Re: [Flashcoders] How do you manage your classes?

[mario]

Hi,

the current setup we use in our company is that we have a core library  
that holds all of our core-code we reuse all the time, this core is  
stored and maintained in SVN. This library is imported as a linked  
library in Eclipse (e.g. its more like an alias/shortcut to the core).  
Other project specific code gets developed on project level on their  
respective package level.


If for some reason we need to enhance some of the core-code we do this  
on the project level (your settings should _ALWAYS_ first look in your  
local project before looking in the core). This way you can test the  
enhancements against other older projects or unittests you might have  
written before committing them back into the core.


The last important step we take is to make a copy of the core into the  
project folder when we complete developement, this is to make sure  
that when the core gets updated later on we have a working copy of the  
core just in case (backward compatibility breaking in an upgrade).


Hope this helps.

cheers,
mario











Quoting Dan Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Flashcoders,

I've been wondering how other flash developers deal with AS2/AS3 class
management on both a project-based and common library level, while
addressing the need to package up source code for a given project to
deliver to a team member or client.

I've used version control before, as well as doing the common classpath
thing for shared classes... but when it's time to deliver the source
code to someone, I would have to go in and hunt for all the classes I
used on a project and copy them to the FLA directory (and recreate the
com.package... structure as well).  Sometimes it seems faster to simply
create the AS files along with the FLA (in a single package), and copy
over utility files as needed.  But then you get into duplicate classes
scattered over multiple projects.

Can anyone provide any insight to a system that works well for them?
For example, does anyone run custom shell scripts (such as rsync) that
sync the current project with the main classpath directory?

Thanks,
-Danro

I just want to comment generally that Subversion is the successor to CVS.
You can find full documentation here:

If you are going to use open source version control, I will hazard to say
that Subversion can not be beat.

For automation, I believe that Subversion integrates well with Ant.


It does not. There are no built in svn tasks.

But you can of course write commands to do it.

They are in the same domain, and I created a crossdomain.xml to cover
various hostnames (just in case). The required remoting classes are compiled
in as when the movie is not loaded into another, it runs as it should. The
issue is only when it is loaded into another movie.

Hi there - I have a movie in which I use remoting to load images and data.
When run on it's own, it functions perfect. When it is loaded into another
movie, some data does not load. I have used "service capture" 
and my data is in fact returned. Now I am pretty confident with the code
since it runs on it's own perfect. I thought at first that it might be a
scope issue or an issue with the _root time line - but I have ruled that out
as I only use a relative path as opposed to an absolute path.

IS this a known bug? I have been googling for a few hours already.

Re: [Flashcoders] combobox label not displaying any text

[Rich Rodecker]

i am embedding the font through a dynamic textfiled on the main timeline,
since adding a font symbol takes up way more space.

Re: [Flashcoders] combobox label not displaying any text

the font must be available as a symbol font in the library. And, in some
cases, the font must be in the library of the main movie, in the case of
combobox being in a movie loaded by another one. This is because Flash
creates the combobox list in _level0. Sometime I created a combobox inside a

Re: [Flashcoders] swf to svg

[David Rorex]

I believe most vector drawing tools will let you export/save as SVG. For
example, http://www.inkscape.org/ is a free vector editing tool. Another
popular tool is Adobe's Illustrator.

If you really want to use flash to make SVG, another option is to save as
something besides SWF.
For example, Flash can export DXF as well as EPS files, perhaps those would
be easier to convert to SVG.

Re: [Flashcoders] How do you manage your classes?

Using SVN, etc. make a repository on a shared server somewhere. Include
classes from there in your projects. Just make sure you update & you're all
good to go.

Flashcoders,

I've been wondering how other flash developers deal with AS2/AS3

I've used version control before, as well as doing the common

get into duplicate classes scattered over multiple projects.

Can anyone provide any insight to a system that works well for them?
For example, does anyone run custom shell scripts (such as rsync)
that sync the current project with the main classpath directory?

