Re: [Flashcoders] When is "1" not "1"?

[Dave Mennenoh]

When "1" had line feeds...

Well, I'm not quite sure how yet but somehow I'm getting a couple of line 
feeds in my def variable when it comes back to the LoadVars.onLoad.


I do:
$defUser = "1";
echo("&im=".$fName."&def=".$defUser);

But I found I get "1" plus a couple of line feeds...

I sure like AMFPHP a whole lot better.

[Flashcoders] When is "1" not "1"?

[Dave Mennenoh]

OK, it's late and I must be an idiot because I am not figuring this out. 
This is from an old project - where I used _global and frames.. hey it's 
like three years ago. :)


relevant PHP called with LoadVars:

$defUser = "1";
echo("&im=".$fName."&def=".$defUser);


And in Flash on frame A:

rv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
 if (success) {
  _global.userData.isDefault = this["def"];
 trace("isDefault: "+this["def"]);

It traces "isDefault: 1" as I expect it should...

Next Frame - frame B I go:

trace("_global.userData.isDefault: "+_global.userData.isDefault);
 if(_global.userData.isDefault == "1"){
  trace("_global.userData.isDefault == 1: true");
 }else{
  trace("_global.userData.isDefault == 1: false");
 }

It traces "_global.userData.isDefault: 1"

and: _global.userData.isDefault == 1: false

I cannot figure out why it isn't true. I have tried in my LoadVars doing: 
_global.userData.isDefault = String(this["def"]); to make sure it's "1", and 
I've tried testing for the number 1, but it's still false.


Service Capture shows the 1 being returned properly from PHP... maybe I 
should not use "1"...


WTH?

[Flashcoders] Is there any grid component in AS 3.0

[anuj sharma]

Hi All
I am looking for a grid container in AS 3.0. With my search I found that AS
3.0 supports Data Grid but for holding data not for visual layout
perspective. I am looking something for visual layout perspective. My aim is
that if user drops 4 objects on the main screen  and hits arrange button
then 4 objects will be arranged in a 2x2 grid format. Any ideas e(xcept to
manually specifying the coordinates) how would i do that and which container
i will use for that.

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars() under Director

Turns out that there is a bug in the way the trace() function sends

the trace -> Director interface that's broke.

[Flashcoders] Request some guidance

[anuj sharma]

Hi guys
I need some guidance from you. I almost reach the final stage of my project.
My scenario is I have multiple instances of UILoaders on the main stage. The
user can drag and drop those UILoaders wherever he wants on the main stage.
The user can put one on top to replace them too.I am successful in
implementing till now.I used AS 3.0. Finally i have to create a new
application using somehow the same code in which if user places UILoader on
top of already existing UILoader, the new UILoader does not get replaced but
moved/ gets away to give place to the placed video on the main stage. in
other words :- Let's say 4 UILoaders are placed in 2x2 matrix position on
the main stage and if you place 5th UILoader in center (on top) of all the 4
loaders, then all the 4 UIloaders will animate to bounce outwards to give
space to 5th UILoader. I used hitTestObject and hitTestPoint in my project
but I am not sure which way to go in this case. How would animation work in
this case and which is the best approach to tackle this kind of situation.
Anybody has any idea how would i do that?
Your help and guidance will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash is full of surprises. I will show you how to move movie-clip using a reference to another deleted clip.

[Glen Pike]

Sorry if I am speaking out of turn, but isn't this point a bit moot 
(redundant)?


How else would you expect to be able to attach movieclips and manipulate 
them in a loop as you would normally?


e.g.

function doClips() {
   var mc:MovieClip;

   for(var i = 0;i < 10;i++) {
  mc = attachMovie("star", "star_mc_" + i, getNextHighestDepth());
  //mc.removeClip();
  mx._x = 100 * i;
   }
  
   //would expect to manipulate the last one.

   mc._y = 100;
}

doClips();
//compile error, but would not work anyway.
mc._y = 200;
//would work.
star_mc_9._y = 200;

I bet the reference goes out of scope once you exit the function you are in?

If not, then that maybe a bug.

Glen

 'mc' is a "soft reference" to the Star instance.

