Re: [Flashcoders] Downloading a .swc library

Hi. I would think about using the [Embed] directive in pure AS3 code to create font swf files. You can have one or more fonts in a swf which does not matter and you can load them in a runtime dynamically. Here is an example of a Font file - you can setup a project in FlashDevelop that will

Re: [Flashcoders] Inheritance and abstract classes

Glen Pike skriver: "has a" (interfaces) than "is a" (subclass), That's wrong. HAS-A is not used for interfaces, it is used for reference properties and other forms of containment. Both interfaces and classes use the IS-A relation. You don't say Picture HAS-A IDrawable, you say Picture IS-A

Re: [Flashcoders] Inheritance and abstract classes

Hi, If you "type" as a superclass you are generally programming to an interface, so you can just as easily type to an interface. Using interfaces is generally more flexible - it's easier to work with "has a" (interfaces) than "is a" (subclass), but sometimes you need a default imple

Re: [Flashcoders] Downloading a .swc library

SWC files are zip files with swf files inside them (and some other misc stuff). The flash player does not know how to deal with them. You would have to unpack the zip, read the metadata and feed the stored swf to Loader.loadBytes. Or you could just load a swf like everyone else... __

Re: [Flashcoders] Apple changes their guidelines

I'm not quite sure what the best way to send the app around is. Also the app performs significantly better on iPhone than the swf does on Android (the swf even performs better on iPhone with Frash) so looking at the swf in the browser will not get you 60FPS. Here it is though: http://www.unfo

[Flashcoders] Downloading a .swc library

I posted this to another list a couple hours ago, and didn't get any takers, so I'll try here. My client wants something a little different. His specs call for a Flex program that, in code, embeds fonts from an external folder. He then wants to download that and use the fonts in another .swf. I'm

[Flashcoders] Inheritance and abstract classes

Inheritance and abstract classes The examples I've seen are set up this way: Super class (abstract class) contains all methods Subclass overrides methods in super class Class instances are typed as super class and instantiated as subclass. I'm wondering why the examples show instances typed as a

[Flashcoders] AS3 to Java

Anyone know of any tools to convert AS3 code into Java? There seems to be several stabs at the other way around (j2as3 for example). Cheers Tom ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinf
