Re: [Flashcoders] Stage video

[Gregory Boland]

you can take Flash CS5 and point it to the latest Flex SDK build.  And then
you should be able to compile against that version of Flash.

If you open Flash and then open the the Flash Program preferences -->
Actionscript 3.0 settings --> Flex SDK path will be an option

I would start here to find the latest Flex SDK

http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Flex+SDK

good luck

Re: [Flashcoders] is there a dsp lib with analysis using zero crossing in as3

[Gregory Boland]

there's probably something like that in Andre Michelle's tonfall library

http://code.google.com/p/tonfall/

there are some classes in there that make it easier to process audio
signals, but I don't know if there is something doing exactly what you want.
 If you only want something to evaluate when the signal is above or below 0
then you can probably do that easy enough yourself from the values coming
out of a bytearray.

there is nothing in there that performs an FFT on the signal though, its all
strictly from a time-domain aspect.

ADB is the android debugging device that you need to install separately from

Re: [Flashcoders] (From a PDF?) Getting bitmap data successfully

[Gregory Boland]

best way to do it is to convert the PDF to a SWF and then work with it as a
SWF.

Something like this will do it

http://www.swftools.org/

You can load the swf and each page of the pdf will be a frame of the swf

Re: [Flashcoders] Prevent children from listening to parent mouse events

[Gregory Boland]

there are several ways to combat this but i think what you want to use is
ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT on the parent instead of the MOUSE_OVER and
MOUSE_OUT.  rollover and rollout are different as rollover ignores the
children, check out this post

http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1948052

other than that you
can try mouseChildren = false on the parent sprite if you don't care about
the stuff inside having mouseevent properties

Re: [Flashcoders] Event.COMPLETE Question

[Gregory Boland]

e.target isn't your loader info, its most likely the Loader itself.

the target is where the event bubbles from, and the currentTarget is what
was applied the listener

so what you are looking for is e.target.content and that is whatever you
loaded in

Re: [Flashcoders] OOP and XML

[Gregory Boland]

either way works... its a 6 of one half a dozen of another type situation

so you could say

dispatchEvent(Event.COMPLETE) from your XMLLoader class and put the data
into a public var that your class listening can access.

Or you could make a custom event like this

dispatchEvent(new XMLEvent(XMLEvent.DATA_LOADED, loader.data));

where you send in the data into a custom event u make

hope this makes sense

Re: [Flashcoders] [MEMORY LEAK]

[Gregory Boland]

All I can say is that you aren't releasing all of the references to this
material that you are trying to release from memory.

So after you make this call

addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);

make that = to null as well as any other time that you are referring to this
content you are trying to rid.

I know if you run your program in Flex Builder and choose the profiler, you
can actually purge the garbage manually and see if the object you want to be
deleted gets purged.  If it hasn't then there is still something that is
referencing it.  However, after looking at your code it seems that you are
writing it on the timeline and i'm not sure how you would go about putting
that into Flex Builder.

best of luck

Re: [Flashcoders] [MEMORY LEAK]

[Gregory Boland]

TS,

what is the content that you are loading from this external swf every 30,000
milliseconds?  It is feasible that what you are loading is causing the
memory of the Flash player to increase?

I never saw where you ready the swf itself for garbage collection.  I see
that you are setting the loader to null but you still have the content on
the stage.  Although it looks like you are trying to remove something from
the display list at position 0.

Are you sure that you are removing what you are intending to remove?  Maybe
a more thorough emptying of the display list is in order such as a for loop
through the list, removing whatever might be on it.

And keep in mind that the garbage collection doesn't necc happen as soon as
you make something = null.  It happens on a garbage cycle when Flash feels
like it, not when u want it to.


"In Flash Player 9, the garbage collector's operations are deferred. This is
a very important thing to understand. Your objects will not be removed
immediately when all active references are deleted. Rather, they will be
removed at some indeterminate time in the future (from a developer
standpoint). The garbage collector uses a set of heuristics that look at the
RAM allocation and the size of the memory stack, among other things, to
determine when to run."

thats essentially it.

Syntax is slightly different

}

Re: [Flashcoders] Error #2044

[Gregory Boland]

one addition to this is if you are loading something using a cross domain
policy you might need to tell your loader to check for a cross domain policy
using LoaderContext class..

it would look like this..

_loader = new Loader();
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
 // set the check policy flag in the loader context
 context.checkPolicyFile=true;
_loader.load(new URLRequest("image path goes here"), context);

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash security issue

[Gregory Boland]

create an .exe file so that when you run it from a CD you can run it
standalone.  Not sure about what your using, if it allows you to do that but
maybe if you create a wrapper swf and load the other swf into your wrapper
swf you can create an .exe file

you call the event on the constructor...

you add the listener to the event after you make a new instance of that

Re: [Flashcoders] Sound.extract

[Gregory Boland]

Ben,

Your going to want to perform an FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and move from
the time domain to the frequency domain.

