[Flashcoders] Problem with Windows Projector, Fullscreen and Video
Hello, This is my first e-mail to the list and I have a problem: I have made a video player using FLVPlayback component and loading an external flv file (on2 VP6 codec). The file output is a Windows Project, with the full screen enabled. It's working very well, but in one of the PC's I have tested (in the others, it works fine) the video does not display. Everything works (sound, controls and close button) but the video. If I exit the full screen mode, the video displays. The player's version is 9, the Flash IDE version is CS3, the action script version is AS3 and I've already used the "fullScreenTakeOver" set as false. Thanks =) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Loader bytesTotal equals to 0
Hi,
If you have 20 items that needs to be loaded, all 20 items have to have
started loading before bytesTotal can be determined. Otherwise it'll remain
at 0.
This best explains it and an alternative provided as well:

Re: [Flashcoders] binary-coded image
Hi, BitmapData class has a threshold method that does what Ashim mentioned which if you were to go to the extreme 0 and 255 of a pixel value you'd ultimately obtain a black and white image anyway. Main use of thresholding however is for image processing purposes which I will not go in depth here and not really to help save size because you won't be able to get your image back unless you save the pixel values of the original. I'm guessing you might mean using the ByteArray class which can be used to store binary data and has a built-in compress method to boot.

Re: [Flashcoders] "hover" event for links in HTML textfields - possible?
Hi, In addition to what Glen said, I suggest that you refer to this post here: http://troyworks.com/blog/2008/03/14/flash-textfield-actionscript-hyperlink-in-as30/ It's mentioned there that rollovers can be detected using TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint(x:Number, y:Number). Although you can use CSS to change links during "hover" it doesn't dispatch an event for you listen to.

[Flashcoders] FLVPlayback goes blank on fullscreen
Hi List, I'm hoping someone has encountered this issue and solved it. I've got a SWF with a FLVPlayback component in it that streams a FLV video. It's all fine and dandy when I launch the SWF directly into a Standalone Flash Player. Maximising it or resizing the window is fine. However, when I make the window go fullscreen (ie: CTRL+F) the FLVPlayback disappears. When I exit fullscreen, I get it back and I can see that the video is just progressing on it's own without stopping. After surfing around for clues, I found another person who has the same issue but there was no solution either: http://www.afcomponents.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2936 Any idea people?

Re: [Flashcoders] targeting an event listner to a button inside a movieclip?
Michael,
(It slipped my mind, this)
OR - you could use ADDED_TO_STAGE EventListener in that frame, and have a
function wrap around your button listener code. Should do the trick.

Re: [Flashcoders] targeting an event listner to a button inside a movieclip?
Michael,
Fix 1 (more like Issue 1) is probably the issue you're facing:
http://curtismorley.com/2007/08/15/flash-cs3-flex-error-1009-cannot-access-a-property-or-method-of-a-null-object-reference/
I've made similar tests that scripts just don't work because the objects are
not there yet even though you're supposed to be on that frame already. There
might be better fixes, but you could "try" a gotoAndPlay instead to
"mainoffice" and add a stop() to the next frame and have your EventListener
code there.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash - Hardware Interfacing/Communication
Ian / Eric, Has there been any of such implementations carried out that I can take a look at, even snippets of codes or any of that sort? Unfortunately I don't have experience in this although as a programmer I can understand the gist of what you're both telling me so far and able to conceptualized (as much as I can) what is required. Hopefully there will be information available that would help me get on with my way. Kevin, Yeah, Director did cross my mind and as you've mentioned it has laid dormant for too long and although Adobe claims to be improving it for a next release, I've decided to follow something that has (and most probably will compared to Director) to continue being worked and stabilized further.

What is required is that all this are to be operated seamlessly without any other application dialogs popping up over the Flash interface.

Hello to everyone I have installed FMS2, Flash 8; Flash Player and plug in as said as installation guide. After installation, I ran an example showns in Examples found in Adobe, posted to practice for developers. I cant run the examples, and shows an error "NetConnection.connect.failure". I believe that I installed in the correct way the FMS2 software, and I cant find why is that error.

