Re: [Flashcoders] To Void or not to void?? That is my question..
void is good when you compile - if your method does not return something and
you try to return something from the method, your compiler will complain
which is good:
private function foo():void {
return true;
}
// 1051:Return value must be undefined.
Also, if you define something being returned as an expected part of the
method but do not return something you'll also get an error
private function foo():Boolean {
//
}
// 1170: Function does not return a value.

Void actually isn't a Boolean. Technically, its value is undefined. AFAIK,
:void can only be used as the return type of a function. You can't declare

Re: [Flashcoders] To Void or not to void?? That is my question..
If I remember correctly, in AS2, you need to write a complete function
signature including the scope.
Try including the scope on the functions that stopped working when you added
:Void
*public* function fName():Void {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
You can choose between internal, private, protected or public. Until you
understand their purpose more, use public.

This isn't a bug is it? I mean were talking about a simple

Not working and a
function fName() {
gotoAndPlay(2);

Working...
This is why I thought I might be missing something about the :Void.
Maybe its something else in my code, but I don't think so.
Here is the code I am working on:
I took Jiri's advice on fixing the function calls on my tweens,
but it either is not firing the function or not firing the gotoAndPlay.
my first thought was that because the other tweens started working after I
made the change to the function call,
that this was a :Void culprit.
[code]
var beginAlpha = 0;
var endAlpha = 100;
var quoteShowY:Number = 219.9;
var quoteHideY:Number = -219.9;
this.quoteRequest_mc._x = 354.1;
this.quoteRequest_mc._y = quoteHideY;
this.quoteRequest_mc._alpha = 0;
function formVisible():Void {
this.quoteRequest_mc.gotoAndPlay(startQuote);
}
function formHidden():Void {
this.quoteRequest_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
}
function showForm() {
this.quoteRequest_mc.alphaTo(endAlpha,5,easeincirc,.5);
this.quoteRequest_mc.ySlideTo(quoteShowY,5,easeincirc,.5,formVisible);

That function returns a String. Having a gotoAndPlay() inside a function
is
not a return value.

:Void is AS2, and :void is AS3
The definition of void is nothingness: the state of nonexistence...
The syntax of functionName():void{} simply states that the function
returns
nothing... i.e. there is no return at the end of the function.
Although specifying a :void return type is not necessary in AS3, it is
considered best practice to include it. I believe it will generate
warnings
if you don't.
In AS2, it really doesn't matter if you do :Void after functions.
The reason this syntax exists is to make it easy for compilers to easily
identify problems in regards to object types, i.e. if you're trying to
use
the return value of a function as a MovieClip when it should really be
an
Array, or void. It also makes it easier for you to see what type of
value
the function is returning just by looking at the top of the function
definition.

[Flashcoders] Question on preventing this array[n] = 'whatever' on Array var
Hello list,
Lets say I have a class with a public getter to a private var which
holds an Array.
Some other class can do this then:
var tArr:Array = class.myArray;
I can then do this:
tArr.push(int) and the content of the array has changed without the
class knowing. This is in most cases I use it ok, but now I am wondering
how to deal with it when I really want to create a read only array.
I am aware that I can copy it, but then this can be very expensive when
it is requested a lot of times and it is a relative big array.
So i was thinking the following.
class A{
private var pArray:Array = [1,2,3]
public function get list():listArray{
return new listArray(pArray);
}
}
class listArray{
private var pList:Array
public function listArray(tArr:Array):void{
pList = listArray
}
override function push():void{
throw new IllegalOperationError()
}
}
I would have to override all the public methods of Array which can be a
pain.
My question is.
How would I prevent users from doing this:
listArray[n] = 'whatever'
Much appreciated

Re: [Flashcoders] Question on preventing this array[n] = 'whatever' on Array var
Sounds like you want to use a kind of Observer pattern:
Can you wrap up your array class in something that implements the
methods you want, ignores / passes on the stuff you care about and then
notifiies listeners of any changes that you care about?
Flex makes this quite easy with {watching} objects virtually
automatically - not sure if there is something in PureAS3 that would
help without requiring some huge framework.
The safest way of doing this though might be to prevent any external
class accessing your array. Make your class implement some kind of
ArrayInterface and allow the calling classes to use your class rather
than your array to add and remove things?

Re: [Flashcoders] Question on preventing this array[n] = 'whatever' on Array var
Thanx. Well i could extend Array and then override all the methods and
have them dispatch events, like ON_CHANGE.
Overwriting all the public mehtods is a pain, so I suspect i can use the
flash.utils.Proxy for this.
I just need to understand this utils.Proxy and flash_proxy thing.
Could somebody hint me if this would be worth looking into for this
particular case?

Re: [Flashcoders] Playing an encrypted f4v
Thanks for that info. Actually we have a fully licensed version of the Flash Media Server, but to tell you the truth, We didn't care for how the video streams from the server. My client really needs to have smooth seek functions, plus want want to capture screenshots of frames using the bitmap functions (FMS won't let you do this). If there is a way to implement progressive streaming and still maintain a level of security that would be great. They like the responsiveness of the seek controls after the video fully (progressively) downloads. Where as, with FMS the video has to re-buffer... the responsiveness just seem to be lacking. If I am wrong about this, please correct me. Security on this project is key, and of course as luck would have it, one of the higher-ups had Real Player installed and is able to download the videos we are loading. So, that's where the encrypted video request comes in. To test, I was given a f4v encrypted with blowfish. So I'm hoping I can load the f4v as a binary or bytearray -decrypt and play...

