Re: [Flashcoders] is there a recognised date format for xml?
This is a good format to follow for date and time in XML: http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime . Eg: Year: (eg 1997) Year and month: -MM (eg 1997-07) Complete date: -MM-DD (eg 1997-07-16) Complete date plus hours and minutes: -MM-DDThh:mmTZD (eg 1997-07-16T19:20+01:00) Complete date plus hours, minutes and seconds: -MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD (eg 1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00) Complete date plus hours, minutes, seconds and a decimal fraction of a second -MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sTZD (eg 1997-07-16T19:20:30.45+01:00) where: = four-digit year MM = two-digit month (01=January, etc.) DD = two-digit day of month (01 through 31) hh = two digits of hour (00 through 23) (am/pm NOT allowed) mm = two digits of minute (00 through 59) ss = two digits of second (00 through 59) s= one or more digits representing a decimal fraction of a second TZD = time zone designator (Z or +hh:mm or -hh:mm) There's even a method in the DateUtil class included in the AS3CoreLib that parses this format. - Mark On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 5:48 AM, allandt bik-elliott (thefieldcomic.com) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi guys i'm speccing an xml file for a server side dev that needs to return a target date and time and i wanted to make sure i wasn't doing anything stupid what would a php dev be expecting to use for time / date and how would that be supplied in an xml file?

Hey guys, It is AS2 and we did it by creating an svg representation of the flash vector artwork on flash's side and passing that to Java.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tweening ColorTransform objects?
When I updated Penner's color classes from his Programming Flash MX
book to AS2, I also translated all of the methods and classes to work
with the ColorTransform object.
There's one class in particular the ColorTransformClip that adds
several getters and setters to a MovieClip or all MovieClips that you
could then use the Tween class or any other tween classes on.
You can view and download these classes and documentation from here:
http://www.digitalflipbook.com/archives/2006/08/penner_as2_prof_7.php

Re: [Flashcoders] Most efficient way to set a ColorTransform property on a MovieClip
So I guess what we're coming down to, is the fact that you have to have at least 3 lines of code: one for initializing the ColorTransform object, another for setting the ColorTransform value, and still another for setting the MovieClip's colorTransform property to the new ColorTransform object. For example: var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(); ct.rgb = 0x00; my_mc.transform.colorTransform = ct; Seems so odd that there's no way of combining these lines. Let me know if I'm missing something. It's not a problem to go this route, I just want to make it as efficient as possible. Thanks. On 8/2/06, Marcos Neves [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is a classic object oriented problem. The MovieClip can´t know that the rbg property has changed from his ColorTransform property. There ar 3 solutions: The first is the easier for Macromedia but worst for us programers. The movieClip, update its ColorTransform when you set it, like this mc.colorTransform = new ColorTransform The second solution would be with listeners. When you assign mc.colorTransform = new ColorTransform, the movie clip do colorTransform.addEventListener(COLOR_CHANGE, The third would be the color transform has a reference to the movieClip and do the same done on the first situation, so when you assign colorTransform.rbg = 0xFF the color transform do: parentMovieClip.colorTransform = this (where this is the colorTransform) Those solutions are fine if you want to change only one property, but if you change 6 properties, the movieClip would be updated 6 times on the last two solutions. Unless the movieClip waits to update only at some internal refresh frame event (but this is with macromedia). My suggestion is create a helper class that would do the follow? new HelperColorTransform(movieClip).rgb = 0xFF; and inside you would do what you can´t do with one line of code.

