Re: [Flashcoders] sending information from HTML to swf

2007-07-26 Thread natalia Vikhtinskaya
I found what I need at
http://www.mustardlab.com/developer/
The only question for help.
I want to have flash player on the second html page. So I need after
clicking on link on the first html page send mp3 name to the second html
page as url with name.Then I should take this name from this URL and send to
swf. I understand that is not flash question but maybe anybody can show
javascript that takes information from URL.
Thanks

[Flashcoders] Cell renderers in AS 3 UI Data Grid

2007-07-26 Thread John Skidgel

Hi List,

Has anyone tried to have a column use a combo box inside a cell in a  
AS3 data grid? I've done a fair amount of searching help and livedocs  
and can't find any clear examples of how to do this. I believe I'd  
need to attach a cellRenderer to the column I'd like to use and write  
a class for it. The class would extend combo box and whatever I  
define to be in the instance of the combo box will magically appear  
in the cell. Does this sound right?


Cheers,

John

[Flashcoders] Re:Displaying Chinese character set via XML

2007-07-26 Thread Joe Cutting


I cannot get a dynamic text field to display Chinese characters from
XML. Results vary from question marks in the field, to undefined,
to blank. What should happen is that Flash derives elements from the
XML and displays them in the textfield. I'm using XMLSA to parse the xml.

I've no experience of importing chinese characters from XML but I did 
once do something similar with
Azeri (as spoken in Azerbaijan). I seem to remember having problems 
with Textpad as an XML editor and
ended up using a freeware editor called Notepad++ (google it). Can't 
remember the exact issue but it was something to do with unicode encoding.


Hope that helps

Joe

yeah eka that seems to be a good solution but a bit resourceful depending
how deep the nested mcs are.

Surely there must be a native property or medoth to find the tree/path

For the moment you can test :

public class test extends Sprite

/**

 */
public function test()
{

var container:Sprite = new Sprite() ;

var container2:Sprite = new Sprite() ;
container2.graphics.beginFill(0xFF, 1) ;
container2.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 150) ;

addChild(container) ;
container.addChild(container2) ;

var target:String = getDisplayPathName(container2) ;

trace( target ) ;

}

static public function getDisplayPathName( display:DisplayObject
):String
{

var parents:Array = [] ;
var parent:* = display ;

while( true )
{
parents.push( parent.name ) ;
parent = parent.parent ;
if (parent.name == null)
{
break ;
}
}

parents.reverse() ;

return parents.join( . ) ;

}

}

but it's not the better solution lol

eKA+ :)

 Hi all,

 I am wondering how can I manage to find the path to where a MC belongs?

 in AS2 when you wanted the target to where the MC was all you had to do
 was
 to trace the movieclip instance. For instance cosider the following
 example:

 var mc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie(something , something0 , 0);
 var mc = mc.something0.attachMovie(somethingelse , somethingelse0 ,
 0);
 trace(mc) // _level0.something0.somethingelse0


 In AS3 since everything is a class everytime I trace an object i get 
 its

 class name.

 So is there anyway of know the tree to where a mc belongs?

 thanks

When I saw how AIR could do such a great job of fusing SWF and HTML,
I guess I thought it would have similar capability with PDF. Instead
it seems more like PDF is bolted on to the side. It is always on top,
uses the Reader controls, and has very limited connectivity to the
rest of the app.

Acrobat remains one of the most important file formats, with the
least integration functionality or interactive design tools. Ever try
making an interactive PDF in Acrobat pro, or that LiveCycle thing?

[Flashcoders] object Arrays

2007-07-26 Thread ilteris kaplan

Hello All,

Basically I am trying to create a object which I can pass to my array  
and then access some properties of this object. Only problem is, I am  
trying to achieve this in a class.


Basically I declared my array as a class variable and then  
instantiated it in my constructor function in the class. I do have  
this function which is supposedly to create an object with certain  
properties.





private function lizPieceObj(levelup:MovieClip, lizPieceMc:MovieClip,  
masker:MovieClip, levelMasker:MovieClip) {

// build an obj to mimick 2d array.

this.levelup = levelup;
this.lizPieceMC = lizPieceMC;
this.masker = masker;
this.levelMasker = levelMasker;
}


Here is, in another function, I am trying to create this object.
	piecesArray[index] = new lizPieceObj(levelup, lizPieceMc, masker,  
levelMasker);


in order to access them later like
piecesArray[index].levelup, piecesArray[index].masker etc.

