Re: [Flashcoders] Cache Issue

[Nathan Mynarcik]

add a query at the end of the xml string when loading.

var cb = new Date().getTime();

then when you load..

load('content.xml/?cb='+cb);

Re: [Flashcoders] Button events under mc

[Nathan Mynarcik]

Try MOUSE_OVER instead of ROLL_OVER.

Also, leave the mouseEnabled/mouseChildren set to false for whatever is on
top of the button.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Grab Textfield Value from Javascript

[Nathan Mynarcik]

If you are not using swfObject to embed your flash, I highly recommend
doing so.  You should have no cross browser issues with it and the code
provided/researched to achieve your objective.

You can download it here:
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/downloads/list

You can find the easy configuration tool here:

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Grab Textfield Value from Javascript

[Nathan Mynarcik]

*In JS:*

mainFlash = document.getElementById('flash'); //id of the object element


mainFlash.asFunc(); //trigger flash with an external interface call


*In Flash:*


//Flash listens for asFunc in JS and knows to execute myFunc

ExternalInterface.addCallback('asFunc', myFunc); //my Func is an
actual function in my AS3;

 myFunc will contain your script to grab the text in the TF and send
it back to JS.

Re: [Flashcoders] Facebook share button

I believe the meta tags has more importance than trying to manipulate the
title and description like how you are doing for the code you supplied.

You can however, try making a FB application which will then allow you to
send a predefined wall post of your liking. Of course, you would have to go
through the Auth Dialog. More info on that can be found here:

Re: [Flashcoders] SCORM development and packaging for LMS

[Nathan Mynarcik]

If I remember correctly, I think it's just referring to the manifest.xml
file.  That's the backbone of your 'package'.

Not sure what LMS I worked with at that time, but all I did was upload the
files in it's own directory with the manifest file in the top leve of the
course and then point the LMS to that directory when adding the course.

Hopefully someone else can provide you with a bit more direction on this.

You can keep TweenLite if you need to cut down on filesize and use the

Re: [Flashcoders] FDT, version control and project files

[Nathan Mynarcik]

Hey Alias,

At my current place of work, we almost always use SVN to control our
projects.  Lately, we have started to noticed that the SVN plugin with FDT
3.5 is subpar and likes crap on us often. So some of the guys have started
using CornerStone to handle the SVN stuff.  I feel it's alot easier to use
and more intuitive.  Also has a couple of extra features that come in handy.
 When FDT can't handle the SVN, it's either Cornerstone or Terminal.

The only time we do not use SVN is if it's a very small and tight deadline
project, where only one developer will be working on it.  Only then it seems
as an overkill to setup an SVN for that particular project.

It depends on how many files you want to manage.  I think from a OOP

You could add a new Date variable at the end of your swf like:

var d:Date = new Date()

var nc:String = "?nocache=" + d.getTime();

startLoad("moive.swf"+nc);

Re: [Flashcoders] How to view and edit alternate content

[Nathan Mynarcik]

Or just change the name of the swf to embed in your swfObject code to test.
If it can't find the swf, alternate content its shown.

Re: [Flashcoders] Scrollbar Component

[Nathan Mynarcik]

You could also implementing the scrollbar via code:

*//Create the scrollBar instance
*var scrollBar:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();*//assign the target of the
scrollBar to your textfield*
//theOutput is the TF instance name
scrollBar.scrollTarget = theOutput;
*//make the height the same as the textfield*
scrollBar.height = theOutput.height;
*//Move the scrollbar to the righthand side
*scrollBar.move(theOutput.x + theOutput.width, theOutput.y);
*//add it to the stage*
addChild(scrollBar);
*//check if it is required if so show it,put this function right after
updating your textfield contents with added text
*function updateScrollBar():void{
scrollBar.update();
if (scrollBar.enabled == false) {
scrollBar.alpha = 0;
} else {
scrollBar.alpha = 100;
}
}

Do an if statement checking to see if the textfields height is greater than
the scrollbars height. If false, scrollbar.visible = false.

Is that what you want to do?

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV audio doesn't stop

[Nathan Mynarcik]

I have encountered this as well with an e-Learning Flash Course I did last
year.  I read somewhere that "unloadAndStop()" was suppose to work when
unloading the current swf/flv.  I think this is a Flash 10 only method.
 Perhaps this might fix your issue?

Said from the man himself. Great suggestion!

