[Flashcoders] Re: Url query-string in Actionscript 3 (Flash 9 Public Alpha)
nevermind, solved it (or atleast came up with something that works):
I found this:
http://desdev.blogspot.com/2005/10/getting-querystring-params-to-flash_07.html
and is AS3 I used this:
try {
var keyStr:String;
var valueStr:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (keyStr in paramObj) {
valueStr = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
if (keyStr ==process){
trackName.text = valueStr;
myVar.text = keyStr;
}
if (keyStr ==mySong){
mySong.text = valueStr;
//myVar.text = keyStr;
}
if (keyStr ==myTable){
myTable.text = valueStr;
//myVar.text = keyStr;
}
}
} catch (error:Error) {
// tf.appendText(error);
}
Thanks.

Now, I suck at using classes (at the moment) and would just like to

it down but keep getting errors. Can someone point me in the right

[Flashcoders] Create working copy of dynamic flash site
I recently made a flash website based on AMFPHP, so all my content is dynamic. But now I have to put the same website on a CD, with all the content that you now see online. So I need a static copy of my dynamic website. Isn't there a way to take somekind of working screenshot? Like you can do with dynamic html websites? I hope someone can help me with a solution that I don't have to recode all the dynamic stuff.

[Flashcoders] Explain Classid and Codebase to me
Can someone explain what classid and codebase are used for in embedding ActiveX controls in a webpage? Why are they necessary and where do they come from? We have an activeX control (A flash player wrapper) which is acting up on certain severs but not others, and I'm trying to track down why. I'm wondering if classid and or codebase have something to do with it. They are the same on both servers, so I am wondering if classid and codebase tie back to something and that link is being effected somehow, or if might be something else altogether.

RE: [Flashcoders] OT conver java code to flash
It is Math.random() sorry. The Math.random() function returns a number
between 1 0. The Java function that you are using returns a random integer
or whole number, I don think there is an upper bound to it.
The rest of your function is getting the modulus of the random number which
in fact is setting the upper bound to 1.
So to get the same sort of function you will need to set what upper bound
you want, I will use 1 for now. I havnt tested this but it should give a
similar result.
var intUpperBound :Number = 1;
if(goodness == bestWorst)
{
numOfEqual++;
if(Math.abs(Math.random()*intUpperBound) (intUpperBound /
numOfEqual)) {
bestXPos = i;
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] OT conver java code to flash
Its not quite just a random choice. I think that the other variables affect
what is happening here. The numOfEqual is filtering the returned number to
make sure that the bestXPos is always larger than the last one (I think)
So if we take this and enter some actual values on say the third loop
through:
Step 1:
numOfEqual++;
if(Math.abs(Math.random()*intUpperBound) (intUpperBound / numOfEqual))
{
bestXPos = i;
}
Step 2:
3;
if(Math.abs(0.333*1) (1/ 3))
{
bestXPos = i;
}
Step 3:
3;
if(3330 .333)
{
bestXPos = i;
}
So you see in that case the Math.random() returned 0.333 so the resulting
number allowed you to pass the if statement but if it had been 0.334 or more
it would not have let you pass so bestXPos would not have been set.
The function you are using now is just giving you a 50/50 chance of passing
but the old java function was giving you variable odds depending on how many
passes had been performed.
Hope you understand as I am not great at explaining these things
Jim

RE: [Flashcoders] OT conver java code to flash
Thanks Jim, I had overlooked that fact and is probably why the game is not
behaving correctly.
Just to clarify, does it still need the % operator.
The java code is:
if (Math.abs(rand.nextInt()) % 1 (1 / numOfEqual))
bestXPos = i;
}
And what you suggested was:
var intUpperBound :Number = 1;
if(Math.abs(Math.random()*intUpperBound) (intUpperBound /numOfEqual)) {
bestXPos = i;
}
Should it be the following to be equivalent to the java functionality?
var intUpperBound :Number = 1;
if(Math.abs(Math.random()*intUpperBound) % 1 (intUpperBound
/numOfEqual)) {
bestXPos = i;
}
Thanks
Paul

