Yes I've noticed that too, same thing here.



it seems you're not exactly correct here:

to me it seems like when sthe scrolling container reaches maxScroll, the 
flashplugin seems to fire the scroll event (back) to the browser.


at least this is what it seems to me. it might be considered as a 
feature if you want to, if you think of how html-scrollcantainers behave.

Hello,

Hi,

In my app I need to show a modal dialogue and blur/unblur all 
on-stage clips while the dialogue is active.


So, whats the cleanest AS2 way to do this - I'm in Flash 8 
but don't want any prototypes.


I need to extend all movieclips so does this mean I will need 
to register every movieClip in the library with a class - 
thats a bit longwinded...


How about creating a new BitmapData object from _root?



i'm nott 100% sure if that even works, but that would include the modal 
too, as long as you don't load it externally into another level.

Not if you create the BitmapData _before_ you show the modal.

And it does work, I've done it before. :-)

Re: [Flashcoders] Incorporating Flash Module into HTML site

Phil Dupré schrieb:

Greetings,

I have a mini flash web site that I would like to import into a dedicated
area within an HTML site as a SWF file.  This SWF file will essentially work
like a general web site.  It has a navigation menu with buttons and
sub-buttons.  The sub-buttons load swf files and or movie clips within the
main swf file.

My question is can this mini flash web site work without any issues if is
imported into an HTML site?  Or are there limitations to viewing Flash
within HTML web sites?

About the HTML site:
Outside of hosting the mini-flash web site, the HTML site serves as a
dashboard for information/content. It aggregates a calendar that's coming
from Microsoft Outlook.  It also shows a list of links to other web sites.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks a lot.

Kind regards,

Phil

Re: [Flashcoders] __DATE__ or similar in AS2 ?

Stefan Thurnherr schrieb:

Hi flashcoders,

I am looking for an easy way to indicate an SWF's version on the stage
(i.e. via a textfield). I guess the easiest way would be if there was
a compiler literal like __DATE__ (indicating the time/date of
compilation) available within ActionScript. But I couldn't find any
such thing neither in the livedocs, nor with the help of the almighty
G.

I'd prefer a solution that also works offline (i.e., not involving a
call to a server-side script that gives the SWF access to its own
time/date of creation).

How do other flashcoders solve this problem?



i've created a not-even-near-perfect serial-builder with jsfl.

i'd always wanted to make this an os-version, but haven't had the time to do 
this.

but before offering you my crappy code, i'd like to hear what others do have.

Forgive me if this is a common request or something but I have

you cannot find *anything* about how a *preloader* is made in flash ?

Re: [Flashcoders] BitmapData size limit

Dave Wood schrieb:
Anyone know why the 2880 pixel limit for either width or height of a  
BitmapData object?


If the intention is to limit the amount of memory required (2880 X  
2880 pixels would require about 24 Mb), then the limit should be on  
the total size of the image surely. Or is there some other reason for  
this that someone can explain?


  
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. 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.

Re: [Flashcoders] Hiding MD5 shared secret

2006-09-21 Thread Michael Stuhr

David Rorex schrieb:

hide the secret in many different places throughout the swf, and then
combine them together to produce the actual code (using some odd formula).
name them things that make it seem related to something else. part of the
shared secret should also come from the server, so that it is different
every time.

some lame examples:

_root.someInvisibleMC._x=123;
_root.someInvisibleMC._y=124; // 124 is hardcoded on the server
// ...
highscores = server.getHighScores(); // actually returns a random number
which is also stored on the server
var userID = getTimer();
server.trackUsage(userID); // server stores this value as well
// ...
var currentDate =
MD5(_root.someInvisibleMC._y+highscores+userID+currentScore); // server can
also calculate this, because it knows all the same pieces of data
// ...
submitScore(currentDate, currentScore); // actually submit the score to the
server

hope this gives you some ideas. in the end, it's pretty much impossible to
completely secure it, you just have to make the barrier high enough that
they will give up attacking your game, and try on some less-well defended
one.
but...if the player's score actually gives them some reward which has real
value (a prize, or a coupon, or free download or something), assume that it
will be hacked, no matter what you do.

