Re: [Flashcoders] Isometric Graphics Libraries
Thanks Chris and Michael, I was looking for artwork assets - not code, had a search on exchange and only 1 library listed in there - seems there's not much about - less than I expected anyhow. Will post back if I hit upon anything - any isometric designers out there - take note, might be a freelance contract for this one in a few weeks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Best (fastest/memory efficient) way to animate bitmaps
i was always under the impression that the best way of doing that (for games sprite animations for instance) is bitmap 'blitting' where you use a tilesheet and then use bitmap draw to pull the current frame you want to show into your actual sprite a quick search turned this up which looks pretty comprehensive: http://www.8bitrocket.com/2008/07/02/tutorial-as3-the-basics-of-tile-sheet-animation-or-blitting/ http://www.8bitrocket.com/2008/07/02/tutorial-as3-the-basics-of-tile-sheet-animation-or-blitting/ best a On 8 September 2010 20:21, Zeh Fernando z...@zehfernando.com wrote: Just have them all on stage and set visible on and off.

Re: [Flashcoders] Best (fastest/memory efficient) way to animate bitmaps
but for frame by frame animation (ie: one bitmap per frame), the method Zeh
said is the fastest... all bitmaps on stage, visible=true or visible=false
var currentFrame:int = 0;
var bitmaps:Array = [ ... push the bitmap instances into this array ... ];
function enterFrameLoop (e:Event):void {
animateBitmaps();
currentFrame++;

Re: [Flashcoders] Best (fastest/memory efficient) way to animate bitmaps
We use the single Bitmap many BitmapData method on expensive animations (having pre-cached various timelines as arrays of BitmapData) outputting them on the frame rate by reassignment of the Bitmap.bitmapData property. It's been a while since I wrote the engine we use for it but I optimised/benchmarked it a lot and I think it was the best way - especially if you've multiple instances. Many, many times faster than playing a movieclip that's for sure - and faster than doing copyPixels from a master sheet. Of course - it can have a hefty memory footprint for longer animations so management / cleanup is important.

That may be why your getting a blue background.
First up, I fixed the flame coming back. As I supposed, that was easy. The
problem remains with making the background disappear. I've reworked the code
some:

_blueArray.push(255);
} else {
_redArray.push(gp);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
}
I've changed the if statement. Values of gp less than 1050112 are that which
are not the flame, therefore are the background which should be set to alpha=0.
When _bitmapFlag == true, then it's the mask that's being painted; otherwise,
the sprite being masked (the else if statement). The final else statement is
for the flame itself. Interestingly, changing the value of either the blue,
green or alpha of that final else statement to 255 gives a blue flame with
white border and very attractive, though not what I want. I wonder why changing
the alpha especially would have that effect.
I guess what I'm not clear about is the values I'm pushing. If I push
255 for the red, green and blue arrays, does that result in white? If I
push 0 for alpha, is that the same as alpha=0 or alpha=1?
Here again is the code for building the sprites:
private function _onLoadedAll(e:Event):void
{
_onLoadedContent(e, _bitmapFlag = false);
_onLoadedContent(e, _bitmapFlag = true);
}
private function _onLoadedContent(e:Event, _bitmapFlag:Boolean):void {
_fireColor = Bitmap(LoaderInfo(e.target).loader.content).bitmapData;
...
if (_bitmapFlag == false)
{
_fire = new BitmapData(865, 92, _bitmapFlag, 0xff);
addChild(new Bitmap(_fire));
_fireSprite.addChild(new Bitmap(_fireMask));
addChild(_fireSprite);
_fireSprite.mask = _fireMaskSprite;
_fireSprite.cacheAsBitmap = true;
} else {
_fireMask = new BitmapData(865, 92, _bitmapFlag, 0xff);
_fireMaskSprite.addChild(new Bitmap(_fireMask));
addChild(_fireMaskSprite);
_fireMaskSprite.cacheAsBitmap = true;
}
I'm wondering now if this is possible, to mask the flame only and let the
background show.
The following combinations give me a blue background and flame:

It means no external application logic can be loaded and executed; you can load visual assets but no runtime code libraries.

Re: [Flashcoders] Apple changes their guidelines
I am guessing you App cannot be a shell for other code that is not downloaded from the AppStore - so your Flash iPhone app has to be totally self-contained, not like you can download the Flex Framework, etc. as external resources. You might be allowed to download graphics. Depending on the legalese, you could argue that reading websites that display source is downloading other code, but then I am guessing the agreement is better worded than that. e.g. you can't write your own App store, web-browser that runs js, etc. Glen On 09/09/2010 16:37, Kurt Dommermuth wrote: Hi Nathan, It's the agreement they are referring to where the legalese is that sucks to read.

