[Flashcoders] swf preview in mac oox finder
Hi All, does anybody know if there a way to preview swf file in the finder? I found this tool: http://www.eltima.com/products/swf-live-preview/ I need something for the mac though.

[Flashcoders] static vars / constatnts in Movie Clips - Flash CS3
Hi All,
I want do declare a constant in a class that extends the Movieclip
class.
That all works fine in Flexbuilder:
public class SectionButton extends MovieClip
{
// events
public static const ON_PRESS:String = onPress;
}
Referring to this constant from another class seems o be fine as well
(Felxbuilder does not give me a syntax error.):
import SectionButton;
public class SomeClass
{
public function SomeClass()
{
trace (SectionButton.ON_PRESS)
}
}
But if I try to compile my fla file in Flash CS 3 I get the following
error Message:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property ON_PRESS through a
reference with static type Class.
Any Ideas?
Robin

Re: [Flashcoders] static vars / constatnts in Movie Clips - Flash CS3
Works fine for me... How are you creating SomeClass instance?
like this - it's all really basic
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import de.formDivision.fdCD.view.slidePlayer.SectionButton;
public class Test extends MovieClip
{
public function Test()
{
var mySectionButton:SectionButton = new SectionButton();
this.addChild(mySectionButton);
// here I get the compiler error
trace (SectionButton.ON_PRESS);
// The foo class does not extend the Movie Clip class - no coplier
errors here...
var myFoo:Foo = new Foo();
trace (Foo.VALUE);
}
}
}
/ and here is the SectionButton Class - I deleted
everything but the static variable declaration
package de.formDivision.fdCD.view.slidePlayer
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import de.formDivision.fdCD.vo.SectionVO;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
public class SectionButton extends MovieClip
{
// events
public static const ON_PRESS:String = onPress;
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] static vars / constatnts in Movie Clips - Flash CS3
I found the mistake. I set the id in linkage properties to
SectionButton and the base class to
de.formDivision.fdCD.view.slidePlayer.SectionButton as well. If I
change the id to SectionButton1 it compiles fine.
Thanks for your help everybody!

package {

[Flashcoders] search engine optimization for flash sites
Hi there, My client wants to have his website optimized for search engines. I don't know much about this topic. The binary data of a flash file can't obviously be read by a search engine though. I have this idea to create a html site map for my flash page. Basically this site map would have short summaries of all flash pages and links to these pages (e.g. http://myDomain.com/myflashPgae.htm?page =home). The search engines should then be able to find the site map page. Ideally this site page would be generated dynamically. But for now a static page will do. Does anybody have experience with such an approach? Any thoughts?

[Flashcoders] Flash exe and Vista
Hi there, I'm using swf studio as a swf wrapper. Unfortunately swf studio has not been updated for vista yet. As a result you have to have administrator rights to run the flash app. Even more annoying is the fact that if you just run the application by double-clicking the exe (or through an autorun file on a CD-ROM) the exe won't start but will still be listed in the task manager. This means that you manually have to quit the application in the task manager before you can start the exe as an administrator. The worst thing about this whole issue is that Microsoft didn't think it was necessary to inform the user in any way when he tries to run a legacy exe. No error message - nothing. The app just won't start. So my question is: Are there any workarounds yet? Do other swf wrapper tools already work with vista? I came up with this idea of creating a vista compatible windows form application. This application would then open an alert popup window, which informs the user that the application which is about to be launched (my flash exe) requires administrator rights. It would then prompt the user to Run the application as an administrator, start the flash exe and quit. Not sure if this is possible though ... Any thoughts?

RE: [Flashcoders] Cairngorm
Hi Greg, Thanks for your reply from a few weeks ago. I just found your message today by accident...:-) I ended up creating my own framework which is basically a simplified version of cairngorm for AS2. I didn't use all of the underlying design patterns but most of them. I found that you can easily replace the data-binding with setter methods in the model though. For each property in my model I also have a setter method. Commands that want to update a property in the model will call a setter method. The model then not only updates its property but also dispatches an event to all its listeners/views. - This works perfectly.

