[Flashcoders] Comparing HEX

2006-10-30 Thread Aaron Buchanan
Hello all!

I am looking for a reference to read up on comparing two or more color
values. I have not done a whole lot of work with color math so any
foundation articles would be great.

What I am trying to accomplish, say I have a var myColor which represents
the color I would like to find the closest match for, I also have an array
of other colors that are all shades of yellow:

--

var myColor:Number = 0xffcc00
var similarColors:Array = [ 0xfce427, 0xdcb30a, 0xa48611];

--

What would be the best way to loop the array and find the best match to
myColor?

Thanks in Advance!

Hey all,

I found a good article on the devnet that fried my brain, and will need a
couple more times over before I get my head around it. In the meantime if
anyone has other links that can get me the results I meantioned below,
please share.

This is the article I found, by grant:

RE: [Flashcoders] (Taboo) What to charge

Hi kev,

I always break down the hours. For me it is time consuming until you are
able to liscence your codebase for projects. Then the process of bidding can
go much faster. I don't have the time to look at your links atm, but I can
give you a couple tip to help. First take a look at what's already been said
on the topic.There was a big thread a while back titled where to poliely
and appropriately discuss pricing issues. You should be able to find it in
the archives.

One bookmark of mine that came from this discussion was this:

Hey guys,

I know this is a somewhat taboo topic, but I thought I'd ask anyway. :-D

What would you charge to either design these apps or to do the
production/programming or both? Also, what pricing strategy would you use
(hourly rate, itemized deliverables, etc.)?

I'd gladly take off list responses if necessary. :-)

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Change publish path dynamically

You could write a jsfl to loop all open FLAs, or perhaps all FLAs in a
project if you're using the project panel. The latter I haven't done yet,
but should be possible.

 This would be really useful if working with the same FLA in different test
 environments instead of manually having to change the publish settings...time
 consuming with projects involving lots of fla's.

Re: [Flashcoders] New Flash based website

2006-08-10 Thread Aaron Buchanan
Hi Bjorn,

There is an issue that occurs when users with smaller monitors (13
macbooks) accessing 100% flash content. Say you do not want to scale the
content down to 13. You also do not want to write a flash scroller, because
the browser has excellent support and performance for this, and Flash might
have a harder time.

So my solution is that I detect the window height/width, and if they are
less than my minimum, I set the swf object to my minimum height, otherwise I
allow it to be 100% with noScale.

You can see an example of this at a site I am working on (still in dev):

 Here's the cool part,
 Say you want to display a video fullscreen.. The stage could be 1px x 1px,
 it doesn't matter.
 Let js pass in the window values and have an flash method equate the corrent
 xywh coords.
 
 What I'm basically saying is you can drop your reliance on the stage
 completely rather than having to worry about resizing that bitch ;[

 Insert the swf into the html with noscale and showall, then you are
 not limited to a stage size.

 Have a listener set up in js for onResize and pass it into flash via

I'm not sure, I actually just found this solution through playing around
with some ideas. Which is why I haven't been able to get it to work for
safari yet. But have tested modern IE, FF, on osx and xp to work ok.

Luckily the adverse of this not working will still allow users to interact
with the site, the only limitation being that the site will assume a
absolute height.

But the concept is fairly simple and I will look around to see if there is.
If I cant find anything I can post a little write up. But there has to be
something out there from someone smarter than I, hehe :)

Re: [Flashcoders] New Flash based website

Hi Tom,

I like the site, environmental are clean and the site responds quickly.

A couple suggestions I have are: use javascript to resize the swf's object
height attribute, so that when your user opens a section that will increase
your stage height beyond the window height, your user will be able to scroll
to see all of the content. Another idea would be to have the content shuffle
to the top, so that I don't have to close something to close something to
close something so see a page. Instead, I would click the main nav button
for it and the current top item would slide down and the item I want to see
will slide up.

All in all, good work. Just tighten down those screws and enjoy not having
to do it again for a while. (im still milking my 04 site, lol.

