[Flashcoders] help with embedded fonts...

2006-07-11 Thread grimmwerks

It's got to be something stupid.

I'm using the textformatter from netdrims -- I've got an input
TextField that I only want Baskerville to be used - but the ability to
set the bold or italic is needed.

I've embedded the font in the field but when I set text as bold or
italic, it disappears.

What stupidity am I missing?

Hi grimm,
 You need to embed the italic and bold versions of the font, too.
Best bet is to stick all three in off-screen dynamic textfields
somewhere (or exported in your library).

I'm working on a puzzle game in flash, much similar to jigsaw puzzles you
see in gameHouse or such casual game publisher. I'm having a hard time
trying to cut an image to make it as puzzle pieces in AS2. Currently I'm
doing it the hard way, cloning bitmapData image, and masking portions of the
image. Can you cut parts on an image using bitmapData methods? And does
anyone know how to create the infamous jigsaw pattern to it as well?

Alternatively, enable the textField's HTML property and embed all the font
styles in the same field.

Re: [Flashcoders] jigsaw puzzle piece algorithm

2006-07-11 Thread Guntur N. Sarwohadi

Thanks guys for the reply. Now I have a better understanding on how to
achieve the effect. Currently i'm planning to provide vector puzzle pieces
as mask templates first. Once that's done, I would try to start working on
dynamically drawing the puzzle nubs and cutouts.. I like the review Neo
handed. It explains a lot what Hans described... One question though,
whether the sides are drawn by code or provided as vectors, how would you
combine 4 of them to make it as a filled masked vector shape using drawing
api?

One other thing, the puzzle I'm doing would allow users to move puzzle
pieces and combine them by side references (like, piece A is always in the
left of piece B, while D is always below A, for example). Now I've manage to
make each piece move other pieces in one group as a whole (using onMouseMove
for the dragger and onEnterFrame by calculating distance with the dragger
for the 'dragee') but it seems unoptimized and often lags (which shifts
pieces location) if you move the mouse fast. It would look unsticky. Does
anyone have an idea for a better algorithm?

thx,
Guntur N. Sarwohadi

PS. Neo, hows the TGB Isometric Add-On doing? :p

Re: [Flashcoders] jigsaw puzzle piece algorithm

2006-07-11 Thread Hans Wichman

Hi,
with respect to the combining pieces, why would you use onEnterFrame to
update the other pieces?
Of course I dont know the details of your implementation, but it would seem
that if you had puzzle clumps (in want of a better term), meaning groups of
already combined pieces you could either temporarily parent (meaning
recreating) the whole clump in a parent clip, and move the parent clip or do
something like:

puzzlePiece.onMouseMove = {
 get self.deltaxy
 if Puzzle.getGroup(self) == null then self.move(deltaxy)
else Puzzle.getGroup(self).move(deltaxy);
}

With respect to the masking and filling through the drawing api, my routine
looks like (in pseudo):
canvas.clear()
canvas.beginFill()
drawTop(canvas);drawRight(canvas);drawBottom(canvas);drawLeft(canvas);
canvas.endFill();

each draw routine picks up where the first left off, creating a closed shape
which can be filled as normal.

However if you had different sides drawn as vectors in flash, and convert
them to a symbol, and put four of them together, you can't do this, since 4
symbols together of course dont make a closed 'shape'.

One other thing though: did you know this one: http://somefrogs.com/
It might be all you need. It lacks a nice bevelled edge around the pieces,
which would have been easy to add to your drawn shapes, using a bevelfilter,
but it still is a very nice out of the box reusable puzzle component I
think.

Hi Hans,

Hmm.. I'm not sure what was I thinking when I was writing about
onEnterFrame, coz like you describe earlier, I didn't use any onEnterFrame
either.. gosh, this what happens when you don't have enough coffee with you
after 2 days of no sleep :p.. well, anyway, in onMouseMove, I broadcast to
piece group members to move as well, with the current piece as reference.
Currently I calculated the distance prior broadcast and as the current piece
moves, the piece group members would move in the same way without getting
off location... but it does.. when you move the mouse fast enough, it
displaces..

somefrogs.com... wow! that's so cool.. How you do such a thing?.. it blends
in and mostly, the pieces dont fall off when you move the mouse fast
enough!... how the...?..

anyone got an idea with my problem?

thx!

