Hi guys im having problems with uploading an image, i cant seam to get it to 
work! Most of the code is from the help files but still no joy! Any ideas...

public function uploadImage( ev:MouseEvent ):void
  {
   uploadURL = new URLRequest();
uploadURL.url = _mainClass._imgUploadURL;
file = new FileReference();
file.browse(getTypes());   
trace(uploadImage:  + ev);
  }


The above trace outouts this...

uploadImage: [MouseEvent type=click bubbles=true cancelable=false 
eventPhase=3 localX=16 localY=4 stageX=95.65 stageY=236.72 
relatedObject=null ctrlKey=false altKey=false shiftKey=false delta=0]]

As far as i can tell it does not go any further into the code below!

private function getTypes():Array {
var allTypes:Array = new Array(getImageTypeFilter());
return allTypes;
}


private function getImageTypeFilter():FileFilter {
return new FileFilter(Images (*.jpg, *.jpeg), *.jpg;*.jpeg;);
}


private function cancelHandler(ev:Event):void {
trace(cancelHandler:  + ev);
}

private function completeHandler(ev:Event):void {
trace(completeHandler:  + ev);

private function uploadCompleteDataHandler(ev:Event):void {
trace(uploadCompleteData:  + ev);

_mainClass.afterUploadXML);
}

private function httpStatusHandler(ev:HTTPStatusEvent):void {
trace(httpStatusHandler:  + ev);
}

private function ioErrorHandler(ev:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace(ioErrorHandler:  + ev);
}

var file:FileReference = FileReference(ev.target);
trace(progressHandler name= + file.name +  bytesLoaded= +

}

private function selectHandler(event:Event):void {

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - Upload image problem

2008-05-20 Thread Glen Pike


Apologies, it is.

You need to add listeners for all the events that FileReference dispatches.

At a minimum you need to listen for the select event to begin uploading:


file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);


Here is  a link to the Flex 2 langref with an example that adds all the 
listeners - check the Flash one if you are using CS3, but the class 
should be the same, so you may be okay.

[Flashcoders] AS3: Stretch only edges of a displayObject?I

I am looking to take a DO (movieclip), and stretch just the side edges,
leaving the middle unstretched... so take an image, cut in 4 vertical
pieces, and stretch the outside pieces out horizontally by like 15%.

I could use DisplayObjects above the main one and just stretch those
horizontally, but I really want to keep this contained to manipulations on
the main object itself and not worry about creating and destroying others.

Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - Upload image problem

2008-05-20 Thread Glen Pike


Hi,
  
   If you are using PHP, remember to use the getimagesize() function to 
add a bit of security to your upload script - if someone is trying to 
spoof the image, it can add an extra level of security - possibly not 
foolproof, but pretty good.


   It's something like getimagesize($_FILES['myFileName']['tmpname']) 
for normal HTML forms, maybe slightly different for Flash - look at some 
of the Flash tut's for this.

  Apologies, it is.

  You need to add listeners for all the events that FileReference dispatches.

  At a minimum you need to listen for the select event to begin uploading:


  file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);


  Here is  a link to the Flex 2 langref with an example that adds all the 
  listeners - check the Flash one if you are using CS3, but the class 
  should be the same, so you may be okay.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: Stretch only edges of a displayObject?I

2008-05-20 Thread Rich Shupe

Eric, if you're saying you want to manipulate the first and last 15% of a
display object without creating anything else, I don't think that's
possible. The closest I can think of that will accomplish that is using a
displacement map filter in conjunction with resizing. That might get you
what you need, but you'll still have to create the displacement map.

Another way to do this is to create and destroy other objects but within the
main object. At least that way you won't have to worry about moving,
rotating, etc., four slices. You could use BitmapData, for example, create
the four slices and add them inside the same do, allowing you to manipulate
only slices 1 and 4, but still treat the entire d.o. as a single entity.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: Stretch only edges of a displayObject?I

2008-05-20 Thread Steven Sacks


Maybe this will work?

Make two copies of the original MovieClip (if you're loading an image, 
load it once into the first clip, then when it's done loading, load it 
into the two others) for a total of three.


Mask the left and right pieces to the width you want to show.   Mask the 
middle piece so those edges aren't showing.


Determine the math that you would have to stretch each one of the slices 
so that that portion would be stretched 15% (it will be more than 15% 
because you would have to take into account the width of the entire 
clip) and set their scalex to that value.


Position their x so they're lined up correctly.

Voila!

