[Flashcoders] Extending Flash8 mx.controls.textarea No Scroll Bar?

2007-02-27 Thread Wade Arnold
I have been trying to subclass mx.control.textarea. This seems to work well
other than I never get a vertical scroll bar. With Xray I can see that
_vscrollpolicy is auto so it should work. 

 

What I have done. 

 

I am using the label for the bounding box from mx.controls.textarea
standardComponent.

 

My new Class: 

 

import mx.controls.TextArea;

class TextAreaPreview  extends TextArea 

{



 /* Components must declare these member variables to be proper
components in the components framework. */

static var symbolName:String = TextAreaPreview;

static var symbolOwner:Object = TextAreaPreview;

var className:String = TextAreaPreview;



 // The component's graphical representation.

private var label:TextField; // the main textfield for the
component





 

/** Constructor **/

function TextAreaPreview() {

}

public function init():Void {

super.init();

this.vScrollPolicy = auto;

this.editable = false;

}



private function onLoad() {

// becuase we are extending textarea we get a
bounding box. This has to be removed

border_mc._visible = false;

}





/** Because we are extending a UI component the following
methods and there super

* are very important! **/

private function createChildren():Void {

super.createChildren();

}

private function draw():Void {

super.draw();

}

private function size():Void {

super.size();

this.label._height = this.height;

this.label._width = this.width;



}

}

 

 

Thanks for your help!!!

[Flashcoders] Singleton class inside SWC components?

2007-01-19 Thread Wade Arnold
I am working on a Flash 8 project that has several components. Each of the
components has a reference to a singleton class that it uses for passing
messages between each other. Before I compile the components into SWC files
I can use SingltonClass.getInstance().getMyInformation(). This works great
and I can copy as many instances from the library I want and get the desired
result  However as soon as I compile them into an SWC and add more than one
of the same component onto the stage they all end up using the same instance
of that class. Has anyone seen this? Can anyone explain how I can have my
compiled SWC components work like they do when they are just fla's in the
library? Is there a special way to build swc components other than right
click and export to SWC from the library in order to get this to work
properly amongst several components? 

 

Thanks for your help! 

 

Wade

Thats exactly what is happening, correct - what you intended. If each
instance component used a different instance of your singleton - how would
they communicate to one another?

[Flashcoders] live preview swf not scaling horizontally

I have a component that I am using an external swf for live preview. The swf
is scaling vertically but not horizontally on the stage. Any ideas as to
what I need to change so that the live preview fills my bounding box
horizontally like it does vertically?

Re: [Flashcoders] Writing code for big teams

2006-11-22 Thread Wade Arnold
Where would you place a your global properties? This is a question that
has always got me. 

If the properties such as framerate, gatewayURL, styles, etc need to be in
the class application. They have to be there for two reasons.
1. User defined inspectable properties.
2. variables must be available for proper instantiation.


I have always wanted to have a config file, then a worker class that just
handles all the get setters. However I have never been able to pull this off
in order for the application class to wait for the variables to be
populated. Any ideas? I assume I will try again in AS3.

 There is another approach to communicate those swfs:
 - At your side:
 1. Class Application (singleton)
 2. Class LoadedSWF (or whatever), abstract class that every swf of the
 team development will have to extend. This class could implement any
 interface you like, and will have a constructor like this:
 
 public function LoadedSWF() {
 Application.getInstance().register(this);
 }
 
 3. Your Application class will have a method register where you can
 subscribe to LoadedSWF events, or even store a reference to the object
 to call any of his methods.
 
 public function register(obj:LoadedSWF):Void {
 obj.addEventListener(event, Delegate.create(this, onEvent));
 }
 
 - At the team development side:
 1. intrinsic class Application
 2. intrinsic class LoadedSWF
 3. The class that controls the swf will have to extend LoadedSWF, and
 call super() in its constructor
 class Whatever extends LoadedSWF {
 public function Whatever() {
 super();
 ...
 }
 }
 
 This way everytime you load an external swf of your team development it
 automatically notifies your Application class.
 
 PS: so many people from DMSTK around here these days :-)

 You cannot make a swf implement an interface, but you can make the
 content of that swf implement it. Say you have in the _root of every
 section swf something like this:
 
 ---
 
 var section:SectionClass = new SectionClass(this);
 
 
 
 SectionClass implements the interface, so you know which methods and
 properties are going to be available in the section variable.
 
 You cannot force external developers in the strict mean of the word,
 you'll need to _ask_ them to do so. Simply refuse any external swf not
 implementing the interface.
 
 Makes more sense now?

