Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Getting the selection
It's because the button you click will have the focus. So you should
return the focus on the textfield before you can get the Selection of
the text.
[as]
underline_btn.addEventListener(click, mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,
underline_check));
function underline_check(evt:Object):Void {
Selection.setFocus(editdesc_txt);
var startIndex:Number = Selection.getBeginIndex();
var endIndex:Number = Selection.getEndIndex();
var strToUnderline:String =
editdesc_txt.text.substring(startIndex, endIndex);
trace(String to Underline:
+strToUnderline+|B:+Selection.getBeginIndex()+ |E:
+Selection.getEndIndex()+ |C:+Selection.getCaretIndex());
editdesc_txt.replaceText(startIndex, endIndex,
u+strToUnderline+/u);
}
[/as]

Can anyone tell me why this outputs -1 for every value?
Could it be because the
textfield looses focus when I click on the button
component? I am trying to
get the first and last position of the selected text in a
dynamic textfield.
Any pointers would be awesome!
Outputs: String to Underline: |B: -1 |E: -1 |C: -1
var underline_check:Object = new Object();
underline_check.click = function(eventObj:Object) {
var startIndex:Number = Selection.getBeginIndex();
var endIndex:Number = Selection.getEndIndex();
var strToUnderline:String =
editdesc_txt.text.substring(startIndex,
endIndex);
trace(String to Underline: +strToUnderline + |B:
+Selection.getBeginIndex()+ |E: +Selection.getEndIndex() + |C:
+Selection.getCaretIndex());
editdesc_txt.replaceText(startIndex, endIndex,
u+strToUnderline+/u);
};
underline_btn.addEventListener(click, underline_check);

[Flashcoders] Deafening silence on Unicode
Ok, I haven't had a lot of response to my various queries to this list about Unicode issues. Is that because no one here knows anything about it? I'd really appreciate some thoughts on this issue or pointers to any resources, as I'm currently embarking on a major project to completely revamp our software's localisation system and it's not something I want to go into blind. In particular, right now I'm trying to find a way to perform String.fromCharCode() operations using ANSI instead of Unicode, without switching the whole system over to ANSI (as I could do with System.useCodePage) Another issue I've noticed recently: The Flash docs (in the notes on System.useCodePage) talk about external text files being encoded 'as Unicode' but doesn't go into any details. It seems to mean UTF-8, judging by my tests, but can it also deal with UTF-16? UCS? Other encodings? Can it deal with Big-end/little-endian? If so, how does it go about working out which encoding to use to interpret a particular file?

RE: Re[4]: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts
I agree that Zarates sollution with one swf is very nice! And will work in most cases. The only problem is that you are bound to the glyps Flash imports for a font-object. The workaround would be to create a swf with SWFMill so you can specify all glyps or use textfields then you can specify them yourself, but then you'll have to have two swf's. One for runtime export and one for runtime import, that's the case.

Re: Re[6]: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts
Hi Ivan, Your name and link to the Shared Font Manager are there because I looked at them before developing my own method. I thought (and still think) I should thank everyone that had tried to solve the problem before. What we use to know as previous work. Having said that, I really think you do not have any kind of copyright over the two-files-per-font approach. I mean, you're absolutely free to do/sell whatever you want (really happy to know you are still making money from it), but, IMHO, you cannot blame someone else for using a similar approach to solve the same problem.

[Flashcoders] NumericStepper in CellRender disappears and gets 256 levels of recursion...
Hey all --
I'm using a NumericStepper in a CellRender and I'm getting some kind of
weirdness when I'm clicking on it - it dissappears while I'm stepping
up/down, and if I hold it down I get the '256 levels of recursion' happening
in it.
In the .as file I've got the change happenining in there - so obviously when
I'm pressing it down it's always changing -- but where else should I do it?
public function change() {
listOwner.dataProvider.editField(getCellIndex().itemIndex,
getDataLabel(), step.value);
setValue(step.value, item, true);
//listOwner.dispatchEvent({type:cellEdit});
//listOwner.dataProvider[getCellIndex().itemIndex][getDataLabel()] =
step.value;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Deafening silence on Unicode
but can it also deal with UTF-16? UCS? Other encodings? Can it deal with Big-end/little-endian? If so, how does it go about working out which encoding to use to interpret a particular file? Flash Player 6 and later looks at BOM when reading text data. If it's 0xFE the data is treated as UTF-16BE, if it's 0xFF then UTF-16LE, and if there's no BOM it will be treated as UTF-8. I don't think Flash can handle any other encodings.

