Re: [Flashcoders] Outsourcing

[Ron Wheeler]

For starters, fix up your www site:

   More English content or a separate English language version
  
   Make your sample applications look more like finished products or 
more clearly identified as templates.


   If you have more demo templates to show off your skill, include them 
in your portfolio.


   Include a clear description of what type of work you are looking for 
or what services that you offer.


   Reference projects would help.

   Make sure that all of your links work. (TV... just goes to a 
directory listing)


Your current site does not give any confidence that your work will be 
correct or properly finished. It is working against you at the moment.


I hope that these ideas help you to get more of the work that you want.

Yes.  Tons of work is outsourced; it's the same with manufacturing; 
if the same job can be done cheaper in the long run, outsourcing is a 
good idea. There is a high demand for Flash, yes, but a higher demand 
for Flex is on the horizon, mainly because bigger projects are 
typically done with Flex, and as such, companies are needed to take 
responsibility with those projects vs. individuals.



I've been working remotely for a couple of webdesign firms in US and 
Australia and I think the reasons they take me in are my rates which 
is a lot cheaper, my eyes, and technical skill. Also, we knew each 
other very well, way before they take me into their projects.


I'm wondering, what more does it takes to push myself further into the 
outsourcing world? Certifications, perhaps?

Re: [Flashcoders] Accordion and scrollpane

[Ryan Matsikas]

you can do some minor math using a few Accordion properties (numChildren,
headerHeight and width/height)

then you can simply do..
var w:Number = accInst.width;
var h:Number = accInst.height - (accInst.headerHeight*accInst.numChildren);
getChildAt(index).setSize(w,h);

that should resize the child at "index" to the width of the accordion and
height of the accordion minus the hieght of all the headers.

Cheers,
Ryan

Re: [Flashcoders] performance difference between flash stand alone and browsers

[Sander]

JD:  why not use 50 fps when 25 is not accurate enough? I'm working

steps in tweens an high-speed object motion. It's hard to do hitTests

Yup. Browsers vary in how they allocate processor cycles to guest  
processes, like plugins. Varies with the browser brand, and varies  
with the platform too.


By running in the standalone you showed the natural top-rated  
performance.


But I would beg you not to set framerates up at 4500 redraws per  
minute -- if your visitor is in a browser like Firefox/Mac, which  
does not stop  background processes, your visitor could have a very  
unpleasant experience, *particularly* if someone else created a SWF  
on some other page in the audience's tabbed browsers which asks for  
so much processor time.


Even in your "18 fps IE/Win", the engine is *trying* to draw at its  
natural speed, even though the vast majority of those frames will  
never be displayed. It's a recipe for choking.


Disney animation was 24fps, two-up... twelve distinct pieces of art  
per second, each held for two frames on the celluloid. That's an  
actual framerate of 12fps. Film and television are usually just  
under 30fps. Demanding more than the audience's systems can give  
can make the overall experience of using that machine less than happy.

Re: [Flashcoders] negative depths and dynamically duplicated movie clips

[Alejandro Diaz]

Yep! that did it
Attaching the clips to a placeholder clip, rather than duplicating a clip
already on the stage did the trick. I guess each movie clip has its own
'depth stack', so I can put as many duplicates as I want, and they are all
where they should be, based on the placeholders position on the root depth
stack.

Thanks!

I synthesized a question from the description I read... Tareq seemed to 
pull out "What can prevent an ActiveX Control from being used in my 
browser?", I think... might explain why we reach different places. (It's 
hard when a question is actually a description, because the actual 
intended question needs to be confirmed first.)


If I guessed the question right, then the most frequent cause is that an 
ActiveX Control which is registered for a session may require a system 
restart to be unregistered... sorry for the long URL, but it's in the 
troubleshooting FAQ:

http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_15511#close_browser

I'm not sure whether the above is pertinent to whatever your client saw 
(I get the sense that you specified SWF7 and she didn't have it, but am 
not sure whether this was identified as the relevant issue in your 
troubleshooting), but the above is info on the question I was able to 
pull out of the description.

