Hi Coders,
using SetVariable and GetVariable is somewhat funky with the use of
javascript/flash-communication,
sure there are other ways as well - fscommand and ExternalInterface...
but are there moew methods than GetVariable and SetVariable?
Can I issue a gotoAndStop, or play or so in the same
It seems to me that that would work as a Sprite too - less memory
overheads (not by much, mind, but it'll help if there's a lot of them)
also, would you be better off making your class variables protected
or private? Those variables are being set by the constructor, anyway,
and if you use
i've never used tweenlite but i have used tweener and one of the
things that blew me away was the ability to tween properties and
variables rather than just clips/sprites

Hello,
a client of mine has requested to buy the source code of a project I did
for them. I havent really sold any source code yet, so I was wondering
if somebody maybe could give me some tips, because I really dont know
how to value source code?
I was thinking in the line of a percentage
Hi,
I guess it depends on whether you are going to license it to them
for their use only or if they are then going to sell it on.
The other part is whether you selling it to them means that you
cannot use it.
At the end of the day, it's intellectual property you are selling,
so
I'd be very careful how you proceed with this, but at the end of the
day it's your own judgement.
It also rather depends on how much of what you've written for the
client is solely for that client - you will never reuse it - or if
you're depending on code libraries you've previously developed and
One thing I keep seeing is all this talk of the 8k+ that Tweener, Fuse
etc add to the file size. And while I absolutely understand the need
for keeping projects as barebones tiny as possible, I guess it just
doesnt seem like that much, especially since a project that involves
heavy, repeated and
Then I'll tell you TweenLite can tween anything. It can even tween Array
(of numbers).
The last time I checked Tweener did not have filter tweens, that's why I
picked TweenLite/TweenFilterLite. But things may have changed.
Jack has even fixed a little (albeit non-critical) buggish TweenLite
No. Classes add their size per SWF file, not per use. So yes, it's 8kb
added to the file regardless of the number of uses.

That's interesting.
How can I tween an Array.
Do you perhaps have a little example code?

it only really matters with flash banners where you have to keep
below a ridiculously low filesize (usually 20-30k for expanding ones)
to not delay the content on the site
on sites / media it doesn't really add up to that much

However, despite new version is a great product (love it) it seems do not

You add 40k here for some media. 60k there for some code, you're up to
100k. If you have download requirements of 100k max in some client
It is not that much to figure out Dwayne,
if you really care about filesizes - especially when doing banners - than
choosing
a lighter Tweening-engine might do the trick of keeping the filesize as low
as it must be
But you can use any tweening engine you like, as long as you agree with
yourself
i guess they can be shared of course..
but are there other tools out there that streamline this collaborative data?
i guess i can add these files into a check in/out system.
but i cant seem to track changes cleanly with these 2 apps..

I'm very clear that when doing banners the is the big concern about size.. I
was saying before that I understand that...
I do banners everyday
but that when it comes to BIG sites (2 megs )etc that I don't understand
the concern .most sites on FWA are big you know thats all?
Sure.

Hi,
Look at the Date class - you can use getDate, etc. or getUTCDate,
etc. so I guess you could compare and contrast.
I don't think this would enable you to differentiate between 12 24
hour clock though.

Hello :)
You can try my DateFormatter class :
http://www.ekameleon.net/vegas/docs/asgard/date/DateFormatter.html
To use it you can install my opensource Framework :

This formatter work in AS2 or AS3 with the same features.

You're right, Dwayne, for a lot of non-banner work, 8k vs 3k really doesn't
matter. It can, however, come into play in local memory as tweens are
created. For example, if an instance of Tweener has 8k worth of code driving
it (not that every instance would take 8k in memory - I'm just talking

With windows you can decide whether to display 12 or 24 hour, but I am
not sure if Flash can detect this setting, or if it affects the Date
functions in Flash - I guess that's an experiment for someone to try...

Correct, but just as a matter of clarity, it's important to be clear
that the exported SWF size is completely unrelated to how much memory
each 'instance' takes in memory.

About that, I was just looking at Tweener's code, and I don't think that
would be a problem either. It is basically a static class, so there's no
extra memory allocation for tween added, except for a relatively small
TweenListObj pushed into an array.
Or maybe I am wrong and Zeh can correct me
I never use more than one instance as it's static objectWhat do you

I've used Fuse a great deal in AS2, and both Tweenlite and Tweener in
AS2/3. I tend to stick with tweener primarily for the beziers. I think
adding even a hint of a curve when moving from A to B makes a movement look
much more natural.

if so does it HAVE to be on a Flash Communication Server?

You have problems because the US changed the DST policy. Now it starts at
SECOND SUNDAY of MARCH

So, USADLS now should be (2, 0, 3, 1, 0, 11);
I don't know if the other policies changed too.

hi,
i've got an application where there are some videos.
The application is fullscreen and so, the video when comes to play, gets
fullscreen as in fullScreenTakeOver is true by default.
So I set it to be fullScreenTakeOver = false; on the frame.
But this is not working.
any ideas?
thanks