[Flashcoders] flash cs4 swf page combobox dropdown resize issue in flex 3 swfloader
I apologize if this appears as a cross posting, I tried to post in flexcoders but have not seen it yet. Maybe it is still getting approved. My issue pertains to both flex and flash CS4. I have created a course player in flex that loads flash cs4 swf files using swfloader. This swfloader is set to scale the content. The player can be sized depending on a control setting(800x600, 1024x768,..) The Flash CS4 swf files are created at 800x600 and scale appropriately to larger sizes within the flex player EXCEPT for a page that has a combobox embedded in it. When this combobox page is viewed at 1024x768, everything looks fine and the swf content appears to have been scaled appropriately on the page but when I select the combobox the dropdown menu list has not scaled properly. Playing inside the flex swfloader the dropdown menu list remains at the 800x600 size and appears to be 2/3 of the total width of the combobox. See image below: combobox problem illustrated If the swf file is made full screen outside the flex based player, the dropdown menu list scales properly and expands to 100% of width of the combobox. See image below combobox dropdown looks good When I look at the combobox width and dropdownWidth using De MonsterDebugger when the Flash CS4 swf page is playing within the swfloader, the values of both are set to 330. If I increase the dropdownWidth to 500, the width of the dropdown list expands to the full width and a smidgen more but the font stays small. It is almost like the dropdown list is not being refreshed/scaled when the content is being scaled. Any hints or recommendations on how to get the combobox list to resize appropriately within swfloader would be greatly appreciated. Is there a new actionscript 3 combobox method which I need to define to make this happen? Margo Noto Bene - my flash 8 swf file with a combobox loads in the swfloader and scales beautifully.

Playing inside the flex swfloader the dropdown menu list remains at the 800x600 size and appears to be 2/3 of the total width of the combobox. See image below: combobox problem illustrated If the swf file is made full screen outside the flex based player, the dropdown menu list scales properly and expands to 100% of width of the combobox. See image below combobox dropdown looks good When I look at the combobox width and dropdownWidth using De MonsterDebugger when the Flash CS4 swf page is playing within the swfloader, the values of both are set to 330. If I increase the dropdownWidth to 500, the width of the dropdown list expands to the full width and a smidgen more but the font stays small. It is almost like the dropdown list is not being refreshed/scaled when the content is being scaled. Any hints or recommendations on how to get the combobox list to resize appropriately within swfloader would be greatly appreciated. Is there a new actionscript 3 combobox method which I need to define to make this happen? Margo Noto Bene - my flash 8 swf file with a combobox loads in the swfloader and scales beautifully. Not a solution since we are upgrading our content to flash cs4 actionscript 3. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders -- Margo Powell Applications Analyst MS Computer Science Department of Nutrition University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 800 Eastowne Dr, Suite 100 Chapel Hill, NC 27514 919-408-3320 ext 30 margo_pow...@unc.edu ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Ah yes. I missed that part.
How about this moderately less simple one using Kenneth's suggestion?
function swapCharAt(s:String, index:Number, char:String ):String{
var ptrn:RegExp = new RegExp((.{+index+}).(.*));
return( (s).replace(ptrn, $1+char+$2) );
}
trace( swapCharAt(Flash, 2, e) );

[Flashcoders] Export cuepoints from Premiere CS3 for use in Flash CS3.
Have any of you ever used Premiere to create cuepoints (called markers in Premiere) and save out an flv for use in Flash? I created the cuepoints/markers with text for the captions and titles for chapters just fine, and thought it (Premiere Pro CS3) would export the XML along with the flv, but I can only get it to export the FLV. Flash (the FLVplayback component) seems to need an XML file of the cuepoints in order for cuepoints to work - and I don't want to create the XML manually unless I have to. Is the cuepoint metadata embedded within the .flv? If so, I tried reading out the .flv's metadata after the metadata event was detected, but it's null. Any ideas?

RE: [Flashcoders] To Void or not to void?? That is my question..
Besides the compiler checking, specifying the return type is also good when you write code - enforces you to return the correct type and code correctly. Also helps apps like FlashDevelop know what the method returns, so great with code-hinting.

Re: [Flashcoders] Export cuepoints from Premiere CS3 for use in Flash CS3.
I have used final cut for making my cue points, but I do not export to a flv from final cut when I do this. I first make a mov file with the cue points saved in it and then use the flash video encoder to import my mov file and create my flv. The encoder reads all my cue points and let's me work with them.

