Re: [Flashcoders] FocusManager
I finally figured it out!
When you press on an element in a component you don't call setFocus,
but pressFocus() instead! And don't forget the releaseFocus() as well.
This sets a fake focus on component and a true focus on the element so
that you're still able to interact with the element.
Man that was a tough problem with almost no information about it anywhere.
If anyone is looking for more info on the subject, see UIComponent's methods:
. setFocus()
. getFocus()
. pressFocus()
. releaseFocus()
. onSetFocus(oldFocus)
. onKillFocus(newFocus)

Re: [Flashcoders] FocusManager
Thanks for replying John,
But no, I never use _root, nor _level.
I'm calling this from a clickHandler within my component's class.
Like this (pseudocode):

tabEnabled = true;
tabChildren = false;
...
}
private function onRelease() {
getFocusManager().setFocus(this);

[Flashcoders] FocusManager
Hi list, I'm having trouble with the focusmanager. I created a Joystick component that should be able to receive focus using the tab-key (tabIndex) or by clicking it. Since it extends UIComponent, implementing the tabIndex version is easy; at init, set tabEnabled to true and tabChildren to false. Now when the user clicks the component, it should also receive focus. I've tried to call setFocus(this) or getFocusManager().setFocus(), but the result is no focus, and worse, the joystick element with which you control the component stops functioning as if the mouse is ignored. Does anyone have an example or a good source about the FocusManager? Thanks in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] which Symbol?
Hi Karim, When building components, the first three (static) variables usually define the symbolName, symbolOwner and className. If you add them to your own class, then you're done. Get the linkageID by calling Classname.symbolName; Of course you should use the same identifier that you set in your class. Bart 2006/12/4, karim beyrouti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi All...

Re: [Flashcoders] Weak bounce easing equation
You can control the quantity of the bounce to some extend by using the
last two optional arguments in Elastic. I played with them for a bit,
but couldn't tweak it to the point where it behaves as the animation
you described.
Hope it helps.. Godd luck!
-- code --
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Elastic;
var obj = mc;
var time = 0;
var prop = "_x";
var begin = obj[prop];
var end = begin + 400;
var change = end-begin;
var duration = 5;
var fps = 31;
var done = false;
var a = change * 2; // looks like some sort of multiplier on the swing
var p = (duration*fps) * 0.3; // magnetic force (lower = faster)
onEnterFrame = function() {
if (time < duration*fps) {
obj[prop] = Elastic.easeOut(time++, begin, change,
duration*fps, a, p);
} else {
time = 0;
}
}
2006/10/5, Mendelsohn, Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
You could probably tween something using the None easing method for a
long distance, giving it linear movement, then when the tween is done,
call onMotionFinished, and give it a new tween, but this time, over a
short distance, and with bounces. I don't think you can control the
amount of bounces.

Re: [Flashcoders] OS style command prompt
I've created a light version of DOS in flash a few months ago :P It works with a commandline pretty much as how you described your application. In my case the first word of the command typed in was a method, optional attributes were the arguments. It was first filtered, then sent to the class's __resolve method. There it called the function, if available, with the optional arguments. At the bottom of this page you can try it out: http://portfolio.mediamonkey.nl/Misc/Misc.html If you're interested I could send you some code. Greets, Bart 2006/8/22, Palmer, Jim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I have yet to battle with manifesting something of the sort. I really like your idea of using a variable watch. I've had much better luck capturing keys on just pure movie clips. I think you have greater control over user input if you're using a MovieClip.onKeyDown instead of capturing input on a TextField.type='input'. You could have a root movieclip that contains the onkeydown event handler as well as a textfield.type='static' that you could render every new character. cut and paste might be an issue. holding the key down might be an issue (could resolve with chained setinterval()). I'm sure there are other caveats that might be encountered with trying to simulate a textfield.type='input' but I think it might be a viable option. -- Jim Palmer !

Re: [Flashcoders] Capped MovieClip._rotation, what can be done?
Just as I thought.. Whoever thought that up should have a good
spanking! It might be sufficient for small movieclips, but it's quite
noticable with large movieclips such as a page in my application that
measures almost half of the Stage.
Makes me wonder though; how about a line being drawn at such an angle?
Will that line be capped as well? -probably not- I'm reluctant to
change my application so that each page, shadow and mask will be drawn
each frame instead of attaching once and rotate them each frame since
this will be a enormous extra strain on the CPU.
I'd like everyones creative input on this subject!
Thanks,

