RE: [Flashcoders] correct way to set onRease of an arbitrary button

[Nimrod Huberman]

You can set pointer to the question class in the button, and use it later in
function .
Use this code in the your question class:
answerButton.handleBy = this;
answerButton.onRelease = function() { handleBy.GiveAnswer(aNum);}

Subject: [Flashcoders] correct way to set onRease of an arbitrary button

(Putting aside whether or not this is best practice design, as I'm just 
trying to get my head around this.)

I've put three buttons in _root.questionInterface called button_1, 
button_2, etc.  Elsewhere I have defined a class Question.  When an 
instance of Question is displayed, it needs to modify the onRelease of 
the three buttons so that the Question gets notified when each button 
gets released.

Within the "Display" method of the Question, I want to do something like

for (var aNum=1; aNum<=5; aNum++) {

var answerButton = _root.questionInterface["button_"+aNum];
// pseudo code:
make the onRelease of answerButton make a call to the function 
AnswerSelected(aNum) inside of this
//

// I have tried the following, but it's not right
answerButton.onRelease = function() { this.GiveAnswer(aNum);};


}


Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] flash.media.Camera.setMode Freeze SWF

[Anthony Lee]

Hi Luciano,

It sets the pixel width, pixel height and framerate for the camera
it's called on. ie. What the data is grabbed at. How you choose to
preset it is something else.

For example:

var cam:Camera = Camera.get();
cam.setMode(320, 240, 20);

But it's a bit more complicated than that because the camera generally
has preset modes so Flash attempts to find the one closest to your
request, giving preference to the framerate.

Does it freeze your machine? What are your specs?

[Flashcoders] get ip by host name

[lincoln]

does flash (or javascript for that matter) have anyway to get an IP  
by host name?  For example:


 var returnIP = getIPbyHost("chattyfig.com");

I'm restricted to scripts that only run locally (not server based  
like PHP).  Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] is flash still alive?

[Ramon Miguel M. Tayag]

Yep, I always tell them otherwise, so at least I get to convert one
person at a time.  We use normal computers btw!  At least most of the
time, not systems built out of scrap from other countries! ;)

I've noticed this topic has gone quite off, but I'm sure ottocid has
gotten the message, even just by the sheer number of emails!  Flash is
very much alive!

[Flashcoders] Caching

[Paul Andrews]

I've been building a graphical front end controlled via a text log file that
is frequently updated by a running process. The log file and web server are
on the same unix box. I read the text log file using LoadVars. All well and
good.

The flash code reads the log file, extracts pertinent data and runs
animations accordingly. For the most part it works well - reading from a
static log file - no problem.
In practice, the log file is not static and is being continually refreshed
by another process that changes it's content. The flash code repeatedly
re-reads the changing log file and the whole thing will start again,
repeating as required.

Now to the point: Since the flash front end runs in a browser, I realise
that supplying a url to read the logfile from using Loadvars would be prone
to caching in the browser and adding a changing parameter in the file url
would deal with that. In my case, rather than use a url I've specified the
logfile location as a relative path from the swf, therby avoiding sandbox
restrictions.

Using this technique (a relative path), is the file read prone to be cached
by the browser?
If so, is there any way to defeat the caching when using a relative file
path (since you can't include a changing parameter in what looks like a
local file)?

If this file is being cached, I guess I'll have no choice but to use a url,
cache killer parameter and a policy file.

Thanks,

Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] Controlling flv

[greg h]

Adrian,

Have you gotten this resolved yet?

I am a little rusty on the FLVPlayback component.  It wraps the VideoPlayer
class.  If you look on the docs there are a number of properties on
VideoPlayer that you might be able to use to construct the logic you
describe.  Docs here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/3645.html

For instance, do your FLVs have encoding showing values on the property
VideoPlayer.totalTime?  If so, perhaps you can have a listener watch
VideoPlayer.playheadTime and as it reaches totalTime you can have the logic
"pause on the last frame of the video before fading to black".

Also, I don't know if you might be able to use the event
VideoPlayer.complete.

