[Flashcoders] RE: Find point after rotation

[Jack Doyle]

Pick up a copy of "Foundation ActionScript Animation: Making Things Move!"
by Keith Peters. Best $26.39 (at Amazon.com) you'll ever spend. The answer
to your question (and a bunch more you never knew you had) is in that book.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Find point after rotation

Hi, having some math problems... hoping someone can help

Lets say I have a rectangle (height > width). I need to know the bottom
middle point. That would be point(clipWidth / 2, clipHeight).
But I am having a hard time keeping track of this point after I rotate that
clip. If I rotate the clip 40 degrees (clip._rotation = -40), where on the
stage is that bottom middle point now?

I have searched the forums, and came up with alot of finding the angles, but
all seem to assume I know 2 points.
Closest I've gotten is using:
x=ClipWidth / 2 + Math.cos(angle)
y=ClipWidth / 2 - Math.sin(angle)

Sorry, I'm s rusty with math and hoping someone can push me in the right
direction. Right now I'm trying to figure out the radius of the 'circle'
that is formed while rotating, but that isn't going anywhere (fast anway).

Thanks for any tips,
Jason

Re: [Flashcoders] Find point after rotation

[Michael Bedar]

if you are trying to find the midpoint of the bottom, you could use  
the midpoint formula instead of using the rotation.. would be faster..

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Player 9 & FullScreen Mode

In windows are you able to alt+tab between fullscreen swf's?


Well, this is a huge can of worms.

Thankfully, there's this:

-8<-8<-8<-8<-8<-8<-8<-8<-8<-

End-user security was a key consideration in the implementation of this 
feature, and developers need to understand the following end-user, 
security-related restrictions and design content accordingly:
 a.. To enable full-screen mode, developers must add a new  and 
 tag parameter, allowFullScreen, to their HTML. This parameter 
defaults to false, or not allowing full screen. To allow full-screen, 
developers must set allowFullScreen to true in their / tags.
 b.. An overlay dialog box will appear when the movie enters full-screen 
mode, instructing the user how to exit and return to normal mode. The dialog 
box appears for a few seconds and then fades out.
 c.. The ActionScript that initiates full-screen mode can be called only in 
response to a mouse click or keypress. If it is called in other situations, 
it will be ignored (in ActionScript 2.0) or throw an exception (in 
ActionScript 3.0).
 d.. Users cannot enter text in text input fields while in full-screen 
mode. All keyboard input and key-related ActionScript is disabled while in 
full-screen mode, with the exception of the keyboard shortcuts that take the 
viewer out of full-screen mode.

-8<-8<-8<-8<-8<-8<-8<-8<-8<-

Pretty cool, I just find it weird that the user can't input text while in 
full screen mode. Probably to avoid browser hijackers, but still wack.

Re: [Flashcoders] Find point after rotation

[Zeh Fernando]

orry, I'm s rusty with math and hoping someone can push me in the 
right

direction. Right now I'm trying to figure out the radius of the 'circle'
that is formed while rotating, but that isn't going anywhere (fast anway).


Just to kinda repeat what everybody has said -- 

You could easily find the angle of that point, rotate it a few more degrees, 
find the right X/Y and be done with it. Using flash.geom.Point would make it 
a snap.


However, when rotating movieclips, there's the problem of precision like 
Mark said. Sometimes this won't matter, and sometimes this will be utterly 
important. I had a lot of issues with that on agenciatudo.com: the movement 
is done based on a given destination point and was "snapping" too much) 
until I realized the rotation's degree of precision was messing with my 
camera angles (which were 'correctly' set based on another of the image's 
axis. Since the image is pretty big (3000x1600) it was pretty messy.