[Flashcoders] Select all text onSetFocus of a TextField
This seems like it should be easily solved, but I keep running into an issue so I was hoping I could get some fresh ideas from you guys. I want to have default text in a TextField, and when a user clicks into it I want all of the text to be selected as if it was tabbed into. I currently have added an onSetFocus method to the TextField which in turn calls a setInterval for another method called selectText. The selectText method calls Selection.setSelection (0, field.text.length); Now this works wonderfully if you click to the right of the text, but if you click in the middle of the text, when the mouse lets up the text that is selected is 0 to the caret index. Does anyone know of a way to get around this?

var o:Object = {label: test, data: 5};
var copy:Object = {};
for(var p in o)
{
copy[p] = o[p];
}
However, if the o has properties that are objects, or arrays, you'll have
problems because your copy will still contain references. You need to
utilize a recursive algorithm to continually dig down on the object.
Recursion in Flash, however, is dangerous since you have a limit of 256, and
adjusting this in Flex only further increases the danger of locking up the
comp.
My suggestion is to provide a clone (or duplicate) method to those data
objects you use to copy, and leave the implementation details to that object
rather than creating a catch-all method.
Example:
class MyObject
{
public var label:String;
public var data:Number;
public function clone():MyObject
{
var o:MyObject = new MyObject();
o.label = label;
o.data = data;
return o;
}
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] Duplicating an object without pointing to original
one
Hi list...
How do you duplicate an object {bool:true, val:5} in another variable
without pointing to the original one, and without having to create a
constructor. In Director, there's a duplicate() method in Lingo. Is
there an equivalent way to do this in Flash?
Something like this, but which would actually work:
var h = {a:true};
var g = h;
trace(h.a); // true
g.a = false;
trace(h.a); // false, but want to be true, so it's separate from g
object.

Hello flashcoders,
isn't it possible to use a LoadVars.sendAndLoad(...) and specify an
XML-object as the receiving object?
I've just tried it, but the XML object always seems to receive a FALSE
on onLoad and all the childs are empty...
Before I try every variety I just wanted to ask whether someone alsready
did this before?!
Regards,
Roman.

Re: [Flashcoders] onLoop event for sound
Hey Chris, you're right that onSoundComplete only gets fired when the
sound has completely finished playing. The Class you wrote is handling
it the way I currently am, which is great ... the only thing I'm
noticing is that on some slower machines, when you start each loop
onSoundComplete there is a tiny pause that doesn't seem to be there
when it loops on its own ... basically I wanted to see what ideas
everyone would come up with, and it seems like I'm on the right track.
Thanks a lot,

Isn't onSoundComplete called when the sound has stopped playing, not when it

In which case you could create a SoundLoop class which uses onSoundComplete
to increment the loopCount and fire next loop. Not sure how it being called
on next frame affects this (seemed fine to me in the past)
Here's a quick look at a SoundLoop class (beware severely untested and prone
to being written better.. ;)
class com.bouncedigital.SoundLoop extends Sound
{
private var __secOffset:Number
private var __loops:Number
private var __loopsElapsed:Number = 0
public function SoundLoop(arg)
{
}
public function start(secOffset, loops)
{
if (__loopsElapsed == 0)
{
__secOffset = secOffset
__loops = loops
__loopsElapsed = 0
}
super.start(__secOffset,1)
}
private function onSoundComplete()
{
__loopsElapsed ++
onLoopComplete()
trace(loopsElapsed: + __loopsElapsed)
if (__loopsElapsed = __loops)
{
start(0,1)
} else
{
__loopsElapsed = 0
onAllLoopsComplete()
}
}
public function onLoopComplete()
{
}
public function onAllLoopsComplete()
{
}
}
--
In fla...
import com.bouncedigital.SoundLoop
var mySoundLoop = new SoundLoop(this)
mySoundLoop.attachSound(__bass_lib)
mySoundLoop.start(0,3);
mySoundLoop.onLoopComplete = function ()
{
trace(loopcomplete)
}
mySoundLoop.onAllLoopsComplete = function ()
{
trace(allloopscomplete)
}

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] onLoop event for sound
hi,
imho a better solution is to use the sound.onSoundComplete event:
mySound.onSoundComplete = function() { loopCount++ }
it is fired next frame after the sound ends. if you start your sound using a
script like mySound.start(0,) it may be your sound restarts (and resets
sound.position) before the next frame events calls your check.

Hi Mark,
you could monitor the position of the sound comparred to it's
duration,
that way you know when it arrives at the end of the sound.
if (sound.position == sound.duration) {
loopCount++;
}
In this case, the loop count will be made at the end of the sound.
