Re: [Flashcoders] Object registerClass
I will try to explain this:
first, apoligizes for my bloody english, :P
i want to build one menu from XML source like this.
item label=Nuevo clase = bm_New/
i know the process for linking clases to a symbol in the library, but i
don't wanna to have multiples copys of symbols with different class
linkages.
the type of var className is a String im sure of this.
var className:String
If i make this:
for (var i in lib.botones.menu){
trace ( i + -- + lib.botones.menu[i]);
}
trace outputs all the clases in route /lib/botones/menu/, used by
flash:classes associated on a symbol in the library, attached to the scene
or previous code registered.
I hope this is not the same thing.
lib.botones.menu[bm_Nuevo];
var clase:String = bm_Nuevo;
lib.botones.menu[clase];
The only solution i have found is add a previous methodregister() to the
parent class, and use like this.
lib.botones.menu[bm_New].register();
or make before attach the simbol botonTipo for all the clases i want to use
later.
Object.registerClass (botonTipo, lib.botones.menu[bm_New]);
botonTipo is the default button i want to attach and apply class.
if i make this previously
Object.registerClass (botonTipo, lib.botones.menu[bm_New]);
Object.registerClass (botonTipo, lib.botones.menu[bm_Close]);
Object.registerClass (botonTipo, lib.botones.menu[bm_Open]);
...
and trace
for (var i in lib.botones.menu){
trace ( i + -- + lib.botones.menu[i]);
}
y found all the new clases.
nice or not?

Hi Oskar!
Trace the type of the variable, if you're getting it from an XML, it
could easily be object instead of string.
Cheers!

Re: [Flashcoders] Object registerClass
Hi,
just a small note:
var a:String, will NOT guarantee that a is actually a string.
for example:
var arr:Array = [_root.createEmptyMovieClip(test, 0)];
var str:String = arr[0];
trace( typeof (str));
will compile just fine and trace movieclip

[Flashcoders] Weird movie corruption
Greetings, all. I've been working on an interactive quiz for a while now,
and it's working correctly, except that some parts of it break after making
a call to any JavaScript function. I've been trying fruitlessly to debug
this for a small eternity now, and I've finally run out of ideas.
Could someone try to reproduce this effect? I've been able to reproduce the
bug (?) with the following setup:
The components are a button symbol and three movie clips. One movie clip has
three frames with a static graphic on each frame; each frame has a stop()
statement on it, and nothing else. Attached to it at the root level is
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x=_root._xmouse;
this._y=_root._ymouse;
}
This clip should be named 'pointer', and reside alone on the top layer.
The second movie clip has the following code attached to it:
onClipEvent(load){
onRollOver=function(){
Mouse.hide();
_root.pointer.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
onRollOut=function(){
Mouse.show();
_root.pointer.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}
The third and final movie clip has the same code attached to it, save that
its onRollOver send the pointer clip to frame 3, rather than frame 2.
The button has the following code attached to it:
on(release){
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call(alert, alert called);
}
After clicking the button and thereby making the JS call, the pointer clip
stops following the system mouse movements. I've seen this behavior using
both fscommand and ExternalInterface, exporting for Flash Player 6 and 8.
The consistency makes me believe either that it's a bug in the way that
Flash handles calls to JavaScript, or that it's a really really basic error
in my AS.
Many Thanks,
Chris Akins

[Flashcoders] Remoting blank requests
Hey! I'm in a process of exploring why my remoting data feeds get slow somtimes. Therefore i installed Service Capture and started to look what it does and found out that there are blank requests before real request with proper data. I believe this might confuse my app, since any data request migh fire response routines or anything like that. I did checked all places I am calling any remoting services and I am absolutely sure there are no multiply calls from me. Empty call looks exactly as proper one with single difference - it pass null null null instead of real request data. I am using amfphp and FF. Could be that this is normal behavior of Remoting or thats bug in somewhere, ideas? tnx in advance jānis ___ 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] odd _alpha arithmetic
It's because _alpha is stored internally at 255 levels, so it's the
dodgy floating point accuracy and conversion from the internal value
to a percentage that causes the inconsistency. If it causes problems,
I usually have a separate value for storing the current alpha.
myClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(appClip,1);
myClip.modifier = 5;
myClip.currentAlpha = 100;
myClip.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.currentAlpha-=this.modifier;
this._alpha = this.currentAlpha
}
Hope this helps!

