[Flashcoders] Random numbers?
Can someone help me understand why the randRange function below doesn't
return a random distribution, but the randRange2 function does?
Here's some test code.
thanks, - rajat
var a = [0,0,0,0,0];
var b = [0,0,0,0,0];
var x;
for (var i=0; i 1000; i++) {
x = randRange(1,4);
a[x]++;
x = randRange2(1,4);
b[x]++;
}
trace (a: + a);
trace (b: + b);
// --
// Generate a random number in a range.
function randRange(min, max) {
var randomNum = Math.round(Math.random()*(max-min))+min;
return randomNum;
}
// Generate a random number in a range.
function randRange2(min, max) {
var randomNum = min + Math.floor(Math.random() * (max + 1 - min));
return randomNum;
}

I encountered this strange quirk recently as well. I found the most reliable
solution is to duplicate your project folder, open and recompile from that
folder, close and continue working from your original folder and everything
is fine (for a while)!
No amount of deleting ASO cache solves it (in fact, some say it compounds
the problem).
Here is an extensive outline of the problem which a) doesn't seem to provide
a solution (other than saying you can safely ignore the error) and b)
doesn't suggest how to prevent the problem arising.

If anyone can shed any more light on how to prevent this quirk, I'd be
grateful.

Re: [Flashcoders] butterfly animation
I had to create a butterfly animation for a client a while ago. After messing around for a bit, I decided that it was the kind of thing that could be done better using traditional timeline animation. The reason being that the butterfly's wings stretch and bend in all sorts of complicated ways while it's flying. To get all those curves right with actionscript might be doable, but it would be hairy. If you don't need that level of realism, actionscript is a more tenable solution - I'd google actionscript inverse kinematics... Anyway, it's not code, but here you go... http://www.jimkremens.com/dev/demo/butterfly/index.html Jim Kremens On 7/21/06, Doug Tangren [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: does anybody here have a link for a good actionscript butterfly animation?

[Flashcoders] sequential tweens ?
Hi All,
I need some ideas how to workaround the following situation
I have na mc as an holder for some photoStrip this photoStrip has n
photos as mcs in it I want to produce some tween over each one BUT
the next tween should only begin after the previous has finished
as I don´t know how many photos are ther and as I´m using DepthManager class
to to set up the photos into the PhotoStrip
I begin using for in to trasverse the strip but I´m stucked here with some
clever idea about how to chain these tweens, any help,please ?
for (var prop in photoStrip)
{
if (prop != _childCounter)
{
var animPhotoX:Tween = new Tween (photoStrip[prop], _xscale,
Bounce.easeOut, 100, 120, 0.5, true);
var animPhotoY:Tween= new Tween (photoStrip[prop], _yscale,
Bounce.easeOut, 100, 120, 0.5, true);
animPhotoY.onMotionFinished = function()
{
// would be the next tween something like
}
}
}
}
I know that inside the the strip the mcs are named as childDepth0 to
childDepthN-1 being N the number of photos placed in it
I tryed something with a for photoStrip[depthChild + i] but it didn´t
work, since the for runs for all values of the control variable not caring
about if motionFinished has occurred or not
The last idea I had, but it seemed too dirty would be to have an SetInterval
checking from time to time if the currente Tween ended and then increment
i and clear it after the last tween happen.
I need something like an (irch) GOTO or some Design Pattern
techinique I do not master at this point.

Re: [Flashcoders] sequential tweens ?
Hi All, I need some ideas how to workaround the following situation I have na mc as an holder for some photoStrip this photoStrip has n photos as mcs in it I want to produce some tween over each one BUT the next tween should only begin after the previous has finished João, Your best bet would be to use some better tweening engine that allows delays. That way you could fire all your tweens at once without having to worry about setting callbacks or other events when each tween is finished - you just give a increasingly bigger delkay for each photo. Not only this makes some clearer and more straightforward code, but you could even animate it in a way that the photos' tweening time intersect each other, without being dependent on chained events. For this task I'd recommend mc tween, laco's tween, or the fuse kit. Any of them will do what you want, and there's probably a few more that I'm forgetting about. You *could* do it with your onMotionFinished event. You'd need to setup a function that fires the animation, and each photo would have to fire the animation on the next one. It's simple, but it's awkward and counterproductive. And really, this kind of need is something that comes up so frequently when animating an interface that using a class or extension that supports delays instead is your best bet. - Zeh ___ 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] sequential tweens ?
i think the setInterval thing would work just fine. you could pass the same
time to the interval that you do to the tween.
or you could do somehthing like this:
//if pics are loaded dynamically, these can be set dynamically
var mcNum:Number = 1;
var mcMax:Number = 4;
function nextTween(){
var theMc:MovieClip = this[mc + mcNum];
var theTween:Tween = new Tween(theMc, _x, Strong.easeInOut, theMc._x,
theMc._x - 85, 1, true);
theTween.onMotionFinished = function(){
mcNum++;
if(mcNum = mcMax){
nextTween();
}
}
}
nextTween();

