Re: [Flashcoders] IE8 - Strange display behaviour [SOLVED]
I finally solved this one,
For those interested in the solution here it is.
It was merely a case of browser cache not acting as expected. So, I
called the swf file with a date variable to prevent caching :
script type=text/javascript
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF(mySwfApp.swf?t= + new Date().getTime(),
mySwfApp, 550, 400, 9.0.0, false, flashvars, params,
attributes);
/script
And all is fine now.

If you have the IE Developper Toolbar, you'll see in the Scripts

So with that I know all the data is here, I know wich menu item is

Re: [Flashcoders] Minimizing Code: Logic Issue
You can create an array of MovieClips as well and if you don't have to
fetch the movieclip's parent name in order to controll it's alpha
var myStuff:Array = [_root.mc1., _root.mc1., _root.mc1.]
for (var i:Number = 0; i myStuff.length; i++
{
myStuff[i].mc3.onRollOver = function() {changeViewOn(this);};
myStuff[i].mc3.onRollOut = function() {changeViewOff(this);};
}
function changeViewOn(mov:MovieClip)
{
mov._parent.alpha = 100;
}
function changeViewOff(mov:MovieClip)
{
mov._parent.alpha = 0;
}

i've been following this thread and may have missed a critical detail, but why
do you need to check an instances name against an array if all you want to
change is its alpha? or if you have extra values you need to check can't you
just assign them to each instance when you add the rollover behaviours?

Hmm,
Just to be clear. I guess you are creating a number of clips on
which you set the alpha. Then you are using an equal number of clips
that can be rolled over. When you rollover these clips, you set the
alpha on the corresponding alpha clip.
I can see why it might be using the last array member - that would
be assigned the last time you loop through the array. You might want to
add traces in a few more places - e.g. trace out the clip you are
messing with, trace out it's name, etc. after you assigned it?
Are you adding the clips programmatically - at runtime - or at
authortime - in the IDE? Not 100%, but if you are adding them at
authortime, you might not be able to add to their properties.
I usually do a loop like below and attach symbols, then create
properties on them, e.g.
//Trimmed down example of adding a load of button clips
for (iBut=0; iButsection.buttons.length; iBut++) {
var btn:Object = section.buttons[iBut];
trace(button + btn.text + attributes: +
btn.attributes[audioID] + , + btn.attributes[seqID] );
// create speech clip button
var speechMC:MovieClip =
this.speechButtons.dummy.attachMovie(audio button, speechS+iBut,
(1000+iBut));
//Assign properties.
speechMC.audioID = btn.attributes[audioID];
speechMC.seqID = btn.attributes[seqID];
//add the onRelease functionality
speechMC.onRelease = function() {
trace(onRelease + this + audioID + this.audioID);
if (this.seqID this.audioID) {
playSequenceA(this.seqID, this.audioID);
} else if (this.seqID) {
playSequence(this.seqID);
} else if (this.audioID) {
playAudio(this.audioID);
}
//Generic button handling for rollover colours...
fButtonOff(this);
}
}
Also, when you rollover and it traces - does each clip have the same
nm value - that will break it / not work. You could always use the
_name value of the clip to find out what to change.

Re: [Flashcoders] Recommendation for AS3 decompiler?
If you want to have your MXML back from a SWF than there isn't a tool out there that can do that. You will get some Classes but they may not reflect the project's structure in the begining.

Re: [Flashcoders] Payment processing in Flash?
Usually there are two ways of handling payement, first is the hosted pay page, which means the payment is done through de payment processing website, not on yours. The second, and I presume you want that one, is done all on the merchant's server. This requires you to buy an SSL key, have your flash form through https (otherwise they won't accept dealing with you). Otherwise it's just communicating with their server with POST. You'd have to look at the API of the service you want to use to know wich variables are sent back to you, and which are required from you. I'm currently working on a site that uses Moneris, here are a few links to see what goes on : https://www3.moneris.com/connect/en/index.html https://www3.moneris.com/connect/en/process/index.html https://www3.moneris.com/connect/en/documents/index.html and to do some tests : https://esqa.moneris.com/mpg/index.php?u=DemoUserp=passwords=store2 Store IDstore5 User ID demouser Password password Anyway you should read the documents they provide, everything is in there. I'm pretty sure the basic processes are the same elsewhere, just the variables that differ. Hope this helps Meinte van't Kruis wrote: I'm not sure about this one, but couldn't you just make the form in flash yourself and just post the same variables to the service, which the usual HTML foms also post. You could just peek in the HTML form, check out the variables which it will send and simulate that behaviour in flash. Transaction failure, secury etc is something the service itself is responsible for. If you can ask the party in question what kind of responses you can receive, than you could also handle these in flash.

There is no standard for doing something like this, because it's not possible. You can't hide URLs requested by the client from network monitoring. You can require authentication for specific URLs, however, using either your web server or your application server. If these FLVs are being streamed through Flash Media Server, it provides authentication functionality. If they're static FLV files, you can enable authentication on your web server, or serve the files through an application server like ColdFusion.

RE: [Flashcoders] __proto__ but not prototype?
From the documentation here is what they say about prototype :
prototype (Object.prototype property)
public static prototype : Object
A reference to the superclass of a class or function object. The prototype
property is automatically created and attached to any class or function
object you create. This property is static in that it is specific to the
class or function you create. For example, if you create a custom class, the
value of the prototype property is shared by all instances of the class, and
is accessible only as a class property. Instances of your custom class
cannot directly access the prototype property, but can access it through the
__proto__ property.
Which means prototype is read only and that if you want to change it's value
you do so through __proto__
Another way to achieve what you want would be to add the following to your
class
class PixView extends MovieClip {
static var symbolName:String = __Packages.PixView ;
static var symbolOwner:Function = PixView ;
var className:String = PixView ;
function PixView {
// constructor code
}
// do your stuff
static var symbolLinked = Object.registerClass(symbolName, symbolOwner);
}
Then you can do the following anywhere, on stage or in another class:
import PixView;
var pv:PixView = PixView(this.attachMovie(PixView.symbolName, pv,
this.getNextHighestDepth()));
and that's it. You have a MovieClip of the class PixView on stage.

My solution (which may not be that efficient), is to create all of the sound objects in the fla then load the mp3s into them. When they are all loaded each sound object is added to a new object that holds it as well as a 'loops' property that says how many times the sound object must play. These objects are then put into an array in the order they are to be heard. This array is passed to my LoopSound class that controls the playback. I can also pass a 'loopForever' property that will make the series repeat indefinitely.
The problem I am having is re-triggering the play() function from within my
LoopSound Class to move onto the next sound in the array. I am sure that there
will be a much neater way of achieving what I want, and maybe even a
pre-written class!

RE: [Flashcoders] Class to loop sound objects in order
If you know the length of that gap (usually 25 ms) you can stop the playback
of that file accordingly, that's what I tried in my new set of Classes. It's
not perfect but with a little tweeking it's possible to obtain something
good ...
Of course if your sounds are really short, then this is not a solution.

