Re: [Flashcoders] Flash animation like http://u10.iriver.com/
Hi, we did something similar some time ago, but for a small sequence only. We wore black clothes and were filmed in front of a white wall. We did post-production in Photoshop and Illustrator. We used actions (batch processing) in Photoshop and converted Selections into Pathes which could be exported/imported to Illustrator, where another action converted them into fills and saved to single-frame SWF files. These files were imported into Flash as sequence. And there you are.. You can then use these shapes as masks and have nice effects this way. hth, Matthias 2007/5/15, Helios Pregioni Bayma [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, I have a project with animation of a person, and the client is in doubt about real person animed or silhouette like the one in http://u10.iriver.com/. Do you know what are the best techniques for both? The iriver example, what technique do you think it uses? My weakeast point in Flash is animation, and the design company will take care of it, but they asked me that cause they know nothing about Flash. Anyone has a tip for doing those differente animations? Thanks!

[Flashcoders] swfs in pdfs
Hi Coders, I have come across swf's embedded in PDFs, and in the process of doing a little research - is that taking off now, or is it a small specialist area? I can't seem to find much technical info on this, especially, what are the system requirements on the user side: does s/he need flash as well as acrobat reader, and what versions would these have to be? Has anyone of you done this before? Thanks!

[Flashcoders] quick question: AS2: CSS, [bullet] images assosiated to text?
Hello, I have a quick question; can't find any answers on the net. I don't think this is possible, but I just want to make sure! If I load in XML data as HTML and associate it to a style sheet [CSS] - is there anyway I can then associate little images, like bullet pictures for the li items? or little arrow images next to the a tags? As far as I know, this is not possible and I need to load each li or a as a separate textField, and then place an image of the bullet/arrow next to it at run time, right?

You can use threshold to do that. var bitmap:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(myPNG); bitmap.threshold(bitmap, bitmap.rectangle, bitmap.rectangle.topLeft, '', 0x, 0x); maskClip.attachBitmap(bitmap, 1); That will turn all pixels with some alpha to red and full alpha.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: capturing a href=link/a events?
Hello :)
in actionscript (1 or 2) you can use the notation :
a href=asfunction:myMethod,param1,param2Link/a
In your code... in the parent of your textfield (the parent movieclip), you
can creates the method myMethod
example :
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(arial, 12) ;
format.bold = true ;
var target:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(mc, 1) ;
target._x = 25 ;
target._y = 25 ;
target.myMethod = function( arg1, arg2 )
{
trace( callback : + arg1 + : + arg2) ;
}
var field:TextField = target.createTextField( field, 1, 0 , 0, 200, 20) ;
field.autoSize = true ;
field.border = true ;
field.setNewTextFormat( format ) ;
field.html = true ;
field.htmlText = 'a href=asfunction:myMethod,param1,param2Link/a' ;
You can use TextField.StyleSheet to apply a css style in your fields etc
Read the actionscript reference with the words TextField and asfunction :)
EKA+ :)

[Flashcoders] Looking up property linked to an arraycollection item
Hard to give this 'problem' a good subject. It's not really a 'problem',
but more something I wanted to pass by people to find out how they solve
this i.r.l. There are many ways to fix this, just looking for the best
:)
E.g. I have an object Person with a Property BirthCountry.
Public class Person {
public var BirthCountry:Number;
public function Person() {
}
}
The BirthCountry is an ID of a Country, stored in a ModelClass in an
ArrayCollection. The ArrayCollection is filled with id/value pairs.
How would everybody do this? Is the seperation of the Country Collection
a good thing? Would you create some sort of CountryVO objects, and give
that as a property to the Person? E.g.
Public class Person {
public var BirthCountry:BirthCountryVO;
public function Person() {
}
}
Or any other great ideas?
Tx in advance,
Ben

Hi Flash Coders I am having a problem with local connection communication between an exe and a website, but only on INTEL macs. I have the underscore before the name, but the messages aren't getting through (they do on windows and g4 mac).

I have tried removing the underscore and appending the domain and a colon to the beginning, but that also fails on intel mac, but works on windows and g4 mac. Has anyone else come across this bug, or more to the point has anyone got an exe and a swf on a website to talk to one another on an intel mac (g4 works fine, so it's specific to intel macs)? I've noticed that the Luminic Box tracer doesn't work on Intel Macs either, haven't checked xray.

