Re: [Flashcoders] MC xscale/width/yscale/height with MCL
Thank you to everyone on this. I guess I may have created a closure and
after separating my code into independent functions was able to get the
width/height changes. My onLoadInit was not tracing any target_mc out. Thank
you!

Re: [Flashcoders] Hi List!
Hi Andersson, It is possible by checking for the Html tags using the textField.onChanged event. Check through the tags with splitting up the "<" and ">" then when the text inside these contains any predefined tags .alert the user that these contains the html tag. Or you can check for the close tag too. When displaying you can check the text for the same scenario then i guess u can prevent these tags..

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help creating an old-skool arc or circularscrollbar
On 5/24/07, Carl Welch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Seems to me you guys are doing this the hard way. Why not just draw a curved line (with the line tool) then use code to attach/snap the handle to the line, and then just use actionscript to track the Y position of the handle and scroll accordingly? Trig for a simple scroller seems a little convoluted way of going about this simple thing...The end user will never know or appreciate the difference anyway. It depends on your perspective, mainly to what you're used to. Even with your description, it would take me significantly longer to do it your way -- that is, if I used the Flash authoring tool in the first place, which I don't have/want/need. So, coding it isn't the hard way, for me and many others, at least. That it involves trigonometry (in my example only for setting an angle and using Math.atan2()) doesn't automatically make it difficult for everybody. I don't consider myself to be good at trigonometry, but some basic things I know, and I have had many, many occasions where knowing that x = Math.cos( angle ) and y = -Math.sin( angle ) was useful. Also, by coding it, I could make it a reusable class -- just pass the radius and the handle (or the radius and the container along with a linkage name). What if the radius would depend on the stage size? What if the handle would have to be rotated (say, the hand of a clock). With a script, you gain flexibility.

[Flashcoders] class member Array
Has anyone encountered this before...
If you have a class variable that is of type Array...
DO NOT DO THIS:
private var ListOfThings:Array = new Array();
DO THIS:
private var ListOfThings:Array;
//then in your constructor, do this
ListOfThings = new Array();
If you do the former, Flash will create an Array that is SHARED
between all instances of the class!!! (i.e., it makes it STATIC)
I did the former:
//this is in the class declaration section
class Foo
{
private var _pressed_event_message:Array = new Array();
//other stuff omitted
function setPressedEventMessage ( m:String, p:Object ) {
_pressed_event_message.push( { msg:m, param:p} );
trace("this._pressed_event_message.length: " +
_pressed_event_message.length);
}
}
class FooExtender extends Foo {
}
When I create two FooExtender instances...and call the
setPressedEventMessage() function, the trace increments as if there
these both instances share the same array!!!
var a=new FooExtender();
var b=new FooExtender();
a.setPressedEventMessage( "blah" ); //traces
"this._pressed_event_message.length: 1"
b.setPressedEventMessage( "blah" ); //traces
"this._pressed_event_message.length: 2"
a.setPressedEventMessage( "blah" ); //traces
"this._pressed_event_message.length: 3"
a.setPressedEventMessage( "blah" ); //traces
"this._pressed_event_message.length: 4"
b.setPressedEventMessage( "blah" ); //traces
"this._pressed_event_message.length: 5"
b.setPressedEventMessage( "blah" ); //traces
"this._pressed_event_message.length: 6"
When I took the initialization out of the variable declaration
section and just did this...
class Foo
{
private var _pressed_event_message:Array;
function Foo () {
_pressed_event_message = new Array();
}
}
All behaved as expected...
Was I not doing something correctly?

Actually, that clearly explains why my attempted busy waiting was preventing the onLoad callback from completing, which didn't really make sense to me at first.

Flash is single threaded..
It sounds like you simply want to call another function when the
LoadVars.onLoad event is called.
Or maybe you want to perform an onEnterFrame while the data is getting loaded..
And nested functions are a no-no..
Just google "actionscript nested functions" and "actionscript activation object"
Also look into the Delegate proxy util class.
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var _lv:LoadVars;
function loadvarsLoadHandler(success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
rv_obj.status = _lv.status;
// stop enterframe
this.onEnterFrame = undefined;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
// call some other method here??
}
}
function enterFrameHandler() {
// do something here? check for timeout?
}
function getLessonStatus(userid, courseid) {
// loop while loading data
this.onEnterFrame = this.enterFrameHandler;
this._lv.userid = userid;
this._lv.courseid = courseid;
this._lv.sendAndLoad(LESSON_STATUS_URL, this._lv);
}
this._lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
this._lv.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, this.loadvarsLoadHandler);
this.getLessonStatus(val1, val2);
Not sure if this is what you're after though..

Muzak

Happens all the time on this list. Sorry I did not see your post earlier. Tends to drive you crazy and makes you doubt your whole understanding of reality.

Re: [Flashcoders] Custom cursor leaves artifacts on the screen
Oh cool, I didn't know about that method. Yeah, that did it. Thank goodness there was a trivial solution to this problem :) But it's strange that these sorts of problems happen... I was sure flash would only update the screen during the next frame redraw step... it seems like moving stuff on a MouseEvent and not on an EnterFrame event would mess things up somehow and the player wouldn't know which dirty regions to repaint.

Re: [Flashcoders] splitting the list?
Yea, but the ads are unobtrusive and 90% of the time I don't even notice them. The other 10% are when I look at them just to see what kind of random things are being displayed (I've seen some very strange ads come up and I try to figure out what could have triggered them. It's fun). Forums aren't nearly as convenient. As Ian mentioned, you have to choose to go to them on your own to see what's available. Mailing lists let you keep a central place to go for everything (your mail client of choice). I find mailing lists much more flexible and responsive, as I have full control over how I look at it and I don't have to go out of my way to see if anything has been added to the list. Also, mailing lists feel more like a 'standard' than forums, as they all use the same 'interface', instead of the widely varying software and interfaces for forums. -Andy On 5/24/07, Matthias Dittgen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Gmail is that good in searching your mails, that it pops up advertising related to the words within your (private) mails! Look at the right side! Yeah! Each of us, who is using Gmail for flashcoders is storing the same information - which is the definition of redundance, isn't it? So, don't get me wrong, I like Flashcoders Mailinglist, because it just works for me, but why do Forums or (Google) Groups not work as well?

[Flashcoders] LoadVars and (non)blocking behavior
Here is the problem: I want to write a function that makes an outside
communication with a web server and exhibits to the caller blocking bahavior.
That is, I call something like getUserStatus(userid), and it either returns
with the value I want from my database (ColfFusion page), or after some
reasonable amount of time, if I'm not able to communicate with that page, it
returns a special value indicating so.
As best as I can tell, what is happening behind the scenes for a LoadVars
object is it is essentially forking a new thread to handle this communication
asynchronously from what the thread that invoked LoadVars.sendAndLoad() is
doing.
ActionScript, being a programming language for non-programmers, makes no
mention whatsoever of threads, nor do I see any way to call a sleep function or
a yeild function on the current thread (i.e., some way to tell 'this' thread to
just chill for a sec and let other threads do what they need to do).
There is the setInterval() function, but again this appears to simply be
forking another thread to periodically call another callback - the code that is
calling setInterval() itself essentially returns immediately and then proceeds
to do whatever it is doing. But what I want to do next depends on the value I
am trying to read.
So, I figured, "Fine!" I'll just busy wait until my callback has done what it
needs to do. But the problem is that my busy waiting seems to be blocking my
callback from doing what it needs to do.
Below is my attempt at a blocking function. On the stage I simply have a bunch
of dynamic text fields that I set the values of to see what is going on.
Regardless of what I set the timeout value to, shortly after that that
result_lv.onLoad gets called, I get back a 200 HTTP status, and my expected
value is returned from ColdFusion. Unfortunately, my main thread has already
seen the timeout by then.
So... I'm not seeing how to get this to work right. This must be a common
problem people are handling some other way - can someone help me out?
// Wouldn't it be nice if Flash's editor were smart enough to auto-indent
// with spaces instead of tabs? Then this code would look right when I
// paste it.
function getLessonStatus(userid, courseid):Object
{
rv_obj = new Object(); // return value Object
// what to do after communication completes...
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
result_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
rv_obj.success = success;
loaded_at_ta.text = getTimer();
if (success) {
// append 'status' attribute as found in
tblStudentProfile
rv_obj.status = result_lv.status;
}
success_ta.text = rv_obj.success;
status_ta.text = rv_obj.status;
};
result_lv.onHTTPStatus = function(http_return_code:Number) {
http_status_ta.text = http_return_code;
};
// make HTTP request
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.userid = userid;
send_lv.courseid = courseid;
text0.text = "Talking to DB...";
text2.text = LESSON_STATUS_URL;
send_lv.sendAndLoad(LESSON_STATUS_URL, result_lv);
// I want this function to have blocking behavior, but the communication
// via LoadVars is inherently non-blocking (i.e., callback based). Wait
// until either TIMEOUT has expired or rv_obj has been updated.
var intervalId:Number;
var interval:Number = 100; // msec
var timeout = 2 * 1000; // msec
var start_time:Number = getTimer();
start_time_ta.text = start_time;
var now:Number = getTimer();
// busy wait
N = 0;
while ((rv_obj.success == undefined) && (now - start_time < timeout)) {
now = getTimer();
now_ta.text = now;
N_ta.text = N;
N++;
}
// OK, did we timeout or is the object updated?
if (now - start_time >= timeout) {
// TIMED OUT!!
rv_obj = new Object();
rv_obj.success = false;
rv_obj.timeout = true;
text3.text = "TIMED_OUT!";
}
else {
rv_obj.timeout = false;
}
return rv_obj;
} // function getLessonStatus(userid, courseid):Object
var obj:Object = getLessonStatus('some_user_id', 'some_course_id');