But isn't there a small glitch in the song between each loop because of
the mp3 compression? I thought the only way to get rid of the glitch was to
export every sound as a swf.

you can check out these set of classes I created for something similar to
what you need.
it doesn't loop each mp3 files but, creates a song based on an array of
mp3 files .
You can modify it as you wish to fit your needs but the simplest thing would
be to just to repeat the filename in the array [file1, file1, file1, file2,
file3, ... ]

Hi there, thanks for checking my post. I am trying to create a class that
will play a number of mp3 loops each a specified number of times and in the
specified order. I have tried to find an existing class but cant find one
anywhere.
My solution (which may not be that efficient), is to create all of the
sound objects in the fla then load the mp3s into them. When they are all
loaded each sound object is added to a new object that holds it as well as a
'loops' property that says how many times the sound object must play. These
objects are then put into an array in the order they are to be heard. This
array is passed to my LoopSound class that controls the playback. I can also
pass a 'loopForever' property that will make the series repeat indefinitely.
The problem I am having is re-triggering the play() function from within
my LoopSound Class to move onto the next sound in the array. I am sure that
there will be a much neater way of achieving what I want, and maybe even a
pre-written class!

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: EventDispatcher.initialize() andsuper()conflict?
On another note, if you only need to listen to another class events
simply register that class with the one you use. (like a controller)
Unless you need to dispatch an event afterwards.
import classToListen;
class myClass extends otherClass
{
private var _classToListen:classToListen;
function myClass(m:Model)
{
super();
}
public function register(registeredClass)
{
_classToListen = registeredClass;
_classToListen.addEventListener(onEvent, Delegate.create(this,
eventHandler);
}
public function eventHandler(evtObj:Object)
{
//do stuff
}
}
if you need to dispatch events then decorate with EventDispatcher as
Jesse and Muzak recommand.
Alain
Muzak wrote:
As Jesse said, use the static way instead of initializing it in the constructor.
This serves 2 purposes:
- mixin only occurs once (rather than which each instance created)
- mixin occurs before the constructor is run
With that said, any reason why you're not decorating the super class with
EventDispatcher?
When decorating the super class every subclass will have event dispatching
(which is usually what you want).

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS2: EventDispatcher.initialize() and

I have a class that has to call it's superclass in the constructor.
However, it also needs to initialize EventDispatcher to listen to
dispatch events that another class is listening to. It seems, and I
could be wrong, that EventDispatcher does not work if it's not the first
thing in the constructor. I thought someone had said once, or I read
it, that EventDispatcher has to be first in the constructor. And of
course, probkem then is super() will not work if it's not first, so it
seems to be a catch-22. Is this true regarding
EventDispatcher.initialize() and how to avoid?
code snippet:
/*=Constructor=*/
public function MyClass(m:Model)
{
super(m);
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
}
If this is OK then maybe something else is wrong in my code, I just
wanted to find out if maybe this is why the events aren't firing.
Thanks,

RE: [Flashcoders] EventDispatcher weirdness in AS2
If you are using this exact code then I believe you have an error in the
constructor :
public function MyClass should be public function MyMainClass
also you should either set your vars as private or whatever kind you need.
Another thing, your eventlistener should have an object as second param, not
a function so your Class should become :
import myClass;
import myOtherClass;
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class MyMainClass
{
private var _myClass:MyClass;
private var _myOtherClass:MyOtherClass;
public function MyMainClass()
{
doStuff();
}
private function doStuff()
{
_myClass = new MyClass();
// Refer to the listening object, in this case it's the
current Class MyMainClass (this)
_myClass.addEventListener(onTransition, this)
_myOtherClass = new MyOtherClass();
}
// I usually define event handlers as simple function not public nor
private - took that approach from ARP :)
function onTransition(evtObj:Object)
{
trace(Hello World, the event fired);
trace(_myOtherClass);
}
}
This is not tested but I believe it should yield something
As for your MovieClip problem, I feel your pain ... seen it before and can't
remember how I fixed it. Is there a stop() at the beginning of that clip ?
in another timeline code or class ? This usually brings problems with
gotoAndPlay ... Sometimes we forget to remove a stop() at certain places
where it is unneeded - OnEnterFrame, setInterval, etc ..

Driving me mad. I don't get what could possibly be happening here. Why
would _myOtherClass instance no longer exist after the event in an
unrelated class fires? Any ideas?
import myClass;
import myOtherClass;
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class MyMainClass
{
var _myClass:MyCLass;
var _myOtherClass:MyOtherClass;
public function MyClass()
{

_myClass = new MyClass();
_myClass.addEventListener(onTransition, onTransitionHandler);
_myOtherClass = new MyOtherClass();
trace(_myClass) //traces [object Object] as expected
trace(_myOtherClass)//traces [object Object] as expected
}
private function onTransitionHandler():Void
{
//Event is heard just fine, the following traces just fine:
trace(Hello World, the event fired!)
//but this does not:
trace(_myOtherClass)//traces undefined !?!
}
}
Also, in other movie clip, a simple gotoAndPlay(theframelabel) does not
work. It goes to the right framelabel, but willl NOTplay - even if I force
it with a mc.nextframe() and mc.play() it only advances one frame and stops
again. There are no other stop() actions in the clip or anywhere else
referencing the clip. Makes me wonder if my project is somehow corrupt. ?

RE: [Flashcoders] EventDispatcher weirdness in AS2
Hehe no prob.
For your listener are you doing something like
_myClass.addEventListener(onTransition, Delegeate.create(this,
onTransitionHandler));
private function onTransitionHandler() {
//do stuff
}
don't you prefer
_myClass.addEventListener(onTransition, this);
function onTransition() {
//do stuff
}
for better clarity and less code writing ? No need of delegate in this case.
Of course it's a question of choice and habit. Just to let you know of the

Even though it's possible to use the class instance as the listener (this),
you're still better off using Delegate.
What if you have 2 instances dispatching the same event that need to be
handled completely different?
submit_btn.addEventListener(click, this);
aTotallyUnrelated_btn.addEventListener(click, this);
The above will work, but they'll both trigger the same event handler and
you'll have to resort to if()else() stuff.
No big deal if you have 2 buttons.. get's hairy with loads of buttons.
Or what about different components (DataGrid, ComboBox, List, etc..) who all
dispatch a change event..
_dg.addEventListener(change, this);
_cb.addEventListener(change, this);
_list.addEventListener(change, this);
versus:
_dg.addEventListener(change, Delegate.create(this,
datagridChangeHandler)); _cb.addEventListener(change,
Delegate.create(this, comboChangeHandler)); _list.addEventListener(change,
Delegate.create(this, listChangeHandler));
Get in the habit of using Delegate (in AS2) and *always* use it.. no
exceptions ;-)