[Flashcoders] rotating a movie clip around another movie clip...
so I'm fairly new to using actionscript for everything in my flash and I was wondering if there was a way to rotate a movie clip around another movie clip that is already rotating. here's the scenario...I have a crystal ball that is floating in a circle thanks to actionscript. this ball has 2 light squares on it to give the impression of glass/lights/etc...I also have a separate shadow movieclip on the ground below the ball that I am changing the size and alpha according to the y position of the ball movieclip (via actionscript, of course). I want to do the same thing with these light squares. I'd like to give the effect of when the ball floats down, the light squares rotate/move up on the ball and vise versa. this would give the effect that this is just a glass ball floating in space with overhead lights that are stationary. so that's what I want to do and maybe it's way too far over my head for now, but I guess I gotta learn somehow! so...is there a way to rotate/move this light square movieclip according to the x y axis of the ball movieclip? any help would be appreciated...right now, I've been just copying and pasting code in there and seeing what happens. I'm a designer and not a math wiz, but I'm slowly learning. thanks! ___ 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] CVS and Flash best practice advice needed
Use SVN with tortoiseSVN client. We are 8 developers working ina huge project and this mode works very well. Obviously a Version control system is implemented by developers not only by sofware. We use svn in as files normaly and block the fla files. We have 4 folders: bin, source, documentation and samples. We have some rules in server side like : when sombody changes a fla file, a email notify to last person that changed that file. The trunk is sacred nobody can touch it for debug or develop new features, components or versions. If sombody wants develop a new feature made a brach, if sombody wants to debug the core made a tag. When a tag or a branch was been published inmediatly it is merged to the trunk.

Re: [Flashcoders] CVS and Flash best practice advice needed
We use Eclipse with CVS and it works well. I am trying to follow as many of the Java best practices as I can since they have had a lot of time to figure out how to run complex projects with teams of people. I am hoping that the renewed activity in the ASDT plug-in will lead to a strong Eclipse tool set that leverages the best practices that the Java community has already figured out. (Mylar in the next go-around???) Any version control is a great help. Subversion is more modern and we are headed that way but CVS has worked fine for us for 5+ years of Flash development.

Hello :)
in actionscript (1 or 2) you can use the notation :
a href=asfunction:myMethod,param1,param2Link/a
In your code... in the parent of your textfield (the parent movieclip), you
can creates the method myMethod
example :
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(arial, 12) ;
format.bold = true ;
var target:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(mc, 1) ;
target._x = 25 ;
target._y = 25 ;
target.myMethod = function( arg1, arg2 )
{
trace( callback : + arg1 + : + arg2) ;
}
var field:TextField = target.createTextField( field, 1, 0 , 0, 200,
20) ;
field.autoSize = true ;
field.border = true ;
field.setNewTextFormat( format ) ;
field.html = true ;
field.htmlText = 'a href=asfunction:myMethod,param1,param2Link/a' ;
You can use TextField.StyleSheet to apply a css style in your fields
etc
Read the actionscript reference with the words TextField and asfunction :)

Hello again, a more difficult question maybe...
Is there any way for me to capture a user click on an href tag inside of
a CSS formatted html text field?
Here is what I do:
- CDATA formatted text in an XML file.
- load it and associate a CSS file to a generated text field at run time.
- resulting a tags have links assigned to them.
- user 'clicks' them - event capture??
In other words: what I need to do is to hear the event so I can dispatch
an event to my Controller class [who then sends info to the stats class,
and opens a browser window with predetermined formatting].
At the moment I can't see a way for this event to be heard by my
controller. Maybe this is simple? maybe its impossible, or complex...
any ideas? Javascript maybe?
Thanks for your help!

RE: [Flashcoders] splitting the list?
This topic, or at least one very similar, was just brought up earlier this week. See subject: [Flashcoders] Motion to combine coders and newbies. I personally think many of the questions being posted here probably belong in FlashNewbies, and not enough people know about that list. I know I'm guilty of posting newbie questions here because I didn't even know about the other list until this week. I'd like to see the list stay as is, but would like to see more revealing subject lines instead of the many Problem! Help! Is this an error? type lines that don't give any idea of what the actual problem is and make it difficult to search the list to reference solutions for your own problems (thus not requiring a repost if its already been covered). Another idea that I support was the use of additional tags in the subject line such as [XML] or [server] so people can use their own filtering. Just my two cents. Daniel Holth I.S.

Re: [Flashcoders] rotating a movie clip around another movie clip...
assuming I understand right and you want to move the lights around the [inside] of crystal ball (?): instead of using cpu intensive radius calculations, just have the items that need to rotate around the crystal ball inside the crystal ball MC. Set their center point to the center point of the crystal ball, then make them rotate using a simple _rotation++ style command* and voila instant rotation around the crystal ball. *: (you could make the _rotation of the lights = the x or y position of the crystal ball; to link the two together...) If thats too linear, put the lights inside empty MC which are then inside the crystal ball. This would give rotation around an empty point within rotation of the crystal ball. aka: embedded rotations. if you want to see this in action [with a whole bunch of mini MC all rotating around each other] check out the pink mandala on this website: http://www.arctone.com hope this helps! with kind, sebastian.

