Re: [Flashcoders] advice needed: textformatting or css?
Hello, I had similar problem (space below the text) in one project this year. I ended up with the following: 1) Edges of the text field itself are NOT used to show the space. You just use no borders, bg etc, so no one can say where are textfield edges :-) 2) To show padding and other space around text additional elements are used, mainly mc's. Say, the screen_mc (containing just one rectangle) is placed below the textfield. 3) When you update the textfield, measure it's size and resize the screen_mc accordingly. 4) I've used margin/padding settings as attributes in the XML where the text itself is stored (or transferred). The designers are quite happy so far :-). PS. As to textformat vs. css - it's a matter of taste, IMO. I like CSS and try to use them whenever possible. However, there's no affordable (e.g., quite easy) way to build a WYSIWYG editor for css-formatted text... Therefore, all depends on your task. -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

RE: [Flashcoders] advice needed: textformatting or css?
I went through the whole WSIWYG text editor in Flash programming thing in Flash 8 recently. I ended up figuring out that using the TextFormat class is the only really viable/sane way to go. It works pretty well, but some things like fighting with the Selection object were a royal pain. But it is do-able, I dun it.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash video multiple streams...
Thanks for this and the detail you go into. The third option is the most feasible for me at the moment. I have implemented something very similar based on this and it works great ... though I'm actually using netstream.close() once the first frame has loaded. I realised that it's the multiple open netstreams that cause the slow down :) Thank you.

If I think of doing this, I'd do it using the following ways: 1. if I have Flash Media Server (Streaming method) Use it with server side actionscript to server streaming video, with server side actionscript to play the first 10 seconds, and I'd catch with the progress listener on an unskinned FLV player that the movie has reached the first 1 second, thats when I'll pause the video, until I rollover it thats when I need to play it again 2.If I dont have flash media server Using a FLV slicing thumbnail creator, like FLVKnife, with a little server side script code to created the shorter videos on upload, and another tool to extract an image for a thumbnail, bearing in mind that usually on users videos, the first 10 seconds may include titles, or black screens (Mr. X presents), You know the users love to get cool with their home made videos, so a progressive load wont be of equal quality to this solution, Also this solution will help you with the 1 by 1 sequential loading technique, for you're to load only what you'd show (I recommend this one) 3. (Progressive loading) If I dont have flash media server and I hate to waste my time on server side scripting but I can bear performance issues, I'd have multiple unskinned instances of the FLVPlayback, and i'd catch using the progressive listener the first frame (frames per second/playHeadTime) and pause, and when rollover happens play (and create a new listener waiting for the 10th second to restart video again), and on Rollout restart and pause Hope if this doesnt help atleast would highlight some other possible solutions or act as thought provoking to the other list members Regards Yehia Shouman [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- On 10/25/06, Jason Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have a problem where multiple video streams, which are slowing a page down (download time) ... see here: http://www.fotoko.com/?str=1N%3D%2A%5C%3BKLP6R%3DT3%5BB%2E1R%0Dpy%1B The video does load ... eventually, and then works fine on subsequent visit due to caching ... my issue is with the loading times on the first visit.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash environment variables?
A different (and long-term) approach to your problem would be not to use the variable class path approach. Force your team to use a relative pathing instead of the variable. Then instead of having your 'classes' or other dependencies that your team relies on a shared drive on the network, use a source control system like Visual SourceSafe or Subversion/TortoiseSVN. It is a time-consuming task to get this setup but I think many here would testify that having a source control software managing shared project resources is an investment that will return many times. -mL http://knowledge.lapasa.net -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 3:22 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash environment variables?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash environment variables?
I'd use a combination of those (gloabl classpath/source control). Each user has a global classpath, which is on his/her local harddrive. Files (classes) in the global classpath (on local drive) are 'copies' of files on shared drive. Those are checked in/out using source control. The problem with using no global classpath is that Flash (IDE) will complain (throw an error) when you want to check syntax or auto format your code. You can get around that by setting up a classpath for each fla/project for that fla only (through the Publish Settings option), but if the fla needs to be shared among different users, that might be a problem as the path will probably be different for each user. With a global classpath, this is not an issue. As Mark said, using source control takes getting used to but pays off in the end. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Mark Lapasa [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 3:23 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash environment variables?