[Flashcoders] FLV issues on Mac & PC
Hello, We're creating a training CD-Rom that uses multiple swfs and FLVs. One of the requirements is that the CD-Rom work both on a Mac and PC. We're having some difficulties getting the FLVs to play on the Mac. The problem seems to stem from differences in how the Mac (Safari?) pull FLVs. If I have the FLV on the root directory of the CD-Rom with the main_application.swf file, it plays fine, but if I have the course directories structured how I would like (explained below) it wont play on the Mac. It continues to play on the PC. I would like to have all my swfs organized in volume->chapter folder structure, and all the FLV videos in a separate Videos folder at the root level. Since the main_application.swf loads in other SWFs, the loaded swfs are treated as if they too are on the root level (instead of e:\volume\chapter\loaded_swf.swf). This would seem to work fine, because then I could still point al the swfs to look for the flv in the videos directory at the root, but like I said, unless I have the FLVs on the root level they won't load. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get this system to work on the Mac. If I put all the flvs at the root level it will work, but we're looking at some 50+ flvs, and that would be really cluttered and un-organized. We'd also like to avoid using projectors, since this will eventually be moved to the internet. Thoughts or suggestions much appreciated. Let me know if you need further clarifications.

Hello, We have a main_preloader.swf that loads our main_app.swf. The main_app.swf has a ComboBox V2 component. When main_app.swf is run by itself, it works beautifully, but when its loaded into the main_preloader.swf the ComboBox is broken. It highlights when clicked, but won't open or do anything else. When I drop the combo box in the main_preloader.swf, it works fine, but that jumps the size of the main_preloader.swf to 58kb - much too big to be a good preloader.

[Flashcoders] Actionscript Optimization!
Hey, Since you folks were so incredibly helpful last time I threw out a silly question, I thought I'd toss out another... =) The other replies to my previous thread (+Inifinite Loop -Dignity) triggered a couple AS optimization hints, which I will be using! So I was wondering if the kind mister Kremens was correct in stating that shorter variable names aid in speeding up AS code. Fine, fine, he said he was joking, but I do remember a reading document about optimizing C++ programs saying the same thing. Is there a good resource I can go to for reading up on AS code optimization? Do practices from lower-level languages like C++ even apply in a language like ActionScript? Am I smoking something I shouldn't be? I love you all. -- Daniel ___ 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] RE: +Infinite Loop -Dignity
Thanks everyone for the input! It works now. I'm simplifying my architecture at the moment, as I do understand that function calls are quite costly in the world of ActionScript. Danny's suggestion was mostly correct, however an Animation instance is unaware of a Scene, so an Animation's update function couldn't have been calling a Scene's update function over again. (This is intended behavior.) It had to do with the fact that an animation was capable of having another animation added unto itself. This wasn't correct, and was supposed to have been removed from my implementation. It wasn't, so that's what created the infinite loop. The reason I'm jumping through so many hoops, as David puts it, is that the Game class is responsible for managing a Scene, which in turn is responsible for updating in-game graphical Elements. The reason Game doesn't do this by itself is that it should not be aware, or even care, about the Elements currently loaded. It should concern itself with game-level mechanics only, such as managing the difficulty and score. Sorry if it sounds like I'm ranting. Clear sometimes not me, often that.

[Flashcoders] +Infinite Loop -Dignity
I feel really stupid right now. No, not that stupid. I mean really stupid.
Take the highest level of stupid you can imagine and double that. Yes, now
you've got it!
I have a class named Game.
Game.start() calls setInterval(this, "update", 1000).
Game.update() calls _gameScene.update().
_gameScene.update() has the following loop inside of it:
for (var i:Number = 0; i != elements.length; i++) {
elements[i].animation.update();
}
That FOR loop puts my humble PC into a coma. The variable 'elements' is not
undefined, and when I call trace(elements.length) I get '2'. I tried
clearing ASO cache (whatever that's worth right now) as a silly precaution.
Excuse me whilst I hang myself.

RE: [Flashcoders] least to greatest
The array class in Flash has a sort numeric (least to greatest) feature:
var myArray:Array = new Array();
myArray.push(5);
myArray.push(1);
myArray.push(65);
myArray.push(3);
myArray.push(56);
myArray.push(9);
myArray.push(-2);
myArray.push(44);
myArray.push(7);
myArray.push(8);
myArray.push(10);
trace("myArray: " + myArray); // myArray: 5,1,65,3,56,9,-2,44,7,8,10
myArray.sort(Array.NUMERIC );
trace("myArray: " + myArray); // myArray: -2,1,3,5,7,8,9,10,44,56,65
Would this work, or do you need to have the numbers pushed onto the
array in a specific order to begin with?

