RE: [Flashcoders] Making a cd for Pc and Mac (Zinc - Director- SWFStudio - .NET)

[Lieven Cardoen]

Yes, maybe Flash isn't the best choice, but I don't see me making
interactive/flashy applications in java. The contents of the
cd/application can also be viewed online, but that's a rather static
environment (not to be distributed with a book). Flash is nice because a
Grafical Designer can do the first part (making animations...) and after
that I do the coding.

I am excited about Interactive Expression by Microsoft, but again
there's the mac-issue.

What other options do I have? Don't begin about Director, I simply don't
like it. Not that it is not a good product, but I've had too much
problems with it.

Lieven, you haven't really indicated why Flash itself is key to the  
project. What functionality is it offering that the only thing in  
question is which wrapper tool to use? Maybe Flash itself is a poor  
choice in this case?

Re: [Flashcoders] Instantiate a class by string

[Adrian Park]

Hey Julian,

With your example, this should work (I've just tested a similar class
instantiation in one of my classes):

var anObject = new eval("org").eval("foo").eval("Bar")();

You can pass parameters in the final set of braces as usual.

Re: [Flashcoders] Instantiate a class by string

[Steve Webster]

Hi Julian,


A simple question perhaps but couldn't figure it out by myself.
How can I instantiate a class having it's qname? Say I know that I  
need an instance of  "org.foo.Bar", how can I summon it?


I tried doing:

 var anObject = new (eval("org.foo.Bar"));

but I get undefined in return. Maybe there is someobscure method  
like Class.instantiate(aQname) that I overlooked?


Your example should work. Are you sure that the class has been  
compiled into your SWF? If there's nothing that absolutely references  
your class in the code, it won't get compiled in. You can test that  
by tracing the value of _global.org.foo.Bar.


Cheers,

Steve

[Flashcoders] Help with swapdepths

[Gaia-Tek]

Hi Group,

I'm having a problem with a seemingly simple task...

I'm trying to get whichever movieclip on my stage is clicked on, to 
swapDepths to the top, and be draggable...


My code is:

on (press) {
   this.swapDepths(this.getNextHighestDepth());
   startDrag(this);
}
on (release) {
   stopDrag();
}

Not working...

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks

Don

Re: [Flashcoders] Getting File name when using ReferenceList

[Yves Peckstadt]

Hi Martin,

You can't get the server file name from the fileReference object due too
security issues I think.

You can do an easy work around though.

What I do is :

I upload the file to a temporary folder. After the onComplete event I do a
service call (in my case coldfusion cfc) which will handle my file
(move,rename ,delete,etc..) and then just sends the server file name back to
flash.

I am sure there are other ways to do this ofcourse.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with swapdepths

Maybe you should try:

this.swapDepths(this._parent.getNextHighestDepth());
OR
this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());

instead of

this.swapDepths(this.getNextHighestDepth());

?

Re: [Flashcoders] Instantiate a class by string

[Cedric Muller]

the following would work too(though very ugly):


import org.foo.Bar;
var qname:String = "org.foo.Bar";
var x = new _global[qname]();


anyway, if you don't do the import, you cannot instanciate the Bar  
class ...


OR
*just* reference the class ;) (no importdummy dumb)

org.foo.Bar;
var qname:String = "org.foo.Bar";
var x = new _global[qname]();


cedric ?



Hi Chris,

[Flashcoders] Old Flashplayer Standalone

Hi,
I am looking for older Flash Players standalone.
I got http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14266
which only offers the different plugin-versions. Are the .exe-Players

I'd wager that 'commands' is an array of constructor function object  
references, stored by name, as opposed to an array of strings which  
contain the package names.

Re: [Flashcoders] Instantiate a class by string

[Dan Efergan]

Kind of yes and no...

(Hello to the group by the way, new here)

Please excuse my lack of correct terminology, and number of  
assumptions, I think...


Once you understand the underlying structure of Flash, you realise  
that referencing properties, variables, and commands is very similar  
to referencing anything contained within an Object...


So in object "Foo", you have a property called "bar" then you  
reference it through foo["bar"].  The useful part is that Flash will  
eval() everything within those brackets.  So you could also reference  
foo["ba"+"r"] to the same effect.


So with:
var theCommand = new commands [ commandNameToCheck ] ();

You're actually looking within the new commands structure, with the  
square brackets doing their  job, working like an eval().


Not sure if that was useful or not, but I'm pretty sure that's how  
it's going down.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic shread fonts was : Linked font from class

[Cedric Muller]

Zarate's trick doesn't work with Flash 8 ?... hmm, I am using Flash 8  
IDE, but compiling to 7 ,... no problems .. yet ?...
I works so nicely with my 100 files project ... it even works in ZINC  
projector (they said it wasn't possible! :))
anyway, Erix's SWFMILL solution seems great ... and I understand  
french :)

will try it for sure...

