Re: [Flashcoders] ALT+GR in FireFox 4.0
Hi Elia, Are you on a non-english keyboard? I never heard of that combination but that may have to do with you using a Spanish or Portuguese keyboard? I am only asking this because it will help understand your issue better. I read somewhere in line that ALT+GR is the @ symbol? In English Keyboards it is just SHIFT+2 which is not an issue at all. -h On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 1:41 AM, Elia Morlin elia.li...@gmail.com wrote: Surely someone has a fix ?

[Flashcoders] Inheritance and Static properties
So I understand that I can access static properties only child-parent but
not if we instantiate the subclass some where else within the application
but what would be the best way to go around this?
-ButtonParent -contains basic rollover/rollout/click events and does
dispatchEvent (new Event (BUTTON_CLICK));
-Children inherit ButtonParent and I want to be able to listen for the event
and also get the Name of the child.
var button1 : ButtonParent = new Child();
button1.addEventListener (Child.BUTTON_CLICK, doClickStuff) // of course
wont work because we cant access the static constants from child
button1.addEventListener (ButtonParent.BUTTON_CLICK, doClickStuff)// this
works but now I cant access the NAME from the child
private function doClickStuff ( event : Event ) : void
{
trace(event.target )// Child
trace(event.NAME)// undefined
}
// here is some more about the child
public class Child extends ButtonParent extends IButton
{
public static const NAME : String = ChildName;
}
Any ideas or recommendations?
I did get around the issue but not using static constants for the
BUTTON_CLICK constant and just setting it up as a public var
button1.addEventListener ( button1.BUTTON_CLICK, doClickStuff)// now this
works but looks such an ugly hack.

[Flashcoders] GetDefenitionByName from loaded SWF
Hello All, I am trying to access properties from a child file. This is the set up: Parent loadedA.swf // gets loaded into Parent loadedB.swf // gets loaded into Parent Parent has a static class called ParentClass and it has about 10 mutators that I want to access through the child movies being loaded (loadedA, loadedB). After the files are being loaded I am using ApplicationDomain to let the child movies know where ParentClass lives since they do not get added to the display list until later but they need information that the ParentClass have to work properly and that is why they do have access to it. So like I said, the child movies have access to ParentClass but all the properties return undefined or null. Anyone has any recommendations?

There was a sound setting to select What you hear as an option. - Use Soundflower on the mac - http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/ - Simply run a sound wire from your computer's audio out into the audio in (microphone) jack.

Does leaving the Netstream open for long periods of time will consume a lot of memory? The reason why I am not closing the stream when the video is done playing is because there is some functionality that needs to continue live through the player after the video is done playing.

far
I
havent been able to access it trying different methods. Most times I
get
the
same result:

trace(root);
trace(this.parent);
trace(this);
trace(this.parent.parent);
[object LivePreviewParent]
[object LivePreviewParent]
[object LivePreviewParent]
[object MyComponent]
[object Stage]
But it seems to skip the MainTimeline... basically what I am trying
to
access is the File name which I can extract with Describe type for
the
MainTimeline, and of course this is easy with objects on the
timeline.
I
have an init function in a component that tries to get the reference
to

Good question... If you use the methtod describeType for the main timeline you are able to extract the file name you are working with. //something like this: trace(describeType(root)); type name=Untitled_fla::MainTimeline Now this has to be done on the timeline, once you try to do describeType(root) from within a movieclip (or a component) you will get the following: trace(describeType(root)); type name=flash.display::MovieClip So I am trying to extract the file name by targeting the MainTimeline does that makes sense?

Re: [Flashcoders] Access MainTimeline reference from within a component
It could be.. the only reason for trying to do this is to create a very smart component, thus being able to pick up the file name would have been of a great help for it. But again it seems almost hard to get it if you are trying from somewhere else that is not strictly the timeline. BTW the component is added to the stage and it has visuals so it is not a component that runs in its own window... Thanks for the help, I will continue trying to find other ways to go about it...

