Re: [Flashcoders] RGB tinting using the colorMatrixFilter()
not sure I made myself clear - given a desaturated greyscale image I need to be able to tint it to an RGB value - so black stays black, white stays white and rgb=128,128,228 (50% grey) is the actual colour - with all the shade in between. I need to be able to do this by using code like this: [as3] trace(composite startTime:+getTimer()); // tint var matrix:Array = new Array(); matrix = matrix.concat([r1, r2, r3, r4, r5]); matrix = matrix.concat([g1, g2, g3, g4, g5]); matrix = matrix.concat([b1, b2, b3, b4, b5]); matrix = matrix.concat([a1, a2,a3, a4, a5]); var tintFilter = new ColorMatrixFilter(matrix); [/as3] so how do I work out the r's g's and b's in the matrix?

[Flashcoders] RGB tinting using the colorMatrixFilter()
Hey guys I'm working with greyscale images - assume neutral colour temperature is 50% grey. These are shaded from white to black, white representing light, black shading, and all the variable shades in between etc. I need to tint the greyscale bitmapData to produce a shaded coloured image using the colorMatrixFilter() from an RGB or Hex value. so if the whole image was 50% grey (ie. r=128, g=128, b=128) it should become r=256,g=0,b-0 - black should stay black, white should stay white but the colours in between should be shades of red. Anyone got a clue how I can do this?

Re: [Flashcoders] The great CS3 Swindle
Thanks for the response John, please don't take this personally, - but I suspect the legitimate reason is because we can, I find it hard to believe that Adobe HQ doesn't have the necessary muscle to enforce a RRP bracket on its international sales offices. Anyhow - not all companies have this pricing structure. Take Valves STEAM online distribution channel. Last time I looked there was only one price. If I buy my product electronically then I can see no reason whatsoever for the whopping differences - a company can only take the 'P' out of it's customers for so long before we look elsewhere. I know for certain that the only product I can afford to upgrade at the moment is Flash Pro - I'll be using existing software or looking elsewhere for the rest. Then once I'm out of the upgrade cycle I won't feel any compulsion to keep upgrading and will feel less loyal to the product and much more likely to look at alternatives (ahem MICROSOFT ahem). Hell - if Flashdevelop gets the much touted Flexible WYSWIG Flex editor then I may not even upgrade Flash Pro.. May I suggest you have the equivalent of an electronic region/version - where you can only get support and upgrades electronically and the price tracks the US equivalent with appropriate country specific tax adjustments applied. It's just plain dumb of someone in Adobe to think that your loyal European customers wouldn't do the maths. And if the UK sales office is responsible then we want names, I wonder if any missing revenue from US sales to European customers being diverted would make them pay attention - if so we're all chartering a jet and want them to wave us goodbye at the airport. Yes - my goat has been well and truly got. M On 3/29/07, John Dowdell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mike Mountain wrote: For those prices it would literally be cheaper to fly out to the US to buy it.

For what it's worth, I had been pushing before launch for better information about the reasons for regional pricing disparities, but I did not succeed at doing so. I suspect there are reasonable explanations, because Macromedia, Adobe, and most other software houses show similar differences across national boundaries, but I don't yet know the authoritative reasons myself, sorry. (My suspicion is that it's due to decisionmaking being both at the central and at the regional level... I think each region is responsible for its own prices and these are shaped, but not dictated, by the main office, so there's no single owner of pricing worldwide... that's just my best current guess of why I haven't been able to gain traction in getting this documented, though.) What I'm doing now is trying to collect similar reactions for my partners, to show that this is indeed a frequently-asked question, and one that deserves a definitive explanation on the Adobe site.

