[Flashcoders] flickering buttons
Hi Gang, really stupid question. I have a movieclip that animates on. in it are several movieclips representing buttons.

I guess what I mean is after the containing clip is finished animating the clips within it are cycling through their rollover states Thanks On May 18, 2013, at 10:29 AM, Paul A. p...@ipauland.com wrote: On 18/05/2013 15:19, [p e r c e p t i c o n] wrote: Hi Gang, really stupid question.

Re: [Flashcoders] flickering buttons
Yes, code in the button class should stop it. I just wondered if the animation was creating individual instances and that was causing it to hinder the buttons is all.

[Flashcoders] more movieclip loader madness
Hi again! i'm using movieclip loader to download images. very simple stuff. i download an image and animate it across the screen. it has a listener and i use the delegate class to deal with the loadInit callback. the strangest thing is that loadClip continues to be called unless i delete the moviecliploader completely... any ideas why this is happening...who might be holding on to it? let me know if this makes sense or you need more to go on.. thanks percy -- . : .

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader Oddness
Thaks Guys, these suggestions are most helpful. in addition to what i wrote... i looked at the logs closer...and noticed that prior to the 304 status, my logs show repeated downloads of the same image with a status of 200??? the number of times it downloads it appears to be random..sometimes only twice sometimes as many as 10 times... at this point i can't tell if it's flash or the server or the hardware.. Thanks again.. percy On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 2:08 AM, Karl DeSaulniers k...@designdrumm.comwrote: Hi Percy, Sounds like you need to keep it from caching if only to test. Like Glen said in his tips, try the ? + new Date().getTime(); when calling the image. Flash is most likely caching all the images and if you are fetching a grandios number of them, well flash is going to be reading all those files every time until its cleared or garbaged. If your storing 100,000+ every time, then the build up to a player stall is inevitable. At least that sounds right to me.. :) I've used ImageLoader and set a while loop that only continued unless incremented once the previous was at a ready state. Went very smoothly. Another thing you can do if you WANT to cache the images is set a .httaccess in your image directory that sets an expiration on images that are cached. Or even a cookie. Then flash can't cache everything forever, but if a user goes back to the same search, their results will open quickly for a period of time. Then the images are collected by the garbage man sooner than later. This may help in performance areas whereas the no-cache method may be a little intensive or take a min as you will always be downloading new images. For Apache: http://www.askapache.com/**htaccess/apache-speed-**compression.htmlhttp://www.askapache.com/htaccess/apache-speed-compression.html For .httaccess http://www.bloghash.com/2006/**11/beginners-guide-to-** htaccess-file-with-examples/http://www.bloghash.com/2006/11/beginners-guide-to-htaccess-file-with-examples/ http://www.catswhocode.com/**blog/awesome-wordpress-hacks-** to-make-your-blogger-life-**easierhttp://www.catswhocode.com/blog/awesome-wordpress-hacks-to-make-your-blogger-life-easier (look at the bottom for .httaccess image caching) and then there is the option of loading per wither it has a status of 200 or not. HTH, Best, Karl On Oct 12, 2011, at 3:13 AM, Glen Pike wrote: Hi, We have had similar issues loading images this way - we cannot stream from our image server program so Flash loads the same image into 2 movie clips swapping them whilst the server saves to the same image. To solve some difficulties with refreshing, so we used a cache-killer method, e.g. var url:String = http://imageserver/image.jpg?**; + new Date().getTime(); We also had some problems loading one image when the first one had finished, so I used setTimeout inside the onLoadInit handler to delay calling of loading the next image. Our server also caused problems - apache could not read the image when the server was writing it, so the programmer wrote to a 2nd image, then renamed it to our desirable one, but this might not affect you. Hope some of these tricks may help.

Create a custom button (MovieClip+Class) that dispatches an event (e.g.

So instead of:

you'd then use:

someMC.addEventListener(release, Delegate.create(this,

Quick question...How can I pass vars if i'm using delegates for
handlers
I have it set up like so...
someMC.onRelease = Delegate.create(_level0, doSomething);
what i want to be able to do is know which instance of someMC actually
called it...
thanks

[Flashcoders] jpeg manipulation
Hello Experts, I'm loading an arbitray number of jpgs that are pretty hefty in size...roughly 650X400 or in other words between 15 and 40k. I'm wondering if there's a way i can make them smaller other than using jmagick or something similar before-hand...meaning before i load them into my swf...currently i'm scaling them after i load them, but i'd like to be able to do something more effecient... cheers and thanks p ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

I agree with most of what you said except for AS1 being a suitable introduction to OOP. I consider AS1's OOP model an abomination. You can write OOP in AS1 if you work really hard, and don't let any other programmers get their hands on it, but it's way, way too easy to break encapsulation. AS2's OOP implementation is light years ahead of AS1, and AS3, from what I've read, is even better. Plus, AS2's class approach is much more standard than the AS1 prototype approach.

