RE: [Flashcoders] vector to jpeg or png, php

2006-03-08 Thread Pete Hotchkiss
Your not going to get anywhere with the Bitmap data object if your
resolutions need to be that big. The sheer size of the data will be so
big it will bring the flash player to it's knees.

However if you want to try it there is some good stuff here.

http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/print_screen/page002.php

You best bet is to look into the GD library

http://uk.php.net/gd

I've used this in the past to generate JPEG's from swf data

I searched the list archives for a good solution for generating a jpeg 
or png using php. nothing found. I know i've seen some articles on this 
here and there but can't remember where exactly.

does anyone have any good links for this? Flash 8 preferred because of 
bitmap api. Also note the DPI and res need to be huge ( 2300 X 3500, 
200DPI )

thanks in advance

[Flashcoders] overlay swf over swf

2006-03-08 Thread Christian Giordano
Since the browsers render swfs in a top layer over the html, and the 
last swf updated is the one on top, the style z-index attribute is not 
enough to overlay a swf over another. Does anyone know if it is 
possible, and maybe how? Googling around I just found swf over html (so 
using z-index).

Re: [Flashcoders] Doh! Converting a floating point string to numberloses precision

2006-03-08 Thread Ron Wheeler
You could also implement a decimalNumber Class that does its arithmetic 
in decimal.
You need to carry guard digits through calculations to ensure that 
rounding is done properly.
You can make the numbers as large as you want with whatever precision 
you want.


That was one of the winning technology bits that IBM had in the 1960s 
and on. Their mainframe processors (1400,360,370 series) actually 
supported decimal number format with arithmetic operations that made 
financial applications easier to deal with and made the COBOL decimal 
structures work well. This is one of the ways that they dominated the 
financial world.

I am aware of this issue in precision loss in floating point computation. 
But here we are talking about converting a number from string back to 
number.


Why is it so hard to implement this correctly in the VM to ensure that the 
string  when converted back to number is representated exactly the same as 
the number version?


Out of curiosity I implemented this piece of logic in C++ and the resulting 
floating point number represented in string is exactly the same after the 
conversion.


Looks like there is a bug in the string to number conversion.

The way you deal with it will depend on what you want to do.

If you want to see is something is close enough to zero you subtract
them and check the difference

if (Math.abs(i - 952.86)=0.1){trace(close enough for me)}else
{trace(Not the same)};

if (Math.abs(i - 952.86)=0.01){trace(Really close )}else
{trace(Not yet the same)};

If you use enough leading zeros you will get code that never evaluates
to true so do not get wild with leading zeros.

As long as you remember that numbers that are not explicitly cast as
integers have to be treated with care, you will be alright.

This problem has been around the computer world for the last 50 years
and will be around for some time to come, so we have to just deal with it.

Beware that one of the methods (GET or POST) has a server dependent 
limit on the size of message that can be sent. It is very small usually. 
(2000 character range)
Flash supports both methods except when you are testing. Then it only 
supports the wrong one.
Read getURL docs for more information. Read them very carefully, 
including the fine print.

Re: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths

2006-03-08 Thread Tyler Wright
I have a DepthManager that will take care of this. It adds the .swapDepths()
method to TextField and Button. More specifically, it replaces the
MovieClip.removeMovie() and TextField.removeTextField() methods so that they
work at whatever depth.

The DepthManager is self-instantiating, but you have to refer to is
somewhere in your code or Flash won't include it when you publish. So
instead of just doing an import (which doesn't force the class to be
included) you can refer to it directly: var dmClass =
xt.core.managers.DepthManager;

These methods aren't dirty, they're just necessary to overcome some of
Flash's shortcommings.
See http://codext.com/code/6

Far as I know, number accuracy in Flash is +/- 1e16 and no better. I 
believe that's 32-bit precision.

Not in Flash. Flash is limited in it's numeric accuracy, either with 
decimal or integers.

Back in the 60s maybe. There wasn't anything else at the time that 
could do it.


Now, it's not really an issue as numeric accuracy is fairly easy to 
deal with and there are many different ways to do it in a variety of 
languages. Flash just isn't suited for it.

 On 3/2/06, Scott Pobiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 
  Karthik, Ramon, and all...
 
  When doing complex z-sorting ESPECIALLY when using V2 components, you
  should use the DepthManager class.  it makes life much easier.
  Essentially the DepthManager provides you with functionality for
  rearranging depths without explicitly stating the depth numbers...
  HOW you ask?!  Well it just so happens that DepthManager comes
  complete with a nifty, handy, dandy set of constants (i.e.
  DepthManager.kTop)  These constants place your chosen MC on a single
  level and consequently shifts all of the prior classes (up or down
  depending on the constant used).  BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!  You also get
  free sorting algorithms for moving groups of MC's and components
  ABSOLUTELY FREE!
 
