[Aaron Hedquist]

Yes, that's exactly the problem. Found the TechNote, for future  
reference. Thanks, Claus.

Hello,
I have a node that is being parsed by Flash, then used as a .url  
text link. However the link that opens up once you export the  
flash is being trimmed after 128 characters (it's about 151  
characters). Is there any inherit limit to a node or a link in  
Flash? Using AS 2.0. I can look at the XML source, and it shows  
the full link, but I click on the same link in Flash, and it just  
stops after 128 characters... ?1

Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] File upload : getting Flash to know the new name

[Rich Rodecker]

as far as I've seen there's no way to return any values from a file upload.
There was something I saw where you could return different HTTP header codes
back to flash to get some sort of control over what was sent back, but even
that still wouldnt send back any data.

jeroen's suggestion might work, or if you have a lot of data maybe you can
even save a text file to the server and read that in after the onComplete.

Hi Serge,

Maybe store the new name into the $_SESSION and request it when the

Or am I mis-understanding the situation?

RE: [Flashcoders] Singleton not always Singleton?

[Mike Keesey]

PET PEEVE ALERT

class com.shell.util.IntroAnimProxy

Unless you are actually doing Shell Petroleum's website at
http://shell.com, this isn't a proper name for the package. The "com"
convention is a strategy to keep package paths from overlapping on
different projects: if you're doing a website, you take the domain and
reverse it--voila, you have a path that nobody else will ever use, and
you don't ever have to worry about conflicts. (Assuming everyone sticks
by the convention, of course.)

I've even seen people make classes like "com.MyClass", as if "com" stood
for "component" or something. (It stands for "commercial".)

If you're not working on a website project, then you have a couple of
options:

1) Make a new package for the project in your own domain's package.
(e.g., "net.mywebsite.mynewproject") or your client's domain package.
Even if it's not going on the web, you can still guarantee it won't
conflict with any other packages.

2) Make a package that doesn't start with any top-level domain strings
("com", "org", "net", country codes, etc.)

I'll own that in this instance you'll only really have a problem if,
some day, you *do* work on http://shell.com, but still

(And if this *is* for Shell Petroleum, then I'll shut up now.)

May be triin with something like this :

 public static function get instance():IntroAnimProxy

I have the power of Greyskull.  Block comments are for commenting out
*gasp* blocks of code.  I use block comments all the time for that very

though, so that anyone can comment out blocks without issue.

That's a tomayto tomahto thing.  I can read code just fine either way.

It's never cool to be willfully ignorant.  And while it is all fake,
it's not like it doesn't hurt getting slammed to the floor or doesn't
require a level of athleticism and endurance.  It might be a show, but
it takes a lot of work to put on that show and I'm sure there are real
injuries.

Re: [Flashcoders] clone object

[Jim Kremens]

"I'm using this to clone data objects.  If you put circular references in
your data models that's not my problem.  :)
"
Then you might consider renaming the method 'cloneDataObject' or
'cloneDataObjectThatDoesntContainCircularReference'

:-)

RE: [Flashcoders] Webservices and .NET array serialization

[Merrill, Jason]

>>However, there is no way to
>>get the name/value pairs(the data in the array).

Actually Stephen, I think what you're asking about is different than what I'm 
asking about. I can access the data in the .NET object array just fine, it's 
just that referencing the array object directly returns undefined, which is 
quite odd.

This is my issue:

trace(myNETWebserviceObject.mySubObject.MyArray[0]) //traces "hello world"
trace(myNETWebserviceObject.mySubObject.MyArray) //traces undefined  !?

this is after I verified I have loaded the webservice and the method result 
returns the object.  On your end, I think it's the way the Object is being 
created in C#.  Are you sure the C# object is a public variable?

[Flashcoders] Flash mini-site architecture

[slangeberg]

Just wondering if anyone has suggestions of a framework, or architecture to
create mini-sites in Flash?

i.e. site navigation, multiple levels / pages.

My goals would be high level of flexibility for content updates / navigation
changes.

