Re: [Flashcoders] Known memory leaks in FP10
Yes, I am already using that unloadAndStop()-method but I haven't had much yet. I am experience a rise in cpu usage each time I am switching client SWF files. After it's loaded it drops back to normal 20-30% cpu usage but after running it for a few hours. You can see that the switching between takes longer and longer every time. Does that mean something isn't correctly cleaned up like some MovieClip which ain't stopped or an Timer-class instance? How can I hunt such things down? The Flex Builder profile is not of much help because it crashes after a while or gives or null exception in the ProfilerAgent class. Desperate!

[Flashcoders] I Must Be Asking This Question Wrong...
Hi;
I have posted this question so many times in so many forums and not gotten
an answer that I'm simply asking the helpful, mature people of this list to
help me understand better how to ask this question in a way that would
elicit a helpful response.
TIA,
beno
I have asked this in the newbies d'list, Adobe's d'list and of the two
listers here kind enough to offer off-list help and all to no avail, so with
your permission I'm now asking it here.
Hi;
I have this code:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
public class Main2 extends MovieClip
{
//Import Library Assests
public var myThumb:CloseThumb;
public function Main2()
{
init();
}
public function init():void
{
theThumb();
}
public function theThumb():void
{
myThumb = new CloseThumb();
myThumb.x = 365;
myThumb.y = 355;
myThumb.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame);
}
public function checkFrame(e:Event):void {
if (e.target.currentFrame == 1) {
e.target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame);
trace('check');
addChild(myThumb);
TweenMax.to(myThumb, .4, {shortRotation:{rotation:60}, ease:Back.easeOut});
}
}
}
}
It works fine. The problem is that if I change currentFrame from == 1 to any
other value, it breaks. The reason apparently is because the mc in the fla
is only 1 frame long. Now, I need to be able to call it from various frames.
I've been told to extend it to, for example, 2 frames, but that does
nothing. My main timeline also has but one frame calling the actionscript.
Apparently it's useless to have a listener checkframe on an mc that has 1
frame. Please advise.
TIA,
beno

Re: [Flashcoders] I Must Be Asking This Question Wrong...
So you are adding the myThumb and Tweening it somewhere?
You might want to make myThumb do the Tween again from other frames in
your movie?
Maybe define a function in your class that is not depending on the
ENTER_FRAME event?
public function doTween():void {
addChild(myThumb):
TweenMax.to(myThumb, .4, {shortRotation:{rotation:60},
ease:Back.easeOut,/onComplete/:onFinishTween});
}
//If you want to get rid of the thumb after the tween has finished, then
add the onComplete handler above to point here...
public function onFinishTween():void {
removeChild(myThumb);
}
//Then in your theThumb function:

myThumb = new CloseThumb();
myThumb.x = 365;

Hi,
Colon was a typo, sorry.
Also, I think the /onComplete/ bit is a pasting problem...
It should say onComplete - no slashes:
TweenMax.to(myThumb, .4, {shortRotation:{rotation:60},
ease:Back.easeOut,onComplete:onFinishTween});
If you want your thumb to yoyo or repeat tweening, you can do that
with the TweenMax too - look for examples of yoyo and repeat in the
docs for TweenMax.
Useful page? http://blog.greensock.com/get-started-tweening/

Re: [Flashcoders] I Must Be Asking This Question Wrong...
Are you trying to see if the current frame of myThumb is 10, or the
current frame of the Main clip?
If you are looking at the current frame of the Main clip, then
e.target.currentFrame should be changed to this.currentFrame.
If these don't have 10 or more frames, then your code won't work. If
you need to have a check based on the number of times something is
called, e.g. the enterframe handler, then use a counter to increment
until it gets to your magic number then do something:
//class variable called counter.
private var counter:int = 0;
public function checkFrame(e:Event):void {
if (counter == 10) {
doTween();
counter = 0;
} else {
counter++;

[Flashcoders] 9-Slice scaling strange behaviour... - Flash CS3
Hi, I am running into a bizarre problem with Flash CS3 - when I enable 9-slice scaling for a clip, it suddenly becomes transparent if it is placed on stage... 1. Create a shape, convert to a symbol, enable 9-Slice scaling - disappears??? It's still there on stage as it has the selection border for MC's... Has anyone seen this? Is it some bizzare corruption with the Flash install, or an IDE bug?

