RE: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks
There's an old problem with Flash that pops up every so often and I've never been able to determine what causes it or how to solve it. Sometimes certain clips/buttons stop receiving clicks unless you move the mouse between clicks. Does anyone know how or why this happens and how to get around it (hopefully not involving hitTest)? Do you use Safari? I believe there's a known bug with Safari that has this effect. IIRC it's been fixed in the latest release. (I may be making all this up...)

Re: [Flashcoders] weird htmlText split and join behavior
Marcelo and luchyx, thanks for replies. A few words about my case. This is a kind of digest page where summary blocks are followed by click to see details links. When user clicks such a link, details info will be displayed right below the link on this page. Click again - hide details. As you know, this is easy to do in html+javascript by element.style.display = block; (or none to hide) In flash, it's more tricky: I have placeholder tags (tag_to_replace id=n) in my text which will be replaced by details_texts_array[n] when user clicks a link. So, I can't use a button. However, rebuilding the textfield (if just redefining all params won't be enough) IS a solution. Frankly, I wouldn't like to rewrite well-working (in v7) code, but... Flash ignore the unsupported html tags.! Well, seems it's only v8 and by random (i.e., depending on it's mood :-).

[Flashcoders] Loading library movie clips sequentially? Best way to do this?

If you want a command line solution that you may be able to hack to work in a server environment, I'd look into ffmpeg. b) How to convert the resulting MP3 into a base64 string PHP has a base64 library. Look there for starters. I believe you can pass it an argument to encode a file (which would be the mp3 file on your server). To encode the MP3 into a base64 string dynamically is going to kill your server CPU. You're better off running a chron job on your server to execute PHP code to encode the file when placed in a certain directory. If the base64 version is already encoded, don't do anything, just send the stored encoded version. c) How to send the base64 string to my server via XML-RPC I don't know if XML-RPC is not going to handle that amount of data very effectively. The base64 encoded version of the MP3 file will be huge. BTW, shall I use AS2 or AS3 for this? I don't know if it will matter. Once you have the base64 encoded string in Flash, what do you plan to do with it? I don't see how you'll be able to attach it to a sound object. I never tried this though, so the sound object should be able to take the raw mp3 data and use it, but who know? This whole process may be best done with a socket connection with AS3 and using binary data to send the result directly to a sound object. good luck. jon ___ 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

My understanding is that there is no way to create a Sound object other than by embedding it or using a streaming server (see Red5). However, some enterprising individuals have realized that in AS3 you can dynamically create objects (e.g. reflection) and thus if you really want to you could programmatically 'generate' sound. Depending on your use case it is probably much easier to use a streaming server. As an aside the use case I had for programmatic generation of a Sound object was the idea that the Speex algorithm (an open codec for human voice encoding) might be a possibility in AS3, alas it looks like it would be a major undertaking.

Re: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks
This is a known problem with the v2 components FocusManager class 'stealing
focus'.
There's an easy fix:
function onMouseDown() {
this.focusManager.enabled = false;
}
function onMouseUp() {
this.focusManager.enabled = true;
}
Note that 'focusManager' is a (hidden/invisible/unremovable) movieclip instance
in the main timeline created as soon as you use a v2
component.

Re: [Flashcoders] weird htmlText split and join behavior
HI gregory.
Yes the htmlText is a pain.! The problems never end.
And macromedia now adobe never fix those behaviors in the text field.
I think that you can check for flash 8 movie if you have filters available
or other flash 8 functions like setTimeOut. if(_global.setTimeout() !=
undefined) return 8 else return 7;
This is not a reliable solution because if you write a function in F7 called
setTimeOut. It faill.
I can't remenber if you have a object that tell this inside SWF but try a
loop in the _root object.
var ro = _root;
for (var t in ro){ trace(t+ +ro[t])}
Flash player 9 can tell that.;)

RE: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks

[Flashcoders] Math: Triangle rotations around an origin
This is based on Danny Codicek's Mathematics Physics for programmers,
and i'm feeling very stupid right now.
From what i can tell, the book describes the function as such:
rotatedX =
Math.sqrt(originalx*originalx+originaly*originaly)*Math.sin(angle-Math.atan2(originaly,originalx))
and the same for rotatedY
My implementation is this:
import flash.geom.Point;
function Triangle(p1:Point,p2:Point,p3:Point){
this.p1 = p1;
this.p2 = p2;
this.p3 = p3;
this.update = function(){
this.clip = _root.container.createEmptyMovieClip(triangle,1);
with(this.clip){
beginFill(0xFF);
moveTo(p1.x,p1.y);
lineTo(p2.x,p2.y);
lineTo(p3.x,p3.y);
lineTo(p1.x,p1.y);
endFill();
}
}
this.update();
}
function rotateTriangle(triangle:Object,angle:Number){
var rad:Number = angle*(Math.PI/180);
for(var i = 3;i--;){
var p = triangle[p+(i+1)];
var py:Number = Math.sqrt(p.x*p.x+p.y*p.y);
var np:Point = new Point();
np.x = dist*Math.cos(rad-Math.atan2(p.y,p.x));
np.y = dist*Math.sin(rad-Math.atan2(p.y,p.x));
triangle[p+(i+1)].x = np.x;
triangle[p+(i+1)].y = np.y;
}
triangle.update();
}
var t1:Object = new Triangle(new Point(10,10),new Point(40,40),new
Point(10,40));
rotateTriangle(t1,45);
This isn't working very well: I'm not sure wether angle should be
angles or radians, since either gives off-kilter results and radians
gives the least freakishness, but what happens is on every other update
the triangle gets mirrored rather than rotated.
Could someone with stronger cerebral capacity than me have a look at my
function, figure it out and explain where i went wrong? The more i look
at it the less i understand why it flips every other update.

