Re: [Flashcoders] Embed text Problem
Kamal, Best method I guess is to upgrade to flash 8 (at least publish your movies for flash 8 with MTASC for example if you can't buy the flash 8 upgrade), and use the advanced antialiasing system for fonts (see TextField.antiAliasType in the flash 8 API reference for more info). Another method if your text is only static, you may also create it in Photoshop and then export it to an image and load it up in your movie library...

Re: [Flashcoders] ActionScript switch/default syntax and interpretation
First, you have a typo in your switch(): you wrote switch(var) instead of
switch(v).
Second, to avoid any unpredictable result from a switch(), this statement
should look like (according to the MM docs) :
switch(condition){
case A:
break;
case B:
break;
default:
// not mendatory but should always be the last statement
break;
}
Moreover, another good practice is to type variables because the case:
statement uses the strict equality (===) to evaluate the result of the
condition.
So, returning to your problem :
var v:Number = 1;
switch(v){
case 1:
trace(case string 1);
break;
case 1:
trace(case number 1);
break;
default:
trace(default);
break;
}
Obviously outputs : case number 1.
What result do you have?
2006/12/21, strk [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Is this valid ActionScript ?
var v = 1;
switch (var)
{
default:
trace(default);
break;
case 1:
trace(1);
break;
}
What is expected to be traced ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple MCs with the same name
Haydn,
It seems that your code attaches the 'game' under the same instance name
You should test the presence of a previous game and remove it before
attaching a new one:
if (_root.game != undefined) {
_root.game.removeMovieClip();
}
_root.attachMovie(gameMC, game, depth);
Also, it's possible to have several mc with the same name, but you will only
be able to control the first you've created... I guess the for..loop spits
duplicate movieclip names because the internal mc key isn't its name.
2006/12/18, Haydn Ewers [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hey all,
I'm working on a game in Flash 8 using AS2. After the game plays
through twice it appears to attach multiple copies of the 'game'
MovieClip. (The 'game' MovieClip contains the actual gameplay and is
shown after the user makes a selection in the menu.)
If I run this code after the problem starts to occur:
for (var i:String in _root) trace(_root[i]+\t+(typeof
_root[i]));
I get this output:
MAC 8,0,22,0string
_level0.gamemovieclip
_level0.gamemovieclip
_level0.gamemovieclip
This doesn't make sense to me. How can there be multiple MovieClips
with the same name? Does anyone know what could be causing this kind of
behaviour?
Thanks,
Haydn.

Re: [Flashcoders] listing children?
Another way (maybe a smarter and cleaner one):
create an array of children and fill it when you attach the children mc.
var children:Array = [];
function addChild(link:String, name:String, depth:Number){
var child:MovieClip = this.attachMovie(link, name, depth);
children.push(child);
}
and then later in your code:
for (var i:Number = 0; i children.length; i) {
var child:MovieClip = children[i];
// do your child mc manipulations...
}
Hope it helps ;-)

Hi Rich, could you provide some sample code of your Settings class and your xml processing ? 2006/11/16, Rich Rodecker [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, I've got a class named 'Settings' which has a number of properties. Those properties are strongly typed to various types...string, number, boolean, etc. I'm loading in xml in a separate Model class, and then parsing the xml and assigning the that various values in the xml to the properties of the Settings class. However, all the values are being set as a string (that part I expected since I am assigning the values of text nodes, which of course are strings, in the xml to the Setting's properties)...and I'm not getting any parse errors when I try and assign a string to a property that is strongly typed as a number, or boolean.