Hmm... regarding someone at Adobe/Macromedia telling us something  
about shared libraries ... huh! it would be like George Bush praying  
for global world peace ;)
as for shared assets, I never read anything 'smart' on the  
mothership's side ...they are just sticking with opening thousands of  
FLAs, dragging, dropping elements everywhere, edit their linkage in  
some weird place, tick on , tick off, compile, retest, don't work ...  
close Flash, relaunch, open again: works ...huh ?

yeeeaaahhhaa...

I am SO negative on ADBE/MM Shared Libraries implementation ... ...  
it is like a NO feature


anyway, I hope that your wish is listened to ...

i go to the wishlist right now ...

Cedric


Heeello!

First of all, sorry for not publish the english version of the
article. I never find time enough to do it :S

Then, since right now I´m working with SWFMill and MTASC I´ll try to
remember my bad french and read your post. I know sometime ago Martin
Klasson (who is also in this list) found some side problems with the
trick I was using. I know that trick is not elegant at all, but trust
me, it does work.

BUT it would be *great* to hear someone at Macromedia telling us when
(if at any time) do they plan to add an official-risk-free way to load
and use dynamic fonts without any kind of restrictions. I guess the
best way to do it is the simplest one: use fonts the same way we use
classes. That mean "including" the font(s) in one swf, load it at run
time and then use it wherever.

I know it´s doesn´t seem as important as other features for player
8.5, but it will help a lot of people.

Cheers,

Zarate

ps: Someone emailed me off-list last week about the article and I
haven´t replied yet, sorry :)

font (without linking, without compiling, without everything, just
leave it alone)

wouldn't it be better ?

Yes !

Did you tried this technic with flash 8 ide ?
On osx, i can't recompile the original example of zarate :
Problem of ressource for the forceShared asset.

BTW, it gave me the curiosity to dig further in this technic.
I've made a new thread on my blog in order to explain my attempt :
http://www.v-i-a.net/blog/archives/43.html

I used Zarate's trick (because this is in fact a trick) to do it with
opensource tools.
I had the feeling that it would be easier than the long (and badly
translated) explanation available.

As I don't anderstand spanish and you don't probably french, I try to
translate some part of my post here.

We'll be able to create true dynamic shared libraries for flash.
The principe uses the same as Zarate, but IMHO more friendly.

If I remember well, the flash player 6.0.79 gets a new feature :
multi-tiers shared lib.
We use that in order to create dynamic shared lib without referencing
the url in the importing animation.

Here are the key to the paradise :
- An empty swf
- This swf is used to add the url to itself and the other assets  
to be

shared.
- A loading animation that preload the sharedLib before using it.

All the swfmill script are on the blog.
If one is interested to an automated as2ant process, let me know.


Even if this is an awful trick, it leverage the power of dynamic  
shared

assets in flash.
And I, personnaly,  feel much more confortable to do it with swfmill
than Flash, as that type of creation is really ugly in it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Instantiate a class by string

[Adrian Park]

Of course, I was wrong (where's my head at?!).

I can get several of the eval() and [] options to work but, out of
curiosity, how would you pass parameters with the constructor? I can't seem
to do this with my tests. Apologies if this is a dumb q'.

Re: [Flashcoders] Instantiate a class by string

[Cedric Muller]

you could have a 'paramsObj' Object that stores parameters ?

var myStr:String = "org.foo.Bar";
var paramsObj:Object = new Object();
paramsObj.name = "robert";
paramsObj.age = 12;
var myInstance:Object = new _global[myStr](paramsObj);


var theCommand = new commands [ commandNameToCheck ] ();

While aware of the Active Content page on the Adobe site, I only became
aware of the JS solutions from Adobe last week:
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emmy/archives/2006/04/new_js_sample_c.cfm

Though the article Emmy links says it was created end of March so I guess I
can take some blame for not finding it first ;-)

Anyhow, I get the impression most developers are all over this so really,
regardless of where the solutions originated, it seems to be a relatively
smooth transition (notice I didn't say painless).

Cheers,
A.

Re: [Flashcoders] server-side convert to flv

[Christian]

You could also use the On2 flix engine SDK, which is the SDK for flix 
that you can wrap.  It's a com object and I think they just released an 
update for a linux version as well.


We use it at work for all of our video conversion and it's pretty solid.

Re: [Flashcoders] Active X and Microsoft IE ...

[John Grden]

I have to ask, now that I've gone out to see the active content center,
what's the active part?

I mean, is it the "send feedback" option?  I feel like a tard asking this,
but apparently it's not obvioius to me, and so, I'm guessing it's not
obvious to some others either.