RE: [Flashcoders] simulating airbrush + calligraphy brush
Just want to be clear - you're not placing bitmaps - but writing bitmap
data, so once the line is drawn (you'd represent it somehow as a vector
preview) you create some bitmapData which encompasses the line and brush
width, then you'd copy from your brush bitmap into the new bitmap along
the length of the spline.
Using this technique you could vary things like scatter, velocity,
wetness, pressure etc according to how fast the stroke was brushed.

apply the airbrush effect in a bitmap along the path - this way
you can assign different brushes to the path after it's been

mmm.. love the idea... but, what do you mean by placing bitmaps
along a path? did you mean it will also stretch or just show for
every vertex of the path? can you give me pseudo-code of
how to do
this?
Depends how you want to do it, but the simplest is to work
with a spline.
One method is to take one brush point every few moments and
turn this
path into a Catmull-Rom spline. Then you can draw as many
points along
the spline as you like. A quick guide to catmull rom
splines is here:
http://www.mvps.org/directx/articles/catmull/, but in essence:
function catmullPoint (p0, p1, p2, p3, t) { // where p0 to p3 are
points, and t is the fraction of the distance between
p1 and p2
return 0.5 * (2*p1 + t*(p2 - p0) + t*t*(2*p0 - 5*p1 + 4*p2 - p3) +
t*t*t*(-p0 + 3*p1 - 3*p2 + p3)) }
So if you have a list of points p0, p1, ... , pN, then you
can draw as
many points along the spline as you like.
Flash uses quadratic bezier curves in the drawing API and cubic
beziers in the actual application - a cubic bezier and a
Catmull-Rom
spline are essentially the same thing but with different
parameterizations.

[Flashcoders] Flash IDE thinks standard #include .as file is a class file
I've been working on an as file for some time - it's used as an #include, it isn't a class (although it's part of a project which has classes), just a means for me to tidy away some pretty rudimentary timeline code from designers. Everything was working fine but now the IDE won't validate the code - even though there's nothing wrong with it - it keeps spitting out errors: ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or interface constructs. Blah Copy the code into a brand new as file, click the tick, works fine - save it out with a filename, click the tick, breaks. I've deleted my ASO files and still no joy - even if I comment out all the code it still bloody complains. Anyhow, anyone shed any light on this? - Or how to fix it, I think it start when I put some imports in the file by mistake.

[Flashcoders] MM tween object in a class, tweening prop not working
OK, this works outside the class: myJP=new Object() myJP.n=0; t1 = new Tween(myJP, n, func, oldnum, numTo, duration, true); myJP.n tweens just fine. But if I put it inside a class a cannot tween n , I can tween any property of an MC etc. myJP is instantiated as an object and myJP.n is set to 0 in the constructor - they both exist when the tween is called - which makes me wonder if this is a scoping issue? Anyhow, regardless, how do I fix it?

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Trace: level of details?
If you are using the MovieClipLoader class you could call an
onLoadError event. It seems to work well, but you still get
the Error opening URL... message under your custom error message.
__mclListener = new Object();
__mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
__mclListener.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip,
errorCode:String, httpStatus:Number) {
trace( mclListener.onLoadError());
trace( ==);
trace( errorCode: + errorCode);
trace( httpStatus: + httpStatus); }
__mcl.addListener(__mclListener);
__mcl.loadClip(long_url_of_jpg, holder_mc);
Traces out:
mclListener.onLoadError()
==
errorCode: URLNotFound
httpStatus: 0
Error opening URL Error opening URL file:///.long_url_of_jpg
I tried putting it in a try-catch loop with no better
results. One could possibly write a custom class that would
throw errors though.
Hope that helps!

Hi, I actually don't know how to do it, but i just wanted to say that i think is time for Adobe to improve A LOT everything related to shared fonts. Very much agreed. We've reached the situation where we tried every single variation on the shared font, and none of them did what we needed, so we've had to embed the font information in every one of our movies. The key feature that we lacked was the ability to create a new textfield using the shared font in a clean and easy way. (The closest we got to it was to embed a shared movieclip that included a textfield with the font embedded; unfortunately even this didn't work because of the lag in loading these movies). Also, the ability to use a font from a movie loaded with attachMovie in the parent movie.

