[Flashcoders] Aspect Oriented Programming
Hi Simon, I'm trying to figure out this part of As2lib. It looks great, but I don't have the time to look how it exactly works. This is what I have so far : private static function initLogMethodExecutionsAspect(weaver:SimpleWeaver):Void { var logMethodExecutionsAspect:LogMethodExecutionsAspect = new LogMethodExecutionsAspect(); //weaver.addAspect(logMethodExecutionsAspect, _global.be.idiomatic.framework.content); weaver.addAspect(logMethodExecutionsAspect, _global.be.idiomatic.module); weaver.addAspect(logMethodExecutionsAspect, _global.org.as2lib.env.log); } //== // PUBLIC METHODS //== public static function init(target:MovieClip):Void{ // use two separated try-catch blocks because the application may run even if the weaving process failed try { var weaver:SimpleWeaver = new SimpleWeaver(); initLogMethodExecutionsAspect(weaver); weaver.weave(); } catch (exception:org.as2lib.env.except.Throwable) { // send email to application programmer if (logger.isErrorEnabled()) { logger.error(Weaving failed with exception:\n + StringUtil.addSpaceIndent(exception.toString(), 2)); } } target.attachMovie(Application, application, 1); } My question is how does the LogMethodExecutionsAspect class look like. I haven't begun programming this class. All it should do is send a message at the beginning of a method and at the end saying which class and method the program is in. Do you have an example of such an Aspect?

[Flashcoders] SOAP HTTP 500 header
Hi all, Having a bit of a problem using SOAP and Flash - The SOAP 1.1 specifications say the SOAP HTTP server MUST issue an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error response in case of a SOAP error, but Flash´s XML (and loadVars) Objects won't parse the data when a 500 header is returned. This way there is no way I can access the error data on the client, which happens to be exacly what I need to do... Did anyone here run into this issue? Is there a way to force the player to read the data, regardless of header?

[Flashcoders] Compiler bug when extending MovieClip and calling super-function in subclass constructor
Hi, I believe, that I've found a bug in the Flash 8 compiler. Just for the facts: I have Flash 8 Professional (English edition) for Windows XP - no other version number, as far as I can see. The bug is, that the compiler will result in a missing pop-operation thus leaving an extra item on the stack when extending movieclip and in the constructor of the subclass calling a function of the movieclip class. The special extension-function will have a missing pop-operation when the super-function is called without adding this. or super. to the function call. The simplest case is a FLA file only containing: var sc:SubClass = new SubClass(); trace(sc instanceof SubClass); And SubClass only containing: class SubClass extends MovieClip { public function SubClass() { play(); } } The trace will be false in the above, but when adding this. or super. to the play-invocation, the trace will be true. When decompiled with Flasm 1.6 the only difference between a SWF with this. and without is, that with this. an extra pop()-operation is added. And this pop-operation should be there, as it will properly remove the something from the stack. (both FLM-files added for reference in below-mentioned ZIP) The above is just a simple example, it is not actually occuring as we all know, that you cannot instantiate movieclips through the constructor. But you can instantiate movieclips by adding them to a movieclip in the library and attach this movieclip. Thus we can add an extra class Attacher: class Attacher { public function Attacher() { _root.attachMovie(SubClass, sub, 1); } } And in the FLA file we create a movieclip in the library with the AS2 class and identifier SubClass. We change the frame actionscript to: var attacher:Attacher = new Attacher(); trace(attacher instanceof Attacher); Now, attacher is _not_ an instance of class Attacher. It is actually undefined. And _that_ is a bug! It only occurs when extending movieclip (or maybe also Button or TextField, haven't tried those), and only when the reference to the super-function is in the constructor of the subclass. Haven't tried Flash 7. I've added all the files needed to reproduce (and I've reproduced at other computers with Flash 8) to a zip, and it can be downloaded at: http://actionscript.dk/downloads/bughunt.zip Feel free to comment.

Re: [Flashcoders] how to stop mouse clicks leaking through the gaps in textFields?
If the text is on a solid color background, try using that color background for the text field too. This might be the simplest fix. Otherwise you'll want to create a symbol with a rectangle you can use as a hit area (and make invisible). You can create your text field in the symbol dynamically if you want to, or just include it in the symbol at authoring time and apply properties with ActionScript at runtime. Or you can dynamically draw a rectangle for the hit area. I use option #2 all the time and it is simple and effective.

