Re: [Flashcoders] Adobe Flash future

2013-05-09 Thread Weyert de Boer
I think the main issue with EDGE is that it generates such big files. I haven't 
been able to create a useful banner animation with it. Well, one that meets the 
maximum file size for a HTML5 banner. Only the Edge script is already bigger ;)

Yes, I have to admit CreateJS looks promising.

 Thanks for the link Mike, it seems that CreateJS is definitely a step in
 the right direction.
 
 I'm still not sold on Adobe's EDGE suite though... I am afraid that I'll
 always be skeptical of generated HTML after seeing Dreamweaver's design
 view. I also know from experience that including Adobe Edge's javascript
 libraries in filesize sensitive contexts will really limit your options.
 These things make me worried that there may never be a competent,
 visual-based IDE for HTML... which would be a major step backwards from the
 glory days of Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] Placing sprites on the circumference of a circle

2009-11-09 Thread Weyert de Boer
After a bike ride down hill to the supermarket and cooking I just  
tried out all your suggestions and I have to say it appears to work!  
Really nice, only the problem I am currently happening is the issue  
when I am creating sprites dynamically during runtime the origin is  
not in the bottom center but in the top left which goofs up  
everything. And when I try to do:


x = -( b.width / 2 );
y = -( b.height );

Before I am updating the positions as calculated the trigonometry  
formulas. I am quite sure I am overseeing something, though. Not sure  
what is wrong even when I do this after the setting x,y to the values  
of nx, ny it still fails for me.


The current code I am using is as follows:

Well, you can use get getTimezonOffset()-method which is the minutes  
different from the UTC/GMT time
For example, here in The Netherlands the offset should be 120mins.  
This means that the Date-object will
always return your so called zone-related time in Flash. After that  
you can remove the offset from the current time and then you get the  
UK or GMT/UTC time.


OH, there is a way to bring out zone related time in Flash? I only

Note:
The GMT value in the trace will still reflect the local machine's

Just ignore it. The important data are the time and date.

Going forward you will want to consider the issues presented by

Re: [Flashcoders] try-catch-finally ...

2009-03-04 Thread Weyert de Boer
Sure. Reasonable good practice to catch exceptions. I normally use it 
for things like catch the exception and try it once again and if it 
fails for the second time. I will show an error message or try secondary 
option.

Technically, it's good practice/professional to use try-catch-finally blocks
in your actionscript logic. This ensures a robust, easily debugg-able
application.

However, can anyone comment if they actually use try-catch-finally or
whether anyone is for or against it's use.

I ask because I've received an application (which streams vidoe) that was
blowing out numerous users CPUs to 100%. Upon further investigation, it
appears that a netstream event is firing 20 times a second, and within the
listener (listener function that is) for the event, there is a
try-catch-finally block. I removed the try-catch-finally and CPU usage
halved on my machine.
Anyone care to comment for or against try-catch-finally and it's use.

You have a class with a public DOC (DisplayObjectContainer).

This DOC contains all the visual assets of your class.

In you refresh/reset/constructor method, do you use either:

container = null;

or a loop to manually remove all display objects within the container, eg:

if (container != null)
{
if (container.numChildren  0)
{
for (var i = 0; i  container.numChildren; i++)
{
container.removeChildAt(i);
}
}
}

I would just set default values like the colour red in the constructor 
of the component and then just the normal invalidate()-fun for the 
designer view. Now I haven't experience with making components which 
work during design time
for Flash/Flex, though. Only .NET and Delphi in that regard. But that's 
how I did it back then.


constructor TDxColorComboBox.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
begin
 inherited;
 Style := csOwnerDrawFixed;
 Width := 40;
  FSelectedColor := clRed;
end;

Apparently you can use UIComponentGlobals.designMode (boolean) in Flex 
for design time things. Similar to csDesigning in ComponentState in the 
VCL.

[Flashcoders] Frame-based tween solution

2009-02-17 Thread Weyert de Boer

Hello,

I am currently working on a job where I need to convert a timeline-based 
animation to ActionScript only. The project is for Flash Lite 2.1 meaning 
ActionScript 2. I am currently using TweenLite for tween animations which seems 
to work fine. Only I am having a question regarding the timeline animation and 
how to get it converted to runtime tweens. As you might know TweenLite supports 
specifying a delay, the amount of time to wait, before the tween starts. The 
animation has a few fadeins of items in the following manner:

   Element 1: start
   Element 2 and 3: after 3 frames
   Element 4: after 6 frames (from start)


Anyone know a good way to do this using some tween class? My first trials of using 1/30 * 3=0.09s as a delay wasn't successful. 


