Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Handle Leaks in Flash, anyone can help?
Hi James, you are right, I use a lot of EventDispatcher in the code. Most of the components throw events which are listened by other components in the scene. I have lot of components, more commonly, Tree, Scrollpanes, list box,etc etc.. in my XML if I command the object to be deleted, it gets deleted. If it were a movieclip in a scrollpane. i do : scrollpane.content.unloadMovie(); scrollpane.content.removeMovieClip(); and then i unload and remove the scrollpane itself. if say, the XML commands the object to be created, i would also add eventHandlers for the object I created.. eg: object.addActionListener(enter,Delegate.create(this,enterActionHandler)); I dont remember adding a removeActionListener method when the object is deleted (the deletion command is sent through the XML, which makes the VM to delete the object)..I will do that ASAP and see how that helps.. This is a good lead.. Are there anything else associated with Action Listeners/Event Dipatchers that I missed out? One more thing, New listeners are NOT added to the existing object during 1 minute intervals, I add listeners only when I create a new object, in other words, if the server through the XML commands the client to create an object.

[Flashcoders] How to dynamically assign onRollOver events
Hiya, I am dynamically creating movie clips that I load external swfs into and
want these movie clips to fire onRollOver events though I'm not sure of the
syntax to do this. As you can see from my code i am loading the info from an
XML file.
If anyone knows how to do this I would be really grateful.
Here's where I am at the mo (which does not work)
var headTarget:MovieClip =
race_mc[cage_mc][pic+(i+1)+_mc];
race_mc[cage_mc][pic+(i+1)+_mc].myName =
xml.firstChild.childNodes[(courseNo-1)].firstChild.childNodes[i].nodeName;
race_mc[cage_mc][pic+(i+1)+_mc].onRollOver = function(){
trace(I AM A HEAD:+this.myName)
}

Google blocks transparent Flash in DIV layers, Google skips/blocks pages with DIV layers holding Flash published using an invisible background.

It never ever showed up in Google. Turns out this is the technique used for those floating ads that block normal HTML content and Google is setup to ignore those pages.

[Flashcoders] OT: Recommendation for new PC
I believe it is time to get a new PC as my current one just doesn't seem to be able to cope with Vista and Flash etc Anyway I normally buy Dells as I have a pretty good experience with them in the past however I thought things may have changed so I would appreciate any suggestions for a reasonable PC to run the latest version of Flash and Vista etc Here is what I have at the moment: Dell Dimension 4600 Intel Pentium 3.6GHZ 2 GB Ram GeForce 7600 Vista Ultimate This may seem like a reasonable system but it just can't cope. This may indeed be a problem with the PC but I have reformatted, and performed every test possible on the RAM, Hard Drives, etc and I can find no errors. Hence I have decided an upgrade is required. My budget is up to £1000 but if I can get something for less than that all the better! Any suggestions most appreciated!

i think that means that you have three arrays of the B1:B7 Math.pow()

var myArray1 = [ Math.pow(B1,1),...,Math.pow(B7,1)];
var myArray2 = [Math.pow(B1,2),...,Math.pow(B7,2)];

=LINEST(A1:A7,B1:B7^{1,2,3})
And I'm having issues with this last bit:

Let's say B1:B7 is an array from 1 to 7 considering this Excel notation:
B1:B7
It would look like this in ActionScript:
var n1:Number = 1;
var n2:Number = 2;
var n3:Number = 3;
var n4:Number = 4;
var n5:Number = 5;
var n6:Number = 6;
var n7:Number = 7;
var myArray:Array = [n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7];
Now, if I change this, considering the following Excel notation:
B1:B7^2
It would look like this ActionScript:
var n1:Number = Math.pow(1, 2);
var n2:Number = Math.pow(2, 2);
var n3:Number = Math.pow(3, 2);
var n4:Number = Math.pow(4, 2);
var n5:Number = Math.pow(5, 2);
var n6:Number = Math.pow(6, 2);
var n7:Number = Math.pow(7, 2);

