Re: [Flashcoders] Cache Issue
add a query at the end of the xml string when loading.
var cb = new Date().getTime();

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Grab Textfield Value from Javascript
*In JS:*
mainFlash = document.getElementById('flash'); //id of the object element
mainFlash.asFunc(); //trigger flash with an external interface call
*In Flash:*
//Flash listens for asFunc in JS and knows to execute myFunc
ExternalInterface.addCallback('asFunc', myFunc); //my Func is an
actual function in my AS3;
myFunc will contain your script to grab the text in the TF and send
it back to JS.

Re: [Flashcoders] FDT, version control and project files
Hey Alias, At my current place of work, we almost always use SVN to control our projects. Lately, we have started to noticed that the SVN plugin with FDT 3.5 is subpar and likes crap on us often. So some of the guys have started using CornerStone to handle the SVN stuff. I feel it's alot easier to use and more intuitive. Also has a couple of extra features that come in handy. When FDT can't handle the SVN, it's either Cornerstone or Terminal. The only time we do not use SVN is if it's a very small and tight deadline project, where only one developer will be working on it. Only then it seems as an overkill to setup an SVN for that particular project. -Nathan ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Hi Folks!
I have a doubt of how to remove a movieClip from the stage using
removeChild.
I put some sample code in this message and the mc 'ball' has a sound in it.
The process to attach a movie clip on Stage works fine! Also the process to
remove but...
Why does the sound still play without the object on Stage?
What can I do to remove it really from the memory?
var ball:MovieClip = new Ball();
ball.x = ball.y = 100;
addChild(ball);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick, false, 0, true);
function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
this.removeChild(ball);
ball=null
trace(ball)
}
If somebody help me to fix it and continue my job, I'll be very thankful!

When the user clicks a button, there is code to remove the sprite that contains the video and any listeners associated with it, create a new sprite with a new movie.

You could also do an onComplete call to a function that will add to a

parameter.
Of course, I have not used the allTo function. But this has worked for
the regular to and from methods.

If you need to control the entire sequence as a whole (pause(), resume(),
reverse(), restart(), gotoAndPlay(), etc.), definitely insert() them into a
TimelineLite or TimelineMax. If you aren't familiar with TimelineLite/Max,
check out the brief video at http://www.greensock.com/timeline-basics/. But
again, a simple loop along with the delay special property should be all you
need for most situations.

Re: [Flashcoders] Link text indexes in a TextField

Re: [Flashcoders] E4X question: counting number of subnodes
Yeah you should add attributes to your game nodes to seperate them: var games:XML = games game id=1 user/ user/ user/ /game game id=2 user/ user/ /game game id=3 user/ user/ /game /games; then you can use E4X to find the actually amount of users in each game: **Pseudo Code** games.game(@id == 1).user.length(); Nathan Mynarcik nat...@mynarcik.com 254.749.2525 www.mynarcik.com On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 1:18 PM, Glen Pike postmas...@glenpike.co.ukwrote: Hi, I am not sure you can count the sub-nodes without having some sort of differentiator between parent nodes.

Subject: [Flashcoders] masking issues
I don't know if I can attach documents here, but I'm trying it, because my
question involves a fla with a masked textfield on it and a MovieClip in its
library. If attachments don't work, look here:
http://www.freedmania.com/test/MaskIssue/ The scripts are listed below.
There's two ActionScripts here, one launching the other, to simulate my
eventual problem. The symbol in the library, myBox_mc, is linked to class
MyBoxx, which places it on the stage. Traces show that, by the time it's there,
it's parent is the BaseTimeLine. The mask, drawn in the authoring application,
is positioned over a textfield and is precisely the textfield's dimensions. The
rest of the stage is unmasked.
Click on the blue-green thingy (myBox_mc) and drag it around. You'll see that
it's actually under the mask.
I need it on top. What do I need to do?
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
- Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 newbie question: how can I correct this to makean object appear on the stage?
First you are not importing your mybox class correctly. Second, the external
class should start with a capital (MyBoxx.as). Third, your declaration of the
instance is incorrect for how you have it setup.
import myBoxxflash;
var myBoxx:MyBoxx = new MyBoxx();
addChild(myBoxx);
Your external class needs some work as well. I would read up on some tutorials
on how to implement external Classes.

