Just looked it up real quick:
The IDE player dll is located in:

and is called: authplay.dll
If you look at the file's properties you'll notice it says: Adobe Flash

Doing a trace inside the IDE gives: WIN 10,2,153,2

Is there any way to fix this?
Have you installed the FP11 debug player?
If not, download and install it!
If I remember correctly, installing FP11 won't change a thing.
The Flash IDE uses a .dll (on windows) for preview/testing inside the
IDE.
The only way to update that player dll is to actually wait for Adobe
to release an updated version.
I haven't used Flash in a long time, so things may have changed, but
that's how it used to be.

RE: [Flashcoders] array problem,loop.plot
Nasim,
As you already know, pre-calculating all those data points is too much work for
Flash, and it's also way more points than any monitor can show at one time.
Why don't you try calculating only the points you need, only when you need
them? Tell your boss that 'having an array of points' from -1 to 1 is
the wrong solution.
A solution that will work in Flash is to start by deciding how many points you
can reasonably plot (for example 1000), then define the 'zoom' of your graph by
specifying the START and END values, and then plot ONLY 1000 POINTS between
your start and end values.
Zooming in and out just means changing the START and END values. The onscreen
display will remain the same size, but the shape of the plotted line will
change as you zoom in and out.
Also, if you can, you should buy Keith Peter's excellent book ActionScript 3
Animation - Making Things Move. It deals specifically with the issues you're
experiencing.

Sure. I knew there would be bugs in my code :-)
Actually, you have so many points, you probably don't need to use
curveTo(). lineTo() would probably work for you, and it just takes two
parameters.
Here's a class I wrote that draws something. It's probably not what
you want, but it works, at least. You can take it from here. (I
created this class in a Flex AS3 project--that's why I defined the
stage size in line 6. If you do it in Flash, you won't need that--just
set the stage size to what you want).

Gerry and Henrik have the right answer. Your computer monitor isn't
capable of displaying 20 million points, and Flash will hang, as you
have found out.
This is untested e-mail AS3, but I would do it something like this:
var pointX:Vector.Number; //vectors are much faster than arrays

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Loader Max Question
Hi Marco,
I've always found it much easier to let the Gaia framework manage my
loading by adding items (like SWFs, images, mp3, flv etc.) as assets to
the Gaia page. It's easier because I don't have to write code to solve
the kind of problem you're asking about...
The Gaia documentation is pretty thorough about how you can use the
assets... In the case of your SWFs it looks like you'd need to create
some buttons onstage (like a menu screen) and give them each a 'click'
event handler to make the loaded SWF visible (and to hide any other
loaded SWFs that are currently visible).
Here's the docco on using assets:
http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/wiki/index.php?title=Assets#How_To_Use
_Assets
Probably the most useful and important thing to know is that once your
SWF assets are loaded, they're positioned at 0,0 and their 'visible'

'visible' property to true.
And assuming that 'captions' means a single text title for each asset,
you can place this info in an attribute of the asset node in Gaia, like
this:
asset id=mySWF src=something.swf caption=Insert Caption/
...and then access this XML via E4X by using the 'node' property of the
asset, like this:
assets.mySWF.node.@caption
...and use that to populate a textfield. Keeping the caption in the XML
means you can easily change the SWF as well as the caption without
needing to recompile anything later.
Hope that helps,

RE: [Flashcoders] Loader Max Question
Hi Marco,
I've always found it much easier to let the Gaia framework manage my
loading by adding items (like SWFs, images, mp3, flv etc.) as assets to
the Gaia page. It's easier because I don't have to write code to solve
the kind of problem you're asking about...
The Gaia documentation is pretty thorough about how you can use the
assets... In the case of your SWFs it looks like you'd need to create
some buttons onstage (like a menu screen) and give them each a 'click'
event handler to make the loaded SWF visible (and to hide any other
loaded SWFs that are currently visible).
Here's the docco on using assets:
http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/wiki/index.php?title=Assets#How_To_Use
_Assets
Probably the most useful and important thing to know is that once your
SWF assets are loaded, they're positioned at 0,0 and their 'visible'
property is set to false. To display them, all you need to do is set the
'visible' property to true.
And assuming that 'captions' means a single text title for each asset,
you can place this info in an attribute of the asset node in Gaia, like
this:
asset id=mySWF src=something.swf caption=Insert Caption/
...and then access this XML via E4X by using the 'node' property of the
asset, like this:
assets.mySWF.node.@caption
...and use that to populate a textfield. Keeping the caption in the XML
means you can easily change the SWF as well as the caption without
needing to recompile anything later.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Loader Max Question
Hi all
I am using Loadermax to load an array of swf files into a Gaia project
file,
this all works fine but I would like to know how I would go about
creating a
link for each swf file and adding other information externally such as
captions? Here is my code
//create an array of image file names
var urls:Array =
[brakes.swf,
hp_xmas.swf,
drambuie.swf,
ftfe.swf,
hillbillyAnim.swf
];
//create the LoaderMax
queue
into which we'll put the ImageLoaders
_queue = new
LoaderMax({name:childQueue, requireWithRoot:this.root,
maxConnections:1,
onChildComplete:_childCompleteHandler});
//loop through the file
names, create an SWFLoader and place it on the stage using special
properties like x, y, width, height, etc. The images will also be scaled
to
fit within the width/height defined.
for (var i:int = 0; i
urls.length; i++) {
_queue.append( new SWFLoader(urls[i], {
container:this,
x:(i % 4) * 240,
y:int(i / 4) * 180 + 60,
width:220,
height:160,
bgColor:0x141414}) );
}
//prepend all of the
urls in
the LoaderMax instance with assets/swf
_queue.prependURLs(assets/swf/);
//start loading
_queue.load();
}
// EVENT HANDLERS
function
_childCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
TweenMax.to(event.target,
0.5, {delay:1, ease:Circ.easeInOut});
trace(loaded +
event.target);
}

