[Flashcoders] Re: How to set fontSize of TextInput/Label ?

2006-06-09 Thread Stefan Thurnherr

solved.

But I can't tell you why, it just works now. Seems that sleeping made
the AS compiler reconsider my instructions ;-)

Hi all,

For an application that I am developing I have subclassed those UI
components that I'll most commonly use (Label, Button, TextInput,
CheckBox, RadioButton). Among other things I'd like to be able to set
the fontSize/fontFamily/fontWeight in a single place, and I chose for
this the init() method of the component subclasses (LernLabel,
LernButton, LernTextInput, LernCheckBox, LernRadioButton) [1].

While I have no problem setting the fontFamily and fontWeight
properties for all my subclassed components, I experience some
difficulties with the fontSize property: I could set the fontSize for
LernButton, LernRadioButton and LernCheckBox, but I had no success in
doing the same for LernLabel and LernTextInput. I tried both
this.setStyle(fontSize, 18) and this.fontSize = 18 (both of them in
the subclasses init() method and also in the onLoad() method), none of
them succeeded.

The only lead that I have is that I found out that when resizing a
TextInput/Label, the font gets adjusted automatically. Does that mean
that one cannot set the fontSize explicitely for TextInput and Label
components (or their subclasses)?

I couldn't find anything helpful on google, so I am posting on this
mailing list. Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
 stefan.

[1]: Is that the right place to do the styling of my component
subclasses? Or should it be done in the createChildren() or onLoad()
method ?

hello :)

In AS1 or AS2 ... with flash 8 or  ... you can't use directly Base64
picture :)

Only with AS3 you can with Binary objects !

If you want transform base64 data ... you must use PHP or other and after
load picture with MovieClipLoader.loadClip or MovieClip.loadMovie methods.

Re: [Flashcoders] Regarding ascb Proxy

2006-06-09 Thread mike cann

Okay, i havent ever looked at the proxy class but i think i can take a stab
at answering some of your questions, others can probably back me up /
correct me on any errors.

1. Yes it appears he could have used slice, perhaps using the for loop is
quicker?

2. There are occasions when you want to pass the returning functions extra
parameters. When using the Macromedia Delegate class i came accross times
when it would have been neater to supply additional paramters, but it wasnt
essential. Im sure somone else can give you a specific example of when its
needed.

Mike

On 09/06/06, js [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


I was taking a look recently at the Proxy class created by Joey Lott of
Person13 for educational purposes, as I have just started learning OOP,
and a couple questions popped into my mind.

Here is the full class:

class ascb.util.Proxy {

  public static function create(oTarget:Object,
fFunction:Function):Function {

var aParameters:Array = new Array();

for(var i:Number = 2; i  arguments.length; i++) {
  aParameters[i - 2] = arguments[i];
}

var fProxy:Function = function():Void {

  var aActualParameters:Array = arguments.concat(aParameters);
  fFunction.apply(oTarget, aActualParameters);

};

return fProxy;

  }

}

First of all, when populating aParameters, why couldn't you just do:

aParameters = arguments.slice(2);

That seems a lot more clean and improves readability a bit, no?

Second, why exactly do you need to concat the arguments of fProxy and
aParameters? I can see what it's doing; it's tacking on the additional
arguments supplied to Proxy.create onto the arguments of the fProxy
function (which is then returned) -- but I can't really envision a
situation where that would be needed? For instance:

class someClass {

private var _someMc:MovieClip;

function someClass(mc:MovieClip){

_someMc = mc;

_someMc.onRelease = Proxy.create(this,someMethod,1,2,3);

}

private function someMethod(a,b,c){

   trace(a+ +b+ +c);

}

}

In what case would I be calling someMethod() via Proxy and supplying a
set of arguments that do not match the syntax of someMethod()? It seems
to me that you could just replace the following:

var aActualParameters:Array = arguments.concat(aParameters);
fFunction.apply(oTarget, aActualParameters);

with:

fFunction.apply(oTarget, aParameters);

Any clarification or insight is greatly appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: protecting maps in Flash

I've done something like this in the past:

			if(_root._url.indexOf('file://') != -1 || _root._url.indexOf 
('yourdomain.com') == -1) {

_visible = false;
}

Sure you can still decompile it, but depending on what's in the SWF,  
that's probably beyond the expertise or level of patience of most  
people.