Because of this, your *best* choice is to make a new point using the 
coordinates of your movieclip, doing a localToGlobal on it from the original 
movieclip, then a globalToLocal on whichever scope you wanted the 
coordinates to be. That's what I've done on my case and it worked perfectly. 
In your case, it'd be something like this:


 import flash.geom.Point;
 var p:Point = new Point(clipWidth / 2, clipHeight);
 this.myMC.localToGlobal(p);
 this.globalToLocal(p);

Then p.x and p.y will have the new coordinates.

Really, localToGlobal/globalToLocal saves *a lot* of time and avoids a lot 
of headache.

Re: [Flashcoders] Find point after rotation

[Mark Winterhalder]

Lets say I have a rectangle (height > width). I need to know the bottom middle 
point. That would be point(clipWidth / 2, clipHeight).


So we'll say:
var x = clipWidth / 2;
var y = clipHeight;


Closest I've gotten is using:
x=ClipWidth / 2 + Math.cos(angle)
y=ClipWidth / 2 - Math.sin(angle)


That's pretty close already -- it's what you would use to draw a
circle (by iterating the angle and connecting the resulting dots).

What you need is those two values:
var cos = Math.cos( angle );
var sin = Math.sin( angle );

Then do the following with x and y from above (your "vector" for the
"rotation matrix"):
var rotX = cos * x - sin * y;
var rotY = sin * x + cos * y;

rotX and rotY are your coordinates (relative to the rectangle clip's
position on its parent clip).

One more thing:
_rotation is stored as one byte, so it's rounded to 360 / 255. That's
something you will have to take in account for the angle if you want
to be exact, easiest would be to read the angle from the _rotation
property after you've changed that.

HTH,
Mark

the easiest way to get your task done is to attach in that point an mc

The _width and _height change based on the rotation so don't use the
stored _width and _height and instead use the current _width and
_height.

That is, unless you're trying to keep track of that exact point on the
rectangle after you rotate it, then that's something more complex.

[Flashcoders] Find point after rotation

[Jason C Reynolds]

Hi, having some math problems... hoping someone can help

Lets say I have a rectangle (height > width). I need to know the bottom middle 
point. That would be point(clipWidth / 2, clipHeight).
But I am having a hard time keeping track of this point after I rotate that 
clip. If I rotate the clip 40 degrees (clip._rotation = -40), where on the 
stage is that bottom middle point now?

I have searched the forums, and came up with alot of finding the angles, but 
all seem to assume I know 2 points.
Closest I've gotten is using:
x=ClipWidth / 2 + Math.cos(angle)
y=ClipWidth / 2 - Math.sin(angle)

Sorry, I'm s rusty with math and hoping someone can push me in the right 
direction. Right now I'm trying to figure out the radius of the 'circle' that 
is formed while rotating, but that isn't going anywhere (fast anway).

Thanks for any tips,
Jason

[Flashcoders] xical-like project

[Andrei Thomaz]

hello list,

I need to create a lot of presentations. They are very simple, so I guess I
can use Xical to make that. But I would like to ask you if there are more
projects like Xical, that can read a XML, load assets (images and sounds)
and show a slideshow, with some basic animations.

thank you,

[Flashcoders] Direct ODBC connectivity?

[Doug Coning]

Does anyone know of a flash component that allows direct connectivity
between flash and an ODBC source?  Is this an impossibility?  I know
that I could probably write a web service to pull the data, but wanted
to see if there was a component that allows me to point to any odbc data
source and then pass in the sql query?  I imagine this is not possible,
but thought I'd ask before ruling it out.

RE: [Flashcoders] VitalStream Bandwidth detection

[Rob Bayne]

looks like bwcheck to me. i'd just use p_bw in a condition where p_bw is 
detected bandwidth.

if p_bw is less than than x play stream1, else if p_bw is greater than x and 
less than y play stream2, else play stream3. 
ie. stream1=56kbps; stream2=150kbps; stream3=300kbps;

i usually run the bwcheck on an interval several times and get an average bw 
figure to go by and even dynamically change streams-- you can do it seemlessly 
by bookmarking ns.time and seeking to it once new stream has loaded.

