is that what you're looking for? i just googled flash growing vines and
followed some links.

 Several years ago (in Flash 8, I'm almost positive) someone (Colin Moock??)
 came up with a/several algorithms that grew vines on the stage, discreetly,

 and can't find them.

 If anybody remembers what I'm talking about and can give me a nudge toward
 where I might find it/them, I'd be deeply grateful.

 Apparently, it wasn't Mr. Moock, by the way. I've rooted all the way
 through his sandbox. Lots of fun; no dice. Besides, I don't just want to
 enjoy them, I'd like to use them, if they're available.

[Flashcoders] multi language support and font embed/styling best practices?

2008-12-28 Thread Jah
greetings list. the team i am on is building an AS3 site that needs to
support multi languages. I'm inquiring about best practices, custom built
classes/solutions, etc for dealing with runtime font loading/sharing vs.
embedding... basically a font management and styling solution allowing
external text. i've seen a few blog posts on the subject and was wondering
if there was a general consensus as to the best approach. thanks in advance.

apologies if this is a tad vague, but i'm looking for a styling solution in
AS3. We're looking for something that is more along the lines of a style
manager to apply CSS formatting to be used in an MVC framework. if anyone

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 textfields in a Flash 7 SWF

2007-03-21 Thread Jah

for the effects to take affect, you'd need to publish in version 8.
since those with 7 won't be able to load that (or might not be able to
with predictable results)  using System.capabilities.version to detect
version number might not solve your problem.

so within a single swf, i don't think you can accomplish that.

On 3/21/07, Jake Prime [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hi

I have a SWF which is published as Flash 8 purely to take advantage of
the filter effects that can be applied to dynamic text fields. The
problem is that I am now forced to deploy the project to Flash 7.

I was hoping that I could do a detect within the SWF and serve up the
nice Flash 8 text fields for the majority who can see it, and just
have the plain old 7 ones for those who can't.

Is there a way to do this within a single SWF?

Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] practical limits to size of XML files?

2007-03-13 Thread Jah

on the subject of Xpath with large files, i've been impressed with the
speed of XMLUtilities for large XML files. granted it really is just a
wrapper for the built in XML functions, but i found it very fast and
light. and really i hardly use a fraction of what Xpath is capable of
anyway.
sorry for being off topic, in regards to that matter i feel the
subject has been covererd by greater minds than mine. ;)

On 3/12/07, Ron Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

We do the same thing.
Once you get the hang of the XML classes it is not too bad and you can
really tune your access.

If you are doing your own tree climbing it gets easier to deal with a
multi-file XML structure that can help reduce the amount of XML that you
have to parse in any given operation. You can break the tree from the
root or from the leaves to optimize the apparent latency to the user.

 I agree with what's been said, and would add that if you cannot use
 Flash 9 AS3 for your XML, then be wary of the third party XML parsers
 when dealing with XML files of this size. I had been in love with
 xfactorstudio's Xpath classes (which are mostly great by the way), until
 I had to read in a large XML file and convert to objects in Flash (I had
 to convert to objects in order to preprare the data for a webservice
 transfer).  I ended up abandoning those classes and used the build-in
 XML classes.  While very cumbersome to use, it was a huge improvement in
 performance.

It is. But you can do it manually by locating the ASO files on your hard
drive and deleting them - I think an extension was published on the
Adobe Exchange which did it also for MX 2004.

Re: [Flashcoders] text length difference

most likely it is the font face='someFont' and /font that are

htmlText you'll see that.

Now I get the same text content from an xml file, within a CDATA node.
trace (myNode.nodeValue.length)   // outputs 502, ok

I pass it through a localConnection to another flash, then I trace it
trace (receivedText.length) // outputs 502, still ok

I fill my html enabled textfield with my content :
myTF.htmlText = receivedText;
trace (myTF.htmlText.textLength);  // Outputs 762 !!!


what are those 111 new caracters??? they don't appear, but make my

Re: [Flashcoders] full screen window

i think this is still in the realm of techniques illegitimate designs
used in the early days of the web. additionally... you should probably
consider how many users won't return to your site bc you've messed
with thier primary browser settings, as most users might not have the
knowledge to turn all those things you're turning off, back on.

It's a tricky one, most modern browsers are specifically designed not to
allow you to size up to fullscreen onLoad, as it was being abused by
scammers and such.

Probably explains why you've been having trouble making it work ;)
