Re: [Flashcoders] Testing display object if its MovieClip or BitMap?

[Ktu]

I know a solution may already be found but this was my first thought and I
am curious how any of you feel about switch (true) for this problem

switch (true) {
   case loadedDisplayObject is MovieClip:
   case loadedDisplayObject is Bitmap:
}

Is switch (true) just bad practice? and does 'is' not work in this case?
Anyone want to stab at it?

be null -it does not throw exceptions.

Ah, I am glad I asked! :D

Any tips on a better way to test display object if it is BitMap and/or
MovieClip?

When I trace the loaded array:

trace(pre.objects); // get the loaded objects as an array

Here is the output:

[object Bitmap],[object Bitmap],[object Bitmap],[object MovieClip]

I was thinking "typeof(pre.objects[0])" would get me "[object
Bitmap]", for example, but it just outputs "object".

Thanks again!

If I understand properly what you mean, the "contains" method is what you're
looking for.

[Flashcoders] Testing before removing a child

[Alan Neilsen]

I am using loader_clip.removeChild(ldr); to remove child objects from my loader 
clip, and I want to test if a child object is there before removing it. I 
thought it would be something like
if (loader_clip.child !=0) {   // or !="", or !=null, or ==true, or 
something like that
loader_clip.removeChild(ldr);
}

But when I trace (loader_clip.child) it comes back "undefined" whether the 
child is still there or not.

What can I use to test this so loader_clip.removeChild(ldr); doesn't produce an 
error if the child has already been removed?

ApplicationDomain isn't related to the server hostname - it's for 
managing classes in external swf files.


You can get the current hosting address with
trace(root.loaderInfo.loaderURL);


Even better, IMO, you can check system.Capabilities.playerType to see 
if it's running locally:

[Flashcoders] Testing online and offline

[Helmut Granda]

I am testing an application extensibly localy and on the server,
there are just a comple of methods that I want them to run locally but they
need to be user initiated when running on the server.

At the moment if I post the files to the server then I comment out the
automatic calls and so forth...

I started testing the ApplicationDomain and
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain but that still turns undefined off line and
online...

// just for testing purposes:
import flash.system.ApplicationDomain;
this.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain
trace(this.currentDomain );

any ideas of a different implementation or a different class that I
should be using?

I know there is a way to get the domain address

Re: [Flashcoders] Testing ExternalInterface on Windows for me.

[Geoff Stearns]

i'm just reading this now... but here's how to fix all your problems:

1) as for 'getting the movie' - since you are using FlashObject, it's  
really easy, just use document.getElementById();


once you call fo.write() you can get the reference to the movie and  
you don't have to get it again - no sense in running that every time  
you call a function.


normally i'll embed the flash movie inline in the page, then put the  
externalinterface initialization stuff in an onload event. that way  
you know the flash movie will be there, and it gives all the other  
elements on the page time to load as well.


2) the form issue is a sort of known issue - there's a lot of  
problems when placing the flash movie inside a form, although i  
haven't heard of issues with placing it before vs. after.


read the comments on the livedocs here:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/ 
html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=2200.html


and maybe try some googling for more info.

RE: [Flashcoders] Testing ExternalInterface on Windows for me.

[Ryan Potter]

I get the same as you.  I looked at the external interface code that I
have and the only difference I can see is I have swLiveConnect set to
true but I don't think that is it.

Yes I tried it out on yours and my server. works just fine. Now have  
a look at this. on Firefox and IE: ( http://www.smithaaronlee.net/ 
jstest/ImgScrollerTEST.html )

It works in firefox like it should. But in IE it doesn't work  
completely.  I'm having troubles figuring out what is wrong in IE, IE  
throws errors when you click on a step button. Just viewsource to see  
the JS.

this is what it is supposed to do:

when you click a 'step' button it reloads different thumbnails in the  
scroller piece. when you click on a thumbnail it communicates through  
js to the other flash piece to load a larger img.

I am at work right now. And we only have one windows machine. We are
using some ExternalInterface functionality in one of our projects.
It's not working on out windows machine. It doesn't work in either
Firefox or Internet Explorer. It works fine in every browser on MAC.

I've been doing some testing to figure out what it was. And could not
figure it out. So I created an even smaller test. There is two lines
of code in the fla that calls an ExternalInterface call to a js
method that just displays an alert. Even that doesnt work.

If someone could take a quick look at my src files. Test it on IE and
Firefox Windows. And let me know if it works. If it does work for
others it means we have a problem with our win machine.

here is a zip ( www.smithaaronlee.net/ExtIntTest.zip ) file with the

Re: [Flashcoders] Testing LocalConnection from a server in the IDE

[Manuel Saint-Victor]

Alan- They're both on the same machine but thanks for clearing that up
either way.

I was thinking that I could test a file sitting on the server using a local
swf file and the local connection.  I tried putting the domain permission
etc but to no avail.  Finally I resolved to just placing the other swf file
on the same html page in a "debug" version.

Rajat- as far as the name starting with an underscore -does that help? I
don't think I've ever come across that- If so I have overlooked it.


Thanks guys,

Mani

Re: [Flashcoders] Testing LocalConnection from a server in the IDE

[Alan Queen]

forgive me if this is implied, but there's always been alot of
misunderstanding about LocalConnection..

LocalConnection is not used to send messages from one machine to
another. It's meant to send messages between 2 or more swf files on
the same machine whether in browser or .exe

again, don't kill me if that's not what you were referring too ;)

Re: [Flashcoders] Testing LocalConnection from a server in the IDE

[Rajat Paharia]

Hi Mani -

Have you prefixed your localConnectionID with an underscore?
Try "_id" as opposed to "id".

The other gotcha is just to make sure there aren't two instances of the
receiving swf running (as often is the case when using one of the SWF2EXE
tools), since one will capture all the messages and the other will show
nothing.

best, - rajat

What other issues should I troubleshoot when dealing with a LocalConnection
behaving this way?

Re: [Flashcoders] Testing LocalConnection from a server in the IDE

[Viktor Berzsinszky]

Back in the days as i used flash [dunno bout flash8] you were only 
allowed to send to the host your swf came from. Than you might check the 
encoding format you are using. [you might send "garbage" to the server] 
What about your firewall settings? Can you see the logfiles of the server?

[Flashcoders] Testing LocalConnection from a server in the IDE

[Manuel Saint-Victor]

I have a swf that is sending to a LocalConnection and it works fine when
they are both operating locally but when I place the sending swf to the
server it stops working- this is despite the fact that I have tried placing
an allowDomain in the receiving swf.  I am using Flash 8 as my authoring
environment.

What other issues should I troubleshoot when dealing with a LocalConnection
behaving this way?

Thanks,
Mani
