[Flashcoders] Linked mcs Containing linked mcs
Hi there, Have found the following problem... Say I have an mc with a linkage ID (container_mc) and it contains an mc which subclasses MovieClip (child_mc). If I attach container_mc to the stage at runtime and immediately try to call a function in the class associated with child_mc, I cannot. Child_mc 'exists' in that it traces correctly, but it seems there is no association between it and its class. The only way I've found to get around this is to set a delay of between 1/100 and 1/10 of a second before calling the function. Is there something I'm doing wrong or could do to stop having to do this?

RE: [Flashcoders] flash and Arabic
HI, It now transpires that the project I am quoting for needs much of it done in Arabic. As it is my first multi language project in Flash are there any issues with that in Flash (I could write an encyclopedia full about Director and its characater set issues) Just got back from holiday and noticed this post which doesn't seem to have had any replies. Arabic in Flash is possible but tricky. Exactly how tricky depends on what exactly you need to do. Just putting static Arabic text on screen is easy - no different from Roman. Dynamic text is essentially okay, but you need to watch out for RTL and Bidirectional issues. One major issue is that Flash behaves differently for embedded and non-embedded fonts. Text rendered using non-embedded fonts uses the OS-level text renderer, and so renders the text using the standard Bidirectional algorithm. For single-line text this is perfect (although we didn't test for a very wide range of OS's and browsers - I suspect there might be some niggles on various combinations); for multiple-line text you'll find that line breaks do not get added correctly (words get broken half-way across) so you'll need to add your line breaks directly into the dynamic text. Text rendered using embedded fonts does not render correctly: it has the same line-break issues as before, but also it renders LTR and fails to correctly interpret the Arabic characters into their cursive variants (that is, join them correctly to give the 'handwritten' style that Arabic text should have). There are ways around this, including some code libraries (check out FlashRTL). Personally, I prefer this option as you're in more control - I hate leaving things to the OS unless I absolutely have to! Of course, the above also depends on the *source* of your dynamic text: if you're in complete control, you can store the text directly as the characters that will appear on-screen. But if it's coming from something like an external XML file or some other data source, you'll need to consider these issues. If you want input text, you're in a different kettle of crustaceans. We managed to solve it, but it was a big job. There aren't currently any available commercial solutions to this, but hopefully as soon as I'm finished with my enormous globalisation job that's taken me the best part of a year, we'll be releasing my solution in some form.

RE: [Flashcoders] [semi-OT] - Preventing Software Piracy
Thanks all for your responses (and apologies for my tardy reply!) Roy - that's a really interesting idea. I have a couple of follow up questions though please. Were you then loading those SWFs into Director, rather than using a loadMovie to load them into Flash? I assume so, because although I could use the BinaryIO xtra to rewrite the files to disc, then load them into Flash, that would of course expose the unmumged files while the application was running. Also, how difficult would it be for someone familiar with the SWF format to identify and strip those junk bits? I am thinking perhaps this *could* be a solution given AS3's binary socket capabilities... Hairy Dog - thanks for the pointer - am still reading through the archives - not really inspiring much confidence though I'm afraid :( Gustavo - no, Flash can't do this unfortunately, and in most cases it's a fairly trivial matter to work around Director's protected external casts too (well, as far as retrieving the assets goes anyway, not the code though). Coincidentally, Brazil is one of our target territories - if you can shed any more light on the level of protection against piracy in south America that would be both useful and interesting... I guess we still need to have some more internal discussions about how secure is secure enough, how much effort to protect is too much effort etc etc. Anyway, thanks for the input all.

Yes: you're doing an awful lot of createEmptyMovieClips:
leftmenu_downbtn.onRollOver = function(){
scrollingspeed = 4;
leftscrollup=true;
leftscrolling_fn();
}
function leftscrolling_fn(){
var test =
this.createEmptyMovieClip(test,this.getNextHighestDepth());
...
}
Looks to me like you should move the creation of your test movieClip out of
the leftscrolling_fn function.
Best
Danny

[Flashcoders] attach an icon in a RSL-imported custom RButton implementation?
Flashcoders, I have a custom radiobutton component (MyRButton.as) that resides in a runtime-shared library (RSL). The component consists of an image and a textlabel, and I'm having problems implementing the image part of the component: Whereas the MyRButton code resides in the RSL.swf, the image will reside in MyWebApp.swf (which loads in RSL.swf at runtime). So how can a component from a RSL load in (attachMovie() I guess...) an image that resides in the symbol library of MyWebApp.swf? Any other proposals on how to implement this?

