Re: [Flashcoders] Placing sprites on the circumference of a circle
If you put the circle and the sprites of building in a movieclip and then
rotate the MC, they should stick to the circle, i think.
Or, keep the variable of the angles and then keep increasing the angles of
all the sprites for the same amount. (angle1++, angle2++, angle3++)
Or, since the angle of each is angle of first + n*spacing (where n is the
number of sprites and spacing the distance - in angles - of each ) you just
have to increase one angle.
OK, i don't think i am very clear. I've had a bad day and my ideas are
confused.
Below is a modified code of a carousel i once created. I think it should
work for you (haven't check after i just made some modifications), but you
could simplify it a lot.
var original_speed:Number=2;// raise or lower to adjust the orbiting speed
var speed:Number=original_speed;
var currentDegrees:Number=0;// don't change
var thumbNum:Number=this.numChildren; //the number of sprites you have to
rotate
var id:Number=0;// don't adjust
var seperation:Number=Math.round(360/thumbNum);// you could hard code a
number here for the amount each thumb is seperated, but this math works
nicely
var circle_radius:Number=thumbNum*50;// radius of the earth
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, movingCode);
function movingCode(event:Event):void {
currentDegrees=currentDegrees+speed;
while ( id thumbNum) {
var radians:Number = (currentDegrees + (seperation * id)) * Math.PI
/ 180;
var posX:Number=Math.sin(radians)*circle_radius;
var posY:Number=Math.cos(radians)*circle_radius;
this[thumb+id].x=posX;
this[thumb+id].y=posY;
}
id=id+1;
}// ends while loop
if (id==thumbNum) {
id=0;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] formal qualifications
So it really depends on what kind of company/entity you want to work for. In many cases, you won't need it, but possessing degrees and certifications would never of course be a negative factor. The could never be a negative factor is country related. I most countries it is true, but in some (e.g. Slovenia) the salary is related to the degree and if they don't really need someone with a high degree, they will rather employ the one with the lower degree.

What i am looking for is a book (max 500 pages) with an overview of the different design patterns, and some case studies or examples on how to write OOP I have one question that i can't really understand: Why people say OOP programming is only for big projects?

Re: [Flashcoders] OOP AS3 learning
Hmmm Thanks for your answers, but now i am even more confused as i was before posting the question. I understand now (~) when i should use Design patterns, and i will understand it better after learning about them. The reason for my limitations to 500 pages (symbolic) is because of lack of time. That's why i don't want to start reading Learning AS3, since i already know as3 to some extend, and the OOP in there might not be enough to fulfill my expectations. Head First Design Pattern isn't the right book for me. I believe i could learn a lot from it, but the examples are in Java. Java is so similar to as3, that i could start confusing some small things that may destabilize my knowledge on as3 (i have enough of it, but i am not sure whether it's stable in my brains yet) So i think i will start by Lynda's OOP Programming by Todd Perkins and then get the book AS3 D. Patterns. If i will need anything else in the future i'll check more books - but i don't think that's going to happen before as4 is released.

[Flashcoders] preloader block on IE7 FP9
Hi
After successfully creating a carousel navigation I added a preloader to it.
It works well on FF3 FP10, but does not on IE7 FP9. I don't know how it
previews on other browser and players.
You can downlaod the swf here:
http://drop.io/carouselPreloadin
The code for preloading is this one:
stop();
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,checkingProgress);
function checkingProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var procentLoaded:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
preloader.loaderPerc.perc_mc.perc.text=String(Math.round(procentLoaded))+
%;
preloader.loaderPerc.kb.text=[+String(Math.round(event.bytesLoaded/1024))+
KB from +String(Math.round(event.bytesTotal/1024))+ KB];
preloader.loaderPerc2.perc_mc.perc.text=String(Math.round(procentLoaded))+
%;
preloader.loaderPerc2.kb.text=String(Math.round(event.bytesTotal/1024))+
KB;
preloader.loaderPerc.bar.scaleX=(procentLoaded/100)
*stage.stageWidth/305;
preloader.loaderPerc2.bar.scaleX=(procentLoaded/100)
*stage.stageWidth/305;
if (procentLoaded=100) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,checkingProgress);
}
}
Am i maybe using a feature that doean't work on FP9? What else could be the
problem?

