Re: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
The only case in which depth would be identical for
two movieclips is if they both were contained in
different parent movieclips.
In that case, check the parent's depth, and use that
to resolve the conflict. If both of those are the
same, continue going up until the conflict is
resolved.

Re: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
It looks like you spent some time on this response, I really
appreciate that. As I mentioned in my first mail, depth, _visible and
_alpha are the properties I'm checking right now to resolve conflicts.
So my code looks very similar to your code below. This works
sometimes, but I've run into cases where there are 2 movieclips for
which hitTest() is true, _visible is true, _alpha is 100, and the
depths are identical. One of the movieclips is obscured behind the
other; there must be some way to distinguish them. Are there any
other properties on movieclips (maybe hidden ones) that might be of
use? The Flash runtime must be doing this internally for onRollOver
event firing; anyone know how this works?
Thanks,
Vishal

Ok, I see your problem, so lets think what else you can do with the hitTest
approach...
First of all, you can set the shape flag to true, so that the hit test will
only return true if there's something there (as opposed to the entire
bounding rect).
Then you can test for _alpha (you might want to test for _visible also),
thus eliminating invisible buttons, such as your big rectangle that obscures
the rest.
Finally, checking for different depths - I recently discovered that if you
loop through a clip, it starts at the highest depth, even on the same layer:
for (var i in _root) {
trace(i + " " +_root[i].getDepth());
}
$version
clip3 -16379
clip2 -16381
clip1 -16383
So now you know which one has the highest depth: clip3, which also comes
first in the loop.
At this point, you can break the loop. If you need to go deeper, you can
then recurse within that clip, and see if it has any child mcs, which one of
those scores the highest hitTest and if that one has any children - etc.
Here's some quick&dirty code:
for (var i in _root) {
trace(i + " " +_root[i].getDepth());
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
for (var i in this) {
var clip = this[i];
if (!(clip instanceof MovieClip)) {
continue;
}
if (clip._alpha == 0 || clip._visible == 0) {
continue;
}
if (clip.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
trace(clip);
break;
}
}
};
On the timeline, I placed three circular clips overlapping eachother, so
that clip1 is at the lowest depth and clip3 at the highest. I made clip3
invisible by setting it's alpha to 0.
After moving my mouse over the clips, starting from the third, the trace
result was:
$version
clip3 -16379
clip2 -16381
clip1 -16383
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip1
_level0.clip1
_level0.clip1
Each time the trace picked out the highest visible part of a clip, thus
resolving any conflicts.
Hope this helps to point you in the right direction.

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts
My understanding is that it's the default behaviour of a clip with
any mouse events handled at all, that the cursor changes when it
enters the clip.
Using useHandCursor, you could turn that feature off as the default, and then
back on when you test positive for your viewable clip area.
Something like this:
clip.useHandCursor = false;
clip.onPress = function(){
}
clip.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.useHandCursor = (this.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true));
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts of a movieClip
If I were looking for the super-ideal "correct" algorithm and hade infinite coding monkeys, I would at init time create bitmaps of every library item, and use flood-fill combined with trig math to generate vector "trace" shapes of the non-white areas, which I would draw as zero alpha shapes into a movie clip attached to each raster movie clip. And then iterate throgh the display list calling hitTest on these invisible shapes. You'd avoid any code to copy bitmap data, would still be able to otherwise treat your clips as normal clips, and would get pre-built hitTest() behavior for the vector shaps, without having extra design-time work when images are added. The code to convert a bitmap into vectors would be the tricky part, but is technically doable. I may be tired as well. Just thinking outside the box.

