Re: [Flashcoders] Best Practices and optimization
I was lucky to addend Grant Skinner on FITC Amsterdam and he spoke about good/fast coding practice with Actionscript or: Quick as Flash. You can find it here: http://www.gskinner.com/talks/quickNL/ Interesting was his PerformanceTestClass. Some pre information about it I wrote on my blog: http://blog.dieanstalt.com/?p=480lang=en - Session 3 *Beatrix Kruemmer-Frau* Dipl. Ing.

I lost all my old emails. Is there a document or website or page on adobe that I can go to that has all the best practices for coding in AS2 and AS3? Something that gives real life scenarios? My thought is that most of the flash sites that are memory hogs are ones that are not utilizing the best methods. I would like my sites to not be one of those. I have been to many professional flash sites that do not bog my system and video seems to play like I am watching TV. I have a less than perfect internet connection, so I know there has got to be a One way to creating a seamless flash website. The real code if you will. Something that says this is what most people do, don't do that, do this. For the laymen. OR If there is not something available like this, can it be put together? It just seems like there are way too many ways to do the same thing in AS and not all of them work well in every situation, but knowing this is a battle. Not trying to short-cut things, just wanted to know if there was something out there. If there is, then I'd like to post it everywhere under the moon. If everyone could find it and learn from it, we may have a new era of flash on our hands. :) Personally, I feel that the negative opinions about flash are actually based off this factor alone. People not knowing the Best way to code AS. Not that flash is actually that bad. If I could get a suggestion from someone at the top, that would be stellar, but all welcome.

Re: [Flashcoders] Resize stage at runtime
Hi Cor, We have to do this quite often - we use the magnificent BrowserCanvas (which was surprisingly hard to find): http://www.dncompute.com/blog/2008/06/23/browsercanvas-the-worlds-easiest-way-to-dynamically-resize-flash.html Hope that helps you as much as it helped us.

Re: [Flashcoders] Resize stage at runtime
Hi Cor, If all your wanting is for it to resize the HTML to the extent of the users window and the swf to fill the HTML, I have an index.html file I could send you off list for you to try, that does exactly this. It also uses SWFObject. I've tested Mac and PC - IE, Safari, Firefox, Navigator, Opera, Sunrise, etc. LMK, Karl On Apr 27, 2010, at 1:06 PM, Ruy Adorno wrote: Take a look at this library: http://swffit.millermedeiros.com/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] input TextFields in embedded swf stealing focus
Our project is build in AS2. It's imported into an AS3 console written in Flex. The problem is that the input type TextFields in the embedded movie are stealing focus from the other TFs in the container console. I can tab between the TFs in my movie. If I click inside one of the TFs in the container, as soon as I let go of the mouse focus goes immediately back to the last TF which had focus in the embedded movie. I'm able to reproduce the problem in a simple test movie. Here's pretty much all the code related to the TFs // each TF is inside of its own container MC inputClip.tabChildren = true; // var tf:TextField = TextField(inputClip.inputText); tf.tabEnabled = true; tf.tabIndex = 1000+i; // this is inside of a loop, there are a total of 5 clips tf.type = input; tf.selectable = true; How do I fix this? My work is screwing up the project for the rest of our team members :-( Thanks! ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] Duplicate object problem
Hi
I can not find way to get copy of Sprite or MovieClip
Here is example code. I load jpg and add it to sprite. I want to have
copy of this sprite not just after loading. I want to have it later.
var mc:Sprite=new Sprite()
addChild(mc)
var mc2:Sprite=new Sprite()
addChild(mc2)
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(images/img1.jpg);
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,
picLoaded);
mc.addChild(imageLoader);
mc.visible=false;
imageLoader.load(req);
function picLoaded(e:Event):void {
duplicateObject(imageLoader.content,mc2); // that works well
}
somewhere later I try
duplicateObject(mc,mc2)
or another way
duplicateImage(Bitmap(mc),mc2)
Both give a mistake
function duplicateObject(original:DisplayObject,to:Sprite){
var myBitmap:Bitmap=Bitmap(original)
var myBitmapData:BitmapData= new
BitmapData(myBitmap.width,myBitmap.height)
myBitmapData.draw(original,null,null,null,null,true)
var newBitmap:Bitmap=new Bitmap(myBitmapData)
to.addChild(newBitmap);
}
function duplicateImage(original:Bitmap,to:Sprite) {
var image:Bitmap = new
Bitmap(original.bitmapData.clone(),auto,true);
to.addChild(image);
}
Thanks in advance.
