[Flashcoders] AS2Doc not working - no reponse from Mirell

2007-09-04 Thread Mike Lyda

I still have to create documentation for the Flash IDE from ActionScript 2
classes and have been using AS2Doc from Mirell without a problem.  However it's
quit working and gives this error when I attempt to Generate docs:

[ERROR]: Error transforming XSL.
File: C:\Program Files\Mirell\AS2Doc\styles\as2doc\flash\mx2004\\MXI/index.xsl
Namespace 'urn:http://www.as2doc.com/as2doc' does not contain any functions

and my requests for help to the main AS2Doc address bounced back as
undeliverable and e-mails to Mirell have gone unanswered.  
AS2Doc is an old product, but it is still being sold (
http://www.as2doc.com/index.php?p=13 )

Re: [Flashcoders] Tips and advice for online bugtracking

2007-07-10 Thread Mike Lyda

another option..   flashtracer for firefox (from Alessandro Crugnola)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3469
you need the flash player debug version installed, but flashtracer can be very
handy and entertaining.. (browse the web and see what others are tracing out of
their SWFs..)

[Flashcoders] F8 AS2 component in livepreview going invisible

2007-07-09 Thread Mike Lyda
I have a component I've created that will disappear when clicked in
livepreview.  If I click it again it appears and will remain visible even after
clicking on other objects on stage.  I have the standard set of functions in
the component class (based on Joey Lott's tute here
http://www.person13.com/articles/components/creatingcomponents.html) and it
works fine with the exception of having to click it twice instead of once.

I've put traces in all of the functions and see the correct ones getting called
when I click on it the first time (and it goes invisible).  The strange thing
is clicking it the second time yields NO traces at all.. none of my code is
called and yet the component displays.

This is ActionScript 2..  Flash 8 IDE..

Re: [Flashcoders] load image in livepreview?

2007-06-26 Thread Mike Lyda

Sorry..  AS2, loading from external file

--- John Grden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 when you say load are you talking externally?  or embedded in the
 component swc?  are we talking AS3? is this a new FLA based component for
 AS3 or swc?
 
 AS3 wraps the component at designtime with a livePreviewParent class and
 it's running a swf essentially.  So, you should be able to load an external
 file without a problem.  I'm building a component right now thats loading
 XML and multiple images at design time in the IDE without any problem
 without any special tricks.  Although, i will say, you have to use an
 absolute path - relative won't work from where the FLA is saved if that's
 what you're assuming.

Re: [Flashcoders] load image in livepreview? [solution]

2007-06-26 Thread Mike Lyda

the hint from John Grden was good..  the path to the external file has to be
absolute to load the image in during livepreview.

[Flashcoders] flash 8 components from scratch?

2006-12-13 Thread Mike Lyda
I'm relearning components and came across a somewhat recent thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com/msg21869.html
that lead me to this statement regarding xch from Eric D.. 
 What do I need to put in my component class to allow updates on the Stage
of the component instance to update? I've tried a couple things,even using the
old xch. stuff
see in context here: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com/msg21877.html

and I've seen a couple of places that Flash 8 was supposed to streamline the
live preview of components but I'm not finding much that shows how this takes
place.

I would rather not use all the pre-built v2 component architecture and it
seems that all of the documentation assumes that you're going to extend
UIObject, extend Button, etc..I used to make simple components with live
preview using xch and it looks like I still can, but if there's a newer and
better alternative out there then I'd like to hear about it.

Re: [Flashcoders] flash 8 components from scratch?

2006-12-13 Thread Mike Lyda

k.. what you said jives with other things that I've been reading, but I can't
get it to work and it doesn't match up to what I'm finding in the docs or the
IDE settings.

In Component DefinitionLive Preview there's No live preview, Live Preview
in external .swf file, and Live Preview with .swf file embedded in .fla
file.  There's nothing for use this symbol for Live Preview as well.  

I have my FLA with symbol in it (the symbol I want to be my component), I point
it to my class that contains my [Inspectable] code and I set the symbol to No
live preview then convert it to a compiled clip (or a SWC) -- I don't get a
live preview when it's dropped on the stage.

If I use an external SWF for live preview and use xch then it all works.. I get
live preview and parameters entered into the component inspector are updated on
the live preview.  But it's extra code to maintain, etc.

