[Flashcoders] FLAR: accessing the marker rotation properties
Hello, I'm working on a flAR project and I would like to have control over marker's rotation (actually I want the app. to detect the marker, and after that, stop detecting it and the code would tween its rotation properties) I don't need actually to rotate the marker, I could rotate the object that is added to the marker. I could add an object outside of the marker, directly into the display list, but I would then need to get the marker's rotation properties. Does anyone knows how to do it? Does anyone know a good forum focused on Augmented Reality in Flash ? Thanks in advance!

[Flashcoders] building custom libraries and components using FlashDevelop and Flex SDK
Hello, I'm giving a try on FlashDevelop with Flex SDK, and a lot of things are new to me . My study background is on Graphic Design, so I know little about programming. One of the reasons I´m migrating to FD it is that I would like to build my own libraries (menus , slideshows, and other stuff) and gain productivity as well as flexibility. For example I´ve been creating animations and menus for a lot of websites, and so far I´m doing it like this: I use a class I´ve made called SimpleMenu (which I copy, paste and make changes for each project) in the FLA file I have a movieclip (which I also copy, paste and make changes for each project) of a menu Item and sometimes also the menuSubItem, if needed. and in the document class of the main .fla file I write something like that: public var menuWhatever:SimpleMenu = new SimpleMenu; // params: path, xPos, yPos, widthOffset, heightOffset, nColumns menuWhatever.createSimpleMenu(String(menuXMLPath), 5, 143, 16, 5, 8); The point is: I feel that copy and pasting code and MovieClips from other projects is not quite the best practice regarding ActionScript. I believe that I could do this kind of stuff in a more efficient and organized way by building my own components (SWC files? ) and associating them to classes, and so on, but I have many doubts and feel kind of lost and a little overwhelmed. I would like to get some advices and tips on how to build my own libraries and components, taking as start point this way of getting things done that I-ve briefly described... That´s it, thank you in advance! Isaac ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] swf behaving differently in different domain and other issues loading swf
Good morning, I´ve been experiencing some problems with swf files. First one: http://www.swingebalada.com.br/index.php In this website, the logo and menu animations work nice when the home page is loaded (index.php) But in the internal pages (i.e: index.php?cmd=eventos) the animation doesn´t happen. The header swf file doesn´t receive any parameter in the internal pages. What-s going on? Second problem: In this website, the menu works perfectly in the internal server of our network, and in this case, the swf file receives a parameter to highlight the menu item of the page that is currently opened. Unfortunatelly I cannot give you access to it, but I can send the fla and swf file , just in case. But on this page it just doesn´t work: http://clientes.agenciahive.com.br/acoriana/index.php In Firefox, the swf gets loaded but the links doesn´t work, and the animations sometimes stuck. In IE6, the swf doesn´t even get loaded and it throws an error. Thanks a lot !!

[Flashcoders] RE: swf behaving differently in different domain and other issues loading swf (Isaac Alves)
Hi, both problems solved!
The first one was easy, actually there was a conditional that was
stopping the animation whenever the swf file was loaded inside an
internal page, that is, not the home page. ( I didn´t realize it
before cause the code was a bit messy and was made by someone else).
The second problem was tricky. There swf was embedded via jQuery (see
code below) and there were some javascript functions inside the same
file that were stopping the swf file to be loaded inside IE6. So we
had to check the functions one by one to see which ones were stopping
the swf to load.
hope this will help someone else .
Cheers!

hi list, i-m getting completely insane cause of an as3 problem.
i-ve never had this problem before.
in the code below , I try to load 2 XML files.
the first one gets loaded and the loaderCompleteHander function runs
normally after the event completion.
but the loaderCompleteHander2 function doesn´t run at all.
the xml gets loaded, as I-ve checked with the progressListener function.
I-ve tried manythings. for example , removing all code concerning the
first xml to be loaded. or switching both xml files, tried different
codes. I-m getting insane, cause it-s something very basic.
code:
var topURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(topPath);
topLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
loaderCompleteHandler);
topLoader.load(topURLRequest);
var textSlideshowReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(textSlideshowPath);
textSlideshowLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
loaderCompleteHandler2);
textSlideshowLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,

textSlideshowLoader.load(textSlideshowReq);

no RUN.