Re: [Flashcoders] Math: Triangle rotations around an origin
Hi Andreas,
you need the initial angle, which is Math.atan2( mouseY, mouseX ).
Then the angle while rotating, which is the same minus the initial
angle. That's your current angle -- like all angles, in radians.
to rotate points by this angle, just do this:
var newX = Math.cos( angle ) * originalX - Math.sin( angle ) * originalY;
var newY = Math.sin( angle ) * originalX + Math.cos( angle ) * originalY;
HTH,
Mark

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading library movie clips sequentially? Best way to do this?

Re: [Flashcoders] How to send Audio objects as MP3 via XML-RPC?
in that case you got everything wrong, microphone attached to sound object provides only playback of current sound. no recording or anything like that. only way imo is to use FMS or Red5 to send stream serverside and only then encode it as you need. thats the only alternative as far as i know. though i'm not sure about AS3 maybe there are some new features that might help to do this. but still sending sound stream sounds a lot more efficient to me than encoding sound into stream client side, then send string to serverside and encode it back to sound there. 2006/11/29, Leo Burd [EMAIL PROTECTED]: - From a microphone input... .L. - Original Message - From: Janis Radins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 10:34 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] How to send Audio objects as MP3 via XML-RPC?

Ah, ok, that makes things clearer. First, look at RED5 - http://osflash.org/red5 You'd have to record to FLV and then run a second program to parse out the audio, but it could be done. Second, the blog entry I was thinking of is http://www.flashcodersbrighton.org/wordpress/?p=9 it might contain useful code if you wanted to try and convert the audio inside of flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] SCM/Project management tool
Hey guys, thank you all for the replies, it really helped me on deciding which one to choose. After some research, I've found trac to be the one with most advantages. Before closing the thread, I would like to ask a few question about trac and flash projects: * How do you handle projects that consists of a client (flash) and a server written in another language? A trac enviroment for both of them? * About the syntax highliting, is there support for AS2/AS3? Marcelo.

Personally I think it'd be crazy to seperate the front-end and back-end code into different repositories - it's the same project, you want to be able to version track/bugfix the same project (is that bug in the front end or back end?) and, importantly, you want to be able to branch and tag the same project. * About the syntax highliting, is there support for AS2/AS3?

[Flashcoders] Issue with differnet fps in same swf

I have to sync this imported swf with some other stuff and what I want to do is calculate how many % into my movie the playhead is. my imported movie is of 1900 frames. But thats played at 14 fps. In the imported enviorment. Does it still have the 1900 frames but skips some so that the 1900 frames can be played at 12 fps over the same time period?

Re: [Flashcoders] Breaking appart a class

Don't just separate functions, decompose the game and the objects should fall out. Let's use an online chess game as an example. Chess has players, moves, pieces and a board. I'd probably build a Player.as, Move.as, Piece.as and Board.as I might create descendants of Piece (e.g. King, Queen, Rook etc). As you look at each function in the game put that in the class file that it has the most to do with. Drawing the board goes in Board.as. The board probably knows where the pieces are and calls Piece to draw each piece on an occupied square. Testing for check belongs in Move.as since its not legal to put your own king in check by your move. The checktest should be public as you'll want to re-use it. Testing for checkmate probably belongs in Player as at the start of each player's turn you should test to see if s/he has lost the game. That will probably involve multiple calls to checktest to see if their king can move to a square where he's not in check. The game starts by creating 2 players and a board. while neither player is checkmated it processes one player's turn then the other's.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading library movie clips sequentially? Best way to do this?
Hi, Great info all! Many thanks Andy, Alain, and Rasmus. I really appreciate your time. So, it sounds like the consensus is to externally load the clips... Hehe, that makes a lot more sense. :) @Andy: Thanks for example code. That actually looks like what I would like to do... A few month back I found a site that has some great vid tutes on using fuse: http://www.gotoandlearn.com/ I have been reading Foundation Actionscript Animation, so I am not sure if I want to try and do this myself (for learning purposes), or maybe use something like Fusekit to get some of the more complicated actionscript out of the way. Well, either way, thanks for the example code, I really appreciate the pointers. :) @Alain: Right on, thanks for the links. I was not sure where exactly to look and/or what would be best for my situation. Currently, I have imported all frames into my library -- due to the complexity of the 3D object, I had to do this in order to optimize and figure-out the positioning. Looks like I will export all my clips from my lib as swf's... and externally load. @Rasmus: That looks like a great option too, thanks for sharing the link. :) This is where I am not sure if I should use the code of others, or try to do this all myself... I am opting for the latter, but I have yet to really tackle the scripting. Fortunately, this is just a personal project, so there is no deadline to meet. :D Again, thanks all! Have a great winter.