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help creating an old-skool arc or circularscrollbar
Seems to me you guys are doing this the hard way. Why not just draw a curved line (with the line tool) then use code to attach/snap the handle to the line, and then just use actionscript to track the Y position of the handle and scroll accordingly?

RE: [Flashcoders] textArea doesn't scroll far enough
I've run into this issue before as well. My (hackish) work-around was to create an empty MovieClip right after the text, set its alpha to 0, set its height to like, 50 or some arbitrary number to force the scrollbars to scroll beyond the text. Very hackish and not the best solution, but I had to get it working right then and there so -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allandt Bik-Elliott (Receptacle) Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 12:30 PM To: flashcoders Subject: [Flashcoders] textArea doesn't scroll far enough gah - not my day today i've got my textArea loading up a bunch of text from a string, from an array loaded from an xml file (erk), but the scrollbars for the component don't scroll far enough (either the bar or the arrows) - i've dragged down the text with my cursor and the extra lines are there. does anyone with any experience of using these components know of any reason this might happen? ___ 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] Cairngorm without remoting?
That's great, Muzak. It's right in line with what I thought needed to be done - import the remoting classes and use them only for what's necessary. It does seem like quite a lot of effort for something that should be pretty simple - since the built in XML loading already has events that could be used. cheers, jon On May 24, 2007, at 11:58 AM, Muzak wrote: I don't know if anything like this exists for Cairgorm, I do know that people have written extensions for ARP.

hi folks
i'm trying to get a function to remove a movieclip (actually a
textArea class object) but i've having a bit of trouble - i think it
may be a scope issue but i can't see why
the function is
function changeLayout(layout:Number, textContent:String,
image:String, textContent2:String):Void {
//don't remove other columns if 3 is passed to layout
if (layout != 3) {
//otherwise get variables
var layout:Number = layout;
var textContent:String = textContent;
var image:String = image;
var textContent2:String = textContent2;
//reset layout
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 3; i++) {
//use i to make column name
var this_i = i+1;
var thisColumn_mc:String =
"column"+this_i+"_mc";
var thisColumn_txt:String =
"column"+this_i+"_txt";
//these work with no problems
_root[thisColumn_txt]._visible = false;
_root[thisColumn_txt].text = "";
//however this doesn't seem to be working
removeMovieClip(_root[thisColumn_txt);
//trace reveals that the thisColumn_txt in the loop, once used, does
not disappear after the removeMovieClip --> thisColumn_txt:
[object Object]
trace("thisColumn_txt "+thisColumn_txt+":