I've really given myself headaches in this area before, but now I'm starting
one fresh for a big client. Any leads appreciated!

I need to check the status of "ns" to see if it is playing or paused

Fuse.pauseAll(); else if the state is "pause" the Fuse.playAll();

I'm having trouble finding a starting place. Can someone point me in

RE: [Flashcoders] Webservices and .NET array serialization

[Brake, Stephen]

//array declaration
var ds:Array = new Array();

//push data to array
ds.push({TranNum: "value1", TranNum2: "another value});
ds.push({TranNum: "value2", TranNum2: "yet another value});

//send array to .net web service
var Post_ws:mx.services.WebService;
var PostWsCall:mx.services.PendingCall;
Post_ws=new mx.services.WebService("https://somedotcomaddress 
/Portal.asmx?wsdl");

PostWsCall=Post_ws.PostIt(ds);

In the .net web service, the length of the array can properly be seen to be 
2(in this case since two push commands were issued).  However, there is no way 
to get the name/value pairs(the data in the array).

Why - that's the $1,000,000.00 question.

Yeah, I don't know that I'd push a snake either.  slice a snake perhaps. :-P

He probably meant to assign the snake var inside of the switch statement 
instead of push both inside the switch and again after it.  I'd probably 
also move the quotes assignment to the constructor so it isn't 
reassigned with every reciteCheesyLine() call.


Either way, compile or no compile, it was very funny. Thanks for the

[Flashcoders] Safari Browser in not showing embedded SWF

[Swapnil Dubey]

Hi all,

 

I am facing some strange issue. I am using a piece of code to load a SWF
into movie clip.

 

on(release) {

abc = _root.swap.createEmptyMovieClip("swfHolder_mc", 1);

this.swfHolder_mc.loadMovie("trip.swf");

}

 

Its working fine when I open the SWF exported in Flash Player or IE. But
not when I open it in Safari.

Both the SWF ie. exported SWF and loaded SWF are at the same level. Can
anybody help me out.

 

Thanks & Regards

Swapnil

Re: [Flashcoders] Singleton not always Singleton?

[Andrés González & Aragón]

The problem i can see is tha in the singleton pattern constructor must be
private.

May be triin with something like this :



class com.shell.util.IntroAnimProxy
{
private static var _instance:IntroAnimProxy;
public static function get instance():IntroAnimProxy
{
 if( _instance == null ) _instance = new IntroAnimProxy();
 return _instance;
}
private function IntroAnimProxy()
{
 trace("IntroAnimProxy");
}
}




2006/8/25, Adrian Park <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hey all!

I'm using a class (AnimationProxy) based on the Singleton pattern to form
a
bridge between a timeline based intro animation (sigh) and the application
objects (it's not strictly an intro because, when the intro is complete,
the
animation continues in the background whilst the rest of the site is
rendered over the top). The animation is a standalone .swf loaded into the
main .swf at runtime. It (the animation) has the AnimationProxy imported,
registers a reference to itself with AnimationProxy and sends various
events
to AnimationProxy. The main application objects register as event
listeners
of AnimationProxy and respond to the events triggered by the animation.
Well, that's how it's supposed to work!

Thing is (and you may have seen the flaw already), I now discover that a
unique instance of AnimationProxy is created by each of the intro and main
.swfs! I'm fairly confident my implementation of Singleton is fine since
it's the same implementation I've used several times.

Two questions then...

It kind of makes sense to me that each .swf maintains it's own object
space
(for want of a better term) and therefore it is expected that they would
each end up with unique instances of AnimationProxy. Can someone give me a
fuller explanation of why each .swf gets a unique instance?

Can anyone suggest a better solution?

I've included the code that constitutes the Singleton implemention below.

