[Flashcoders] Re: AS3 agnostic custom trace
Hi there, Sorry to bring this up again, I don't even know if this arrived with the list breakdown. Thanks!

I want to keep it agnostic because in the team different people use different tracing systems. Therefore a compiler flag comes really handy. Is this possible? What I've found is people hardcoding their custom trace systems.

[Flashcoders] Timeline instance problem
I have somewhat of a headache when it comes to instances of MovieClips that haven't appeared on the timeline, and hence have not been instanciated yet... I try to keep as much code as possible on one frame on the _root timeline, or preferably, in an external class file for a movie clip that contains all content (that I usually call main_mc and that resides on the _root level of the movie). My problem comes down to that much of the code is dealing with defining code for different events for movie clips in my movie. But a lot of these movie clips have not yet appeared on the timeline when the movie start, and when the constructor for main_mc is run. Please don't tell me to create the movie clips programatically. This is not possible, since my movies are heavy with graphics and animation, and I have to be able to place things on the stage. I have solved this problem with some hacks: like putting one instance on the stage, but outside the visible area. Or turning the visibility off with code, and then on when it should be visible. But all this is cumbersome and makes me think it is easier to put some code inside movie clips, than going to lengths trying to make this work. I am grateful for any help I can get regarding this!

a lot of these movie clips have not yet appeared on the timeline when the

run.
Don't use the constructor to get things done. Use the MovieClip.onLoad method.
class Application extends MovieClip {
function Application(){
// don't do anything here
// except for setting certain MovieClip properties, like:
tabEnabled = false;
tabChildren = true;
_focusrect = false;
}
function onLoad():Void {
// child assets on stage will be ready
}

Well, you can't do argument overloading in AS2 (nor AS3, I believe), so
you can't have pure polymorphism in Flash the way you can in other
languages like Java. Such is life.
Alternatively, you could write your own class for the argument that
could
be an array or an object and then cast it strictly as that class.
Well, it would work just as well to have
Class StrictArray extends Array {

Ought to work perfectly (although I'd be interested to see whether bracket
access still works). But yes, why bother? :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Coding a circular preloader
ok i got something better and faster.
I downloaded some methods from
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/adv_draw_methods.html.
in this library there is an .as file wich lets u draw wedges easily (
drawWedges.as) but infortunately it doesnt support easing yet..
I am trying to add an easeOut effect to it, and i tried this way
#include drawWedge.as
d_mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(drawing_layer,1);
angle=0
function wedge() {
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
newAngle = angle++
d_mc.clear();
d_mc.beginFill(0xFF0067, 100);
d_mc.drawWedge(200, 200, 90, newAngle, 100);
d_mc.endFill();
if(newAngle =100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
wedge();
this way the wedge grows until the angle reaches 100. how can I add a
simple easing equation to this?
I always used mcTween and for some loadbar preloader i used to ease the
loadbar by adding
loadBar._xscale +=percent - loadBar._xscale/3; /// this way the loadBar
tweens with an easeOut Effect..
I tried to apply the same principle to the wedge but without results..
Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] Prevent flash from caching the loaded assets
I think the caching is controlled by the browser, not Flash itself, so I don't believe there's a way within flash to prevent caching. Maybe you could do some trickery with the images that makes it harder for the person looking at the cached stuff to see it. Like, split up the main image into multiple ones and maybe apply some transformations to the images, and then have the flash movie undo the transformations and compose the images back into the main one? -Andy On 8/6/07, Niels Endlich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are making a game in which people have to quess what's on a photo while viewing it through a little moveable hole.