[Flashcoders] HTML formated text in Flash 8 SWF
Hi all, This is wired. It seems html text in a flash 7 swf behaves differently than html text in a flash 8 swf. var myText =pbHeadline/b/p pSome text/p; this.myTextField.html = true; this.myTextField.htmlText = myText; the swf 7 text filed displays: HeadlineSome text // the whitespace between the p tags is ignored. the swf 8 text filed displays: Headline Some text Note that I use the flash 8 player to view both swf files. I have a few xml documents which have a lot of html formatted text in an CD-DATA tag. Getting rid of the whitespace between the html tags would be a bit of a nightmare + the XML document would not be readable/editable anymore. Any ideas how to get around this problem?

RE: [Flashcoders] HTML formated text in Flash 8 SWF
Hi EKA, Too easy. For this application I'm using the v2 text area component. condenseWhite is not listed as a property. I realized that the text area component doesn't inherit properties from the flash text field. myTextArea.label.condenseWhite=true works fine though. Thanks for the tip! It's a bit strange that the default value for this property changes depending on the version of the swf file. Cheers Robin where I should have looked up the text filed properties. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of eka Sent: Wednesday, 30 August 2006 1:43 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] HTML formated text in Flash 8 SWF Hello :) try to use TextField.condenseWhite property :) http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flashlite/2/main/0816.html EKA + :) 2006/8/29, Robin Burrer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all, This is wired.

RE: [Flashcoders] flash widgets
Yes I know. I think dashboard will just crop the browser window though. I was thinking more of a cross platform application, which supports the swf format. Features of such an application would be: - Starts in the background when you boot the computer - You could assign a keyboard shortcut to show/hide widgets - You can easly install widgets by adding swf files to a particular folder - you would have access to some of the operating system APIs (e.g. show battery level) Basically all features of the yahoo widget application + swf support. Maybe Yahoo could just add swf support. Or Adobe could add a widget mode in Apollo...

RE: [Flashcoders] |:::| can you write dynamic meathods in a class?
If I want to change the behavior of an object dynamically I rather
create a new class to encapsulate the functionality. I might have to
write more code but I think it this is a very clean approach.
class CustomClickBehavior implements Clickable
{
public function click():Void
{
trace (hello world!);
}
}
// class
class Foo
{
var myClickBehavior: Clickable;
// here I can change the behavior to what ever I want
public function setClickBehavior (myClickBehavior:
Clickable):Void
{
this. myClickBehavior = myClickBehavior;
}
public function onClick():Void
{
myClickBehavior.click();
}
}
// Interface
Interface Clickable
{
public function click():void;
}
// code
var myFoo = new Foo();
var myCustomClickBehavior = new CustomClickBehavior();
myFoo.setClickBehavior(myCustomClickBehavior);

That is a good idea! I just tried one of simpler layout (at least to me

import utils.Delegate;
//Create array to pass multiple args in - both string and number for
testing
var aMyArgs:Array = [1, 2, 'three', 4];
//use the delegate
this.menuBtn.addEventListener(click, Delegate.create(this, onHit1,

//create the btn event to handle the click
function onHit1(o:Object, n:Array)
{
for (i = 0; i n.length; i++)
{
trace(it was hit with the arg: + n[i]);
}
}
This is VERY handy (well to me anyways) to be able to pass in what ever
args I need to.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Lite - what's happening
Well that might be case for Japan but I haven't seen a flash lite enabled mobile here in Australia. I just went to Europe a couple of weeks ago and Flash Lite dose not seem to be a big thing there either. Furthermore, I really can't be bothered developing Flash lite v.1.1. If Flash Lite were on every handset in the world and had full projector capability ( integration with hardware and OS ) - what would you do with it? Well - you could for example create widgets for mobile phones or games. Or you could use it as marketing tool, similar to a CD-ROM. However you would download the application via Bluetooth for a Flash lite terminal ... I think what we need is something like the Frog in the Blender application. I can remember that after this silly flash movie was sent around as an email attachment people suddenly knew what Flash was. Obviously we would need something more mature now. My point is Flash became successful because people can easily create Flash content and it can be played on almost any computer.

[Flashcoders] Flash Lite - what's happening
Hi there, I think I don't really understand Adobe's policy regarding flash Lite. First of all how come they talking about flash Lite for ages and I have not met anybody (besides other flash developers) with flash enabled mobile yet? Secondly, why is the player not for free? I mean fair enough Adobe tries to make money by selling the player to mobile phone manufacturers, but somehow I think it would be more beneficial for flash platform and Adobe if the player was for free. When you go to Adobe Flash Lite page and click on supported devices it shows you a number of different mobile phones and 95% of them only support v 1.1. My Nokia 6670 plays flash Lite 2.0 content just fine btw. I mean what's the point in going six years back to Flash 4 and use this technology for the latest handsets? I rather wait another ten years than go back and write Flash 4 code again... Why can't they provide a flash projector provider for mobile phones? All flash lite applications I have seen so far were standalone applications anyway. This way people could actually start developing applications without having to worry if the user has the plug-in installed. Don't get me wrong I'm really impressed with the performance of Flash Lite 2.0 player and its capabilities. Maybe that's why frustrated...