[Flashcoders] titled border around radio buttons?

2006-06-09 Thread Stefan Thurnherr

I'd like to create a titled border around a variable number of radio
buttons. My idea is to create a MyTitledBorder extends RectBorder
which exposes methods allowing me to add/iterate over/remove the
RadioButton instances that the MyTitledBorder instance currently
displays. A draw method would then add/remove the radio button
movieclips and adjust the border.

Has anyone on this list done this before? Would that solution go into
the right direction? Any thought sharing is appreciated.

Thanks,
stefan.

You can call another actionscript function from within

true and using asfunction within the anchor tag like
this :

tfMyTextField.html = true;
tfMyTextField.htmlText = a
href=\asfunction:fMyFunction,sMyParameter\/a;

where fMyFunction is the name of the function you want
to call when the user clicks the link and sMyParameter

As Tom
explained, If your app loads external swf's you cannot protect them, you
can only make them a little more difficult to access.


Well, technically, there is a way...

Fragment the assets in such a way that if a decompiler is used, the user 
ends up with unusable map fragments instead of usable chunks of maps...


But yes, remember the limitations of content security with pertaining to flash.

Ultimately, I think it's about implementing a certain level of hassle such 
that the bulk of your target demographic won't even bother trying to steal 
your content vs. actually paying for it.

[Flashcoders] Is Object scope lost when using Delegate?

I have a class which implements a menu. Each menu item is a movieclip
and I add new menu items by calling a function called addChild like
this.

var myMenu: new Menu();
myMenu.addChild( Item1 );
myMenu.addChild( Item2 );

In class Menu, the function addChild does something like this,

funciton addChild( txt:String ):Void
{
  // make new mc, with a text field and set the txt
  myNewMc.onRelease = Delegate( this, onMenuRelease );
{

function onMenuRelease( ):Void
{
  // here I want to access class variable No problem!
  // now I want to change properties of myNewMc! How do I access it?
  // If I have 12 menu items, how can I know which one was triggered
the onRelease!?

}

So, when I get to the onRelease event handler, is there a way to
reference the scope of the MC that the event hander is attached to?
Or, because I used Delegate has the mc scope been lost and I need to
somehow keep track of that by, perhaps setting a focus variable or
something...

Makes sense?

Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Regarding ascb Proxy

2006-06-09 Thread erixtekila

Hi,



I have slightly modify the Joey's version.
I use also the Array.slice which is faster than the loop.

For the last arguments, it's a mean to get a reference added as a end 
param to the callback handler.

Easier to dereference after.

Note the return at the end of the functions.
French comments for inside for more insights.

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: protecting SWFs

2006-06-09 Thread Mike Mountain
How much control over the map end do you have? 

Are they vector or raster?

Are you using Flash 8?

2 Scenarios for you if you have control of the map content:

Vector maps: Produce in SVG then use an SVG to Flash drawing API routine
to draw the maps in from loaded XML files.

Raster maps with Flash 8: Scramble your image with a tile based
algorythm, then use bitmap data to unscramble when the image is loaded
into flash.

These techniques in combination with others discussed here should make
it not worth the effort to try and get to the content.

Food for thought?

 As Tom
 explained, If your app loads external swf's you cannot protect them, 
 you can only make them a little more difficult to access.
 
 Well, technically, there is a way...
 
 Fragment the assets in such a way that if a decompiler is 
 used, the user ends up with unusable map fragments instead of 
 usable chunks of maps...
 
 But yes, remember the limitations of content security with 
 pertaining to flash.
 
 Ultimately, I think it's about implementing a certain level 
 of hassle such that the bulk of your target demographic won't 
 even bother trying to steal your content vs. actually paying for it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Is Object scope lost when using Delegate?

2006-06-09 Thread John Mark Hawley
You can use com.dynamicflash.utils.Delegate instead of mx.utils.Delegate 
and pass the myNewMc clip as an argument to onMenuRelease. person13's 
Proxy class can also be used similarly.