Re: [Flashcoders] Intro to OOP using ActionScript
i guess it depends on where you begin...i think special attention has to be paid to as1's ability to add variables and function dynamically because it's at once very powerful and in the hands of someone looking to expand their knowledge of programming and programming languages very misleading because most languages don't make it that easy to do that sort of thing... but, it's still a bit easier to explain prototype after having explained how to use variables and functions, then how to attach them to objects like moviclips, than it is to explain the relationship of class/encapsulation/inheritence/polymorphism...ooops did i say polymorphism in relation to actionscript?...well ok let's say interface... my point is that these are higher level concepts that are much easier to grasp if you have the fundamentals of vars/functions/scope i came from c++ as well ...the concept of adding vars and functions dynamically was very alien,yet liberating...and protoype just confused me because i can be thick when i'm rushing to get a project done, but everyone i know who came over from lingo has had a very hard time with actionscript, oddly, i couldn't learn lingo...i tried several times and never quite caught on... all in all i too am biased towards the class model, but when people ask me if they should learn c or c++ first i always say learn c first... regards p On 8/20/07, Kerry Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [p e r c e p t i c o n] wrote: i understand your point, but i found that when teach students how to use an object and what's contained in an object first, then the more conceptual ideas come easier Ok, I'll buy that. Not to be argumentative--just curious--how do you find the AS1 prototype model easier to understand than the class/object model?

[Flashcoders] fms application class
Hi folks,
i know htis isn't the fms list, but can anyone tell how to define a method
in the asc file... for example
i tried to define a method like this
application.helloServer = function()
{
trace(hello from server);
}
but it isn't recognized as a method...
i'm trying to not have to define it on the client side as a member of the
NetConnection object...

Re: [Flashcoders] fms application class
hey Andy,
thanks, yes this helps alot...i was confused about the client having the
definition and conceptually i still don't get what's remote about it...the
clientObj is an instance of the connection right? and that's instantiated
on the client-side right?...anyway as long as it works i'm not going to
quibble too much :)

On 8/8/07, Andy Herrman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
The only way for a client to call a method is for that method to exist
on the Client's object. That's just the way the Flash RPC stuff
works. You can either add it to the Client prototype (which I don't
like) or add it to the client object after they connect (my preferred
way).
For instance:
application.onConnect = function(oClient, oParams) {
this.acceptConnection(oClient);
oClient.helloServer = function() {
trace(Hello Server);
};
}
Or, you can get fancy and do some delegate-style work so that your
actual function is defined on application (or some other object):
application.helloServer = function() {
trace(Hello Server);
}
application.onConnect = function(oClient, oParams) {
this.acceptConnection(oClient);
oClient.oScope = this;
oClient.helloServer = function() {
this.oScope.helloServer.apply(this.oScope, arguments); };
}
The reason you're getting an error about the function not existing is
that it doesn't. When the client makes a call the server looks for a
function of the given name on the client's object. If it doesn't
exist you get an error.
I hope that helps!

This seems to be working fine for me, unless I'm missing something... I
copied your code into its own layer on frame one. I then dropped the
ScrollPane component into my library. Created a new MovieClip, exported
it for ActionScript and gave it an identifier of mcEventText.
When I run the swf, it creates the scrollpane, adds the mcEventText
MovieClip and resizes its self to the desired dimensions. If the
mcEventText clip is larger than 292x180 the pane scrolls correctly. I
added a TextArea component and a TextInput component to the mcEventText
clip and it still seems to work fine...
The TextArea will have *its own* scroll bars within mcEventText, and
won't run off the pScrollPane scroller - so you would have nested
scrollpanels. Are you trying to get the scrollbars of the textfield to
use the ones from psScrollPane?

