Re: [Flashcoders] Calculator
Right. I believe that one. So Steve, what is the correct equation for my code then. Since I'm dumb and your smart. Explain to me why you get 0.05 when you do it the way you say and you get 450 when you do it the retarded way I did it? We ALL know 15% of 3000 is 450. Even the mathematically challenged.

RE: [Flashcoders] bubbling listening
What he said - events only bubble up the display list. EventDispatcher doesn't extend DisplayObject (rather the other way round) - so even if your Sprite is an instance inside an EventDispatcher it can't be on the EventDispatcher's stage (EventDispatcher doesn't have a stage). Instead of subclassing EventDispatcher, consider subclassing a DisplayObject (Sprite or MovieClip) - which because they extend EventDispatcher will give you access to all the functionality you need.

Yes, and what I am saying is, that architecture is wrong. You don't
create instances of EventDispatcher and then put Display object inside
of them.
>> I have to "pass" the event up the ladder to the singleton. I'd
rather leap over the EventDispatcher.
Right, exactly, so don't use it at all.
>> What I want is:
>>CustomSprite dispatches CustomEvent
>>Singleton catches CustomEvent.
Right, so just do that. Like this. First, create your custom event:
//MyCustomEvent.as
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class MyCustomEvent extends Event
{
public static const MYEVENT:String = "myevent";
public function MyCustomEvent(type:String,
bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
public override function clone():Event
{
return new MyCustomEvent(type, bubbles,
cancelable);
}
public override function toString():String
{
return formatToString("MyCustomEvent", "type",
"bubbles", "cancelable", "eventPhase");
}
}
}
Then, create your custom display object and dispatch that event:
//MyCustomEvent.as
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class MyCustomDisplayObject extends Sprite
{
public function MyCustomDisplayObject()
{
somethingHappens();
}
private function somethingHappens()
{
dispatchEvent(new
MyCustomEvent(MyCustomEvent.MYEVENT));
}
}
}
Then, in your class (which in your case happens to be a Singleton class,
(which again, is irrelevant whether it is a Singleton or not), listen to
it:
//MyClass.as
package
{
import MyCustomEvent;
public class MyClass extends
{
private var
_myCustomDisplayObject:MyCustomDisplayObject;
public function MyClass()
{
_myCustomDisplayObject = new
MyCustomDisplayObject();
_myCustomDisplayObject.addEventListener(MyCustomEvent.MYEVENT,
onMyEvent);
}
private function onMyEvent(event:MyCustomEvent):void
{
trace("MyCustomEvent fired")
}
}
}
For only moving one level up the display object chain, you don't need to
bother with bubbling. If you go more than one level up, then turn
bubbling on when you dispatch from the MyCustomDisplayObject class:
dispatchEvent(new MyCustomEvent(MyCustomEvent.MYEVENT, true));

The EventDispatcher has a private var that's a reference to a custom
class that extends Sprite.
The Event Dispatcher is instanced in the singleton, it's not on the
stage, it just directs traffic, so to speak.

Yes, I'm doing that too.

This is the part I'm not getting to work. What I have working is the
following:
Singleton
- has private var EventDispatcher
EventDispatcher
- has private var CustomSprite
CustomSprite dispatches CustomEvent.
EventDispatcher catches CustomEvent from Sprite.
EventDispatcher dispatches same CustomEvent. <-- unnecessary step??
Singleton catches CustomEvent from EventDispatch

Re: [Flashcoders] bubbling listening
(feel free to shoot me if this is a bad idea)
Cheat.
Assuming EventDispatcher is a custom class and you're using AS3, create a
method within EventDispatcher to add Singleton as an event listener to
CustomSprite. Something like
public function myAddCustomSpriteListener(eventName:String,
listener:Function):void
{
CustomSprite.addEventListener(eventName, listener) ;
}
And just call the method within Singleton like so:
EventDispatcher.myAddCustomSpriteListener("myEventName", listenerFunction) ;

Re: [Flashcoders] Calculator
True, true. One should think before they speak.. My question wasn't to try and relearn what I already had known, but in working on my calculator, I kept trying equations. I tried 15/3000 * 100 and it kept coming out 0.05 I tried 15*3000 / 100 and it came out 450, so I was a little baffled.. I knew it should be the other way and I got to Algebra 2 Trig in school, I was just drawing a blank at the time and made the mistake of asking the list. Now Steve thinks All americans are as dumb as me evidently be cause I did. And no, a war is not what I am looking for, just help.

