[Flashcoders] Exporting alpha channel video from flash
sorry if i posted this before, i asked this question a couple of days ago but never saw it come back in the digest, and it doesn't show up in the archives search. although it did seem someone else recently asked nearly the same question and nobody really knew. so let's try again. i have some animated icons in flash that need to make it into either after effects or avid. in Export Movie i can select QuickTime Video and in the Format box select "32-bit Color (alpha channel)". however, when Importing Footage into After Effects, no matter how i Interpret Footage the swf comes in opaque. so far exporting a .png sequence works, but that is clunky. yes, i know about wmode, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with this. does anybody know the trick? thanks, glenn grant ___ 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
RE: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
hi gustavo,
your first problem is that you have a gotoAndPlay loop. that means that
every time you go back to frame 1 you are re-creating your now variable, so
it is never going to have a chance to get bigger. secondly, the timer does
need to be updated & checked inside your onEnterFrame (i used a
setInterval), so that it can be compared with your later variable. try this:
stop();
var startTime:Number = getTimer()/1000;
var later:Number = 20;
var timeCheck:Number = setInterval(checkTime, 100);
function checkTime(){
var currentTime:Number = getTimer()/1000;
var elapsedTime:Number = currentTime - startTime;
if(elapsedTime >= later){
trace("llegamos");
clearInterval(timeCheck);
}
}

I don't know how could I got into but some help might be needed
this is the code: is inside the first frame of a movie clip and the 4
frame has: gotoAndPlay(1);

Re: [Flashcoders] Controlling flv
what i do for this is have my flv player inside a movie clip. make a new BitmapData. you can put in a cuePoint on the frame of the flv you want. when the movie gets to the cuePoint, pause it. have the BitmapData draw the movieclip. then fade the BitmapData to black. this also works well for on the fly transitions between 2 flvs, using 2 BitmapDatas and x-fading them. good luck, glenn grant > > On 3/12/07, Adrian MacTaggart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I'm working with Flash 8 and I've imported an flv to the stage and set > > it as a progressive download, using a preset skin to control the video. > > This has created a Flash Video component on the stage. > > > > This works fine but the clip ends abruptly before returning to the > > start. > > I'd like to pause on the last frame of the video before fading to black > > over a few seconds.

[Flashcoders] LoadVars.send vs. LoadVars.sendAndLoad
I use .sendAndLoad to load a shopping cart so it will not pop a new browser

the items are not being added to the cart. if i use .send instead of
.sendAndLoad everything works fine except for the aforementioned launching
of browser every time. i read in flash's documentation that .sendAndLoad has
a different security protocol than .send, so i have tried
System.security.allowDomain("thedomain.com"); in the first line, which
doesn't seem to be making a difference. any suggestions?

Re: [Flashcoders] Array Empowerment
I wouldn't agree that either if(this.length == 0) or iterating over object keys is sloppy practice, for standard application development. When creating a class library that needs to be bulletproof, as they are doing with these Array extensions, you should be more careful. Specifically, checking if(!this.length) is good if length may be undefined, but what about if some crazy person sets length to a string? Iterating over object/array keys is fine, throwing an error because you find an unexpected key is not (particularly in core library code, not application code). I too would like to commend you guys for sharing this code - it will certainly be quite useful in future projects. Regards, Grant Cox js wrote: As a relative newcomer to Actionscript, I have found the entirety of this thread very useful. I want to thank all of you for sharing this code, as well as providing a considerable amount of insight to those of us lurking in the shadows. I was fairly surprised to see that if(this.length == 0) is considered sloppy opposed to (!this.length); conjointly, I had no idea that iterating through an array in the way you described was bad practice either. I'm sure I've done it quite a few times myself, unaware of the consequences. It would be very beneficial for those of us who are not up to such (relatively) meticulous levels of coding practice if there was some sort of resource which enumerated a list of best coding practices when optimizing for speed--something along the lines of the similarly titled article in the flash documentation but aimed at the "middle-class" coder. I don't think I would be the only individual to appreciate such a resource; if anyone knows of something similar, do share! Joseph Steven Sacks | BLITZ wrote: DataProvider is not secretly decorating things, BUT something somewhere in the V2 stuff is iterating over the array object itself, and is silently blowing up when it finds these extra functions. I've had a similar problem when some third party code was adding a function to object.prototype, and the WebService object took a dump (it iterates over a hash object and sees something weird and throws an error). This is an example of poor coding by MM's component writers. You shouldn't be iterating through enumerable arrays using for (var a in this) because you're going to pick up all the methods of the Array object, as well. It's just sloppy coding due to how loose Flash is with its typing. I always try to write as careful code as possible to avoid the oh so enticing opportunities flash provides for sloppy coding. Things like if (!this.length) versus if (this.length == 0)... However, using ASSetPropFlags is the best solution to hide functions so they don't appear when you iterate through an Array object. ___ 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 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 http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

myAccountMenu.setEnabled(false);

be grey and inactive.

