[Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array
Hi Guys
Im in need of finding out how or even if its possible to convert an object to
an array?
Basically I am trying to output some vars from flash to an PHP script, yet when
PHP recieves the $_POST['textVars'] as [object Object] which is a string and
not an array so I can't access it with $_POST['textVars'][0]['x'], which should
output the value of textBox1.x.
var textVars:Object = new Object;
textVars[0] = {
x :textBox1.x,
y :textBox1.y,
width :textBox1.width,
height :textBox1.height,
rotation :textBox1.rotation
};
textVars[1] = {
x :textBox2.x,
y :textBox2.y,
width :textBox2.width,
height :textBox2.height,
rotation :textBox2.rotation
};
sendVars.textVars = textVars;
sendRequest.data = setVars;
sendRequest.url = process.php;
sendRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
sendToURL(sendRequest);
Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array
Hi,
You could create a loop to look through each object and then make up
your arrays a bit like this - untested:
sendVars.textVars = new Array();
var numVars:int = textVars.length;
for(var i:int = 0;i numVars;i++) {
var obj:Object = textVars[i];
for(item:String in obj) {
trace(itm + = + obj[itm]);
sendVars.textVars[i][itm] = obj[itm];
}
}
//then send your data...
SWXFormat handles this sort of thing quite nicely, but they were
still working on AS3 when I last looked.

Re: [Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array
Hey Glen thanks for your speedy response its much appriciated! Ive tried the
code you provided but am still getting the same output.
var textVars = new Array();
textVars[0] = {
a :0,
b :1,
c :2
};
textVars[1] = {
d :3,
e :4,
f :5
};
var numVars:int = textVars.length;
for(var i:int = 0;i numVars;i++)
{
var obj:Object = textVars[i];
for (var itm:String in obj)
{
trace(itm + = + obj[itm]);
textVars[i][itm] = obj[itm];
}
}
var sendRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(process.php);
var setVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
setVars.textVars = textVars;
sendRequest.data = setVars;
sendRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
sendToURL(sendRequest);
Basically we are trying to output a $_POST array that is formated similar to
below...
Array
(
[textVars] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[a] = 0
[b] = 1
[c] = 2
)
[1] = Array
(
[d] = 3
[e] = 4
[f] = 5
)
)
)
instead we are getting:
Array
(
[textVars] = [object Object]
)
Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array
Hi,
This may be a formatting thing with how you post arrays and my
answer may need revising:
Look in the PHP manual for Variables from outside PHP and see that
you can post arrays from HTML forms, by having the fields named as an
array..
so my original code below is a bit wrong, sorry.
The loop will have to build the pseudo array for each text var
object so you can post textVars[0][a]=0textVars[0][b]=1, etc.:
setVars = new Object();
textVars[0] = {
a :0,
b :1,
c :2
};
textVars[1] = {
d :3,
e :4,
f :5
};
var numVars:int = textVars.length;
for(var i:int = 0;i numVars;i++)
{
var obj:Object = textVars[i];
for (var itm:String in obj)
{
trace(itm + = + obj[itm]);
//check the quotes and braces carefully, but basically you want to end up
with setVars.textVars[0][a] = 0, etc
setVars[textVars[ + i + ][ + itm + ]] = obj[itm];
}
}
I think that may fix it...
You probably also want to make sure your PHP script is behaving by temporarily changing
$_POST to $_REQUEST then writing a manual query string as above...

Re: [Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array
You can also use JSON, a format close to javascript syntax, used for
serializing / deserializing objects. It's rather standard and you can find
libraries for parsing it in most mainstream languages (including, of course,
AS 2.0 AS 3.0, and PHP)

Re: [Flashcoders] Reading SWF headers with ASP
thanks for your insight Juan. On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 8:34 PM, Juan Pablo Califano [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In native classic ASP (without any extra components installed in the server), I'd say it's almost impossible. Maybe if the swf is uncompressed, you can give it a shot, reading the file with a FileSystemObject -which is meant to read text files- and using some single-byte string encoding and reading the chars values with de asc() function. Ugly, but it should be possible (it's not a peace of cake, though, considering the fact that VBS doesn't even have a syntax for bit shifting, so you'd have to craft some functions for that). But the biggest problem is, most swf's are compressed since version 6, and except the first 8 bytes (signature + version + file_size), the rest of the header itself is deflated (as well as the rest of the file). As far as I know, classic ASP doesn't support deflating natively, so that would be a major problem -- and I'm not sure if there's some work around to that limitations.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loosing full-screen when loosing focus
Thanks for the tip Rich. I had a look at the mProjector. This third-party projector will probably solve several questions in the project we're doing. Only hope the project manager will allow for third-party pluggs. We are developing a desktop app. Not a browser based, so it would certainly be a valid option. Have to check with people from mProjector in detail (not found in docu/examples) Would this not be something the flashplayer should support by itself, a fixed (regardless of having the focus or not) fullscreen mode? Thanks again for the tip! Bart Rich Shupe schreef: I don't think it's possible to prevent this in the browser.

