Hey everyone,

 

I'm having a problem using the tabStops property from within HTML text
in a dynamic textfield. I'm using CSS to format the text. I don't know
if my code is conflicting with itself or not. Here's what my code looks
like.

 

var myStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();

myStyle.onLoad = function() {

myText.styleSheet = this;

myText.html = true;

myText.htmlText = myHTML;

//format the tabs

var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

myformat.tabStops = [40, 80, 120, 160];

myText.setTextFormat(myformat);

};

//load the stylesheet

myStyle.load("myExternalCSS.css");

 

myHTML = \tSTRENGTH\tDURABILITY\tCONTROL\tEFFECTIVE

 

 

The tabs are recognized but they are only moving to default value of
4px. They are not recognizing the tabStops at all.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Scott

Re: [Flashcoders] Color.setRGB - no such method?

It can also be a simple ASO problem. Try clearing the .aso files.

I am unable to reproduce the error.

Created a movieclip and gave it the instance name "tmp", copied and pasted
the code directly from your email, and it compiles with no errors (and
turns the movieclip red).

RE: [Flashcoders] Color.setRGB - no such method?

2006-05-17 Thread Byron Canfield

I have neither Flex nor Flash Player 9 -- I suspect your conclusion is
correct. Wild hair (is Flash 9 player beta?): might want to see if it's a
case issue, and use a different name for the color object (i.e., Flash 6
player would also reject "color" for use as an object name, as it was not
case sensitive and "color" was a reserved word).

RE: [Flashcoders] Color.setRGB - no such method?

2006-05-17 Thread Jim Robson

Thank you both for your help!

It turns out the problem had to do with the CLASSPATH settings and the fact
that another developer on my team had created a Color class in a different
namespace. The result was that Flash was grabbing this custom Color class
instead of the intrinsic one. 

Sorry for the wild goose chase. :-\

It's going to depend on how the data is stored in the Word documents. I use 
Windows myself, but I've written a fair few VBScript automation tools in my 
time and you can achieve pretty much anything. If the data is already 
structured cleanly, then you should be able to automate the process (a good 
way to start is to record a macro of yourself doing the work, then edit the 
script that the macro generates).

the code below works on my computer (xp sp1 - centrino 1.6Ghz - 512Mo 
RAM - Flash MX 2004 IDE )


radio = new Sound();
radio.setVolume(100);
radio.loadSound("http://216.235.91.30:80",true);


Maybe it's a probleme with the onEnterFrame function(infinite loop or 
something?)

Any help is appreciated.

[Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader - onProgress

2006-05-17 Thread Wendy Richardson

I am trying to use the MovieClipLoader and onProgress in a way similar 
to this example:

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=2546.html

I use the onProgress to send info to function that visualizes the 
preload status.  Works great when I test in flash (using control-enter, 
and running as a download simulation).  However, when uploading the swf 
files (loader and loaded) to a server, the onProgress function does not 
seem to get hit.  Movie may take 10s to load, but I cannot get responses 
from the functions onProgress, onInit, etc,  (via tracing to a text 
field).


Has anyone come across this or have a workaround?  I see similar 
problems as I research this, but I'm not coming up with an answer.


Thanks
Wendy

[Flashcoders] help: ScrollPane Issue

2006-05-17 Thread julian atienza


Hi.

I've developed a swf that dynamically create a serie of typical components
of forms (inputText, TextArea, labels, etc) during the user-entries in
certain cases.

I tried to create an external swf with a scrollPane with the contentPath of
this swf so , i thought, if during the dynamic creation of controls i'm
above the height of scrollPane, a ScrollBar could appear.

Nothing more far of reality: the scrollPane doesn't create ScrollBars if swf
dynamically changes height or contents...

HAve i made something wrong, or this is like is it?

thanks

[Flashcoders] hitTest vs onRollOver/onRollOut

2006-05-17 Thread phaedrus

Does anyone know if there is a performance difference between hitTest and
onRollOver/onRollOut?

