I've done no complex Flash for a couple years and also can find answers to my problems on stackexchange and blogs much easier than a few years ago. On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 12:10 PM, John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Where is everyone
Hi John, I have no idea where everyone goes to discus flash topics, but I know for me, I depend on StackOverflow.com. A question for you though since you wrote and I know you do a lot AIR. I took it upon myself to leverage WordPress as a CMS platform and use AIR for the mobile front end. AIR is essentially the shell and WordPress is the content. I'm making what is essentially a Whisper app clone. I have a big decision though and I'm not sure what direction to go. It has to with StageWebView. StageWebView is in many ways limiting, but if I used it to display content, development would be more rapid and I could more easily take advantage of open source tools. The main trade off is a little less refined control over cosmetics and user experience. Then again, with CSS3 and recent improvements, it's a now a little easier to create a unique experience with HTML/JavaScript. Alternatively, I'm finding it relative easy to access and load WordPress data into AIR via JSON, but displaying what may be 1000's of posts requires a lot of code and thought. WordPress makes it so you hardly have to think about this in StageWebView. For instance, AIR has no native kinetic scrolling. I've found a good library which I'm now using, but at the cost of 5 or 6 hours research. StageWebView would have solved it instantly. What do you do? I hope everyone is having a nice holiday. Sorry to hijack your thread, but with so little activity on this mailing list I thought it made sense. Thank you, Kurt On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 1:10 PM, John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Where is everyone
Hi, I’m afraid I won’t be much help to you. I really don’t do any web development anymore. I think the last time was 2013 (maybe). I build pure applications that run on PC/MAC/IOS/ANDROID. They are only use net connections to pull data, but minimally. My games are self-contained, tracking and all. The marketing, training and/or presentational pieces are installed corporate side, so I really don’t have a solution or even a suggestion for you. So very sorry, I’m not more help. I just came across www.krupa.com and their forums are current, so you might try there. Hi-jacking is a good thing if you get some help or a suggestion. :) H:)ppy Thanksgiving and I’ll check out StackOverFlow again. It’s been awhile, since I’ve visited that site, so I’ll have to catch up. Later, John John R.

Here's an update. Flash CC did sort it out but caused a new problem - Flash CC no longer supports TLF text, so all of the TLF text was converted to classic flash text. Unfortunately, it changed size and layout in the conversion and so I've had to revisit all TLF text. The conversion goes to static text, all of the named TLF text then was dangling in code..

Re: [Flashcoders] 1086 syntax error expecting semicolon before leftbrace
I managed to isolate a small part of the project and copied it to a new project - just to experiment. Running as AS2 lost the problematic error completely. Running again as AS3 saw it restored. Despite the compiler saying that it ignores actionscript attached to symbols, that seems to be the problem. Removing an on (release) handler in the AS2 code sees the error go away when building as an AS3 project.

So you're not actually mixing everything together, you're leveraging each one to add an integral piece to your project. You may take on all these jobs yourself, or you may not. Some companies have frontend developers who do HTML/CSS and dedicated Javascript developers to only do JS. It's a different way of thinking than using one platform for everything.

I have used XCode on a Mac to test my Phonegap apps. IIRC, the native wrapper isn't changing, only the internal HTML/CSS/JS, so you don't have to compile like you would with a native app. I also used this to my advantage by building parts of the app in-browser. You could use Angular to structure your app in a MVC-like pattern, and then use Phonegap to deploy it.

RE: [Flashcoders] AIR native extension - Windows debugging
AIR app installs cross a billion - April 2014 now powers almost a hundred thousand unique applications on desktops and mobile devices. http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2014/04/air-app-installs-cross-a-billion.html It's such a great platform still - I've been using it to make ios apps with good results. The weakness is how it is perceived. But clients do smile at the reduced developer costs and its great capabilities. If only adobe would hire an a-list PR firm to change the perception to match the reality.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR native extension - Windows debugging
The rumors of Flash dying are overblown. The Flash and AIR runtimes are still great at what they do. Apple pulled a stunt to shame Flash, but the truth is that they just wanted to protect their appstore. They didn't want to kill Flash. They wanted to kill Flash apps in the browser. They have succeeded, within their target market. Developers obeyed the dictators and moved to the appstore. The runtime remains great. John McCormack skriver: Very comprehensive!

