Re: [Flashcoders] How do I create a CDATA node using AS2?
What I want to do is something like:class one { var x:XML; function
addNode(parent:xmlNode) { var child:XMLNode=new
XMLNode(3,"]]>"); parent.appendChild(child); } function
go():String { return x.toString();}
But what happens is the child node toString() produces "<..."So when go()
runs I get something like "<..."
What I want to do is have an XML object output a string that contains a CDATA
node. The above example is greatly simplified. I actually have a class
hierarchy, where the classes extend what is stored in the XML, and one of the
derived classes needs to store CDATA.
Thanks.

In the xml node itself, the nodes content wrapped CDATA in the XML or the
result of that node wrapped in CDATA in flash?

[Flashcoders] omit trace statements from SWCs
I've been working on a component and while developing have been using trace statements. Now I want to "publish" the component for others to use and want to omit the trace statements. I've changed the setting in the FLA that I've used for the component development, but it doesn't seem to affect what happens when I use "export to SWC". I still see trace statements from the component when testing in my test FLA. I'm using Flash CS4 and AS2 (required for the project I'm working on). Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] What good is a Controller?
Assuming that all the UI events created by one clock face (view) are included in the events on the other clock face (another view) and the events are defined by the business rules to have identical effects on the state of the application, then the same controller could be used for both. If two (or more) views generate identical UI events that have the identical effect upon the state of the application (change to the model), then I would use one controller. If one controller generates extra events, then I would use two controllers, with the more complex controller derived from the other controller. It would be possible to use conditional logic within one controller to handle multiple views, but this typically indicates the need for polymorphism (same message, different results), which is generally best implemented by having different classes. In my implementations, I have an class that represents the application that is the "chicken" or Main. The Main class has class variables for the model and each of the views. The model is created first, then I create a controller and a view, the controller is passed as a parameter to the view's constructor. The view is then registered as a listener with the model. I repeat the controller and view process as many times as needed. In the constructor method of the view class, the view class registers itself with the given model. Moock provides a good example of the MVC pattern in Essential AS 2.0. The example has the view classes create a default controller if one has not been provided, but I felt it easier to just require a controller to be provided in the constructor. As Moock indicates, "there is no single "right" way to implement MVC". I think he provides an excellent discussion of the pattern and choices that a developer can make in implementing the pattern. Jim From: Karina Steffens To: Flash Coders List Sent: Tue, March 30, 2010 9:53:34 AM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] What good is a Controller? In your framework, would the one controller for each view also mean that can be only one view per controller? I tend to use a single model for multiple views (the model could consist of a number of classes, but it's still one "model layer"), it might make sense to do the same with the controller. To clarify, I don't mean only one controller for all the views, more like clusters of views with a single controller in their middle. Or does that break the pattern? Another question about your implementation - who's the chicken and who's the egg? Does the view instantiate its controller, the controller the view, or a Main class that creates all? In my current implementation, I have a Main application class (linked to the stage) that creates the Model, the (limited) Controller, and passes the View (which is a symbol on the stage with Class Linkage) to the controller. The Controller's only function is to link them all together as Broadcaster listeners (all Views listen/broadcast to all Models. The Controller is the third part of the equation, because it can listen/broadcast to both Views and Models, but it sort of stops there. I also have some parts of the View interacting with each other via Broadcaster, but I'm beginning to think that this should really be the Controller's function - to intercept messages from one View to another: for example, from a PageView to the MainView, or from a ComponentView (eg the menu or breadcrumbs) to a PageView if necessity arises. Then on the smaller scale of Page or Component, I suppose each could have their own Controller class that's still linked to the main MVC structure, so that it can talk to the Model, but doesn't handle communications with other Views. Does that make sense to you guys, or am I overcomplicating here? Karina Hi Jim, Thanks for the comprehensive examples, especially the clock face. I guess another advantage then would be the ability to swap the view instead of the controller, and (for example) have text-only console like view for testing & debugging? You might also say that Xray is another View. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] What good is a Controller?
When I've implemented MVC: * I have one controller for each view * Each view knows about it's controller, but only as a generic controller (either as an interface or a base class) * Each View registers it's controller as the event listener for each of it's buttons. * Each controller translates a "generic call" in itself into a specific call to the model that may or may not cause a state change. * In response to state changes, the model notifies all views. * The notification can include the state change information, OR * The view can request the state change information from the model. * The view changes updates what is presented to the user as needed based on the change in state. The reason to implement the listener in the controller is to separate the implementation of the business logic from the display logic. This makes the implementation of the specific function on the model independent of the generic function on the view. Example: an application has several views that each have a "next" and "previous" button. Each view registers the next button with its controllers next function. Each controller provides next and previous functions that invoke one or more methods on the model that may cause a state change. This provides a decoupling of the business logic from the display logic. If I want to change what is displayed, or how it is displayed, I change the view. If I want to change the response to user input, I change the controller. An example of why this is nice: I've got a clock face that I want to use as a stop watch (elapsed time) and as a timer (count-down timer). View could be identical, and just change the controller to change the functionality. Start, Stop and Reset would all have different meanings that are handled by the controller. I know that a bug in the timer code is independent of the stop watch code. In certain situations, it may be beneficial to implement a view as another instance of the MVC pattern. An example of this would be where a user is making choices in a configuration, and those choices don't get saved into the application state until the "OK" or "Apply" button is clicked. While the choices are being made, the views internal state is stored in the views model, and when OK is clicked the choices get stored into the application's model. Whether or not it's worthwhile to implement a view as another internal MVC pattern depends upon the complexity of the view vs. the added complexity of the overall system. IMHO, the choice should be to go with what makes the overall system the easiest to support.

