Re: [Flashcoders] rotate gradient fill
it seems that matrix of form {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i} is capable of doing this job i found matrix implementation that allows this kindof manipulations at http://www.flashadvisor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=380start=0 and seems that after transfering ti to AS2 and slight modifications it might help anyways, that just isnt logical that one kind of matrix does something that other kind doesnt while they shsould be equal shame on you Adobe :) 2006/2/24, Josh McDonald [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Yeah my bad, I didn't think flash could do a skewed radial gradient.

Josh McDonald Analyst Programmer Information Technology Ph: 61 7 3006 6460 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 23/02/2006 11:58:42 pm Hello people! Just noticed that beginGradientFill matrix r property doesn't have any effect on radial fills. That might be my mistake as well, though i tested it with MM sample code and still no luck. this.createEmptyMovieClip(gradient_mc, this.getNextHighestDepth()); with (gradient_mc) { colors = [0xFF, 0xFF]; fillType = radial; alphas = [100, 100]; ratios = [0, 0xFF]; matrix = {matrixType:box, x:100, y:125, w:200, h:150, r:(90/180)* Math.PI}; beginGradientFill(fillType, colors, alphas, ratios, matrix); moveTo(100, 100); lineTo(100, 300); lineTo(300, 300); lineTo(300, 100); lineTo(100, 100); endFill(); } In this code changing 90 degrees to anything else has no effect at all. Anyone noticed this one before, maybe somebody have ideas how to make workaround? I know about Matrix object in flash player 8 that might help me with this problem but I'd like to avoid it and stay flash player 7 compatible as long as possible.

RE: [Flashcoders] sound problem
I don't like using stopAllSounds(), I just looks at it as old and deprecated in my eyes. I rather code so that I know of all sounds via a soundmanager or other solutions. I have had problems sometimes with different browsers and and how tabs works. Once a stopAllSounds()-trigger also made the other opened browser to stop its sound that waas playing in another flash, at another domain.. Strange that was, but I guess it has more to do with the browsers way of handling than the flash in some issues regarding when sounds sometimes stops when switching tabs, and sometimes it doesn't.

[Flashcoders] Text formatting problems
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 containing said text). 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 ___ 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

Re: [Flashcoders] method to authenticate/license a flash app?
Dongles are cracked just as quickly. Accounting software however, generally has a 6 month update cycle for tax purposes, meaning that u need a new cracked version every six months. Hence most pyr8s don't bother. For a quick solution, force an update cycle. Meaning that your app times out after 6 months, and the user needs to get an upgraded version using their serial number.

Re: [Flashcoders] haXe Flash
It looks they've gotten a bit scrambled with the introduction of AS3 (could be wrong). But with the Flex compiler and framework coming for free, and haXe not being 100% compatible with AS3 (as before mtasc wasn't 100% compat too but the situation was different), I've yet to see a benefit to using it. Keep in mind the AS3 compiler is a lot more complex to develop, making as AS2 compiler is a toy compared (I hope I'm not being too extreme, but my impression so far) to this. So haXe will have to be really really good at the output and optimizations to match a native AS3 output.

Re: [Flashcoders] What does this PATENT mean??
The US Patent Office is a mess and I suspect that most software patents like this one are not valid since their are lots of examples of prior art. This patent would be challenged by every big company if the owners ever tried to enforce it. They would have a hard time proving that they were the first to build a RIA. There is a bigger problem in the making. The proposed US law to move the patent process to a first-to-file basis will be the end of open source development and be a big impediment to any custom software work. This is a serious issue and the American business community had better get their act together and put a stop to that proposed law. What the new law appears to do is to say that it does not matter who invents something, it only matters who files for the patent first. This will mean that anyone can monitor open source projects looking for new ideas and then file patents on them. They only have to extract the core of the idea, describe it and go. They do not have to disclose how they discovered it and only have to worry that someone else is applying for the same stolen idea at the same time. The original author then has to notice that the patent application has been filed and protest to the Patent Office within some delay (60 days or some relatively short period). This means that every open source project will have to employ a full-time patent lawyer to protect the work. Every little detail will have to be patented to protect your right to use the code that you write and you will have to monitor each day's patent filings and prepare a legal objection to each patent that is filed on ideas already in common use. This is obviously being backed by the big companies(IBM, Microsoft,SCO) and patent squatting operations that can afford to set up a poaching operation to find new ideas from open source projects and patent them before the authors realize that the idea is worth patenting. The impact on American business will be huge over the long term., if you think of all of the software that is based on open source and the chilling effect that this will have on custom software development. You will not be able to write a program for a client or within an IT department without patenting everything that you suspect might be innovative for fear of waking up in 2 years to find out that someone is knocking on your door saying that they patented the process long after you wrote the program and that you or your employer or your customer are in violation of their patent even if you wrote the code long before they applied for a patent. You can not be sure when you write the code even if you check for existing patents. Each programmer will have to provided with a patent lawyer to do the searches and prepare the documentation to file patents and to negotiate license agreements for ideas already patented. The cost for business will be huge. This law is slowly being pushed through the US Congress - drug companies seem to be behind this as well. If you are an American or have American clients, urge them to write their elected representatives to warn against this law. If you are outside the US, write to your elected representatives to urge them to protest to the US government and start the process to cease to recognize US Patents based on this proposed law. If we wait for the law to be passed, there will be years of chaos and endless litigation before the law can be repealed. This document promotes first-to file. http://www4.nationalacademies.org/news.nsf/isbn/0309089107?OpenDocument This is a blog that discusses the progress of the bill through Congress. http://promotetheprogress.com/archives/2006/01/more_smoke_sign.html Ron stefano wrote: I found it while browsing, read it and remained stuck...

