Re: [Flashcoders] Where is everyone
I've done no complex Flash for a couple years and also can find answers to my problems on stackexchange and blogs much easier than a few years ago. On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 12:10 PM, John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Where is everyone
Hi John, I have no idea where everyone goes to discus flash topics, but I know for me, I depend on StackOverflow.com. A question for you though since you wrote and I know you do a lot AIR. I took it upon myself to leverage WordPress as a CMS platform and use AIR for the mobile front end. AIR is essentially the shell and WordPress is the content. I'm making what is essentially a Whisper app clone. I have a big decision though and I'm not sure what direction to go. It has to with StageWebView. StageWebView is in many ways limiting, but if I used it to display content, development would be more rapid and I could more easily take advantage of open source tools. The main trade off is a little less refined control over cosmetics and user experience. Then again, with CSS3 and recent improvements, it's a now a little easier to create a unique experience with HTML/JavaScript. Alternatively, I'm finding it relative easy to access and load WordPress data into AIR via JSON, but displaying what may be 1000's of posts requires a lot of code and thought. WordPress makes it so you hardly have to think about this in StageWebView. For instance, AIR has no native kinetic scrolling. I've found a good library which I'm now using, but at the cost of 5 or 6 hours research. StageWebView would have solved it instantly. What do you do? I hope everyone is having a nice holiday. Sorry to hijack your thread, but with so little activity on this mailing list I thought it made sense. Thank you, Kurt On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 1:10 PM, John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Where is everyone
Hi, I’m afraid I won’t be much help to you. I really don’t do any web development anymore. I think the last time was 2013 (maybe). I build pure applications that run on PC/MAC/IOS/ANDROID. They are only use net connections to pull data, but minimally. My games are self-contained, tracking and all. The marketing, training and/or presentational pieces are installed corporate side, so I really don’t have a solution or even a suggestion for you. So very sorry, I’m not more help. I just came across www.krupa.com and their forums are current, so you might try there. Hi-jacking is a good thing if you get some help or a suggestion. :) H:)ppy Thanksgiving and I’ll check out StackOverFlow again. It’s been awhile, since I’ve visited that site, so I’ll have to catch up. Later, John John R.

What's broken in yours specifically? Two just hang with a black screen, two hang on the opening screen. I think that a rebuild with Flash CC and the current version of Air for IOS should sort it out. Here's an update. Flash CC did sort it out but caused a new problem - Flash CC no longer supports TLF text, so all of the TLF text was converted to classic flash text. Unfortunately, it changed size and layout in the conversion and so I've had to revisit all TLF text. The conversion goes to static text, all of the named TLF text then was dangling in code..

Re: [Flashcoders] 1086 syntax error expecting semicolon before leftbrace
I managed to isolate a small part of the project and copied it to a new project - just to experiment. Running as AS2 lost the problematic error completely. Running again as AS3 saw it restored. Despite the compiler saying that it ignores actionscript attached to symbols, that seems to be the problem. Removing an on (release) handler in the AS2 code sees the error go away when building as an AS3 project.

[Flashcoders] Datagrid cell focus
I would like to try my question again too; FlashPro CS6, using pure .as3 code; I have a 6 column DataGrid. 4 of the columns use the normal TextField, and they work fine. On 2 of the columns I have set up a custom cell renderer, using the normal *public class MyCellRenderer extends CellRenderer implements ICellRenderer * The custom cells display their information fine, but they do not fire *DataGridEvent.ITEM_FOCUS_IN *or Flash Datagrid *DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGIN * These columns are marked c4.editable = true; What am I missing here to get these events to be fired off?

