[Flashcoders] Path/Point interpolator
hello, I have an array of points that define a path. I would like to interpolate the complete path, so that I can move an object along that path based on a position. So for instance when I tell the interpolator to move to postion .5 it would be in the middle of the path, based offcourse of the interpolator step/interval size. for instance: interpolator.interval = 3 pixels; interpolator.getPositionAt(.5) // would be the middle position. The solution I am after is that I dont want to precalculate all the positions up front, I would like to calulcate the position 'on the fly' so to say. Could someone give me a hint on how to tackle this. Much appreciated. Jiri ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Embedding Fonts, it should be easy...., right!
He Keith,
thanks for pointing that out to me. I tried and it still wont show any text.
When I enumerate the fonts, and using the code provided by Keith I get
this output
embeddedFonts Array (@367abf39)
[0] flash.text.Font (@369a56c1)
fontName"MyriadProFont"
fontStyle "regular"
fontType"embedded"
[1] flash.text.Font (@369a5701)
fontName"MyriadProBoldFont"
fontStyle "bold"
fontType"embedded"
[2] flash.text.Font (@369a5761)
fontName"MyriadProFont"
fontStyle "bold"
fontType"embedded"
[3] flash.text.Font (@369a57a1)
fontName"MyriadProRegularFont"
fontStyle "regular"
fontType"embedded"
length 4
So although regsitering two fonts to the Font class, it shows 4 Font
instances in the embeddedFonts??
Anybody has another take?

[Flashcoders] Embedding Fonts, it should be easy...., right!
Hello,
i am really getting headache from Embedded font stuff in as3 and would
like some help.
I embedded the fonts by using the Embed tag:
[Embed( source='../../../../../fonts/myriad
pro/MyriadPro-Bold.otf',
fontName='MyriadProFont', unicodeRange='U+0010-U+00FC', fontWeight =
'bold',
fontFamily="Myriad Pro",
mimeType='application/x-font-truetype',
embedAsCFF="false"
)]
public static var MyriadProBoldFont:Class;
[Embed( source='../../../../../fonts/myriad
pro/MyriadPro-Regular.otf',
fontName='MyriadProFont', unicodeRange='U+0010-U+00FC', fontWeight
= 'normal',
fontFamily="Myriad Pro",
mimeType='application/x-font-truetype',
embedAsCFF="false"
)]
public static var MyriadProRegularFont:Class;
When I created a new TextField and setup the textformat to use the
MyriadProFont and add it to the list all works fine.
Using this snippet I checked to see if the font is really registered
and it is.
var embeddedFonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(false);
embeddedFonts.sortOn("fontName", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
Now we also have swf's that gets loaded in. The designer has put
textfields in place. I need add the textformat to it. But the damn
embedding doesn work. It doesnt render any text. I searched but could
not find any solution. I hope someone here has a solution. Below the
code i use.
var tField:TextField = _sprite.getChildByName("field") as TextField;
addFormatting( treatmentTimeInfo , STD_LABEL_FONT_SIZE , WHITE);
function addFormatting(tField:TextField):void{
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat()
format.font = "Myriad Pro";
format.bold = true;
tField.defaultTextFormat = format;
tField.embedFonts = true;
tField.setTextFormat( format );
tField.text = "some_text"

[Flashcoders] Question FP10 inactive event dispatched when not visible.
I was reading some where that FP 10 now drops the framerate and pause any loading activities when it looses browser focus in the case of browser tab changing. I can't seem to find the article anymore, but I am wondering if there is also an event being dispatched when FP goes into 'hybernation'. Does somebody know if that is done, or could point me to an article describing this behaviour Regards, Jiri ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Could this be done more elegant.
No it won't because of this line that calls a toggle function based on
the current fps.

function adjustQuality():void{
fps = (fps == 45) ? 20 : 45
trace("qulaity is now adjusted to : " , fps )

