String = Form;
static var symbolOwner = Object(com.muzakdeezign.core.Form);
var className:String = Form;
// allow class to broadcast events
private static var dispatcherInit =
EventDispatcher.initialize(Object(com.muzakdeezign.core.Form.prototype));
// mix-in from EventDispatcher
var addEventListener:Function;
var removeEventListener:Function;
var dispatchEvent:Function;
var dispatchQueue:Function;
//
// CONSTRUCTOR
//
function Form() {
// trace(Form ::: CONSTRUCTOR);
}
//
// PRIVATE METHODS
//
private function size():Void {
// should be overridden by sub class
this.dispatchEvent({type:size});
}
//
// PUBLIC METHODS
//
public function move(x:Number, y:Number, noEvent:Boolean):Void {
// trace(Form ::: move);
// code removed...
if (noEvent != true) {
dispatchEvent({type:move, oldX:oldX, oldY:oldY});
}
}
public function show():Void {
// trace(Form ::: show)
this._visible = true;
this.dispatchEvent({type:reveal});
}
public function hide():Void {
// trace(FORM ::: hide)
this._visible = false;
this.dispatchEvent({type:hide});
}
}
So assume you then have 2 classes, Application and Login both extending the
Form class and Login is a movieclip inside Application
(Login is a child of Application). The Application could then listen to events
dispatched by the Login.
import com.muzakdeezign.core.Form;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Application extends Form {
private var login_frm:Login;
private function onLoad() {
login_frm.addEventListener(show, Delegate.create(this,
this.loginShowHandler));
login_frm.addEventListener(hide, Delegate.create(this,
this.loginHideHandler));
}
private function loginShowHandler(evt:Object):Void {
// login is visible
}
private function loginHideHandler(evt:Object):Void {
// login is hidden
}
}
Note that the Login doesn't listen for events dispatched by the Application
because:
- children don't listen to parents ;-)
If Application had 2 child forms (Login, SomeView), those children wouldn't
communicate with eachother directly, but through the
parent (Application) by dispatching events.
For instance when a user logs in, the Login form could dispatch a loggedIn
event to inform the Application that a login was
successful.
The Application would then respond to that by hiding the Login form and showing
the SomeView form.
import com.muzakdeezign.core.Form;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Application extends Form {
private var login_frm:Login;
private var view_frm:SomeView;
private function onLoad() {
view_frm.hide();
login_frm.addEventListener(loggedIn, Delegate.create(this,
this.loginLoggedInHandler));
}
private function loginLoggedInHandler(evt:Object):Void {
// login was successful
// hide login and show other form
login_frm.hide();
view_frm.show();
}
}
Does this help?
regards,
Muzak

To be fair, it is your opinion that it is not right, unless you have a source that states otherwise. I vividly recall hearing one of the Adobe folks make the statement during a presentation online.

Re: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
Hello :)
if you want test an AS2 EventDispatcher implementation based on the W3C
event model DOM 2/3 (the AS3 event model is based on the same dom) you
can use my personal event model in my framework VEGAS :
- http://vegas.riaforge.org/
- http://osflash.org/vegas
Install my framework in Flash with the classpath AS2/trunk/src in the
project directory
all examples in the AS2/trunk/bin/test/vegas/events directory of the project
: http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/vegas/events/
My vegas.events.* package use 3 interfaces ( EventTarget, EventListener and
Event )
--
Exemple 1 (Use vegas.events.Delegate class) :
import vegas.events.BasicEvent ;
import vegas.events.Delegate ;
import vegas.events.Event ;
import vegas.events.EventDispatcher ;
import vegas.events.EventListener ;
var debug = function(ev:Event)
{
trace(debug :: + this + : + ev.getType()) ;
}
var dispatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher() ;
dispatcher.addEventListener(onTest, new Delegate(this, debug)) ;
dspatcher.dispatchEvent( new BasicEvent(onTest, this, Hello World) ) ;
--
Exemple 2 : Use your customs Events and EventListener :
# The EventListener

you can use bubbling and capturing event with my EventDispatcher class ...
Use a global EventDispatcher singleton with the static getInstance()