[Flashcoders] Capped MovieClip._rotation, what can be done?
Hi Flashcoders,
I've been busy recreating the famous PageFlip application and I've
noticed something weird. It seems that movieclips have a limitation to
their rotation. When I turn over a page in the application, there are
visible errors in the shadows and masks that make this page up. They
flicker left and right when dragging the page, due to their capped
_rotation property.
Wanna see for yourself? Paste this on your root, then create a rather
wide movieclip (name = mc) and set the fps to 99 for a visible
demonstration:
var rot = 0;
onEnterFrame = function() {
rot += 0.01;
mc._rotation = rot;
}
You'll notice that the movieclip won't rotate smoothly, but rather
tick like a clock, skipping angles.
I've already accepted that there's nothing that can be done about
this, but just to be sure I'd like to ask if anyone has had trouble
with this in their application and what you did about it, either to
mask it up or actually solve this problem.
With regards,
Bart Wttewaall

Re: [Flashcoders] Techniques to disable/enable "debug mode"
When using XRay for debugging, I usually make use of a debug-boolean, like so:
var debug:Boolean = true;
function something() {
if (debug) _global.tt("Error");
}
Sure, it costs an extra statement to be examined, even when debug is
set to false, but the usability weighs higher then that little bit of
extra performence.
2006/7/18, Marcelo de Moraes Serpa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I´ve been having some weird problems with my website and among them were
rendering problems, slowdown, data downloading stopping without any reason
(you may have seen my previous posts about this one) and so on. I struggled
to find out that all these were side-effects of the massive use of Luminic
Box Logger. While this tool is extremelly useful, it can KILL your
application if you forget all those calls through your code. What I did was
to go through each file and comment out all the logger references and
recompile the swfs that this time worked like a charm, much faster and
without glitches and unknown "bugs".
What techniques do you use to make your debugger life easier? Please share
your thoughts!
And remember to disable traces and othter loggers when deploying your app!
Cheers,

The trick seems to be to comment the problematic code, wait 10 minutes for the builder to pass through the code (saving doesn't work), then uncomment the code, and it works.. pshhh... Syntaxcollors get messed up too from time to time. 2006/7/16, Michael Bedar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: There are a few issues that are annoying.. although I am not sure if they are mac-only.. One that drives me crazy is that sometimes auto-format won't work on valid code.. I've run into this a lot when decaring vars of custom types that are in packages.. as said, the redraw in the script window can get funky too.. sometimes it gets into a state where the ends of words get chopped off. These annoyances are small however - at the end of that day I'd rather have FlexBuilder than have these issues resolved.

Re: [Flashcoders] Programmatically build a crossword puzzle board
Hi Charles, I don't know how others would take a swing at this, but this is what I would do: First, define your boundaries. You're making a crossword puzzle, so that would be a matrix with a specified width and height. Next up you'll want to add words. Grab your nearest dictionairy and pounce in those characters. It might be best to store those in a library-class of some sort. Or perhaps an external txt- or xml-file. Then comes the tricky part: write the algorithm. I guess the following steps should be implemented in the algorithm: 1. choose a word 2. set some variable to 'horizontal' or 'vertical', perhaps even 'diagonal' 3. try fit the characters in some empty place in the matrix. 4. if it fits (maybe overlapping an alrady placed word), hurray! - if not, continue until you've tried all spaces, then dump it and get another word. 5. goto 1 Now if you're not happy with the result, run the application a few hundred times. Either that or you might want to add a little more magic to the algorithm and shuffle/sort the words to spaces where the overlap other words the most. I hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck! Bart 2006/6/19, Charles Parcell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Can anyone point me to any links or give me some pointers on building a programmatically built crossword puzzle board? I don't mean just building squares, but rather taking a word list and building intersecting words. I have already build a word search game which is similar but there are some additional rules which a cross word puzzle uses and is making it a much harder task than original thought. For instance words can only be placed in two directions rather than eight, In addition, words which are placed horizontally or vertically next to one another must also make words in the apposing direction. So, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [Flashcoders] How do real developers do key handling?
The open-source Vegas framework at osflash.org makes use of a hashmap.
Since every Object extends of CoreObject, a hashcode is added to every
object. A nice solution, I think.
static private var _initHashCode:Boolean =
HashCode.initialize(CoreObject.prototype) ;
2006/6/7, Kevin Aebig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Well the code that your friend is suggesting is pretty straightforward and
you could port it over to AS2 if you wanted. Instead of a hashMap, why not
just use an associative array? I'm pretty sure that I've seen a hash class
ripping around from either Brandan Hall or Samuel Wan based off of an
associative array.
All in all, the code could be ported over with minimal effort... but there
would be some area's that you would need to be creative with.
Cheers,

