RE: [Flashcoders] var (eventHandler)
you shouldn't var any functions even though technically that is correct.
also anything withoug a access keyword is defaulted to private which means
you can only access it from the class.
so to answer your question
public function onEnterFrame():Void
{
//code here
}
The void means you are not using a return.
if you are doing actionscript 1.0 then technically that is okay...
so something like
var myFunction = function ()
{
//code here
}
is what you should be using but that is 1.0 and not for classes.

Subject: [Flashcoders] var (eventHandler)
Okay, I'm guessing it's a stupid question, so I'll get over it asap.
I've never written a custom class before, and have recently started to code
things in Flash which are much more complex, approaching application status,
so I'm trying to wwrap my head around all of this OOP stuff. I keep running
into something that I can't get though...
using the VAR keyword when declaring event handlers, like this example from
Object-Oriented Actionscript for Flash 8:
var onEnterFrame:Function = doSomething;
I've Googled my [EMAIL PROTECTED] off, and I can't get it to save my life, and
this seemed

RE: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
Hi Vishal,
I apologise ahead if I'm being dense here, but nobody seems to have
mentioned the obvious solution:
Looping through the mcs in your third party flash movie and checking for
hit-test with the mouse position.
var hit_array:Array = [];
for (var i:String in target_mc){
var mc:MovieClip = target_mc[i];
if (!mc instanceof MovieClip){
//not a movie clip - ignore
continue;
}
//Check for hit test
if (target_mc[i].hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)
hit_array.push(target_mc);
}
}
At the end of it you have an array of all the movie clips that scored a
hit test.
This code is just off the top of my head, an thoroughly untested. Also
Depending on the structure of your flash movie, you will probably want to
delve deeper and test for a hit within each movie clip that you encounter.
It's also not very efficient, especially if you have to do recursion, so I
wouldn't recommend doing it too often. (don't use onMouseMove but rather an
enterFrame event, an interval or some kind of once-off event - depending on
your application).
Alternatively, if you already know which objects should be tested, you can
do this more efficiently by hard-coding them manually into an array and
looping within the array to check for a hit test. Not pretty, but should
work.
And finally, something that occurred to me while writing this post, you
could try temporarily switching off the _visible property of the overlapping
clip just before checking for _droptarget - and then switching it on again.
This might be the least processor-intensive way of doing this.
Cheers,
Karina

Ok, got it. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this but it
doesn't work with the third-party flash movie I am looking
at. They have an movie clip with _alpha set to 0 that covers
the stage at a depth higher than all other visible elements.
As a result _droptarget is always set to that object. What I
need is something that takes into account visibility.
Any other thoughts on this?

Mike, You might be able to do it using a server-side script. Swftools (http://www.swftools.org/) might have something, or swfmill might give you back something useful. Can't think of anything runtime/clientside, tho', other than Danny's hack for the characters.

Re: [Flashcoders] finding out which fonts are embedded in aswfatruntime?
Hi, I actually don't know how to do it, but i just wanted to say that i think is time for Adobe to improve A LOT everything related to shared fonts. My feature list would be: - Clean, easy, official way to create a swf with one/various fonts. - Being able to load at run-time that swf and easily apply those fonts to any TextField. - Being able to query the swf to get information about the font, embedded glyphs, etc. I actually asked for it in the player 10 whislist, but maybe we could expend some time defining what we need (as Colin Moock did when he was asking for MovieClipLoader) and spreading through blogs and forums so Adobe folks can actually hear it. I'll try to do it myself and post it here. I guess a lot of people might be interested.

Hi, I actually don't know how to do it, but i just wanted to say that i think is time for Adobe to improve A LOT everything related to shared fonts. Very much agreed. We've reached the situation where we tried every single variation on the shared font, and none of them did what we needed, so we've had to embed the font information in every one of our movies. The key feature that we lacked was the ability to create a new textfield using the shared font in a clean and easy way. (The closest we got to it was to embed a shared movieclip that included a textfield with the font embedded; unfortunately even this didn't work because of the lag in loading these movies). Also, the ability to use a font from a movie loaded with attachMovie in the parent movie.

Re: [Flashcoders] Seeking in a Progressively Downloaded FLV - Return of
You'll be able to seek to the cue points, yes, but the client will have to actually download that point of the file first. They won't be able to start watching from one of the cue points immediately. The way progressive download works, it starts downloading at the start of the file, and continues linearly until the whole file is downloaded. You can only seek to cue points that have been downloaded.

