Re: [Flashcoders] Logging Flash-Internal User Access?

[Jason Horwitz]

Go the easiest (and coincidentally the best) route with Google  
Analytics ... hint: ExternalInterface calls to UrchinTracker('/site/ 
section') will cure what ails ya and wow the client (especially if  
you set up usage funnels and the other goodies urchin offers).


Hope this helps,

Hi,

My Client asked for a feature with that they can check how many users
accessed which sections in their Flash Movie so they can see how  
popular the
sections are. Their Flash is divided into 5 sub pages, all inside  
the same

SWF. I'm sure this is possible by utilizing PHP or similar server-side
language, I just haven't done such a thing yet and I'm on a tight  
deadline

with this job.
Could somebody lead me to any source on the web that does this task? A
PHP-Flash Example would be best!

Thanks a lot,
Sascha

[Flashcoders] Project documentation... what workflow and file formats?

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Ok, this may be a silly question, but I would really like to know your
opinions on how you handle project documentation workflow.

* What artifacts/tools and or file formats do you use to document your
project?

- I've got a personal journal where I keep several random thoughts on a
day-to-day basis. Ok, this is not intrinsically related to the project, but
random project annotations eventually go there.

- I've got a Enterprise Architect 6 Desktop Edition. I know enough of UML to
draw class, sequence and state diagrams. However, this tool has more
features than I need, and I feel this overwhelms-me... but I'm trying to
figure out the best way I could use it to document my application.

- I also use MindManager. MindMaps have been kind of useful to me some time
ago to visualize complex infomation, so, I thought I could use it to somehow
document aspects of the project or organize the documentation... it's not
clear yet...

- Also, I have a simple GTD system implemented on papers and physical
containers. This helps me keeping track of next actions and other projects I
have. Part of this sytem is implemented on my personal journal (the
in-basket, and random-thoughts that are later processed into projects and
actions).

My project and all the files related (including the documentation) is stored
on a SVN repository. I've created a bath script which copies a rar file
backup of the SVN rep.

The fact that I'm using SVN made me think of using plain text files for
documentation format.. however, I'm not sure here too.. :/

Any thoughts would be really apreaciated!

Marcelo.

RE: [Flashcoders] Logging Flash-Internal User Access?

[Sascha]

Thanks a lot Steven, I will try your method! Thanks to all the others who
responded, I haven't thought about such easy approaches. I will see if this
method is ok with my client.

Re: [Flashcoders] help with flash remoting please

[Muzak]

Flash uses "\r" for new lines (if I'm not mistaken).
Your mail probably expects "\r\n" or "\n"

In .NET, do a search for "\r" and replace with "\r\n" and see if that fixes it.

regards,
Muzak

Re: [Flashcoders] C++ flash host supporting transparency

[Tony Trapp]

I have created my own browser using .net and C# and with the browser
recognizing things via flash of course you have to have the flash active x
object installed and the object should do the rest with your flash movie.

As far as colors maybe this might have something to do with system colors
available depending on what you want to do.

If I had a complete look at your app so far and got what you are trying to
do fully I might really be able to help, how ever I have found talking
things out from time to time help you to see something or think of
something.

Hope that kinnda helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] help with flash remoting please

Hey guys need help on something here.

My flash form is working great and so is my asp.net script via flash
remoting.

What I am having a problem with is to format the message field as such like
this email rather then being one continuous paragraph with no new lines:

here is an example I sent myself:

cvbc vvcbvcb vcbvc bvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbcvcbvcbvc
bEnd--

it should be:

cvbc
vvcbvcb vcbvc

bvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbvcbcvcbvcbvc

b

End--

Any one have an idea of what to do?

I am using flash 6 and flash remoting with asp.net

Thanks guys !

Why reinvent the wheel?

Did you have a look at SWHX yet? It works for Windows and OSX, Linux
support AFAIK would need FP9, maybe more. I'm not sure about
transparency, but since Screenweaver could do it, it's probably there.



I don't want to stop you from rolling your own, if that's what you

Does anyone know how you would implement this within a custom host/container
like mine?  How do the browsers implement this (well the ones that support

I've seen a few articles here and there that Flash sends its output to an
off-screen buffer that the browsers use to render Flash content with
non-rectangular transparency.  But, I'm not sure how as a host container the
Flash frame buffers and transparency key color are accessible to me.