Its not quite just a random choice. I think that the other variables affect
what is happening here. The numOfEqual is filtering the returned number to
make sure that the bestXPos is always larger than the last one (I think)
So if we take this and enter some actual values on say the third loop
through:
Step 1:
numOfEqual++;
if(Math.abs(Math.random()*intUpperBound) (intUpperBound / numOfEqual))
{
bestXPos = i;
}
Step 2:
3;
if(Math.abs(0.333*1) (1/ 3))
{
bestXPos = i;
}
Step 3:
3;
if(3330 .333)
{
bestXPos = i;
}
So you see in that case the Math.random() returned 0.333 so the resulting
number allowed you to pass the if statement but if it had been 0.334 or more
it would not have let you pass so bestXPos would not have been set.
The function you are using now is just giving you a 50/50 chance of passing
but the old java function was giving you variable odds depending on how many
passes had been performed.
Hope you understand as I am not great at explaining these things

Thanks Jim. I was curious as I have seen Math.rand() mentioned on various
flash forums and even on one of the macromedia / adobe live docs page. But I
guess these were just mistakes by people familiar with Java.
For my particular need, I have just simplified it to
if (Math.abs(Math.random()) (0.5)) {
bestXPos = i;
}
As I was not sure what exactly the Java code did but realised it simply
wanted to implement making a random choice.
Thanks

It is Math.random() sorry. The Math.random() function returns a number
between 1 0. The Java function that you are using returns a random integer
or whole number, I don think there is an upper bound to it.
The rest of your function is getting the modulus of the random number which
in fact is setting the upper bound to 1.
So to get the same sort of function you will need to set what upper bound
you want, I will use 1 for now. I havnt tested this but it should give a
similar result.
var intUpperBound :Number = 1;
if(goodness == bestWorst)
{
numOfEqual++;
if(Math.abs(Math.random()*intUpperBound) (intUpperBound /
numOfEqual)) {
bestXPos = i;
}
}

It is AS2, and the context is below. Btw what is the difference between
Math.rand() and Math.random()?
// ---
// If two moves are equally good, make a random choice

if (goodness == bestWorst) {
numOfEqual++;

Hi, are you sure negative leadings are allowed? I've tried and don't see any difference.

I'm trying to position a textField's bottom in line with other textfields; I've added leading to all the textField's so my math is now off. All the single-line textFields are positioned properly, but the mutli-line textfields are not. In the one I'm testing out with, the font size is 30, and the leading is -10.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Justifying Flash 8 Content
The two sites you mention are public sites; if they drive 10% of their potential audience away, but receive 20% more benefit (e.g. retaining the most loyal viewers, lowing bandwidth costs with newer codec, etc...) by doing so then it makes sense. For intra-net type or b2b type sites the equation is different. In these situations end users can't typically upgrade their software, and IT departments may be very conservative in their upgrade schedules; also you face a it needs to work for all our employees issue even when this isn't the case. I'm just saying that just because some sites require the most recent player, it may or may not make sense for you, depending on you audience/business-model.

RE: [Flashcoders] setNewTextFormat and textField.variable
Curious, why are you using the Textfield.variable property? I would recommend making the switch over to textfield.text or textField.htmlText so as to avoid any complications and do it the Actionscript way. Various reasons. Most obviously, I've got a fair number of fields referencing the same text, and these may be at various levels. Also, the whole thing is embedded in Director and it's handy to just allow Director to set the value of the variable rather than having to call a function (in particular, Director can throw an error when you try to call a function in Flash before the movie has fully initialised, which is notoriously difficult to detect reliably) But yes, it looks like I'll have to go down the .text route.