  The thing to keep in mind is that you can't use traditional
  attachMovie calls to move things to the stage dynamically, nor can
  you use items already on the stage with DepthManager.  The reason is
  because the DepthManager needs to know what it is sorting at loadtime.
 
  Here is a snippet example from one of my apps...
 
 
  /**CODE HERE**/
  import mx.managers.DepthManager;
  /*clipped for brevity*/
  // Create a container movie clip.
  _tools_mc = target.createChildAtDepth(_tools_mc,
  DepthManager.kTop);
  //
  //create a name label for this users screen
 
  _name_lbl = target.createClassChildAtDepth(Label,
  DepthManager.kBottom, {styleName:myStyle, color:0xDD, fontSize:
  72});
  //_name_lbl = _tools_mc.createClassObject
  (Label,_name_lbl,_tools_mc.getNextHighestDepth(),
  {styleName:myStyle, color:0x33, fontSize:72});
  _name_lbl.autoSize = left;
  _name_lbl.text =  ;
  _name_lbl.move(55,30);
  //
  //create _menuBar to show and hide color _dropDown
  _menuBar = _tools_mc.createClassChildAtDepth(MenuBar,
  DepthManager.kTop);
  _menuBar.setSize(Stage.width,_menuBar.height);
  /**CODE HERE**/
 
  Now to move these guys around all I have to do is call the depth
  modifiers to change things around...
 
  # DepthManager.setDepthAbove()
  # DepthManager.setDepthBelow()
  # DepthManager.setDepthTo()
 
  see the documentation for more info... http://livedocs.macromedia.com/
  flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?

Jesse,
So would you suggest a function in my windowswf that calls say a
setDebugValues(); method in my actuall swf to set those values?

 Is it possible to have a windowSWF file place a variable somewhere in the
 scope of running movie whenever that panel is open?  What I am trying to
 do
 is create a debugging panel that will feed some dummy data into the swfs
 being tested in the authoring environment.

Thanks guys- I use xray and That would be okay for me - but what I'm working
on is part of a customized solution in a panel embedded in flash so I guess
it's essentially trying to reinvent the wheel.

[Flashcoders] Flash Web Browser Component

Does anyone know of a Flash component that allows you to call up a URL and
display a Web page? Standard components don't have that capability, it

You can put the swf version in the windowSWF and load it as a panel.
However, I've noticed that after a while, it seems to have some issues and I
haven't fully tested it - so at your own risk ;)

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Web Browser Component

2006-03-08 Thread Johannes Boyne
But do you really want ActiveX in your Flash?! I think, it isn't in a 
SandBox like Flash or Java, so it is dangerous, right? And there, from 
my point of view, is the rub.

And maybe some users don't like this security hole.
And then they ask: Hey man why I must use ActiveX...? And that is a 
legitimate question.


But JesterXL is right, Zinc lets you embed this control, and if you ask 
me 80% of the usere have not the faintest idea what a SandBox is. ;-)

So I would do it like JesterXL has said it. =)

Re: [Flashcoders] overlay swf over swf

2006-03-08 Thread John Dowdell

Christian Giordano wrote:
Since the browsers render swfs in a top layer over the html, and the 
last swf updated is the one on top, the style z-index attribute is not 
enough to overlay a swf over another. Does anyone know if it is 
possible, and maybe how? Googling around I just found swf over html (so 
using z-index).


If the browser supports WMODE drawing, then it should be able to 
composite these two SWFs together according to CSS depth. (Usually 
plugins draw direct-to-screen for performance reasons, but some browsers 
let them route their pixels into the area of memory where the browser 
constructs its display, before blasting that offscreen buffer to the 
monitor, and this is triggered by the (mercifully) single WMODE value.)


The which browsers support wmode? issue is a hard one... every now and 
then a Macromedia document is rewritten describing what we've seen among 
various current browser brands, platforms and versions, along with 
varied authoring features (in DIV, with printing, etc), but I know of no 
updated third-party reference on the subject... seems like a good 
opensource/wiki type of project.

I'd like to see a little more advance notice as well, but if I

[Flashcoders] proximity to a stage center scaling

2006-03-08 Thread eric dolecki
This should be pretty straightforward math, but I'm missing something.

Desired effect:
===
I have a movieclip, and using XML, I am populating that movieclip with
little dots... each representing an item - afterwards the main clip is
centered on the stage.

