RE: [Flashcoders] E4X, it's just not my day.
Your artistBio closing tag is /artist, making it invalid XML. Hope it helps! Alan OK, why is this happening? var artData:XML = new XML( an artist He sucks She rocks ); var lastName="Agrafiotis"; // undefined var a = artData.bios.artistBio.(@s==lastName); // correctly finds the Peter Agrafiotis node var b = artData.bios.*.(@s==lastName); What am I missing in the difference between the two lines? - Michael M. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Toon Fu!
Hi all, I have been working on an AS3-based animation app and finally have made a version public: http://www.toonfu.com/help/ Anyone interested in some beta-testing? There are still some bugs, but it's stable and usable. I'd love to get feedback from some folks who are animators. Thanks!

[Flashcoders] RE: Input textfield's Event.CHANGE doesn't fire for backspace?
What if you use the KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP event instead? I don't know
what you're trying to accomplish, but I've always used the
KeyboardEvents for textfield interactions.
Alan
Hey List,
Consider something like this:
//inputTextField is multilined and wordWrapped
inputTextField.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
//All this does is trace when fired
function changeHandler(e:Event):void {
trace("fired");
}
I expected this to fire when backspacing over a carriage return (ie,
when
pressing backspace reduces the number of lines in the textfield by
one), but
it doesn't. To try for yourself:
1. Type "Hello", then press enter, then type "world". You should
have 2
lines of text.
2. Press backspace 5 times (so that "world" is gone, but the cursor
is still
on line 2). The changeHandler should fire all 5 times.
3. Press backspace one more time (so that the cursor is at the end
of line
1). ... Am I the only one who isn't getting a changeHandler fired at
me?!
Note: It works fine in the opposite direction - ie, if you're using
the
delete key rather than the backspace. But I really need to be able
to detect
backspace so I can rearrange the y positions of other things on my
stage.
If anyone has any suggestions or comments, it would be most
appreciated!
Thanks!
CB.

[Flashcoders] Security.showSettings() freak-out
Hi all, I'm building an audio recording app and the Security settings window is acting totally bizarre. http://podaroo.org/record/ This swf is a direct build of the SecurityExample from the SecurityPanel class documentation in the AS3/Flex Language Reference. I downloaded the latest flex_sdk to make sure I'm all up to date. Viewing on OSX 10.5.7 + FP 10,0,22,87. Anyone have this issue before?

[Flashcoders] static vs singleton
hi all, I have a model class that contains xml data for a file I am manipulating. What would be the difference between setting it up as a singleton and just accessing it via static vars and methods? myFile.load(This approach works fine, but I haven't used AS3 enough to know if this is an obvious memory problem. But it seems more logical than doing: new myFile(); myFile.getInstance().setFilename()... etc. Thanks!

[Flashcoders] Re: Parse/ Create swf via Actionscript 3.0
I was going to start this a few months ago and then found some perl modules that do it: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=swf&mode=all My project is more suited for server-side swf generation, but these could be ported to as3 fairly easily. hope it helps, Alan Curious if anybody knows of a library or is interested in working on one for swf creation via actionscript? In AS3, via ByteArray manipulations it's possible to read/decompile swf file as a stream of bytes, and also generate create an swf entirely via actionscript! e.g. http://www.bytearray.org/?p=17 this could be used for generator or swfmill like functionality, embedding graphics instead of having to constantly load them, even web based live preview of the file being created. I know the swf specification exists in order to figure out. So I could figure it out, but wanted to see if anybody else had started on this first. https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=file%5Fformat ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
[Flashcoders] Re: Copying an embedded sprite
I've never had any problems using this function to return an embedded
asset as a bitmap which I can then manipulate or attach.
The getQualifiedSuperclassName if-statement is there because I have
some assets with scale-9 enabled and they are returned as sprites, so
I convert them first.
public static function getInterfaceAssetasBitmap
(interfaceAsset:String):Bitmap {
var assetClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(interfaceAsset) as Class;
var returnBitmap:Bitmap;
if ( getQualifiedSuperclassName(assetClass)=="mx.core::SpriteAsset") {
var asset:Sprite = new assetClass();
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(asset.width,
asset.height, true, 0x00FF);
bitmapData.draw(asset);
returnBitmap.bitmapData=bitmapData;
} else if ( getQualifiedSuperclassName(assetClass)
=="mx.core::BitmapAsset") {
returnBitmap = new assetClass();
}
return(returnBitmap);
}
Hope it helps,
Alan

hi all, Mikons.com is looking for a freelance actionscript developer to create a wysiwyg product customizer using the images you create on the site. The app will be heavy on xml exchange and bitmap transformation, so AS3 is welcomed (actually preferred). The functionality and interface are complete, so if you're interested, send me an email with links to your work and what-not and we can discuss the details. thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3, BitmapData and domain security
I don't see the point of restricting access to BitmapData from another server when all you have to do to get at it is use a proxy script on your own server. Here's an example: http://www.neave.com/temp/proxy.php?proxy_url=http://www.google.com/ intl/en/images/logo.gif I was doing something similar in Director a few years ago and ended up having to rename my php script to proxy.jpg and editing my .htaccess file for that directory to execute a .jpg as a php script (using AddHandler, IIRC). Perhaps this is Flash's issue as well...

[Flashcoders] using getPixel on a rotated movieclip
hi all, I have a movieclip with an attachedBitmap. When I rotate the mc, I'd like to then be able to use getPixel to find out what rgb value is clicked on. I tried creating a temporary mc that contains yet another bitmap with mc.draw(rotated_mc) and a rotated matrixtransform, but the resulting bitmap is rendered with a different quality so I can't get the proper rgb value. Is there an easier way to do this? thanks!
