Here are two functions I just copied from a class of mine: _nScale is the scale it will be, assuming that a perfect fit to the container box is 100%. nLPW - is the width of the container box nLPH - is the height of the container box the code also centers the mc to the box. private function resize(mc:MovieClip):Void { mc._xscale = mc._yscale = 100; var nRatio:Number = 0; if (isWider(mc)) { nRatio = _nLPW / mc._width; } else { nRatio = _nLPH / mc._height; } mc._xscale = mc._yscale = nRatio * _nScale; mc._x = _nLPW / 2 - mc._width / 2; mc._y = _nLPH / 2 - mc._height / 2; } private function isWider(mc:MovieClip):Boolean { var nProportionPhoto:Number = mc._width / mc._height; var nProportionBox:Number = _nLPW / _nLPH; return nProportionPhoto nProportionBox; } On 3/21/06, Alan Queen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: anybody have the math handy to proportionally scale one clip to another?

I thought that the images might have been bad, but i tested them in a Loader in a new doc and they load fine, so I'm guessing i'm running into some wierd dg issue. I also thought it may have been the fact that some of my rows were not visible at the time the datagrid loads...and maybe the dg would render those rows until needed. however I made all my rows fit into the visible area of the datagrid, and the same problem, some images just wont load. any ideas whats goin on? ___ 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

The really working way for interrupting a running MovieClipLoader.load(theFile.swf, mcName)-progress is by invoking MovieClipLoader.unloadClip(mcName) AND not to test it locally within your file system, but remotely via some http-server.

Re: [Flashcoders] While and Var
Dunno why I copy pasted 2 times! The only changes were in the three lines where I replaced dtd with _root[dtd] You could use _root. dtd as well. Of course you will have to optimize the code. var dtd; var spa; var spa1; var _txt:TextField; var dt = 0; while (dt=99) { dtd = var+dt; spa = dt*5; spa1 = (dt*15)+45; _root.createTextField(dtd, dt, 0, spa1, 100, 15); _txt = _root[dtd]; _txt.text=spa1; _txt.border=true; _txt.selectable=false; dt++; } Reason why it didnt work in your case - when you said dtd.text you were actually trying to access a text property of the string dtd. And it silently failed ( coz dtd was not strictly typed) You would've caught these kinda issues if you had used strict data typing :) ~Arul Prasad.

Re: [Flashcoders] sliding panels menu anyone?
Actually the way that one is set up, there doesn't seem to be any timers, so essentially you can build that using some XML and build the subMenu clips ahead of time, and place them on rollovers. And use FlashVars to send the same SWF a different variable on each page so it knows what to draw.

you don't need a wait, the way you are doing its correct, except for the order mclip.onLoad() { continue(); } mclip.loadMovie(); if you end your code right after the loadmovie it will continue on the onLoad. cheers GaB. ___ 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] Loading local Html File from offline Presentation
Hello Flashfriends, I'd like to open a local html site from a projector-presentation on CD. I need to point to an relative (because I dont know the CD-Driveletter of the running Systems) URL on the CD (absolute path: CD-DriveLetter:\websites\first.html) . I've tried: getUrl('file://websites/first.html','_blank'); getUrl('websites/first.html','_blank'); There are around 200 sites in my websites-folder, so I don't like to use fscommand because of the fact that I need a entire .exe/.bat-file for every site, because you can't pass parameters with fscommand... Any sugestions on that issue? Thank you in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] wait or sleep
I believe the effect of a wait() function in Flash would cause an application to freeze/hang. Actionscript is a single threaded language, I don't even think a wait() type function could be implemented with sufficient practicality. Wouldn't it just stop the entire thread from executing any further, then resume it, leaving the state of the application identical to the state it was in prior to calling the wait() function? Is Java not multi threaded? Am I wrong? M. On 3/21/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you are inside a loop, and need to wait you have a big problem!

[Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script message to appear
I'm working on a complex Flash online application. Its all done in code and components, consisting of over 200 classes and probably around 50,000 lines of code. Unfortunately we have one unresolved issue. In a couple of places we have print functionality. When the print job system dialogue appears, the Flash player seems to treat it as a loop - after the usual 15 seconds, cascading Abort Script messages appear across the screen (A script in this movie is causing Macromedia Flash 8 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?). I have tried putting a simple print button on the stage, which calls the example code from Flash Help to test printing in isolation from the rest of the application, but the problem still occurs. My question is... is there any undocumented way of temporarily disabling the Script running slowly alert? Or any other workaround? Our application is going to look seriously unprofessional if we can't find a way out. I've double-posted this plea on a Macromedia forum, hope noone takes offence.

[Flashcoders] Custom V2 Components - Compiled vs. StandardComponents.fla
We've been building some custom V2 components in Flash 8, and have found some issues regarding the Uncompiled components found in StandardComponents.fla, vs. the compiled SWCs. For example, the Label from the StandardComponents.fla file will not accept styles for font after we instantiate it using createClassObject(). Using the compiled Label instead, works fine. Also, the TextArea from the StandardComponents.fla file will not always output its text properly. Often after a compile it will have HTML wrappers around its text instead of just the text. Again, using the compiled SWC works. Has anyone else encountered such problems? If so, are there other solutions to using the uncompiled versions, rather than resorting to using the SWCs?

Re: [Flashcoders] wait or sleep
yes, we did a recent benchmark for a client that requires some real power, running the same set of arithmetic calculations this is what we discovered: as2 finished executing the code in approximately 20 seconds Java finished executing the code, in 3 renditions, 1422/ 1402/ 1438 milliseconds as3 finished executing the code, in 3 renditions, 1402/ 1438/ 1402 milliseconds These approximations would fluctuate between as3 and Java, but the bottom line is that as3 is just as powerful as Java in processing power.

[Flashcoders] AS Files question

Let's call it Class B If I want to properly reference Class B from within the Class A AS file , what is the best way to do it ? Do I just have to import class B before class A within my FLA ?

Without it the file won't launch again. Zipping it is not a solution as it doesn't preserve ressource forks. You could use .sit, but there are no AFAIK a windows analog.

I'm not quite sure whether I got your issue right, but I can tell you that - as long as the classes and FLAs reside in the _same_ directory, they automatically know each other. But since you might place your AS files in a separate directory - or even in a separate directory structure (when using packages) - you have to tell Flash (and SEPY, MTASC etc.) the path where your directory structure begins...

Re: [Flashcoders] Object.watch overhead?
I see, just for some info, the compiler won't allow the watching of getter and setter functions. It should yield less overhead than any alternative, such as observer/listener patterns with ASBroadcast, otherwise I don't see the purpose in having it at all. I'm not sure about the garbage collection, but based on the functions they provide for you, I would assume that the Object class has an internal watch list that would be removed with the removal of the object, so if you're deleting the object then I don't think you should call unwatch before doing so, otherwise, I think there is as much a reason for the unwatch function for managing the object as is to controlling its watch refrences, as this is the only thing that should pertain to overhead. I mean, if you remove a property in a dynamic object class, then you should probably remove it with a wrapper function, passing the property name as an argument, the idea is to unwatch it if it's being watched before deleting it. I would guess that this is most optimal, unless however an object does this before removing a property of itself anyways. I don't know the answer to this question. I hope this helps, M.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS Files question
That works. Thanks for the information :) Patrick Jean Directeur de projets internet Monac'OH Data Mercantour http://www.monacoh.com -Original Message- Yeah, you should - besides your issue - NEVER rely on values passed during variable declaration! These values sometimes are not stored inside the variables... To make your code work (I hope) you'd better write your class as follows: - import SequencerOBJ; class ComOBJ extends LoadVars { private var myTest:SequencerOBJ=null; public function ComOBJ() { myTest = new SequencerOBJ(It works); } } - This should do the job.

Re: [Flashcoders] Un-HQX, Burn in Mac, make ISO in PC, and make copies in PC
hqx are not macintosh projectors per se, they are the encoded versions of Macintosh (including the rsrc fork) projectors that _can_ be copied around, you would then decode the hqx on a Mac or using something like CDEverywhere on a PC, which decodes the hqx on the fly as it creates a disc image to burn in Nero et al.