Re: [Flashcoders] why are my class property's strong typing being ignored?
Thanks Rich ;-)
You don't have compiler errors because you're assigning values to your
singleton by using the square brackets [ ] method. By doing this, at compile
time the compiler doesn't know which property you're trying to modify... The
property can be of any type or can even not exist at all, the compiler won't
bother! ;-)
To solve the problem you can use JSON as Eka previously said, or you can
modify your Settings class and make your xml processing aware of Settings'
property types.
Here is a example:
class com.mysite.model.Settings
{
private static var instance:MySettings;
public var custom_color_3:String;
public var background_image:Boolean;
public var background_type:String;
public var background_alpha:Number;
public var title_mode:String;
/*
* Private constructor
*/
private function MySettings(){
init();
}
/**
* Set the defaults values
* (otherwise properties are seen as 'undefined')
*/
private function init():Void {
custom_color_3 = ;
background_alpha = 0;
background_image = false;
background_type = ;
title_mode = ;
}
// rest of class..
}
function parseSettings(success:Boolean){
var settingsBranch:XMLNode = app_xml.firstChild;
var name:String; // will store the current node name
var value:String; // will store the current node string value
var type:String; // will store Setting's property type
var settingNodes:Array = settingsBranch.childNodes;
// iterate through setting nodes
for(var i:Number = 0; i settingNodes.length; i++){
var settingNode:XMLNode = settingNodes[i];
name = settingNode.nodeName;
value = settingNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
type = typeof(settings[name]);
switch(type){
case number: settings[name] = Number(value); break;
case boolean: settings[name] = (value == 1) ? true : false; break;
default: settings[name]= value; break;
}
}
}
Hope it helps,
Julien

Re: [Flashcoders] push info from server to flash?
The only way to achieve that is to use a socket server and to have the possibility to run it somewhere (some providers offer that).

I need a way for the view (flash client) seen by one user to know when something another user has done has changed the world. I could poll the server regularly with a setInterval, but that seems wasteful of bandwidth. Most of the action in the world will be computed by the clients on their own; they just need to be informed when relatively rare events happen caused by other users. (The creatures who live in the world will keep moving around on their own according to a prescribed behavior, and will just need to be informed when someone does something to them.) Ideally, the creatures would do the same thing in all the users' views, but this would require constant back-and-forth communication with the server.

I am building a flash app that runs on local computers. The app uses LoadVars and sendAndLoad methods to send and load parameters to a distant php page in HTTPS. I have configured the global security panel of the flash player to add the entire folder of my flash application, and I have added a cross domain policy file on the https servers that says allow-access-from domain='*' When I run the application within a browser, the security pop-up appears asking to trust the https location and once it's done, but when I run the .exe file created with ZINC, no pop-up appears and the http status sends a flash error message. I have dicovered that I must install the certificate on my computer in order for my application to work properly. But can I ask every end user to manually install the certificate ? I think it's not really secure to let them know about the https adress nor elegant to make them do this. My questions then are : Is there a way in Actionscript to make the security pop-up appear within the exe application ? Or is there a way to build an installer with ZINC and configure it so that it installs a certificate (.cer) on the destination computer ? or is there a more simple solution ? Will the registration of the https location solve my problem ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Populating Text Fields
CK
You have a scope problem. elements_arr is defined within the onLoad
handler so it won't be accessible from outside (i.e. from your
assignText() function).
You'd better use the static mx.utils.Delegate class to handle the onLoad
event in an easier manner:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var elements_arr:Array = [];
var aquentDoc:XML = new XML();
aquentDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
aquentDoc.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, this.onAquentDocLoad);
aquentDoc.load(xml url here);
function onAquentDocLoad(success:Boolean):Void {
// ... check for success, XML validation parsing...
// now fill your array (elements_arr is available)
elements_arr = aquentDoc.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i elements_arr.length; i++) {
if (elements_arr[i].attributes[id] != null) {
var headers = elements_arr[i].attributes[id];
} else {
var content = elements_arr[i];
}
}
// the array is filled, you can call assignText()
assignText();
}
function assignText() {
for (var p in this) {
if (this[p] instanceof TextField) {
trace(found +this[p]._name);
}
if(this[p]._name == header01_text){
this[p].text=elements_arr[i].attributes[id];
}
}
Hope it helps..

Re: [Flashcoders] vars with $
Another relatively useful use is for flash getters/setters:
class MyClass{
// you can't call this property id
// because of the name of the get/set functions
private var $id:Number;
public function get id():Number {
return $id;
}
// use of p_xx for parametrical variables
public function set id(p_id:Number):Void {
$id = p_id;
}
}
It's up to you to choose between $, p_, _, or mc, txt, or whatever
prefix you like to distinguish things more easily in your code.
For my part, I don't use any prefix except for ui elements ('mc' for
MovieClip, 'txt' for TextField, etc...)
Tom Lee a écrit :
The real benefit to marking parameters is when you use variables within a
function that are defined outside the function. You could make an argument
that it's poor practice to do so, but there it is. I guess you could prefix
every other kind of variable instead. Also, when you are choosing names for
your parameters marking them with some universal prefix is an easy way to
avoid naming collisions.
Does anyone really port ActionScript to PHP and Perl or did you just mean
working in both languages individually?