I'm wondering if, when I use the Delegate class to set the scope of an

I have a class which implements a menu. Each menu item is a movieclip

this.

var myMenu: new Menu();
myMenu.addChild( Item1 );
myMenu.addChild( Item2 );

  // now I want to change properties of myNewMc! How do I access it?
  // If I have 12 menu items, how can I know which one was triggered
the onRelease!?

}

So, when I get to the onRelease event handler, is there a way to
reference the scope of the MC that the event hander is attached to?
Or, because I used Delegate has the mc scope been lost and I need to
somehow keep track of that by, perhaps setting a focus variable or
something...

If you are to use an extended version of the Delegate class (like 
http://dynamicflash.com/2005/02/delegate-class-refined/), then you can 
send the reference to the button-clip as an extra argument:


  myNewMc.onRelease = Delegate( this, onMenuRelease, myNewMc );

And receive it like:

  function onMenuRelease( pressedMc:MovieClip ):Void

That would be a clean solution :)

[Flashcoders] FLVplayback - Please Help

2006-06-09 Thread Lieven Cardoen
I'm having problems with the FLVPlayback. When I give it a url that
doesn't exist, the state changes to CONNECTION_ERROR. But after that I
don't seem to be able to load a new url into the FLVplayback-component.

 

In draw() all components are created, in update, components are updated.

 

private function createVideoComponent():Void{

 
logger.debug(createVideoComponent());

   this._videoPlayer =
FLVPlayback(this.getMovieClip().attachMovie(FLVPlayback,

Previously, I kept a reference to my class in mc variable, which

doing that.

The children or menu items are added and removed dynamically by

Never done it before, but have you considered finding a Web Service

variables?

Here's one I found quickly doing a google search:

By using a web service provider to manage this for you, then you don't
have to worry about tax codes and law changes.  No liability!

[Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...

2006-06-09 Thread Mike Anderson
Hello All,

I have a very intense problem, that must be addressed ASAP - our users
are getting really angry :(

We have a typical AS 2.0 Flash Application to view maps - and we are
using Remoting w/ColdFusion in order to send our data back and forth.

For only like 5% of the users, the application starts and loads
completely with all it's related controls.  BUT when the time comes for
the initial Remoting call to the server (which populates all the
dropdowns, etc.) it just hangs indefinitely - and we just can't figure
out what is going on.

The other 95% of the user base is working perfect!  We have had comments
regarding security settings, etc. so I know some users may have problems
there, and some have Corporate Firewall problems - but that type of
issue has to be addressed with the Admin person.  We are using the
JavaScript document.write method to write out the Flash Object tags -
in order to circumvent the Click to Activate this control problem.

What issues are we not seeing, or taking into consideration, which would
affect this 5% of the user base?

Also, a quick note, we are running ColdFusion on Port 80 - so there are
no other port issues that I am aware of (in case some users were
blocking port 8500).  I was confident that if we ran everything on Port
80, that this app would be friendly to all Firewalls.

Thanks in advance, for any advice you can throw my way.

RE: [Flashcoders] Validating Zip Code for Tax Purposes

2006-06-09 Thread Mike Anderson
And better yet, find 2-3 unique Web Service providers - 

That way, in case one website is down, you can write code that will
retrieve data from the 2nd provider, in case the 1st provider times out.

I like doing things myself too, and having total control over everything
- but in cases like this, it usually is better to let a web service
handle the work.  Just make sure and cover the bases, with multiple web
service providers.

Hope that little tidbit of info helps :)

Mike

Never done it before, but have you considered finding a Web Service
provider that does it for you and all you have to do is pass it the
variables?

Here's one I found quickly doing a google search:

By using a web service provider to manage this for you, then you don't
have to worry about tax codes and law changes.  No liability!

 Hi, everyone
 
 I'm building an ecommerce site and need to calculate state tax for 
 California based upon user input in a zip code field.
 
 Has anyone done this before? Would you possibly have some example code

 or point me in the right direction?
 
 Thanks,

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...

2006-06-09 Thread Robert Chyko
Does ColdFusion have all available patches installed?  There was a bug
with the first Remoting call in CF7 which was fixed by the first
updater.  That is the first thing that comes to mind.

Hello All,

I have a very intense problem, that must be addressed ASAP - our users
are getting really angry :(

We have a typical AS 2.0 Flash Application to view maps - and we are
using Remoting w/ColdFusion in order to send our data back and forth.

For only like 5% of the users, the application starts and loads
completely with all it's related controls.  BUT when the time comes for
the initial Remoting call to the server (which populates all the
dropdowns, etc.) it just hangs indefinitely - and we just can't figure
out what is going on.

The other 95% of the user base is working perfect!  We have had comments
regarding security settings, etc. so I know some users may have problems
there, and some have Corporate Firewall problems - but that type of
issue has to be addressed with the Admin person.  We are using the
JavaScript document.write method to write out the Flash Object tags -
in order to circumvent the Click to Activate this control problem.

What issues are we not seeing, or taking into consideration, which would
affect this 5% of the user base?

Also, a quick note, we are running ColdFusion on Port 80 - so there are
no other port issues that I am aware of (in case some users were
blocking port 8500).  I was confident that if we ran everything on Port
80, that this app would be friendly to all Firewalls.

Thanks in advance, for any advice you can throw my way.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...

2006-06-09 Thread Merrill, Jason
Do the 5% have the same http: browsing capabilities as the 95%?  I had a
similar issue and found out because I was new here, and even though I
could browse to most web sites, unknown to me my http access was
somewhat restricted until I was granted full, regular access.  Are there
any possible http access restrictions on these users for some reason?

JavaScript document.write method to write out the Flash Object tags
-

That shouldn't have anything to do with it since you said the
application starts - so they are past the Javascript at that point.  It
sounds like the Remoting call is failing for those users for some
reason.  

And is it always the same 5% or is it 5% of random users?  If it's
random, I have also had problems with network blips because someone else
was working on an application at the time or whatever.  If it's always
the same 5% then it seems to be due to something specific to their
configuration and not a network blip.

Anyway, things to think about.

[Flashcoders] Flex List?

2006-06-09 Thread Dan Thatcher
I asked the question end of day yesterday about converting javascript (AJAX)
to Flex.  It dawned on me that I should probably really be asking that
question on a Flex Listserve.  Is there one?  Someone mentioned one the
other day, but I can't for the life of me find the message that referenced
it.  I know that figleaf doesn't have a Flex listserve :-(  so what is the
best most active Flex list?

 

TIA,

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...

2006-06-09 Thread Jim Robson
I don't know whether this applies to your situation but...

We had a similar issue that was caused by anomalies in the data (believe it
or not). It was a billing system built in Flash with a ColdFusion middle
tier and a SQL Server backend. When one particular user pulled up certain
accounts, the Flash UI would freeze on her. I know this doesn't make sense,
but we solved it by analyzing the data in the accounts in question and
looking for anomalies. We removed these anomalies, and sure enough the
user's problem disappeared.

We never figured out why these anomalies affected the Flash player, nor did
we figure out why they *didn't* affect anyone else's player except for that
one user. But the same issue arose with several different client accounts
and that same user.

 are getting really angry :(
 
 We have a typical AS 2.0 Flash Application to view maps - and we are
 using Remoting w/ColdFusion in order to send our data back and
forth.
 
 For only like 5% of the users, the application starts and loads
 completely with all it's related controls.  BUT when the time comes
 for
 the initial Remoting call to the server (which populates all the
 dropdowns, etc.) it just hangs indefinitely - and we just can't
figure
 
 out what is going on.
 
 The other 95% of the user base is working perfect!  We have had
 comments
 regarding security settings, etc. so I know some users may have
 problems
 there, and some have Corporate Firewall problems - but that type of
 issue has to be addressed with the Admin person.  We are using the
 JavaScript document.write method to write out the Flash Object
tags
 -
 in order to circumvent the Click to Activate this control problem.
 
 What issues are we not seeing, or taking into consideration, which
 would
 affect this 5% of the user base?
 
 Also, a quick note, we are running ColdFusion on Port 80 - so there
 are
 no other port issues that I am aware of (in case some users were
 blocking port 8500).  I was confident that if we ran everything on
 Port
 80, that this app would be friendly to all Firewalls.
 