One thing that's missing is a "last modified" date/time - how would I know
this is THE latest and greatest?

I sense that there's some peice of a puzzle I'm missing here - like a
workflow/tool I'm not using that would cause me to know for myself that this
was the latest and greatest info etc.

Thanks for your patience John,

JG

[Flashcoders] Text editor - Selection trouble.

[Magnus Askenbäck]

Hi all,
I'm trying to build a quite simple text editor in f8 and are currently 
having some problems with the Selecton class.

If anyone can give me some pointers it would be much apreciated.

Problem is that whenever I try to use my buttons I loose focus of the 
textField and the Selection doesn't trigger. Like so:


boldButton.onRelease = function () {
   my_txt.setTextFormat(Selection.getBeginIndex(), 
Selection.getEndIndex(), arialBold);

}

Selection.getBeginIndex() and Selection.getEndIndex() only returns -1

And if someone has a live exemple (with code) that would be awesome. A 
component is not an option tho.


Tnx

If I remember correctly using onRelease or even onPress is to late and the
selection is already gone. To store the selection indexes you need to use
the onMouseDown event.

Re: [Flashcoders] Text editor - Selection trouble.

[Marcelo Volmaro]

That´s right, because once you hitted the button, the selection is the  
button.
You need to store the start/end index somewere and then, on the button,  
use that indexes instead of the Selection functions.


An easy way could be to assign into an onEnterFrame a function that checks  
if the selected item is the textfield and if is, store the start/end  
positions of the selection.
Then, the button code should look like (assuming you stored the start/end  
indexes in startIndex and endIndex)

boldButton.onRelease = function () {
my_txt.setTextFormat(startIndex, endIndex, arialBold);
}

Hope it helps...

If you can get your hands on older trial versions of flash you should get
the standalone player along with it.

RE: [Flashcoders] Text editor - Selection trouble.

[Giles Taylor]

I got round this this by adding a mouse listener to the textField and checking 
onMouseDown that the mouse was pressed within the text area, if it was then 
onRelease gets the selection (getCaret(), getBeginIndex() & getEndIndex()) and 
stores it in variables so it can be recalled later.

This allows you to set the selection up again after a styling button has been 
released, so the user doesn't have to re-select to apply some more styling 
(maybe they want it bold & italic). It also allows you to setup a function to 
check the styling of selected text and automatically put toggle buttons into 
the correct state (if bold text is selected the bold button goes to the down 
state).

It all depends how far you want to take your "quite simple text editor" ;)

Re: [Flashcoders] Text editor - Selection trouble.

[Michael Bedar]

I did this a long time ago, and as others have said, you need to use  
an onMouseDown.  You will still lose your selection however.. I ended  
up storing the selection begin and end an using that to set the  
selection again after I applied the style.

Re: [Flashcoders] Instantiate a class by string - SOLVED

[Julian 'Julik' Tarkhanov]

On 12-apr-2006, at 12:57, Cedric Muller wrote:


new _global[myStr]


Ok, finally I sorted it out. It's really twisted.

Firts of all, the best manner to access the needed class is indeed by  
"property literal" (the fact that the class is just a property of  
it's parent namespace), so that is the most neat solution IMO:


var bananaType:String = "green";
var inst:Banana  = new org.monkeys.bananas[bananaType]();

What turned out to _really_ be the problem is the following. Looks  
like the Flash compiler actually _omits_ the classes that I reference  
using import if they are not literally called upon in code (which is  
ridiculous). I have the following in my class:


import com.julik.star.stack.layout.Layout;
import com.julik.stack.layout.Horizontal;
import com.julik.stack.layout.Vertical;
import com.julik.stack.layout.Burst;

class com.julik.star.Stack extends com.julik.star.Widget {
// bla bla
function Stack() {
		layout = new com.julik.star.stack.layout.Horizontal; // this class  
DOES get imported and is visible in _globals

}
}

The problem is - I got to have "new someClass" somewhere in my code  
for the other "layouts" to appear under _globals, after which I can  
properly instantiate them.


I wonder if it's a bug or just one of those places where "It's gonna

Re: [Flashcoders] Instantiate a class by string - SOLVED

[Steve Webster]

Julian,

The problem is - I got to have "new someClass" somewhere in my code  
for the other "layouts" to appear under _globals, after which I can  
properly instantiate them.


You just need to reference the class, so variables like this...

var hLayoutRef:Function = Horizontal;
var vLayoutRef:Function = Vertical;
var bLayoutRef:Function = Burst;

...will do the trick.

Also, if you're using mtasc you could use the following switch...

-pack com.julik.stack.layout

Also, if you want a more structured way to instantiate these classes,  
have a look at the find method of my ClassFinder class here:

Regards,

Steve

Re: [Flashcoders] Text editor - Selection trouble.

