Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Fullscreen mode w/ Windows Projectors

Just out of curiosity... Why are you deploying your application as a
stand-alone projector when you could deploy it as an Adobe AIR application?

 Glen, thanks for the response.

 As an interesting (?) complication to this matter, I recently installed
 the
 new versions of the players to CS3 Professional IDE:



 http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=b62ce659&sliceId=2

 Before I updated, the stage.displayState =
 StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
 command worked but full screen was completely black on Vista.

 After I updated, fullscreen wasn't black but the fullscreen didn't work
 anymore. Did adobe sneak in more stringent security? If so, why does my
 fscommand work?
 Glen, would you mind telling me what player version shows up when you
 export
 a projector from your IDE?

Hi,

   I don't think that updating the FP updates the IDE one normally - I 
have never worked out how to do this, even with Kewbee's Plugin Switcher.


   Not wishing to sound too cynical, but if everyone upgrades their FP 
so easily, then content creators will have to keep up and they are the 
one's who have to shell out for the Adobe products, so maybe that's the 
reason behind this -or maybe it's the rush to keep the IDE on a high 
calorie diet of new features rather than concentrating on keeping it 
trim and mean by fixing the important things that it might be nice to 
get fixed.  I guess I am just bitter because I have not had a chance to

Hi,

 I have no problem with this when publishing a projector from CS3:

 The projector I created is just a shell that loads in another SWF

 But I did run into problems with trying to make a non-projector SWF go
full screen without using fscommand - (we were running flash player from
the

I've run into this before on Windows in Notepad.  I *think* if you right
click in notepad there should be a context menu item for RTL text.  It
was very frustrating for me, but that seemed to reverse the order.

Also, you could try Microsoft's free XML Notepad.

Hope that helps,

[Flashcoders] component def doesn't pass params to constructor?

2009-02-16 Thread Mendelsohn, Michael

Hi list...

If I instance my mc associated with a Ball.as class, through code, there
is no problem:

var b:Ball = new Ball("basketball");
addChild(b);
// basketball shows up on stage

But, if I drag a Ball instance onto the timeline and set "basketball"
from the parameters panel of the tool palette, I get error 1063:argument
count mismatch.  Expected 1, got 0.  Shouldn't the parameter passed in
that panel get passed along to the constructor?

In the component definition, I've tried leaving the class field blank,
or filling it in with Ball.  Neither works.  In the component definition
is a var called "which."  It's a list.  Am I missing a step?

Thanks,
- Michael M.


// The class is:

package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Ball extends MovieClip {
public function Ball(which:String){
gotoAndStop(which);
}
}
}

new versions of the players to CS3 Professional IDE:

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=b62ce659&sliceId=2

Before I updated, the stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
command worked but full screen was completely black on Vista.

After I updated, fullscreen wasn't black but the fullscreen didn't work
anymore. Did adobe sneak in more stringent security? If so, why does my
fscommand work?
Glen, would you mind telling me what player version shows up when you export
a projector from your IDE?

[Flashcoders] RTL...

2009-02-16 Thread Glen Pike


Hi,
  
   (Using CS3 publishing to FP8 with Windoze).


   Slightly OT, but I am working with Arabic text in Flash and trying 
to paste from an XLS spreadsheet (viewing with OpenOffice) to an XML 
file.  I then load this file into Flash and extract some of the node 
contents to use as text in dynamic text fields.  Because Flash does not 
deal with RTL very well in older players, I am not embedding the font / 
turning it off for the Arabic language.


   When I view the spreadsheet, I am guessing that the word and letter 
order is correct (comparing to Google Translate it is), but when I paste 
from the spreadsheet to my XML file, the order of letters is reversed 
and subsequently appears incorrectly in Flash.  Checking the trace of 
the XML contents, the extracted text and looking at the text field on 
stage, all of these contain reversed text.  I opened my file in Notepad 
and saved as UTF-8, but still no joy.
  
   - with the text fields, I am turning off font embedding with AS and 
even creating a brand new text field - to no avail...
  
   Does anyone have any tips on what to use for creating the XML from 
my spreadsheet - via copy & paste etc.  I have tried Notepad, Notepad++, 
FlashDevelop and Bonodi XML editor so far all with the same results...


   Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
  
   Thanks


   Glen
