Well, I checked, and am beginning to feel dumber and dumberer.
Somewhere, when I was dealing with this last night, my head must have been
clouded up.  If I take a 150x30 movie clip in the IDE and rotate it, the
width and height, as indicated in the Properties inspector, updates the way
your calculation and the getBounds approach dictate they should.

I was expecting mc._width to always return 150, even when it was
rotated.  After all, the clip's width, from its own POV, hasn't changed.  In
fact, I would swear this is what was happening last night -- but, sheesh,
maybe not?  If I simply trace mc's _width and _height from the main
timeline, the values returned by those properties give me the data I want.
This happens with dot notation as well as onClipEvent(load) {trace()}.

So ... I guess my whole question is moot.  But now I'm scratching my
head.

[Flashcoders] When are component getters and setters from the panel called

2006-03-20 Thread Manuel Saint-Victor

If I'm building a custom component that does not use the V@ architecture and
am users the getters and setters within the component inspector panel
(Inspectable etc) when are these called?  Are they called automatically by
the person putting the info in the panel or are they like other functions
where during my inti() method I need to call those setters to get those
values into those variables.

To give a more concrete example if I have a set boxColor(selectedColor){
  _boxColor=selectedColor;
}

is there a point where this is automatically called for a non-V2 component?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash MX2004, Video CD with "auto-play" {Director v. Flash??}

Michael,
  I use Flash for CD authoring all the time. The only caveat, really,
is that I use Zinc as a wrapper for the main Flash application rather
than just using Flash projectors, as I want extended functionality
(Resolution changing, registry access, file access, that sort of
thing). But other than that I've never had any issues relating to
running Flash off the CD at all - works well for me.

Cheers,
  Ian

That's odd: when I go through those calculations with a calculator, they
come out with about 130, just as you say (it's a simple calculation, since
cos(a) and sin(a) are both the same value, 1/sqrt(2), so the total is just
180/sqrt(2)). Are you sure your mc._width and mc._height are returning the
correct values?

love flash & hate director.


I think I am in same boat... I only think director has more to offer 
when it comes to 3D.



What do you prefer using?


Flash, for sure.


Are you used to using both?


Used to be, but it has been a while since I used Director regularly... 
couple years or more...



Do you need any of the plugins director gives you access to
or can flash handle everything you need to do?


Seems like Flash should be able to do it all... this should be a basic 
interface, not any animation (just rollovers) and I would have it jump 
to 3 or 4 different videos.


I had mentioned Flash as an option to client, but he stated that he 
thought that Flash did not make graphics as crisp (I disagree).


Maybe he was not using .png's, or maybe he was compressing them badly 
for other projects... But I have gotten great-looking and crisp 
graphics by using .png's (mostly for transparency) and turning-off the 
"allow smoothing" option for the imported bitmaps.


I think that the person who hired me is just used to Director, and I am 
used to Flash... It sounds like he really wants to go the Director 
route, but he is open to Flash if I can get the graphics to be crisp 
and behave just like director when it comes to CD-authoring.


Anyone know of any good links to tutorials when it comes to 
CD-authoring with Flash? I am more used to using flash for web... I 
guess if I make it a projector (self-contained executable) then people 
will not need a plugin...


Any tips, or pitfalls, I should be aware of when it comes to using 
Flash for CD-authoring?


Many many thanks Jim/all,
I appreciate your input and responses.
Cheers,
Micky

RE: [Flashcoders] Inconsistent Constant

Just a quick note on this. There are ways to prevent variables from being 
overwritten. ASSetPropFlags.

Here is a description as to its usage.

http://www.flashguru.co.uk/assetpropflags/

It's kind of strange, but it's useful once and awhile.

It's not really beside the point. We define constants in this way...

class Test {
public static function get SOME_CONSTANT():String {
return "value";
}
}

...which works perfectly.

a hard ine break will also cause a cause attributes to break. anyway,
if it cannot be done on the server (aka in your select statement) then the
best is to get it into an array and use the sortOn functionality. i am 100%
that this can be doen with xfactorstusdio's path  implementation as well,
but i bet you that using that will be slower.

