Re: [Flashcoders] Using JSFL with AS files

[Yehia Shouman]

I think you can load .as files as (text files) and parse baby parse !

I mean editing AS with JSFL. I'm getting frustrated with not being able to
do a search and replace on multiple files, so I was going to write a tool
to
do it with JSFL - unfortunately, it seems only to work with FLA files, not
AS.

[Flashcoders] timer question

[Gustavo Duenas]

Hi, I'm trying to launch an event using a timer so far the code for  
trace something is this:


var now = new Date();

var seconds:Number = now.getSeconds();

trace(seconds);

var newSeconds: Number = seconds+10;

if ( seconds == newSeconds){
trace("plus 10");
}

var seconds:Number = seconds;



the problem is that this ones doesn't trace" plus 10", instead just  
traces the var seconds.


Do you know what is wrong here?


Regards.

Re: [Flashcoders] Trouble getting _x position

[nelson ramirez]

Seems to work.
It returns an _x of 0 because that's where this line :
var loaderBox_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("loaderBox_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());

creates the clip.

The coordinates you're drawing on are relative to the loaderBox_mc but they
don't in fact change the position of loaderBox_mc
Hope that makes sense to you.

[Flashcoders] Video in Flash

[Daniel Hart]

Hi there - I use Sony Vegas, have a 16:9 HDD camcorder that imports mpeg2
video, and want the same results to run really smooth on a website. I
realise there are a few stages that need to be done right from origin. I
have edited a 2 minute sequence that will be my first step to getting it
right. The thing that really confuss me is the fact that it starts at (PAL)
720x576 - project properties are 16:9 which is just how I want the true
pixel output to be once it is run through the mill.

I need a little advice on rendering the original, then what to do with
Sorenson - so that I can show it at, say, 450x253 nicely within a website.

There are a few issues like ratio that are confusing me, and I would really
appreciate a little assistance. It may be best if you contact me off-list
because I will need a little step-by-step guidance I think. I have got the
main principles, its just a matter of figuring how exactly to do it. This
has taken me all week thus far...!

Thanks so much,

Daniel Hart (email on website)

RE: [Flashcoders] Using JSFL with AS files

[Steven Sacks | BLITZ]

You can read and write any text files, so you can certainly read and
write AS files.

Here is the full Flash 8 JSFL API PDF document which is IMPOSSIBLE to
find anymore on Adobe's site.

http://tinyurl.com/2qu83v

Of particular interest to you are:

Flfile Object

Flfilre.read(fileOrFolderURI);
Flfile.write(fileURI, textToWrite);

etc.

Hope this helps you.  JSFL rocks.  I've used it to create many handy
tools.

One thing that will save you some headaches if you make Panels out of
your JSFL tools is make sure you DOCK the panels in Flash.  For some
reason, certain JSFL actions that modify objects on the timeline are
broken if called from a free floating panel.  It's a bug and it's
probably known and I wouldn't expect a fix anytime soon.

Cheers!

Re: [Flashcoders] How to find dimensions of my own component, resized in auth. env.?

[Muzak]

You should look into the core classes to see what goes on behind the scenes:

mx.core.UIComponent
mx.core.UIObject

UIObject uses 2 private variables to keep track of width and height

 var __width:Number;
 var __height:Number;

In your size() method use those instead of the default _width and _height 
(movieclip) properties.

regards,
Muzak

[Flashcoders] Re: [flexcoders] Re: Caching problem

[slangeberg]

Hmm, i've had this experience on both Apache & IIS. I'm not talking about a
server cahce, I believe this is browser related. Upload SWF to server, and
do not see change in browser till cache is cleared. No one else experiences
this?

My current understanding is that since nothing about the page itself
changed, the browser (IE 6 & 7) is caching this resource. Am i wrong?

I've copied the original post, below.

-Scott

Hi there!

