Re: [Flashcoders] Doh! Converting a floating point string to numberloses precision
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. Ron JesterXL wrote: Late in the thread, and suck at math, but there was discussion about this on Flexcoders too.

Converting a floating point string to numberloses precision 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.

Re: [FlashCoders] textfield swapDepths
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.

It makes messing with depths like this really simple. Tyler 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? context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=3458.html Also, see this chattyfig thread... http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/ pipermail/flashcoders/2004-May/111796.html More info on managers from macromedia... http://www.macromedia.com/ devnet/flash/articles/component_architecture_06.html Hope this helps..

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Web Browser Component
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. =) Regards Johannes http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=endep=/Mn4k.search=have http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=endep=/Mn4k.search=not http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=endep=/Mn4k.search=the http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=endep=/Mn4k.search=faintest http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=endep=/Mn4k.search=ideaJesterXL schrieb: Yeah, Zinc lets you embed an IE ActiveX control; it basically positions it over top of your Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] overlay swf over swf
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. jd -- John Dowdell .

[Flashcoders] proximity to a stage center scaling
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); } ___ 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

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Problems with Tween class
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 changed, time=0.259 prevPos=-266.71528 changed, time=0.311 prevPos=-241.57738 changed, time=0.362 prevPos=-211.34458 changed, time=0.414 prevPos=-176.33512 changed, time=0.465 prevPos=-135.17608 changed, time=0.517 prevPos=-89.4505 changed, time=0.567 prevPos=-37.95478 changed, time=0.619 prevPos=8.761218 changed, time=0.671 prevPos=51.93578 changed, time=0.722 prevPos=89.59418 changed, time=0.773 prevPos=121.17032 changed, time=0.824 prevPos=147.44042 changed, time=0.876 prevPos=168.40448 changed, time=0.928 prevPos=184.31648 changed, time=0.989 prevPos=194.71232 changed, time=1 prevPos=199.87658 finished moving lance Helen -- http://flash-creations.com http://i-technica.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi having some difficulty getting the handlers working with the built-in Tween class also, does the Tween class actually exist in more than one place? //CODE START import mx.effects.*; import mx.transitions.easing.*; function myTweenFunc(){ myMC.onTweenUpdate = function(value) { this._x = value; } var tw = new Tween(myMC,-310, 20, 500,false); tw.easingEquation = Regular.easeInOut; tw.FPS=61; //the following handler doesn't work tw.onMotionFinished=function(){ trace('finished moving lance'); } } myTweenFunc(); //CODE END Any suggestions?

[Flashcoders] RE: getDepth: highest depth, middle depth, lowest depth
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 reshuffling them accordingly. if original state is... 1 2 3 ...onEvent... 2 3 1 ...then another Event... 3 1 2 ...and so on.

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.

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

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Doh! Converting a floating pointstringtonumberloses precision
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 Danny ___ 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
