Re: [Flashcoders] diff between var == value VS var eq value

[Shane Korin]

I think the "eq" and "ne" operators are supposed to be used for String
comparisons, and the "==" or "!=" operators used for numerical or other
comparisons etc.

==  and !=  won't work on strings in flash player 4 (and maybe 5?)

Is the code where == didn't work for Flash lite?

Re: [Flashcoders] diff between var == value VS var eq value

[Haikal Saadh]

Yes, they are different.r

Actionscript dictionary says 'eq' is deprecated. It just compares string 
representations, so what you might be doing is comparing a number to 
it's string representation (User input, perhaps?): 
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary198.html



What == does depends on what sort of data you're comparing. Again, from 
the dictionary:


The definition of equal depends on the data type of the parameter:

	Numbers and Boolean values are compared by value, and are considered 
equal if they have the same value.
	String expressions are equal if they have the same number of characters 
and the characters are identical.
	Variables, objects, arrays, and functions are compared by reference. 
Two variables are equal if they refer to the same object, array, or 
function. Two separate arrays are never considered equal, even if they 
have the same number of elements.

Just curious what the difference is.

Re: [Flashcoders] zoomin'

To follow what micha said, you could also add a little _x movement depending
on the scale of the "timeline" clip... this will give a little more
appearance of a 3D system.

even with a non-standard navigation, which i have alrady seen some years
ago (natzke etc), it stays crap.

but to stay OT: the question was for some ideas to get such an effect.
as this doesn't really need a 3d environment, i'd suggest you
dynamically attach your clips as they should appear in time.
by simply setting a listener for the scrollwheel (look this up in the
manual)  you get your event(s)  (the time). you then scale your clips
according to the _depth they have.

I prefer what CRASH!MEDIA has done with projects/timeline. It doesn't
consume the entire site, letting me feel like I am still in control, not
navigating around in a mess of projects. Thats just me though.

Re: [Flashcoders] zoomin'

[eric dolecki]

Perhaps so, but a website that upfront tells you how to use it (and also has
a help feature in case you need it later) can't possibly be very
usability-oriented. I enjoy creative navigation as much as anyone, but
sometimes it overwhelms the enjoyment of the information in the site itself.

[Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 compiler Qs

[Kevin Newman]

Here are some things I've been wondering about Actionscript 3.0s 
compiler and runtime engines:


I'm assuming AS 3.0 compiles to a bytecode. What kind of bytecode does 
it compile to? Is it more like Java/.NET CLR, or more like Mozilla's 
Spidermonkey compiler?


Does the compiled code get recompiled during runtime to machine code 
(like a JIT compiler) or does it get interpreted?


Also, how does the compiler deal with typing? Statically typed, compiled 
languages usually have the type set in stone at compile time whereas 
dynamically typed, interpreted languages like javascript and php can do 
type coercion at runtime on the fly. Which one does the Actionscript 3.0 
runtime do? Does it do both depending on whether the type is static or 
dynamic?


Thanks, and please correct anything that I may have written if it is not 
accurate. :-)

Interesting concept.  My question is merely on the zooming; zooming

You could define your button in a movieclip - place it in your library, 
and attach it to your movie with AS.


Or skin the button component, and attach that.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 - Decoding a SOAP Response - Array of complex objects

[Merrill, Jason]

Yeah, sorry, this is more of a Perl SOAP WSDL generation issue than a
Flash issue I think.  I don't do the WSDL creation in .NET here, I have
a .NET C# developer I work with.  Nobody here knows Perl SOPA WSDL
creation in my group.  I do know that using native complex objects are
fine with Flash and .NET produced WSDLs, and they semi-problematic in
ColdFusion (according to some recent posts on this list - they
recommended sticking with the straight XML response instead), but I know
nothing of Perl-based WSDL SOAP requests.  I only know the basics of a
SOAP WSDL format, so I couldn't begin to debug yours... sorry.  Have you
compared your SOAP response to working ones on the Web?  

Best of luck to you,

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 - Decoding a SOAP Response - Array of complex objects

[Tom Shaw]

Hi Jason,

Im using Perl with Apach2-SOAP under mod_perl.

If you are sending objects back and forth then I dont see why I should
be having problems.  It must be a problem with my WSDL or Perl SOAP
Response.

Since flash decodes the response according to the WSDL file then it
seems likely there is a problem with this bit.

