[Flashcoders] Preloader in Flash CS3 with AS3?
Hi folks, How do you implement a preloader with AS3 in Flash CS3? I don't mean a preloader that loads additional files but a preloader that preloads the SWF that the preloader is part of. I'm a bit puzzled about this right now as you cannot easily access bytesLoaded/bytesTotal anymore without the Loader class. As far as I can see it we still have to deal with the export-into-frame-1 problem so all exported assets have to go into frame 2 or beyond and the preloader situation would be still similar like in AS2/AS1. Any ideas? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hiddenresource.corewatch.net/ ___ 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] Creating Buttons with dynamic labels
hi John, the trick is to make invisible buttons stacked ontop of another layer where you have dynamic text fields. the invisible button is set to be the same height/width as the text field [with code you can make it match the text's width/height if its dynamic], and then with code you can assign the dynamic text field the text you want at run time. you shouldn't place the text and the button in the same button object. what you have it is a movie clip that inside of it has a text layer, and a button layer. you can then duplicate this item from the library at run time. alternatively you can create them at runtime with code too, then you would only need to have the invisible button in the library, it all depends on your total architecture[/coding] style. if you are not seeing text, it could also be an embed fonts issue, as flash is really a pain when it comes to that, it wants very particular settings and then it will work just fine. to isolate if its an embed issue or not, you can always set the field's embed value to false' which will make it show [unformatted] text, but at least then you know its actually receiving the *.text value you are passing it. hope this helps! John Trentini wrote: Hi folks, Can 'button's be created with a label (textField) that can be updated dynamically? I have tried but the dynamic text, not only i could not get it to change but it does not recognise the mouse, in spite of having the 'selected' property set to false. Can this be done? I want to build a menu made up of just lables (the names of the various sections to navigate to) with the info (the text) to be dynamically uploaded from an external file. I thought I could just use the array._length to attach as many buttons as there are entries and then use the array elements to populate their labels. Any tips? Ideally I would have preferred to be able to create the button entirely with actionScript but may be I am asking the impossible?

RE: [Flashcoders] flowcharting
OpenOffice has a nice drawing tool with all of the flowcharting symbols defined. www.openoffice.org You can colour and shade them to your hearts content. If you want to look at alternatives, I'm a fan of SmartDraw, which is good for mocking up interfaces as well. For flow charts specifically, I remember using WizFlow as a decent cheap programme.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: OOP: design patterns: multiple MVCs?
Hi Ron! Thanks for the advice, I think I solved it by removing the 2 MCV's and just making nested classes within the view. http://www.chedal.org/temp/uml_idea_02.png State machines are quite interesting, and I think I'll use that form of logic with switch-case statements inside of the PageBuilder class. Thanks for the reference! The program I am using for the charts is OmniGraffle, which I think is Mac only. :P With kind, Sebastian. Ron Wheeler wrote: Nice diagram ;-) could be designed with several Model-View-Controller rings in it Without getting too deep into your application, it looks like might want to think about a Controller with set of nested state machines inside. From what you wrote, it seems that this is where you are headed without using the words State machine. If you can take a look at a State Machine Design Pattern, you will likely find the ideas that you need to implement, elegantly laid out We have done this is a complex ActionScript application and the State machine in the Controller really simplified how we thought about the Controller and eventually the implementation was fairly straightforward and has survived a few years of maintenance and improvements without collapsing or requiring major rewrites to handle new functionality. Adding new states is easy and usually has no impact on existing state (just the transition routes). The control functions inside each state override the defaults (Interface methods) and impose their own behaviour. If you press next in Starting of Chapter state, you get different behaviour than you do when you press Next in Administering Test state. (Ours is an eLearning delivery system). The top level of the controller only has to manage its state and make sure that event is dispatched to the current state object. When the controller starts, it builds its state engine(instantiates the state objects), sets up the View, sets the initial state and waits. I hope that this helps.

But I am not sure what would be the best practice to connect them together... or if MVC is even the best way to go? In a nut shell here is what my application does: An 3D interface moves with the mouse around the screen. When you click on an item, it expands to show you some info [sometimes an flv]. If you click on more info button, you zoom into the 3D navigation item and the flash view pane gets filled exclusively with information about this navigation item. Each navigation item has different modules of information compared to other navigation items, and inside each module is content. There are possibly sub pages underneath each navigation page. Naturally you can close the page and go back to the main 3D navigation at any time. Now where I am unsure about my UML OO design is in the approach of the module-templates, and whether I should use multiple M-V-C circles. I will be implementing SWFAddress [for deeplinks] and Stats, so an overall event manager [Observer] is essential. Logically I would imagine just 3 [nested] classes for the templates: Page-Module(s)-Content(s) [there can be multiple modules per page loaded dynamically and multiple content item types loaded per module: button, text, flv players etc.] but if I break 'Page' into an MCV chain I would get: SWFAdress-PageController-PageModel-PageView [Page Controller also sends data to StatsCollectorClass for updates] And then another chain for the modules: ?ModuleController-ModuleModel-ModuleView And then I presume the content would then be loaded/attached by the 'ModuleView' My questions are: 1. Should I bother with an MCV layout? [the application needs to built for long term use/expansion] Or just group the pages and modules together into one class each? 2. If I do split them into separate classes, where is the point of connection between two MCV chains? Is it from the parent model to the child's controller? Or from the parent's controller to the child's controller? Thanks for your insight!

