Re: [Flashcoders] Re: [flexcoders] Re: Caching problem
Much better approach! Now, my question is, what do people do to prevent caching of swf files themselves? Here's the setup: I'm deploying a business app, and want all users to see the update to the SWF. However, I don't want to tell everyone to clear their cache. Should I just pass a version number to the swf request, to update to that point, ie - point to: $vers = 1.0.2; $path = /flash/myMovie.swf?vers= . $vers; object file=$path...etc. Is there a best practice for this kind of thing? I'm also curious how this will apply to Module development in Flex. How do I make sure that people have current modules, without blasting their cache, every time?

Re: [Flashcoders] brain is dead: Syntax Error, why?
You probably need to tell flash where to find your classes.
If this is flash 8, open your .fla and select
- Edit - Preferences - ActionScript
- Language: Actionscript 2.0 Settings... (button)
- Classpath: [+] (plus button)
- type in: ./as (to open field)
This will let flash look in that folder for your class packages - this
affects all flash projects. If you want to set it on a project-level basis,
select:
- File - Publish Settings - Flash - Actionscript 2.0: Settings (button)
And set it there!
Good luck! If all else fails, post your code in a zip and we'll take a look.

I would suggest the Java style:
com.company_name.project_name.package.class
that's what I've been doing!
I have a folder, which is Version1
inside that I have my FLA
bia_region_map.fla
Then I have a folder called 'as' which has an as file 'firstframe.as'
then, I have the following structure:
com/3Sixty/BIARegionMap/
inside of which I have:

does that help?
Where am I going wrong!

Re: [Flashcoders] Embed JS for flash 9 content
Take a look at Adobe's player detection:

Have you looked at using the Express Install option, seperately from
swfobject?:
SRC: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/swfobject_print.html
#include expressinstall.as
// initialize the ExpressInstall object
var ExpressInstall = new ExpressInstall();
// if the user needs to upgrade, show the 'start upgrade' button
if (ExpressInstall.needsUpdate) {
// this is optional, you could also automatically start the
// upgrade by calling ExpressInstall.init() here instead of the
following lines
// attach the custom upgrade message and center it
var upgradeMsg = attachMovie(upgradeMsg_src, upgradeMsg, 1);
upgradeMsg._x = Stage.width / 2;
upgradeMsg._y = Stage.height / 2;
// attach the button actions that will start the ExpresInstall updater
upgradeMsg.upgradeBtn.onRelease = function() {
// the ExpressInstall.init() method is what kicks off the actual update
ExpressInstall.init();
}
// if expressinstall is invoked, stop the timeline.

Re: [Flashcoders] Long URLs Getting Truncated from Flash
Slickest method is to POST vars rather than GET. Sorry if it isn't feasible. However, your lookup table may hold some promise. -Scott On 1/22/07, Jason Lutes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I realized that I forgot to give my e-mail a pertinent subject line after I sent it. Sorry about that. What's a slick way to bypass the restrictions imposed as Flash automatically truncates URLs (to 128 characters) that are used as values of HREF attributes in HTML text or as arguments passed to getURL? One of our clients needs long URLs to open in a browser from the Flash application. Right now, they are allowed to specifiy the URLs in an XML file. Will I have to downgrade usability for them by creating some kind of mapping mechanism where I store the URLs in JavaScript and merely refer to look-up table indexes in the XML? - Jason ___ 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 -- : : ) Scott ___ 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
[Flashcoders] Flash 9 - Express Install
Geoff, This appears to be working fine for me. I have yet to put this into production.. Thanks!!, -Scott On 10/30/06, Geoff Stearns [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: it sounds to me like what is happening is that the user has a version less than flash 8 installed, so they *should* get the expressinstall prompt, but that probably isn't working. mostlikely the code wasn't implemented properly in your swf. for the next release of swfobject i'm fixing this to make it more foolproof (failproof?) by using a separate swf for the expressinstall parts. this was mainly because it's required now for flash 9 swfs that use as3... so if you are interested in testing out the new version, you are welcome to grab it and try it. just note that the expressinstall stuff works a little differently... you should be able to see how it works by looking at the example expressinstall.html page. http://blog.deconcept.com/code/swfobject2.0/ if anyone else wants to try it out, feel free... we are using it here at schematic for a flash 9 project and haven't had any issues with it yet, so it appears to be pretty solid, but if anyone has any feedback feel free to send it along to me.