[Flashcoders] Best hardware for Flash
Hello, I'm looking into specifying hardware for running Flash projector based kiosks. The aim is to get the best possible Flash performance while avoiding spending money on technology that isn't going to make any difference. Given that the usual performance benchmarks don't really apply to Flash I was wondering if anyone had any particular insight or had done any tests. At the moment I've been working on the following vague assumptions based on my experience and reading of various reviews. Processor speed is important, but the type of processor is as well. Roughly speaking, Pentium Ds are the slowest per Hz, Athlons and Pentium M's are next followed by Core 2's which are the fastest. Dual processors or more may give you a slight increase due to the system using the other processor for operating system tasks but this isn't going to be much more than 10% because Flash isn't multi threaded. Similarly 64 bit systems may increase speed a bit as the operating system may get a bit of an advantage but this isn't going to be much as neither standard Windows nor Flash is 64 bit (yet). On board memory chips usually use a shared memory architecture which uses the system memory for graphics. This seems substantially slower than graphics cards with their own dedicated video RAM. However, given that Flash doesn't use 3D engines its not really worth shelling out a lot for a really high spec card. However adding a mid range graphics card can improve performance. At the moment I'm using nVidia because the drivers that come with their cards seem to be the most reliable. Unless your project is really huge you're not going to need much memory over 1Gb or a particularly large or fast hard drive because most Flash projects can loaded into the memory at start. I'd be interested if anyone can add to these thoughts or has information that contradicts them.

Re: [Flashcoders] Weird movie corruption
A couple of things to try...
I've recently been getting VERY unpredictable results with JS/AS
communication and I realised that security settings seem to be a bit
weird... so the first thing to try is uploading it to a web server and
see if it still happens there.
Secondly, I would delete all the movieclips and just have the button
left just to make sure there's nothing to do with hiding the mouse or
changing frames. I'm sure it's fine, but you need to eliminate
everything that could be a problem.
good luck!

[Flashcoders] upcasting causes overridden superclasses methods to be called
I was hunting a bug when I found this out:
class SuperClass {
public function init() {
trace (superclass init);
}
}
class SubClass extends SuperClass{
public override function init(){
trace (subclass init);
}
}
if you create a subclass instances and cast it (or type its variable)
to the superclass, when init is invoked, the superclass init is called.
var aInstance:SuperClass=new SubClass();
aInstance.init();//superclass init
Makes senses, now how about a way around this? I want to make sure
the instance's OWN init() is called.
Here's the context: I'm upcasting in a button factory class, when
SubClass is a variable:
public function ButtonFactory(graphicsFactory:graphicFactory,
buttonClass:Class) {
//the compiler won't let me cast to an unknown class, so
//since I know buttonClass is a descendent of BaseButton, which has
all the relevant graphics-setting methods, I upcast it
//buttonClass--BaseButton
aButton:BaseButton=new buttonClass()
//the graphics settings methods are in BaseButton, so I'm fine to
build up the graphics
aButton.disabledState=graphicsFactory.makeDisabledState()
//but this calls BaseButton.init(), not buttonClass.init()
aButton.init()
}
Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] LocalConnection breaks object types?
can't understand... any explaination please? Just guessing, I haven't tried anything like this with localConnection, but it seems to be the same like with local SharedObjects: If you have MyClass in both SWFs, and send an instance 'foo' to the other, try to set foo.__proto__ = MyClass.prototype on the receiving side. Maybe also foo.constructor = MyClass. In any case, try the link Martin posted first. I haven't had a look at it, but it possibly provides a cleaner solution.

Re: [Flashcoders] Undefined value
You have an incorrect not equal: !== There's just one equal sign: != !== strict inequality operator expression1 !== expression2 Tests for the exact opposite of the strict equality (===) operator. The strict inequality operator performs the same as the inequality operator except that data types are not converted. If expression1 is equal to expression2, and their data types are equal, the result is false. As with the strict equality (===) operator, the definition of equal depends on the data types being compared, as illustrated in the following list: Numbers, strings, and Boolean values are compared by value. Objects, arrays, and functions are compared by reference. A variable is compared by value or by reference, depending on its type.

I can see two possible problems here Laurent. Firstly I think you need
to change the || to . You are testing whether a value is not one
thing or not another. Because it can't be both of them at once one of
those will always be true, therefore the whole statement will always
be true.
Secondly, you are testing for the string undefined, whereas you
probably want to be testing against the value undefined itself. (It's
possible that's not the case, I haven't seen the rest of your code.
Hope that helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] upcasting causes overridden superclasses methods to be called
Hi,
running your example shows: subclass init, as it should.
public override function init(){
trace (subclass init);
}
whats the override keyword doing there?