[Flashcoders] access a mc in stage from a class
hi,
i'm trying to migrate from as2... and I need to access a mc named mc1 that is
on stage. no class associated with this mc, only 1 class for the entire movie.
I have the following class:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
public class foo
{
//constructor
public function foo():void
{
trace(hi)
mc1.x+=30; - don't work.
}
}
how can I inform the class that I have a mc (mc1) in the stage in order to
access i´'s properties and methods? tried with addChild too but had no luck.
thanks,
rodrigo.

RE: [Flashcoders] Apple changes their guidelines
I don't think Apple would consider XML as code - it would be data. If that were the case, that would restricts thousands and thousands of existing apps that do the same thing. I think for security reasons they mean runtime code that executes and is external to the app itself.

Exactly. I don't think XML would be considered code, but they could justify anything they want. All in all, I'm pretty damn excited. Personally I was crushed when Apple blocked CS5 and unfortunately for Adobe I couldn't justify an upgrade. Now I can. I'm sure I'm not alone.

[Flashcoders] TweenMax.allTo()
So in Greensock's TweenMax, you can tween and stagger (delay) the tweens
of multiple sprites at once, via giving a method like, allTo an array
of objects (in this example, _blockViews):
TweenMax.allTo(_blockViews, 1, { alpha:1, y:150 }, .2);
However, this assumes you want all the tweens to tween to the same
property value. What if I wanted all the objects to end up at various Y
locations instead of 150? As it is in the code above, they all tween to
y=150. Is there a way to provide an array of y locations that each
object moves to and have then staggered (as you can with the allTo()
method)?
I can of course accomplish this by writing some Timer event code to
tween each object individually and accomplish what I want - ending up at
varying Y locations, but I'd rather not have to write all that code -
shouldn't there be a way to do this with TweenMax's sequencing
capabilities? Would this be a case where you would use TimelineMax and
append several tweens? If so, how would you also stagger them?

RE: [Flashcoders] access a mc in stage from a class
Not to the constructor of a document class, but you should think about what
you're trying to accomplish. I would recommend if you're moving to AS3
classes, you break this project into varying classes that are instantiated from
the document class. You can of course send arguments to the constructors of
other classes. I wouldn't recommend mixing timeline code and external classes.

Of course I agree with Jason.
Another option in this case is not using the Document class (which is the
best practice), but in your first frame at the top of your actionscript,
something like this:
var myFoo:Foo = new Foo();

of objects (in this example, _blockViews):
TweenMax.allTo(_blockViews, 1, { alpha:1, y:150 }, .2);
However, this assumes you want all the tweens to tween to the same
property value. What if I wanted all the objects to end up at various Y
locations instead of 150? As it is in the code above, they all tween to
y=150. Is there a way to provide an array of y locations that each
object moves to and have then staggered (as you can with the allTo()
method)?
I can of course accomplish this by writing some Timer event code to
tween each object individually and accomplish what I want - ending up at
varying Y locations, but I'd rather not have to write all that code -
shouldn't there be a way to do this with TweenMax's sequencing
capabilities? Would this be a case where you would use TimelineMax and
append several tweens? If so, how would you also stagger them?

Re: [Flashcoders] TweenMax.allTo()
You could also do an onComplete call to a function that will add to a
counter variable that you can then access as nameOfArray[counter] for the Y
parameter.
Of course, I have not used the allTo function. But this has worked for
the regular to and from methods.

the problem start here because i want a mic and recorder instance ONLY if
the connection class could connect. that is different from :

how can I have something like listening for the connection class event

Re: [Flashcoders] Impossible?
Oh but your so close. :)
Do you have a link to the results your getting?
All you want is red fire on a transparent background right?
I know that in PHP image creation, you have to set how the pixels
blend as well after you get the color matrix.
EG: overlay, subtract, add, etc.
Is there maybe something missing here?
Blendmode?
also, if the pixels that are gp are the ones you want transparent,
would
if (_bitmapFlag == true gp 1050112)
{
_redArray.push(gp);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
} else if (_bitmapFlag == false gp 1050112) {
_redArray.push(255);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(gp);
_blueArray.push(gp);
} else {
_redArray.push(255);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
}
work?

