Re: [Flashcoders] getURL

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading several images with one progressbar?
If your images are generally similar file sizes and you have 5 images, just make each one equal to 20% and do it that way. It won't be perfect but how perfect does a progress bar have to be? It's an indication of how much has / is loaded.

I'm now defining a segmentWidth by dividing the full progressbar width by the amount of images that are going to be loaded. That gives me the 100% for one image on the whol bar.

Re: [Flashcoders] yet another screwing from micrsoft
The discussion on this seems to be broken into 3 groups 1. Microsoft - how could they do this to us 2. Look at all the money you can make charging clients to implement the fix 3. Such a nightmare to implement - panic stations! My thoughts/responses... 1. Microsoft didn't WANT this to happen, it's the result of trying to comply with a law suit. As much as all you anti-microsoft people like to not beleive this, I'm sure they're very aware of what effect this will have on the Flash audience and are just trying to keep everyone on both sides happy 2. That's like being a funeral director and getting excited when people pass on - not a good mentality at all. 3. 6 months from now we'll all be complaining about the next technical issues that comes before us - probably Flash/Adodbe player issues or the google browser not rendering flash properly ;) Despite all the panic - Flash will live on.

Sure. The idea is that the optimal size will always be an exact fraction
of
either the width or the height. So what we do is drop down by multiples
of
these until we get to the first size that will contain N or more
squares.
At
any particular width, we keep track of the two 'next-smallest' widths
and
drop down to the largest of these. Run through the algorithm with a few
sample numbers and it should make sense.
It may be that there's a more algebraic approach. The problem is,
though,
that there is no simple relationship between floor(x), floor(y) and
floor(xy), which would be needed to come up with any truly useful
solution.
In the end, it turns into quite a complex optimisation problem, and
given
that the brute force algorithm is actually pretty fast, it hardly seems
worth the effort :)

Re: [Flashcoders] CD ROM dimensions?
I think target audience is more about the type of users (eg. some corporations still have a % of 800x600, or older age groups). On stats of a few sites I run, there is still a 15% 800x600 audience (one of these sites is a gaming site).

Re: [Flashcoders] Test CPU/performance/rendering
Some good points Robin. I'd like to try automate the process as much as I
can but will keep that in mind - it may be a better solution.
Your timer would work for CPU speed, but I think I'd have to combine it with
some rendering of some kind to test the capabilities of the graphics card
also. eg. I have a fast computer at work with lots of ram that processes
things like thing quicker than my PC at home, but has an old graphics card
and is much slower at rendering.

Hey Mick,
Maybe it is better to give the user the option to select the processor
speed rather than detecting it automatically. (that would be similar to
picking your connection speed for a QuickTime movie). Some users may
want to see all the effects even though they have a slow computer.
If you want to determine the performance you could just measure the time
it takes to perform some task.
e.g.
var t1:Number = getTimer();
for (var i = 0 ; i 10; i ++)
{
}
var t2:Number = getTimer();
var timeToDoThis = (t2 -t1);
trace (timeToDoThis)
Don't know how accurate this is though :-)

Re: [Flashcoders] Stretching Designs - Coded?
How is that kind of thing done? I know you can achieve some interestin
gthings
with scaleMode and Stage.align but I'm guessing something more complex is
going on here.
No - that's about it really. Just make sure your flash is embedded with 100%
width so the stage does actually change size with the browser.
//Set your movie up like:
Stage.align = TL;
Stage.scaleMode = noScale;
//Add a listener so things get adjusted when the stage is resized
var stageListener = new Object();
stageListener.onResize = function(){
alignContent();
}
Stage.addListener(stageListener);
//Use Stage.width to get the width of your stage (and Stage.height if
needed).
//When you want to align movieclips use:
function alignContent(){
myMC._x = Stage.width;
}
Depending on how your MCs are set up, you may have to do some adjusting
like:
myMC._x = Stage.width - myMC._width - 50;
Left aligned items don't really need anything.

Re: [Flashcoders] Best Flash data access way opinions
Macromedia doesn't support free technologies that are in direct competition with their technologies. Why would they? I always wondered why MM support PHP in Dreamweaver but refuse to do so for Flash with a PHP remoting. You can build a fully blown database driven site in Dreamweaver (allbeit not perfect code) using their PHP/MySQL support without writing a line of code and without paying for a CF server, .Net server, etc. On 6/23/06, Steven Sacks | BLITZ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: But unless I am totally wrong, AMFPHP wasn't out of beta until recently. And it isn't officially supported by Adobe/MM, or if it is, it wasn't until recently. CF is. Macromedia doesn't support free technologies that are in direct competition with their technologies. Why would they? If you only used Macromedia supported technologies, you would have paid gobs of cash (tens of thousands of dollars) for Generator instead of using the free alternative, JGenerator, which, by the way, had more features than MM's version. MM didn't much care for the fact that nobody was buying their overpriced technology anymore, so when they moved from Flash 5 to Flash MX, they removed the ability to make Generator Templates, effectively ending support for it. This was a big f**k you! to the development community who had been building Jgenerator based sites for their clients, but couldn't offer the improvements in Flash MX and beyond to them because Macromedia decided to attack their own consumers. ColdFusion is a way for inexperienced coders to code middleware. CF is nowhere near as good as .NET, PHP, Java or Ruby. If you know how to code, don't waste your time with CF and dive right in to one of the far better middleware solutions (Ruby on Rails anyone?). AMFPHP has worked great for years, for free.

