[Flashcoders] NetStream - bytesTotal on https outputs wrong value
Hi fellow flashcoders. I'm currently working on a project where our preview area is on an https address. For some reason when I try to access the netstream.bytesTotal property the returned value is the same as the netstream.bytesLoaded (e.g if the bytesLoaded returns 6000 the bytesTotal returns 6000) When I upload my testfile to an http-area I get the correct values from both bytesTotal and bytesLoaded. It's not really important for this project since It's just the preview area that's on a https but It sure would be interesting to find out why this problem appears. // Joakim .

Re: [Flashcoders] scribbling an oval
This is what I'm trying to accomplish: http://webkitchen.be/downloads/ scribble.jpg Thanks for your help, Serge Can you give us an example of the visual effect you're looking for? The simplest I can think of is a kind of 'ribbon' shape, like an oval but with two ends crossing over - this is a fairly classic way to show the kind of ring someone might draw around eg. a job ad.

Re: [Flashcoders] scribbling an oval
This is what I'm trying to accomplish: http://webkitchen.be/downloads/ scribble.jpg Thanks for your help, Serge Okay. In that case I think you're best off drawing an ordinary ellipse (or possibly a rounded rectangle) but adding some error factor. If you're starting from an ellipse, here's what I'd do: set a and b to the half-axes of the ellipse (I'm assuming the centre is (0,0)) set errorFactor to some small value set wobbliness to some very small value for q varying between 0 and some angle greater than 2*pi (yours seem to go round about three times, so q would go up to about 6*pi) set truePoint to (a*sin(q), b*cos(q)) set normal to (-a*cos(q), b*sin(q)) draw the point (truePoint + errorFactor * normal) set errorFactor to errorFactor + some number between -wobbliness and wobbliness I'll test it out, but that sounds like the right kind of idea to me.

Re: [Flashcoders] scribbling an oval
Right... That does make sense except for the draw the point... Shouldn't that have an X and Y coordinate? It does: it's the sum of two other points with an x and y coordinate. I'm mostly a Director person so these vector sums are done natively: Flash doesn't do anything so useful. But hopefully this should work. I've just tested it in Lingo, and it works pretty well. If it's any help, I've attached the code here. Translating to actionScript shouldn't be too hard. on drawWobble a, b, wobbliness if voidp(b) then b=random(100)+10 if voidP(a) then a=random(100)+10 if voidP(wobbliness) then wobbliness=(a*a+b*b)/1000.0 -- seems to give pretty good results pts=[] errorFactor=0 mx=random(100)+50 repeat with i=0 to mx q=i*8*pi/100 -- average of four loops p=point(a*sin(q), b*cos(q)) norm=point(b*sin(q) , a*cos(q)) norm=norm/sqrt(norm[1]*norm[1]+norm[2]*norm[2]) -- make it unit length pts.add(p+norm*errorFactor) errorFactor=errorFactor+random(100)*wobbliness*0.01-wobbliness/2 if abs(errorFactor)10 then errorFactor=errorFactor*0.95 -- hold it in if deviating too far end repeat -- add drawing code here end HTH Danny ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] scribbling an oval
One final thought and then I'll shut up. If you want to make your scribble smoother, you can make the randomness 'second-order'. That is, instead of randomising the change to the error factor, you could randomise the *rate* of change of the error factor. So you now keep track of two values, errorFactor and wobbliness. At each step, you add wobbliness to errorFactor, then change wobbliness by some random amount between -wobblewobbliness and wobblewobbliness :). Another advantage of this is that it gives you greater control of what happens at the extremes: if errorFactor gets greater than a certain amount you can clamp wobbliness in the right direction for a few steps until the factor gets within reasonable bounds again.

[Flashcoders] No Key.isDown() method in AS3?
I was going over the AS3 documentation and I've noticed that the isDown() property was removed for security reasons from the new Keyboard class. Is there another way of doing the same thing then? Are we now forced to use the event-driven onKeyDown()? Here's the page where I'm reading: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/langref/migration.html If this is correct then it sounds like a real pain and possible reason for not using Flash altogether. I'm currently using isDown() for all sorts of game like applications including some which rely on several keys being pressed at once. Does anyone know whether the new KeyboardEvent object will let you do this and if not how do we go about telling Adobe that there's going to be a problem.

