[Flashcoders] MXP installation in Flash CS3
Hi all, A client of mine has recently reported that he has problems installing MXP package in Flash CS3. I haven't upgraded to CS3 yet, so I'd appreciate if someone can confirm or deny: 1) mxp still can work for CS3 (with Extension manager, of course) 2) content goes as it used in Flash 8: components - in $flash/Components classes - in $flash/Classes help - in $flash/HelpPanel/Help 3) Has $flash path changed sighnifically in Flash CS3? To answer above questions, you just need to install any mxp from Adobe exchange. While I do understand that it is (with probability of 90%) just a client can't see the obvious thing issue, but just to be sure.

Re: [Flashcoders] MXP installation in Flash CS3
No problems here so far. ExtensionManager works fine. components - in $flash/Components classes - in $flash/Classes help - in $flash/HelpPanel/Help Those haven't changed. The only thing that changed is they're now in an Adobe directory rather than in a Macromedia dir. e.g. ...\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes has become: ...\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Classes But since $flash always points to the Configuration directory it doesn't matter. I have several AS2 components installed and a few Panels (WindowSWF). Panels written in AS2 still work in FCS3. When you have FCS3 installed alongside F8 and open the Extension Manager, it will list all the installed F8 extensions in the FCS3 window, but unchecked in the Extension Manager. You can simply enable them and they'll get copied from the F8 install to the FCS3 install. So if you have alot of F8 extensions that you want to re-use in FCS3, don't uninstall F8 untill after you installed FCS3 (and enabled the necessary extensions). The components panel will list/show different extensions depending on which type of document is currently open. FCS3 has 2 types of FLA documents: - Actionscript 2.0 - Actionscript 3.0 Components written for AS2 will only show up in the components panel if you have an AS2 FLA document open. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Gregory N [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 8:25 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] MXP installation in Flash CS3 Hi all, A client of mine has recently reported that he has problems installing MXP package in Flash CS3.

Re: [Flashcoders] swfs taxing some browsers more than others?
Hi, My tests on a mac show that Safari, Firefox and Flock all pretty well consume similar amounts of CPU. With an average difference between the three of 10% This figure is not reliable because the CPU fluctuated +/- 5% throughout the tests. My results averaged. Firefox 37% Safari 42% Flock 39% These percentages are of the total CPU so they are a lot smaller than Nick's If i look at Users graph only they look like Nicks figures ( ie 82% av ) there was always at least 50 to 60 percent idle and the rest reserved.

[Flashcoders] Flash 9 Alpha Preview TextInput Weirdness
Hi, Though it's way too late to post this kind of message since Flash CS3 is pretty much out but anyways. Try to initialize this chunk of code in the alpha preview: package { import flash.display.Sprite; import mx.controls.TextInput; public class Test extends Sprite { public function Test() { var vTextInput:TextInput = new TextInput(); } } } You'll likely get this: **Error** D:\{path}\Test.as : Line 9, Column 19 : [Compiler] Error #1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TextInput. var vTextInput:TextInput = new TextInput(); **Error** D:\{path}\Test.as : Line 9, Column 35 : [Compiler] Error #1180: Call to a possibly undefined method TextInput. var vTextInput:TextInput = new TextInput(); **Error** D:\{path}\Test.as : Line 4, Column 21 : [Compiler] Error #1172: Definition mx.controls:TextInput could not be found. import mx.controls.TextInput; ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Timeline0_d5d529a7787d74f90f259f8632b8b7 is not defined.

[Flashcoders] setInterval woes
Hey all, Some of you may remember my problems with visually mapping streaming data before. I ended up needing them as separate clips to provide individual roll-over support with the ability to add links in a future revision. Well, now that I have it performing better, I'm breaking down the information into intervals of 1 minute bursts. What I'm trying to do is use setInterval to have it pull the data once per minute. The problem is, when I use setInterval as documented, it waits the first minute, does its thing, but then it ignores the interval after that, pulling the data every time that frame comes up. Here's the relevant bit of code: function intervalLoop() { xmlData = new XML(); xmlData.load(wddx.php); xmlData.onLoad = function () { wddx = new Wddx(); _root.wddxObj = wddx.deserialize(this); delete(xmlData); } for (j=0; j _root.lines.length; j++) { trace(Deleting clip: + _root.lines[j][pen]._name); _root.lines[j][pen].removeMovieClip(); delete(_root.lines[j][pen]); delete(_root.lines[j][timestamp]); _root.lines.splice(j,1); } for (var i in _root.wddxObj) { _root.counter++; date_now = new Date(); pen = createEmptyMovieClip(curve_ + i + _mc, 2 + _root.counter); trace(Added clip: + pen._name); pen.lineStyle(1.5,0xFF6600); container = {pen: pen, timestamp: date_now}; _root.lines.push(container); dest_long = _root.wddxObj[i][long]; dest_lat = _root.wddxObj[i][lat]; site = _root.wddxObj[i][site]; src_long = _root.locations[site][long]; src_lat = _root.locations[site][lat]; curvePoint(pen, src_long, src_lat, dest_long, dest_lat); } } setInterval(intervalLoop, 6); Thanks, Michael King CSIRT - Developer Security Incident Response Group Humana Inc.

