[Flashcoders] Unwanted Irregular Angles with Graphics.lineTo

[John Giotta]

This is probably a well known issue, but I'm probably out of the loop.

I'm drawing a rather small shape with the draw API, but I'm getting
odd pixel points.
My shape:
(4, 0), (0, 4), (0, 11), (8, 11), (8, 4), (4,0)

Its basically a square with a steeple top. When drawn, the line from
8, 4 to 4,0 actually looks like it starts from 7, 3 giving me a offset
in my angle.

Anyone know why this is?

Yes, Stage.displayState vs StageDisplayState.NORMAL or

compare when full screen is the event for resize is called. Its a

I want to know if its possible from a security/capability stand point

I'm trying to figure out how grab specified regions of a JPEG and draw
a Bitmap from them.
So if the user outlines a rectanglur area of the JPEG at say x=100, y=
35, width=90, height=20; I want to duplicate it into a Bitmap object.

I thought (but obviously wrong) that I use Matrix to translate position.

You can't trigger full screen from outside flash. It can only be

[Flashcoders] Problems with Full Screen

I'm working with a flash video player that is simliar to Youtube's
chromeless video player. However, for some reason I continue to get
SecurityError: Error #2152: Full screen mode is not allowed. even
though allowFullScreen is set to true.

public function interfaceFullScreen ():void
{
if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL) {
trace('normal to full');
stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(videoChild.x,
videoChild.y, videoChild.width, videoChild.height);
try {
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
} catch (e:Error) {
trace(e);
}
} else {
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
}
}

I'm not sure if there is something happening here with the way the SWF
embeds (javascript string to div innerHTML) or if I'm over looking
something.

Re: [Flashcoders] Possible Challenge: AS 3.0 Compiler :)

I think you're all just missing the point.

The challenge does have any rules to what is considered a compiler.
Even if you can just compile a SWF to trace "Hello World" is
ultimately a success.

We've already seen C64 emulator and script to encode PNG files, so why
can't a SWF compiler be created.

Oh and to answer the question of "Why?"... because.

Oh and I'm well aware of the free SDK, thanks.

What I've just done is set the file and path then just lowercased the

Then I just used %ASFILE% in the mxmlc call.

Re: [Flashcoders] part of text is not visible...!

[John Giotta]

The only thing I can ask is if the textfield is wide enough in width
to display all text.

Flash 6 introduced the property TextField.autoSize making it easier to
adjust dynamic textfields width at runtime to compensate for value
text-width.

However, Flash 5, TextField.autoSize did not exist. So Textfields
created via IDE were locked to their predetermined text-width at
author time.

[Flashcoders] Cross Domain and ExternalInterface

[John Giotta]

Let me explain the setup first.
I have a SWF application and the JavaScript file on one domain.
I'm displaying the SWF and loading the JavaScript file on another domain.

The SWF registers callbacks to JavaScript methods, but when I try to
call the ActionScript methods from JavaScript it fails.

I receive a strange error from Firefox:
"Error: uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin
exception: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find
error.]."

I also receive this sandbox security violation:
"*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'http://wiki.domain.com/bin/view/IMDDocs/FLVDevShed'
tried to access incompatible context
'http://cfdev.domain.com/Staff/jgiotta/mgmediaplayer/mgmediaplayer.swf'"

Is there any security issues I need to be aware of in order for this to work?

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: ExteneralInterface and NetStreams

[John Giotta]

The problem was my NetStream declaration was local scope to a method
and for some reason any call I made to the singleton class just killed
the stream be cause the NetStream was trashed early.

I corrected it my making the NetStream object inherit to the singleton
class to keep it around throughout the stream.

[Flashcoders] ExteneralInterface and NetStreams

[John Giotta]

I've been developing a video player that has a built in API to allow
external communication (E.g.; JavaScript to Flash). But I've run into
a strange problem.

I can pass the FLV path to Flash from JavaScript and achieve
communication fine, but if I make any other callbacks to the
ExternalInterface during stream playback the stream abruptly stops.

I get no NetStream status events or NetConnection status events.

[Flashcoders] OS PSP RSS Reader

[John Giotta]

I whipped up a RSS Reader for the PSP Flash Player in just 2 hours.
It's open source so it's free anyone.
One thing I've notice is that the performance for parsing an XML
document is super slow and surprisingly XFactorStudios did the job
quicker with my first integration.

This is actually by first "Mobile" application, it proves very
difficult when you're so use to full player support.

So far RSS 2.0 is only supported.

Thanks elibol, but not it.

You'd have to see it for yourself if I'm not making any sense.

Whenever the ScrollBar of the Datagrid is focused, a light green halo

I can flush data to a SOL, however, the data retention seems to be

Re: [Flashcoders] A Tool to Inject AS to First Frame of SWF

FlashVars is what we're using to set the clickthrough URL, however,
the ads system is predefined to set the variable to clickTAG and some
designers have been referring to the variable as clickTag.

clickTag doesn't equal clickTAG... so I thought I could run an
injection script to just insert a line to correct any variable name
misspellings.

[Flashcoders] A Tool to Inject AS to First Frame of SWF

Hello all,
I'm looking for a tool that can inject a line code to the first frame of a SWF.