Subject: [Flashcoders] VitalStream Bandwidth detection


Does anybody have code to detect users bandwidth on VitalStream? I'm using
the custom player source provided by vitalstream but it only works with
single bitrate streams. When I try to use a multi bitrate stream as the
sname parameter in the m_XMLURI string the player fails. Looking through the
source code I found some clues as to why it is not working, but don't have a
lot of time to debug the code and find the solution. I've been working with
VitalStream support on this and they are no help at all. They sent me links
to an irrelevent adobe tutorial as their solution.

Here is a fragment of code from that player that hints about bandwith
detection but also says it is not used?!!?

[code]
//the server calls this object to continue (auto bandwidth detection is
complete)
this["nc"+i].onBWDone = function(p_bw) {
trace("onBWDone: "+p_bw);
//we pass the successful netConnection and the
calculated bandwidth speed to
// the onconnected function to continue
this.mc.onConnected(this, p_bw);
};
m_payload = 0;
//this function is not currently used; it is for checking
bandwidth speed
// initiated by the server
this["nc"+i].onBWCheck = function() {
trace("onBWCheck returning:
"+(this.mc.m_payload+1));
return ++this.mc.m_payload;
};
[/code]

So my question is: Does anybody have a working (multi-bitrate streams)
example of a video player for the VitalStream content delivery system? They
have players that work with multi-bitrate streams in .swf format but do not
release the flv source for those players. 

Any help would be appreciated. A working .fla example would be priceless!

Thanks,
Brian

[Flashcoders] Date Format Time Zone Issues

[Kevin Bachman]

I hope someone here has run into this strange problem I am having. Using
a remoting call to a ColdFusion web service, I am returning a recordset
from my SQL database for use in my Flash application. One field in the
recordset is a datetime field type returning a date in the format
'2006-10-04 00:00:00.0' as an example. In my actionscript, I am parsing
this value to format it for display:

 

Var datestring = dayArray[result.items[i]["date"].getDay()] + " " + 

monthArray[result.items[i][ "date"].getMonth()] + " " + 

result.items[i][ "date"].getDate() + "," + " " + 

result.items[i][ "date"].getFullYear()

 

Where dayArray and monthArray are predefined

 

This displays perfectly as 'Wednesday October 4, 2006'. However, we and
our web and database server are on the east coast and we have recently
found that users with computers set to Pacific Time are getting the date
displayed 1 day earlier, 'Tuesday October 3, 2006'. I have replicated
this by setting the timezone on my own computer to Pacific Time. I have
also checked and double checked the web service return before it gets to
the Flash application and it is definitely returning the correct dates.
There should not be any time zone handling using these functions a it is
just a simple value coming directly from the database field. Has anyone
run into a date problem such as this? I am at a loss. 

 

Thanks in advance!!

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating a SWF to dynamically create SWF';s

[Robert r. Sanders]

I don't see how a generated SWF is going to be much smaller than the 
source (I could be wrong). 

As long as the files can load incrementally I don't see that the 6MB is 
too huge a problem; if you try to load it all in one go it would be, but 
if a reasonably sized XML is read in and then your images are read as 
needed it shouldn't be too much of a problem.


You could also look into some of the wrappers for actionscript draw 
commands - if some of the images are mostly shapes and text then maybe 
they could be represented as xml and drawn at run time (or loaded a 
sub-SWFs); this could potentially save space, as the same draw routines 
could be re-used vs. having tons of different but similar images.





My client has asked me to create a SWF that reads in some XML and generates
a course depending on the amount of questions images etc. in the XML.
They found out today that the XML with all the images comes to about 6MB -
so suddenly frightened by the implications of this, they've asked me if I
can develop a SWF, that when run, will generate the same content, but then
save the resultant SWF to a file, with all images, sound and questions
embedded in the new SWF - and then score back to the shell application as
well...

