Re: [Flashcoders] how to get controls and anchors of curve, gradients, etc.
Hello Andrew, Burak and Peter! @Peter: nice to 'meet you'! Beside the fact, you code links are dead now, it is hard to get through to you. ;-) I have looked for those classes some time ago, and Burak and other helped me out. I also found some nice transformation objects that can be applied to Arrays based on the 'ASVDrawing' format. I always wonder, why this format has not experienced wider distribution, especially in the open source community, because when using a mtasc/compiler-only based workflow, it makes sense to draw vectors on runtime, I think. One could e.g. implement components and skin them using different 'ASVDrawing' formatted arrays.

[Flashcoders] Huge problems with preloader
Hi all, It seems it's taking time to connect with the server or something. I'm trying this from spain and the server is in USA, so that might be the problem, I don't know. Anyway, what happens is when I try to load a swf of arround 130Kb and try to print something with onLoadProgress on screen it takes a while to start printing anything at all but then it prints like ten passes through that method and loads the file all at once. Let me explain myself, this is what happens. I click to load the file ... nothing happens ... nothing happens ... nothing happens ... nothing happens (for a second or two) It prints the preloader information I told it to print when it gets throught onLoadProgress (like if it had passed through it 10 times or so) and it shows the loaded file. Everything very very fast. So I'm waiting for it to start showing the upload progress and when it finally does the file has already been loaded but it shows the progress it followed anyway. If the file is larger more or less the same happens, but then I do get to see the loader printing on screen, I only miss the first part.

[Flashcoders] Attaching a change handler to a dynamically generated comboBox
Hello List,
I am having an issue with attaching a change handler to a ComboBox
that is being dynamically generated. What is wrong with this code I am
using?
var myComboBox =
myScrollBox.createClassChildAtDepth(mx.controls.ComboBox,
DepthManager.kTop, {_x:10, _y:10});
myComboBox.addItem({label:Foo, data:FooBar});
function comboDisplay(component) {
trace(myComboBox.getSelectedItem().data);
}
myComboBox.setChangeHandler(comboDisplay);
As a test, I tried:
myComboBox.onPress = function() {
trace(myComboBox.getSelectedItem().data);
}
... and it did trace the first item, but of course it wouldn't work as
a dropdown anymore.
Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Huge problems with preloader
May be the delay at the beginning is caused by a slow connection, e.g. when you try to download a file, the browser sends a request to the server in order to ask whether the file already stored in the browser's cache is updated on the server or not. If the server's response is not modified, the browser takes the file from the cache, which will take almost no time. But if the connection is slow, the request for checking modification may take a longer time. RS Also, if the file is 123Kb, Why does getBytesTotal show 1347693 ? SWFs are mostly compressed files, but getBytesTotal() returns the uncompressed size of the Flash movie, instead of the actual file size.

Re: [Flashcoders] Attaching a change handler to a dynamically generated comboBox
As far I remember setChangeHandler() was used in v1 component library
for Flash 6. Are you surely using v1 components? I don't think so,
since there was no createClassChildAtDepth(), mx.controls.ComboBox
class, etc. In v2 components there is an other way of attaching event
handlers (addEventListener, change event).

HW if you generate your swf with a size report (see publish settings), how many HW bytes do you exported in the first frame? Probably he wants to display loading status of an external SWF and not the movie itself, since MovieClipLoader (and onLoadProgress) cannot track loading of the main movie - so the first frame's content doesn't affect the preloader.

[Flashcoders] Stopping a Movie CLip ANimation
Ben, Thanks so much for trying this. In reading all of the documentation on 3.0 it says no more ActionScript on MovieClip timelines at all which didn't bother me until I started thinking about the basic construction I use for starting out the Flash class. And I assumed stops counted as ActionScript but didn't test it. thanks again Mark ben wrote Can you elaborate on your question? Not that I'll be able to answer, but I'm confused by what you said. I haven't really tried much in the way of timeline stuff in AS3 as I just got Flash CS3 last week. If I read you right, you're saying that I can't add a stop action to the end of an AS3 Flash 9 published SWF. WellI did, and it worked. I made a little motion tween and put a stop action at the end, and it stopped, as expected. I did the same for the first frame and it didn't move. I must be misunderstanding what you're getting at, but would really like to know if there are any unexpected things to watch out for! fill me in? Thanks! ben Mark Badger wrote: Hi, I'm re-writing a beginning Flash class for designers. I used Movie Clips so that they would just adjust to using movie clips for interactivity as they move on to more complex topics. Graphic symbols vs. Movie Clips would just confuse students and added a layer of confusion that made life harder. Now in AS 3 I can't add stops to the first frame of the movie clip. No big deal, but then I can't add stops to the last frame of a Movie Clip either. Is the only way to stop a Movie Clip from looping is to check if the last frame been reached and then stop it? This seems like an overwhelming amount of thought for a newbie to grasp.

