Re: [Flashcoders] The almighty duplicateMovieClip?
Well, no, to the first statement. There IS an answer, and the answer is...
That is correct; that cannot be done. Duplicates are always generated in
the same timeline as the original from which the duplicate is made.
To assign a movieclip to a specific timeline, use attachMovie() attaching
a library object movieclip to which you have applied a linkage.

Re: [Flashcoders] preloader issue
Not sure if anyone has responded yet -- my thread sorting is all screwed up.
You cannot delete or terminate an onClipEvent(enterFrame) unless you
delete the movieclp to which you have applied it, either by terminating
it's existence on the timeline with an empty keyframe, or by swapping it
to a "dynamic" depth (zero or above) and using removeMovieClip().
An onClipEvent(enterFrame) is not synonymous with an onEnterFrame() function.

[Flashcoders] ActionStep, help compiling examples.
i'm having some troubles compiling the examples in 'test/src' I downloaded alpha 1 from actionstep site. I then followed the quickstart guide on OSFlash. I had everything already. except the ruby debugger.. but i'm not worrying about that until I can at least get these examples and something on my own working. The problem i'm having is just trying to figure out what all needs to be compiled an how to do it all with mtasc. I looked at the build.bat and buildExample.bat files. Those are simple mtasc commands and the output swf works. I tried just doing an mtasc command on 'calcSample'. it spits out a swf but the only thing the swf has is a text field that says 'loading...' i'm missing something somewhere here is the mtasc command i'm trying for the calc example: mtasc -header 600:500:31 -version 8 -main -strict -trace org.actionstep.ASDebugger.debugPaneITrace -swf calc.swf -cp "src" -cp "test\src" calcSample\Main I can't figure out what i'm missing.. calc.asml?

I think i'm supposed to.. sorry about the newbie question, i'm just new to actionstep any help or other tutorials would be sweet.. ..not sure if neccessary.. but I do have ANT. the OSFlash stuff was using ANT.. but everything so far is just basic mtasc commands.. i'm just trying to get something working first before I use ANT. ___ 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] XPath problems with single character value nodes
I encountered exactly the same issue on the project I'm currently working
on. I got around the problem by using XPath.selectNodes rather than
XPath.selectNodesAsString.
Then I just used something like (continuing from your example):
e = String( e.firstChild.nodeValue );
Not ideal but it got the job done!

RE: [Flashcoders] ActionStep, help compiling examples.
Actually, I'm going to give a quick answer here (but you should join our list): The calculator sample needs you to have the ActionStepLib swf compiled, as well as calculator.asml in the test subdirectory. So for the pathing to be correct, here's how it needs to look: Calculator.swf <- (This could be named anything) ActionStepLib.swf test/calculator.asml But I imagine you just want to get this thing up and running, am I right? You should use this build script: mtasc -cp "src" -cp "test/src" -swf ActionStep.swf -header 800:600:20 -version 8 -trace org.actionstep.ASDebugger.debugPanelTrace -pack org/actionstep -pack org/actionstep/constants -pack org/actionstep/images org/actionstep/test/ASTestMain -main To change the output of this test, open up org.actionstep.test.ASTestMain (in the test/src classpath), and change line 21 to point to another test class. There's tons of stuff in there, so it should keep you busy for awhile. By the way.

[Flashcoders] Help with Flash Environment / Processes
Hello flashers, I am looking to setup a development environment for a few flash developers and need some assistance. 1. What is a good app to use as a supplement to Flash 8 for action script debugging? Simply using trace is quite cumbersome compared to other programming IDE's. And the Flash 8 debugger is not all that it promises to be at best. 2. Is there a build tool I can use to setup a centralized, automated build process? Java has JAnt, .NET has NAnt, etc. Is there one for Flash? Per the e-mail below it looks like there is.

Re: [Flashcoders] XPath problems with single character value nodes
I've done some investigation on nthis issue and found this... If you modify your path like this (note the /text() at the end) you should get the value correctly... var e = XPath.selectNodesAsString (this,"/weather/dayf/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'4']/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'d']/icon/text()"); Interestingly, if you try this it won't work... var e = XPath.selectNodesAsNumber (this,"/weather/dayf/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'4']/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'d']/icon/number()"); ...but this does... var e = XPath.selectNodesAsNumber (this,"/weather/dayf/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'4']/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'d']/icon/text()"); This final example actually returns a Number (not a String as the first example does) which is what I guess you'd want to get from the element but seems to do it the wrong way (using text() )! I'm going to report this info to Xfactor Studio. Hope this is helpful. A.

