[Flashcoders] Screen grabbing from AIR application

[Flashcoders] Jagged tweening images
Hi all, I know this seems like such a newbie question, but for the life of me I can't fix it. I have a simple tween of a bitmap image from one side of the stage to the other. During this transition, it slices as it moves, going very jaggedy (I realise that's not a real word, but it's the best description I can give). I have tried taking the whole tween out of the project, into it's own dedicated FLA and running it in isolation. It still does it. I have tried using a vector square instead of a complex bitmap image. It still does it. I have tries going from a Mac to a PC. It still does it. I have tries adding extra keyframes along the tween. It still does it. I have tried to up the framerate (24, 30, 60). It still does it I wanted to up the refresh rate of the screens but neither of them allow me to do that and to be frank I won't be able to do that to a client's monitor so it's not really a solution. I know I never see this kind of behavior on any other site, no matter what size of graphic they are tweening and how far. What am I doing wrong? I have a sneaking suspicion that it's something so basic that I've forgotten it long ago. ___ 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] Jagged tweening images
Thanks for the quick reply, but I should have mentioned that I ensured the scaling was 100% and all images were at pixel perfect positions. Also, the picture shear is extreme. It is clearly like a really bad refresh rate Maybe you scaled the image non-proportional, but you say it happened even with vectors. how does your image look like. are there fine linies at the edges? then you should prepare your image in a way that there is 1 or 2 pixel space to the edges of the borders. you should also ensure that your image (MovieClip) ends on exact pixel values (300 instead of 300.4) does it help?

Re: [Flashcoders] Jagged tweening images
Hi Dunc, sorry mate, I keep forgetting ALL the things I've tried in the last 24 hours, lol. I also tried that :) But basically, it seems no-one has seen this behavior out side of bad settings, I certainly haven't seen it on any other graphic tweening site examples. Sean Hi Sean, If the image is internal to your library you can try setting the smoothing option on the image itself. Right click image in library and check Allow Smoothing. This might help.

Re: [Flashcoders] flv playback speed control
There is no built in functionality for this, however, you could use the
NetStream.seek() function and call that in an Interval. By changing the
interval call time and by changing the seek location integer from an
incremented one to a decremented one, you'll be able to speed up the play
back going forwards or backwards. This is effectively the method we use to
create a Fast Forward and Rewind function for video.
Hope that helps (and that I explained it clearly). If not, then let me
know and I'll clarify with some example code
Sean
www.flashcoder.net
can flv's be slowed down and or sped up programmatically?
any thoughts, directions or brain storms would be beneficial.
thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] Intro to OOP using ActionScript
Hi Mike, you've hit on an interesting dilema. Most Flash developers are to a greater degree, self taught. This is both a blessing and a curse. The skill level, and by extension, the development methodologies put in to practice in the real world range from basic, timeline procedural, to over engineered, pattern based pedantic dogma OO. I'd recommend pragmatism. There are a number of excellent books on Actionscript and OO methodologies and actionscript and patterns. Given the nature of Flash, the need to enforce strict pattern based solutions is limited but the need to enforce good OO best practices and code is essential. I personally can't say I have ever come across a holy grail actionscript OO site, but there are many good blogs out there that cover the info you will need (there just a bit scattered). The best advise I can give you is to google what you're looking for - like the rest of us ;) lol But if you want to try blogs, then here's a couple of reliable ones: Grant Skinner - http://www.gskinner.com/blog/ Colin Moock - http://www.moock.org/ Keith Peters - http://www.bit-101.com/blog/ Aral Balkan - http://aralbalkan.com/ Guy Watson- http://www.flashguru.co.uk/ Richard Leggett - http://www.richardleggett.co.uk/blog/index.php There are many many others, but that should keep you going for a while. Incidentally, if you're interested in teaching actionscript in a games environment, you could do worse than have a look at the Nintendo Wii's flash support. It's pretty easy and well documented on line in many sites. It'd certainly make it popular and topical for the class and give you an excuse to get a Wii in. Sean www.flashcoder.net/blog Hi there - I'm a high school teacher who's decided to teach Intro to Programming using Actionscript (2.0 for now, waiting for the school to upgrade). I'd prefer to take an OO approach, and use games in doing so. For example, my first game would be a Pong copy. Lots of basics in there to learn the environment, basic principles, etc. So, I was wondering if anyone out there knew of good resources, wanted to contribute (hell, I'll give you all the credit, you can write a book, etc.), collaborate, share. I've search most of the tutorial sites, but most code is not a great OO example for Flash games due to little OO, or too much complexity for the beginner. Your input is welcome, rock on.

