Re: [Flashcoders] Newbie help with dynamic variable assignment
I couldn't follow your logic exactly, but I figure I could show you
some basic looping tricks.
Hope this helps... :
var linkArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < countyNodes.length; i++) {
linkArray[i] = new Array(); // nested array
linkArray[i].thisCounty = countyNodes
[i].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
linkArray[i].thisLink = countyNodes[i].lastChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
...
// i = active movieClip
var myMC:MovieClip = this["countyMC"+i];
myColor = new Color(myMC);
myColor.setRBG(out_color);
if (linkArray[i].thisLink == undefined || Douglas_URL == "") {
myMC._visible = false;
}

I haven't been able to figure out a way to set that dynamically as I
run through the loop. Is it even possible to do that much dynamic
evaluation?

[Flashcoders] re: pattern fever
Thanks Reuben. Yes, I think I'll do what you suggest: just parameterize a full-dress Navigation with a custom object, then have the controller retrieve it. It will be make it the Navigation difficult to extend and write, but I see no alternative for now...except maybe using a dynamic class, and building up an object with snapped-on methods? As for patterns--in this case, I'm definitely grasping for a solution. But in my short experience, patterns have been hugely useful, as well as just neat. I think I would eventually have approximated some patterns (state, observer)..but composite, decorator, factory? Never. I'm still excited. >> Why not use a initialization NavigationSettings class for your Navigation that has its own methods that can be interrogated by your controller? ie - new Navigation(new NavigationSettings(params)); The "controller bar" could access the NavigationSettings instance to find out its necessary settings. IMHO, patterns are only useful where they actually solve problems, not create additional ones. "Pattern Fever" does no good for anyone.If you can't find a pattern that fits your requirements, maybe patterns are the wrong way to go about it. You shouldn't need to twist your requirements to try and fit into a particular pattern.

Ah, thanks, that's exactly what I needed.
Current frame only is fine, as it's only going to do some initialisation
at frame 1 anyway.

[Flashcoders] Iterate over all movieclips in a timeline
Hello. I feel a bit boneheaded asking this... is there any way of iterating over all movie clips in a timeline? At the moment, I just have a hard coded array that contains references to the clips I need. This isn't a big problem, but that just means one more thing to edit each time I add or remove clips. (and I'd have to name them as well).

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash transparent on top of Windows Media Player
It's easy to get the impression that the video is playing inside the the browser window but it isn't. The ActiveX control in the browser talks to Windows and tells it where to draw the video, which actually plays above the browser window. When you move the browser window around, it's telling the video to move with it. Sometimes, the video will move with it, sometimes you will see a "masking effect" where the video stays in place while the player moves. Both behaviors are good demonstrations that the video and the player are separate components in Windows. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it, AFAIK. ___ 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] pattern fever: composing dynamic object and knowing them remotely
Why not use a initialization NavigationSettings class for your
Navigation that has its own methods that can be interrogated by your
controller? ie - new Navigation(new NavigationSettings(params));
The "controller bar" could access the NavigationSettings instance to
find out its necessary settings.
IMHO, patterns are only useful where they actually solve problems,
not create additional ones. "Pattern Fever" does no good for
anyone.If you can't find a pattern that fits your requirements, maybe
patterns are the wrong way to go about it. You shouldn't need to
twist your requirements to try and fit into a particular pattern.
Hope this helps.
On 10/10/2006, at 4:31 AM, Matt Garland wrote:
I have a design problem:
A site I'm working up has a shell/module structure. Each module
composes an instance of a Navigation class.
This instance mixes and matches various navigation functionality.
Some modules might have last/next methods, some might have last/
next and direct goto (buttons) methods, some might have just goto
(buttons), or buttons and browser-like, history-based forwards/
backwards methods. Some will have pause/play. Some might have no
navigation at all. All would have an index property and an abstract
"goTo" method, which would be handled/implemented by the module
itself.
When the module is focused, a controller bar in the shell redraws
itself according to the module's navigation.
Here's two questions:
1) How do I make this navigation object? It mixes and matches a set
of methods almost randomly. It this even a candidate for a class?
Having just read Head First Design Patterns, my first thought was
that decorator could help. But how do you access added methods if
the basic object is wrapped more than once:
NextLast(History(new Navigation())).goBackward() wouldn't work
because goBackward is not a method of the outermost wrapper, NextLast.
Should I then make the decorator specify ALL possible methods? That
seems perverse.
Instead, it would be easier to supply a full-fledged navigation
object and selectively enable parts of it. But then the class would
turn into a mess of conditionals:
function next() {
currentIndex++
if (this navigation instance has a history) {
history.push(currentIndex);
}
This is stumping me. Having pattern fever (I recommend the book),
the only alternative I can think of is: turn each piece of
navigation functionality into a class (history, nextLast, etc),
then compose a navigation object as an array of objects, which
would each in term handle a message from the controller in the
shell (chain of responsibility?).
2) Once I manage to compose a navigation object, how can the
shell's controller bar interrogate it? That is, how to know which
methods are defined or enabled for it? Is there a more direct way
than looping through the object and looking at its properties and
methods (and since I'm doing this in AS3, I'm not sure I can even
do this). I suppose I could store a bunch os strings for
verification, but as with the last problem, I can't believe that
smarter programmers haven't solved this problem in an better way.
I should say that the site is mine and the only constraint is the
spec I'm giving myself, which is: give every module a navigation
module, so that the module's navigation will be easy to create (new
History(new Navigation)), without having to create a bunch of new
classes (HistoryNextLast extends History). In addition, I want the
the navigation object to refer back to other navigations objects so
that they form a XML-like nodal structure. This would be convenient
for retrieving navigation information, but even more for creating
an easy add-on structure. Basically, I want any combination of nav
functions to be able to lead to any other kind of combination,
module after module. How to achieve this I don't know yet.

