Re: [Flashcoders] 3D engine for dynamic text
Hi, Also checkout FIVe3d http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/ It's been around a whileand looks like the code was last updated in 2011, but for just rendering text in vector format, I found it was really nice and simple to use. There are some examples on that page to check outand some of Mathieu's FIVe3D examples are quite cool: http://www.mathieu-badimon.com/ http://lab.mathieu-badimon.com/ Other libraries may have pulled the finger out on 3D text, but afaik, this _was_ the only one that did it nicely with vectors. I am not sure if it uses GPU at all, but it's worth looking at if you just want to do simple text - check out the Archive examples: http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/archives/ HTH Glen On 14/01/2013 21:50, Randall Tinfow wrote: Know little about 3D for AS3, so I'm struggling to decide where to focus my efforts.

Re: [Flashcoders] Exhibition type kiosks
Hi, In my previous role, I built kiosk PC's to control an animated robot- http://www.robothespian.co.uk/ The kiosk computer for this ran an AIR 2.5 application on Ubuntu Linux Oneiric usinga Gigabyte H55N-USB3 mini-itx board: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3769/reviewed-gigabyte-h55nusb3-miniitx-done-the-gigabyte-way We ran an Intel Core i3 Clarkdale with integrated graphics (sorry, can't remember the CPU model, but think it was a 530) and 2GB of Ram with a 250GB 2.5 HDD. This was the case we used: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6167/silverstone-sugo-sg05-the-miniitx-standard-bearer This was more than capable of running the Flash appall day long. The Intel boards don't playnice with dual-head GFX though. We had lots of fun trying to do the Flash App on a touchscreen and play video on a huge display - we used separate NVidia GFX card for that and iirc, that had a different motherboard, but can't remember the type. We also ran the Kinect with software and some Python AI stuff on a core i5 which gave us a lot of grunt -think it was a Clarkdale processor too. We had previously run Shuttle XPC's with AMD Athlons (3200?), NVidia GFX cards 1-2MB of RAM which were also capable of supporting the Flash App, but running to end-of-life and with very unreliable PSU's. The touchscreens were a bit difficult to get hold of - we had a big problem getting 3M ones toto run under Linux for a long time, but eventually we got the OS drivers working under Ubuntu. The main thing is to make the case fairly bomb-proof. I reckon anything with moveable parts on will get trashed if the kiosk is unsupervised and ideally you want the kids to be able to play unsupervised. CPU Usage would spike with Drag Drop activities on screens with lots of symbols - we never managed to trace thiscompletely, but it only seemed to happen running under AIR rather than purely Flash(We built an AIR shell loader so we could run the App in browser etc). The components for this setup are probably nearing 2years old now, but I reckon the PC would cost £500, then the screen and kiosk need to be accounted for on top of that.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Socket.readObject received in multiple ProgressEvents?
Hi,
Are you sure that this is not something server-side?
I have had similar problems which were compounded when using Wireless

filling the socket buffer when it got a buffer full event?
Apart from that you could use some sort of paradigm like:

I can only find pseudo code illustrating what you should do reassemble an AMF

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader Oddness
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.

Re: [Flashcoders] E4X XML manipulation
Hi,
You would have to:
1 Create a new XML node,
myNewNode = my_xml/
2. Select nodes from the existing XML where id != a
var nodes:XMLList = my_xml.child(row).attribute(id != a);
3. Select nodes from existing XML where id = a
var parentNodes:XMLList = my_xml.child(row).attribute(id !=
a);
4. Conditionally, Append result of 3 to your new node.
var parent:XML;
if(0 != parentNodes.length()) {
parent = myNewNode.appendChild(parentNodes[0]);
}
5. Append result of 2 to your new node id=a
if(parent) {
for each(var node:XML in nodes) {
parent.appendChild(node);
}
}
This is untested, so please try and see how you get on.
There may be a neater way, but I found deleting nodes based on e4x
results sometimes problematic...
Hope this helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash on top of flash
Hi, I had to do some similar hacky workaround for a site that wanted a flash navigation that expanded over the top of HTML. The Flash had to be fullscreen for the intro and then shrink vertically to be the navigation bar at the top of the screen when content appeared. The only way I could figure to do this was to have Flash call JavaScript after / before each transition to change the css and expand / contract the Flash div over the top of the other content. If the non-intersecting parts of your 2 swfs is rectangular, this might work for you?

