I'm pretty good in AS2, but with AS3, I'm not getting a simple script

HelloWorld class (based on an example in the book) to show a TextField:
//MyPackage.as
package MyPackage
{
//do I actually need this one?:
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
public class HelloWorld extends Sprite
{
public function HelloWorld()
{
var message_txt:TextField = new TextField();
message_txt.text = Hello World;
addChild(message_txt); //does not show!
trace(constructor runs)//traces fine
}
}
}
Then in the .fla, I put:
import MyPackage.*
var hw:HelloWorld = new HelloWorld();
The constructor traces fine in the output window, but the TextField does
not show. What have I done wrong? My Export settings in F9 As3 preview
are for AS 3.0 and FP9. In later scripts, I tried moving the textfield,
changing the color, changing the stage color to be sure it wasn't
matching the textfield and this invisible, etc...(but it should show as
black Times New Roman text by default anyway...)
Thanks,
Oh, and as a side note, I use FlashDevelop 2.0.1 and have my syntax set
to AS3, but have notices code hinting doesn't always work or is
sometimes incomplete - has anyone else noticed that? Maybe I just need
to update it.

If you really want to use flash and wordpress you need to look at ways of getting the wordpress php files to talk to flash - you can't use flash instead of the wordpress php files, you'd need both. You might want to have look at writing a plug-in for wordpress (wp plug-ins are also written in php btw). The alternative is to hack wordpress, but you'll never be able upgrade when a new version of wordpress comes out and, again, other plugins will be a problem. If you go the hacky way, the php files in the admin folder or wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php are probably as good a place as any to start with. In theory, you could write a plug-in (in php and actionscript) which enables you to create a Flash admin layer over the top of the php application. It would be quite a big job and very hard to make extensible for other plug-ins (most require html forms and JavaScript on the client). You'd probably be better of by just replacing a small bit of the admin interface - pick the bit that annoys you most. Try a Google search for wordpress admin hooks or wordpress plugin api - it's not very well documented but you might find something useful.

Re: [Flashcoders] flash.media.Camera.setMode Freeze SWF
Hi Luciano, It sets the pixel width, pixel height and framerate for the camera it's called on. ie. What the data is grabbed at. How you choose to preset it is something else. For example: var cam:Camera = Camera.get(); cam.setMode(320, 240, 20); But it's a bit more complicated than that because the camera generally has preset modes so Flash attempts to find the one closest to your request, giving preference to the framerate. Does it freeze your machine? What are your specs?

Re: [Flashcoders] Google Adsense in Flash ...
Hi Geoff, Have you heard anything that would invalidate your article on Flash SEO? http://blog.deconcept.com/2006/03/ Great article! SWFObject's the duck's nuts, and you'd have to be a hell of a great guy yourself by the way. But I keep wondering when it's going to fall through, Google states pretty clearly that presenting different content to the viewer and the bot will put your site in the sin bin. Anyway, if your approach still works--and it appears to with my sites--then slangeberg's suggestion to float the Adsense stuff in front of flash would work too. No need to parse the content into Flash, just open a space in your layout for it to sit in front. Super easy when you have giants like SWFObject and the JavaScriptFlashGateway beneath you.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Best way to learn OO Analysis and Design with ActionScript
also, I came to Flash recently (as in about 6 weeks ago) and I found it very useful to get all the information in one place, i.e. does AS2 have abstract interfaces?, is there try...catch construct for unit testing with assertions?, are classnames treated as types, can you override the constructor of a superclass in the subclass? This book collects this information together in the context of OO principles, rather than in some alphabetical AS2 dictionary. Hi James, I was not trying to hose your review, but if you're not a hobbyist then there are better books out there. I've read a lot of flash books over the years, the only ones that really stuck with me where green and white with an animal on the front. ie. O'Reilly. The only exception was Robert Penner's first book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0072223561/sr=8-1/qid=1156120988/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-4690969-4407040?ie=UTF8 I battled furiously to get my head around Object-Oriented Programming with Actionscript http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735711836/sr=8-2/qid=1156121055/ref=sr_1_2/103-4690969-4407040?ie=UTF8 only to find that looking back a lot of the explanations largely added to my confusion. IMHO your recommendation wasn't hard to follow but it did lack depth. The Head First books are excellent. The Java book is not a waste of time either. If you're trying to get your head around OOP it helps enormously to get the information first hand and the best references will always give Java and/or C++ examples.