Wow!  Yes, thank you, Yotam.  Now I'm slapping my forehead, too.  It
doesn't get easier than that.

I'm still interested in the geometry approach, for non-ActionScript
applications, so if anyone can show me where I stepped wrong with Danny's
suggestion, I'd appreciate it.

[Flashcoders] loading images into in cell renderer datagrid

2006-03-20 Thread Rich Rodecker

i have a datagrid that uses a cell renderer for one of the columns. 
This cell renderer uses a Loader component to an load image into it. 
For most of the rows in the dg, that works fine, but some rows just
refuse to load the image...and it's always the same images.

I thought that the images might have been bad, but i tested them in a
Loader in a new doc and they load fine, so I'm guessing i'm running
into some wierd dg issue.

I also thought it may have been the fact that some of my rows were not
visible at the time the datagrid loads...and maybe the dg would render
those rows until needed.  however I made all my rows fit into the
visible area of the datagrid, and the same problem, some images just
wont load.

any ideas whats goin on?

I don't know if this will help you at all, but the TextField.Stylesheet

object which you can then apply to your TextField with setNewTextFormat.


Hmm - I'm not sure how this works (the transform() docs are possibly the  
most useless I've ever seen!). As far as I can make out, transform() is  
the internal function used by the StyleSheet object to translate it into  
textFormats. But I can't quite tell what happens next... Can you give me  
an example of what you mean in practice?


Right now I'm fairly close to dropping styleSheets altogether. My  
current plan is to have a parser that translates the HTML into my own  
internal XML format, so that the textField is really a fairly dumb  
container, but really this is turning into such a nasty hack that I'm  
not terribly happy about it.

[Flashcoders] alert box component mess up

2006-03-20 Thread Rodrigo Guerra

Hi all, 

i'm using a alert box that i got here: http://www.rich-media-project.com/, 
(very good product, with all the icons already set.) also, i'm using this 
component with some usual flash components like buttons and comboboxes.

i realized that the Alert component dosen't work very well with the componts 
that came with flash. in the site it's said  "Macromedia V2 Component 
Architecture" and "Compatible player : Flash Player 8", moreover just dragging 
this obect to stage along with a button or a combo shows the error.

and testing the movie give me the error.

example: a button and a combo box (both flash UI components in the stage and 
the Alert Component in the library.

http://www.alumni.org.br/tmp/rodrigo/pergv3.swf

using flash IDE /player = 8.

thank you very much,

Re: [Flashcoders] Inconsistent Constant

Steve,
  Fine. :-) My two-second thought works, then. Haven't tried that, but
may well start using it - it only just occurred to me as a method as I
was writing the post. :-)

I stand corrected. :-)

That doesn't gainsay the second part of the posting - there really
isn't enough detail in that original post to answer the poster's
question.

Why don't use hdiutil included on the mac to convert the image or cd into

to convert it to the ISO format. Anyway check out the hdiutil console app
too. Works nice.

It's not really beside the point. We define constants in this way...

class Test {

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering if the procedure I have in the subject will break
the Mac application that's in the HQX.

I know that copying the Mac app to the PC will break the file.  If you
put it back on the Mac, it won't run.

Will putting it on a CD and then making it an ISO on the PC preserve it?

Thanks!

True, but in this scenario I'm writing a class that needs to
determine this with the user's MCs as they are.  Definitely the way I'd go,
though, if the MCs were under my control.  :)

In my implementation, that gets *close*, but not quite there.  My MC
is a 150x30 rectangle rotated to 45 degrees.  My results show width and
height both at 180, when they should be closer to 130.  Here's my code:

var a:Number = mc._rotation * Math.PI / 180;
//
var w:Number = Math.abs(mc._width * Math.cos(a)) + Math.abs(mc._height *
Math.sin(a));
var h:Number = Math.abs(mc._width * Math.sin(a)) + Math.abs(mc._height *
Math.cos(a));
//
trace("width: " + w);
trace("height: " + h);

[Flashcoders] once again: How to interrupt MovieClipLoader.loadClip()

2006-03-20 Thread Roman Blöth


Hello folks,


I know this matter rises nearly as often as the sun, and I've read but 
not kept all these postings here and thought I got it, but now I'm 
giving it a try and it doesn't seem to work.