[Flashcoders] AS 3 and Sound
I didn't get any repsonses with my earlier post. Here's a shorter version. Is anyone using embedded event sounds in ActionScript 3? The published docs do not make clear how one is supposed to replace attachSound(), as they only give a Flex example, which in itself is screwy in that it requires a Sound subclass for each loaded sound.

[Flashcoders] RE: Seeking in a Progressively Downloaded FLV
Jeff, This can be done with some clever server-side code, a properly coded media player and flv's with metadata injected. All the sources you need are here: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player including a php implementation of the server-side script. Read his code for that player and you will learn a lot. If you don't use php you could do something similar in java, coldfusion(saw a script smewhere) or .NET. Or use lightHTTPD as descibed here: http://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2006/03/09/flv-streaming-with-lighttpd For metadata injection there are a couple tools you can use: http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/ Or: http://inlet-media.de/flvtool2 Also, read up on this for more background info: http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2005/11/2/Streaming-flv-video-via-PHP- take-two This should give you a good start.

[Flashcoders] syntax highlighting
Hello, Almost every programmer sets his own code highlighting style and gets used to it to the point, that any other highlighting style makes it more difficult for him to read the code. Users of programming-related sites would be pleased to have a possibility to set their own personal code styles. Evidently, setting the right style for every site you read through is annoying. What if you could set the style once and make it somehow propagated to the code listings on every site you visit? Here comes the solution: (for now PC only) - First visit http://www.bezier.ru/ei/. Make and save your highlighting settings there. - Go to http://www.sharedfont.com/ei/ and press the apply button. You should see your setting in effect. The service use no server scripting and can be easily adjusted for any programming language. For this service to launch and spread, it must be appropriately hosted by some well-known project or company domain. I think, this should be interesting for Eclipse, DoxyGen etc. Should you have anything to suggest concerning this project, please drop me a private message. Any thoughts and ideas are highly appreciated.

[Flashcoders] Flash 9, XMLSocket.onClose
I am currently building a large-scale Flash application. I had been testing with the v8.something plugin. During beta customers were complaining about crashes and I've finally tracked it down. I'm connecting to a custom message bus using an XMLSocket. When the remote end closes the connection (when we have to restart the message bus, as it's also beta quality) the Flash 8 plugin calls my onClose handler. The flash 9 plugin however brings down the entire browser. Backtraces have a call to EnforceLocalSecurity in common. Has anyone seen this? Does anyone have a workaround or further question to help me track this down? I haven't seen anything in the results of a google query and I have confirmed this behavior in the latest Flash plugin (at least for the Mac). Thanks in advance, I'm a new subscriber but these archives have come in handy several times when they came up in google queries. You guys seem to be the most intelligent group of flash developers in a single spot.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS 3 and Sound
Well it appears this is the shortest way:
var chromaticNames = ['a','aS','b','c','cS','d','dS','e','f','fS','g','gS'];
var loadedSounds:Array = new Array();
for (var oct=1; oct6; oct++) {
for (var n=0; nchromaticNames.length; n++) {
var sndClass:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName(chromaticNames[n] +
oct);
var snd:Sound = Sound(new sndClass());
loadedSounds.push(snd);
}
}
It works, but is a bit clunky. And have to rename all sharp notes from a# to
aS and such. Ah well. Thanks for the solution!

Well, if you want to send the whole HTML page to Flash to have it syntax highlighted then sent back to html ... then maybe you could do that. IV's tool works by re-write of a DIV layer that is properly named. It just snags the HTML source, parses it and outputs it back. Simple string parsing actually. It's a neat idea, as an experiment, but not for broad acceptance imho. At that point, might as well just use Flash to display the syntax highlighting itself without using any overflow CSS tags for scrolling and stuff.

Re: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
To respond to the recent activity on this thread:
Erik, the core functionality that I need really does need to be
comprehensive and fairly generic: so, given any 3rd party swf which I
don't have a priori knowledge of, determine which object is currently
underneath the mouse. It needs to work for any movieclip or TextField
object. It's proprietary so I can't really disclose why I need it.
You mention that implementing this would be process intensive: this is
ok to start. The way I would like to tackle this problem is to get it
working functionally, and worry about performance later.
Karina, Jason, the approaches you are suggesting of looping through
all the movieclips and calling hitTest() on each one is exactly what
my first approach was (see my first email in this thread). The
problem is that very often multiple movieclips will return
hitTest()==true for a given mouse position (clips at different depths,
clips obscuring others, etc). That's what I meant by 2 conflicting
objects in my first mail. I'm trying to find an algorithm to resolve
conflicts.
There is another approach which Erik mentioned, which is to
define/override the onRollOver callback for every object that I care
about, and set some variable that keeps track of the last object that
invoked onRollOver. I have tried this before, and I ditched it
because I couldn't find a way to get TextField objects to invoke an
onRollOver callback (or to otherwise respond to a 'roll over' event).
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Vishal

