Re: [Flashcoders] SCORM?
For your FLV, you should load it dynamically and keep it external. We had lots of external assets used by our SWF (MP3, FLV, pictures) and we kept them out of the SCOs and out of the imsmanifest.xml, it was becoming hard to list all those files in there ! But if you only have a few external files, then you should (as it is best practice) keep them listed in the manifest. Great, glad to know this is possible. However, did you have control of the LMS server? Or are the FLV's on a separate server? I as as the whole point of scorm and sco's are to enable them to be deployed by almost any LMS, and the admins of this one seem to think that is important. Thanks for the scoring info. I think we'll just keep the overall score for now as that should work fine.

[Flashcoders] Quick Question - Static content on Levels?
Can I place Static Content on my layer (i.e. It is not being placed dynamically, visibel within the FLA) can I place it at a level setting, so that it appears in front of some of the actionScript, placements that come in on various levels after that? Or do I have to run it as a Function and place it via the action script aswell (It is the frame of the screen, and should be there aslong as I am running script on this Frame). Thank you very much.

[Flashcoders] Flair Pattern?
Hey FlashCoders:
In the app I am building, I have a need to add and remove
functionality to an object at runtime--specifically, functionality
that will snap the object to a border. I have puzzled on this for
awhile, and the method that seems most applicable to me is the Flair
pattern described in OOP with ActionScript by Hall Wan. If you
don't have the book, the pattern, in short, is a static class that
dynamically creates a child object on the class it is modifying, and
then adds methods and properties to that object.
My question is: has anyone else used this pattern in AS2 projects? Is
it even the best way to achieve what I am trying to achieve? An
outline of my SnapFlair class follows below.
Any input you can offer is greatly appreciated, as always,
OK

private static var _obj:SnapFlair;

* @param eventName The name of the event that the flair is listening

public function snapOn( target:MovieClip, source:Object,
eventName:String ) {
target.mc.$snapFlair = new Object();

RE: [Flashcoders] SCORM?
Usually we didn't have control over the LMS server but that didn't matter (except for updating and testing ... but that's another story) We delivered everything in our package ... let's say you had a directory structure as follow : - imsmanifest.xml - course (folder) - SCO1.html - sco1.swf - assets (folder) - movie.FLV - movie2.FLV - sound.mp3 - etc ... So when you send your PIF (simple .zip file) to the LMS, all the necessary info should be there. No need to put your movies on another server. They can be all in your package.

[Flashcoders] IE6 problem with SWFAddress?
Hi folks, a friend of mine has a problem with swfaddress and popup windows in ie6. In her site simple site (testpath under http://www.pixel-gallery.com/devopen/emmakunz/index.html) she uses SWFAddress calls only for to change the categorys of the site but sometimes in the galleries (grotte or museum) the getURL javascript call fails (it´s a simple image release event) . The failure looks like that the popup window in ie6 doesn´t appear and the whole site switch to a blank screen. The javascript call has nothing to do with the swfaddress get or set value call because it´s only a simple javascript function call to a window.open event!!! But i think thats the point. It looks like SWFAddress has an eventlistener for load and unload events in the javascript and maybe the simple window.load function which has nothing to do with an adress switching is catched by swfaddress. Don´t know if i´m wrong but did somebody run into a same problem like me? The strange thing is that this only happens in the ing ie6 ;) Firefox, Safari run fine. And it works also in ie6 when i remove the swfaddress.js script.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flair Pattern?
I've never heard of an OOP design pattern called Flair. From the class
you've pasted, it looks like a novice attempt at implementating a design
pattern known as Decorator.
Perhaps they were trying to be funny with a reference to the movie
Office Space where buttons decorating a TGIFriday's uniform were called
Flair? I know that comedy helps when teaching dry material, but
renaming a design pattern like that seems to me to be confusing at best.
At any rate, here is a link to a description of the Decorator pattern.