I have a "mother"-mc which should preload several external swf files 
while the user isn't doing something special. But when the user klicks 
somewhere special, the possibly running download should interrupt (think 
of about 50% MODEM users in germany and larger files to preload) and 
instead immediately start loading another external swf.


Most postings on this matter recommend simply calling

   MovieClipLoader.loadClip("");

I have tried this, and even tried

   MovieClipLoader.loadClip("MoreImportant.swf", targetMc);

but to no use:

In any case the MovieClipLoader finishes the loading progress currently 
running before handling the "empty" or the new download, no matter when 
I try to interrupt the download.


Man, there must be some way to interrupt a running loadClip-progress!?


Any working method highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Roman.

Re: [Flashcoders] Determining width of rotated MC's imaginarybounding box

2006-03-20 Thread Yotam Laufer

Correct usage of getBounds will give you the correct result. You have to
point the coordinate scope of the getBounds method to the parent of the mc.

var o:Object;
o = mc.getBounds (mc._parent);
trace ("w: "+(o.xMax-o.xMin));
trace ("h: "+(o.yMax-o.yMin));
mc._rotation = 45;
o = mc.getBounds (mc._parent);
trace ("w: "+(o.xMax-o.xMin));
trace ("h: "+(o.yMax-o.yMin));

// outputs
/*

w: 114.95
h: 114.95
w: 162.6
h: 162.6

Re: [Flashcoders] Inconsistent Constant

Chris...

Firstly - Flash doesn't have the concept of constants, so you couldn't
enforce a constant even if you wanted to (except by a hack like
defining a null set() function, but that's beside the point a bit)...
you can only suggest that specific things should be constant by
convention i.e. tell all your coders to treat variables in capitals as
constant and not to change their values.

Secondly - who knows? Those variables aren't actually referred to in
the code except for on their defining lines. They could be used for
absolutely anything at all. You'd need to be much clearer on the
purpose of those variables before anyone could tell you if they
'should' be constant. But see my first paragraph.

I could answer more fully if I knew why you were asking, and what the
values were actually supposed to be...

Okay, a new text embed issue for me today...

Text embedding is working fine - that's not the problem.

I'm trying to do some getTextExtent() calculations.

The steps I take to do so are:
- Dynamically create a text field and give it some text and an
embedded font. This all works perfectly well.
- retrieve a TextFormat object from the textfield
- do some calculations using getTextExtent() on that TextFormat

Unfortunately, it looks very much like getTextExtent is performing
calculations using the system version of the font, rather than the
embedded version.

A specific example is:
- I calculate the width of a piece of text, making sure it fits
exactly on to two lines. The calculations all look right, but once I
set up the field size to the values returned from getTextExtent(), the
text wraps on to _three_ lines. If I turn _off_ the font embedding on
the field, it all works as expected. This indicates, to me, that
getTextExtent isn't using the embedded font.

Has anyone got any experience of this or any thoughts?

So far, I've tried setting embedFonts=true on my TextFormat object
(undocumented but apparently a hack used by some people to get font
embedding working). Otherwise I'm a bit stumped - I don't really want
to turn off the nice smooth outlines!

Oh, for reference Flash 8, but publishing to FP7.

Re: [Flashcoders] Drawing regular, filled shapes into BitmapData

Hi Michael,

The AA provided by the vector drawing API is fine, I was just wondering if
there might be a less convoluted method than drawing vectors and then
creating BitmapData from the results.

The reason it seems convoluted to me is that I'm actually extracting data
from a bitmap image and using this to create a halftone pattern to represent
the image. I have already completed this part and have rendered the image as
black vector dots which works pretty well. Ultimately though, I want to
generate a bitmap image. It's easy to do this with what I already have but I
was just wondering if there'd be a more efficient route that bypassed the
vector drawing stage.

