[Flashcoders] [ANNC] FlashAmp 3 Released
Marmalade Multimedia is pleased to announce the release of FlashAmp 3 for Windows and Macintosh. FlashAmp is the sound-visualization utility for Macromedia Flash 8 and MX2004. Use FlashAmp 3 to quickly and easily synchronize sound in Flash... - Create perfectly synchronized audio animations and visualizations based on sound frequencies and amplitude. - FlashAmp is the quickest and easiest way to lip sync character animations in Flash. - Take advantage of the new imaging features in Flash 8 to create amazing audio visualizations with a level of performance that was previously impossible. FlashAmp 3 is available now, with a bunch of new features including a Preview window with animated spectrum and waveform displays, and new spectrum and amplitude functions to give you more control over the audio data that you can use in Flash. FlashAmp comes in three editions - Pro, Standard and Lite - so you can choose the functionality that suits you without having to pay for stuff you won't use. All editions of FlashAmp are designed to be easy to use so you can quickly and easily generate the audio sync data that you can use in Flash. And once FlashAmp has produced the data you don't have to be an expert in ActionScript to get great results. All three editions of FlashAmp are available for Windows 2000/XP and Mac OS X. To get more information and download a demo version of FlashAmp 3 go to, http://www.marmalademedia.com.au/flashamp/ ___ Marmalade Multimedia www.marmalademedia.com.au ___ ___ Sydney, Australia[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Tween and actionscript
Since I use Zeh's tweening methods I would have to agree with him, use actionscript to do the tweening and you'll be a happy developer from this day forth. It is a much cleaner way to control your movies. If you haven't done so to this point I would suggest reading through his site and get a handle on how you can have more control over your movies using actionscript. http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/using.html I know that doesn't answer your question but it will help you as a developer.

How do I tell Flash that I want the timeline animation to keep working after I change a MovieClip property? Timeline animations are something done on "design-time" - when exporting the final SWF, flash actually renders all the motion frames to precalculated pseudo-keyframes and then applies them when playing the movie. You can't make it 'switch' back to the timeline tween. As soon as you change a property dynamically, it snaps out of any tweening and flash won't update it anymore. You can do this: 1. Instead of changing the property on the movie that's being tweened on the timeline, change it INSIDE it (for example, having a container movieclip inside the movieclip itself, which you can change the property); or 2. Drop timeline tweening and use 100% actionscript tweening instead. Chosing option 1 can be messy and it's a bit different to figure out (it will stack with yout timeline tweening, not overwrite or change it) but it works on some cases. And chosing option 2 is probably the best thing you'll ever do for your flash development productivity. - Zeh ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Is there a -nonstrict flag (i wish)...?? I don't think so...you just have to go through and fix them all. Even a very large project, shouldn't take you more than a day's work to convert, most fixes are generally very simple. My coworkers always write code like this: if(blah) var arg = 1 else var arg = 2 return arg; // ERROR: arg not defined! which works in MMC. the solution is simple, just define 'arg' above the if statement. Also what if I were to try to use the Flex compiler, can it publish AS2 for > Flash Player 7 (or maybe 8)? I haven't heard exactly, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't compile to AS2.