Thanks
Adrian

class com.shell.util.IntroAnimProxy {
   // Singleton instance
   private static var _instance:IntroAnimProxy;

   public function IntroAnimProxy () {}

   public static function getInstance():IntroAnimProxy {
   if ( IntroAnimProxy._instance == undefined ) {
   IntroAnimProxy._instance = new IntroAnimProxy();
   }
   return IntroAnimProxy._instance;
   }
}

Re: [Flashcoders]Performance issue

[Serge]

1. You don't need to remove movieclips - just reuse them, if you mean 
falling objects

(it is easy and would remove source of potential memory leak)
(otherwise, delete listeners in mc first, and then mc.removeMovieClip() - 
there was a good article I don't remember the name)


2. Check the loop in a "boy" object separately - it could slow down with 
"age" as well

RE: [Flashcoders] OT: Create a text file on server using PHPwithvariables from Flash

[Paul Steven]

Thanks - seems to be working now - may have been a cache problem.

However I have attempted to now write more than one variable to the text
file and it only appears to be writing the first one.

Here is my PHP code



Any ideas why the second variable is not getting written?


This is my action script

var vSender = new LoadVars();
var vReceiver = new LoadVars();


vSender.text1_Font = text1_Font;
vSender.text1_Size = text1_Size;

vSender.action = "write";
vSender.filename = "order2.txt";


vReceiver.onLoad = function(success) {

trace ("onLoad function");

if (success) {
trace("text writen to the text file:\n" +
this.message);
content_txt.text = this.message;
} else {
trace("error");
content_txt.text = "error";
}
};



vSender.sendAndLoad("http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/clients/davehann/testpost
.php", vReceiver, "POST");

Thanks

Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] OOP methodology and flash. I'm loosing my faith...

[Scott Hyndman]

yes, you are. If you read the first two paragraphs of the wikipedia
article you'd see it has nothing to do with multiple inheritance.

It has to do with multiple objects (poly) being contrained by the same
interface (form, morph), whether the interface is quite literally an
interface, or whether it is an interface determined by a parent class.

Scott

well, I get Interfaces, but thanks for explaining :).

I just don't think actionscript, or java, has any polymorphism,
since the definition of that is, in my opinion, a class having more
than one parent class (ie, can extend 2 or more classes), which
isn't the case. So I don't understand why people who are explaining
oop in actionscript talk about polymorphism, because it just
isn't there :), but perhaps I'm wrong.

cheers,

Re: [Flashcoders] question on localConnection

[John Grden]

40k limit

if you know you're going to be breaking that, consider using an Object2XML
converter, do a toString on the XML, break it up into 5k chunks and put
those chunks into an array.  Then loop the array and send each chunk across
with a boolean that indicates that the last batch has been sent.  THen, on
the other end, store the chunks in an array until you get "lastBatch=true"
and paste it all together as a string and assign it to a new XML object.
Convert back to Object if need.

this kinda shows you what I mean:

RE: [Flashcoders] question on localConnection

[Sinead Hogan]

It drove me nuts when testing a local connection issue once to realise
that after opening my test page with swfs using local connection once,
any page I opened after that would communicate to the first page's swfs.
So when testing your local connection issues make sure to close all
other instances of swfs using the same local connection.

I think that the mixture of prototype based and class based OOP is really 
interesting. I think prototype based object orientated languages (such as 
AS1.0 and JavaScript) are really pretty cool and you can do amazing things 
with them.


I read somewhere (sorry can't find link but it was on sitepoint.com written 
by Harry Fuecks)  that one of the leading technical directors at google had 
produced a patterns book with most of the important patterns completely 
rewritten for prototype OO languages and many of them were far simpler and 
much less code.


of course there is always the trade off with any dynamic language - the 
less errors can be caught at 'compile time' the more you have to test the 
code using 'unit testing' at run time.


I take any comments like 'AS2 is crap' or 'PHP is crap' or whatever with a 
huge pinch of salt. Ask them 'Do you think people at Macromedia/Adobe don't 
know what they're doing?' usually these people have a computer science 
degree from Wolverhampton Poly or somesuch and couldn't get a job at Adobe 
or Macromedia if they promised to work for nothing and give foot massages 
to all the other developers whilst compiling.

an example of multiple inheritence would be Spock from star trek

Spock is a human

and

Spock is a vulcan

in C++ you can have multiple inheritence and so you can satisfy both
conditions. but it causes billions of confusing problems, not least of
which being the diamond problem

http://www.javaworld.com/jw-12-1998/jw-12-techniques.html


indeed you are correct because Java's interface type is designed to
overcome the problem of multiple inheritence. so with java and AS2 you can
have Spock be a vulcan when you need so cold hard rationalism, and have
Spock be a human when you need him to give you a hug.