Does the stage color become the RGB key color value that Flash communicates
to the browser to assist with this process?  What if that same color is used
in the content of your movie/content within your SWF?  Do the browsers
render those pixels transparently as well?

Anyway, I'm going to start some tests but thought maybe someone could shed
some light for me.  Also, does anyone have experience building their own SWF

am not interested in using the commercial swf/exe hosts out there, at least
not yet ;]) to the Mac, so whatever transparency technique I use on Win32
would hopefully not require a full-rewrite on the Mac (yeah right).

Is there an SDK for people wanting to build their own hosts for Flash apps?
Is there a lower-level interface/API I can tap into that exposes the Flash
content/internals so that developers can write their own unique hosts?  What
wrapper/API is exposed to the Mac platform developers for creating
containers on OSX?

Thanks for ANY input :)  I'll start fiddling with WMODE and see what happens
for starters...  Where is the definitive internals book on the Flash runtime
engine?  Does one exist?

Re: [Flashcoders] brain teaser: filter tweening code has a problem, can you spot it?

[Muzak]

How about making a self contained clip:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class GlowClip extends MovieClip {
 private var glowTween:Tween;
 private var glowVal:Number = 5;
 //
 function GlowClip() {
  var gf = new GlowFilter(0x356D83, 100, 5, 5, 5, 3, false, false);
  this.filters = [gf];
  this.glowTween = new Tween(this, "value", Elastic.easeOut, glowVal, glowVal, 
1, true);
  this.glowTween.onMotionChanged = Delegate.create(this, this.tweenChanged);
  this.glowTween.stop();
 }
 //
 function onRollOver() {
  this.glowTween.continueTo(30, 2);
 }
 //
 function onRollOut() {
  this.glowTween.continueTo(5, 2);
 }
 //
 private function tweenChanged(tw, newVal) {
  var gf = new GlowFilter(0x356D83, 100, newVal, newVal, 5, 3, false, false);
  this.filters = [gf];
 }
}

Attach the class to a movieclip in the library and you can have as many 
instances on stage as you like.

Muzak

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash transparent on top of Windows Media Player

[Muzak]

Then maybe get in contact with adobe?
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Posting it here and hoping someone from adobe actually reads it *and* passes it 
on to the right people is not gonna get you 
anywhere.
This list is not meant for whining/discussing/whatever_you_have.

http://osflash.org/flashcoders/etiquette

Keep it coding
There are plenty of other places to talk about general Flash topics, and even 
more places to talk about non-Flash topics.


Lately every other question seems to turn into some whine-feast/discussion that 
has nothing to do with the original topic.
I really hope this list can get back to what it's meant for.. coding..

regards,
Muzak

ps: if you wanna whine about me whining, contact me offlist ;-)

RE: [Flashcoders] brain teaser: filter tweening code has a problem, can you spot it?

Steven, 
 
There *is* a purpose. 
 
Here is a slightly different version: 
 
 
import mx.transitions.Tween; 
import mx.transitions.easing.*; 
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;  
 
var gf:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x356D83, 100, 5, 5, 5, 3, false, false);

for (var i = 0; i < 5; ++i) 
{ 
var mc:MovieClip = this["kText" + i]; 
mc.filters = [gf]; 
 
mc.gfBX = new Tween(gf, "blurX", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true); 
mc.gfBY = new Tween(gf, "blurY", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true); 
 
mc.onRollOver = function() { 
var _mc:MovieClip = this; 
this.gfBX.continueTo(30, 2); 
this.gfBX.onMotionChanged = function() {  
trace(this);// outputs [Tween] 
_mc.filters = [gf]; 
}; 
 
this.gfBY.continueTo(30, 2); 
this.gfBY.onMotionChanged = function() { 
trace(this);// outputs [Tween] 
_mc.filters = [gf]; 
}; 
}; 
 
mc.onRollOut = function() { 
var _mc:MovieClip = this; 
this.gfBX.continueTo(5, 2); 
this.gfBX.onMotionChanged = function() { 
trace(this);// outputs [Tween] 
_mc.filters = [gf]; 
}; 
 
this.gfBY.continueTo(5, 2); 
this.gfBY.onMotionChanged = function() { 
trace(this);// outputs [Tween] 
_mc.filters = [gf]; 
}; 
}; 
}
 
Does that clear things up?

