Re: [Flashcoders] Microsoft Silverlight ...
I'm going to throw a wild guess out and say that once the penetration begins Silverfast will be to PC users what quicktime is to mac users... (meaning it will be used by most PC users, but not as many mac users). With the Microsoft backing, it will no doubt at some point be part of IE and be included in Windows Updates. If you're a fluent actionscript developer, it will be even more job opportunities which is a good thing - as long as you're open minded to learning it. It will attract more developers that currently use Visual Studio/MS developer products. It's early days yet, the developer application isn't out in public and the MS push has not even begun.

RE: [Flashcoders] flash and Arabic
We tried the following: (we're embedding fonts in all cases, also we don't have require any input fields...we're just displaying Arabic) If you don't mind poor antialiasing, you could try not embedding the font - this fixes all the problems you mention, for dynamic text. -Copied Arabic text into a static text field...flash actually reverses the characters. So we copied reversed text a static field. Then when we published, it seems that the characters were not being displayed correctly. An arabic reader took a look at it and told us that the arabic characters didn't connect to each other correctly! It's as if you took English script characters and broke them apart! This quite surprises me, I'd have thought static would work fine. You could try breaking apart the text once you've pasted it in, this should stop Flash messing about with it. We then tried a few more experiments... - copy and pasted Arabic text (normal order) into a dynamic field...flash flipped it. But when you publish it for Player 8, the order of the text is correct, but the characters looked disjointed again. -We published it for Player 7 and this time everything looked perfect. The order of the text was correct and the characters looked connected!!! We basically have all the text assets in a separate .swf (published for Player 7) and we're using it as a runtime shared library. Our main app is published as Player 8. Has anyone else seen this? Am I not doing something right here? I'm shocked that support for Arabic (and I'm assuming other RTL languages) took a step backwards from Player 7 to Player 8. I wonder what it is in Player 9. Arabic is different from other RTL scripts (well, Hebrew anyway, which is the only other one I know about) in that it's cursive. Hebrew doesn't suffer from this complication, so all you have to worry about is bidirectionality. All the problems you give, especially variations across Flash versions, browsers, operating systems etc, were why we ended up going down the 'complete control' route. My system does the whole thing manually, including BiDi, cursive variations, ligatures and line breaking. It's not easy, although there was a certain satisfaction in it :) 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

The circumstances of the particular project I am quoting for would require the content to be almost exclusively off-line, diskbased, and to be used in a class room environment.

Re: [Flashcoders] preloader and cacheing problem
In general Flash has no control over caching, it will depend on the browser's settings. However there is a commonly used method for forcing download on each request (not only in Flash movies) and avoiding content stored in the cache: this is appending a unique parameter to the URL on each request (preferably a timestamp). E.g.: http://foo.com/flash.swf?2313434324 http://foo.com/flash.swf?5465654645 http://foo.com/flash.swf?6564645556 etc. Probably your Flash movie uses this method.

Hi Friends,
I have developed the following script for scrolling

The script is working fine. I just wanted to know is it
consuming lot of memory? Because when I load this movie onto
another movie. The first movie become slower.
Yes: you're doing an awful lot of createEmptyMovieClips:
leftmenu_downbtn.onRollOver = function(){
scrollingspeed = 4;
leftscrollup=true;
leftscrolling_fn();
}
function leftscrolling_fn(){
var test =
this.createEmptyMovieClip(test,this.getNextHighestDepth());
...
}
Looks to me like you should move the creation of your test movieClip out
of
the leftscrolling_fn function.

[Flashcoders] Problems extending the WebServiceConnector Class
Hi there, this is my first post so hi everyone:)
I am trying to extend the WSC Class into a class that will call a web
service at a set interval so i can just create an instance of it in
any of my movies and a listener and it will just keep sending info to
the web service or trying to retrieve information from it. I am
trying to access the super class of my custom class to set the vars
but I cant seem to get it to work, plus the ws only triggers once and
then doesn't seem to trigger again although the sendLog function is
called.
if anyone has any ideas, I would be really glad to hear them.
Thanks :)

Hi John,
this shouldn't actually happen, unless the url to the SWF that's being
loaded in is modified to make it 'unique' each time the swf is loaded. That
can be done, for example, by appending a random number to the end, so you
get urls like myfile.swf?0.123347575.
This might have been the intention of the original developer, I guess.
Other than that, the swf should be cached. You could also post the loading
code, that might shed further light on the issue.

clips
remain

{
trace( _root[prop]._name ); // traces the

These freaking clips stick around for some reason. ???