No need to use a Timer. Wouldn't it be as simple as this?:

for (var i:int = 0; i < targets.length; i++) {

If you need to control the entire sequence as a whole (pause(), resume(),
reverse(), restart(), gotoAndPlay(), etc.), definitely insert() them into a
TimelineLite or TimelineMax. If you aren't familiar with TimelineLite/Max,
check out the brief video at http://www.greensock.com/timeline-basics/. But
again, a simple loop along with the delay special property should be all you
need for most situations.

You could also do an onComplete call to a function that will add to a
counter variable that you can then access as nameOfArray[counter] for the Y
parameter.

Of course, I have not used the "allTo" function.  But this has worked for
the regular "to" and "from" methods.

What if you did it like this:

}

TweenMax.allTo(_blockViews, 1, { alpha:1, y:getRandY() }, .2);

Re: [Flashcoders] startDrag stopDrag problem

Have your mouseUp listener on the stage and not on the scrubber.  Or else,
you would have to release on the scrubber for your function to be called.

Re: [Flashcoders] Link text indexes in a TextField

You will have to cull out what you want:

stuff.substr(stuff.indexOf("[a href="event:block1"]"), stuff.indexOf("[/a]"));

Re: [Flashcoders] E4X question: counting number of subnodes

[Nathan Mynarcik]

Yeah you should add attributes to your game nodes to seperate them:

var games:XML =
 
   
 
 
 
   
   
 
 
   
   
 
 
   
 ;

then you can use E4X to find the actually amount of users in each game:

**Pseudo Code**
games.game(@id == "1").user.length();

Re: [Flashcoders] onComplete Problem

[Nathan Mynarcik]

You should still be able to execute an onComplete as long as you are
communicating between your scripts and the main.

On Aug 7, 2010 9:35 AM, "Steven Jacobs"  wrote:

Hi;
I am building a script that imports two other scripts. I load them just fine
and
I load a couple of images, one of which is a background image (and is

I
import take a while to load and the bgimage loads  before they do, despite
the
fact that that part of the script  supposedly executes last. Now, if I had
these
imported scripts all in  the main script (instead of importing them) I'd
simply
execute an  onComplete, but what do I do when I'm importing them?

Re: [Flashcoders] Querying XML

[Nathan Mynarcik]

You would need to make a var that is an XMLList that pulls only the nodes
that have the value "a".  Then you can trace out your XMLList and it will
only be the ones you need.

Re: [Flashcoders] masking issues

[Nathan Mynarcik]

Whatever is added to the stage last by using "addChild" method, will be at the 
top. 

What is masking what? No where in your code do you have anything setup to be a 
mask.

Subject: [Flashcoders] masking issues

I don't know if I can attach documents here, but I'm trying it, because my 
question involves a fla with a masked textfield on it and a MovieClip in its 
library. If attachments don't work, look here:  
http://www.freedmania.com/test/MaskIssue/ The scripts are listed below. 

There's two ActionScripts here, one launching the other, to simulate my 
eventual problem. The symbol in the library, myBox_mc, is linked to class 
MyBoxx, which places it on the stage. Traces show that, by the time it's there, 
it's parent is the BaseTimeLine. The mask, drawn in the authoring application, 
is positioned over a textfield and is precisely the textfield's dimensions. The 
rest of the stage is unmasked.

Click on the blue-green thingy (myBox_mc) and drag it around. You'll see that 
it's actually under the mask. 

I  need it on top. What do I need to do?

Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Thanks,
- Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 newbie question: how can I correct this to makean object appear on the stage?

[Nathan Mynarcik]

I would also suggest posting only to one mailing list first. This would help 
ghost threads from being created. Besides, I think most of us are subscribed to 
both and both lists have many helpful people on them to provide you solutions. 

Good luck.

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 newbie question: how can I correct this to make
an object appear on the stage?

I don't understand why this doesn't work...

I have a MovieClip, "myClass.fla",  with one symbol in the library, "myBox_mc".

Frame 1 of "myClass.fla" has the following actions:

import flash.display.MovieClip;
var myBoxx:MovieClip = MovieClip("myBox_mc");
addChild(myBoxx);

The symbol is exported for ActionScript. Its class remains "myBox_mc". Its base 
class has been changed to "myBoxx".  The classPath has been properly configured 
and ends in the "classes" folder. "myBoxx.as" is in this folder.

