[Flashcoders] Weird problem with encryption...
I'm working on some encryption classes, and I've run into an extremely odd problem. Let me give you an example: http://www.horsefish.net/businesstools/sample.html Scroll to the bottom to the Encryption Test and type "asdf" in the clear text string field. You'll notice that it breaks when you type the f. However, if you change any character in the string or any character in the key, it works fine. If you continue typing "asdf" repeatedly you'll see that it breaks at predictable intervals. My first thought was that something must be wrong with the characters being used to pad the strings, since it always seems to break when you reach half a block. So I spent all kinds of time going through the algorhithm and replacing the pad characters to see what I was doing wrong, etc, but found nothing. Then I noticed something odd. If you switch to XXTEA using the combobox in the top right corner, you can produce the same error. Type "Hello, my name is " (including the space at the end) and you'll see the same thing happening. Add a character or change any character in the string and it encrypts and decrypts correctly. Needless to say, I find it exceedingly odd that both ciphers would suffer the same flaw, despite the same flawed developer working on both of them. I don't know if the MD5 class suffers the same problem, since it's one way and I don't have a good way to check it short of using someone else's implementation to repeatedly check strings until I find a key/message pair that produce the wrong result. So, the point of all of this is that I believe, after banging on this for some time, that there must be some character that is being generated by the cipher that Flash isn't handling properly. The encrypted string is generated in both classes by using bitwise operators to alter character codes, and what I think may be happening is some non-printable or otherwise unimplemented or incorrectly implemented character code is being generated in the cipher text, which is causing it to output garbage instead of valid cipher text. Of course, when I try to decrypt the garbage, it only returns garbage. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any light you guys can shed on this would be helpful. ryanm ___ 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] Key.CAPSLOCK woes.
Long time Flasher with the discovery of a simple issue that appears
to be a show stopper. I have never had any issues with keyboard
input, but can't seem to detect whether the caps lock key is held
down. These two trace actions consistently return the same Boolean
value based on the toggled state of the caps lock key:
function onEnterFrame() {
trace(Key.isDown(Key.CAPSLOCK));
trace(Key.isToggled(Key.CAPSLOCK));
}
I can only test on the Mac at the moment, but when I test the SWF in
the Flash debug player or through the Flash plugin I get the same
results. Both of those trace actions return true if the key is
toggled, and false if it is not. Even more frustrating is that the
caps lock key does not trigger a Key.onKeyUp event when it is
released – if it did it would be possible to workaround the problem.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or discovered a solution? Is
this a Mac only bug? Does anyone know if screentime or an equivalent
application can workaround not being able to accurately detect key
events with the caps lock key?
Thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] Attention Recursion & Speed Experts
AS2 is no faster than AS1 (in some ways it is slower). Strict typing
has no effect on speed. In addition, this is not AS2 syntax, because
I'm not extending Array, I'm plugging directly into its prototype at the
moment.
It is iterating. It still needs to iterate through all nested arrays
using the same method, which means recursion.