Re: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.
Steven Sacks wrote: Please warn us when you are going to do this, since from the tone of the conversation, there is some sense that this will cause the end of civilization as we know it. Hacking the swf to increase the timeout is not the solution, it's a band-aid on a gunshot wound. Maybe he is only nicked and a band-aid might do the job. It is hard to tell without reading all 50,000 lines of his code. In the real world, sometimes you only need to fix the problem in the current release and can fix the design in the next version. Patches are allowed and many patches do not make it into the next release because the underlying problem goes away with a redesign. It is impossible to tell if his application will blow up after the timeout is increased but it is unlikely that it will cause the rest of us much of a problem. Ron I have over 20 years of programming experience including at assembler level, advanced Java, etc, but thanks for trying to put me in my place :-) Let's say for argument's sake that it is a bug and it is all Macromedia's fault and they won't fix it and life is unfair. That doesn't change the fact that your application needs to work to your client's expectations. You need to find a solution because that's what you're paid to do. You hit the nail on the head here - "your application needs to work to your client's expectations"; not to ours or not to be perfect. As Danny Kodicek knows coming from a Director background, there were tons of bugs in Director and workarounds had to be figured out to make certain things work. John Dowdell, in his infinite wisdom, got on Direct-L and posted that Director had no bugs, that there was just application behavior that Director developers wished worked differently. At the end of the day, I don't tell my client "Sorry, it's a bug and I can't work around it". I figure out how to get it done, and so should you and everyone else who does this for a living. The place I'm trying to put you in is "Flash Developer". ;) Noble sentiments but sometimes in the real world you have to tell a client "Sorry it is a bug/design artifact in the underlying software and I can not fix it or implement a work-around in the budget that you want. Furthermore, the cost of fixing it exceeds the value to the organization." In my work, I can not just charge clients money with no accountability. They expect me to make reasonable judgements about the value of my activities and not to just spend time because I have an ego-driven need to get a "perfect" solution. I need to be able to explain my position and to demonstrate how my recommendation is in the client's best interest. I do not always know when to quit but not quiting or not accepting a "good enough" solution is not a virtue (at least not in the eye of the guy paying for it).

[Flashcoders] existing project to start using mtasc, an easier way?
Flashcoders, I have an existing AS2 codebase that I think would benefit from using mtasc. The compile time is currently about 1 minute for the application. Not terrible, but not great either. The problems are: I am using includes which I have managed to get around using... but.. After getting though the include issues I am having to go into the Classes and make modifications to a ton of them to get this thing to compile Now I am obviously not the best OOP coder or mtasc would just compile (right?)... but I know a enough about AS and OOP so this should be possible. Is there an easier way to do this or does every class need to be massaged to get mtasc to compile? Is there a -nonstrict flag (i wish)...?? Also what if I were to try to use the Flex compiler, can it publish AS2 for Flash Player 7 (or maybe 8)? Please help!! Thanks for your time.

Re: [Flashcoders] lil' help with amfphp... works locally, not uploaded...
I just added a crossdomain.xml to the web root. No change. The very same .swf file can pull this data when I do Test Movie. The server is an online remote host, not my local computer and not the webserver that hosts the flash file, ie, it's on a different domain, no matter whether I access it Test Movie or web hosted style. I know it's something super simple, the file does seem to work in 2 other situations (local web server and Test Movie).

[Flashcoders] DINAMIC MENU
Hi, I'm loading texts from a XML file to be assigned to different buttons, but this texts have different amout of characters, and I need the buttons to adjust to the amout of characters, keeping the same widht for all of them, and just changing height and make this text to wrap. For example, when text is "home" this button must have one line, but when text is "This text is to long for a button" I need it to be set in 2 or maybe 3 lines. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] lil' help with amfphp... works locally, not uploaded...
Nope. Everything is nice and clean. It's a near virgin install.
Do you get the localhost call in the status bar as well?
It's super simple, it just seems like something about moving the file
online wrecks it. The very same .swf file pulls up the data if I play
it from my computer Test Movie style.

Re: [Flashcoders] lil' help with amfphp... works locally, not uploaded...
is your endpoint set correctly? :
var _service:Service = new Service(gatewayUrl, null, 'Highscores',
null , null);
if Highscores.php is in a highscores or gamesfolder of some sort in
the services folder in amfphp. you need to reference it like:
var _service:Service = new Service(gatewayUrl, null,
'games.Highscores', null , null);
try that..