Maybe somebody from YouTube is on the list and they can share how their
player is coded  :-)

Regardless, please post back and let us know if you have resolved this, and
if so how.

hth,

g

Hi,

I'm working with Flash 8 and I've imported an flv to the stage and set
it as a progressive download, using a preset skin to control the video.
This has created a Flash Video component on the stage.

This works fine but the clip ends abruptly before returning to the
start.
I'd like to pause on the last frame of the video before fading to black
over a few seconds. It can then return to the start.

As the video is not on the timeline, is this possible? Can the video be
controlled with script to do this?

Thanks,

Adrian

Re: [Flashcoders] Adjust height of UIScrollBar?

[Marc Hoffman]

Update: I was finally able to do this -- not sure exactly where in 
the sequence the UIScrollbar snaps to the textfield, but if you catch 
it after that point you can just use myScrollBar._height = nnn. I'm 
now setting it after the xml loads and is assigned to the text field, 
and that seems to work fine.

I want to set the UIScrollbar height independent of the height of

Is it just me, or did Flash8 do away with that? Now the scrollbar 
snaps to the height of the textfield no matter what I do. Anyone 
know how to fix this? I want the scrollbar to fill a vertical space 
but I want the textfield shorter so it maintains top and bottom 
margins. Anyone know how to do this?

by "graphical code behind" do you mean that it outputs SVG? that is a

[Flashcoders] (job offered) Need Referral to ASP Programmer

[Marc Hoffman]

I am looking for someone to work the server side of a Flash project, 
using asp. No recruiters, please.


Might this be you, or someone you know? The person must have 
demonstrated expertise in these areas:


1. Establish a database (this one will hold about 1,000 items, each 
with 4-6 fields).
2. On receipt of a query from Flash, the ASP will send Flash an xml 
file of the current database.
3. Establish a shopping cart, possibly using AbleCommerce, which is 
asp.net -- not sure yet, and not sure if using .net complicates 
things. You might be in a position to recommend a different shopping 
cart that you're more familiar with, as long as it works with asp.

4. Receive variables from Flash and send them securely to the shopping cart.

Experience integrating Flash and asp is desirable, but not essential.

The project is not yet certain, but we're well into negotiations.

Please email me offlist. If you include links to a resume and work 
samples, I promise to reply. If you look like a good candidate, I 
will also forward your information to the client, who will be doing the hiring.



Many thanks,

Marc

I'm not familiar with asunit, but I assume it's based on JUnit? I
created an AS2 package for doing unit tests and in mine I extended
Test, TestCase, and TestSuite to produce AsyncTest, AsyncTestCase, and
AsyncTestSuite, respectively. These classes complete test runs on
asynchronous events rather than at the end of a function call. In the
test cases there are functions called onRunComplete and onRunError
which can be made to listen for certain events, or can be called by
event handler functions.

Thank you for correcting me, I respect and honor your knowledge, but 
this statement doe not help me at all. I still don't know why 
parseFloat in as3 fails where other languages succeed. The Java Double 
and the AS3 Number are documented to have the same # of bits for the 
exponent. Why does the parsing algorithm for these numbers return 
different results?
Because of the way the algorithms are coded. Within the specification of 
floating point numbers both are correct. You can not have more than 16 
meaningful digits in the whole number. You can put lots of zeros before 
and after to make very big numbers or very small numbers.
10010 and 10014 are the same double precision 
number. The hardware can not represent any difference
I have a lot of reading to do. There are a lot of details that I need 
in order to have a good grasp on the idea.


I found this particularly helpful:
http://people.uncw.edu/tompkinsj/133/Numbers/Reals.htm#applet

I certainly need a better idea of floating point numbers in general, 
but I don't think the basic idea will give me the answer to this 
question. It's as if I have to know how different data types store all 
kinds of numbers on the binary level. I then need to understand how 
storage affects the parsing process. I will have to know and 
understand the parsing algorithms.


You got it. If you are going to try to exceed the spec, you have to 
understand what is happening.

You need to understand what "equality" means in floating point.
You must never compare 2 floating point numbers for equality. You can 
only get "close enough".
It has been that way for almost 60 years now and you and I are not going 
to change it.
If you really need to do arithmetic on very big or very small numbers 
with high precision, you have to use data types that support that or 
write your own. This was mentioned in an early part of this thread. That 
is what astronomers and nuclear physicists have to do.
ATM, I am on the verge of understanding why some base 10 numbers 
cannot be represented in base 2. I've wondered about the mechanism for 
representing fractions in different bases. I think representing 
fractions in base 2 will finally allow me to abstract this concept. 
It's something I've been pondering for some time now...