You can use to finish the FrontController class of my framework to
centralize all your events with a global propagation of the events :
[Flashcoders] simple code- should work but is not.
Hi all,
this is my first post on flashcoders. i think this is a simple fix and
everything is basic, so i can't figure out why it isn't working.
my code on the root timeline in the actions layer (frame 21) is simply:
** stop();
wine_mc.wineback_btn.onPress = function() {
trace(hello);
}
might anyone know why my wineback_btn is not registering the onPress?
i know for sure that my playhead reaches frame 21 where the code is.
instance names are specified.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.
i've uploaded the .fla in case you want to take a closer look.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
Here's a stripped down version (i just left in the methods
that dispatch en event) of my Form base class that uses
EventDispatcher.
This class is usually extended by other classes (in an
ARP-type framework).
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class com.muzakdeezign.core.Form extends MovieClip { static
var symbolName:String = Form; static var symbolOwner =
Object(com.muzakdeezign.core.Form);
var className:String = Form;
// allow class to broadcast events
private static var dispatcherInit =
EventDispatcher.initialize(Object(com.muzakdeezign.core.Form.p
rototype));
// mix-in from EventDispatcher
var addEventListener:Function;
var removeEventListener:Function;
var dispatchEvent:Function;
var dispatchQueue:Function;
//
//
//
// CONSTRUCTOR
//
//
//
function Form() {
// trace(Form ::: CONSTRUCTOR);
}
//
//
//
// PRIVATE METHODS
//
//
//
private function size():Void {
// should be overridden by sub class
this.dispatchEvent({type:size});
}
//
//
//
// PUBLIC METHODS
//
//
//
public function move(x:Number, y:Number, noEvent:Boolean):Void {
// trace(Form ::: move);
// code removed...
if (noEvent != true) {
dispatchEvent({type:move, oldX:oldX, oldY:oldY});
}
}
public function show():Void {
// trace(Form ::: show)
this._visible = true;
this.dispatchEvent({type:reveal});
}
public function hide():Void {
// trace(FORM ::: hide)
this._visible = false;
this.dispatchEvent({type:hide});
}
}
So assume you then have 2 classes, Application and Login both
extending the Form class and Login is a movieclip inside
Application (Login is a child of Application). The
Application could then listen to events dispatched by the Login.
import com.muzakdeezign.core.Form;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Application extends Form {
private var login_frm:Login;
private function onLoad() {
login_frm.addEventListener(show, Delegate.create(this,
this.loginShowHandler));
login_frm.addEventListener(hide, Delegate.create(this,
this.loginHideHandler)); }
private function loginShowHandler(evt:Object):Void {
// login is visible
}
private function loginHideHandler(evt:Object):Void {
// login is hidden
}
}
Note that the Login doesn't listen for events dispatched by
the Application because:
- children don't listen to parents ;-)
If Application had 2 child forms (Login, SomeView), those
children wouldn't communicate with eachother directly, but
through the parent (Application) by dispatching events.
For instance when a user logs in, the Login form could
dispatch a loggedIn event to inform the Application that a
login was successful.
The Application would then respond to that by hiding the
Login form and showing the SomeView form.
import com.muzakdeezign.core.Form;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Application extends Form {
private var login_frm:Login;
private var view_frm:SomeView;
private function onLoad() {
view_frm.hide();
login_frm.addEventListener(loggedIn,
Delegate.create(this, this.loginLoggedInHandler)); }
private function loginLoggedInHandler(evt:Object):Void {
// login was successful
// hide login and show other form
login_frm.hide();
view_frm.show();
}
}
Does this help?
regards,
Muzak

[Flashcoders] Flash 9 CS3 - Key questions
Does anyone know if flash 9 cs3 will support scale 9 for actual bitmaps, as opposed to just vector objects. Similar to how flex builder can do this except its precompiled at runtime. Also, is there support for mxml in flash 9 cs3? What is the integration between flex builder and flash 9 cs3? Is it tight? I know the compiler will use the flex builder compiler which is awesome. Can you reference components from flex builder in a flash 9 movie and directly access the objects? If anyone has any info on this, this would be great.

[Flashcoders] If statements combined into one
insted of :

once2 = true;
if (once2 == true) {
dothisonce();
once2 = false;
}
once3 = true;
if (once3 == true) {
dothisonce();
once3 = false;

What I am trying to do is take the if statements out into its own function
like
bigFunction() {
test(one);
test(two);
test(three);
test(var1 ) {
once = true;
if (once == true) {
apply.var1(this);
once = false;
}
}
The tricky part is that this functions are being triggered constantly so
each function has to fire only once each time is called... Any good ideas?

RE: [Flashcoders] simple code- should work but is not.
I would move this to the Flashnewbies list, but your problem is in the
wine_mc there is no wineback_btn in the first frame, thus Flash can't
find it to assign the onPress. In fact, I don't see wineback_btn
anywhere in wine_mc - only in the library.

[Flashcoders] Question: FMS 2 and CMS managed FLV files
I've got a bit of a question that I'm trying to wrap my head around. Can Flash Media Server 2 take dynamic paths to FLV content? We're working within the constraints of a pretty high end post production solution that will end up storing many hours of video content, probably in MXF format in a high-res storage environment. There will be FLV files generated from this original content and stored in alternate locations. Right now as I understand it, FMS requires you to determine virtual directory paths. Unfortunately, these paths will need to be entirely dynamic (edge-type system) and may include both network and local system paths. The web front end will read file information from the CMS and pass a dynamically generated location path to FMS for it to grab the FLV file to stream (the file will not have an flv extension either). Has anyone done anything like this or knows if this is even possible? I can't seem to find any resources that goes into this depth. Bunch of bright people here so I figured I would ask. cheers, Jon ___ 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] simple code- should work but is not.
On frame 21, trace(wine back
btn:+wine_mc.wineback_btn);
This will tell you
1) If the playhead actually DOES reach frame 21
2) If the button in question is actually where you
think it is.
Frequently simple problems like this are because
you've forgotten to put a symbol where you thought you
put it, or because you have the wrong scope.