 Thanks in advance, for any advice you can throw my way.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...

2006-06-09 Thread Jim Robson
Yes, her system was ostensibly identical to other systems in the same
billing department: same hardware, same OS / version, same browser /
version, same Flash player / version. 

The only other time I remember an incident similar to yours was when we
built an app using the WebServiceConnector component in Flash 7. For a small
% of users the app would load, but it was devoid of data. It turned out to
be a firewall issue. We ended up rebuilding the app using LoadVars objects
(Remoting was not available, as the backend was all Micro$oft products.)

Jim, 

Curious, did the individual that had the problem have the same version
of Flash Player?  I'm sure you checked that out, but that is a curious
problem...

 I don't know whether this applies to your situation but...
 
 We had a similar issue that was caused by anomalies in the data
(believe
 it
 or not). It was a billing system built in Flash with a ColdFusion
middle
 tier and a SQL Server backend. When one particular user pulled up
certain
 accounts, the Flash UI would freeze on her. I know this doesn't make
 sense,
 but we solved it by analyzing the data in the accounts in question and
 looking for anomalies. We removed these anomalies, and sure enough the
 user's problem disappeared.
 
 We never figured out why these anomalies affected the Flash player,
nor
 did
 we figure out why they *didn't* affect anyone else's player except for
 that
 one user. But the same issue arose with several different client
accounts
 and that same user.

 Yes, it's the SAME 5% of the users -
 
 So there must be something in common with all these people.

 Do the 5% have the same http: browsing capabilities as the 95%?  I had
a
 similar issue and found out because I was new here, and even though I
 could browse to most web sites, unknown to me my http access was
 somewhat restricted until I was granted full, regular access.  Are
there
 any possible http access restrictions on these users for some reason?
 
 JavaScript document.write method to write out the Flash Object
tags
 -
 
 That shouldn't have anything to do with it since you said the
 application starts - so they are past the Javascript at that point.
It
 sounds like the Remoting call is failing for those users for some
 reason.
 
 And is it always the same 5% or is it 5% of random users?  If it's
 random, I have also had problems with network blips because someone
else
 was working on an application at the time or whatever.  If it's always
 the same 5% then it seems to be due to something specific to their
 configuration and not a network blip.
 
 Anyway, things to think about.

Re: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component (actionsciptable)

2006-06-09 Thread Bernard Poulin

As an ActionScript programmer, I personally liked this one:
http://www.neo-archaic.net/blog/2006/05/09/tooltip.htmSimple and
effective:  No .mxp, no .fla, no super-complex code to setup, just a single
.as file to drop in.

Additionally, it seems lots of people are building super-fancy tooltips and
somehow simply forgot the basics(!): It must work well and behave as
expected.

Looking at the source, it sounds like it works with or without the mx
components automagically.

Re: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component

Hi Karina,

This has some nice features but some problems viewing the demo. In 
FireFox it doesn't show at all. In I.E. 6 it doesn't show and I get a 
Flash required message. I was able to view it only by looking at 
the source and opening the swf directly.


It would be nice if the tooltip width were dependent on the text 
string. That shouldn't be too hard to add, just draw the background 
after establishing the textfield.text.width.

[Flashcoders] Duplicate linkage id weirdness

2006-06-09 Thread ben farrell
So I had some weirdness publishing a file that I just got back from a 
client who had someone swap an entire new graphic interface, but left my 
code intact.  I had some movieclips with some linkage ID, and they had a 
class associated with them that I wrote to make them act like buttons.  
Also, I had some components like the drop down menu component, and others.


Anyway I was publishingsome of my stuff didn't work anymore.  I 
thought this was the client breaking things.  I decided to publish to 
flash 8 (I was publishing to flash 6), to see if I got different 
results.  Well it worked.  Then I published to 6 again.  It worked 
again!  So now I can publish to 6 no problem for some reason.  But, when 
I publish to 8, I get a weird error message:


**Warning** The linkage identifier 'standardsBtn' was already assigned 
to the symbol 'btns/standardsBtn', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 
'btns/standardsBtn', since linkage identifiers must be unique.