I've been following this thread and am just curious -- everyone seems to be
assuming that looping through all clips and doing hitTest() is inefficient,
but presumably this is exactly what the Flash player is doing with every
mouse move. Is there some good reason to assume the Flash player is doing
this internally much more efficiently than the function exposed through AS
as hitTest()? Without a priori knowledge, I'd recommend trying this, and if
it doesnt turn out to noticeably slow anything, you're done.
On 2/7/07, Karina Steffens [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi Vishal,
I apologise ahead if I'm being dense here, but nobody seems to have
mentioned the obvious solution:
Looping through the mcs in your third party flash movie and checking for
hit-test with the mouse position.
var hit_array:Array = [];
for (var i:String in target_mc){
var mc:MovieClip = target_mc[i];
if (!mc instanceof MovieClip){
//not a movie clip - ignore
continue;
}
//Check for hit test
if (target_mc[i].hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)
hit_array.push(target_mc);
}
}
At the end of it you have an array of all the movie clips that scored a
hit test.
This code is just off the top of my head, an thoroughly untested. Also
Depending on the structure of your flash movie, you will probably want to
delve deeper and test for a hit within each movie clip that you encounter.
It's also not very efficient, especially if you have to do recursion, so I
wouldn't recommend doing it too often. (don't use onMouseMove but rather
an
enterFrame event, an interval or some kind of once-off event - depending
on
your application).
Alternatively, if you already know which objects should be tested, you can
do this more efficiently by hard-coding them manually into an array and
looping within the array to check for a hit test. Not pretty, but should
work.
And finally, something that occurred to me while writing this post, you
could try temporarily switching off the _visible property of the
overlapping
clip just before checking for _droptarget - and then switching it on
again.
This might be the least processor-intensive way of doing this.
Cheers,
Karina

Ok, got it. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this but it
doesn't work with the third-party flash movie I am looking
at. They have an movie clip with _alpha set to 0 that covers
the stage at a depth higher than all other visible elements.
As a result _droptarget is always set to that object. What I
need is something that takes into account visibility.
Any other thoughts on this?

Re: [Flashcoders] to get last browsed web page before current
If you have access to PHP you can use http referrer (which isn't 100%
effective, but one of the better solutions)
$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}
I'm not sure how well that will work with a Flash application but
potentially you could send that to flash via a flashvar in PHP from your
page.

[Flashcoders] Little Problem with AMFPHP browser
I've started playing with AMFPHP today, and it's pretty darned cool! I have
a little service written, that sends back an SQL query to a datagrid - all
is good. But I can't get the online service browser to work - it's a path
problem I think.
Within the config.inc.php file it has this:
/**
* This is the path to your services folder. It should be fully qualified
* and must include a trailing / If you leave the value blank an attempt
* will be made to search the INCLUDE_PATH for it.
*/
$cfg['AmfphpPath'] = realpath(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))) . '/amfphp/';
$cfg['ServicesPath'] = $cfg['AmfphpPath'] . 'services/';
$cfg['CodePath'] = str_replace('\\', '/', $cfg['AmfphpPath'] . 'src/');
I've tried a few things and the browser just complains. It's in the default
amfphp install folder - webroot/amfphp/browser:
http://www.blurredistinction.com/amfphp/browser/
But it complains it can't find the ServiceBrowser.php file.

Re: [Flashcoders] Little Problem with AMFPHP browser
In the error message, it's got amfphp repeated in the path - maybe you
need to copy the real path from here rather than using __FILE__ because
that may be called from sub-directories, etc.
Try this:
/hsphere/local/home/blurred/blurredistinction.com/amfphp/
if that does not work, try removing amfphp/

RE: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
Jason -
This is a valid point, but even if flash is doing it with every mouse move,
it's probably not a good idea to make it do it all over again each time...
But I'm not sure what's more efficient - mouseMove, enterFrame or mouseOver?

I've been following this thread and am just curious --
everyone seems to be assuming that looping through all clips
and doing hitTest() is inefficient, but presumably this is
exactly what the Flash player is doing with every mouse move.
Is there some good reason to assume the Flash player is doing
this internally much more efficiently than the function
exposed through AS as hitTest()? Without a priori knowledge,
I'd recommend trying this, and if it doesnt turn out to
noticeably slow anything, you're done.

