Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Ensuring commercial is played before the video while keeping .FLV external

[Jordan L. Chilcott]

The best way you can ensure that your clients are seeing what you  
want them to see is to use a streaming server, as they can inject  
content into the stream. Thus, one stream can be comprised of two or  
more videos and the client doesn't know any better.

Re: [Flashcoders] redraw/update DataGrid to reflect change of data?

[Grant Cox]

If all you want is for the datagrid to refresh from the data already in 
it's dataProvider (ie, each grid row updates to what you want when you 
rollover), then try:


var current_vpos = myGrid.vPosition;
myGrid.dataProvider = myGrid.dataProvider;
myGrid.vPosition = current_vpos;

Grant Cox

If there are 2 instances with the name name in different frames, can't
you refer to a specific instance by including the frame number or

Re: [Flashcoders] Issue with two instances on a timeline

[Grant Cox]

I agree, this is perhaps the most irritating thing about animating 
inside the Flash timeline.


Unfortunately I believe it is just a limitation of Flash, and the only 
way to get around it is to avoid keyframes on objects you need to use 
code with.  So, either avoid all keyframes and do animation with code, 
or just avoid keyframes on the specific objects you want to modify with 
code.  In your example for changing text or colour, the object you are 
changing (textfield or movieclip) needs to be inside another movieclip.  
Now you can apply code to the inner movieclip and timeline effects to 
the outer movieclip (or vice versa), and it should work ok.


But unfortunately it is still a pain.  But then, that's animating in 
Flash for you :)

Grant Cox

Hi folks,

I've had this problem for a long time and it keeps on coming back once in a
while, and allthough
I've allways found ways to work around it, I never got to a real solution,
so perhaps some of you know the
answer.

The problem is, simply put:

make a textfield, called tfield
place it inside a movieclip called mc

now we'll animate mc, one keyframe on frame 1, one keyframe on frame 10, put
a motion tween in there.
now the problem is, i have two keyframes, thus two instances of, basically,
the same thing (same instance name)
this, somehow, always brings up alot of problems, giving unexpected results.
when i, say, change the color of the movieclip, or the text of the field
inside the movieclip, it usually doesn't work at all

it seems like flash only likes to change the color or text on the first
frame and not during the animation, or on the last frame

Does anyone know a good solution to this problem, because i feel there must
be an easy solution to this (besides tweening with actionscript alone)

thanks,

Meinte

Re: [Flashcoders] orphaned bindings

Don't use bindings.  Map the result from the server to the dataProvider of 
whatever control you're trying to populate.  Binding only works good in

Re: [Flashcoders] Strange actionscript vs tweening problem Flash8

[Grant Cox]

I'm not sure what is happening in your case, but previously I have found 
similar issues (with code / timeline based effects conflicting) when:


- The symbol (movieclip/button) does not have the same instance name 
across all keyframes (ie doesn't have an instance name on a keyframe).
- When the code changes any attribute of a tweened symbol.  If you have 
code that changes a clip's position, the tween becomes invalid until the 
next keyframe (which then overwrites whatever code change you made).  I 
assume this applies to all other clip attributes (not just position), as 
a key is on a whole layer...


Regards,
Grant Cox

I just simply use

This is for button 1 through 9 and then on the timeline there's a tween with
all the buttons that go to an other location themselfs. But when I click on
a button, that button stays on it's place until the tween is done and then
finally flips to the position it supposed to tween to.

At this point it goes strangely, the tween is actually happening but 
the button clicked stays on the same place until the tween stops and 
then flips to the location it supposed to tween to.
   



How are you tweening this? You might want to show us some code.

[Flashcoders] Dynamic drop shadow

[Philip Smith]

Hi there,

   I'm looking for an AS2 class that will provide a drop shadow for a window 
pane that is continually resizing. I would prefer a class with an easy 
interface, that allows a movie clip to be registered as the clip to be 
shadowed, with a constant loop running inside of it to keep the shadow 
proportional.

  Any classes that do this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Philip

[Flashcoders] Getting a button to work properly...