[Flashcoders] where to put AS 3 classes
Hi there, I'm playing around with AS 3 and Flex 2 at the moment. With AS 2 I used to organize my classes in subdirectories e.g. com.domain.utilities.SomeClass. I found that especially helpful when using classes in different projects. I can't really figure out how to do this with flexbuilder 2.0. Whenever I want to create a new AS class FlexBuilder asks me for the parent folder which has to be either flex- or an action script project folder. But that's not what I want. I just want to specify a directory on my hard drive where I put all my classes. I'm looking for something similar to the classpath settings in the Flash IDE. How would you do this with Flexbuilder 2?

[Flashcoders] another AS 3 question
Hi
How do I control the timeline of a loaded swf file (created with the
Flash 8 IDE) with AS 3? My problem is that the content property of a
Loader object returns me a display object but not a movieclip.
I tried casting but my application crashes when I try to run it.
Any ideas?
Robin
// here's my callback function, which is executed once the external swf
is // loaded
private function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void
{
var myDisplayObject:DisplayObject =
myLoader.content;
// this creates an run time error
loadedSWF = myDisplayObject as MovieClip;
loadedSWF.play();
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Test CPU/performance/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 :-)

I'm building a fairly demanding site that has a fair bit of animation

rendering capabilities of the users computer.
Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to achieve this?
Off
the top of my head I guess finding out the highest FPS the current

I'd say pretty much everybody runs at least a 1024 X 768 resolution these days. Most of the times I use 800x600 though, because of performance issues.

RE: [Flashcoders] CD ROM dimensions?
Changing the resolution is an excellent way to make your application run full screen - it dose not increase the performance though. And if need a higher screen resolution (e.g. to show large screenshots) such as 1024 * 768, it's not a solution either.

Just to clarify the performance hit with 3rd party projectors compared to the Adobe standalone player. It's due to the fact that the 3rd party tools use the ActiveX player, which as we know does not run as high as the other players with regards to framerate. Of course nothing stops you from changing the framerate to compensate. With a tool like SWF Studio you can actually increase the performance by using it's ability to change the screen resolution using DirectDraw to run your app at an even lower resolution while keeping the app fullscreen.

RE: [Flashcoders] CD ROM dimensions?
Changing a user's resolution without asking them first is a HUGE no-no. Who was talking about this? There are defiantly scenarios (Such as presentations for exhibitions or flash games provided on CD) where it makes sense to change the screen resolution. I would not use this feature for a desktop application. But I agree you should not do this automatically.. Robin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Sacks Sent: Friday, 19 May 2006 3:11 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] CD ROM dimensions? As a former Director programmer and desktop application developer, with 10 years experience in the industry, I have one thing to say to Flash developers who have little to no experience developing desktop applications. Changing a user's resolution without asking them first is a HUGE no-no. Don't do it. Why shouldn't I change their resolution automatically? I hear from the desktop application development neophytes. Such sweet innocence. Your incredulous cries shall be answered forthwith. First, many displays, laptop displays (read: flatscreens) in particular, only like to display at a specific resolution. Changing the resolution on these displays can result in unintended side effects. On some, everything gets extremely jagged, pixelated, blocky (i.e. crappy). On others, it simply puts deadspace around the sides whilst making the visual area smaller (oh the irony). Either way, your goal of making things look bigger and better for the user just got Punk'd (Punk'd used with express permission from Ashton Kutcher and MTV/Viacom, all rights reserved). Second, if the display in question (laptops and desktops) cannot display at the resolution you switch it to, a possible side effect is no display whatsoever. And since it wasn't done by the resolution control panel in Windows, there is no 15 second timeout if you can't see it anymore. This might not be an issue on braille monitors, but those account for 0% of your target audience (ed: and they don't exist). Your application just broke my computer! exclaims Irate User. Which segues nicely to the next point. Third, when you decrease a monitor's resolution, you completely screw up any icon arrangement on the desktop. If you're looking to completely irritate your userbase, congratulations you win! You've just caused the user to associate negative emotions to whatever you were trying to convey. Fourth, don't poop where you eat. People have their computers set up the way they like them. They like their resolution just how it is, thank you. Many users have flatscreen displays nowadays, which you can't or don't want to change resolutions on anyway. Fifth, even if you ask permission, many users don't know that any of the things I've mentioned will befall them should they agree to your request, and some users automatically click No to such things anyway. Lucky for you, Flash can stretch to fill the screen. You just need to design for that by using vector art for the UI, although raster images look fine up to a point. Stretching Flash may cause a slight performance hit, but you can also code your application to dynamically resize itself based on the user's current resolution, which takes more finesse and planning. The only time you should change the resolution without asking is in a kiosk enviroment where you control the machine and you're not going to piss anyone off or break something by doing so. 800x600 is only 224x168 smaller than the average resolution these days. Try a nice border around the edge, black or a dark grey usually works best and after a few minutes most users won't even notice it anymore (much like the black bars at the top and bottom of widescreen movies). Make a friend of your users, not an enemy. Just say no to resolution changes.