Hello All ---

i think you have to do this manually.
you either create a cellrenderer for your list and handle it this way (look in the help for 
cellRenderer API) or you could :


var list:mx.controls.List;

list.addItem({label:Flash, data:{value:1, enabled:true}} );
/**/
list.addItem({label:Dreamweaver, data:{value:2, enabled:false}} );
list.addItem({label:ColdFusion, data:{value:3, enabled:true}} );


function onListClick (evt:Object)
{
var list = evt.target;
//
if (!list.selectedItem.data.enabled)
{
list.selectedIndex = undefined;
list.invalidate();
trace (this item is disabled)
}
else
{
trace (you selected:  + list.selectedItem.label)
}
}
function onListRollOver(evt:Object)
{
var list = evt.target;
var ix = evt.index;
var item = list.getItemAt(ix);
	var curCol = list.getStyle(backgroundColor); // be aware of alternatingRowColors, you'd 
have to check here if ix is odd or even, also you should check that there's no cutom 
cellrenderer here

//
if (!item.data.enabled)
{
list.setPropertiesAt(ix, {backgroundDisabledColor:curCol});
list.invalidate();
}
else
{
trace (you hovered:  + list.selectedItem.label);

There is a party out there (errorsafe.com) that is embedding some very nasty code in their flash ads that depending on several factors will popup a new window and try install their spyware using active-x.
 
Here are two sample swf files:

i tried to decompile them with asv (latest version). i can clearly see

Wow, thanks Jason, that's really helpful.


I've been examining this and it's great, but it suffers the same problems
that my version did: it doesn't scrub the video to an exact time, only to
the nearest keyframe. Our videos are only a few seconds long and may have no
more than one keyframe in the middle. Anyone got a solution that allows you
to set a time precisely?



that's the game with keyframes i think. you can only insert more keyframes while rendering 
them to flv's. if they are that short as you describe, it shouldn't really matter.

I've got a dynamic multi-line textfield bringing in html text. Flash has 
no CSS support for background-color, so I would like to find a 
workaround for adding a background to portions of text.


Flash 8, AS2


FP9 or better AS3 is your friend then.[1]
or shall i say should be your friend :-)
AS2 or more precisely the FP8 interpreting bytecode is way too slow (and textextend is 
waywayway too buggy)to give you precise coordinates. this would only work for a small mount 
of text (which is definately not enough for your task, i guess), and your text has to be 
monospaced (which in this case *is* what you want).
you than would have to calc each characters position/coords based on a given width and 
height, well ... you see, ugly solution.



micha


[1] don't have a link @ hand, but it's in the docs. look for TextField or similar, you 
should find some more classes nearby, which can do that for you.

2006-08-16 Thread Michael Stuhr

Jeroen Beckers schrieb:

Hi,

This is the situation:

Flash uses AMFPHP to call a php function 'test1()' .

In my php file, the function is defined as followed:

function test1()
{
test2();
return Hello;
}

function test2()
{
return World;
}

Now, AMFPHP returns World (when I call test1() ), but I would expect
him to return Hello (like flash would do).

Is this a feature or a bug? (Or maybe just a hole in my PHP knowledge ?)


seems like php returns mean to 'break' this. i'd suggest to put the retrurn of test2() into 
a local var.

it just doesn't make sense anyway, even if it would return just 'Hello', right ?

as this doesn't really need a 3d environment, i'd suggest you

by simply setting a listener for the scrollwheel (look this up in the

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting a Sound Card

Hi folks,
  I have a situation where my app doesn't work on a PC with no sound
card installed, because I depend on onSoundComplete for a couple of
synchronised triggers and (guess what) onSoundComplete is never called

  However, unfortunately System.capabilities.hasAudio doesn't report
false. I assume it only returns false for builds of a player that
doesn't have audio (for example, handhelds and so forth).
  
you cant do that natively. but what is so bad about a simple button that

[Flashcoders] problem downloading files via flash.net.FileReference from subdomain

2006-07-03 Thread Michael Stuhr

i have setup a subdomain like mysubdomain.domain.tld.

now i want to download Files via flash.net.FileReference which works fine on localhost but 
not on deploy server. the error is the path to the file. the server prepends a local path to 
the subdomain which is like:

/hsphere/local/home/domain/subdomain/

which is correct, cause the subdomain is routed to a folder which is called 
like the subdomain.

here's my as-code:

CODE
function downloadNext (item) {
var file:FileReference = new FileReference ();
file.addListener (downLoadListener);
NetDebug.trace (Download parameter:  + item); // traces fine, just 
the filename no path!
file.download (item);
}
/CODE
to listen to the events, i have an objectListener like:
CODE
downLoadListener = new Object ();
//
downLoadListener.onSelect = function (file:FileReference):Void  
{
trace (onSelect:  + file.name);
NetDebug.trace (onSelect:  + file.name);

};
downLoadListener.onCancel = function (file:FileReference):Void  
{
trace (onCancel);
NetDebug.trace (onCancel);
};
downLoadListener.onOpen = function (file:FileReference):Void  {
trace (onOpen:  + file.name);
NetDebug.trace (onOpen:  + file.name);
};
		downLoadListener.onProgress = function (file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, 
bytesTotal:Number):Void  {

trace (onProgress with bytesLoaded:  + bytesLoaded +  
bytesTotal:  + bytesTotal);
			NetDebug.trace (onProgress with bytesLoaded:  + bytesLoaded +  bytesTotal:  + 
bytesTotal);

