Re: [Flashcoders] E4X filtering strange behaviour
Why not use "toXMLString()":
trace("result: "+xmlListSearch.toXMLString());
When I add more than one node with "Dark" in the title attribute it
finds it with "toString()".
I've always used "toXMLString()" so I was unaware of this.

RE: [Flashcoders] E4X filtering strange behaviour
I was told on Flexcoders that using @string instead of
attribute("string") can be problematic because an error will result if
the attribute is missing in the node of the XML. Using attribute()
won't throw any errors if the attribute is missing in the XML node, and
in most cases (depending on what you're doing) is prefereable to @.

Yes that's that :)
Anyway in your case you know the incoming XML schema so you
shouldn't use wildcard "*" - I think wildcards have serious
performance hits.
i.e. "theXML.topics.topic." should be used rather than "theXML..*."

[Flashcoders] [AS3] Font Sharing between SWFs
I am running into a small issue, everything is working correctly in my application except for the Font sharing between SWFs. If I embed the font in all the SWFs everything works as expected but of course this is not what I need since it will add weight to other SWFs and defeat the purpose of using a SWF as a "library". This seems to be similar to the AS2 issue where you had to embed the components in all the child SWFs that needed the components when using it accross files. Here is some code: var fontItem = Utils.getFontFromLibrary ( DATA.library, "FontFace" ); trace(fontItem); // output : [class FontFace] iFont = new fontItem() as Font ; trace(iFont); // output : [object FontFace] later in the application: font.fontName // output : Frutiger 55 Roman Any suggestions? TIA.. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] E4X filtering strange behaviour
If I may repeat myself "I don't think you need "g" (Global flag) for
this." :)
The reason is, I quote from the doc, "If the g (global) flag is set for
the regular expression, then the search starts at the index position
specified by the lastIndex property of the regular expression. If the
search matches a substring, the lastIndex property changes to match the
position of the end of the match. "
To prove this point, if I do something like:
//
var re:RegExp;
re = new RegExp("The", "gi"); // with global flag
for each(var prop1:XML in testXML.topics.topic){
trace(re.lastIndex, " - ", [EMAIL PROTECTED], " - ",
re["test"]([EMAIL PROTECTED]));
}
trace("***");
re = new RegExp("The", "i"); // without global flag
for each(var prop2:XML in testXML.topics.topic){
trace(re.lastIndex, " - ", [EMAIL PROTECTED], " - ",
re["test"]([EMAIL PROTECTED]));
}
//
I'd get:
0 - Coldplay's New Album, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends -
false
0 - The Dark Knight - true
3 - Arrested Development, The Movie - true
25 - Band Of Horses: Everything All The Time - true
34 - Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World - true
41 - The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog - false
0 - Violet Hill - false
***
0 - Coldplay's New Album, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends -
false
0 - The Dark Knight - true
0 - Arrested Development, The Movie - true
0 - Band Of Horses: Everything All The Time - true
0 - Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World - true
0 - The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog - true
0 - Violet Hill - false
With global flag RegExp will not find "the" in "The Quick Brown Fox
Jumped Over The Lazy Dog" because it looks for "the" from the character
41 onwards, namely "Dog", which has no "the".

Re: [Flashcoders] E4X filtering strange behaviour
Indeed, the "g" seems to make it not work. Not a big problem, since it's
useless in this case - the "g" flag in a test() call makes the search start
at a specified index (lastIndex property)
What may have confused you, Jason, is the example Robert posted fixed your
problem (by removing the "^" character from the regexp - the "^" when the
first character on a regexp means "match at the start of the line"), and
also added the "g" flag, which is not quite what you wanted. So just drop it
and it will work ;)
Side note: I really hate the re["test"](...) kind of syntax, so here goes my
suggestion:
(re as RegExp).test(...)

OK, so this is almost there, but not quite. If I do as Kenneth
suggested (and this should be able to be reproduced),
var testXML:XML =
;
var re:RegExp = new RegExp("^"+searchInput.text); var
xmlListSearch:XMLList = testXML.topics.topic.(re["test"](@title));
trace("result: "+xmlListSearch.toXMLString());
(Assuming there is a TextInput text field on the stage and a function
run when a button is clicked to run the regex search), if I enter the
search
term, "The", it only returns the second node containing "The Dark Knight",
not the third topic node, which has a "The" in it's title attribute as
well.
If I put "Dark", it doesn't return anything. So it seems it's only
searching nodes where the search term is the first item.
How can I modify the regular expression above to find all nodes
containing an element of the search term?

Hi Jason,
This works for me:
var testXML:XML =

var re:RegExp = new RegExp(searchInput.text, "g");
var xmlListSearch:XMLList = testXML.topics.topic.(re["test"](@title));
trace("result: "+xmlListSearch.toXMLString());

[Flashcoders] RE: Loop creator
I'm looking into building a loop manipulator application. I basically want to take 10 preset loops and place them on a time track. Each, loop can be placed before or after another loop. I then want to combine the entire track and export as an mp3, is this possible via ActionScript, or do I need another language to encode MP3's?

Yes that's that :)
Anyway in your case you know the incoming XML schema so you shouldn't
use wildcard "*" - I think wildcards have serious performance hits.
i.e. "theXML.topics.topic." should be used rather than "theXML..*."

The code was based on your example and therefore we know the XML

"title".
If we don't know anything about the XML we could do something like:
var xmlListSearch:XMLList =

Kenneth - no, what I mean is, your examples aren't pointing to any XML
instance at all (that I could see anyway, maybe you could point it out),
so how in the world can the AVM know what you're referring to in order
to search though and make an XMLList from?

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Loop Creator ( Dynamic Sound )
Hi Anthony, Didn't I already reply to this? In any case - this version of the question is slightly expanded. :-) Yes, it's possible with ByteArrays, however there is no native MP3 encoding built into Flash Player, so writing code to join and then export a bunch of MP3s together is tricky (and even if you port the LAME encoder or something, I doubt the AS3 performance will be what you want). I'd suggest doing the stitching together of the MP3 serverside - there are plenty of serverside technologies that can handle it - and simply use the Flash client to lay out a 'preview' version using loops.

Hi Anthony, It's definitely possible - the easiest way to do it is if the actual combination of loops/export to MP3 is done server-side (by non-Flash code) and then the user downloads it.