 Make the contained movie register its 'main' class with a known

 For example, ensure that the container can do something like:

 where MyControllingClass implements the PluginMovie interface (or
 whatever your interface is called) and you've set up
 _parent.registerMe() as something like:
 
 public function registerMe(movie:PluginMovie):Void;
 
 Does that make sense? The other advantage of doing it 'backwards'

 this is that you could put off registering until all your

 loaded or some other action has happened; your child movie has
 complete control of when it's ready to talk to the container.

[Flashcoders] Where to add eventListners in UIComponent classes?

2006-11-06 Thread Wade Arnold
I have a component that has a couple Macromedia UI components used inside of
it. I have found that if I add my event listeners inside of createChildren
after I have added the UI components the events are not added. I have also
tried to add the events inside of the draw method. In order to get the
events to work properly I have to add them into my onLoad() method. However
this makes it so when I load the component I do not get an accurate onLoad
event from the component as the event handlers have yet to be registered. Is
there someplace that I am missing that I should be placing all of my event
registration in anything that extends UIComponent? 

 

Thanks;

Subject: [Flashcoders] International Address to Map position

Hey Folks,

I'm working on an application that has a requirement for generating a world
map showing outlets for a particular product. There are *lots* of outlets
and they are updated very frequently so the spec is that the map should be
able to render a new outlet in the correct location on the world map based
on address only.

Anyone done this before and care to offer any suggestions? Right now I am
thinking I will need to acquire a db of city/long/lat or else find a public
webservice that accepts an international address and returns long/lat info.
Then I'm thinking I'll just need a scale map in my swf that approximates to
the long/lat grid so can place the new outlet in the right position.

Any advice or tales of woe appreciated.

[Flashcoders] clone object

2006-08-23 Thread Wade Arnold
I have a style that I need to duplicate for several buttons. The style is
declared once and then I want to duplicate the object and add a specific
style element and then apply it to the button. However when I duplicate the
object I get a reference to the original object,  as expected. I tried to
fake out a clone method in order to get this to work but it does not seem to
properly duplicate the object. I am sure that this question has been asked a
million times on this list but I can't seem to googlize the correct answer.
Can someone point me in the right direction to properly clone an object and
keep all the right castings. Ahh to just have all the Flex classes in flash.


 

private function cloneObject(object){

var iterate;

var clone = {};



for(iterate in object){

clone [iterate] = object[iterate];

}

return clone;

}

 

 

 

Thanks!

Hi there,

Does anybody know if there is free weather forecast web-service?
I went to the yahoo website but all I could find is an RSS feed, which
seems
to be a bit buggy. Plus it only gives you the forecast the next day. 

Thanks

This would be why:

 Currently the SWF format does not include HTTP referrer information 
 when sending http requests. Macromedia is aware of this issue and is 
 considering possible future solutions.

 Hi folks,

 I've spent all evening trying to find an answer to this question, and 
 I've just recently subscribed to this list, so I apologize in advance 
 if this has already been covered.

 I have set up a directory to serve up SWFs from with an htaccess file 
 that prevents direct access to the SWFs or from domains other than my 
 own. This is working fine... when an HTML or PHP file on my domain is 
 the file that is loading the SWF.

 However, when the same HTML or PHP file loads a SWF that then tries to

 load another SWF from the same directory, htaccess prevents it. I am 
 using a MovieClipLoader to load the external SWF.

 How is loading a SWF from within a SWF different to Apache than 
 loading the same SWF from an HTML or PHP file?

 I'm pulling my hair out here. Thanks in advance.

[Flashcoders] init() createChildren() onLoad

2006-08-04 Thread Wade Arnold
I have a component that places UI components on the stage during
createchildren. I am trying to find out what method I should add event
handlers to these input fields. So far onLoad is the only thing that allows
the event handles to work. Should I not be able to place that in init? Any
reason that I should not use onLoad other than the whole thing is a mess and
should be in the constructor?

[Flashcoders] external component assets

2006-07-21 Thread Wade Arnold
 

I have a couple components that have background images and other visual
assets that are not always used. I have created inspectable properties that
allow the user to turn off the images if they do not want them. However the
file size of the component is still the same. My assumption is that the
background images are still downloaded. 

 

My question is it possible to have a component when dragged onto the stage
drop movie clips into the library. This would allow the user to edit those
movie clips or delete them if they do not want them. My hope is to keep the
file size of components down and make it as easy as possible for people to
customize the components when they want to without doubling the size of the
component. 

 

Thanks;

[Flashcoders] USB Video device driver virtual rtsp.

