Re: [Flashcoders] General question about data management
storing the xml in memory is fine, personally i prefer using models, that way when the xml changes i just need to update the query which retrieves it and the function which writes xml again. also in the flex2 paradigm with databinding models are better to work with than xml IMO. On 8/31/07, Paul Steven [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am creating a desktop application using Flash and Zinc. The first time it runs, it retrieves all the data by calling a series of scripts on a server. The data is returned as xml data. My question is, can I just store all the info in memory as xml data or do I need to create classes to store the info? I need to store all this data locally so that users can use the application later even if they are not online so I was planning on writing xml files to the users hard drive. Basically the application stores details of examinations and the students associated with each exam. I am currently reading in the xml data about each exam and using an examination class to create instances of each exam to store the properties. Likewise I am reading in all the data for each student and using a student class to create instances of each student to store the properties of each student. I am thinking that this is not necessary and that I could just read in the xml and use this xml data whilst the application is running. Any changes made by the user could directly change the xml data. Then when they choose to save their work, I would write the xml data to a text file. Any advice on this much appreciated as I am getting a bit confused and have spent days writing classes to deal with all the data management.

Re: [Flashcoders] Intro to OOP using ActionScript
i think teaching someone OOP from the begining is not a bad idea, you are still teching them to code but around classes. you do not need to introduce more advanced concepts until later. the best free book i think is thinking in java by bruce eckel and should be easily adaptable for your needs. i also think as3 is a good place to start, you would be equipping them with a better language while still allowing them to do graphics. those who want to learn more coding will slot easier into languages like java, c# etc. On 8/20/07, Ricky Bacon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Steven Sacks wrote: I think you should consider teaching programming basics, focusing on clean code, best practices, naming conventions, etc. and touch on OOP towards the end.

Re: [Flashcoders] Will Flash cache streaming mp3s?
what you are describing sounds like a load and not streaming. streaming is when something like fms or red5 comes into play, but downloading it via http://lala.com/lala.mp3, yes it should cache depending on how you query it (a query string will cause some issues with using the cached version if the querystring changes) but otherwise the browser should serve from the cache. its not flash caching its the host of the active x control.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS 2.0 constructor inheritance
the constructer gets invoked automatically (and its the only function which
does all other overrides this is not the case for) but the super class's
constructer is being called without arguments so whats happening on a code
level is this
super();
On 8/14/07, Alan MacDougall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Compare these two situations:
class SuperClass

class SubClass extends SuperClass

This is as it should be. The superclass constructor is executed when the
subclass is instantiated, as long as the subclass doesn't override it.
class Button
{
private var clip:MovieClip;
public function Button(clip:MovieClip)
{
clip.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, handlerMethod);
}
}
class SpecialButton extends Button
{
// does not override the superclass constructor
}
In this case, code such as var foo:Button = new SpecialButton(clip);
does NOT execute the superclass constructor. Instead, I need this:
class SpecialButton extends Button
{
public function SpecialButton(clip:MovieClip)
{
super(clip); // now it works
}
}
My understanding of inheritance is that I should not need to explicitly
call the superclass constructor as long as I'm not overriding or
extending that method of the superclass. What gives? Is it a language
quirk?

Re: [Flashcoders] Classes 101 [was: Version control and Flash ]
i have not tested it, but in an as3 (or even a flex) project when you use the fl.motion jobbies you need to extend movieclip (i read it somewhere, but thinking about it i have used them in uicomponents so... this is prob wrong) instead of sprite. thinking about it i am wrong most prob about that, but i def read it on the adobe livedocs in regards to the fl.motion package jobbies. On 8/13/07, Ron Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I do not believe that we have had to extend MovieClip in any application so far. We tend to treat Movie Clips as a stage where you put things that you want rendered rather that a functional object. I am not sure that I know the high level theoretical argument but one does see a lot of really strange code and problems come through the forum from people who have tried to bend a MovieClip into something that it really was never intended to be. When you are trying to decide what Object to subclass, look at the basic tenets of OOP and decide if your new class is really an extension of a MovieClip or just a View object that needs a MovieClip to draw on. If you just want to draw something on a MovieClip then create an Object that has a function/method that gets a MovieClip object as a parameter and draws on it. This makes your Object much easier to write and understand and is likely a lot more reusable. Ron Michael Trim wrote: Not all classes have to extend MovieClip (in fact, most shouldn't, and some would argue none should). Just as an aside, I'd be interested to hear why some would argue that you should never extend MovieClip?

