[Flashcoders] OT: Upgrading to Windows Vista

2007-06-04 Thread Paul Steven
A client is reporting problems running a flash CDROM (packaged with Zinc) on
windows vista so I need to upgrade to Windows Vista to enable me to debug
the problem (I am currently on Windows XP Home edition).

Just wanted to know if there are any general problems relating to upgrading
to Vista I need to be aware of and what version of Vista is recommended.
Also where is the best place to purchase Windows Vista?

Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Upgrading to Windows Vista

2007-06-04 Thread Ian Thomas

Hi Paul,
 The main problems we've had in migrating to Vista have all been to
do with installation - where you can (or more specifically can't)
write files to during the install process, and where you can write
files to at application runtime. The latter is very restrictive. (Our
disks write logfiles  etc. and store settings during use). We've as
yet had no problems with Flash itself.

Cheers,
 Ian

[Flashcoders] Special font issue

2007-06-04 Thread Tom Huynen

Hi list,

I'm developing a narrowcase project.
The euro sign (€) in the external xml data is encoded in this way: #8364;

I use Helvetica Light to display the content. It can display the eurosign
perfectly when I create a static text field inb the fla.
However soon as I embed the font and try to create a textfield dynamicly the
eurosign disapears.

The strange thing is that it works with some other fonts but not with the
one I need.

I tried google all day but my problem isn't solved yet.

Anybody some advice for me?

Re: [Flashcoders] Special font issue

2007-06-04 Thread Tom Huynen

Hello Jason,

Thanks for your reaction.
I do embed the font as a library item. This normally always works. Today I
discoverd however that some fonts to display the eurosign and some don't.
The logical explanation would be that the sign isn't supported for those
specific fonts.

However, when I try to type the sign in the fla in a static form the font
does support the sign.

Any idea about  this situation?

Regards,

Tom

[Flashcoders] scrollwheel bug in AS3?

2007-06-04 Thread Adam Mark
I am migrating code from AS2 to AS3 and came across some unexpected  
browser behavior -- both the SWF and the surrounding web page are  
scrolling at the same time.



The following examples are both running in 9,0,28,0 (IE 7 and Firefox  
2).


In AS2 (compiled to either v7 or v9), the surrounding web page does  
NOT scroll while the embedded SWF has focus and captures wheel events.


var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function (delta) {
myMovieClip._x += delta;
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);


In AS3 (compiled to v9), both the surrounding web page and the  
embedded SWF scroll at the same time (while the SWF has focus).


myMovieClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, handleMouseWheel);

private function handleMouseWheel(evt:MouseEvent):void {
myMovieClip.x += evt.delta;
}


I am trying to prevent the web page from scrolling while the SWF has  
focus and receives MOUSE_WHEEL events.  I have tried stopPropagation 
() and stopImmediatePropagation() to no avail.


The behavior is the same whether I render the SWF object/embed code  
via JavaScript or directly in the HTML.


Thoughts?

Thanks,
Adam

[Flashcoders] AS3.0 and C++

2007-06-04 Thread Bharat Varma

Hi,

I am developing an application where I would like to use Flex to talk to
some dlls / exe installed on the local machine, through a browser.

The DLLs (and or) EXE will be installed using an installer.

The workflow I would like working on the client machine is the swf (created
by Flex) getting loaded in the browser and communicating with the dlls
installed on the machine.

I guess one way would be to use External Interface and do a

   Action Script - Java Script - ActiveX  (for IE) / np dll (for FF)

I would like to avoid installing any new activex control for my application.
I do not need any GUI for my application either.

Is there another way to directly communicate with the dlls and completely
avoid activex (or equivalent in FF) ?

Also, material on ExternalInterface to Win32 C++ dlls communication seems
really sparse. Can some one point me in the right direction ?

Regards,
Bharat Varma

Re: [Flashcoders] Special font issue

Hi Karina,

I tried two ways of embedding:

- Embedding trough the library making the font a library symbol.
- Embedding by creating a dynamic textfield (all character sets and
including the eurosign)

the first one goes by the code below.
Both don't seem to work

Tom

var root_p:MovieClip = _root;

var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.size = 22;
tf.color = 0x00;
tf.font = 35 Helvetica Thin;


var test_txt:TextField = root_p.createTextField(test_txt, 0, 50, 50, 500,
500);
test_txt.border = true;
test_txt.embedFonts = true;
test_txt.html = true;
test_txt.htmlText = testing +  #8364; + ok;
test_txt.setTextFormat(tf);

Hi Karina,

I tried two ways of embedding:

- Embedding by creating a dynamic textfield (all character sets and
including the eurosign)

the first one goes by the code below.
Both don't seem to work

var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.size = 22;

[Flashcoders] commercial flash multi-touch projects?

2007-06-04 Thread Josh Santangelo
Hello list -- this may be OT or rule-breaking, but please don't kill  
me over it. I did a bit of work on the MS Surface project on a  
temporary basis and had a great time with it (see endquote.com for  
some info). Unfortunately due to some technology decisions in the  
group, Flash devs are not really needed anymore. I'd love to do more  
multi-touch work, but am not sure who's doing work in this area  
combined with Flash.


If anyone is involved in or aware of projects in this area in need of  
dev help, I'd love to hear about it.


thanks,

[Flashcoders] Re: Special font issue

2007-06-04 Thread joe
Tom,


Yes it is correct. But it doesn't work...The whole text is displayed
correctly in the right font but euro signs are just leftout.
while plain static text displays the euro sign perfectly..

I spent some time on this problem and eventually solved it. I can't remember
the details but the solution is based on two key bits of information

There are actually two character codes for the Euro symbol - a unicode one and
an ASCII one. Different typefaces have them in different places:

So I use character code \u20AC to put a Euro in the menu (AS2 menu component)
And character code \u00A4 to insert a euro character in Futura.

I found the only reliable way to embed the Euro character is to create a dummy
dynamic textfield with the Euro in it and set to your specified font and
typestyle (bold etc). Make sure the font is embedded and explicitly specify
the euro in the emded box.

Hope this is helpful

Joe

I now tend to not use anonymous functions like you have and use Delegate
instead.  Anonymous functions are bad practice in my opinion.  I think
your idea is actually messier than Delegate, no offense.  At least in
AS3, neither 'trick is necessary any more.

Re: [Flashcoders] commercial flash multi-touch projects?

2007-06-04 Thread ben gomez farrell
I'm answering despite not knowing really anything about how the 
technology works - but as the Microsoft Surface links got passed around 
a few days ago, one of the links was a DIY multi touch table.  I only 
skimmed the forum link really, but it had some screen shots of the 
fingers being pressed on the glass and the area where the fingers were 
looked like blobs (hence they were talking about blob detection 
algorithms).  I think they were using some kind of camera to point up at 
the table to detect where the finger blobs were.


If some kind of video camera that can work with flash can do whatever 
optically it needs to do, and AS3 is fast enough to perform whatever 
blob detection algorithms they need, then it's very much possible in 
flash.  But you know, those are big ifs. aren't they?

Hi,

I am developing an application where I would like to use Flex to talk to
some dlls / exe installed on the local machine, through a browser.

The DLLs (and or) EXE will be installed using an installer.

The workflow I would like working on the client machine is the swf
(created
by Flex) getting loaded in the browser and communicating with the dlls
installed on the machine.

I guess one way would be to use External Interface and do a

Action Script - Java Script - ActiveX  (for IE) / np dll (for
FF)

I would like to avoid installing any new activex control for my
application.
I do not need any GUI for my application either.

Is there another way to directly communicate with the dlls and
completely
avoid activex (or equivalent in FF) ?

Also, material on ExternalInterface to Win32 C++ dlls communication
seems
really sparse. Can some one point me in the right direction ?

Regards,
Bharat Varma

Re: [Flashcoders] Setting up loadVars onLoad handler within customclass

That's how it was done before we had the Delegate class.
Even though it works, the scope within the function is still not correct, 
meaning this returns the movieclip instance.

There's no reason why you shouldn't use Delegate and plenty of why you should.

Subject: [Flashcoders] scrollwheel bug in AS3?

I am migrating code from AS2 to AS3 and came across some unexpected
browser behavior -- both the SWF and the surrounding web page are
scrolling at the same time.


The following examples are both running in 9,0,28,0 (IE 7 and Firefox
2).

In AS2 (compiled to either v7 or v9), the surrounding web page does
NOT scroll while the embedded SWF has focus and captures wheel events.

var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function (delta) {
 myMovieClip._x += delta;
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);


In AS3 (compiled to v9), both the surrounding web page and the
embedded SWF scroll at the same time (while the SWF has focus).

myMovieClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, handleMouseWheel);

private function handleMouseWheel(evt:MouseEvent):void {
 myMovieClip.x += evt.delta;
}


I am trying to prevent the web page from scrolling while the SWF has
focus and receives MOUSE_WHEEL events.  I have tried stopPropagation
() and stopImmediatePropagation() to no avail.

The behavior is the same whether I render the SWF object/embed code
via JavaScript or directly in the HTML.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Adam

Re: [Flashcoders] commercial flash multi-touch projects?

2007-06-04 Thread Ian Thomas

Hi Jason,
 As I understand it, some multitouch systems (no idea about MS!) use
a process to track and broadcast multitouch data to listeners on a
socket.

 There'd be nothing stop AS3 reading data from that socket,
presumably... or (I guess) some container app interpreting the socket
data and passing it to Flash via ExternalInterface or some other
means...

 You wouldn't be able to use standard mouse events.

RE: [Flashcoders] commercial flash multi-touch projects?

2007-06-04 Thread Merrill, Jason
Yeah, it's the event handling that would throw me for a loop - I mean
making/responding to a custom event is easy, but detecting and then
firing a USER created event that doesn't currently exist in the Flash
player is where I don't follow how it would be possible without some
third party solution.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] commercial flash multi-touch projects?

