[Flashcoders] CS3: unexpected type
Hi list, The following puzzles me: //code in frame 1 1 var xmlData:xml; 2 trace(typeof(xmlData)); //'object' not xml?? //mijnXml.getHetXmlObject() is a method of a custom class that is supposed to return an xml-object //code that loads the xml is ommitted 3 trace(typeof(mijnXml.getHetXmlObject())); //'object' not xml?? 4 xmlData = mijnXml.getHetXmlObject(); //called from a button I have the following: 6 trace(typeof(mijnXml.getHetXmlObject())); //'xml' 7 trace(typeof(xmlData)); //'object' ??? My questions: Why does flash see 'xmlData' as an object in line 2 although I specifically type it as 'xml' in line 1? I understand that in line 3 somehow flash has not yet determined the type of the variable (not yet fully loaded?). Only after a while it 'sees' the correct type (line 6). Is that correct? From Moock's EAS3 (p30) I understand that, as the type of the original variable (returned by mijnXml.getHetXmlObject()) is an object (line 3), xmlData holds only a _reference_ to the original variable. Thus, when the original variable changed to type 'xml', xmlData should also become type 'xml'. But according to line 7 it is still an object. Why??

RE: [Flashcoders] save swf
Bassam, You could use an approach similar to the one Alan first suggested, and record all the user's choices into a properties object, save it with a server side script, and then use a generic movie clip that re-loads all these properties and recreates the original design in that way. This gives you the flexibility to make any changes later on.

Re: [Flashcoders] CS3: unexpected type
Hi,
the differences in type checking between i am a string and new String (i
am a string) and xml and other objects is fairly annoying.
ie:
trace (typeof(string)); //traces string
trace (typeof(new String(string))); //traces object
Same goes for other objects such as xml etc its all fairly inconsistent.
Im using this wrapper class, makes my life hell of a lot easier.
trace (TypeChecker.isType (foo, String)); //true
trace (TypeChecker.isType (new String(foo), String)); //true
trace (TypeChecker.isType (myXML, XML)); //true
Give it a spin.
In addition, I see you are mixing languages in your code, this happens to us
sometimes but only when the clients business model contains dutch terms that
are hard to translate or communicate after translation. In all other cases,
mixing languages is very confusing and errorprone in my experience and as
such bad practice. Feel free to ignore this statement:)

[Flashcoders] Take movieclips from one mc and attach to another
Hello!
I've found a nice code (pasted at the bottom of
this mail) to display a rotating set of movieclips.
One problem with it is though that it assumes
a hardcoded set of 7 movieclips in the library,
called 0, 1, ... 6 and attaches them to the
stage by calling attachMovie(i, mc+i, i);
I'd like to change that to a MovieClip-based class
which would take an arbitary array of MovieClips
and attach them to itself:
class Ellipse extends MovieClip {
private var mcs:Array = [];
...
public function setMovieClips(mcs:Array) {
this.mcs = mcs;
for (var i:Number = 0; i mcs.length; i++) {
var mc:MovieClip = mcs[i];
// XXX this.attachMovie(i, mc+i, i);
And here comes the problem - how do I attach
MovieClips (referred by mc above) to the Ellipse?
There are only 2 methods - attachMovie() and
duplicateMovieClip() - and they both need a linkage
name as the argument.
I.e. my general question is: how do I remove
a child-MovieClip from one parent-MovieClip
and assign it to another parent-MovieClip?
Regards
Alex

Re: [Flashcoders] Take movieclips from one mc and attach to another
You can't re-parent MovieClips in AS2. You could make your class control
arbitrary MovieClips as if they were reparented with a lot of math and
localToGlobal() calls, though. Probably not a great idea, though.

Thanks, but can't I this.duplicateMovieClip() the
MovieClips passed to my class as arguments to its method
and then removeMovieClip the original?
Or createEmptyMovieClip() and the loadMovie() into it?

Re: [Flashcoders] Take movieclips from one mc and attach to another
I don't think having the class extend MovieClip is the right way to do this.
I'd just create a class and pass it an array of linkage names in which to
attach. Try this:
class Ellipse
{
function Ellipse(attachTo:MovieClip, linkageArray:Array)
{
var N:Number = linkageArray.length;
var A:Number = 150;
var B:Number = 50;
var X:Number = 200;
var Y:Number = 150;
var GR:Number = Math.PI / 180;
var ref:MovieClip;
for (var i:Number = 0; i N; i++) {
ref = attachTo.attachMovie(linkageArray[i], linkageArray[i], i);
ref.alpha = 0+i*(360/N);
ref.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.alpha += (_root._xmouse - X) / 100;
this._x = X + A * Math.cos(this.alpha * GR);
this._y = this._xscale = this._yscale = Y + B * Math.sin(this.alpha *
GR);
this.swapDepths(this._y);
};
}
}
}
Then in Flash pass the constructor an attach to clip, and an array with
linkage names.
var e:Ellipse = new Ellipse(this,
[sym_1,sym_2,sym_3,sym_4,sym_5,sym_6,sym_7]);
PS - this way you can use a variable number of clips also - you don't need
to use seven.