[Flashcoders] _parent and _root in custom component have same dimensions as the latter?
Hello, I have a probably very stupid problem: I'm trying to create a custom v2 component representing a playing card (full source code at the bottom). It works mostly ok, but when I try to get _parent's _width and _height in its onPress handler in order to restrict dragging: private function onPress():Void { setDepthTo(DepthManager.kTop); startDrag(this); // startDrag(this, false, // 0, 0, _parent._width - _width, _parent._height - _height); dispatchEvent(clicked_obj); } I surprisingly get same values as for the _width and _height of the component itself. And for _root too: CLICKED CARD: [EMAIL PROTECTED],127.5 rot: 0 PARENT1: _level0 159.75x244.85 ROOT: _level0 159.75x244.85 PARENT2: 183.5x265.65 Why does it happen?

[Flashcoders] Netstream.seek problem

I have traced all my methods for duplicate entries etc. Everything seems fine. I hope I made my point clear :) This is my setPlayHead method which should take care of things: private function setPlayhead(event:MouseEvent):void { // rescale the playhead sprite var position:Number = (event.localX*progress.scaleX)/bar.width; playhead.scaleX = position; // current position in the video timeline ? var curPos:Number = Math.floor(duration*position); // seek the new current position videoStream.seek(curPos); // after this the video goes bananas in FFWD mode } ___ 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] setInterval woes
I'm wondering the same as Alexander...perhaps it's something to do with the timeline, or with other code that is happening around the code you posted. Is there anything else we should know? You should also just put a trace at the top of the intervalLoop() function to see if the problem may be with the server. It is unlikely but I've seen stranger. It may not even be with the server, it may be with the XML object you have there. If you're deleting it in the first iteration but not initializing it with 'var xmlData = new XML();, then where would it be coming from after it's deleted? That is, unless you're doing something outside that function. Hope that makes sense...I'm just now pouring my first cup of coffee into my belly.

Muzak, thanks a lot for your comprehensive answer. On 4/20/07, Muzak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No problems here so far. ExtensionManager works fine. components - in $flash/Components classes - in $flash/Classes help - in $flash/HelpPanel/Help Those haven't changed. The only thing that changed is they're now in an Adobe directory rather than in a Macromedia dir. e.g. ...\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes has become: ...\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Classes But since $flash always points to the Configuration directory it doesn't matter. I have several AS2 components installed and a few Panels (WindowSWF). Panels written in AS2 still work in FCS3. When you have FCS3 installed alongside F8 and open the Extension Manager, it will list all the installed F8 extensions in the FCS3 window, but unchecked in the Extension Manager. You can simply enable them and they'll get copied from the F8 install to the FCS3 install. So if you have alot of F8 extensions that you want to re-use in FCS3, don't uninstall F8 untill after you installed FCS3 (and enabled the necessary extensions). The components panel will list/show different extensions depending on which type of document is currently open. FCS3 has 2 types of FLA documents: - Actionscript 2.0 - Actionscript 3.0 Components written for AS2 will only show up in the components panel if you have an AS2 FLA document open. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Gregory N [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 8:25 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] MXP installation in Flash CS3 Hi all, A client of mine has recently reported that he has problems installing MXP package in Flash CS3.

RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
What I would highly recommend is externalizing your interval and data loading into a class. This way, you have the class handle its own state and data, fire an event once it's loaded or reloaded data and have your movie listen for that event. The class can then be instantiated just once at the beginning of your movie. OR, use a Singleton to ensure a single instantiation. I would probably advise against the Singleton approach for your purposes, though. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael King Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 5:35 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes Hey all, Some of you may remember my problems with visually mapping streaming data before.

RE: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
Yes, that's where you're mistaken. setInterval will set an interval that will call a method at each interval. Whether you assign it to a variable or not, it will continue to call that method at each interval. This is how setInterval works. In order to clear an interval, you MUST assign an ID and call clearInterval on that ID. The functionality you're talking about is a setTimeout. That calls a method once and ONLY once after a specified delay. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jordan Snyder Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 3:02 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes No, I mean that he is only calling setInterval once and has no apparent need to even assign it to a variable for use with clearInterval later.

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
Nevermind. I'm obviously not communicating very well. I'm extremely familiar with setInterval's and setTimeout's functionality. What I'm trying to figure out is why Steven says to clearInterval first clearInterval can not be run without an argument, so I'm saying that if you haven't assigned setInterval to something, what are you going to call clearInterval on? And why would you call it before it's even assigned to an actual interval?

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval woes
pulling the data every time that frame comes up. Is this called on a timeline with many frames and no stop()? If so, I think you are setting a completely new interval on each loop of the frames. If you want this thing to fire once each minute put it somewhere outside of this loop of frames and call the setInterval I don't know how your project is set up but alternative is to check if the interval exists and don't spawn a new one, something like: frame 1: if (_global.initLoop == undefined) { _global.initLoop = setInterval(intervalLoop, 6); } this way your setInterval is called once and will do its thing every minute and independent of the timeline activity.