RE: [Flashcoders] scrollpane woes
This seems to be working fine for me, unless I'm missing something... I
copied your code into its own layer on frame one. I then dropped the
ScrollPane component into my library. Created a new MovieClip, exported
it for ActionScript and gave it an identifier of mcEventText.
When I run the swf, it creates the scrollpane, adds the mcEventText
MovieClip and resizes its self to the desired dimensions. If the
mcEventText clip is larger than 292x180 the pane scrolls correctly. I
added a TextArea component and a TextInput component to the mcEventText
clip and it still seems to work fine...
The TextArea will have *its own* scroll bars within mcEventText, and
won't run off the pScrollPane scroller - so you would have nested
scrollpanels. Are you trying to get the scrollbars of the textfield to
use the ones from psScrollPane?

are not adjusting themselvs nor does the pane scroll...here;s the
code...
pScrollPane = this.attachMovie("ScrollPane", "sPane", 0);
pScrollPane.setStyle('borderStyle', 'none');
pScrollPane.tabChildren = false;
pScrollPane.tabEnabled = false;
pScrollPane.__hScrollPolicy = "auto";
pScrollPane.__vScrollPolicy = "auto";
pScrollPane.contentPath = 'mcEventText';
pScrollPane.setSize(292, 180);
pScrollPane._x = mcEventText._x;
pScrollPane._y = mcEventText._y;
any ideas?

[Flashcoders] Excel Exponentiation (caret) Notation
Hi,
Hi, I've stumbled upon this function call in Excel:
=LINEST(A1:A7,B1:B7^{1,2,3})
And I'm having issues with this last bit:
"B1:B7^{1,2,3}"
Let's say B1:B7 is an array from 1 to 7 considering this Excel notation:
"B1:B7"
It would look like this in ActionScript:
var n1:Number = 1;
var n2:Number = 2;
var n3:Number = 3;
var n4:Number = 4;
var n5:Number = 5;
var n6:Number = 6;
var n7:Number = 7;
var myArray:Array = [n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7];
Now, if I change this, considering the following Excel notation:
"B1:B7^2"
It would look like this ActionScript:
var n1:Number = Math.pow(1, 2);
var n2:Number = Math.pow(2, 2);
var n3:Number = Math.pow(3, 2);
var n4:Number = Math.pow(4, 2);
var n5:Number = Math.pow(5, 2);
var n6:Number = Math.pow(6, 2);
var n7:Number = Math.pow(7, 2);
var myArray:Array = [n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7];
But what on earth happens to the array with this Excel notation???
"B1:B7^{1,2,3}"

I'm a developer on the Floorplanner team (check www.floorplanner.com) and I ran into some crossdomain issues. All the furniture elements are separate swf's which are loaded in one by one. For the sake of scalability we are thinking about moving all the furniture swf's to the Amazon S3 service. So I've uploaded all the swf's to Amazon S3 and I made a little test app to see how things worked. To be short, it didn't. You can load swf's, but no moving, scaling, changing color etc. So I made a new test app using another server of our own: www.floorplanner.nl (because I've more control over this one). Every furniture swf has an movieclip with the name "color". When you select a color in the Floorplanner, the color of this movieclip is changed. My test app checks if it can access that color movieclip. When I run it inside the Flash IDE there is no problem, but run it anywhere else and it will fail. Here is my little test app: http://www.floorplanner.com/assets/lab/crossdomaintest.swf http://www.floorplanner.com/assets/lab/crossdomaintest.fla I've set my crossdomain files to allow everything (for now): http://www.floorplanner.nl/crossdomain.xml http://www.floorplanner.com/crossdomain.xml Can anybody help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

RE: [Flashcoders] dynamic text not wrapping
HI nik again, sorry but these code are of the help and I don't read it so much.
These options are for a single-line textfield, that grows "infinitely". If you
want to use multiline you must to set to "true"
With the autosize you have to take care because, they are a lot of bugs about
this property of the TextFields.
I have to make my own function to autoadjust my textfield. It gets the width of
the textfield, then It makes the autosize to "none", it sets the width, and
sets the autosize to the param ("left" or "right") and it aligns the textfield
again.
// Begin code
function autoadjustTXT(field:TextField, algnText:String){
var wtext:Number;
wtext = field._width;
field.autoSize = "none";
field._width = wtext
field.autoSize = algnText;
field.align = algnText;
}

HI,
Danny, no I didn't set the wrap property explicitly in actionScript,
but only selected multiline (NOT 'multiline no wrap') in the
properties. I should mention that it is a dynamic textfield.
Daniel, why do I have to create it multiline and wrap = false, only to
set these properties to tru later on?
Will do some tests,