When it comes to OOP and Flash I think an individuals opinion comes from
their knowledge of OOP. Those that have used it swear by it and vice versa.
This is pretty much how it is with everything. I remember at the release of

saying that AS2 was crap and not to use it. I wonder how well that worked

you have, you get a different response. This is polymorphism, it isn't 
Multiple Inheritance


an example of multiple inheritence would be Spock from star trek

Spock is a human

and

Spock is a vulcan

in C++ you can have multiple inheritence and so you can satisfy both 
conditions. but it causes billions of confusing problems, not least of 
which being the diamond problem


http://www.javaworld.com/jw-12-1998/jw-12-techniques.html


indeed you are correct because Java's interface type is designed to 
overcome the problem of multiple inheritence. so with java and AS2 you can 
have Spock be a vulcan when you need so cold hard rationalism, and have 
Spock be a human when you need him to give you a hug.

Re: [Flashcoders] OOP methodology and flash. I'm loosing my faith...

That's really not what polymorphism is.

Polymorphism is where an Object can be used anywhere where an instance its
class's parent is supposed to be used.

And it has a lot of applications.

Re: [Flashcoders] clone object

[John Grden]

Guess there's a first time for everything, eh?

var obj = new Object();
obj.prop1 = new Object();
obj.prop1.prop2 = new Object();
obj.prop1.prop2.ref = obj.prop1;

function clone(obj:Object):Object
{
   var o = (null != obj.length) ? [] : {};
   for (var i in obj)
   {
   o [i] = (typeof obj[i] == "object") ? clone(obj[i]) :
   obj[i];
   }
   return o;
}

256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.
This is probably an infinite loop.
Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.

[Flashcoders] OOP methodology and flash. I'm loosing my faith...

[Steve Krichten]

It sounds like you are confusing polymorphism with multiple 
inheritance.  ActionScript and Java and pretty much any OOP language do 
allow for polymorphism.

Re: [Flashcoders] clone object

[John Grden]

Xray's trace used this method Scott and it's worked well.

my only issue was that adding a property to an object might cause some
"issue" or "bug" with someone's app.  However, to this day, it's not caused
any problems that I'm aware of ;)

I liked Keith's way of doing it, because I was able to send different levels
of recursion for different types of objects.  If I send in a MovieClip, can
just have it do 2-3 levels deep and htat's usually enough.  But for a true
object/array, I'll let it go at 254 or whatever.  This will be, btw,
configurable at runtime with Xray's interface.

On 8/24/06, Scott Hyndman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


I would mark each object (by actually assigning the cloned object as a
property of the original) as I go through each individual clone
operation, and keep a running array of what is being marked. If I hit
something that is already marked, I will use the clone instead of
copying the same object again (because it's hanging off the original).
When I'm finished, I'd remove all the temporary properties from the
originals.

This requires two method instead of one, and is a bit more CPU
intensive, but it won't break.

I'd also be sure to special case the handling of date objects.

The alternative is to shallow clone, which does not recursively copy
object properties, and instead assigns the reference held by the
original to the clone.

Re: [Flashcoders] clone object

[John Grden]

you'd need some way of checking for circular references like Scott pointed
out.  Believe me when I say - i've been down that road several times with
Xray.

var obj = new Object();
obj.prop1 = new Object();
obj.prop1.prop2 = new Object();
obj.prop1.prop2.ref = obj.prop1;

bingo, you'e into 256 levels of recursion error.  And no, it's not far
fetched ;)

alternative:
Keith Peters Debug:
http://mirror1.cvsdude.com/trac/osflash/xray/browser/DEV_Source/xray/classes/com/bit101/Debug.as

I switched out xray's trace for Keiths just a couple of weeks ago because it
worked on a per level basis for dispatching traces (rather than on big bulk
of data) and it's really clean/readable code.

