[Flashcoders] [FLASH 8] XML Loading in .exe file
Hi, I'm loading xml data from a local file to use the tree component. It's working well while playing the swf file through flashPlayer 8, but if I publish it as an .exe projector, the xml file seems to be ignored and not loaded. I cant reach http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/ anymore to search the archives. Any idea ?

[Flashcoders] removemovieclip failure
Ok this is the first time i've had this issue with removemovieclip so
bear with my amazement.
I have an application with popup windows created with attachMovie. These
windows have the following script on frame 1 of their movieclip:
closer.onPress = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
};
closer.onReleaseOutside = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
};
closer.onDragOut = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
};
closer.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
this._parent.closeMe();
};
function closeMe() {
removeMovieClip(this);
}
closer being the close button instance name.
The closeMe function is called, but removeMovieClip does nothing. I did
a trace(this); removeMovieClip(this); trace(this); and both traces show
up, showing the correct path, but nothing is removed.
Is there a good reason for this? What am i missing.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to update components on stage?
Use a 'Compiled Clip' instead of a regular movieclip symbol. Each time you change the associated class, recompile the Library symbol overwriting the existing 'Compiled Clip'.

if (i == 0.7) trace(here);
}
as you might expect, after running for 7 frames, it traces here.
However if you change 0.7 to 0.8, it stops working.
I assume this is to floating point math and rounding errors and stuff?
In what way can i check for equality to 0.7 then? With a bigger than,
smaller than construction?
This seems so weird to me...
This will check to make sure the numbers are equal to within 2 decimal
places. change both 100's to set how many decimal places you want to check.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to make a class instance self-destructible?
mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(hit);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
Try this one on for size. You'll only get one (1) hit trace out to the
output window. If you have actions following the delete they'll still get
called before the method is deleted.
mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
trace(hit);
}
you still get hit traced out once in the output window.
Cicak you're right: if they have reference counting in place, they can
delete object the moment its ref count is zero
This is the Flash Player garbage collection right now. Gary Grossman gave a
great talk at the MAX conference explaining the difference between the
reference counting GC in the current player and the new GC coming in FP 8.5.
Because it's the reference counting system I'm afraid you can't delete an
object this way if there's other references to it. The reason onEnterFrame
can delete itself is because it's deleting the single reference the system
has to it.
Solution:
since Flash takes care of garbage collection, you don't need special
clean-up procedures (this is why other languages have something like
destroy) Forget about OOP usuals and garner the strength provided by a
dynamic language (ie just say delete myObj; instead of the OOP required
myObj.destroy();).
The more I develop the more I find that OOD (object oriented design,
designing your system well) is much more important than OOP (following all
the rules, applicable or not, for the sake of being as much like Java as
possible)

Steven Sacks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here is something more for you
to chew on:
If you assign say an onLoad method to an object, and don't delete the
onLoad
before you delete the object, the onLoad method is orphaned and since the
reference to the object is gone, it does not get cleaned up by the
garbage
collector, and remains in memory with no way to get to it.
For example (AS1 code used here):
foo = new XML();
foo.onLoad = function(valid) {
if (valid) {
// xml loaded successfully
} else {
// xml load error
}
}
If you:
delete foo;
the foo.onLoad method stays in memory.
You have to
delete foo.onLoad;
delete foo;
to really get rid of foo.
Objects cannot delete themselves, nor can they call another object to
delete
them because technically you're still in the same operation thread. It
has
to be done independantly outside the object you're trying to delete.
The way I get around this is:
xmlHolder = {};
var id = new Date.getTime();
xmlHolder[id] = new XML();
xmlHoLDer[id].onLoad = function(valid) {
if (valid) {
// xml loaded successfully
} else {
// xml load error
}
this.complete = true;
}
I assign a complete = true property. Then, I have my own little clean up
tool running, checking for complete xml loads:
for (var o in xmlHolder) {
if(this.xmlHolder[o].complete) {
delete this.xmlHolder[o].onLoad;
delete this.xmlHolder[o];
}
}
The clean up tool is running in a separate thread therefore it can delete
other xmlHolder without issue.
HTH,