Hello All -- I am desperately trying to figure out how to read GPS data into Flash on a Pocket PC. I have a bluetooth GPS unit and a Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 5.0. Here is what I've tried: 1. Found a couple of .NET Compact Framework .dlls for Windows Mobile. These have methods for connecting to GPS devices and reading location data. I installed .NET CF on the Pocket PC and I tried using Zinc 2.5 to connect to the .dlls but with no luck. Later I found out that Zinc for Pocket PC supports Windows Mobile 2003, but not later versions such as 5.0. 2. There is an article on the Adobe Flash developer's site about a GPS/Pocket PC project called "Invisible Ideas". The project was done by writing a C++ application that would read the GPS data from the serial port. It would communicate with Flash via an XMLSocket connection. Unfortunately, the article provides no information about the C++ side of things (not that it would help much as I am not a C++ or .NET developer). I am now trying to think of other methods for accomplishing my goal. Any ideas? Does anybody know of someone who has succesfully accomplished the same thing?

Hi Jason and everyone, I'm from Spain and I'm new in FlashCoders (sorry my bad english). Have you seen the XML with the IE7 when you had the error?

I'm using XML.sendAndLoad() to send XML to a server retrieve xml back as a response. This is code which has been running in production for years without problem until earlier this month. The problem occurs on the XML object's "onLoad" handler which gets a "success" parameter from the player indicating if the message succeeded or not. Periodically, the flash player reports the message failed (success is false) but my web debugger shows the message was retrieved successfully (I use Charles web debugger).

RE: [Flashcoders] splitting the list?
This topic, or at least one very similar, was just brought up earlier this week. See subject: [Flashcoders] Motion to combine coders and newbies. I personally think many of the questions being posted here probably belong in FlashNewbies, and not enough people know about that list. I know I'm guilty of posting newbie questions here because I didn't even know about the other list until this week. I'd like to see the list stay as is, but would like to see more revealing subject lines instead of the many "Problem!" "Help!" "Is this an error?" type lines that don't give any idea of what the actual problem is and make it difficult to search the list to reference solutions for your own problems (thus not requiring a repost if its already been covered). Another idea that I support was the use of additional tags in the subject line such as [XML] or [server] so people can use their own filtering. Just my two cents. Daniel Holth I.S.

Give this a shot. Planet_mc is the movieclip to be rotated around,
satalite_mc is the one to orbit it.

var _radius:Number = 100;
var _rotationSpeed:Number = 5;
onEnterFrame = function () {
_angle += _rotationSpeed;

Subject: [Flashcoders] rotating a movie clip around another movie
clip...
so I'm fairly new to using actionscript for everything in my
flash
and I was wondering if there was a way to rotate a movie clip around
another movie clip that is already rotating. here's the scenario...I
have a "crystal ball" that is floating in a circle thanks to
actionscript. this ball has 2 "light squares" on it to give the
impression of glass/lights/etc...I also have a separate shadow
movieclip on the ground below the ball that I am changing the size
and alpha according to the y position of the ball movieclip (via
actionscript, of course). I want to do the same thing with these
light squares. I'd like to give the effect of when the ball floats
down, the light squares rotate/move up on the ball and vise versa.
this would give the effect that this is just a glass ball floating in
space with overhead lights that are stationary. so that's what I
want to do and maybe it's way too far over my head for now, but I
guess I gotta learn somehow! so...is there a way to rotate/move this
light square movieclip according to the x & y axis of the ball
movieclip? any help would be appreciated...right now, I've been just
copying and pasting code in there and seeing what happens. I'm a
designer and not a math wiz, but I'm slowly learning. thanks!

RE: [Flashcoders] Motion to combine coders and newbies.
I wasn't even aware of Flash Newbies before finding FlashCoders. I'm sure I posted a few questions here that were better suited for Flash Newbies. I think it's a publicity problem more than anything - when I did a Google search to find flash help, I don't think I ever got an archived version of a FlashNewbies in the response, but quite a few from FlashCoders. I've just subscribed to flash newbies, so hopefully I'll be able to help out. I think encouraging flashcoders to also subscribe to flash newbies would be the best solution. Daniel Holth I.S.

I appreciate the arguments and kind words, but I vote to keep them separate. Here's why: 1) Flashnewbies does have some rather advanced topics from time to time, but we need to help those people graduate to flashcoders, or if they don't get an answer, encourage them to ask on Flashcoders. 2) Flashnewbies is low-traffic (but not REAL low, I still see a dozen or more messages a day), but that's a good thing in some ways. 3) Flashnewbies is a good place to ask non-coding Flash questions, like questions about the IDE or general strategy. 4) Flashbnewbies is (sorry to say), so much more polite, personal, and friendly than Flashcoders. Mixing the two, we'd lose that. Flashcoders is a huge 2000-unit townhome development in the city. Flashnewbies is a small 10 home neighborhood in the country. 5) People who don't get the help they need on Flashnewbies should ask on Flashcoders anyway. 6) Flashcoders don't want to see a bunch of newbie questions on this list, especially when the same questions get asked over and over. It will add traffic they don't want to have to sort or mentally ignore. 7) More Flashcoders should consider subscribing to Flashnewbies just to help people out. Think of it as community service. You might even learn some things (I do). :) 8) If this proposal requires further consideration, we should at least open the same thread on Flashnewbies to get input from people over there.

