Re: [Flashcoders] is flash still alive?
It's strange that they would think that Flash is for fast computers and high bandwidth as the Flash player's ubiquety is due in no small way to the fact that it is very well optimised for speed and size to allow it to run on most machines. Of course I have no idea what you're running it on in the Philippines so maybe that's a factor w: www.flashcoder.net/blog It sucks though that in a place like the Philippines (where I am), people aren't into this technology so much yet. They almost always think that Flash is for fast computers and high bandwidth. Most likely, even if a team feels they are quite skilled, their skills are not tested or pushed to the limit. To answer your questions, yes it's quite active. Even here, there is some advancement, however small, in embracing the technology, thanks to site like YouTube. -- Ramon Miguel M.

RE: [Flashcoders] I have small doubt
Hi! If I understand correctly, you want to edit (physically) a xml file on a client's pc right? This is not possible without extra server side efforts. You can load an xml file without problems and transform that any way you like ver easily. But when you want to store/save that new xml file somewhere where others can access it, you need some sort of server side script, which will do the actual saving for you.

RE: [Flashcoders] Accessing an Associative Array
Actually you have an Object not an Array when you define your variable :
var myarray = { text:Lorem ipsum };
is the same as
var myarray:Object = new Object();
myarray.text = Lorem ipsum;
but with Actionscript you can access objects with the array notaion []
var i:Number = 1;
var myMC:String = movieClip+i;
this[myMC]._x = 26;
myarray[text] = Lorem Ipsum;
instead of
this.movieClip1._x = 26;
myarray.text = Lorem Ipsum;
If you really want an associative array, look at Jason's answer
Otherwise keep on using the Object notation, but you will lack all the Array
object specific methods

RE: [Flashcoders] Accessing an Associative Array
Right -
myArray[hello] = hi
is the same as:
myArray.hello = hi
Depends on your coding preferences. Personally, I prefer Alain's
suggestion of object dot-notation syntax:
myArray.hello
if the array's name is variable, then:
this[myArray].hello

Sorry, no way - it's a security thing - you have to use server-side scripts to edit server-side files.

Re: [Flashcoders] asunit and a class that loads XML
hi jack.
thank you for sending your parser class along. it looks extremely useful but
it's not exactly what i'm looking for. what i need is some way of unit
testing the loading of a class that handles XML. i could make this part of
my functional test plan but my objective is to find out if i can unit test
it.
my constructor takes a string that is the location of an XML file. i want to
create a unit test case that will evaluate if a file location can be loaded
in. how do i create a handler for when the XML has completely loaded without
that handler being invoked as soon as the test is run?
thanks. -- matt.

hi.
i have a question on using asunit to test a class that loads XML.
i have a class that accepts a string in its constructor and i want to test
if it'll accept not just an http://myFileLocation.xml but also a file
location such as /data/config.xml.
my question is how can i write my test with a handler for when the xml is
finished loading?
this is what i have right now:
class com.testsource.util.ConfigParserTest extends
com.asunit.framework.TestCase {
private var className:String = com.testsource.util.ConfigParserTest;
private var configParser:ConfigParser;
public function setUp():Void {
trace(setUp: + setUp());
configParser = new ConfigParser(data/config.xml);
configParser.addEventListener(loadSuccess,
Delegate.create(this,testLoadFileLocation));
}
public function tearDown():Void {
trace(tearDown());
delete configParser;
}
public function testLoadFileLocation():Void{
var size:Number = configParser.getLayerSetSize(); // this should return
the number 2.
trace(size: + size);
assertEquals(example test, size, 2);
}
}
the problem here is that my test is run and testLoadFileLocation() is run
before my XML successfully loads. and by the time it does load, the
'configParser object has been deleted by the tearDown() method.
so my traces come out looking like this:
setUp()
size: 0
tearDown()
size: undefined
any tips are greatly appreciated.
thanks. -- matt.

Re: [Flashcoders] I have small doubt
If you're using CFM, just do a standard POST to a CFM script that updates the XML. It's more of an issue of how you can do this in Cold Fusion (which this list is probably not the best place to get help). If you create a form that has this functionality you need then flash will be able to post data to this form the same way a standard HTML page will post data.

Re: [Flashcoders] asunit and a class that loads XML
I'm not familiar with asunit, but I assume it's based on JUnit? I
created an AS2 package for doing unit tests and in mine I extended
Test, TestCase, and TestSuite to produce AsyncTest, AsyncTestCase, and
AsyncTestSuite, respectively. These classes complete test runs on
asynchronous events rather than at the end of a function call. In the
test cases there are functions called onRunComplete and onRunError
which can be made to listen for certain events, or can be called by
event handler functions.

