[Flashcoders] frustrated with textFields: getting height while text isn't fully 'there'
This is totally driving me crazy.
I'm creating a textfield as a sub to another clip, setting it's width,
making it autosized, giving it a stylesheet. I then toss in it's
htmlText.
I just want to know if the darn thing is one or more lines. Trouble is
it's not reporting back properly...it seems as if it's just in the
middle of adjusting itself or something, as if I trace out a lot of
stuff, it works out fine. But I shut off tracing, and it stops
working.
For example:
var mTitle:TextField = mcTxt.createTextField(mc_title, 6, tR.x+20,
tR.y-14, 230, 0);
mTitle.autoSize = right;
mTitle.wordWrap=true;
mTitle.selectable=false;
mTitle.html = true;
mTitle.border=true;
mTitle.multiline = true;
mTitle.styleSheet =_global.gPrefs.CSS;
mTitle.htmlText = title;
fontsize = 30; // i know this
lCnt = (mTitle.textHeight/fontSize);
Sometimes lCnt works and sometimes it doesn't -- and I'm tracing out
all elements.
I've even tried to do something like
while(mTitle.htmlText!=title){
trace(not there);
}
But that doesn't work either.

[Flashcoders] math for getting textField's line number? ie height/(font.size+font.leading) ??
It's time for one of those brainfarts. I'm trying to position a textField's bottom in line with other textfields; I've added leading to all the textField's so my math is now off. All the single-line textFields are positioned properly, but the mutli-line textfields are not. In the one I'm testing out with, the font size is 30, and the leading is -10. So I did this: lineCount = (txt._height/(font.size + font.leading)) This never works for my example, ie ht = 70, size = 30, leading = -10 ie 70/(30+-10) == 1.6 What am I missing? ___ 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
[Flashcoders] stylesheets span and p
James O'Reilley was kind enough to begin writing a class for me that splits htmlText via '/p' and then, based on stylesheets, if the class for that p has a bottomspacing, it will move the next textfield down. This works perfectly except that the text p class='xxx' also shifts the text down in the textfield, so it looks like there's even a larger spacing. I've tried making them span instead of p, but the text in the textfield is still shifting down as if there's a p around it. ___ 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

[Flashcoders] another CSS / htmlText question
Got another CSS/htmlText flash question. What I've been working with is this: I've got a screen layout program that allows the client to select background images, and how many columns they want. Then, when any column is selected they get a live input textbox they can put in the text they want for that column. They can select a section of text they want to apply a style. I've got all this working fabulously - ie even with the focus going off because of the combobox. What I'm doing is calling a function that gets the begin..endIndex of the textbox and applies the chose textFormat by setNewTextFormat; it then sends the changed htmlText to the screen's textbox. Well, now I want to change to CSS rather than saving the styles (which will allow me to change things later). I want to be able to select the text ie 'bob says hi' and add the selected CSS stylename such as txt = p class='+name+' + selectedTextString + /p. This is all easy to do the first time - the selected section gets replaced with this and the htmlText gets set. But since the preview box can have OTHER htmlText -- well, if I'm getting the string based on the TEXT of a member; how can I get the correct offset from the htmlText of a member? do a substring with the actual selected string? Is that the only way? ___ 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

Trouble is with the appendFile in a loop, there's no return whether it's successful or not, so I'm going on to the next append while the previous one is still running. Someone from the director list gave me this: you could just save the xml as a couple of temporary files that are all under 50 k, e.g. as chunk1.txt, chunk2.txt, ..., chunkn.txt, and then in second step, use mdm.System.execStdOut(copy chunk1.txt +chunk3.txt ... +chunkn.txt new.xml) to assemble the chunks to one large xml-file. mdm.System.execStdOut() doesn't return before the command was really executed, so no problems here. afterwards you can use mdm.System.execStdOut(del chunk*.txt) to delete all temporary chunks at once. ___ 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

[Flashcoders] advice needed: textformatting or css?
Ok - I've got this kiosk application I'm building - there's a playback and there's a builder. The builder has a lot of textformatting going on. Up to now I've been allowing the client to put in their text into a textfiled, select a pulldown and it automatically inserts the correct textformatting. However, since I'm saving all this textformatting to an xml file embedded in a CDATA file, if there's a problem with the textformat, then I'm screwed. One of the biggest problems that has been pointed out is that there is no way of setting more 'space after a paragraph' that you can do in photoshop. I'm starting to think that I should do it all as CSS, so that if i use an external CSS file, and put class around the selected/edited text, it's not saved with the xml and I can massage it afterwards. But is it also possible to do a 'space after paragraph' setting in css for flash text?

