Re: [Flashcoders] Creating a scrollable list: adding components tothe scrollpane contents
the problem I think is related to
var item = listContainer.createClassObject(symbolName,
instanceName,
this.getNextHighestDepth(), props);
you shoul let DepthManager manage the Depth
var item = listContainer.createClassChildAtDepth(symbolName, instanceName,
DepthManager.kTop, props);

Couldn't you put the list component in a movieclip and add attach the
movieclip to the scrollPane (which is a lot easier).
Also, what is your 'createUniqueInstanceName()' function ?
Matt Bennett wrote:
Hello Flashcoders,
I'm building a scrollable list, and I keep track of the list items
with a Collection. I'm having trouble adding items to it - I think I'm
overwriting some instance variables somewhere.
In the code below, listContainer is a reference to the contents of a
ScrollPane component:
var listContainer = scrollPane.content;
Here's my function to add a list item:
function addListItem(symbolName, props)
{
// Create the content (instance name: _itemX)
var instanceName = this.createUniqueInstanceName();
var item = listContainer.createClassObject(symbolName,
instanceName,
this.getNextHighestDepth(), props);
//add to list items
listItems.addItem(item);
trace();
trace(debugging addItem);
var iterator = listItems.getIterator();
while(iterator.hasNext()) {
var thisitem = iterator.next();
trace(this item: +thisitem+; type:
+thisitem.className);
}
trace();
return item;
}
After adding 3 items, the debug trace looks like this:
debugging addItem
this item: ; type: undefined
this item: ; type: undefined
this item: _level0.QUESTION
PAD.contentWidget.questionList.scrollPane.spContentHolder._item2;
type: View
I assumed that I was overwriting an instance name somewhere, but I
also traced the contents of listContainer with a for-in loop. This is
the output after the first item is added:
this item: 2441; type: undefined; text: undefined
...other irrelevant stuff
this item: true; type: undefined; text: undefined
this item: _level0.QUESTION
PAD.contentWidget.questionList.scrollPane.spContentHolder._item0;
type: View; text: question 1
And this the output after the second item is added:
this item: 2441; type: undefined; text: undefined
...other irrelevant stuff
this item: true; type: undefined; text: undefined
this item: _level0.QUESTION
PAD.contentWidget.questionList.scrollPane.spContentHolder._item1;
type: View; text: question 2
So it looks to me like I'm actually overwriting each _itemX instance
on listContainer - and hence the references in the Collection become
null pointers.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Many thanks,
Matt.

[Flashcoders] xml Help ?
hi all,
I´m trying to build and xml data provider for a tree component, I´m using and
recursive approach to get folders and files from some path ( I use zinc
extensions and they work fine )
I get to transverse the folders structure, the tree shows all folders, and all
files, but all files are being attached to the first folder only ..
What I´ve been trying is to pass the last node.firstChild as the node for the
next iteration
but it doesn´t worl at all .
function listFolderContents (path:String, node:XMLNode)
{
var myFolders:Array = mdm.FileSystem.getFolderList (path);
//
for (var i = 0; i myFolders.length; i++)
{
debugArea.text += myFolders[i] + \n;
var myNodeFolder:XMLNode = myTreeDP.createElement (node);
myNodeFolder.attributes.label = myFolders[i];
myNodeFolder.attributes.url = fullPath;
node.appendChild (myNodeFolder);
//
listFolderContents (myFolders[i], node);
}
var myFiles = mdm.FileSystem.getFileList (path, *.jpg);
for (var j = 0; i myFiles.length; i++)
{
debugArea.text += path ++ myFiles[j] + \n;
var myNodeFile:XMLNode = myTreeDP.createElement (node);
myNodeFile.attributes.label = myFiles[j];
myNodeFile.attributes.url = path + myFiles[j];
node.firstChlid.appendChild (myNodeFile);
}
node = node.firstChild;
}
any ideas, please ?

Hi,
are you compiling in mtasc with the -mx flag? If so, the delegate class will
not be compiled into your swf and it will not work.
When I work with Mtasc (through FlashDevelop) i find it the easiest to use
an injection swf, but i dont know if that is an option for you.
If so, create an swf in flash, with :
import mx.utils.Delegate;
var cls0:Delegate;
on the root and export it.
Now when you use this swf as injection swf with mtasc you will be able to
use the Delegate class.

