Re: [Flashcoders] Is it possible to change Stage background color atruntime?
Doh! If you're having trouble managing the size of the MC you're using as a 'fake' background, you could always just use a manageable size and use: MC._width = Stage.width; MC._width = Stage.height; Make sure you run that onResize if you're allowing people to resize the window of the projector.

RE: [Flashcoders] Dynamically loading an SWF into a movie
Thanks Jason!
It turns out that when I use loadMovieNum on the target Movie Clip, it
embeds without a problem - but this function is really a 500 pound
gorilla IMO. Everything on the stage gets deleted, and I'm back to the
same blank screen that I would have had if I didn't even use a
preloader to begin with! No listeners can be attached, even if the
objects that displayed their return values (like dynamic text) could
sit on the stage without being wiped out. Then again, when I stick
with loadMovie, I can position the clip and add listeners, but once
again, the button functionality is lost.
I still have this thing live with a grey screen...
Every tutorial I try to dig up has me putting frames in front of the
content of the target movie clip, so using that approach just isn't
working. Per my last email, the image distortion is unbelievable (and
as yet unexplained) whenever I move the coordinating code off of the
first frame. For the bold, here it is. It all sits in one blank frame
essentially coordinating library contents.
// create a scene movieclip to contain all 3D elements
// and center it on the screen.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("theScene", 0);

[Flashcoders] [OT] Looking for games, game developers
Hey fellow Flashcoders, I'm a founder of Bunchball - we provide multi-player gaming services to communities and social networks. We have partners integrating our services and going live soon, so we're pretty excited. We're looking for new multi-player Flash games to run on our platform. If you have an existing game (maybe written for multiple people at one machine or player vs. computer) that you think would work well in a non-twitch multi-player environment, let me know. We'd love to talk to you about porting your game to our network and either paying you for it or working out some sort of rev-share deal with you. We're looking for standards like chess, bowling, card games, etc. but also anything new, fun, and interesting. And if you have an idea for a game, drop me a line. If we like it we can pay you to develop it. If you have ideas for lots of games and would like a job designing and implementing games and managing remote teams doing the same, then you should also drop me a link to your resume and portfolio :) We're based in Mountain View, California, but are open to remote team members. Our platform is HTTP-based, not a socket server, so twitch games won't work well. That said, we're optimizing our server architecture so that response/data transfer time is very fast (and I'm getting to learn about things like Squid, Perlbal and Memcached in the process). And someday maybe we can switch everything over to Red5. Our API is AS1 and AS2 compatible. No AS3. yet :) best, - rajat -- Rajat Paharia [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bunchball.com http://www.rootburn.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
RE: [Flashcoders] RE: reposition MC on release
I said that with no malice, only matter-of-factness. :)\
MM put those in for a reason. Not everyone who uses Flash is, nor should
be, a programmer. If only programmers used Flash, I somehow doubt it would
be as successful as it is. At the same time, it never hurts to learn better
ways to work in Flash.
This specific method is useful because when you put all your button actions
in a frame script you gain a lot.
1) It's easy to find all your actions for all your buttons in one place. No
clicking on all your buttons to try and find the one that's buggy when
you're debugging.
2) Makes it much easier on somebody else following behind you, eliminating
having to click on all your clips to find the scripts.
3) You can put all your regular AS code in include files and that makes it
easy to make changes to the functionality without requiring saving the FLA.
This is of huge benefit when two people need to work on the same file,
especially a programmer and a designer. The designer can make graphical
changes in the FLA while the designer can continue to write code for the
same FLA and then just take the designer's FLA and go from there.

[Flashcoders] changing the width of a dynamic text field
I have a single dynamic text field (pText) I'd like to dynamically
change the width of. It is multiline with a border, and other options are off.
When I execute the following actionscript:
trace('w1:'+pText._width);
pText._width=200;
trace('w2:'+pText._width);
the trace output is:
w1:400
w2:375.7
Why isn't the width of the textfield at w2 set to 200? Seems like it
should. (I'm prepared for a "d'oh" and slap to the forehead).

Re: [Flashcoders] callBack for Beginners ?
good!
Beware that EventDispatcher isn't very MTASC compliant, so you'd better
use Grant Skinner's GDispatcher. You can use it exactly in the same way
than the EventDispatcher. Another advantage of this is that Grant's
dispatcher enables you to add parameters (can be very useful sometimes).
In the same manner, you can replace the Delegate class by one proxy
class such as the Joey Lott's Proxy.