Re: [Flashcoders] htmlText formatting problems...

[ryanm]

   No, the html that is being pushed into the field all looks good. I seem 
to remember a problem with the htmlText truncating a few characters off the 
end of the string, though, which could jack up html formatting pretty quick, 
but it happens so intermittantly that it's unlikely that this is the 
problem.

to my app. What I have is a chat that uses htmlText to display the chat 
history. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, the text seems to break at about 
every 2-3 words, wrapping so that it is impossible to read. As soon as the 
next message is rendered it formats correctly, but it seems like either some 
invalid html is being put into the field (which I've checked for, and all 
the html is valid), or the width of the text field is being read incorrectly 
internally, causing the text to wrap at a ridiculously short width.


   What is this, has anyone seen this bug before? What can I do about it?

Re: [Flashcoders] embeded CSS issue

[grant]

Thanks Gregory,

The code in the email was a quick example, I really do allocate objects before 
I use them :)

It appears you are right that the only reliable way is with parse css function 
as the built in stuff in 8 really doesn't seem to work at all.

Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] performance difference between flash stand alone and browsers

[John Dowdell]

David Skoglund wrote:

I have created a small game that runs with a very high framerate when
running in the standalone flashplayer (90+ fps) but is very sluggish in both
IE and Firefox (more like 18 fps). As a matter of fact I still get a good
framerate in the standalone player, while simultainously running the
sluggish game in a browser!
I don’t really understand why the performance is so slow. Can anyone
enlighten me on what bottlenecks I might have stumped onto? 



Yup. Browsers vary in how they allocate processor cycles to guest 
processes, like plugins. Varies with the browser brand, and varies with 
the platform too.


By running in the standalone you showed the natural top-rated performance.

But I would beg you not to set framerates up at 4500 redraws per minute 
-- if your visitor is in a browser like Firefox/Mac, which does not stop 
 background processes, your visitor could have a very unpleasant 
experience, *particularly* if someone else created a SWF on some other 
page in the audience's tabbed browsers which asks for so much processor 
time.


Even in your "18 fps IE/Win", the engine is *trying* to draw at its 
natural speed, even though the vast majority of those frames will never 
be displayed. It's a recipe for choking.


Disney animation was 24fps, two-up... twelve distinct pieces of art per 
second, each held for two frames on the celluloid. That's an actual 
framerate of 12fps. Film and television are usually just under 30fps. 
Demanding more than the audience's systems can give can make the overall 
experience of using that machine less than happy.

Susan,

Your problem isn't the application accepting the certificate, it's the
browser that has to accept it. Flash embedded in a web page communicates
through the browser. Unfortunately, in some cases where you'd usually
get a
warning (such as with Netscape), it silently fails.

The best thing to do until you figure out whats wrong with your
certificate
is to have the HTML itself served up from your secure site. This will
then
always prompt the user to accept, allowing them to view other content
(the
FLV's) from that site.

RE: [Flashcoders] negative depths and dynamically duplicated movie clips

[j.c.wichman]

Hi,
Don't know if this would solve it, but I think one way would be to order
your timeline like this:

Toplayer: all my non-dynamic stuff
Not-so-top-layer: dummyholder clip

Now on mouse move you simply attach your clips to the dummyholder.
Since the dummy holder is on a layer below the rest of your stuff, all
should be ok.

[Flashcoders] negative depths and dynamically duplicated movie clips

[Alejandro Diaz]

Greetings all,

Hoping someone can help me out a bit in this conundrum here.
I am trying to have a dynamically duplicated movie clip that is created
whenever the user moves the mouse. When I have 'normal' values for depth (as
in anything over 0), the code works perfectly, but I need this to be
underneath all the content that is non-dynamic, and once i set the dept to
negative, the movie stops working correctly.

After a bit of reading, i found that the depth in duplicateMovieClip() is
reserved from -16383 to -1 for author-time content, leaving the single value
of -16384 to put dynamically created content underneath everything else.  Is
there any work around or trick (outside of puting the entire author time
content into a movie clip and telling that to be at a specific, higher
value) to 'free up' some more of that negative depth real estate?