[Flashcoders] Could this be done more elegant.
Hello,
I wrote a routine that checks if the fps is below 45 fps for longer then
20 ticks, I toggle the quality of the SWF. If it then after is greater
then 45 fps for 20 ticks I toggle quality back up.
It works, but out of interested, I was wondering if this could be done
in a other more cleaver way then I did. Looking at the routine it feels
very 'big', because I use 3 external vars and quite some code.
var treshold:Number = 20;
var buffer:Number = treshold;
var addValue:int;
function doProfiling(e:Event):void{
if(fps>=45){
addValue = 1
}else{
addValue = -1
}
buffer+=addValue
if(buffer > treshold) {
buffer = treshold;
}else if(buffer < -treshold) {
buffer = -treshold;
}else if(buffer == 0) adjustQuality()
}

[Flashcoders] Strange RegExp behaviour

i would like some help, because I am confused.
If have a Movieclip that holds several sprites some of them have
instance names like so
frame_ where n is a number.
I then loop through every child of the MovieClip and test the instance
name using regExp.
var childs:int = clip.numChildren-1;
var pat:RegExp = /_[0-9]+$/ig;
while(childs >= 0){
var instance:DisplayObject = clip.getChildAt( childs );
if( pat.test(instance.name) ){
Logger.debug( "info box frame" , instance.name );
}
childs--
}
I have three movieclips called 'frame_0' , 'frame_1' and 'frame_2' for
sure, but it when I run the above code, it only show 1 and 0??
Anybody has an idea?

Re: [Flashcoders] bitwise question
Can't confirm your findings right now, and also wonder which loop you

or the one suggested by John McCormack. I cant remember have faulty
result with my loop because like Glen Pike mentioned the i is used for
the shifting.
Also the 8bit to test will always only have one bit set to 1. Which
could be a potential dangerous assumption i guess.
0001
0010
0100
etc..
Will do testing tomorrow.

The only thing that might be faster is using i-- rather than i++ - for

Jiri,
I haven't done much bit twiddling yet in AS3 but I think you were
fast already, but your i was being incremented and shifted.
Also i<8 would only get you bits 2,1,0

How about:
function getBit(var numb:int):int {
var bit:int=1;
var count:int=0;
if (numb==0 || numb>0x80) return -1; // error
while (bit & numb == 0) {

Yes. Use a lookup table;
var lookup:Array=[];
for (var n:int=0; n<128;n++)
{
lookup.push(0);
}
lookup[2]=1;
lookup[4]=2;
lookup[8]=4;
//etc..
function getBit(n:int):int{
return lookup[n];
}
LOL, better still, just ditch the function altogether and use
lookup[somevariable] directly.
I might as well comment that this is lean and mean without any safety
net to make sure the int is in range and indeed has only one bit set.

I changed the syntax coloring in the eclipse preferences to match my preferences, but the symbols " . , " ect.. are all black and there is not an option provided to changes there color. If you look at the Java syntax coloring options they are much more refined. I am looking into the FlexBuilder app root directory now to see if i can find the xml file that is defining the colors, which i cannot find. Does anyone know how i can find it, what to look for or how to deal with the super annoying thing that should be provided in any decent editorthank you Adobe !!

Re: [Flashcoders] Question on preventing this array[n] = 'whatever' on Array var
Thanx. Well i could extend Array and then override all the methods and
have them dispatch events, like ON_CHANGE.
Overwriting all the public mehtods is a pain, so I suspect i can use the
flash.utils.Proxy for this.
I just need to understand this utils.Proxy and flash_proxy thing.
Could somebody hint me if this would be worth looking into for this
particular case?

Sounds like you want to use a kind of "Observer" pattern:
Can you "wrap" up your array class in something that implements the
methods you want, ignores / passes on the stuff you care about and then
notifiies listeners of any changes that you care about?
Flex makes this quite easy with {watching} objects virtually
automatically - not sure if there is something in PureAS3 that would
help without requiring some huge framework.
The safest way of doing this though might be to prevent any external
class accessing your array. Make your class implement some kind of
"ArrayInterface" and allow the calling classes to use your class rather
than your array to add and remove things?

