[Flashcoders] File access
Is there a way to display the thumbnail of a file? Like a .PSD (Photoshop file). They sometimes come with an embedded thumbnail. I wanted to know if you can access this and use it to display. I am working in AS2. Would it take a code to do that, or no way to do that in flash? Any thoughts would help.

Re: [Flashcoders] File access
Hi, Don't think you could do this in Flash without loading the whole image file, even if it did have a thumbnail - not sure if this is a feature of the JPEG / PNG spec or not? If you are loading images from the server, you could run a script that generates thumbnails on the fly, (hopefully caching them for further browser requests). There are loads of free scripts - phpThumb is one I have seen that may do the caching too. HTH Glen Karl DeSaulniers wrote: Is there a way to display the thumbnail of a file?

Re: [Flashcoders] File access
Hi, The open-file dialog is an OS thing - the thumbs come from the OS rather than the image. PSD's are an exception - the thumbnail appears in the Adobe style dialogue for these... I am guessing AS3 + AIR may allow a bit more flexibility with opening and accessing file data in the way you would like, but as you are using AS2, you are probably restricted to uploading a file, making a thumbnail then displaying it... Be aware that if you are thinking of doing something like this, image uploading, even with phpThumb, is often exploited by hackers - read the doc's / fix list if you are thinking of using ready made scripts and weigh up pros/cons.

[Flashcoders] e.target subobjects how do I refrence??
I have a loop that is assigning event listeners to target. My targets
are named btn1, btn2, btn3, etc etc.
inside each btn, I have a movie clip called menuSquare_mc which I want
to animate. how can I target menuSquare_mc of each button using only 1
function???
function down($e:MouseEvent ):void {
trace($e.type + : +$e.target ) ;
if ($e.type == mouseOver) {
TweenMax.to($e.target.menuSquare_mc, .3, {alpha:.06, delay:0,
ease:Sine.easeOut});
}
}
the above code fails... I want it to say btn1.menuSquare_mc,
btn2.menuSquare_mc, etc) using just 1 function...
in fact, my idea would be to use if $e.type == mouseDown do another
function just like the over and one just like the out.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 known? bug with _yscale property when class extends MovieClip
it's probably the classical scope issue in as2: you set the value in a listener, or in a function which is passed as a parameter. use mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, yourFunction) instead of yourFunction where you pass the parameter. Such scope issues also appear if you use super keyword.. but it's less usual. Olivier Andrew Sinning a écrit : I'm setting the value inside of the class which extends MovieClip. It is really bizarre that it would change the yscale of _root. This mc is buried 5 clips deep inside of a swf that is in turn imported into the _root. Jordan L.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT - Running windows with bootcamp
Hi, I was at this dissatisfying thing a while back, and an Adobe sales rep was relying on Bootcamp to show me how adobe Audition Performed with some of my DirectX VSTs of choice, particularly Izotope Trash. It worked beautifully well, with very low latency, and she was able to install the drivers for my portable Tascam US-144 on the spot, in order for me to test it out (I had it on me, along with my Shure SM58 Mic, because I was going to be recording something for my non-tech-savvy-friend in his basement, and she, the Adobe Rep was willing because she bored to tears, had some free time, and was really nice). Because of Bootcamp I am going to be purchasing a higher end MAC Notebook when the Toshiba I am on crashes (GIFT, I wouldn't buy it). Since I was on the topic, with regard to Audition 3, I have worked with it a little, and I have to say: -it has very nice features that make it a great alternative for people used to adobe style interfaces -has been pretty darn stable from my experience; although, use has been limited, and its engine and my tascam driver clash a little once in a while, with a lot of pops and clicks when I push my system too hard -forces me to manually change my driver to 96k instead of 44.1k in an ini file, so my ASIO driver works the way I want it to -lacks some very sweet features that Sonar and Protools have, that I just can't live without.

Re: [Flashcoders] Recommendation for AS3 decompiler?
Why would you want it to? Why not just learn the AS3? If you know as3, you can use what you have learned and apply it to other languages. Well, MXML and AS3 are used for different things in a typical Flex application. MXML is much better than AS3 for layout manager stuff. AS3 is much better than MXML for everything else. So a typical Flex app uses both appropriately. Any Flex programmer will, in fact, know AS3 because you can't write a useful Flex app with MXML alone. Well, maybe you could, but I really wouldn't want to try.

RE: [Flashcoders] Recommendation for AS3 decompiler?
My understanding is that this gets converted to AS3 prior to compilation. This is true. You could infer some MXML structure based on the AS3 code, but it would be complicated to do. . Any Flex programmer will, in fact, know AS3 because you can't write a useful Flex app with MXML alone. This is true as well. Not that I am a complete pro at Flex, but I have found you want to know both MXML and Actionscript fairly equally. On large projects, I spend more time in Actionscript, but having the MXML makes life much easier and is important to make use of, MXML can save you a lot of time and headaches. I do think there are uses for MXML that are non-visual though, like setting up a webservice connection, describing effects (which I guess you could argue is visual, but it not a layout thing) or even loading XML, but for the most part, I think you're right. MXML for the view - what you see, and Actionscript for most everything else. You can even write arrays and stuff with MXML but I've never seen a good reason for that.

Re: [Flashcoders] Recommendation for AS3 decompiler?
This is true as well. Not that I am a complete pro at Flex, but I have found you want to know both MXML and Actionscript fairly equally. And, of course, the class library is the same in either, so if you know how to invoke something via MXML, you basically know how to invoke it in AS3 and vice-versa. The basic syntax of both MXML and AS3 can be picked up quite easily by any experienced programmer in a day or so. I do think there are uses for MXML that are non-visual though, like setting up a webservice connection, describing effects (which I guess you could argue is visual, but it not a layout thing) or even loading XML, but for the most part, I think you're right. MXML for the view - what you see, and Actionscript for most everything else. You can even write arrays and stuff with MXML but I've never seen a good reason for that. Yeah, I generally use MXML for WebService, HTTPService, RemoteObject, etc, but they're not really part of the view, it's just what I'm used to. The syntax for doing this just seems to be a bit cleaner to me.

Re: [Flashcoders] if only flash would incorporate these features
Impressive. But we're gonna have to wait a lot before such think comes to Flash. First it will be introduced in 3D packages i guess. Such a thing could make me like 3D modeling. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] cs3 compiler vs cs4 compiler
I'm hoping that somebody else other than me has noticed this, and that perhaps somebody else out there would know why adobe made this change, so here goes... I've found that the cs4 as3 compiler is doing little or no optimization when ity comes to compiling a swf when a code library swc is sitting in my fla library. Let's take the google maps as3 code library swc as an example. In cs3 i'd place the swc into my library, and import one class and instantiate it. Publish the swf and the end result is a swf that weighs very little. Examining the swf with hp's swfscan shows that only the class and dependants are compiled in. Repeating the same process with cs4 results in a swf weighing over 50k. It appears that every class definition from the swc gets compiled in. Even removing all import statements makes no difference, so long as the swc is in the library, all the classes go into your swf! Anybody out there aware of this? Is there a way to prevent this behaviour? Was this intended by adobe, or is this an oversight? Any comments/pointers appreciated! ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Embed Fonts in Main SWF
You can embed specific ranges like this: http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/index.php/topic,1678.msg7436.html#msg7436 If you put the font in the library, you can just set the font to export in frame 1, give it a class name and then Font.registerFont(fontClassName); Easy peasy.

Can the child swf use the embedded fonts from the main swf? I've tried and so far I haven't managed to get this working, obviously if I embed the fonts into the child swf the fonts appear as expected. Cheers!
