RE: [Flashcoders] Need help problem with sound object

[Smeets, Ben]

I believe this had something to do with the scope of the sound object.

E.g.

If you define _root(_level0) as target of the sound, all object at that
level are controlled if you change parameters. If you want to be able to
specifically control 1 sound object, I believe you had to give it it's
own target (movieclip).

var mc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("Test", 100);
Var o:Sound = new Sound(mc);
...
o.stop();

Good luck,

Ben

Hi,

i have used sound object at level 0 which is controlled by a button to
stop and play.
But when sound through sound object is stoped. The sound of video at
other level also stops. on setting sound object play again the sound
with sound object plays but video sound doesnot. Though on loading other
movie again sound of vieo play perfectly.

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help problem with sound object

[Jiri Heitlager]

When creating a sound object, you should give a movieclip as it parameter
var snd:Sound = new Sound(movieclipReference)

By not assigning a movieclip, you acces the global sound.

RE: [Flashcoders] Mouse event handlers

Top of my head, do the "onDragOver" handlers work while downed?

Subject: [Flashcoders] Mouse event handlers

Hi all,

I have a grid of mc's arranged in a square. When you click on any one of
the mc's the mc changes appearance (ie inactive to active, active to
inactive) - pretty simple.

I am trying to create a group of handlers that detect if the mouse is
held down and "wiped" across the other mc's. If it is, it changes the
"state" of any mc's it rolls over.

Problem is, when the onPress handler is invoked, it seems to ignore any
other handlers (onRollOver/onRollOut). I have tried combinations or
onMouseUp/Down and setting flags, but if I cant get the onRollOver/Out
handlers firing, I cant seem to detect whether the mouse is over the
next mc while the mouse is down.

This is getting frustrating - any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] Mouse event handlers

[Darren Bowers]

They do but not as expected. The onDragOver only triggers when the mouse
starts on the mc then travels off then back on the same mc again. I need to
register something like this:

isMouseDown && onMouseRollOver { toggleMCStatus() }

I can set a flag on the mouseDown event, I just cant read anything that
happens between the mouse entering the new MC and before it leaves.

I remember seeing something years ago that did this, but cant find it
anywhere.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mouse event handlers

[Cedric Muller]

in such case, I opt for
onPress and onRelease
onPress: start onMouseMove listener
onRelease: stop on MouseMove listener
then
onMouseMove = function () {
your code here ... (like hitTest ...)
}
quite abstract, but if you paste some code, I may be able to  
interpret my idea :S


hth,

cant you check for onMouseDown and then while its down, do a  
hitTest on mcs?

[Flashcoders] Flash training suggestions

[Andy Herrman]

Resending as this bounced the first time I tried (so if you already
saw this, sorry!):

I'm looking for some suggestions on Flash training classes.  My Flash
devel knowledge is in a somewhat interesting state in that I know the
basics and some advanced parts of AS2 programming, but don't really
know much at all about using Flash itself (timeline, creating UI
objects in the FLA, etc).

I've found a few training courses that I could go to, but the ones
that look useful to me (the more advanced programming ones) have
prereqs of the simpler classes, where most of the material is stuff I
already know, with just a few things that I don't.

For instance, this class:
http://www.trainsimple.com/courses/advanceddesign.html
has a lot of things I'd like to learn (Tween, extending MovieClip) but
has prereqs requiring both basic AS knowledge which I have and basic
Flash design stuff ("Rich Content Creation), which I don't have.  I
don't know if I'd be able to get the company to have me take more than
one training course in the near term, and for what I'm doing the
advanced class would be much more useful, but I'm not sure if I would
have trouble in it due to not knowing the design stuff.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation and found training that
was helpful without duplicating a lot of what you already knew?  Does
anyone have any suggestions on training courses that would be good, or
even just training companies that people have found to be good?

Thanks!

[Flashcoders] com.gousable.SWF_Protector class

[Gregory N]

Hi all,

I have just released a com.gousable.SWF_Protector class written for one of
latest projects:
http://gousable.com/flash/classes/swf_protector_v1.0.zip

DESCRIPTION:
   Provides several ways to protect SWF files that can be used in any
combination
   1) Good old "checking the _url" protection
   2) Loading external text file (url-encoded) from your server.
Recommended for "smart" clients.
   Remember about crossdomain.xml file !
   3) Expire by time (like trial version)
   4) Bytecode. If you have some good __bytecode__() at hand that will
(as you think) crash decompilers,
   place it in a frame in some clip in library and attach at runtime.
   If the violation is detected, you can
   1) Unload _root leaving the screen blank
   2) Show an alert message telling them ... something
   3) Call your own action after checking the *isViolated* flag
property.

