All variables are always referenced by type, except for the basic
types: Number, String, and the special ones like undefined, null.

There is nothing equivelent to C's pointers in ActionScript (or any of
the ECMAScripts, afaik)

Re: [Flashcoders] droptarget discrepancy (SOLVED)

[Marc Hoffman]

Thanks to Dave Myron for getting me on the right track to fix this. 
Turns out no target was being found at all because of a stage-sized 
movieclip in a higher level. I'd not realized that dropTarget is 
obscured by higher-level objects, and since I was constructing the 
target as a string it looked as if the first part of the target was 
being found when really no target was identified at all.  - Marc

This is baffling me. I have a .swf that lets the user color select a

that Flash drops the LAST part of the target path when not in _Level0.


Here's the relevant code:

//
// get the piece of the uniform to be colored:
lastSlash=this._droptarget.lastIndexOf("/");  // correctly 
returns  "a" "b" or "c"

//
// now, construct the full path to that piece:

//
// color the uniform dropTarget using the color that was chosen (_global.rgb):
targetColor=new Color(myTarget);
targetColor.setRGB("0x"+_global.rgb);
//

Now here's what I find strange:
When testing this playing in _level0, I can get this correct trace:
trace(myTarget); // returns "_root.uniforms.u.a"

But if I test from another movie that loads this swf into another 
level, I get this trace:

trace(myTarget); // returns "_root.uniforms.u"

Notice it drops the last element of the target, so the parent gets 
colored by mistake.


I can't figure out why the target would parse differently inside 
different levels, but for the purposes of this application I do need 
to run the swf in a level other than _level0.

Marc

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3 and flash remoting

[Jonathan Xie]

Yeah, I have to agree with you there, Hank - it's possible to hack the
netConnetion class given the fact of flash player 8.5 does support
remoteObject but just not be made into the Framework so far (hope it will)
 let's see what happen in the beta version!

Re: [Flashcoders] FileReference.upload -> "Filedata"

[M Daggett]

Do you know if you can append extra parameters into the FileData?

For example, I would like to allow users to describe their picture (name,
title) but I don't have anyway to put that into the upload. I guess if worse
came to worse I could add it to the URL but that is far from elegant.

Additionally, it appears that you have to do the same thing with the session
id if you would like to maintain state with the appserver.

Thanks,
Mark

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3 and flash remoting

[hank williams]

There are no practices, best or otherwise. It is currently not supported.

It appears it may be possible to hack remoting support using a bare
metal approach based around the netConnection class, but this is non
trivial, and so far no one has demonstrated any working code.

It is unclear whether MM intends to support remoting without flex
enterprise services. Ultimately, the open source community will figure
it out, though that may be a ways off.

Hank

use Matt's xml rpc client.. I assume you talking about writing a

http://osflash.org/xmlrpcflash


To find out more about xml-rpc and how most popular blogs, including 
wordpress, movabletype and blogger support it search their site for 
either "blogger api" or "xml-rpc". One thing to note about the blogger 
api, it is definately capable of updateing your blog remotely, but I 
have not yet had the chance to look at how to integrate a flash app that 
allows users to read posts or add comments, so a little research is in 
order... If you do manage to find anything please share! I would be 
really keen to figure this out... Perhaps we could also use it to write 
an entire flash blog and still get to use the wordpress application on 
our server?

I can't really offer much more that this. The only time I had  
problems was the first time when I accidently compressed at 29.97.

Yes when I make the flv I am compressing it to flv as 30 fps (same  
as flash movie)


Possibly the issue is because they are compressed first before I  
am getting them? I am getting them as mpg at 29.97, then making  
them into flv with flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 FLV, audio sync?

[Mike West]

That's definitely a possibility—I've never had sync issues using  
external FLVs encoded from 30 fps Quicktime or AVIs

[Flashcoders] weird scaling issue in internet explorer and 1900 x 1200 resolution

[grant]

I'm getting to the end of a project and have been testing inside eclipse and in 
firefox, I come to test in internet exploder (windows) and its scaling my move 
no matter what I set it to in the object tag.

