Re: [Flashcoders] binary-coded image
yes, thanks everyone it made sens last night when I got to bed for a while...:) yes it's just an image where color are black or white1/0...binary-coded...wow! :) Only for processing, not less space... thanks ;) L Daniel Boey a écrit : Hi, BitmapData class has a threshold method that does what Ashim mentioned which if you were to go to the extreme 0 and 255 of a pixel value you'd ultimately obtain a black and white image anyway. Main use of thresholding however is for image processing purposes which I will not go in depth here and not really to help save size because you won't be able to get your image back unless you save the pixel values of the original. I'm guessing you might mean using the ByteArray class which can be used to store binary data and has a built-in compress method to boot.

In Firefox you can use flashtracer https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3469so I imagine using a similar method you could pull trace commands into an Air app. If you do end up using a textField, make sure to use += and a newline character \n in each call.

Re: [Flashcoders] display trace() in text field
or you can override trace like so:
override public function trace(...args) : void {
super();
textFieldYouWantToTraceIn.appendText(args.toString());
}
This is from the top of my head, so the code could have errors in it.
Test it to see.
Cheers,
Sid
PS. You can ony do this from a class file. I don't think the Flash IDE
lets you override functions directly.

[Flashcoders] Arabic flipping
OK... I think I've reached the end of the internet as well as the end of my patients. I've been trying to figure out a way to take translations that I've received in an Excel spreadsheet and paste them into an XML document. The XML is UTF-8 and it's plain text (of course). No matter what editor (Flex Builder 3, Dreamweaver, Text Edit, WordPad, NotePad, Word, etc.) or OS (OSX 10.4, Windows XP) or combination of the two, it seems that when I try to combine the eastern translation with western markup (XML tags, or even western characters for that matter), as soon as I drop in a single character, if flips the orientation of the translated Arabic text?!? Everything that I find on the internet leads me hopeful down a path of ultimate disappointment. I know that I'm not the only one with this problem and I'm sure one of you has experienced this. Please let me in on you secrets. I beg you... Let me just clarify—My problem is not font related (I've got that all sorted out), and for the most part it's not really Flash related (except for the fact that I'm using this XML content for dynamic text fields). this list is probably not the proper place for this question, but I'm out of options and I thinking that I'm going to have to scrap some of the digging I've done in relation to getting text to display properly and make alterations to my application to load images instead of live type.

Re: [Flashcoders] display trace() in text field
Michael,
When you override the exsisting trace function, you can do this. Just
include your own functionality in the overwritten trace function.
Its all because you want to have the same function call to trace() i
presume?

override public function trace(...args) : void {

textFieldYouWantToTraceIn.appendText(args.toString());

This is from the top of my head, so the code could have errors in it.
Test it to see.
Cheers,
Sid
PS. You can ony do this from a class file. I don't think the Flash
IDE lets you override functions directly.

Is it possible to display trace actions in a text field? I realize

Re: [Flashcoders] Arabic flipping
I just finished developing an english website, with arabic ( http://www.nakheelharbour.com/). Actually the arabic isnt ready due the complications I found in my way. I tried a lot of things... Load xmls with arabic text, load css to align to right, use system fonts, embedding fonts, etc etc etc. We had feedback from arabic client, and he said that in all cases, the text seems wrong for him. In our eastern computers, the text was right, but when they test, the text changes a lot and is broken, without their ligatures. Honestly, I found a pain in the ass make it work, dont know if CS4 have support for unicode chars, and I finished doing a very boring alternative: Putting images or vectors in arabic version.

[Flashcoders] E4x replace nodename
Hello list,
i make the following query on an xml file to retrieve a list with
certain node names:
var tXML:XML = data
findname_H1[EMAIL PROTECTED]/findname_H1
findname_H2[EMAIL PROTECTED]/findname_H2
/data
var pat:RegExp = new RegExp('findname' , 'i')
var tList:XMLList = tXML.*.(pat['test'](name()))
This works fine, but know i would like to in addition to finding them
also remove the 'findname_'
I could use this:
var tList:XMLList = tXML.*.(pat['test'](name())).(editNodeName(name()))
function editNodeName(tObj:String):void{
trace('- ',tObj);
}
And then create a new XMLlist with custom nodes. But how do I access the
currentNode in the query instead of the name().
Or is it possible to directly do a regExp replace on the node?
Thnx
Jiri

Re: [Flashcoders] To support FP10 or not to support FP10
I try not to base those kinds of decisions on target audience. These sites are not candy viral and are meant to act as my clients presence on the web meaning they should be widely accessible. Of course there is some concession being made by choosing to use flash at all but that's a different discussion. I resist to use flash elements for anything except what can't be achieved otherwise. Does targeting fp10 using expressInstall cause mozilla and other browser users to close and install or is it seamless? (sorry I haven't tested yet) I guess I'd only be comfortable if it was seamless. If any of you are targeting 10, what was your reasoning? On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 1:08 PM, Merrill, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What is your audience? How many?

RE: [Flashcoders] To support FP10 or not to support FP10
[my web sites are] meant to act as my clients presence on the web meaning they should be widely accessible... Then as you said, they should be widely accessible. Why would you force many of your users to upgrade to Flash player 10 before it's widely ubiquitous? Without deep market penetration yet, using Flash player 10 decreases a site's accessibility. If you live by the accessibility principle you stated above, it seems to be a no-brainer that you would want to stick with Flash player 9 until FP10 gets into more browsers.

Re: SPAM-LOW: Re: [Flashcoders] Arabic flipping
@Cedric I did see that. The problem with that is it's not XML. When I try to wrap any of the translations in tags, the words shift order. It has to have something to do with mixing Eastern and Western characters. I think it's tied to the alignment. Since Arabic is right justified, it displays properly when those are the only characters in the document. As soon as you introduce a Western character, it must automatically switch the justification and by doing so it flips the order of the Eastern words.

When you override the exsisting trace function, you can do this. Just
include your own functionality in the overwritten trace function.
Its all because you want to have the same function call to trace() i

Subject: [Flashcoders] display trace() in text field
Good morning everyone.
Is it possible to display trace actions in a text field? I realize
there
are numerous other troubleshooting tools similar to trace, but I
specifically want to display trace actions without any additional
coding
required in the target file. I want to create a debugging tool in
AIR
that will allow me to display trace actions from currently running
swfs.
I suspect this isn't feasible, but any tips or ideas would be
appreciated, Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loader bytesTotal equals to 0

Hi,
If you have 20 items that needs to be loaded, all 20 items have to have
started loading before bytesTotal can be determined. Otherwise it'll remain
at 0.
This best explains it and an alternative provided as well:
