That is a relative url. So the videos need to be in the same directory as the

Was it my url that didn't work? It worked on my iPhone. I do not have an iPad

If I were sniffing the userAgent string for a browser version I would agree
with you. My script has survived three iPhones so far. :) But I will look

This problem has been solved by JS developers, and it's called feature
detection. Instead of relying upon user agent sniffing, check whether the
browser supports video tags.
This library is all you need. http://modernizr.com/
Then you can simply do:
if(Modernizr.video){

Ah, in that case switch it. video width=100% height=100% controls object data=jack_giant.mp4 width=100% height=100% embed src=jack_giant.swf width=100% height=100% /object source src=jack_giant.mp4 type=video/mp4 source src=jack_giant.ogg type=video/ogg source src=jack_giant.webm type=video/webm /video Not 100% sure if that will actually do it, hadn't tested, but my understanding is it loads the first viable solution in the DOM chain so it should hit the object before source of the video tag and if the object and embed don't fire, then it would find the source tags.

Re: [Flashcoders] Html coding: video for iPad and Flash on one page
Well, it may not be the best solution, but technically my code is not sniffing
the userAgent the way your implying, it's sniffing for a device name in the
userAgent string. Doesn't matter what version of iPhone you have because the
name iPhone will always be in the userAgent string for a web browser on an
iPhone. Same with the name windows, android, Symbian etc etc. If I were
sniffing the userAgent string for a browser version I would agree with you. My
script has survived three iPhones so far. :) But I will look into your
suggestion. Thank you.

Do not sniff for user agents! What will your code do when someone uses the

not predict what user agent strings will look like in the future, and are
bound to serve up the wrong content to the wrong people.
This problem has been solved by JS developers, and it's called feature
detection. Instead of relying upon user agent sniffing, check whether the
browser supports video tags.
This library is all you need. http://modernizr.com/
Then you can simply do:

When you wish to expand the ad you can expand the mask to cover the larger area after calling the advertising API to tell it to expand the HTML element that encloses the flash area.

Re: [Flashcoders] IOS Flash question
I have emailed with attachments, but it involved a PHP file that put the email together and attached the file as base64 then sent it on its way. Might be a good approach for you as well. Then you can just have your iOS app send just a form request. PDF attachments can get tricky though. Sometimes the encryption messes with the layout of the PDF. As long as it wasn't a really complex PDF it sent no problem, but mine were custom layouts with graphics and tables, etc. I did get it to work finally though. Once emailed, the customer could view the PDF in their email automatically with the built in PDF viewer in the iOS.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 finally..
Thanks Ktu. That actually makes sense. I was not looking for a reason
necessarily to use a private class, but more so, saw this example and had the
though this must be a private class and wanted to verify for my own
understanding. Which you have provided. I see and understand what you mean by
it is not the most necessary thing to create a private namespace class and that
I will more then likely be able to accomplish what i need through regular
classes and never need to set a private class up. Thank you for the
clarification.
Well. Finished Perkins, on to Moock.

yes. this is an example of a private class. but as someone earlier
mentioned, you shouldn't ever _need_ to use them. and it would be more
appropriate not to use them in production code. using the internal
namespace gives you some restriction, and you could even use your own
namespace for restriction but that's quite uncommon as well.
for reference..
- you cannot add a namespace to this 'private' class and should result in
a compile error if you do. (ex. public class CustomClient) therefore, it
must always be defined as 'class ClassName' with no namespace.
- any classes that you need within this 'private' class must be imported
outside the package
package com {
// code
}
import flash.display.Sprite
class MySprite {
// code
}
- and if some outside object gets a reference to it, you should be able to
access public functions and properties so long as you do not try to cast
the object as anything other than Object.
in my experience, i have yet to feel the need for a pseudo 'private' class.
the internal namespace serves me well most and in a few occasions a custom
namespace was required.
good luck :)

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 finally..
This is very interesting to me. I don't know how that all works in a real-case scenario yet, but I will. ;) When I get into design patterns I think I may revisit this post. Thanks Kevin. Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com On May 21, 2013, at 5:51 PM, Kevin Newman wrote: Why? The answer has to do with Adobe's adherence to the ECMAScript working standard that they were basing AS3 on. At the time (before the ECMAScript 4 process fell apart), the body determined that private constructors were not needed, so adobe built this restriction into AS3. Private constructors aren't useless, particularly for single pattern. With a private constructor, you can instantiate the class from within itself, assign it to a private class (static) property, and then expose the single instance through a public class (static) getter function. You'd be protected from every other way to instantiate the class. There are ways to do singleton without it, they are just more of a pain. Like taking an instance of a key class in the constructor, where the Key class is defined in the local class file scope chain. Since nothing else will have access to that Key class except your singleton class, you can use that as a nice locking mechanism. I can't think of any use for private class off the top of my head, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Kevin N.