[Magnus Askenbäck]

tnx for the tips all, been really helpful! =D

Giles Taylor wrote:


I got round this this by adding a mouse listener to the textField and checking 
onMouseDown that the mouse was pressed within the text area, if it was then 
onRelease gets the selection (getCaret(), getBeginIndex() & getEndIndex()) and 
stores it in variables so it can be recalled later.

This allows you to set the selection up again after a styling button has been 
released, so the user doesn't have to re-select to apply some more styling (maybe 
they want it bold & italic). It also allows you to setup a function to check 
the styling of selected text and automatically put toggle buttons into the correct 
state (if bold text is selected the bold button goes to the down state).

It all depends how far you want to take your "quite simple text editor" ;)

Hi all,
I'm trying to build a quite simple text editor in f8 and are currently 
having some problems with the Selecton class.

If anyone can give me some pointers it would be much apreciated.

Problem is that whenever I try to use my buttons I loose focus of the 
textField and the Selection doesn't trigger. Like so:


boldButton.onRelease = function () {
  my_txt.setTextFormat(Selection.getBeginIndex(),
Selection.getEndIndex(), arialBold);
}

Selection.getBeginIndex() and Selection.getEndIndex() only returns -1

And if someone has a live exemple (with code) that would be awesome. A 
component is not an option tho.


Tnx

Thanks a bunch, looks impressive. Will investigate that. Shame that

Funny though that imports do not do anything unless you use the  
classes directly. I'd say this is broken.


As to the MTASC - I didn't get far enough yet and I still like the  
fact of having a Flash IDE where I can draw'em widgets, and I also  
use some mx.tween classes for the project (which I believe won't  
build cleanly on MTASC unless you have Flash installed - which sort

[Flashcoders] AMFPHP tutorial - no Result on NetConnection Debugger

[elr]

Hi all,

I try to setup installed AMFPHP rel 1.2.3 on Flash 8 following 
amfphp.org tutorial (http://www.amfphp.org/docs/testingamfphp.html)
Gateway.php properly reacts and everything seems ok excepted that, 
running the HelloWorld sample, myNetConnection Debugger doesn`t 
report any Result event (while I get Connect and Call ones..)


Any idea ?

I disagree.

All 'import' does is to tell the parser which particular class you are
referring to.

If we assume that the file com/fred/MyMonkey.as exists, for example:

var monkey:MyMonkey=new MyMonkey();   // fails without an import statement

whereas:

import com.fred.MyMonkey;
var monkey:MyMonkey=new MyMonkey();

works, but could equally be written as:

var monkey:com.fred.MyMonkey=new com.fred.MyMonkey();

Import doesn't actually use the class per se - a solid reference of
some sort (such as the declaration of a variable or the creation of an
object) of that class suddenly means that it's actually been used, and
so the compiler notes that it needs to be compiled and included in the
output .swf.

The same, as far as I can recall (it's been a while now), is true of Java.

Otherwise typing something like:
import com.fred.*;
var monkey:com.fred.MyMonkey=new com.fred.MyMonkey();

Would compile in all of the code in your com.fred library - which it
patently doesn't do, and nor would I expect it to.

Cheers,
  Ian

[Flashcoders] Manually triggering the Screens "onResize" event

[Mike Anderson]

Hello All,

I have a Flash App, that uses a "Non-Scaling" type setup - in which upon
browser resize, the controls simply reposition themselves around,
creating more usable area for content.  It's works beautifully, but with
a catch.

The problem is, my application insists on starting out at it's Published
Size - so if the browser is larger than the application, there is a
bunch of white-space along the Right and Bottom.  Of course, I designed
the app to take up the entire browser window.

The moment the user resizes the browser, the application immediately
snaps into place taking up 100% of the browser area - and everything is
well.

How can I trigger this event, the moment the application is loaded in
the browser???

Thanks in advance for your help,

Mike

It seems logical that import makes the classes available in the

that it's impossible to force "burn-in" of these classes even if they  
are not being called explicitly (with standard Flash means).


As for Java - I don't see how this is relevant because every class  
gets compiled into a .class file and you can describe which classes  
a .jar contains (so they can be looked up inside the jar). Not so  
with an SWF which is an all-or-nothing :-)

RE: [Flashcoders] Making a cd for Pc and Mac (Zinc - Director -SWFStudio - .NET)

[kariminal]

I've made tons of dual boot CD's using Flash/Director ( which now has the
Xtra for flash 8 ), and I found it's the best tool out there for extending
flash.

of course that would depend on your personal preference.. you can extend
flash with wxPython, C#, visual basic, there is a long list... Then you have
other apps Screenweaver ( on osflash ), which is great but still needing a
lot of work. SWF studio, Zinc.. These have been mentioned ... I've not
worked with Zinc.. 