need to have a check based on the number of times something is called, e.g.
the enterframe handler, then use a counter to increment until it gets to
your magic number then do something:
//class variable called counter.
private var counter:int = 0;
public function checkFrame(e:Event):void {
if (counter == 10) {
doTween();
counter = 0;
} else {
counter++;
}
}
I tried this:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
// import CloseThumb;
public class Main2 extends MovieClip
{
public var myThumb:CloseThumb;
private var counter:int = 0;
public function Main2()
{
init();
}
public function init():void
{
//CloseThumb();
theThumb();
}
public function checkFrame(e:Event):void {
if (counter == 10) {
doTween();
counter = 0;
} else {
counter++;
trace(counter);
}
}
public function doTween():void {
addChild(myThumb);
TweenMax.to(myThumb, .4, {shortRotation:{rotation:60},
ease:Back.easeOut,onComplete:onFinishTween});
}
//If you want to get rid of the thumb after the tween has finished, then add
the onComplete handler above to point here...
public function onFinishTween():void {
removeChild(myThumb);
}
//Then in your theThumb function:
public function theThumb():void
{
myThumb = new CloseThumb();
myThumb.x = 365;
myThumb.y = 355;
myThumb.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame);
}
// public function checkFrame(e:Event):void {
// if (e.target.currentFrame == 2) {
// doTween();
// }
// }
}
}
It didn't trace the counter. I tried it in the real program (we're working
with a stripped-down version) but it didn't print, nor throw errors.
TIA,
beno

It works fine. The problem is that if I change currentFrame from == 1 to any
other value, it breaks. The reason apparently is because the mc in the fla
is only 1 frame long. Now, I need to be able to call it from various frames.
I've been told to extend it to, for example, 2 frames, but that does
nothing. My main timeline also has but one frame calling the actionscript.
Apparently it's useless to have a listener checkframe on an mc that has 1
frame.
It sounds like you pretty much answered the question yourself. If your
movie is only 1 frame long, naturally it won't execute if you test for
frame 2. I'm not sure why you would want to check for frame 2, anyway.
For that matter, I'm not sure why you're checking for frame 1 if you
know that's where you'll always be. I'm afraid I also don't understand
what you're doing with the checkFrame handler, anyway. All it does is
remove itself, at least from the code you posted, so I don't
understand what the handler does.
A lot of AS3 movies are single-frame movies because AS3 lends itself
to OOP programming so well. I do a lot of enterFrame handling in my
movies, so it's not intrinsically bad.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson

It means you're trying to manipulate an object represented by a variable with a
null value.
For instance,
var mc:MovieClip;
mc.x = 9;
will generate that error as you've just defined that mc will be a movieclip and
its initial value is null.
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.x = 9;
Will not generate the error, nor will
var mc:MovieClip;
if (mc) { // check to see if mc is null before accessing it
mc.x = 9;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] I Must Be Asking This Question Wrong...
Frankly I'm glad things have slowed down. Let me play Devil's Advocate and
state explicitly I don't want you to do my work for me. I want you to help
me understand what it is I need to do. This morning, two very kind people
reached out to help me simultaneously. Their methodology was completely
different the one from the other. Their attitude was stellar but their
delivery beyond what they should have offered. Make_me_work. I'm not afraid
of working. I like it. I need to learn this for myself. Suggest...and make
me sweat. As it was, I was doing everything I could to keep up with the two
of you! Now that things have calmed down, I've had a chance to review your
suggestions and try to make sense of the vis-a-vis my code.
One lister commented I'm the most expensive programmer on the planet. I
laughed my a$$ off. It may be true. However, it's equally true I am
sincerely trying my best. Again, I'm an artist, and positively gifted at
that. (Or, as I would say, I'm really good at listening to the Muses. I'm
not the artist. They are.) This will be incorporated into my art, so it's
more than just a revenue generator. But as an artist, I really have a very
difficult time thinking like a left-brain programmer. Please believe me when
I tell you I'm doing the very best I can. I would never abuse your help,
even though it may seem that way to some of you left-brainers. If you could
walk a mile in my moccasins, you would have an entirely different
perspective on this matter, I assure you.
Lastly, before I get into the code, let me state that the Moock book should
arrive by Friday. Hopefully I'll be able to answer most of my own questions
by then, which--believe it or not--is what I would prefer to do. I don't
want to be the most expensive programmer in the world. I want to do it
myself, at least as much as I possibly can. I want your respect, not your
charity.
So, the code. Working with Glen Pike's suggestions of keeping it all in the
same class, I've refined my code to this:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
public class Main2 extends MovieClip
{
trace('hi');
public var myThumb:CloseThumb;
private var counter:int = 0;
public function Main2()
{
trace('Main2');
init();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame);
}
public function init():void
{
trace('init');
theThumb();
}
public function checkFrame(e:Event):void
{
if (counter == 10)
{
doTween();
counter = 0;
} else
{
counter++;
trace(counter);
}
}
public function doTween():void
{
trace('doTween');
addChild(myThumb);
TweenMax.to(myThumb, .4, {shortRotation:{rotation:60},
ease:Back.easeOut,onComplete:onFinishTween});
}
public function onFinishTween():void
{
removeChild(myThumb);
}
public function theThumb():void
{
trace('theThumb');
myThumb = new CloseThumb();
myThumb.x = 365;
myThumb.y = 355;
}
}
}
Notice all the traces I have. Not a single one prints. It would help me to
know why. The mc CloseThumb does not play, either. What traces is the
following:
at Main2/theThumb()
at Main2/init()
at Main2
I would like to know what that means since I've seen it so many times.
Here's Cor's version of separating out a new class called CloseThumb() and
calling it from the main class. First, the Main2.as:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import CloseThumb;
public class Main2 extends MovieClip
{
trace('hi');
private var myThumb:CloseThumb = new CloseThumb();
public function Main2()
{
trace('Main2');
init();
}
public function init():void
{
trace('init');
CloseThumb();
}
}
}
Now, here's CloseThumb.as:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

myself, at least as much as I possibly can. I want your respect, not
your

So, the code. Working with Glen Pike's suggestions of keeping it all
in the
same class, I've refined my code to this:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
public class Main2 extends MovieClip
{
trace('hi');
public var myThumb:CloseThumb;
private var counter:int = 0;
public function Main2()
{
trace('Main2');
init();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame);
}
public function init():void
{
trace('init');
theThumb();
}
public function checkFrame(e:Event):void
{
if (counter == 10)
{
doTween();
counter = 0;
} else
{
counter++;
trace(counter);
}
}
public function doTween():void
{
trace('doTween');
addChild(myThumb);
TweenMax.to(myThumb, .4, {shortRotation:{rotation:60},
ease:Back.easeOut,onComplete:onFinishTween});
}
public function onFinishTween():void
{
removeChild(myThumb);
}
public function theThumb():void
{
trace('theThumb');
myThumb = new CloseThumb();
myThumb.x = 365;
myThumb.y = 355;
}
}
}
Notice all the traces I have. Not a single one prints. It would help
me to
know why. The mc CloseThumb does not play, either. What traces is the
following:
at Main2/theThumb()
at Main2/init()
at Main2
I would like to know what that means since I've seen it so many times.
Here's Cor's version of separating out a new class called
CloseThumb() and
calling it from the main class. First, the Main2.as:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import CloseThumb;
public class Main2 extends MovieClip
{
trace('hi');
private var myThumb:CloseThumb = new CloseThumb();
public function Main2()
{
trace('Main2');
init();
}
public function init():void
{
trace('init');
CloseThumb();
}
}
}
Now, here's CloseThumb.as:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;

public var myThumb:CloseThumb;
public function CloseThumb()
{
init();
}
public function init():void

theThumb();

[Flashcoders] XMLList question
Hello,
I'm parsing following XML:
var lobby:XML =
lobby
info
idDE2/id
nameAlex/name
avatar2_1211369175.jpg/avatar
/info
info
idDE55/id
nameVasja/name
avatar55_1232308551.jpg/avatar
/info
/lobby;
var _people:Array = new Array();
setLobby(lobby.info);
function setLobby(list:XMLList):void {
for each (var info in list) {
var item:Object = {label: info.name, userid: info.id};
_people.push(item);
}
}
- but when I look in the debugger at the elements
of the _people array, then I see that label and
userid members are of type XMLList and not String.
And that is why my string comparisions later in the code do not work.
Am I supposed to call toString() explicitly:
var item:Object = {label: info.name.toString(), userid:
info.id.toString()};
or is there a more natural way?
Thank you
Alex

