RE: [Flashcoders] How to get the MD5 hash value of a file
Thanks for the reply Jim
I am using Zinc and have managed to get it working so I can drag and drop
the file onto the application.
I have found a MD5 class now but the value it is giving me does not match
the value the client is comparing it against.
Here is a snippit of my code
ByteLoader = new URLLoader();
ByteLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
ByteLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, loadFileComplete);
FileRequest = new URLRequest (passed_File_Path);
ByteLoader.load (FileRequest);
}
public function loadFileComplete(event:Event){
trace (loadFileComplete);
var md5Value = MD5.encrypt (ByteLoader.data);
This is the MD5 Class
http://gsolofp.blogspot.com/2006/01/actionscript-3-md5-and-sha1.html
Any idea why I am not getting the same MD5 value? Is it something to do with
how I am reading in the file data?
Thanks
Paul

Nothing built in, though if you can read the file into a ByteArray, it's
fairly simple to modify one of the existing MD5 hash routines to take in
a ByteArray instead. For example, if you were using the open-source
as3corelib project's MD5 class you can just change in the parameter type
to a ByteArray, and then modify the createBlocks() method to do the same
and read in the i'th byte rather than calling s.charCodeAt().
However, there's a big caveat--unless you're planning on doing this from
an Adobe AIR (formerly Apollo) application or a third-party projector
(e.g. Zinc, SWF Studio, SWHX and the like), you're probably out of luck.
As far as I know neither the standalone or plugin Flash Player, nor the
standard web browsers allow programmatic access to client-side files
scheduled for upload--typically, you'd need to have the user actually
upload them and then round-trip the file back from the server to have
access to the content. :(
You might be able to do it via an ActiveX control or a Java applet that
has the appropriate permissions, though this may require an additional
dialog requesting the user to grant escalated privileges.

Re: [Flashcoders] Iterator question
Hello :)
AST'r is the code example ;)
http://code.google.com/p/astr/
You install the sources (and the sources of VEGAS) and you can read the
source code to understand my methodology to create an application.
AST'r is a Conceptual framework (templates)..
With AST'r i'm going to write tutorials to understand the FrontController
and MVC pattern with VEGAS, the Localization and config tools based on eden
(http://code.google.com/p/edenrr/ - like JSON but more complete ), my W3C
DOM2/3 event model in AS2/AS3/SSAS (
http://code.google.com/p/vegas/wiki/VegasTutorialsEvents) etc...
For the moment in AST'r you can find in AS2 the main source code with an
easy example to create the basic implementation of the application :
http://astr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/AS2/trunk/src/astro/
To test and launch the code you can open the AS2/trunk/bin/_fla/asto.fla
file and compile with Flash or MTASC.
You can find too ... two examples :
http://astr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/AS2/trunk/examples/
- eGallery : A first example to creates a dynamic picture gallery with local
data or MYSQL/AMFPHP datas
- eChat (in progress, no stable for the moment) : an example to use VEGAS
with an client/server(FMS) application

Why not use a hashtable instead of an array? Give your elements all
unique IDs (you could even just do an incrementing integer). A
hashtable would give you faster lookup (don't have to iterate over the
array searching for it) and you can remove hashtable entries without
messing up any kind of ordering.

Hello list,
i have a page object that contains has a Array that holds
pageElements. This is a storage for elements with an iPageElement
interface.
The page object has an destroy() method. When page.destroy() is
called, it will loop trough the page.pageElements Array using an
iterator. Every iPageElement broadcasts an onElementKilled message
when is has been destroyed. When a pageElement broadcast this
message,
the page need to continue in deleting the next element in the
page.pageElement Array.
The callback method onElementKilled in the page instance, searches
for
the element that has been deleted and then removes it from the
page.pageElements Array. This is where i think a problem rises,
because if the page.pageElements array is updated during the process,
the index does not match the element to remove anymore. How can I
solve this potential risk?
Another question, the array that is passes into the iterator is a
reference to the pageElements Array. Does this mean, that if I delete
an element from this array from within the iterator, the
page.pageElements array is modified?
I hope my question is clear..
thank you in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] creating variable names dynamically in AS3
Hello :)
for me your notation in AS2 is false too... you can't use the 'var' keyword
and the 'this' keyword after. The compiler throw an error.
If you want use dynamic variables ... for me the best way it's an HashMap or
an Object :
# Use an Object :
var items = {} ;
for (var i:Number = 0 ; i10 ; i++)
{
var item:Type = new Type() ; // you can test the type of your object
with a local variable in your loop
items[ my_var + i] = item ;
}
# Use an HashMap implementation like my implementation in VEGAS :
http://code.google.com/p/vegas/
Documentation : http://vegas.ekameleon.net/docs/vegas/data/map/HashMap.html
Example :
import vegas.data.map.HashMap ;
var map:HashMap = new HashMap() ;
for (var i:Number = 0 ; i10 ; i++)
{
var value:Type = new Type() ; // you can test the type of your object
with a local variable in your loop
var name:String = key + i ;
map.put( key, value ) ;
}
trace( map.get( 'key2' ) ) ;
trace( map.containsKey('key3') ) ;
trace( map.isEmpty() ) ;
// etc..

