[Flashcoders] NumericStepper IE Problem
Greetings all,
I've got a form type application in which I use a the NumericStepper
component from Flash 8 professional. We're asking users to rate a
series of items on a 1 to 3 scale. I've set the minimum value for all
instances of the NumericStepper to 0, the maximum value to 3 and the
step size to 1. On entering the frame, the values are set to 0. There's
a forward button which is disabled until all the instances of the
stepper have non-zero values. A listener watches for changes in the
steppers and then updates values in a LoadVars object that I'm using to
pass the results to a PHP script at the end. It's all fairly
straight-forward and working well.
Well, except for a small number (about 1% or so) of users results are
passed as a 0. They all were using Internet Exploder (big surprise
there, huh?). The actionscript code follows. Am I missing something
obvious?
Thanks for any help!
Jim

Re: [Flashcoders] Combined Classes fail Tween Class
Thanks for the feedback guys, let me go back a little to explain why this
behavior. I am trying to implement the MVC Design Pattern to a item. Trying
to do it properly I am creating my Views as classes and now I wanted to
integrate them into my layout.
View 1 Class = menu
View 2 Class = content
Holder loads View 1 and View 2
Now View 1 has animation as well as View 2 and when tested independently
they work great (SWFs) but when they are loaded into the main holder the
last SWF plays leaving the first SWF without any animation. Now the
animation is being handled with AS so there is no animation in the timeline.
Thanks again for the help. Now I'll go back and read the 10 books that cover
the subject :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 9 CS 3 and Flex framework
The main thing on this is if I load in a flash 9 cs3 swf with a textarea created. var t:TextArea; I then try and reference this same text area from flex var text:TextArea = myflashmovie.myClass.getText(); This would create a compiler error as the textarea would be the flex framework and the flash textarea would be the flash components. Not the same object. (This is an assumption as I dont have flash 9 cs3). Of course you can make a wrapper around the textarea object to return only the data you want such as a string, etc. But this is just an extra pain. As an example something in the flex framework's text area has methods that are not in the flash text area. Now you have to write code to accomodate for this. Does this make sense? Best, Austin Muzak wrote: I mainly just want to be able to access components such as a text area and have it work in flex and flash and not have to worry about the kind of text area I'm using if its flex or flash.

Not really, all you need is a class associated with the loaded swf that Flex can communicate with, as I explained in my previous post. It would be nice if there is some brilliant workflow integration to handle this point.

What exaclty do you mean with "return objects".. you mean data, as in Array, ArrayCollection?

[Flashcoders] Exporting alpha channel video from flash
sorry if i posted this before, i asked this question a couple of days ago but never saw it come back in the digest, and it doesn't show up in the archives search. although it did seem someone else recently asked nearly the same question and nobody really knew. so let's try again. i have some animated icons in flash that need to make it into either after effects or avid. in Export Movie i can select QuickTime Video and in the Format box select "32-bit Color (alpha channel)". however, when Importing Footage into After Effects, no matter how i Interpret Footage the swf comes in opaque. so far exporting a .png sequence works, but that is clunky. yes, i know about wmode, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with this. does anybody know the trick? thanks, glenn grant ___ 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'm pretty sure this is NOT in conflict, but still not good practice.
Since target:MovieClip is a variable local to the constructor, you just have
to access the class target:Application by using this.target. In this case,
the class's target:Application variable is never touched and remains
undefined.
var target : Application;
public function Application ( target:MovieClip )
{
trace( target ) // MovieClip
trace( this.target ) // Application

To test the theory, try:

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 9 CS 3 and Flex framework
Thanks David, That helps, however, I meant more of a workflow, like create the animation in flash cs3 and the animation has certain flash components in it, such as a datagrid at the end of the last frame or the flash animation has a few buttons in it on the side, along with other types such as a textarea. I would want to be able to reference these buttons and components from flex ideally or have some really nice work flow that would allow via as3 to reference those components. That way I can make some re-usable animations and use flex for the main structure, but have all of the animation power needed (this includes having buttons, comboboxes, made in flash cs3) directly accessible through flex. I bring this up as I had thought that there would be a problem with flash 9 cs3 NOT using the flex framework directly and the different types of buttons, datagrids would be an entirely different set of code made specifically for flash 9 cs3 (ie the datagrid in cs3 is not the same datagrid as flex). Im not totally tracking on adobe's plan to handle this issue. I'm just trying to see what the plan on the workflow integration between the to. The data on flash 9 cs3 is a bit general on this point so I want to get this clarified. Best, Austin David Mendels wrote: Hello, I am not sure I understand your question perfectly.