Thanks in advance.

Presumably you're getting rid of the timeline animation to try and 
save a few K.
Mainly moving it to ActionScript to make it more dynamic to support more 
or less menu items in the animation/design instead of hard-coded 
elements. Now I could also make it all static and only update the text 
fields within the movieclip to support multilanguages.

If you want to open server sockets with AIR. You need an extra 
application alongside your AIR application. This application then opens 
the listening or server socket and then acts as some sort of middleman 
or proxy for your AIR application by redirecting the traffic back and 
forth of the listening socket to the open connection of the AIR 
application to this middle man. Like:


   1. Start helper application
   2. Helper application opens AIR application after opening connection 
(or use SocektMonitor to monitor it instead)

   3. AIR application open client connection to Helper application
   4. Any incoming data into the listening socket should be forward to 
the socket connected from the AIR application

Re: [Flashcoders] asset versioncontrol

2008-12-10 Thread Weyert de Boer

Oh, I just use GIT works really nice. Also see: http://gitcasts.com/

Hi list,

I was wondering how you handle your assets in version control.

I usually follow a standard project setup something like:
trunk
branches
tags

The trunk contains for example sources, deploy, deploy/assets

Now especially the assets folder tends to get very large.
Each time I tag the trunk, the size multiplies.

I was wondering how others are handling this, and looking for a better way
to handle the assets.
Not sure if there is a quick solution to this though:)

regards,
JC

Uh, I thought they dropped the requirement of Terms and Conditions to be 
registered by a notary? You still need to issue TC to the client like 
when sending the quote. If you haven't given the TC to the client it 
won't apply. For example, if you just put them on your website won't be 
good enough. Better to print in on the back of the quote and refer to it 
in your quote.

Yes, that was an AWESOME demo. I've never used CF but what they showed with

I think that CF is by far the best back-end platform for Flex apps
right now, never mind what's coming down the pike. CF natively
supports AMF, includes LCDS Community Edition, it's dead simple to
write services in CF, and if you do use LCDS, provides a one-click ORM
generator to build your CF beans/gateway/assembler and your
corresponding AS value objects.

Yes, but then you still have the problem that a two pixel line is not a 
great hit area for drawn line. That's why I asked the question
to improve the experience by calculating the hit area myself. I can 
basically check if the click is within the given radius of the line.

If so, recognize the click as clicked on the line.

What when you use something like Janus for Windows Mobile? Can you play 
the videos in the videoplayer of the mobile device?

Hi,

 


I am working on a mobile Flash application that uses a lot of video. Before
I received the real target device (HP iPAQ 214 with Windows Mobile 6) I did
some tests on an older type iPAQ (with Windows Mobile 5) and on a Nokia N95.
I had no problems getting video to work in the Flash Lite 2.1 player on both
devices.

A few days ago I received the iPAQ 214 with WM6. I tried several options but
I didn't get video to work in the Flash Lite 2.1 standalone player (the
onStatus event only said: Uknown error (don't you love those)).

 


I already tried many different codecs and nothing seems to work.

It looks like the only way to get video working in Flash on this device is
in the Flash Player 7 in the browser (there is no standalone version). But I
really want to use the whole screen. Does anyone know a solution for this
problem?

Thanks in advance,

Yep, it includes the AS3 compiler now. You only need some update to make

Hi Nik,

I have done research for my dad a while ago, and I came to the
conclusion that it wasn't worth the effort $$$ wise.

Not sure whether that is applicable to your project, Pete, but has
anyone ever used dongle (i.e. hardware) protection for their projects?
I am currently testing out HASP from Aladdin, and does the job so far
(have not come very far yet in testing though).

Yes, the problem with dongles is that it's quite hard to implement, right.
Especially, I would like to advice you not take any of the included examples
or even consider build on top of it. The examples are weak. Please rent some
person who is fully into the dongle and encryption. If not, it will be 
lost money.



What do you guys think about this kind of protection? Why isn't it
used more often?

Because it's a big investment to implement.

[Flashcoders] Reasons of failing onLoad of LoadVars

2007-04-16 Thread Weyert de Boer

Hello!

I happen to have some issues with the onLoad event of the LoadVars 
object in ActionScript.
I am curious if anyone here could tell what could be the possible 
reasons why the onLoad event

don't get triggered.