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts of a movieClip
Can't you override the onMouseOver of the clips to prevent the cursor change? Or wait, why would the cursor be changing? There's no onRollover event being specifically handled, but each of the clips has onPress, onRelease and onReleaseOutside events handled. My understanding is that it's the default behaviour of a clip with any mouse events handled at all, that the cursor changes when it enters the clip. In the case of a clip comprising a vector graphic the change occurs when it enters a non-white area. In the case of a clip containing a bitmap, it changes when the cursor enters the bounding rectangle of the clip. ___ 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] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts of a movieClip
Also, just looking this up made me notice that as of Flash 8, you can do pixel-level hit detection between not only a bitmap and a point, but 2 bitmaps, with alpha threshold support!

[Flashcoders] Detecting mouse events over non-white parts of a movieClip
Hi I need to detect mouse events on a movieclip's non-white content rather than it's bounding rectangle even where the contents are bitmap based. I'm putting together an activity for kids where they create a piece of art by dragging and dropping visual elements onto their canvas, then they can subsequently select these elements to move them, resize them, rotate, delete them etc. The user must be able to accurately select these elements even when they are overlapping – so long as a movieClip is partially visible, it needs to be selectable. The problem of course is that the movieClips are responding to mouse events as soon as the mouse enters their bounding rectangle. The items they drag are sourced from photographic material and need to remain as bitmap–based movieClips. They are a collection of everyday items: fruit, plants, vehicles, people etc and currently they are imported as PNGs with an alpha channel. One option would be to make a vector graphic version of every single graphic, have that layered behind in each clip and have that detect the mouse events – but what a pain! There has to be a simpler way? I guess I need seomething like a background transparent blending mode – but there isn't one:( I'm sure others have tackled this problem. Anyone?

RE: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
Jason -
This is a valid point, but even if flash is doing it with every mouse move,
it's probably not a good idea to make it do it all over again each time...
But I'm not sure what's more efficient - mouseMove, enterFrame or mouseOver?

RE: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
Ok, I see your problem, so lets think what else you can do with the hitTest
approach...
First of all, you can set the shape flag to true, so that the hit test will
only return true if there's something there (as opposed to the entire
bounding rect).
Then you can test for _alpha (you might want to test for _visible also),
thus eliminating invisible buttons, such as your big rectangle that obscures
the rest.
Finally, checking for different depths - I recently discovered that if you
loop through a clip, it starts at the highest depth, even on the same layer:
for (var i in _root) {
trace(i + " " +_root[i].getDepth());
}
$version
clip3 -16379
clip2 -16381
clip1 -16383
So now you know which one has the highest depth: clip3, which also comes
first in the loop.
At this point, you can break the loop. If you need to go deeper, you can
then recurse within that clip, and see if it has any child mcs, which one of
those scores the highest hitTest and if that one has any children - etc.
Here's some quick&dirty code:
for (var i in _root) {
trace(i + " " +_root[i].getDepth());
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
for (var i in this) {
var clip = this[i];
if (!(clip instanceof MovieClip)) {
continue;
}
if (clip._alpha == 0 || clip._visible == 0) {
continue;
}
if (clip.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
trace(clip);
break;
}
}
};
On the timeline, I placed three circular clips overlapping eachother, so
that clip1 is at the lowest depth and clip3 at the highest. I made clip3
invisible by setting it's alpha to 0.
After moving my mouse over the clips, starting from the third, the trace
result was:
$version
clip3 -16379
clip2 -16381
clip1 -16383
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip1
_level0.clip1
_level0.clip1
Each time the trace picked out the highest visible part of a clip, thus
resolving any conflicts.
Hope this helps to point you in the right direction.