I will make a good review on mx.utils.Delegate and

2006/6/7, Julien Vignali <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I would suggest to keep the loading of the parameter file simple and
create a ParameterFilesLoader class that would handle a queue of urls to
load in an array.
The class would eventually dispatch state events that your main class
would listen to, and show appropriate message to the user and handle the
state of your app.
Using mx.utils.Delegate and mx.events.EventDispatcher is a good practice
;) Ask me if you need some help building this stuff.

[Flashcoders] How do URL-Encoded Vars get perceived by the Flash Movie??
Hello All, I am a huge advocate of declaring all my Vars, and 99% of all my Applications, are comprised of ClassFiles extending MovieClips - this way, I can use the AS 2.0 methods of programming, and keep my Apps as clean as possible. Now in my Root Timeline, I initialize all my MovieClips there, and get the initial ball rolling, based on Variables that have been passed in the URL. I am embedding my Vars directly inside the tags (i.e. myMovie.swf?varName=value) It's my understanding, that these Vars are immediately available to the Movie, once it starts up. In the Root Timeline, how are these Vars viewed by the application? Right this moment, I am using "this.varName" and it seems to be working fine that way. I still feel that I need a better understanding of this topic, to avoid any future problems that come up (in case, my movie doesn't behave the way it should) What would happen, if I declared these Vars in my startup code? Is this still considered a good practice, only in the case of Vars passed via the URL? These Vars are accessible regardless of me formally declaring them or not - but I want to Cast them properly. Some Vars that I pass in, are Strings, some Numeric, and some Boolean. Could any of you explain to me, the overall topic of Vars that get passed in via the URL? How do they get created inside the movie? Should I still declare them? - or by declaring them, am I jeopardizing the creation process? If I cast them using the Var statement, will that ensure they will get cast as THAT TYPE, when they are passed in via the URL? I would love to hear how all this works, and also, when they technically become available - so that I can start loading other MovieClips (knowing for sure, that they are fully initialized - and not "undefined" when I try to access their values). Thanks again everybody!!

I bought them and my experience is very similar. EXTREMELY disappointed. The skinning is good but the lack of documentation and support is appalling. The documentation has holes all throughout it.

RE: [Flashcoders] How to hide SWF Assets from Internet users
Thanks everybody, I shall go through all the suggestions, and try to implement something that will work for all parties concerned. I guess it is truly a balance between security and usability. That Player 9 solution sounds wonderful! - That's how we deliver some of our Jpegs (in a Binary data Stream, directly from a Database field) - and always loved that type of solution. Overall, it's faster and less overhead, simply using databases to contain the pointer reference, for where the actual file is located. BUT, for ultimate security, I'd love the ability to store all the binary data in a database, and then "create it" on the fly. Take care everyone, Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Lee Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 12:54 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] How to hide SWF Assets from Internet users This is a problematic area for sure. It's technically impossible to completely protect the data in a swf from being cached and decompiled. If you do use the _url property, it is entirely possible for someone to decompile and rewrite the "viewer" swf to send back whatever they want instead of the _url property. With regard to the PHP script that was mentioned earlier: scripts like these that prevent caching may not work the same across different browsers and OS's. Also, they can be defeated with other tools. Essentially, if the bytes can get to your machine, they can be captured. You have to understand the level of risk involved and decide what lengths you wish to go in order to protect your data. It may be appropriate to use one of the methods suggested already, or it may be that something more robust is in order. Since we're talking about maps, I would think that you wouldn't need to go to great lengths to protect them (unless they are maps to buried treasure!). That said, Flash Player 9 will have the ability to load a swf over a socket into a ByteArray and then display it with Loader.loadBytes. This would be a pretty bullet-proof way to prevent the swf from being cached, and make it much more difficult to capture. But, you may not want to wait for Player 9. Present day, you could look at rendering the maps using the Drawing API - then you'd just be passing coordinates instead of whole swfs. But, that would take significant effort, and it sounds like it's pretty late in the game. -tom -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bieniasz, Myles Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 1:09 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] How to hide SWF Assets from Internet users One way is to use the _url property, which will point to the .swf's location on the file system, then just have each map check if it's residing at the proper url.