I have seen others do it, or mark parameters with a p_.
I prefer not to mark parameters in any special way. I mark private
variables with _, so those are already distinct. And if I have a
function that's so long that I can't see the top from somewhere in the
body, it's well past time to cut it down into more manageable chunks.
Plus, using $ makes it more confusing when switching between PHP or
Perl (or another language that uses $ to mark all variables) and
ActionScript.

Re: [Flashcoders] scale9grid how to
Marco,
If I remember well, you must publish your fla in order to test your
scale9 grid. You can't preview the results within the flash editor and
the scale9 guides (the 4 black dashed lines) are just visual helpers.
But, you can easily apply a scale9 grid to any movieclip at runtime,
even if you haven't previously enabled scale9 in the movieclip
properties...
Here is a .fla file to illustrate this:

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 and watch ...
Well, I use it sometimes as an update broadcast mecanism. Let's say I have some value objects floating around, and when I change a property on any of these, I use the watch to broadcast an event if for example the value has changed (by testing the newValue and the oldValue). It can be sometimes useful for some little and simple tasks that don't rely on a heavy process, like applying watches on global vars. Of course, you can do all of this without using the watch function, it's just a matter of design, choice and code comfort :) Julien Stephen Ford a écrit : How often do you use 'watch' in your applications?.

Stephen, you're singleton implemention looks odd to me.
I think it is confusing to access the singleton shared instance by using
a new (which is normally used to create multiple instances of the same
class...). I would advise you to follow the standard singleton
implementation:
class Sampler{
private static var dsInstance:Sampler;
// private constructor
private function Sampler(){
// some initialization code...
}
public static function getInstance():Sampler{
if (dsInstance == undefined) dsInstance = new Sampler();
return dsInstance;
}
}
var sampler:Sampler = Sampler.getInstance();

Re: [Flashcoders] For...in counts backwards?
Well the order of your strings is something subjective...
You should use Array.sort([function]) and create a custom sorting
function that would sort your array the way you want:
var array:Array = [seventy-four, ten, twelve];
function sortByStringLength(a:Object, b:Object):Number {
if (String(a).length String(b).length) return 1;
else if (String(a).length String(b).length) return -1;
return 0;
}
array.sort(sortByStringLength);
for(var i in array) { trace(array[i]); }
outputs:
seventy-four
twelve
ten

Also I wonder, if there is a way to encapsulate the rectangle

have to position it and to change its _width and _height and
wouldn't need to touch its drawing guts (i.e. OOP-encapsulation).
I've tried create a MovieClip symbol and to put this code
into its 1st frame, but that didn't work (nothing was drawn):
_alpha = 50;
moveTo(8, 0);
lineStyle(0, 0xFF, 100);
beginFill(0x008000, 100);
lineTo(_width, 0);
lineTo(_width, _height);
lineTo(0, _height);
lineTo(0, 8);
endFill();

Also I wonder, if there is a way to encapsulate the rectangle
drawing code insided the back_mc MovieClip? Then I'd just
have to position it and to change its _width and _height and
wouldn't need to touch its drawing guts (i.e. OOP-encapsulation).
I've tried create a MovieClip symbol and to put this code
into its 1st frame, but that didn't work (nothing was drawn):
_alpha = 50;
moveTo(8, 0);
lineStyle(0, 0xFF, 100);
beginFill(0x008000, 100);
lineTo(_width, 0);
lineTo(_width, _height);
lineTo(0, _height);
lineTo(0, 8);
endFill();
Thank you