I don't understand why this doesn't work...
I have a MovieClip, myClass.fla, with one symbol in the library, myBox_mc.
Frame 1 of myClass.fla has the following actions:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var myBoxx:MovieClip = MovieClip(myBox_mc);
addChild(myBoxx);
The symbol is exported for ActionScript. Its class remains myBox_mc. Its base
class has been changed to myBoxx. The classPath has been properly configured
and ends in the classes folder. myBoxx.as is in this folder.
The contents of myBoxx.as are:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class myBoxx extends MovieClip
{
public function myBoxx(m:MovieClip)
{
trace(09myBoxx parent +this.parent);
var dmc:MovieClip = m.MovieClip(myBox_mc);
m.addChild(dmc);
}
}
}
When I run this, I get:Symbol myBox_mcerror #1023No default
construtor found in base class myBoxx.
I can't find any other example, or any lesson that tells me what's wrong. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

If your scaling, PNGs are going to look like kaka (this probably isn't something new to you). I would use the blurs and shadows and play with the quality settings.

}
this.checkAnswerNumber=function(userAnswerNumber)
{
if (userAnswerNumber==this.getCorrectAnswerNumber()) {
numOfQuestionsAnsweredCorrectly++;
} else {
numOfQuestionsAnsweredIncorrectly++;
}
feedback = _root[feedback+parseInt((userAnswerNumber+1))]
gotoAndPlay(Feedback);
}
}
function onQuizData(success)
{
var quizNode=this.firstChild;
var quizTitleNode=quizNode.firstChild;
title=quizTitleNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
var i=0;
// items follows title
var itemsNode=quizNode.childNodes[1];
while (itemsNode.childNodes[i])
{
var itemNode=itemsNode.childNodes[i];
// item consists of question and one or more answer
// question always comes before answers (node 0 of item)
var questionNode=itemNode.childNodes[0];
quizItems[i]=new QuizItem(questionNode.firstChild.nodeValue);
var a=1;
// answer follows question
var answerNode=itemNode.childNodes[a++];
while (answerNode)

//trace(answerNode);
var isCorrectAnswer=false;

isCorrectAnswer=true;
//get answer
tempAnswer = answerNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
//go to next node
answerNode=itemNode.childNodes[a++];
//get feedback
tempFeedback = answerNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
//add answer and feedback to current answer/feedback
'pair'
quizItems[i].addAnswer(tempAnswer, isCorrectAnswer,

// goto the next answer

RE: [Flashcoders] Changing angle for better arrangement in circle
I think you might want to look into Papervision3D to get exactly what you want. If not, your math logic is going to have to be crazy to get the results you are wanting.

RE: [Flashcoders] NoCache XML
The nocache in the SWFObject is so the swf isn't cached. I also use the same treatment for the XML that is loaded into the swf. That along with the META tags that call for no caching and that does the trick. I guess for safety purposes, I could add your script as well. Might be overkill, but if it prevents every browser from caching, so be it.

function (parseXML(e:Event) {

It works fine the first time through and then I get an error on the first
recursive call because ixml is not an e:Event
I need to find a way to get around this can I call the function without

RE: [Flashcoders] NoCache XML
The XML file is only called once for the user's experience. On the initial
visit from the user, the XML for the UI of the site is called and then the
XML for the content is called (RSS feed).
If I can't figure this out, I might just set a cookie via JavaScript and
have it clear the contents in -1 days so nothing gets cached from the site.

Just a thought, but maybe setting the variable that holds the XML you
grab from the server to null right before it goes to grab the XML
every time the page gets called.
That way it isn't holding on to the last XML grabbed?? It might be
going to grab the xml while that variable already has a value and the
browser is tripping it to clear the variable
before populating it again, but doesn't have that second call after
its cleared till you refresh. Kind of a pseudo variable caching. Like
I said, its just a thought. Not sure if that is even possible.
I am reaching though, I have had similar situations with my PHP files
not getting variables, so I am interested to see what solution can be
provided.