Re: [Flashcoders] public variable tracing inside class only..
Hi Omar,
it's not clear from your example, but does the Xm class constructor
actually call the companySearch function or define the CompanySorts
array?
Sean
www.flashcoder.net
i have the following code in my Xm class:
{other code here... where i call the function below...}
public var CompanySorts:Array = new Array();
public function companySearch(criteria:String) {
var totalCompanies:Number = CompanyA.length;
for (var i:Number = 0; itotalCompanies;i++) {
if(this.contains(this.CompanyA[i], criteria)==true) {
CompanySorts.push(CompanyA[i]);
};
};
};
in the Main Class i have:
class Main {
static function main() {
var a:Xm = new Xm(data.xml);
trace(a.CompanySorts);
};
};
if i put the trace line into the Xm class itself (companySearch function )
the output shows me the content of the array.
If i put the trace line in the Main class as above, flash develop shows me
an alert box with *node message value not found* and traces nothing..
is there something wrong??
thanks in advance

Re: Re[2]: [Flashcoders] public variable tracing inside class only..
sounds like you need to have event listeners and dispatch an event once
the onload is complete, as David was suggesting
Sean
in this case i should call the function and the trace inside the
onLoad(success) function.. but this is not convenient as in i need to
manipulate the flow from within the class instance...
private function onLoad(success) {
if(success) {
trace(xml File Successfully Loaded...);
getCoreNodes();
companySearch(Demo);
trace(CompanySorts);
}else{
trace(Cannot Load Xml File...);
}
}

What he means is, your arrays will not populate until after the XML is

loaded and parsed. So if you're trying to trace or access those arrays,
they're going to be null/empty. You'd be better served to either fire an

[Flashcoders] OT: SURVEY - Flash and Poker
yes, that's right Poker. It's not as off topic as it may initially sound. I recently spoke with an Adobe representative at Chinwag in London. They had laid on a Casino for the event and I commented that I was very surprised at there not being any Poker tables. I mean, in the 8 years I've been a Flash developer, at least 80% of the fellow developers I have met have played Poker (some to a semi-professional level). Statistically, this is a very significant number. Adobe were apparently unaware of this correlation and were interested in exploring it further. To that end I have put up a quick poll to gather some empirical data for them. I would appreciate it if as many of you as possible could visit http://www.flashcoder.net/blog/survey1.html and click on the appropriate choice. It's a simple one question survey and you will see the results as they come in. Please tell everyone you know who is involved with Flash / Flex / Actionscript. Thanks to the list in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Development on PC vs Mac
I'm a Flash developer (obviously) and I recently 'converted' to a Mac. Not because it's cool or stylish (though obviously that's a bonus), but because the technology was so much better, integrated and flexible. Having Parallels on it means I can run Windows XP inside of OSX and they both get issued their own IP addresses from the network. This means I have a client server development system in one laptop (MBP). The only down side is that they are more expensive and Apple support is a bit 'political'. That's my ten cents worth. I wouldn't go back to a PC by choice now. Sean flashcoder.net Questions for those of you who have done Flash development on both platforms: What are the pros and cons of Flash development on Mac vs PC? Which platform would you recommend?