I have an xml file that needs to be loaded eventually using a
URLRequest. I'm trying to avoid loading a cached file using these
headers:

urlRequest.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("Cache-
Control", "no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate"));
urlRequest.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader
("Expires", "Fri, 30 Oct 1998 14:19:41 GMT"));
urlRequest.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader
("Pragma", "no-cache"));

It works ok in firefox and IE6.0.2900, but I still obtain a cached file
in IE6.0.3790+ and IE7.

Do I need to add any more headers? or what's the problem here?

Thanks in advance

[Flashcoders] MDM Zinc v2.5 Trial _ Writing files to hard drive

[Ned Perry]

Hi 
 
I need to make a Projector that writes files to the hard-drive. All the
content elements are going to be Flash and  I was hoping to use Zinc as
a wrapper that could handle the file system elements. But I can't find
any command to create a file. Does anyone know if there is one?
There seems to be loads of stuff to copy and move files etc but not to
make one.
If there isn't can anyone recommend an alternative to Zinc other than
Director.
 
Cheers
 
Ned

Re: [Flashcoders] QT in IE returning null value to flash

[Bob Wohl]

I got it to work, It was the way the embed tag was labeled and the way
IE was interpreting window vs. document. This little snipet helped
with beating back the monster IE is -

function thisMovie(movieName) {
setDisplayClosed()
   if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
   return window[movieName]
   }
   else {
   return document[movieName]
   }
}



ExternalInterface.call() seems to work fine, it appears that IE has
the most problem with locating the functions set from flash with
ExternalInterface.addCallBack(). Also wasted a little bit of time
debugging localy before I realized that it only will work when testing
from a server. I guess that's one of the hurdles in the learning
process when dealing with a foreign technology (to me at least)

=)


Thanks for the replies!

Does the object tag have the id "movie1" (not just the embed tag)?

Also, how are embedding the movie, I could be wrong but it think the stoopid
active-x activation thing causes problems - try using UFO or SWFObject to
embed the movie.

The other thing you could try is writing the JS function from inside flash -
For example,  I use this quite a lot to get the page url:

response = ExternalInterface.call( "function(){return
document.location.href;}" );

Hm.  I haven't used ExternalInterface at al (I'm stuck with Flash 7), so I'm
not really sure what the problem could be.  Though you might be able to do
it as a callback (have the javascript function call some function in your
Flash movie to give it the value).  The control flow for that would be a bit
odd, but it might work if you can't get it to return correctly.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding aninputtextfield

[Paul Steven]

Yes Muzak

This is the only code that refers to keys in the game itself

The only reference to keys in the game is this handler

// 
// check_key_status
// 

function check_key_status() {   

boolKeyUp = Key.isDown(38);
boolKeyDown = Key.isDown(40);
boolKeyLeft = Key.isDown(37);
boolKeyRight = Key.isDown(39);


}

This is called within a game loop function

i.e

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

check_key_status();

}

There are no other references to key input.

Does your game capture any keystrokes (like arrow keys or WASD for
movement)?

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: [flexcoders] Re: Caching problem

[slangeberg]

Much better approach!

Now, my question is, what do people do to prevent caching of swf files
themselves?

Here's the setup: I'm deploying a business app, and want all users to see
the update to the SWF. However, I don't want to tell everyone to clear their
cache. Should I just pass a version number to the swf request, to update to
that point, ie - point to:

$vers = "1.0.2";

$path = "/flash/myMovie.swf?vers=" . $vers;

...etc.

Is there a best practice for this kind of thing? I'm also curious how this
will apply to Module development in Flex. How do I make sure that people
have current modules, without blasting their cache, every time?

Thanks,

-Scott

Re: [Flashcoders] html vars and flash vars

[Andrew Kirkham]

Is this of use? (From Flash docs)

asfunction protocol
asfunction:function:Function, parameter:String

A special protocol for URLs in HTML text fields that allows an HREF link to 
call an ActionScript function. In HTML text fields, you can create links using 
the HTML A tag. The HREF attribute of the A tag contains a URL that uses a 
standard protocol such as HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP. The asfunction protocol is an 
additional protocol that is specific to Flash, which causes the link to invoke 
an ActionScript function.