Re: [Flashcoders] how many coders here actually have a degree related to computer science?
I've been a hiring manager for companies such as Sony and Disney, and the first thing I look at is experience, then a degree--any degree. Though a degree in a relevant field is nice, the fact that you have a degree shows that you're motivated, and can stick with something and see it through to the end. I partially agree with this point. There are many factors and circumstances that can push some one toward not acquiring a degree while building a career. While this may not be all the time if you notice some older people (by that I mean 60+) never had a formal education, yet their drive allowed them to make a name for themselves. Let me give you an illustration so that I can make my point clear in case my words are not able to explain precisely what I am talking about. I know some one that had it made one day his parents flew overseas for vacation and during the trip they died. He had a choice, stay in school or take a job and help his brothers to finish their school. He gave up school and all his brothers and sisters graduated from college, yet he did not finish school. Today he is the owner of his own company and you may never see him come over to your desk to ask you for a job.

Assuming that modifying the custom application is not possible, but that

In order to get it working, you have to make sure that you have just one of
these proxies, so you could use a singleton. Really, that's like using a
global object, but nevertheless a bit more clean than a plain old enter
frame to check whether a propertie is defined, IMHO.
In code, it could be something like this:
(I'm using GDispatcher, and I'd advise you to use it as well as it has more
features than the mx.events.EventDispatcher class, but if you want to go
with the mx class, just change the function declarations accordingly, and
adjust the parameters in addEventListener when registering for some event)
import com.gskinner.events.GDispatcher;
class EventManagerProxy {

evtMgrProxy.addEventListener(EventManagerProxy.STUB_LOADED,this,handleStubLoaded);
code.customApplication.load(mySWF.swf, myClip_mc);

var evtMgrProxy:EventManagerProxy = EventManagerProxy.getInstance();

now the custom application does not dispatch any events such as
onComplete,
this wasnt built in the original application so what I want to do is
dispatch an event from mySWF.swf but of course when it is loaded into
myClip_mc the ability to add the event listeners is not there since they
are
not part of myClip_mc but of mySWF.swf.
Is there anyway to go around it? I know one way to do it is to have an
onEnterFrame checking for one of the properties of mySWF.swf once is
loaded

Exactly, and that is why I wasn't able to trigger events from the Movie that

would require less code and would provide the same result. Although the

seem a lot in one post but its not that much if you take away the

Wow. That's a crazy amount of code for something so simple.
Here's what I use:
---
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class net.stevensacks.utils.ObservableClip extends MovieClip
{
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
private var dispatchEvent:Function;
function ObservableClip()
{
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
}
}

Just have your MovieClip classes extend ObservableClip instead of
MovieClip
and you can addEventListener and dispatchEvent simply and easily.

If you are loosing reference to the stage you can just pass it as a
parameter to the new object you are instatiating. You can also set it as a
variable that all objects have access. Singleton could be a good idea.

Hi Joe, I dont have experience with the limelight server but it seems to me that there is an error in your current set up since you say that you have done this before and never run into this issue. If you test one of your older projects, do you run into the same issue? If you don't then i would compare an old project with this one and see where the failure is. my 2c.

I'm using an AS2 class I've used many times before to stream the FLVs off this same server and have never run into this problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] Modifying movieclip property kills tween
You are allowed to change the properties of an object but if you want to
change the properties of an object that is animated on the timeline you have
to have a wrapper so that the effects applied to the wrapper are being
passed down to its children.
Now you can change the properties during playtime using code.. try something
like this:
square.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrame);
function enterFrame ( e : Event ) {
square.x += 1;
}
square2.addEventListener ( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown );
function mouseDown ( e : MouseEvent ) {
square.y = 40;
square.alpha = 0.4;
}
you will notice that the square will continue to move accross the screen
and at the same time change its y property and alpha.

Hmm, this doesn't make sense. The property of an object should be allowed
to change since it's not changed during an actual tween. Also, the property
involved is not what's being tweened, so why would it nullify a tween done
on it at a different time?

This is the proper behavior since you are overriding the properties of the
object itself. Such as if you were overriding the x, y, scale properties.
You can wrap the object into a container and edit the properties of the
container that then will be reflected into its child, in this case the
box.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: Video player scrubber doesnt work until reload?
I havent seen your code but for what you are describing the scrubber wont
work because it doesnt have the information it needs in the initial load to
scrub, that is why when you reload the page it works. You need to edit your
code so that the scrubbing works in the initial load only in the section
that it has been loaded so if 10% is loaded the scrub will only work in that
10% area and so forth. Unless you have access to a streaming server that
will allow you to scrub in real time by loading content as needed (as seen
in YT and such).