.
function hideButton( _btn:MovieClip ) {
if ( t ) {
t.stop();

RE: [Flashcoders] Copy Constructor
Seem to be having problems with this still.
It seems like every time I change a value in the main constructor objects
array, it also changes the array values in the copies.
Are these copies essentially just pointers to the same array?
Basically the reason I need copies is so it can simulate future moves in the
game by updating a copy of the game state arrays.
So essentially I need to create copies of these arrays that I can manipulate
without these manipulations affecting the arrays they were copied from.
I hope that makes sense

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Copy Constructor
Perhaps it is easier if I explain what I need:
I am rewriting some Java code into AS2.
Basically I have a class called Connect4State
class Connect4State {
public function Connect4State() {
// -
// Initialize the board array
// --
board = new Array();
code goes here
// --
// Initialize the score array
// --
score = new Array();
code goes here
}
public var board:Array; // A 7 by 6 two dimensional array of
integers representing the state of game
public var score:Array; // A 2 dimensional array of integers
representing the score for the players
}
The Java code has a function called a Copy Constructor that enables
you
to
create new objects that are copies of existing objects. The copy
constructor
for Connect4State just copies the contents of each member variable. It
is
necessary to have a copy constructor for Connect4State because the AI
algorithms use temporary state objects a great deal
This is the copy constructor code translated to AS2
public function Connect4State(state:Connect4State) {
// --
// Copy the board
// --
board = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i 7; i++) {
board[i] = new Array();
for (j:Number = 0; j 6; j++) {
board[i][j] = state.board[i][j];
}
}
// ---
// Copy the scores

for (var i:Number = 0; i 2; i++) {
score = new Array();
for (var j:Number = 0; j winPlaces; j++) {
score[i][j] = state.score[i][j];
numPieces = state.numPieces;
}
}
}
AS2 seems not to like this as I get the following error
A class must have only one constructor.
public function Connect4State(state:Connect4State)
Anyone suggest an alternative to this Copy Constructor?

Hi there
Is there an equivalent of the Java Copy constructor in Flash AS2?
Thanks

[Flashcoders] Recommended encoding rates for FLV?
I have been using video in Flash since it was first introduced. So I will tell you what I know from my experience. I agree with Bjorn. The website he suggests is a great resource. I will also point you to a website that allows you to make a side by side comparison of codecs and bitrates. http://www.flashvideofaq.com/ IMHO, the On2 Flix Flash8 encoding solution will give you the best quality. If you have a lot of videos, then you will definitely want Sorenson Squeeze with the On2 codec plug in. For a connection speed of 1mb I would recommend 872 kbps bit rate for the video and for the audio 44100Hz sampling rate and 128kbps bit rate. Video size 720w 480h or less. Encode with 2pass VBR for progressive download or 2pass CBR for streaming. The quality of the source video will have the greatest impact on the quality of the output video more than codecs or bitrates. So focus on that as much as you can.

RE: [Flashcoders] Copy Constructor
Doing a trace I can see the copies are being affected as if they are
references. I was under the impression that array.concat() made a unique
copy of an array - is this not true?
Here is what I traced:
var tempState:Connect4State = new Connect4State(state);
trace (Original board = + state.board);
trace (tempState.board = + tempState.board);
trace (tempState.map = + tempState.map);
tempState.board[2][2] = 5;
trace (Original board = + state.board);
trace (tempState.board = + tempState.board);
And the result of altering the tempState.board also altered the original
board array.
Could really do with some help on this one.

Yes. You need to clone the objects/arrays, not just set pointers.
var newArray:Array = [];
var i:Number = oldArray.length;
while (i--) {
newArray[i] = oldArray[i];
}
return newArray;
If you're storing objects in the array not just numbers or strings, then
you need to clone those as well or they will just stored as pointers to
the objects in the other array.

IMO, there's nothing wrong with using TextField.variable. It has its time and place and can be used properly.