Maybe it's a audio specification, maybe it's a number the Adobe Flash team decided arbitrarily was sufficient to represend the sound frequencied. Does any one posses this knowledge?

get the first time through. Also, the for next loop won't increment the j
variable until the loop is completed. Let me know if I have misenterpreted
your question.
flashcoder.net
Hello,
Firstly, I know that the eval(); method is old (depreciated), but I
have come to appreciate it. And I am wanting to work it in a for loop
generating and array. Here is the set up. array of strings
stringArray = new Array(string1,string2,etc);
for(j=0;jstringArrayTotal;j+=2){
trace(stringArray[j+1]); //traces element expected at j+1 value;
month = eval(months[j+1]);
trace(month); //traces undefined;
}
an answer to the above question would be obviously appreciated.
thank you,
Vdst

Re: [Flashcoders] Child Object positions
I really don't think there is. You will have to move the labels to a new parent display list. S. Hi guys, I asked this in the newbie section since im new to actionscript. They tol dme to direct it here so here goes: I have a Sprite. The Sprite has several children who are also Sprites. Think of it as a planet with lots of little moons. Now each of these moons have a Child thats a Label. These labels overlap each other in that the text, if its long, will end up behind another moon it runs into if the moon is a child thats layerd above it. I want all the labels to be brought to the front regardless of the moons layer. Is there a way to do this without disassociating the label with the moon? ___ 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] Rotate in absolute center AS3
Presumably this is a programatically created bitmap. I don't know if you can set the registration point of the movieclip or sprite within which I assume it lives programatically within AS3 programatically (sorry, haven't looked into this since AS2), however, even if you can, the principal is the same as doing it manually. Calculate the bitmap's width and height, divide them by 2 and position the x and y to be minus these figures, as the default for the registration point is x:0 and y:0 (top left hand corber). So, what ever the bitmap width and hight, you would set (this is formula, not code btw): bitmap x = bitmap x - (bitmap width / 2) bitmap y = bitmap y - (bitmap height / 2) S. Hey there, I need rotate Bitmap texture in AS3. I use object.rotate = 45 unhappyness the rotate is no absulute center. The rotate is corner high left. What is happends? How to set position pivot in center. I need the texture rotate in with the self center.

[Flashcoders] Best Practices question...
Hi all, this should be kind of a simple one. I have been creating my Private variables as simple camelCased names. private var variableName:VariableType; I have seen other people creating them as underscore camelCased names and recently I was challenged that the underscore was the correct and best practice. private var _variableName:VariableType; I'm not convinced. Does any one have any definative information or experience of this from an OO best practices perspective and an explanation of why the right answer is right?

Re: [Flashcoders] Class broadcasting Question...
Hi Eric,
first suggestion. Unless there is a really good reason not to, loose
the AsBroadcaster class. It is unreliable and has been well an truely
replaced by EventDispatcher. You can import this into your class, set
up an event dispatcher Object, add event listeners and then
dispatchEvent in the same place that you presently 'broadcastMessage',
only it'll work ;)
The basic lines of code are below, sorry, don't have more time to set out
a class for ya ;)
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
public var objBroadcaster:Object;
objBroadcaster.addEventListener(markerPressed, Delegate.create(this,
this.markerPressed));
objBroadcaster.dispatchEvent({type:eventName, param:param});
In my example the event dispatcher line (the last line of code above) is
part of a generic event dispatcher function which accepts the event type
and any parameters as part of the function call. You could hard code it.
Good luck
FlashCoder.net
This may sound daft, and perhaps not the way to go, but here is what I am
trying to do (AS2):
I have a class that I would like timeline code to instantiate and call a
method on. I would like the class to broadcast back to whomever is
listening...
simplified class:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Login extends AsBroadcaster
{
function Login()
{
};
public function foo( sValue:String ):Void
{
// stuff
broadcastMessage( attempt, bValue );
};
}
timeline code (not class-based):
var bar:Login = new Login();
bar.foo( test string );
function attempt( bValue:Boolean ):Void
{
trace( the result is + bValue );
}
===
Obviously I am missing some pieces here, any quick insights?
- Eric