Is this even possible??

.NET is NOT an option...

[Flashcoders] printing in higher resolution than 72dpi with printAsBitmap

[Tom Versweyveld]

Is it at all possible to print a movieclip (wich has alpha and mask effects,
so printAsBitmap is needed), on a higher resolution than 72dpi. 

By this I mean, when the movieclip contains a  1000x1000px jpg, which is
scaled to 100x100px, how can the jpg be printed to its "full potential" of
1000x1000px, and not be printed as 100x100px "mosaic".

 

Anybody got any experience with this.?

 

Grtz,

tom

Re: [Flashcoders] HTTP Statuscode 206 Partial content

[Ron Wheeler]

Given that you have 1 server, one communication line and http server 
knows all of this, there is not much point in trying to get 100 things 
happening at once. The http server may be the source of your problem 
since it may have some settings to limit the number of simultaneous 
requests from broken or malicious clients to prevent DOS attacks.
The Flash player's http layer may also be unhappy with so many 
simultaneous connections.


With today's technology, the communication link should be the bottleneck 
and trying to ram more bits down the internet link by having lots of 
contention will not get you very much.


Read them one at a time.

HTTP 206 Partial Content and LoadMovie

This is a nasty bug, and a little arcane, but  I'd greatly appreciate 
any

help.

I have a flash application (created in Flash MX 2004, Actionscript 2.0,
saved as flash 6) which is loading a number of swfs (100 or so).  The 
SWFs

make up some character animations, and we kick many of them off
simultaneously. We then have a loader that flips through them 
checking if

they are loaded, and once they are all loaded, starts the application.

99.9% of the time it works fine, but every so often it hangs on the load
screen and never leaves.

I've only been able to confirm this happening in firefox, but one of our
testers claims it happened in IE as well.

I finally got some hard evidence was going on by looking at the headers
(courtesy of the cool livehttpheaders firefox extension).

An example is pasted in below (scroll to bottom), here's the order of
events:
-Flash app loads objects.swfs a couple times
-First GET request is met with a happy HTTP/1.x 200 OK
-Second GET request is met with not so happy HTTP/1.x 206 Partial 
Content


And that's it, stuff pretty much just stops after that, movie never 
finishes

loading, so presumably objects.swf is never really complete.

My theory is flash is part of the way through getting the first 
objects.swf
when it requests the second one, which results in turn in a PARTIAL 
CONTENT

request, which for some reason isn't working as advertised in this
situation.

QUESTIONS:
1. Is my theory right? If not, any other ideas?

2. I can think of two possible "fixes":
-Switch to flash 7, use the MovieLoaderClass and use the onLoadError to
trigger an attempted reload of the swfs.  This would suck because the 
app is

working fine in flash 6 now otherwise.
-Tack "?foo=" + Math.random() on the end of every swf load, so we get no
caching. Downside is we get no caching, and we are loading a lot of swfs
repeatedly.
Anyone got any other bright ideas?

I'd GREATLY appreciate any help or advice!

_peter

206 Partial Content should mean either the file can not be completely
downloaded because it is still being uploaded or the web server or file
system is being overloaded and does not have the resources to access the
entire file. Hows the server load? What do the web server error logs 
say?

Are you using a PHP script to serve the file (I noticed the PHPSESSID)?
If so is it getting overloaded or not handling file locks properly?

I know this all sounds like stuff that should effect all browsers but
sometimes it's just timing and also how different browsers handle
different situations and errors.

ImpTech - Web Design & Hosting







I have found the same problem getting HTTP statuscode 206 Partial 
Content

and the flash / movie is stopping before end.

My datacenter could not help me. Is there any answer to the above 
mentioned

issues.



Thanks in advance

RE: [Flashcoders] Creating a SWF to dynamically create SWF';s

[Harald Kobler]

Hi Don,

We have a product called Snapp MX that you can use to create Flash screens
that are stored as XML.  A Flash Runtime reads this XML and displays the
fully formatted screen to the end user.  No Actionscript coding is required.

