[Flashcoders] dynamic image loading in mc
hello,
I'm looking for a solution witch can handle the following problem:
i need a mc witch will load several images and text dynamically from
a folder into the flash-file. (the number of images change
sometimes)
also 2 buttons should give the possibility to go from image 1 to
image however and back...
my xml file looks like this:
?xml version1.0?
Bilder
Bild name=Man on Mars - Lunatic Lander pic=bilder/bild1.jpg/Bild
Bild name=Pluto City pic=bilder/bild2.jpg /Bild
Bild name=Desert of Venus pic=bilder/bild3.jpg /Bild
Bild name=Working Mines on Planet Mars pic=bilder/bild4.jpg/Bild
Bild name=Movement of the Terraformer pic=bilder/bild5.jpg/Bild
Bild name=BOMAG pic=bilder/bild6.jpg/Bild
Bild name=BOMAG Giant V2 pic=bilder/bild7.jpg/Bild
/Bilder
in flash on my mc the AS looks like:
--snip!
mein_xml = new XML();
mein_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
mein_xml.load(test.xml);
mein_xml.onLoad = function(status) {
if (status this.loaded) {
anzahl = mein_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length;
geladen = true;
aktbild = 0;
ladeBild(aktBild);
}
};
function ladeBild(paktBild) {
status_mc._visible = 1;
bild = mein_xml.firstChild.childNodes[paktBild].attributes.pic;
bildname = mein_xml.firstChild.childNodes[paktBild].attributes.name;
loadMovie(bild, bild_mc);
titel_txt.text = bildname;
}
weiter_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (geladen aktbildanzahl-1) {
aktbild++;
ladeBild(aktBild);
}
};
zuruck_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (geladen aktbild0) {
aktbild--;
ladeBild(aktBild);
}
};
---snip!

Re: [Flashcoders] dynamic image loading in mc
hi Michael,
quick reply here, but you may want to consider assigning the XML data to
an Array instead of to variables. This way, you can call positions in
the array easily.
So instead of:
bild = mein_xml.firstChild.childNodes[paktBild].attributes.pic;
you would have:
pictureArray = new array
for i loop with max = XML.children.length
pictureArray[i] = mein_xml.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.pic;
position = 0;//position tracker
next/previous just calls 'position' of 'pictureArray[i]' array and loads
up. also saves reloading XML EVERY time you call an image [less load on
server/flash]
cheers,
seb.

[Flashcoders] XMLSocket connection in flash 8 /AS2.0
Calling all AS2.0 developers who have experience working with XMLSocket connections.. I've recently been seeing an odd behaviour in an app I've developed which has a continual connection to a socket server. The symptom I've been seeing is the connection becoming inactive, the onClose event does not get fired, it just stops receiving XML. My current workaround is to monitor idle time on this connection and reconnect if a ceiling is reached. The current thinking is that this is due to some network/firewall/environmental issue and investigation is time-consuming, though a bug with flash has not been ruled out. I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar and found the root cause of it? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] dynamic image loading in mc
You'll probably need some backend scripting like php or whatever your host

[Flashcoders] AS2: generating new instances dynamically?
Hello Flashcoders,
Sorry to bother you with another simple AS2 questions, I'm making good
progress but I am stumped with one simple thing.
I have one class/object that I want to use to generate copies [instances] of
another class.
The second class is an object in the library with an ID and an assosiated
*.as file [in the linkage panel].
The code is:
=
//PostModel.as
import com.blabla.PostView;
class com.blabla.PostModel {
public function createPost (__id) {
var newPost = new PostView (__id);
}
}
=
When I run this code, the class doesn't construct an instance...
What am I missing? If I need to call the Library Identifyer instead, how
would I do that?
I don't want to attach the PostView to the PostModel class, I just want to
create instances of them and attach them to _root [or some other MC in the
timeline].
Thanks!!
Seb.

Re: [Flashcoders] factory with varying numbers of params
There are two ways I can think of to do this. One would be to have
multiple factory functions, one for each type of object you want to
create. The other would be to create a simple class (FactoryParams or
something like that) which stores all the parameters. You pass that
as the parameter object, and you can have that parameter object be
strongly typed.
class FactoryParams {
public var firstParam:String;
public var secondParam:Number;
public var thirdParam:SomeComplexObject
}
By using a class instead of a generic object you can keep the type
information (and if you use getters/setters instead of public
variables then you can even do validation on the values if you want).

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: generating new instances dynamically?
If it is a movie clip you want to instantiate then you have to use:
_root.attachMovie(libraryID, instanceName, depth);
The class associated with it will construct and the onLoad event will
trigger if it is being listened to.
Ciao,
Rob.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: generating new instances dynamically?
I am not sure if you are showing all the code but in your code fragment,
newPost is a local variable that will be destroyed as soon as createPost
ends. A short and brutal life.
It needs to be a class property and you will want to have a getter to
access it.

Hello Flashcoders,
Sorry to bother you with another simple AS2 questions, I'm making good

I have one class/object that I want to use to generate copies

another class.
The second class is an object in the library with an ID and an assosiated
*.as file [in the linkage panel].
The code is:
=
//PostModel.as

class com.blabla.PostModel {
public function createPost (__id) {
var newPost = new PostView (__id);
}
}

When I run this code, the class doesn't construct an instance...
What am I missing? If I need to call the Library Identifyer instead, how
would I do that?
I don't want to attach the PostView to the PostModel class, I just
want to
create instances of them and attach them to _root [or some other MC in
the
timeline].
Thanks!!

