[Flashcoders] Zinc, NSIS, how to uninstall created folders
Hello, i'm developping applications with Zinc, and making install packages with Nullsoft scriptable install system, how to remove dynamicaly created folders? Folders that are created by the application, with names made up of user codes, so unpredictable for the nsis script? RMDir $INSTDIR\_data\savedData\*.* or RMDir $INSTDIR\_data\savedData\* dosn't help (the folders are under saveData) thanks much cheers Martin ___ 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] AS equation trouble making my own scrollbar
Hello,
I think the trouble is that the _root.slider._x of your slider
represent the center of your slider mc.
Check the way you limit the slider movement.
If you mask have a width of 200, and your slider of 50, then the value
of _root.slider._x vary from 25 to 175, not 0 to 200.

Hi list, in my poor english i will try to explain my need
I made a scroll MC behind a mask, which is controlled horizontally by
another MC (such as scrollbar) it works but not so fine, because the
scrolling MC don't fit with de slider MC
you can see it at
http://www.e-foco.com.ar/prestigio/sucursales.php by clicking on Nuevas suc.
Actually I have:
scrollSize = big MC width
maskSize = mask width
sliderSize = slider width = maskSize/scrollSize*100;
for the movements are defined by:
function updateScroll() {
var ratio = (scrollSize/maskSize *sliderSize /100);
_root.sucContainer._x = -_root.slider._x*ratio;
}
The issue is that when the slider reach it's right limit, the
bigMC(sucContainer) still have a portion to show. I understand that my
equation is not working fairly accurately but I couldn't see my error.
Any idea will be appreciated
Thanks a lot

Re: [Flashcoders] draws and regions
to check if a point is in a region or outside : - take a point that is outside your region (a very far one for exemple) , let's call it pointA - check if the line from your point to pointA cross each line of your region. if the number a line crossed is odd, your point is out of the region, if it's even , your point is in the region.

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiuser A/V Chat Server ? Something .net ?
Thank you list, My Problem I have checked UserPlane and red5, but ultimately I would need a dotnet based server, preferrably .net I hope. There are a few servers out there, however, they are java-based. Unfortunately and to my grief, my company is a MS partner.

Re: [Flashcoders] Beware of depth 9876
That is right, and you could add that he problem will disappear in AS3 with the new depth managing system. I still think it might be good to know that a Component Class occupies and erases clips in a specific depth in root. Thanks anyway /Eskil Michael Bedar skrev: In general it is a good idea not to work on the root level for anything making movieclips... much better to create a container clip first on root and play in that. On Mar 24, 2006, at 2:53 PM, Eskil Janson wrote: I suppose this has been discussed a few times already, but if not: When you use the Tween class, an Instance of the Class mx.transitions.OnEnterFrameBeacon is created if not already existing. In that Class the following line is executed: var mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip (__OnEnterFrameBeacon, 9876); which means that if you have anything at that depth (9876) already, it will disappear. You can confirm this by a simple test like pasting the following code in the first frame of your movie: (change the depth to 9875 or 9877 and see the difference..) --- import mx.transitions.Tween; this.createEmptyMovieClip(square_mc, 9876); square_mc.beginFill(0xFF); square_mc.moveTo(10, 10); square_mc.lineTo(100, 10); square_mc.lineTo(100, 100); square_mc.lineTo(10, 100); square_mc.lineTo(10, 10); square_mc.endFill(); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(square_mc, _x, mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut, 0, 300, 3, true); So if you are in a large dynamic project swapping depths a lot and using Tweens, and been experiencing strange problems, this may be worth to know...

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 2 - suitable for designers?
I'd go for AS2. Mostly because that OOP flavour is the direction that almost all the commonly-used languages are heading in; the whole idea of objects and methods now pretty much applies to: - Javascript - Java - C++ - C# - Coding using XML - AS2 - Lingo - .NET - PHP And will apply to the XML scripting for Vista and almost certainly many other things out there. There's been a sort of convergent evolution thing going on for the last few years. Granted, OOP is not _required_ in some of those languages, but their code libraries are all evolving that way and each new release of the language seems to be firming up their OOP model. If you can get at least one OOP language under your belt it'll get you halfway towards learning any of those other languages - it's gaining the 'how it works' mental model that can apply to most high-level modern programming or scripting. So go for AS2.