Re: [Flashcoders] Techniques to disable/enable debug mode

A while back I released my console as well. It's nothing fancy, but did have
a feature that allows you to individually toggle whether a certain
broadcaster's output would be traced in flash. Additionally, in the live
console, you can filter across specific broadcasters, so that you can look
at output on a per object basis, as well as look at the chronological,
albeit laggy, mess of output from your application.

I guess some doc's would be helpful. If anyone would like, lemme know and
ill take a lil time to run em through asdoc or somethin.

Re: [Flashcoders] I want new Flash 8!

I have noticed quite a few issues with focus. When I jump to another
program, I can click something on the stage of my project and it will update
the props panel and actions, and bring flash up, but the focus stays on the
other app, so I cannot modify anything until I click the flash logo.

Would also, really like to stop restarting flash after activating fonts :)

I'm on a quad g4, and a dual g4 runnin' 10.4.6

If you set your code-font aliasing to somewhere around 8, you will get
interesting marquee readings. It will appear your marquee is 5 - 10 chars

**Error** Symbol=yahoomap, layer=//as, frame=1:Line 7: The class or

 Hey guys,
 
 does anyone have a proper solution for simulating markers in (mp3) sound

 As far as I understood, these cannot be read by the Flash Player.
 
 We are looking for a workaround and the first thing we would try is to
 insert the times into the comment field of the mp3 file. Reading this
 value shouldn't be a problem.
 
 Does this seem like a thing that would work (I guess so) ?
 Has anyone tried this, or does anyone have a better solution ?

 That's how the for-in loop works, no idea why.
 
 for in loops go backwards because they compile to reverse loops which
 are MUCH faster than forward loops.  For more detailed information on
 this subject, check out the Flasm page.
 
 http://flasm.sourceforge.net/#optas
 
 
 Here are the fastest loops:
 
 // Pre-decrement (--a) is faster than post-decrement (a--)
 // and subtraction (- (-1)) is faster than addition (+1)
 // This can be SECONDS faster than any for loop
 
 var a = 100;
 while (--a -(-1)) {}
 
 
 // Second fastest
 
 var a = 100;
 while (a--) {}
 
 
 // Here's the fastest for loop.  Note the crazy syntax:

 You can add your search as a querystring, for example:

 If you want to avoid really old entries, you can include the year in your

 hope this will encourage people to use the archives more often ;-)
 
 For those interested:
 Uses Flash Remoting (ColdFusion) to act as a proxy, as google doesn't have a

 directly from Flash doesn't work.

Re: [Flashcoders] .swf's containing html's location

That's a cool way to do that. Unfortunately, I am unable to modify the
embed, as it's automated by the ad serving application.

Thanks though!
Aaron


On 6/14/06 10:46 PM, Rajat Paharia [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Here's something I tried that might work if you have control over the code
 used to do the embed. You'll need to set allowScriptAccess to always and
 set the name/id in the OBJECT/EMBED tags to the same as the variable
 embedName. This doesn't require any javascript to be embedded in the page.
 This sets a variable named location to the location of the HTML page. You
 should wait a frame or two before trying to read it.
 
 getURL ('javascript:document.getElementById(' + embedName+
 ').setVariable(location, window.location.href); void (0);');
 
 I have in my notes that this only worked in IE, but can't remember the
 specifics. Also won't work on MySpace where they overwrite allowScriptAccess
 to never.
 
 Crazy the hoops you need to jump through to even attempt to get this
 information.

[Flashcoders] .swf's containing html's location

2006-06-14 Thread Aaron Buchanan
I am doing some flash ads and was trying to find out if there is a property
that I can read the url of the html page that called my current .swf file.

I know that MovieClip._url will tell me where the .swf file's sitting, but
what do I read for the serving page's location?