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] How do real developers do key handling?
I have 10 apps that will controlled with a TV remote control (no mouse).
There are only 12 keys on the remote, so the app that has focus will will
have to do very different things with a given key press, depending on
context.
A java dev. friend suggested an approach using a hashMap, but we don't have
hashMap in AS 2.0. And I'm a bit confused by his sample code:
public class ChannelInputTest {
public static void main(String argv[]) {
// Create a new ChannelInput object and add a few keys to its map
ChannelInput ci1 = new ChannelInput();
ci1.addKey("1", new SimpleKeyHandler());
ci1.addKey("2", new AnotherSimpleKeyHandler());
// Now handle some keys with this puppy
ci1.processKey("1");
ci1.processKey("2");
// Create a SECOND ChannelInput object, and add some different
keys/handlers
ChannelInput ci2 = new ChannelInput();
ci2.addKey("3", new AnotherSimpleKeyHandler());
ci2.addKey("4", new SimpleKeyHandler());
ci2.processKey("3");
ci2.processKey("4");
// Finally - should get an error if a ChannelInput gets unmapped key
ci2.processKey("1");
}
}
import java.util.HashMap;
public class ChannelInput {
private HashMap handlerMap = null;
ChannelInput() {
handlerMap = new HashMap();
}
public void addKey(String key, KeyHandler handler) {
handlerMap.put(key, handler);
}
public void processKey(String key) {
KeyHandler handler = (KeyHandler) handlerMap.get(key);
if (handler == null) {
System.out.println("ERROR: null handler for key \"" + key + "\"");
} else {
handler.handleKey(key);
}
}
public class SimpleKeyHandler implements KeyHandler {
public void handleKey(String key) {
System.out.println("SimpleKeyHandler Key " + key + " was pressed");
// Action for this key goes here
}
}
interface KeyHandler {
public void handleKey(String key);
}

How do real actionscript developers do key handling? If you have several

to code the key handling? Right now I'm drowning in multiple key.GetCode()
switch statements that all live in my 'Main.as'. How do smart people do
this??
Any suggestions, sample code, links to tutes etc., very greatly appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting the selection
It's because the button you click will have the focus. So you should
return the focus on the textfield before you can get the Selection of
the text.
[as]
underline_btn.addEventListener("click", mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,
underline_check));
function underline_check(evt:Object):Void {
Selection.setFocus(editdesc_txt);
var startIndex:Number = Selection.getBeginIndex();
var endIndex:Number = Selection.getEndIndex();
var strToUnderline:String = editdesc_txt.text.substring(startIndex,
endIndex);
trace("String to Underline:
"+strToUnderline+"|B:"+Selection.getBeginIndex()+" |E:
"+Selection.getEndIndex()+" |C:"+Selection.getCaretIndex());
editdesc_txt.replaceText(startIndex, endIndex,
""+strToUnderline+"");
}
[/as]
2006/5/29, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Can anyone tell me why this outputs -1 for every value? Could it be because the

Re: [Flashcoders] destructors...
When using classes that extend from MovieClip, you can use onUnload(). I use it primairaly for removing EventListeners so I won't get stuck with duplicate eventcalls. When you want to delete a class all you really have to do is remove all instances and references from that class. I don't think there's an automated process for that since these may be scattered around in other classes all over your application, but building a destroy method (onUnload) in your classes by default seems to be a good way.. 2006/5/3, Andreas Rønning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Kind of besides the point really. The real point is, in my humble opinion, that it should be possible to do it without myClass.cleanup(); delete(myClass); It becomes double naughty if your class instance is in an array. It's just a question of keeping the amount of fluff down to a minimum. This is not a critical problem. I am merely asking for people's methodologies in self destroying classes. - A Ian Thomas wrote: > Hi Andreas, > To turn it on its head... > > What are you trying to achieve?

Re: [Flashcoders] Date Object Problem
I'm not sure if it'll solve your problem, but you might want to check out Date.UTC var maryBirthday_date:Date = new Date(Date.UTC(1974, 7, 12)); trace(maryBirthday_date); I'm not sure what it does (something with universal time), since the documentation is quite cryptic, but perhaps it's related..? Good luck. 2006/5/2, Nick McNeill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: First off, long-time member of this list and have gained a wealth of knowledge from the wisdom here. Thank You All. I'm having a very confusing problem using the Date Object. I have a hotel reservation system built in flash, when an international reservation (outside of the US, mainly Europe ) comes through, the dates are off by 1 day. I cannot recreate the problem using any system setup in the US, only via a friend in London doing some testing for me. Problem: create new Date using May 20th 2006 var checkin = new Date(2006,5,20); is getting converted to May 19th if you are in Europe, fine in the US. In plain terms, someone is trying to book 5/20/06 thru 5/22/2006, but gets booked 5/19/06 thru 5/21/06 instead. This system has booked literally thousands of domestic US reservations and we've never seen this until we opened it up to international customers. Any insight to why this could be happening, or any known workarounds for a problem like this would be wonderful. I haven't tried using the timezone offset yet, any ideas if that might be a cure?

