[Flashcoders] Sound.stop(linkage) problem
Hi everyone, I was pulling out my hair a while ago because in my movie, when I stopped one sound it stopped all. After commenting code randomly, I found out the anySound.stop() stopped all sounds. Looking at the documentation, it says you can specify what sound to stop using a linkage ID. I understand that'd work fine if you use sound.attachSound (getting a sound from the library), but what if you use sound.loadSound(file)? What is the linkageID now? Thank you, -- Ramon Miguel M.

Re: [Flashcoders] Z sorting multiple overlapping movie clips
mc.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth() ) works with me. It puts it above the rest. "Parameters target:Object - This parameter can take one of two forms: - A Number that specifies the depth level where the movie clip is to be placed. - A String that specifies the movie clip instance whose depth is swapped with the movie clip for which the method is being applied. Both movie clips must have the same parent movie clip." -- Ramon Miguel M.

I thought you could only swap depths with movieclips, get night higest depths just returns what depth would be the next highest, it doesn't actually create the depth.

RE: [Flashcoders] Z sorting multiple overlapping movie clips
Problem with that is if the item you click on is under other items and
it swaps depths with the top item, the top item then appears under
things it wasn't. I did it this way first and it looked very weird.
I ended up just writing a depth sorter, each of the objects that are
added to the screen dispatch a registration event and the depth sorter
adds them to a list and stores a sorted depths list, when an item wants
to be on top I figure out where it is in the Z order and then swap it
with the item above it and then the next, and next and next until I get
to the top, that way the Z order is preserved just like in a windowing
system.
Cheers,
Grant

It might be a lot simpler to just do something like:
// Untested.
// Assuming clips are given depths based on ID var highest_depth:Number
= clips_array.length;
// click handler
function click_handler(e:Object):Void {
if (e.target.getDepth() != (highest_depth)) {
e.target.swapDepths(++highest_depth);
}
}
---
This should be fine for IIRC 2 billion+ clicks, with some caveats for
depths greater than 1M..
My 10p,

Re: [Flashcoders] way to get window.location from flash?
Hey Alan -
Thanks!
As for us knowing where games are being posted, the answers are "sometimes"
and "kind of" :)
For sites that support it we generate javascript code, and then we do grab
the location, in this case the full URL of the page, when the game is loaded
and log it in our tracking database.
For all sites, when a user generates the code and picks what site they want
it for, we include the name of the site in the embed code. When the game is
loaded we log that in the tracking database. So we know where the code was
intended for, but we don't know the exact URL or even if it really is on
that site, unless, as noted above, the site supports javascript.
Kind of a drag, but I have yet to find a way to get the location without
script access. But the ideas in this thread are great - some of the other
sites that don't allow javascript might not be setting AllowScriptAccess to
"never", so it would actually work. I'll have to go look at the code they
generate. Doesn't hurt to try and get it...
And yeah, along with setting AllowScriptAccess to "never", if I remember
correctly MySpace also doesn't seem to like # characters (like in color
values) or tags...
best, - rajat

Re: [Flashcoders] way to get window.location from flash?
great question..
my solution
var host:String = String(ExternalInterface.call("eval", "
window.location.host"));
only works when:
[ie] the id, classId and scriptAccess are included and scriptAccess is set
to always
[mozilla] scriptAccess = "always"
are you saying that myspace will overwrite what I put in?
I will try this out on myspace tommorrow and report back...

[Flashcoders] embedding images into an SWF
Can anyone suggest a tool or two that will allow me to insert bitmap images into a SWF file, and then convert it to a quicktime video movie? The idea is to dynamically customize pre-made SWFs on a server and then convert and send them to a video capable device.

Re: [Flashcoders] way to get window.location from flash?
Just a quick question - do these calls to javascript work when the embed tag
has disabled script access? For instance, whenever you put a Flash movie
into a page at MySpace, they always set AllowScriptAccess to "never".

