Re: [Flashcoders] Install flash 8 player without user interactivity

[franto]

it is on WAN, there is update script which runs automatically and can copy files

so it is enough to copy ActiveX file to some specific folder, and it
will be installed new player, that would be great...

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash standalone awkwardness

[Maximilian Reuss]

Hi Luke,

if you need a Windows exe with autorun, splash screen ...
I recommend you some third party swf2exe tools.
Swfstudio3 www.northcode.com
Screenweaver http://www.osflash.org/screenweaver
Zinc http://www.multidmedia.com/software/zinc/
Screenweaver is OpenSource, so check it.

But Stacey is right, when loading from CD-ROM drives, there is time to
wait and a stub exe only for initialisation and then loading the xtras
was always my favourite.

max

[Flashcoders] V2 Components - Themes/Styles/Skins - Window/ComboBox/Button

[Steve Warren]

*[A WHILE AGO ON FLASHCODERS...]*

On 8/3/05, Iestyn Lloyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hi all,

i've skinned the FMX2004 scrollpane component by altering the
ScrollBarAssets MC, and now i've been told that i need to have 2
completely different skins for the scrollpane - and that they need to be
shown at the same time.
Is this possible? If so... err.. how? :)

* [SOUND OF CRICKETS CHIRPING] ie: nobody replied.

I need to do the same thing with a Window component, and have perhaps an
easier question about the ComboBox.

I've been studying and working with Themes, Styles and Skinning for the V2
Components on a project with a deadline that has come and gone - we're
behind! The project was developed using the V2 components early on, with the
skinning of the components and final design implementation saved for last. I
was recently brought into the project to do this work, and have found
working with the v2 components to be, well... difficult to accomodate.

I have since dug my heels in, and am doing the best I can under the
circumstances. We've been successful at skinning the RadioButton and
CheckBox, and have had limited success with the ComboBox. Button and Window
have been the most difficult.

If you look at the built-in Macromedia Help, there's lots of detailed
information on the subjects. Here are my questions, and thanks in advance
for any help provided!

1) Window

I need to create several instances of the Window component - some with
TitleBackgrounds (standard MenuBars with a Title and a Close Button), and
some without. If you read the Help section [Components Language
Reference/Window Component/Customizing The Window Component] you'll see what
you can do with Styles and Skins. The TitleBackground is a skin element
only, so if you customize the skin to delete the TitleBackground... it
affects ALL instances of the Window component. I would have liked to see a
Window Style setting "TitleBackgroundVisible:Boolean" which could be set to
TRUE or FALSE. Or better yet, a Style setting that would accomodate
["Default", "Disabled", "CustomLinkageID"].

I started creating a custom MyWindow component that simply opens a container
with a close button (the simplest form of window), but I ran into other
problems. To create the window I'm struggling with, a custom built DialogBox
class is called first, which creates an instance of a Window that depends on
(Macromedia's built-in) PopUpManager class to manage overlapping Windows and
their Modality. Without using the actual Window component, these features
are unavailable without doing lots of extra research, development and
testing.

MY QUESTION IS: Is there any way to create more than one standard Window
component that PopUpManager will recognize? It seems we are locked in when
we use the Window component to ONE SKIN per document. I would love to use a
standard Window component for application wide usage, but have additional
custom Window implementations with custom graphics that reference elements
in more than a single "Window assets" folder inside a single THEME.

2) ComboBox

I edited the skin graphics for ComboBox inside the ComboBox assets folder.
We're currently basing our THEME on the standard HALO THEME. Currently the
highlight of the ComboBox when you pull it down is green. I looked into the
ThemeColor Style setting for Halo's ComboBox and was surprised to see three
possible values - ["HaloGreen", "HaloBlue", "HaloOrange"]. I dug into the
components FLA file to try to figure out why there might be a limited three
settings in a Style, and couldn't figure it out.

Maybe you'll laugh when I say I would have appreciated a "HaloGrey"
option... but I'm not laughing. Can someone please tell me how to achieve
GREY???