Why are you creating a reference to this inside the onRollOver method?

mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.gfBX.continueTo(30, 2);
};

There's no purpose behind a temporary reference variable to this.

[Flashcoders] Altering registration points, or centering movies

[Josh Johnston]

Is there anyway to dynamically reposition the
registration point of a movieclip? I'm loading the
mc's with attachMovie, and trying to reposition those
movies to the center of the stage, but I can't
guarantee that the registration points are in a fixed
location. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash transparent on top of Windows Media Player

[Mick G]

if the answers is: "hey dude, this is not
going to work properly, ever", then please just completely remove
wmode. It is getting people mad.


It's not broken - people use it, look at the advertising industry using it
on millions of pages/sites every day with their wonderful over the page
transparent advertising...

If you don't like it and it's not meeting your project's requirements of
being consistent/stable enough then don't use it.

...and I don't think anyone could answer the "ever" remark.

Now, if only there were a way to close a thread ;) My original subject seems
to have steered a little off course.

RE: [Flashcoders] brain teaser: filter tweening code has a problem, can you spot it?

[Steven Sacks | BLITZ]

Why are you creating a reference to this inside the onRollOver method?

mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.gfBX.continueTo(30, 2);
};

There's no purpose behind a temporary reference variable to this.

RE: [Flashcoders] brain teaser: filter tweening code has a problem, can you spot it?

[Keith Reinfeld]

 This works, 
  
  
import mx.transitions.Tween; 
import mx.transitions.easing.*; 
import flash.filters.GlowFilter; 
 
var gf:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x356D83, 100, 5, 5, 5, 3, false, false);

for (var i = 0; i < 5; ++i) 
{ 
var mc:MovieClip = this["kText" + i]; 
mc.filters = [gf]; 
 
mc.gfBX = new Tween(gf, "blurX", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true); 
mc.gfBY = new Tween(gf, "blurY", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true); 
 
mc.onRollOver = function() { 
var _mc:MovieClip = this; 
_mc.gfBX.continueTo(30, 2); 
_mc.gfBX.onMotionChanged = function() { 
_mc.filters = [gf]; 
}; 

_mc.gfBY.continueTo(30, 2); 
_mc.gfBY.onMotionChanged = function() { 
_mc.filters = [gf]; 
}; 
}; 
 
mc.onRollOut = function() { 
var _mc:MovieClip = this; 
_mc.gfBX.continueTo(5, 2); 
_mc.gfBX.onMotionChanged = function() { 
_mc.filters = [gf]; 
}; 
 
_mc.gfBY.continueTo(5, 2); 
_mc.gfBY.onMotionChanged = function() { 
_mc.filters = [gf]; 
}; 
}; 
 
}

Hi all,

I downloaded a piece of filter tweening code, modified it (added loop around
it) to tween mutiple clips on stage with the name (kText0, kText1, etc.) and
for some reason it only tweens the last clip.

After some debugging I found out where the problem lies.  But when I
compiled the code in my head, everything seemed fine (probably have a buggy
brain).  Can you spot what the problem is from the code below?  How would
you fix it?

import mx.transitions.Tween;

import flash.filters.GlowFilter;

for (var i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
{
var mc = this["kText" + i];
var gf:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x356D83, 100, 5, 5, 5, 3, false,
false);
var gfBX:Tween = new Tween(gf, "blurX", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true);
var gfBY:Tween = new Tween(gf, "blurY", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true);
mc.onRollOver = function() {

gfBY.continueTo(30, 2);

mc.onRollOut = function() {

[Merrill, Jason]

Not everyone has to develop cross-platform websites becauase they have
specific target audiences that only use certain browsers and can thus
make good use of wmode.  I think what's needed is better
documentation/disclaimers rather than throwing it out completely.

Steven,


I hate web development.  That's why I do Flash development.


Although highly subjective, I can't agree with you enough. The points you
make capture my exact reasoning!  However, I would argue that Flash has a
great share of its own problems, but at least you're only dealing with one
compiler / VM!

Don't use wmode.  It's that simple.  You can complain about it until
you're blue in the face and it won't do any good.  The fact is that
wmode is inconsistent across browsers and platforms, and I doubt it's
ever going to be fixed so you need to alter your approach.

You want to see frustration?  Hang out with some senior level web
developers for awhile.  I don't understand how they stay sane with all
the hacking they have to do.  Web Developers are forced to contend with
a broken compiler that is used by 90% of the public (Internet Explorer)
which tries to fix their code for them at runtime (making debugging
difficult), and have to code against three or more different compilers
(Firefox, Safari, Opera) that all compile their code differently from
one another.

