[Flashcoders] RecordSet and patterns

[Caruso Canepari]

Hi, I found the RecordSet class very useful for e-commerce sites. Excluding 
MVC, could you tell me which design pattern is best suited for loading large 
recordsets and query them aside from the "real" database?

Re: [Flashcoders] Job postings ok?

[Mick G]

It's a consipiracy man! The job postings are secretly created by the egos on
here that need to vent. They post a job posting, then vent about how job
postings have nothing to do with coding. Eventually the debate dies until a
few weeks later when it all starts up again.

RE: [Flashcoders] XML id attribute shortcut not working?

[Mike Keesey]

No prob!

You could also use the associative array syntax: _xml["idMap"]["myID"]

Altering the class is more elegant (and something Macromedia should have
done in the first place, of course), but if someone else has to compile
it, you may want to use the associative array cheat and mark it with a
"KLUDGE" comment.

Re: [Flashcoders] Using TransitionManager..?

[Rich Rodecker]

hmmm...i use the transition manager frequently, never really had a problem
with it, bit ive never tried using it with the bitmap filters.  It's
probably just a misprint in the email, but you for your first doTrans() call
you dont have the mc's name in there right.

Anyone use a different package to accomplish the same thing, that is a bit

Re: [Flashcoders] XML id attribute shortcut not working?

[Rifled Cloaca]

All,

It seems to be due to a bug in the base XML class definition.  If you want
to use idMap in Flash 8, you'll need to edit your XML.as class to add the
attrib.

Thanks again!

[Flashcoders] FLVPlayback and Garbage Collection

[Lori Hutchek]

Hi All,

I'm having an issue with the FLVPlayback component not
actually clearing from memory after use. My application plays multiple
videos over an extended period of time and I've noticed that as the user
progress from one section to another with video playing the memory usage
for the application continues to jump up higher. Garbage collection
seems to be working for all of the other elements of my application
except this... Deleting the variable does help remove some of it from
memory but its almost as if the video itself is still being stored by
the player. Anyone else encounter this problem?? Possible solutions?

 

Lori-

 

Excerpt of the class I wrote to handle video playback:

 

class com.scimedmedia.media.FLVController {

private var _videoClip:FLVPlayback;

private var _videoFile: String;

private var _currentState: String;

private var _videoListener: Object;

//

private var _videoLoaded:Boolean;

//

//{ region dispatch event intializers

public var dispatchEvent:Function;

public var addEventListener:Function;

public var removeEventListener:Function;

//} endregion dispatch event intializers

 

//

public function FLVController() {

this.init();

}

/// 

public function loadMovie (clip:MovieClip, path:String,
depth:Number, position:Object, dimensions:Object, autoPlay:Boolean,
alpha:Number):Void {

clip.attachMovie("FLVPlayback", "my_FLVPlybk",
depth, {x:position.x, y:position.y});

this._videoClip = clip.my_FLVPlybk;

this._videoClip.setSize(dimensions.width,
dimensions.height);

this._videoClip.playheadUpdateInterval = 1000;

this._videoClip.autoPlay = autoPlay;

this._videoClip._alpha = (alpha >= 0) ? alpha :
100;

//

this.addListeners();

//

this._videoClip.contentPath = path;

}

//

private function addListeners(): Void {

this._videoClip.addEventListener("ready", this);

this._videoClip.addEventListener("complete",
this);

 
this._videoClip.addEventListener("playheadUpdate", this);

this._videoClip.addEventListener("cuePoint",
this);

this._videoClip.addEventListener("seek", this);

this._videoClip.addEventListener("stateChange",
this);

}

//

private function removeListeners(): Void {

this._videoClip.removeEventListener("ready",
this);

this._videoClip.removeEventListener("complete",
this);

 
this._videoClip.removeEventListener("playheadUpdate", this);

this._videoClip.removeEventListener("cuePoint",
this);

this._videoClip.removeEventListener("seek",
this);

 
this._videoClip.removeEventListener("stateChange", this);

}

//

public function unload(): Void {

//Stops video playing.

this._videoClip.stop();

//

this._videoClip.closeVideoPlayer();

//Removes Listeners on video. 

this.removeListeners();

//Remove Video From Stage

this._videoClip.removeMovieClip();

//

this._videoClip = null;

delete this._videoClip;

}

}

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClipLoader Reusage

[Helmut Granda]

thanks for your suggestion, still I cant get it to work. all I am trying to
acomplish is a preloader that will load files in order so if it is done with
1 then load the next one and so forth. I have found some information in how
to load 5 files at the same time.

