[Flashcoders] EventController - AS3 Event Management
Hey guys I'm not sure if you have seen this yet or not but I wanted to share with the list. About 2 weeks ago some friends and I launched a site for our Event Management class we are calling EventController. You can check it out at http://fla.as/ec. I know there are a few others like this out there and even some other very cool other options like Robert Penners Signals but this is a much smaller library that gives some great options for all kinds of developers from novice to advanced. Things like event logging, clustering and advanced removing options with RegEx or by the object itself. I'd love for everyone to take a look and let me know what they think! Cheers! @corbanb ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] top down plane games
So I've been playing around with it some more and been getting a
little closer. But its still a ways off. The biggest issue with this
demo is that the plane catches the mouse before I reach the edges of
the map. I'm not sure what I can do next but thats where I am now. Its
funny to. About 20 mins after I posted this I decided to bite the
bullet and buy Keith's book. I'm going to open it tonight and see
where it gets me. If you guys have any more ideas please let me know!
Thanks!
What I've come up with so far is something like this...
var speed:Number = 2;
var turnRate:Number = .3;
var agroRange:Number = 500;
var moveX:Number = 0;
var moveY:Number = 0;
var distanceTotal:Number;
//stage vars
var minXMove:Number = 0;
var minYMove:Number = 0;
var maxXMove:Number = (levelMap.width - stage.stageWidth) * -1;
var maxYMove:Number = (levelMap.height - stage.stageHeight) * -1;
function movemap():void {
//move on x-axis
levelMap.x -= (moveX * 2);
if (levelMap.x >= minXMove) {
levelMap.x = minXMove;
//speedX *= -1;
}
if (levelMap.x <= maxXMove) {
levelMap.x = maxXMove;
//speedX *= -1;
}
//move on y-axis
levelMap.y -= (moveY * 2);
if (levelMap.y >= minYMove) {
levelMap.y = minYMove;
//speedY *= -1;
}
if (levelMap.y <= maxYMove) {
levelMap.y = maxYMove;
//speedY *= -1;
}
}
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, doFollow2);
//
// doFollow(follower, target)
// use ex: doFollow(myEnemyMovieClip, playerMovieClip)
//
function doFollow(e:Event) {
//calculate distance between follower and target
var distanceX:Number = mouseX - plane.x;
var distanceY:Number = mouseY - plane.y;
//get total distance as one number
distanceTotal = Math.sqrt((distanceX * distanceX) + (distanceY *
distanceY));
//check if target is within agro range
if(distanceTotal <= agroRange){
//calculate how much to move
var moveDistanceX:Number = turnRate * (distanceX/distanceTotal);
var moveDistanceY:Number = turnRate * (distanceY/distanceTotal);
//increase current speed
moveX += moveDistanceX;
moveY += moveDistanceY;
//get total move distance
var totalmove = Math.sqrt(moveX*moveX+moveY*moveY);
//apply easing
moveX = speed * (moveX/totalmove);
moveY = speed * (moveY/totalmove);
//move follower
plane.x += moveX;
plane.y += moveY;
//rotate follower toward target
plane.rotation = 180*Math.atan2(moveY, moveX)/Math.PI;
movemap();
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] top down plane games
thanks todd. thats what I have been doing for the most part. I'm
working on figuring out how to move the Camera sprite around on an
angle.
i've got script that makes the airplane point towards the mouse at all
times. but thats the easy part. now i need the Camera sprite to move
at a consistent rate at the same angle the plane is pointing. Just
can't see to figure out what it take to do that.
var minXMove:Number = 0;
var minYMove:Number = 0;
var maxXMove:Number = (levelMap.width - stage.stageWidth) * -1;
var maxYMove:Number = (levelMap.height - stage.stageHeight) * -1;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, pointAtCursor);
function movemap():void {
//move on x-axis
levelMap.x += speedX;
if (levelMap.x >= minXMove) {
levelMap.x = minXMove;
}
if (levelMap.x <= maxXMove) {
levelMap.x = maxXMove;
}
//move on y-axis
levelMap.y += speedY;
if (levelMap.y >= minYMove) {
levelMap.y = minYMove;
}
if (levelMap.y <= maxYMove) {
levelMap.y = maxYMove;
}
}
function pointAtCursor(e:Event) {
// get relative mouse location
var dx:Number = mouseX - plane.x;
var dy:Number = mouseY - plane.y;
speedX = (dx * -1);
speedY = (dy * -1);
// determine angle, convert to degrees
var cursorAngle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx);
var cursorDegrees:Number = 360*(cursorAngle/(2*Math.PI));
// point at cursor
plane.rotation = cursorDegrees;
plane.x -= (plane.x-mouseX) / 6;
plane.y -= (plane.y-mouseY) / 6;
movemap();
}
the hard part is getting the speedX and speedY to be numbers that
don't cause the map to fly to fast. Just not sure where to go from
here.