Re: [Flashcoders] Is Object scope lost when using Delegate?
I'm afraid mike but you're wrong.
The MovieClip.onRelease handler doesn't pass any parameter...
From the help files : MovieClip.onRelease = function() {}
What Jeff could do is using a Delegate alternative class that allows him
to pass parameters to the handler, but he can also link his button
movieclips to a class that would dispatch events:
class MenuButton extends MovieClip {
// EventDispatcher mix-in functions here
public function MenuButton(){
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
}
public function onRelease():Void {
dispatchEvent({type:click, target:this});
}
}
class Menu extends MovieClip {
private var btn1:MenuButton
private var btn2:MenuButton
public function Menu(){
btn1.addEventListener(click, Delegate.create(this, onMenuRelease);
btn2.addEventListener(click, Delegate.create(this, onMenuRelease);
}
private function handleEvent(event:Object):Void {
if (event.target == btn1) {
// do some stuff...
btn1.enabled = false;
btn2.enabled = true;
}
if (event.target == btn2) {
// do some stuff...
btn2.enabled = false;
btn1.enabled = true;
}
}
}
mike cann a écrit :
ummm correct me if im wrong but onRelease you are passed an event object
that contains the target of the event?
so:
funciton addChild( txt:String ):Void
{
// make new mc, with a text field and set the txt
myNewMc.onRelease = Delegate( this, onMenuRelease );
{
function onMenuRelease( event:Object):Void
{
event.target.myPropertyOfmyNewMc = somevalue;
}
I could be wrong however...

doing that.
Re: Matt
can you not add your children in a loop?
The children or menu items are added and removed dynamically by
calling add/remove child ( and then I animate them on and off) from
some other class that wants to use the menu

Re: [Flashcoders] Event dispatching, to use or not to use?
Hi Mike,
You can easily achieve this with the EventDispatcher Delegate classes
like this:
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class cMyMenu{
// let's declare static vars for menu states/options
public static var OPTION1_EVENT:String = onOption1;
public static var OPTION2_EVENT:String = onOption2;
// mix-ins functions of EventDispatcher
private function dispatchEvent:Function;
private function removeEventListener:Function;
public function addEventListener:Function;
// menu buttons
private var button1:MovieClip;
private var button2:MovieClip;
// constructor
public function cMyMenu(){
// do the mix-in
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
init();
}
public function onLoad():Void {
// let's wire buttons events with functions and proper scope
button1.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, this.onButton1Click);
button2.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, this.onButton2Click);
}
private function onButton1Click():Void {
// do some menu graphic things like disabling button1, etc...
button1.enabled = false;
button2.enabled = true;
dispatchEvent({type:OPTION1_EVENT, target:this});
}
private function onButton2Click():Void {
// do some menu graphic things..
button2.enabled = false;
button1.enabled = true;
dispatchEvent({type:OPTION2_EVENT, target:this});
}
}
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class cMyGame {
private var menu:cMyMenu;
public function cMyMenu(){
// let's listen to menu events
menu.addEventListener(cMyMenu.OPTION1_EVENT, this);
menu.addEventListener(cMyMenu.OPTION2_EVENT, this);
}
// implements the default event handler called by EventDispatcher
// but we could have create 2 functions named :
// onOption1() for button1 menu event...
// onOption2() for button2 menu event...
private function handleEvent(event:Object):Void {
var type:String = event.type;
switch(type) {
case cMyMenu.OPTION1_EVENT:
// do some stuff here (disable or load a movie...)
break;
case cMyMenu.OPTION2_EVENT:
// do some other stuff (play sound...)
break;
}
}

Hi all,
Im kinda new to the whole event dispatching and listening way of doing
things that the v2 components have introduced me to and would like some
advice on how to go about coding this situation:
Suppose i have a game which is represented by a class cMyGame and within
there i have have my main menu system called cMyMenu. Some code:
class cMyGame
{
private var myMenu;
function cMyGame()
{
myMenu = new cMyMenu();
}
}
class cMyMenu
{
function cMyMenu()
{
{
}
Okay now suppose that inside my menu class i have a load of button
componants to represent the different menu options. When a user clicks one
of the menu options i would like the game to then destroy the main menu (or
atleast hide it) and then go to the option that the user clicked on.
What i would like to know if how the menu system should tell the cMyGame
what to do if the user clicked a button. As i see it there are a coupple of
ways, i could pass a reference to the cMyGame into the constructor then
just
call it like so:
class cMyMenu
{
private var myParent:cMyGame;
function cMyMenu(parent:cMyGame)
{
myParent = parent;
{
function onMenuOption1Released()
{
myParent.doSomething();
}
}
Or the alternative is to use events and listeners so that the game can
listen to events fired by the menu class.
I know this seems like a very basic problem but it is at the core of my
fundemental understanding of how you should scope your project. So if
anyone
could advise me on the best programming practice i should be using it would
be greatly appreciated, thanks :)

Re: [Flashcoders] callBack for Beginners ?
I would suggest to keep the loading of the parameter file simple and
create a ParameterFilesLoader class that would handle a queue of urls to
load in an array.
The class would eventually dispatch state events that your main class
would listen to, and show appropriate message to the user and handle the
state of your app.
Using mx.utils.Delegate and mx.events.EventDispatcher is a good practice
;) Ask me if you need some help building this stuff.
jcanistrum a écrit :

Because depending on how deep this process goes it would be hard to detect

I was expecting that would be possible, but I don´t know how to build
some event like
onAllXmlSucced or
onInitializationSuccess
that would be fired after all this XML reading using for example the Andre

callBack function that would be fired after all the files were successfully
read ???

