Wooohooo, now I see how much more control we could have by choosing
Objective-C instead of AS, so so so much more control in the way
things are written down. Can we ask for a premium in terms of
pricing ? because the code is cleaner you know ... apple wise.
I have a serious example where one client needed an application: he
did contact an approved iPhone application developper: the guy made a
whole crap out of the project, making it unusable. That was laughable
given he was some post thesis engineer and given the price he'd asked
for developping this app. Then we contacted some 'smart' AS3
developper, who made it to the iPhone in a clean and functionnal way.
Amazing story isn't it ? My conclusion: I will never ever ask some
iPhone engineer to develop something again except for lists, buttons
and panes rotating :) Too expensive all in all, and there's a chance
that quality will get low (if you want to do anything more than
displaying lists and buttons + scrolling panes).
Hey, that's cool but still not rad. We should all learn assembler /
machine based languages, and stop doing cosmetics with either C/C++/
ObjC etc ... these are all interpreters. And Assembler is not that hard.
The iOS forcing people to learn Objective C is some dictatorial
concept. I am glad some are going down this route, I am glad for them.

I believe that won't work because 1) I already do that, and 2) ASDoc tries to include any classes that import third party classes.

Re: [Flashcoders] ASDoc third party libraries
if your library is a .swc file, you should be able to just include it in
the -library-path without it being documented, like this:
-source-path ${build.working_root}/src
-library-path+=${build.working_root}/libs
in the case of source-based libraries, you could compile a .swc and link
to that in your code instead, then use the library-path for your docs.
(you also could ask the library developer to offer a .swc...seems like a
good thing to do.)
lower-level -doc-sources entries might do the trick too. e.g.,
-doc-sources /src/com/yourpackageA/ /src/com/yourpackageB/
instead of:
-doc-sources /src/
another option might be to explicitly list all your own classes in the
doc-classes, then set -exclude-dependencies to true.
i don't believe there's a way to exclude a package from docs.
sadly, asdoc is pretty primitive. i have a laundry list of feature
requests that i'll post here when i've entered bugs so people can help
vote them up.

[Flashcoders] Re:drawrect: get the linestyle drawing inside
Hi Ktu,
Thanks for your supportive emails.
I'm not a newbie but I thought I might have missed something on the API
that wasn't apparent in the as3 docs.
It sucks to have it confirmed it isn't supported :)
The thing is I want to stay as close to the original api as possible
preferably without wrappers (we're not only talking about rects but also
curved shapes are possible you see...). Though I'd be happy to see what
you're take on it looks like :)
Thanks,
Latcho

From my experience, there is no API support for it. It sucks I know.
I deal with this problem all the time.
For transparency, the beginFill(color:uint, alpha:Number); you can
specify alpha. With the system I have shown you, the stroke would be
transparent over top of the original color, so a red square with a
semi transparent blue border would produce purple as your border.
If you want the stroke to be unaffected by the inside square it
wouldn't be that hard to write a class to handle that. In fact, I use
this so often I think I will do that.
I should be able to finish by Thursday at the latest and I'll share
when I'm done. If you are eager for it, the idea would be to have
build an object, that you would specify dimensions for, and fill color
and alpha, and also the border fill and alpha, then when it draws the
rectangle, it incorporates the stroke width into consideration so that
there are no graphics behind it.

RE: [Flashcoders] ASDoc third party libraries
Thanks Colin,
My library is not a .swc - it's a work-in-progress and other coders
contribute to it, though I suppose I could try and compile as .swc and
try that. The third party classes are things like Papervision and
TweenLite - they aren't going to offer me up a .swc most likely :) I
don't think they exist for those. The problem would remain for the main
library .swc though with the third party libraries being imported into
some of those classes thought, right?
another option might be to explicitly list all your own classes in the
doc-classes, then set -exclude-dependencies to true.
I have tried various forms of adding -exclude-dependencies in
FlashDevelop's Actionscript Documentation Generator, but keep getting
this error:
Error: exclude-dependencies can not be used with doc-sources.
And honestly, I'm not even sure how to use that flag correctly (if
that's even the right flag at all). I tried adding a class name right
after it but it couldn't find the class. Searching online for an hour
has done no good. The documentation really stinks for ASDoc and so does
the help system you can call with a -help flag. But listing out all 50
or so classes - yeech! :)
I'll try some of your examples out and report back - thanks so much for
your reply.
Anyone know of any documentation generators that play better with AS
libraries (and ideally, though not necessarily, work with FlashDevelop)?
I've had the AS3 adapter for ZenDocs and NaturalDocs suggested to me
from someone on Flexcoders but haven't had time to try those out yet.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re:drawrect: get the linestyle drawing inside
atm the best thing I can come up with is an object that can recreate the
draw methods, assuming that you want a stroke on it. If I am just going to
stick with drawRect, drawRoundRect, and drawRoundRectComplex I can do that.
Looking into 'drawing' an inner stroke when using lineTo curveTo etc and
other draw commands will take a bit more work and time.
I kind of feel like it might end up being InnerStroke extends Shape, and
creating public methods that are 'override's of the graphics drawing api.
Just thoughts out loud.

For transparency, the beginFill(color:uint, alpha:Number); you can specify
alpha. With the system I have shown you, the stroke would be transparent
over top of the original color, so a red square with a semi transparent blue
border would produce purple as your border.
If you want the stroke to be unaffected by the inside square it wouldn't
be that hard to write a class to handle that. In fact, I use this so often I
think I will do that.
I should be able to finish by Thursday at the latest and I'll share when
I'm done. If you are eager for it, the idea would be to have build an
object, that you would specify dimensions for, and fill color and alpha, and
also the border fill and alpha, then when it draws the rectangle, it
incorporates the stroke width into consideration so that there are no
graphics behind it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re:drawrect: get the linestyle drawing inside
I think the static method would work if I were just doing rectangles, but
with lineTo, curveTo I think it needs to be an object.
A new thought that occurred to me: Have an object that will have a fill
sprite and a stroke sprite, separate from each other. Then if you call
lineStyle() with the inner:Boolean = true anytime you call a drawing command
it would draw a stroke in the stroke Sprite but offset all the values so the
stroke is inside. If you specify overlap:Boolean = false; then the object
would compensate so that the stroke does not overlap the fill.
It may work, but it would only really work if lineStyle pixelHinting = true,
and better still, if I forced all values to be int. There's no reason for it
not to be anyway.
Does that make sense?

Re: [Flashcoders] ASDoc third party libraries
Well, I must admit it is a theory more so. Probably a better solution than that. Is it possible that in your file that calls ASDoc, where it goes to actually call the ASDoc class, having conditional statements add the includes to the other classes only if the ASDoc is finished loading? Sort of putting the ASDoc in a pseudo cue? That aside, I found this information on Excluding in ASDoc. Excluding an inherited element By default, the ASDoc tool copies information and a link for all ActionScript elements inherited by a subclass from a superclass. In some cases, a subclass may not support an inherited element. You can use the [Exclude] metadata tag to cause ASDoc to omit the inherited element from the list of inherited elements. The [Exclude] metadata tag has the following syntax: [Exclude(name=elementName, kind=property|method|event|style|effect)] For example, to exclude documentation on the click event in the MyButton subclass of the Button class, insert the following [Exclude] metadata tag in the MyButton.as file: [Exclude(name=click, kind=event)] I found this at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html? content=asdoc_3.html HTH, Karl On Apr 13, 2010, at 3:45 PM, Merrill, Jason wrote: If the var is not present, exclude the class.

I know in FlashDevelop, the Actionscript Documentation Generator has a field for classes to exclude - but it would be impossible to list out all those third party classes - is there a way to exclude an entire package?

RE: [Flashcoders] Full screen with AIR 1.5
Hi John,
I don't really have any links that could help you, but here's a simplified
example from my code that might illustrate my point:
public function onFullScreen() {
var s:Stage = Main.instance.stage;
if (s.displayState != StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN){
s.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
}
}
This method is in a Model class that has no connection to the stage, and
doesn't extend MovieClip or Sprite. This means that I simply used
stage.displayState it would fail because stage would return null. So I'm
using a roundabout way of retrieving the stage instance from my Main class,
which is the Stage Owner (assigned to the stage in the Document properties
of the Flash IDE).
package {
public class Main extends MovieClip{
static public var instance:Main;
public function Main() {
instance = this;
}
All this is provided that the stage returning null is your problem in the
first place... Have you tried running a trace on the stage variable? A
simple trace(stage, stage) should tell you if this is your problem. If it
doesn't return a null, then your problem might be elsewhere. I'm not
familiar with AIR, so I couldn't help you there.