[Flashcoders] Fonts in v2 components
Ok, I have made a movieclip that has some v2 TextInput fields In it. I am
exporting for Actionscript in the first frame & then attaching to the _root
with Actionscript. Now the problem I am having is that all of the text is
not showing. If I take the same movieclip and drag from the library onto the
stage the text appears. In fact I can have the one dragged onto the stage
ond the one attached with Actionscript next to each other one with text &
one without.
I have tried using "setStyle("fontFamily", "Arial");" on the elements but
this makes no difference. Has anyone cone across this problem before? Is
there a fix?
Cheers
Jim

Re: [Flashcoders] prototypes?
i found a prototype on a website for easing. it works in their fla... i am trying to get it work here. when i load the swf, nothing happens... the object i am trying to ease is ball1 is the instance. the name in the library is test. Regardless of the code you have in hand, you might want to consider using something more advanced for easing. Prototype or no prototype, there's a lot easier + cooler + more pratical ways to do easing or transitions (including sliding stuff on screeen). Your Flash development life will never be the same after you start using a tweening extension. There's a lot of them around. They're more or less the same, with different syntaxes however. Here's a bunch of them: Flash MX 2004's built in easing classes: http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/advanced/Tween-Easing_Classes_Documented/index.shtml Laco's Tweening: http://laco.wz.cz/tween/ Moses Gunesch's Fuse Kit: http://www.mosessupposes.com/Fuse/ Tatsuo Kato's dynTween: http://tatsuokato.com/flash/dynTweenMX.html Zeh (mine)'s MC Tween: http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween - zeh ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

fun to find this one in a ~1 lines project.
So...technically that is legal, though I don't know why anyone would do that.
First of all, you can put a constant on a line by itself, and it just
does nothing:
3; // this is legal in AS
myObj.blah[3] // this is also legal
Secondly, there is the syntax ([expr1],[expr2],...,[exprN]), which
will execute all the expressions, and return the result of exprN.
so:
(1,2,3)
is the same as:
function blah()
{
1; // legal, as per above.
2;
return 3;
}
blah();
Finally, your statement combines the two principles:
o.arguments[1,2,3];
is the same as :
o.arguments[ (1,2,3) ];
compiles to:
1;
2;
o.arguments[3];
which are 3 legal commands, but they don't do anything.
Hope this helps your understanding a bit. But I agree, MMC should
definately have a 'strict compile' mode that warns when you do weird
things like that. AS3 probably would complain (maybe not though?)

[Flashcoders] Flvplayback and cuepoints.
Hello,
I have 2 .avi files which I encoded to .flv using flash 8. Now, all I want
to do is fire an function when each video completes. Sounds easy enough. So
I figure I'll use the "complete" event that gets fired from the flv
component. This only works on 1 of the .flv's. The other one refuses to fire
this off so I figure I'll use a cuePoint on this one.
So I'm using this code:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace("Cue point name: " + eventObject.info.name);
}
vid1PlayBack_cmp.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
I first created the cuepoint event inside the movie when I was encoding --
did not work. Then I tried using the component parameter window and setting
up the cuepoint there. Didn't work.
What am I doing wrong
Is there another workaround that I could do. I simply want to start up the
main timeline again when the video ends.
Tia,
-Dan

Re: [Flashcoders] Filereference upload on macintosh

z = new XML('8334151063515');
var thePath_str:String = "Localidades/Localidad[idLocalidad=83 or
idComunidadAutonoma=15]";
var result_array:Array = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(z.firstChild,thePath_str);
for (var i:Number = 0; i < result_array.length; i++) {

}
i'm just tracing out the firstChild but the query will contain the whole node.

Experience. Time estimations are not a science, ecspecially considering
the
plethora of things that can go wrong. If you run a company, off-load
some
of the time estimtaions to the developer/designers themselves, and then
compare estimated with actual as well as order (sometimes you do tasks

if
you want to charge for what you are doing, you need to be accurate, and
it's

So...technically that is legal, though I don't know why anyone would do that.
First of all, you can put a constant on a line by itself, and it just
does nothing:
3; // this is legal in AS
myObj.blah[3] // this is also legal
Secondly, there is the syntax ([expr1],[expr2],...,[exprN]), which
will execute all the expressions, and return the result of exprN.
so:
(1,2,3)
is the same as:
function blah()
{
1; // legal, as per above.
2;
return 3;
}
blah();
Finally, your statement combines the two principles:
o.arguments[1,2,3];
is the same as :
o.arguments[ (1,2,3) ];
compiles to:
1;
2;
o.arguments[3];
which are 3 legal commands, but they don't do anything.
Hope this helps your understanding a bit. But I agree, MMC should
definately have a 'strict compile' mode that warns when you do weird
things like that. AS3 probably would complain (maybe not though?)