-
CONCLUSION
-

I would have preferred to write my own classes or custom components for this
type of job, but I came into the project after those critical decisions were
made. I like some of what I see from the whole Theme/Style/Skin
implementation, but overall it seems kludgy and weird to me. I didn't even
talk about the most basic Button component yet, which I overrided
immediately and created a custom component for. There is nothing more
difficult than skinning a Button that you need to use everywhere, but looks
different than the default Buttons that come with the program.

Can anyone shed some light on my predicament?

RE: [Flashcoders] library fonts

Zarates single-file fontlibrary isn't that good as I thought it was.
It downloads the same large fontfile twice. Since he had bot export and import 
in the same file. This is then a solution that doesn't really work. Unless you 
really want to rely on caching services.

RE: [Flashcoders] Help For Custom Components

[Robert Edgar]

Hmm,
We bought AS2Doc a year ago, its good, probably still the best around(due to
lack of any real competition) but...
the bad news is AS2Doc development was abandoned in March and now there is
no support whatsoever or bug fixes or new releases coming ever...

There are a number of bugs, like some Interface classes get skipped, the
PanelActions generate junk at times, and some essential features missing
like no way to document events and of course once AS3 is here there wil be
no way forward.

It still might be worth buying but anyone doing so needs to do it with there
eyes wide open.

I just bought AS2DOC and it's awesome at creating Flash documentation 
files.  I just ran it on a couple of packages I had recently written 
with JavaDoc style commenting and in a matter of seconds it created 
detailed help docs and an mxi file for me.  I packaged the mxi file into 
an mxp and installed it into Flash.  After looking through the docs I 
see I left some comments out so I'm going to use it as a reference to 
where to go back to my classes and add more information to fill out the 
pages more.

Pricey but great product.  Highly recommended.  Unfortunatley their free 
trial version does not do Flash help files.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help For Custom Components

In MX 2004, you can write the help in form of HTML files (number of
files) instead of "reference" tag in "customactions".

Then, add the tag for each html file to your .mxi like that:


See "Extending Flash Help Panel Content" article in "Flash

Also, I'd recommend just download any component (for Flash MX 2004)

Re: [Flashcoders] How to draw a copy of a curve?

[Gregory_GOusable]

OK, thanks to Jon for giving me a hope :-)
I'll try to be more specific now.

I'm developing  a product, Dynamic Blend Flash component which
allows you to dynamically build blend groups based on your symbols.
Have a look: http://www.gousable.com/flash/dynBlend.html

*Blend* tools in CorelDRAW or Freehand allow to "apply blend to
curve", which is very useful for creating visual effects.
So, I'd like to implement this, too.

The problem is that, unlike Corel, I can't know the user's curve
parameters and have to determine them in runtime.
I think the solution is to create a copy of user's curve (or parallel
one).
Do anyone know the appropriate algorithm (cubic curves etc)?

For now, user can only imitate "applying to curve" using some
tricks...

Thanks in advance.

Chances are, the exe is unpacking. How big is the exe you are trying to run?
In Director, we used to create a stub exe that really had nothing much but
launched the exe the way we needed with the xtras and then referenced a
file. It was much friendly for the wait time.

you can try to put there only an  in that string and you can see

I don't think you can change the 'Filedata' value, at least I haven't
seen any way to. Is there a reason you need to change it?

[Flashcoders] FileReference.upload -> "Filedata"

[bryan.rice]

Every example of the Flash 8 file Upload feature uses the variable  
name "Filedata" in the server side script when referring to the  
file.  Is this *always* the name that Flash passes to the server, or  
can this be specified somewhere?  I can only find examples, but not  
documentation stating this one way or another - can some one point me  
to some documentation (or Central documentation that is similar) ?


[To illustrate, in HTML you would create an file input control and  
specify the name: .  In your  
script you would then refer to FileToUpload when manipulating the file.]

