Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Debugging Tool
Yeah that's cool Aaron, I dig the concept. So basically, its a logger with filters that's really lightweight and is just listening for any swf sending it log data, is that about right? I like the multiple channel idea, that's something that's been on the "to be looked at" list. You know, with more items like this, xray and FlashInspector, it'd be nice to have some cross support for eachother. I know I had talked about doing this along time ago, but having some reserved localConnection names and possibly some API's published so that the tools could be customized/integrated where you want them. LIke I know that people might like Xray for certain features, but they dig FlashInspector's logging over xray's. It'd be nice to have them in the same container if I wanted to make that available for people. Know what I mean? I don't know, Just a tought. PS> again, I dig how lightweight this seems - a simplified UI can never be under estimated in it's affect on how the user feels about using it. I could easily see people opting for something like this, where as Xray seems a bit overwhelming, know what I mean?

Re: [Flashcoders] Text link on hover
It accually doesn't use any extra textfields, it stores the htmlText value
of a textfield and gets the coordinates, it then resets the tf to the
original value. I am thinking of making this a subroutine; assigning a
textfield some value dynamically would be done through a special function
that gathers spacial data before assigning the value.
Right now the the total operation is written in 300 lines of algorithmic
code. I am frequently coming up with optimizations, so this number is
droping... I will make it open source when it's finished because I
finddevelopers and designers are often upset about not being able to measure
rendered textfields.
I figure this can be used for more than just text hover states. This will
get you a rectangle of text, and it will also get you line metrics so I am
thinking it will allow for some creative possibilities with typographic
animation. It could be that a function defines the rectangle of all letters
in a sequence for use with just words or short sentences. I suggest words
and short sentences as any large body of text would cost too much in system
resource with too many rectangles =]
The dude at quasimondo.com tried mimicking the getLineMetrics function from
Flex using bitmapData and getColorRect to measure the width of lines. It
fails with custom anti aliasing, maybe even anti aliasing for animation. For
some reason converting anti aliased text to bitmap data results in a blank
bitmapData object...
I wanted to run with his code but I found that it became far too elaborate
as I was having to put the textfield in movieclips to get it to convert to
bitmap data. This solution would fail too when image tags are used.
It's a great theoretical solution but not a good practical solution.

What you're trying to do is really interesting :-).
As I can guess, to work with non-monospace fonts, your getWordRect
function should be quite smart...
Also, the only way I can imagine so far (in about 15 min) must
probably use a lot of duplicate textfields to get all these
dimensions.
What do you think, how often the need for hover event in html text
arises?

RE: [Flashcoders] XML diff
Thanks for the advice - the good news is that each child tree will have a unique id. So finding new or mssing child trees will be the easy part - since I wrote that original email I've been playing with how to do a diff between two arrays which is working well - it tells me which elements are new and which are gone. So the hope there is that I can filter out child trees that are identical and only do the diff on those that have changed. Can you think of anything else which would speed up the process? oh - also - each option will have a unique id and a set list of attributes which is good news. The values may change but that can all be part of the comparison. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Ron Wheeler Sent: Sat 6/10/2006 5:07 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] XML diff Just hang onto the xml tress and walk them in parallel.

[Flashcoders] How to display Image decoded base64 (bytearray ) using loadMovie in Flash 7
Flashcoders, i am calling a servlet to decode the base64 format in to byte array and return as response. I can able to load image using the below function in Flash 8 var ByteArrayServlet:String = " http://www.mywebserver.com//servlet/DecodeServlet";; loadMovie(ByteArrayServlet, imagecont_mc); But the same wont works in Flash 7. Is there is any other way to display the image in form of byte array as response in Flash 7 player. thanks, santhakumar ___ 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] mmog server
I think the best thing to use is something which using that binary format of Adobe Flash. I think they call it AMF. Somehow I have the feeling the performance of this is better then using something like XMLSocketServer. Of course, this all change when you are able to use ActionScript 3 and his binary sockets. In theory you could use some standardized MMOG server, if available. ___ 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] mmog server
I reccently created a post asking the same question as the company i work for was in a simmilar situation. In the end we decided to go for SmartFox as money wasnt realy an problem, dedicated custer support and ongoing upgrades became more important. I have been coding in smartfox for a coupple of weeks now and its great, the documentation and tutorials are very good, however i found that i had to write a wrapper the main class the SmartFoxClient as it doesnt implement listeners natively, but that wasnt too much of an issue :) Other alternatives were Red 5, Electroserver, Oregano and Unity.

Re: [Flashcoders] Is Object scope lost when using Delegate?
ahhh yes julien you are correct. In fact this is almost the exact thing i
did when you advised me on listeners a few posts back :)

I'm afraid mike but you're wrong.
The MovieClip.onRelease handler doesn't pass any parameter...
From the help files : MovieClip.onRelease = function() {}
What Jeff could do is using a Delegate alternative class that allows him
to pass parameters to the handler, but he can also link his button
movieclips to a class that would dispatch events:
class MenuButton extends MovieClip {
// EventDispatcher mix-in functions here
public function MenuButton(){
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
}
public function onRelease():Void {
dispatchEvent({type:"click", target:this});
}
}
class Menu extends MovieClip {
private var btn1:MenuButton
private var btn2:MenuButton
public function Menu(){
btn1.addEventListener("click", Delegate.create(this, onMenuRelease);
btn2.addEventListener("click", Delegate.create(this, onMenuRelease);
}
private function handleEvent(event:Object):Void {
if (event.target == btn1) {
// do some stuff...
btn1.enabled = false;
btn2.enabled = true;
}
if (event.target == btn2) {
// do some stuff...
btn2.enabled = false;
btn1.enabled = true;
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Slowing down the action (problem with a pause)
What you are now seeing should be like the graph appearing all at once after some "thinking time", e.g. it blocks other animations/code exectuion during this for-loop (Unless I´m not up-to-date with the screen-refresh-behaviour of the MovieClip.lineTo-method) Now adding a while-loop will only increase the time needed to execute the whole for-loop, but it will not change the fact that the screen is refreshed after all your code has processed, e.g. the whole graph has been drawn. An Interval will get around this issue, because it will not block any other code running (it´s asynchronous to your other timelines), and will update the screen after every execution. Thus it´s the only way to make the graph look like beeing drawn. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ville Walveranta Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2006 9:11 AM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Slowing down the action (problem with a pause) Thanks for the response, André! The problem with replacing the for-loop with an interval is that the array graph_coordinates contains plenty of data both before and after the segment that is to be visualized.