Re: [Flashcoders] Combined Classes fail Tween Class
target is a movieclip, this helps me to instantiate the class in the place I
desire
for example:
var upsApp:Application = new Application(this);
var upsApp:Application = new Application(movie1);
var upsApp:Application = new Application(movie2);
Learned that this week :)

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?

[Flashcoders] Combined Classes fail Tween Class
I have a main class that will act as a holder for the rest of my classes,
somethig like this:
//start sample
import com.views.*;
class com.Application {
var menuL: MovieClip;
var contentLL: MovieClip;
var footerL: MovieClip;
var mc : MovieClip;
var target: Application;
public function Application ( target:MovieClip ) {
mc = target;
menuL = mc.createEmptyMovieClip("menuL",
mc.getNextHighestDepth() );
contentLL= mc.createEmptyMovieClip("contentL",
mc.getNextHighestDepth());
contentLL._y = 73;
init();
}
private function init() {
contentLL.loadMovie("intro.swf");
menuL.loadMovie("menu.swf");
}
}
//end sample
The content load perfectly but only the latest movie plays as if the latest
movie stealed all the motion Tweens and used them leaving the first movie
"naked".
Is this something common?

Re: [Flashcoders] Entities are Hell!
My guess is that you were just using the node itself instead of
getting nodeValue (basically using the toString() function). If
that's the case then toString probably gives the raw data in the file,
while using nodeValue does the full conversion of the data in the
node.

Can Flash Media Server 2 take dynamic paths to FLV content? As long as the path exists, then yeah it should be fine. I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly though. Are you saying you'll get a path like below from the CMS? "someserver.com/flash/videos/somefolder/somevideo" If that path exists on the FMS, then it shouldn't be a problem at all. A bit different actually. The CMS system and application we are building is written with Java running on Apache Tomcat. File system paths will be stored like follows: serverURL/fileServlet/filename.flv?GET_ITEM_ID=347&TransformationID=234 So the Flash front-end gets this path from the CMS, correct? If that's the case, then in your Java application, you you then copy the actual flv somewhere like so: "FMS/applications/myApplication/streams/347/filename.flv" With the path you provided, you should be able to rip it apart in Flash and build the correct FMS path from there. Does that help at all? You shouldn't need to setup virtual paths at all. If you do need to setup virtual paths, I believe the FMS has an admin service that you could call from your Server-side AS to add those virtual paths dynamically as needed. John Where the item id is a link to the metadata of the asset stored in a database and the transformation id is the transformed file from that asset. Our servers (flip factory, etc) will generate low res previews and a high res FLV from the original asset, which is mpeg-2. I can probably build a direct path on the HD to the file, but from what I gather, you need to edit virtual paths in FMS for it to recognize the location of the files. I can't do this because each 'asset' is a collection of files, including the FLV I want to stream. Each asset is a folder basically and there may be lots of 'em - 10s of thousands. I don't know. Maybe it's server-side AS that grabs the path from the client side application (also flash) and somehow uses it to retrieve and stream the file. This is definitely unchartered AS territory for me. I'm testing the dev edition of FMS to get a grips on whether or not it'll be best for the job. Red5 or some other tomcat-type installation of a streaming server may be a better selection as I look into it more. thanks, 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 ___ 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] One more AS3 question!
Ben you're doing the right thing by having MyClass contain the clip you load rather than extend it. You can't cast a MovieClip (or any object) to a new type that's lower in the class hierarchy than the original object. Doug -Original Message- From: ben gomez farrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 9:11 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] One more AS3 question! So, I was wondering if there's anyway to do this I have some graphics in my SWF. I'm embedding them and compiling with the Flex SDK. The graphics are coming in as MovieClips, but I want a little more functionality, so I'd like to extend the clip and encapsulate that additional functionality in a class. I've discovered the magic of typing something as I can bring in a movieclip and do a var mynewsprite:Sprite = mymovieclip as Sprite. But I actually want to type something "up". With type "as" I can only type something as something the object extends from. I can type a movieclip as a sprite or a display object. I want to take my movieclip instance from the library (I don't want to specify a class name, because I'd prefer to avoid the Flash alpha compiler and just do everything in the Flex SDK). I want to bring that movieclip onto the stage and magically make it a MyClass movieclip (where MyClass extends movieclip). For now I'm just working around it by passing it into MyClass, and not making MyClass extend anything, just keeping the movieclip as a variable to use in the class. Anyway, I know I'm being really picky (don't want to specify a class, don't want workarounds), it's really for learning purposes rather than "I need this done right now!!!"