[Flashcoders] RE: Re: time based smooth animation w/ GTween. HELP! (Jack Doyle)
Hi Jack,
Thank you for the explanations. I've been gradually changing to
TweenLite TweenMax, and so far I'm very happy with it, I've achieved
good results with the filter tween and color matrix. yoyo's really
cool too.
About that other situation, I was trying to have a time-based tween
animation, in order to have a smoother animation . I guess I
misunderstood the renderTime method. I wanted the flash player to
render the tween each 10ms. (cause with a 30fps frame rate, it would
render each 33ms, right? ) just to see what happened... the default
timing mode is frame based, right ?
cheers!
Hey Isaac. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the
renderTime(10)? Your example tween was only 1 second long, so where does the
10 come from? If you want to skip to a certain time in a TweenMax tween,
make sure you're using the latest v11 (http://blog.greensock.com/v11beta/)
and just set the currentTime property like myTween.currentTime = 10 would
make it go to the 10-second point. Or use the currentProgress property
(always between 0 and 1 where 0.5 is halfway finished) like
myTween.currentProgress = 0.5. Don’t use renderTime() - use the currentTime,
currentProgress, totalTime, or totalProgress getters/setters. The
convenience of these getters/setters is that they can easily be tweened for
advanced effects.
And there's an easier way to accomplish your repeatReverse() functionality.
Just use the yoyo and repeat features like:
var plantaTween:TweenMax = new TweenMax(planta, 1, {y:414, repeat:1,
yoyo:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut});
That'll repeat it once and since yoyo is true, it'll play forward the first
time through and backwards the second time through.
Full ASDoc documentation is at http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/tween/
Again, make sure you've got v11: http://blog.greensock.com/v11beta/. Feel
free to use the forums at http://forums.greensock.com for these types of
questions. I try to be pretty active in responding there.
Jack
PS For the record, TweenLite/Max does NOT use a Timer to drive updates. It's
ENTER_FRAME driven which is generally optimal for many reasons (I won't bore
you with an explanation here). You can have any tween base its timing on
frames instead of time if you prefer (new in v11) by setting useFrames:true.

[Flashcoders] RE: retreieving a node that contains a specific attribute from an XML list
Hi,
thank you all.
I've managed to do it like this, based on what Cor wrote me:
function clickItemTitle(e:Event):void {
_link = String(e.target.frameLink);
var node:int;
for (var i:Number = 0; i conteudo.length(); i++)
{
if (conteudo[...@id == _link)
{
node = i;
}
}
trace (node: + node);
then I just use conteudo[node] to access the content.
I was trying to do that without using a for loop , but maybe it
wouldn't be possible. anyway I believe there's no need to avoid a loop
here, even if there's 1200 nodes in my XML, right?
Allandt, I actually didn't understand the use of toXMLString(), at
least in this situation..
cheers!

Hello!
I would like to create a time based and very smooth animation with

But I´m used to GTween , though.
here is my code:
var plantaTween = new GTween(planta, 1.5, {y: 414}, {delay: 0.8,
reversed: true, reflect: true, repeat: 999, ease:Quartic.easeInOut});

somewhere else but i can-t quite understand it ..
GTween.timingMode = GTween.TIME;
at http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2008/08/gtween_a_new_tw.html
should I use:
plantaTween.timingMode = GTween.TIME;
or:
GTween.timingMode = GTween.TIME; ?
What does the latter exactly means? it doesn´t do nothing. maybe cause
the default timeInterval property is 25ms. how do i set it ?
the first one throws a reference error Error #1056:
and i-ve seen this also at the documentation
http://www.gskinner.com/libraries/gtween/docs/

