Re: [Flashcoders] Uncompress a gzipped file
Max, not sure if this helps but it's worth a try. I was trying to uncompress files from zip archives a while ago. The most common compression method used in zip is deflate (as you already know) so theroretically it shouldn't be a problem to uncompress() files in a zip, BUT.. the thing is, although both Flash and the common 3rd party zip tools use the same compression method, they use different checksums. Zlib (Flash) uses an ADLER32 checksum, see RFC 1950 [1], whereas zip uses CRC-32 [2]. The checksum is calculated over the uncompressed file so imho it's impossible to uncompress a file in a 3rd party created zip archive (you don't have the ADLER32 checksum that Flash needs - the dog bites its tail there), which really is a pity. Please let me know if you find a way around that, i'd be very interested. I'll do the same. Maybe we should joint our efforts there. Cheers, Claus.

I'm pretty confident now the last two bits in a ByteStream compressed with compress() are a checksum, and I'm almost completely sure it's a crc-16 checksum (although it's always off by one, I can't say I know why). Gzip actually includes a checksum, but it's crc-32, not crc-16. It's not as if you can know what the crc-16 checksum is without decompressing the file first. So basically, flash needs the checksum before it will decompress the binary data, and you don't have it with a normal gzip file. Now I'm starting to think gzip is a dead end and a custom format would probably be more useful. Anyway, making a custom format is out of my league it seems. I tried working something out with Python but I can't pull it off.

Hi List - using the BitmapData class, its possible to read pixels from the screen, and save to a file. However, this only seems to read the pixels that you have drawn into the bitmap object.

[Flashcoders] problem with scaling externally loaded SWFs using loadClip
Hey Gurus, I am builidng a player in Flash MX 2004 which will show externally loaded SWFs to the user. One SWF at a time. The user is going to have back-next type navigation controls. Thats all. Simple. But I am facing a wierd problem in loading external SWFs. I want to be able to resize the external SWFs into a fixed area while maintaining the aspect ratio of the loaded SWF. This action is happening unreliably for me. In some SWFs, my solution is working fine and in some it is not. Result is that I am sometimes getting SWFs which are smaller in size than what I want (as in they dont fill up whole viewable area even when they can). Note that this is happening only in some SWFs and not all of them. I am tempted to think that this might be because some SWFs are somehow different than the SWFs which work fine. But I am clueless what this difference could be. All external SWFs have only one frame. And there framerate is also same. I am resizing all SWFs in loadClip.onLoadInit. The resizing code tries to fit the loaded SWF into a fixed area while maintaining its aspect ratio. I have tried using MovieClip.loadClip and also the Loader component that comes with Flash MX 2004. Is there anything which I am missing out here, or could there be any attribute in the external SWF which might make it behave differently than others when resized. Kindly help me. This issue is really giving me jerks now. Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Tooltip rollovers for textinput..help plss
wow, ok, I've spent way too much time on this so I have to get back to
work. But here's what my last hour showed me:
txt has no onPress, onRelease, etc.
You cannot determine if the TextField inside a TextInput is rolled over
or out. There are no onRollOver/onRollOut methods to use.
You can determine if the TextInput receives focus(ie is clicked in or
tabbed to) with
txt.addEventListener("focusIn",this);
txt.addEventListener("focusOut",this);
You can consistently determine a way to show the clip by putting an
invisible button above the text field. But this stops the text field
from receiving input, and so you must set _visible=false on the button
after its rolled over. But now we have no way of determining when we've
rolled off the textfield, and so there's no way to turn off the tooltip.
I never realized how broken this whole thing is. But it seems like
TextField (not TextInput) objects don't have any event handling, and
instead whatever behind them will receive onRollOver/Out events. This
makes it really hard to do anything like a tooltip with them.
Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer!

You're overwriting the onPress event on your text field. You need to
save your old onPress event before overwriting it, and make sure that
it
is called:
class test {
private var txt:TextInput;
private function test() {
}
private function onLoad() {
//save the onPress handler
txt.oldOnPress = txt.onPress;
txt.onRollOver = function() {
tt = new
customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt.showTip("Total sales.");
}
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = function() {
tt.removeTip();
//call the onPress Handler
oldOnPress();
}
I don't think my changes will compile, but I hope you get the idea. I
would suggest using the ascb.util.Proxy or mx.util.Delegate class to
more gracefully handle your handlers. Something like this:

This:
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = Delegate.create(this,txtPress);
Should be this:
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = Delegate.create(this,txtOut);
According to the code given.
See if that works,

Re: [Flashcoders] New Flash based website
Hi Tom, I like the site, environmental are clean and the site responds quickly. A couple suggestions I have are: use javascript to resize the swf's object height attribute, so that when your user opens a section that will increase your stage height beyond the window height, your user will be able to scroll to see all of the content. Another idea would be to have the content shuffle to the top, so that I don't have to close something to close something to close something so see a page. Instead, I would click the main nav button for it and the current top item would slide down and the item I want to see will slide up. All in all, good work. Just tighten down those screws and enjoy not having to do it again for a while.

You're overwriting the onPress event on your text field. You need to
save your old onPress event before overwriting it, and make sure that it
is called:
class test {
private var txt:TextInput;
private function test() {
}
private function onLoad() {
//save the onPress handler
txt.oldOnPress = txt.onPress;
txt.onRollOver = function() {
tt = new
customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt.showTip("Total sales.");
}
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = function() {
tt.removeTip();
//call the onPress Handler
oldOnPress();
}
I don't think my changes will compile, but I hope you get the idea. I
would suggest using the ascb.util.Proxy or mx.util.Delegate class to
more gracefully handle your handlers. Something like this:
import ascb.util.Proxy;
class test {
private var txt:TextInput;
private var oldOnPress:Function;
private var tt:ToolTip;
private function onLoad(){
oldOnPress = txt.onPress;
txt.onRollOver = Proxy.create(this, txtOver);
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = Proxy.create(this,txtPress);
}
private function txtOver(){
tt = new customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);

RE: [Flashcoders] Tooltip rollovers for textinput..help plss
Hey Chris,
I forgot to mention a strange/weired problem with these rollovers. I
wasn't using onRelease in my old code i.e
txt.onRollOut = function() {
tt.removeTip();
}
It never worked for the 1st time.But if I click a 'dynamic text'box and
come back click on the textinput, it used to work fine as I was able to
enter data in textinput.But again if I go and click a button or
radiobutton and come to back to change data,it wont work(again I have to
click on dynamic text).This is a very strange problem as everytime I
click a button or someother thing(other than textinput boxes) it is
giving me a problem. I have no idea about this problem...

Re: [Flashcoders] Uncompress a gzipped file
I still haven't figured it out, but I found some things. I wrote a small class that removes the header and the crc32/length stuff at the end. Only the remaining data still can't be uncompressed. So I looked at data compressed with compress() and instantly noticed that it always begins with a short integer (0x78da). There also seems to be some significance to the two (possibly four) bytes at the end but I can't figure it out. Adding 0x78da alone doesn't make it work. I'm out of ideas, does anybody else have any? The class I wrote is attached to this email. I really think this would be useful to everyone, as you could compress any binary file and decompress it within flash. As far as I can tell there's no way to do this right now. On 8/9/06, Max <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: It seems your right, I tried removing the header info already, but it looks more complex than I thought. I can actually see the original filename in the header. After all that experimenting with a hex editor I forgot to actually check the file itself.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tooltip rollovers for textinput..help plss
You're overwriting the onPress event on your text field. You need to
save your old onPress event before overwriting it, and make sure that it
is called:
class test {
private var txt:TextInput;
private function test() {
}
private function onLoad() {
//save the onPress handler
txt.oldOnPress = txt.onPress;
txt.onRollOver = function() {
tt = new
customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt.showTip("Total sales.");
}
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = function() {
tt.removeTip();
//call the onPress Handler
oldOnPress();
}
I don't think my changes will compile, but I hope you get the idea. I
would suggest using the ascb.util.Proxy or mx.util.Delegate class to
more gracefully handle your handlers. Something like this:
import ascb.util.Proxy;
class test {
private var txt:TextInput;
private var oldOnPress:Function;
private var tt:ToolTip;
private function onLoad(){
oldOnPress = txt.onPress;
txt.onRollOver = Proxy.create(this, txtOver);
txt.onRollOut = txt.onPress = Proxy.create(this,txtPress);
}
private function txtOver(){
tt = new customToolTip(0xE5E5E5,0x022954,0x022954,20,10,15,20);
tt.showTip("Total sales.");
}
private function txtOut(){
tt.removeTip();
oldOnPress.apply(txt);
}
}
Hope this helps

Re: [Flashcoders] crossdomain
Yes, this would need to be configured for every machine where you
intend to run the local swf. If you have some sort of install script,
you could create a FlashPlayerTrust configuration file to set the
trusted paths (the link in my previous email has details on where that
needs to go, etc).

Re: [Flashcoders] Why in the world my class is tracing false?!?!
It's tracing false because it has never really changed. Your setting the attribute triggers the watch() method before it gets set. Depending on how you exit from watch() will determine if your property gets set or not. That is why it is tracing false. Your enterframe is probably not seeing it because you instantiated your class in a local variable as opposed to a property within your object (in this case, the _root timeline). jord -- Original Message -- From: "Michel Scoz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Flashcoders mailing list Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2006 15:22:43 -0300 >I still dont understand what happens that when I change a class attribute to >true, and it traces false > >Like I mentioned earlier... > >And even if I check this class attribute in an EnterFrame event, it will >trace as undefined forever Sent via the WebMail system at interactivityunlimited.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] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow onquestion
>>You have to take out all the html, amend it (using html) and then >>re-assign it all to the textfield. Ok, but even doing that, you would have to use something like Selection.getCaretIndex() to know where in the Textfield you are so you can insert the tag in the right place, but that wouldn't seem to work because in the tests I did it Selection.getCaretIndex() gives you the position in the string shown as it is in the textfield, not the HTML code. So the index # is way off because of the hidden HTML tags are counted. How would you know where in the HTML code (not in the rendered HTML) the user placed their caret so you can insert the IMG tag?

Re: [Flashcoders] crossdomain
crossdomain.xml is not used when loading one swf into another. Have
you added the path to your local swf to the Global Settings manager as
a trusted local swf? See:

Re: [Flashcoders] Why in the world my class is tracing false?!?!
Your watch() method is acting as an interceptor. You are actually checking for a value before it has actually been changed. It will not change until you return from the watch command with a value of true.

RE: [Flashcoders] Complex Objects via Web services: SOAP (C# .NET)
FYI We have this working now. It seems it was all things that needed to change on the C# end. It was the way he was creating the object - he needed to make it a public variable. We were also getting a URL error message when we tried to call the SaveProject() method he created and that was because that method in C# was writing a .log file, and it was trying to write to a place where it didn't have permissions. We now have been able to read/write complex objects (which include arrays and properties) back and forth via SOAP/WSDL from Flash to his C# app in .NET. Awesome! Thanks for the insights!

[Flashcoders] AS3: Stage.scaleMode, Stage.stageWidth and Stage.stageHeight
First question: Can Stage.stageWidth and Stage.stageHeight not be modified by AS? Documentation would suggest otherwise, but setting them has no effect. Second question: Does Stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE work as intended? Documentation states "Specifies that the size of the Flash application be fixed, so that it remains unchanged even as the size of the player window changes." However, I find the application to resize itself with the player window; IDE and browser, and changes the value of stageHeight and stageWidth. My intent is to be able to resize an application in code without the browser window having an affect on size or scale, but the above properties can't seem to be configured to do that. Is there another way? ___ 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] Complex Objects via Web services: SOAP (C# .NET)
By the way, forgot to say thanks for the detailed post Jim! Found out some more. This technote explains some things on complex objects and Webservices, and it appears most of the problems with Complex objects happen with ColdFusion and Axis servers, not .NET, so I have hope: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19047 "The WebServiceConnector supports simple and complex data types, however ColdFusion and Axis will generate a connection error based on the following conditions: Note: No issues with sending or receiving complex data types with Flash have been found with .NET web services."