Re: [Flashcoders] Batch linkage jsfl command

Ooooh...
Sorry man, wasn't really sure what you were looking for.
You're talking about the fact that the library listing itself isn't updated.
Mine is always too small to read that anyway (which is why I totally missed it).

Now, I just checked, with your code and added lib.selectNone() and it 
immediately updates the Lib view here.

here is a link that will tell you exactly what to do and what to download to

http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flash/mx2004/extending_help/index.html

It's for Flash MX 2004 but is still valid for Flash 8, so there should be no 
problem. You'll have all you need to create your help files.

Thanks Ed, I was afraid something like this was needed…

Each time I have to do something with the V2 components, it seems as if I
spend more time trying to make them work, than if I would have done the
thing from scratch.

It seems so stupid to have to do all that hullabaloo just to change the 
font

size of different branch types.

Is there anyone out there that has already implemented this with the
CellRenderer? I would love to hear your comments.

Thank you,
Caludia

[Flashcoders] Flash standalone awkwardness

[Luke Munn]

Hi there,

Googled this and searched the archives but can't really find this 
addressed anywhere online.


I'm creating an educational CD-ROM in Flash, which will use a Flash 
Projector to ensure everyone can run it.


The issue is on starting the player up there is an awkward couple of 
seconds where you see the Flash player with it's menus, at a default 
size, before the fscommand kicks in and the whole thing goes fullscreen.


While this isn't a huge problem from a usability or technical 
perspective, it just looks awkward aesthetically and detracts from the 
concept of the CD-ROM. The initial movie being loaded is only 500K, so I 
can't really speed this load up. Ideally I'd like it to be like any 
fullscreen game or software, which loads with a splash screen if 
necessary and then immediately comes up full screen with no awkward 
menus, resizing, etc.


Thanks for your help,
Luke Munn

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Mac Mini as (L)AMP+CFMX dev server...

[Weyert de Boer]

Hi
My experience is the opposite. The Dual 2.5 ghz G5 on my desk at work 
is barely faster than the AMD64 2800 at home. The G5 was crazy money, 
my AMD64 cost me £600.
Hmm, if I fill huge PSD file with a black-to-white gradient then 
PhotoShop on the mac is faster then on my pc. One of the reasons why I 
will do my DTP work on the Apple instead. Anyway Apple Powerbook G4 
should be nice to have, though. I am gonna buy some more memory for it 
when available. I currently got a Centrino 1.7ghz and a Powerbook G4. I 
think it's nice. Do you have experience with Mac and Windows license for 
Studio MX 2004?
Laptops are another issue though, I believe Apple laptops compare much 
better with PC laptops. Until of course you get into the desktop 
replacement laptops, which you can get with 3ghz+ CPUs in them 
now...Not to mention gigs of RAM and RAIDs...But I digress...


I do like Mac Mini's, I think they'd make a great little mac to have 
around.

My experience is the opposite. The Dual 2.5 ghz G5 on my desk at work is barely 
faster than the AMD64 2800 at home. The G5 was crazy money, my AMD64 cost me £600.


Laptops are another issue though, I believe Apple laptops compare much better 
with PC laptops. Until of course you get into the desktop replacement laptops, 
which you can get with 3ghz+ CPUs in them now...Not to mention gigs of RAM and 
RAIDs...But I digress...


I do like Mac Mini's, I think they'd make a great little mac to have around.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help For Custom Components

[Alain Rousseau]

Documentation about mxi file creation is inside Dreamweaver ... go 
figure ! You should also download Dreamweaver extensions that help you 
build your mxi file, there should be a little help file about how to do 
it. I am now at work, and all my notes on this are at home so this is 
the best I can do right now.


I have sucessfully installed help files for flash before, I'll get back 
at you when I've got all my files at hand.

No converters from lm to fla. Do you have the SWFs at least?
Get a copy of lm2 and extract all the assets and rebuild. Or try ASV5. If no

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Mac Mini as (L)AMP+CFMX dev server...

[Weyert de Boer]

Hi!