Re: [Flashcoders] New Flash based website
Hi Aaron, There is an issue that occurs when users with smaller monitors (13 macbooks) accessing 100% flash content. Say you do not want to scale the content down to 13. Agreed. I overcame this within Flash. It's just a mater of wrapping Stage in a class that has min values set. In my applications the UI elements ask the custom Canvas class how big the stage is and place themselves accordingly. You also do not want to write a flash scroller, because the browser has excellent support and performance for this, and Flash might have a harder time. The site you posted looks very professional but there is not window scroller. I was interested in how this is done: http://amnesia.com.au/site/index.html Starts normally, then when the content panel gets larger than the viewable area the browser scroll bars appear.

RE: [Flashcoders] Copy Paste into Firefox
Of the 22 people that took the Quiz http://dozo.jp/paste_test?result=true 6 reported paste problems. ie. 1/3. I guess I have to watch for key code: 17,86,86,17 then offer an alternate input method for these people. HTML floating in front of Flash, wmode=opaque, Javascript bridge. Yuck! Thanks for the feedback.

RE: [Flashcoders] Copy Paste into Firefox
Hi Jim, All, No worries, If it works in one version and not in another - it's up to you/theclient/company to decide which browsers you support. I'm the client, the end users are my clients, and I say not being able to copy and paste into Firefox bites!! This is obviously very important to my company and others considering this is an important part of many forms-based flash applications. Agreed 100%. Ajax starts looking a lot more attractive when this kind of thing comes up. I've posted a SWF to collect input here: http://dozo.jp/paste_test.php The source is here: http://dozo.jp/PasteTest.zip Thanks Tony ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
[Flashcoders] Does your next RIA work in Firefox?
Hi, Sorry for starting a new thread on this but it seems important. Rich Internet Application development review 1) Get information for the punters 2) Do something sexy with it in Flash It's not all pushing buttons and typing. There's the clipboard... If your not building something to get data from the users clipboard now your next project might, and the bad news appears to be that Firefox is not coming to the party. I've noticed that Ctrl-v, pasting from the clipboard to flash, doesn't work in all versions of Firefox. In fact nothing related to the clipboard does. A similar thread from 2001: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2001-November/016166.html ...didn't post an answer. Please visit this URL: http://dozo.jp/paste_test.php Then try to paste something in on Firefox and and register how it went. The test results are available at: http://dozo.jp/paste_test.php?result=true I've managed to figure out that pressing Ctrl and V _really_ fast sometimes works. In that case I get the following output: UP - Code: 17Key: UP - Code: 86Key: v DOWN - Code: 86Key: v DOWN - Code: 17Key: As opposed to: UP - Code: 86Key: v UP - Code: 17Key: DOWN - Code: 86Key: v DOWN - Code: 17Key: Which is the key sequence flash reads when the operation fails. IE reads the keys in this order: DOWN - Code: 17Key: UP - Code: 86Key: v UP - Code: 17Key: Hacking something to get the info from Javascript doesn't seem like a practical option, Firefox won't read the clipboard by default: http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html Any input appreciated. Thanks for reading this far!

Re: [Flashcoders] amf-php, AS2, mysql, and multilanguage website
Hi all, can someone put a step by step guide about what are the correct steps to have a front(in flash) that connects to a MySql with AMFPHP Lots of good information at: http://www.sephiroth.it http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/ http://amfphp.org Flash player uses UTF-8 so you shouldn't have character issues. One gotcha, if you're storing UTF-8 strings in MySQL you will want to use 4+, and you'll need to call the following before running select where queries from your service. mysql_query(SET NAMES 'utf8'); Tony ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