CSS, a widely used technology, is, in some ways, borderline broken in
IE6 and only after about five years is Microsoft doing anything about it
with IE7.  Best of luck in your endeavor to get Adobe to fix an edge

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash transparent on top of Windows Media Player

[Zárate]

Hi again,

I'm just trying to get an answer from Adobe about the problem, nothing
more, nothing less. And if the answers is: "hey dude, this is not
going to work properly, ever", then please just completely remove
wmode. It is getting people mad.

Then, I don't care (well, I care, but that's not the point now) about
the problems of developing cross-platform standars-compliant HTML
websites. What it is worth here is improving/fixing the Flash player.

Cheers,

Juan

Re: [Flashcoders] brain teaser: filter tweening code has a problem, can you spot it?

[Boon Chew]

Actually the function will remember what the temp variable points to even after 
everything goes out of scope through the so-called closure.  So change is scope 
is not necessary for this teaser's fix.

You've got a scope issue.  The movieclip has no idea what gfBX or gfBY
is on rollover because they are just temporary variables in your
iterator and once your iterator is done they're gone and the movieclip
has no reference to them.  You need to assign gfBX and gfBY to the
movieclip so it knows what they are.

mc.gfBX = gfBX;

mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.gfBX.continueTo(30, 2);
};

Follow?

RE: [Flashcoders] IE doesn't seem to want to recognize FlashVars

[Alain Rousseau]

 It seems to work when I pass the Flashvars directly to the swf :

But not through the html page. 

I believe that your problem is in the Javascript. You should try and debug
that first do some alerts in your scripts to check your variables, etc ...

Subject: [Flashcoders] C++ flash host supporting transparency

Hey, I'm building a C++ app to run on Windows (then maybe on Mac and X) that
will host SWFs.  On Windows I'm using the Flash activeX control to host my
Flash app.  I'd like to render the Flash viewport/window onto my
application's surface with transparency such that only the content on the
stage is drawn to my window.  

Does anyone know how you would implement this within a custom host/container
like mine?  How do the browsers implement this (well the ones that support
it)?  Does Flash tell the host the key color being used for transparency?
I've seen a few articles here and there that Flash sends its output to an
off-screen buffer that the browsers use to render Flash content with
non-rectangular transparency.  But, I'm not sure how as a host container the
Flash frame buffers and transparency key color are accessible to me.

Does the stage color become the RGB key color value that Flash communicates
to the browser to assist with this process?  What if that same color is used
in the content of your movie/content within your SWF?  Do the browsers
render those pixels transparently as well?  

Anyway, I'm going to start some tests but thought maybe someone could shed
some light for me.  Also, does anyone have experience building their own SWF
host application that runs on Windows and Mac?  I need to port my app (and
am not interested in using the commercial swf/exe hosts out there, at least
not yet ;]) to the Mac, so whatever transparency technique I use on Win32
would hopefully not require a full-rewrite on the Mac (yeah right).

Is there an SDK for people wanting to build their own hosts for Flash apps?
Is there a lower-level interface/API I can tap into that exposes the Flash
content/internals so that developers can write their own unique hosts?  What
wrapper/API is exposed to the Mac platform developers for creating
containers on OSX?

Thanks for ANY input :)  I'll start fiddling with WMODE and see what happens
for starters...  Where is the definitive internals book on the Flash runtime
engine?  Does one exist?

Re: [Flashcoders] IE doesn't seem to want to recognize FlashVars

[Christopher Whiteford]

I got it working by using flashvars as well as passing it in the swf file
string. Unfortunately I didn't write the piece so it took some time to
decifer. It seems that how IE processes the flash allows for a difference in
the timing. So maybe that will help you track down yours.

Testing changes was definitely an excercise in ensuring the cache was clear.


Thanks and good luck with yours

The only thing I can suggest is to try to find another job.  Working at
a technology company where the people in charge are ignorant when it
comes to technology is a recipe for an unhappy life.  It sounds like you
don't have a project manager there who has any familiarity with web
development (or any project manager at all?).

