RE: [Flashcoders] sprouts data structure

[Scott Hyndman]

Wow, great question.

Needless to say, you can't figure these things out with vertices and edges 
alone, you're going to have to assign location to each vertex and use that to 
calculate the intersection...but that's where things get hazy. You probably 
don't want to brute force it, because your worst case gets bad. I'm sure there 
is some sort of clever math solution, but I've never been much of a 
mathematician.

So maybe you could do something visual. If your edges are drawn in one color, 
maybe you could check all the pixels in a line between the desired end points, 
and see if any of the pixels contain the edge color, in which case, don't allow 
the connection to be made.

I'll keep thinking about it though.

Subject:[Flashcoders] sprouts data structure

I have a request for a game called sprouts. The game starts with a few
randomly distributed dots. There is one move and 2 restrictions.
Move:   draw a line for a dot to itself (a loop) or to another dot.
Any line drawn has a new dot on it.
Restriction 1: no more than 3 lines from any dot.
Restriction 2: no lines can cross.

Simple game, but the data structure to keep track of the game and in
particular to handle restriction 2 is a bear. How do you tell when a
dot has been encircled by a line?

The game is, of course based on graph theory, and you can represent a
graph in several ways, but how to determine that it remains planar?

I haen't begun to think about the visual part of this, if I don't have
a reasonable data structure I can't teach a computer to play the game.

Any ideas? Hints? Wildly improbable ideas?

[Flashcoders] Accessibility, MSAA & Screenreaders

[Jamie Owen]

Hello All.

I am experimenting with Accessibility and trying to discover how 
screenreaders ( say JAWS ) respond to subsequent calls to 
Accessibility.updateProperties() after the swf is loaded and first read by 
the reader.


I'm no expert user of JAWS and all i've managed to get working is : HTTP 
response > JAWS starts reading > reaches flash file > Reads out content 
based on tab order and accProps  If i try and clear the accProps then 
renew their values ( as what would happen if the swf content changes ) and 
make a call to updateProperties() the content seems to stay the same.


Is there anyway to make the reader start reading the new content straight 
away as what happens when a new page loads?


Is anyone an expert screenreader user or knows how the average screen reader 
user handles a flash file?


Or can anyone shed some light on the whole Microsoft Active Accessibility 
and flash / screen reader business?


Cheers

Jamie

Re: [Flashcoders] v1 components in Flash 2004

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Even though they are relatively good quality, the v2 framework is indeed too
big and can ruin projects that need to stay at a limited kb rate (for
strictband connections for example)... my components.swf shared library is
70KB alone... it adds too much to my app´s size :/

I´m also interested in free v2 alternatives that are also small in size :)

[Flashcoders] Transparent background when exporting to QuickTime?

[Kevin Boyd (MMCR)]

Hi 
 
I am trying to export a simple scrolling text animation from Flash 8 (in
Flash 5 format as that's all QuickTime can handle) to QuickTime so I can use
it as titles in Avid Liquid 7. On the Export options in Flash I set Alpha to
Alpha-transparent but in Liquid it just has a white background and when I
check it's properties, it states it has no Alpha! 
 
Any hints where I'm going wrong on this?

[Flashcoders] Breakapart vs slicing an image

[Dennis - I Sioux]

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone knows what hapens to an image when you use flash 7 
and break it apart
Is it translated in many vector points or is it still an image with an build 
in mask (because you can slice away parts then)..


And does anyone know if it is precessor friendlier to slice an image into 
several jpg's.. or to just break apart and remove part of the image in 
flash?


Many thanks for the insight

With kind regards,

Dennis

RE: [Flashcoders] Text Height in MovieClip help!

I've noticed that some TextField properties do not update themselves until
the function that updated them finishes executing.  In other words, don't
do:

function(){
TextField.text = "foo";
trace(TextField._height);
}

I have sometimes used SetInterval to wait a tick before testing a property

Re: [Flashcoders] Saving images server-side...

[Glenn Mitchell]

Hi,


maybe I'm misunderstanding, but are you just marquee-ing an existing  
image, cropping and resizing ?

or is there more manipulation going on ?

when I first read your post, I thought that maybe you dont need to  
send any image data back to the server at all ? just a reference to  
the original image and the cropping resizing data ... then just  
process it with gdlib or similar


but, I'm prbably wrong :)

The thing is that the buttons are used as sensors, meaning that we use the
buttons to detect if some block is available (i.e. item isn't removed from
his stationary) now we want to be able to reorder this four block
elements. Only I am not sure how I can detect if the order, is a expected.
Because of the continous key events.

When I've done this in the past the thing to remember is that its a lot
easier if you use "Key.isDown" rather than "onKeyDown" and "onKeyUp" events.

counter = 1

onEnterFrame = function() {

if (Key.isPressed(firstKey) and orderHolder(firstKey)==null) {
  orderHolder(firstKey) = counter
  counter ++
}
if (Key.isPressed(secondKey) and orderHolder(secondKey)==null) {
.
etc for all the keys
}

BTW You can do this without ripping apart a keyboard using a gadget 
called a "keyboard encoder"

Type this into google for suppliers.

Hope this helps

Grant Skinner was the man who wrote recently saveBMP routine which
does exactly what you are looking for, IMHO.

Here is the relevant text entry at his blog ( no source code shared ;)

Re: [Flashcoders] Best SWF Wrapper

[Cedric Muller]

yes, I forgot that optimistic note about mProjector...


Seriously.  Stop f**king around and get mProjector.  I have coded  
against
many wrappers and mProjector by far is the best experience,  
period.  From
how the API works to the elegant and clever way it handles the  
system tray
icon (best solution I've seen) and direct communication between  
multiple
Flash windows (some others make you use LocalConnection - blech),  
etc. etc.


http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/

Now, if it doesn't have a feature you really need, then I guess  
it's not
going to work for you and that's unfortunate.  You'll have to  
struggle with
another wrapper that does have the feature you need but is a pain  
to work
with and is unstable, inefficient, and a pain to code against -  
three things

mProjector is absolutely not.

I've written full-blown desktop applications in mProjector that  
have run for

weeks without being shut down without a single issue.

I personally would avoid Zinc. Although we've used it successfully,
I've had two or three of their updates introduce bugs which

break our

products, and I've had to revert until a fix comes along.

The quality

control is just too shoddy.