2006-07-06 Thread Wade Arnold
I am having some issues getting my RTSP stream into flash and still have the
ability to layer objects on top of the video. My thought was to write a
virtual camera driver that flash could connect. Possibly even mimic one of
the supported drivers. The have the application stream rtsp to be sent to
flash. Has anyone every worked on one of these drivers that they could point
out what was necessary for flash to pick up the device? If anyone is willing
to do consulting work on this application I am willing to pay.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] RTSP in flash?

The Flash Player doesn't support the RTSP protocol (neither RTP, RTCP  
which are usually also required for proper RTSP) and it doesn't  
support decoding MPEG4 Video.  So, currently there is no way for you  
to play such a stream natively in the player and I doubt it will be  
coming anytime soon if ever.  The only other option would be for you  
to try to layer a quicktime player (if that player supports the  
version of mpeg4 your camera provides) or some media player on top of  
the Flash interface and have them communicate to each other, which  
essentially means you would fake the displaying of the video within  
Flash.

My guess is you are trying to do this within a browser, if you have  
the option of distributing this application as a desktop application  
you might want to look into some methods of embedding media player  
within a desktop application or take a look at 3rd party projector  
tools which some will allow you to do this more easily if you have no  
experience in writing desktop applications

[Flashcoders] Flex 2.0 Heap issue

2006-05-09 Thread Wade Arnold
Hey All,

I am seeing the following error right now on FLEX 

 

An out of memory error has occurred. You can prevent these errors in the
future by increasing your heap size before you start the workbench using the
-vmargs -Xmx command line option

 

I tried the following as command line..but didn't work.

 

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2 Beta 2FlexBuilder.exe -vmargs -Xmx

 

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2 Beta 2eclipse -clean -vmargs
-Xmx1024m

-Xmx1024m

 

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2 Beta 2FlexBuilder.exe -vmargs
-Xmx512m

 

How do I increase the heap size. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flex 2.0 Heap issue

2006-05-09 Thread Wade Arnold
I have tried this but it failed to help. 
Flex Builder running slow or hang, or get out of Memory message
Flex Builder will consuming memory over times, especially when you have a
lot of projects created in FB. You can monitor the memory usage of FB from
windows task manager. Look at the javaw.exe process, the above mentioned
problems usually happens when the memory usage of javaw.exe is too height.
You can close and restart the FB to clean up the memory.

By default, FB set the heap size for Java virtual machine in FlexBuilder.ini
as following:

-vmargs
-Xms256M
-Xmx512M

If you exceed the maximum value, OutOfMemory errors can occur.
If your system has more total memory available, then you can increase the
maximum heap size value. The rule of thumb used to be set the maximum heap
size no more than half of the total memory available. However, with the new
features and settings in the newer version of JDK, there are more factors
you need to consider when deciding what is the best maximum heap size you
can use. You can consult articles about heap size online.
To change the heap size settings, you can modify them in FlexBuilder.ini
under the FB root directory.
If you start FB by command line (or using Eclipse), then you can change them
by command line (or FB2 shortcut) such as C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex
Builder 2 Beta 1\FlexBuilder.exe -vmargs -Xms256M -Xmx512M

7. NullPointer Exception when open FB
If you leave some files open when you close FB and restart FB later, by
default FB will open the files you previously opened. If one of those opened
file has been deleted already at this time, then FB will throw NullPointer
exception. All you need to do to get rid of the exception is to close that
file.

[Flashcoders] as2lib best regex class?

2006-03-27 Thread Wade Arnold
What is the best regular expression classes for AS 2.0

I use to use Pavils Jurjans in as 1.0. I was thinking of using as2lib
classes for a new project.

Thanks for any insight. I can't use AS3 it's for an existing project. I know
that this is one of those once a quarter emails. I have been here for
several years. But I don't want to make a bad decision.

[Flashcoders] What is the source document of my swf?

2006-03-22 Thread Wade Arnold
I am trying to figure out a way to get the source document of my swf file. I
can of course get the file path to the swf but I want to know the calling
html, php, asp, etc page that is instantiating my swf. Can this be done?

I would like to use something like this but to get the container page.


 var url_array:Array = this._url.split(/);
 var my_str:String = String(url_array.pop());
 trace(unescape(my_str));



Thanks for any ideas.

Yes pay is negotiable. Senior flash and senior Server application developers
can expect 48-60 based on experience. 60+ if you want to run the department.

We have several wonderful developers that work for us now. Billy Bateman

 This final example actually returns a Number (not a String as the first

 I'm going to report this info to Xfactor Studio.