RE: [Flashcoders] {Business/Workflow} The use of mock prototypes
I agree with Jesse. Prototypes and good mock-ups seem to do the trick.
I have been working with a lot of design agencies lately that farm out
the motion design and AS code to me as a freelancer. I have been paying
special attention to how they interface with the client and how they get
the work. From what I have seen there is a direct correlation between
how much time they spend mocking-up designs up front even before they
get the job and how often they get the job. I know, I know, that makes
sense. But it is really hard sometimes to spend 80 hours on a bunch of
design mock-ups not knowing whether of not the client is going to chose
you.
I recently asked one of the designers that take this approach and how he
feels about his designs not being used sometimes. He said if it is a
good flexible design he will often use it for another client down the
road. So basically, they eventually get paid for the work anyway. It
is the same as code re-use.
With this particular design firm, once they get the client they pay me
to do a bunch of prototypes and proof-of-concepts as the first round of
motion comps that they show to the client. It actually ends up being
cheaper and faster then trying to explain the motion design to the
client. If you have ever tried to explain how an interface might
animate you can see the point of why it is faster to just show them then
to try to explain it. "Um... Er... This thingy is going to fade, and
the logo scales in from the left then the background blurs in while the
mask on the text drops down with a nice Exponential-Ease-In-Out". You
get a lot of blank stares and people asking why the text is in Latin, or
the prep-school-grads tell you that it is not even real Latin.
So basically the most effective workflow that I have seen is:
Initial Meeting: Get requirements
Detailed Design Comps
Second Meeting: Show the mock-ups, Get the Job
Create Prototypes and Prove Your Ideas
Third Meeting: Show the motion comps and get feedback
Build it
Forth Meeting: Bug Fixes and Change Requests
Deliver Get Paid From Happy Client

Re: [Flashcoders] {Business/Workflow} The use of mock prototypes
Thorough prototyping is so key. I made a prototyping tool for internal use that allows people to discuss prototype screens. This allows the designer to follow a discussion between users, creating elements as they are requested. I got the inspiration from success with FLiP - style development http://www.fusebox.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=fusebox.faq#gq20, which uses something called devnotes http://www.grokfusebox.com/index.cfm?ref=showGoodies. Benefits are the user knows what they are getting -- no surprises -- and the requirements can be traced from devnotes all the way through the code if necessary. The public forum also helps eliminate the closed-door design decisions that cause conflict. Anyway this is how I prototype so maybe it can give others some ideas.

RE: [Flashcoders] way to get window.location from flash?
If you want the URL of the page (not the SWF), you can try something like:
getURL
('javascript:document.getElementById("object_id").setVariable("url_string",
window.location.href); void (0);');

Re: [Flashcoders] {Business/Workflow} The use of mock prototypes
Experience. Time estimations are not a science, ecspecially considering the
plethora of things that can go wrong. If you run a company, off-load some
of the time estimtaions to the developer/designers themselves, and then
compare estimated with actual as well as order (sometimes you do tasks in
different order than planned). Yes, there is overhead in tracking, but if
you want to charge for what you are doing, you need to be accurate, and it's
a process of continually improving yours and everyone's time estimating
abilities.