[Flashcoders] Basic flash sudoku
Hi Anyone got a basic offline flash sudoku game fla I can borrow to try a proof of concept on a windows CE device? I need to test performance and so far it isn't looking promising so I really don't want to go to all the trouble to write one for it to fall over. I see there's one on IFBIN, which is free and open but I can't connect to that through the company firewall. So if anyone can help out I'd be most grateful. Just to reiterate, it's only for testing purposes - we may then write our own.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Copy negative pixels from a movie clip
using draw()
Hi all,
I'm using the BitmapData.draw method, and I've bumped into a
problem. I need to copy all the pixels from a movie clip,
including the pixels which are on negative coordinates. I've
only succeeded copying the ones on positive coordinates. Has
anyone experienced the same thing, and, maybe, have a solution?
I got the basic code from Livedocs, written by Andreas Weber (of this
list?) code below. How would I modify it to accept negative pixels?
Thamks,
Niclas
---8---
// 'snapshot'
import flash.display.BitmapData;
// create a clip with visual content
original = this.createEmptyMovieClip(orig,
this.getNextHighestDepth()); original.opaqueBackground =
0xFF; original.lineTo(100,100);
// create a BitmapData object with the same size var
myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(original._width,
original._height);
// attach the Bitmap to a clip so that it will be rendered on
screen var copy:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(cop,
this.getNextHighestDepth()); copy.attachBitmap(myBitmapData,
this.getNextHighestDepth()); copy._x = 300;
// take a 'snapshot'
myBitmapData.draw(original);

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Textformat size ignores anything over 96
You can´t. I had to develop an application that needed text
sizes bigger than that, and i had to create a special text
field in where if the size was bigger than 96px (in fact the
limit is on the line of the 80px, that´s why i use 81 in the
function), i scaled up (by for example 200%) the text field
and place the text scaled down (by 50% in this case).
The function i use to find the scale is:
private function calcFSize(pSize:Number, pDiv:Number):Number {
pDiv = pDiv || 1;
if ((pSize / pDiv) 81) return pDiv;
return calcFSize(pSize, ++pDiv);
}
and you use it like:
var fontSize = 384;
var perc = calcFSize(fontSize); //fontSize is the size in
pixels of the font.
textformat.size = fontSize/perc;
textfield._xscale = textfield._yscale = perc * 100;

RE: [Flashcoders] Drag on a specific angle
Much like y = mx + b when determining the slope of a line. I think that was algebra... :) Exactly - except we always did mx+c at school To put it in laymens terms on a standard graph the eqn for a slope of line is: y=mx+c where y=y value m=gradient of line x=x value c=intersect of line on y axis (ie, if x=0 what is y); Using this basic principle you could limit an MC to a slope based on the _xmouse value. I'll see if I can knock up a quick n dirty example later.

RE: [Flashcoders] Drag on a specific angle
OK this is untested but:
[as]
function limitToSlope(mc, grad, start, end) {
if(_xmousestart.x _xmouseend.x){
mc._y = grad*_xmouse+start.y;
mc._x=_xmouse
}
}
function drag(){
start=new Object()
start.x=point1._x
start.y=point1._y;
end=new Object()
end.x=point2._x
end.y=point2._y
grad=(start.y-end.y)/(start.x-end.x);
limitToSlope(dragme_mc, grad, start, end)
}
onMouseMove=drag;
[/as]
You'd need to mc's called point1 and point2 to define the start and end
points of the line, and an MC called dragme_mc which will move with the
_xmouse...
It should show enough to prove a point... Run with it if you want to.

RE: [Flashcoders] Attaching bitmap data to arbitary coords
For future search purposes here's a litlle AS3 function to clone a
snapshot of any mc into a new mc:
[as3]
//
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.geom.Point;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
//
function cloneMC(mc, padding){
var bounds:Object = this.getBounds(mc);
var offset_y:Number =padding
var offset_x:Number =padding
var w:Number = bounds.width +offset_x
var h:Number = bounds.height +offset_y
bounds.x=bounds.x-offset_x/2
bounds.y=bounds.y-offset_y/2
var holder:Bitmap=new Bitmap()
var bitmap:BitmapData = new BitmapData(w, h, true, 0x);
holder.bitmapData=bitmap
this.addChild(holder)
holder.name=mc.name+this.getChildIndex(holder);
bitmap.draw(mc, new Matrix(1,0,0,1,bounds.x*-1,bounds.y*-1));
holder.x= bounds.x+mc.x;
holder.y= bounds.y+mc.y;
return holder
}
mcCopy=cloneMC(test_mc,100);
[/as3]
You can supply the function with a padding argument which will place a
margin of transparent pixels around your new MC - this is useful for
applying fx to the image at a later point in time.
Still couldn't get the reg point in exactly the same spot for both MC's
especially with text so I gave up as I don't need it for my purposes -
but if someone wants to add to it then go ahead.
Hope it's useful to someone.

For example, when the ball descends to the row containing
the paddle,
it fires that event, and the paddle, receiving it, tests
for collision.
When the ball ascends to the first row of bricks, those bricks each
test for collsion. This might be a performance improvement over
testing every object in the system all the time.

That would be one way. Although it is rather limiting. I'm
assuming that the ball will bounce whenever it hits an object.
Perhaps create an array of bounceObjects[];
function addBounceObject(obj:Object):Number{
return bounceObjects.push(obj); }
Then you could create your hit tracker.
function checkCollisions(){
var len:Number = bounceObjects.length;
// Loop through and check all objects hitting the ball
for(var i:Number = 0; i len; i++){
// Check each object hit ball
if(this.hitTest(bounceObjects[i])){
this.bounce(); // Bounce the ball
bounceObject[i].onHitByBall();
}
}
}
Have your onEnterFrame functions run checkCollisions every time.
That
way you check for hits against the paddle, bricks etc.
The bounceObject[i].onHitByBall() would execute a
function in that
objects code that would say what to do when it was hit
by a ball.
In
the
instance of a paddele do nothing, a brick - destory it!

Thanks for the reply Dan
Not quite sure how the Ball references the Paddle or
alternatively
the
CollisionController references the ball and paddle.
My Game class creates the Ball and Paddle as follows:
mcPaddle = new Paddle(mcReference, paddle_mc, 50, 100, 289);
var vBall_Object = new Ball(mcReference, ball_mc, 100,
160, 240);
arrBallObjects.push(vBall_Object);
If I wanted to give the Ball a reference to the paddle,
would I do
something like this? (see last parameter)
var vBall_Object = new Ball(mcReference, ball_mc, 100,
160, 240,
mcPaddle);

I would make the ball responsible for checking if it
collides with
the
paddle because the ball's behavior/state will change - not the
paddle's,
nor
does the state of the 'game' really change.
An alternative would be to create a CollissionControler.as that
does
all
your hit testing for you. This may become useful when
you add the

RE: [Flashcoders] Widescreen displays
It depends on your display really. If you can code your apps to be liquid, using Stage properties to turn off scaling and aligning to to left then it should work in any res. Problem comes in the differences between plasmas and LCD's and HD ready plasmas Your average LCD will have a true widescreen Pixel aspect ration (as will most HD ready plasmas) - whereas most other plasmas will display at 1024x768. If you want a one size fits all approach then your best bet is to implement a _level0 squasher and produce all your work in widescreen 16:9 - then if you need to author for a stretched 1024x768 plasma - you can pre squash your flash content in code on the _root which will then be restretched on the plasma to give true aspect ratio on a stretched pixel display.

I'm using it with flex 2 framework / flash 9. It's kinda a letdown, first thing, it has a bad conflict with TortoiseSVN which caused it to crash right on startup. After researching a bit, Zinc installs old DLL-s which TSVN coughs up with. SWFStudio had the same kind of issue but they fixed it in recent builds. If I knew, I'd buy it instead of Zinc. The control over dialogs and features is terrible. They do support AS3, which we need since it's Flex 2 project. But it's spotty at best. To save binary files we had to take a ByteArray and convert it to a huge HEX string for Zinc to understand. This is of course slow, even in AS3. The Open dialog works, but amusingly the Save dialog doesn't! No matter what we tried, it just won't open or do anything at all. And since the open dialog doesn't check for file existence or anything, now we save files with the open dialog, as weird as it sounds. I'm writing here to ask if someone of you have dealt with those issues in Zinc and have workarounds, fixes, tricks/hacks etc. I'm contacting Zinc support too, but from what I see on their forums, they don't seem willing to answer to other people asking about the same issues.

