[Flashcoders] Make page ads refresh on Flash click events
I'm working on a flash app that will be embedded in a page that hold three ad units. The flash app holds alot of content so its been requested that I set it up t to refresh the three ad units when a user clicks to a different section of the app. I've been googling this but haven't come up with a good solution.

Re: [Flashcoders] Make page ads refresh on Flash click events
When a user goes from section A to section B inside the flash app, the ad units on the html page should all refresh.

[Flashcoders] What's wrong with my dispatchEvent call? Listener not working
I'm sure this isn't the most elegant code as it's my first time using
classes. My problem is that my my custom 'change' event is not being
dispatched from place but not the other. If anyone has a suggestion on a
more modular way of writing this I'd also appreciate it. Basically, my
sendChange function is being called, and the data is being passed through
dispatch event, but my listener does not trigger. It never get to the event
trigger in my fla, which for the moment is just a trace. Any ideas?
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class myComboBox {
//
private var dispatchEvent:Function;
private var dispatchQueue:Function;
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
public function myComboBox(m:MovieClip, d:XML, c:Number) {
//(m)movieclip reference, (d)xml data to fill combobox, (c)default category
id to show
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
_cb = m;
_xml = d;
_cat = c;
//Loop through data and make combobox entries
for (var i:Number = 0; i_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
var xn:XMLNode = _xml.firstChild.childNodes[i];
var id:Number = xn.attributes.id;
//defaulting action dispatches change if an id exists that's equal
to the one passed
if (_cat == id) {
trace(matched on +i+ +_cat+ +id);
sendChange(id);
}
}
private function sendChange(id:Number) {
trace(sendChange);
dispatchEvent({target:this, type:change, parameters:id});
}
}
//Code from fla:
var combo:Object = {};
function init() {
my_cmb = new myComboBox(cmb, _xml, 40);
my_cmb.addEventListener(open, combo);
my_cmb.addEventListener(close, combo);
my_cmb.addEventListener(change, combo);
}
combo.change = function(evt:Object) {
trace(changed! idx= +evt.parameters.idx);

Re: [Flashcoders] Need to reload page ads on Flash event clicks.
Seth
Thanks alot for that code, I hope I'm almost there. I have one more
problem. The data coming for the ads is actually javascript; a
document.write() command to be exact. When I use your code, the javascript
code appears in the ad areas. How would I change the code to have it render
that command?
Thanks a ton for the help so far.

Re: [Flashcoders] Need to reload page ads on Flash event clicks.
Yes I'm pulling an html file for the iframe, but I'm not sure that would
work for this purpose. The call to the ad server gets js back; a
document.write() command. I tried putting at call into a js command, but
that doesn't seem to work. Here's an example of the code:
Your reload function modified to append the OAS as a var to each iframe:
function reloadAds(sitepage,rns,pcookie,adcontent1,adcontent2) {
document.getElementById('topad1').src = ad_iframe_top.jhtml?ad=
http://oas.server.com/RealMedia/ads/adstream_jx.ads/+sitepage+/1+rns+@Right,Position1,x96,BottomRight!Top?+
pcookie + + adcontent1 + + adcontent2;
document.getElementById('if1').src = ad_iframe_left.jhtml?ad=
http://oas.server.com/RealMedia/ads/adstream_jx.ads/+sitepage+/1+rns+@Right,Top,Bottom,Right1,Left,Position1,x96,BottomRight!Left2?+
pcookie + + adcontent1 + + adcontent2;
document.getElementById('tower1').src = ad_iframe_tower.jhtml?ad=
http://oas.server.com/RealMedia/ads/adstream_jx.ads/+sitepage+/1+rns+@Right,Top,Bottom,Position1,x96,BottomRight!Right?+
pcookie + + adcontent1 + + adcontent2;
}
Then in each iframe.html file, this code takes the variable 'ad' and writes
it into a javascript call so that presumably, the ad appears - but the ad
isn't.
if (ad!= null) {
document.write('SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript type=text/javascript SRC='
+ ad + '\/SCRIPT');
}
I know it's extremely hacky. If anyone has a smarter approach, I'd really
appreciate it. I know that the ad variable is getting read by the page. I
think the problem is that for some reason the returned javascript is not
being rendered.

Without seeing you code, here are my thoughts.
I assume you're pulling in an actually HTML page with the IFRAME
correct?
If that is the case you can just change up that JS function like so:
document.getElementById (id).src = document.getElementById(id).src;
That way it will just reload the current SRC.