Re: [Flashcoders] AS 2 Delegate question
Or you could use another Delegate class. There is the Proxy class I
believe (can't remember who did it) and the one I use the most is the
one on dynamicflash.com
http://dynamicflash.com/2005/05/delegate-version-101/
You can pass parameters in the Delegate call
myButton.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, myFunction, param1, param2, ...);
Merrill, Jason wrote:
In this case the delegate will send to the btnRollOver
function only the parameters of the event onRollOver.
You will have to find another way to solve this problem...
maybe extend the MovieClip class, or maybe it could be better
to not use the delegate.
Actually, you can do it this way:
import mx.utils.Delegate
var myDel:Object = myButton.onRelease = Delegate.create(this,
myFunction);
myDel.myVariable = Hello World;
function myFunction()
{
trace(arguments.caller.myVariable)

Re: [Flashcoders] seamless audio loops
You could also try out my looping classes if you want to loop a dynamically loaded mp3 : http://lab.daroost.ca/2007/02/25/sondloop2-revisited-musicbuilder-soundobject/ To loop only 1 sound file use the SoundObject Class, to create a song based on multiple files and looping that new song, use the MusicBuilder Class. You specify the number of milliseconds that the silence gap added lasts (usually around 25ms). The other solution, as mentioned in he other posts, is to reencode your MP3 file, or import it as Steven said. But WAV format is much better for the latest (or AIFF on Mac), you'll have to take into account the added weight to your swf.

Re: [Flashcoders] Class broadcasting Question...
You forgot to add a listener ! :)
in the timeline code :
bar.AddListener(this);
and it will listen to all event broadcasted by your Login Class. Note
that it's AddListener not AddEventListener as you're using AsBroadcaster.
As easy as that !

I have a class that I would like timeline code to instantiate and call a
method on. I would like the class to broadcast back to whomever is
listening...
simplified class:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Login extends AsBroadcaster
{
function Login()
{
};
public function foo( sValue:String ):Void
{
// stuff
broadcastMessage( attempt, bValue );

bar.foo( test string );
function attempt( bValue:Boolean ):Void

Obviously I am missing some pieces here, any quick insights?

Re: [Flashcoders] adding filter to the stage.
to reference the current MovieClip you can use the this statement.

[Flashcoders] Flash / Java Communication with ExternalInterface
Hi All, we're at a point in a project where we need good communication between Flash and Java. ATM we are using SWT Flash and it's FSCommand handling. I would like to go a bit further to be able to send complex objects via ExternalInterface. I know there is Javaflash (HYPERLINK http://www.osflash.org/javaflash/http://www.osflash.org/javaflash/) out there but the official website is so slow and it seems to be still in beta. Basically, we are using Flash as GUI for a Java backend. We'll need to send back and forth some complex objects. We are currently exploring the possiblity of using XML to send values. What solution would be the best ? Meaning which one gets the fastest response, stability and extendability. Are there any other options or howto's than FSCommand ? any link or tips are welcome. Or is Javaflash stable enough for use in a commercial App ? Thanks in advance ! Alain No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash / Java Communication with ExternalInterface
Currently we're using Flash 8, but switching to Flex is also an option. The thing is that we are building a Java Desktop Application, forgot to mention that, it's not a web application. FYI, ExternalInterface can be used with any other platform if the proper hooks are in place. It can be done with JavaScript, C# and Java (with JavaFlash) As I said JavaFlash is still in beta and I'm looking for other options, but not web options as Robert proposed. Thanks for the advice tho ! We have FLash running inside a widget created by SWT Flash. Inside it we can use a flashobject widget with code looking like this : flashobject.setVariable(String name, String value) wich is the basic setVariable sending only strings. We need to be able to call Flash Methods as well, so we would like to do flashobject.FlashMethodCall(args) So far the only thing we can do is use FSCommand and pass variables as strings ...

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: generating new instances dynamically?
Hi Sebastian,
When extending the MovieClip Class in AS2, there is no way to access the
constructor. All initializations should be done, like Matthias Dittgen
mentionned with the optional initObject argument of
attachMovie(libraryID, instanceName, depth, initObject)
That way you set all the properties that you need before the onLoad() of
your Class. Don't forget that it's a MovieClip and in AS2 it's instances
are not handled the same way as other Classes and has it's own rules :)
You should read on the MovieClip Class, it's all there

sebastian chedal wrote:
If it is a movie clip you want to instantiate then you have to use:
_root.attachMovie(libraryID, instanceName, depth);
The class associated with it will construct and the onLoad event will
trigger if it is being listened to.
this indeed works, but then i can't pass any values to the constructor.
Is there any way to attachMovie and at the same time pass values to it?
I supose I can always refer to it afterwards on the time line and call a
custom function... but it would be nice to use the constructor's
functionality.
I had hoped I could generate new instances just by calling a constructor
instead of attaching it to something; but i guess logically i it needs
to be
attached to be on the timeline. Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!

I have one class/object that I want to use to generate copies

The second class is an object in the library with an ID and an
assosiated
*.as file [in the linkage panel].
The code is:
=
//PostModel.as
import com.blabla.PostView;
class com.blabla.PostModel {
public function createPost (__id) {
var newPost = new PostView (__id);
}
}
=
When I run this code, the class doesn't construct an instance...
What am I missing? If I need to call the Library Identifyer
instead,
how
would I do that?
I don't want to attach the PostView to the PostModel class, I just
want to
create instances of them and attach them to _root [or some
other MC

the
timeline].

Re: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
Btw when setting a start time other than 0 to the timer, it's the
difference between both that will be calculated.
Example :
you app starts at 0ms, but for some reason you need some data loaded
that your timer needs before it starts. You need to take into account
the time elapsed.
var wantedEnd:Number = 2000;
var curTime:Number = getTimer();
soundTimer.startTimer(curTime, wantedEnd);
the Timer won't go for 2 seconds, but an event will be triggerred after
2 seconds of the Application launch.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash JavaScript Integration Kit Issues
Check more on the JavaScript Side, It might be a problem accessing the DOM objects in IE6. Check out document.documentElement in javascript, sometimes this is where the solution lies in such problems. put some alerts() at the key places and try to find the value of the Flash object for IE6 ...

RE: [Flashcoders] Compiling with self-reference
Hi Danny,
Maybe make it a
public var pParent:Clarss;
or if you don't want your var to be accessed directly outside the class
(best practice)
class Clarss {
private var _pParent:Clarss;
function Clarss(tParent:Clarss) {
pParent = (tParent != undefined) ? tParent : this;
}
public function get pParent():Clarss {
return _pParent;
}
public function set pParent(value:Clarss):Void {
_pParent = value;
}
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] Compiling with self-reference
Slightly complicated and not terribly important but annoying:
It's possible for a class to compile while self-referring:
class Clarss {
var pParent:Clarss;
function Clarss(tParent:Clarss) {
if (tParent != undefined) {
pParent = tParent;
}
}
}
This compiles fine. But with inheritance this no longer works:
class Clarss {
var pRoot:Clarss2
function Clarss() {
}
}
class Clarss2 extends Clarss {
function Clarss2() {
}
}
Now the compiler gets confused by the circular reference and tells me
**Error** C:\...Clarss.as: Line 1: The name of this class, 'Clarss',
conflicts with the name of another class that was loaded, 'Clarss'.
It's a shame: My object structure has a bunch of objects in a tree
structure, all of which inherit the same base class. I'd like them all to
have a reference to the top-level node object, but I have to refer to it as
an Object instead of its actual class name because otherwise it can't
compile.