[Flashcoders] scaling/positioning FLVPlayback
I'm new to the FLVPlayback component so sorry if these are trivial questions, but I'm confused about how to create a Flash Video player that doesn't scale the controls when resized. Do I need to explicitly do some 9-point scaling settings somewhere? It's ironic that Flash is based on vector graphics and the ability unique among web multimedia components to scale to any display, and yet while all the other video player plugins will happily resize with controls simply extendinging horizontally, the FLVPlayback component grows or shrinks the actual control UI elements, which is pretty ugly. I saw another post about positioning loaded video centered within the FLVPlayback component. Does this require ActionScript? There is no property on the component to handle this? What about scaling video, with or without preserving its aspect ratio, to fit the full frame (minus controls)? Any help is appreciated.

[Flashcoders] OT: Salary Questions
Hello, I'm in Oklahoma City, so it's a bit harder sometimes for me to gauge how much compensation I should receive. If anyone has any comments on the following information, please let me know. I won't disclose my exact salary, but you can email me offlist if you're curious. My title is Application Developer, but I am the only person here (and always have been) that knows the difference between a boolean and a string. I am the only technical person and I often take on experienced IT-related roles such as web server configuration, shell scripting, server monitoring/management, etc (mostly Unix-based, some Windows 2000). I architect and build all backend solutions (PHP, mySQL, CF, RoR, J2EE) and desktop solutions (Cocoa, Java, Flash/mProjector). I have extensive knowledge of media streaming and FCS/FMS application development. I also architect all web-based applications and provide diagrams and documentation for them, after meeting with clients or upper management directly to translate business objectives into software tools. I then sit down and do ALL of the development work. I work with one designer but I do all UI/interactivity design. I also manage a small team of interactive designers and producers. My title does not reflect these duties, but it is difficult to communicate to my boss what I do. I am getting roughly what a junior Actionscript developer would make, and I'm fed up. There are also no stock options, no profit sharing, no retirement (401K), no vision nor dental. We get a very simple medical insurance plan. I am looking for advice on this matter. Do I expect too much if I demand at least $90K a year? How do I better inform management as to what I actually do on a daily basis? If I'm right in thinking that I'm getting screwed, is anyone hiring? ;) Cheers! -- Jordan Snyder [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Company Undisclosed) ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] flash and Arabic
We tried the following: (we're embedding fonts in all cases, also we don't have require any input fields...we're just displaying Arabic) -Copied Arabic text into a static text field...flash actually reverses the characters. So we copied reversed text a static field. Then when we published, it seems that the characters were not being displayed correctly. An arabic reader took a look at it and told us that the arabic characters didn't connect to each other correctly! It's as if you took English script characters and broke them apart! We then tried a few more experiments... - copy and pasted Arabic text (normal order) into a dynamic field...flash flipped it. But when you publish it for Player 8, the order of the text is correct, but the characters looked disjointed again. -We published it for Player 7 and this time everything looked perfect. The order of the text was correct and the characters looked connected!!! We basically have all the text assets in a separate .swf (published for Player 7) and we're using it as a runtime shared library. Our main app is published as Player 8. Has anyone else seen this? Am I not doing something right here? I'm shocked that support for Arabic (and I'm assuming other RTL languages) took a step backwards from Player 7 to Player 8. I wonder what it is in Player 9. -James On Apr 16, 2007, at 7:10 AM, nik crosina wrote: Thank you very much, Danny, Yes I thought that this post sank without a trace, lucky you saw it!

Of course, the above also depends on the *source* of your dynamic text: if you're in complete control, you can store the text directly as the characters that will appear on-screen. But if it's coming from something like an external XML file or some other data source, you'll need to consider these issues. If you want input text, you're in a different kettle of crustaceans. We managed to solve it, but it was a big job. There aren't currently any available commercial solutions to this, but hopefully as soon as I'm finished with my enormous globalisation job that's taken me the best part of a year, we'll be releasing my solution in some form.

Re: [Flashcoders] Scaling Up an Image in Proportion to width or height
I found some code online which I turned into a function... This
should give you the scale whether you are scaling up or down. You
tell it the area you want your mc to fit into and it will give you a
number back...all you have to do is then use that number...example:
mc._xscale = mc._yscale = number_returned_from_function.
Maybe this helps out a bit?
function fitToDimension( sourceWidth:Number, sourceHeight:Number,
targetWidth:Number, targetHeight:Number ):Number {
if ( sourceWidth/targetWidth sourceHeight/targetHeight ) {
//aspect ratio is determined by width
return (targetWidth*100/sourceWidth);
} else {
//aspect ratio is determined by height
return (targetHeight*100/sourceHeight);
}
}

For instance, i want my images to be in proportion and at least 500

[Flashcoders] Loading a SWF and calling the caller from that SWF
I am cross-movie scripting and want to call a method on the loading SWF from the loaded SWF. That is, I have a.swf and I load b.swf into it. I then want to call a.methodX. The other way around is pretty easy. I'm not sure how to get a handle on the calling swf. I've considered calling a method on B with a reference to A so that I get a handle (e.g., b.methodY(referenceToA) but this won't work in my situation because I want it to work with an older swf (a component really) that has already been disturbed. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

I find that I am able to refer to the loading swf using _level0[instanceName] if I open the loading swf from a web server. From localHost, that doesn't work.

RE: [Flashcoders] IE7 flash player bug
Actually, for me it doesn't work fine once I click on it. The problem persists
when clicked on (I have a site I'm working on that is embedded with js where
I'm having the problem as well. I just didn't want that to be part of the
equation when looking into this bug).
It is not the eola issue, but it does seem to be specific to my computer and
possibly Vista (I checked it out on some other computers running Vista and
IE7), so I'm going to stop caring since I use firefox for personal browsing
anyways.
At any rate, the problem's not fixed, but I don't need to fix it anymore.
Thanks

Changing it to the onLoad handler doesn't change it.

What happens if you take .autoSize out of the onLoad handler?
Don't have IE7, so haven't tried it.
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import TextField.StyleSheet;
var path:String = test.css;
var tf:TextField;
var format:StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
function formatLoadHandler(loaded:Boolean):Void {
if (loaded) {
this.tf.styleSheet = format;
this.tf.htmlText = a href=\http://www.adobe.com\;adobe/a;
} else {
this.tf.text = Error loading CSS file!;
}
}
this.tf.autoSize = left;
this.tf.html = true;
this.format.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, this.formatLoadHandler);
this.format.load(path);

Subject: [Flashcoders] IE7 flash player bug
I am experiencing a bug in IE7 with a textfield and anchor tags. This
doesnt seem to be a problem with IE 6 and everything appears
fine in firefox, safari, etc.
When I set the textfields html text to something, give it a stylesheet, and
call autosize, the rollover no longer works.
You can see an example Ive set up here HYPERLINK
http://sandboxwin.blenderbox.com/flashplayerbug/http://sandboxwin.blenderbox.com/flashplayerbug/
Has anyone seen this before? Is it a bug? Have you fixed this before? Any
thoughts?
Thanks,
Caleb

Re: [Flashcoders] Ten Year Flash website
Hi Weyert, So, The 10 year anniversary site was made very closely to the way you have imagined. After lots of consideration, we went for the best looking combination. The earth itself was two .flv's... one going forward and one going in reverse. There was one transition to the higher resolution close-up image. The dots were mapped to the earth based on one snyched animated dot that was scaled and sequenced to the correct start frame. And the background was a scrolling bitmap that was also synched. While, I think this system has some excellent benefits in controlling the look and image quality, file size and performance issues can occur. If doing it again, I would like to explore doing something like Andre michelle's genius... http://lab.andre-michelle.com/earth Displacing the an image or even a series of images with layered clouds etc into one bitmap. Hope this helps... Mark Carolin On 4/13/07, Weyert de Boer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! I just saw the new website Ten Year Flash. It really looks nice. But could someone here share what you used for creating the Earth?