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: Stretch only edges of a displayObject?I

That was going to be an approach... and I would apply the stretch to the
sides loaded in on top by hand in Photoshop (cementing the effect -- bad
voodoo there). Then I thought it might be cool to do it using the BitmapData
class somehow instead so I didn't need to worry about any cleanup, etc. as
much as the image will be changing a lot, etc. I'm investigating Pixel
Bender right now.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: Stretch only edges of a displayObject?I

2008-05-20 Thread Rich Shupe

You can almost certainly write a Hydra filter for this. You can do it
AS-native with BitmapData.

9-slice scaling can't do what you're hoping for, as I understand it. It will
only scale the top and bottom centers when scaling left and right, the
left and right centers when scaling up and down, the center slice in all
cases, and never the corners.

If you want something *very* roughly like the genie effect (where the top
and bottom scale but not the middle, or vice-versa), you'll need to write
something for that. There are bunch of examples like this if you want to
think a bit about what to search for. I can think of the genie effect, an
old-school waving flag or skew, etc., all of which cut the object into
slices and manipulate them individually.

In fact, this is required when using 9-slice on a bitmap. You have to cut
the BM along the lines of the scale-9 rect so the auto scaling will work
properly. (You can do it manually before importing, too, but that's
obviously not dynamic.)

Another thing that was quite popular was the slice-distortion of a single
image--the first I saw was the Mona Lisa--depending on where you hovered
your mouse. I just did a search for mona lisa actionscript with no luck,
but this might jog some gray cells into action.

You might also look for an ActionScript goo/liquify example which would
demonstrate a displacement map approach. I think Grant did one of Mike
Chambers. 

I'll try to pull this into focus when I have a clearer head and maybe I can
think of a concrete link or two.

Eric, I know this isn't the root of what you were asking, but here's a class
by Thibault Imbert that brings 9-slice scaling to bitmaps. Not on point, but
related:

http://www.bytearray.org/?p=118

And if anyone is interested, donate to his book. And if there are any fluent

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 : Flash IDE Base Class question ...

2008-05-19 Thread John McCormack


Hi Stephen,

On the Export for Actionscript dialog there is a pencil which brings up 
your class if you click it. But if you haven't written a class yet then the 
dialog says it will create one for you (when compiled), based on MovieClip. 
If you have written a class then you get what you want instead. I suppose 
they take the generic case since a MovieClip (an extended Sprite) can do 
anything a Sprite can.

[Flashcoders] AS3 : Flash IDE Base Class question ...

2008-05-18 Thread Stephen Ford

Example: I've drawn a 50x50 red square in the Flash IDE, and converted it to a 
new MovieClip, giving it a name of Box. I've then selected Export for 
Actionscript, at which point said clip is given the default Base Class of: 
flash.display.MovieClip

So I then create a Class file, Box.as. Within this Class definition, I use the 
following: public class Box extends Sprite

So my question: Is the compiler now using Sprite as the Base Class for my Box 
class (as per the Class definition) or is it still using MovieClip (as per the 
IDE)?

So the short version: What is the correlation between a clip's Base Class 
within the IDE and the Class which it extends (if any) within it's Class 
definition (if defined/created).

Cheers,
Stephen.___

Yes, you can not use AS3 to embed fonts if you are compiling using Flash
CS3. I am not sure what the problem is though. If you are compiling with
Flash CS3 anyway you have a way to embed them. If you insist on embedding
fonts using ActionsScript, you might consider downloading the Flex 3 SDK or
Flex Builder 3. The Flex SDK contains a compiler that can compile
ActionScript projects. You could use this compiler to compile your fonts
into separate swf and load those in.

Flash doesn't understand any meta tags.

This is correct, Flash CS3 does not understand the metadata tags.

The ActionScript compiler from the Flex SDK does understand them, but not
all of them are usefull, most important, the [RemoteClass] and [Bindable]
tags can not be used in an ActionScript project.

The Flex compiler does understand them and also uses all of the Adobe
provided ones.

I don't think you can use Flex style meta tags in Flash - at least it
has never worked for me.

But with Astro device fonts act like embedded fonts (anti-aliased etc)
so that I will get away with not using embedded fonts too much - well I

idea works I will to use an interface as a public api to the loaded swf.

Anyway, I am very interested in seeing your example files, whether in Flex
or Flash. However, I don't seem to receive attachments sent through this
list. Can you send me the attachment off list? 

Thanks
Dave

 There were some concrete answers posted to your question. Anyway, 
 let's see if we can solve it again.

 Before I will try and help with your problem, I want to point out 
 something about your code. I am not sure if you are using (in your 
 real
 application) an interface which you will cast your class to:

 *var _lm:ILoadMe = ILoadMe(_ldr.content);*

 If you are using the actual class, the problem is that the whole class 
 and it's dependencies are compiled into you main swf, defeating a big 
 part of the purpose of loading the swf into it.

 In my previous reply to your earlier email I posted a Flex version of 
 the answer. This time I created a Flash example. It is added as
attachment.

 The attached zip file contains 2 directories. Make sure you have your 
 webserver point to to these directories, the virtual hosts in apache:

 *VirtualHost *:80
   ServerName domain1
   DocumentRoot E:\Projects\domain1
 /VirtualHost

 VirtualHost *:80
   ServerName domain2
   DocumentRoot E:\Projects\domain2
 /VirtualHost*

 In the hosts file (if you are on windows) you need these 2 entries:

 *127.0.0.1 domain1
 127.0.0.1 domain2*

 In order to test the example, call this url: 
 *http://domain1/domain1.html*

 You should see this appear on your screen:

 *domain1.swf
 domain2.swf loaded
 Domain2Base*

 I hope this will solve your problem.

[Flashcoders] as3 namespace question

2008-05-09 Thread Dave Segal

I posted about this before and didn't receive and answer but it is still
causing me issues so I am trying again. I need to load an swf from one
server that is a member of some class. For example:

 

http://server1.mydomain.com/load_me.swf that uses the Document class
com.mydomain.componet.LoadMe.as.

 

I want to be able to load this swf from a different server, say
http://server2.mydomain.com/load_stuff.swf, and cast it to a LoadMe when
it is done loading. Should this work? I keep getting errors when trying to
cast in the init handler.

 

 

import com.mydomain.componet.LoadMe;

 

var _req:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(http://server1.mydomain.com/load_me.swf;);

var _ldr:Loader = new Loader();

var _context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();

_context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;

_context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;

_ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler, false, 0,
true);

_ldr.load(_req, _context); 

 

 

private function initHandler($event:Event) () {   

var _lm:LoadMe = LoadMe(_ldr.content);

}

2008-05-09 Thread Juan Pablo Califano

I have not tryed this, but check this:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/flash/display/LoaderInfo.html


Because the instance of the main class of the SWF file has no Loader
object, the loaderInfo property is the only way to access the LoaderInfo for
the instance of the main class of the SWF file.

Perhaps this means you have to do something like:

private function initHandler($event:Event) () {

   var _lm:LoadMe = LoadMe(_ldr.loaderInfo.content);

}

[Flashcoders] AS3- Word Wrap for Dynamic DataGrid Cell Content

Does anybody have any code that sets the cells in a DataGrid so they  
display text content to automatically word wrap instead of displaying  
single line? This is for Flash CS3/ Actionscript 3.

[Flashcoders] as3 sound and swf overriding one another

Hi all,

I am having a very strange behavior with the Sound object.
I will try to describe the problem as accurate as possible.

I have a mp3 which I have embedded in class like this
[Embed(source='../../../../../embedded_assets/mp3/loop.mp3')]
private var Loop:Class;

This mp3 plays when the application starts and keeps on looping. However as
soon as a swf with an embedded flv on the timeline (which also contains
sound) starts playing the mp3 then stops playing. there's no code which tell
mp3 to stop playing when the swf starts...

It looks like the swf overrides the mp3 sound channel.
Has anyone experienced behavior and how did ou manage to fix the problem.

Many thanks

Hi Glen,

I know I need to invoke the stop method to stop a sound object but what I am
looking for is to have my mp3 and the sound in the swf playing at the same

the mp3 soundchannel and therefore causes the mp3 to stop without me calling

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 sound and swf overriding one another

2008-05-06 Thread Glen Pike


Apologies, I misunderstood what you wanted to do.

If you google around for sound and embedded flv people seem to be 
having a few problems so I am guessing this may be a bigger issue and 
would not surprise me if there is a bug in there somewhere or maybe a 
feature of the player.  I had one a while ago where calling 
stopallsounds stopped all sounds, across every browser tab - f*g 
annoying if you are listening to internet radio or similar.


Sorry I can't be any more help...

sound) starts playing the mp3 then stops playing. there's no code which
tell
mp3 to stop playing when the swf starts...

It looks like the swf overrides the mp3 sound channel.
Has anyone experienced behavior and how did ou manage to fix the

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 sound and swf overriding one another

no problem,

I think i have sort of managed to locate the bug to when and where it
occures My mp3 stops playing everytime a swf gets loaded regardless of it
containing a flv or not.

this pure madness...

thanks

 Apologies, I misunderstood what you wanted to do.