[Flashcoders] Get Original Variable's Name in Function?
Greetings all,
Is it possible to retrieve the name of the variable passed into a
function? For instance:
function myFunct(str:String){
// GET ORIGINAL NAME of str?
}
var foo:String = ABC;
var moo:String = DEF;
myFunct(foo);
myFunct(moo);
In the above, how can myFunct know that the first call was sent 'foo'
and the second call was sent 'moo'?

Re: Re[4]: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts
I agree that Zarates sollution with one swf is very nice! And will work in most cases. The only problem is that you are bound to the glyps Flash imports for a font-object. is this the only case ? The workaround would be to create a swf with SWFMill so you can specify all glyps or use textfields then you can specify them yourself, but then you'll have to have two swf's. One for runtime export and one for runtime import, that's the case. actually, you can, SWFmill and more: http://www.v-i-a.net/blog/archives/43.html http://www.deja-vue.net/blog/2006/05/26/as2-sharedfonts-datagrid- example-the-last-stand/#more-42 Bernard -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Cedric Muller Verzonden: dinsdag 30 mei 2006 10:47 Aan: Flashcoders mailing list Onderwerp: Re: Re[4]: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts ok, maybe it is the not the *best*, but it is definitely the one which narrows down the problem to ONE swf ... of course, erixtekila's solution is in the same verve: yours is Flash IDE, his is Open Source cedric Thanks Cedric :) However, I really don't care now which option is the best (but hey, thanks again :P), I just want to understand what Ivan means with: use solutions with dubious copyrights Seems a little bit of FUD, actually.

Re: [Flashcoders] geturl:javascript is causing images to not display on IE
I was under the impression that getURL(javascript:) no longer worked in
Flash 8. Is this incorrect?
Geoff Stearns wrote:
are you making the js call before the page is done loading?
the browser might be treating is as an anchor click and stop loading
the remaining items on the page (this is normal browser behavior)
since you are using Flash 8, why not use ExternalInterface to make the
call? in IE that will have the player use fscommand (basically) and i
think your images will stop dissapearing. (or failing to load as the
case may be)
On May 28, 2006, at 9:50 PM, Phil Glatz wrote:
I've been experiencing an intermittent problem with a getURL call
back to a javascript function on the page calling an SWF.
I'm using Flash 8, and testing on XP. With Firefox, there is no
issue. With IE 6, I experience the problem about 80% of the time.
This issue is that I have my SWF in a div, with some divs below it
containing some gif images. When I flush the browser's cache, the
images always display. After subsequent page refreshes (F5), the
images usually don't appear (but sometimes do).
I'm using the SWF to display some variable content, filling dynamic
text fields from passed variables. I can also select from a number
of fonts via a passed var. When the font changes, the div height
needed to contain the stage changes. I created an actionscript
function that passes the new calculated height back to the page via a
javascript call:
function resize() {
if (allowResize == true) {
h = Math.ceil(pBody._y+pBody._height)+10;
getURL(javascript:setFlashHeight('wrapper','+h+'););
}
}
The HTML page has the javascript function setFlashHeight() that
resizes the enclosing division for the SWF, via DOM. Like I say, it
all works fine with Firefox, and the HTML and CSS are both correct.
I first suspected a DOM issue, but I later discovered that if I added
a return statement as the first line of the javascript function, the
problem persisted.
If I comment out the getURL call in the actionscript, my disappearing
image problem goes away. So it appears to be a Flash issue of some
sort, which I'm not understanding.
I've Googled around a bit and can't find anything remotely related to
this problem. I'm on a tight project deadline and am about to send
$99 to Macromedia for a support call. I thought I'd check with this
wise group first to see if this rings any bells. Is this some sort
of known issue with Flash/IE? Driving me nuts!
thanks, Phil

arguments.callee to work this out.

RE: [Flashcoders] Get Original Variable's Name in Function?
I'm trying to create a _root level trace function where I can simply
pass a variable to a protoype function and it prints out the variable
name and value. Here is the pseudocode for what I want to do:
MovieClip.prototype.TraceThis = function(str){
Trace(str.Name + : + str.Value);
}
var myVar:String = This is my value;
TraceThis(myVar);
Simple function that would save time when developing by allowing me to
just pass a variable and it would spit out both the name and value
without me always typing it out (trace(myVar = + myVar).
I guess I'm lazy...