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR native extension - Windows debugging
I shall attempt a Dr. Who re-juvination (re-incarnation) into a multi-brained octopus! Although I am familiar with how PHP/HTML/JS/CSS work together, its amazing that all these other elements can also work together and that Phonegap can wrap your code the way it does. Thanks very much for that. If its the way for me to go I have a lot to find out. I will have a look at Phonegap. On the other hand, I wonder what IDE other people are using for to publish in AIR. I really don't want a subscription service like CC. Much appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR native extension - Windows debugging
Oh it is a spaghetti mix of code. But that's not necessarily evil. Think about it this way, you're not really supposed to be mixing them, they are supposed to be complimenting each other. Your HTML defines your content, and that's it. Your CSS adds fonts, colors, positioning, and simple interactivity, that's it. Your JS adds logic to your project. So you're not actually mixing everything together, you're leveraging each one to add an integral piece to your project. You may take on all these jobs yourself, or you may not. Some companies have frontend developers who do HTML/CSS and dedicated Javascript developers to only do JS. It's a different way of thinking than using one platform for everything. It can be unnerving trying to keep up with all of the new JS frameworks that are constantly coming up, and even worse trying to integrate them all. Trust me, I get paid to do it. Fortunately there's a massive community to fall back on when it comes to troubleshooting. If you're building Flex apps you'd definitely like Angular, which you would use with Cordova to publish to iPad. Basically, Cordova is part of Phonegap, which is a build system for deploying to mobile devices. Phonegap will wrap your code in a native app with a web view, so it's essentially a website being viewed in an app. Cordova is a javascript library that exposes all the native APIs of iOS/Android, so now your app can do much more than a website. I have used XCode on a Mac to test my Phonegap apps. IIRC, the native wrapper isn't changing, only the internal HTML/CSS/JS, so you don't have to compile like you would with a native app. I also used this to my advantage by building parts of the app in-browser. You could use Angular to structure your app in a MVC-like pattern, and then use Phonegap to deploy it. Also, I've switched to using Sublime Text 3 as my editor of choice, and I can't recommend it enough. Hopefully that helps!

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR native extension - Windows debugging
The problem here is developers not stating what runtime they use for their apps. What can be done is checking existing apps for obvious signs of the runtime. Shouldn't take long for someone to crawl the appstore and check all the apps for the fingerprint of the runtime. John McCormack skriver: There may have been some merit in Apple's battery argument since greater cpu activity, for Flash's vector format, might incur a greater energy cost. Although Flash is having a hard time I was thinking more of using AIR, which I think has more life left in it. The thing is, I have no idea how active developers are with app's delivered via AIR. Are there many AIR app's being produced? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] AIR native extension - Windows debugging
Ever wanted to play with classics like ReadProcessMemory in Actionscript? Now you can! I have written an ANE that exposes the Windows debugging API for use in ActionScript. It comes with a asdoc reference manual for easy API learning. It allows access to everything you'd expect from a basic debugger as well as from an advanced debugger. You can control memory, work with breakpoints, deal with debugging events and more! The underlaying C code exposes a shocking 56 functions for use in actionscript. This is the complete debugging solution. It's still beta, but please check it out. http://www.henke37.cjb.net/windebug/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Giving dynamic object a custom variable
It's not that difficult if you do it right. First, I'm not a fan of timeline code except for defining sections, such as stop on a keyframe, and minor control commands like gotoAndStop and gotoAndPlay. The rest I like to do in an external ActionScript file. I haven't used the Flash IDE in 3-4 years--I use Flex and FlashBuilder almost exclusively now--but let's see what I can remember. First, when you create the movie clip, click Export for ActionScript. Let's say your mc is called movingSprite. It will have a class name of movingSprite. You can change that if you want. If you already have the mc in the library, right-click and choose properties. That will bring up the same dialog--check Export for ActionScript. In the Properties tab (often called the Property Inspector), declare a document class. That just means the class that will run when you launch the movie. Let's call it myDocClass. Now create the document class. Choose File - New... and choose ActionScript Class. Name it myDocClass, and Flash will create a new actionScript class file. Create another class file and name it movingSprite.as. Now you can create an instance of the movie clip and assign it variables. I wouldn't do that in the document class, though. I would declare them in the class file. Cordially, Kerry Thompson On Fri, Aug 15, 2014 at 2:23 PM, Ted Lehr t...@qvine.com wrote: How can I create a variable in a dynamic object?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML
I second the GSAP proposal, and regarding point 3) I never had Haxe rebuild my HTML file, so I am wondering how this happened. Since I told you I would show my tests with HTML5 vs Flash, here they are: FLASH http://www.benga.li/mcd/versailles/banner_de_chili_1600x490.html HTML http://www.benga.li/mcd/versailles/html5/royal.html The only remaining Flash advantage lies on the size of the overall production. This was done using Haxe (for HTML5) and Haxe/Flash for Flash part. Le 8 août 2014 à 01:46, David Cohn d...@eyebright.com a écrit : Hey all, I've been looking a bit at CreateJS and Haxe/OpenFL, and since the question was asked a while ago, and the list is rather slow, I thought I'd share some further thoughts... I've decided to go with CreateJS for now. I was very excited about Haxe, especially from the point of view of one source for multiple platforms, but for heavily interactive Flash-style projects it just doesn't seem to be quite there yet. I'd love to be proven wrong(!), but here are the shortcomings that I've found in my brief look: 1. Sprite/Bitmap detection -- it looks like mouse detection is on the bounding box, so e.g. rollovers on arbitrarily shaped bitmaps is impossible. (Well, you may be able to use hitTestPoint and some fancy gyrations, but... eeech.) 2. Filter support -- seems weak and limited; e.g. GlowFilter isn't available for the HTML5 target. 3. Ease of developing -- relatively minor, and single-source across targets would easily outweigh this. But with Haxe, firstly you have an extra step (the build). Then, Haxe seems somewhat monolithic: it's good for handling the core interactive canvas area, but the HTML has to live in a separate file: Haxe rebuilds the HTML file each time and there doesn't seem to be a good way to preserve custom HTML in the same file between builds. Again, not a show-stopper, but I find workflow quicker without the build, and editing the HTML/JS directly. CreateJS seems to work well across all browsers I've tested on so far (with, of course, the exception of IE8)... as did Haxe. There may be retorts for all these criticisms, since I've only looked so far... please feel free to contradict me!