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: Handle Leaks in Flash, anyone can help?
Removing the MovieClips or objects does not remove the listeners to that object. You would have to explicitly remove the listeners first then remove your MovieClip/object.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tips and advice for online bugtracking
Hi, use: * xray - osflash.org/xray * a logger - also in xray or one of the other available loggers * assertions (detect and throw errors at runtime) * visible runtime exception handling With respect to the last part, see http://objectpainters.com/blog/?p=32 The main idea behind that last point is something I find very useful, normally when you use Flash's exception mechanism, as in throw new Error (Boe); nothing shows up if you don't handle and catch it. We use a custom error class which prints messages on the screen if the errors are not caught. Kinda like how the new flash player does it, but then for as2. In addition the assertions are something I use very often. Eg, If you are sure that loading of that specific xml file cannot go wrong and should parse without any problems, why not assert it? greetz JC On 7/10/07, Marcelo Wolfgang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I have the type of problem I hate the most when developing flash.

Don't remember where it was posted, but there is a serious problem with DIV layers holding transparent Flash - Google considers it cloaking/spam. I can see that. We have no transparency though - ie wmode is not set. We're just using the div to hold plain html content that matches the Flash content - minus the pretty graphics and images. From my research thus far, this technique has been fine by Google on thousands of sites, and is recommended by Geoff Stearns -creator of SWFObject. Since it allows for accessibility as well, I can't see why it would be an issue.

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: Handle Leaks in Flash, anyone can help?
Varun, To make sure that any listener are properly removed and the way I usually handle EventDispatcher, is to first create a private variable for the delegate. private var onStatus_func : Function; Then in an init function or elsewhere prior to adding the listeners: onStatus_func = Delegate.create (this, updateStatus); then, adding the listener: myClass.addEventListener (onStatus, onStatus_func); you would then remove it as: myClass.removeEventListener (onStatus, onStatus_func); This is one of the few ways that will properly remove the eventListener. I tend to keep them in a destroy function to make it easy. If you are throwing the delegate in as such: myClass.addEventListener (onStatus, Delegate.create (this, updateStatus)); myClass.removeEventListener (onStatus, Delegate.create (this, updateStatus)); This will not work. It's how the function is referenced. I've done simple tests with components to verify that it doesn't work.

Removing the MovieClips or objects does not remove the listeners to that object. You would have to explicitly remove the listeners first then remove your MovieClip/object.

[Flashcoders] Strange class scoping problem?
Have a scoping issue of some kind within a Class itself, seems strange.
Flash 9 AS2 SWF.
I have a class that handles some XML-RPC calls. Works great from the _root
proper, but fails when i call it from within a function... (without getting
into all the little specifics of the code, below is enough I think to
explain it)...
some Conduit Class code:
function Conduit()
{
owner = this;
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize( owner );
replyXML = new XML();
send_lv = new LoadVars();
};
...
// This won't get called by interval timeline code below in this email
private function doGetAuto( sSubstring:String, sZipcode:String, sMax:String
):Void
{
trace( doGetAuto );
replyXML = new XML();
replyXML.ignoreWhite = true;
replyXML.onLoad = Delegate.create( owner, autoResponse );
send_lv = new LoadVars();
send_lv.q = sSubstring;
send_lv.zip = sZipcode;
send_lv.max = sMax;
send_lv.sendAndLoad( sAutoCompleteURL, replyXML, GET );
};
private function autoResponse( success:Boolean ):Void
{
if( success )
{
dispatchEvent( {target:owner, type:autoCompleteResponse,
data:replyXML} );
} else
{
dispatchEvent( {target:owner, type:genericError } );
}
};
public function getAutoCompleteMatches( sSubstring:String,
sZipcode:String, sMax:String ):Void
{
trace( getAutoCompleteMatches );
doGetAuto( sSubstring, sZipcode, sMax );
};
...
now an example of some implementing timeline code:
// Works, see the doGetAuto traced
var myConduit:Conduit = new Conduit();
myConduit.getAutoCompleteMatches( iron, 01701, 6 );
// Doesn't work, stops at the first trace within the class (
getAutoCompleteMatches ) (in place of code above)
var myConduit:Conduit = new Conduit();
function createFirst():Void
{
login_dialogBox_mc.entry_txt.onChanged = entryChange;
};
function entryChange():Void
{
clearTimeout( nAutoTimer );
nAutoTimer = setTimeout( myConduit.getAutoCompleteMatches, 500,
login_dialogBox_mc.entry_txt.text, user.zipcode, 6 );
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Tips and advice for online bugtracking
You can enable Remote Debugging in the Flash IDE and then start a remote debug session (from within the IDE) while browsing the site. File Publish Settings Flash tab Select: Permit debugging (and fill in a password if you want) Publish the swf (so it has the debug permission baked in). Debug Begin Remote Debug Session ActionScript 2.0 You should then see a message in the Output panel saying: Waiting for Player to connect... Open the flash app in browser, you'll be asked where the debugger is running: localhost.. and off you go.. regards, Muzak I have this installed but I can't make it work ( just lost about an hour in the morning trying to make this work again with no success ) ... I've tried the debbugers Hans told, but none worked ( or it didn't install on CS 3, or my dumbness can't make them work since I'm a low to mid level actionscripter )... I still can't figure out what's happening on the browser that make the movie do not work ( it is calling a moviecliploader.onloadinit() but it's not displaying the the loaded movieclip ... ) Thanks again ___ 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