Oh! s**t I am! I mean honestly, why do I keep reading things about Adobe products being so buggy. Photoshop and Adobe products are some of the least buggy software products around. Consider yourself lucky. I'm scared! I hope they don't screw it with the Flash Player. That'd be quite harmful for us. I think. I don't see people updating Flash Player if it's 30MB or annoying in some other way. That won't happen. There's a very explicit development process when adding features or adjusting the Flash Player. The team has very detailed requirements for coding and there are, I imagine, impact analyses for every addition to the Player. Perhaps you guys had this discussion some time ago. Do you have any URLs I can read about this, so I can find out if it is just me paranoid? Paranoid. Who cares if the installer is big? Honestly. Get a bigger hard drive. 400 MB for an installer is a drop in the bucket.

Hi, I have a timer that someone of the flashcoder list gave me, it

ok, but what if I've clicked on the buttom, the timer is still in

this is the code for the timer.

remove the event if the movieClip Logo has been clicked, or aq way
to put a code into the buttom some like on(releases){

so far the two doesn't work for launched as an event from the

Re: [Flashcoders] Sending binary data to server - NO HEADERS
carlos, what language is the other script (not php) written...i had a similar problem using java...the issue is that there are two headers being sent...one without content to make sure the addres is valid and a second one after with the data..so you need to set up a condition that doesn't do anything when there is no content and handle the one with the content data in it hope this helps On 3/5/07, Carlos Saenz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to send binary data to a server side script which takes a variable called file, and saves it as a binary file. so if I have a variable in my flash movie myfile, with a value of asdf, and I send that to the server, it will make a file on the filesystem called myfile, and the contents of it will be asdf Now, the trick is to send the script an image or video file. I have tried the following ways: 1) Using FileReference class (Flash 8) --- This works with php and move_uploaded_file. --- This does NOT work the server side script mentioned above. It adds headers to the file. Same headers found here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/ wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=2225.html Namely: Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x --AaB03x Content-Disposition: form-data; name=Filedata; filename=example.jpg Content-Type: application/octet-stream ... contents of example.jpg ... --AaB03x-- PHP can handle this, the other script cannot. Unfortunately we are stuck with the other script. So I looked at different ways to send binary data to the server, without using FileReference. 2) Flex Builder 2. Here we have some new classes. Such as URLRequest and URLLoader, where you can use URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY. This transferred the file to the server side script we are stuck with perfectly. No errors or problems. Unfortunately they want a Flash Player 8 solution. 3) Some examples on the web where people have taken a BitmapData object in Flash 8 and programmatically convert a bitmap into an array of string data which represents pixel data, which is converted on the server to an image. -- Is this method possible with LoadVars to send a binary stream of data to a script via POST, which will make it think it's the same as a file upload??? Well these are my three options 1) FileReference -- Flash 8 -- Is there a way to eliminate the headers its sending by default? 2) Flex Builder 2 - URLLoader class -- Any way to use this in Flash Player 8? (Doesn't seem possible) 3) Manually encode binary data into a variable and pass it through loadVars making the server think it's a file upload. Possible??? OR 4) Any other possibility I may have overlooked?