This is going to depend slightly on what you're looking for. If your 
movieClip is a circle, then rotating it will leave the bounding box 
unchanged, whereas if it's a square, then rotating it will change these 
values. But assuming your original clip is rectangular; or that you;re 
looking for the dimensions of *its* bounding box when rotated, then at an 
angle of A, the new width will be Math.abs(w*cos(A))+Math.abs(h*sin(A)), the 
new height will be Math.abs(w*sin(A))+Math.abs(h*cos(A)). Remember that if A 
is measured in degrees, you need to multiply it by pi/180 to convert to 
radians.

Re: [Flashcoders] Determining width of rotated MC's imaginary bounding box

Hi David,

Not sure of the exact nature of your setup but it just occured to me that
the simplest way to do this would be if you could enclose the rotated clip
in a wrapper clip - if you get the _width and _height of the wrapper clip
after rotating the enclosed tip you will have the width of imaginery
bounding box.

Does this help?

Re: [Flashcoders] Drawing regular, filled shapes into BitmapData

Ok, So you want to draw a circle in AS, easy enough.

Then you want to draw it to a bitmap, and the AA provided by  
smoothing is not enough?


Can you just apply a slight blur filter to the bitmap?

[Flashcoders] Determining width of rotated MC's imaginary bounding box

I suspect the answer to this one is purely geometry.  It's trivial
to determine the width or height of a movie clip:  there's the _width and
_height properties, of course, as well as getBounds().  But when the clip is
rotated, the concept of "width" changes.  I'm looking for a way to determine
the width of an imaginary bounding box that contains the rotated clip.

Re: SV: [Flashcoders] CSS with input text, simple editor, sourcefiles


I wrote a simple little system for textformatting with

textField.htmlText. It is really primitive, but we have used it and it
is entirely
possible to make it work.

Thanks - it's fairly similar to what I'm doing too. My solution (which 
appears to be working) is to make two functions, HTMLtoXML() and 
XMLtoHTML(). When importing or exporting text, I use the XML format, which 
is my own and under my control. Then XMLtoHTML essentially acts as a 
stylesheet, and HTMLtoXML is a system which strips out all the tags I don't 
need and restores my XML format. It's not nice, but it's brought everything 
back into a position where I know what's happening. Now I can make my html 
field editable, knowing that as soon as I have any problems I can just run 
my translator and it'll fix them.

Re: [Flashcoders] CSS with input text

2006-03-20 Thread Jim Kremens

It seems like this thread has morphed into something else.  But if you're
looking to style an input text field with CSS, here's a working example...

Note that this is only en example... some things that are hardcoded should
not be... but it gets the point across.  The getStyleSheet and
getDefaultStyleSheet methods are only there so you don't have to load a
stylesheet for the example to work.


class SomeUsefulTextMethods

{

public static function getStyleSheet(css:Object):TextField.StyleSheet {
var style:String = "";
var styleSheet:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
style += ".bold {font-family:" + css.font + ";font-size: " +
css.size + ";font-weight: bold;color: " +  css.color + ";}";
style += ".plain {font-family: " + css.font + ";font-size: " +
css.size + ";font-weight: normal;color: " + css.color + ";}";
style += ".italic {font-family: " + css.font + ";font-size: " +
css.size + ";font-style: italic;font-weight: normal;}";
style += "a:link {color: " + css.hoverColor + ";text-decoration:
none;}";
style += "a:hover {color: " + css.hoverColor + ";text-decoration:
underline;}";
styleSheet.parseCSS(style);
return styleSheet;
}
public static function getDefaultStyleSheet():TextField.StyleSheet {
return getStyleSheet({font:"Verdana", size:11, color:"#00",
hoverColor:"#FF"});
}
public static function getInputField(scope:MovieClip, name:String,
x:Number, y:Number, w:Number, h:Number):TextField {
var field:TextField = scope.createTextField(name,
scope.getNextHighestDepth(), x, y, w, h);
field.type = "input";
field.border = true;
var myStyleSheet:TextField.StyleSheet = getDefaultStyleSheet();
var styleObj:Object = myStyleSheet.getStyle(".bold");
var styleFormat:TextFormat = myStyleSheet.transform(styleObj);
field.setTextFormat(styleFormat);
field.setNewTextFormat(styleFormat);
return field;
}
}


/**

I think many folks -- at leat myself -- just want consistent handling of
HTML and CSS, not necessarily a full blown browser. This is especially true
for building offline Mac/Win CD projects where Director is not used (for
whatever reason), and HTML text is required.