Re: [Flashcoders] Fwd: Loading Text files into swfs then loading swfs into other swfs...
Perhaps it's the Flash security settings then. I personally find flash
security to be a grey area, but things to check would be:
- That you have a crossdomain.xml file on your server, allowing flash
files to load data from that domain
- That your local flash security settings (from
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html#117502
) have "Always Allow" ticked, and you add "c:\" to your "trusted locations".
Hope that helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] Where to politely and appropriately discuss pricing issues
Yeah, I totally agree with Claus about pricing. There are just too many bad clients out there, where at the end of the day the associated stress and pain of completing a project with them means you end up with a net loss. Offering cheap prices (below market rate), or any kind of incentive to get their business (how many times have you heard "Do us a good price on this one, and there will be heaps more work later!"), is just like holding up a red flag to the bad-client-bull. Generally our process is to have an initial meeting with the prospective client to find out exactly what the project will entail, what the deadlines are, and how prepared they actually are. If possible (ie you are confident in your quoting skills) we usually give a rough cost estimate (ie roughly how many thousand $), otherwise do this a day or so later. If any of the first attributes (project scope, deadlines, preparation) are looking flakey, then this cost estimate will be substantially higher than what it should actually cost to develop. Remember, what looks bad at the first meeting will be at least 10x worse by the end of the project. If they baulk at this cost estimate, good - you've just saved yourself a world of pain :) And wasting a few hours on a meeting and a cost estimate to find your client is an unorganised cheap-skate is better than finding that after signing any kind of contract. Of course, this can only work if the client actually wants YOU to work on their project - you aren't just another name in the yellow pages. All I can say about that is that it's 80% marketing (not advertising), and 20% portfolio. I also agree with Claus about making yourself indispensible. While doing so may stop them from going elsewhere (or make it difficult), it also makes it very difficult for you to move on if you so decide. I have found a number of clients who initially looked like they would be keepers, but after a few months it turns out to be a lot of overhead to do the same old boring, low paid work. Do you really want to lock yourself into this, and not be able to recommend another freelancer? Regards, Grant Cox Claus Wahlers wrote: That's interesting.. i usually do the exact opposite (of course, this is me, and probably doesn't apply to everyone and everything). I usually offer new clients my regular rate and offer discounts when i feel that my relationship to the client is good and of a potentially long term nature. Most of the time, the client continues to pay me my regular rate for follow up projects though. Also, apart from trying to do a good job and making the client happy of course, i never ever do anything to make myself indispensible. To the contrary actually. For a long term, good client relationship imho it's absolutely necessary to give the client assurance that if for whatever reason i might not be available to continue working on a project (e.g. i get ill), he can continue without much hassle with another similarly skilled developer. cheers, Claus. ___ 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 http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Timeline coding
For your first question - you will not be able to access clip_mc unless
the playhead is on a frame where that movieclip exists. You should be
able to access the mc and all child mcs immediately after going to the
correct frame, however you will not be able to execute any script
defined inside the movieclip until a frame has passed.
With your second question, the scoping is not necessarily what you would
expect. The scoping of the function is wherever you define it, for
example having
blah = 1;
clip_mc.btn1_btn = 2;
clip_mc.btn1_btn.onRelease = function(){
trace( this );
trace( blah );
}
will trace
_level0.clip_mc.btn1_btn
1
when you click. Of course, you don't have to worry about the scope of
_root.variableName, as you are providing the absolute path to the variable.

Grant Cox.

Hello all, I know this is really basic, but I wanted to know something

should place it in a central location, so I set my code in the timeline

sometimes buttons do not react unless the onRelease event handler is in the
same frame as where the movie stops. Is this correct? Do actions have to be
in same frame as where the movie stops and you want the interactivity?
Though I wanted to get the answer to this general question, what I have
specifically is a movieclip with buttons inside of it. I have tried putting
the code for these buttons in the first frame of the main timeline or in the
last frame of the main timeline, where this movieclip is instantiated. But
neither method works.
I use something like this: clip_mc.btn1_btn.onRelease =
function(){getURL(etcetcetc.);};
Where should one place this code? Are actions present in the first frame
of the main timeline applicable to all subsequent frames, unless
overwritten? In case you wish to know, the buttons and movieclips do have
instance names.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] flash file to recognize SESSION or REQUEST variables?
To get data into your swf, you will want to use the FlashVars embed tag. This can be done very easily with FlashObject ( http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/ ), in fact it appears that FlashObject will automatically pass your request parameters (the attributes on the end of the URL) into your flash movie. Now, I don't quite follow what your client means in their first URL, where they have some PHP code. If that is meant to be PHP, then that's fine, and FlashObject will ensure that your SWF has variables p, m, dcwid and udfo2 available on the root timeline. If he's just saying you need extra URL parameters passed to the server, well, that's nothing to do with flash. Regards, Grant Cox Sunnrunner wrote: A client asked me this question.