RE: [Flashcoders] Browse folders from flash
...and in mx04, you would need to use javascript or some other slightly kludgey solution, like the yamzbrowser one. Basically use a hidden form field and javascript to trigger a 'press' of the 'browse' button on the hidden form in a 0% height frame or some such thing.

Re: [Flashcoders] Custom V2 Components - Compiled vs. StandardComponents.fla
i just asked recently on this list about using the uncompiled component clips from the StandardComponents.fla instead of the compiled clips in my custom component (like it says to do in the documentation). the answer i got was to just use the precompiled clips anyway. I've been using them and havent run into any issues yet. On 3/21/06, Keith Takayesu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We've been building some custom V2 components in Flash 8, and have found some issues regarding the Uncompiled components found in StandardComponents.fla, vs. the compiled SWCs. For example, the Label from the StandardComponents.fla file will not accept styles for font after we instantiate it using createClassObject(). Using the compiled Label instead, works fine. Also, the TextArea from the StandardComponents.fla file will not always output its text properly. Often after a compile it will have HTML wrappers around its text instead of just the text. Again, using the compiled SWC works. Has anyone else encountered such problems? If so, are there other solutions to using the uncompiled versions, rather than resorting to using the SWCs?

RE: [Flashcoders] 27th March Sydney Developers study group
Oh, I hate to write an email like this, but I just keep wishing that all the emails from this user group would just go away... And they don't. There's another one today. Bash on me if you want, but I just don't think this is appropriate fodder for an internationally-based coding list. How many of the thousands of coders on this list are in Sydney anyway? 3? 5? 10? For the rest of us, these notices are just trash bin material and a complete waste of bandwidth. I know it's only a small number of postings coming through here each month, but what if EVERY user group started posting their meeting notices here? How many user groups are there worldwide? Hundreds? THOUSANDS? We would quickly be overrun. And it's simply not fair to let one post and not another. Even Figleaf, who runs this list AND a number of user groups, doesn't post their meeting notices here. I don't mind a new group starting up sending one or two announcement posts to the list - there are a lot of coders here and hopefully a new group can get an initial influx of members in this way. But the Sydney group is nearly a year old, so it seems to me that THIS LIST ought to be able to get back to coding issues, of which there are plenty, sometime soon. Again, I don't mean to offend anybody, and I really don't like writing emails like this. I just think this kind of content belongs elsewhere. And if it is somehow appropriate, just let me know and I'll shut up... Thanks for listening.

[Flashcoders] Protecting Shared Objects
I'm working on a CD product that needs to store a lot of data locally for easy lookup. Before your eyes glaze over and you point me at Zinc, know that this poor little product needs to run on OS 9, OSX, and Windows. Zinc doesn't do OS 9. But, aha, local shared objects! We can use them! Sure we can, but then there's a problem that some wiseguy could wipeout our entire database by clicking around in the Flash plugin settings for a good long time. So: the tentative plan says we could run a little executable via an fscommand at startup that checks to see if the LSO's are in good order, and archives them elsewhere if so. If they've been hosed, the little executable would un-archive the last backup and put them back in the right location. This sounds a little a rinky-dink, but it seems a heck of a lot easier than wrestling with a custom director wrapper and a real database. Just how icky does this sound to everyone?

[Flashcoders] Can't get rid of halo rectangle
I'm trying to assign custom icons to a Button dynamically in a custom component. Here is my code snippet: mybutton = createClassObject ( Button, mybutton , this.startDepth++, {_x:myx ,_y:myy,_width:15.9,_height:14.7, falseOverIcon:btnCalendarViewFalseOverSkin,falseUpIcon:btnCalendarVie wFalseUpSkin,falseDownIcon:btnCalendarViewFalseDownSkin, falseDisabledIcon:btnCalendarViewFalseDisabledSkin} ); However, when I compile the Component to a SWF and then instantiate it, the green halo rectangle still appears under all the icons. In fact, it is still active under all of that. This has me baffled, perhaps it's just too late in the day to figure it out. 2nd problem: I have also tried to extend the Button class and apply the icons, as shown in the Advanced Actionscript Components book. Then, I don't have the rectangle problem, but the registration seems to be off, and height and width come back as zero!