Re: [Flashcoders] Multi-dimensional array problems in classes
I agree with previous, however, it is good to deal with references in
classes. Best design for your 2D array depends on what it's intended for?:
var reactionStoichiometry:Array = new Array ();
public function addItem( newArr:Array ):Number {
//returns len(?)
return reactionStoichiometry.push( newArr );
}
used like:
var yorObject:YourClass = new YourClass();
var newArr:Array = new Array (1, 3, 2, 0),
yorObject.addItem( newArr );
yorObject.addItem( new Array( 1,2,1,0 ) );
...etc

BTW, Classes love Objects of all types regardless of the arrays.
Just a hint.
Often multi-dimensional arrays are just crying out to be single arrays
of objects and if their wish is granted, your code becomes amazingly
small and elegant as your reward for granting their wish.
Help make an array's wish become true!!! If you pass this on to 6
programmers in the next 24 hours, you will be granted good karma for a
year.

When you assign dynamic or more complex values, and especially if you
don't want this array to be shared (by reference) to all instances of
the class, it's best to initialize in the constructor.
There aren't any limitations on multidim. arrays in objects, classes,
or objects in classes and so on. I suspect the particular syntax you
used was not correct, hence your issues. It'd help to post this instead.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Multi-dimensional array problems in classes
Hi there,
Does anyone know if it we are supposed to use multi-dimensional arrays
(an array consisting of arrays) within a class? If so, what is the
best, legal way to create them?
The only way I have managed to do it is by this method:
var reactionStoichiometry:Array = new Array (
new Array (1, 3, 2, 0),
new Array (1, 2, 1, 0),
new Array (2, 1, 2, 0),
new Array (2, 0, 1, 3),
new Array (2, 0, 2, 1),
new Array (1, 0, 1, 1),
new Array (1, 1, 2, 0),
new Array (1, 1, 2, 0),
new Array (1, 1, 1, 1));
Any other ways of creating them give me a compile error saying that
they
are not allowed within a class. I need to assign these values
dynamically, the above ones a for testing, and would prefer to do it by
addressing the locations in the main array by position number for
inserting the other arrays within it. Classes don't seem to like
Objects containing arrays either.
Many thanks,
Gareth Hudson.

Re: [Flashcoders] overwriting a class
I would suggest implementing interfaces, as a good practice:
interface ISpeakable
{
function speak();
}
class myClass implements ISpeakable
{
function speak() {}
}
this lets you pass around instances that implement your interface and to
change behaviors at runtime, such as:
class TestClass
{
private var speaker:ISpeakable;
public function setSpeaker( spkr:ISpeakable ) {
speaker = spkr;
}
}
Not sure it's close to what you're looking for, but can be good practice in
large apps.

No, don't delete anything. Why not use method overwriting?
class myBaseClass(){
function speak(){
trace(greeting)
}
}
class myHelloClass extends myBaseClass{
function speak(){
trace(Hello)
}
}
class myWhatsUpClass extends myBaseClass{
function speak(){
trace(What's Up?)
}
}
then create instances of the ones you want to use

Subject: [Flashcoders] overwriting a class
Hi,
I am looking for advice about swapping classes of the same
name but using different methods.
Let's consider three classes:
class SomeClass
{
public function meth()
{
trace(meth of skin SomeClass VERSION 0);
}
}
//
class SomeClass
{
public function meth()
{
trace(meth of skin SomeClass VERSION 1);
}
}
//
class SomeClass
{
public function meth()
{
trace(meth of skin SomeClass VERSION 2);
someNewMethod();
}
private function someNewMethod()
{
trace(something new...);
}
}
The first of those is imported into a main.swf file. I can make an
instance:
var Q:SomeClass = new SomeClass();
Q.meth() // traces : meth of skin SomeClass VERSION 0
The next two classes are imported in: one storage1.swf and
the other, storage2.swf
Both .swf files are loaded into the main.swf. First the
storage1.swf and next storage2.swf. But before loading, I
delete the class:
trace(SomeClass) // out: [type Function] delete SomeClass
trace(SomeClass) // out: undefined
And after loading the storage1.swf I can make again an
instance of SomeClass:
var Q1:SomeClass = new SomeClass();
Q1.meth() // traces: meth of skin SomeClass VERSION 1
It uses a new version of meth().
Now I delete the SomeClass class:
delete SomeClass
... and load somewhere into the stage of main.swf the
storage2.swf file. After loading the first one I can make a
new instance of
SomeClass:
var Q2:SomeClass = new SomeClass();
Q2.meth() // traces: meth of skin SomeClass VERSION 2
// something new...
and so on, deleting an loading a new version
Now the question:
The same class name, the same method name, eventually other,
new methods of the same class and deleting the class
Could this be a good way to overwrite classes ? I tested it
and works. Flash allows deleting classes. But maybe I am not
aware of some resulting problems.
Is is ok in terms of good programing practices ?
Thanks,
Greg