You can use a single MovieClip as the source for as many individual bitmaps as you want, limited only by your CPU power. Look up the basics of attaching bitmaps and using BitmapData.draw -- that's all readily available in the manuals and tutorials. Then just create two bitmaps attached to two movieclips, and do this: // assume that source is the MovieClip containing the original image var matrix:Matrix; var normalScale:Number = 1.0; var thumbScale:Number = 0.25; // draw to the bitmap at the normal scale matrix = source.transform.matrix; matrix.scale(normalScale, normalScale); normalBitmap.draw(source, matrix); // draw to the bitmap at the thumbnail scale matrix = source.transform.matrix; matrix.scale(thumbScale, thumbScale); thumbBitmap.draw(source, matrix); Now the normalBitmap (a BitmapData object) has your image at full size, and thumbBitmap has the image at 1/4 size. ___ 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

I posted an overly-fancy BitmapData copying solution -- it hasn't gone through yet -- but Dave's answer is a lot better. If both versions of the image are static, just loadMovie them both. I originally did that BitmapData thing to display a magnified area of a complex clip generated from user input, but it's overkill for static images. ___ 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] difference between coding in classes and in root directly
Hi,
My goal is to play an FLV and use the setInterval method without problems at
the same time.
This works fine when my code is placed on the timeline.
When the EXACT same code is placed in an external class however the FLV gets
interrupped soon as the setInterval is invoked.
Also an onEnterFrame interferes with the flv when using an external class.
How is this possible?
Kind regards,
Tom

Re: [Flashcoders] Big size Image and Thumbnail
If you are using Flash 8+ you could use the Bitmapdata datatype to copy it to a new movieclip and scale it to thumbnail size I think.

You can use a single MovieClip as the source for as many individual bitmaps as you want, limited only by your CPU power. Look up the basics of attaching bitmaps and using BitmapData.draw -- that's all readily available in the manuals and tutorials. Then just create two bitmaps attached to two movieclips, and do this: // assume that source is the MovieClip containing the original image var matrix:Matrix; var normalScale:Number = 1.0; var thumbScale:Number = 0.25; // draw to the bitmap at the normal scale matrix = source.transform.matrix; matrix.scale(normalScale, normalScale); normalBitmap.draw(source, matrix); // draw to the bitmap at the thumbnail scale matrix = source.transform.matrix; matrix.scale(thumbScale, thumbScale); thumbBitmap.draw(source, matrix); Now the normalBitmap (a BitmapData object) has your image at full size, and thumbBitmap has the image at 1/4 size. ___ 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
Re: [Flashcoders] Big size Image and Thumbnail
I think he wants to load the big image and then load it again but resize it. If that's what you want, just load image with loadMovie or MovieClipLoader and once it has been cached, load it again (the same url) to a redimensioned MovieClip.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: difference between coding in classes and in root directly
This is the same code you sent in your first message. You can't have a class
in a keyframe's code if you're using AS2, so, what I would like to know is
where in your FLA you are creating this class' instance.
You might be creating it in the first keyframe, like this:

So, how are you doing it ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Real Player 11 messing up Flash application UI
Just ran into another issue, and this one is actively breaking things, not just causing UI annoyances. RP11 seems to be doing something to prevent LocalConnections from being cleaned up. Our application uses a couple SWFs for the UI, using LocalConnections to communicate between them. One of these SWFs gets reloaded sometimes (the frame it's in can be navigated away from at times). Normally everything works fine because the unloading of the SWF when the page changes cleans up the LocalConnections. However, with RP11 installed the cleanup doesn't seem to happen. The first time the SWF loads it works fine, but every time after that it fails to open the LocalConnection, completely breaking the application.

They all let you do the same sorts of things; the differences are largely matters of syntax and popularity. ColdFusion is arguably the best fit for Flash development, since it provides Flash Remoting and LiveCycle Data Services (formerly Flex Data Services), but is not as widely used as the other three I mentioned.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: difference between coding in classes and in root directly
Hi Marcelo,
var test:Test = new Test(); on the first keyframe indeed.
When I'm executing the code from the timeline I leave out the class
definition and so.
the make things a bit more clear:
--- situation one (first keyframe):
//setup netstream
var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
//movies
var videoHolder_p:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie(videoHolder,
videoHolder_mc, 0);
videoHolder_p.video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play(bokk1.flv);
--- situation two (first keyframe):
var test:Test = new Test();
in combination with an externat class Test:
class Test
{
var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
//movies
var videoHolder_p:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie(videoHolder,
videoHolder_mc, 0);
videoHolder_p.video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play(bokk1.flv);
}
The second gives problems when using an onEnterFrame of setInterval
function.
I discovered a work around when using an external class by doing the
following
class Test
{
var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
_root.connection_nc = connection_nc
_root.connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(_root.connection_nc);
_root.stream_ns = stream_ns
//movies
var videoHolder_p:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie(videoHolder,
videoHolder_mc, 0);
videoHolder_p.video.attachVideo(_root.stream_ns);
_root.stream_ns.play(bokk1.flv);
}
Now it works. So by defining everything in the root no problems arise.
The weird thing is that when not defining everything in the root works as
well but soon as an onEnterFrame or seInterval is invoked the FLV stops
playing.
Any idea why this happens?