[Flashcoders] Re: a function tells to move to a frame and then update content in that frame
HEy Jason, don't worry, that's not a porno web site.
tit is for title ..:D
if that's not the answer you were expecting, it is not a website, it
is a powerpoint-like-presentation to be run off-line, with a whole
bunch of an endless content (that is, a terrible nightmare), that i
have to pick from .doc files.
so everything is in an xml file, and this function puts the content of
a specific element in the content.xml file and organizes it all on the
display list.
that was the only way i found to do this kind of job, otherwise (if i
put content directly into the .fla file) the flash application gets
extremelly lagged and thus impossible to work, which was making me
completely insane .
so... that's i'mtrying to build this function that tells a certain
moviecli'p to go to a specific frame and then update content in that
frame, like searching text in an xml file and putting in the textfield
on that frame.
i'll have to do that because this updateContent function won't fit in
some specific frames of the presentation

I believe that happens because it tries to update container._tit
before render the screen, so it will be still in frame 1. It goes to
frame 2 but doesn't update the _tit textfield.
I've tried to solve it this way: instead of using gotoAndStop(2) i've
called another functiion with that statement and updateAfterEvent();
but it seems that it is not a method of the Event class.
Any solution ??
thanks in advance!!
function updateContent(e:Event):void {
gotoAndStop(2);
link = String(e.target.frameLink);
counter = 0;
if (content[link].tit != undefined)
{
container._tit.text = content[link].tit;
counter ++;
}
else
{
container._tit.text = ;
}
etc...

[Flashcoders] help with frame navigation and xml
Hi, I'd like to have a function that tells a MovieClip to go to a specific frame and then in this frame, look for a scpecific tag in an XML file, based on the frame's label, and then take some text (a bunch of actually) that is in the XML node and put it on a TextField. For example, clicking on a Next Frame button it will go to the next frame (which has a label intro) of the movieclip and then search content.xml for the tag that contains the attribute name equal to intro and then put the content of the @text node into an empty TextField that is already positioned in this intro frame. Am I obligated to have the code in this specfic frame? I'm doing it because if I have too much text within textfields in an FLA file it becomes incredibly lagged and therefore impossible to work. I've tried to use the event ENTER.FRAME to do that but it rendered the SWF lagged and consomming way too much memory... Help !! Thanks in advance!!

[Flashcoders] buttons not able to control movieclip's timeline
i have 2 buttons (prev and next) that should control the timeline of a
moviclip called container
but it just doesn't work. at first it moves to the second frame on this
movieclip then the container shows always the same content ( it has
different content for each frame), the content of the second frame.
though , the output panel shows:
prev. cf: 2
next. cf: 1
function btnContainerClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
if (e.target.name == btn_prev)
trace (prev. cf: + container.currentFrame);
//container.gotoAndStop(container.currentFrame - 1);
container.prevFrame();
//container.gotoAndStop(2);
if (e.target.name == btn_next)
trace (next. cf: + container.currentFrame);
//container.gotoAndStop(container.currentFrame + 1);
container.nextFrame();
//container.gotoAndStop(5);
}
i get absolutely no clue of what's going on and i'm getting nuts.
i really appreciate any help. thanks a lot.

[Flashcoders] manage conent of multiple frames with a single framescript
I would lke to know if I can manage the content of multiple frames without
having to create a script for each frame.
project:
This is part of a type of powerpoint style presentation in flash. another
time I'll certainly try to do it by loading everything in the XML, and no
frame Nav. then the listener should not only tween the textfields and
movieclips, but also get the values of these objects by xml.
a mouse click calls a function that fades out a textfield in a frame, go to
another frame and fades in the textfield that is in that frame.
Code:
function changeFrame(e):void
{
if (_txt){
new GTween(_txt, 0.3 ,{alpha:0});
}
var timer:Timer = new Timer(300, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, function(){
e.target.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateFrame);
gotoAndStop(e.target.frameLink);
});
timer.start();
}
function updateFrame(e:Event):void
{
if (_txt){
_txt.alpha =0;
new GTween(_txt, fadeDuration ,{alpha:1});
}
e.target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateFrame);
timer.reset();
}
problem:
when it changes frame, the actual movieclip or textfield will be there with
alpha 1. so it blinks, between the two alpha animations.
conditions:
the fade should function with many movieclips, some of which won't exist in
every frame, that's why the verification ( if (!_txt)... ) But for the
moment I'm doing it like this.
I surely don't want to write scripts in every frame, so that's the reason I
wrote the code like this.
And anyway, I somehow feel that I shouldn't do it that way. What do you
people think about it ?
Thanks in advance !

