[Flashcoders] How to remove scrollbar on Flash Paper via Flash Paper component
Hi list
I am using the FlashPaper Component 0.7 to display flashpaper elements in my
Flash movie (Flash 8 PC CDROM)
Does anyone know how to remove the scrollbar? I have managed to remove all
the other UI elements with the following code but a scrollbar is still
appearing on the right hand side. I do not want my user to be able to scroll
the document.
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("Close", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("Brand", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("ZoomKeys", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("Overflow", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("Page", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("Sidebar", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("Pop", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("Find", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("Zoom", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("Tool", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("Print", false);
FP_Object.document_fp.showUIElement("PrevNext", false);
I also tried the following but it does not seem to have any affect:
FP_Object.document_fp.enableScrolling(false);
Btw, I have put my flash paper component inside a container movie clip,
which I am attaching and removing on the fly as and when it is needed.
Thanks
Paul

[Flashcoders] Transformation Matrix to MovieClip properties
Hi, I'm working on a jsfl script that should get movieclips properties for future use. Taking a look at the jsfl reference, I realized that's possible to get the Transformation Matrix of an element, instead of getting the _xscale, _yscale and _rotation directly. The thing is I didn't get it how to convert the Transformation Matrix to MovieClip properties values.. Can anyone of you guys help me about it? The matrix returned via jsfl has the a, b, c, d, tx and ty parameters, and I need to know the _xscale, _yscale and _rotation of the movieclips. Thank you in advance!

Thanks Muzak
Strange as I did google it and didn't come up with anything though it was
the wee early hours of the morning and I was not fully functional!!
Cheers anyway - that looks like just the trick!

[Flashcoders] Antialiasing BitmapData in AS2?
Hey all, I've been mucking about with a metablob-type thing, and have got it rendering quite nicely. However, it only renders a black-or-white (1bit) bitmap - does anyone know of a good technique to do fast antialiasing on such a bitmap? I've tried blurring a bit (which is slow as hell, and looks crap) and rendering at 1/2 res and scaling up with a draw() with smoothing on, which also looks crap. Any better suggestions?

[Flashcoders] Cancelling a load in progress : has this issue ever been fully resolved ???
Hi! Just wondering if anyone ever found a solution to stop loading something that is currently loading in the Flash Player (an image, a sound, an XML file, etc.)? I've heard and tried about loading a dummy (non-existent) file in place of the file being loaded to stop the load process. When I used it, it seemed to work but I've read it doesn't work in all OS/Browser combinations. I think there are issues with this on the Mac, in Safari and/or IE 5. Is that right? Does this method effectively stops a load in progress in all OS/Browser combinations? With this method, I noticed that if I halted a load in progress at say 75% by loading a dummy file in place of the one currently being loaded, and then restarted loading that file later on, the load starts at 75%. So where is this "partial" file being stored? Is it in memory? Is it in the browser cache (even if it's only partial)? David Bored stiff? Loosen up...

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Extending Class with Static Variables, recommended practice
You only need to declare things in child classes if you're overriding them, so unless you're doing that you should just declare them in the super class. Also, I tend to think it's bad idea to override variables, but that may just be me. -Andy On 2/1/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi I'm cuurrently refactoring some code in a project with lots of extended classes.

[Flashcoders] Detecting NaN
I'm trying to convert an arbitrary object into a Number, and then
detect if the conversion actually succeeded. In theory I would
convert it and then check if the converted value is NaN, but this
doesn't seem to work.
Here's my test. In a blank FLA I put the following code:
--
var foo = "foobar";
var fooN:Number = Number(foo);
trace(typeof(fooN));
if(fooN == NaN) {
trace("fooN is NaN");
} else {
trace("fooN is a number: " + fooN);
}
--
This should output:
number
fooN is NaN
but instead I get:
number
fooN is a number: NaN
For some reason the check to see if it's NaN isn't working, and I have
no idea why.
It looks like I can use isNaN(fooN) for the check instead, but I'm
wondering why == doesn't work.

you must creates benchs to test all solutions but the first is the sort()
method with a custom method
var myArray:Array = [
[20,40],
[20,10],
[30,15],
[30,35],
[40,100],
[1000,1]
];
var compare:Function = function ( a , b )
{
if ( a[1] < b[1] )
{
return -1 ;
}
else if (a[1] > b[1] )
{
return 1 ;
}
else
{
return 0 ;
}
}
trace(myArray) ;
myArray.sort( compare ) ;
trace(myArray) ;
I think the Actionscript in FP8 or FP9 really speed !
EKA+ :)
2007/2/1, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello,
Can anybody tell me how to sort the following array based upon the second
value
within each array item
myArray:Array = [ [20,40],[20,10],[30,15],[30,35],[40,100],[1000,1]];
this should be something like
[[1000,1], [20,10], .
Faster the better cos its for a game and gets called a lot of times.