   This "code-only" version is intended for programmers.
   If you prefer, you can use SWC component version
   with UI (free as well) that will be available from Adobe Flash Exchange
since April, 2007.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash training suggestions

[Kevin Bowers]

Hi,

I really don't think you need to worry too much about this.  A someone who
is actually a trainer for these courses I'd say that if you can do very
basic things such as converting items to a symbol, you know a bit about the
timeline, frame labels, etc. you'll be absolutely fine on this course.  The
important thing is that you would need to have some basic action scripting
knowledge.  Have a look at the Flash 8 Actionscript course outline, if you
know that stuff, sign up for the Advanced Design course.

advanced class would be much more useful, but I'm not sure if I would
have trouble in it due to not knowing the design stuff.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation and found training that
was helpful without duplicating a lot of what you already knew?  Does
anyone have any suggestions on training courses that would be good, or
even just training companies that people have found to be good?

Thanks!

RE: [Flashcoders] Need help problem with sound object

[Smeets, Ben]

Try to add that "level0" sound to a specific movieclip instead of
level0. Assigning it to levfel0 is the same as making it global.

[Flashcoders] Currency Formatter

[Martin Klasson]

Hi Flashcoders,

Is there anything out there already perhaps, that simply does convert a 
price (a Number), into a currency-formatted string?


prettyNumber(1.25, "$"...)

well yeah, you know what I am after.. I want it to be able to work in 
many markets,
so there is a need to be able to control whether the currency-symbol 
should be before the price or after,

eventual spacing, decimals/commas and such.

Is there any actionscript-function out there that already deals with 
this in a flexible way?

[Flashcoders] Text as you type

[Adrian Lynch]

I need to mimic the Flash IDE static text tool.

Not the placement of where the text field will go but the way the box
expands when you type, to a limit, and the way it expands down when you hit
return. The user will also be able to change font and font size just to add
to the complexity.

Does anyone have any examples of this in action?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash training suggestions

[Andy Herrman]

Actionscripting knowledge is about all I do have.  I've been working
on a fairly complex Flash application for the past 6 months or so (our
Flash developer quit and it landed on me), so I've picked up a lot of
the programming stuff, but the design stuff like timeline and such I
don't really know much about.

One other thing I forgot to mention is that I'm also looking at
possibly doing FMS training.  However, the FMS application development
training courses all have prereqs of the FMS Video course, but I'm not
doing any Video related stuff with FMS so that course wouldn't really
be relevant, though I'm worried that I might have trouble with the FMS
course if I didn't take it.  Any suggestions there?

Hi,

I really don't think you need to worry too much about this.  A someone who
is actually a trainer for these courses I'd say that if you can do very
basic things such as converting items to a symbol, you know a bit about the
timeline, frame labels, etc. you'll be absolutely fine on this course.  The
important thing is that you would need to have some basic action scripting
knowledge.  Have a look at the Flash 8 Actionscript course outline, if you
know that stuff, sign up for the Advanced Design course.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash training suggestions

Resending as this bounced the first time I tried (so if you already
saw this, sorry!):

I'm looking for some suggestions on Flash training classes.  My Flash
devel knowledge is in a somewhat interesting state in that I know the
basics and some advanced parts of AS2 programming, but don't really
know much at all about using Flash itself (timeline, creating UI
objects in the FLA, etc).

I've found a few training courses that I could go to, but the ones
that look useful to me (the more advanced programming ones) have
prereqs of the simpler classes, where most of the material is stuff I
already know, with just a few things that I don't.

For instance, this class:
http://www.trainsimple.com/courses/advanceddesign.html
has a lot of things I'd like to learn (Tween, extending MovieClip) but
has prereqs requiring both basic AS knowledge which I have and basic
Flash design stuff ("Rich Content Creation), which I don't have.  I
don't know if I'd be able to get the company to have me take more than
one training course in the near term, and for what I'm doing the
advanced class would be much more useful, but I'm not sure if I would
have trouble in it due to not knowing the design stuff.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation and found training that
was helpful without duplicating a lot of what you already knew?  Does
anyone have any suggestions on training courses that would be good, or
even just training companies that people have found to be good?

