Re: [Flashcoders] DisplacementMapFilter and 2880 pixel limit
On 11/9/05, Claudia Barnal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When reading the DisplacementMapFilter documentation I found this piece of information: A filter is not applied if the resulting image would exceed 2880 pixels in width or height. For example, if you zoom in on a large movie clip with a filter applied, the filter is turned off if the resulting image reaches the 2880-pixel limit. So, my question is: How can I dynamically know the width of the resulting image? Can you use BitmapData.generateFilterRect ? Determines the destination rectangle that the applyFilter() method call affects, given a BitmapData object, a source rectangle, and a filter object. For example, a blur filter normally affects an area larger than the size of the original image. A 100 x 200 pixel image that is being filtered by a default BlurFilter instance, where blurX = blurY = 4 generates a destination rectangle of (-2,-2,104,204). The generateFilterRect() method lets you find out the size of this destination rectangle in advance so that you can size the destination image appropriately before performing a filter operation. -David R ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Ajax and Flash
AJAX is based on javascript Ascynch callbacks. Flash can process web requests asynchronously using Events.

I wish all this marketing hyperbole in regards to web 2.0 and AJAX would blow away. At least users without javascript on their browsers (or not even using a browser) can run flash asynchronously..oh yeah, and its cross platform.

[Flashcoders] Dynamic resizing of flash object throught JS calls
Hey folks!
I have here flash page which is ment to change it's size dynamcally
through JS calls but somehow I cannt manage to get it bug free on
anything else than FireFox.
The idea is that I have flash movie with:
[AS]
Stage.scaleMode = noScale;
Stage.align = TL;
[/AS]
initaly set to width and height 100% of page, when flash content
expands I call fscommand that gets throught to JS located in page that
does the very simple thing like:
[JS]
var element = document.all ? document.all[objectID] : document[objectID];
if(document.body.clientHeight __height){
element.height = document.body.clientHeight;
} else {
element.height = __height;
}
[/JS]
Movie handles Stage.onResize events and keep itself centered horizontally.
As i allready mentioned everything is beautifull in FF while IE shows
strange behavior, flash object is resized only in case __height (which
is fscommand param for ner height) is larger than current size of
flash object, so calls that should make flash object smaller doesnt
seem to be applyed. Even thought IE do receive new values, as I
tested.
Just tested that in Opera 9 and it gets even worse somehow Opera
thinks that flash has made infinte loop, think that might be something
with way Opera flash plugin deals with flash loadMovie calls.
One thing I thought about as possible cause for those errors might be
flash javascript communication kit, which i am using togeather with
fscommand to have flash js communications though it would be kindof
strange if it would affect sutch things.
At this point I'm with no clue how to make it right, any help will be
appreciated.

RE: [Flashcoders] onMouseMove false
I think you'll have to use an interval, but you don't have to constantly

this.onMouseMove = function(){
// When the mouse is moved, clear any pending not moved timeout
// interval so the callback *isn't* called (Note
// clearMouseNotMoveTimeout isn't a real API function)...
clearMouseNotMoveTimeout();
// Do processing for mouse movement...
moving=true;
// Reset the not moved timeout interval callback (note this would be
// a call to something like setInterval(); setMouseNotMoveTimeout
// isn't a real API function)...
setMouseNotMoveTimeout(notMoveTimeoutCallback);
}
function notMoveTimeoutCallback(){
// Handle code for mouse not moving in specified timeframe...
}

[Flashcoders] strange behavior of img in textfield
Well, I load dynamically some text into a textfield, from a .txt file. The file has inside the HTML code to load some jpg images too. The size of textfield is 576 px horizontal, and 403 vertical. The first strange behavior, is that if the image is large 570 px, the textfield show it truncated on right side, and dont load the following text; after some trying, I solve this setting the size of image at 540 px. Well, now the image is showed fully, and the following text is loaded... but - and this is the very strange behavior - the text is hidden behind the image for the rows that is equivalent to height of image itself! The only way to see all the text, is to set the image size at a significant minor width than the textfield width (i.e., 360 px); if so, the text flow around the image. The problem is that I need some large image. How can I move around this bug?