RE: [Flashcoders] Accessing an Associative Array
Actually you have an Object not an Array when you define your variable :
var myarray = { text:Lorem ipsum };
is the same as
var myarray:Object = new Object();
myarray.text = Lorem ipsum;
but with Actionscript you can access objects with the array notaion []
var i:Number = 1;
var myMC:String = movieClip+i;
this[myMC]._x = 26;
myarray[text] = Lorem Ipsum;
instead of
this.movieClip1._x = 26;
myarray.text = Lorem Ipsum;
If you really want an associative array, look at Jason's answer
Otherwise keep on using the Object notation, but you will lack all the Array
object specific methods

Hi all, I just picked-up Actionscript 3.0 Cookbook (O'Reilly) today, and found myself pondering this: Is it time to make the switch from v2 to v3 AS? That (as always) depends on your goal (project). If you're into RIA's, Flex+AS3 is probably better suited for the job. Third paragraph states: This book assumes that you have obtained a copy of Flex Builder 2 and have successfully installed it on your computer. ... What happened to coding in Flash? Am I waiting for the next version of Flash until I can successfully and/or easily write AS3 via the Flash application? I think the above answer applies here as well. Will the future of Flash AS always require the Flex Builder? Or, is Flex Builder just one out of many/few code editors for compiling the new AS3 code? Flex Builder is just another AS editor. It just happens to be ahead of the Flash IDE when it comes to AS-version. AS3 for the Flash IDE is currently only available through the AS3 alpha preview (http://labs.adobe.com) If I only want to animate some objects around the stage programatically (for something like a website header), should I just make the switch to AS3 (if player versions were not an issue), or is AS2 still an acceptable way of producing small action-scripted movies? I see no reason why you'd switch to AS3 for this kind of work. Links? Blog posts? Articles? Am I over-complicating things?

So Flex/Flex Builder is not here to replace the Flash IDE, but (finally) gives those that are more into the programming side of things a powerful and robust tool that they're probably already comfortable with, since it's based on Eclipse
Re: [Flashcoders] clearInterval(0);
Well actually, clearInterval(0) clears the interval ID 0 lets say you have an interval defined : var myInt:Number = setInterval(this, doSomething, 1000); then it is possible that myInt = 0. The value of myInt is set by calling setInterval, which returns the ID of the interval, so doing clearInterval(0) is the same as doing clearInterval(myInt) but otherwise it doesn't do anything if no interval ID 0 exists Adam Pasztory wrote: Wow, lots of interval questions lately... :) I don't believe clearInterval(0) does anything.

RE: [Flashcoders] Adding Dynamic Text to Scroll Pane
Again you need to have your MovieClip inside the Library not on stage and
contentPath takes only a String not a MovieClip.
so you have to do the following :
myListingScroll.contentPath = listingTextMC; // this does the same as
attachMovie but inside the ScrollPane
var listingMC:MovieClip = myListingScroll.content; // make a reference of
the movieClip you just added to the ScrollPane
var myTextFld:TextField = listingMC.Listing_Text; // make a reference of
the textField inside your movieClip
var dataLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
dataLV.onLoad = function(success) {

Hello,

The problem unfortunately still exists. Here is the code I now have.

And there is no content in the scroll pane. I added a dynamic text box to
the same frame as the scrollpane and I can put the value of Data.Listing
into it so I know that I am reading the file correctly.
What I am I doing wrong here??
__
Hello Steve and welcome to flashcoders,
the proper way to set content for a ScrollPane is as follow :
MyScrollPane.contentPath = myContent;
where myContent is a MC in your library with a linkage ID myContent
So what you should do is create a MovieClip with your dynamic text in it and
export it for ActionScript with linkage ID myContent
Look up the ScrollPane methods in Flash help as well for other tips.
Hope this helps

RE: [Flashcoders] Set Interval Question
You should rethink your approach,
I believe it will be easier to just
start a fade in,
wait 10 seconds,
fade out.
When the fade out is complete start over with another picture.
untested code below :
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var curID = 0;
fadeIn();
function fadeIn() {
curID++;
var curMC:MovieClip = image + curID;
myTween = new Tween(curMC, _alpha, Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 1.5,
false); // or something like that
myTween.onMotionFinished = Delegate.create(this, pauseImage);
}
function pauseImage() {
setTimeout(fadeOut, 7000);
}
function fadeOut() {
var curMC:MovieClip = image + curID;
myTween = new Tween(curMC, _alpha, Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 1.5,
false);
myTween.onMotionFinished = Delegate.create(this, fadeIn);
if (curID 6) curID = 0; // we start back at the first image
}
HTH !

Subject: [Flashcoders] Set Interval Question
Hello Again,
I have a setInterval issue/question, here it is. I set a main timer. 10
seconds. In that 10 second interval, I load, fade in, pause on, and fade
out, that image. That is working mostly fine. Accept I have a seperate
setInterval starting for the images fade in and fade out functions (1.25 sec
* 2). And have it pausing for the remainder which should be 7.5 seconds.
Problem is it doesn't work out, and by the 4th or 5th image it is noticably
offset. I am guessing this is because of the time it takes to process the
code, didn't seem likely at first, but It is not off by much, and it seems
to be increasing marginally which means that not much, becomes significant.
Long story short, well...point being that I want to be able to call the main
timer, and tap into it at 0-1.25 seconds and then again at 7.5 -10 seconds
to run the image fade in and fade out. Can I do this, from
variableName = SetInterval (function, 1);
use the running timer for other functions?
Thanks again.
If you need clarification about just what the heck I am trying to say. I
can send in some code.
Thanks,
Paul Vdst

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting frustrated. regarding set Interval, and for loop.
Hi Paul,
actually what you should do with setInterval is something like
setInterval(functionReference, interval);
or to keep the scope of the interval : setInterval(this,
functionReference, interval);
secondly, if you want to load the image at a set interval, then your
approach is wrong. You should call setInterval to attach a new movie and
increment the count inside that interval.
There is no delay in a for loop, at least none noticeable enough in this
case. What is happening in your code is that all 5 pictures will appear
at the same time after 1 second. Don't know if that's what you aim for.
in the case you want the pictures to appear at a 1 second interval, your
code would become :
// if you're in a class do the following
private var myIntrvl:Number;
private var movieCount:Number;
// if not :
var myIntrvl:Number = 0;
var movieCount:Number = 0;
function loadImages() {
this.clearInterval(myIntrvl); // it's best practice to clear your
interval before setting it, you never know where it has been set before
myIntrvl = setInterval(this, doLoadImage, 1000);
}
function doLoadImage() {
movieCount++;
this.attachMovie(image+i, image+i, 41); // allways refer to the
movieClip you are attaching, in your case it's this
image = this[image+i]; // eval is deprecated in Flahs 8, so this
is a better syntax
// rest of your resizing code afterwards
}
Hope this helps !

