[Flashcoders] Flash 9 standalone - no fullscreen on Linux
Hello We're developing a kiosk that needs to run on Linux full screen. The gold release of Flash Player 9 does not support this feature on Linux. Is there a workaround for this problem - running the Plugin in a browser that is in full screen mode?

Re: [Flashcoders] limits to AS2 levels of OOP class inheritance?
Hey Steven / Newsdee. Thx.
Newsdee : i tried deleting cache [FlashDevelop] / ASOs [Flash IDE] before
and it didn't help. I don't see how casting can solve the problem, it looks
like the compiler itself is not acknowledging an inheritance connection, and
i am not using any special drive config.
Steven: you guys seem to be doing great work :). I can refactor into
composition but that would probably be my last resort. especially since
these classes extends MovieClip and the movie clips themselves sit on stage
already [to simplify design issues .. lots of mcs on a world map kinda
thing].
heres more info on my code:
i am trying to compile a flash8 project and the compiler seems to break an
inheritance connection between 2 classes.
movieclips are on stage and their library symbols are linked to the Country
class.
this worked but after making a few minor changes to AbstractMarker [added a
method] the compiler suddenly stopped recognizing the inheritance connection
between BoundedMarker and AbstractMarker.
code :
class marker.AbstractMarker extends RadioButton implements Marker {
function AbstractMarker() {
}
// methods
public function testMethodBaseClass() {}
}
import org.as2lib.env.reflect.ReflectUtil; // just so you know ReflectUtil
is from as2lib
class marker.BoundedMarker extends AbstractMarker {
function BoundedMarker() {
super();
trace(ReflectUtil.getTypeNameForInstance(this.__proto__));
// traces BoundedMarker [since
movieclips are based on Country]
trace(ReflectUtil.getTypeNameForInstance(this.__proto__.__proto__));
// traces Object [!! ignores AbstractMarker]
trace(this.test2);
// traces [type Function]
trace(this.testMethodBaseClass);
// traces undefined
// more code of course ...
}
public function test2() {}
}
class marker.Country extends BoundedMarker {
private function Country() {
}
}
and
trace(mc instanceof Country) is true
trace(mc instanceof BoundedMarker) is true
but
trace(mc instanceof AbstractMarker) is false
im using FlashDevelop and MTASC but compiling via the flash8 env as well.
I have actually made some wierd progress last night. What i did is moved
AbstractMarker out of its package. compiling it using MMC [flash ide]. then
compiling it using MTASC [through FlashDevelop], this time it worked. and
then moving it back into the marker package and recompiling with MMC and
then MTASC and it worked.
so i believe the solution is a combination of the following : a compiler /
a bug / flashdevelop / packages / imports.
anyone any ideas ? how do i even start finding the problem ? is this some
kind of flash bug ?
regards and sorry for the long post

did the trick for me - had to duplicate code, ewww).
You could use Composition instead, which reduces the need for normal
class inheritance.

// once the .html is loaded
html_data.onData = function():Void {

Re: [Flashcoders] edit xml in flash
Actually flash cannot do it unless you use some server-side script as PHP(there are many others but PHP is easier and more powerful).

[Flashcoders] MM tween object in a class, tweening prop not working
OK, this works outside the class: myJP=new Object() myJP.n=0; t1 = new Tween(myJP, n, func, oldnum, numTo, duration, true); myJP.n tweens just fine. But if I put it inside a class a cannot tween n , I can tween any property of an MC etc. myJP is instantiated as an object and myJP.n is set to 0 in the constructor - they both exist when the tween is called - which makes me wonder if this is a scoping issue? Anyhow, regardless, how do I fix it?

RE: [Flashcoders] AS2 Question
Where you declare a variable will determine the scope of the variable,
that is, how long that variable stays in memory for use and from where
it can be accessed.
In your first class, the variables declared above the function can be
accessed in other parts of the class.
In your second class the myName variable is a parameter to the function,
and is only available and in memory while in the function. Once
trace(myName) is executed and the function is complete, the myName
variable is gone and can not be accessed by any other part of the class.
In your third class, you have declared the variable within the function.
Similar to your second class, the myName variable will be gone when the
function is finished executing and can not be accessed from elsewhere in
the class.
If you think other functions or parts of the class will need to know
about a variable then its best to declare it outside of the function (as
a coding standard this is usually done above the other functions and
constructor) like you have done in your first example.
Hope that helps!