I just ordered a new Powerbook G4 15" for the design work. My experience 
is that the Apple PowerPC are way faster in
graphics then a pc. 10-15secs for gradient fills. Hopefully the 
Powerbook G4 1.67ghz  is fast enough for the PhotoShop and Flash work.


Anyway does anyone know how I can convince Macromedia to convert my 2nd 
studio copy from windows to osx? I don't really like to buy a new copy :(

Re: [Flashcoders] What is the minimum size (in kb) for a flexapplication

[JesterXL]

Among other things, it provides API's for creating custom markers instead of 
that plain Red droplet thing Google Maps has.  You can create your own 
overlays like the default map dragger that it as at the top right.  Finally, 
there are controls which provide context called Widgets which are accessible 
from the map control panel.  All this provides the event infrastructure, map 
friendly API's and datatypes already coded for you.

...and all of the above integrates into the Flex framework, Flash framework, 
or your JavaScript framework.

Dude, I'm not even a map geek and that's awesome!  Does Google Maps have 
stuff like that?  I seroiusly don't know, never looked, that's why I'm 
asking.

To my knowledge, the LiveMotion authoring files can only be opened in

You are so damn competitive Scott, haha, I love it!  Ok, hold...

:: goes to look ::

Ok, the Flex 1.5 mx.swc is 1,117kb; so about 1 meg.  Including all controls, 
charting components, formatters, effects, validation, assets, etc. that's 
what's in there.

:: goes to try to add all classes ::

I doubt I got everything, but tried.  Final size:

345kb

I used every tag that's available via the tabs; there may be some other 
classes that I didn't use, but not many that's for sure.

[Flashcoders] OT: Mac Mini as (L)AMP+CFMX dev server...

[Count Schemula]

Just an FYI...

A long time Mac user, I switched from doing my artwork (PShop, After
Effects, 3d, etc) on Macs to using PC.

I like OSX ok though, and got a Mac Mini, but I really don't use it
for much, it's not fast enough to actually use to work on as a
workstation. It replaced my dual G5.

One day though, I started messing with it... and, well, Apache is
built in. I installed mySQL and PHP. Then I installed the new
ColdFusion 7.1 with the new Mac installer. I put yourSQL on it to
admin the mySQL, and it's very nice.

Works great. It's small, makes no noise and give off little heat.

I'm about to shut down my made from scrap parts PIII500 computer that
I have been using as a dev server.

Just an idea for you developer types. Used and refurb Minis are out there.

Re: [Flashcoders] What is the minimum size (in kb) for a flexapplication

[JesterXL]

OMG, I sure you're criteria is more than that.  The Yahoo! Maps have an 
insanely awesome API that developers have put in there such as creating your 
own markers, overlays, and widgets as well as other crazy cool methods & GIS 
stuff.

The minimum size of a Flex 1.5 Flash Player 7 SWF is 126kb; but that doesn't 
have any controls other than the base application classes.

The Flex 1.5 framework is just that, a framework; it's not just a bunch of 
controls and widgets, but has support for creating applications within it, 
although, for larger applications, you're better off utizling an appcliation 
framework atop that such as ARP or Cairngorm.

The YahooMap.swc itself is 339kb which is compiled into the file Flash or 
Flex SWF.  If you are looking for less filesize, Flash may be the way to go 
since you can choose what controls you use or not... or even the *gasp* 
AJAX/JavaScript inclusion so you are just using the 339kb map itself.

I tried to evaluate code size in kb in both Google maps and Yahoo maps :

Google maps : 170 kb (js file)
Yahoo maps : 370 kb (mxml...swf files)

I understand that Flex UI components are included in those 370 kb, but the
difference is quite amazing.

What is the minimum incompressible size for a Flex application (if this
makes sense) ?

Thanks by advance

Re: [Flashcoders] Preloading locally

[Count Schemula]

I would think for CD or Hard Drive, you could just stuff everything
into the main movie, within reason of course. Then when the Flash
movie is opened, all assets are loaded.

