hey daniel

i think that means that you have three arrays of the B1:B7 Math.pow()
series, with each array being a different value in the curly-bracketed list.

That is:

B1:B7^{1,2,3} becomes

var myArray1 = [ Math.pow(B1,1),...,Math.pow(B7,1)];
var myArray2 = [Math.pow(B1,2),...,Math.pow(B7,2)];
var myArray3 = [Math.pow(B1,3),...,Math.pow(B7,3)];

B1:B7^{5,10} becomes

var myArray1 = [Math.pow(B1,5),...,Math.pow (B7,5)];
var myArray2 = [Math.pow(B1,10),...,Math.pow(B7,10)];

and so on

 Hi,

 Hi, I've stumbled upon this function call in Excel:
 =LINEST(A1:A7,B1:B7^{1,2,3})

 And I'm having issues with this last bit:
 B1:B7^{1,2,3}


 Let's say B1:B7 is an array from 1 to 7 considering this Excel notation:
 B1:B7

 It would look like this in ActionScript:

 var n1:Number = 1;
 var n2:Number = 2;
 var n3:Number = 3;
 var n4:Number = 4;
 var n5:Number = 5;
 var n6:Number = 6;
 var n7:Number = 7;

 var myArray:Array = [n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7];


 Now, if I change this, considering the following Excel notation:
 B1:B7^2

 It would look like this ActionScript:

 var n1:Number = Math.pow(1, 2);
 var n2:Number = Math.pow(2, 2);
 var n3:Number = Math.pow(3, 2);
 var n4:Number = Math.pow(4, 2);
 var n5:Number = Math.pow(5, 2);
 var n6:Number = Math.pow(6, 2);
 var n7:Number = Math.pow(7, 2);

 var myArray:Array = [n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7];


 But what on earth happens to the array with this Excel notation???
 B1:B7^{1,2,3}

Re: [Flashcoders] BitmapData manipulation. Mirror effect.

2006-07-10 Thread Daniel Cascais

What I need to do is to make a mirror image of the
BitmapData and leave is as one single BitmabData.


Hi Claudia,

I did something similar in AS3, but I'm quite sure you can use it for
your needs too.

In your case, it would look something like this:

//---
var mirrorMatrix : Matrix = new Matrix( -1, 0, 0, 1, 50, 0 );
var imageMirror : BitmapData = new BitmapData( 50, 100 );
imageMirror.draw( image, mirrorMatrix );
image.copyPixels( imageMirror, new Rectangle( 0, 0, 50, 100 ), new
Point( 50, 0 ) );

owner.addChild( new Bitmap( image ) );
//---

Re: [Flashcoders] Accepting 1 parameter with 2 possible types in a method?

2006-06-15 Thread Daniel Cascais

you could try this:

private function myMethod( i:Object ):Void

On 6/15/06, Adrian Park [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hi List,

What's the neatest way of accepting a single parameter with 2 possible types
into a method and then working out what type of parameter has been passed?

e.g. in pseudo code

private function myMethod( i:Number/String ):Void {

   if ( i is a String ) {
  // do this
   } else if ( i is a Number ) {
  // do this
   }
}

I can think of several alternatives :
- passing a generic object which contains the property and then using typeof
on that property
- calling 2 different methods but, in this case, it just makes sense to be
one since it's doing the same thing with either parameter (retrieving a bit
of data from an Array which may be identified using a numerical id or a
String ID)
- limiting my method to accepting a String only and then defining a second
method that returns the correspoding String identifier given a numerical
identifier

All of the ways I can think of seem dirty. Is there a nice clean way or is
it wrong to expect the method to accept one parameter of different types?

Thanks in advance,
Adrian P.

Try using a MovieClipLoader and then wait for the onLoadInit event,
after that you can set the x and y based on the width and height.

I completely agree with what Ryan says, but if you still want to use
getNextHighestDepth(), as Nathan commented, you could do something
like this and get a similar result:

...getNextHighestDepth() + 10;

Daniel

On 2/3/06, ryanm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
  No, but what Ryan describes is exactly what getNextHighestDepth() is  for.
 
 Not at all. If you have a content container at 1, a navigation container
 at 2 (so that drop downs lay on top of the content), and a footer container
 at 3, and you need to add another content container (for rotating ads or
 something), you want it to be next to the other content in depth so that
 it's under the navigation. I avoid getNextHighestDepth like the plague, it
 is an evil monkey living in your closet that wants to kill you. Or at least
 be a major pain in the ass while you try to figure out why you can't control
 the z-position of your elements. I don't even use it in loops when I'm
 generating a bunch of movie clips, like rows in a select box or something, I
 use the iterator for the loop, that way their depth and their index in the
 array is always the same. The only time I've ever used getNextHighestDepth
 was in one-off projects where I didn't know or care where the elements ended
 up because they were created and forgotten. Anything that might have to be
 referenced or moved later should probably have its depth set explicitly.

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV not showing, please help

2006-01-26 Thread Daniel Cascais
It might be that you are using the ON2 codec to create the FLVs.

In F8 (pro?) you can use both Sorenson and ON2 to make FLVs. If you
use Sorenson you'll be able to view the FLV in both FP7 and FP8 but if
you use ON2 you'll only see the video in FP8.

The audio will be heard on both players, as it is MP3 and both players
support it.

 Can somebody please take a look at my code. The flv doesnt show, but the
  audio I do hear.