Re: [Flashcoders] allowing slow animation
Oops, looks like I forgot to ensure the font outlines were included in my dynamic text field :) I tested as both a plain textfield, and inside a MC.

Re: [Flashcoders] If not Zinc, then what?
Well, I was probably being too harsh with "major bugs", as I can't remember exactly what they were now (it was about 6 months ago I used it). I believe we had the same issue with building - having to reload SW first, but often when reloading it would fail because the process was still running in the background. Also, we had some issues with system dialog boxes, that they displayed multiple times. Anyway, I was somewhat naive as to what to expect of Projector applications, and as SW was quite new to Open Source, had a very small developer and user base, we thought it best to go to a third party.

Re: [Flashcoders] If not Zinc, then what?
We just did our first application with a projector app like this. Thankfully the target was only for Windows 2000 and XP, but it needed to support nice transparency with non-rectangular windows. First I gave Screenweaver OS a go, but it has some major bugs, and almost no development (well, not on the version 3, apparently they are working hard on the beta version 4). After a couple of days we decided that we needed an application that could provide support. We looked at them all, and decided on Zinc, as it seemed to have the most active forums and developers (ie they respond to bug reports quickly), it was cross platform (thinking about future projects), and had a lot of features. Unfortunately we found that CPU usage was extreme - with an application approximately 800x600 it would use 65% of a 3.0GHz cpu just sitting there, and 100% cpu when there was any animation inside the window. This is due to the transparency - it was much better with a regular rectangular window. As our client found this unacceptable we moved to mProjector (at their recommendation). We found mProjector to make the smallest file size, and have the best CPU usage. Unfortunately their support is much slower - the forums are much less busy and the devs will take some days to respond to emails. They were in the process of releasing their new version at this time, so this may explain it (they are a much smaller operation than Zinc). Unfortunately we found there was a bug that would cause the application to crash sporadically (when loading external movies/data), and some two months after reporting this as a bug it was still on their "todo" list. Also transparency was fine in the Flash 7 build, but in Flash 8 was very patchy (I believe this has been fixed since). So, we had to move to Northcode SWF Studio. This was our last option, as we couldn't find any other Projector applications that had synchronous commands (and switching to asynchronous would be far too much work this late in the project). Northcode has fairly quiet forums, but their devs replied to every post at least once a day, and responded to emails within a day (with the timezone difference from Aus to Canada I thought that was pretty good). The downside is that their transparency support was fairly poor - the only reliable method for non-rectangular windows was to have 1bit transparency. They did provide me with a pre-release version with better transparency (which I believe has been released now), however this did have pretty much the same CPU issue as Zinc. So, overall: - Northcode (which we ended up going with) had the best support and least bugs. But did make the largest filesize. - Zinc has the most features, and the CPU issue appeared to just be Flash 8 - all three had ver poor CPU usage when using nice transparency in Flash 8. Medium filesize - mProjector had the smallest filesize, and with Flash 7 had the best CPU performance. The app/libraries had the least features (ie no cross platform, no screensavers, no support for standard rectangular windows). And at the end of it all, I have vowed to avoid working on any Projector applications like this again. They all seem like patchy solutions, and I guess that's why Macromedia never added more than basic fscommands to the standard Flash projectors.

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple date comparison bug?
Well, it depends how the comparisons work. When you check equivalence "==" it is checking whether the two Date instances are the same object, which of course they aren't. When you check greater than or less than, it can only check their value, and that is the same. So it comes down to how the Date class handles comparisons. I'm honestly not sure how you overwrite these in Actionscript (I guess there must be something in Object that you can overwrite). But checking equivalence with complex variables will always be checking if they are actually references to the same object, not if the two objects have the same attributes.

Re: [Flashcoders] DataGrid Component Performance
What do you mean by "expand rows"? But I think the answer is no - all grid rows need to be the same height (this height is adjustable, but applies to all rows). The datagrid component can handle many thousand rows, but becomes very unresponsive with a number of columns. In an application which does display a lot of data we limit the grids to a maximum of 15 columns, and this can display 20,000 rows ok. However, whenever the grid needs to do a full redraw (ie sorting a column, resizing a column) it can pause for a couple of seconds. Also, intensive CellRenderers should be avoided, as should any kind of manual row highlighting (ie alternate row colours).

Re: [Flashcoders] Encrypting data
This is true. However, if someone is prepared to submit fake post requests to hack your high scores, are they not going to decompile your SWF to see how you encrypt the high scores? My recommendation is to submit the level reached and the score, and have the server validate these (ie that the score achieved was possible for the level reached). Also, make the client inform the server every time a new level is reached, and validate that these are not occuring too fast (ie at least 20 seconds apart). And encrypt any important data sent to/from the server, but use some stupid algorithm you made up, do it inline (don't use a encrypt/decrypt function), and then obfuscate your actionscript. Oh, and if any of these server side checks fail, just ignore any high scores from that IP address. Or, just admit that faking high scores is nigh impossible when the client is so easily modified, and don't worry about it :) Regards, Grant Cox Dave Mennenoh wrote: MD5 isn't going to help encrypting a high score is it?