Re: [Flashcoders] 2-d sort solver
Shouldn't your mySorter() function have a return at the end or in an
'else' block? Otherwise you're only returning a value when the
condition passes, which isn't really a good idea.

What is the recommended practice in declaring static vs non-static (private

Should they be declared in both the super and sub classes?
My goal is to avoid any redundant code.
Thanks
Note:
class SuperClass {

class SubClass extends SuperClass {

// Traces "SuperClass".
Overriding static variables does not work as you might expect. To get
this to work correctly, the variable would have to be non-static.
Other than that, you should never have to redundantly add anything to
the subclass. If the superclass and the subclass both use a string
variable called "name", just declare it in the superclass--there's no
point at all in redeclaring it in the subclass. The whole idea of
inheritance was created to avoid just that type of redundancy.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Extending Class with Static Variables, recommended practice
Hi, I am not an expert, but from what I have read. Private variables, don't
need to be declared, so if you don't need them outside the function, or
event I think you can keep things neat by not declaring them at all until
you assign them.
And non-static variables, (dynamic variables) I would assign to an
instance. VarInstanceName = eval("varNameDynamicInstance"+i)l for exapmle
if you are using calling them via a for loop. (for i= value ; i condition
;i++){code;} .
Unless you need them outside of the sub Class you can just leave them in
the function without declairing them. If you need them in across the Class,
define them in the class function declaration. eg.
_global.myClassName=function(){
varName1 = 1;
varName2 = "Some String";}
And of course if you need them across Seperate Classes define them as
_global.varName.
Hope this helps.
Like to hear other solutions.

[Flashcoders] controlling quicktime and windows media player from flash via javascript
Longest. Subject line. Ever. I have a project which requires a Flash UI to control either a Quicktime or Windows Media Player plugin instance (based on a user preference). I'm guessing the way to do this is using externalinterface, javascript, and each player's respective UI. I can figure it out, but I'm wondering if anyone's seen/done examples of this before I just dive right in. thanks, -josh ___ 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] Q:Extending Class with Static Variables, recommended practice
I think you might be a bit confused. "private" variables aren't ones
that are just used in individual functions, but are data that the
class needs to persist but doesn't want visible to those using the
class. These should always be declared (and I think they have to be
or the compiler will choke, at least doing strict AS2). Even if
you're extending Object (so you can do things like this.foo = "stuff"
without foo being declared) it's still a good idea to declare them.
If you're using the variable to store information that needs to
persist you really want it declared so you can be sure you're using
the right variable. If you need that data later (or if someone else
is working on the code and needs it) and it isn't declared it could be
difficult to figure out where the data is stored if it isn't declared.
And I'm not sure what you mean by your non-static variables thing
("assign to an instance"). From your example I think you're mixing
that up as well. Static variables are variables that are shared
between all instances of a particular class, and don't need an
instance of the class to be accessed (most commonly used for constants
or singleton instances). Non-static variables are tied to a
particular instance of a class.
Also, in general I don't think it's a good idea to use _global.
Global variables aren't really things that should be needed in good
OOP design. For things that you need to access from anywhere and want
only a single instance of then that's what Singletons are for, and
they're a bit safer than global variables.
The main reason I think global variables are dangerous is that they're
shared by *everything*. This makes it very difficult to avoid name
collisions unless you go with really convoluted variable names. You
have no way of knowing if some other code or package is using the same
global variable as you.

Re: [Flashcoders] fullscreen javascript
It would probably be better if you find one solution that works for all browsers (that you want to support) instead of trying to switch between different methods for different browsers. Browser detection isn't always completely accurate, and it adds unnecessary complexity. We do something like this in our product. I don't remember the specific code for it, but we use javascript to detect the screen size and then open the window with that size. It's worked for every browser we've thrown it at. -Andy On 2/1/07, Gustavo Duenas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: well it works on safari, there is a way to detect the browser type in order to redirect or to open a window Regards.

Not true, unless you are using AS1 or your class is dynamic (which is
not the default and generally not a great idea). Private variables
must be declared in AS2 and AS3. Variables that are internal to a
function must also be declared, but can be declared anywhere in the
function (e.g., at initial assignment).
And non-static variables, (dynamic variables) I would assign to an
instance. VarInstanceName = eval("varNameDynamicInstance"+i)l for exapmle
if you are using calling them via a for loop. (for i= value ; i condition
;i++){code;} .
eval() is deprecated. Better to use this["varNameDynamicInstance" +
i]. Even better to keep an array of instances and loop through that.