Re: [Flashcoders] Multidimensional Object/Array Question
item.mediums = new Array();
Should be fine, however:
item.mediums[item.mediums.length]['id'] = m[i_m].attributes.id;
Looks like you're trying to access a 2D array or Object in array, so you
would have to do something like:
var medium:Object = new Object();
medium.id = m[i_m].attributes.id;
medium.name = m[i_m].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
.
.
item.mediums.push( medium );
This doesn't mean that what you're doing is necessarily a best practice, but
I'm not sure what your motivation is to do so. If you simply want to access
xml as a more manageable data object, you can use things like XPath or
Xml2Object(?).

Re: [Flashcoders] Remove elements from Array
he told me was that FLEX could not consume web services without Flex Data Services Uh, no. You can consume webservices in Flex. I'm guessing it must conform to SOAP, which shouldn't be a problem. .NET, CF, all good. Is this true, or can FLEX consume a web serivce but with limiations? By limitations, for example, not being able to consume a .Net dataset directly - needing to pass the data into an array. Not sure what you mean by that. You can hook up to a webservice. You cannot hook up 'directly' to .NET, if you mean some kind of remoting connection (RTMP?), unless you set something up like that in .NET. PHP has AMFPHP and CF has Flash Remoting built in. However, you could set up a socket server in .NET and hook flex 2 directly to that, since it now has binary socket functionality. -Scott On 12/22/06, Brake, Stephen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a Flex question.

[Flashcoders] Timeline motion tween: disappears (not good)
I have a strange problem (Flash 8) where the designer created motion tweens on the timeline, which causes clips to fade in / out. She used the properties dropdown box to set alpha, then created a motion tween between two keyframes to accomplish her fades. This site is built dynamically, through attaching clips from library. Sometimes the tweens magically disappear, and you just see the clips visibly pop in and out, rather than fading smoothly. NOW, this is the kicker - when the tweens disappear, my fix is to delve down into the offending timeline, check that it's all there, then compile. POOF - the tween is magically working again! So - I can get the tweens back, but it's rather annoying to do this all the time. Also, I hate leaving random Flash bugs floating around, so any insights appreciated. Have a feeling this will be just one more phantom Flash problem floating in a project. For some reason, I must have at least one per project!

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 OOP Class Structure for simple pong type game
Have you actually implemented an event system like this in games? It seems
like a good idea, but for some reason I always thought this approach would
introduce unnecessary latency, but now I'm not sure why!

Another possible strategy is for the ball to fire off an event every
time it crosses certain vertical location thresholds. The target

location to test for a collision.
For example, when the ball descends to the row containing the paddle, it
fires that event, and the paddle, receiving it, tests for collision.
When the ball ascends to the first row of bricks, those bricks each test
for collsion. This might be a performance improvement over testing
every object in the system all the time.

That would be one way. Although it is rather limiting. I'm assuming
that the ball will bounce whenever it hits an object.
Perhaps create an array of bounceObjects[];
function addBounceObject(obj:Object):Number{
return bounceObjects.push(obj);
}
Then you could create your hit tracker.
function checkCollisions(){
var len:Number = bounceObjects.length;
// Loop through and check all objects hitting the ball
for(var i:Number = 0; i len; i++){
// Check each object hit ball
if(this.hitTest(bounceObjects[i])){
this.bounce(); // Bounce the ball
bounceObject[i].onHitByBall();
}
}
}
Have your onEnterFrame functions run checkCollisions every time.
That
way you check for hits against the paddle, bricks etc.
The bounceObject[i].onHitByBall() would execute a function in that
objects code that would say what to do when it was hit by a ball. In
the
instance of a paddele do nothing, a brick - destory it!

