[Flashcoders] breaking up long actions
Hi list,
I'm running a process on a tree of objects that require lots of objects to
be created.
This takes somewhere around 300ms on my pc, and will usually be run as the
swf starts or as all classes have been loaded.
300ms is enough for a stutter let alone when its run on slower pc's so I
want to break down the task in subtasks to have it more processor friendly.
I know this has been discussed a few times but cant seem to find any
resources on it.
At the moment I'm thinking of using a stack of nodes to process, and using
the stack and an alloted time, to complete the whole process, eg in pseudo:
onInterval() {
if (process.isDone()) {
clearInterval and send done event
} else {
process.continue();
}
}
The problem is old but I was wondering if anyone has come up with good
solution to this. Usually by the time we find out a process is slow, the way
we built it doesnt really allow us to break it up in chunks easily,
especially with recursive structures etc.
regards,
JC

Re: [Flashcoders] breaking up long actions
Do you really need to have all the objects running in memory at runtime?
If it's really really big, you might want to offload those objects to
the backend and modify your current solution into one that paginates
only what is needed. Are we talking like 10,000+ objects?

RE: [Flashcoders] least to greatest
I am not sure if there is a sort method for arrays such as
Array.Sort(direction) if such a function does not exists then you can always
write a quick bubble sort function.
function bubblesort(ArrayName){
changesmade = true;
for(y = 0; y ArrayName.Length; y++{
if(changesmade){
changesmade = false;
for(x = 0; x ArrayName.Length-1; x++){
if(ArrayName[x] ArrayName[x+1]){
temp = ArrayName[x];
ArrayName[x] = ArrayName[x+1];
ArrayName[x+1] = temp;
Changesmade = true;
}
}
}
}
Return ArrayName;
}
If you want to sort in accending order or descending order as well the if
statement just needs to have the less than sign changed to a greater than
sign. There are ways of speeding this function up you can put in a variable
that checks to see if you made any changes to the array with each pass
If no changes were made then array is sorted. But I might not bother with
this step for only 10 variables.

[Flashcoders] Flash CS3 - Strange Error: 5005: Unknown error optimizing byte code
Hello flashcoders, I am facing strange problem since long time. This error code even doesn't exist in the list of error codes. This is the exact error I am getting while I compile the FLA from flash CS3. Location : , Line 1 Description : 5005: Unknown error optimizing byte code. Source : I don't know exact reason about its generation, But here are the some possible reasons / hints: Case 1) Overloading: 1.1) Size of .fla is 10.5 MB and its document class contains more than 60 classes to import and has more than 100 variables. 1.2) Even if I put In document class - only variable initialization and class importing are there. Nothing in its constructor + no other functions are defined. Still error is there. 1.3) If we import all classes and has all variables then it gives this compile error. But if we remove some particular numbers of variable, it's start working. In this we can remove any type of variables. 1.4) After reducing variables, application starts working till that it won't. Case 2) 2.1) Size of .fla is 1.75 MB and its document class is same as above one. 2.2) All assumptions are same as above. 2.3) Now this class contains all functions and have initialization of all variables + classes. 2.4) In this If we remove 3-5 variables, it will start functioning else it won't. Its a huge application so I am even confused that what is the cause of error and this error stopped our working for a week now. Bit more information about the project that may help the team to identify the reason. 1. Project development started with flash public alpha 3. When we started using Flash CS3, we had some design problem if we do open the FLA in CS3, so we completely redesigned the Movieclips etc., in Flash CS3 IDE. 2. Project contains approx 250 classes. 3. In main application, it imports 67 classes. (it works if I keep 63 classes in document class). 4. In the case 3 above, if that works with 63 classes and If I do add 3 frames in existing movieclip, it stops working. 5. In the case 3 above, if that works with 63 classes and If I do add / declare few more variables, it stops working. It would be humble appreciation if someone can come up with some light in the dark tunnel.