Screenweaver HX does just work with the SWF. It just means you can extend it's capabilities with haXe if you wanted. From the blurb: the System layer : written in haXe and using the Neko API, you can access the local filesystem, databases, network sockets... You can also easily extend its capabilities by writing your own DLL. the Flash layer : written in haXe or any other technology capable of producing SWF, you can use this layer to display the graphical interface, handle user interactions, play sound and video...

Please now accept my most humble apologies for posting that - completely out of character on my behalf but something (as aforementioned) I needed to get out of my system I too suffered with the original Screenweaver - but as of yet have not tried screenweaver HX on anything more than a fleeting demo, so will not pass judgement, or comment by posting a list of faults on a previous version. I'm sure mProjector is really brilliant, the db's, the bees knees, I can feel myself baked in it's golden rays as it bends over to tie its shoelaces (and if you haven't got a free copy by now Steven they really aren't watching this list properly.) Competition is healthy and to be encouraged As I read it Nicolas was proposing that as Screenweaver is free, then it would undoubtdly do no harm whatsoever to give it a go and see if it does what the original post required. Apparently he was a little to succinct with his suggestion, a four page diatribe may well stand him in better stead next time. Keep on with the good flash man.

I don't think Screenweaver being open and free makes it better considering Screenweaver before it was open and free was, simply put, bad. Here are some facts about Screenweaver. It was extremely buggy, had features that simply did not work, was unstable and would crash without warning and with no notification, had issues with ATI cards when Microsoft Outlook was open, had issues where the CPU usage would spike to 99% and never release making Windows (and the SW app) unresponsive requiring a task manager force quit, had a terrible API for doing the most simple things (something like 15-20 lines of code to make a system tray icon compared to ONE line of code in mProjector, had many functions required 5+ arguments, which reflects poor planning) And the list goes on and on. I wouldn't recommend trusting anything that was based on such bad code unless it was completely rewritten from scratch, which I'm not sure it was. Contrary to that, mProjector has always been rock solid and well thought out and has had asynchronous support since the beginning while all other wrapper developers could not figure how to do it for years. Let me stress that - for years nobody knew how the author of mProjector provided asynchronous support despite their best efforts, and there was plenty of effort from all the wrapper developers. Now that the facts are out of the way, it's time for my opinions. I invite anyone to share a negative experience they had with mProjector (I've never seen or heard a single one), but you can search the archives and there are plenty of developers in the community who have had plenty of negative experiences with Screenweaver. Other wrappers like SWFStudio and Zinc, while not as solid as mProjector, were far more stable than Screenweaver. I would trust any wrapper except Screenweaver to handle functionality that mProjector doesn't have. IMO, the reason Screenweaver was made open source is because it was a mess and the only way to clean it up was to invite other coders to get involved and help fix all its problems. I'm all for open source, but the original Screenweaver code was so bad, I can't bring myself to rely on it. All this being said, major companies trust mProjector as their wrapper of choice for mass deployment. Companies like The Weather Channel, DirecTV, Fox Interactive, Earthlink, and Turner Broadcasting. I think the paltry $199 (or $300 for both platforms) is worth the peace of mind of owning the most solid, well-built, best API, easiest to use Flash wrapper on the market. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training

RE: [Flashcoders] Hex to HSB
I'm doing this in flash 9, the hex to rgb conversion is sweet and plenty fast
enough, it's when I throw in the HSB conversion that is bogs down. It has to be
done pixel by pixel as the type of transform depends on the input value of each
individual pixel.
[We're doing tilemap adjustments for a large screen made up of LED panels (so
small res, think 340 by 122 pxls) so we have to do both Gamma and Colour
correction.]