I wrote a map viewer application for my client, in which my viewer can load .swf Vector Maps from a predetermined directory on the server. >From within my viewer, the users can perform drill-down queries, by selecting contents of multiple dropdown boxes - State, Region, then Lake Name. Paid subscribers, have full access to their maps - but it's imperative that they can ONLY view these maps from within the viewer app. Since the Flash Map Viewer, needs to retrieve these maps from the server using a public URL (unless I am overlooking something), how can I hide these maps from the world - if the outside users are able to figure out which path to type into their browser, and snatch up maps? I know that server-side scripts, can access local resources - like "D:\Documents", etc. - but once the Map Viewer is running from a Remote Browser, how can I bury these maps under some type of file system that is not directly accessible by the outside world (but only through the Map Viewer app)??? Also, once the user views a particular map, how can I prevent the map.swf file from being Cached on their hard drive? If any of you could help me out regarding this, I'd be very appreciative.

Re: [Flashcoders] reposition MC on release
exactly as I told before
try to use vars to reference to object as much as possible and use this o
point to the current clip, if is _root fine, but if you move to another one
it still works
var myButton = this.attachMovie( "buttonMCinLibrary", "newName",
this.getNextHighestDepth()) ;
myButton.onRelease = function()
{
this.endX = -500;
this.endY = -200;
}
2006/6/7, Steven Sacks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Don't use on (release) {}, use btn.onRelease = function() {} in the frame.
Putting on (action) {} methods on button and movieclip instances is for
designers who don't know how to code.
When you assign button actions to movieclips or buttons, unless you use
"this", it's going to refer to the movieclip it resides in.
Example:
// Tells BTN_Foo's timeline to go to frame 2
BTN_Foo.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
};
// Tells the timeline of the clip containing BTN_Foo to go to frame 2
BTN_Foo.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);
};
// Or you can write it like this
BTN_Foo.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.gotoAndStop(2);
};
Same thing goes for variables.
You can assign the clip to the button.
BTN_Foo.clipToControl = _level0.MC_Clip;
BTN_Foo.onRelease = function() {
this.clipToControl._x = 100;
};

Subject: [Flashcoders] Dynamically loading an SWF into a movie clip
Hey all,
This is my first post. I'm John. I've been playing with Flash for
a
few years now, and after getting a gig, I actually have to follow
through with these ideas for once. Here's my situation, which
>>consists
of two problems:
1. I completed a movie with some pretty intense actionscript which
>>all
sits in one frame It's pretty long, so I'll post all the code at
the
end of the email. Basically, this script organizes and orchestrates
the contents of the library - the only thing on the screen is the
background image.
However, when I try to build a preloader for this movie, I have to
>>move
it back a couple of frames to make some space. However, whenever I
move the blank keyframe containing all of the actionscript, the
contents of the library gets SEVERELY downsampledbasically it
>>looks
like it was terribly compressed. It's for a photography website, so
you can imagine how this is totally not OK.
This site is http://www.elizabethjochum.com/main.html
2. Since I couldn't make room for a preloader in the main file, I
decided to create another movie clip and do it externally. Here's
the
code that (was suppposed to) do this:
---
var dasListener:Object = new Object();
//uses the listener to power a percentage readout of the loadin
>>progress
dasListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip,
bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number) {
BLART = Math.round(bytesLoaded/bytesTotal*100);
TEXT = BLART+"%";
//fades the image to clear as a function of percentage loaded
IMAGETOFADE._alpha = 100 - BLART;
};
dasListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
//moves to the last frame in the movie to imbed main.swf
gotoAndPlay(4);
};
this.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc", 0);
var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(dasListener);
image_mcl.loadClip("http://www.elizabethjochum.com/main.swf";,
>>image_mc);
--
It works very nicely - the percentage goes up, the image fades, and
>>all
is well...until the main.swf comes in. None of the buttons work,
and
I'm stuck.
I tried playing with the image_mcl.loadClip depths, but the buttons
still don't respond!
This is what I mean:
http://www.elizabethjochum.com/preloader.htm
Thanks in advance for any help on this, really...I can't sleep until
I
figure this one out!!!
If I can (1) put the preloader in before the images without losing
the
quality or (2) embed the swf in the movie clip with full
>>functionality,
I'll be able to go on my merry way.
Cheers,
John C.

[Flashcoders] media components with mp3
I'm trying to use v2 media components to make a player for an mp3 that has no background and is of a specified size and will respond to external events. I tried two things: a media playback component, and a media display plus associated media controller, but both have problems. There is a sample of these here: http://flash-creations.com/dev/mp3play.html The left side uses the media playback component. It works fine -- when you click the play button it starts playing and when you click the Pause button below (not part of the component), it pauses and displays the appropriate controls. But I *can't turn off the background and I can't fit it into the dotted line area*. The right side uses media display and media controller. It looks fine, but it doesn't work right. Clicking play makes it start playing and clicking the Pause button below makes it pause but it *doesn't change the controller's controls to match*, even though the display and controller have been associated with the associateController method. If anyone has an idea of how I can make the sample on the left fit into the area within the dotted line and have no background, or make the sample on the right behave correctly when an external Pause button is pressed (or any external event occurs), I'm all ears.

RE: [Flashcoders] Attach jpg?
Ooops - replied to the wrong thread.
Yes - Flash 8 only. You can't do it with attachMovie unless it's inside
a MovieClip symbol as far as I know. In Flash 8, you can do this:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var myGraphic:String = "MyGraphicLinkageID"; var myBitmapData:BitmapData
= BitmapData.loadBitmap(myGraphic); var mc:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myImage", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.attachBitmap(myBitmapData, this.getNextHighestDepth());

[Flashcoders] anyone using mCom?
I've been disappointed with the MCOM components. Alot of that has to do with the lack of documentation and support. They match the V2 API's in many cases, but in the cases where they don't its not always easy to figure out how to make them work the way you want since the methods and properties are not properly documented. In some cases the existing documentation has incorrect method and property names adding to the frustration. Then when you try to contact their support you're very lucky to ever hear back from them. They have a support ticket system (not linked anywhere on their site), but I can't find how to access the page to add a new ticket, I can only get to the list of my old list of tickets (thanks to some old emails I saved). Its not a good support situation to say the least. There are some bugs in the components, which is understandable, but without proper support it becomes a pretty big problem when you run into them. I expected much better than this especially considering the price tag. If they improved support and actively updated them, only then could I recommend purchasing them. On the positive side, I do like the skinning capabilities. Its flexible and pretty straight forward once you get past the errors in the documentation (I seem to recall some of the linkage ID's are wrong). In most respects the components themselves are a step up from the V2 components, but only a subset of the V2 components are represented. -Steve *Rich Rodecker* wrote: anyone out there have any experience with using the mCom component set from Metalliq?

Re: [Flashcoders] Variable trace Problem
using "this." within a function construct such as
siguiente_btn.onPress = function (){
if (this.contador<=this.cant)
{
means you are talking about the variables beloging to siguiente_btn not to
its parent.
if its located on the root u can do this:
siguiente_btn.onPress = function (){
if (_root.contador<=_root.cant)
{
or if you are within a movie and the button is attached to the movie and you
want to get the vaiables of the movie clip rather than the root use:
siguiente_btn.onPress = function (){
if (_parent.contador<=_parent.cant)
{
hope this helps,

I think one solution could be to refer to siguiente_btn attaching from the

;
nextBtn.onRelease = function()

RE: [Flashcoders] How to hide SWF Assets from Internet users
This is a problematic area for sure. It's technically impossible to completely protect the data in a swf from being cached and decompiled. If you do use the _url property, it is entirely possible for someone to decompile and rewrite the "viewer" swf to send back whatever they want instead of the _url property. With regard to the PHP script that was mentioned earlier: scripts like these that prevent caching may not work the same across different browsers and OS's. Also, they can be defeated with other tools. Essentially, if the bytes can get to your machine, they can be captured. You have to understand the level of risk involved and decide what lengths you wish to go in order to protect your data. It may be appropriate to use one of the methods suggested already, or it may be that something more robust is in order. Since we're talking about maps, I would think that you wouldn't need to go to great lengths to protect them (unless they are maps to buried treasure!). That said, Flash Player 9 will have the ability to load a swf over a socket into a ByteArray and then display it with Loader.loadBytes. This would be a pretty bullet-proof way to prevent the swf from being cached, and make it much more difficult to capture. But, you may not want to wait for Player 9. Present day, you could look at rendering the maps using the Drawing API - then you'd just be passing coordinates instead of whole swfs. But, that would take significant effort, and it sounds like it's pretty late in the game. -tom -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bieniasz, Myles Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 1:09 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] How to hide SWF Assets from Internet users One way is to use the _url property, which will point to the .swf's location on the file system, then just have each map check if it's residing at the proper url.