[Flashcoders] top down plane games
hey guys! I'm trying to build a simplified version of http://www.miniclip.com/games/skies-of-war/en/. Mostly looking to replicated the movement. But I have no ideas on where to start. I'm having alot of trouble setting the angles correctly to give the background a constant speed but allowing it to change angles. I understand its going to be based on the planes current angle. But that's where I get confused on getting the speeds to not over lap and making it seem like it moving faster.

[Flashcoders] effects theory? keeping processes low...
Hey guys I am working on a fullscreen flash site. I am hoping to bring
down the CPU cycles. Right now on the PC I'm using to test it on it
runs high like 90%. I was hoping there might be a way to bring down
the processor. But I have tried about everything. I'm not sure what I
could do to get it much lower. I'm sure there are a few pros out there
that would have a few ideas. Here is the page...
http://projectx4.com/site_test/. From all my tests it just seems like
moving that many large objects on the screen is just going to bring
the processor to its knees no matter what. Would any one have any
ideas how to help this at all?
Would doing some sort of bitmap object hack work either? Thanks for
the help in advance!
And Here is some code I have written to run the animation...
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*;
var shell:MovieClip = this;
var maxOrbs:Number = 10;
var numOrbs:Number;
function animateOrb(mc:MovieClip):void
{
mc.orbTween = TweenLite.to(mc, 1, { alpha: 1 });
mc.orbTween = TweenLite.to(mc, mc.ranTime, { x: mc.moveToX,
ease:Linear.easeNone, overwrite: false });
mc.orbTween = TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {delay: mc.ranTime-1, alpha: 0,
onComplete: removeOrb, onCompleteScope: shell, onCompleteParams: [mc],
overwrite: false});
}

numOrbs = 0; //reset count

[Flashcoders] AS3 - first site
Hey guys I am having some issues with understanding AS3 and how all my
scope etc works. Can I get some type of explanation on this. Below is
some code I am trying to use in my first AS3 project but I can't seem
to get a few things to work out.
The problem I see is that since my pictLdr is being put in the slide
it inherits the slide's click event. But I don't want the pictLdr to
have a click event I just want the slide (container) to have the
event. When the pictLdr gets clicked now I am returned with a name
value for the pictLdr but I only want the name of the slide since it
will have the 'num' var in it and can tell me its position in the
slide list. But pictLdr can't.
I hope what I am asking makes sense. But I am slightly confused on all
this. I understand why pictLdr is getting the event now since its part
of the slide and with the new event model this is possible. But with
my old AS2 mind I can't work around on how I am supposed to work
through this. Please help! Thanks!
function createSlides(slides:Array):void {
var totalSlides:Number = slides.length;
//trace(totalSlides);
//create container to hold all the clips
for (var i:int = 0; i < totalSlides; i++) {
//trace(slides[i].num + " " + slides[i].pages[0]);
var slide:SlideContainer = new SlideContainer();
slide.x = 130;
slide.y = -180 + (320 * i);//position slide along the y-axis
slide.num = i;
slide.name = "slide" + i;
slide.buttonMode = true;
slide.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicked);
container.addChildAt(slide, i);//container for each of the
slides and is a MC
//this will hold additional info like a background for the
images and a holder
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
pictLdr.x = 22;
pictLdr.y = 19;
pictLdr.name = "img";
slide.addChild(pictLdr);//code works fine if I addChild here.
var pictURL:String = "gallery/" + slides[i].pages[0];//path to
a jpg
for the gallery
var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pictURL);
pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);
pictLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
imgLoaded);
}
}

