RE: [Flashcoders] How To Detect the FullScreen mode of the swf file
Hi Sumeet, I tried Stage.Width & Stage.Height but coz we are using Stage.ScaleMode = "showall" the Stage's height & width remains same irrespective of Fullscreen or not. I tried detecting the keys like ctrl-F which is used for making the flash window fullscreen and also used for disabling fullsceen but then user can also use the menu option available in the flash window to make it fullscreen and I was unable to trap the flash menu clicks.

U will be returned with the dimensions the flash player is using. You need to compare the returned value to the array of of existing screen reolutions.

loadWiki.onLoad = function(success){
trace(this);
}
loadWiki.load('

The relevent part of the query:

and so on,
So you would look for the most significant pieces of this string, be
it the string 'Result' and grab every li tag there after to get the
search result. I'm pretty sure you could even throw it right into an
html text if you got the right tags. Just need to do some careful
string parsing.
And btw, I apologize, the google text editor is just no good =[

Re: [Flashcoders] excluding children from setTransform
There is a function I have handy that you could use to solve this. Instead
of using setTransform on your entire movie, you could do it to all
movieclips except ones that contain the images. You could do this by giving
image clips a special flag that your function will ignore.
function getClips(target:MovieClip):Array {
var r = [], i, child, childChildren;
for(i in target){
child = target[i];
if(child instanceof MovieClip){
if(!child.__hasImage){
r.push(child);
childChildren = getClips(child);
if(childChildren.length>0)
r = r.concat(childChildren);
}
}
}
return r;
}
Where __hasImage would be set to true for movieclips that contain images,
this function will return all movieclips that do not contain images.
Hope this helps,
M.

Re: [Flashcoders] Not all MCs get onEnterFrame
it looks like it should work, i would however refactor. in one place you use
the return of attchMovie anotherplace you access the movie via root. have
you go anything else in that movie you are attaching it to, maybe you are
overriding a depth? try getNextHighestDepth instead of handing out depths
yourself...

Re: [Flashcoders] Not all MCs get onEnterFrame
you don't need that, it will be availible because its an anon function
inside another function, therefore all variables inside the containing
function will be availible.
put this in frame 1 of a movie to test
function containing ():Void
{
var p:Number = 8;
this.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
trace(p);
};
}
containing ();

you should set riseSpeed inside the newClip, and then apply the
onenterframe to the clip's _y, like this:
newClip.riseSpeed = ((0.03 * hitherYon) - 1.5);
newClip.onEnterFrame = function():Void {

[Flashcoders] Live Video Encoder

Does anyone have either tutorials or example code of a live video encoder for flash?

As far as the player, we are using a version 7 .exe. The client is limiting us to UNC paths. This is killing the whole deal because it seems that .flvs and the components and stuff that were built to play them only work locally (on your computer) or over http.

Re: [Flashcoders] Not all MCs get onEnterFrame
for this part:
newClip.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
newClip._y -= riseSpeed;

you should set riseSpeed inside the newClip, and then apply the
onenterframe to the clip's _y, like this:
newClip.riseSpeed = ((0.03 * hitherYon) - 1.5);
newClip.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
this._y -= this.riseSpeed;

[Flashcoders] Re: Adobes ActiveX fix breaking js communication in firefox?
Hi jd,
Well I've had another play around with this, and I've
got it to work, if not quite as nicely as I'd hope.
I tried adding the "swLiveConnect" parameter - it had
no effect at all. With the 'normal' (or 'old') way of
putting the movie in the page (OBJECT/EMBED tags) - it
works with or without "swLiveConnect"
With the new way - still no go.
And yep, I was trying this out with an html link, so
the timing isn't an issue.
So I fired up the DOM inspector in firefox, and just
got a handle on the flash movie there and used that.
So what I found is that whereas
function foo(){
var movie = window.document.movie_name;
movie.LoadMovie(1, "loadMe.swf");
}
works fine with the OBJECT/EMBED way, it just wont
work with the dynamic tag writing.
What does work is using document.embeds for firefox.
So though I was hoping I wouldn't have to change any
other code to implement this activeX 'fix', it looks
like I'm out of luck.
So using something like
function foo(){
var movie;
if(window.document.all){
movie = document.getElementById("movie_name");
} else {
movie = document.embeds["movie_name"];
}
movie.LoadMovie(1, "loadMe.swf");
}
does the trick. Bit weird and I don't know why it's
required, but there you go, that's what I came up with
at least. Obviously you'd make a more generally usable
function to grab a handle on the movie rather than
this hard coded example, but you get the idea.
Cheers.