RE: [Flashcoders] swfs in pdfs
I have come across swf's embedded in PDFs, and in the process of doing a little research - is that taking off now, or is it a small specialist area? You can embed several types of multimedia content in PDFs. I wouldn't say it's taking off; neither is it a small specialist area. If you want to generate multimedia presentations and deliver them as PDF, you can do this sort of thing. I can't seem to find much technical info on this, especially, what are the system requirements on the user side: does s/he need flash as well as acrobat reader, and what versions would these have to be? Acrobat Reader doesn't contain Flash Player functionality. To open a PDF with embedded SWF content, you need Acrobat Reader 6 or newer.

Re: [Flashcoders] border styles for TextArea component
John -- Your postings led me to look into this further. I found the answer in this livedocs item, Using ActionScript to draw Button skins: http://tinyurl.com/282gze You'll see from the Comments at the end that the AS code didn't seem to work. This might be because the instructions are ambiguous on which type of new symbol (named ButtonSkin) to create; it works OK with ButtonSkin created as a movie clip. The second Comment gives a link that is very useful, dealing with all the quirky terms for button states. (It turns out that a button that has focus is in emphasized states; a button that has been made to toggle on is in the true states; toggle off puts the button in false states, a perverse term because this is the state buttons are normally in.) The key to controlling the settable features of RectBorder is lineStyle. The three parameters in the example (additionally parameters can follow these) are thickness for line width (0 would be hairline), 0 for line color (black; any other color would be 0xrrggbb hexadecimal terms), and 100 for alpha. -- Bob Hadsell From: john robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] border styles for TextArea component Date: Wed, 2 May 2007 13:46:18 -0400 Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] border styles for TextArea component
I'll have to look into this when we hit the next revision. For now I ended up just placing 2 mc's into my RectBorder symbol, outline_mc and bg_mc. Then in my (I think) draw() method, I just assigned the proper colors to these clips. It works great for now though it might save me a byte or 2 to do them programmatically, and since I'm only using TextArea in this app, I have no idea what it's going to do to any of the other components that use RectBorder.

If you are working across multiple FLAs you may want to take a different approach. -Original Message- From: john robinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 11:24 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] border styles for TextArea component Hello all - I'm using the TextArea component in Flash 8. I need to give the component a border that is 1 pixel wide. I've found that using setStyle (borderStyle, solid) gives me a solid border but it is wider than I need. Can anyone give me a hint as to how to change the width of the border? Thanks!

Hello :)
in actionscript (1 or 2) you can use the notation :
a href=asfunction:myMethod,param1,param2Link/a
In your code... in the parent of your textfield (the parent
movieclip), you
can creates the method myMethod
example :
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(arial, 12) ;
format.bold = true ;
var target:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(mc, 1) ;
target._x = 25 ;
target._y = 25 ;
target.myMethod = function( arg1, arg2 )
{
trace( callback : + arg1 + : + arg2) ;
}
var field:TextField = target.createTextField( field, 1, 0 , 0, 200,
20) ;
field.autoSize = true ;
field.border = true ;
field.setNewTextFormat( format ) ;
field.html = true ;
field.htmlText = 'a href=asfunction:myMethod,param1,param2Link/a' ;
You can use TextField.StyleSheet to apply a css style in your fields
etc
Read the actionscript reference with the words TextField and
asfunction :)

Hello again, a more difficult question maybe...
Is there any way for me to capture a user click on an href tag inside of
a CSS formatted html text field?
Here is what I do:
- CDATA formatted text in an XML file.
- load it and associate a CSS file to a generated text field at run
time.
- resulting a tags have links assigned to them.
- user 'clicks' them - event capture??
In other words: what I need to do is to hear the event so I can dispatch
an event to my Controller class [who then sends info to the stats class,
and opens a browser window with predetermined formatting].
At the moment I can't see a way for this event to be heard by my
controller. Maybe this is simple? maybe its impossible, or complex...
any ideas? Javascript maybe?
Thanks for your help!

Use this:

x.parseXML();

Use CDATA for that node inside the XML to make flash recognise everything you write inside CDATA as html text.

Re: [Flashcoders] swfs in pdfs
Thanks Dave, So I gather that this is not really a medium to send out to the general public because of the Adobe Reader verison requirement. NIk On 5/16/07, Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have come across swf's embedded in PDFs, and in the process of doing a little research - is that taking off now, or is it a small specialist area? You can embed several types of multimedia content in PDFs. I wouldn't say it's taking off; neither is it a small specialist area. If you want to generate multimedia presentations and deliver them as PDF, you can do this sort of thing. I can't seem to find much technical info on this, especially, what are the system requirements on the user side: does s/he need flash as well as acrobat reader, and what versions would these have to be?

Hey Chris,
You could do something like this:
for each(var n:String in employees..zip) {
trace(n);
}
That will loop through your XML and find all nodes with the name zip.
