RE: [Flashcoders] Free Upgrade CS2 to CS3???
It was what the guy at the Adobe Store (UK) told me - he was trying to pacify me after the whole US/US price thing - I hope it wasn't a lie! I was looking at Design Premium and he offered me an upgrade to CS2 for £492 and told me quote a free upgrade will be available to customers that buy CS2 until CS3 becomes available. Still nearly double the US price for CS3 but I digress... Macromedia did offer a deal exactly like that we I upgraded from Flash 7 to Flash 8. I had 45 days to fax over a proof of purchase. Of course I ended up forgetting and forking out the full price about six months later. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Hoffman Sent: 29 March 2007 18:06 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Free Upgrade CS2 to CS3???

RE: [Flashcoders] actionscript/flash performance
2200 clips is a lot - I'm not surprised you're running into problems. There
is quite a large overhead with each movieclip you instantiate (anyone know
how many kb an individual mc weighs?).
I think your idea of using a single clip is a much better idea. You'd have
to clear() and redraw from scratch each time there's an update but with a
clever bit of animation you could probably make that manageable (if you only
plotted 100 points per frame at 31fps, you should be able to achieve roughly
3100 points/second ). I'd create a flyweight class to abstract the shapes
you have been drawing into the pen movieclips - essentially it would just
hold the point data (call it PenData?). I'd then create and update loop
which runs through the PenData instances and draws them at a rate of 100 per
frame into your single movieclip. Next time there's an update, clear the
movieclip and start again...
You are pushing the limits but I think it's worth trying.

Subject: [Flashcoders] actionscript/flash performance
Hey all,
I finally have a question to ask!
I'm working on a project that, in simplest terms, is an event visualizer.
It takes event data coming in from an XMLSocket (or a standard PHP script
pulling from a database for replays), creates an empty movie clip, stores
it in a simple object/array combination to aide in timestamping, then it
uses removeMovieClip() to discard the clip when it's a minute or so old.
Warning, I'm a complete noob when it comes to ActionScript, I have a little
bit of Javascript experience, and a good amount of PERL and Python, so I can
handle criticisms, and hopefully they can be explained in a language I
understand. :)
I have three keyframes, 1, 2 and 20, with 20 being the loop back to give me
a nearly one second tick mark, when things are not overloaded.
At 1, I instantiate an Array (_root.lines), import WDDX, and create a custom
function on the MovieClip prototype for some initial markers, along with a
few longitude/latitude-to-map-coordinates functions, and a function for
drawing curved vectors. I initialize some starting points for some global
counters on _root here, as well. Lastly, there's a map of the globe for the
scene background, and the custom function marks three locations on the map.
At 2, I populate the initial location marks at level 1, calculate the
current date/time by instantiating Date(), and store the results on _root
for later retrieval (we'll call it _root.ratio_start). I then pull in the
data stream, currently I limit it to 2500 lines (events, really, it can be a
little more than 500 characters in XML per event). I calculate the start
point (one of the three marks) based on the data provided, then use the
latitude and longitude calculate an end point. Here's the part I'm not sure
is the most efficient:
// Increment the counter to give us a pseudo-unique number.
_root.counter++;
// make a timestamp
date_now = new Date();
// make an empty movie clip with a unique, but dynamic, name pen =
createEmptyMovieClip(vector_ + root.counter + _mc, root.counter+2); //
Set the line style pen.lineStyle(2,0x00CC00); // Store it in a simple object
for later retrieval and timestamp comparison container = {pen: pen,
timestamp: date_now); // Pus it into the lines array.
_root.lines.push(container);
// Draw the vector
curvePoint(pen, x, y, x, y);
From there, it just moves along with no more code until I get to frame 20:
// make a timestamp
date_now = new Date();
// Get the benchmark up until this point _root.ratio_end = date_now; //
Calculate the ratio between the time it actually took, and one second, for
throttling purposes _root.ratio = 1000 / (_root.ratio_end.getTime() -
_root.ratio_start.getTime()); // _root.millisecondsToMinute = 1000 * 60, get
the fraction (multiple) of
1 minute.
_root.timeLimit = _root.millisecondsToMinute * _root.ratio; temp_count = 0;
for (i = 0; i _root.lines.length; i++) {
// Calculate the difference between the current time, and the time
this line was turned into a clip.
timeDiff = date_now.getTime() - _root.lines[i].timestamp.getTime();
if (timeDiff _root.timeLimit) {
// Keep track of how many we remove for debugging purposes.
temp_count++;
// Remove the movie clip the only way I know how.
_root.lines[i].pen.removeMovieClip();
// remove this entry from the array.
_root.lines.splice(i,1);
}
}
// Occasionally reset the unique counter
if (_root.counter = 32000) {
_root.counter = 0;
}
// Loop back to frame 2, pull more data, etc.
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
Now, on to my actual question/comment. I've noticed that if the rate of
incoming data goes above about 2200, it fails to keep up with the
throttling, and will start to bog down. It will remove

Freehand was ahead of Illustrator in features and ease of use for quite some time and Freehand forced Illustrator to compete in what was once a monopoly (Corel Draw? Yeah, right!).

RE: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
Don't forget to clear the interval inside the function you call - otherwise
it will repeat on and on. It's also best practice to clear an interval
before you set it (in case it gets set twice).
If you only want the function called once you can also use
_global.setTimeout( func, time ).