But director is still my #1.. Plus I find lingo very intuitive, and
extendable via the Xtras. But that a matter of personal preference...

Xtras for the database.

Using Treeview in Director

For a TreeView you might want to roll your own code for it.

RE: [Flashcoders] Instantiate a class by string - SOLVED

[Scott Hyndman]

SWF is more flexible than you give it credit for. A swf can reference external 
resources just as a jar can. You can, in effect, write your own class loader 
that satisfies dependencies at runtime just by splitting all your classes into 
multiple swfs. A swf IS a jar, just not so nice to work with.

I highly recommend mProjector.  It's the best 3rd party wrapper out
there, IMO, and I've tried them all.  It's the easiest and smartest to
code with, it has the best performance hands down, does asynchronous
communication with the OS, allows you to package all your swfs into the
executable is now cross-platform!

RE: [Flashcoders] Manually triggering the Screens "onResize" event

[Mike Anderson]

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried in that in the meantime.

2 very undesired things happen:

1) The movie components are still in the exact same spots.

2) The bottom StatusBar actually is 1-inch shorter -
   this not even reaching to the other side of the
   stage

It's almost as if (especially in case #2) that the StatusBar is basing
it's _width property on mis-information.  If I didn't know better, it's
as if there are timing problems going on.

I thought that the "onLoad" event fixes problems like that - since it
waits until all components are instantiated and initialized, before
Dispatching the "I am all finished" signal.

What I have is this (in root):

=

var stageSizeListener:Object = new Object();

stageSizeListener.onResize = function():Void
{
var stageHeight:Number = Stage.height;
var stageWidth:Number = Stage.width;

// Main Menu
mainMenu._width = stageWidth;
mainMenu.updateDisplay(true);

// Map Status Bar
mapStatusBar._width = stageWidth;

etc
}

this.onLoad = function():Void
{
stageSizeListener.onResize();
}

Stage.addListener( stageSizeListener );

=

All this resize code works beautifully, but only AFTER the movie is
completely loaded, and the user MANUALLY resizes the browser.

Am I missing something here?  I was hoping the onLoad function would
alleviate any timing issues, but not only does it NOT work, it's
actually causing my StatusBar (which resides at the bottom) to have a
lesser width size.

If I remove the onLoad code, then eveything paints fine - but things are
not positioned correctly.

Any more ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

RE: [Flashcoders] Help with swapdepths

[Steven Sacks]

Also, don't use "on-clip" methods like 

on (press) or on(release)

That's for non-coders who are making banner ads.  Instead, put your code
in the timeline:

btn.onPress = function() {
//
};
btn.onRelease = function() {
//
};

You'll thank me for it down the line.  It's never a good idea to put
code directly on buttons or movieclips.  Always put your code on the
timeline where it's easy to find without having to click on all the
individual buttons/clips in your movie.  There is no exception to this
rule, ever.

Also, the reason your code isn't working is because when you say
this.getNextHighestDepth(), you're referring to the depth INSIDE the
movieclip itself ("this" in an onPress method refers to the
movieclip/button - another reason to put your code on the timeline to
make things clearer).  You need to refer to the movieclip's parent.
this._parent.getNextHighestDepth();

Steven

[Flashcoders] ScrollPane wont load contentPath ?

[Isaac Rivera]

Anyone experienced ScrollPane Denial Of Service Attack?

Two movies. In one in both I post MM's example. In one it works, in  
the second one nada. The second one is the project Fla in interested  
in working with of course.


this.createClassObject(mx.containers.ScrollPane, "my_sp", 10);
my_sp.setSize(320, 240);
my_sp.contentPath = "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/ 
image1.jpg";


The ScrollPane component is in the library.
It shows on the stage, but no content.

trace(this.my_sp); // _level0.my_sp
trace(this.my_sp.content); // undefined
trace(this.my_sp.contentPath); // http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/ 
images/image1.jpg


Any insights?

It seems logical that import makes the classes available in the  
context into which they are imported. What seems un-logical to me is  
that it's impossible to force "burn-in" of these classes even if they  
are not being called explicitly (with standard Flash means).

As for Java - I don't see how this is relevant because every class  
gets compiled into a .class file and you can describe which classes  
a .jar contains (so they can be looked up inside the jar). Not so  
with an SWF which is an all-or-nothing :-)

[Flashcoders] caret colour changes

[quinrou .]

Hi all,

I am having a problem. The caret or i-beam seems to change colour in a flash
text field according to the colour of the text where it is located.
Now and then the caret takes the colour of the text it's in and sometimes
not.

This becomes an issue when the colour of the text is the same as background
colour. Because the caret/i-beam disappears.

Does anyone know how to overcome that issue or to work around it?