Re: [Flashcoders] jigsaw puzzle piece algorithm

2006-07-11 Thread Hans Wichman

Hi,
does it displace until you stop moving, or displace and screws it up
completely?
It sounds like either one of the updates you broadcast are not coming
through, or the updates are based on the wrong offsets. I assume that if you
move a group of 3, the 2 that should be moved automatically ARE displaced by
the same amount?
Just a shot in the dark here, but when you broadcast to the group, do you
skip the source of the event?
For example, normally in a group of 2, when you move one, you could either:
1) move the one you moved and dispatch an event to the other
2) create an event and dispatch to the group
3) move the one you moved and dispatch an event to the whole group

the 3rd option clearly is invalid, since one piece would be moved twice.

And with respect to the somefrogs.com, i had the same impression you had now
"how do they do that" a few weeks ago, and now i know: one step at a time:).
Once you have the mask, and the movement correct, you are 80% there;)

good luck!
JC

Hello,

I have following question.

I saw nike's unifrm builder, Nike Uniform
Builder(http://www.niketeam.com/v2/new/Sport...T=BBM&CAT=UNI), they built
uniform generator using Flash, the only thing wondering me is, how did they
manage to arch the text, if anybody has any clue then I would be very happy
to see little bit of action scripting.

I want different arching with click of a button or something like that, I am
attaching a sample of arching that I am looking for!

 If anybody figures it out. thanks,

[Flashcoders] Dynamic access of top-level variables in AS3

2006-07-11 Thread Chris McFadyen aka Grayson Carlyle

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how I can dynamically reference
variables passed via a GET string into the swf using this.


Hello :)

in AS3 you use directly variables in global when you use a new .as !


package
{

 static globalVariable = {} ; // your in topLevel !!!


 public class MainClass()
 {
   // first code in your Application

  // load your xml and use your global variable !!!

 }




}


EKA+ :)

Create an object in the global scope to contain your variables, let's call 
it "_global". Then reference it as:
_global[myVar];

Or if you don't like the idea of a global object, create a dynamic class 
to do the same.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic access of top-level variables in AS3

2006-07-11 Thread Derek Vadneau
No, you don't need to know the name of the variable. "myVar" isn't the 
name of the variable, it's a variable that holds the name of the variable.

So:
function getVar(myVar)
{
return _globla[myVar];
}

getVar("variableDelta");


You need to know the variable name at some point to create it and to 
address it. That is, your class doesn't need to know, but at some point in 
code a variable name is known, whether it's generated with a string 
concatenation or passed from another SWF/app/browser/etc.

Does that address your situation? If not, maybe you could explain how you 
want to use it?

Aha! The solution is to have the global object on the stage AS code:

var global = this;

Simple enough, but I was always trying to do it within an as file:

package {
 var global = this;

 class MyClass() { }
}

Which will cause a compile error for referencing "this" outside of a class.

Thanks guys.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic access of top-level variables in AS3

Hi,

You may want to check out flash.display.LoaderInfo[1]. It has a
property "parameters" that has all the variables passed to the swf via
querystring and flashvars. The DisplayObject at the top of the display
list will have a loaderInfo property with an instance of the
LoaderInfo class.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic access of top-level variables in AS3

2006-07-11 Thread Chris McFadyen aka Grayson Carlyle

Except for course that any variables you write on the stage aren't available
inside classes...

I guess the solution would be to figure out what 'this' is on the stage.

Doing trace(this); gives [object Timeline0_f07ac19cdfe1944b8711232f8d557a]
(with a different hash every time).

This isn't the flash.display.Stage object... anyone know what it is?

[Flashcoders] Output to Text File

2006-07-11 Thread kelly snyder
I am trying to find a way to get my Flash file read from and write to ASCII 
text files.  I would like to run the swf or exe file on my local machine, 
with an input test file and an output text file in the same directory.  The 
swf file would read from the input file and write to the output  file.  Is 
this possible?  Can I use javascript to achieve this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Output to Text File

2006-07-11 Thread Mike Boutin

I believe you would need to use something such as php for this.