Actually, you have to even if extending Object. The only time you
don't have to declare private variables is if you specifically set
your class to be dynamic:
class FixedObject extends Object {
public function FixedObject() {
foo = "bar"; // Throws an error, since "foo" was never declared.
}
}
dynamic class DynamicObject extends Object {
public function FixedObject() {
foo = "bar"; // Works fine.
foo = new Date(); // Also works fine.
}
}
Generally using dynamic classes is not a good practice, since you
can't do compile-time type checking on dynamic classes.
(Incidentally, it is possible to create a dynamic subclass of a fixed
class, too.)

[Flashcoders] Simple clip stop problem?
Hey all, I'm having what should be a simple thing turn in to a problem. Have a ship sprite for my game, that's a movie clip. I designed it with two layers (one for the images, one for actionscript). The clip contains three sections - 1) Plain ship (1 keyframe), 2) Ship with engine "on" (1 keyframe), 3)Ship expoloding (8 keyframes). I call the first to with .gotoAndStop(1) and .gotoAndStop(2) respectively (and each one of those frames has a stop() in the actionscript layer). When I call the third one with .gotoAndPlay(3), it plays the explosion but loops back around to keyframe 1, which I of course don't want. I just want it to play that explosion and stop on the last keyframe (which is a blank keyframe). I tried putting a stop() in the last keyframe of the actionscript layer in that clip, which didn't help. I would appreciate help, as the coder in me just wants to do a routine then in the main stage actionscript that would just do an counter that increments during each frame of the main movie and manually call each frame of the ship movie. But I shouldn't have to do that, as how I'm trying to do it now should be old hat for a Flash animation. Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting NaN
Andy,
Like the other poster said, us isNaN, but I was also curious about why
this might be true.
I found this link on the subject that will be helpful (original page
down):
http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:ilnSqw-hBjwJ:livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/package.html+Flash+NaN+equality&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=3
"The |*NaN*| value is not considered equal to any other value, including
|*NaN*|, which makes it impossible to use the *equality* operator to
test whether an expression is |*NaN*|. To determine whether a number is
the |*NaN*| function, use |isNaN()|."

I'm trying to convert an arbitrary object into a Number, and then
detect if the conversion actually succeeded. In theory I would
convert it and then check if the converted value is NaN, but this
doesn't seem to work.
Here's my test. In a blank FLA I put the following code:
--
var foo = "foobar";
var fooN:Number = Number(foo);
trace(typeof(fooN));
if(fooN == NaN) {
trace("fooN is NaN");
} else {
trace("fooN is a number: " + fooN);
}
--
This should output:
number
fooN is NaN
but instead I get:
number
fooN is a number: NaN
For some reason the check to see if it's NaN isn't working, and I have
no idea why.
It looks like I can use isNaN(fooN) for the check instead, but I'm
wondering why == doesn't work.

The way you described it should work, maybe there is something else that is triggering the loop. What else is happening on your stage after the explosion?

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple clip stop problem?
Not sure why it would repeat like that. You can try making a new movieclip for the explosion then place that on the 3rd frame. In that case you would just have to call .gotoAndStop(3); --- Martin Scott Goldberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey all, I'm having what should be a simple thing > turn in to a problem. > > Have a ship sprite for my game, that's a movie clip. > I designed it with > two layers (one for the images, one for > actionscript).

RE: [Flashcoders] sort 2d array
Consider:

10K entries sorted in:
sortOn(1) : 5ms
sort(compare) : 13ms
This works because array indices are considered as keys just like normal

Not sure why it would repeat like that. You can try making a new movieclip for the explosion then place that on the 3rd frame.

[Flashcoders] Class Initiation Q:
I created a simple class for an object that would be attached to the Stage
with a simple:
attachMovie("blah", "bla");
it all works great, but I wanted to move the code completely away from the
timeline and move it into
a new class that will initiate the whole process.
So my first thought was attach the Movie within the original class, but of
course now my events wont have effect into the new created object.
So what would be the best approach?
In the perfect world I would have a class that will then use the class that
I created to create new items without having to do any coding in the
timeline
One more thing, I tried registerClass after creating the objects within the
original class, it works but for some odd reason it adds 2 items on the
stage
rather than only 1 as requested.

