[Flashcoders] What's wrong with my events?
Hi all, I've a movie setup like this
main.fla
var control:MoveMe = new MoveMe(this, 10, 10);
var oViewListener:Object = new Object();
myMenu.addEventListener(mex, oViewListener);
oViewListener.mex = function(oEvent:Object):Void {
trace(oEvent.evsource);
trace(oEvent.msgtxt);
};
and a class with this code
class MoveMe {
function MoveMe(mc:MovieClip, myX:Number, myY:Number) {
mc.attachMovie(mcStart, myMenu, mc.getNextHighestDepth(),
{_x:myX, _y:myY});
}
}
and a movieClip with this code in the first frame
**[mcStart]
this.useHandCursor = true;
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
function dispatchEvent() {
}
function addEventListener() {
}
function removeEventListener() {
}
onPress = function () {
trace(funziona);
sendMessage(prova);
};
onRollOver = function () {
};
onRollOut = function () {
};
function sendMessage(p_msgtxt:String):Void {
var eventObj:Object = {target:this, type:mex};
eventObj.evsource = this;
eventObj.msgtxt = p_msgtxt;
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
}
I read a lot about event dispatching and listening but there's still
something that I don't get.
What's wrong with my setup?

[Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.

RE: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.
PrintJob is a poorly written class in general. Also, it runs synchronously when it talks to the system. The reason Flash throws up the alert is because for 15 seconds it is stuck waiting. The movie is waiting on a line of code to finish. Flash responds to the movie being hung, which it technically is because the request to the OS is synchronous. There isn't a workaround except to not use PrintJob. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 2:38 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.

Steven's response was a little unhelpful :) Is this a known Flash bug? It's not a bug.

RE: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.
Well, there IS a workaround but you have to hack your swf using flasm and set the timeout to some larger number. This really is not recommended and most people use this to actually decrease the timeout delay, not increase it (because they're simultaneously increasing the recursion depth). http://codeazur.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=260 http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=65371 http://www.powersdk.com/ted/2005/11/macromedia-please-add.php -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Sacks Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 2:58 AM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.

RE: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.
It's not a bug, its poor programming by Macromedia... Fact is, the Flash Player should put the PrintJob process into a separate thread, but it doesn't...

[Flashcoders] If not Zinc, then what?
Or it`s better run away from them and develop the tool using C# or something like that? I use Flash for creating apps delivered through web. I use Director for creating locally deployed app. I create some serious apps such as credit card processing touchscreen running 24/7, and Director does it well. I feel using Flash for such app development is like using screwdriver as hammer - sure you can use it, but if there is a better tool for the job. I always had this feeling Flash is not meant to be run for a long period of time - no one will interact with your Flash movie on browser for 24 hours continuously, so that's absolutely fine.

And for the record, I am certainly no friend of the PrintJob class. It's poorly written and I've pointed out its numerous flaws in previous posts to this list. Yes, it shouldn't have been coded to work the way it does. The way it works is poorly thought out. But, that doesn't mean that it's a bug because it technically is working exactly as it should.

RE: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.
PrintJob works fine in simplistic Flash movies. Try and do anything advanced (such as a stock exchange trading system) and it will cause the alert to appear. That ain't an error with my code! Ah ha! So now we get to the bottom of it. PrintJob does not cause Flash to alert about a slow running script. We've established that. You can't say it's PrintJob's fault anymore just because your app is more complicated. If it works in a simple test, it works period. The issue lies somewhere else. Without looking at your code, my best guess is that you are running processes at the same time as a PrintJob starts. What's happening is that you have some script expecting a method to finish running, but the PrintJob starts and, because it's a synchronous call, Flash sits and waits. Unfortunately, you've got some other code trying to run or code that was in the middle of something and because it got locked up while Flash waits on the PrintJob to complete, it thinks Flash is locked up and Flash throws the error. So, yes, it is a problem with your code. You need to halt all processes before your PrintJob starts. Do not use the SLI injector to increase the timeout. That's like injecting painkillers in a broken ankle so you can keep running. Fix your code. -Steven ___ 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

I´m using an SWF Studio App 24/7 here at work (kind of XML news ticker/reader) and it works just fine. Hi André, Does your app have heavy user interaction? Does it have multimedia (audio and video)? Does it have multiple SWF modules rather than just one SWF? Is it full-screen app? If so and it's stable I'd look into SWF Studio (no OSX is bad though!)

Re: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.
And for the record, I am certainly no friend of the PrintJob class. It's poorly written and I've pointed out its numerous flaws in previous posts to this list. Yes, it shouldn't have been coded to work the way it does. The way it works is poorly thought out. But, that doesn't mean that it's a bug because it technically is working exactly as it should. I think we're in a semantic discussion about what is and isn't a bug here. I agree with Steve W: I can't see that the Flash engineers would have specifically designed it with this behaviour in mind, and the behaviour is not what the function ought to do from a user's perspective, therefore it's a bug. (Otherwise you could argue that *every* program is doing exactly what it was programmed to do, therefore nothing is a bug). I would argue that Flash's 'is it hanging' test should be given a hook that the printJob (or other) classes could talk to, which essentially stops it checking until the function is returned. Anyway, I was under the impression that it counted number of lines of code executed, not time taken. In particular, your discovery that this doesn't occur in a barebones movie would seem to imply that it *is* a bug, because somehow the synchronicity isn't being maintained.

RE: [Flashcoders] If not Zinc, then what?
I use Flash with a C# backend for a kiosk system. It enables me to provide card scanning, coin mech, note reader, printer and database support. This system is run 24/7 and the only issues I get is to do with my C# coding relative to the odd network glitch... Other than that, it stands up to anything.

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+elsething2=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] 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.

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] 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.

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]});
for(var i:Number=0;ipieceList.length;i++)
{
for(var j:Number=0;jpieceList[i].pieces.length;j++)
{
this[piece_ + pieceList[i].pieces[j]._visible = true;
}
}
Either set visible to true of tell it to gotoAndPlay(transitionIn) or
whatever you have in frame lables etc.
Make sense?

[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?

[Flashcoders] Controlling Accordion using ActionScript
Hello All, I literally read ALL the posts in the Archives regarding the Accordion component, and there was no mention of what I need. 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? There is no reference to this topic either. Kind of like the Window Control - myWindow.content.controls?

Re: [Flashcoders] Testing LocalConnection from a server in the IDE
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.

Re: [Flashcoders] Testing LocalConnection from a server in the IDE
Alan- They're both on the same machine but thanks for clearing that up either way. I was thinking that I could test a file sitting on the server using a local swf file and the local connection. I tried putting the domain permission etc but to no avail. Finally I resolved to just placing the other swf file on the same html page in a debug version.

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. Both methods should return a reference to a movie clip within the accordion. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/3088.html http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/3091.html Regards, Peter deHaan Adobe Systems Incorporated On 3/29/06, Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Okay, I am an idiot :) selectedIndex - duh!

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.

sounds like your trying to connect to your localhost amfphp gateway from the web version.. change your gateway to point to the gateway on your site. (IE, you should have one amfphp install on local( thats the one thats working ) then one in www.thelargeglass.com/ flashremoting/ you want to connect to the one online.. hope that helps smith On Mar 29, 2006, at 3:02 PM, Count Schemula wrote: http://www.flash-creations.com/notes/servercomm_remoting_amfphp.php I have the above file working well on a local test server.

if Highscores.php is in a highscores or gamesfolder of some sort in

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...
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).

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.

At the moment I do this, if forgets about the tween in the timeline and stops moving. Why is this happenning? 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.

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.

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.