Old school Flasher trick - works like a charm.  Nice suggestion for all
these code monkeys who forget (or never learned) "Flash" stuff and for
all the newbies who are still learning.  :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Output to Text File

2006-07-11 Thread Adrian Park

You can do it with something like Zinc ( http://www.multidmedia.com/ ) or
Jugglor (http://www.flashjester.com/).

There is also the open source Screenweaver (http://screenweaver.org/) which
can do this I think.

There are also other similar solutions - try
http://www.swftools.com/tools-category.php?cat=290 for a list (some of them
don't seem to exist anymore though).

I'd be very interested to know what you go with and what your experiences
are.

Re: [Flashcoders] Text Arching...

2006-07-11 Thread Bernard Poulin

uhoh... potential "help vampire" identified!

-

Just want to add a detail you did not mention:
The Nike uniform builder text style has two different types of "arching":

#1- "normal" (letters simply rotated individually following a path)
#2- "shear" (vertical lines stays vertical) --

#1 is easy to achieve - plenty of libraries, etc.  but,
#2 is more difficult to do -- I personnaly never saw something to do that.
You might have to do a manual shear operation with text rendered onto a
bitmap (would require flash player 8+).

This is an old thread now, I was out all last week, but I see nobody responded 
to you.  If you're still having this problem, then are you sure the wsdl is 
SOAP formatted correctly?  Also, what happens when you paste the url to the 
wsdl in your browser - do you see the soap form of the wsdl?  This looks like a 
problem with the webservice, not your Flash code.

You your application will be desktop(not online throught the browser),
you always can embed the swf inside a application that would list the

RE: [Flashcoders] Php Host

2006-07-11 Thread Palmer, Jim
www.voxel.net

I'm impartial because I used to work there a few years back. Busted but on
customer support. Glad I'm not answering phones anymore telling users why we
don't support PHP's default register_globals prior to PHP4 and PHP5.

There are a million and a half different hosts, mostly good no doubt - but
check out if any you're interested in have a track record via
www.webhostingtalk.com

It's worth a little research in the end.

RE: [Flashcoders] help with embedded fonts...

2006-07-11 Thread Palmer, Jim
On a side note, use setNewTextFormat() as well as setTextFormat() seeing as
it's an input field...

TextField.setTextFormat(TextFormat);
TextField.setNewTextFormat(TextFormat);

and yes you need to embed all the font glyphs, bold and italic.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Abstract classes in AS3?

2006-07-11 Thread Chris Allen

For compile time checks, just use a private constructor. As
ActionScript allows one to access a private (not really private) super
constructor in a subclass this works perfectly. At least this is what
I do when I need an Abstract class in ActionScript.

E.G.

class com.tomsnyder.fasttmath2.studentclient.activities.tasks.AbstractTask
{
  //private constructor to discourage instantiation
private function AbstractTask() {
//initialization code here
}
}

Now there's no way to instantiate it, and the compiler will bitch
about it if you try.

I hope that helps.

I am looking for a good Php host with decent customer support. Anyone
have recommendations?


I'd recommend www.dreamhost.net. I've been using them for a few years and 
they kick ass - you can do almost everything through their control panel 
with no hassle, but if you need human support, it's also good. I think some 
people at this list also use them and can share their opinions.

RE: [Flashcoders] Abstract classes in AS3?

2006-07-11 Thread Mike
Yeah, but what if you're doing an enumeration class, like so:

class TransitionState {
private function TransitionState() {
}
public static var NOT_PLAYED_IN:TransitionState = new
TransitionState();
public static var PLAYING_IN:TransitionState = new
TransitionState();
public static var PLAYED_IN:TransitionState = new
TransitionState();
public static var PLAYING_OUT:TransitionState = new
TransitionState();
public static var PLAYED_OUT:TransitionState = new
TransitionState();
}

I want to be able to assume that these are the only 5 TransitionState
objects in existence! (Okay, somebody could extend the class and make
more--are they adding "final" in AS3.0?)