[Flashcoders] Animating Character Movement
Hello, I'm working on an project where the user uses the arrows keys to move a guy in a kayak left and right across the screen. I have 6 total animations set up: Paddling Left, Idle Facing Left, Turning Left to Right, Paddling Right, Idle Facing Right, and Turning Right To Left. I've never programmed a moving character before, so I'm looking for some tips on the best way to program this sort of thing. I started to create a pseudo-state pattern using a 6 switch statement to figure out what state the character is currently in and responding accordingly when the user presses a key. This seems rather tedious though, and I figured there must be a better way of doing this. I think the part I'm having the most trouble with is the 'turning states'. Any feedback greatly appreciated! I can post some of my current code if it helps, but I really haven't gotten anywhere productive with it yet. Thanks! Daniel Holth I.S.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash and needed computer specs
I use a PC here at work and a Mac at home. I'm very partial to Macs, although I'd have to recommend you wait until Flash CS3 is released. Despite my love of Macs, I'll admit that I find working in Flash almost painfully slow on my Intel Mac because its still running in Rosetta. (Running Flex Builder 2 on the Intel is beautiful though, and I expect similar experiences when CS3 is released). If Mac & upgrading to CS3 isn't an option, I'd just recommend getting as powerful a PC as possible... But still hold on to some of your old ones for testing purposes because Flash will probably fly and run beautifully on your new machine, but may not perform as nicely on some client's older machines. Not sure if I gave you anything useful there... Just my 10 cents (the first two cents are free). Peace.

RE: [Flashcoders] would this bother you?
If you want to free up memory you need to 'delete' all the references,
not just removeMovieClip. I grabbed this from the livedocs:
Usage 4: The following example shows the behavior of delete on object
references:
-
var ref1:Object = new Object();
ref1.name = "Jody";
// copy the reference variable into a new variable
// and delete ref1
ref2 = ref1;
delete ref1;
trace("ref1.name "+ref1.name); //output: ref1.name undefined
trace("ref2.name "+ref2.name); //output: ref2.name Jody
If ref1 had not been copied into ref2, the object would have been
deleted when ref1 was deleted because there would be no references to
it. If you delete ref2, there are no references to the object; it is
destroyed, and the memory it used becomes available.
--
If only have one reference to the object, like in your code, then the
delete should do just fine to free the memory. If you have copied it a
few times, then you will need to keep track of those copies in order to
free the memory.

AFAIK, any instances will remain in memory if there is a reference to it
anywhere. Even if you call the remove methods, they just remove them
from
the Stage/screen but not from the memory stack. You will have to remove
any
references in any instances in order to garbage collect them properly.

i have two fundamental questions. they somewhat keep bothering me:
1. what are the datatypes of a MovieClip instance and a Textfield

MovieClip/Textfield instance?
2. do they remain in the memory after
"removeMovieClip()"/"removeTextField()"? do i need to "delete" the

pls see below:

var tn_nested:MovieClip = tn.createEmptyMovieClip("tnNested", 0);
var tf_nested:TextField = tn.createTextField("tf", 1, 0, 100, 100, 100);

RE: [Flashcoders] re: createTextField
TextFields don't have onRollOver events, but MovieClips do. So you'll
need to first create a MovieClip (like in your first question) and then
create the textField in it. Heres some example code:
var myMovieClip:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovieClip_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace("myMovieClip: " + myMovieClip);
var myTextField:TextField =
myMovieClip.createTextField("myTextField_txt",
myMovieClip.getNextHighestDepth(), 100, 100, 300, 100);
trace("myTextField: " +myTextField);
myTextField.text ="test";
myMovieClip.onRollOver = function(){
myTextField.text = "NEW TEXT";
}
In the code above 'this' would be your _root layer. Coding to _root is
generally considered a bad practice.
Hope that helps!