Thanks for the reply Dan
Not quite sure how the Ball references the Paddle or alternatively
the
CollisionController references the ball and paddle.
My Game class creates the Ball and Paddle as follows:
mcPaddle = new Paddle(mcReference, paddle_mc, 50, 100, 289);
var vBall_Object = new Ball(mcReference, ball_mc, 100, 160, 240);
arrBallObjects.push(vBall_Object);
If I wanted to give the Ball a reference to the paddle, would I do
something
like this? (see last parameter)
var vBall_Object = new Ball(mcReference, ball_mc, 100, 160, 240,
mcPaddle);

I would make the ball responsible for checking if it collides with
the
paddle because the ball's behavior/state will change - not the
paddle's,
nor
does the state of the 'game' really change.
An alternative would be to create a CollissionControler.as that does
all
your hit testing for you. This may become useful when you add the
bricks
or
other objects that need to check for collisions.

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS2 OOP Class Structure for simple pong type

I am creating a simple pong / breakout / arkanoid game in AS2 and not
sure
how best to deal with the classes.
So far I have a Game.as class, a Paddle.as class and a Ball.as class.
I need to detect when the ball (or balls) collide with the Paddle.
My question is, which class should check for this collision?
Should the Game class do this or should I pass a reference to the
Paddle
into the Ball class so the Ball is able to check this collision
itself?
If it is the Game class, then I guess it is a case of giving both the
Paddle
and Ball classes a method to return their current position and then
letting
the Game class compare these positions to determine if a collision
has
occurred?
If the Ball class needs to have a reference to the Paddle passed to
it, I
am
not sure how this is done. So I would appreciate any advice on this.
I appreciate there are probably a lot of different solutions to this,
but
I
am trying to get off on the right footing with this OOP programming.

Re: [Flashcoders] Running a Timer in more than one instance of the same DisplayObject?

//...
}
//...
protected var _timer:Timer;
I've had some trouble with the former approach. It seems to set all
instances' _timer fields to the same object. The latter approach
ensures that each field is indeed different.

I guess that it is timer related trouble like as if all are using the

[Flashcoders] MXML - Problem embedding FLA symbol
I'm trying to import a swf symbol into Flex 2. However, the following code
works great in AS3 project, but NOT in an MXML project:
[Embed(source=../Art.swf, symbol=car_blue)]
private var CarBlue:Class;
private function init():void
{
var car_blue:Sprite = new CarBlue();
addChild( car_blue );
}
I get the following runtime error:

Re: [SPAM]Re: [Flashcoders] access to drawing API information via ActionScript
You're going to need a fairly complex system to set this up! Even if you could use AS to trace the artwork in the IDE (which I doubt), you'd need a system in place to figure out where you are in the drawing. reversed, speeded up, slowed down, paused, branched etc. Can you imagine how hard it would be to guess where you are in the artwork generation process to emulate these things? Say you have a shape with a bunch of sub-shapes that have sub-shapes that are overlapped by some other stuff. How would you know in when in the code that you need to render each item? Not trying to slam you, but to help you think about this critically. Here's one thing to consider: Have you ever seen this done anywhere else? If so, that would be a good starting point to figure out how it was done. If not, there may be a good reason!

I'm just wondering if there wouldn't be logical constraints, much less technical. exactly! the goal is to build up a complex drawing step by step under the control of ActionScript. So the style can be modified, it can be influenced by the user while its being drawn, the animation can be synchronised with external events, reversed, speeded up, slowed down, paused, branched etc. ActionScript is GREAT for the control. But the IDE is GREAT for all the initial inputting of lines, curves and shapes (with its ability to edit lines, use guide layers, snap to objects, align objects, adjust control points etc). but can ActionScript gain access to this IDE-stored info...??? ___ 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 -- : : ) Scott ___ 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

Classes will not compile if you try to access variables that are not

referring to this because it absolutely must be, thus that particular
use of this is redundant and a remnant of the days of AS1 classes
(prototype) and maintaining scope within them.
That's not to say this doesn't have its place, but since its place is
more refined now, I find it's more important to reserve its use for
those times so it stands out that much more. However, everyone has
their own style and if using this gives you warm fuzzies, then who am
I or anyone to take that away from you? :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Freelancer Class
I don't think it's bad coding. Documentation generated from this
signature might be a bit clearer than documentation generated from a
signature where the argument was, e.g., nameValue, since it would be
more immediately obvious that the argument name corresponds to the
property name. That said, the code itself is clearer the other way.
Six of one and half a dozen of the other. (Programming is so often like
that.)
Pretty much. You either muddy up your code or your docs. This is probably
why this kind of code is prevalent in Java. They've had strong doc tools
nearly from the beginning.

bestXPos = i;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash environment variables?
everyone pointed to the classpath within their own workspaces (absolute path)... for some reason this did not go over well with the team? This may not apply, but what I've done before is have all members on the team use the same directory structure, eg: c:/data/flash/classes Or whatever you want to call it. Then, flash docs shared all point to same location, even though it's on local drive. Combine this with source control and your staff will never look back, once they've made the adjustment!