Seth
Thanks alot for that code, I hope I'm almost there. I have one more
problem. The data coming for the ads is actually javascript; a
document.write() command to be exact. When I use your code, the
javascript
code appears in the ad areas. How would I change the code to have it
render
that command?
Thanks a ton for the help so far.

As you've stated, set up your ads as IFRAME's and give them unique

Then, create a JavaScript like below to change the SRC of the IFRAME's

document.getElementById('adframe1').src = uri1;
document.getElementById('adframe2').src = uri2;

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Best way to learn OO Analysis and Design with ActionScript
Man, where were all you people when I asked a similar question a few months back? :-) I think I have a couple of good project ideas to build classes for, but I just don't know where to begin. I want to make a video player, complete with a seperate browser component to view/select different categories of video. Would any of you pros be able to point me down the right path in terms of structure? I'd prefer to build it all out, without using the FLVPLayer component or anything. Any suggestions would be great! On 8/18/06, dave matthews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: welcome to the party, The basics of design patterns evolved from the timeline for me. Flash is an 'object oriented language' - that is each symbol is an independent 'thing' in the library. Learning the time line and how to do a tween came first, oooh, a moving thing on the screen. Next, we learned how to make a 'stop/start' button. A 'control' for the movement. Thus two segments of the proverbial 'design pattern - the controller and the content. Learning how to load another clip into the content makes that section of the pattern a bit more complex, but does not affect the 'controller button' in any way. Changing the button so it is a slider makes that section of the pattern a bit more complex without changing the content or it's payload, except that now with the control acting as a slider we have more fine grained interaction with the content. Knowing only Flash, this all seems quit natural, but these types of programming feats are quit difficult in most other programming systems. Separating what we do to the content from what the content is allows us to - say load different source text into the content object without mangling our control button. This 'design pattern' also allows us to create another button that adjusts the scale or rotation of the content object while also leaving the original 'on/off' function of the first button undamaged. That's all there is to it. Of course it can be far more complex. Say we want to change the content loaded into the content object based on a user name, or day of the week... none of the new abilities should mess with the existing controls we already made. And a sequence of decisions must be made before loading any content into the content container - This then calls for a new type of object/function - a load sequencer that acts without damaging the existing working set up. I am not quit sure of the specific terms of the formal vocabulary, but the idea of keeping different aspects of the project 'compartmentalized' is what design patterns are all about. The separation of the general areas of the project keep us organized and help avoid damaging sections that are working correctly as we add new abilities to any given project. As projects become more complicated groups of similar types of activities in the program will naturally be in one part of the interaction 'pattern' and that is why everyone says take it easy and don't push too hard to get it all into a predefined 'pattern' too soon because that will make a person crazy... :) hth, Dave_Matthews http://www.2GoTo.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:flashcoders- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Bellerive Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 9:41 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Best way to learn OO Analysis and Design with ActionScript Hi everyone!

ok .. some of these solutions occurred to me, but are these solution the
best OO design pratices ?
Because depending on how deep this process goes it would be hard to detect
or explict to some one else what your app does,
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
suggestion on having an array or queue of events, but how to build my own
callBack function that would be fired after all the files were successfully
read ???
PS: I´d like to use these approach inside an AS 2.0 class with MTASC static
main style.

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(
success:Boolean)... that would work pretty well.

Hi All,

I trying to develop some small app that read a Parameters list from a

would start, what is usually get with something like this
..
1.. var myParameters:XML = new XML();
2.. myParametersignoreWhite = true;

11..}
12.. };
13.. myParameters.load(parameters.xml);
but I´m guessing how to do it in a clean way, because after some files
it
gets messy and hard to read and mantain,
how could I make each XML loading dispatch some special event after it
succed to the main app and only after all events of all files occurred
it
would start it ??
Should the main app be implemented as some kind of OBSERVER pattern
where
it stays listening to these events ?

Re: [Flashcoders] End of flv playback event
The primary issue is the these NetStream Status Reports do not fire reliably. Buffer.Full is reported after playback has begun so if, for instance, you have a placeholder graphic over your video, and you tie it's fade to when Buffer.Full is sent, you need to give yourself some black padding at the begining of the video. You'd also need some at the end for Buffer.Empty. Also - if a buffer underrun occurs during playback - you need extra conditionals for that.