And to be more specific I believe you are gonna want to perform a Discrete
Fourier Transform.

I know a lot of work has been done on this in C and perhaps you could find
something and port it over to Actionscript.

There could be a problem computing all of that in real time though.

best of luck

you might be experiencing a related issue regarding accessing properties of

you have the same issue

[Flashcoders] JSON Experiences

[Gregory Boland]

Dear list,

I am looking into using JSON to bring data into Flash as opposed to XML and
I wondering what other people's experiences have been with it.  People tell
me that its much easier to use than xml and easier to implement.

Does anyone know of a good place to see some AS3 code that uses JSON so i
can see how it works?

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating for loops for event listeners

[Gregory Boland]

Store your buttons in an array

then for loop through the array

If you have instances of them on stage already and are not creating them
dynamically then its a little more work but u could still pass a reference
of each button into the array

Re: [Flashcoders] E4X question

Mike,

take the XMLList that you have and run a for each loop on it looking for a
match at the name attribute

for each (var element:XML in FloorPlanData.floor){
   if(eleme...@name == thisLabel){
   return element

   }

}

or something along those lines

Hope this is what you were asking

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Loader() stupidity

[Gregory Boland]

Paul,

try to localize your error.  Pull this code out and put it in a separate swf
and see if that is still happening.  I'm assuming that your assetLoader is a
class variable.

Doesn't look like anything from here is an issue.  You don't have a custom
Loader class that is interfering with the Loader keyword do you?

[Flashcoders] Add Child Failing in wrapped .NET code in IE7 only

[Gregory Boland]

Dear List,

 I have a strange one here...

I am loading in external swfs and Bitmaps, and I am using them as a logo on
a button.  I put them inside a MovieClip from the library and linked to a
class that gives it button functionality.  Everything works fine before I
integrate it into another developer's .NET code.  As soon as I do, it works
everywhere else but IE7 on Windows.

I put debug text into the swf itself so i could see how the swf is reacting
in IE7.  I can tell you that the logos load and sort of appear.  They are
put behind other images on stage that load fine and there is no button swf
that they are supposed to be wrapped in.

Again this is only in IE7 AND only when placed in .NET code.

Here is an example of it working on my site..

http://www.gregoryboland.com/dev/topbutton/todaysale/index_3up.html

And here is the same code working in .NET environment

http://www.thetopsecret.com/TS/Protected/Sale/SaleHome.aspx?Type=Flash&Corp=NEWDESIGN

urnme:gu...@topbutton.com 
pwd:guest

Has anyone ever experienced such a specific problem?  Does anyone think that
there is something wrong with the .NET code?

thanks for your help

Re: [Flashcoders] display trace() in text field

[Gregory Boland]

I'm not quite sure what your asking.

The trace output is nothing more than strings of text.  Its completely
possible to make a class that does the same thing for you but displays it in
the Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] text line overflow

[Gregory Boland]

Just find out how many characters fit into your allocated textfield space
then count the characters coming in


You could put the string of text that you want in the textfield into an
array that is broken by each word like this..

//str being the string that u want to work with
  _str_arr = str.split(" ");


Then character count each word till you reach the maximum your textfield
holds  
//keeps track of how many characters
var char_cnt:int = 0;

//limit is how many characters your textfield can hold
var limit:int = 50;

//new string array
newString_arr = new Array();

for(var z:int = 0; z < _str_arr.length; z++){
//want to keep count of each word and break when the char_cnt
//hits the limit
char_cnt += _str_arr[z].length;
//if the character count is equal or greater than the limit *
the num of lines, store that info
//and  break out of the for loop
if(char_cnt >= limit){
newString_arr = _str_arr[z]);
break;
}
} 

Now u have a new array of words that fit into your textfield.  Concat them
together into a new string and put it into the textfeld.

In your new array if the last word in the element doesn't include a period
then you need to add the "..."

Hope this helps

Re: [Flashcoders] XML optimization

[Gregory Boland]

Are you allowed to put html tags in an attribute? Like a  tag?  I would
think that < in the attribute would screw it up.

Why not just taking some of those longer string attributes and make them
nodes and wrap them in CDATA?

Just a thought

Re: [Flashcoders] FW: External flv security issue...

[Gregory Boland]

I don't know if you have checked into this or not, but I have had a similar
issue in as2 where I couldn't load anything off of an external server.  I
had the cross-domain in place and as it turns out it was re-directing to
another site when Flash tried to hit the cross-domain file.

Good luck

greg
