RE: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 UI Bug
Steven Sacks, it's sounds like I'll have to keep up my funky flash workey properly rain dance, or maybe it's the weekly sacrifices ;) I seem to remember a bunch of bugs that were very system specific (no rhyme or reason) when flash 8 came out! Macromedia had real problems reproducing them.

RE: [Flashcoders] XML for course delivery
This was set-up a while ago: http://osflash.org/edumatic but has been silent for a while. Maybe your system could help inject some life back into it??? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Wheeler Sent: 03 July 2007 16:34 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] XML for course delivery I just wanted to let you know that we have a course delivery application that we wrote about 4 years ago in Flash using XML to control the delivery of material. It uses a few XML files to control the flow. The first is a company file that controls skinning for different customers (logos, colours, etc.). It also controls administrative behaviour that is common to all courses for that company (logon required, format of usernames for validation, where to find the list of valid users-if required, administrator's e-mail for sending out test results, etc.) Each course is controlled by a chapter file that lists each chapter and tells the system where to find the chapter assets. This helps partition the course assets into manageable chunks. Our courses tend to be long with 2 to 5 chapters each with 30-80 slides(pages). Chapters may be created in parallel so it also helps keep the integrators from stepping on each other's toes. The main file (pages file) controls the delivery of content. Each slide (page) has a basic structure that is the same for all types of pages. Pages are identified as content, test - formative(immediate feedback) or summative (exam), control pages(dummy pages that signal something like chapter end). Simple pages look a bit like your proposed structure (except for duration - we get that from the sound file). For more interesting interaction, a page can call up a template which is run as a sub-function and accesses its own custom datastructure which is stored as a sub-node under the main page node. This is used to implement tests (multiple choice, matching, custom flash interactions, etc.) or slides with timed appearance of bullets and images. This allows us to make courses that look like custom timeline animations just by putting information in XML that says at 10 seconds into the narration show this picture(jpg or swf), and at 15 seconds display this text in 14 point Arial, green and bold and at 25 second replace the image with this one. The test templates can communicate their final test results back to the main flow which builds up a history that can be sent to the administrator at the end of the test. This returning XML structure includes the grade and the text that the test generated which typically describes what happened in a wrong answer. The main flow has no idea about the information, its only job is to save it and produce a final e-mail. The e-mail is sent through our server so that the person only needs HTTP access through their company firewall and does not even need e-mail on their PC - greatly simplifies administration; the student can work from work or home without .having to do any setup. We use XML internally to pass information around between objects. XML is easy to parse and whole sub-nodes can be easily extracted and sent to another object without knowing what is in it. This tends to make each object much simpler and less dependent on its friends. It has been used for all sorts of courses in French and English. We are selling an Explosives Technician's pre-course that we did for the RCMP. It is also used by Canadian Forces to train IEDD specialists. We have done a few technical courses in the petrochemical area including Pumps, Steam Traps, Work Permits and a ISO-14001 Awareness course. We have done a course on Public Participation for municipal managers and elected officials. It is very flexible in a wide variety of application areas. It has proven to be extremely robust in the field running over LAN, off of CD-ROM and over the Internet through an LMS. It can be run as a SCORM compliant content. I am not a big fan of SCORM but ??? We are thinking about making it open source, if there is some interest. We have also done another application involving a medium sized database stored in XML delivered on standalone CD-ROM which allowed first responders to quickly find information and photos about the Personal Protective Equipment used by all first responders in the city. (from gas masks to sun-screen). We have never had any problems with XML with any recent version of Flash so I think that you will be OK.