Re: [Flashcoders] XMLList question
XMLList implicitly converts to XML resulting in either the only XML object in the list or a runtime error. XML in turn implicitly converts to String. There is little you can do to fix your issue that you have not already done. The toString method does the same thing as the implicit conversions. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] I Must Be Asking This Question Wrong...
Hi Beno,
Okay - I tried to use the FLA you posted, but don't have CS4, so I can't
open it, but I have got my example to run okay.
That's probably the limit of my generosity for now as I am going to be
too busy to help over the next few days and now it's your turn :)
So please digest some of the stuff in the code and look in the AS3
documentation for MovieClip about it's Events like ADDED_TO_STAGE,
ENTER_FRAME, etc. to get more of a grasp on how these things might work.
The Events stuff is all over the place in AS3 - not so much in
PHP/Python land (unless you are familiar with callbacks =~ events)
because a lot of Web based stuff is stateless - you call a URL, your
code calls a load of functions in series and draws you a page,
finished. You should make understanding events stuff a priority in
order to get your head around the style of coding most of us are doing -
it's just like the old on(enterFrame) { trace(hello from + this) }
or myClip.onRelease = function() { trace(you clicked me) } code from
AS1 / AS2 days, but slightly less forgiving. Admittedly AS3 is a
steeper curve, but you can still write in AS2 style for some stuff -
check out this book / PDF, which is very useful and easy to follow too
https://www.adobe.com/devnet/actionscript/articles/as3_migration_cookbook/as3_migration_cookbook.pdf
I did run the code at the bottom of the email in FlashDevelop - and it
works as I think you intend, but I am not 100% at what you are aiming
at. I commented it to show what I am trying to acheive.
When you say about the traces for both sets of code in your last email
- these are not traces, they are output from the Flash compiler or
Flash player complaining about something. The first one;
at Main2/theThumb()
at Main2/init()
at Main2
is an Exception, which possibly happens because Flash is not ready to do
stuff on stage when Main2() is started. (I added the
Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE handler to hopefully combat this...)
The 2nd error message is from the compiler (look at the panel it appears
in).
Main2.as, Line 28 1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 1.
Google AS3 #1136 if you don't understand the message - (same for any
error number you don't understand) This one means you are calling a
function with the wrong number of parameters, e.g. gotoAndStop() -
should be gotoAndStop(frameNumber) - look in the Source column of the
Compiler Errors panel to tell you more info, but the Line 28 will give
you a big clue as to where you are going wrong - I could not see in your
code because the formatting maybe broken by the email...

OT I see your point, but I am a masochist/sucker in some ways - I will help often more than is necessary - but yes, I agree beno has got do do his homework too - which is what I said in a previous post when I was feeling a bit narky - don't we all sometimes ;) I started helping beno and felt it was only fair to finish my help at a suitable point rather than leave him hanging. I feel I did make it clear that there was a limit to that generosity too, so fingers crossed, even vampires can be cured if they see the light (although Daybreakers was utter sh***) I am an optimist and maybe beno can be a good AS3 coder one day, maybe not, but this also helps me become a better coder by explaining to others on every level. Surely we all get a lot of free work out of you too - by using Gaia. I think you could say it some stuff all goes around somehow. Do you feel drained by Gaia/support some days? Other days if you help someone out and they become better for it does that not give you satisfaction and make it worthwhile? Hopefully that's not too patronising - more of a philosophical question to ask yourself. We may differ totally, but that's okay because at least you have a GSOH. Tired now, bedtime.

RE: [Flashcoders] XMLList question
This is how I would traverse that XML, seems more natural to me to do it
this way:
Given your XML:
var lobby:XML =
lobby
info
idDE2/id
nameAlex/name
avatar2_1211369175.jpg/avatar
/info
info
idDE55/id
nameVasja/name
avatar55_1232308551.jpg/avatar
/info
/lobby;
Then:
var _people:Array = [];
for each (var infoXML:XML in lobby.info)
{
var personVO:PersonVO = new PersonVO();
personVO.label = infoXML.name;
personVO.userid = infoXML.id;
_people.push(personVO);
}
where PersonVO is a class that acts only as a Value Object (aka DTO -
data transfer object), i.e.:
package
{
public class PersonVO
{
public var name:String;
public var userid:int;
}
}
This allows typecasting and avoids generic objects among other things
(like using the Vector class in FP10, you can typecast the array of your
value objects - nice). See info here on DTOs/VOs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_Objects
I would also, if possible, recommend changing your XML to this form
instead:
var lobby:XML = xml
items
item id=DE2 name=Alex
avatar=2_1211369175.jpg /
item id=DE55 name=Vasja
avatar=55_1232308551.jpg /
/items
/xml;
Much more compact that way (6 lines of XML vs. 12), fewer characters,
succinct and as the file grows, will result in a much smaller filesize
(and IMO, also easier to read). In my opinion, you would only need to
break out into child nodes if the data was large enough to warrant it
(i.e. a paragraph or long sentence of text), or there were sub
hierarchies of the data where it made sense to have child nodes. In all
other cases, I default to using attributes. But that's just me.
Hope that helps,