Hi João,
Mtasc is more strict with variable scope than MM's compiler.
If you want to use mtasc on MM's Delegate method you can rename the
variable
called func inside the dynamically created function in the
Delegate.create
method (that is two places exactly, and don't touch the line
arguments.callee.func). I can't quote MM's sourcecode here due to
copyright. Hope that helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] grabbing screen caps in FL8
Well
In the reference manual there is this example for the very start in
It draw 2 rectangle as BitmapDat and then copy from one to another . If
you suppose that one was the result of client actions you could copy part of it
but if you mean to get some file/image at client side, grabbing som part
from it or grabbing its screens and then upload to the server Í suppose you are
going to need somethink link Zinc ou ScreenWeaver to extend your flash app.
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.geom.Point;
var bitmapData_1:BitmapData = new BitmapData (100, 80, false, 0x00CC);
var bitmapData_2:BitmapData = new BitmapData (100, 80, false, 0x00FF);
var mc_1:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip (mc, this.getNextHighestDepth
());
mc_1.attachBitmap (bitmapData_1, this.getNextHighestDepth ());
var mc_2:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip (mc, this.getNextHighestDepth
());
mc_2.attachBitmap (bitmapData_2, this.getNextHighestDepth ());
mc_2._x = 101;
mc_1.onPress = function ()
{
bitmapData_2.copyPixels (bitmapData_1, new Rectangle (0, 0, 50, 80), new Point
(51, 0));
};
mc_2.onPress = function ()

Re: [Flashcoders] tweening multiple properties simultaneously
I did some tests here with one rectangle and I think it is related to the mc
origin point
When one tween scales it, it grows from its left upper corner but the
another tween doesn´t know about the changes and make the movement based
on the original position.
So you have to use onMotionChanged to get each ._width after each scale and
then center at the same time
João Carlos
function moveAndScaling (activeState:MovieClip)
{
// move it to the center of the stage.
var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween (activeState, _xscale, Regular.easeOut,
activeState._xscale, 200, 2, true);
var myTweenY:Tween = new Tween (activeState, _yscale, Regular.easeOut,
activeState._yscale, 200, 2, true);
//
myTweenX.onMotionChanged = function ()
{
var nX:Number = (Stage.width / 2) - activeState._width / 2;
var nY:Number = (Stage.height / 2) - activeState._height / 2;
activeState._x = nX;
activeState._y = nY;

Haven't followed the thread close, but maybe wrap it up in a static
class like this - call your custom function which has all the tweens
combined. This is what I do, works for me. Something like this:
//file Animate.as in actionscriptclasspath/com/boa/effects/

import mx.transitions.easing.*;
class com.boa.effects.Animate{
public static function myFade(clip:MovieClip, time:Number,
xscale:Number, yscale:Number):Array{

time, true);
var b:Object = new Tween(clip, _xscale, Regular.easeIn, xscale,
100, time, true);
var c:Object = new Tween(clip, _yscale, Regular.easeIn, yscale,
100, time, true);
//returnArray is just an array of the tweens
//so you can check to see if they are done:
var returnArray:Array = new Array(a,b,c)
return returnArray;
}
}
//.fla and/or other class usage:
import.com.boa.effects.Animate;
Animate.myFade(myClip, .5, 50, 50)

Hi João,
Mtasc is more strict with variable scope than MM's compiler.
If you want to use mtasc on MM's Delegate method you can rename the variable
called func inside the dynamically created function in the Delegate.create
method (that is two places exactly, and don't touch the line
arguments.callee.func). I can't quote MM's sourcecode here due to
copyright. Hope that helps.
Yours sincerely,

Re: [Flashcoders] sequential tweens ?
I think that there is time and occasion for each line of thought If you only want a serie of movements in time the solution proposed by Zeh is great and I tested it and it works fine, better would it be if he upgrade them to AS 2.0 and AS 3.0 -) But that are projects where we want some decision logic tree and solutions like those from Marty and Gerry seems more appropriate, in fact now that I begin to see the the problem clearer What I´d like to have to some suggestions is not to use some package like animationpackage ( it is fine the suggestion from marcelo serpa and I´m using it too) but as a provocative study matter how to develop one simple framework in terms I´ve thought first ( please excuse me if I´m tin the non-sense field here) From the framework´s user point of view he would only push Animation objects in some tree structure. and I begin wondering about to use some TREE to represent it where the nodes at the same level would be the Animation objects to run at the same time and going to low level the animation following the sequence from that node At first sight ( just exploring ideas) the Animation Class would have as properties the Object to be animated the desired Actions (Tween/Transition etc) Array to be applied to the Object Null/Child Animation Objects Array The logic I´d like to implement would the root object starts its job and when finished fire all ( if any ) its children nodes asynchronously and each node would wait the effect end before going down into low leves Does it maky sense ? -) João Carlos - Original Message - From: Martin Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 6:29 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] sequential tweens ? Martin, do not take this personally, I don't mean to sound rude or anything, I'm sorry in advance if I do, and your code totally makes logical sense and it's 100% correct, but... WHY would someone need so much code just to produce sequential tweenings? A bunch of specialized functions just to make it work? And then suppose he has an slightly different animation he wants to do at the same time, will he need new functions, or add parameters to those functions, and so long and so forth? Why something so convoluted for something so simple? Simply because the tweening doesn't support delays? :( don't worry i don't take it personally its only programming :) To me it doesn't seem complicated, just a couple of functions, nothing special in either function. If it doesn't fit the requirements, so be it. Sorry for the rant, but really, there's a moment you have to use the best tool for the task - and I don't mean only the easiest. The tweening classes included on Flash are cool and all that, but they're too basic, too raw. Why you'd need dozens of lines just to do something that can be done with one single line in a pretty straightforward way is beyond me. Most of the times I have to build sites, there's so much having to be animated correctly that if I resorted to functions and complex callbacks any time I needed some kind of sequence or delay, my code would be a complete mess and the sequence would be unmaintainable. Now, with delays it's as easy as it gets. It's easier to read, debug, write, change, etc. Don't be sorry, if it upsets you then best to let it out, bottling things up isn't good for the soul :) Anyway, to consider if its easier to change then it really depends on how you want to change it. In some cases yes its undoubtedly easier, in other cases i think it could be harder but I don't know the API of your tweening classes so I cant say. What if i wanted to trigger something when each tween ends? What if i want to perform an action depending on which tween has ended? Each solution has its pro's and con's so its worth understanding the options and the trade offs. Like i said i don't find functions or callbacks complicated, its the bread and butter of programming. The code i showed is an idiom that I've used on a number of occasions, not just for sequencing animations but for various things that need treating in a consequential manner and aren't all necessarily time based. My advice is to still use another solution. MC Tween, laco's, Fuse Kit, it doesn't matter. Any of them will do the trick. Mine too :) I don't know any of the other animation kits so I couldn't vouch for their ease of use, size when installed or performance, but I've heard good things about those you mention. anyway..shop around, its always the way to get the best deal and the solution that fits your needs.

[Flashcoders] sequential tweens ?
Hi All,
I need some ideas how to workaround the following situation
I have na mc as an holder for some photoStrip this photoStrip has n
photos as mcs in it I want to produce some tween over each one BUT
the next tween should only begin after the previous has finished
as I don´t know how many photos are ther and as I´m using DepthManager class
to to set up the photos into the PhotoStrip
I begin using for in to trasverse the strip but I´m stucked here with some
clever idea about how to chain these tweens, any help,please ?
for (var prop in photoStrip)
{
if (prop != _childCounter)
{
var animPhotoX:Tween = new Tween (photoStrip[prop], _xscale,
Bounce.easeOut, 100, 120, 0.5, true);
var animPhotoY:Tween= new Tween (photoStrip[prop], _yscale,
Bounce.easeOut, 100, 120, 0.5, true);
animPhotoY.onMotionFinished = function()
{
// would be the next tween something like
}
}
}
}
I know that inside the the strip the mcs are named as childDepth0 to
childDepthN-1 being N the number of photos placed in it
I tryed something with a for photoStrip[depthChild + i] but it didn´t
work, since the for runs for all values of the control variable not caring
about if motionFinished has occurred or not
The last idea I had, but it seemed too dirty would be to have an SetInterval
checking from time to time if the currente Tween ended and then increment
i and clear it after the last tween happen.
I need something like an (irch) GOTO or some Design Pattern
techinique I do not master at this point.