Re: [Flashcoders] Class for movie - best practice question
There are a number of ways of essentially 'hacking' AS2 to behave in a more classic OO manner. Personally, as it IS a hack no matter what you do in AS2, I always keep it simple and just import a Main.as file, rather than go to unnecessarily elaborate lengths to fool myself that I'm really using a stricly typed, perfectly conventioned OO based language. But fear not, AS3 will let you create the document class you long for. In the most mature example of popular commercial OO based code, Java, the best practice is always to call the main dcument class main. If you stick with Java best practices you won't go wrong with AS. Sean McSharry Hi, just wanted to know if there is a best practice when creating a class for the mother movie (i.e. the flash-movie itself). Is this the way to go? var mother:MyFabFlashApp = new MyFabFlashApp(); ..or is there a better way? Seems kind of a stupid question, but I wanted to put it anyway in case I've missed something. ;-) I'veput my main code on the first frame of the _root timeline for too long, and want to move it into a class.

Re: [Flashcoders] is flash still alive?
It's strange that they would think that Flash is for fast computers and high bandwidth as the Flash player's ubiquety is due in no small way to the fact that it is very well optimised for speed and size to allow it to run on most machines. Of course I have no idea what you're running it on in the Philippines so maybe that's a factor w: www.flashcoder.net/blog It sucks though that in a place like the Philippines (where I am), people aren't into this technology so much yet. They almost always think that Flash is for fast computers and high bandwidth. Most likely, even if a team feels they are quite skilled, their skills are not tested or pushed to the limit.

Re: [Flashcoders] Beginners/Designers Actionscript
Hi Ian, sorry for the late reply. I've been so busy. I personally recomend NOT worrying about design patterns and such. Instead, go for a good AS2 book which will, as a matter of course lead you through the principals of good Object Oriented design and development. The principals are truly very simple but there tends to be a belief that they are attainable only by years of study and self abuse. This is entirely untrue. If you simply want to learn OO design and programming then I would recommend any of the myriad of excellent OO or Java for beginners books as these are truely excellent. If, however, you want to learn your OOD and OOP on actionscript itself (as this is obviously more relevant) then I have to recomend New Riders' Object Oriented Programming in Actionscript 2.0. I found this an invaluable reference. It's worth mentioning at this point that AS 3.0 will be more stricly typed (see your OO book for that reference) and as such more of a strict OO language. As such you'd be well advised to get a decent AS 3 book once you've got the principals of OO in AS 2 under your belt. FoE are bringing out a Foundation AS3 book which is aimed at giving designers and new developers a better handle on AS3. Good luck mate Sean McSharry www.flashcoder.net/blog Hi, Can anyone recommend a good book to teach designers who know a bit of AS1 scripting up to speed with AS2? I've been asked for a recommendation and it's been so long since I bought a book (or was scripting AS1!), I'm at a loss to pick out one from the myriad that a Google search brings up.

Subject: [Flashcoders] space in column Names of DataGrid
Hello all,
I am populating a datagrid with a dataprovider array.
I added the column Names like Phase Vol. , Figure No. etc. by doing
Dg.addColumn (Phase Vol.)
Dg.addColumn (Figure No.);
now i want to asign a data in it by doing something like this
var item_obj:Object = { Phase Vol :01, Figure No :30}; Dg .addItem
(item_obj);
But the problem here is it does not take the space in property Name.. How do
I keep my column Names value different?
Regards

If you have a lot of videos, then you will definitely want Sorenson Squeeze with the On2 codec plug in. For a connection speed of 1mb I would recommend 872 kbps bit rate for the video and for the audio 44100Hz sampling rate and 128kbps bit rate. Video size 720w 480h or less. Encode with 2pass VBR for progressive download or 2pass CBR for streaming. The quality of the source video will have the greatest impact on the quality of the output video more than codecs or bitrates. So focus on that as much as you can.