Better way is you can use the recursion, If your XML files follows same
tags.
As below:-
..
1.. var myParameters:XML = new XML();
2.. myParametersignoreWhite = true;
3.. myParameters.onLoad = function(success)
4.. {
5.. if ( success)
6..{
7..// get the Paramenters from myParameters
8..// begin reading other XML files
9..// wait for them to succed
myParameters.load(Other XML file);
10..// start app
11..}
12.. };
13.. myParameters.load(parameters.xml);

you could daisy-chain function calls when xml documents get their onLoad(

Should the main app be implemented as some kind of OBSERVER pattern

it stays listening to these events ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Animation Engine
It seems to me that you looked at an old version of Moses's Fuse tweening engine. Its official homepage is now at http://mosessupposes.com/Fuse.

[Flashcoders] Event listeners and memory waste...
Hi guys,
I am getting memory problems when I remove and recreate all my objects
several times (the flash player eats up RAM, and I have to minimize it
and maximize to force the garbage collector).There must be something
wrong in the way I destroy my objects :-(
So I am wondering what is the best way to handle event listeners and to
be able to remove the listeners afterwards in order to avoid memory waste...
I've seen on some page that using Delegate (or Lott's Proxy class) is a
good practice, but how do you properly remove the listener when you're
done with the object ?
For example in class A (see below), how do you remove this from
listening to every elements' myevent event in the destroy() method ?
Thanks!
Julien
public classA extends MovieClip {
public function addElement(data:Object):Void {
var elt:CustomMC = attachMovie(Test, test+data.id,
getNextHighestDepth());
elt.addEventListener(myevent, Delegate.create(this,
this.onMyEvent));
elements[data.id] = elt;
}
public function destroy():Void {
for(var i:String in elements){
var elt:CustomMC = elements[i];
// remove listener object... ???
elt.removeMovieClip();
elements[i] = null;
}
}
private function onMyEvent(event:Object):Void {
// handle the event...
}
}

[Flashcoders] Using ARP without Forms?

Re: [Flashcoders] Using ARP without Forms?
hey that's cool :-) I don't know much about .NET Fluorine because my company is more java-oriented. I am developping the flash client from scratch (well no MM components, but intensive use of several frameworks) with the flash IDE (just for fonts and assets such as basic objects/tweens), and eclipse/FDT + MTASC (-keep power!) For the socket communication, I use the Offbeat server (Oregano would have done the job as well) but just as a proxy between clients and the server, which is a custom j2ee webapp... I don't know about the number of lines I wrote, but as the project grows, I think it needs more structure and flexibility (especially when it comes to event management) so that's why I was looking to ARP... Regards, Julien Lee McColl-Sylvester a écrit : What a coinsidence. That happens to be my main app, using Flash and .NET. I was using XML transfers, though I quickly switched to Fluorine once I realised the possibilities. The Flash side of my application uses ARPX and is around 6000 lines of ActionScript now. I use FlashDevelop, so the actual asset side is very very minimal. I find ARPX provides me with a great solid framework that reflects well in the .NET side of my applications.

Re: [Flashcoders] Using ARP without Forms?
Actually, my project was almost structured like an ARP project but I needed some guidelines because the project tends to grow in several directions at the same time :-) In other words, I need more discipline! LOL My flash clients display real time incoming data. AFAIK, flash remoting (I mean OpenAMF, not Flex Data Services) doesn't provide server push... The realtime data is in fact filtered parsed on my project server and relayed to the appropriate flash clients thanks to the socket server. I agree that there are probably other ways to design the application, but well, my chief had to choose for one. Regards, Julien Lee McColl-Sylvester a écrit : That's good. The issue I have with Flash (at least I used to) was knowing where all my coding was. Because of the way Flash is structured, many developers tend to stuff AS into MovieClips instead of keeping a series of root clips / classes. Using ARPX, I can create completely reusable custom controls, while feeding all core functionality back through to the base class using events. It really does make for much cleaner code and makes management of the application far simpler. I'm surprised, though, by your usage of an XML Socket server. Do you have a need for persistent data that session handling won't provide? You should look at OpenAMF for Java remoting. It's what many of the other remoting frameworks were developed against.