Re: [Flashcoders] Huge problems with preloader
Ok, thanks all. Knowing that it must be a delay to start getting the info of the file being download what I do is meassure that delay and adapt the preloader accordingly. With every new download my new preolader adapts and knows better how long is it going to take it to start getting the info and how much of the file will be already downloaded when that happens. So the first part of the preloading is just an animation taking the time I assume is going to take given the last downloads and the second part is the real preloader of the bytes left. Kind of tricky but it now works pretty well. On 6/26/07, Muzak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: show us some code. where are you testing this?

[Flashcoders] Revenue?
I have been looking into a couple ways that you can make money with flash content. I was thinking about making widgets over games, but since I am so new, I figured the best thing to do was to come to the experts. 1. What should I create? (game/widget) 2. How should I dustribute? 3. How could I make a decent amount of revenue? ...Would be interesting to get a good thread going, Thanks!

[Flashcoders] FMS, No event when client had lost connection?
Hey guys, Has anyone expierenced that the FMS server doesn't get an onDisconnect form a client that has lost his connection? After a while (up to 10 min) the fms will throw the user out the list.. But by then the client could have reconnected again.. will get new Client ID and give trouble with the old ghost username in the peoplelist with people connected. Off course this can be solved with ducktape and ping commands every now and then.. but has anyone got another approuch? Maybe server settings or something else? This should be the 2.0.4 version With kind regards, Dennis ___ 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] load image in livepreview?
when you say load are you talking externally? or embedded in the component swc? are we talking AS3? is this a new FLA based component for AS3 or swc? AS3 wraps the component at designtime with a livePreviewParent class and it's running a swf essentially. So, you should be able to load an external file without a problem. I'm building a component right now thats loading XML and multiple images at design time in the IDE without any problem without any special tricks. Although, i will say, you have to use an absolute path - relative won't work from where the FLA is saved if that's what you're assuming.

Re: [Flashcoders] Attaching a change handler to a dynamically generated comboBox
I'm using Flash 9.
I just tried using this instead of setChangeHandler:
var myComboBox = myScrollBox.createClassChildAt Depth(mx.controls.ComboBox,
DepthManager.kTop, {_x:10, _y:10});
myCondition.change = function(eventObj){
// combo = myComboBox.getSelectedItem().data;
combo = myComboBox.selectedItem;
trace(combo.label);
}
myComboBox.addEventListener(change, myCondition);
... And it didn't work either. Any advice?
Thanks,
--Carl

As far I remember setChangeHandler() was used in v1 component library
for Flash 6. Are you surely using v1 components? I don't think so,
since there was no createClassChildAtDepth(), mx.controls.ComboBox
class, etc. In v2 components there is an other way of attaching event
handlers (addEventListener, change event).

Subject: [Flashcoders] Attaching a change handler to a dynamically
generated comboBox
--===--
Hello List,
I am having an issue with attaching a change handler to a ComboBox
that is being dynamically generated. What is wrong with this code I am
using?
var myComboBox =
myScrollBox.createClassChildAtDepth(mx.controls.ComboBox,
DepthManager.kTop, {_x:10, _y:10});
myComboBox.addItem({label:Foo, data:FooBar});
function comboDisplay(component) {
trace(myComboBox.getSelectedItem().data);
}
myComboBox.setChangeHandler(comboDisplay);
As a test, I tried:
myComboBox.onPress = function() {
trace(myComboBox.getSelectedItem().data);
}
... and it did trace the first item, but of course it wouldn't work as
a dropdown anymore.
Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] load image in livepreview? [solution]
the hint from John Grden was good.. the path to the external file has to be absolute to load the image in during livepreview.