};
downLoadListener.onComplete = function 
(file:FileReference):Void  {
trace (onComplete:  + file.name);
NetDebug.trace (onComplete:  + file.name);
NetDebug.trace (fileList.length:  + fileList.length);
if (fileList.length  1) {
downloadNext (fileList[0]);
}
};
downLoadListener.onIOError = function (file:FileReference):Void 
 {
trace (onIOError:  + file.name);
NetDebug.trace (onIOError:  + file.name);
};
downLoadListener.onHTTPError = 
function(file:FileReference):Void {
 trace(onHTTPError:  + file.name);
 NetDebug.trace (onHTTPError:  + file.name);
}
downLoadListener.onSecurityError = function(file:FileReference, 
errorString:String):Void {
 trace(onSecurityError:  + file.name +  errorString: 
 + errorString);
 NetDebug.trace (onSecurityError:  + file.name +  
errorString:  + errorString);
}

/CODE

the funny thing is, that the onSelect gets called, when downloadNext is invoked but no 
onHTTPError or else.


anyone to shed some light ?

It's not just MM's components it doesn't work with, it's Flash in

When you put ANY of their components in your movie, the following Flash
native code no longer works.

Selection.setFocus
TextField.tabIndex
  
that is indeed bad, as long as this framework doesn't handle this stuff 
instead. i don't know if it does.

Like I mentioned before, they are amazingly helpful and polite.  It
doesn't change the fact that their components don't work standalone,
that you must code how they tell you to code and use their framework to
code all your Flash applications, that it's not made clear that this is
a requirement for using their components 

MM did that as well, did you say scam then too ?

the flash part resits outside of https.

You might have some trouble, if you load some files from http:// and some
files from https://, there are a bunch of security restrictions built into
the flash player. Easiest way is to just load everything from the same place
(including the initial swf file). If you can't do that for whatever reason,
read the help docs on what exactly the security restrictions are, and how to

You seem to offer the same methods that the shared object does with

except for that setData()  i would have expected saveCookie() or sth 
like that.


@Caruso:

you should try it this way: (just out of my head ...)

function saveCookie (props:Object)
{
this._data = props;
}

so now all you have to provide to this function is an object like:

var o:Object = new Object (...);
saveCookie (o);

never tried but you could also use:

[OT] was: [Flashcoders] Eolas fix and backspace key flash bug

2006-06-16 Thread Michael Stuhr

while this silly thread is still alive:

i just wanted to inform you about two mails i got directly from members 
and non members from this list.
i am quoting the mails here cause i thought since i got them because i 
posted to this list, the list should get this part of the thread too:

first one is from josh from theyrule.net, somewhat friendlier:
([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Hi Michael,

I am not on Flashcoders, but I do check the archives and was following the 
Eolas workarounds.  I would have replied to the whole list but don't want to 
sub and have to deal with the volume.  Nevertheless, I feel compelled to write 
in response to your mail that I have copied below.

I think that you should apologize for this posting - because if you look back at the post that you are responding to - you will find that 1) it is about flash code (yes as it relates to the environment it sits in) and 2) that you can not test this in Firefox - because the EOLAS patent isn't enforced there.  


The question is still open - I believe it is an IE bug - not passing full focus 
to Flash - if this is the case then Macromedia should know about it.
- ok, josh is so frankly of being clever and better stay off this list, 
for it has too much traffic for him.
we all should do this. would keep traffic way lower than nowadays, don't 
you think?

I already answered him:



Hi Michael,

ok, so why do you bother me (private) with that thread at all ?

Micha, so then if you can't extend it, why wouldn't you just SAY that
instead of telling him to read up on classes in TFM.


because i would always have to look it up myself. he could have done that too, i don't read 
in his post that he's done that. he even is unclear about what he's trying to achieve. and 
why he's not taking the prototype road. just stating that he doesn't want to.


  The statement,

RTFM where it says all about classes to most logical people would
imply there is a way if you just take the time read the manual, not that
if you take the time to read the manual, you'll discover you can't do
it.  


yeah that might be the case. but it took me 1 minute to find what he was looking for, just 
by going to the archives, pasting his claim 'extending TextField' into the searchfield, look 
over the results, picking the 1st on the first result page that has 'extending TextField' in 
it's subject, clicking back to where it started, and find the piece i was looking for.
and really this didn't take more than a minute. what is so difficult about that, that one 
cannot do this BEFORE asking us all?




