[Flashcoders] Muzak's MXI Creator Fatal Error
Everyone is my office is getting a Fatal Exception Error when they try to run Muzak's MXI Creator. XP, Vista, SP1, SP2, machines that never had it installed before, machines that uninstalled and resintalled. Same Fatal Error on launch on all of them. Anyone know if there's a fix for this? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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] "named" while loops in AS3
You'll have to set a flag.
var a:Number = 10;
var b:Number = 10;
var breakLoop:Boolean = false;
while (a--) {
if (breakLoop) break;
trace("a = " + a);
while (b--) {
if (b < 5) {
breakLoop = true;
break;
}
trace("b = " + b);
}
}
Output:
a = 9
b = 9
b = 8
b = 7
b = 6
b = 5

RE: [Flashcoders] Create MXI/MXP with External JSFL
Muzak,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, it's not working for me when I
try to test it before I even make it an MXI/MXP.
I created a jsfl folder inside the Configuration folder and put my jsfl
file in there.
uri = MMExecute("fl.configURI") + "jsfl/test.jsfl";
MMExecute("fl.trace(\"" + uri + "\")");
It traces it out just fine when Flash launches, but when I try to
runScript one of the functions in that jsfl file it says argument 1 is
invalid.
var func = "testFunc";
var cPath = MMExecute("fl.runScript(\"" + uri + "\", \"" + func +
"\")");
This works just fine if I hardcode the path to the JSFL on the C: drive.
There is one weird thing where it changes the : to a | with configURI
but the documentation says that it's supposed to work just like it is.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steven

[Flashcoders] Create MXI/MXP with External JSFL
Hey FC, I have a Flash panel I created which requires an external JSFL file to run. How do I package up the JSFL file into the MXI/MXP and how do I determine what the file path is to it load said JSFL from inside the Actionscript of the panel SWF? Wrapping the JSFL into Actionscript is not an option. It's far too complex.

I've never used the Window component. I don't even know what it does. I don't use MM components unless I'm mocking something up really quick.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 Announced
> Freehand was terrible IMO. I know quite a few people who feel exactly opposite of you. They absolutely hate Illustrator and mourn the loss of what they believe to be a clearly better product. My experience is that most people who don't like Freehand never actually gave it a proper chance or were content because they already knew Illustrator and couldn't motivate to learn something new that does the "same thing". Freehand was ahead of Illustrator in features and ease of use for quite some time and Freehand forced Illustrator to compete in what was once a monopoly (Corel Draw? Yeah, right!). I don't use either program so I have no opinion. :) Fireworks is different than Photoshop in some key ways. It's not going away anytime soon. At Adobe MAX in Las Vegas last year, Adobe was pretty clear that Fireworks was not only not going away, it was being given new features and tighter integration with other Adobe products. ___ 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] empty textfield of type "input" and embedded font
VM1 requires that you wait a frame before certain methods of dynamically
attached clips are available. The easiest way around this is to put a
method configUI(); on frame 1 of the timeline in your clip and put that
method in your class to do what you need to do.
And if any of y'all on Flashcoders think that's dirty, go on back to
whatever language you came from. This here is Flash territory and we
don't kin to you uppity Java types. Yee-haw! ;)
The alternatives are:
private var fCount:Number = 0;
function ClassName()
{
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.fCount++ > 0) {
configUI();
}
};
}
function configUI()
{
// do whatever
}
OR
private var frameInterval:Number;
function ClassName()
{
frameInterval = setInterval(this, "configUI", 50);
}
function configUI()
{
clearInterval(frameInterval);
// do whatever
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Using JSFL with AS files
You can read and write any text files, so you can certainly read and write AS files. Here is the full Flash 8 JSFL API PDF document which is IMPOSSIBLE to find anymore on Adobe's site. http://tinyurl.com/2qu83v Of particular interest to you are: Flfile Object Flfilre.read(fileOrFolderURI); Flfile.write(fileURI, textToWrite); etc. Hope this helps you. JSFL rocks. I've used it to create many handy tools. One thing that will save you some headaches if you make Panels out of your JSFL tools is make sure you DOCK the panels in Flash. For some reason, certain JSFL actions that modify objects on the timeline are broken if called from a free floating panel. It's a bug and it's probably known and I wouldn't expect a fix anytime soon.