You could alter it in no time to "clone" and object.  However,
mx.utils.ObjectCopy would work just fine ;)

I had a similar problem with the camera security dialog box and Zinc. My 
app was actually a kiosk, and my workaround was quite long winded - but it 
might give you some ideas.


First I should mention that checking the 'remember my settings' box in the 
security dialog never worked for me (apparently it's a bug in Zinc), so 
this is what I had to do:


On starting my Zinc application, I launched a macro program (Macro 
Express - http://www.macros.com/) to move the cursor and 'click' the Allow 
button. This worked great for a kiosk with an automated startup procedure.


I don't know if this will be of any help, but I thought I'd post it 
anyway.

Users of an application I made with Flash 8 & Zinc get this warning

when they first run the executable.

I know this is because my app saves some files on the hard drive.
The question is, is there any way to prevent this window from popping up?
The publisher of the application asked me to see if I can do anything 
about this.


So, can I?

Thanks a lot!

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with putting image in flash blog

[Tom Shaw]

Ok firstly you need to do this in stages.

1) Load your meta data from the web server.  This includes the url, width and 
height of you image. Put all this data into a container MC as variables or 
objects, or whatever you want to store them as.  A nice class would be good 
here.
3) Create new movieclips inside the container MC.  titlea, imagea and texta for 
example.  Set the title.
4) Since you know the position of your title and the position of your image, 
arrange imagea and texta according to those positions.
5) Load your image into the placeholder, add some sort of preloader.

Im not going to delve through your code to figure this out for you but thos 
esteps should make it easy to work it out.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Tom

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Create a text file on server using PHP with variables from Flash

[James]

Often these things are related to the string you are using for pathname, 
have you echo'd (printed) it to screen and checked? perhaps you missed off 
the leading / for example?

Tack on phpinfo() at the end of the script.
It's possible PHP is trying to create the file where you do not have 
permission to do so, you may have to build up the path from docroot.

Re: [Flashcoders] OOP methodology and flash. I'm loosing my faith...

[James]

they are different, as far as I know

an interface, as in 'Interface' type does not itself have an 
implementation, whereas a subclass which displays polymorphism does, the 
difference comes from your design needs, for example:


(polymorphism)
class animal - can be a implemented class with it's own methods
class dog - is a subclass of animal which alters/extends animal
class cat - is a subclass of animal which alters/extands animal in a 
different way to dog


so in certain circumstances you may only need to instance and call methods 
in 'animal', when you don't care what it is but just need an animal type.


with Interfaces the 'interface' type is not a implemented object, it does 
not have it's own implemented methods


so an example might be if you owned a sports shop that sold coats and 
bicycles, coat and bicycle are not the same type but if you get them to use 
the 'stock control item' interface they are both 'stock control item' 
objects if you need them to be, providing you follow the rules for that 
particular interface you can make any object a 'stock control item' but 
there is no generic 'stock control item' type.


see it is different. you have to see things 'arse-ways-backwards' sometimes 
- at first I did not understand the point of interfaces, since the objects 
implementing them have to implement the actual working methods anyway but 
OOP is about creating a long-term collection of reusable objects which may 
be used by teams of coders, structures like interfaces make for a clean and 
clear architecture that other coders can quikly understand, and give a well 
defined way to extend a system.

Subject: [Flashcoders] OT: Create a text file on server using PHP 
withvariables from Flash




Anyone have a working example of a PHP script to create a text file using
PHP?

I am trying to get the following to work but it is not creating the text
file on my server. I have set the permissions of the folder to 777 which
should in theory allow a file to be created.

Thanks

Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] OOP methodology and flash. I'm loosing my faith...

[Zárate]

Ricardo don't lose the faith! Ever! Sorry, I didn't see this post before : )

I'm using OOP Flash everyday, and yes, sometimes if makes you feel
stupid, but it's a matter of keep going until you feel comfortable.