Thanks
Seb

It's more like "active content" than "active center"... "active content"

ActiveX Controls, and Java applets. It's not just a PNG that sits there; 
it can do things itself.


(There's a second sense of "active content" in public discourse which is 
semi-related, about how browser extensions usually draw direct-to-screen

special case where WMODE compositing is supported by both browser and

This is something I've wanted for a long time too, but my internal

appear more dated than it actually is. I've not yet been sufficiently 
persuasive here, but I share your goal for full metadata too.

RE: [Flashcoders] Manually triggering the Screens "onResize" event

[Mike Anderson]

The only problem is, it's a "Single Frame" application.

I avoid multi-frame apps like the plague - because I have so many coding
issues, and can't have controls residing on multiple frames (they must
exist at all times, because they intercommunicate with each other,
throughout the lifetime of the application).

This app is considered to be an "RIA", and resides ALL on a single
frame.  All my MovieClips have Class Files attached to them, and I truly
run this Movie like an Application.  Multiple Windows, toggling
visibility, remoting calls, etc. all tied together by listening to
Events.

It's a wonderfully reliable application - which I plan on migrating to
Flex as soon as I can.  But in the meantime, Flash is my only solution.

With that said, is there anything else I can do - to force the
"onResize" event to kick off, just milliseconds after the application
gets fully initialized?  I have a feeling this may fix the problem.

Maybe some kind of Timer that only runs once?  Once things are
positioned properly upon the initial load, it's all well and good - the
StageListener coupled with the manual browser resizes, takes care of
everything after that.

Thanks for anything else you can throw my way :)

Mike

RE: [Flashcoders] Manually triggering the Screens "onResize" event

[Mike Anderson]

I am really sorry Ryan - 

I put some more thought into what you had to say, and I got it to work.
Tunnel vision is dangerous sometimes, and when you code a certain way
for so long, it's hard to break out of your normal coding methods.

So with that said, I simply inserted 5 blank frames - but made sure that
all the layers containing components, extended out to the 5th frame.
That way, they never get erased when moving to the next Frame.  As you
can probably guess, I am not a typical Flash programmer who does
animation, etc.  I write ONLY applications.

I still have my main Include file on Frame 1 (which contains all my code
for the entire app), but I created a Key Frame on Frame 5 - which calls
the "onResize" event for the Stage Listener.  Now I understand what you
were trying to say - give the movie more time to initialize, and THEN
call the "onResize" method.

Now the movie comes up with all the controls positioned properly.

THANK YOU - and I will make sure that I listen with "more open ears"
next time I get some good advice ;-)

Thanks and take care,

Mike

[Flashcoders] Accordion Sizing Weirdness

[Mike Anderson]

Hello All,

I am confused about the Accordion Control, and how it's reacting to
Resize Events.

For example, a MenuBar Component - also a V2 Control, when I issue a
Resize Event and give it new _width parameters, the control widens
appropriately without any Menu Items distorting.

Controls widening or shrinking (and NOT scaling) is by design when
things are setup correctly.  That's what xscale and yscale are reserved
for correct?

So with that said, when writing an application that has Stage.align =
"TL" and Stage.scaleMode = "noScale", and I have code that moves (or
sizes) components based on browser size, what must I do to have the
Accordion reveal "more or less area", versus "scaling larger or
smaller"?

This is not the behavior I expected from the Accordion - since it's a
Container, and a V2 Component.

I understand I may need to have additional sizing code, within the
MovieClips that make up the Accordion Children, but this initial
behavior of scaling is something that should not be happening right?

Could any of you shed more light on this problem?

Thanks,

Mike

Re: [Flashcoders] Accordion Sizing Weirdness

[eric dolecki]

in your onResize - have you tried setSize( w, h ) yet?

also - I am using an accordion right now - some children contain listboxes,
datagrids, etc. One cool thing I am doing is when the accordion is resizing,
i am resizing the contents inside the children too - nice and tight.

RE: [Flashcoders] Accordion Sizing Weirdness

[Mike Anderson]

Oh no, I have not tried that method yet -

In Flash, there are too many ways to skin a cat sometimes, and you get
accustom to using certain methods of doing things.  I was aware of that
method, but never used it before.

Using V2 Components, is using the setSize() Function, the preferred way
to set the size??

And yes, once I got the Accordion to size properly, the plan was to
implement code inside of each Child MovieClip - to resize themselves
accordingly.

Which does raise another question, in which I am sure you can answer:

On which events should I listen for, in order to trigger the Resize
Functions contained within each Child MovieClip (not to mention, WHERE
should that code reside)?  Since the Accordion Contents can change based
on a multitude of variables, I really can't code my Resize Events for
the Children, within my main Code Block residing in Root.  I need each
MovieClip Child, to contain their own logic - independent from the main
app.