Re: [Flashcoders] Random numbers list
No, that is not the only way you can target a path in the MAC. for example I
different projects some require to distribute the PPV classes with the
project so i add the classes inside the same folder I am working on.
/Application.as
/src/
/src/ppvclasses
Then in my application I just do:
import org.papervision3d.cameras.FreeCamera3D
But if I am just testing it doesnt matter where the classes are as long as I
target the class path properly.
If you are still having issues I would recommend to read the following

Hi Helmut,
It seems, that objects loaded through an .swf from an different domain,

I assume you have checked all the cross domain policies and you are able to
communicate between your SWFs from different domains
What i meant, was: the function i posted, generates an simple navigation
using an class loaded from an .swf (different domain) through the
Bulkloader
(which essentially does the same what the Loader class does, with some nice
extras)
var nav_item : MovieClip = new navItem as MovieClip;
I am familiar with BulkLoader and you can cast the elements loaded to
something different than a Movieclip if you need to.
This casts the class loaded from that .swf as MovieClip, and it seems to be
the problem,
what i don't understand is, i actually don't add the event listener to this
objects, but to the
holder containing it, hence it still should fire the event, but it does not
:|
navItem = assets.loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(navItem) as
Class;
picThumb = assets.loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(picThumb) as
Class;
Have you checked your NavItem to make sure it works properly by itself
before loading it between SWFs?
here i initialize the loaded .swf's symbols from the library as Class,
maybe my
approach is simply wrong,
Any tips on that?
Sometimes it is hard to see the whole picture by getting code from here and
there and since I haven't run into this specific error not sure what else
could it be. The logic behind it seems to me like it should work but maybe
you are not instantiating the NavItem class when it is loaded or something
else.
I hope you can get more ideas from the list

Re: [Flashcoders] mouseEnabled issue
for (var i : int = 0;i navHolder.numChildren;i++) {
var mc : Object ;
mc = navHolder.getChildAt(i);
if (mc != itemClicked ) {
mc.mouseEnabled = false;
}
}
Also it is a good idea to share what the compile error is, that will help us
out to identify exactly what the issue is. :)

Hi,
You may need to cast your object as I think you get a DisplayObject back

if(tmp !(tmp == itemClicked)) {
Tweener.addTween(tmp, {alpha:0, time:.5});

Hi Everyone, once again
I run into another [probably very easy to solve] issue with my code:
Through an simple for loop, i fade out all items inside an holder,
leaving only one that was clicked, here you can see the loop doing it:
for (var i : int = 0;i navHolder.numChildren;i++) {
if(!(navHolder.getChildAt(i) == itemClicked)) {
Tweener.addTween(navHolder.getChildAt(i), {alpha:0, time:.5});
navHolder.getChildAt(i).mouseEnabled = false; // not working -
gives me an compile error
}
}
this does what it's suppose to do, but i want to prevent items that are
fade away
from dispatching any mouse events, i thought, that adding this line would
solve it,
but now i got an compile error with an info that i try to access an
possibly not
existent property :|
navHolder.getChildAt(i).mouseEnabled = false;
I don't know if my approach is right here, but i thought, that accessing
children properties would be possible this way, obviously i'm wrong, has
anyone got
an tip or an solution for me?
Thank you in advance!

Re: [Flashcoders] You cannot debug this SWF because it does not contain any Actionscript
If I was in your case (and as you commented the debugger is the one that prompts you for the error) I would delete the library items in chucks of say 50 or even 100, then debug, if he debugger doesn't say that it cant compile the movie because you dont have AS in it, then you move to the next set. and so forth.