(sorry I haven't quoted the original question, but I read it from the archive, 
so I wan't able to compose a direct reply)

Re: [Flashcoders] User Centred Design

[Mark Lapasa]

I personally found Task-Centered User Interface Design to be a valuable 
and good short read. The book is ancient but there is a reason why it is 
still used in graduate level courses today.

Good luck,

Subject: [Flashcoders] User Centred Design

Hello friends,

For my graduation on multmedia design over here in The Netherlands I'm 
doing research on User Centred Design.
I've been coding in actionscript for a few years now and the purpose 
of the research is to be able to create beautifull interfaces with 
high usability standards.


So far I believe that user centred design comes from several 
disciplines

like:

Cognitive Psychology, Anthropology, Human-Computer Interaction, Visual 
and Graphic Arts, Communication, User-Interface Theory, Linguistics, 
Human-Factors, Information Design, Instructional Design, Color Theory, 
Typography, and more.


It's a bit off topic but I know that you guys are the right persons to 
ask for advise.
And so I would like to ask if anybody has any suggestions for me. 
Maybe on books or articles or just in general.


Thanks in advanced

Love you all!

Really amazing game but i dont think there is hard programming behind it.
Maximum 2 developer can handle the coding. I think graphics and 3d's are
so
cool. It takes a lot of time to get these kind of qualified and optimized
renders. Its beautiful.

[Flashcoders] sandy on mac

[Gustavo Duenas]

is there somebody with flash sandy installed on mac with flash 8 ?
 I need to know how to point the path, because so far I have a lot  
of errors trying to run the simple box example (I'm using flash sandy  
1.1, I've used already the 1.2, without results so far).


someone  in the forum already told me that might be the path but using:

preferences, actionscript 2.0 settings and adding the path:

macintosh HD:applications:macromedia flash 8:sandy as path nothing  
happens, so if I missing something, please throw me a life saver, I'm  
drowning.

import MyPackage.*;
var hw:HelloWorld = new HelloWorld();
var mc:MyClass = new MyClass();

and in the same directory I have MyPackage.as

//MyPackage.as
package MyPackage
{

public class HelloWorld
{
public function HelloWorld()
{
trace("hello world constructor");
}
}

public class MyClass
{
public function MyClass()
{
trace("MyClass constructor");
}
}
}

In the windows Flash 9 Alpha IDE I try to run this and I get

**Error** Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1 : Line 2, Column 8 :  
[Compiler] Error #1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time  
constant: HelloWorld.

var hw:HelloWorld = new HelloWorld();
**Error** Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1 : Line 3, Column 8 :  
[Compiler] Error #1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time  
constant: MyClass.

var mc:MyClass = new MyClass();
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable  
Timeline0_f549bc2eccff3a4d88caed7024db465e is not defined.


This seems to me as if it should work. I don't know if it is the Flash IDE  
causing me grief, if there is some preference file I don't have set  
correctly or what.


Other than this issue I'm having a lot of fun with AS3 especially the new  
text features.


thanks,

Rob

I have a question back at you along this example.
any insights why yours can run as MyPackage.as?


Do you start out your package as:

package MyPackage
{
//class definitions
}

and then import like this:

import MyPackage.*

?

That should work.

After installing a new font, and restarting Flash, the font DOES NOT show up in 
the menu.

However, an any other ADobe app, the font DOES show up.
Right now it is an issue with Trade Gothic.

Anyone eles experience this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Compiling with self-reference

[Hans Wichman]

Hi,
you said:
restrictive not to be able to refer to a superclass within a subclass -
that's enforcing an arbitrary design principle.

But that's not what you are doing: you are referring to a subclass within a
superclass.

