[Flashcoders] Detecting if authoring mode (Flash 8 AS2)
Is there a property or function to detect if a Flash movie is being tested
in authoring mode or live on the web?
Basically I have added a random variable to my xml file when loading it to
prevent caching.
The following works in both authoring and when live
myXML.load(xml/homeFlashContent.xml);
Whereas the following including the cache busting code doesn't work when
tested within Flash IDE.
my_Date = new Date();
myXML.load(xml/homeFlashContent.xml?+my_Date.getUTCSeconds());
I would therefore like to have an if statement something like
If (boolAuthoringMode == true) {
myXML.load(xml/homeFlashContent.xml);
} else {
myXML.load(xml/homeFlashContent.xml?+my_Date.getUTCSeconds());
}
If there are any better solutions please let me know.
Thanks
Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] FPS question
Also = try to redraw as little of the screen as possible from frame to frame. If your entire screen is constantly redrawing, that takes a lot of processing power. So alpha fades that affect the entire screen or moving/animating a sprite which covers the entire screen are problems. The Flash Debug Player has a right-click context menu option called something like Show Redraw Areas (I forget). HTH, Ian P.S. There's a bug in FP9+ - possibly still in 10, I can't remember. Calling setChildIndex() forces the entire display to be redrawn. On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 11:49 PM, Karl DeSaulniers k...@designdrumm.com wrote: Perfect thank you...

Hi Paul,
Take a look at System.capabilities.playerType.
System.capabilities.playerType==External means you're running in the IDE.
System.capabilities.playerType==Plugin means you're running in a browser.
HTH,
Ian

Hi,
I have used the _root.url variable before to detect whether it is
an http or a file based one and done caching based on that.

[Flashcoders] Proof of Concept - HTTPService object doesn't require crossdomain-policy file
Hi, thanks for all the response to my question about the crossdomain.xml. But... I didn't get a lot of response to the fact that HTTPService can access public feeds/content on other sites without the need of a crossdomain.xml Please check out the code included at the end of this post. I've created a small AIR application (with a certificate) and it works without a problem. Am I missing something? But again.. if my Flash app isn't allowed to access content on another site, I can always throw together a simple php-script that extracts the content for me that my Flash then can read... And then I can go ahead and create my evil banner ad. ;-) I understand that crossdomain policy files are here to stay. I just don't understand why they don't allow me to access content on other domains that I can access in other ways and then pass on to Flash. -- Johan Nyberg Web Guide Partner Engelbrektsplan 1 114 34 Stockholm 08 - 50 00 24 30 070 - 407 83 00 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Oops.. forgot to include the code. Proof of Concept - HTTPService
Johan - from memory, I'm not sure AIR needs the crossdomain file,
whereas browser-based Flash does.
That might explain the discrepancy.
(That is from memory, though - probably needs doublechecking...)

Re: [Flashcoders] Proof of Concept - HTTPServiceobjectdoesn't require crossdomain-policy file
Looking at the flash player security model, a projector has a local security sandbox while a browser launched swf has a security sandbox that includes it's own domain, so this would explain why your projector would be restricted.

Re: [Flashcoders] Proof of Concept - HTTPService objectdoesn't require crossdomain-policy file
Hi, It's an AS2 Flash application running standalone on Linux requesting stuff from the localhost on various ports - the irritating thing is I still have to implement x-domain files / responses on every port I connect to, I tried setting a policy server up on the default port as per the instructions on the devnet site, but this did not work.. My point is that the standalone Flash application is an exe, like Air, so implies that a higher level of trust is required to run it, therefore it should be allowed more liberty than a browser based Flash app. This is one of the most irritating things about doing standalone stuff - I can't load files from the file system because I am requesting over the network. I am doing standalone because this is legacy stuff for a kiosk... Glen Paul Andrews wrote: Is this a projector or an AIR application?

I have the following code and it works half. I am using a switch case to

doing it. I post my code below, and would have some advice.

var CHAR_ONLY:int = 4;
var RESTRICTION:int = NUM_ONLY ;

}

switch(RESTRICTION){

Hi Paul,
Take a look at System.capabilities.playerType.
System.capabilities.playerType==External means you're running in the
IDE.
System.capabilities.playerType==Plugin means you're running in a
browser.
HTH,