Hi list, I am playing around with the Object.watch() function in my custom UI components classes...

Re: [Flashcoders]
2 things:
- your for loop is erroneous... your dt variable isn't used as
expected (increment it in the for statement) and your i variable is
unused and shouldn't be here ;-).
- you should prefix all your textfields with _root as they are created
on _root level.
Change your code as below, and you'll see plenty of textfields :)
for (var dt:Number = 0; dt = 70; dt++) {
dtd = var+dt;
trace (dtd);
trace (dt);
_root.createTextField (dtd, dt, 50+dt, 50+dt, 200, 100);
_root[dtd].text=dr;
_root[dtd].border = true;
_root[dtd].background = true;

var myPart:SomeWorldPartSubclass = new SomeWorldPartSubclass();
myCollection.addItem(myPart);

[Flashcoders] Changing hue/saturation brightness of black clips... ?
Hello coders,
I have some black movieclips in my components that I'd like to skin
(i.e. adjust their hue/saturation brightness) with just one given
color...
Let's say I pass 0xFF to a method that will tint my clips to red
but with some difference in brightness and saturation..
Something like :
function setSkinColor(color:Number):Void {
header_txt.textColor = color;
// less saturation brighter
var cmf1:Array = [ /* some magic numbers */ ];
// more saturation darker
var cmf2:Array = [ /* some magic numbers */ ];
headerBackground_mc.filters = [new ColorMatrixFilter(cmf1)];
background_mc.filters = [new ColorMatrixFilter(cmf2)];
}
Unfortunately, matrixes aren't my cup of tea so instead of playing
around with each parameters, I wanted to know if someone had already
done this or could give me some advices/examples.
Thanks in advance :)

Re: [Flashcoders] How to use DispatchEvent in AS2.0 class
Look at Grant Skinner article on using EventDispatcher:
http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/23.html
Basically you can use EventDispatcher in three ways.
Here are a simple example:
// create an Action instance
var action:Action = new Action();
// create the listeners
var listener1:Listener1 = new Listener1();
var listener2:Listener2 = new Listener2();
var listener3:Listener3 = new Listener3();
// add listeners to the action
action.addEventListener(done, listener1);
action.addEventListener(done, listener2);
action.addEventListener(done, listener3.onDoneEvent);
// trigger events by calling the perform() method
action.perform();
The trace should look like:
Action.perform() called
Listener3.onDoneEvent() : event 'actionDone' received
Listener2.handleEvent(): event 'actionDone' received
Listener2.actionDone(): event 'actionDone' received
Listener1.actionDone() : event 'actionDone' received
-
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class Action {
public var dispatchEvent:Function;
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
private var classname:String;
public function Action(){
// enable class A to dispatch events
// and handle listeners
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
classname = Action;
}
public function get name():String {
return this.classname;
}
public function perform():Void {
// do some stuff
trace(Action.perform() called);
// then dispatch the 'done' event to listeners
dispatchEvent({target:this, type:actionDone});
}
}
-
/*
* Method 1: event is handle by a method whose name is
* the same as the event name.
*/
class Listener1 {
// Event handler for event of type 'done'
public function actionDone(event:Object):Void {
var type:String = String(.type);
trace(Listener1.actionDone(): event '+type+' received);
}
}
-
/*
* Method 2: use of the generic method handleEvent(), which is called by
* default by the EventDispatcher. This method can be useful to catch
* any received events.
* Note that the doneAction() method is also called.
*/
class Listener2 {
public function handleEvent(event:Object):Void {
var type:String = String(event.type);
trace(Listener2.handleEvent(): event '+type+' received);
}
public function actionDone(event:Object):Void {
var type:String = String(event.type);
trace(Listener2.actionDone(): event '+type+' received);
}
}
-
/*
* Method 3: The event is handle by a custom method.
*/
class Listener3 {
public function onDoneEvent(event:Object):Void {
var type:String = String(event.type);

Re: [Flashcoders] Decompile swf to get your own classes
Yes it's a decompiler... Browse to your SWF file in the file explorer, and choose Decompile SWF in the right-click context menu. It should recreate your repository structure of .as files and a actionscript 1 dump in a xml-like .RVML file. Anyway, each time I tried to recover .as files with all the swf tools I could find, the result wasn't perfect and sometimes structure content wasn't exactly like the original and needed some manual editing tweaking, but still better than nothing ;-) Good luck!