Re: [Flashcoders] Video chat

[greg h]

Mike,

Another book that I might suggest is Programming Flash Communication
Serverby
Lesser, Guilizzoni, Reinhardt, Lott and Watkins.

If you are working with FlashCom or Flash Media Server, this book remains a
great resource.  It was published in 2005 so I believe it is updated for MX
2004 and AS2.  Chapter 13:  Building Communication Components, goes through
building a "Video Conference and Video Window".

You might try posting your question on
http://www.flashcomguru.com/flashmedialist/  Folks who know alot more than
me are on that list.

btw ... if you know AS2 I think you will be able to work your way through
sample applications written in AS1.  (Did you know AS2 code actually
compiles down to the same bytecode as AS1?  Now AS3 is something that takes
a bit of 
retooling:-)

I just checked my bookshelf, and other than the book above, I am not finding
any more recent titles with Video Chat examples.  Most excitement around
Video Chat in Flash found its outlet when Flash Communications Server was
first released.  So most sample apps are of the MX, AS1 vintage.  And the
V1  Communication Components provided by Macromedia have never been
updated.  There are now some examples around Flex 2, but those are AS3.

hth,

g

Mike,

I believe a server is required for video chat with Flash.  Either Flash
Media Server or Red5.

The sample apps for Flash Media Server include a "Video Conference" app,
which is essentially video chat.  You can download the sample apps here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/sample_apps.html

Most books on Flash Media Server (and it's predecessor Flash
Communications Server) include examples.

For example, Chapter 14 of the book "Macromedia MX: Building Rich Internet
Applications" by Robert Reinhardt and Simon Allardice details "Creating a
Video Instant Messenger" and the included CD has all the code.  Used copies
are inexpensive at Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Macromedia-MX-Building-Internet-Applications/dp/0321158814/

There are also prebuilt components you can buy, and even hosted Flash
video chat services that you can add to your site.

If details on any of these other options would be helpful, please post
back on this thread regarding what you would like more details on.

hth,

g

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Change publish path dynamically

You could write a jsfl to loop all open FLAs, or perhaps all FLAs in a
project if you're using the project panel. The latter I haven't done yet,
but should be possible.

also, finding that textfield was a complete nightmare until I got a hold of
gSearch ;)  I was able to bring up all dynamic textfields, click to each of
them through the list and find it within a couple of minutes ;)

I had meant to include this in the last post, just didn't know if I had
permission to say anything ;)  gSearch is in limited beta right now and
they're (Gskinner and the gang) trying to get it out.  I've used it on
serveral occasions with very large projects like the one mentioned and it
was an absolute God send.

Re: [Flashcoders] embedded font not displaying

[John Grden]

also, depending on the what sytles you apply to your html (IE: ),
you'll have to embed that part of the font as well.

to do this,

1.  create a dynamic textfield on stage and select the font you want to use
2.  Click the "render text as HTML" button in the property inspector
3.  Double click to enter text
4.  type:  r b i bi
5.  select the "b", click the "bold" button.  Select the "i", click the
"italic" button, select "bi" and click the "bold" then "italic" button.
6.  what you should have is something that looks like this:  r b  i bi
7.  Click the "embed..." button - select Uppercase, Lowercase, Numerals,
Punctuation - click ok to close

put this textbox off stage somewhere and hide it.  It's only job is to
include the normal, italic, bold and bold/italic font outlines.  Create
another dynamic text box that will recieve your HTML formatted data and you
should be good.

hth vic!

Re: [Flashcoders] embedded font not displaying

[vic]

I have been having font issues with Flash for the longest time.  First, I want 
to say hello to you all, I am brand new here and really impressed by the level 
of programming.  I came from actionscript.org where I almost always help people 
out but I dont think that is going to be the case for me here for some time.  