I wrote a map viewer application for my client, in which my viewer can load .swf Vector Maps from a predetermined directory on the server. >From within my viewer, the users can perform drill-down queries, by selecting contents of multiple dropdown boxes - State, Region, then Lake Name. Paid subscribers, have full access to their maps - but it's imperative that they can ONLY view these maps from within the viewer app. Since the Flash Map Viewer, needs to retrieve these maps from the server using a public URL (unless I am overlooking something), how can I hide these maps from the world - if the outside users are able to figure out which path to type into their browser, and snatch up maps?

Re: [Flashcoders] How to hide SWF Assets from Internet users
You could hold the swfs in a database (or in some datastore only accessible to the server), then serve out the swfs through Java or PHP (or any other serverside language). Authenticate each map request with a username / password in the query string. If you wanted to prevent that username / password from being seen (by people watching the line), use HTTPS.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash XML: Creating a CDATA text node?
escape() is for url encoding, which is not the same as xml encoding. Though it would work ok, since all the relevent XML special chars would be also escaped there. Flash's XML object does not support . When you load XML containing CDATA, it simply XML-encodes the contents. If XML-encoding is enough for you, you can do it like this: var rawText:String = "blah blah 1 < 2 & 2 > 1!"; var encodedText:XMLNode = new XMLNode(3, rawText); myXML.firstChild.appendChild(encodedText); Peter On 6/6/06, Marlon Harrison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Is using the escape() function out of the question for your application?

RE: [Flashcoders] How to hide SWF Assets from Internet users
As for the caching issue, here is a php script that I used on a recent site
that did the trick:
==
==
Say this is movieloader.php;
So in your flash movie, when loading external assets, use
myTarget.loadMovie("movieloader.php?filename=NameOfMovie.swf")
Im sure there are similar scripts in other server side languages that
perform the same function, just don't have em on hand.

Hello All,
I have an intense situation right now, and I must come up with an answer
ASAP.
I wrote a map viewer application for my client, in which my viewer can
load .swf Vector Maps from a predetermined directory on the server.
>From within my viewer, the users can perform drill-down queries, by
selecting contents of multiple dropdown boxes - State, Region, then Lake
Name. Paid subscribers, have full access to their maps - but it's

Since the Flash Map Viewer, needs to retrieve these maps from the server
using a public URL (unless I am overlooking something), how can I hide
these maps from the world - if the outside users are able to figure out
which path to type into their browser, and snatch up maps?
I know that server-side scripts, can access local resources - like
"D:\Documents", etc. - but once the Map Viewer is running from a Remote
Browser, how can I bury these maps under some type of file system that
is not directly accessible by the outside world (but only through the
Map Viewer app)???
Also, once the user views a particular map, how can I prevent the
map.swf file from being Cached on their hard drive?
If any of you could help me out regarding this, I'd be very
appreciative.
Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] How to hide SWF Assets from Internet users
I think, not sure, it is not possible to avoid having them cached. I think you could use some kind of server side app ( asp, php, jsp ) to retrieve the correct map name with loadvars or better with xml and the load the map into your loader, so nobody could see the url where it comes from and you could try to use sandbox security to manage restrictions from loading except from the samedomain 2006/6/7, Mike Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello All, I have an intense situation right now, and I must come up with an answer ASAP.

Re: [Flashcoders] reposition MC on release
if I understand it correctly, one way would be to use attachMovie like

this.endX = -500;
this.endY = -200;

};
}
Fine. But what if I want to move the AS out of the actual MC and onto the

try to draft a very simple skeleton and post back later on .. thanks
2006/6/7, Julien Vignali <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I would suggest to keep the loading of the parameter file simple and
create a ParameterFilesLoader class that would handle a queue of urls to
load in an array.
The class would eventually dispatch state events that your main class
would listen to, and show appropriate message to the user and handle the
state of your app.
Using mx.utils.Delegate and mx.events.EventDispatcher is a good practice
;) Ask me if you need some help building this stuff.

