[Flashcoders] push info from server to flash?
Is there any way to push information from a server side script (PHP) to a flash client, rather than having the Flash ask for it by calling a PHP page? I want to create a virtual world whose state will be maintained in a MySQL database. Multiple users will be able to connect, view, and interact with the world. I need a way for the view (flash client) seen by one user to know when something another user has done has changed the world. I could poll the server regularly with a setInterval, but that seems wasteful of bandwidth. Most of the action in the world will be computed by the clients on their own; they just need to be informed when relatively rare events happen caused by other users. (The creatures who live in the world will keep moving around on their own according to a prescribed behavior, and will just need to be informed when someone does something to them.) Ideally, the creatures would do the same thing in all the users' views, but this would require constant back-and-forth communication with the server. I am debating whether to fake it by having them work independently (so that viewers won't really see the same world) except when they interact.

On a neighboring machine (which never had the trial installed), I did a fresh install and the troublesome file builds into a lovely exe w/o a hitch. So, my question is this.

Re: [Flashcoders] push info from server to flash?
I believe that there is a game coders forum where these kinds of problems are very frequently discussed. I have a client that has built a multiplayer gambling game that works like this. I can only say that it is possible and that it involves the Flash client having an outstanding request to the server at all times. They originally bought an off-the-shelf game engine for their server side but have now replaced it with their own server engine.

Re: [Flashcoders] Exporting from flash to vector format
Another approach would be to create an XML file that contains the data that you want formatted, send it to a server, process it into a PDF using FOP from Apache.org. This is a very flexible solution since you separate the data from the formatting and the output can be PDF, HTML, PCL(HP Printer language) and several others. The destination can be a file on the server, a printer or an e-mail address/distribution list. XML-FO is a well documented standard for describing formatted reports and Apache's FOP is free and a fairly complete implementation of the XML-FO standard.

I've seen some impressive full-color catalogs for big companies created that way. But in these cases, each page is programmatically typeset.

RE: [Flashcoders] Q:Elementary Trig part 2
Been awhile since I've explained this to anyone.. lets see how this goes! SOHCAHTOA (so-ca-toa) Sin(a) = opposite/hypotenuse Cos(a) = adjacent/hypotenuse Tan(a) = opposite/adjacent a = angle in RADIANS *not* degrees.. you'll have to convert degrees to radians with knowing: ..there are PI (3.14159..) radians in 180 degrees (a fundamental), thus: a = A*(PI/180), thus: a = 45*(3.14159/180) = .785 (roughly) Given r and angle=A degrees converted to a radians, r is the same as the length of a basic triangles' hypotenuse in this -- we're looking for x,y .. moving on: A=45 degrees but converted to a=.785 radians (approx).. we know that: r=10, and should know that: r=sqrt(x^2+y^2) (per Pythagoras theorem) so we're going to reverse format the SOH and CAH parts since we know the length of the hypotenuse and need to find out x and y (the opposite and adjacent sides' lengths) one at a time based on angle, a in radians: sin(a)=y/r, and, cos(a)=x/r, which translates to: y=sin(a)/r, and x=cos(a)/r, however: y=sin(a)/10, and x=cos(a)/10, thus: y=sin(.785)/10, and x=cos(.785)/10, thus: y=0.707/10 = 7.07 (roughly) x=0.707/10 = 7.07 (roughly) I think that should set you on you on track!

Re: [Flashcoders] EmbedFonts = true
You can't. The best way to use an embedded font with only certain outlines included in the embedding is to create a dummy (i.e. 'invisible') dynamic textfield, and in the property inspector select the outlines you want embedded. That way you don't have to create a linked font symbol, you just refer to the font by name, because it's already been embedded in that hidden textfield. The tricky part is that you'll need to have a separate textfield for normal, bold and italics, just like you would if you were creating font symbols, to make sure normal, bold and italics will all show up properly in your formatted textfield.

[Flashcoders] Is there a Flowchart Opensource Project based on Flash?

Re: [Flashcoders] Exporting from flash to vector format
I always forget that I posted my original EPS drawing experiments to my lab site (i always forget that i have a lab site). You can check http://lab.artificialcolors.com/index.php?id=2,0,0,1,0,0 for the Flash2EPS experiment. There's a sample SWF and a ZIP file with source. It's a little scattered but there are some comments in there that should get you going if you want to go this route. It does work and has been used in that awesome create a snowflake app from years back, so it might work for you too. :-) enjoy g.

I don't remember the exact details, but it involved printing the SWF as it was running to a Postscript printer driver, but having the output save to a PS file rather than actually printing. I'm sure the exact process is described on the web someplace. -josh On Oct 19, 2006, at 1:51p, Eric Lee wrote: Sorry, should've been a bit more specific -- I have a swf that is dynamically generating vector data (placing movie clips, drawing lines, etc. according to predefined algorithms).

Thanks for your message! I have ever visited to there many times, but can't find out any I want. It is better if you offer me more details to check. Thanks for John.

RE: [Flashcoders] Q:Elementary Trig part 2
Check your algebra, Since sin(a) = y/r, then y = r sin(a), etc. P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:flashcoders- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jayson K Hanes Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2006 7:42 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Q:Elementary Trig part 2 Been awhile since I've explained this to anyone.. lets see how this goes! SOHCAHTOA (so-ca-toa) Sin(a) = opposite/hypotenuse Cos(a) = adjacent/hypotenuse Tan(a) = opposite/adjacent a = angle in RADIANS *not* degrees.. you'll have to convert degrees to radians with knowing: ..there are PI (3.14159..) radians in 180 degrees (a fundamental), thus: a = A*(PI/180), thus: a = 45*(3.14159/180) = .785 (roughly) Given r and angle=A degrees converted to a radians, r is the same as the length of a basic triangles' hypotenuse in this -- we're looking for x,y .. moving on: A=45 degrees but converted to a=.785 radians (approx).. we know that: r=10, and should know that: r=sqrt(x^2+y^2) (per Pythagoras theorem) so we're going to reverse format the SOH and CAH parts since we know the length of the hypotenuse and need to find out x and y (the opposite and adjacent sides' lengths) one at a time based on angle, a in radians: sin(a)=y/r, and, cos(a)=x/r, which translates to: y=sin(a)/r, and x=cos(a)/r, however: y=sin(a)/10, and x=cos(a)/10, thus: y=sin(.785)/10, and x=cos(.785)/10, thus: y=0.707/10 = 7.07 (roughly) x=0.707/10 = 7.07 (roughly) I think that should set you on you on track!

[Flashcoders] Flash developer needed: Sydney, Australia.
Hi all, We have heaps of Flash work on these days, any can't seem to find anyone to do it. Are there any people on the list, preferably Sydney based, who are interested in short and/or long term contracts developing Flash apps? These range from simple games to complex RIAs.