Basically, our advertising department gets SWF ads from a 3rd party
designer and a specific _level0 variable needs to be set in order for
the clickthrough to work.

If anyone has a method or tool to do this it would be much appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] don't think this is possible - 100% of variable height table cell

[John Giotta]

That is kind of backwards... if you where just looking to fill a cell
you just set the width to 100%, but you have your reasons.

I suggest using JavaScript to write the Flash element to the cell with
HTMLElement.innerHTML or better yet FlashObject
http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/

However, the trick is knowing the height of cell... I'm not sure if
this is possible at runtime if the property isn't already defined in
the tag.

[Flashcoders] Stream Audio Still Playing in IE

[John Giotta]

I remember this being a problem way back in the day but I thought it
was fixed in a player revision.

I was demoing a Video player to a manager yesterday and when he
clicked the back browser button the audio from the FLV stream was
still being heard. Only after he clicked anywhere else on the page did
it finally cease. He was using IE 6.0 on WinXP Pro SP2.

Has anyone experienced this on the rare occasion.

Re: [Flashcoders] Stage.width not working in IE

[John Giotta]

Perhaps Lanny's suggestion will work, but may not work with a single frame SWF.
The problem resides in how the Flash Player is initiatated on first
render. Basically the ActionScript is being interpreted faster than
the visuals are rendered (which includes the scene).

I've gotten to understand this and I have adopted a way of
initializing all the Stage parameters first then initializing the
elements. And lastly, I actually call the onResize method for good
measure because in some instances first render does not trigger a
resize event.

Hey all,
A few months back I saw a flash blog mentioning a tool that will split
a FLV file into multiple files via command line and "timecode" does
anyone have a link?

Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] EventDispatcher.removeEventListener

[John Giotta]

What I've figured out with removeEventListener and Delegate is you can
remove the listener on dispatchEvent like so:

private function someEventHandler (e:Object) {
var target = e.target;
if (removeHandler) target.removeEventListener("event", 
arguments.caller);
}

Of course this only works after removeHandler is set to true and the
event is dispatched once again. Yet, is some instances its enough.

Re: [Flashcoders] Array Loop for navigation elements

[John Giotta]

Your problem is that the MovieClips don't know what "name_Array[i]" is
meant to be.
The MovieClips only know 'i' to equal 0 and 'name_Array[i]' yeilds 'home'

I suggest add the following line to your loop:
[code]
mypath.id = name_Array[i];
[/code]

and then in the mouse interaction methods change:
[code]
name_Array[i];
[/code]

to:
[code]
this.id;
[/code]

Re: SV: SV: [Flashcoders] Microsoft Sparkle

[John Giotta]

I have to agree with most of what Andreas is saying.
IMO, Microsoft with the help of ex-flash developers and designers knew
that Flash was a very powerful tool if it was slightly pushed in one
direction. The naysayers that Andreas mentioned are or were completely
mistaken about Flash and ActionScript and Microsoft knows it. They
believe that if they clone Flash and back it they will get the
naysayers to ante up, but it will be for M$ pockets.

Re: [Flashcoders] OnLoadStart

[John Giotta]

Well, depending what Patrick is trying to do. onLoadInit would not work.
onLoadInit is fired when the loaded contents first frame is played.
onLoadInit is actually fired after the onLoadComplete event.

onLoadStart is fired right after you call the MovieClipLoader.loadClip() method.

[Flashcoders] Phantoming in List Component

[John Giotta]

I created a custom cell renderer for the List component to allow icons
to be external thumbnails. However, I'm getting some strange
phantoming. Basically, an image will appear at the bottom of the List
that I didn't add from the dataprovider.

private var iconLoader:MovieClipLoader;
private var _tLabel:TextField;
private var _mIcon:MovieClip;
private var iconLoaded:Boolean = false;
private var owner:MovieClip;
private var listOwner;
private var getCellIndex:Function;
private var getDataLabel:Function;
private var _style:TextFormat;
private var _borderMC_:MovieClip;
public function PlayListCellRender() {
iconLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
iconLoader.addListener(this);
createEmptyMovieClip("_borderMC_", 1);
createEmptyMovieClip("_mIcon", 2);
createTextField("_tLabel", 3, 0, 0, 200, 20);
_tLabel.autoSize = "left";
_tLabel.selectable = false;
}
private function onLoadInit (target:MovieClip) {
iconLoaded = true;
_tLabel._x = target._width;
_tLabel.setTextFormat(_style);
_tLabel.setNewTextFormat(_style);
}
public function getPreferredWidth():Number {
return owner.__width;
}
public function getPreferredHeight():Number {
return owner.__height;
}
public function setSize(nWidth:Number, nHeight:Number):Void {}
public function setValue(sLabel:String, oItem:Object, 
sState:String):Void {
_tLabel.text = sLabel;
var nIndex:Number = getCellIndex().itemIndex;
var sIcon:String = 
listOwner.dataProvider.getItemAt(nIndex).icon;
_style = listOwner._getTextFormat();
_style.bold = true;
if (sIcon) {
if (!iconLoaded) iconLoader.loadClip(sIcon, _mIcon);
} else {
_tLabel.setTextFormat(listOwner._getTextFormat());
_tLabel.setNewTextFormat(listOwner._getTextFormat());
}
}
