Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Blurry TextField Issue
fonts are cached as bitmap when they get turned in 3d space, same as when applying filters, you can;t turn that off. One last thing to try is to tween with rounded values only, but I'm quite sure that wont make a difference, I think any font moved or turned in 3d space gets a bit 'blurry'.

Re: [Flashcoders] text line overflow
Hi, I've got an as2 implementation maybe you can convert it (and clean it:)): //nametextfield contains actual text. Check what is smaller the actual width of the textfield or a combo of the available width + margin+dotwidth //50 == margin, 20== correction, +5 == no clue old code;)) //so the actual width is the minimum of the textWidth and the given width this.nameTextField._width = Math.min (this.width-50-this.dotTextField._width, this.nameTextField.textWidth+20)+5; //position dots behind main textfield this.dotTextField._x = this.nameTextField._x+this.nameTextField._width-2; //determine visibility on whether text in nametextfield fits or not this.dotTextField._visible = (this.nameTextField.textWidth this.nameTextField._width); greetz JC On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 10:26 AM, Latcho [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How to break a line of text on the optimal charachter and adding ... if it doesn't fit a single lined textfield | I would like to break | this line of text. | I would like to br... | Any suggestions (AS3) Latcho ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] text line overflow
Just find out how many characters fit into your allocated textfield space
then count the characters coming in
You could put the string of text that you want in the textfield into an
array that is broken by each word like this..
//str being the string that u want to work with
_str_arr = str.split( );
Then character count each word till you reach the maximum your textfield
holds
//keeps track of how many characters
var char_cnt:int = 0;
//limit is how many characters your textfield can hold
var limit:int = 50;
//new string array
newString_arr = new Array();
for(var z:int = 0; z _str_arr.length; z++){
//want to keep count of each word and break when the char_cnt
//hits the limit
char_cnt += _str_arr[z].length;
//if the character count is equal or greater than the limit *
the num of lines, store that info
//and break out of the for loop
if(char_cnt = limit){
newString_arr = _str_arr[z]);
break;
}
}
Now u have a new array of words that fit into your textfield. Concat them
together into a new string and put it into the textfeld.
In your new array if the last word in the element doesn't include a period
then you need to add the ...
Hope this helps

Re: [Flashcoders] text line overflow
Hi Latcho,
I see you've gotten a couple response but I'll throw another one in to
the mix. The main functions that will interest you are:
1) getCharIndexAtPoint which locates the char at the edge of the
textfield
2) replaceSelectedText which is used to substitute in ...
This is some code ripped out of a class I use that extends TextField
and does a bunch of things for me, one of which is the truncation of
text. It is not complete but should give you an idea for approaching
this problem.
private var _htmlText:String = ; //holds the complete text for the
field even when truncation occurs
private var _tempText:TextField = new TextField();; //another
textField which is used to truncate the text and then place it into
this actual field
private var _gutterCompensation:Number = -5; // -5 compensates for the
gutter on either side of the text
private function checkDimensions(){
_htmlText = super.htmlText;
if(super.textWidth width - _gutterCompensation){
//use the temporary text holder to do the text shortening and replacing
_tempText.htmlText = _htmlText;
_tempText.defaultTextFormat = super.defaultTextFormat; //this ensures
that the ... are placed using the correct formatting
//find the character located at the edge of the text then count back
2 more characters and replace everything from there to the end with
...
_tempText.setSelection(super.getCharIndexAtPoint(width-
_gutterCompensation, 2)-2, super.text.length);
_tempText.replaceSelectedText(...);
super.htmlText = _tempText.htmlText;
}
Again is this an email/modified version so it is not complete just to
give you ideas. (I don't remember if I really needed to use
super.htmlText or could have gotten by with just this.htmlText)
Basically what I do is when the text field looses focus after editting
I run the checkDimensions function which does my truncation but also
stores the complete text. When the user brings the textfield back in
to focus I replace the truncated text with the complete text I have
stored.
hth,
Rob

[Flashcoders] AS statement this[testStudent + i] in JAVA ?
Apologies in advance if this is a bit off topic but are there any
ActionScripters who know Java on here?
I'm just starting out with Java and I'm stuck.
In Actionscript you can write a for loop and have something like this:
*
for (var i:int=0;i**myStudnts.length;i++){
this[testStudent** + i] = new Student();
}*
I'm having trouble expressing the left part of the statement --
*this[myStudent
+ i]* -- using Java.
Any suggestions?
Here's where I'm at with the Java code:
*private static Student testStudent1, testStudent2, testStudent3,
testStudent4, testStudent5;
private static String[][] myStudnts = {{...}, {...}, **{...}, **{...}**,
{...}**};
...
public static void main(String[] args){
**initStudents();
}
public static void initStudents(){
for(int i=0; imyStudnts.length; i++){
// NOT COMPILING SO FAR:
/
(Student)(testStudent+(i+1)) = new Student(myStudnts[i][0],
myStudnts[i][1],
myStudnts[i][2], myStudnts[i][3],
myStudnts[i][4], myStudnts[i][5]);
}
** }

