[Flashcoders] AS3 Object.watch equivalent
Hey guys, I need a little help here... I'm working on porting some existing AS2 code to AS3. A porting of the AS2 class watched _root variables which were updated by javascript (using setVariable) - When a change occurred the callback method would change instance properties, fire events etc etc... Now - Object.watch is not around in AS3 (I understand that the overheads for utilising this method was pretty awful), and my flashVars are contained within the Stage LoaderInfo obect (LoaderInfo.parameters). Does anybody have any idea how I can monitor these variables for any changes now? Looking at the api doc, I can't see any evidence of a LoaderInfo instance firing an event of any use to me... Any ideas?? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [BULK] Re: [Flashcoders] Is there a quick way to convert back to AS2?
All well and good, but the government wants business reasons and not technical abilities. As someone else noted, point out the security upgrades as a starting point. Then include tangible reasons such as better performance of course ware. More robust user experience because of better video support of e-learning materials. In other words you have to spin the enhances to fit the clients needs. But having worked into the government sector for a while, your project is not likely to grease the wheels alone or even in a timely manner for your project. But it doesn't hurt to try. :) Charles P.

If you want an associative array like that use Object, not Array.

[Flashcoders] AS3 - Checking if a Function Exists
Hello Group -
This should be really easy. I am trying to find out how to check if a
function exists or not in AS3 -
I tried this:
code
If ( currentSection.refresh != null ) {
currentSection.refresh();
}
/code
But I get ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property refresh not found when the
function does not exist.
Any clues?
Kind Regards

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Object.watch equivalent
The ethos of AS3 is that instead of watching something, you indeed setup events that are fired when they change. So instead you just do an .addEventListener() to the object created. Each object type has particular events it can fire. A LoaderInfo class dispatches complete, httpStatus, init, ioError, open, progress, and unload events. You can find them on the reference. Remember that the data changes once it's loaded (complete), so that's what you want to watch even if there's no change event.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 associativ array length=0
OK, I'm not sure if I follow, but.. You basically want named views onto a set of data, each view uses a separate object to hold the data for its own particular view. You could use an array of objects to store the view data and each view object could contain a view name. I'm not really sure how the view name is being used - if it's a finite number of views I'd probably use a constant for the view name as an index into the array: var FIRST_VIEW:uint = 0; var SECOND_VIEW:uint = 1; etc. so then we refer to view[FIRST_VIEW]. If it's a true associative array you're after you might need a dictionary. A lot of people try and write AS3 code using AS1/AS2 habits, so that's why I asked.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 associativ array length=0
something like that should do it:
public function Caddy() {
if ( getQualifiedClassName( super ) == ::Caddy ) {
throw new ArgumentError( Use get instance pl0x. );
}else{
_listproduct = new Array();
_views = new Array();
}
}
public function addView ( v : CaddyViewBase ) : void
{
if ( Boolean( view( v.name ) ) )
throw new Error ( CaddyView with name' + v.name + '
has already been created. );
else if (!v.name )
throw new Error ( Cannot create a CaddyView instance
without a name );
_views.push( v );
}
public function view ( name : String ) : CaddyViewBase
{
var i : int = _views.length;
while ( i-- )
if ( _views[ i ].name == name ) return _views[ i ];
}
return null;
}
then I can retrieve by name and iterate through it

Thanks for all your help dr.ache. I think I am very close now. I still get a
number of errors, but I think the underlying problem is this one:
5000: The class 'RTE2124BuserName' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip'
since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
What is that trying to tell me, and how do I fix it? I tried a number of things
(even deleting all the Movie Clips from the library), but I still get the same

interpret the term subclass). When I tried that it told me that classes can't
be nested.

[Flashcoders] AS Quicktime animation setup : 40min possible?
need to know a few things: 1 - can i render/export to QT an AS based animation that will be 40min long? it will be incorporating an FLV ( soundtrack ) with Cuepoints..that will trigger different AS animations made from an XML file. is there a chance that the animation and sound can become out of sync ( this has been known to happen with timeline based animations ) 2 - the FLV will have over 10k cuepoints. is there a way to Scrub through to the middle of the animation by giving an ID# to each CuePoint? and then giving each XML node that same ID#? then just create a simple textfield form and have the client enter that ID# and the animation can Jump to that section of the animation ( for testing/previewing ) but then how can the client add/delete cuepoints in the FLV and have them be resorted numerically? so they can match the xml IDs? im sure there is a clever flexible solution out there..anyone? thanks! p.s. i need to do this in AS2..if possible. -- *artur :.* - *www.artur.com* - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - *ph:646.797.3320* ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Subject: [Flashcoders] Re: Re: Passing text between SWFs
Thanks for all your help dr.ache. I think I am very close now. I still get a
number of errors, but I think the underlying problem is this one:
5000: The class 'RTE2124BuserName' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip'
since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
What is that trying to tell me, and how do I fix it? I tried a number of
things (even deleting all the Movie Clips from the library), but I still get
the same errors. It certainly won't let me put one class in another (as one
might interpret the term subclass).
That's not the correct interpretation of subclass. What it wants is a class
that is based on MovieClip, so:
public class RTE2124BuserName extends MovieClip {
would base your class on MovieClip and then it would be a subclass of
MovieClip ..

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Re: Passing text between SWFs
Hi Alan.
The missing thing is you must let RTE2124BuserName (one of the most
horrible class names I have seen so far :-) ) extend MovieClip.
Therefore you have to import the movieclip class
How this is accomplished you can see in the text.
The errormessage tells you that you linked one of the library symbols
with your class - what is ok to do so.
In the linkage properties you can define a baseclass for your symbol
what you could change to flash.display.Sprite
but in your case its not necessary. To delete all your symbols in the
library is definitely not a solution ;-)
As far as I can tell you this is not the last error you get. I highly
recommend to read the manual.

Re: [Flashcoders] h264 video looks blurry/crappy in flash
The video i am using has the same size as the stage area so no scaling is taking place. smoothing = true normally activates antialiasing if the video is scaled up/down. However weird things hapens with h264 - with smoothing 'on' the image gets too soft and to some degree degrades the picture. With smoothing 'off' it leaves the video very rough and aliased as if the video had been scaled up from 1/4th the resolution. I have been testing on osx 10.4 safari/ff and 9.0.115 fp Cheers, B) Søren MOTION INTERACTIVITY dslnc studio - www.desilence.net +34 93 268 0953 / +34 61 555 9963 (mobile) On Oct 24, 2008, at 5:37 PM, Cedric Muller wrote: do you, by any chance, use the video.smoothing = true ? by looking at the video, it seems this option is set to true ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Hello Group -
This should be really easy. I am trying to find out how to check if a
function exists or not in AS3 -
I tried this:
code
If ( currentSection.refresh != null ) {
currentSection.refresh();
}
/code
But I get ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property refresh not found when the
function does not exist.
Any clues?
Kind Regards
