Re: [Flashcoders] Simple compression algo?
Hi Juan - I don't think it's assigning the string that's slow. It's calling sendAndLoad that is slow, because I think when you make the call the data is urlencoded or something. I've already found that, and am not calling it. I was simply outputting the before and after string lengths to see how Base64 and LZW worked. Could be the class I was using, but either way it was way too slow to be useful to me. My simple array compressor is nearly instant and on some images it's getting me an 80%+ reduction in the array size, which is more than enough for my needs. On average it's only around a 20% or so reduction, but that's still good enough as my images are not very big. I think you're idea is great, and for AS3 a definite, but in AS2 I fear it's just going to be too slow. Plus, I've already spent far too long on this little aside and should be moving on, though I do enjoy these kinds of things. If you want to see some of my test results, I posted a little article on my blog: www.dmennenoh.blogspot.com Thanks much!

[Flashcoders] DataGrid: Extra Row
I am populating a datagrid via:
data_array = new Array();
for (j=0; jthis.firstChild.childNodes.length; j++) {
var lessonTitle:String =
this.firstChild.childNodes[j].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var desc:String =
this.firstChild.childNodes[j].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
data_array.push({AvailableLessons:lessonTitle,
Description:desc});
}
dg.dataProvider = data_array;
The loop is looping the correct amount of times but my grid is ending up
with an extra empty row. Any ideas why?

Re: [Flashcoders] Insert new symbol
if you load your image in with a MovieClipLoader (prolly the best way to
go), you can position the image, only with the onLoadInit handler.
Only then will you know the dimensions of the loaded in image. the you
can shift it x of image = width of image * 0.5
something like this (AS2 example):
var containerClip:MovieClip = this.attachMovieClip(emptyClipFromLib,
emptyClipFromLib this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
var imageMcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
imageMcl.addListener(mclListener);
imageMcl.loadClip(images/image1.jpg, containerClip);
trace(the clip width: + containerClip._width);
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(targetClip:MovieClip) {
trace(the clip width: + targetClip._width);
};
Hope this helps,
Sid

[Flashcoders] Odd Blend Mode Problem
I've got an API-drawn rectangle with a hairline stroke, with a blend mode of 3. (Multiply) When the rectangle clip is tweened over a bitmap, occasionally there are 'flickers' of a lighter color right at the edges, where the stroke would be. I've tried no stroke, a 1px stroke...everything I could think of to remove this flicker. Anyone else experience this or have an idea why it's happening?

[Flashcoders] urgent angle problem
hi guys
i have a problem that i need to sort out - i have a script that
checks to see where the mouse pointer is in relation to a point of
origin and then selects which frame from a group of 9 to show
the problem i'm having is that if the angle is above 180 degrees, it
swaps to negative numbers back down to 0 (go to http://www.
19.5degs.com/element/215.php to see an example - in particular watch
the text frame as you move) and i need to figure out how to make it a
full 360
i've tried
if (angle0) {
angle = (-1*angle)+180;
}
but that's not right
here is my code
//image frame selector
function changeFrame(clip:MovieClip, angle:Number):Void {
// frame is receiving a wrong number above 180 degrees here
// there are 9 frames so i want each frame to have 40 degrees (hence
angle/40)
var frame:Number = Math.round(angle/40);
// visibleClip is a variable set on all clips (set in the mousemove
below) to tell my script which clip is visible to make it invisible
without having to loop through the other clips when there's a change
clip[clip.visibleClip]._visible = false;
clip[p+frame]._visible = true;
clip.visibleClip = [p+frame];
}
//mouse follower
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.lookAt = function(clip:MovieClip, originX:Number,
originY:Number, watchX:Number, watchY:Number):Void {
var adjside:Number = watchX - originX;
var oppside:Number = -1*(watchY - originY);
var angle:Number = Math.atan2(oppside, adjside); // in radians
var angle:Number = Math.round(angle/Math.PI*180); // convert to degrees
var angle:Number = -1*(angle); // invert
changeFrame(clip, angle);
}
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function () {
var watchX:Number = _xmouse;
var watchY:Number = _ymouse;
// there are 8 images that are trying to do this
for (var i:Number=1; i9; i++) {
var thisPerson:MovieClip = content_mc[person+i];
this.lookAt(thisPerson, thisPerson._x, thisPerson._y,

Re: [Flashcoders] urgent angle problem
Hi,
You make both values absolute and calculate your angle, then
subtract 90 from the degrees.
You have to detect whether adj is negative and if so, add 180 to
your angle or something similar if I remember...
var adjside:Number = watchX - originX;
var oppside:Number = -1*(watchY - originY);
var angle:Number = Math.atan2(Math.abs(oppside), Math.abs(adjside));
// in radians
var angle:Number = Math.round(angle/Math.PI*180) - 90; // convert to
degrees
if(0 adside) {
angle += 180;
}
var angle:Number = -1*(angle); // invert

This in turn means that the compiler can not complain about you calling a property that might not exist as you might be adding it 'dynamically' before you call it, Greetz Erik On 1/12/08, Mark Winterhalder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Jan 11, 2008 11:34 PM, Mark Lapasa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I too would expect that it would need to be casted. Yes, one would think so. I can't answer your question, either, but can't help but note that in haXe you would declare your array as ArrayMyClass. The compiler wouldn't let you put anything else into it, and likewise, everything you'd pull out would be of type MyClass. haXe has a great type system (including implied types and type templates), so if you're the kind of coder that wonders about issues like that, I recommend you have a llok at http://haxe.org.