RE: [Flashcoders] Copy Constructor
I don't see anything wrong after a (very) cursory glance.
One red flag, though, is that you are making your variables public. This
means there could be code elsewhere that sets them to be identical to
each other. Because of issues like this, I think it's a good practice
never to make variables public (except in some cases, like static
pseudo-constants in AS2.0; but AS3.0 has real constants, so this problem
goes away). There are two things you could do with an array: 1) make it
read-only, offering a defensive copy with a getter; 2) provide methods
for accessing and updating its data:
1)
public function get board():Array {
return _board.concat();
}
private var _board:Array;
2)
public function getBoardStatus(x:Number; y:Number):Number {
return _board[x][y];
}
public function setBoardStatus(x:Number; y:Number, value:Number):Void {
_board[x][y] = value;
}
Actually, looking at it further, Board should probably be a class
composed by Connect4State. Oh, damn, and I realized why you are having
that problem! See copy function below (it's because you are copying an
array of arrays):
class connect4.BoardStatus {
private function BoardStatus() {
}
public static var BLACK:BoardStatus = new BoardStatus();
public static var EMPTY:BoardStatus = new BoardStatus();
public static var RED:BoardStatus = new BoardStatus();
}

_status = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i source._status.length; ++i) {
_status[i] = source._status[i].concat();
}

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Copy Constructor
Seem to be having problems with this still.
It seems like every time I change a value in the main constructor
objects
array, it also changes the array values in the copies.
Are these copies essentially just pointers to the same array?
Basically the reason I need copies is so it can simulate future moves
in
the
game by updating a copy of the game state arrays.
So essentially I need to create copies of these arrays that I can
manipulate
without these manipulations affecting the arrays they were copied
from.
I hope that makes sense
Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] [ot-ish] Screen recording software for Windows?
For years we've used HyperCam its about $40 - http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/ You might also try BB FlashBack the express version is cheap ($40), but lacks the editor that the full version has (but if you export to AVI from the recorder then you won't care). The 'native' compression format of the capture is a very high compression, but I believe, lossless, format based on the windows drawing apis. http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/BBFlashBackExpress.aspx Josh Santangelo wrote: I'm usually a Mac guy and have lots of fun with SnapzProX, but I need something similar for recording on-screen interactions to video files in Windows.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS Tweening. Approach to prevent tween
You can also alter the Tween class (by creating an own version from, or
extending the mx.transitions.Tween Class) and make it possible to
disable. I have found this to be the most reliable way to get around the
problem, since stop(), or deleting the Tween will not always work for
some reasons.
//add a property:
private var enabled:Boolean = true;
//and two functions:
function disable():Void {
enabled = false;
setPosition = null;
}
function enable():Void {
enabled = true;
setPosition = doSetPosition;
}
And there you go, Tweens can be disabled.

[Flashcoders] Slower after cleared interval
Hi, I am using a one movieClip loader object to load multiple swf. I am also using an interval to preload all off my elements, one after each other. I have two problems resulting from the preloading. 1. Seem like when a export the movie an test without simulating the bandwith, flash can¹t clear the last interval. 2. When I test with the bandwith simulation on, interval are cleared, but the movie run slower... It¹s lagging a lot. Any idea of how come this happen?

Re: [Flashcoders] AS Tweening. Approach to prevent tween
That's all so complex.. Still rolling your own huh? The latest ZigoEngine will automatically overwrite a similar property tween when a new one is called. (Like: tweening the _alpha of the clip down on rollout will kill a runnging _alpha tween from your onrollover event.) If you want to kill any tweens in a target you can use removeTween(). There's also a global option that automatically stops any tweens in that target when any new tweens are added (a legacy from Zeh's early work), which is not really recommended but might come in handy for some projects: ZigoEngine.AUTOSTOP = true; Hope that helps - download at http://www.mosessupposes.com/Fuse/ Also in the next rev of Fuse (a prerelease is now available), a similar behavior has been implemented so that any sequence that's interrupted will auto-stop unless you specify otherwise. Really helps when it comes to coding interactivity! That prerelease also installs the *new improved Custom Easing Panel* -- check it out! -mg I've been building sites with laco's tweens for a good while.