Re: [Flashcoders] Attention Recursion & Speed Experts
I am assuming this is for AS2 - right?
If you want speed that probably means you are dealing with a lot of data(?)
1- What is the typical "recursion" level?
2- What is the typical number of items?
3- What is the typical size of "sub arrays"?
In general making a function call is not fast at all. Better iterate than
recurse.
B.
2006/7/25, Steven Sacks | BLITZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Is there a way to make this script any faster?
Array.prototype.flatten = function(r) {
if (!r) r = [];
var l = this.length;
for (var a = 0; a < l; a++) {
if (this[a].__proto__ != Array.prototype) {
r.push(this[a]);
} else {
this[a].flatten(r);
}
}
return r;
}
This function takes an array and flattens it, meaning any nested arrays
will get flattened into a single array.
Example:
x = ["a", "b", "c", ["d", "e"], "f", ["g", ["h"]], [[], "i"], "j"];
y = x.flatten();
y >> ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j"]
Issues:
Array.reverse() and Array.unshift() are notoriously slow and any speed
gained from doing a reverse while loop would be lost.
I don't see how this script could be sped up, but I'm not a recursion
expert. The current speed increases I have are:
1) Single character variable names
2) this.length stored in a variable avoids computation every loop.
3) Most common if true (not a nested array) comes first
I'm not clear which, if either, is faster:
if (x != y) vs if (!(x == y))
That's the only other place I can see a spot for a possible speed
improvement.
Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] "drop frame" movieclip playback
Sound sync would be off, it would probably only work for silent clips, right? Actually, this is the easiest way to do it. Play some sound on the timeline, the player will take care of the rest, skipping frames if necessary. Some users will have problems, though -- the latest player for Linux, version 7, is famously out of sync. If you want to do it by script you can use getTimer() to get the number of milliseconds from when the SWF has started playing and jump to the frame where it should be.

Re: [Flashcoders] 195 ms versus 57 ms ping time
The latancy really isn't going to create any problems. Latancy is only the amount of time that it takes information to go from one location, to another location. It doesn't actually have much of an effect on how quickly a web page will load (at least, not that you will see). The biggest effect on the speed of the website is based on 3 things. Bandwidth (both yours and the servers as well as any bottlenecks in between), Server quality (a server is just like any other computer. It can only process information so fast. The better the computer, the faster it can push out the information) and traffic (wich will affect how much the server has to handle, and how much information is going through the "pipes"). Latancy has a small effect on how quickly your website loads, but its so minimal that you don't even need to worry about it in most cases. Now if your having to deal with very high latancy (500+), then you'll notice a difference. But the difference your going to see between 57 and 195 isn't enough to even consider a new host IMO.

RE: [Flashcoders] Need help with posting to Plateau LMS
Hi, I have some experience of working with flash content on LMSs. I don't fully understand your problem however. What close button are you referring to? The browser close button? I did encounter a serious problem trying to ensure flash content on an LMS had sent all its status/completion data before the page in which it was embedded got unloaded (usually due to some user/LMS navigation). I found an IE-only solution which enabled the flash & javascript to hold up the thread until all flash data had been sucessfully sent. It involved using showModalDialog to keep an invisible, modal window open until data sent verification. If this sounds related and you want more detail just let me know.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Remoting Updater
Hi, I downloades it a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure this works. On 7/21/06, clark slater <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: At the start of this week we purchased Flash Remoting for integration with a client's .NET application. When I went to download the updater from the Adobe site I found a 404 error (what's up with the whole site anyway, seems totally unresponsive and often hangs my browser?!). Five days later despite contacting customer support by phone and email we still cannot get Adobe to provide access to the updater, or even acknowledge that the updater page is down. For $1,000.00 you would expect a timely response. Should have gone with weborb.

You could try using loadVars and return a status in xml rather than

var myVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars;
var xml_results:XML = new XML();
xml_results.ignoreWhite = true;
xml_results.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
if (success){
} else {
}
}
myVars.sendAndLoad("yourfile.asp", xml_results, "POST");

This will only set the backgroundColor, the previous function would set the

mc.beginFill(color, alpha);

}
mc.drawRect(1, 0, this.__width, this.__height);
mc.endFill();
mc._width = this.__width;

ok, ive searched everywhere for this, and can't find a solution that

it semi-transparent would be even better, but at this point take
whatever.
i've tried:
_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.backgroundColor = undefined;
_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.setStyle("backgroundColor",
"transparent");
these remove the background, but also disable interactivity.
playlist_lb.border_mc.visible = false;
i read that this should work, but dont get any results.

