[Flashcoders] Reading font information from loaded SWF
Hi All, I am loading an SWF file runtime into my main application. The swf will have more of text, and with different fonts. How can I find out the list of fonts used in the swf after I load the SWF? I just need the names of fonts. Is it possible with actionscript?

[Flashcoders] effects on dynamic text
Hi, I am trying to apply effects like drop shadows to dynamic text items, but that seems to affect the anti-aliasing. Is there a way of converting dynamic text into bitmaps, then applying the effect?

Re: [Flashcoders] effects on dynamic text
I found it! It was the autokerning. If you use that, the anitaliasing does not work properly and dynamic text does not load.

[Flashcoders] how to get controls and anchors of curve, gradients, etc.
Our artist has built a set of graphics using Flash. Now I need to derive a set of algoriths to reproduce the different graphic elements at any scale or hue. Is there any way to get curve, gradiet, and fill data about the various layers of a movie clip using AS2? What about AS3? My goal is to create a skin. Am I going about this the wrong way? The online literature about skinning AS2 components is pretty weak. Are there any great books on this subject? ___ 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] Stopping a Movie Clip animation
Hi, I'm re-writing a beginning Flash class for designers. I used Movie Clips so that they would just adjust to using movie clips for interactivity as they move on to more complex topics. Graphic symbols vs. Movie Clips would just confuse students and added a layer of confusion that made life harder. Now in AS 3 I can't add stops to the first frame of the movie clip. No big deal, but then I can't add stops to the last frame of a Movie Clip either. Is the only way to stop a Movie Clip from looping is to check if the last frame been reached and then stop it? This seems like an overwhelming amount of thought for a newbie to grasp. And certainly puts this poor teacher in tears trying to explain a conditional in the second class of Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] Stopping a Movie Clip animation
Hello :)
you can test in AS3 the undocumented method : addFrameScript()
Usage : *MovieClip.addFrameScript(frame:uint,notify:Function)*
package
{
class MyClip extends MovieClip
{
public function MyClip()
{
this.addFrameScript( this.totalFrames, this.stop) ; //
not tested !
}
}
}
Article about this method :
http://www.flashguru.co.uk/undocumented-actionscript-3/
An example of use :

[Flashcoders] JSFL Experts! -- Video Import (Access UI elements of Video Import XUL Dialog Window)
INFO: I have a JSFL script that calls importFile() to import FLVs into my documents. This opens the Import Video dialog window with input fields and radiobuttons. Here is the Video Import window I'm talking about... http://keith-hair.com/web/photos/videoimport.jpg QUESTION: (1.)Is there way (or how) can I dynamically change the values in the radiobuttons and inputfields in this particular dialog window? (2.)If it is created with XUL markup, where is the file where this XUL markup is located in Flash 8 installation. I was hoping to use JSFL to rewrite the file with the intended values before the Video Import dialog is shown. I'm assuming the Video Import window is built with XUL markup like any other dialog window executed through JSFL.

Re: [Flashcoders] Stopping a Movie Clip animation
Can you elaborate on your question? Not that I'll be able to answer, but I'm confused by what you said. I haven't really tried much in the way of timeline stuff in AS3 as I just got Flash CS3 last week. If I read you right, you're saying that I can't add a stop action to the end of an AS3 Flash 9 published SWF. WellI did, and it worked. I made a little motion tween and put a stop action at the end, and it stopped, as expected. I did the same for the first frame and it didn't move. I must be misunderstanding what you're getting at, but would really like to know if there are any unexpected things to watch out for! fill me in?

[Flashcoders] BitmapData.draw() and threshold() not working online
hello list, I am using GMap component (http://www.afcomponents.com/components/g_map/) to show maps from GoogleMaps inside flash. This is working fine, online and offline (using projector or running inside flash IDE). I and a friend of mine are working in a kind of web art work, where we will use maps from googlemaps to generate some drawings. This is working offline (I use BitmapData.draw() to get the bitmap data from the component, after the map is loaded, and manipulate it with threshold()) but online it is not working. Only a black rectangle appears.

Re: [Flashcoders] JSFL Experts! -- Video Import (Access UI elements of Video Import XUL Dialog Window)
If I had to guess (which I am) I'd say the video import dialog is handled by the Flash Video Extension.dll (on windows) which is in the Flash install directory. So I doubt you have access to it from jsfl. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: keith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2007 9:13 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] JSFL Experts! -- Video Import (Access UI elements of Video Import XUL Dialog Window) INFO: I have a JSFL script that calls importFile() to import FLVs into my documents.