All base 10 numbers can be represented up to some level of precision.
Why can't 1/3 be represented in Base 10?

I think that you will get this figured out but I am afraid that we have 
lost sight of your original need.

mantisa.


The maximum exponent allowed is determined by the hardware as is the
number of bits in the mantissa.. There are some general statements
about
what float can stand and what double can handle but no one makes any
promises about the last few bits of the mantissa.

From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point
The arithmetical distance between two consecutive representable
floating
point numbers is called an "ULP", for Unit in the Last Place. For
example, the numbers represented by 45670123 and 45670124
hexadecimal is
one ULP. An ULP is about 10^-7 in single precision, and 10^-16 in
double
precision. The mandated behavior of IEEE-compliant hardware is
that the
result be within one-half of an ULP.

This tells you exactly what is supposed to happen - 7 digits of
information in floating point and 16 in double
and the last bit can be off by 1/2.

Re[2]: [Flashcoders] Detecting embedded domain?

[R�kos Attila]

Correction: since you don't need to know the URL exactly and it is
enough to determine whether it is your own or not, use JS (e.g. as
mentioned by Dave) and if you get no valid response (no matter if it
is a non-matching URL or nothing/error) show the logo. The only
deficiency is that users with disabled JS will have the logo
displayed.

[Flashcoders] new FuseFX utility

[Moses Gunesch]

When I built Fuse 2 I made a decision to reign in some of the OO  
extensibility stuff in favor of a simpler, more self-contained  
system. I wasn't sure if anyone really bothers, so figured I'd wait  
until people start banging down the door. Took a while but I've some  
knocks, so I created a handy utility for extending Fuse Kit 2.


Like Fuse Kit, FuseFX is MIT open-source licensed, free to download,  
and super easy to use. Enjoy!


-Moses
_

FuseFX extensions define new tweenable properties that will work via  
standard doTween calls. Management of the extensions is fully  
automated — simply register your extensions during setup and they're  
activated. It's also freaky easy to build your own. Be sure to also  
download Fuse 2.1.3 which is required for FuseFX.


- MixerFX — tween VOLUME/PAN on Sound objects
- TextFX — tween props like KERNING, LEADING
- ColorFX by Graeme Asher — includes SATURATION

Ideas for authors: PV3D, Sandy, Skew/ transform via Matrix, Perlin,  
Displacement...

It is. But you can do it manually by locating the ASO files on your hard

Re: [Flashcoders] practical limits to size of XML files?

[Jah]

on the subject of Xpath with large files, i've been impressed with the
speed of XMLUtilities for large XML files. granted it really is just a
wrapper for the built in XML functions, but i found it very fast and
light. and really i hardly use a fraction of what Xpath is capable of
anyway.
sorry for being off topic, in regards to that matter i feel the
subject has been covererd by greater minds than mine. ;)

We do the same thing.
Once you get the hang of the XML classes it is not too bad and you can
really tune your access.

If you are doing your own tree climbing it gets easier to deal with a
multi-file XML structure that can help reduce the amount of XML that you
have to parse in any given operation. You can break the tree from the
root or from the leaves to optimize the apparent latency to the user.

[Flashcoders] Question About MovieClips in Moock's AS Definitive Guide

[ChrisRM]

Hi all,

In his book he states:

"References to objects are pointers; reference-tracking and
garbage-collection protect the user from dangling pointers and memory
leakage. References to movie clips, however, are soft references -- the
reference actually contains an absolute target path. If you have a movie
clip named foo, and the set x = foo (which makes x a reference to clip
foo), and then delete foo using removeMovieClip(), and then create another
clip named foo, the reference x will again be valid (it will point to the
new foo clip)."

My example is slightly different and the reference is not being
reestablished.

