Re: [BULK] Re: [Flashcoders] OT - Detecting flash versions for a large site
Hi again Susan, There are several ways, you can write your own Javascript or search google for an example]. Or, you can use SWFObject, and then rip out the version it finds in the externally loaded swfobject.js file: deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion(); Or, you can load a flash SWF file, that reads the version: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14294 And then write/store that information manually via some ASP/PHP script on your server. :) Seb.

[Flashcoders] Zipping in AS3
Hey everyone! I'm trying to find a solid zip/unzip library for AS3. I've done some testing with both FZip and AS3 Zip, and I've been running into problems with both. So I'm wondering if there are any others out there that anyone knows about that have been tested extensively. Or if any of you know of any applications/sites that use FZip or AS3 Zip that I could see a demo/source code of, that might help me get over some hurdles as well. Thanks in advance!

[Flashcoders] Anchor tag in textfield looks clickable, but its not
In our application we are using css styled html text through externally loaded stylesheets and fonts. Everythings been working great. The clients says they want to use anchor links in the text. So we put in some sample html links to test and something is a miss. The links, they show up, they look like links, even act like links visually ( mouseovers work ) but they don't work. A few major differences that I see. - Hand cursor doesn't change - Right clicking on the link doesn't show any way to copy the url - Attaching a TextEvent to the TextField doesn't reproduce any response as well. Has anyone seen this? My text looks pretty basic but maybe I'm missing something. Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] Can I avoid distorted bitmaps when scaling dynamically?
Have you turned the allow smoothing on? If you need to do it for a big number of bitmaps consider doing it with a .jsfl command.

Re: [Flashcoders] Can I avoid distorted bitmaps when scaling dynamically?
If you mean they lose quality (instead of "distort"), it's because they don't have interpolation on, and you have to change it. How you do so depends on how the images are featured. If they're single images (featured inside the SWF) you need to turn on "smoothing" on the bitmap properties on the library. If they're dynamically attached Bitmaps, you need to turn on the antialias option of the Bitmap container.

SOLVED: [Flashcoders] AS3 - setting a combobox to display a selection matching a string variable
Thanks guys!
This was the correct solution:
// three items in the combobox
// the last item in the myprofile array contains the string var.
for (i=0; i<3; i++) {
var thematch = dialect.dialect.getItemAt(i);
if (thematch.label==myprofile[myprofile.length-1]) {
dialect.dialect.selectedIndex=i;
}

[Flashcoders] Two Parts Question for Displaying Special Characters/Symbols/Images
Hello everybody I am trying to display special characters within a text field either by specifying their numerical entities in an outside XML file, or by bringing them from the library. For illustration purpose lets consider a symbol named “checkMark” Part 1: The “checkMark” image is stored in the library of the starting fla. file as a BitMap, designated in the linkage properties by the class name: ” CheckMark_1”. If I wanted to just display this check mark graphic, I would use the following code: var _cMark:Bitmap=new Bitmap(new CheckMark_1(0,0)); addChild(_cMark); If I wanted to bring this same graphic named 'check_2.png' from a directory and embed it in an html text I would use the following: var tryText:TextField=new TextField(); tryText.multiline=true; tryText.width=200; tryText.height=200; tryText.x=100; tryText.y=100; tryText.htmlText="PART 1: Check MARK "; addChild(tryText); Both of the above codes are working fine. The question here is how to display such graphic within the html text, when the bitmap is already in the fla. library. Part 2: The check mark is very similar to the Square Root symbol. The numerical html entity of this symbol is √ If I use the following code on a frame, the symbol shows fine. tryText.htmlText="PART 2: Check MARK √"; addChild(tryText); If I bring this symbol from an XML file, contained in “CDATA” type node, the symbol does not show. The rest of the text shows ok. Any idea on why it works ok within the fla. file and not when loaded from an XML file?

[Flashcoders] AS3 - setting a combobox to display a selection matching a string variable
I need to cause a combobox to programmatically change to display a selection
matching a string variable. I am using the following code without results...
// three items in the combobox
// the last item in the myprofile array contains the string var.
for (i=0; i<3; i++) {
if ((dialect.dialect.getItemAt(i)).label==myprofile[myprofile.length-1]) {
fscommand("found match "+(dialect.dialect.getItemAt(i)).label)
// the correct string is found but the combobox does not change the displayed
label to show that is has been set to the correct item...
dialect.dialect.selectedItem(myprofile.length-1);
}
}
what am I missing here??

[Flashcoders] External flv security issue...
hi cool list, I'm trying to load external swf into my flashapp. crossdomain.xml is in the correct place... the root of the server wich hosts the flv's... checkPolicyFile is giving positive results... inside the the swf is a flash video... don't know if this is external or internal... I keep getting this error: SecurityError: Error #2121: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: http://sitem/adtest.swf cannot access http://www.bladiebla.tv/flashcommercials/banner_320x240.swf?pid=test. This may be worked around by calling Security.allowDomain. Inside the policylog all policy stuff is accepted. AllowDomain doesn't do the trick also... On the papervision mailing list I came accross a 'new' security thingie from Flashplayer 9.0.115 I believe... and someone said something about a (policy)flag that needs to be in the video? I read it really quick so I'm not sure what I read ;) But google isn't telling much on the subject... Does anyone know something about this issue? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Optimising file size - stripping down intrinsics ...
SJF, The only thing he _could_ have stripped out is code from the non-intrinsic Flash code; for example, the Flash component classes, the Flex components and framework. Those aren't intrinsic, but _are_ bundled with Flash/Flex. Intrinsics, by their nature, are part of the Flash Player as I said. So you couldn't strip code from Sprite, because it's intrinsic. But you could strip code from mx.controls.UIButton.
