[Flashcoders] Flash (AS2) vs Flex Remoting with CF

[Chris Velevitch]

I've seen references to the _RemoteClass trick, but only in relation
to returning results to Flex. What this does is allow to say:-

 var x:MyClass = resultObj.result;

instead of explicitly assigning each element of MyClass with the
corresponding value in resultObj.result;

How do you do this in Flash? There is an implicitation that the Flash
Remoting classes for Flex and Flash are different.

DOH! I should have known that. Thanks!

Now I've got to go fix my Win config. The installer claims that 'remoting is
installed' and won't run again, but import mx.remoting.Services can't be
loaded and clearly is not where it's suppose to be. Ah well, that's the easy
part. Thanks again!

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem with JPEGs

[stacey]

Not sure the setup but the vars are getting wiped away for sure so its
some kinda scoping issue.Loading the movieclip into "this" should wipe the
variables out. Loading them into an emptymovieclip, shouldn't.





class ui.overlay extends EventClip{
// not sure what eventClip is but whatever..

  private var holder_mc:MovieClip;
  private var text:String;

  public function overlay(){
 holder_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc",1);
  }

  public function showImage(url:String,text:String){

holder_mc.loadMovie(url);
this.text=text;
trace("TEXT has been set"+this.text);
_delegate = EventDelegate.create(this, onHitDataGrid);
datagrid.addEventListener("datagrid", _delegate);


  }
  public function onHitDataGrid(obj:Object){
trace("TEXT has been set"+this.text);
  }

}

You'll need a holder of sorts:

ImageHolder movieclip that holds all the info including the ImageMC
which actually displays the picture

[Flashcoders] LoadMovie Problem with JPEGs

[Robert Sandie]

Having a problem loading in an image within an AS2 class and LoadMovie with
jpegs. It loads the image perfectly but as soon as it does this it
automatically deletes all existing variables that are running within the
class. Instead of it losing all information  upon loadMovie would like to
keep it.

 

class ui.overlay extends EventClip {

 

.

 

public function showImage(url:String, text: String):Void{

this.loadMovie(url);

this.text=text;

_delegate = EventDelegate.create(this, onHitDataGrid);

datagrid.addEventListener("datagrid", _delegate);

}

 

private function onHitDataGrid(e:Object):Void{

trace(text); //works when don't load the jpeg.. does not work
when I do load the jpeg.

..

}

 

 

I have tried loading the movie into another movieclip inside of this class
and still no success. This is a little unusual and really my first time
loading in Images dynamically.  

 

Been struggling with this one for a while. Anyone know what might be going
on?

If you are using AS2, then you want to use import, not #include (which 
is AS1).

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Media Server

[JP]

My installation of FMS2 seemed to go well. (I chose the default insall
location and am just using the (free) developer license). I quickly ran into
the same problem however, but found that the built in Windows Firewall was
blocking outside connections. The other thing I found was that the max
connections limit was set to equal 1 in the installed Vhost.xml file.
(Developer edition allows for up to 10 connections). Once I changed this,
all the examples seemed to work for me.

Hope that helps,

Re: [Flashcoders] NetConnection Debugger not working in Flash 8?

[Grant Cox]

Yes and no.  On my main machine I have both installed, but on a 
secondary machine I uninstalled Flash MX2004 before installing Flash 8, 
and it exhibits the same problems.


Very odd indeed.


Gavin Lilley wrote:


I have exactly the same problem. I have installed a fresh version of 8 and

Do you have Flash 7 and Flash 8 on the same pc?

Im wondering if it is possible to install 7 first and then install 8 'over
the top of 7' to solve this problem.

I read about copying old library files across but as far as I can see I am
missing nothing.

The follow code, when applied to the first frame of an empty movie with

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:ASSetPropFlags and nested objects

[Mark Winterhalder]

> How do I trace out [object Object]??

use typeof to check if it's "object", "array", "movieclip" or
"function" (the types that can contain others as properties). if so,
just ASSetPropFlags again and for..in loop through these, too,
recursively.

*however*, you'll get stuck in a loop very quickly. just imagine a
reference to _root somewhere... that's why you must tag objects
somehow, to prevent looping through them again. also, you'll need a
time-to-live parameter, to set the maximum recursion depth (say, to
3).

this has all been discussed already, on december 1st and the following
days. the thread was called "Recursive loop showing all items".

hth,
mark

Sorry, didn't understand that one...

I have already tested as2api - and unfortunately it comes up with a bunch of

[Flashcoders] Q:ASSetPropFlags and nested objects

[bitstreams]

Hi
I want to be able to trace out ALL properties and values for nested objects. 
Will ASSetPropFlags allow me to do this??


