[Flashcoders] Re: Caught In My Own Infinite Loop (Robert Henry)
John, no solution for your scenario - just a designer who hacks my way through. Question: Why would you want to create and destroy vs just building once for all menus per user session and toggle visibility of the desired tier. Historically visibility should also manage the hit state of the object. For me, from my limited and dated perspective, the building and destroying and infinitely looping class sounds cumbersome, load heavy and possibly unnecessary. I am likely way off base, but would like to know the reasoning and advantages of the approach as i am re-learning Flash and trying to get current - so go easy on me please ;) Does your data change during the session or scale dramatically?

This process loops for as many sublevels exist. The problem comes when I want to destroy them. For example, if someone is at the first item of the second level and out pops the third level, then the user rolls out of the second level back to the first. In this case, the third level should be destroyed. The problem is that I have no way to communicate to my infinitely looping class that we've regressed a level. The same problem occurs when the user is at the second level on the first item and scrolls to the second. At the first item, a third level of items will pop out (assuming such exist) but they won't be destroyed when the user scrolls to the second item of the second level because I have no way to communicate with my infinitely looping script what transpired. I need a way to add these levels as children of a class that somehow gets called every time the infinitely looping class gets called yet doesn't start from a fresh slate each time so that I can keep track of all the levels and their associated children being added to the stage. I hope that was clear :-} TIA, John -- ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

RE: [Flashcoders] ReferenceError: Error #1065 issue
Thanks Mario!
I actually found the solution to this. It was my own mistake, of course.
I've got a base level swf loading in a child swf which contains the super
class and subclass mentioned below. Turns out the loading swf also uses the
super class, and I hadn't recompiled it in the process. It was loading the
older version of the super class into memory first, so the updated
definition compiled into the child swf was not being used.
Thanks again for your response,
Bob

If you override that function like so, does it compile (to make sure the

correct)?
override protected function mthGetPDataTag(stgInput:String) :String

trace('call worked')

[Flashcoders] What REALLY causes an IOError?
Hi all, I am trying to drill deeper into Flash player IOError handling in AS3, in order to distinguish different types of load failures when loading child swfs and data into a parent swf. For instance, I need to know, and react differently to, loads errors where the file is missing altogether vs. loads where severe network congestion mid-load interrupts a load after a part of the file has been received. Can anyone offer some deeper information on exactly what initial condition(s) triggers an IOError event? Is it time-based (no bytes loaded in N ms), a reaction to a server response, something else? I've been googling and reading through Adobe docs all morning and haven't seen anything deeper than the often repeated, but largely unhelpful Adobe line: FlashR Player dispatches an IOErrorEvent object when an error causes a send or load operation to fail. I'm looking for more depth than that. A definition of error and the criteria used to decide the load was a failure, for instance, would be a good start. Any info. or directions to look would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] getting loader to work with security policy...
Hi Boyd,
Yes, you'll need to do import flash.system.Security; to use the
loadPolicyFile method.
Also, in your crossdomain.xml, you'll need to include
allow-access-from domain=www.boyd-speer.com/, or
allow-access-from domain=*.boyd-speer.com/
The way it is coded now will only allow the specific domain,
http://boyd-speer.com. Any differences to that (www, dev, etc.) will cause a
mismatch and the domain will not be allowed.