And with this "So it seems pretty reasonable to me that all my objects know
about all the other objects", although it might be reasonable, you are
increasing the complexity of your application. It easier when objects don't
know about each other, then when they know about each object.

In your example your superclass can no longer exist on its own. It MUST have
a subclass of a certain type. Believe me, that's weird, even for flash:)).

Your solution (adding another layer) spells coding horror to me. You tried
something to fool the compiler, and hey! it worked!.

Compare:
class Animal {
   private var isEatenBy:Animal;
}

class Cat extends Animal {
.
}

class Bird Extends Animal {
  function Bird() {
isEatenBy = new Cat();
}
}

with:
class Animal {
   private var isEatenBy:Cat;
}

class Cat extends Animal {
///WHOOPS problem here, since isEatenBy is of type Cat i cannot put a big
dog or car here
}

class Bird Extends Animal {
  function Bird() {
isEatenBy = new Cat();  //this still works ofcourse, since its the only case
that will work
}
}

Well, not really. I may use the words 'class' and 'object' interchangeably
on occasion, but I'm quite aware of the distinction. Classes have
properties, instances give those properties values, classes define the
kinds
of data those values can take.

I don't think my example is that odd, really. It seems unnecessarily
restrictive not to be able to refer to a superclass within a subclass -
that's enforcing an arbitrary design principle.

[Flashcoders] Re: attachMovie vs createClassObject

[Andy Herrman]

Just to amend my previous comment, in the case where I said
`createClassObject()` failed but `attachMovie()` didn't, that ended up
to be not quite true.  `createClassObject()` didn't do anything, but
`attachMovie()` created the visual portions of the clip, but it looks
like none of the component's code was actually loaded, so while it
appeared to be working it really wasn't.

But in the cases where one works the other seems to work as well, so
I'm still wondering what the difference is.

On 3/20/07, Andy Herrman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'm wondering if there are any significant differences between using
`attachMovie()` and `createClassObject()` for creating components (I'm
targeting for Flash 7).  I just ran into a weird issue creating a
ComboBox where I was using `createClassObject()` to instantiate it,
but saw that elsewhere in the code it was using `attachMovie()` to
create one, and both were working.

Specifically, both this:
mc.attachMovie("ComboBox", "myComboBox", mc.getNextHighestDepth());
and this:
mc.createClassObject(ComboBox, "myComboBox", mc.getNextHighestDepth());

seems to give the same results in most cases.  Is there any benefit to
using `createClassObject()` over `attachMovie()` for components?

The one situation I ran into where it gives different results is when
using multiple SWFs from different places.  I have a main movie which
loads another movie that contains all the UI resources (makes branding
easier).  The UI resources movie contains the ComboBox in its library.
 If both the movies are on the local filesystem then it works fine,
but if the resources SWF is on a remote web server the
`createClassObject()` call fails.  However, if I change it to use
`attachMovie()` it works fine.  So I'm leaning towards using
`attachMovie()`, just to make my life easier for testing (don't have
to upload the main movie every time I want to test it), but I'm
wondering if that will cause issues later.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT - Installing PHP, MySQL?

[Dave Mennenoh]

Thanks everyone. Both WAMP and XAMPP say they are for testing only, and 
should not be used for production - which is of course what I need. This 
will be on IIS, so hopefully it will be doable. I guess I'll attempt 
installing first and see how it goes.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an input textfield

[Paul Steven]

Thanks Ray

The game actually crashes now the first time it is played. I am still trying
to narrow down the problem. Game works fine as a standalone swf but when
loaded into the container movie, the game crashes if the user types into the
input field. In fact all it takes is to click on the input field and give it
focus.

The container movie has various shared movie assets such as buttons. If I
strip all the shared movie assets out of the container movie, the game does
not crash. However there are no scripts in these shared movie assets, they
are simply graphics.

It all seems bizarre!

Re: [Flashcoders] QT in IE returning null value to flash

Re: [Flashcoders] Help: test EventDispatcher speed please

[iiley]

Good analyzing!!!