Re: [Flashcoders] Little Problem with AMFPHP browser
In the error message, it's got "amfphp" repeated in the path - maybe you
need to copy the real path from here rather than using __FILE__ because
that may be called from sub-directories, etc.
Try this:
/hsphere/local/home/blurred/blurredistinction.com/amfphp/
if that does not work, try removing "amfphp/"

Re: [Flashcoders] to get last browsed web page before current
If you have access to PHP you can use http referrer (which isn't 100%
effective, but one of the better solutions)
$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}
I'm not sure how well that will work with a Flash application but
potentially you could send that to flash via a flashvar in PHP from your
page.

not working either. but i'm trying to work thru a solution i just found on the archives where the UnicodeTable.xml file that feeds the Flash IDE is updated to include the range for unicode for a non-breaking space. http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2006-March/162967.html i haven't gotten it working yet but i believe it's because i'm not writing the unicode correctly into my flash string. i'm writing it like this: myText = "here is where i want an extra space \u00A0 between words." - Original Message - From: "John VanHorn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 4:04 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] adding in html enabled text field try without the var reference. set the htmlText property of the text field instead.

This has disadvantage that if the user has javascript disabled, might fail

Re: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
To respond to the recent activity on this thread:
Erik, the core functionality that I need really does need to be
comprehensive and fairly generic: so, given any 3rd party swf which I
don't have a priori knowledge of, determine which object is currently
underneath the mouse. It needs to work for any movieclip or TextField
object. It's proprietary so I can't really disclose why I need it.
You mention that implementing this would be process intensive: this is
ok to start. The way I would like to tackle this problem is to get it
working functionally, and worry about performance later.
Karina, Jason, the approaches you are suggesting of looping through
all the movieclips and calling hitTest() on each one is exactly what
my first approach was (see my first email in this thread). The
problem is that very often multiple movieclips will return
hitTest()==true for a given mouse position (clips at different depths,
clips obscuring others, etc). That's what I meant by "2 conflicting
objects" in my first mail. I'm trying to find an algorithm to resolve
conflicts.
There is another approach which Erik mentioned, which is to
define/override the onRollOver callback for every object that I care
about, and set some variable that keeps track of the last object that
invoked onRollOver. I have tried this before, and I ditched it
because I couldn't find a way to get TextField objects to invoke an
onRollOver callback (or to otherwise respond to a 'roll over' event).
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Vishal

I've been following this thread and am just curious -- everyone seems to be
assuming that looping through all clips and doing hitTest() is inefficient,
but presumably this is exactly what the Flash player is doing with every
mouse move. Is there some good reason to assume the Flash player is doing
this internally much more efficiently than the function exposed through AS
as hitTest()? Without a priori knowledge, I'd recommend trying this, and if
it doesnt turn out to noticeably slow anything, you're done.

Count me among the list, I am color-blind. My preferred method would be something actually not Flash (sorry). I would like there to be standard class names for various parts of code and let the end-user override the stylesheet with user stylesheets. Then even if the default isn't color-blind friendly all of us can change it ourselves. The problem with that is that it needs to be an effective standard and people need to use it.

Well, if you want to send the whole HTML page to Flash to have it syntax highlighted then sent back to html ... then maybe you could do that. IV's tool works by re-write of a DIV layer that is properly named. It just snags the HTML source, parses it and outputs it back. Simple string parsing actually. It's a neat idea, as an experiment, but not for broad acceptance imho. At that point, might as well just use Flash to display the syntax highlighting itself without using any overflow CSS tags for scrolling and stuff.

Re[2]: [Flashcoders] syntax highlighting
Hello Jason, I think a fiels standard of code html-formatting is needed. In this case is it possible to do many tools used one standard. In another case no one parser can't work properly. For create standard and make it popular big members must use and support it. I think it's possible and very simple. For example in our field Adobe declaration of AS code html-formatting standard is enougth for start support this standard by big number of developers.