RE: [Flashcoders] FDT, version control and project files
I work with a team of 3 developers and 4 designers. The developers all use the FDT Eclipse plugin version, and we use Subclipse to manage our Subversion repos. We never commit our project files (mainly to stop noobs from accidentally changing project settings unintentionally) and all our compilation and deployment is done from ANT scripts. The designers usually install Tortoise SVN client and (usually after a few mistakes) are competent enough to leave on their own.

I'm going to assume that you are all still alive and that not everyone has quit coding with actionscript and started using HTML5 for your website banner builds just yet... Anyway, I have a question about FDT and version control: What are people doing regarding working with teams of developers and using SVN in FDT? The new version of FDT has now removed its out of the box for subversive, which, although it has (many many) faults, is pretty much the best of a bad bunch when it comes to IDE integrated SVN. Anyway, I was wondering whether people have any thoughts on the (related) issue of working in teams and controlling your projects. Do you ignore the project files completely and let each developer do what he or she likes with them? Do you agree on a standard configuration? Or do you add your project files to svn and check out an FDT project via the import... project from SVN route? This third approach is what I usually do, and it's great for teams of developers about 99% of the time. However, that 1% of times when you have a version control problem, it's REALLY a problem. Your entire team grinds to a halt, you can't commit, everything goes basically pear shaped. Anyway, I was wondering is anyone has come up with a better solution than just using a seperate SVN client and manually managing all their files. Subversive has some very useful features and it's really nice once you get used to it. And I'm used to it. I guess I'm just set in my ways.

[Flashcoders] IE not releasing memory after unloading Flash object
Hi list, I'm using SWFObject 2.2 (dynamic embed) to display my Flash content. In IE7 on WinXP the Windows Task Manager shows that the 'iexplore' process isn't releasing memory after the window containing my Flash is closed. I've tried explicitly calling SWFObject's 'cleanupSWFs' and 'removeSWF' methods in the 'onbeforeunload' event of my HTML page, but with no change in the result. Is it correct to assume that (regardless of Flash memory management and garbage collection issues) closing the browser window should remove the Flash Player from the IE DOM and release the memory it was using?

Yeah, the SWF is definitely not caching... But I've also found something that does seem to work... instead of calling window.close(), calling window.location.refresh() clears the previously consumed memory. It's only a hack at the moment, but it seems repeatable, so if needs be I can work this into a solution.

RE: [Flashcoders] Advice on calling subscriber script on anotherserver
No problem Paul, As a rough guide, I'm suggesting that the form data submission is handled by a javascript function in your containing HTML page. Your SWF would then use the ExternalInterface class to call that function directly (and pass arguments if you need to), rather than the SWF sending the form data itself. That way the SWF never needs to look outside its domain, and the data can still be sent.

I've made a TextArea-style component that connects to external text (HTML CDATA tags in XML), external CSS, and external fonts (load a SWF, register the contained fonts). It displays the loaded, styled text in the IDE and at runtime, but unless I explicitly embed the fonts in the component LivePreview FLA library I don't get good anti-aliasing in the IDE. I'd prefer not to do this because I'd need to publish a separate LivePreview SWF for every different project. Has anyone here dynamically loaded external fonts into an AS3 component LivePreview?

[Flashcoders] Transition from AS2 to AS3... with minimum pain
FWIW, I made the transition to AS3 about a year ago (eLearning lags a little behind the rest of the commercial world). Here's what made my journey easy... 1) Use the GAIA framework as a starting point for all my projects. 2) Watched Colin Moock's 'Lost Actionscript Weekend' DVDs 3) Purchased 'Essential Actionscript 3' 4) No practice runs, just started building projects with the new tools GAIA reduced the amount of 'housekeeping programming' significantly. No need to write loaders, preloaders, asset management, plus excellent site creation utility (scaffolding) and a solid user community. The 'Lost Actionscript Weekend' videos mirror the Essential Actionscript 3' book structure. I found the book too heavy to sit through, but the videos brought it to life for me (and made the book more useful as a 'more information' tool). Just biting the bullet and using these tools immediately on commercial work was MUCH less headache than I'd anticipated. The problems I needed to solve were about the work at hand, and not about chasing down housekeeping bugs. Next on the horizon is RobotLegs - it seems to be gaining traction, and appears to play nice with GAIA. Anyone else shared this path? Or have an alternative to offer?

