[Flashcoders] Inserting FLV Message events
Is it possible? I've seen programs that can manipulate cue points, but I don't know the least bit about message events in an flv. Specifically what I'm looking for is the ability to copy them out of one flv and insert into another. ___ 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] AS3: Stage.scaleMode, Stage.stageWidth and Stage.stageHeight
First question: Can Stage.stageWidth and Stage.stageHeight not be modified by AS? Documentation would suggest otherwise, but setting them has no effect. Second question: Does Stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE work as intended? Documentation states "Specifies that the size of the Flash application be fixed, so that it remains unchanged even as the size of the player window changes." However, I find the application to resize itself with the player window; IDE and browser, and changes the value of stageHeight and stageWidth. My intent is to be able to resize an application in code without the browser window having an affect on size or scale, but the above properties can't seem to be configured to do that. Is there another way? ___ 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] Persisting Arrays of Objects with Local Shared Objects
The first thing to be aware of is circular object references, i.e. can you
recursively trace the array without crashing Flash. So, linked lists are
out of the question.
The second is not to pass any object references (including methods) where
the referred object might change before it is written. This can do that
trick:
function removeByRef(object:Object) {
if(typeof(object) == "object") {
var tmpObject = new Object();
for(var i in object) {
switch(typeof(object[i])) {
case "object":
tmpObject[i] = removeByRef(object[i]);
break;
case "function":
break;
default:
tmpObject[i] = object[i];
break;
}
}
return tmpObject;
} else {
return object;
}
}
<<<
Basically the same rules as trying to serialize a Flash object into a SOAP
object during remoting.
Hello.
Are there any caveats to persisiting an array of shared objects?
My first attempt, which attempted to stick in one of those into a
FlashCookie failed, and Solve couldnt open the .sol file either.
I'm going to try this again, with just simple objects that have only the
fields, and no methods, but in the meantime, is there something else
that I should watch out for?
Thanks.

[Flashcoders] My Flash Editor UI is invisible/disapeared?
As of yesterday, I can only see Flash Editor in maximized mode. Trying to restore the window to it's normal size results in blank desktop, however, I can still access the menus using alt, as seen in this image: http://home.cogeco.ca/~gcarlyle24/flashgone.gif Only affects Flash Editor, though, quite possibly has nothing to do with Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic access of top-level variables in AS3
Except for course that any variables you write on the stage aren't available
inside classes...
I guess the solution would be to figure out what 'this' is on the stage.
Doing trace(this); gives [object Timeline0_f07ac19cdfe1944b8711232f8d557a]
(with a different hash every time).
This isn't the flash.display.Stage object... anyone know what it is?
On 7/11/06, Chris McFadyen aka Grayson Carlyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Aha! The solution is to have the global object on the stage AS code:
var global = this;
Simple enough, but I was always trying to do it within an as file:
package {
var global = this;
class MyClass() { }
}
Which will cause a compile error for referencing "this" outside of a
class.
Thanks guys.

You need to know the variable name at some point to create it and to
address it. That is, your class doesn't need to know, but at some point in
code a variable name is known, whether it's generated with a string
concatenation or passed from another SWF/app/browser/etc.
Does that address your situation? If not, maybe you could explain how you
want to use it?

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic access of top-level variables in AS3
Merci, (and I'd continue in French, but I'm far better at understanding it than writing it) However, this doesn't address dynamic variable referencing, only variables for which you know the name of.

[Flashcoders] Dynamic access of top-level variables in AS3
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how I can dynamically reference
variables passed via a GET string into the swf using this.
Hello :)
in AS3 you use directly variables in global when you use a new .as !
package
{
static globalVariable = {} ; // your in topLevel !!!
public class MainClass()
{
// first code in your Application
// load your xml and use your global variable !!!
}
}
EKA+ :)

[Flashcoders] Dynamic access of top-level variables in AS3
In doing web apps, we pass a lot of variables directly to the swf files.
Some of these are dynamically matched using eval() to write variable values
into strings.
Example: Reading settings from an XML file, with %var% in the node values;
we search for for these and match up "%var%" to eval("var").
Without using eval(), _root[var] would've worked, but _root is gone in AS3
as well. Is there some other method I can use in AS3 to access top-level
variables dynamically?