Subject: [Flashcoders] com.gousable.SWF_Protector class

Hi all,

I have just released a com.gousable.SWF_Protector class written for one of
latest projects:
http://gousable.com/flash/classes/swf_protector_v1.0.zip

DESCRIPTION:
Provides several ways to protect SWF files that can be used in any
combination
1) Good old "checking the _url" protection
2) Loading external text file (url-encoded) from your server.
Recommended for "smart" clients.
Remember about crossdomain.xml file !
3) Expire by time (like trial version)
4) Bytecode. If you have some good __bytecode__() at hand that will
(as you think) crash decompilers,
place it in a frame in some clip in library and attach at runtime.
If the violation is detected, you can
1) Unload _root leaving the screen blank
2) Show an alert message telling them ... something
3) Call your own action after checking the *isViolated* flag
property.

This "code-only" version is intended for programmers.
If you prefer, you can use SWC component version
with UI (free as well) that will be available from Adobe Flash Exchange
since April, 2007.

Tons of information on pushing Flash to mobile devices on Adobe.com,
though you cannot put a .swf on an iPod (except for exporting a Flash
animation to a video file and putting it on a video iPod).  The iPod
operating system is very limited and does not have a Flash player
available for it.

[Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons

[Wendy Marino]

Hello list!

Does anyone know the code to make  -selectable dynamic video buttons- appear
-only- if/when there is an .flv available to be called from in the xml
code??? 

I¹m dealing with 3 to 5 videos that need to be removed and then replaced
daily after rendering in final cut, exported to .flv¹s then put on web.
The prior needs to be taken down, and the new put up when ready.

I don¹t want the button for whichever video to appear unless the video is
there.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank You!

Wendy

you guys should have it show the number of results under each tab.

it looks like you get no results at all when you search for something

or maybe just some indication that there are other results in the

[Flashcoders] stageHeight issues AS3

[{reduxdj}]

I've been having issues with trying to get stageHeight from  every 
sprite.   Getting the

height is a hit or miss thing for me.

var _sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(_sprite)
trace (_sprite.stage.stageHeight)

give me null object reference... even after it's been added to the display.

And also why can't I just access it from any class that extends Sprite
like this:

this.stage.stageHeight or like super.stage.stageHeight;

What's confusing is I am doing this with no problem, but only 
successfully in one place. I
just want every sprite i make to be able to access this property. I 
guess I'm left

creating a global variable.

Thanks,
Patrick

[Flashcoders] Flash and Yahoo map geocode service question

(doesn't seem to care what appid is used)

2 (works): Testing within the Flash 8 IDE, I can use loadVars to call 
that script (with those parameters set) and an XML onload routine to 
retrieve them -- works fine.


3 (doesn't work): When I publish and run it from a swf in an html page 
in the browser, I get an XML read error (the parameter passed to my xml 
onload routine is false).


What could be causing the XML read/parse error in 3?  (doesn't work with

Re: [Flashcoders] stageHeight issues AS3

[Claus Wahlers]

var _sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(_sprite)

give me null object reference... even after it's been added to the display.


Are you sure that the DisplayObjectContainer the above code resides in 
is added to the display list already? And its parents?


Cheers,

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons

[Wendy Marino]

That's a good question I'm not so sure I want to be on it either.

I've watched all the communications, have never asked a question, and the
first time I do I get a rude response from someone who can't even sign their
name correctly speaking about Œetiquette.¹

If there was error unknown to me, Michael sure could use a lot of refinement
in his approach in trying to clarify.

My apologies to the list if my question was not appropriate.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons

[Francis Chary]

Hi Wendy,

It sounds like you're asking a bunch of questions, without realising it. I
would break the problem down something like this:

1. Create a video (non-flash)
2. Convert video to flv (non-code)
3. Upload video to web server (non-flash, maybe non-code)
4. Create xml to describe which videos are available (non-flash, maybe
non-code)
5. Flash application loads xml from server, and parses it
6. Flash application creates buttons for videos, depending on what's in the
xml

On this list, it's probably best to stick with #s 5&6, as 1-4 are really not
topical. So let's assume that you've got your videos already uploaded to
your server, and an xml file describing where they are.

