Re: [Flashcoders] flashdevelop
Latcho, you deserve credit for doing the honourable thing here. I am puzzled as to why free carries so much weight. Do we expect Adobe employees to work for free, so that we can make money using their products? Do many coders here work for free? Probably not, so why not pay for the tools we want and properly support Flash Develop to make it even better. I really like Flex Builder and it's debugger. The debugger alone makes the price worth paying. I can see from peoples' comments that I must give Flash Develop a proper try. John Latcho wrote: As a sponsor ( http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/index.php?title=FlashDevelop:Site_support ) and an addict user of FlashDevelop I hope some people ( read FD users) fund the project so the dev team has some extra resources / can free some extra time to implement debugging / refactoring; I can mis debugging for now, but it would make the tool complete and even more top notch. I love the snappy-ness of the thang. The (autocomplete) speed I saw at my team with Eclipse+FDT+osX-1GB-mac is in no way comparable. Anyways, it makes my life complete. I am in no way affiliated; It's just a call. Hope the list of sponsors/users starts growing. Again thanks to the FD team for this great free snappy IDE.

For a short period, I worked on a Linux (Debian) box at work, because the machine I got happened to had Debian installed and my boss, a Linux fan, insisted that I should try it. At the time FlashDevelop was my main editor, so I had to run some Sun VM that booted a virtual windows. I also use the Flash IDE on a daily basis. Mostly for minor editing, but I need to run Flash almost every day. It was naturally slow and some shortcuts wouldn't work, which was a pain. I'd spend most of the time using Windows on the VM, so it made no sense and I soon gave up and installed Windows XP. I'm one of the retardeds using Flex Builder for AS coding ;). It has its pitfalls and I do miss some FD features, which I used almost exclusively for a long year. But now I can't live without a debugger that actually works, something I missed for years; and a passable profiler, which is not so great for measuring performance, IMO, but is invaluable when you're looking / testing for memory leaks. Once you learn to use it, the profilers that basically output System.totalMemory look like a bad joke. I hope some day they finally get around to add a GUI debugger to FD; having a nice profiler wouldn't hurt, either. But for now, I'd choose FB any day.

I installed Parallels 3 with Windows XP and figured out how to use FlashDevelop in my workflow there. I *love* Expose and Spaces. However, they are easier to live without than FlashDevelop. FDT and FlexBuilder both suck ass as Actionscript editors compared to FlashDevelop. I cannot live without FlashDevelop. Period. Anyone who has spent any serious time with it knows that it isn't an option. The day they get it working on the Mac is the day Flex Builder (ahem, Flash Builder) sales see a significant drop. The only reason so many people buy Flex Builder for Mac is because FlashDevelop is currently PC-only. Actionscript coding in Eclipse is retarded.

RE: [Flashcoders] buttons not able to control movieclip's timeline
Isaac,
You need to enclose each if block with braces {}.
You can only get away without them when there is only one line of code to
execute following the if. Without the braces your function simply outputs
the trace() (depending which button is pressed) but will run
container.prevFrame(); AND container.nextFrame(); every time no matter which
button is pressed.
function btnContainerClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if (e.target.name == btn_prev){
trace (prev. cf: + container.currentFrame);
//container.gotoAndStop(container.currentFrame - 1);
container.prevFrame();
//container.gotoAndStop(2);
}
if (e.target.name == btn_next){
trace (next. cf: + container.currentFrame);
//container.gotoAndStop(container.currentFrame + 1);
container.nextFrame();
//container.gotoAndStop(5);
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] How to loop an ANT task(s)?
thanks, I did try that but with no luck.
So, im having another issue which seems to be with the mxmlc compiler.
I have imported my swc's as a compiler args as such
compiler.include-libraries dir=${LIBS_DIR} append=true
include name=FlexUnit.swc /
include name=fonts.swc /
include name=userInterfaceSwc.swc /
/compiler.include-libraries
problem im having is inside the userInterfaceSwc I have 3 graphics which I
created in flash that I am using in my UI.
the mxmlc compiler wont compile even though I can compile and run the file
perfectly using FlexBuilder.
Any ideas?

[Flashcoders] Stress-Testing Views - please
Hello Wise List , PROBLEM: when RAPIDLY clicking the BACK FWD browser buttons to load different Views ( via SwfAddress ) 1 component fails to initialize properly. This is how my app works: its an app were the MAIN swf loads different swfs as components which are grouped together as a views, so it loads 1 view at a time. Then the swfAddress sets new parameters , based on that it loads a new view. that process goes like this: 1) set the new view 2) ask for differences between last view and new 3) set to load only new components , if i have one that i need i don remove 4) destroy and clean old components 5) call to load new ones 6) onload of the components handles init() and addChild(). up to here everything works fine, but when i stress-click with history buttons of my browser , then the component breaks , because im setting something to the components when its already changed or im using a procedure that may be conflictive. my questions: how can i implement this scenario in a best way? what are the best practices? im using pureMVC framework internally for the components, or maybe i need another extra pattern like state machine to handle this situation? or can i just tweak my current pattern? thanxs a lot!! :) Juan. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

You can copy the original bounce function from the Equations class and then use it as the transition parameter (like you probably already know). But yeah, you'll need to change the original code to achieve whatever effect you want. Usually tweaking some of the constant numbers is enough to make it bounce the way you want it to, or even apply some of the other equations to change the effect (ie, outExpo on top of the outBounce result makes it look like a thud instead of the default bouncy bounce).

