I think the moderator's policy is... no. Hopefully S/he will chime in.

I personally wouldn't object to an freelancer telling us s/he's available for 
work. In fact, it probably would be a service to the coders here--there have 
been times I've been swamped and looking for a reliable third hand.

But not professional recruiters.

My 2 ¥

Cordially,

Re: [Flashcoders] coding a world clock

[John VanHorn]

yes, the flash Date object provides all the necessary properties to
calculate the time for different time zones, but it still wont be accurate
if the user's clock is off.

for more accuracy, youll need to have the time from the server. this should
be simple to do with any server side language. in php, you can use the
date('U') function or the time() function, which will both give you the Unix
timestamp - the number of seconds that have passed since 12am January 1,
1970. you can pass that into your swf using flashvars. you can then create a
Date object based off of that value. just note that (in php, at least) the
value is seconds, and the flash Date object uses milliseconds. oh, and load
time of your swf may cause that to be off a little. if thats a problem, you
could store it in a javascript Date object, and then grab the value when
youre ready for it.

[Flashcoders] Drawing Shapes

[macromedia flash]

Hi there I am going to use AS3 to draw the box as below... you can download
the shapes.swf file here

http://www.2shared.com/file/2247730/b78a543a/shape.html?


I have already figured out the border and gradient shape, but when I try to
combine them together, the gradient is gone any idea or good ways to
handle this?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH


 HOW to test the code ==

1. Paste the class example code into a new AS file and give the file the
same name as the primary class (for example: GraphicsExample.as).
2. Create and save a new empty FLA file in the same directory as the AS
file.
3. In the Properties tab of the Property inspector enter the class name of
the primary class for the example in the Document class text box (for
example: GraphicsExample).
4. Save your changes to the FLA file.
5. Test the movie using the Control > Test Movie menu option.
===


 AS3 Code ==
package {
import flash.display.DisplayObject ;
import flash.display.Graphics;
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.display.Sprite;

private var cornerRadius:uint = 6;
private var gutter:uint   = 5;
private var xPostion:int  = 20;
private var yPostion:int  = 20;

child.graphics.drawRoundRect(xPostion, yPostion, shapeWidth,
shapeHeight, cornerRadius);
child.graphics.endFill();
addChild(child);
//child.x=300;

Re: [Flashcoders] search engine optimization for flash sites

[John Dowdell]

First step: Figure out how people will likely try to find your website 
in the search engines.


(You will *always* remain invisible on search term "flower delivery", 
for instance... far too much competition. You might be able to place on 
"'flower delivery' 'san francisco' haight-ashbury", though.)


Once you know the plausible queries on which you can compete, make sure 
that your HTML markup contains the proper clues (TITLE, metadata, body 
text containing your term), then make a spider-guiding sitemap:

http://sitemaps.org/

... and after that, work on getting inbound links whose anchor text 
reflects the search terms on which you wish to compete. (Inbound links 
do a lot for final search-engine placement... search up "talentless 
hack" or "miserable failure" to learn more about this.)


The "binary SWF" line is a red herring. Google has pulled text out of 
SWF for years, just like it does for HTML. It won't know that a picture 
of a rose is a rose -- whether in SWF or JPG -- unless you provide those 
alphanumerics somewhere else in the presentation.


Choosing your target search terms is the hard part, and the one which 
most clients do not understand. A small business finds it hard to break 
through all the noise and gaming of the search engines today, but 
targeting the plausible search terms on which you can realistically 
compete is the very first step.

As I recall, duplication in AS2 wasn't really duplication--just
instantiation of the same symbol and its associated class. In AS3 you
can do the same thing a bit differently:

import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;

function duplicateDisplayObject(original:DisplayObject,
parent:DisplayObjectContainer, name:String):DisplayObject {
var originalClass:Class =
getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(original));
var duplicate:DisplayObject = new originalClass() as DisplayObject;
duplicate.name = name;
parent.addChild(duplicate);
return duplicate;
}

NOTE: I haven't tested this.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 UI Bug

[Muzak]

This is what I saw when I opened a project file this morning:
http://muzakdeezign.com/flashcoders/fcs3_ui_bug.jpg

Other UI bugs I've encountered:

- When opening Library or Project Panel (at the right) they're partly hiden 
behind the Properties and Help Panel (at the bottom) and 
the only way to fix it is to restart Flash.
- When testing an application which opens a Browse File dialog 
(FileReference.browse()), the application and Browse File dialog 
dissapear (behind the Flash IDE).
- Same problem Steven described when testing an application.. The test movie 
window is hidden behind certain UI panels. Once this 
behavior kicks in, the only way to solve it is to restart Flash.

regards,
Muzak

Re: [Flashcoders] search engine optimization for flash sites

[Muzak]

Have you looked into the Flash Search Enginde SDK?
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16603&sliceId=1

>From the FAQ:
http://www.adobe.com/licensing/developer/search/faq/

The SDK includes an application named 'swf2html'. Swf2html extracts text and 
links from a Flash .SWF file, and returns the data to 
stdout or as an HTML document. Swf2html is provided as a compiled application, 
and as a static library for linked library 
implementation.