For instance, if I had 100 movie clips on a lower-spec computer, would there
be a notable processing difference between these two approaches:

myMC.onMouseMove = function() { 
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,true)) {
trace("Roll Over");
} else {
trace("Roll Out");
}
}

Or

myMC.onRollOver = function() {
trace("Roll Over");
}
myMC.onRollOut = function() {
trace("Roll Out");
}

I've also got some concerns regarding using _root._xmouse (etc) based on the
comments at:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.ht
m?href=Part4_ASLR2.html
but I've not yet looked to deeply into working around it (presumably by not
using _root).  However, if anyone knows that the situation is unresolvable,
that'd be good to know.

Sorry, just a quick answer, as I'm already on the go:

It's surely a matter of a missing "crossdomain.xml" file on the site
where the file(s) to load reside. Look for "crossdomain.xml" at
macromedia.com or elsewhere, try
http://www.coolsnacks.de/crossdomain.xml as a valid for all example file.

Furthermore I recommend using remote debugging - if you debug the thing
while running on the target website, and it really IS the
crossdomain-matter, then you will see a sandbox violation error message!
If this message does not appear, then it's another thing and you can
ignore the crossdomain file.

If you have never dealt with a crossdomain.xml, then the documents on
the web can get very confusing, that's why I proposed the ready-made
crossdomain.xml above. It allows every (that's what the asterisk stands
for) foreign website's flash movie to load all the swf's from the site
where the xml resides.


Good luck,
Roman.

[Flashcoders] overriding button class internal positioning

2006-05-17 Thread Vibol Hou


Greetings,

I've reviewed the class reference for the Button component, but there 
does not appear to be any reference on how I might override the specific 
x,y positioning values of the icon and text field objects within the Button.


Does anyone know of a more detailed description of the Button component 
and/or the actual code implementation for it such that I can override 
what I must to position the elements myself?

[Flashcoders] Optimization techniques

2006-05-17 Thread Marcelo de Moraes Serpa


Hi!

I´m doing a research on RIA´s optimization techniques and I plan to
implement such in my app´s next version as its getting bigger and bigger so
it became a necessity to optimize it.

Currently, I´m using shared fonts, shared symbols and shared classes (the so
called "dll" swf) that are all loaded once in the application lifetime,
avoiding the download redundancy and optimizing the size of the subsequent
swfs. However, my application is still not fast as I would like it to be,
the main reason is obvious, it uses too many classes (and v2 framework adds
a great deal to the class inventory). The second reason is becouse of the
nature of my app: Its an online picture album. The images are stored in 1MP
at the server and each time the client requests the image, its converted
(scaled down) at runtime using GD. It´s very flexible as I can make many
different size images without worring about saving them, however, and I
would like the oppinion of more experienced web developers, I think it would
bring me problems when my site gets a very high trafic AND it is slower than
if I would just load the image without pre-processing it.

Also, I´ve not implemented controls such as to prevent the client to
redownload the picture if it is already downloaded - how could I do that?
Something that came into my mind is to use SharedObjects to cache data and
some logic to implement such thing.

Any suggestions would be very much appreaciated!

Thanks,

- Marcelo.

[Flashcoders] The effects of the Flash 8 security model on windowSWF Files

2006-05-17 Thread Manuel Saint-Victor


I have a windowSWF file that is interacting with the file system.  At first
it is able to do a login to retrieve information from the server but after a
logout the login call to the server no longer works.  It is able to function
from within the testing environment and my best guess is that since the
windowSWF file is operating from the panel it may be behaving as a
standalone file and might therefore be hindered by the restrictions that
prohibit swf files to use both local and network assets.  Can anyone guide
me on this or substantiate my suspicion.  I've googled myself to death about
it to no avail.

I'm having a problem using the tabStops property from within HTML text

myText.html = true;

myText.htmlText = myHTML;

//format the tabs

var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

myformat.tabStops = [40, 80, 120, 160];

myText.setTextFormat(myformat);

};

//load the stylesheet

myStyle.load("myExternalCSS.css");

 

myHTML = \tSTRENGTH\tDURABILITY\tCONTROL\tEFFECTIVE

 

 

The tabs are recognized but they are only moving to default value of
4px. They are not recognizing the tabStops at all.

 

Any help is appreciated.

correct location.  What is the absolute location?  

I've tried using:
A. "../../sometext.txt" 
B. "/home/username/sometext.txt"
C. "http://www.mywebsite.com/sometext.txt";

..and other variations on this theme.
 
