People who comment like that are my bane and here is why. Commenting
like that in your code makes it completely impossible to easily and
completely comment out blocks of code using /* */ because they have
their */ inside their comments. Believe it or not, this is a very
important tool in debugging.
So, please do everyone a favor and only use block comments before and
after your code and use line comments // for all comments inside your
code. :)
Thanks,

If you need something easy to see (say for example if you are commenting
where your remoting handlers are), something like:
///
// Remoting Handlers
///
// other code
///
// Button Handlers

Just throwing it out there.

Re: [Flashcoders] communication between flash and access db
Céline Nguyen wrote: Hi, I am beeing asked a question too technical for me, and maybe some of you might be interessted and could help me to see the things more clearly. I'm building a desktop application with Flash Studio, f8, oop, shared obj. One of the clients of my client wants the application to have some communication with an external access database, this DB would be on a central server. I suggested an asp page, but the costs to install and maintain such asp server seem to be a problem, and consequently the client does not want to install an asp server. So I am beeing asked if Flash can communicate with this access database with an odbc connection. Does it make some sense to you ? What are the other ways (without asp) to send and load data to an access DB ? Did someone have this issue before ? Thank you very much in advance, Celine Flash does not have any out of the box database capabilities to connect direct. Everything I have ever seen involves flash remoting, and a servers side language like php or .net. A quick google search pretty much confirms this. If licensing costs are the issue, maybe an internal server with linux/php could help (although not all IT guys can deal with 'nix - so there could be added cost in setup). -- dnk ___ 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] [Fwd: relay responder method never called]
Can things like whitespace produce this kind of result? How about spaces instead of tabs (code formating)? Just having a hard time tracking this issue down. Just to recap, and possibly add more info: I had a remoting project that just stopped working. I put traces in on the method that calls the php service, and one in the relay responder method. The first trace is fired, but not the second one. I then had my PHP class use touch to create a file on the server to see if it is fired - it is. but for some reason the relay responder method is never fired. I read something about having white space in the PHP class outside the php class chokes amfphp (well rather flash) - but - I don't have any - so I am wondering if there is any other thing in a php class that would cause flash to not know how to handle the results? Are there php settings maybe that could effect it? The server host also updated our server that day. But my other remoting classes are working. Even this class is working in other areas in the movie - it is so perplexing. I just need to figure out why the responder never happens (as this is a live site). Thanks in advance for any info!

Now I did a bunch of tracing tests to see if: Hi dnk, This may not be a proper answer to your question, but when faced with this kind of headache I stick all the problem buttons, thumbnails etc in a single movieclip, delete that clip to clear them, and redraw the whole thing from scratch. Bad for the processor, good for my sanity. Tony Ok - as an update I realized why this was not working - my buttons were being wiped out and recreated, but the original delegates (onPress) were the issue. When my class was initialized the delegates were calling their respective functions as it should. The issue I had was that when the 2nd page of thumbnails were loaded - the buttons were still listening to hte original delegate functions. I have written those functions to use variables to load the images - but it seems that when the functions used by delegate - had not updated the variables.. it seemed to only want to do that on the initial load. I hope i am explaining this properly. For the way I seem to think about code - it would be nice if there was a way to write dynamic functions.

[Flashcoders] |:::| can you write dynamic meathods in a class?
Hi there
Can you write dynamic methods in a class?
for example
for (var i:Number = 0; i 11; i++)
{
function onBtnPress + i()
{
trace(Button number: + i + was pressed);
}
}
So then that would essentially create 10 methods (onBtnPress0 to
onBtnPress9) to be used by various onPress events.
Is this possible? Then at the same time you could write the delegate and
create the buttons and so one as well.
Then continuing on my thought - could you then over-write the onBtnPress
functions with new values (say for example the trace would be:
trace(Button number: + i + was pressed with the currValue of +
externalVariable);
instead of the original:
trace(Button number: + i + was pressed);
I am a hobby AS coder, and I am probably way off here. All I am trying
to do is build a thumbnail nav for a gallery.
Thanks in advance!

Ramon Miguel M. Tayag wrote:
I don't think you can create dynamic functions.. even if you could, I
don't see the need to.
use your arguments to make your functions all-purpose.
Ex.
function onBtnPress(n:Number):Void
{
trace(n + was pressed.);
}
button0.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onBtnPress, 0);
button1.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onBtnPress, 1);
Ah! I never knew you could throw args like that to your functions
through delegate
Sweet!
That totally makes more sense!
Now my next question
Say for example I needed to throw a different arg to that function?
IE this time I needed one var, and later I needed another?
var nMyNum:Number = 0;
button0.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onBtnPress, nMyNum);
nMyNum = 10;
//need to update the delegate here
//button0.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onBtnPress, nMyNum);
Can you remove or overwrite delegate instances?

[Flashcoders] ?? inconsistant results - remoting ??
Hi there - I have a flash movie with different frames that make remoting calls. Now when I view them from the server (and loaded into another movie) - not all the data will populate in various text fields. When i just test it out of the IDE and local on my computer - it works fine! Now the perplexing thing is that SOME fields are populated, and others are not. And since it works when tested local, I know my assignments (text fields to data) are correct. Then the other odd thing is that on another frame I will have remoting calls and they will function as normal! I thought at first maybe I was missing something out of scope, or that my class was messed up - but the fact that it works local, or if I copy and paste the MC from the problem movie into a new one, it all works as it should.

[Flashcoders] getting started with AS3
And yes I did search the archive =-). At any rate I was wondering if there is a way to get started with AS3 without having to delve into flex. Nothing against flex, but I just wanted to focus on the language, and not the tool (at this point). And well also since i am on a mac - there seems to be no flex (as of yet - unless that has changed in the last month). IS there a way to do so with flash, or would that only be possible if I was part of some sort of beta tester program for flash 9(which I am sure I do not qualify for)?
