Hi J.Bach,

It would be interesting to see/hear how you get along with this if you
can post a link back here when it's done?

Thanks,

Use PV3D. Just create a couple of planes, place them on the correct 
position, rotate them, and you're done. Works with AS2 and AS3 and 
should be something pretty simple as long as you understand the concept 
of 3d space and cameras.

Basically true, though unique components can be created in Flex/AS3  
as well, the process is a bit harder.

Check out the "FlexComponentKit", which I think is still on  
labs.adobe.com as a beta. It allows you to wrap MovieClips into a  
UIComponent in Flash, export them as an SWC, and reference them in  
Flex. Works really really well, and takes a lot of the effort out of  
the process of doing it in other ways.

[Flashcoders] Integrating Flash SWFs with Flex

[matt stuehler]

All,

I'm working on a project for a client - my assignment is essentially
to develop an interactive charting widget with a number of unique
display options and behaviors.

Because of those unique features, I'm developing the SWF from scratch,
instead of modifying an existing pre-developed component.

My plan is that the chart widget will be a single SWF, which the
client will be able to embed in any HTML page.

Two questions -

1. The client has asked about the feasibility of developing this in
Flex instead of Flash. Since I'm only beginning to learn Flex, I can't
really answer this. But my simplistic understanding is that, at a high
level, Flex is a language for tying together individual Flash
components into an overall UI/RIA. So, if you're building a low-level
highly customized, unique "component" - Flash is the right tool for
that, not Flex. Is this correct?

2. Assuming 1. is correct, what special considerations are there for
developing a Flash movie/widget/component that might be embedded in an
HTML page, AND/OR used within a Flex application?

Many thanks in advance for your advice and insight!

Cheers,
Matt

Re: [Flashcoders] Q: loop speed AS2 and AS3

[Andy Herrman]

Wow.  I know Flash 9 was faster than 8, but I didn't realize it was
that big a difference.

Anyone know what the difference is in image processing speed?  I've
been looking at porting an application we have to Flash that does a
bunch of image processing (needs to be able to download raw image data
at runtime, decompress it and then render it) but from what I heard
from other Flash users Flash 7/8 isn't fast enough to handle that.

Re: [Flashcoders] EventDispatcher and Delegate not working in flash develop...

[eka]

Hello :)

if you want use only EventDispatcher class and not the adobe mx components
V2... you can use my event model in my opensource framework :

VEGAS page project : http://code.google.com/p/vegas/
Install the sources :
http://code.google.com/p/vegas/wiki/InstallVEGASwithSVN

Tutorials about event model :
http://code.google.com/p/vegas/wiki/VegasTutorialsEvents

For me the AS2 EventDispatcher class of Adobe(Macromedia) is realy poor to
implement applications.

My framework is MTASC compatible... you must add the AS2/trunk/src directory
in the classpaths of MTASC with the argument -cp :)

EKA+ :)

Hey Michael,

I've seen this happening before on different situations, but it's not 
very consistent - it basically depends on the number of objects piled on

top of each other, player version, amount of data on memory, etc. 
There's no sure way to trigger it, nor to fix it.

The only solution I've found is changing the way some of the objects are
rendered - either by using different blend modes, turning on
cacheAsBitmap, or applying dummy filters - just something to make it
"snap" out of the wrong rendering path. At one previous work I've even
found that if I had one transparent box on top of the offending area,
it'd force a complete redraw on every frame and fix the issue
completely.

Also, if you're using the beta player, well, it has a lot more of these
issues than the normal versions, so I wouldn't use it as a reference.


Zeh

Re: [Flashcoders] prevent bot updating voting

[Adrian Ionut Beschea]

with your flash, in your swf you can send an encrypted key together with the 
vote 

say you send a string like: 
str = MD5.encrypt("userID"+todayDate+someOtherStuff);

and then decode it in PHP 
There are MD5 classes for both actionscript and php. 

This is not 100% proof. Once the evil doer decompiles the swf he might figure 
what to send but if you obfuscate the code and maybe throw some misleading 
lines (eg userId stand in fact for date and date stands for user id) it might 
do the trick.
