Re: [Flashcoders] Question about the AIR security model...
Hi John,
Where are you loading the SWF from?
I think I had this problem early on with AIR, and it turned out I
was loading from the wrong place. If you load the .swf files from
within the AIR app's installed folder, then they are given full rights
and you will be able to cast them etc. If you load them from anywhere
else, they are placed into a different security sandbox and you won't
be able to cast them.

Re: [Flashcoders] Question about the AIR security model...
Yes. I have understood this when doing some research on the subject. My
problem though is that I don't want theswfs to be installed together with
the app (a few thousand swfs altogether). I want my AIR App to load a dir
full of them
and walk through them all and check if they implement a certain interface.
I've done all these things, my only problem now
is that I cannot cast them in AIR at all which makes the whole thing
pointless.
You see my problem here right? I need it to load arbitrary swfs from a
harddrive or network share (i.e locally through the filesystem)
and try to cast them to an interface - throw up a warning or generate a list
of swfs that do not conform to the interface and need to
be fixed.
I guess this cannot be easily done, or perhaps not at all... Could it be
possible through a sandbox bridge or something like that?

Re: [Flashcoders] Question about the AIR security model...
I was wondering about some sort of bridge - how about a 'loader' swf
which you load from outside the AIR security sandbox. Talk to it via
LocalConnections - get it to load in swfs for test and report back via
LocalConnection.
That'd work, but is an ugly hack.
However - as far as I can see, you aren't actually writing to disk,
are you? So why do you need AIR? Wouldn't an ordinary Flash projector
do the job without any of these issues?
HTH,

Re: [Flashcoders] Language translation from English to german/russian etc
I wasn't saying the grammar was incorrect (it is correct), but the subject is dodgy.

Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ Kerry Thompson wrote: Kenneth Kawamoto wrote: I don't know where you got it from, but perhaps it's good that you got dodgy translation because your Japanese text itself is well dodgy (not in grammatical sense). I figured there would be a Japanese speaker who would catch that ^_^ I copied and pasted it from a Japanese Web site. It's a little pop-culture poem, kind of impressionistic, and poems don't play by the grammar rules. Perhaps I chose an extreme case to make my point--poems seldom translate well--but the English gibberish it output certainly shows the limits of machine translation. Even though I chose a pop poem, it's from a Japanese Web site, based in Japan, and run by a Japanese company in Japan.

RE: [Flashcoders] Question about the AIR security model...
Apparently, if you load the .swf as a byteArray then you can then use a
loader to load that as a swf, in the context of your application.
Normally that would be considered a potentially bad thing, but in your
case it looks like it could be exactly what you want to do.

Re: [Flashcoders] Removing a displayObject by using removeChild()
Nice one :)
What you do with removeChildAt is that you remove a child at a
specific index (number), you get this index by using the getChildIndex
( stringname of displayobject)

Re: [Flashcoders] Question about the AIR security model...
Hi Peter, It's the first time I've come across sandbox bridging. It's a nifty idea. The Flash documentation for it is here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/display/LoaderInfo.html#childSandboxBridge But... unfortunately I think it's backwards for John's problem. It allows a parent SWF to expose properties to a child SWF, rather than the other way around...

Re: [Flashcoders] Language translation from English to german/russian etc
One time I tried using the Strings Panel for a project and it was one of the worst experiences I had with Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] Question about the AIR security model...
I was just doing something similar, using just PHP and jQuery.
I scan a folder with swf's, print an array in JavaScript, from
JavaScript I iterate through the array calling a function inside
validator.swf, which loads an swf it receives as a parameter.
Then validator.swf checks the instance names of objects in its
stage, looks for classes with that name, and sends the result
back to JavaScript, inserting the result into the HTML
using jQuery... oops I didn't think it was twisted when I did it =)
It could be extended to test if the exported classes implement
some methods, or something in that direction.
I mention this because with both Air and PHP you have methods
to scan folders in the disk, get file sizes, timestamps, etc.

I've done all these things, my only problem now

You see my problem here right? I need it to load arbitrary swfs from a
harddrive or network share (i.e locally through the filesystem)
and try to cast them to an interface - throw up a warning or generate a list
of swfs that do not conform to the interface and need to
be fixed.
I guess this cannot be easily done, or perhaps not at all... Could it be
possible through a sandbox bridge or something like that?

Hi John,
Where are you loading the SWF from?
I think I had this problem early on with AIR, and it turned out I
was loading from the wrong place. If you load the .swf files from
within the AIR app's installed folder, then they are given full rights
and you will be able to cast them etc. If you load them from anywhere
else, they are placed into a different security sandbox and you won't
be able to cast them.