When I am loading a new sound that is longer than the previous one, the position continous from the end point of the previous sound and then is simply not updated further when it reaches the end point of the new sound. If I load a sound that is short er than the preceding sound, the position issimply set to the end point of the new sound, and remains there to the end of the new sound. is this a bug, or a feature, and how do I get around ti without creating anew sound object or initialising the existing one (with e.g. mySound = new Sound(); Thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] breaking up long actions
It doesn't break things in pieces for you but (I might get the problem
the wrong way ;) ) that's the easy part isn't it? The interval does let
you create/parse/edit large datasets without distorting the flow of the
swf (the animation isn't distorted).

Re: [Flashcoders] Keeping XML Objects
I started to come to the same conclusion while writing the previous post -- why use XML if you don't have to. It would probably be better just to create a serialized object directly from the database and deserialize that in Flash.

I do not always follow this advice and for the most part, on a reasonably modern PC it really does not matter. You do not have to use XPath. We just parse it in ActionScript in each getter as we need the info and once you have the pattern figured out, it is pretty easy. Just make sure that you have good set of Objects even if the only property is an XML structure. You can always change the methods later if you decide to parse the XML once. If you ever want/need to change a value at runtime, you will be much happier with objects.

Re: [Flashcoders] breaking up long actions
I'm not sure you can interrupt the loop without modifying your code a little
bit... I'm also not sure what the most suitable solution would be given your
code structure, but I would say the cleanest way to do this is to break the
loop out into a function that takes a parameter for the amount of iterations
it should process for each interval. I like onEnterFrame as flash executes
code in frames, so with that in mind, you can set the function to return the
result of the test for the loop to indicate whether it has finished, and by
such, end or resume the onEnterFrame.
If you are using actionscript 2, you can also set properties on the
function. You can then track the iterator index using a function property.
function onEnterFrame() {
var resume:Boolean = operateLoop(3);
if(!resume) onEnterFrame = null;
}
function operateLoop(iterations:Number){
var iterationsI:Number = operateLoop.i+iterations;
if(iterationsIoperateLoop.max) iterationsI = operateLoop.max;
for(;operateLoop.iiterationsI;operateLoop.i++){
trace(operateLoop.i);
}
return operateLoop.ioperateLoop.max;
};
operateLoop.max = 12;
operateLoop.i = 0;

If it's really really big, you might want to offload those objects to
the backend and modify your current solution into one that paginates
only what is needed. Are we talking like 10,000+ objects?

RE: [Flashcoders] breaking up long actions
Hi Hans,
The way I used to fix it, was indeed by using some sort of interval
solution. Only to break up the loop in more parts so the animations
won't get bothered with it. I have an example online at
http://www.bensmeets.com/2007/04/09/using-threads-inside-flash/
(download the zip, it contains an animated example and source also).
HTH,
Ben

Re: [Flashcoders] swap depths with mask
Call something like this after you do the swap: targetMC.setMask(maskMC); This will reset the mask. Masking is tricky business. You cannot mask more than one thing. I mention this in case you are using swapDepths to try and cover more movieclips with your mask - it will not work... I don't think the depth of the mask has any impact on how it works. You might want to consider operating the masking mechanism programmatically to begin with. My summer is alright, thank you. Hope this helps. H On 7/5/07, Paul V.

Re: [Flashcoders] Fullscreen problem
I'm pretty sure that was a limitation of Full Screen in the docs. I haven't tried it yet, but if you're desperate to keep the full screen, you might see if you can use a Key listener to capture keyboard input and set the text of the text field. If the form's very complex, you may have to internally keep track of what text box has focus. Like I said though, haven't tried it yet so it's pure speculation (we decided to dump Full Screen -- it just wasn't worth the effort). If this post is too vague, I can try to whip up some code for an example. On 7/6/07, Izaias / Grafikonstruct [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone!