This may not be the best solution, but it'll get the job done:
// originalTile is a MovieClip on your stage you want to tile.
// Reference the stage
var r = this;
// Number of tiles so far
var i:Number = 0;
// So while they are still on the stage
while(i * originalTile_mc._width < Stage.width){
//Duplicate your original tile
var newTile:MovieClip =
originalTile_mc.duplicateMovieClip("newTile" + i + "_mc",

// Move it into position
newTile._x = i * originalTile_mc._width;
// Increment i

[Flashcoders] Video in Flash
Hi there - I use Sony Vegas, have a 16:9 HDD camcorder that imports mpeg2 video, and want the same results to run really smooth on a website. I realise there are a few stages that need to be done right from origin. I have edited a 2 minute sequence that will be my first step to getting it right. The thing that really confuss me is the fact that it starts at (PAL) 720x576 - project properties are 16:9 which is just how I want the true pixel output to be once it is run through the mill. I need a little advice on rendering the original, then what to do with Sorenson - so that I can show it at, say, 450x253 nicely within a website. There are a few issues like ratio that are confusing me, and I would really appreciate a little assistance. It may be best if you contact me off-list because I will need a little step-by-step guidance I think. I have got the main principles, its just a matter of figuring how exactly to do it. This has taken me all week thus far...!

RE: [Flashcoders] Help: test EventDispatcher speed please
Regarding the test, I think it would be more useful to have people specify whether or not they are on an Intel or an original Mac. I have definitely noticed performance improvements since upgrading to my Intel, but I'm not sure if its only because of the faster processor, if the Flash Player handles the code differently on an Intel, or even if its still runs in Rosetta? As far as site checks and requests, I have to agree with Jason on this. If you are compiling testing statistics, requesting to have them sent off list and then posting a summary after you have completed your tests seems more appropriate. I for one would be interested in the results, but again, they aren't very useful for me if I have to filter through all the posts to figure out what the results were. Just my two cents. -DC Holth -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 11:10 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Help: test EventDispatcher speed please >>I think ppl should be interested by these results mac vs >>pc/linux, don't you think ? :) I know what you're saying but as I see it, it is a site test, "Help: test EventDispatcher speed please".

RE: [Flashcoders] Skewing MovieClip??

Adjusting the yScale will change the dimensions of a movieclip, for example (Hope my ASCII drawings work!) ___ | | |___| Becomes _ | | |_| When you reduce the _yScale. Skewing horizontally would be adjusting the x coordinates on the top of the movieclip but leaving the ones on the bottom.

RE: [Flashcoders] ColorMatrix
Hi Misa,
My EasyTween class has functionality to tween color tints the way you're
wanting.
A description of use is found here:
http://blog.dcholth.com/2007/02/23/easytween-explained/
And you can download the EasyTween.as file here:
http://blog.dcholth.com/downloads/
The only problem with tweening colors, is you may notice it tweens
through what looks like random colors before it gets to the one you
want. This will depend on which color your tweening to and from because
its actually tweening the individual hex values of the color. Tweening
from the original tint (which is none) of the MovieClip shouldn't have
this problem and should go right to the color you want.
If you end up using it, please let me know your thoughts on it, as
you'll probably be the first person to use it besides me :)
Hope it helps!

Hello flash coders,
I need some help with color transformations. I want to change dynamicly
the hue of a MC with a transition/tween, something like fading from one
image to another with different colors. I tried both G. Skinner's and M.
Klingman's colorMatrix class, but the tweening they use is bound to some
object. In G.S's demo there's a scroll bar, and in M.K's he uses two
images. I want to use one of their classes but be able to transform the
color of one MC just with a function: onSomeEvent ... { tweenHue for
myMC from thisHUE to newHUE }.
Thanks in advance

RE: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader woes

The situation: - Flash 8, running in IDE or as local projector (on Win XP) - A whole pile of successful MovieClipLoader calls have been made (probably 50 or so by this stage), _including_ the very same bit of code which later fails. - Nothing else is loading/streaming at the same time. - Three calls (in rapid succession) are made to a function which does the following: - creates a new MovieClipLoader - creates a new MovieClip (at a new depth) - assigns a new listener for the MovieClipLoader - starts loading a .swf into the clip. The first two times, it works perfectly. The third time, no events are fired and the clip apparently doesn't load. On each occasion, we wait for the previous load to successfully complete first (onLoadInit) before we call the function again. Completely repeatable each time. The loaded .swf isn't doing anything odd (it contains no code whatsoever). *sigh* Any ideas? Or robust alternatives to MovieClipLoader? (Bokel's LoaderClass is a little heavyweight for what I want to do, but I might take a look at it).