 If you google around for sound and embedded flv people seem to be
 having a few problems so I am guessing this may be a bigger issue and would
 not surprise me if there is a bug in there somewhere or maybe a feature of
 the player.  I had one a while ago where calling stopallsounds stopped all
 sounds, across every browser tab - f*g annoying if you are listening to
 internet radio or similar.

 Sorry I can't be any more help...

  Hi Glen,
 
  I know I need to invoke the stop method to stop a sound object but what
  I am
  looking for is to have my mp3 and the sound in the swf playing at the
  same
  time. what is happening at the moment is that the sound in the swf
  overrides
  the mp3 soundchannel and therefore causes the mp3 to stop without me
  calling
  the stop method.

   Hi,
  
If you want to stop the Embedded sound playing you need to save the
   SoundChannel object returned from calling play() on the Sound object:
  I guess you need to call stop() on your sound channel when your SWF
   loads.
  Here is a snippet of my code for a game - I stored my sound assets
   in
   a single object, in which I also put any SoundChannel objects that I
   had for
   looping sounds or sounds I wanted to stop / manipulate:
  
[Embed (source = ../resources/graphics.swf, symbol=MotherShip)]
private var MotherShip:Class;
  
_sounds = new Object();
  _sounds.mothership = new SndMotherShip() as SoundAsset;
  
_sounds.mothership_stop = _sounds.mothership.play(0, 100) as
   SoundChannel;
//trace(showMotherShip  + _sounds.mothership_stop);
var pan:Number = ( _motherShip.x / _width) - 0.5;
SoundChannel(_sounds.mothership_stop).soundTransform = new
   SoundTransform(1, pan);

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 sound and swf overriding one another

2008-05-06 Thread Folkert Hielema


the completeHandler is only to re dispatch the channels SOUND_COMPLETE

private function completeHandler(event: Event): void
   {
   dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE));
   }

The Application (the mp3 player in this case) listens to the 
SOUND_COMPLETE and then starts a new song, after the new url is taken 
from the playlist. No fancy stuff there ;)

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 For loop proplem

2008-05-06 Thread Robert Leisle

Hi SJM,

It looks like you're setting the persistent var, _mcName, to equal each 
_summaryElement[i].sumImg in turn as the loop progresses. That means that when 
the loop is finished, the value for _mcName will be a reference to 
_summaryElement[4].sumImg, the last clip being loaded. Since your loop 
undoubtedly runs faster than the loading process, what your imgLoadComplete 
handler is actually doing is this, 
_summaryElement[4].sumImg.addChild(ev.target.content). It wouldn't be 
surprising if you looked at the contents of _summaryElement[4].sumImg and found 
that all the images are added to its display list as each load completes. 
I would either get rid of the persistent var and find a way to use an ID number 
to link the loaded images and the containers, OR add this line to your 
loadImage method, _mcName.addChild(imageLoader);, and forget the event listener 
(at least for doing the addChild).

Hth,
Bob

[Flashcoders] [AS3] Problem with For loop

2008-05-02 Thread SJM - Flash

This function should loop through 5 times creating 5 different MovieClips, each 
one with a mouse click event attached, which should trace the value of i 
either 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. So the first movieclip should output 1, second should 
output 2 and so on...

 for (var i = 0; i  itemList.length(); i++) // itemList.length() is equal 
to 5
 {
  _summaryElement[i] = loadLibrary(itemContainer); // Loads MovieClip from 
library

  trace(i); // Outputs correctly 1... 2... 3... 4... 5...

  var summaryClick = function (ev:Event)
  {
   trace(i); // Outputs incorrectly (Outputs 5 on each MovieClip click) 
???

i does not exist within your loaded MovieClip.  You need to trace a variable
that is specific to the MovieClip.

[Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array

Hi Guys

Im in need of finding out how or even if its possible to convert an object to 
an array?

Basically I am trying to output some vars from flash to an PHP script, yet when 
PHP recieves the $_POST['textVars'] as [object Object] which is a string and 
not an array so I can't access it with $_POST['textVars'][0]['x'], which should 
output the value of textBox1.x.

var textVars:Object = new Object;

textVars[0] = {
 x  :textBox1.x,
 y  :textBox1.y,
 width  :textBox1.width,
 height  :textBox1.height,
 rotation :textBox1.rotation
};

textVars[1] = {
 x  :textBox2.x,
 y  :textBox2.y,
 width  :textBox2.width,
 height  :textBox2.height,
 rotation :textBox2.rotation
};

sendVars.textVars = textVars;

sendRequest.data = setVars;
sendRequest.url = process.php;
sendRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
sendToURL(sendRequest);

Re: [Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array

2008-04-29 Thread Glen Pike


Hi,

   You could create a loop to look through each object and then make up 
your arrays a bit like this - untested:


   sendVars.textVars = new Array();

   var numVars:int = textVars.length;
   for(var i:int = 0;i  numVars;i++) {
  
  var obj:Object = textVars[i];
  
  for(item:String in obj) {

 trace(itm +  =  + obj[itm]);
 sendVars.textVars[i][itm] = obj[itm];
  }
   }
   //then send your data...