[Flashcoders] world clock - revisited
Hey all,
because of the daylight savings time going on across the world I was
having trouble with the world clocks I setup for a client. I tried to
implement the code below but was un succesful to do it correctly
apparently. Does anyone have any working examples of this. And if so
do you mind sharing? Thanks ALL!!

hey Brian I put one together a while back. Comboxes are the biggest pain IMO but anyway. You can find the one i made on my blog at: http://blog.projectx4.com/2008/01/31/quick-lil-combo-box/. It should be pretty straight forward when you download it to see how it works. And you should be able to extended very easily also. If you do will you let me know.

[Flashcoders] scroll bars and live search
Ok so if one of you built this its great! But it made me think about scrolling in flash and how much of a pain it has been. But this blog: http://www.hornallanderson.com/#/blog/ has done an amazing job. And it raised a few questions. Is this just a reskin of the new v3 components? And has anyone built something like this in AS2. I am thinking of getting started on a simple prototype but we will see. Also how would you go about doing a live search like they have done in their blog? Is this one using some type of word press tool like this: http://swx-wordpress.artillery.ch/. And then going from there.

Re: [Flashcoders] Google Analytics ga.js Update
I was trying to make it an easy call to the function from anywhere in
the site. Thats why I created the function. I was hoping to just keep
from having to write both lines all over the site.

Hey guys I was working on updating my script for the new Google

My actionscript:

}
tracking("/flash/home");
Google's Javascript:
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
"https://ssl."; : "http://www.";);
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost +

Re: [Flashcoders] 4x3 laptop to a 16x9 tv

encoding is a life saver! why does adobe even have there own FLV

Re: [Flashcoders] 4x3 laptop to a 16x9 tv
thanks. I'm going to test some things out. I did have things set like...
fscommand("fullscreen","true");
fscommand("allowscale","false");
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
it is an exe that they are running also.
here is the animation...
http://thebhatch.com/uniden/ces/dect.swf
the actual movie is 800x600 so I've just been using a background thats huge
so it will just center the content wherever its placed. and the background
will look stretched from top to bottom...
oh and if any knows why I can't get the video in the background to look
smooth also that would be nice. thanks! right now its a 1280x720 mov thats
converted to the same but an FLV at a 1800 bitrate and its still pixelating!
its driving me nuts too. sigh* back from the holidays.

hey guys, I'm working on a flash piece to be displayed on a 16x9 television but the laptop our client is using is 4x3.

I have wrote a few of them but i can't get anything to work all that wonderful! Thanks!

[Flashcoders] animation tips?
First of all woohoo! FC is back online! I love it!
Ok so I have a question I'm hoping you guys can help answer for me. I'm
wanting to animate more or less a sine curve line from one point to the next
over like 2 secs or something. Right now I just have it being drawn from the
drawing API but I'd really like to animate its motion. What are my options I
can't wait to hear from you guys thanks!
here is what I have done so far:
function drawLine() {
worldMap.createEmptyMovieClip("connection",this.getNextHighestDepth());
worldMap.connection.lineStyle(1,0xFFA100,100);
worldMap.connection.moveTo(worldMap.UK._x, worldMap.UK._y);
worldMap.connection.curveTo(worldMap.UK._x+200, worldMap.UK._y-80,
worldMap.taiwan._x, worldMap.taiwan._y);
worldMap.connection.lineTo(worldMap.taiwan._x, worldMap.taiwan._y);

