Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 singleton not working across multiple loaded swf
I've never had that problem. To avoid conflicts between classes of loaded swf's, I usually set the loader context to the current domain of the loading SWF, maybe it helps in your case too.

[Flashcoders] Question on garbage collection
Hello List,
I have two classes Time and Clock, see below. To get good encapsulation,
in the Time class I added a function called clone(). This returns a copy
of the Time instance, instead of a reference to it.
Now I run the code, using an interval that calls the
Clock.getElepasedTime(). While watching the Memory I can see it build
up. Does this mean that with every clone of the Time object it still
holds a reference and therefore doesnt get deleted by the garbage collector.
Hope somebody can enlighten me..

Re: [Flashcoders] Question on garbage collection
Thanks for your reply Bob, it is for AS2. I read a lot of articles about
it and understand the general concept. That is why I post the question.
If I understood correctly the posted code should not leave any objects
unreferenced and therefor cleared for deleting.
But the memory goes up anyway. I tested it with only this two classes
instantiated and nothing else.
I am hoping somebody can take a look at the code I posted and give me
the reassurence that I am doing things correctly.

Re: [Flashcoders] jsfl aligning movieclip symbols to top left
I've just been writing a tonne of JSFL scripts for a project so have done a
lot of this. Here's a few generic lines grabbed form some of my scripts...
code
var focussedDoc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var targetLibrary = focussedDoc.library;
var selectedItems = targetLibrary.getSelectedItems();
for( i = 0; i selectedItems.length; i++ ) {
targetLibrary.editItem( selectedItems[i].name );
var editingTimeline = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
for( e = 0; e editingTimeline.layers[0].frames[0].elements.length; e++ ) {
var currentElement = editingTimeline.layers[0].frames[0].elements[e];
currentElement.x = 0 + currentElement.width/2;
currentElement.y = 0 + currentElement.height/2;
}
}
focussedDoc.exitEditMode();
/code
To use this:
1) Select all the symbols in the library you would like to align
2) run the command
Note:
- It assumes that each library symbol consists of only a single frame and a
single layer. If there are more layers and frames you'll need to iterate
through each of them using the editingTimeline.layers and
editingTimeline.layers[x].frames arrays.
- It will align all elements on a single frame so the top left corners of
their bounding boxes are at 0,0
- all raw shapes on a single frame are treated as a single element. They
need to be grouped or converted to symbols to be treated individually by
JSFL
- it will return your editing focus to the main timeline upon completion
Without knowing more about the exact structure of your symbols it's a little
difficult to be more precise with the code but this should give you the
basics you need to customise your own script.

Re: [Flashcoders] PHP and Flash weirdness...
while working on a flash / php job recently, i was told to use charles which tells you exactly what is happening between flash and the php scripts don't know if it will help if php isn't working at all tho - have you tried a simple echo 'hello world' type deal to make sure it's working?

I have set the CGI scripting to Active and have chosen php4 as the default version. there is no error recorded in the error log (0 bytes) and the access log does not show any thing about the throwing of a 500 error. One should see a banner at the top of the page saying YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH, and a Today's Specials button should show vitamin bottles all loaded with php scripts. The scripts are ok because they run on my own website which has just been moved to the new v.3 platform at ipowerweb.com yesterday. even a simple php script that just echos a one word string will not work on the teeka.ipower.com server. The message I see when trying to run a simple script is: The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log. I get the same error with IE and Firefox. But on different computer it seems to work!?!?. Why would the flash / php work on a different server when viewed on my computer but not on another, or on a different computer from the same server? (Works at boyd-speer.com/A1/a1ii.html) Any insights greatly appreciated.

[Flashcoders] Flex Builder and git
Ola, I thought some of you might be interested in this. Before starting a little Actionscript project in FB, I installed git, the newest craze in source version control. I saw a bunch of netizens freaking out about it all over the place, and the ability to create branches effortlessly and to back up things easily appealed to me. So after a relatively painless install on my Mac, I had it going in the Terminal. I then started to experiment in FB. I created an Actionscript project, and then started a git repository in that folder (using basically only these commands: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html -- Individual Developer (Standalone)). I wrote the basic engine for the swf and then created a new branch for guiing up this engine. At this point I saw the power in this approach. Basically, when I switch from the engine branch to the GUI branch, the AS code is updated in FB, quickly and correctly, which I sort of expected. But not only that, all the external assets are then loaded into the project. Furthermore as long as I keep committing changes to branches at important intervals, or new branches for new approaches/ideas, I have a complete annotated history of the project. I can load in any code at any point I committed and keep dead ends that might prove useful in some other project, or redo the gui for another swf some other day, and everything, including images and even compiled swfs, are loaded in as well. Dirt cheap and easy. I don't know, this is freaking me out, it is so good.

Re: [Flashcoders] print function in AS2
Hi Maurice, I highly recommend you to take a look on PrintJob class. It will give you much more control and make your life easier. I'm not sure, but I remember that was an issue with the print function and layer-masks (and a lot of other stuff too). But I don't know how complicated will be for you debug and test this. A simple and fast solution would be generate a Bitmap of the screen (like a print-screen) before printing. And then you just dispose the object. I hope this helps you to figure out an solution.

I've used bframe, bmax, and bmovie where I instantiated #p at the first frame and still no luck.