[Flashcoders] smooth animation
Hi I am working on a flash piece in which there is a band of 9 jpegs that slowly move horizontally along the screen in a never ending band (the images are repeated to the left as they exit to the right). My client still perceives the movement as choppy. I have tried basic tricks like onEnterFrame and Tween() and a plain old timeline tween. The movement speed is very slow at 1px at 31fps. I've made it slightly smoother by checking each jpg to allow smoothing. Are there any other tricks at the newbie level or flashcoder level? Or is this something inherent in flash or related to the viewing hardware? Thank you very much robert ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] smooth animation
Hi all Thank you for the feedbacks and pointers to possible trouble spots. At this point I am getting info on the client's hardware but I suspect I'll be back with a url for other opinions :/ well it is Friday at least :) robert On Jun 6, 2008, at 9:12 AM, Zeh Fernando wrote: It depends on what's the actual problem. Allow smoothing won't help you unless you're talking about REAL slow (subpixel) moving or transformations like rotation and scale. Using tweening extensions - tweener, tweenlite, tweenmax, go, fuse, etc - is a given. But other than that, if the thing still looks choppy, the bottleneck is most probably with image rendering - that'll depend on area used, blending modes, your framerate, whether there's something else on top or below the image, what's using cacheAsBitmap and what's not, whether you have filters, etc. And on that case, allow smoothing would actually make the thing worse. So I'd say, find the bottleneck and attack it. There's no magic trick. You have to know your enemy. Trying to solve rendering issues with different tweening extensions won't give you any positive result, and the contrary is also true. So those aren't really tricks; it's more about doing the thing right from the start. There's a lot of combinations that will really drag the player performance down.

RE: [Flashcoders] Firefox popup blocker and flash 9
This is probably not what your client wants to hear but the question has to
be asked. Isn't Firefox popup blocker there for a reason? When blocking is
active there is a message when a popup is attempted. Users have the choice
to block or not, or to white-list your popups. I recommend allowing them
that choice.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 For loop proplem
Hi SJM,
It looks like you're setting the persistent var, _mcName, to equal each
_summaryElement[i].sumImg in turn as the loop progresses. That means that when
the loop is finished, the value for _mcName will be a reference to
_summaryElement[4].sumImg, the last clip being loaded. Since your loop
undoubtedly runs faster than the loading process, what your imgLoadComplete
handler is actually doing is this,
_summaryElement[4].sumImg.addChild(ev.target.content). It wouldn't be
surprising if you looked at the contents of _summaryElement[4].sumImg and found
that all the images are added to its display list as each load completes.
I would either get rid of the persistent var and find a way to use an ID number
to link the loaded images and the containers, OR add this line to your
loadImage method, _mcName.addChild(imageLoader);, and forget the event listener
(at least for doing the addChild).
Hth,
Bob

Re: [Flashcoders] Double lines from PHP
no idea what your form data in php looks like, but you could probably use nl2br in there and the output (xml?) doesn't include \n or \r but simply br as needed. Anyway I think on Windows you get a \r\n combo. for flash, you need to strip out the \r. then \n remains and as far as I recall for AS2, the \n is still interpreted regardless of htmlText. so finally you need to strip out the \n and replace that with br.

RE: [Flashcoders] Button addEventListener is cancelled out by my Timerfunction.
Hi Vlado,
It looks like your button is probably on the timeline rather than make
instantiated with code. Make sure your button exists before you do the
addEventListener() on frame 25. Also, do you maybe have a key frame in the
button layer at frame 65? If so, each key frame creates a new instance of
the button and any properties of the new instance will have the default
values until you reset them. To avoid the problem you described, just remove
the key frames and give your button a continuous, uninterrupted layer for
the whole length of the time line that you need it.

RE: [Flashcoders] on exit/close event
Putting an onPreUnload javascript function in the page's Body tag might be more reliable.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Sound = wtf
Yeah sound was a bit of code, test, re-read documentation, trail, and error process. I ended up creating an internal class called tSound (light class with 2 members) that contained a Sound and a SoundChannel that is used in a SoundManager for individual sounds. I used the SoundMixer to control global sound. You alway have to instantiate a new SoundTransform when you want to manipulate either the volume or the pan for an individual sound or the SoundMixer itself. Which I don't like. I haven't implemented converting ByteArrays to Sounds as I haven't the need for it. My next step is adding positional sound when I get the chance to. Just wanted to put my 2 cents in. Cheers, R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Runtime shared library loading problem
I think that the issue is that the file (SWF) loading is taking place relative to the url of the root clip. There are various ways to see network traffic, including Live HTTP Headers (plugin for Firefox), Wireshark (network packet sniffer), there's also an addon for IE that does HTTP monitoring although I can't think of its name off the top of my head. These could confirm the full paths that are being requested. You should be able to dynamically find the current base url in actionscript, although its not too pretty as I recall. You could also just pass in the based URL and parse it internally to normalize for the different paths; or if possible just use absolute urls and/or server-relative urls. Hi, I have a flash movieclip container that I use to load all my swf files. I use SWFObject to load this flash container inside the html file and I pass my swf filename as a variable. This works fine as long as my swf files do not contain objects that need to be loaded at runtime. When I have such objects, they do not seem to get loaded. If I load my swf file directly using SWFObject and specify base param to indicate the path to the runtime files, it works fine. The problem happens only when I load my swf file through a container. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks Kannan -- Robert r.