Force your team to use a relative pathing instead of the variable. Then instead of having your 'classes' or other dependencies that your team relies on a shared drive on the network, use a source control system like Visual SourceSafe or Subversion/TortoiseSVN. It is a time-consuming task to get this setup but I think many here would testify that having a source control software managing shared project resources is an investment that will return many times. ___ 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 -- : : ) Scott ___ 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] Dynamically Distort Text?
Not in (solely) flash, as far as I know or have ever seen.
We created a Java class that takes the parameters (font, text, style) and
performs the distortions on actual letter outlines, using Font objects. This
was set up as a webservice (coldfusion instantiates java object) that
returns coordinates for flash to draw out, at runtime.
Here's a section of that code, to give an idea (sorry, closed-source!):
private java.awt.Shape transform( int layout, String text, String font )
{
j_Font = new java.awt.Font(font, java.awt.Font.PLAIN, FONT_SIZE);
// FontRenderContext needed to create a GlyphVector object
FontRenderContext frc = new FontRenderContext(null,true,true);
// Create a GlyphVector object to get an outline of the text string
GlyphVector gv = j_Font.createGlyphVector(frc, text);
int length = gv.getNumGlyphs(); //Get the number of characters
for(int i = 0; i length; i++) {
java.awt.Shape glyph = gv.getGlyphOutline(i); //Transform
single glyph to Shape
double glyphWidth = glyph.getBounds().getWidth(); //Get
single glyph width prior to rotation
theta = (accGlyphWidth/gvWidth) * totalRotationDistance;
//Set rotation by points
accGlyphWidth = accGlyphWidth + glyphWidth; //Add up
distance traveled thus far
Point2D p = gv.getGlyphPosition(i);
AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
at.translate(-p.getX(), -p.getY());
.
.
.
}
.
.
.
}
As you can see, most of the transformations were accomplised using
AffineTransform to the glyphs stored in 'gv'.
Hope that gives you an idea of how this was done..!

I need to dynamically distort user input text to fill a limited set

shape like the Arc d' Triomphe (flat-topped arch), and the tops of

is more than just putting text on a curve -- it requires actually
distorting the individual letters. Nike has something similar to this
(but not exactly) on their custom uniform builder. See
http://www.niketeam.com/v2/new/Builders/Baseball/check_flash5.asp and
move through the steps until you reach the Select Name Style, after
which you'll see the effect I'm after. Somehow they are able to skew
the letters, though they're not actually distorting any straight
lines into a curve, and all the letters keep the same height.
Anyone know of something like this? Especially Flash 7-compliant?
Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] tieing AS2 classes together, confused on approach
No, each class is in it's own little world. You need to import any class you
want to use into every class you create. What I mean is that each class that
uses Fuse Kit for example would need the import statement:
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;

I used an event model similar to the Java swing event model to control
what happens when files load or buttons are clicked. I don't know if any
of that is useful. You can look at the app here:

Will my Map and Menu classes then have access to the Fuse Kit ?

Would using methods using parseInt to simulate Math.floor() and

[Flashcoders] Flash Projectors - mProjector vs. Zinc
I know from reading this list that Steven is really into mProjector. I'm looking at acquiring a projector builder for Flash in our company. Our current task is to create executable CD apps / presentations, but it would be nice to have a system to create desktop apps (ala SpringBox), as well. How do people think mProjector stacks up against Zinc? Zinc seems to have better support for system windows, while mProjector seems more attuned to custom flash windows. Guess I'd like both, as we have corporate clients who'll want to see regular system windows containing the content. Sorry if this is off topic.

If you want to be able to move something around the screen, you can move it around the screen by setting the window's x and y position. You don't need to make it a full screen application. If you want multiple things to appear in different places anywhere on the screen, you open up new mProjector windows and communicate to those using mProjector's API. It's all supported and well documented. You don't need to make it a full screen application to achieve those things. :) ___ 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 -- : : ) Scott ___ 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