Re: [Flashcoders] Resize Flash content dynamically via JS in IE6 when DOCTYPE declaration is present in HTML
If i look at the code from Eduardo Ramos, I can see a problem for IE6 in
the pixelWidth property. I don't believe it exists ...
what you should be doing is the following :
function newSize(datoX,datoY) {
var flashElement;
if(document.all !document.getElementById) {
flashElement = document.all['miFlash'];
}else{
flashElement = document.getElementById('miFlash');
}
flashElement.style.width = datoX + px;
flashElement.style.height = datoY + px;
}
Where you are setting the CSS width and height of the element you
selected (miFlash). And CSS width and height styles are defined with
either px, em, %
#flashcontent {
width: 100 px;
height: 100 px;
}
this is not tested but I believe it should work. I have a similar but
more complex code for resizing iframes and it works in IE6 as well.
good luck !

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting frustrated. regarding set Interval, and for loop.
Ahh yes forgot something to stop loading images :
function doLoadImage() {
movieCount++;
this.attachMovie(image+i, image+i, 41); // allways refer to the
movieClip you are attaching, in your case it's this
image = this[image+i]; // eval is deprecated in Flahs 8, so this

// rest of your resizing code afterwards
// When you have all 5 images, stop calling the interval
if (movieCount == 5) {
this.clearInterval(myIntrvl);
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Dragging a clip gives erratic ._x numbers
Hi Paul,
checked your files and indeed the position was wrong if you dragged and
droped too fast. I made a simple fix to your code and now it works
nicely. In your onRelease function you should grab the final position of
your mc. Here is the code with a bit of cleaning up and use of Delegate
to be sure the scope is respected :
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var mouseDragListener:Object = new Object();
var mcDrag:MovieClip = mcTruckScrubber.mcDragControl; // make a
reference to the draggable mc for easier typing
// This will be used when the drag/scrubber control is moved
mouseDragListener.onMouseMove = Delegate.create(this, setText);
function setText() {
asdf.text = Math.ceil(this.mcDrag._x);
};
// Watch for mouse down on the scrubber control (the little vehicle icon)
this.mcDrag.onPress = Delegate.create(this, dragMC);
// When the user releases the mouse button outside the drag control
area, treat it like a normal release:
this.mcDrag.onReleaseOutside = this.mcDrag.onRelease =
Delegate.create(this, stopDragMC);
function dragMC(){
mcDrag.startDrag(false,0, 0, 300, 0);
// Start watching the mouse and do what the listener says:
Mouse.addListener(mouseDragListener);
};
function stopDragMC(){
mcDrag.stopDrag();
asdf.text = Math.ceil(this.mcDrag._x);// grab the final position of
the mc
Mouse.removeListener(mouseDragListener); // this stops listening to
mouse move goodies
};
enjoy !

Heya folks,
This is baffling me (and making me very annoyed), and I haven't
found an
answer elsewhere, so here goes...
I have a main movie with a custom drag scrubber control. At the
core
of my app (Flash 8 Pro) is this scrubber that needs to simply
return its
position so I can use it to display the proper frame of a movie clip
(with many frames).
Problem is that dragging the scrubber in one direction very slowly
will
frequently get erratic and NOT just increase or decrease relevant
to the
drag direction. Now, I originally thought it could be poor rounding
math code on my part, but I finally put a text counter on the screen
that simply displays the value of mcTheMovieClip._x which is the
dragged clip. Here's what I mean by erratic:
Dragging from left to right, ._x reports:
..101, 102, 101, 102, 103, 104, ..
What the friggin' poo?? What exactly causes a dragged movie clip to
jump back/forth a pixel or two? It's making an accurate,
consistently
one-directional drag behavior to be roughly impossible!
I'm miffed, but hopefully somebody has a clue on this and would be so
kind as to throw down some helpful bits.
Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Dragging a clip gives erratic ._x numbers
onEnterFrame didn't give any better results either, it was definitely a case of how fast can Flash grab the exact _x postion when the button is released and the listener removed (or onEnterFrame deleted). Can't quite understand the logic of the sequence or timing, but it's definitely a case of asynchronous function call. John VanHorn wrote: this seems to be tied to using a mouse listener. onMouseMove is not synchronous with the frame rate, so it can fire more than once in between framesthat being said, it still doesnt make sense that the _x seemingly increases if you drag left. if you use good ole onEnterFrame, everything works fine.

I have a main movie with a custom drag scrubber control. At the core of my app (Flash 8 Pro) is this scrubber that needs to simply return its position so I can use it to display the proper frame of a movie clip (with many frames). Problem is that dragging the scrubber in one direction very slowly will frequently get erratic and NOT just increase or decrease relevant to the drag direction. Now, I originally thought it could be poor rounding math code on my part, but I finally put a text counter on the screen that simply displays the value of mcTheMovieClip._x which is the dragged clip. Here's what I mean by erratic: Dragging from left to right, ._x reports: ..101, 102, 101, 102, 103, 104, .. What the friggin' poo?? What exactly causes a dragged movie clip to jump back/forth a pixel or two? It's making an accurate, consistently one-directional drag behavior to be roughly impossible! I'm miffed, but hopefully somebody has a clue on this and would be so kind as to throw down some helpful bits. Thanks!

RE: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
Also if you want to create your own onResult Event (it's not a real event)
you can do this without EventDispatcher or listeners :
class com.boa.projects.iqrcgenerator.components.AdminData{
public var onResult:Function;
private var userData:Object;
public function wsUserDataByLOB(lobDbId:Number):Void{
var getUserListResult:Object = new Object();
getUserListResult =generatorWebService.GetUserList(lobDbId);
getUserListResult.onResult = Delegate.create(this,
resultHandler);
}
private function resultHandler(oUser:object) {
// handle the data however you want ..
// now trigger the onResult method
this.onResult(oUser);
}
//... the rest of your class below
}
Now in another class where you import AdminData with say an instance called
admData :
var admData:AdminData = new AdminData();
admData.onResult = function(oUser) {
// your code handling here
}
As for a method with EventDispatcher, you'll find pretty much what you need
with what the others gave you ! :)
HTH !