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3, BitmapData and domain security
I don't see the point of restricting access to BitmapData from another server when all you have to do to get at it is use a proxy script on your own server. Here's an example: http://www.neave.com/temp/proxy.php?proxy_url=http://www.google.com/ intl/en/images/logo.gif I was doing something similar in Director a few years ago and ended up having to rename my php script to proxy.jpg and editing my .htaccess file for that directory to execute a .jpg as a php script (using AddHandler, IIRC).

Natalia,
You can search the archive and find recent threads concering jigsaw
puzzle
algorithm. In fact, thats the thread I started.. that's why I (and
Hans)
know it's there ^_^
But to answer you question...
1. flash 8 has provided a bitmapData class, it's really good handling
bitmaps so you can use the copyPixel method and but it in n movieClips
on
it. For jigsaw drawing, you can use flash drawing api.. especially the
curveTo method. Basically it's only one type of curving and it is
repeated
for each side with variations being it inward or out..
2. group and blending two pieces isn't that hard actually, as long as
the
pieces are placed in the right position it will look as one. The drop
shadow
is done by code and updated, while the center curve fading can also be
done
by code.. sure, it's a little complex than droptarget and hittest but
it
can
be done :D
hope that helps

Re: [Flashcoders] jigsaw puzzle
Hi,
what exactly do you mean, it has a config different from the mask shape?
The only thing that seems 'off' to me is the starting index in the mask
sides, which starts with 1 instead of zero, but that might be perfectly ok
depending on how you built the array.
Could you show a screendump of what you describe?

Natalia,
You can search the archive and find recent threads concering jigsaw
puzzle
algorithm. In fact, thats the thread I started.. that's why I (and
Hans)
know it's there ^_^
But to answer you question...
1. flash 8 has provided a bitmapData class, it's really good
handling
bitmaps so you can use the copyPixel method and but it in n
movieClips
on
it. For jigsaw drawing, you can use flash drawing api.. especially
the
curveTo method. Basically it's only one type of curving and it is
repeated
for each side with variations being it inward or out..
2. group and blending two pieces isn't that hard actually, as long
as
the
pieces are placed in the right position it will look as one. The
drop
shadow
is done by code and updated, while the center curve fading can also
be
done
by code.. sure, it's a little complex than droptarget and hittest
but
it
can
be done :D
hope that helps

i think the setInterval thing would work just fine. you could pass the same

or you could do somehthing like this:

var mcNum:Number = 1;