Example: You open two youtube video in different tabs. You pause them both (or do whatever you want with them. The important is that you click on the flash content on both tabs). Now if you press Ctrl+TAB you won't be able to to go to the next tab, but instead you will see that yellow selector around a button in the flash player.

Re: [Flashcoders] 3d math in AS3
I don't think there is anything as a 3D angle value. Angles are shown in a 2D plane. (0-360degrees or 0-2PI radians) Therefore, you can't use a polar system to do this in 3D. You have to use a simple x,y,z coordinate system to find a point (rotation) in 3D, or maybe you could use the polar system to get the angle on a 2D plane (atan2(dy, dx)), and then get the z value of the point you are looking for. Or you may use the rotationX, rotationY and rotationZ properties. I hope i am right. If not correct me! *Pedro D.

mean, when i press Cntrl+ENTER the app runs all right. (But i have no idea
how to actually make it a real AIR app; when i click on publish i get a

Good afternoon group. I didn't get a response on the Flash Tiger list
last week, so that's why I'm cross-posting. Hopefully this isn't
off-topic.
I am in the process of going through some AIR tutorials using the Flash
IDE, and I have encountered some errors. I am following the instructions
exactly and I still can't get the app to compile (although I did
discover that the tutorial did leave out some key info). I even tried
the sample file and that won't compile. I am simply trying to make an
application with custom chrome that is draggable, that can be closed,
and that can be minimized. I haven't added any other functionality at
this time. The tutorial says to put the code on a frame in the timeline
(which I wasn't really comfortable with, but what do I know?). Here is
the relevant code:
import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
back.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, back_CLICK);
function back_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.nativeWindow.startMove();
}
minimize.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, minimize_CLICK);
function minimize_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.nativeWindow.minimize();
}
closeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,closeButton_CLICK);
function closeButton_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void {
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();
}
Here is a link to the tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flash/articles/custom_chrome_app.html
Among other things, I get the following error: 1172: definition
flash.desktop:NativeApplication. I have installed the Flash AIR
plug-in,
and I do get code prompts in the actions window. Does anyone have any
idea why I am getting this error and how I might overcome it? Also, I'd
prefer to include this code in a class, but I'm not quite sure how I
would go about doing that, so any ideas on that would be appreciated as
well.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

[Flashcoders] Optimizing complex motion and effects

Re: [Flashcoders] Optimizing complex motion and effects
Thanks for the good tips. Actually this is an extended example of the FriendsOfED-foundation as3-animation. I was trying to use the same kind of coding as the author has (not very successful i think). The balls are simple black circles, with a a glow effect on it. And the position of the ball changes all the time, as well as the color of the glow. The motion is actually simple springing. The springing target changes every 1 s (or .5), so the balls spring towards the target. I found out that it forks much slower, if the new target point is very far away from the old one (looks like AS3 has still many problems with calculation higher values). I prefer to stop talking, as you can see it by your own. Here's a ZIP of it, if you couldn't download the files separately. http://www.humyo.com/F/2000999-218668805 (you don't have to register to download it). As the color of the glow is defined by a Math.random()*color function. Would it maybe be faster to enter some values of colors in an array and them chose one of them, instead of calculation a new random each time? Any more help appreciated. *Pedro D.