Also I was able to call the function from different buttons but for some
reason when I try to call a new function onLoadComplete it seems to make the
player to choke and get confused.

Thanks again

Re: [Flashcoders] XMLSocket speed

[Mattias Högnäs]

Helo Jobe.

Thanks for the quick response.
I've tried your code and the LAN speed is around 100 ms.
Could it be the way .NET setup the Socket (Im using the Socket class in 
C# .NET 2.0) together with flash that makes it slow over LAN?
I will ask the "network-guy" if the router/switch is sniffing packet or 
something similar that could create the high ping time.

I'll get back to you if I find anything interesting. :-)

Hi Mattias,

You should expect a ping (1/2 the roundtrip) of about 3-5ms on a local 
network. Over the internet of course it varies greatly, but somewhere 
between 40ms and 100ms is typical (again, 1/2 the roundtrip).


The discrepency in your measurements is most likely not due to Flash. 
I've created around 50+ multiplayer games in Flash and haven't 
encountered that issue.


My guess to the cause of your problem is 1 of 2 things:
1) there is something funky with your network causing slow down
or
2) You are just accidentally doing the calculation wrong or your order 
of events is a little messed up. Its not uncommon to have several ping 
requests sent before any are received, and then if you dont have your 
packets stamped with some id, then you dont know which request the 
response is to.


Simple test would be the following. Just create a button to run a quck 
ping test:


Just call the 'sendPing' on button click.

var pingIsOut:Boolean = false;
var timePingSent:Number;
function sendPing() {//call on button click
if (!pingIsOut) {//makes sure only 1 ping is out at a time
 pingIsOut = true;
 sendPingRequestFxn();//make the socket call
 timePingSent = getTimer();
}
}
function pingResponseReceived() {//called when the ping response is 
received

pingIsOut = false;
var ping:Number = (getTimer()-timePingSent)/2;
trace(ping+" ms");
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] XMLSocket speed



Hi all.

Im running a speedtest on XMLSocket.
Im using a simple XMLSocket.send and onData I send again and so on.. 
each time Im adding 1 to a couter and when starttime differs with 10 
seconds from currenttime I divide the by 10 (To get median number of 
calls per second from the 10 seconds I've run the test)... I guess 
you get the point but I could post the AS if needed.

This test runs great... running on local.

Local I get an extremly low ping, around 0.9, but running the swf 
from a different computer on the same network I get around 200 (The 
DOS-ping from these computers to my computer running as server in 
this case - is still low though).

Ive tried changing to different ports but all give the same ping.
But then I tried on a Macintosh and that ping was a lot lower than on 
the PCs on the network - this got me thinking if this delay is 
because of flash handling the socket-connection differently on 
various enviroments and on local / LAN (?).
The C# server I've written uses a simple new Socket() to create the 
connections with async-stream and I dont think the problem lies there.

local/network.

Any ideas on this?
Has anyone created a XMLSocket-handling server wich runs a lot faster 
in any language?

And if so, aprox what ping could I expect on a  local network?

[Flashcoders] Remote access of local files: Possible anymore?

[John Mark Hawley]

I am looking for a way to get at some local SWFs from a remote HTML page. 
(Basically, I want to be able to offer high-quality installable assets on CD 
that can be used instead of the remote assets in case the user has a slow 
internet connection.) After a few failed attempts, I came across this article:

http://www.actionscript.com/flashweek/0361.html

It sounds as though what it describes is exactly what I'm after, but since it 
dates back to 2002 and I can find no other references to the technique, I doubt 
it works anymore and can't figure out a way to duplicate it.