Re: [Flashcoders] actionscript/flash performance
Hi Michael,
one thing that stands out right away is the use of prototype...if i'm not
mistaken, this will make these variables available to all movie clips...even
ones that don't use the markers you're speaking of...the other thing is that
loading of xml data is asynchronous, so you just burning cycles by looping
this way...i would use set interval to manage the removal of the clips
...it's far more efficient...
just my .02
On 3/27/07, Michael King [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hey all,
I finally have a question to ask!
I'm working on a project that, in simplest terms, is an event visualizer.
It takes event data coming in from an XMLSocket (or a standard PHP script
pulling from a database for replays), creates an empty movie clip,
stores it in a simple object/array combination to aide in timestamping,
then it uses removeMovieClip() to discard the clip when it's a minute or
so old.
Warning, I'm a complete noob when it comes to ActionScript, I have a
little bit of Javascript experience, and a good amount of PERL and Python,
so I can handle criticisms, and hopefully they can be explained in a
language I understand. :)
I have three keyframes, 1, 2 and 20, with 20 being the loop back to give
me a nearly one second tick mark, when things are not overloaded.
At 1, I instantiate an Array (_root.lines), import WDDX, and create a
custom function on the MovieClip prototype for some initial markers, along
with a few longitude/latitude-to-map-coordinates functions, and a function
for drawing curved vectors. I initialize some starting points for some
global counters on _root here, as well. Lastly, there's a map of the
globe for the scene background, and the custom function marks three
locations on the map.
At 2, I populate the initial location marks at level 1, calculate the
current date/time by instantiating Date(), and store the results on _root
for later retrieval (we'll call it _root.ratio_start). I then pull in the
data stream, currently I limit it to 2500 lines (events, really, it can be
a little more than 500 characters in XML per event). I calculate the
start point (one of the three marks) based on the data provided, then use
the latitude and longitude calculate an end point. Here's the part I'm
not sure is the most efficient:
// Increment the counter to give us a pseudo-unique number.
_root.counter++;
// make a timestamp
date_now = new Date();
// make an empty movie clip with a unique, but dynamic, name
pen = createEmptyMovieClip(vector_ + root.counter + _mc,
root.counter+2);
// Set the line style
pen.lineStyle(2,0x00CC00);
// Store it in a simple object for later retrieval and timestamp
comparison
container = {pen: pen, timestamp: date_now);
// Pus it into the lines array.
_root.lines.push(container);
// Draw the vector
curvePoint(pen, x, y, x, y);
From there, it just moves along with no more code until I get to frame
20:
// make a timestamp
date_now = new Date();
// Get the benchmark up until this point
_root.ratio_end = date_now;
// Calculate the ratio between the time it actually took, and one second,
for throttling purposes
_root.ratio = 1000 / (_root.ratio_end.getTime() -
_root.ratio_start.getTime());
// _root.millisecondsToMinute = 1000 * 60, get the fraction (multiple) of
1 minute.
_root.timeLimit = _root.millisecondsToMinute * _root.ratio;
temp_count = 0;
for (i = 0; i _root.lines.length; i++) {
// Calculate the difference between the current time, and the time
this line was turned into a clip.
timeDiff = date_now.getTime() -
_root.lines[i].timestamp.getTime();
if (timeDiff _root.timeLimit) {
// Keep track of how many we remove for debugging
purposes.
temp_count++;
// Remove the movie clip the only way I know how.
_root.lines[i].pen.removeMovieClip();
// remove this entry from the array.
_root.lines.splice(i,1);
}
}
// Occasionally reset the unique counter
if (_root.counter = 32000) {
_root.counter = 0;
}
// Loop back to frame 2, pull more data, etc.
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
Now, on to my actual question/comment. I've noticed that if the rate of
incoming data goes above about 2200, it fails to keep up with the
throttling, and will start to bog down. It will remove more than it's
bringing in, and eventually stablize to about a 3400 total clips in the
array at the end of each loop. However, this takes updates down to once
every 11 seconds or so, defeating the point of a once-per-second refresh
rate. If I can't get this to work more efficiently in flash, I'll likely
have to switch to another platform and language. :/
Is there something I could do that would be more efficient? I need to be
able to remove the vectors when they're about a minute old, but I couldn't
seem to find any other way than to store the clip and date object on
another, simple object, and store that in an array. A stack of sorts. I'd
rather have a way of just using a single
Re: [Flashcoders] actionscript/flash performance
if you use date in this context MovieClip.prototype.age = new Date(); and you want incremental values, you should pass in some parameters like hour, minutes, seconds and milliseconds...check documentation on this... As to the XML data being asynchronous, so you mean I don't actually have to use gotoAndPlay()? I can just start off with a stop(); and set up the event code? that's correct...you certainly want to set up event handlers... On 3/27/07, Michael King [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Thanks for the response. So by using prototype, I could set the date on it, and at the very least get rid of the simple object I'm creating for the array, and just go directly to the array? Something like: MovieClip.prototype.age = new Date(); Or is there something else I need to do to make sure it has an increasing date with each loop? As to the XML data being asynchronous, so you mean I don't actually have to use gotoAndPlay()? I can just start off with a stop(); and set up the event code? I did it the way it is now because I need to use the code with two possible ways - an XML packet from a socket, or an XML request from a PHP script hitting a MySQL backend (this would facilitate replaying events, whereas the socket would be the live-events-as-they-happen version). Again, thanks for the response, I'm hoping I can keep this in Flash, as it presents a wonderful way to have multiple clients viewing the same data, with a much smaller effect on the server than other methods -- I also don't know C/C++ very well. :) Thanks, Michael King CSIRT - Developer Security Incident Response Group Humana Inc.