Is there an example of this somewhere?  All I can find are old tutorials
showing how to build components for MX and MX04.. which use separate live
preview SWFs and xch to exchange data with the component inspector.


--- Derek Vadneau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 You get live preview for free when you set your Library item as a 
 component and point it to the AS2 class for that component.
 
 However, you won't actually see the live preview in your FLA until you 
 compile the SWF (right-click option in the Library panel), or you create 
 the SWC and add it to an FLA.
 
 You also get _global.isLivePreview, which is a variable you can use in 
 your layout methods to determine if you're running in LivePreview mode or 
 not.
 
 The only problem I've had with this method is when I've used arrays or 
 objects for parameters that should appear in the Properties panel. The 
 value would not be set as an array or object.

[Flashcoders] detect request from Flash Player?

2006-06-19 Thread Mike Lyda
I can use PHP  (  echo($_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT]);  ) to detect a request
from the Flash IDE or from Central.  Both show a user agent of Shockwave
Flash.  However, when I open a standard Flash SWF in the web browser either
embedded in an HTML page or just opening the SWF directly in the browser PHP
sees the user agent as the browser.

So is there a way to tell if a request to the server is coming from the Flash 
Player?

I have a ByteArray that I can't seem to get a decent output from.. 

I've tried writing out to a textField like so 
res.text += \n myByteArray =  + myByteArray.toString();
and quite a few other things that I thought would give me a decent output, but
nothing seems to be working.  myByteArray has a valid length.. but I can't seem

[Flashcoders] unicode escaped via JavaScript - display in Flash

anyone know how to display a unicode (japanese characters) string that has been
escaped via JavaScript and sent into the SWF via SetVariable?  unescape() works
just dandy for the English text, but the JP text just comes out as
#65533;92ª#65533;1A¹#65533;9202C6#65533; (boxes, garbage).  I could swear
I've done this before long ago but can't find the trick.

I know about the Flash Integration kit and the External Interface... I'm tasked
with finding out specifically if things such as TCallLabel have changed at all
from Flash Player 5 through 8.  According to that doc nothing has changed, and
I can't seem to find another doc that replaces it.

Re: [Flashcoders] ****************** Unicode Input ***************************

2005-12-15 Thread Mike Lyda

umm..  it kind of sounds like you want Flash to automatically map the
characters to the keypress?  i.e. if someone with an English keyboard/system,
types into your input field the characters will show up as Chinese?

...  it might be possible to have them actually typing into an offscreen/hidden
input box, capture keypresses, do key mapping based on a table, and then insert
the corresponding Chinese character into the (visible) input box...  that might
work as long as they're using an English keyboard.. 

--- Devendran I [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Hi all,

   We can Display Unicode Characters in dynamic and Input text field. Is it
 possible to get unicodeInput in a input text?

   Consider this. You are having One input text box. By selecting a language,
 your Key press should be displayed as choosen language(in input text).

   If u select Chinese Langugae. When you type it should be chinese
   If u select Hindi Language. when you type it should be Hindi .

   All these should happen in single text field.(And have to controll with

[Flashcoders] load assets from memory stream?

2005-10-26 Thread Mike Lyda
ok, this is way off the beaten path, but does anyone know of a way to load
assets (XML, JPG, etc) with a SWF if the SWF is loaded purely from memory (via
the Flash Player in a VB wrapper rather than via the browser).  Basically in
this situation the SWF and all assets need to be unpacked in memory and the SWF
is loaded from there.  The SWF then needs to load other files but they are
never written to the hard drive.

Getting the SWF loaded via the memory stream is not a problem.. getting other
assets in memory loaded via ActionScript is the question.

Any ideas?

 Subject: [Flashcoders] Local machine data manipulation
 
 
 Hi all,
 
 Im trying to get my head around the capabilities of Flash/Flex for the
 following simple scenario:
 
 1) Load a text file (csv/txt etc) from the local file system into a flash
 object
 2) Convert this object into properly formatted xml
 3) Save to local file system
 
 On PC this sort of thing is traditionally done using a windows application,
 but I would like to know how much of this I can achieve in a flash
 environment.  I have a .NET server/SQL server too,  but Im hoping this can
 all be done client-side so I don't have to upload the data and then
 re-download it.
 
 Any thoughts/ideas appreciated.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Nick
