[Flashcoders] Little annoying AS editor question
This is a small and silly question, but: Is there any way to persuade the AS editor's automatic indent function not to turn something like this: myArray = [ [1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]] into: myArray = [1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]? And yes, I know everyone prefers to use an external editor, but sometimes it's less convenient (particularly when using the debugger) Danny ___ 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

Hi, i m looking forward to built a simple site on lines of youtube.com I have never used flash communication server extensively. the site will have audio and video streaming. which will be for most of the news item.

[Flashcoders] Problem with mx.filters
Hello Flashcoders,
in a recent project i made use of the blur filter on a container clip
that is used all over the project with differing content, but over the
project it sometimes blurs and sometimes won't with no obvious
regularity (i.e. the content of the container is varying while the
filter refuses to work). I traced my filter function if it is applied,
traced if it internally caches the container clip as Bitmap, which it
both does...
so for nowi switched the d*rn thing off and used something else instead.
Did someone else experienced similar or related problems with filters?
Any hint on where to look for solutions will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance and heres the filter sniplet:
//Filter einrichten
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
function filter_on() {
my_filter = new BlurFilter(4, 4, 2);
myFilters = content_mc.filters;
myFilters.push(my_filter);
_root.content_mc.filters = myFilters;
debug.text = content_mc.cacheAsBitmap:
+content_mc.cacheAsBitmap;
clearInterval(filterInt);
}
I call filter_on(); from some other function that triggers a menu (while
the menue is _visible, content_mc should be blurred...)
Cheers, Thomas

[Flashcoders] Init generic clip
Hello list,
I have made a very simpele MovieClip that functions as a generic button,
this is clip 'gen_btn_mc'.
For the designers it is important that I place the gen_btn_mc on stage
and not attach it at runtime. The gen_btn_mc clip itself has a few
functions on the 1st frame of its timeline, these are:
setLabel()
setSize()
setIcon()
Because the button is place on stage during authortime, it seems the
functions of the gen_btn_mc can only be called after one 'onEnterFrame'
because it seems the functions are 'undefined' otherwise.
EXAMPLE
clipInstance0 is set on stage timeline. Then on the stage timeline I
have to put this code.
onEnterFrame = function(){
clipInstance0.setLabel('hello world')
clipInstance0.setSize(200)
clipInstance0.setIcon(true)
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
This makes the clip flicker, and it is clearly being set, becuase of the
one onEnterFrame loop.
QUESTION
Is there a way I can overcome this init. problem WITHOUT attaching the
clip at runtime?
Many thanks.
Jiri

RE: [Flashcoders] Superscript Subscript in Dynamic Text Fields
If you only need numbers, an alternative is to use a Unicode font that has a full complement of superscript and subscript numbers, such as Lucida Sans Unicode or Arial Unicode. Under embedding options you either need to create a custom code page for the super/subscript characters, or simply embed the entire font. On the otherhand, if you need a full set of alphanumeric characters, Giles advise is the way to go. ...Rob -Original Message- From: JP [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 7:30 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Superscript Subscript in Dynamic Text Fields Ouch!

[Flashcoders] need to send on(rollOut) to button component
I have configured a group of button components so that only one can be selected at a time and so that each button becomes not enabled after it is selected. The problem is that since the button.enabled = false happens before the on(rollOut) event, later on when it is re-enabled it displays its overSkin state. If I could send it an on(rollOut) event then I think this problem would be resolved, but I don't know the correct syntax.

I'm using the component's default skins and font. I don't have a public webserver to throw a screenshot up on for you to see, but I can send you a screenshot offlist if you're OK with that.

RE: [Flashcoders] [OT] - Need a voice over artist in the UK
I've usually just googled for voice talent and had good results. Some people charge a LOT - sometimes you get what you pay for, sometimes not. Working with people remotely has never been a problem. I have found several people will just charge a minimal fee depending on the length of the script, or by the hour. Usually they can send me a completed MP3 file and I send them a check. I would spend time shopping around though and listening to their samples before committing. Quality and price vary a lot as are not always directly correlated. I have found the best results with people who have either television or radio experience. It also depends on what your content and audience is for the project.

[Flashcoders] Re: Find size of the bounding box of a particular frame of a loaded SWF
Sorry, this isn't true... Generally, _height and _width DO return the height of the _currentframe of the SWF. The problem is that the SWFs we're using are created by FlashPaper, which seems to mess things up a bit. If anyone has any experience working with SWFs created by FlashPaper, and could provide some advice about getting the size of each frame (ignoring the background), it'd be greatly appreciated.

