Re: [Flashcoders] zinc 3.0 overhead
August! 2 Weeks ago i mailed the same to the guys from MDM. With some e-mail contact they came to a fix for that. They used to buffer offscreen and then put everything in screen. They changed it to the way Flash doess it aswell (directly to screen). This is build in the FULL pc version. up from the 3.0.2 build. So the trial is'indeed slow, but the new full version is verrryy fast.. about the same as a swf. :-D If you are using transparant exe's it's not worth wile for you though, that still works with the old buffer method. Hope this helps.

Despite claims of performance enhancements, I'm noticing a significant decrease in performance with an AS3 SWF running in Zinc 3.0 on windows compared with the Flash Player. Using the flex sample at http://www.bubblemark.com/ I found that the project ran about 50% slower on Zinc than in the flash player (25-28 FPS in Zinc and 47-50 FPS in the Standalone Flash Player 9). Kind of a disappointment for a product touting itself as a game development platform for Flash. Has anyone else been down this road? Note: I was testing with the trial version.

[Flashcoders] SetVariable, GetVariable - are there anymore?
Hi Coders, using SetVariable and GetVariable is somewhat funky with the use of javascript/flash-communication, sure there are other ways as well - fscommand and ExternalInterface... but are there moew methods than GetVariable and SetVariable?

Re: [Flashcoders] Custom DrawRectangle Question
It seems to me that that would work as a Sprite too - less memory
overheads (not by much, mind, but it'll help if there's a lot of them)
also, would you be better off making your class variables protected
or private? Those variables are being set by the constructor, anyway,
and if you use get() and set() methods on them you could add tweens
and variable checking (for instance) etc if they're changed once the

Re: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3
i've never used tweenlite but i have used tweener and one of the
things that blew me away was the ability to tween properties and
variables rather than just clips/sprites
example from current project:
[CODE]
// read/write percentage value relates directly to the slider
public function get percent():Number { return slider.percent; }
public function set percent( p:Number ):void { slider.percent = p; }
public function arrowPressed( e:MouseEvent ):void
{
var dir:int = (e.target.name == left_arrow) ? -1 : 1;
var total:Number = slider.percent + (dir * scrollSpeed);
Tweener.addTween(slider,{percent:total, time: .5,
transition:easeInOutQuad}); // Tweens set() method
}
[/CODE]
you may be able to do this with tweenlite, i don't know
On 25 Mar 2008, at 23:46, Jack Doyle wrote:
First let me say that Tweener is fantastic, and a lot of people
rely on it
for good reason. If quantity of features is your top priority, you
should
seriously consider using Tweener.
Let me briefly address a few of the TweenLite-related concerns
folks have
mentioned:
SPEED
-
TweenLite's speed advantage isn't only a factor when you're doing
hundreds
of simultaneous tweens - it can be important even with a single tween.
Imagine a button that initiates a tween when you rollover it, and
the user
rolls their mouse on/off/on/off quickly. Even a slight pause can
degrade the
experience. Speed is also critical for mobile devices that have slower
processors, less memory, etc.
FILE SIZE
-
File size can be a huge factor in certain scenarios, especially for
banner
ads. But for those who don't deal with strict file size
requirements, it's a
non-issue.
FEATURES
Bezier tweens - Coming soon (well, as soon as I can clear my over-
filled
plate) to TweenMax which is a class that extends TweenLite, adding
non-essential features. That way, the base class will remain very
lean
mean, but if you need the extra features and are willing to trade
off some
file size and performance, TweenMax will take care of you.
Rounding numbers - Possible now with TweenLite's onUpdate feature.
It does
require some extra steps, though. If it gets added to the base
class, every
tween takes a slight performance hit because of the added
conditional logic
required just to see whether or not each tween needs rounding. Calling
Math.round() on every frame is expensive in terms of performance too.
Transitions/easing - There aren't fewer transition options in
TweenLite. You
can use ANY function as long as it conforms to the standard ease
format that
all of Adobe's and Penner's do. Elastic, Strong, Back, etc. are all
available.
You may actually find that there are a few features that the TweenLite
family of classes (TweenLite, TweenFilterLite, and TweenMax) has that
Tweener is missing, but in general, I'd say Tweener is more feature-
packed.
It just comes a the price of file size and performance. That's not
to say
Tweener performs poorly, though - it depends on the scenario which
is why
this speed test might be helpful:
http://blog.greensock.com/tweening-speed-test/
So, again, this isn't a good/bad issue - they're just different
tools that
you can choose from to get the job done. TweenLite wasn't built to be
everything to everyone, and I'm pretty sure Tweener wasn't built to
be a
super-compact engine that's perfect for banner ads. I'd encourage
folks to
give 'em both a shot and see what feels best.