WHY would someone need so much code just to produce sequential tweenings? A bunch of specialized functions just to make it work? And then suppose he has an slightly different animation he wants to do at the same time, will he need new functions, or add parameters to those functions, and so long and so forth? Why something so convoluted for something so simple? Simply because the tweening doesn't support delays? :( don't worry i don't take it personally its only programming :) To me it doesn't seem complicated, just a couple of functions, nothing special in either function. If it doesn't fit the requirements, so be it. Sorry for the rant, but really, there's a moment you have to use the best tool for the task - and I don't mean only the easiest. The tweening classes included on Flash are cool and all that, but they're too basic, too raw. Why you'd need dozens of lines just to do something that can be done with one single line in a pretty straightforward way is beyond me. Most of the times I have to build sites, there's so much having to be animated correctly that if I resorted to functions and complex callbacks any time I needed some kind of sequence or delay, my code would be a complete mess and the sequence would be unmaintainable. Now, with delays it's as easy as it gets. It's easier to read, debug, write, change, etc. Don't be sorry, if it upsets you then best to let it out, bottling things up isn't good for the soul :) Anyway, to consider if its easier to change then it really depends on how you want to change it. In some cases yes its undoubtedly easier, in other cases i think it could be harder but I don't know the API of your tweening classes so I cant say. What if i wanted to trigger something when each tween ends? What if i want to perform an action depending on which tween has ended? Each solution has its pro's and con's so its worth understanding the options and the trade offs. Like i said i don't find functions or callbacks complicated, its the bread and butter of programming. The code i showed is an idiom that I've used on a number of occasions, not just for sequencing animations but for various things that need treating in a consequential manner and aren't all necessarily time based. My advice is to still use another solution. MC Tween, laco's, Fuse Kit, it doesn't matter. Any of them will do the trick. Mine too :) I don't know any of the other animation kits so I couldn't vouch for their ease of use, size when installed or performance, but I've heard good things about those you mention. anyway..shop around, its always the way to get the best deal and the solution that fits your needs.

[Flashcoders] From getPixel to colorMatrix
Ok, what I'm trying to do is getting the color of some pixels of an image and attachMovieClips tinted as those pixels. I can read the color and attach the clips with that color. But I would like the mcs not to be in that plain color but being a little tinted in that color so they keep the original image underneath the color. I think I'll have to use colorMatrixFilter, but I don't know how to get the values from getPixel to the colorMatrix.

Re: [Flashcoders] My swap function does not work
It seems that arguments are passed by values and not by reference.
In fact, in the Utilities.swap methods, o1 and o2 are just fresh copies
of your A & B objects. If you trace o1 and o2 in your swap method,
you'll see that you've successfully swapped o1 and o2, but A and B are
left intact.
You might need to redesign your code by using a reference wrapper or by
encapsulating your objects in a class and create a public method swap()
that will swap its attributes internally.
A little more explanation can be found here (it's as3 related but I
guess it's the same in as2):

Hope it helps,

Re: [Flashcoders] jigsaw puzzle
Hi Natalia,
that sounds like you are drawing lines in the wrong direction at some point.
If you remove the fill of the mask, and define the line type to be a visible
linetype, do you see any straight lines where they shouldn't be?
Bit hard to explain but it will look like a puzzle piece has 2 sidetypes at
the same time: one straight and one curved.

Re: [Flashcoders] My swap function does not work
Hi,
you cannot reassign the objects like you do in your method body.
Reassign parameter values is a bad idea anyway i think, but assume you have:
var a = myObj1;
var b = myObj2;
Utilities.swap (a,b);
the swap function receives a copy of the reference to a and b.
You reassign the copy, and exit the method.
(not entirely sure about this explanation though :-p).
Compare it with:
var a= null;
fill(a);
trace(a);
where fill is function fill (o1:object) { o1 = new Array(); }
the trace will show null.
You need to wrap the objects in another object in order to accomplish what
you want.
For example:
util.swap ({a:myObj1, b:myObj2});
with
public static function swap(ab:Object) {
var tmp:Object=ab.a;
ab.a=ab.b;
ab.b=tmp;
}
