I just tried your algorithm with my previous example numbers and it does
output the correct square size (100) - also, internally it has the right
number of columns/lines: e.g. 3x4 (p=3, q=4) As for performance, it took
6
iterations: Since the output was 3x4, the number of iterations was (3 + 4
-
1) = 6. (it started at 1x1 and did 6 iterations: something like: 1x1,
1x2,
2x2, 2x3, 3x3, 3x4)
For N = 100, the number of iteration depends on the ratio: it could be
anywhere from 19 (10x10-1) to 100 iterations (worst case happens if the
output is a single line or a single column). So that would make N
iterations (in worst cases) and ~2*SQRT(N)-1 best case.
I took the liberty of optimizing the method a little bit and renaming a
few
internal variables to my personal liking. ;-) -- I did not do any real

Danny: I do not understand your algorithm - could you shed some more
(high-level) light on what it is doing?
Sure. The idea is that the optimal size will always be an exact fraction
of
either the width or the height. So what we do is drop down by multiples
of
these until we get to the first size that will contain N or more
squares.
At
any particular width, we keep track of the two 'next-smallest' widths
and
drop down to the largest of these. Run through the algorithm with a few
sample numbers and it should make sense.
It may be that there's a more algebraic approach. The problem is,
though,
that there is no simple relationship between floor(x), floor(y) and
floor(xy), which would be needed to come up with any truly useful
solution.
In the end, it turns into quite a complex optimisation problem, and
given
that the brute force algorithm is actually pretty fast, it hardly seems
worth the effort :)

[Flashcoders] LocalSharedObject.flush pending: suppress dialog box
When a localSharedObject.flush() returns 'pending', an apparently inevitable dialog box pops up (asking the user to increase the amount of available disk space). I would like to prevent this box to appear. This way I could show the user some additional information (and a button to call System.showSettings(1)). So my question is: how can I prevent this dialog box to appear? regards, Jan Oosterhuis Faculty of Behavioral Sciences University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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] Fitting squares into an area
Hmmm it has problems - try 8 at 640x480
Works for me. Would you have expected it to make a 4 x 2 array instead of
3x3? The square size is 160 in either case, so I guess it's a matter of
chance which one it discovers. If you want to look for a 'neatest' case,
that's going to involve more complex calculations

My suggestions for you would be 1) Always give the user an option to manually select low-band or hi-band. 2) If you test connection speed, do so with every visit: network conditions will vary. 3) To force the test file to download from the server every time, add a random number (or current date time) on a query string to the file request: http://www.myserver.com/myfile.mp3?200605093455758.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to embed the Flash Player in a desktop application
Chris Velevitch wrote: 'What is the Flash Player's APIs so my C++ program can interface to it'? Like I wrote, the Player itself doesn't expose APIs to hosts so much as use whatever APIs the various hosts expose for communication. (You could say there's a type of API in the predefined play/stop/get/set commands, but this is a given set of commands passed through whichever communication interface the hosting browser offers.) That's ActiveX Scripting for ActiveX Controls (Windows only, usually IE/Win) and NPRuntime for currently-released plugin-using browsers, on Mac or Win. (Previously there was LiveConnect and then the first Mozilla/Firefox API. I think there may be a Linux browser intercommunication protocol too, but Linux browsers vary so greatly that I don't keep this in memory.) Rephrased, to host and communicate with the Adobe Flash Player, you need to either support ActiveX or Plugin hosting, and then implement the communication model which hosts of that type support. jd -- John Dowdell .

[Flashcoders] for (var i in ..) loop interupted by frame change
I have sevaral for (var i in .. ) loops running looping through objects that
get thrown (interupted OR actually go forever) when I change the frame of a
movieClip where one exists.
Just as an example:
for (var i in listeners)
{
dispatch(listeners[i].event);
{
// the listener
function setState()
{
this.gotoAndStop(over);
}
or so, produced and endless loop (when the listeners object was defined on
the movieClip using the for .. i .. in)
Anyone have any ideas on fixes? I changed my listener to loop through it as
an Array (which isn't as fast and doesn't allow you to remove listening
objects halfway through the process). I've run into a circumstance where I
can't use an Array.