Or what about static method classes? Why should something like this be
allowed?:

var stupid:Math = new Math();

Or, to return to the original topic, what if you want to do a
pseudo-abstract class?

Saying it's not ECMAScript doesn't fully answer the question--what is
ECMAScript's rationale for not allowing private constructors?

Re: [Flashcoders] Abstract classes in AS3?

2006-07-11 Thread Cédric Néhémie
I'm agree with Mike concerning the ECMAScript rationale :

>From the ECMA specifications
(http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ecma-st/ECMA-262.pdf)

7.5.3 Future Reserved Words
The following words are used as keywords in proposed extensions and are
therefore reserved to allow
for the possibility of future adoption of those extensions.
Syntax
FutureReservedWord :: one of
abstract enum int short
boolean export interface static
byte extends long super
char final native synchronized
class float package throws
const goto private transient
debugger implements protected volatile
double import public

There's no mention of any restrictions anywhere in the specifications,
seems it's a choice of Adobe to restrict the usage of the private
keyword for constructors.

About instanciate the Math class, there is an error in Run Time errors
section :

1075 - Math is not a constructor. You can not instantiate the Math class.

They probably use the same type of restrictions as we discussed before.

PS : sorry for my english too :( , french people and english don't
really works fine together :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Abstract classes in AS3?

2006-07-11 Thread eka

Hello :)

Yes for an enumeration you can use an internal class in your package and a
Singleton namespace.

"private" is good width a method and not a constructor.

You can use throw error to limit your constructor or use internal keyworld,
for me it's better !


EKA+ :)

RE: [Flashcoders] Abstract classes in AS3?

2006-07-11 Thread Francis Cheng
The official rationale can be found in Chapter 9 of the latest draft 
specification of ECMAScript 4th edition:


Rationale: making a constructor always public reinforces the user model of 
classes, like functions, as constructors. While other languages allow 
constructors methods to be made inaccessible to keep outside code from creating 
instances, this use case was not deemed important enough to complicate the 
language design. It is a compatible change to allow explicit access control 
namespace attributes in a later edition.


The entire draft specification can be found online at the Mozilla website:

http://developer.mozilla.org/es4/

If you are wondering why it would complicate the language design, my 
understanding is that the complication stems from ECMAScript's treatment of 
class objects and constructor methods. As one engineer described it to me, 
ECMAScript blurs the distinction between the two. Consequently, allowing access 
specifiers other than public on a constructor would require changes to the 
object model. This would have to be done carefully in order to preserve 
backward compatibility.

If you feel that private constructors are an important language feature, please 
add a feature request on the Adobe feature request/bug report form:

http://www.adobe.com/support/email/wishform

I'd recommend www.dreamhost.net. I've been using them for a few 
years and they kick ass - you can do almost everything through their 
control panel with no hassle, but if you need human support, it's 
also good. I think some people at this list also use them and can 
share their opinions.


I wouldn't recommend them; in fact, I'm moving a site from there to 
another host because of unreliability.  Check their status log from 
the last week:

http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/

On July 1, they were without outgoing email for almost 24 hours.  We 
had a lot of email delivery problems yesterday, so I emailed a 
support ticket to them (they don't have phone support), and didn't 
get a reply for over 24 hours.  I'm guessing they were unable to send 
it.  There are other server and mail management problems reported 
too. We're about to launch a site that requires fast email 
confirmation upon registration, and I don't feel I can rely on 
them.  Their support is usually pretty good, but I find it 
unacceptable to wait over a day for a reply to a problem considered 
mission critical.


And if you're wondering why they seem to get good reviews in a lot of 
places, it may be related to their policy of paying people to refer 
them.  I'm also pretty disappointed with most of the sites that 
review web hosting, which are in many cases not impartial.


That said, I have had good luck recently with www.westhost.com -- 
fast turnaround on support questions *eail, phone, or chat) and easy 
administration.

I agree.  Dreamhost has been good for me and mine, no more problems with 
them than would be normal with a hosting company, easy to use, and when 
I have questions about how to implement one of their many options, 
they've always come through for me and helped solve them (nothing that 
was their fault, just my inability to understand something) within 24 
hours. 