For #5, you'll need to create an XML object in your code. Here's a link to a
tutorial on how to do that:

http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/9/1/XML-101/Page1.html

For the buttons (#6), you'll need to have a button movieclip in your
library. It could be as simple as a movieclip with a shape and a textfield.
In the library, you'll also want to give the button movieclip a linkage Id,
(right-click on the item in the library, select "Linkage").

Once that's done, you can attach the movieclip to the stage in code by using
the attachMovie function. Here's a wee tutorial about that:

http://flash-creations.com/notes/dynamic_attachmovie.php

Basically, what you need to do is to load the xml into an XML object, then
loop through the values in the xml, using attachMovie to drop a new button
on the stage for each video in the xml.  I think that should get you
started.

Hope that helps..

Francis

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash / Flex specific search engine

[Steve Drucker]

Ok, well I suppose that I should clarify some of the concepts behind the
design.

First, typically when I do a general search on Google, it's usually for
something that's syntax related -- essentially, I use Google to search
livedocs. Unfortunately, Google tends to return results for the wrong
version of the product that I'm searching for. Hence, we have restricted the
google search to only return results from the latest version of the docs for
any given product. In this case, it's the Flex 2.01 livedocs.

If the problem that I have is more use-case related, I'd turn to the
developer community -- see what people have blogged about the issue. That's
why there's a "blogs/sites" tab on the search...so you can toggle between
the official livedocs results and the unofficial (although quite useful)
blog results.

In terms of displaying # of results -- we're working on that, but there are
some limitations in the Google AJAX API that are a bit restrictive.

The main difference between this site and google is that we have full
control over the sources of information being searched, so we can "separate
the wheat from the chaff" as it were.

For instance, it ONLY searches livedocs Flash 8 (vs old versions of
livedocs) and it ONLY searches specific blogs which we have found to contain
valuable information. 

The key to this working is COMMUNITY SUPPORT. While we've added about a
dozen url's for it to return results in the blog/site search, we need
EVERYONE'S support to suggest the top sites where they've found useful
information about Flash & Flex. That's why there's a suggest a url function
at the bottom of the page.

you guys should have it show the number of results under each tab.

it looks like you get no results at all when you search for something that's
not in the livedocs, but is under other tabs.

or maybe just some indication that there are other results in the other
tabs?

[Flashcoders] preloader give

[natalia Vikhtinskaya]

Hi
I use simple preloader

function loadNewPart(part){
host._visible=false;
   this.attachMovie("preloader", "preloader", 999, preloaderPos);
   host.loadMovie(part);
this.onEnterFrame=function() {
 var tLoaded, tBytes;
 tLoaded = this.host.getBytesLoaded();
 tBytes = this.host.getBytesTotal();
 if (isNaN(tBytes) || tBytes < 4) {
  return;
 }
  if (tLoaded / tBytes >= 1) {
this.host.stop();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
   this.preloader.removeMovieClip();
   _root.showNewPart();
   } else {
  this.host.stop();
   var percentLoaded = (tLoaded /tBytes);
   this.preloader.preloadBar._width = this.preloader.preloadBarBG._width *
percentLoaded;
  }

   }

}
but tLoaded always = tBytes and preloader bar does not works. Swf loads
without preloadbar just on blank screen. Because  the first check (if
(tLoaded / tBytes >= 1) is always true. How it can be possible? I am trying
to find a reason for some hours and can not. Any idea?

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons

[Jason Rayles]

Wendy,

I think the trick is generating the xml dynamically on the server. There's 
not a good way for flash to know whether a file exists until it tries to 
load the file. Unless you want to update and upload the xml every time you 
update a video, then you'll want a server-side script to create a list of 
the flvs in the folder. And really, the list doesn't have to be xml. If you 
know whether your server is running asp or php or cgis or whatever, then you 
should be able to search the web for a script that will list all of the 
files in a folder.


Once you have that, then you'll just show a button in flash for each entry 
in the list.


Jason

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons

[Jordan L. Chilcott - Interactivity Unlimited]

There are plenty of ways to go about 5 & 6. You could set it up as an
attribute within the XML node where if it sees a "video" attribute in
the attributes property, then pop up a button that will point to your
video (if that's what you're trying to do... or are you trying to pop
up a button that plays a video - either way, the principle is somewhat
the same).