I am using Class Files for each of my MovieClips - and it's in the Class
File itself, where I want to listen for the Resize Events of the
Accordion, so I can properly move things around inside the Accordion
Children.

Could you clarify all those things for me?

Thanks Eric :)

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Accordion Sizing Weirdness

in your onResize - have you tried setSize( w, h ) yet?

also - I am using an accordion right now - some children contain
listboxes, datagrids, etc. One cool thing I am doing is when the
accordion is resizing, i am resizing the contents inside the children
too - nice and tight.

[Flashcoders] Macbook pro issue

[Patrick Matte]

We have a performance issue here with the flash player on a brand new
macbook pro. Our latest site that uses flash 8 progressive download video is
running at less than 5 frames per second while it should play at 24 fps...
Has anybody heard of any similar problem with that machine?

The flash player for the intel macs is beta.  I guess six months just 
isn't enough time to port the thing.

Re: [Flashcoders] caret colour changes

[Michael Stuhr]

Hi all,

I am having a problem. The caret or i-beam seems to change colour in a flash
text field according to the colour of the text where it is located.
Now and then the caret takes the colour of the text it's in and sometimes
not.

This becomes an issue when the colour of the text is the same as background
colour. Because the caret/i-beam disappears.

Does anyone know how to overcome that issue or to work around it?

it's a WELL KNOWN Bug, since , well since too long i guess. MM was not willing to killit, so 
i guess we'll have to live another lifecycle with this.


least help i can give you:

add a listener to the Selection Object and everytime one selects text in your textfield 
apply another textcolor to your text, or change the background of that specific TextField. 
on de-select restore everything.

[Flashcoders] Clarification if Remoting is included with Flex 2.0

[Mike Anderson]

Okay, I've heard 2 different stories now - and I need to find out which
one is true.

In the core version of Flex 2.0 - is Remoting included with the basic
package?  OR is it not??

I need to find out now, if I am forced to lay out a bunch more cash, in
order to simply talk to our ColdFusion server to perform some basic
Database queries.

Thanks in advance, for any 100% accurate information you can throw my
way.

RE: [Flashcoders] Manually triggering the Screens "onResize" event

[Steven Sacks]

You do realize that toggling _visible does not release any memory,
right?  Flash still tracks the movieclip in memory, it just doesn't draw
it.  If you're building RIAs, you should open up your task manager and
watch your memory usage over time to make sure you're not using too
much.  I have no problem with frame-based RIAs, but then again, I tend
to use all the tools Flash makes available to me, not just Actionscript.

RE: [Flashcoders] Manually triggering the Screens "onResize" event

[Mike Anderson]

Oh yes, I absolutely understand that.

I only use the visibility toggle, for extremely used "Dialog Boxes" -
there is no point in instantiating them, and then killing them, over and
over again - if I know for a fact that it will be used often.

For like a Forms Based application (like a Masters Grid, and Details
Window) I will actually delete the MovieClip when I am finished - due to
the large amounts of Code contained inside it, in addition to the large
collection of Controls that make up the Details form.

What makes this all possible, is the init() portion of the Class Files -
where you can pass all your parameter data to the MovieClip FIRST before
it's instantiated, so it's all ready to rock before the controls get
generated.

It's taken me a long time, to figure out how to properly write these
kinds of apps, using Flash.  This was all such a piece of cake in VB.NET
and C# - but Flash was a different story.

As soon as I master Flex, I am moving over to that, and will never look
back (unless I need to write a Widget, which I think Flash is better
suited for).

Thanks for the extra input though - 

Mike

Mike, I'm a single frame flasher to.. its all I do.. you don't have to
create empty frames in your fla.

You can do something as simple as:
this.onLoad = function():Void {
var c:Number = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (c >= 5) { // you pick a number that works...
delete this.onEnterFrame;
stageSizeListener.onResize();
}
c++;
}
}

We have a performance issue here with the flash player on a brand new
macbook pro. Our latest site that uses flash 8 progressive download video is
running at less than 5 frames per second while it should play at 24 fps...
Has anybody heard of any similar problem with that machine?

RE: [Flashcoders] Macbook pro issue

[Ettwein, Josh]

Yes. It's running in an emulator (rosetta), correct? You're going to
have performance issues with any software that's not optimized for the
Mac intel chip, which is pretty much everything at this point, if I'm
correct. I've actually heard that a lot of the "pro" apps like Motion,
etc. won't even run under Rosetta - I think because they're heavily
time-sensitive - the software knows that there's no way it can keep up
without dropping a ton of frames, so it won't even run if it knows it's
going to be an unacceptable level of performance. Can you install boot
camp and run the PC version maybe?