I didn't go with them because or reviews, but because of the price, 
options and service.

Without any question I would recomend, http://www.eleven2.com/ . They 
are really good, and have 24/7 support, plus you can contact them easily 
on AIM too.

RE: [Flashcoders] Abstract classes in AS3?

2006-07-11 Thread Mike
I don't really care whether they allow private constructors or not, as
long as they provide some way of accomplishing the same thing.
Specifically, I want to be able to:
1) Limit the number of instances of certain classes (singletons,
enumerations).
2) Have methods which are not attached to specific class instances.
3) Be able to create classes that cannot be instantiated themselves but
can be superclasses of concrete classes.

#3 for example, is much better implemented with the "abstract" keyword
than with private constructors, but AS3.0 doesn't have the "abstract"
keyword, so now there is no way to elegantly accomplish this (i.e., in
such a way that errors are caught at compile-time instead of runtime).

So, yeah, make all constructors public if you must, but give us some
other way to accomplish these things.

Re: [Flashcoders] Security Sandbox issue ...

2006-07-11 Thread Josh Santangelo
You're getting this because there is no file at http:// 
my.abcnews.go.com/crossdomain.xml which specifies "localhost" as a  
valid host for connecting to its resources. If you work for Disney,  
perhaps you can ask them to sit this up for you (not likely I think,  
even if you do work for them). Otherwise you'll have to set up some  
kind of proxy.


Google crossdomain.xml for more info.

Can anyone advise on this.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem while trying to connect to webservice...

2006-07-11 Thread Josh Santangelo
The WebServiceConnector component is used for connecting to SOAP- 
based web services. Make sure you are connecting to a service which  
is implemented in SOAP, and that you are using the URL to the WSDL  
version of the service. You can tell if the URL is correct because if  
you view it in a browser, you'll get a bunch of XML beginning with a  
 node.


If all that is true, then whomever developed the service you're  
consuming has messed up somehow. If you're using a service which is  
not implemented in SOAP, you can probably just use methods of the  
standard XML object to access it.

[Flashcoders] New preloader feedback

2006-07-11 Thread Marcelo de Moraes Serpa

Hello list,

I´ve redesigned my preloader including the logic/code behind it. Each star
represents a swf library being downloaded. It uses pixlib LibStack and
GraphicLib to handle the loading of multiple swfs easily. I would really
appreciate if you could take some of your time and visit my site as I need
to know of any bugs  before it gets too late to fix them. For me and some of
my friends, it worked ok.

The url: http://www.chapeco-online.com.br

Thanks in advance,

Marcelo.

RE: [Flashcoders] Php Host

I´ve got one of my sites (well, a vhost to be exact) on server4you, and
hadn´t had any trouble so far.
btw, english page is at http://www.server4you.com/

However, it´s always a good idea to not rely on only one hoster.
I´ve got sites/servers at 3 different hosters plus a backup at my hown which
I can link in pretty quickly.

Thanks for your help in finding a server. I decided to go with okihost 
because of the customer support. Within less than an hour I had my 
nameservers changed and was up and running. The price is right and I got 
immediate support.


Again, thanks again.

[Flashcoders] Copy & Paste into Firefox

2006-07-11 Thread mail

Hi,

This is really simple question but I can't seem to dig up an answer.  
"copy paste flash firefox" seems to match everything but what I need  
on Google. So sorry in advance for bringing up this topic which must  
have been covered before.


WTF is the problem with pasting text into the flash player on Firefox.  
I have an application that requires users to copy in a string for  
translation. Works fine on IE, but on latest version of Firefox  
running on XP or 2000Pro the keyboard shortcut to paste text from the  
clipboard won't work. Not unless you press it twice, then you get the  
text twice...


TextField, TextArea or TextInput component it make no difference, and  
I get the same thing when calling the swf from a html page or  
directly, eg. mydomain/test.swf. Right click paste works but I can  
hardly ask my users to do that now.


Any leads appreciated. Links, work arounds, anything.

Oh, the swf is compiled for the flash 7 player.

Thanks in advance.

Tony