Re: [Flashcoders] sequential tweens ?
Well I made some through the onMotionFinished but your app is fully dependent on all tweens having their opening job done, the app logic gets hidden inside a series of onMotionFinished wich you have to navigate through one by one. For example I´m doing a CD where I have a lot of opening activity and only after it I set the menus and display containers when I did it at first time I had just one function call createCD() and as all actions were sequentially dependents, to understand what the app did it was necessary to go from one function after another till I got the last one I was wondering about some colection or queue scheme where some animators objects ( object to be tweened, tweening properties ) would implement some interface and the complete animation chain would be achived in a FOR IN loop through the collection, am I missing something here ? I´d rather to invest more in code clarity than in some special tricks, even working for some time with OO I still have preference to realize what the app is doing in some structured fashion, maybe I´m overstressing it -) thanks for your time João Carlos - Original Message - From: Zeh Fernando [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 1:52 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] sequential tweens ?

That way you could fire all your tweens at once without having to worry about setting callbacks or other events when each tween is finished - you just give a increasingly bigger delkay for each photo. Not only this makes some clearer and more straightforward code, but you could even animate it in a way that the photos' tweening time intersect each other, without being dependent on chained events. For this task I'd recommend mc tween, laco's tween, or the fuse kit. Any of them will do what you want, and there's probably a few more that I'm forgetting about. You *could* do it with your onMotionFinished event. You'd need to setup a function that fires the animation, and each photo would have to fire the animation on the next one. It's simple, but it's awkward and counterproductive. And really, this kind of need is something that comes up so frequently when animating an interface that using a class or extension that supports delays instead is your best bet. - Zeh ___ 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@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 not sure if it's entirely impossible to assign one class to multiple

is make a baseclass 'Country' and have Brazil extends Country.
You still have the silly task of assigning all your countries to a

Is this the place to talk about AS3? If not, where would be?
The concept of any movieClip be a class is very powerfull, given the
ability to do new ClassName to create a copy of any clip. But the Auto
Generated class and the fact that you can´t have two movieclips with
the same class is something that is limiting flash capabilities.
Example:
I have a A world map where each country is a movieclip. And every one
will have the same behavior. Before flash 9, what I did is assign a
class called Country to each movie clip. This way, I can easy update
the behavior of all at the same time.
With Flash 9, I can´t assign a class with the same name and can´t
specify a base class to the Auto Generated extends.
My suggestion is to do something like this:
http://neves.bs2.com.br/flex/preview.jpg
When ask for AutoGenerate, a check box would enable an different base
class, and I would write on the textbox. So a movieClip called Brazil,
would have a autoGenerated class called Brazil that extends the class
Country, witch would be my base class.
I´m shure no one can deny that this feature is essential.

I understand the callBack function concept but I don´t realize how to implement
it in this situation , like
myAnimation.onFinished = function()
{
// do another thing
}
thanks for any help

Re: [Flashcoders] changing the width of a dynamic text field
I think is something related to the name of your textField, if it was created
in the designing or programming mode
I got this sample from the ActionScript manual, tested it and it works fine
this.createTextField (my_txt, this.getNextHighestDepth (), 10, 40, 160,
120);
my_txt.background = true;
my_txt.backgroundColor = 0xFF;
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.type = input;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
this.createTextField (width_txt, this.getNextHighestDepth (), 10, 10, 30,
20);
width_txt.border = true;
width_txt.maxChars = 3;
width_txt.restrict = 0-9;
width_txt.type = input;
width_txt.text = my_txt._width;
width_txt.onChanged = function ()
{
my_txt._width = this.text;
};
this.createTextField (height_txt, this.getNextHighestDepth (), 70, 10, 30,
20);
height_txt.border = true;
height_txt.maxChars = 3;
height_txt.restrict = 0-9;
height_txt.type = input;
height_txt.text = my_txt._height;
height_txt.onChanged = function ()
{
my_txt._height = this.text;
};