Re: [Flashcoders] Fw: Timer Probelem
Hi,
Your Timer delay is possibly too small to be reliable - in the
documentation it says that a timer delay lower than 20ms is not recommented:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/utils/Timer.html#Timer%28%29
If you then start a loop to trace 1000 times during a timer event,
this will slow down your system whilst the loop runs...
What is probably happening is that your flag_loop variable is set
to true again before the loop has finished.
My question is why do you need timer3 to test the step variable -
can't you do that in Timer1? Also timer2 seems pretty redundant - could
you run a single timer that tests various conditions instead?

Re: [Flashcoders] Fw: Timer Probelem
Hi,
Because your timer resolution is 1ms - so you will hold up the AVM
with your 1000 loop traces and your timer resolution will suffer. If
you set flag_loop=true somewhere else, you maybe okay, but your logic in
timer3 currently means the testTimer theoretically gets called 2 times
between 2 and 2.25 seconds.
For more useful information about how timers work in flash, check out:

Maybe google them.
It also seems your example is theoretical rather than a solution
to a problem. If we knew what you were trying to achieve other than
showing timer counts we may be able to give you some better direction.

Re: [Flashcoders] DataGrid: save multidim arrayfrom Flash to mySQL with PHP
Hi,
You can post multidimensional arrays to PHP for example in an HTML
form, this is better than GET which may have a lower limit on the number
of characters that can be sent in a request (as I found out with some
JQuery stuff)...
http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.post.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.post.php#96902
You can do:
input name=myArray[0][id] value=123/
So in Flash you could do the same by setting the appropriate
variables in a URLVariables, but note, you probably have to call your
variables something like this:
var data:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
data[myArray[0][id]] = 123;
So you could loop through your datagrid and submit the values that
way - you would need to add a count variable which tells PHP how many
objects are in your array, then you could do:
?php
$num_items = isset($_POST['num_items']) ?
(int)$_POST['num_items'] : 0;
for($i = 0; $i $num_items;$i++) {
$id = $_POST[myArray][$i][id];
//...
}
?
Alternatively - and less data-intensively, you could save the
values every time someone changes a field and then it loses focus. You
would have to save each variable separately so you would need a form
processor that handles some kind of id, a variable name and a value that
you then add / update in the database (if there is no id field, you
could be inserting data).
You could use Sephiroth's serialiazer system:
http://www.sephiroth.it/test/unserializer/
Or some other way of dealing with the data like AMF, etc.
There used to be some good stuff on Flash DB
http://www.flash-db.com/, but it appears to be down now, so maybe it has
gone the way of many websites...
I think there are lots of libraries that do a lot of the crappy
grunt work for you with Flash - Database stuff so whilst it's good to
learn the principles, you would possibly benefit from finding something
like these in the long run, especially where security is concerned:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.database.php
Hope this helps you a little.
If only you could assign an object to URLVariables and have it post
properly

But when items are changed (edit, added, deleted), I want them to save
the data in my mySQL database.
My values are in this multi-dimensional indexed array, which elements
all contain a associative array:
myArray[i][id]
myArray[i][name]
myArray[i][description]
So, can anyone tell/show me a apropriate way to pass this to PHP and
in the php-file how to INSERT or UPDATE this to mySQL?
TIA!
Best regards,
Cor van Dooren

Re: [Flashcoders] DataGrid: Expanding vertical Thumb width
Hi,
I remember having to hack this in Flash for a list component, you
should be able to set the style, but you need to use GrantSkinners
workaround http://gskinner.com/blog/archives/2007/05/variable_scroll.html
Edit your skin, then include Grant's fl.controls.List or whatever -
that includes Scrollbar code.
Set your width using the setStyle props.
_list.setStyle(scrollBarWidth,40);
_list.setStyle(scrollArrowHeight, 40);

does change the color and the width in the library,

Widening scrollThumb_upSkin, et al in the library does show them altered when

Re: [Flashcoders] Help Registration point and origion point
Hello, I did some stuff a long time ago with moving particles along a sine wave type path where you can control the frequency and amplitude. Not sure if it will help much - the code is in (probably old bad) AS2, but you are welcome to look at it and borrow if it's any help. You would need to update the position of a single particle as it moves along the waveform and draw a line from this to your previous point. If you click and drag on the SWF vertical changes amplitude, horizontal changes frequency. It's a good visual example of aliasing in action too - if you increase the frequency, the shape appears to cycle. By the way, your frequency control on your scope appears to be backwards - turning anti-clockwise increases the frequency. Hope this helps. http://glenpike.co.uk/play/sinewave.html Source: http://glenpike.co.uk/play/flash/sinewave.fla Glen On 03/08/2011 09:40, nasim h wrote: Hi I'm Really appreciate u I want to simulate Osiloscope .