What am I missing?
 
Oh, and I've also looked into the possibility that
the text document is seen as outside the domain and
added a crossdomain.xml document to address possible
security restrictions for data loading.  Didn't have
a visible impact.

Thank you in advance!

[Flashcoders] Local Shared Objects

2006-05-17 Thread Jason Saelhof

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to get a Local Shared Object (LSO) to share data between 2
flash windows. The first movie creates the LSO and can write to it. The
second movie can then get a reference to the shared object and read the
data set by movie 1. The problem occurs when movie 2 tries to change
that data and flush it to the disk. Movie 1 doesn't get the change. If I
close movie 1 and re-open it, it can now see the changes. This makes me
think that each instance of the Flash Player is working from a "cached"
copy of the LSO. Can anyone confirm this behavior? Does anyone know a
way to force the movies to always refer to the disk when reading values
from the LSO?

 

Jason.

[Flashcoders] FDT question.

I decided to start using FDT because of all the features. I recently 
worked with a guy who used it and was able to show me all the 
capabilities of it. I got eclipse and installed FDT. but some of the 
features don't seem to work. for example the task list. The parser error 
notifications dont work either. like it will tell you that your missing 
semicolons and what not..


http://www.actionscript.com/Article/tabid/54/ArticleID/Optimizing-Your-Workflow-with-Eclipse-and-FDT/Default.aspx

that is an article I was reading to test the features out. but a lot of 
them don't work. These also don't work, Quick Type Hierarchy, Quick 
Outline, f5, f4, f3. And also the outline pane doesn't do anything when 
I have a class open.


does anyone have any idea what is going on? shouldn't I just be able to 
install FDT and use all these features. By the way I installed the demo. 
I'm wondering if that is why it's not working..


I also noticed that when I try to do a quick type hierarchy ( ctrl + t) 
it says : 'could not perform operation' in the lower left in red. is 
that because it's a demo?


I don't need anything that FAME uses right? except mtasc of course.

thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] fp9 ExternalInterface bug?

2006-05-17 Thread Nicolas Cannasse


Remember that this is a beta, so there are going to be issues.

We have recently fixed a bunch of issues with eternal interface 
(including the ones mentioned by Geoff).


I've been also experiencing a lot of problems with Flash8 
ExternalInterface, like the need to quote "\\n" to "n" in order to 
get the string passed between Flash and JS without modifications.


How theses fixes will affect backward compatibility ?

Re: [Flashcoders] FDT question.

2006-05-17 Thread Julien Vignali

Hi Aaron,
It's probably because you need to add your source folder in FDT's
classpath. Do a right-click on the root folder of your classes and
select Source Folder -> Add to classpath. Now all your features should
work...

Hope it helps,
Julien

RE: [Flashcoders] FDT question.

2006-05-17 Thread Jason Saelhof

I use FDT and haven't had any of the problems you mentioned. I use the
task list, F3, F4, F5, parser error notifications, outline etc all the
time. I'm not sure what problem you are having but I can verify that
those features do all work in the demo version as well as the licensed
version.

For the record, here's the version of eclipse that I'm using...

Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.1.2
Build id: M20060118-1600

[Flashcoders] textfield.type no effect?! flash8 bug?

2006-05-17 Thread eugen pflüger


hello,

couldnt find anything in the archives.
is this a flash 8 bug?

changing "textfield.type" dynamically has just no effect.

// code
var me = this;
this.on_btn.onRelease = function ()
{
me.field.type = "input";
}

this.off_btn.onRelease = function ()
{
me.field.type = "dynamic";
}
// code end

tracing "field.type" outputs a change (from "input" to "dynamic" and  
back again).
but the behaviour just depends on what i was setting in the ide. when  
i set it to "input" it remains an input textfield. if i set it to  
"danamic" it always stays a dynamic textfield.

isnt it supposed to be changed dynamically? am i missing something?

We are working on a "whitepaper" to give Adobe SWF engineers - hope to have

to multi-threaded Python and single-threaded Flash (for the most part)... in

Re: [Flashcoders] Optimization techniques

2006-05-17 Thread Ian Thomas


Hi Marcelo,
 The obvious optimisation would be to cache the scaled images on the
server - save them under a name dependent on the dimensions of the
generated image.
E.g.
trees.jpg
becomes
cache/trees_400x300.jpg

Then when you serve the image, just check to see if the file is in the
cache - if it is, serve that, if not then regenerate before serving
it.