But upon compilingthe code, I do get this error. There is no property  
with the name levelup. There is no property with the name lizPiece,  
There is no property with the name masker etc.


you get the idea.
I am assuming this is something to do with scope. I am yet not sure  
how to deal with it though.

Thanks a lot.

Show the whole class definition. The compiler is pretty definite but you 
have not shown the part that it is complaining about. You are only show 
the part where it realizes that a complaint is in order. The error is 
higher up in the code.

Re: [Flashcoders] object Arrays

2007-07-26 Thread Paul Andrews
It's not really good paractice to name classes with Obj in the title, but 
anyway:


class lizPieceObj {

   public var levelup:MovieClip;
   public varlizPieceMC:MovieClip;
   public varmasker:MovieClip;
   public varlevelMasker:MovieClip;

   public function lizPieceObj(levelup:MovieClip, lizPieceMc:MovieClip,
masker:MovieClip, 
levelMasker:MovieClip) {

// build an obj to mimick 2d array.
this.levelup = levelup;
this.lizPieceMC = lizPieceMC;
this.masker = masker;
  this.levelMasker = levelMasker;
}
}

I haven't checked it. You mention a class variable in your description, I'm 
not sure if you really mean a property (instance variable) or a class 
property (static variable), or if your constructor is intentionally private.

[Flashcoders] DataGrid in Flash CS3 with AS3

2007-07-26 Thread Paul Steven
I am still struggling to create a flash AS3 application that needs to
display a datagrid of data similar to the following:

http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/mark_sheet.jpg

I would appreciate advice as to whether the datagrid is the most suitable
approach to the display of data like this? I hadn't anticipated it would be
this difficult to display data like this!!!

The bits I am struggling on are multi-line text and inserting a drop down
list in the datagrid. I also have another screen that needs to display
images in a datagrid.

The trouble with multiline text is my text is dynamically read in from a
server generated xml data so I do not know how many lines of text it will
be. 

And with the dropdown list I am just a bit out of my depth in terms of
inserting anything other than text into a datagrid - it certainly doesn't
seem to be the easiest task to do!

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

RE: [Flashcoders] Cell renderers in AS 3 UI Data Grid

2007-07-26 Thread Kalani Bright
Aloha John,

Check this out.  It will help you understand cellrenderers.

http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=B4AED 

CellRenderers are a bit confusing at first glance but once you understand UI
components they get less so.  Really you can have anything you want in a
cell.  Just createChildren the instances...
(createClassObject or createObject)

There was also something in the documentation which linked to a page which
didn't exist but if you take that title and do a search on the internet for
it you'll find some downloadable examples.  Sorry for being vague here but
I'm actually on my way out the door.

Anyway the article link above explains everything you should need.

attach a cellRenderer to the column I'd like to use and write a class for
it. The class would extend combo box and whatever I define to be in the
instance of the combo box will magically appear in the cell. Does this sound
right?

Cheers,

John

RE: [Flashcoders] object Arrays

Are you declaring your properties public or have public getters to access
them within your class?

Subject: [Flashcoders] object Arrays

Hello All,

Basically I am trying to create a object which I can pass to my array  
and then access some properties of this object. Only problem is, I am  
trying to achieve this in a class.

Basically I declared my array as a class variable and then  
instantiated it in my constructor function in the class. I do have  
this function which is supposedly to create an object with certain  
properties.




private function lizPieceObj(levelup:MovieClip, lizPieceMc:MovieClip,  
masker:MovieClip, levelMasker:MovieClip) {
// build an obj to mimick 2d array.

this.levelup = levelup;
this.lizPieceMC = lizPieceMC;
this.masker = masker;
this.levelMasker = levelMasker;
}


Here is, in another function, I am trying to create this object.
piecesArray[index] = new lizPieceObj(levelup, lizPieceMc, masker,  
levelMasker);

in order to access them later like
piecesArray[index].levelup, piecesArray[index].masker etc.