RE: [Flashcoders] Find size of the bounding box of a particular frame of a loaded SWF
When you say frame - you need to think of that differently. A frame is not a physical object, but instead an instance of the stage being rendered in time (or something like that :) ) - check for the width and height of an object instance in that frame, like a background movieclip or something. Frames don't have heights and widths that I am aware of.

Re: [Flashcoders] Find size of the bounding box of a particular frame of a loaded SWF
Jason, Thanks for the clarification - that's an important point. I should have been more specific in my original post. Essentially, we have a number of SWFs created by FlashPaper. I'm loading those SWFs into a container movie clip. I then want to scale and center the container clip on the main stage. This requires that I know the width and height of the container. The problem is that the SWFs contain multiple frames, and the content in each frame varies in size. What I'd like to be able to do is this: container_mc.gotoAndStop(1); // this shows the first frame of the SWF var w = container_mc._width; var h = container_mc._height; // use w and h to scale and position container_mc When the user clicks Next: container_mc.gotoAndStop(2); // this shows the next frame of the SWF var w = container_mc._width; var h = container_mc._height; // use w and h to rescale and reposition container_mc The trouble is that container_mc._width container_mc._height always return the same value, even though the content on each frame LOOKS like it's a different size. It's as though FlashPaper adds a transparent background to each frame, which is why every frame returns the same size. Is this the case? If anyone with FlashPaper experience could shed some light, it'd be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has any comments on the following information, please let me know. I won't disclose my exact salary, but you can email me offlist if you're curious. My title is Application Developer, but I am the only person here (and always have been) that knows the difference between a boolean and a string. I am the only technical person and I often take on experienced IT-related roles such as web server configuration, shell scripting, server monitoring/management, etc (mostly Unix-based, some Windows 2000). I architect and build all backend solutions (PHP, mySQL, CF, RoR, J2EE) and desktop solutions (Cocoa, Java, Flash/mProjector). I have extensive knowledge of media streaming and FCS/FMS application development. I also architect all web-based applications and provide diagrams and documentation for them, after meeting with clients or upper management directly to translate business objectives into software tools. I then sit down and do ALL of the development work. I work with one designer but I do all UI/interactivity design. I also manage a small team of interactive designers and producers. My title does not reflect these duties, but it is difficult to communicate to my boss what I do. I am getting roughly what a junior Actionscript developer would make, and I'm fed up. There are also no stock options, no profit sharing, no retirement (401K), no vision nor dental. We get a very simple medical insurance plan. I am looking for advice on this matter. Do I expect too much if I demand at least $90K a year? How do I better inform management as to what I actually do on a daily basis?

RE: [Flashcoders] Find size of the bounding box of a particular frame of a loaded SWF
Yeah - you'd have to know what the content instance name is in each frame in Flashpaper and get the Width and Height on that. But frames themselves don't have width or height. I've never used Flashpaper other than messing with it so I don't know anything about specific specs on what it's timeline looks like.

You might be able to loop through (each frame as it's presented) the Flashpaper's timeline movie clip object and look for instances of MovieClip and then get the collective width max and height max - that way, you wouldn't have to know how the Flashpaper timeline is set up.

Re: [Flashcoders] Init generic clip

do you absolutely have to use an enterFrame function ?
you can write an init function like this :
function init

myMc.setLabel(myLabel);
myMc.setSize(mySize);
myMc.setIcon(hasIcon);
}
init(toto_mc);

Hello list,
I have made a very simpele MovieClip that functions as a generic
button,
this is clip 'gen_btn_mc'.
For the designers it is important that I place the gen_btn_mc on stage
and not attach it at runtime. The gen_btn_mc clip itself has a few
functions on the 1st frame of its timeline, these are:
setLabel()
setSize()
setIcon()
Because the button is place on stage during authortime, it seems the
functions of the gen_btn_mc can only be called after one
'onEnterFrame'
because it seems the functions are 'undefined' otherwise.
EXAMPLE
clipInstance0 is set on stage timeline. Then on the stage timeline I
have to put this code.
onEnterFrame = function(){
clipInstance0.setLabel('hello world')
clipInstance0.setSize(200)
clipInstance0.setIcon(true)
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
This makes the clip flicker, and it is clearly being set, becuase
of the
one onEnterFrame loop.
QUESTION
Is there a way I can overcome this init. problem WITHOUT attaching the
clip at runtime?
Many thanks.