Anyway, I was working on this international site that had to display different 
languages depending upon an HTML querystring.  The copy is pulled from XML.  So 
what I needed to do was to use actionscript to embed the font but when I did 
that I could not format it as HTML.  Does anyone have the solution...it could 
be myText.htmlText = 'foo' but I am not sure. 

Thanks,

That "decodeEntities" function is actually taken from a class I wrote to
overcome some annoyances with xfactorstudios Xpath implementation.  So
in part of the class I just use that private function as needed in a
getString function I wrote which returns a string (also works with
CDATA):

public function getString(path:String, CDATA:Boolean):String{
var returnValue:String;
if(CDATA){
returnValue = XMLNode(XPath.selectNodes(this.XMLObj,
path+"/text()")[0]).nodeValue;
}else{
returnValue = String(XPath.selectNodes(this.XMLObj,
path)[0]);
}
return decodeEntities(returnValue);
};

I can send you the class offlist if you like.

Alright, what am I doing wrong?  I have tried over and over to

Here is the node:

RE: [Flashcoders] Implicit Setters: Is validation considered a goodor bad OOP practice ?

[Mike Keesey]

This is generally the route I take. The only thing is that it may halt
application flow in unforeseen circumstances, so 1) unit test and beta
test really well and 2) try as much as possible to catch errors in code
that sets the property.

Subject: [Flashcoders] DECODE XML Encoded Characters?

Alright, what am I doing wrong?  I have tried over and over to
decode

XML string, but Flash won't decode it.  The XML is returning special
Characters (&'><) encoded.  I have tried to use escape, unescape,
encode, decode and I can't get anything to convert the encoded text
to
its character representation.

Here is the node:

Special Characters - &  "  '  <

var str:String = String(XPath.selectNodes(MyXML_cs.getResults(),
"//ConfigParamValue/text()")[0]);

I've tried:
trace("A: " + escape(str));// > Special Character - &

Not sure if it's the best practice, but if someone passes in a bad input
to
your setter, in AS3 you can throw errors, such as:

public function set volume( val:Number ) {

RE: [Flashcoders] DECODE XML Encoded Characters?

[Doug Coning]

Thanks Jason,

Yes, this does parse it correctly not so much because of the parseXML
step, but because of the nodeValue.  I've been using the XPath class to
return my XML by using the selectNodes method.  Apparently, this doesn't
parse the xml in the same manner as the nodeValue function does.  

I wonder if there is a way to get the XPath class to return the XML in
the decoded manner like the nodeValue method does?

Thanks again!

Doug Coning

Re: [Flashcoders] Implicit Setters: Is validation considered a good or bad OOP practice ?

[slangeberg]

so if it's a bad input, it cannot tell the object

that is modifying the setter property that something went wrong.

Not sure if it's the best practice, but if someone passes in a bad input to
your setter, in AS3 you can throw errors, such as:

public function set volume( val:Number ) {
  if ( val == bad_news ) {
throw new Error( "Volume Class - set volume(): Bad value passed in [" +
val+ "]" );
  }
}

(3) definitly.

It's called "defensive programming". Try to have your API as much
checked (type-wise and logical-wise) as possible. This will enforce your
internal logic constraints and prevent faultly programs.

For instance any other component of your application (an UI for example)
will except your volume to be positive and not NaN so you cannot allow
such values to be set.

And you shouldn't ignore this error also since silently ignoring errors
will make you and others lose hours of debugging when something goes wrong

"damn ! why this f... volume does not get set"
answer : because it's NaN

RE: [Flashcoders] DECODE XML Encoded Characters?

[Giles Taylor]

Those are html encodings. If you put them into an HTML textField "as is"
they will work fine (if that is what you are after).

Escape and unescape deal with URL encoding which is a different thing.

If you want the html encoding to turn into the actual characters then I
don't think flash can do it without you writing your own parser.

It's called "defensive programming". Try to have your API as much
checked (type-wise and logical-wise) as possible. This will enforce your
internal logic constraints and prevent faultly programs.