So far I've attempted the following:

1. embedding a flash movie with a "file:///" source
2. using javascript to jump to a locally HTML file with the local flash 
embedded within it
3. using an IFRAME loading the local content
4. having a remote SWF try to load a local SWF (with all combinations of 'allow 
local'/'allow remote')

All have failed in at least IE or Firefox. Does anyone know another option that 
doesn't seem incredibly fragile?

[Flashcoders] inline images in a textarea

[Rich Rodecker]

ok, i know working with images in a text area is only going to lead me to
heartache, but I've seen this done and if anyone can point me in the right
direction that would be awesome.

I have a chat app that im building with support for emoticons.  everyhting
works great except the smiley image always appears on the next line after
the text, so I wind up with something like:

here is my smiley
:)

when i really want:

here is :) my smiley

The one quirk i can see that might cause some wierdness is that i am setting
the contents of the textarea using the .text property, though the textarea
is set to html = true and everything renders out ok.  I dont want to use
.htmlText because I'm letting the user choose any font, and htmlText wont
seem to render without the text embedded.

[Flashcoders] indented text as xml alternative

[Andreas R]

It looks to me like everyone's basically just parsing their xml into 
object structures anyway, so i've been looking for alternatives to xml 
that are more easily edited in a text editor. Personally, when it comes 
to editing xml by hand (which happens more often than i'd like), i 
*curse* having to write node names twice, when i indent the contents 
anyway to make it easier on the eyes.
So i'm thinking (and i don't assume to be the first to think it ;P) 
about a format like this


data
   user
  username
 Andreas
  userclass
 Admin
   user
  username
 Guy
  userclass
 Chatuser

Basically using the tab character (keycode 9), and working out the depth 
of the "node" by its indentation.


Before i make my own class to do this, has anyone already done it, or 
have similarly simple formats worked out? I looked at json, and it's 
still a hassle to write a lot of.

[Flashcoders] RE: Q:Reduce file size of mx.transitions.Tween ??

[Jack Doyle]

This is exactly why I wrote the TweenLite class. It only adds about 2k to
your file and has some features that the Tween class doesn't. You can
download it at http://www.greensock.com/ActionScript/TweenLite.zip

There's some brief documentation at the top of the file, but let me know if
you have any questions. Hope it helps.

Re: [FlashCoders] XRay _global tree

[Dimitrios Bendilas]

Hi John,

Thank you for the link. It's a web-based interface as I saw.
I didn't get it to work unfortunately, eventhough I allowed every
connection I was asked for.

I'll give it another try today.

Thanks for checking the files I sent!

Try the latest interface:

I just got back to the desk, I'll do some tests with th efiles you posted,
thanks!

Hi John,

I'm using connector 1.6.1 and the 1.2.5 interface.

I just made a really simple example for you to test.
It doesn't have any classes, so no _global.com,
but I'm having the same issue with _level0, I can
only take a snapshot of _level0. If I type _level0.squares
(or select the movieclip squares from the _level0 tree) and then
press the snapshot button, it doesn't work.

You can download the files from
http://www.zefxis.gr/files/xray.zip

Thanks a lot!

[Flashcoders] Job Posting - for real!

[Michael Levine]

Thanks and sorry to cause a mini-debate! Onto the job posting already!:

Pileated Pictures is looking for senior level freelance Flash programmers
with a wide array of experience making flash based games. Multiplayer Flash
game experience and knowledge is a major plus.

Pileated has been making Flash content and games since 1999, when I founded
it. I personally have been in the games industry since 1990, and I promise
you, I only wear suits to weddings and funerals, period. We are a virtual
studio and looking for Flash game programmers who have a full knowledge of
Flash, AS3, Flex, backend web scripting languages and databases to help us
make games, and help us develop our flash-based MMO engine, which is already
under development.