Starting off with an example where the visual elements of a sprite are not originated at 0,0 var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite (); mySprite.graphics.beginFill(); mySprite.graphics.drawRect (10, 10, 50, 50); mySprite.graphics.endFill(); mySprite.x = 10; mySprite.y = 10; stage.addChild(mySprite); *the stage thinks this:* mySprite.x = 10; mySprite.y = 10; mySprite.width = 50; mySprite.height = 50; *mySprite thinks this:* this.x = 10; this.y = 10; this.width = 50; this.height = 50; But what happened to the fact that the rectangle I drew lives at x:10, y:10 !!! *So how do you find out where the origin is from inside mySprite?* - mySprite.getBounds(mySprite); this will return the boundaries of mySprite, in relation to mySprite. The visual reality of mySprite is that its boundaries are this: x: 10 y: 10 width:50 height:50 your origin offset is x:10, y:10. This still doesn't account for the x and y placement of mySprite on the stage, but that is simple to calculate. *The next part, is compensating for the scale: ** *If you take our mySprite from above, and scale it to 2, there are some notable changes: - mySprite.scaleX = mySprite.scaleY = 2; mySprite thinks: x:10 y:10 width:100 height:100 mySprite.getBounds(mySprite) returns this: x:10 y:10 width:50 height:50 The visual elements inside of mySprite did not grow, but mySprite is telling it to grow (because of the scaleX| scaleY changes) But what is probably messing you up is that when you scale an object that has an origin offset, the distance between the origin offset is multiplied by the same scale. *Here's the example:* (same mySprite as above, and already scaleX and scaleY = 2) mySprite is located at x:10, y:10 mySprite is scaled to 2, with an origin offset of x:10,. y:10. multiply the origin offsets by the scale of the object and you get x:20, y:20 the visual position of mySprite is at x:30, y:30 We can verify this by using getBounds again, but in relation to the stage. mySprite.getBounds(stage); returns: x:30 y:30 width:100 height:100 So, an example to compensate for the offset and scale would go like this: (if you want mySprite to *look* like its at 0,0 on the stage) var myBounds:Rectangle = mySprite.getBounds(mySprite); var originOffset:Point = new Point() originOffset.x = -myBounds.x * mySprite.scaleX originOffset.y = -myBounds.y * mySprite.scaleY; mySprite.x = originOffset.x; mySprite.y = originOffset.y; Now, mySprite will appear to be at 0,0 on the stage, even though the origin is offset and the scale has been changed. *Solutions* You can try compensation for both the origin and scale, or you can change the way you scale, say by scaling the actual sin wave and not the containing parent. You could also just redraw the wave instead of changing the scale. Hope that helps. the end code I used: var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite (); mySprite.graphics.beginFill(0); mySprite.graphics.drawRect (10, 10, 50, 50); mySprite.graphics.endFill(); mySprite.x = 10; mySprite.y =
Re: [Flashcoders] NativeProcess On Mac
Hi,
Unless you can use /usr/sbin/diskutil as your File name and pass
the other elements of the command line as separate arguments, then you
might have to be more creative with your approach.
1.Write a shell script that encapsulates this command and call
that.
2.Capture the output of the first command and use Regular
expressions to extract the UUID yourself?

Re: [Flashcoders] Calling applescript from Adobe AIR
Hi,
Not sure, but if AppleScript files can be executable like shell
scripts in Linux, then you can call them from Air desktop using the
Native Process API.
If you download Air Launchpad and get it to generate the source
code example for the Native Process API, you can then hack it to try
your code, see my example below which starts an SSH session using putty
on Windows - did not try on Mac as I don't have one, but should also be

Re: [Flashcoders] Calling applescript from Adobe AIR
Hi,
I am using FlashDevelop with flex_sdk_4.1.0.16076 and Air 2.5 SDK -
can you change the Flex SDK your Flex Builder uses?
I think the Native Process API requires AIR 2.0 at least. You also
have to setup your #AppName-app.xml file to have the extendedDesktop
permissions:
supportedProfilesextendedDesktop desktop/supportedProfiles
I think Launchpad will automatically generate the correct file for you.
Make sure that application.xml has the correct AIR version:
application xmlns=http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0;
Hope this helps - I am not sure about Flex vs Flashbuilder and SDK
versions.