RE: [Flashcoders] Get Original Variable's Name in Function?
The problem here is, if the variable is not constructed as the property
of an object, then the name is not kept. For example:
class MyClass
{
public var pvar:String = fine;
public function MyClass()
{
var lvar:String = not fine;
tracethis(lvar);
tracethis(pvar);
}
}
While pvar will have its name somewhere in the instanced objects, the
lvar will not. This is because flash will drop the naming as its scope
is at the function level and so is not important.

Why would you need to know the variable name? It sounds like something

Re: Re[4]: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts
The workaround would be to create a swf with SWFMill so you can specify all glyps or use textfields then you can specify them yourself, but then you'll have to have two swf's. One for runtime export and one for runtime import, that's the case. actually, you can, SWFmill and more: http://www.v-i-a.net/blog/archives/43.html http://www.deja-vue.net/blog/2006/05/26/as2-sharedfonts-datagrid- example-the-last-stand/#more-42 I'll try to take time to translate my article soon. BTW, Mike's one is pretty good also. There is no revolution in this, just a trick. I think that since multi-tiers shared libraries was available (Flash 6, I presume), we were able to use a single swf that contains shared font glyphs. Only RD permitted to find the way. So kuddos to the pionneers : lv and zarate. Let's sum up a little : There are two solutions that use the same trick. The trick is to create a swf that referenced itself has a shared lib (importing AND exporting its own assets) After, you need to be sure to load that swf and wait for a frame in order to be able to use the glyphs. Unfortunatly, it seems that Flash 8 ide doesn't accept to link a swf to itself anymore. swfmill is really a good tool to do whatever you want (good swf knowledge needed) Last thing to note. In order to use shared fonts compiled for swf8, be sure to use the last snapshot of swfmill (unreleased til now) : http://iterative.org/swfmill/pre/ To end the discussion, I wasn't able to use the same trick for other types of assets (bitmap or vectors).

Re: [Flashcoders] Deafening silence on Unicode
but can it also deal with UTF-16? UCS? Other encodings? Can it deal with Big-end/little-endian? If so, how does it go about working out which encoding to use to interpret a particular file? Flash Player 6 and later looks at BOM when reading text data. If it's 0xFE the data is treated as UTF-16BE, if it's 0xFF then UTF-16LE, and if there's no BOM it will be treated as UTF-8. I don't think Flash can handle any other encodings. Thanks, that makes sense. So what about strings? If my swf has a string of, say, an aleph character, and it's embedded in Director, and it passes that string back to Director as the result of a function, how is it sent? How is the Unicode information stored and passed around? What I'm trying to avoid doing, but probably won't be able to, is having to translate all my Unicode strings into numerical arrays of UTF values before sending them out to Director, and vice versa. At the moment my process for reading text in via Director is: Director gets UTF-8 text from the server. It interprets this as a string of 256-bit characters (using ANSI and the system codepage) Director translates this into an array of integers using charToNum() Director sends this array to Flash Flash translates the integers back into a string using my own UTF-8 decoder function. This is ugly as all hell and I'm trying to simplify it if I can (although currently it's looking like I *may* be able to cut out the Director middleman altogether by getting Flash to talk to the server directly. I thought this wasn't going to be possible but it's looking like we may be able to do it after all) Danny ___ 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] relative path issue
To all those trying to test loading of data from relative paths locally, here's a little secret I've learned. At least with Flash 8, the Flash IDE stores the path of the last file opened and treats it like the server root. Let's say you have a local environment with two main directories, a source directory and a deploy directory. - source/ main.fla - subdirectory/ secondary.fla - deploy/ main.swf - subdirectory/ secondary.swf - xml/ data.xml The source file source/main.fla publishes to deploy/main.swf. The source file source/subdirectory/secondary.fla publishes to deploy/subdirectory/secondary.swf. Both main.swf and secondary.swf load an xml file from the path /xml/data.xml. If you open the file secondary.fla within the Flash IDE and test the movie using CTRL+ENTER, the published file secondary.swf will not be able to locate the file /xml/data.xml, because the FlashPlayer will search from the path source/subdirectory/. However, if you then open deploy/main.swf from within the Flash IDE, the opened file main.swf will be able to locate the file /xml/data.xml, because the FlashPlayer will search from the path deploy/, treating it as if it were a server root. Now if you switch tabs back to secondary.fla and test again using CTRL+ENTER, the published file secondary.swf will be able to locate the file /xml/data.xml, because the FlashPlayer will search from the path of the last file opened, deploy/. I hope someone finds this useful. It's been a real timesaver for me. I used to rely on branching for System.capabilities.playerType, but with more complex projects and directory structures it became unmanageable.

