Re: [FlashCoders] scrollRect
Hello Jester, I apologize for taking S long to reply. Thank you very much for the information you provided! When I was asking you how you handle alpha I meant alpha values. Like when having a few movieclips on top of another, with _alpha = 40 or any value100. Can you do that with BitmapData? (sorry if this is a very basic question, I didn't have the chance to work with bitmaps a lot yet). I think I'll see how performance goes and maybe I'll bother you and the list again if I need to start digging more into your approach. Thanks a lot.

Bitmap is an internal class, and extends DisplayObject. DisplayObjects' have a drawing index, just like MovieClips do. So, instead of swapDepths, you'd use setChildIndex. Now, for individual bitmaps that you are drawing, addToBitmapSprite, they are added to the internal array, and drawn in that order. It would be probably 10 minutes to add that method and call redraw to allow bitmaps to change depth. ...or you could do it; I can give you Suversion access to the source if you wish. Alpha is handled by your bitmap. Bitmaps support alpha channels, so whatever bitmap you added should have the alpha. In my case, the moving sprites example uses a circular PNG, and since PNG's have alpha channels, Flash draws the circle correctly on top of other circles. MovieClip's have gotten more powerful in Flash Player 8.5, yes, mainly because of the DisplayList which seperates a MovieClip from existing from actually being rendered/drawn each frame. It is not, however, re-inventing the wheel. We have not been able to blit in the Flash Player until version 8; instead, we've had to duplicate a tile 100 times vs. drawing onto 1 bitmap. Great example of why blitting is so powerful and scaleable: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2005/08/flash_8_thought.html Significantly less process, less RAM, and scales to infinite bitmaps. I have no benchmarks nor numbers other than creating 100 MovieClips in Flash 8 used 99%CPU, and 60 megs of RAM, and the framerate sucked. Changing those 100 MovieClips to be 1 bitmap, and scrolled via a copyPixels from a double-buffering used 6% CPU and full framerate. That's what made me write Diesel. When you start adding BitmapSprites, you are adding overhead however because they themselves are DisplayObjects, like MovieClips, only they are drawn into 1 bitmap vs. 30 of them drawn in 30 places in the DisplayList. The hybrid approach is to use 1 Bitmap, load all of your tiles and draw to just 1. You're actual monsters and characters that move, make Sprites (or MovieClips), and remove them from the DisplayList if they are not on-screen. Use scrollRect for the area you are scrolling, and use double-buffering (copyPixels from a rectangle from an off-screen bitmap). This doesn't scale well because Sprites have more overhead, and moving them is sometimes more expensive then copyPixels, but it works well enough in the alpha, so I'm sure beta, and release it'll still be smokin'. - Original Message - From: Dimitrios Bendilas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 6:36 AM Subject: Re: [FlashCoders] scrollRect Hi Jester, Thanks for the url. It seems very interesting. There is one thing that bothers me, aside the fact that I'would have to re-write a lot of stuff from scratch, if I used a model like this. How do you know in what depth to draw everything? How do you handle _alphas? The movieclip model provides a very easy way to stack images one above another with no problems.

Re: [Flashcoders] dynamic text field whoas
Hi Guys, I'm having a few issues with html formatted text-fields. I have embedded the following fonts in the library and given them linkage names Helvetica 55 Roman, 75 Helvetica Bold, Helvetica 56 Italic. Then I am using the code below to try to dynamically produce a textfield which can be populated with text marked up with simple html tags ( in the real application the text will come from an XML file). My client wishes to use html as their copy writers know how to use it. My problem is this the tags are ignored. What is the best course of action/ best practice in this situation? I was thinking of creating a function to assign a bold textformat (theBold) to the characters in the textfield. I could get the index of the text using pattern matching in the string but that just seems a bit like over kill isn't there a better way? theRoman = new TextFormat(Helvetica 55 Roman, 15, 0x33, true, false, false, null, null, center); theBold = new TextFormat(75 Helvetica Bold, 15, 0x33, true, false, false, null, null, center); theItalic = new TextFormat(Helvetica 56 Italic, 15, 0x33, true, false, false, null, null, center); // create a text feild this.createTextField('txtMain', 0, 10, 10, 300, 300); // txtMain.html = true; txtMain.background = true; txtMain.backgroundColor = 0xFF6600; txtMain.wordWrap = true; txtMain.embedFonts = true; txtMain.setNewTextFormat(theRoman); txtMain.htmlText = Last Updated: Wednesday, b15 February 2006/b,; txtMain.htmlText += 23:48 GMT iE-mail/i this to a friend Printable version US attacks Iraq abuse images leak; // set another text format txtMain.setTextFormat(0, 6, theBold); txtMain.setTextFormat(6, 15, theItalic); James Deakin On 7 Feb 2006, at 22:56, Nathan Derksen wrote: Damn, I always thought that seemed a silly way to do it.

