Re: [Flashcoders] Adobe Flash future
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. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

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.

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

[Flashcoders] Frame-based tween solution
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.

That's a bit vague. In which way wasn't it successful? Well, the problem is that I have a simple timeline animation Presumably you're getting rid of the timeline animation to try and save a few K.

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.

Re: [Flashcoders] I want to write an open 3d gaming engine ...recommend any books?

I have a detailed understanding of AI; however, I must admit that my 3D Math skills are still being developed. I understand the concepts of transformations, views, parent child relationships, and particle math is really simple physics; yet, I want to get hardcore on game programming. What are the best books that deal specifically with 3D, math/programming, and assume no prior knowledge. I want a book that is highly detailed; for, if it exists, if I am missing something in my foundation, I want the name of a book that will allow me to back track and look up how to do something foundational whilst providing me with all the advanced info I can handle once I am ready.

The idea is that the mobile interface could be used to control a system in close proximity and the SWF would be served via bluetooth from something close by. The app would also need to be able to talk to a central server using XML or similar and I am not sure whether I would need an internet connection or if this could be done over bluetooth too?

Re: [Flashcoders] Video issues with Flash Lite 2.1 and Windows Mobile 6
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.

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?

[Flashcoders] Reasons of failing onLoad of LoadVars
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.

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

[Flashcoders] gProject
Does anyone use gProject and if so what do you think of it? I might be planning to buy it, only I am not sure if it's any good. You can't get a limited demo either.

Hello! My MacBook Pro arrived earlier this week and now I am trying to install Studio 8 (under MacOSX) only I don't get it working. Mainly, because it keeps hanging. Does anyone know how I can install it?

lincoln wrote: It just keeps hanging? Are there other symptoms? I've installed studo 8 on my macbook just fine. However, I just installed a select few programs instead of the entire bundle. Might try the one at a time approach. Yes, I just inserted the Studio 8 cd-rom and select the Flash 8 download only it hangs in the installer application. No errors, it just says Application Not Responding-message.

Yeah, securing code in Flash Movie. Anyone know a good one for that beside of obfuscating it?

Re: [Flashcoders] OOP advice for game
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!