Re: [Flashcoders] sequential tweens ?
Well I made some through the onMotionFinished but your app is fully dependent on all tweens having their opening job done, the app logic gets hidden inside a series of onMotionFinished wich you have to navigate through one by one. For example I´m doing a CD where I have a lot of opening activity and only after it I set the menus and display containers when I did it at first time I had just one function call createCD() and as all actions were sequentially dependents, to understand what the app did it was necessary to go from one function after another till I got the last one I was wondering about some colection or queue scheme where some animators objects ( object to be tweened, tweening properties ) would implement some interface and the complete animation chain would be achived in a FOR IN loop through the collection, am I missing something here ? I´d rather to invest more in code clarity than in some special tricks, even working for some time with OO I still have preference to realize what the app is doing in some structured fashion, maybe I´m overstressing it -) thanks for your time João Carlos - Original Message - From: Zeh Fernando [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 1:52 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] sequential tweens ? Hi All, I need some ideas how to workaround the following situation I have na mc as an holder for some photoStrip this photoStrip has n photos as mcs in it I want to produce some tween over each one BUT the next tween should only begin after the previous has finished João, Your best bet would be to use some better tweening engine that allows delays. That way you could fire all your tweens at once without having to worry about setting callbacks or other events when each tween is finished - you just give a increasingly bigger delkay for each photo. Not only this makes some clearer and more straightforward code, but you could even animate it in a way that the photos' tweening time intersect each other, without being dependent on chained events. For this task I'd recommend mc tween, laco's tween, or the fuse kit. Any of them will do what you want, and there's probably a few more that I'm forgetting about. You *could* do it with your onMotionFinished event. You'd need to setup a function that fires the animation, and each photo would have to fire the animation on the next one. It's simple, but it's awkward and counterproductive. And really, this kind of need is something that comes up so frequently when animating an interface that using a class or extension that supports delays instead is your best bet. - Zeh ___ 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 ___ 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] sequential tweens ?
couldnt you just use 2 methods in your class to control the sequence of tweens?
// Start a tween for a photo
private function tweenPhoto()
{
var animPhotoX:Tween = new Tween (photoStrip[currentIndex], _xscale,
Bounce.easeOut, 100, 120, 0.5, true);
var animPhotoY:Tween= new Tween (photoStrip[currentIndex], _yscale,
Bounce.easeOut, 100, 120, 0.5, true);
// Get the tween to call us back when its finished
animPhotoY.onMotionFinished = Delegate.create(this,tweenFinished);
}
// Tween finished
private function tweenFinished()
{
currentIndex++;
if(currentIndex == numberOfPhotos)
{
// The sequence is complete
// do something, dispatch an event, call a method etc.. :)
}
else
{
startTween(currentIndex);
}
}
Then to start the whole show just make sure currentIndex and numberOfPhotos are
setup correctly and call tweenPhoto();
e.g.
private function createPhotos(photolist:Array)
{
// photo creation stuff here
currentIndex = 0;
numberOfPhotos = photolist.length;
tweenPhoto();
}
no need for intervals or anything fancy.
hope thats what you mean.

I can't recommend Zeh's MC Tween enough...you can sequence the tweens
and even have
callbacks when the tween is finished to call a function.

[Flashcoders] double-byte text entry in windowless mode
Hi All, I'm having difficulty entering any double-byte text in a standard input text box, when the flash movie is embedded in either wmode transparent or opaque. Using the default wmode = window, I can switch my IME to Korean, Arabic or whatever and text will enter perfectly. Once I embed using either of the winowless modes, I get junk in my text box when using anything other than standard english text. Does anyone have any ideas?

I can not find your thread in the archive. Do you have this

any

creating many puzzles looks fantastic. Is it possible?

Natalia,
You can search the archive and find recent threads concering
jigsaw
puzzle
algorithm. In fact, thats the thread I started.. that's why I (and
Hans)
know it's there ^_^
But to answer you question...
1. flash 8 has provided a bitmapData class, it's really good
handling
bitmaps so you can use the copyPixel method and but it in n
movieClips
on
it. For jigsaw drawing, you can use flash drawing api.. especially
the
curveTo method. Basically it's only one type of curving and it is
repeated
for each side with variations being it inward or out..
2. group and blending two pieces isn't that hard actually, as long
as
the
pieces are placed in the right position it will look as one. The
drop
shadow
is done by code and updated, while the center curve fading can
also
be
done
by code.. sure, it's a little complex than droptarget and hittest
but
it
can
be done :D
hope that helps

Hi to all
Can anybody give me advice for creating game like this?
http://www.magickeys.com/books/jigsaws/cheetah_1/e.html
1. How can I create each time different pieces? I can only
guess
that
there are some sets with different shapes and they
attached
as
mask.
2. When pieces are correct new pieces appear. How this is
done?
How
they determinate that? This is not droptarget or hittest.