Can anyone explain?  If I had duplicate symbols, I can very much see why 
the things that didn't work weren't working before.  But it seems to be 
saying that my duplicates are the originals themselves!!  My explanation 
is that my library is screwy.  But i'd appreciate a more technical 
explanation!

Thanks very much!

Re: [Flashcoders] Text link on hover

2006-06-09 Thread elibol

Hi Greg,

Yea, really is funny... Were your textfields multiline?

I've tried the img tag solution, the problem is that it does not snuggle
between text, the tag must be either left or right justified so it's never
where it should be.

So far I've built a function that gets the x/y ( relative to textfield ) and
w/h of a string from a textfield.

getWordRect(textField, searchString)

This returns a rectangle object that describes the word rectangle. I am
planning to use this with a mouse hotspot class I've written a while ago.
This will allow me to pass the rectangle objects and create a hover entity
that will broadcast the entity {id,x,y,w,h} to the hover event handler.

It's pretty fricken elaborate. I think this functionality will be useful as
Flex does not even support these kinds of functions so I will post this
stuff on my site soon.

I plan to implement a getLineMetrics style function as the base code that
the getWordRect is driven with will allow me to do this relatively easily.

I plan to build a sub function of getWordRect that will get all word
rectangles of a searchString.

Word to the Adobe developers, I think this is functionality the TextField
class in Flex should implement.

I also think htmlText for TextField Objects should have a realtime DOM.

well,

The only solution I can suggest (and I've used it several times) is to
make each of your links embedded into separate mc.

But I was making just quite short html texts dynamically at runtime.

Depending on situation you may have to embed an SWF within IMG tag and
use some kind of flashvars to set it's behavior .
Funny, isn't it?

[Flashcoders] Flash + XML processing instructions

2006-06-09 Thread Corey Knafelz

I have to use a product called Documentum to publish documents to our
webserver. I'm having an issue with it inserting processing
instructions to my xml document as show below:

pic
image
?dctmEditor
selectedPath=/wcs_images/graphics/adventures/photos/gal_00.jpg
?
?dctmLink
chronic_id=0900029a800c829b object_id=0900029a800c829b edit_widget_type=graphic
?
/graphics/adventures/photos/gal_00.jpg
/image
/pic

This breaks Flash, but works with the original XML file which
indicates image as:

pic
image/graphics/adventures/photos/gal_00.jpg/image
/pic

I'm looking for pointers on how I might strip the xml processing
instructions from the xml with AS, or at least ignore them. Has anyone
run into this before and by chance have a solution?

Thanks,
Corey

Re: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component

2006-06-09 Thread Bernard Poulin

Note: the Firefox issue is a problem in the Demo html page. Not a problem in
the tooltip itself of course.

About the Width:   The width parameter should be named maxwidth.  It
really does take the size of the text in consideration when computing the
width.  It simply max it out to the specified size (without being bigger
than the whole Stage width).

Hi Mark,

Thanks for letting me know about the Firefox bug, it seems I've overcooked
my Satay, and forgot to check it...  Don't know why it doesn't show in IE 6,
I'm using the ie 7 beta at the moment.

It should be fixed now for Firefox. I just had someone with ie6 take a look,
and she had no problem seeing the demo, so maybe that's fixed. But I'm using
version check (with ObjectSwap) and it's Flash7. Are you sure your IE is
updated for Flash?

Re: [Flashcoders] Is Object scope lost when using Delegate?

2006-06-09 Thread mike cann

ummm correct me if im wrong but onRelease you are passed an event object
that contains the target of the event?

so:

funciton addChild( txt:String ):Void
{
 // make new mc, with a text field and set the txt
 myNewMc.onRelease = Delegate( this, onMenuRelease );
{

function onMenuRelease( event:Object):Void
{
   event.target.myPropertyOfmyNewMc = somevalue;
}

I could be wrong however...

doing that.

Re: Matt
 can you not add your children in a loop?

The children or menu items are added and removed dynamically by
calling add/remove child ( and then I animate them on and off) from
some other class that wants to use the menu

RE: [Flashcoders] Whats the best tooltip component

2006-06-09 Thread Karina Steffens
Thanks Bernard, I was just about to reply to that. You're right about the
parameter naming, but I think it might be too late to do that without
breaking backwards compatibility with scripts that already use that. Unless
I keep both?