Re: [Flashcoders] Swtich Statement issue!?
Dan,
I'm also using the switch with static attributes from other class
without any problems. I guess you have a type error problem.
Check the trace of a strict equality test:
trace(currItem.getMediaType() === VideoVO.SWF_STATE);
If it returns true, then the switch should evaluate properly. If not,
the switch will branch to the default case because the condition and the
case aren't of the same type.
Dan Thomas a écrit :
I have a method that returns a number which I know to be of value 1
I have a static number variable in another class (SWF_STATE) which I
also know to be 1.
In an if() statement they evaluate to equal the same, however in the
following switch statement it will not evaluate?
trace(TYPE:+currItem.getMediaType()+ COMPARED TO: +
VideoVO.SWF_STATE); // this traces TYPE:1 COMPARED TO:1
if(currItem.getMediaType() == VideoVO.SWF_STATE)
{
trace(wtf?!);//this evaluates and traces
}
switch(currItem.getMediaType()) // this switch always traces the
error (default branch)
{
case VideoVO.FLV_STATE:
this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
break;
case VideoVO.SWF_STATE:
this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
break;
case VideoVO.MP3_STATE:
this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
break;
case sometest==VideoVO.JPG_STATE:
this.currentPlayer = swfPlayer;
break;
default:
trace(ERROR: NO MEDIA TYPE!);
}
trace(sometest); // traces 1
trace(VideoVO.SWF_STATE); // traces 1
Any help on this very much appreciated!

Re: [Flashcoders] Function
It doesn't work because of the infamous scope problem.
the this in the function refers to the erase_btn, and var2 is not an
attribute of the button.
You need to use the Delegate:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
erase_btn.onPress = Delegate.create(this, eraseTF);
function eraseTF(){
var2.text = ;
}
Check http://www.osflash.org/flashcoders/as2 to see the different ways
to handle events and for other implementations of the Delegate.
CARABUS mobile+ a écrit :
I done this action :
There is a dynamic textfield (var2), a button (erase_btn)
I want to erase a text, with the onPress action, it doesn¹t
erase_btn.onPress = function() {
this.var2.text = ;
};
And it doesnt work, have U got an idea ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Eclipse/FDT/Subclipse weirdness
Jim, The only files that you don't need to put in version controls are binaries that you can regenerate. You can safely put any other files including .project, .as2_classpath files. I've been doing this since last summer without any problems with SVN subclipse. Have you tried to clean the project with the Project - Clean menu option and/or closing/reopening the project and eclipse? I've had some weird compilation problems once in a while, but I could always recover by cleaning my projects or restarting eclipse (maybe a cache needs to be cleaned). Hope it helps. Julien Jim Kremens a écrit : I have all the latest versions... Here's a question - are there files that I should not put in version control? Like Eclipse's .project file and FDT's .as2_classpath? I've done it both ways and still had the same problems, so I don't think that's the solution. Just curious...

Com Subject: [Flashcoders] Eclipse/FDT/Subclipse weirdness This might be slightly OT, as it doesn't directly deal with code. But it does concern tools of the trade, so here goes... I'm using Eclipse, FDT and Subclipse. Occasionally, a project just 'goes bad.' It seems like something is getting corrupted, and I don't know what it is. Here are the symptoms: Use project for a while - all is fine. Click refresh. Get 'An error occurred during Refresh' message with *no additional information*. (yay error handling!) From this point on, the project is completely shot - you can't do much if you can't refresh... Checking it out again from the repository doesn't work. The only way I can fix the project is to: 1. Detach it and all of its linked libraries from SVN control (and delete SVN information from the system). 2. Delete the project and the libraries it links to from the Eclipse workspace (without deleting all of the files from the system). 3. Re-import the project and various linked libraries, thereby rebuilding the project. Of course, I then lose all of my SVN history. Needless to say, this is really a bummer Anyone experienced anything like this? The key would be the meaningless 'An error occurred during refresh' message.