Subject: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
OK, I'm pretty good at Actionscript 2.0, but something I never really
understood and now need to.
Core question: How do I make an event in a custom class, and how do I make
a listener in another class listen for the event?
EventBroadcaster in the help docs seems to only show how to use it with
Adobe classes and components. Docs on listener are the same. I know how to
set up listeners for other events, like keypresses and mouse rollovers.
Easy enough. But my problem is this (see comments in code
below):
class com.boa.projects.iqrcgenerator.components.AdminData{
private var userData:Object;
public function wsUserDataByLOB(lobDbId:Number):Void{
var getUserListResult:Object = new Object();
getUserListResult =
generatorWebService.GetUserList(lobDbId);
getUserListResult.onResult = function(oUser){
//this works fine,
//I can capture this event result here,
//but how do I notify another class?
//also what about scope here?
//how to set userData as oUser result?
//can I fire an event in my AdminData
//class from here?
}
}
public function getUserData():Object{
//can't let user get this data
//until Webserive event is done.
return userData;
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
Jason,
So if I understand clearly what you want to do is :
From Class A : (pseudo code following)
class ClassA {
private var instClassB:ClassB;
make comboBox
make datagrid
function ClassA() {
instClassB = new ClassB();
comboBox.onChange = Delegate.create(this, cbChangeHandler);
instClassB.addEventListener(webServiceResult, this);
}
function cbChangeHandler(e){
instClassB.getWSdata(e.value);
}
function webServiceResult(evtObj:Object) {
update datagrid with evtObj.newData
}
}
class ClassB {
Decorate with EventDispatcher methods
dispatchEvent, addEventListener, removeEventListener
function ClassB() {
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
}
function getWSdata(val) {
get data from web service
wsInstance.onResult = Delegate.create(this,
wsResulthandler);
}
function wsResulthandler(data) {
this.dispatchEvent({type:webServiceResult, newData:data})
// add anything you want to pass in the object
}
}
Now you have them both communication the way you want
Have fun !

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
Daniel, try as I may, I can't get your code to work. I have one class,
which has a combobox. I can get the event to fire when the combobox changes
just fine, but I can't get it to hear the firing of the data capture from
the webservice in the other class.
So basically, in pseudocode, I need to do this:
class A{
make comboBox
make datagrid
when comboBox changes, use Class B
to get data from webservice
when webservice result received,
update datagrid with new data
}
class B{
connect to webservice
when requested, return data to requesting class }
Reason I want these two classes to be separate is because I want other
classes to call Class B to get data as well. So, I can do all of those
things just fine, they are all working, except for the last part, when
requested, return data to requesting class - I figure since the webservice
is asynchronous, I need to capture the received event, which is fine, I can
do, that works. But I need to tell Class A to update the datagrid with the
new data when it gets it from Class B - so an event model is required.
in your code, you have a var r in both the Class A and Class B - I'm
confused about that. Thanks for any help.

Here is your code modified to use the EventDispatcher:
import mx.events.EventDispatcher; // import the event dispatcher
class com.boa.projects.iqrcgenerator.components.AdminData{
public var addEventListener:Function; // Set the functions
public var removeEventListener:Function; // Set the functions
private var dispatchEvent:Function; // Set the functions
private var userData:Object;
// I'm sure you have a different constructor, but you need
// to add that line to it if you want to use the eventdispatcher
public function AdminData(){
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize(this); // add this to
constructor
}
public function wsUserDataByLOB(lobDbId:Number):Void{
var getUserListResult:Object = new Object();
getUserListResult =
generatorWebService.GetUserList(lobDbId);
var r = this; // To get this in onResult
getUserListResult.onResult = function(oUser){
r.dispatchEvent({type:eventOnResult,
user:oUser}); // Dispatch the event
}
}
// I may just take this function out all together since the event
can
// autommatically send them the data.
public function getUserData():Object{
return userData;
}
}
Then in your other class you can do something like:
//myAdminData is an instance of the class above
var r = this;
r.eventOnResult= function(evtObj:Object){
trace(user: + evtObj.user); // Should return the
oUser object } // addEventListener takes the event name, and
who you want to listen
myAdminData.addEventListener(eventOnResult, r);
Does that help? I obviously can't test the code, but I think
everything is right... I have trouble with scope, which is
why I use a lot of 'r'
values instead of 'this'... Just easier for me... Probably
not a good coding
RE: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
Jason,
By the look of it, you will never receive an onResult for your
getUserListResult ... it's a simple Object and no Method onResult exists for
that class that I know of ...
What are you using to make your webservice calls ? are you using Flash
Remoting ?
if so you should use the responder to handle the result.
import mx.remoting.Service;
import mx.remoting.PendingCall;
import mx.rpc.RelayResponder;
import mx.rpc.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.ResultEvent;
var myService:Service = new Service( gatewayUrl , null , serviceName , null,
null );
var pc:Pendingcall = new PendingCall();
pc.relayResponder(myService, handleResult, handleError);
well I can't really remember from the top of my head, I'll need to look it
up from home,
but this is somewhat how you can know when the data has arrived from the
webservice.
So your class be ends up beeing a Service caller, you can make it a
Singleton and use it to fetch different services from your gateway.
You should definitely look into the ARP framework (or other similar
projects) ... that's how I learned how to best use Design Paterns :) after 2
projets with it, you'll definitely understand :)

Alain,
Been following your suggested method, it's great, and everything works as
advertized, except can't get wsResulthandler to fire once the Webservice
data is received.
Also, how do I send the data from the comboBox change event through to the
getWsData function? I need to know the data from the selected item in the
combobox, as that is a parameter I sent to the webservice to get the data. I
hard coded it a number for now, but it doesn't work because of the first
problem.
Here is a snippet of the code in Class B
function getWSdata(lobDbId:Number) {
var getUserListResult:Object = new Object();
getUserListResult = root_mc.generatorWS.GetUserList(1)
//lobDbId);
getUserListResult.onResult = Delegate.create(this,
wsResulthandler);
}
function wsResulthandler(data) {
_level0.traceMsg(WS Result recieved.)
this.dispatchEvent({type:webServiceResult, newData:data})
}
Did I set that up right?

You should try masking your movieclip through code, as you are loading into it with code : movieclip_a.masked.setMask(movieclip_a.mask); then your masked movieClip should remain masked even if you load a jpeg inside it.

Yes or use the MovieClipLoader class var mLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); mLoader.load(movieclip_a.masked, image.jpg); If you load your jpeg to a depth of 0 it might overwrite the masked movieClip and thus you lose the mask as for the skewing, have you rotated or modified your clips inside the IDE before applying your modifications ? this might affect the actual way it is resized.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Detecting NaN
I'm trying to convert an arbitrary object into a Number, and then detect if
the conversion actually succeeded. In theory I would convert it and then
check if the converted value is NaN, but this doesn't seem to work.
Here's my test. In a blank FLA I put the following code:
--
var foo = foobar;
var fooN:Number = Number(foo);
trace(typeof(fooN));
if(fooN == NaN) {
trace(fooN is NaN);
} else {
trace(fooN is a number: + fooN);
}
--
This should output:
number
fooN is NaN
but instead I get:
number
fooN is a number: NaN
For some reason the check to see if it's NaN isn't working, and I have no
idea why.
It looks like I can use isNaN(fooN) for the check instead, but I'm wondering
why == doesn't work.

