Re: [Flashcoders] Full screen mode and KeyboardEvents
As an addition - AIR lets you use FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE mode, because the assumption is that the users _knows_ that they have started the AIR app (like starting a normal .exe/.app).

[Flashcoders] Strategies to cope with different encodings of XML data?
Hi there, I need to find the best way to cope with different encodings of XML documents that are loaded at runtime. The documents are user-selected newsfeeds that happen to be encoded in both ISO and UTF-8, so I have to switch System.useCodepage to true or false depending on the encoding of the xml to have special characters rendered correctly. Right now the only idea I came up with was to load the data, check how it is encoded, set the codepage property and load the data again- possibly not the best way to do it? Did I mention it must be done in AS2? Every hint/discussion on the matter is highly appreciated!!!

[Flashcoders] Best data type for Zend AMF
Hi List, I'm using Zend AMF, and i'd like to know what is the best way and fastest to transfer data. For instance; do i create an array from database data in PHP and send it to flash?

[Flashcoders] Storing x and y in a bytearray
I have a byte question. I have to store a walkable area so a character 'knows' where it can walk or not. Currently I am using a multi-dim array based on the x and y pos of the tiles . so [[1],[0],[1]..etc] where pos(0,0) => array[0][0] => 1 (walkable) I was wondering if I could store this using a bytearray, for storing and possibly faster lookup using bitwise operators. I am very knew to this, so I am ot sure where to begin and how to deal with it. The range of int is sufficient to store all the data, because a full walkarea would take 370560 (772*480) elements in the previous mentioned multi array. I could be completely wrong, but would like some advice. Jiri ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Best data type for Zend AMF
You can set the dataprovider of a DataGrid with a result set from MySQL
or similar.
I have an experiment with AS2 + AMFPHP + datagrid at home, so guessing
that AS3 is similar - will try and find it later if you are interested.
Although you can't do "data-binding" in the {Flex} way without the
framework - that's an implementation of the observer pattern, so you
could roll your own if you wanted. You can use the "Watcher" stuff that
comes with the framework for a pure AS3 implementation - can't remember
where it is, but look in the doc's - you can set up property watchers in
Flex AS3 which you respond to (bit like registering listeners...)

My question is can i do this with pure AS3? You can certainly do Value Objects (which are simply just simple classes with properties you set and get - anyone can write one), but databinding is a Flex framework only feature.

[Flashcoders] mouse cursors and hrefs
Hi, Im building an app with a custom mouse cursor. My issue comes when rolling over href links inside html text fields. The href link sets the system mouse over icon to visible, though previously Ive set mouse.hide. Any idea what I need to override inside Textfield class to stop this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Best data type for Zend AMF
AMFPHP did this really well with result sets too - straight out of the
box like CF.
Yeah, that's what I expect Zend AMF to do as well, but I haven't tried it yet.
Maybe I'll take it for a spin this evening if I find the time..
The only *gotcha* with sending query results straight from CF to Flex/Flash is
that table column names all become uppercase.
Not sure if AMFPHP did the same (been too long since I used it).
So that might be something to look out for with Zend AMF as well, but it may
just be a (annoying) CF thing.
Let's say you have a user table with "firstName" and "lastName" columns.
When sending a query result straight to Flex/Flash (from CF) it looks like this:
[{FIRSTNAME:"value", LASTNAME:"value"}, {FIRSTNAME:"value", LASTNAME:"value"}];
rather than:
[{firstName:"value", lastName:"value"}, {firstName:"value", lastName:"value"}];

For database type data, Array of Objects.
Forget about XML.
With Coldfusion (and remoting) you can grab a database query result
and just send that straight to Flash/Flex and it will be transformed
into an Array of Objects automatically.
In CF it's as simple as:
SELECT * FROM table_name
Seems they're still working on mapping PHP to AS objects:
http://wadearnold.com/blog/?p=54
Allthough, the article is from sept 2008, so it may have been
implemented by now.
So if class mappings are implemented (still have to take Zend AMF for
a spin) then that's the *best* option, but probably not the *fastest*.
At least in Coldfusion transforming plain vanilla objects into typed
objects slows things down (especially with lots of data).

Re: [Flashcoders] Best data type for Zend AMF
If Zend AMF supports mapping, then it should be possible with pure AS3.
Think you'll need to use flash.net.registerClassAlias() to map the AS class to
a PHP class.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/net/package.html#registerClassAlias()
That will do the same thing as the Flex [RemoteClass] metadata tag.
So in the VO constructor, make a call to registerClassAlias():
registerClassAlias("php.package.classname", VOClass);
No idea if PHP does packages tho (someone else does the PHP stuff for me, I'm a CF guy), so you might just need the php class name
(without package).

Nice one guys, thanks for the response.
Since i'm not at all into Flex, in the video he talks about binding (and
mapping them to ValueObjects).
My question is can i do this with pure AS3?

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Object reference
photoStrip_mc["thumbnail" + I]_mc._width and photoStrip_mc.thumbnail[I]_mc._width won't work. "[]" basically serve the purpose of periods they represent heirarchy, they don't perform an eval() (there is no AS3 equivalent of AS2's eval() btw). You were on the right path with: photoStrip_mc["thumbnail" + i + "_mc"]._width The only issue I see wrong is using "._width" instead of ".width" Then again, it is out of context, so I don't know what the rest of your code is, it might be that you are not properly assigning the values. As Muzak mentioned, I also usually just store mc's that I need to loop through in an array and do it that way. - Taka On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 12:02 PM, TS wrote: > Ok that was my other question.

Just remember that the mc's aren't available for garbage collection until they are removed from the array.

Ok here is a new one. Is there a way to control the way your swf plays according to the bandwidth it's getting? For eg: control how fast FPS your movie plays according to the stream of info it's getting from the server? If the stream is low play fast and if the stream is good then play regular fps?

[Flashcoders] AS3 - have a problem parsing my data from JSON
Hi,
I'm having a difficult time pulling data out of some JSON I'm
currently working with. The following script is something that I found
online using Adobe's corelib to parse the JSON, but the sample JSON
the guy used was really basic. The one I'm working with has a few
levels. For example, how would I pull out the "date_created"? I've
tried calling it with dot syntax but I keep getting errors. Can
someone shed some light on this for me? Thank you in advance... Cheers!
The script I'm using with corelib:
import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader() ;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest() ;
request.url = "someJSON_URL" ;
loader.load(request) ;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, decodeJSON) ;
function decodeJSON(event:Event):void {
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
var evData:Array = JSON.decode("["+loader.data+"]");
myFlashVars.appendText("\n" + String(evData[0].xml));
for (var key:Object in evData) {
myFlashVars.appendText("\n" + "\n" + String(evData[key]));
}
}
My JSON looks like this:
{
"xml": {
"device": {
"view": {
"action": "getsummary",
"device": {
"date_created": "2/28/2009 2:59:24 PM",
"date_modified": "2/28/2009 2:59:24 PM",
"device_id": "",
"device_status": "active",
"device_type": "other",
"friendly_name": "Foo",
"make": "Bar",
"model": "999",
"serial_number": "Test Serial No"
},
"error": {

"message": ""
},
"owner": {