Francis, i think you can change EventBroadcaster to use for(var i in array)
to make a new test demo, then, we can test again, if the new result views
that EventBroadcaster runs as slow as EventDispatcher on Mac, then, it will
be clear?  hmmm...


2007/3/22, Brian Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Someone already mentioned what it is - the for in loop vs the straight for
loop.

for (var i in array) ends up pushing all the keys of the array on the
stack,
and then popping those off.

for (var i =0; i< array.length; i++) doesn't.

The test attaches 500 listeners to each dispatcher, so when you use the
for
(var i in array), you're pushing quite a few items on the stack, and it's
possible that the mac flash player has slower stack access, or that that
particular opcode is significantly slower.

Note - the eventdispatcher code uses the for (var i in array) explicitly
so
that if a listener is removed from the array while dispatching an event
that
it still dispatches to all listeners.  Be careful if you try to just
change
the loop.

Also, why would you have 500 listeners to one broadcaster?  The vast
majority of the UI code that I've dealt with has 0-2 listeners.  The
difference between the two might be a lot smaller in that case.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT - Installing PHP & MySQL on a remote server

[Gustavo Duenas]

I did the installation of php and mysql in my computer(mac) using the  
terminal, but when I learned, I did it on linux, so it is not much  
different in both, but in windows I guess in php.org or mysql.org,  
there is the
.exe files to install the programs. In mac and linux wasn't much  
different in both the compiler tells you what is wrong and what you  
might need, I don't have any clues in windows systems, but go through  
their websites , they have a lot of tutorials there about how to  
install over multiple systems and in remote servers. First you'll  
need shell access (ssh) and root access, then you could  install it,  
using the files you previously have downloaded/uploaded.

Stage.scaleMode = "scale";

var bW:Number = 200;//Width of loader
var bH:Number = 8;//Height of loader
var bLC:Number = 0x77;//Colour of loader box
var bFC:Number = 0xFF;//Fill colour of loader box
var inC:Number = 0x4654FF;//Fill colour of indicator
var loaderBox_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("loaderBox_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
loaderBox_mc.beginFill(bFC, 100);
loaderBox_mc.lineStyle(1, bLC, 100);
loaderBox_mc.moveTo((Stage.width/2)-bW/2, (Stage.height/2)-bH/2);
loaderBox_mc.lineTo((Stage.width/2)+bW/2, (Stage.height/2)-bH/2);
loaderBox_mc.lineTo((Stage.width/2)+bW/2, (Stage.height/2)+bH/2);
loaderBox_mc.lineTo((Stage.width/2)-bW/2, (Stage.height/2)+bH/2);

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an input textfield

[Paul Steven]

Here is a link to the game so you can see the problem.

There is a text input field on the intro screen. If you type into it, the
game will crash, if you don't then it doesn't crash.

http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/Game_pizza.html

Hopefully someone can suggest a possible cause.

Thanks

Paul

Hi,

there's no code to work with here, but i would guess it's a
recursive/infinite loop problem.

Are there any handlers hooked up to that particular text field?

[Flashcoders] Tile a vector Graphic symbol across stage horizontally?

[Micky Hulse]

FP8: What would be the best way to tile a vector graphic symbol 
horizontally across the stage using AS?


I have used beginBitmapFill() for a bitmap, and that works well... but 
what would be the best way to programatically tile a graphic symbol?


Any tips/rtfm's/links would be great!

Thanks,

I mean editing AS with JSFL. I'm getting frustrated with not being able to
do a search and replace on multiple files, so I was going to write a tool to
do it with JSFL - unfortunately, it seems only to work with FLA files, not
AS.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash JavaScript Integration Kit Issues

[Muzak]

Are you running this in a browser from the desktop or in a browser from a 
(local) server?

If in a browser from the desktop, you need to set 'permissions'.