[Flashcoders] disappearing menu????
Sorry for the double post but i quickly realized if I comment out the code
in my script for moving the menu the problem is fixed so it has something to
do with all of this code moving the menu... here is what I am doing...
var menuOut:Boolean = false;
btnHolder.onEnterFrame = function(){
minY = 455 - this._height; //done in the on enterframe for the menu to
get the height after all items have been loaded into it
maxY = 6;
//trace(minY);
Move the img menu up and down
yMov = (230 - _ymouse)/100*10;
//sliding the menu this is where the BIG error occurs in OSX only and
the menu apparently slide off the screen
//if this block is commented out it stays on the screen but i still need
to get the menu to slide
// ANYONE have some help for me here
yMov = (230 - _ymouse)/100*10;
if(_xmouse >= 8 && _xmouse <= 120 && _ymouse >= 230){
//trace(yMov);
if(this._y - yMov > minY){
this._y += yMov;
}else{
this._y = minY;
}
}else if(_xmouse >= 8 && _xmouse <= 120 && _ymouse <= 230){
//trace(yMov);
if(this._y + yMov < maxY){
this._y += yMov;
}else{
this._y = maxY;
}
}
// OPENING AND CLOSING img nav /
if(_xmouse >= 107 && menuOut == false){
//trace("OPENING");
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("open");
menuOut = true;
}else if(_xmouse < 8 && menuOut == true){
//trace("CLOSING");
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("close");
menuOut = false;
}
}
in the code above you can see where i am sliding the btnHolder but for some
reason when its in the browser it all goes to hell. anyone have any ideas
whe might be causeing it to jump off screen when the browser loses focus?

[Flashcoders] *** BUG or just plain weird!!!
ok guys I am having the most insanly weird problem. I just started programming on a mac and testing on one. recently i built a pretty basic menu that uses xml to load some thumbnails into a scrolling menu. its a great expandable reusable menu. anyway once i published it and ran it in the browser everything went to $h!t. For some reason whenever I am using the site and i click out of the browser to another app and the flash looses focus the entire menu disappears. just gone... poof... but nothing around it goes away. WHY?!?!? i cannot figure it out. can anyone please help me with this. its really only in osx and wither safari or firefox. i attached a link to a zip that has the necessary files. if you just drag the 'swf' to a browser window you can see it happen. but it will not do it in the IDE. ANYONE have any ideas? thanks! my last explanation might be something quirky with how I am moving the menu with the _y mouse pos. http://www.projectx4.com/quick_files/dissappearing_menu.zip -- -cb ___ 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] least to greatest

If you want to sort in accending order or descending order as well the if

sign. There are ways of speeding this function up you can put in a
variable
that checks to see if you made any changes to the array with each pass
If no changes were made then array is sorted. But I might not bother with
this step for only 10 variables.

[Flashcoders] webservices secure/unsecure
Hey guys I have a huge issue that I am trying to work through right now with
a secure web services call. Ok so here is the situation.
On server "A" I have all my swfs calling the webservice
Server A is an unsecure server
On server "B" I have my PHP and SOAP files that are used for the web
service.
Server B is a secure non-self signing server
When attempting to connect the swf on server A to the data on server B the
connection never accepts when trying to start the webserviceconnector. But
if I place server A's files on a different server we will call server C that
is the same as server B that is a completely different url then server B it
will connect and transfer data just fine. I have done everything I can think
of with the crosdomain.xml files and the:
System.security.allowDomain("*");
System.security.loadPolicyFile("
https://www.mysecuredomain.com/crossdomain.xml";);
etc...
I have watch nike.com store work going this route but we cannot duplicate
the process with our tests. We have to have the swf domain remain unsecure
and have it connect to the secure domain. Does anyone have ideas or
experiece with these issues?
In a few cases I have read it does not work with the webServicesConnector
component but it should work doing it by importing the component via
actionscript. This is our companies first attempt at trying to accompish
this feat but nothing seems to work out. Not sure if its a domain issue or
browser security issue or flash security issue. Thanks for any help you guys
can give.

function getRandomNums(){

while(newNum == lastNum){
newNum = random(loopNum);

That was what I wanted to do but maybe since its in a 72dpi world it's a no can do. That's where I was hoping to get some where with out of my post btw. But I guess some things just get in the way and life doesn't work out. 4. That leaves me with... Well guys I will be off the list for a while I am taking on a new job with tribalddb.com. Wish me luck. And Steve you can have sometime off from lazy boys like me. Ha ha j/k ok maybe not. ok maybe.