Re: [Flashcoders] Weird removeMovieClip problem
Hi Eric,
i often got the same problem, which I usually resolve with these
basic rules :
- when creating MCs inside a loop, first create an empty movieClip
before the loop to contain the other clips :
var containerMc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip
(containerMc, 10);
for (var i=0;i3;i++)
{
var clip:MovieClip = containerMc.attachMovie()
}
then, when you need to remove them, juste invoke
containerMc.removeMovieClip();
- do not use getNextHighestDepth()
- keep on _root a manageable array of attached MCs
- do not attach on _root.
The weird thing is, using your script on an almost empty movie, the
removeMovieClip method works allright...
maybe you can try using _level0 instead of _root, or try the
container trick above.
Hope this helps,
Gilles

[Flashcoders] Why does this work?!
I just realized that there are a number of switch statements in my
code which probably shouldn't work, yet appear to, and I'm wondering
why.
Here's a really simple example. I have a class that tracks the
connection state of my app, with the following values used as the
states (read-only attributes simulating constants):
public static function get CONNECTED():String { return CONNECTED; }
public static function get FAILURE():String { return FAILURE; }
public static function get NOT_CONNECTED():String { return NOT_CONNECTED; }
In the code that lets you set the state to a particular value it does
a sanity check to make sure the state value is one that's expected
(since in theory the user could provide any string value):
public function setConnectionState(cs:String):Void {
switch(cs) {
case ConnectionState.CONNECTED:
case ConnectionState.FAILURE:
case ConnectionState.NOT_CONNECTED:
break;
default:
cs = ConnectionState.NOT_CONNECTED;
break;
}
this._connectionState = cs;
}
Now in Java switch statements must use constants for the case values.
You can do something like I just did, but the variables being
referenced must be declared final (so the compiler knows they won't
change). There isn't any equivalent to this in Flash (I simulate
constants by doing read only properties), so why does the case
statement work? Does flash actually execute the stuff after the
'case' keyword? What happens if multiple of those things return the
same value (for instance, say both CONNECTED and FAILURE returned
foo)?

Yes you can do this, and flash will execute the first matching case

Re: [Flashcoders] Why does this work?!
Hello :)
in AS2 you can create constants with the ASSetProgFlags global method :
public static var CONNECTED:String = CONNECTED ;
public static var FAILURE:String= FAILURE ;
public static var NOT_CONNECTED:String = NOT_CONNECTED;
private static var __ASPF__ = _global.ASSetPropFlags( ConnectionState ,
null , 7, 7 ) ;
ConnectionState is the name of your enumeration static class :)
For me.. your code is ok :
public function setConnectionState(cs:String):Void
{
switch(cs)
{
case ConnectionState.CONNECTED :
case ConnectionState.FAILURE :
{
break;
}
default :
{
cs = ConnectionState.NOT_CONNECTED ;
}
}
this._connectionState = cs ;
}
EKA+ :)

Re: [Flashcoders] preloader and cacheing problem
What's the value that replaces +file+? That's where the unique
identifier would appear if there was one, but that would just handle
the preloader file.
If you have the FLA for the preloader movie then you should be able to
take a look at the code and see if it's appending a unique identifier
to the lager movie's URL as well. You'll need to dig through the code
to find it, but look for things like 'loadMovie' or 'MovieClipLoader'

Hi John,
this shouldn't actually happen, unless the url to the SWF that's being
loaded in is modified to make it 'unique' each time the swf is loaded. That
can be done, for example, by appending a random number to the end, so you
get urls like myfile.swf?0.123347575.
This might have been the intention of the original developer, I guess.
Other than that, the swf should be cached. You could also post the loading
code, that might shed further light on the issue.