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/external_interface_print.html
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=4c093f20

You'll have to add the swf file or the directory it resides in to the trusted 
files in the "Global Security Settings Panel"
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html

These restrictions/settings do not apply when running the html+swf through a 
web server.

Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately after further investigation it
appears that communication from JavaScript -> Flash is working fine,
but making calls from Flash to JavaScript are getting lost. So the
Flash code runs, then attempts to do a callback into JavaScript and
nothing happens (no JavaScript error either).

I forgot to mention, it all works fine when the game flash movie is run on

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an input textfield

[Paul Steven]

Thanks for the reply

Yes it looks like is a recursive loop problem but I am not sure how to
detect what this loop is. 

There are no handlers hooked up to the text field. It is simply a text input
field and there is a button that when pressed, it sets a variable name
called "username" to the value of the text entered.

All it takes to make the game crash is to type one character into the text
field. If I do not type anything, the variable is set to "Player" as a
default and the game does not crash. But typing even just one character
causes the game to crash.

The only reference to keys in the game is this handler

// 
// check_key_status
// 

function check_key_status() {   

boolKeyUp = Key.isDown(38);
boolKeyDown = Key.isDown(40);
boolKeyLeft = Key.isDown(37);
boolKeyRight = Key.isDown(39);


}

This is called within a game loop function

i.e

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

check_key_status();

}

There are no other references to key input.

It seems very bizarre!!

be sure you are resetting the initial settings when the game restarts, if

Do you start out your package as:

and then import like this:

import MyPackage.*

?

That should work.

Yeah, I think it will still drill down and look for a class with the
same name if it doesn't find a package of the same name as the file. You
wouldn't want to name your files the same name as the class though...
the package file can contain multiple classes.

Re: [Flashcoders] scaling external jpgs or pngs

[Omar Fouad]

When u scale any Picture in flash from big to smaller, its edges get
jagged It does not depend on it's format such as JPEG or GIF or even
PNG You just will have to draw a bitmap data in a movieClip, from the
movieClip that Contains the Picture u need to scale... In This Way the
picture would show perfect...

See the Flash documentation, about BitmapData

[Flashcoders] https with sendAndLoadVars

Hello people,

I am trying to use https call with sendAndLoadVars from a stand alone
flash exe. http works but https doesn't

I have read :

HTTPS/HTTP restriction A SWF file that loads using nonsecure (non-HTTPS)
protocols cannot access content loaded using a secure (HTTPS) protocol,
even when both protocols are in exactly the same domain.


Is it posible to make https calls form the exe, and if so what do i have
to do to achive this.

Thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] QT in IE returning null value to flash

[Joe Wheeler]

Does the object tag have the id "movie1" (not just the embed tag)? 

Also, how are embedding the movie, I could be wrong but it think the stoopid
active-x activation thing causes problems - try using UFO or SWFObject to
embed the movie.

The other thing you could try is writing the JS function from inside flash -
For example,  I use this quite a lot to get the page url:

response = ExternalInterface.call( "function(){return
document.location.href;}" );

Hm.  I haven't used ExternalInterface at al (I'm stuck with Flash 7), so I'm
not really sure what the problem could be.  Though you might be able to do
it as a callback (have the javascript function call some function in your
Flash movie to give it the value).  The control flow for that would be a bit
odd, but it might work if you can't get it to return correctly.

Re: [Flashcoders] Enhancing the Flash Cursor

[Omar Fouad]

In this site, Mouse is set to hide = true, and replaced with an arrow that
change it's orientation from left to right and viceversa...
Most commonly this is set adding also an updateAfterEvent method.. This one,
should give you more performance as in will get less cpu activity, but not
sure, just try

Good Luck

Hi Jason,

I wrote a simple tutorial for AS3 (and Flex2) in FlashDevelop, doesn't

you're interested in flex it covers the basics of that too. Also explains my

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an inputtextfield

[Joe Wheeler]

That error is usually caused by an infinite loop. Are there any loops in the
game that get triggered by the user having a high score?