This approach is more about 'scribbling' than Math -
First several ovals are manually drawn with this tool
http://www.motiondraw.com/md/as_samples/t/LineGeneralization/demo.html
Now each time the mouse is clicked one of the pre-recorded paths is
selected, some random is applied to its coordinates, it is smoothed again
and finally it is rendered as Catmull Rom spline:

[Flashcoders] Is this a bug?
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this before.
I am trying to pass an argument (String) to a function via an html link in a
text field that will execute specific code based on the value of the
argument, but the argument seems to get lost during the evaluation.
The html reads:
listText = pa href=\asfunction:showList, webcasts\View List/a/p;
The function reads:
function showList(medium:String) {
var media:String = medium;
trace(media); // returns: webcasts
trace(typeof(media)) // returns: string
//var media:String = webcasts;
if (media == webcasts) {
trace(ARGUMENT PASSED);
} else {
trace(media + ARGUMENT NOT PASSED); returns: webcasts ARGUMENT
NOT PASSED
}
}
The link triggers the function, and the webcasts argument get passed, but
gets lost or isn't recognized by the conditional (media == webcasts) and
fails to the ARGUMENT NOT PASSED trace.
When I comment out the 'var media:String = medium;' , and uncomment the
'var media:String = webcasts;', it results in 'true' and I get 'ARGUMENT
PASSED'. . .
Is this a bug or am I missing something here?

Re: [Flashcoders] Is this a bug?
Jester ...
Good Lord!! This is why I love Flash sooo much.
I looked at Dennis's question and thought, A-ha. I can answer this one.
Examined his code, couldn't se anything wrong, compared to similar code I
generate through AS. Everything looked OK.
Not allowed to have spaces - that would have tripped me up as well, and I
avoided it solely by chance.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Is this a bug?
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this before.
I am trying to pass an argument (String) to a function via an html link in a
text field that will execute specific code based on the value of the
argument, but the argument seems to get lost during the evaluation.
The html reads:
listText = pa href=\asfunction:showList, webcasts\View List/a/p;
The function reads:
function showList(medium:String) {
var media:String = medium;
trace(media); // returns: webcasts
trace(typeof(media)) // returns: string
//var media:String = webcasts;
if (media == webcasts) {
trace(ARGUMENT PASSED);
} else {
trace(media + ARGUMENT NOT PASSED); returns: webcasts ARGUMENT
NOT PASSED
}
}
The link triggers the function, and the webcasts argument get passed, but
gets lost or isn't recognized by the conditional (media == webcasts) and
fails to the ARGUMENT NOT PASSED trace.
When I comment out the 'var media:String = medium;' , and uncomment the
'var media:String = webcasts;', it results in 'true' and I get 'ARGUMENT
PASSED'. . .
Is this a bug or am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance for your help
Dennis

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary IO ?
I've been able to load binary files in Flash 7 and 8 using a small trick... I basically wrote a PHP script that reads a file and converts it to a string in hexadecimal. Flash then loads the string and converts it back to binary at runtime. Of course, it only works because the files I'm using are all under 3 kb... anything bigger would be overkill (since you're doubling the size of the files you are using). Anyway, it's still something that's available now, without having to wait for AS3 :-) On 12/27/05, Robert A.

How do we use AS3 ? I currently use Flash 8 Pro. Tyler Wright wrote: Reading yes, in ActionScript 3.0 which is currently in public Alpha and private Beta. In fact, the new DOM for AS3 offers the same power of streaming in files that the player uses for SWF's. So you can ask for a file, stream in a small portion (whatever you need) close the connection, and start up again where you left off when you need more! This is very exciting for situations that require large amounts of data to be transfered, the user doesn't have to wait for the whole thing to be able to benefit from it. Writing, not without an additional script or application. If you embed Flash in a standalone application (exe) it can do the writing for you. Server side all you need is a simple script that Flash sends the binary data to that writes it to disk. For writing Flash forces you to couple with other technologies. Prior to AS3 binary handling has been hard to work with and slow. Everything has to be read into a string and it can get messy with null-terminating characters. Hope this helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] No Key.isDown() method in AS3?
I can see a workaround though: It would be not too hard to write a class that listesn to the keyboard, and when an onKeyDown event is triggered, it reads the key and adds the keycode to an array. The keycode is then removed at an onKeyUp event. And the isDown method would just have to look through the array. Of course this is suboptimal, as it would never be as efficient as a built-in method to detect the state of a key...

Re: [Flashcoders] No Key.isDown() method in AS3?
Adding true to an array at the index of the keycode instead of adding the code to it might be better on looking through the array. Because you do not have to use for loop.