RE: [Flashcoders] CS3 Datagrid p
There has to be some way to target the textfield inside the list component. I
can't find anything on html links using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 3, which
seems pretty remarkable to me. I'm surprised Adobe didn't code the datagrid to
recognize when an html link is being clicked in the grid.
The code below tells me where I am in the grid, but how to target the textfield
in this cell?
dg.addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_ROLL_OVER, TestMe);
function TestMe(event:ListEvent):void {
txtVars.text = column: + event.columnIndex + \n + row :+
event.rowIndex;
// Target the textfield here somehow?
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] CS3 Datagrid p
We have been using the Advanced Datagrid located here:
http://demo.tufat.com/datagrid/flash6/index.html
I am currently trying to get the CS3 Datagrid component to function the same
way, but I am having difficulty figuring out how to resize rows based on the
amount of content and getting html links to work.
Has anyone done anything like this with actionscript 3?

Re: [Flashcoders] Reading SWF headers with ASP
You're welcome, Helmut. I forgot to mention it, but If you can run ASP.NET, parsing the swf header shouldn't be too difficult. (I already have written some C# code to do that for an open source project and I bet you can find other .NET OS projects that deal with that same task). But the again, you need ASP.NET installed on the server (maybe you already have it if you're deploying to a Windows Server...). Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2008/4/29, Helmut Granda [EMAIL PROTECTED]: thanks for your insight Juan. On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 8:34 PM, Juan Pablo Califano [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In native classic ASP (without any extra components installed in the server), I'd say it's almost impossible. Maybe if the swf is uncompressed, you can give it a shot, reading the file with a FileSystemObject -which is meant to read text files- and using some single-byte string encoding and reading the chars values with de asc() function. Ugly, but it should be possible (it's not a peace of cake, though, considering the fact that VBS doesn't even have a syntax for bit shifting, so you'd have to craft some functions for that). But the biggest problem is, most swf's are compressed since version 6, and except the first 8 bytes (signature + version + file_size), the rest of the header itself is deflated (as well as the rest of the file). As far as I know, classic ASP doesn't support deflating natively, so that would be a major problem -- and I'm not sure if there's some work around to that limitations.

Yes, the Flash projector will stay in fullscreen mode when changing focus--at least when Command-Tabbing on the Mac. I assume it will behave similarly on Windows.

Re: [Flashcoders] XPath
In XPath 1.0, an attribute is an axis, not a node, and so cannot be used as a context node. (ie the self axis that you are attempting to access with . does not exist).

I wonder if the test site that you mention is completely compliant. For example certain XPath 2.0 features such as a/(b | c) work in there, but are not valid in XPath 1.0, so it's possible that they support more than is required.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loosing full-screen when loosing focus
If you are only READING files, you have a bit more options. If you are writing files, or dealing with the OS extensively in traditional application ways, you pretty much have to go with a projector enhancer. You can't really use the browser, and you can't use AIR. Some may say that their are other options by extending those environments (server-based saving--to server or locally, Java applets that add functionality to the browser, etc., but I don't consider them realities for the average user. mProjector is AS3-stable on the Mac, but not yet released on Windows, so that probably isn't a reality for an AS3 project. I've heard good and terrible things about Zinc, so I can't offer any opinions there. I'm sure others have used it and may be able to help. Finally, I've never had the slightest interest in any product that isn't cross-platform, so I can't speak to any of the Windows-only, or Mac-only (if there are any) options.

I don't speak for the OT here, just a comment to your earlier comment that AS3 made XPath obsolete. This is not really true. It is true that with E4X you have almost the same functionality as XPath, but E4X fails badly if your query comes from an external source, like if your application needs to deal with arbitrary XML and the queries are dynamic in nature (for example provided by a user, etc). OK, so I'll concede AS3 only 98% makes it obsolete. :) Jason Merrill Bank of America Global Technology Operations LLD eTools Multimedia Join the Bank of America Flash Platform Developer Community Are you a Bank of America associate interested in innovative learning ideas and technologies?

RE: [Flashcoders] XPath
Although i think obsolete is a somewhat binary term, like pregnant, no? I don't think so. Is Windows 98 obsolete? Yes. Is it still used in places around the world, and therefore has uses? Yes. But we're just arguing symantics now, who really cares. The main point is, for most people, AS3 should handle what they want to so with XML. For a few, Xpath may still have some apparent uses.

[Flashcoders] random char
hey guys I'm looking for a little help with doing something similar to this: http://www.zeuslabs.us/2008/01/17/source-code-for-custom-textfields-with-cool-effects/... but in AS2. Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks! -- Corban Baxter http://www.projectx4.com ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

you can download the code, why dont you port it to AS2? -- Pedro Taranto On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 5:53 PM, Corban Baxter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hey guys I'm looking for a little help with doing something similar to this: http://www.zeuslabs.us/2008/01/17/source-code-for-custom-textfields-with-cool-effects/. .. but in AS2.

Re: [Flashcoders] XPath
Hi, The choice not to use AS3 is because I am re-using a lot of code from a very similar previous project. Both projects were/are for a not-for-profit organisation, so the budget is small and we are trying to concentrate on the content rather than rewriting lots of code for AS3.
