[Flashcoders] NumericStepper.checkValidValue() method
The NumericStepper component in Flash 8 seems to have a problem. Where
minimum = 1, maximum = 10, stepSize = 2, value = 1, the second value on
clicking the up arrow is 2. Then it is changing to 4 6 8 10. What
I expect is 1 3 5 7 9 10.
Therefore, I modified NumericStepper.checkValidValue() method as
follows. To test the script just place the NumericStepper component
into the [Library] without anything on the stage.
Any comments and suggestions for this modification would be very
appreciated.
// dynamically placing a NumericStepper instance
import mx.managers.DepthManager;
import mx.controls.NumericStepper;
var myNumericStepper:NumericStepper =
this.createClassChildAtDepth(NumericStepper, DepthManager.kTop);
// initializing
myNumericStepper.move(10, 10);
myNumericStepper.minimum = 1;
myNumericStepper.maximum = 10;
myNumericStepper.stepSize = 2;
myNumericStepper.value = myNumericStepper.minimum;
// modifying NumericStepper.checkValidValue() method
NumericStepper.prototype.checkValidValue = function(val:Number):Number {
// var initDiv:Number = val/this.stepSize;
// var roundD:Number = Math.floor(initDiv);
var stepS:Number = this.stepSize;
var minVal:Number = this.minimum;
var maxVal:Number = this.maximum;
var initDiv:Number = (val-minVal)/this.stepSize+minVal;
var roundD:Number = Math.floor(initDiv-minVal)+minVal;
// if (valminVal and valmaxVal) {
if (valminVal valmaxVal) {
if (initDiv-roundD == 0) {
return val;
} else {
// var tmpV:Number = Math.floor(val/stepS);
var tmpV:Number = Math.floor((val-minVal)/stepS);
var stepDownV:Number = tmpV*stepS+minVal;
if ((val-stepDownV=stepS/2 maxVal=stepDownV+stepS
minVal=stepDownV-stepS) || (val+stepS == maxVal
maxVal-stepDownV-stepS0.01)) {
stepDownV += stepS;
}
return stepDownV;
}
} else {
if (val=maxVal) {
return maxVal;
} else {
return minVal;
}
}
};

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 compiler Qs
Here are some things I've been wondering about Actionscript 3.0s compiler and runtime engines: I'm assuming AS 3.0 compiles to a bytecode. What kind of bytecode does it compile to? Is it more like Java/.NET CLR, or more like Mozilla's Spidermonkey compiler? I don't know about SpiderMonkey, but AS3 bytecode is similar to Java one. It's actually more complicated since there is several way to access the properties (using prototype, traits or slots). Does the compiled code get recompiled during runtime to machine code (like a JIT compiler) or does it get interpreted? Some Adobe presentation on the subjet was saying that all the code get JIT'ed, except the $iinit and $cinit functions which are the one defining the classes and initializing their static variables. Also, how does the compiler deal with typing? Statically typed, compiled languages usually have the type set in stone at compile time whereas dynamically typed, interpreted languages like javascript and php can do type coercion at runtime on the fly. Which one does the Actionscript 3.0 runtime do? Does it do both depending on whether the type is static or dynamic? The complete class structure with type is stored into the Flash9 SWF. Then local (per-function) type-inference is performed to check the types coherency. There is some bytecode options that perform type-casting. For instance everytime a value is stored into an untyped variable, the opcode 0x82 is forgetting about the original value type. This makes things actually pretty difficult for other languages with different type system to be compiled to Flash9 bytecode, but I could succeed in doing it for haXe (http://haxe.org). I started documenting the Flash9 file format on http://osflash.org/flash9, you can start reading there, but only the haXe swf library sources are containing the complete specification : http://cvs.motion-twin.com/horde/chora/browse.php?rt=ocamlf=swflib Nicolas ___ 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] Strange flashing bug
Hi I have come up against a very strange bug that I can't work out the cause... I've built a game that used to work just fine. Recently some of the graphics in the game were updated and resent to me from the designer. I copied them in. Now the bug occurs: In certain parts of the game a few of my mcs start flashing - like the visibility is repeatedly turning on and off. I trace the visibility on a frame interval on the mcs and it always returns true. To solve this all I have to do is to go into one of the affected mcs and simply make a change like locking and unlocking all of it's layers, no graphics or code changes required. I republish and the flashing stops. I then go into one of the other affected mcs and do the same weird fix. This fixes the second mc flashing bug but the first one appears again! Any ideas? I'm completely stumped. ___ 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] Import fonts at runtime
My application allows users to type text using a font chosen from a drop down list of fonts. I was wondering if it is possible to import the actual font at runtime rather than embedding all the fonts (there may be about 100 fonts). Hence I would have a folder containing a ttf file or swf for each font. When the user selects a font, it will load this font. Basically just don't want the user to have to download all 100 fonts when they may only use 1 of them.