Re: [Flashcoders] for (var i in ..) loop interupted by frame change
thanks for the quick response.
If you view the source for MM's EventDispatcher you'll see that it traverses
the event listeners array with a for..i..in. This is so that one of the
listening methods can removeEventListener and not screw up the array
mid-process. A for..i..in simply hits every uniqe property despite order or
number.
The code I sent is an illustritive example. I've resolved my
EventDispatcher, but I'm finding this issue is the case in other
circumstanced (states, for example, are changing the frames while a
for..i..in loop is running on that object).

You seem to have a small typo in here:
for (var i in listeners)
{
dispatch(listeners[i].event);
{
The second curly bracket is backwards. I don't know if that is causing
your problem though, could you give information?
Also, there is an mx object that can do event

[Flashcoders] Non-breaking spaces
Hi Can anyone confirm that in Flash Player 8, non-breaking spaces in text fields are broken? I have an old calendar make back on Flash 5 days. It used a single text field to display each month's calendar using non-breaking spaces and a mono-spaced font to ensure all the dates lined up. I just updated it to Flash 8 and updated the code to AS2 and it's broken - the calendar dates no longer line up. I backed up a bit and made a version for to Flash Player 7 (also converting the code to AS2) and there is no problem there. Anyone?

Re: [Flashcoders] for (var i in ..) loop interupted by frame change
I would love to help on this but I need a little more context. From what I
can gather it looks as if you're trying to dispatch an event a series of
events and have the corresponding listener/handler do something? Is that
correct?
As Kevin stated, it would be better to have a class backing these different
movie clips that dispatch events that trigger another clip to do something
when said events occurs.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flex 2.0 Heap issue
I have tried this but it failed to help. Flex Builder running slow or hang, or get out of Memory message Flex Builder will consuming memory over times, especially when you have a lot of projects created in FB. You can monitor the memory usage of FB from windows task manager. Look at the javaw.exe process, the above mentioned problems usually happens when the memory usage of javaw.exe is too height. You can close and restart the FB to clean up the memory. By default, FB set the heap size for Java virtual machine in FlexBuilder.ini as following: -vmargs -Xms256M -Xmx512M If you exceed the maximum value, OutOfMemory errors can occur. If your system has more total memory available, then you can increase the maximum heap size value. The rule of thumb used to be set the maximum heap size no more than half of the total memory available. However, with the new features and settings in the newer version of JDK, there are more factors you need to consider when deciding what is the best maximum heap size you can use. You can consult articles about heap size online. To change the heap size settings, you can modify them in FlexBuilder.ini under the FB root directory. If you start FB by command line (or using Eclipse), then you can change them by command line (or FB2 shortcut) such as C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2 Beta 1\FlexBuilder.exe -vmargs -Xms256M -Xmx512M 7. NullPointer Exception when open FB If you leave some files open when you close FB and restart FB later, by default FB will open the files you previously opened. If one of those opened file has been deleted already at this time, then FB will throw NullPointer exception. All you need to do to get rid of the exception is to close that file. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wade Arnold Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 11:56 AM To: Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Flex 2.0 Heap issue Hey All, I am seeing the following error right now on FLEX An out of memory error has occurred.

[Flashcoders] tabIndex problems
Hey there, I have been having some problems using the tabIndex feature with Flash 8 Pro. You can view the file here: http://132.162.36.103/albert/MUTH/ The problem is that, though I am confident that I have properly indexed all of the objects, the tabbing does not follow the index I provided. For instance, on the first page of the actual exam (this is a placement exam for a Music Theory course) the first question follows the index properly. The second question, however, insists on going across rather than down first. The similar problems occur on question 4 where the second part of the answer is selected, then the first. All of the objects that I have placed in the index are editable objects, and they all seem to get selected, just not according to the index I layed out. The only oddity is the Submit button which is a single object which exists across all of the frames. I dealt with this by just giving it the highest index on any frame in the hope that it would just work. I didn't see anything in the documentation which would suggest that this won't work, though I'm not really holding my breath. All other objects are in their frame alone and do not last across frames (or layers for that matter). Any suggestions would be appreciated... I'm wondering if there is some global setting I don't have on to use the tabIndex?? Didn't see anything in the documentation suggesting that, but thought it was possible.