I've done that on image galleries a lot and it works fine.

In terms of stopping the user redownloading the image - if the image
is served as a 'standard' static image, the client's local cache
should take care of it without you having to do any work.

In short - all those optimisations should be possible serverside
without you having to do anything at all to your Flash code.

HTH,
 Ian

Also, I´ve not implemented controls such as to prevent the client to
redownload the picture if it is already downloaded - how could I do that?
Something that came into my mind is to use SharedObjects to cache data and
some logic to implement such thing.

Any suggestions would be very much appreaciated!

Hi Ian! Thanks for the reply ;)

IThat could solve the problem with my current architecture, but I guess I
will just store many different versions of the image **on the disk** instead
of using gd each time the users requests the image.

See the topic at as.org:

the flv plays fine but if I use:

var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
vid.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play("rtmp://path to my .flv");

If I remember right, this is incorrect:

connection_nc.connect(null);

connection_nc.connect(); should be somethign different whe you're
using a straming server.  null is only for progessive download-encoded
flv's.

Also, the ns.play() command for streaming cannot have the .flv at the
end.  I think your code is for progessive flv playback. I may be wrong
but I remember something like that being an issue for me once.

If by "root directory" you mean the root directory of your web server, you
will not be able to do this unless you've created a virtual mapping pointing
to this directory within your web server configuration. Only files within
the root directory and its subdirectories, or within virtual directories,
will be accessible via HTTP.

RE: [Flashcoders] Local Shared Objects

2006-05-17 Thread Jason Saelhof

I did try getting a reference to the Shared Object again using...

 myVar = SharedObject.getLocal( ... ); 

... but it didn't seem to help. I basically set it up so that each time
it tried to read from the object it would get a new reference first.

[Flashcoders] load data

Yes, that seems to be the consensus. Dave, thank you
for the confirmation. I'll quit barking up the wrong
tree.

The reason I was trying to do this is because it
seemed like an easy way to protect data in a .swf.  If
the .swf was decompiled, all the data would remain
tucked away out of reach. 

Also this would allow one movie to be reused as a
template over and over again.  To add the data, it
would be called in dynamically via a text document.
Easy to update and to add new movies with different
content. Or that was the theory anyway. :-) 

Does anyone have any ideas on how dynamically add data
for ease and security? I'm open to new ideas.

(turns out it really doesnt like it when you use an array of xmlnodes'

[Flashcoders] netstream and seeking. high fps.

so looking at netstreams and being able to seek in them. I found that 
you need really high frame rates, or a lot of keyframes. because flash 
uses the closest keyframe to whatever seek time you go to. so if I have 
a 30 second video encoded at 30fps. there is only like 2 keyframes. so 
when this is the case if you seek it only goes to either the very 
beginning of the video or the very end, I have tested this with my 
components and macromedia's standard components. there isn't any in 
between. I have read about this in various place and what not. I just 
wanted to hear from somebody else who also had experience with this 
issue. the solution is just to export flv's at a high frame rate. so you 
get way more keyframes. right?


after sayng and asking that. how does youtube seek? they must be using 
flash media server that has some more capabilities??

RE: [Flashcoders] netstream and seeking. high fps.

2006-05-17 Thread Caleb E. Brown

I'm pretty sure youtube is using progressive downloads.  You can't access any 
given point in a video until it is completely downloaded unlike streams where 
you can seek any position from the beginning.  i'm working on a a site that 
uses fms right now.  http://www.veotag.com  it's for longer videos and can make 
it so that you can add descriptions to videos and then search on those 
descriptions.

Youtube uses simple, progressive download. They don't use Flash Media Server 
(they don't need to, so if they're using it's for something else).


Seeking, yes, you can only "seek" to keyframes. You can try seeking to 
keyframes then going forward, it's fast for most purposes, but you can't do, 
say, a smooth rewind with that. You can do a frame-by-frame move forward 
though.


