RE: Re: [Flashcoders] Good External Actionscript Editor for Mac?
Nice, I just got textmate and really appreciate these answers because I was about to ask the same question! Regards, Peter Witham -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Rodecker Sent: Sunday, December 17, 2006 12:51 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Good External Actionscript Editor for Mac? there are a few ways to do it. you won't get the 'intellisense' autocompletion like how it is in the flash IDE (with the dropdown that pops up), but you can: 1. Hit the escape key when you are typing. This automcpletes the word based on mathes it finds in the document, based on distance from the cursor: http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/working_with_text#completion 2. use tab triggers to insert snippets into your code. a snippet is a bit of text you want to insert into the document. a tab trigger just means that that you can assign a keystroke plus hit the tab key and the snippet will be inserted. For instance, I have it set up so i type 'getset'-tab, and a private var with it's getter/setter methods will appear. The coolest hing about snippets is that you can tab through them after the appear, so you can jump right to the spot where you want to type just by hitting tab again, and use mirroring if you need to type the same thing more than once in a snippet. http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/snippets#snippets On 12/17/06, Josh Santangelo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How do you make TextMate do autocompletion?

Re: [Flashcoders] Seek MVC Menu
On 12/17/06, Stephen Hueners [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Seems like the MVC pattern would be a natural fit for a menuing system that
has to keep track of things like logged user various button states and
actions. I'm looking for a sample of AS2 code being used to build a menuing
system.
Kind of depends on what your states and actions are. Here's a good basis:
/**
* Model class that stores data for one menu item.
f *
* pOptionally has child items./p
*/
class menu.MenuItem {
/**
* Label for this item.
*/
public function get label():String;
/**
* Number if child items (nonnegative integer).
*/
public function get childCount():Number;
/**
* Retrieves a child item.
*
* @param index Index of child item, nonnegative integer less
than [EMAIL PROTECTED] #childCount}.
*/
public function getChild(index:Number):MenuItem;
/**
* Reads data from an XML node.
*
* @param node XML node with menu item data.
* @throws Error If [EMAIL PROTECTED] node} is not properly formatted.
*/
public function readXMLNode(node:XMLNode):Void;
}
import menu.MenuItem;
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
[Event(currentChange)]
/**
* Controller class that keeps track of the currently-selected item.
*/
class MenuController extends EventDispatcher {
/**
* Currently-selected menu item.
*/
[Bindable(event=currentChange)]
public function get currentItem():MenuItem;
public function set currentItem(item:MenuItem):Void;
}
import menu.MenuController;
import menu.MenuItem;
/**
* Menu item component.
*/
class menu.MenuItemView extends MovieClip {
/**
* Creates a new instance referring to a specific item.
*
* @param parent Parent movie clip.
* @param controller Object that controls the menu.
* @param item Menu item model object.
* @return New instance of this class.
*/
public static function create(parent:MovieClip, controller:MenuController,
item:MenuItem):MenuItemView;
/**
* The item that this component refers to.
*/
public function get item():MenuItem;
}
MenuView components could then listen to MenuController.instance for
currentChange events and update whether or not they are enabled or
disabled. Further attributes could be added to MenuItem (id, type,
selectable, whatever). MenuController could also be used to keep track
of other things. It might also be a good idea to create a Menu class
for containing top-level MenuItem objects, with a corresponding
MenuView class for containing top-level MenuItemView object.
There are a lot of different things you could do with this basic MVC
setup, depending on what you need.

Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback question...
Hi,
1. Switch between indexes if you have alot of sequential movies to play
2. use doLater if you're building on top of mx.core.uicomponent or a
setInterval() with 100 milliseconds and a clear Interval to kill it again
3. Make sure you get the latest FLVPlayback component update
4. I am streaming through FMS and I get the same problem, make sure the flvs
are not corrupted ..etc
5. check the following example, and make sure after you create allow a frame
to pass so that the draw methods of the flvplayback component are done
drawing.
6. MAKE sure you're not assigning an undefined value or a bad link, it
breaks up the thing !! you'll have to use a catch/try if you're not sure or
if statement before you assign.
function createFLVPlayback()
{
this.my_FLVPlybk = FLVPlayback (this.attachMovie (FLVPlayback,
my_FLVPlybk, 500));
this.my_FLVPlybk.autoPlay=true;
this.play_btn._visible= !this.my_FLVPlybk.playing
this.pause_btn._visible=this.my_FLVPlybk.playing
this.my_FLVPlybk.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 1
this.my_FLVPlybk.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = 1
this.my_FLVPlybk.progressInterval = 001;
voloff_btn._visible = false;
play_btn._visible = false;
}
function switchToAnotherPlayer()
{
i=i==1? 2 : 1;
k=i==1? 2 : 1;
my_FLVPlybk.closeVideoPlayer(i);
my_FLVPlybk.ncMgr.close();
my_FLVPlybk.getVideoPlayer(my_FLVPlybk.visibleVideoPlayerIndex).ncMgr.close();
my_FLVPlybk.activeVideoPlayerIndex = k;
my_FLVPlybk.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = k;
}

I've had similar problems and struggled for weeks to solve them. I
found that in general, FLVPlayback is much more reliable with RTMP
streams than HTTP.
Another thing to mess with is the visiblePlayerIndex and
activePlayerIndex properties. Instead of playing one file right after
the other in the same player, switch between a couple of player
indexes. I think this approach works a bit better.

I've got an instance of the FLVPlayback in an app that is getting sent

It's not working 100%, as every so often it decides it doesn't want to
load that requested video.
What's a better way of using one FLVPlayback object that reloads video
requested? Birthing a new instance each and every time?

[Flashcoders] Using transform with a clip loaded during runtime..
Hey folks, I haven't been a member of this list long, but love the opportunity to learn from you folks. Please go easy on me as I'm not much of a Flash expert here and this is my first post on the list. I have been searching for this problem I'm having and hopefully someone has some insight. Please take a gawk? I have a main app (AS2, Flash 8) that loads up an external SWF at runtime. The root app has a panel of buttons that each have color transforms applied to their background colors (each is an instance of a library clip with a background color clip set to transform). Basically, the intent is to be able to change their colors at runtime, so I did my first foray into Transforms with this project. So... I also want to take the color used for the buttons and apply them to clips that are inside an external SWF that is loaded during runtime. Thus, _root.button1 has a color transform set at initialization to an RGB value. What I want to do is apply the same color transform to _root.loadedMovie.someMovieClip . I had all the transforms working great inside the _root app, but once I tried transforming stuff inside the loaded movie clip, I am having no luck. I think it's mainly (only??) a scope issue, since I've done a trace(this); from inside the external SWF and when the root app runs, I see _level0.container.instance2 (container is where the SWF is loaded, of course). So, I'm having trouble understanding where instance2 gets decided, and how to control that so I can get to clips inside there... ie: _level0.container.instance2.myMiscMC ??? Every time I re-load the SWF (by clicking a load movie type button from _root), the instance gets updated... so it could be instance12 after a while, for instance. (Gah! pun NOT intended) Well.. I'm having trouble asking this question, since I'm not sure what to ask. Please let me know if anyone has some idea of what is going on here. I'll expand on the issue as I get some direction about what other info you need. I've tried placing some of the transform initialization code inside the external SWF itself... I'm not getting my head wrapped around why I would do that, though. It seems like the root app should create/control the transforms. Bah. Well, I'll see if anyone bites. Thanks HUGE for any help!!