Re: SV: [Flashcoders] CSS with input text, simple editor, sourcefiles

2006-03-20 Thread Eskil Janson

I wrote a simple little system for textformatting with
textField.htmlText. It is really primitive, but we have used it and it
is entirely
possible to make it work. It is basically a very simple HTML editor for
the flash text format (textField.htmlText) and comes with a tool to tag
it and and untag it in an XML/HTML safe format, so that you can store it
and send it in simple textnodes, without loosing the formatting information.

download sourcefiles here if you want to check it out:

http://www.eskiljanson.com/asml_tagger/tagger_stuff.zip

And this is the only manual (sorry for that)...

1. Make executables from the sourcefiles or atleast swf them, (notice
the little class that has to be accessible and

exchange the fonts in the library to fonts of your choice.)

2. Use the ASWord to see what the textformat code you write in the right
textfield does to your left textfield.
If you change the type of the left textfield in the sourcefile to
"input" you can also just paste in any formatted text and see what it
codes to.

This can be useful to start with.

The reason why I disabled this feature, is that to write useable code
(not the crap flash autogenerates) you will want to have som control
over when your codeview window on the right is updated. It is not nice
when hours of work disappear...

3. Use the ASMLTagger to tag the code to a format that is not interprted
as XML or HTML, that you may send in an XML
textnode. (Just paste in the code you generated, and press the tag (or
untag) button)

4. In your project, implement the "untagIt" function somewhere to
convert the text back to flash readable HTML-text.

5. Assing the result to your textfield as .htmlText. don't forget to
embed fonts (yourTextField.embedFonts = true;)

As I said this is simple stuff, and comes as is, there is no support for
this product...This_ is _the only manual

With that said, IF anyone find it useful, or improves on it,please let
me know!

Hi Danny,

I don't know if this will help you at all, but the TextField.Stylesheet class has a transform()
method which will convert _one_ of your style objects from the Stylesheet (ie. The one you maybe
assigned for the or the element or element) into a
TextFormat object which you can then apply to your TextField with setNewTextFormat.

It is also possible to transform several style objects into the same TextFormat
object, but doing this the other way around is a lot more complicated but I
gues it could be solved by writing a your own parser to rewrite the HTML that
flash generates - maybe its already out there ;-) ?

I hope this is helpful otherwise throw it away ;-)

[Flashcoders] Drawing regular, filled shapes into BitmapData

I want draw regular shapes with antialiased edges into a blank BitmapData
object. A rectangle is simple (if it isn't rotated at all) but how would I
go about drawing something like a filled circle at a specified position with
a radius r?

I figure I could easily draw what I want using vectors and then create a
BitmapData instance from this but this seems a little convoluted and
inefficient to me. I've also thought about writing some code to work out
which pixels are completely encompassed within the circle and giving these
solid colour and then manually calculating the amount to tint pixels at the
edge of the circle to create the antialiasing but the routines I have in my
head would be even more inefficient than the vector method.

Anybody done this, know of any examples/code or have any bright ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] CSS with input text


Wouldn't having full www support for html in Flash mean building in a

browser. Not too likely I think.

Well, no, you wouldn't have to support javaScript and other languages or 
activeX controls / plugins. You could probably live without frames or 
similar devices. And hyperlinks would probably remain in their current form. 
We're just talking about display of text, including full support for CSS and 
IMG tags. It's not really *that* far from existing functionality. The 
hardest thing would probably be tables (and no, I don't think it would be 
appropriate to have some hack that converts them to dataGrids)



What about a component in Flash that allows the display of a web

browser window in a flash document, using the browsers functionality.