[Flashcoders] EventDispatcher and Delegate - where am I going wrong...
Hi,
I'm knocking up some simple tests to get EventDispatcher and Delegate
working, but I can't seem to get my rather simple example to work:
// MyButton.as
// EventDispatcher
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
// Delegate
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class MyButton
{
public var dispatchEvent:Function;
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
public var dispatchQueue:Function;
private var mcButton:MovieClip;
function MyButton (mcButton)
{
EventDispatcher.initialize (this);
this.mcButton = mcButton;
this.init ();
}
function init ()
{
this.mcButton.objRef = this;
this.mcButton.onRelease = function ()
{
Delegate.create(this.objRef, onClick)
}
// clearInterval(timeInt);
}
function onClick ()
{
dispatchEvent ({type:'click', target:this, message:'Hey dude the
button was clicked'});
}
};
// ButtonListener.as
// EventDispatcher
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
// Delegate
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class ButtonListener {
public var dispatchEvent:Function;
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
public var dispatchQueue:Function;
private var myButton:MyButton;
function ButtonListener ()
{
myButton = new MyButton(_root.mcButton);
myButton.addEventListener('click', Delegate.create(this,
onClick));
}
function onClick (eventObj)
{
trace(eventObj.target);
trace(eventObj.type);
trace(eventObj.message);
trace(eventObj.time);
}
};
// Timeline
import MyButton;
import ButtonListener;
var myButtonListener = new ButtonListener();
I'm sure it's something blindingly obvious, but how do I get my
ButtonListener class to hear the 'click' event ?
Thanks,
Jon

Re: [Flashcoders] EventDispatcher and Delegate - where am I going wrong...
Hi,
it seems you are mixing two approaches.
approach 1)
this.mcButton.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, this.onClick)
approach 2)
this.mcButton.objRef = this;
this.mcButton.onRelease = function ()
{
this.objRef.onClick();
}

RE: [Flashcoders] EventDispatcher and Delegate - where am I goingwrong...
Pressing your button causes the code to create the delegate function,
not execute it. You want the result of Delegate() to be stored as the
onRelease function. Do this:
this.mcButton.onRelease = Delegate.create(this.objRef,
onClick)

Subject: [Flashcoders] EventDispatcher and Delegate - where am I
goingwrong...
Hi,
I'm knocking up some simple tests to get EventDispatcher and Delegate
working, but I can't seem to get my rather simple example to work:
// MyButton.as
// EventDispatcher
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
// Delegate
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class MyButton
{
public var dispatchEvent:Function;
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
public var dispatchQueue:Function;
private var mcButton:MovieClip;
function MyButton (mcButton)
{
EventDispatcher.initialize (this);
this.mcButton = mcButton;
this.init ();
}
function init ()
{
this.mcButton.objRef = this;
this.mcButton.onRelease = function ()
{
Delegate.create(this.objRef, onClick)
}
// clearInterval(timeInt);
}
function onClick ()
{
dispatchEvent ({type:'click', target:this, message:'Hey
dude
the
button was clicked'});
}
};
// ButtonListener.as
// EventDispatcher
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
// Delegate
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class ButtonListener {
public var dispatchEvent:Function;
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
public var dispatchQueue:Function;
private var myButton:MyButton;
function ButtonListener ()
{
myButton = new MyButton(_root.mcButton);
myButton.addEventListener('click', Delegate.create(this,
onClick));
}
function onClick (eventObj)
{
trace(eventObj.target);
trace(eventObj.type);
trace(eventObj.message);
trace(eventObj.time);
}
};
// Timeline
import MyButton;
import ButtonListener;
var myButtonListener = new ButtonListener();
I'm sure it's something blindingly obvious, but how do I get my
ButtonListener class to hear the 'click' event ?
Thanks,
Jon