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
Actually, I had been meaning to post again because I had lost my code
for getting EventDispatcher working between two classes. Someone posted
a response here and I lost it, as well as my code that was working. if
anyone can post again on how to get one class to dispatch a CUSTOM event
and get another CUSTOM class to listen to that event, please post!
Helmut and I would like to see an example. The help docs on
EventDispatcher are really awful, and I haven't seen a lot of stuff
online.

RE: [Flashcoders] Changing keyframe interval in a FLV
Even if there is a tool, I don't think it would make a difference. My guess is that FLV video is handled like any other video with regards to keyframes. That is, the tween frames only contain content that has changed, everything else is transparent. A keyframe, contains all of the information. If you already have an encoded video then the tween frames are not complete frames. Turning one into a keyframe would simply create a flattened frame based on the information available. This is just my armchair assessment. If there are any FLV video guru's out there, please correct me if I'm wrong. ...Rob -Original Message- From: leolea [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 2:02 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Changing keyframe interval in a FLV Hi, I need to have a smaller keyframe interval on my FLV files.

[Flashcoders] Preloading FLV with NetStream
Hi, Is it possible, using the NetStream object, to preload a FLV. I have multiple FLV videos that I need to play back-to-back smoothly. I want all of them to be preloaded so that when I start playback it doesn't buffer or lag in any way. I can't seem to find a way so my next alternative would be to use SWF with MovieClipLoader.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 9 CS3 - Key questions
Does anyone know if flash 9 cs3 will support scale 9 for actual bitmaps, as opposed to just vector objects. Similar to how flex builder can do this except its precompiled at runtime. Just as a quick note, you *can* use bitmaps with scale9, most of the time (that is, as long as it's static). It's a bit clumsy, but you have to break the image inside the movieclip, then create lines on the same place that the guides are located, group the individual grid blocks, then remove the lines. This breaks the movieclip into pieces that match the same position of the scale9 rulers and ultimately makes it work. It's the same as creating vector boxes with a bitmap fill of that particular image and aligning/moving the fill in a way that makes the boundaries match. Again, it's clumsy, but at least it doesn't force you to create new movieclips and resize them with code... you just have to break it and group it.

[Flashcoders] Job post: Flash-based Learning Management System project
I'm an instructional designer, based the Los Angeles area, developing a Learning Management System (LMS), Course Authoring Management Tool (CMS), and web portal for a prominent niche university. This project specifically entails building a state-of-the-art streaming GUI, a Student Records and CMS User database, a streaming Personal Curriculum Server, and a back-end Flash video database and server. The project is in its early planning stage and is scheduled to start May 1, 2007. The delivered product will look cool and function flawlessly. Simply put, it will be the finest application of its kind on the web. I have very detailed project and component specifications, as well as a working C++ prototype. I now seek a very experienced, expert-level Flash / AS2 programmer to determine all project milestones and deliverables and optimize the development plan. Once milestones are mutually agreed-to and the time needed to build them estimated, it will be the programmer's responsibility to deliver them on-time, as well as report on their progress daily during their development. This is a full-time position that is estimated to last from 6 to 9 months. Compensation is entirely dependent on qualifications and entirely negotiable I welcome all inquiries and look forward to hearing from you: Jon Rosen (818) 703-1957 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if emailing, please include GAO Programmer in the subject line.) ___ 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] Flash 9 CS3 - Key questions
Dear Zeh, Yea, and I've done it before. The way of doing it in flex is a lot more elegant and extremely useful. I just want to make sure that if someone wants to do bitmaps instead of vector they can. for flash 9. Sometimes its just such a pain especially when you have major gradiented designs. I want to make sure of the other points however: - Scale 9 with images - Calling components from a flex to flash movie such as a button or a datagrid -- like they can be used together. I have this really bad feeling that they are totally separate class structures and it will not integrate with the flex framework. I dont know the full data on this though. - And compiler speed, is it now lighting fast - MXML support integration. It would be nice if adobe would shed some light on the above...

[Flashcoders] Hyperlinks in HTML Enabled Text Field: Accessible?
I think I've coded myself into a corner on this, but I'm hoping someone's either found a solution or knows first hand that I'm out of luck. The project I'm working on requires that the user/developer of the swf be able to supply a blurb of text with a list of 1 to n links (text and url). My swf needs to suck in this information from a text/xml file and display it all pretty like and be accessible using keyboard only navigation (this is a tiny part of a larger app). I thought the obvious way to do this would be with an HTML enabled TextField. The user's could type up a simple text file with HTML text and hyperlinks -- HTML is accessible right? I'm hoping I'm missing something stupid here that needs to be done to allow me to move focus to the hyperlink in the TextField to allow the user to follow the link. Am I hopelessly out of luck?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash and video optimisation ....
3rd-party softare, such as Sorenson Squeeze, offer VBR - variable bitrate - which means the bitrate will be higher only if required (high motion, fast movements). You can also adjust parameters such as brightness/contrast and de-interlace the source video, which produces better looking results. You'll end up with a FLV that has a better quality-to-space ratio. It's something the Flash IDE or the Flash Video Encoder don't provide. But for simple and fast compression I use the Flash 8 Video Encoder. It does a great job.