And who said a little bitching gets us no where. I am not sure what saved the b/w issue because it prints in color now fine. So it was a simple fix.

How bout it anyone have some good > ideas for this > first time PrintJob I am doing??? Thanks to you all! Ok this is a valid question. You're having a specific problem implementing code. Being technical is what this list is all about. First off, I suggest printing a movieclip and not the stage. So, put your card into the movieclip and specify that as the target instead of the root. Next, the reason you're getting something large is because of how Flash prints pixels. You're printing 675x425. At 72dpi, that's going to be 9.4x5.9 inches. If you put your card into a movieclip you can scale down your movieclip prior to printing. Important to note that even if you scale it down, PrintJob.addPage() wants you to pass it the original width and height of the movieclip prior to scaling even though it will print the scaled version. Hopefully this will solve your skewing issue, as well. I'm not entirely sure why you're only getting black and white unless some preference for your printer on the Print Dialog window is defaulting to print only black and white (draft perhaps). You can save yourself ink and paper by printing to a Microsoft Document Image file (.mdi) and preview your results there (if you're on Windows). When the print dialog opens, choose Microsoft Office Document Image Writer as your printer. ___ 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

pj.send();
}
delete pj;

All I get is a overly huge image in black/white that for some unknown
reason is skewed also. How bout it anyone have some good ideas for this

Are you kidding me? Open the Help panel in Flash and search for
"print".
It's not egotistical to point out that you're being lazy. Did you even
GOOGLE it?
#2 listing on google for the search "printing in flash"
http://www.devx.com/webdev/Article/27318
It is a jerk off question to ask something this simple without first
searching in Flash and the web for your answer. Hence, read the
freaking
manual. But, since you're intent on not doing any footwork on your own,
here is the tutorial that is found inside Flash from the help panel.
Step
by step instructions.
Building a print job
To build a print job, you use functions that complete the tasks in the
order
outlined in this section. The sections that follow the procedure provide
explanations of the functions and properties associated with the
PrintJob
object.
Because you are spooling a print job to the user's operating system
between
your calls to PrintJob.start() and PrintJob.send(), and because the
PrintJob
functions might temporarily affect the Flash Player internal view of
onscreen Flash content, you should implement print-specific activities
only
between your calls to PrintJob.start() and PrintJob.send(). For example,
the
Flash content should not interact with the user between PrintJob.start()
and
PrintJob.send(). Instead, you should expeditiously complete formatting
of
your print job, add pages to the print job, and send the print job to
the
printer.
To build a print job:
Create an instance of the print job object: new PrintJob().
Start the print job and display the print dialog box for the operating
system: PrintJob.start(). For more information, see Starting a print
job.
Add pages to the print job (call once per page to add to the print job):
PrintJob.addPage(). For more information, see Adding pages to a print
job.
Send the print job to the printer: PrintJob.send(). For more
information,
see Sending the print job to the printer.
Delete the print job: delete PrintJob. For more information, see
Deleting
the print job.
The following example shows ActionScript that creates a print job for a
button:
myButton.onRelease = function()
{
var my_pj = new PrintJob();
var myResult = my_pj.start();
if(myResult){
myResult = my_pj.addPage (0, {xMin : 0, xMax: 400, yMin: 0,
yMax: 400});
myResult = my_pj.addPage ("myMovieClip", {xMin : 0, xMax: 400,
yMin: 400, yMax: 800},{printAsBitmap:true}, 1);
myResult = my_pj.addPage (1, null,{printAsBitmap:false}, 2);
myResult = my_pj.addPage (0);
my_pj.send();
}
delete my_pj;
}
Only one print job can run at any given time. A second print job cannot
be
created until one of the following events has happened with the previous
print job:
The print job was entirely successful and PrintJob.send() method was
called.
The PrintJob.start() method returned a value of false.
The PrintJob.addPage() method returned a value of false.
The delete PrintJob method has been called.