Hello list,

wondering how to deal with it when I really want to create a read only
array.
I am aware that I can copy it, but then this can be very expensive
when it is requested a lot of times and it is a relative big array.
So i was thinking the following.
class A{
private var pArray:Array = [1,2,3]
public function get list():listArray{
return new listArray(pArray);
}
}
class listArray{
private var pList:Array
public function listArray(tArr:Array):void{
pList = listArray
}
override function push():void{
throw new IllegalOperationError()
}
}
I would have to override all the public methods of Array which can be
a pain.
My question is.
How would I prevent users from doing this:
listArray[n] = 'whatever'

Did u try ROLL_OVER / ROLL_OUT to? Jiri Andrew Sinning wrote: I've read though the documentation regarding event bubbling several times, but the concept remains blurry. Perhaps this example will help me get my head around it. I want to display a custom cursor, a version of the Photoshop "flat hand" cursor, whenever the mouse is over a cropped image to indicate that it can be moved around within the frame. So, I have for the sprite of the image, MOUSE_OVER turns on and MOUSE_OUT turns off the custom cursor. The custom cursor object simply hides or displays the Mouse and has a sprite on the top level of the stage with startDrag() and stopDrag(). The problem is that as soon as the custom cursor's sprite becomes visible, it causes a MOUSE_OUT event to get called on the image (because the image is intercepting the mouse-over?) and then the custom cursor gets turned off again. The result is a flashing cursor. Nice effect, but not what I have in mind.

[Flashcoders] When to use flash.util.proxy
Hello list, i am reading up on the flash.util.Proxy class and I came across this post: http://www.onflex.org/ted/2006/04/magic-with-flashutilproxy.php The author mentions this: "..Using Proxy is best reserved for situations when you want very fine grained control of behavior. The are very useful for dynamic method calls, like WebServices, Remoting, or in general creating a Facade for any type of object..." I dont really understand the remark and was wondering if someone could explain it to me. I am trying to figure out when the usage of this proxy would be handy. What is the difference with using normal getters and setters? Could somebody tell me of a case where he/she used this flash.util.proxy?

[Flashcoders] gzipped xml receiving with flash
Hello list, Would it be possible to have a apache server return a gzipped version of xml (using the mod_deflate) and then uncompress the gzipped file in as3. I guess that the BrowserMatch inside the httpd.conf would need to be set to a HTTP request comming from the flash player. Would it possible for the flash player to mimick a call made directly from a browser? So that the apache returns an actuall gzipped version. If it could be possible, how would this then be handled inside flash. I reckon the loader would need to load the file as a BINARY and then a gzip parser would deal with it? I know AMF would work for what i want, or have the server preprocess the files into a .zip. But i was just wondering and curious. As my questions probably reveal, i am not an expert in this area, so excuse me if my questions are really naive.

Hello list, Is it possible to force the mxmlc compiler to include certain classes so they can be instantiated at runtime. So I dont have to put an explicit reference in the .as files, in order to include it. I thought there was a compiler flag called include-classes, but a google search yields nothing of any use. I tried putting this in my flex-config org.name.class But I get an error. Doing a mxmlc -help advanced in the console also yields no such flag.

Hi Jiri,
Why do you want to do that conditional there? Cant you call a var?
Then in your main entry class you set that var depending on the lang you
get in.
Idea?
Or if you work with some sort of MVC ( Model View Controller )
architecture you could do that conditional in your Model and in your
Emdbed tag just query MainModel.getUnicodeRange() which returns a string
of all appropriate unicode chars.
Let me know if this works,

I would like to achive that the var
unicodeRange="U+0020-U+017E,U+20A0-U+20CF"
is something like
unicodeRange=((lang==id)? "U+0020-U+017E,U+20A0-U+20CF" :
"U+0020-U+017E")
Is this possible, or do I need to write a pre parser, generating the
.as file with the correct unicodeRange for a specific language. Then
compile all the .as files for each individual country?
Many thanks,
Jiri