[Monicque Sharman]

Hi all,
 
I have a button that works as expected when the mouse clicks on it, but when
the button looks like it has focus and you press the Enter button on the
keyboard, it does  not work as expected.
 
The code I have on the button is as follows:
 
on(release, keyPress "") {
  ...code, if (blah=xxx) { etc }
}
 
Further info (don't know if this is necessary):
The frame has two textInput boxes and the button.
On the frame, I have tab enabled the button that I created.
So, you can use keyboard tab to go from the textInput boxes to the button. 
but when the button gets focus, and you press enter on the keyboard, the
movie just goes to the next frame (ie. does not process the if statement). 
BUT, when you use the mouse, it all works perfectly.
 
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Monicque.

Re: [Flashcoders] Guy Watson's FileSystem Extension

[Johannes Nel]

nothing a bit of plagarism and a slight rewrite couldn't sort out. go
through my added comments in the code i see some pitfalls, but could not
realise them.



var folderURI = fl.browseForFolderURL("Please select your package.");
var folderContents = FLfile.listFolder( folderURI, "directories" );
var classesLocation = fl.configURI+"/Classes/";
var bInstall = confirm("Install the package: " + folderURI + "?");

if( bInstall == true ){
//create the folder we are copying to if it does not exist
var target = classesLocation + getTopDirectoryFromOrigen(folderURI) +
"/";
createFolder(target)
copyFolder(folderURI +"/",target,true);
} else {
   fl.trace( "Installation cancelled." );
}
function getTopDirectoryFromOrigen(uri)
{
var arr = uri.split("/");
return arr[arr.length-1];
}
function createFolder(uri)
{
if(!FLfile.exists(uri))
{
FLfile.createFolder(uri);
}
}
/**
* the rest of these functions were written for dreamweaver
* by Danilo Celic with the odd modification by me
* http://www.communitymx.com/blog/index.cfm?newsid=237
*/

function copyFolder(start, end, overwrite){//1.0_DC
// Copy the folders
var theFolders = getAllFolders(start);
var theFiles = getAllFiles(start);

Re: [Flashcoders] Guy Watson's FileSystem Extension

[eric dolecki]

Okay cool, because when I get the folderURI - I alert through and its
correct, the copyFolder operation, using folderURI actuallly copies the
contents INSIDE the folderURI, and not the folderURI itself - frustrating!

Re: [Flashcoders] Using a string to declare a function?

[Yehia Shouman]

Try

this[a]=function()
{
  trace("hi:"+arguments);
}

or more neat
var newFunc= this[a];
newFunc=function()
{
}

and later on you can access the newFunc variable
or use this[a]();

you will only have to define that function in your class constructor (if it
is a component class) or any other function that is called automatically by
mx.core.UIComponent (CreateChildren/draw ...etc).

[Flashcoders] Guy Watson's FileSystem Extension

[eric dolecki]

Ok - I downloaded Guy's FileSystem extension and there is something called

 FileSystem.copyFolder( param1, param2 );

which rocks. But I want to get the base folder & copy it... when i do this:

 var folderURI = fl.browseForFolderURL( "choose folder to copy to class
location" );

that gives me the CONTENTS of the folder, not the folder itself. So what
ends up happening, I copy all of the contents of the folder, not the main
folder itself.

How do I get that folder as the file URI ?

My code:



var folderURI = fl.browseForFolderURL( "JSFL PACKAGE INSTALATION\n\n\nPlease
select the class package (folder) you wish to install:", "directories" );

if( folderURI == null ){
alert( "Aborting Installation" );
} else {
continueProcess();
}

function continueProcess(){
var classLocation = fl.configURI + "Classes";
var bInstall = confirm("Would you like to install the package\nthat you
selcted at this location:\n\n" + folderURI + "?");

if( bInstall == true ){
FileSystem.copyFolder( folderURI, classLocation );
alert( "The Package has been installed." );
} else {
alert( "Installation cancelled." );
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] JSFL File I/O: Install Package

[eric dolecki]

Cool :)

