Re: [Flashcoders] How much bytes ActionScript classes take in SWF?

[Pavel Repkin]

Thanks, Juan, this is exactly what I'm looking for!
Does flex compiler work with ActionScript 2.0?
I forgot to mention that we are working with 2.0.

[Pavel Repkin]

Yes, but does not display how much does packages or individual classes take.
Just tells how much ActionScript code takes.

What Actionscript editor are you using?



Cs3


That could be why. I would recommend you switch coding over to an  
editor

with better code hinting and other capabilities like the FlashDevleop,
which is a free download, and the best free Actionscript editor for
Windows out there.

Re: [Flashcoders] Interesting problem - doesn't work without call to trace.

[Taka Kojima]

Hey Tim,

I have run into this before as well, with both ActionScript and using
alert() in JavaScript.

What I concluded was that the trace/alert basically adds a small pause
or causes something to happen (i.e. skip a frame or something of the
sort) so that the code below it works.

I may be totally wrong and this may sound crazy and stupid, but
whenever I did something like take the trace out and put the rest of
the code into a COMPLETE event for a timer, or had the code run on the
next frame with an onEnterFrame, it started working.

I know you say you don't think its a timing issue, but instead of the
loop try doing a Timer and see if that solves it.

 Does it make a difference if you write the trace as :

 trace("formData="+formData);
 trace("select1:"+ select1);

[Flashcoders] ShareThis issue..

[artur]

is there a way to dynamically set the Title or Content data for ShareThis?


*ActionScript*

*private* *function* onClick():*void*

{

ExternalInterface.call (*"ShareThis_set",”Title”*);

ExternalInterface.call (*"ShareThis_share"*);

}

*JavaScript*

var ShareObj = SHARETHIS.addEntry({ }, {button:false, popup:true});


function ShareThis_set(value)

{

ShareObj.properties.title = value;

}

function ShareThis_share()

{

ShareObj.popup();

}

I am setting the title property from ActionScript calling the 
ShareThis_set function and passing “Title”.

This property is set (I tested it).
But, when I popup the shareThis window, that property is empty (I see 
this when I receive the e-mail).

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVariables - Pipe character is being URL Encoded?

[Lou Klepner]

Thanks Ben - Its nice to know whats happening behind the scenes.

Good point about fixing the web server - I've managed to convince the  
vendor they should clean up their web service, so the pipe character,  
which is encoded as %7c, is now being properly recognized - woo!


Thanks again!

Do you mean LoadVars or MovieClip.loadVariables?

If LoadVars, then yes, but it isn't very nice. LoadVars.send()  
probably

calls LoadVars.toString(), which definitely calls _global.escape().
Redefine _global.escape:

_global.escape = function(str) { return str; };

And when you call LoadVars.send(), the string won't be encoded
(at all), and neither will anything else unless you restore it to what
it was.

A similar thing likely applies to MovieClip.loadVariables.

Of course, a better way would be to fix the server.

Re: [Flashcoders] Just a quick one

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Sry about the up front info. I have tried using a blank movieClip, but  
it still doesn't work. The issue I think is that the class creates an  
MC called "raw" to load the bitmap data and then deletes it to create  
"img" where it draws the bitmap for smoothing. Some where between, I  
am not getting the w&h of "img"

Looking at Martijn's source-code, it looks a little like you're
loading the image into a MovieClip that you've already created with a
specific width and height, which is causing your problem. I'd try
loading the image into a blank MovieClip instead (e.g. via
createEmptyMovieClip(), or just into something on the timeline with no

Heh, yeah sorry Todd.  

And by the way, in case anyone was wondering, Dave Watts spend a lot of
time with me off list helping me get my copy of Flexbuilder 3 working
again.  Turns out there were two causes to the memory problem.  The
magic solution was to change the xms setting in my flexbuilder.ini file

uses from 1.5 to 1.6.  

Hope that helps somebody.

Re: [Flashcoders] formal qualifications

[Pedro Kostelec]

"So it really depends on what kind of company/entity you want to work
for.  In many cases, you won't need it, but possessing degrees and
certifications would never of course be a negative factor."
The "could never be a negative factor" is country related. I
most countries it is true, but in some (e.g. Slovenia) the salary is related
to the degree and if they don't really need someone with a high degree, they
will rather employ the one with the lower degree.

Look for the property called contentLoaderInfo on the instance of your
Loader class.

