Re: [Flashcoders] CVS and Flash best practice advice needed
Use SVN with tortoiseSVN client. We are 8 developers working ina huge project and this mode works very well. Obviously a Version control system is implemented by developers not only by sofware. We use svn in as files normaly and block the fla files. We have 4 folders: bin, source, documentation and samples. We have some rules in server side like : when sombody changes a fla file, a email notify to last person that changed that file. The trunk is sacred nobody can touch it for debug or develop new features, components or versions. If sombody wants develop a new feature made a brach, if sombody wants to debug the core made a tag. When a tag or a branch was been published inmediatly it is merged to the trunk. Etcetera I hope to be helpfully 2007/5/16, Durai Raj [EMAIL PROTECTED]: SourceSafe on Windows is the only supported version control software that integrates with the Project panel.

Re: [Flashcoders] named while loops in AS3
Something like this with ':' to create the label:

if(n == 3){
break LOOP_A;

You can do it with any block of code like this:

trace(Quantium Rules);
break chido;
trace(This couldn't appear)
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld
Hi,
In your fla add:

addChild(hw);
Other way to do it is set as 'Main Class 'of the fla file Helloworld.as, you

Getting my feet wet with AS3, I just bought the AS3 cookbook and have
learned a lot already - great book. I feel like an idiot asking this as
I'm pretty good in AS2, but with AS3, I'm not getting a simple script
working. I have the Flash 9 AS3 preview, trying to write a simple
HelloWorld class (based on an example in the book) to show a TextField:
//MyPackage.as
package MyPackage
{
//do I actually need this one?:
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
public class HelloWorld extends Sprite
{
public function HelloWorld()
{
var message_txt:TextField = new TextField();
message_txt.text = Hello World;
addChild(message_txt); //does not show!
trace(constructor runs)//traces fine
}
}
}
Then in the .fla, I put:
import MyPackage.*
var hw:HelloWorld = new HelloWorld();
The constructor traces fine in the output window, but the TextField does
not show. What have I done wrong? My Export settings in F9 As3 preview
are for AS 3.0 and FP9. In later scripts, I tried moving the textfield,
changing the color, changing the stage color to be sure it wasn't
matching the textfield and this invisible, etc...(but it should show as
black Times New Roman text by default anyway...)
Thanks,
Oh, and as a side note, I use FlashDevelop 2.0.1 and have my syntax set
to AS3, but have notices code hinting doesn't always work or is
sometimes incomplete - has anyone else noticed that? Maybe I just need
to update it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Singleton not always Singleton?
The problem i can see is tha in the singleton pattern constructor must be
private.
May be triin with something like this :
class com.shell.util.IntroAnimProxy
{
private static var _instance:IntroAnimProxy;
public static function get instance():IntroAnimProxy
{
if( _instance == null ) _instance = new IntroAnimProxy();
return _instance;
}
private function IntroAnimProxy()
{
trace(IntroAnimProxy);
}
}
2006/8/25, Adrian Park [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hey all!
I'm using a class (AnimationProxy) based on the Singleton pattern to form
a
bridge between a timeline based intro animation (sigh) and the application
objects (it's not strictly an intro because, when the intro is complete,
the
animation continues in the background whilst the rest of the site is
rendered over the top). The animation is a standalone .swf loaded into the
main .swf at runtime. It (the animation) has the AnimationProxy imported,
registers a reference to itself with AnimationProxy and sends various
events
to AnimationProxy. The main application objects register as event
listeners
of AnimationProxy and respond to the events triggered by the animation.
Well, that's how it's supposed to work!
Thing is (and you may have seen the flaw already), I now discover that a
unique instance of AnimationProxy is created by each of the intro and main
.swfs! I'm fairly confident my implementation of Singleton is fine since
it's the same implementation I've used several times.
Two questions then...
It kind of makes sense to me that each .swf maintains it's own object
space
(for want of a better term) and therefore it is expected that they would
each end up with unique instances of AnimationProxy. Can someone give me a
fuller explanation of why each .swf gets a unique instance?
Can anyone suggest a better solution?
I've included the code that constitutes the Singleton implemention below.
Thanks
Adrian
class com.shell.util.IntroAnimProxy {
// Singleton instance
private static var _instance:IntroAnimProxy;
public function IntroAnimProxy () {}
public static function getInstance():IntroAnimProxy {
if ( IntroAnimProxy._instance == undefined ) {
IntroAnimProxy._instance = new IntroAnimProxy();
}
return IntroAnimProxy._instance;
}
}