RE: [Flashcoders] Selection class makes me want to kick someone in theface
Hi Andreas,
I've got round this in the past by getting the selection when it is made rather
than when the button is pushed.
Something like (you may need to fiddle with the scopes):
richText_txt.onMouseDown = function(){
if((this._parent._xmouse this._x) (this._parent._xmouse (this._x
+ this._width)) (this._parent._ymouse this._y) (this._parent._ymouse
(this._y + this._height))){
ref.selecting = true;
}
};
richText_txt.onMouseUp = function(){
if(ref.selecting == true){
//Store the selection info at this point!!!
}
ref.selecting = false;
};
Hope that helps,

Subject: [Flashcoders] Selection class makes me want to kick someone in theface
...which is, i gather, somewhat of a general consensus.
I'm working on a tablet pc application that requires the user to be able to
select text and transfer this text to other parts of the application.
The ideal way is as such:
1. The user makes a selection from *any selectable text field* 2. A button
appears near the selected text 3. The user taps the button 4. The selected text
is copied to a buffer 5. The selection is cleared 6. An event is broadcast
Now my problem is, this is what happens:
1. The user makes a selection
2. A button appears near the selected text 3. The user taps the button 4. The
text field loses focus, launching Selection.onSetFocus, which checks if the
current selection, now null, is an editable textfield. Naturally, null is
not, so the button becomes hidden.
5. The user releases the now invisible button 6. Selection.onSetFocus gathers
that the new selection is null, and uh, returns focus to the text field,
which retains its selection.
7. Now that the textfield, which is valid in terms of this purpose, the
button is shown again.
Hmm.. Infinite cycle. Not cool.
The big issue here is that Selection.onSetFocus is called prior to
MovieClip.onPress. This basically means there's no way i can make changes to
the current selection before onSetFocus is called. With this in mind: How the
bloody hell is it possible to make changes to a selection with a button?
The more i kick this horse around, the more contrived the AS looks, and it's
becoming seriously demoralizing.
Any input is appreciated.

RE: [Flashcoders] DECODE XML Encoded Characters?
Those are html encodings. If you put them into an HTML textField as is
they will work fine (if that is what you are after).
Escape and unescape deal with URL encoding which is a different thing.
If you want the html encoding to turn into the actual characters then I
don't think flash can do it without you writing your own parser.

Yes, but you should be writing to the .htmlText property not the .text property as that will then keep all the styling in place via html code.

RE: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow onquestion
I think that replaceSel() acts on the rendered output rather than the
code, so it thinks that you want to actually display the text that you
entered rather than adding it to the code (hope that makes sense!)
You could scan through the textfield.htmlText value (i.e. the code) and
relate the selection index in the rendered output to the actual index in
the code, then insert your image code in the textfield.htmlText.
I have done this previously (for a different reason) by just running two
counters as I looped through each character in the code, one counter
counts every character and the other ignores characters that are part of
a tag.
Bit of a pain, but I hope it helps,
Giles

I just did exactly this, a couple of days ago. I created a class
that
can
apply any kind of supported HTML formatting. The idea seemed
daunting
at
first, but the class is relatively small. You can assign/remove
textfields
that it should watch. I don't have it here with me right now, but
here's
the basics:
It doesn't use replaceText at all.
I have a switch statement for the various textformat options (some
are
Boolean (bold, italic, etc) and some have arguments (leading, size,
etc).
When the textfield has focus use an interval to get the beginIndex
and
endIndex. You can clear the interval onkillFocus.
Then in your setFormat function
Public function setFormat (type, arg):Void {
var temp_fmt:TextFormat = currentField.getTextFormat(beginIndex,
endIndex);
switch (type)
{
case bold:
case italic:
case underline:
//etc...
{
temp_fmt[type] = temp_fmt[type] == false ? true
:
false;
break;
}
case leading:
case align:
case size:
//etc...
{
temp_fmt[type] = arg;
break;
}
}
currentField.setTextFormat(beginIndex, endIndex, temp_fmt); }
This should give you a head start.