Not too long ago, my team inherited a Flash 8 file with a corrupted library item that was so terribly corrupted, the Flash 8 file would only open in Flash CS3 on an old G4 Mac running OSX Jaguar. Yes, it was that specific (We assumed that the original file was probably built on that system spec). It would not open in Windows Flash 8 or CS3, it would not open on any Mac Flash 8 or CS3 running a version of OSX higher than Jaguar. What we had to (and you have to) do is go through your library symbols one by one, deleting each one until you find the sucker, and then replacing it if need be. Thankfully, you can open your file directly. We had to open the file in Flash CS3 (which is bloated and slow) on that slow old Mac with 256MB RAM, delete a symbol, save as a new Flash file, copy said file to the network drive, and try to open it from another computer, rinse repeat, until we found the graphic that was causing it.

Say you have html -loaderFileSWF -sub1 ---sub2 sub3 /MyFileGoesHere.SWF if loaderFileSWF loads MyFileGoesHere.SWF is there anway to know the path of /sub1/sub2/sub2/MyFileGoesHere.SWF? as you know if I try to get the URL or loaderURL i will get the path to the file that loaded the MyFileGoesHere but not the path to the file itself.

Re: [Flashcoders] Understanding Error 2036
hmm yeah, not on my machine, and I have the flash 9 debug player. I also saw the Adobe article to fix it if the log file isn't being created, You can also just create the folder and an empty file flashlog.txt and that should fix the issue. but I'm not going to mess with all that on my system to test Helmut's example. Let us know what you find out. No problem, thanks for trying though. Is there a reason you need to use the log file instead of the IDE debugger messages? Most of the stuff I work on ends up on the web or uses some type of server side communication where I can only test on a server. In those cases I can still catch some trace statements from the browser by looking at the flashlog file and see where the application needs some adjustment or if everything has been successful. ...helmut ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] Understanding Error 2036
Hi All, I am trying to understand Error 2036 [IOErrorEvent type=ioError bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed. URL: file:url] When I test in Flash IDE I am able to see the error noted above in the Flash Log but it does not show in the Tracer panel and I was wondering if anyone knows why. I know the files are loading because the application depend on the files. So I am able to interact with the application and everything works as expected. Yet when I run the applicatin then close the preview window. I get the error listed for every file I loaded into the app. Does anyone has any insight of why this is happening? Needless to say I am able to catch the error and I just just do a blank trace -trace()- which works but I am still wondering why this error gets triggered even after the file has been loaded.

Re: [Flashcoders] Understanding Error 2036
I think I would have never noticed it (and a lot of people do not see it) if I didn't use the flashlog.txt as my debug system. Basically instead of using the Flash IDE output window I use a program that shows me the contents of flashlog.txt and that is when I see the issue. I wouldn't mind at all (and I don't) when I am only loading a few files but at times I am loading several items and I get a long row of errors that cover all the real items that I care about. Besides, in the back of my mind I know they are there! :) On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 3:55 PM, Merrill, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would say if it's not an error that the Flash IDE is messaging you about, or the Flash 9 debug player, then I wouldn't worry about it.

1. Copy and paste the code below to a blank FLA and run it (NOTICE: You have
to provide a file to load and it can be a simple png)2. You should see a
trace statement FILE LOADED
3. Close the window
4. Nothing appears on the trace window
5. Open flashlog.txt on your system
6. You should see the very last line of text something similar to the
following:

Re: [Flashcoders] API Interface in SWC...
Juan,
Thanks for your comments and for sharing with us your approach.
I am doing almost the same thing, the only difference is that the user
should be able to access the methods with just one call without having to
instantiate or call any classes.
BaseClass.methodCall();
That's it, nothing else. The reasons behind it are
* We have all the flexibility, the user doesn't care when we make changes to
the API neither has to download new classes or update the methods they are
using.
* The SWC has to be as lean as possible, only listing the static methods to
be used and that is it. I am looking at about 500 bytes for the class plus
SWC = 4k
* The user doesnt have to remember to import classes or classes names, just
one quick SWC install and be done
* The calls can be done from anywhere without having scope issues
I am doing some unit tests and so far the dispatch event method seems to
provide all the items we need in order for it to work.
Thanks again for your comments, they have helped me out to see we are in the
right track

Once I did something similar, except we were not using SWC's but SWF's, and
it was a Flash project (not flex).
We gave a third party agency the url to an swf that they would load at
runtime. That swf contained some library of classes, but there was just one
base class that they had to use directly (the rest were for internal use of
the library). They would create an instance of the class using the
getDefinition() method.
On their side, that class instance was typed as an interface to our main
class. So, in the end, we handed them an interface that covered all the
public methods in the main class (so they could compile in strict mode
without errors), and an extra class where we put all the public event
constants. It worked out fine.