Shouldn't this be
_blueArray.push(0);
and only alphaArray should be set to 255?
That may be why your getting a blue background.
First up, I fixed the flame coming back. As I supposed, that was
easy. The problem remains with making the background disappear.
I've reworked the code some:
gp = _fireColor.getPixel(i, 0);
if (_bitmapFlag == true gp 1050112)
{
_redArray.push(255);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(255);
_blueArray.push(255);
} else if (_bitmapFlag == false gp 1050112) {
_redArray.push(gp);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(255);
_blueArray.push(255);
} else {
_redArray.push(gp);
_alphaArray.push(0);
_greenArray.push(0);
_blueArray.push(0);
}
I've changed the if statement. Values of gp less than 1050112 are
that which are not the flame, therefore are the background which
should be set to alpha=0. When _bitmapFlag == true, then it's the
mask that's being painted; otherwise, the sprite being masked (the
else if statement). The final else statement is for the flame
itself. Interestingly, changing the value of either the blue, green
or alpha of that final else statement to 255 gives a blue flame
with white border and very attractive, though not what I want. I
wonder why changing the alpha especially would have that effect.
I guess what I'm not clear about is the values I'm pushing. If I
push
255 for the red, green and blue arrays, does that result in white?
If I
push 0 for alpha, is that the same as alpha=0 or alpha=1?
Here again is the code for building the sprites:
private function _onLoadedAll(e:Event):void
{
_onLoadedContent(e, _bitmapFlag = false);
_onLoadedContent(e, _bitmapFlag = true);
}
private function _onLoadedContent(e:Event,
_bitmapFlag:Boolean):void {
_fireColor = Bitmap(LoaderInfo
(e.target).loader.content).bitmapData;
...
if (_bitmapFlag == false)
{
_fire = new BitmapData(865, 92, _bitmapFlag,
0xff);
addChild(new Bitmap(_fire));
_fireSprite.addChild(new Bitmap(_fireMask));
addChild(_fireSprite);
_fireSprite.mask = _fireMaskSprite;
_fireSprite.cacheAsBitmap = true;
} else {
_fireMask = new BitmapData(865, 92, _bitmapFlag,
0xff);
_fireMaskSprite.addChild(new Bitmap(_fireMask));
addChild(_fireMaskSprite);
_fireMaskSprite.cacheAsBitmap = true;
}
I'm wondering now if this is possible, to mask the flame only and
let the background show.
The following combinations give me a blue background and flame:
if (gp 1050112)
{
_redArray.push(255);
RE: [Flashcoders] access a mc in stage from a class
Forget the timeline. Associate each of your movieclips in your library with a
corresponding class that extends Sprite or MovieClip. Then instantiate and add
each as children to your document class. I won't go into design patterns like
MVC and how you would do that, but this would be a basic setup and allow you
total control over all instances.

If you need to control the entire sequence as a whole (pause(), resume(),
reverse(), restart(), gotoAndPlay(), etc.), definitely insert() them into a
TimelineLite or TimelineMax. If you aren't familiar with TimelineLite/Max,
check out the brief video at http://www.greensock.com/timeline-basics/. But
again, a simple loop along with the delay special property should be all you
need for most situations.

Subject: [Flashcoders] TweenMax.allTo()
So in Greensock's TweenMax, you can tween and stagger (delay) the tweens
of multiple sprites at once, via giving a method like, allTo an array
of objects (in this example, _blockViews):
TweenMax.allTo(_blockViews, 1, { alpha:1, y:150 }, .2);
However, this assumes you want all the tweens to tween to the same
property value. What if I wanted all the objects to end up at various Y
locations instead of 150? As it is in the code above, they all tween to
y=150. Is there a way to provide an array of y locations that each
object moves to and have then staggered (as you can with the allTo()
method)?
I can of course accomplish this by writing some Timer event code to
tween each object individually and accomplish what I want - ending up at
varying Y locations, but I'd rather not have to write all that code -
shouldn't there be a way to do this with TweenMax's sequencing
capabilities? Would this be a case where you would use TimelineMax and
append several tweens? If so, how would you also stagger them?

[Flashcoders] Licence servers
Hi Nigel: We have a license server that can be used with or without hardware dongles, that might be of interest. http://www.fo.com/getpage.asp?strfile=pda/folicense.htm Email me if interested. Thanks ~Bill Message: 20 Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 22:29:04 +0100 From: Nigel Williams nigelwilli...@orlogikstudio.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Licence servers To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: f06240803c8af00f05...@[192.168.1.253] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii ; format=flowed I would like my Flash program (most likely implemented as a desktop application) to have commercial license (unique serial numbers?) protection. It seems that the most effective modern method is to use a commercial service providing online license validation. Does anybody have any experience with implementing such a system with a Flash program, and can they recommend any particular methods? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

RE: [Flashcoders] TweenMax.allTo()
Ah, thanks Jack. I didn't realize there was a delay property... I could
have found that with code hinting if I had dug a little deeper.

Re: [Flashcoders] Apple changes their guidelines
adobe's current official response: http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2010/09/great-news-for-developers.html Apple’s announcement today that it has lifted restrictions on its third-party developer guidelines has direct implications for Adobe’s Packager for iPhone, a feature in the Flash Professional CS5 authoring tool. This feature was created to enable Flash developers to quickly and easily deliver applications for iOS devices. The feature is available for developers to use today in Flash Professional CS5, and we will now resume development work on this feature for future releases. This is great news for developers and we’re hearing from our developer community that Packager apps are already being approved for the App Store. We do want to point out that Apple’s restriction on Flash content running in the browser on iOS devices remains in place. Adobe will continue to work to bring full web browsing with Flash Player 10.1 as well as standalone applications on AIR to a broad range of devices, working with key industry partners including Google, HTC, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, Palm/HP, RIM, Samsung and others. colin On 09/09/10 09:46, Henrik Andersson wrote: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/09/09statement.html ___ 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