Then, I have cristal clear that I'm not going to get mad with
patterns. Someone (sorry, don't remember who) said something like:
"you don't need patterns if you don't feel you need them". Maybe
you're not using *all* patterns because you simply don't need them.
Why overdesign?

I use pseudo-MVCs in almost every application, but I'm fairly sure
they are not strict MVCs. I don't care, to be honest. They do the
work, which is nothing else but help me.

Cheers and keep the good work!

Bye!

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Create a text file on server using PHP with variables from Flash

[Miles Thompson]

Paul,

What is error reporting set at? What errors are you receiving?
Tack on phpinfo() at the end of the script.
It's possible PHP is trying to create the file where you do not have 
permission to do so, you may have to build up the path from docroot.

Re: [FlashCoders] Local storage warning

[Mike Cobb]

-

I had a similar problem with the camera security dialog box and Zinc. My 
app was actually a kiosk, and my workaround was quite long winded - but 
it might give you some ideas.


First I should mention that checking the 'remember my settings' box in 
the security dialog never worked for me (apparently it's a bug in Zinc), 
so this is what I had to do:


On starting my Zinc application, I launched a macro program (Macro 
Express - http://www.macros.com/) to move the cursor and 'click' the 
Allow button. This worked great for a kiosk with an automated startup 
procedure.


I don't know if this will be of any help, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Hello,

I have this very very urgent issue!

Users of an application I made with Flash 8 & Zinc get this warning screen: 
http://www.zefxis.gr/files/warning.jpg
when they first run the executable.

I know this is because my app saves some files on the hard drive.
The question is, is there any way to prevent this window from popping up?
The publisher of the application asked me to see if I can do anything about 
this.

So, can I?

Thanks a lot!

Re: [Flashcoders] Best books about design

[Brian Mays]

Great minds think alike :-)
Their Interactive Annuals have a good deal of Flash in them.   And 
there's some analysis as to why they chose what they chose to get into 
the annuals.

Re: [Flashcoders] OOP methodology and flash. I'm loosing my faith...

[Ron Wheeler]

Almost all of the examples of coding on Macromedia are OOP.

If you download any of the open source code in the 
http://www.osflash.org/ site, you will find nicely written, peer 
reviewed code written in Actionscript. For dozens of examples, download 
ActionStep.


It is easy for everyone, some people just look at the glass as half empty.

It does not supplant common sense or remove the need to think about what 
you are doing.

I get a listing of all packages that Macromedia's written, instead of

And best yet, when I type:

var sBigD:ScottsSuperHugeOne = new SuperHuge();  //just a little

and I type:

I get a list of every function in my class, as well as its signature

RE: [Flashcoders] Protect model setters from being called by any classexcept Controller

[Karina Steffens]

Hi Steven,

You could try using arguments.caller to check if the setter was called by
the controller. Here's a little test function I whipped up on the _root:

function testCaller(){
trace (typeof arguments.caller)
trace (arguments.caller == controller.test)
trace (arguments.caller == notcontroller.test)
}

controller = new Object();
controller.test = function (){  
_root.testCaller()
}
notcontroller = new Object();
notcontroller.test = function (){   
_root.testCaller()
}

The output is:
function
true
false
function
false
true

This gives you a way to check if the function was called from the controller
or the notcontroller. 
The downside is that this checks for a specific function within a
controller, not just any controller function. I wonder if there's a way
around it?

Karina

This is 100% no cuss, but hop into flash newbie and ask these questions
there. I am even going to ask questions first in there as I know this is a

Ontop of this it also helps the others in the flash newbie list, and you

[Flashcoders] jsfl - set all bitmaps in library to photo compression

[Tor.Kristensen]

I had a project recently that was originally developed as a CDROM by a
3rd party, but then had to be migrated to the web. Many of the lib items
(1000's of items) had been set with specific compression values or
Lossless. This ended up with a >60MB swf file. Ick.

So I brewed up this little JSFL that sets all bitmaps in the library to
document level "photo"/jpeg compression. 

Hope this helps anyone who has or will have a similar headache.