RE: [Flashcoders] Preloading FLV with NetStream
The PreloadAssetManager class simply preloads your assets into your browser's cache; it is not meant to be used for playback or managing your FLVs once they're preloaded. There's nothing special that you need to do in order to access the preloaded FLVs - just call them as you normally would either using a NetStream object of your own or an FLVPlayback component or whatever. The user's browser will be smart enough to used the cached FLVs instead of going out to the web and downloading them again. You might want to search the Flash Help files for NetStream or FLVPlayback.

Re: [Flashcoders] eolas fix for IE7
solved: the problem was with a corrupt flash player. i've implemented the fix as you described below, Jason, and i also implemented the swfobject fix. they both work. my computer was on the fritz and ended up passing away this morning and i'm back on a new one and all is working as expected. thanks for everyone's input and responses. matt. - Original Message - From: "Merrill, Jason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 9:52 AM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] eolas fix for IE7 You might want to try ObjectSwap - http://blog.neo-archaic.net/2006/04/25/objectswap.htm If all you want to do is circumvent the EOLAS patent issue, and don't care about player detection (and maybe if IE7 is hosing Flash player detection, you don't WANT to worry about it :) ), then just write an external .js file which writes out the Flash embed tags into your HTML page.

Re: [Flashcoders] Entities are Hell!
Hello,
You could check if your XML file is UTF-8 encoded.
Then, if it still isn't working (it should...), you could try to put
the text in a CDATA tag:

Re: [Flashcoders] simple code- should work but is not.
Thanks for all your help. i put the wineback_btn in the first frame and set
the _visible to false and that works.
yeah, wasn't sure if this problem belonged in flashcoders. will send to
flashnewbies next time. thanks for helping regardless.
On 4/3/07, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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.

Andrew,
nodeValue works! I don't even have to convert the special characters to
entities to have it display correctly. Thanks very much.

RE: [Flashcoders] Entities are Hell!
You need to decode the entities first.
function decodeEntities(entityString:String):String
{
var x:XML = new XML(""+entityString+"");
x.parseXML();
return x.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;

This:
theClip.txt.text = xmlNode.firstChild.firstChild;
...should be:
theClip.txt.htmlText = xmlNode.firstChild.firstChild;
Better:
theClip.txt.htmlText =

Even better:

You can preload FLVs with the NetStream and even see how big the FLV file is as long as you've encoded it properly so that it has MetaData. I know that if you do your compression in Sorenson Squeeze it'll inject the MetaData for you, and I think most other tools do the same automatically. Check out the PreloadAssetManager class which will handle all the preloading for you including reporting the percent loaded: http://www.greensock.com/ActionScript/PreloadAssetManager Jack -Original Message- Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2007 12:56:36 +1000 From: Stephen Ford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Flashcoders] Video delivery process ...

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash and video optimisation ....
Yes. There is a way to On2 VP6 with FFmpeg. I found this article when I needed to do automatic video encoding from a drop folder. http://sh0dan.blogspot.com/2006/09/command-line-flash-8-flv-encoding.html Otherwise I use Sorenson Squeeze 4. It has the Sorenson Pro Codec which is really nice if you need to publish to Flash 7+. It can only do On2 VP6 nicely too.

Are you saying you'll get a path like below from the CMS? "someserver.com/flash/videos/somefolder/somevideo" If that path exists on the FMS, then it shouldn't be a problem at all. A bit different actually. The CMS system and application we are building is written with Java running on Apache Tomcat. File system paths will be stored like follows: serverURL/fileServlet/filename.flv?GET_ITEM_ID=347&TransformationID=234 Where the item id is a link to the metadata of the asset stored in a database and the transformation id is the transformed file from that asset. Our servers (flip factory, etc) will generate low res previews and a high res FLV from the original asset, which is mpeg-2. I can probably build a direct path on the HD to the file, but from what I gather, you need to edit virtual paths in FMS for it to recognize the location of the files. I can't do this because each 'asset' is a collection of files, including the FLV I want to stream. Each asset is a folder basically and there may be lots of 'em - 10s of thousands. I don't know. Maybe it's server-side AS that grabs the path from the client side application (also flash) and somehow uses it to retrieve and stream the file. This is definitely unchartered AS territory for me. I'm testing the dev edition of FMS to get a grips on whether or not it'll be best for the job. Red5 or some other tomcat-type installation of a streaming server may be a better selection as I look into it more. thanks, 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

