[Flashcoders] Better XML parsin
Hello everyone, There has to be a better way to parse XML. Using for loops seems antiquated. Could I do a while loop and cycle through all the possible nodes? What else is out there for parsing XML in a cleaner fashion?

[Flashcoders] zoomin'
Have a look at this: www.rpa.com Interesting concept. My question is merely on the zooming; zooming elements from far to wide. I like this a lot. I know it might be a bit of a challenge for me, but i'm willing to try it. If someone could point me in the direction of some conceptual ideas that would be fantastic.

Re: [Flashcoders] Eclipse Assistance (beginner)
No Java unforunately. I have the plugs for eclipse. they seem to work well. I just have my projects setup all wrong. using import com.mproject.somefile.as doesn't work. AND in the projects folder on the left i don't just see code files, I see the .fla's the .swf's etc. so I know i have something wrong here... =\ osflash isn't very helpful. i tried, but it doesn't go through and show you how to setup a project. fM On 7/15/06, Ed Staub [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Flash Mel, I'm maybe one step ahead of you here. I was watching the responses, hoping to learn something. No such luck. It looks to me like you probably come from a Java background - yes? Here's what I THINK is true - hopefully this will provoke someone to correct me who knows more. Take everything here with a grain of salt. 1.) The best Flash debugger for normal development is, unfortunately, Macromedia's. There are none in the Eclipse plug-ins. 2.) For unit testing, the most-recommended component seems to be As2Unit. I haven't tried it. It's only available in compiled form, which gives me pause. This seems to be the most-recommended package, but there are many others. One that appears to have quite a bit of momentum is AsUnit (http://asunit.org/) - I'd definitely check it out. If you find something you like, please drop me a line. 3.) I didn't see which plug-in you're using. I tried FDT, since several sites will tell you it's the best plug-in for AS development, but have a few issues: a. It's a commercial product - they want around $250 for it. There's a 30-day trial b. Nothing's been updated since last fall. c. It has a problem with F8 library organization - it doesn't support the automatic switch-in of F8 or F7 depending on context. d. The web site is slow to the point of unusability - I think it is severely throttled. e. Email bounces f. Given the state of the website, I'd be scared to death to try to pay by credit card there. Based on all this, I switched to FlashDevelop (not Eclipse at all - it's .NET, in fact!). So far, so good - it's fast, slick, intuitive, and there appears to be quite a bit of developer momentum in plugins, etc. In trying to find out what's going on, keep a close eye on WHEN something was recommended. What was best a year ago often isn't the best now.

I had a question about this. There is a solution in the archives (http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/htdig/flashcoders/2002-December/056558.html) where someone used onEnterFrame. That solution was back in 2002. Is there a better alternative now? My question is two-fold: Is it possible to determine if the stage is resizing larger? smaller? only height? only width?

[Flashcoders] Fitting text characters to an area
This is similar to the thread about fitting boxes to an area.
I've got this:
MovieClip.prototype.FadeIn = function() {
this._alpha = randomBetween(-200, 0);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha 100) {
this._alpha += 10;
}
};
};
function randomBetween(a, b) {
return Math.min(a, b) + random(Math.abs(a - b) + 1);
}
var textMessage = Very long string here. Pellentesque habitant morbi
tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Nulla
ullamcorper. Praesent nunc nisi, lacinia at, mattis eget, blandit a, lacus.

Proin cursus mi ac erat. Nunc vel purus. Morbi mauris. Vivamus mauris.
Vestibulum posuere interdum nunc. Sed ac ante sed nulla tempus adipiscing.;
var positioning = 60;
var letterSpacing = 30;
for (i = 0; i textMessage.length; i++) {
var mc = textToDuplicate.duplicateMovieClip(letterDuplicate + i, i);
mc._x = positioning;
mc.WhatLetter = textMessage.charAt(i);
mc.FadeIn();
positioning += letterSpacing;
}
Works fine if it's one line, but how to make this wrap in a give area? Is
it possible to adapt the code given for the previous question of how to fit
squares in an area?
Thanks much.

[Flashcoders] Displaying objects
Ok, since my email got through this morning, I'm hoping this one gets
through. Here is the question I've emailed four times now. Doesn't show up
in the threads.
Here we go:
Here is what I have so far:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
m = 0;
numTiles = 112;
function placeTiles() {
if (m == numTiles){
m = 0;
clearInterval(buildTiles);
} else {
_root.attachMovie(square, tile + m + _mc, m, {_x:m % 14 * 50,
_y:Math.floor(m / 14) * 50});
myObj = tile + m + _mc;
new Tween(_root[myObj], _alpha, Regular.easeInOut, 0, 100, 35,
false);
_root[myObj].number_text.text = m;
m++;
}
}
buildTiles = setInterval(placeTiles, 30);
This works fine. Builds the rows one after another. But what I am trying
to do is build one row across and one down. Make sense?
In essence, the final display and position of the objects will be:
123
456
789
The sequence I am after:
1
then
12
4
then
123
45
7
and so on
123
456
78

Re: [Flashcoders] Displaying objects
Thanks John,
This is great! When I trace this, it works. I've applied it to my code,
and I think I have added something wrong. What happens is that all the
elements just build in a single area.
Here is what I had in the previous code:
http://www.apt11.com/test/test.html
Essentially, I need 0 to display, then 1, 14 then 2, 15, 28 and
so on.
Am I not applying your code correctly? My apologies for the bumbling and
thanks for the help.