Re: OT Re: [Flashcoders] I Must Be Asking This Question Wrong...
I think you made a very good point right here: Surely we all get a lot of free work out of you too - by using Gaia. Yes, what I provided for free benefits more than just one person, it benefits the community. The only person benefiting from free work here is beno. There's nothing to be learned by a third party from the custom files that are being sent back and forth to beno. Also, here's another key thing you said: I started helping beno and felt it was only fair to finish my help at a suitable point rather than leave him hanging. This was exactly the guilt trip that beno gave to this list when Kerry didn't do beno's work for him. There was quite a row about this when it happened many months ago. Kerry felt awful and beno let the whole list know just how much Kerry let him down and how wrong he was for doing it. beno isn't meeting anyone halfway. You should be able to get him started down the right path, and if he had a modicum of knowledge or experience, he would be able to do it himself, but that's not what's going on. He's getting you to do it soup to nuts for free. That's not support, that's doing his work for free. You're being conned. beno is always asking for things that are way out of his league and expecting people to spend tons of time explaining things to him which eventually ends up in people just doing it for him since it quickly becomes obvious he's not going to be able to do it himself and it would just take less time to do it than to explain it. You have to walk before you can run, and beno refuses to pay his dues and learn anything on his own. He's a help vampire, nothing more. All of this happens under the thinly veiled guise of support, and if you don't support him, he guilt trips you publicly for letting him down and tells you a sob story about how in his country computers have hamsters on wheels for power supplies and his hamster is sick and he promised his client he would have this done in only two weeks when he didn't know how to do it in the first place. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] XMLList question
As a rule, I only put string values that never contain special characters in
attributes, otherwise you end up with XML validation errors (like putting
ampersands in attributes).
Also, I generally put parsing code inside the constructor of the VO class (well,
I call deserialize() because code inside constructors are interpreted).
public class ValueObject
{
public var foo:String;
public var bar:String;
public function ValueObject(node:XML)
{
deserialize(node);
}
private function deserialize(node:XML):void
{
foo = no...@foo;
bar = node.bar;
}
}
There are exceptions to this rule, but they're rare.
It makes it really easy to share VOs between multiple service classes when the
parsing logic is contained with the VO instead of each service class (assuming
that the xml is homogenized).

Re: [Flashcoders] XMLList question
I'm siding with Steven on this one.
Beno seems to be the worst offender, but it's not just him. It's quite clear
that he doesn't understand the fundamentals and basics -- that's his main
problem.
He's working off of a very shallow and glib understanding of things, thus
it's a recurring issue where he comes to the list and asks for help whenever
he hits a wall.
Asking for help is not bad, asking for help on questions that you really
should know the answer to and if you don't you should figure it out on your
own, is just lazy. Pick up a book on Actionscript and OOP fundamentals and
then you can start coming to the list to ask for help.

RE: OT Re: [Flashcoders] I Must Be Asking This Question Wrong...
Regarding the beno problem. Yeah, I came here from Flashnewbies a long time ago, and when I first started, I really didn't even know what 90% of what anyone was saying. But I kept listening - after about 6 months of listening, trying things on my own, reading, trying, experimenting, reading just about every page of Flash help's documentation, I began to understand and ask questions. Nowadays I consider myself an Actionscript / Flash pro and answer way more questions than I ask. Not bragging, but I didn't get to an expert level overnight, it was a lot of blood, sweat and tears over many years. Thousands and thousands of hours spent learning about Flash and Actionscript. Beno is jumping into Papervision3D at the same time he's asking how to write a class. It's a bit like the American Idol tryouts my uh... wife... is watching in the next room right now. Some people need to be more honest about their abilities and take it one step at a time before jumping into the big pool with the thought they are only one or two notes away from a Grammy. It doesn't mean beno is dumb or can't do it, it just means he can't do it all at once and needs to make an honest assessment of what to focus on first. I think the thing that is irritating people (and why I haven't been jumping in too much to help) is beno's modus operandi is to post some code and say it doesn't work - implement some code someone else writes as a possible solution, then re-post and say it doesn't work - he may have made some minor tweaks, but it's clear there are a lot of fundamental principles that are lacking in his understanding, or at least a lack of critical thinking to get at the logic behind the problem. If you've ever read the Sci Fi book Gateway by Frederick Pohl, the basic plot, (without spoiling anything if you plan to read it) is that the people of earth have discovered a huge trove of abandoned but still functioning alien spaceships which can take them all over the universe. With these ships, they have the possibility of discovering huge riches, but they don't know how to operate the controls to the ships, so they just get in and start pressing buttons. Some people make it out and back ok, but some people never come back or never come back in one piece. They just keep pressing weird buttons and turning strange knobs over and over and over and never learn anything, they are only focused on the end goal, not the mechanics of getting them there. A small few make it rich, but many people go nowhere and many others die. Along with Moock's, it's a great book.