Actually, nowhere in the application they aren't firing.
Here's the code that disables the application:
public static function disable(message:String):void {

var snapshot:Bitmap = takeSnapshot();
destroyForm();
_container.addChildAt(snapshot, 0);
_container.addChildAt(drawCurtains(), 1);

RE: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
I think Matthew has what you are looking for. Alain's solution should
do what you want too.
If you want to write two classes with lower cohesion so they aren't
referencing each other, you could write a third control class which
would have code similar to the following. This way objA and objB don't
need to know about each other. If another class needs to start
listening for results of the webservices, you add it in here, rather
than making changes to your other classes.
Class controller {
Var objA = new ClassA();
Var objB = new ClassB();
this.eventComboBoxChanged = function(){
// execute functions on B
}
this.eventWebserviceResultsRecieved = function(){
// execute fuctions on B
}
this.eventDataRequested = function(){
// execute functions on A
}
objA.addEventListener("eventComboBoxChanged", this);
objA.addEventListener("eventWebserviceResultsRecieved", this);
objB.addEventListener("eventDataRequested", this);
}
Again, I haven't tested this code, but the basic idea should work as
long as objA and objB are dispatching the events when the changes occur.

RE: [Flashcoders] (no subject)
You need to keep track of the previous x value and compare that to the
new x value. The simplest way to achieve this is an onEnterFrame
function (although note this is the least efficient way).
For example try putting a movie clip called "ball_mc" on your stage and
add this code to the first frame, run it and try dragging the movie clip
around.
var oldX:Number = ball_mc._x;
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(ball_mc._x > oldX){
trace("is moving right");
} else if (ball_mc._x < oldX){
trace("is moving left");
} else {
trace("not moving along x axis");
}
oldX = ball_mc._x;
}
ball_mc.onPress = startDrag;
ball_mc.onRelease = stopDrag;
Hope that helps!

RE: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
Here is your code modified to use the EventDispatcher:
import mx.events.EventDispatcher; // import the event dispatcher
class com.boa.projects.iqrcgenerator.components.AdminData{
public var addEventListener:Function; // Set the functions
public var removeEventListener:Function; // Set the functions
private var dispatchEvent:Function; // Set the functions
private var userData:Object;
// I'm sure you have a different constructor, but you need
// to add that line to it if you want to use the eventdispatcher
public function AdminData(){
mx.events.EventDispatcher.initialize(this); // add this
to constructor
}
public function wsUserDataByLOB(lobDbId:Number):Void{
var getUserListResult:Object = new Object();
getUserListResult =
generatorWebService.GetUserList(lobDbId);
var r = this; // To get this in onResult
getUserListResult.onResult = function(oUser){
r.dispatchEvent({type:"eventOnResult",
user:oUser}); // Dispatch the event
}
}
// I may just take this function out all together since the
event can
// autommatically send them the data.
public function getUserData():Object{
return userData;
}
}
Then in your other class you can do something like:
//myAdminData is an instance of the class above
var r = this;
r.eventOnResult= function(evtObj:Object){
trace("user: " + evtObj.user); // Should return the oUser
object
}
// addEventListener takes the event name, and who you want to listen
myAdminData.addEventListener("eventOnResult", r);
Does that help? I obviously can't test the code, but I think everything
is right... I have trouble with scope, which is why I use a lot of 'r'
values instead of 'this'... Just easier for me... Probably not a good
coding standard :)

Subject: [Flashcoders] Events for custom classes?
OK, I'm pretty good at Actionscript 2.0, but something I never really
understood and now need to.
Core question: How do I make an event in a custom class, and how do I
make a listener in another class listen for the event?
EventBroadcaster in the help docs seems to only show how to use it with
Adobe classes and components. Docs on listener are the same. I know how
to set up listeners for other events, like keypresses and mouse
rollovers. Easy enough. But my problem is this (see comments in code
below):
class com.boa.projects.iqrcgenerator.components.AdminData{
private var userData:Object;
public function wsUserDataByLOB(lobDbId:Number):Void{
var getUserListResult:Object = new Object();
getUserListResult =
generatorWebService.GetUserList(lobDbId);
getUserListResult.onResult = function(oUser){
//this works fine,
//I can capture this event result here,
//but how do I notify another class?
//also what about scope here?
//how to set userData as oUser result?
//can I fire an event in my AdminData
//class from here?
}
}
public function getUserData():Object{
//can't let user get this data
//until Webserive event is done.
return userData;
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] AS2 Question
Where you declare a variable will determine the scope of the variable,
that is, how long that variable stays in memory for use and from where
it can be accessed.
In your first class, the variables declared above the function can be
accessed in other parts of the class.
In your second class the myName variable is a parameter to the function,
and is only available and in memory while in the function. Once
trace("myName") is executed and the function is complete, the myName
variable is gone and can not be accessed by any other part of the class.
In your third class, you have declared the variable within the function.
Similar to your second class, the myName variable will be gone when the
function is finished executing and can not be accessed from elsewhere in
the class.
If you think other functions or parts of the class will need to know
about a variable then its best to declare it outside of the function (as
a coding standard this is usually done above the other functions and
constructor) like you have done in your first example.
Hope that helps!