RE: [Flashcoders] disabling carriage returns in wrapping text fields
You could fake it and instead of using an input textfield, capture
keystrokes and put them into a dynamic textfield. :)
You could also validate the input textfield on every key up event and
strip any carriage returns out then.
INP_Field.text =
INP_Field.text.split("\n").join("").split("\r").join("");
:)

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash extension question
If you want to export to a different directory, you'll have to modify
the publish settings xml file, which I discuss on my blog...which for
some reason is down right now (writes email to hosting company)...so
I'll copy and paste the code here. If you are publishing to the same
folder as the FLA, you only need to doc.publish() and the first two
functions.
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
function getRelativePath() {
var pathArr = doc.path.split("\\");
pathArr.length--;
return("file:///" + pathArr.join("/") + "/");
}
function saveFile(s) {
var fPath = getRelativePath() + s + ".fla";
fl.saveDocument(doc, fPath);
}
function cleanup() {
var fPath = getRelativePath() + "PublishProfile.xml";
FLfile.remove(fPath);
}
function publishTheSWF(s) {
setPublishSettings(s);
saveFile(s);
cleanup();
doc.publish();
}
function setPublishSettings(s) {
var xml, from, to, snip;
var fPath = getRelativePath() + "PublishProfile.xml";
// export the profile and read it in
doc.exportPublishProfile(fPath);
xml = FLfile.read(fPath);
var folderPath = "../deploy/";
// replace the publish paths
from = xml.indexOf("");
to = xml.indexOf("");
snip = xml.substring(from, to);
xml = xml.split(snip).join("" + folderPath + s);
// set player version
v = 8;
from = xml.indexOf("");
to = xml.indexOf("");
snip = xml.substring(from, to);
xml = xml.split(snip).join("" + v);
var nodes = {};
nodes.generatorFileName = "swt";
nodes.projectorWinFileName = "exe";
nodes.projectorMacFileName = "hqx";
nodes.htmlFileName = "html";
nodes.gifFileName = "gif";
nodes.jpegFileName = "jpg";
nodes.pngFileName = "png";
nodes.qtFileName = "mov";
nodes.rnwkFileName = "smil";
for (var n in nodes) {
from = xml.indexOf("<" + n + ">");
to = xml.indexOf("");
snip = xml.substring(from, to);
xml = xml.split(snip).join("<" + n + ">" + s + "." +
nodes[n]);
}
// write the file
FLfile.write(fPath, xml);
// import the altered profile
doc.importPublishProfile(fPath);
}
You can then use:
publishTheSWF("swfName");
Note: do not include the extension.

RE: [Flashcoders] apollo is in macromedia labs
It's not only for Flex. Flex == Flash. That's like saying "It's only for Ruby, not Rails." Rails is written in Ruby. Flex 2 is built with Flash. It's simply a bunch of classes and components written in AS3 that provide a framework for developing applications. Currently, the Apollo compiler is a plug-in for Flex Builder 2, but you could make a stub projector that will load any AS3 swf, which there are multiple ways to write. There's the Flash 8 patch to publish Flash 9, the ANT compiler which works with FlashDevelop, and Flex Builder 2. Yes, you can write regular AS3 swfs with Flex Builder. Flex Builder is just Eclipse with a plug-in. I'm not sure what you "need" Apollo for. It's still in beta, and even after launch, I'm sure that like every single other wrapper out there, it will need time to work the kinks out before it will be ready for mass distribution. If you have a client depending on a Flash wrapper technology, you should look to mProjector or Zinc. ___ 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] Q:using printjob class
There is no difference between printing a rotated clip in portrait or a non-rotated clip in landscape. A printer does the same thing when it prints an image in landscape. Technically, I'm telling the printer to print in landscape mode even when it's not set to print in landscape mode. My script results in an identical print regardless of what the user sets the printer to, so I think I'm right in saying that you can force a printer to print in landscape. Also, my script doesn't rotate the clip if the printer is set to print in landscape. "You have to rotate the clip" is only part of the story. The PrintJob class has inconsistencies in its internal math, which is why I had to set realW, realH, orgX and orgY and do different calculations at different points in the script. I wrote that code with much trial and error (and no wasted paper thanks to Microsoft image documents). > Um - unless I'm missing something - the code you link to is > just rotating the image to be printed to make it landscape > (if the printer settings aren't already set to landscape). > You can't actually set the printer settings to landscape > programmatically, you have to rotate the clip in question. > > Which is, I think, what I said. > > Ian ___ 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