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
Hi Gustave,
Here is the answer to your query.
The best way for any timing related task is to use Interval.
Here is the syntax:
var variable name:Number = setInterval(function name to call, time
interval in millisecond);
function function name to call(){
//do your task here..
}
The following is the example for your inderstanding testing.
this.createTextField(date_txt, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100,
22); date_txt.autoSize = true; date_txt.selectable = true;
var date_interval:Number = setInterval(updateTime, 500, date_txt);
function updateTime(my_txt:TextField) {
my_txt.text = new Date().toString(); trace(my_txt.text); }
I hope, this is well enough to solve your problem.
Thanks regards,
Parvaiz Patel.

Also double-check to see if your intervals are actually getting cleared. If you are using intervals to do multiple tweens, make sure that they ALL get cleared.

I have narrowed it down to a text input field. This is where the user enters their name if they get a high score.

Also, how are embedding the movie, I could be wrong but it think the stoopid

embed the movie.
The other thing you could try is writing the JS function from inside flash -

Hm. I haven't used ExternalInterface at al (I'm stuck with Flash 7), so I'm
not really sure what the problem could be. Though you might be able to do
it as a callback (have the javascript function call some function in your
Flash movie to give it the value). The control flow for that would be a bit
odd, but it might work if you can't get it to return correctly.

seems simple enough but I cannot for the life of me find out why
IE sees it as null.
Any ideas, pointers?
Thanks!
Bob

RE: [Flashcoders] Object.registerClass ...
Together with __Packages you can also use Object.registerClass to bind a
class to a dynamically created movieclip. If used in conjunction with a
static create method you can make creating extended movieclip instances real
easy...
// MyClass.as
class com.misuseit.MyClass extends MovieClip
{
public static var LINKAGE_ID:String =
__Packages.com.misuseit.MyClass;
public static var SYMBOL_OWNER:Function = MyClass;
public static var SYMBOL_LINKED:Boolean =
Object.registerClass( LINKAGE_ID, SYMBOL_OWNER );
private static var $nextId:Number = 0;
public static function create( parent:MovieClip, name:String,
depth:Number, init:Object ) :MyClass
{
var mc:MovieClip;
name= name || MyClass + ( $nextId++ );
depth = depth || parent.getNextHighestDepth();
mc = parent.attachMovie( LINKAGE_ID, name, depth, init
);
return MyClass( mc );
}
}
// To instantiate on a timeline
var myClip:MovieClip;
myClip = MyClass.create( this );

Stephen.
Object.registerClass is used all the time in AS2 to connect library
objects to implementing classes - so it's definitely relevant.
Essentially, you use Object.registerClass to tell the system what type of
class should be associated with a clip when it is attached via
attachMovie(). It's the same as specifying the linkage in the linkage
dialog, but is done dynamically in the code (and therefore it's possible to
attach the same symbol as different classes, if you need to - it's also
handy if your library is supplied by a graphic designer who isn't informed
enough to insert the appropriate linkages.)

RE: [Flashcoders] wordpress and flash integration
Hi Kerem, If you don't use the wordpress php files you're not using wordpress - all you'd have left is a complicated data base structure and a bunch of raw data. If you really want to use flash and wordpress you need to look at ways of getting the wordpress php files to talk to flash - you can't use flash instead of the wordpress php files, you'd need both. You might want to have look at writing a plug-in for wordpress (wp plug-ins are also written in php btw). The alternative is to hack wordpress, but you'll never be able upgrade when a new version of wordpress comes out and, again, other plugins will be a problem. If you go the hacky way, the php files in the admin folder or wordpress\wp-includes\wp-db.php are probably as good a place as any to start with. In theory, you could write a plug-in (in php and actionscript) which enables you to create a Flash admin layer over the top of the php application. It would be quite a big job and very hard to make extensible for other plug-ins (most require html forms and JavaScript on the client). You'd probably be better of by just replacing a small bit of the admin interface - pick the bit that annoys you most. Try a Google search for wordpress admin hooks or wordpress plugin api - it's not very well documented but you might find something useful.

It depends what you want to parse. You could use the RSS feed as a way of getting data into Flash as it is XML, which Flash can deal with very easily. If you want to talk to the database more directly, you will have to consider using Flash Remoting - have a look to see if anyone has created an AMFPHP - server side code for Flash Remoting in PHP - plugin for Wordpress. http://amfphp.org/ http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=enq=flash+remotingbtnG=Google+Searchmet a= http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=enq=flash+remotingbtnG=Google+Searchme ta= HTH Glen Kerem İşeri wrote: Hi everyone... I am starting a new project, it will be my first trial on the subject.. I thought that I could use wordpress as a database for contents and pictures for my site. It will be so cool if I can make it, because I will get rid of the coding on php and admin panel of this project, wordpress has a very userfriendly admin interface it self built in. Anyways, Anybody tried this before ? or does anybody know how can I parse wordpress pages for the flash? Thanks a lot.

[Flashcoders] Re: Boolean question
In AS2 using the Boolean constructor will instantiate a Boolean object - an object wrapper for the primitive type. If you want to perform logical operations on the value of a Boolean object you must remember to use the objects valueOf() method. Otherwise it's the object, rather than its value, that gets evaluated - and as Fumio pointed evaluating any object as a Boolean will result in a positive. var primative:Boolean = false; var object:Boolean = new Boolean(false); trace( [ typeof primative, !primative, !primative.valueOf() ] ); trace( [ typeof object, !object, !object.valueOf() ] ); // AS2 output: // boolean,true,true // object,false,true In AS3 the two statements are equivalent... // AS3 output: // boolean,true,true // boolean,true,true ___ 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