Snapp MX is completely written in Flash on the presentation tier (including
the development environment).  To make life easy it also has a built-in Web
Service code generator that will create fully documented Java, C#, VB.NET or
ColdFusion code (PHP will be supported shortly).  The best part is that
there is a freeware version called Snapp MX Express.

I hope this helps.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Creating a SWF to dynamically create SWF';s

Hi All,

My client has asked me to create a SWF that reads in some XML and generates
a course depending on the amount of questions images etc. in the XML.
They found out today that the XML with all the images comes to about 6MB -
so suddenly frightened by the implications of this, they've asked me if I
can develop a SWF, that when run, will generate the same content, but then
save the resultant SWF to a file, with all images, sound and questions
embedded in the new SWF - and then score back to the shell application as
well...

Is this even possible??

.NET is NOT an option...

Thanks...

Don

[Merrill, Jason]

Keep all images external and just reference them in the XML.  Then your
.swf is 50k or less, not 6MB.

Re: [Flashcoders] [JOB] Flash developer, Cambridge, UK

[Zárate]

Ummm... I think we're open to all options but my feeling is that
on-site freelancers would be better. Anyway, if you feel you match the
requirements, please send your application, I'm sure we will look to
all of them :)

Thanks!

[Flashcoders] [JOB] Flash developer, Cambridge, UK

[Zárate]

Hi guys,

The company I work for is looking to hire Flash developers as we have
a huge amount of work. We're based in Cambridge, UK and do
predominately e-learning applications. You can check out our website
http://www.tribalctad.co.uk for more info.

Main role: Flash developer. The level of your role will depend on
which of the following skills you can match (both freelance and
permanent roles are possible, though if you want to get the most out
of us you will need to be permanent).

You will need…

To be really fluent in AS2 + OOP.
Experience in *code* animation and rich interfaces,
Basic knowledge of most common OOP patterns (MVC, Factory, Singleton).

Ideally you should have experience with (or at least be willing to
learn) MTASC, SWFMill, Red5 or any other OS tool for Flash as we use
them in a daily basis.

Knowledge of any of the following technologies would be appreciated:

- *SCORM and related e-learning stuff *
- PHP
- JavaScript
- ZigoEngine and/or Fuse
- Versioning control (mostly SVN)
- CSS + HTML + standards
- C / Delphi / Java
- Mambo / Moodle

Any samples of your work would really help in the selection process. Including:

- Code samples. Don't need to compile, of course.
- del.icio.us / ma.gnolia / diigo or wherever you keep your bookmarks.
- Blogs and/or forums you participate in
- Links to any projects you're involved in

If you you're interested, please send an email to Juan Delgado
(juan.delgado [*] tribalctad.co.uk) with "CV" and your name in the
subject.

Thanks a lot

Re: [Flashcoders] Projector Wrapper

Steven. You're posting your self-made comparison proclaiming mProjector
as the uber-wrapper. I don't see any moral problem at pointing you at a
new - completely rewritten from scratch - version of ScreenWeaver so
that you can compare it as well.

Now I could come with my own comparison or "selling points", but I guess
that would not be seen as something fair, so it's better to give links
to people so they can start making their own opinion. Depending on the
features needed by the end-user, there might not be one single
"kill-them-all" choice.

If you want to be impartial and be able to efficiently advise people
about projector wrappers, you should stop throwing random facts without
evaluating first other technologies. I'm in general quite reluctant to
listen to people calling "crap!" before they even had a look at a given
solution.

Finally, I've been working with Edwin on SWHX and while I can't say
about previous Screenweaver, I can ensure you about the code quality of
SWHX. And you know what ? You can check it by yourself by browsing
https://svn.motion-twin.com/haxeDesktop/swhx.
If you find any bug, please report it to us ;)

Nicolas