You can't tell an object to delete itself from within its own thread.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3... when to start?
The issue at hand is that there is really a lack of information out there to educate Flash developers on what the benefits and differences are of using Flex. You pretty much have to take the plunge and learn it to educate yourself on why you should be using it in the first place. This is, IMO, Adobe's burden, however, it should be noted that a lot of Flex developers come not from Flash, but from arenas like Java, .NET, VB, etc. and they needed no prodding as Flex fulfills a need many of them have been looking for. To say that Flex is only as good as the components it comes with is not a fair statement. You can, should and do write your own components with Flex. You don't have to only use the components Flex comes with if you don't want to (much the same as Flash in this regard). If you come from Flash, you will find the Design view woefully inadequate compared to what you're used to with the timeline. There's no visual z-indexing or folders, etc. However, without breaking any NDAs, I'll casually mention that Adobe is working on making Flex Builder more attractive to designers. ;) The best thing I've heard comparing Flex vs. Flash (and it's still not really sufficient) is that there are applications that are much easier to write in Flex than in Flash and vice-versa, and knowing which to use and how to use them will help you choose the right implementation for your client. At the same time, pretty much every Flash developer I know that took the plunge to Flex no longer does any Flash (if they can help it) and swears by Flex. So, in conclusion, you have to take the time to learn Flex to understand Flex, but in doing so you may never come back to Flash. I'm still in the early stages of learning Flex, so I can't speak to why those who emigrate never return. ___ 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] Dynamic Flash
Posting the same question under three different subjects won't get your question answered any quicker. Flash is perfectly capable of CRUD communication with a database and displaying it however you like. You're asking for advice on how to set up a relational database and how to write inner join SQL statements, and then how to send that data to Flash. Only one part of that has anything to do with Flash, and it's probably one of the most basic things you can do with Flash (displaying data). I suggest you buy an introduction to Flash book and an introduction to relational database book and get to reading. ___ 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] Coding Standards: Use of Get/Set
Get/set is useful when creating a visual object class, as well as for
setting private variables on set. It's also useful when you don't want
the variable that is being set to be getted, as well.
For instance, I have an application which allows a user to type in the
day, month and year into three different fields.
This data is applied to the model via setters:
public function set month(n:Number):Void
{
_month = --n;
var d:Date = new Date(_msDate);
d.setMonth(n);
_msDate = d.getTime();
}
public function set day(n:Number):Void
{
_day = n;
var d:Date = new Date(_msDate);
d.setDate(n);
_msDate = d.getTime();
}
public function set year(n:Number):Void
{
_year = n;
if (String(_year).length == 1) {
_year = Number("200" + n);
} else if (String(_year).length == 2) {
_year = Number("20" + n);
}
var d:Date = new Date(_msDate);
d.setFullYear(_year);
_msDate = d.getTime();
}
This allows me to set the month to a valid flash month (month - 1), and
update _msDate, which is the date in milliseconds, for sorting by dates
very easily.
I use setters and getters because it makes autocompletion and code hints
a breeze. It also is great for visual object model classes.
If you choose to write getVariable vs get variable, it's up to you. I
use them in different ways at different times.

You don't assign a movieclip to it, you add your movieclip as a listener
to the scrollbar.
MC_Scrollbar.addEventListener("change", yourClip);
or if you want to use Delegate
...("change", Delegate.create(yourClip, onScroll);
or if your clip has its own class
...("change", Delegate.create(this, onScroll);

RE: [Flashcoders] Scrolling text with dragger??
I have a scrollbar class I wrote and blogged about. You might find it useful for your needs. http://www.stevensacks.net/2007/02/06/flash-scrollbar-ftw/ ___ 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] text length difference
You might also want to strip any non-html carriage returns, which will
not get picked up by ignoreWhiteSpace, as well.
myHtmlString.split("\n").join("").split("\r").join("");

RE: [Flashcoders] Extending List v2 component
Why use a component at all? All you're talking about doing is scrolling a bunch of movieclips behind a mask. I posted some code here awhile back that covered doing that. Search the archives and you'll find it. It's pretty straightforward to do. The MM components are heavy, take too long to render and are buggy to boot. You're better off rolling your own or trying a 3rd party solution. ___ 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] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
You can use hitTest, you can use mouse position, or you can set an
interval to fire a function in 10 ms when you rollout that checks to see
if a flag is true that the other button will set true onRollOver.
function checkFlag() {
clearInterval(checkInterval);
delete checkInterval;
if (btn2Flag) {
btn2Flag = false;
btn1.gotoAndStop("out");
}
}
btn1.onRollOut = function() {
checkInterval = setInterval(checkFlag, 10);
};
btn2.onRollOver = function() {
btn2Flag = true;
};

Your code formatting is not working.
Delegate rocks. I use it all the time.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flair Pattern bad mixins good (?)
Yeah, the GoF book is definitely like reading a calculus textbook. It's dry and to the point and the examples are in Smalltalk and some C++, which means a lot of cross-referencing with google. The concepts they discuss and the examples they give are helpful to a point but code examples you can't understand definitely get in the way. GoF's is good reference book worth owning, and once you grasp design patterns more firmly, you'll probably get more from it. Head First is a lot more accessible out the gate. ___ 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