Exactly, the cost of living here in SF is insane. A decent flat in the city will cost you a million flat. I'm in my 30s and still renting.

[Flashcoders] how to employ http status codes without using XML, loadVars, or MovieClipLoader classes
Greetings fellow coders - The current app I'm developing needs to track http GET requests from the flash player to the server side, but flash's built in http status code handling is limited. Most sever-side information the player grabs comes from ExternalInterface / JavaScript functions in the browser that lead to java bean objects. So I have no need for xml or loadVars. However, there are a lot of images and videos that pass in and out of the player, and I'd like to monitor these GET requests. Some of these things can be tracked using onLoadComplete's http status tracking abilities in MovieClipLoader, but I want something more generic, and am hoping there might be something out there that will simply track all http GET requests ... akin to mozilla's live http headers, but for flash. Hope this makes sense, and thanks for reading this. - Kelly ___ 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
[Flashcoders] Flash File Upload Issues
Hello everyone! I'm going crazy trying to figure out an issue we're having with flash file uploads. It works perfectly fine from every computer I've tried it from at the office and at home, but we keep having users report that it just hangs - never moving the file to the server. It has happened in both firefox and IE, though both work fine for me and my co-workers. This is running behind ssl and I believe several of these users are probably behind firewalls. Does anyone have any suggestions of settings they may have to change, or anything I could do code wise? Since I can't replicate the error I'm having a heck of a time debugging it. Thanks!

If it were a full Media Player in the sense of being platform and format agnostic, then Adobe would have something to shake a stick at. I'm not quite sure what the big deal is really supposed to be.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash File Upload Issues
this might be more an backend problem than a flash problem. depending on your server config, serverside language used to handle the upload and issues you mentioned (firewall, proxies and so on) it might be hard to trace. have you checked your log files (server, sideside scripting) for errors? even this is slightly offtopic you might add some logging to the script used to handle/ save the file object. hth: lars Am 18.04.2007 um 19:31 schrieb Beth Koehler: Hello everyone!

Re: [Flashcoders] Init generic clip
Thnks for the posts
Both suggested solutions don't work, altough the first one by Gilles
does work. But I want the button to be selfcontained, no external
initFunctions. Just a MovieClip onStage called btn and on the parent
timeline of btn something like
btn.setLabel('hello world')
The onLoad suggestion I dont get working.
btn.onLoad = function(){
this.setLabel('hello world')
}
this is actual the same as the onEnterFrame. It is not that I have a
problem with the onEnterFrame, I just dont understand how Flash VM
works. Basically I would like the enclosed script to be executed before
the frame of the timeline it is seen on is started. Is this possible.

Hello list,
I have made a very simpele MovieClip that functions as a generic button,
this is clip 'gen_btn_mc'.
For the designers it is important that I place the gen_btn_mc on stage
and not attach it at runtime. The gen_btn_mc clip itself has a few
functions on the 1st frame of its timeline, these are:
setLabel()
setSize()
setIcon()
Because the button is place on stage during authortime, it seems the
functions of the gen_btn_mc can only be called after one 'onEnterFrame'
because it seems the functions are 'undefined' otherwise.
EXAMPLE
clipInstance0 is set on stage timeline. Then on the stage timeline I
have to put this code.
onEnterFrame = function(){
clipInstance0.setLabel('hello world')
clipInstance0.setSize(200)
clipInstance0.setIcon(true)
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
This makes the clip flicker, and it is clearly being set, becuase of the
one onEnterFrame loop.
QUESTION
Is there a way I can overcome this init. problem WITHOUT attaching the
clip at runtime?
Many thanks.
Jiri