Re: [Flashcoders] adapt architecture to facilitate switching component sets
Sounds to me that your over complicating a bit. What you probably could
do is provide a base set of classes for you model/data and then one or
more adapters to add the needed conversion to and from framework
specifics. In general I think that while ease of reuse is a great idea,
you aren't going to be able to achieve it 100% anyway, so its best to
find a compromise between ease of use and ease of reuse (amongst other
considerations). In general it seems to be that actually switching a UI
framework is a major undertaking to begin with (they usually have all
sorts of changes required not just of the model code but also of the
skins, graphics, etc) that it is usually best to pick one and stick with
it until or unless it becomes less painful to switch than to keep using
the existing framework.
Hans Wichman wrote:
Hi,
we are looking into using another component set than the v2 architecture.
However we don't want to switch over and over again, and frankly as the
architecture developer I dont want anything to do with components at all.
So I was thinking about a setup where I write component interfaces
such as
IComboBox and a set of wrappers such as V2ComboBoxAdapter implements
IComboBox.
Next a designer creates a view, and puts something in his view like (im
making it up as I'm typing) :
getComboBox (id:String):IComboBox {
return AbstractFactory.create (V2Adapters.COMBO_BOX, _root.cbPersons);
}
In terms of being independent of my views, I can just start putting an
app
together and if the designer dude wants to skin it differently or use a
whole other component set he is free to do so, even mix and match is an
option.
The main thing I'm wondering about is whether I'm gruesomely
overcomplicating things and just causing a heckload of work for no good
reason other than that I am not familiar with a single very good
component
set that satisfies all the designer needs (I'm not saying they don't
exist,
I'm saying I don't have enough experience in any of them to make a
wellformed decision, and don't really have the time to test them one by
one:)).
Hope this makes any sense!

Re: [Flashcoders] How do I get rid of enhanced stroke?
Recent versions of illustrator create enhanced strokes even if there is no enhancement. Save the file as a lower version (Flash 8 to Flash MX) then open it up and save again to your current version. The strokes should resolve themselves. With Flash CS3 this problem is fixed I think. google enhanced stroke flash for some hints.

Re: [Flashcoders] another stupid XML question
for me i'd parse the entire xml in one go when the swf is loading. In parsing, save each subsection of the xml data into an array. When the button needs it, simply access the array. this is not a stupid question because I've seen similar scenarios in which the xml was completely reloaded only to target the desired subsection of the xml.

Re: [Flashcoders] border styles for TextArea component
John -- Your postings led me to look into this further. I found the answer in this livedocs item, Using ActionScript to draw Button skins: http://tinyurl.com/282gze You'll see from the Comments at the end that the AS code didn't seem to work. This might be because the instructions are ambiguous on which type of new symbol (named ButtonSkin) to create; it works OK with ButtonSkin created as a movie clip. The second Comment gives a link that is very useful, dealing with all the quirky terms for button states. (It turns out that a button that has focus is in emphasized states; a button that has been made to toggle on is in the true states; toggle off puts the button in false states, a perverse term because this is the state buttons are normally in.) The key to controlling the settable features of RectBorder is lineStyle. The three parameters in the example (additionally parameters can follow these) are thickness for line width (0 would be hairline), 0 for line color (black; any other color would be 0xrrggbb hexadecimal terms), and 100 for alpha. -- Bob Hadsell From: john robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] border styles for TextArea component Date: Wed, 2 May 2007 13:46:18 -0400 Thanks!

Subject: [Flashcoders] MovieClip.loadMovie(), unloadMovie() and
attachMovie()
Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 21:44:52 + (UTC)
I am rather new to Flash and ActionScript. I think maybe I am not quite
understanding how I should properly being using these functions and hoping
someone can enlighten me.
I am trying to write a general sort of player. I have an empty MovieClip
placeholder on the stage (let's call it 'mc') I want to be able to load
content
into and then replace with other content.
Sometimes what I want to load in an external SWF file, and sometimes I
want
to load a MovieClip that is within the library of my top-level movie. I
don't
have any problem doing this:
mc.loadMovie('myMovie.swf');
// detect end of that movie, then:
mc.unloadMovie();
mc.loadMovie('myMovie.swf'); // just run same one again
So, mc is still there after unloadMovie() and I can load and play the
same
thing again using the same stage instacne. I also don't have any problem
doing
this:
mc.attachMovie('myLinkIdentifier', 'myInstanceName',
mc.getNextHighestDepth());
// detect end of that movie, then:
mc.attachMovie('myLinkIdentifier', 'myInstanceName',
mc.getNextHighestDepth());
(I realize the code above is creating more instance on top of one
another and
using up more memory. That's fine - I have seen the animation example (Tofu
Hunter) that came with it. The important part is that I can still attach a
symbol after having already done so.)
What I can't seem to get working the way I would expect is to be able to
load
a SWF, then unload it, then attach a library MovieClip symbol to the same
placeholder. Something like this:
mc.loadMovie('myMovie.swf');
// detect end of that movie, then:
mc.unloadMovie();
mc.attachMovie('myLinkIdentifier', 'myInstanceName',
mc.getNextHighestDepth());
Maybe there's some logical reason to not be able to do this, but I guess
I'm
just not seeing it. Can someone please explain this in a little more
detail?
Thanks,
-ej

Re: [Flashcoders] Animating Character Movement
Try the State Pattern. I have successfully used this in a line of games
I did for a client.
The Quick and Dirty explanation:
Each state knows what it needs to do. On a change state the old state
exits and the new state enters. On
an update (onEnterFrame) the state is handled (it does what it needs to
accomplish). Any state can be interrupted to go into another state.
Each state implements an interface.
In my games I had a hierarchical state pattern (states within states)
and the root state was in the game manager
which held all the game logic methods that states could use to
accomplish whatever task they wanted.
More info (cleaner and clearer) here:

Hey Dan,
I've had a bit of a struggle with this too. I've tried a few ways of
doing it, but have settled on having all state/animations in a
MovieClip on the first frame of the character MovieClip, and then
functions to show and hide whichever animations you need eg:
turnRightFromLeft()
{
paddleLeftMC.visible = false;
idleLeftMC.visible = false;
idleRightMC.visible = false
idleCentre.gotoAndPlay(turnRightFromLeft); // at the end of this
animation, it calls back to set 'paddleRightMC.visible = true';
}
It's quite long winded, and you still need a state machine to work out
which functions you need to call, but the other ways I tried were
vastly more complex, and introducing a new animation at a later date
was a real headache.

I've never programmed a moving character before, so I'm looking for some

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: generating new instances dynamically?
I associate my AS2 classes to my library symbols through
Object.registerClass(LibraryID, ClassName).
Where:
LibraryID is an identifier in the FLA of a movie clip.
ClassName is a class that eventually extends a Movieclip.
I have a RegisterClasses singleton that is the first thing that is
called before I start my application manager. I
just change the code in RegisterClasses if I have a different version of
a particular class and if I compile with
MTASC I don't have to open up the FLA.
When attaching a movie clip I just use the attachMovie method and if I
wanted to pass arguments to the
constructor I would use the 4th argument and pass an object. The object
members are equivalent to
members of the class. For example passing {something:value} in the
method gives the class a member called
something when the constructor hits.
Just wanted to add my way too!
Ciao,
Rob.