Flash is, for all intensive purposes, on all of your end users'
machines.  Flash has become the only choice for streaming video delivery
on the web.  These aren't the days of Flash intros anymore.  If your
bosses don't trust Flash, I wouldn't trust them to provide an
environment that will enrich your career.  They're on the wrong side of
the bell curve and you owe it to yourself as a professional to get
yourself back on the other side.

There are tons of great jobs out there right now for talented Flash
developers.  Don't settle for working for someone who doesn't trust the
technology you are investing your time and energy into.

[Flashcoders] brain teaser: filter tweening code has a problem, can you spot it?

[Boon Chew]

Hi all,

I downloaded a piece of filter tweening code, modified it (added loop around 
it) to tween mutiple clips on stage with the name (kText0, kText1, etc.) and 
for some reason it only tweens the last clip.

After some debugging I found out where the problem lies.  But when I compiled 
the code in my head, everything seemed fine (probably have a buggy brain).  Can 
you spot what the problem is from the code below?  How would you fix it?

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;

for (var i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
{
var mc = this["kText" + i];
var gf:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x356D83, 100, 5, 5, 5, 3, false, false);
var gfBX:Tween = new Tween(gf, "blurX", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true);
var gfBY:Tween = new Tween(gf, "blurY", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true);
mc.onRollOver = function() {
gfBX.continueTo(30, 2);
gfBY.continueTo(30, 2);
};
mc.onRollOut = function() {
gfBX.continueTo(5, 2);
gfBY.continueTo(5, 2);
};

gfBX.onMotionChanged = function() {
mc.filters = [gf];
};
}

It's actually pretty straightforward and easy.  Here's a quick way to
track page impressions with no back-end code whatsoever.

Create empty (0 bytes) .txt (or .html) files and put them in a folder on
the server.  Have Flash loadVars the txt files and append a noCache
argument with the date in milliseconds so it doesn't cache.  So, your
file URL would look something like this:

tUrl = "tracking/page1.txt?noCache=" + new Date().getTime();

Just loadVars a file every time they load in a different page.  They'll
be able to check their weblogs to see traffic.  If they want something
more like session data and such, then you'll have to write a back-end to
support it.

The only thing I can suggest is to try to find another job.  Working at
a technology company where the people in charge are ignorant when it
comes to technology is a recipe for an unhappy life.  It sounds like you
don't have a project manager there who has any familiarity with web
development (or any project manager at all?).

Flash is, for all intensive purposes, on all of your end users'
machines.  Flash has become the only choice for streaming video delivery
on the web.  These aren't the days of Flash intros anymore.  If your
bosses don't trust Flash, I wouldn't trust them to provide an
environment that will enrich your career.  They're on the wrong side of
the bell curve and you owe it to yourself as a professional to get
yourself back on the other side. 

There are tons of great jobs out there right now for talented Flash
developers.  Don't settle for working for someone who doesn't trust the
technology you are investing your time and energy into.

Re: [Flashcoders] simple gotoAndPlay

[Serge Jespers]

With the risk of starting a rant, Adobe should really fix shared  
libs... These seem to be totally useless in a real life  
environment... The idea is great but how do you explain that a simple  
graphic loaded with no actions whatsoever can cause my script to stop  
working...?


We started this project with a shared lib for our fonts and graphics  
and now that we come across this problem, will have to kick out the  
shared lib. We already kicked out the shared fonts 'cause those just  
didn't work at all. I should add that the designer in this project is  
on a PC and that I, the developer in this project, work on a Mac.


But really... This shouldn't matter... right?

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: zinc kills a variable with a new String()?

[Muzak]

that's because 'i' isn't local to the function but lives in the 'timeline' the 
function is defined in.
Define them inside the function using var.
It's also a good thing to do the same for the 'condition', because the length 
might change during the loop process, which may mess 
up the loop as well.

function mainStuff() {
 var i:Number = 0;
 var len:Number = theList.length;

RE: [Flashcoders] Center align a multiline textfield?

[Blumenthal, Peter]

It's becuase you have wordWrap set to true. Here's a quick and dirty example
- try setting back to true to see the difference.

this.createTextField('subhead', 20, 1, 435, 434, 200);
with (this.subhead) {
selectable = true;
wordWrap = false;
multiline = true;
autoSize = 'center';
border = true;
}
var sMyString:String = "This is my textfield string, la, la la, la la, and
it is centred, la, la la, la la";
var nCharNum:Number = 0;
function fMakeString(mcScope_psd, fltText_psd) {
trace(mcScope_psd);
mcScope_psd[fltText_psd].text +=
mcScope_psd.sMyString.charAt(mcScope_psd.nCharNum++);
if (mcScope_psd.nCharNum == mcScope_psd.sMyString.length) {
clearInterval(mcScope_psd.iMakeText);
}
}
iMakeText = setInterval(fMakeString, 50, this, "subhead");

Did you try adding an explicit variable declaration (e.g.

lacking the variable is being created in a global scope.