RE: [Flashcoders] Decoding xml text w/no CDATA allowed
Thanks Ryan, that's what I was looking for. So this must be a failing
of XFactorstudio's Xpath classes - and Flash's xml.parseXML() or
nodeValue does the decoding automatically? Or does anyone know a way to
get Xfactorstudios Xpath classes to decode entities?

[Flashcoders] remove haloGreen - haloBlue- haloOrange
Does anyone know of a quick way to disable (completely remove) the themeColor of a radio button component? The selected radio button deposits a green circle (I believe due to themeColor, such as haloGreen/etc) in subsequent frames. I need to get rid of the green circle residues.

Using mx.utils.Delegate and mx.events.EventDispatcher is a good practice

Re: [Flashcoders] How do real developers do key handling?
Ian,
That does help, (alot actually). I'm still an oo newb so, I really appreicate
the help and the simple-approach sample code. I wasn't sure how to deal with
the lack of hashMap.
Thanks everyone for help with this, I greatly appreciate it. I'll take a stab
at converting the java to AS 2.0... and may be back with more noob questions on
the conversion.

Re: [Flashcoders] FlashVars + OOP, Best Practices?
Oops, I didn't read your full article. You solve those problems with
your extend
FlashVars suggestion! Singleton still doesn't make sense in this situation.
If you make the class a static that automatically parses _level0 you'll be
set (FlashVars will never be found anywhere but _level0 and they'll be
available right from the beginning. I know there are some who will want to
argue that this is a dependency but that could be similar to arguing that
the MovieClip is a dependency -- it's a documented and supported feature)

The reason you would abstract the FlashVars is to 1) avoid naming
conflicts and 2) to make changes as easy as possible -- all in one place.
With the dynamic Singleton if the naming of the specific FlashVars change
you still have to search through all of your code and update those
references. If, however, your main Application class (specific to your app)
should take those variables and store them by some application-specific
name, you now have a single place for all of your classes to access and one
place to make changes should a backend developer decide mid-project to mix
things up. Singleton or any class are instantly useless as soon as they
perform exactly as an anonymous object (usually involving dynamic and
resolve). I agree that FlashVars should be limited to receiving config
information only at which point an application can gather further
information if needed.
It needs to make sense, not just seem more correct. OOP is a tool for
change and reuse of code. It was never meant to be something for blind
faith.
The suggestions I have for your current class:
1) create a hash table coded to the specific FlashVar class for your
particular app. It should have the FlashVar name as well as a reserved name
given for application use. These can be the same, but if the FlashVar name
were to change it could be updated here and the application would continue
using the value by the app name.
ex.
var hashVars =
{
fv_url:"baseURL",
fv_uid:"userID"
}
2) (what you've got with naming convention is really good, good standard
to have, so this is just an alternative, not a better way) have the class
initiate from a static constructor (so it will happen before frame1 and
before everything really gets going). At this point you can scrub _level0
for each var in your hash table (everything that isn't a MovieClip,
TextField, Button, or the $version property will be a FlashVars). You can
then store them and delete them from _level0 promptly. This will help your
class not be dependant on an arbritrary naming convention.

class not be dependant on an arbritrary naming convention.

Well. In this case I prefer it used as a singleton - don't know why
really, but it just seems more correct to me.

But it's private anyways. Is made to be used by subclasses.

That would require more code, and the ability to overturn dynamicness
through inheritance makes this seem preferable to me.
And I actually find the relationship as being an "is a" - as the
settingsclass would be used only for FlashVars-variables. Other settings
(read from XML and more) could of course be read in as well, in which
case composition would be preferable.
But I do follow your concerns on all three matters.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamically loading an SWF into a movie
Thanks for your prompt reply, Dan! The "downsampled" piece is here: http://www.elizabethjochum.com/mockups/preloader/preloader.swf It's very subtle, but it's definitely not good enough to show off the work featured. I'll be trying in your suggestions tonight. Thanks, J Message: 3 Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2006 11:27:24 +0100 From: Dan Efergan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamically loading an SWF into a movie clip To: Flashcoders mailing list Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Hi John, Have you sorted this yet? Someone else here might have a better clue of what's going on, but as there's no posts yet... Your code samples don't include enough to work out the low res picture example (have you got an online example of that happening?) or do not include the button code (are they applied from the root or directly to the buttons?). But at a guess all of these issues seem to be based on timings and when various things are being initiated... I'm guessing this because moving the code around/ adding a preloader seem to effect the final output. Why not try, continuing with the external preloader. Then adding a number of traces on the buttons to confirm when they are coming into existence using clipEvent or similar. Then work back from that using similar traces to make such functions are available, and movieClips needed for those functions etc... It usually ends up being something simple like a missing stop() at the movie beginning, or functions initiating before assets are available.

