Re: [Flashcoders] Accessibility, MSAA Screenreaders
Hi Jamie, I am working on several Flash RIAs and recently focus on the accessibility support (screen reader, keyboard navigation, colorblind, high contrary, etc..). For some reason, the only screen reader we officially support is IBM Home Page Reader 3.04+. Same as you, I find even I change the _accProps.name and call Accessibility.updateProperties(), the screen reader never automatically read the flash content. Instead, the user has to press Enter key to focus the Home Page Reader to read current item. I set focusSimple=true to the root accProps. When the flash movie is loaded for the first time, I will set some welcome messages and the basic information to the accProps name. Then every time the focused movie clip is changed, I reset the accProps to crossponding data. So after pressing ENTER key, the screen reader is able to read different messages. Even the Flash movie loads external data at runtime, crossponding new elemetns can be read. Let me know if you need further information. On 5/11/06, Jamie Owen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All.

Is there anyway to make the reader start reading the new content straight away as what happens when a new page loads?

Re: FW: [Flashcoders] sprouts data structure
Yes, and the idea isn't difficult, but can be computationally expensive. Generate a tree of possible moves and number them recursively, starting with 0 at the leaves of the tree (note the leaves are winning positions as there are no further moves). Then work back up the tree numbering each level with the lowest interger, which is not the number of the next lower level. This means winning positions are 0's, the level above is non-0, the level above that must be 0 again Once you have all the positions labeled, the winning strategy is simple. Move to a 0 position. Once on a 0 position you can leap frog through the game from 0 position to 0 position until you win. this is a class of games called Impersonal, 2 person games, or I2p. Mathematicians love these things. Since this recursive numbering grows by a power function, on the number of possible moves, it's often only feasible to run smaller, simplier cases, and then try to find winning strategies that can be extended to more general cases. The goal is of course a proof which may teach him something about graph theory.

Interestingly enough, the outcome is somehow deterministic: from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouts_(game) []By enumerating all possible moves, one can show that the first player is guaranteed a win in games involving three, four, or five spots. The second player can always win a game started with one, two, or six spots.

The intersection check is moot until I can store the current state of the game, update it, and analyze the potential moves. If moves are made that create a cycle, then the possibility of a vertex, or even a subgraph, being contained by that cycle exists, which removes the possibility of edges to a vertex outside the cycle, but not to the vertexes in the cycle. That would have to be incorperated into the data structure. I think the adjacency list might store the position, but then the AI for the game will be very tough to do. As for the intersection check this will work to prevent an illegal move, but the tougher part will be making the computer move if the best move is a line that loops around other vertices.

Re: [Flashcoders] HashMap?
Wouldn't it be true to say that hash maps will get slower as the probability of collisions increase? As the primary area fills up, there will be more occasions when the new key to be added, hashes to a storage location already occupied and a link structure will be needed to store the key(s) in the overflow. Similarly, lookups will start to hit links rather than data which will require that the links into the overflow area be followed. This is where tuning comes in. The fact that there are no tuning options makes it unlikely that hashing is used. Defaults would be hard to set without wasting space or turning the whole thing into a small set of linked lists which work be long to search. It would not be seem to be a very good choice for a default implementation of Arrays. Ron Scott Hyndman wrote: You could figure out how it's implemented by doing some experiments.

Re: [Flashcoders] Stop loading
It seems the only way to stop a sound from loading is to start loading another sound in the same Sound Object. You can even load a sound that doesn't actually exists on the server, it creates an error but it stops the sound from loading. For MovieClipLoader, the unloadClip method works fine although it doesn't fire the onLoadError method like it says it should in the help docs.

[Flashcoders] Proxy for Express Install
Adobe still hasn't fixed the problem (it seems to be coming from them anyway) which is preventing me and others from other parts of the country (and world) from being able to download the Flash Player using the express install feature (or simply trying to download it direct from their site). However, when I use our remote server to get it, not from my own personal broadband connection, there is no problem. Does anyone (Geoff Stearns, perhaps?) know how I could rig up the express install code to use our server as a proxy? ---asai ___ 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] Stop loading
I just tested this code and it worked as it should.
code
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.loadSound(Finish Line.mp3 , true);
s.start(999,1);
function stopSong(){
s.stop();
clearInterval(myTimer);
trace(stopSong called);
}
myTimer= setInterval(stopSong , 1);

I of course put the swf and the mp3 in the same directory to test this.

RE: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader Script Timeout Bug?
I have had this problem too, I don't know of a way in code to get rid of it,
but there are tools around that you can lengthen the script timeout of a
flash movie to whatever you want. Obviously this is a bit dangerous, but if
you are careful you can get the results you desire.

Subject: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader Script Timeout Bug?
Posted this yesterday but it looks like there was a problem with the list,
sorry if some people get it twice.
I think I may have come across a bug in the intrinisc MovieClipLoader class.
When loading a large file using an instance of this class on a slow
connection, the script timeout error is thrown if the content takes longer
than ~ 1 minute to load. Replacing the MovieClipLoader with old fashioned
loadMovie resolves the issue.
This can be demonstrated with the following code:
- Empty FLA with emptymovieclip on stage instance name container
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class ContentLoader extends Object {
private var mcl:MovieClipLoader;
public function ContentLoader () {
loadContent ();
}
private function loadContent () : Void {
mcl = new MovieClipLoader ();
mcl.onLoadProgress = Delegate.create (this, onLoadProgress);
mcl.loadClip (myFile.swf, _level0.container);
}
private function onLoadProgress (target:MovieClip, loadedBytes:Number,
totalBytes:Number) : Void {
trace (bytesLoaded: + bytesLoaded);
}
}
Anyone else encounter this issue? Kinda freaks me out because I have used
MovieClipLoader a LOT in past projects and now I'm thinking users with very
slow connections might be encountering this issue.

Are you using Flash 7 or Flash 8? ___ 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

What about using the following code... s.loadSound(,true);
code
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.loadSound(Finish Line.mp3 , true);
s.start(999,1);
function stopSong(){

RE: [Flashcoders] Stop loading
I thought that I read someplace that this method worked (Where 'audio' is a
created sound object):
code
this.audio.stop ();
//
delete this.audio.onSoundComplete;
//
this.audio = null;
// The only way to stop a sound from downloading is to delete it
delete this.audio;

Re: [Flashcoders] Stop loading
Well, Sound.getBytesLoaded() wouldn't show if a
sound was continuing to load into cache after
starting to load a new (or even missing) sound
file into the same sound object. It would just show loading for the new sound.
But I just ran a test which shows that loading a
new sound into a sound object does, in fact,
curtail an earlier loading of a different sound into the same object:
http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/stopSoundLoad/index.html
In this test, press the first button to start
streaming a 5.7 MB MP3 (just a long pink noise)
via a Sound object. Then immediately press the
second button, which attempts to load a
non-existent MP3 into the same Sound object. Wait
a minute and check your browser cache and you'll
see the first sound (longSound.mp3) never
loaded. If you then click the first button again
but DON'T click the second button, and wait a
minute or so (depending on connection speed),
you'll see that longSound.mp3 DOES show in the browser cache.