Re: [Flashcoders] I.E. won't play MP3 (sometimes)
Everything is OK here : WinXP pro sp2 + IE 6.0.2900 sp2 Marc Hoffman wrote: I'd still appreciate hearing if others with I.E. 6 have trouble with this. Helmut, your findings are interesting, too. If the problem I experience is related to your experience, why would I.E. be taking longer than other browsers to download? I think they may be unrelated. Also, even after the mp3's are in my I.E. 6 cache, the sound still won't play. If I type in the mp3 URL directly, it plays in Windows MediaPlayer. Then, very rarely, the same sound will successfully play in the swf, but usually not. I may try regenerating the MP3 files in Audition -- I think I set them for MP3Pro and maybe the standard MP3 would have more success. As for download time, I'm on cable connection, so the images appear within a second or two. The images average 20 KB. Unfortunately the second image is 54 KB, so I should probably reduce it to half the size, or have a loading indicator so the user isn't confused by the wait. The MP3 files average 9.8KB and none is larger than 15 KB. They don't compete for bandwidth, since they are available only after the associated image has loaded.

Re: [Flashcoders] simple FUSE question
I would use zmc_tween: http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/using.html #include zmc_tween.as ... Of course I'm using his old stuff. Just remember that, in this case, the filename would be mc_tween2.as, and it's not so old. Just oldschool. :) i want to create a tween that loops the _y value of an mc. ( so that it goes from point A -- B -- A and loop infinitely) and upon its rollover i want the loop to stop and for the mc to scale 120%. im sure this is a no brainer ..i just cant figure it out.. thanks in advance. Artur, I can't actually help you much because I'm not that much into Fuse, but it should be somethign like this, executed at the same time: 1. make a tween for _y to go to A; 2. make a tween for _y to go to B, but add a delay so it will only start after it has reached A; All of this should be on a function. The second tween should also have a callback - when it's finished, it run that same function again. On rollover on the button, it should stop all tweens, and call a scale tween. Then, on rollout, just call the funtion again and continue from there. Maybe they have a different way of running this, since Fuse has a few different ways to do stuff, but I think this is the most straightfoward way. It should be quite easy, but I don't know the syntax specifically. If no one can reply to your question here (I think Moses will see it soon) then you can check on Fuse's documentation on the site, or ask on their forum. - Zeh ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Hi! I'm using FlashPluginSwitcher. I think when they wrote the readme file about extracting the cabs Macromedia had them still up in that format. I just checked, you're right: I guess if no one else has the players archived in a different format, you have to install them all using the exes and then use the switcher to uninstall and archive them.

RE: [Flashcoders] OT: Design patterns
One way to describe design patterns is to separate the responsibility of classes in your application, therefore making decoupling possible. Eg MVC separates the model, view and controller, potentially promoting reusability, and the ability to work on either model, view or controller independently of one another. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roman Blöth Sent: Friday, 24 February 2006 3:06 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Design patterns Anggie Bratadinata schrieb: Stephane, that's a good article.

Re: [Flashcoders] Building my application
clip.onLoad(); usually works fine for me. Unless your attaching a substantial amount of clips at run time. Then what you need to do is attach one. wait for a load event to be fired. then load the next clip. loading a substantial amount of clips at one time will get varied results when it comes to calling methods on them. Then once all of them have been loaded call like a finalInit method or something to set up the rest of the app. SMITH On Feb 23, 2006, at 1:44 PM, Patrick Matte wrote: I usually put all my movieclips on stage with a linkage to an as2 class extending MovieClip.