But upon compilingthe code, I do get this error. There is no property  
with the name levelup. There is no property with the name lizPiece,  
There is no property with the name masker etc.

you get the idea.
I am assuming this is something to do with scope. I am yet not sure  
how to deal with it though.
Thanks a lot.

Re: [Flashcoders] [CS3 - AS3] Getting BitmapData from a Library image

Indeed.  I should have thought of that. Its base class is BitmapData and it
requires two parameters (w,h) when creating a new object.

Many thanks!

I am stumped.

 I have an image in my Library and I have set it to export to AS and in
 frame
 1.  I have given it the Linkage of Brick and the
 flash.display.BitmapData
 .

 With just that, I am able to build a SWF with no errors.

 But I want to use the image's BitmapData to build a larger image that
will
 be displayed on Stage.  So, to that end I am instancing the image from
the
 Library via

 imageSource = new Brick();

 This should make an instance of the image so I can then grab its
 BitmapData.  but I get the following error for the indicated code above.

 1136: Incorrect number of arguments.  Expected 2.

 Thoughts?

[Flashcoders] Textfield over Bitmap Issue

2007-07-26 Thread Michael Trim
Is the following a known issue? If so anyone know what I can do about
it?

If you look at the screenshot (linked below) there is a coloured line
along the top of the word Germany (it appears all around while tweening,
on the outline of the textbox).

It is a dynamically created textfield over a dynamically loaded bitmap
with smoothing applied as the parent sprite is all scaled from 0.3 to 1
(shown at scale of 1) using Tweener.

It's a real issue, as when it's tweening in particular, it's very
obvious.

I thought it might be the AntiAliasType.ADVANCED but it appears when I
use NORMAL too.

All thoughts gratefully received.

Ya know what would be great for the next release of Director.
If Lingo would have some native support for those classes and features 
that AIR supports.  So, you make an AIR app, but realize that you need 
some if this extra functionality that only Director can give you.  Just 
take your AIR project and make a projector in Director.  And give Flash 
direct access to Xtras without having to go through some kind of 
Director proxy.

Would be nice I think!

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 instantiating a new class object from a string value

MaTT, 

See getDefinitionByName() function in flash.utils
It will give you a reference to the class name that is specified by a
string.
You can then use that reference to get an instance of that class.

Of course you must make sure the class is loaded.

Re: [Flashcoders] getURL with doc doesn't work in IE

2007-07-26 Thread Darren Bowers

Hi Daniel,

Yes we have encountered this quite a lot as we used to link to quite a few
docs from a flash movie from CDROMs. Never really had a fix for it except to
create an HTML document that automatically redirected to the DOC from
within. Problem was, you couldnt send a query string to the HTML via
flash so you had to create one HTML file per DOC file. Not nice but works
for IE6.


From memory, IE6 nicely handles Word within the new browser window opened

but FF/Mozilla will open a new (blank) window and then spawn Word to handle
the DOC file via a dialog box. A bit messy especially if the user is running
FF tabbed browsing.

We have since tried to avoid opening DOCs within Flash ever since.

[Flashcoders] Memory issue with large images

2007-07-26 Thread Lori Hutchek

Hi All,

Sorry if this is an old issue thats been discussed but couldn't find 
anything in google or the archives. I'm building a program that loads in 
images that could be over 2mb and we have noticed that the memory usage 
spikes after the image is loaded. Not only that but depending on if u 
use AS2 or AS3, memory usage could be higher in one while the other is 
lower.


We are assuming this is Flash decompressing the image for view, but I'm 
curious if thats the truth. Any one know??


Here are some test results:
File size: 4.26mb - Memory usage: (AS2) 61.2mb  - (AS3) 55mb
File size: 88k - Memory usage: (AS2) 9.9k - (AS3) 11k

 Hi all,

 I am wondering how can I manage to find the path to where a MC belongs?

 in AS2 when you wanted the target to where the MC was all you had to do
 was
 to trace the movieclip instance. For instance cosider the following
 example:

 var mc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie(something , something0 , 0);
 var mc = mc.something0.attachMovie(somethingelse , somethingelse0 ,
 0);
 trace(mc) // _level0.something0.somethingelse0


 In AS3 since everything is a class everytime I trace an object i get its
 class name.

 So is there anyway of know the tree to where a mc belongs?

 thanks

Hi Frank,
  Having had a think about it, that's not _much_ different to what
Delegate is doing under the hood - just Delegate's wrapper is much
much lighter weight. Your version does make sure the returned event is
properly typed, which is an advantage. I think I'm going with another
answer in the end, but thanks. :-)

Oh, and reading the link you supplied, the only concrete suggestion is
from Aral Balkan, who suggests (as someone did in an earlier thread)
that you subclass the Event class.

How would that help in my case? Any suggestions? To go back to my
original example, if you assume class A is a black box that fires an
event of class Event (Event.COMPLETE), we have no way (to the best of
my knowledge) to make class A produce subclasses of Event instead;
unless the suggestion is to subclass A to produce different events,
which (depending on A's implementation) could be very difficult.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to Avoid Terminate Script Message

2007-07-26 Thread R�kos Attila

Split the parsing process into chunks (e.g. parse maximum n nodes in a
frame). Or if your data is static and will not change (e.g. it is
distributed on CD-ROM, etc.), convert the XML into an AS source file of
arrays and objects, and compile it into the main SWF or into a
separate movie, which can be loaded by the main movie (this eliminates
parsing at all).

Hello there people:

I'm creating a projector that parses a XML DataBase but parsing takes about

Any suggestion?? Is there any way to set it disabled on my Projector.

[Flashcoders] [JOB] Flash coder needed ASAP -- AS2

2007-07-26 Thread g . wygonik
Hey all

The company i work for is looking for an Actionscript person to work with me
(and a couple server peeps and designers).

We're a social-network development company with 97% of new projects being
100% Flash front ends. Our projects are mostly for network television
properties, and based around user-generated content (think MySpace meets
YouTube meets Food Network -- but all in Flash).

What we need is someone who can jump in, get up to speed in a matter of
hours and use existing FLAs, code, and components and build sites based on
new specs. Design skills are really helpful in seeing designer mock-ups come
to life and keeping things looking good, but an all out animator/illustrator
is NOT what we need.

Where: your living room -- which is hopefully somewhere in the US, because
we can't deal with timezone differences real well. (Or, we do have offices
in NYC and LA)
When: NOW!! Full-time commitment, please.
Pay: negotiable (not my part to deal with)

You: AS2 master, have built some RIA's, some games, some tools, etc.,
knowledge of building and using components, class-based coding, can work
under super-tight-need-it-yesterday deadlines where specs change two or
three times in the course of an afternoon, data stuff like XML and JSON,
building re-usable widgets, can work with ugly i just needed it to work
code and not bitch all day about proper commenting style. Photoshop skill
is most delightful. Extra bonus for Yahoo Flash maps knowledge, 3D concepts,
Red5, and any of the various styles of throat singing.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might get to meet reality TV stars (the boss
is one). It's a decent gig. And you get to work with me! (joy, i know)

If you are interested, please email me OFF LIST (gwygonik @ gmail [dot] com)
with some links, code samples, general experience, etc., and we'll talk
about it.

Cheers
g.

I'm not sure about the actual code to instantiate, however make sure
that the class you are creating is actually compiled in the first

will not be compiled and will not be able to be created at run-time.

Re: [Flashcoders] Displaying Chinese character set via XML

2007-07-26 Thread Kenneth Kawamoto
If you're using Unicode for your XML, the language used for text does 
not make any difference if it's French or Chinese. But your TextField 
needs characters embedded to display the text - if you're not using a 
device font.


I just created a bare-bones movie with a TextField on Stage, with SimSun 
all Chinese characters embedded. Then used makeXMLSA() to parse an XML 
with Chinese text. It displays just fine. (But the SWF is 6.5MB)


By the way there's no need to wrap the text with CDATA unless you want 
to escape illegal characters.


Kenneth Kawamoto
http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/
I cannot get a dynamic text field to display Chinese characters from 
XML. Results vary from question marks in the field, to undefined, 
to blank. What should happen is that Flash derives elements from the 
XML and displays them in the textfield. I'm using XMLSA to parse the xml.


Another language (French) works fine. Anyone have a Chinese example 
that works? Here's what I've got so far:

* TrueType font is SimSun.
* XML is being saved as UTF-8 in TextPad and declares UTF-8 as 
the encoding language. Also tried this all using NotePad. Got both 
text editors to show the Chinese characters as the actual characters 
and also as boxes. Tried saving as UTF-8 and also as Big-Endian. I'm 
using CDATA around all text.