I've posted this before, but it may help you:

http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=659163


As you can see in that post, if you do any scaling or rotation to a
cachedAsBitmap MovieClip, it temporarily becomes a vector again, just
to update itself.  That class can "force" a movieclip to stay as a
bitmap, even if you make it super big.  Of course, it'll get blurry if
it's too big.

Key is to taking a snapshot of what you want at the biggest size it'll
be, or updating the bitmap data when it's at it's biggest size.

[Flashcoders] Flash Accessibility Issues

[Chris Griffith]

We were requested to add Accessibility to a completed Flash piece at the
last minute and I¹m banging my head against a wall trying to figure out how
to do something that seems relatively simple.  I have roughly 60 thumbnails
of images that have buttons associated with them.  The buttons bring up a
large version of the image with a caption underneath.  The client would like
the caption to be read on rollover so someone with a screenreader can mouse
over or tab between them.
I used the accessibility panel to associate each button with it¹s caption,
but that doesn¹t seem to work.  What am I missing?

Only one thing left to do then :-D ... : set everything you have on frame 75

But indeed it could be corruption.. have had several cases in the past where

To see if something in the movie is corrupted, try turning content 
layers into guides, either all at once or one at a time, and you may 
be able to narrow down where the problem is. You can also try pasting 
all frames into a new movie.


Sorry I didn't follow the beginning of this thread, and the message

[Flashcoders] C++ flash host supporting transparency

[Chris Douglass]

Hey, I'm building a C++ app to run on Windows (then maybe on Mac and X) that
will host SWFs.  On Windows I'm using the Flash activeX control to host my
Flash app.  I'd like to render the Flash viewport/window onto my
application's surface with transparency such that only the content on the
stage is drawn to my window.  

Does anyone know how you would implement this within a custom host/container
like mine?  How do the browsers implement this (well the ones that support
it)?  Does Flash tell the host the key color being used for transparency?
I've seen a few articles here and there that Flash sends its output to an
off-screen buffer that the browsers use to render Flash content with
non-rectangular transparency.  But, I'm not sure how as a host container the
Flash frame buffers and transparency key color are accessible to me.

Does the stage color become the RGB key color value that Flash communicates
to the browser to assist with this process?  What if that same color is used
in the content of your movie/content within your SWF?  Do the browsers
render those pixels transparently as well?  

Anyway, I'm going to start some tests but thought maybe someone could shed
some light for me.  Also, does anyone have experience building their own SWF
host application that runs on Windows and Mac?  I need to port my app (and
am not interested in using the commercial swf/exe hosts out there, at least
not yet ;]) to the Mac, so whatever transparency technique I use on Win32
would hopefully not require a full-rewrite on the Mac (yeah right).

Is there an SDK for people wanting to build their own hosts for Flash apps?
Is there a lower-level interface/API I can tap into that exposes the Flash
content/internals so that developers can write their own unique hosts?  What
wrapper/API is exposed to the Mac platform developers for creating
containers on OSX?

Thanks for ANY input :)  I'll start fiddling with WMODE and see what happens
for starters...  Where is the definitive internals book on the Flash runtime
engine?  Does one exist?

[Flashcoders] Center align a multiline textfield?

RE: [Flashcoders] simple gotoAndPlay :: Am I losing my mind?

[Merrill, Jason]

I've had the same thing - it seems .fla files can get corrupted.  Try
doing a "Save As" (which re-writes your .fla) and also clearing your ASO
cache.  If that doesn't work, go with Toby's approach of copy and paste
into a fresh .fla.  I've had to do that on rare occasions.  The only
explaination I could think of was .fla corruption.

Re: [Flashcoders] simple gotoAndPlay

That almost got my hopes up... but sadly... no...
The only MC with a linkage ID gets loaded in the first frame...



Just a long shot then.. :-D
Might it be that you have a mc using lickage with the "load on  
first frame" option off.. but forgot to preload it differently?