Re: [Flashcoders] how to make single cell in the grid non editable?
The only way I've done it is by making the entire datagrid non-editable, and listening for a double click on a single cell. When this happens, if that cell can edited that column is set to editable, and the appropriate cell is selected. On a mouse deselect (onBlur?) the column is set back to non-editable. Generally I've found that double clicking to edit a field works quite well, as I never liked that just selecting a row would start to edit the actual cell clicked.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Installing Custom Ant Tasks in Eclipse
I messed around with a few preprocessors a week or so ago, and just had so many problems (due to ignorance - I'm a noob when it comes to java/ant etc). However, finally I got FMPP to work ( http://fmpp.sourceforge.net/ ), and while the preprocessing directives aren't the prettiest (they look like html tags), once I got it working I was beyond caring about that :) This is the appropriate part from my build.xml: !-- PreProcess all the Actionscript with FMPP, output to build directory -- taskdef name=fmpp classname=fmpp.tools.AntTask classpath=${dependencies_dir}/fmpp/lib/fmpp.jar / fmpp sourceRoot=${src_dir} outputRoot=${build_dir} modes=ignore(server/**/*, lib/**/*, dependencies/**/*), execute(**/*.as), copy(**/*.swf), ignore(**/*) quiet=false data antProperties(svn_version) debug: true /data /fmpp Actually, so that modes line makes sense, my folder structure is: /build /deploy /src /com /dependencies /lib /server And I only want it to preprocess .as files from the /src and /src/com (not dependencies, lib or server), copy any .swf files (in case MTASC needs them as base files) and ignores the rest.

The long version is: + My team is building a Flash application and a set of specially designed Flash components. + The application and components know how to interact with each other through pre-defined interfaces and extension points. + Designers will use the components to build Flash movies, which will be redistributed to end-users as SWFs that will be loaded by the application. + It is inevitable that we will have to release multiple versions of the components, but we will not be able to update the Flash movies created by the designers. The challenge is how to deal with multiple versions of a given component. For example: 1) We release Version 1 of the FooComponent. 2) Designer Bob creates the Bar SWF using FooComponent V1. 3) User John gets the Bar SWF. 4) We release Version 2 of FooComponent. 3) Designer Frank creates the Zot SWF using FooComponent V2. 4) User John gets the Zot SWF. Our Flash application needs to first load Bar SWF and then later Zot SWF (or vice-versa) correctly (in the same Flash Player instance). Since we cannot make any assumptions about how we might change the components, our desired goal is to make sure that each SWF (with its version of FooComponent) is loaded fully independently. A quick test indicated that the first loaded version of FooComponent wins out over later versions of FooComponent. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions to make our needs work? Maybe a neat Object.registerClass() hack? Perhaps a Flash equivalent to Java's ClassLoader?

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with LocalConnection?
i would imagine that the lc class would be declared dynamic, but maybe it ain't on his machine. anyway check if this solves your problem var receiving_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection(); receiving_lc[showpic] = function (goWhere:String) { gotoAndPlay(goWhere); }; On 2/23/06, Dave Mennenoh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I posted this question in macromedia.flash.actionscript but haven't gotten a response...

Re: [Flashcoders] method to authenticate/license a flash app?
ZINC lets you get the machineID of the computer you are running on in one call. We match this against an expected machineID written to a licence file during installation. (The licence file has a checksum). If they don't match, then you can catch it. If you are only selling the application once, or limited times, and can do the installation yourself this should be a pretty good casual protection. If you are selling lots, then you have to add an additional way to stop the installation being run more than once. And so the layers start going on!

[Flashcoders] On2 VP6 Pro encoders
Hey all, Sorenson squeeze is making my life hell with the VP6 Pro plugin. I am using it (on OSX) mostly for the capability to insert cue points (and the compression, of course), but squeeze just sucks at the cuepoints part. While the pro plugin is only good for Squeeze, I'd buy another version if I could use it with a better tool that actually was productive. Anyone know if the Pro encoder can be used with the standard Flash video encoder? If not, another good choice for OSX which supports cuepoint insertion? I'm really hating Sorenson right now.

Re: [Flashcoders] Building my application
Thanks, its awesome. My problem was that i was running code right in the parent class constructor. Now I've just put all that code into onLoad and it works perfectly. My life will now be better. - Original Message - From: Aaron Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 5:46 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Building my application clip.onLoad(); usually works fine for me. Unless your attaching a substantial amount of clips at run time. Then what you need to do is attach one. wait for a load event to be fired. then load the next clip. loading a substantial amount of clips at one time will get varied results when it comes to calling methods on them. Then once all of them have been loaded call like a finalInit method or something to set up the rest of the app. SMITH On Feb 23, 2006, at 1:44 PM, Patrick Matte wrote: I usually put all my movieclips on stage with a linkage to an as2 class extending MovieClip. The problem I have with this technique is that sometimes, nested movieclips are not loaded when I try to call a function from their parent. Does anyone have an idea for a workaround this? I know that if I use attachMovie everytimes, I won’t get this problem because the attached movie’s constructor is instantly initiated. But I really like to put all my movieclips on stage already at the right place and then display them in any order I like. How can I be sure that everything on stage is loaded and initiated? ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
