Re: [Flashcoders] problem with loading and parsing XML
Hello, Pavel,
Can you try to rephrase is onLoadSite method out of action. Also, what is
the state of the omit trace actions checkbox in your publish settings
(perhaps it is checked but Flash maybe overwrites this setting when running
the debugger?)

Hi
i have class for loading and parsing XML file. With test movie (command +

With debug mode (command + shift + enter) is all OK and in output window is
possible to see trace command (trace(siteData))
What is wrong please?

[Flashcoders] Streaming Video question
I've been developing a video player for a client. It looks as though the client may switch to using a streaming server. The video content is over an hour long, so I wonder if there is an optimal size/length we should be looking at for the video files. Previously, the video was split into a lot of small video files with the player loading them as required - much more convenient to allow the user to move between sections. I'm wondering what the optimal finger in the air size is going to be for use with a video stream. At this stage I have no idea what the client infrastructure will be.

[Flashcoders] Conversion SWF - PDF/EPS
Hello everybody, I'm looking for a any solution (really anything) to convert SWF files to another vector format used in print (EPS or PDF) or even generate this format on the fly using AS3/PHP/whatever... Here is a summary of the problem : I have an application in which the user can add text or pre-defined shapes (MovieClips) and then scale, rotate, move them... As a final step I need to generate a vector file (PDF or EPS) to be sent to the print factory. The pre-defined shapes are provided to me as vector PDF files, so I imported them in the Flash IDE then re-export them as SWF in order to be dynamically loaded in the app. I already take a look at AlivePDF, but he can't generate vector PDF from a DisplayObject... I'm also thinking that I can generate a XML file describing the transformations applied to the shapes to later post-process everything with originals PDF but I can't even find a solution in this way. And it doesn't solve my problem in the case the user added text with a specific font and then distord it to fit his needs. So, if someone has a clue or a trick (even if it needs a manual intervention) to get me out of this mess, it would be great.

Re: [Flashcoders] Best way to architect a kind of keyCode rotation
Will parseInt be quicker? Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ eric e. dolecki wrote: I am going to be getting key events that sum up a degree of rotation. ie. 3, 0, 1, ^ = 301 degrees (well, I get keCodes that I need to translate back into their corresponding numbers) So I was thinking I have an array that I push the values (keyCode) into... when I get a delimiter, I then combine the digits before the delimiter numbOne *= 100; numbTwo *= 10; numbThree = thirdDigitIfExists; totalNumber = numbOne + numbTwo + numbThree; And then set the rotation, clear the array out, and then wait for more keyCodes to pour in. I'm a little worried about the speed of execution, as I could get tons of sets of keyCodes and this needs to be as accurate as possible. I could use a wrapper and use serial data sent in, but i want to avoid a 3rd party wrapper. I imagine that the approach I've outlined above shouldn't be too terribly slow, but wondering if there might be a way that would be quicker execution-wise knowing I'll be getting sets of keyCodes to implement into a rotational number (0-359).

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3: How can I target an object from adot-sytaxstring?
If you fell developing it, I wrote an experiment about the flash proxy
class. I would do it that way. The proxy class makes you able to handle new
methods and properties on any other classes (especially the one that are not
dynamic, almost all of them), to access to something like:
mySprite.myNewProperty
mySprite.myNewMethod
In my example I proxy an array but you could do it for anything.

Make a search on Google with the keywords as3, proxy and dot syntax maybe
someone has already done that.
Hope it helps.

for example:

}
}
I thought this var will be available to access from within another
class like this:
package test {

hello = hello from another class;
}
}

But I get :

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 classes var query
You'd need to instantiate the other class and then access it, like this:
package test {
public class test2 extends Sprite {
public function test2(){
var testInstance:test = new test();
trace(testInstance.hello);
}
}
}
Also, it's good practice to capitalise your class names: Test, Test2
rather than test, test2.

RE: [Flashcoders] as3 classes var query
You'd need to instantiate the other class and then access it,
like this:
That's one way, the other way is to use static variables:
package com
{
class MyClass
{
public static var name:String = Johnny;
//or declare as a public constant:
public static const FRUIT:String = apple;
}
}
import com.MyClass
trace(MyClass.name);
trace(MyClass.FRUIT);

Try doing that with an external file and an exotic font :) To prevent errors from my side i always place my text in a CDATA (where appropriate) and make sure I have the htmlText option on.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Is it possible to display in the xml file
To clarify - amp; is part of the XML spec and is nothing to do with HTML. Just by coincidence, HTML has the same entity amp; defined. A standards-conforming XML parser - which the Flash one is - will always translate amp; into within text nodes. So when you extract the text node from the XML, any occurrence of amp; will already have been replaced.