Re: [Flashcoders] .swf's containing html's location

2006-06-14 Thread Aaron Buchanan
Alright,

I had a theory that if you were to try and load a relative file that didn't
exist, you might be able to catch the path within the
MovieClipLoader.onLoadError() event, by reading the ._url property of the
movieclip that you were trying to load into. This seems to be working fine,
if there is no documented way to read the property, then I will continue
this way.

Here is a preview, notice the swf is being called remotely:
http://lab-media.com/test

This is the code:

var myListener:Object = new Object ();
var servedToUrl:String = ;
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
var myListener:Object = new Object ();
myListener.onLoadError = function (target_mc:MovieClip, errorCode:String)
{
servingUrl = target_mc._url.substr (0, target_mc._url.indexOf
(SomeFileThatDoesntExist));
};
my_mcl.addListener (myListener);
this.createEmptyMovieClip (clip1_mc, this.getNextHighestDepth ());
my_mcl.loadClip (SomeFileThatDoesntExist, clip1_mc);


Thx!

Without being able to execute any js, I'm not sure I could get that to work?
Unless I tried via raw js calls via ExternalInterface(). But that would only

Thanks though!

Forgot to embed fonts.

The variable servedToUrl, defined on line 2, was a typo, should have been
servingUrl, which is what was embedded into the textfield and being set from
the onLoadError event.

I moved the test into a more permanent place and uploaded the flas, incase
anyone wanted to take a look.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Debugging Tool

2006-06-11 Thread Aaron Buchanan
One feature of the tool is that while you are developing in flash, you can
toggle each broadcaster's trace output and an optional parameter to the
constructor. If you set it to true, your broadcast messages will appear in
the output panel, prefixed by the channelName: Message..., if you set it
to false, it will not trace anything in flash, but you can still catch those
messages in the console.

Thanks for your positive feedback guys! Being a lone gun, it's nice to get
input from others!

 Yes, his debugging tool is really nice. It's similar to the tool I

 is really sweet. Check it out at:

 Of course, with the upcoming AS3 and his binary sockets I would be able
 to use that application too from inside Flash. Because CodeSite or
 DebugServer can receive messages through TelNet for example.
 
 The indented messages tree like seen in the screenshot of CodeSite might
 be of use for Aaron tool too, this way you can indent message which
 belogn to a specific method. CodeSite have special methods for it
 beginMethod() and endMethod().
 PS again, I dig how lightweight this seems - a simplified UI can
 never be
 under estimated in it's affect on how the user feels about using it.  I
 could easily see people opting for something like this, where as Xray
 seems
 a bit overwhelming, know what I mean?
 Yes, it looks difficuilt that's why I am gonna look at it later today,
 to really dig it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Stretching Designs - Coded?

Hey Kev - 

This is achieved to listening to the Stage object. It's super simple. I
actually have a little snippet that I use over and over when I am gonna do
stage stuff. It's below, the formatting get's messed up here, so I'll post a
lil FLA example, if you like. Basically, I create 9 arrays of the basic
alignments that I generally use (ie top-left, top-right, bottom right,
etc..) And simply add an object to the respective array I want to target.
This object will have 3 parameters, the MovieClip that is the target, and a
var for xpaddign and ypadding that act as offsets to the given position.

Take A Look. Here is the basic code, with no clips:

/*Stage.onResize() listings
 *

 *
 *NOTE: Any clips that are moved due to an onResize event, are filed
into their respective arrays below
 *as objects with three properties, _mc (the clip being
referenced), x and y padding.
 *NOTE: To have a clip move with the stage, use this format:
{_mc:upperLeft_mc, xpadding:0, ypadding:0}
 *

 */
var TopLeft:Array= [];
var TopCenter:Array= [];
var TopRight:Array= [];

var MiddleLeft:Array= [];
var MiddleCenter:Array= [];
var MiddleRight:Array= [];

var BottomLeft:Array= [];
var BottomCenter:Array= [];

/*Stage.onResize() engine

var stageObj:Object = new Object();
stageObj.onResize = function()
{
for(var i in TopLeft)   {TopLeft[i]._mc._x =

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Debugging Tool

2006-06-11 Thread Aaron Buchanan
On the console side, it would be easy to implement a filtering mechanism
that would let you sort by keywords, or even search for your own. But as it
stands, there is no support for additional flags. There is an extra object
that I set up as a parameter to the broadcaster, metaData, but was never
implemented. I knew I would want to expand it, but didn't actuallly know
what for at the time.