I think perhaps your RTFM attitude is/was uncalled for and unfair to the
poster.  This is the kind of attitude that has degraded the list, not
that the gurus have gone on. You could say RTFM to just about anything
you think YOU'RE a wiz at. 


no. but i do say that, when i did a quick search in the archives, just to be sure. and 
everybody posting to this list SHALL first search the archives. just click te link @ the end 
of any mail you get from flashcoders that says:

or search the archive:
http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders.
it's that easy.

 Some people HAVE read the manual (which your

link was actual to the Live Docs, not the built in help), or couldn't
find it in the manual, and just want to ask for some legitimate help,
which is what this list is for.


but there are nonetheless rules for this list. one of them is:
search the archive:
http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

  If you think someone should just read

the manual, then don't bother responding, just keep quiet rather than
trying to cop an attitude and make them feel stupid for asking.


not stupid for asking but maybe too lazy for not searching first.

mouseMove  hitTest I guess


yupp, but that's ugly as hell! You see i wanted to mimic a range selection like gCal (google

i can do that with hitTest ‚fairly‘ simple, but heh - just some extra hits for 
the CPU i guess.

thanks for clarification eric.

well, actually no. sorry. See if dragOver doesn't respond, why should dragOut ? Wouldn't

Why not do something like this (if you're doing google calendar thing):

mouseDown, you start to record mouse position, using drawAPI or actually
highlight your time blocks), then onMouseUp you check to see what the range
was, etc. etc.

Re: [Flashcoders] caret colour changes

2006-04-12 Thread Michael Stuhr

quinrou . schrieb:

Hi all,

I am having a problem. The caret or i-beam seems to change colour in a flash
text field according to the colour of the text where it is located.
Now and then the caret takes the colour of the text it's in and sometimes
not.

This becomes an issue when the colour of the text is the same as background
colour. Because the caret/i-beam disappears.

Does anyone know how to overcome that issue or to work around it?

Thanks

yes: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

it's a WELL KNOWN Bug, since , well since too long i guess. MM was not willing to killit, so 
i guess we'll have to live another lifecycle with this.


least help i can give you:

add a listener to the Selection Object and everytime one selects text in your textfield 
apply another textcolor to your text, or change the background of that specific TextField. 
on de-select restore everything.

well, now that i know what this does i must say:
it works for me:

FF 1.5.01   fp:8.5beta,
IE6 fp:8.0.24
but on:
OSX:
safari 2.03 fp:8.0.24
flash's not showing up.
it might be related to the fact i'm using this machine through vnc only.


An d the only thing i can see right now is, that if i trigger the pulldown (arrow) back and 
forward button i only see the same page again and again ... but that's a rather little 
problem i guess.

Re: [Flashcoders] Protecting Shared Objects

2006-03-21 Thread Michael Stuhr

John Mark Hawley schrieb:

I'm working on a CD product that needs to store a lot of data locally for easy 
lookup. Before your eyes glaze over and you point me at Zinc, know that this 
poor little product needs to run on OS 9, OSX, and Windows. Zinc doesn't do OS 
9.

But, aha, local shared objects! We can use them! Sure we can, but then there's 
a problem that some wiseguy could wipeout our entire database by clicking 
around in the Flash plugin settings for a good long time.

So: the tentative plan says we could run a little executable via an fscommand 
at startup that checks to see if the LSO's are in good order, and archives them 
elsewhere if so. If they've been hosed, the little executable would un-archive 
the last backup and put them back in the right location.

This sounds a little a rinky-dink, but it seems a heck of a lot easier than 
wrestling with a custom director wrapper and a real database. Just how icky 
does this sound to everyone? Anyone ever attempt something similar?







sounds good.

I don't know if this will help you at all, but the TextField.Stylesheet

If you look at the archives, you'll see that you're not alone. the textfield is 
one of the worst things i've ever seen. the thing that using css makes TFs 
uneditable is only the top :-)


so let's start a petition against this class, as with coming 8.5 Player we have

but this little class is torpeding so much projects (speaking of backends, 
yeah!) i cant stand it anymore!


so let's all stand up, and do sth. against this! we're loosing a market right

for that kinda huge whole in the player i think it needs a little bit more

Thank you for your comments, micha and Isaac.

I ran the uninstaller before installed the players. And all the players

But only in the Test Movie, [List variables], getVersion() and 
System.capabilities.version return 8,0,22,0. I got the same result in 
Flash 8/Winsows XP (SP1).

well if you check the file's themselves, and they say .24 i guess they're ok.
it's annoying - even dangerous - that the ide states an older version, but i 
think we can live with that.


btw:

i suppose anyone who has some time left, to check their versioncheckers and 
update them so users are warned when having an older version.

what do you guys think ?