In fact, most turn into projects if you aren't careful. I've found, if you
have a talented designer, you're best bet is to get them to create mock
prototypes to get in front of users quickly before the actual developers
imlement the interface. Change control is challenging in that the designer
is responsible for not only keeping track of what changed, but informing her

also challenging because developers obviously think functionality is more

Re: [Flashcoders] Returning an XML Object
Hey Peter,
First probelm I see is this...
In your photo_navigation() method, you do this...
trace("my_xml = " + my_xml);
... immediately after this...
var my_xml = load_xml(xml_file);
When you call the trace() your xml won't have loaded yet and therefore will
not have been returned. I'm guessing that's where you're getting
'undefined'.
Another potential issue you may end up with, again in your
photo_navigation() method, is that you declare your 'my_xml' var within the
method. I think I'm correct in saying that this means the variable is scoped
only to that method - i.e. you won't be able to access it from anywhere
else. To fix it use something like this...
// Contents of photo_navigation.as
class photo_navigation extends xml_loader {
public var my_xml:XML;
// constructor
public function photo_navigation(xml_file:String) {
// take the xml_file string and pass it to the superclass
"xml_loader"
my_xml = load_xml(xml_file);
// trace out the contents of "my_xml"
trace("my_xml = " + my_xml);
}
}
Note that the variable is declared (but with no value) in the body of the
'photo_navigation' class and is initialised in the constructor *without* the
var decleration. This way you will be able to access the variable from
anywhere in the class and, since it is declared as public, from anywhere
outside the class too.
Hope this helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] multi-threading / xml progress meter solutions?
I found this xml dynamic preloader in the flash 8 docs that works like a
charm. You need to tweak the location of the preloader bar, and the name of
your xml file, but it's pretty sweet for larger xml loads.
var barWidth:Number = 200;
var barHeight:Number = 6;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("pBar_mc", );
var bar:MovieClip = pBar_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("bar_mc", 10);
bar.beginFill(0xFF, 100);
bar.moveTo(0, 0);
bar.lineTo(barWidth, 0);
bar.lineTo(barWidth, barHeight);
bar.lineTo(0, barHeight);
bar.lineTo(0, 0);
bar.endFill();
bar._xscale = 0;
var stroke:MovieClip = pBar_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("stroke_mc", 20);
stroke.lineStyle(0, 0x00);
stroke.moveTo(0, 0);
stroke.lineTo(barWidth, 0);
stroke.lineTo(barWidth, barHeight);
stroke.lineTo(0, barHeight);
stroke.lineTo(0, 0);
pBar_mc.createTextField("label_txt", 30, 0, barHeight, 100, 21);
pBar_mc.label_txt.autoSize = "left";
pBar_mc.label_txt.selectable = false;
pBar_mc.label_txt.textColor = 0xFF;
// location of preloader on the movie stage
pBar_mc._x = -160;
pBar_mc._y = 0;
var my_xml:XML = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
my_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
pBar_mc.onEnterFrame = undefined;
if (success) {
myText.text = my_xml;
pBar_mc._visible=false;
pBar_mc.label_txt._visible=false;
trace("XML loaded successfully");
} else {

}
};
my_xml.load("Publications.xml");
pBar_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {

Subject: [Flashcoders] multi-threading / xml progress meter solutions?
Hello flashcoders,
I was wondering what solutions people have for activity while trying to
load and parse XML data? My application takes a solid 2-3 seconds to
load and all attempts to build preloaders and progress meters seem to
fail. It seems that the application is hanging while it sorts out the
XML data.
I suppose that this topic might also be valuable for other applications.
Thoughts? Comments?
Thanks all,
Scott

