[Flashcoders] Flash Print Function and Callbacks ?

[Stephen Ford]

Does anyone know if Flash's built in Print command has anyway of providing a 
callback once a print job has been executed ??
 
I need to set a clips visibility to false while the printing takes place, then 
set it back to visible once the print executes ??
 
Is this possible ??
 
Thanks,
Stephen.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Reomoting Service not connecting

[Ray Chuan]

Hi,
- how are you opening the SWF? Is your swf loading any swfs/files?
This won't work (without work):

http://domain.com/
flash.HTML

http://domain.com/assets/
flash.SWF

This is a new one for me...

I have a Flash application that uses Flash Remoting to pass along test 
information.
I should first mention that I am using the same Service on a live server in both
testing on local machine and when I deploy to the web.

The thing is that when I test all of this from my local machine it all wowrks 
well.
The test information is passed along the Service, all the data appears in the
database, and I get feedback inside of Flash. It is only when I upload Flash to 
the
server that I have no connection at all to the service. The Flash and the 
Service
both sit on the same domain when uploaded.

Here is what i have tried:
  - Made sure that the link to the Service is correct
  - Installed a crossdomain.xml at the root of the domain with very generous
settings
  - Tried dumping result and fault into onscreen text field but since there is 
some
communication/security issue nothing comes back

What I am seeing is that the Flash essentially just runs and runs with no 
connection
or indication that it is getting a fault back. It just keeps trying and nothing 
is
coming back.

What has me stumped is why this would happen.

Does anyone have any experience with this scenario using Services?

Thanks,

RE: [Flashcoders] Scaling problem while loadingexternaljpeg'sin theMovie Clip

[Steven Sacks | BLITZ]

I did not write out the entire solution because I was focusing on the
specific functionality.

When you use a holder clip, you're going to be creating it and removing
it on the fly.

this.holder.removeMovieClip();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 10);
this.holder.loadMovie("some.jpg");

Easy peasy.

RE: [Flashcoders] Scaling problem while loading externaljpeg'sin theMovie Clip

[Marc Hoffman]

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought I did a valid test to see what 
_width was returned right after a holder clip, which already had an 
image loaded, was instructed to load another image. The width that 
was returned was for the prior image, even though the loadMovie 
command for a new image had already been issued:


holder.loadMovie("image01.jpg");
// then after a few seconds, call this:
holder.loadMovie("image02.jpg");
trace (holder._width) // returns the width of image01.jpg, NOT zero 
or the width of image02.jpg


Thus I don't believe that this code, which you proposed, will detect 
if the new image has loaded:


this.holder.loadMovie("some.jpg");
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.holder._width > 4) {
resizeHolder();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};

That's why I think onLoadInit is required. How else would you know 
when to rescale the new image?


By the way, I do like your code to determine the scale factor and do 
the scaling. Nice and efficient.

RE: [Flashcoders] Scaling problem while loading externaljpeg's in theMovie Clip

[Marc Hoffman]

You also need to use MovieClipLoader and onLoadInit before measuring 
the size of the clip. Just testing it for _width>4 (per your earlier 
example) will return an immediate positive if there was an image 
already loaded prior to calling loadMovie.

-Marc

It addresses half the problem.   I missed the other requirement.

It's pretty easy to accomplish that, though.

You find the largest dimension delta and determine its percentage delta
and then adjust based on that.

var perc:Number;
if (actualW - targetW > actualH - targetH) {
perc = targetW / actualW;
} else {
perc = targetH / actualH;
}
clip._xscale = clip._yscale = perc * 100;

RE: [Flashcoders] playing audio filetypes other than mp3?

[Mike Keesey]

You can use ByteArray in Flash 9 to load any kind of binary data. While
you could use this to create image-rendering plugins using BitmapData
(or even video-rendering, although I question performance), there's no
corresponding "SoundData" class, is there? So I think, at least as far
as sound goes, you're kind of stuck with MP3.