[Flashcoders] New Flash Captioning Component

[Andrew Kirkpatrick]

WGBH has released a new component for captioning video in Flash.  I've
posted some info at:
http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility/2007/03/new_captioning_in_flash_com
pon.html

Their info on it is at:
http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/ccforflash/

They have a sample:
http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/ccforflash/CCPlayerDemo.html
The component is not the UI, it is the internals for parsing either
QuickTime caption data files or DFXP data files.

If you are interested in captioning Flash, you can also use Captionate
(http://buraks.com/captionate/) in conjunction with the captioning skins
that Adobe has made available
(http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility/2006/10/captionskins.html).

An example of the caption skins using Captionate FLV cuepoints:
http://www.kingtut.org/about_the_exhibition (click on "view video
footage" in the right column)

Hope this helps and is of interest!

[Flashcoders] Updating old source

[David Cohn]

Hey all,

I'm trying to update some old, old source FLA files which were last  
updated in Flash MX (the original development preceeded even that),  
and I'm having trouble with some of the files-- i.e. Flash crashes on  
opening them!


The old source is on a Mac 10.2.8 system, and I need to get the files  
editable on Mac 10.4.8.


I've tried:
1. copying the MX files from 10.2 and opening them with Flash 8 on 10.4
	2. installing MX 2004 on 10.2, saving and compacting the files,  
copying and opening them with Flash 8 on 10.4
	3. installing MX 2004 on 10.4, and opening the MX04 source with MX  
2004 on 10.4

4. opening the MX source in MX 2004 on 10.4

In both cases, I updated MX04 to v7.2.
In all cases, the same few files crash Flash (except #4, where the  
files wouldn't open at all).


Anybody run into this, or have any ideas on how I can salvage the  
source?


Thanks,
--Dave

[Flashcoders] class instantiation problem with addEventListener in a class

[Josh Ettwein]

The title may be inaccurate, but I think timing of instantiation is  
what's causing my problem. If anyone can point me to a solution, I'd  
be most appreciative. Here's the scenario:


1) On main stage, there is a moviclip representing the main  
application UI called "main_mc"

2) "main_mc" is bound in the library to a class "FileUploader"
3) Contained within the "main_mc" are some movieclips which are  
instances via linkage in the library of another class, "BaseButton".

4) "BaseButton" contains all the code required for EventDispatcher
5) When tested in a test FLA, with the "BaseButton" instance mc's  
directly on the stage, and addEventListener code written on _root to  
catch the dispatched events from the "BaseButton" mc's, all works  
great. Events broadcast by the buttons are "listened for" as expected  
and all is good.


My issue arises when the "BaseButton" clips are nested INSIDE the  
"main_mc" clip and addEventListeners on the "base_mc"'s  
"FileUploader" class are not catching the dispatched events.


NOTE: If I put the BaseButton clips into the "main_mc" clip via  
attachMovie vs having them manually placed there at compile-time, the  
dispatched events are caught effectively.


What I need to know is... why? I would assume that it's a situation  
where the main class' addEventListeners are being registered before  
the button mc's that they are listening for event from are  
instantiated, but not sure.


And then the big question... if that is in fact what is happening,  
what's the workaround/solution? I really don't want to have to attach  
everything from the library for the entire UI, as it makes for  
difficult layout of the application in the IDE for the designers who  
are creating the UI elements down the road.


Any help anyone can provide would be awesome!

Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] class instantiation problem with addEventListener in a class

[John laPlante]

I've had similar problems with apps that have a bunch of components. 
Assigning a listener in one component to the events of a component that 
has yet to initialize is problematic.


I've considered trying to change the load order from bottom up to top 
down but it isn't practical for me. It might work for you.


The Macromedia components have a method named doLater(somemthod) which 
delays the call to somemethod until all the component parameters have 
been initialized. This seems like a workaround for asynchronous loading. 
Which points to a solution wherein you delay assignment of the listener 
or wait for a signal from the target movie clip.  Both have their 
problems but would probably work.


I'm curious what others have to say about this problem and similar load 
progress problems.