Re: [Flashcoders] EventDispatcher and Delegate - where am I going wrong...
it seems you are mixing two approaches.
approach 1)
this.mcButton.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, this.onClick)
approach 2)
this.mcButton.objRef = this;
this.mcButton.onRelease = function ()
{
this.objRef.onClick();
}
yep, certainly was!
thanks, option 2 it was, as I need to set some vars in the class

[Flashcoders] accessing events within nested clips
Hi. My question is how do you access events of clips that are nested
inside of other clips with event handlers attached. Lets say you
have clip A that has an onRollOver event handled. Within clip A, you
have clip B and clip C both of which you want onRollOver/onRelease/
ect events handled. Since the onRollOver state of clip A is being
fired, it blocks the event of clip B or C's events from ever being
fired. How do you get around this?
example
clipA.onRollOver = function(){
doSomething();
}
clipA.clipB.onRollOver = function(){
doSomethingElse();
}

RE: [Flashcoders] advice needed: textformatting or css?
Hello Jason, You're right. If you remember, I was trying to make an editor for css-based text. Now I've ended up with transferring the text+css+html thing back and forth - into and out from TextFormat. While it requires several times more code, it seems to work without dirty tricks (not finished yet :-). -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development. Usability services. === Merrill, Jason wrote: I went through the whole WSIWYG text editor in Flash programming thing in Flash 8 recently.

Everything works fine until i put actionscript on a frame. (just a
simple stop(); on the first frame)
then i get this error:

is no method with the name 'super'.
super();

I really have no idea why flash suddenly throws this error. does anyone
has experience with this kind of error?
I put the source files here:

just remove the stop() command in the 'mcLinker' movieclip and you will
see that it works fine.

Actually, option 1 is what you should aim for and option 2 is what you should

Re: [Flashcoders] There is no method with the name 'super'
Hi,
there is no constructor Rectangle() in Rectangle.as, only function
Rectangle( x : Number, y : Number, w : Number, h : Number );
so you cannot call it. You could call super(0,0,0,0);

Re: [Flashcoders] There is no method with the name 'super'
Seems weird, as your code looks ok. If it's any comfort, 'super()' is
called automatically, whether you explicitly call it or not... If you want
to override methods of Rectangle, just override them in your new class.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash environment variables?
Thanks Mark, We are using a source control system (perforce) and I originally wanted to set it up so everyone pointed to the classpath within their own workspaces (absolute path)... for some reason this did not go over well with the team? Perhaps I'll need to explain it to them a bit better. I have also added document relative classpaths for each fla so atleast for now, as long as they're working within the file structure laid out in source control, they can find the classes. I guess I just wanted an easier or recommended way for us all to share the classes. *.* Sherri Quoting Mark Lapasa [EMAIL PROTECTED]: A different (and long-term) approach to your problem would be not to use the variable class path approach. Force your team to use a relative pathing instead of the variable. Then instead of having your 'classes' or other dependencies that your team relies on a shared drive on the network, use a source control system like Visual SourceSafe or Subversion/TortoiseSVN. It is a time-consuming task to get this setup but I think many here would testify that having a source control software managing shared project resources is an investment that will return many times. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] accessing events within nested clips
The simple answer is, you can't. Parent button events always override
child button events. What you're looking for is event bubbling, which is
not natively supported in AS2.
Here are some links to get you started on that:

RE: [Flashcoders] accessing events within nested clips
Since the onRollOver state of clip A is being fired, it blocks the event of clip B or C's events from ever being fired. How do you get around this? Your solution is to nest two child instances within your outer movie clip (clipA), and define event handlers for them (but not for the outer clip). Instead of assigning handler script to the movie clip itself, assign it to a nested clip called something like hotSpot whose depth is lower than that of your button (clipB). Note this hot spot clip may need to be invisible or a custom shape and size. If you need one handler's code to execute from the other handler, just invoke it directly (example: hotSpot.onRollOver();). If you need identical code to execute from both handlers, create a separate function and invoke it from each handler when the proper event is detected. - Jason ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Your code looks good to me. Mighty weird but it just might be the case
intrinsic classes like Rectangle cannot be extended.