That won't work - for example:
var foo:String = ABC;
var moo:String = ABC;
myFunct(foo);
myFunct(moo);
// Output
foo: ABC
foo: ABC

OK, this is not really retrieving the name of the variable therefore

Re: [Flashcoders] Get Original Variable's Name in Function?
Lee, Terribly sorry about that. I'll tell my email delivery system to be a bit faster next time, shall I..? If everyone were to wait to see whether someone else had already replied, nothing would ever get posted. Apologies if, for some reason, it's caused you a problem.

RE: Re[4]: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts
To end the discussion, I wasn't able to use the same trick
for other
types of assets (bitmap or vectors).
If any pionneers feels the need to investigate further.
I have used the same technique for sharing AS2 classes ... never
tried with bitmaps or vectors though
With bitmaps you could use the bitmapdata to draw it in another movie.
Lets say you have a movieclip which holds a logo (library name:
companyLogo).
In that movieclip, you'll have to have something like this as code:
import flash.display.*;
function attachMe(target:MovieClip, objectName:String){
var t:MovieClip =
attachMovie(objectName,image,target.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:5000,_y:5000
});
var b:BitmapData = new BitmapData(t._width,
t._height,false,0x00);
b.draw(t);
t.unloadMovie();
target.attachBitmap(b,target.getNextHighestDepth());
delete b;
}
Now from another movie you load the holder (lets say holder.swf)
And you can call: holder.attachMe(__myTargetClip,companyLogo);

Re: [Flashcoders] Deafening silence on Unicode
I *may* be able to cut out the Director middleman altogether by getting Flash to talk to the server directly. That's how I would do it, Danny. I'd have done it already if I thought I could ;) There's an awful lot of unhooking data from one place and putting it somewhere else in this project. I'm actually drawing UML diagrams, which I've *never* done before. I am also waiting for Director 11 with Unicode, although no one actually said Director 11 will support Unicode - I am just hoping if I kept saying it will actually happen. I'm pretty sure it will - there have been definite hints in that direction. Which is frustrating, because that'll make all the work I'm doing now pretty much redundant, sigh. Hooray for Macromedia's release date secrecy. I personally don't deal with any Unicode data in Director but only within embedded Flash. Yes, that's what we're trying to achieve at the moment. Unfortunately there's at least one place where that won't be possible, which is saving of external files, so in at least one place I'll have to jump through these hoops. But yes, it does look like in this particular instance I'll be able to avoid the problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] Grab IP address

The HTML page has the javascript function setFlashHeight() that

I first suspected a DOM issue, but I later discovered that if I

[Flashcoders] Quotes in XML always require CDATA?
Does it HAVE to be a CDATA node in order to safely include double quotes in an XML file? Be nice if I could do the following, but it's obvious why it breaks: item title=This is my String with quotes/ I'm using iso-8859-1 encoding in the XML, but I think UTF would be OK too.

Re: [Flashcoders] geturl:javascript is causing images to not display on IE
Hrmmm... I'll have to throw up my test later as getURL:Javascript
doesn't seem to work anymore.
Most of the documentation i'm seeing out there is stating that any file
published in flash 8 doesn't allow for the getURL(javascript) calls.
Is there a security setting that needs to be in place for this to work?

[Flashcoders] OnPress, transparent bitmaps
Hey list (I'm a new member), I used to do the following: - create a container clip (mc) - create a clip within mc to hold an image (mci) - create a clip within mc to hold an alpha mask (mca) - mci.setMask(mca) The result was that onPress, useHandCursor, etc. would only respond when rolling over the revealed portion of mc. Now, with Flash 8, I'm trying the following: - create a container clip (mc) - dynamically composite a bitmap with an alpha and attach it to mc This all displays beautifully, is faster, offers better performance, BUT - now onPress, useHandCursor, etc. respond when rolling over the complete clip (transparent pixels are not ignored). Is there a solution for this? I'm aware of the ability to hittest with bitmap objects, but that won't solve the problem of overlapping clips. I'm coming from a Director background - where setting the 'clip' (sprite) to Mask ink would solve the problem. I gather that's not quite how Flash does things. Ideas?

You must be located in the U.S. (Sorry, it's just too complicated tax-wise to work internationally now). I know this isn't thegravy train but I'm working with a client with rather shallow pockets, as I get work that pays more the $30 mentioned above could certainly go up.

