[Flashcoders] Apple backing off. Why?
I will enjoy every minute of this. I felt like Steve personally kicked me in the heart when he came out against Flash. His stance has definitely had an impact on my work as a flash developer. My work load Hear, hear Carl. This Adobe Great News link looks pretty much just to be an acknowledgment of the Apple statement (which has curious restrictions in it ... like external code can not be loaded); and a mention, from afar, that some apps are being approved. http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2010/09/great-news-for-developers.html . Apple damaged the Flash community with their actions this year. . Employers now question (often without clear knowledge) whether Flash should be used on projects as a result. . Adobe itself was surprised a few days from CS5 release about Apple prohibiting packager development. I would have hoped, after many years of Adobe creating apps for Mac platforms; that they would have somebody who works directly with Apple; that can now clearly say that Apple now allows Adobe apps, what the restrictions are; and that Apple will not back off again on a whim. (Preferably in a joint statement with Apple). It appears (appears) that Adobe has no high level connections in Apple and just reacts. It is had to build a third-party business model around that.

I would like to understand the real reason why Apple is backing off -- as from what I have seen in the past, I can't believe it is for the love of developers.. . Corporate pressure? (which has been hinted at). . Possibility of Federal trade restriction lawsuits? . possibly a lack of new *significant* apps, as developers began to consider other platforms?

[Flashcoders] (The Answer) Embedded Fonts: Works in CS4, Fails in CS5?
Thanks to everyone for the responses. Adding embedAsCFF=false to the font Embed solved it! See the below note. Thanks again. ~Bill - this might be due to a known issue bazarly introduced to the new compiler. They added this option: embedAsCFF which can be true or false to switch between the old (classic) textFields (false) and the new super-duper text (true), the bazaar is that the default is true, which breaks old code. So, you might fix your problem by adding embedAsCFF=false to your font embed tag I first heard about this from: http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=2555 which explains the problem well.

while he is generating a lot of traffic, it's all just OT crap.
As a lurker, I just use this list to populate my google account as a

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame);
}
public function init():void
{
trace('init');
theThumb();
}
public function checkFrame(e:Event):void
{
if (counter == 10)
{
doTween();
counter = 0;
} else
{
counter++;
trace(counter);
}
}
public function doTween():void
{
trace('doTween');
addChild(myThumb);
TweenMax.to(myThumb, .4, {shortRotation:{rotation:60},

}

}
public function theThumb():void
{
trace('theThumb');
myThumb = new CloseThumb();
myThumb.x = 365;
myThumb.y = 355;
}
}
}
Notice all the traces I have. Not a single one prints. It would help
me to
know why. The mc CloseThumb does not play, either. What traces is the
following:
at Main2/theThumb()
at Main2/init()
at Main2

[Flashcoders] Looking for actionscript video code
This my first email here. I hope I am posting this to the right area. My apologies if not. I want to take a QT.mov and create an flv with event cue points that can then be controlled using actionscript to stop the video at a specific time and execute another event, all without end user input. I have very little experience in working with actionscript 2.0 (sorry, but I need to do this in 2.0).

Re: [Flashcoders] This actionscript error is driving me mad
Dear Zeh, thank you for your reply.
2007/12/30, Zeh Fernando [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
var p1:Point = new Point(10, 20);
var p2:Point = p1; // not a copy, but a reference
p2.x = 0;
trave (p1.x); // traces 0, not 10
That's the only thing I can imagine. I guess it will depends on what's
on the [snip] part of your code. Is anything (that's also part of the
pathB array) assigned to pnt?
Unfortunately, pnt is not assigned anywhere else. It only appears in those
lines of code I have already sent.
If I replace them with pnt.x=pnt.x; pnt.y=pnt.y; the code works fine! But
anything else fails.
I am thinking this could be an internal Flash bug. Where should I report
this? I am willing to send all of my code if this could help tracing out the
bug.
BTW, happy new year! :)