RE: [Flashcoders] Best SWF Wrapper
Not long ago I´ve posted a little comparison of SWF Studio and Zinc here, my clear favorite is SWF Studio, using it now for about 4 years and was never disappointed. There where many discussions about that topic on this list, I suggest simply grab rhe demo and the help file from each of them and check out for your on. All tools out there have advantages and disadvantages. As for offline DBs, Zinc and SWF Studio both have SQLite interfaces available. While Zinc´s is free, SS´ has much more features. Check what you need against the tool`s feature lists, and then try two or three demos out.

That's ActiveX Scripting for ActiveX Controls (Windows only, usually IE/Win) and NPRuntime for currently-released plugin-using browsers, on Mac or Win.

Re: [Flashcoders] for (var i in ..) loop interupted by frame change
I apologize, I mislead you. My EventDispatcher is no longer a problem and
the issue I face now seems to be different. I can only duplicate it making a
component class that extends MovieClip. The issue is that the for..i..in
loop stops after a gotoAndStop.
class Test extends MovieClip
{
var list:Object;
function Test()
{
list =
{
one:one,
two:two,
three:three,
four:four,
five:five
};
for (var i in list)
{
trace(i);
gotoAndStop(list[i]);
}
}
}
If you define this class and set it up as a component in the Library you
will see that only one is traced out. Then you can comment out the
gotoAndStop(); and it loops through all 5. It behaves the same whether or
not these frames actually exist.

This is Great! What a horrible thing to have to know, it just doesn't make
sense that the keyword this would fix it. I can't imagine what other scope
gotoAndStop would effect in this way.
Thanks Elibol. It fixes the problem for both situations, endless looping
for..i..in and the for..i..in's that end prematurely.

Seems that you need to explicity refer to this. I remember there being
problems with certain MovieClip functions when they weren't refered to with
the this object. I think that in the object stack there might be two
definitions of the function and 'this' makes sure that the actual movieclip
is the first one that is examined...
Extending MovieClips is always full of suprises man...
This is interesting, I'm wondering if it's gonna fix your problem though?

Hello Elibol!
I apologize, I mislead you. My EventDispatcher is no longer a problem
and the issue I face now seems to be different. I can only duplicate it
making a component class that extends MovieClip. The issue is that the
for..i..in loop stops after a gotoAndStop.
class Test extends MovieClip
{
var list:Object;
function Test()
{
list =
{
one:one,
two:two,
three:three,
four:four,
five:five
};
for (var i in list)
{
trace(i);
gotoAndStop(list[i]);
}
}
}
If you define this class and set it up as a component in the Library you
will see that only one is traced out. Then you can comment out the
gotoAndStop(); and it loops through all 5. It behaves the same whether or
not these frames actually exist. I think I'll post this to the list as well,
but thanks for responding so quickly. Did I tell you I got accepted to speak
at FlashForward in September? On Flash and JavaScript.

I find it's very solid, however, it doesn't seem to be your problem at all.
If you are coding in frames, and frames with function calls and
variable definitions are called more than once, then this can mislead your
assumptions about how many times a piece of code is executed. It might just
be that you are adding the same object to a broadcaster more than once.
I'm not sure but it seems like this is a possibility. Again though, an
ends to what you've mentioned on object enumeration, the for in should never
go into an infinite loop.