[Flashcoders] UnRegistering a class/symbol binding
Hi guys,
I have a project that is raising some challenges due to the data having
to be embedded into the swf rather than read externally. I need to show
a dumb example to describe the problem, I would much rather solve it
some other way but I'm bound by some client requirements at this time.
Imagine I have a symbol names ApplicationFormSymbol and its bound to a
ApplicationForm class using
Object.registerClass("ApplicationFormSymbol', ApplicationForm);
Whenever an ApplicationFormSymbol is dropped or attached with code onto
the stage it will be instanitated as an ApplicationForm class.
So the applicationForm has a method to set a text field
public function onLoad()
{
myTextField.text = "Hello";
}
I publish this swf as page1.swf
Now lets suppose I do the same thing again, but this time the method is
public function onLoad()
{
myTextField.text = "GoodBye";
}
I publish this swf as page2.swf
So both swfs are almost the same other than they both have a copy of the
Application form class, but 1 has the "hello" and the other has the
"goodbye"
Now here is the fun part.
I now write a "loader" movie that does this
this.attachMovie("ID_BLANK", "page1", 13);
this.createEmptyClip("ID_BLANK", page2, 14);
loadMovie("page1.swf", this.page1);
loadMovie("page2.swf", this.page2);
What happens now? Well both movie display "Hello" in their text fields
as he flash VM has loaded the first copy of the ApplicationForm class
from the page1.swf file and the 2nd swf when loaded does not get its
internal ApplicatonForm class it get the one that is already registered
to the ApplicationForm symbol.
I tried removeclip, unloadclip, throwclipoutofthewindow. And once the
class is bound a symbol, any other symbol will always get the original
class.
Is there some sneaky back door around this, such as wiping out the class
reference like _global.ApplicationForm = null or
_global._package.ApplicationForm = null
???
This would be hell if someone wrote a portfolio swf viewer, where your
porfolio loads your swf files demo's you have created if any of those
swf use the same symbol/class names as any other.
I've found the classloader does not do this when a class is not bound to
a symbol, if its not bound to a symbol it will let you replace a class
in a loaded swf.
Grant.

[Flashcoders] How does remoting access class members ?
I'm trying to remember how remoting accesses class members when
translating and object for serialization over AMF
I know it can access the private variables of a class, but will it use
get/set methods if they are present, for example :
class com.somecompany.domain
{
private var eventId:Number;
private var title:String;
public function get EventId():Number
{
return eventId;
}
public function set EventId(eventId:Number):Void
{
this.eventId = eventId;
}
public function get Title():String
{
return this.title;
}
public function set Title(title:String):Void
{
this.title = title;
}
}
Will the remoting library in flash use the get / set methods here if
I've defined Title and EventId on the remote object or will it bypass
those methods and attempt to use the private variables eventId and title
?
Cheers
Grant

RE: [Flashcoders] Z sorting multiple overlapping movie clips
Problem with that is if the item you click on is under other items and
it swaps depths with the top item, the top item then appears under
things it wasn't. I did it this way first and it looked very weird.
I ended up just writing a depth sorter, each of the objects that are
added to the screen dispatch a registration event and the depth sorter
adds them to a list and stores a sorted depths list, when an item wants
to be on top I figure out where it is in the Z order and then swap it
with the item above it and then the next, and next and next until I get
to the top, that way the Z order is preserved just like in a windowing
system.
Cheers,
Grant

It might be a lot simpler to just do something like:
// Untested.
// Assuming clips are given depths based on ID var highest_depth:Number
= clips_array.length;
// click handler
function click_handler(e:Object):Void {
if (e.target.getDepth() != (highest_depth)) {
e.target.swapDepths(++highest_depth);
}
}

This should be fine for IIRC 2 billion+ clicks, with some caveats for
depths greater than 1M..

[Flashcoders] Z sorting multiple overlapping movie clips
Does anyone have a an algorithm for Z sorting multiple overlapping clips... I have an array of clips and when one is clicked I want it to come to the top, but I want the other overlapping items to also shift appropriately... So Item [1] at depth 10 Item [2] at depth 9 Item [3] at depth 8 Item [4] at depth 7 If you click item [4], it would go to depth 10, and the other would shift down 1 Item [4] depth 10 Item [1] depth 9 Item [2] depth 8 Item [3] depth 7 But if any of those items are overlaping other items, they also need to be Z sorted. I'd rather not re-invent the wheel.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Installing Custom Ant Tasks in Eclipse
I messed around with a few preprocessors a week or so ago, and just had
so many problems (due to ignorance - I'm a noob when it comes to
java/ant etc). However, finally I got FMPP to work (
http://fmpp.sourceforge.net/ ), and while the preprocessing directives
aren't the prettiest (they look like html tags), once I got it working I
was beyond caring about that :)
This is the appropriate part from my build.xml:
classpath="${dependencies_dir}/fmpp/lib/fmpp.jar" />
modes="ignore(server/**/*, lib/**/*, dependencies/**/*),
execute(**/*.as), copy(**/*.swf), ignore(**/*)"
quiet="false" >
antProperties(svn_version)
debug: true
Actually, so that "modes" line makes sense, my folder structure is:
/build
/deploy
/src
/com
/dependencies
/lib
/server
And I only want it to preprocess .as files from the /src and /src/com
(not dependencies, lib or server), copy any .swf files (in case MTASC
needs them as base files) and ignores the rest.
Regards,
Grant Cox