Vic, if you've ever used the XML or NetStream classes... it mimics
those types of event updates. For example...
var xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.onLoad = function () {
// gets invoked by the XML instance
}
So if you delegate the onLoad method, you get something like this:
xmlData.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, xmlDataLoad);
... which is essentially what I am trying to do with my own classes.
Another reason I like delegating events this way, is that the
compiler will catch typos in the names of the event functions, so I
am not searching around trying to figure out why a certain event is
not firing.

Hey Dan, I like the way you do it, its pretty simple. But here is,

I personally use an extremely simplified way of dealing with events.
I've used EventDispatcher before, but it feels like overkill most of
the time. I realize my method has no ability to multicast events,
but it's quick, easy to read and gets the job done.
Here's an example:
___
// WidgetManager.as
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class WidgetManager {
private var _widget1:Widget;
private var _widget2:Widget;
public function WidgetManager (timeline:MovieClip) {
_widget1 = new Widget(1, timeline.widget1_mc);
_widget1.clickEvent = Delegate.create(this, widgetClick); // add event
_widget2 = new Widget(2, timeline.widget2_mc);
_widget2.clickEvent = Delegate.create(this, widgetClick); // add event
}
private function widgetClick (eventObj:Object):Void {
trace(widget + eventObj.id + was clicked);
eventObj.target.clickEvent = null; // remove event
}
}
___
// Widget.as
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Widget {
public var clickEvent:Function; // event method
private var _id:Number;
private var _buttonMC:MovieClip;
public function Widget (id:Number, mc:MovieClip) {
_id = id;
_buttonMC = mc;
_buttonMC.onPress = Delegate.create(this, buttonPress);
}
public function buttonPress ():Void {
clickEvent({target:this, id: _id});
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Select combobox item by data value
I had a similar issue. In my project, the CB had values ranging from
1-27, and the objects on stage had corresponding identifiers. So this
solution worked:
//CODE
//-
//let's say my objects are identified as item1, item2, item3...
var cbListener:Object = new Object();
cbListener.itemRollOver = function(evt_obj:Object) {
val = (1+evt_obj.index);
//highlight or do something with [item+val];
this[item+val]._alpha = 40;
};
//add listener
myCB.addEventListener(itemRollOver, cbListener);
//END CODE
//
See if that works

[Flashcoders] MPEG-4 in FMS
As far as I'm aware, not only is there no way at present of serving out MPEG-4 format video feeds via FMS but the Flash player itself obviously won't entertain it. Interestingly, the Flash-Lite player will it seems as I understand it supports MP4 (MPEG4 basically). From my ongoing contact with the web/iptv video serving industry I have to say that it seems Macromedia, sorry, Adobe, are one of the few not going the standard MPEG-4 route. I'd really like to hear peoples thoughts on this (especially Macr...Adobe's) as I recently came across a set top box ip/tv company who wanted to make their entire front end in Flash (video and program interface) but decided against it because of the industry trend to use MPEG-4. It would seem that this hasn't stopped the likes of Moxi and other less well knowns. Your thought, suggestions and experience would be great to hear on this.

[Flashcoders] Flash FileReference and Firefox 1.0.7
I am having a problem with the FileReference class in Flash Player 8 and Firefox 1.0.7 This is my system configuration: Microsoft Windows XP IBM Websphere 4.0.7 Firefox 1.0.7 Flash Player version 8,0,22,0 On the server-side, my Java application server (Websphere) sets this cookie: [11/1/05 15:41:25:684 PST] 6f4fa5da SystemOut U Cookie: JSESSIONID=J5NBY1F4IHBZRCQXAQK5HPA:-1 In the same session, we use Flash's FileReference class to upload a file to the server. Flash Player 8 sends two HTTP POST's to the server. The cookie contained in Flash's file upload request is wrong: [11/1/05 15:42:05:325 PST] 6f4fa5da SystemOut U Cookie: JSESSIONID=SQL1B013JUL1140XYU2YONY:-1 Why is the JSESSIONID changing? The problem exists with Firefox but not in Internet Explorer. We have reproduced this bug on two different PC's. Is there a fix or workaround?