Now, run a function to check proximity to the stage center, the closest (2
if uneven # items) is scaled to 200%. Trailing away from the center on both
sides, the clips diminish in scale until a minimum of 50% scaling.

Once that is done, when the main movieclip is moved, I need to update the
dots inside it, maintaining the scaling nearest the Stage center. The dot
movieclips are 18.5 x 18.5 in size... thats where the 37 comes from (
18.5x200%).

I don't want to use onEnterFrame for this. Its been a long day and I'm
looking for the most straight-forward way to adjust the dot clips in
relation to the stage center...  but my mind is mush for the day. It seems
like it wouln't be that hard, but... for now it is.

Any suggestions/help appreciated!

The code to initially place the scaling (thanks to owid's help) is like
this:

// This parses XML  generates the UI
function createMenu( oXml ):Void {
 var posX:Number = 0;
 this.createEmptyMovieClip(musicItems, this.getNextHighestDepth() );
 musicItems._y = Stage.height/2;

 var nLen:Number = oXml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes.length;
 nItems = nLen;
 var even = !(nItems%2);
 var middle = nItems/2;
 if (!even) middle = Math.round(middle);
 for( var i=1; inLen+1; i++ ){
  var mc = musicItems.attachMovie( dot, dot_+i, i );
  mc._x = posX;
  mc.indx = i;
  mc.num_txt.text = i;
  var cent = i-middle;
  if ( cent  0  even ) cent--;
  cent = Math.abs(Math.abs(cent)-middle);
  cent = (cent-1)/(middle-1)*150
mc.scale = 50 + cent;
posX += 37;
 }
 musicItems._x = ( Stage.width - musicItems._width + 18.5) / 2;
 checkScales();
}

// Initial proper scaling
function checkScales():Void {
 for( var i=1; inItems+1; i++ ){
  var mc = musicItems[dot_+i];
  mc._xscale = mc._yscale = mc.scale;
 }
}

// THIS NEEDS CODED:
function adjustScales( nNum:Number ):Void {
for( var i=1; inItems+1; i++ ){
 // Adjust the scalings on the clips
}
}

// Move the main clip around - need to adjust the dots in the main clip...
right.onRelease = function():Void {
musicItems._x += 37;
if( musicItems._x = Stage.width/2)
musicItems._x = Stage.width/2;
adjustScales(1);
}

left.onRelease = function():Void {
musicItems._x -= 37;
if ((Stage.width/2)-musicItems._width = musicItems._x  )
musicItems._x = (Stage.width/2)-musicItems._width;
adjustScales(0);
}

Re: [Flashcoders] targeting specific content in HTML file

If different pieces of the file go to different text boxes, then it sounds
like a job for xml. If you want to parse the html file and distribute it,
then you'd have to write a parser to do it for you. A specific answer would
require more details on what you want to do.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Problems with Tween class

2006-03-08 Thread Helen Triolo
Yes, there are apparently multiple Tween classes in Flash 8 (and maybe 
MX 2004 -- I didn't check that).  The one I've most often seen used is  
mx.transitions.Tween, not the one in mx.effects that you imported.  Here 
is an example of your code (except I used 21 fps instead of 61 so I 
wouldn't have to paste 60 lines of output) used with that class.  
onMotionFinished does report when it's done, and there's also a 
onMotionChanged that apparently reports once per frame.  Here is the 
frame-based code and output:


import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

function myTweenFunc(){
   var tw:Tween = new Tween(myMC,_x, Regular.easeInOut, -310, 20, 10, 
false);

   tw.FPS = 21;
   tw.onMotionFinished=function(){
   trace('finished moving lance');
   }
  
  // the time property appears to actually be frame count for 
frame-based tweens

   tw.onMotionChanged = function() {
   trace('changed, time='+this.time+' prevPos='+this.prevPos);
   }
}
myTweenFunc();

changed, time=1 prevPos=-310
changed, time=2 prevPos=-303.4
changed, time=3 prevPos=-283.6
changed, time=4 prevPos=-250.6
changed, time=5 prevPos=-204.4
changed, time=6 prevPos=-145
changed, time=7 prevPos=-85.6
changed, time=8 prevPos=-39.4
changed, time=9 prevPos=-6.38
changed, time=10 prevPos=13.4
finished moving lance

and this is the change to the tween line and output for a time-based 
tween (tween dur=1 second, 20 fps movie)


   var tw:Tween = new Tween(myMC,_x, Regular.easeInOut, -310, 20, 1, 
true);


changed, time=0.055 prevPos=-310
changed, time=0.109 prevPos=-306.9145
changed, time=0.158 prevPos=-297.88138
changed, time=0.206 prevPos=-284.53672