Re: [Flashcoders] Object Detection AS3
the problem with your approach is that if the object does exist but is not
on the display tree it will fail

This works for me:
-
var myObject:Object;
if (myObject) {
removeChild(myObject);

Another method would be to catch the error:
-
try {
removeChild(myObject);
} catch (e:Error) {
//do nothing
}

Or you can compare it to null:
--
if (myObject != null) {
removeChild(myObject);

Subject: [Flashcoders] Object Detection AS3
Hi Flashcoders,
Learning AS3 in the deep end at the moment, so excuse the questions if
too newb for this list.
In AS2 I may have done something like the following.
_1___
if(myObject){
myObject.removeMovieClip();
}
this.attachMovie(MyObject,myObject,1);
_
What would similar code look like in AS3? As
_2
removeChild(myObject);
_
fails if myObject doesn't exist yet as does
_3___
if(myObject)
_
Which I don't think you can do anyway?
It's the last one I'm really interested in, how do you detect if
something exists?
Thanks
Michael

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV Streaming causes browser crash when closing a window
for me its difficult to determine which port it is on as we open connections on rtmp 1935,443,80 and rtmpt 80 concurrently. it mostly occurs for me when i try to close a browser where none of connections have succeeded (obviously if one succeeds all the others get closed).

Clicking yes to abort the script, then refreshing the page, solves the problem for that instance. By the way, this can happen even after a successful loading of the movie, so it's NOT an issue of something not being cached.

Re: [Flashcoders] Basic class for swf-question
hi
this works for specifying a class to be associated with root:

[/code]
old hack, still a hack but works

On 4/23/07, Muzak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
In FCS 3 you'll be able to specify a class for the _root of an swf.
In Flash 8 and previous Flash versions there's no such option.
One way to deal with this is the MTASC-way (code taken from
http://www.mtasc.org/#usage)
class Tuto {
static var app : Tuto;
function Tuto() {
// creates a 'tf' TextField size 800x600 at pos 0,0
_root.createTextField(tf,0,0,0,800,600);
// write some text into it
_root.tf.text = Hello world !;
}
// entry point
static function main(mc) {
app = new Tuto();
}
}
When compiling with MTASC you can then specify the name of your main
class (Tuto.as) and which method to call on the class -- in
this case main()
mtasc -swf tuto.swf -main -header 800:600:20 Tuto.as
So what it does when you compile is invoke: Tuto.main();
The code looks a bit odd though, since main() seems to accept an argument
(mc) but it doesn't seem to get used and the constructor
simply uses _root as the target (which IMO isn't a good idea).
Without MTASC you could do the following:
class Tuto {
static var app : Tuto;
private static var target:MovieClip;
function Tuto() {
// creates a 'tf' TextField size 800x600 at pos 0,0
target.createTextField(tf,0,0,0,800,600);
// write some text into it
target.tf.text = Hello world !;
}
// entry point
static function main(mc:MovieClip) {
target = mc;
app = new Tuto();
}
}
And in the main timeline you'd call:
Tuto.main(this);
On top of that, when not using MTASC, you can simply dump the static
method entry point and use the new keyword
class App{
private var target:MovieClip;
function App(mc:MovieClip) {
target = mc;
target.createTextField(tf,0,0,0,800,600);
target.tf.text = Hello world !;
}
}
And in the main timeline:
var app:App = new App(this);
Ofcourse, to actually create a whole application, you'd do something else
in the class constructor instead of simply creating a
TextField.
Then there's the ARP way of doing things - which is what I use ;-)
http://osflash.org/arp/
Instead of using the main timeline as the root of your application, you
create a movieclip with a class assigned to it and place
it on stage.
This MovieClip+Class is usually called Application.
The rest of the flash app goes inside the Application MovieClip. By
placing the Application movieclip on stage, you don't have to
call anything from the main timeline to start the app.
This is very similar to creating a Flash Form Application fla by the
way, except that you're not forced to use the v2 Framework
(mx.screens.Form).
But the overall idea is the same: you create a tree-structure with the
Application Class/MovieClip as the main timeline and the
Application takes care of which child movieclip is shown/hidden.

