[Flashcoders] Re: AVM1Movie unload and static variables

[Costello, Rob R]

my impression of this is that if you have static variables or methods of the 
moveclip then you have a class that extends MovieClip?

if so, my suggestion is make sure the references to the class are set to null / 
out of scope - in my experience unloading a class that extends MovieClip does 
not always delete the reference to the associated subclass of MovieClip

hth  - and might be barking up the wrong tree

In fact this problem applies not only for AS2/AS3 interop.
How can I unload MovieClips and thus unload static variables to have a
fresh startover, when loading the same MovieClip later again?

[Flashcoders] projector ports

[Costello, Rob R]

Hey all

Whats the deal with flash projectors and port numbers / firewalls? 

I have a swf with a line like this 

mcLoader.loadClip(image_url, valid_mc) 

Anyway, this works fine from inside the browser 

And, from home, it works fine from the flash projector 

but, from work, it only loads if I have previously been to the image_url
in the browser - ie doesn't work if image_url is a valid but new file 

is this a port thing? 

Cheers and thanks and merry merriment 

Rob

My understanding is that encryption is unreliable - since the player has to be 
able to decrypt it anyway, and the swf format is known - so any trick that 
fools the decompiler is vulnerable to being corrected in the next release of 
the decompiler

I've written a home grown obfuscator of sorts (for AS2). It's a bit slow and 
clunky - and not AS3 compatible - but does what I need. (It can parse AS2 
source code for variable and functions names using VB, and then obfuscate the 
byte code using FLASM.)

> Few common softwares for obfuscation are  just not that good as swf stops 
> working after using them .

depending on coding style, you need to avoid changing names of variables that 
correspond to other constants (eg names of nodes in an XML file that are 
matched in your code - won't match if you rename the coded version)

Also array syntax (AS2) that does things like ["prop" + x]  - don't want to 
rename prop0, prop1 etc elsewhere

So you typically need some sort of exclusion list. I don't know that you can 
ask the software to reliably work out which variables must be excluded in some 
of these contexts.

(In some cases I could observe if functionality was impaired and look in that 
region of code for array syntax etc.)

I had a look at ASO lite a while ago and at the time it took the approach of 
not renaming any functions or classes - just simple variables, and it also 
allows a custom exclusion list.

I was naïve enough to try my own (using Flasm and VB) that also did function 
names etc.

The current ASO version now seems to rename functions and class names etc 
(still allowing a custom exclusion list).

Its pretty fast - but I've had your issue - my code stops working and I can't 
work out which additional variables to exclude. For example it seemed to kill 
the V2 mx components - and it was finding thousands of variables from those 
components.

It seemed to me that I only wanted to obfuscate my own code (eg I don't mind if 
people decompile the mx components etc).

So I revisited the one I'd tinkered with. Its slow - uses VBA and Flasm. (I 
tested it as compiled VB6 and almost identical speed. VBA allows me to use 
Excel for data storage.

I now get it to parse my AS2 files first and locate all of the variables and 
functions names I have introduced. (I don't get it to scan the mx source files 
so it will leave them in swf).

I do have a list of excluded native functions - onRollOver etc.

Anyway, then VBA uses FLASM to search for those variables in the byte code (flm 
file). (not all of them make it into the byte code)

Then, when there is a common list (my variables / functions / class names that 
do appear in the swf - it does text a text / replace with an "illegal" name - 
eg an integer  - which works at byte code level, but not if decompiled).

This is all horribly slow (10 minutes - for say 75 classes - 400 k of AS2 files 
- 200 k of swf - 2 MB  flm file - on slowish machine)

Not sure it would qualify as a "good solution" for other contexts

But it does work well for my AS2 based development and I have full control over 
obfuscation and I know it works.

 I don't know what method ASO uses though I saw on the Flasm website that one 
of ASO's people helped them optimise Flasm - so maybe a similar (more 
optimised) approach. Was too aggressive for me though - couldn't get it to work.

Any interest in this?

Cheers

Rob

[Flashcoders] copying formatted text out of flash

[Costello, Rob R]

Hello

Is there any way to copy formatted text to the system clipboard

ie I don't really want all the html / textformat tags

But I'd like to be able to copy formatted text out of textbox / textarea


I'm thinking that's not too easy - its either plain text, or textformat
tags?

Hoping I'm wrong

Cheers

[Flashcoders] flash database - very conservative connections

[Costello, Rob R]

Dear all

I am using sendAndLoad to extract data from an MS Access db, via an ASP
page.

When running on my localhost, this only works if I restrict calls to the
asp/db to about one per 30s.

Any more, and the XML.onLoad callback returns a "success" value of false
- (ie fails!)

It does work fine if I step through very slowly - 1 page access per 30s.