Re: [Flashcoders] Incorrect XML from PHP to Flash
Hmm, maybe not URL encoding.
What happens when you call the php page directly - in Firefox, does it
show you the XML, or do you have to view the source? (The former would
mean firefox considered it valid xml)
Does the XML show all the url-encoded characters, or is it just in Flash?
As an aside to help with your XML, you could do this - it might not help
your encoding, check the results by echoing them out I guess?
//Don't worry about \n and whitespace in your $response var, the
DOMDocument will sort it out ;)
//You don't need to include the ?xml? tag either.
$response =

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc-preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$doc-formatOutput = true;
$doc-loadXML($response);
echo $doc-saveXML();
Another trick might be to do this to make your output a bit more
easy to automate:
$fields = array(code, datum, klant_nummer, ...);
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$response .=project;
foreach($fields as $field) {
$response .= project_${field}![CDATA[ .$row[project_

Re: [Flashcoders] Calling native code from Flash
Hi, Having tried the Ogg encoding program someone wrote as a demo, I am inclined to agree - to work around this, I used AIR's Native Process API to launch the oggenc encoder to encode wav files. If the northcode DLL stuff is no good, maybe consider running your DLL in an application that provides a simple API over command line and use the Native Process API to pass commands, or use a Socket as other people suggested. We use the socket method to talk to a backend C++ program..

Passing large amounts of data between AS3 and Alchemy code is pretty slow. As far as I can tell, there's no way to pass a VectorNumber, and passing via ByteArrays is really slow - the reading and writing of the ByteArray is slow enough to obviate any gain you get from using Alchemy as opposed to AS3. Alchemy also seems to still be a research project within Adobe Labs, not really a fully-supported official product, so I'm reluctant to use it for commercial code. -Gerry ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

The polygon is created by drawing a series of lines every time the mouse

to perform an action.
So my question is how to detect when the line intersects a movie clip?
The following is unsuitable as it treats the line as a rectangle e.g a
vertical line will have a lot of hit area that I do not want to be hit area
if (ballMC.hitTestObject(lineMC)) {
My other best suggestion is to use the 4 lines that make up the bounding box
of the ball movie clip and do a line intersection test for each line against
the line being drawn. This seems overly complex so before I try this I
wanted to check there is not a simpler solution.

Hi,
Can you measure the vector distance between the centre of the
polygon and the centre of the ball? If that is 0,0, and the diameter of
the circle is less than the smallest of width / height of the box, then
you are inside.

Working on a game where the player must draw around some colored balls on
screen by dragging the mouse to create the polygon that surrounds the

The polygon is created by drawing a series of lines every time the mouse
moves. If one of these lines intersects one of the balls (movie clip) I
need
to perform an action.
So my question is how to detect when the line intersects a movie clip?
The following is unsuitable as it treats the line as a rectangle e.g a
vertical line will have a lot of hit area that I do not want to be hit
area
if (ballMC.hitTestObject(lineMC)) {
My other best suggestion is to use the 4 lines that make up the bounding
box
of the ball movie clip and do a line intersection test for each line
against
the line being drawn. This seems overly complex so before I try this I
wanted to check there is not a simpler solution.
Thanks in advance

Re: [Flashcoders] reading a very simple XML file
Hi,
You should be able to do:
var children:XMLList = xmlData.children();
foreach(var child:XML in children) {
trace(child.toXMLString());
}
make sure you use toXMLString for tracing XML elements - otherwise you
end up with blanks sometimes.

[Flashcoders] Hands up who understands utf-8 encoding?
Hi,
I have run into a problem that seems pretty bizarre, but may be a
silly error on my part.
I have a function to encode strings in Flash to hex values, but it
needs to deal with various languages and special characters, so needs to
handle Unicode strings.
I had a function - it works fine in Windows and used to work on the
target platform - running 10.0.45.2 standalone debug player on Gentoo Linux
All of a sudden - the encoding has stopped working and is creating
garbage so is not working any more.
We have changed the hardware and probably the kernel version
lately, so this is the only thing that I think which could effect it,
but I maybe wrong.
I have an old function / workaround which I can use, but if someone
could explain wtf is going on I would be greatful. Code is posted below
for your amusement.
Thanks
Glen

Timber is not really necessary, so I, with my limited DSP knowledge, think the FFT is overkill; however, I absolutely admit I could be wrong and not seeing something important. Another thing is that I was thinking a good/cheap way to get rid of some low level background noise would be to normalize all values within the time domain with a very high gain factor, and just give max and min values for the zero crossings( e.g +3, -3 respectively... I know the numbers would obviously not be these ones). I know know frequency analysis would have to be preformed in order to remove a voice, but I am thinking that this could allow me to zero out/ignore, really low level/really high level background noise. Should I try something different? Again, I have just started reading through a copy of 'DSP: a computer science perspective', that someone gave me, and it seems like what I am talking about would work; yet, if not, and you have experience with signals analysis, I would appreciate the heads up.