[Flashcoders] TextFileds not receivign data?

I want to create as many text fields (which eventually I would like to
turn into buttons) as the length of an array. I also want to use the
content of the array to populate the text of the fields created
dynamically. I have tried everything I know but all I seem to get is
one filed with the lasat item in the array, sheesh!
I've gone absolutely mad on this one (newish to actionScript, I am!) but
can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I could do with a
helping hand or seven =:-)
var myTxt:Array = new Array(branding, news, about us, print,
marks, contact);
var myX = 430;
var menuArray:Array = new Array();
var ySpacing:Number = 90;
//
/*create textFields**/
//
//
for(i=0; imyTxt.length; i++) {
_root.createTextField(mytext+[i], 1, myX, 0, 100, 30);
myId = _root[mytext+[i]];
myId._y = ySpacing;
ySpacing += 40;
//

SV: [Flashcoders] TextFileds not receivign data?
Looks like you´ve created the textfields on the same level. Create the
fields like this instead:
_root.createTextField(mytext+[i], this.getNextHighestDepth(), myX, 0, 100,
30);

Re: [Flashcoders] TextFileds not receivign data?
Just took a quick look, but I think that this line may be giving you
trouble:
myId = _root[mytext+[i]];
You may want to try this instead:
var myId = _root.createTextField(mytext+[i], 1, myX, 0, 100, 30);

RE: [Flashcoders] TextFileds not receivign data?
Hi,
Seen you code. Just change the following line of code:
_root.createTextField(mytext+[i], 1, myX, 0, 100, 30);
To this one:
_root.createTextField(mytext+[i], i, myX, 0, 100, 30);
**
The problem with your code is that you are giving the same depth to all the
textfields. In flash you cannot assign the same depth to different objects
else it will remove the first object and place the new object on the same
depth.

Thanks for the reference! The program I am using for the charts is OmniGraffle, which I think is Mac only. :P With kind, Sebastian. Ron Wheeler wrote: Nice diagram ;-) could be designed with several Model-View-Controller rings in it Without getting too deep into your application, it looks like might want to think about a Controller with set of nested state machines inside. From what you wrote, it seems that this is where you are headed without using the words State machine. If you can take a look at a State Machine Design Pattern, you will likely find the ideas that you need to implement, elegantly laid out We have done this is a complex ActionScript application and the State machine in the Controller really simplified how we thought about the Controller and eventually the implementation was fairly straightforward and has survived a few years of maintenance and improvements without collapsing or requiring major rewrites to handle new functionality. Adding new states is easy and usually has no impact on existing state (just the transition routes). The control functions inside each state override the defaults (Interface methods) and impose their own behaviour. If you press next in Starting of Chapter state, you get different behaviour than you do when you press Next in Administering Test state. (Ours is an eLearning delivery system). The top level of the controller only has to manage its state and make sure that event is dispatched to the current state object. When the controller starts, it builds its state engine(instantiates the state objects), sets up the View, sets the initial state and waits. I hope that this helps.

But I am not sure what would be the best practice to connect them together... or if MVC is even the best way to go? In a nut shell here is what my application does: An 3D interface moves with the mouse around the screen. When you click on an item, it expands to show you some info [sometimes an flv]. If you click on more info button, you zoom into the 3D navigation item and the flash view pane gets filled exclusively with information about this navigation item. Each navigation item has different modules of information compared to other navigation items, and inside each module is content. There are possibly sub pages underneath each navigation page. Naturally you can close the page and go back to the main 3D navigation at any time. Now where I am unsure about my UML OO design is in the approach of the module-templates, and whether I should use multiple M-V-C circles. I will be implementing SWFAddress [for deeplinks] and Stats, so an overall event manager [Observer] is essential. Logically I would imagine just 3 [nested] classes for the templates: Page-Module(s)-Content(s) [there can be multiple modules per page loaded dynamically and multiple content item types loaded per module: button, text, flv players etc.] but if I break 'Page' into an MCV chain I would get: SWFAdress-PageController-PageModel-PageView [Page Controller also sends data to StatsCollectorClass for updates] And then another chain for the modules: ?ModuleController-ModuleModel-ModuleView And then I presume the content would then be loaded/attached by the 'ModuleView' My questions are: 1. Should I bother with an MCV layout? [the application needs to built for long term use/expansion] Or just group the pages and modules together into one class each? 2. If I do split them into separate classes, where is the point of connection between two MCV chains? Is it from the parent model to the child's controller? Or from the parent's controller to the child's controller? Thanks for your insight!