I'm unsure as to what path I'm supposed to be on. Any advice you could give me would be appreciated, Ok, here's my 'designer who codes' or 'coder who designs' (jack of all trades, master of none) point of view: AS2 is the right way to go. However, knowing when to apply each different approach (doing everything on classes, doing everything inside the flash movie, and all between) is the real issue. If I want to create something quick, I usually create a movieclip with the functionality I desire. It kind of mimics a class, or a component, but it's neither; it's just a movieclip where I can quickly change something on the code or on the graphics. Like a smartclip (heh). It's on this case that some of the best OOP features (such as design patterns) also comes to help. I treat like movieclip as a 'black box' (like a class..) so they do some minimum talk to each other, trying to be standalone on what they do. However, under AS2, the 'right' alternative would be create a new class and attach it to the movieclip. But I've grown tired of that approach, since I have to keep creating a lot of classes just to modify the functionality of, say, one menu. And I'm not building apps; I'm building 'designer' websites (see samples at zeh.com.br). This doesn't mean I build them like crap, or that they have 'loosy' requirements when compared to an app; but it means I build them quickly (taking around one month) and intelligently (or at least I like to believe), not over-designing and making sure everything's on a class and properly commented with javadocs and with UML diagrams and whatnot. It also means I almost never reuse code between websites; each new menu is a new menu, because it works in a much different way than the previous menu I built. That's why I can't just create generic classes for everything and extend from there; I'd have way too many classes. I do, however, use classes for all kinds of semi-generic functionality I need; reading XMLs, tweening, localization, trigonometry - it's all done on classes. When it comes down to real-life work, obviously there's no point in reinventing the wheel, so I try to build these generic tools that then I can apply on my work. But that's the limit. The rest is too specific to be reused. I know this approach will be not be seen lightly on the eyes of more purist coders. However, I like to believe my line of work requires a different set of development skills - yes, I do try to make my code and design as maintainable as possible and as easy to understand as possible (ie, full of comments, not using spaghetti code, etc), but breaking eveything into tiny classes just won't work, it'll be too much effort for too little advantages. Like I said, I believe finding the correct balance between the two approaches is the best answer - and there's no easy way to do it, it depends a lot on the kind of work you're trying to do, how long do you want it to live, how maintainable you want it to be, etc. IMO. - 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
RE: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 2 - suitable for designers?
I agree with what's already been said - and just wanted to say that one of the big advantages you may find with AS 2 is the debugging features you get by typecasting, and also the re-usability of classes. Once you really get into it and start creating your own libraries, your efficiency level has a greater chance to gain momentum that if you had stuck with AS1. However, many people, depending on the types of projects they work on, can stick with AS1 and be perfectly happy and productive.

The rest is too specific to be reused. I know this approach will be not be seen lightly on the eyes of more purist coders. However, I like to believe my line of work requires a different set of development skills - yes, I do try to make my code and design as maintainable as possible and as easy to understand as possible (ie, full of comments, not using spaghetti code, etc), but breaking eveything into tiny classes just won't work, it'll be too much effort for too little advantages. Like I said, I believe finding the correct balance between the two approaches is the best answer - and there's no easy way to do it, it depends a lot on the kind of work you're trying to do, how long do you want it to live, how maintainable you want it to be, etc. IMO. - 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 NOTICE: This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged or confidential information.

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 2 - suitable for designers?
I prefer to do most everything in code, but like you the sights I've done aren't RIAs or even close. For that reason I stuck with AS1, until recently. When I look back at the sites and how they were constructed, I'm astounded at how much cleaner my sites would be, how much time, effort, and debugging could have been saved, by using AS2 features. Once you know how to write classes for the things you do often and how to use the classes developed by others, you'll find that even if you don't need the all of the oop features (inheritance, interfaces, polymorphism, etc...), using classes is worth the trip to AS2. On 3/27/06, Kevin Cannon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I hope this isn't off-topic but I've been struggling to find the answer, and this list has been a great help to me over the years. I'm a designer, but often code in Flash. I'm not building huge RIAs, usually just adding small little bits of interactivity to sites, and building some multimedia interfaces and gathering data from XML etc... Nothing hardcore, but a bit more that just tinkering with AS. Up until now I've always used AS1, and though I've bought Colin Moock's AS2 book, it seems like a bit leap to make, and from what I've read it seems like many of the advantages of AS2 are in having proper OO, and more manageable code for large projects. I'm wondering if AS2 offers any advantages to me, or if sticking with AS1 would be better. Is AS2 (and now 3) the natural progression of Flash coding, is there even a future for AS1, all the useful libraries seem to be AS2 only these days too, perhaps that alone is a reason to switch.

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 2 - suitable for designers?
Knowing AS2 well would also make it easier to learn architectural frameworks for Flash applications (ARP and Cairngorn). These allow you to fully experience the benefits of OOP, and you get the added bonus of a developer community around any given framework to answer specific questions.

