Re: [Flashcoders] how to tell if you're running in the ide

2007-01-26 Thread Stefan Thurnherr 

I'm using CustomActions, i.e. :

if ( CustomActions ){
// we're in the Flash IDE
} else {
// we're either in a browser or in the standalone player
}


HTH,
stefan.

I've occasionally used the trick of checking whether this._url begins
with file:  Doesn't exactly tell you if you're running in the IDE, but
does tell you whether it's running locally on your machine or in a
browser, from a web server.

You can also set up your code along these lines:

var inTestMovie:Boolean = false;
trace( inTestMovie = true );

if (inTestMovie)
{
// do wacky test movie stuff
}
else
{
// do normal stuff
}

Then you can just turn off trace statements when you want to see the 'normal' 
behavior, and leave them on when you want your 'test movie' behavior. You're 
probably turning off trace statements on your deliverables anyway.

If you do a done of stuff like this, though, it might be best to use a 
preprocessor on your source and have it dump out two different code branches 
for you. (I don't have any recommendations on AS preprocessors; I had to throw 
one together in Perl at work myself.)

Re: RE: [Flashcoders] how to tell if you're running in the ide

2007-01-26 Thread eka 

Hello :)

With VEGAS my openSource framework you can use my vegas.logging package :

Page project : http://vegas.riaforge.org/
Example : in the souces in the AS2/trunk/bin/test/vegas/logging package

1 - use a log library to create channels to debug you application with muli
external targets (trace, SOS console, Firebug, FlashInspector etc..)

You can enabled or disabled you logs when you want :)

My log model is based on the AS3 mx.logging framework in Flex2 SDK (
polymorphism but not the same implementation in the class, i use bubbling
events to propagate the logs)

2 - use the class asgard.system.Application to determinates if you are in a
web application, standalone or flash ide application etc...
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/asgard/system/Application.as

ASGard in an extension of VEGAS :)

example :

import asgard.system.Application ;


if ( Application.isFlashIDE() )
{
// initialize log model
}
else
{
  // do nothing !
}

EKA+ :)