[Flashcoders] Trouble with dynamic binding dataset to datagrid & cellrenderer
Hello FlashCoders, I've been trying to add Philippe Nomail's (or better known as Philiflash) cart-example (http://philflash.inway.fr/cart/cart.html) to a project of mine. But unfortunately I can't make use of databinding within the IDE. For that I used Hank Williams' DataSet to DataGrid dynamic binding example. So I tried to create the bindings dynamically, but the amount cell (which uses a NumericStepper to increment the amount of products in the cart) doesn't work properly, not even with his updated Flash 8 example. It seems as if the dataProviders of the DataGrid and DataSet are in conflict. Philippe is out of office until the 17th, so I'm trying the list. Could you please help me out? I've uploaded the code in a zipfile to the following url: http://download.mediamonkey.nl/MyCart.zip Thanks a lot in advance, Bart Wttewaall. ___ 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] File Exists - a better way?
Ah, you're right Ian. My post wasn't really a reply to your sollution,
the topic "File Exists - a better way" just triggered a memory to the
code I posted. I just wanted to contribute a bit to the original topic
(it was a long, tiresome day).
But perhaps it might be useful in some other way? For example if you'd
like to preload/cache a few files when your application starts that
can be used later on...
Oh well, sorry for the noise.

Re: [Flashcoders] File Exists - a better way?
Ian: "There's no Flash native hack as far as I know."
You can check (and cache while you're at it) any file by using LoadVars:
var file:String = "anyFileType.exe";
var fileExists:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
fileExists.onLoad = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, doCheck);
fileExists.load(file);
function doCheck(success:Boolean) {
if (success) trace("File "+file+" exists.");
else trace("File "+file+" does not exist.");

[Flashcoders] sorting a collection of points clockwise
Hi List, I'm looking for an algorithm that sorts a collection of points counter-, or clockwise by (probably) means of comparing each point to the center point of the collection. Calculating the centerpoint wasn't too hard, but I'm stuck at the comparing part. It doesn't matter which point the returning array begins with, but I'd like the method to be as fast as possible since it will be called every frame.

[Flashcoders] Flash 8 CPU test script
Hi list, I'd like to be able to tell if the user's cpu is up for a heavy load of animations, filters and flv's with alphachannel. I remember a post about how the Flash 8 VM had been drastically rewritten so that cpu-usage and garbage collection acted in a whole new manner. In Flash 7 I'd write a method that would do some heavy math and return the time it took. However I'm not sure if the results in Flash 8 would be reliable, with the new VM and all.

Re: [Flashcoders] Component instantiation- How does dragging affect the constructor
If you create your first Singleton-instance, and from that class you
build up your application, the instance is not yet stored in the
variable. Therefore when other elements call its getInstance(), the
classvar hasn't been set yet. That's why your Singleton's constructor
gets called twice. My solution was this:
private static var $instance:ThisClass;
public function getInstance():ThisClass {
if (!$instance) $instance = new ThisClass();
return @instance;
}
private function ThisClass() {
if (!$instance) $instance = this;
init();
}
It's sloppy, but it works ;-)

Re: [Flashcoders] reverse play FLV?
You can't play an flv backwards because of the way it is encoded. A video consists of sequencial compressed images. If you jump to a frame, the decoder has to collect an I-frame (a complete image) and walk through B-frames (partial images containing only changed eareas) to accumulate frames until it has reached your selected frame. Understandably, that requires some performance. If you'd like to play in reverse you'll have 2 options: create another flv from reverse footage and play that one instead, or create an image sequence of loose images and put them in a mc. Now you can build controls that play through the mc (or swf) in any direction or speed you wish.

Re: [Flashcoders] Integrating Flex 2 swfs into custom built 8.5 sfws
I foresee a problem though.. Flash uses the first class(name) it encounters in multiple swf's. When loading an swf that uses newer classes then present in the first swf, the player will use the older ones. So when exporting a swf that makes use of Flex's classes, that may be upgraded versions of classes you use in your framework, you might be in for a surprise. Just a warning, perhaps you've already thought about that.