[Flashcoders] HOW TO: Print a MC - first try.
Hey guys I am looking to find a few good examples and maybe get some of you to share a few good ideas. I am needing to setup up an online membership card that will have multiple dynamic parts from a user image to member number, name etc. That part will be easy to display but what is the best way to capture this image to set to print. I really want the easiest way but best way also. Can I just capture the MC and print it. Can I capture it as a JPEG or what is the best... flash paper? PDF? I would really appreciate any ideas/tutorials you all could help me out with before I start this project.

[Flashcoders] styleSheets and Links
Does anyone have some good examples of Flash using CSS to stylize links with
hover properties etc. I can't seem to get my color to work properly.
[code]
//first try at this one
var style_sheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
style_sheet.setStyle("a",
{ color: "#CC",
fontFamily: "Verdana, sans-serif",
fontSize: "11px",
display: "inline"}
);
//attach movie BG
this.attachMovie("button_mc", "link_1", 2);
//add text field to button_mc clip
link_1.createTextField("my_title", 3, 1, 2, 0, 30);
link_1.my_title.autoSize = "center";
//apply style
link_1.my_title.styleSheet = style_sheet;
//add link
link_1.my_title.html = true;
link_1.my_title.htmlText="hey world!";
//find width of text
trace(link_1.my_title._width);
//resize bg for text - 49 is used for the extra pixel width added to the field.
link_1.button_bg._width = link_1.my_title._width + 49;
trace(link_1.button_bg._width);
//center link in BG area...
link_1.my_title._x = 25;
[/code]
Also how do I implement hovers when I do, do it?

[Flashcoders] dynamic text field width
Hey guys just a quick question about creating dynamic text fields. I am working on a horizontal scrolling menu that uses xml to store url's and website titles that will be used to create a menu. Below is example XML. http://www.google.com /> http://www.msn.com /> http://www.yahoo.com /> etc What I want to do is place the "title" in a dynamic text field and create a button around that text field. Problem is I need to determine the width of the text field by the length of the string so the buttons can vary in size. Cause "google" is a lot longer than "MSN" etc.. |___|_title_|___| - Example button.. the blank area would be extend area for the hit state. So is there a way to adjust the text field width to the length of the string? I hope this makes enough sense to get the question answered. If you need more help let me know and I will put together some kind of a test to show. I have tried but not really getting the results I want. Thanks all!

RE: [Flashcoders] scope of function... undefined?
Well guys thanks for all the help! Everything is starting to work
besides one step. Which makes me wonder why Macromedia had it possible
to give a jpg a linkage id and it won't even work. I had all this going
all the scope in place and guess what it still didn't work. So then I
went back though all 106 images I had already given linkage ids to and
had to delete the linkage id and then make the image a movie clip and
give that one the correct linkage id. Anyway you guys rock! Thanks
again!
But why won't linkage id's work on jpgs and they give you the option?

RE: [Flashcoders] this[rfcClip].container.attachMovie[imgID];
So this is what happened...
trace("imgID: "+imgID); //returns layout5_set3_img10
trace("rfcClip: "+rfcClip); //returns lay5_img10
trace(this[rfcClip]); //returns undefined
trace(this); //returns undefined
and this will sound stuipid but wtf does all that mean? How can the loadImages
function have and undefined scope?

C'mon Corban - you can do this - don't get frustrated and ask us to do
everything ;) - walk back a little in your code. What does trace(rfcClip) show?
That should be the same name as your clip.
What does trace(this) show in your loadImages function show? That should be
the same timeline as the clip you are targeting...
I know you're frustrated, don't give up. Just a little logic with trace
statements will show you where you are going wrong.