[Flashcoders] Loading several images with one progressbar?
Hi, this is probably an old hat but I can't get it right. I want to display the load progress of several images with one progress bar. How do I calculate the percentage of the bar?

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading several images with one progressbar?
Say you have 3 images loading, use something like this: var bytesLoaded:Number = 0; var bytesTotal:Number = 0; bytesLoaded += image1.getBytesLoaded(); bytesTotal += image1.getBytesTotal(); bytesLoaded += image2.getBytesLoaded(); bytesTotal += image2.getBytesTotal(); bytesLoaded += image3.getBytesLoaded(); bytesTotal += image3.getBytesTotal(); var percentageLoaded:Number = (bytesLoaded/bytesTotal) * 100; There may be ways to optimise this code depending on your circumstances (e.g. just calculate bytesTotal once and reuse it) but this shows the basic idea.

Re: [Flashcoders] advanced flash AS 2.0/3.0 book?
Thanks for the reply, Karthik. I checked the archives and came up with 136 prior messages in relation to "advanced books" but none that were current, as in the last year or so. I noticed someone else just posted in relation to a book recommendation and got some good responses, so it would be great if someone would have some information on an advanced book.

Re: [Flashcoders] best flash actionscript book/reference
I second the recommendation to the Safari bookshelf service to get these. So far it has paid itself back multiple times. I pretty much keep Moock's Actionscript for Flash MX there constantly (although this one book takes up 2 of my 10 slots) for quick reference. So far the most useful bit is being able to do a search for exactly what you need, and it lets you know where in your books you can find it, as well as other books not yet in your library.

The author doesn't just show you the methods and properties availabel to a component, like the other book that is just a reprint of the help docs, he goes into the flash component architcture itself to give you a better understanding of how things are working, and whats going on behind the scenes. He goes into this thing about XLEFF (XML Layout engine for Flash) for a little bit, but I just kinda glossed over that so far, since im not really interested, i just want to undersatnd the components betterbut skipping over all that stuff doesnt affect understanding anything else in the book.

[Flashcoders] Some Computers Won't Stream MP3 in Flash/I.E.
This is a follow-up on a previous post. I'm still having the problem,
but now have more details. Really need help with this, so please read
the following and let me know if you have ideas or solutions.
Problem in brief:
Where Flash uses a sound object to load and stream an MP3 file, no
sound is heard on a small percentage of Windows computers using I.E.
and Flash Player 8.
Problem and troubleshooting in-depth:
I have tested this in a more complex and also in a simpler Flash
movie with indentical results. The complex version (which uses MP3's
in a separate directory from the .swf, and constructs their URLs
dynamically) is at:
http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/birdGame.
If you test this and want to send a report, please include 1) whether
you heard sound; 2) version and sub-version of I.E.; 3) OS, including
sub-version, service packs, etc.; 4) Flash Player version and
sub-version (requires Player 7 or above).
In the simpler version, Flash uses a Sound object to download and
stream an MP3 file that is located in the same directory as the .swf
and html file whenever a button is pressed:
_global.narration = new Sound();
btn.onRelease = function() {
narration.loadSound("americanRobin.mp3", true);
};
On Windows using Netscape and Firefox, and on Mac using Safari, the
movie plays the sound fine on all tested platforms and computers.
In Windows using I.E. 6, the movie works locally on all computers
tested. Played from the internet, it works for most computers (about
a dozen tested). But for two of my computers, it fails to work over
the web. Note that the MP3's always end up in I.E.'s cache, so it's
not an issue of I.E. not finding the files, but of Flash never
playing them. Also, I can play the MP3's directly from I.E.
The two computers where this thing breaks are a Dell Inspiron laptop
and a custom desktop. Looking at versions of I.E. for all tests, I
note that the desktop that fails to play has the same I.E.
sub-version as a colleague's computer that works fine, so I would
rule out that the sub-version of I.E. is causing the problem (at
least not in and of itself). Also, all three of my computers are
running Windows XP Pro, but one (the one that works) has no service
packs and the two that don't work have SP1 and SP2 respectively. I am
assuming that among those colleagues who have tested this for me, at
least some must have the later service packs, so I would rule out
that SP1 or SP2 are causing the problem.
When Flash in I.E. fails to play via an internet connection, it is
still observed that I.E. loads the MP3 files into cache. Furthermore,
if I type the URLs of the MP3s directly into I.E., they are located
and are played via Windows Media Player. Thus I can rule out that
I.E. is not loading the MP3 file at Flash's command.
I have swapped network cables between the desktop that works and the
desktop that doesn't work, and the computer that doesn't work still
fails. So I can rule out something in my network connection.
I have tried using a listener in Flash to determine when the MP3 has
loaded, and to play it only after it has loaded. This does not fix
the problem. I've also tried setting the streaming parameter to
"false" instead of "true," and it makes no difference. Nor does
listening for onLoad, and then starting the sound, help.
I have moved the Flash movie to a different web server. This does not
fix the problem. So I can almost certainly rule out some peculiarity
of my web server.
And that's it! Any thoughts?