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: Pop up window locally
Don't call the 'window.open' method from Flash, write a function in the
HTML page and call that function from Flash.
Here's an example of the function on the HTML page:
loadPopup = function(pageName, width, height) {
var newPopupWindow;
var left = screen.width/4;
var top= screen.height/4;
var props =
width=+width+,height=+height+,top=+top+,left=+left+,resizable=n
o,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no;
newPopupWindow = window.open(pageName, content1,
props);

...and from AS3 you would call:
ExternalInterface.call(loadPopup(' + myURLStringHere + ', 740,

Got ASV creating JSFL rebuild script for recreating a FLA. For antialias for readability fields it creates JSFL code that creates the textfield from scratch. For antailias for animation textfields it creates a new symbol-SWF of the textfield graphic and ads that as a symbol directly into the library; Just to complement Stanley's idea that it might not be in the power of JSFL otherwise ASV would just implement that 100% scriptwise, loosing the additional imported SWF's.

You could use a 'try/catch' block...

How do you test (without warnings and errors) if a
var vars:URLVariables
contains something on an Event.COMPLETE?
For example if there is a vars.myname set?
(I.e. otherwise vars.myname would be undefined - according to
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/package.html#undefined )
Is the following correct:
if (vars.myname != undefined)
Can you compare undefined to undefined?
Thank you

Hi Matt, I haven't experienced your problem, but (if it persists) then I'd recommend making use of JSFL to eliminate the time wasted by manually re-setting the textfields. This thread shows a couple of relevant examples, and I've attached a couple of short JSFL script I wrote to do a similar replacement. I'm cc-ing your personal address too (it'll catch the attached versions of the JSFL scripts). To use JSFL you'll need to drop the scripts into: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME_HERE\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Commands and they'll appear in your Flash 'Commands' menu. It should reduce your rework time to a few seconds. Hope that helps...

Hello, this issue is killing me. I had a swf that loaded an xml file
then loaded images from the xml file and then killed the display list,
xml, images etc... then restarted based on a timer. Every time it
reloads however, I watch firefox take away memory consistently and when
I refresh that page memory use drops back to normal. So, I said screw
this, I'm going to create an empty swf and load the swf with all the
magic in it and add it to the empty swf. I figured if I add the swf to
the main stage and kill that one reference to the swf when I was done
with it, I should have fixed my problem. Here's my code. Can someone
please tell me what is going on?
stop();
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
function startLoad()
{
var mRequest:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(hasch_flash/currently_watched_videos.swf);
//var mRequest:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(currently_watched_videos.swf);
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
onCompleteHandler, false, 0, true);
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
onProgressHandler, false, 0, true);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
}
function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event)
{

RE: [Flashcoders] FLV export - size(w, h) vs data rate
Depending on how important your 'older machine' users are then you might also consider not using the On2 codec. It does a great job, but is very CPU intensive and often grinds on older/slower machines. The trade-off is quality - Sorenson encoded video will play back much faster on the older machines, but the visual quality is lower than On2.

As far as a single big file like you have, i would look into the Akamai settings and see if you could increase the buffer a bit so it loads in more of the video before it plays. And also make sure the site/video player you have is optimized and supports streaming video, especially of a video size like that. Hope that helps.

I would like to enable the range of computers it works on by optimizing the video. which one of the following would work better: 1. shrink the data rate from like 850kbps to like 550kbps 2.export the video at like 800x400 and then stretch it up. Obviously I could just try this, but I'm wondering what the logic behind it is and if there are any best practices.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash security issue
You could also use a standalone webserver - I've used 'Server2Go CD-ROM Webserver' before, it's quite customisable, and also gets me past all those annoying security issues. I like it as a solution because I don't need to do an extra version (as an .exe) of my projects, and I don't need to force users to change settings they wouldn't normally need to know about, and my ExternalInterface interactions will still function as expected.

You can see it at this URL using Firefox: http://mappingmainstreet.org/development/0819/index05_jms.html The proper user experience is to be able to do the following: - Click on any of the Features buttons (e.g. Chattanooga, TN) and then load the Media Player (displaying photographs from Ronceverte, WV) and also load the Route Navigator (displaying visualization of Current Route: Building). In this state, the Paths tab should be highlighted (darker than the Map and Features tab) - From this state, the user should be able to: 1) Switch to the Map tab and view a map visualization (the Media Player does not change with this action). 2) Search for any city name. If the city searched has photos (e.g. San Francisco CA) then the the Media Player will display photos from that place while a Google Map loads with that location. If the city does not have photos, it will display a Street View or aerial photograph in the middle player field. 3) Search for a state (e.g. Caliifornia). This will load photos from the state in the Media Player and display the Paths navigation for that state. HOWEVER...Once you have loaded the Media Player and Route Navigator, it is not possible to switch to the Map Tab or Search. I receive this error in my Flash Tracer: *** Security Sandbox Violation *** SecurityDomain ' http://mappingmainstreet.org/development/0819/index05_jms.html' tried to access incompatible context I believe this indicates an error in the interaction between the Flash and the JavaScript.