If it is the first one, I really would appreciate if you guys could point me to some docs where I can find out. If it is the latter, please tell me, so that I can stop looking for an answer. Thank you very much, and sorry to insist ;) Caludia When reading the DisplacementMapFilter documentation I found this piece of information: A filter is not applied if the resulting image would exceed 2880 pixels in width or height. For example, if you zoom in on a large movie clip with a filter applied, the filter is turned off if the resulting image reaches the 2880-pixel limit. So, my question is: How can I dynamically know the width of the resulting image?

[Flashcoders] Singleton in AS3

Re: [Flashcoders] TextField Caret Callback?
Actually, I take that back. The only way to move a caret position is with
the arrow keys and a mouse click, right?
You could then do something like:
lastIndex = null;
function onKeyDown()
{
checkForChange();
}
function onKeyUp()
{
checkForChange();
}
function onMouseDown()
{
checkForChange();
}
function onMouseUp()
{
checkForChange();
}
function checkForChange()
{
if(Selection.getFocus() == my_txt)
{
var currentIndex = Selection.getCaretIndex();
if(currentIndex != lastIndex)
{
// change event
}
}
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] TextField Caret Callback?
I need to know when the text field's insertion caret or selection is changed
either by the keyboard or by the mouse.
Is there any textfield function to do this, or any easy way to do it?
I know I can add listeners for Mouse and Keyboard, filter out unwanted
events,
check the Selection object etc, but I was hoping there was an easy way to
restrict it to the text field of interest without writing the code to figure
that out myself.

Re: [Flashcoders] Questions Using MVC Pattern with Flash
The Command pattern is a true design pattern, while MVC is an architectural pattern. It's difficult to explain how one could be used in place of the other because the Command pattern can be used inside an MVC design/architecture. Similarly, MVC can be used inside a Command. I believe Brent's original question dealt with using MVC triads throughout an application design. I felt he was on the right track understanding the need to separate model from view, but could benefit from using the Command pattern to encapsulate actions. It would lessen the complexity (and thus improve the scalability) of his application. It's for this reason I suggested ARP. ARP has a good implementation of the Command pattern. Rather than redesign his own framework, Brent could benefit from using one that has a good community around it.

That's fine for use Flashers who are used to using such methods to get what we want.

Bottom line, they see our methods as hacks, and that's a bad thing. The correct way is to use getInstance, yes. But, it should also throw an exception if you try to instantiate it: var a:MyClass = new MyClass(); That should not work, but it does currently because you have no choice. In an effort to make ActionScript more clean, strict, and helpful, this is one of the additions.

Or you can try this little thing I made here, exactly for looping mp3
seamlessly :

it's just a Class that I packaged with helpPanel and codehints info. You
got all the info needed to make it work inside.
Hope this helps and works out well

You are right about the typo but even after fixing the typo it still does
not loop.
Is it true that streaming external audio will not loop?

Does anyone have a basic AS2Lib example application they don't mind sharing? Coming from an ARP perspective, AS2Lib looks like it provides the same benefits, but the learning curve is harder.

[Flashcoders] Multilingual Dynamic TextFields
Hi, I've got a Flash app that needs to display Japanese text on demand. I'm getting the text via Flash Remoting back to CF from SQL Server. Works fine so long as I don't have the TextField.embedFonts = true. It would appear that the fonts I've imported into the movie don't have the outlines I'm looking for - is there something I'm missing here? I had thought by creating a font symbol, I had all the unicode font outlines. Is this not the case? Do I need to specially stipulate the range I'm looking for? Note that I'm not creating any TextFields in the Flash IDE itself - everything is being done via ActionScript.

[Flashcoders] HTTP 206 Partial Content and LoadMovie
I do not believe that the problem is related to the 206 HTTP response. I have seen the same thing happen with only 2 swf libraries. Im not a flash coder myself, but I can vouch for the fact that there can be a load ordering dependency introduced when multiple objects are loaded that results in a hang.