RE: [Flashcoders] clone object

[Karina Steffens]

That's true - it happens to me all the time when I use _global(tt) with Xray
and have a circular reference (such as two classes that hold eachother as
listeners). 
This was why John had to change his original treeview parser to a
non-recursive method. But it still happens with the trace function. So I'd
say that some kind of check would be useful.

Re: [Flashcoders] OOP methodology and flash. I'm loosing my faith...

[Ricardo Sánchez]

Ok, I see its not so easy for everyone. Can anyone point out some
tutorial-like examples on internet or books. I know a lot of theory
(inheritance, polymorphism...) but I would like to see more applications for
it so I can be more confident when I use it.

In addition, I write my classes in FlashDevelop, which gives you code
completion. Which means when I start to type:

I get a listing of all packages that Macromedia's written, instead of
looking for stuff in the help (that's fun).

And best yet, when I type:

var sBigD:ScottsSuperHugeOne = new SuperHuge();  //just a little
poly-morphism thrown in there (huck-huck) ;)

and I type:

> sBigD.

I get a list of every function in my class, as well as its signature
(params
& types).

I'm only talking about FlashDevelop here. Guess I'm spoiled by Java & .NET
which have instance access to API's at your finger tips (when in the right
IDE's).

I'm just trying to find a better and efficient way to go. Way open to
suggestions!

Re: [Flashcoders] flip pages in as2 or the like

[Matthias Dittgen]

Thank you, Jordan!

I am coding an AS2 pageflip class right now, which works as needed for
our current project and I am follwing the O'Reilly article from Sham
Bhangal, which is really excellent. I am making big steps forward a
reusable solution in pure code.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tabbing and Components (again) ...

[John VanHorn]

i had this problem a while back and was able to solve it...but i cant
remeber exactly what i did.

i think i had to set focusManger to false on every onKillFocus event. so if
you had 1 combo box and two input text fields, you would need to write, for
every component and text field:

instanceName.onKillFocus = function():Void{
_root.focusManager.enabled = false;
}

also, for the next project i worked on, I used the mCom components (
http://www.metaliq.com/mcom/)  and found that
they dont suffer from this problem at all.


On 8/24/06, Stephen Ford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


Hi,

I have a flash application that has a couple of combo box components and a
couple of text fields.

Trying to tab between my text fields doesn't work, even though they are
all tab enabled and have tab indexes.

The reason for this, I have recently found out, is due to the combo box
component - it breaks the tabbing.

The workaround for this is to include the following line (after the first
frame in my movie):

_level0.focusManager.enabled = false;

This works, HOWEVER, as soon as you choose something from the combo box,
the tabbing is broken again ???

Any anyone assist with what is going on here and if there is a fix.

[Flashcoders] Problem with putting image in flash blog

[mArsmAn]

I'm making a blog in flash with amfPHP. And till now everything went well.
I get all the data in the database from flash and I can loop through
de object I get back from amfPHP, I put everything in a text field
that renders as html.
But know I wanted to submit pictures with a post.
I made an upload interface that puts a string off the filename in my
DB so I can load it when I read my DB and the image is resized with a
php script.

My first idea was just using an img tag in my html string, but  after
some trying I noticed that this was very buggy with big images. There
was no way to find out if the image was loaded(if someone knows?) so I
coudn't get the image height what I really need when I want to use the
img tag or my text gets behind my picture and I can't position the
next posts  ._y.
So I tried to put the image height in my DB when I resize the picture
with PHP but with big images (+800+600) this is not reliable.
Than I tought I could do it with 2 textfields and a movieclip where I
put my image in.
So I have a textfield for my title under it my picture and than my text body.
I tried to make a listener that loads my image into the movieclip and
when I have my height I call a function that put the body text under
it.
But thats my big problem when I loop through all the data and I create
my listener object I can't pass variables to the function that do the
rest. So I can't know what ID the post have.
I put my code here so it's a little easier to understand what I want to say.

function showPost(re,IDmin)
{
var mcl:MovieClipLoader=new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object=new Object();