I have this so far:

var folderURI = fl.browseForFolderURL("JSFL PACKAGE INSTALATION\n\n\nPlease
select the class package (folder) you wish to install:");

if( folderURI == null ){
alert( "Aborting Installation" );
} else {
continueProcess();
}

function continueProcess(){
var folderContents = FLfile.listFolder( folderURI );

// Location to install the package:
var classLocation = fl.configURI + "Classes";

// Prompt confirmation for installation
var bInstall = confirm("Would you like to install the package\nthat you
selcted at this location:\n\n" + folderURI + "?");

if( bInstall == true ){
alert( "List of directories/files installed:\n" +
folderContents.join("\n") );
} else {
alert( "Installation cancelled." );
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] JSFL File I/O: Install Package

[eric dolecki]

Have gotten further - but there seems to be no easy way to easily specify a
single folder (maintaining all its sub-directories & files) and copying that
to this location:

 var packageDestinationLocation = fl.configURI + "Classes";

Hmm. Any JSFL-mavens out there?

[Flashcoders] Using a string to declare a function?

[Ryan Luce]

Is there any way in flash to using a string to declare a function name.
Here's an example:
class test {

 var a = "hello";
function get this[a]() {
   trace("hi");
 }
}

i've tried this[a] and taht doesn't work... i'm not sure how it would
otherwise be done.
Thanks,
Ryan.

var folderContents = FLfile.listFolder( folderURI, "directories" );

var bInstall = confirm("Install the package: " + folderURI + "?");

Re: [Flashcoders] JSFL File I/O: Install Package

[eric dolecki]

My original thinking was this:

1. Download someone's package containing a bunch of classes
2. Easily install that package (folder & its contents) into your
"C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes" directory. Perhaps make it
work for Mac too.

Something like that, to keep them all centralized, no need to mess with
classpaths. I guess this would work as long as the packages weren't going to
change over time.

Re: [Flashcoders] JSFL File I/O: Install Package

[Johannes Nel]

hi eric

i have a file and folder browser i wrote as a windowSWF panel. now how this
kind of extension can work is.
you add a known class path to your lists of classpaths, by browsing to the
folder where it is located.
you obviously see a list of all the classpaths you have specified before,
and using a checkbox or button include them in your current fla's classpath.


is this the right track?
i will gladly help you if there is anything you need to make this work.

cheers
johan

Re: [Flashcoders] multiuser flash games

[Mike Boutin]

Hello Rich,

I have used it so far with 20 users connected and playing.  (using the 
lite edition 50 user max) Though this has all been on a local network.

aah. i think what you want to look at is claspaths, instead of  copying the
resource to your project folder for every project. i suspect you can set
classpaths  with jsfl, but could be wrong. this could be quite a handy
little extension and i have some ideas how that could be inmplemented :)

Re: [Flashcoders] JSFL File I/O: Install Package

[eric dolecki]

Something where I download a .zip and its got the package there, no MXP,
etc.

Perhaps I make my own package and I just wanna quickly install it. That kind
of use case. I can always drag & drop the folder on a shortcut icon, but it
would be nice to do it within the IDE.

Re: [Flashcoders] Multithreaded AS1 - AS2 - AS3 - AS4 - AS5

Bleh, almost.  Sounds & getTimer don't stop, just like PrintJob.send. 
Interval's, onEnterFrame, and animations do, though.  Apparently 
ExternalInterface.call and PrintJob.send make the same call to pause stuff. 
It's still not a total thread-lock, though...

[Flashcoders] Articles on accessing actionscript through js

[Mendelsohn, Michael]

Hi list...

I'm thinking of experimenting with having js control a swf.  Can you
call methods and get/set various props in a swf from js in a web
page...and have it work in all browsers?  If anyone has any
recommendations on where to read up on this, please let me know.

Thanks,
- Michael M.

[Flashcoders] orphaned bindings

[jktieman]

I have seen references to the problem of bindings that show as an error in
the output panel like this: Scene 1, Binding between .deltaPacket.
and .deltaPacket.: The endpoint of the binding does not exist.  I
think I caused mine when I removed a DataSet and a Resolver from a form that
I no longer needed.  Problem is "How do I get rid of the error?  The answer
is what I have been unable to find.