RE: [Flashcoders] Detecting when a swf loses focus
There is code out there used to fake modal dialogs in a browser that checks
if a browser window loses focus and forces the window to take focus again.
Really, a google search will help you on your way. Writing JS isn't too
difficult if you know AS1.
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/javascript_modal_dialog.asp
Basically, the event is onBlur.
body onBlur=myLoseFocusFunction();
function myLoadFocusFunction() {
-- tell flash something if you want
-- or handle it directly in the browser
-- like alert(You have attempted # times to exit the test);
-- and on the threshold, you can load another page that doesn't have
-- the flash anymore
}
I'm sure there's an easy solution to what you're trying to do.

Re: [Flashcoders] Singleton in AS3
Have anyone got ideas how to implement Singleton pattern in AS3 best?
Constructor in AS3 can only be public or internal, which is not private
anyway
Hey Michael,
One way (as mentioned in another email) is to throw an error in the
constructor if some restriction has not been met. The following example may
not be the *greatest* hack, because there really isn't any way to catch the
error that's being thrown. But it's a hack that gets you to a singleton with
pretty high confidence that it was created via the factory method. Another
(more complicated) alternative is to use some convoluted namespace scheme.
Another (less reliable) possibility is to simply pass an argument to the
constructor - and throw if the argument is null.
I have to admit that I've been one of the most vocal proponents for the
private constructor argument, but want to make the point that the Singleton
pattern should be avoided whenever possible. It's very difficult to isolate
and test singletons, you wind up needing to add a destroy method or some
such other hack.
In my experience, almost every time I find myself leaning toward a
Singleton, I find a more elegant OO solution.
Here's a pretty good discussion about why to avoid Singletons:
http://www.softwarereality.com/design/singleton.jsp
I hope this helps.

[Flashcoders] hot spots for buttons not where they appear
Hello--- I hope someone can help me with this problem, which I have had a bunch of times in Flash: I often make hypertext in Flash by making an invisible button and placing instances of it on a layer above the text I want to make clickable. I make the button by having nothing in the up, over, or down frames and a square in the hit frame. Then when you drag the button onto the stage, it appears as a transparent blue square which you can resize and place over the text you want people to click, and then you define call-back functions on each instance to make it execute whatever code is desired... (I can't use HTML links to do what I want since I want complex Actionscript to execute when there is a click, not just to load a web page...) Unfortunately, when I test my movies sometimes, the acual hot area is not quite where the blue area is in the authoring environment. I just did a piece with 30 hyperlinked words this way, and the buttons had to be positioned by trial and error and to make them work, they had to be put at least 30 pixels offset from where it looked like they should be placed. Does anyone have an explanation or fix for this? It happens only in some projects and I always create the invisible buttn the same way. I am using Flash MX 2004 Pro on a PC/Win XP.

Re: [Flashcoders] Questions Using MVC Pattern with Flash
Design patterns are just a way of doing things... I once posted on my blog after reading the Head First Design Patterns book (which I think is a must-read for people getting into DP's) that you might know how to play some notes on a guitar (this is would liken to creating some variables), and you may know how to build some chords( classes ) but if you play certain notes and chords a certain way then you might be playing the blues (a design pattern). MVC is a design pattern made of other design patterns. if you get to know those first, you'll understand mvc better. there's a fine line to walk between knowing that you CAN use design patterns in your design, and that you MUST (usually people think this because someone else is doing it). Don't worry about forcing them into your work yet...but look for spots where they might be appropriate and try to work them in (by this i mean, dont worry about starting off saying, i am going to build this using the pattern). Defintely look into ARP...it's a framework that uses a bunch of design patterns to show you a good way to develop a flash app. ( Don't be worried by the word framework either -- you might even think of it as a reusable application template). On 11/9/05, Brent Gore [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think I get the idea, relax about MVC... but not too much ;). Starting out with MVC is kind of like having ten different maps that all get to the same place by different paths. Because of my own specific application needs, certain implementations (or maps) will be much better than others and figuring out which one to use is mind-boggling. Even worse, doing it with Flash is like having an extra mountain range (or something) smack dab in the middle. Taking Mikes suggestion I'm looking into ARP more. It looks pretty good but its kind-of a learning curve. I think the framework will help filter out some of the options. Anywhoo, thanks for your guys' help! I'm sure I'll feel better about this whole thing once I start actually making some progress ;).