RE: [Flashcoders] Controlling Accordion using ActionScript
Sorry guys, I am totally brain dead today - It's so weird, how you get accustom to specific syntax for some V2 controls, and when working with a different one, you expect some type of consistency - and you get so focused looking for something, that you flat out overlook the answer. Sorry to post these questions to the list - if I read the Help Docs without having my blinders on, I would have found the answer. In fact, I did find the answers on my own, shortly after posting my last reply to the list. I must say though, after reading every single thread regarding the Accordion Control, it has plenty of limitations, and has caused many people lots of headaches. Thank you again everybody, I am always grateful for your advice.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flowing Text in Flash
I did the same thing a few years ago, and it worked fine. You may run into speed problems if you go over a certain amount of text to scroll however. Instead of using maxscroll, it is a bit faster to use getTextExtent to see if a given line will fit in the text box.. Instead of testing word by word, you can start to make some educated guesses about how many chars will fit in a line, based again on the extent. This way you can make far fewer comparisons. And remember, if you are putting string S into textboxes a,b and c.. there is no need to test anything in c, just dump everything left in. On Mar 29, 2006, at 4:11 PM, Scott Hyndman wrote: If maxscroll equals 1 then subtract the last token. I suspect you mean if maxscroll is inequal to 1. I think this is a fine solution.

Scott -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Chris Hill Sent: Wed 3/29/2006 2:44 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Cc: Subject:[Flashcoders] Flowing Text in Flash I've searched a lot on google and the list and haven't found much, so maybe I'm missing something obvious again. Basically I need to fill a text field, and when that text field is full, i should start filling the next one. My current idea is: Break the text into space delimited tokens. Keep adding tokens and checking maxscroll to see if it is equal to 1. If maxscroll equals 1 then subtract the last token. Move on to the next text field. Not an ideal solution, but the only one that I think will work. Has anyone done anything similar?

RE: [Flashcoders] Controlling Accordion using ActionScript
Mike, You can use either accordionInstance.getChildAt(index) to get an child at a specific index, or accordionInstance.selectedChild to get the currently selected child.

That doesn't change the fact that your application needs to work to your client's expectations. You need to find a solution because that's what you're paid to do. As Danny Kodicek knows coming from a Director background, there were tons of bugs in Director and workarounds had to be figured out to make certain things work. John Dowdell, in his infinite wisdom, got on Direct-L and posted that Director had no bugs, that there was just application behavior that Director developers wished worked differently. At the end of the day, I don't tell my client "Sorry, it's a bug and I can't work around it". I figure out how to get it done, and so should you and everyone else who does this for a living.

It´s possible to make the radio button dispatch the "click" event if i
select it by code?
The following doesn´t work (but of course, if you mouse-select the radio
button, works perfectly):
function setType(){
trace("it works!");
}
linkType_cmp = _root[_root.radioComponent.groupName];
linkType_cmp.addEventListener("click", setType);
linkType_cmp.selected = true;
Thanks in advance!,

resolveSiblings() is the method. Basically, it has some calculations for
finding out if a piece is an end or corner piece by determining
top/bottom/left/right sides based on column and row count.
Might help aid in your resolving some issues in your algorithm

Re: [Flashcoders] Displaying objects
Hehe, all good. Thanks John. I'm sitting here trying to write something
mathematically that works. Turns out I am the suck at math, so it's making
this complicated. Hand coding the array would be laborsome and wouldn't
allow for extensibility.
Grrr...

Okay, I am an idiot :) selectedIndex - duh! For some reason, I was looking for something specific, therefore overlooking the obvious. Still, how to address a MovieClip that has been instantiated by the Accordion Control continues to evade me.

forgive me if this is implied, but there's always been alot of misunderstanding about LocalConnection.. LocalConnection is not used to send messages from one machine to another.

It seems as if the Accordion is only setup to broadcast certain events, when the Accordion itself is actually clicked on. My goal is to remotely control my Accordion control, so that there are multiple ways to cause the Sliding Animation. I have a top MenuBar, in which I want options available, to cause the Accordion Control to animate to the proper Child. Am I missing something, or is the Accordion simply not designed for this? Also, how can I communicate with MovieClips contained within the Accordion Children? It seems as if the Accordion Control is acting as a Container - so must I first create a variable that refers to the Contents of the Accordion, before I can communicate with the Children's components?