Visited your web page, but I can't seem to download... is this option only possible if I am registered? You might just want to give a link to a zip file instead - simpler. Things to check in general: 1. how you are animating the objects: use a controlling MC that triggers each ball to move, instead of having each ball do an 'onEnterFrame' can help tremendously: but that's not always possible. 2. Make your balls simpler: no outlines, no gradients, no alpha gradients, alpha:1 or 100 [AS3 or AS2] 3. reduce quantity or reduce frequency of new ball generation/updates. 5. Avoid calling floating numbers, round them up to integers when possible. 6. Use multiplications over divisions and use bit operations instead of both, when possible. 10/2 is slower than 10*0.5 which is still slower than 101. 7. Optimize if-then statements so that you first check for the least/most common occurance 8. optimize if-then statements so that you don't check the same object more than once [this can occur in badly written hit collision tests] and more... there are lot's of options and pitfalls to good code vs bad code... :P You can also check the net work similar code done by others, there is a heap of bouncing ball examples all over the place. Try respected sources like 'friend of ed' and 'oriellies' for code you know has been well thought out, or from a good blog where its a pro who is illustrating things. Modifying their code will be a lot easier and less prone to processor-loads that could occure when you are coding from scratch and not sure what the best way to program it is... hope some of this input was useful. :) Seb.

When Adobe bought Macromedia, they immediately adopted the MM site. Brilliant move! But over the past couple of years, Adobe has really beat it down with the ugly stick. With the demise of Flashpaper, I came across this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashpaper/eod_faq/ This is probably one of the ugliest, thoughtless pages from a serious source I've ever experienced in my career. Aesthetically, it's depressing. Depression-era-chic depressing. As a utility, it's restrictive. I must click on each question to discover the facts, with many simply answering No. Functionality, it's ridiculously ironic. Topic: Flashpaper discontinued. First link: Buy online.

There's no link! http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=Sho ckwaveFlash Answer? It's actually down in Support / Flash Player. But most developers find it via a better source: Google search. 2) Link icons on the debugger download page have been wrong for *years*. The text links are right, but check out what happens if you use the actual download arrows. You may accidently get Flash 8, or Windows .exe instead of .dmg for Mac downloads. http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html (Note that I even managed to get an Adobe team member to forward these bugs to the web team.

I think the project is called FLash Diesel , if you want to check it. But indeed it is great this idea of expanding the use of Flash player. On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 4:19 PM, Patrick J.

Re: [Flashcoders] using scrollRect and the width / height properties in AS3 F9 - weirdness
I don't get your problem. What is this code about? It has no scrollbar??!!
If you want to refresh the stage faster (using a timer) just add
t.updateAfterEvent();
On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 8:26 PM, John Axel Eriksson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi.
I'm building a simple scrollbar and a scrollcontent class. I'm using
these in dialogs among other things.
These dialogs draw a frame around their content based on the contents
width and height + a margin (to
describe it simply). I've not had any problems with this until I
started using my scroll classes and, to be more
precise, using scrollRects.
What I've found out is that when a scrollRect is set on a
DisplayObject, the width and height properties on that
DisplayObject do not reflect the scrollRects values until some time in
the future (perhaps next frame) - I've tested
using a timer which traces out the width and height values at
different times.
My problem is that this messes up the whole displayList hierarchy and
the only way to get my dialogs to draw right
is to set some arbitrary timer to fire an event which updates the
dialog and spefically the frame around the content at
some time in the future (50-100 ms seems to work, but perhaps a
shorter period could work as well). This is completely
INSANE in my opinion and it doesn't even fix all problems for me.
Why do scrollRects work like that? I can't see ANY benefit to it, only
trouble. Could anyone help out or explain why this
works the way it does?
Try it yourselves:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.geom.*;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
var sp1:Sprite=new Sprite();
sp1.graphics.beginFill(0x99,1.0);
sp1.graphics.drawRect(0,0,100,100);
var sp2:Sprite=new Sprite();
sp2.scrollRect=new Rectangle(0,0,20,20);
sp2.addChild(sp1);
addChild(sp2);
function traceValues(te:TimerEvent=null){
trace('container width: '+sp2.width);
trace('child width: '+sp1.width);
}
traceValues();
var t:Timer=new Timer(100, 1);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, traceValues);
t.start();
stop();

Hi Pedro.
You can't set alpha on TextFields which use device fonts - you'll have to
embed the font if you want to be able to set alpha.
I think myTextField.x++; probably works but since you only do it once it
isn't apparent. You'll have to set up a timer or frame event to do this
repeatedly in order to see the motion.