For instance any other component of your application (an UI for example)
will except your volume to be positive and not NaN so you cannot allow
such values to be set.

And you shouldn't ignore this error also since silently ignoring errors
will make you and others lose hours of debugging when something goes wrong

RE: [Flashcoders] Label --> null

I think you probably want parenthesis around your typecast, as

var label:Label = (Label)(owner.attachMovie(Label.symbolName,
instanceName, depth, initObj));

RE: [Flashcoders] Help debug a webservice issue

[Pete Miller]

Try putting a saveResultObj.onFault() handler in your code to see if
you're getting a failure response.  Note that if your server responds
with a 505 HTTP header, your fault handler won't see it, as the Flash
player filters these out.  You need a TCP snoop utility to monitor the
messages passed between your client and server to see if this is the
case or whether the response is intermittently failing to be sent or
intermittently failing to be processed.

RE: [Flashcoders] Implicit Setters: Is validation considered a good orbad OOP practice ?

[Mark Lapasa]

The OO motivation behind using setter (and getters) is that it enforces the
notion that nobody should be able to manipulate the state of the object
except the object itself. If you follow this design principal as well as a
handful of others, you will keep your code low-coupled, less likely to be
spaghetti-like.

Today, your code compiles and looks great. However tommorow in the distant
future, under circumstances where you would work in teams or your code gets
in the hands of someone else, you cannot be certain they have the same
mentality as you did when you coded it out.

"Is it a good or bad practice to validate the value passed to the implicit
setter method" ? Sure, why not. However setter methods, if I can remember,
don't allow for a return so if it's a bad input, it cannot tell the object
that is modifying the setter property that something went wrong.

The 3 options you are presenting is a matter of unit testing. Can you
anticipate that other programmers can break your code under certain
circumstances by inputing certain kinds of parameters? If you have a set of
test cases that will fulfil your requirements, then you will have to
bulletproof your code to meet the degree of detail required to pass those
tests.

It's very easy to imagine how many ways something goes wrong but the real
enemy for most programmers is time. Do you have the time to write validation
code for every setter in every class? It's really your discretion.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Implicit Setters: Is validation considered a good
orbad OOP practice ?


I've been reading and learning about OO design &
analysis for the past few months and I've just
recently started applying what I've learned in my
Flash projects ?

Learning a new language (like AS3) is no biggie but
learning how to code differently (from procedural to
OOP) is the real challenge for me !

So here's my first OOP question :

When using implicit setter methods (using the set
modifier), is it considered a good or bad practice to
validate the value passed to the implicit setter
method ?

For exemple, let's say I'm building a Flash Video
Player component and I decide that, amongst others, it
must have a volume component parameter which is a
Number.

In the implicit setter method for the volume, should I
validate the value that is passed to this method and
make sure it isn't null or undefined, it isn't NaN and
that it isn't lower than 0 or higher than 100 ?

Which of the following options is best :

1) Do not validate the value and let the user of my
component set the volume to undesired values like
null, undefined, NaN, -20, 973, etc. Here, the
assignment will work as expected whatever the value is
(unless it's of another datatype) but the component
might fail at runtime since a volume obviously can
never be NaN or null for exemple.

2) Validate the value and, if it is null, undefined or
NaN, do nothing. If it is lower than 0, set it to 0.
If it is higher than 100, set it to 100 ? Here, the
assignment might not work as expected if the valus is
undesired (like null or NaN for exemple) so this will
prevent the component from failing at runtime but the
user won't know that his assignment wasn't succesfull.

3) Validate the value and it it's an undesired value,
throw an error ? Here, the component prevents the user
from assigning and undesired value like NaN or
undefined and the user is alerted of the failure at
runtime provided that he used a try catch statement.

What do you guys think ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Code review, please

1. Comment your code!


Ah, yes, of course. Sorry about that. I'll comment it right away.