Re: [Flashcoders] Giving dynamic object a custom variable
It's not that difficult if you do it right. First, I'm not a fan of timeline code except for defining sections, such as stop on a keyframe, and minor control commands like gotoAndStop and gotoAndPlay. The rest I like to do in an external ActionScript file. I haven't used the Flash IDE in 3-4 years--I use Flex and FlashBuilder almost exclusively now--but let's see what I can remember. First, when you create the movie clip, click Export for ActionScript. Let's say your mc is called movingSprite. It will have a class name of movingSprite. You can change that if you want. If you already have the mc in the library, right-click and choose properties. That will bring up the same dialog--check Export for ActionScript. In the Properties tab (often called the Property Inspector), declare a document class. That just means the class that will run when you launch the movie. Let's call it myDocClass. Now create the document class. Choose File - New... and choose ActionScript Class. Name it myDocClass, and Flash will create a new actionScript class file. Create another class file and name it movingSprite.as. Now you can create an instance of the movie clip and assign it variables. I wouldn't do that in the document class, though. I would declare them in the class file. Cordially, Kerry Thompson On Fri, Aug 15, 2014 at 2:23 PM, Ted Lehr t...@qvine.com wrote: How can I create a variable in a dynamic object?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML
Hmmm... that's very strange re: the HTML file-- but it's definitely getting rebuilt during the build process. Are you modifying the index.html file in the Export/html5/bin directory? Anyway, as I said, this is the least important gripe... I'll take a further look at greensock-- it look especially good for complex animation, whereas I often do complex interactions. It doesn't seem as much directed towards mouse/touch detection/dragging for canvas elements (although it looks like tweaking Draggable may allow that)...

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML
@Cedric, Finally got a chance to play around a bit with Haxe-- really looks promising! I'm wondering how you approach combining HTML with the more complex Flash-style content-- do you compile your Haxe files and then add the appropriate div's etc into a separate HTML file? I.e. it looks like Haxe is best used to embed (canvas) content, rather than for full page display? If this is so, have you played around with multiple canvases on a single page? ...and thanks for lead! I'm looking forward to investigating further... --Dave On Jun 23, 2014, at 9:00 AM, flashcoders-requ...@chattyfig.figleaf.com wrote: @David: You can render HTML5 in openGL with Haxe/OpenFL. OpenGL is default on all teh native targets, the html5 target is still not 100% there, but there's a new backend for it which has improved things massively. Bitmap animation is no problem, either using OpenFL or the createJS extensions if you just want to ttarget JS. You can compile your Haxe code to AS3, not just to a swf if you want. Coming from AS3 their are tools to convert your AS3 to Haxe, in general these are good, but don't expect to port a massive codebase over withtou getting your hands dirty. Yes you can compile to PHP for your server side work, or nodeJS, Neko, C++, C#, Java and there's a Python target too now :) This is my favourite thing abotu Haxe, writing for server and client in the same language. You can communicate via remoting, sockets, whatever, and you use the EXACT SAME classes at either end. Not 2 diff represetations, or a 3rd protocol just to communicate. You can also easily move logic from client to server and back depending on where it fits best etc. It's awesome :) @Cedric: Nice to see you on board the Haxe train!

That is a relative url. So the videos need to be in the same directory as the

Was it my url that didn't work? It worked on my iPhone. I do not have an iPad

Contact me off list and we will finish discussing it. I only posted here

Re: [Flashcoders] Html coding: video for iPad and Flash on one page
Here is the code that I use (thank you Karl) and it works. Maybe it will be
useful for somebody. I try now to find way to change look of a controls
panel so the panel don't cover bottom of the video and text.
If anybody solved this task please give me advice. Thank you for all your
help.

This one should do the trick. It's device independent. Even checks to see if

Well, it may not be the best solution, but technically my code is not
sniffing the userAgent the way your implying, it's sniffing for a device name
in the userAgent string. Doesn't matter what version of iPhone you have
because the name iPhone will always be in the userAgent string for a web
browser on an iPhone. Same with the name windows, android, Symbian etc etc.
If I were sniffing the userAgent string for a browser version I would agree
with you. My script has survived three iPhones so far. :) But I will look
into your suggestion. Thank you.

not predict what user agent strings will look like in the future, and are
bound to serve up the wrong content to the wrong people.
This problem has been solved by JS developers, and it's called feature
detection. Instead of relying upon user agent sniffing, check whether the
browser supports video tags.
This library is all you need. http://modernizr.com/
Then you can simply do:
if(Modernizr.video){
//code to show html5 video
} else {
//code to show flash video

var nAgt = navigator.userAgent;
var isMobile = {

}
};
if( isMobile.any() ) {
location.href = HTML5/index.html ;
} else {
location.href = FLASH/index.html ;
}
/script
You can also chek for individual devices by just calling any of the
following...
isMobile.Android()
isMobile.BlackBerry()
isMobile.iOS()
isMobile.Windows()
isMobile.Symbian()
You can also add your own deviced if you know the userAgent. Just add it
to the array! :)
Now, this does not check if flash is installed. I have the old skool flash
fallback for that and
a link to the html 5 page in there as well so if they know they have a
html5 compatible
desktop browser, they can just click that if they don't what to install
flash per se.