You don't have a reference to the stage until the object is actually
added -- using an event listener to wait until you're added to the
stage solves the problem.

Then the datatype Mountain exists and your class will be available in

Hope that works for you, let me know.

PS. Just a tip, its good practice to rename your private member
variables (class variables: private var nameOfVar) with an underscore,
like so: private var _nameOfVar so you can easily distinguish between
class variables and local variables in functions or parameters.

Re: [Flashcoders] Control speed by how fast mouse moving
Well, two transparent sprite are too little. You should create some 20 or even more of them. Position the vertically all over the stage at equal distances and every time the user passes his mouse over one of them it starts a timer. When it passes over the next it checks the timer time. So you'll have the distance between the 2 sprites/movie clips (because you have to position them at equal distances over the stage) and the time needed to reach one from the other. From this you can easily calculate the speed. I tried to draw it. Hope you'll see it all right: You have the movie clips (the horizontal lines) created and positioned to stage with a loop. You set an onMouseOver function. Then it starts a timer(i don't know how to do it-i only just started with as3) when the mouse goes over one of those MCs. When it goes over the next you check the time it took to move from one to the other and you calculate the speed(If the stage is 600 i think a mc every 20 or 30 pixels should do it for the distance between the mcs-don't put too much of them or i would use too much cpu and i am not sure if it would be able to check the time with 31 fms-)speed = distance/time; And you 'v got the speed. you make a var speed:Number=0; and the in an enter_frame event you check the speed of the mouse between 2 mcs, multiply it with a fraction of 1 so the acceleration is not too big and speed += speedBetweenMcs; ___ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ___ On Feb 13, 2008 8:04 AM, Paul Steven [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Cory Good point about the setInterval introducing redundant processing.Problem with placing an invisible movie clip is, the users mouse may not pass over this movie clip. For example, the movie is 600 pixels wide and 400 pixels high. If I place a 400 high and say 10 pixels wide movie clip in the center of the movie, it is still possible for the player to move their mouse left and right in the area to the left or the area to the right of the hidden movie clip - hence no speed would be detected. I am therefore not sure how to overcome this apart from insisting they move the mouse in a specified area.

Since all these events are only working once per frame, just comparing x's isn't likely to give you meaningful data -- if a player moves his mouse rapidly left to right at a rate that's some factor of your framerate, you could easily get the same (or similar) x value at every read. Increasing the framerate could help this, but brings other problems. Consider placing a small, invisible movieclip on the path you intend the user to move his mouse, and listen for onRollOver. You can use the number of RollOver events per second to adjust speed. Just keep in mind that you won't get any more events than your framerate. Finally, instead of adjusting speed directly, adjust max speed and provide a constant acceleration toward the current max speed. For example, if the user starts out at a rate that correlates to 50 mph, his current speed should slowly increase at a constant rate over many seconds until it reaches 50. Similarly, once the user begins to slow down, the speed should decrease linearly to the maximum speed allowed by the mouse move rate. This provides a slow acceleration at the beginning -- which is probably what you want if you're emulating the old button mashers -- and provides smooth speed changes as the game progresses, which is definitely good.