Seems weird, as your code looks ok. If it's any comfort, 'super()' is
called automatically, whether you explicitly call it or not... If you want
to override methods of Rectangle, just override them in your new class.

Hi,
there is no constructor Rectangle() in Rectangle.as, only function
Rectangle( x : Number, y : Number, w : Number, h : Number );
so you cannot call it. You could call super(0,0,0,0);

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash environment variables?
everyone pointed to the classpath within their own workspaces (absolute path)... for some reason this did not go over well with the team? This may not apply, but what I've done before is have all members on the team use the same directory structure, eg: c:/data/flash/classes Or whatever you want to call it. Then, flash docs shared all point to same location, even though it's on local drive. Combine this with source control and your staff will never look back, once they've made the adjustment!

Force your team to use a relative pathing instead of the variable. Then instead of having your 'classes' or other dependencies that your team relies on a shared drive on the network, use a source control system like Visual SourceSafe or Subversion/TortoiseSVN. It is a time-consuming task to get this setup but I think many here would testify that having a source control software managing shared project resources is an investment that will return many times. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com -- : : ) Scott ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] There is no method with the name 'super'
Change the name of the classs RectangleExtender to something else and the error
will go away.
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
class RectangleExt extends Rectangle {
function RectangleExt() {
super();
trace(RectangleExt);
}
}
As soon as I change RectangleExt to RectangleExtender, I get the same error
(code or no code in timeline).
Must be a naming conflict with some internal/hidden class.

[Flashcoders] Fever FvAsWing update is available
Hi all ;) Don't know if you already know about Fever project ? For a quick summary... *Fever* is an OpenSource (MPL1.1) framework targeted for Flash Player version = 8. Project is composed in 2 parts : - The logic *Fever Framework* : which defines useful tools to create rich application or web site ( data validation, history managment, visual effect, keyboard managment, I/O and more ) - *FvAsWing extensions* framework : which gives extensions to existing AsWing http://www.aswing.org/display/AsWing/Home GUI Framework. *Fever* is fully compliant with MTASC http://www.mtasc.org/ Compiler. *Fever* profits from the power of the Pixlib http://www.osflash.org/pixlibFramework. A new big update is available now ! ( rev 90 ) Please, take a look at my blog ticket for detail : http://www.customactions.net/webblog/index.php/2006/10/26/55-fever-fvaswing-update-rev-90-big-update An english translation will be available in few dayssorry for delay ;) More info to come if you're interesting Bye.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Book recommendation for multiuser games / apps
On 10/26/06, slangeberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have people had any experience with the Red5 server (http://osflash.org/red5)? If so, how does it compare to other products such as ElectroServer? I've downloaded Red5, but haven't had time to try it out. Hi Scott, I have experience with it as I'm part of the Red5 team developing the product. The main difference between Red5 and a server like Electro server is that Red5 supports many types of protocols (RTMP, AMF, XML-RPC, XMLSocket (soon to come)), where as ElectroServer only uses the XMLSocket connection built into Flash. RTMP allows you to steam video and audio to and from the Flash player making video chat applications possible. You can't do that with XMLSocket. The other nice thing about Red5 is its ability to tap into other server-side APIs very easily, so one example might be an existing MMO game server engine could be used with Flash using Red5 as a sort of proxy. At any rate I'm not too familiar with ElectroServer, so I'm not comfortable comparing them feature by feature. ElectroServer certainly looks like it has a nice client side API though (just based on what I saw on their website). Something like that for Red5 doesn't exists at the moment, but there's no reason why someone couldn't easily create one and wrap the NetConnection stuff like they have with XMLSocket. I hope that helps a little. If you have more questions please ask and I suggest that you sign up on the Red5 mailing list as there are many more experienced people that will help you there. -Chris ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
[Flashcoders] SharedObject and Load Balanced Server
* I apologize if this ends up being a duplicate post, but I think my first attempt to send this didn't go through - If I have a flash module which uses SharedObject in a page on a website which is load balanced, what implications might that have for how data is stored on the client's machine? I'm asking because I know SharedObjects write .sol files to the client's machine using the domain from which the .swf was loaded, so if that .swf was served through a load balanced server, would the flash module have access to the same SharedObject the next time the user hits the site? I am worried that the originating domain for the .swf might be different from the site's domain due to load balancing, thus it would write a SharedObject using the domain of its origin which could be different the next time the user visits the site. thanks ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
[Flashcoders] IDE Question / annoyance
Hi, Apologies if this is OT for the list - could someone point me in the right direction if it is. Does anyone else ever share symbols across FLA files? Using the Flash 8 Pro IDE, I have been trying to do share some of my symbols to share with a main FLA. I thought I would tick the Export for runtime sharing option, but then change my mind and unticked the box. Then I saved my FLA file as a new file to create a /similar/ set of symbols to share, again, with the same main FLA. The problem is that I keep getting conflicts in my main FLA with things disappearing from the main movie, and compiler errors complaining about missing SWF's etc. I checked the properties of some of my symbols that have been shared from other FLA's and the ones that cause problems all have the Import for runtime sharing option ticked with the name of the first SWF that I created. If I go back to my source FLA's, the Export for runtime sharing is not ticked, but the name of the original SWF shows up in the disabled box, when I update these symbols in the main FLA, the settings revert back to import the symbols from a SWF - which I don't want... Is this a quirk or am I missing something?