I am really struggling to get to the bottom of this bug and I have now spent
over 2 days desparately trying everything including recreating the entire
game in a new flash file in case anything was corrupt.

Basically the game crashes if I type into a text input field. If I do not
then it doesn't.

I cannot fathom what would be carried forward to the actual game from this
simple action. The text input field isn't even on screen anymore when the
game is in play.

Does the act of typing into a text input field change anything that could
affect my game? 

Really frustrating as I need to be able to allow the user to enter their
name.

Anyone

Thanks

Paul

Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash crashing dilemna - when adding an input
textfield

I have a really weird "bug" going on in a game I am making. Game is
developed in Flash 8 PC. (Published Flash 8 Actionscript 2)

My game was crashing the second time I played it so I have spent the last
day and a half tracking down the cause.

I have narrowed it down to a text input field. This is where the user enters
their name if they get a high score. If a user goes to this screen before
playing the game a second time, then a few seconds into playing the game the
second time, the game hangs with an error saying a script in this movie is
causing the flash player to run slow or something to that effect which
requires me to choose to stop this script. The game often hangs at this
stage and I have to force quit Flash.

If they do not get a high score they do not go to this frame of the flash
movie with the text input field and playing the game a second time does not
cause it to crash.

I have tried recreating this text input field, changing the font, changing
the instance name but still seems to cause the game to hang on playing it a
second time.

If anyone has any idea why this is happening or how I can determine what
script is causing the error, I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks

Paul

[Flashcoders] How to find dimensions of my own component, resized in auth. env.?

[Alexander Farber]

Hello,

I have a simple component, it is a multiline TextField with wordWrap
switched on and with a yellow rectangle drawn underneath:

  http://preferans.de/flash/ - the files Bubble.*

I'd like the users of my component to be able to resize its width in the
authoring environment, so that they can control where the word wrapping
will happen. However I can't figure out how to find out that width.

I tried printing it in init(), createChildren() and even draw() -
but it always shows the orig. values I've set for the bounding box:

private function createChildren():Void {
trace('width=' + this._width + ', ' + this._xscale);

// create a yellow rectangle with a shadow underneath
rect_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip('rect_mc', depth++);
rect_mc.filters = [ new DropShadowFilter(0, 90, 0x00,
0.30, 10, 10, 1, 1, false, false, false) ];

// create a multiline text field above the rectangle
field_txt = this.createTextField('field_txt', depth++,
__padding / 2, __padding / 2, 120, 20);
//field_txt.border = true;
field_txt.multiline = true;
field_txt.autoSize = true;
field_txt.wordWrap = true;
field_txt.text = __text;

size();
}

This prints: width=160, 100  ( <-- the scale is 100% even for resized Bubble ??)

Any suggestions are very welcome
Alex

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: File works in Flash 9 player but not in 8

It could be the amount of streams you're trying to open simultaneously. Try
queuing the loading so that you only load one at a time - the overall load
time should be about the same - something like this?

var strXmlPath:String =
"file1.xml,flie2.xml,file3.xml,file4.xml,file5.xml,file6.xml,file7.xml,file8
.xml,file9.xml,file10.xml";
var arrXmlPaths:Array;
var xml:XML; 

function parseXML(str:String):Void
{
arrXmlPaths = str.split(",");
loadNext();
}

function loadNext ( Void ) :Void
{
xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = xmlFileDoneLoading;
  xml.load( arrXmlPaths.shift() );
}

function xmlFileDoneLoading():Void
{
//have all the xml files loaded?
if ( arrXmlPaths.length )

// no
loadNext();
}

RE: [Flashcoders] OT - Installing PHP, MySQL?

[Claudio M. E. Bastos Iorio]

You should use xampp installer only for developing. Is not really secure in
production stage.

Re: [Flashcoders] Addressing functions in frame script from classscript

[Omar Fouad]

Yes u can i did it before... Just Import the classes below the functions u
wrote on the timeline...