If you want the real ultimate complete seeking capability, you don't need 
"high frame rate". You need different stuff - like still having 30fps, but 
using one keyframe for each 1 or 2 frames. So it would be a "high keyframe 
rate" maybe. The best value depends on your solution. Too many keyframes 
basically nulls out the advantage of using a video file though.



From what I've tested, YouTube uses the same old 1key frame each 30 frames.

D:/cconline3.1/servidor/htdocs/website/app/webroot/data/albuns/77c550e6b3171fe7e28d97ef9cec52ca/view/DSC9.JPG,
and, even though the file exists, MovieClipLoader just doesn´t load it!
Weird! What could be happening? Its being played in Flash Player 8 and the
swf is version 7.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Flashcoders] netstream and seeking. high fps.

or you can use VCS (cheaper then fms) from www.onlinelib.de

they server allows ms (milliseconds) accurate seeking.

between. I have read about this in various place and what not. I just
wanted to hear from somebody else who also had experience with this
issue. the solution is just to export flv's at a high frame rate. so you
get way more keyframes. right?
after sayng and asking that. how does youtube seek? they must be using
flash media server that has some more capabilities??


Youtube uses simple, progressive download. They don't use Flash Media 
Server (they don't need to, so if they're using it's for something else).


Seeking, yes, you can only "seek" to keyframes. You can try seeking to 
keyframes then going forward, it's fast for most purposes, but you can't 
do, say, a smooth rewind with that. You can do a frame-by-frame move 
forward though.


If you want the real ultimate complete seeking capability, you don't need 
"high frame rate". You need different stuff - like still having 30fps, but 
using one keyframe for each 1 or 2 frames. So it would be a "high keyframe 
rate" maybe. The best value depends on your solution. Too many keyframes 
basically nulls out the advantage of using a video file though.


From what I've tested, YouTube uses the same old 1key frame each 30 
frames.

RE: [Flashcoders] load data

Steven,

Interesting theory. I've never been accused of being a
guy before. :-) I thought this forum was the exact
place to ask these sorts of questions actually. 
Should I read between the lines that you have a
wonderful solution you are bursting to share? Or is
this a techie version of a pickup line? 

I'd prefer to stick to Actionscript if that's okay
with the group.

Yes, that seems to be the consensus. Dave, thank you
for the confirmation. I'll quit barking up the wrong
tree.

The reason I was trying to do this is because it
seemed like an easy way to protect data in a .swf.  If
the .swf was decompiled, all the data would remain
tucked away out of reach.

Also this would allow one movie to be reused as a
template over and over again.  To add the data, it
would be called in dynamically via a text document.
Easy to update and to add new movies with different
content. Or that was the theory anyway. :-)

Does anyone have any ideas on how dynamically add data
for ease and security? I'm open to new ideas.

RE: [Flashcoders] load data

I'm only messin around.  I wasn't actually following the thread, nor do I
think that anything you're asking is out of line.  I wasn't even making
commentary on your line of questioning.  I just thought it was funny that
you were using the pseudonym Flashgrrl, especially since I tend to like
girls who refer to their digital selves as grrl.

[Flashcoders] Strange FLV behaviour

2006-05-17 Thread Chandresh Murti

Hi All

I am facing a strange behavior of the FLV files I am working on a
program, which plays multiple FLV's one after another. But,in Win 2000
machines at some points (randomly) the audio mutes automatically and
Video keep going onwards. At the same time when FLV's audio mutes the
MP3 audio loaded in the program plays fine. Any idea about this issue.
This is not occurring on Windows XP machines. Please respond back if
anybody have clue about this.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Chandresh++

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Media Server tutorial not working

2006-05-17 Thread Vivek lakhanpal


Hi Aasim,

As you mentioned you have Windows XP.It has been mentioned in the Technical
requirement of FMS that it will work only on Windows 2000 Server or Windows
2003 Server of Windows platform.

I doubt if your FMS is working at all.

You can try Flash Comm server 1.5 instead of FMS it will install on Win XP
and your example will work from Flash Comm.

For Flash Comm
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashcom/productinfo/systemreqs/

For Flash Media Server
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/productinfo/systemreqs/

Right now it's working from remote location because FMS is working over
there.

Thanks,
Vivek.