[Flashcoders] C# and ExternalInterface problems
Hi All, We've been working on integrating Flash with C# through External Interface, but have hit a brick wall with an odd error. We've go ExternalInterface calling C# functions fine, it's the reverse which is not working. C# in .NET throws an "Unspecified Error" when calling an exposed Actionscript function with both the stuff I've written and another example we've got off the net. However, if we use VB .NET (which apparently should compile to the same thing), the same Flash files work fine (both the in-house things and the examples from the net). Has anyone come across this before and know of a solution? At the moment it looks like we'll have to wrap VB in the C# just to let C# call AS functions, which is pretty irritating.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash and server side databases
Alberto, Look generally under the heading Flash Remoting. Also check AMFPHP - good if the database server is running PHP. More generally, wherever you can read a file, e.g. sendAndLoad() or loadXML(), substitute a script executing on a server and treat the data stream it returns as a file. The more difficult question is whether or not Flash is a good tool for interactive applications. Let's leave the "communicate with rather large server-side databases" out of it for the time being. Yes, if you want a tight, completely under your control, with v. private communication with the server, kind of app, and if you want to do something progressive, without a lot of page reloads. But with AJAX you can also achieve a high degree of interactivity, without page reloads. There was a thread on here last month about rich Internet applications. There were two incredible examples, www.gigagolf.com, and one which provided an online, Excel-like interactive tool to analyze acquisition possibilities for investors / merchant bankers. (At least that's how I remember it.) A classic "it depends". Tools? A text editor, a scripting language on the server iwth the appropriate drivers/functions to access the database. If you have no experience with databases a quick familiarization with database terminology, normalization, basic SQL commands, which you can get from a gazillion sources. Hope this is helpful - Miles Thompson At 12:03 PM 3/1/2006, Alberto Florentin wrote: Hi all, I have been programming in Flash for quite a while, but always in the basic sense of rather complex applications which run on web pages or projectors.

Hi,
Remove the include line, it´s not neccessary, since include "copy&pastes"
the content of the as class in you rcurrent document, which is not what you
want.
The next error you´ll probably recieve is that you missed a Constructor in
your Class, you need at least this

Classes are "imported" not "included". Classes in the same directory
as the FLA don't need to be imported.
FYI: The F8 manual has some good tutes on getting started with using
classes. I recommend that you give them a good read :)

You're mixing together AS1 and AS2.
#include should be import:

You're getting the error because you're trying in include the source of
a class inside the flash, instead of importing the class itself.

[Flashcoders] Bold and italic charater options with html text
Hi List,
I have posted this a few times. Am i asking a question which has already
been covered or can i get this info else where. I have read the manual and
consulted my mook books but am none the wiser. Please help!
I'm having a few issues with html formatted text-fields.
I have embedded the following fonts in the library and given them linkage
names Helvetica 55 Roman, 75 Helvetica Bold, Helvetica 56 Italic. Then I am
using the code below to try to dynamically produce a textfield which can be
populated with text marked up with simple html tags ( in the real
application the text will come from an XML file containing said text). My
client wishes to use html as their copy writers know how to use it.
My problem is this the tags are ignored. What is the best course of action/
best practice in this situation? I was thinking of creating a function to
assign a bold textformat (theBold) to the characters in the textfield. I
could get the index of the text using pattern matching in the string but
that just seems a bit like over kill isn't there a better way?
theRoman = new TextFormat("Helvetica 55 Roman", 15, 0x33, true, false,
false, null, null, "center");
theBold = new TextFormat("75 Helvetica Bold", 15, 0x33, true, false,
false, null, null, "center");
theItalic = new TextFormat("Helvetica 56 Italic", 15, 0x33, true, false,
false, null, null, "center");
// create a text feild
this.createTextField('txtMain', 0, 10, 10, 300, 300);
//
txtMain.html = true;
txtMain.background = true;
txtMain.backgroundColor = 0xFF6600;
txtMain.wordWrap = true;
txtMain.embedFonts = true;
txtMain.setNewTextFormat(theRoman);
txtMain.htmlText = " Last Updated: Wednesday, 15 February 2006,";
txtMain.htmlText += "23:48 GMT E-mail this to a friend Printable
version US attacks Iraq abuse images leak";
// set another text format
txtMain.setTextFormat(0, 6, theBold);
txtMain.setTextFormat(6, 15, theItalic);

Re: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths
Accidentally discovered a workaround:
although you could not apply swapDepth to textField directly, you could do
it with help of mc dummy:
//text_txt - text field on a timeline
var newTFdepth = 1;
mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("dummy", newTFdepth);
trace("1 t:" + text_txt.getDepth())//traced: -16383
trace("1 mc:" + mc.getDepth()) //traces: 1
var oldTFdepth = text_txt.getDepth();
mc.swapDepths( oldTFdepth );
trace("2 t:" + text_txt.getDepth());//traces: 1
trace("2 mc:" + mc.getDepth());//traced: -16383

