[Flashcoders] AS2 Dispatch Custom Event of loaded clip
I have the following: code.customApplication.load(mySWF.swf, myClip_mc); now the custom application does not dispatch any events such as onComplete, this wasnt built in the original application so what I want to do is dispatch an event from mySWF.swf but of course when it is loaded into myClip_mc the ability to add the event listeners is not there since they are not part of myClip_mc but of mySWF.swf. Is there anyway to go around it? I know one way to do it is to have an onEnterFrame checking for one of the properties of mySWF.swf once is loaded TIA... ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 Dispatch Custom Event of loaded clip
Hi Juan, Thanks for the tip, it does makes sense since I had to create something similar in a different application in AS3 and your sample works just as expected. Thanks again, Helmut On Sat, Aug 16, 2008 at 5:42 PM, Juan Pablo Califano [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Assuming that modifying the custom application is not possible, but that you can change mySWF.swf, you can use an event manager that acts as a proxy for dispatching events. So, instead of dispatching the event directly from your object, you use the service of a third party. You register to that same third party to listen for events. In order to get it working, you have to make sure that you have just one of these proxies, so you could use a singleton. Really, that's like using a global object, but nevertheless a bit more clean than a plain old enter frame to check whether a propertie is defined, IMHO. In code, it could be something like this: (I'm using GDispatcher, and I'd advise you to use it as well as it has more features than the mx.events.EventDispatcher class, but if you want to go with the mx class, just change the function declarations accordingly, and adjust the parameters in addEventListener when registering for some event) import com.gskinner.events.GDispatcher; class EventManagerProxy { /* event dispatcher API declarations */ public function addEventListener(sEvt:String,oHandler:Object,sFnc:String):Void {} public function removeEventListener(sEvt:String,oHandler:Object,sFnc:String):Void {} public function dispatchEvent(oEvt:Object):Void {} public function removeAllEventListeners(sEvt:String):Void {} public static var STUB_LOADED:String = stubLoaded; private static var _instance:EventManagerProxy = null; private function EventManagerProxy() { GDispatcher.initialize(this); } public static function getInstance():EventManagerProxy { if(!_instance) { _instance = new EventManagerProxy(); } return _instance; } } // In your loader fla... import EventManagerProxy; var evtMgrProxy:EventManagerProxy = EventManagerProxy.getInstance(); function handleStubLoaded(evt:Object):Void { for(var field:String in evt) { trace(field + : + evt[field]); } } evtMgrProxy.addEventListener(EventManagerProxy.STUB_LOADED,this,handleStubLoaded); code.customApplication.load(mySWF.swf, myClip_mc); // In the loaded stub swf, dispatch the event when needed import EventManagerProxy; var evtMgrProxy:EventManagerProxy = EventManagerProxy.getInstance(); evtMgrProxy.dispatchEvent({ type: EventManagerProxy.STUB_LOADED, target: this, stubId: someId -- if you happen to need this! }); Hope it helps.

Or maybe I missing something here... Cheers Juan Pablo Califano Exactly, and that is why I wasn't able to trigger events from the Movie that is being loaded. But I am curios to see if Steven has another approach that would require less code and would provide the same result.

Re: [Flashcoders] how many coders here actually have a degree related to computer science?
I've been a hiring manager for companies such as Sony and Disney, and the first thing I look at is experience, then a degree--any degree. Though a degree in a relevant field is nice, the fact that you have a degree shows that you're motivated, and can stick with something and see it through to the end. I partially agree with this point. There are many factors and circumstances that can push some one toward not acquiring a degree while building a career. While this may not be all the time if you notice some older people (by that I mean 60+) never had a formal education, yet their drive allowed them to make a name for themselves. Let me give you an illustration so that I can make my point clear in case my words are not able to explain precisely what I am talking about. I know some one that had it made one day his parents flew overseas for vacation and during the trip they died. He had a choice, stay in school or take a job and help his brothers to finish their school. He gave up school and all his brothers and sisters graduated from college, yet he did not finish school. Today he is the owner of his own company and you may never see him come over to your desk to ask you for a job. But i still feel that not having a degree shows that you are not motivated. my 1 cent :) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Good question... If you use the methtod describeType for the main timeline you are able to extract the file name you are working with. //something like this: trace(describeType(root)); type name=Untitled_fla::MainTimeline Now this has to be done on the timeline, once you try to do describeType(root) from within a movieclip (or a component) you will get the following: trace(describeType(root)); type name=flash.display::MovieClip So I am trying to extract the file name by targeting the MainTimeline does that makes sense?

It could be.. the only reason for trying to do this is to create a very smart component, thus being able to pick up the file name would have been of a great help for it. But again it seems almost hard to get it if you are trying from somewhere else that is not strictly the timeline.

Re: [Flashcoders] My rights - site not paid for.
But having the power to access to the server through FTP doesnt make the coder a good guy either :) On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 4:51 PM, laurent [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Having no contract does not make the none payer a good guy, he apparently does not want to pay. And if he have problems I guess the coder have too, so he should deal with his own stuff as we do here and if he can't he should commnicate about it. But I don't think the problem is here. The best thing is to call a lawyer that will get in contact with him, you won't even have to get to court, the guy will pay straight away.

[Flashcoders] Capture sound from computer speakers?
I am looking at the docs, and it almost seems like I can't capture the sound that is playing through the speakers (itunes/web/application). Which seems odd to me given that we can capture the camera and microphone but not just sound that is not played within the flash player. I did a soft search within Adobe Air but I haven't found information in there either(yet) Anyone has any suggestions?

Re: [Flashcoders] Capture sound from computer speakers?
Thanks for the feedback and I was afraid there is no way to get a hold of the output by default. This idea is for an application that would be deployed on the web so asking each one of the users to make such modifications to the system is out of the question :) Thanks again, Helmut On Feb 20, 2009, at 6:07 PM, Nate Beck wrote: What you hear, in your speakers is audio output... not audio input. So to do what you want, you need to somehow turn your audio output into an input. Here are few ideas: - I used to have a Sound Blaster sound card that had a driver that would loop the audio out back into the input. There was a sound setting to select What you hear as an option. - Use Soundflower on the mac - http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/ - Simply run a sound wire from your computer's audio out into the audio in (microphone) jack. Keep in mind, that anyone who wants to record audio output using your flash / air application is going to have to do one of these things above as well.

[Flashcoders] GetDefenitionByName from loaded SWF
Hello All, I am trying to access properties from a child file. This is the set up: Parent loadedA.swf // gets loaded into Parent loadedB.swf // gets loaded into Parent Parent has a static class called ParentClass and it has about 10 mutators that I want to access through the child movies being loaded (loadedA, loadedB). After the files are being loaded I am using ApplicationDomain to let the child movies know where ParentClass lives since they do not get added to the display list until later but they need information that the ParentClass have to work properly and that is why they do have access to it. So like I said, the child movies have access to ParentClass but all the properties return undefined or null. Anyone has any recommendations?

I did get around the issue but not using static constants for the BUTTON_CLICK constant and just setting it up as a public var button1.addEventListener ( button1.BUTTON_CLICK, doClickStuff)// now this works but looks such an ugly hack.