Please reply to me if interested at "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I am not going to
post a list of specific job requirements or salary - all is somewhat
negotiable. I can say you will be paid well if you are who we are looking
for, get to work with experienced industry veterans, and most important -
have a lot of fun!

Thanks for your time,

Mike

lol.

Get a dictionary. Unethical is shooting someone, stealing, lying,
spamming, and perhaps other things you could educate us about.

Posting a job to a list where the administrator (Dave Watts), says
it's ok would not seem to qualify. Perhaps its unethical on
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but on flashcoders, posting jobs
has been deemed acceptable.

Especially from a gmail user, is there anything easier than killing or

I like seeing what jobs are out there and what skills and pay go with
it. So far, the offers are few and far between, and are usually high
level, not the hip-hip we need Flash for free! your chance to be seen
by millions! stuff of craigslist.

Just my opinion, but, hey, we all have one ;)

This is a ridiculous analogy, but to me, a job post here is kind of
like jumping up on stage in the middle of a play with an advertisement
for a nearby coffee shop.  You have the target demographic's
attention, but not in context.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive

[Kent Haynes]

This projector is actually being launched from a java app and talks using a 
socket.  So I'll just pass in whatever the drive letter is, as discovered by 
the java app and build the full path.

That should work...

Specifying the full path in all (local) cases wouldn't be a bad thing.

If I understand correctly, I can use relative path if project is on a

a removable or remote drive? :-\

Thanks for the clarifications!

RE: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive

[Nick Weekes]

Couldn’t you use the _url property of the parent MC to return the fully
qualifed path to the swf (including the drive letter)?  Then do a _url +
relativePathtoFLV?

the tricky part is to find what drive letter it is for the person that is

I wonder if a for loop would fix the case.

If your SWF is running on the same drive as the FLV, _level0._url contains 
everything you need.

I have a small piece of script that was passed down to me and I cant figure
out how to stop it from executing:

var interval:Number = 60;
myTimeTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pBar, "_height",
mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone,0,162,interval,true);

I have tried different methods:

delete myTimeTween;
delete mx.transitions.Tween;
clearInterval(interval);
myTimeTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pBar, "_height",
mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone,0,162,0,true);
delete interval;
Create a new frame and send the playhead to the next frame;

but none of those seem to work, I have even tried to fire all the statements
above at once (and some others that I cant remember rigt now)and still the
tween keeps on executing.

Any Pointers or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I almost always shoehorn all my v2 components into their own movieclips so I 
can ignore DepthManager completely. If each lives in a separate clip, you know 
they can't interfere with the drawing API.

Jorge, here's an example of using ExternalInterface to send stage
dimensions to JavaScript.

Hope I'm not OT on this one.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive

[Kent Haynes]

Well the issue wasn't that it was a remote or removable drive.  It had to do 
with the FAT32 file system on that drive.  The project worked perfectly on an 
NTFS formatted USB drive and again wouldn't work on a local FAT32 drive.  So 
it's all in the formatting baby ;)

If I understand correctly, I can use relative path if project is on a CD, the 
WEB or  on a local drive but have to use absolute path if its on a removable or 
remote drive? :-\

Thanks for the clarifications!

[Flashcoders] Tween Class with Set Interval deletion

[Helmut Granda]

I have a small piece of script that was passed down to me and I cant figure
out how to stop it from executing:

var interval:Number = 60;
myTimeTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pBar, "_height",
mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone,0,162,interval,true);

I have tried different methods:

delete myTimeTween;
delete mx.transitions.Tween;
clearInterval(interval);
myTimeTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(pBar, "_height",
mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone,0,162,0,true);
delete interval;
Create a new frame and send the playhead to the next frame;

but none of those seem to work, I have even tried to fire all the statements
above at once (and some others that I cant remember rigt now)and still the
tween keeps on executing.

Any Pointers or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

...helmut

RE: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive

[Kent Haynes]

Well that's what I was using I'm sorry I should have been more clear.  My 
String was "\\English\\flv\\myFlv.flv"

But under FAT32 it appears it does have to be "c:\\english\\flv\myFlv.flv" that 
works.

