RE: [Flashcoders] Getting the line index at the caretIndex
After *appending* a character the caret is positioned after the last
character input pointing to the next position it will accept input.
Hence when you call getLineIndexOfChar(caret) you ask for info about a none
existing character.
This should work:
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
tf.border=true;
tf.multiline = true;
tf.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, onChange);
addChild(tf);
function onChange(event:Event):void
{
var newCharIndex:int = tf.caretIndex-1;
var line:int = tf.getLineIndexOfChar(newCharIndex);
trace(caretIndex= + tf.caretIndex + , newCharIndex= + newCharIndex
+
, char= +
tf.text.charAt(newCharIndex).replace(/\r/,\\r) + , line= + line);
}
Cheers, Benny

Re: [Flashcoders] @#$% New iPhone Developer Agr eement Bans the Use of Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhon e Compiler
Here's an interesting point I forgot about (not the timing but these specific repercussions): But they announced it within 3 days (!!!) of the Adobe CS5 release. Meaning Adobe has no chance to do anything about it - information about Flash on iPhone is all over CS5 boxes, webpages, press releases, manuals... everywhere Ouch!

AS2 to AS3 pleasantly stretched it. Dunno, I've a .NET colleague and if you asked him, he'd say he'd rather approach developing an iPhone app in C than ActionScript. Thus, repeating, maybe Apple is trying to burn Microsoft by harnessing the power of the developers they've cultivated through .NET.

My theory is that it's about vendor lock-in. Cross platform development offers a way around it -- if the exact same apps you payed for and, maybe more importantly, got used to, are available for Android, then you can switch away from iPhone OS. Mobile devices always are a compromise. You weight CPU performance against battery life, make a decision about screen size, and so on. Apple has a two-sizes-fit-all product line, while a number of manufacturers produce a growing variety of Android devices. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

But I wonder how much of this is based on the old MS vs Apple war - calculated on the fact there's probably more C++ than ActionScript developers out there. I don't really think that's the right comparison, though. AS3 is a lot more like Java and C# than C++ is, actually. The core syntax is very similar across all four of those languages, of course, but the way you approach problems in AS3, Java and C# is different from how you approach them in C++ in many ways - primarily because you don't manage memory directly in the first three, I think. Nowadays, there really aren't that many people working in C++ directly in the enterprise. Java and C# are really the dominant enterprise programming languages now. Apple has always been both a hardware *and* software giant despite its small market share, unique. But they seem to be gambling that on a gambit that they can leverage their present advantage in mobile market to finally be the king. I don't even think it's really that. Apple doesn't need to be the king, they just want to have complete control of their niche. If their niche grows a bit in the consumer market, so much the better, but Apple has always been about control over openness.

Yeah, you don't think that you need to manage memory in those. But you do. Just not as often. And not in the same way, either. But yes, there are memory management concerns in VM languages too, you just don't typically get faced with them directly every time you do something.

[Flashcoders] Recommended set-up for Flash Builder 4?

I'm mainly thinking of my coworker with a .NET background., and I'm assuming Objective C is closer to C# than ActiionScript. When you're up against deadlines and the decision to outsource or not, taking the Flash development platform off the table is huge. I'm just searching for the rationality behind the change in the developer agreement. Why should Apple care how an app was developed when they can already accept or reject everything already through the app store? Again as a Mac devotee, the first thing that pops into my mind is settling old scores. There has to be a reason behind the decision, and I'm struggling to comprehend it.

If their niche grows a bit in the consumer market, so much the better, but Apple has always been about control over openness. Agreed, and a large part of the Apple appeal is consistency in the UI and they've always enforced consistency. How that consistency is achieved, as described in the change in the developer agreement is a whole new ball game. It doesn't make sense to me as an Apple shareholder or developer. It's just weird! A lot of outrage hass been expressed, but there has to be a why. Why? PS.
