Re: [Flashcoders] E4X: reading CDATA
If you are getting ![CDATA[ values from using e4x you have html encoded tags. like this: l t ; and $ g t; Open the xml file with notepad and you will see.

I've searched around looking for a way to elegantly extract CDATA out of an xml node, with no luck.

[Flashcoders] Preventing duplicate values in string constants (PureMVC)
I've published a little tip about preventing duplicate values in string constants Read about it here: http://blog.enedahl.com/?p=18 Excerpt: PureMVC uses strings to map notifications. This could lead to a number of string constants in a class. When creating new notifications I usually duplicate an old existing string constant. This is a problem, if I forget to change the value of the duplicated constant, there will be two constants with the same value, leading to unexpected behaviors that are hard to debug. /Christoffer Enedahl ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] back in job hell
If I were you I'd be pissed and ask for half my money now and a written contract with a spec, timeframe and milestones. If it doesn't come Id stop developing for that company on the grounds that the contractor has changed the oral contracts premesis. About asking for cleaning up the code it's not a good thing, the developer should write clean code from start, unless it's a prototype. If you are on a real short timeframe, keeping your head cool is the most important thing, doing your code fast is a timebomb for getting very hard bugs to solve, which eats up the time you gained and more. So I'd take my time and thing before coding in any situation. Be smart and KISS (Keep it simple stupid) Also, only focus on what you really need to get the things done, if you know where other stuff will come in later, add a comment and move on. Having a todolist with deadlines helps to keep you focused. Oh, by doing as I suggest with your contractor things can go havok, especially with money, it's up to you. I don't know the whole relationship you've got with them. Just don't blame me when the shit hits the fan ;) My 2 cents /Christoffer Anthony Pace skrev: Hello all, I was sucked into this project because I was told by my PM that I could use it as a portfolio piece to show off my coding skills and I could take up to six weeks on my evenings and weekends; however, after the first week all I heard was that I was not moving fast enough. 4 weeks into the development cycle, and my access to the FTP server has been blocked, and I am worried about whether or not I am going to get paid. Every time I even suggested cleaning up the code or getting more object oriented for later sustainability, I was told that if it would take half an hour longer that I shouldn't do it. Here I am thinking about avoiding support hassles and making it easier for a third party to use and edit my code in the future; yet, he doesn't give a shit, and that he just wants it NOW. Well what about the clients needs? don't you want to give them something they will be happy with?, to which he retorted I love the way you are thinking, you are definitely in the right head space; yet, right now I don't give a shit, I need to show my client something, and I just want it NOW. Okay, I understand needing to show the client something; yet, why not promise them a realistic time frame? Tired of this independent BS and dreaming of a real project, Anthony sebastian wrote: You can give clients more than they ask for, but just tell them clearly that you are. I've done this numerous times before and it hasn't led me into bad expectations the next time. It's all about being clear. Calculating efforts, communicating them for your and your client[s] benefits [before you negotiate final price], and then communicating progress -- in such a way that details are only discussed when unclear or when you need their input, or you are truly stuck/delayed. In essence, all of this is 101 project management [PM] skills. As an independent it goes a long way to be a good PM... even if the only person you are managing on your team is yourself to the client... ;) Good luck! Hope you made it out ok. :) Seb. dr.ache wrote: Like everytime - a communication problem. Sometimes a developer is not capable of explaining all that stuff to a client because he stucks in details a client should not be confronted with - then he needs a middle man. Sometimes the middle man itself has to less ideas what development means so he uses the wrong communication tools, too - what the client is concerned. Next time you should communicate at an earlier stage that you gonna work your ass off to make that work a good one. Its weird to have a client complain about things that are actually good for him. How does it come? Communication problem! Ultimately I think the client just feels passed over in the decision process. Thats why he is not satisfied with a better version of his website. Anthony Pace schrieb: Hi again, My client is saying his client is going to back out of the deal now if he doesn't get all of his revisions to the interface by the weekend; not a difficult request, but I will never work for my client again. You need paper between you and your client, and if you don't get that paper, it is not the developer's fault. Who takes on a project from a client without getting papers signed? For goodness sake get a contract online at the very least and have it signed; yet, then again, I didn't with my middle man, who is turning out to not to be a really good middle man after all. I need a middle man that will make it so I don't have to talk to the client at all unless it is about design and interface/work flow choices. My middle man says he will pay me, but what an idiot for taking on a client like that. If his client backs out and he is out of pocket, should I make him pay? I feel bad for this guy, but I did a lot
Re: [Flashcoders] I am stuck
Hmm... I guess it could work. Here is how I see it. Why would you do this outside of flash? Cons: The user must have javascript enabled (Often not a problem) The remote data must reside on the html server (sort of) Data source can be detected by viewing source Pros: You already have coded the system Usually I call a webservice to fetch my data, or load a remote xml file from within flash. Pass in the url in the parameters to the flash. Cons: Using a other domain, you'll have to add/modify a crossdomain.xml file on that server. Data source can be detected running a special add-in in firefox Pros: The opposite of the first con /Christoffer Anthony Pace skrev: I was sucked in to a project developing a contractor management system... there were problems with not knowing for sure if the data was being returned, and I needed the ability to load data from a remote source so: * I had the data be loaded in a script tag as an array, * then had the loaded script call a function called load(option), that is established in a script tag with static source * based on the parameter passed it performs an function with that data, and the only thing I need is a timeout timer does this sound a bit hackish?

I would hide one layer at a time until you find out which layer it is in. Then hide all other layers and unlock the layer with the placeholder. Select and delete them. If they are within a movieclip, doubleclick them until you can delete them. You might need to unlock more layers. HTH/Christoffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] skrev: Hi All, I have a problem that I cannot seem to solve. The problem is that I deleted three small symbol buttons from the main interface of a flash document template. Now, I visibly see their placeholder, but I cannot find the location of the placeholder for deletion. I need to delete the placeholder because it is visibly unappealing. Any suggestions? All responses are greatly appreciated.

[Flashcoders] New game: Exxon - The decontaminator
This weekend I participated in ludum dare 48h, A bi-annual 48 hour solo game development competition. In the contest you are given a theme and you have to make a game of that theme from scratch in 48 hours. You must make all content yourself. I made a 2d topdown boat game in as3. Including source. http://www.imitationpickles.org/ludum/2008/04/20/exxon-the-decontaminator-2/ /Christoffer aka drZool ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] New game: Exxon - The decontaminator
Thanks. Yes, I have a couple of stuff I want in. Stuff like: preventing animals getting stuck in the oil, multiplayer, race, prevent oil getting lit on fire, boat upgrades. Online leveleditor. Ahhh so many possibilities, so little time.

Re: [Flashcoders] better logic statement
Untested email code. But you get the gits of it, I hope
// properties
var ThumbnailSetSize = 10;
var i = 0;
var page = 0;
/// on next image
i++;
if (i == ThumbnailSetSize ){
page++;
i=0;
//Do something
}
id = (page*ThumbnailSetSize ) + i;

Hi
I build slideshow with 10 visible thumbnails. After each 10 pictures I
move thumbnails to show next 10.
Another words
if (id==11 || id==21 || id==31) {do something}
How to write more wise if statement?
Thanks