[Flashcoders] phantom flash class instance
Ok, this is a flash question I've got a class I'm using in an app - it's really simple, just is a 'slideshow' type class; it gets a list of images and cycles through them as a slideshow with an interval between. Now it's being used in a movieclip that is in turn being loaded in a Window component. When a user clicks the window component close button, I've got it unloading the movieclip instance; but the slideshow class still tries to continue cycling through it's images array -- ie it's 'instance' is still going even though the movieclip that birthed it is gone. For example: the slideshow class, upon birth, gets it's 'owner/parent' movieclip upon it's birth. It then creates a new movieclip (myBack) and starts attaching jpgs to the myBack instance. When the main screen movieclip in the Window instance is removed, myBack no longer has a _url because it doesn't exist. I thought I could use the fact that myBack==undefined to clearInterval() and stop the phantom slideshow, but it doesn't stop. So how does one 'unload' a class, or really, a class instance? ___ 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

[Flashcoders] Re: zinc kills a variable with a new String()?
Of course, the var i fixed it (in the 'for') -- but I don't get why it
blewup; I've noticed this elsewhere too today.
Say I had a function that calls a subfunction, ie
mainStuff = function(){
for(i=0; itheList.length; i++){
ret = subStuff(tList[i]);
}
}
subStuff = function(which){
for(i=0; iwhich.length; i++){
//whatever
}
}
I noticed that 'i' would get shared across the instances, that it wouldn't
work. ie it would work in mainstuff, bounce to subStuff which would iterate
more, get mainStuff confused, etc.
This is in direct violation to what the local var should be, no? I mean,
I've never experienced that before.

Ok - I've got this class -- it's really a sort of 'column text' class for laying out nice stylized text -- the user can choose how many columns there are onscreen. Now I won't get into all the specifics, but there's a background color that's being drawn based on how much text is in a column; and whatever column has the longest text, then all x columns should draw their backgrounds to meet that _bottom (height) amount, dig? So I'm making the 'backHeight' variable static so it's shared among x instances of the class, but I'd like when one class instance redraws itself, all the instances redraw their backgrounds. I have the function working with instances, but I can't make it static as instance variables aren't allowed. Should I either: a) create a static function that calls instance functions (?) b) have a static array that each instance adds itself too, and the currently edited column instances calls each instance function based on the array? c) there's another better way I'm not getting? ___ 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

[Flashcoders] way to get textFileld's line count?
I've got textFields using html text that I need to get an accurate way of finding the line count...I got it working when I knew the size of the font attributed to that textField, but with one field it can have multiple formats. It's been a long tired weekend of sleepless coding, so I'm going to try doing it myself, but if someone has an answer...

[Flashcoders] weird htmlText problem...
Ok, I've got a class that I've used that all it does is take in a
string of htmlText, create a textfield and apply it. But something is
happening that is killing the text for some reason;
If I send INTO the function this htmlText:
TEXTFORMAT LEADING=-5P ALIGN=RIGHTFONT
FACE=QuadraatSans-Regular SIZE=30 COLOR=#00
LETTERSPACING=0
KERNING=0whatever/FONT/P/TEXTFORMATTEXTFORMAT
LEADING=-5P ALIGN=RIGHTFONT FACE=QuadraatSans-Regular
SIZE=30 COLOR=#00 LETTERSPACING=0
KERNING=0man/FONT/P/TEXTFORMAT
A textfield is created and applied, but then it turns into:
TEXTFORMAT LEADING=-5P ALIGN=RIGHTFONT
FACE=QUADRAATSANS-REGULAR SIZE=30 COLOR=#00
LETTERSPACING=0 KERNING=0WHATEVERMAN/FONT/P/TEXTFORMAT
and I can't figure out why.
Here's the code of the function:
function drawTitle(tTxt:String){
title = tTxt.toUpperCase();
if(!mcTxt){mcTxt = myMC.createEmptyMovieClip(boxes, 5)};
var tR:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0,0, 250,50);
if(_global.gApp.elements.length5){
var tOffY = 350;
}else{
var tOffY = 175;
}
var tOff:Point = new Point((myRect.xMax-tR.width),
(tOffY-tR.height));
tR.offsetPoint(tOff);
// have to draw textField and make set width, extend bottom
// then move up so bottom hits the correct bottom box,
// then decide to draw 50 or 75
var mTitle:TextField=mcTxt.createTextField(mc_title, 7,
tR.x+22,
tR.y-14, 214, 0);
mTitle.embedFonts = true;
//mTitle.setNewTextFormat(_global.gPrefs.tfTitle);
mTitle.autoSize=right;
mTitle.html = true;
mTitle.htmlText =title;

[Flashcoders] help with embedding fonts/using textformat?
Hey all. I'm attempting to use some embedded fonts with Flash, and it just doesn't seem to be working. In the library I've added a new font, selected the font I wanted to use and called it 'Q_Body_Text'. I then have this test script: tBodyText = new TextFormat(); tBodyText.font = Q_Body_Text; tBodyText.size=20; tBodyText.leading=2; tBodyText.align=2; tBodyText.multiline=true; tBodyText.wordWrap=true; tBodyText.color=0xFF; this.createTextField(txt,2, 140,300,200,100); txt.text=Join artist Virgil Ortiz ; txt.setTextFormat(tBodyText); I've also got 2 regular static text boxes with the same text as test, one as the pre-embedded/library font (ie QuadraatSansCon-Regular) and the other as the embedded library font. The embedded library font static text and the dynamically created textfield have matching fonts, but the ACTUAL font is different.

[Flashcoders] Re: Re: creating CDATA tags on the fly...
Now I'm not only TALKING to myself while I work...I'm emailing my self too! :P If someone can point out what I'm doing wrong here - I thought I've finally hacked a way of using CDATA on the fly: - when adding a new CDATA node I add a new element/textnode with something as a flag to parse for (ie ###) - flip the xml toString() - split with that flag (###) - glue the CDATA together with array[0] + CDATA + array[1] All this successfully gives me an xml string with CDATA in it. NOW if I throw it back into a new XML(theTxt), this changes all the special characters of the XML into urlencoded characters (quot;)but if I take that node and unescape it's nodeValue, it's actually correct, like so: TEXTFORMAT LEADING=2P ALIGN=LEFTFONT FACE=verdana SIZE=14 COLOR=#003366 LETTERSPACING=0 KERNING=0I am bSUCH/ban asshole!/FONT/P/TEXTFORMAT ___ 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

I'm having a bit of a problem both getting and setting htmlText in a textfield in Flash. I've done this previously but can't figure out what the problem is...

Not a big deal. The problem is that even in the most basic tests -- creating an inputText, making sure it's html property is true, then doing something as simple as box.htmlText = bWhat/b is iWRONG/i with this?!?; That gives me: is with this?!? In the textfield, skipping the bold and italic bits. I've even made sure that it had imported all of the font, and it was using Arial anyway.

Re: RE: [Flashcoders] htmlText, CDATA and inputText fun...
No - the field's not masked; turns out I have to import all the states ie bold, italic, etc, for some reason. But the bigger thing is this: I know I've seen examples of flash being used as word processors - ie ways of setting formatting on text. If I've got that, how can I save that info to be loaded in again? I can't dump it into a CDATA because Flash doesn't load in the information properly (ie it changes html brackets to amp; equiv). I'm guessing that if I want to have one xml that I load in, I'll have to do pointers to individual .html text files? ___ 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

[Flashcoders] NumericStepper in CellRender disappears and gets 256 levels of recursion...
Hey all --
I'm using a NumericStepper in a CellRender and I'm getting some kind of
weirdness when I'm clicking on it - it dissappears while I'm stepping
up/down, and if I hold it down I get the '256 levels of recursion' happening
in it.
In the .as file I've got the change happenining in there - so obviously when
I'm pressing it down it's always changing -- but where else should I do it?
public function change() {
listOwner.dataProvider.editField(getCellIndex().itemIndex,
getDataLabel(), step.value);
setValue(step.value, item, true);
//listOwner.dispatchEvent({type:cellEdit});
//listOwner.dataProvider[getCellIndex().itemIndex][getDataLabel()] =
step.value;