So my first thought was attach the Movie within the original class, but of course now my events wont have effect into the new created object. So what would be the best approach? In the perfect world I would have a class that will then use the class that I created to create new items without having to do any coding in the timeline One more thing, I tried registerClass after creating the objects within the original class, it works but for some odd reason it adds 2 items on the stage rather than only 1 as requested.

Re: [Flashcoders] how do I setvalue and then getvalue between flash and scorm server
if you can use ExternalInterface (Flash 8) or the Javascript
Integration Kit (http://osflash.org/flashjs) to communicate back and
forth with your LMS.
As for having cuepoints triggering your actions you should look up
FLVPlayback.cuePoint events
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=3488.html#wp3773909
// from livedocs
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace(Elapsed time in seconds: + my_FLVPlybk.playheadTime);
trace(Cue point name is: + eventObject.info.name);
trace(Cue point type is: + eventObject.info.type);
}
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(cuePoint, listenerObject);
inside your listener function you could define your LMS actions.

RE: [Flashcoders] onLoadInit running when swf doesn't exist
have you tried defining your listening function before your loadText
function ? Had similar problems when defining the event handlers after the
load() call. Also you could use LoadVars to test the existence of the file
firsthand.
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var fileExists:Boolean = false;
var testFile:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
testFile.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, testExist);
function testExist(success:Boolean) {
fileExists = success;
}
testFile.load(pPath + texts.swf);
Then load either the swf or the xml accordingly.

Subject: [Flashcoders] onLoadInit running when swf doesn't exist
I've got some information that might either be contained in a swf file or an
xml file. What I'm doing (stripped down) is this:
function loadText():Void {
var tSwf:String = pPath + texts.swf;
var tContainer:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(txt,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var tLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
tLoader.addListener(this);
tLoader.loadClip(tSwf, tContainer);
}
function onLoadError(tContainer:MovieClip):Void {
tContainer.removeMovieClip();
importText(pPath + texts.xml);
}
function onLoadInit(tContainer:MovieClip):Void {
stuff here
}
So it tries to load in the .swf, and if this isn't found, it looks for the
XML. Running locally, this is working fine. But running online, it's
failing: despite the fact that the swf file doesn't exist, it's running
onLoadInit instead of onLoadError.
Anyone have any thoughts?

RE: [Flashcoders] Launch an application from CDROM based projector
You cannot send parameters from fscommand to the bat file. Allready tried once to no avail. It is a security feature If I remember right my readings on the subject. Zinc would be a better option than fscommand. Or if you want to avoid Zinc, use fscommand to call a bat file that has all the parameters inside it. Usually you can just open de needed file with the bat file, and the System will find the proper app to open it if it's defined in the Registry.

Usually we didn't have control over the LMS server but that didn't matter (except for updating and testing ... but that's another story) We delivered everything in our package ... let's say you had a directory structure as follow : - imsmanifest.xml - course (folder) - SCO1.html - sco1.swf - assets (folder) - movie.FLV - movie2.FLV - sound.mp3 - etc ... So when you send your PIF (simple .zip file) to the LMS, all the necessary info should be there. No need to put your movies on another server. They can be all in your package.

RE: [Flashcoders] access movieclip trough a class
You must defined the variable first in your class before using it.
class Holder extends MovieClip {
private var mc1:MovieClip;
function Holder() {
mc1._x = 50;
}
}
that way you won't get any compiler errors

Re: [Flashcoders] SCORM?
You have 2 solutions concerning your Quizz issue, 1. In case each question is a SCO, get the current score from the LMS with FlashVars and send the updated value to the LMS. 2. Have your quiz (all 21 questions) in only one SCO and send the score at the end. as for the FLV's they should be refered inside the SWF only, no need to add them to the manifest. Only the SCO entry points are usually required in it. HTH Alain Dave Mennenoh wrote: I did a small quiz for a client and now they've decided to make it integrate into their LMS. I did some looking and it seems using external interface and calling the LMS like so: ExternalInterface.call(LMSInitialize); should work pretty well. However two things are not making sense to me. I see how I can call LMSSetValue to set the users score but I only see min, max, and raw score entries. The quiz has 21 questions, can I not track the response for each question? Finally, this quiz has a bunch of associated FLV's - 50MB worth. Can the video content be kept outside of the SCO package? Does it need to be included in the manifest XML file? I thought I could just place the flvs on their server and reference them from Flash... that's what I was hoping. Thanks for any insight.

Re: [Flashcoders] SCORM?
For your FLV, you should load it dynamically and keep it external. We had lots of external assets used by our SWF (MP3, FLV, pictures) and we kept them out of the SCOs and out of the imsmanifest.xml, it was becoming hard to list all those files in there ! But if you only have a few external files, then you should (as it is best practice) keep them listed in the manifest. As for your score handling ... Here is what we did : We kept track of the scores inside the Flash (considering we had 1 SCO for the quiz) and only sent out the failed, passed or incomplete status back to the LMS. Also we used a Flash SharedObject to keep track of where the user was last time in his answers and progress. You could send that out in your location variable to the LMS as well, depending on how much information you want to send. There are some limitations to string length to consider. So it's up to you to decide how you want to track the score inside the SCO. You just need to send the right information back to the LMS, and get it back properly through FlashVars and / or SharedObjects. The downside of SharedObjects is that if the user changes computers to try again the Quiz all the previous progress saved in the last session won't be accessible. Alain Dave Mennenoh wrote: Thanks for the info, but saying I should include the files in the manifest xml file is not saying I should need ti include them within the SCO itself. Do I need to? I can see from the perspective of allowing any LMS to deploy this SCO that the video files should be in the SCO... but is a 50MB SCO a normal thing? Seems to negate the whole point of using streaming files. Also, Alain said - have all 21 questions in one SCO and send the score at the end. This is what I have... they wanted SCORM at the end so it was never developed for scorm compatibility in the first place... From what I see though sending at the end only allows me to send the min,max or core scores... so min at 0 and max at 21 and they got 18 right - so that's the core score... it works OK, but is not the best. Without having separate SCO's for each question, is it possible to record the answers for each question - or is it only possible to record the fact that they got 18 right out of 21...?

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading international language XML into Flash
Using system fonts is the best idea since people that will read in Chinese will have the Chinese language installed on their comp. That's what I did for a multilanguage site i'm working on. For my part it's not XML but either text from a database or text file saved in UTF-8. To test your movies you would need to install those languages on your system as well.

I used XRay to see what was going on and I noticed that 2 or 3 times the

to delay my positioning actions :
var firstResize:Boolean = true;
var stageListener:Object = new Object();
stageListener.onResize = Delegate.create(this, onResizeHandler);
Stage.addListener(stageListener);
function onResizeHandler(){
//

firstResize = false;
} else {

RE: [Flashcoders] preloader not completely preloading...
The only place I see where this could fail, is at your if line.
You should probably calculate nTBytes outside your checkLoad() function and
pass it as a variable at your first call.
for your if statement you should maybe write it like this :
var minPercentLoad:Number = 100;
if ( nPercent == minPercentLoad) {
//...
}
that way you'll be sure that your movie has loaded all the way before doing
anything else.