Re: [Flashcoders] bounce easing function for tweener
What I said probably applies to 99% of the tweening engines available out there anyway. PS. Awesome link on that uize tool. I didn't know that. There are some very good equation samples - based on Penner's work but much more flexible to animation use. With some ingenuity the code can probably be easily adapted to tweener/tweenmax/tweenetc. It's GPL though.

Re: [Flashcoders] mac vs pc
You don't have to backspace all the way back to the period when you make a typo in FlexBuilder, you can just backspace the typo, and press control + space and the menu will popup again. Of course it's not as convenient as the FD menu. As for refactoring, find and replace works but the rename function is FlexBuilder is so effortless and I'm very lazy by nature ;-) By the way, can FD do find and replace in all the classes of your project? I don't remember, I haven't used it very much since I started working here on a mac. I've heard that Adobe has included some of the code generation shortcuts from FD in FlashBuilder 4, like event handler and getter / setter generation. Thanks to FD! I've had some auto-complete mishaps with FD on my computer at home. Even after re-installing the program and deleting the local settings files, it still sometimes doesn't auto-import some classes from the flash package and I have to type my import by hand. Weird.

It's well established the debugger is limited to tracing, which is generally good enough for most of the time. I don't know what you mean about better syntax and variable scope across documents. I find the variable scope feature of FlashDevelop to be fantastic. The F4 key is great. If you mean something else, I'm definitely interested. What plug-ins are you talking about specifically that Eclipse has that help with coding Actionscript? I agree the documentation is lacking. I've discovered new features on accident. I keep hearing about the refactoring feature, but how often are you refactoring and how does Find and Replace in Files (CTRL+I) not take care of it? In FB or FDT, if you make a typo, you lose it and you have to start over. This goes for properties and constants, etc. I don't know about you, but while I'm a great typist, I'm not perfect, and FlashDevelop is forgiving and still knows what you want, even if you typo or hit backspace to make a correction, where if you hit the wrong key or backspace in FB or FDT, you lose everything. This is especially a pain with long names. The getter/setter code gen for vars and the event code gen are incredible time savers. The default shortcut isn't very good, but you can change it (I use ALT+2). FlexBuilder and FDT offer live code compiling, which FlashDevelop does not. FDT's lexical parsing is superior to FlexBuilder, as well. However, I find that those features are not worth the speed tradeoff, and I can just compile anytime to see any runtime errors. FlashDevelop's syntax checking is generally good enough. Every developer I know that uses FlashDevelop for about a month can't live without it. Every developer that never has or hasn't learned the time-saving features it has (lack of documentation definitely doesn't help) doesn't really understand how much faster it is to develop in and if you don't have anything to compare it to, FlexBuilder and FDT are much better alternatives to coding on the timeline (ugh). ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders This e-mail is intended only for the named person or entity to which it is addressed and contains valuable business information that is proprietary, privileged, confidential and/or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Re: [Flashcoders] mac vs pc
They're two different functions. You can do a find/replace on a text string in FB or FDT through a project, which works the same as FD, but rename will find all references in the project to the property/class you're renaming and update there. Same net effect 95/100 times, but it's 'smarter' than just find/replace. FDT at least also has move which will update all imports in your project if you change your package structure, which I've found very handy when the projects move just that much faster than the architecture.As far as multiple projects goes, I have more than one open/switch between projects all the time, whether to pinch some code that I haven't had time to make into a library or just the day-to-day client juggling you do as a small biz.

This statement is absolutely incorrect, and a bit baffling. Clearly if it didn't do that stuff nobody would ever use it. FDT does indeed complete all those, and I haven't looked at FB in a while but would be absolutely stunned if that was in fact accurate. The default code hinting is just when you hit dot, but you can configure it to do it more often. This link shows you how to make it so you get code hinting automatically as opposed to when you hit CTRL-Space (tho ctrl-space works to complete the above by default): http://blog.flashmech.net/2008/10/fdt-tip-boost-your-code-assist/ You can also change the delay before code hints appear and make it more FD-like if you want. I guess another part of why I like FDT is that it's highly customizable. So, erm, yeah.