The contents of "myBoxx.as" are:

package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
 
 public class myBoxx extends MovieClip
 {
  public function myBoxx(m:MovieClip)
  {
   trace("09myBoxx parent "+this.parent);
   var dmc:MovieClip = m.MovieClip("myBox_mc");
   m.addChild(dmc);
  }
 }
}

When I run this, I get:"Symbol "myBox_mc"error #1023No default 
construtor found in base class myBoxx.

I can't find any other example, or any lesson that tells me what's wrong. Any 
help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 newbie question: how can I correct this to makean object appear on the stage?

[Nathan Mynarcik]

First you are not importing your mybox class correctly. Second, the external 
class should start with a capital ("MyBoxx.as"). Third, your declaration of the 
instance is incorrect for how you have it setup. 

import myBoxxflash;
var myBoxx:MyBoxx = new MyBoxx();
addChild(myBoxx);

Your external class needs some work as well. I would read up on some tutorials 
on how to implement external Classes.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic Text Boxes in Flash CS4

You have to embed the font for that textfield so it will render the text

Sent: May 26, 2010 5:07 PM

I have some static text boxes that I need to make dynamic.
Questions;
1. Do you have to render text as HTML in a Dynamic text box in order to use 
multiple font sizes and colors within each box?
2. When I render the text as HTML, format the type, get it looking good. Then I 
click outside the text box, the text weight and line spacing changes.
When I select the text box again with the text tool, the type appears correct 
as I originally set it.

Is this normal or is Flash messing with my mind.

Re: [Flashcoders] Drop shadows and blurs how heavy on the processor?

[Nathan Mynarcik]

If your scaling, PNGs are going to look like kaka (this probably isn't 
something new to you). I would use the blurs and shadows and play with the 
quality settings. 

If its too processor intensive, perhaps the designer needs to rethink the 
design to be more processor "friendly".

If you are not scaling the items, PNGs might work.  However, they might
bloat your swf size.  Might be a trial and error thing that you would want
to try and test.  Not sure how bad blurs and glows/shadows are on the
processor.  I would probably still go the vector route.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to hault execution and raise a error flag

[Nathan Mynarcik]

You could try in your logic to use a case switch. Then "break" on error.

Subject: [Flashcoders] How to hault execution and raise a error flag
Sent: Apr 29, 2010 7:13 AM

Hi,

I was wondering how can I put the execution of a application to a hault and
raise a error flag ( maybe quite everything) so it does not move anywhere
further. I have some logical errors which do not cause troubles in the
execution, but I still want to stop execution when they occur. For debugging
purposes.

The display list is managed as a stack. New items go on top when you add
them by default. So the first item you added will have index 0. If you
addChild() again, the new child will be at index 1.

If you want to get the topmost child, you can do:

container.getChildAt(container.numChildren - 1);

Yup! Get the display list numChildren and subtract 1 from it. That's the number 
you want to set as the new index.

Re: [Flashcoders] arranging

This worked with three circles on the stage in the timeline.  All have  
the same eventlistener to them.  Does error if the object is already  
at the top.


Have fun!

function getIndex(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(getChildByName(e.currentTarget.name));
var index:int;
index = getChildIndex(mc);
setChildIndex(mc, index+1);

}

RE: [Flashcoders] Changing angle for better arrangement in circle

[Nathan Mynarcik]

I think you might want to look into Papervision3D to get exactly what you
want.  If not, your math logic is going to have to be crazy to get the
results you are wanting. Your spacing stays the same because you are working
on a 2D scale.  If you use papervision, you might have better luck achieving
your goal.

Re: [Flashcoders] Changing angle for better arrangement in circle

If you want the dots to be on top of all the items, the dots need to  
be in separate MCs of the items and need to be added to the stage  
after all the other item MCs have been added.

If the objects you  were placing were centered rather than positioned

distanced. There might be other reasons why you cant center them of

Before anyone gets excited, I don't wish to re-ignite the Jobs/Apple 
hatemail (please pick another thread to manifest your anger) - just a 
question about the Apple development stranglehold.

Even if the output from Adobes Flash->Apple conversion doesn't result in 
an officially sanctioned app that can be sold via the appstore, is there 
still an "internal" route to deployment perhaps as a company internal 
app that isn't sold to Joe public. How exactly is the stranglehold 
enforced besides the appstore and official developer agreements?

I'm just curious about the potential use of the conversion for 
prototypes or niche uses.

I believe you just can't sell the app on the appstore. You can export and add 
it to any iPhone, its just against their SDK to sell it on iTunes.