RE: [Flashcoders] Complex Objects via Web services: SOAP (C# .NET)
I personally do not trust passing ANY complex objects between languages via SOAP/WSDL. If you absolutely have to use plain-text XML web service transports like SOAP and WSDL I would try to use the smallest and most optimal packet. That leads to honestly using something more along the lines of XMLRPC or WDDX xml packets. This still is horribly limited (i.e. can't do complex objects) and still large in size. What I would do is honestly look into getting "Flash Remoting" working through your .NET server. It's basically a proprietary XML format similar to SOAP that's in binary format - hence a hell of a lot less data is transferred instead of a giant plain-text xml packet. I would trust Flash's support for AMF over any other "web service" as well which might mediate your complex object issues. You mentioned a .net and c# application - similar to ours we're using a coldfusion backend to instantiate a COM Object from a 3rd party vendor which is basically an overglorified frontend to ADODB. yay middleware. I still like this setup because coldfusion/java do a good job instantiating COM objects and I don't have to worry about a hacked/reverse-engineered AMF module seeing as the flash remoting gateway is built into coldfusion. At the very least OpenAMF might be worth a gander. Search for content on the NetDebugger class too, this might help to try and diagnose the current object coming back as null. There might be an uncaught onStatus() event that should be triggered. Cheers -- Jim Palmer !

RE: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow onquestion
Yes, but you should be writing to the .htmlText property not the .text property as that will then keep all the styling in place via html code.

RE: [Flashcoders] HTML in XML
Another way that works pretty well is to do a join on the child nodes.
So your trace would look like this:
trace(newsNode.childNodes[i].childNodes.join(""));
As long as your html is xml compliant ( instead of ) it will
work just fine.

Re: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow onquestion
To insert an image you need to process the text as "text". So you first need to get the html text (textfield.htmlText), insert the image using string functions and then re-insert the text into the textfield. Because you know where the cursor is in the textfield "text" but not in the "html" text, you need to insert some kind of marker at the cursor position, and then replace that marker inside the html text with the img tag.

Re: [Flashcoders] how to set the root directory - swf vs html?
Not sure, but this "might" help...
BASE - ( . or base directory or URL) Specifies the base directory or
URL used to resolve all relative path statements in the Flash Player
movie. This attribute is helpful when your Flash Player movies are
kept in a different directory from your other files.
Used when embedding the swf in html

[Flashcoders] Flash cant add up!!
Okay, i may be going crazy but slap this on frame one of a flash file and
observe the output:
//
var incrementNum:Number = 0;
var oldNum:Number = 0;
var resultNum:Number =0;
onEnterFrame = function(){gogo();}
function gogo()
{
oldNum = incrementNum;
incrementNum += 0.1;
resultNum = incrementNum - oldNum;
trace("old: "+oldNum);
trace("inc: "+incrementNum);
trace("res: "+resultNum);
trace("");

[Flashcoders] Re: quotes in XML
Hi,
I tried the thing, but
I get the same problem as when I was using urlencode($string). Flash grabs
the string and automatically decodes it, so when I put it in the XML
constructor, I get an invalid XML string.
About using the XML object directly instead of LoadVars, I don't think it
would work. I am sending data to a PHP script using POST, which queries a
DB and returns the result as an XML tree. I can't use the XML class' send
or sendAndLoad methods because these send an XML file to the PHP script
instead of data in the POST array. Is there another way of using the XML
class directly that I am missing?
The pipe-encoding solution works, but it would be nice to have something a
little more general...
Thanks

Wait...is there any particular reason you are using LoadVars instead
of the XML class? I think simply using XML instead would solve your
problem, without any funny hacks.

[Flashcoders] Complex Objects via Web services: SOAP (C# .NET)
This is an old thread I started back in May which I am following up on with a question. Muzak had replied to me with this: >>If you'll be using webservices that you can control (which it sounds like is the >>case), don't send XML back and forth. >>When using webservices, you can send Array of Objects back and forth, which is >>alot easier to work with. >>There should be a list of data type conversions in the docs somewhere. I am using the Web service classes to load in a wsdl from a .NET developer using C#. We have the basics working, I can receive a simple string from him no problem by calling the SOAP method. However, since Muzak (in the quote above) and the docs say the Web service classes supports complex object types, we are now trying to read in a complex object in Flash. The C# developer created a method for me, called GetProject() that returns a complex object he created (the complex object is simple - it just has a property that contains a simple string - i.e. objProj.Title). However, when I trace the result on the method, it returns "null". Neither the C# developer or myself can figure out where we are going wrong. Any ideas? One of us has something wrong with this "object" and we're not sure who. Also, for a second related question, once I can read the object in Flash (it would contain arrays and properties, etc.) - we want to just send that object back to the webservice to update the object in C#. Any issues with that? The Help docs only say this about objects: Web Service classes > Supported Types > Object Types Object Types: Complex Type - ActionScript object composed of properties of any supported type Jason Merrill Bank of America Learning & Organization Effectiveness - Technology Solutions ___ 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] Calling functions in sequence
I might be mistaken, but:
function doAll(){
func1();
func2();
func3();
func4();
}
func2 is called once func1 is done, not before or during.

time". If you want the xml file to load once the flv file has buffered
or completed playing, that's a different deal but not necessarily more
complicated if you look into the xml/netstream class event handlers.