I've stayed away from that too. This approach is advantageous when you're working with designers who wants to have full access to your views during design time. I chose not to pass event objects but rather fire a generic onUpdate() event on each listener. Inside oController.onUpdate() I request the info I need from the composited oModel and pass that info along to the composited view_mc. This allowed me to have different views listening to the model and each requesting only the info they needed instead of getting all-or-nothing. When my model's data changed, it all changed but all of it's listening views didn't need all of the data. I like that idea too. It's close to Moock's MVC with Observer Pattern passing only the needed data is really cool. /Johan ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Double line returns when reading vars.txt file
I need help getting a text field to do single line-spacing under an odd circumstance. I'm using LoadVars to read a txt file that my non-programmer client will maintain on his site. To make it more readable for him, I have it formatted like this: --- myContacts= John Doe 15 Elm St. Newville, MD 12345 Bill Henry 23 Apple Terrace Oldtown, ID 54321 Jo Hill 14 Walnut Metropolis, MN 32415 etc. -- This gets displayed in a text field. Problem is, Flash is double-spacing every carriage return. I could reduce the line spacing in the text field, but I also have some text that's displayed from a constant and that text then gets sqeezed much too tight. I don't want to ask the client to put all the text on one line, with br tags. Is there any other way to make the above line breaks come out single rather than double?

Re: [Flashcoders] Expandable banners
ooh we're back on topic :) Thanks for your replies, im going to investigate more about it, just another doubt, an expandable banner has to be in a layer? Yes, because the unexpanded banner space is a fixed size to fit within the page content, the only way to allow the expanded banner to have the new size is to lay it on a layer on top of the existing. This also means you need 2 seperate SWFs for the expanded/unexpanded - there are way to make the two communicate (your banner publisher will have documents and special FScommands for this). I don't know of any books that deal with the technical side of expandable banners (as all publishers handle it differently and are always changing their methods). The only way to get good is really experience and trial and error. - Mick On 11/12/05, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree to disagree. - Original Message - From: Pete Hotchkiss [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 7:19 AM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Expandable banners I think this tread ahs gone WAY OT now - lets just agree to disagree on this one.

Re: [Flashcoders] Double line returns when reading vars.txt file
The only way I know around that without using html formatting is a
processing-intensive replacement of crlf's with just lf's:
str = str.split('\r\n').join('\n');
It's an ok solution if you don't have too much text.

Re: [Flashcoders] Double line returns when reading vars.txt file
Try either saving your text file in unix format (or dos format - you can do this in word). Or replacing carriage returns in flash with line breaks. yourText = blah blah; temp = yourText.split(%r); finalText = temp.join(\r); I'm not 100% sure that %r is the right code for a carriage return, may have to look that up.

Well, now the image is showed fully, and the following text is loaded... but - and this is the very strange behavior - the text is hidden behind the image for the rows that is equivalent to height of image itself! The only way to see all the text, is to set the image size at a significant minor width than the textfield width (i.e., 360 px); if so, the text flow around the image. The problem is that I need some large image. How can I move around this bug?

Re: [Flashcoders] Singleton in AS3
Security by obscurity, while applicable satisfying pioneers early adopters, is still unacceptable; we need private constructors. However, you do bring up a good point; I think, non intentionally, the new mx framework works like that; like, they use namespaces, in part to support namespaces for MXML (I think). - Original Message - From: Fruber Malcome [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Friday, November 11, 2005 10:24 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Singleton in AS3 There are many cases where you'd want to ensure that someone can't create a new instance of a class that you've published. An interesting workaround is to hide your class in a namespace that is 'not publicly known', then write a wrapper class that someone can call NEW on - and the constructor of that class checks to see if that object exists. This doesn't ensure that it doesn't happen, but someone would have to have intimate knowledge of some unknown namespace in order to create an instance of that object.. Just an idea.