Thanks for the reply. but it still doesn't work for me. I can only see

Hi Pedro,
A couple of things:
Are you trying to place the MovieClips once in random places, or make
them move to random places? Your code suggests one-time placement. What
you say below suggests movement on the stage.
Also, have you checked your random calculations? If you divide (/)
Math.random, you will always get a number less than 1. Math.random()
returns a number between 0 and 1 which can then be multiplied to get
numbers usable for the stage coordinates.
If you are trying to place the clips one time on attachment, here is a
function, based on the code you sent, that works:
random100=Math.random()*100;
random500=Math.random()*500;
// Assumes you've already created the MovieClip, canvas.
function attachMovies() {
for (var i = 0; i2; i++) {
canvas.attachMovie(code,code+i,this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
canvas.code1._x = random500;
canvas.code1._y = random100;
canvas.code2._x = Stage.width/2;
canvas.code2._y = Stage.height /2;
}
attachMovies();
This will place code1 at the some random point between (0,0) and (500,
100), and place code2 at center stage, offset by it's own registration
point

Bob.

attachMovies();//ou said ihave to put this. but for the other
function(cahngeAlpha) i didnt and it works perfectly!!
have i done a mistake?

Hi Pedro,
A couple of things:
Are you trying to place the MovieClips once in random places, or make
them move to random places? Your code suggests one-time placement. What
you say below suggests movement on the stage.
Also, have you checked your random calculations? If you divide (/)
Math.random, you will always get a number less than 1. Math.random()
returns a number between 0 and 1 which can then be multiplied to get
numbers usable for the stage coordinates.
If you are trying to place the clips one time on attachment, here is a
function, based on the code you sent, that works:
random100=Math.random()*100;
random500=Math.random()*500;
// Assumes you've already created the MovieClip, canvas.
function attachMovies() {
for (var i = 0; i2; i++) {
canvas.attachMovie(code,code+i,this.getNextHighestDepth());
}
canvas.code1._x = random500;
canvas.code1._y = random100;
canvas.code2._x = Stage.width/2;
canvas.code2._y = Stage.height /2;
}
attachMovies();
This will place code1 at the some random point between (0,0) and (500,
100), and place code2 at center stage, offset by it's own registration
point
hth,
Bob.

- how do i do to define the x and y position of each mc separately?
I don't get it.. what do you want to do here?
what i want is to make one ofthose mcs moveup and downand the other
right-left. Theproblem is tht i just can not do it
function attachMovies() {
for (var i = 0; i2; i++) {//iwantto place each of those mc-s into a
different placeon the stage. I am not sure this is the right way.
canvas.attachMovie (code,code+i,this.getNextHighestDepth());
//didn't it created on mc named code1 and another code2
canvas.code1._x = random500;//i triyed something like
canvas.code1._x=500; instead of this but it didn't work. what i am
doing
wrong??
canvas.code1._y = random100;
canvas.code2._x = Stage.width/2;
canvas.code2._x = Stage.height /2;
}

You could also use random(500), but is deprecated -

Hi Pedro,
Try this instead:
Math.random()*500;
Here's a simplistic but clear tutorial on the subject:

Hello
i got this code:

[Flashcoders] AttachMovie?!!?
Hello. I am sorry of posting this easy question here(i should post it to the newbies list but i think there is a problem with it) and i am sorry if this is a double post. Nobody replyed and i don't know if you actually received the mail or not. And i really need the answer as soon as possible. : I need to load two flash movies into a single one. One is containig the sound, the other the animation. I think i cannot put the sound directly into the movie because i made de movie of a lot of scenes(or can I?) Can you tell me a good tutorial for this or only giving me the piece of code neceserly for this. Thanks Pedro ps: I tried with this: this.attachMovie(genesis 7, genesis, this.getNextHighestDepth()); //to attach the film but the problem is that the animated movieclips inside the movie didn't play. Should sth like this work? this.attachMovie(genesis 7, genesis, this.getNextHighestDepth ()); //to attach the film genesis.play();??? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] AttachMovie?!!?
I allways knew that scenes wheren't the best choice, but the animation lasts about 10 minutes, which would be really complicated to do in anly one scene. Yes, hans it is really loadMovie the one that i should use. I don't know where did i mix this with attachMovie. It worked, but it is not really in syncronisation. How ca i fix that?