Is there a property or function to detect if a Flash movie is being tested
in authoring mode or live on the web?
Basically I have added a random variable to my xml file when loading it to
prevent caching.
The following works in both authoring and when live
myXML.load(xml/homeFlashContent.xml);
Whereas the following including the cache busting code doesn't work when
tested within Flash IDE.
my_Date = new Date();
myXML.load(xml/homeFlashContent.xml?+my_Date.getUTCSeconds());
I would therefore like to have an if statement something like
If (boolAuthoringMode == true) {
myXML.load(xml/homeFlashContent.xml);
} else {
myXML.load(xml/homeFlashContent.xml?+my_Date.getUTCSeconds());
}
If there are any better solutions please let me know.
Thanks
Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] Bitwise selection
Jiri,
if() isn't too bad, especially since you will possibly want to permit
multiple restrictions (like numbers /and/ letters, or Latin letters
plus umlauts). If you use if() and combine that with appending to the
restriction instead of setting it (+= instead of =), you gain
flexibility. That way, you could also split lower case and upper case
letter restrictions, and introduce a case insensitive restriction that
is set to (UPPER_CASE | LOWER_CASE) -- it would have both bits set, so
it would hit for both tests and append the restrictions to the a-z
A-Z you already have now. That's just one example, the idea is not
to have a fixed number of selections, but groups that you can switch
on bit by bit, plus some predefined combinations (like the case
insensitive letter example) for convenience.
Also, don't test (restriction 2), but (restriction NUM_ONLY). That
way, it's more readable, and you don't have to change all 2s if you
decide to reorder your flags. Even more pedantic :), test
((restriction NUM_ONLY) == NUM_ONLY) so you don't run into problems
if you want to have flags that have multiple bits set later on.

[Flashcoders] as3 rollover rolloff issue..
So basically I have a bunch of thumbnail images set up in a grid form, each is the same movieclip just multiple instances of it. This movie clip has a rollover and rolloff state that basically scales the image up, this is done with external as that loops through and creates the event listeners for each one. If i roll over a movie clip and then roll off at normal speed, everything works as intended, the old one scales down to normal size, and then new one scales up. The issue comes when you quickly roll off and then back on. The movieclip gets stuck in scaling down to about half way. Any ideas on how to fix this? Also I dont want to remove all of the event listeners for the other clips until it scales back down because it would take away from the visual effect. thank you! -- Preston Parris ppar...@modevisual.com cell: 704.450.9299 www.modevisual.com ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] as3 rollover rolloff issue..
Preston, There are two possible issues: 1. The scaled image is overlapping other scaled images and messing up your chain of events fired 2. The tween method you are using to scale is not being properly terminated and restarted/triggered. (How are you scaling the images?) I would start by putting a trace action on both my event handlers for each image (maybe tracing image name/id # for clarity) and seeing what the output is: if everything happens in the expected order then I would look towards blaming #2. -jonathan On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 10:24 AM, Preston Parris prestonpar...@gmail.comwrote: So basically I have a bunch of thumbnail images set up in a grid form, each is the same movieclip just multiple instances of it.

RE: [Flashcoders] Bitwise selection
Jiri has gotten some good answers. I got to work late today after working until 11:30 last night meeting my 5:00 deadline :-P I did occur to me that a fair number of us may not completely grok bitwise stuff. That's computer science stuff, and a lot of us got here by other routes-I see a lot of C programmers doing bitwise stuff, but relatively few AS programmers (at least, we don't talk about it a lot). Still, it can be blazingly fast, so when you have a need for speed, they are great. So I thought I'd talk a little about bit operations. If you already understand them, no need to read further (unless you wish to check my accuracy). First, the basics. We all probably know this, but a byte is no more than a series of on-off switches, or bits--eight of them on most modern computers. On is represented by 1, off by 0. So, a byte with every other bit on would be 10101010. When you do a bitwise operation, you are comparing bits. The bitwise OR operator, | , compares bits. If either of them is on (1), the result is 1. If both are off (0), the result is 0. Consider the following: 120 | 96 Compares 10101010 and 0110, giving the result 11101010 (234 decimal). Visually, this may help: 10101010 0110 11101010 We get that result because the | operator compares each bit. If either of them is on, the result is 1 for that bit. The AND operator is similar in that it compares bit by bit, but both bits have to be on to get a 1 result. Comparing the same two numbers as before, 120 96, gives you the result 0010, or 32 decimal. 10101010 0110 00101010 Sometimes we use these as flags, where every bit can represent a Boolean value. They also can be used for fast math operations (check out http://lab.polygonal.de/2007/05/10/bitwise-gems-fast-integer-math/ This barely scratches the surface of bitwise operators and their power, but I hope it intrigues some of you enough to pursue it further.