anything that's not a movieclip/sprite that's already part of the

Workarounds: place your code in the Main class or movie clips placed

Re: [Flashcoders] ASDoc third party libraries
One last one, maybe to redeem myself, lol :) / Excluding classes All of the classes specified by the doc-classes, doc-sources, and doc- namespaces options are documented, with the following exceptions: If you specified the class by using the exclude-classes option, the class is not documented. If the ASDoc comment for the class contains the @private tag, the class is not documented. If the class is found in a SWC, the class is not documented. In the following example, you generate output for all classes in the current directory and its subdirectories, except for the two classes comps\PageWidget and comps\ScreenWidget.as: asdoc -source-path . -doc-sources . -exclude-classes comps.PageWidget comps.ScreenWidget Note that the excluded classes are still compiled along with all of the other input classes; only their content in the output is suppressed. If you set the exclude-dependencies option to true, dependent classes found when compiling classes are not documented. The default value is false, which means any classes that would normally be compiled along with the specified classes are documented. For example, you specify class A by using the doc-classes option. If class A imports class B, both class A and class B are documented. / From: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html? content=asdoc_3.html GL, Karl A man who says he just doesn't know will never know, but a man who says he thinks he can know, eventually will.

The [Exclude] metadata tag has the following syntax: [Exclude(name=elementName, kind=property|method|event|style|effect)] For example, to exclude documentation on the click event in the MyButton subclass of the Button class, insert the following [Exclude] metadata tag in the MyButton.as file: [Exclude(name=click, kind=event)] I found this at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html? content=asdoc_3.html HTH, Karl On Apr 13, 2010, at 3:45 PM, Merrill, Jason wrote: If the var is not present, exclude the class.

I believe it looks at your import statements - or at minimum, your typecasting - you can't control what it looks for via Actionscript logic. Is that what you're suggesting? Or are you talking about some ASDoc compiler directives?

Excluding classes
All of the classes specified by the doc-classes, doc-sources, and doc-
namespaces options are documented, with the following exceptions:
If you specified the class by using the exclude-classes option, the
class is not documented.
If the ASDoc comment for the class contains the @private tag, the
class is not documented.
If the class is found in a SWC, the class is not documented.
In the following example, you generate output for all classes in the
current directory and its subdirectories, except for the two classes
comps\PageWidget and comps\ScreenWidget.as:
asdoc -source-path . -doc-sources . -exclude-classes comps.PageWidget
comps.ScreenWidget
Note that the excluded classes are still compiled along with all of
the other input classes; only their content in the output is suppressed.
If you set the exclude-dependencies option to true, dependent classes
found when compiling classes are not documented. The default value is
false, which means any classes that would normally be compiled along
with the specified classes are documented.
For example, you specify class A by using the doc-classes option. If
class A imports class B, both class A and class B are documented.

Well, I must admit it is a theory more so. Probably a better solution
than that.
Is it possible that in your file that calls ASDoc, where it goes to
actually call the ASDoc class,
having conditional statements add the includes to the other classes
only if the ASDoc is finished loading?
Sort of putting the ASDoc in a pseudo cue?
That aside, I found this information on Excluding in ASDoc.

ActionScript elements inherited by a subclass from a superclass. In
some cases, a subclass may not support an inherited element. You can
use the [Exclude] metadata tag to cause ASDoc to omit the inherited

Re: [Flashcoders] ASDoc third party libraries
I think the problem is that you have to list all the classes you want to
exclude. In other words, you want to exclude packages, as you said, but
there's no option to exclude a package, you have to list all the classes.
If that's the case, a possible solution -other than doing it manually- is
using some script to generate a list of these classes given a path, then
copy + paste that after the -exclude-classes option.
Listing files is not that hard in batch and since you're on windows, you
have that option available already:
DIR /S /B *.as fileList.txt
The problem is you have now a list of full paths. Converting a path to a
class name is not rocket science in any decent scripting language, but batch
hasn't earn the crappy reputation it has for being... easy to work with.
This should be easy to accomplish in php, python, etc, if any of these
is available in your computer. Or, maybe, you can try to write a JSFL script
to do the job, though you'll have to run it from flash. Or maybe an air app
if you're so inclined (perhaps overkill, but you already know actionscript,
so maybe it's the fastest option)
Anyway, I think if you manage to automate the generation of the exclude
list, you will be able to run the asdoc task without much manual work.
Just a few ideas, hope it helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] Full screen with AIR 1.5
Thank you very much, but after looking inside of every possible button and
option I found a advance settings button that had the options of turning off
minimize, maximize and close button, then I turn the Window style to Custom
Chrome (opaque) and that removed the standard background color, so I put a
bottom most layer a full screen vector box of the desired color and I have
full screen. ;)
Thank you VERY much for your help and suggetions (which I tried that code
and it still didn't work argh). But I all better now.
You have a great day,