[Flashcoders] Conditional statement in [Embed(source="... tag
Hello list,
i was wondering if it is possible to set a conditional statement in the
EMBED tag. I would like to set the unicode range based on an id.
Here is the class i have now:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class ArialRoundedBoldFont extends Sprite {
[Embed(source="Arial-Rounded-MT-Bold.ttf",
fontFamily="ArialRoundedBold", fontWeight="bold",
mimeType="application/x-font-truetype",
unicodeRange="U+0020-U+017E,U+20A0-U+20CF")]
public static var font:Class;
}
}
I would like to achive that the var
unicodeRange="U+0020-U+017E,U+20A0-U+20CF"
is something like
unicodeRange=((lang==id)? "U+0020-U+017E,U+20A0-U+20CF" : "U+0020-U+017E")
Is this possible, or do I need to write a pre parser, generating the
.as file with the correct unicodeRange for a specific language. Then
compile all the .as files for each individual country?
Many thanks,
Jiri

Re: [Flashcoders] ColorTransform GTween
He Cor,
the question is. I want to tween a clip its color to a certain hex Value.
So the equivalent of this in TweenLite:
TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {tint:0xff9900});
Cheers,
Jiri

Yes it does flicker, but as I said, I don't think I understand the question
correctly.

Re: [Flashcoders] ColorTransform GTween
Thanks everybody, I am aware of all these other tween packages, but I am
exploring GTween at the moment.
So it is not so much a question of how to tween color with a Tween
Package, but more how to do it with GTween, because Google was not
showing me any results on that.
I geuss not so many people are using GTween, especially not for color
tranformations.

Re: [Flashcoders] Bitwise selection
So each element in a ByteArray can hold 8 bits. What about the readInt() method of the ByteArray, does an integer then span over 4 elements of the bytearray. And if I start at position 0 and then call the readInt(), is the position after that then 4? Jiri Kerry Thompson wrote: Jiri wrote: Nice, that you took the time to write that post. It is much appreciated. Thanks, Jiri. One other thing worth mentioning is that an integer is actually 4 bytes, so you have 32 bits. I kept my example to one byte for simplicity. If you want to do operations on a single byte, you can use ByteArray elements. Other bitwise operators to check out are XOR (exclusive OR, which means one or the other is on, but not both) and shift operators >> and << to check the value of a particular bit.

Re: [Flashcoders] Bitwise selection
Nice, that you took the time to write that post. It is much appreciated. Jiri Kerry Thompson wrote: Jiri has gotten some good answers. I got to work late today after working until 11:30 last night meeting my 5:00 deadline :-P I did occur to me that a fair number of us may not completely grok bitwise stuff. That's computer science stuff, and a lot of us got here by other routes-I see a lot of C programmers doing bitwise stuff, but relatively few AS programmers (at least, we don't talk about it a lot). Still, it can be blazingly fast, so when you have a need for speed, they are great. So I thought I'd talk a little about bit operations. If you already understand them, no need to read further (unless you wish to check my accuracy). First, the basics. We all probably know this, but a byte is no more than a series of on-off switches, or bits--eight of them on most modern computers. On is represented by 1, off by 0. So, a byte with every other bit on would be 10101010. When you do a bitwise operation, you are comparing bits. The bitwise OR operator, | , compares bits. If either of them is on (1), the result is 1. If both are off (0), the result is 0. Consider the following: 120 | 96 Compares 10101010 and 0110, giving the result 11101010 (234 decimal). Visually, this may help: 10101010 0110 11101010 We get that result because the | operator compares each bit. If either of them is on, the result is 1 for that bit. The AND operator & is similar in that it compares bit by bit, but both bits have to be on to get a 1 result. Comparing the same two numbers as before, 120 & 96, gives you the result 0010, or 32 decimal. 10101010 0110 00101010 Sometimes we use these as flags, where every bit can represent a Boolean value.