Re: [Flashcoders] Inserting Smiley Images in Textarea
A while back there was a project where the dev made a custom font of smileys for a chat app using FCS2. Not to sure how he would swap the font on the fly, probably run a loop on an array of possible key combinations. Maybe that route could work though it seems like a rough approach. B.

We passed a set of coordinates that mapped the shapes to a servlet that used Batik (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/) to generate an SVG file. Once you have the SVG file you can generate a PDF file using FOP (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/). Illustrator can read an SVG file natively, so you really don't need to generate a EPS format. I don't know if there is a Batik like library for PHP, but if you have control of the box, Tomcat works fine for this type of web app. -Ricky ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

RE: [Flashcoders] looking at the maths for an osx style dock

Don't use anonymous functions. If you have to use AS2, then use
mx.utils.Delegate instead.
Also, you keep repeating, mcScrollingIconContainer[clip+i] in your
code over and over in the same loop. Instead, I think a tighter way
(and perhaps better performance since there is not a continual lookup)
is to create a reference to it instead, and then just use the reference
to assign behavior:
var thisContainer:MovieClip = mcScrollingIconContainer[clip+i];
thisContainer.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, onContainerRelease);
thisContainer.onRollOver = Delegate.create(this, onContainerRollOver);
thisContainer.onPress = Delegate.create(this, onContainerPress);
thisContainer.onReleaseOutside = Delegate.create(this,
onContainerReleaseOutside);

[Flashcoders] FMS3 console unable to inspect SharedObjects
Hi all,
I am running FMS 3.0.1 but I can't inspect the properties in my
SharedObjects with the admin console. Opening the SharedObjects tab
under View Applications results in the following error appearing in my
Server Log:
Thu 02:34:30 PM: Connection rejected by server. Reason : [
Server.Reject ] : Invalid uri :
rtmp:///myapp/_definst_?_fcs_debugreq_=1434190
The application itself runs with no problems.
For testing purposes I reduced my main.asc code to this:
application.onAppStart = function()
{
application.allowDebug = true;
application.so = SharedObject.get('so');
application.so.setProperty('winner', 'abcdef');
// returns Application started. abcdef as expected
trace('Application started. '+application.so.getProperty('winner'));
}
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Not being able to use the SharedObject inspector is a big inconvenience.
Thanks is advance,
--

But each object that has a parent has a .parent paramenter, if its in its display list. and if your not structuring it that way, you should add a parent parameter to your class so that all objects know who their parents are.

Matt Hawley wrote: Is there any way to embed non-latin character sets, such as cyrillic and hebrew, in library fonts as you can with a dynamic textfield on the stage? I have searched all day and can't find anything about it. Hmmm... it seems like I answered an almost identical question yesterday ^_^ Yes. And no. When you embed a font in the library, I believe it embeds all the available glyphs. When you embed that library font in a text field is when you get to choose the glyph sets. To see if it has the glyphs you want, a simple test will suffice--create a dynamic text field on-stage, embed the library font, and see what glyphs are available. You can easily delete the text field once you've found your font. Note that many fonts, even Unicode fonts, will not have Cyrillic, Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and other glyphs. The one I have found to be most complete is Arial Unicode (NOT Arial). But, just being Unicode-compliant doesn't mean it has any particular set of glyphs. It just means that the glyphs it has are at the right code point. So you could have a Unicode font that is just English, or just Japanese, or just Greek, or any combination of Unicode-defined languages. When you think about it, it makes sense. Unicode defines a heck of a lot of languages, but, practically speaking, there is little commercial market for Khmer, Burmese, Tibetan, or Inuit. Even if it defines glyphs for a language, it may not have a complete set. For example, Chinese--nobody really knows how many Chinese characters there are. I've heard estimates of up to 80,000, perhaps more. In real life, you need to know about 2,500 to read a newspaper, and a Chinese-language scholar may know 8,000 or so. I think the average for an educated Chinese speaker is about 4,000. So how many do you include in your font? Do you really need the 15th-century character for county magistrate in Hunan province? I'm not being facetious. These are realities that font makers face.