[Flashcoders] problem with a 2 level menu
Hello ! I'm trying to build a 2 level menu, and its submenus are quite big,
they contain a lot of sub-items.
I'm trying to find a simple way to do it (actually I just want that it work)
, but I'm having lots of problems.
As you will be able to see in the code below, I'm placing the dynamically
created subMenu mc inside the menuItem mc.
Each aba mc should get their width and height according to the w and h of
the subMenu it contains.
i've erased the biggest part of the code so I can concentrate in this
problem.
you can see it here: http://iialves.com/apres/
here is the code:
var xmlPath:String = menu.xml;

[Flashcoders] Re: Flashcoders Digest, Vol 22, Issue 26
Actually this is no lockroot problem, like I thought it was for a moment.
A friend told me it might be that but after a little thinking its clear that
it isn´t . cause this gets the same movieclip. it is then really weird
for me why does it returns different number of children
ok
i´ve solved the problem.
this function was called by the top.swf timeline as: infoBox.intro();
when running top.swf ok. but when running preloader.swf that will load
top.swf, it didn´t work.
What is the problem in calling a function (from main time line of swf Y)
that is in a movieclipZ ( that´s inside the maintime line of Y), and then
have a swf X loading the swf Y??
Thanks!
Hi fellows, I´m having a weird problem here:
This code is inside the movieclip Info_1, which is a child of the stage
in
top.swf.
function intro():void{
trace (this: + this);
trace (thischldren: + this.numChildren);
trace (child 0: + this.getChildAt(0));
trace (child 0name: + this.getChildAt(0).name);
(...)
and i-m using is a preloader.swf that loads top.swf.
when running top.swf it traces:
this: [object Info_1]
thischldren: 9
child 0: [object MovieClip]
child 0name: faixa
12988
when running preloader.swf it traces:
this: [object Info_1]
thischldren: 1
child 0: [object Shape]
child 0name: instance6
18669
as you can see, the object faixa as well as many others are unacessible
when I execute preloader.swf.
any clue why that happens ??
thanks !!

[Flashcoders] Error #1009 shows randomly
Hello fellows, I've bought at Flash Den a code of an Infinite Level Menu (from MBMedia) and I'm pulling my hair out. It throws that well known error as the text of the button doesn't show when it should: “TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at local.display:rimaryButton/frame7()” That without touching the code or elements on the stage. Actually, if inside the main.fla file, I go inside the Expanding Menu and then inside the Primary Button MovieClip and select the text field and at that point I test the movie, it works correctly. As long as I leave the Primary Button movieclip and test the movie, it throws that error again! Obs: It is not actually randomly that it throws that error. I've tried a thousand times to test the movie within a certain state , that means,foe example, when I'm iinside a certain movieclip with the textfield selected. and in that specific situation it always throws (or not) the error. You know, I select a movieclip , test Movie and it works. I deselect it, test movie and it doesn't . Its seems like a bug... that's very bizarre. Please help !!!

element right? for ex: 0, 1, 2 or 3.
If i do this, it will trace the correct name of the element.
function buttonClicked(e:Event):void {
trace (e.target.name);
If I do this, it will trace the name of the second element:
function buttonClicked(e:Event):void {
trace (buttonsArray[1].name);
Why indexOf doesn´t work properly?
Thanks a lot!

[Flashcoders] Re: Loading images at the same time, bugs in Flash AS3 (Anthony Pace)
I couldn't send the .rar file with the code to the list...so I'm sending just the text this time!Thanks in advance, Isaac 2009/6/4 Isaac Alves isaacal...@gmail.com Thanks Anthony and Jordan for your responses, I´ll send you the files so you can look around if you have the time. I´ve reorganized the loading objects so they load now in queue. The small thumbs, the big ones , then the full images. But eventually the user will click in a thumbnail in order to load an image that it´s not yet loaded, so at this moment I believe that it will be forced to load 2 images at the same time ( and even a lot, if an user decides to click in many thumbs in a row, especially with a slow internet connection !) I´d like to know also how could I do the housekeeping , after loading the images... I´ve tried to set some variables to null but it doesn´t work... and I´ve tried not to forget to remove the unnecessary listeners. So, again , thanks a lot !