TweenLite doesn't have bezier curve support, can't store the duration
in the options object, doesn't support auto-rounding of pixels, and
has significantly fewer transition options. I think TweenLite is great
-- if I ever need to tween 1200 things at once, I'll certainly choose
it -- but these features in Tweener make it a better choice for many
of my projects.

[Flashcoders] How to determine value of source code
Hello, a client of mine has requested to buy the source code of a project I did for them. I havent really sold any source code yet, so I was wondering if somebody maybe could give me some tips, because I really dont know how to value source code? I was thinking in the line of a percentage of the total project cost, something like 45%?? Thank you, ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] How to determine value of source code
Hi, I guess it depends on whether you are going to license it to them for their use only or if they are then going to sell it on. The other part is whether you selling it to them means that you cannot use it. At the end of the day, it's intellectual property you are selling, so if you would be upset that this client is reselling your source code and making money after paying a one off sum to you, or if you would be upset that you could not use your code again, I would look at pricing and having contracts accordingly. Of course, your client will probably say wtf!? when you point out these things to them as they will always assume that something you made for them is theirs to do with what they like. This probably doesn't help much, but it maybe a useful insight. At the end of the day, I would be pragmatic about it, but think about the risks and issues involved.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to determine value of source code
I'd be very careful how you proceed with this, but at the end of the day it's your own judgement. It also rather depends on how much of what you've written for the client is solely for that client - you will never reuse it - or if you're depending on code libraries you've previously developed and plan to continue on developing. With our projects, the price to develop the project is assuming our (extensive) code libraries already exist. So if a client asks for source code, I'll tend to quote them for the project development time + all the time to (re)develop all those libraries (and associated testing etc.). And I'll explain the reasons behind it. At that point they look at the numbers, look uncomfortable, and say 'okay, well, maybe we don't want the source code, then.' :-) Ian On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 11:55 AM, Jiri Heitlager [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, a client of mine has requested to buy the source code of a project I did for them.

Then I'll tell you TweenLite can tween anything. It can even tween Array
(of numbers).
The last time I checked Tweener did not have filter tweens, that's why I
picked TweenLite/TweenFilterLite. But things may have changed.
Jack has even fixed a little (albeit non-critical) buggish TweenLite
behaviour for me earlier this year in a few days. Big respect!

No. Classes add their size per SWF file, not per use. So yes, it's 8kb added to the file regardless of the number of uses.

[Flashcoders] How to expand import * statements?
Thanks, guys, I stuck on FlasDevelop 2.0 and just misssed the new version - FD 3.0. However, despite new version is a great product (love it) it seems do not have a batch mode to convert * imports for a set of classes or the whole project. But actually, I think it is not so important for me anymore, so don't bother :) Pasha ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

RE: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3
I don't get the big deal either about size.. I mean I really don't... except for ads maybe that have a tight 30k limit( which needs to be upped) You add 40k here for some media. 60k there for some code, you're up to 100k. If you have download requirements of 100k max in some client environments (like we do in some environments), 8k makes a difference.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3
It is not that much to figure out Dwayne, if you really care about filesizes - especially when doing banners - than choosing a lighter Tweening-engine might do the trick of keeping the filesize as low as it must be But you can use any tweening engine you like, as long as you agree with yourself that it is a tweening engine you want to use ;) /m 2008/3/26, Dwayne Neckles [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I don't get the big deal either about size..

The last time I checked Tweener did not have filter tweens, that's why I
picked TweenLite/TweenFilterLite. But things may have changed.

RE: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3
You're right, Dwayne, for a lot of non-banner work, 8k vs 3k really doesn't matter. It can, however, come into play in local memory as tweens are created. For example, if an instance of Tweener has 8k worth of code driving it (not that every instance would take 8k in memory - I'm just talking about the variables/properties/methods stored for each instance) and you create 300 instances, it's that much more that has to get pushed into memory and chewed on by the CPU verses 3k worth of code. Again, with today's desktop/laptop processors and Gigabytes of RAM, it's not much of an issue unless you're working with a LOT of tweens, but in some cases it's important, especially for mobile devices. Some developers prefer lightweight, efficient and speedy whereas some would rather trade for a broader feature set. I'd encourage you to compare the feature sets because if you need a Tweener-specific feature, your choice is a no-brainer. But many developers find everything they need and more in TweenLite, so they feel all warm fuzzy inside when they get the size and speed benefits too. When you're driving around town, there ain't much difference between a Hummer and a Porche. They both get you from point A to B. If you're gonna do some off-roading, better warm up the Hummer. If you need speed and agility, get your racing gloves on and hop into the Porsche. :-) Jack -Original Message- From: Dwayne Neckles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 10:29 AM To: Flash Coders List Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3 Gys I'm very clear that when doing banners the is the big concern about size..

For example, if an instance of Tweener has 8k worth of code driving it (not that every instance would take 8k in memory - I'm just talking about the variables/properties/methods stored for each instance) and you create 300 instances, it's that much more that has to get pushed into memory and chewed on by the CPU verses 3k worth of code.