Hmmm... that's very strange re: the HTML file-- but it's definitely getting rebuilt during the build process. Are you modifying the index.html file in the Export/html5/bin directory? Anyway, as I said, this is the least important gripe... I'll take a further look at greensock-- it look especially good for complex animation, whereas I often do complex interactions. It doesn't seem as much directed towards mouse/touch detection/dragging for canvas elements (although it looks like tweaking Draggable may allow that)...

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML
Hey all, I've been looking a bit at CreateJS and Haxe/OpenFL, and since the question was asked a while ago, and the list is rather slow, I thought I'd share some further thoughts... I've decided to go with CreateJS for now. I was very excited about Haxe, especially from the point of view of one source for multiple platforms, but for heavily interactive Flash-style projects it just doesn't seem to be quite there yet. I'd love to be proven wrong(!), but here are the shortcomings that I've found in my brief look: 1. Sprite/Bitmap detection -- it looks like mouse detection is on the bounding box, so e.g. rollovers on arbitrarily shaped bitmaps is impossible. (Well, you may be able to use hitTestPoint and some fancy gyrations, but... eeech.) 2. Filter support -- seems weak and limited; e.g. GlowFilter isn't available for the HTML5 target. 3. Ease of developing -- relatively minor, and single-source across targets would easily outweigh this. But with Haxe, firstly you have an extra step (the build). Then, Haxe seems somewhat monolithic: it's good for handling the core interactive canvas area, but the HTML has to live in a separate file: Haxe rebuilds the HTML file each time and there doesn't seem to be a good way to preserve custom HTML in the same file between builds. Again, not a show-stopper, but I find workflow quicker without the build, and editing the HTML/JS directly. CreateJS seems to work well across all browsers I've tested on so far (with, of course, the exception of IE8)... as did Haxe. There may be retorts for all these criticisms, since I've only looked so far... please feel free to contradict me!