One thing to remember is that classes and objects are designed for YOU, not for the computer. OOP is meant to make programming easier for humans and our quirky ways of thinking.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Loading library movie clips sequentially? Best
way
todo this?
Hello,
Here is the scoop: I have 36 movie clips in my library that get placed
on stage via actionscript...
Long story short, I would like to load each clip one at a time, for
example: movie_clip-01 fully loads and animates into position, then
movie_clip-02 loads and animates into position, (...), and finally
movie_clip-36 loads and animates into position. Basically, I want to
break-up the load across time, vs. doing it all at the beginning.
Just wondering if the above idea makes sense? Is it standard to do
that
type of loading from the library at runtime, or should I be working
with
36 external swf files?
Anyone seen any tutorials and/or example files on the web that cover
this type of loading?
Any tips/suggestions/links/rtfm's (with page #) ya'll can send my way
would be kick-butt! :)
Sorry if noob question... I am just now getting back into Flash after
a
2-year hiatus.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Micky

Lol, it is so tempting to *not* reinvent the wheel. Haha. Basically, I just want to load all 36 6-frame animations, one at a time, with a bit of easing animation (i.e. loads, then moves into position along the y-axis) and then load/animate the next.

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] SCM/Project management tool
Yes I´m using Streber-PM here. But the file manager is pretty simple and doesn't support SVN. I think you need something like a mix of Streber+Track SVN. That's could be awesome.

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] SCM/Project management tool
I'm really curious how you install your apps to the server using ant. We currently use svn update for some of our staging stuff. Which tasks do you use to install/deploy? I'd like to see something that would automatically synchronize via ftp in ant but I never thought doing something like that would work.

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] SCM/Project management tool
Hi Chris, It entirely depends on the project. There's an optional FTP task (requires some extra libs) that comes with Ant which we use for simple file uploads. Off the top of my head, we've used combinations of: - hand-written calls to SVN (i.e. using the exec task) to update and to tag - writing/reading of .properties files (to maintain build numbers etc.) using the property task - the optional FTP task - the Zip task for creating single-file packages (to, for example, send a server install/distribution to a client) - integration with NSIS (more exec tasks) to build Windows installers (for Flash projectors) - even, sometimes, simple copies across Windows/Samba fileshares for deployment In the past we've written our own extensions to Ant to make some of the tasks much simpler in Ant syntax; but over time (as Ant has developed) we moved away from that. At the place I worked four or five years ago we had a lot more integration on the server side; e.g. you checked in your shared classes and a hook (in CVS, in those days) fired off a server-side test suite and a rebuild of the API documentation based on those classes; but we've not had a need (yet!) for that here.

[Flashcoders] How variables when using setInterval ...
Hello, Lets say you have 10 different setIntervals running within your class. Do you also declare 10 different variables for these intervals ? like so: private var nInt:Number; private var nInt2:Number; private var nInt3:Number; etc etc Or can you just declare one variable and use it multiple times (I'm guessing not because then when you clear the interval, all of them would stop).

If you have wmode value of transparent or sometimes opaque will cause the
hitareas to be offset, potentially outside of the clickable flash area. Only

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading library movie clips sequentially? Best way to do this?
I've found that LoadQueueManager is excellent for loading multiple external files in sequence.. It also gives you the possibility to pause loading, rearrange loading order etc. etc. http://blog.bittube.com/2006/10/27/loadqueuemanager-update/ Hope to see an AS 3 version of this soon! For AS3 i'd recommend to just zip your assets and load that zip directly into Flash. No more annoying loading queues. http://codeazur.com.br/lab/fzip/ I've also started working on a low/midlevel AS3 HTTP library, that you could use to utilize persistant connections and pipelining over HTTP 1.1.

RE: [Flashcoders] How variables when using setInterval ...
Kenny Bunch wrote an interval manager way back when. http://www.kennybunch.com/index.php?p=16 To answer your question, though, setInterval returns a number, which is a unique id reference for that interval. If you set another interval to the same var, you orphan the previous interval forever lost, forever running. As a matter of good practice you should always clearInterval before you setInterval. clearInterval(myInterval); myInterval = setInterval(...); ___ 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] LoadVars.send vs. LoadVars.sendAndLoad
Hi, When using sendAndLoad you have to use 2 different loadVars objects. You should first create two loadVars objects. One to store the vars you want to send, and the other one to load the vars you get from the process. Ex: var orderLVIn = new LoadVars(); var orderLVOut = new LoadVars(); (...) orderLVOut.sendAndLoad(processorder.php, orderLVIn, POST); Hope this helps...