[Flashcoders] Question About MovieClips in Moock's AS Definitive Guide
Hi all,
In his book he states:
References to objects are pointers; reference-tracking and
garbage-collection protect the user from dangling pointers and memory
leakage. References to movie clips, however, are soft references -- the
reference actually contains an absolute target path. If you have a movie
clip named foo, and the set x = foo (which makes x a reference to clip
foo), and then delete foo using removeMovieClip(), and then create another
clip named foo, the reference x will again be valid (it will point to the
new foo clip).
My example is slightly different and the reference is not being
reestablished.
I have a class that takes a movie clip as a parameter. (var myClassObject
= new myClass(this);) In this movie clip from frames 1 to 5 I have the
movie clip instance clip1. And on frames 6 to 10 I have other assets.
(clip1 does not reside on frames 6 to 10) The main movie clip can toggle
back and forth between these sets of frames.
Inside the myClass constructor it assigns clip1 to other classes.
function myClass(mc:MovieClip) {
mc_clip1 = new subClass(mc.clip1);
}
Now, if the playhead moves to frames 6 to 10 and then back to frames 1 to
5, why is the reference to clip1 in mc_clip1 undefined if they are as
identified in the writing as soft references? Shouldn't this reference
be restored?
Possible memory-leak issue:
At the moment, each time frame 1 is reached I call mc_clip1 = new
subClass(mc.clip1) elsewhere within myClass.
Should I perform cleanup before re-instantiating these classes, say if
there is an array, to delete the array - or if there's a reference to an
outside class, to delete that as well?
I know I could do something like this below but was wondering about any
possible memory issues by calling new subClass() over and over on the same
variable.
if (mc_clip1 == undefined) {
mc_clip1 = new subClass(mc.clip1);
} else {
mc_clip1.setMovieClip(mc.clip1);
}
Thanks.
Chris

Re: [Flashcoders] practical limits to size of XML files?
on the subject of Xpath with large files, i've been impressed with the speed of XMLUtilities for large XML files. granted it really is just a wrapper for the built in XML functions, but i found it very fast and light. and really i hardly use a fraction of what Xpath is capable of anyway. sorry for being off topic, in regards to that matter i feel the subject has been covererd by greater minds than mine. ;) On 3/12/07, Ron Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We do the same thing. Once you get the hang of the XML classes it is not too bad and you can really tune your access. If you are doing your own tree climbing it gets easier to deal with a multi-file XML structure that can help reduce the amount of XML that you have to parse in any given operation. You can break the tree from the root or from the leaves to optimize the apparent latency to the user. Ron Merrill, Jason wrote: I agree with what's been said, and would add that if you cannot use Flash 9 AS3 for your XML, then be wary of the third party XML parsers when dealing with XML files of this size. I had been in love with xfactorstudio's Xpath classes (which are mostly great by the way), until I had to read in a large XML file and convert to objects in Flash (I had to convert to objects in order to preprare the data for a webservice transfer). I ended up abandoning those classes and used the build-in XML classes. While very cumbersome to use, it was a huge improvement in performance.

I think there is no reliable way for determining that. On client side it is not possible if embedding is not under your control (since some JS is needed for obtaining the HTML's URL).