[Flashcoders] AS3 finally..
Hello fellow Flashers,
Been a while. Ok, its time. I am now going to learn AS3 for real.. lol
I know I know... please no comments from the peanut gallery.
I am also making my first AS3 lesson an iPhone app. Whoo hoo! (Im a glutton for
punishment I guess)
So, I will have some more questions regarding that process here in the near
future I am sure.
My first question.
What is the purpose of void versus Void? When do you use void and Void
and when is it not needed or wise to use void on a function? I may have asked
this a few years ago, but can not find any of the emails, so if its a duplicate
I apologize.
IE
function someFunc():void
{
//do something
}
function someFunc():Void
{
//do something
}
function someFunc() {
//do something
}
If I understand correctly, to use void, your function can not return any
values? It can only manipulate things?
I don't fully understand Void with a Cap V, so will need enlightenment.
To have a function return a value with the return statement, void should be
voided?? (sry. had to)
If you want to answer directly, please, be my guest. If you want to send me
somewhere to learn, by all means. I'll take what I can get.
Hopefully my being a newbie and asking questions right now will fervor some
lost zeal in some people and they will want to help me. :)
(fingers crossed)

Re: [Flashcoders] Adobe Flash future
This is probably a moot point, but being the platform flash is and its ability to manipulate objects and apply code to the interactions of the objects in an easy user friendly layout, it would seem that Adobe would look into enabling flash to pick if it used ActionScript or Javascript or even a jQuery port. Along with choosing a flash stage or a DOM stage. I for one would relish in the ability to use flash as a html creator, html5, DHTML or otherwise. Being able to layout HTML DOM elements the same way as a movieclip, or adding DHTML timelines inside a DIV and having flash export the files to make it work in every browser. That would be epic. Its not about the language or the file it exports, for me, Flash the application is just a superlative website creation tool. SWF or not. In the past flash came in and did what HTML could not. Ok, so you lead the pack for a while and they caught up. So now join the pack and take it to the next level. That's what Flash is/was about... t! he next level. 2¢ Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com On May 14, 2013, at 4:55 AM, David Hunter wrote: I think the fact that this list is pretty inactive says it all.

Re: [Flashcoders] loadvar call to asp fail
Well remember. It could be your users connection, computer or browser that
isn't working properly also. Do you have error checks where the data is being
send and received? When the database is read, updated? Or when a certain part
of the page loads? You can block entry yourself notifying the user of a wrong
browser or blocked connection like through a proxy server. Etc. If not, set
those up and have the results silently write to a log file of your own that you
can check or even set up the error to be emailed silently to yourself when it
happens. I've done this in PHP, not ASP but I'm thinking that is the most basic
stuff so you could probably find resources or example code on the net.

a sql table(tb1), and the sum of the corrected questions on a 2nd table (tb2).
the code:
I call the asp page using the following code:
lvQuizSnd.sendAndLoad(tempPath + asp/gravar.asp,lvQuizRec,POST);
lvQuizRec.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success){
//page accessed ok
}else{
_root.reportError(rodr...@aaa.com,erro
acessando asp, strDadosEnviados);
}
}
the problem:
I have some users that answers all the 30 questions, but on tb1 (the one that
should record all the answrrs) I see LESS records than 30, it may be 10, 20
or 2.
And I know that the user answered all the questions because i have his total
score (on tb2) that let´s say is 30. he got all right, so I MUST have 30
records on tb1, and THIS IS NOT HAPPENING
I wasnt able to simulate the error. everytime I try to answr I get all the
answers recorded.
I want some hints on WHY this is hapening. if it's a problem
CONNECTING/ACESSING the ASP page as the code implies what could it be?
- too many connections at the same time?
- drop packages?
- timeout?
*what* could I check on server (maybe a log) to see if a request to a asp
page is not attended, dropped, blocked
my crap isp is not helping and it just say that the server is normal, which
obviously is NOT.
Any help/insight will be much appreciated