[Flashcoders] Returning an XML Object
Howdy folks,
Just trying to get my head wrapped around this issue. In
photo_navigation.as, I'm trying to get back a return type of XML from
xml_loader. But when I attempt this: "trace("my_xml = " + my_xml);", I end
up getting: "my_xml = undefined". Somewhere along the line I'm losing the
my_xml value in xml_loader.as because the value returned is empty.
I've been banging my head against this problem awhile now and need a second
or third opinion...
// Contents of xml_loader.as:
class xml_loader extends MovieClip {
// constructor
public function xml_loader() {
}
// public method to load the xml file
public function load_xml(xml_file:String) {
var myclass = this
// Create a local variable that points back to the current object
var thisObj:xml_loader = this;
// Create a local variable, which is used to load the XML file.
var my_xml:XML = new XML();
// Ignore whitespace
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
// Upon successful load of the xml file
my_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
thisObj.init(my_xml);
// return the my_xml variable value
return my_xml;
} else {
trace("error loading XML");
return null;
}
};
// Begin loading the XML document.
my_xml.load(xml_file);
}
public function init(my_xml):Void {
// uncommenting the following line results in the xml being printed
correctly
// trace(my_xml);
}
}
// Contents of photo_navigation.as
class photo_navigation extends xml_loader {
// constructor
public function photo_navigation(xml_file:String) {
// take the xml_file string and pass it to the superclass
"xml_loader"
var my_xml = load_xml(xml_file);
// trace out the contents of "my_xml"
trace("my_xml = " + my_xml);
}
}
// Contents of photos.xml
Thanks for any help you can give me!

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Add tracking to dynamic text
If you are trying to line up an element on the horizontal, you can come close by using an off-stage dynamic clip, and using some tricks, get the length of the text to the spot you want - and use that, etc. Otherwise for now, you're best using a monospaced font in all its ugliness.

[Flashcoders] Filereference upload on macintosh
Hi, I've been working on an extensive upload component making use of the flash 8 filereference classes. Everything works great on windows ,no problems there but on macintosh I'm experiencing lots of problems. I've tested it for a while and noticed that neither the onProgress or onComplete events are triggered while uploading on a mac. I've read in other threads here on flashcoders that sometimes indeed one of the events doesn't trigger. But in all problem situations I've read about ,there only seems to be 1 broken event not 2. I could easily make a quick fix if either the onComplete or onProgress event work but with only the onOpen event triggering there's not much I can do. Things i've tried: - simplifying my code to a very basic version : make an listenerObject, define the events , assign the listenerObject to the filereference object, browse, upload (basicly textbook version) - server side uploading with a coldfusion cfm page containing only this. The normal method I am using that works like a charm on windows. connectionstring being = http://.../upload.cfm?dir= - server side uploading with a coldfusion service file, cfc. Tried this because somebody fixed the onComplete event by making sure the uploadscript returned something. connectionstring being = http://../upload.cfc?method=doUpload&dir =... I am testing everything on mac os X version 10.4.5 , Safari and internet explorer mac edition browser. Anyone who encountered these problems before ,and perhaps found a fix ,that can help me? I'd greatly appriciate it. Thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] FlashDevelop and scope
Just a quicky, I believe this is the way it should do completion. "this" is
always the class, not the flash quirks. Might be different though :)

Subject: [Flashcoders] FlashDevelop and scope
A quick example class
class MyClass{
var socket:XMLSocket;
function parse(data:String):Void{
}
function MyClass(){
socket = new XMLSocket();
//interesting bit
socket["creator"]=this;
socket.onData = function(data){
this.creator.parse(data);
}
}
}
I know this isn't the best way to do it (hello delegate), but still.
One of the big things in FlashDevelop for me is the dynamic code completion,
and when i type "this." in the onData handler, it gives me a list of methods
for MyClass, when it should give me methods for socket.
Or am i wrong? The scope of handlers confuses me.
