RE: [Flashcoders] special characters
Enrico, I tried what you've described - indeed! you wrote: How can I write the '' char, inside an html dynamic textfield? In fact, writing char isn't a problem, but loading it from text file is: it's either recognized as tag or (if you use lt; etc) another variable. But if you try create a local var with html inside it, everything is ok. Solution: 1) I'd suggest to use XML file with CDATA instead of plain text. Do you mind? 2) If the first doesn't fit you, maybe try to use another char/combination in your txt file, then after loading replace them with or using string manipulations. And then assign this string to a textfield. -- Best regards, Gregory_GOusable http://GOusable.com Flash components development. Usability services. I need to write, inside a .txt file that must be load into a dynamic textfield, the char '' and ''; but, if I wrote so, the loading stop when arrive to '', because Flash think this is the start of a tag, and I can't write neither 'lt;' nor 'gt;', because '' for Flash it means the start of a new text block. Where can I find a table of equivalent 'coded' chars, that is possible to use within Flash? Enrico Tomaselli + web designer + [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.metatad.it Well, I find on Macromedia site the table that I search, but the trouble its always on... If, instead than '' I write %3C, Flash recognize this like '', and it think that is a tag open, then - without the expected tag close - the load of following text stops. Trying to find a solution to this, I have met another strange behavior: thinkin' that, if the problem is the 'open without close tag', I wrote something like this condition 1: %3Cfont color=#ff%3E/font condition 2 where, obviously, white (#ff) is the background color; well, Flash show like below! condition 1: condition 2 Then, what it done is the follow: - don't stop the following text loading - don't show the char '' - instead show the char '', that should be white (no visible) ... I'm upcoming to become crazy! There is a solution to this problem? How can I write the '' char, inside an html dynamic textfield?

This is very annoying and leads to a tedioous extra step of moving the buttins or their hot area to make them work... This might be caused by having the text area as 'selectable'.

Re: [Flashcoders] special characters
In which case the onData option might be your best bet. The text files can then be whatever you like - it's up to you to process them in whatever way you wish. Basically by providing your own LoadVars.onData() function, you completely replace Flash's default processing of text files - you are just handed the raw text as a string and can do what you like with it. Take a look in the documentation.

Re: [Flashcoders] dispatching events from a class
Hi Javier,
This is because you've got things happening in the wrong order:
- You create your EventTry() object, which calls init()
- Init fires the event, but onEvent is still undefined
- Init then calls die()
- Die() deletes the EventTry object
- You then set onEvent to your function - after everything else has already
happened.
You need to set the onEvent object _before_ you fire the event to have
anything
meaningful happen.
I can't understand how your old classes would have worked, looking at this
code. Perhaps you're doing something slightly differently now?
Hope that helps,

Re: [Flashcoders] dispatching events from a class
The whole deal with event dispatching is that you listen for certain event to
take place from the outside, not from the inside.
The way you have it now, you're not really making use of event dispatching
(well only in an weird way), but it's more like adding
(overriding) a method of the class.
instance.onEvent=function(){}
You should do something like this:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
function eventHandler(o:Object) {
trace(EVENT ::: eventHandler);
}
var etry:EventTry=new EventTry();
etry.addEventListener(eventName, Delegate.create(this, this.eventHandler));
The only problem you might then run into is that if you try to dispatch an
event in the constructor of the class (or the init method
called from the constructor) is that the EventDispacher mixin has not taken
place yet. There's a delay (1 frame?) you have to take
into account. You can get around that by using a setInterval or if the class
extends the MovieClip class, by defining an onLoad
method in the class and dispatch the event there.

Muzak

private function init() {
dispatchEvent({type:onEvent, target:this});
}
}
and in the fla,
import EventTry;
//
var eventry:EventTry=new EventTry();
eventry.onEvent=function(){
trace(onEvent fired);
}
I make this class just as an example. Other classes I do before in the
flashmx2004 ide run well.
Please, try to look at it again,

Re: [Flashcoders] dispatching events from a class
that still wont work because you are dispatching the event before you
bind the function as the handler.
what are you trying to achieve (apart from getting the event to fire), i
know this is just an example, but it seems a bit strange.
anyway, you cant call init in the constructor to dispatch the event,
because theres no method to handle the event.
you could take out the call to init from the constructor and call it
seperately, then it should work :
var eventry:EventTry=new EventTry();
eventry.onEvent=function(){
trace(onEvent fired);
}
eventry.init();

4 per instance. Everytime you make a new instance of your class, 4 new
methods are added to the instance, meaning 4 more functions in RAM vs.
just
4 on the prototype, and all instances, 1 or million, all pointing to
just
those same 4 in memory.
You use a static initializer to do this, it runs once, during the class
registration phase.
class YourClass
{
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
private var dispatchEvent:Function;
private static var mixin:Void =
EventDispatcher.initialize(YourClass.prototype);
}
From then on, you can use the functions as you have; this is just way
more
efficient for RAM usage.
To your credit, a lot of base classes such as UIComponent, in both
Flex,
Flash, and Flex 2 ActionSript 3 utilize events from yourself, so
the:
addEventListener(mouseDown, this);
Will be more common.