Some lang/lat projection system or something to show the items on the globe. How would you guys do it? Or more interesting would any of the creators of the site share information?

Anyone have any suggestions. People are dying. Apps are breaking.

Re: [Flashcoders] flash and Arabic
So Adobe Director is not alone in behaving oddly with fonts, char sets and languages ... ... that makes me really look forward to that project now ;) Thanks, Nik Crosina On 4/16/07, James Tu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We tried the following: (we're embedding fonts in all cases, also we don't have require any input fields...we're just displaying Arabic) -Copied Arabic text into a static text field...flash actually reverses the characters. So we copied reversed text a static field. Then when we published, it seems that the characters were not being displayed correctly. An arabic reader took a look at it and told us that the arabic characters didn't connect to each other correctly! It's as if you took English script characters and broke them apart! We then tried a few more experiments... - copy and pasted Arabic text (normal order) into a dynamic field...flash flipped it. But when you publish it for Player 8, the order of the text is correct, but the characters looked disjointed again. -We published it for Player 7 and this time everything looked perfect. The order of the text was correct and the characters looked connected!!! We basically have all the text assets in a separate .swf (published for Player 7) and we're using it as a runtime shared library. Our main app is published as Player 8. Has anyone else seen this? Am I not doing something right here? I'm shocked that support for Arabic (and I'm assuming other RTL languages) took a step backwards from Player 7 to Player 8. I wonder what it is in Player 9. -James On Apr 16, 2007, at 7:10 AM, nik crosina wrote: Thank you very much, Danny, Yes I thought that this post sank without a trace, lucky you saw it!

Nik Crosina On 4/16/07, Danny Kodicek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: HI, It now transpires that the project I am quoting for needs much of it done in Arabic. As it is my first multi language project in Flash are there any issues with that in Flash (I could write an encyclopedia full about Director and its characater set issues) Just got back from holiday and noticed this post which doesn't seem to have had any replies. Arabic in Flash is possible but tricky. Exactly how tricky depends on what exactly you need to do. Just putting static Arabic text on screen is easy - no different from Roman. Dynamic text is essentially okay, but you need to watch out for RTL and Bidirectional issues. One major issue is that Flash behaves differently for embedded and non-embedded fonts. Text rendered using non-embedded fonts uses the OS-level text renderer, and so renders the text using the standard Bidirectional algorithm. For single-line text this is perfect (although we didn't test for a very wide range of OS's and browsers - I suspect there might be some niggles on various combinations); for multiple-line text you'll find that line breaks do not get added correctly (words get broken half-way across) so you'll need to add your line breaks directly into the dynamic text. Text rendered using embedded fonts does not render correctly: it has the same line-break issues as before, but also it renders LTR and fails to correctly interpret the Arabic characters into their cursive variants (that is, join them correctly to give the 'handwritten' style that Arabic text should have). There are ways around this, including some code libraries (check out FlashRTL). Personally, I prefer this option as you're in more control - I hate leaving things to the OS unless I absolutely have to! Of course, the above also depends on the *source* of your dynamic text: if you're in complete control, you can store the text directly as the characters that will appear on-screen. But if it's coming from something like an external XML file or some other data source, you'll need to consider these issues. If you want input text, you're in a different kettle of crustaceans. We managed to solve it, but it was a big job. There aren't currently any available commercial solutions to this, but hopefully as soon as I'm finished with my enormous globalisation job that's taken me the best part of a year, we'll be releasing my solution in some form.