I have included the WSDL file and a copy of the request and response.
Does the response look vastly different for an array of objects that
you might expect to see on your working Flash/SOAP project?

This is an example and triggers my problem and is as short as I could
make it.

Ok, it is probably really simple for intelligent people, but I'm not

I had to prepare for the exam, and when I did, I think I learned a lot

.NET URL encodes as specified in RFC's 1738 and, for example, 1630, to emulate
the behaviour of web browsers.  The encoding of the space to a plus sign is
something of an anomaly.  The plus sign is just a "safe" version of a space in
a _query_string_, which is part of an URL.  The dot is a safe character and
doesn't need to be _URL_ encoded, so escape() does more than just URL encoding.

[Flashcoders] MD5, escape and ASP.NET-urlEncode

[Roman Blöth]

Hello folks,


just wanted to tell you something and ask for something.

Something to tell:


ActionScript function "escape" escapes "." and " ", ASP.NET function
"urlEncode" does not escape "." and escapes " " as "+".

So Strings escaped in ActionSript will NOT resemble strings urlEncoded
in ASP.NET!


I came across this while trying to make highscore- and user-management
for a small flash game where the swf movie has to communicate with ASP.NET.
ASP.NET does NOT offer ActionScripts "escape"-function, and ActionScript
does NOT offer ASP.NETs "urlEncode"-function. Keep this in mind
whereever your swf has too deal with ASP.NET! - Or else tell me the
truth, please!


Furthermore I am looking for a MD5-implementation for ActionScript, that
will work properly on special characters. You can give it a try
yourself, when entering a "ß" oder "ä" into any of those HTML-/web-based
MD5-generators. Depending on which one you use, you will get two
different result hashes. Needless to say that the usual
MD5-implementation used with actionscript (there oonly seems to be one
version out there) results in a different md5-hash than that used with
ASP.NET.
Again, please tell me, when you know I'm wrong here.


Best regards,
Roman Blöth.

Re: [Flashcoders] Strong typing vs attachMovie

[Ian Thomas]

Hi Andreas,

var UIClock:Clock = Clock(content.attachMovie("clock","uiclock1",1));

using className(supertype) i.e. Clock(supertype)

It's called typecasting - or just casting. It looks like a constructor
function but isn't.

Basically you're telling the compiler "It's okay I know what I'm doing
- it really is a Clock!"

(This assumes you've associated Clock with the "clock" symbol via the
Linkage dialog.)

HTH,
 Ian

Hi Darren, 
  What are you creating a Hashtable _for_..? 

For many applications you can just use a native AS object - e.g.: 

var myTable:Object=new Object(); 
myTable["someIDOrOther"]="someValue"; 
trace(myTable["someIDOrOther"]); // gives "someValue" 

For example, in your case: 
var myTable:Object=new Object(); 
var myObject:Object={id:"SomeID",href:"http://somesite.com
 "}; 

myTable[myObject.id]=myObject; 

trace(myTable["SomeID"].href); // gives "http://somesite.com
 "

that's all a Delegate is doing is an apply. It's not magic, not really.

Re: [Flashcoders] aslib HashTable key

[Ian Thomas]

Hi Darren,
 What are you creating a Hashtable _for_..?

For many applications you can just use a native AS object - e.g.:

var myTable:Object=new Object();
myTable["someIDOrOther"]="someValue";
trace(myTable["someIDOrOther"]); // gives "someValue"

For example, in your case:
var myTable:Object=new Object();
var myObject:Object={id:"SomeID",href:"http://somesite.com"};

myTable[myObject.id]=myObject;

trace(myTable["SomeID"].href); // gives "http://somesite.com";

HTH,
 Ian

I am trying to get my head around HashTables and how to create the unique

basically, I have an object that has two properties "id" (String) and "href"

(String) and i want to create a HashTable keyed on "id". However the
HashTable object can only be a Number type.

What is the best way to create a unique key for a hashtable (a number) based

on a string that could effectively be any length?

What does Number(num:Object) actually do with the object passed to it?