Hello anyone know the actionscript for a button that will control a
video fast forward and rewind button that forwards and rewinds in a
smooth transition? I want to use it with an existing scrubber that is
working. The buttons are working but at present they only go back or
foreard based on 1 or 2 second increments.
Here is what i have at present:
// my custom nav buttons are below
ff_button.onRelease = function (){
myDisplay.jumpToVideoPosition(myDisplay.currentVideoPosition + 1);
}
rev_button.onRelease = function (){
myDisplay.jumpToVideoPosition(myDisplay.currentVideoPosition - 1);

RE: [Flashcoders] quick actionscript question
The problem is in how the FLVs are encoded. You have to encode with
keyframes on every frame. Once that's done, they should scroll fine
(although backwards is generaly chunkier than forwards).

[Flashcoders] Strange XML problems
Hi, 1. I have a main flash file which loads external SWF's when a particular tab is clicked on. This main file is embedded in an HTML page. All the data is coming through the XML file, including the fields that need to be populated in the SWF's loaded externally. 2. I've assigned a global variable that allows the external SWF's access to it. 3. It works perfectly in the flash IDE. 4. It works fine in firefox the first few times and then just returns 'undefined' for the variables that need to be populated, in SWF's loaded externally into the main file. I've been struggling with this issue since morning and can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is or what I'm doing wrong. I've changed folder structures, manipulated code...I'm so frustrated!

In my case, I only care about the x coordinates. I'm currently drawing the plot using moveTo and fill. Can anyone recommend an approach or point me to some sample code? I'm new to flash, and I've already hit a brick wall. I'd really appreciate any help.

[Flashcoders] HELP!!! Eventdispatcher and firefox bug????
I've come across something for the first time... at first I thought it was my code but... My application loads xml, then dispatches a build event to another class which attaches clips from my library. The application ALWAYS works if i launch the swf directly. The application also ALWYAS works if I launch using a browser, but ONLY IE!!! If I use Firefox(I'm using version 1.50.8). and have FP v 9.016 installed..it sometimes works (I can't give a percentage)...but what usually happens is I can trace right up to my 'build' method in the class receving the 'build' event and then nothing!! Clearing the cache DOES NOT HELP! The build method doesnt get called! Again...this is only an issue in Firefox PLEASE HELP! arghh!

Re: [Flashcoders] Best hardware for Flash
i'm very interest in this , i want to detailed understand this!!! 赵洪日 2006-11-15 发件人： Joe Cutting 发送时间： 2006-11-14 18:59:55 收件人： flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com 抄送： 主题： [Flashcoders] Best hardware for Flash Hello, I'm looking into specifying hardware for running Flash projector based kiosks. The aim is to get the best possible Flash performance while avoiding spending money on technology that isn't going to make any difference. Given that the usual performance benchmarks don't really apply to Flash I was wondering if anyone had any particular insight or had done any tests. At the moment I've been working on the following vague assumptions based on my experience and reading of various reviews. Processor speed is important, but the type of processor is as well. Roughly speaking, Pentium Ds are the slowest per Hz, Athlons and Pentium M's are next followed by Core 2's which are the fastest. Dual processors or more may give you a slight increase due to the system using the other processor for operating system tasks but this isn't going to be much more than 10% because Flash isn't multi threaded. Similarly 64 bit systems may increase speed a bit as the operating system may get a bit of an advantage but this isn't going to be much as neither standard Windows nor Flash is 64 bit (yet). On board memory chips usually use a shared memory architecture which uses the system memory for graphics. This seems substantially slower than graphics cards with their own dedicated video RAM. However, given that Flash doesn't use 3D engines its not really worth shelling out a lot for a really high spec card. However adding a mid range graphics card can improve performance. At the moment I'm using nVidia because the drivers that come with their cards seem to be the most reliable. Unless your project is really huge you're not going to need much memory over 1Gb or a particularly large or fast hard drive because most Flash projects can loaded into the memory at start. I'd be interested if anyone can add to these thoughts or has information that contradicts them.