 'mc' becomes a "dangling" reference, which means it'll be looking
 for a substitute with same target name when dereferenced.

 Dereferencing 'mc' here yelds the new Star insatnce, having
 the same target path as the original one.

[Flashcoders] Sound and Timer Class

[Helmut Granda]

Hi all,

I have a slight problem with the sound object and the Timer class. I
have a movie that loads sounds dynamically at random intervals. it works
perfect until the movie is reset.
Basically the user gets to stop the sounds and start all over. and
it starts fine until you reach the point where they left off before, say you
played sound 1, 2 and 3 was in cue when you stoped the movie, well next time
arround when the movie starts playing when it reaches sound 2 it starts
playing sound 3 at the same time, then the rest over lap 3 with 4 and 4 with
5 and so forth.

Here is a snippet of the class


var soundDelayed : Object ;
var sTimer : Timer ;

private function playSectionSound ( sound : Object , delay : Number
= 0  ) : void

{



if (delay > 0 )

{
soundDelayed = sound ;
sTimer= new Timer(( delay ), 1);
sTimer.start();
sTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, sTimerHandler);

} else {
soundDelayed = sound;
playVoiceOver ( soundDelayed ) ;

}

} ;

private function playVoiceOver ( vo : Object )

{
trace("PLAY VOICE OVER = " + vo)
volumeChannel = vo.play();

var transform: SoundTransform ;
transform = channel.soundTransform;

if (volumeStatus == "off")

{

transform.volume = 0;
volumeChannel.soundTransform = transform ;

}

} ;

Down the line to kill everything i call the following:

sTimer.stop();
sTimer.reset();
sTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, sTimerHandler);
soundDelayed = null

and it seems to work until the sound overlaps...

suggestions? TIA

hi

i'm making a cs3 projector which uses stage.displayState =  
StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN to go full screen. However when i  
checked in the help file, it said
"All keyboard-related ActionScript, such as keyboard events and  
text entry in TextField instances, is disabled in full-screen  
mode. The exception is the keyboard shortcuts that close full- 
screen mode."


This made me pretty worried about having limited to no  
functionality for my app if i made it full screen so i wrote this  
to test it:


assets on stage:
input text field called input_txt
dynamic text field called output_txt
button called button

code:

import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClickMethod);
function myClickMethod(e:Event):void {
output_txt.text = input_txt.text;
}

and this works absolutey fine.

I'm really confused. Is the reference in the help file only for  
browser-based full-screen commands? Is it for actionscript  
generated TextFields? If i go ahead with my app, am i going to  
come massively unstuck further down the line?


hope you can help

[Flashcoders] H.264 Video Loop problem

[Shant Parseghian]

Hi

I am streaming an H.264 mov and when the file finishes playing I use seek to
jump back to the beginning of the net stream to create a loop. There is a
slight hiccup when doing this. Is it because I am streaming and the player
needs to re-buffer? If I was streaming from Flash Media Server would I still
see this buffer? Is there any smooth way to loop a streamed video?

The docs are wrong.  Any Papervision 3D demo that goes fullscreen 
disproves that.  It wouldn't be the first time the Flash docs were

Sorry - to be clearer - using getRect() or getBounds() _on any object_
in c) returns undefined. If you write code in c) that calls getRect()
or getBounds() on b) e.g. _parent.getBounds(_parent) works fine.

Re: [Flashcoders] getBounds AS3/AS2 issue

[Ian Thomas]

Further to this, what looks like is happening is this:

There are 3 layers:

a) An AS3 App that instantiates/addChilds ->
b) An AS2 Shell _embedded_ within the AS3 App that loads ->
c) An AS2 .swf file.

a & b communicate using Grant Skinners SWFBridge, and have no problems
communicating.

Using MovieClip.getRect() or MovieClip.getBounds() within b) (or a, of
course) works fine.

Using MovieClip.getRect() or MovieClip.getBounds() within c) returns
undefined (at least, in my setup).

Running c) standalone, getRect() and getBounds() work fine.

All other code in c) and b) works fine.

At the moment it's looking like a player bug. Anyone got any other
ideas/things to test?