Re: [Flashcoders] Proof of Concept - HTTPService objectdoesn't requirecrossdomain-policy file
I haven't really looked into the differences between standalone and AIR - haven't created a projector in years - but my guess is that because you have to install an AIR application (and are therefor informed/warned about the risks that entails) it is allowed to do more than a standalone executable (projector). So basically there are 3 different player security models: - Standalone - AIR - Browser plugin Here's an article explaining the AIR security model: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/introduction_to_air_security.html @Johan: Please check out the code included at the end of this post. I've created a small AIR application (with a certificate) and it works without a problem. Am I missing something? Yes, as I explained earlier, this has nothing to do with HTTPService. This is about different sandboxes: standalone, AIR and the browser. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Glen Pike g...@engineeredarts.co.uk To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2009 11:54 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Proof of Concept - HTTPService objectdoesn't requirecrossdomain-policy file Hi, It's an AS2 Flash application running standalone on Linux requesting stuff from the localhost on various ports - the irritating thing is I still have to implement x-domain files / responses on every port I connect to, I tried setting a policy server up on the default port as per the instructions on the devnet site, but this did not work.. My point is that the standalone Flash application is an exe, like Air, so implies that a higher level of trust is required to run it, therefore it should be allowed more liberty than a browser based Flash app. This is one of the most irritating things about doing standalone stuff - I can't load files from the file system because I am requesting over the network. I am doing standalone because this is legacy stuff for a kiosk... Glen ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Bitwise selection
Nice, that you took the time to write that post. It is much appreciated. Jiri Kerry Thompson wrote: Jiri has gotten some good answers. I got to work late today after working until 11:30 last night meeting my 5:00 deadline :-P I did occur to me that a fair number of us may not completely grok bitwise stuff. That's computer science stuff, and a lot of us got here by other routes-I see a lot of C programmers doing bitwise stuff, but relatively few AS programmers (at least, we don't talk about it a lot). Still, it can be blazingly fast, so when you have a need for speed, they are great. So I thought I'd talk a little about bit operations. If you already understand them, no need to read further (unless you wish to check my accuracy). First, the basics. We all probably know this, but a byte is no more than a series of on-off switches, or bits--eight of them on most modern computers. On is represented by 1, off by 0. So, a byte with every other bit on would be 10101010. When you do a bitwise operation, you are comparing bits. The bitwise OR operator, | , compares bits. If either of them is on (1), the result is 1. If both are off (0), the result is 0. Consider the following: 120 | 96 Compares 10101010 and 0110, giving the result 11101010 (234 decimal). Visually, this may help: 10101010 0110 11101010 We get that result because the | operator compares each bit. If either of them is on, the result is 1 for that bit. The AND operator is similar in that it compares bit by bit, but both bits have to be on to get a 1 result. Comparing the same two numbers as before, 120 96, gives you the result 0010, or 32 decimal. 10101010 0110 00101010 Sometimes we use these as flags, where every bit can represent a Boolean value. They also can be used for fast math operations (check out http://lab.polygonal.de/2007/05/10/bitwise-gems-fast-integer-math/ This barely scratches the surface of bitwise operators and their power, but I hope it intrigues some of you enough to pursue it further.

Jiri wrote: Nice, that you took the time to write that post. It is much appreciated. Thanks, Jiri. One other thing worth mentioning is that an integer is actually 4 bytes, so you have 32 bits. I kept my example to one byte for simplicity. If you want to do operations on a single byte, you can use ByteArray elements. Other bitwise operators to check out are XOR (exclusive OR, which means one or the other is on, but not both) and shift operators and to check the value of a particular bit.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flashplayer positioning
Hi, There is stuff offstage, but I am not sure if it is in a guide layer or not - will check later. Why this would happen in FP10 and not 9 though??

Re: [Flashcoders] Flashplayer positioning
not sure, maybe FP10 defaults to a different stage alignment. Maybe try explicity stating the stage alignment and see if that fixes it. - Taka On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 11:16 AM, Glen Pike postmas...@glenpike.co.uk wrote: Hi, There is stuff offstage, but I am not sure if it is in a guide layer or not - will check later.

[Flashcoders] id3 runtime error
I have a bug that is driving me nuts. I am loading an mp3 file from the same server as my swf. About 1 in 30 tries when trying to reading the id3 tags after the ID3 event I get a runtime error telling me I need to load the crossdomain policy file in order to access the tags. I tried setting the checkpolicyfile flag to true and placing a valid crossdomain.xml on the server but the error occurs with the same frequency. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