In basic MVC, the controller listens to both the model and view for events.
Since Flash doesn't have data binding like Flex has, the model might
dispatch an event when a value changes, and the controller would then tell
the view how to change and might send a value to it. Also, the view might
dispatch an event that the controller would be listening for, and the
controller might then tell another view or the model (or both) to change.
So the controller controls the view and the model, but the controller does
not get controlled.
In more advanced patterns and frameworks, you have things like commands
(like in Cairngorm), façades, proxies etc. to also facilitate these
communications.

I missed the beginning of this thread somehow, but FWIW, FlashDevelop
has an Add New Event menu option in the project pane when you right
click on a package folder which makes creating custom events a snap.
All you really have to do is enter the static event constants you want
the event to have and you're done. When you select this option, it
auto-generates a file with this in it:
package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
/**

public class NewEvent extends Event
{
public function NewEvent(type:String,
bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
public override function clone():Event
{
return new NewEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
public override function toString():String
{
return formatToString(NewEvent, type,
bubbles, cancelable, eventPhase);
}

Re: [Flashcoders] NoCache XML
I've tested it in all browsers.
IE, Safari, Opera, Chrome, FireFox
Anything else I don't really care about. But first tests are in chrome and it
is doing it in that. IE has been the worse but all work after refreshing one or
two times.

Re: [Flashcoders] faster work flows?
I think it depends on the design. Its good to be pixel perfect and pay very close attention to detail if your design calls for that. If your layout is more fluid I think that this would be a little less tedious than a design that calls for the pixel perfect look and feel. Regardless, the tedious work is sometimes what we as developers get paid for. If your rate justifies your time spent on such tasks, then hopefully the feeling of needing a better way is less intense. Again, personally, it boils down to the design of the layout. Sometimes the best way is the tedious way. --Original Message-- From: Anthony Pace Sender: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com To: Flash Coders List ReplyTo: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] faster work flows?

Re: [Flashcoders] Apparently Doesn't Check Cache
I actually have experienced the reverse of this issue. Flash caches the dynamic content so hard that I have reverted to using no_cache meta tags in my HTML. Not to OT the topic, but are meta tags the best way to prevent this? I have even though of adding a variable at the end of my dynamic urls with a date element so flash would constantly think its a new XML doc to load everytime.

For example, despite the fact that have a file preloaded' into cache when another request is made for the file it will look at the cache then send a request to the server to see if the file has changed or whether the file in cache is valid to use. If the server returns use file from cache then it will use the cached file otherwise it will load the revised version from the server. First questions would then be what is the header returned as part of the original file request. Is it no-cache or does it set a very short expiry? Are the url's exactly identical or is there any kind of query string associated with the url of one request but not the other? This might be walking on thin ice here, but can you see the file in the browser's cache? Back in the day, when I was doing Director development, there was a period of time that elapsed from when Shockwave loaded the file and the time that it went into the browser's cache. The file was always available within the Shockwave environment but it was immediately visible in the browser's cache. Don't know if a similar situation arises with Flash where the content is loaded but hasn't yet been written into the browser's cache. I'd honestly start out by using something like Internet Explorer where you can easily browse the cached files - blow away the cache and then load your swf preloader app. See if the files are in cache. If they are cool, note the URL associated with them. Then I'd go back and clear the cache again and re-run the app with the new window code in place. I'd run it through to completion and see if there are two copies of said image in cache one from the swf preloader and the other from the new window. If so it would imply that they must be seeing slightly different urls. If not then I'd be looking for no cache headers. Concurrent to this I'd be using something like Fiddler (IE), Charles or Tamper Data or similar app that will allow you to see the requests and the responses and be able to examine the headers and check for no-cache or very short expiry on the headers. Theoretically what you are doing should work, I can't see how placing the image on stage would make any difference. Everything is always a possibility but using a test strategy that stepwise verifies what is getting written into cache and what the request are for the files is a good first step in eliminating many issues.