Re: [Flashcoders] callBack for Beginners ?
I would suggest to keep the loading of the parameter file simple and
create a ParameterFilesLoader class that would handle a queue of urls to
load in an array.
The class would eventually dispatch state events that your main class
would listen to, and show appropriate message to the user and handle the
state of your app.
Using mx.utils.Delegate and mx.events.EventDispatcher is a good practice
;) Ask me if you need some help building this stuff.

[Flashcoders] Movie clip accessibility
HI,
I am facing a problem with accessibility of my application.
I have a movie clip on stage. It's accessibility name is "movie Clip 1" and
it has a simple code on press event of it.
This works fine.
But when I load an image on it:
mc1.loadMovie("cat.jpg");
Screen reader reads it as unlabeled button.
Can anyone tell me why it's taking it as unlabled?(I am using jaws 7.0)
Thanks...

If you are on windows, you can install Tortoise SVN and checkout the FFMPEG code from here: svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg This is command, which you can execute from command prompt I just tested and it works.

RE: [Flashcoders] callBack for Beginners ?
Is your reading/processing mechanism the same for all XML files?
A good approach would be to create a buffer queque with an Array. you push()
in all the files you need to read,
then pop out one after another and process it. When the last file was
processed and the buffer is empty, start your App.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamically loading an SWF into a movie clip
Hi John, Have you sorted this yet? Someone else here might have a better clue of what's going on, but as there's no posts yet... Your code samples don't include enough to work out the low res picture example (have you got an online example of that happening?) or do not include the button code (are they applied from the root or directly to the buttons?). But at a guess all of these issues seem to be based on timings and when various things are being initiated... I'm guessing this because moving the code around/ adding a preloader seem to effect the final output. Why not try, continuing with the external preloader. Then adding a number of traces on the buttons to confirm when they are coming into existence using clipEvent or similar. Then work back from that using similar traces to make such functions are available, and movieClips needed for those functions etc... It usually ends up being something simple like a missing stop() at the movie beginning, or functions initiating before assets are available.

[Flashcoders] Custom RectBorder breaks components background color
Hi there,
I made a custom RectBorder class (in fact it does nothing, it uses a
MovieClip). The borders are drawn as intended but it has a side effect: all
components backgrounds (except List and Tree!) become white whereas I set them
to another color.
This is how I set the background color (works when I use the default RectBorder
but not with mine):
_global.style.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xFF);
_global.styles.TextInput.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xFF);
_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xFF); // this
one always works
And my RectBorder class:
import mx.core.ext.UIObjectExtensions;
class guiTools.skins.RectBorder extends mx.skins.RectBorder
{
static var symbolName:String = "RectBorder";
static var symbolOwner:Object = RectBorder;
var className:String = "RectBorder";
// all of these borders have the same size edges, one pixel
var offset:Number = 1;
function init(Void):Void
{
super.init();
}
function drawBorder(Void):Void
{
// the graphics are on the symbols Timeline,
// so all you need to do here is size the border
_width = __width;
_height = __height;
}
// register ourselves as the RectBorder for all components to use
static function classConstruct():Boolean
{
UIObjectExtensions.Extensions();
_global.styles.rectBorderClass = RectBorder;
_global.skinRegistry["RectBorder"] = true;
return true;
}
static var classConstructed:Boolean = classConstruct();
static var UIObjectExtensionsDependency = UIObjectExtensions;
}
Did I miss something here ?
Thanks,
Benjamin.

Re: [Flashcoders] How do real developers do key handling?
You don't need any special hash class for this; since you're using
string keys, you can simply use the Object class, like so:
class ChannelInput {
private handlerMap:Object = null;
function ChannelInput() {
handlerMap = new Object();
}
public function addKey(key:String, handler:KeyHandler):Void {
handlerMap[key]=handler;
}
public function processKey(key:String):Void {
var handler:KeyHandler = KeyHandler(handlerMap[key]);
if (handler == undefined) {
trace("ERROR: undefined handler for key \"" + key + "\"");
} else {
handler.handleKey(key);
}
}