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 2 - suitable for designers?
I agree with what's already been said - and just wanted to say that one of the big advantages you may find with AS 2 is the debugging features you get by typecasting, and also the re-usability of classes. Once you really get into it and start creating your own libraries, your efficiency level has a greater chance to gain momentum that if you had stuck with AS1. However, many people, depending on the types of projects they work on, can stick with AS1 and be perfectly happy and productive. Oh yes - good point, I forgot that. Having type casting and stronger debugging when compiling is one of the best advantage of AS2 -- it's sad not all of it applies to timeline code (ie, accessing stuff that doesn't exist), even when using AS2. I do use AS2 syntax all the time when writing code for my movieclips inside flash, but mostly because I'm used to it. Coming to think of it, the best approach I could expect of Flash 9+ would be of almost totally killing timeline code, but giving a way of automatically attaching a class to a movieclip without actually having to create any external .AS file and without having to load the class on a given frame and whatnot - like editing inside of a movieclip while you are in fact editing its class, not its timeline code.

For example, a key bit of functionality (for me) broke in a new version. I raised it as an issue - it was acknowledged and assigned a bug id - and reverted to an older version. No announcement of the functionality being fixed was ever made. A couple of months later I downloaded a newer version and, lo and behold, it was fixed, but that fix wasn't mentioned in any release note. And something else was broken. Bit of a quality issue going on there...

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 2 - suitable for designers?
If you are comfortable writing AS1 code on the timeline, switching to AS2 should be painless. On the timeline, the only differences will be case sensitivity and type strictness, both of which can only make your code easier to debug and maintain. Then, if at some point you want to learn how to use classes in AS2, you will at least be familiar with these requirements.

[Flashcoders] creating an exe shell - library items
Hi, I'm trying to create a shell, only purpose is to read in some xml, and then load some swf's based on that. What I'm not getting at all, is if I have (lets say navigation.swf) all ready to go, and I load this into an empty movieclip... why do the library items used in navigation.swf need to be in the shell's library for anything to show up? Navigation.swf runs fine all by itself, so I just can't get over that everything should already be in there and ready to go. I have tried using the 'export for runtime sharing', but all the documentation I'm seeing on this tells me to put in url's where it will be posted. I will be running this off a CD initially... and when it does go on the web, everything is relative to the shell.exe anyway. My last project, I just broke down and copied everything into the main shell's library... but I'd really like to do it this way this time (Just have a shell that has next to nothing in it) Any suggestions where I can start over getting this to work the way I want it, or can I even do this?

[Flashcoders] Cut and paste to textarea from MS Word
I have been working on allowing users to cut and past from word into a textarea.

Here is an example. paste: This isn¹t stuff ³this is neat² but wrong¹ Comes out as: This isn?t the write stuff ?this is neat? ?but nothing? Does anyone have a class for cleaning up the input text?

[Flashcoders] tabIndex within scrollpane component
I'm populating a ScrollPane component w/ a MovieClip that loads many TextInput components. This is done in a for loop. After they are loaded, I assign the tabIndex of each TextInput component. I can trace the value of the tabIndex out, but the tabbing does not work. I have tried scrollPane.tabEnabled = false and scrollPane.tabChildren = true, but this does not work. Does anyone know how I can tab through components that are embedded within a ScrollPane?

Followup- nonvisual movieClip dataRe: [Flashcoders] How soon is movieClip data available ?
I've been toying around with this a bit. if I have nonvisual elements in a component-like an array of content- that can be retrieved immediately by another calling class-is that correct? I'm finding that I can get values out of a component on Stage- in which case I could use that as a flag for being in debug mode.

Re: [Flashcoders] Private Static -static
Your trying to access the properties width and heigh from a static
function getArea. The problem is a static function is designed to
handle class wide properties and width and height are local to each

there anyway.

Sample content appears as such. article title=Testing![CDATA[This is a test.]]/article In what is the article text (the part that says This is a test), if I put in any of the 'illegal' XML characters of ' it spits it all out just fine. For example, ![CDATA[This is 'a test.]] comes out just fine. However, if I put a the text breaks. So, say I had article title=Testing site=Testing siteHref=http://www.microsoft.com; href=http://www.microsoft.com;![CDATA[This is a test.]]/article All I see is 'This is'. Isn't the CDATA meant to cover all special characters? I don't know why is treated differently. Is there some kind of escape character to use that I've missed? It works just fine if I use lt; instead of , but it's the theory of the thing that's getting me...

How many of the thousands of coders on this list are in Sydney anyway? 3? 5? 10? For the Kevin, do you have any suggestions? I recently have new members who only subscribe to this list and they are finding the group beneficial. not another. Even Figleaf, who runs this list AND a number of user groups, doesn't post their meeting notices here. I'd be interested in knowing how they do it. I don't mind a new group starting up sending one or two announcement posts to the list - there are a lot of coders here and hopefully a new group can get an initial influx of members in this way. But the Sydney group is nearly a year old, so it seems to me that THIS LIST ought to be able to get back to coding issues, of which there are plenty, sometime soon. The format and location of the group has changed. Again, I don't mean to offend anybody, and I really don't like writing emails like this. I just think this kind of content belongs elsewhere. And if it is somehow appropriate, just let me know and I'll shut up... Thanks for listening. You're not offending me.