RE: [Flashcoders] this[rfcClip].container.attachMovie[imgID];
Really. Whats sad is I really don't know how all this works. I have been coding
AS1 for about 2 years now and I have gotten this far without really know much
besides understanding basic logic really well. I don't mean to ask a lot of
questions I am just at one of those humps in my learning that I need a little
insight into what's possible.
I never knew I could get different scopes by tracing(this)... Interesting
stuff. I am going to look more but sorry if I have to ask...

Have been out of the loop since yesterday, but again, some proper tracing
should knock this down.
Instead of tracing
trace("rfcClip: "+rfcClip+" - typeof("+typeof (rfcClip)+")");
(ick!)
do:
trace(this[rfcClip])
In your code, you have rfcClip as just a string, so no, it's not going to be a
movie clip until you do this[rfcClip] - which you should trace to see if its
resolving to an actual clip.

[Flashcoders] this[rfcClip].container.attachMovie[imgID];
Hey guys I am working on this project still that is doing a whole lot of random things. Since I have not converted over to AS2 yet I am having some problems with doing this... "this[rfcClip].container.attachMovie[imgID];" the rfcClip and the imgID variables are pulling from arrays and seem to trace perfect but for some reason the clip's are not showing up nor attaching to my stage. I was hoping someone could take a quick look at the file and tell me what they think might be the problem. I have uploaded a zip with the FLA to my dev server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! http://webdev.funimation.com/fun2004/coders/s3.zip - FLA file Problem occurs in the loadImage function on frame 9 line 51. This function is called though an interval at the end of each marker: ie marker: lay_1, lay_2 etc... //cb ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

They lie in
wait like wolves, the smell of blood in their nostrils. And then!
Whammy. I'm willing to bet you've had bugs because of this in the past,
and the sooner you get down with the var-ness, the better.
Anyway i'm just sleepy so don't think i'm trying to tell you off. I'm
just pointing out shit that really killed my head back around flash 5 up
til late MX, and
i feel your pain.

RE: [Flashcoders] understanding the for loop - EXTENDED HELP NEEDED.
Well it's kind of working. I'd love to have some help on this to get me
going correctly. So with that said I'll try and explain what this is.
Ok so we are creating a screensaver that has 5 img layouts/templates
with different numbers of images per layout but they have empty MC's in
place to place the images later.
For each template we have created sets of images to choose from that
will be placed in each template. These images have linkage id's in the
lib.
What we want to do is select a random "LAYOUT" (template). Then select
images for each position in the layout/template at random from a set of
images designed for each template. So with that said it's a mouth full.
What I thought I could do is generate all this random stuff and create
an array from it that stores my images to be used. Then I need to
generate a list of MC's to place these images into. Which is more or
less determined in each template but each template has a different # of
images in it.
NEXT issue is this. Once I have both array's one of "linkage id's" for
the template and another array that holds my "MC references". I want to
load these images into the corresponding MC but in another random order.
(I know I know but we don't ever want ANYTHING to look the same twice).
So what I will have to do is then figure out a decent way to get the
loading to work without killing myself.
Now my new problem is flash is telling me my function "createMCrfcs " is
some sorta infinite loop and can't finish the task. Which makes no sense
cause I am more or less doing the same thing above. But what ever. I
hope this makes sense and someone can throw some insight to me after
typing all this! Thanks for listening boys!

Nah, don't be silly. ;) I spent a little more digging and found it: In the getSetsNLayout function, you have: gatherImages4Layout(totalSets, layoutNum); But there is no "totalSets". It should be this instead: gatherImages4Layout(totalSetsNLayout, layoutNum); You just need a little more practice tracing values, and you can find stuff like this. I don't mean that as condescending, don't take it that way. But this is just a matter of tracing exact variables and finding back where things are breaking.

Yeah - first part of is probably that your use of random is... well...
incorrect.
Math.random() retruns a random number of 0.0 or between 0.0 and 1.0.
You should convert it to a whole number first.
function getRandom(min:Number, max:number){
return min+Math.floor(Math.random()*(max+1-min));
}
The other part is that you're overwriting the img variable:
img = random(imagesToGrab)+1;
img = "layout" + layoutNum + "_set" + randomSet + "_img" + i;
So in effect, the first value of img is replaced in the second line.