Re: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
I've been following this thread and am just curious -- everyone seems to be
assuming that looping through all clips and doing hitTest() is inefficient,
but presumably this is exactly what the Flash player is doing with every
mouse move. Is there some good reason to assume the Flash player is doing
this internally much more efficiently than the function exposed through AS
as hitTest()? Without a priori knowledge, I'd recommend trying this, and if
it doesnt turn out to noticeably slow anything, you're done.
On 2/7/07, Karina Steffens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Vishal,
I apologise ahead if I'm being dense here, but nobody seems to have
mentioned the obvious solution:
Looping through the mcs in your third party flash movie and checking for
hit-test with the mouse position.
var hit_array:Array = [];
for (var i:String in target_mc){
var mc:MovieClip = target_mc[i];
if (!mc instanceof MovieClip){
//not a movie clip - ignore
continue;
}
//Check for hit test
if (target_mc[i].hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)
hit_array.push(target_mc);
}
}
At the end of it you have an array of all the movie clips that "scored" a
hit test.
This code is just off the top of my head, an thoroughly untested. Also
Depending on the structure of your flash movie, you will probably want to
delve deeper and test for a hit within each movie clip that you encounter.
It's also not very efficient, especially if you have to do recursion, so I
wouldn't recommend doing it too often. (don't use onMouseMove but rather
an
enterFrame event, an interval or some kind of once-off event - depending
on
your application).
Alternatively, if you already know which objects should be tested, you can
do this more efficiently by hard-coding them manually into an array and
looping within the array to check for a hit test. Not pretty, but should
work.
And finally, something that occurred to me while writing this post, you
could try temporarily switching off the _visible property of the
overlapping
clip just before checking for _droptarget - and then switching it on
again.
This might be the least processor-intensive way of doing this.
Cheers,
Karina

Well it appears this is the shortest way:
var chromaticNames = ['a','aS','b','c','cS','d','dS','e','f','fS','g','gS'];
var loadedSounds:Array = new Array();
for (var oct=1; oct<6; oct++) {

[Flashcoders] Flash 9, XMLSocket.onClose
I am currently building a large-scale Flash application. I had been testing with the v8.something plugin. During beta customers were complaining about crashes and I've finally tracked it down. I'm connecting to a custom message bus using an XMLSocket. When the remote end closes the connection (when we have to restart the message bus, as it's also beta quality) the Flash 8 plugin calls my onClose handler. The flash 9 plugin however brings down the entire browser. Backtraces have a call to EnforceLocalSecurity in common. Has anyone seen this? Does anyone have a workaround or further question to help me track this down? I haven't seen anything in the results of a google query and I have confirmed this behavior in the latest Flash plugin (at least for the Mac). Thanks in advance, I'm a new subscriber but these archives have come in handy several times when they came up in google queries. You guys seem to be the most intelligent group of flash developers in a single spot.

[Flashcoders] syntax highlighting
Hello, Almost every programmer sets his own code highlighting style and gets used to it to the point, that any other highlighting style makes it more difficult for him to read the code. Users of programming-related sites would be pleased to have a possibility to set their own personal code styles. Evidently, setting the right style for every site you read through is annoying. What if you could set the style once and make it somehow propagated to the code listings on every site you visit? Here comes the solution: (for now PC only) - First visit http://www.bezier.ru/ei/. Make and save your highlighting settings there. - Go to http://www.sharedfont.com/ei/ and press the apply button. You should see your setting in effect. The service use no server scripting and can be easily adjusted for any programming language. For this service to launch and spread, it must be appropriately hosted by some well-known project or company domain. I think, this should be interesting for Eclipse, DoxyGen etc. Should you have anything to suggest concerning this project, please drop me a private message. Any thoughts and ideas are highly appreciated. Thank you. -- Ivan Dembicki __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.artlebedev.ru | http://www.sharedfonts.com ___ 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] AS 3 and Sound
WHew! Thanks, this relieves some worry. Now I have to figure out how to dynamically name classes... I could do: var a1 = new a1(); var aSharp1 = new aSharp1(); var b1 = new b1(); ... But would be nice to keep same looping logic I've been using with an array of note names and looking up the sound in the library as noteName + octave.