Re: [Flashcoders] Export frame option disabled
This is one of the reasons I avoid MM components unless I totally have to.
Most of the components will only work if you export in first frame so the
only option I''ve found is:
- Put your content in an external SWF (which also causes problems because of
a bug with the components needing an instance in the root library if they're
loaded into target MCs). So, you now need to create a Shared Library for the
components and preload them (or if you don't want the hassle of a shared
library, some components get around this bug if you put a _lockroot in the
SWF containing them).
I'd love to hear other peoples solutions to component preloading.

Hey everyone,
Im creating a preloader and I notice that it doesnt start until about
90% done loading the file. I believe this is because my ui components
are exported to the first frame. I tried unchecking export to first
frame with no difference. I also tried changing the actionscript
setting to export it to frame 2 rather than 1, but it is unavailable to
change (the field is disabled). Am I missing something here? ;) Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] optimizing an animation?
I've seen this mostly when the MC being tweened either has a lot of vector information or large (physically) bitmaps. - If it's all vector being zoomed, either optimize and cut down on the vectors or, create a new frame in the MC with 'some elements' only, goto that frame while zooming, do a callback function on the MC_tween to then go back to the frame you want once the tween is complete - If it's bitmaps being zoomed, they may have too much information to render quickly - try reducing the amount of pixels in the bitmap (like 50% scale) then stretch it 200% when it's dynamically attached - this will lower the quality but speed up the zoom (you can try this just to test if it is the bitmap causing the problem). - In general, disable elements one at a time and keep testing the movie to find the offending elements that are causing the chugging.

Re: [Flashcoders] png load queue
Have you tried using JPGs instead of PNGs just to see if there's a difference there? I had an animation that was almost twice as fast when I used JPGs instead of PNGs. Either way, it sounds like a lot of data you're loading - perhaps it's just on your local machine it's slow because it's loading the PNGs instantly compared to via a web connection where you'll have X seconds between each image loading.

Re: [Flashcoders] Calling functions in sequence
You could call the second function from the first (and have a paramater so
it only runs the second function if you send the paramater).
function funct1(runNext){
//do something
if(runNext){
funct2();
}
}
function funct2(){
//do whatever
}
to call only the first function:
funct1();
to call both:
funct1(true);

Re: [Flashcoders] masking a clip which uses the drawing api

I'm not totally sure about masking, but in general, I think there are some bugs or conflicts with a movie clip drawn upon with the draw API and other elements of the movie. I'm not sure this is as related as you would like, but for example, I had an issue with one of those drawn-on movie clips which had another movie clip as a child, which had a textfield on it. It worked fine until the textfield was updated with new data - then the old text still showed, and the new text was also drawn over the top - so it looked like there were two overlapping textfields. If I separated the textfield from the clip being drawn on, it worked fine. I never could figure out the behavior, but I assumed it had to do with the clips and children of clips drawn on by the draw API and the way the player renders them/redraws them. In another case, portions of v2 components always displayed below clips which were drawn upon - the drawn on clips were always on top. Post again if you figure it out.

function doStuff(mc){

}
//Option1. this is a short way of targeting the above function
my_btn.onRelease = doStuff;
//Option2. but you can't send parameters
my_btn.onRelease = doStuff(mc); //does not work
//Option 3. Usually I have to do this...
my_btn.onRelease = function(){
doStuff(mc); //does not work
}
I know it's no biggie, but it would be nice to do option 2 somehow

So just this (but sending a param to a function called doStuff)...
my_btn.onRelease = doStuff;
Withough having to go:
my_btn.onRelease = function(){
doStuff(myParam);

Re: [Flashcoders] swf and domains, what domain made the call?
Perhaps when you instruct with what EMBED code to use on myspace, do it like
this...
EMBED src=mydomain.com/myfile.swf?id=123
That ID could be a unique ID to a certain account. In flash you can do
whatever database calls you need and check if that userID has the access you
need. If the swf is called without the ID, then don't allow it.
OR...
I'm not sure if this will work, but you could use...
EMBED src=mydomain.com/myfile.php - your php could check who the referrer
is, and do whatever checking you need, then load your SWF and spit out a
SWF-file type.

will be in an embed tag on myspace with an src pointing to my server.
What I need to do is once this swf gets called is see what the referring
domain is and see if the creator of that content has an account that

if(domain == myserver || domain == www.myserver){
// serve up content this is on our server no account check needed

else{
// WAIT!!! check if this content creator can embed outside of our

I hope I got my point across and I hope what i am trying to accomplish

gave me the domain of the swf which was on my server not the domain of
the html file that called/embedded the swf.

cropped for display. Is the bandwidth profiler open and cropping your SWF?
Have you tried outputting your trace to the stage and previewing it in a
HTML file?