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 - Decoding a SOAP Response - Array of complex objects

[Merrill, Jason]

What are you using on your backend?  .NET?  ColdFusion?  If .NET, yes,
you can easily send objects back and forth. It serializes as SOAP
formatted XML inbetween, but you'll never notice. You can read an object
with arrays, set properties, and send it back.  I can't send you our
SOAP message because it might be considered propriety bank information
(even though it's not really), but there are some tutorials on the web>

http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/webServiceConnector/

Here is the WSDL is uses:

http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/BabelFishService.wsdl

Here is some code I use to test loading in an object from a wsdl SOAP
object from .NET

import mx.services.*;

function startmyws():Void{
ws = new WebService("http://blahblahurl/theService.asmx?WSDL";);
ws.onLoad = trace("The webservice loaded fine.");
methodResultObj = ws.GetProject(0);
methodResultObj.onResult = showResult;
methodResultObj.onFault = function(fault) {
  trace("!! Flash Web Services Component Error.  \n Fault Code:
"+fault.faultcode + ", Fault: " + fault.faultstring);
}
}

function showResult(projObj:Object){
//test object value:
theVar = projObj.Content.Topics[0].TextAreas[0].Content
trace(theVar)
}

startmyws();

Don't bother with parsing through XML if you are using .NET.  And wash
those socks. :)

[Flashcoders] Flash 8 - Decoding a SOAP Response - Array of complex objects

[Tom Shaw]

Hi all,  This is my first post on the list so Ill say hi now and hope
you are all friendly :)

Ive been going round for days on this one and have searched high and
low for an answer.  I even looked under the bed but all I found was
smelly socks, so before I actually go mad could anyone shed some light
on this rather annoying problem with Flash 8 Pro.

I have a SOAP server set up under mod_perl which delivers an array of
objects.

To avoid reinventing the wheel I wanted Flash to decode the SOAP
response from the server.  the result Im actually getting is an array
of XML Objects.

I could parse these XML objects but then I might as well and decode
the entire response manually anyway.  the overhead for getting flash
to decode the object has already been incurred so Id really like to
figure this out.

Now while this might seem trivial I do want to return some rather more
complex objects so this has effetively stopped my development for now.

I dont want to go down the path with flash Remoting at the minute but
for those who might suggest it I have considered it and may implement
it in the future.

If anyone is getting Flash to fully decode Arrays of Objects or any
other remotely complex data structure could they please post their
SOAP response and reply for me to study so I can try and find out what
exactly is wrong.

I have a few more questions to ask but for clarity Ill leave these for
another day.

Im not sure if posting my SOAP reply would help at this point...I will
create a simple example and post it shortly.

Id really appreciate some help here so Ill cross my fingers and hope
for the best.

Cheers,
Tom

Yes: don't use the inbuilt drag method, do it with code (following is email
script and may contain errors!):

function myStartDrag() {
startX = _parent._xmouse
startY = _parent._ymouse
myX = this._x
myY = this._y
drag = true
}
function myStopDrag() {
drag = false
}
function onEnterFrame() {
if (drag) {
this._x = _parent._xmouse - startX + myX
this._y = _parent._ymouse - startY + myY
}
}

By the way - on thinking further, I'd not even bother with piece objects
(they're just simple movieclips) but only use groups. A group knows all its
neighbours and if any of them are in a group that's in the same relative
position to its starting point, it joins them together. Then its new list of
neighbours is all the neighbours of the two groups except those that are in
the group.

eg:

group 1 has pieces C and D and neighbours A,B,E,F
group 2 has pieces E and G and neighbours B,H,C,I

piece C in group 1 is a neighbour of group 2 so the two can join together.
When joined, they have pieces C,D,E,G and neighbours A, B, F, H, I

Don't know if that is very clear!

Re: [Flashcoders] jigsaw puzzle piece algorithm

[Guntur N. Sarwohadi]

Hello Danny,

So for every piece generated, i'll create as much piece and group objects in
each piece and group array beyond the piece MC object scope, right? But how
does moving all pieces simultaneously be done in pseudocode? How would you
tell an object to start drag?.. I mean, since only MCs have the startDrag
method, then it will need to delegate to group object, or do you have a
better way doing this?

Much thanks,
Guntur N. Sarwohadi

Hi, Guntur, I've been on holiday, but in case it's helpful, a little
clarification:

>From my original post:

>Without going into your post in detail, I think this is the source of your
problem. For each group, you're better off making a single object which
contains all the elements in it, then making A.group a reference to that
object. Start with N such groups, one for each piece. Then, when you connect
two pieces, you merge their groups into a single object. Now, each time the
user drags a piece, update the whole group (including the piece clicked on)
with a single command.