RE: [Flashcoders] understanding the for loop
Here is a better idea of what I need I think I posted the code off a little...
[code]
imgArray = new Array();
for(i=0; i<=imagesToGrab; i++){
randomSet = random(totalSetsNLayout) + 1; //totalSetsNLayout = 4
//shouldn't i get a random number between 1-4?
trace("randomSet: " + randomSet);
img = "layout" + layoutNum + "_set" + randomSet + "_img" + i;
imgArray.push(img);
}
trace("imgArray: " + imgArray);
[/code]
[output]
layoutNum: 4
totalSetsNLayout: 3
imagesToGrab: 6
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
randomSet: 1 //needs to be random
imgArray =
[layout4_set1_img0,layout4_set1_img1,layout4_set1_img2,layout4_set1_img3,layout4_set1_img4,layout4_set1_img5,layout4_set1_img6]
[/output]
so why is the randomSet never random?

Ok guys I am working with this for loop to help me grab random images. My
problem is it seems like the for loop won't reset and random var each time
it runs. Below is my code...
[code]
for(i=0; i<=imagesToGrab; i++){
randomSet = random(totalSetsNLayout) + 1;
img = random(imagesToGrab)+1;
img = "layout" + layoutNum + "_set" + randomSet + "_img" + i;

layout5_set1_img7,
layout5_set1_img8,
layout5_set1_img9,
layout5_set1_img10,
layout5_set1_img11]
as you can see my problem is that it doesn't change my set randomly at all?
Any ideas why this happens?

RE: [Flashcoders] except onRelease
That's retarded. But thanks for the insight. So I changed the code to attach a
MC for the library that had another MC inside to load the img into and it
worked fine. So all is good again today. Thanks!

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] except onRelease
hi Corban,
> this[charThumb_MC].loadMovie(charThumb);
loadMovie is delayed until all scripts in the frame have finished, so
you assign the onRelease to a movieclip that will be replaced by a
newly loaded one moments later.
use a container to load it into, and assign your onRelease to the container.
btw, createEmptyMovieClip returns a reference to the new clip, very
useful if you don't want to type this[charThumb_MC] over and over
again:
var clip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(charThumb_MC, this.getNextHighestDepth());
clip._x = ...

[Flashcoders] except onRelease
Guys can you tell me why this entire block of code work in F8 except the part
where it hits the onRelease its like it doesn't even make it a button when
applied. Any ideas?
buildCharMenu = function(totalChars, setNum){
setMax = setNum * 5;
trace("setMax: " + setMax); //if set is 1 this returns 4
setMin = setMax - 5; //limits total created in set to be 5

[Flashcoders] f8 preloader
Hey guys I am trying to paste some preloader code from a f6 project into an f8
project but its acting really weird. The traces I have put in for watching my
percent grow don't even begine to trace until about 46%. I figured it would be
some kind of issue with exporting to first frame stuff but I have none of that
in the project. And the graphic I have on the first frame are like 1/10 of the
total size of the project. Anyone know why this code might not work right in
f8. Can I not run traces right away with code in f8? Weird stuff...
[code on first frame]
preloader_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
totalNum = getBytesTotal();
loadedNum = getBytesLoaded();
trace("loadedNum: "+loadedNum);
trace("totalNum: "+totalNum);
percent = Math.round((loadedNum/totalNum)*100);
trace("percent:"+percent);
if (percent == 100) {
trace("PLAY!!!");
preloader_mc.percent_txt.text = "100";
//preloader_mc._yscale = 100;
//preloader_mc._xscale = 100;
play();
} else if (percent > 0) {
preloader_mc.percent_txt.text = percent;
//preloader_mc._yscale = percent;
//preloader_mc._xscale = percent;
}
};
stop();
[/code on first frame]