Thanks in advance!

RE: [Flashcoders] image manipulation

[Kamyar Nazeri]

Hey Scott, that’s great. The indexed color palette algorithm is what I’d 
considered myself. But after all this algorithm is CPU intensive on both client 
and server side!
   
  I just wish that Macromedia – god I can’t use to Adobe:) – had introduced a 
File class in flash player to create/download/upload pre-defined files from 
within flash player. say, you could create .txt files from a given String 
object, .xml form an xml object and .bmp or maybe .png & .jpg from BitmapData 
object. You could use FileReference class to upload/download these files and 
hence this would cause no security sandbox restrictions!
   
  I guess I’ll send the issue to macromedia wish list today:)

[Flashcoders] Loading swf From External Server Issue

[Shawn Dos Santos]

Hello,
Am running into an issue here getting functions to work across servers.
Had the file working previously when it was calling the file locally, 
however now that it has moved the functions are no longer working.


Previous code (that worked):

on(release)
{
if(!adIsLoaded)
{
ad.loadMovie("localFile.swf");
adIsLoaded = true;
}
else if(ad.isPaused)
{
ad.play();
ad.isPaused = false;
}
else
{
ad.stop();
ad.isPaused = true; 
}
}

Code that is not working on a server... it works locally.

on(release)
{
if(!adIsLoaded)
{
ad.loadMovie("http://url.com/localFile.swf";);
adIsLoaded = true;
}
else if(ad.isPaused)
{
ad.play();
ad.isPaused = false;
}
else
{
ad.stop();
ad.isPaused = true; 
}
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

[Flashcoders] Custom Filters, Contributing

[Trey Long]

Alright, I posted this a while back to the Flexcoders list and no one 
was able to really offer any help. I hear it from a good source that 
this list is more programmer oriented so please, a moment of your time.


You can also see the filter in action here: 
http://www.drisgill.com/index.cfm/2006/2/10/Flex-Reflection-Effect


Old Post:
I created my own bitmap filter from scratch. I was hoping that I could
follow the MM framework on this one but there is no info in the API nor
is there an interface that I can follow.

If any Adobe / MM guys have any advice on this one please let me know. I
would like to just use it in the same way that standard Flex filters are
used. I also wouldn't mind contributing the filter if it pleases anyone.

-Trey

Standard way filters are used to me is the following:
Copy filters array out of DisplayObject, push filter on array, set back
to filters array of display object.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mask not defining mc width && height in, imported swf.

[Matt Muller]

solved...

private function centerThreeSixty():Void
{
var midX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var midY:Number = Stage.height/2;

if (originX == null && origMidX == null)
{
origMidX = midX;
origMidY = midY;

originX = targetThreeSixty._x;
originY = targetThreeSixty._y;
}

var diffX:Number = (midX - origMidX);
var diffY:Number = (midY - origMidY);

targetThreeSixty._x = originX + diffX;
targetThreeSixty._y = originY + diffY;
}

only works if the stage is bigger than the clip tho :|

RE: [Flashcoders] image manipulation

[Ben Smeets]

Theoretically I guess this should be possible. You would lose the jpg
format though, so the server should have something there to re-create
the image for the pixel data and accept the performance loss when
recompressing to jpg. Performance would probably suck too :) But doable
I think.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mask not defining mc width && height in, imported swf.

[w03]

This can be more complicated than it seems... if, like I was, you are using the 
imported MC height and width to find center position.  These values change as 
the offstage mcs move around or march onto stage.

If set the center position once, and import the mc there, it'll stay put.
If call centering routine a lot, (say on a resize function), the mc will jump around depending on the current width,height.  


If you use origional centering data (i.e. save the position) and then use that 
in your resize function (calculate new mc position based on old mc position, 
not on mc width/height) then you may be able to stop the behavior.

If you wrote the Q you may understand this answer, otherwise, don't bother!

