Hi,

   It looks pretty good - your layout is nice and clean and you have 
the grid thing going on too.


   I agree with the comments on the rollover - they are quite small / 
fiddly.  If you are on a 1280 sized layout, then don't be afraid to use 
the height - you may be able to use the extra space to make your colour 
buttons easier to hit.


   If you want some examples of tricks to make your selected colour 
more apparent then look at:
  
   O'neill's wetsuit custom build - 
http://www.oneill.com/mens-surf-wetsuit-builder.php - a bit tricky on 
1280 screen to read the text, but once you get to choosing the colours, 
you will see what I mean.


   Timberland's custom boot builder leads you step by step.  This has 
the advantage of leading the visitor and also sharing the interface 
space so you can have bigger controls...


   
http://www.timberland.com/product/index.jsp?showConfigurator=true&productId=2052969 



   Puma's Mongolian Shoe BBQ has 2 ways - a creative, but frustrating 
interface, or the simpler "Take Out" version again, it's okay from a 
creative perspective, but fiddly to use - not good.


   https://www.puma.com/secure/mbbq/pindex.jsp?ip=GB it does become 
annoying when it ties up your browser though...


   There's loads out there, but the benefit of your's is that it is 
simple and straightforward - capitalise on that and take some of Jason's 
comments into account, but it's looking good so far, although you may 
need to work on the kevlar image - it looks a bit out of scale when 
applied :)

there is an issue you will definitely want to fix.  I would make

Re: [Flashcoders] Data merging problem

[EECOLOR]

I am not sure why you have duplicate items. I am assuming these items come
from a database, you can use the query to leave out double records. In most
other cases, the double is in there for a reason, which means you do not
want to delete them. In that case you would like the .filterFunction
property. The filterFunction property is used to make sure an item is not
displayed while it is in the collection, this is used as follows:

*arrayCollection.filterFunction = removeDuplicate;

function removeDuplicate(item:Object):Boolean
{
   /*
  Do you magic here. More then one option exists. You could create
fingerprint of your object here and
  store it in an object as a key, like this:

  var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
  ba.writeObject(item);

  var fingerprint:String = ba.toString();

  if (checkObject.hasOwnProperty(fingerprint))
  {
 keepItem = false;
  } else
  {
 checkObject[fingerprint] = true;
 keepItem = true;
  };

  The above method only works if you data does not contain an ID.
Another option (which might be faster
  in most cases, testing required) is to loop over the collection and
check if the items that contain the same
  data are infact the same objects. In this case I would not use a for
loop, but a while(i--) loop since these
  tend to be a bit faster and order does not matter in this case.
   */
};*

In order to apply the filter use the .refresh method of the array
collection.

[Flashcoders] problem with sound

[Laert Jansen]

Hello everyone!

I got a problem here. I´m working on a website
http://www.laertjansen.com/zecafreitas2/ 

You can see there´s a equalizer there but the sound isn´t playing. There are
two swfs. One named index.swf which calls another named main.swf

When I run the main.swf file, the sounds plays ok but when I run the
index.swf the sound does not play.

Does anyone here have any idea of what must be going on?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - Embeding Fonts

[Kenneth Kawamoto]

I don't think you can use Flex style meta tags in Flash - at least it 
has never worked for me.


But with Astro device fonts act like embedded fonts (anti-aliased etc) 
so that I will get away with not using embedded fonts too much - well I 
am hoping so but may be I'm wrong :)

Flash doesn't understand any meta tags.
There is no need to use this method in Flash as you can embed the font in the IDE. 
Granted it would be nice if Flash did understand the embed tag though.

Same as AS 2.0.
Either have the font in your library or create a TextField on the stage and embed the characters you want. 


Is this correct? is the only way to embed the font in the IDE??

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - Embeding Fonts

[EECOLOR]

I am not sure what you are talking about, but using Flex Builder 3 and an
ActionScript project, this code works fine:

*package
{
 import flash.display.Sprite;
 import flash.text.TextField;
 import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
 import flash.text.TextFormat;
 import fly.easing.Tween;
* *
 public class EmbedFontTest extends Sprite
 {
  [Embed(source="C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts\\ARIAL.TTF", fontFamily="Arial")]
**  **private var _arial_str:String;
**  **private var _arial_fmt:TextFormat;
**  **private var _text_txt:TextField;
**
**  **public function EmbedFontTest()
**  **{
**  **  **super();
**  **  **this.initEmbedFontTest();
**  **}
**
**  **private function initEmbedFontTest():void
**  **{
**  **  **this._arial_fmt = new TextFormat();
**  **  **this._arial_fmt.font = "Arial";
**  **  **this._arial_fmt.size = 40;
**
**  **  **this._text_txt = new TextField();
**  **  **this._text_txt.embedFonts = true;
**  **  **this._text_txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
**  **  **this._text_txt.defaultTextFormat = this._arial_fmt;
**  **  **this._text_txt.text = "Test Arial Format";
**
**  **  **this.addChild(this._text_txt);
**  **}
 }
}*

Ahh, I re-read the the last question, hehe:

>is the only way to embed the font in the IDE??

Yes, you can not use AS3 to embed fonts if you are compiling using Flash
CS3. I am not sure what the problem is though. If you are compiling with
Flash CS3 anyway you have a way to embed them. If you insist on embedding
fonts using ActionsScript, you might consider downloading the Flex 3 SDK or
Flex Builder 3. The Flex SDK contains a compiler that can compile
ActionScript projects. You could use this compiler to compile your fonts
into separate swf and load those in.

