Re: [Flashcoders] pointers, references and just straight up values
That's correct... AFAIK only primitive types (Strings, Boolean, Numbers, uints and ints) are passed as values. All other types are passed as references. -- Eduardo Omine http://blog.omine.net/ http://www.omine.net/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] AS statement this[testStudent + i] in JAVA ?
From what I understand you have a 2D String array and want to use the
values in this array to initialize new instances of the Student class.
The simplest is an Student array:
int len = myStudnts.length;
Student[] testStudents = new Student[len];
for(int i=0; ilen; i++)
{
// change Student constructor to accept a String array as parameter
testStudents[i] = new Student(myStudents[i]);
}
Access individual Student instances later using array indexes:
testStudents[2].goToSchool();

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: masking w/o using bitmapCaching = true?
In this case cacheAsBitmap is processor-heavy because for Flash Player it doesn't make sense to cache something that is constantly changing. BlendMode.ERASE can be processor-heavy too, but it should perform better than your current setup. -- Eduardo Omine http://blog.omine.net/ http://www.omine.net/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Re: masking w/o using bitmapCaching = true?
You should try BlendMode.ERASE. Draw a gradient with alpha=0 at center, and alpha=1 at the edges. Place it right on top of your menu and set its blendMode to ERASE. The sprite containing the menu and the mask must have blendMode set to LAYER (or any other blendMode with a similar working). maskGradient.blendMode = BlendMode.ERASE; container.blendMode = BlendMode.LAYER; -- Eduardo Omine http://blog.omine.net/ http://www.omine.net/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Access MainTimeline reference from within a component
I understand that Flash prepends the filename to MainTimeline as a convenience because there's no DocumentClass.

Re: [Flashcoders] Access MainTimeline reference from within a component
I think the question is: what do you need the FLA filename for? Relying on filename seems very hack-ish and unreliable -- it's common to have files renamed during the development process and for testing purposes. -- Eduardo Omine http://blog.omine.net/ http://www.omine.net/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] load many XML files problem
Who's calling PreloadXML and how (show some code)? I don't know why you need to load 90 files, but it sure sounds like a better way could be worked out. You could concatenate all files with a server-side script and load a single XML file, for example. -- Eduardo Omine http://blog.omine.net/ http://www.omine.net/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] json flash 8/9
With AS2 I'd recommend using Flash Remoting with AMF (binary format). AMFPHP is the most well-known AMF solution, but there are AMF solutions for Python and Java too (and probably other server technologies). http://www.amfphp.org/ http://pyamf.org/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/openamf/ And yes, you need an AS2 library to parse JSONs too. http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2006/05/cinqetdemijson-a-better-json-parser-for-as2-suited-for-config-files/ -- Eduardo Omine http://blog.omine.net/ http://www.omine.net/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] hi All
Martin, you can access library assets from loaded SWFs and create multiple instances of those assets. It's not exactly the same thing, but still *very* useful. var Asset:Class = Class(loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(assetLinkageName)); var assetInstance:MovieClip = new Asset(); // type your instances accordingly * * * Read more at: http://www.scottgmorgan.com/blog/index.php/2007/06/18/runtime-font-embedding-in-as3-there-is-no-need-to-embed-the-entire-fontset-anymore/ -- Eduardo Omine http://blog.omine.net/ http://www.omine.net/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] FMS3 console unable to inspect SharedObjects
Hi all,
I am running FMS 3.0.1 but I can't inspect the properties in my
SharedObjects with the admin console. Opening the SharedObjects tab
under View Applications results in the following error appearing in my
Server Log:
Thu 02:34:30 PM: Connection rejected by server. Reason : [
Server.Reject ] : Invalid uri :
rtmp:///myapp/_definst_?_fcs_debugreq_=1434190
The application itself runs with no problems.
For testing purposes I reduced my main.asc code to this:
application.onAppStart = function()
{
application.allowDebug = true;
application.so = SharedObject.get('so');
application.so.setProperty('winner', 'abcdef');
// returns Application started. abcdef as expected
trace('Application started. '+application.so.getProperty('winner'));
}
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Not being able to use the SharedObject inspector is a big inconvenience.
Thanks is advance,