I've done a test swf that is 1000 x 600 px and if I view in in firefox it looks 
great if in explorer its not scaled but the stage is bigger than its supposed 
to be, I added a button to get the stage height and width and the scale mode 
and in firefox it displays:

width= 1000height 600 scale noScale

in IE it displays

width= 1250height 750 scale noScale


http://www.bluetube.com/temp/flash-embed-test/EMC.html

I've tried this on other machines and it appears to work how it should and the 
only thing I can put it down to is I run a dell 9300 with a 17" display that 
runs 1900 x 1200 pixels, could this be an issue the flash player in internet 
explorer is not addressing ?

You have to make a new "Row Renderer" to change the look of the indivdual
items inside the drop down in the combobox.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 FLV, audio sync?

Are these loaded from external FLVs or are you placing them on the  
timeline?
I've seen that issue with video on the timeline before, but not using  
external FLV files and AS

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 FLV, audio sync?

[Radley Marx]

I've done 60 min FLVs with no sync issues (using cleaner, squeeze).

Obvious question: are you compressing your audio & video to 30fps (or  
other integer-based rate) instead of 29.97? Is your compressed flv  
frame rate the same as your Flash movie's frame rate?


I can't really offer much more that this. The only time I had

[Flashcoders] LoadVars + sendAndLoad + PERL + FireFox = Problem

[Philip Isaacs]

I've seen this posted on a number of websites, but not many useful 
solutions.


I built this nifty application in Flash that reads data from an Oracle 
database via
a Perl cgi script and loads this info back into Flash. The only problem 
is that I use a Mac
and everything works fine, but I was ask to test it on Windows and it 
doesn't work

with FireFox.

Has anyone ever encountered a problem with LoadVars using FireFox or 
Mozilla?


If so what have you discovered.

Thanks is advance.

Re: [Flashcoders] External text from XML file including superscriptanditalic

[Jim Kremens]

This has worked for me in the past as well. Basically, the rule is that if
you can actually *see* the character in your xml file, and you've set things
up correctly, Flash will render the character.
 However, I have a project coming up where we'll need to render special
characters from the actual Unicode sequences. (So the files will not have
human-readable characters, just Unicode for special chars). Has anyone had
any luck making that work?

Hi Matt,

We had the same problem on our project, and the problem was fixed by using a
third party plugin (SWISHvideo2). This was with Flash 7 - I don't know if it
was fixed in 8, I certainly hope so.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows or can point to me to information on
how to fix the issue of audio in flash flv falling out of sync on
longer videos (more than a few minutes).
I work on cd-roms that ar a mixture of flash and video and would love
to be able to do these in all Flash.

Because of longer videos falling out of sync with the audio
with .flvs, I have had to use director to build these and jump
between .swf modules in director and video (and due to clients
machines have to use mpeg1 for the video)

Does anyone know if this issue has been fixed in Flash 8? In flash 7
I have tried just about every way of creating the flv possible,
importing into flash and exporting the flv, using squeeze, etc, and
the audio always seems to fall out of sync on the longer videos. Any
help or info is greatly appreciated!

Cheers- Matt

Re: [Flashcoders] remoting and record-sets and paging

[David Knape]

> > (natively) pageable recordsets. I could be wrong though.

In fact, a major upgrade has been done. :)

I've successfully used the latest amfphp with ADODB for PHP, and it
works very well.  In your gateway.php, you need to add the adapter
mapping for adodb resultsets. Use whatever classname is associated
with the adodb connection type you are using.

$gateway->addAdapterMapping('adorecordset_mysql', 'adodb');

Then, make sure you have a DB connection open in your service
somewhere via and include or in the constructor or something...

Here, I use global $DB.

// include adodb...
require_once '/path/to/adodb/adodb.inc.php';
// INIT ADODB CONNECTION
global $DB;
$DB = &ADONewConnection( 'mysql' );
if( !is_object($DB) || !$DB->Connect( 'localhost', 'root', '',
'northwind') ) {
NetDebug::trace("Unable to connect to database.  ".$DB->ErrorMsg());
}

Then, along with your service method, you need to have a _count method
that can return the total number of records.  ADODB is nice as it has
paging functionality built in, but you need to convert from the offset
argument used with amfphp to the page number used by adodb's
PageExecute.  ($pageNum = ($limit+$offset)/$limit;)  Here is a sample
service...