Re: [Flashcoders] ClassFactory and Reflection in Actionscript 3.0
I'm coding an introspection framework for as3, but i have a problem by
creating instance at runtime without using new operator.
I have no problem to create instances of classes with no operators at
its construction function. The code is this one:
public class ClassFactory{
public static function createInstance(className:String):Object
var clazz:Class = getDefinitionByName(className) as Class;
return new clazz()
}
}
I need a factory to create instance with an array of arguments, of this kind:
public static function createInstance(name:String, args:Array):Object
any idea??
Unfortunately this can't be done in AS3. I asked this before and the
workaround suggested by an Adobe engineer was to use a well known
initialization method in your classes and call them after invoking
the constructor. But this is obviously not feasible if you need to
work with existing classes and/or want to create a generic framework
with such capabilities. This is one of the areas where you have more
limitations in AS3 than you used to have in AS2. I really hope AS4
will introduce something like: Class.newInstance(args:Array)

Re: [Flashcoders] PRINTJOB HELL, PRINTJOB NIGHTMARE with several PAGES
Hey guys thanks for the code and input.
The route I think I'm taking because it's html text and formatted, is to
keep trimming at br's and checking if page is not too high.

Here's the code (which works) so far:
private function processPagesToPrint():Void
{
_pagesToPrint=[];
_excessText=entireHtmlFormattedTextContent;// can be a few lines or
pages
constructPage();
}
private function constructPage():Void
{
var pageToPrint=this.attachMovie
('pageToPrint_justText','p'+(_pagesToPrint.length+1),getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:720});
_pagesToPrint.push(pageToPrint);
var tf:TextField=pageToPrint.tf;
tf.styleSheet=STYLESHEET;
tf.htmlText=_excessText;
// if the page is not too high without having to trim we're good to
go
if(tf.textHeight=tf._height){
trace('pages processed, and number to print
='+_pagesToPrint.length);
// display this info to user so they know before they hit print
}
// otherwise we'll trim and then construct another page
else{
_excessText=;
trimPage(tf);
}
}
private function trimPage(tf:TextField):Void
{
// cut the text after the last 'br'
var str:String=tf.htmlText;
var lastBr=str.lastIndexOf('br');
tf.htmlText=str.substring(0,lastBr);
_excessText=str.substring(lastBr,str.length)+_excessText;
// if page is trimmed enough
if(tf.textHeight=tf._height){
constructPage();
}
// otherwise keep trimmin
else{
trimPage(tf);
}
}
private function printPages():Void
{
_printJob=new PrintJob();

fld.text = curr;

var half:Array = txt.slice(0, len / 2);
fld.text = curr + half.join( );

fillField(fld, half, curr);

fillField(fld, txt.slice(len / 2), fld.text +

I tested it with
fillField(test, src.text.split( ));

Re: [Flashcoders] ClassFactory and Reflection in Actionscript
Could you send the parameters/arguments into a text file and retrieve them
from there using loadVars?

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] ClassFactory and Reflection in Actionscript
Oh, it's very sad. I developed a script language that can be loaded
and run at runtime in a flash movie.
At this moment I can create instances with no arguments, it's very
impressive, but if I can not pass arguments I can't continue the
project.
I'm coding an introspection framework for as3, but i have a problem by
creating instance at runtime without using new operator.
I have no problem to create instances of classes with no operators at
its construction function. The code is this one:
public class ClassFactory{
public static function createInstance(className:String):Object
var clazz:Class = getDefinitionByName(className) as
Class;
return new clazz()
}
}
I need a factory to create instance with an array of arguments, of
this kind:
public static function createInstance(name:String, args:Array):Object
any idea??
Unfortunately this can't be done in AS3. I asked this before and the
workaround suggested by an Adobe engineer was to use a well known
initialization method in your classes and call them after invoking
the constructor. But this is obviously not feasible if you need to
work with existing classes and/or want to create a generic framework
with such capabilities. This is one of the areas where you have more
limitations in AS3 than you used to have in AS2. I really hope AS4
will introduce something like: Class.newInstance(args:Array)

RE: [Flashcoders] strange scope behaviour
AS 1 and 2 actually do have a strange (buggy?) way to handle function
definitions in block statements like for, catch, try, finally and if. As
there is no block-level scope in ActionScript we'd expect that function
definitions are scoped to the parent timeline / surrounding scope - however
they are not:
{
function test(){}
trace(test);
}
Output in AS 1 2 : undefined
In AS3 however function definitions inside these block statements do behave
as expected and are scoped to the surrounding scope (local scope of the
function that holds the block or to the timeline the code is on).
The output of above sample in AS3 is therefore: function Function() {}
Some more info:

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Best way to learn OO Analysis and Design with ActionScript
I am trying to create a math's Fraction object that can relate to various realities in which in can apply itself. Does anyone know of any detailed examples of state diagrams and activity diagrams? Under images on google I have searched for State Diagram etc but I need deep, practical examples if I am going to understand how to create my classes. John I know state diagrams have been used longer that many other UML diagrams since they are applicable to non OOP - I have a old C book which I found in the basement which has a state chart for 'writing ascii to a magnetic drive' program. the UML book I have 'Appying UML and Patterns' (link in previous email) calls them 'statechart diagrams' and has 10 page chapter which goes through a couple of examples, an EPOS system and a telephone exchange. there are some links at the bottom of this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_diagram Are you saying your object would have a sort of intellegence as to when it is needed? Happy to talk more, but maybe this is not actionscript related enough for the list, does anyone know of a UML and Flash list?, I can set one up at Yahoo groups, that way we could use the images section on the web page to upload UML diagrams...

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Best way to learn OO Analysis and Design with ActionScript
also, I came to Flash recently (as in about 6 weeks ago) and I found it very useful to get all the information in one place, i.e. does AS2 have abstract interfaces?, is there try...catch construct for unit testing with assertions?, are classnames treated as types, can you override the constructor of a superclass in the subclass? This book collects this information together in the context of OO principles, rather than in some alphabetical AS2 dictionary. Hi James, I was not trying to hose your review, but if you're not a hobbyist then there are better books out there. I've read a lot of flash books over the years, the only ones that really stuck with me where green and white with an animal on the front. ie. O'Reilly. The only exception was Robert Penner's first book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0072223561/sr=8-1/qid=1156120988/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-4690969-4407040?ie=UTF8 I battled furiously to get my head around Object-Oriented Programming with Actionscript http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735711836/sr=8-2/qid=1156121055/ref=sr_1_2/103-4690969-4407040?ie=UTF8 only to find that looking back a lot of the explanations largely added to my confusion. IMHO your recommendation wasn't hard to follow but it did lack depth. The Head First books are excellent. The Java book is not a waste of time either. If you're trying to get your head around OOP it helps enormously to get the information first hand and the best references will always give Java and/or C++ examples.

Re: [Flashcoders] PRINTJOB HELL, PRINTJOB NIGHTMARE with several PAGES
My approach to printing oodles of multiline text is to let the browser do it: * When the print button is pressed, save the contents of the text field to a Local Shared Object * Open up an empty HTML page, which has as invisible flash movie which can then: o Read that shared object. o Pass the data that needs to be printed to a JS function which... o ...uses DOM to inject that data onto the page. Simple, and quite elegant, if I say so my self. I've done this before for arrays of objects, and it has worked a treat. The Flash/Javascript bridge comes in handy here as well. Peter O'Brien wrote: I have the same problem as the original poster. I don't suppose anyone can provide more info as a solution than Hans, or Hans if you're there I would love to see some code.

[Flashcoders] htacess and loaded SWFs
Hi folks, I've spent all evening trying to find an answer to this question, and I've just recently subscribed to this list, so I apologize in advance if this has already been covered. I have set up a directory to serve up SWFs from with an htaccess file that prevents direct access to the SWFs or from domains other than my own. This is working fine... when an HTML or PHP file on my domain is the file that is loading the SWF. However, when the same HTML or PHP file loads a SWF that then tries to load another SWF from the same directory, htaccess prevents it. I am using a MovieClipLoader to load the external SWF. How is loading a SWF from within a SWF different to Apache than loading the same SWF from an HTML or PHP file? I'm pulling my hair out here. Thanks in advance.

[Flashcoders] Component bug after converting to compiled clip
Hello everyone, I have been working with flash since version 4, though I only started my first steps on to component development 5 months ago. I have successfully developed a few components, like a tooltip manager, a movieclip scrollbar and a combo box. The reson I write you is because on the latest project I am developing, I created a special kind of combo box which works fine on the site, if I don't compile it. If I create a compiled clip, a red square apears inside it, from no where and I haven't got a clue what causes this. Has anyone had similar problems or something related ? Thanks a lot for all support.

[Flashcoders] Live Preview and Laying out Components
Doing a little looking about Flash Components, and I've made some skinnable components. Now, in the default instance, they're quite boring, the idea being that you associate them with various movie clip instances in the Library to customise the look of these components. (I.e, each instance on the stage will look different) This is all well and good, but I've hit a bit of a problem when it comes to actually laying these out on the stage; Now, according to http://www.flashsim.com/newsletter/v2n3.html, compiling these clips will give me a live preview, however, the live preview will not actually reflect the state of these components. This makes it pretty useless to me, as far as being an aid to laying them out on the stage goes. Any suggestions on what to do? Just guess based on the bounding box? -- Haikal Saadh Applications Programmer ICT Resources, TALSS QUT Kelvin Grove ___ 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