RE: [Flashcoders] FLV Playback Issue From Network Path
Yes, we read and tried the livedocs article about using a .cfg file and that is still no solution for us. The application we are trying to build will run in a WAN. This means that the .cfg file will have to be installed on many users' computers. This is completely out of the question. As far as the player, we are using a version 7 .exe. The client is limiting us to UNC paths. This is killing the whole deal because it seems that .flvs and the components and stuff that were built to play them only work locally (on your computer) or over http. We have been researching and experimenting with this problem for a long time and I don't think there is an answer.

How does RootkitRevealer work? I think it scans your entire hard drive, once using standard windows calls, and once using low level disk access. It then compares the two scans, to look for files that are different between the two, which shows possibly that a rootkit is trying to hide something. However, this could produce false positives (ie, flag files that are innocent), if the file changes inbetween the two scans. For example, say you have a chat program, which logs to disk all incoming messages. If someone sends you a message, after the first scan, but before the second, then RootkitRevealer will detect a difference in the two scans, and flag your chat file as something wrong with it. However, the inability to delete/rename it seems odd. Try downloading Process Explorer http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.htmland searching to see what process is accessing that file. That might give some further clues. -David R ___ 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] FW: SourceSafe??? Recommendations needed.
In our case, all the events are hooked from within ActionScript classes: There are no explicit code in "frames" or "symbols". Example: When we want to attach code to MovieClip (symbol) events - we attach a ActionScript class to a library symbol that extends MovieClip. So really, we only need a single "import" statement in the first frame - just enough so the "compiler" includes the "Main class" which in turn initializes everything. import com.mycorp.Main; Depending on how you work, this might not be suitable. hope that helps, B. 2006/4/24, Loren R.

RE: [Flashcoders] hitTest difference between attached mcandoneplacedon stage in authoring
OK I think I have cracked it! I was going in the right direction earlier
with the localToGlobal thing
This is what I have done to fix it
[code]
var myPoint = new Object();
myPoint.x = _parent.game_mc.player_mc._x;
myPoint.y = _parent.game_mc.player_mc._y;
trace ("myPoint.x before = " + myPoint.x);
trace ("myPoint.y before = " + myPoint.y);
_parent.game_mc.localToGlobal(myPoint);
trace ("myPoint.x after = " + myPoint.x);
trace ("myPoint.y after = " + myPoint.y);
if (_level0.game_mc.bg_mc.hitTest(myPoint.x, myPoint.y,
true)) {
trace ("HIT RIVER BANK ");
}
[/code]
Thanks for all the help. What a waste of a day trying to fix one bug!!
Hi Paul,
The problem is that you attach it as Player_Object and refer to it as
mcDolphin.
Changing:
if (game_mc.bg_mc.hitTest(game_mc.mcDolphin._x, game_mc.mcDolphin._y, true))
{
Into:
if (game_mc.bg_mc.hitTest(game_mc.Player_Object._x,
game_mc.Player_Object._y, true)) {
Solves the problem.
Greetz,
Bernard

RE: [Flashcoders] hitTest difference between attached mc andoneplacedon stage in authoring
Here is the test movie to illustrate the problem
http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/dolphin_new.html
I have stopped the scrolling to make it easier to see the problem. It is
detecting a hit when the dolphin is not touching a river bank.
Do I need to do some sort of localToGlobal conversion?
Thanks

Thanks Bernard - well spotted! I discovered this too but unfortunately this
is only a test movie to try and work out why my main game movie is not
working.
With the test movie - I can replicate the problem if I move the game_mc
movie clip across to the left. Currently it is positioned with an x position
of -105.6
However if you move the game_mc over to the left so it is -235.6 then the
collision detection stops working. I believe the problem with my main movie
is something to do with this.
Any ideas?

[Flashcoders] Component resizing problems
Hi, I am having problems with the resizing of a component... The resizing works fine through the livePreview in the IDE but goes a bit pear-shaped when published. The problem is that the width & height values that I'm receiving through the setSize() method are different from the _width & _height properties of the actual clip when traced first in the constructor. The setSize() ones are correct and the ones in the constructor are about 20% bigger. I'm not extending the UIObject, just MovieClip and I'm calling the setSize function from the constructor to do the positioning. Also, the initial graphic for the component is quite large, around 1200x750 pixels. Has anyone had this problem before or know what it might be? Cheers!