The hard time I am having about this is that it has alway worked
before 9.0.45 which came out on the 14th. It works fine with all
previous versions. Too many apps to correct. Maybe I'll get lucky and

Re: [Flashcoders] [semi-OT] - Preventing Software Piracy
Hi, Not sure whether that is applicable to your project, Pete, but has anyone ever used dongle (i.e. hardware) protection for their projects? I am currently testing out HASP from Aladdin, and does the job so far (have not come very far yet in testing though). It does offer to build calls to the key into the functions of the software you are building, and I am in the process of finding out if that includes ActionScript as well. What do you guys think about this kind of protection? Why isn't it used more often? Nik On 4/16/07, Blumenthal, Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks all for your responses (and apologies for my tardy reply!) Roy - that's a really interesting idea. I have a couple of follow up questions though please. Were you then loading those SWFs into Director, rather than using a loadMovie to load them into Flash? I assume so, because although I could use the BinaryIO xtra to rewrite the files to disc, then load them into Flash, that would of course expose the unmumged files while the application was running. Also, how difficult would it be for someone familiar with the SWF format to identify and strip those junk bits? I am thinking perhaps this *could* be a solution given AS3's binary socket capabilities... Hairy Dog - thanks for the pointer - am still reading through the archives - not really inspiring much confidence though I'm afraid :( Gustavo - no, Flash can't do this unfortunately, and in most cases it's a fairly trivial matter to work around Director's protected external casts too (well, as far as retrieving the assets goes anyway, not the code though). Coincidentally, Brazil is one of our target territories - if you can shed any more light on the level of protection against piracy in south America that would be both useful and interesting... I guess we still need to have some more internal discussions about how secure is secure enough, how much effort to protect is too much effort etc etc. Anyway, thanks for the input all.

Re: [Flashcoders] [semi-OT] - Preventing Software Piracy
Hi Nik, I have done research for my dad a while ago, and I came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth the effort $$$ wise. Not sure whether that is applicable to your project, Pete, but has anyone ever used dongle (i.e. hardware) protection for their projects? I am currently testing out HASP from Aladdin, and does the job so far (have not come very far yet in testing though). Yes, the problem with dongles is that it's quite hard to implement, right. Especially, I would like to advice you not take any of the included examples or even consider build on top of it. The examples are weak. Please rent some person who is fully into the dongle and encryption. If not, it will be lost money. What do you guys think about this kind of protection? Why isn't it used more often?

[Flashcoders] Reasons of failing onLoad of LoadVars
Hello!
I happen to have some issues with the onLoad event of the LoadVars
object in ActionScript.
I am curious if anyone here could tell what could be the possible
reasons why the onLoad event
don't get triggered.
The problem I have is that the event don't get triggered while the other
to events onHTTPStatus and onData
are receiving the actually data received from the POST or GET request.
For example, it returns 200 as the http
status and the actual OK (as expected) as the data.
It also seems that the addRequestHeader() command gets ignored?!?!
Could someone tell me what could be the problem? Maybe I am not sending
my HTTP headers correctly?
If you can shed some light on it for me... let me please know!
The code I used for this test is:
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
result_lv.onLoad = function(success) { // nothing
trace( success: + success )
if (success) {
trace( success: + status );
log(Success! + result_lv.welcomeMessage);
} else {
trace( error);
log(Error connecting to server.);
}
}
result_lv.onData = function(data) {
trace(R: data: + data );
log( data: + data );
if ( data == OK ) {
log(command succesfully. );
}
}
result_lv.onHTTPStatus = function(status) {
trace( R: status: + status );
log( status: + status );
}
function log(msg) {
logger.text = logger.text + msg + \n;
}
//
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.onLoad=function(s) {
trace(success: + s ); // nothing
}
send_lv.action = authenticate;
send_lv.username = 23;
send_lv.password = 7cc658971e8f998772bc0a3dda09e834b4d9aede;
send_lv.addRequestHeader( Contraband-PublicHash,
068c0316e6af2602bbf56cfd85175ff2ae732d02 );
send_lv.sendAndLoad(http://127.0.0.1:8082/;, result_lv, POST );
stop();
Thanks in advance!
p.s. Probably overlooking something :/
Yours,
Weyert de Boer
