RE: [Flashcoders] MultiLanguage
Dave I've lost count of the number of apps like this we've worked on. There are several issues here to address that are wider reaching than just TextFormatting. Firstly you need to think about the character sets each of the various versions will need for deployment. Are all of your required versions only going to require Latin characters ? What about Crylic and other more complicated requirements ? Your choice of typeface (and available character sets) will could be limiting unless you plan carefully. After all there's no point over-weighting a .swf file with characters your not going to use. Look at shared fonts as your best solution to this. By loading an external .SWF file with the required font, and/or font nodes you can dynamically change the display at run-time, negating the need to re-compile the file for each version. From the storage of content - I'd always recommend to run with XML. Makes it soo much easier to change elements at runtime than the flash panel which relies on the end user being able to re-compile the flash. In terms of the language variations affecting design - this one ultimately comes down to educating the creative to design/produce a framework which allows for flexibility. If you need customised 'pretty' buttons then build them as extensions of the components (or custom ones from scratch) that will automatically size where needed. Pete -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Mennenoh Sent: 21 January 2008 13:00 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] MultiLanguage Right, thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] XML Driven Application Driving me crazy :)
Just clarify a few tings on this. This is an App running on a CD - that queries a DB which is online? I'm guessing that part of the problem is the sheer volume of data being passed back to the App. XML is great when there is a reasonable amount of data to parse, is this gets significantly large, then the XML object can take a while to load and parse this data in. If this is the case, can you break the data up into smaller chunks ? Also what are you doing to 'search' the XML once it's loaded. If you haven't already done so look at Xpath - makes searching so much easier. Finally, if there is a server side tier to this, think about FlashRemoting - it will show a significant performance improvement for you. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ing.

The print job created ok.
However I have a problem when it actually print - the target_mc actually
has 2 nested clips inside it.
The print out comes out completely skewed by about 30-40 degrees, and
half the graphic is inverted. There is also NO color. I've tried 3
printers, and they all do the same.
If I passed a target clip which DOESN'T have a nested clip (ie
target_mc.someclip_mc) it all prints fine.

Hello Flashcoders, I have a client who wants to make significant improvements to their flash site (quite big). However, as site currently uses Flash 6 (or even 5) style programming, even (!) with NO external files, they insist that all should be done in the same manner. Mean no classes, no ext. files. Hope I'll be able to avoid distributing code to clips ... :-( All you know how non-convenient this approache seems now, after 2 years of class-based OOP in AS2. So, as there's a lot of coding, I'd like to use AS2 where possible during development. Question: Is there a way to automatically (or semi-automatically) convert AS2 code (with or w/o external classes) to AS1-styled code w/o ext. files? Any ideas appreciated. -- Best regards, Gregory http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: Expandable banners
Ricky, Very valid points. Ultimately it comes down to budget (doesn't everything :) ) but engaging visitors with in-ad content is the way things are moving. I worked on a campaign at the start of this year, which had an in-ad-game. And not just a silly little 5 seconds and your bored game either. It was a fully engaging top down shoot-em-up. We saw 33% click through on that ad and repeat plays of the game around the 80% mark. Serious figures when you take into consideration average click through are around 2%. I'm currently putting together some prototypes involving video interaction which will be interesting to track users activity through. I can foresee a move towards putting more content directly in the ads - a mini micro site if you will. This is always going to be a heated debate, as feelings are strong on both sides. The fact of life is, online advertising is hear to stay - period - and Flash offers the best platform for creating the material (good or bad). I would however be interested in opening up a conversation with somebody like Jessie (off list of course), as to exactly what it is that he finda so intrusive. Is it simply the fact that the ads are there at all ? Or investigating further is it particular formats (overlays, skyscraper etc) that make his blood boil so much. Jessie - I would genuinely be interested to talk more off list ? For now I think this thread has run it's course. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ricky Bacon Sent: 11 November 2005 18:40 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Expandable banners JesterXL wrote: I'm not talking about Flash banners, I'm talking about people who think people should stop bashing people who make Flash banners. If someone creates unsavory content, I and others will associate them with such. Fact of life. If they do not want negative comments directed towards them, they need to stop associating themselves with the negativity they create. A larger question is why do banners have to be unsavory? Ad banners serve a needed purpose: generating revenue for a site owner. I'd agree that the vast majority of ad banners are annoying. Large flashing objects and bad techno do not make for a compelling experience. It would make more sense to engage a visitor with a banner they actually want to interact with. Flash provides a unique opportunity to do this. My guess is a good interactive banner will generate more brand awareness and better click through rates for the advertisers. The problem involves selling the idea since developing a compelling experience takes time and money, whether it's an ad banner or a web site. -Ricky /still using the Flashblock extension ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
