hey daniel

i think that means that you have three arrays of the B1:B7 Math.pow()
series, with each array being a different value in the curly-bracketed list.

That is:

B1:B7^{1,2,3} becomes

var myArray1 = [ Math.pow(B1,1),...,Math.pow(B7,1)];
var myArray2 = [Math.pow(B1,2),...,Math.pow(B7,2)];
var myArray3 = [Math.pow(B1,3),...,Math.pow(B7,3)];

B1:B7^{5,10} becomes

var myArray1 = [Math.pow(B1,5),...,Math.pow (B7,5)];
var myArray2 = [Math.pow(B1,10),...,Math.pow(B7,10)];

and so on

[Flashcoders] Excel Exponentiation (caret) Notation

[Daniel Cascais]

Hi,

Hi, I've stumbled upon this function call in Excel:
=LINEST(A1:A7,B1:B7^{1,2,3})

And I'm having issues with this last bit:
"B1:B7^{1,2,3}"


Let's say B1:B7 is an array from 1 to 7 considering this Excel notation:
"B1:B7"

It would look like this in ActionScript:

var n1:Number = 1;
var n2:Number = 2;
var n3:Number = 3;
var n4:Number = 4;
var n5:Number = 5;
var n6:Number = 6;
var n7:Number = 7;

var myArray:Array = [n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7];


Now, if I change this, considering the following Excel notation:
"B1:B7^2"

It would look like this ActionScript:

var n1:Number = Math.pow(1, 2);
var n2:Number = Math.pow(2, 2);
var n3:Number = Math.pow(3, 2);
var n4:Number = Math.pow(4, 2);
var n5:Number = Math.pow(5, 2);
var n6:Number = Math.pow(6, 2);
var n7:Number = Math.pow(7, 2);

var myArray:Array = [n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7];


But what on earth happens to the array with this Excel notation???
"B1:B7^{1,2,3}"

Re: [Flashcoders] BitmapData manipulation. Mirror effect.

[Daniel Cascais]

What I need to do is to make a mirror image of the
BitmapData and leave is as one single BitmabData.


Hi Claudia,

I did something similar in AS3, but I'm quite sure you can use it for
your needs too.

In your case, it would look something like this:

//---
var mirrorMatrix : Matrix = new Matrix( -1, 0, 0, 1, 50, 0 );
var imageMirror : BitmapData = new BitmapData( 50, 100 );
imageMirror.draw( image, mirrorMatrix );
image.copyPixels( imageMirror, new Rectangle( 0, 0, 50, 100 ), new
Point( 50, 0 ) );

owner.addChild( new Bitmap( image ) );
//---

Re: [Flashcoders] Accepting 1 parameter with 2 possible types in a method?

[Daniel Cascais]

you could try this:

private function myMethod( i:Object ):Void

On 6/15/06, Adrian Park <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hi List,

What's the neatest way of accepting a single parameter with 2 possible types
into a method and then working out what type of parameter has been passed?

e.g. in pseudo code

private function myMethod( i:Number/String ):Void {

   if ( i is a String ) {
  // do this
   } else if ( i is a Number ) {
  // do this
   }
}

I can think of several alternatives :
- passing a generic object which contains the property and then using typeof
on that property
- calling 2 different methods but, in this case, it just makes sense to be
one since it's doing the same thing with either parameter (retrieving a bit
of data from an Array which may be identified using a numerical id or a
String ID)
- limiting my method to accepting a String only and then defining a second
method that returns the correspoding String identifier given a numerical
identifier

All of the ways I can think of seem dirty. Is there a nice clean way or is
it wrong to expect the method to accept one parameter of different types?

Thanks in advance,
Adrian P.

[Flashcoders] SWF Mouse drag out

[Daniel Cascais]

Hi,

I've been testing how to get the x and y position of the Mouse when
outside the Stage when the SWF is embedded in an HTML, which obviously
is not easy. For now I am interested in getting the Mouse coordinates
when the mouse has been pressed inside the Stage (onMouseDown) and the
dragged out. When you do this and drag the Mouse outside the SWF
bounds you keep on getting the Mouse coordinates, which is excellent.
This works great in Firefox, but has some issues in Internet Explorer
(haven't tested in other browsers).

Now, in IE if you drag the Mouse UP and out of the SWF you will start
getting the desired results, but if you don't do it first you won't
get the coordinates when you have dragged the Mouse out of the Stage
bounds (LHS, RHS and bottom). Also, sometimes (if you play around a
lot) this will happen if you drag the mouse DOWN and out of the SWF.

After you have actually managed to get the corresponding behavior in
IE and then you let the Mouse go, the saga begins again.

Can anyone confirm this behavior in IE?
Can anyone explain this behavior in IE?
Can anyone solve this behavior in IE?


Here's some sample code you can try out:

createTextField ("output1", 1, 100, 22, 200, 22).text = "Not testing
mouse x and y position";
createTextField ("output2", 2, 100, 44, 200, 22).text = "0 x 0";
createTextField ("output3", 3, 100, 66, 200, 22).text = "Mouse is
outside the SWF bounds: false";

function onMouseDown()
{
   output1.text = "Testing mouse x and y position";
}

function onMouseUp()
{
   output1.text = "Not testing mouse x and y position";
}

function onMouseMove()
{
   output2.text = _xmouse + " x " + _ymouse;
   output3.text = "Mouse is outside the SWF bounds: " + ( _xmouse < 0
|| _xmouse > Stage.width || _ymouse < 0 || _ymouse > Stage.height );
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Load centered images in movie clip - Heeelp!

[Daniel Cascais]

Try using a MovieClipLoader and then wait for the onLoadInit event,
after that you can set the x and y based on the width and height.

I completely agree with what Ryan says, but if you still want to use
getNextHighestDepth(), as Nathan commented, you could do something
like this and get a similar result:

...getNextHighestDepth() + 10;

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV not showing, please help

[Daniel Cascais]

It might be that you are using the ON2 codec to create the FLVs.

In F8 (pro?) you can use both Sorenson and ON2 to make FLVs. If you
use Sorenson you'll be able to view the FLV in both FP7 and FP8 but if
you use ON2 you'll only see the video in FP8.

The audio will be heard on both players, as it is MP3 and both players
support it.

Re: [Flashcoders] checking combinations

[Daniel Cascais]

Thanks Andreas,

There might be some other advantages to my example:

The order of the results in the array (a, b, c…) can easily be
modified without having to get into the logic. And, you could also
increase/decrease the amount of affecting variables (value1, value2,
etc.) without spending too much time redoing the conditionals.

Using a table as in my example might also be very helpful to know the
results depending on the values of the different variables, which
might be easier to understand than a long switch conditional.

I know I'm not really answering your question, but it might be good
for some inspiration.

Note: I think the samples are done for FP8.

Re: [Flashcoders] elegant country list

[Daniel Cascais]

Maybe you could let the user choose a continent firts, and then give
him the country options.

Re: [Flashcoders] weird scaling issue in internet explorer and 1900 x 1200 resolution

[Daniel Cascais]

I tested it at a resolution of 1440x900 on both IE and FF. The output
I got was 1000x600.

Re: [Flashcoders] Open all Branches of a Tree Component

[Daniel Cascais]

Hi Martin,

I've used something like this (can't remeber exactly):



public function setTreeIsOpen(open:Boolean):Void
{
   for(var i:Number = 0; i < tree.length; i++)
   {
  tree.setIsOpen(tree.getTreeNodeAt(i), open, false);
   }
}



Hope it helps.