Re: [Flashcoders] Testing LocalConnection from a server in the IDE
Hi Mani - Have you prefixed your localConnectionID with an underscore? Try "_id" as opposed to "id". The other gotcha is just to make sure there aren't two instances of the receiving swf running (as often is the case when using one of the SWF2EXE tools), since one will capture all the messages and the other will show nothing. best, - rajat On 3/29/06, Manuel Saint-Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a swf that is sending to a LocalConnection and it works fine when > they are both operating locally but when I place the sending swf to the > server it stops working- this is despite the fact that I have tried > placing > an allowDomain in the receiving swf.

Re: [Flashcoders] Displaying objects
well, if you're using my code, then it would essentially build all pieces
the way you show it happening in that link.
to do it diagonaly the way you specify, there's 2 ways:
1. come up with an algorithm to calculate that type of movement based on
the number of rows/cols you have (ouch)
2. create the grid first, hide all pieces. Create an array by hand with
those values, and loop that array displaying the correct pieces:
var pieceList:Array ({pieces:[0]}, {pieces: [1,14]}, {pieces:[2,15,28]});

Re: [Flashcoders] Displaying objects
Thanks John,
This is great! When I trace this, it works. I've applied it to my code,
and I think I have added something wrong. What happens is that all the
elements just build in a single area.
Here is what I had in the previous code:
http://www.apt11.com/test/test.html
Essentially, I need "0" to display, then "1", "14" then "2", "15", "28" and
so on.
Am I not applying your code correctly? My apologies for the bumbling and
thanks for the help.

[Flashcoders] Displaying objects
Ok, since my email got through this morning, I'm hoping this one gets
through. Here is the question I've emailed four times now. Doesn't show up
in the threads.
Here we go:
Here is what I have so far:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
m = 0;
numTiles = 112;
function placeTiles() {
if (m == numTiles){
m = 0;
clearInterval(buildTiles);
} else {
_root.attachMovie("square", "tile" + m + "_mc", m, {_x:m % 14 * 50,
_y:Math.floor(m / 14) * 50});
myObj = "tile" + m + "_mc";
new Tween(_root[myObj], "_alpha", Regular.easeInOut, 0, 100, 35,
false);
_root[myObj].number_text.text = m;
m++;
}
}
buildTiles = setInterval(placeTiles, 30);
This works fine. Builds the rows one after another. But what I am trying
to do is build one row across and one down. Make sense?
In essence, the final display and position of the objects will be:
123
456
789
The sequence I am after:
1
then
12
4
then
123
45
7
and so on
123
456
78
Help?!

Re: [Flashcoders] Displaying objects
also, i released this in the red5 repository - it's a GridManager class that
you can use to draw a grid (literally or not) and gives you methods like:
1. calcGridLocation() - based on where you mouse is over the grid, you get
back a zero based grid number. So if i you have a 3x3 grid, you might get
back 4 if you're in the center piece.
2. getColRow() - based on the gridLocation number you pass in, you can get
back the column/row numbers that correspond - if you're in 4, you'd get back
2,2 (not zero based)
3. calcCenterSpot() - gives you the pixels x/y of the center of a
particular piece based on col/row you send in.
if you already have a movieclip that has your grid graphic, you just pass
that movieclip reference to initGrid() and all the calculations will be
based on that movieclip. You still have to pass in the grid's width and
height as this isn't always the size of the movieclip etc ;)
http://mirror1.cvsdude.com/trac/osflash/red5/browser/java/server/trunk/swf/DEV_Source/classes/org/red5/utils/GridManager.as
don't know if it's applicable to your scenario, but it works well for grid
based games.

