[Flashcoders] emoticons in a chat component
Hi List, I have a working FlashComm chat programme, dedicated to online counselling. It's been up and running for over half a year now, but now the client wants me to add some new features, one of which is emoticons. I'm using the TextArea for the history component and formatting the text with html, so I thought adding the emoticons would be a simple matter of using the img tag in the TextArea. But it doesn't want to work that way - the emoticons are not displayed inline, but at the beginning of the next line, wrapping the following text around them. I need to find a way to to make them display in the same way as a user would expect from a chat application. I've done some research, but haven't found anything suitable yet. I also don't want to use an emoticon font, because the results are not what I'm looking for. Any ideas? Is it possible to use a style sheet to position them correctly? Or give all images ids to move them around? Would I need to overlay them on top of the text? Nothing too complicated I hope, I've only estimated a couple of days for the job...

Re: [Flashcoders] flex 2 for games?
I think the major advantage to as3 is the fact that the virtual machine running it is quite a bit faster. The other part is the fact that your code will be more robust, more oop, more clean in a way. The disadvantage is obviously the fact that the whole as3/player 8.5 is still in alpha. Plus as3 has a bit of a steep learning curve, and just fiddling about is a bit harder (this is a good thing in the long run actually). I think it's a good thing to try and port your games to as3, in a way that it will give you a good feeling of as3 and prepare you for things to come.

Re: [Flashcoders] emoticons in a chat component
Hi Katrina, Adding emoticons inline in text is very difficult. You cannot insert the image directly into the text field unless it is going to be left, center, or right justified. The approach is to search and replace the emoticon similies (like :-) ), with spaces and then overlay movie clip. This presents some problems too because Flash's text metrix aren't always trustworthy, so you can't consistently tell where to put the image. In addition, when you replace the :-) with spaces, your word wrapping might change. So instead of search-and-replace, maybe just recolor those characters to the color of the background. I think your best bet would be to use a fixed-width font, like courier. Then you can just use some basic math to determine where the icons should go. FYI: I got emoticons working in the chat on my site, and they work extremely well. The code is not pretty and uses some really silly techniques to get around the Flash Player bugs. As a result, if you compile it to a later version of Flash it stops working...because the bugs are either fixed or just different.

Re: [Flashcoders] emoticons in a chat component
Can you use a javascript callback and the innerHTML tag of a DIV to combine the flash swf with a HTML page? Then you would just send the raw HTML to the DIV. You could also be a bit smarter and do the replacing of emoticons in the javascript. AFAIK this shouldn't require a page refresh for flash to communicate with the DIV. http://www.webwasp.co.uk/tutorials/b18-fscommand/index.php Neil Highley On 11/20/05, Simon Lord [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh BTW, this font smilie solution is immune to Flash versioning (5,6,7,8,8.5), it should work in any other app that can display fonts.

Heres my code on the client (flash side):
--
class mainEntryPoint {
static function main() {
XML.prototype.ignoreWhite = true;
setInterval(tryConnect, 1000);
//tryConnect();
}
static function tryConnect() {
trace(Try to Connect);
var socket = new XMLSocket();
socket.onConnect = function(success:Boolean) {
trace(connected! + success);
}
socket.onData = function() {
trace(got data);
}
socket.onClose = function() {
trace(closing);
}
socket.onXML = function(src:XML) {
trace(Got XML!+src);
}
trace(Inital Connect: + socket.connect(192.168.0.4, 2500));
}
}
---
HEre the output i get from the flash SWF:
Inital Connect: true
connected! false
Nomatter what i do i cant get it to actually connect to the server. Any
ideas?

It's been up and running for over half a year now, but now the client wants me to add some new features, one of which is emoticons. I'm using the TextArea for the history component and formatting the text with html, so I thought adding the emoticons would be a simple matter of using the img tag in the TextArea. But it doesn't want to work that way - the emoticons are not displayed inline, but at the beginning of the next line, wrapping the following text around them. I need to find a way to to make them display in the same way as a user would expect from a chat application. I've done some research, but haven't found anything suitable yet. I also don't want to use an emoticon font, because the results are not what I'm looking for. Any ideas? Is it possible to use a style sheet to position them correctly? Or give all images ids to move them around? Would I need to overlay them on top of the text? Nothing too complicated I hope, I've only estimated a couple of days for the job...

