Re: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 UI Bug
fun. this happens with Flash 8 on OSX. At least for me. I do see these bugs. (OS X French(10.4.10), Flash 8 english) Moreover: I do have the *is currently loading, has not ended* and the *non returned query results* CRASHES since flash mx. (then MX 2004 Pro, then Flash 8, and I know that CS3 HAS THE SAME BUG!). How one can experience such BIG BG bugs without being discovered by the team ??? Software development is crap. Such happenings let me KNOW such important things. Don't loose humility when working with software :P Cedric More ... When opening panels (any) when collapsed to icons, they open but fail to show any content. I have to close and re-open the panels in hope that their content is rendered. Very annoying when I'm tight for time. The test movie often opens as a resized window to well below 100% (dimensions are within my screen resolution). ___ 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

[Flashcoders] AIR SWFLoader Question
I have a SWFLoader in Flex 3 that runs in a transparent application. I have the SWFLoader set to 100% height of the application window its in. I have a local SWF that I load in there, and I want it to resize the Flash to the height of the window. The SWF loads in fine, but the onResize() in the SWF isn't firing.

time of your swf may cause that to be off a little. if thats a problem,
you
could store it in a javascript Date object, and then grab the value when

I took that data from various sources. I'm using that for my own clock
too, and also have a function that, taking a position (first, second,
third, etc), a month and day can calculate the real date when a DST
occurs (for example, you feed first Friday of may or last Monday of
December and it returns the correct date for a specific year).
I have a list of DST/Timezones per location, but did not converted to AS
(I have some XML files). The problem is that the list is a big one,
because the list is compromised of:
a) Countries
b) Regions
c) States
d) Cities.
Usually, you can trim down the list a lot, since almost all cities in a
country have the same TZ/DST, but that's not the case for the US. In
fact,
you have some cities on the same state that have different TZ.
You can get the complete list from:
http://www.isi.edu/~pan/SWBP/time-zone-note/time-zone-note.html
The problem with that list is that the dates specified for the start/end
of DST is that are tied to a specific year and usually you need to wait
until someone updates that list... so I coded the following list that
has
all the info necessary to do the calcs:
private static const dstPolicies:Object = {
USADLS:new DstPolicy(1,0,4, -1,0,10),
EUDLS:new DstPolicy(-1,0,3, -1,0,10),
AU2003DLS:new DstPolicy(-1,0,10, -1,0,3),
AUTDLS:new DstPolicy(1,1,10, -1,0,3),
RUDLS:new DstPolicy(-1,0,3, -1,0,10),
EGDLS:new DstPolicy(-1,5,4, -1,4,9),
IRDLS:new DstPolicy(-1,6,3, -1,1,9),
IQDLS:new DstPolicy(255, 1,4, 255, 1,10),
ILDLS:new DstPolicy(-1,4,3, 1,4,10),
JODLS:new DstPolicy(-1,3,3, -1,4,10),
NADLS:new DstPolicy(1,0,9, 1,0,4),
PKDLS:new DstPolicy(1,6,4, 1,6,10),
SYDLS:new DstPolicy(255,30,3, 255,21,9),
CLDLS:new DstPolicy(2,0,10, 2,0,3),
CLEDLS:new DstPolicy(2,5,10, 2,6,3),
NZDLS:new DstPolicy(1,0,10, 3,0,3),
PYDLS:new DstPolicy(1,0,9, 1,0,4),
FKDLS:new DstPolicy(1,0,9, -1,0,4)
};
Where the first number is the position (1: first, -1:last, 255: straight
date), the second and the third are the day/month.
If the position is 255, the date is a straight day/month date, so for
example for IRAQ the start date is April 1.
The formulas for the calcs are:
/**
* @param y:int Year
* @param m:int Month (0 - 11)
* @param n:int Day of the week (0 for a Sunday, 1 for a
Monday, 2 for a
Tuesday, etc)
* @param w:int Occurence (1:first, 2:second, 3:third,
4:fourth, -1:last)
* @return real day of the month where the DST
starts/ends
*
* first friday = w:1, n:5
* third monday = w:3, n:1
* last monday = w:-1, n:1
*/
private static function calcStartEnd(y:int, m:int,
n:int,
w:int):int{
if (w 0){
var nd:Number = (new Date(y, m,
0)).getDate();
var diff:Number = (getDayOfWeek(y, m+1,
nd) - n) % 7;
if (diff 0) diff += 7;
return nd-diff;
}
var nq:int = 7 * w - 6 + (n - getDayOfWeek(y,
m+1,
1)) % 7;
if (nq 1) nq += 7;
return nq;
}
/**
* @param y:int Year
RE: [Flashcoders] Function call from a function
Its quite hard to figure out the problem without more code, but it
sounds like a scope issue.
Try assigning a reference to the class on the button:
//DOESN'T WORK
Class myClass
{
Function function1()
{
target_mc.closer_mc.onRelease = function()
removeMC();
};
}
Function removeMC()
{
}
}
//MIGHT WORK BETTER
Class myClass
{
Function function1()
{
target_mc.closer_mc.classRef = this;
target_mc.closer_mc.onRelease = function()
this.classRef.removeMC();
};
}
Function removeMC()
{
}
}
Haven't tested it so don't shoot me down if it doesn't work.
If it doesn't work then I recommend sending the whole class to the list,
or at least the relevant bits of code.