[Flashcoders] Fullscreen option for streaming flash video
I have been trying to add the fullscreen option to a video player I
created which plays streaming flash video.
Right now, from a php page, I am calling the appropriate video based on
the variable passed in the code embedding the flash movie in the html.
However, in trying to use the new skin in Flash 9 that has the
fullscreen toggle, I cannot seem to pass a variable to the flash swf
calling the video to stream from the html code.
I tried passing the variable streamName via FlashVars, however, the
swf is not identifying the variable, so the video will not play...
Here is the code I have in the swf right now:
import fl.video.*;
VideoPlayer.iNCManagerClass = fl.video.NCManagerNative;
videoName.text = streamName; //streamName is the variable passed from
the php page
//attachMovie(FLVPlayback, flvPlayer, 10, {width:320,
//height:240, x:0, y:0});
var flvPlayer:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
addChild(flvPlayer);
//copy the skin file to the local directory for this to work
flvPlayer.skin = ./SkinOverAllNoCaption.swf
flvPlayer.source =
rtmp://4255bksl45g.rtmphost.com/vids/+videoName.text+.flv;
What code can I use on the html or php page that will pass a variable to
the swf to play the correct video?
This code works fine if I hard code the video stream name for
flvPlayer.source, however, I need to dynamically populate that value.
Thanks for your help...

RE: [Flashcoders] Prevent flash from caching the loaded assets
If you're able to store the images in SWF format instead of something like JPG, you could set up your SWFs so that they're covered with a black rectangle MovieClip by default and then you flip the _visible property to false in your application when you load them in. That way, if people try to look at the SWF from the browser's cache, they'll just see a big black rectangle but within your app, the photo is visible. Just a thought.

Re: [Flashcoders] Coding a circular preloader
I jumped on this thread late, but it seems to me that the best/easiest way to accomplish that circular preloader like you saw on that photography site is with a 100 frame movieclip that contains a mask that goes from frame 1-100 revealing a circle underneath. It would probably take you all of 5 minutes to make.

Re: [Flashcoders] Coding a circular preloader
Easing? You're showing linear data. A visual representation of a number from 0-100. I'm not sure how easing fits into this. Your boss sounds like a real genius because it's absolutely brilliant to force somebody to spend many hours building something that could be built in 5 minutes - really smart use of time and money.

[Flashcoders] keyboard shortcuts and flash v2 components
Does anyone know of any tutorials etc discussing how to implement keyboard shortcuts with flash v2 components? I'm talking about things like ctrl-c for cut ctrl-v for paste etc. I have tried using an onEnter function that uses the Key object to check for combinations that interest me, but some of the v2 components will still see the keys if they have focus. They even mis-interpret things, like ignoring the ctrl key and just processing the v.

[Flashcoders] garbage collection and asychronous execution
Hi,
hmm okay this might seem like a basic question, but this has been bothering
me for a while:)
Imagine i have a class that prints boo 10 seconds after it has been
created, but returns immediately, so eg:
public function doTest() {
trace(here 1);
new BooTest();
trace(here 2);
}
doTest();
this will print:
here 1
here 2
boo
My question is how does the garbage collector works in this case?
Why isnt the BooTest object garbage collected before it executes since it
has long fallen out of scope?
I have no longer have any reference to the object, but still it is
executing.
My definition of BooTest:
class BooTest {
public function BooTest() {
setInterval (test, 1000);
}
public function test() {
trace (boo);
}
}
setInterval has a reference to the test function, but not to the object
itself.
Any ideas / pointers?
greetz

Re: [Flashcoders] oscillations
Hi, There are not really any right ways - just the fastest way to get stuff out... http://www.flashbrighton.org/wordpress/?p=9 http://www.flashbrighton.org/wordpress/?p=6 Can't find the drum machine article - they built one as part of a contest with Flash Coders NY - source code here - check out the ToneGenerator and the specific SawGenerator etc. http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/drummachine/PCMAudioLibrary/ Andre-Michelle has done some nice stuff, but not much source. http://lab.andre-michelle.com/ These are probably okay for simple one off sounds, but if you are building complex waveforms - e.g. adding lots of waves together at a certain frequency, you may be better off building a wavetable then reading sample values by interpolating - simple weighted addition of 2 samples indexed from an array. If you want some C++ code, then I can dig it out for you, but the PCMAudioLibrary looks adequate... You would have thought that FlashPlayer would have noise generators built in for sound - they have them for images which have an extra dimension, so are usually more processor intensive - c'mon Adobe, gimme some audio tools already.

RE: [Flashcoders] Coding a circular preloader
Uh, you could implement easing but I'm of the same opinion as Steve here
where it wouldn't make any sense to kill an ant with a sledgehammer. At any
rate, the easing would be based off a timer instead of frames. Pseudo code
AS2 using the Tween class would be:
var interval:Number = setInterval(this, 'showProgress', 100);
function showProgress():Void
{
new Tween(scope, 'property', Easetype, currentVal, newVal, 0.1,
true);
}
You could change the interval and have the Tween's seconds be either equal
to or less than the interval.