Re: [Flashcoders] DataGrid: Extra Row
You say your loop is going the correct amount of times, but have you
checked the array? Try looping over the array and tracing all the
elements (along with the length of the array). Does what you get
match what you expect?

[Flashcoders] Fullscreen keyboard input
Hi! I did this pong game (http://www.pixeltoys.net/2008/01/29/actionscript-3-pong.html) just to try AS3. The game can be controlled using the keyboard or the mouse. then I tried the full-screen feature just to learn that: Users cannot enter text in text input fields while in full-screen mode. All keyboard input and key-related ActionScript is disabled while in full-screen mode, with the exception of the keyboard shortcuts that take the viewer out of full-screen mode. (source http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/full_screen_mode.html) I can still have users play using the mouse, but is there a known workaround for this limitation? thanks!

[Flashcoders] AS3 receiving mouse event on overlap sibling sprite
Hi,
Trying to have two sibling sprite that overlap receive mouse
event in the section that overlap. Is that possible?
code:
package
{
import flash.display.*
import flash.events.*;
public class MouseEventTwoMC extends MovieClip
{
public function MouseEventTwoMC ()
{
var sp1:Sprite = createCircle(100, 100);
var sp2:Sprite = createCircle(150, 100);
addChild(sp1);
addChild(sp2);
}
public function createCircle (_nX:Number,
_nY:Number):Sprite
{
var spriteCircle:Sprite = new Sprite();
spriteCircle.addEventListener
(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onROver);
spriteCircle.addEventListener
(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onROut);
spriteCircle.x = _nX;
spriteCircle.y = _nY;
spriteCircle.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x22, 1);
spriteCircle.graphics.beginFill(0x3CC4C4, 1);
spriteCircle.graphics.drawCircle(0,0, 75);
spriteCircle.graphics.endFill();
spriteCircle.alpha = 0.3;
return spriteCircle;
}
public function onROver (_event:MouseEvent):void
{
_event.target.alpha = 0.1;
}
public function onROut (_event:MouseEvent):void

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple compression algo?
I don't think it's assigning the string that's slow. It's calling
sendAndLoad that is slow, because I think when you make the call the data is
urlencoded or something
Yes, you're probably right. I thought maybe the string was encoded as soon
as it assigned, but it makes more sense that the encoding is done when the
data is actually sent.
If you're code already works, great, go with it. I was just suggesting
another approach, but I understand what you mean. You've invested
a considerable time on it and already works pretty good for your actual
needs, so it makes no sense to try another method that could be worse
performance-wise.
I've taken a glimpse at your code, by the way. I like that it's simple and
neat, but I was thinking that maybe you could avoid the first loop, by just
adding an else to the main if in the second loop. Not sure if it'll make a
noticeable difference in performance, since assigning an empty string to an
array element is fast, but you'll be saving almost 100.000 iterations (on a
320 x 300 image).
Something like this:
comp[0] = orig[0];
var lastEqualIndex = 0;
for(var i = 1; i l; i++){
if(orig[i] != comp[lastEqualIndex]){
//new color
comp[i] = orig[i];
lastEqualIndex = i;
} else {
comp[i] = ;
}
}
return comp;
}
All in all, it's a good and simple solution!
Cheers

Hi Juan - I don't think it's assigning the string that's slow. It's
calling
sendAndLoad that is slow, because I think when you make the call the data
is
urlencoded or something. I've already found that, and am not calling it. I
was simply outputting the before and after string lengths to see how
Base64
and LZW worked. Could be the class I was using, but either way it was way
too slow to be useful to me. My simple array compressor is nearly instant
and on some images it's getting me an 80%+ reduction in the array size,
which is more than enough for my needs. On average it's only around a 20%
or
so reduction, but that's still good enough as my images are not very big.
I think you're idea is great, and for AS3 a definite, but in AS2 I fear
it's
just going to be too slow. Plus, I've already spent far too long on this
little aside and should be moving on, though I do enjoy these kinds of
things. If you want to see some of my test results, I posted a little
article on my blog: www.dmennenoh.blogspot.com
Thanks much!

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Odd Blend Mode Problem
There's a series of different problems that could be causing this. It depends on a lot of parameters and vary from player to player, from system to system. Basically you have to force the entire region to be drawn so those areas won't be erased. Having a transparent box (100% transparency is ok) on top of the offending area can help, as well as having an empty filter (like a blur of 0) added to the object or the parent object. There's no magic solution, you just got to try different things to force rendering to take place on those areas. Zeh I've got an API-drawn rectangle with a hairline stroke, with a blend mode of 3. (Multiply) When the rectangle clip is tweened over a bitmap, occasionally there are 'flickers' of a lighter color right at the edges, where the stroke would be.