 Note: the Firefox issue is a problem in the Demo html page. 
 Not a problem in the tooltip itself of course.
 
 About the Width:   The width parameter should be named maxwidth.  It
 really does take the size of the text in consideration when 
 computing the width.  It simply max it out to the specified 
 size (without being bigger than the whole Stage width).

  Hi Karina,
 
  This has some nice features but some problems viewing the demo. In 
  FireFox it doesn't show at all. In I.E. 6 it doesn't show 
 and I get a 
  Flash required message. I was able to view it only by 
 looking at the 
  source and opening the swf directly.
 
  It would be nice if the tooltip width were dependent on the text 
  string. That shouldn't be too hard to add, just draw the background 
  after establishing the textfield.text.width.

 scripts that already use that. Unless I keep both?

... Or maybe I should increase the default width? It's currently 200, but
maybe 300 would be better? It can always be changed programmatically...

Re: [Flashcoders] Is Object scope lost when using Delegate?

2006-06-09 Thread Julien Vignali

I'm afraid mike but you're wrong.
The MovieClip.onRelease handler doesn't pass any parameter...
From the help files : MovieClip.onRelease = function() {}
What Jeff could do is using a Delegate alternative class that allows him 
to pass parameters to the handler, but he can also link his button 
movieclips to a class that would dispatch events:



class MenuButton extends MovieClip {

  // EventDispatcher mix-in functions here

  public function MenuButton(){
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
  }

  public function onRelease():Void {
dispatchEvent({type:click, target:this});
  }

}


class Menu extends MovieClip {

  private var btn1:MenuButton
  private var btn2:MenuButton

  public function Menu(){
btn1.addEventListener(click, Delegate.create(this, onMenuRelease);
btn2.addEventListener(click, Delegate.create(this, onMenuRelease);
  }

  private function handleEvent(event:Object):Void {
if (event.target == btn1) {
  // do some stuff...
  btn1.enabled = false;
  btn2.enabled = true;
}

if (event.target == btn2) {
  // do some stuff...
  btn2.enabled = false;
  btn1.enabled = true;
}
  }
}

We about to start the production of a MMOG using flash. I'd like to know
what type of server you would be using. So far we've been using flashcomm
for multi user game but Smartfox seems to be another solution too.

 

I'd like to have your input on this.

Re: [Flashcoders] Littleloud: Flash Developer Position

2006-06-09 Thread John Grden

lol tone, yes - it was rude.

But that's not the first thing that hit my mind.  The first thing that hit
my mind was:

hrrmm, flash designer/developer/css/dhtml specialist with network admin
background with knowledge of Windows Server, LAN, DNS, IIS + FTP Admin

sooo, you wanna get someone to do alot of stuff, because your budget's small
and you'd be happy to find a sucker with just enough ego to outweigh his
actual experience/knowledge level.  That way, you can entice them with a
title and opportunity, and pay them less.  Am I close?

I wrote some company one time who advertised something similar that was
based in Irvine california and told them what punks I thought they were.  I
actually had the abilities but it was clear they just wanted a sucker with
marginal talent.

Pay was around $40k. You can't live in the trash can behind Ralph's for that
in Irvine.

Sorry, if you hadn't been rude in your reply, I'd have let it go.

[Flashcoders] about the MovieClipLoader class

2006-06-09 Thread Geoffrey Holland
Hello,

 

Can someone please explain what I seem to be quirky behavior of the MCL
class which has prevented me from using it until I read about it on another
post:

 

When loading an image or swf into a mc, using the MCL class,

 

Why does this fail (not only fail, but renders the mc unseeable):

 

loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(tmc:MovieClip):Void {

tmc._width = 100;

tmc._height = 100;

}

 

But this works:



loadListener.onLoadInit = function(tmc:MovieClip):Void { 

tmc._width = 100;

tmc._height = 100;

 

}

 

Intuitively, it seems like it would be the opposite.

Re: [Flashcoders] about the MovieClipLoader class

2006-06-09 Thread elibol

onLoadComplete is called when the loading process is complete. onLoadInit is
called when whatever has loaded is initialized and ready to use.