Okay we're accessing them with relative paths.  The exe is located at the base 
of the directory and the flv's are in "\english\flv\myFlv.flv"

So I'm doing FLVPlayback.contenPath = "\english\flv\myFlv.flv"

Do I need to have the drive letter in there as well?


I just tried changing the publish settings to the access network only and it 
didn't do anything.

Thanks

also, try setting your publish settings for Flash 8 to "access network only"
and see if that helps, after you get the drive letter thing worked out.

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox,Depth,& Draw API - Bug?

[Merrill, Jason]

Thanks, I tried kTop and kTopmost as well, and it didn't work either.
There is some kind of conflict between V2 components and the draw API
depth which I can't seem to get DepthManager to solve.

 Hmm... I have been playing with the DepthManager class,
alternatively
 trying:

 my_cb = DepthManager.createClassObjectAtDepth(mx.controls.ComboBox,
 DepthManager.kCursor);

 and setting the drawn on mc to HighestDepth

 or creating the ComboBox at usual depth and setting the depth of
the
 movieClip being drawn on to DepthManager.kCursor and other static

 but it still remains behind the drawn on movie clips.

  Is this a bug?  Try the sample code out below -
 
  Why is it that if you specify an explicit depth for a movie
clip
 (SEE
  LINE 2 OF THE FIRST SET OF CODE BELOW) and draw on it with the
>>draw
 >>API,
  and a comboBox made later with a depth of
getNextHighestDepth()
 will
  have a drop down which displays over the drawn portion of the
>>movie
 >>clip
  AS EXPECTED, but when you use getNextHighestDepth() on the
movie
 clip
  (SEE LINE 2 OF THE SECOND SET OF CODE BELOW), the comboBox's
 dropdown
 >>is
  BEHIND the drawn portions of the clip, even though the depth
of
>>the
 >>clip
  is greater???
 
  So in other words, this:
 
  //CODE SAMPLE #1
  import mx.controls.ComboBox;
  mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle", 1);
  mc.beginFill(0x00aaFF, 100);
  mc.lineStyle(4, 0xFF, 100);
  mc.moveTo(0, 0);
  mc.lineTo(100, 100);
  mc.lineTo(0, 100);
  mc.lineTo(0, 0);
  this.createClassObject(mx.controls.ComboBox, "my_cb",
  this.getNextHighestDepth());
  for (i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
    my_cb.addItem({label:i});
  }
  trace("mc depth: "+mc.getDepth());
  trace("my_cb. depth: "+my_cb.getDepth());
  //cb depth is higher than "mc" as expected
 
  Vs. this:
 
  //CODE SAMPLE #2 (only diff. from CODE 1 is line 2)
  import mx.controls.ComboBox;
  mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle",
 >>this.getNextHighestDepth());
  mc.beginFill(0x00aaFF, 100);
  mc.lineStyle(4, 0xFF, 100);
  mc.moveTo(0, 0);
  mc.lineTo(100, 100);
  mc.lineTo(0, 100);
  mc.lineTo(0, 0);
  this.createClassObject(mx.controls.ComboBox, "my_cb",

  }

Re: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive

[eric dolecki]

Try the drive letter (full path)

Okay we're accessing them with relative paths.  The exe is located at
the base of the directory and the flv's are in "\english\flv\myFlv.flv"

So I'm doing FLVPlayback.contenPath = "\english\flv\myFlv.flv"

Do I need to have the drive letter in there as well?


I just tried changing the publish settings to the access network only
and it didn't do anything.

Thanks

also, try setting your publish settings for Flash 8 to "access network

and see if that helps, after you get the drive letter thing worked out.

i am under the impression that the string performance increases are avm2
only.