Sorry to contradict you bro, but ExternalInterface can block the player.

When you call an external method via ExternalInterface, the Player has
to wait for a response to be returned.  In the meantime, all animation
and code execution stops until the external method returns.

the reason it does not work on the stage is because when you are setting it
theat component is most prob not created. remember that v2 components take a
frame (in some cases 2 frames ) to be created (love this about flex, you
have a creationComplete event). i would suggest trying to poll opver frames
(you can use doLater or an onterFrame (beacon is advised) to do this.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Autosave Feature in Flash?


I don't know JSFL but they say its good to create extensions with it. Is it
possible to create a feature that allows the files to be auto saved every or
2 minutes..

I ask cause Flash just crashed on me and when I am in the middle of some
heavy flashing it's possible to forget to save it.

Let me know if or if not possible.

Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] Multithreaded AS1 - AS2 - AS3 - AS4 - AS5

[JesterXL]

Nope, not viable, just the only way.  No way to remove the print dialogue 
either.

We've all asked Macromedia/Adobe many times for a publicly supported way to 
pause the thread, and no result has come of it.  Since we run in a browser 
most of the time, I don't think Adobe wants us developers locking the 
browser up since the Flash Player probably shares the browser thread.

Is that a viable way or you just saying that is the only that stops flash
execution? If so how do you take advantage of that without popping up a
print dialog to the user?

Flash Player is single threaded, including the new Flash Player 8.5 which
uses AS3.

The only way to block as a developer in Flash is PrintJob.send.

Is AS3 multithreaded? I think I've read somewhere that AS2 (or AS1) is
single threaded. Is that right? Can we use sleep commands in AS3? If not
will AS4 be multithreaded or would that prevent it from running on certain
devices or platforms?

Re: [Flashcoders] mx.controls.DataGird - hoe to edit the content of acell?

[JesterXL]

If the DataGrid is editable, the text you type in will trigger a 
modelChanged event when you focusOut/hit enter, thus changing the data.  Are 
you not seeing that?

Hi list,

If anyone have the slightest idea, here's my problem:
One of the columns in my DataGrid must be editable.
  Therefore:
//code

myDataGrid.editable = true
firstColumn = myDataGrid.getColumnAt(0)
firstColumn.editable = true;

//end of code

Until here, everything works fine...
When I click any of the first column cells, it becomes editable, and a an
editable textField appears above the cell. At this moment I can edit the
initial value of the cell but I need to also modify the correspondent
dataProvider entry.

Does anyone know HOW CAN I GET A REFERENCE to that TEXTFIELD, so as to
capture its value, after eventually I would have modified its value???

Thanks,
Iuliu

[Flashcoders] Q; Extending the media playback component

[bitstreams]

Hi
I would like to extend the media playback component, essentially adding more 
features.

Is this simply a matter of extending the class mx.controls.MediaPlayback.as  ?

Would it really matter if I use inheritance or composition?

Thanks in advance

I could, but the way the Ads System delivers the SWF we don't actually
control the output.

The SWF is registered to the system and is delivered with a predefined

http://test.quirkworks.net/skin/ comes out small only in some IE

out why.

If you see the source code of the site I'm using the detection kit
Macromedia made.

Problem is that it works fine in all the computers here in the office.

If it comes out small (window looks like it shrank), what is ur IE

library for Flash at http://jivesoftware.org. JesterXL mentioned in an
earlier email that he's using a Jabber implementation that's hosted by
dreamhost.  From what he told me it's working fine with Flash after he
had to configure a few things with the XIFF library.

Anyway, I hope these tips help.  Good luck!

[Flashcoders] A Tool to Inject AS to First Frame of SWF

[John Giotta]

Hello all,
I'm looking for a tool that can inject a line code to the first frame of a SWF.

Basically, our advertising department gets SWF ads from a 3rd party
designer and a specific _level0 variable needs to be set in order for
the clickthrough to work.