Subject: [Flashcoders] preloader not completely preloading...
I'm using the code at the bottom of this post.
Using the Simulate Download and the Bandwidth profiler, I have two different
files where it's basically downloading about 15% of the file and then
continuing playing.
The preloader starts to work correctly, but basically quits out incorrectly
around 15%.
Looking at the bandwidth profiler, it continues downloading in the
background while trying to (poorly) play.
Any obvious hangups?
No components are in use, all assets are inside the flash file. The
bandwidth profiler shows a linear download, 0 to 100%, just around 15% or so
it just goes on and tries the play the file after showing me the preloader
for the first 15%.
I've used this code successfully before, it's just that now I have a
deadline, so, I guess it totally makes sense that it does not work now. Grr.
=== CODE ===
// preloader
function checkLoad(mcTarget:MovieClip):Void{
var nLBytes:Number = mcTarget.getBytesLoaded();
var nTBytes:Number = mcTarget.getBytesTotal();
var nPercent:Number = (nLBytes/nTBytes)*100;
mcLoader.mcBar._xscale = nPercent;
var sPercent:String = Math.floor(nPercent).toString();
var sKBytes:String = Math.floor(nTBytes/1024).toString();
var sMessage:String = sPercent + % of + sKBytes + K loaded.;
mcLoader.tPercent.text = sMessage;
if (nLBytes = nTBytes nTBytes 0) {
if (nCount = 12) {
clearInterval(nProgress);
mcTarget.gotoAndPlay(main);
} else {
nCount++;
}
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
var nCount:Number = 0;
var nProgress:Number = setInterval(checkLoad, 100, this);
stop;

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader/loadMovie vs. digit on instance name
Hi Wagner,
INMHO, the best way to add your numbers to the name of MovieClip is to
first define a variable as the base name of your mc, then add the number
(id) to that base name. I do it like this :
var baseName:String = newWin_;
var mcID:Number = Math.round( Math.random() * 100 );
var mcName:String = baseName + mcID;
you'll be sure to allways have a string that way!
I usually use this in a loop (for or while) where I use an incremental
number (i++)
var baseName:String = newWin_;
for (var i:Number = 0; i maxMC; i++) {
var mcName:String = baseName + i;
}

Yesterday I was building a WindowManager class, and I wanted to assign
random names to each created window. So I went for the obvious:
var randName:String = String(Math.round( Math.random() * 100 ));
var _newWin:Window = Window( _tgt.attachMovie(_linkage, newWin_ +
randName, _tgt.getNextHighestDepth(), initObj) );
which gives me something like: _level0.windowContainer.newWin_123456
however, when I tried to load an external image into a movieclip
inside this new Window, MovieClipLoader.loadClip() failed silently,
and loadMovie() gives an error in the path (doesn't specify which
path, but then I found it was the destination movie's path)
setting properties like _newWin.textContainer.text = 'xyz'; works ok,
but I could not load an image into _newWin.imageContainer, even though
I can trace it (gives me
_level0.windowContainer.newWin_123456.imageContainer)
then I did this, and the image loaded correctly, along with the text
properties:
var randName:String = String(Math.round( Math.random() * 100 ));
var randNameArray:Array = randName.split( '' );
var newNameArray:Array = new Array( randNameArray.length );
for ( var i:Number = 0; i randNameArray.length; ++i ) {
newNameArray[i] = String.fromCharCode( 97 +
Number(randNameArray[i]) );
}
randName = newNameArray.join( '' );
var _newWin:Window = Window( _tgt.attachMovie(_linkage, newWin_ +
randName, _tgt.getNextHighestDepth(), initObj) );
basically I converted the numbers into their letter equivalent,
starting from a, which gives me something like:
_level0.windowContainer.newWin_abcdef
and now both loadMovie() and MovieClipLoader.loadClip() loads the
image correctly
my question is, why is this happening? isn't a digit a valid
'variable-letter' in flash ?
is this a known issue, or is it just me? am I doing something wrong?

RE: [Flashcoders] Loading library movie clips sequentially? Best way to do this?
Hi Micky, if you want to spread the load across time, the best approach is to have 36 .swf files that you load one at a time. To perform the loading you should use the MovieClipLoader (look it up on HYPERLINK http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.h tm?href=2538.htmllivedocs or just HYPERLINK http://www.google.ca/search?hl=enq=MovieClipLoadermeta=google) And of course there are many preloaders out there that can speed up the process as well.

Best way to do this? Hello, Here is the scoop: I have 36 movie clips in my library that get placed on stage via actionscript... Long story short, I would like to load each clip one at a time, for example: movie_clip-01 fully loads and animates into position, then movie_clip-02 loads and animates into position, (...), and finally movie_clip-36 loads and animates into position. Basically, I want to break-up the load across time, vs. doing it all at the beginning. Just wondering if the above idea makes sense? Is it standard to do that type of loading from the library at runtime, or should I be working with 36 external swf files?

RE: [Flashcoders] AS2 Flash Remoting Troubles
This may be a scoping problem,
As you define your result handling function inside your clic handler. You
could try this :
import mx.utils.Delegate;
// your usual code here
createAccount.click = Delegate.create(this, clickHandler);
function clickHandler() {
var checkUsername_pc:PendingCall =
FlashChat.CheckUsername(username_txt.text);
var checkUsername_res:RelayResponder = new RelayResponder(this,
CheckUsernameResult, CheckUsernameFault); // btw you had twice the same
var name here checkUserName_pc for PendinCall and Responder
}
function CheckUsernameResult(msg) {

RE: [Flashcoders] MP3 sound cutting out
Hi Paul,
Does your screen length (time) affect the sound or is it the sound that
determines the length of a screen ? Firsthand, it sounds like a synch
problem to me. Is there any other places where you call stopAllSounds() or
playSound() ? This might as well affect the cut off.

Subject: [Flashcoders] MP3 sound cutting out
Hi,
I've got a template-based e-learning application which plays a dynamic
mp3 voiceover file (typically around 200k in size) once a screen has loaded.
The problem I've got is that on a few screens, the audio more often than not
cuts off before it has finished - in a random place each time. Other screens
that are fine have exactly the same type of MP3 compression, and swapping in
the MP3 file from a screen that does work doesn't solve the problem. I've
noticed the problem is much worse in Player 9, doesn't happen as much in
Player 7, and even less if I simply run the .swf outside the browser.
Anybody got any ideas? It's driving me nuts!
The sound code is simply:
private static function playSound(soundToPlay):Void {
// stop any currently playing sound
stopAllSounds();
var mySound = new Sound();
mySound.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
{
if (success)
{
mySound.start();
} else {
trace(Sound failed);
}
};
mySound.loadSound(soundToPlay, true);
}

Not being a standard button, you obviously can't do:
