Hi,
you might wanna search for xml2obj or xml2object, this has been implemented
a million times before:)

[Flashcoders] RE: +Infinite Loop -Dignity

[daniel]

Thanks everyone for the input! It works now. I'm simplifying my architecture
at the moment, as I do understand that function calls are quite costly in
the world of ActionScript.

Danny's suggestion was mostly correct, however an Animation instance is
unaware of a Scene, so an Animation's update function couldn't have been
calling a Scene's update function over again. (This is intended behavior.)

It had to do with the fact that an animation was capable of having another
animation added unto itself. This wasn't correct, and was supposed to have
been removed from my implementation. It wasn't, so that's what created the
infinite loop.

The reason I'm jumping through so many hoops, as David puts it, is that the
Game class is responsible for managing a Scene, which in turn is responsible
for updating in-game graphical Elements. The reason Game doesn't do this by
itself is that it should not be aware, or even care, about the Elements
currently loaded. It should concern itself with game-level mechanics only,
such as managing the difficulty and score.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm ranting. Clear sometimes not me, often that.

Thanks everyone!

Why are you using INSANELY long variable names like 'element' and

Shouldn't that read:

var i:Number = a.length;

while(i--)a[i].n.t();

RE: [Flashcoders] Simplify point collection

[Smeets, Ben]

I might be pushing my luck here, but is there some similar magic piece of code 
which can transform a collection of lines to a single polygon line? (So i can 
use the linegeneralization code below) I have a large collection of random 
lines which have a lot of overlappig start/end points. The only dinkytoy way I 
can think of to combine these into polygons is to take point 1, look through 
the whole collection for matching points, take point 2..etc. 
 
The way too global searchterms i can think of to use for googling brings up 
everything but related stuff.

Re: [Flashcoders] Application Structure - Flash Remoting& MovieClipLoader

[Muzak]

More specifically, look for the ServiceLocator. It's a Singleton that houses 
all the remote services.
Then from anywhere in your app you can do something like this:

var service:Service = ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService("nameOfService");
var pendingCall:PendingCall = service.someMethod();
pendingCall.responder = new RelayResponder(this, "resultHandler", 
"faultHandler");

In an ARP/Cairngorm application you would normally do this from a Command 
class, rather than "anywhere in your app".

Note that allthough most of them talk about "flex", don't let that scare you, 
they're all MVC based and are very similar.

Re: [Flashcoders] Application Structure - Flash Remoting & MovieClipLoader

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

   I would suggest looking at ARP or another Framework to handle your 
Service calls through a single interface which you create services for.


   It is well documented with examples and OS so you should be able to 
get the hang of it quite quickly.

This effect would probably be much quicker by performing rectangular
region copies from one BitmapData object to another and use a matrix
for the transformation - all that's needed is a draw routine and loop
that modifies the rect and matrix for the copy.

It would definitely be an interesting test...

Re: [Flashcoders] Cross-domain Shared Objects

[Adrian Parr]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for replying. I've been playing around with shared objects this
afternoon and had 'some' success.

What I've done is ...

Created a very small SWF that just creates the shared object instance, and
has two functions inside it. The first function writes the required data to
the shared object and the second function reads the required data from the
shared object.

I then load this SWF in to my main online SWF using loadMovie, and when I
want to store the data I call the first function inside the loaded SWF. This
creates a shared object on the computer in the folder path the mirrors the
location and filename of the small SWF (not the main SWF).

Finally, in my local screensaver EXE/SWF I load the small SWF in from the
online location using loadMovie again (requires Internet access) and call
the second function that read the data back. Because this is the exact same
file that wrote it in the first place it finds the shared object.

I have used allowDomain in a few places just to make sure. I will try
removing some of these and see what happens.

It the moment it seems to work. I have created a screensaver using SWF
Studio 3.2 and it is reading in data that was created by my online app!!

Still much testing to be done though.

Ta,

Adrian

[Flashcoders] Transparent window in Zinc lowers framerate

[Clive R Sweeney]

[Hope it's okay to ask a Zinc question.]

With zinc 2.5, we are trying to use a transparent window so that the 
background isn’t visible. We can’t use a mask because the movie changes 
size via a tween. The problem is that when we use transparency, the FPS 
drops to about 5 so it really stutters along. Is there a way to access 
the mask for a form via script, or a way to increase the FPS when 
transparent? Thanks for your help.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flipping Effect...

[Zeh Fernando]

Looking to create this effect: http://www.element79.com
I've been using AnimationPackage to do programmatic flips and scales
But sadly I can't get the smooth effect you get using the timeline.
Anybody know of any animation tutorials on this. I'm tempted to do it in
After Effects and import into flash.


Just because I'm an effect nazi, this effect is wrong. It's rotating the 
card but the image is not skewed accordingly. So if you try to replicate 
it you'll end up with something much less cooler than it could be.


Anyhow, to create real rotating planes, I'd advice you to use some 3d 
rendering class (for example, PaperVision3D or Sandy) to create a plane, 
and then using some animation class or extension that allows you to 
rotate the plane accordingly (Tweener, TweenLite, Animation System v2.0, 
maybe AnimationPackage itself, Fuse Kit, etc).


Of course it's not easy or fast to absorb that much new stuff, but after 
that's done, I'm guessing just a half-dozen lines would do the trick 
quite easily: create the scene, setup camera as needed, create the plane 
inside of it, attach the image texture to it, then rotate it. It's not 
very CPU intensive either, and would work on AS2 and AS3, Flash 8+.


PaperVision3D examples would help you understanding the concept better, 
I think.


Hope that helps,
Zeh

[Flashcoders] Application Structure - Flash Remoting & MovieClipLoader

[Richard Mueller]

I'm building an application that is going to use Flash Remoting very 
heavily.  I'm wondering how I should structure my Service 
connections.  Should I put them in each(several) loaded movies or in the 
root timeline where any loaded move can access them.  The latter would 
cause issues when trying to test each movie individually.  But by putting 
the Service connections in each movie would require imports needed for FR 
at the top..


Also, I'm new to using the moviecliploader.  I have a few functioning 
properly, however, is it wise to try and create a "smart" loader?  Meaning 
use one loader and zip when the zip.swf is loaded and zag with zag.swf.  Or 
should I just accept, and get in the habit of using a zip loader and a zag 
loader separately, meaning each loader simply serve a specific function.


Richard

Re: [Flashcoders] Movieclip.onLoad and onClipEvent :S

[Dennis - I Sioux]

In the small test i'm setting an onLoad from the frame script where the mc

If i'm not mistaken frame script is run first before the mc appears then.

Anyway.. the onLoad will give a trace when i put script (even just "//") on 
the mc itself .. otherwise it won't call the onLoad.

Hi,

am I right in thinking you are putting a movieclip on the stage and try to
overwrite its onLoad function?

By the time the object is available for you to act upon, its onLoad is
already executed, so overwriting it is no use.

But asfar as i can see.. when i put an onLoad on a mc.. it will only be
called if i put script on the mc itself.. even if it is just comment.
Can anyone explain this? Or is this an old subject?

the Script (if there is any:-D) .. :

this.test_mc.onLoad = function(){
trace("onLoad");
}

set a test_mc movieclip on the stage
then run it.. .. nothing happens.
Select the test_mc ..  put "//" on it in the action panel..
And.. you get a trace.

Anyone? Or is there a way to dynamically put the onClipEvent(load) on it?

Re: [Flashcoders] Movieclip.onLoad and onClipEvent :S

[Hans Wichman]

Hi,
what i meant was:

If you do:
this.test_mc.onLoad = function(){
trace("onLoad");
}

Then the test_mc is either there or not. If it's there, it has been loaded
already and you are overwriting the function after the fact. If it's not
there.. well it's not there...

At least that is how I think it works. I never use it myself so i might be
wrong :)

If i'm not mistaken frame script is run first before the mc appears then.

Anyway.. the onLoad will give a trace when i put script (even just "//")
on
the mc itself .. otherwise it won't call the onLoad.

Re: [Flashcoders] Simplify point collection

[ben gomez farrell]

I haven't tried this myself, but I think one of the major ways to smooth 
lines is to do so by checking angles.


So look at point 1 and point 3.  These points create the hypotenuse of a 
triangle, and points 1, 2 and 2, 3 create the legs of the triangle.  If 
you use some basic trig you can find the angle that is created by the 
two legs of the triangle.  If the angle is insignificant like less than 
2 degrees or 5 degrees or something, then you can drop point 2 from your 
list.


does that help?

E.g. take these lines

I now have to say, moveTo startPoint, then lineTo endPoint for each

2 lineTo's.
That saves 2 moveTo's. Another optimisation which would be great is, if

To filter out a lot of lines and only draw the ones that are needed for

Sounds like a bad idea: if they remove the sharedObject in some way, their
screensaver will lose all its data. Is there no way for Screentime to give
access to screensaver properties that are accessed in the screensaver
dialogue box? That's where this info *ought* to be stored!

Re: [Flashcoders] Movieclip.onLoad and onClipEvent :S

[Hans Wichman]

Hi,

am I right in thinking you are putting a movieclip on the stage and try to
overwrite its onLoad function?

By the time the object is available for you to act upon, its onLoad is
already executed, so overwriting it is no use.

In other languages, Arrays are forced to have a single data type, but not in
AS. Still, what you've got there looks a lot more like something that should
be an object to me. What's more, if you're using switch() that's often a
sign that you've not organised your information very well (not always, but
it rings warning bells for me)

I can't quite tell from your post whether you've solved the problem or not!
If not, my guess is that the animation.update() call is triggering the other
update events. Any chance the _gameScene object has found its way into
elements. Have you tried the debugger?

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 SWC Component assets not exporting

[Muzak]

Works fine here.

When I first tried this with an AS2 swc created in FCS3, attaching assets that 
were in the 2nd frame didn't work for some reason.
The assets were there, I could see them in live preview (on stage) but when 
compiling nothing showed up (part from the bounding box 
that was in frame 1).
I then tinkered a bit with the settings in the "Component Definition" window 
(right click movieclip in library)
Selected all the available checkboxes (Parameters are locked in instances, 
Display in Components Panel, etc..)
For the assets (the ones dropped in 2nd frame of component) I also unchecked 
"export in first frame".
After that it started working.

I'm not sure which alteration actually made it work (Component Definition or 
Export in first frame).

That was an AS2 swc. When trying an AS3 swc, it worked right away.. didn't need 
to do any of the above.

Muzak

Hi Mario,

pretty cool!
Only thing is that its taking me to long to navigate.
I always like to have list that i can click 1,2,3. On your site the menu
moves in, i click something and the whole page disappears, no matter if I
hold down shift or not.
Could you open all the links in a new window?

Besides that, cool stuff on there:))