Re: [Flashcoders] how to make single cell in the grid non editable?
The only way I've done it is by making the entire datagrid non-editable, and listening for a double click on a single cell. When this happens, if that cell can edited that column is set to editable, and the appropriate cell is selected. On a mouse deselect (onBlur?) the column is set back to non-editable. Generally I've found that double clicking to edit a field works quite well, as I never liked that just selecting a row would start to edit the actual cell clicked.

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Design patterns
Wouldn't it be great to have a project like that - that actually stays on track and doesn't have last minute changes :) It is never necessary to use design patterns, but they can make your project more structured. More structured usually means easier to understand, and easier to modify (as it is more obvious what else will be affected by any change). I would suggest spending time on less critical projects to explore using some design patterns, to see how you feel about them, and if you find they are useful then keep using them. When I first started using design patterns (when FAMES kicked off) I thought it was important to use "pure" patterns, and got quite stressed trying to understand wtf all the patterns actually are and why I should be using them. Now that I have made a few projects (~6) in this fashion I am much more laid back - I use the patterns that I understand, bastardise others to something I like, and ignore the rest. We're not making works of art here - as long as the project is done to time and budget and isn't a complete dog's breakfast then it's fine :) Regards, Grant Cox Anggie Bratadinata wrote: If I don't plan to extend my app. nor there is late requirements to meet then using DP is not necessary?

Re: [Flashcoders] redraw/update DataGrid to reflect change of data?
If all you want is for the datagrid to refresh from the data already in it's dataProvider (ie, each grid row updates to what you want when you rollover), then try: var current_vpos = myGrid.vPosition; myGrid.dataProvider = myGrid.dataProvider; myGrid.vPosition = current_vpos; Regards, Grant Cox Chuck Hoffman wrote: I'd like to get a DataGrid (or better yet, one of its columns) to redraw itself, so as to reflect a change made to item(s) in its dataProvider. Specifically, I have a field called 'select', and for its column in the DataGrid I use a CellRenderer containing a CheckBox, which responds to clicks to the CheckBox by setting the select field of the given item appropriately. However, I'd also like to add a "select all" checkbox. I have no problem responding to clicks on the CheckBox with a quick looping-through of the dataProvider setting the select fields on each item to true or false, as the case may be.

Re: [Flashcoders] Issue with two instances on a timeline
I agree, this is perhaps the most irritating thing about animating inside the Flash timeline. Unfortunately I believe it is just a limitation of Flash, and the only way to get around it is to avoid keyframes on objects you need to use code with. So, either avoid all keyframes and do animation with code, or just avoid keyframes on the specific objects you want to modify with code. In your example for changing text or colour, the object you are changing (textfield or movieclip) needs to be inside another movieclip. Now you can apply code to the inner movieclip and timeline effects to the outer movieclip (or vice versa), and it should work ok. But unfortunately it is still a pain. But then, that's animating in Flash for you :) Regards, Grant Cox Meinte van't Kruis wrote: Hi folks, I've had this problem for a long time and it keeps on coming back once in a while, and allthough I've allways found ways to work around it, I never got to a real solution, so perhaps some of you know the answer.

Re: [Flashcoders] Strange actionscript vs tweening problem Flash8
I'm not sure what is happening in your case, but previously I have found
similar issues (with code / timeline based effects conflicting) when:
- The symbol (movieclip/button) does not have the same instance name
across all keyframes (ie doesn't have an instance name on a keyframe).
- When the code changes any attribute of a tweened symbol. If you have
code that changes a clip's position, the tween becomes invalid until the
next keyframe (which then overwrites whatever code change you made). I
assume this applies to all other clip attributes (not just position), as
a key is on a whole layer...

Grant Cox

all the buttons that go to an other location themselfs. But when I click on
a button, that button stays on it's place until the tween is done and then
finally flips to the position it supposed to tween to.

the button clicked stays on the same place until the tween stops and
then flips to the location it supposed to tween to.
How are you tweening this? You might want to show us some code.