The title may be inaccurate, but I think timing of instantiation is

Re: [Flashcoders] class instantiation problem with addEventListener in a class

Place your addEventListener() calls (and everything that initializes
your BaseButton instances) into FileUploader's onLoad method/event.
It's called when all children are created and initialized thmselves.

[Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file

[Teresa Hardy]

I thought this was really basic and easy but I just can't find the syntax to

based on which button is selected. I don't want to make a new node, just
update the  that exists. The reading part listed below works fine. I
just can't figure out how to write TO a specified child node and all the
documentation has me totally confused. I am starting to wonder if I have to
.removeNode and recreate itI still don't have the syntax.

Thanks in advance. I have been learning a huge amount from listening to all
the conversations here as I teach myself ActionScript!

Re: [Flashcoders] preloader give

Have you tried doing a trace() of both tLoaded and tBytes?  It might
help you figure out what's going on.

Also, why not just do `if(tLoaded >= tBytes)`?  It seems kind of
pointless to do a division there.

Re: [Flashcoders] Updating old source

So, by source, do you mean code, or are there graphics objects as

Hey all,

I'm trying to update some old, old source FLA files which were last

The old source is on a Mac 10.2.8 system, and I need to get the files
editable on Mac 10.4.8.

I've tried:
1. copying the MX files from 10.2 and opening them with Flash 8 on 10.4
2. installing MX 2004 on 10.2, saving and compacting the files,
copying and opening them with Flash 8 on 10.4
3. installing MX 2004 on 10.4, and opening the MX04 source with MX
2004 on 10.4
4. opening the MX source in MX 2004 on 10.4

In both cases, I updated MX04 to v7.2.
In all cases, the same few files crash Flash (except #4, where the
files wouldn't open at all).

Anybody run into this, or have any ideas on how I can salvage the
source?

Re: [Flashcoders] audio sampler and sequencer - possible?

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

   Some people are doing some interesting experiments with AS3 and audio:

   http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tag/audio/

   http://www.flashcodersbrighton.org/wordpress/?p=9

   ...but AFAIK you cannot get hold of the sound buffer from a 
microphone input in Flash.  You can route the Microphone to the PC 
speakers or record the sound directly to a media server such as FMS 
 or Red5 



   I found an interesting application a few months ago that you might 
like http://www.rockstargames.com/beaterator/ but it is a double edged 
sword as this is the only internet application ever to blue-screen my PC 
(I am running XP so I suffered a really annoying reboot).  This is an 
audio synth that looks like it does the sound generation server side - 
again.


   You may not get "nice" sampling capabilities with Flash as is - a 
bit gutting really since Adobe seem to have figured out that we like to 
play with pixels, yet seem to have forgotten audio - surprising since 
they bought Cool Edit, IMHO the nicest software audio program on the block.


   I may be wrong, so if someone knows more then please enlighten us.

   Glen

Hi list,

I'm trying to figure out whether Flash is the right tool for the job. Does
anyone have any thoughts on the following?

For my project, I need a web-based audio sampler and sequencer. It needs to
play custom samples (i.e. not General MIDI sounds). I also need the ability
to create sequences of notes and play them back with decent time accuracy.
Ideally, I would be able to use a standard format such as Soundfont for the
sounds (instead of, say, having to have many individual sound files, one for
each pitch).

Thanks a lot for any pointers you may have!

All you need to do is set the nodeValue rather than access it.

var trial_xml:XML = new XML("This is a
category");
trace(trial_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);
trial_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue = "This is a NEW
category";
trace(trial_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);
trace(trial_xml);
stop();

trace output:

This is a category
This is a NEW category
This is a NEW category

up a button that plays a video)...in a playeror points to it brining it
into player. 

-both methods could work I guess so I'll see which will be best to
implement.

Thanks a lot again!

Re: [Flashcoders] Updating old source

[David Cohn]

Andy,

Sorry if that wasn't specific enough.

By source, I mean .fla files-- replete with all sorts of graphics,  
movieClips, buttons, etc...


Thanks,

From: "Andy Herrman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

So, by source, do you mean code, or are there graphics objects as
well?  If it's just code then why not open them in 10.2 where it works
and then copying the code out to text files?

Re: [Flashcoders] Updating old source

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

If your source's are corrupted and you still have the SWF's you may want 
to look at using a decompiler to rebuild your FLA files.