RE: [Flashcoders] PRINTJOB HELL, PRINTJOB NIGHTMARE with several PAGES
You get your text from the textarea and you do this: Dynamically attach a movieclip from the library with a preformatted textfield that exactly fits an A4 page (set movieclip to _visible = false to do it invisibly) and fill the textfield up with the text from your textarea until the textfield is full. Then you add to movieclip to the printjob and push the reference to the movieclip to an array. Cut the remaining text and fill up the next one... Create a loop of this to write out all your text. After all text is written out, you execute the printjob and remove all the movieclips with removeMovieClip by looping the array of movieclips. NOTE : this is easier than it seems.

Re: [Flashcoders] coordinates of a scaled movieclip
When I found this out It confused the hell out of me as localToGlobal had never worked like that before - I just assumed I'd never used it with anything scaled by hand before and wrote that off as the reason. Now if what you're saying is true then it gets even more confusing. One difference may be that I'm actually attaching an MC to point MC and trying to get it's coords? I bet when you attach an MC it doesn't inherit the transform matrix info from its parent. Maybe - or maybe because you're loading content from an outside SWF. I've never tested localToGlobal with both attaching and loading; I'd guess it should work, but I can't test it right now to really know. I'll keep it in mind if I have problems with localToGlobal in the future though; thanks for the info, it has made me curious. - 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] RootkitRevealer flagging shared object... :(
hi all, RootkitRevealer flagged this file as a problem: c:\Documents and Settings\myUserName\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\#name.com. Was able to delete all other files in this folder, this one resists deletion and renaming. Tried deleting it using safe mode too... no luck. Please notice the 'period' at the end of the file name, seems unique and no other files in the folder have one at the end of "com". Googled the real company name and they seem to be a reputable Flash component seller, so i changed it to "#name.com." for this post. Anyone else unable to delete a file in this space?

This swf is loaded into a container MC. localToGlobal gives the correct coords for the 'unscaled' mc's. container_mc.holder_mc.scaler_mc.point_mc The code which works out the point locations is in the scope of holder_mc. But as holder isn't scaled and loaded in at 0,0 it shouldn't make a blind bit of difference. If I want to get the 'real' stage coord for point_mc then I have to apply a scaler factor from it's _parent. When I found this out It confused the hell out of me as localToGlobal had never worked like that before - I just assumed I'd never used it with anything scaled by hand before and wrote that off as the reason.

allright, thanks, I'll check into it.

You're right, it doesn't - you have to factor in the multiplier yourself
Something like this (for proportional scaling)
[as]
function getCoordsOfScaledMCOnStage(mc) {
var scaler = dobmc._parent._parent._xscale/100;
var point:Object = {x:mc._x*scaler, y:mc._y*scaler};
dobmc.localToGlobal(point);
return point;
}
[/as]
Obviously this implies it's not nested deep within tens of other scaled
mc's

Re: [Flashcoders] coordinates of a scaled movieclip
getBounds doesn't really help, as I'm also tracing it, and it doesn't seem
to change one way or the other. (same
with getRect)
to Bernard: I have tried using localToGlobal and the other variant, but no
matter what I do
it doesn't really change values somehow (or maybe i'm doing it wrong). Could
you post
an example as to where, in the boxscaling example, localtoglobal actually
outputs
something different than say the common _x coordinate?
Actually the bigger scope of the problem is finding out the positions of
movieclips within a
parent movieclip which is scaled, I've twidled with some options, but none
seem to work :(.
and to Mark: I didn't actually mean to sound sarcastic, I really did thought
that perhaps
using the coordinates of the centerpoint in the algorithm would do something
meaningfull,
but alas, it didnt, but no hard feelings :).
thanks for the help,

[Flashcoders] Large video and the Camera class
Hi List, We're trying to integrate large amounts of video (hi def) through a Flash UI to control the streams. We can't encode to flv because of other constraints, and using C# to composite knockout areas in flash is causing a lot of flicker. Has anyone tried using the Camera object to deal with large amounts of video, are there any limitations on the Camera object that might stop this? Could we fool flash into thinking the video stream it's getting is from a web cam? This seems like a possible work around, it'd be great if anyone could confirm it, thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] coordinates of a scaled movieclip
When the registration point is not the top-left corner of your clip, you might
want to check the MovieClip.getBounds() method, it's very handy.

