[Flashcoders] FMS2 Installation Failure
Hello to everyone I have installed FMS2, Flash 8; Flash Player and plug in as said as installation guide. After installation, I ran an example showns in Examples found in Adobe, posted to practice for developers. I cant run the examples, and shows an error NetConnection.connect.failure. I believe that I installed in the correct way the FMS2 software, and I cant find why is that error. PD: I have been installed the software FMS2 in other PC and ran perfectly, but in my personal PC shows the failure. Another thing in that I desactivate the windows firewall. Could anyone help me in this matter? I want to try this software but I cant run properly!! Thanks for your time Daniel C. _ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.

[Flashcoders] AS3: dynamically accessing parts of XML
Hi list,
I have an XML object (listed below)
I can access a node like, for instance:
trace(myXml.MAMMAL.*) //traces: humancowdog
Now I want to access nodes dynamically through a function like:
function traceNode (thisNode:String):void {
trace(myXml[thisNode].*;
}
traceNode(MAMMALS) works fine because it's a first generation child
of myXml
but traceNode(MAMMAL) returns empty (because MAMMAL is of a younger
generation?)
Eventually I want to be able to access even the whale dynamically by
passing it's 'path' through an argument of my function.
How would I do that?
Thanks,
Willem van den Goorbergh
xml follows:
var myXml:XML =
ANIMALS
MAMMALS
MAMMALhuman/MAMMAL
MAMMALcow/MAMMAL
MAMMALdog/MAMMAL
/MAMMALS
BIRDS
BIRDblackbird/BIRD
BIRDdove/BIRD
/BIRDS

Re: [Flashcoders] Text Editor Undo/Redo Stack
Hello, This is what I was thinking - I find it hard to conceptualise the time aspect of undoing and redoing actions, and how to capture events such as cut and paste... I guess cutting you just read the selected text at the point a Keyboard event for X gets fired at the same time as CTRL is held down? Is it that straightforward?

[Flashcoders] Uploading different types files to a PHP script
Hi, sorry if this is a PHP questionI'm trying to work with this more on the Flash side, so I hope its a Flash question. I have a PHP script online that serves to write binary image data from my Flex/AIR app: $f = fopen($path,w); fwrite($f, $GLOBALS[ 'HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA' ] ); fclose($f); On the Flash side: var jpgtosave:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(); var rawdata:ByteArray = jpgtosave.encode(bitmap); var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader (Content-type, application/octet-stream); var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest (path); myRequest.requestHeaders.push (header); myRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; myRequest.data = rawdata; var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY; loader.load(myRequest); This works great, but now I want to use that same PHP script to upload a text file. The reason I want to keep the PHP script the same is because the end user actually sets the upload location, and I think it would be overly complicated to have them choose two different upload script locations. Anyway, no matter what I try, the text file that's written to the server is done correctly, except the contents of it are always the file's URL instead of the text that I wanted. I realize there are better ways to upload text through PHP, but as I said, I'd like to use the same script as my JPG uploads. Here's some things I tried: 1. Changing the request header to Content-type, text/plain 2. Changing the URLLoaderDataFormat to TEXT 3. Writing out my text's string to binary through ByteArray.writeObj 4. Taking my binary data directly from a FileStream So, as you guys can see I'm stabbing in the dark! I assume that I'm somehow encoding the data wrong to get to the server. Maybe I need a file header as the com.adobe JPGEncoder gives the JPG a header, likewise I should give my text file a header. Does it have to be binary data to use with my PHP script?

Re: [Flashcoders] Text Editor Undo/Redo Stack
Yes, command based. If you were to follow Omar's version you could end up with a memory hog. Imagine a 4000 character text field/document. Storing a snap shot if that x20 is overkill in a bad way. Copy/Paste/Delete are all fairly simple. You might want to enhance your undo feature when you type. If a capture is made for every key stroke then you would quickly spend all your undos on a sentence. You should consider bundling like commands (such as typing) into a single command. Look at typing like adding characters to a paste command. For example, if you were to type a whole sentence and then UNDO, the whole sentence would be removed. But if you type most of the sentence and then paste text and then finish typing the sentence, you would end up with 3 commands (latter part of the sentence, paste, first part of sentence). You might also consider having the backspace count as a different command than typing alphanumeric characters. You could also look at the Enter command as a different command than alphanumeric as well. Both of these make natural breaks in command groups. Charles P.

James Marsden schrieb: Hello all, I'm looking at building a very simple text editor application in Flash, which needs an undo/redo stack of around 20. My question is related to capturing the events in the stack; whether the done thing is to capture the state of the text field contents at every step, or just to record commands that are operated on the text field. For example, when cutting a piece of text, does the system record the state of the textfield when the cut is made, or does it just record the action and values related to it, ie. cut /piece of text/ from string position 344. Any advice from bods with experience in this area much appreciated!

Hi guys! First of all, sorry for just so blatantly posting our own site!

We think its rather cool, but I would be really really happy for some feedback from you developers; * What kind of features do you want? * How can we make the site the best developer community out there? * Anything we totally forgot about which is obvious? I hope you will use a few mins to take a look!

[Flashcoders] Q:tag cloud and image analysis
Hi I am trying to create a 'tag cloud' representation of an image. But am wondering if something like this: http://guiborchert.com/work/rga_tags.html is even possible in Flash 8. Is this a project for Flash 9? Can anyone offer suggestions/opinions on the best way to create this effect? I know I need to break down the project to 1) image analysis 2) text size, distribution, brightness/opacity based on #1 3) allow for text items to increase in relative size based on times clicked Thanks for any feedback!

[Flashcoders] Applying easing effect to type effect
Hi,
i got the following code:
effect = function (txt) {
string = txt;
total = string.length;
var ta:Array =[]
for (i=0;itotal;i++) {
ta.push(string.substr(0, i+1))
}
i=0;
onEnterFrame = function () {
if(itotal-1) {
i++
text.text = ta[i] +_;
}else{
text.text = txt;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
};
};
effect(blah blah blah blah);
This writes in a dynamic text field a string with a typewriter effect
I saw, by the way, in some websites, that the typewrite effect is performed
with an easeOut effect and i guess
it can be achieved by using the tweener class by Zeh, but I have no idea
about how to implement in my code.
Any help???
Hasta...