Yeah, the simplest way is to create an index field on the buttons

Re: [Flashcoders] Maths: scale one mc, whilst keeping an mc within it the same size

[Jon Bennett]

yeah my example was downscaling, while you are upscaling:).
var intMapScale:Number = mcMap._width / 744; // width = 2710 // 364% (3,64)
so btnScale is 100/intMapScale.

Imagine mcMap._width had been 1000 and original was 500, you'd have 1000/500
= 200%
so btnScale 100/200% is 50.

Note about the percentages, they make for easy errors. Multiplying/dividing
by one hundred too many, tends to give awesome, though wrong, results:).


thanks Hans, have totally sussed it now!

I've tried:

that can;t be right though, as it gives me a tiny number, any pointers

createItem(symbolName:String,
tweenSettings:TweenSettings):RadialItem
tweenIn():Void
tweenOut():Void

class RadialItem extends MovieClip

Re: [Flashcoders] Maths: scale one mc, whilst keeping an mc within it the same size

[Jon Bennett]

So in general to keep a child scaled at 100% independents of its parents,
you need to divide 100% by the result of multiplying all its parent's scale
factors.

Eg, to keep e at 100%, you'd scale e to : 1/ (
a.scale*b.scale*c.scale*d.scale/100^4)


so My original MC is 744 px wide, and I scale it so it's width is
2710, which is a scale of 364%, which means I need to scale my links
to, umm...

also long day, brain's super fuzzy, sorry for being a dullard!

Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Maths: scale one mc, whilst keeping an mc within it the same size

[Hans Wichman]

Hi Jon,
imagine you have a lot of nested clips, structure a-b-c-d-e for example (a
is parent of b, b is parent of c etc).
Imagine a is scaled 50% and the rest hundred. Then you can be sure, b/c/d/e
will be 50% as well.
If b is scaled 50% as well, c/d/e will be at 25% (a's 50 times b's 50).
Damn we could do this all night long... anywayz to make a long story even
longer, if you wanted c/d/e etc still to show up at a hundred percent, you
need to turn 25% into a 100%, in other words, you need to scale them up 4
times (400%).
This is ofcourse 100/25.

So in general to keep a child scaled at 100% independents of its parents,
you need to divide 100% by the result of multiplying all its parent's scale
factors.

Eg, to keep e at 100%, you'd scale e to : 1/ (
a.scale*b.scale*c.scale*d.scale/100^4)

Sorry for the fuzzy explanation.. its been a long day :)

RE: [Flashcoders] Q:Coding : from Procedural to Class based code?

[Mark Lapasa]

The primary motivation for 'converting to class based code' should be to
establish a seperation of concerns. If your one routine does many things or
better said 'has many responsibilities', then you need to identify those
areas that do very distinct things and decouple them from the routine.

Over time as you break it up, not only will get closer to establishing
low-coupling, you will soon have each of your objects/classes be very
efficient in their respective responsibilities (this is called
'high-cohesion').

A well designed object oriented design will always be slower than tightly
coupled, low-cohesive procecdural design. However the trade off is an OO
design will promote change, code-reuse, easier to maintain because of
organization rather inhibit it.

One guideline to follow (and these are all guidelines) which would answer
your getter/setter question is to strive to have your objects designed in
such a manner that it is responsibile for changing it's own state. The
opposite of this would be to have other objects managing the state of the
object in some cases it is unavoidable. The reason why objects should be
responsibile for changing their own state is to prevent high coupling
between objects. The higher the coupling an object has, the more complexity
there is to it, the more spagahetti code it may become in the future.

Best of luck

Subject: [Flashcoders] Q:Coding : from Procedural to Class based code?


Hi
I have a project that I'd like to convert to class based code but would
appreciate some advice on the best approach.

Basically I have a routine which attaches a number of library items to the
stage and, on either a rollover or press event, tweens these items(images)
out in a radial fashion.
They optionally return to their initial (overlapping) state.