[Flashcoders] embeded CSS issue
I'm using an embedded CSS file where I define the styles through code
var boldlite:Object = new Object();
boldlite.color = "#ff00";
boldlite.fontWeight = "bold";
testSheet.setStyle("boldlite", boldlite);
and then I assign it to an html text field.
testText.styleSheet = testSheet;
testText.embedFonts=true;
testText.wordWrap=true;
testText.font = "Futura Medium";
testText.htmlText="using class*this should be bold and red*
";
No matter what I do I can't get it to render any color or weight changes.
I have uploaded the fla if anyone has a chance to look, its just a TEST right

[Flashcoders] Actionscript preprocessor
I am currently using Eclipse, MTASC and ANT for my development (on Windows), and this is working well. However, while I currently have "release" and "debug" ANT targets, these really only change a couple of MTASC compile options (ie tracing). I have decided that a better solution is needed, to allow a "release" build to exclude NetDebug, to automatically change some config options, and also to integrate build numbers. So, preprocessing. After some searching, I found cpp ( http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/ ), filepp ( http://www.cabaret.demon.co.uk/filepp/ ), and jappo ( http://jappo.opensourcefinland.org/ ). However. cpp - linux application, the only Windows version I can see is via cygwin. And installing this on every development machine, for a single utility seems overkill. Plus, cpp seems to have the least features, and the filepp docs suggest it may leave strange comments in output files. filepp - Perl module, which should be fine (all development machines have ActivePerl installed). Except the download contains source files, and a bash script to create the application. So, again I'm kind of stuck being on Windows. jappo - Java .jar, with ANT integration. Sounds perfect. Except that after I work out how to reference the jar correctly in EclipseAnt and it runs, it gives errors about missing classes (ie "org/apache/xpath/XPathAPI" ). I downloaded the XPath addon for Eclipse, but this didn't help. I can't run any of the jappo samples either, as I don't have the Java SDK (currently downloading). Has anyone successfully used a preprocessor for Actionscript on Windows, and do you have any suggestions?

Re: [Flashcoders] plz suggest.....urgent
Well, not really - it's part of a larger application, and I have certain business obligations not to just give it all away. However, if you are stuck with something specific then I don't mind helping out (although it is almost 7pm here - I will be heading home soon). Basically what we did was had a controller to manage the list of Fields (our data type for a grid column). The popup window had a datagrid that displayed all of the Field objects from the controller, displaying only the "title" and "visible" attributes. We had a Checkbox CellRenderer used for the "visible" column, so ticking / unticking would change this attribute. Once the popup window is hidden, then the main datagrid columns are recreated, by looping through all the Field objects from the controller, and creating a DataGridColumn for each Field whose "visible" is set to true. Macromedia have some sample CellRenderers, one of which is for a checkbox.

Re: [Flashcoders] plz suggest.....urgent
Well, there are two methods. To do what you are trying below, you will want one movieclip in the library with instance name "checkbox_scrollpane_content", and this movieclip will then have code to attachMovie as many checkboxes as needed. This way your scrollpane always has the same contentPath, but this content knows to update as needed. However, I have done a similar thing before (controls to show/hide grid columns), and the way I did it was the popup window displayed a single Datagrid component with two columns, one column containing the titles, the other containing a checkbox CellRenderer. I find it much easier to deal with content in a Datagrid than in a ScrollPane (where the content abstraction can be a pain).

Re: [Flashcoders] plz suggest.....urgent
Please explain what you mean by "checkboxes in a scrollbar". Do you mean a list component (scrollable), where each row contains a checkbox? If so, you want to use a CellRenderer. Or do you mean just two checkboxes, in a bounding area that can have scrollbars? If so, you probably want a ScrollPane, with the content being a movieclip containing the checkboxes.

Re: [Flashcoders] How do you code your Flash applications?
Just to throw my 2c in, I personally only use getNextHighestDepth(), and as yet haven't had any problems with it. The majority of our screens are already placed in the Flash timeline, I use attachMovie almost only to populate scrollpanes, and loadMovie only into graphic components. To keep our code separated from the design, we will use placeholders / components in the Flash file to define where external elements are loaded. This lets the designers fiddle with what they like, without having to bother me :) Regards, Grant Cox Nathan Derksen wrote: Nonsense, this is a great debate IMHO, and I would love to hear more from others as well. This is something that everyone has to deal with, and I genuinely thought that others would make more use of getNextHighestDepth() and was surprised that you and others avoid it. What are the situations that you have come across where only manual depth management would work? Do you have other ways of managing depth?

Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing Dynamically Created MC's
This is just because "group_mc.node_mc" is not a property of "this",
only the "group_mc" bit is. What you would need to do is
this["group_mc"]["node_mc"] , however you want to store those in your array.
Or, you can use eval, as
testValue = eval(targetArray[0]).id;
should do what you want, and it is not deprecated in AS2.