RE: [Flashcoders] HELP!!! Eventdispatcher and firefox bug????
Ot sounds like it has to do with asynchronous events happening in different orders. Try this--when the XML loads, set a loaded flag on the dispatcher to true and then dispatch a load event. Your listeners should: 1) Check if loaded is true. 2) If so, proceed. 3) If not, listen for the load event. I'll bet what's happening now is that your listeners don't start listening until after the XML has already been loaded--hence they never receive the event.

Re: [Flashcoders] HELP!!! Eventdispatcher and firefox bug????
I've run into something similar where events fire differently in different circumstances. In my case it was the sound.load event, and the problem was I was calling .load just before adding the listener. Switching it to add the listener before calling load (which is the more sensible way of course) fixed it right up. -josh On Nov 14, 2006, at 6:47p, Mike Keesey wrote: Ot sounds like it has to do with asynchronous events happening in different orders.

[Flashcoders] RE:upcasting
Whoops! I didn't actually run this test code, just abstracted from my
problem and spat it out.
I guess my buttons are not instantiated like I thought they were.
I'll take another look.
Thanks JC--override must be applied to any protected or public
method that is overridden in a subclass, in AS3.
Hi,
running your example shows: subclass init, as it should.
public override function init(){
trace (subclass init);
}
whats the override keyword doing there?

if you create a subclass instances and cast it (or type its variable)
to the superclass, when init is invoked, the superclass init is
called.
var aInstance:SuperClass=new SubClass();
aInstance.init();//superclass init
Makes senses, now how about a way around this? I want to make sure
the instance's OWN init() is called.
Here's the context: I'm upcasting in a button factory class, when
SubClass is a variable:
public function ButtonFactory(graphicsFactory:graphicFactory,
buttonClass:Class) {
//the compiler won't let me cast to an unknown class, so
//since I know buttonClass is a descendent of BaseButton, which has
all the relevant graphics-setting methods, I upcast it
//buttonClass--BaseButton
aButton:BaseButton=new buttonClass()
//the graphics settings methods are in BaseButton, so I'm fine to
build up the graphics
aButton.disabledState=graphicsFactory.makeDisabledState()
//but this calls BaseButton.init(), not buttonClass.init()
aButton.init()
}

[Flashcoders] hi-lighting an item in the list component won't work for me.
Hi all,
I am trying to dynamically set a particular item in the list
component, but it does not seem to work at all.
Here's what I'm using:
songList_lb.selectedIndex = myTrack_Pos+1;
songList_lb.dispatchEvent({type:change, target:songList_lb});
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Weird movie corruption
ive found that when i use ExternalInterface to call a JS alert, that my
movie will often hang. I get the JS alert like i should, no JS errorsit
just locks up the swf. without having the time to dig deeper, i found a
quick fix, and called the alert with a setTimeout, like this:
ExternalInterface.call(setTimeout, alert('+someAlertString+'), 50);
if i remember correctly, though, it was kinda picky about how i passed that
2nd param. i may have concatenated that 2nd param in a string on the line
before and passed that string, or i may have passed the alert string as a
4th param.i dont remember. i do remember that calling alert through
setTimeout solved the problem though.

Greetings, all. I've been working on an interactive quiz for a while now,
and it's working correctly, except that some parts of it break after
making
a call to any JavaScript function. I've been trying fruitlessly to debug
this for a small eternity now, and I've finally run out of ideas.
Could someone try to reproduce this effect? I've been able to reproduce
the
bug (?) with the following setup:
The components are a button symbol and three movie clips. One movie clip
has
three frames with a static graphic on each frame; each frame has a stop()
statement on it, and nothing else. Attached to it at the root level is
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x=_root._xmouse;
this._y=_root._ymouse;
}
This clip should be named 'pointer', and reside alone on the top layer.
The second movie clip has the following code attached to it:
onClipEvent(load){
onRollOver=function(){
Mouse.hide();
_root.pointer.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
onRollOut=function(){
Mouse.show();
_root.pointer.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}
The third and final movie clip has the same code attached to it, save that
its onRollOver send the pointer clip to frame 3, rather than frame 2.
The button has the following code attached to it:
on(release){
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call(alert, alert called);
}
After clicking the button and thereby making the JS call, the pointer clip
stops following the system mouse movements. I've seen this behavior using
both fscommand and ExternalInterface, exporting for Flash Player 6 and 8.
The consistency makes me believe either that it's a bug in the way that
Flash handles calls to JavaScript, or that it's a really really basic
error
in my AS.
Many Thanks,
Chris Akins