[Flashcoders] getURL issues with IE (was: tracking travelling)
First, thanks to Glen, who answered.
When this started, all I knew was that I had two getURL()s in quick
succession. Two weeks ago when I first tested this process it worked in both
FireFox and IE. Tuesday, when I had to deliver a finished product, it didn't
work in IE.
My original test was almost identical to Glen's code (below). As I say, it
worked fine.
Yesterday morning, after my boss asked what was wrong now and I told him, he
googled geturl issues in ie and turned up this:
http://www.rabidgadfly.com/?p=28
which explained everything and included this:
getURL(javascript:location.href='http://www.google.com';javascript:doSometh
ingElse(););
which saved the day.
Rabidgadfly also refers to a 'getURLqueue'
(http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/analytic_app_print.html) by Sean
Rooney. Since it appears to be a Flex routine, or at least relies on AS3,
and we don't have that here, I haven't even read the article (can't follow
the code). But for those who are there, it may well prove useful.

RE: [Flashcoders] Function call from a function
Within a class, you're losing scope because you are assigning the onRelease to an anonymous function - i.e. a function that has no name and only exists in the first function. So it's not going to have scope, and this not be able to see removeMC().

[Flashcoders] how to resize loaded external swf when stage resize
I have produced a bunch of swf files. Positions and dimensions of interface elements in these swf files is inside stage resize event listeners functions... alone they work really fine. Now I'm loading these swf files as external files in a 'hosting' file to make a sort of gallery of all my as3 attempts and works... Initially received some errors because they don't see the stage object anymore... it's simply 'null' also in flash debugger. I've commented out all the stage related calls and references just to make them appear without errors in the swf that loads them. Problem is that all of them react badly on being hosted inside another swf file... All the positioning and dimensioning code isn't there anymore because it's now commented out. I must obviously found a way to 'reactivate' the positioning and dimensioning code... all this considering that also the file that is loading them use dynamic positioning and resizing of his elements... I thought it was possible to change all the stage resize event references to something like root resize event references but all I've tried doesn't work... (there is no documentation around speaking of a resize event for root so it was just an 'act of desperation') ^_^ Is it possible that all my work is just gone like that... :-( Is there a way to get those stage listeners function to work again without rewriting them all in the new containing swf? (it'll be a nightmare, change all references, change all dimensioning and positioning code because they are inside another swf). The MovieClip that holds the external files inside the hosting file creates a bounding box with dimensions matching the original width and height dimensions of the external loaded swf file. This MovieClip is also dynamically resized if the hosting stage becomes not wide and tall enough to visualize the currently loaded swf entirely. So, the MovieClip hosting the loaded files it's acting in a manner similar to the original stage of the surrently loaded swf. ...this was done to manage the dynamic positioning of some loaded swf that have fixed dimensions. But (don't know) maybe someone could see this useful to help me in managing the elastic loaded swfs issue. Any suggestion??? Thanks giovanna changing the behaviour of the stage listeners in the big containing swf based on every single file loaded seems a little bit ugly... ___ Yahoo! Answers - Got a question?

[Flashcoders] Static without extending Movieclip (2.0)
When creating a static class that extends movieclip it loads into
another movie properly but if I do not extend the static class to
movieclip the movie remains. Does anyone has any idea why this
specific behavior happens?
Basically I have 10 movies and 9 of them were built the normal way
but this other movie was created with a static class. All movies are
loaded into a shell and when any of the 9 normal movies are loaded
into the shell they work properly but once the movie that was created
with the static class is loaded nothing else can be loaded after that
unless I extend the static class to a the movieclip.
-part of the static lass below
class classes.util.Class
{
private function Class ( ) {}
public static function create( mc:MovieClip ) : Void
{
mc.__proto__ = BannerGallery.prototype;
mc.init();
}
private function init()
{
bannerArray = _parent.bannerArray;
path= path1/path2/;

Function function1()

That's how I used to do it before I discovered Delegate. I wouldn't
recommend the method you outlined above, because the methods have to be
public in order for that to work. Use Delegate if this is AS2.

Re: [Flashcoders] Function call from a function
You're having scope issues. When the onRelease function is called its scope is the movie clip (closer_mc), not the class. Try this: At the top of your class' file: import mx.utils.Delegate; Then define the onRelease function this way: target_mc.closer_mc.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, removeMC); The Delegate will cause the removeMC function to be called with the class as scope (or whatever object you put as the first argument to create). -Andy On 9/7/07, Lee Marshall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have created a Class that has 2 functions within it Function 1 loads a movie clip Function 2 removes the movieclip I have a button setup in function 1 that reads like this: target_mc.closer_mc.onRelease = function() removeMC(); }; Of which contains a removeMovieClip(); Except it doesn't does anybody have any advice on calling functions from within a function?