[Flashcoders] Clone Array of Type Object

2006-03-02 Thread Wade Arnold
Is it possible to clone and array in AS 2.0?  I have copied the array but
that just places a pointer at the existing array. I am looking to
clone/duplicate the array to separate the two data elements without having
to do a for loop. This of course stops working once you use objects or
multi-dimensional arrays.


Thanks!

Re: AW: [Flashcoders] Flash connecting to a database - all running on aDVD-ROM

2006-02-26 Thread Wade Arnold
Would using SQLite or Berkley DB work on the server for development and then
just copy the database.db file to your cd? I have not ever connected flash
to either of these without php/jsp in the center and I don't know if it is
possible. 

I have thought about this problem for a long time and have resorted to a
file structure for tables and xml files for instances of components. I am
excited to test INM.

 Hi List,
 
 XML and CSV is fine for small data, and I would even prefer it about a
 Database such as SQLite for rather small data or if you only need to search
 for one key/index.
 
 But if you need to do complex lookups or need to search for different
 criteria I would strongly recommend SQlite or comparable,as a DB is hard to
 beat if it comes to speed and flexibility. Using my SQlite Connector the
 speed you gain is even faster then mySQL, and far better than XML. SQLite
 imports/writes CSV files too, btw.
 
 However, it´s really a design choice and what you're going to do with your
 data.

 As long as your dataset is relatively small, XML is fine, but at some
 point a real database is going to be needed.  I'm not sure how v12
 with flash is going to work, but I have used Valentina with Director,
 and when you have 10's of thousands of records, you can't afford the
 disk space or speed penalty of xml files on a CD
 
 
 
 On Feb 25, 2006, at 12:37 PM, Danny wrote:
 
 I've programmed many databases both in Director and Flash, and find
 it much more code it myself than use an xtra like V12.
 For your example, I would assign each module an ID number, then in
 Excel or FileMaker, what ever data base you want to use, match the
 ID number up with the paths to the content and description
 ID, path, description
 23498, moduleOne\myPDF.pdf, descriptionHere
 23498, moduleOne\myPres.ppt, descriptionHere
 9, moduleTwo\myPDF.pdf, descriptionHere
 9, moduleTwo\myDoc.doc, descriptionHere
 
 etc.
 
 Save the data as a CSV file, and use Amber CSV Converter (http://
 www.processtext.com/abccsv.html) to convert it to XML.  This
 creates a very easily readable XML file without a lot of extra crap
 like you get if you convert directly from Filemaker.
 
 There are plenty of examples of how to load the XML into Flash and
 save it in an Array.
 
 Assign the ID numbers to the proper nodes in the tree using the
 data parameter.  When a user chooses a node, search your array for
 all the matches to the ID number and display the descriptions.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flex Pricing

2006-02-14 Thread Wade Arnold
Everyone has stated that flex 2.0 is amazing! From the examples I have 
seen I am also very impressed. We have always tried to implement java 
concepts in flash and run into problems. YEA FLEX! However can anyone 
answer these questions?


1.) When should you start developing client application in flex 2.0? We 
have clients that are interested in using flex rather that Java 
Webstart for current applications. Is Flex 2.0 ready for us to start 
developing for production use? What quarter '06 '07 is production use 
possible?


2.) When will an AS3 capable player be released publicly?

4.) What will pricing be like to deploy a flex 2.0 application on a 
server? We are specifically looking to use it for a shopping cart 
inventory management application with db connection via Hibernate. Is 
this something that will require a license? I can't even seem to get 
pricing out of Adobe. I assume that this means we are quarters away 
from doing production deployments?

[Flashcoders] (CAKE or FuseBox) + AMF ??

2005-12-16 Thread Wade Arnold
After standardizing our flash practices for developing RIA we are 
looking to a platform for server side integration. To date we have 
just used AMF services and created classes that then could be consumed 
via remoting. We are now running into issues:


+ Maintaining server side application code for legacy applications. PHP 
V3 - PHP 4.* - PHP 5*
+ Documentation that is specific to a project when  code functionality 
is not specific to the application.

+ Large learning curve for new staff members.
+ Lack of any list or forum for support, such as this list for Flash.

 The idea is that by moving to CAKE or Fuzebox we can leverage the 
existing work and of course aid to the projects.  Anyone on the list 
worked with these technologies and their integration with flash via 
AMF? I saw that Patrick Mineault (AMFPHP fame) posted to his blog about 
some of these technologies today and the future integration with 
AMFPHP.


Thanks for any insight, rants, experiences, etc that you may have had.