[Flashcoders] 1172: definition flash.desktop:NativeApplication
Good afternoon group. I didn't get a response on the Flash Tiger list
last week, so that's why I'm cross-posting. Hopefully this isn't
off-topic.
I am in the process of going through some AIR tutorials using the Flash
IDE, and I have encountered some errors. I am following the instructions
exactly and I still can't get the app to compile (although I did
discover that the tutorial did leave out some key info). I even tried
the sample file and that won't compile. I am simply trying to make an
application with custom chrome that is draggable, that can be closed,
and that can be minimized. I haven't added any other functionality at
this time. The tutorial says to put the code on a frame in the timeline
(which I wasn't really comfortable with, but what do I know?). Here is
the relevant code:
import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
back.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, back_CLICK);
function back_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.nativeWindow.startMove();
}
minimize.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, minimize_CLICK);
function minimize_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.nativeWindow.minimize();
}
closeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,closeButton_CLICK);
function closeButton_CLICK(e:MouseEvent):void {
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();
}
Here is a link to the tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flash/articles/custom_chrome_app.html
Among other things, I get the following error: 1172: definition
flash.desktop:NativeApplication. I have installed the Flash AIR
plug-in,
and I do get code prompts in the actions window. Does anyone have any
idea why I am getting this error and how I might overcome it? Also, I'd
prefer to include this code in a class, but I'm not quite sure how I
would go about doing that, so any ideas on that would be appreciated as
well.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: [Flashcoders] frameworks and flash
If your framework includes dependency injection like Spring or database tools like Hibernate or HaXe's SPOD for the Flashplayer, then you get a lot of your code moved into configuration files which really cuts down on the work, re-enforces collaboration and makes testing a lot better. Java is way ahead in this area but perhaps we will get there. Ron Paul Andrews wrote: A framework gives you amethod of organising your code in a manner that aids development and maintenance. Using a framework makes your code organisation understandable to others that are familiar with the framework, so it aids cooperative/team development. Potentially you can work on other projects that use the same or similar framework more easily and maybe pick up some coding guidelines/shortcuts and understand the strategies followed by others. In tiny projects frameworks aren't too important. In larger co-operative projects it is important for the reasons above.

MXML is very powerful, but there is certainly a big learning curve. For basic stuff, buttons and containers and text, it's easy to get started. There are lots of subtle details though, so when you start wanting to do things in ways the Flex authors didn't anticipate it often takes experimentation to find a way that works. The Flex framework code is open source at least, so you can always dig into that and see what it's doing. We have also used Cairngorm, with mixed results. Cairngorm doesn't really give you much code, it is mostly a set of design patterns. Some of the important code it does give is a controller which connects Cairngorm Events to Cairngorm Commands. Cairngorm events inherently know their dispatcher, which is a singleton, so you can just fire off events like so: new SaveGameEvent(game, user).dispatch(); and the controller connects that to the appropriate SaveGameCommand. We've come to the conclusion that Cairngorm is great for situations where most user actions imply immediate communications with a server, but not so useful for situations where user actions are just manipulating data internal to the .swf.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS statement this[testStudent + i] in JAVA ?
From what I understand you have a 2D String array and want to use the
values in this array to initialize new instances of the Student class.
The simplest is an Student array:
int len = myStudnts.length;
Student[] testStudents = new Student[len];
for(int i=0; ilen; i++)
{
// change Student constructor to accept a String array as parameter
testStudents[i] = new Student(myStudents[i]);
}
Access individual Student instances later using array indexes:
testStudents[2].goToSchool();

Yes, it's possible. The FileReference object now allows you to access the contents of a file uploaded by the user directly. You can manipulate it and pop-up a save dialog, again with FileReference (but the action has to be initiated by the user, such as a button click), and save the modified file locally, without bouncing it to a server.

It does sound like you don't have Adobe Air as the version value in the

There should be no problem in including that code in a class... references
to NativeApplication are static and it could easily be put in a main
document class or deeper.
Pedro, there is a way to get a temporary certificate via the Commands - Air

are part of the free intro videos (i.e. membership is not required).

Re: [Flashcoders] local file thumbnail preview :: possible?
I realize my reply doesn't really answer you question (you were asking about displaying the image rather than downloading it back), but I think it must be also possible. You can access to the file raw data as a ByteArray, but you still have to convert that into a bitmap (or bitmapdata first?). It's possible in Flex: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/08/25/previewing-an-image-before-uploading-it-using-the-filereference-class-in-flash-player-10/ So, I think it should be possible in plain Actionscript. Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2008/11/17, Juan Pablo Califano [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Yes, it's possible. The FileReference object now allows you to access the contents of a file uploaded by the user directly. You can manipulate it and pop-up a save dialog, again with FileReference (but the action has to be initiated by the user, such as a button click), and save the modified file locally, without bouncing it to a server. Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2008/11/17, artur [EMAIL PROTECTED]: using fp 10, is it possible to generate a thumb preview of the user's selected local image files that they want to upload via FileReference.load() ? or some other method? thanks, artur - ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

One last thing to try is to tween with rounded values only, but I'm quite sure that wont make a difference, I think any font moved or turned in 3d space gets a bit 'blurry'.

I used Pixel fonts and non pixel fonts, checked and unchecked Auto Kerning, used all types of Anti-aliasing, bitmap text and device font, but in vain!!! It definitively works and fonts look great without using any 3d property as in when i use tween alpha only. Is there a solution to use those properties without loosing the font quality?

[Flashcoders] How to add meta data in image through AIR/ AS3.0?
Hi All, I have to add a meta data tag in image after resizing it( Aspect ratio in my case) while uploading. Any idea how to do that ? any workaround? I have some classes by while helps me reading the EXIF tags through the images, but not getting any clue how to add something new.

[Flashcoders] Re: How to add meta data in image through AIR/ AS3.0?
Hi All, Just to rephrase my question again. Basically when we resize any image its lost its meta data, so in my case i want to preserver those data even after resizing, and this require extraction of the meta data from original image and writing back these data after resize. But How? Any Help is greatly appreciated. There are way out in JAVA and C# n all for this, But how about Action Script.