[Flashcoders] Random Objs and Placement
Not sure how to title this email. I am in search of a concept. What I want to do is take several objs - squares of varying sizes - then have them placed on the stage forming a mosaic grid of some sort. Maybe some spacing in there. Anyway, I'm thinking I need to take this approach: //pseudo code below createEmptyMovieClip(box_mc, getNextHighestDepth()); duplicate box_mc and randomly place them in locations off the stage then have those clips come in and form the mosaic. Now I think that idea works if all the box_mc clips were the same size. For clips of different sizes, I'm thinking I need to add collision detection just in case they stop on top of each other. But how far over should it move it they touch? And which way should they move (if they are touching the left,bottom, top, right side)? Etc. Lots of questions. Writing it now, just also seeing if someone else has more input or even a suggested site to look at for ideas or demos.

They want it published in Flash 6. From what I was reading the new

I've found very little info on the DepthManager class. afaik, you need
to increment the kTop property when you use it:
var new_mc = myMovie.createObject(__rowRenderer, new_mc,
DepthManager.kTop++, {owner:this, styleName:this});
At the same time I find it useful to get the next highest depth of the
movieclip I want to be over. This next statement adds the movieclip to
myMovie at myMovies's next highest depth. So if myMovie has one other
object on it at depth 1 then myMovie.getNextHighestDepth() returns 2.
var new_mc = myMovie.createObject(__rowRenderer, new_mc,
myMovie.getNextHighestDepth(), {owner:this, styleName:this});
I've had problems using _root.getNextHighestDepth() in a class. It stops
at a certain number and any new movieclips replace the movie that is at
the same depth.
if createObject is not available (for use mostly with components) use
attachMovie in it's place...

Hey Mel,
Take a look at the DepthManager. You can use it for exactly what you
are trying to do. The catch is that you have to instantiate the
MovieClips you want to use via actionscript with the DepthManager
functions. Remember to do this because the DepthManager needs to
keep track of all elements you want to sort. Then all you have to do
is use the constants DepthManage.kTop, DepthManage.kBottom, etc. The
manager sorts its children instances using these constants by putting
each call to kTop in depth 201 and then moving the rest down
sequentially (actually vice versa).
Hope this helps,

Hello,
I have another question for the group:
I was using this...
for (var i in this) {
if (typeof (this[i]) == movieclip) {
trace(movie clip '+this[i]._name+' is at depth
+this[i].getDepth()*-1);
}
}
...to discover the depth of the movieclips I have on the stage.
Then I wrote this...
postcard_amt = [1, 2, 3];
for (i=0; ipostcard_amt.length; i++) {
postcard_itm = postcard+i+_mc;
_root[postcard_itm].onPress = function(){
trace(this.getDepth());
}
}
...to specifially single out the _mc's I wanted.
Not sure if that is the best way to write it, but that's not my
question
(althought I am open to more efficient ways).
/*
My question:
What is the best approach to finding the highest depth, the middle
depth and
the lowest depth?
*/
Backstory:
Ideally, what I will be doing is swapDepths() with these _mc's and
reshuffling them accordingly.
if original state is...
1
2
3
...onEvent...
2
3
1
...then another Event...
3
1
2
...and so on.
Thanks for the advice,

[Flashcoders] String problems?
I am writing this wrong:
controller_mc.attachMovie(gallery_mc, gallery_mc, 50);
theGallery = controller_mc.gallery_mc;
gallery_contains = 4;
for (i = 0; igallery_contains; i++){
num = img_+i;
theGallery.num._alpha = 0;
trace(num);
}
gallery_mc has _mc's in it named, img_0, img_1, img_2, img_3.

Re: [Flashcoders] Preloading content in background
Was this ever resolved? It turns out I am trying to do the same thing, but the problem I am running into is that - while it loads all the elements - it also starts playing all of them. I'm using Bokel's loaderCLass and I dabbled with the extension of that class from Tin Lion. Both work well, I just don't want the files to execute when they are finished loading. I just need everything loaded so when a user does click to that particular section, the .swf loads and starts playing without the need of the preloader. Paul, have you been able to successfully get this to work? Anyone else? thanks. Paul Steven wrote: Thanks for all the great replies. To be honest the pages are all less than 100kb each so I don't think the client will pay up to come up with any ingenius preloader solutions:) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