[Flashcoders] AS 2.0, checking allowFullScreen inside action script

[Pavel Repkin]

Hey!

Fullscreen mode feature can be enabled/disabled with allowFullScreen
attribute of the embed/object tag.

Is it possible to know inside action script code if the fullscreen mode is
allowed .

I want to hide fullscreen button in my app if fullscreen mode is not
available.

Re: [Flashcoders] Interesting problem - doesn't work without call to trace.

[Tim Hawkins]

Well, it becomes a null - so if I do select1.toString() in the trace I just
get a runtime error.. And I don't want to turn the results of my query into
a string, because I need it as an XML ref.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to smooth bitmap?

[Pavel Repkin]

Because of the very very security issue I cannot use this code.
You are not allowed to use BitmapData.draw to retrieve pixels containing
media from a domain other than your own.

Re: [Flashcoders] Interesting problem - doesn't work without call to trace.

[Tim Hawkins]

Hi Matt,
No, afraid not.. I actually use the select1 variable elsewhere, so it's not
just that trace which is the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Re: [Flashcoders] Smart Preloading

it has to be one file...

For now we'll use the solution of adding each level-compiledclip to a 
frame.. and making a loaderClass to see if the framesLoaded has eached the 
level yet.. when it's needed.

 Hi,



 There are a couple of sequential preloaders out there on the web - 
I

think greensock did on, but not 100% sure.

 It's possible that you can use these preload a list of movie clips 
in

the background.  I wrote my own before finding queuing loader before
seeing
the others, so I don't know if they implement the same 
functionality:

to
interrupt the preloading queue when a specific "level" is requested
and put
the loading of that to the front of the queue.  If you are not
stopping the
things caching in the browser, you might take a small hit re-loading
the
required level if it has not reloaded, but that is all.

 HTH a bit

Thought the LoaderInfo only reffers to the mc's owner.

Goal is to preload each game level seperately when it is needed.(if
it

RE: [Flashcoders] formal qualifications

[Merrill, Jason]

I think it all depends on what type of company you want to work for.
Some places will be looking for people with certain kinds of educational
degrees, some will not.  Since my group at Bank of America does
multimedia for learning/training purposes, we look for formalized
degrees in instructional technology in addition to their multimedia and
programming skills.  It really does help in my field.  Other places
really don't care, they just want someone who has an impressive
portfolio, skillset and a passion.  Some companies who get work by
obtaining contracts with say, other companies or the U.S. Government
will want people with degrees, especially graduate degrees because they
are in turn trying to "sell" their employee's skillset they are offering
if they get the work, in order to win the contract.  But take a company
that develops online games - they would probably rather have someone who
has experience developing games, mad programming skills, graphic design
skills, bow hunting skills, etc. than someone who has a formal degree in
computer science.  That said, if you were the hiring manager for a
company like Google, and you were comparing two resumes and they are
both identical in every way, programming, work experience, multimedia
community involvement, graphic design portfolio, etc. etc. and other
factors were the same and the only difference was one had a master's
degree in computer science, the candidate with the degree would have the
advantage.  

So it really depends on what kind of company/entity you want to work
for.  In many cases, you won't need it, but possessing degrees and
certifications would never of course be a negative factor.

Re: [Flashcoders] Just a quick one

[Ashim D'Silva]

If you're using Loader to load images, both w&h of the image itself
and that of the Loader should be the same.
Sometime however, I do like taking out the data if I'm going to play
with it at bitmapData level.

Bitmap(loader.content).bitmapData

If you get the w&h of the resulting bitmap data, that's the images
actual dimensions.

If you're loading an SWF however, I think contentLoaderInfo contains
the nominated width, height, framerate etc. All of which can change
anyway.

I've come across this a few times in my own code, but haven't seen it
mentioned online - though it's a difficult thing to google for.

In the following function, if the trace at the top is present, formData
traces a load of XML and select1 also traces a load of XML.

If I comment out the top trace, formData still traces the same pile of XML
but select1 traces null!

public function testMakeModelFilterWorks():void {

 trace("");
 default xml namespace  = NAMESPACE;

var select1:XML = formData..select1[2];
trace("formData=", formData);
 trace("select1:", select1);

// etc
default xml namespace = null;
}

Any ideas? I'm getting fed up of leaving 'trace("");//don't delete me' at
the top of functions.
(I don't think it's a timing thing, if I put a 10-item
increment-a-variable loop in there instead of a trace the E4X still fails.)