If anyone has a method or tool to do this it would be much appreciated.

Re: [FlashCoders] scrollRect

[JesterXL]

BitmapSprites extend Bitmap.  Bitmap is an internal class, and extends 
DisplayObject.  DisplayObjects' have a drawing index, just like MovieClips 
do.  So, instead of swapDepths, you'd use setChildIndex.

Now, for individual bitmaps that you are drawing, addToBitmapSprite, they 
are added to the internal array, and drawn in that order.  It would be 
probably 10 minutes to add that method and call redraw to allow bitmaps to 
change depth.

...or you could do it; I can give you Suversion access to the source if you 
wish.

Alpha is handled by your bitmap.  Bitmaps support alpha channels, so 
whatever bitmap you added should have the alpha.  In my case, the moving 
sprites example uses a circular PNG, and since PNG's have alpha channels, 
Flash draws the circle correctly on top of other circles.

MovieClip's have gotten more powerful in Flash Player 8.5, yes, mainly 
because of the DisplayList which seperates a MovieClip from existing from 
actually being rendered/drawn each frame.  It is not, however, re-inventing 
the wheel.  We have not been able to blit in the Flash Player until version 
8; instead, we've had to duplicate a tile 100 times vs. drawing onto 1 
bitmap.

Great example of why blitting is so powerful and scaleable:
http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2005/08/flash_8_thought.html

Significantly less process, less RAM, and scales to infinite bitmaps.

I have no benchmarks nor numbers other than creating 100 MovieClips in Flash 
8 used 99%CPU, and 60 megs of RAM, and the framerate sucked.  Changing those 
100 MovieClips to be 1 bitmap, and scrolled via a copyPixels from a 
double-buffering used 6% CPU and full framerate.  That's what made me write 
Diesel.

When you start adding BitmapSprites, you are adding overhead however because 
they themselves are DisplayObjects, like MovieClips, only they are drawn 
into 1 bitmap vs. 30 of them drawn in 30 places in the DisplayList.

The hybrid approach is to use 1 Bitmap, load all of your tiles and draw to 
just 1.  You're actual monsters and characters that move, make Sprites (or 
MovieClips), and remove them from the DisplayList if they are not on-screen. 
Use scrollRect for the area you are scrolling, and use double-buffering 
(copyPixels from a rectangle from an off-screen bitmap).

This doesn't scale well because Sprites have more overhead, and moving them 
is sometimes more expensive then copyPixels, but it works well enough in the 
alpha, so I'm sure beta, and release it'll still be smokin'.

[Flashcoders] Issue with two instances on a timeline

[Meinte van't Kruis]

Hi folks,

I've had this problem for a long time and it keeps on coming back once in a
while, and allthough
I've allways found ways to work around it, I never got to a real solution,
so perhaps some of you know the
answer.

The problem is, simply put:

make a textfield, called tfield
place it inside a movieclip called mc

now we'll animate mc, one keyframe on frame 1, one keyframe on frame 10, put
a motion tween in there.
now the problem is, i have two keyframes, thus two instances of, basically,
the same thing (same instance name)
this, somehow, always brings up alot of problems, giving unexpected results.
when i, say, change the color of the movieclip, or the text of the field
inside the movieclip, it usually doesn't work at all

it seems like flash only likes to change the color or text on the first
frame and not during the animation, or on the last frame

Does anyone know a good solution to this problem, because i feel there must
be an easy solution to this (besides tweening with actionscript alone)

thanks,

Meinte

single threaded. Is that right? Can we use sleep commands in AS3? If not
will AS4 be multithreaded or would that prevent it from running on certain

out why.

If you see the source code of the site I'm using the detection kit
Macromedia made.

Client is waiting for the fix and.. gah.. I can't seem to find a fix! 
Problem is that it works fine in all the computers here in the office.


If it comes out small (window looks like it shrank), what is ur IE

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a very basic prototype to test parallax movement with
Flash 8.