* XML is being pasted from MS Word. Also tried pasting from Excel.
* Flash textfield: Set for HTML. I've tried various combinations 
of embedding Chinese characters, including embedding ALL Chinese 
characters (lots of bytes!). I've also tried populating the text 
field with ALL the Chinese text, and using Auto-fill to embed those 
characters. I'm not using any bolding or italics.


I'm losing hair over this and would really appreciate either a 
working example (including the xml and flash files) or some more 
troubleshooting methods.


Thanks,
Marc

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Events

2007-07-26 Thread Ian Thomas

Hi Muzak,

  I think what I've already decided (having slept on it) to go for
something similar to your 3rd method - to restructure (class that
behave like) A so that they can carry (and return) context info.

 The reason I finally decided to go for that rather than Delegate is
actually to deal with garbage collection; simply to make it easier for
the coders using the API, as otherwise they'd have to track created
Delegate objects so that they can be removed again, which is just an
unnecessary headache.

 So; I'll try this through this iteration of the framework APIs and
see how it goes.

Thanks for your suggestions,
  Ian

Third would be to have class A dispatch a custom event which holds the

flash.display.BitmapData

.

With just that, I am able to build a SWF with no errors.

But I want to use the image's BitmapData to build a larger image that will
be displayed on Stage.  So, to that end I am instancing the image from the
Library via

imageSource = new Brick();

This should make an instance of the image so I can then grab its
BitmapData.  but I get the following error for the indicated code above.

1136: Incorrect number of arguments.  Expected 2.

Thoughts?

Hi, I'm trying to instantiate a new class object from a xml attribute which
is a string, but its not having any of it.
I've tried casting the string to an object and also using this['class_id']
etc but no luck.

Does someone have a solution?

Thanks,

MaTT

Thanks, I believe Dreamweaver is suppose to work with TFS through MSSCCI
Provider interface, but I haven't discovered how to set it up...

AFAIK, Flash source control only works with VSS 6.

Greetings All,

Is anyone using Flash with Team Foundation Server for source control?
If so, do you mind sharing the steps it took to setup the connection to
TFS?

Thanks,

Doug Coning

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 instantiating a new class object from a string value

2007-07-26 Thread Jake Prime

I'm not sure about the actual code to instantiate, however make sure
that the class you are creating is actually compiled in the first
place. If it is not explicitly mentioned in your code somewhere it
will not be compiled and will not be able to be created at run-time.

Re: [Flashcoders] Textfield over Bitmap Issue

2007-07-26 Thread Zeh Fernando

Is the following a known issue? If so anyone know what I can do about
it? If you look at the screenshot (linked below) there is a coloured
line along the top of the word Germany (it appears all around while 
tweening, on the outline of the textbox).


Hey Michael,

I've seen this happening before on different situations, but it's not 
very consistent - it basically depends on the number of objects piled on 
top of each other, player version, amount of data on memory, etc. 
There's no sure way to trigger it, nor to fix it.


The only solution I've found is changing the way some of the objects are
rendered - either by using different blend modes, turning on
cacheAsBitmap, or applying dummy filters - just something to make it
snap out of the wrong rendering path. At one previous work I've even
found that if I had one transparent box on top of the offending area,
it'd force a complete redraw on every frame and fix the issue completely.

Also, if you're using the beta player, well, it has a lot more of these
issues than the normal versions, so I wouldn't use it as a reference.

[Flashcoders] [CS3 - AS3] Getting BitmapData from a Library image

2007-07-26 Thread Charles Parcell

I am stumped.

I have an image in my Library and I have set it to export to AS and in frame
1.  I have given it the Linkage of Brick and the flash.display.BitmapData
.

With just that, I am able to build a SWF with no errors.

But I want to use the image's BitmapData to build a larger image that will
be displayed on Stage.  So, to that end I am instancing the image from the
Library via

imageSource = new Brick();

This should make an instance of the image so I can then grab its
BitmapData.  but I get the following error for the indicated code above.

1136: Incorrect number of arguments.  Expected 2.

Thoughts?