On 3/17/07, Roman Hippler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


If your class extends MovieClip and you have attached it to a MovieClip
in the library, you should be able to call the functions on the timeline
just as if they where methods of your class.

You just have to make sure that
- your class is dynamic
- you invoke the functions with the "this" keyword
- the MovieClip is completely loaded and initialized before calling any
function

// on the timeline:
function doSomething(pString:String):Void
{
   trace(pString);
}

// your class:
dynamic class ExtendedMovieClip extends MovieClip
{
   public function ExtendedMovieClip()
   {
  super();
   }

   private function onLoad():Void
   {
  this.doSomething("hi there");
   }
}

Keep in mind that, because the class is dynamic, you won't get any
compiler errors when invoking a function that doesn't exists. You also
risk to overwrite class methods with timeline functions (the timeline is
initialized after the class is instantiated) ... but hey ... we're not
talking about whether it's *right* to do things that way, are we? ;-)
Rewriting your code would definitely be the better way to do it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Enhancing the Flash Cursor

[Pedro Taranto]

you can put an invisible button at each side of your photo, and use 
onRollOver and onRollOut to change the mouse cursor


--Pedro Taranto


Perdue, Blake escreveu:

I am building a photo slideshow and I want to add a next/back button to
the mouse cursor. If the mouse is on the right half of the screen, it
displays a right arrow (indicating that onclick, it will load the next
photo). When on the left half, it displays a left arrow (onclick loads
the previous photo).

My question is this: is there a better way to do this than using
onMouseMove and onMouseDown event handlers? My code is below. Adding
these event handlers is making my SWF eat up 20% more of the CPU
resources. Is there a less processor intensive method of achieving this?
A Group94 site seems to do a good job of this without hogging CPU

Re: [Flashcoders] scaling external jpgs or pngs

[Omar Fouad]

PS. All this only if you are scaling the pic on runtime... But if you have
the image and need to be resized manually before compiling, Create a
movieClip and assign it the bitmap "color" from the color swatches panel..
Or just Resize the image in Photoshop :)

When u scale any Picture in flash from big to smaller, its edges get

picture would show perfect...

See the Flash documentation, about BitmapData

RE: [Flashcoders] High CPU usage problems

[Joe Wheeler]

Triple check the intervals - they are notorious for causing problems.

It's always a good idea to clear intervals before you set them - that way if
they accidentally get set twice you'll know the first one will get
cleared...

clearInterval( myInt );
myInt = setInterval( myFunc, 1000 )

If you are doing a lot of createEmptyMovieClip() and attachMovie(), then
make sure that those movieclips are getting removed when you are done with
them.  If you are fading those clips away, but never removing them from the
stage with removeMovieClip() (*not* delete), CPU performance will surely
suffer as the number of invisible movieclips increases.

Also double-check to see if your intervals are actually getting cleared.  If
you are using intervals to do multiple tweens, make sure that they ALL get
cleared.  Also beware of intervals declared in loops because if you are not
careful, you can overwrite an interval with a new one.  This leaves the
previous one uncleared and unaccessible as well.

Maximum 2 developer can handle the coding. I think graphics and 3d's are so

[Flashcoders] Can not get data from actionscript db operation class?

nc.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/ins");
}


public function getSolutionData(sql:String):Boolean
{
responder=new Responder(getSolutionList,null);
nc.call

return true;
}


public function getSolutionList
(solution:Object):void{
var solutionList:Array = new Array();
for(var items:String in solution)
{
solutionList.push
({label:items,title:solution[items].title,owner:solution

[items].image,imgInstruction:solution[items].imgInstruction});
}
list = new ArrayCollection(solutionList);

}
}

datagrid.mxml:

...


My problem is I can get the data using DBOperation class,but I can not
assign it to solutionList by "solutionList=dbo.list;"

The debug information says dbo.list=null, however inside DBOperation
the "list" is full of data.

What's wrong with it??