Hi Vishal,
I apologise ahead if I'm being dense here, but nobody seems to have
mentioned the obvious solution:
Looping through the mcs in your third party flash movie and
checking
for hit-test with the mouse position.
var hit_array:Array = [];
for (var i:String in target_mc){
var mc:MovieClip = target_mc[i];
if (!mc instanceof MovieClip){
//not a movie clip - ignore
continue;
}
//Check for hit test
if (target_mc[i].hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)
hit_array.push(target_mc);
}
}
At the end of it you have an array of all the movie clips that
scored a hit test.
This code is just off the top of my head, an thoroughly
untested. Also
Depending on the structure of your flash movie, you will
probably want
to delve deeper and test for a hit within each movie clip
that you encounter.
It's also not very efficient, especially if you have to do
recursion,
so I wouldn't recommend doing it too often. (don't use
onMouseMove but
rather an enterFrame event, an interval or some kind of
once-off event
- depending on your application).
Alternatively, if you already know which objects should be
tested, you
can do this more efficiently by hard-coding them manually into an
array and looping within the array to check for a hit test. Not
pretty, but should work.
And finally, something that occurred to me while writing this post,
you could try temporarily switching off the _visible
property of the
overlapping clip just before checking for _droptarget - and then
switching it on again.
This might be the least processor-intensive way of doing this.
Cheers,
Karina

Ok, got it. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this but
it doesn't
work with the third-party flash movie I am looking at.
They have an
movie clip with _alpha set to 0 that covers the stage at a depth
higher than all other visible elements.
As a result _droptarget is always set to that object.
What I need

Any other thoughts on this?

[Flashcoders] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts of a movieClip
Hi I need to detect mouse events on a movieclip's non-white content rather than it's bounding rectangle even where the contents are bitmap based. I'm putting together an activity for kids where they create a piece of art by dragging and dropping visual elements onto their canvas, then they can subsequently select these elements to move them, resize them, rotate, delete them etc. The user must be able to accurately select these elements even when they are overlapping – so long as a movieClip is partially visible, it needs to be selectable. The problem of course is that the movieClips are responding to mouse events as soon as the mouse enters their bounding rectangle. The items they drag are sourced from photographic material and need to remain as bitmap–based movieClips. They are a collection of everyday items: fruit, plants, vehicles, people etc and currently they are imported as PNGs with an alpha channel. One option would be to make a vector graphic version of every single graphic, have that layered behind in each clip and have that detect the mouse events – but what a pain! There has to be a simpler way? I guess I need seomething like a background transparent blending mode – but there isn't one:( I'm sure others have tackled this problem. Anyone?

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts of a movieClip
Check out the BitmapData class, specifically the static loadBitmap(id) method for creating an instance from a library symbol, and getPixel() which allows checking individual pixel values. I would think an algorithm that would work would be to iterate through the display list, do hitTest() on every clip, and for those that hit, starting with the first (which is the highest depth), copy the image data into a BitmapData object and do a getPixel() at that spot to test for the transparent color (which sounds like its white). This would be slow, presumably. But might redo the objects on stage so that they are already Bitmaps or BitmapData.

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts of a movieClip
Thanks for those suggestions. I didn't think about Birmapdata.hitTest(), but I had thought about using getPixel() Sure, I can use that to decide whether or not the user has clicked on a non-white area, but that doesn't resolve user confusion. It doesn't help the user to know which item they are about to select because the cursor will already have changed when the mouse enters the bounding rect.

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts of a movieClip
Can't you override the onMouseOver of the clips to prevent the cursor change? Or wait, why would the cursor be changing? There's no onRollover event being specifically handled, but each of the clips has onPress, onRelease and onReleaseOutside events handled. My understanding is that it's the default behaviour of a clip with any mouse events handled at all, that the cursor changes when it enters the clip. In the case of a clip comprising a vector graphic the change occurs when it enters a non-white area. In the case of a clip containing a bitmap, it changes when the cursor enters the bounding rectangle of the clip. ___ 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] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts of a movieClip
If I were looking for the super-ideal correct algorithm and hade infinite coding monkeys, I would at init time create bitmaps of every library item, and use flood-fill combined with trig math to generate vector trace shapes of the non-white areas, which I would draw as zero alpha shapes into a movie clip attached to each raster movie clip. And then iterate throgh the display list calling hitTest on these invisible shapes. You'd avoid any code to copy bitmap data, would still be able to otherwise treat your clips as normal clips, and would get pre-built hitTest() behavior for the vector shaps, without having extra design-time work when images are added. The code to convert a bitmap into vectors would be the tricky part, but is technically doable. I may be tired as well. Just thinking outside the box.