[Flashcoders] RE: getDepth: highest depth, middle depth, lowest depth

2006-03-08 Thread Scott Pobiner

Hey Mel,

Take a look at the DepthManager.  You can use it for exactly what you  
are trying to do.  The catch is that you have to instantiate the  
MovieClips  you want to use via actionscript with the DepthManager  
functions.  Remember to do this because the DepthManager needs to  
keep track of all elements you want to sort.  Then all you have to do  
is use the constants DepthManage.kTop, DepthManage.kBottom, etc.  The  
manager sorts its children instances using these constants by putting  
each call to kTop in depth 201 and then moving the rest down  
sequentially (actually vice versa).


Hope this helps,

_S



Hello,

I have another question for the group:

I was using this...

for (var i in this) {
if (typeof (this[i]) == movieclip) {
trace(movie clip '+this[i]._name+' is at depth
+this[i].getDepth()*-1);
}
}

...to discover the depth of the movieclips I have on the stage.

Then I wrote this...

postcard_amt = [1, 2, 3];
for (i=0; ipostcard_amt.length; i++) {
postcard_itm = postcard+i+_mc;
_root[postcard_itm].onPress = function(){
trace(this.getDepth());
}
}

...to specifially single out the _mc's I wanted.
Not sure if that is the best way to write it, but that's not my  
question

(althought I am open to more efficient ways).

/*

My question:
What is the best approach to finding the highest depth, the middle  
depth and

the lowest depth?

*/

Backstory:
Ideally, what I will be doing is swapDepths() with these _mc's and

Far as I know, number accuracy in Flash is +/- 1e16 and no better. I

Not in Flash. Flash is limited in it's numeric accuracy, either with 
decimal or integers.
Of course you can. Flash is not limited in any practical sense in the 
amount of data that a Class can carry or the complexity of the methods 
that you can write.


That was one of the winning technology bits that IBM had in the 1960s 
and on. Their mainframe processors (1400,360,370 series) actually 
supported decimal number format with arithmetic operations that made 
financial applications easier to deal with and made the COBOL decimal 
structures work well. This is one of the ways that they dominated the 
financial world.


Back in the 60s maybe. There wasn't anything else at the time that 
could do it.
I am not sure if anyone else has this even today. IBM still has a pretty 
big chunk of the mainframe and enterprise server market. They pretty 
much destroyed their competition with that line of products.


Now, it's not really an issue as numeric accuracy is fairly easy to 
deal with and there are many different ways to do it in a variety of 
languages. Flash just isn't suited for it.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: getDepth: highest depth, middle depth, lowest depth

2006-03-08 Thread judah
I've found very little info on the DepthManager class. afaik, you need 
to increment the kTop property when you use it:


var new_mc = myMovie.createObject(__rowRenderer, new_mc, 
DepthManager.kTop++, {owner:this, styleName:this});


At the same time I find it useful to get the next highest depth of the 
movieclip I want to be over. This next statement adds the movieclip to 
myMovie at myMovies's next highest depth. So if myMovie has one other 
object on it at depth 1 then myMovie.getNextHighestDepth() returns 2.
var new_mc = myMovie.createObject(__rowRenderer, new_mc, 
myMovie.getNextHighestDepth(), {owner:this, styleName:this});


I've had problems using _root.getNextHighestDepth() in a class. It stops 
at a certain number and any new movieclips replace the movie that is at 
the same depth.


if createObject is not available (for use mostly with components) use 
attachMovie in it's place...

 Subject: [Flashcoders] image blurred edges


 In Flash 8, Im using loadMovie to load jpg's dynamically but all
 images are blurred around the edges like a low quality jpeg. in my
 publish settings i've set jpg quality to 100 but no luck.

 what's causing this and how i can fix this?

 thanks in advance.

If its going to be string anyway why bother with binary system, why dont
make it decimal natively?


Because binary calculations are much quicker and more mechanical.

On the subject of which, another method is to make use of an array of larger 
integers, and use bit-shifting/adding operations, which are likely to be 
faster (not that I've tested them). I don't know what is done in 'proper' 
BigInt classes, but I'd imagine it's something like that.


For example, to multiply such an array by 3, you'd shift the entire array 
left by one place and add it to itself, something like this:


0010,1100, * 3 = 0101,1001,1110 + 0010,1100, = 0111, 10101, 11101

And finally you'd carry the extra bits across to make a new array with the 
same bit size:


... = 1110, 0110, 1101