>Flash doesn't understand any meta tags.

This is correct, Flash CS3 does not understand the metadata tags.

The ActionScript compiler from the Flex SDK does understand them, but not
all of them are usefull, most important, the [RemoteClass] and [Bindable]
tags can not be used in an ActionScript project.

The Flex compiler does understand them and also uses all of the Adobe
provided ones.

RE: [Flashcoders] Bag Builder Feedback Please

[Merrill, Jason]

Looks good, I like the interactivity.  From a usability perspective,
there is an issue you will definitely want to fix.  I would make
clicking on a color "stick" better than you currently do so that a new
color does not get changed on the bag when you roll out of the area.
Otherwise, to change a color and make it stick, you have to carefully
roll your cursor straight up or down to get out of the color selection
area.   instead, make rolling over change colors inside a smaller
version of the bag, and when you click a color, make it stick on the
"final" larger view of the bag, or something like that.  Or do away with
the rollovers alltogether and only make the colors change on the bag
when you click on a color, then it would stick and you wouldn't have the
rollover change conflicts.  I know you have some kind of "click to make
it stick" functionality already, but it's getting erased by the
rollovers. I tried making a bag all red or all yellow and found it
difficult becauase the colors kept changing due to the rollovers.

Also, the black font's face and weight are a little bland, especially
against the grey.  Grey is good, but overall it's a little blah.  Not
too bad though.  I would also dump the standard "add to cart" Flash
button in favor of a nicer looking custom one with an icon.

Re: [Flashcoders] alpha not working on mc with textfield

[EECOLOR]

Make sure you have the TextField also set to the same size as the font you
embedded in the library. Also check if you maybe embedded the bold or italic
property, your TextField should mirror the settings of the font you used.

Re: [Flashcoders] The issue of "parent" in AS3

[EECOLOR]

I must disagree with this. Typing to Object will give you extra problems.
You will not get code hinting and are more likely to make typeo's. It also
is much more vulnerable to runtime errors.

As for the original message, I would encourage you not to call any
non-DisplayObject methods in the parent. This will tightly couple
the child to a specific parent, making it useless on other parents.

If you want to pass information to another object you can use the event
system and dispatch an event. Another options is to give the child a
property which is typed to an interface. This property should (in your case)
be set to reference the parent and will give you the ability to call that
specific method. On top of that, the child can be used with another
implementation of the logic you are trying to call.

RE: [Flashcoders] Best way...

To be clear, when you all are saying the "Flex debugger", you actually
mean the "Flexbuilder 3 debugger" right?  Since Flex is more of an
environment... and another component of the debugger is the Flash 9
player debug version for runtime errors.

It takes a while, but at least you can use it in Flash

YUP :)

An swc file is notthing more than a zip file. So when you rename it  
to

zip you can extract it, probably there is a library.swf in there.
This is what you do is this you load it in in Flash like this:

import flash.display.Loader;
//
var ClassFileForHoldingGooglesAPIClass:Class;
// Create these for everyclass you want to extract.
//
function loadAssets():void
{
var assetLoader:Loader = new Loader();
assetLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
assetLoaderComplete);
assetLoader.load(new URLRequest("library.swf"));
}

When the library.swf is done loading it calls the assetLoaderComplete
handler that handles the
request and utilizes the getDefinition() method to get the class
definition by a string.

function assetLoaderComplete(evt:Event):void
{
// remove your listener
evt.target.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, assetLoaderComplete);
var appDomain:ApplicationDomain = evt.target.applicationDomain;

ClassFileForHoldingGooglesAPIClass =
appDomain.getDefinition("com.google.maps.api.Whatever") as Class;
}

Now can create and instance of the MyOwnButton, simply by calling:

var myNewObject:Class = new ClassFileForHoldingGooglesAPIClass();

Or call functions on the  ClassFileForHoldingGooglesAPIClass.

Hope this is what you mean.

Cheers,

Sidney

RE: [Flashcoders] Can't embed Russian Fonts

[Steven Grosvenor]

You need to make sure that the font you have supports the Cyrillic
characters.

For example, if you swap out the font to say 'Arial', do the characters
appear?

If not, then you'll have to find a close match to the font you need, that
contains the Cyrillic characters

Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] Can't embed Russian Fonts

[Fredrik Jönsson]

Hi,
Make sure your font contains the characters you want to display. You  
can use your font management tool for this.
Or follow this link (if this is the copy of Serifa you are using)  
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/serifa/black/charmap.html

I have embeded all of the character sets that I can for my font

words display correctly (though I have to embed the fonts so they  
render correctly).


If someone could advise me what I'm doing wrong I would be really  
grateful. I have a tight deadline on this!

Re: [Flashcoders] The issue of "parent" in AS3

[Sy Iridium]

Hi,
don't know if my way is "cleaner" but it is certainly more general because
if you change the parent class you don't need to "find and replace" all
type-casting of the previous class with new class. My solution to this is to
type-cast the parent class to Object class. It is dynamic class so you can
use any methods you have added to your class without restrictions. Hope it
helps.

[Flashcoders] The issue of "parent" in AS3

[Johan Nyberg]

Anybody knows if it's bad practice to type-cast the parent-property to  
the class of the parent?


Since parent is a property of the DisplayObject class, you can only  
reference properties and methods of that class directly through the  
parent-property.


If you want to access other properties or methods, you have to type- 
cast parent to the specific class.


If you have some other "cleaner" ways of doing this it would be  
greatly appreciated!