Subject: [Flashcoders] New to the list - got a question
Hi All,
I'm new to the list, so appologies if I don't get the posting right on
this - but I have a question.
I'm trying to load in a set of XML data, manipulate it and then get it
to display on the stage. So far so good on the first two fronts - I can
get the data in and get everything I want out of it.
Now the amount of XML is dynamic, so I have pushed the needed data into
an array.
For example.
XML:
xml
data
item/item
/data
data
item/item
/data
/xml
The amount of data elements is dynamic (and there is a lot of other
rubbish in the XML) so I've pushed all the data elements into an
array.
So far, so good, I can cycle through the array and access the XML
elements using Xpath.
The problem is - for each data element, I want to create a new
instance of a MovieClip on the stage (thats already created in the
library) and set varaibles inside it, and change it's X and Y positions.
No problems creating it - but I can't access the MovieClip! Because the
data is dymanic, I need to be able to create x amount of MovieClips.
So I'm using the following code to do this:
//For each Data Element in the Array (x = 0; x numDataElementsInArray;
x++) {
var newItemDividerName:String = itemDividerStageRecord +x;
attachMovie(itemDivider, newItemDividerName ,x);
//Now this all works, a newMovieClip is created on the stage (for as
many elements as I have), 10 at the moment
}
Now the problem is - I then can't access the MovieClip dynamically.
Basically I want to be able to access it by the variable name i've just
assigned it.
For example - I now have (when it is published), 10 elements on level0,
named itemDividerStageRecord0-9.
So I want to set their cords. So what i've been doing is:
_root._level0.newItemDividerName._x = nextItemDivider; //nextItemDivider
is a Number which does increment
And thats not working at all - nothing is changing.
I've traced it down to the name I'm using to access it - if in the same
loop I put:
_root._level0.itemDividerStageRecord6._x = nextItemDivider;
That works for one MovieClip (obviously).
But I want to be able to access each MovieClip dynamically.
Is there any way to do this? I want to pass the instance name the
varaible when setting the cord, not use the absolute element name
newitemDividerName.
Please let me know if this is confusing, I can explain better!
Cheers.

RE: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash?
You want to be using the TextFormat class. If you use it on an htmlTextField then flash does all the html coding for you; much easier! Giles -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: 01 August 2006 15:11 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash? Two related questions. In a nutshell, trying to make a WSIWYG HTML text editor for Flash 7. Question 1: Has anyone created an HTML text editor component or class of some kind in Flash? Basically, having a textfield containing a paragraph of text the user can apply bold, size, font, etc. to - I assume it would use something like: textfield.replaceText(Selection.getBeginIndex(),Selection.getEndIndex(), theNewString) or something to that effect. So to my second question, I was able to get the above working, but the html Textfield would not apply the new HTML tags, it would show them literally when replaceText was used. Initially, I set the text with textField.htmlText = myText and renders fine with the bolding, but textField.replaceText() seems to not allow the textfield to show the bold tags applied - it shows the literal tag. Any ideas? Basically, would like to create a WSIWYG HTML text editor (flash 7), but from what I read in the archives, it's a lot harder than it sounds and maybe not even possible in Flash right now, but I don't want to give up too early. It seems that all the basic methods are available, there are just some quirks to work out with the Textfield class.

RE: [Flashcoders] Text editor - Selection trouble.
I got round this this by adding a mouse listener to the textField and checking
onMouseDown that the mouse was pressed within the text area, if it was then
onRelease gets the selection (getCaret(), getBeginIndex() getEndIndex()) and
stores it in variables so it can be recalled later.
This allows you to set the selection up again after a styling button has been
released, so the user doesn't have to re-select to apply some more styling
(maybe they want it bold italic). It also allows you to setup a function to
check the styling of selected text and automatically put toggle buttons into
the correct state (if bold text is selected the bold button goes to the down
state).
It all depends how far you want to take your quite simple text editor ;)

Hi all,
I'm trying to build a quite simple text editor in f8 and are currently
having some problems with the Selecton class.
If anyone can give me some pointers it would be much apreciated.
Problem is that whenever I try to use my buttons I loose focus of the
textField and the Selection doesn't trigger. Like so:
boldButton.onRelease = function () {
my_txt.setTextFormat(Selection.getBeginIndex(),
Selection.getEndIndex(), arialBold);
}
Selection.getBeginIndex() and Selection.getEndIndex() only returns -1
And if someone has a live exemple (with code) that would be awesome. A
component is not an option tho.
Tnx

[Flashcoders] As2 Event Broadcasting for fp 6.0
Hi All, I'm trying to figure out the best way to do events in as2 published for fp6.0. Something like Brandon Halls EventBroadcaster would be perfect, but in as2 obviously. Does anybody have any ideas? BTW: I'm trying to stay away from AsBroadcaster/ASBroadcaster, if pos.
