Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader ...
That was already in the sample code I posted.
Here's another example:
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class com.muzakdeezign.samples.Test extends MovieClip {
// decorate class with EventDispatcher
private static var dispatcherInit =
EventDispatcher.initialize(com.muzakdeezign.samples.Test.prototype);
// declare EvenDispatcher methods
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
public var dispatchEvent:Function;

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 9 CS 3 and Flex framework

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?

Re: [Flashcoders] Question: FMS 2 and CMS managed FLV files
On Apr 4, 2007, at 2:54 PM, john robinson wrote: 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 That's one problem I have to overcome. The files that FMS would read (or any streaming solution that can run alongside Tomcat) cannot be copied to some 'streaming' directory. We're talking about hundreds of hours of broadcast footage that need to be organized in a specific way. The paths would need to be dynamically generated by the CMS and those paths fed to the streaming server. 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. I thought of doing some server-side AS but then I run into the problem that each separate asset is contained in a separate folder along with all it's transformations - thumbnails, 00:00:10 FLV previews, storyboard jpg sequences, etc. I'd hate to have to add virtual paths all over the place. Anyhow, I think my question at this point is probably well OT for the list so I'll see if I can find a FMS list or something where I can pose the question. I've never used FMS (from an administrative standpoint) so it'll be an interesting learning experience. thanks for the help john. 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] NetStream.play() - Start parameter
Hi,
If you want to start playing at 10 seconds you have to first, buffer your
video to 10 seconds. (or 15)
wait for your buffer to be full, then do your seek operation.
That is if you're doing it as a progressive download. If you stream using
FMS or something like it, FMS will automatically handle the pre-buffering
and notify you when it's ready.
bufferTime(15) //buffer the video to 15 seconds
//create your netStream blah blah
nc= //net connection, you know the drill
//bla blah blah
myNetStream_ns = new NetStream(nc)
//
myNetStream_ns.onStatus(infoObj:Object){
for (var prop in infoObject)
{
if (infoObject[prop] == NetStream.Buffer.Full)
{
//buffer has enough data now seek
myNetStream_ns.seek(10)
}
if (infoObject[prop] == NetStream.Buffer.Empty)
{
// you can handle loading issues here. if the buffer runs empty
means the progressive d/l is too slow.
}
if (infoObject[prop] == NetStream.Play.Stop)
{
// know when it stops
}
}
}
also when you run the seek() call the invalid time return also gives you the
last valid time you can set up a handler to automatically seek to the last
valid time that way.

[Flashcoders] Anti-aliased text in components
I'm trying to make the text inside all macromedia components to be
Anti-aliased. This has proven to be quite difficult. I would rather
have a class that takes care of all of it, so here's what I have so far:
class net.imageplant.AntiAliaser
{
private static var _arrChecked:Array;
public static function antiAlias(mc:MovieClip,
bContinue:Boolean):Void
{
if (!bContinue)
{
_arrChecked = new Array();
}
for (var i:String in mc)
{
if (mc[i] instanceof TextField
!checkChecked(mc[i]))
{
_arrChecked.push(mc[i]);
mc[i].antiAliasType =
advanced;
}
else if (mc[i] instanceof Object
!checkChecked(mc[i]))
{
_arrChecked.push(mc[i]);
antiAlias(mc[i], true);
}
}
}
private static function checkChecked(mc:MovieClip):Boolean
{
var nMcs:Number = _arrChecked.length;
var bChecked:Boolean = false;
for (var i:Number = 0; i nMcs; i++)
{
if (_arrChecked[i] == mc)
{
bChecked = true;
}
}
return bChecked;
}
}
I have only tested it on a List component so far, and it does not work.
I can't even figure out where the actual TextFields are in a List
component. How could MM overlook this? The components are useless when
you can't match the text to the rest of your app...any ideas/help?
TIA,
Randy Tinfow and Mike Randolph

Re: [Flashcoders] games dev books
I'm currently using Flash 8 Professional Game Development. Highly recommend it. Very good examples and very easy to read. Covers a lot of topics from graphics production, design documents, to building some pretty advanced engines. The chapters on tile based games are excellent, and you'll end up with a professional quality tile engine. - On 4/5/07, geng wang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I used 'Macromedia Flash MX Game Design Demystified' by Jobe Markar.

Re: [Flashcoders] Combined Classes fail Tween Class
The reason for my problem was that I was declaring the same identifier name
inside the movies that were loading. My logic was saying that if they were
being loaded in different levels and targets that this wouldnt be an issue
but I was mistaking.
Thanks again for the help and pointers.

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 :)

Jason -
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:
target = 5;
function traceTargets ( target:String )
{
trace( target ) // a_string
trace( this.target ) // 5
}
traceTargets ( 'a_string' );

Re: [Flashcoders] creatTextField Help
When embedFonts=true, you must manually embed the font(s) in a
textfield -- either the one referred to in your text, or a dummy
field. It can be offstage but it has to be present.

Re: [Flashcoders] creatTextField Help
Try throwing some trace statements in there to see if things are being
instantiated correctly.
Specifically, after the createEMptyMovieClip try:
trace(_root.Art_MC);
and after the createTextField() call, try adding this:
trace(_root.Art_MC[Art_Txt]);
It's possible something isn't being created and you've got some
undefined values.
You might also want to check out Xray (http://osflash.org/xray). It's
helped me when having issues like this before, as you can look at
exactly what exists at runtime.

however, when i execute the movie, no errors but the font is just a

I've wasted a good deal of time today trying to throw a ScrollPane in there and getting it to work properly, but the automatic resizing ScrollPane does is causing me angina.

You can use recursion and hope that you don't end up with circular

Re: [Flashcoders] Enumerating properties from outside an instance.
Hello :)
Your object is a primitive object ? or a object with custom instance inside
?
Do you use AS2 classes in your code ?
Try the ASSetPropFlags global function to destroy the protection of the
object :
var ref = this.someNestedInstance ;
trace( + ref) ;
_global.ASSetPropFlags( ref , null, 0, 1) ;
for (var property:String in ref)
{
trace(property) ;
}
You can test the attribute of the properties of your object with my class
Attribute :

function loopMe(target:Object):Void
{
trace('-- looping through: ' + target + '--');
for (var s:String in target) {
trace(s + ': ' + target[s]);
for (var t:String in target) {
trace('\t' + t + ': ' + target[s][t]);
}
}
}
loopMe(myMC);

Thanks John,
My loop is even simpler. I failed to mention that I need to examine nested
MovieClip instances for functions. Variables seem to appear as expected,
but
functions only appear for the current scope. Very strange.
Works as expected:
for (var propertyIdentifier:String in this)
{
trace(propertyIdentifier);
}
Does not work as expected:
for (var propertyIdentifier:String in this.someNestedInstance)
{
trace(propertyIdentifier);
}

You can do it; you must have an error in your code.
for (var prop:String in clip)
{
var subObject:Object = clip[prop];
for (var otherProp:String in subObject)
{
trace(otherProp + : + subObject[otherProp]);
}
}
It should look like that, but not horrible.

I can't figure this out.
I can set up a for...in loop to show me all the
(enumerable) properties -- variables and functions -- on the
MovieClip instance where I place the loop, but I can't
enumerate properties for other (nested) MovieClip instances
by simply changing the focus object of that same for...in loop.
Why not?
If I move the enumerating loop into the nested clips it
works as expected.
