Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server
And when you trace out you do get the contents of the file? Yup, I saw file content in debug window. If it does work, my question becomes something different; How do i convert the loaded in data (one big string) to a File object ? Use xml instead of text? - Can i add data to a File Object? - Can i create a new temporary File Object and and string data to it? Nope and nope. The data property of a File object is read only. Check the docs. You typically use a File object in combination with a FileStream instance to read/write to disk. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/File.html http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/FileStream.html I save it in memory and pass it through to the rest. Depends on what the "rest" is, but you can pass a File object around, just like any other object. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: "Sidney de Koning" To: "Flash Coders List" Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 4:49 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server Hi Muzak, And when you trace out you do get the contents of the file?

I think that, for every rollover, there has to be a corresponding
rollout before you can effectively disable the event listener.

[Flashcoders] link bar frustrating question
Hi all,
this is a silly problem that, because it is silly, makes me nervous and
frustrate at the same time.
I've got a class (extends Sprite) that has embedded some MovieClips. Those
MCs are actually containing textboxes with the name of the sections.
for each MC
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onRollOut);
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOver);
private function onRollOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
//change colors here of e.currentTarget
}
private function onRollOver(e:MouseEvent):void {
//change colors here of e.currentTarget
}
In the Main Class I am adding the above class to the displayList and I set
Click Listeners for each of its children
var CurrentLink:Sprite // assume it holds a reference of a link
var linkbar:LinkBar = new LinkBar();
linkBar.link1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
private function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.currentTarget.mouseEnabled = false;
CurrentLink.mouseEnabled = true;
CurrentLink = e.currentTarget;
}
The link clicked is now disabled but there is a little problem, the
CurrentLink still listens for RollOut events as its color change when i take
the mouse off it. I think it shouldn't because I am setting its mouseEnabled
to false.
Any Ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server
Hi Sid,
It might be worth using a web traffic proxy such as Charles to make
sure that your AIR app is issuing a sensible HTTP request to the web
server i.e. that the thing you have which works in the browser is
actually the same as the request issued by the AIR app. I'm not sure
this can be a security error if you're not getting a security error
thrown?
It's not something like the web server issuing a redirect, is it? So
browsing to that URL works fine, but accessing via a request from AIR
fails? Again, Charles could tell you.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading string data in a file from a server
Anybody?
I just want to know how to load an file from a server that holds
string data (xml or txt file) without getting the 2032 error.
Please help,
Sid

keep getting a 2032 Error, a Stream Error. Event though when i load

The docs about this on the net are very limited. This is what i
thought of so far:
- It could be a crossdomain error?
- I do handle all events?
- I tried a loading in a PHP file that uses fopen to serve me the file
Do anyone have any ideas? I just want to read in this text file ( or
any other file with string data from my server ) or should i use
FileStream to read in the file? Eventually the contents of the file
i load in will will need to be a File Object ().
Thanks in advance,

Re: [Flashcoders] need suggestions
Experiment, and follow blogs for one. I'll bet there's heaps of great books out, but I've never bought one so I'm not sure. I find printed information expires too quickly. check out www.gotoandlearn.com as a great starting place.

[Flashcoders] 3D transformation and interactivity trouble
Hi All, I'm having a bit of a problem with nested transforms and interactivity. I have a parent sprite that has 9 children sprites, and the children have listeners for roll over/out. Transforming/animating the parent seems to be absolutely fine; it rotates fine and the children act as expected. However, when I individually animate the children (I'm using Doyle's TweenGroup class) the children start flickering, firing over and out events repeatedly while the mouse is moving. I then tried setting the transform.matrix3D to null after the animation finishing - and resetting the positions - and this seems to help to some extent. It works fine right upto about 1000px from the left of the stage. Everything to the right of this point has the same old problem. I've seen some really interactive flash3d stuff (although that's possibly papervision) that work fine. I'm just not sure where the problem is and need some help. Tried looking around for info, but maybe I just failed at google. Help is much appreciated either way.

[Flashcoders] Flash Player 6 Cross Domain Policy
I need to confirm whether it is possible for a game being published for Flash Player 6 and played with the Flash Player 6 plug-in is able to read and write an xml file on another server? It appears that the cross domain policy files were not introduced until Flash Player 7 - is this correct? Basically my client does not want to host the highscores on their server so I am assessing whether I can host the swf on their server and update and retrieve the high scores from my server using PHP and xml? Any advice much appreciated on possible solutions Paul ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] Accessibility of a flash game
Thanks Glen - that is really useful advice and links. You are spot on with regards the reason for using Flash 6 and I totally agree about the need for them to upgrade especially when they are worried about accessibility and security issues. Thank you to everyone else - I agree about the need to getting the accessibility details in the contract. I think they just added that one line to the brief without really considering what it meant. Many thanks Paul -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Glen Pike Sent: 20 April 2009 21:16 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Accessibility of a flash game Hi, UK DDA has not been fully tested yet with websites, but the emphasis is on encouraging people to implement "good practice". Niqui Merret has done some good practical stuff about accessibility - I went to a session at FOTB 2007 which is fairly "ageless" as it discussed approaches rather than technology. http://niquimerret.com/ has various articles and links. If the "accessibility" bit is an addition to the spec' / agreed contract, you will need to sit down with the client and make sure that you agree on any extra charges / what's not included, etc. If the client makes you jump through too many hoops for this it could get annoying and damage your relationship, so be up front with them. I think one idea would be to identify the visitors who may have different needs when accessing your game, etc. As it is a game, it may not be possible to accommodate all user types, but with some careful planning you can cover a lot of bases and then tell the visitors what you have done to address the needs of everyone. I am not sure why the requirements of FP6 are essential - my guess is that you are stuck doing some government / civil service contract, but you may need to carefully look at the tools provided for helping you create more accessible content in later versions of Flash and possibly argue your case here. (IMHO, It's high time the IT departments of many of these org's pull their fingers out anyway as far as upgrading is concerned.) There are quite a few resources to do with UK guidelines for websites, which I would look at interpreting carefully for games, here are some of my "web" ones collected over time...: http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/ http://www.w3.org/WAI/ http://www.uiaccess.com/dda-uk.html http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/code/public_rnib008789 .hcsp http://www.publicsectorforums.co.uk/page.cfm?LANGUAGE=eng&pageID=1701&lowres =true http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/full-checklist.html http://www.w3.org/WAI/wcag-curric/int1-0.htm http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/jaws/jaws-downloads.asp http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/design.htm Anyway, that's a start, but remember it's about usability & accessiblity not just doing a high contrast colour scheme for partially sited people :) Hope this helps a bit.