Re: [Flashcoders] Controllingt he volume of multiple sound objects at the same time
Sound objects associated with the same movie clip share their
properties (volume, etc.), so if you change the volume through one of
them, the change will be reflected by others, too. That is because in
fact sound properties belong to movie clips and not the Sound objects,
and Sound objects only reflect the sound settings of the associated movie

Hey there. I am trying to control the volume of a number of sound objects that
have their own individual volume levels. I want to be able to mute them or
allow them to play at the volume that has been set for them. I was thinking
that I could do this by storing the values in arrays and then looping through
these each time the sound is muted/unmuted but I am sure there must be an
easier way.

Here is what I have so far:
var sound1:Sound = new Sound(this);
sound1.setVolume(60);
var sound2:Sound = new Sound(this);
sound2.setVolume(20);
sound1.loadSound('an.mp3', false);

Hello :)
in my opensource framework (VEGAS) i use a SoundLibrary class to manage my

lib.addSound( sound_2 ) ; // sound in the library with the link sound_2
lib.addSounds( [sound_3, sound_4] ) ; // add an Array of sounds in
the library
lib.loadSound( my_sound.mp3, sound5 ) ;
lib.loadSound( sound6.mp3 ) ; // add the external sound and auto
create the 'sound6' id of the sound in the library
lib.setVolume( 50 ) ; // all sounds in the library changes the volume.
lib.getSound(sound2).setVolume( 40 ) ; // change the volume of the
'sound2' Sound reference in the library.
}}}
This class inherit the SoundModel class :
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/andromeda/media/SoundModel.as
You can use an MVC pattern with this library with a global event flow etc..
This class is really easy to use :) Use the addSound or the addSounds ou the

Re: [Flashcoders] breaking up long actions
Hi,
well it's easy if you have a single for loop:), I had a deeply nested tree,
but I'm flattening it out now using a stack of nodes to process.
So the interval itself doesnt really allow you to edit large datasets, it
allows you to edit lots of little ones:).

Hi Ben,
tnx for the example, too bad setInterval in itself does not make content
run in the background or my life would be a lot easier:). The problem is
in the breaking up, but I think I got it figured now.
thanks again

Hi Hans,
The way I used to fix it, was indeed by using some sort of interval
solution. Only to break up the loop in more parts so the animations
won't get bothered with it. I have an example online at

(download the zip, it contains an animated example and source also).

Subject: [Flashcoders] breaking up long actions
Hi list,
I'm running a process on a tree of objects that require lots of
objects to be created.
This takes somewhere around 300ms on my pc, and will usually be run as
the swf starts or as all classes have been loaded.
300ms is enough for a stutter let alone when its run on slower pc's so
I want to break down the task in subtasks to have it more processor
friendly.
I know this has been discussed a few times but cant seem to find any
resources on it.
At the moment I'm thinking of using a stack of nodes to process, and
using the stack and an alloted time, to complete the whole process, eg
in pseudo:
onInterval() {
if (process.isDone()) {
clearInterval and send done event
} else {
process.continue();
}
}
The problem is old but I was wondering if anyone has come up with good
solution to this. Usually by the time we find out a process is slow,
the way we built it doesnt really allow us to break it up in chunks
easily, especially with recursive structures etc.
regards,
JC

Re: [Flashcoders] Controllingt he volume of multiple sound objects at the same time
Yes, but he has created a separate Sound object for each sound
(sound1 and sound2), so he's fine in that respect.
What would make this simpler, however, is to write a function that
creates the sound objects based on the array, while also storing the
initial volume for each sound. Here's an UNTESTED example:
// build the array based on linked sounds in the library (catMeow etc.):
var theSounds: Array = [catMeow , dogBark , alienScream , doorCreak]
// create a parallel array of sound levels for each sound:
var theVolumes: Array = [50,65,90,5];
// create a sound object for each array element:
for (i=0; itheSounds.length; i++){
// create the sound object and attach the sound:
this [theSounds[i] + SoundObject'] = new Sound();
this [theSounds[i] + SoundObject'].attachSound (this [theSounds[i]);
// create a variable to store the initial volume for each sound:
this [theSounds[i] + SoundObject'].initVolume = theVolumes[i];
// set the volume for this sound:
this [theSounds[i] + SoundObject'].setVolume(this
[theSounds[i] + SoundObject'].initVolume);
}
Where sound name is the name of the sound object:
To play a sound, just use (sound name).start.
To mute it, use (sound name).setVolume(0);
To restore the volume, use (sound name.setVolume(sound
name.initVolume). You could construct a function for this where the
only arg would be the sound name.