Very nice. I think it would be cool if you could specify a particle decay if you want particles to die before they hit the screen edge.

[Flashcoders] Array Madness - test yourself
I just want to bring to your attention a rare array problem that eluded
me for years. I just realized what is going on.
Whenever I tried to clear an array I would use a for loop, iterate
through all the items and pop each one off. Every once in a while the
arrays would still contain values and not be completely erased. Can you
spot the error? Here is the code:
*
wrong way
*
// create an array
errors = new Array()
// add two items
errors.push(item 1)
errors.push(item 2)
// loop through each item
for (var i=0;i errors.length; i++) {
trace(removing item)
errors.pop()
}
// errors.length = 1
trace(errors.length=+errors.length)
*
right way
*
// create an array
errors = new Array()
// add two items
errors.push(item 1)
errors.push(item 2)
var len = errors.length;
// loop through each item
for (var i=0;i len; i++) {
trace(removing item)
errors.pop()
}
// errors.length = 0
trace(errors.length=+errors.length)
Look at the condition (i errors.length).
If we pop an item off the end of the array then the length of the array
is decreased and we do not iterate through all items in the array. Hope
this helps someone.

RE: [Flashcoders] Array Madness - test yourself
The problem with this code is that the thing you are checking (array.length)
is also what your are decrementing (by poping) and when combined with an
incremental counter it wont work.
ie.
Loop0 i=0 length=2
Loop1 i=1 length=1(cos weve pop'd one of the array)
Loop2 nevers happens as ilength is not true
In this particular situation actually the easiest solution is to use
Array.splice(0) which will clear the array in one command.
But if you need to do processing on each loop then use a while loop
var i=errors.length
while(-1--i){
errors.pop()
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] Array Madness - test yourself
I just want to bring to your attention a rare array problem that eluded
me for years. I just realized what is going on.
Whenever I tried to clear an array I would use a for loop, iterate
through all the items and pop each one off. Every once in a while the
arrays would still contain values and not be completely erased. Can you
spot the error? Here is the code:
*
wrong way
*
// create an array
errors = new Array()
// add two items
errors.push(item 1)
errors.push(item 2)
// loop through each item
for (var i=0;i errors.length; i++) {
trace(removing item)
errors.pop()
}
// errors.length = 1
trace(errors.length=+errors.length)
*
right way
*
// create an array
errors = new Array()
// add two items
errors.push(item 1)
errors.push(item 2)
var len = errors.length;
// loop through each item
for (var i=0;i len; i++) {
trace(removing item)
errors.pop()
}
// errors.length = 0
trace(errors.length=+errors.length)
Look at the condition (i errors.length).
If we pop an item off the end of the array then the length of the array
is decreased and we do not iterate through all items in the array. Hope
this helps someone.
Best Regards,
Judah

Re: [Flashcoders] leaf name conflict
I recently had this problem and I noticed that I was importing the class
I was creating.
In my main class:
import com.T8.forms.formatting.*;
In my NumberFormatter class:
import com.T8.forms.formatting.NumberFormatter;
class com.T8.forms.formatting.NumberFormatter {
}
It wasn't obvious in the main class that this was going on.
I also had empty MyClass.as files in the package directory. IE they were
blank. not sure if that had anything to with it or not.
HTH someone,
Best Regards,

Hi guys,
I just compiled one of my major projects with Flash 8 for the first time.
Wouldn't you know it: I now get a brand new error I've never seen before:
The class package1.classname cannot be imported because its leaf name is
already being resolved to imported class package2.classname
Oddly, I can't find this exact error in the help docs. However, it seems to
correspond roughly to Error 1190:
The class A.B cannot be imported because its leaf name is already
resolved to a previously imported class C.B
For example, compiling import jv.util generates Error 1190 if the statement
import mx.util also appears in the AS file.
So, my question: what's wrong with importing package1.classname in the same
frame as package2.classname? Why is this now taboo?
Thanks,
-tom
