[Flashcoders] LoadVars problem
Hi guys I'm having problems with a LoadVars object. I need to POST some variables to an external script and pass the result to an xml object so I'm using a LoadVars object with the LoadVars.sendAndLoad() method to send out the information and to recieve the response. The problem I'm having is that, when LoadVars constructs the POST variables, it automatically escapes all of the punctuation and spaces. This is not normally a problem (in fact, i'd say it was desired) but the 3rd party have asked that I send them the variables unescaped. this is my loadvars code (once the form has been verified): var _loadVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); _loadVars.user = itfName.text; _loadVars.title = itfReviewTitle.text; _loadVars.reviewtext = itfReview.text; _loadVars.rating = _nRatingChosen; _loadVars.recommend = mcTickBox.isTicked; _xmlResult = new XML(); _xmlResult.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, loadVarsOnLoad); _loadVars.sendAndLoad(_sSubmitUrl, _xmlResult, POST); the send POST string looks like this: recommend=falserating=2reviewtext=This%20is%20a%20test%2E%20Do%20not%20adjust%20your%20set%2E%0Dtitle=Flash%20Review%20Number%20user=Allandtsubmit=trueapiversion=2%2E1 and I'd like it to look like this recommend=falserating=2reviewtext=This is a test. Do not adjust your set.title=Flash Review Number user=Allandtsubmit=trueapiversion=2.1 is there any way i can turn off the urlencode for the variable or manually create the string to send (without it encoding) or will i have to write a javascript function to send the variables? thanks alz ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] FDT SVN + Code Assist
In Flex Builder, you can go into the Flex Navigator window (the tree-layout project-contents window), select a directory (like .svn), right-click it, choose properties from the resulting menu, then check the box which says derived. Once you do that, I believe it will recognize that files in the directory and below are not source. I don't know for sure that this will solve your particular problem, but it works for me to keep unwanted stuff out of the Open Resource dialog (bound to C-x C-f with Emacs keybindings, I don't know how to get to it otherwise. :-) I expect it will keep that stuff out of autocomplete and other code hinting. Downside is that there's no way to give Flex Builder a pattern to apply across your whole project tree, you have to manually go through the tree and click it for each directory you want to mark.

[Flashcoders] RE: How to set a TextFormat to the label of a TileList
1. TileList uses the ImageCell cellrenderer so. 2. Grab a copy of this from the component source and rename the file, the class, and constructor function to something like TileCell. 3. Remove the fl.controls.listClasses from the package name and place it in your project source. 4. Add import flash.text.TextFormat; to your import statements in the TileCell.as file. 5. Create a variable in the file. Ie. protected var myTextFormat:TextFormat; 6. In the constructor instantiate the new format ie. myTextFormat=new TextFormat(); myTextFormat.font=Univers 55; myTextFormat.color=0xff; etcetera. 7. Go to the listData setter function and at the beginning add setStyle(textFormat, myTextFormat); 8. Finally on your tileList change the cellRenderer ie. myTileList.setStyle(cellRenderer, TileCell); 9. Enjoy! cheers, Craig Bowman ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] flash exe files proxy ports.
the crossdomain.xml missing was the problem. after we uploaded it worked like a charm, *THANK YOU* - Original Message - From: Glen Pike g...@engineeredarts.co.uk To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 12:25 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] flash exe files proxy ports. Hi, We have a linux equivalent of a Flash exe requesting files from http://127.0.0.1 which does not work without the crossdomain file, so I am guessing it may apply. This just says what is allowed to load content from your server. You may still have to publish the Flash exe with Access Network Only for the Local Playback Security settings - this will allow that Flash SWF to request things from the webserver.

Today I don't have this file in my root domain, but I can put it.allowing all connections like: ?xml version=”1.0″? cross-domain-policy allow-access-from domain=”*” / /cross-domain-policy my doubt is does this crossdomain apply when the content is beeing loaded by an flash exe from your desktop or only when you have flashes in different domains but both uploaded in a server? - Original Message - From: Glen Pike g...@engineeredarts.co.uk To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 11:01 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] flash exe files proxy ports.

[Flashcoders] AS3 NetStream onPlayStatus and IOError
Hi there, Just doing some tests loading flv dynamically and there's something I don't quite get. From the reference: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/NetStream.html#play() If the video file can't be found, the netStatus event is dispatched Indeed the onPlayEvent gets called with NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, but then when and why is the IOError dispatched? Now, from that very same method, a little bit later when talking about the parameters: The location of the video file to play, as a URLRequest object or a string But when I try to use an URLRequest object instead of a string, nothing works. And I was trying to use the URLRequest instead of a simple string just to test if I could get the IOError dispatched. BTW, the first comment on that page seems to be getting the same problem with the URLRequest as I get. Tests seem to be consistent in IE and FF, running from the local system or from a server.

Re: [Flashcoders] Javascript Flash resizing
Javascript and flash can do some interesting things together. I built a
flash gallery that would load up images and depending on how much space it
needed, resize the div the flash was sitting in so browser scroll-bars came
into effect if necessary. Then, when a certain image is displayed large,
scrolling in the browser would move the large image inside the flash so it's
always centred within the browser window.
Here's my javascript, the flash should be simple to work out:
script type=text/javascript
if (window.addEventListener)
{
window.addEventListener('scroll',scrollingDetector,false);
window.addEventListener('resize',resizeDetector,false);
}
else if (document.addEventListener)
{
document.addEventListener('scroll',scrollingDetector,false);
document.addEventListener('resize',resizeDetector,false);
}
function scrollingDetector()
{
var scrollY;
if (navigator.appName == Microsoft Internet Explorer)
{
scrollY = document.body.scrollTop;
}
else
{
scrollY = window.pageYOffset;
}
getFlashMovie(excl).setScrollY(scrollY);
}
function resizeDetector()
{
var height;
if (navigator.appName == Microsoft Internet Explorer)
{
height = documentbody.offsetHeight;
}
else
{
height = window.innerHeight;
}
getFlashMovie(excl).setHeight(height);
}
function runFirst()
{
scrollingDetector();
resizeDetector();
}
function getFlashMovie(movieName)
{
var isIE = navigator.appName.indexOf(Microsoft) != -1;
return (isIE) ? window[movieName] : document[movieName];
}
function setFlashHeight(newH)
{
gid = document.getElementById(flashHolder);
//gid.style.width = 965px;
gid.style.height = newH +px;
}
/script