Re: [Flashcoders] 3D engine for dynamic text
Looks like its mature enough. It exports ActionScript for you at least. Probably a really good option if your into game development. Amazing graphic engine IMO. Only problem I see is the fact that your swf will play a little slower than a native Unity export. But if its giving you the code that runs the game in ActionScript, you may be able to tweak the code and optimize it to run better. Plus if you find out how to optimize their code, they may pay you for that knowledge since that is what they are working on as well. Just a thought.. :) http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/flash-gettingstarted.html Also, @Jason For your other thread, they have a conference of their own. Don't know if its something of interest, but you can read up and decide that one yourself. http://unity3d.com/unite/unite2013 Best, Karl On Jan 14, 2013, at 11:37 PM, Claudio M. E.

Re: [Flashcoders] pull in html section to Flash
Hi Natalia, Well I know of an AS2 way of doing it, but not AS3. Someone may be able to shed some light on that for you. You can get data from a database with a server side language like PHP or ASP and send the data to flash. Again, I am rusty at AS3. I have successfully done such with AS2 so I know it can be done. I even think that it was as easy as an echo() from PHP back to my flash site with a loadVariable() function in flash. But dont quote me. Has been a little while. :) Plenty of google questions on this. google.. flash AS3 to PHP example PHP to flash AS3 example Might yield just what your looking for. Substitute ASP for PHP if that is your server language. HTH, Best, Karl On Nov 21, 2012, at 1:44 AM, natalia Vikhtinskaya wrote: Thank you Karl Some more questions: 1.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3
Yeah the css thing got me for a while.
$('#myElement').css('top', '0px');
$('#myElement').css('left', '0px');
or
$('#myElement').css('top', '0px').css('left', '0px');
or
$('#myElement').css({'top':'100px', 'left': '0px'});
Does the same thing.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3
Well, got an update on the progress. First off, thank you all for your participation in helping me with my problem. Unfortunately this was a case of epic fail on my part. movieClipOverButtonitis was the disease. Seems the frame MC I had over the scene was blocking my button, so the code I wrote originally, now works. Instead I took the hole the frame made for the scene to show through. Filled it with red, deleted the frame and used the red box to mask the scene. Same effect, just no movieClip in the way... _ So if I wasted anyones time with this question, I deeply apologize. Thanks again people... YOU ROCK!

If you do that, you end up with an AS3 fla that doesn't have the right settings in the AS3 Properties panel. You won't have automatically declare stage instance set, or strict mode (you want both). Also, to get actual line numbers with errors, you'll need to check allow debugging in publish settings - I know it sounds like it's a permissions thing, but it really enables debugging symbols to be embedded in the swf, so that when you get an error, you'll actually get a useful error number with it.

{ changeSelect(1); });
button2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function()
{ changeSelect(2); });
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function()
{ toggleB1(2); });
button2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function()
{ toggleB2(2); });
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, function()
{ toggleB1(1); });
button2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, function()
{ toggleB2(1); });
function changeSelect(p):void {
switch (p) {
case 1:
this.gotoAndStop(divinedivers); //goto frame divinedivers in this
MC
break;
case 2:
this.gotoAndStop(scubadudes); //got frame scubadudes
in this MC
break;
}
}
function toggleB1(f):void {
button1_btn.gotoAndStop(f); //toggle this button MC frame
}
function toggleB2(f):void {
button2_btn.gotoAndStop(f); //toggle this button MC frame
}
Why does AS3 have to make things so difficult for something so simple??
What the heck am I doing wrong???
Also, how do you use just a button instead of a mc?
I tried using just a button and it wouldn't even switch to the over
state that is inside the button!!?
AS2 is just so much more simple... sigh*

Hi Karl,
jus keep breathin;), this will pass and you'll never go back to as2

Anyway on subject, have you tried out the standard SimpleButton class?
If it doesnt fit your need, why not, maybe we can help with that,
but that class should work for most simple cases.
In addition, do you still use the Flash IDE? Since as3 offers so
many options, here is just one of the possible ones that might fit
your workflow:
- create a basic button class, put all the buttonMode, handCursor
etc stuff in there
- add the eventlistener mumbojumbo in there as well, in short
everything to create a button
- if you want to implement the functionality for different states
such as _up, _down etc go ahead and do so
Now create a movieclip with timeline states _up, _down etc, and
specify your button class as base class for this clip:
-voila a button, you can do this with as many buttons as you like
Of course if you'd rather keep the assets external that is possible
as well, but it might require a slightly different setup.