If you have a lot of video, just load it from the CD or Hard Drive,
there should be plenty of "bandwidth."

The only real reason to load things as needed is bandwidth and loading concerns.

I still try to do good designs, but part of me feels that if you have
a 800x600 computer with 128MB of RAM... you are used to things not
working.

Re: [Flashcoders] certificates

[grant]

If you get a better definition on activated...  If you have a page on the 
server that requires a certificate to be provided by the client the web browser 
will auto-accept valid certficates from major certificate signers (Thawte, 
Versign etc..).  If the certificate is expired or invalid or the URL doesn't 
match it the customer will be informed by the web browser and have the option 
to proceed or not.

Do you need more functionality than this ?

You mean to draw a parallel curve? Not with bezier, but with cubic

bezier curves, so the result is close enough ( <<<1pixel difference

As you were checking the graphics gem FAQ, I don't think you worded

Without putting too much thought into it - sounds like you could build a
component that executes a java command and then stops, and the java shell
that received the command would make a call back into the flash component
for the result. Same theory applies to C#.NET.

So doing a google on verifying certificates using Java will go a long way as

[Flashcoders] chaining flvs to appear seamless.

[Matt Ganz]

hi.

i have a website with a video host who walks you thru all the sections
of the site.

currently, we are using 50 external flv files. each one weighs around 1mb.

every time the video host moves, we switch to another flv. why?
because the background changes and we need to throw the new one in.

we want to make it as seamless as possible so the user doesn't see
we're loading in new flvs whenever the video host moves.

but i just did a test trying to see how quickly i can switch between 3
of these flv files where i reset the flv via setMedia() and then
invoked play() ( i'm using the media display component ).

each new video needed between 1-2 seconds before it started again.

has anyone attempted s/thing like this before? what solutions should i
be looking for or how can i restructure my project to get around this
problem?

any tips are very much appreciated. thank you. -- matt.

Customer clicks location they want to visit, customer types their address in

Check out the new Yahoo maps built with Flex:
http://www.techcrunch.com/2005/11/02/new-yahoo-maps-shows-power-of-flash
/ 
 
Jesse just posted this reply regarding this app on Flexcoders - read the
thread:

"Keep in mind, Yahoo! is one of the few large companies that publicly
hosts a 
crossdomain.xml file to allow Flash developers to access their
webservice 
API's.  Flex doesn't really need this if you use the server as a proxy,
but 
they have a plethora of API's they have been pushing for awhile.

However, it really makes developers take you seriously when you deploy 
applications that utilize some of those very services you are offering.

Thanks Jester!

It's obvious of course as has been said that Flash
Player is used for presentation of Flex -- still the
SWC as you say and I agree, is a big mistake as it can
cause "shock" :-/

Besides this mistake though, seems Yahoo is starting
to get it's act together in working with developers;
i'm sure to compete with Google.

I really see huge things for Web Services and Flex in
the next 1-3 yearswith the smooth performance of
Flash 8 Video, I just have to believe it's possible to
do one-up on DirectX and create a unifying OSX WINXP
3D model that is xml tag based in description of
object, environments, etc.  If this issue is somewhere
in there, the sky's the limit (as long as the
corp.anality stays out; but w/ the nice change in
reasonable deployment model for Flex2 I see good
things only).

created in LiveMotion by an animator and now are dropped on my door.
This is a long shot—but does anyone know of a converter to open the  
original LiveMotion files in Flash? or any way to remove buttons and  
actions?


Thanks,
Mike

"what about mac application? (change the icon)"

You only asked about .exe applications so I assumed you meant just for 
Windows.

Some of the Icon editors can change the icons of applications, but I'm not 
sure if they are limited to Windows or not, in that respect.

[Flashcoders] Customer maps/mapquest ?

[grant]

I need to provide a client with the ability for the customers to have driving 
directions from their home to one of the clients 10 locations.  The map can be 
html or flash based and the driving directions are really the key part.