Re: [Flashcoders] sequential tweens ?
couldnt you just use 2 methods in your class to control the sequence of
tweens?
// Start a tween for a photo
private function tweenPhoto()
(...)
You see, that's what I'm totally against when writing code:
overcomplication. Going around and around and around to come back and do
something quite small.
Martin, do not take this personally, I don't mean to sound rude or anything,
I'm sorry in advance if I do, and your code totally makes logical sense and
it's 100% correct, but... WHY would someone need so much code just to
produce sequential tweenings? A bunch of specialized functions just to make
it work? And then suppose he has an slightly different animation he wants to
do at the same time, will he need new functions, or add parameters to those
functions, and so long and so forth? Why something so convoluted for
something so simple? Simply because the tweening doesn't support delays? :(
Going back to the original post: if I were to code that using MC Tween (I'll
use my code as an example, because I'm not so acquainted with other
extension's code). Anyways, I'd do it like this:
var delay = 0;
for (var prop in photoStrip) {
if (prop != _childCounter) {
photoStrip[prop].tween(_yscale, 120, 0.5, easeinout, delay);
photoStrip[prop].tween(_xscale, 120, 0.5, easeinout, delay);
delay += 0.5;
}
}
or even:
var delay = 0;
for (var prop in photoStrip) {
if (prop != _childCounter) {
photoStrip[prop].scaleTo(120, 0.5, easeinout, delay);
delay += 0.5;
}
}
or to use some other as1-less syntax, once again my own's
zeh.easing.Tweener, a static as2 class which provide a one-shot method for
animation triggering:
import zeh.easing.Tweener;
var delay = 0;
for (var prop in photoStrip) {
if (prop != _childCounter) {
Tweener.addTween(photoStrip[prop], {_xscale:120, _yscale:120, time:0.5,
transition:easeinout, delay:delay});
delay += 0.5;
}
}
or just in one line (or maybe two with the 'import' statement):
import zeh.easing.Tweener;
for (var i:Number = 0; i photoStrip.length; i++)
Tweener.addTween(photoStrip[prop], {_xscale:120, _yscale:120, time:0.5,
transition:easeinout, delay:0.5 * i});
Really. WHY does it have to be more complicated than that? ..Functions?
..setIntervals? ..Delegates? What's next, a sequential animation calling
design pattern with 10 different methods? Just for a one-shot sequential
animation? And still making it more difficult and less practical -- less
easy to change?
It's just sequential animations, no secret, no big deal. Why not fit the
solution to it, using any of the existing solutions that support delays,
instead of going 1000 extra miles? Do programmers bill by number of
functions they've written?
Sorry for the rant, but really, there's a moment you have to use the best
tool for the task - and I don't mean only the easiest. The tweening classes
included on Flash are cool and all that, but they're too basic, too raw. Why
you'd need dozens of lines just to do something that can be done with one
single line in a pretty straightforward way is beyond me. Most of the times
I have to build sites, there's so much having to be animated correctly that
if I resorted to functions and complex callbacks any time I needed some kind
of sequence or delay, my code would be a complete mess and the sequence
would be unmaintainable. Now, with delays it's as easy as it gets. It's
easier to read, debug, write, change, etc.
My advice is to still use another solution. MC Tween, laco's, Fuse Kit, it
doesn't matter. Any of them will do the trick. And probably next version of
Flash's tweening functions, considering Robert Penner is working for them
now.

Re: [Flashcoders] sequential tweens ?
Martin, do not take this personally, I don't mean to sound rude or anything, I'm sorry in advance if I do, and your code totally makes logical sense and it's 100% correct, but...

Why something so convoluted for something so simple? Simply because the tweening doesn't support delays? :( don't worry i don't take it personally its only programming :) To me it doesn't seem complicated, just a couple of functions, nothing special in either function. If it doesn't fit the requirements, so be it. Sorry for the rant, but really, there's a moment you have to use the best tool for the task - and I don't mean only the easiest. The tweening classes included on Flash are cool and all that, but they're too basic, too raw.

Now, with delays it's as easy as it gets. It's easier to read, debug, write, change, etc. Don't be sorry, if it upsets you then best to let it out, bottling things up isn't good for the soul :) Anyway, to consider if its easier to change then it really depends on how you want to change it. In some cases yes its undoubtedly easier, in other cases i think it could be harder but I don't know the API of your tweening classes so I cant say. What if i wanted to trigger something when each tween ends? What if i want to perform an action depending on which tween has ended? Each solution has its pro's and con's so its worth understanding the options and the trade offs. Like i said i don't find functions or callbacks complicated, its the bread and butter of programming. The code i showed is an idiom that I've used on a number of occasions, not just for sequencing animations but for various things that need treating in a consequential manner and aren't all necessarily time based. My advice is to still use another solution. MC Tween, laco's, Fuse Kit, it doesn't matter. Any of them will do the trick. Mine too :) I don't know any of the other animation kits so I couldn't vouch for their ease of use, size when installed or performance, but I've heard good things about those you mention. anyway..shop around, its always the way to get the best deal and the solution that fits your needs.