To be honest, I've always found that alot of hassle just to attach a movieclip.
I've never bought into the createClassObject/createObject-way used by the v2

If all you're after is the correct type when using attachMovie, do the
following.
private var customClip:CustomClip
private function onLoad() {
var mc:CustomClip = CustomClip(this.attachMovie(CustomClip, customClip,
this.getNextHighestDepth()));
// calling non-existing method - throws error
mc.someMethod();
}
Doesn't get any easier than that if you ask me.
Of course, in AS3 attachMovie is gone and we can just use:
var mc:CustomClip = new CustomClip();

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: generating new instances dynamically?
This discussion is very interesting, so I would like to offer my
approach of attaching/construction of visual classes. I am open for
optimization hints.
I am using something like this:
1) THE CLASS EXTENDING MOVIECLIP
class com.path.MyVisual extends MovieClip
{
public static var _SYMBOL_NAME:String = __Packages.com.path.MyVisual;
public static var _SYMBOL_OWNER:Function = MyVisual;
public static var _SYMBOL_LINKED =
Object.registerClass(_SYMBOL_NAME,_SYMBOL_OWNER);
private var __width:Number;
private var __text:String;
public static function create(target:MovieClip, initObject:Object,
depth:Number, name:String):MyVisual
{
depth = (depth!=undefined?depth:target.getNextHighestDepth());
name = (name!=undefined?name:myVisual+depth);
return MyVisual(target.attachMovie(MyVisual._SYMBOL_NAME, name,
depth, initObject));
}
public static function createInitObject(width:Number, text:String):Object
{
return {
__width: width,
__text: text};
}
private function MyVisual()
{
// I can use __width and __text here, if I like so.
}
}
2) THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN INSTANCE
I use the static create/createInitObject methods. The latter gives me
its signature when the editor supports code completion. This way, it
feels like a constructor and I get the correct type returned:
var mv:MyVisual = MyVisual.create(this, MyVisual.createInitObject(200,
Hello World));
Have fun,
Matthias

Re: [Flashcoders] Implications of using GPL'ed libraries?
It has always been the FSF's position that dynamically linking applications to libraries creates a single work derived from both the library code and the application code. The GPL requires that all derivative works be licensed under the GPL, an effect which can be described as hereditary. So, if an application links to a library licensed under the GPL, the application too must be licensed under the GPL. By contrast, libraries licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) may be linked to proprietary applications. Source: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-java.html FSF == Free Software Foundation If you have to go the GPL route, you can tell your employers that all the code is in the SWF anyway, making it available just takes away an extra step from the process of acquiring the code. This has some good FAQs: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html Good Luck, Rob.

Re: [Flashcoders] Forms between JSP and Flash
If memory serves me right try this:
?
$xml = success;
print xml=$xml;
?
$xml is a variable that holds the data and xml will be the member of the
LoadVars instance in flash when
the onLoad event is triggered.
Quick Example:
class Test
{
var lv:LoadVars = new
some method
{
...
lv.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, response);
lv.load(a_php_url, lv, method);
...
}
response(success:Boolean)
{
trace(lv.xml);
}
}
That should work.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: generating new instances dynamically?
If it is a movie clip you want to instantiate then you have to use:

The class associated with it will construct and the onLoad event will
trigger if it is being listened to.

The second class is an object in the library with an ID and an assosiated

For instance you won't be able to have 2 instances of the same class run an interval at the same time, which might not be what you're after. If you want to manage intervals better than the built in way (which is non-existant), google for setInterval manager and I'm sure something useful will turn up.

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
pulling the data every time that frame comes up.
Is this called on a timeline with many frames and no stop()? If so, I
think you are setting a completely new interval on each loop of the
frames.
If you want this thing to fire once each minute put it somewhere
outside of this loop of frames and call the setInterval
I don't know how your project is set up but alternative is to check
if the interval exists and don't spawn a new one, something like:
frame 1:
if (_global.initLoop == undefined) {
_global.initLoop = setInterval(intervalLoop, 6);
}
this way your setInterval is called once and will do its thing every
minute and independent of the timeline activity.