Its like the database is still tied up after the first access.

I assume that I have some permission or database setting set
incorrectly, but I can't find it.

The ASP pages close the SQL connection when finished
Conn.Close()
Conn=null

(Have also added all the iusr and (helper accounts) permissions I can
think of for the wwwroot folder)

This did run fine on a slower laptop at one stage (it was also XP, but
it was an older version of Flash - mx2004. Now using Flash8)

Any insights or help very greatly appreciated

Thanks

Rob

Do you need to call invalidate on the component?
I've had that when using scrollpanes with dynamic text - they don't take
their needed dimensions till you force a redraw with invalidate

[Flashcoders] trivial or mysterious problem with component?

[Costello, Rob R]

Dear all

 I have a strange problem getting a V2 component to initialize
I can copy code works that fine in one class, compiled into another
class (and another swf), and it no longer works - just fails silently

This is the essence of it :

import mx.controls.Button;

class Mysterious {
function Mysterious () {
doStuff()
}

function doStuff() {
var endNoteButt = _root.createClassObject(Button,
"endNoteButt",1000);
trace(endNoteButt);
;
}
}


In the original class, it traces : _level0.endNoteButt
In the new class it traces : undefined

Very odd ...i might well be missing something trivial / obvious, but I
can't see it...

I know that V2 objects need some time to fully initialize, but they
shouldn't return undefined?

Bit more info that might help someone advise me here
(1) in the first (working) case, Mysterious is instantiated from another
class - in the second from the main timeline
(2) using MX2004 IDE - both swf's compile and run fine - no errors
(3) this is a new PC. fscommand also seems to have stopped working on
this machine - unrelated? Security issue?
(4) both have same directory location, and class paths set for the swf

Help?!

TIA
Rob

[Flashcoders] Re: Programmatically instantiating a class that extends MovieClip

[Costello, Rob R]

As a variant on the __proto__ method (which I gather is what the compiler 
actually uses behind the scenes anyway) I also bundle the code into a static 
method 

 

 

 Class A { 

... 

 

// dynamicMc (no library symbol) will be added and subclassed to mcSubClass

dynamicMc:MovieClip  = McSubClass.addInstance(baseMC);

}  

 

 

class McSubClass extends MovieClip{ 

 

function McSubClass {

  //empty constructor

}

 

function init(){

 

  //initialize mc - add dynamic graphics etc 

 

} 

 

static function addInstance (base_mc) {

 

var newMc;

var nd = base_mc.getNextHighestDepth();

newMc= base_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("mcSubClass"+nd,nd);

newMc.__proto__ = new McSubClass ();

newMc.init();

return newMc;

}

 

 

}

 

maybe mc.__proto__ == MyClass.prototype (below) is better than my  
newMc.__proto__ = new McSubClass ()  

my method (i picked up on this list) does have the side effect that the 
constructor can't initialize the mc, hence the separate init call after the 
__proto__ / constructor; all wrapped in one method so I don't forget

I have a feeling that there is resoure kit with one (DRK?) and i have an old MX

i'm running windows but having some problems with a swf on the Mac player  .. 
which isn't convenient to debug ... macs are few and far between where i work 
and play 

is there anyway to get a mac player to run under windows; or any online service 
that simulates a mac client? 

cheers

Rob

[Flashcoders] re : dynamic accordion header text

[Costello, Rob R]

I also had trouble dynamically setting accordion headers .. ended up changing a 
few lines in the accordion class  to do it... 

I didn't recall even finding the labelPath property .. if that works to change 
the label, but the width is the issue when adding more characters, maybe 
calling an invalidate method on the accordion or its children would force a 
redraw and correct the layout?  worked to solve a similar issue i had with the 
scrollpane needing to be invalidated before it added the scroll bars for 
dynamically added content 

if not, i could dig up the code if changed .. i do have accordions with dynamic 
headers ... had to make a couple of minor changes to return types and scope in 
the accordion class to expose the header mc ... [i remember finding a property 
which would show the current header text, and could be changed, but the 
displayed header wouldn't change (... maybe invalidate would have fixed that 
also? i don't know) 

anyway, i have a hack that does it, if the invalidate method doesn't fix your 
width issue

cheers

Content-Type: text/plain;   charset="us-ascii"

How do I allow a user to dynamically change the label in the header of an
accordion component? I've used the labelPath.text property but this does not
allow me to adjust for text width so the number of characters in the new
label has to be <= to the old label or it will get truncated in the header
display. I cannot set the width with labelPath.width either. Is this the
best way to change a label through user input?



myAccordion.header0.labelPath.text = "myNewLabel";



Thanks for any help.

yes,   this is true in ActionScript 

referencing or instantiating a singleton class via a static getInstance method, 
is a different matter to all methods of a class being static