RE: [Flashcoders] Best SWF Wrapper
I'm looking for some opinions on the best SWF wrapper you think is out there. The ability to save out files (XML), perhaps communicate with dbases (local/online), etc. mProjector hands down is the best performing SWF wrapper out there. It also has the easiest API to develop against. It also does asynchronous calls to the system. http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/ ___ 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

All tools out there have advantages and disadvantages. As for offline DBs, Zinc and SWF Studio both have SQLite interfaces available. While Zinc´s is free, SS´ has much more features.

RE: [Flashcoders] tabIndex problems
Though I'm not sure whether or not it's been fixed with Flash 8, with 2004 MX, tabbing was an absolute nightmare. It didn't work properly in anything but absolutely simple scenarios. !k -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Fry Sent: May 9, 2006 3:02 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] tabIndex problems Hey there, I have been having some problems using the tabIndex feature with Flash 8 Pro. You can view the file here: http://132.162.36.103/albert/MUTH/ The problem is that, though I am confident that I have properly indexed all of the objects, the tabbing does not follow the index I provided. For instance, on the first page of the actual exam (this is a placement exam for a Music Theory course) the first question follows the index properly. The second question, however, insists on going across rather than down first. The similar problems occur on question 4 where the second part of the answer is selected, then the first. All of the objects that I have placed in the index are editable objects, and they all seem to get selected, just not according to the index I layed out. The only oddity is the Submit button which is a single object which exists across all of the frames. I dealt with this by just giving it the highest index on any frame in the hope that it would just work. I didn't see anything in the documentation which would suggest that this won't work, though I'm not really holding my breath. All other objects are in their frame alone and do not last across frames (or layers for that matter). Any suggestions would be appreciated... I'm wondering if there is some global setting I don't have on to use the tabIndex?? Didn't see anything in the documentation suggesting that, but thought it was possible.

Re: [Flashcoders] obfuscation swf !
Hi, is there a way to protect flash components? Unfortunalty encrypting breaks the components, but is there a tool to at least obfuscation them?

Hi John, I wouldn't say SWF Encrypt is absolute crap - though it took just minutes for us to bypass their initial 3.0 version. As per requests from our customers, we have been deliberately not bypassing it (but we gave no promises). Recently, it turned out it broke some of our applications (namely UAE and ASR) because our software does not preserve the tag order when saving a SWF file and the obfuscation moves real actionscript bytecode to other tags. We had to move the scripts back and though we didn't add even a single line of code to bypass the obfuscation, it turned out some of the scripts can now be decompiled. I'm sure SWF Encrypt guys can fix this quickly (or they already may have) because we are not actively trying to bypass the obfuscation. Current release version of ASR can show the script in fish_secure.swf, with the right options selected. We will have the same option with the ASV update (as it also uses the same decompiler engine), which will be released in 10 days (We hope to have it released by ASVs 6th anniversary - May 16). I'd agree that SWF Encrypt is currently a good choice.. But, one must not depend on it too much. Also, I'd suggest identifier renaming ( like http://www.genable.com/asolite.html ) in addition to any other obfuscation, as it will be non-reversible even in theory. It may require more work and care but I think it's worth it. Big thanks for the info.

[Flashcoders] Extension Manager / International Flash version problem
Hi everyone - I'm experiencing a problem loading MXP files in the latest version of Extension Manager and with users who have a non-English version of Flash 8. Specifically, here's what happens. Say for example a person has a French version of Flash 8 for OS X. They load an MXP into Extension Manager, and it confirms installation. But when you open Flash, the component installed by the MXP isn't there. Turns out Extension Manager creates an en directory and installs the extension to the Components folder in that directory. So you have to physically move the component from the en folder into the correct language folder in order for it to appear in the French version of Flash 8. Anyone seen / experienced this and know of a workaround? -- Todd Dominey ___ 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] Re: [Off List Response] for (var i in ..) loop interupted by frame change
If I remeber correctly, goToAndStop() and MoviClip.gotoAndStop() are
completely separate functions, and even have different behavior on
the root timeline.