Sometimes (depending on what your buttons do), it seems rather
artificial to have to fabricate a stand-alone function to handle an
event when the action required is very simple.
I used to always create named event handler functions and realised
I was adopting some fixed pattern that was actually obfuscating my
code unnecessarily in some situations.
The OP was using an event handler simply to control the timeline
and manufacturing a named function to do this very specific thing
seems unnecessary. With an inline function you can see straight off
what happens when the event is handled, without looking up the
handler function to see what it does.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3
Thank you Cor!
The buttons are MCs placed on the stage. At first they were Buttons,
but when they wouldn't change even the states within the Button, so I
converted them to MCs.
Also, what does the
, false, 0, true);
do? Does it have to do with removing the listener?
uhg im not going to sleep well tonight.
Being that this is a clients FLA, I am not able to email my FLA.
Will try your suggestions and let you know. Thank you!

Hi Karl,
Hahahaha, AS3 is very much easier then AS2.
But can be a little tricky to grasp when you are switching.
Believe me, once you see the structure, you don't understand that
AS2 has ever existed.
First the Q: How do you use a button instead of a MC.
There is no difference, they are both Objects with each some specific
properties.
The button is in fact a movieclip with just a timeline of 4 states.
I recommend never to use Flash Components(!).
Create youre own button or movieclip.
When you create a graphic and transform (F8) it into a Symbol you
can choose to
set it as a MC or Button.
I prefer MC always and write my own class to deal with the states.
I will send you some examples in a following mail.
In this mail I will address your code problem as is.
I always look at code to see if something is redundant.
So if there is ANYTHING I discover is present more then once, I
create something
so there is only 1 of it, and reuse that as often as needed.
In your case I can't see if the buttons are put on stage phisically
or with
code.
I always use code only, my stage stays empty and I have no frames on
the
timeline!
My guess is that in this case the buttons are already on the stage,
so I will
set the code as follows:
//put all the button names in this array
var aButtons:Array = [ button1_btn, button2_btn];
var idx:int = -1; //no button selected yet
for (var i:uint = 0; i aButtons.length; ++i){
aButtons[i].buttonMode = true;
aButtons[i]..mouseChildren = false;
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickHandler,
false, 0,
true);
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOverHandler,
false, 0,
true);
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnOutHandler,
false, 0,
true);
}
function btnClickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void{
//get the position in the array of the clicked button
idx = aButtons.indexof(e.target);
switch (idx) {
case 0:
this.gotoAndStop(divinedivers); //goto frame divinedivers in this
MC
break;
case 1:
this.gotoAndStop(scubadudes); //got frame scubadudes in this MC
break;
}
}
function btnOverHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
//get the position in the array of the clicked button
idx = aButtons.indexof(e.target);
//RENAME THE FRAME TO 'over' !!
aButtons[idx].gotoAndStop(over); //toggle this button MC frame
}
function btnOutHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
//get the position in the array of the clicked button
idx = aButtons.indexof(e.target);
//RENAME THE FRAME TO 'out' !!
aButtons[idx].gotoAndStop(out); //toggle this button MC frame
}
I typed this instantly in this mail, so watch for a possible typo?
I go to dinner now, and create and send the promised examples after
that.
If you have problems with the code above, please tell me.
For simplicity, I suggest mailing a FLA to eachother.

If you are creating and removing a lot of buttons, I'd skip

I mean. Will this = divers_btn? or do I HAVE to specify
divers_btn.gotoAndStop()?
After all I am applying the listener to it.
@jason Not that I am going to continue with annon functions, just
currious.
Basically, I am trying to set up the listener for the buttons to be
generic for the buttons hover states.
Then specify data for the click state per button.
So if
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, toggleB1(1));
doesnt work, how do I specify which frame to move to.
Trying to set up a toggle if you will. I DONT want to have to create a
function for EVERY state for EVERY button I have.
That just seems stupid to me to have to do. Very bloated IMO.

AS2 is just so much more

Thanks Henrik, Well for this, there are two buttons on stage. When you hover over one it makes a message appear, if the other another message appears. So if I dont use those, your saying that when I roll out, the listener is removed automatically?