Re: [Flashcoders] Get Original Variable's Name in Function?
This isn't possible, because local vars typically (that is, in
function2 which is used for class methods) become registers in the
bytecode, i.e., the name you give a local var won't be included in
your SWF *at all*, they are physically missing in the compiled SWF.
The old function tag used named variables (getVariable, setVariable),
but those string identifiers aren't accessible, either.
You can have a look yourself, simply name a var something you don't
use for a property anywhere (say, asdasd) and search it in the
output of flasm or swfmill. It won't be there. As a simpler test, use
a longer name and observe the file size not getting any bigger.

Greetings all,
Is it possible to retrieve the name of the variable passed into a

function myFunct(str:String){
// GET ORIGINAL NAME of str?
}
var foo:String = ABC;
var moo:String = DEF;
myFunct(foo);
myFunct(moo);
In the above, how can myFunct know that the first call was sent 'foo'
and the second call was sent 'moo'?

[Flashcoders] Movie maker project questions.....
hey all, got a client that would like to have a video maker (basic video editor(something similar to http://www.redbullcopilot.com/ )) section added to an pre-built site. They want to be able to drag and drop a series of FLV clips onto an timeline like area, that could be rearranged , as well as control of of independent audio voice overs(same concept, drag and drop). Thats no problem, what I am not sure about is having all the clips play back in sync with the audio files. Keeping in mind this uses no streaming server, can anyone think of good way to get this all to play back smoothly? and please correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt flash uses different engines for rendering FLV vs MP3 vs timeline animation?. any and all comments are appreciated.

[Flashcoders] Shared font symbols, dynamic text fields, and Flash Player 7
I'm working on a site which uses shared font symbols in both static and dynamic text fields. In FP8, both work great. In FP7, only static text fields work. I'm wondering if anyone knows the secret trick to get dynamic ones to work as well. Things I've tried: - The SWF with the symbol exported is definitely loading before the SWF which is importing it - Embedding all characters in a dynamic textfield in the source SWF - Embedding all characters in a dynamic textfield in the target SWF - Setting embedFonts to true on the target textfield Any bright ideas? thanks, -josh ___ 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] passing variable from email to flash
I'm not entirely sure if these are flash questions, but here goes... I have a couple of question in regards to passing variables from a link embedded in an email to a flash movie. 1. Is it possible to direct people to a specific frame of a flash movie from an email (i.e. if its one swf, can you put them to specific place on the time line). 2. Not knowing how the flash site is set up yet, is it possible to direct them to a specific place in the timeline and then dynamically load in another swf (let's say each page is its only swf being loaded into a main movie on the 10th frame) 3. Is it possible to pass variables by clicking a link in an email so that the system will know the people who come from the email link are members (all people clicking from the email will likely be members) 4. Do the above scenarios involve server side programming? Essentially we would like user to click from an email to a certain page on a flash site, where after a series of activities they would get the opportunity to perform an activity available to members only. If they come from the email link they will be members, but if they have come from a different part of the site, we won't know whether they are members or not. If they aren't, we would invite them to register to become members. If they are, then they can enter their email address and will be prompted for a password. Of course, we will then need to determine what happens when the email is forwarded, but that will be next for us to sort out.

Re: [Flashcoders] passing variable from email to flash
yes, just make your links like this: http://www.example.com/path/to/page.html?variable=value replace variable with the name of a variable you want, and 'value' with whatever value you want to pass. then, in your page.html when you embed the flash movie, you can grab the variable from the url string using javascript (or a server side language) and pass it into the flash movie using flashvars. if you use swfobject, it has a little utility that can grab vars from the url and pass them into the movie, so your embed code would look something like this: div id=flashcontent This text is replaced by the Flash movie. /div script type=text/javascript var so = new SWFObject(movie.swf, mymovie, 200, 100, 7, #336699); so.addVariable(variable1, value1); so.write(flashcontent); /script more info on the script: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ On May 30, 2006, at 9:06 PM, watch dog barking wrote: I'm not entirely sure if these are flash questions, but here goes...

RE: [Flashcoders] Shockwave files.
Converting shockwave files into video is a tricky process. If you use any kind of scripting to control the animation, you're likely to have problems. The only good way I know of is to hook a DV deck to a video output on your computer, if it has one. Then, play your shockwave full-screen while you record on the DV deck. There may be some slight quality loss in this process, depending on your hardware. Sometimes it's tricky to set up this kind of rig working, but if you have the user manual to your DV deck, it's not too hard. :) Once you've got the animation on DV, you need to import it back in as an AVI or Quicktime movie, and do your compression on that. -tom -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Miller Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 10:43 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Shockwave files.