Re: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths

[Dimitrios Bendilas]

Right, this is not what I'm trying to achieve. The issue
is only for textfields, not movieclips.

I finally managed to find a workaround that works.
I used the TextField.prototype.swapDepths = MovieClip.prototype.swapDepths;
approach and it worked great!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and discussion.

Re: [Flashcoders] Masking with a scale9 clip

[Cedric Muller]

sorry, but why do you want to mask with a scale9 clip ?
you want to make some alpha gradient borders ?
cedric


Anyone come up with a decent workaround for this as the standard way
doesn't seem to work (it disables the scale9 functionality).
I have lots of ideas (using bitmap data to create a copy, try  
nesting it

within another mc etc.) but if anyone has already developed a solution
it'll save me the fruitless investigation.

SV: [Flashcoders] performance difference between flash stand aloneandbrowsers

[David Skoglund]

@Fitzpatrick/Sistermans:
90 fps is just just for testing purposes, since I know most users wont have
as fast computer as me. I am aiming for 30 or at least 25 fps for the game
to feel responsive enough.

@Smeets:
My browser player is 8.0.22.0, but i publish for flash 7. Does that mean
that the player needs to emulate a flash 7-player or something like that?

Honest question: Why are you running it at 90fps?  That's incredibly
fast.  TV runs only at ~30 fps and film at only 24 fps.

As to your question, my guess would be that browsers, as applications,
require a whole lot more memory and processing power to run than the
just the standalone app because they are running their own application +
the flash player.  Scaling shouldn't change anything as there is still
as much information to render, it's just using smaller lines to do so.
I hope that helps you out.

Subject: [Flashcoders] performance difference between flash stand alone

I have created a small game that runs with a very high framerate when
running in the standalone flashplayer (90+ fps) but is very sluggish in
both
IE and Firefox (more like 18 fps). As a matter of fact I still get a
good
framerate in the standalone player, while simultainously running the
sluggish game in a browser!

 

I don't really understand why the performance is so slow. Can anyone
enlighten me on what bottlenecks I might have stumped onto?  I have
tried to
scale the game to 50% but it doesn't affect performance very much.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mask not defining mc width && height in imported swf.

[Cedric Muller]

this is strange:

animationMask = controlClip.createEmptyMovieClip("...
animationMask = animationMask.attachMovie("mask", "animationMask"...)

try naming your variables a different way ...
like
animationMask0 = controlClip.createEmptyMovieClip(".
animationMask1 = animationMask0.attachMovie("mask",  
"animationMask", ...)


I don't know if this will change something, but try ... as it could  
explain the messing up when onResize is called 

hth,
Cedric



I am, in fact Im tracing it to be say 900px, then im pushing all  
the clips
into an array which loops and traces on resize, and the width  
somehow jumps

to 1300px.

var animClipTop :MovieClip;
var animClip  :MovieClip;
var animationMask:MovieClip;

animClip = controlClip.animHoldClip.createEmptyMovieClip 
("anim_"+counter,

depth++);
animationMask = controlClip.createEmptyMovieClip 
("animationMaskClip"+counter,

depth++);
animationMask = animationMask.attachMovie("mask", "animationMask",  
depth++,

{_x:-15.5, _y:-19});

then once its loaded...

animClip.setMask(animationMask);

it also has a mask in the swf masking everything. I smell a bug.  
This only

happens onResize.

Re: [Flashcoders] Debugging Flash Online

[g.wygonik]

Along the lines of Mark's post, i have a Windows-based tool that allows you
to view trace() output from the browser in a nice window, along with search
capabilities, color coding options, the ability to toggle Flash Player
warnings and/or user trace() calls, and takes care of making the necessary
mm.cfg files if you need.

more info is here:

RE: [Flashcoders] performance difference between flash stand alone andbrowsers

[Ben Smeets]

Might be a straightforward question, but are you sure your standalone
and browser players are of the same version? ActiveX being fp7 instead
of fp8 might explain it.