Re: [Flashcoders] Martian Dataprovider confusion
Hi, i guess that the idea behind it was that: - lots of people know about array's - implementing a dataprovider interface might be too much for some, if you just want to put a few names in a listbox - macromedia wrote some complex dataproviders for example to provide data from a webservice to a component - good oo principles dictate the use of an abstract feature such as a dataprovider to provide data to a consumer - the only logical thing since Array did not natively implement this dataprovider api is to do the mixin thing. Im not really sure if the Initialize call is needed though, did you try it without? It might be that if you try it on an empty stage, you need to call Initialize, but if you put a datagrid or something you don't need to, because it already takes care of the dirty details.

[Flashcoders] Dynamic runtime class', another example.
I've just done some experimenting with dynamic runtime class'. I think what i've come up with might be interesting to others who are experimenting in this area. One thing that i think is different from other methods that i've seen, is the use of Deferreds [1][2], allowing for asynchronous calls to class' that are not yet loaded, but from which you want to get back the results of your call. Also the ability to set wether you want a method to be asynchronous or not (via naming magic - ie. add '_deferred' to any method call (mymethod_deferred), and you make that method asynchronous). The code is not 100% stable good to go into the enterprise or anything, but i hope that it is an example of (yet another) way to handle runtime dynamic class'.

Hi, first off: cool ;). Question though, since flash idea of multithreading is that there are no real threads for us to create and each method runs synchronized (as in public synchronized as in java), what would be a case where i would wanna use asynchronous callbacks? They are used here to support the following case: You wrap a dynamic class. It takes time for that class to load, but you want to call some methods on that class right away, before its loaded. By registering callbacks, you can call a method on the class, and be calledback when the data is ready. So, in this way, you don't have to worry about waiting for the class to load, you just tell it to do something, and it will tell you when it is done. In the example code that i include in the post, you can see that i've called the 'output' method of the wrapper instance, and its running it before the class is loaded. Via callbacks, once the class is loaded, i get the results of calling those methods. I know that the XML object does this, but i think this object since its natively implemented and stuff really does run in a separate thread. Please note that i'm not talking about threads. Perhaps i should have described it as 'queuing' your function calls.

I understand the mechanics of mixins, but it still makes no sense to me as to why something would want to be like this. I guess the good news is that I still have lots to learn. Initialize isn't listed in the documentation, I'll do some searching and find out if I can learn anything more about that. I think I need to forget that as1 ever existed if I'm ever going to enjoy as2 in time to forget it ever existed and enjoy as3.

Re: [Flashcoders] Embedded Flash Communicating with PowerPoint

[Flashcoders] Flash Remoting with ASP.NET
I had a project setup running Flash Remoting with ASP.NET. We are working with another company and they backed up and cleaned the root directory of the site. I went into the backup and restored my files and now I no longer receive any sort of feedback from Flash Remoting calls. Not a onResult or an onFault event are triggered. My aspx pages work fine. Is there anyway to test Flash Remoting is working? Or does this sound familiar to anyone?

[Flashcoders] swf crashing inside Director MX 2004
Hello list, I have an MX 2004 swf running inside of Director MX 2004, and it is crashing in an odd way. After it plays a set of mp3's in sequence, playback in the current slide of the swf stops (Director does not crash). The odd thing is, it can play certain sequences and everything is fine. It can even play the problem sequences, if they are placed at the head of the playlist. Originally, I attached the sounds. Then I tried preloading them, using a separate Sound object for each. Now I am alternating between two Sound objects, one loading while the other plays. The problem remains in each case. It doesn't have anything to do with anything else I'm doing in between sounds (I've swapped the actions around, and it doesn't impact the problem). It also doesn't seem to be related to any specific sound file, or the number of sound files in the sequence, or the number of unique sounds that have been loaded (I've also swapped the sounds around, and that doesn't impact it, either). I've rebuilt the Director movie in case there was some file corruption, but no change. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[Flashcoders] Re: external flv stuttering even though completely loaded.
UPDATE: i've been tracing out the bytesLoaded, bytesTotal, and playheadTime for my media display components so i can see what is going on. my scenario is that i have 2 media display components and as 1 plays, the other one loads in an flv behind the scenes. whenever an flv gets loaded behind the scenes, i can see the bytes being loaded and when it's fully loaded, playheadTime=0. but when i load my first flv, the first time, into my 2nd media display, i see the bytes loaded but the playhead time is empty...even when it's fully loaded. the other flvs don't behave like this. could that be my problem? and why might that happen with my very first flv? thanks. -- matt.

The swf is 1) too small for the page at some screen resolutions...the embedded swf's size is not adjustable (hence poorly viewable at high screen resolutions) and 2) the content is out of date and needs updating. The original .fla file is lost, so I would like to take the current swf and disassemble it then recreate (and modify) the resulting .fla and the swf content it creates. Is there software out there that would facilitate this? The swf contains, apparently, numberous bitmap images, movie clips, and some neat coding for printing a map on the page and for sending email.