/*
Pageable Recordset Demo with ADODB and MySQL
Database is MySQL port of Northwind DB.
*/

class Northwind {
function Northwind() {
$this->methodTable = array(
"getProducts" => array("access"=>"remote", "pagesize"=>5)
);
}

function getProducts($offset=0, $limit=5) {
global $DB;
$DB->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);
$this->getProducts_countQuery = 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM products';
$sql = 'SELECT ProductID, ProductName, UnitPrice FROM products';
$pageNum = ($limit+$offset)/$limit; // 1=first page, 2=second page
if($rs = $DB->PageExecute($sql, $limit, $pageNum) {
return $rs;
} else {
NetDebug::trace( $DB->ErrorMsg() );
return false;
}
}

function getProducts_count() {
global $DB;
return $DB->GetOne( $this->getProducts_countQuery );
}
}

[Flashcoders] Re: Flash 8 FLV, audio sync?

[John Olson]

Matt --

I don't have an answer for you, but what length of videos are you having
issues with? I was under the impression that FLV video was much much better
with syncing.

[Flashcoders] return and play to cue point on a flv

[William J. Miller]

I have a movie that i need to play through but at the end go back to  
a section in the flv and start playing again...like a loop but not  
from the beginning.  I have a cuepoint on the area of the flv i want  
to return and pay from and I have a cuepoint  at the end of the flv.


This is the code I have but it does not seem to work:


var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.end = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
hss.seekToNavCuePoint("repeat");
hss.play();
}
hss.addEventListener("end", listenerObject);
hss.contentPath = "http://www.broadbahn.net/flash/hss.flv";;



thanks for the help and advice

comboBox.rowCount = x; that should make the list always show x visible rows,

SV: [Flashcoders] get, setTextFormat(), shared fonts and dynamic text fields

[Martin Baltzer]

Hi All,
 
I tried to get trough the translated version of www.zarate.tv and I didn't 
understand that much :)
 
But as far as I understood the following issues where unsolved - correct?
 
- "It cannot have in the film created text fields from the IDE (not even 
static) with the same source that the one that is going away to load..."
 
- It is not possible to use Bold or Italic styles
 
I just wonder since I have just found the solution for those issues...so I 
guess the question is if this is common knowledge or do people still think its 
unsolveable?
 
If anyone is interested in the solution just say so and I'll explain:)
 
Cheers
Martin Baltzer

Hi!

Thanks Cedric! I've to say that Martin Klasson has found some problems
with the hack of one single file per font[1], and i haven't had time
enough to check it. Hope i will soon.

Anyway, i think it still can be usefull.

Re: [Flashcoders] Eclipse/FDT/Subclipse weirdness

[Jim Kremens]

Thanks all for the advice.
 Of course I tried launching with -clean and team --> cleanup, to no avail.
 But I think I figured out the problem. The project points to several linked
libraries which are each their own proejct under version control. To
optimize performance, I occasionally close these projects while working on
the main (also huge) project.
 I think the refresh problem is simply caused by the fact that one of the
linked libraries is in a 'closed' project.
 Of course, this prompts a gigantic DOH! and slap of the forehead.
 At an rate, I'm back up and running. Wish I'd tried the obvious thing
first! (It would have been nice to have some information in the error
message...)

[Flashcoders] External text from XML file including superscript and italic

[Paul Steven]

I have a flash page that includes several sections of text that are read in
from an XML file.

I have worked out how to do this assuming all the text formatting is one
style. However I would like some of the text to be in italic and it to
include the "TM" as superscript.

Ideally I could just write the text in the xml file as I want it to appear
on screen in the flash movie. Can anyone advise me if this is possible and
how. Or if it isnt possible then what is my best option.