Subject: [Flashcoders] performance difference between flash stand alone

I have created a small game that runs with a very high framerate when
running in the standalone flashplayer (90+ fps) but is very sluggish in
both IE and Firefox (more like 18 fps). As a matter of fact I still get
a good framerate in the standalone player, while simultainously running
the sluggish game in a browser!

 

I don't really understand why the performance is so slow. Can anyone
enlighten me on what bottlenecks I might have stumped onto?  I have
tried to scale the game to 50% but it doesn't affect performance very
much.

 

Thanks for any hints,

[Flashcoders] Mask not defining mc width && height in imported swf.

[Matt Muller]

Im building a microsite, that is aligned to the center of the stage. I am
loading in animations that are swfs that are meant to run in the viewable
area in the microsite.
The animation fla's are exported as swfs with a mask, and I am also trying
to setMask in the shell, the animators tweens and shapes that are outside of
the mask
are affecting the size of my shell and when onResize() is called the site
jumps all over the show.

Does anyone have any ideas, bar going into the animations and cleaning up
everything that is outside the mask to get a perfect rectangle bounding box,
surely
there must be a way to do this, I have draw regions on and can see
everything going on outide the mask.

Quick fixes?

Thanks

Unfortunately dont have access to the source files since they are co-branded

You could create a container movie that loads in the .SWF banners, and put
the click code in your container. You might have to worry about security
policy files and the like, tho', if you're loading them from other websites.

[Flashcoders] Syntax formatting xml function

[Ben Smeets]

Hi all,

Does anybody know if there is some function somewhere with which I can
format an xml block so that it is more readable?

The intention is to have my xml-debugging thingie put out some more
usable debug info by by formatting the output (the kind of formatting
you see for e.g. php code in forums for example).

If anybody knows if there is a function somewhere which does the
indenting and even better some coloring of the text blob, tnx in
advance.

I'm trying to find some more info on accordions and especially how to let

[Jim Tann]

I don't think you will have any copyright issues as the games are so old
and have been copied so many times I guess they are public domain now.
If you are worried about that you should put an "Originally by Namco" or
something on there.

As for the coding I think you are going to have to do it from scratch
unless you can find someone that has made them before that you can get
the code off of. They are simple games and should not take too long to
build, there will be examples of them on the web somewhere im sure.

Re: [Flashcoders] [Off Topic] Adobe web site

[nik crosina]

Hi John,

I tried that and it timed out after the 12th hop, the ones below being
the 10th and 11th:

10   83   84   83206.223.117.174 adobe-sec-ed.sjo.equinix.net
11   92   92   92192.150.18.4  sjeqcinetfw.adobe.com

Also, I am tring this from a heavily fortified corporate network, so
it might have something to do with that. Maybe some coding in the page
does not entirely agree with firewalls, filtering, etc.

But I know too little about this side of things to be of any real help I guess.

Best R,

Nik C

RE: [Flashcoders] Version issues

[Tareq AlJaber]

Another thought : 

The root cause of your issue could be due to the dial-up accelerators
which can affect Flash Movie Playback by removing active-x plug-in from
the webpage.
Please go through the solution in the following TechNote :

Try the following one step at time and after each step restart your
machine :
1. Reinstall the Player.
2. Install Standalone Player
3. Reinstall the browser.
Hope this Helps

Subject: [Flashcoders] Version issues

Heya,
 
I have a client whos having a problem viewing a Flash widget I built for
them. She's saying all she sees is a white square, rather than a
scrolling news widget.
 
I got her to check her Flash version number on this page:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_15507

And its reporting: WIN 6,0,79,0 

Yeah she needs to upgrade, but I want it to work for people who might be
running this version of Flash. I downloaded version 6 of Flash from this
page:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14266

And installed the 'fp_6.0.79_activex.exe' file from the 'r79' directory.
This is after uninstalling Flash using Macromedia's uninstaller. Now
when I go to the Flash version checking page, its reporting this
version: WIN 7,0,19,0

Why is it telling me I have version 7 of Flash installed, when I just
installed version 6?

How would I get my install version to match my clients?

Thanks!