I'm answering despite not knowing really anything about how 
the technology works - but as the Microsoft Surface links got 
passed around a few days ago, one of the links was a DIY 
multi touch table.  I only skimmed the forum link really, but 
it had some screen shots of the fingers being pressed on the 
glass and the area where the fingers were looked like blobs 
(hence they were talking about blob detection algorithms).  I 
think they were using some kind of camera to point up at the 
table to detect where the finger blobs were.

If some kind of video camera that can work with flash can do 
whatever optically it needs to do, and AS3 is fast enough to 
perform whatever blob detection algorithms they need, then 
it's very much possible in flash.  But you know, those are 
big ifs. aren't they?

So be it -- but this isn't how AS2.0 works.

The behavior makes it virtually impossible to scroll within the SWF  
-- since the page keeps bumping up and down.

Re: [Flashcoders] Rotate in absolute center AS3

2007-06-04 Thread sean
Presumably this is a programatically created bitmap. I don't know if you
can set the registration point of the movieclip or sprite within which I
assume it lives programatically within AS3 programatically (sorry, haven't
looked into this since AS2), however, even if you can, the principal is
the same as doing it manually.

Calculate the bitmap's width and height, divide them by 2 and position the
x and y to be minus these figures, as the default for the registration
point is x:0 and y:0 (top left hand corber). So, what ever the bitmap
width and hight, you would set (this is formula, not code btw):

bitmap x = bitmap x - (bitmap width / 2)
bitmap y = bitmap y - (bitmap height / 2)



S.

 Hey there, I need rotate  Bitmap texture in AS3.

 I use

 object.rotate = 45

 unhappyness the rotate is no absulute center. The rotate is corner high
 left. What is happends? How to set position pivot in center.

 I need the texture rotate in with the self center.

 Thank a lot

Subject: [Flashcoders] Record client's webcam without Flash Server

Hi all!

I 'd like to know if there is a way to record the client's webcam or mic 
input, and send it to the server without using the Flash Server or other 
open source alternative services. I mean, sending the video over HTTP.

I need my users to record they webcam videos and send those videos to 
the server. what options do I have?

thanks in advance!
JulianG

Are you asking How can a SWF in a browser talk to my native-code 
libraries installed on the viewing machine?


If so, then here are possibilities:

(a)  use a completely remote connection, with the in-browser SWF talking 
to your server, and your on-machine DLLs also getting messages from your 
server (it sounds silly, but people have used this for years);


(b)  if your DLL can be invoked by the same webpage holding the SWF, 
then you can use ExternalInterface-type of work to have the browser's 
JavaScript intermediate the messages between the two codebases;


(c)  making a standalone application, rather than an in-browser page, 
can help you avoid the required browser sandboxing... Flash makes 
Projectors, and other firms host deeper native shells (Zinc, eg).


The Apollo angle I'm not really sure of, because we're still in alpha 
and local-access is such a hot issue. I've seen some example where 
people use a local server as the intermediary between processes, but I 
think we need to sit and wait a bit, to see the options the final 1.0 
delivery enables.

Re: [Flashcoders] Rotate in absolute center AS3

2007-06-04 Thread Jobe Makar

Hi,

The code below I copied from somewhere else and have saved it to eventually 
test. So, I cannot verify that it *definately* does the trick. However, 
using rotateAroundExternalPoint should allow you to rotate around the 
center. You'd just need to specify the clip's center. This example code that 
I copied is for a MovieClip, but I think it will work with any display 
object.


import fl.motion.*;
var m=mc1.transform.matrix;
MatrixTransformer.rotateAroundExternalPoint (m,100,100,5);
//transfrom original mc
mc1.transform.matrix=m;

[Flashcoders] thumbnail panel

2007-06-04 Thread ben deroo

hi,
I'm trying to create a simple sample thumbnail panel with movieclips, which
i'll later modify, but there seems to be something wrong in the code


code:
//
for (var i:Number = 0; i10; i++) {
   var t = attachMovie(box, box+i, i+1);
   var Xspacing:Number = 20;
   var Xreset:Number = 0;
   var Yspacing:Number = 20;
   var counter:Number = 1;

   t._x += (t._width+Xspacing)*i;

   if (t._x400) {
   //counter++;
   t._y = (t._height+Yspacing);
   t._x = Xreset;
   t._x += (t._width+Xspacing)*(counter);
   } else {
   //counter++;
   }
}


//end code

I'm trying to create several rows, but seem to be failing to do so, is this
a conditional logic error?

thanks for any help


Ben

I have the Javascript to DLL communcation already working. I think I will
just use ExternalAPI to talk between AS and Javascript.

Thank you.

Thanks!
I downloaded it. And I will try it.

So there's definitely no way to do this using just HTTP, right?

Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] thumbnail panel

2007-06-04 Thread Paul V.
Ben,

One problem I see with the code right away is this.  You are only going to
run your second level thumb nails though that if statement when the previous
thumb_x  is  400  That means after placing the first thumb on the second
row, your if(){ code } doesn't  get read.  I would have a look at that.
Maybe put in a mini  if(t._x400) { levelCount +=1;};  And then use your
t._y var with a multiplier using levelCount.
Understand.  I am taking a five minute break.  I will come back and try to
write some of that idea out for you.

Vdst.