Jiri,
if() isn't too bad, especially since you will possibly want to permit
multiple restrictions (like numbers /and/ letters, or Latin letters
plus umlauts). If you use if() and combine that with appending to the
restriction instead of setting it (+= instead of =), you gain
flexibility. That way, you could also split lower case and upper case
letter restrictions, and introduce a case insensitive restriction that
is set to (UPPER_CASE | LOWER_CASE) -- it would have both bits set, so
it would "hit" for both tests and append the restrictions to the "a-z
A-Z " you already have now. That's just one example, the idea is not
to have a fixed number of selections, but "groups" that you can switch
on bit by bit, plus some predefined combinations (like the case
insensitive letter example) for convenience.
Also, don't test (restriction & 2), but (restriction & NUM_ONLY). That
way, it's more readable, and you don't have to change all 2s if you
decide to reorder your flags. Even more pedantic :), test
((restriction & NUM_ONLY) == NUM_ONLY) so you don't run into problems
if you want to have flags that have multiple bits set later on.
HTH,

Re: [Flashcoders] Strange behaviour ByteArray to BitmapData object
Thank you. The position=0 seems to do the trick. I actually read over it

I dont actually want to render the bitmap. I make a black and white
images of a hand drawn sprite, that acts as a walkarea. Every room has a
different area and so i cache the ByteArray for every room. This
'bumpmap' is used to check, with getPixel() if a clicked position is on
the walkmap.
If I would render it to a graphics I will loose the getPixel() method
for checking. Also when i use the Loader.loadBytes.
Or am i wrong?

Romuald Quantin wrote:
Did you try

You can try to use a Loader.loadBytes to instantiate a Bitmap (it uses a
loader but it takes no time).
Do you load the picture before storing the bytes?
If it is helping, I built a loader that is storing bytes for a cache
system and use Loader.loadBytes to instantiate the Bitmap:
http://www.soundstep.com/blog/downloads/somaloader/
To be sure your ByteArray is compressed, you can:
bytes.position = 0;
var compressed:uint = bytes.readUnsignedByte();
if (compressed == 0x43) trace("ByteArray is compressed!")
Little tips if you want to test, instead of using setPixels to "fill"
your Bitmap, using graphics.beginBitmapFill seems quicker and less CPU
intensive (test it, I'm not 100% sure).

<|>|<=|>=|== the second part being an int.
so ">100"
would return
result[1] = '>'
result[2] = 100
so "100"
would return
result[1] = 'undefined'
result[2] = 100
Here is what I have so far, but it is killing me.
var pattern:RegExp = /^(\d)?(^\d+)|()/
var result:Object = pattern.exec(tConditionalString);
I tried another approach but i am still figuring out how to do it. It
goes something like this
var pattern:RegExp = /^(>):((?(2)then|else))

This one threw me off a bit :)
You have to move the timeline playhead for traceBitmap to work.
When you enter edit mode, you automatically end up in the first frame,
so that's why traceBitmap works for the first frame, and not the others.
So, loop through the number of frames, set "timeline.currentFrame" and
then you'll be able to select the elements in that frame and work with
them.
This should do the trick:
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var library = doc.library;
var items = library.items.concat();
var i = items.length;
var item;
var timeline;
var len;
var fr;
while (i--) {
item = items[i];
fl.trace("itemType: " + item.itemType);
if (item.itemType == "movie clip") {
library.selectItem(item);
library.editItem();
timeline = item.timeline;

fl.trace("- frameCount: " + timeline.frameCount);

Tell me about it, it did my head in all day..