[Flashcoders] storing embedded font data in local shared objects(LSOs)?
Hi all, Can anyone tell me if there's a manageable way to embed font data in an LSO (Flash local shared object) such that it can be stored on the user's machine and used by a movie? Or, perhaps someone can propose an alternate scheme so that embedded font data can be externalized and cached on the user's machine so that it doesn't need to be re-sent with every visit? I'm noticing that F8 embedded fonts are quite a bit more "heavy" than their F7 counterparts, and I'm trying to come up with ways to shave down the download. The other thing that would be very helpful to know is how to embed a subset of a font instance just once in the library, and have my movie draw from this common "pool" of font information. In reviewing my F8 size report, I notice that Flash is embedding the same characters of my Myriad Pro in the same font weight multiple times. This sucks up bandwidth unnecessarily. Thanks in advance for any pointers. -KF ___ 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] Send to friend....Doesn't make sense.
I'm not going to check your email verification but you could do somethign
like this for loadvars rather than using loadvariables. Also have your php
write back a response so that flash knows whether it worked or not.
Some tidbits of advice - your submit mail button should call a validation
process - it shouldn't hold it in the scope of its onRelease handler -
that might introduce a scoping problem. So create a function that is like
validateEmail(emailString), and have your button call it.
submit_mail_btn.onRelease=Delegate.create(this,validateEmail).
Delegate in Flash 7 and up is your friend. It fies the scope madness.
Also, test your validation bit outside of the onRelease and determine
where its failing.
import mx.utils.Delegate;
lv:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
var validEmail=isEmail(email_txt.text);
lv.vemail=vemail;
lv.onLoad=Delegate.create(this,onEmailResponse);
lv.sendAndLoad("../mailinglist.php",lv,"GET")
function onEmailResponse(success){
if(p_success){
email.text = "THANK YOU!";
}else{
email.text = "Problem Dude!";
}
}
function isEmail(str:String):Boolean{
// do your email validation here and return true or false
// By creating a function, you can use it again and again -
// so your submit buttons should call a validation process, not
// hold the validation process in the scope of its onRelease.
return(valid)
}

[Flashcoders] Help with shared library fonts
*I am using Flash8*
Is there a way to keep fonts in an external movie and load them
dynamically into a movie when needed?
The flash movie I am currently working on is a text editor that is all
generated dynamically. A text box is generated on the main movie like
this:
this.createTextField("message_txt", 200, 10, 10, 560, 200);
message_txt.embedFonts = true;
The main text box is styled using TextFormat.
var messageformat:TextFormat;
meassageformat = new TextFormat();
messageformat.size = 20;
messageformat.font = "hightower_font";
I have a button that calls in an external SWF that contains a list of
different fonts for the text box. The fonts are embedded in the movie
and exported for action script and runtime sharing. They change the
font like this:
this.aucion_mc.onRelease = function () {
messageformat = new TextFormat();
messageformat.font = "aucion_font";
_root.message_txt.setTextFormat(messageformat);
}
The fonts show up in the external SWF as it is loaded into the main
movie but when one of the bottons is presssed, the text in the text
box disappears.
If I embed the fonts in the main movie, I have no problems.
Everything works fine. But that defeats the purpose of having the
fonts exist externally. I only want them to load if the user wants to
change fonts.