Re: [Flashcoders] nextFrame(), gotoAndStop(), play(), they are different?
My guess is that your swf file is probably cached in firefox, while you may have tried disabling caching in both browsers, firefox, erratically, for lack of a better analysis, caches and reloads swf files. The reason I think this is the problem is because gotoAndStop and nextFrame do not begin playing the file, so using these functions to progress through the timeline will only work if the target frame is loaded. If your target frame is 2, than both nextFrame from frame 1 and gotoAndStop(2) will perform identical results. The play function, on the other hand, will trigger the playhead to play the timeline, and in your particular situation, the play function would merely begin the playhead, remaining on frame 1 until frame 2 was finished loading. There must be a stop function on frame 2, since you aren't experiencing any looping, or the playhead stoping on frame 1 again after going to frame 2, or continuing past frame 2 if there are subsequent frames. It also sounds as if the code on frame 1 is a preloader, if this is the case, maybe you should take another look at it, otherwise, you will need a preloader on frame 1 to ensure that frame 2 exists when you go to it. Hope this helps, M.

RE: [Flashcoders] If not Zinc, then what?
Wow, it was like reading an entry from my journal. I too vowed to never work on another flash projector application again. Zinc seems so powerful from the first glance. But keep in mind just because zinc will place something in the feature list, it doesn't mean it will work in all situations. Even, if you have made a prototype to prove to yourself before making a promise to a client. Do not trust Zinc to come through in the end. Grant put it best and it sounds like we both learned the hard way, Flash was not meant to make even the simplest applications. So if you are in a crunch buy some $700 duct tape (zinc) but don't be surprised when the bugs start rolling in. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grant Cox Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 9:48 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] If not Zinc, then what? We just did our first application with a projector app like this. Thankfully the target was only for Windows 2000 and XP, but it needed to support nice transparency with non-rectangular windows. First I gave Screenweaver OS a go, but it has some major bugs, and almost no development (well, not on the version 3, apparently they are working hard on the beta version 4). After a couple of days we decided that we needed an application that could provide support. We looked at them all, and decided on Zinc, as it seemed to have the most active forums and developers (ie they respond to bug reports quickly), it was cross platform (thinking about future projects), and had a lot of features. Unfortunately we found that CPU usage was extreme - with an application approximately 800x600 it would use 65% of a 3.0GHz cpu just sitting there, and 100% cpu when there was any animation inside the window. This is due to the transparency - it was much better with a regular rectangular window. As our client found this unacceptable we moved to mProjector (at their recommendation). We found mProjector to make the smallest file size, and have the best CPU usage. Unfortunately their support is much slower - the forums are much less busy and the devs will take some days to respond to emails. They were in the process of releasing their new version at this time, so this may explain it (they are a much smaller operation than Zinc). Unfortunately we found there was a bug that would cause the application to crash sporadically (when loading external movies/data), and some two months after reporting this as a bug it was still on their "todo" list. Also transparency was fine in the Flash 7 build, but in Flash 8 was very patchy (I believe this has been fixed since). So, we had to move to Northcode SWF Studio. This was our last option, as we couldn't find any other Projector applications that had synchronous commands (and switching to asynchronous would be far too much work this late in the project). Northcode has fairly quiet forums, but their devs replied to every post at least once a day, and responded to emails within a day (with the timezone difference from Aus to Canada I thought that was pretty good). The downside is that their transparency support was fairly poor - the only reliable method for non-rectangular windows was to have 1bit transparency. They did provide me with a pre-release version with better transparency (which I believe has been released now), however this did have pretty much the same CPU issue as Zinc. So, overall: - Northcode (which we ended up going with) had the best support and least bugs. But did make the largest filesize. - Zinc has the most features, and the CPU issue appeared to just be Flash 8 - all three had ver poor CPU usage when using nice transparency in Flash 8. Medium filesize - mProjector had the smallest filesize, and with Flash 7 had the best CPU performance. The app/libraries had the least features (ie no cross platform, no screensavers, no support for standard rectangular windows). And at the end of it all, I have vowed to avoid working on any Projector applications like this again. They all seem like patchy solutions, and I guess that's why Macromedia never added more than basic fscommands to the standard Flash projectors.