Re: [Flashcoders] simple gotoAndPlay

[Serge Jespers]

I've just seen that a file with similar functionality is 62k instead  
of the 24k of the troubled file...
So I'm going to officially call this a messed up file... Even tho I  
already tried renaming it, "save-and-compacting" it and oh yeah...  
all frames I call do have frame labels.


I've even tried copying everything after frame 75 to another scene  
(even tho I don't like to use them) but even then, I can not seem to  
get beyond that frame 34... So weird...

Re: [Flashcoders] Logging Flash-Internal User Access?

[Robert r. Sanders]

I can't lend you any source, but my tip would be to setup a 'dummy' page 
or pages and then add

   getURL("dummy_page.php?section=5")
or
   getURL("dummy_page5.html")

into your flash, then the client's web server logs will show the 
requests and they can do whatever they want using standard log mining tools.

[Flashcoders] IO Error

A swf file that allows users to upload files to my web server fails for

Are you using MoveClipLoader within IE? If so it's listeners behave

Re: [Flashcoders] Logging Flash-Internal User Access?

[Muzak]

I'm working on a Flash Statistics system using 
Flex/ColdFusion/Webservices/MySQL but hard to say when it will be ready.
It's still in an early stage.

Part of the project will probably be open source.
With 'part of the project' I mean 'everything but the Flex stuff', which is 
mainly used for administrating and viewing statistics.

If anyone is interested in this, let me know.

Re: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice

[Ramon Miguel M. Tayag]

I've posted this before, but it may help you:

http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=659163


As you can see in that post, if you do any scaling or rotation to a
cachedAsBitmap MovieClip, it temporarily becomes a vector again, just
to update itself.  That class can "force" a movieclip to stay as a
bitmap, even if you make it super big.  Of course, it'll get blurry if
it's too big.

Key is to taking a snapshot of what you want at the biggest size it'll
be, or updating the bitmap data when it's at it's biggest size.

On 10/11/06, Jason Ross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hi - thank you to both Ian and Ramon.

And yes, the pictures are scrolling, but they are contained in
movieclips that contain vector data (i.e. to artwork around the photos).
See what I mean? Though I take your point as through my experimentation
I get the same results whether CacheAsBitmap is turned on or not.

Great idea to unload / reload as they come on / off the screen! Will do
that one right away.

Thank again.

If you're scrolling pictures, you don't really need to cache as
bitmap.  It would be best to use it when there's a lot of vector data
that bogs the system down when animating.

One thing you could do to optimize things is whent he pictures go
offscreen, unload them.

Re: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice

Incidentally, Jason, your site only takes up the first 1/4 or so of
the browser window in Firefox.

I think you probably need to set a CSS body height:100% or something
somewhere in the HTML.

With BitmapData, you can build a BitmapData of your picture, for exemple

1000x600 witch will stay in memory, and will not be displayed. After
that, 
you create another BitmapData witch is only 500x300 for exemple, the
size 
you need for display. Then you draw the first BitmapData in the second
with 
the draw() method, according to a geom.matrix witch describe the
translation 
you need for scroll, and also the zoom. Doing this, your scroll and zoom

will be faster.

Remember that the cacheAsBitmap property is true by default. May be
there 
isn't difference in you're test because you didn't try to define 
cacheAsBitmap as false (and only compare default and true, witch is the
same 
thing).

I went to your site. It seem's that when we zoom in a picture, this
picture 
is first reduced like 20% and when you zoom, you increase to 100% with a

mask. Am'I wrong? In this case, and also for the scroll, you will not
realy 
increase the speed with cacheAsBitmap. But I think you can do much
better 
using BitmapData, scroll(), draw() and flash.geom.matrix in the draw() 
method.

always sorry for my english

Hi - thank you to both Ian and Ramon.

And yes, the pictures are scrolling, but they are contained in
movieclips that contain vector data (i.e. to artwork around the photos).
See what I mean? Though I take your point as through my experimentation
I get the same results whether CacheAsBitmap is turned on or not.

Great idea to unload / reload as they come on / off the screen! Will do
that one right away.

Thank again.

If you're scrolling pictures, you don't really need to cache as
bitmap.  It would be best to use it when there's a lot of vector data
that bogs the system down when animating.

One thing you could do to optimize things is whent he pictures go
offscreen, unload them.