Muzak

Hi, just wanted to know if there is a best practice when creating a

this the way to go?
var mother:MyFabFlashApp = new MyFabFlashApp();
..or is there a better way? Seems kind of a stupid question, but I
wanted to put it anyway in case I've missed something. ;-) I've
put my main code on the first frame of the _root timeline for too long,
and want to move it into a class.

Re: [Flashcoders] Entering hex number (a color) as component parameter

Hello flash coders,
I have a mostly working component (please see Bubble.*
in http://preferans.de/flash/ ), but wonder how to make
the background color to be a parameter. Currently I have:
class Bubble extends UIComponent
{
[Inspectable(defaultValue=0x66, type='Number')]
private var bgcolor:Number = 0x66;
private function draw():Void {
super.draw();
// draw a yellow rectangle: w x h
rect_mc.clear();
rect_mc.beginFill(bgcolor);
rect_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
rect_mc.lineTo(w, 0);
rect_mc.lineTo(w, h);
rect_mc.lineTo(0, h);
rect_mc.lineTo(0, 0);
rect_mc.endFill();
- but the component inspector (Alt-F7) won't allow me to enter
hexadecimal values like 0xFF into the bgcolor field. Only
decimal values will work (which is a bit awkward to use for colors).
How could I circumvent this? Use string?

When I test the movie, the Object2 enter frame trace is displaying

The term is a destructor; and, no, ActionScript doesn't have

MovieClip.onUnload()--if your class is a subclass of MovieClip, then you

function called destroy():
public function destroy():Void {

delete this;

Then replace all instances of delete instanceOfYourClass; with

Ok, I've got an app that uses a static variable; I've got 'templates'
that use x instances of this class.
When the user loads in a new template when a previous template has
already existed, I get some 'leftover' variables.
Is there a function that is called when a class is 'killed', ie the
opposite of when a class is birthed with 'new'?

Re: [Flashcoders] Implicit setters and exceptions in AS2.0
exceptions in async functions cause all sorts of conundrums at times. make certain you have a strategy for handling that use case On 9/28/06, David Bellerive [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Last week, I sent a message to the FlashCoders list asking if validating the values passed to setter methods (in custom classes) was a good practice. After reading on how exceptions work in Java, here's the solution I've decided to use in my setter methods in AS2.0. If the client (the programmer using my custom class) breaks his part of the contract by supplying my setter method with an illegal value, I display an alert in the output window using the trace statement and abort the implicit setter method without assigning the illegal value that was passed to the method. On the other hand, if the implicit setter method is the one breaking the contract (it can't complete it's task for whatever reason), I throw and exception. I've decided to use this method because AS2.0 doesn't support checked and unchecked exceptions like Java. In AS2.0, all exceptions are unchecked, meaning the client isn't forced to catch any exceptions. But when an exception goes uncaught, the function call stack completely aborts. So, using this method, when the client is responsible for breaking the contract (like passing an illegal value to the setter method), he is alerted via the output window in the Flash IDE. This way, he isn't forced to respond to low-risk errors and the function call stack won't abort under any circumstance. However, the client cannot react to this error at runtime. However, when the setter method is the one responsible for breaking the contract, an exception is thrown and the client has to catch it to prevent the function call stack from aborting completely. If the client doesn't catch the exception, the function call stack is emptied and the program probably won't work as expected. However, if the exception is caught (and it should), the client has the possibilty to react to it at runtime. In conclusion, when the error comes from the client only alert the client. When the error comes from the method, throw an exception. Any thoughts or comments on this ? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

--
inside the pikkle.WireMenu i have exactly the same code,
xml.findFirstNode(test);
and there it fails, as if it forgot that it had added extra methods to
the XMLNode class.
thanks for any tips!