Re: [Flashcoders] [semi-OT] - Preventing Software Piracy
Nik, I missed the beginning of this thread (on vacation), so forgive me if I misunderstand the premises... but we've had a good experience using CrypKey Instant to wrap applications (http://www.crypkey.com/), which then require a software key to unlock for specific machine(s) only (it allows transfer of that license to another machine). CrypKey provides various solutions-- such as free (timed or usage) trials, network licensing, etc... We've had good experiences with tech support as well. The only gotcha with Flash is that you may have to embed it in a Director shell to wrap it. I forget why, but stand-alone Flash Projectors didn't work-- although maybe they do now (there's been a new release). --Dave The circumstances of the particular project I am quoting for would require the content to be almost exclusively off-line, diskbased, and to be used in a class room environment. So I explicitly do not want to rely in any way on authentiofication over on-line resources, as this will open up a minefield of getting it through various school, college and corporate fierwalls.

RE: [Flashcoders] Weird removeMovieClip problem

Flash Player 9 r45 executable
AS2
I am attaching 3 movieclips, then later need to remove them. No dice. This
seems SO noob, but its not happening:
for( var i=0; i3; i++)
{
var clip:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie( object_3D, object_3D_ + i,
i+40 );
// other normal stuff
}
then later I run this function:
killCamera = function():Void
{
for( var i=0; i3; i++ )
{
_root[object_3D_+i].removeMovieClip(); //Does nothing... clips
remain
}
// Hmm... lets try this make sure they are really there:
for (prop in _root)
{
if( typeof( _root[prop] ) == movieclip )
{
if( _root[prop]._name.indexOf(object_3D) != -1 )
{
trace( _root[prop]._name ); // traces the instance
name just fine...
_root[prop].removeMovieClip(); // Does nothing...
}
}
}
};
These freaking clips stick around for some reason. ???

Re: [Flashcoders] [semi-OT] - Preventing Software Piracy
This is not a bad comment. What I gather that he is saying is that we are perhaps looking for a technical solution when we should be looking at the source of the need. If you believe that your customers will steal from you and try to make money from redistributing your product behind your back, then getting better customers is a better solution. If you think that potential customers will base their businesses on stolen goods, you probably should look at a different market or take the Microsoft approach If they are going to steal software, I want them to steal mine - Bill Gates If every potential customer steals your product and you come to dominate the market in your area, you will find lots of lawyers ready to help you collect your rightful license fees plus damages. In the meantime, make sure that your license agreement and contracts are clear. You are permitting use - not transferring ownership. The conditions under which they can use the product should be clear and the fact that they can not make copies or redistribute it (for free or for profit) should be in the license that they sign.

Re: [Flashcoders] [semi-OT] - Preventing Software Piracy
Dongles would be pretty hard to control in a classroom. 1)They would disappear (practical jokes or wanting to run the software on different machines and not returning them, etc.). 2)The administration of many sets of dongles required to support different applications would make the Tech support people reject products that require them in a classroom setting. 3)Replacing lost dongles for legitimate customers would make the administrative burden for the software/courseware supplier much larger.

Re: [Flashcoders] Why does this work?!
Oh, the code is OK, and it works. I'm just surprised Flash lets you
have case statements with non-constant values. Since the case values
are actually functions that are evaluated it's possible that you can
have multiple case statements of the same value. I'm not used to
languages/compilers allowing those situations.