I looked at mapquest who provides a webservice, however their site advantage 
API is $5k per year which seem pretty damn high for what I need.  

The use case would be.

Customer clicks location they want to visit, customer types their address in 
and then clicks get directions, the system displays directions.  This would be 
almost the same as what we do manually when you visit mapquest as a consumer 
other than the fact we pre-populate the ending address.

I can't find if mapquest has a free webservice for getting directions or 
something lower in cost.

So setting the linkageIdentifier isn't really required.

Re: [Flashcoders] passing mouse event

[Éric Thibault]

I can't do that!

The application I'm working on will have about 10 draggable objects on 
the screen (components).  I have mostly no idea what will be added to 
the rest of the animation but the rollover of that added stuff must 
still work even when my about 10 objects are dragged over them!


What I need is to know what objet instances the draggable objet is over 
to trigger the rollover of those  instances (under).


I dont want to do hittests for each object on the screen inside an 
onEnterFrame!  There must be something that informs a draggable objet 
over what it is!?!


Thanks!

I've tried it with no success because the droptarget property is only

that can say over wich instance the dragged mc is?


Thanks a million!

Hi Eric,

Maybe a more optimized solution would be to have an onMouseMove event on the
movieclip that is being dragged, which would be activated when the movieclip
is dragged, that would run eval on the clips _droptarget property for each
onMouseMove event. Each target could have a distinguishing public property
that would be evaluated with the hitTest that would serve as the exception
for triggering the onRollOver function. The dragging clip would also do a
onRollOut trigger on the last clip it was over once the clip is no longer
over the target.

I tested this:

var lastMC:MovieClip;

function onPress(){
this.startDrag();
onMouseMove = runOnMouseMove;
}

function runOnMouseMove(){
var t = eval(this._droptarget);
trace(t);
if(t!=lastMC){
if(lastMC.isTarget){
lastMC.onRollOut();
lastMC = undefined;
}
if(t.isTarget){
lastMC = t;
t.onRollOver();
}
}
}

function onRelease(){
this.stopDrag();
onMouseMove = undefined;
}

onReleaseOutside = onRelease;


Good luck,

H

Hi all!

I have an application that uses startdrag events.

My problem is that I have about 20 targets with rollover events (each
hilighting a different portion of a radiography). When I drag an MC
over those targerts, the rollover dont get triggered! Is there a way to
pass the mouse event under my dragged MC to trigger my rollovers? To
temporary solve this (an get a demo working) I've put en onenterframe
inside each of my targets that checkes if the mouse is over them!

There must be a better way to do that!

Thanks a million! :-)

	The new testing version of SEPY is pretty good, it still crashes now

with that (both on a 1.4GHz iBook and a dual 1.8GHz G5).

If you're working with other developers on a project definitely 
check out SubEthaEdit, it's collaboration tools are fantastic. It

Thanks Ed, I was afraid something like this was needed…

Each time I have to do something with the V2 components, it seems as if I
spend more time trying to make them work, than if I would have done the
thing from scratch.

It seems so stupid to have to do all that hullabaloo just to change the font
size of different branch types.

Is there anyone out there that has already implemented this with the
CellRenderer? I would love to hear your comments.

Thank you,

Re: [Flashcoders] XPath Error...

[grant]

his XML is fine, its either the chattyfig server or our email clients stripping 
his xml..


//product[colors[clr='red']] will only return results if the first clr child 
node of the colors tag has a value of red.

the correct syntax to return any clr child of colors that matches red would be :

//product[colors/clr[.='red']]

but neither the xfactor studio xpath parser or the mx.xpath.xpathAPI classes 
return anything for that xpath query.  I tested it in internet explorer and it

RE: [Flashcoders] passing mouse event

[Scott Hyndman]

So why don't you drop it then immediately start dragging it again?

Thanks

I've tried it with no success because the droptarget property is only 
initialised once the dragged mc is droped!  Is there another property 
that can say over wich instance the dragged mc is?

Thanks a million!