Hi list i am new to AS2 and in writing classes and there is a question
that
i would like to do:
assume i have the following class
Class myClass {
var myName:String;
var myAge:Number:
var myJob:String;
function setName(name) {
name = myName;
}
}
here i declared the myName variable at the beginning
in this class than:
Class myClass {
function setName(myName:String) {
trace(myName);
}
}
and in this other class:
Class myClass {
function setName(name) {
var myName:String;
name = myName;
}
}
now the question is (even if it maight seen silly but i don't get the
concept yet), what is the difference between declaring the variables
before
methods (after the class declaration) and declaring them inside the
method
itself, or even in the method parameters???
Thanks in advance

RE: [Flashcoders] onLoadComplete, but no onLoadInit
Hi Michael,
I address the problem of testing cache-busting code in the IDE in my blog:
http://blog.neo-archaic.net/2006/08/02/nocache-for-javascript-and-flash.htm
Basically, what you need to do is check for System.capabilites.playerType
before adding the cache-buster to the url.
var loader:MovieClipLoader;
var viewLoader:MovieClip;
var url:String = images/catalogue/collection/cat1.jpg;
if (System.capabilities.playerType == PlugIn
|| System.capabilities.playerType == ActiveX){
url+=?nocache=+new Date().getTime();
}
loader.loadClip (url, viewLoader);
This, of course, won't prevent the other problem you mentioned, large files
downloading multiple times, but it can be quite handy for often-updated
content.

seems that MovieClipLoader events do not fire correctly
when content
is loaded from cache. if this is your problem, would appended a
cache-killing query string to the url work? something like:
mcl.loadclip(someswf.swf?d= + new Date().valueOf(),
targetMc
);
Apparently this is a problem, as well as onLoadInit not
working correctly all the time when publishing using the
Flash 9 alpha. (And in that case, it fails sporadically in
Firefox and the IDE as well.)
Cache-busting is not a great solution, since 1) it makes it
impossible to test anything anywhere except from a server,
and 2) it could cause some large-ish files to download
multiple times. I think I'll just have to come up with a
customized solution and, in general, learn not to rely on onLoadInit.
Suck.

Re: [Flashcoders] What do you think are the best Flash projects and RIA's
I do not know if this is the best but if you are looking for a real application in Flash... We built a database and search engine in Flash to provide Personal Protective Equipment information for First Responders. The database included pictures, technical specifications, administrative information and where and why used information on all of the PPE used by fire, police, abulance, paramedics, public works, hospital dispatch and public security in a lage city. It included a search function that allows the first responder to find out information such as: What do the police wear on the heads when responding to a riot? What do the different first responders carry as antidotes in case of a building collapse? What respirators will firemen have when working on a marine emergency. Print me a report of all of the headgear that paramedics use, with or without photos. It is designed to be carried in the emergency vehicles and has no server component. The database is an XML file which is automatically constructed from a spreadsheet maintained by the user. It fits on a CD and runs when the CD is loaded. It also includes a training course on how to use the Search engine which is built using our training delivery system which is another real application that has been used in many other courses. We used Flash since we had built a lot of expertise and tools in previous projects, it handles images nicely, the player/projector has a small footprint, it will run on and portable PC or in-vehicle computer, it was easy to make the user interface attractive. We did this about 3 years ago and the technology is even better and more robust today. Enrique Chávez wrote: ==SelfPromotion== :P http://desktoptwo.com/ Is a webtop Full-Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with cascading functions within a class
So, the problem with your initial code is that the scope of the
function (what `this` refers to) is not your class, but instead is the
scope of the object it's being called on.
So, essentially your code is trying to call `html_data.doSomething()`,
which doesn't exist. You really want it to be using the scope you
have when you created the callback.
Delegate solves this. The first argument to Delegate is the scope you
want the function to run with (usually `this`). The second argument
is the function to run. In this case Delegate takes care of scope
issue, so that when you call `doSomething()` it's being called with
the correct scope.
The other way to do it (though I prefer Delegate) is this:
public function grabHTML():Void {
// loads the .html
var html_data:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
html_data.doSomethingScope = this;
// once the .html is loaded…
html_data.onData = function():Void {
// …run doSomething()
this.doSomethingScope.doSomething();
};
html_data.load(http://somesite.ca/some.html;);
};
In this case you're storing the scope you want it to run as in the
html_data object, so when the callback (onData) is called you can
access the correct scope. Delegate just removes the need for doing
this.
Note that unlike the code above, Delegate will also cause the
`doSomething` method to be passed the same arguments as are passed to
`onData`.
-Andy
// does something after the .html has been loaded
public function doSomething():Void {
trace(doing something);
};

