[Flashcoders] This list is acting up again?

[Merrill, Jason]

Something up with this list again? The reply below took 13 and 1/2 hours
to post, and when it did, the timestamp of when it was supposedly sent
was off by 8 hours.  He asked the question at 8:22am (at least according
to the timestamp), and I replied immediately around 8:30am but it didn't
post until 10pm Eastern.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Odd Blend Mode Problem

[Zeh Fernando]

There's a series of different problems that could be causing this. It 
depends on a lot of parameters and vary from player to player, from 
system to system.


Basically you have to force the entire region to be drawn so those areas 
won't be erased. Having a transparent box (100% transparency is ok) on 
top of the offending area can help, as well as having an empty filter 
(like a blur of 0) added to the object or the parent object.


There's no magic solution, you just got to try different things to force 
rendering to take place on those areas.


Zeh


I've got an API-drawn rectangle with a hairline stroke, with a blend mode
of 3. (Multiply)

When the rectangle clip is tweened over a bitmap, occasionally there are
'flickers' of a lighter color right at the edges, where the stroke would be.
I've tried no stroke, a 1px stroke...everything I could think of to remove
this flicker. Anyone else experience this or have an idea why it's
happening?

[Flashcoders] Re: Odd Blend Mode Problem

[Mark Hawley]

Forcing the width and height of the clip to remain an integer during the
tweens fixed the problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple compression algo?

[Juan Pablo Califano]

>>>I don't think it's assigning the string that's slow. It's calling
sendAndLoad that is slow, because I think when you make the call the data is
urlencoded or something

Yes, you're probably right. I thought maybe the string was encoded as soon
as it assigned, but it makes more sense that the encoding is done when the
data is actually sent.

If you're code already works, great, go with it. I was just suggesting
another approach, but I understand what you mean. You've invested
a considerable time on it and already works pretty good for your actual
needs, so it makes no sense to try another method that could be worse
performance-wise.

I've taken a glimpse at your code, by the way. I like that it's simple and
neat, but I was thinking that maybe you could avoid the first loop, by just
adding an else to the main if in the second loop. Not sure if it'll make a
noticeable difference in performance, since assigning an empty string to an
array element is fast, but you'll be saving almost 100.000 iterations (on a
320 x 300 image).

Something like this:

  comp[0] = orig[0];
  var lastEqualIndex = 0;
  for(var i = 1; i < l; i++){
if(orig[i] != comp[lastEqualIndex]){
  //new color
  comp[i] = orig[i];
  lastEqualIndex = i;
} else {
  comp[i] = "";
}
  }
  return comp;
}

All in all, it's a good and simple solution!

[Flashcoders] AS3 receiving mouse event on overlap sibling sprite

[Martin Tremblay]

Hi,

Trying to have two sibling sprite that overlap receive mouse
event in the section that overlap. Is that possible?

code:

package
{
import flash.display.*
import flash.events.*;

public class MouseEventTwoMC extends MovieClip
{
public function MouseEventTwoMC ()
{
var sp1:Sprite = createCircle(100, 100);
var sp2:Sprite = createCircle(150, 100);

addChild(sp1);
addChild(sp2);  
}


public function createCircle (_nX:Number,
_nY:Number):Sprite
{
var spriteCircle:Sprite = new Sprite();
spriteCircle.addEventListener
(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onROver);
spriteCircle.addEventListener
(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onROut);
spriteCircle.x = _nX;
spriteCircle.y = _nY;

spriteCircle.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x22, 1);
spriteCircle.graphics.beginFill(0x3CC4C4, 1);
spriteCircle.graphics.drawCircle(0,0, 75);
spriteCircle.graphics.endFill();

spriteCircle.alpha = 0.3;

return spriteCircle;
}


public function onROver (_event:MouseEvent):void
{

_event.target.alpha = 0.1;
}

public function onROut (_event:MouseEvent):void
{
_event.target.alpha = 0.3;

}

}
}

[Flashcoders] Fullscreen keyboard input

[JulianG]

Hi!

I did this pong game 
(http://www.pixeltoys.net/2008/01/29/actionscript-3-pong.html) just to 
try AS3.