Sound objects associated with the same movie clip share their
properties (volume, etc.), so if you change the volume through one of
them, the change will be reflected by others, too. That is because in
fact sound properties belong to movie clips and not the Sound objects,
and Sound objects only reflect the sound settings of the associated movie
clip.

Hey there. I am trying to control the volume of a number of sound
objects that have their own individual volume levels. I want to be
able to mute them or allow them to play at the volume that has been
set for them. I was thinking that I could do this by storing the
values in arrays and then looping through these each time the sound
is muted/unmuted but I am sure there must be an easier way.
Any suggestsions v gratefully received :)
Here is what I have so far:
var sound1:Sound = new Sound(this);
sound1.setVolume(60);
var sound2:Sound = new Sound(this);
sound2.setVolume(20);
sound1.loadSound('an.mp3', false);
sound2.loadSound('another.mp3', false);

[Flashcoders] Bitmap.draw versus MovieClipLoader
I have a few copies of a downloaded image in memory to support various drag functions and would like to save some bandwidth. Obviously duplicateMovieClip won't work because it doesn't work on dynamically created clips that use LoadMovie. So I was thinking that I could use the new MovieClipLoader class and it would use the browsers cache or I could use the bitmap.draw function to create a bitmap and then attach that. Both of which I thought would work in the similar way. It seems that calling bitmap.draw on a movieclip that has a downloaded image forces another download - I haven't veified this via netmon (yet) - but notice that a sandbox security violation occurs when call that function. To me that doesn't make sense, If I already gave it permission to use that image from that domain, why would some other component using that same instance need to have the same permission (security line entries in the class file)? Am I better off using the MovieClipLoader class instead? - Will the MCL also try to download the image again and also need the sandbox settings? - or will it try to download it and load it from cache? Any insight would be helpful.

[Flashcoders] Sandbox Security Violation - using Bitmap.draw
I'm having some real problems here and can't figure out the solution, maybe there's been so many solutions that google can't seem to locate the proper one. If anyone can help, please let me know. I dynamically load images into movieclips (these images are all over the web). I use System.security.allowDomain(*); System.security.allowInsecureDomain(*); When I load them, I get no errors etc, (using a MovieClipLoader) - then in the onLoadInit function of the MCL - I create another empty movieclip and use bitmap.draw to copy the image. Apparently the bitmap.draw is causing a Sandbox error - why? If the first instance is loading the image fine, why would it have a problem the second time?

RE: [Flashcoders] Bitmap.draw versus MovieClipLoader
Perfect it told me exactly what I needed, but I'm not sure I understand why Macromedia (not adobe in this case) went in that direction - are they trying to protect pixel access for third party images?

It sounds like you are encountering a security sandbox issue. Do all the files exist on the same server and same domain?

I have an interesting scenario that I wonder if anyone else has seen and found a workaround.. Scenario: I have a movieclip that has a background attached at depth 0. The user then can place external images onto this MovieClip at increasing depths. Each of these are created using createEmptyMC - then the image is loaded within that empty movieclip. The user can then save this new image, which behind the scenes it creates an array of pixel values from the parent MovieClip of all the clips - then a web service creates an image and then flash does a getURL for the returned image path.