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 to AS3 migration issues?
Just wondering if anyone else had this problem. I decided to migrate by asteroids code to AS3, and found most of the commands I used were either completely removed or redefined. It looks like I'm going to have to rewrite the entire program rather thans simply change a few things. Really, really dissheartening. I like to believe that's frustrating but necessary. AS1/AS2 had come a long way, and it was time for a slight syntax overhaul on the original API. For example, what's up with having objects created by special commands instead of constructors (for example, createEmptyMovieClip), methods that didn't even follow a naming convention (for example, createEmptyMovieClip vs attachMovie), no clear naming convention either on properties (_stuff versus stuff) and little 'gotchas' on the case of a few properties (_currentframe, maxscroll)? Hence why having .addChild, .removeChild, and renaming many other things like that make a lot of sense. There's the initial bump, but after that I'm confident the language will look better as a whole instead of just being a patch on the previous version.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS2 to AS3 migration issues?
AS3 is a totally different world. Well, not totally, but you are targeting a different VM. Lots of articles on Adobe.com on migrating to AS3. It's worth learning and transitioning to. To say it's disheartening to find out technology changes and things are not compatible, is, no disrespect, to not understand the nature and history of technology. Adobe did a great thing by completely overhauling Actionscript. AS3 in FP9 is so fricking fast. Check out this Flex app which is an attempt to recreate Photoshop on a web page - the performance is amazing and would have been difficult to acheive with AS 1 or 2. http://blog.flashgen.com/2006/12/20/fauxto-nice-flex-photoshop-online-ed itor/ Sometimes you have to sacrifice backwards compatibilty for product fidelity. AS changes in 3.0, totally worth it for the few it will tick off.

[Flashcoders] OnRollOver Scrolling Text Problem
Hey list this is my first problem i am posting here, i hope someone could
halp me!!!
i got a movie clip with inside four Key Frames... in each Key Frame i got a
mask called 'mask' (a rectangle) and a masked MC called 'list'.
than in the first layer of each keyframe (which i reserved it for
actionScript only) i put the following code:
maskY = mask._y;
maskY2 = maskY+mask._height
maskX = mask._x;
maskX2 = maskX + mask._width;
var ratio = Math.round(list._height / mask._height);
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (_ymousemaskY2 _ymousemaskY) {
list._y = (mask._ymouse-(mask._ymouse*2))*ratio+maskY;
}
};
it works. But it seems that the 'list' MC overscrolls as it slides up more
than it should do.
can someone help me please in resolving this ???

Re: [Flashcoders] AGAIN!! AS2 Question
Hi Omar,
i think the best thing todo is to pick up a book, or even two (or websites
for that matter):
one about general object oriented concepts and one about general programming
concepts.
Your questions in particular deal with the concepts of local vs instance vs
global vs method parameters and information hiding.
Google for them and do some reading, thats the easiest way to understand the
differences.

[Flashcoders] Prevent Reading Cached xml Doc?
When loading an xml doc into an XML object, how can I prevent Flash from using a cached version of the xml doc?

concept yet), what is the difference between declaring the variables before
methods (after the class declaration) and declaring them inside the method
itself, or even in the method parameters???
In short, declaring them on the class creates a class property, one that
lives on. Declaring it inside a method creates a temporary variable that
is lost once the method/function is over. 'Declaring' it on the
parameter is the same.
Be careful though:
function setName(name) {
var myName:String;
name = myName;
}
I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, but this method does nothing
at all. It receives a parameter, creates an empty/undefined String, and
assigns this empty string to the variable that has received the
parameter, overwriting the parameter value. I'm not sure what you're
trying to do, but you're probably not understanding how the scope chain
works inside actionscript, that names are merely links to a variable,
and that they aren't global. You could have several variables or
proprties of the same name accessible from the same scope.