The game can be controlled using the keyboard or the mouse.

then I tried the full-screen feature just to learn that:
"Users cannot enter text in text input fields while in full-screen mode. 
All keyboard input and key-related ActionScript is disabled while in 
full-screen mode, with the exception of the keyboard shortcuts that take 
the viewer out of full-screen mode." (source 
)


I can still have users play using the mouse, but is there a known 
workaround for this limitation?


thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] DataGrid: Extra Row

[Andy Herrman]

You say your loop is going the correct amount of times, but have you
checked the array?  Try looping over the array and tracing all the
elements (along with the length of the array).  Does what you get
match what you expect?

[Mark Lapasa]

Wow, thx Erik. Great answer! I buy into that. -mL

EECOLOR wrote:

I believe it's type * so you should cast it.



This has nothing to do with that, hehe. There is a tiny difference beween
ClassToCastTo(value) and (value as ClassToCastTo). In the first case a
compiler error will be thrown. In the second case the cast will be tried. If
it fails the resulting value will be a null value.

  

why is -it- working



The pop method is typed as Object. Object is a dynamic class which means you
can add properties at
runtime. This in turn means that the compiler can not complain about
you calling a property that might not exist as you might be adding it
'dynamically' before you call it,

Yes, one would think so.

I can't answer your question, either, but can't help but note that in
haXe you would declare your array as Array. The compiler
wouldn't let you put anything else into it, and likewise, everything
you'd pull out would be of type MyClass. haXe has a great type system
(including implied types and type templates), so if you're the kind of
coder that wonders about issues like that, I recommend you have a llok

Re: [Flashcoders] urgent angle problem

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

You make both values absolute and calculate your angle, then 
subtract 90 from the degrees.


   You have to detect whether adj  is negative and if so, add 180 to 
your angle or something similar if I remember...


var adjside:Number = watchX - originX;
   var oppside:Number = -1*(watchY - originY);
   var angle:Number = Math.atan2(Math.abs(oppside), Math.abs(adjside)); 
// in radians
   var angle:Number = Math.round(angle/Math.PI*180) - 90; // convert to 
degrees
  
   if(0 > adside) {

  angle += 180;
   }

   var angle:Number = -1*(angle); // invert

RE: [Flashcoders] urgent angle problem

[Steve Abaffy]

Just add 360 that should do it. But I wander if in your code you have if
(angle << 0) shouldn't that be if (angle < 0)???

[Flashcoders] Odd Blend Mode Problem

[Mark Hawley]

I've got an API-drawn rectangle with a hairline stroke, with a blend mode of
3. (Multiply)

When the rectangle clip is tweened over a bitmap, occasionally there are
'flickers' of a lighter color right at the edges, where the stroke would be.
I've tried no stroke, a 1px stroke...everything I could think of to remove
this flicker. Anyone else experience this or have an idea why it's
happening?

Exported at Flash 8 in CS3.

Re: [Flashcoders] Insert new symbol

[Sidney de Koning]

if you load your image in with a MovieClipLoader (prolly the best way to 
go), you can position the image, only with the onLoadInit handler.
Only then will you know the dimensions of the loaded in image. the you 
can shift it x of image = width of image * 0.5


something like this (AS2 example):

var containerClip:MovieClip = this.attachMovieClip("emptyClipFromLib", 
"emptyClipFromLib" this.getNextHighestDepth());

var mclListener:Object = new Object();
var imageMcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
imageMcl.addListener(mclListener);
imageMcl.loadClip("images/image1.jpg", containerClip);

trace("the clip width: " + containerClip._width);

mclListener.onLoadInit = function(targetClip:MovieClip) {
   trace("the clip width: " + targetClip._width);
};

Hope this helps,

Sid

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple compression algo?

[Dave Mennenoh]

Hi Juan - I don't think it's assigning the string that's slow. It's calling 
sendAndLoad that is slow, because I think when you make the call the data is 
urlencoded or something. I've already found that, and am not calling it. I 
was simply outputting the before and after string lengths to see how Base64 
and LZW worked. Could be the class I was using, but either way it was way 
too slow to be useful to me. My simple array compressor is nearly instant 
and on some images it's getting me an 80%+ reduction in the array size, 
which is more than enough for my needs. On average it's only around a 20% or 
so reduction, but that's still good enough as my images are not very big.
I think you're idea is great, and for AS3 a definite, but in AS2 I fear it's 
just going to be too slow. Plus, I've already spent far too long on this 
little aside and should be moving on, though I do enjoy these kinds of 
things. If you want to see some of my test results, I posted a little 
article on my blog: www.dmennenoh.blogspot.com
