[Flashcoders] What IDE on Mac ?
I grown up with PC, Windows and in work I am completely happy with FlashDevelop + CS3. For some time I am also a happy MacBook user, but it is hard for me to swap with AS2/AS3 coding to Mac. So far I could not establish a comfortable work environment on Mac. I read about two options: - adapting Xcode to ActionSript (seems complex), - Eclypse with ActionScript plugin. I had no success in adapting Xcode and I did not even tried installing Eclypse. I would like to know your opinion on which option is more efficient and more comparable to Win based FlashDevelop + CS3 IDE. For work, I need badly code snippets and syntax check. Runtime debugging is not crucial for me. Tia, Greg ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

There's been some interesting Twitter buzz about IntelliJ IDEA's AS3 implementation lately, but I haven't gotten around to checking it out yet. Would love to hear a report if anyone has time to do so! --Matt On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 4:13 AM, Steven Sacks wrote: > FDT is pretty much your best choice. > > > > On 12/14/2009 3:53 AM, Greg Ligierko wrote: > >> I grown up with PC, Windows and in work I am completely happy with >> FlashDevelop + CS3.

Re: [Flashcoders] What IDE on Mac ?
Thanks a lot. I am downloading the trial in this moment. The price of FDT Professional and Enterprise are rather high. Would you still recommend the cheaper "Pure" version ? I can see it does not support "High-Speed Search and Type Hierarchy". g Monday, December 14, 2009 (1:13:08 PM) Steven Sacks wrote: > FDT is pretty much your best choice. > On 12/14/2009 3:53 AM, Greg Ligierko wrote: >> I grown up with PC, Windows and in work I am completely happy with >> FlashDevelop + CS3.

If you want to see an example of FDT in action, check out the Robot Legs Hello World video tutorial. John doesn't touch the mouse once throughout the tutorial. It's pretty insane how much you can do in FDT without the mouse.

[Flashcoders] Erratic behaviour of TextEvent.LINK
Hi list, I'm currently building an application with FlashDevelop/FlashIDE that gets embedded into a Director standalone later on. My content gets loaded from xml files with CDATA sections containing html-formatted text like this chunk here: Marker: test oder PDF:mein pdf oder Link : mydomain.de ansteuern. The event is then captured by my swf and sent to the embedding Director App via LocalConnection. My problem is that at random one of my href's seems not to be captured(no linkage, no hand cursor, like it was plain text), even worse, testing it standalone yields different results from testing it with Director(in flash, all links work, in director one fails), and worst of all embedding the same CDATA in different xml files yields different failures (flash fails with one of the links embedded that worked flawlwssly in another xml) with the same data-I can see no method in this madness. Fruitless efforts to debug this included setting the textfields to selectable(after googling the TextEvent) to no avail. So I need a) some hint how to deal with textEvent.LINK properly and error-free or b) a plan B to capture links from html-formatted xml nodes and trigger some functions in Director. Kind of frustrated at the moment, glad for every input.

Re: [Flashcoders] What IDE on Mac ?
Thanks a lot. FDT looks impressive. I am testing the trial and seems to be very powerful. Auto creation of props and methods is cool. What is also important, very easy to install and set up. g Monday, December 14, 2009 (3:14:28 PM) Steven Sacks wrote: > If you want to see an example of FDT in action, check out the Robot Legs Hello > World video tutorial.

Re: [Flashcoders] Erratic behaviour of TextEvent.LINK
I worked a few times with HTMLText and the Link event, and didn't run into any significant problems. If I were you, i'd not be looking at any problems with that event, but more or less see what the differences are in the Director environment. I've not worked with Director alot, but does it embed it's own flash player? And which version does it embed, maybe there's some differences there. good luck, Meinte On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 4:15 PM, Wenzler, Thomas wrote: > Hi list, > I'm currently building an application with FlashDevelop/FlashIDE that > gets embedded into a Director standalone later on. > My content gets loaded from xml files with CDATA sections containing > html-formatted text like this chunk here: > Marker: test > oder PDF:mein pdf > oder Link : mydomain.de > ansteuern. > The event is then captured by my swf and sent to the embedding Director > App via LocalConnection. > My problem is that at random one of my href's seems not to be > captured(no linkage, no hand cursor, like it was plain text), even > worse, testing it standalone yields different results from testing it > with Director(in flash, all links work, in director one fails), and > worst of all embedding the same CDATA in different xml files yields > different failures (flash fails with one of the links embedded that > worked flawlwssly in another xml) with the same data-I can see no method > in this madness. > Fruitless efforts to debug this included setting the textfields to > selectable(after googling the TextEvent) to no avail. > So I need > a) some hint how to deal with textEvent.LINK properly and error-free > or > b) a plan B to capture links from html-formatted xml nodes and trigger > some functions in Director. > > Kind of frustrated at the moment, glad for every input. > Thanks in advance > Thomas > > ___ > Flashcoders mailing list > Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > -- Meinte van't Kruis Freelance Flash Platform Dev (mxml,actionscript,flex,air) malatze http://www.malatze.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/meinte mei...@malatze.com 0617459744 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Publish transparent .gif file in AS3
I'm not aware of any GIF encoders written in Actionscript. If you absolutely need to use GIF (and nobody has yet written an encoder in AS), I only see 3 options: 1) Get the GIF spec and write the encoder from scratch. 2) Find some open source encoder in other language (like Java) and port it to Actionscript. 3) As it was already suggested, use the PNGEncoder in as3corelib, send the encoded image to the server and have the server re-encode it to GIF. In php, using the GD library, re-encoding should be only a couple of lines. 1) is the hardest, and it's probably not worth the hassle. 2) is close to 1) in many ways. 3) is the most reasonable option, I think. Unless you absolutely need to do everything client side.

RE: [Flashcoders] Publish transparent .gif file in AS3
option 3 is easy. i don't know any php but have written little scripts that handle that sort of thing. check the php online documentation. in fact example #2 for imagegif function is exactly what juan suggests: http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.imagegif.php > Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:39:10 -0300 > Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Publish transparent .gif file in AS3 > From: califa010.flashcod...@gmail.com > To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > > I'm not aware of any GIF encoders written in Actionscript. > > If you absolutely need to use GIF (and nobody has yet written an encoder in > AS), I only see 3 options: > > 1) Get the GIF spec and write the encoder from scratch. > 2) Find some open source encoder in other language (like Java) and port it > to Actionscript. > 3) As it was already suggested, use the PNGEncoder in as3corelib, send the > encoded image to the server and have the server re-encode it to GIF.