The set variable value can be used immeditaly in the initializing process, so 
will be drawn faster.
So the component will be drawn with the 'new value', rather than with a 
'default value' and then redrawn with the 'new value'.
Might not be a biggy if the variable doesn't have a huge inpact on the 
component, but if that particular variable value affects the
layout (so the whole component needs to be redrawn) it does.


What's more - if you were using a straight OOP class for your
MovieClips (like AS3 does), you could have a constructor that took
parameters e.g.
var button:Button=new Button('label');

But you can't do that in AS2 because of the way MovieClips/Components
are created (attachMovie instead of new()) so you need some way of
passing initialisation variables. The method Macrodobe came up with is
to pass the initialisation variables as an object argument to
attachMovie(). It's a workaround because of the need to rely on
attachMovie(). And happily, it's gone in AS3.

I have to guess here really.. attachMovie is a MovieClip method, which is a 
dynamic class.


I'd imagine it's because the assignment of the variables actually
happens at runtime, and because AS2 compiles down to the same bytecode
as AS1, the runtime engine doesn't actually _know_ whether properties
are public or private (in AS2 as opposed to AS3, public and private
are only meaningful at _compile_ time).

So it just looks through the initialisation object (as if you were
doing a for... in... ), and sets variables on the new clip - it
doesn't know anything about access permissions.

Re: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice

[David Buff]

With BitmapData, you can build a BitmapData of your picture, for exemple 
1000x600 witch will stay in memory, and will not be displayed. After that, 
you create another BitmapData witch is only 500x300 for exemple, the size 
you need for display. Then you draw the first BitmapData in the second with 
the draw() method, according to a geom.matrix witch describe the translation 
you need for scroll, and also the zoom. Doing this, your scroll and zoom 
will be faster.


Remember that the cacheAsBitmap property is true by default. May be there 
isn't difference in you're test because you didn't try to define 
cacheAsBitmap as false (and only compare default and true, witch is the same 
thing).


I went to your site. It seem's that when we zoom in a picture, this picture 
is first reduced like 20% and when you zoom, you increase to 100% with a 
mask. Am'I wrong? In this case, and also for the scroll, you will not realy 
increase the speed with cacheAsBitmap. But I think you can do much better 
using BitmapData, scroll(), draw() and flash.geom.matrix in the draw() 
method.


always sorry for my english

I have an interactive demo that consists of one main SWF file that loads in

Within this main SWF and within all the seperate SWFs are numerous movies each

In numerous place on timelines throughout this set of SWFs, sound effects have

So is there any way to turn off sound globally regardless of where it's located

Re: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice

[Ian Thomas]

Hi Jason,
 I'd pretty much echo Ramon - doesn't sound like a good case for
cacheAsBitmap. To give a slightly more concrete cacheAsBitmap
example...

We have a Flash-driven flip book that can (potentially) show any Flash
movie on any page. Flipping the pages is a quite animation-intensive
process. If the Flash movie contained in the page is lots of vectors
(even if it's a still image), the page-flipping process crawls. If,
however, we turn on cacheAsBitmap on the contained movie before doing
the page flip, Flash only has to update one bitmap for that movie
(rather than repeatedly redrawing all the vectors). Then we turn back
off cacheAsBitmap once the page flip is complete.

It's these sort of places that cacheAsBitmap makes a difference in.

In your case, if you were scrolling around Flash vector movies rather
than images, it'd make more sense. But from experimentation, scrolling
a bitmap image contained in a MovieClip is pretty much the same
whether cacheAsBitmap is turned on or turned off.

Hope that's helpful,
 Ian

[Flashcoders] Fuse Kit Sequence

[Jon Bennett]

Hi,

I'm trying to sequence some simple tweens using Fuse(), but for some
reason only the first item in the sequence plays, and I'm not sure
why.

// code on timeline (which contains 2 MCs mcOne and mcTwo
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
ZigoEngine.register(PennerEasing, Fuse);

this.mcOne._alpha = 0;
this.mcTwo._alpha = 0;

var fSequence:Fuse = new Fuse();
fSequence.pushTween
([this.mcOne,this.mcTwo],"_alpha",["100","100"],3,"easeOutQuad",0);
fSequence.pushTween
([this.mcOne,this.mcTwo],"_x",["400","300"],3,"easeOutQuad",0);
fSequence.start ();

Hopefully someone with more experience will be able to point me in the
right direction.

tia,