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Hex to HSB
No, pretty much the way hsb -- rgb works, you need to have the numbers
separate. You could probably create some awkward transform that tries really
hard not to break them up, but it would end up being a lot more complicated,
and not worth it.
Besides, going from 0xRRGGBB to 0xRR, 0xGG, 0xBB is very fast (just 3 ANDs
and 2 bitshifts).
// takes a color in the form 0xRRGGBB returns an object with the fields r,
g, and b
function hex2rgb(c:Number):Object
{
return {
r:(c16)0xff,
g:(c8)0xff,
b:c0xff
};
}
// takes an object with fields r, g, and b, returns a color in the form
0xRRGGBB
function rgb2hex(c:Object):Number
{
return (c.r16) | (c.g8) | (c.b);
}
and then here's a quick test:
var c = hex2rgb(0xabcdef);
trace(r=0x+c.r.toString(16)+ g=0x+c.g.toString(16)+
b=0x+c.b.toString(16));
trace(color=0x+rgb2hex(c).toString(16));
then, assuming your rgb2hsv and hsv2rgb functions take an object as input,
you could do:
// read in hsv from a pixel
var hsv:Object = rgb2hsv(hex2rgb(bmp.getPixel(x,y)));
// transform hsv.h, hsv.s, hsv.v, etc
hsv.h /= 2;
hsv.s = 50;
hsv.v = Math.random()*100;
// put back our transformed pixel
bmp.setPixel(x,y,rgb2hex(hsv2rgb(hsv)));
--
Now, this is all theoretical, but I don't think flash 8 is fast enough to do
this calculation on a real-time video of any decent size. flash 9 might be
able to handle it.
But if you just want to do some color transforms, i'd suggest looking at the
built in transform classes instead of trying to do it yourself
pixel-by-pixel. These should be much faster, because the transform code will
be native, instead of in actionscript. They are pretty flexible, you can do
a lot with them.

I guess that noone out there has created a data grid and tried to make it sortable? I've got a datagrid. Users ideally would be able to select multiple rows a la shift-click. Then they click either 'move down' or 'move up', which modifies the data provider, sets the grid's data provider, then sets the selectedIndices to what it was before. This results in terrible graphical glitches, and its also reporting the wrong number of lines. I'd preferably at this point either: A: Find some magic fairy dust to fix the DataGrid B: Find some replacement component that does what the DataGrid does, but does not suck. If i don't do that then I have to: C: Write my own DataGrid, which is fine, and I need to do it anyway, but not right now if I can help it.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Special characters?
How does one access characters in a font that are beyond the
standard ascii 127 characters? I'm about to start working
with a custom font that has icons in the outer reaches of the
key map. The icons are in locations 288 - 318.
Any ideas how to get these characters?
Thanks in advance,

RE: [Flashcoders] Best way to learn OO Analysis and Design withActionScript
I find the hardest thing to get my head around is the absurd amount of Jargon involved in OOP - for what are essentially simple concepts. I really wish we wouldn't perpetuate the practice of trying to make ourselves important by using such a verbal smokescreen. Once you get past the copious amounts of conceptual diarrohea the actual fundamentals are fairly easy to understand. I know it's easier to define concepts using singular terms, but it would seem that OOP tends to go overboard with this a hell of a lot. OOP dictionary anyone?

It helps me to step outside of the code and focus on the logic behind the business decisions. Understanding sequence diagrams (user clicks button, event is passed to manager, etc) first can help you sketch out class diagrams that eventually turn into really scalable systems.

RE: [Flashcoders] Best way to learn OO Analysis andDesign withActionScript
it's crucial to be in sync with specialist language and concepts Completely agree, but Jargon in any industry is always a barrier to effective communication between the initiated and the uninitiated, whether it is intentional or not. I just find that the OOP literati can sometimes be a little too keen when it comes to overcomplicating things for the sake of good OOP. And this includes the abundance of interchangeable jargon, for patterns, techniques and basic concepts. And yes sometimes believe it or not I think (especially on forums and blogs etc.) that some of this comes down to a basic good old fashioned I know more oop than you do dick measuring competition. Once initiated into this clique it then gives us a warm feeling to perpetuate the problem by showing everyone just how complicated we can make the simplest of things seem.

The thing is, that as soon as you swap out one bitmapdata for another (or the holder bitmap class), you lock it anyway. The lock function on itself does not replace the functions of a double / triple / frame buffer or a pageflipping routine. But you could easily intergrate these functions.