I don't agree with your conclusions about competitiveness based on that difficulty, but yeah, it could be better. Kevin N.

[Flashcoders] CS5, SharedObject AIR for Android debugging
Hi, I am trying to debug an AIR for Android app in CS5 and am having problems with saving shared object data. Originally it was throwing exceptions - I found a fix to use SharedObject.close() after each operation, but it seems that the AIR app cannot save to local storage in the IDE. Tried to google, but not having much luck, can anyone shed some light on this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem embedding and using a font variant
Have you tried enumerating your embedded fonts to see what name Flash gives it? If you embed just your Myriad Pro Condensed into a document and add the actionscript to list out the font name, etc. http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8sourceid=navclientgfns=1q=as3+enumerate+font You might find the system gives it a different name? Glen On 11/04/2011 19:24, Matt Perkins wrote: I'm using Myriad Pro for regular (non TLF) dynamic text fields in my project and it's working fine. Now the client wants to use Myriad Pro Condensed Bold for titles and I cannot get it to show up. I can't get just Myriad Pro Condensed to show either. I don't have any problems with Myriad Pro - I think the condensed variant/style is causing issues. I've checked over and over that I have it embedded properly. Looks like Condensed Bold is treated as a style like bold but there's no way to set a style on a text format object. I even tried setting the font style via html in the text content: textfild.htmlText = font face='Myriad Pro Condensed'+mytext+/font; Didn't work. Any tips for using font variants like this? I'd rather keep doing it dynamically like this and not have to create a textfield symbol in the library to use (which would work). Also, this is an AS3/CS5 project. The TLF TextLayoutFormat has a font style property, but not sure if it would work - but the last time I tried to use TLF my FLA wouldn't compile because of some error with my assets SWC and the TLF SWC. So I'd rather not go there. Maybe I can fake it by tweaking the scaleX property.

Hi,
I am not sure about the interpreted bit - I can't remember to
well, but Colin Moock's AS3 book mentioned not putting too much code in
a constructor because of some constraint on the system - instead you
should farm out initialization to another function, e.g.
public class MyClass {
public function MyClass() {
_init();
}
private function _init():void {
trace(doing lots of setup);
//...
trace(finished setup...);
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Wait for several things to be loaded
Hi,
The clunkiness depends on how flexible you need to be I guess -
to get it working, your approach is probably fine.
But, if you have to keep implementing it over and over again, you
might want to start refining your approach.
e.g. If you have to add a data sets to be loaded, how do you
accommodate this. When you have 10 or more, is is becoming unweildy and
hard to manage? If so, it's probably time to refactor your approach to
make it more flexible. Here is a couple of ideas off the top of my head
- they are not the right way, just ideas.
If you are using URLRequests to load data, you could separate out
loading from your Database and SiteData and use something like
QueueLoader: http://code.google.com/p/queueloader-as3/ or LoaderMax
https://www.greensock.com/loadermax/ to load the data then populate your
models.
You could create an interface that each of your Database, SiteData
other classes implement, then create an array of instances of these at
runtime, then loop through them one by one, calling init on and
setting flags / counting how many are loaded in your handler.
For more complicated systems that regularly talk to servers with
lots of commands you may have to run in sequence, look up asynchronous
command chaining in Google - this is probably beyond what you want to
do here as you are only loading in data from several sources at startup
by the look of it, but the approaches may give you ideas to help
implement a flexible system.

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple encapsulation question
I would suggest allowing Tabs to remain ignorant of each other and let the parent deal with the focus, because you might like to change it. In my lazy world of radio-buttons that can only have on toggled on at once, I keep a reference to the currently toggled button. If I receive a click from a button and there is a current one, I untoggle that first, before toggling the clicked one and assigning it to the current reference.

