Re: [Flashcoders] monitor outgoing http requests
Hi, I have managed to use Policy File Logging for flash on Linux - you can set up your local mm.cfg file to enable this and pipe out stuff to a log file - this might help you see what is being requested and denied. There are some useful instructions here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_05.html#_Using_Logging Glen Andrew Sinning wrote: I'm trying to track down an issue with a cross-domain policy violation.

[Flashcoders] Calculate stringWidth() for a TextField.text
Hello, how do you please find out the width of a string in a TextField? I have a Sprite representing a comic bubble (my code available at http://pastebin.com/m6d9f4087 ) and use a TextField with TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT there to accomodate the text. I would like to shrink the TextField's width though when the text is short. How can I find text's width? Also another thing I'd like to do: when the text is long, I'd like to find its total width too and set the width of the TextField so that the resulting TextField will have a (approximately) square form. Thank you Alex ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Calculate stringWidth() for a TextField.text
Hi, You can get the text metrics - |flash.text.TextField.getLineMetrics()| Have a look in the docs about this class it's quite useful. Watch out for the obligatory 2px gutter around your text..

[Flashcoders] Printing HTML in AIR HTML control?
I have an HTML component in an AIR app. I load a page into it, but how can I
print the contents of that page? I've tried this which works, but my page is
cropped strangely (I get the top left corner of the page - clipping contents
to the right and I don't come close to getting the whole page):
function doPrintAir():void {
var pjob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if ( pjob.start() ){
var poptions:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
poptions.printAsBitmap = true;
pjob.addPage(browser.htmlLoader, null, poptions);
pjob.send();
}
}

thank you, I've changed my code to:
public function set text(str:String):void {
_tf.x = PADDING + Util.randRange(10, 40);
_tf.y = PADDING + Util.randRange(10, 40);
_tf.width = W;
_tf.text = str;
if (1 == _tf.numLines) {
var metrics:TextLineMetrics =
_tf.getLineMetrics(0);
// add TextField gutter on both side
_tf.width = metrics.width + 2 * 2;
}
..
}
But that 2 * 2 seems to be not enough,
because the TextField breaks my line in two
after I set its width to metrics.width + 2 * 2.
There are probably additional margins
at left and right sides?

Re: [Flashcoders] Calculate stringWidth() for a TextField.text
You need to use a fixed width for the text field rather than autosize
and you can also use the textWidth / textHeight on TextField. Maybe if
you set the width to a maximum first, add your text, then if the text is
too long, square your text field off a little. I am sorry, text
metrics may have been a bit of a red-herring. In AS2, you could ask for
the size of a string of text using TextFormat.getTextExtent which
returned the same type of TextMetrics object. It's a little different
in AS3, so I think you have to fix the width first, then adjust after
you read the other values back.
Sorry Hope this is a bit more helpful.

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 to iphone app
I wonder if Flash local connection in iPhone's environment could be faked similarly like in this example (using Win32 API): http://osflash.org/localconnection Allowing bidirectional messages between Flash and a native iPhone application could be (a tricky and still limited) overcome to the limited access of iPhone native controls from Flash (I'm guessing).

Re: [Flashcoders] monitor outgoing http requests
Charles nice... If it not crashes and then leaves you with altered (non cleaned up) LAN / IE proxy settings so you can't connect to the net anymore... figure that. Wireshark all the way. It even decrypts AMF0 data. For the peolple whom never use wireshark... choose an interface from the capture / interface menu and clck start. When the packets start streaming, do your communication thingie and grap one of the packets out of the list. You can filter a communication line by rightclicking one of the target packets and choose filter TCP stream. That gives you a log of the whiole communication and at hthe same time creates a filter example you can learn from. Cheers, Latcho John McCormack wrote: I like Charles too.