RE: [Flashcoders] NoCache XML

[Nathan Mynarcik]

The nocache in the SWFObject is so the swf isn't cached.  I also use the
same treatment for the XML that is loaded into the swf.  That along with the
META tags that call for no caching and that does the trick.  I guess for
safety purposes, I could add your script as well.  Might be overkill, but if
it prevents every browser from caching, so be it.

Hi Nathan,
Are you adding the no-cache to the html page or to the swfobject that  
loads?
I noticed on your site that you have the no-cache in the swfobject.
Maybe if the no-cache was associated with the html file that the  
swfobject was embedded/placed in, it would work?
I believe, but no proof atm, that the code I supplied will make sure  
nothing in the html will cache. Not the html page nor its contents.
But I can not validate that atm.

I do recommend AS3, but you're far from the last doing AS2. I just
finished up a 4-month AS2 contract, and last I heard, they were still
looking for contractors who know AS2.

When you have an extensive app or Web site built in AS2, switching to
AS3 is really tough, especially when it's a popular site and expanding
rapidly. There are lots of legacy AS2 gigs out there.

I would still become an AS3 expert. That's where the real action is.
Plus, you can use cool tools like Flex/FlexBuilder/Flashbuilder, and
AS3 is just plain better than AS2.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson

The problem is that the function is taking too long to do that... like I have:

buildXML(ixml);

and it traces to:

RE: [Flashcoders] NoCache XML

[Nathan Mynarcik]

The XML file is only called once for the user's experience.  On the initial
visit from the user, the XML for the UI of the site is called and then the
XML for the content is called (RSS feed).

If I can't figure this out, I might just set a cookie via JavaScript and
have it clear the contents in -1 days so nothing gets cached from the site.

Just a thought, but maybe setting the variable that holds the XML you  
grab from the server to "null" right before it goes to grab the XML  
every time the page gets called.
That way it isn't holding on to the last XML grabbed?? It might be  
going to grab the xml while that variable already has a value and the  
browser is tripping it to clear the variable
before populating it again, but doesn't have that second call after  
its cleared till you refresh. Kind of a pseudo variable caching. Like  
I said, its just a thought. Not sure if that is even possible.
I am reaching though, I have had similar situations with my PHP files  
not getting variables, so I am interested to see what solution can be  
provided.

[Flashcoders] NoCache XML

[Nathan Mynarcik]

Hey everyone,

I am loading in an external xml doc via

loadXML("url of xml");

To prevent browsers from caching the xml, I add at the end of the url string a 
Date object like:

loadXML("url of xml"+"?nocache="+new Date().getTime());

This sometimes works and other times doesn't. The xml is the backbone to the 
colors used in the UI of my site which goes black when the load doesn't work 
properly. 

I have tried to add an IOERROREvent function to catch the error and then supply 
the url to the load function without the Date object appended. 

Is there any checks or different directions I can take to prevent visitors from 
sometimes having to refresh until the xml gets loaded correctly?

Thanks Jason,

I understand the theory, but have a problem creating a MVC myself.
I don't want to use other frameworks, I want to learn to OOP in Flash and
how to create an MVC from scratch.
I am really looking for some simple, but completely working examples.

In basic MVC, the controller listens to both the model and view for events.
Since Flash doesn't have data binding like Flex has, the model might
dispatch an event when a value changes, and the controller would then tell
the view how to change and might send a value to it.  Also, the view might
dispatch an event that the controller would be listening for, and the
controller might then tell another view or the model (or both) to change.
So the controller controls the view and the model, but the controller does
not get controlled.  

In more advanced patterns and frameworks, you have things like commands
(like in Cairngorm), façades, proxies etc. to also facilitate these
communications.

I missed the beginning of this thread somehow, but FWIW, FlashDevelop
has an Add > New Event menu option in the project pane when you right
click on a package folder which makes creating custom events a snap.
All you really have to do is enter the static event constants you want
the event to have and you're done. When you select this option, it
auto-generates a file with this in it:

package events 
{
import flash.events.Event;

/**
 * ...
 * @author Jason Merrill
 */
public class NewEvent extends Event 
{

public function NewEvent(type:String,
bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false) 
{ 
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);

} 

public override function clone():Event 
{ 
return new NewEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable);
} 

public override function toString():String 
{ 
return formatToString("NewEvent", "type",
"bubbles", "cancelable", "eventPhase"); 
}

}

}

Re: [Flashcoders] faster work flows?