[Flashcoders] This actionscript error is driving me mad
Hello. I am a newbie to this list, so I am sorry if this message is
off-topic. If it is, I would be obliged if anyone could direct me to the
correct place.
I am a veteran programmer but I am new to actionscript. I have come across
some strange behaviour which is driving me mad. Following is a part of my
code :
...[snip]...
private var pnt:Point = new Point();
private var dirp:int;
private var fastp:int;
private var i:int;
private var pathB:Array;
...[snip]...
for (dirp=fastp; dirp=i; dirp++) {
// BUG!!! If I UNCOMMENT 1 of the 2 following lines, code gets mixed up.
// pnt.x=pathB[dirp][0].x+pathB[dirp][2].x;
// pnt.y=pathB[dirp][0].y+pathB[dirp][2].y;
pnt=new
Point(pathB[dirp][0].x+pathB[dirp][2].x,pathB[dirp][0].y+pathB[dirp][2].y);
if (addElement(pnt, dirp, pathB[dirp][2], pathB[dirp][3]+1))
return pathF;
}
As I mention above, if I uncomment //pnt.x=... or //pnt.y=... or if I even
replace them with something like pnt.x=pnt.x+1;
then my code gets mixed up and returns wrong results.
This is driving me nuts because these two lines shouldn't have any effect
since right below them there is
pnt=new Point(...);
which supposedly cancels the 2 previous instructions. Right?
Could anyone, please, show me the obvious that I can't see?
Many thanks in advance,
Bill Kotsias

Re: [Flashcoders] Detect Flash version in AS3
Joe, In my experience, using some kind of javascript like SWFObject or UFO is the best way to go. There is a project named SWFFix that looks promising, but it appears that no work has been done on it since Feb. http://www.swffix.org/devblog/ As for using AS3 to detect for the version of flash, you are correct to assume that older versions of the Flash player will have problems.

Originally my idea was that the swf would do a version check at the start of the program and if the user wasn't running Flash 9 they would be redirected to download the upgrade. Now, I've done some thinking about this and realised that if the user isn't running Flash 9 then they won't be able to run the swf at all so it wouldn't be able to run the version check. Can anyone confirm that this is the case? If so it looks like that the only ways to check if users can run AS3 swfs are: - use some kind of javascript like SWF Object - use another version detection swf written in AS2. My understanding is that this would have to call the AS3 swf rather than wrapping it. I'd be interested to know how other people have got on with this issue.

I'm not sure what it is that is conflicting. Any ideas would be appreciated. I've attached the class file. If the other class files are needed, please let me know. I also have a test FLA that I have been using to test my progress on this problem.

• When using a MovieClip for your content, be sure to position the
top left of your content at 0,0.
TO DO
1. Update so you can create several 3D plane instances and control
each of them separately.

Re: [Flashcoders] problem creating multiple instances
This is how I am instantiating the creationObject (below). I believe
that if I am passing a different name to the myName property it
should create more than one MovieClip instance.
I'd love to hear more about your suggestion to use a custom class to
set properties instead of a generic object, or maybe point me in the
direction of good tutorial or example. Unfortunately I am a self
taught coder and am not always familiar with some of the best practices.
var myCreationSettings:Object = {
myName:3DCircleOnCavill,

Depends on how you're instantiating your creationObject. BTW, just
a comment
on your implementation: I would use a custom class to set
properties for
creation and animation rather than a generic object. This way, you
can avoid
having to iterate through the object and then you can just
composition your
custom class/object. In Java, this would be equivalent to a Value
Object or
a Data Transfer Object.

[Flashcoders] Accessing an Associative Array
How do you access an associate array using a variable?
Inside my function popup[text]; won't access the array. I can't
find any information in the books I have Actionsript Cookbook and
Actionscript for Flash MX.
Anyone dealt with this before?
// Define the text and titles for the popups
var myarray = { text: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ... };
// Testing - this works!
trace(myarray[text]);
// Show the popup
function showPopup(popup) {
mainMap[popup].gotoAndPlay(on);
mainMap[popup].label_title.text = popup[text]; // This doesn't work.
trace(popup[text]);
};
showPopup(myarray);

Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing an Associative Array
Your right. I am passing a string.
But I'm trying to use that string to access an array by the same name.
someArray = { label: my text };
showPopup(someArray); // send a string which is the name of my array
in the function:
myDynamicText.text = myArray[label]; // try to use the passed
string to access the array.
This won't access some array. How do I convert that string over to
something that will work?