Cheers,
   Ian

Re: [Flashcoders] fullscreen keyboard functionality

[Cedric Muller]

Maybe it is only disabled when in browser mode ?


"These restrictions apply to the Flash plug-in and ActiveX control  
but not to the Flash stand-alone player or Flash projectors."

hi

i'm making a cs3 projector which uses stage.displayState =  
StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN to go full screen. However when i  
checked in the help file, it said
"All keyboard-related ActionScript, such as keyboard events and  
text entry in TextField instances, is disabled in full-screen mode.  
The exception is the keyboard shortcuts that close full-screen mode."


This made me pretty worried about having limited to no  
functionality for my app if i made it full screen so i wrote this  
to test it:


assets on stage:
input text field called input_txt
dynamic text field called output_txt
button called button

code:

import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClickMethod);
function myClickMethod(e:Event):void {
output_txt.text = input_txt.text;
}

and this works absolutey fine.

I'm really confused. Is the reference in the help file only for  
browser-based full-screen commands? Is it for actionscript  
generated TextFields? If i go ahead with my app, am i going to come  
massively unstuck further down the line?


hope you can help

Re: [Flashcoders] Repeated action on mouse down

naturally i let a typo get in

all instances of gallery_prev_btn are just prev_btn but the theory is  
sound




should be

var prev_btn:MovieClip =  
itemOverlay_mc.largeFormatImage_mc.attachMovie 
("gallery_prev_btn","gallery_prev_btn",11,{_x:905, _y:36});

Not sure if this applies to AS3, but in AS2, you had problems getting 
the width & height of loaded images & swfs until they were completely 
loaded.


The AS2 method was to implement the onLoadInit() function of the 
MovieClipLoader class and get info there.

Re: [Flashcoders] getBounds AS3/AS2 issue

Looking at it, it's MovieClip.getRect() too. How weird - must be some
sort of display parenting issue. I'll dig deeper and see what I can
find out; must be some sort of player bug.

Any and all ideas welcomed - I can't dream up a way to fake
getBounds() immediately (without some fancy blitting around of
Bitmaps, and that's much too heavyweight).

Thanks guys, this actually worked for me over the weekend. I created a

You can access the thing that sends the event in your listener - the guy 
before did not give you the entire signature for an event listener 
function (you pass the event in the MXML tag and add it as the argument 
to the function - same with any handler, you can specify what goes in 
the function argument, by default the click rollover and other Flex 
events will have an object associated with them that you can pass around):



   

label="myButton"/>


Hey presto, you can wrap this event up and fire it again from this 
component upto the top.  That's the only awkward bit as you have to 
write code for each.  There may be other ways / frameworks like Jason 
said that ensure you don't have to write these bits of code in every 
nested component to pass an event from bottom to top, but I have not 
investigated / learnt about this stuff.

RE: [Flashcoders] Using States, MXML, Events, O' My

[Merrill, Jason]

I would recommend using some design patterns or frameworks.  For
example, Cairgorm lets you broadcast special events (Cairngorm events)
which are responded to by a central Cairngorm command class.  This
command class can change the state of the application. 

As for not doing it in MXML because it contains animations, you can
extend the Button class or even better just make a custom button
component (which is also just extending the Button class) and animate
within that component, then in your MXML you can insert the buttons and
change the state by doing:



By nesting buttons deep within actionscript classes you can use event
bubbling to capture the event, but really, there are better less
complicated ways to handle this.

Re: [Flashcoders] visible area of content in V2 ScrollPane

[Piers Cowburn]

The vPosition value is the y offset of the content, so the size of  
the scroll bar handle is irrelevant when you're trying to work out  
the visible are of the content.

Hi Michael,

The top value is ScrollPane.vPosition, the bottom will be
ScrollPane.vPosition + ScrollPane.height

'mc' is a "soft reference" to the Star instance.

'mc' becomes a "dangling" reference, which means it'll be looking
for a substitute with same target name when dereferenced.

Dereferencing 'mc' here yelds the new Star insatnce, having
the same target path as the original one.

You are right about the "_root.star_mc" thing. I think it's more like
_root["star_mc"]. If you add your 2nd movie clip but not naming it as
"star_mc" I'm sure " mc._x = 100" will not work.