[Flashcoders] Unhandled IOError and IOErrorEvent when closing browser during load
I posted this to Flash_tiger but it seems to be down or something, so
I'm xposting it here.
Am I missing something, or is this a bug with the Flash player (9.0.124)?
If you're loading something and during the load you close the browser,
the Flash player spits out an Error #2044, from either ioError or
IOErrorEvent or both.
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never
Completed.
Ok, fine. Adobe wants to enforce strictness even when you're
annihilating the swf, I can deal with that, or so I thought...
I listen for the IOErrorEvent and I try..catch the load and Flash still
spits out the same error. What gives? Flash still throws an allegedly
unhandled error that I am most assuredly handling?
Sample code:
_loader = new Loader();
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
onError, false, 0, true);
try
{
_loader.load(request);
}
catch (error:Error)
{
trace(Caught error!, error.name + :: + error.message);

function onError(event:IOErrorEvent):void

trace(onError, event);

I believe I'm doing everything I should do to capture these errors and I
still get them. Why?

Re: [Flashcoders] Real Time Lip Sync
Okay, purely hypothetical. The sound file is approx 30-60 seconds long. How long would it take to pre-analyze that in Flash for a volumetric analysis? I guess Flash basically needs to play the sound to analyze it?

I guess it's not possible then. :( Maybe it is possible--not easy, but possible. You can get close enough for cartoons by simple volumetric analysis. IOW, check the volume and base the mouth positions on that. We had a routine, written in C++, that did just that, and it was good enough for our Disney program. You only really need about 5 or 6 mouth positions for most cartoon animation. Generally, a long a is louder than a b. It won't be exact, but it will probably get you close enough. I don't know if AS3 is going to be fast enough for real-time analysis. You might need to write an ActiveX in C++ (if you're targeting IE on Windows), or a Firefox plugin. It can be done--it's not easy, and you might run into problems with customer acceptance of an ActiveX control, but it's still an option.

Re: [Flashcoders] Library fonts, embedding non-latin character sets
Sorry that was my post yesterday also. I didn't see it go through because of the list lag. I am using Verdana, which has Cyrillic but it's not being embedded in the library. I can make a textfield on the stage and specify Cyrillic to embed and it works fine. I am trying to create a shared font library, otherwise I would be fine with using a dynamic text field embed. I guess I will end up using dynamic font manager but I was hoping for something less messy. It would make things a lot easier if library fonts had the same character embed property as dynamic fonts. Thanks for the info.

I have searched all day and can't find anything about it. When you embed a font in the library, I believe it embeds all the available glyphs. When you embed that library font in a text field is when you get to choose the glyph sets. To see if it has the glyphs you want, a simple test will suffice--create a dynamic text field on-stage, embed the library font, and see what glyphs are available. You can easily delete the text field once you've found your font. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Unhandled IOError and IOErrorEvent when closing browser during load
I only started getting this error when I switched to the debug player. Seem
to get stream errors as well, when nothing is loading!If it is a feature of
the debug feature; is there a way to disable the debug part of the player? I
wouldn't want to keep reinstalling different versions of flash for browsing
and developing!
2008/6/13 Steven Sacks [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I posted this to Flash_tiger but it seems to be down or something, so I'm
xposting it here.
Am I missing something, or is this a bug with the Flash player (9.0.124)?
If you're loading something and during the load you close the browser, the
Flash player spits out an Error #2044, from either ioError or IOErrorEvent
or both.
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never
Completed.
Ok, fine. Adobe wants to enforce strictness even when you're annihilating
the swf, I can deal with that, or so I thought...
I listen for the IOErrorEvent and I try..catch the load and Flash still
spits out the same error. What gives? Flash still throws an allegedly
unhandled error that I am most assuredly handling?
Sample code:
_loader = new Loader();
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError,
false, 0, true);
try
{
_loader.load(request);
}
catch (error:Error)
{
trace(Caught error!, error.name + :: + error.message);
}
function onError(event:IOErrorEvent):void
{
trace(onError, event);
}

still get them. Why?

[Flashcoders] Effective Cursor Switching
I'm curious because its becoming a large requirement for usability and I shy away from it; but changing the mouse cursor can be highly beneficial. I'd like to know however, it there's a way to tap into the OS's cursors, instead of changing the cursor position on mouse move. For instance when you have a selectable text field, flash changes your cursor, as when you roll over a buttonMode enabled object. So is there a way to tell it to fall into that state?

Re: [Flashcoders] Effective Cursor Switching
Yeah, the text fields and buttons do it fine. I was hoping to use it for more features such as a drag hand, loading cursors, magnifying glass, etc... 2008/6/13 Barry Hannah [EMAIL PROTECTED]: As with buttons forcing the OS pointer/hand cursor, selectable textfields should also change the standard arrow cursor into an I-beam one? I thought this was default behavior when the Textfield.selectable property was set to true? Flash went part way there with including a useHandCursor property, I agree it would be nice to have access to the OS cursor set e.g. to use a grab cursor for panning a map ala google.