That explains why, although looping through the frames, it was always
only the first one to be converted before the error was thrown.
I will give your suggestion a try tomorrow and cross my fingers it works.
Thank you again.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help jsfl traceBitmap
Muzak and others,
everything worked fine, but now i am struggling with movieclips and
different frames on their timeline containing 1 png.
I followed your described logic.
1. go trhrough lib items.
2. Check if it is a movieclip.
3. For framecount of the timeline, do a loop.
4. For each frame get the elemtens
5. add this to the selection
6. apply the trace bitmap.
7. ERROR! Selcection not set
Would someone please be so kind to take a look...it is driving me nuts!
Thnx

Hello,
i was wondering if someone can help me out with the following.
I have a the maintimeline with on it a movieclip. Inside this
movieclip is a png, that I would like to trace as a bitmap.
I can't seem to target the png that is nested in the movieclip. If i
understand correctly I will first need to get it the timeline of the
png holder clip from the library and then select the frame. Here is my
code which throws a "selection: Argument number 1 is invalid."
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var library = doc.library;
var items = library.items.concat();

[Flashcoders] E4x replace nodename
Hello list,
i make the following query on an xml file to retrieve a list with
certain node names:
var tXML:XML =
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
var pat:RegExp = new RegExp('findname' , 'i')
var tList:XMLList = tXML.*.(pat['test'](name()))
This works fine, but know i would like to in addition to finding them
also remove the 'findname_'
I could use this:
var tList:XMLList = tXML.*.(pat['test'](name())).(editNodeName(name()))
function editNodeName(tObj:String):void{
trace('-> ',tObj);
}
And then create a new XMLlist with custom nodes. But how do I access the
currentNode in the query instead of the name().
Or is it possible to directly do a regExp replace on the node?
Thnx
Jiri

[Flashcoders] runtime instantiation
I know it is possible to instantiate a class at runtime, but one always needs to put in a concrete piece of code that forces the compiler to actually add the class to the swf. I am currently looking into using this technique to gain flexibility in an application, but the fact that I will always need to add concrete code to force the compiler seems to be counter productive. Here is what I have. interface aInterface class abstractA impl aInterface class injectedB extends abstractA class injectedC extends abstractA then I have a factory method that reads an xml file and instantitated a class based on the @reference node using getDefinitionByName() My idea is that I can in the future write an new class injectedC and just add it to the xml list.

[Flashcoders] Question on architectural problem.
Dear List, I am having a architectural problem and would like to ask people on this list for some input. The project that I am working on uses several models, we call them proxies,i.e RemoteProxy, GameProxy etc... They all extends a base class Proxy and implement an IProxy interface. The chances are in the future more proxies will be added. The person that build the system gave every Proxy an getInfo Method, the method looks like this getInfo(sIdentifier:String) : Object. Where every return object needs to be typecast to the expected return type. The reason of this function is that custom methods can be called from a proxy. This creates flexibility but comes with a price. The compiler can't check it. I can understand the reasons why this method is implementated, not having a zillion extended interfaces, not having to add import etc. But I would like to know if some solution excists that deals with this in an elegant way. I read about the Bridge pattern, but I am not sure if this will help me? Thank you.

Convert the XML to a string.
Do the regExp replace on the string.
Reparse the XML?
e.g.
var str:String=xml.toXMLString();
// do replacement here...
xml=new XML(str);
Might not be the fastest in the world, depending on the amount of XML
you are parsing, but it'll do the job.

function doSomething():void

Where the trace would be :

[Flashcoders] AMF objects storing in database
I came across a post on storing custom classes as an AMF object. It explains how to do the following. "If you ever need to store the state of a custom object in a ByteArray or SharedObject, or send a custom object through a LocalConnection, there are a few simple steps you can take that will allow your object's state to be serialised (converted to AMF) and preserved for future restoration. " src: http://www.si-robertson.com/go/serialise-custom-classes I wanted to know, can I then just send the AMF object to a server and store it as a binary in a mysql database? And also is this adviceable? Thank you, Jiri ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

In this case I'd think that one of the tables already exists (which ends
the transaction) and when the next statement is exectuted it throws the

Here's something I used:
try {
_sqlConnection.begin();
//
// sql statements here
//
_sqlConnection.commit();
}catch(e:SQLError) {
trace("- message; ", e.message);
trace("- details: ", e.details);

When creating a table it is a good idea to check if the table already
exists.
