[Flashcoders] OT: Flash player keeps 'downgrading' itself

[Flashcoders] Dynamic layouts
Anyone got good links for writing dynamic layout engines in Flash?

[Flashcoders] External Interface Unicode
I'm trying to pass unicode strings into Flash by using flash8.ocx ActiveX control and the ExternalInterface handlers. Thus far I've been observing the XML serialization that comes out of Flash, and I'm trying to mimick that serialization process in the host application (written in Python.) I see that there is an argument element named string, but I don't have much more information than that. Additionally, I have to strip the ?xml version=1.0 etc. etc. ? off of the document I submit to flash8.ocx(otherwise Flash sends back an error), so I'm skeptical about the XML parser that Flash is using. Is there a way I can inform the Flash deserializer about the encoding I'm using, or some other child element of the element that I should be using to indicate the encoding? Trying to pass some live data Unicode characters into Flash for display using ExternalInterface... any insight greatly welcomed. Yes, 2nd post on this, hoped to bump it up. -Eric ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Measuring the height of a dynamically created text field.
Hello,
Is there anyway to measure the height of a dynamically created
textfield without moving onto the next frame?
Here's my test code.
writeTestField = function () {
this.createTextField(my_txt, 1, 50, 50, 300, 1);
my_txt.type = dynamic;
my_txt.autoSize = true;
my_txt.border = false;
my_txt.background = false;
my_txt.password = false;
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.html = false;
my_txt.embedFonts = true;
my_txt.selectable = false;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.mouseWheelEnabled = true;
my_txt.condenseWhite = false;
my_txt.restrict = null;
my_txt.variable = null;
my_txt.maxChars = null;
my_txt.styleSheet = undefined;
my_txt.tabInded = undefined;
//
// SET THE TEXT
my_txt.text = Vel commodo hendrerit consequat, et augue, odio
facilisis, eu tation odio iriure. Adipiscing, eum, dolor et, vel
aliquip nostrud tincidunt, in luptatum nostrud feugait duis. Exerci in
minim iusto sit in, qui feugiat consequat, dignissim vel adipiscing
duis dignissim lorem feugait. Autem molestie, et quis elit molestie
delenit aliquam eum luptatum feugiat nonummy nulla luptatum vel
commodo illum. Ut qui ullamcorper, in. Augue vel, wisi, ad lobortis at
esse facilisis dolore dolor vel laoreet dolore tation. Aliquip esse

praesent, ut. Eum esse facilisis consequat dolor vel laoreet dolore
tation nisl, esse, ex eu, eros quis ex. Illum, vel eros eu vulputate
dolor erat eu nisl augue illum te, magna iusto odio.;
// APPLY FORMATTING
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
// now we test the height
traceFieldSize();
};
traceFieldSize = function () {
trace(my_txt._height);
trace(my_txt._width);
};
//
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = pixel_reg;
my_fmt.size = 8;
my_fmt.leading = 100;
my_fmt.color = 0x00;
my_fmt.bold = false;
my_fmt.italic = false;
my_fmt.underline = false;
my_fmt.url = ;
my_fmt.target = ;
my_fmt.align = left;
my_fmt.leftMargin = 0;
my_fmt.rightMargin = 0;
my_fmt.indent = 0;
my_fmt.leading = 0;
my_fmt.blockIndent = 0;
my_fmt.bullet = false;
//
writeTestField();
This outputs 16 for the height and 300 for the width. The actual
height of the textfield, via the debugger, is 160.
If I trace the height of the textfield on the next frame it's 160, the
correct size.
Is there a mathod to get the correct field height without going to the
next frame?
Cheers,
Dave

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Flash player keeps 'downgrading' itself
In the case of computers that are downgrading themselves, how many of you have FlashPaper installed. I think Contribute also has a similar issue. That is whenever you launch MS Office apps after upgrading to Flash 8 it will downgrade you to Flash 7 player. But it is a noticeable downgrade in that when you luanch the app, the installer for FlashPaper or Contribute launches and tries to fix things up. At least that was the case with the Flash 8 beta players. I think they fixed something at the end so it shouldn't do that. However there could be a chance that that particular fix isn't applied to the 8.5 alpha player. This is only speculation of course. Sincerely Mark R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Casting stage MCs as MovieClip yields null?!
Hi Scott,
I don't know what your evalAppendedPath contained so I wrote my own to
test your code. Everything worked as expected for me so maybe you have
a typo in your movie clip names or path. I've uploaded an FLA if you
want to take a look at my version:
http://www.synergymedia.net/downloads/evalTest.zip
My code:
function evalAppendedPath (obj:Object, str:String):Object {
// Over simplified because I'm unsure what code
// you actually have in here. This function could
// use error handling.
return eval( obj + . + str );
}
var result:Object = evalAppendedPath( my_mc, some.nested.clip );
trace( result ); // _level0.my_mc.some.nested.clip
trace( typeof( result )); // movieclip
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip( result );
trace( mc ); // _level0.my_mc.some.nested.clip
Let me know if you find your problem,
JOR

Hi there,
I have discovered what appears to be a bug in Flash (player 7): I have
a class method which takes an object and a path string in dot-notation
format, and evaluates the result of the combined path. e.g.
evalAppendedPath( my_mc, some.nested.clip );
would return the object result of: my_mc.some.nested.clip;
This is a general purpose method which can take any object as an
input, and the evaluated result could also be of any type, so the
method return type is always going to be Object.
This method works just fine, and is not the source of the problem.
The problem comes when I know what the expected return type is and I
need to cast it so that I can use it with strong typing. In every
case, casting the returned result works just fine, with the exception
of movieclips placed on the stage at authortime. For example:
var result:Object = evalAppendedPath( my_mc, some.nested.clip );
trace( result ); // _level0.my_mc.some.nested.clip
trace( typeof( result )); // movieclip
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip( result );
trace( mc ); // null
But if I load an external swf asset, evaluate its path, and cast it,
the cast works and doesn't yield null.
Short of changing all my internal class references to type Object
instead of MovieClip (which could cause all sorts of problems trying
to mesh with other code) or loading all my assets externally (which
will cause load time issues) is there anything else I can do?
Thanks!

Re: AW: [Flashcoders] AS3.0 only projects + flex framework
In order to see anything with the debugger you usually need to set a breakpoint somewhere in the code. Right-click in the left margin of the editor and choose toggle breakpoint. Make sure it's inside a script block and on a line that has some executable code on it. Once you've done that, hit the debug button. When the player gets to that line in the code it should pause and you should be able to see all the variables in debug view.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3.0 only projects + flex framework
You should be able to use the Flex framework without requiring any MXML. It might take a bit of detective work, but since all MXML files get turned into ActionScript files prior to being compiled it should definitely be possible. You'll probably get a lot of value out of using mxml.exe at the command line: mxmlc.exe -keep ./Hello.mxml That should cause it to keep the generated .as files when it compiles a .mxml file. By a process of elimination you should be able to figure out what you need to add to your .as projects to get them to work.

have in your file then it will fail.
This should work though, assuming you have a file called test.xml in the
same folder as the XMLTest.as:
XMLTest.as
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.util.trace;
public class XMLTest extends Sprite {
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = test.xml;
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
public function XMLTest() {
myLoader.addEventListener(complete, xmlLoaded);
}
public function xmlLoaded(evtObj:Event) {
myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
trace(Data loaded.);
}
}
}

[Flashcoders] Flash Player 8 and CD based content (that needs javascript!)
OK - quick version of the problem is that my company has lots of learning content made up of flash in html. Often this is delivered as standalone CD's rather than via an LMS. All the flash is authored in Flash MX, and depends on javascript - for navigation and settings flags in the movies and so forth. Any customer who now upgrades to F8 finds it no longer works - any javascript is not called. The only option I can think of is sending every person to the settings manager at the Macromedia website - and that really isn't a good option. Most don't have full internet access (which is why they got the CD version!) - and in any case, these people very often do not like to (or are unable to) work out the settings manager - plus they get worried about why they should need to. Even Macromedia's website admit many customers may not feel like using the settings manager! Can someone please help me out here - how can we get these CD's working? Or more to the point - the javascript working?? I can't really understand why the security is this strict, but as it is - there must be a way to allow local content to call javascript? And even if (God forbid) there isn't an easy way for the existing CD's out there - is there any file/policy file/anything that will mean those made from now on will work? We have literally thousands of courses that need to go on CD's and have access to javascript - it is pretty critical for our company! This is such a common use of flash that I can't believe there isn't an easy answer to this - please someone tell me I'm right!! __ Yahoo!

This can also be an issue with working on a network drive. You should make sure all your .as files are local.