[Flashcoders] loader component - scaleContent does not always work
Hi there,
I'm having trouble with the v2 Loader component. The scaleContent does
not always work. Every 20th time or so the loaded jpeg image is not
scaled.
This happens rather randomly which is a bit of a pain.
Here's a code that I'm using to initialize a loader component. Note that
I'm creating up to twenty loader components at the same time. The idea
is that when the first loader has finished loading it is set to visible
and the next loader starts loading ...
private function iniLoader(loaderRef:Loader,myURL:String)
{
loaderRef.autoLoad = false;
loaderRef.contentPath = myURL;
loaderRef.scaleContent = true;
loaderRef.load();
loaderRef.addEventListener(complete, this);
}
I played around with order of the setting the properties but it didn't
help either.
Any ideas?
Robin

I set my system clock two years back (even though I'm pretty sure the system clock of the computer I created the file originally is set correctly) -didn't help either. I had similar problem a couple of moth ago. I had two classes which both had a variable of the data type of the other class. The flash complier (back then it used flash 7) gave me the same error message. I found a workaround by declaring one of the variables as an object datatype so I didn't have to import the class. In this application this is however not the case. I hope all these issues will be solved in AS3.

Just create reference to your class. You will need that a lot ...

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] OOP newbie question
Hi,
The problem here is scope. When you call parseMessages, you doing it in
the
scope of the mySocket object (where the method doesn't exist.)
There's a pretty simple workaround for this using the Delegate utility
that
comes with Flash.
At the top of your class file, do this : import mx.utils.Delegate;
Change this line: mySocket.onXML = handleIncoming;
To this: mySocket.onXML = Delegate.create(this,handleIncoming);
And that should solve your problem. Basically you're creating a proxy
function on the XMLSocket object that then invokes the handleIncoming
function on your OSC object. There are other ways to do this, but I
think
the Delegate method is generally considered the best practice.
Hope that helps,
Jim

Here is a OOP newbie question.
I have a class (see below)..
Everything works fine. but the method handleIncoming can not access ()
or
maybe even find) the method parseMessages.
If I give the complete path to the instance of the OSC class (made in my
fla
- for example _root.OSC_Obj.parseMessages (xmlIn); ) it works.
How should I code this to make it works ?
class OSC
{
var mySocket : XMLSocket;
//
//
public function OSC ()
{
connect ();
}
//
//
function connect ()
{
mySocket = new XMLSocket ();
mySocket.onXML = handleIncoming;
}
//
//
function handleIncoming (xmlIn)
{
parseMessages (xmlIn);
}
//
function parseMessages (node)
{
actions..
}
}
Thanks for your attention,

RE: [Flashcoders] Flex Style Flash MX2004 Components
Whenever I want to build a cool flash application and I have enough time and resources I don't use flash components. Don't get me wrong I really like the idea of flash (v2) component architecture. I wouldn't mind spending hours (as I did in the past) skinning and formatting them. The only thing I ask for is a component set, that dose not decrease the performance of my application. I created my own UI components for my applications. Ok they are not skinable but they do their job just fine and my application runs smoothly. And it certainly takes me less time to modify their graphics than it takes me to figure out why my v2 application temporally freezes or why it takes a second for a label in radio button to appear. I mean that's what's flash all about - good looking and smoothly running applications.