[Flashcoders] [OT]License Management for Components Development

The company that I work for Is about to launch a large set of 
component. I would like to be able to restrict what URL's the 
components can run on based on user registration. Has anyone on the 
list ever written a license management system based on the per domain 
model? I would like to give the components away to developers and they 
use them for a  90 day trial. At the end of the 90 days the components 
would not load or would load an error if the component was not 
registered or purchased. I know that their are lots of issues that 
could happen with this model. That's why I would rather not start from 
scratch.  Please contact me if you have developed such a product and 
would like to be paid for the application or additional features to the 
application even if it's open source. If you have another way of 
licensing components I would interested in that concept also!

As Flash 8 is already here.. should i get a book based on that version  
or is

the step from MX to 8 really small?

Thanks so much again for all the input!

I was doing procedural MVC with fusebox when I read / became

Hall and Sam Wan. This book showed me so much I can't even begin to
express my appreciation for it. It's AS1, but it still holds up, I
tell ya. One of the classics. This truly shaped my understanding of
OOP because it put it in a context I was already familiar with.

Re: [Flashcoders] convert mail form from HTML to Flash

2005-11-18 Thread Wade Arnold
 IE6 looks is escaping all the code whenever there is a space or  it 
is replacing it with %20  %22 to make it URL friendly. I will see if I 
can work around this.


When you have it installed you can then just go to any website with a 
form in it, ie google.com,  and click the link. It should create all 
the actionscript for you. I have added a contribute video to the site 
to show how to do this.


http://weblogs.t8design.com/upload/form2AS.htm

If you have any feedback on how you would make this better I would 
really appreciate it. We are always making flash RIA that need to login 
or connect to a legacy cgi GET/POST scripts. We created this tool to 
help with the tedious task of re-creating the form. Once this is done 
the developer just has to drag enough input-fields to the stage and 
label them properly.In the future we hope to connect this to mtasc for 
actually making the UI dynamically.



Here is the code that it generate for google.com

// create a new listener object;
submitObj = new Object();

// handle button click events;
submitObj.click = function() {
this.submitForm();
}

// handle enter key events;
submitObj.enter = function() {
this.submitForm();
}

// method to submit our form;
submitObj.submitForm = function() {
// post variables;
var post_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
post_lv[hl]  = en;
post_lv[q]  = ;
post_lv[btnG]  = Google Search;
post_lv[btnI]  = I'm Feeling Lucky;

// The document location is http://www.google.com/
// The form action is /http://www.google.com/search
url = http://www.google.com/http://www.google.com/search;;

	// Submit the form in a new window. Test that the form method is 
correct

post_lv.send(url,_blank,GET);
}

// Reference to instance name of form submission button.
submit_btn.addEventListener(click, submitObj);

// Reference to last field in form that users presses enter in.
password_txt.addEventListener(enter,submitObj);

Paul,

In your XML document:

(Watch the wrap.)

someTag![CDATA[Grandios ProductNameT iitalic description/i 
content

text here.]]/someTag

You can enter the TM directly into the XML document by holding down 
Alt

and typing 0153 on the numberpad.

Subject: [Flashcoders] External text from XML file including

anditalic

I have a flash page that includes several sections of text that are 
read in

from an XML file.

I have worked out how to do this assuming all the text formatting is 
one

style. However I would like some of the text to be in italic and it to
include the TM as superscript.

Ideally I could just write the text in the xml file as I want it to 
appear
on screen in the flash movie. Can anyone advise me if this is possible 
and

how. Or if it isnt possible then what is my best option.

Basically the client will be updating the content of the site by 
replacing
the xml files and the text needs to have italics and superscript. I do 
hope

this is possible:)

Many thanks

Paul

[Flashcoders] CustomFormatter for Percentage and Dollar

2005-11-09 Thread Wade Arnold
I am about to start writing a customFormatter but I have to ask if this 
has been done a million times before. I have searched almighty google 
and this list and not have found an answer. I am wondering if 
CustomFormatter only works for data-binding and not actually for manual 
input.  Assuming that this is a common task I have to ask if I am going 
about this the wrong way. Please let me know what steps I need to take 
to get the below result.


I have two text formatters for the textinput class:

The first is to handle percentages. people like to type in percentages 
a lot of ways. I want the result of this input field to give me a type 
number of 0.06 with the following inputs:


6%
.06
6

People like to type monitory numbers a lot of different ways. I want 
the result of what they type to be a number with out all of the 
character formating. With the following inputs I would like the the 
result to be :



6,666
6,666.00
$6,666.00
$6,666
$


With both examples I would like to be able to set the number back to 
the text area and have the text area display it with the proper 
formating.


Example:
 0.06 would be displayed as 6%
 would be displayed as $6,666.00