The point of this is to keep the groups and the pieces as separate things.
Here's a pseudocode explanation:

start with an array of n Piece objects and an array of n Group objects.
- Each piece knows its neighbours and belongs to exactly one group, to which
it has a reference.
- Each group knows which pieces it contains.
- Initially, each group contains one piece
when a piece is clicked, tell its group to start dragging (and bring all its
pieces to the top)
when dragging a group, move all its pieces simultaneously (so the 'drag'
method is part of the Group object, not the Piece object)
when a group is released, check if any of its pieces can be linked to one of
its neighbours that is not in the group. If so:
- set group1 to the group of the first piece
- set group2 to the group of the second piece
- add all the elements of group2 to group1
- set the group of each element of group2 to group1
- delete group2
- if at this stage there is only one group left, the puzzle is complete

NB: with a little ingenuity, checking if two groups can be linked should be
possible to do in a single test, rather than looping through all pieces in
them. I'd do it by noting the offset of each group from its correct
position, then checking how similar these values are in the two groups.

Is that clearer?
Danny

Re: [Flashcoders] private property doesn't get called?

[Meinte van't Kruis]

Just had a quick look here. This is the only place you set your flag:

(within closeButton)

trace("flag: " + this.flag);  // undefined
this.flag = true;

So the fact that you trace it BEFORE setting it kind of explains why
it traces undefined.

Something that would also be good form is initializing the flag in your
class
constructor (this.flag=false , or true whichever you'd like it to be). This
way
you know it's always initialized.

good luck,

call an outside function which after done triggers closeCanvas() in

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating an image in one game to be reused in another game

[Meinte van't Kruis]

That is a nice workaround, allthough sending a bitmap over an ascii
line generates alot of overhead. If you are able to use flash 9 you could
use it's ability to send raw bytes back to the server, you would still
have to write a serverside solution(i think), but it would be nice.

[Flashcoders] aslib HashTable key

[Darren Bowers]

I am trying to get my head around HashTables and how to create the unique
key reference.
 
basically, I have an object that has two properties "id" (String) and "href"
(String) and i want to create a HashTable keyed on "id". However the
HashTable object can only be a Number type.
 
What is the best way to create a unique key for a hashtable (a number) based
on a string that could effectively be any length?
 
What does Number(num:Object) actually do with the object passed to it?
 
cheers,

I guess the functionality required is to export the picture from game 1 as a

My site uses PHP so suggestions using this technology are fine.

Re: [Flashcoders] delegate and proxy

[julien castelain]

hi ilteris,

maybe this could do it :

import ascb.util.Proxy;

function finishAnimation(_mc:MovieClip) {
 var scope = this;
var tween4 = new Tween(image, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut,
   100, 0, 3, true);
 tween4.onMotionFinished = ascb.util.Proxy.create(scope, endOfMotion, _mc);
}

function endOfMotion(_mc:MovieClip) {
trace(_mc);
}

not sure though ...
cheers

[Flashcoders] Creating an image in one game to be reused in another game

[Paul Steven]

Hi there

I am creating several online games using Flash 8.

One game is a painting game where the user creates a picture. The other game
is a t-shirt creator application where the user either uses pre-created
images or imports an image.

I would like the user to be able to import pictures created in game 1 into
game 2 at a later date.

The site requires the user to login so ideally when playing the second game,
the user would have the ability to choose / import their picture by
selecting from thumbnails of previously created images or alternatively
choosing an image from their hard drive or from the internet.

I guess the functionality required is to export the picture from game 1 as a
jpg or similar and save this image or image data onto the server.

My site uses PHP so suggestions using this technology are fine.

Many thanks

[Flashcoders] private property doesn't get called?

[ilteris kaplan]

Hello I am having a really strange problem here.

I have a boolean property in my class and I am trying to set its  
value to true as it should be, but it looks like it didn't get even  
instantiated in the class. Briefly in my class first sendVar method  
gets call from outside and pass two Number value to two properties  
(_current, _previous).
According to those values I do instantiate openCanvas() method from  
outside which calls a delegated function canvasOpenFinished(). So it  
triggers openSection() and with the help of closeButton function  
(which is also delegated from onPress() inside of canvasOpenFinished 
()) I trigger closeSection() method and then things get funky here. I  
call an outside function which after done triggers closeCanvas() in  
this class. And closeCanvas() triggers canvasClosedFinished() method  
and this is where I check if my  property(this.flag) is true or  
false. Only the trace tells me it is undefined!