Re: [Flashcoders] Finding the height and width of the VISIBLE area of a masked SWF
With your second explanation, the problem you are having is clearer. About a year ago, I developed an application where I had a container that loaded SWFs from other developers. I contacted all the developers with the dimensions and the FPS the SWF container is being built on and sent them an API to communicate with the container. It made my life a little easier. The problem was that some developers didn't conform to the API or read the docs, which led to last minute phone conferences to explain how to use the API, but that is besides the point. Because you have no control of those properties, I believe there isn't a viable fix other than getting the loaded SWF dimensions from the movieclip reference. From what I remember; if the SWF you are loading is built at a faster FPS than your container they will run slower and the loaded SWF may not account for that. Example; your container is 12 FPS and the loaded SWF is 24 FPS, the loaded SWF will run at 12 FPS. They might not be checking the current FPS and adjust their parameters for time based movement. The only other thing I can think of, but I haven't dealt with was changing the scale mode of the stage to showAll or exactFit. I am not sure this will help though and this will affect the container SWF as well. Let me know if you do figure this out another way, I would be interesting to know. Cheers, Rob. matt stuehler wrote: Claus, That's a great suggestion - the best answers are often the overlooked, obvious ones. But I don't think so - in the original SWFs, the masks aren't movieclips - they're just fills. So, I don't know how you'd check their width or height. The key thing about the application is that I won't know anything about the SWFs that are being loaded. My app should simply load a swf into a container movieclip, then attempt to scale it to fit the stage, and center it. Ordinarily, I can just check the container._width and container._height to accomplish this. But I've tested a few SWFs that weren't working properly, and that's when I discovered that they were using masks, which throws off the _width and _height. I can't assume that the SWFs will use a movieclip as a mask. Thanks again for your advice.

this.filters. When you say it works
do you mean it compiles ok or that onPress the card acts the way it
should visually? Took a quick look at UIComponent and didn't see them
there either.. I wouldn't be surprised if you traced those two
calls and they would be undefined.
Hope this helps,
Rob.

Hello,
I'm trying to create a v2 component representing a deck
of playing cards and I have a problem, which I believe is
very common, but I can't find a solution on the net yet.
My code is simple and is listed completely at the bottom.
And the problem is, that when I assign an event handler to
each (child) card MC in my cards_array this way (is it called
closure?) in the Deck.createChildren(), then it works ok:
card.onPress = function() {
this.setDepthTo(DepthManager.kTop);
this.filters = _parent.shadow_array;
}
But when I try to move the code above into a separate
method of the parent Deck class like this:
card.onPress = raiseCard;
or even:
card.onPress = Delegate.create(card, raiseCard);
Then the compiler will complain - even though I believe the
scope (the card) is correct - and the Deck.as won't compile:
**Error** Deck.as: There is no method with the name 'setDepthTo'.
this.setDepthTo(DepthManager.kTop);
What is the workaround here? Thank you
Regards
Alex

Try adding:

Should do it.
I always thought adding a textfield to the stage was absurd so I've
created a movieclip with a textfield and then added a linkage id to
that. The textfield needn't be wide or tall.
then instead of createTextField just do attachMovie:
var tb1:MovieClip = this.attachMovie('mytextbox_mc', tb1,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
tb1.text_tf._width = 200;
tb1.text_tf.multiline = true;
tb1.text_tf.wordWrap = true;
tb1.text_tf.autoSize = true;
tb1.text_tf.text = 'Maecenas pellentesque cursus est. ...';
tb1._x = 300;
tb1._y = 100;
I never had to apply TextFormat but I suspect it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] sync flv with swf