[Flashcoders] General question about data management
I am creating a desktop application using Flash and Zinc. The first time it runs, it retrieves all the data by calling a series of scripts on a server. The data is returned as xml data. My question is, can I just store all the info in memory as xml data or do I need to create classes to store the info? I need to store all this data locally so that users can use the application later even if they are not online so I was planning on writing xml files to the users hard drive. Basically the application stores details of examinations and the students associated with each exam. I am currently reading in the xml data about each exam and using an examination class to create instances of each exam to store the properties. Likewise I am reading in all the data for each student and using a student class to create instances of each student to store the properties of each student. I am thinking that this is not necessary and that I could just read in the xml and use this xml data whilst the application is running. Any changes made by the user could directly change the xml data. Then when they choose to save their work, I would write the xml data to a text file. Any advice on this much appreciated as I am getting a bit confused and have spent days writing classes to deal with all the data management.

Re: [Flashcoders] General question about data management
storing the xml in memory is fine, personally i prefer using models, that way when the xml changes i just need to update the query which retrieves it and the function which writes xml again. also in the flex2 paradigm with databinding models are better to work with than xml IMO.

Re: [Flashcoders] General question about data management
I think that you are on the right track. Pass the XML sub-tree to the constructor to create the class. If you do this, then any change to the schema will only affect the class parsing that part of the tree. If you do the same thing to create the XML to be saved, you will get the same benefit on output. Minimize parsing at each level so that each object only knows its own XML structure and loads its own properties. If it sees a child it should call a constructor to get the child object built. You code should be very robust and easy to maintain. A monolithic parsing engine that maintains a complex XML file is going to be a headache every step of the way.

Likewise I am reading in all the data for each student and using a student class to create instances of each student to store the properties of each student. I am thinking that this is not necessary and that I could just read in the xml and use this xml data whilst the application is running. Any changes made by the user could directly change the xml data. Then when they choose to save their work, I would write the xml data to a text file. Any advice on this much appreciated as I am getting a bit confused and have spent days writing classes to deal with all the data management.

RE: [Flashcoders] [AS3] Using ByteArray as a FLV holder
I must correct that, that is a swf hack to inject sound into a swf and the load with the loader.loadBytes. I'm now trying to do the same with a flv. I've read a lot and found that injecting bytes into netstream isn't possible. Bernard -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens T.

Re: [Flashcoders] Rotate, Scale and _x, _y
There isn't a way to rotate without changing the x and y. But it is all just math.

But everytime i rotate, it changes my _x and _y and is a little confused to make operations that i used to do like localToGlobal (to know center of screen respect image and zoom from there), startDrag (to mark limits), and a much more... there is anyway to rotate without changing _x and _y??? i tried to copy image with bitmapData and apply a matrix with rotation, but is the same situation...

[Flashcoders] Re: Parse/ Create swf via Actionscript 3.0
I was going to start this a few months ago and then found some perl modules that do it: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=swfmode=all My project is more suited for server-side swf generation, but these could be ported to as3 fairly easily. hope it helps, Alan Curious if anybody knows of a library or is interested in working on one for swf creation via actionscript? In AS3, via ByteArray manipulations it's possible to read/decompile swf file as a stream of bytes, and also generate create an swf entirely via actionscript! e.g. http://www.bytearray.org/?p=17 this could be used for generator or swfmill like functionality, embedding graphics instead of having to constantly load them, even web based live preview of the file being created. I know the swf specification exists in order to figure out. So I could figure it out, but wanted to see if anybody else had started on this first. https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=file%5Fformat ___ 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

Count Schemula wrote: Approximately when was Flash Player 9 first released? If you mean the first non-beta public release, June of last year (2006), I believe. Emmy Huang, the Flash Player Product Manager at Adobe, has been blogging about every major update to the Flash Player since back in the days of Flash Player 8.5 (when the new AVM+ was first included with the beta versions of Flex Builder 2). You can read up the details on her blog: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emmy/ Search for Flash Player 9 on it and you can get a distilled list of practically every publicly released update to the player (stuff like when the Linux and Solaris versions came out, when multi-core and full-screen hardware acceleration got baked in, and when H.264 arrived).