Re: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow onquestion
You can use any image type that can be loaded by flash. If you use src="test.swf"> the player will load the swf file as an image. Also as i mentioned previously, you can use and the player will show that library item (that of course must be a movieclip with a linkage id).

Re: [Flashcoders] png load queue
Have you tried using JPGs instead of PNGs just to see if there's a difference there? I had an animation that was almost twice as fast when I used JPGs instead of PNGs. Either way, it sounds like a lot of data you're loading - perhaps it's just on your local machine it's slow because it's loading the PNGs instantly compared to via a web connection where you'll have X seconds between each image loading.

You could scan through the textfield.htmlText value (i.e. the code)

Thanks Giles. That is what I was trying to avoid, especially since I
need to give the user editing capability - so they can add and remove
the tag at any time when editing the text. Could get messy real quick
and be bug-prone. I think I might opt instead for keeping images out
of
the HTML altogether, and just use a MovieClip they load content into
and
position. It won't allow the text to wrap around the image, but oh
well.

I think that replaceSel() acts on the rendered output rather than
the
code, so it thinks that you want to actually display the text that
you

Oh, and to follow up with some further information:
It seems to only encode those HTML entities when I use
TextField.replaceSel(). If I just add the tag string on to
the
htmltext field value, it works:
//works:
test_txt.htmlText += "";
//fails - shows literal text, and encodes entities:
test_txt.replaceSel("");
Am I left with splitting the string in two, inserting the tag,
and
re-assembling the string? Or is there a way to get replaceSel() to
work
with HTML tags?

Re: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash - follow onquestion
Sorry if you guys already covered this, but is it possible to use SWF's
instead of bitmaps?
the image tag supports loading of SWF's, and I would think you *could*
(meaning, I've not tried it) include onRelease method that handles the
removal of said SWF?

Nope - well, kind of, that's only partially true. You cannot select the
picture itself, but if you select the space character where the image
tag is "invisibly" located and delete that, the IMG tag gets deleted as
well, thus removing the picture. So you can do it, but it's not
intuitive to the user on how to find that space and do that, especially
if they forgot where they put it. But it would be really nice if it
were true that you could select the picture directly. Unless someone
knows otherwise, but this is what appears to be the case in my tests.

RE: [Flashcoders] png load queue
Slow was sloow. But it turned out more to do with my debug window than anything else. However, I have 24 frames of a 360 spin of a product (x 4+ png each)...and as each frame loads I draw it to the screen. That seems to be the issue now. Drawing each multilayed frame causes a hicup in whatever other animation I have going on. What's odd is that as soon as it has shown a frame on screen it never slows down again when showing that same frame again. Any suggestions on this? seems as if it chokes when it has to draw overlapped png files? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Merrill, Jason Sent: Wed 8/9/2006 8:40 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] png load queue >>the load it is super choppy (especially on a mac). >> >>I am loading in sequence up to 100 png files - if that makes a difference.

One function loads a flv file and the other loads an associated XML file. These functions work perfectly if I create two separate buttons to execute the function in the UI. I would like to be able to have the user select a value in a datagrid and after they select/cellpress the value execute function one, then after function one complete execute function two.

[Flashcoders] Serious MTASC/Flashdevelop compile issue
http://andreas.rayon.no/mtasc_compileerror.jpg Basically, out of nowhere, MTASC started giving me errors on stuff like commas and periods in strings, comments and errors like "invalid character 0xF8". Anyone know what could cause this? I've got multiple projects that compile just fine, just this one suddenly started doing this. I also tried creating a new project file and pointing it to the same class dir and compiling, but i keep getting these errors. Help? =) - Andreas R ___ 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