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts
My understanding is that it's the default behaviour of a clip with
any mouse events handled at all, that the cursor changes when it
enters the clip.
Using useHandCursor, you could turn that feature off as the default, and then
back on when you test positive for your viewable clip area.
Something like this:
clip.useHandCursor = false;
clip.onPress = function(){
}
clip.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.useHandCursor = (this.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true));
}

Re: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
It looks like you spent some time on this response, I really
appreciate that. As I mentioned in my first mail, depth, _visible and
_alpha are the properties I'm checking right now to resolve conflicts.
So my code looks very similar to your code below. This works
sometimes, but I've run into cases where there are 2 movieclips for
which hitTest() is true, _visible is true, _alpha is 100, and the
depths are identical. One of the movieclips is obscured behind the
other; there must be some way to distinguish them. Are there any
other properties on movieclips (maybe hidden ones) that might be of
use? The Flash runtime must be doing this internally for onRollOver
event firing; anyone know how this works?
Thanks,
Vishal

Ok, I see your problem, so lets think what else you can do with the hitTest
approach...
First of all, you can set the shape flag to true, so that the hit test will
only return true if there's something there (as opposed to the entire
bounding rect).
Then you can test for _alpha (you might want to test for _visible also),
thus eliminating invisible buttons, such as your big rectangle that obscures
the rest.
Finally, checking for different depths - I recently discovered that if you
loop through a clip, it starts at the highest depth, even on the same layer:
for (var i in _root) {
trace(i + +_root[i].getDepth());
}
$version
clip3 -16379
clip2 -16381
clip1 -16383
So now you know which one has the highest depth: clip3, which also comes
first in the loop.
At this point, you can break the loop. If you need to go deeper, you can
then recurse within that clip, and see if it has any child mcs, which one of
those scores the highest hitTest and if that one has any children - etc.
Here's some quickdirty code:
for (var i in _root) {
trace(i + +_root[i].getDepth());
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
for (var i in this) {
var clip = this[i];
if (!(clip instanceof MovieClip)) {
continue;
}
if (clip._alpha == 0 || clip._visible == 0) {
continue;
}
if (clip.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
trace(clip);
break;
}
}
};
On the timeline, I placed three circular clips overlapping eachother, so
that clip1 is at the lowest depth and clip3 at the highest. I made clip3
invisible by setting it's alpha to 0.
After moving my mouse over the clips, starting from the third, the trace
result was:
$version
clip3 -16379
clip2 -16381
clip1 -16383
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip1
_level0.clip1
_level0.clip1
Each time the trace picked out the highest visible part of a clip, thus
resolving any conflicts.
Hope this helps to point you in the right direction.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] determining which object is
displayed at agivenpoint
To respond to the recent activity on this thread:
Erik, the core functionality that I need really does need to
be comprehensive and fairly generic: so, given any 3rd party
swf which I don't have a priori knowledge of, determine which
object is currently underneath the mouse. It needs to work
for any movieclip or TextField object. It's proprietary so I
can't really disclose why I need it.
You mention that implementing this would be process
intensive: this is ok to start. The way I would like to
tackle this problem is to get it working functionally, and
worry about performance later.
Karina, Jason, the approaches you are suggesting of looping
through all the movieclips and calling hitTest() on each one
is exactly what my first approach was (see my first email in
this thread). The problem is that very often multiple
movieclips will return hitTest()==true for a given mouse
position (clips at different depths, clips obscuring others,
etc). That's what I meant by 2 conflicting objects in my
first mail. I'm trying to find an algorithm to resolve conflicts.
There is another approach which Erik mentioned, which is to
define/override the onRollOver callback for every object that
I care about, and set some variable that keeps track of the
last object that invoked onRollOver. I have tried this
before, and I ditched it because I couldn't find a way to get
TextField objects to invoke an onRollOver callback (or to
otherwise respond to a 'roll over' event).
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Vishal

Those will both be separate projects, but I do plan on implementing them. Right now I am just doing a basics animation framework. If you're looking for physics, check out APE.

Thanks John, Bob, Jason and Keith for your thoughts and advice. I think we'll be making vector graphics to match all the bitmaps . For now, sleep beckons...
