Re: [Flashcoders] IOS 8 and Air

2014-09-19 Thread Mike Duguid
I have some apps built with air 14 for ios8, initial testing seems to be
ok, the only glitch being they now pop up a message about allowing
notifications on the first launch (even though the apps don't use
notifications). What's broken in yours specifically?

 Well, with IOS 8 released, I tried out those apps I built with CS6 and Air
 for IOS 3.4.

 All broken..  :-(

 Client informed that they better not upgrade to IOS8 and will they require
 all the apps to be rebuilt for IOS8..

 Any Flash developers targetting Air on IOS, tested their apps on IOS8?

 It seems some changes in IOS 8 have upset some native apps. Will I get a
 stream of phone calls very soon or will everything I've made so far
 continue to work?

 I would try it myself but I'd rather wait until the official release.

Re: [Flashcoders] 1086 syntax error expecting semicolon before leftbrace

2014-09-12 Thread Mike Duguid
Saving as .xfl might allow you to search (and possibly replace) through the
associated xml files more efficiently than working through a complex .fla

On 12 September 2014 12:10, Paul A. p...@ipauland.com wrote:

 On the face of it this is a simple thing to solve, but it's driving me
 nuts.

 I am trying to update an AS2 project for a client to AS3. The code
 naturally contains code all over the place, attached to buttons and on the
 timeline.

 The problem for me is that there is a LOT of code disributed over loads of
 frames, inside movieclips and on the timeline.

 I'm using Flash CS6. For the most part the compiler is helpful, but on
 this occasion finding the source of the problem is very hard, and by source
 I mean the actual source code where the error is, not just a solution.

 Generally the error is along the lines of

 *frame 1, line 1 **1086 syntax error expecting semicolon before leftbrace*

 ..repeated  LOADS of times.

 If the problem really was on frame 1, line 1 of the main timeline, it
 would be great, but it's not. SOmetimes as I experiment with removing
 frames, etc, the frame number changes.

 By temporarily removing frames from the main timeline, and making layers
 into guides, I can narrow the generation of the errors to specific symbols.
 Unfortunately it's slow to do this and there's loads of nested sympols and
 a lot of animation frames.

 It's a nightmare.

 Any ideas for finding where these are originating from without searching
 painfully through the source?

 I should say that other errors are correctly identified and their location
 shown. No issues with those and now I only have these 1086 errors left.

 I have taken the AS2 fla, copied all of the frames and layers into an AS3
 project and the errors are there.

 Hey everyone,

 I've been looking at shared objects, but I seem to come across info that
 it's not a reliable storage method for devices. The last thing I'd want is
 for someone playing the game on their iOS device, and suddenly finding all
 the progress they've made is lost.

 I've also been looking into File methods, and that seems more appropriate.

 I thought it'd be best to get your thoughts on this. Do you have anything
 that I should keep in mind? What would be appropriate for use?

Re: [Flashcoders] Create your own t-shirt

2010-08-04 Thread Mike Duguid
 And you need to find out how to send a ByteArray back to a backend service
 to save said t-shirt as an image file.

 With that and Jack's TransformManager, those are the two main building
 blocks.


Having created quite a few online designers / product customisation tools,
I'd add that for print resolution imagery involving bitmaps you certainly
-don't- want to be transferring large amounts of pixel data back to the
server, compression or not (unless you don't mind long waits or low
resolution output affecting your customer abandonment rates). Better to keep
all high resolution processing (and files) on the server and to essentially
only transfer user interaction data back to the server to render out the
print ready, high resolution final format there, while keeping the whole
process snappy.

Re: [Flashcoders] ConvolutionFilter performance

2006-01-31 Thread Mike Duguid
I notice between lines 29  33 of your convolution version you have
pushed a blurFilter into the filterArray - if you remove this from
both versions and rely on convolution purely for blurring, as you can
observe the effect isn't as pronounced as directly applying a
blurFilter - to get an effective blur from a single iteration of a
convolution matrix I've found requires a 5x5 matrix or alternatively
use multiple iterations which may negate any cpu advantage that a
single 3x3 convolution matrix application has?

For all the 3d naysayers, perhaps you were the same guys that said a
few years back that there was no place for video on the internet, no
place for applications on the internet. Perhaps there's no place for
telephony on the internet and I'm just imagining skype and the coming
wave of messenging/phone combinations. And of course before that there
were things such as radio, tv, shopping that were largely done
offline. All niche markets initially.

I personally don't think we should limit our online creativity in an
increasingly bandwidth rich arena by dismissing the possibility of new
tools to explore new areas. Todays niche market may remain that way
tomorrow, but when microsoft is paying attention to it I wouldn't bet
on it.