Basically the client will be updating the content of the site by replacing
the xml files and the text needs to have italics and superscript. I do hope
this is possible:)

Many thanks

Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] TextArea - Impossible requests?

[Miles Thompson]

Muzak,

Is that the TextInput component, or something else? I didn't see that it 
had an .html property.


Did I neglect to include something when I installed Flash? Or is TextArea 
an MX control?

[Flashcoders] Flash 8 FLV, audio sync?

[Matthew Gaiser]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows or can point to me to information on  
how to fix the issue of audio in flash flv falling out of sync on  
longer videos (more than a few minutes).
I work on cd-roms that ar a mixture of flash and video and would love  
to be able to do these in all Flash.


Because of longer videos falling out of sync with the audio  
with .flvs, I have had to use director to build these and jump  
between .swf modules in director and video (and due to clients  
machines have to use mpeg1 for the video)


Does anyone know if this issue has been fixed in Flash 8?  In flash 7  
I have tried just about every way of creating the flv possible,  
importing into flash and exporting the flv, using squeeze, etc, and  
the audio always seems to fall out of sync on the longer videos.  Any  
help or info is greatly appreciated!


Cheers- Matt

RE: [Flashcoders] Pointers

[Nick Weekes]

Jorrit,

I don't think actionscript has that sort of access to the underlying OS to
enable direct access to memory.  It is a scripting language after all, with
very proprietary access to the host file system, let alone accessing memory
registers.

But that's an educated guess, not fact.

Why do you need to use pointers, maybe there is a standard actionscript
method of sharing variable references that you could use? 

Cheers,

Nick

RE: [Flashcoders] TextArea - Impossible requests?

[Miles Thompson]

Yes Chris, that would work, but I'm hoping there could be a more elegant 
solution.
A slight difficulty is that customers have the option to print the issue - 
guess I'd have to remove a lot of trailing  tags in the printing script.

Dear All,

I'm working on a "daily news" site - headlines display on left, and when
one clicks on a given headline the story loads on the right. I'm using the
UI TextArea component to display the story.

All is well, but as usual, customer has tossed a couple of curves.

1. When there is only a fragment of the story left to display, say 15
additional lines for example, and the reader scrolls down, the TextArea
scrolls only 15 lines. What the customer wants is a full scroll so that the
next line appears at the top of the story, with white space below.

2. At customer's request NextPage and PrevPage buttons were added to the
movie to scroll the TextArea; they've been programmed to turn on and off,
etc. in response to .scroll, .maxscroll and .vPosition information provided
by the TextArea. Now the customer does not want the ScrollBar to show at
all, but to use these buttons only.

Relating to 1. - Can one force a full scroll, say 28 lines, when there are
only 15 lines remaining? I've tried resetting .maxscool, forcing .vPosition
to an unrealistic values, incrementing .scroll in a loop. Nope, Have not
been able to do it. Has anyone, or do I revert to the MX control?

Relating to 2. Is there a property to set somewhere which will permanently
hide the scroll bar? I've not been able to find one, but possibly someone
knows a hidden or undocumented property. (Cripes, this is a ridiculous

[Flashcoders] WebService Class Help

[Doug Coning]

Greetings!

I'm trying to setup a WebService class to handle multiple operations.
Some operations will have many parameters, while others may have none.
However, I'm having problems figuring out how to pass either an array or
an object to the WebService class.  Below is an example that sends 2
strings.  How could I change the code below to pass an array containing
the two country strings and then pass that into the callback object?

import mx.services.WebService;
//  VARIABLES
var country1:String = "USA";
var country2:String = "Canada";

// WEB SERVICE
function WebCall(str1:String, str2:String){
var WSDL_URL:String =
"http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl";;
var wsExRate:WebService = new WebService(WSDL_URL);
var oCallback:Object = wsExRate.getRate(country1, country2);
oCallback.onResult = function(nRate):Void {
trace("Rate for " + country1 + " to " + country2 + " = "
+ nRate);
};
}
WebCall(country1, country2);

Re: [Flashcoders] Eclipse/FDT/Subclipse weirdness

[Martin Wood]

for more information you might want to check the eclipse log file, its 
found at workspace/.metadata/.log


that might give you more information about what is causing the problem.

as has been said, theres some cleaning you can do thats a lot less 
drastic, first is doing an SVN clean, right click project -> team -> cleanup


also you can start eclipse with -clean from the command line which may 
clear out some bad state that has occurred.


hope that helps,

martin



I have all the latest versions...
Here's a question - are there files that I should not put in version
control? Like Eclipse's .project file and FDT's .as2_classpath?
I've done it both ways and still had the same problems, so I don't think
that's the solution. Just curious...