Thanks - I'm an idiot - I had pathed to the wrong .flv file. Duh. I
can read the metadata now produced in Premiere - it embeds it in the flv
- doesn't support XML export like Soundbooth does. However, I seem to
only be able to grab the following metadata from the MetadataEvent:
private function onCuePoint(event:MetadataEvent):void
{
trace(Elapsed time in seconds: + flvPlayback.playheadTime);
trace(Cue point name is: + event.info.name);
trace(Cue point type is: + event.info.type);
}
I can't find any info in the docs or online about grabbing the actual
value of the cuepoint (the cuepoint text itself) so I can post it to a
textfield. Any ideas? Thanks.

RE: [Flashcoders] Export cuepoints from Premiere CS3 for useinFlashCS3.
Ah - after a lot more digging and testing, it seems Premiere Pro only embeds the marker's name, time, and type into the flv. It doesn't include comments or chapter data. Bummer! I wish they would put that in the docs. I guess it's over to Soundbooth and XML to do this... unless someone knows otherwise - please correct me if I am wrong. I guess there isn't much use using Premiere Pro to add cuepoint captions to FLV video, only cuepoint events. Very odd feature missing!

I believe what was happening with making the mov was that all that

retrieve all the data, because, I was able to edit them, rename them,
etc.

Ok, am I missing something... ?
This works, but starts playing the MC at the same time as the tween
and not at the end.
function formVisible():Void {
this.quoteRequest_mc.gotoAndPlay(startQuote);
}
function showForm() {
this.quoteRequest_mc.ySlideTo(quoteShowY,8,easeincirc,
0,formVisible(),80,6);
}
This doesn't work... (with or without the :Void)
function formVisible():Void {
this.quoteRequest_mc.gotoAndPlay(startQuote);
}
function showForm() {
this.quoteRequest_mc.ySlideTo(quoteShowY,8,easeincirc,
0,formVisible,80,6);
}
and this doesn't work...
function showForm() {
this.quoteRequest_mc.ySlideTo(quoteShowY,8,easeincirc,0,function
() {this.quoteRequest_mc.gotoAndPlay(startQuote);},80,6);
}
Am I not calling basically the same thing every time?
And why would the () make it work but not treat it as an end call
back function,
instead just trigger the function as soon as that line is read??
Thanks in advance.

Ahhh, spoke too soon.
It worked on some, but not on others.
funny thing is its almost identical code.
just a difference in how long the tween goes for.
Is it possible that my tween timing could nullify my callback

Thanks Jiri,
That worked perfectly.
I knew I had been looking at this code too long
and that it was something as simple as deleting a couple of
parenthesis.
Thanks again..

I think that it makes sense that the functions like formHidden
() gets called, because that is what you put down.
It think you will need to put only the function name/ref like so:
this.quoteRequest_mc.ySlideTo(quoteHideY,4,easeoutbounce,.5,
formHidden ,20,4.5);
Give it a try.

Hello List,
I'm having an issue getting my MC_Tween2 scripts to behave
appropriately. AS2.
I am trying to set a function that triggers after the tween is
done.
I am sure this is easier than I am figuring, but I'm stuck.
I can get the tweens to work, but they trigger the function
while tweeneing.
[code eg]
var beginAlpha = 0;
var endAlpha = 100;
var quoteShowY:Number = 219.9;
var quoteHideY:Number = -219.9;
this.quoteRequest_mc._y = quoteHideY;
function formVisible() {
if (!this.quoteRequest_mc.isTweening()) {//this way
doesn't work at all ???
this.quoteRequest_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
function formHidden() { //this way plays while hideForm() is
Tweening
this.quoteRequest_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
}
function showForm() {
this.quoteRequest_mc.alphaTo(endAlpha,3.5,easeoutquint,.5);
this.quoteRequest_mc.ySlideTo(quoteShowY,
4,easeoutbounce,.5,formVisible(),20,4.5); }
function hideForm() {
this.quoteRequest_mc.alphaTo(beginAlpha,
3.5,easeoutquint,.5);
this.quoteRequest_mc.ySlideTo(quoteHideY,
4,easeoutbounce,.5,formHidden(),20,4.5); }
showForm();
What on earth am I doing wrong??
It all looks like it should work!
Also, on the tweens themselves, they dont play very smooth.
Am I doing somthing wrong with the timing or the ease period
or amount of ease? What?
I want them to play somewhat quickly, but smooth.
Thank you for any help.

Re: [Flashcoders] no more mac ppc for adobe?
Since Apple is dropping support for the G5 PPC, I'm sure Adobe is following suit.

I'm asking this because I've just downloaded the coldfusion builder beta and the flash builder beta(gumbo) and those are not going to run on g5 ppc machines , only for mac intel, is that the new direction of adobe or juts because of the beta releases?

RE: [Flashcoders] Export cuepoints from Premiere CS3 for useinFlashCS3.
OK thanks, I appreciate your comments, but let me be clear, I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and I don't have a copy of Final Cut.

Ah.. well that would make it difficult to use Final Cut to do that then.. I thought you might have that as an option. Sry for any misunderstanding..

RE: [Flashcoders] Export cuepoints from Premiere CS3 for useinFlashCS3.
Following up, I have a good solution. I figured out I can simply just put the captioning text in the Chapter field for the marker in Premiere instead and that works well. I can also insert XML with metadata to include additional information like offset positioning for the caption if I parse that out at the other end in Flash - cool!
