Re: [Flashcoders] centering content on stage / resizable stage

2008-05-14 Thread EECOLOR
Make sure you have in your code (somewhere at the start) the following code:

*stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;*

Also make sure that you have the following property in your object / embed
tag:

salign=TL

 Hello again!

 Im quite desparate after trying to find a simply and yet efficient way to
 get my content always in the middle of that stage,
 i wrote simple script, that seems to be working when i launch the stand
 alone player, however when i launch it with the html
 wrapper and in browser, the positions are different (?!?) and i cant
 figure out why, this is probably very stupid, but before
 i just wanted to know how you ppl solve the centering / positioning
 problems in flash/stage

 my awesome script:

 private function positionContainer() : void {
_lastBgX = _bg.x;
_lastBgY = _bg.y;
var halfW : Number = this.width / 2;
var halfH : Number = this.height / 2;
_bg.x = 0;
_bg.y = 0;
_bg.width = stage.stageWidth;
_bg.height = stage.stageHeight;
_holder.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2) - (_holder.width / 2);
_holder.y = (stage.stageHeight / 2) - (_holder.height / 2);
 }

 _bg is scale, as it's a simple sprite filled with bitmapdata, just for
 testing, and it does what it's suppose to do,
 _holder is my content holder wher i put all my instances, movieclips and
 so on something i dont get is,
 if i have a class that generates something bigger then that _holder
 [width/height] the things starts too look strange

 I think i dont really get how that html wrapper works and what are the
 best settings for an fullscreen flash in html
 should i pass settings to the stage class? if yes then which makes sense?
 How do you ppl solve that issue?

 Thanks for your Help!

Re: [Flashcoders] Aligning images and text in textfield / textarea

2008-05-14 Thread EECOLOR
I remember the component named Deng, which is able to render a subset of
HTML. It can be found here:

http://deng.com.br/

HTML within Flash is one of the toughest things to do as the support for
HTML within Flash is very limited.

 I'm using textareas and textfields to display HTML with text, images and
 CSS and running into problems trying to stop text wrapping around the side
 of images (AS2, Flash8).

 Even if the image is as wide as the textarea, any text following the image
 will appear letter by letter vertically down the side of the image until it
 gets to a clear line under the image whereupon it begins to display
 correctly again.

 I've cludged it to stop happening by adding multiple pbr //p after
 each image depending on the height of each image (lineheight of the text I'm
 using is 18 pixels, so divide the image height by 18 and add that many
 paragraph/break tag combinations as above).

 It's a rather messy cludge and requires a stack of extra PHP on the server
 side to parse the HTML and add the extra tags after each image - has anyone
 seen or know about a better way to do this - I'm imagining some one may have
 been able to extend the textarea or textfield class or possibly created a
 more reliable component to display HTML text and images (with vertical
 scrollbar if needed)

 many thanks
 Neil

RE: [Flashcoders] as3 namespace question

2008-05-14 Thread Dave Segal
Thanks for the response Erik.

Yes, I am aware that compiling the entire base class of another swf is
problematic. I was just trying to simplify things for the example. If the
idea works I will to use an interface as a public api to the loaded swf.

Anyway, I am very interested in seeing your example files, whether in Flex
or Flash. However, I don't seem to receive attachments sent through this
list. Can you send me the attachment off list? 

Thanks
Dave

 I posted about this before and didn't receive and answer but it is

 There were some concrete answers posted to your question. Anyway, 
 let's see if we can solve it again.

 Before I will try and help with your problem, I want to point out 
 something about your code. I am not sure if you are using (in your 
 real
 application) an interface which you will cast your class to:

 *var _lm:ILoadMe = ILoadMe(_ldr.content);*

 If you are using the actual class, the problem is that the whole class 
 and it's dependencies are compiled into you main swf, defeating a big 
 part of the purpose of loading the swf into it.

 In my previous reply to your earlier email I posted a Flex version of 
 the answer. This time I created a Flash example. It is added as
attachment.

 The attached zip file contains 2 directories. Make sure you have your 
 webserver point to to these directories, the virtual hosts in apache:

 *VirtualHost *:80
   ServerName domain1
   DocumentRoot E:\Projects\domain1
 /VirtualHost

 VirtualHost *:80
   ServerName domain2
   DocumentRoot E:\Projects\domain2
 /VirtualHost*

 In the hosts file (if you are on windows) you need these 2 entries:

 *127.0.0.1 domain1
 127.0.0.1 domain2*

 In order to test the example, call this url: 
 *http://domain1/domain1.html*

 You should see this appear on your screen:

 *domain1.swf
 domain2.swf loaded
 Domain2Base*

 I hope this will solve your problem.

[Flashcoders] AMFPHP classes AS3

2008-05-14 Thread Vayu Robins
Hi.

I was wondering if anyone here has som advice on running flash content from
a database with the help of AMFPHP 1.9?  Maybe someone has a brilliant class
for this or good tutorial.

I have searched the net, but am not finding much out there.

I need to make several queries, for instance for menu, content and news
ticker.

Thanks
Vayu

[Flashcoders] Multiple query strings in a single URL

2008-05-14 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr
Howdy all,

I currently have a app that pulls a single variable from the URL

I.e. =  index.html?page=2

I pass that info into my program with FlashVars using:

--
script src=Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
type=text/javascript/script
script type=text/javascript
function querySt(ji) {
hu = window.location.search.substring(1);
gy = hu.split();
for (i=0;igy.length;i++) {
ft = gy[i].split(=);
if (ft[0] == ji) {
return ft[1];
}
}
}
/script


snippet from the Flash swf embed

FlashVars, 'whichSection=' + querySt('page'));

end snippet
---

So querySt parses the value of 2 and passes it into my whichsection just
fine.

Now I have to have two things passed in:

I.e. Index.html?page=2login=1

Can FlashVars handle this??

I tried:

FlashVars, 'whichSection=' + querySt('page'),'loggedin=' +
querySt('login')); 


But loggedin is NOT getting picked up inside of Flash.

Can Flash handle multiple query strings being passed into itself?

Did I explain this well enough?


Thanks in advance,
John
