Re: [Flashcoders] Setting up loadVars onLoad handler within custom class
I tend not to use Delegate and go for this easier/cleaner alternative
private var scope : ClassName = this ;
this.my_mc.onRelease = function ( ) {
scope.doSomething ( great! ) ;
}
function doSomething ( id : String ) {
trace(what's my id: + id ) ;
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] Setting up loadVars onLoad handler within custom
class
Hey there, I am creating a custom class with a loadVars object that
gets data from a web page. My problem is I can't get my loadVars
object to load! I think I am setting the onLoad handler in the wrong
place. Might anyone have any ideas how I set this inside my custom
class?
Thanks in advance guys!
Danny
Here is my code:
Class VersionChecker{
private var my_lv:LoadVars;
private var xmlAdd:String;
private var browserType:String;
private var ipAddress:String;
//receives url to connect to sets onLoad handler
public function VersionCheck(xmlAddy:String {
xmlAdd = xmlAddy;
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
trace(loaded);
browserType = this.browser;
ipAddress = this.ip;
} else {
trace(load failed);
}
};
startCheck();
}
private function startCheck() {
trace(version checker starting to check:+xmlAdd);
my_lv.load(xmlAdd);
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] flash and Arabic
Has anyone had any experience of using the Flash RTL classes from here: http://www.flashrtl.com/ They seem to be good for Persian, but need porting to other char sets, and a general clean up/re-write. To do this I need to get a better idea of what needs to be converted, the order of words or the order of characters but not words, or both? I guess this is also dependant on the source, for me I'm loading in from XML. It's still early in the project and I'd like to get this nailed down before committing 100% to doing RTL. Help appreciated. Jolyon On 3/29/07, Yehia Shouman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I once emailed Kevin Lynch and the guy generously replied with this: Hi Yehia- Thanks for your note. Right-to-left text support in Flash Player is an important feature, and we know it would be a key addition to the platform. Implementing this feature to deliver the right quality is a fairly big undertaking -- and we also need to factor in cross-platform support, maintaining the stability of the player, and keeping the code size small. All requests for new features are investigated using these same standards as we prioritize features for each release. Product Management is aware of the need for right-to-left text support. Although we cannot provide an exact date for when it will be supported, it is definitely under evaluation. thanks Kevin Flash supports unicode, it just isn't RTL supportive. Furthermore to this issue, if you try to use arabic, you won't be able to get a proper text wrap. There will be compatibility issues on different Windows versions and between Mac, worth saying backward compatibility with older Flash players that knows not of unicode.

Re: [Flashcoders] flash and Arabic
Thanks for the help! In your professional opinion is almost the same good enough or will I need to tweak the char set? So you know I'm only displaying short button labels and headings. The languages I'm going to be needing to display are Arabic and Sorani. I think Sorani is as different to Arabic as Persian is to Arabic, but what do I know? Also we're getting the copy supplied from a translation house, the Project Manager said this will be coming over as pdf. I've got a full copy of Acrobat so hope this shouldn't be a problem. If it is would you recommend any other format for them to supply in? I can't seem to log into the archives, which is frustrating. Cheers again.

If you look back over the archives you'll find a few posts from me on this subject. For display purposes you may find these classes are enough for you - Persian and standard Arabic are almost the same in terms of the character set, and Hebrew is much simpler (just plain bidirectional).

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] loading external movie, then attachMovie items of IT's library?
Not so much with loadMovie, I don't think. However if you use swfmill to inject the swf at compile time you can then use attachMovie on it and any subsequent clips within it. The above assumes you're using eclipse with MTASC and swfmill :-| If you're not head on over to osflash.org.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] math for getting textField's line number? ie height/(font.size+font.leading) ??
Flash/CSS/Photoshop/et al accept negative values for leading and kerning. 0 is your baseline negative pulls tighter positive pushes looser.

Re: [Flashcoders] exporting dynamic swf art to other apps
This is a method used a lot by Joshua Davis, I took his FITC boot camp course and no, you can't retain the alpha values and presumably filter (not tried w/filters). I think you'll find that because the alpha and filter properties are applied at run-time the pdf you output will only embed the standard library symbols without any of this information. Also, you might find you get better result printing as .ps files, Illustrator will like them more than pdf but it still won't solve your problem, sadly. Jolyon PS.

I know you can export from the IDE but since everything I'm using is dynamic I can't use those functions. My current best method is to print the swf to a pdf from the player and open that pdf in Illustrator. Unfortunatly I lose all my alpha and filter data in this process, and since I might have 1000 or more instances in my export those values are nearly impossible to recreate. I've tried adjusting the pdf settings but I haven't found the right combo yet. Does anybody here know of a method to export still frames (I'm not trying to export video or motion here) from the swf in a vector format? This issue has been nagging me for quite a while now, and I haven't found any tutorials or tips online on how to do it. I'd really appreciate any feedback from this forum.