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash connecting to a database - all running on a DVD-ROM
How about SWF Studio and SQLite? SQLite is a no-install database solution. Check out Andre Goliath's site: http://www.software-and-solutions.de/ He's put together a SQLite connector for SWF Studio. I don't know what the cost of v12flash will be (it's in beta right now), but judging by the pricing for their Director equivalent, the SWF Studio/SQLite option would be slightly cheaper, and of course you get a lot more than just database features with SWF Studio.

Re: [Flashcoders] haXe Flash
If a little part that you written is true, you're my hero! 2006/2/24, Nicolas Cannasse [EMAIL PROTECTED]: It looks they've gotten a bit scrambled with the introduction of AS3 (could be wrong). You are ;) haXe have been planned after AS3 was announced. But with the Flex compiler and framework coming for free, and haXe not being 100% compatible with AS3 (as before mtasc wasn't 100% compat too but the situation was different), I've yet to see a benefit to using it. haXe is not only Flash. You can use the same language to develop the JavaScript part of the website, and the Server part as well. Hence having one single language on the two sides : client and server. Plus, the haXe language is by far more powerful and flexible than AS3, thanks to the flexible type system and new features such as iterators, type parameters and enums. Keep in mind the AS3 compiler is a lot more complex to develop, making as AS2 compiler is a toy compared (I hope I'm not being too extreme, but my impression so far) to this. So haXe will have to be really really good at the output and optimizations to match a native AS3 output. There's been progress in this domain as well. You should expect haXe to be able to get AS3 speed and new APIs quite soon. Plus, you will still be able to use haXe to target Flash 6-7-8 player which is not the case for AS3.

[Flashcoders] object.watch() current frame label for audio / photo sync
I searched the archive for object.watch and found that object.watch can't check getter/setters. my question is can it watch a read-only? http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/htdig/flashcoders/2002-April/ 030960.html I want to watch a read-only property of an object -- basically, I want a make a Movieclip._currentLabel in actionscript 2.0 b/c my audience can't go to flash8 yet Movie Clip: Frame=47 Target=_level0.play_this_audio Label=1 //This is returned when you list objects in the flash export movie //(cmnd+enter = cmnd+L) How can I watch the Label of a movie clip? That is to say, I have a external swf that contains labels, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc and an audio track. This swf, swf one, is called into swf two, which contains photos. while the swf one plays its audio, every few seconds along the timeline it fires off a function that makes swf two advance to a different photo. The problem is, I want the correct photo to come up when the user begins to navigate via a nonlinear draggable timeline representation of the audio length. (meaning - everything is fine if people can't do anything but watch it - the minute they skip back/forward it all becomes out of sync) It seems the only way to do this dynamically is to know which photo should be displaying at that point via a range - like frame label Essentially, the movie will move to the correct photo anyway during playback after the audio hits a keyframe with an advance function. However, I want it to happen as soon as the user releases the draggable timeline - the same time as the stopdrag() command. This is so the audio and photos won't ever become out of sync //pseudo code controlNavBar.controlCircle_mc.onReleaseOutside=function () { stopDrag(); timelineLength = 150; var jumpPoint = int((controlNavBar.controlCircle_mc._x/ timelineLength)*allFramesInAudio); // move the audio to the exact location from draggable bar _root.play_this_audio.gotoAndPlay(jumpPoint); var whichPictureToSee = object.watch(_root.play_this_audio, Label); if (whichPictureToSee != 0) { // jump to correct image when the audio has been adjusted markerPic(whichPictureToSee); } else { // get first image in zero-index array markerPic(0); } // end pseudo code I have been digging around for some type of dynamic answer, I don't know that object.watch works like this at all, but I don't really have any ideas. I want to know the frame label, or count the number of actions/function calls without having to play the audio first and do a count using i++ or something. This is all for the sake of the user being able to rewind / fast-forward / jump around in the audio - while seeing the correct visuals thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on my question / problem -gregory ___ 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

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. It just seems a lot of work, it's like re-inveting the wheel. How much can performance benefit from an approach like this? Any benchmarks, numbers? Is there a hybrid approach maybe? One that requires less code but increases performance? Thanks!

[Flashcoders] createChildAtDepth help needed
Hi all, Im just trying to dynamically attach an mc onto the stage... i know newb stuff :P Movie has one mc on the stage with an instance name of display, attached to that mc is the following code: onClipEvent(load){ import mx.managers.DepthManager.*; display.createChildAtDepth(piccer, mx.managers.DepthManager.kTop ,{_x:0,_y:0}); for(var foo in display){ trace(foo + = + display[foo]); } } There is definitely a a symbol in the library with piccer as its identifier, the trace isnt returning anything so i dont believe its a visibility problem (and the regpoint of piccer is 0,0 as well). The function doesnt return anything useful so no help there, the docs are close to useless so no help there, can anyone enlighten me as to what i am doing wrong here ?