Hello :)
in AS2 you can create constants with the ASSetProgFlags global method :
public static var CONNECTED:String = CONNECTED ;
public static var FAILURE:String= FAILURE ;
public static var NOT_CONNECTED:String = NOT_CONNECTED;
private static var __ASPF__ = _global.ASSetPropFlags( ConnectionState ,
null , 7, 7 ) ;
ConnectionState is the name of your enumeration static class :)
For me.. your code is ok :
public function setConnectionState(cs:String):Void
{
switch(cs)
{
case ConnectionState.CONNECTED :
case ConnectionState.FAILURE :
{
break;
}
default :
{
cs = ConnectionState.NOT_CONNECTED ;
}
}
this._connectionState = cs ;
}
EKA+ :)
2007/4/17, Andy Herrman [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I just realized that there are a number of switch statements in my
code which probably shouldn't work, yet appear to, and I'm wondering
why.
Here's a really simple example. I have a class that tracks the
connection state of my app, with the following values used as the
states (read-only attributes simulating constants):
public static function get CONNECTED():String { return CONNECTED; }
public static function get FAILURE():String { return FAILURE; }
public static function get NOT_CONNECTED():String { return
NOT_CONNECTED; }
In the code that lets you set the state to a particular value it does
a sanity check to make sure the state value is one that's expected
(since in theory the user could provide any string value):
public function setConnectionState(cs:String):Void {
switch(cs) {
case ConnectionState.CONNECTED:
case ConnectionState.FAILURE:
case ConnectionState.NOT_CONNECTED:
break;
default:
cs = ConnectionState.NOT_CONNECTED;
break;
}
this._connectionState = cs;
}
Now in Java switch statements must use constants for the case values.
You can do something like I just did, but the variables being
referenced must be declared final (so the compiler knows they won't
change). There isn't any equivalent to this in Flash (I simulate
constants by doing read only properties), so why does the case
statement work? Does flash actually execute the stuff after the
'case' keyword? What happens if multiple of those things return the
same value (for instance, say both CONNECTED and FAILURE returned
foo)?

RE: [Flashcoders] [semi-OT] - Preventing Software Piracy
I can make a cheap, cryptographically secure USB or Serial dongle no problem. However, the issue with any kind of software-based security is that once the software is on a client's machine, the client can do whatever he wants with it; modify it not to use the dongle. But you CAN make it a serious pain in the ass. In unmanaged languages like C, it is especially helpful to make the program inherently incapable of running without the dongle -- by using the dongle to perform some essential calculation that isn't in your program, or by sending the dongle pieces of your program's code to verify that it's been unaltered. Sometimes making a checksum of your own code works, but then sometimes a hacker can use your own checksum algorithm to hack in a new checksum... ...so how far do you want to go with this? - Kipp Hi Weyert, Can a dongle easily be circumvented then?

Re: [Flashcoders] [semi-OT] - Preventing Software Piracy
Hi Kipp, that sounds exactly like the strategies recommended to me by the Aladdin guys, and their manuals. And it also sounds logical to me. The question to me is now whether I can tie a dongle into actions script and then e.g. obfuscate the code to a high enough degree that it would be above the pain level of most crackers hackers and pirates. I do understand that it is impossible to create something bullet proof, but some big pain in the ass is what (and I guess most) developers are after. At least it prevents the layman user from just making a copy for their colleague, etc. Nik C On 4/17/07, Michael Mudge [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can make a cheap, cryptographically secure USB or Serial dongle no problem.

RE: [Flashcoders] [semi-OT] - Preventing Software Piracy
If you want to verify that a genuine dongle is present, that's easy, but I have no idea how you would communicate with the dongle from ActionScript... You would almost definitely have to use an external program. I can think of a few Flash-drive-like dongle designs, but the development cost may be very near the development cost of your entire application. Honestly, the best thing might be to go with a commercial anti-piracy package. These packages have already had the cost distributed over multiple sales. You won't have to reinvent the wheel, and you will have a reasonable balance between price and effectiveness. Now that the topic has come up though, I just might persue making such a dongle...

Re: [Flashcoders] positioning a movie clip called from loadMovieNum
Gustavo,
that's because you set the _x and _y without knowing whether POA.swf is
already downloaded or not. Firstly, it's better using createEmptyMovieClip
methods for referencing any clip on stage. the same situation also works well
for attachMovieMethod. as for AC 2.0:
//===
var depth:Number = this.getNextHighestDepth();
var poaMovie:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(loader_mc, depth)
//==
if you insist to load using loadMovieNum method, then u should load poa.swf
into poaMovie variables, which now hold the reference to newly created mc named
loader_mc.
to control the event, MovieClip Loader class will give you more control to
the loading and unloading process of your application.
var depth:Number = this.getNextHighestDepth();
var poaMovie:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(loader_mc, depth)
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mclLoader.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
if(success){
//now you ready to play with the mc
poaMovie._x=-100;
poaMovie._y=20;
}
}
mclLoader.loadClip(POA.swf, poaMovie);
hope that will help