[thisColumn_txt].toString());
//the rest works perfectly
var currentWidth = _root[thisColumn_mc]._width;
var thisTween:Object = new
Tween(_root[thisColumn_mc], "_width",
Strong.easeOut, currentWidth, 0, 1, true);
thisTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
if (i == 3) {
if (layout == 1) {
setupColumn(150, 1, 425,
textContent, image);
} else if (layout == 2) {
setupColumn(150, 1, 200,
textContent, image);
setupColumn(350, 2, 225,
textContent2);
}
}
};
}
} else {
setupColumn(575, 3, 180, textContent);
}
}
what's really strange is that other items using the same path to the
textArea, _root[thisColumn_txt], work flawlessly but removeMovieClip
does not.
I've tried removeMovieClip with textArea class objects in a previous
draft with no problems (although it didn't have the dynamically
generated name)
can anyone make sense of this?
thankyou

Re: [Flashcoders] removeMovieClip scoped incorrectly?

problem still stands
hi folks
i'm trying to get a function to remove a movieclip (actually a

[Flashcoders] Custom cursor leaves artifacts on the screen
Hello coders, I've been having a problem with custom cursors in AS3, where it sometimes leaves dirt on the screen, as if it hadn't been repainted on the region where the cursor just passed. It's also noticeable that the cursor's shape gets cut off while it moves, like some kind of tearing. The cursor is a simple MovieClip added to the stage, and the mouse cursor is hidden, though this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the problem itself. Has anyone come by a similar problem?

[Flashcoders] Cairngorm without remoting?
Has anyone here approached Cairngorm development without remoting services? I'm developing in Flash 8 still - no case to go to Flash 9 yet since the penetration is way less than the business requirements. I've got a prototype I'm putting together and am using Delegates that return stub data right now to my Commands. In the end, the data will be loaded from a .NET application in the form of XML, not using Remoting objects. What I'd like to know is if anyone has implemented other service types, and how, with Cairngorm in Flash (0.99 at the moment). The Responder framework is just not going to work, obviously, so I'd rather use XML calls that have their onResult and onFault events returned to the Delegate that is making the request. Also, if any of the cairngorm team is still listening on the Flashcoders list, is there a newer package available with the org.osflash project structure? I'm still using the nevis formatting. From what I gather the only change is to the package formatting ... nothing else. Any takers? thanks for any input. best, 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

Re: [Flashcoders] sendandload method fails inside a frameset.
hi glen,
I just found out that the problem is that 1) you r right, I should use the
object instead of the frame name. and 2) the line that attibutes the onLoad
method to a outside function wasn't working. Once I put together the onLoad
mehtod inside the same function that i was calling the sendandload it
worked. I guess it was a scope problem, but still, I already used loadvars
associating the onLoad to an outside function just like the first example
and it worked. anyway thanks for the valuable help and this is the final
code:
lvEmailSnd = new LoadVars();
lvEmailSnd.email = txtEmail.text;
lvEmailSnd.dataRecup = myDateStr;
lvEmailSnd.onLoad = _root.retornoBuscaEmail; <- wasn't working, changed
to:
lvEmailSnd.onLoad = function() {
code,

}
lvEmailSnd.sendAndLoad("usuarios/procuraemail.asp",lvEmailSnd,"POST");

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] sendandload method fails inside a frameset.
Hi,
With LoadVars.sendAndLoad() the second parameter is the name of an object
not a frame that will receive data, e.g.
mSendVars = new LoadVars();
mLoadVars = new LoadVars();
mSendVars.sendAndLoad(mPostURL, mLoadVars, "POST");
The onload event should be fired for the target, so.
mLoadVars.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
trace(stMail);
};
You don't have to use 2 LoadVars objects, you can use them both to send
and receive data if you like:
mLoadVars.sendAndLoad(mPostURL, mLoadVars, "POST");
Hope this helps...