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting Data into my SWF
Hello, The parameters that you pass to the SWF in your HTML are different to communicating with a back-end system. If you look at URLLoader in actionscript. This enables you to load data as you would load a web-page. You would use URLLoader with your server-side code, e.g. PHP to do GET and POST type requests: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/URLLoader.html http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ee2zephyr_serranozephyr.html This way, your users cannot inject their own date and it is also possible to have login type facilities. This way, what flash is doing is putting the pretty skin over your application. The difference from HTML is that you stay on the same page and make requests similar to Ajax. This site might have some good tutorials to get you started. http://www.flash-db.com/ Also, these pages should become your most thumbed. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/index.htm http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/index.html http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/index.html HTH Glen On 10/03/2011 18:35, Kevin Holleran wrote: I'll explain further so I get valuable responses and avoid the sarcasm.

Okay, so it is possible to change the date using a sniffer, but being as the majority of people don't tend to use sniffers, unless the guy is writing a critical application that flies planes or crashes them if the date is wrong then I would suggest that the risk assessment here would be to accept the fact that there are some people there who might use a sniffer and change the date. if we all ran around with the attitude that you can't trust anyone, so what's the point, we would still be in the dark ages.

Right click on a running flash player, e.g. youtube video or something

When you re-installed flashplayer, did you uninstall first - use the

[Flashcoders] Problem with XML.childIndex()
Hi,
I am having a problem with getting the childIndex value from an e4x

Both these functions work - e.g. they return an XML node from a

function.
Can anyone see what the problem is?

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with XML.childIndex()
Hmm, they just return the number node from a matching asset in the
list, but if I do this:
var res : XMLList = _assets.child(number).(text() == prop);
if (0 != res.length()) {
trace(this, getAssetDetails + res[0].parent().childIndex());
return res[0].parent();
}
I still have the same problem even using the parent???

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with XML.childIndex()
Hi,
The problem is not getting the assets - this works for both example
functions.
The problem is that when I try to trace the childIndex() of the
asset that has been found, it always returns -1 for the asset obtained
by matching the child rather than the attribute.
So the following e4x works, but the childIndex value does not.
var res:XMLList = _assets.(child(number) == String(prop));
if (0 != res.length()) {
debug(this, getAssetDetails + res[0].childIndex());
return res[0];
} else {
return null;
}
Here is a much shortened list of assets:

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with XML.childIndex()
Thank you - I have discovered the problem now - I was making a copy the
XML for an asset when creating a list of items, which broke the indexing
because the copy was not related to the original, e.g.
for (var i:int = 0; i len;i++ ) {
//Making a copy of the node means that getAssetDetails.
var asset:XML = _assets[i].copy();
dp.addItem({label:asset.child(number) + :
+asset.child(name), data:asset.name});
}
Incidentally - the getAssetByNumber would not have been possible as I am
programming to an API which compares objects of various types against
the XML so I have to use getAssetDetails(prop:*)
Thank you for your help :)

With that information you can start mixing, read the value of the first sample from each note currently playing and add them together, this is the mixed value. Now write that out and you have mixed one sample worth of audio.

Re: [Flashcoders] OTish MP3 files for a piano scale
At this point, you might want to take advantage of one of the synth libraries of AS3 and use the mp3 files as your wave-table then add your filters envelope generators just like a normal sample-based synth. Probably overkill for an online distraction, but if you are going for quality / realism, then worth considering. Have a look at some of Andre Michelle's examples or see if you can find the Flashcodersbrighton experiments with as3 synths if you are interested.

Heck, you could sell the library online for some small bucks and make money. -- You could go further than recording all 88 notes. A soft note has a different timbre, attack, and decay from a loud note. For such a library to be really valuable, you would need to have different attacks at different volume levels.

I think they are, but you could substitute your generated waveform for sound data from a file - the hack the system used relied on loading in a single mp3 then injecting sound data into it...

Heck, you could sell the library online for some small bucks and make money. -- You could go further than recording all 88 notes. A soft note has a different timbre, attack, and decay from a loud note. For such a library to be really valuable, you would need to have different attacks at different volume levels. At least you don't have to worry about legato, since a piano can't play true legato like a violin or French Horn. A non-accented attack would do well for legato.

Re: [Flashcoders] OTish MP3 files for a piano scale
I think he was referring to velocity rather than frequency - velocity would be difficult from a computer keyboard - you just get on or off. If you were to change the attack and decay based on frequency, essentially, you could cheat and pre-apply the ADSR to a waveform unless you needed to calculate this, but most samples of a piano would have this anyway.