[Flashcoders] RE: Seeking in a Progressively Downloaded FLV
Jeff, This can be done with some clever server-side code, a properly coded media player and flv's with metadata injected. All the sources you need are here: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player including a php implementation of the server-side script. Read his code for that player and you will learn a lot. If you don't use php you could do something similar in java, coldfusion(saw a script smewhere) or .NET. Or use lightHTTPD as descibed here: http://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2006/03/09/flv-streaming-with-lighttpd For metadata injection there are a couple tools you can use: http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/ Or: http://inlet-media.de/flvtool2 Also, read up on this for more background info: http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2005/11/2/Streaming-flv-video-via-PHP- take-two This should give you a good start.

Re: [Flashcoders] Asteroids sluggishness, optimization?
Hey Martin-Scott. Here is what I found. (I played the game, and it seems like sometimes it doesn't allow user control after the space ship comes on screen). I am programming a game aswell. Safe EArth - more like a supped up version of SpaceInvaders. http://www.nextstepwebpages.com/games/saveEarth.swf So I have been dealing with this stuff fresh. It looks like maybe, and this would my guess, it looks like there is either a problem with the reloading on the either of the ships (player or saucer). But more likely, and I didn't spend too much time checking it out, but it seemed like maybe the hit test on the saucer, triggered the lockup. That might explain why it happens sometimes and not other times. Maybe you have some code being called after that hit test and it wipes or somehow superseeds the controls code. Like I said on my machine it was fine until the suacer appeared, than everything else worked fine, just the ship controls were dead. So check those hit tests, that's what I would do. Hope this helps, check out my SpaceInvaders if you have the time, it is still being worked on.

Re: [Flashcoders] Asteroids sluggishness, optimization?
That really should give perfomance issues on anything. I've found is that lines are alot slower to draw than fills, so much so that it's often a good idea to make fills of your lines when you need that extra boost. But I suspect there's something more fundamentally wrong going on here. Exactly what is a bit hard to say without any code to look at. I do most of my development with the fps set to max (120) and with a framerate counter in the scene, that way I can easily see when I do something that takes a big chunk of performance. Martin Scott Goldberg skrev: Heya guys, writing a repro of Asteroids and was getting an issue with frame rates. The frustrating thing is that on my pc it works flawlessly, as well as a few other people I had play test it. On others though they're saying its chugging or starts chugging when the saucer appears. Its been about 50/50 and is frustrating the hell out of me. Especially when it doesn't seem to matter if its faster cpu systems or not. I've optimized as much as I can, cutting down on loops, having graphics done as runtime bitmap caching when possible, etc. I'm hoping the people here have more suggestions.

Re: [Flashcoders] Seeking in a Progressively Downloaded FLV - Return of
You'll be able to seek to the cue points, yes, but the client will have to actually download that point of the file first. They won't be able to start watching from one of the cue points immediately. The way progressive download works, it starts downloading at the start of the file, and continues linearly until the whole file is downloaded. You can only seek to cue points that have been downloaded.

[Flashcoders] dropdown box implementation
Hi list, could anyone give me some pointers on how you would normally implement the dropdown part in a dropdown box? Would you reshuffle all components to make sure it's on top, or use a custom depth manager to attach the dropdown on the fly to the highest level, or? In addition how would this work in nested loaded movieclips? Thanks in advance, JC ps note that I'm not actually going to, but I'm reviewing a very unsuccesfull implementation which got me thinking... ___ 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

I'll add my name to that list - but does AS3 improve things any?

Hi, I actually don't know how to do it, but i just wanted to say that i think is time for Adobe to improve A LOT everything related to shared fonts. My feature list would be: - Clean, easy, official way to create a swf with one/various fonts. - Being able to load at run-time that swf and easily apply those fonts to any TextField. - Being able to query the swf to get information about the font, embedded glyphs, etc. I actually asked for it in the player 10 whislist, but maybe we could expend some time defining what we need (as Colin Moock did when he was asking for MovieClipLoader) and spreading through blogs and forums so Adobe folks can actually hear it. I'll try to do it myself and post it here. I guess a lot of people might be interested.
