[Flashcoders] 2D arrays
hi list -
i thought that flash supported 2d arrays of the [x][y] syntax persuasion.
can someone give me some pointers what I'm doing wrong?
maybe you cant create arrays this way, you can only access them?
function artest() {
var arr = new Array();
arr[1][1] = "whatsup";
arr[3] = "three";
trace("arr is:");
trace(arr);
trace(arr[1][1]); // undefined
trace(arr[3]); // three
}
arr is:
undefined,undefined,undefined,three
undefined
three

Re: [Flashcoders] 2D arrays
David,
Flash handles arrays such as a[x][x] as arrays of arrays.
So what you'd be setting up is something that looks like this:
var a:Array=[ [1,2,3],[4,5,6]];
which you could create as above, or to adjust the code to look more like
yours:
var a:Array=new Array();
a[0]=new Array(); // This is the step that you were missing...
a[0][0]=1;
a[0][1]=2;
a[0][2]=3;
a[1]=new Array(); // You need to do this for each array contained
in the top-level array
a[1][0]=4;
a[1][1]=5;
a[1][2]=6;
Make sense?
HTH,
Ian

[Flashcoders] Mid level Flasher needed.
Hi all, I just posted a job on Craigslist Maryland. You can get an idea of what I'm looking for there: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/art/249738732.html. I have some pretty damn cool gigs (some boring too I guess) that I need help on. I've got more work than I can handle and my family is starting to not recognize me. You need to have good programing skills and good design. Money wise I'm generous, but I'm pretty certain I couldn't afford some of the mega-flashers that post here. I guess, I'm looking for someone mid-level. Maybe someone who operates on a top notch level, but needs some high profile clients in there portfolio. Heres an example of the first project I need help on: http://www.holidayinnexpresspromotion.com/interactiveexperience/window.html I need 4 of those types of things mid January. I don't have time to do a lot of hand holding so be confident! I'm in Glenwood Maryland USA. Yes, it would be great if I could meet you in person, but what the hell, I've never seen most of the people I work for and it's worked out very well. Anyway, if you feel that you can help let me know and we'll talk.

[Flashcoders] FLVPlayback question...
hey, I had the same problem and manage to get around it with adding a 0.1sdelay to the function that load the video, so its not being called once the component [or the movieclip that holds it] is attached but once its already on the stage. hth a On 12/15/06, Josh Santangelo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I've had similar problems and struggled for weeks to solve them. I found that in general, FLVPlayback is much more reliable with RTMP streams than HTTP. Another thing to mess with is the visiblePlayerIndex and activePlayerIndex properties. Instead of playing one file right after the other in the same player, switch between a couple of player indexes. I think this approach works a bit better. -josh On Dec 13, 2006, at 10:36a, grimmwerks wrote: > I've got an instance of the FLVPlayback in an app that is getting sent > a path; it's contentPath was just being resent the new path. > > It's not working 100%, as every so often it decides it doesn't want to > load that requested video. > > What's a better way of using one FLVPlayback object that reloads video > requested?

RE: [Flashcoders] Outlook and Flash
Jason - Depending on your constraints for the runtime / player of the application you could use Proto to host the Flash files as sort of an integration and scaffolding layer, then use VBA to integrate w/ office apps. Here's two links if you want to check that out: 1. Proto flash integration: http://www.protosw.com/products/features/flash 2. a movie/ demo showing Outlook contacts pulled and put onto a Yahoo! map (that is just a SWF running in Proto. sort of like you would do w/ the calendar): http://www.protosw.com/products/intro-movie I'm happy to answer questions that are non-flash related about Proto off-list too if you want to email me directly.

Can a third party app for Flash be used to call an application which will retrieve this data? I know there would be security issues on that too, but I was tasked to investigate this. I might have some resources to write that application, but wouldn't know what the possibilities would be on the Flash end. Anyone done any integration with Outlook before? Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 with Flash Authoring 9
Daniel, AS3 requires Flash Player 9. Is that dependency ok for your application? As of the latest FP penetration stats (Sept '06), FP9 is only at around 36% (of the known universe). Some have reported successfully deploying on external facing sites with the express install very easily upgrading anyone who doesn't have FP9. If you are ok with the FP9 dependency, I personally encourage you to immediately migrate now into AS3, using the beta version of the Flash Authoring #9. FP9 is substantially faster. The changes between AS2 and AS3 are not trivial. If AS3 is in your future, and if you are ok with the FP9 dependency now, I would encourage you to not building any more legacy AS2 code. My 2¢ I am eager to hear other people's thoughts too :-) hth, g On 12/16/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, I am getting ready to launch officially a major project of e-learning programs with a lot of interactive graphics and animation.

[Flashcoders] [WORK-AROUND] ScrollPane malfunction in IE but not Firefox
As reported previously, IE (but never Firefox) will
incorrectly begin firing its onComplete event handler
before it has fully loaded and initialized its
internal "spContentHolder" movieclip.
If I hit F5 to reload the SWF from the browsers cache
the scrollpane will load correctly (from the cache).
After thinking about this, I realized that I could
simulate a browser cache refresh by calling
ScrollPane.refreshPane()which forces a reload of its
internal "spContentHolder" movieclip but this time
*from*the*browser*cache*. It appears to do the trick.
I mention it here, in case it will help others.
To see the bug in IE clear the cache and then observe
the behavior here:
http://dennislandi.com/tiledesigner/tile_designer05_x100.html
And then here is the fixed version:
http://dennislandi.com/tiledesigner/tile_designer06_x100.html
Heres is a snippet of my code showing how I handled
this:
function OnLeftScrollPaneComplete() {
if (!_root.scrollpane_loaded) {
_root.scrollpane_loaded = true;
_root.leftScrollpane.refreshPane();
return;
};
...//continue with normal onComplete code here...
};
Hope that helps others. Too often I see a bug
reported here without ever seeing a resolution
posted... This doesn't fix the bug in IE's Flash
Player but it appears to be a rock-solid work-around.
Mind you, I load an empty moviclip into the
scrollPane's "spContentHolder" property, so there is
no penalty in instantly loading again from the
cache...
Cheers.