You're passing showPopup a string with the value myarray, not the

Easy, just keep using the array access operator to evaluate:
myVar = myArray2
myArray1 = new Array()
myArray1[elem1] = hello
myArray1[elem2] = hi
myArray2 = new Array()
myArray2[elem1] = wassup

[Flashcoders] incrementing a target?
Hello,
I'm having problems figuring out how to grab an array value and use that
when targeting.
This is my fucntion below. What I am wanting to do is take the [i]value and
be able to use that when trying to write to my textfields
function ExpandData(turbo){
var turboItem = turbo.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i turboItem.length; i++){
but = eval(but+i);
var turbo = turboItem[i];
_root.mainMC.auto.subMC.txtField+i.text = turbo.attributes.name;
}
}
///
Thanks,
Bill

Re: [Flashcoders] incrementing a target?
Seems to jumble me up a bit, I get this error.
Expected a field name after '.' operator.
_root.mainMC.auto.subMC.[textField+i].text = turbo.attributes.name;
thanks though...

Erm, I think you might want to try

Not sure.

Re: [Flashcoders] incrementing a target?
This seems to work great on the right hand side and comes back with the
correct data when traced but I need to use that value as my target. I may
be missing something completely obvious as I'm a total newbie on the coding
so forgive me if I'm overlooking something simple.
I have uploaded my fla and the xml I'm using here if anyone wants to check
it out. I have commented out the section I'm having trouble with.
http://www.billpelon.com/mainFeature.zip
The code I'm stuck on is ClipEvent(load) of the MC on layer 2.
Thanks again,
Bill

Hi,
There maybe a typo in your code?
it should say subMC[textField + i]
There should be no (dot) . before the (square bracket) [
Basically you treat the movieclip subMC like an array. It contains some
text fields textField0, textField1, etc. so you can index the array
with to get the contents of it.
You can do the same with your other bit of code rather than using eval:
//instead of
but = eval(but+i);
//Try this - not sure if you need to use the this operator, but it makes
things clearer.
but = this[but + i]

Aha!
Your text fields on stage are named txtField0, txtField1, etc.
But you are trying to index them as [textField + i]
Sorry that is partly my fault as my original answer said text... not
txt.. as your code does.
so to clarify..
_root.mainMC.auto.subMC[txtField + i].text = turbo.attributes.name;
Should work.
A tip that might help:
If you are trying to find out stuff like this, then you can use a trace
to make sure you are referencing something correctly - I used:
trace(_root.mainMC.auto.subMC[textField + i]);
Which kept returning undefined, so I then used this to find out what was
in the _root.mainMC.auto.subMC movie clip.
for(obj in _root.mainMC.auto.subMC) {
trace(obj + = + _root.mainMC.auto.subMC[obj]);
}
You can also use the debugger and put a breakpoint in your code - then
expand the movie clips to see what you have got at that point in time.
Good luck.
Glen

Re: [Flashcoders] BitmapData size limit
Dave, I'm not sure if this is appropriate for your application, but I ran into a similar problem when creating a project using high-quality panoramic photos. The way I worked around it was by slicing up my image into 2880 px tiles, then re-assembling them with actionscript on the stage. Cheers, BB On 10/5/06, Dave Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for your response Micha this has to with other things. the 2880 px stuff is related to one single object, you can have as much object of that size as you want, as long as you have enough ram. I wanted to create an image object 3500 X 300 pixels which will take up about 4 Mb - but I can't sure you can't. you gave your answer in the above quoted text. your limitation is 2880 px square. and 3500 beats that. No I didn't give the answer. I can understand why 2880 X 2880 might be considered excessively big, but to have 2880 pixels as a limit for a single dimension is silly - unless there is some other reson I don't yet understand. And if another reason exists, then I want to understand what it is. For example, if I have an image object 2881 X 10 pixels, that would be only about 280 kb. Why can't I create such an object? I don't want to scale my image up because I know it will degrade. Thanks David just scale it down to 2880 and you should be fine, than you can put it in a mc and scale that one up. that should do the trick. micha ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] HTTP post request in the background
IT is a long name...
I tried that with no luck.
I also tried commenting out the getURL(), but still no luck.
I get an error in Safari and in Firefox a message waiting for
www.salescloser.com...
Again, the .swf works when I test it within Flash.
Even without the second LoadVars, I still can't get it to work in the
browser. Do you think it's something to do with the ASPX script?