Pretty simple stuff.
All of the tweening properties (number nodes, circle radius, duration out,
duration in, ease type, etc)  are predefined and passed in as a single
object.


My question is:
What is the best way to convert this into a Class?


Should I simply have a 'create' method in my class that takes the place of
my original method?
When attaching large numbers of library items, isn't there a 'speed hit'?
Should the tweening objects(basically containers for tween properties) have
their own class as well?


What's should the getters/setters return/set?


Any feedback greatly appreciated!

RE: [Flashcoders] Scaling problem while loading externaljpeg's in theMovie Clip

[Steven Sacks | BLITZ]

It addresses half the problem.   I missed the other requirement.

It's pretty easy to accomplish that, though.

You find the largest dimension delta and determine its percentage delta
and then adjust based on that.

var perc:Number;
if (actualW - targetW > actualH - targetH) {
perc = targetW / actualW;
} else {
perc = targetH / actualH;
}
clip._xscale = clip._yscale = perc * 100;

RE: [Flashcoders] Scaling problem while loading external jpeg's in theMovie Clip

[Marc Hoffman]

doesn't address the problem -- resizing the image to a fixed ratio 
that may not be the ratio of the loaded image, so it becomes distorted.

RE: [Flashcoders] How can I get a string in a date object ?

[Steven Sacks | BLITZ]

The compiler only catches strict typing issues at compile-time, not
run-time.  It doesn't know what this.jaar is (because it's being loaded
in at run-time) so it doesn't catch that you're loading a string into
it.  Since AS2 isn't actually strict (just for the compiler's sake), you
can put strings into variables you type cast as Number.  You need to
type cast the strings as numbers when they load in.

var jarr:Number = Number(this.jaar);

etc.

HTH,
Steven

RE: [Flashcoders] Q:Justifying Flash 8 Content

[Perdue, Blake]

The major reason we are moving to Flash 8 is the enhanced text rendering. The 
custom anti-aliasing makes text much easier to read -- a major problem with 
many fonts in Flash 6,7.

I'm working on a large commercial site that uses FP7 based content.

What are some of the arguments and/or approaches that Flash developers have and 
are using to push the transition to FP8 content?

The bottom line is really about providing the best user experience possible

[Flashcoders] Keys...

[eric dolecki]

I have a simulation where I am communicating to hardware - no problem.

I need to know press & holds from the hardware, so I thought using something
like:

"#A" might mean press & hold
"A" would be a release

However what is the best approach to capture 2 keys in an argument?

Should I use a different combination?

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Justifying Flash 8 Content

[Andy Herrman]

also the fact most people have it now is another.


I'd debate this.  It really depends on what your audience is.
Individual home users probably have newer versions, or can easily
upgrade them.  Corporate users are a different matter though.

We're using Flash for part of our product where I work and we've
collected stats on who's using what version of Flash, to try and
figure out if we can change versions we develop for.  About 1/3 of
them still have 7 installed, and that's a fairly significant number.
Most of our clients are other companies, many of which have fairly
strict IT departments which don't like to upgrade, so there's a good
chance that if we switched to 8 we could break things for a lot of
people.

I'd say that what you should really do is figure out what your
audience is and then try and figure out what version they're likely to
have, and how difficult it would be for them to upgrade if they don't
have the version you're trying to support.  That goes not just for
Flash but any other software you might depend on (Java, .Net, etc).

Re: [Flashcoders] Scaling problem while loading external jpeg's in the Movie Clip

[Marc Hoffman]

First, use MovieClipLoader to load the image. This will allow you to 
determine when it has initialized (onLoadInit). Then determine the 
ratio of the image width to the actual width you want it to be. Do 
the same for the height. Determine which ratio is larger, and use 
that to rescale both the height and width of the image.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash Reomoting Service not connecting

This is a new one for me...

I have a Flash application that uses Flash Remoting to pass along test
information.
I should first mention that I am using the same Service on a live server
in both testing on local machine and when I deploy to the web.