I have a class that takes a movie clip as a parameter. (var myClassObject
= new myClass(this);) In this movie clip from frames 1 to 5 I have the
movie clip instance clip1. And on frames 6 to 10 I have other assets.
(clip1 does not reside on frames 6 to 10) The main movie clip can toggle
back and forth between these sets of frames.

Inside the myClass constructor it assigns clip1 to other classes.

function myClass(mc:MovieClip) {
   mc_clip1 = new subClass(mc.clip1);
}

Now, if the playhead moves to frames 6 to 10 and then back to frames 1 to
5, why is the reference to clip1 in mc_clip1 undefined if they are as
identified in the writing as "soft" references? Shouldn't this reference
be restored?

Possible memory-leak issue:

At the moment, each time frame 1 is reached I call mc_clip1 = new
subClass(mc.clip1) elsewhere within myClass.

Should I perform cleanup before re-instantiating these classes, say if
there is an array, to delete the array - or if there's a reference to an
outside class, to delete that as well?

I know I could do something like this below but was wondering about any
possible memory issues by calling new subClass() over and over on the same
variable.

if (mc_clip1 == undefined) {
   mc_clip1 = new subClass(mc.clip1);
} else {
   mc_clip1.setMovieClip(mc.clip1);
}


Thanks.
Chris

Re: [Flashcoders] asunit and a class that loads XML

[T. Michael Keesey]

I'm not familiar with asunit, but I assume it's based on JUnit? I
created an AS2 package for doing unit tests and in mine I extended
Test, TestCase, and TestSuite to produce AsyncTest, AsyncTestCase, and
AsyncTestSuite, respectively. These classes complete test runs on
asynchronous events rather than at the end of a function call. In the
test cases there are functions called onRunComplete and onRunError
which can be made to listen for certain events, or can be called by
event handler functions.

Re: [Flashcoders] I have small doubt

[Mick G]

If you're using CFM, just do a standard POST to a CFM script that updates
the XML. It's more of an issue of how you can do this in Cold Fusion (which
this list is probably not the best place to get help).

If you create a form that has this functionality you need then flash will be
able to post data to this form the same way a standard HTML page will post
data.

Sorry, no way  - it's a security thing - you have to use server-side

RE: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Instance _x and _y

[Jason Lutes]

Thanks Attila. What am I overlooking with getBounds? If, as a test, I create
a basic MC with a rectangle (no stroke, only fill) inside it, and place an
instance of that on the Stage at coordinates 30, 30, getBounds reports its
upper left edges at 27, 27 (xMin, yMin). The lower right edges are correctly
reported, though. I would like more accuracy than that, if it's possible.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

hi.

i have a question on using asunit to test a class that loads XML.

i have a class that accepts a string in its constructor and i want to test
if it'll accept not just an http://myFileLocation.xml but also a file
location such as "/data/config.xml".

my question is how can i write my test with a handler for when the xml is
finished loading?

this is what i have right now:

class com.testsource.util.ConfigParserTest extends
com.asunit.framework.TestCase {
private var className:String = "com.testsource.util.ConfigParserTest";
private var configParser:ConfigParser;

public function setUp():Void {
trace("setUp: " + setUp());
configParser = new ConfigParser("data/config.xml");
 configParser.addEventListener("loadSuccess",
Delegate.create(this,testLoadFileLocation));
}

public function tearDown():Void {
trace("tearDown()");
delete configParser;
 }

public function testLoadFileLocation():Void{
 var size:Number = configParser.getLayerSetSize(); // this should return
the number 2.
 trace("size: " + size);
 assertEquals("example test", size, 2);
}
}

the problem here is that my test is run and testLoadFileLocation() is run
before my XML successfully loads. and by the time it does load, the
'configParser" object has been deleted by the tearDown() method.

so my traces come out looking like this:
setUp()
size: 0
tearDown()
size: undefined

any tips are greatly appreciated.

thanks. -- matt.

Sorry, no way  - it's a security thing - you have to use server-side

RE: [Flashcoders] Accessing an Associative Array

[Merrill, Jason]

Right - 

myArray["hello"] = "hi"

is the same as:

myArray.hello = "hi"

Depends on your coding preferences.  Personally, I prefer Alain's
suggestion of object dot-notation syntax:

myArray.hello

if the array's name is variable, then:

this[myArray].hello

Re: [Flashcoders] is flash still alive?