I am saying that the last argument to addEventListener becomes irrelevant. the argument only matters if the listener function has captured a reference to its original scope (shown as savedThis in the debugger) (the class instance it came from) AND the original scope has no more live references to it AND the listened to object is live. This is irrelevant, since in nearly all cases the original scope was the one who created the listened to object in the first place and as such both will die at the same time. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] AS3
Ok, I tried suggestions and things are still not working. The hand
cursor doesn't even show.
Here is the set up
Scene 2 -
frame 1 :
Main MC - Scene2MC
frame 96:
Layer 1 : (Actions were working on)
Layer 2: button1_btn
Layer 3: button2_btn
with the way I am referencing button1_btn and button2_btn, could it be
that they are not recieving the scope?
Do I need to point them like
this.Scene2MC.button1_btn.addListener(...
I thought not, because the actions and the button are inside Scene2MC
I may just have to pass on this job. I cant even get buttons to work..

I mean. Will this = divers_btn? or do I HAVE to specify
divers_btn.gotoAndStop()?
After all I am applying the listener to it.
@jason Not that I am going to continue with annon functions, just
currious.
Basically, I am trying to set up the listener for the buttons to be
generic for the buttons hover states.
Then specify data for the click state per button.
So if
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, toggleB1(1));
doesnt work, how do I specify which frame to move to.
Trying to set up a toggle if you will. I DONT want to have to create
a function for EVERY state for EVERY button I have.
That just seems stupid to me to have to do. Very bloated IMO.

Hi Karl,
when you are starting with as3: whatever works :)).
Basically both will work (anon and nonanon (double wow)), but
anonymous is harder (read impossible) to remove.
So if you create a view that exists throughout the lifetime of the
app, with buttons that do the same, either way will work.
If you are creating and removing a lot of buttons, I'd skip
anonymous, and nicely removely the listeners when done.
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, toggleB1(1));
will not work because you are registering the result of the
toggleB1(1) call, which in most cases will not be a function
reference.
What you wanted to do is something like the old as2 proxy or
delegate call, which you can recreate in as3 and would result in
something like:
button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, Proxy.create
(toggleB1, [1]));
Thing is, as3 is going to pass event objects as arguments as well,
so this is getting more complicated than its worth real fast.
But I would do myself a favor and pick up actionscript 3
essentials and actionscript 3 cookbook. Doesn't take too long to
get through them and saves you a lot and a lt of
frustration :)

Anyway on subject, have you tried out the standard SimpleButton

If it doesnt fit your need, why not, maybe we can help with that,
but that class should work for most simple cases.
In addition, do you still use the Flash IDE? Since as3 offers so
many options, here is just one of the possible ones that might fit
your workflow:
- create a basic button class, put all the buttonMode, handCursor
etc stuff in there
- add the eventlistener mumbojumbo in there as well, in short
everything to create a button
- if you want to implement the functionality for different states
such as _up, _down etc go ahead and do so
Now create a movieclip with timeline states _up, _down etc, and
specify your button class as base class for this clip:
-voila a button, you can do this with as many buttons as you like
Of course if you'd rather keep the assets external that is
possible as well, but it might require a slightly different setup.

With SOME of the fault in the way flash handles things. So yeah +1 on the money grab idea. As far as vector.

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript lives on.
Well in my understanding from starting with Flash 5. HTML and javascript could not do what Flash was doing and that made it all the rage. Now that HTML (so to speak) has caught up, I think Flash would do a great service and join in if you will. Just because they turn you down, doesn't mean you don't try again. I think that Adobe could make Actionscript better than Javascript and jQuery AND you would still be able to use the Flash program to create things like you did for the plugin phase of Flash. Just this time it exports HTML instead of SWF. I think the power of Actionscript would make a superb DOM manipulator, especially for its OOP capabilities. But alas, you are probably right. I just wanted, more so, to get it off my chest... If I had the money to buy Flash from Adobe, that is what I would do with it. It makes sense to me. Its probably what Flash should have done in the first place instead of creating a plugin env.