[Flashcoders] bitmapdata question / attachBitmap
Hey - I'm merely curious...
Say I do this:
tPhoto = pGui.thisScreen.createEmptyMovieClip(photoMC,
pGui.thisScreen.getNextHighestDepth(),{_alpha:0});
tPhoto.cacheAsBitmap=true;
bkgrnd = new BitmapData(1, 1, false, 0x00FF, {_alpha:0});
tPhoto.attachBitmap(bkgrnd, 1);
Now, say later, in some other function, I want to change this
bitmapData but I don't have a reference to it (other than the above
'temp' tPhoto) -- can I actually 'get' this bitmapData again through
some other means, or do I ALWAYS have to have a variable/ref to it?
Not sure if I'm explaining right: but as I have a ref to
pGui.thisScreen, which is a movieclip, and then 'photoMC' is a
movieclip in that, then I'm attachBitmap to photoMC ---
mainClip
-photoMC
- bitMapData
Does that make any sense?

[Flashcoders] video card suggestions: tearing animations
Hey all - I've got an application I'm building that is using a digital signage system as an animated menu system, using 2 cards for a 3 LCD output. I'm seeing some TERRIBLE tearing during the animations. At first I thought it was the LCD screen; but swapping in a CRT and I still see the problem. The two cards an Nvidia GeforceFX 540 and an Nvidia Geforce FX5200. I've read recently in a review aobut the 5200: For the long period of its development and short life, the GeForce FX 5200 has changed the recommended clock speeds for the core and memory at least 10 times. The problem is the first tests of pre-production samples demonstrated a performance so astonishingly low that it would be out of the question and even fatal to launch video cards in such a bad condition on to the market. So my question is: I need 3 outputs -- PCI slots -- to drive 3 lcds at 1280x768.

[Flashcoders] BUG: setMask calls onLoadInit (or setting a mask?)
Ok, I've discovered the problem I was having previously -- to sum up, I have a .swf movie that plays beautifully on its own. I then started coding a shell to, on different durations (setInterval) load in this and other .swf into a movieclip. I've been VERY careful about scope issues, not doing anything in _root, but each 'sub' flash has it's own named movieclip to load all it's do-dads. The SHELL movie uses a MovieClipLoader to load in each of the subclips, and it's main object, gPlay (a global) has a gPlay.onLoadInit(ev) as it's listener. When the SUBCLIP does a SETMASK on some movies, they trigger the gPlay.onLoadInit !!! Now, here's the interesting tracing: SETIMAGE MASK SETMASK_level0.mc_1048578.imageL X: true IN TF SETIMAGE MASK SETMASK_level0.mc_1048577.imageL X: true IN TF SETIMAGE MASK SETMASK_level0.mc_1048576.imageL X: true 7459 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 7459 EV _level0.mc_1048578 mc_1048578 7459 7459 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 7459 EV _level0.mc_1048577 mc_1048577 7459 7459 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 7459 EV _level0.mc_1048576 mc_1048576 7459 startItem So it seems that the mc_1048576 is a new movie that is created based on the setMask and then triggers any 'onLoadInit' --- ??? WAIT: In the subclip I've set 'this._lockroot = true' as a test. I've changed any 'setMask' to manually masking in the timeline. I'm still getting something weird: EV _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 mc_1 7347 7527 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 7527 EV _level0.mc_1048578 mc_1048578 7527 7527 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 7527 EV _level0.mc_1048577 mc_1048577 7527 7527 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_1 7527 EV _level0.mc_1048576 mc_1048576 7527 startItem POS: 0 SUBIMAGE _level0.mainWindow.mc_2 14402 dispItem _level0.mainWindow.mc_2 14402 EV _level0.mainWindow.mc_2 mc_2 14402 startItem POS: 1 SUBIMAGE _level0.mainWindow. ___ 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
[Flashcoders] Re: BUG: setMask calls onLoadInit (or setting a mask?)
Just for FYI - there are NO AS2 components in these movies - the one that DID only had a Loader in the library.

Sigh. I'm an arse. It must be the two days of programming. I mistakenly gave the subclips loader the main clips global object. Of COURSE that would work the way it is.

[Flashcoders] dataGrid custom cellRender with image of external image?
Hey all - I'm trying to script a custom cellrender with a datagrid; I'm successfully passing in the local file path of an external file, but this filepath won't work in a cellrender -- either as a loadmovie or as a Loader contentPath -- yet the same loadMovie works outside of a cellRender with no problems... I'm basically trying to do a file listing app that shows a preview of an image that is external to the application...can't figure out why it won't work in a dataGrid.