If I define an object as:

//BEGIN CODE
myObject={
a:1, 
b:2, 
c:3,
 _event:{_parentOb:this, 
   method:'func', 
   _params:{arg1:1, arg2:2, arg3:3}
   }

};


ASSetPropFlags(myObject,null,0,1);



//trace out properties and values

for(var prop:String in myObject){

trace("propertyname:"+prop); 
trace("propertyvalue:"+myObject[prop]) ;


}


//CODE END

I get the following:
propertyname:a
propertyvalue:1
propertyname:b
propertyvalue:2
propertyname:c
propertyvalue:3
propertyname:_event
propertyvalue:[object Object]
propertyname:__proto__
propertyvalue:[object Object]
propertyname:constructor
propertyvalue:[type Function]


How do I trace out [object Object]??



Thanks in advance
Jim Bachalo

[Flashcoders] file upload script

[Paul BH]

Hi there,
 does anyone have a really simple file upload script in ASP.NET that I
can use with flash?

I got the following from oreilly, but not sure how best to adapt this
to work with filereference...

<%@ Import namespace="System.IO"%>


Uploading a File


Dim savePath As String = "C:\temp\"
Sub Upload_Click(source As Object, e As EventArgs)

  If Not (uploadedFile.PostedFile Is Nothing) Then
Try
  Dim postedFile = uploadedFile.PostedFile
  Dim filename As String = Path.GetFileName(postedFile.FileName)
  Dim contentType As String = postedFile.ContentType
  Dim contentLength As Integer = postedFile.ContentLength

  postedFile.SaveAs(savePath & filename)
  message.Text = postedFile.Filename & " uploaded" & _
"
content type: " & contentType & _
"
content length: " & contentLength.ToString()
Catch exc As Exception
  message.Text = "Failed uploading file"
End Try
  End If
End Sub






  Select File to Upload:

RE: [Flashcoders] Duplicating MC with Loader inside

[Adrian Lynch]

Well, this is what I've come up with:

// Show the MC with Loader that we will duplicate below
loaderContainer.loaderToDupe.contentPath = "dupe_loader.jpg";
loaderContainer.loaderToDupe.scaleContent = false;
loaderContainer.loaderToDupe.load();

loaderContainer.duplicateMovieClip("newLoaderContainer", 10);

// Defined a function in the yet to be initialised nested Loader
newLoaderContainer.loaderToDupe.whatToDo = function() {
trace("whatDoTo called");
this._x += 50;
this._y += 50;
this.contentPath = "dupe_loader.jpg";
this.scaleContent = false;
this.load();
};

// Use the container's oEF to wait for the existence of the loader's doLater
newLoaderContainer.onEnterFrame = function() {

if ( this.loaderToDupe.doLater != undefined ) {

trace("doLater() is there");
this.loaderToDupe.doLater(this.loaderToDupe, "whatToDo");
this.onEnterFrame = undefined;

} else {
trace("doLater() isn't there yet, so wait");
}

};

It assumes an MC, loaderContainer, with a Loader inside, loaderToDupe and an
image to load, dupe_loader.jpg.

If anyone has any thoughts on this I'd still like to hear them.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Duplicating MC with Loader inside


I knew of an initialisation problem with nested Loaders from another project
I did. Back then I didn't look too much in to it but this time I want to see
if I can find a solution.

Here's what I have and what I'm doing/trying to do:

- I have an MC on stage, inside this is a Loader component.

- I duplicate this MC, and hence the Loader inside it.

- I then set the properties' of the duped MC's Loader, contentPath and
scaleContent, and then call it's load() method.

If I do the above in sequence, the duped MC's Loader isn't initialised by
the time I try to set it's properties'.

If I delay using the duped MC's Loader, and instead fire an event that does
it, a button click for example, the Loader works fine.

I can think of two solutions, but I'm not too sure about them.

1. Set an interval to give the Loader time to get ready and then set the
properties.

2. Do the duping, check using an onEnterFrame to see if the nested Loaders
properties' exist and then set them.

The problem with 1 is, how long is long enough?

The problem with 2 is, will I get away with checking one property or will I
have to check them all? For example, I can check to see that contentPath is
difined, but what if load() isn't?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I suppose another question is, how can you tell if a component if fully
initialised and ready to use?

Thanks.

I have written a documentation tool:

the actionscript files:

http://www.as2docs.com/

Follow the link at the top to see what it produces.  It really is absurdly
easy to use - point-and-click for your *.as files and they're documented.

Should be completely finished to 2 weeks.