Re[2]: [Flashcoders] Detecting embedded domain?
Correction: since you don't need to know the URL exactly and it is enough to determine whether it is your own or not, use JS (e.g. as mentioned by Dave) and if you get no valid response (no matter if it is a non-matching URL or nothing/error) show the logo. The only deficiency is that users with disabled JS will have the logo displayed. Attila RA I think there is no reliable way for determining that.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 parseFloat issue?
elibol wrote: Mr. Wheeler, up to 1.0e+63 says nothing about precision. This is the exponent it deals with magnitude not precision. Precision is determined by the mantisa. Thank you for correcting me, I respect and honor your knowledge, but this statement doe not help me at all. I still don't know why parseFloat in as3 fails where other languages succeed. The Java Double and the AS3 Number are documented to have the same # of bits for the exponent. Why does the parsing algorithm for these numbers return different results? Because of the way the algorithms are coded. Within the specification of floating point numbers both are correct. You can not have more than 16 meaningful digits in the whole number. You can put lots of zeros before and after to make very big numbers or very small numbers. 10010 and 10014 are the same double precision number. The hardware can not represent any difference I have a lot of reading to do. There are a lot of details that I need in order to have a good grasp on the idea. I found this particularly helpful: http://people.uncw.edu/tompkinsj/133/Numbers/Reals.htm#applet I certainly need a better idea of floating point numbers in general, but I don't think the basic idea will give me the answer to this question. It's as if I have to know how different data types store all kinds of numbers on the binary level. I then need to understand how storage affects the parsing process. I will have to know and understand the parsing algorithms. You got it. If you are going to try to exceed the spec, you have to understand what is happening. You need to understand what equality means in floating point. You must never compare 2 floating point numbers for equality. You can only get close enough. It has been that way for almost 60 years now and you and I are not going to change it. If you really need to do arithmetic on very big or very small numbers with high precision, you have to use data types that support that or write your own. This was mentioned in an early part of this thread. That is what astronomers and nuclear physicists have to do. ATM, I am on the verge of understanding why some base 10 numbers cannot be represented in base 2. I've wondered about the mechanism for representing fractions in different bases. I think representing fractions in base 2 will finally allow me to abstract this concept. It's something I've been pondering for some time now... All base 10 numbers can be represented up to some level of precision. Why can't 1/3 be represented in Base 10? I think that you will get this figured out but I am afraid that we have lost sight of your original need.

You are making a leap (I see a string of 3s as far as the eye can see, so I can assume that it goes on forever) that a computer is not able to do since the can only see to end of its mantissa and is not supposed to make guesses about how the number might turn out if only it had more places to store the least significant digits. I understand working precision, and floating point arithmetic, however, I don't understand how the parsing algorithms differ, specifically, why parseDouble has greater precision than AS3 parseFloat, and why AS1 parseFloat (up to 1.0e+63) even has greater precision than AS3 parseFloat. up to 1.0e+63 says nothing about precision. This is the exponent it deals with magnitude not precision. Precision is determined by the mantisa. The maximum exponent allowed is determined by the hardware as is the number of bits in the mantissa.. There are some general statements about what float can stand and what double can handle but no one makes any promises about the last few bits of the mantissa. From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point The arithmetical distance between two consecutive representable floating point numbers is called an ULP, for Unit in the Last Place. For example, the numbers represented by 45670123 and 45670124 hexadecimal is one ULP. An ULP is about 10^-7 in single precision, and 10^-16 in double precision. The mandated behavior of IEEE-compliant hardware is that the result be within one-half of an ULP. This tells you exactly what is supposed to happen - 7 digits of information in floating point and 16 in double and the last bit can be off by 1/2. If you look carefully at your previous examples, you will see that the differences that are bothering you are in the last bits

I'm not familiar with asunit, but I assume it's based on JUnit? I
created an AS2 package for doing unit tests and in mine I extended
Test, TestCase, and TestSuite to produce AsyncTest, AsyncTestCase, and
AsyncTestSuite, respectively. These classes complete test runs on
asynchronous events rather than at the end of a function call. In the
test cases there are functions called onRunComplete and onRunError
which can be made to listen for certain events, or can be called by
event handler functions.

hi.
i have a question on using asunit to test a class that loads XML.
i have a class that accepts a string in its constructor and i want to
test
if it'll accept not just an http://myFileLocation.xml but also a file
location such as /data/config.xml.
my question is how can i write my test with a handler for when the xml
is
finished loading?
this is what i have right now:
class com.testsource.util.ConfigParserTest extends
com.asunit.framework.TestCase {
private var className:String = com.testsource.util.ConfigParserTest;
private var configParser:ConfigParser;
public function setUp():Void {
trace(setUp: + setUp());
configParser = new ConfigParser(data/config.xml);
configParser.addEventListener(loadSuccess,
Delegate.create(this,testLoadFileLocation));
}
public function tearDown():Void {
trace(tearDown());
delete configParser;
}
public function testLoadFileLocation():Void{
var size:Number = configParser.getLayerSetSize(); // this should
return
the number 2.
trace(size: + size);
assertEquals(example test, size, 2);
}
}
the problem here is that my test is run and testLoadFileLocation() is
run
before my XML successfully loads. and by the time it does load, the
'configParser object has been deleted by the tearDown() method.
so my traces come out looking like this:
setUp()
size: 0
tearDown()
size: undefined
any tips are greatly appreciated.
thanks. -- matt.