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML
@Cedric, Finally got a chance to play around a bit with Haxe-- really looks promising! I'm wondering how you approach combining HTML with the more complex Flash-style content-- do you compile your Haxe files and then add the appropriate div's etc into a separate HTML file? I.e. it looks like Haxe is best used to embed (canvas) content, rather than for full page display? If this is so, have you played around with multiple canvases on a single page? ...and thanks for lead! I'm looking forward to investigating further... --Dave On Jun 23, 2014, at 9:00 AM, flashcoders-requ...@chattyfig.figleaf.com wrote: @David: You can render HTML5 in openGL with Haxe/OpenFL. OpenGL is default on all teh native targets, the html5 target is still not 100% there, but there's a new backend for it which has improved things massively. Bitmap animation is no problem, either using OpenFL or the createJS extensions if you just want to ttarget JS. You can compile your Haxe code to AS3, not just to a swf if you want. Coming from AS3 their are tools to convert your AS3 to Haxe, in general these are good, but don't expect to port a massive codebase over withtou getting your hands dirty. Yes you can compile to PHP for your server side work, or nodeJS, Neko, C++, C#, Java and there's a Python target too now :) This is my favourite thing abotu Haxe, writing for server and client in the same language. You can communicate via remoting, sockets, whatever, and you use the EXACT SAME classes at either end. Not 2 diff represetations, or a 3rd protocol just to communicate. You can also easily move logic from client to server and back depending on where it fits best etc. It's awesome :) @Cedric: Nice to see you on board the Haxe train!

Re: [Flashcoders] Html coding: video for iPad and Flash on one page
That is a relative url. So the videos need to be in the same directory as the
javascript file or you need to give it the correct path.
Was it my url that didn't work? It worked on my iPhone. I do not have an iPad
to test with.
Contact me off list and we will finish discussing it. I only posted here
because the code was working for me.

without JavaScript unfortunately does not work. It would be nice because it
is shorter way.

This assumes that all mobile devices are incapable of Flash. That's patently false. It also ignores the issue of non-mobile devices that doesn't support Flash. natalia Vikhtinskaya skriver: Here is the code that I use (thank you Karl) and it works.

You can also chek for individual devices by just calling any of the
following...
isMobile.Android()
isMobile.BlackBerry()
isMobile.iOS()
isMobile.Windows()
isMobile.Symbian()
You can also add your own deviced if you know the userAgent. Just add it
to the array! :)
Now, this does not check if flash is installed. I have the old skool
flash
fallback for that and
a link to the html 5 page in there as well so if they know they have a
html5 compatible
desktop browser, they can just click that if they don't what to install
flash per se.

Re: [Flashcoders] Html coding: video for iPad and Flash on one page
Thank you for this information. What if I need
if support flash{

} else {
//code for video

How to solve that?

Do not sniff for user agents! What will your code do when someone uses the
next iPhone? Or if they have opera installed on their amazon fire? You can
not predict what user agent strings will look like in the future, and are
bound to serve up the wrong content to the wrong people.
This problem has been solved by JS developers, and it's called feature
detection. Instead of relying upon user agent sniffing, check whether the
browser supports video tags.
This library is all you need. http://modernizr.com/
Then you can simply do:
if(Modernizr.video){
//code to show html5 video
} else {
//code to show flash video
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Html coding: video for iPad and Flash on one page
Well, it may not be the best solution, but technically my code is not sniffing
the userAgent the way your implying, it's sniffing for a device name in the
userAgent string. Doesn't matter what version of iPhone you have because the
name iPhone will always be in the userAgent string for a web browser on an
iPhone. Same with the name windows, android, Symbian etc etc. If I were
sniffing the userAgent string for a browser version I would agree with you. My
script has survived three iPhones so far. :) But I will look into your
suggestion. Thank you.

Karl

You don't embed QuickTime for iOS, you use the html5 video tag.
Whatever solution you use should do that when flash isn't detected.

But unfortunately that does not work.
Can anybody give me an advice what is the correct way for this task?
Thank you very much in advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] Html coding: video for iPad and Flash on one page
ok. I use now
div id=video style=display:none
video id=example_video_1 class=video-js width=900 height=575
controls preload=auto poster=video.png/video
/div
I tested on Windows - just blank page. It seems does not like
style=display:none but I don't know another solition.

You don't embed QuickTime for iOS, you use the html5 video tag.
Whatever solution you use should do that when flash isn't detected.

Re: [Flashcoders] Html coding: video for iPad and Flash on one page
I need play video only for iPad and other devices that does not support Flash. Does this code do that? 2014-07-20 19:51 GMT+04:00 Micky Hulse mickyhulse.li...@gmail.com: On Sun, Jul 20, 2014 at 8:41 AM, natalia Vikhtinskaya natavi.m...@gmail.com wrote: I tested on Windows - just blank page.