I figured I would eventually pass in additional flags, possibly for
filtering messages on their importance, or revelance to a specific bug. One
idea I had, was that if I knew a bug was contained to a certain set of
classes (external I/O classes for instance) then I might be able to type in
keywords to that broadcasters' constructor's metadata object, that I could
sort by on the console side. So, if I started seeing an issue with the I/O
in my app, I could open the console, type I/O in my custom filters and then
pull up any related error messages being generated.

I suppose we could register methods in some way through the metadata, then
on the console side, allow the user to sort by any of the active registered
sub-broadcasters.

I'm going to look at those other apps you posted. With as3 around the
corner, I may not want to spend time on it. Just need a mac beta of flex 2
:(

[Flashcoders] Flash Debugging Tool

2006-06-10 Thread Aaron Buchanan
Hey guys,

I made this little tool about 3-4 months ago to let debug live rich ads with
synced animations. The tool itself is simple and lightweight, but has
managed to be an important part of my work. A few people have referred me to
john's tool,  I will definitely play with it when I get a chance, but I
wanted to offer this up too.

Basically the idea underlying the tool is that you are able to set up
broadcasters in your code with channel names. Then anytime your broadcaster
sends a message to the console, you can filter them by their channel name.
It has some issues, including performance hits if you use rapid iterative
functions, or if you set up more buttons than there is room to tile the
buttons for the channel names.

I may end up building more functionality into this tool at some point. But
it has fit my needs quite well and figured if anyone cant use john's tool,
of if it doesn't quite do the same thing, then I offer this one for
perusing.

There is some docs in the code, but nothing formal yet. If you have any
questions, feel free to hit me up offlist if you like on aim (tribalab) or
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thx  enjoy :)

the form will attempt to upload all 10 images, after which it will begin
converting each image into the 5 different sizes used on the site. This
batch upload is resulting in frequent timeouts and instabilities.

What I would like to do is upload only 1 at a time, but I would like to
preserve the one-step for the user and manage the one at a time by managing
the events. Would also like to send messages back to the client to let the
user know what is happinging, ie: creating thumnail 1 of 5.

Question is, is there a way to que the uploading of these files in this
fashion. If there were 10 images, I guess I might need 10 filereference
instances, each with one image, sitting an a que array. Not sure about any
security issues that may be involved, however. It is possible to wrap in
zinc or another similar app (haven't done so personally), and run locally.

Thx!
Aaron

Re: [Flashcoders] Wrapping a loaded image onto a cylinder?

2006-06-01 Thread Aaron Buchanan
Underwater could be done with displacement masks / perlin noise. Haven't
done personally, but grant skinner had an amazing example at fitc so try
googling for that. Also, check his experiments site and maybe hit his blog
for some source.

As for mapping to cylinder, I have been trying to get a similarly difficult
skew to work. The perspective skew. Where the front of the image is taller
than the rear. If I get some time I will try to write something up, but I
suspect someone has already done it. The trouble is trying to alias
neighboring pixels without killing the quality of the image..

A simple cylinder may be easy, with the bitmap data class. You would
basically want to loop through the rows (horizontal cylinder) or columns
(vertical cylinder) of pixels and dup that to a 1xrowcount  bitmap data
object and add it an onstage one, perhaps with varying alpha to depth.

 How would I  wrap an image or movieclip around a cylinder using
 actionscript? I thought of doing it by making multiple copies of an
 image and using a lot of masks, but perhaps there is an easier way to
 do this. I would also be interested in doing a kind of underwater
 distortion effect on an image, dynamically.
 Thanks,