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] HELP! Zinc projector saving to xml file - 50k limit?
Trouble is with the appendFile in a loop, there's no return whether it's successful or not, so I'm going on to the next append while the previous one is still running. Someone from the director list gave me this: you could just save the xml as a couple of temporary files that are all under 50 k, e.g. as chunk1.txt, chunk2.txt, ..., chunkn.txt, and then in second step, use mdm.System.execStdOut(copy chunk1.txt +chunk3.txt ... +chunkn.txt new.xml) to assemble the chunks to one large xml-file. mdm.System.execStdOut() doesn't return before the command was really executed, so no problems here. afterwards you can use mdm.System.execStdOut(del chunk*.txt) to delete all temporary chunks at once. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

RE: [Flashcoders] mc loads, has a global....
A quick test shows that what you want is do-able. :)
This works:
In a child swf (to be loaded) I used:
function mapThis(){
trace(mapThis() called);
}
function mapThat(){
trace(mapThat() called);
}
_global.mapage = {};// new Object
_global.mapage.mapThis = mapThis;
_global.mapage.mapThat = mapThat;
Then in a parent swf (to load child) I used:
loadee.loadMovie(Child.swf);
aButton.onRelease = function(){
mapage.mapThis();
mapage.mapThat();
}
I suspect you may be overwriting your functions such that _global.gMap is
left with only the last one you assigned to it.

Re: [Flashcoders] LocalConnection and Media Components?
Martin,
Sorry I'm just getting back to you, was out of town for a wedding.
You have things a bit in a weird order in the receiving swf.
Also, receiving_lc outside and inside the initialize function are 2
differenct variables/instances.
receiving_lc in the initialize function is local to the function, because of
the var keyword.
And nested functions are a 'no no'..
If you're coding in the main timeline, try this:
Yes, I'm coding in the main timeline. I have the following code now
(after modding yours) and I still can't get it to work:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
my_display.associateController(my_controller);
my_controller.controllerPolicy = on;
function setMedia(file:String, type:String){
this.my_display.setMedia(file, type);
}
var receiving_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
this.receiving_lc.setMedia = Delegate.create(this, this.setMedia);
this.receiving_lc.connect(myConnections);
In the button movie I have the following code in the main timeline:
var sending_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
sending_lc.connect(myConnections);