What do you mean "The EventDispatcher contains an instance of a sprite." Normally what you would do is not create an instance of EventDispatcher, but instead have your custom class extend Sprite (which already extends EventDispatcher anyway), have that sprite dispatch a custom event. Then have your class listen to the instance of that class for the custom event you dispatch. So in summary, you write an event class, dispatch that custom event from the "sprite" class (the custom class that extends sprite) and listen for that event on that instance in your Singleton (the fact that it's a Singleton should be irrelevant). Your singleton class then has a handler you write that runs when the event is heard. Make sense?

[Flashcoders] Re: Embedding fonts CS3 vs FD
Hi Not sure if this will help. But when i embed fonts. I use flash cs4 ide to make a library file swf or swc and add my fonts to that as font symbols. Bring that into flashbuilder But what i have found in my AS3 i had to use this var headingFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); var headingFont:Font = new GothamBlack() // name of the library instance so e.g Arial() // headingFormat.font = headingFont.fontName; headingtxt.embedFonts = true; headingtxt.text = "SOME TEXT"; headingtxt.setTextFormat(headingFormat); Even if you have made a textfield in the flashIDE and set it to access the library item or even use embed font. It didnt seem to work unless i hard coded it to use it. There does seem to be probs with flash cs4 and fonts still.

[Flashcoders] Embedding fonts CS3 vs FD
Hi,
I am trying to get runtime font loading working in my project.
I have managed to do this fine for Chinese characters using the
method of creating a Font symbol in the IDE and loading at runtime, but
I am struggling with Hebrew fonts.
My font appears to be loaded, and ASCII characters are displayed
fine, but my Hebrew characters are not displayed - looking at the font
in a decompiler, I can only see 243 characters embedded and no Hebrew,
so I am guessing that CS3 does not really embed the whole font? Is
there a way of hacking it to do this - library fonts, not embedding on
stage?
I also tried using Flash Develop to embed my font, but I get an
error when I try to register the font it throws an error. It decompiles
okay with the decompiler.
Error #2136: The SWF file file ... contains invalid data. I found a
couple of posts about this, but trying the fixes did not solve anything..
(http://www.ultrashock.com/forums/actionscript/font-embedding-using-flash-as3-and-flex-3-a-109509.html)
I have googled everywhere and read about 20 articles on Font
embedding, so I can't see what I am doing wrong.
My font code is here:
public class _Arial extends Sprite {
[Embed(source='C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIAL.TTF', fontName='_Arial',
unicodeRange='U+05B0-U+05FF')]//,U+FB1D-U+FB4F,U+2000-U+206F,U+20A0-U+20CF,U+2100-U+2183)]
public static var _Arial:Class
}
Thanks in advance

Re: [Flashcoders] Calculator
that's not finding out the percentage, you know the percentage, 15%. 15% means, 15 in every hundred right? so 15% of $3000 you find like this... (3000/100) * 15 = 450 (total/100) * percent = amount in plain english, first you need to divide the total by 100, to get 1% of 3000, 1 in every 100 of 3000. then once you have 1%, you multiply by 15 to get your 15%. as david said they're 2 different equations, one to find what percentage of a total a given amount is (which i explained before) and one to work out the amount of a total given a percentage.

(25 / 100) * 100 = 25% of the apples are red. if i have 200 apples and 25 of them are red... (25 / 200) * 100 = 12.5% of the apples are red. (amount / total) * 100 = %. hth.

Re: [Flashcoders] Calculator
Hmmm, thats interesting then. I did a search on google for "15 percent of 3000" and it came back with 450. I am thinking google doesn't have it wrong, but whoo knows. When I run the script with those parameters, it equates correctly 15 * 3000 / 100 = 450 (15% of 3000) however 15 / 3000 * 100 = 0.5 What am I missing here then if it is not percent*total/100?

I should add that your original XML could be used, but then your just using XML to hold an old-fashioned tree list and it's not really an XML relationship problem (since your original XML is just a flat list) but a problem of traversing a tree of links. Your original XML is just an array with references to other links in the array. The thing that makes it difficult to handle is that your links point in the wrong direction - you can't easily tell where the children are for a given element. If I had to use the original XML, I would load them into an array which also had forward pointers. Initially those pointers would be unset and I would then search out all the children for a given element and continue until I had mapped all children. Then I can build the tree from the root element - I can recursively descend the tree. To space the tree out you need to know the spacing characteristics of the level below. Not sure that helps.