[Flashcoders] (job offered) Need Referral to ASP Programmer
I am looking for someone to work the server side of a Flash project, using asp. No recruiters, please. Might this be you, or someone you know? The person must have demonstrated expertise in these areas: 1. Establish a database (this one will hold about 1,000 items, each with 4-6 fields). 2. On receipt of a query from Flash, the ASP will send Flash an xml file of the current database. 3. Establish a shopping cart, possibly using AbleCommerce, which is asp.net -- not sure yet, and not sure if using .net complicates things. You might be in a position to recommend a different shopping cart that you're more familiar with, as long as it works with asp. 4. Receive variables from Flash and send them securely to the shopping cart. Experience integrating Flash and asp is desirable, but not essential. The project is not yet certain, but we're well into negotiations. Please email me offlist. If you include links to a resume and work samples, I promise to reply. If you look like a good candidate, I will also forward your information to the client, who will be doing the hiring.

[Flashcoders] Caching question
I've been building a graphical front end controlled via a text log file that is frequently updated by a running process. The log file and web server are on the same unix box. I read the text log file using LoadVars. All well and good. The flash code reads the log file, extracts pertinent data and runs animations accordingly. For the most part it works well - reading from a static log file - no problem. In practice, the log file is not static and is being continually refreshed by another process that changes it's content. The flash code repeatedly re-reads the changing log file and the whole thing will start again, repeating as required. Now to the point: Since the flash front end runs in a browser, I realise that supplying a url to read the logfile from using Loadvars would be prone to caching in the browser and adding a changing parameter in the file url would deal with that. In my case, rather than use a url I've specified the logfile location as a relative path from the swf, therby avoiding sandbox restrictions. Using this technique (a relative path), is the file read prone to be cached by the browser? If so, is there any way to defeat the caching when using a relative file path (since you can't include a changing parameter in what looks like a local file)? If this file is being cached, I guess I'll have no choice but to use a url, cache killer parameter and a policy file.

Re: [Flashcoders] Controlling flv
Adrian, Have you gotten this resolved yet? I am a little rusty on the FLVPlayback component. It wraps the VideoPlayer class. If you look on the docs there are a number of properties on VideoPlayer that you might be able to use to construct the logic you describe. Docs here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/3645.html For instance, do your FLVs have encoding showing values on the property VideoPlayer.totalTime? If so, perhaps you can have a listener watch VideoPlayer.playheadTime and as it reaches totalTime you can have the logic pause on the last frame of the video before fading to black. Also, I don't know if you might be able to use the event VideoPlayer.complete. Maybe somebody from YouTube is on the list and they can share how their player is coded :-) Regardless, please post back and let us know if you have resolved this, and if so how. hth, g On 3/12/07, Adrian MacTaggart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm working with Flash 8 and I've imported an flv to the stage and set it as a progressive download, using a preset skin to control the video.

[Flashcoders] Caching
I've been building a graphical front end controlled via a text log file that is frequently updated by a running process. The log file and web server are on the same unix box. I read the text log file using LoadVars. All well and good. The flash code reads the log file, extracts pertinent data and runs animations accordingly. For the most part it works well - reading from a static log file - no problem. In practice, the log file is not static and is being continually refreshed by another process that changes it's content. The flash code repeatedly re-reads the changing log file and the whole thing will start again, repeating as required. Now to the point: Since the flash front end runs in a browser, I realise that supplying a url to read the logfile from using Loadvars would be prone to caching in the browser and adding a changing parameter in the file url would deal with that. In my case, rather than use a url I've specified the logfile location as a relative path from the swf, therby avoiding sandbox restrictions. Using this technique (a relative path), is the file read prone to be cached by the browser? If so, is there any way to defeat the caching when using a relative file path (since you can't include a changing parameter in what looks like a local file)? If this file is being cached, I guess I'll have no choice but to use a url, cache killer parameter and a policy file.

Re: [Flashcoders] is flash still alive?
Yep, I always tell them otherwise, so at least I get to convert one person at a time. We use normal computers btw! At least most of the time, not systems built out of scrap from other countries! ;) I've noticed this topic has gone quite off, but I'm sure ottocid has gotten the message, even just by the sheer number of emails! Flash is very much alive!

[Flashcoders] get ip by host name
does flash (or javascript for that matter) have anyway to get an IP by host name? For example: var returnIP = getIPbyHost(chattyfig.com); I'm restricted to scripts that only run locally (not server based like PHP). Any ideas? cheers, lincoln ___ 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] ISOMETRIC GAME ENGINE
Hi all, we are currently looking for a tile iso game engine for one of our projects. Does anybody knows some good engine with the new flash 8 enhancement even commercial we are interessed. Don't hesitate to contact me. It doesn't need to be multi-player but we must have the source to adapt it to our use.
