Re: [Flashcoders] IE vulnerability
You could always just tell that the IE is a buggy and insecure browser - and that in order to use your application, active scripting must be enabled. If your client balks then tell them IE is vulnerable with any web technology - it is just a piece of crap application. Explain to your client that you could just as easily create a signed java applet that would load a virus through JNI that could do anything it wants to a user's PC. It is up to users to be vigilant and aware of the vulnerabilities in their applications. For trusted sites, users should allow active scripting. For sketchy sites, users shouldn't. In any case, you as a developer should let users know that active scripting is required to run your site in the same way that you would let them know that Flash or javascript must be enabled - or develop without any Flash or javascript calls to the browser. You cannot be expected to seamlessly handle every moron user's ignorance about 'dat innernet thing'. There is only so much a developer can do to coddle users before they have to take responsibility for their online activity.

Re: [Flashcoders] Movie Speed
I have been playing with Flex 2 a lot recently, so I forgot a lot of the
AS2 syntax for this, but this is pseudocode for what I would do.
What I would do is initialize the MovieClip as an event broadcaster:
AsBroadcaster.initialize(MovieClip);
then add a broadcaster to the MovieClip prototype
MovieClip.prototype.broadcastEnterFrame = function(){
this.broadcastMessage("enterFrameEvent")
}
then in the root create a movieClip that will be your central animation
broadcaster
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("broadcaster_mc",99);
then create a setInterval to iteratively call the broadcaster
speedInterval = setInterval(broadcast_mc,"broadcastEnterFrame",33);
then to get anything to animate, you simple add it as an event listener
to the MovieClip prototype - and have the animation code in an
"enterFrameEvent" function. To change the global playback rate, you set
33 to some other number ( in milliseconds )
my_mc.enterFrameEvent = function(){
this._x += 3
if(this._x >10)MovieClip.removeListener(this)
}
MovieClip.addListener(my_mc);

Re: [Flashcoders] Do getters and setters add any size to a file
using getters and setters adds no noticeable overhead to your application. Yes the functions add a few bytes, but after compile the difference is undetectable. The benefit you get from proper encapsulation greatly outweighs the slight increase in development time it and script size you get from using getters and setters. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] allowing external content to acces local content
Use system.security.allowDomain("http://192.168.1.1";)
allowinsecuredomain simply lets Flash allow a domain that is insecure to
be loaded and executed if it is being served from a secure domain. Put
system.security.allowDomain into your loader movie. Make sure your
loader movie is running locally with filesystem and network access.
Read the Flash security whitepaper for more - if you google it, you will
find it.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS 3.0 tutorials
Robin,
I am right there with you about the migration from AS2 to AS3.
Basically, as I gather it, packages are pretty much the same thing as
the class path in as2 classes. com.exampleClass would become
package com{
public class exampleClass{
public function exampleClass(){
... code
}
}
}
some things to remember. AS3 constuctors cannot be private ( as of yet
). All the declarative classes (actionscript analogues. The event model has been completely revamped,
too. Instead of using:
myBtn.onPress = function(){
--click functions
}
you use
myBtn:Button = new Button();
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,doOnPress);
function doOnPress(e:MouseEvent):void{
switch(e.target){
case myBtn:
if(e.type==MouseEvent.DOUBLECLICK){
do one thing
}else{
do another thing
}
break;
case homeBtn:
-- home button actions
break;
case menuBtn:
-- menu button actions
break;
}
}
The whole point is to break apart the procedural calls associated with
typical actionscript and tie the framework together in an object
oriented setting that passes informative event objects to a centralized
event processing area. This might seem like a lot of setup work for a
small application, but the goal with AS3 is to allow for the complexity
associated with rich internet applications in a flash client. Imagine
putting a thousand onPress events all over your application then finding
out you need to refactor (change) a huge chunk of your code to add
another type of functionality. You would have to search through your
code in a hundred places on a hundred frames to get the whole thing
right. With the new way, your centralized events can be monitored and
dispatched in one location You could do this with AS2, but it required
some hacking.
The whole MouseEvent.CLICK thing is just a constant in flex with the
value of "click". They just wanted to provide a constant based
reference to the event name so that developers didn't screw up their app
with a typo. The whole e:MouseEvent thing is the event object that
gets passed as a parameter when the event reaches its target. You can
tell the function to accept e:ChangeEvent or e:WhateverEvent and the
event will only active the function if it is the right kind of event.
This can help you sort through the different types of events that are
available in AS3. You can use that event object to get information about
what triggered the event - as well as define custom reactions to the
event as it flows through the document tree ( think of the document as
an XML file and your button is a node)
I know this 5 second breakdown sucks - and I am just really starting to
understand this stuff today - literally I learned this stuff today - so
don't feel like you are alone in the dark.
Also - if you are a Flex guru with better information - or if I screwed
up on my syntax above - I would love to get a reply to correct it.
Thanks
Scott Fanetti

Re: [Flashcoders] _delete onEnterFrame vs onEnterFrame = null
delete this.onEnterFrame is definitely the standard method. I think null kills the function definition, but the event still gets fired and the owner of the onEnterFrame event still gets the event notification. delete destroys the event and removes the function pointer from the instance Anggie Bratadinata wrote: Hi all, How does "onEnterFrame = null" differ from "_delete onEnterFrame" ?