The problem I have is that the event don't get triggered while the other 
to events onHTTPStatus and  onData
are receiving the actually data received from the POST or GET request. 
For example, it returns 200 as the http

status and the actual OK (as expected) as the data.

It also seems that the addRequestHeader() command gets ignored?!?!

Could someone tell me what could be the problem? Maybe I am not sending 
my HTTP headers correctly?

If you can shed some light on it for me... let me please know!

The code I used for this test is:

var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
result_lv.onLoad = function(success) { // nothing
   trace( success: + success )
   if (success) {
   trace( success:  + status );
   log(Success!  + result_lv.welcomeMessage);
   } else {
   trace( error);
   log(Error connecting to server.);
   }
}

result_lv.onData = function(data) {
   trace(R: data: + data );
   log( data:  + data );
   if ( data == OK ) {
   log(command succesfully. );
   }
}

result_lv.onHTTPStatus = function(status) {
   trace( R: status:  + status );
   log( status:  + status );
}

function log(msg) {
   logger.text = logger.text + msg + \n;
}

//
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.onLoad=function(s) {
   trace(success:  + s ); // nothing
}

send_lv.action = authenticate;
send_lv.username = 23;
send_lv.password = 7cc658971e8f998772bc0a3dda09e834b4d9aede;
send_lv.addRequestHeader( Contraband-PublicHash, 
068c0316e6af2602bbf56cfd85175ff2ae732d02 );

send_lv.sendAndLoad(http://127.0.0.1:8082/;, result_lv, POST );

stop();

Thanks in advance!

p.s. Probably overlooking something :/

Yours,
Weyert de Boer

[Flashcoders] Ten Year Flash website

2007-04-13 Thread Weyert de Boer
Hi! I just saw the new website Ten Year Flash. It really looks nice. But 
could someone here share what you used

for creating the Earth? How would have made the website like this:

  1. some rotating video left to right, right to left. you cant rotate 
top-bottom etc.
  2. reusable zoom in, and zoom out animation using the texture from 
NASA Marble project [1] using a reasonable resolution
  3. create serie of pictures that has all major countries, and some 
times major cities in countries (i.e. east and west coast of north america)
  4. creating image that adds the 'fogginess' which will blended with 
the picture of 2.
  5. Some lang/lat projection system or something to show the items on 
the globe.


How would you guys do it? Or more interesting would any of the creators 
of the site share information?

I think I am gonna recreate this.

Re: Fw: [Flashcoders] Switching sound between boxes and headphones

2007-01-05 Thread Weyert de Boer

Hi Dennis,

This sounds like you won't able to do a Flash only trick. But when it's 
a project you can indeed make use of .NET you might
want to look at the Mixer or SoundMapper functionality which comes with 
the Multimedia API [1,2, 3, 4] of Windows. This makes it possible
to tell to which audio device (input or output) the sound should be 
redirected too. Good luck ;-)


p.s. Maybe you can use Managed DirectX when using .NET. I have to admit 
I haven't done much music stuff, though. Maybe it's just easier to 
change the (audio) settings in the registry temporarily, though.

Hey Weyert,

It's for a projecter..
It will be shown on a computer of my own.. on a presentation location.
At the location users have to have the possibility to switch between 
boxes and a headphone.. preferable by flash instead of a hardware switch.


The only thing running is flash.. so that sound is enough.. and even 
if it's only an incomming mic-stream from fms.. would make me very 
happy :-D


We'r looking into .NET sollutions right now.. but avoiding it is 
always better:)


Any suggestions?

With kind regards,

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Do you want to switch all the sound of the computer or only the sound 
that Flash creates? And does it have to be into a webbrowser or is 
more a projector that requires it?

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
We across the same thing.. although it's a b*tch to get .NET running..
We had an old cd laying here.. but that didn't have all the elements.. 
os you have to download for 24 hours to get a gig of new .net files :-D
Hmm, odd you should only need t download .NET SDK and runtime that ain't 
that big. Maybe your internet sucks, though.
But the Microsoft website is still trillions times faster then Adobe's

Yeah, I made a little game myself and use the classes FoodPiece, Snake, 
and GameWorld and SnakeGame. Meaning that SnakeGame handles all the 
stuff such as start/stop game, score counting. The GameWorld is 
responsible for all the drawing, and calling the update method of the 
Snake instance, which will then have dedicated code to update itself.


Works nicely!
