Re: [Flashcoders] Extending the XML class
Hi,
I ran into the exact same problem about a year ago... The XML class doesn't
really make it easy to extend... The way I solved it is by overriding all
necessary methods of the XML class with methods in my extended version, so
EXML in your case.
E.g.
function someOverridenMethod():EXML {
// do some other stuff
return new EXML( this.cloneNode(true).toString() );
}
That way all instances of XMLNode are converted to EXML before being
returned.
This could of course also be used for newly added methods in your extended
class...
Hope that helps.

Hi!
I'm new to AS2, and I'm trying to convert some old AS1 code to AS2. This
code uses XML.prototype to add functionality to the XML class (which is
based on the XMLNode class, but you knew that already). I'm creating a
new
class like this:
dynamic class core.EXML extends XML {
}
This new XML class has new properties in each of its nodes, so I add:
dynamic class core.EXML extends XML {
public var _MC:MovieClip;
public var _parentMC:MovieClip;
}
But, unfortunately, since the EXML class inherits from the XML class, the
nodes are of XMLNode class, not EXML class, so the nodes do not inherit
the
properties and methods I create in the new EXML class.
So, my question is, how do I create a class that creates instances of
itself, or say, an EXMLNode class that inherits from XMLNode?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Flashcoders] sendAndLoad()ing Content-Encoding: gzip

Re: [Flashcoders] sendAndLoad()ing Content-Encoding: gzip
Hi Alexander, What I always understood about the working of the Flash player is that most requests (i..e not streams) get redirected to the browser to handle the downloading etc. I f this is correct you should be able to use messages compressed with gzip.

a certain number of seconds or a percentage of the total duration.

Re: [Flashcoders] Keypoints in a .mp3
If you want to know the length of the song (because duration only
gives you how much has been downloaded), you can put it into the TLEN
of the ID3 V2 tag. You can use onID3 of the sound object to find out
when the ID3 tags have been downloaded. Please note that if you have
ID3 V2 and ID3 V1, onID3 will be called twice. ID3 V2 is at the start
of the song. So the first onID3 will be ID3 V2. ID3 V1 is at the end
of the song.

[Flashcoders] Flash does not run when wmode is transparent and div is hidden
I have come across some strange behaviour when setting
wmode to transparent and setting the div visibility to
hidden and/or setting the absolute position off of the
visible area of the browser window.
1. If wmode is set to transparent and the flash movie
is wrapped in a div with a visibility set to hidden,
the flash movie will not run. This seems to be true on
both IE FF (windows).
2. If wmode is set to transparent and the flash movie
is wrapped in a div with a visibility set to visible,
the flash movie will run on both browsers, EXCEPT that
if the absolute position has been set off screen
(negative) and NO portion of the flash movie shows,
then FireFox does not run the movie but IE still does.
To test, create the following swf and html files:
1. test.swf (set dimensions to 100x100)
getURL(javascript:alert('this is a test'););
stop();
2. test.html
html
body
div style=position:absolute; visibility:visible;
width:100px; height:100px; left:-100px; top:-100px;
object
classid=clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-44455354
codebase=http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0;
width=100 height=100 id=test align=middle
param name=allowScriptAccess value=sameDomain
/
param name=movie value=test.swf /
param name=quality value=high /
param name=wmode value=transparent /
embed src=test.swf quality=high
wmode=transparent bgcolor=#ff width=100
height=100 name=test align=middle
allowScriptAccess=sameDomain
type=application/x-shockwave-flash
pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer;
/
/object
/div
/body
/html
The above example should work in IE but fail in FF. If
you change the absolute position to (left:-99px;
top:-99px;) so that 1 pixel shows, then FF will work.
From what I have gathered, it appears that the swf
will not even load unless it is visible on the screen
- of course IE and FF seem to interpret that
visibility differently...
I have a flash script that needs to pop out on demand
using wmode=transparent. Currently my only work around
is to show 1px x 1px for firefox but this seems
annoying. I could also do an onload event which hides
the div or moves the div as this would ensure that the
swf has loaded first - but this is even more annoying.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jason

The project specifies that there will be thumbnails inside those squares_mc...I'm using the loader component to do the trick inside of a square_c component (squares_mc are instances of square_c). My problem is that at the end of the tweening, the image loaded disapeares (another instance of the squares_mc because of the end of the tween...). I must not touch the timeline of the menu and the tweening of the squares_mc but how can I do the load image and conserve it? I've tried reloading the image put I have a 1 frame blank... not acceptable!

[Flashcoders] Flash equivalent of a Java class loader
Hello We're new to flash, migrating over from Director. We're trying to implement a Java style class loader in Flash, but we are having some difficulty doing this. This is what we are trying to do: 1. Create an XML document with elements specifying the name of the class, a movieclip instance and and some initialization parameters. for example: object class=com.blackhammer.test.TestClass name=testClassInstance1 clipName=myTestClip param name=param1 value=1 type=int/ /object 2. On startup, the Flash movie parses the XML file, instancing a class corresponding to the string name specifiied in the XML (associating it with the specified MovieClip), and populates the newly created object with the parameter values specified in the XML. When we attempt to do this using RegisterClass, however, it appears as though the class name cannot be passed in as a string. This works: Object.RegisterClass(myClipSymbolName, com.blackhammer.test.TestClass); This doesn't: Object.RegisterClass(myClipSymbolName, com.blackhammer.test.TestClass); Any clues? Perhaps there is a more elegant way of doing this anyway, since RegisterClass seems to associate all instances of myTestClip (the symbol) with the specified class.

Re: [Flashcoders] tweening and loader...
Strange... If I dont use my square_c component and use a simple square_mc... movieclip instead, it works! Why? Is there something I'm missing?

The project specifies that there will be thumbnails inside those squares_mc...I'm using the loader component to do the trick inside of a square_c component (squares_mc are instances of square_c). My problem is that at the end of the tweening, the image loaded disapeares (another instance of the squares_mc because of the end of the tween...). I must not touch the timeline of the menu and the tweening of the squares_mc but how can I do the load image and conserve it?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash equivalent of a Java class loader
Or this:
class ClassFactory {
public static function getClass(name:String, args:Object):Object {
return new Function(eval(name))(args ? args : []);
}
}
/* USAGE
* //can be any referenced class
* var myClass = ClassFactory.getClass(org.flashcodersny.style.GradientFill,
args);
*/
As long as the class you're trying to instantiate exists in the _global
namespace, the above will work. To make sure it exists, just say its name:
class DeclareClassNames {
function DeclareClassNames() {
org.myClass1;
org.myClass2;
//and so on...
}
}
There have been a few threads on this subject recently...

Re: [Flashcoders] Extending the XML class
Jan,
Thanks, but I'm not having any luck. I'm trying to force my EXML class to
create all of it's nodes of class EXMLNode instead of XMLNode. That way, my
custom methods are accessible at any node in the tree. Unfortunately, it
seems that all of the nodes of the tree are type XMLnode, not EXMLNode.
What I can't figure out is what methods are used in the intrinsic XML class
to create nodes in the first place, and how to rewire them to create nodes
of class EXMLNode instead of XMLNode.
Maybe I'm biting off more than I can chew for my first AS2 project... I
don't know.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I ran into the exact same problem about a year ago... The XML class
doesn't
really make it easy to extend... The way I solved it is by overriding all
necessary methods of the XML class with methods in my extended version, so
EXML in your case.
E.g.
function someOverridenMethod():EXML {
// do some other stuff
return new EXML( this.cloneNode(true).toString() );
}
That way all instances of XMLNode are converted to EXML before being
returned.
This could of course also be used for newly added methods in your extended
class...
Hope that helps.

Hi!
I'm new to AS2, and I'm trying to convert some old AS1 code to
AS2. This
code uses XML.prototype to add functionality to the XML class (which is
based on the XMLNode class, but you knew that already). I'm creating a
new
class like this:
dynamic class core.EXML extends XML {
}
This new XML class has new properties in each of its nodes, so I add:
dynamic class core.EXML extends XML {
public var _MC:MovieClip;
public var _parentMC:MovieClip;
}
But, unfortunately, since the EXML class inherits from the XML class,
the
nodes are of XMLNode class, not EXML class, so the nodes do not inherit
the
properties and methods I create in the new EXML class.
So, my question is, how do I create a class that creates instances of
itself, or say, an EXMLNode class that inherits from XMLNode?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