Re: [Flashcoders] WIRED hates Flash
Now this is interesting too. Wired, through their 'Top Stories' feed ( http://feeds.wired.com/wired/index ) say this: A Swiss startup has created a sleek video player that looks like Flash Player and works in multiple browsers, but uses only HTML5 and web standards. They then link to a Webmonkey article: http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/SublimeVideo_Hopes_to_Simplify_HTML5_Web_Video Which give s a pretty fair round-up of the current issues with video in HTML5. But still, Wired are singing the praises of this barely viable solution. So yes, Wired do seem to hate Flash...

Ok, I give, reading beno's posts have become something of a guilty
pleasure. Steven's hamster computer comment actually did make me
laugh out loud.
Dave, I wish that you would just ban beno from the list. Clearly,
while he is generating a lot of traffic, it's all just OT crap.
As a lurker, I just use this list to populate my google account as a
repository for Flash coding searches. I use Flash rarely. I spend most
of my time doing ASP .NET (c#) coding.
If I conducted myself like beno on any list, I would expect to be
banned and I would deserve to be banned.

So, the code. Working with Glen Pike's suggestions of keeping it all
in the
same class, I've refined my code to this:

{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

{

public var myThumb:CloseThumb;
private var counter:int = 0;
public function Main2()
{
trace('Main2');
init();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame);
}
public function init():void
{
trace('init');
theThumb();
}
public function checkFrame(e:Event):void
{
if (counter == 10)
{
doTween();
counter = 0;
} else
{
counter++;
trace(counter);
}
}
public function doTween():void
{
trace('doTween');
addChild(myThumb);
TweenMax.to(myThumb, .4, {shortRotation:{rotation:60},
ease:Back.easeOut,onComplete:onFinishTween});
}
public function onFinishTween():void
{
removeChild(myThumb);
}
public function theThumb():void
{
trace('theThumb');
myThumb = new CloseThumb();
myThumb.x = 365;
myThumb.y = 355;
}
}
}
Notice all the traces I have. Not a single one prints. It would help
me to
know why. The mc CloseThumb does not play, either. What traces is the
following:
at Main2/theThumb()
at Main2/init()
at Main2
I would like to know what that means since I've seen it so many
times.
Here's Cor's version of separating out a new class called
CloseThumb() and
calling it from the main class. First, the Main2.as:

Re: [Flashcoders] I Must Be Asking This Question Wrong...
+1 to banning.
Although, I am an active AS3 developer, unlike Bill.
beno generates way too much garbage to have to sort through when I actually
want to look through the topics and see if there is anybody I can help with
my knowledge, or if I can learn anything from the things people have been
discussing.
beno's questions are soo simplistic and quite clearly manifest general
laziness on his part of not actually trying to learn the fundamentals and
not doing proper research and discovery as needed.
He's like a bad framework, way too much bloat at way too high a cost.
Time to part ways, he clearly annoys a lot of people and he doesn't
contribute anything productive to this list, so why keep him around?

Re: [Flashcoders] WIRED hates Flash
Paul, If I remember correctly, Apple is the little company that has the Mac- it's like a PC only expensive and the software you use probably doesn't work on it. Apple had a good thing way back when and they decided not to let other companies build their hardware. Now they have a hobby market for their machine. They are trying to do the same thing with their phones. They have a great product. But they are attempting to control their market with a straitjacket. These tactics will marginalize their new device to a smaller religiously devoted following- just as happened with the Mac. Which is probably why Apple's cell phone ...market share fell from 18.1% in the third quarter to 16.6% ( http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3i5b66cf41076535513394892bc43fb243 ) They are making good money- I wouldn't mind making that much money, but they could be even bigger.