[Flashcoders] Trouble with dynamic binding dataset to datagrid & cellrenderer

[Bart Wttewaall]

Hello FlashCoders,

I've been trying to add Philippe Nomail's (or better known as
Philiflash) cart-example (http://philflash.inway.fr/cart/cart.html) to
a project of mine. But unfortunately I can't make use of databinding
within the IDE. For that I used Hank Williams' DataSet to DataGrid
dynamic binding example.

So I tried to create the bindings dynamically, but the amount cell
(which uses a NumericStepper to increment the amount of products in
the cart) doesn't work properly, not even with his updated Flash 8
example. It seems as if the dataProviders of the DataGrid and DataSet
are in conflict.

Philippe is out of office until the 17th, so I'm trying the list.
Could you please help me out? I've uploaded the code in a zipfile to
the following url:
http://download.mediamonkey.nl/MyCart.zip

Thanks a lot in advance,
Bart Wttewaall.

There is no real Adobe Flash Player for Macintosh-on-Intel yet. The 
closest is the authorized Adobe 8.0 Preview version for this platform, 
which does not have many of the problems in the early draft which Apple 
released.

[Flashcoders] object vs document level undo

[Anastasia McCune]

Hello, I hope this isn't too simple a question, but can anyone explain or
point to a good article on object vs. document level undo?  I know
theoretically what this is supposed to do, but am playing around trying it
with shapes in regular mode, symbols and shapes drawn in object drawing mode
and am having trouble seeing the difference in how undo is treated.

Many thanks!

[Flashcoders] Quick setSize() question

[Mike Anderson]

Hello all,

If I am interested in only sizing a component using the setSize method -
but if I only wanted to set a single parameter (width or height), how do
I properly pass the variables?

Can I simply do this, if I only wanted to set a single parameter?

  componentInstance.setSize( null, 20 );

Or am I forced to pass it valid numbers for both values?

I know I could feed the function the component's existing value like
this:

  var tempVar:Number = componentInstance._width;
  componentInstance.setSize( tempVar, 20 );

But that seems silly.

Could anybody clarify that for me?

Thanks,

Mike

Yep, it's the same thing except no setting of a variable first...

Okay, I just wanted to make sure I couldn't simply pass a Null to it, in

[Flashcoders] Need help understanding EventDispatcher

[Daniel Cardenas]

Hi,

I'm trying to learn event handling using the EventDispatcher class and 
am having a hard time getting a test to work. I'm also fairly new to 
OOP, so I'm having a hard time finding the problem in my code.


I've created a simple "Ball" class that creates an empty MC and then 
draws a circle in it. I've defined some event methods in the class and 
contained them within a "declareEventMethods" method. I don't know if 
that's the right way to do it or not - I modeled this test on various 
tutorials I've found online, but it's not working.


What I'm trying to do is create a new instance of the "Ball" class 
called "myBall", then notify an event handler of events dispatched by 
myBall. The handler should then execute a trace command.


The "Ball" class assigns the name "testBall" to the MC it creates, and 
I can trigger the event handler if I define a method directly on the MC 
that's created, ie:

  testBall.onPress = function () {myEventHandler(testBall);}

but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish.

I've pasted the code below - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Daniel Cardenas

  // create a ball MC
	  var aBall:MovieClip = _level0.createEmptyMovieClip('testBall', 
getNextHighestDepth());


  // draw ball
  aBall._x = 100;
  aBall._y = 100;
  aBall.lineStyle(20, 0xff, 100);
  aBall.lineTo(0,.2);
  }

  public function declareEventMethods():Void {
  onMouseDown = function() {
  dispatchEvent( {type: "mouseDown", target: this} );
  }
  onMouseUp = function() {
  dispatchEvent( {type: "mouseUp", target: this} );

RE: [Flashcoders] Need help understanding EventDispatcher

[Mike Anderson]

If you are extending a MovieClip - doesn't the MovieClip already have
all those things "you are trying to recreate" at your disposal?

That is the whole point of extending a MovieClip - so you DON'T have to
go through all the stuff you are going through right now.

I am no guru at this stuff, but I write Class Files on a daily basis,
and I NEVER have to deal with stuff like this.  I create custom
listeners, and dispatch events on a regular basis - and it works just
beautifully.

It just seems like you are reinventing the wheel, and defeating the
whole purpose of why things were created this way in the first place.

This is just my initial reaction to what I've seen, and I am sure some
more experienced people will chime in on this thread.

Mike

Re: [Flashcoders] AMFPHP tutorial - no Result on NetConnection Debugger

[Manuel Saint-Victor]

Try making sure that there are absolutely no spaces at the start or end of
the HelloWorld.php and the gateway.php.

I'm not sure if you downloaded or cut and pasted the code but sometimes when
cut and pasting if you inadvertently add a space you'll get that error.
