[Flashcoders] Problem with passing URL to Twitter

2009-11-10 Thread Alexander Böhm
Hey there,

I am trying to connect to Twitter out of my Flashapplication. The
issue is, that the text comes with a lot of URL-Codes. I tried using
escape() and encodeURI()... But it is obviously not working... The
code is given below. I'd appreciate if anyone got any clue how to
solve this problem.

function DoTweetBox(me:MouseEvent):void
{
trace (displayedArticle);
var url:String = new String(http://www.twitter.com/;);

var replaceSpace:RegExp = new RegExp( , g);
var replaceUE:RegExp = new RegExp(Ü, g);
var replaceUe:RegExp = new RegExp(ü, g);
var replaceAE:RegExp = new RegExp(Ä, g);
var replaceAe:RegExp = new RegExp(ä, g);
var replaceOE:RegExp = new RegExp(Ö, g);
var replaceOe:RegExp = new RegExp(ö, g);
var replaceTueddel:RegExp = new RegExp(\, g);  
if (displayedArticle == 0)
{
url = http://www.twitter.com/;;
}
else
{
var headlineString:String = new
String(MovieClip(getChildByName(DetailView)).headline_txt.text);
headlineString =
MovieClip(getChildByName(DetailView)).headline_txt.text.replace(replaceSpace,
+);
/*headlineString = headlineString.replace(replaceUE, %C3%9C);
headlineString = headlineString.replace(replaceUe, %C3%BC);
headlineString = headlineString.replace(replaceAE, %C3%84);
headlineString = headlineString.replace(replaceAe, %C3%A4);
headlineString = headlineString.replace(replaceOE, %C3%96);
headlineString = headlineString.replace(replaceOe, %C3%B6);
headlineString = headlineString.replace(replaceTueddel, 
%22);*/
//headlineString = encodeURI(headlineString);
var overlineString:String = new
String(MovieClip(getChildByName(DetailView)).overline_txt.text);
overlineString =
MovieClip(getChildByName(DetailView)).overline_txt.text.replace(replaceSpace,
+);
/*overlineString = overlineString.replace(replaceUE, %C3%9C);
overlineString = overlineString.replace(replaceUe, %C3%BC);
overlineString = overlineString.replace(replaceAE, %C3%84);
overlineString = overlineString.replace(replaceAe, %C3%A4);
overlineString = overlineString.replace(replaceOE, %C3%96);
overlineString = overlineString.replace(replaceOe, %C3%B6);
overlineString = overlineString.replace(replaceTueddel,

//overlineString = encodeURI(overlineString);
url = http://www.twitter.com/?status=...@sternde+; +
escape(overlineString) + :+ + escape(headlineString) +

}

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

trace (url);

[Flashcoders] slightly OT: Problems installing FP10

2009-11-10 Thread Mikael Wirén
Hi guys,
One of our server techs came to me with a problem.
HeÂŽs upgrading a laptop running Win XP SP3 and IE8.
But everytime heÂŽs installing Flash Player 10 it chokes trying to register the 
software.
ItÂŽs allways on a file called flashplayer10c.ocx
Anyone with a hint to what the problem could be?

TIA

Thanks Henrik, I didn't notice... 


Hello List,
I was wondering if a loaded swf can have a different frame rate from its 
parent, as i have the main swf that runs at 30 fps and the animation i 
load that runs at 24 fps.


Thanks in advance.

Simple No. There is only one framerate in the player. It defaults to the 
rate used for the first loaded swf file.

That would be more like a hack to move the playhead manually. That is 
not going to work out for things syncing to the real framerate, subclips 
or tons of other situations, with the most noticeable being streaming audio.

 Jason, yes, indeed you should be able to use Point.polar() it should
of course give the same result as long you give the angle in radians ;)

OK, so just curious, why all the trig?  Converting angles to radians and
vice versa is easy enough.

No http client can do this, the http RFC requires the resource name to 
not contain any spaces. The encoding is required.

[Flashcoders] how to create rss/data changes on server, how to process in AS3

2009-11-10 Thread Andrew Sinning

I'm working in Flash, not Flex.

I have a php script that takes an incoming query from AS3 and returns 
the resulting data.   The data changes very quickly over time.  
Currently the script returns _all_ of the available data.


I then read in all of the refreshed data into AS3, compare each item 
with corresponding items in my DataProvider, update any modified items 
and add any new ones.


This seems terribly inefficient.  What should I be doing differently?

Should my server be broadcasting changes?

Should my query include the time-stamp of it's last update so the server 
can return just the changes?


Are there standard library objects for php to handle this process?

Thanks!

Which results in the proper status update in Twitter. There must be a way to
do this as other client applications are updating twitter with spaces in
their status?

If you by my url really mean Address bar in my browser, then it is 
because your webbrowser did the escaping for you.

If you are allowed to run PHP scripts which stay running, you can use a 
PHP socket server that handles the communications...


If you google PHP socket server there are loads of examples around.  
Once you have the PHP script running, you can run your PHP commands and 
talk to MySQL db's.  You just have to watch out for some environment 
variable differences - webserver vs command line sometimes have 
different ini settings, paths, etc.

Hey Glen,

I've used that very approach in the past, but we had some issues with 
firewalls using the allowed ports for the xml socket object.  Using 
NetConnection and a SharedObject object with Red5 allows us to use 
http-tunneling as a fall-back.


Hmm.  Maybe I could get php running on the same server to send updates 
to the Red5 server

[Flashcoders] Capturing TextEvent from image in textfield

2009-11-10 Thread Mattheis, Erik (MIN - WSW)
How do I send an event from a click on an image in a textfield? Clicking on the 
actual text fires the event, but it doesn't fire when clicking on an image from 
the library placed inline:

pageText.displayValue.htmlText = 'pa href=event:a1bimg src=plus 
/Our world-class scientists/b/a/p';
pageText.displayValue.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, toggleVisibility);

function toggleVisibility(e:Event) {
trace('text event triggered');
}

Try
pageText.displayValue.htmlText = 'pa href=' + event:a1 + 'img  
src=' + plus + ' /bOur world-class scientists/b/a/p';


I think it was reading your URLs as strings of text instead of  
variables holding the URLs. Not positive though.

RE: [Flashcoders] Capturing TextEvent from image in textfield

2009-11-10 Thread Mattheis, Erik (MIN - WSW)
Karl, Gerry -

Thanks, I just tried the code I posted below at home and it works as expected.

I must have done something funky elsewhere in the code with the version at 
work: when I click on Our world-class scientists, the event fires, when I 
click on the movieclip in the textfield it doesn't.

In the problematic version, I'm altering the externally loaded text at runtime, 
inserting an image in places that need a visual indicator for this text 
expands. I'm guessing the way I'm doing it doesn't add the event listener to 
the movieclip because it's not yet been added to the display list.