[Nathan Mynarcik]

I think it depends on the design. Its good to be pixel perfect and pay very 
close attention to detail if your design calls for that. If your layout is more 
fluid I think that this would be a little less tedious than a design that calls 
for the "pixel perfect" look and feel. 

Regardless, the tedious work is sometimes what we as developers get paid for. 
If your rate justifies your time spent on such tasks, then hopefully the 
feeling of needing a better way is less intense. 

Again, personally, it boils down to the design of the layout. Sometimes the 
best way is the tedious way.

I currently use a few methods based on who I am working with or if I am 
on my own
0.pure timeline based animation with some simple scripting
1.Positioning by code of imported assets, after taking all x,y data from 
illustrator or flash (one frame or no frames because I am using 
flashdevelop or the flex IDE)
(I wanted to work with catalyst, but it is proving not to be all that 
useful right now; thus, I am toying with the idea of making my own basic 
tool to do something similar for simple code gen purposes.  I have heard 
a lot of hardcore pros talk about how they did this, so I am hoping it 
will work out for me.)
2.frames on the timeline using the flash IDE to position assets; yet, 
this makes doing transitions between frames more difficult.

Is there a faster way?  Right now everything seems so tedious.  Time I 
should be coding is being spent working with the design to figure out 
x,y, so everything is pixel perfect.

Any tips?

Re: [Flashcoders] Passing Call To Child

If you are putting the sprite in an MC and then doing mc.name = "myName" it 
should then return the name of the mc. Sprite however does not have the name

The "1" is from this line, which follows:

trace(e.currentTarget.numChildren);

So lo and behold, apparently currentTarget does indeed have a child (I'm
vindicated!).

So I changed the line which used getChildByName to getChildAt and entered
the value "0" and now all works well. But why didn't getChildByName work?
How can I find the name of the child?

Re: [Flashcoders] Apparently Doesn't Check Cache

[Nathan Mynarcik]

I actually have experienced the reverse of this issue. Flash caches the dynamic 
content so hard that I have reverted to using no_cache meta tags in my HTML. 
Not to OT the topic, but are meta tags the best way to prevent this? I have 
even though of adding a variable at the end of my dynamic urls with a date 
element so flash would constantly think its a new XML doc to load everytime.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Apparently Doesn't Check Cache

Every request for a file will go back to the server at some level. For example, 
despite the fact that have a file "preloaded' into cache when another request 
is made for the file it will look at the cache then send a request to the 
server to see if the file has changed or whether the file in cache is valid to 
use. If the server returns "use file from cache" then it will use the cached 
file otherwise it will load the "revised" version from the server. 

First questions would then be what is the header returned as part of the 
original file request. Is it no-cache or does it set a very short expiry? Are 
the url's exactly identical or is there any kind of query string associated 
with the url of one request but not the other? This might be walking on thin 
ice here, but can you see the file in the browser's cache? Back in the day, 
when I was doing Director development, there was a period of time that elapsed 
from when "Shockwave" loaded the file and the time that it went into the 
browser's cache. The file was always available within the Shockwave environment 
but it was immediately visible in the browser's cache. Don't know if a similar 
situation arises with Flash where the content is loaded but hasn't yet been 
written into the browser's cache. 

I'd honestly start out by using something like Internet Explorer where you can 
easily browse the cached files -> blow away the cache and then load your swf 
preloader app. See if the files are in cache. If they are cool, note the URL 
associated with them. Then I'd go back and clear the cache again and re-run the 
app with the new window code in place. I'd run it through to completion and see 
if there are two copies of said image in cache one from the swf preloader and 
the other from the new window. If so it would imply that they must be seeing 
slightly different urls. If not then I'd be looking for no cache headers. 
Concurrent to this I'd be using something like Fiddler (IE), Charles or Tamper 
Data or similar app that will allow you to see the requests and the responses 
and be able to examine the headers and check for no-cache or very short expiry 
on the headers. 

Theoretically what you are doing should work, I can't see how placing the image 
on stage would make any difference. Everything is always a possibility but 
using a test strategy that stepwise verifies what is getting written into cache 
and what the request are for the files is a good first step in eliminating many 
issues. 

Sincerely 
Mark R. Jonkman

Re: [Flashcoders] addChildAt

[Nathan Mynarcik]

Does your parent sprite have 6 displayobjects in it? If the 6th position is not 
available, you can't add it to that "layer". 

If it works when adding to the stage, you must have atleast 6 displayobjects on 
the stage.