On 9/5/06, Peter Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


In general, swf7 content should be the same or faster in FP8/9 than in
FP7. AVM2 is completely separate from AVM1, but some aspects are
shared. For example the incremental garbage collector, which was
introduced in FP8. It's *possible* that certain apps on certain
systems might appear to run slower, because of how they consume memory
and how that affects the GC, but this would apply to FP8 as well as 9.

Strings are stored and managed differently in AVM2, and I'm not sure
if that code change is shared with AVM1. This is supposedly an overall
performance improvement, vastly reducing memory usage when you do a
lot of string concatenation, but might be slightly slower in a few
cases.

When people discuss performance, they are usually talking about
rendering. As far as I am aware, this has hardly changed, with the
exception of new (optional) features, such as bitmap caching.

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox,Depth,& Draw API - Bug?

[Pete Miller]

I think you want to avoid using kCursor.  That is a special level
reserved for, you got it, the cursor.  There is also another special
reserved level for combobox dropdowns which is set high enough to be
above all normal levels.  Try creating your combobox and the movieclip
using DepthManager.kTop or kTopmost.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive

[Kent Haynes]

Okay we're accessing them with relative paths.  The exe is located at
the base of the directory and the flv's are in "\english\flv\myFlv.flv"

So I'm doing FLVPlayback.contenPath = "\english\flv\myFlv.flv"

Do I need to have the drive letter in there as well?


I just tried changing the publish settings to the access network only
and it didn't do anything.

Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive

[Derek Vadneau]

Have you tried specifying a full path, i.e. E:\english\flv\Classroom.flv ?

Unless you are specifying that in AS, then it's:
myflvpb.contentPath = "E:\\english\\flv\\Classroom.flv";

Just a thought.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive

[John Grden]

If you use a UNC url you can't load/play FLV's - it won't work.

you have to have a drive letter mapped.  I assume, though, that your USB has
a drive letter - yes?

bad:  \\serverName\folder\myfile.flv

good:  J:\folder\myfile.flv

Hello everyone!
Has anyone experience this while using xRay for debugging:

- the trace method does not output anything in the external interface
I have the latest xray, Flash 8, WinXP sp2 with up to date patches and

If the external interface is not open the traces go to the Flash Output

I suspect that it's a LocalConnection security issue but still the

Personally, I think Job postings are OK, when I was searching, it helped
me get in touch with some potential employers and I had 2 interviews
from those posts.  To me, it's the Sydney user group meeting
announcements that are annoying.  Dave said that was OK too, but there
are FREE mailing list setup sites out there they could use instead and I
bet 1% or less of us actually live in the Sydney area.  The other posts
about Flash coding, I skim through and get knowledge from. The job
posts, even if I'm not looking,  I like to see who's hiring, for what,
and why, etc. - industry trends but Sydney user groups have no value
to me.  But that's just me. :)

[Flashcoders] flashplayer bitmap data bug or my coding wrong... PLEASE HELP

[PR Durand]

i've found where is exactly the problem:
http://www.adobe.com/go/7c90fec7 : a known bug saying that with flash 
playr 9, it's impossible to create a bitmapdata snapshot of an FLV 
streamed by FMS2.


it seems that the problem goes further... with images loaded from 
different domain


please take 2mn to copy/paste this code in flash... nothing ele needed
press ctrl-enter. in Flash it works.

http://www.foolarts.com/testBD3.html
here it works too because the swf and jpg domain is the same

http://test.nodule.com/makar/testBD3.html
but here it doesn't, while swf and jpg domains aren't the same... 
however the image is loaded in the moviecliploader... did I make 
something wrong or is it a player bug?


here's the source of the swf I linked, there's nothing else in the flash

import flash.display.BitmapData;

mcPicto = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mcPicto",1);
mcPicto2 = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mcPicto2",2);

displayPicto = function()
{
   var oBD:BitmapData = new 
BitmapData(mcPicto._width,mcPicto._height,true,0x00);

   mcPicto2._y = mcPicto._height + 10;
   mcPicto2.attachBitmap(oBD,1);
   oBD.draw(mcPicto);
}
  


var oMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var oL:Object = new Object();
oL.onLoadInit = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,displayPicto);
oMCL.addListener(oL);
oMCL.loadClip("http://www.foolarts.com/crapaud.jpg",mcPicto);

sit on a FLAs stage (many frames).