Re: [Flashcoders] select columns-datagrid
How is your edit button embedded in the column, are you using a Cell
Renderer? When I have done something similar using a CellRenderer I
made the CellRenderer dispatch an event (actually from the Datagrid),
which contained the cell's row and column. This way in my class
containing the Datagrid, I could just listen for my event just like any
other (like "cellEdit", "headerRelease" etc).
Below is the appropriate line from my CellRenderer. I believe the
template for this CellRenderer was just from the Macromedia multiline
textfield sample.
listOwner.dispatchEvent({type:"myCustomEvent",
itemIndex: getCellIndex().itemIndex,
columnIndex: getCellIndex().columnIndex,
newValue: somethingGoesHere});

Re: [Flashcoders] mx.utils.ClassFinder.findClass problem
If the classes are present in the main movie that is "injected" with the
classes compiled by flash, any symbols in loaded movies that have a symbol name
that matches a class that uses object.register gets the behavior attached when
its loaded, I actually found this by accident and its worked out very well.
I don't use shared libraries, I have an lib folder that all my project can
access, even in a team of several flash developers we have found having the
code available in a src folder works better for us than a swf.

Re: [Flashcoders] mx.utils.ClassFinder.findClass problem
I do something similar in my arp extensions to force "command" classes defined
in an xml document to be loaded at runtime. I use the -pack feature of mtasc
that forces classes from a package into your swf.
so if you wanted force all the classes in com.bluetube.command into your swf
you would pass
-pack com\bluetube\command to mtasc.
I hate having to put a dummy constructor or fluff in the code to make it work,
I prefer the mtasc approach.
Grant.

Re: [Flashcoders] How do you code your Flash applications?
I build assets in flash and give them symbol names that match my class names. for example loginForm = com.bluetube.view.LginForm I code in eclipse and bind classes to symbols using Object.registerClass, I compile with mtasc and use ANT to build. I always have an ApplicationForm class that kicks off the whole show (natural entry point) and its the swf that gets the code injected into it via MTASC. I load external swfs with symbols that have names that match their classes but they have no code IN the swf. I use the ARP framework on pretty much everything. (I code, I have a designer who does the animation) I use Fuse for code based tweens. I use alcon for logging via a custom logger and the -trace feature of mtasc I use xray to debug I'm busy as hell since i learned all this stuff (normall a JAVA J2EE coder) :) (thanks flash and the open source community!)

Re: [Flashcoders] How do you code your Flash applications?
I personally use Eclipse / MTASC, so all code is class based. In my Flash file all symbols that need functionality have a linkage id, and almost all of my symbols are only a single frame (unless shape tweening is needed). To make the Flash compile faster, none of these symbols are linked to Classes in the Library, this is all done in the external code using Object.registerClass. I find it a lot cleaner to have all of my code in a nice external structure, in a decent IDE. My code is all right where I need it, I can control all animation simply (using an animation / tweening library like Fuse), and I can let the designers do almost whatever they like to the Flash file without worrying about them stuffing code up. And, of course, I get decent version control on the source files. After using this for a few months, I just wouldn't code inside the Flash IDE any more. Movieclip spaghetti is a bitter dish. Regards, Grant Cox Anggie Bratadinata wrote: Hi expert coders, Just a simple question, How do you develop your Flash applications? How do you write clean, readable, and reusable codes? The reason I'm asking this is because, so often, I got lost in MovieClips spaghetti. Different depth/levels/timelines drive me nuts and in the end, after reviewing my codes, I can't help re-writing everything from scratch in order to make it much cleaner. So, on the same project, I always work twice. :( What I do so far is write-then-test every single function in my codes;if it works then I'll write another function. And I tend to write everything in a single frame. I'd be more than happy if you, experts, can tell me the right way to code/develop Flash applications.

Re: [Flashcoders] Fire Event Manually
sorr its a late, but cheat...
var foo:Object = myCheckBox;
foo.dispatchEvent( {type:"cick", target:myCheckBox});
if you use an object reference the compiler doesn't enforce class modifiers so
you can basically bypass protected.

Re: [Flashcoders] NetConnection Debugger not working in Flash 8? - SOLVED
I have found the solution to this problem. If I replace the
mx.remoting.debug.* classes from the Flash 8 remoting with those from
Flash MX2004, then the Netconnection Debugger works from Flash 8.
Doing a diff shows that the new Flash 8 classes only include definition
of the available debug functions, whereas the MX2004 classes included
the actual implementation. I am not sure why so few people appear to be
affected by this, and since you can't download the MX2004 trial any more
it may be a problem for anyone who doesn't already have it installed...
If anyone does need these files and cannot source them elsewhere feel
free to email me.
Regards,
Grant Cox

[Flashcoders] NetConnection Debugger not working in Flash 8?
I have just upgraded my workflow to Flash 8 and the latest MTASC today,
and found that while my Remoting calls were working, nothing was
printing in the NetConnection Debugger. After some debugging I have
found that I cannot get anything to print to the NetConnection Debugger
even from within the Flash 8 IDE, and this is with a clean reinstall of
Flash 8 (no previous version of Flash installed) and the Remoting
components. I have set the Flash 8 security settings to "Always Allow",
and to trust anything in "C:\".
The follow code, when applied to the first frame of an empty movie with
just the RemotingConnector Component on the stage, works in Flash 7, but
does not work in Flash 8. The log messages work fine (and the remoting
connection is created and works), but nothing appears in the
NetConnection Debugger.
Can anyone see a problem with this, or even replicate the error?
Regards,
Grant Cox

Re: [Flashcoders] Public examples of Business RIAs
Thanks clark. I have a non public RIA that used ARP and is pretty big (3000 hours total) I did the flash and java with 2 other developers over six months.

