RE: [Flashcoders] A Question that I've been asking for years!!
An interface is used to control that the classes who extends the interface mandatory have at least the same methods and properties. So when you work in a team of programmers/developers everyone using/extending this class MUST confirm all these methods and properties.

cause the problems you described. I'd love to see your code, though. The
reason for the delayedCall() in TweenMax is just convenience. Timing is
synchronized with tweens and you can pause/resume all the delayed calls
(and/or tweens) at once.
Feel free to send me your code - I'm sure we can figure out what the issue

sweet
i actually found a workaround for my issue - i used the
TweenMax.delayedCall to run my functions instead of running delay:
and delayIncrement: and that seemed to fix the problem i had.
On a side note - i was using a setInterval to add pauses in between
firing the different tweens i was doing (as part of a larger
animation manager package) and it seemed to have problems doing both
the tweens and the interval - the numbers i was passing to the
interval were behaving very strangely - they were behaving like
seconds rather than milliseconds and the whole interval would fall
over after a couple of calls (hence me digging into the tweenmax api
for the delay and delayedCall options). So it would seem that
TweenMax doesn't play nice with setInterval. Is this a recognised
issue (and the reason for a delayedCall method)?

Sure, you can use delay and delayIncrement together in a
TweenMax.allTo()
call. They work great together.
Also, I should mention that I'm releasing a pretty significant
upgrade to
the TweenLite/TweenFilterLite/TweenMax family soon. Probably the
biggest
enhancement has to do with a new OverwriteManager class that gives
you lots
of control of how (and if) tweens handle overlaps/conflicts,
including an
AUTO mode that only overwrites individual overlapping properties
instead
of the entire tweens. There are actually 4 modes from which to
choose (NONE,
ALL, AUTO, and CONCURRENT). This means you'll probably never have
to type
overwrite:false again. Keep an eye on http://blog.greensock.com
for the
announcement.
If anyone would like me to e-mail them when the update is ready,
just let me
know by sending me an e-mail with TweenMax update in the subject.

can anyone tell me if i use delay and delayIncrement in the same

will delayIncrement:0.05 and delay:_delay overwrite each other?
TweenMax.allTo(aTilesToMove, .2, {_y:nMoveAmount, ease:Quad.easeIn,

[Flashcoders] OT: List of all uk towns and cities with their longitude and latitudes
I am creating a UK based estate agent site and would like to implement a proximity search function. i.e the user would type in the area that they are looking for a house as well as a search radius and the site would display a list of all matching houses for sale in this area. I am assuming I will need a list of every town, village and city in the UK with their associated longitude and latitude however I am really struggling to find one. Can anyone suggest where I can find such a list. I don't mind paying for one assuming I don't have to sell my house to do so. If I can get this list, then my theory is to use pythagoras theorem to work out which properties are within the specified radius. Not sure how practical this will be. So if anyone has created similar functionality I would really appreciate some tips.

Re: [Flashcoders] A Question that I've been asking for years!!
Hi,
interfaces are pretty simple in reality and they are everywhere.
Imagine every wall outlet looked different, and not only different, but that
in order to use them, you had to remove the outlet first, take a look at the
wiring and then bolt it back on with you finally knowing how to use it.
Would we accept that as a fact of life? No sir.
So what would we do?
We'd come up with a brilliant plan to take over the world, and it involves
agreeing on what a wall outlet looks like and what we expect it to do. So no
matter the device I want to plug in, as long as my device agrees with the
interface it has been offered, it's good to go.
Will it work without problems everywhere and always? Nah try to plug in your
dutch mp3player in the uk, no go, but within a certain context they can work
wonders.
hth :)

Nice explaination Hans,
BTW to use my dutch MP3-player there is an adapter (interface) for every
country.
But maybe it would be better if the Dutch took over the world
LOL

Hi,
interfaces are pretty simple in reality and they are everywhere.
Imagine every wall outlet looked different, and not only different, but that
in order to use them, you had to remove the outlet first, take a look at the
wiring and then bolt it back on with you finally knowing how to use it.
Would we accept that as a fact of life? No sir.
So what would we do?
We'd come up with a brilliant plan to take over the world, and it involves
agreeing on what a wall outlet looks like and what we expect it to do. So no
matter the device I want to plug in, as long as my device agrees with the
interface it has been offered, it's good to go.
Will it work without problems everywhere and always? Nah try to plug in your
dutch mp3player in the uk, no go, but within a certain context they can work
wonders.
hth :)

Re: [Flashcoders] is there a recognised date format for xml?
PHP: Description int time ( void ) Returns the current time measured in the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT). FLASH: setTime (Date.setTime method) public setTime(millisecond:Number) : Number Sets the date for the specified Date object in milliseconds since midnight on January 1, 1970, and returns the new time in milliseconds. Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5 So there might be a factor thousand difference, so you might have to do php.time()*1000, but I don't know. greetz JC On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 2:52 PM, allandt bik-elliott (thefieldcomic.com) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: would that be the same as the php time() method? because that would be super On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 1:27 PM, Hans Wichman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, isnt milliseconds since 1970 easier?

that's great thanks for all your help guys because i'm using as2, i've decided to go with the Date.getTime()/Date.setTime() and get the serverside devs to spit out the number in milliseconds using time() (possibly *1000) as i can pass that straight to the Date object and let that work everything out for me.

[Flashcoders] Flash apps via bluetooth
Hi, I am working on a project with a control interface that has a little brother for Pocket PC, but I was wondering if it is possible to develop another version for mobiles that can be downloaded via bluetooth. The idea is that the mobile interface could be used to control a system in close proximity and the SWF would be served via bluetooth from something close by. The app would also need to be able to talk to a central server using XML or similar and I am not sure whether I would need an internet connection or if this could be done over bluetooth too? Can anyone give me any pointers to useful info - I have found the Mobile Devices Devnet site on Adobe and also googling, but any good sources would be useful.

[Flashcoders] GC-ing a SharedObject
I have a large scale project I am working on that needs to be loaded and unload so of course I am running into the dreaded AS3 garbage collection mess. I've tracked down the problem to a local SharedObject of a particular class. The destructor of said class closes the SharedObject (even though that shouldn't be necessary since it is local) and nulls the variable but it seems this is not enough for the garbage collector. The memory is not released. However, if I never create the SharedObject in the first place and go through the same destruction procedure memory is released!

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash apps via bluetooth
It should be possible by using something like perhaps a .dll and a Flash wrapper - in theory. For example, the WiiFlash server allows a Wiimote to communicate to a Bluetooth dongle and on to the Flash file. We built some Flash games that are controlled with a Wiimote and a Bluetooth dongle using WiiFlash server (which I believe is just a Zinc or mProjector exe which can talk to the dongle and/or Windows COM of some sort). The communication works both ways too - the Wiimote controller can control sprites and events in a Flash file, and the Flash file can do things to the Wiimote like make it rumble. I can't tell you more than that, but you might try and ask on the WiiFlash forums how they built the WiiFlash server to get Bluetooth communication happening between the Flash file and the dongle.