[Flashcoders] Who wants MIDI in the Flash Player?
The Flash Player has evolved through the ages to provide the most needed functionality. Through each version there have always remained a few common goals. What I have found is that: Flash is small -- from the player itself to the swf file format to the assets it is optimized to load, focus has been placed on small file sizes (this of course is not as apparent in many websites that are heavy in multimedia) Flash supports standards -- the player supports many web and multimedia formats standard in the industry, such as jpg, mp3 and xml Flash is interactive -- the players greatest strength is the dynamic behavoir through ActionScript to allow user interactivity MIDI, a music standard format that most computers support today, fits all of these categories (like a glove). In fact there's an opensource project being developed to allow MIDI through Flash, though it requires an additional download and install to the user apart from the Flash Player itself (seen at osflash.org) I'd like to take a poll. Do you think MIDI should be included in the Flash Player? Why or why not? I want both votes and opinions as I'll organize the results and send them off to Adobe, formerly known as Macromediahttp://www.macromedia.com. Please respond with some sort of opinion whether it's pro or con. I'll list the pros/cons I can think of below (you don't have to read the rest of this email if you already have your opinion). A little more on MIDI: MIDI is a standard music format (some will argue that it's the onlystandard) that represents pitches and instruments to be played as a song. It's extremely small, being the vector of music, and has to be interpreted by a users soundcard. Almost all computers these days support standard MIDI, though it sounds synthesized (especially on the voice and string instruments). Some soundcards or additional software transform the common MIDI into amazing orchestrations, but most users don't have this advanced playback. MIDI pros: can be generated dynamically and played through a sequencer to allow complete on-the-fly customization of sound. very small in filesize supported by almost all soundcards numerous applications for the creation of MIDI songs (many are free) it's a standard that has been around for a long time (so there is a lot of support for it) a small implementation (wouldn't increase the Flash Player size by more than 50K) MIDI cons: most people will have a more synthesized sound user experience isn't guarenteed to be consistant (for those with higher quality soundcards) as with all advancements, could make it really easy for developers to have annoying sounds playing on their sites ;) In short, if the Flash Player had a midi sequencer built in it would allow developers to create lightweight interactive music applications, such as this sheet music rendering application http://mediarain.com/musicrain or music creation applications. It could also allow users to experience a website that contained sound effects or decent background music at very little bandwidth cost. Formerly know as Macromedia has always been good about listening to the developer community and will surely make efforts to build the features we need, if we tell them. This is your forum.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash is a single-threaded app? Maybe it's just theAVM? or...
Windows 3.1 was single threaded. As I understand it, programs would hook into the event loop and be given a handle. While they held the handle, they could run their own code, but they were supposed to release it when they were finished to allow other running programs to use it. I guess what I'm trying to say is quite a bit you can do without multiple threads. And just as a side note, I came up with an interesting idea today on how to emulate multiple threads in Flash. Just use more than one movie! Talk between the UI movie and the background worker movie with a LocalConnection object, and you're in business. No more UI lock.

Hi coderz, I've just read this post and it push me to expose my problem. I've got a strange behaviour with the ouput window since FMX2004... Sometimes (near always) my output window doesn't scroll to the very bottom of the traced data. i.e. when I put a trace into an enterframe for example, the tracing start, show the value and after 2-3s (sometimes more, sometimes less) the output text disapear since the output window doesn't scroll anymore... I've checked/unchecked every options, without success. Not a very coding problem but very annoying for debugging. Any ideas ?

Anyone familiar with a bug where flash 8 no longer shows visible output in the output pannel? The output pannel still comes to the front though, but nothing is visible. Am on osx 10.4 None of my files give visible output, not using trace, not when having an error, and they all work fine when saved for mx2004. It just suddenly stopped. Tried uninstalling, removing a bunch of folders in /home/ library and / library and re-installing, nothing worked. Could not find anything in the archives, either.

