RE: [Flashcoders] custom map image geocoding service?
Hehe Google Mercator projection and start doing math . I started working on maps too and as I can see my employer uses Mercator projection algorithm to calculate x,y.

[Flashcoders] Image Hyperlinks in TextFields
This is supposed to be relatively simple, but I'm facing a rather odd problem. I've got almost everything working but the link only works if you right click the image and click Open or Open in new window. Just clicking the link, seems to do nothing at all. The text field has mouseEnabled on and the cursor is changing when I roll over, but clicks do nothing! What is going on??

Re: [Flashcoders] custom map image geocoding service?
That is, only if his base map actually is in Mercator projection (which I doubt). Rich, first you have to find out the actual projection of your base map. Only after that you can do the math.

[Flashcoders] Is there any way to get a list of the classes compiled into a SWF?
I'm trying to nail down where a reference to an unwanted class is coming from, and I need to be able to work out which classes are being compiled from my classpath. The reason is because I'm trying to take small element out of a larger project and put it into its own SWF. I've done this by extending the classes that are involved to override anything which has references to parts of the app which won't be in the smaller SWF, but one of them is still being included from somewhere, and I can't work out where.

Re: [Flashcoders] Is there any way to get a list of the classes compiled into a SWF?
In AS3, the flex compiler can tell you which classes were used - look at the command-line option --link-report As JC says, you can use MTASC for AS2. If you happen to have FlashDevelop installed, you can just find the .swf file in the project file view and expand it as a tree node; all the symbols and classes contained in it will be listed. FlashDevelop is great. :-) Cheers, Ian On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 10:53 AM, Hans Wichman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, as2 or as3?

External pages now have a window attribute which enables you to target which window you want to open your link in right in the site.xml.

Re: [Flashcoders] Exclude classes
If you aren't using a class, and don't reference it anywhere in your code, it won't be compiled in. Most 'built-in' classes (i.e. classes beginning with flash.*) are actually implemented within the Flash Player itself, so won't be compiled into your .swf anyway. I'd imagine that's true of BlurFilter. See a previous thread today about how to see exactly what is being compiled into your .swf file.

[Flashcoders] Tweening a Donut Shape / Ripples / Concentric Circles
Hi Flashcoders, I have coded a donut shape by drawing two concentric circles (one appears to punch out the other) then tweening (using Tweener) the width and height of both circles for the same amout of time and by their widths + the same increase. This gives the effect of a circle getting larger but the distance between the inner radius and outer radius remaining the same (which is very important to the effect I'm after. Stagger a load of these going off and you have a nice two tone ripple effect, however you can't overlay this over an image or attach an alpha effect as actually it is a load of solid circles, not an actual donut shape with a hole in the middle. I am aware you can create a donut shape by drawing both circles in the same fill (really punching the hole in the middle), but when this is scaled the width between the inner and outer radius scales as well. The only way I can think to solve this is to redraw the donut each time using an EnterFrame event, but this seems wrong and I would prefer to be using Tweener for nice/easy easing and the like. All ideas gratefully received. Regards, Michael ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Tweening a Donut Shape / Ripples / Concentric Circles
If you can use the new line drawing features, and if your container is not resized in any other way, you could create a simple circle with no fill but with a given stroke set to scale on no dimension. That way, scaling the circle container would increase the overall circle size, but the stroke would remain at the same weight. If this is not practical, you can create one additional function that redraws the circle every time like you mentioned. This doesn't need to be done onEnterFrame - it's actually better to either create a getter/setter inside your movieclip (a function that redraws your object based on the scale or some other property) or a function that gets called by the tween every time some variable (like scale or some other property) is changed, by using Tweener's onUpdate parameter.

[Flashcoders] CS3 Restyling slider drag handles
I'm prepared for a Doh moment.. I've reassigned the style for an AS3 Slider drag thumb programatically. No problem - except that it's a bit squashed. Why is it squashing my replacement MovieClip? As an experiment, my perfect square is now an oblong. :-( Paul ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] custom map image geocoding service?
Wow, I didn't think it would be that difficult. I could have sworn there were some upload your image, we'll hook it up services out there.

Rich, first you have to find out the actual projection of your base map. Only after that you can do the math.

I'm building a flash app which requires some mapping functionality. It's relatively simple, so I'm not sure that it needs all the bells and whistles that come with using google's or yahoo's map services. Basically we have a static U.S./Canada map image (no pan or zoom) that has some interactive markers overlaid on it...pretty much a heatmap I guess. We're already set up with receiving the latitude and longitude coordinates, now i just need to translate that into x,y positions on the map. I know there are services out there that handle this, but I've been searching for a while and most of the results reference back to google or yahoo maps, so I'm thinking I'm not suing the right search terms. Does anyone know where I can get this done...or any other tips/advice that might help?

Re: [Flashcoders] Exclude classes
In AS3, there is no exclude.xml. Whether this was an oversight or, for
some reason, not possible, you cannot do this in AS3. You can, however,
use the Bridge pattern.
http://www.stevensacks.net/2008/01/23/update-gaia-bridge-pattern-api/
In a nutshell, you:
1. Make an Interface for the class you want to share between swfs (the
implementation), but only want to be compiled in one.
2. Make a class to Bridge the gap that contains a static getter that
returns the Interface, but really returns the Implementation. You could
also just make it a public static var if you really want. I used an
internal namespace because I don't want developers overwriting the
implementation.
3. Set the Implementation in your primary swf to make it available to
all the other swfs.
4. Import the Bridge class in your other swfs and now you can access the
implementation.
Here is a trivial example that would work.
package
{
import IClass;
public class Bridge
{
public static var api:IClass;
}
}
///
import Bridge;
Bridge.api.yourMethod();
///
AFAIK, this is easiest way to overcome the lack of exclude.xml in AS3.
There are other ways, but they are complicated and difficult.
HTH,
Steven

[Flashcoders] Paste rich text possible in Flash?
Just say you have text in Microsoft Word which is formatted bold and a certain colour. Is it possible to copy that text into a Flash (MX2004 or 8) input field and retain (or at least discover and recreate) that formatting? My gut feeling is no, as I haven't yet come across examples of this on the web. Even copying bold text in an HTML-enabled input textfield and pasting it into the same textfield doesn't carry across the formatting. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this, even (or I should say, especially) a No, this can't be done. Thanks! ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

RE: [Flashcoders] Paste rich text possible in Flash?
Just say you have text in Microsoft Word which is formatted bold and a certain colour. Is it possible to copy that text into a Flash (MX2004 or 8) input field and retain (or at least discover and recreate) that formatting? Have you tried saving the file as HTML? Flash does have support for HTML text--limited, admittedly--but I don't know about RTF. I think Word has an option to reveal codes, which should show the HTML tags. I don't know this for sure--it's a guess, but it's worth a try. RTF codes aren't that tough to figure out--I had to do it for a Director project where I had to format print output with RTF, and if I can do it without documentation, anybody can. It's cryptic, though, and much more sensitive to minor deviations than HTML.

Just noticed you said MX2004 or 8. This help is for AS3. Sorry about that.

Re: [Flashcoders] Image Hyperlinks in TextFields
It's AS3, and I can catch the TextEvent.LINK when it fires, but it doesn't fire. The first time I click the image, the text gets selected to the line, and only if I move and click again is the event dispatched. It seems to make no sense. If I set selectable to false, then it doesn't work on the click at all. Both these times though, if I right click the image and click Open, it works fine. So the link is registering but the click isn't. 2008/6/17 Gerry [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is this AS2 or AS3? Have you looked up asfunction if it's AS2?