FlexBuilder absolutely does NOT do auto-completion of class, instance and local vars (FD also does function names, etc.). I've never seen FDT do it, either, but that link obviously makes it clear that it is possible (though completely undocumented, not to mention that field doesn't look like it will accept 28 characters). It also says AS2, but does that work for AS3? Why on earth isn't this the default behavior? FDT costs hundreds of dollars, FlashDevelop is free. If you're on Mac, I guess it's the best choice available. Also, FDT is 100% project based. You can't just drag and drop an .as file on to it like you can with FlashDevelop (unless you already have one open). Plus, you don't get ANY auto-completion if the file isn't part of your project.

Re: [Flashcoders] FlexBuilder 3 auto-complete vs. FlashDevelop
That page was old, it does work in AS3. OK, so, burning with curiosity (and a desire to postpone doing the latest batch of client changes), I fired up Flex Builder, created a private var,went into the constructor, hit ctrl-space, and the autocomplete shenanigans triggered. If ya type in the first couple letters, then do it, it autocompletes. So yeah, the difference is merely auto- vs manual-triggering of code completion if there's not a . involved. the Eclipse-based editors (by default, in FDT's case) trigger their code hinting with ctrl-space, where FDT doesn't. How's FD handling vectors these days? I haven't used FD since they became available. FDT's a little wack in that if you have an interface built with, say, Vector.String, when you auto-populate your stub function with all the interface methods it only types it to Vector (with no type), which is kind of annoying at present. But it does handle them fine within classes, where vector[i]. will fire code hinting on whatever the vector is typed to.

Re: [Flashcoders] FlexBuilder 3 auto-complete vs. FlashDevelop
It certainly does. It's simply using the mxml compiler to find those errors. The FD developers have stated their intent to include it one day, but have stated it's a lot of work. They currently have syntax checking. Keep in mind that FlashDevelop is two guys working in their spare time for free. jared stanley wrote: FDT does the auto-error check, which is so sweet - i read that FD doesn't have the ability to get that info, even with a plugin...

Re: [Flashcoders] FlexBuilder 3 auto-complete vs. FlashDevelop
In FlexBuilder, they don't start appearing as auto-completion hints as you type. You have to hit CTRL+SPACE. This is not a mere difference. You have to stop writing code to get auto-completion. Even worse, it's not live which means it breaks your natural flow. In FlashDevelop, you can hit space, return, period, open parentheses, open bracket, or any non-alphanumeric character and it will auto-complete. In FlexBuilder (and AFAIK, FDT) only return works. Here's a simple example: var loader:Loader; In FlashDevelop, you type these exact characters: lo.l( And it turns into this: loader.load( In Flex Builder, you have to type this: lo CTRL+SPACE RETURN . l RETURN That's 3 mental breaks. FlashDevelop's auto-completion is a natural flow and doesn't interrupt your typing, FlexBuilder's does three times. Let's quickly look at Flex Builder's example again in detail so I can really illustrate the mental break it causes. lo CTRL+SPACE RETURN . l RETURN First, you have to hit two keys to get the hint, and then one more key to accept the hint. Then, you type the period and then have to hit return again to accept the load function hint. That last return causes oad( to appear. The important part of that completion is the open parentheses. You are expected to type RETURN to type ( and that is a mental break. It's far more natural to type open parentheses because that's what your mind knows goes after a method name. Sure, SHIFT+9 is not as easy to type as ENTER, but that's hardly the point. This is about your mental flow as you type. One makes you think (three times), the other doesn't because it just makes sense. FlashDevelop's auto-completion allows you to access arrays and such easily, too. var array:Array = []; FlashDevelop: ar[ Ends up with array[ FlexBuilder you have to type: ar CTRL+SPACE ENTER [ Lame. On top of that, if you make a typo in FlexBuilder or FDT, the hints go away. If you press CTRL+SPACE and there's a typo you get no hints. In FlashDevelop, typos are forgiven and code hints still show up, and again, live as you type. When it comes to auto-completion, the undisputed winner is FlashDevelop. FDT is in second place, and FlexBuilder a distant third. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] Slow emails
FlashTiger emails show up very quickly, but they're a Yahoo group, so the host is very fast. Compared to Yahoo, atlas.pipex.net is rinky-dink. As a Flash Tiger moderator, I'd like to jump in (perhaps a bit late). Flashcoders has been an extremely good resource for me and other AS coders, and continues to be. Dave Watts does a terrific job with the list, and I'm grateful to him for the time and effort he puts into Flashcoders. Flash Tiger is not in competition with Flashcoders. We're complementary lists, with a lot of crossover. There's plenty of room out there for both groups, and I see a lot more positives to continued cooperation than to competition.

[Flashcoders] Actionscript class for creating a Spectrogram?
Hi Flashcoders, is anyone aware of an available actionscript class that uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to create a Spectrogram in Flash? I'm trying to record a person's voice and ask the actionscript class to convert the audio into a spectrogram that can be displayed and compared in flash.