Re: [Flashcoders] {OT} Job Postings?
paul barnes-hogget had an argument about supply and demand in the flex/flasharena which i thought is very apt. he stated that as flex and flash is such a hot technology the demand is very high, thus with normal market factors wages tend to rise. big companies want to use the technology, but due to the cost and lack of supply they struggle to use it, thus making them consider other alternatives. personally we have started hirring developers who are skilled in other areas, upskilling them into this one via peer programming and code reviews in order to try and meet some of this demand, this unfortunatly is a slow process, but one most companies have to do if they want to expand. On 9/12/06, Zeh Fernando [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have been on this list for years and have seen all the job postings and have posted some myself. I am looking to hire 5 Flex 2.0 and 3 flash developers. I have tried posting on dice and monster and have yet to get resumes that come close to the qualifications that I need. So I have to ask where are people finding flash and flex guru's? If you are a flash or flex guru please email me your resume, we pay well! I live in another world, but I can say the same about our (Brazilian) market aswell. There's an absurd lack of competent people, and trying to find someone with the level you expect and that you can trust is an exercise in frustration. I have to refuse almost daily, and inevitably I have to repeat the same choir over and over again - No, I can't do your specific job but thanks, and no, I don't know anyone who could that I can point you at, I'm sorry, that's the truth. I get baffled replies at best; people usually think I'm bullsh*tting them. Unfortunatelly it seems much of this is due to the nature and the history of Flash. Sure, there's a lot of people working with Flex and Flash from all the walks of the design/IT life, but differently from other technologies like, say, Java, the technology isn't seen as being integral part of a dedicated field. Take as an example the school (university) I go to: we have design/interface design/multimedia bachelor degrees, as well as computer science degrees. On the computer science courses, they learn C, C++, Python, Java, and stuff like that; on the other design courses, they learn basic Flash (and I mean, *really* basic flash). Sure, I'm not the one to trust blindly in school degrees (I've worked for 12 years and never had a degree) and I sure hope someone will come out of graduation with 100 design patterns memorized. But the fact that no university course around here sees Flash as a 'serious' programming field speaks a lot when you see the absense of good professionals on the market. You usually have a lot of 'hacks' that come from, say, the creative/design area, and think they're good because they can tween a banner, but it's hard to someone that go a little further and actually wants to get better at coding, or people from the 'cold coding' market moving into what's seen as a designerish tool. Sad but true.

Re: [Flashcoders] Slow performance of Flash 7 content in Flash Player9
i am under the impression that the string performance increases are avm2 only. On 9/5/06, Peter Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In general, swf7 content should be the same or faster in FP8/9 than in FP7. AVM2 is completely separate from AVM1, but some aspects are shared. For example the incremental garbage collector, which was introduced in FP8. It's *possible* that certain apps on certain systems might appear to run slower, because of how they consume memory and how that affects the GC, but this would apply to FP8 as well as 9. Strings are stored and managed differently in AVM2, and I'm not sure if that code change is shared with AVM1. This is supposedly an overall performance improvement, vastly reducing memory usage when you do a lot of string concatenation, but might be slightly slower in a few cases. When people discuss performance, they are usually talking about rendering. As far as I am aware, this has hardly changed, with the exception of new (optional) features, such as bitmap caching.