[Flashcoders] Loading images at the same time, bugs in Flash AS3
Hello fellowcoders, I've been experiencing some problems with an application I've made with AS3. It consists of an image gallery which loads images dynamically from an XML file. Maybe you'd want to skip my explanations and go directly to the problem in the bottom of this message. Since it's my first experience with AS3 - apart from doing some basic AS3 tutorials and other not so simple but still very simple stuff with AS2 a couple of years ago - it is absolutely not written in the simplest and more effective manner. For example, I've changed the code lots of times. For example, redefining the way the images were loaded. At the beginning they were loaded by clicking on the thumbnails. So if I clicked on the thumb of an image that were already loaded, it would load it again. Now it works like that: There are 3 arrays of images (for the thumbnails, big thumbnails and full images). So these three sequences of images start loading at the same time, and placing the images as elements in the arrays in order to be more easily handled (to my point of view). Naturally the thumbnails finish loading first. If I click on a thumbnail whose corresponding image is not yet loaded, It starts loading it. And then when the function that keeps running to load all the full images gets to it, it skips it. There are lots of other things I could have done better for example, placing many of the elements inside of a movieclip, for example a bar which would contain all the elements of the thumbnail mechanismus ( containers, masks, buttons). I've tried that but it was maybe too late, for it was difficult cause I had many references to those elements with in the code. There's no document class, and 80% of the code is written in one frame. Actually I don't know how I could write this whole thing using different class files, for example, cause it would have many cross-references, etc. But I would like to know how to do it! So the main problems are the following: 1. Sometimes (randomly) the array ot thumbnails stop loading. It gets stuck in a certain thumbnail, showing the preloader movieclip forever. 2. Another problem is that the browser's window simply closes itself by clicking on an item in the menu, that happend in Safari and Firefox. 3. Another problems occur with the menu (the icon moves up and not the square behind it, or the whole thing gets stuck. Any help will be appreciated ! You can check it out on this link: http://iialves.com/hive/ I've probably put this version one week ago, so I've been unpdating it since then. But it remais something very close to that. Now I should go cause I'm late to work. Thanks a lot! Isaac ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] problem with simple preloading, nothing appears on screen
Thanks Juan Pablo and Steven for the solution, it was very helpful!
I'm struggling now with a weird problem:
I've put an animation on frame 1 that keeps running in loop until the whole
SWF file is loaded and the player moves to frame 2. Here is the code:
trace ( hello );
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(event:Event) {
var bytestotal=stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
var bytesloaded=stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
trace(Math.round(bytesloaded*100/bytestotal)+%);
if (bytesloaded=bytestotal) {
removeChild(loaderAnimation);
gotoAndStop(2);
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
}
}
stop();
When I simulate download and play the program, the screen remains blank for
some seconds, even though the file is already loading:
The loading animation only appears on the screen (as well as the word
hello is traced) when the file it's about 70% loaded, and then I see the
percentage moving up in the Output panel.
Why does it happens? The size of the file is 80kb. I've already tried
putting this code into a different scene in the same swf file but the same
thing happens. Someone has a clue?
thanks a lot!
Isaac

[Flashcoders] calling an event function with a parameter that is a number
Hello!
In my code there's a function that shows an image on the screen (or load the
image and show a progress bar) that is called by clicking on a thumbnail,
and uses a parameter [e.target.name] refering to the property name of the
thumbnail clicked, which is an integer. The thumbnails are placed inside the
cointaner_mc MovieClip.
container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb);
function clickThumb(e:MouseEvent):void{
if (my_full_images[e.target.name] == undefined){
var full_url = my_images[e.target.nam...@full;
etc...
but I want to call this function by clicking on a button, which would need
to pass another type of parameter, in this case, a variable which refers to
the number of the image displayed on the screen plus one.
I tried this:
clickThumb(image_num + 1)
But it doesn't work, I get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type
flash.events:MouseEvent.
How could I call the function clickThumb and make it use image_num + 1
instead of e.target.name ?
Could I dispatch the event (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb), passing this
value image_num + 1 ?
Thanks in advance !!
Isaac