My Flash devel knowledge is in a somewhat interesting state in that I know the basics and some advanced parts of AS2 programming, but don't really know much at all about using Flash itself (timeline, creating UI objects in the FLA, etc). I've found a few training courses that I could go to, but the ones that look useful to me (the more advanced programming ones) have prereqs of the simpler classes, where most of the material is stuff I already know, with just a few things that I don't. For instance, this class: http://www.trainsimple.com/courses/advanceddesign.html has a lot of things I'd like to learn (Tween, extending MovieClip) but has prereqs requiring both basic AS knowledge which I have and basic Flash design stuff (Rich Content Creation), which I don't have. I don't know if I'd be able to get the company to have me take more than one training course in the near term, and for what I'm doing the advanced class would be much more useful, but I'm not sure if I would have trouble in it due to not knowing the design stuff. Has anyone here been in a similar situation and found training that was helpful without duplicating a lot of what you already knew? Does anyone have any suggestions on training courses that would be good, or even just training companies that people have found to be good?

I think this is what you want:
with this swf inside folder1-html:
mc.loadMovie('../folder_with_images/image1.jpg')

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Preloader when TOTAL size of assets not known
You might also use a double percentage: e.g. one view showing loading for each file as a % (if you wanted) and the other simply showing a % of the number of files. Depending on you setup it also shouldn't be too difficult to write something server side to do something like scan the XML and insert file sizes into it (or report them via a second channel). [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Using a XML config file to load in a number of image assets. i was wondering what approach is best taken when you want to create some type of a 'percent loaded' display, not knowing the combined total size of all assets... Is there an easy solution to this without 'faking' it or hardcoding the total size? Perhaps using PHP on the back end?

Re: [Flashcoders] flash on osx thru parallels/bootcamp
Thank you for your tips. I'm sorry I think I wasn't clear. Initially I ran a .swf in Parallels and the performance was incredible which ignited my interest to what else Parallels could do. I was thinking of using the Flash IDE for PC on my Mac via Parallels, that way the OS X doesn't need to invoke Rosetta. So while waiting for comments last night I installed Flash IDE for PC (trial version) on my Parallels and it does fell pretty snappy. Only problem so far is my Parallels didn't have some projects' fonts installed and I needed to copy over the class files because the IDE couldn't find them on the Mac/PC shared directory. At this point I've only attempted to publish some projects but not start up anything new. I was just curious if anyone else had done that and had any comments. On Jan 24, 2007, at 6:23 AM, Andy Herrman wrote: I haven't tried it at all, so I may be way off here, but: If you're having performance problems, try playing around with the VM settings in Parallels. Specifically, take a look at how much RAM parallels is giving to the VM. If that value is too low then the virtual machine won't have enough RAM to use, so it will end up thrashing (paging stuff back and forth to disk). This can cause serious performance problems. Try upping the RAM and see if that helps. I assume you're running XP in the virtual machine. I want to say you should give it at least 512MB of ram, though if you're running a lot of things other than Parallels and only have a gig or so of RAM in your machine then you may not have that much to spare. You'll have to experiment. -Andy ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] Running Flash Application on a local network
Look up the FlashPlayerTrust files. I wrote a NullSoft Install script that simply created a trust file for drive letter it was launched from and then loaded the default web browser on the local html file (which in turn referenced the SWF). If you are just running an SWF you might try one of the SWF to EXE converters, I am not familiar with them,but I believe they handle the security issues for you. vipin chandran wrote: This is a flat network share and the html file will be accessed from within the LAN. Locally everything is working fine, but when i share the folder and try to access the file, content is not loading (xml). I am using normal XML class for loading the xml.

[Flashcoders] flash on osx thru parallels/bootcamp
Hi I'm curious if anyone is using Flash IDE on OS X, but doing it thru Parallels. I'm on a Mac Book Pro with 2.33 GHz core duos and it feels like the same speed to publish on this or my old powerbook. I really noticed a difference when I ran a swf (it was only the flash player though).

If you want web based then your options are: 1. Try and embed the ActiveX into a page and then use javascript to communicate with the Flash 'applet'; probably has licensing issue(s) as well as technical issues. 2. Use a server-side backend; the downside here is that since Flash compresses mic. input into a proprietary format there may not be a way to get it out into a format usable to your recognition engine. -- Robert r.