[Flashcoders] JSFL help
I've never used JSFL and found a book at borders that was supposed to teach but looks more like a dump of the API to a book. I need to create some templated swf's and would like the text fields in the swf to be populated either by a human being whois not a flash developer (e.g. enter data into a panel and it puts the data into the correct text field variables). Or to have swf's generated from a text file, say coma separated that contains the values for the text fields, is this even possible and are there any good lists out there from JSFL ? The client does needs templated flash files, there will be about 10 "standard" fla files and then we need to populate several text fields with data, the 10 stanard files would be used to produce 150 swf files with different text in the text fields and I can't do it dynmically (no web services or remoting) the swf must be self contained including its data. any JSFL gurus on the list ?

Re: SV: [Flashcoders] certificate
One issue I had with internet exploder was the first time I did an https call
instead of hitting the server I was asking it to hit, it went to the windows
update site to see if there were any updates due, I still haven't figured out
why it did this, and this was looking at the http traffic from the browser with
a proxy... I had no issues with firefox.

Re: [Flashcoders] remoting v service
I think the two technologies work well, we don't want to deal with crossdomain policy file issues so we deployed openAMF to a server and it calls the webservices, flash talks to 1 point in the system over remoting and that point then talks to all the webservices. If your business logic does not need to be exposed as a webservice then you can just have flash talk to your remoting gateway to an application component which will then call your business logic. We do a lot of services that have to be consumed by java or net and flash so we tend to create webservices, in flash with then create a "central" entry component that has the remoting gateway and it does the "logic" for the flash application and delegates busines to the business components. For .net I'd look at flashorb's new freebie... I'm using flourine right now for .net but will also evaluate the flash orb one.

Re: [Flashcoders] private/public troubles
did you type your instance of oCore on root ? if your data is not "typed" the iDE will not enforce access modifiers. e.g var core:Core = new Core() trace (core.oParam); /// should not compile var anotherCore = new Core() trace (anotherCore .oParam); /// should compile as anotherCore is not typed. because you are declaring it on root is probably not typed. Why put it on root ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Turning off flash mx UIScrollBar when nothing to
found the fix via this site :
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/hide_scrollbar.htm
had to do
scrollBar._visible = (contentTextField.maxscroll >1)
so the scroll bar is only visible of the maxscroll of the field to be scrolled
is greater than 1, simple fix, wish the damn scroll bar did that automatically
:)

[Flashcoders] Turning off flash mx UIScrollBar when nothing to scroll.
Resent as it never got to the list
I'm building this site :
file:///D:/projects/bluetube/clients/amvescap/calendar2005/dist/container.html
I'm using a textField for the content and the MM UIScrollbar for the scroll
bar.
After loading the text into the text field I tried this with the scroll bar :
contentTextField.htmlText = contentLoader.text;
scrollBar._visible = scrollBar.enabled;
TRACE("scrollbar enabled state " + scrollBar.enabled);
TRACE("scrollbar is " + scrollBar);
I did a google search and one suggested I use the enabled property to
determine if I should display the scrollbar but the scrollbar is always enabled
even when there is nothing to scroll. I want the scrollbar to be invisible
when there is nothing to scroll.
click on the December month to see one that should scroll and January to see
one where there should be no scroll (but I still get a phantom scroll bar)
Can someone help ?
Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] Xpath and HTML tags inside XML bug?
yes doing that, when I do a trace when I have a CDATA section with hello and bold tags around it (not typing it as it won't be displayed in the flashlist) I see in the text field the hello with the html tags and the same in the trace, if I set a string to hello with bold tags around it and assign it to the same text field it works... I'll create a demo file and upload soon, I had a deadline so ended up using loadvars for the html content and that worked, but I've done the CDATA section stuff for my old site and it worked then.

[Flashcoders] button width ?
I have a button that appears as a highlight behind a text field when the user rolls over the button the highlight appears. I want the highlight width to be a little bigger than the textbox so when I populate the text box I measure it and set the width of the button, however this doesn't work, when I read the buttons width its 0, and this is when the button has been loaded, if i measure the buttons width when it receives a onRelease event its a valid width. Is there some way to set the buttons width after loading, right now its giving me the bird.

Re: [Flashcoders] Xpath and HTML tags inside XML bug?
I'm having the same issue even without XPATH, I have a CDATA section in my XML and the text field renders the text and the HTML tags without rendering HTML, if I cut and paste the HTML to a string and set the text field to that it works as expected. I've done this before and it worked, difference now is I'm compiling with MTASC and using flash 8 IDE. I'm going to try a standalone fla test and compile with MM compiler and flash 7 to see what the issue is.