[Flashcoders] Access AIR API's from a loaded SWF
Hi, I am working on an application where I currently load a number of SWF's into a Shell SWF. Recently I have been experimenting with using AIR 2 and Mass Storage Detection / File API's and would like to integrate this functionality into my application. I can load in the Shell SWF to an AIR app and this works okay. What I want to know, is it possible to use the AIR API's from within these loaded SWF's? I have been looking around and I am not sure I can see a way to get my external SWF's to compile without making them part of AIR applications too? I have been trying to do this with Pure AS3 projects in Flash Develop, but not having much luck. I have been googling around and reading the doc's, but no joy, does anyone have any tips / suggestions please?

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting bitmap data after successfully loading a swf file
Hi,
If your loaded asset is a swf, you cannot just access the
bitmapData property - it does not have one.
However, you can draw the contents of a MovieClip / Sprite /
DisplayObject into a BitmapData object, which you can then pass to the
constructor of a Bitmap.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7d60.html
You should also use the INIT event rather than the COMPLETE event
for loaded objects because your SWF may have to initialise when it's
loaded and you cannot be guaranteed that height, width and child clips
are on stage.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to detect for modifier (alt/ctrl) keys
Hi,
I would suggest using a keyboard manager class that tracks when

you to Poll such keys when you are checking others.
There is a good example from Richard Lord here:

Alt key is pressed.
Simplified test code:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyUpHandler);
function onKeyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void
{

function onKeyUpHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void

trace(onKeyUp: e.ctrlKey= + e.ctrlKey + , e.altKey= + e.altKey);
}
When I test the code (tested on 2 PC's with Flash 10 or 10.1 Debug player in
Flash pro CS5 or via same version debug players in MSIE/FF browsers) and
press only the right alt key or a key combi e.g. right-alt-5 the traces
report always true for the ctrlKey, so even when it isn't pressed!?
I checked the Adobe bug base, tried Google, but didn't find anything related
so far.
What am I missing?

case CTRL_KEYCODE:
_ctrlKeyDown = true;
return;
break; //your choice if you put break after return
//case ALT_KEYCODE:
// _altKeyDown = true;
// return;
// break;
default:
break;
}
trace(onKeyDown: ctrlKeyDown= + _ctrlKeyDown);
}
function onKeyUpHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void
{
switch(e.keyCode) {
case CTRL_KEYCODE:
_ctrlKeyDown = false;
return;
break; //your choice if you put break after return

Re: [Flashcoders] bounce object off tilted wall
Hi, You should be able to work out your angle of reflection in a similar way as you do for horizontal collision. 2 billiard balls - collision detection is easy - if the distance between the centre's is less than 2 x the radius you have a collision. I think there is some optimisation you can do for this - check out some tutorials / books. Keith Peter's Making Things Move book is really good. Jobe Makar's Flash MX Game Programming Demystified explained the basic concepts nicely too. For the angle of reflection - it's to do with the angle between the wall and the ball. If you assume the wall (for one of your billiard balls) is at right angles to the direction of the billiard ball, you have a starting point - again, there is some stuff you can do with trig in here. There are lots of tutorials online, so I would Google as3 physics collisions or similar. For other optimisations - it's possibly not worth updating stuff that's not on stage until you put it back - is that possible?

Re: [Flashcoders] Left shifting input text as user types is unreliable
Is this happening because you are using the CHANGE event - is that firing when you change modify the character also?

The only other suggestion may be out of place, but concerns usability and might be redundant: Making a text field large enough for the input data may be a way around this too - I know email addresses can be ridiculously long, but I think I would be happier with one that is long enough rather than having one the right width just to please a graphic designer...

Re: [Flashcoders] Inheritance and abstract classes
Hi, If you type as a superclass you are generally programming to an interface, so you can just as easily type to an interface. Using interfaces is generally more flexible - it's easier to work with has a (interfaces) than is a (subclass), but sometimes you need a default implementation for your interface, which is why there are a number of abstract classes in AS3 that implement the interface - you need some generic behaviour, it can go in a super-class, but concrete classes are often difficult to deal with when you want to swap between interfaces. E.g. unlike C++ with multiple inheritance, you can only extend a single class, but you can implement as many interfaces as you want. People will generally tell you to work with interfaces, but there are times - and you will find out somewhere along the line, where only a superclass will do. For a simple example of this, look at what we do with Sprites and MovieClips when we extend them. Hope this helps. If you have not looked at Head First Design Patterns, or a similar book about patterns, then they will give you a more in-depth grounding than I can.