Sorry, an additional step:
6.5. Locate your class to be compiled with MTASC - this would be the class
that has the main static method.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flasc - simple question
ok, if you're doing the sample from the mtasc.org site, then you don't bind
that to a movieclip, you just include it as a class to be compiled with
MTASC.
So, the steps would be:
1. Create your FLA
2. Create your squares/triangles objects
3. Publish with IDE
4. create new project in Flasc
5. Give friendly name
6. Locate the published SWF
7. UNcheck the header settings - they're already set. If you DIDN'T
uncheck this previously, that's why you lost your objects.
8. click edit tags - check -mx, check -main
9. Hit done
10. Compile
Now you should have a swf that has your objects on stage and now a new text
field with your "hello world" copy in it.
Does this make sense?

Hi Alfredo,
Having just done a quick Google - instead of transforming each "+"
symbol, just call this:
Server.URLEncode(myString)
where myString is the value you want to encode.
For example:
&titulo3=<%=Server.URLEncode("Here is my text with a + in it")%>
Or something similar.

RE: [Flashcoders] "+" simbol issue help
If the font is Verdana, then it doesn't make sense to embed as Verdana
exists on most operating systems... Certainly 99.9% (not checked, but I
doubt exagerated) of the market Verdana is more ubiquitous than
Flash itself ;-)

My guess (and it is only a guess) is that Flash is treating the
contents of LoadVars like a url-encoded string. e.g.
&thing1=Something+something+else&thing2=Another+thing
Which would mean that it probably replaces your '+' symbol with a space.
I'd try urlencoding your vars before you output them (in your ASP file
- I'm not sure what the urlencode() function is in ASP but I'm sure
there is one). That way, the characters should get through okay.
For example:
&thing1=A bucket of frogs+toads
would become:
&thing1=A+bucket+of+frogs%2Btoads
See? It's encoded the + symbol as %2B.
This will also take care of any '&' or '=' signs that might cause you
problems.
Hope that's helpful,
Ian

Re: [Flashcoders] "+" simbol issue help
So I'm guessing that misVars.titulo3 is the one that contains a +?
Are you absolutely *sure* the symbol has been embedded? And is it possible
that you've embedded a different character than the one you're being sent?
Perhaps your font has two + symbols?
Danny
yes i added the symbol in the list
and i did everything that i do allways
the code is simple:
*
misVars = new LoadVars()
var cantidad:Number
misVars.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
//trace(misVars)
cantidad = misVars.cant
montoDatos()
trace(misVars["titulo"+3])
}
else{
trace("error al cargar los datos")
}
}
misVars.load("http://www.inaltia.es/demo/loadInfoNoticias.asp";, GET)

Re: [Flashcoders] "+" simbol issue help
Oh - just to point out - I'd imagine (again, untested - I never use LoadVars in it's normal form) that Flash takes care of converting the text back again so that you don't have to worry about it. All you should need to change is your ASP file, no Flash code.

Re: [Flashcoders] "+" simbol issue help
My guess (and it is only a guess) is that Flash is treating the
contents of LoadVars like a url-encoded string. e.g.
&thing1=Something+something+else&thing2=Another+thing
Which would mean that it probably replaces your '+' symbol with a space.
I'd try urlencoding your vars before you output them (in your ASP file
- I'm not sure what the urlencode() function is in ASP but I'm sure
there is one). That way, the characters should get through okay.
For example:
&thing1=A bucket of frogs+toads
would become:
&thing1=A+bucket+of+frogs%2Btoads
See? It's encoded the + symbol as %2B.
This will also take care of any '&' or '=' signs that might cause you problems.
Hope that's helpful,
Ian