Re: [Flashcoders] bubbling listening
Essential AS 2.0 has a MVC example (in AS 2, of course). In MVC, the model essentially encapsulates the state of the application. The model provides methods that the controller(s) invoke to change the state. The model also handles "system events" that cause a state change (i.e. timer event). Each controller implements the "business logic" of the application. For example, on a calendar application, clicking the "next" button means go to the next day, week, month, year depending upon the screen. A click on the previous button means similar. There could be 4 controllers (day, week, month, year) each having a "next" and a "previous" function. The controller then invokes a method on the model to cause a state change - Day controller next function could invoke updateDay(+1) on model while the Week controller next function could invoke updateDay(+7) on model. The previous method on same controllers could invoke updateDay(-1) or updateDay(-7). After a change in state, the model informs all views of the change in state. The model can include the state change in the notification (model pushes the data out) or the model can require that the view ask for the information (views must pull the data out). The view responds to the notification by updating the presentation to the user (if needed).

If you want to see the hearts to appear one at a time you need to add them at a

I create a multi-line text field on layer 1, then I right click layer 2 and select mask I then unlock layer 2 and draw a filled rectangle that covers the entire text field. If I publish for FP 10, I can see any text I entered into the text field. If I publish for FP 8, I can't see any text - FP 8 is a requirement for work. If I put the text field into a seperate MC and then create an instance of the MC, still doesn't work. If I put graphics on layer 1 (beneath the mask) they appear when test. Is there something I am missing or is this just broken? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] [MEMORY LEAK]
Problem might be with the XML class. I've seen problems in Flash Lite 3 where
the idMap property of the XML class had to be deleted to prevent a memory leak.
Tracing idMap will say undefined, must use ObjectDumper to see what it's
actually pointing at. It appears that it will leak only if the XML file has
nodes with an attribute of id.

Just out of interest - why are you recreating the Loader() and
re-adding the listeners each time? It should work if you just create
the Loader once, add the listeners once - then every time you call
load() with a new URLRequest, you'll get new progress and complete
events.
Might help with your leaks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem understanding Class heirarchy issue
Have you verified that someFunciton is getting called?
Is someFunction getting called in the scope that you expect?
May need to use:
addEventListener(ClassC.moveUP, Delegate.create(this, someFunction);
to get someFunciton to run in the scope that you expect.

You're not calling super() in the ClassA constructor.

[Flashcoders] Memory leaks using XML in Flash Lite 3
I've been fighting memory leaks. I've narrowed it down to use of XML class, but only if I actually parse the data. Using onData doesn't leak, onLoad leaks, parseXML leaks and new XML(str) leaks.

Re: [Flashcoders] removeMovieClip, Flashlite3, AS2
When I list out the properties of "this" I am seeing something along the lines of _level0.movie1.aMovie0 Where movie1 is another movie clip that was also loaded. Shouldn't aMovie0 be "removed" since the movie clip was removed when I did: my_mc.removeMovieClip(); Or is this the mysterious second reference that I need to delete? --- On Wed, 8/5/09, Juan Delgado wrote: From: Juan Delgado Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] removeMovieClip, Flashlite3, AS2 To: "Flash Coders List" Date: Wednesday, August 5, 2009, 7:19 AM Assuming you have no listeners attached to it or other external references to the object, try this: mc.removeMovieClip(); mc = null; delete mc; Yes, it's a pain in the ass, but you need it to keep footprint low on mobile devices.

I've tried doing a removeMovie on aMovieX, but that doesn't work either. The movie clip has an onUnload method and I can see that it gets called.