Douglas_color = new Color(_root.Douglas.btn_color);
Douglas_color.setRGB(out_color);
if (Douglas_URL == "undefined" || Douglas_URL == undefined) {
Douglas._visible = false;
}
I haven't been able to figure out a way to set that dynamically as I
run through the loop. Is it even possible to do that much dynamic
evaluation?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] dynamic string color switching
If you want to use TextFormat, you can apply a textformat to a text selection. A quick way to do this without creating a bunch of new textformat objects is to copy the current format into a temp var using tf.getTextFormat(), change the color, and the apply it to the selection with my_textField.setTextFormat(beginIndex:Number, endIndex:Number, textFormat:TextFormat) or of course you can maintain a few TextFormat objects if you have a set of styles you wish to work with. Alternatively you could use a CSS stylesheet, but this may be a rare circumstance where textFormat is better.

[Flashcoders] pattern fever: composing dynamic object and knowing them remotely
I have a design problem:
A site I'm working up has a shell/module structure. Each module
composes an instance of a Navigation class.
This instance mixes and matches various navigation functionality.
Some modules might have last/next methods, some might have last/next
and direct goto (buttons) methods, some might have just goto
(buttons), or buttons and browser-like, history-based forwards/
backwards methods. Some will have pause/play. Some might have no
navigation at all. All would have an index property and an abstract
"goTo" method, which would be handled/implemented by the module itself.
When the module is focused, a controller bar in the shell redraws
itself according to the module's navigation.
Here's two questions:
1) How do I make this navigation object? It mixes and matches a set
of methods almost randomly. It this even a candidate for a class?
Having just read Head First Design Patterns, my first thought was
that decorator could help. But how do you access added methods if the
basic object is wrapped more than once:
NextLast(History(new Navigation())).goBackward() wouldn't work
because goBackward is not a method of the outermost wrapper, NextLast.
Should I then make the decorator specify ALL possible methods? That
seems perverse.
Instead, it would be easier to supply a full-fledged navigation
object and selectively enable parts of it. But then the class would
turn into a mess of conditionals:
function next() {
currentIndex++
if (this navigation instance has a history) {
history.push(currentIndex);
}
This is stumping me. Having pattern fever (I recommend the book), the
only alternative I can think of is: turn each piece of navigation
functionality into a class (history, nextLast, etc), then compose a
navigation object as an array of objects, which would each in term
handle a message from the controller in the shell (chain of
responsibility?).
2) Once I manage to compose a navigation object, how can the shell's
controller bar interrogate it? That is, how to know which methods are
defined or enabled for it? Is there a more direct way than looping
through the object and looking at its properties and methods (and
since I'm doing this in AS3, I'm not sure I can even do this). I
suppose I could store a bunch os strings for verification, but as
with the last problem, I can't believe that smarter programmers
haven't solved this problem in an better way.
I should say that the site is mine and the only constraint is the
spec I'm giving myself, which is: give every module a navigation
module, so that the module's navigation will be easy to create (new
History(new Navigation)), without having to create a bunch of new
classes (HistoryNextLast extends History). In addition, I want the
the navigation object to refer back to other navigations objects so
that they form a XML-like nodal structure. This would be convenient
for retrieving navigation information, but even more for creating an
easy add-on structure. Basically, I want any combination of nav
functions to be able to lead to any other kind of combination, module
after module. How to achieve this I don't know yet.

RE: [Flashcoders] Error check for parseXML()
Good point.
One optional tweak:
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.parseXML(someTextVar);
xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {
if (this.status == 0) {
trace("Success!");
} else {
trace("Error in XML! Code: " + this.status);
}
}
The scope should probably be "this" instead of "xml" in this case.

[Flashcoders] Accessibility: TextField Reading Twice
Desperate for help, have been fighting this issue for a week: I've been playing with a set of components for non-technical users: Basic idea is to provide some simple "full page" components that are accessible without any real effort on the user building the fla. So, they're finished and have been reviewed by a accessibility place out of VA. Everything seems to be working perfectly, spare one silly item: When JAWS is reading the page content, The TextField in one and only one component reads twice, every time. However, if you tab from item to item in the flash movie, none of the items read the text twice. I've viewed the movie in the debugger and confirmed that the text is only set for that TextField and doesn't appear anywhere else. I've traced out text for every MC on the page, and I've set the TextField __accProps to be silent and added the text to the _accProps.name of the containing MovieClip. Still reads twice. If I strip out the accessibility code for all items in the component, that bit of text is read. Anyone know of a way to figure out what's happening? The accessibility code is very simple: _textOne._accProps = new Object(); _textOne._accProps.name = removeHTML(__text1); _textOne._accProps.forcesimple = true; _textOne.tabIndex = _loc2.text1; _textOne is a MovieClip with a TextField inside of it at 0,0. Really the only thing it adds is a setSize() method that resizes the TextField if the layout changes, and a get/set "Text" property. The rest is as simple as it sounds.

When a movieclip has a buttonevent placed on it anything inside it will
not be able to get any buttonevents. What you need to do is use a mouseMove
event and a hitTest to simulate a rollover/rollout event either for the nav
or the subitems.
E.g:
Nav.onMouseMove = function()

I prefer the ebook over the paper as it's cheaper for me and ships instantly :) I've bought FAA as ebook.. it's amazing indeed... too bad I didn't have time to finish reading it yet... Marcelo.