I think people have tried that kind of thing, with limited success (eg, 
using JavaScript to open a browser window on top of the Flash window). No, 
it really does need to be a native solution.

Re: [Flashcoders] Alpha-blending two MC's with bitmaps?

I've done it with dynamically loaded images and createEmptyMovieClip.
There shouldn't be a problem, but then _visible won't hide them.
Good luck

Wouldn't having full www support for html in Flash mean building in a
browser. Not too likely I think.
What about a component in Flash that allows the display of a web
browser window in a flash document, using the browsers functionality.
I wouldn't know where to start, but it would be cool.

That's true. I'll quality my original comment by added, "Xtras not shipped
with the IDE or part of an update to the IDE".

In addition, my "WOW" comment was referring to the items more utilized as
nifty little features that allow marketing to really spin on. DVD Video
immediately pops to mind. That's not to say Director coders haven't put it
to good use -- they have -- but it also caused a huge misconception that
somehow Director could now be used as a DVD Video authoring tool (i.e., DVD
Studio, Encore).

Hmm - I'm not sure how this works (the transform() docs are possibly the 
most useless I've ever seen!). As far as I can make out, transform() is the 
internal function used by the StyleSheet object to translate it into 
textFormats. But I can't quite tell what happens next... Can you give me an 
example of what you mean in practice?


Right now I'm fairly close to dropping styleSheets altogether. My current 
plan is to have a parser that translates the HTML into my own internal XML 
format, so that the textField is really a fairly dumb container, but really 
this is turning into such a nasty hack that I'm not terribly happy about it.

Yes the images are all definately available when the blend happens. Maybe it

SV: [Flashcoders] CSS with input text

2006-03-20 Thread Martin Baltzer

Hi Danny,

I don't know if this will help you at all, but the TextField.Stylesheet class 
has a transform() method which will convert _one_ of your style objects from 
the Stylesheet (ie. The one you maybe assigned for the  or the  element 
or  element) into a TextFormat object which you can then apply 
to your TextField with setNewTextFormat.

It is also possible to transform several style objects into the same TextFormat 
object, but doing this the other way around is a lot more complicated but I 
gues it could be solved by writing a your own parser to rewrite the HTML that 
flash generates - maybe its already out there ;-) ?

I hope this is helpful otherwise throw it away ;-)

Cheers

And you are right about the structure: While the majority of the time the  
structure remains the same (in flash format, of course) it starts to  
change when you add images.


To change the format of a CSS parsed html, you must use  
setTextFormat/setNewTextFormat.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash MX2004, Video CD with "auto-play" {Director v. Flash??}

I reguarly use flash for projects like this. I don't like director, just
a personal thing. I never feel my assets are organized when using it & I
hate Lingo. But I guess what it comes down to is what you are used to. I
love flash & hate director. What do you prefer using? Are you used to

Hi,

The subject-line pretty much says it all...

I have an upcoming project that requires me to build an interface for 
playing 4 videos... this will then be burned onto a CD - a major 
requirement for this CD is that it goes full-screen as soon as the user 
puts it in their machine.

My question is this:

Is Flash MX 2004 comparable to director when it comes to CD authoring?

If the above answer is no, then how-a-bout the latest version of Flash?

Which app would you use (Director/Flash)?

Many TIA!  :)

[Flashcoders] CSS with input text

I've got a textField I'm trying to use for input text and I'd like to be 
able to style it. Unfortunately, the htmlText is being automatically set to 
this:
COLOR="#00" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">a
This isn't much help, because the FONT tag is appearing inside the P tag, 
with the result that any styling Iattach to P is being overridden (at least, 
I assume this is the source of the problem).


Any idea how I can avoid this? Really, my ideal would be for Flash not to 
keep 'helping' me by adding its own HTML or changing mine: I'd like to be 
able to tell it exactly what HTML I want displayed. This is particularly 
important because I need to be able to extract the HTML at the end and 
return it.
