RE: [Flashcoders] gotoAndStop and Frame labels as Numbers

[Fitzpatrick, Kevin]

Matthew,

Because in this case "2" would refer to the second of a number of
"slides".  I know it's not an ideal situation.  


Jason, 
As to it being a best practice to start with a non-numeric character, I
totally understand the logic behind that.  However, I believe that this
is flaw in the player that we are being detoured around by the *best
practices*.  As we all know "2" is very different from 2.  If I specify
a string "2" why would the player reinterpret that into the Number(2)?
Whether I named it a silly name or not, why would the developers have
thought that I'd want them to change the datatype of my parameter when I
explicitly defined it as a String?  

We'll probably work around it by calling the frame "Slide 2" or whatever
but it does seem like a silly restriction.  

Of course, there is *always* the chance that I'm doing something
incredibly wrong, too :)

Thanks,
Kevin

Just curious, but why would you want to use numerics as frame labels
then use frameLabel:String? Why not frameLabel:Number?

Hey all,

A question regarding frame labels. When using the
gotoAndStop(frameLabel:String) method in a simple flash movie and the
string could be evaluated to a Number (such as the string "2" or "20")
it seems that the flash player does evaluate it and sends the playhead
to *frame 2* instead of the frame *labeled '2' *.

Does everyone else experience this problem and is there anyway around it
that still allows one to label a frame with a string that could be a
number.

Sorry if that was a bit confusing.

RE: [Flashcoders] puzzle: how to verify piece-fitting?

[Fitzpatrick, Kevin]

I can't off the top of my head think of any visual ways of doing it, but
you can check the relationship of the pieces to each other.  For
instance if piece A can only fit to the left of B and the bottom of C
(it's the lower left hand corner) then you could check those two
distance relationships and the rotation of each.  

You'd have to store all of the "right" relationships somewhere, such as
in the piece instances.

Is this the kind of solution you're looking for?

RE: [Flashcoders] Browser back button, is it necessary?

[Fitzpatrick, Kevin]

I believe they are using something similar to the technique described in
this article on Community MX.  I think you need the pay subscription to
read it. http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=727E8

However, for those who don't have a subscription, it basically uses two
frames, one of which is invisible.  In the main movie when you click a
link it actually does a getURL including a tag of some sort on the
invisible frame. (e.g. history.html?section=foo)  When history.html
reloads it has a javascript function which document.writes a flash movie
called something like history.swf which has a FlashVars reference to the
section variable of the URL.  This flash movie talks to the other one
through LocalConnection, telling it to go to whatever section it wants.
So when the user presses their back button it is actually refreshing
history.html which will then tell the main movie what to do.  A little
confusing at first, but it's a nice hack.

RE: [Flashcoders] performance difference between flash stand alone andbrowsers

[Fitzpatrick, Kevin]

Honest question: Why are you running it at 90fps?  That's incredibly
fast.  TV runs only at ~30 fps and film at only 24 fps.

As to your question, my guess would be that browsers, as applications,
require a whole lot more memory and processing power to run than the
just the standalone app because they are running their own application +
the flash player.  Scaling shouldn't change anything as there is still
as much information to render, it's just using smaller lines to do so.
I hope that helps you out.

I have created a small game that runs with a very high framerate when
running in the standalone flashplayer (90+ fps) but is very sluggish in
both
IE and Firefox (more like 18 fps). As a matter of fact I still get a
good
framerate in the standalone player, while simultainously running the
sluggish game in a browser!

 

I don't really understand why the performance is so slow. Can anyone
enlighten me on what bottlenecks I might have stumped onto?  I have
tried to
scale the game to 50% but it doesn't affect performance very much.

 

Thanks for any hints,

Well, I definitely can't claim to be an expert on the issue, however I'm
sure we're using Tahoma 12 Bold in all our files.  Perhaps something is
being set by the flash player in those locales, such as our Chinese site
(http://www40.sap.com/china/index.epx), if the font is not found but we
have set the source files to Tahoma.

Of course you are correct about it not being installed on older Macs,
however, the higher ups in marketing made the decision not to support
those browsers/Oses.  Wouldn't necessarily have been my decision, but
that's the way it came down.

The only way which works always is to use device fonts: "_sans", 
"_serif", or "_typewriter". You cannot specify the font, because there 
is no such font that contains all the characters used in all the 
languages in the world!

By the way it does not make any differences between those 3 device fonts

- some languages display in generic sans font but some other does in 
serif, regardless of the font settings.

Hi Kevin,

The project setup in Flash MX 2004 and its VSS integration leave much to
be
desired.  I personally would suggest that you look into using Eclipse
with
the VSS plugin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin/ ) for that to
manage your Flash projects.  You will need one of the ActionScript
editor
plugins for Eclipse as well.  Check out either FDT (
http://www.powerflasher.com/fdt ) or the open source ASDT
(http://asdt.org/).

While setting these tools up may take a bit of time to figure out, in
the
end there are tremendous advantages to doing so.  You get a better code
editor than what comes with the Flash IDE, you are able to integrate
with
versioning systems like CVS, SVN, and VSS, you can get other plugins for
other code editing like Java, PHP, etc..., integrating with a  much
faster
compiler (MTASC) is relatively straight forward, and much more.

Anyway, it's just a suggestion.  I hope it helps.

-Chris

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Projects & Visual Source Safe

[Fitzpatrick, Kevin]

Miles, 

Sorry I wasn't more specific, I am using MX 2004 Pro and the option
isn't there.  I can't seem to find any more information on the problem.


Unforunately, I'm tied to VSS because the entire department uses it.

Read the docs - integration of VSS with Flash is for Flash 2004 MX 
Professional.

You might want to look at Subversion (version control software) with 
Tortoise (Windows interface); I've not used it for Flash because the
.fla 
is one honking big binary.

FWIW - tried both Subversion and VSS for Visual Basic work and much 
preferred the former.

Cheers - Miles

RE: [Flashcoders] Extending UIComponent or MovieClip

[Fitzpatrick, Kevin]

Nevermind, I have found an example after much searching.  If anyone is
interested I found this example of someone else's class on the web.

http://www.bdontwerp.nl/resources/components/simpleslider/SimpleSlider.a
s 

Thanks anyway! Hope this helps anyone who was having the same problem I
was!

Subject: [Flashcoders] Extending UIComponent or MovieClip

Does anyone have a working example of extending UIComponent or MovieClip
to create a component that uses Live Preview & publishes in both Flash
Player 6 and 7?  I know this involves using clipParameters &
initFromClipParameters but I cannot find anything that spells this out
at all.  People mention it all the time all over the web but it is just
not clear to me.

I know this was beat to death a couple of years ago but I'm just working
with it now and to no avail.

Thanks,

[Flashcoders] Flash Projects & Visual Source Safe

[Fitzpatrick, Kevin]

Hello, all.  Long time listener, first time caller.  And of course, I
have an annoying question to start out with:

So I've finally gotten around to setting up VSS and to start using
projects and I'm realizing that when I go into Flash Projects to set up
a "Site" with VSS (see figure 1
 ) and it seems like the option for Visual SourceSafe isn't there.

Now I know I have the VSS Client installed (see figure 2
 )
and I know I can connect via that client to the server. This all then
leads me to the question of why don't I have that option? I've been
working on this all morning and I haven't found mention of this issue
anywhere.

I am currently using Flash MX 2004 v7.2.

Any and all comments are appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin
