[Flashcoders] Rearrange Fields between DataSet and DataGrid
I have a WebServiceConnector, a DataSet and a DataGrid. I wish to display in the DataGrid only some of the fields that are read in by the WebServiceConnector, and I want the names displayed at the top of the columns to be different from the names used internally within the data. I have just discovered the Rearrange Fields formatter, and ostensibly it seems to be just what I need, applied on the binding into the DataGrid. Unfortunately I can't get it to work. I can successfully bind WebServiceConnector.results--DataGrid.dataProvider using a Rearrange Fields formatter. I can successfully bind WebServiceConnector.results--DataSet.dataProvider--DataGrid.dataProvider without a formatter. However, when I try to apply a Rearrange Fields formatter to the binding between the DataSet.dataProvider and DataGrid.dataProvider, the fields of the DataGrid are blank; the column names do appear, but they are the original names, not the new ones specified by the formatter. (I have added to the schema of the DataSet the variables that are received from the WebServiceConnector). I am aware that there are other techniques available to achieve what I want; my aim is to try to understand the component architecture and what it is capable of. I am hoping to accomplish this just by using the the tabs on the Component Inspector, without resort to ActionScript. So what is the situation? 1. I am mistaken in expecting Rearrange Fields to work beween DataSet.dataProvider and DataGrid.dataProvider at all 2. It does work, but I haven't understood how to implement it properly. 3. It ought to work but it doesn't because of a defect in the components. Can anyone help?

[Flashcoders] Fwd: use of Flash IDE (or: workflow)
(sending again, because I guess that message was lost) hello list, I would like to ask you how much do you work with Flash IDE? How much do the designers you work with can work with it, and how much can you use this work? For example, I can imagine two scenarios, and some others between them: 1) Almost no use. Designers just put assets on .fla/.swf files, that are loaded dynamically. All animations and transitions are done by code. ActionScript is compiled with MTASC; 2) Strong use. Designers do a lot of animations on .fla/.swf files; forms are done with components put on the stage by them, for example. My concern actually is how to otimize the workflow between designers and AS developers. And what kind of training can developers have to otimize this. thank you, andrei ___ 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

[Flashcoders] flash games network
I suggest to every developer of games or other things which are use to be posted on other sites to create their networks. 1. Create a directory on your domain to be used to load files into games - mydomain.com/mynetwork/ 2. Make so each game load different file into it like - mygame.swf loadmovie mydomain.com/mynetwork/fileformygame.swf 3. Create a things to load into games then make each fileformygame.swf load it into it. For example: http://gamebalance.com/games/orboxb.html 4. this can be used for lotta good things - traffic exchange, load commercial ads,notify about updates or new games releases etc. You can load some same stuff into games similar as banner in my games + load anyother things that fit current game. 5. I m looking for help to develope this and connect to other networks. P.S. I think up this myself BTW.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash chat and Smiley
Hi
You could replace the smiley text by an image by using the img tag (only
working with htmltext)
Example:
var sTxt:String = 'HelloWorld :-) !!!';
sTxt = sTxt.split(':-)').join('img src=yoursmileyimagepath.jpg/')
trace('sTxt '+sTxt)

[Flashcoders] Collision detection NOT using hitTest()
Hey gang,
I have a map movie that needs to test whether two near objects will overlap
one another BEFORE I actually instantiate and draw the movie clip, so I need
a good object collision test that does not use hitTest(). I have a set of x
and y and size properties for each object that I use to place them when
they're created, but what I want to do is if the objects will overlap at any
point, merge them into a single object.
Here's an example of what I need to catch:
Point A Los Angeles (x: 150, y: 99, size: 8 pixels)
Point B: San Diego (x: 153, y: 103, size: 8 pixels)
When drawn, the LA dot and San Diego dot will overlap a little and therefore
cause a problem rendering pop-up content, so I want to merge them. What I
need is a reliable check to see if that happens. Right now I'm using:
var uLeftX:Number = cityA._x - 2;
var lRightX:Number = (cityA._x + _size) +2;
var uLefttY:Number = cityA._y - 2;
var lRightY:Number = (cityA._y + _size) +2;
if (mapObjects.length 1) {
for (var mo:Number = 0; mo mapObjects.length; mo++) {
// GET VISIBLE AREA OF CURRENT MAP OBJECT
var tmpULeftX:Number = parseInt(mapObjects[mo]._x) - 2;
var tmplRightX:Number = (parseInt(mapObjects[mo]._x) + _dotSize) +2;
var tmpuLeftY:Number = parseInt(mapObjects[mo]._y) - 2;
var tmplRightY:Number = (parseInt(mapObjects[mo]._y) + _dotSize) +2;
if ((uLeftX tmpULeftX uLeftX tmplRightX) (uLefttY
tmpuLeftY uLefttY tmplRightY)) {
trace(Dot collision occures between + cityA.cityName + and
+ mapObjects[mo].cityName);
}
} // END for
} // END if
The above script DOES detect collisions, but not between the LA and San
Deigo properties listed above. Can anyone see a flaw in the line that tests
the overlap?

[Flashcoders] MOUSE_DOWN CLICK are not firing on the first mouse click (Flash 9)
*I Dont need help I was writing this and I figured it out so I'm posting it so that other people don't run into the same issue * The error was caused because I had a bunch of text on the stage evidently causing some sort of memory issue probably due to anti-aliasing or something .. though flash 8 could have handled it fine. This caused mouse events not to be triggered when they should have been. The flash 9 developers are probably still working out the kinks. Original writing : This one is puzzling me. There seems to be some trouble with the either the event model or something I can't explain. So theres a button and you click on it. Except the first time you click on it it doesn't register the event (the event listener is set in a superclass via a method call). The method is called in the child classes constructor. So it should be listening for t so if you wait a second or two and don't move the mouse the click then registers. If you move the mouse around a bit the click also registers.

[Flashcoders] AS 3.0 - Typecast a new Obj instantiated from a library linked class to a 'displayObject'
Hello, So I have a movieClip in the library that is set to Export as a class with the Auto Create Class feature, with the name rotate_sphere. rotate_sphere basically contains a .png that I would like to copy as bitmapData to a new bitmap Object so that I can take advantage of the smoothing parameter on 'New Bitmap(bitmapData,snapping,SMOOTHING)'. Because this object needs to scale and I would like to keep it looking smooth with keeping the edges anti aliased. I am getting a Type Coercion error which reads: cannot convert rotate_sphere$ to flash.display.DisplayObject when I am trying to get the bitmapData. I figured that any class instantiated from the library at least extends type DisplayObject since whenever I instantiate a class from the library I can add it as a child, which requires the obj at least extend DisplayObject. Im not sure if Im even going about this right way.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash chat and Smiley
Inline images were mentioned, and that's probably the best idea, but these can have weird behavior sometimes. Another option would be to find an emoticon font and use that on special characters, e.g., 'font face=smileyFontx/font'. (Be sure the font is embedded in a TextField somewhere.) The only problem with this approach (besides finding such a font) is that the emoticons would have to be monochrome.

[Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time
Hi, I'm at my wits end on this and I don't know where to turn for help. Numerous Google searches have turned up little in the way of anyone encountering a similar issue. I have an interface shell swf that handles the selection, loading and display of various external game swfs within it. All are loaded via a MovieClipLoader object and all of them have _lockroot set to true. One particular game behaves fine when loaded the first time into the shell. But loaded a 2nd time, I get the following 256 levels of recursion error message... 256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list. This is probably an infinite loop. Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie. The error occurs while the external swf is attaching a movieclip from its library... t = _root.attachMovie(title, title, 1000); I thought perhaps that it just might be a timing issue, since loading the swf a second time is virtually instantaneous, even though I wait until the MovieClipLoader's listener object receives the onLoadInit call before allowing the loaded swf to continue. So I created several delays in the swf, via timeouts and also by extending the main timeline. Doing so actually seemed to fix the problem. The title screen was created and the start button on it was functional. Subsequently starting the game created the first puzzle and all seemed good until one of the objects in the first puzzle was clicked on... then the same recursion error. I'm at my wits end. To recap: The game functions perfectly the first time it is loaded. However, after unloading the swf and reloading it again, the same swf seems to be unstable. Has anyone seen similar behavior before when using externally loaded swfs? Or do you have any ideas as to what to look for in the code? Thanks very much.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS 3.0 - Typecast a new Obj instantiated from a library linked class to a 'displayObject'
Hi Dave, I'm not sure you need to be accessing your bitmap via a movieClip. I'm doing something similar but I use the bitmap directly from the library. I se the bitmap up an auto generated class using 'Linkage' i.e. 'myBitmap' then if I need the bitmapData in yourscript simply say: var myBitmapData:myBitmap = new myBitmap(); var myBitmapInstance:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData, auto, true); this.addChild(myBitmapInstance); No need for a movieClip. I'm going to guess that when you use the movieClip you are accessing the bitmap as a child of that movieClip and trying to extract the bitmapData from that. I tried a similar approach and it did not work. Seems that bitmaps assigned in authoring mode return a type of Shape and not Bitmap when you try to access them. I'm guessing this is a bug in the alpha version. hth, Rob On Fri, 23 Feb 2007 13:12:55 -0500, Dave Geurts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, So I have a movieClip in the library that is set to Export as a class with the Auto Create Class feature, with the name rotate_sphere. rotate_sphere basically contains a .png that I would like to copy as bitmapData to a new bitmap Object so that I can take advantage of the smoothing parameter on 'New Bitmap(bitmapData,snapping,SMOOTHING)'.

Re: [Flashcoders] Passing a Function as Parameter and callfunctionlater
Hmm, I didn't know about that scope chaining stuff, thanks for the link.
One question, does the chaining (specifically, the activation object
stuff when using inner functions) still apply to AS2 code? I use
functions like that for listeners in a *lot* of places, and now I'm
worried it's wasting a lot of memory.

Not sure you can get around the eval or Delegate unless you add a ton of

So eval or moreEvil? That is the question...
function runMe ()
{
trace( this + ' run me' )

_global.moreEvil = function( str:String ):Function

var array = str.split ( . ) ;

var len = array.length;

callfunctionlater
Thank you all guys! Great job.
But I still have something to ask, silly or not. One thing eval does for me
and I don't know if I'm right or wrong, is when I use it (despite I know
it's not the better solution), it let's me leave my function like this:
_anywhere.rew(mcToRewind, whenDoneRewindingNewAction);
^ path.MC ^ same path of mcToRewind
Why this is matter to me? Because I don't have to treat the scope as a
parameter and I can keep my function easy to use for any newbie/flash
designer (that is really important to me). So nobody doesn't have to think
about scope stuff and anybody can use it as was using a very common
function. Which using your code they have to think about scope, putting all
the path as a different parameter.
In Jesse's third example we could just drop the scope parameter. However,
it's always treating the scope from where the function is. While this is
perfectly right and understandable for me I think a newbie would spend I
time to understand what's going on.
If I've been nagging to much or the real stupid one, we can just drop the
subject, and stick to your solutions. = P

You can combine the first two lines (and simplify the second) to just:
anyOtherObj.func = mx.utils.Delegate.create(_root, nextFrame);
No need for the inline function.

[Flashcoders] XPathAPI recursive XML search
Hi.. I am working on a project currently and I'm using Macromedia's XPathAPI. However, I need to recursively search one of my XML files which is 4 or 5 levels deep. The search I want to perform should return all nodes with a specified name, no matter where they are in the hierarchy. Can anyone suggest/point me to a solution? I don't want to use xfactorstudio's API due to its size. I am thinking of extending XPathAPI.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time
So I uploaded the same files (with the random query string attached to the filename for loading) to a server and tried it remotely, and the swfs were loaded, and reloaded again -- it did not appear to have fetched it from cache the second time. However, the same problem persists: recursion error. It seems so illogical. And so frustrating. On 2/23/07, Jay Bibby [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks, Mike for the reply.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem when loading swf a second time
Thanks Hans, _root._name is exactly what I expect in both circumstances. However, yes, the shell uses a GameManager, and a LoadManager, both of which are singletons. Funny thing is, this is my 2nd time around with this shell. I had previously created one for 21 games that worked flawlessly. Now I get a game that breaks the system and I don't know what to try next.

[Flashcoders] Internet Explorer and CTRL keyboard trapping
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about how to get this to
work in IE 6 or 7 (Windows XP or Vista; Flash Player 9):
var listener = {};
listener.onKeyDown = function()
{
var lastKey = Key.getCode();
if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) lastKey == 65) //65 == A
{
_root.createTextField(foo, 5, 5, 5, 70, 50);
_root.foo.text = Control-A pressed;
}
}
Key.addListener(listener);
...Works just fine in Firefox. I've noticed that a lot of hotkeys are
trapped by default in IE... is there some secret parameter I can pass to
the embed object, or am I missing something really basic? Why does IE
suck so much?
Also, this doesn't seem to work when you test it inside the standalone
flash player. I tried Control - Disable Keyboard Shortcuts already.
Thanks...
-=matt

[Flashcoders] Help - Are keyboard shortcuts possible for MenuBarcomponent?
Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with the MenuBar component in Flash.
Using Flash 8 Pro. I've set up a MenuBar as scripted below using XML as
the source. The menu works fine apart from the fact that I cannot Tab
to it as I can other items in my system. I've removed Flash's built in
focusManager as one has been written for this project.
The following line adds the menubar to the custom focus management
object in the same way as the other things in the system but it just
doesn't want to be tabbed to. Any ideas why this might be?
root.FocusManagementObj.registerScreenElement(xmlMenuBar,Program Menu
Bar);
As I can't tab to it, is it possible to set up keyboard shortcuts to the
menu in a similar way to the usual Alt-F for the File item on most
software menus?
Regards,
Gareth.

// Test code so far

[Flashcoders] [AS3] Timers behaving erratically
I have a class that I instantiate. At some point in the running of my application, I destroy almost every display list object (to disable the application). Later, the user can enable the application, and I recreate all classes. The second time this class is instantiated, the timers don't fire. Any reason why this is happening?

Actually, nowhere in the application they aren't firing.
Here's the code that disables the application:
public static function disable(message:String):void {
with (_instance) {
var snapshot:Bitmap = takeSnapshot();
destroyForm();
_container.addChildAt(snapshot, 0);
_container.addChildAt(drawCurtains(), 1);
_container.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
mouseClickHandler);
showAlert(message);
_container.stage.invalidate();
_enabled = false;
}
}
private function destroyForm():void {
_container.removeChild(_container.getChildByName(form));
_form = null;
}
