Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Interactive conferences

2013-01-24 Thread Odie Bracy
I have switched to HTML5, from Flash, for my web apps as so many of my 
customers want to use iPad. My apps are medical in nature (use of them requires 
proper professional credentials) and so I don't want to put them on the App 
store. I charge a subscription fee for access  to the apps and issue Usernames 
and Passwords to the subscribers. After a long search and trial of many tools, 
I settled on HandHeldDesigner. It is the closest programming tool to Flash that 
I have seen and so far I have been able to do anything with it that I have 
wanted. It is available on the Mac App store and at  http://handhelddesigner.com

I have no affiliation with the program or the author.

Re: [Flashcoders] SQLite and AIR

2011-10-19 Thread Odie Bracy
I recently used an SQLite database on an iPhone/iPad app (now in the App Store) 
but I was programming with Corona. I had no difficulty with setting up tables 
and fields from code. I utilized INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE with no problems. I 
found the program LITA to be immensely helpful in troubleshooting and debugging 
my SQL statements as I could keep the database open on my screen and quickly 
track the results of my App. It might be helpful for you to go to the Corona 
website (www.anscamobile.com) and review their API documentation.

Re: [Flashcoders] Using Vista, Flash doesn't reload in FF or IE

2007-06-08 Thread Odie Bracy
Just this morning I was having problems on a new HP with Vista  
loading any Flash from any website. I Googled and found that a large  
number of people are having problems with slow internet with Vista.  
Most people talked about removing McAfee to solve the problem. I had  
Norton rather than McAfee but I removed Norton and turned off the  
Phish filters and suddenly everything started working.

Does Vista suck or are we missing a "Make this OS good" setting

If you are not already locked into the SitePal characters you might  
consider using the www.mediasemantics.com characters instead. With  
MediaSemantics you purchase the character, serve it yourself and you  
have total programming control of the character. The output can be

Re: [Flashcoders] image effects in Flash MX on Mac

2006-12-05 Thread Odie Bracy
Many of the photoshop filters work on Fireworks which is part of the  
Studio version of Flash. Also check out the Alienskin filters at  
www.alienskin.com for Fireworks.


I use the Alienskin Fireworks Impact filter quite often in my work.

With Fireworks you can make your shape in Flash, copy it, open  
fireworks, paste it, do your filter, copy the results, go back to  
Flash and paste it. Very simple.

Re: [Flashcoders] Determining width of rotatedMC'simaginaryboundingbox

2006-03-20 Thread Odie Bracy PhD
Actually, your width will change with the rotation. The greatest  
width will be when the diagonal line of your rectangle is a flat,  
horizontal line. This width will be equal to the square root of the  
sum of the squares of the original height and width before the rotation.

Danny,


My MC is a 150x30 rectangle rotated to 45 degrees.
My results show width and height both at 180, when
they should be closer to 130.  Here's my code:



That's odd: when I go through those calculations
with a calculator, they come out with about 130,
just as you say [...].  Are you sure your mc._width
and mc._height are returning the correct values?


Well, I checked, and am beginning to feel dumber and dumberer.
Somewhere, when I was dealing with this last night, my head must  
have been
clouded up.  If I take a 150x30 movie clip in the IDE and rotate  
it, the
width and height, as indicated in the Properties inspector, updates  
the way

your calculation and the getBounds approach dictate they should.

I was expecting mc._width to always return 150, even when it was
rotated.  After all, the clip's width, from its own POV, hasn't  
changed.  In
fact, I would swear this is what was happening last night -- but,  
sheesh,

maybe not?  If I simply trace mc's _width and _height from the main
timeline, the values returned by those properties give me the data  
I want.

This happens with dot notation as well as onClipEvent(load) {trace()}.

So ... I guess my whole question is moot.  But now I'm scratching my
head.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash window coming out small on some IE browsers

2006-02-16 Thread Odie Bracy PhD
I have seen this happen for users who had AOL for their internet  
provider (using the AOL browser, which I think is a modified IE)  I  
had them connect thru AOL, then drop the AOL browser to the task bar  
and open the regular IE and the SWF ran fine there.

Hey guys,

This is really strange, and is kinda OT coz it's not actionscript
related.  It's more about the Flash Player Detection Kit.

http://test.quirkworks.net/skin/ comes out small only in some IE
browsers (15% of the people i've asked), and I can't seem to figure
out why.

If you see the source code of the site I'm using the detection kit
Macromedia made.

Client is waiting for the fix and.. gah.. I can't seem to find a fix!
Problem is that it works fine in all the computers here in the office.

If it comes out small (window looks like it shrank), what is ur IE
version and OS?

Thank you,