I like ASV http://www.buraks.com/asv/ and Flash Decompiler 
http://www.flash-decompiler.com/  I know these are Windows only so you 
may want to Google for other stuff or someone else may want to help you 
out here...

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file

This definitely loads the Flash object...I get that part. But it doesn't

A Flash movie cannot write anything to a file, especially if it is
located on a remote server (not mentioning that automatically saving
changes to a file made on an object residing in the memory is totally
pointless). If you want to save your XML, make your changes and send
the whole XML back to a server-side program which can store it to a
file. Or if you are on desktop, look after some third party
projector creators providing file handling capabilities.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file

[Muzak]

That's because Flash can't write any files, only read.
You'll need a server side language to handle that for you (ASP, PHP, 
ColdFusion, etc..) or look into Remoting.

And you probably may wanna join the Flash Newbie (figleaf) or FlashMacromedia 
(yahoogroups) list for this type of questions.

RE: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file

[Rost, Andrew]

Sorry miss understood the question.

You won't be able to write back to the XML file located on the server
directly. You'll have to add a logic layer (ASP, PHP, C#, etc...) that you
can send the new XML data and have that layer update your XML file
(XMLConnector, WebServiceConnector, etc...)

[Flashcoders] Global functions

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

   I am trying to wrap the getURL function in order to track outgoing 
links using Google analytics...


   e.g.

   function getURLTracked(url, window, method) {
   getURL(url, window);
   getURL("javascript:alert('"+ url+"')");
  //getURL("javascript:urchinTracker('/app/" + url +"');");
  
   }


   I would like to create a global function that is available to AS2 
classes and the timeline


   I have tried to write it in an external file and #include this file 
in the constructor of my classes, but still don't get the function in 
scope at compile time.


   Apart from writing a method in my class, which I would have to 
repeat for a few different classes, is there a way of making this 
function available to the timeline and the AS2 classes in one foul swoop?


   I have a core application and lots of loaded SWF's with nasty 
timeline buttons to track...
  
   Thanks


   Glen

Re: [Flashcoders] Calling Captivate variables from Flash.

[Alain Rousseau]

Hi Yuvaraj,

if you load your captivate file inside a Flash Movie with either 
loadMovie or MovieClipLoader, then you can access the variables directly 
through code.
To know wich variables are available to you, you should look into XRay 
http://www.osflash.org/xray, it will list them all

Re: [Flashcoders] Global functions

[Geoff Stearns]

a good way to do this would be to make a static class for your  
tracking stuff.


then you can do things like:

StatsTracker.trackPage(url);

from any class or timeline (assuming you import the class first, etc.  
etc.)


then you can use ExternalInterface to make the js call to your  
tracking function.

then you can do things like:

StatsTracker.trackPage(url);

from any class or timeline (assuming you import the class first, etc. 
etc.)


then you can use ExternalInterface to make the js call to your 
tracking function.

Hey all,

I'm trying to update some old, old source FLA files which were last

The old source is on a Mac 10.2.8 system, and I need to get the files
editable on Mac 10.4.8.

I've tried:
1. copying the MX files from 10.2 and opening them with 
Flash 8 on 10.4
2. installing MX 2004 on 10.2, saving and compacting the 
files,

copying and opening them with Flash 8 on 10.4
3. installing MX 2004 on 10.4, and opening the MX04 source 
with MX

2004 on 10.4
4. opening the MX source in MX 2004 on 10.4

In both cases, I updated MX04 to v7.2.
In all cases, the same few files crash Flash (except #4, where the
files wouldn't open at all).

Anybody run into this, or have any ideas on how I can salvage the
source?

Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic video buttons

[Jordan L. Chilcott]

Seeing as you mentioned ColdFusion (you didn't mention that one  
before :-) ), you can also use Flash Remoting to get the information  
to and from Flash. Where there's a back-end language, there will  
probably be a database involved and in there will probably be a field  
for video records.


As for placing the video, you can play video almost anywhere, so  
putting it in a button is a definitely possibility.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mouse event handlers

[Darren Bowers]

Yeah I had toyed with a similar idea, but dismissed it as a massive waste of
processing power to test every mc for a HitTest every time I trigger an
onMouseMove event. I also tried thinking how i could calculate nearest
neighbour and just test those, and then started looking for simpler
(built-in) ideas.