Probably totally old school, but you could put a textarea component on the root of your movie. call it debug_tf. when you want to trace as you might locally, just do: // trace(xml loaded...); _level0.debug_tf.text += xml loaded...\n; fancy it up by adding a tiny button that can show or hide the textbox.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mixing data types in an array...
Hi,
well in the end everything is an object, so you are not really mixing
datatypes.
It all depends on the scope of your project I think, but seeing the code
below doesn't make me wanna be the maintainer of that project when its
author goes on vacation or sickleave :).
I think that in asking 'is this acceptable?' you are already answering your
own question. If you think its dubious, others will think its dubious.

[Flashcoders] reposting - Opening links in new window from ListBox component -
Hi all,
I'm re-posting hoping one of you will have pity on me!
I'm trying to get the links I have entered in a ListBox component to
open in a new window.
(think target=_blank)
I used the following code which seemed to work fine on a Mac, but didn't
work at all on a PC.
function handler() {
getURL(dropdown.getSelectedItem().data, _blank);
}
Thanks in advance, I'm having trouble accessing the archives, so please
forgive me if this has been answered before.

[Flashcoders] AS3 SWC Component assets not exporting
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem... and what solutions you may have. I'm creating custom components that aren't extending the built-in UIComponent class. My component .fla is built using a boundingBox_mc in Frame 1, and the component assets in Frame 2 (same as AS2 V2 components), however when I export the .swc none of it's assets get exported along with it. I have been able to get this to work as an .fla component, but this project requires that it uses .swc components. sigh :( Can anyone shed some light on why the assets aren't being compiled into the component .swc ? Does Flash CS3 just no longer support this, or is there a crucial new undocumented step I'm missing?

[Flashcoders] +Infinite Loop -Dignity
I feel really stupid right now. No, not that stupid. I mean really stupid.
Take the highest level of stupid you can imagine and double that. Yes, now
you've got it!
I have a class named Game.
Game.start() calls setInterval(this, update, 1000).
Game.update() calls _gameScene.update().
_gameScene.update() has the following loop inside of it:
for (var i:Number = 0; i != elements.length; i++) {
elements[i].animation.update();
}
That FOR loop puts my humble PC into a coma. The variable 'elements' is not
undefined, and when I call trace(elements.length) I get '2'. I tried
clearing ASO cache (whatever that's worth right now) as a silly precaution.
Excuse me whilst I hang myself.

RE: [Flashcoders] +Infinite Loop -Dignity
Is it possible that the i != elements.length inside the for loop leads to
trouble? Maybe if it's change to ielements.length will be ok

RE: [Flashcoders] +Infinite Loop -Dignity
Why do you have so many hoops to jump through?
Try changing your for loop to this:
for (var i:Number = 0; i elements.length; i++)