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS2 Question
Hi list i am new to AS2 and in writing classes and there is a question
that
i would like to do:
assume i have the following class
Class myClass {
var myName:String;
var myAge:Number:
var myJob:String;
function setName(name) {
name = myName;
}
}
here i declared the myName variable at the beginning
in this class than:
Class myClass {
function setName(myName:String) {
trace("myName");
}
}
and in this other class:
Class myClass {
function setName(name) {
var myName:String;
name = myName;
}
}
now the question is (even if it maight seen silly but i don't get the
concept yet), what is the difference between declaring the variables
before
methods (after the class declaration) and declaring them inside the
method
itself, or even in the method parameters???
Thanks in advance

Apologies to the moderators for this OT reply to set the records straight. So you guys think you're using Flash 9?? I think Adobe is doing a great job with showcasing upcoming technologies and ideas on Adobe labs. I applaud the effort they put into keeping developers in the loop, and listening to our feedback. On our part, we should not get confused, when we catch a glimpse of things (or parts of things) early in the development cycle. Nor is it appropriate to be overly critical.

Re: [Flashcoders] Coding Standards: Use of Get/Set
The biggest complaint that I have seen is the issue of speed. If you do
"var foo: String = obj.theLetterA" you expect that to be a hash
lookup/dereference/something fast. If you do "var foo: String =
obj.getSomething()" and you are thinking about speed, you go and look at
what getSomething() is doing. This makes sense to me, while the other
arguments I've heard against get/set make no sense to me.
For the record though I've never used get/set functions because I don't
see the point in making the syntax stranger compared to the other
languages I've used which either don't have or didn't provide me a good
reason to use get/set. Can someone tell me any benefit at all?

[Flashcoders] Coding Standards: Use of Get/Set
I was wondering what people's thoughts were on the use of "get" and
"set" functions. I personally have felt that creating functions such
as:
public function get theLetterA(){
return "a";
}
so the user can simply call someObject.theLetterA are confusing because
the user doesn't know if they are doing a function call or accessing a
public variable. I prefer writing functions such as:
public function getTheLetterA(){
return "a";
}
So the user needs to explicitly call the function
someObject.getTheLetterA().
Are there advantages to using "get" and "set" that I'm not seeing?
I ask because I was always use getVariable() functions and started
reading ActionScript 3 with Design Patterns and the authors (as well as
many others I've read) are using "get" and "set" functions.

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!

I have found the solution, and wanted to put this in the archives for
anyone else. Here is the code that was causing the crash:
private function onClose(): Void {
...
this.connect();
}
In the Flash 8 plugin, this would gladly do what I wanted it to:
immediately try to reconnect. Note that this wasn't causing an infinite
loop, as this.connect() was smarter than that and would back off.
In Flash 9 (and according to one report, Flash 7 sometimes, but not
always) this would cause a crash. This is the fix:
private function onClose(): Void {
...
var p = this;
var q;
q = setInterval(function() { p.connect(); clearInterval(q); }, 10);
}
Apparently a slight delay (or getting out of this thread) and it works
in all versions of the plugin.

Count me among the list, I am color-blind. My preferred method would be something actually not Flash (sorry). I would like there to be standard class names for various parts of code and let the end-user override the stylesheet with user stylesheets.

[Flashcoders] Flash 9, XMLSocket.onClose
I am currently building a large-scale Flash application. I had been testing with the v8.something plugin. During beta customers were complaining about crashes and I've finally tracked it down. I'm connecting to a custom message bus using an XMLSocket. When the remote end closes the connection (when we have to restart the message bus, as it's also beta quality) the Flash 8 plugin calls my onClose handler. The flash 9 plugin however brings down the entire browser. Backtraces have a call to EnforceLocalSecurity in common. Has anyone seen this? Does anyone have a workaround or further question to help me track this down? I haven't seen anything in the results of a google query and I have confirmed this behavior in the latest Flash plugin (at least for the Mac). Thanks in advance, I'm a new subscriber but these archives have come in handy several times when they came up in google queries.