Re: [Flashcoders] coordinates of a scaled movieclip
The problem is that even if you change the scaling, you are not changing the
position of the black box in relation of your "local" movieclip. Your black
box is only "moving" in relation to the movieclip parent.
What you seem to want are the coordinates in relation to the parent
movieclip.
To get that, you have to "convert" the coordinates values from your local
movie-clip to its parent. In short: get the bounding rectangle and convert
xMin,xMax, etc. There are methods specifically for that
(localToGlobal/GlobalToLocal). It will do all the dirty computation
(translation, scaling, rotation).
good luck!

Re: [Flashcoders] coordinates of a scaled movieclip
thanks!
you're right, that does pin down the centerpoints' coordinates, should
hopefully get my problem fixed.

Re: [Flashcoders] coordinates of a scaled movieclip
Hi,
as far as I know, there is no clean solution to this problem.
However, if you feel hackish, this /could/ work:
var w = myClip._width;
var h = myClip._height;
var clip = myClip.createEmptyMovieClip( "foobar",
myClip.getNextHighestDepth() );
with( clip ) {
beginFill( 0x00ff00, 100 ) {
lineTo( w, 0 );
lineTo( w, h );
endFill();
}
var x = myClip._width - w;
var y = myClip._height - h;
clip.removeMovieClip();
Now, (x, y) should be the coordinates of your origin (i.e., top left
is at (-x, -y)).
Maybe. I haven't tested it.
Good luck...

[Flashcoders] coordinates of a scaled movieclip
Hi folks,
I have a problem correctly figuring out the actual x value of the top-left
corner of a movieclip when scaling it.
To demonstrate to this:
put movieclip t on stage(a black box). Edit it, so that it's left top corner
isn't on the movieclip centerpoint.
this code on stage:
onEnterFrame=function(){
t._xscale++;
trace(t._x);
trace(t.getBounds().xMin);
trace(t.getRect().xMin);
}
if you execute it, you can clearly see the top-left corner is in fact
moving, due to the scaling.
But the values never change. So my question is:
how do I know the coordinates of the topleft corner of an (off-centered)
movieclip, or
the coordinates of the topright corner of a centered movieclip while scaling
it?
I'm really stuck on this, help would be very much appreciated.
greetings,
Meinte

RE: [Flashcoders] Best practice DLL Integration
That's a little overkill. What's the point in using XMLSockets where the data is persisting in one place? It's better to use SetVariable from the EXE to the Flash movie and send XML as strings to the variables (which are getters/setters), and ExternalAPI for Flash to the EXE which also sends XML. If you look at my blog on my website (www.designrealm.co.uk) I have a post where I explain a good way to proxy xml streams from Flash to functions in your EXE; at least for .NET.

RE: [Flashcoders] Best practice DLL Integration
I did this with a .NET application. Unfortunately, the flash ocx exposes little that allow you to manipulate the running movie. I did manage to exploit the fact that you can use SetVariable to set a setter/getter that is in effect a function, as you normally can't call functions directly from outside the ocx. Course, it still limits you to one parameter. Anyway, I did this for a while with a custom XML parser and sent XML to and from my getters/setters, but in the end, I got pissed off and changed to using Fluorine. Fluorine now allows direct assembly access WITH session handling, which is something Macr's remoting never did. Course, the issue with this is that you will need to use .NET, which might be overkill with a Win32 dll, which to me would suggest using Multidmedia's Zinc.

Re: [Flashcoders] Pushing content from DB to Flash widget
Mick, It is certainly possible. I am currently working on a intranet project that is exactly what you want to achieve. I have about 80~100 clients that are connected to a socket server. Flash clients are build as windows desktop clients and everything goes through persistent xmlsockets. Everything runs smooth and Flash player is quite fast for xml parsing (as long as you keep your messages small and simple). The thing is that it is scalable, if for example I needed to talk to 1000 clients, I could add another socket server Socket servers that you can use for that are ElectroServer, Oregano, Offbeat (the one I use) or of course FlashComm. Don't hesitate to contact me offlist to know more about this architecture. Regards, Julien Mick G a écrit : Does anyone know if it's possible to push content from a database to a list of flash clients (or widgets running on a desktop). I can have a flash app that checks every X seconds for new content from a database, but wondering if there's a way to do it in the other direction and push the content from a database to the flash clients without them having to poll the database. Are XML SocetServers the key here? Is there an issues with server strain on such things if say 1000 clients are connected to the server? Any info, ideas or experiences would be appreciated. - Mick ___ 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