I have verified that getPixel32 on the MC is returning FF for each pixel - only in scenario #2. In either case, Printing the MC using the PrintJob class on the same MC - everything works fine. NOTES: Is it safe to assume that since running it from the SWF works, that this has nothing to-do with the parent movieclip and how getPixel32 get's it's information? But somehow IE/IIS is causing me some problems with how getPixel32 works on a MovieClip? Also - in ALL scenarios - both configurations are using the same server to process the image and return the valid path. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Flashcoders] Seeking Experienced Developer for Connecting Flash to Databases with Java
Hello, I'm working on a really sweet project and need some help from a fellow freelaner. If you are knowledgable in connecting Flash to databases (esp. Oracle) with Java, please contact me. Perhaps you can give me some pointers and or work with me as a consultant. Thanks for your help.

Re: [Flashcoders] WebServices support in AS3/FLCS3
AFAIK, there are no technotes on this issue (and related issues like Flash Remoting) or they're well hidden somewhere ;-) The issue has come up here before.. And here's are some (unanswered) topics on the Adobe Flash Forums about webservices and remoting http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15catid=250threadid=1264156 http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15catid=288threadid=1263696 http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15catid=194threadid=1272741 http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15catid=194threadid=1261146 http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15catid=194threadid=1266127 The only Adobe response I could find is from Bentley Wolfe, posted on 04/19/2007 where he says: quoteWe're working on a TechNote covering this, expected next week./quote I don't know how long a week is at Adobe, but over here it's 7 days ;-) Bentley also points to this example as a solution/replacement for AS3 Flash Remoting http://www.oscartrelles.com/archives/as3_flash_remoting_example There's already a few open source implemetations available on osflash.org Super Simple Remoting: http://osflash.org/projects/ssr AS3 Lightweight Remoting Framework: http://osflash.org/as3lrf With all that said, I think that having an official remoting implementation, like there was for previous Flash versions, would be desired. On top of that, there's no AS2 Remoting Component package for Flash CS3. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashremoting/downloads/components/ So in order to use AS2 Remoting in Flash CS3, one has to go and look for all the required classes/debugger/docs in the Flash 8 config and copy them over manually (or keep Flash 8 around for AS2 projects). Once again I think a few - important - things have been overlooked with this new Flash release. no Webservices no Remoting (part from using NetConnection) no Data components (WebServiceConnector, XMLConnector, RemotingConnector, DataHolder, DataSet..) no Tree component no Accordion component no Alert component no Window component no DateChooser component no DateField component no Menu component no Menubar component Guess it's time to dump Flash.. long live Flex ;-) regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: John Dowdell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 9:05 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] WebServices support in AS3/FLCS3 Enrique Chvez wrote: What happened with the webservices classes in AS3/Flash CS3? i can't believe they are gone.

RE: [Flashcoders] Bitmap.draw versus MovieClipLoader
I was using something like this for XML, but this gave me a really nice idea. I did find that Adobe had a much simpler version of the php file (two lines of code), that performed the same task. I decided to write an aspx page to perform the same task and to handle any type of page information. (A VERY slimmed down version of a reverse proxy server). So if anyone is looking for a similar solution, The link provided by Zeh is fine, also here are some others. A reverse proxy server in C# - perfect code to use as a blueprint or as-is. http://www.codeproject.com/cs/internet/reverseproxy.asp Adobe's scripts: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16520sliceId=2 If anyone else out there still has problems, I'll try to answer any questions.

I know for XML, it's a simple matter of createing a Microsoft.XMLHTTP object (in ASP/VBScript) and redirecting the information into the response object. Anyone know the object for an image and/or other HTML page? (e.g. Microsoft.HTML?? ) You can 'proxy' any kind of http file. It's a simple script on PHP, ASP, etc. For example, for a script that even forwards POST data, http://xmlrpcflash.mattism.com/proxy_info.php For images (or other type of data) you'd just need to change the content-type.

Re: [Flashcoders] Error Question AS3
I have no answer for you. But I can say that I too am getting those errors, but in a completely different application. I have written a class and am trying to instantiate it from my Main document class. The code seems to be correct, yet I am getting this error.

Hi. Thanks for the advice. Would this socekt work for Java? My client doesn't use MySQL. They reccommend Java and XML.