hi all,
I'm having some problems using sendandload method within a html frame.
I have an asp page that is a frameset with 2 rows, header and content.
the content frame name is "principal".
Took me some time to discover first of all that I need pass the frame
name in the sendandload method, as a return object otherwise the values
*are not* received correctly by the asp page (at least I wasn't able to
do it).
In the principal frame, I have a swf that calls a asp page that do some
DB check and return a variable/value to flash( eg: stMail=0) . Testing
with *send* method it works and I can see the result displayed inside the
frame by the asp response.write. But when I try to use sendAndLoad looks
like that it doesn't execute the onLoad method.
I believe that this is due to the fact that I specify the *frame name* in
the LoadVars return object,but if i don't the asp page will not receive
the values from flash and continue the processing in the asp page. I also
tried specify a function for the onLoad without success.
How the object knows what it should execute when loads if in the object
parameter i specify the frame name?
my code:
lvEmailSnd = new LoadVars();
lvEmailSnd.email = txtEmail.text;
lvEmailSnd.dataRecup = myDateStr;
lvEmailSnd.onLoad = _root.retornoBuscaEmail;
lvEmailSnd.sendAndLoad("usuarios/procuraemail.asp","principal","POST");
here dosen't work
// lvEmailSnd.send("usuarios/procuraemail.asp","principal","POST");
// here works
and my onload function (never ever called back) :
function retornoBuscaEmail(success){
mytext.text = success
}
any help will be *very* welcome.
thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] splitting the list?
works for me, but why do Forums or (Google) Groups not work as well? Because you have to remember to log in.

Re: [Flashcoders] upgrading AMFPHP code
First of all, make sure you have the AS2 Remoting components for Flash 8
installed:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashremoting/downloads/components/
Once installed, you should have a look at the docs that come with it.
When creating a Service instance, you can pass a 4th parameter, which is the
reponder and will handle Result and Fault events
There's no onStatus event with the AS2 version, it's now called onFault.
You should look into the Responder and RelayResponder classes.
Just have a look at the docs, there's plenty of examples there.

Dear all,
dear al,
with as2 remoting you must / can / may :) use the Responder Object.
All you need to do is to pass the Responder as the second parameter
for your Service constructor
like so :
// responder class
class MyResponderSubclass extends mx.remoting.Responder { // please
check the package , i am not really sure but the class name is correct
public function MyResponderSubclass() {}
public function onResult() { }
public function onStatus() { }
// private methods .
}
this.service = new Service(this.gatewayUrl, new
MyResponderSubclass() , "myservice");
or
var responder:Object = new Object();
responder.onResult = function() { ... code here ... } ;
responder.onStatus = function() { ... code here } ;
this.service = new Service(this.gatewayUrl, responder , "myservice");
By the way, its kinda best practice to NOT attach event handlers and
other 'utililty Objects' directly to root.
Better refactor them out to Helper classes or even better write a
NetConnection Subclass and a NetConnection Responder subclass
and handle all events in there. O'Reilly's Essential Flash
Remoting is a great place to learn all about remoting, which by the
way rocks
Hope I could help you. If anybody finds a flaw in the code, please
forgive and correct me. Its been quite a long night.
Live long and prosper :)

Hi to all,
i've tried to google to obtain a solution, but no way...
how can I catch STATUS events generated by the remoting connector?
with AS 1 remoting:
_root.conn = NetServices.createGatewayConnection(_root.globals.amfGateway);
_root.myService = _root.conn.getService("myservice", this);
_root.conn.onStatus = function(error) {
// code here
};
how should I do this within a class and with the actual AS2 syntax
this.service = new Service(this.gatewayUrl, null, "myservice");
i've find a PATCH to AS classes, but I think It's not a great
idea... maybe there is a smarter way
Thanks in advance
Alfonso Florio

Re: [Flashcoders] Coordinates and Stage align in Flexible UIs
Ahhh, of course. That makes sense to me now.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] How to capture swf to .avi?
Hi Chris, Having just tried a lot of different options for converting, in my opinion, export from Flash CS3 is by far the best quality and most stable option if you can live without the user-interaction. It catches all scripted/nested animations nicely, and you could easily fake basic interaction with some code. Everything else I tried either dropped frames or annoyed me in some way. If it's a one-off you can get the trial version from the Adobe site and use that for free which is significantly less than $100.

Note: I'm not talking about exporting from the .fla -- this .swf uses scripted tweens and other scripting, so I need to capture the entire animation sequence, including audio, from the .swf in either the browser or the standalone Flash player. Must be Windows-based. Prefer something under U.S. $100. I see some programs online but can't tell if they're professional quality.