Re: [Flashcoders] AGAIN!! AS2 Question
well i am not trying to do anything it was just an example showing you
different declarations types. anyway i got the concept
Thanks so much
On 2/15/07, Paul Andrews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
A Class is a template for information (variables, etc) and instructions
(methods/functions) for handling that information.
When the class is initiated as an object (e.g. var myObject:MyClass - the
convention is that Classes start with a capital, objects start in
lowercase),
the object includes the variables declared within the class:
Class myClass {
var myName:String;
var myAge:Number:
var myJob:String;
So now I can refer to myObject.myName.
When I call a method of the class, I may wish to pass information to the
class, in which case I pass named variables:
myObject.setName(Paul);
function setName(myName:String) {
trace(myName);
}
In this case the variable myName passsed as a parameter is only
accessible
to the code of the function and not elsewhere.
Finally, I can declare a variable for use inside the method/function, but
nowhere else:
Class myClass {
function setName(name:String) {
var myName:String;
This variable is different to the one that is accessible to all of the
class
and is used to create variables purely for use within the function.
That's a tiny explanation - hope it helps a bit.

Re: [Flashcoders] OnRollOver Scrolling Text Problem
If you place your contents of the movieclip so that everything is
registered with the top left corner to 0,0 of the clip the following
should work:
var maxMouseY:Number = mask._height;
var maxListY:Number = maxMouseY - list._height;
onEnterFrame = function ():Void {
if ((_ymouse maxMouseY) (_ymouse 0)) {
list._y = maxListY * (mask._ymouse/maxMouseY);
}
};
Basically, I'm getting the mouse coords as a range from 0 to 1
(mask._ymouse/maxMouseY) where the _ymouse is located within the mask
clip. 0 being the top most pixel and 1 being the bottom most.
Once I have that I multiply it by the maximum movement (maxListY) the
list is allowed to move to get the scroll postion. The maximum amount
the list is able to move is 0 for starting position and a negative
number if it's scrolled up. The lowest negative number allowed is
figured by taking the mask height and subtracting the height of the list
(mask._height - list._height).

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem with cascading functions within a class
Incidentally, in AS3 all functions preserve their scope, so Delegate
is no longer needed. (Yay!) But, in the meantime, Delegate is the best
solution to the problem of associating a function call with a scope.
Also worth mentioning is that since static functions have no scope,
you don't need to use Delegate with them.
class MyClass {
public function MyClass() {
var nameData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
nameData.onData = sayHelloTo;
nameData.load(filename.txt);
}
public static function sayHelloTo(name:String):Void {
trace(Hello, + name + !);
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Evaluate string as actionscript?
As far as I know, you can't do this. The Flash player is basically a virtual machine (runs compiled code); it does not have a compiler, so it can't take text-code and turn it into compiled code. One possibility is breaking up that string, dummy, in to _root.aaa, text and abc.

Basically, I'm getting the mouse coords as a range from 0 to 1
(mask._ymouse/maxMouseY) where the _ymouse is located within the mask
clip. 0 being the top most pixel and 1 being the bottom most.
Once I have that I multiply it by the maximum movement (maxListY) the
list is allowed to move to get the scroll postion. The maximum amount
the list is able to move is 0 for starting position and a negative
number if it's scrolled up. The lowest negative number allowed is
figured by taking the mask height and subtracting the height of the list
(mask._height - list._height).

it works. But it seems that the 'list' MC overscrolls as it slides up

[Flashcoders] for...in property access replacement in AS3?
Hi, I'm converting some AS2 code to AS3. The code manipulates several big, complicated data containers to produce an animation. In AS2, the data container was a vanilla object. In AS3, for performance gains, I turned these containers into several classes. The problem is, at various points, I am transferring all the values from one container to another. The variables have the same names, but the data containers are different. For instance, in the first container, there are points. In the second container,the corresponding points are actually a subclass of points, one with more properties. Before, I could just lay the two containers side by side, then use recursive for...in loops to transfer all the values. But for...in loops don't work for class instances in AS3. Class info is baked into the compiled class, and no longer stored in a memory- and cycle- wasting object hash. What to do? Anyway I can access the compiled class info (looping through a class's properties), or is that contra the entire point of AS3? Save me from writing a long, convoluted one-off conversion function.
