[Flashcoders] Accessing SVN from JSFL
Hi List I am hoping to create a custom Flash panel which can interface with Subversion. Is it possible to execute external apps, or command line access from JSFL? Thanks Jake ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] MultiLanguage
Hi Dave I've done quite a few muiltilanguage sites, including Chinese and Korean. The way I've tackled this in the past is to load the fonts from an external SWF at run-time, using shared runtime libraries. It's a bit of a roundabout method, and if a single part of the process is not done correctly, it will fail (silently of course!) and you will not see any text rendered. But it's worth it! You can use Shared Fonts Manager, where the process is documented here: http://sharedfonts.com/eng/help.html The Shared Fonts Manager itself just helps you manage the fonts, and you can use the same method with your own management if you don't want to use the product, your choice. When you get it to work it means you can paste all your chinese copy into the font library FLA, use autofill, then only embed the characters you need. In my experience this leads to a total of no more than 500KB of font data for Chinese (and you only need to load that when the site is actually displayed in Chinese). It also has the benefit of only having to load the fonts once, even if your site is spread across multiple SWFs. Hope that helps, Jake On 24/01/2008, Kerry Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'd think so, but it doesn't seem to be the case. In my interface for example, I need to support Chinese simplified and traditional - and in my tests some characters are not appearing if I just choose the traditional level 1 support. So I need to include support for both which is like 18,000 glyphs. For some reason traditional is 5609 glyphs and 'simplified' is 13000+. Simple my ass. Yeah, I was surprised at the number of characters in the Level 1 Simplified. There should be fewer--part of Mao's simplification was combining words that were pronounced the same but had different characters in traditional Chinese. For example, hou (4th tone) can mean empress or behind, depending on the character. In traditional Chinese, there are two characters, while simplified Chinese uses just one for both. Hmmm - a thought... maybe I can just do the 5609 and then add in missing characters as needed. So far, there only a couple that are not showing if I use only the level 1 support. I doubt that will work for simplified. Not only were characters combined, a lot of characters were simplified to use fewer strokes. For example, my Chinese name, Tan, is actually a combination of 3 characters (not unusual). The one on the left, called the radical, is 2 strokes in simplified Chinese, and 7 strokes in traditional. Other characters, like those for door and country also use far fewer strokes in simplified Chinese. So just using the traditional character set and filling in probably won't do it for you. You'll probably end up displaying traditional characters (actually called complicated-body characters in Chinese), which some people in Singapore and mainland China won't be able to read. It's not optimal, I know, and the file will be bigger than you want. Maybe you could have them choose the language up front, then load a swf with just the right character set embedded.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 instantiating a new class object from a string value
I'm not sure about the actual code to instantiate, however make sure that the class you are creating is actually compiled in the first place. If it is not explicitly mentioned in your code somewhere it will not be compiled and will not be able to be created at run-time. jake On 26/07/07, Matt Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm trying to instantiate a new class object from a xml attribute which is a string, but its not having any of it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Skewing text
Hi Returning to this now as it seems simple distortion is not satisfactory and I do need to have real perspective. I have played a bit with Papervision and it's not too hard to render text with perspective. However the designs that I am working to require quite precise placement and orientation of the text. Using the distort class I could simply specify the 4 points of the plane in 2D space on the stage and render the text like that, but this is not the way Papervision works. My question is, is it possible to render a plane in true perspective just by specifying the 4 points in 2D on the stage? In Zeh's diagram (http://hosted.zeh.com.br/misc/perspective.png) he shows that you can't split the line 50-50 to get the 3D halfway point, is there a way of working out what the proportion would be?

[Flashcoders] Obfuscator
Hi all At this point in time is there any obfuscator that will prevent a SWF from being decompiled with ASV (or whatever the current best decompiler is)? I know this has been asked before and the answer was no, but as both obfuscators and decompilers are improved over time I was wondering if the situation had changed. Our current policy here is to put a URL checker in all our games and then obfuscate the SWF with Amayeta SWF Encrypt. It's a bit of a pain and if this really is a complete waste of time I'd rather stop bothering.

Re: [Flashcoders] Area of a triangle using perimiter values only
Hi Jason
If the number is coming out negative the most likely reason is that
the numbers you are supplying do not make a triangle. (e.g. two sides
are length 1 each and the third is 2 or more). I've tested your code
and it does produce positive numbers for all valid triangles I've
tried.

c:Number):Number{
return (Math.sqrt((a+b+c)*(b+c-a)*(c+a-b)*(a+b-c)))/4;
}
But the problem is (a+b+c)*(b+c-a)*(c+a-b)*(a+b-c) results in a negative
number, and this the square root cannot be taken. Or perhaps I am
interpreting the forumula incorrectly:

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Why does this work in Flash 6 Actionscript 2 but not Flash 7 Actionscript 2 ...
Hi Stephen,
You are incrementing nCounter without ever initializing it. In Flash 6
and earlier if you incremented an undefined value it treated it as 0,
but in Flash 7 and later it remains undefined. Set nCounter to 0 first
and all should be well.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic url for shared movie clips

I can see two possible problems here Laurent. Firstly I think you need
to change the || to . You are testing whether a value is not one
thing or not another. Because it can't be both of them at once one of
those will always be true, therefore the whole statement will always
be true.
Secondly, you are testing for the string undefined, whereas you
probably want to be testing against the value undefined itself. (It's
possible that's not the case, I haven't seen the rest of your code.
Hope that helps.

[Flashcoders] Music visualisation in Flash 9
Hi I have just been asked about the possibility of making an app which will play MP3s, and display visual effect to match it. Does this sound like something that is possible in AS3? As I see it the issues are: - being able to load and play an MP3 from the users harddrive - converting the MP3 to PCM format - analysing the PCM for volume / tempo (and possibly frequency) I will be researching this fully myself now, but if anyone has any experiences or thoughts they want to share I'd be grateful.

Re: [Flashcoders] Center align multiline textfield?
Autosize doesn't work in multiline textfields. If you think about it,
when you set autosize to true (or right or center) you are asking
Flash to shrink the textfield to the smallest size possible to fit the
text. This is fine in a single line textfield, but with a mulitline
field Flash won't know whether to make the field shorter, narrower or
a combination.
As Giles has mentioned, use TextFormat.align:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.align = center;
subhead.setTextFormat( format );

Hi Is there anywhere I can find a greater range of Penner type easing equations than are normally around? Specifically I want a much weaker bounce than the usual easeOutBounce.

IIf I can't find a pre-written easing equation, it's not the end of the world, I can always just string together a few normal tweens one after the other to create the same effect.

Re: [Flashcoders] Disabling Nested MCs?
Hi Kevin,
Using Laco's tweens you can pass a callback function to be called when
the tween is complete. For example something like this:
function disableMap () {
map._visible = false;
}
map.alphaTo( 0, 2, linear, 0, disableMap );

Have you set counter to a value before incrementing it? If you fail to

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV size
Hi Dennis When you choose your compression rate in Flash Video Encoder, and probably other compression tools, you are choosing it in kilobits per second (kbps). Therefore the filesize is dependent on how long the video is, and not how large the dimesions are. You should notice however that the smaller video will be considerably better quality than the large one.