Yup. You're still using anonymous functions:
swfListen.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
Those don't fly in AS2 classes very well. You can use them once, but
anything within them will have only the scope of the specific object
it's attached to, and nothing else. Sprinkling Delegate all over the
place should fix these issues.

You might be new, but at least you're declaring all your code in one place
instead of on the individual clips. So that's something.

RE: [Flashcoders] Static without extending Movieclip (2.0)
T. Michael Keesey wrote: I'm confused--why would you extend MovieClip for a static class? Or do you mean something other than a class that only has static fields and methods when you say static class? It is confusing, and I'll admit my post wasn’t real clear. static has a couple meanings in Flash. In the context of a class, static means the method or property belongs to the class, not the object derived from the class. Of course you know that, or you wouldn't be asking the question. The other context is static, as opposed to dynamic, libraries. Basically, with a dynamic library, you have the source code, and it's compiled along with your other source. With a static library, you only distribute the object code. You might want to do this with a robust library for internal use, or for a library you distribute for public use, but don't want to give out your source code (with the usual caveats that your source code is never really safe in Flash). A compile-time class library (a static library) in AS2, since MX 2004, is usually a component, and a V2 component is, by definition, a Movie Clip. In its definition it must extend MovieClip. That's just the architecture of components. For example: class com.services.myClass extends MovieClip The keyword static is conspicuously absent there. Perhaps that's the confusion. You don't declare the class static like you would a method or a property. Is that more clear?

[Flashcoders] Security Sandbox Violation
Can anyone help me with a Security Sandbox Violation that I can't seem to figure out? I'm testing using Flash Player 8 Debug version (IE7 ActiveX and Firefox 2.0.0.6 plugin). I'm trying to load a remote swf (http://xyz.a.server2.net/datadir/data.swf) from a web-hosted swf (http://www.server1.com/test/app.swf). Here's where I'm at: - I added System.security.allowDomain(xyz.a.server2.net) to app.swf. - I added System.security.allowDomain(www.server1.com) to data.swf. - I created a cross-domain policy file (crossdomain_1.xml) and uploaded it to http://www.server1.com (root dir) with this entry: allow-access-from domain=*.server2.net / - I created a cross-domain policy file (crossdomain_2.xml) and uploaded it to http://xyz.a.server2.net/datadir (I don't have access to the root of this server) with this entry: allow-access-from domain=www.server1.com / - I added System.security.loadPolicyFile(http://xyz.a.server2.net/datadir/crossdomain _2.xml) to app.swf. - I added System.security.loadPolicyFile(http://www.server1.com/crossdomain_1.xml;) to data.swf. - Then, in app.swf, I attempt to load data.swf using loadMovie(http://xyz.a.server2.net/datadir/data.swf;, target_mc) - I publish app.swf for Player 8, AS2, and upload it to http://www.server1.com/test. - I publish data.swf for Player 8, AS2, and upload it to http://xyz.a.server2.net/datadir. Here's what I get in flashlog.txt when I test it using IE7: *** Security Sandbox Violation *** SecurityDomain 'http://www.server1.com/test/' tried to access incompatible context 'http://xyz.a.server2.net/datadir/crossdomain_2.xml' Here's what I get when using Firefox: *** Security Sandbox Violation *** SecurityDomain 'http://www.server1.com/test/app.swf' tried to access incompatible context 'http://xyz.a.server2.net/datadir/crossdomain_2.xml' FWIW, in my testing, I found that if I publish data.swf for Player 5, the error goes away in IE 7, but not in Firefox. What am I missing? I would think this should be pretty simple, as my code is pretty basic (ie, data.swf doesn't do anything right now, other than System.security.allowDomain and System.security.loadPolicyFile).

[Flashcoders] #SharedObject not so shared
We are running into a baffelling behavior using SharedObject. We have a a few Desktop Flash applications: One is a main application, the other an update utility for the main app. They use a Flash Cookie to find each other, as the main app could be installed anywhere (USB, C). The apps are based in Director using the Flash8 Xtra. Say we start with a completely empty SharedObjects folder Running the main app sets a cookie into a folder like Flash Player\#SharedObjects\BFYLPV7P\localhost\02000.sol via a call like var so : SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal (02000, /); where / should see the root of the Flash Cookies. then say Pandora (or any other flash based website using cookies) runs it generates a new sandbox Flash Player\#SharedObjects\2S7GJDMQ\pandora.com and then all future read requests are against that new '2S7GJDMQ' folder instead of the BFYLPV7P folder, and then neither the app or the updater, can see the old shared local object folder anymore. Which in the case of it containing lots of persistent configuration data, is the equivalent of clearing the Browser cache and forgetting everything. Trying to understand how it's created, I can delete the contents of the shared Objects folder and then republish in the Flash IDE and get a new hash for the folder every time so it seems to be either random or time based. It's not as far as I can tell the behaviour documented, it's certainly not behaving as I would expect.
