RE: [Flashcoders] Problem with delay tween on some instance...
The current version mentioned at mosesSupposes site is 1.0. But there is in fact a 1.1 version which deals with the removeTween-bug. The bug I am talking about is when setting a delay on a tween wont be removed when calling removeTween. As of that bug being fixed in 1.1, there were also features that stopped working in 1.1. So I can not recommend this engine as the 1.1 version has some problems, which DID work in the 1.0 release. To mention one thing is that doShortcut doesn't work. As well as a few minor things, I have emailed Moses about this, but he might not be up yet. But when he is, I hope he will take a look at the problems that 1.1 has brought. 1.0 is not MTASC compatible, so it might be the 'conversion' from non-mtasc version, 1.0, to the mtasch-friendly version 1.1, that has caused problems. As for now 1.0 is the most stable release, but then you will have to live with the removeTween-delay bug ;( Jim, it might be you who brought the errors to the 1.1 ?! I hope you and Moses can do some serious testing and can fix the problems. I would like to help, but I am not in position to write and start learning every thought and every line of code at this time.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash player troubles
This is Flash player 8 problems for me, possibly v7 for others in my company, since v7 is part of THE COMPANY STANDARD COMPUTER IMAGE. There are various install scenarios on the different problem computers. My v8 was downloaded from macromedia.com around when it first came out a few months ago. Others get v7 from the company image or install. I have admin rights, others do not. This compounded identifying the problem at first. I had made an HTML page containing Flash where the player version was not detected, so problem users would stare at a blank box and nothing would error. BUT users with admin rights would get the macromedia...swflash.cab file from the plugins= statement, and the player would eventually work for them after a few seconds. Users with non-admin rights would get nothing and continue to stare. I think this is the result of some company policy we have set up. At least that's the excuse I'm giving myself, and I'm dropping the problem until I get more complaints.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: 3D in Flash
This IKEA thingy is just brilliant! But I think it is a bit out of our reach time-wise and buclient budget wise. Techniology wise I wanted to get an idea from you guys as to whcih solution you would gravitate towards to. My gut feeling would be to use Shockwave because of its 3D features, but install wise flash is more wide spread and would cause less hassle for our clients. I guess it depends on how easy and painless we make the process for the site visitors, and how good lokonig / easy to use we make it Thanks!!!

RE: [Flashcoders] Firefox bug?
The FireFox browser does not default see the body of an html page at 100% height of the browser window in later html standards. Getting rid of the doctype helps, because you force the browser into quirks mode where the body IS 100% height. Another solution is also to set the height of the body to 100% in css. Body { height:100%; } In ie it will be higher then 100% though when this is turned on though :) Good luck.

[Flashcoders] Attaching components within components
Sigh! I don't even know where to begin. I'm creating a component called Stack through the createClassObject command. A while later I'm creating a component called Card inside the Stack using createClassObject. And it returns null. The exact same line of code placed on the stage or on the constructor of the Stack object creates the Card component. But if I put this is a function in Stack called CreateCardObjects(sCardsList) then it doesn't work. Why? I have no clue. Can someone shed some light on this?

So far I have been doing this the old fashioned way but I am wondering if there is a much faster/better way to achieve the same result. This is my present solution, would love to hear how clever people out there handle this: // param filterObj determines the props and values that must match e.g. {prop1:a, prop2:b} function compareItems (filterObj:Object) : Array { var resultArr = new Array(); var itemArr = RS.items; for (var i = 0; i itemArr.length; i++) { var propMatch = true; var tmpItem = itemArr[i]; for (var j in filterObj) { if (tmpItem[j] != filterObj[j]) { propMatch = false; break; } } if (propMatch) { resultArr.push (tmpItem); } } Thanks, Clark ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

I'll give a hint :) - Don't include default General Midi Bank (that'd be at least 1-2 MB to sound reasonable, so it's out of question, that's like bundling fonts in the player, pointless), just provide the engine and some sort of instrument/patch format we can load - This is similar to the MOD/XM mod players from the old days, they are basically light music synths that you load with patches and they have some realtime processing of the patch, like layering multiple samples, LFO (low frequency oscilation), ADSR envelope (attack, decay, sustain, release), vibrato/tremolo, velocity, panning. - A simple MOD/XM engine (or subset) can fit in something like 20kb or less (honestly, I'm talking real implementations here), and with lots of the audio stuff abstracted in these modern OS days you can squeeze even more from it maybe.

I'd like to know, what are advantages (if any) of using TextFormat instead of CSS ? HTML textfields with embedded fonts using formatting-specific tags cannot use setTextFormat or setNewTextFormat.

Of course, you can use HTML text with setTextFormat or setNewTextFormat, but no formatting-specific HTML tags such as B or I or FONT are recognized. For non-HTML text, setTextFormat or setNewTextFormat will do just nicely, and does not involve as much overhead.

Re: [Flashcoders] Who wants MIDI in the Flash Player?
Hi John, I haven't checked various pocket devices on MIDI recently, but the problem on desktops has been when you get varying capabilities on various platforms, so that the same MIDI file can sound different on different machines. Yes, but that's probably because every platform and/or videocard has different standard soundback. Of course this can be a issue, but not when you use MIDI for controlling external devices ;-) Anyway it's a good idea have a look at this, I can't believe this is a big change within the Flash player.

Re: [Flashcoders] SVN TortoiseSVN
I believe the issue is that you don't need to stick your project into c:\svnrepos\project1.

After you import the c:\svnrpos\project1 folder into the repository, its not part of the repository. If that makes sense. You can safely delete that dir, unless you want it as a backup until you get more comfy with svn.

Magic, that's it. I am not using any prebuilt components, but I have made some components that extend UIObject, so I suspect that is why getNextHighestDepth returns 1048576, which I guess is outside the valid range. The documentation tells me to use the version 2 DepthManager class, but I am not sure how I would use that in place of attachMovie and getNextHighestDepth. Any suggestions? If I can't do it simply with the DepthManager classs, then I guess I could pick a number and check against getInstanceAtDepth until I find an available depth. Seems dumb. Eff.

Re: [Flashcoders] Who wants MIDI in the Flash Player?
I haven't checked various pocket devices on MIDI recently, but the problem on desktops has been when you get varying capabilities on various platforms, so that the same MIDI file can sound different on different machines. jd I understand that there are various complications, especially when building a cross platform browser plugin like Flash. What else do you need from us to decide if this is a worthy investment? Some of the developers on this list could perhaps build a viable solution for you but in the end it has to be the Flash Player team that makes any sort of commitment. Maybe in a seperate forum some of the more experienced developers (I'm not one of them) could help advise/consult on more in-depth technicalities.