The thing is that when a swf is finished loading, it takes one more frame to
initialize. The main point is that until it initializes, the swf is not
rendered and has no API.

It's about the same case with images, except when the image is done loading
it will not be rendered until it is initialized/read; this happens one frame
after the frame it was finished loading on.

The reason? Theoretically (please take note, I am making no claim) it makes
sense when you think about how the player runs code in frames. If the
current frame has a chunk of code that includes code that tests for loading
completion, then it will prepare the initialization code to execute on the
next frame.

For this to be true, it must be true that once code for the next frame is
prepared, it cannot be changed.

current frame has a chunk of code that includes code that tests for loading
completion, then it will prepare the initialization code to execute on the
next frame.

For this to be true, it must be true that once code for the next frame is
prepared, it cannot be changed.

 Hello,



 Can someone please explain what I seem to be quirky behavior of the MCL
 class which has prevented me from using it until I read about it on
 another
 post:



 When loading an image or swf into a mc, using the MCL class,



 Why does this fail (not only fail, but renders the mc unseeable):



 loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(tmc:MovieClip):Void {

 tmc._width = 100;

 tmc._height = 100;

 }



 But this works:



 loadListener.onLoadInit = function(tmc:MovieClip):Void {

 tmc._width = 100;

 tmc._height = 100;



 }



 Intuitively, it seems like it would be the opposite.

Hi all-

I'm doing a user-upload based section of a site where the video they
upload gets converted to a swf for approval on a backend.  Can anyone
point me toward a module or application that can do this?  It's a
linux server.  Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Regarding ascb Proxy

2006-06-09 Thread js
Thank you for this excellent enhanced version erixtekila. Just read 
through the blog post on http://dynamicflash.com/ and it was also a 
good read. He actually updated the class if you didn't notice--you can 
find it here: http://dynamicflash.com/classes/Delegate.as

Hi,



I have slightly modify the Joey's version.
I use also the Array.slice which is faster than the loop.

For the last arguments, it's a mean to get a reference added as a end 
param to the callback handler.

Easier to dereference after.

Note the return at the end of the functions.

[Flashcoders] Flash and Javascript Interaction

2006-06-09 Thread Rick Root
I posted this to cf-talk but decided this was probably a better place to 
post it...


I'm trying to play a flash movie with javascript.  This *SHOULD* work 
but it does not.  Can anyone tell me why?


http://www.opensourcecf.com/cfopenchat/demo/door.html

When you go there you'll hear the sound of a door opening (if you have 
flash and sound enabled).


When you click Play Door Sound the javascript should replay the flash 
movie, but it doesn't and I can't figure out why.

[Flashcoders] Slowing down the action (problem with a pause)

2006-06-09 Thread Ville Walveranta

I have a piece of code (this is not in a movie but in a class file) that
works fine:

--
for (var idx = 0; idx  graph_coordinates.length; idx++) {
if (current_position  graph_coordinates[idx][0] 
graph_coordinates[idx][0]  end_point) {
event_graph.lineTo(graph_coordinates[idx][0],
graph_coordinates[idx][1]);
}
};
--

However, I would like to slow down the drawing by doing something like this:

--
var delay:Number = new Number(500);

for (var idx = 0; idx  graph_coordinates.length; idx++) {
var now:Number = getTimer();
if (current_position  graph_coordinates[idx][0]  
graph_coordinates[idx][0]  end_point) {
while (now + delay  getTimer()) { };
event_graph.lineTo(graph_coordinates[idx][0], 
 graph_coordinates[idx][1]);
}
};
--

But this does not work. In fact, it crashes Flash 8 when I try to run the
code! setInterval might work better, but in case of this loop it would be
difficult to use since the lineTo is executed conditionally within a for
loop and an if statement. If I put the entire thing within a setInterval
function the segments of data that are are not acted upon would still cause
a delay and it would seem as if the app was just sitting there, doing
nothing. Yet if I initialize the interval from within the for and if
statements, the interval will run independently from the loop and thus will
not achieve the effect I'm after.

Any thoughts, anyone? Thanks for any ideas!! :-)

Ville