I am creating a SWC file that will be given to the client with the basic
API
that they can use to reference to the main application.
It all makes sense in my mind and in writing (create the methods that
delegate to the main application).
I have a basic format working but in order for it to work I have to
include
the classes that will handle all the process and that is what I am trying
to
avoid since we want full control of the base methods used within the
application.
For example:
API:
sumTwoNumbers(numA, numB) {
baseApp.sumTwoNumbers(numA,numB)
}
but in order for this to work i need to import baseApp class or else i
will
get compile errors. My second option would be to dispatch events when
necessary:
sumTwoNumbers(numA, numB){
dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent ( CustomEvent.sumTwoNumbers, numA, numB))
}
But i am not sure if this is the appropriate approach. Could some one
that
has dealt with similar situations share some wisdom here?

[Flashcoders] Dispatch Event works only with SetTimeout
Hi all,
I have an issue trying to dispatch a simple event. dispatchEvent(new
Event(ClassName.EVENT_NAME));
for some reason the event is not being triggered -unless- i put a time out
before it...
like so:
setTimeout(doDispatch, 1);
private function doDispatch () : void {
dispatchEvent(new Event(ClassName.EVENT_NAME));
}
Isn't this weird? Is there any reason why this behavior happens?

[Flashcoders] Re: Dispatch Event works only with SetTimeout
I kind of figured out the issue, but would like to get some confirmation...
The issue at hand was that I was adding the listeners almost at the same
time that the application starts... here is one sample:
---MAIN.as
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
public class Main extends Sprite {
public function Main() {
var mm = new MyMessage;
mm.addEventListener(MyMessage.DONE, theComplete);
}
private function theComplete ( e : Event ) {
trace(THE COMPLETE)
}
}
}
-- MYMESSAGE.as
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.utils.*;
public class MyMessage extends EventDispatcher {
public static const DONE : String = complete;
public function MyMessage () {
init();
}
public function init() {
theDispatch();
}
public function theDispatch() {
dispatchEvent( new Event(MyMessage.DONE))
}
}
}
Now if i put a time out, the application is able to register the listeners.
So I must assume there is no way to assign a listener at the same time you
are creating an object. Is that correct?

Re: [Flashcoders] Reading SWF headers with ASP
thanks for your insight Juan. On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 8:34 PM, Juan Pablo Califano [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In native classic ASP (without any extra components installed in the server), I'd say it's almost impossible. Maybe if the swf is uncompressed, you can give it a shot, reading the file with a FileSystemObject -which is meant to read text files- and using some single-byte string encoding and reading the chars values with de asc() function. Ugly, but it should be possible (it's not a peace of cake, though, considering the fact that VBS doesn't even have a syntax for bit shifting, so you'd have to craft some functions for that). But the biggest problem is, most swf's are compressed since version 6, and except the first 8 bytes (signature + version + file_size), the rest of the header itself is deflated (as well as the rest of the file). As far as I know, classic ASP doesn't support deflating natively, so that would be a major problem -- and I'm not sure if there's some work around to that limitations.

I'm setting up something that is more or less a game with levels. Each level has a different set of movieclips as its background graphics and enemies for the level. I store all assets for a single level in an external swf, and using techniques we've talked about before on the list (swc + getDefinitionByName) use these assets once they're loaded in via the swf. The plan was then to dump the assets once the level ends and load a new level's assets. The game is small enough that I can conceivably tolerate all level assets being in memory by the time the game is done. What I need to know is, should I NOT treat the data as if it's unloaded, given FP9+AS3 behavior? Because if the player revisits a level, I would normally reload the asset swf for that level ... now I wonder if that would make a duplicate copy of the assets in memory? There wouldn't be two copies of the swf's contents in memory because they'd have identical class definitions... right... or maybe not? Now I'm leaning towards an architecture that says: First time you play a level, load the assets for it, and keep it around always.