Re: [Flashcoders] Eclipse/FDT/Subclipse weirdness

[Ron Wheeler]

I have never seen anything like this.
Why do you need the refresh - what is happening outside Eclipse?
You did not mention just exiting and restarting Eclipse. Does that do 
anything or show any errors?

Are other Eclipse projects affected?

That is a tremendous housecleaning - only thing you do not do is delete 
eclipse and reformat the hard drive :-)


Have you checked the Eclipse newsgroups and forums?

Good luck.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Eclipse/FDT/Subclipse weirdness

This might be slightly OT, as it doesn't directly deal with code. But it
does concern tools of the trade, so here goes...
I'm using Eclipse, FDT and Subclipse. Occasionally, a project just 'goes
bad.' It seems like something is getting corrupted, and I don't know what
it
is.
Here are the symptoms:
Use project for a while - all is fine.
Click refresh.
Get 'An error occurred during Refresh' message with *no additional
information*. (yay error handling!) From this point on, the project is
completely shot - you can't do much if you can't refresh... Checking it
out
again from the repository doesn't work.
The only way I can fix the project is to:
1. Detach it and all of its linked libraries from SVN control (and delete
SVN information from the system).
2. Delete the project and the libraries it links to from the Eclipse
workspace (without deleting all of the files from the system).
3. Re-import the project and various linked libraries, thereby rebuilding
the project.
Of course, I then lose all of my SVN history.
Needless to say, this is really a bummer
Anyone experienced anything like this? The key would be the meaningless
'An
error occurred during refresh' message.
Thanks,
Jim Kremens

Re: [Flashcoders] zeh/laco and MovieClip.as

[Zeh Fernando]

What do you think about this? About modifying the MovieClip.as -it cant
be of good practice?


It isn't. Usually you shouldn't even think about it.

However, I believe both of these tweens work without major problems or 
warnings under AS2. The only problem I know is mctween can't tween sound 
instances anymore (because sound isn't a dynamic object) but movieclip and 
textfield tweens work the same...




We would rather have the tween engine as a seperat class (static members
only) which we can import.
And still have all great functionalities that the two really great
tween-engines out there (zeh's and fernandos)


While I still think - from a practical point of view - that using 
whatever.tween() is much easier to work with (write and read), in AS2+, the 
best solution would be to have a static class that does the whole thing, 
like you suggested. My mctween and Laco's tween can compile and run fairly 
well in AS2 (specially because movieclip is a dynamic class), but they *do* 
exploit the compiler's ability to still use prototypes even though it 
shouldn't.


So again, if you're looking for 'the best' solution while still obeying the 
sacred rules of the OOP religion, the best bet is having a new static class 
(also because it could later be ported to AS3 without too much pain).


In that vein:

1. You could use MM's built in tweening classes. I know, there's a lot to be 
desired there, but with some wrapping with a new class, it could fit your 
needs and still be straightforward to use.


2. Moses Gunesch has been reworking Laco's tween prototypes into a new 
system that's exactly that: a new static class. It's still under 
development, but you can find more information and eearly versions here:


http://www.mosessupposes.com/Fuse/index.html


There's probably other options too, but I'm not aware of them.