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Salary Questions
The main trouble I'm running into when trying to prove what I do here is that we have almost NO organization in our company and no clear path to any given team or individual. A good example is that anyone (salesperson, PR guy, creative director, client) can come to ANYONE in my department and request work. Then that person in my dept requests a project code from a person in Switzerland who has no contact with us whatsoever, and then that person is the 'owner' of the project and is responsible for seeing it through. If the graphic designer learns about a highly technical project from a client, he will technically own it, but I will of course run it. Since my boss does little to no due diligence into what the team is doing (he just expects everything to be done when it's supposed to be done) then he has no idea what is going on behind the scenes. He just sees that a project either gets done on time or it doesn't, and since I am the most technical, I am blamed for failures yet not rewarded for successes (the boss actually takes credit for successes after I sit down with him for hours and explain the architecture and selling points of any given system.) We have a serious management failure, lack of management all together, and so the people making the world go around will never be recognized for what we do. Until we leave. The only reason I'm here at this point is due to my significant investment in this company. It is dysfunctional from the top down, but there are some amazing ideas and some amazing people in this organization (global company). I've decided that I am going to follow through with the current project I'm driving, and if things do not change a great deal afterward, I will take another job and make things happen there. There is so much information that I could divulge in testament to the extreme dysfunctionality, but that would be neither wise nor effective use of my time. Hope this gives some insight into how much a corporate structure/lack of structure affects my/your compensation, confidence, earning ability, growth potential, etc. Cheers!

[Flashcoders] Finding the height and width of the VISIBLE area of a masked SWF
All, It looks like this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer. I'm creating a Flash app that loads several SWFs. Those SWFs contain use masks. I'd like to be able to find the VISIBLE height and width of those SWFs; however _width and _height return the size of ALL the masked content. In other words, if the SWF has a stage size of 400x300, and a mask of 400x300, but the total size of the SWF is 800x600 (e.g., b/c of off-stage content, or stuff that's not visible thru the mask), then _width returns 800, and _height returns 600. I can see why that's sometimes useful, but in this particular application, I need to know the VISIBLE size. For example, I'd like to be able to center the VISIBLE part of the SWF on the stage.

Re: [Flashcoders] Finding the height and width of the VISIBLE area of a masked SWF
Claus, That's a great suggestion - the best answers are often the overlooked, obvious ones. But I don't think so - in the original SWFs, the masks aren't movieclips - they're just fills. So, I don't know how you'd check their width or height. The key thing about the application is that I won't know anything about the SWFs that are being loaded. My app should simply load a swf into a container movieclip, then attempt to scale it to fit the stage, and center it. Ordinarily, I can just check the container._width and container._height to accomplish this. But I've tested a few SWFs that weren't working properly, and that's when I discovered that they were using masks, which throws off the _width and _height. I can't assume that the SWFs will use a movieclip as a mask. Thanks again for your advice.

Hope this gives some insight into how much a corporate structure/lack of structure affects my/your compensation, confidence, earning ability, growth potential, etc. Cheers! ___ 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 -- Jordan Snyder Applications Developer Image Action LLC http://www.imageaction.com ___ 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
[Flashcoders] Need help with error, PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I am gettint this error, and it just doesn't make sense to me
**Error**
\\sugarmomma\projects\couresFrameWork\04-04-2007\com\infusion\ui\DataUpdate.as:
Line 1: The class being compiled, 'com.infusion.ui.DataUpdate', does not
match the class that was imported, 'DataUpdate'.
class com.infusion.ui.DataUpdate {
here is my class:
class com.infusion.ui.DataUpdate {
//
public var _dataList:Array;
public var _data:XML;
public var _currSec:Number;
public var _isInit:Boolean;
//
public function DataUpdate(init:Boolean, dataList:Array,
secData:XML, sec:Number) {
trace(DataUpdate +init);
this._isInit = init;
this._dataList = dataList;
this._data = secData;
this._currSec = sec;
}
}
it is in the folder it is suppose to be, and I am only using it in one
place in my app.
I don't get what the error is telling me, where is the class being
imported? Like I said it is only being used in one place, and I went
over the code in that class a hundred times to see if I madee a spelling
mistake or something, but it is correct.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Russ

If it were a full Media Player in the sense of being platform and format agnostic, then Adobe would have something to shake a stick at. I'm not quite sure what the big deal is really supposed to be. Maybe there's more going on behind the scenes, but it looks to me like something a few advanced flex/flash developers could knock out in a couple weeks, or less. my 0.02. jon ___ 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 ___ 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] Adobe Media Player vs. the competition..??
I'd say it stands a decent chance of supporting a bunch of formats eventually. Remember this thing is built on Apollo, and you can build your Apollo app with HTML. Maybe Apollo won't support HTML pages with plugins (except for Flash) at launch, but it would be in their best interest to render webpages as they appear in your browser, which means bringing in Quicktime support and others. Just speculation though! ben thotskee wrote: @jon, thanks for the reply. i appreciate your feedback. what if adobe does offer support for other video formats though?