Re: [Flashcoders] Html coding: video for iPad and Flash on one page
Do not sniff for user agents! What will your code do when someone uses the
next iPhone? Or if they have opera installed on their amazon fire? You can
not predict what user agent strings will look like in the future, and are
bound to serve up the wrong content to the wrong people.
This problem has been solved by JS developers, and it's called feature
detection. Instead of relying upon user agent sniffing, check whether the
browser supports video tags.
This library is all you need. http://modernizr.com/
Then you can simply do:
if(Modernizr.video){
//code to show html5 video
} else {
//code to show flash video

Re: [Flashcoders] Html coding: video for iPad and Flash on one page
Well, it may not be the best solution, but technically my code is not sniffing
the userAgent the way your implying, it's sniffing for a device name in the
userAgent string. Doesn't matter what version of iPhone you have because the
name iPhone will always be in the userAgent string for a web browser on an
iPhone. Same with the name windows, android, Symbian etc etc. If I were
sniffing the userAgent string for a browser version I would agree with you. My
script has survived three iPhones so far. :) But I will look into your
suggestion. Thank you.

var nAgt = navigator.userAgent;
var isMobile = {
Android: function() {
return nAgt.match(/Android/i) ? true : false;
},
BlackBerry: function() {
return nAgt.match(/BlackBerry/i) ? true : false;
},
iOS: function() {
return nAgt.match(/iPhone|iPad|iPod/i) ? true : false;
},
Windows: function() {
return nAgt.match(/IEMobile/i) ? true : false;
},
Symbian: function() {
return nAgt.match(/SymbianOS/i) ? true : false;
},
any: function() {
return (isMobile.Android() || isMobile.BlackBerry() || isMobile.iOS()
|| isMobile.Windows() || isMobile.Symbian());
}
};
if( isMobile.any() ) {
location.href = HTML5/index.html ;
} else {
location.href = FLASH/index.html ;
}
/script
You can also chek for individual devices by just calling any of the following...
isMobile.Android()
isMobile.BlackBerry()
isMobile.iOS()
isMobile.Windows()
isMobile.Symbian()
You can also add your own deviced if you know the userAgent. Just add it to the
array! :)
Now, this does not check if flash is installed. I have the old skool flash
fallback for that and
a link to the html 5 page in there as well so if they know they have a html5
compatible
desktop browser, they can just click that if they don't what to install flash
per se.
HTH.

write.

You'll have to change width/height to match video.

Re: [Flashcoders] Html coding: video for iPad and Flash on one page
You don't embed QuickTime for iOS, you use the html5 video tag.
Whatever solution you use should do that when flash isn't detected.

If, like me, you're using CS6 instead of doing the CC subscription route, there's a Toolkit for that as well (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/createjs.html). I'm just beginning to look at this, and additionally I have the luxury of starting with some simple content. I fear that if your content is very complex, especially time-based, that it will be at best a publish-and-tweak scenario, with the tweaking being arduous. I also wonder about performance. Check out http://www.createjs.com/#!/CreateJS for more understanding of what's going on under the hood. That having been said, tom 's mention of haxe looks interesting. Have you done any serious graphics with it, and does it perform well? Does it use OpenGL for vector rendering? How about bitmap animation?

If, like me, you're using CS6 instead of doing the CC subscription route, there's a Toolkit for that as well (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/createjs.html). I'm just beginning to look at this, and additionally I have the luxury of starting with some simple content. I fear that if your content is very complex, especially time-based, that it will be at best a publish-and-tweak scenario, with the tweaking being arduous. I also wonder about performance. Check out http://www.createjs.com/#!/CreateJS for more understanding of what's going on under the hood. That having been said, tom 's mention of haxe looks interesting. Have you done any serious graphics with it, and does it perform well? Does it use OpenGL for vector rendering? How about bitmap animation? Is there a robust actionScript exporter, or is it more of a re-implementation?

Worth checking out? https://helpx.adobe.com/flash/how-to/creating-publishing-html5-canvas-document.html Jason Merrill Look at Haxe, www.haxe.org and in particular OpenFL lib ( http://www.openfl.org/) to use with it, port your AS3 to Haxe (there are automated tools for this, but you'll probably still have to get your hands dirty) and from there you should be good with a few tweaks to compile with OpenFL to HTML5, iOS, Android and lots of other targets all from the same codebase. Seriously I've been using Haxe for years now, mostly to make programming server side and javascript much much easier coming from AS3. I've tapped prbably 5% of it's potential ;) It's awesome. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML
Hi Mike, Not sure what you mean? I have a game that is written in AS3 and deployed via AIR to PC and MAC desktop, iPad’s and Android. Now my client wants to take it online, but I can’t use it as a Flash site, but then IOS and Android tablets won’t be able to access the app. So it will have to go to HTML5/CSS/jQuery. I’m just curious if there are any conversion tools to either automate that process or at least convert most of it and I’ll code the rest. Thanks, John John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML
Has anyone played with this? Everything I’ve read, timeline animations can get converted and simple code. I have a 5 frame app that has 50 layers, 1000+ library elements and thousands of lines of code that the client now wants to go online for all platforms. What a surprise. ;) I’ll look into the latest update more closely, but was just wondering of things like Google Swiffy had gotten better or something else had come along. I’ll glad do the research, just wonder if anyone could point me in a direction. Thanks, John John R.