Recently we decided that we need control over these loaded animated

they need

application when needed.
The animations can be both timeline based and script based. As long as
they
adhere to the interface
(basically play() stop() reset() and the running getter should return
true if playing or false if stopped) we should be just fine.
The problem is that we need people who don't really know any scripting
(designers) to be able to publish these
files properly. And I guess a template goes a long way but still...
So I thought: Hey there's AIR which have local filesystem access among
other things. I could build an AIR App which
loads a swf or even a whole dir of swfs and then casts the loaded swfs
to
IAnimatedItem and throws an error if it cant.
It could also include play stop reset buttons to test every loaded swf
manually to be sure it works. Nice indeed and simple
enough for most people to use...
The problem is though that I can't cast loaded swfs in AIR it seems,
though
I can from a simple swf loading one of these items
(but then I lose filesystem dialogs etc which is why I thought of AIR
in
the first place).
In AIR
var aim:IAnimatedItem = loader.content as IAnimatedItem; (or
loader.contentLoaderInfo.content as IAnimatedItem doesn't matter).
aim becomes null.
In simple Flash swf:
aim becomes IAnimatedItem.
if I do this in AIR:
var aim:IAnimatedItem = loader.content as IAnimatedItem;

I think you could, over a given interval, step through each letter in the string, and change the TextFormat. So you could set up a timer or a Tweener.addCaller that calls a function updateListener(). updateListener() could then increment a counter one letter each time it's called, and it would set the TextFormat of the field from 0 to the counter... repeat until you reach the end. -jonathan On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 1:49 PM, Pedro Kostelec [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi How can i animate a change of font like in this page: http://www.emmawatsonofficial.com/#harry? -- Pedro D.K. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders -- -jonathan howe :: 404.434.2321 :: 180 High St Apt 26 Portland, ME 04101 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Math question
Hello, Which results do you want to have = 25-50-75 or 25 - 50 - 50 ? In the first case : f(x) = (x/10)+25; In the second cas : f(x) = (x/10)+25 if x 250 else 50 Regards, Cedric On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 10:41 PM, Dwayne Neckles [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How to go from one number to another.. function(x) = y so that x is 0 - 250 - 500 and y is 25 - 50- 75 func(0) = 25 func(250)=50 func(500)=50 How would one find the equation for that...Thats satisfies that..?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash + Air
Helmut, are you talking about an AIR application made from HTML/javascript? I for one often forget that's even an option.

John,
Your latest response (to include the if loop) should get me to
where I am
going.
That was great. A good lesson in stepping back and looking at
problem in a
fresh way.
Thanks,
Terry

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] byteArray x/y
Terry,
// in randomize( ) in TileMap.as we have
// a value sometimes more than 12...
setTile(j, i, (i * numCols) + j);
// here ^
// But the original has a value never more than 12
setTile(j, i, Math.floor(Math.random()*numTiles));
// here
^^^
// and this value is passed in as id and stored in map[ ][ ] inside
function
// setTile(row,col,id ) at Line 32 in TileMap.as
map[row][col] = id;
// and this is used later to identify the tile to use (1 of 12)
in the tiles
array
// made up of 12 rectangular patches from the original bitmap
// Line 28 in TileMap.as
public function getTile (id:int):ByteArray {
return
tiles[id];// returns null if id12
}
// BUT, because id12 does not exist then thisTile receives null
// in TileMapRenderer line 135
thisTile = tiles.getTile(map.getTile(j, i));
thisTile.position
and that causes the breakdown you see
Glen is right to point you to this code, it's really useful. The
main idea
is shown below.
It uses getPixels to pick out a rectangle of bytes that get
stored in the
newTileSet array for using later.
// Line 73 in TileSet.as...
public function convertBitmapToTiles (size:int,
data:BitmapData):Array {
var newTileSet:Array = new Array();
var numTilesH:int = data.width/size;
var numTilesV:int = data.height/size;
for (var i:int = 0; i
numTilesV; i++) {
for (var j:int = 0; j
numTilesH; j++) {
newTileSet.push(data.getPixels(new Rectangle(j*size, i*size,
size, size)));
}
}
return newTileSet;
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash + Air
Helmut, If I understand it correctly, it depends on usage or type of application that you want to port to AIR. Either you can use it's native local database (if it only deals with local database) or you can use any remoting framework / solution which can communicate server side code. It also depends on what exactly data transactions the application does.