   SWXFormat handles this sort of thing quite nicely, but they were 
still working on AS3 when I last looked.

Subject: [Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array


Hi Guys

Im in need of finding out how or even if its possible to convert an object to 
an array?

Basically I am trying to output some vars from flash to an PHP script, yet when PHP recieves the $_POST['textVars'] as [object 
Object] which is a string and not an array so I can't access it with $_POST['textVars'][0]['x'], which should output the value of 
textBox1.x.


var textVars:Object = new Object;

textVars[0] = {
x  :textBox1.x,
y  :textBox1.y,
width  :textBox1.width,
height  :textBox1.height,
rotation :textBox1.rotation
   };

textVars[1] = {
x  :textBox2.x,
y  :textBox2.y,
width  :textBox2.width,
height  :textBox2.height,
rotation :textBox2.rotation
   };

sendVars.textVars = textVars;

sendRequest.data = setVars;
sendRequest.url = process.php;
sendRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
sendToURL(sendRequest);

Thanks
SM

Re: [Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array

Hey Glen thanks for your speedy response its much appriciated! Ive tried the 
code you provided but am still getting the same output.

   var textVars = new Array();
   
   textVars[0] = {
a   :0,
b   :1,
c   :2
   };
   textVars[1] = {
d   :3,
e   :4,
f   :5
   };
   
   var numVars:int = textVars.length;
   for(var i:int = 0;i  numVars;i++)
   {
  var obj:Object = textVars[i];
   
  for (var itm:String in obj)
  {
  trace(itm +  =  + obj[itm]);
  textVars[i][itm] = obj[itm];
  }
   }
   
   
   var sendRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(process.php);
   var setVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
   
   setVars.textVars = textVars;
  
   sendRequest.data = setVars;
   sendRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
   
   sendToURL(sendRequest);

Basically we are trying to output a $_POST array that is formated similar to 
below...


Array
(
 [textVars] = Array
  (
   [0] = Array
   (
[a] = 0
[b] = 1
[c] = 2
)

   [1] = Array
   (
[d] = 3
[e] = 4
[f] = 5
   )
  
  )

)

instead we are getting:

Array
(
 [textVars] = [object Object]
)


Thanks

  Hi,

  You could create a loop to look through each object and then make up 
  your arrays a bit like this - untested:

  sendVars.textVars = new Array();

  var numVars:int = textVars.length;
  for(var i:int = 0;i  numVars;i++) {
 
 var obj:Object = textVars[i];
 
 for(item:String in obj) {
trace(itm +  =  + obj[itm]);
sendVars.textVars[i][itm] = obj[itm];
 }
  }
  //then send your data...

  SWXFormat handles this sort of thing quite nicely, but they were 
  still working on AS3 when I last looked.

Re: [Flashcoders] (AS3) Object to an Array

2008-04-29 Thread Glen Pike


Hi,

   This may be a formatting thing with how you post arrays and my 
answer may need revising:


   Look in the PHP manual for Variables from outside PHP and see that 
you can post arrays from HTML forms, by having the fields named as an 
array..


   so my original code below is a bit wrong, sorry.

   The loop will have to build the pseudo array for each text var 
object so you can post textVars[0][a]=0textVars[0][b]=1, etc.:


   setVars = new Object();

textVars[0] = {
   a   :0,
   b   :1,
   c   :2
  };
  textVars[1] = {
   d   :3,
   e   :4,
   f   :5
  };
  
  var numVars:int = textVars.length;

  for(var i:int = 0;i  numVars;i++)
  {
 var obj:Object = textVars[i];
  
 for (var itm:String in obj)

 {
trace(itm +  =  + obj[itm]);
//check the quotes and braces carefully, but basically you want to end up 
with setVars.textVars[0][a] = 0, etc
setVars[textVars[ + i + ][ + itm + ]] = obj[itm];
 }
  }

I think that may fix it...

You probably also want to make sure your PHP script is behaving by temporarily changing 
$_POST to $_REQUEST then writing a manual query string as above...

You can also use JSON, a format close to javascript syntax, used for
serializing / deserializing objects. It's rather standard and you can find
libraries for parsing it in most mainstream languages (including, of course,
AS 2.0  AS 3.0, and PHP)