If i create a blank movie and post this scrit trace(Stage.height); it will
give 100 less than the actual size. but if you do this:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(Stage.height);
}
it will trace the true size after the first enterFrame.
Ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] Searching for Generator-like utility
Most solutions I've seen (such as the one Jim posted) only support converting Drawing API content to images.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
i'm kind of a noob, so there is probably a really simple solution i'm
overlooking. i was thinking: how would one reverse the order in which
flash is processing/placing the thumbs? or maybe instead of using my
script, there's some kind of for loop that might work?
Note that a loop like this:
for(var i=0; iArray.length; i++){
}
Will go through forward through the array. However, a loop like this:
for(var i in Array){
}
Will do the exact same thing, only backwards through the array. Take
this for example - paste this into a frame script and run it:
myArray = [2,43,200,4776,0,68];
for(var i=0; imyArray.length; i++){
trace(position: +i+ value: +myArray[i])
}
trace(==)
for(var i in myArray){
trace(position: +i+ value: +myArray[i])
}
Note in your code where you are calling this: function thumbnails_fn(k)
- At a quick glance I could finds the function definition, but not where
you called it from - I'm lazy - you posted a lot of code to mull over.
But I suspect the value of k is going down, not up - check into the way
you are calling it.
for some reason flash does things in reverse order
Flash only does what you tell it to do. :)
Hope that's useful to you.

Re: [Flashcoders] File-name operand bug workaround
This bug is actually more weird than you would think - it's not the
passing of a string with a hypen that is causing the problem - it's
simply a SWF with a hyphen calling any externalInterface call.
Try this test:
create a new Flash file - make sure you name it with a hypen in it eg.
test-1.swf
Then put this code in it...
import flash.external.*
ExternalInterface.call(alert,Hello);
Run it in IE embedded in a HTML page. You will get a javascript error.
Firefox no error.
(I think only Flash Player 9 causes this error but unsure)
Now re-publish your file without a hypen in it and run it again from
IE and it will work fine.

Well, one idea that comes to mind is that you could escape the
filename (using the escape() function) before sending it through

get converted by ActionScript's escape() function, but you can force
it like so:
ExternalInterface.call(myJSFunc, escape(s).replace(-, %2D));
Then, in JavaScript:
function myJSFunc(filename) {
filename = unescape(filename);

And how will this solve my question and... to import this data into Flash to improve download times Importing an XML or TXT file into flash would be the same download time right? They're both text files. I know how to import the data. I'm just looking to see if there's ways to compress the data to 1)save bandwidth/file size 2)speed up download times Although as Zeh mentioned - the standard download protocols will compress the data anyway so it may not be an issue.

Re: [Flashcoders] to get last browsed web page before current
If you have access to PHP you can use http referrer (which isn't 100%
effective, but one of the better solutions)
$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}
I'm not sure how well that will work with a Flash application but
potentially you could send that to flash via a flashvar in PHP from your
page.

Re: [Flashcoders] clickTags and sending variables to aspx
You're probably better off appending them manually so you can defined
exactly which vars to send...
on (release) {
var1 = append=this_to_be_appended_to_URL;
getURL(clickTag+var1, _blank, GET);
trace (var1);
}
if you need the var names as part of the URL string you may need...
on (release) {
var1 = append=this_to_be_appended_to_URL;
getURL(clickTag+?var1=+var1, _blank);
trace (var1);
}

Hey there
Does anyone know how to append variables to an .aspx URL via a clickTag
button on a banner ad?
I haven't a clue (just a designer pretending to be a coder ;)
At the moment the script I have on the button is:
on (release) {
var1 = append=this_to_be_appended_to_URL;
getURL(clickTag, _blank, GET);
trace (var1);
}
And then of course I'm letting whoever's hosting the banner ad know what
the
base default.aspx URL is...
cheers

Re: [Flashcoders] clickTags and sending variables to aspx
I didn't see the append=. Let me try again...
on (release) {
var1 = append=this_to_be_appended_to_URL;
getURL(clickTag+?+var1, _blank);
trace (var1);
}

Re: [Flashcoders] handling non-western characters in Flash
I did this for a project recently... - Used XML files (different one for each language) - Use device fonts (embedding fonts for most languages is not an option... eg.

Re: [Flashcoders] handling non-western characters in Flash
The problem is that some other asian language fonts for example could be 200K. There's lots of characters in some languages ;) On 2/15/07, Donald Desloge [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I like the XML idea, have one for every language.