Oh.. Flex (3) compiler, not a flash IDE.

[Flashcoders] formal qualifications

[allandt bik-elliott (thefieldcomic.com)]

Hey guys

I'm one of those flash coders that has come into the industry by starting as
an enthusiast while doing print for a living and realising that i had more
affinity with actionscript than many of the people i was talking to in
digital departments and going full-time but I don't have any formal
quailifications.

Do you think it's worth going back to school to get the title, even tho i've
been working in the industry as a full-time programmer for a few years now
or not? And how many of the fc'ers have formal programming/design
qualifications?

The reason I ask is the recent job listing for a senior level flash
programmer on this list that had accepted and preferred qualifications even
though a lot of the syntax that you can learn would be irrelevant within 3/4
years of starting work (tho many of the theory behind them would probably be
valid for a while)?


thanks a lot

i must admit, i still add internal (non-added on frame 1) assets to a frame
(after my preloader) and goto a frame after that when the xml, css, external
assets etc are all loaded. It's probably frowned upon but it works and i've

[Flashcoders] Interesting problem - doesn't work without call to trace.

[Tim Hawkins]

Hi,
I've come across this a few times in my own code, but haven't seen it
mentioned online - though it's a difficult thing to google for.

In the following function, if the trace at the top is present, formData
traces a load of XML and select1 also traces a load of XML.

If I comment out the top trace, formData still traces the same pile of XML
but select1 traces null!

public function testMakeModelFilterWorks():void {

 trace("");
 default xml namespace  = NAMESPACE;

var select1:XML = formData..select1[2];
trace("formData=", formData);
 trace("select1:", select1);

// etc
default xml namespace = null;
}

Any ideas? I'm getting fed up of leaving 'trace("");//don't delete me' at
the top of functions.
(I don't think it's a timing thing, if I put a 10-item
increment-a-variable loop in there instead of a trace the E4X still fails.)

Re: [Flashcoders] Just a quick one

Let's try that again - perhaps I wasn't clear.

I'm assuming - from your first email - you're using a flash.display.Loader?

Look for the property called contentLoaderInfo on the instance of your
Loader class.

Documentation here:

This is an imageLoader class that smooths dynamic images.

This loads the initial image into a MC, then deletes it, then draws

You are not allowed to use BitmapData.draw to retrieve pixels

Hey!

I have a bitmap image loaded from external site (Facebook user

Its size is 50x50 pixels and it looks very pixelated when the

size changes.
The image would look much better if it was smoothed.

But, smoothing does not work for images loaded from external  
domains.

MovieClip.forceSmoothing = true just does not work.
However if the image resides on the same server as the script,  
smoothing

works like a charm.

Do you know how can I smooth the bitmap?
Is it possible?

Re: [Flashcoders] Smart Preloading

[Dennis - I Sioux]

Hey Allandt,

Thanks for your reply.

I already found that one.. it was linked to from the earlier mentioned 
Greensock.

Seems like that one can't load mc's from the library aswell..

I actually want to switch of the "load before 1st" .. and when entering a 
new level.. load the level clips..(if not already loaded).


The UILoader mentions that it can load mc's aswell (at the source 
property).. but there isn't any example on how to do it.. and the logical 
ways aren't working.


Thanks

Sorry, it's a SWF preloader.  As for preloading clips in the library,
that's not what it's for..

Hey Glen,

Greensock isn't for preloading movieclips right?
The swf's own movieclips in his library..

Or has it got an option for that?

 Hi,


  There are a couple of sequential preloaders out there on the web - I
think greensock did on, but not 100% sure.

  It's possible that you can use these preload a list of movie clips in
the background.  I wrote my own before finding queuing loader before 
seeing
the others, so I don't know if they implement the same functionality: 
to
interrupt the preloading queue when a specific "level" is requested and 
put
the loading of that to the front of the queue.  If you are not stopping 
the
things caching in the browser, you might take a small hit re-loading 
the

required level if it has not reloaded, but that is all.

  HTH a bit

Hey,

Tried to use a UILoader to check the bytes loaded of a single
movieclip(in the library).. but this isn't working.
Has anyone got a suggestion to check the loaded bytes of an mc?

Thought the LoaderInfo only reffers to the mc's owner.

Goal is to preload each game level seperately when it is needed.(if it
hasn't loaded while playing the previous level yet).

With kind regards,