[Flashcoders] how do I setvalue and then getvalue between flash and scorm server
Hello all,
I am working on a flash video learning program. I have encoded the FLV video
with 5 cuepoints that set to navigation cuepoint. I have full playback
features for this video and five buttons to let the audiences to directly go
to the cuepoint if they want to.
Here is my problem, I can't get the FSCommand to track and record the
prograss of the video. And if I can use FSCommand to track and record
prograss, can I use this track information to resume video playback? For
example, an audience closed the webpage at cuepoint 3, is it possible I can
use the FSCommand's tracking information to let the audience resume where he
stopped? The code I have is below without the resume playback part. Thank
you very much.

within each array item
myArray:Array = [ [20,40],[20,10],[30,15],[30,35],[40,100],[1000,1]];
this should be something like
[[1000,1], [20,10], .

To interactively scale/rotate/move any MoveClip in an intuitive way at runtime in a manner similar to modern-day graphics applications like Photoshop and Illustrator, feel free to use my TransformManager class: http://www.greensock.com/ActionScript/TransformManager/ There's an interactive sample there. I put a lot of time into attempting to making it user-friendly and relatively intuitive, but I haven't tested it extensively yet so your comments/suggestions are welcome.

Re: [Flashcoders] how do I setvalue and then getvalue between flash and scorm server
if you can use ExternalInterface (Flash 8) or the Javascript
Integration Kit (http://osflash.org/flashjs) to communicate back and
forth with your LMS.
As for having cuepoints triggering your actions you should look up
FLVPlayback.cuePoint events
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=3488.html#wp3773909
// from livedocs
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace("Elapsed time in seconds: " + my_FLVPlybk.playheadTime);
trace("Cue point name is: " + eventObject.info.name);
trace("Cue point type is: " + eventObject.info.type);
}
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
inside your listener function you could define your LMS actions.

that set to navigation cuepoint. I have full playback features for
this video and five buttons to let the audiences to directly go to the
cuepoint if they want to.
Here is my problem, I can't get the FSCommand to track and record the
prograss of the video. And if I can use FSCommand to track and record
prograss, can I use this track information to resume video playback?
For example, an audience closed the webpage at cuepoint 3, is it
possible I can use the FSCommand's tracking information to let the
audience resume where he stopped? The code I have is below without the
resume playback part. Thank you very much.
Code:
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
var my_flvPb:FLVPlayback;
my_flvPb.autoPlay = false;
btn1.label = "Part1";
btn2.label = "Part2";
btn3.label = "Part3";
btn4.label = "Part4";
btn5.label = "Part5";
function clickMe1() {
my_flvPb.seekToNavCuePoint("cue1");
trace("Cue point 1")
FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.raw, 20");
FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.lesson_status, failed");
}
function clickMe2() {
my_flvPb.seekToNavCuePoint("cue2");
trace("Cue point 2")
FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.raw, 40");
FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.lesson_status, failed");
}
function clickMe3() {
my_flvPb.seekToNavCuePoint("cue3");
trace("Cue point 3")
FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.raw, 60");
FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.lesson_status, failed");
}
function clickMe4() {
my_flvPb.seekToNavCuePoint("cue4");
trace("Cue point 4")
FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.raw, 80");
FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.lesson_status, failed");
}
function clickMe5() {
my_flvPb.seekToNavCuePoint("cue5");
trace("Cue point 5")
FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.score.raw, 100");
FSCommand("LMSSetValue","cmi.core.lesson_status, finished");
}
btn1.addEventListener("click", clickMe1);
btn2.addEventListener("click", clickMe2);
btn3.addEventListener("click", clickMe3);
btn4.addEventListener("click", clickMe4);
btn5.addEventListener("click", clickMe5);
the FSCommand works everytime I click on the button, how can I make
them work when the video playback reach a cuepoint automatically?
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Daniel Zhu

Re: [Flashcoders] Cancelling a load in progress : has this issue ever been fully resolved ???
currently using actionScript 1 or 2 is not possible. AS 3 has this function but if you wont use it so i try loading into the same level or the same container a an swf that doesnt exists. Since you are trying to load an swf into the same level or movie it will override the firsl loading and trying to load something else that, obviously doesn't exist.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Q:Dynamically Scale a MovieClip by dragging
that's soo cool!!! Just what i needed Good work man! I wish i could be fluible with using class that way one day :( add me on your msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks so much On 2/2/07, Jack Doyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: To interactively scale/rotate/move any MoveClip in an intuitive way at runtime in a manner similar to modern-day graphics applications like Photoshop and Illustrator, feel free to use my TransformManager class: http://www.greensock.com/ActionScript/TransformManager/ There's an interactive sample there. I put a lot of time into attempting to making it user-friendly and relatively intuitive, but I haven't tested it extensively yet so your comments/suggestions are welcome. It should handle just about any MovieClip regardless of where the registration point is, etc. Hope it helps.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, either pseudo-code or an existing example online? Thanks in advance!