The thing is that when I test all of this from my local machine it all
wowrks well.
The test information is passed along the Service, all the data appears
in the database, and I get feedback inside of Flash. It is only when I
upload Flash to the server that I have no connection at all to the
service. The Flash and the Service both sit on the same domain when
uploaded.

Here is what i have tried:
  - Made sure that the link to the Service is correct
  - Installed a crossdomain.xml at the root of the domain with very
generous settings
  - Tried dumping result and fault into onscreen text field but since
there is some communication/security issue nothing comes back

What I am seeing is that the Flash essentially just runs and runs with
no connection or indication that it is getting a fault back. It just
keeps trying and nothing is coming back. 

What has me stumped is why this would happen. 

Does anyone have any experience with this scenario using Services?

Thanks,
liam m-

Re: [Flashcoders] Create zip file through flash

[Claus Wahlers]

He's talking about zipping up files on the local filesystem.  Flash 9 can do 
that?  Flash 9 has native filesystem access which would allow compressing files 
on your hard drive?


Flash Player 9 can zip up files pretty easily, but of course can't 
access the local filesystem. Sorry for the noise.


Cheers,

Flash alone can't do that, no.  Flash has no native filesystem access on
the web or locally - other than the FileReference class which is used
for uploading/downloading files.  You could call another .exe that does
it though locally.

database, and I get feedback inside of Flash. It is only when I upload Flash to 
the
server that I have no connection at all to the service. The Flash and the 
Service
both sit on the same domain when uploaded.

Here is what i have tried:
  - Made sure that the link to the Service is correct
  - Installed a crossdomain.xml at the root of the domain with very generous
settings
  - Tried dumping result and fault into onscreen text field but since there is 
some
communication/security issue nothing comes back

What I am seeing is that the Flash essentially just runs and runs with no 
connection
or indication that it is getting a fault back. It just keeps trying and nothing 
is
coming back. 

What has me stumped is why this would happen. 

Does anyone have any experience with this scenario using Services?

Thanks,
liam m-

[Flashcoders] slightly OT - browser position

[Eskil Janson]

Hi,

I need to track the browser postion when the user drags it around over 
the desktop.

I can't find a JavaScript variable for this. Have I missed something basic ?
If not, anyone who know how to do this?

The problem is not communication
Flash -JavaScript, i know the tricks.

Regards

/Eskil

Re: [Flashcoders] wmode=transparent and buttons behavior woes

[Janis Radins]

My problems appear only on FireFox IE does just fine.
I'll send you link of how my problems looks offlist.

2006/10/31, Lyndon Headley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Here's an interesting article I just came across concerning Flash 8 (if
that
is the version you are using) and wmode settings.

http://justin.everett-church.com/index.php/2006/02/23/wmode-woes/

Here's a relevant snippet concerning Events:

"*Inconsistent Performance*
SWFs using wmode actually perform slightly different from SWFs that have a
default wmode. The difference is that when you are running as transparent
or
opaque, events are delayed until an onEnterFrame. If you are running at a
slow frame rate and drive your movie with setInterval or use any number of
other events, you are back to your slow frame rate. If you would like to
see
an example of the difference in the way it runs, take a look
here(must use IE). The real
kicker is that SWFs in IE have this bug. SWFs in
Firefox are just fine.

While this does irk me just because one of the best things about Flash is
its cross-everything consistency, It has caused a problem for a specific
application I've worked on. At one point I needed to instantiate a lot of
SWFs in HTML. Each instance running at its own framerate starts to bog
down
the machine at some point just from the processing power it takes to idle
a
lot of transparent 12 FPS SWFs. My proposed work around was to make the
SWFs
run at 1FPS or less, and then drive the file with setInterval. This would
allow me animate the files at the appropriate frame rate when needed, but
otherwise idle at a super low framerate. This works fantastically with a
default wmode. With a transparent SWF, the Interval only fired once per
second right along with the onEnterFrame. "

Hope that helps,

Lyndon