//reset Heights
readMessageHeight =0;
totalHeight = 0;
postHeight = 0;

if(IDmin == undefined){
IDmin = 0;
IDmax = 5;
}else{
IDmax = IDmin+1;
}

var blogItem = _root.readMessages.createEmptyMovieClip("blogItem", 
3400);

for(var s = IDmin; s < IDmax; s++)
{   
var post = re.result.getItemAt(s);

var txtHolder =
_root.readMessages.blogItem.createEmptyMovieClip("txtHolder"+s,
3500+s);
txtHolder.ID = s;

//I make a title textfield and put the text in it
/
var blogTitle =
txtHolder.createTextField("txtBlogTitle"+s,this.getNextHighestDepth(),0,
0+postHeight ,312,10);
txtHolder["txtBlogTitle"+s].html = true;
txtHolder["txtBlogTitle"+s].wordWrap = true;
txtHolder["txtBlogTitle"+s].multiline = true;
txtHolder["txtBlogTitle"+s].styleSheet = styles;
txtHolder["txtBlogTitle"+s].autoSize = true;
var htmlTitleTxt:String  = '' +
' '+ post.id + " - 
" + post.title + ' (' +
post.date.substr(0,10) + ')' +
'. . . . . . . 
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .' +
'';
txtHolder["txtBlogTitle"+s].htmlText = htmlTitleTxt;

var titleHeight = txtHolder["txtBlogTitle"+s]._height;

//I put the image under it
///
var imgMC = txtHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("imgMC"+s, 4500+s);

mcl.loadClip("files/tn_"+post.image,imgMC);

myListener.onLoadInit=function(evtObj,re){
var imageHeight = evtObj._height;
//I try to give the id but this is not working post.id 
gives undefined
doRest(imageHeight,post.id);
postHeight += titleHeight+imageHeight;
}
mcl.addListener(myListener);

txtHolder["imgMC"+s]._y = 30+postHeight;


}

//resizePage();
};

If anyone can help me with this. It's now the 3th day in a row I'm
trying to find a working solution. If someone knows a way I can still
use the img tag it would be great.

Best regards
Maarten

[Flashcoders] Singleton not always Singleton?

[Adrian Park]

Hey all!

I'm using a class (AnimationProxy) based on the Singleton pattern to form a
bridge between a timeline based intro animation (sigh) and the application
objects (it's not strictly an intro because, when the intro is complete, the
animation continues in the background whilst the rest of the site is
rendered over the top). The animation is a standalone .swf loaded into the
main .swf at runtime. It (the animation) has the AnimationProxy imported,
registers a reference to itself with AnimationProxy and sends various events
to AnimationProxy. The main application objects register as event listeners
of AnimationProxy and respond to the events triggered by the animation.
Well, that's how it's supposed to work!

Thing is (and you may have seen the flaw already), I now discover that a
unique instance of AnimationProxy is created by each of the intro and main
.swfs! I'm fairly confident my implementation of Singleton is fine since
it's the same implementation I've used several times.

Two questions then...

It kind of makes sense to me that each .swf maintains it's own object space
(for want of a better term) and therefore it is expected that they would
each end up with unique instances of AnimationProxy. Can someone give me a
fuller explanation of why each .swf gets a unique instance?

Can anyone suggest a better solution?

I've included the code that constitutes the Singleton implemention below.

Thanks
Adrian

class com.shell.util.IntroAnimProxy {
   // Singleton instance
   private static var _instance:IntroAnimProxy;

   public function IntroAnimProxy () {}

   public static function getInstance():IntroAnimProxy {
   if ( IntroAnimProxy._instance == undefined ) {
   IntroAnimProxy._instance = new IntroAnimProxy();
   }
   return IntroAnimProxy._instance;
   }
}

RE: [Flashcoders] dynamic spacing

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

Give him some credit, he did say centered.
You would have to included StageSize and browser window size in your
evaluation.
This of course depends on how you have embed your swf in the html.

This is so simple you don't even have to ask the list... in that for loop
just increment and set the mc's x / y.  There's no complex algo behind it.