You can get the SDK after agreeing the licence

Nice to know I'm not alone in experiencing this buggy behavior.

Giles Taylor, consider yourself lucky that you don't have the bug.

By the way, I have a brand spankin new clean install of Windows XP SP2

Re: [Flashcoders] coding a world clock

[Marcelo Volmaro]

I took that data from various sources. I'm using that for my own clock  
too, and also have a function that, taking a "position" (first, second,  
third, etc), a month and "day" can calculate the real date when a DST  
occurs (for example, you feed "first Friday of may" or "last Monday of  
December" and it returns the correct date for a specific year).


I have a list of DST/Timezones per location, but did not converted to AS  
(I have some XML files). The problem is that the list is a big one,  
because the list is compromised of:

a) Countries
b) Regions
c) States
d) Cities.

Usually, you can trim down the list a lot, since almost all cities in a  
country have the same TZ/DST, but that's not the case for the US. In fact,  
you have some cities on the same state that have different TZ.


You can get the complete list from:

http://www.isi.edu/~pan/SWBP/time-zone-note/time-zone-note.html

The problem with that list is that the dates specified for the start/end  
of DST is that are tied to a specific year and usually you need to wait  
until someone updates that list... so I coded the following list that has  
all the info necessary to do the calcs:


private static const dstPolicies:Object = {
USADLS:new DstPolicy(1,0,4, -1,0,10),
EUDLS:new DstPolicy(-1,0,3, -1,0,10),
AU2003DLS:new DstPolicy(-1,0,10, -1,0,3),
AUTDLS:new DstPolicy(1,1,10, -1,0,3),
RUDLS:new DstPolicy(-1,0,3, -1,0,10),
EGDLS:new DstPolicy(-1,5,4, -1,4,9),
IRDLS:new DstPolicy(-1,6,3, -1,1,9),
IQDLS:new DstPolicy(255, 1,4, 255, 1,10),
ILDLS:new DstPolicy(-1,4,3, 1,4,10),
JODLS:new DstPolicy(-1,3,3, -1,4,10),
NADLS:new DstPolicy(1,0,9, 1,0,4),
PKDLS:new DstPolicy(1,6,4, 1,6,10),
SYDLS:new DstPolicy(255,30,3, 255,21,9),
CLDLS:new DstPolicy(2,0,10, 2,0,3),
CLEDLS:new DstPolicy(2,5,10, 2,6,3),
NZDLS:new DstPolicy(1,0,10, 3,0,3),
PYDLS:new DstPolicy(1,0,9, 1,0,4),
FKDLS:new DstPolicy(1,0,9, -1,0,4)
};

Where the first number is the position (1: first, -1:last, 255: straight  
date), the second and the third are the day/month.
If the position is 255, the date is a straight day/month date, so for  
example for IRAQ the start date is April 1.


The formulas for the calcs are:

/**
 * @param y:int Year
 * @param m:int Month (0 - 11)
		 * @param n:int Day of the week (0 for a Sunday, 1 for a Monday, 2 for a  
Tuesday, etc)

 * @param w:int Occurence (1:first, 2:second, 3:third, 
4:fourth, -1:last)
 * @return real day of the month where the DST starts/ends
 *
 * first friday = w:1, n:5
 * third monday = w:3, n:1
 * last monday = w:-1, n:1
 */

private static function calcStartEnd(y:int, m:int, n:int, 
w:int):int{
if (w < 0){
var nd:Number = (new Date(y, m, 0)).getDate();
var diff:Number = (getDayOfWeek(y, m+1, nd) - 
n) % 7;
if (diff < 0) diff += 7;
return nd-diff;
}

var nq:int = 7 * w - 6 + (n - getDayOfWeek(y, m+1, 1)) 
% 7;
if (nq < 1) nq += 7;

return nq;
}

/**
 * @param y:int Year
 * @param m:int Month (1 - 12)
 * @param d:int Day (1 - 31)
 * @return 0 for a Sunday, 1 for a Monday, 2 for a Tuesday, etc.
 */

private static function getDayOfWeek(y:int, m:int, d:int):int{
var a:int = int((14 - m) / 12);
y -= a;
m += 12 * a - 2;
			var r:int =  (d + y + int(y/4) - int(y/100) + int(y/400)  
+ int((31*m)/12))%7;

if (r < 0) {
return 7+r;

} else {
return r;
}
}



Hope it helps...

It's in CS3 now. I'll save a Flash 8 version and put it up. Check in 10

Also, code is in the separate mc's for each clock, not on the first frame,

Re: [Flashcoders] Copy and paste a movieClip?

[JulianG]

Yes.
As far as I know you can't duplicate movieclips into a container other 
than the original one.
You could try attachMovie if you need to use the same movieclip symbol 
in different places.