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript lives on.
Unfortunately the problem is pixels themselves. With higher res screens the desire for clean imagery is greater. So with pixels, they have to be set at there largest size at 72 DPI. So this means with zoomed material you have to have multiple images set at their largest size per device otherwise zooming gets pixelated (dividing one pixel into two). Thus to achieve a clean image, your one pixel increases exponentially in file size. With vector, it's a little more math to describe 1 size that then is scaleable. Now you can go the route of one middle sized image and allow some pixelation on larger screens and over processing on some smaller screens. But to truly get the cleanest fastest pixel based image on all devices and screen you have to have I'd say at least 3-5 different files. Each a different size. Seems like a lot of overhead to me. Also, I always wondered why postscript wasn't utilized in HTML image and font rendering. Seems to me that postscript would fit nicely unless I am not understanding postscript. But now I am OT. Guess to get back OT I'd just say I loved how Flash handled vector. I could design in Adobe Illustrator or fireworks, be able to scale what ever size I wanted and export to flash. It was soo easy on bandwidth as far as my experiences went with the projects I did. In a world of trying to fit a banner ad with all it's animations and graphics audio and possibly video under 100K I utilized vector 8 out of 10 times to reduce file sizes. Karl Sent from losPhone On Sep 18, 2012, at 11:57 AM, John McCormack j...@easypeasy.co.uk wrote: Henrick I do agree with you that Flash's vector graphics would save a lot of bandwidth. What I meant was that if you download a bitmap the effect on battery life would be the same for Flash, HTML5 and JS, so the argument about Flash didn't stand up. On this vector vs bitmaps thing... For an image with just a single pixel (4 bytes + header) the demand on the CPU would far less than if you used vector data. For an image in which encoding is not used, a single 640x480 image has 307,200 pixels at 4 bytes per pixel = 1MB plus but, of course, you couldn't describe it with vectors. The effect on battery life of this is image dependent, not language dependent. As far as I can recall, with higher demand the CPU goes faster causing more logical state changes per second and whenever a logical bit changes state the transistors in the chips momentarily pass excess current and that's why the CPU uses more power and gets hot. The same happens with overclocking. Of course vectors are great for scaled images and if JS and HTML5 don't do those as well as Flash they won't be as good zoomed in.

function mysqlToHTMLFormat($encoded) {
//for echoing the data FROM mysql
$my_html = html_entity_decode(stripslashes($encoded));
return $my_html;

Not that it matters all the time, but I stay away from php variables
that
are the same name as a code in any other lang. IE String or HTML.

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML in Datagrid component
Hi Cor,
The side effects of using double and single together on one string
can produce unexpected results with escaped or non-escaped data that
goes in the string.
For example:
This works
$string = this is a string for bob's database;
or this will to
$string = 'this is a string for bob\'s database';
notice you have to escape the single quote in bob's or it will break.
or this will work to
$string = this is a string for \The Super\ database;
notice you have to escape the double quotes in The Super or it will
break.
or this
$string = 'this is a string for The Super database';
works. however this
$var = bob's;
$string = 'this is a string for .$var. database';
will not, it will break on $var because the single quote in bob's is
not escaped.
but if it was
$var = bob's;
$string = this is a string for .$var. database;
it would work. Õ.õ .. ack!
What ever you start and end the string with be it single or double,
continue those when wrapping $var inbetween and if there is that same
single or double quote inside the $var,
make sure it is escaped.
however, if you use double quotes, you dont have to put the quotes
around .$var.
.. I and many other programers do that for clean code so as to not
loose where $var is in the string.
but it could be
$string = this is a string for $var database;
but if I did something like this
$string = 'this is a string for $var database';
it doesn't work for me. not sure why, but I think its because with
single quotes,
the dollar symbol gets equated as a string literal and not the
beginning of a php var.
very strange in my opinion how strings work in php. very picky. :)
Also, when I make a call to the database, I always use
mysql_real_escape_string() inside the actual sql statement for
security reasons.
..but alas, all this may not be your problem.
Try echoing the data before the sql statement is created,
after the sql statement is created but before calling the database
and after retreival from the database to compare what is in the string.
Also look inside the database to see what actually gets inserted.
Might even go as far as making sure the table cel is not escaping data
on its own.
Like an escape data setting or something. You might find that your
data is getting double escaped. :P
Totally reaching on that one, but you would be surprised at some of
the stuff I've seen.. lol
WC3 is very good too, but for php stuff I always go with php.net. More
thurough in my opinion.
Plus the user comments from people in the field where they find bugs,
test code and such has helped me emensly.
Did my code work for you? I'm thinking you would have said something
if it did. :-/
Good luck!