This makes it necessary for all methods to exist in the super(abstract) class and overridden in the subclass. Is this on purpose so the abstract class acts as an interface? Wouldn't it be more flexible to type and instantiate as the subclass so methods can be added to the subclass that don't exist in the super(abstract) class? I like the idea of abstract classes.

Re: [Flashcoders] Downloading a .swc library
Hi.
I would think about using the [Embed] directive in pure AS3 code to
create font swf files. You can have one or more fonts in a swf which
does not matter and you can load them in a runtime dynamically.
Here is an example of a Font file - you can setup a project in
FlashDevelop that will compile this as the main class in a SWF file.
For multiple Fonts, just duplicate the [Embed] line and the static
variable for it (with a different name.
Using an FLA - it does not embed the font ranges in the same way. I
found there were only a certain range of characters in the IDE created
SWF even when I changed the range to be embedded - only by de-compiling
the SWF and looking at the glyphs embedded with Sothink's tool!
If you need unicode ranges, this page is really useful:
http://www.zenoplex.jp/tools/unicoderange_generator.html
Also lots of links I have used to piece together my methods:

The font is shown below - this is added to my config file - my
application automatically loads any .swf files at startup (it is
local, not net as a 7MB font with Traditional Chinese will strain your
connection). If I change languages, my XML file may specify a font to
find -
IMPORTANT - the fontName in the XML matches the fontName in the Embed
statement!
My Application Screens all use a public static variable called
_defaultFont, which can be changed at runtime by the following function
and all my components can access the defaultFont variable should they
wish to use it (a snippet of XML is shown at the bottom).
Hope this helps - you can follow the links and work it out yourself if
you want, or peek below:

On 24/08/2010 15:36, Todd Dominey wrote: Right, not looking for the Flash Player plugin version a user has installed, but rather which runtime the SWF was published to (9 or 10). The root of my dilemma is that Flash's behavior when applying an alpha tween to a Sprite containing a text field using system typefaces isn't consistent when publishing to FP9 and FP10. When FP9 is the runtime, the text fields aren't tweened as part of the parent. When FP10 is the runtime, they are. Note that this is independent of the Flash Player plugin a user has installed. If you compile the SWF with FP9 as the runtime and load it in FP10 in the browser, the text fields aren't tweened. Compile to FP10 and load in FP10, they are. So...I'm trying to find something that an AS3 SWF could look for to know whether FP10 was selected as its runtime when published. If I knew that, I could code around it to control how that tween behavior is handled.

Re: [Flashcoders] pdf encoders
OT: No experience scripting Open Office, but in my experience using it, the PDF exporter sucks. I normally install a PDF printer like CutePDF and use that to render my PDF's as the OO one can't seem to render my documents without nasty artifacts, jaggy fonts and just poor quality overall.

Re: [Flashcoders] pdf encoders
Hi, Never tried it, but what about Zend_Pdf? Glen Anthony Pace wrote: I am sending this here just cause I think it's likely some developers here have had to work with PDF output. I know about alivePDF, which is great; yet, from what I have it's just not ideal for generating hundreds of PDF files in a row right now. For several PDFs here or there, alivePDF would be okay; however, I need at least dozens per minute, plus some security to limit users, so something on the server side would be best. Does it even have user security features? (e.g. encryption, or no printing at a dpi higher than specified) I know they can be bypassed, but I am not trying to make it impossible; just not practical. I know I already mentioned TCPDF (offshoot of fpdf); however, I need something really stable and really fast, which tcpdf, although feature rich, just isn't. I do have to say, that when I submit a bug report to Nicola Asuni, the guy that does most of the development, it gets fixed in a couple days; yet, there are just too many at this point, and the speed is so slow, that it just won't work for my needs. Any suggestions? Oh yes, I need it to be opensource, and the client is not interested in paying a license; therefore, PDFlib is out of the question. Maybe, something in Perl if it's really easy to use? But, I would prefer PHP; cause it would integrate better with everything else I have done.

Re: [Flashcoders] Question FP10 inactive event dispatched when not visible.
It is a special event. It is one of the few broadcast events. The manual is quite clear on this. It is not dispatched for focus issues. Think I have been looking at the old AS3 reference - it is clear in the docs for CS5, but Flash 9.0 ref is less verbose. Sorry, I understand the broadcast thing fully now :-! ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