How do you post an array to a server side-script without loading the script's URL in the browser. I can post data using Ruby's Net::HTTP and it works great in a rails app. I want to do the same thing in Flash. LoadVars.send will only work if I load the script's URL into the browser. This would be fine if I controlled the script, but it's on another application server. I need to pass it the data in the background. I tried .sendAndLoad, but that has the same problems. Is there a simple way to do this? Can I use flash remoting and pass the data to a PHP script and make the post from there? I see there is a way to do this with Cold Fusion using the CF.http() method, so I assume there is something similar elsewhere. thanks. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] HTTP post request in the background
Here is what I have now with only the .send method.
I tried using sendAndLoad(url, null, POST)...as well as several
different ways.
This is my currently working version. I've commented out the parts
that I need to work. The function process the phone number and then
puts everything into a LoadVars array to send. Right now it's sending
it to a formmail.pl script which redirects you.
I need the LoadVars to be posted to the .aspx script. I don't need to
receive anything back.
function processForm() {
//process phone number
var full_phone_number = phone_tb.text;
split_number = full_phone_number.split();
for (var i = 0; isplit_number.length; i++) {
if (split_number[i] == \r ||
split_number[i] == \n ||
split_number[i] == \f ||
split_number[i] == \t ||
split_number[i] == ||
split_number[i] == - ||
split_number[i] == . ||
split_number[i] == ( ||
split_number[i] == )) {
//trace(Found a: + split_number[i]);
split_number.splice(i, 1);
i--;
} else {
if (split_number.length 7) {
//split into area code, prefix, and line number
var areacodea = split_number.slice(0,3);
var areacode = areacodea.join();
var prefixa = split_number.slice(3,6);
var prefix = prefixa.join();
var linenumbera = split_number.slice(6,10);
var linenumber = linenumbera.join();
//trace(3 parts + areacode + + prefix + +
linenumber);
} else {
// split into prefix and line number
var prefixa = split_number.slice(0,3);
var prefix = prefixa.join();
var linenumbera = split_number.slice(3,7);
var linenumber = linenumbera.join();
//trace(2 parts + prefix + + linenumber);
}
//number = split_number.join();
//trace(number);
}
}
errorVars = new LoadVars();
formData = new LoadVars();
formData.firstname = firstname_tb.text;
formData.lastname = lastname_tb.text;
formData.address = address_tb.text;
formData.city = city_tb.text;

[Flashcoders] setTextFormat in a V2 TextInput component
Does anyone know if it is possible to use setTextFormat on a V2 TextInput component? Browsing the mx.controls.TextInput class, it looks like there is a private reference to a TextField called label. Does anyone know if there is a way to target this directly from outside the component?

Yup, compiles if I just have:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class test extends Sprite {
public function test() {
}
}
}
which I guess means it's finding flash.display.Sprite ok?
David Peek
does it compile if you just have a simple hello world example, with
an empty constructor?

I'd followed various walkthroughs to the letter always with the

Installed xcode today so I could try a different approach, followed
Josh Buhlers excellent walkthrough, only to run into the same

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: Flex vs. Flash IDE
I have been reading this thread with some interest (occassionally cheering and sometimes getting upset). We are currently using the Beta to build an elearning application so I feel I have some useful insights into the differences between the two. Firstly I don't think the difference is as straight-forward as forms vs animation. Many of the things we build will require a blend. Certainly if I was doing anything with forms I'd much rather be building it in Flex. It is much faster to develop form based things in Flex. There is a level of functionality built into the Flex framework that would take many man hours to reproduce in Flash. On the other side I wouldn't want to do any frame based (as opposed to actionscript based ) animation in Flex. But there is a whole spectrum of things that sit between these two extremes. Anything that could be built using actionscript can be built in Flex and once you get used to the way Flex does things I think they can be built faster and that they will be more reliable. Also you can use your Flash built animations in Flex but I'm not sure how easily you could use your Flex built forms in Flash 9. Someone suggested that Adobe hasn't done a good job explaining the difference between the two. I can't see how you can say that. There has been a public beta available for over 6 months and a site almost entirely devoted to it. The Samples Explorer is as clear an explanation as any developer should need. The only way to really understand the difference is to attempt to build something with it. Someone suggests that Adobe's motivation in creating a seperate IDE is profit. But the framework itself is free. I actually don't like Eclipse myself and have been using a seperate editor for Flex development. I always used to use Sepy for my actionscript. But I still had to use Flash for compiling. Now I can compile from the editor. I think it will depend on your background which style of development you will prefer and I think it's great that Flash (as a platform) can be adapted to suit different needs and is open to Open Source options. I also don't think it's helpful to talk about the difference as designers vs developers. I don't think that Flex Builder is a designer free app. I can easily imagine a workflow where the designer prepares the layout and look of an area and then the developer connects the functionality to it. I think the biggest problem with the introduction of Flex is the learning curve. Flex is a new metaphor for Flash development and there is a lot to get used to. But some of that new knowledge is really about the radical changes in Actionscript 3. That is something that will effect all of us sooner or later as it will be part of Flash 9. It is AS3 rather than Flex that will increase the distance between designers and devlopers.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Flex vs. Flash IDE
I don't think it's a question good developer vs bad developer. The Flex metaphor was developed to be comfortable to developers coming from a non-Flash background. Most of us were attracted to Flash exactly because it wasn't like those environments. I think you're correct in saying that the existing documentation is written with non-Flash users in mind. Consequently a lot of Flash users may take a while to get it. I'm still struggling with some of the details. But I'm finding more and more situations where I'm asking myself ; is it really that easy. But it's taken me quite a few hours to get to that point. Bill Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/24/06 11:03 am Someone suggested that Adobe hasn't done a good job explaining the difference between the two.