Karl

Hello Karl,
Because the code is never to be reused, I have put it all-in-one.
But I agree on creating separate functions.
Before I go into that I would like to solve my datagrid issue first.
I thought using it is common to use double quotes when handling
strings and
single quotes when code needs to be parsed?
Are there side effects to be expected when using only single quotes?
From php.net is where I have got this so far.
Also http://www.w3schools.com is very helpful.
Thanks very much for all your help!!!

Hey Cor,
One thing I noticed was the string $xmlOutput was switching between
single
and double quotes. Probably want to stick to one or the other.
Excuse the re-write, but this is how I would write that php.
Don't know if it works as I can not test, but try this code and let
me know
what you get.
Also, you may want to separate each call to the database into separate
functions.
IE:
function getProjects() {
}
function getUserData() {
}
function getMaterials() {
}
$projects = getProjects();
$userdata = getUserData();
$materials = getMaterials();
etc..
then have a function that puts together the XML results.
function createXML($projects, $userdata, $materials) {
}
Your call on that though.
If the code I gave does not work, try taking a look here to see if you
can find a solution for the special characters.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php
php.net is gold! Best of luck!
:)
Hope everybody doesn't mind the php convo being a flash list.
If so message me personally Cor.
//CODE --
?php
/ Read Project /
if (isset($_POST['sendRequest']) $_POST['sendRequest'] ==

Re: [Flashcoders] Fonts taking up too much space

You should be able to find a user account plugin for whatever framework you're working with to manage this for you. Ideally find one that integrates with facebook to make your life easier. The client shouldn't communicate with Facebook directly, except to get publicly available data, such as a small profile pic of any user. Background: * You as a developer create an App on Facebook, specifying the permission the app should have, eg. see friend lists, create events, read messages, post on wall etc. (for some reason you also specify this when you connect to the facebook servers, not sure why...). Facebook then issues you with an API key/ secret for your app. You can recreate this if it becomes compromised in some way. * Your server holds the facebook API key. 1. Client talks to your server and asks to login/authenticate. 2. Your server redirects client to Facebook, with a login request for your app and a list of permissions (again, not sure why this needs to be repeated, possibly because you're allowed to request a subset of permissions). 3. Facebook presents the app name and a list of desired permissions and asks the user to agree. The screen used to do this changes all the time, which is quite annoying, they don't seem to have worked out an ideal presentation for it yet. 4. If the user accepts, your app gets notified (probably by the user, although it might be by facebook) and the user is redirected to your site. At any rate. you now have a user token that can be used to connect to facebook to enquire about the user. 5. At any point in time, using a combination of your API key and the user token your server can access the permissions the user granted you, by contacting facebook directly. If you release the API key, at the very least, someone can masquerade as your app. They may be able to access data for users they don't have a token for, not sure about that. And one more fun thing we found out the other day - if a user changes their password, the token will change, and your app needs to have some mechanism for updating it, or the user will likely hit a 500 error.

Eg the client would need some way to uniquely id itself to the server, lest the server give out this data to anyone which is kind of the same as making your api key public?. The client could be decompiled etc etc, referrers can be faked.. is there some kind of standard setup that you know of that prevents this? My guess it would benefit Paul as well as the rest of us (me;)). regards, Hans On 31-5-2012 18:00, Henrik Andersson wrote: The idea is obviously to let your server be the one who asks the Facebook servers for the data, meaning that the only possible attack points are the server itself and the connection.

Re: [Flashcoders] Get Timezone City?
You could always prompt your user to enter their city if your needing
specifics. Getting the city from the time zone is a bit general. Getting the
city by ip can also get a little misleading since ips can be spoofed or you
could end up getting their ISPs ip or if it's a virtual machine. But that's my
experience. Someone may have a solution I'm not aware of.

Well,

I've done some more digging, and it may not even be related to the

there may be a deeper, or prior, problem.

So if only the view cares about the valid email address, you can do so in the view, otherwise move the logic to the controller. It also depends on how strict you are about what a view can / cannot do. Some people (and frameworks) prefer to have no logic whatsoever in the view (dumb view) and have all the logic in the controller or in a go-between pattern: Observer / Mediator / Presenter - whichever fits their need.