This is not a requested feature, it is just something i thought would be
cool and there would be a simple way to do it.

interpret my idea :S

[Flashcoders] FLV + Alpha + Audio + Mac = crash

[leolea]

Hi,

I export an FLV that has an alpha channel + audio using Squeeze 4.3 and when
I try to import it in Flash, it crashes as soon as I select it (right before
the video import wizard)

The exact same source exported without audio didn't crash.

Also, I asked someone to import the FLV using a PC and it worked fine. The
crash only happens on my Mac.

Has anyone experienced this and/or has a fix ?

Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] I sorted my Subscription problems

[Eric Woods]

I had similar problems - in my case my password had been reset, so I had to 
click "Email my Password to Me". After I got this, my first step was to 
change the password back to the original one, but this somewhat failed - I 
could log in with my original password, but when I tried to make any 
changes, it asked for my password again, and this time the original password 
failed. Kristal - this my be the problem you had - I tried 3+ times and it 
always failed too. So I used the random reset password and it worked - all 
changes were accepts. So I had to change my password --again-- and this time 
it worked.


So Dave - I think it is primarily a problem at the point when people click 
"Submit My Changes" - the server is re-authenticating the passord, but 
comparing it to the --old-- password. I hope this narrows it down for you.


In the mean time, do this:
1. Go to http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
2. Enter your email address then click on "Email my Password to Me".
3. Login with your email address and the emailed password.
4. Turn on digest mode or disable Mail Delivery. Click "Submit my Changes".
5. If asked, re-enter the the emailed password.
6. Only now should you try to change your password.

Good luck,

Eric

Re: [Flashcoders] [Solved] FLV + Alpha + Audio + Mac = crash

[leolea]

FYI

I found out what was causing the crash. It was the Perian component for
Quicktime. I removed it from the /Library/Quicktime/ folder, and everything
works fine now.

Perian is a QT component that enables Quicktime to read FLVs (and other
formats), but somehow it seems like it conflicts with Flash when importing
FLVs with alpha and audio.

Re: [Flashcoders] Updating old source

[David Cohn]

The source is not corrupted as far as I can tell, since it can be  
opened in MX on 10.2 with no problems.


But would this be a possible (rather round-about) route to converting  
to Flash 8?
Do these decompilers do a good job of reconstituting MovieClips,  
Graphics, etc... as per the original?


Thanks,
--Dave

Hi,

If your source's are corrupted and you still have the SWF's you may  
want

to look at using a decompiler to rebuild your FLA files.

I like ASV http://www.buraks.com/asv/ and Flash Decompiler
http://www.flash-decompiler.com/  I know these are Windows only so you
may want to Google for other stuff or someone else may want to help  
you

out here...

Andy,

Sorry if that wasn't specific enough.

By source, I mean .fla files-- replete with all sorts of graphics,
movieClips, buttons, etc...

Thanks,

From: "Andy Herrman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

So, by source, do you mean code, or are there graphics objects as
well?  If it's just code then why not open them in 10.2 where it  
works

and then copying the code out to text files?

Hey all,

I'm trying to update some old, old source FLA files which were last
updated in Flash MX (the original development preceeded even that),
and I'm having trouble with some of the files-- i.e. Flash  
crashes on

opening them!

The old source is on a Mac 10.2.8 system, and I need to get the  
files

editable on Mac 10.4.8.

I've tried:
1. copying the MX files from 10.2 and opening them with
Flash 8 on 10.4
2. installing MX 2004 on 10.2, saving and compacting the  
files,

copying and opening them with Flash 8 on 10.4
3. installing MX 2004 on 10.4, and opening the MX04 source
with MX
2004 on 10.4
4. opening the MX source in MX 2004 on 10.4

In both cases, I updated MX04 to v7.2.
In all cases, the same few files crash Flash (except #4, where the
files wouldn't open at all).

Anybody run into this, or have any ideas on how I can salvage the
source?

Thanks,
--Dave

Are you sure that the DisplayObjectContainer the above code resides in 
is added to the display list already? And its parents?


Cheers,

[Flashcoders] How to set the hand cursor on the datagrid

[Chris Velevitch]

How do I set the hand cursor when mousing over records in a datagrid (AS2 V2)?

I've tried setting useHandCursor = true, but that didn't work.

How do I do it?