Yes ok Muzak, but for example, it's the way the Tween class were
implemented. It is like an onEnterFrame build in event, just to get
less code lines in the main movie.
I do not remember who, but someone discuss this issue, relating how to
implement the EventDispatcher class, and explaining to do it in the
constructor.

Re: [Flashcoders] dispatching events from a class = HELP
You need to use the Delegate in your addEventListener line - because you're passing clickTab to a completely different object, which will later call back to clickTab, but doesn't have the correct context. Passing this.clickTab isn't enough - passing Delegate.create(this,clickTab) should be enough. I know it's odd. This is changed in AS3.

The original issue was a banner that was failing to POST information on the ad network in IE/Win. It turns out that IE does not want to POST any information to a new window when the Flash piece is in an iframe (thanks David). GET works fine. The amount of information being transferred necessitates using POST so the solution we ended up going with was: - transfer the bulk of the information using an XMLSocket - return a unique id to the Flash client - use a LoadVars.send() GET with the unique id to pop up the new window and continue doing what we need to do I had tried doing some DOM stuff with creating a form in the iframe on the fly using the JavaScript pseudo-protocol and getURL. That worked with Mozilla, but IE didn't like that either.

RE: [Flashcoders] ScrollPane weirdness
Thanks for the suggestion. To clarify, the setScrollProperties is acting on the scrollPane instance? I tried a variation of this after the swf finished loading, and it didn't change the behavior of the scrollbars unfortunately. Is that method (setScrollProperties) documented somewhere? Interestingly, If I check the height of the swf scrollPaneInstance.content._height it comes up about a hundred pixels short.

Re: [Flashcoders] Class Loading
Depends on when. There are 3 main time intervals that matter: - class export frame - class runtime initialization - SWF runtime class meshing * runtime shared libraries By default, in Flash MX 2004, classes are exported on frame 1; meaning they are initialized on frame 0 (which you can't do anything on), and I think static initializers are run on frame 1. So, if you leave the default on, you can access your classes from frame 1, and on. However, if your classes are exported on frame 2 or beyond, you'll have to wait for that particular frame to be fully downloaded. Additionally, some classes utilize runtime changes, such as EventDispatcher, DataSelector, and DataProvider. So, assuming your class does not depend on occuring before those events (which most never do), then you are usually fine as well. Runtime loading of SWF's, however, confuses me, and I haven't seen a defintive source that describes in what version, what happens in a loaded SWF has the same class, who overrwrites what, etc. Additionally, although Remote Shared Libraries act like #1, I don't know when they are actually insantiated, but I believe if you export them on frame 1, you can treat them as #1; I always have as compoents and they work fine. - Original Message - From: Bruno Mosconi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2005 4:55 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Class Loading How do I make sure that all Classes are fully loaded?

I have kinda given up. So I started searching for an alternative to Flash Remoting, and I came accoss a site that sells software called Emissary. The site is flashlinksolutions.com http://flashlinksolutions.com/. Does anyone out there know anything about this company and their software? It looks like it does what I am looking for, but I am not sure. If anyone has any experience with this product, please let me know as I don't want to drop $50 and find out it isn't what I am looking for.

Nope, this is part of the security sandbox since Flash 5. You will need
either:
- the swf to reside on anniegroove.blogspot.com
- a shim.swf to reside on the above domain that merely says
System.allowDomain(*);
- a crossdomain.xml file to reside on the above domain that allows your
site
- a proxy
The most common solution is a proxy since it only requires very little
code,
and can reside on your site. Basically, PHP/ASP/ColdFusion, whatever,
loads
the XML file from the other domain, and passes it to Flash. Here's how I
not only grab an XML file, but uncompress it for Flash:
?php
$file = gzfile($HTTP_POST_VARS[filename]);
echo theXML= . implode(, $file);
?
My swf just does a LoadVars.sendandLoad to that PHP file, with a filename
variable, and it returns the XML as a string, which I then just toss to an
XML object.

Hi, i have made a flash 7 blog that uses blogger's xml output. It works
perfectly when i test locally. But when i access the file from website,
the
xml object never returns success... Maybe its a cross-domain problem with
flash ?
The xml comes form http://anniegroovie.blogspot.com/atom.xml
Anyone knows what the problem could be ?

If the XML file isn't gzipped, I'm not sure what that would return.
Are you uploading that PHP file to your server and doing something like:
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.owner = this;
lv.filepath = http://anniegroovie.blogspot.com/atom.xml;;

Re: [Flashcoders] blogger with flash
why LoadVars? Just do a XML load of a proxy file which will in turn
return your XML?

Thats the flavor of proxy that I like to use.

Re: [Flashcoders] blogger with flash
You don't have to; my PHP was setup to load from a filename, a filename
variable you had to pass to Flash. If he hardcodes the filename in the PHP,
he doesn't have to.