Easing? You're showing linear data. A visual representation of a
number from 0-100. I'm not sure how easing fits into this.
Your boss sounds like a real genius because it's absolutely brilliant to
force somebody to spend many hours building something that could be
built in 5 minutes - really smart use of time and money. He should
write a book on how to be successful in business.

Re: [Flashcoders] full-screen mode and FLVPlayback component conflict
A follow-up and workaround for this issue, for those who care.
The issue of FLV blacking out the screen when a projector runs in
full-screen mode seems to affect the Video class itself. I stand by
my original guess that this occurs because of a security issue. The
documentation for these security issues mention that they do not
affect Flash projectors, but apparently they do.
It's less than ideal to rework the FLVPlayback instances in my Flash
document into purely ActionScript invoked instances, the artist-types
on the team won't like that. So for now I use a brute force global
event listener to set the fullScreenTakeOver to false on any
FLVPlayback instances, something like this:
// In main class constructor:
primaryDisplayObject.stage.addEventListener(Event.ADDED,
displayObjectAdded, true);
// A little later in the main class:
// Listener when any display object is added to stage.
private static function displayObjectAdded(evt:Event):void {
if (evt.target is FLVPlayback) {
evt.target.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
}
}
To summarize, I see two major flaws with this version (2.0.0.37) of
the FLVPlayback component:
Flaw #1) In full-screen mode Flash projectors FLVPlayback instances
completely black out the stage.
Flaw #2) The FLVPlayback component inspector should include a
fullScreenTakeOver parameter.

Problem: I am creating a Flash stand alone projector that relies on
several FLVPlayback component instances to play some local file
system flv video. When I am in full-screen mode and try to display
a video (instructing a movie clip container to go to a particular
frame where the video resides), the screen turns black. Pressing
ESC exits full-screen mode, but displays no video. I then have to
go to a frame where the movie clip container does not exist, then
return, and video then appears. The problem is exhibited on both
Mac OS X and Windows.
Expected behavior: I want to run a full-screen mode projector that
displays flv assets non full-screen, in an appropriate aspect
ratio, with controls like the ones FLVPlayback offers. Help!
I achieve full-screen mode like this:
// _target_mc is the main timeline movieclip:
_target_mc.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
I attempt to turn off full-screen playback for FLVPlayback
instances using:
// vid is the FLVPlayback instance:
vid.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
I wouldn't be surprised if I am running up against a silly security
limitation. The documentation mentions that FLVPlayback will fail
silently if there is a security conflict, so I'm not sure I can
listen for any security events. Any suggestions exploring this are
appreciated.
I may end up dynamically creating and displaying FLVPlayback
instances instead of relying on the easier stage layout method.
Setting the fullScreenTakeOver property might have to be performed
before the instance is added to the display list.
Details:
Flash 9, AS 3 fla published as Projector
flash.system.Security.sandboxType is localTrusted
FLVPlayback.VERSION is 2.0.0.37

Re: [Flashcoders] garbage collection and asychronous execution

trace(here 2);
}
doTest();
this will print:

boo
My question is how does the garbage collector works in this case?
Why isnt the BooTest object garbage collected before it executes since it
has long fallen out of scope?
I have no longer have any reference to the object, but still it is
executing.
My definition of BooTest:
class BooTest {
public function BooTest() {
setInterval (test, 1000);
}
public function test() {
trace (boo);
}
}
setInterval has a reference to the test function, but not to the object

Any ideas / pointers?

[Flashcoders] Key repeating in AS3?
Has anyone noticed a change in key repeating rate (i.e. when the key is held down) between as3 and as2? I just transfered some game code over to as3 for controlling a ship. I.E. left arrow to turn left, right arrow to turn right. In as2 the key starts repeating really quick when held down. In as3 it reads the key once, pauses for a bit and then finally repeats (and repeats at a much quicker rate than in as2). I need to get rid of that pause in between the initial keypress and the repeat so I have a smooth control like I had in as2. Anyone have any insight?