Re: [Flashcoders] factory with varying numbers of params

Hi,
A have a Factory that needs to instanciate Objects with differing numbers of
parameters (1-4). Is there any way to deal with this situation and maintain
strong typing.
private function createItem(param_ob:Object, key:String):Void{
switch(key){
case item_1:
myItem = new Item_1(param_ob.width, param_ob.y);
break
case item2:
myItem = new Item_2(param_ob.height, param_ob.color);
break
etc...
}
}
(Why is the factory method private?)
One way is to split it into two functions:
public function static createFromWidthY(width:Number, y:Number):Item {
return new Item1(width, y);
}
public function static createFromHeightColor(height:Number, color:Number):Item {
return new Item2(height, color);
}
(Or call them createItem1 and createItem2 or whatever.)
Another way is to use classes for parameter types:
// Make an abstract class for parameters:
class myPackage.ItemParams extends Object {
private function ItemParams() {
super();
}
}
// Then make concrete subclasses for specific types of parameters:
class myPackage.WidthYParams extends ItemParams {
public function WidthYParams(width:Number, y:Number) {
super();
this.width = width;
this.y = y;
}
public function get width():Number {
return _width;

public function set width(value:Number):Void {

}
public function get y():Number {

public function set y(value:Number):Void {

_y = value;
}
}
private var _width:Number = 0;
private var _y:Number = 0;
}
class myPackage.HeightColorParams extends ItemParams {
public function HeightColorParams (height:Number, color:Number) {
super();
this.height= height;
this.color = color;
}
public function get color():Number {
return _color;
}
public function set color(value:Number):Void {
if (isFinite(value)) {
_color = Math.min(0xFF, Math.max(0, Math.floor(value)));
}
}
public function get height():Number {

}
public function set height(value:Number):Void {
if (isFinite(value)) {
_height = value;
}
}
private var _color:Number = 0;
private var _height:Number = 0;
}
// Then, in your factory method:
public static function createItem(params:ItemParams):Item {
if (!(params instanceof ItemParams)) {
throw new Error(Invalid argument in call to
MyFactory.createItem: + params);
}
if (params instanceof WidthYParams) {
return new Item1(WidthYParams(params).width, WidthYParams(params).y);
}
if (params instanceof HeightColorParams) {

[Flashcoders] drawing with mouse / pen

Has anyone of you done something similar before - we want the user to roughly draw around the object, not necessary join the ends of the lines.

Re: [Flashcoders] drawing with mouse / pen
The drawing part's easy. For closing off the circle, just do what Flash does for the endFill() method, just connect the last point in the polygon you're creating with the first. The for selecting the right answer, it's a point in polygon problem. Now that I think about it, create an empty movie clip, do a beginFill(0,0) in the new clip, follow the mouse to draw, on release, endFill(), then do a hitTest with the center point of each answer and the movieclip you just created. If there's two center points that hit your clip, kill it and make the user draw again. --- nik crosina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I am working on a project that would possibly require the user to select an answer from a quiz by circling it with the mouse.

[Flashcoders] printJob, orientation and rotation or scaling issues
Hi
I'm having problems correctly rotating a movieclip to accomodate
users printing in either portrait or landscape format.
There was a thread about this maybe 4 to 6 weeks ago and I'm unable
to locate it in the archives. If anyone recalls that, would they mind
pointing me to it?
The item to print is a landscape formatted movieClip and I'm wanting
to rotate and scale it so that users with print setup to portrait
will still print it OK.
Here's my code which works OK on some machines but not others.
MovieClip to print is postcardClip and it's normal size is much
smaller than page size...
var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var notCancelled:Boolean = myPrintJob.start();
if (notCancelled){
var startScaleX:Number = postcardClip._xscale;
var startScaleY:Number = postcardClip._yscale;
if (myPrintJob.orientation == portrait){ // NEED TO ROTATE
postcardClip._rotation = 270;
}
postcardClip._xscale = 180;
postcardClip._yscale = 180;
myPrintJob.addPage(postcardClip);
myPrintJob.send();
postcardClip._rotation = 0;
postcardClip._xscale = startScaleX;
postcardClip._yscale = startScaleY;
}
delete myPrintJob;
What's happening is that on some computer/printer combinations, a
triangular portion (half the image) is printing correctly with the
other triangular half printing as solid triangular block. I suspect
something wrong with the scaling part of my code.
Any help appreciated.
David

Nik, if it can save you any energy, be sure you show a proof of concept to your client/colleague before you get too hip-deep into this. We've tried to do similar things in the past with little success. The issue is not technical, it's more of a usability issue. If you provide a VISIBLE area in which to draw, the end result will be that you're defeating the purpose of drawing freehand. You might as well just click on the area you've dedicated. (Remember, these are usability opinions, and your mileage may very. The crucial thing is that, in what you've described, your opinion typically doesn't matter. It's the collective opinion of your users and how well they understand, and can complete, the task that matters.) If you want to draw anywhere, you can create an empty movie clip as a canvas that allows you to draw over everything and, as you said, do a stroke with no fill so you don't have to worry about closing the path, and it looks more natural like a marker on a whiteboard. You can just use lineTo and an interval if you want something simple, or smooth out the line using curveTo and an interval. You can then determine the geographical center of the circle and see if that coordinate matches up with a hitTest on the answer clip. You can't use hit test between circle and answer unless the answers are no where near each other. But, you can say: center of circle is at 100,100, and answerMC.hitTest(100,100,false) (No shape flag will be easier, I think.) The problem will be one of user satisfaction. How hard is it to draw a circle with the mouse? How accurately can they get it over the answer? How many times do they have to do it? For example, doing this for a five-question quiz is great. But for a 20 question quiz it is unbearably tedious. You want to just click the answer and move on. Anyway, I suggest that you spend a little time with testers to see how they react before committing.