Personally, I'm rewriting my own to use a static class, as in

ZTweener.addTween(mymovie, {_x: 100, time:1});

I'm not using MC Tween anymore. But it's still in a very early version so I 
can't distribute it - it's pretty rough. And coincidentally, this syntax I'm 
using is VERY similar to the one Moses has come up with on Fuse Kit, so I'd 
say trying Fuse Kit is your best choice right now.

onClipEvent (load) {

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
X = this._x;
Y = this._y;

this.startDrag("");
}

this.stopDrag();
Xm = _parent._xmouse;
Ym = _parent._ymouse;
Xdiff = Xm-X;
Ydiff = Ym-Y;
radAngle = Math.atan2(Ydiff, Xdiff);
this._rotation = radAngle*360/(2*Math.PI);
}
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {

Re: [Flashcoders] get, setTextFormat(), shared fonts and dynamic text fields

[Zárate]

Hi!

Thanks Cedric! I've to say that Martin Klasson has found some problems
with the hack of one single file per font[1], and i haven't had time
enough to check it. Hope i will soon.

Anyway, i think it still can be usefull.

Bye!

[Flashcoders] Flash Detection Kit

[lieven.cardoen]

I've been playing a little bit with the flash detection kit and I'm
frustrated about something. I'm using the express install. When user has
flash 6 or 7, then the flash player is upgraded from within an flash6
swf (locally). This swf loads a autoUpdater.swf from macromedia site
which does the upgrade (see below).

 

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/swf/auto
Updater.swf?"+cacheBuster
 --> apparently this is the swf that is
loaded and which does the update. But the graphics of this
autoUpdater.swf are terrible. Can this be altered?

 

The graphics are a big blue square. Very nice.

Re: [Flashcoders] Ho to hide flash layer in Mozilla?

Sorry for posting this question...

I've found the solution myself:
it's better use document.getElementById in Mozilla and a number of
tricks for old browsers etc.
As we all know, "All javascript consists of tricks and hacks only" ;-).

document.all doesnt exist in w3c specifications there for FF doesnt

use document.getElementById instead, and it will work in both browsers

Hi guys,

I'm trying to solve the shared library, dynamic fonts thing.

I have a shared library with some fonts contained in MovieClips.
Everything has instance names. Everything is set with linkage  
identifiers and set to export.


In my other FLA I bring the shared library in and access the text  
format of the text brought in.
I then create a text field dynamically and try to set the format  
gained earlier onto the new field.


But guess what - it does not work.

Any ideas?

(It works if you use the shared library 'properly' eg using File>>  
Import >> Open External Library,
but I do not want to do that - I only want to bring in the fonts as  
and when required.)


The text has the rough format apart from the font is incorrect. =(

Here's my code. (I've left in all my other attempts)

I've tried to embed and not to embed

Regards

Steve

[Flashcoders] zeh/laco and MovieClip.as

[Martin Klasson]

 

Hi Coders.

 

An issue that I have dealt with before is now again coming back as an
issue.

 

We would like to use a tween-engine as the one of Laco or the one of Zeh
Fernando.

The problem as I see it is that in either one of the tween-engines above
you MUST make changes in the MovieClip.as file.

 

And I am not alone about NOT LIKING to do modifications in such a file.

But it is needed to prevent compile-errors in as2-classes, or is there
another solution yo want to share?

 

An ALL-static tween-engine would be nice. So that it wouldn't run as
methods on the movieclip-instance.. I guess.

But we don't want to develop a new tween-engine, we don't have time to
do it, or nor is it easy either to make a great one ;)

 

What do you think about this? About modifying the MovieClip.as -it cant
be of good practice?

 

We would rather have the tween engine as a seperat class (static members
only) which we can import.

And still have all great functionalities that the two really great
tween-engines out there (zeh's and fernandos)

RE: [Flashcoders] Flex Style Flash MX2004 Components

"there is still a lot of room for style with UI design ..."

Definitely agree...this is the main reason people like me (with a C or Java
designing background) turn to flash and flex, to offer real ria experiences,
that have 'style'.  

But im glad I did the 'windows app consulting' route, as it sure teaches you
a lot about what people think they want, and what they actually want.