[Flashcoders] Are string literals and String objects the same in AS3?
Does anyone know if string literals are the same as String objects in AS3? From what I understand, in AS2, a String object was a wrapper object around a string literal. For exemple, in AS2, these were not the same: var myFirstString:String = my first string; var mySecondString:String = new String(my second string); The first line (the string literal) was just that, a literal value with no properties or methods. The second line (the instance of the String class) was just that, an instance of a class with methods and properties. And it was recommended to use mostly literals over String objects unless you needed to call methods or set/get properties. When the Flash Player would encounter a situation where you would call a method or set/get a property on a string literal, it would create a temporary String object, call the method or set/get the property and then delete the temporary String object. So, in the folowing exemple, it would create and delete 3 temporary String objects: var myString:String = this is a string literal; trace(myString.length); trace(myString.charAt(0)); trace(myString.indexOf(s)); I'm not 100% sure that's right but that's what I think it used to be in AS2. Now in AS3, I'm not sure but I think this might have changed. Does anyone know if the Flash Player 9 with AS3 still interprets String objects and string literals as described above (the same way as AS2) or as it changed? Are String objects and string literals treated exactly the same now (with no temporary String objects created and destroyed by the Player when calling methods or setting/getting property values directly on string literals)? What about other literals that have wrapper functions like Number, Boolean, Object and Array? David __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[Flashcoders] TransitionManager type Fly breaks coordinates of my MovieClips
Hello,
I have a v2 component displaying up to 12 playing cards at the
bottom of the stage and slightly rotating them from left to right:
private function placeCards(new_array:Array):Void {
var gap:Number = 40;
for (var i:Number = 0, j:Number = 0; i new_array.length; i++)
{
var index:Number = new_array[i];
var card_mc:MovieClip = index 0 ?
opened_cards[index] : you_closed[j++];
card_mc.setDepthTo(DepthManager.kTop);
card_mc._x = RADIUS + gap * i;
card_mc._y = height - Card.HEIGHT_2;
card_mc._rotation = 4 * (i - new_array.length / 2);
//TransitionManager.start(card_mc, {type:Fly,
direction:Transition.IN,
// duration:3, easing:Strong.easeOut, startPoint:(1
+ i % 3)});
}
deal_sound.start();
}
When I comment the last 2 lines in the for-loop above, everything
works: the cards are displayed one by one, with a gap of 40 pixels
between them and with rotation changed from left to right.
But when I try to use those 2 lines, then the transition does work:
the cards fly down from above (startPoint is 1, 2 or 3), but after
the 2nd call of placeCards() the _x coordinates of the playing
cards get broken: every 3 or 4th card is displaced (_x is too low).
Does anybody have an idea what is happening or
should I prepare a simpler test case?
Is TransitionManager.start() supposed to be used on multiple
mc's simultaneously and is it supposed to change the end
coordinates (_x, _y) of them?
Thank you
Alex

When I take some other transition class like:

direction:Transition.IN,
duration: 3, easing: Strong.easeInOut, ccw: false, degrees:
720});
then the coordinates of the playing cards movieclips are ok.

[Flashcoders] Developing Components with AS3 and CS3
Hi list, Now that we have AS 3.0 and Flash CS3 we can finally start to make some decent Flash components, don't we? Or so I thought but it's not exactly the same like making components with AS2 and resources on how to develop them with CS3 and AS3 are sparse or should I say non-existent so far?! So I was wondering if somebody knows of any tutes that shed some light on this. With AS3 we cannot use identifiers anymore when linking a symbol in the library, we can only provide a class name. Also on the Component Definition dialog are some settings that are left in the dark when looking into the docs, for one there's another Class input field and stuff to obviously create skinable components but a simple beginner guidance would be very appreciated!

Re: [Flashcoders] Are string literals and String objects the same in AS3?
In AS2, your example would of course work but only because the Flash Player would create a temporary String object with your string literal, then get the object's length property and return the value, and then delete the temporary String object it created. So yes, all method calls and get/set on property values would work just fine on literals in AS2, but only because Flash Player used to create temporary objects and delete them as soon as the operation ended. Thus, when you needed to call multiple methods on a string for exemple, it was more efficient to explicitely create a new instance of the String object and call those methods on the object rather that just calling those methods on a string literal. But it seems that this is no longer true in AS3, that String objects and string literals are now treated the same by Flash Player 9 using AS3 (there are no more implicit temporary String objects created by the Flash Player). Anyone knows if that is the case? - Original Message From: T.