On 8/24/06, Chris Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Okay,
I have fixed the problem. I would say that this is certainly bug with
Flash, but there is a work around. Thanks to Keith Peters for
mentioning this to me last night.
So here's the deal... Back in the day before MovieClipLoader when you
wanted to load and external SWF, you had to check a property of the
MovieClip to see if it existed before you could manipulate it. You
needed to create an interval that would check to see if it's
initialized in this way. This all makes sense to me, but what doesn't,
is that you can't just check that any property of MovieClip was set.
There is a magic property that seems to indicate that the MovieClip is
fully initialized. That property is _width.
So with this in mind I added a check to the onLoadProgress event like so:
private function handleLoadProgress(targetMC:MovieClip,
loadedBytes:Number, totalBytes:Number):Void
{
if (MovieAsset.HIDE_WHEN_LOADED)
{
if (targetMC._width != undefined ||
targetMC._width != 0)
{
targetMC._visible = false;
}
}
}
Now, how's that for obscure? It does fix the issue, and instanceof is
indeed a MovieClip once again. Oh, and even better, _visible works
like a charm.
Thanks again to all those that helped out with this one.

Thanks for your help on this Ian.
I'm not sure I understand all of what you found here, so let me
summarize with some questions to see if I got it right.
Flash 6 SWFs fail every time when loaded remotely? - This hasn't been
my experience. I've been able to load some small ones (20K) without
the issue.
You think it may have to so with domain security in Flash?
When loading from your files system the Flash 7 and 8 files load
correctly but not Flash 6?
Some findings I have made:
The behavior is slightly different on a Macintosh versus a Windows
machine. Which are you using?
Altering nothing before the SWF is fully loaded screws up the
instanceof stuff but all of the MovieClip properties work just fine.
If I try to alter the _visible property before it's fully loaded it
causes that property to no longer function once fully loaded.
I have some other ideas to try out this morning and I will keep you
posted on my progress. Thanks to all of you who tried to help.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Misreporting instanceof operator.
yeah, i think i agree with peter that the problem is then that you do not extend movieclip. we can get semantic about this tonight, but only once we have a beer in hand... ;) On 8/23/06, Chris Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 8/23/06, Peter Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Perhaps you have a class associated with the symbol, which does not extend MovieClip? Well the instance of MovieClip, or whatever it is in this case, is a part of a class that doesn't extend MovieClip (MovieAsset). MovieAsset implemts and Asset interface and extends an AbstractAsset class that does much of the general leg work. The MovieAsset class has a method getResource() that returns an Object, in this particular case it's the MovieClip in question. So when accessing this MovieClip using this class you must call getResource() and cast it to MovieClip: var movie:MovieClip = MovieClip(asset.getResource()); movie._visible = true; You can take a look at what we are working on here: http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/fling/DEV_Source/classes/org/osflash/fling/util/assets/ To replicate the problem you have to set MovieAsset.setHideWhenLoaded(true); then once the loadComplete event is triggered you try to set the MovieClip to visible: MovieClip(asset.getResource())._visible = true; You should then see that it doesn't work.

Re: [Flashcoders] Strong typing vs attachMovie
you cast

the cleanest way is prob to put a static create function on the class itself
IMO.
from the fdt template
public static function create(container : MovieClip,name : String,
depth : Number, init : Object) : Clock{
var mc : MovieClip = container.attachMovie(linkage, name, depth,
init);
return Clock(mc);

my tooltip class uses code like this mc.onRollOver = function() {}

So now my question (probably a really simple one): How is it possible
to append functionality instead of overwriting? is there something
like super() is for cunstructors?
exactly.
super.onRollOver()
will call the method in the superclass.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - Missing

problem with the webservice from as is that the sandbox will kick in. it has to be proxied via the server (which then makes the java sollution valid) or you have too hope that they have a crossdomain policy file.

yup. if its in the class path it picks it up (maybe sepy has that ability as well, you just need to configure the classpaths). we even use fdt for our flex 1.5 devlopment, it really is the sheet.