RE: [Flashcoders] Browse folders from flash
File class in Java. Represents files and directories. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/File.html You can do some searches and find a ton of tutorials on this I imagine, although the API is fairly straight-forward. The list() method is what you're interested in. As far as communication goes, you're going to have to use the Socket and ServerSocket classes. They make the task of communication between Flash and Java near painless. I can send a little sample socket server over if you want.

Re: [Flashcoders] LOADVARS not working IE
Success at last !!! Thanks all for info. I came across cache issues, but was so confused by it all, I lost the plot. Robert, you reply made me look again at this cache issue, and after reading a comment at the main php website, the answer was so simple... just typical. Again for info that might help someone: ( I hope it makes sense, as still a novice) I used charles - very usual (although seemed buggy to me) web development tool that monitors http requests and such live in your browser window (firefox extension available) I noticed that the pragma: no cache header with other headers were being sent from the phpfile to the flash. This caused internet explorer to not get the data, although works fine in Firefox. So, it seems that these headers (sent auto. from apache server) were causing the problem. (as roberts link he provided) so, by adding this line at the start of the php file i'm calling from flash: session_cache_limiter(must-revalidate); immediately stopped the headers and solved the problem. Here below is the headers sent before and after I added the line above: /BEFORE// HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 01:02:36 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.49 (Fedora) X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.10 Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache Content-Length: 124 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 ///AFTER HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 01:03:56 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.49 (Fedora) X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.10 Content-Length: 124 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 // As you can see, the Pragma: no-cache, Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT and Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 are removed thus fixing the problem.

[Flashcoders] Database modeling for AS projects
I've been doing some research on various modeling tools which would enable me to easily model databases for future flash projects. Came across two very interesting solutions which should be on your radar. My requirements are as follows: 1. Feature rich, stable application which allows reverse engineering of existing database. 2. Compatibility with MySQL databases and Linux. 3. Ability to generate SQL statements directly from diagrams. 4. Exporting diagrams as an image and or printing is a must. 5. Uses open standards which allow me to utilize output in other applications. 6. Allow easy navigation of the entire database scheme, which includes finding and navigating to specified table. 7. Minimal cost. Solution 1: DBDesigner4 from fabFORCE.net (http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner4/) Fits in-line with all of the above and more. While I do wish that there was an add-on to Eclipse. It's interface is stable offers ease of use, by far a very powerful application which will save me time during the planning phase of extensive projects. DBDesigner4 is also available for the Windows platform and is GNU Licensed. Solution 2: Azzurri Clay from Azzurri Ltd. (http://www.azzurri.jp/en/index.jsp) Another gem which is a native plug-in for Eclipse. Azzurri Clay available in either Core or Pro version, Core being free and Pro costing 35,000 YEN -- about $300 give or take. Sadly to say the Pro version is apparently no longer available for sale outside of Japan according to their english website. While the Core version isn't as feature rich as DBDesigner4, it's worth mentioning if your needs are basic. One thing I found limiting is that there is no export to image which is important if working in a team environment. Clay Core supports additional databases besides MySQL such as PostgreSQL, however, there is no SQL Sever support. As a plug-in for Eclipse it's available on all Java enabled platforms.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 Vs. AS1
David, I'm not familiar with the debugger, i did put in some trace's but came back with nothing. here's the URL where I am trying to get it working http://sireclothing.com/final/ here's the php ?php //get email value from POST variable $email = trim($_POST['email']); //add a new line for Each email address $email .=\n; //initialize the variable $fileName = subscribe.txt; //open files if (is_writable($fileName)) { if(!$fp = fopen($fileName,a)){ echo status=Can't open the file name $fileName; exit; } if (fwrite($fp,$email) === FALSE) { echo status=Can't write to $fileName; exit; } echo status=ok; fclose($fp); } else { echo status=The file $fileName is not writable; } ? If you take a look the status goes directly to Problem. I've been at this all day, no results, any help?

Re: [Flashcoders] Browse folders from flash