Subject: [Flashcoders] changing the width of a dynamic text field
I have a single dynamic text field (pText) I'd like to dynamically
change the width of. It is multiline with a border, and other options are
off.
When I execute the following actionscript:
trace('w1:'+pText._width);
pText._width=200;
trace('w2:'+pText._width);
the trace output is:
w1:400
w2:375.7
Why isn't the width of the textfield at w2 set to 200? Seems like it
should. (I'm prepared for a d'oh and slap to the forehead).

[Flashcoders] callBack for Beginners ?
Hi All,
I need help
I trying to develop some small app that read a Parameters list from a XML file
and then if succeded, read other XML files as specified by the Parameters file
and only after these files were read and succeed the app would start, what is
usually get with something like this
..
1.. var myParameters:XML = new XML();
2.. myParametersignoreWhite = true;
3.. myParameters.onLoad = function(success)
4.. {
5.. if ( success)
6..{
7..// get the Paramenters from myParameters
8..// begin reading other XML files
9..// wait for them to succed
10..// start app
11..}
12.. };
13.. myParameters.load(parameters.xml);
but I´m guessing how to do it in a clean way, because after some files it gets
messy and hard to read and mantain,
how could I make each XML loading dispatch some special event after it succed
to the main app and only after all events of all files occurred it would start
it ??
Should the main app be implemented as some kind of OBSERVER pattern where it
stays listening to these events ?

Re: [Flashcoders] actionscript injection on root timeline?
Mtasc compiler has a parameter -frame (framenumber) wich sets the injection point. from mtasc.org Additional arguments are the following : a.. -swf file : specify input SWF which contains assets. b.. -cp path : add a directory path to the ClassPath : this is the list of directories that MTASC will use to look for .as files. You can use several times -cp to add several directories. c.. -main : will automaticaly call static function main once all classes are registered. d.. -header width:height:fps:bgcolor : does not load a SWF, instead create a new one containing only compiled code and using provided header informations. bgcolor is optional and should be 6 digits hexadecimal value. e.. -mx : use precompiled MX classes (see section on V2 components below). Some other arguments, for advanced users : a.. -version n : specify SWF version : 6 to generate Player 6r89 compatible SWF or 8 to access Flash8 features. b.. -v : activate verbose mode, printing some additional informations about compiling process. c.. -out file : change output swf file. d.. -msvc : use Microsoft Visual Studio errors style formating instead of Java style (for file names and lines number). e.. -strict : will use strict compilation mode which require that all variables are explicitely typed. f.. -exclude file : exclude code generation of classes listed in specified file (format is one full class path per line). g.. -trace function : specify a custom trace function. (see Trace Facilities), or no disable all the traces. h.. -keep : keep AS2 classes compiled by MCC into the SWF (this could cause some classes to be present two times if also compiled with MTASC). i.. -frame f : will export AS2 classes into target frame of swf. j.. -pack path : compile all the files contained in specified package - not recursively (eg to compile files in c:\flash\code\my\app do mtasc -cp c:\flash\code -pack my/app). k.. -group : will merge classes into one single clip (this will reduce SWF size but might cause some problems if you're using -keep or -mx). l.. -wimp : adds warnings for import statements that are not used in the file. m.. -infer : adds type inference for initialized local variables (see below). and those who use MTASC and did not have know about haXe should spend some time and take a look for this language, from www.haxe.org Basicly, what haXe can do is : a.. create Flash SWF files using Flash APIs for Players 6,7,8 and soon 8.5 b.. generate Javascript code using Browser DHTML API, so you can create AJAX web applications c.. generate Bytecode that can be used on the Server side (using an Apache plugin) or packed into standalone executable Each of theses platforms have their own API, but they share the same programming language and the same standard library, so if your classes are pure code (using no platform-specific API) then they can be compiled and used everywhere, depending on your needs. Also, haXe make it easy to interoperate between theses different platforms, by providing common protocol libraries. Please note that it's still possible to use haXe on only one platform if you want for example keep your current working code.