RE: [Flashcoders] Incremental compilation workflow
http://www.flashos.org/flasc/ :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marcelo de Moraes Serpa Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2007 6:04 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Incremental compilation workflow Hello, How would you go on implementing incremental compilation workflow on Flash 8/AS2? I mean, compiling only the modified classes into their correspondent swfs. Let's say you've got a really big project and that you are constantly messing with code and recompiling it. ANT build files are great, but surely it's not clever to rebuild the whole application when you have modified only one class for example. Take the following application structure (it's not that big application I said earlier of course bit I think it still helps to depict the main issue): - Application.as gets compiled to Site.swf - MenuBar.as gets compiled to Site.swf - IndexForm.as gets compiled to IndexForm.swf - ContactForm.as gets compiled to ContactForm.swf As you can see, I have a Site.swf which is the entry-point of the application. IndexForm.swf and ContactForm.swf are both loaded by Application.as. The MenuBar is a class that implements the menu bar for the site navigation. The menu bar is part of the main application UI and gets compiled into Site.swf. If I update or fix something on the MenuBar.as, for example, I don't want to recompile Application.as into Site.swf, nor compile the other classses to the other swfs. What I want is only inject the new MenuBar.as bytecode into Site.swf (the modified class!). Simple, fast, effective. On FlashDevelop, I used to do this by using the Quick MTASC build feature. I would just write the @mtasc statement in the class' header, inside a javadoc comment, telling where to compile this class. So, if I had to do a quick fix or something, I would just hit CTRL+F8, and the new bytecode for MenuBar.as would get injected into Site.swf. I don't know if there are better (more automatized ways) to do this, and if you know, please share, this is the purpose of this post! Recently I've started using FDT 1.5 on Eclipse 3.2, and while it is a killer piece of software, I miss some of FlashDevelop features, mainly the simple and effective ones such as the Quick MTASC build. Currently, I'm using an ANT build file (the FDT MTASC launcher isn't really of any use in my opinnion) with an ANT target to compile each of the swfs the application is made of. When I'm working on a particular SWF, I set up the ANT external tools configuration to launch only this target. It's not the same as injecting only the modified classes (other non-touched classes get compiled also) but it was the best I could do atm. This message isn't really about implementing this with FDT, though I would love to hear from FDT users how they would do this. What I would like to know (and discuss) are the following points: * Do you feel the need to have this workflow implemented? * Do you already have this workflow implemted somehow? * If so, what tools/techniques do you use (would use) to implement it? Thanks in advance!

Re: [Flashcoders] SCORM?
Hi Dave: I use scorm 1.2 version, when I need to more than one score I use objectives. Each objective works like the score, and it can allow you 21 questions, each objective can have min, max and raw. To work with objective you have to know that the objectives are zero-index, and in the beginning of your quiz, you have to initialize them first. You can write an objective if you didn't initialize first, and you cannot initialize the second of you don't initialize the first. The path for objectives are: To know how many objective are: cmi.objectives._count The score of the first objective: cmi.objectives.0.score.raw Min value of the first objective: cmi.objectives.0.score.min Max value of the first objective: cmi.objectives.0.score.max I hope it helps you Carolina Avila - Original Message - From: Dave Mennenoh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2007 8:38 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] SCORM? I did a small quiz for a client and now they've decided to make it integrate into their LMS. I did some looking and it seems using external interface and calling the LMS like so: ExternalInterface.call(LMSInitialize); should work pretty well. However two things are not making sense to me. I see how I can call LMSSetValue to set the users score but I only see min, max, and raw score entries. The quiz has 21 questions, can I not track the response for each question? Finally, this quiz has a bunch of associated FLV's - 50MB worth. Can the video content be kept outside of the SCO package? Does it need to be included in the manifest XML file?

RE: [Flashcoders] Flair Pattern?
So I was dead on about the Office Space reference. :) The class manages assigning Decorators. It isn't a design pattern. It's a class that manages the Decorator design pattern on multiple objects. I'm not sure where the idea that the Decorator pattern must be used on all or none of the objects in an application, or that Decorated objects cannot be undecorated. There are no references to the Flair design pattern anywhere else because it doesn't exist anywhere except in the ego of Brendan Hall. It's not a design pattern, it's a class that uses another design pattern, and poorly, too, judging by the code example. If you want to learn more about Design Patterns, there are quite a few great books out there on the subject written by people more learned and experienced than Brendan Hall. Like people with PhD's in Computer Science. From the de facto bible Design Patterns by the Gang of Four to many others. ___ 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

You must defined the variable first in your class before using it.

}
that way you won't get any compiler errors

Re: [Flashcoders] access movieclip trough a class
Simply define class members with the instance names of your movie
clips on the stage:
class Holder extends MovieClip {
private var mc1: MovieClip;
function Holder() {
mc1._x = 50;
}
}
n i have a movieClip holder that contains other child movieClips (mc1, mc2,
n mc3...) created in the flash interface.
From the librairie i linked themovieClip holder to this Class.
n
n class Holder extends MovieClip{
n //constructor
n function Holder(){
n mc1._x=50
n }
n }
n
n But it says mc1 is undefined.Well, it is undefined in the class but it is in
n the movieClip which is linked to.
n I was just wondering if i can access the movie clips created in the
n interface trought the linked class and how.
n don't know if i was clear :)

Re: [Flashcoders] access movieclip trough a class
You may have to wait for the child clips to initialise:
Make sure your load order is set to bottom up in the publish settings,
then try to initialise your child clips in the onLoad function.
class Holder {
/**
...
*/
function onLoad() {
mc1._x = 50;
mc2._x = ...
mc3._x = ...
}
}
If that does not work, you may want to add a register function in the
Holder clip. And create a class for your children which calls the
register function.
class Holder {
/**
...
*/
function register(child:MovieClip) {
if(child == mc1) {
mc1._x = 50;
} else if(child == mc2) {
mc2._x = ...
} else {
mc3._x = ...
}
}
}
class Child extends MovieClip {
/**
...
*/
function onLoad() {
this._parent.register(this);
}
}

[Flashcoders] Flash 9 Public Alpha stability issues
Hi all, This is my first post in the list. I've been experimenting in some AS3 development with Flash 9 Public Alpha in our company, coding a racing game prototype. So far the experience has been great, at least from a coding perspective, as I'm using Flex 2 to write the code and Flash 9 to compile and run it. It's much cleaner to code in AS3, I found it very satisfying and much less ugly then AS2, not to mention the increased performance. Not everything went smoothly though. It's rather common to see Flash 9 crash while running the game, taking down the whole IDE with it. At first I thought it was a problem in the IDE itself, but then I started testing the game directly in Flash Player and Internet Explorer. Again, I get random crashes. It's funny, because being such a high level tool, I'm not supposed to be able to generate such violent crashes just by running Actionscript code, so it must certainly be a bug somewhere in the VM, or in the code generated by the Flash 9 Alpha compiler. I tested it in several different computers, all with the same results. It's not happening 100% of the times I test the game, but I can say it happens often enough to be considered alarming. The Fla file has a little over 10 megs, with the SWF being around 3 megs. I'm not using any sound so far, it's basically a lot of sprites and animations. The crashes can happen in just about any part of the game, but usually when the user clicks a button to change the current screen, though the screen itself is pretty much random. I also have noticed the crashes to have increased as I added more assets to the main Fla file, though this might not be true. Is anyone else developing with Flash 9 Alpha? Maybe you're also having such crash problems, but were able to find workarounds or know of any common pitfalls that can cause these problems? I'd appreciate any help, as I'd really like to know if it's too risky to go for developing a full product in this version of flash, or if it's better to just stay in the experimental phase and wait a little more. But we need the Flash IDE to develop our games, it's just not possible to do it with Flex alone. If Flash 9 alpha is really that unstable, we'll just have to keep developing in AS2 for a little longer.

[Flashcoders] Re: IE6 problem with SWFAddress?
I have ran into this nightmare and am still not sure what causes it. Just as I thought I had it beat it I would do a as2js call and the swf would disappear in IE. Something else I have seen is Firefox freeze up the swf. If I had to retroubleshoot it again I would look for this: -Are you using a getURL(javascript:jsFunction()) type call? I have had your problem mixing these in with ExternalInterface. I would first try switching getURL javascript calls to ExternalInterface. Another solution I have heard of is using setTimeout on the Javascript side to delay opening the window for a second I ended up hacking up SwfAddress and moving it off ExternalInterface to the SwfObject/Javascript/ASGateway here: http://blog.deconcept.com/code/intkit/ This has been my most solid in my testing (and lets SwfAdress work with Flash 7) Good luck. ___ 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] Flash 9 Public Alpha stability issues
Hey Frederico, I'm using 9 Alpha for a large game project, and the only problems I've had have been with my code. It seems just as stable as the Flash 8 IDE. There are a couple of things I'm not keen on though, and that's the inability to assign more than one MC to any one Class (which has been addressed in the Flash 9 IDE) and a 'cannot write to read only property' error when adding and manipulating display objects whose classes are loaded from child swfs...

RE: [Flashcoders] Flair Pattern?
I felt that I did qualify my statement, I'll try again with clearly language. My statement: There is no such thing as a Flair design pattern. My qualification: Brendan Hall's book and deep in the archives of Flashcoders back when Brendan operated this list are the only places you will find reference to it. His class uses the Decorator design pattern. Using a design pattern doesn't mean you've made your own design pattern. Calling it a design pattern gives it a level of authenticity that it simply doesn't have and is misleading to anyone who reads it, as the OP has demonstrated with his post. He has no point of reference outside of Brendan's book or this list to support him or his questions. I provided a link that would hopefully help him learn the actual design pattern being used, which is called Decorator. Using Decorator on multiple objects isn't a design pattern, it's the usage of the Decorator design pattern. To your comment that Actionscript isn't C++ or Smalltalk, that's true. My feeling is that Design Patterns are universal, not limited to syntax or language. I didn't mean to imply that GoF holds the one true set of patterns. They don't cover MVC in their book, for instance, a pattern I use regularly. Their book is weighted heavily towards the Composition design pattern, which is slowly being embraced by the Actionscript community. The Flex framework and even the AS3 language are influenced by the power of the Composition design pattern. The Head First Design Patterns book is quite good, as well, and is more accessible than the heady and dense GoF one which I had trouble understanding parts of (often due to lack of experience with C++ and Smalltalk) and had to turn to google and other books to grasp some of the concepts they were talking about. However, the 18 design patterns covered by Head First can all be found in the 23 covered by Gang of Four, and all are on Wikipedia, discussed all over the web, and come up with many useful results in google, in contrast to Brendan's Flair design pattern. To the ad hominem remark: When you're writing a book to help people and claiming you're using a new design pattern who does it serve? The reader or the author? And if it serves the author and not the reader, is that not an ego driven decision? Years ago, a company I worked at sent a few employees to Figleaf for training and the class was taught by Brendan Hall. I walked away from that class with the impression that Brendan spent most of the time telling everyone how smart he was but not teaching very much at all. His class did little to improve my or my coworkers Flash skills. That experience, the way he ran Flashcoders in the early days, and now this, is, I suppose, why I called it an ego driven decision to call it a design pattern. If you see it as ad hominem, that's my fault for not using clear enough language.

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: IE6 problem with SWFAddress?
Yes, mixing getURL and ExternalInterface causes problems with IE6 (and 7 to a lesser extent) when using SWFAddress. He talks about it on his site and there are also discussions on his forum, as well. I didn't see them at first, either. It took me awhile to figure out why the site was behaving oddly because the class that I had that used getURL (an omniture tracking class) wasn't making getURL calls on my server but was on the client's server. I didn't put the two together until I spent an afternoon chatting with Rostislov (the author of SWFAddress) and he asked me casually about whether I was using getURL somewhere else. The solution is to use ExternalInterface instead of getURL(), which actually performs better anyway. -Steven ___ 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] Flair Pattern?
For my part, I have the Head First book, and the Decorator section did not answer the particular questions I had. Nor did the other sources I read.

I'm a little confused as to why the original poster would want to dynamically add or remove functionality to/from an object at runtime. That sounds a bit unstable--code that works perfectly fine when the functionality is added would break when the functionality is removed. Perhaps it is better to add a flag (like the enabled property of movie clips and buttons) and disable certain functionality when it is false (or true or whatever). Other people might be able to chime in here on the best application of Decorator in Actionscript. Personally, I find one of the best uses to be in place of mixing in (i.e., copying functions from the prototype of one class to an unrelated class). In essence, it's a way to get around the every class can have only one parent problem. For example, if I have an IEventDispatcher interface that's implemented by an EventDispatcher class that's descended from Object, then I can't have a component that extends EventDispatcher because components (in AS2) must extend MovieClip. The solution: make a DispatcherClip class that extends MovieClip and implements IEventDispatcher by keeping a hidden EventDispatcher object and wrapping/decorating its public functions. -- T.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flair Pattern?
Respectfully, Isn't that like saying a singleton is just a class that manages a factory? =) A design pattern is a repeatable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software development. So if all a Flair does is manage decorators and 2 people know that's what it does, then that sounds like a design pattern to me (unless there's a ECMA committee for that now a days). =) Anyhow I tend not to use decorators (matter of personal taste).

Re: [Flashcoders] Flex vs. Laszlo
William, This came up on FlexCoders last month. Following is a link to a reply I posted there (that in turn includes links out to other sources): http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/59767 I am interested in a thorough comparison of Flex 2 vs Laszlo, so if anyone can provide a link I would appreciate it. Has anyone here actually used Laszlo? Can anyone provide first hand impressions? Following are a few more bits of what I have heard. Back in the Flex 1.x days the price difference between Flex and Laszlo was enormous. Since Adobe rationalized pricing with Flex 2, Laszlo's price advantage now is negligible. At this point, the only runtime Flex 2 targets is Flash Player 9/AS3. Laszlo targets FP7/AS2, plus Ajax/DHTML and soon Java ME. I believe Laszlo shows future development targeting FP9/AS3. From what I can tell, Laszlo has limited IDE support. Or at least not as robust a support as Flex Builder 2 provide for Flex 2 development. Back in 2005 an IBM alphaworks project was announced to provide Laszlo support in Eclipse: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/ide4laszlo hth, g On 1/29/07, William Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am looking at both of these and they seem to be pretty similar.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flair Pattern bad mixins good (?)
The theory of mixins originated from multiple inheritance programming
languages such as C++.
So for example: Say you wanted to make an object dragable, clickable and
resizable. You would then create separate classes called: Dragable,
Clickable and Resizable (common naming convention for a mixin).
Then your base class would just inherit form those 3 classes.
Since AS2 doesn't support multiple inheritances you can emulate a mixin
using interfaces and composed classes.
For example:
IClickable, IDragable, IResizable
So then your AS2 class would say:
Class MyClass extends Whatever implements IClickable, IDragable, IResizable
Those interfaces just specify what methods your class has to support.
From there you could have a class (or a consolidated class) implement that
functionality
private var clickable:Clickable = new Clickable();
private var dragable:Dragable = new Dragable();
private var resizeable:Resizeable = new Resizeable();
from there you just forward / wire the appropriate methods to its
corresponding instances.
public function startResize()
{
this.resizeable.startResize();
}
Or for arguments:
public function startResize()
{
this.resizeable.apply.(this.resizeable.startResize, arguments);
}
You could get even more fancy by externalizing those classes so based on
various rules you could pass in different resize logic, etc.
Anyhow, hope that gets the gears turning. =)
DISCLAIMER: Didn't spell check or test anything in the compiler so maybe
some typos. =)

enter the State and Strategy Patterns :)
The State Pattern would be implemented like the above example when you
described a fancier version with multiple resize classes. Those resize
classes can be swapped out at run-time to provide different
functionality. For example, the object resizes from the center or from
the corner depending on the resize class composited.
The Strategy Pattern is similar but the composited functionality is an
encapsulated algorithm. In theory, you would have a bunch of concrete
algorithm classes and depending on your needs at run-time composite the
right one to perform a calculation.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flair Pattern bad mixins good (?)
OK, this is helping a lot. And Steven I see what you mean, poor Flair
is starting to look a little meager now.
In my app, I have several different states. Each state sets itself
up by initializing variables and drawing its various pieces, and the
final piece is to subscribe various parts of the app to events that
happen in other parts. So in one state I have methods like:
onRoomObjectPress()
onRoomObjectRelease()
that are triggered by onPress and onRelease events in my object
movieclips. These onSomething() methods contain the core logic of the
app--code to resize clips or process values or what have you. This
structure is good because I know where to look to track down where
things happen, but its bad because sometimes a bunch of things are
supposed to happen at once and those onSomething() methods get hairy.
So in this new mixin strategy (which does look a lot like Strategy,
thanks James!), should I design my Snappable class to have methods
that would map to movieclip events, such as:
startObjectDrag triggered by obj_mc.onPress
checkForSnap triggered by setInterval or onEnterFrame type of event,
in this case onObjectDrag
stopObjectDrag triggered byobj_mc.onRelease
Am I headed in the right direction?
Thank you again, this
OK
