Re: [Flashcoders] Sandy 0.2, a 3D API for Flash
If you can write the tutorials, couldn't you just add a working .swf of the tutorial in the forum as well?

Re: [Flashcoders] JSFL question
I have an animation of a person standing up. It consists of a movieclip with 20 consecutive keyframes all on one layer - each keyframe has a unique vector drawing. (This is a stopframe animation rather than a tween, exported from a 3D program).The drawings are stylised so they only contain about 8-10 colours. I want to seperate out all the colours, so I have a movieclip with 20 keyframes, 8-10 layers, and only the white fills on one layer, the red on another, etc. It's definitely possible in JSFL but probably pretty awkward. Unfortunately, the Elements array (a property of the Frame object) treats all shape elements on the stage as a single Shape object unless they're in groups. So you'll have to delve pretty deep to get the information you need - I guess you'd need to loop through the Shape.contours array, and I'm not even sure you can select a shape that way in order to cut and paste it. If you can't do that, then you'd have to select the shapes by looping through the stage and selecting points until you've picked up every shape - not exactly 100% reliable! What might be a better option would be to semi-automate it: create a custom tool with which you can click an object on the stage, which selects the object, checks its fill colour and distributes it appropriately, either to a new or an existing layer. This would be reasonably easy to do and would give you a fairly quick job of tidying up.

[Flashcoders] Changing hue/saturation brightness of black clips... ?
Hello coders,
I have some black movieclips in my components that I'd like to skin
(i.e. adjust their hue/saturation brightness) with just one given
color...
Let's say I pass 0xFF to a method that will tint my clips to red
but with some difference in brightness and saturation..
Something like :
function setSkinColor(color:Number):Void {
header_txt.textColor = color;
// less saturation brighter
var cmf1:Array = [ /* some magic numbers */ ];
// more saturation darker
var cmf2:Array = [ /* some magic numbers */ ];
headerBackground_mc.filters = [new ColorMatrixFilter(cmf1)];
background_mc.filters = [new ColorMatrixFilter(cmf2)];
}
Unfortunately, matrixes aren't my cup of tea so instead of playing
around with each parameters, I wanted to know if someone had already
done this or could give me some advices/examples.
Thanks in advance :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Fav XML editor
Hi Eric, I really like Oxygen for all of its features and the price. It also comes as an Eclipse plugin. I used to use XMLSpy (it has most of the same features), but then got sick of some of the little bugs with that program, and things like no line numbers listed and lack of keyboard shortcuts for things like apply transformation. I'm sure that they have fixed many of these things by now, but it still doesn't run on anything except Windows (I have a powerbook that I do development on too). Anyway, I like OxygenXML very much and I strongly recommend it. I use it for XSLT, XML, SOAP, etc... The auto-completion features are good, and much of the keyboard shortcuts are like many other Eclipse editors. The XSLT debugger is pretty handy too. I guess the only downside is that it's a Java program and may run a little slow if you are using an older JRE. I've found that using 1.5 with it is pretty damn good though. My 2 cents, I hope it helps. -Chris ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV Encoders
Hi, I'm using Flix Pro and have no complaints so far, the interface isn't as pretty as squeeze, it kind of reminds me of cleaner XL. I probably won't go back to Sorenson Squeeze, throughout the dot updates for Squeeze 4 there were still various bugs that were never fixed although identified and acknowledged. These may be fixed now in 4.3 although i wouldn't know. Sorenson has support forums which were helpful in finding other people who had issues. Looks like flix now has support forums also. I've only had a couple Flix support issues and those dealt with install key issues being used more than once due to the fact they had released dot updates and were keeping score of how many times you had installed it but not taking into account they were releasing updates to the program. These support issues were cleared up the same day i sent the request plus they have a feature on their website now which will allow you to reset the install quota manually.

[Flashcoders] setInterval interfering with Sound
Has anyone experienced an interval stopping sounds? I made a basketball game where I have an interval which creates random flashes of light on the stage. When the user misses or gets a ball in, a sound is initiated, which is totally unrelated to the interval. Gradually the flashes of light gets faster and faster -- in other words, I first clear the flash interval and then reset the interval with a smaller millisecond value. As this value approaches 1 millisecond (I know, that's pretty fast), this interval starts interfering with the sounds, which are unrelated to this interval. The sounds would be initiated by the user's shooting of the ball and almost as soon as the sound starts, it prematurely stops. What's happening here? Why is this happening? thanks in advance! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

On OS X, or Windows with a nice CygWin installation.. something
like:
find * -name '*.as' -print | xargs wc
As far as lines per hour goes .. well, just the style of {} bracing
and // commenting could really affect that. It's a dubious metric
though.
Something like features per week is more meaningful.

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval interfering with Sound
Try commenting out the line that makes the light flash - but still fire the interval. If it doesn't interfere anymore, then that means it's the drawing of the light that interferes. On 1/28/06, Jack H [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone experienced an interval stopping sounds? I made a basketball game where I have an interval which creates random flashes of light on the stage. When the user misses or gets a ball in, a sound is initiated, which is totally unrelated to the interval. Gradually the flashes of light gets faster and faster -- in other words, I first clear the flash interval and then reset the interval with a smaller millisecond value. As this value approaches 1 millisecond (I know, that's pretty fast), this interval starts interfering with the sounds, which are unrelated to this interval. The sounds would be initiated by the user's shooting of the ball and almost as soon as the sound starts, it prematurely stops. What's happening here?

[Flashcoders] avi open in media player
Hi,
Simple question:
I have a movieclip that, when clicked on should have a avi file open in the
users media player. The avi is located in the same folder.
when I use this code (standard getURL):
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
getURL (blabla.avi, _blank);
}
it attempts to open a new browser window with the avi in it, which is not
what I want, I'd like the avi to open with the users avi-player (windows
media player,...)
How should I go about this?
Thx,
Ben

[Flashcoders] fscommand(exec, myprogram.exe) WITHOUT a projector?
Is it possible? I can't seem to make it work UNLESS I load the swf into the FLash player, then do a save as projector. any possible way that the player could handle this without the projector? -- John Grden - Blitz ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] fscommand('exec', 'myprogram.exe') WITHOUT a projector?
I guessed as much. it's interesting to me: why allow for the creation of a projector that can do it, when you can play the SWF IN a Flash player.exe? make sense? I mean, if it takes an EXE to run the SWF (whether it's in the IDE in a panel or in the standalone player or created projector), what's the diff? I mean, the criteria's the same - Local, exe running a SWF. On 1/28/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: doing so would be a breach of security. Is it possible?

Re: [Flashcoders] fscommand('exec', 'myprogram.exe') WITHOUT a projector?
Can JSFL at least run a batch file? Right now, I can't seem to find it if it can, but someone was just telling me they thought they could load an external app for editing AS files via a SWF based panel in the IDE.

Re: [Flashcoders] fscommand('exec', 'myprogram.exe') WITHOUT a projector?
I suppose it's because when a user runs an exe, they are supposed to understand the risks. A swf was designed for the web, and allowing a swf from a browser to do all those System calls would be dangerous.