The Samples Explorer is as clear an explanation as any developer should need. The only way to really understand the difference is to attempt to build something with it. While I think the concept of a beta program is great, I spent quite a few hours poring over the documentation, and followed a few tutorials, and I did not find the clear explanations I was hoping for. Maybe that makes me a bad developer. But I assume Adobe wants to sell to bad developers as well as good ones. :) This was a few months ago, so maybe things have improved. If I'm wrong, please point me to the documentation, FAQs, etc. from Adobe that clearly explain the diferences between Flex IDE and Flash IDE, or details about how to integrate Flex into my workflow. Maybe this is all coming after the release. Or maybe it's been added since I looked through the labs site. Where is the practical tutorial for Flash Developers who want to transition to Flex? I want to like Flex. I really do. I'm not trying to attack any Flex developers or any of the smart people who work at Macromedia/Adobe. I'm just sharing my personal observations around it so far. There's enough contradictory info in this thread alone to make me think they're not doing a good enough job getting the message out. The ongoing success of Flash is important to me personally, and to my career, so I that's why I've felt the need to say this. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] Active X and Microsoft IE ...
I actually think that the problem was that Adobe was too quick to respond. They've had a solution up since the first round of worry hit this forum. But I think it was so long ago that most forgot about it. Then when it hit the press again they didn't remind people firmly enough. They treated like the old news it was. Rather than the new news that most still think it is. Bill Lane Related question: Do you see reasons why so much of this conversation about ActiveX changes in the Microsoft browser has avoided the source material on the Adobe site?

RE: [Flashcoders] Active X and Microsoft IE ...
I haven't seen anyone mention this yet so maybe it has a downside I can't see. We're planning on using a noscript element inside the flashcontent div (using FlashObject) to add the Flash content. That way if javascript is disabled they will still get the Flash content. Only downside is they will have to select it to activate. But that seems better to me than having nothing for those with js turned off. Bill Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/10/06 6:24 am You also have to consider what users are turning off Javascript. First, Javascript is turned on by default. Second, you have to be somewhat savvy to know what Javascript is, much less turn it off, and also know what purpose turning it off serves. Third, you need to have a reason to turn it off. These things combined means that people who turn off Javascript are more than likely well aware of the consequences of this action, it's not just Flash that's effected. It's pretty much any plug-in and any DHTML site. Almost every site on the web uses Javascript now in some form or another. I wonder just how many people turn off Javascript and are they really worth going after? They obviously want a very limited and controlled web experience. It's like trying to advertise on cable television channels to people who only have antenna reception. You're just not going to reach that very small audience, so get over it. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

[Flashcoders] Re: Lines of code in a Flash project
Agreed, lines per hour is not a very valuable metric, but it's a relatively quick and easy metric to calculate. I remember reading somewhere that the average programmer writes about 10 lines of good production code per hour. I'm guessing this included all time for project coordination, architecture, documentation, revisions, builds, debugging, meetings, etc. Anyways, my query was just for personal curiosity and if anything a personal metric to gauge how I'm improving as a programmer over time — this is not some dubious new management method for gauging productivity — at least I hope not! So I guess I was hoping for some hidden feature in Flash's Project panel that would calculate the number of lines of code in a project, or some quick Flash Javascript API code sample that would do the same. I guess the quickest, simplest way is to just open each class and total the last line number. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
