Re: [Flashcoders] Omit Files on Build in Flash Builder
No, the files are not directly included. They are files residing in source folders which should be omitted. I see that I can set a whole folder to be read-only or archive. Is there no option to Omit from build? The flow you describe would work I guess. It just seems very cumbersome. Thanks Elia On Sat, May 15, 2010 at 9:28 PM, Dave Watts dwa...@figleaf.com wrote: How do I define which files to omit when the building process occurs in Flash Builder. Flash Builder likes to include every single swf, gif, png. Are any of those files directly included in the file you're building via the Embed directive? If so, they're going to be included in the build process, as they have to be read by the compiler into the output. In other cases, you can define a working set that includes just the resources you want, then uncheck Build Automatically and build the working set instead.

[Flashcoders] FDT4 or Flash Builder 4
I am about to invest in a few desks worth of AS3 IDEs (we have both straight Flash projects and future requirements for Flex applications). I currently use FDT and am pretty happy with it (though not used it for MXML) - my main gripe being the absence of the Flash Builder profiling features - I see FDT is introducing this and has a Beta available which looks good (possibly better than FlashBuilder). Has anyone been through any kind of evaluation/comparison? Has anyone used both in conjunction? Any steer would be appreciated... What say the masses?

Re: [Flashcoders] flash cs5 any good for coding? if not is it any good at all?
code assist is one of those features you never knew that you where missing. If you never knew you were missing it, then you were REALLY missing it. CS5 is better for coding. The code hinting is much better. Code hinting saves you millions of keystrokes when you get used to it. Also, CS5 has the snippets panel which when used properly can save even more keystrokes. I've you've only ever used the Flash IDE for coding, then yes, CS5 is much better for it. However, if you've used FDT, Flash Builder/Eclipse, or FlashDevelop, then there is nothing new.

[Flashcoders] Line break in dynamic text imported from xml
It's been a long time since I've done any coding. I think this is
pretty straightforward but it has me beat. Can you help?
I'm working on a quiz using AS1 (I think) that reads questions and
answers from an xml file. (see below for the script).
I'd like to introduce line breaks into the feedback, how do I do this?
I've tried using \r but it just displays this as text.
Ideally I'd like to display the text as html but so far my efforts to
do this have broken the script - any pointers?
Here's the action script for the quiz. I hope it makes sense:

It pairs nicely with Flash CS5... do your UI stuff in the IDE and have the project live in FB4.

From what I remember when using xml with html, you need to wrap your html
inside of a* ![CDATA[**]]* to get it to render properly. You can put a \r

Re: [Flashcoders] Line break in dynamic text imported from xml
Thanks Ktu
Yes, that sounds right. However, I'm not trying to enter the text as
html. When I've tried to alter the script to allow this, it's crashed.
I probably ought to go back and fix this properly, but I'm looking for
a way to put line breaks in non-html dynamic text. I'll keep digging
and let you know how I get on.