2. Are you using the MVC pattern? It's not really clear from the
code, but it looks somewhat like it


nope, I don't use pattern. I just want to make the HistoryList and
HistoryItem 'talk' to each other. I don't know anything about pattern
(I've just started reading Headfirst DP book).


3. What's "hl.as"? It's an ill chosen file/class name.


Oops, my bad ... It shouldn't be there! It's the external .as that I
included in the first (procedural) version of my app.

1. Comment your code! It looks structured enough, so adding comments

2. Are you using the MVC pattern? It's not really clear from the

Re: [Flashcoders] >> Simplify

[JOR]

If your getScale function is called many times a second you should keep 
it the way it is.  The way you currently have it is the most efficient 
way of doing it and will yield higher FPS.


However, if speed isn't and issue and you are not calling this function 
very often and want to simplify it purely from a readability standpoint 
then Martin's setPropInGroup() function is a good way to do that.

RE: [Flashcoders] >> Simplify

[Merrill, Jason]

Keep an array of your movie clips and then loop through the array to set
the properties.  Also, keep the setting of specific movie clip
properties (lor_mc ._xscale= frc_mc._xscale) separate from the setting
of generic movie clips (mc._xscale = 300;).  Those should be two
separate functions. 

Also, why is it called getScale if it doesn't "get" anything?

Subject: [Flashcoders] Help debug a webservice issue

I've got a webservice which is acting up and I'm trying to figure
out
>>if
it's a .NET server issue, a c# script issue, a Flash Webservice
component issue, or something else.

The problem is the onResult listener gets fired sometimes, sometimes
not.  It had been working fine until yesterday.  My Actionscript
(snippet) is as follows:

("theObject" is an object I format in Flash - it remains unchanged
in
tests)

saveResultObj = new Object();
saveResultObj  = myWS.SaveProject(theObject);
saveResultObj.targetMC = someMovieClip_mc;
saveResultObj.onResult = function(result){
//this function only gets fired intermittently!
trace("result received");
this.targetMC.doSomething();
}

The SaveProject()method in c# takes an object as it's parameter.
The
object and its properties/values are unchanged every time I test, so
I
don't see how it could be the c# script.  The onResult event fire
intermittently - and on the occasions it doesn't fire, the
>>SaveProject()
method still ran just fine (one of the things SaveProject does is
>>create
XML, and I see the XML gets updated correctly), but the result
doesn't
get fired back all the time.

I can't seem to find any correlation, so it seems to be some kind of
connection issue with the webservice?  Or could it be some kind of
bug
with the Webservice component's onResult event?  If it's a .NET
server
issue, what could it be?

Ideas?  Thanks

[Flashcoders] Movieclip To BitmapData won't work with .flv

[Martin Baltzer Hennelund]

Hi all,

I'm using the BitmapData Object to take a "snapshot" of the pages in my flash 
app and it works fine on movieclips without a flv video player inside. 
But on of the pages has an movieclip inside it which is playing (streaming) a 
flv file and when I try to take a snapshot of this page movieclip the bitmap 
objects returns empty (It is created but is blank). When I remove the 
movieplayer mc the bitmapdata is created correctly!

What am I doing wrong or is this flash bug?

Cheers Martin

Heres my code

//--
public function toBitmapData(mContent:MovieClip):BitmapData{

  var width:Number  = Math.min( Math.ceil(mContent._width), 2880);
  var height:Number = Math.min(Math.ceil(mContent._height), 2880);

  var oBmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(width,height, true, 0x55ff);
 
  oBmp.draw( mContent ); 
  
  //debugging   
  var m:MovieClip = _level0.createEmptyMovieClip("mcTest", 9);
  m.attachBitmap(oBmp, 1);
  
  return oBmp;
}
//--

Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback and SMIL

FLVPlayback only supports a subset of SMIL, which bits I'm not sure.  
I've asked on the wishlist for a proper SMIL renderer, but who knows  
if that will ever happen.


The release notes for the FLVPlayback updater include some info about  
fixes to SMIL bugs, though.