Re: [Flashcoders] MVC style Correction
@Ross The more and more we all talk about this, and I get to see examples, the more I would like to see a working example of yours. I really like the simplicity and flow of your idea and with your permission, like to try out your style of MVC based off your example. My idea is to leverage the MVC into just 3 classes M: V: and C: and nothing more. (I am probably crazy but this little itch I have now will not go away) But because I have a disconnect on how the MVC is applied to an actual application I can not get grips on where to start. I feel that ANY actionscript one creates should be simplistic in nature and I feel that for any project you can fit everything into just a model a view or a controller. Or at least I'd like to try and test my theory... :) Please dont call me crazy, you'll just be spinning your SWFWheels. PS: by no means am I saying that anyone else's examples are crude or wrong. I have no stance to say such. Just a heart felt feeling I have that amongst the confusion of how its done correctly, there is a simplistic solution that everyone may be overlooking. That NEO if you will. On Mar 5, 2012, at 6:05 PM, Karl DeSaulniers wrote: Thanks Cor. On Mar 5, 2012, at 4:26 AM, Cor wrote: @Karl, I just created my first MVC and it is still in progress...

You start with one model, controller, and view, add features to each in parallel, and as each class gets too big, you break them out into subcontrollers, submodels, and subviews. Then sub-sub. My projects have a triple-tree structure branching out from the core model, controller, and view classes finer granularity as you reach further in, and always broken into M, V, and C: Models contain properties only. they dispatch a CHANGE Event every time one of their properties change,. Views display properties of the model. they listen for the CHANGE Event, and update their appearance with the new values stored in the model every time it changes. Controllers manipulate properties of the model. Whether trigger by event handlers in the views, or internal timers or network activity, any command that sets any value of any property of the model is placed in a controller. Controllers might use other controllers to trigger changes in submodels outside its subdomain the project starts off very compact, then grows with its functionality as required, always growing out from the center so you never paint yourself into a corner then later to optimize, you can get specific about which submodel a particular view is listening to, in turn limiting the number of change events it receives to those actually represented in the view. all subcontrollers hold a reference to the root controller, so it is easy to target any node on the controller tree from anywhere inside of it. same with the model tree. some submodel properties can emit the CHANGE Event only on a local level, and not send the event up the hierarchy, isolating the scope of view updates An MVC Example FLVPlayback is an interesting MVC component: it holds a NetStream as a model of the video it holds a Video as a view of the Video It acts as controller to set the model in motion by connecting it to a stream the ui is also a view of the video: the percent elapsed is represented n the scrub bar, ther is a play button while paused, a pause button while playing, then there are the time readouts.. if the video its playing, the user clicks pause in the view, it tells the controller to pause the stream in the model, which notifies the views, so the Video is paused, and pause button becomes a play button. thats how i do MVC. data is stored in mvc.models, data is displayed in mvc.views, and data is manipulated in mvc.controllers.

Re: [Flashcoders] MVC style Correction
Forgive me if I am wrong, but I watched that video and it confused me.
The gentleman started creating the view first then made the model and
had the interaction between the two
then went and created the controller and in creating the controller
took away some code from the view that the
model handled and gave it to the controller. He also had the view
having reference to the model and controller.
var model:Model = new Model();
var controller:Controller = new Controller(model);
var view:View = new View(model, controller);
shouldn't it be..
var controller:Controller = new Controller();
var model:Model = new Model(controller);
var view:View = new View(model);
?
Trying to wrap my head around this.
Thanks for this video though Cor!

var view:View = new View(model, controller,

To check if I understand you correctly, you would do something like
this:
var model:Model = Model.getInstance(); //Singleton
var view:View = new View(model, this.stage);
var controller:Controller = new Controller(model,

addChild(view);
And in the view instance, instead of my way:
private function btn_clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
controller.setValueInModel(arrayButtons.indexOf(e.target));
}
private function btn_clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
myPublicVar = arrayButtons.indexOf(e.target);
dispatchEvent(new Event(View.MY_CUSTOM_EVENT));
}
Ofcourse the Controller would then have a listener :
view.addEventListener(
View.MY_CUSTOM_EVENT, callback_function);
Correct???

I don't think the controller should be updating the view. Period.

the events, not caring which view dispatched it.
The controller updates the model, and the view listens for changes

There are several ways to build the MVC pattern. The video shows one

and the
idea of a controller updating a view, is a no-no.
Sometimes people use a micro-mvc architecture within a view to
control it -
no problem about that, but we should keep our MVC components as
separate
black boxes.