Is movieclip.scrollRect what I should be using? I tried this:

var bg:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("bg", "bg", 2);
var y:Number = 0;
_root.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
bg.scrollRect = {x:0, y:y--, width:635, height:540};
}

The movieclip "bg" contains only a jpg 635x540.
The movement is pretty jumpy. Should I be using BitmapData instead?

I'm a bit lost! I've been searching for code samples online for the past 2
hours and
I haven't found anything useful.

Does anyone have a useful link for parallax or tile-based games using 
Flash

8 features?
Performance is the key issue here, since this is going for a very big and
complex game
and I want to optimize it as much as possible.

Thanks a lot!

[Flashcoders] Issues while accessing a variable in a movieclip from external class

I'm writing a little application to run a course, and the engine creates the
navigation menu putting labels in the button etc...

So, as far as I change things like a dynamic text that's on the stage with
something like

mybutton.itemText.text =
my_xml.childNodes[0].childNodes[index-1].attributes["Label"];

this works, but what If I want to change a variable declared in the button?

I would like to retrieve from an XML the movie I want to load pressing this
particular button, but seems like the scope of the "designed" objects and
the programmed object is a little different, since with

in the button movieclip

var myMovieDelegate:String = new String();
var selectedButton:Boolean = new Boolean();
---
in the engine Class

mybutton.myMovieDelegate(my_xml.childNodes[0].childNodes[index-1].attributes["MovieToLoad"]);

--

this doesn't works, as doesn't works creating a function in the button to
set the variable like

function setMovieDelegate(movie:String):Void {
myMovieDelegate = movie;
}

Where's the problem?

I'll add the complete code here

--

class courseEngine {
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
private var dispatchEvent:Function;

RE: [Flashcoders] Strange actionscript vs tweening problem Flash8

[T. van Zantvoort]

I just simply use

for (i=1; i<10; i++) {
this["b"+i].onRelease = function() {
play();
};
}

This is for button 1 through 9 and then on the timeline there's a tween with
all the buttons that go to an other location themselfs. But when I click on
a button, that button stays on it's place until the tween is done and then
finally flips to the position it supposed to tween to.

How are you tweening this? You might want to show us some code.

Re: RE : [Flashcoders] External Imaging Nightmares

[Oleg Filipchuk]

Here is the working example, without gotoAndStop etc. DO NOT USE
onLoadComplete, use onLoadInit


System.security.allowDomain ("google.com");

function onLoadStart( target:MovieClip ):Void {
trace ( "load start")
}

function onLoadError( target:MovieClip, errorCode:String ):Void {
trace( 'loadError '+ errorCode );
}

function onLoadProgress( target:MovieClip, loadedBytes:Number,
totalBytes:Number ):Void {
trace ( "progress " + Math.round ( loadedBytes/totalBytes*100) );
}

function onLoadInit( target:MovieClip ):Void {
target._width = 500;
target._height = 300;
}

var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.addListener(this);
mcl.loadClip( "http://www.google.com/logos/olympics06_luge.gif";,
this.createEmptyMovieClip( "contHolder", 0 ));


best wishes,

Re: [Flashcoders] multiuser flash games

[Oleg Kolokolov]

I once dealt with Oregano (www.oregano-server.org) server. Also a pretty
good solution. I liked it.
They state on their site that it worked ok with 250 simultaneous users. And
besides the server could be easily clastered. Which makes it dependant only
on the amount of the computers the server works on.

[Flashcoders] Strange actionscript vs tweening problem Flash8

[T. van Zantvoort]

Hi Guys,

I have a strange problem. I have several buttons on my canvas which I named
b1_btn untill b9_btn. In actionscript I have made the OnRelease call to them
through a For loop (also a RollOver and RollOut). On release the movie
should continue (play) and the buttons should tween to a different location.

At this point it goes strangely, the tween is actually happening but the
button clicked stays on the same place until the tween stops and then flips
to the location it supposed to tween to.

What is happening here?

I've tried several other approaches with no luck. I even tried to make an
embedded OnRelease whitin the On RollOver function. It just stays there and
only flips at the end of the tween.

Could someone help me out here, please.

 
Met vriendelijke groeten,