[Flashcoders] Crossdomain Syntax Highlighter
Hello, I'm working on the Syntax Highlighter pilot project. I want to offer it as a part of Google Code Search service or as a parallel separate service, so I sent a few mails to Google team; absolutely no feedback followed. May be someone among flashcoders has a contact in Google, so he could retrieve a bit of a feedback? To see the project running (for now, PC only; latest versions of IE, FF and Opera) open the following links in different browser windows, and tile them on your screen to see both: http://syntaxhighlighter.artlebedev.com/ActionScript2.html - settings manager http://bezier.ru/SyntaxHighlighter/ -sample page Try setting highlight options and see them being applied to the code sample. What you see as the highlight sample for ActionScript 2 code. The highlight model is defined by an XML file, and adding models for other languages is pretty easy. Please note: these pages reside in different domains and are opened in different browser windows (that also could be the windows of different browsers). Developers are used to their favorite IDE and to the way it highlights the code. This project is about enabling them to set the code highlight style for the web sites they visit. Once a developer sets his highlight preferences on Syntax Highlighter settings page, he will see them applied to all the sites that support Syntax Highlighter system. The web masters get the clean and simple way of publishing source code (see sample page source code). If Google starts a service like that, this code highlight mechanics will soon become a web publishing standard and software manufacturers will support it (this would be especially useful for JavaDoc generators and code editors). Thus Google Code Search service gets promoted by all the sites, that support Syntax Highlighter. What's more, owing to this highlighting standard, Google Code Search will get the possibility to easily detect the source programming language and license type. I'm planning to implement license type setting for webmaster who uses Syntax Highlighting system. The pilot project was created to merely show that such a system is possible and may run seamlessly. For now the system is missing some features including: - saving named user presets - named presets ratings - default presets for various languages - statistics and counters - exporting/importing of presets - toolbar design management (including icon sets) - and others Should you have any questions concerning Syntax Highlighter system, please contact me.

RE: [Flashcoders] import own class (use SOME_CONST instead ofMyUtils.SOME_CONST)
The problem is that those properties are in another Class, and that's how
you have to reference them. You do have a few choices.
//
// VAR
//
The first is probably NOT what you want to hear - make a variable for each
of the constants.
import com.project.MyClass
var CONSTANT = MyClass.some_CONSTANT;
trace( CONSTANT );
//
// IMPORT
//
The second is the most obvious and something you've already done - resolve
the path with import. Import really only gets rid of the directories in dot
notation form so you can call it by name and not have to use the path.
Without import:
trace( com.project.MyClass.some_CONSTANT )
With import:
import com.project.MyClass.some_CONSTANT
trace( MyClass.some_CONSTANT )
//
// INCLUDE
//
The third is to define the variables before hand in a separate .as file and
include them ( like the VAR example above). This is really just a way of
compartmentalizing the code and doesn't really solve the issue. You're just
storing part of your code in another file and it's including that code when
it runs - I a lot like html includes.
In classInclude.as:
import com.project.MyClass;
var CONSTANT = MyClass.some_CONSTANT;
in OtherClass.as:
#include "classInclude.as"
trace( CONSTANT )
//
// COPY
//
The forth is to copy the properties from one Class to another. But this is
obviously not the best way to go for a number of reasons.
import com.project.MyClass
for ( var prop in MyClass )
{
this [ prop ] = myClass[ prop ];
}
//
// GETTERS / SETTERS
//
The fifth adds a little bulk in the beginning, but let's you retrieve
variables in a more condensed way using getters and setters - my favorite.
// VER 1 - AS 1.0 approach
import com.project.MyClass
function getCONSTANT (){ return MyClass.some_CONSTANT };
this.addProperty ('CONSTANT', getCONSTANT, null ); // set getter / setter
trace( CONSTANT )
// VER 2 - AS 2.0 approach
import com.project.MyClass
public function get CONSTANT (){ return MyClass.some_CONSTANT }
public function myFunction(){ trace( CONSTANT ) }

Subject: [Flashcoders] import own class (use SOME_CONST instead
ofMyUtils.SOME_CONST)
Hi,
I'd like to move few constants and functions my project is using
into a separate class, called Util. How could I please make them
"importable", i.e. so that I could write just
import Util;
trace(SOME_CONSTANT);
instead of always prepending "Util." in front of the variables:
trace(Util.SOME_CONSTANT)
I can't find it in the Flash help... Thank you
Also I wonder if I can run some function on the import statement
or do I have to always call Util.init_my_static_vars() manually?
Regards
Alex

RE: [Flashcoders] If statements combined into one
// RUN
function runOnce ( id )

// CHECK
function runCheck ( id )

if ( doneOnce [ '_' + id ] == undefined )

doneOnce [ '_' + id ] = true;
doneOnce.func.apply (null, arguments);

Subject: [Flashcoders] If statements combined into one
insted of :
bigFunction() {
once1 = true;
if (once1 == true) {
dothisonce();
once1 = false;
}
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?
