[Flashcoders] AS3 Hi-Jinks : Call to a possibly undefined method
My Lord, I'm having a splendid time when AS3 - but some of theses errors
are heinous...
"Call to a possibly undefined method moveTo through a reference with
static type Test"
So, I've got this class Test, which extends Sprite and is attempting to
call this.moveTo(0,0)
I'm know that Sprite has a moveTo method - inherited from
flash.display.Graphics. So, I'm not seeing how this is "possibly
undefined". And "through a reference with static type Test"? There is
nothing static about my Test class.
Any idears?
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Test extends Sprite {
public function Test() {
this.moveTo(0,0);
}

AS3 noob question ahoy!
I'm reading the AS3 reference trying to get accustomed to the idea, but some
things (though they look better) i don't really get right away :) Hence my
feeling of incredible stupidity.
I realise the AS3 in the reference is Flex-related, but in Flash IDE terms, how
would i do something like this in AS3:
var baseClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("gameworld",1);
var backGround = baseClip.createEmptyMovieClip("game_bg",1);
I get how much more practical myClip = new MovieClip(); looks, but i don't get
how i connect a clip created this way with the traditional clip hierarchy. Is
that out the window as well?
The reference describes |DisplayObjectContainer.addChild(), but i'm guessing
this doesnt really count for how it'll work in the Flash IDE?
Any helpful hints at what the future holds? :)

What I don't get is why it needs "this.addChild" instead of just
addChild. I've been sick of the keyword "this" for a long time and have
since avoided it in AS2.
Any reason that it needs to be back in for AS3?

They can collect all the fonts used in a project so that when passing the source file to a bureau for print the exact same fonts are supplied along with the artwork and layout. I cannot begin to list all the times we have encountered major pain because the designer who created a particular FLA has lost the fonts or reinstalled their operating system or for whatever reason can no longer get their hands on the fonts. It is such a phenomenal pain in the tits. In terms of production time this is a VERY costly problem. We have literally wasted hours screwing around with fonts trying to track down the exact font used in a particular file. Sometimes the font might be correct version - but different kerning table means it reflows everywhere. Aggh. Often made worse by the way that font names are handled differently in Flash than in other programs using the exact same file. The scope for confusion is enormous. Even using third party font management tools like suitcase does not alleviate the problems because of the way that most design applications will install their own dirty secret fonts into the system fonts folder. Given the number of FLA files that are shared from designer to developer, agency to client to agency to freelancer etc. I simply cannot understand why Macromedia never saw fit to implement a utility like Quark has so it would be easy to collect all the fonts used in a particular file for handoff to the next part of the production workflow. The chance of font piracy is not a strong enough argument to explain why this critical design feature has been left out. After all anyone wanting to pirate fonts can just swap the contents of their system fonts folder etc. Clearly, I sincerely hope this is included in the next version of the Flash IDE - but I'm not holding my breath as it's been a submitted wishlist item since version 3 or 4! In the meantime it would be great if there was a way to handle this with JSFL. Unfortunately I can't see any way to access the fonts used property of a document. I'm sure we are not the only agency nearly driven to dementia with these kind of Flash font related issues. If anyone else out there shares our anguish please speak up, we need to convince Adobe to include proper font management in the next Flash IDE. And on the offchance that anyone has found a funky solution to this most annoying of problems, I will at the very least buy you a case of your favorite beer. And if anyone has any insights to how this could be pulled off with JSFL I would be very interested to discuss. OK anyone that made it this far thanks for listening to my ranting. Maybe we're the only Flash agency lame enough to be so badly affected by such font problems coz I don't really see this discussed anywhere, or maybe there's some really slick or simple solution that everyone else is using...but I'm betting not. In which case it seems like an extension that could fix this would be a *really* shit hot item for someone to develop and offer to the Flash community as a whole.

RE: [Flashcoders] XML->PHP->FLASH
I believe JSON relies on the ability to eval a string into an object,
which flash can't do without some help.
Eg: eval('{ key: "value" }');
Won't work in Flash, you'd have to parse the string - then why not parse
XML

And what about JSON? Did it make any inroads into Flash yet? Seems much
more terse and useful for bare-struct juggling than XML.

RE: [Flashcoders] XML->PHP->FLASH
That is true. There's mucho overhead with serializing things to XML. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ettwein, Josh Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 1:25 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] XML->PHP->FLASH If you're already using PHP on the server side, I can't see why you wouldn't use AMF - it's binary, where xml is not, and is far more verbose to send across the pipe. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shaw, Matt (MTVN) Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 9:43 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] XML->PHP->FLASH Or don't write any XML at all.

RE: [Flashcoders] Showing Preloader for the same SWF
Classes and linked MovieClips are exported on Frame 1 by default. Those
items are probably the bulk of your SWF. You can specify the export
frame for classes in the publish settings for ActionScript. For
MovieClips, I usually have all design in a shared library, which I place
on a frame > 1.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Showing Preloader for the same SWF
Got a problem in showing a preloader of a file which is being loaded.
This file is embedded in the html file itself, so the preloader appears
for a few seconds before the whole file loads.
Another issue that I face in preloading files which has multiple scenes.
It seems that every scene is treated as separate movies and not get
loaded in a single go.
This is my code that tracks the loading.
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (checkLoading == true) {
if (_root.getBytesLoaded()>4) {
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() ==
_root.getBytesTotal()) {
play();
}else{
var per =
Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100);
mainPreloader_mc.main_preloaderText.text = per+"%";
}
}
}
};
Am I missing anything?
Do let me know
Thanks