I think this is just about 'state' :

there is still a lot of room for style with UI design ...

but you are right ... you're so right ;)

on the other side we can see that Flash picture viewers are better than any
other gallery system ... and will even replace desktop picture viewers in
the forthcoming future ...
so Picture Viewers are no applications ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Eclipse/FDT/Subclipse weirdness

[Julien Vignali]

Jim,
The only files that you don't need to put in version controls are 
binaries that you can regenerate. You can safely put any other files 
including .project, .as2_classpath files. I've been doing this since 
last summer without any problems with SVN & subclipse.


Have you tried to clean the project with the Project -> Clean menu 
option and/or closing/reopening the project and eclipse?
I've had some weird compilation problems once in a while, but I could 
always recover by cleaning my projects or restarting eclipse (maybe a 
cache needs to be cleaned).


Hope it helps.
Julien

Jim Kremens a écrit :

I have all the latest versions...
 Here's a question - are there files that I should not put in version
control? Like Eclipse's .project file and FDT's .as2_classpath?
 I've done it both ways and still had the same problems, so I don't think
that's the solution. Just curious...

This might be slightly OT, as it doesn't directly deal with code. But it
does concern tools of the trade, so here goes...
I'm using Eclipse, FDT and Subclipse. Occasionally, a project just 'goes
bad.' It seems like something is getting corrupted, and I don't know what
it
is.
Here are the symptoms:
Use project for a while - all is fine.
Click refresh.
Get 'An error occurred during Refresh' message with *no additional
information*. (yay error handling!) From this point on, the project is
completely shot - you can't do much if you can't refresh... Checking it
out
again from the repository doesn't work.
The only way I can fix the project is to:
1. Detach it and all of its linked libraries from SVN control (and delete
SVN information from the system).
2. Delete the project and the libraries it links to from the Eclipse
workspace (without deleting all of the files from the system).
3. Re-import the project and various linked libraries, thereby rebuilding
the project.
Of course, I then lose all of my SVN history.
Needless to say, this is really a bummer
Anyone experienced anything like this? The key would be the meaningless
'An
error occurred during refresh' message.
Thanks,
Jim Kremens

Re: [Flashcoders] Flex Style Flash MX2004 Components

[Cedric Muller]

I think this is just about 'state' :
car + shoe businesses are mature: from functionality we went to form
UI design is in very early stages of development ...we are still 
struggling with functionality


there is still a lot of room for style with UI design ...

but you are right ... you're so right ;)

on the other side we can see that Flash picture viewers are better than 
any other gallery system ... and will even replace desktop picture 
viewers in the forthcoming future ...

so Picture Viewers are no applications ?

Cedric



Consumers push the shoe car and computer market to offer diversity.   I
don't remember a software consumer complaining that their gui control 
was

too familiar or easy to use ;-)

As an aside, I love the book 'About Face:  Interaction Design' which 
has a

chapter on designing interactions, and the differences between a visual
artist (someone who wants to provoke a reaction to their piece of art) 
and a
visual designer (someone who has to represent software behaviour based 
on

the goals of other people).

I disagree...users don't give a damn whether a component is skinned or
not, but whether it works as a piece of UI.  How many different
comboboxes do we need in the world??

I find just the opposite; I think it's easier in Flex.

I'm with you, though.  The pendulum has swung too far to the other
side.
Pre-Flash MX, it was "no Flash UI assets look the same".  Now, post
Flex 1.5 it's "all Flex apps look the same".

Mars needs women.  Flex needs UI designers.

yeah, they do look better than the IDE ones, but its easier to skin
stuff in flash than flex from my experience thus far. due to this we
are seeing more and more apps looking very similiar, which as a
non-designer i think sucks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Component Name Problem

[Gregory_GOusable]

eric,

It's quite strange/funny/having_no_sense for me, but in fact
=
component's name of installed component is the name of (!) movie clip
symbol in the library BEFORE converting to a component.
=
I have experienced the same thing several times.

So, if you  "have been creating MXP files all morning", you've
probably use one fla as a base and just Save as..
The solution is to rename movie clip in the duplicated file (or
library) and only after this convert to component.

BTW, "name" from MXI appears (maybe, I've not checked it ;-) only in descr at 
MM Exchange.
Strange that MM haven't fixed it in Flash 8 (I'm still using MX 2004).