I want to change the font and the anti-alias on all of them.  Have tried
google but can't find what I'm looking for.  I have "Extending Flash MX

[Flashcoders] flash player bitmap data and mouse position bugs?

[PR Durand]

Hi list
does anyone knows if the flash player 8 bitmap data memory leak is 
corrected in flash player 9?

I encounter 2 strange things in my current app.
I'm making an online video mix table with an FMS2 connection for 
recording the audio comments. the flv sources are loaded from a VOD 
server, and the user data from an http server... The player player web 
plugin began to do strange things when I connected my app to all those 
different sources.


*The bitmapData sometimes stays on the the screen
*I've made a drag'n'drop component. It takes a picture of the original 
icon, attaches it on a _level0 draggedmovieclip, and removes it when 
dropped in a dropZone.
The onDropped method in the DraggedClipCopy.as class makes a 
this.myBD.dispose(), a delete this.myBD, and a this.removeMovieClip()
It works in flash IDE, worked in FF and IE, and when I changed the 
server pathes, the bitmapData began to remain on screen after the 
dispose and remove ... I've changed several things in my class 
organisation, and it changed behavior: my first BitmapData doesn't work 
at all in flash player plugin, all the other ones after this work 
fine... strange, isn't it?

Any idea? I have to give back my work at next midnight

*The movieClip hit zone isn't the same as the movieClip displayed zone:
*Another problem occuring only in the flash web plugin, after linking 
the project to several different servers (ie 2 stats server and 1 
webservice server):
I got some movieClip with onRelease events wich don't react exactly on 
the zone they display. As an exemple, a navigation button didn't worked 
on its left half, but only on its right half, and in the empty zone at 
the right of the button : as if the movieclip hitZone._y were setted to 
movieclip._y+(movieclip._width/2)
And in my current project, it makes a problem on my drag'n'drop 
component : the dropZones have to react on the onRollOver, and they now 
swith to "over" state when the mouse isn't physically located over the 
object...
My class works fine in a simple flash, and worked fine before I linked 
the app to external server.
I can't see the link between movieclip.onRollover and 
flvPlayback.contentPath nor netConnection.uri


Any help or info would be greatfull, I hope it comes from me and not 
from the flash player, so it could be corrected. but as I described the 
thing, you can see that it's strange...

Based on your code,

Try this:

var wedgename:Array = Array("always", "never", "sometimes", "yes", 
"no","often", "rarely", "undecided");

var thingname;
for (var z:Number=0; z   _root.attachMovie("wedgelabel", "wedgelabel"+z, 
this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:(z*10)+100, _y:(z*10)+100});

   _root["wedgelabel"+z].wedgename.text = wedgename[z];
}


Or this:

var wedgename:Array = Array("always", "never", "sometimes", "yes", 
"no","often", "rarely", "undecided");

var thingname;
for (var z:Number=0; z   var thingname = _root.attachMovie("wedgelabel", "wedgelabel"+z, 
this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:(z*10)+100, _y:(z*10)+100});

   thingname.wedgename.text = wedgename[z];
}

Cheers

Re: [Flashcoders] >> Var untouch

Hello :)

try this code :


var list:Array = [
   "always",
   "never",
   "sometimes",
   "yes",
   "no",
   "often",
   "rarely",
   "undecided"
] ;

var len:Number = list.length ; // important to optimize your speed

for (var i:Number=0; i< len ; i++)
{

  var current:MovieClip = attachMovie("wedgelabel", "wedgelabel"+i, i ) ;
  trace("> create : " + current) ;
  current._x =  i * 10 + 100 ;
  current._y =  i * 10 + 100 ;
  current.wedgename.text = list[i];

}

You can use a local reference (current in my example) to target your current
movieclip, it's more easy ;)

EKA+ :)