[Flashcoders] Transition Manager problems
I've got what should seem simple - 3 different slideshows on the stage being fed from an xml file -- for some reason they're glitching out -- I'm thinking it's because of TransitionManager losing scope?

[Flashcoders] Re: mProjector and recursive files...
Actually found one on Beam Jive's weblog, but something about it is wrong: http://www.beamjive.com/weblog.php?a=1id=112 ___ 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
[Flashcoders] files and folder run: the dreaded triple F
I'm sure others can point out how to fix this; I'm using mProjector to
get a folder and file structure, hopeing to get a recursive
folder/file read working -- I'm using mProjector for this..
I know EXACTLY where the problem lies, but can't figure out a remedy
for it...(I'm using debug as a trace to a text box).
Originally from BeamJive
(http://www.beamjive.com/weblog.php?a=1id=112) the basics didn't
work; it seemed to call the recursive function on folders but only
listed the top level:
function listDirectories(dir:String, retData:String):String {
// First list the folders
var folders:Array = mFile.listFolders(dir);
for (var i:Number = 0; ifolders.length; i++) {
debug(found dir named: + folders[i]);
retData += node type='1' label='+folders[i]+';
next lines the problem lies
retData= listDirectories(dir+/+folders[i], retData);
retData += /node;
}
// And then the files
var files:Array = mFile.listFiles(dir);
debug(dir ++ files.length);
for (var i:Number = 0; ifiles.length; i++) {
debug( --+ files[i]);
retData += node type='0' label='+files[i]+' /;
}
return (retData);
}
---]
So I took the above, changed the middle part to:
tmp= listDirectories(dir+/+folders[i], retData);
retData += +tmp+ /node;
ARGH. I've tried flipping folder read and file read around (ie files
first, then folder).
I've tried various versions of reading the retData and appending, or
retData = the next listDirectories (since I'm SENDING retData in the
call -- but nothing I do is working properlyand felling incredibly
stupid on this one as I've done it before in Director...

Re: [Flashcoders] easy to implement a* flash classes?
Thanks all -- Franto yours is the way I want to go - but how can I modify your code for a bigger map? Meaning I've got a HUGE bitmap that I want to create a matrix for -- and rather than the 8x8 tile I'm thinking something much larger, ie 50x50 blocks - so I modified the mc's to be 50x50 -- also changed the code from '_y*8' to *50, but it's all discombobulatedis it something within th mousedown and the 3 that I have to change? Also - do the wall blocks HAVE to be there in order for it to function - or the map.as is enough (was going to make an invisible wall block if it had to be there) And finally another question: is there a way off the top of you head that I could actually use the yellow/drawn line as a guide for an animation? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] windows flash standalone able to export standalonefile?
Yeah; I thought about a 'player only' exe that would load in an external xml I create (since that's how it's working internally) -- the trouble is that they wanted it to be 'packaged' for playback; my original thought was using the QTXtra to export a full Quicktime movie with all the slides as one quicktime - but to go full on Flash (and flv) would negate that entirely. I had thought I could use the F8 filters as well as part of the new version - but since Director doesn't support that, only MX, that kills that as well. So my choices are: a) flash plays in director shell and export talks to Director, exports packaged zip with player and external media, xml of slideshow, MX only effects b) cut up the interface so that it's half flash and half Director, and export Quicktime movie as the slideshow; becomes a bit of a pita as Flash and Quicktime (on the stage) can't share the same rects without some hassle. c) have 2 different video files - flv and quicktime externally; user sees flv but when they make an export I deal wtih the QT assets and export QT. MX effects only but no Quicktime/Flash bothering. d) A guiliess director app launches an F8 projector and they speak to each other through a localconnection, same type as c. So it might still be possible... Thanks. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] windows flash standalone able to export standalone file?
Hey all - I have to recreate a Director app/dvd I've done a few times -- it's basically a presentation creation engine that allows one to pick slides and video and create their own small presentation. The client wants the ability to export standalone files, so I was exporting quicktime moves from the app. I'd prefer to use Flash only (for Flash 8) or if I had to Flash in a Director shell -- but if I was considering a windows only application done entirely in Flash, would there be any shell that can be used to export either video ro another .swf? Thanks all. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