In any case, when you duplicate a movieclip, you don't get a clone of 
the current state of the object. You get a new instance of the same 
symbol. This means (for instance) that it doesn't matter if your 
movieclip-to-be-cloned was playing around frame #30, your duplicated MC 
will always start from frame 1. And if you had set any variables on the 
first MC, the duplicated won't keep those values either.


I hope this helps,
JulianG

Re: [Flashcoders] Can't access

[Andy Herrman]

My guess is that your "this" variable is getting mixed up.  I'm not
familiar with the "Delegate.function" usage, but that function may be
being called with a scope you're not expecting.

Try just using a regular function there.  You've already set up the
'ref' member of the 'swfListen' object, so 'this.ref' should give you
what you want.

appears since these many rows can't fit in one shot. 

When I print this movie, the rows which were visible from the DataGrid only
get printed. What if I want to print the entire DataGrid(all 70 rows)?

 

 

peace, veiky

RE: [Flashcoders] search engine optimization for flash sites

[Benny]

Hi Robin,

Google DOES index flash content (out of the box) but there are some
limitations. The biggest one is that Google only indexes the text and links
that are embedded in the swf. So dynamically loaded content will NOT be
indexed.

Therefore most pro's will go another direction, the one of 'progressive
enhancement'. This means you first build the html version of your site
(inclusive internal linking) and build your swf in such way that it loads
that same content. Then you setup your index page with SWFObject. This will
first load the html version of your site in a div and immediately overwrites
that div with the flash version (i.e. if possible). 

Now if a indexing robot visits your site they will only get as far as the
html version, because they don't pass  SWFObject's flash detection check. 

Don’t forget to disallow indexing of your swf through an entry in your
robots.txt file. 

Regards,
Benny

P.S. SWFAddress (or alternatives) is not persé needed for good SEO but does
have a positive effect on the accessibility and user experience of your
site. Another benefit of SWFAddress is it's deep linking capability. So if
someone finds any page of your site in Google you can direct them to the
exact spot in your swf site, without deep linking the will always end up at
the start section of your swf site.

[Flashcoders] Can't access

[Lee Marshall]

I am trying to construct a class that loads in an external SWF. I have a
movieclip in the external SWF called 'closer_mc' which I cannot get
access to. I keep getting undefined in my output. Can anyone suggest
anything?

 

Cheers

 

Code:

 

class PopupIll {

//Initialise variables

public var t:MovieClip;

public var a:MovieClip;

public var closer_mc:MovieClip;

public var popX:Number;

public var popY:Number;

public var popMovie:String;

//Constructor function

public function PopupIll(movieName:String, target:MovieClip,
newX:Number, newY:Number, depth:Number, a:MovieClip) {

t = target;

t._x = newX;

t._y = newY;

var swfListen:Object = new Object();

swfListen.ref = t;

swfListen.ref2 = t.closer_mc;

//Create listener object

var swfMCLoader:MovieClipLoader = new
MovieClipLoader();

//Create MovieClipLoader

swfListen.onLoadError =
function(target_mc:MovieClip, errorCode:String, status:Number) {

trace("Error loading image:
"+errorCode);

};

swfListen.onLoadStart =
function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void  {

//trace("onLoadStart: " +
target_mc);

};

swfListen.onLoadProgress =
function(target_mc:MovieClip, numBytesLoaded:Number,
numBytesTotal:Number):Void  {

var numPercentLoaded:Number =
numBytesLoaded/numBytesTotal*100;

//trace("onLoadProgress: " +
target_mc + " is " + numPercentLoaded + "% loaded");

};

swfListen.onLoadComplete =
Delegate.function(target_mc:MovieClip, status:Number):Void  {

//trace("onLoadComplete: " +
target_mc);

 
//swfMCLoader.unloadClip(illHolder_mc);

trace(this.ref.closer_mc);

this.ref.closer_mc._x = 100;

this.ref.closer_mc.onRelease =
function() {

 
this.ref.removeMovieClip();

};

 
//swfMCLoader.removeListener(swfListen);

};

swfMCLoader.addListener(swfListen);

swfMCLoader.loadClip(movieName,t);

}

}

SWFAddress is not only the back and fwd button access, it has the ability
for deep linking in search engines. Read the documentation on it, there's
a lot more to it... it's very good!

Re: [Flashcoders] search engine optimization for flash sites

[dr.ache]

Best way would be saving your content in a database or xml and generate
a html pages from it. the same content will be loaded inside flash. thus
search engines can crawl your html pages which show the same content
as your flash site.

[Flashcoders] search engine optimization for flash sites

[Robin Burrer]

Hi there,

My client wants to have  his website optimized for search engines.
I don't know much about this topic. The binary data of a flash file can't
obviously be read by
a search engine though.

I have this idea to create a html site map for my flash page. Basically this
site map would have
short summaries of all flash pages and links to these pages (e.g.
http://myDomain.com/myflashPgae.htm?page =home).
The search engines should then be able to find the site map page.

Ideally this site page would be generated  dynamically. But for now a static
page will do.

Does anybody have experience with such an approach?

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Robin