_myMatrix = mcTarget.transform.matrix;
_myMatrix.scale(factorH,factorW);
_myBitMap.draw(mcTarget,_myMatrix);
//I catch it! - now i have the bitmap
_mcThumbnail.attachBitmap(_myBitMap,1);
}
but i'm not sure if it's going ok... at least now i haven't to make
another load but... i think the thumbnail is scaling the portion of
big image i see in screen, not the whole image...

[Flashcoders] Problem with xml.sendAndLoad, IE, https, and ASP
All, I'm working on a project in which a SWF uses xml.sendAndLoad to send a short XML document to an ASP page. The ASP page receives the XML, parses it, pulls out a few pieces of data, runs a query against a database, and returns a longer XML document. Everything works perfectly when I run the app over http. However, when I run the app over https, it doesn't work (I can't tell if it can't call the ASP page, or the ASP page doesn't respond, but it does fail immediately). A few notes: - the SWF and ASP page are in the same subdirectory, so it's not a cross-domain issue - the SWF doesn't include any absolute references, so I haven't hardcoded http anywhere in the actionscript - strangely - the entire process works perfectly in Firefox. It only fails in IE - the entire process also works perfectly if I run the app in the Flash IDE, and call the ASP page over https - if I comment out ALL of the logic/code in the ASP page, so that it just uses Response.write to send back a simple XML document, it still fails. So, it's not a problem with the ASP - it's a problem with the SWF/ASP communication. Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions, advice on why this is the case, or how to fix it?

Re: [Flashcoders] Should Flash CS3 Pro result in larger SWF and EXE files than Flash 8?
All, I just wanted to thank everyone for these responses. Cheers, Matt On 8/22/07, Martin Jonasson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, I've also noticed this. The CS3 projector is a bit bigger. But it's really not all that odd since it has both the AS3 and AS2 virtual machines inside. /martin matt stuehler wrote: All, I recently switched from Flash 8 Pro to Flash CS3 Pro. I just noticed today that my published SWFs and EXEs are considerably larger when I publish them with CS3 than they were when published from F8, even though the FLAs are the same. In other words, I took an FLA that was saved as a CS3 file. When published, the SWF was 980kb, and the EXE was 3,423kb. I saved the FLA as a Flash 8 file (since it doesn't us AS3 or any CS3 functions), republished, and the SWF was 879kb and the EXE was only 2,434kb. That's a pretty big difference (~30% for the EXE), for exactly the same functionality. I can live with the Adobe bloat in the CS3 IDE, but I didn't think that it was going to cost me in terms of the resulting SWF filesize. Has anyone else noticed this? Am I making a mistake, or missing a publish option? Many thanks in advance for your advice and insight.

[Flashcoders] Recording Webcam - not enough keyframes
Hello: I need to generate keyframes inside an FLV. I'm doing a small web app that records the webcam onto a Red5 server. I need the resulting FLV files on the server to have at least 2 keyframes per second. I'm using *setMode*, *setQuality* and *setKeyFrameInterval* to attempt to control the quality and framerate of the uploaded video When I record within a LAN, everything is fine. I get a lot of keyframes on my FLV files. But when I record on the internet (e.g. 128kbps upstream) I get keyframes every 5 or 6 seconds. I know I can't challenge physics, so I think there's a way to generate additional keyframes on the server side FLV. I don't care if the file size is increased because I'm planning to download the files via HTTP. I just need to be able to jump from any second to any other second, and I belive I need 1 keyframe per second to achieve that. I know Flash Media Server has the enhanced seek feature that forces the server to generate keyframes on demand, so it is possible to seek to any given frame in the video. Anyway i think this feature only works when playing back a video via rtmp. So what I actually need is a way to generate keyframes inside an FLV file that was previously recorded. I can be a process that runs after a video was recorded. Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT]Server-side knowledge to complement Flash F ront end
Hi, another option is making sure you have a pool of people who you can count to do work like that for you:). Not that being able to develop the server side is a bad thing, but like you said there are only so much hours in a day. greetz JC On 8/23/07, Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would suggest WebServices as a technology that will be applicable to lots of applications. Axis from Apache has a lot of tools, documentation and links to other documentation. You will need to choose a platform from which to run web services, and your choices are basically the same as they are for web applications - ASP.NET, ColdFusion, Java, etc. In addition, a sound understanding of web application server programming is a prerequisite for web service development.