[Flashcoders] double click event
hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows of a double click event. I want to be able to double click on a movie clip to perform an action rather than a single click. any help would be great, thanks. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Applying tween class to textfields
What are you trying to tween? I know I was trying to tween the alpha with the Zigo engin but couldn't get it to work until I embeded the fonts. Have you tried that? Have you tried MC tween2? http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/index.html Or fuse kit: http://www.mosessupposes.com/Fuse/ They are related to Zigo but later versions. 2005/12/3, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry its still early ;) This is the movieclip tweening prototype I am using. It says it works with textfields as well but no luck so far. http://laco.wz.cz/tween/ Thanks ___ 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] Re: targeting classes in a loaded swf
Cole, Ha ha, thank you for the compliments. The good news is you shouldn't have to use the same agreed upon name. Thats the great thing about singleton! for example main.swf loads in ui.swf when ui.swf is loaded it has on it's timeline something like: obj:UI = UI.getInstance(); right? So now the 'obj' object in ui.swf is the one instance of UI that can exist (singleton). so later, when main.swf asks for the same thing: // calling it 'myUIObj' cause I can var myUIObj = _global.UI.getInstance();// instance is defined, so we get the same object that was defined on ui.swf's timeline it returns the single instance of UI, or ui.swf's 'obj' object. So test it by inserting this code trace(myUIObj == ui_mc.obj); // returns true -- they are the same instance of the UI class This works because your agreed upon point of reference is the class UI. As long as you've implemented singleton correctly you can from get that same object from anywhere. Note: This works because AS 2.0 classes are defined on the _global object. If your class is in a package you'll need to reference it through the package objects like this: myUIObj = _global.package.subpackage.UI.getInstance(); also, the reason you use _global.packagename.classname instead of simple importing the class and referencing it directly is so that Flash doesn't compile the UI class (and every other class it references) in both swfs. It should only be compiled in ui.swf and simple be referenced in main.swf. I really hope this all makes sense. If not I know there's some great articles out there. Watch the Singleton tutorial by Rob Taylor ( http://www.flashextensions.com) in the Design Patterns section. It's really helpful. Play around with it a bit and see what you get. Good luck! Tyler On 12/4/05, Cole Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks a lot for your time Tyler Wright. That helped a lot! I have implemented your suggestion. singleton. everything is great. My controller loads in the swfs that make up the diff parts of the app. The only disconnect is that all swfs have to agree to implement their ui using ... for example the name 'obj'. var obj:Someclass obj = Someclass.getInstance(); then my controller can target that class in any swf by using the mc that it loaded the swf into and calling mc.obj.getInstance().doSomething(); or just mc.obj.doSomething(); Does that make sense or am I missing something? If the above does make oop sense I now have a controller that loads in swfs and can then create pointers, if needed, to the main UI object in each swf. The only problem I see is forcing the use of an agreed upon name. Thanks again!

I have a movieclip with a lot of buttons that create different windows with different content. The swfs loaded into the windows have an onLoad method where more components are initialized. The problem is as follows: When loading the swf, the window component is shown as a small window until the swf loads inside (then the window gets resized), so I added a complete event listener so when the window reports finalized the loading process I can make the window visible. Nevertheless, I've found that in Internet Explorer, sometimes, the onLoad method occurs AFTER the complete event has been launched and not before as it should be (the event is generated before the swf has finished loading), the result is the window appearing before it is supposed to, showing uninitialized components in a very buggy way.. this problem occurs only in internet explorer on pc (not in firefox or safari or netscape on mac) has somebody encountered this too? or does someone has an bugfix / workaorund? i always thought that the flash player runs stable on all systems...sigh tia eugen ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders plugisto ... eugen pflüger alexanderstr. 109 70180 stuttgart fon +49.711.6739797 mobil +49.177.6428272 e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... http://www.plugisto.net http://www.lifeperformance.net ___ 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