I'm working on a quiz using AS1 (I think) that reads questions and
answers from an xml file. (see below for the script).
I'd like to introduce line breaks into the feedback, how do I do this?
I've tried using \r but it just displays this as text.
Ideally I'd like to display the text as html but so far my efforts to
do this have broken the script - any pointers?
Here's the action script for the quiz. I hope it makes sense:
function QuizItem(question)
{
this.question=question;
this.answers=new Array();
this.feedbacks=new Array();
this.numOfAnswers=0;
this.correctAnswer=0;
this.getQuestion=function()
{
return this.question;
}
this.addAnswer=function(answer, isCorrectAnswer, feedback)
{
this.answers[this.numOfAnswers]=answer;
this.feedbacks[this.numOfAnswers]=feedback;
if (isCorrectAnswer)
this.correctAnswer=this.numOfAnswers;
this.numOfAnswers++;
}
this.getAnswer=function(answerNumberToGet)
{
return this.answers[answerNumberToGet];
}
this.getFeedback=function(answerNumberToGet)
{
return this.feedbacks[answerNumberToGet];
}
this.getCorrectAnswerNumber=function()
{
return this.correctAnswer;
}
this.checkAnswerNumber=function(userAnswerNumber)
{
if (userAnswerNumber==this.getCorrectAnswerNumber()) {
numOfQuestionsAnsweredCorrectly++;
} else {
numOfQuestionsAnsweredIncorrectly++;
}
feedback = _root[feedback+parseInt((userAnswerNumber+1))]
gotoAndPlay(Feedback);
}
}
function onQuizData(success)
{
var quizNode=this.firstChild;
var quizTitleNode=quizNode.firstChild;
title=quizTitleNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
var i=0;
// items follows title
var itemsNode=quizNode.childNodes[1];
while (itemsNode.childNodes[i])
{
var itemNode=itemsNode.childNodes[i];
// item consists of question and one or more answer
// question always comes before answers (node 0 of
item)
var questionNode=itemNode.childNodes[0];
quizItems[i]=new
QuizItem(questionNode.firstChild.nodeValue);
var a=1;
// answer follows question
var answerNode=itemNode.childNodes[a++];
while (answerNode)
{
//trace(answerNode);
var isCorrectAnswer=false;
if (answerNode.attributes.correct==y)
isCorrectAnswer=true;
//get answer
tempAnswer = answerNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
//go to next node
answerNode=itemNode.childNodes[a++];
//get feedback
tempFeedback = answerNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
//add answer and feedback to current answer/feedback
'pair'
quizItems[i].addAnswer(tempAnswer, isCorrectAnswer,
tempFeedback);
// goto the next answer
answerNode=itemNode.childNodes[a++];
}
i++;
}
gotoAndStop(Start);
}
var quizItems=new Array();
var myData=new XML();
myData.ignoreWhite=true;
myData.onLoad=onQuizData;
myData.load(google_quiz.xml);
stop();
And this is what the xml file looks like:

Hi; I have this code: big_container.removeChild(container_middle); big_container.removeChild(container_middle2); container_middle = new Sprite(); big_container.addChild(container_middle) It loops and is called in each iteration except the first. The problem is, when it runs, the image in the container momentarily disappears then reappears, which doesn't look good. How work around this?

[Flashcoders] tint a movieclip
Hi list... This is probably a bitwise question, which is why I'm posting. I have a grayscale movieclip and I want to give it a particular hue based on a hex value. I don't want it to be tint, where it approaches being a solid color, but rather like watercolors. Additionally, I know that the left side values of the Advanced color pallet does this, and the right side values are for tinting. I'm just not sure at the moment how to do that through code. Thanks if anyone knows! - Michael M. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] tint a movieclip
To apply in code the same transform you set at author time in the IDE: var colTransf:ColorTransform = mc.transform.colorTransform; colTransf.redMultiplier = -0.18; colTransf.greenMultiplier = -0.42; colTransf.blueMultiplier = 0.22; colTransf.alphaMultiplier = 0.26; mc.transform.colorTransform = colTransf; The left values in the panel are the multipliers (one for each channel). There's a difference: in code the values are expressed as normal value in the range 0-1 (whereas in the IDE it's represented as a percetage, 0 - 100). So the above code will have the same effect as setting the left values to -18%, -42%, 22% and 26%. If you want to change the values in the right of the panel through code, set the offsets instead (the properties redOffset, greenOffset, etc in the ColorTransform object). They are expressed in the same units both in code and the IDE. Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2010/5/19 Mendelsohn, Michael michael.mendels...@fmglobal.com Hi list...

Re: [Flashcoders] FDT4 or Flash Builder 4
can I addin to this: FlashDevelop 3.1.1 has a profiler now too, simple but yet effective. Also their debugger took off finally. The only thing I miss on FD is SVN integration. But in regard of setting-up-the-ultimate-flash-development-environment article which takes half a day to install I guess, I'm up and running in 5 mins on a new machine by downloading the SDK and FD.