Better change that to bike and skate... Anyway, I really think that most size optimizations should be made in your asset library, not in your code. So, you have a 80Kb filesize limit. Will 8Kb really make that much a difference? And if it does, well maybe your images could be encoded differently, or maybe you have a whole huge font embedded, which could be stripped down to a subset of characters that you really need. There's plenty of room to do size optimizations in your graphics, so you don't have to give up on code features. On the other hand, if a smaller code library fits you well enough, then just forget about all that ;) In the company I work, we use Tweener. Not actually by my own choice, but because the animation guys know how to use it well, so the tweens are already programmed when I touch the code. So much the better for me, will not complain ;) Still, I've never had any problems with filesize, not even on banners, which could only be solved by stripping some code out of it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3
A few years ago, I went to work at a company and a guy had written an AS2 variable height data grid component. It was over 2000 lines of code in 3-4 classes. It had bugs and it was slow to render. He had been working on it for over two months. I sat down and wrote a variable height data grid with the same exact functionality in 41 lines of AS1 in about 2 hours. No bugs, instant rendering. While the above example is a far cry from 3k vs 8k, the point I'm making is if the extra lines of code aren't benefiting you, why compile them? For most purposes, TweenLite gets the job done. If you're doing Papervision 3D and need bezier curves and such, Tweener is the obvious choice. Both are fantastic. I choose TweenLite most of the time purely for speed, size and efficiency. If I need something more robust, I use Tweener. They're the two obvious winners. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

It is basically a static class, so there's no extra memory allocation for tween added, except for a relatively small TweenListObj pushed into an array. Or maybe I am wrong and Zeh can correct me ;) Every engine will have additional memory spent for new instances - with Tweener, it's TweenListObj on the current version, which is basically an array containing references and data about timing and tweening parameters. But obviously there are many reasons why the byte size of the compiled class isn't duplicated for new instances. This would be the case even for instances of a non-static class or for a single class (Tweener code is split on few different classes). The very reason we have classes is to keep code centralized instead of duplicating similar methods for every new object. The SWF byte code is completely different from the 'code' in memory anyway too.

I've used Fuse a great deal in AS2, and both Tweenlite and Tweener in AS2/3. I tend to stick with tweener primarily for the beziers. I think adding even a hint of a curve when moving from A to B makes a movement look much more natural. I'm wondering, though, if anyone on the list has gotten into GO(ASAP) at all? I'm very curious about it, but I don't know how involved I want to get in rolling my own when there are already tweening engines out there that are usable. I've also seen no mention of Boostworthy.

This is the latest table: OLD_USADST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER, FIRST, SUNDAY, APRIL), NEW_USADST: new Dst(FIRST, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER, SECOND, SUNDAY, MARCH), EU_DST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER, LAST, SUNDAY, MARCH), CH_DST: new Dst(SECOND, SATURDAY, MARCH, SECOND, SATURDAY, OCTOBER), OCBR_DST: new Dst(SECOND, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY, FIRST, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER), NCBR_DST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY, FIRST, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER), MV_DST: new Dst(SECOND, SUNDAY, MARCH, FIRST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER), MA_DST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER, LAST, SUNDAY, MARCH), JD_DST: new Dst(LAST, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, LAST, THURSDAY, MARCH), ME_DST: new Dst(LAST, SATURDAY, OCTOBER, LAST, SUNDAY, MARCH), EG_DST: new Dst(LAST, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER, LAST, THURSDAY, APRIL), IS_DST: new Dst(THIRD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER, LAST, FRIDAY, MARCH), NA_DST: new Dst(FIRST, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER, FIRST, SUNDAY, APRIL), AR_DST: new Dst(FIRST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER, FIRST, SUNDAY, APRIL), IR_DST: new Dst(FOURTH, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER, FIRST, SUNDAY, MARCH), AU_DST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, MARCH, LAST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER), TA_DST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, MARCH, FIRST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER), NZ_DST: new Dst(THIRD, SUNDAY, MARCH, FIRST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER) There are a couple of countries that do not have a programatic DST but moves from year to year. Below is the XML I use to get the information I need: Attributes: n = name of the timezone b = time offset (in minutes) d = same, but in daylight f and l = used to identify first and last nodes. Any year before f will use the information in f for the calcs, any year after l will use the information in l. dst = the dst information from above. shh, ehh: Start hour and End hour where the change occurs (so, it is not always at 00:00). If a year does not has a DST information, it must has the information regarding the start and end date (sd = start day, sm = start month, ed = end day, em = end month). If no information is provided (nor DST nor Start/End dates), there are no DST for that specific year. Also, remember that countries/timezones that have DST may or may not apply the policy (example: Check GreenLand in the TimeZone control pannel in Windows, you have an option to adjust for DST or not).