[Nick Gerig]

Hi Ivan


this is going off topic really but I'd just email the london 
agencies directly. They may want to work with you but most stuff needs 
to be done onsite in their studio for various reasons.


Cheers

Re: [Flashcoders] "faux"penGL library for AS2

[Amir T Rocker]

Hi ,

I have been working on a similar project * -> now I want to switch to 
AS3 and implement

a 'real' rasterizer for flash.
Would you like to start / collaborate on something like this ?

Let me know :)

sincerely

* -> you can find a OpenGL type AS2 Math Lib @ www.amirrocker.de -> 
navigate to the main site and open Developer Tools -> there you find 
a AS2Math3D download file with the API in it however I realized all 
functions as static functions similar to the Math Class -> How does 
that affect performance ? Do you know ?

I've been tooling around with mimicking openGL in AS2.  Here's a demo:

Currently implemented:

3D Transformation Matrix Stack

Are there similar projects out there?

Re: [Flashcoders] I have small doubt

[Gustavo Duenas]

I have the files in a web server, a coldfusion serverso I need  
the server language in order to write this data into a xml...right?
I was wondering if I just send the data over a flash form directly to  
the xml...and that's it...tell me if I wrong. because If I don't ask,  
I wouldn't learn.


Thanks

Or is the swf running offline, for example as a projector exe?

If the answer is web server, then you must use the server language  
to handle

the xml data from flash and to write the relevant xml file.

Here is a good example of getting xml out of Flash by Senocular:

If the answer is offline, you will need to use a wrapper tool (such

Hi!

If I understand correctly, you want to edit (physically) a xml

a client's pc right? This is not possible without extra server side
efforts.

You can load an xml file without problems and transform that any way
you like ver easily. But when you want to store/save that new xml  
file

somewhere where others can access it, you need some sort of server
side script, which will do the actual saving for you.

RE: [Flashcoders] Accessing an Associative Array

[Alain Rousseau]

Actually you have an Object not an Array when you define your variable :

var myarray = { text:"Lorem ipsum" };

is the same as

var myarray:Object = new Object();
myarray.text = "Lorem ipsum";

but with Actionscript you can access objects with the array notaion []

var i:Number = 1;
var myMC:String = "movieClip"+i;

this[myMC]._x = 26;

myarray["text"] = "Lorem Ipsum";

instead of

this.movieClip1._x = 26;

myarray.text = "Lorem Ipsum";


If you really want an associative array, look at Jason's answer
Otherwise keep on using the Object notation, but you will lack all the Array
object specific methods

You're passing showPopup a string with the value "myarray", not the array.

RE: [Flashcoders] I have small doubt

Hi!

Only if you are developing an offline application. In that case this is for
you - http://www.multidmedia.com/software/zinc/osx/

I've used it for the same task, and it was perfect.

Hi!

If I understand correctly, you want to edit (physically) a xml file on a
client's pc right? This is not possible without extra server side
efforts.

You can load an xml file without problems and transform that any way you
like ver easily. But when you want to store/save that new xml file
somewhere where others can access it, you need some sort of server side
script, which will do the actual saving for you.

Re: [Flashcoders] is flash still alive?

[Nick Gerig]

Flash contracting in London is booming at the moment, has been for that 
last year and a bit. If you are good and know Flash insideout, code AS1 
and 2, then you'll have no problems.



Cheers

This may sound a stupid question.

But I've been away from flash developing for one year. And I need to
know if there is still the same request of flash actionscript
programmers of last year of flash is becoming "obsolete", in favour of
Flex or simply in favour of "classical" html/serverside applications,
that are google friendly / accessible etc...

In next months I will leave italy to go in London searching for a job,
and I need to know if being a STRONG actionscript developer is still a
good reference.

Thanks in advance

Re: [Flashcoders] is flash still alive?

[sean]

It's strange that they would "think that Flash is for fast computers and
high bandwidth" as the Flash player's ubiquety is due in no small way to
the fact that it is very well optimised for speed and size to allow it to
run on most machines. Of course I have no idea what you're running it on
in the Philippines so maybe that's a factor
