Re: [Flashcoders] world clock - revisited
I can't send code if that's what you need (because it belongs to a client app) but on each clock (that are a kind of widget you can place into a dashboard) you can select the timezone you want to display in that clock. The time is simply calculated by performing some math on the Date object: var d:Date = new Date(); var ct:Number = Number(d)+(d.getTimezoneOffset() * 6); // this makes the time be at GMT+0 d.setTime(ct + (selectedTimeZoneOffset * 6)); //this makes the time be at the selected Timezone Where the "selectedTimeZoneOffset" variable holds the information of the "b" attribute. Then, I use that date to check if I'm in DST I re-do the calc, but using the "d" attribute. Regards, On Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:05:44 -0300, Corban Baxter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: thats great!

This is the latest table: OLD_USADST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER, FIRST, SUNDAY, APRIL), NEW_USADST: new Dst(FIRST, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER, SECOND, SUNDAY, MARCH), EU_DST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER, LAST, SUNDAY, MARCH), CH_DST: new Dst(SECOND, SATURDAY, MARCH, SECOND, SATURDAY, OCTOBER), OCBR_DST: new Dst(SECOND, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY, FIRST, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER), NCBR_DST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY, FIRST, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER), MV_DST: new Dst(SECOND, SUNDAY, MARCH, FIRST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER), MA_DST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER, LAST, SUNDAY, MARCH), JD_DST: new Dst(LAST, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, LAST, THURSDAY, MARCH), ME_DST: new Dst(LAST, SATURDAY, OCTOBER, LAST, SUNDAY, MARCH), EG_DST: new Dst(LAST, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER, LAST, THURSDAY, APRIL), IS_DST: new Dst(THIRD, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER, LAST, FRIDAY, MARCH), NA_DST: new Dst(FIRST, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER, FIRST, SUNDAY, APRIL), AR_DST: new Dst(FIRST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER, FIRST, SUNDAY, APRIL), IR_DST: new Dst(FOURTH, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER, FIRST, SUNDAY, MARCH), AU_DST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, MARCH, LAST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER), TA_DST: new Dst(LAST, SUNDAY, MARCH, FIRST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER), NZ_DST: new Dst(THIRD, SUNDAY, MARCH, FIRST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER) There are a couple of countries that do not have a "programatic" DST but moves from year to year. Below is the XML I use to get the information I need: Attributes: n = name of the timezone b = time offset (in minutes) d = same, but in daylight f and l = used to identify first and last nodes. Any year before f will use the information in f for the calcs, any year after l will use the information in l. dst = the dst information from above. shh, ehh: Start hour and End hour where the change occurs (so, it is not always at 00:00). If a year does not has a DST information, it must has the information regarding the start and end date (sd = start day, sm = start month, ed = end day, em = end month). If no information is provided (nor DST nor Start/End dates), there are no DST for that specific year. Also, remember that countries/timezones that have DST may or may not apply the policy (example: Check GreenLand in the TimeZone control pannel in Windows, you have an option to adjust for DST or not).

Re: [Flashcoders] getDefinitionByName and error #1009
The problem is, I'm using getDefinitionByName in other places, and it
works fine.
The specific class (EN_US) is included, but I can't instantiate it. Also,
I was wrong on one of my statements: The trace of the static var
(trace(klass.test)) worked fine.
That what makes this a mystery for me.. The class is on the flash,
accessing its static member works, but instantiating it does not.

Also, the klass has a public static var "test". The trace(klass.test)

Re: [Flashcoders] javascript, externalinterface and swfobject part 2
Well, i don´t know for sure, but i never, ever use window[element] to
access an element object. I always use document.getElementById and had no
problems neither in explorer nor in firefox/opera/safari.
Also, you should better not use document.write to write content on a page.
document.write statements must be run before the page finishes loading.
This means that they must be either in the body of the page or in
functions called from the body of the page.
Any document.write statement that runs after the page finishes loading
will create a new page and overwrite all of the content of the current
page. This is almost certainly not what you intend to have happen.
Use the DOM functions to create a new node and append it to the DOM tree
or innerHTML to write content to an existing node (while you can, of
course, create the content and insert it on an existing node using DOM,
internet explorer has problems with that, so go with the innerHTML
version).

As far as i know, no, is not documented. Is adobe aware? It should,
because i reported that. But i also reported some other problems a long

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Textformat size ignores anything over 96
You can´t. I had to develop an application that needed text
sizes bigger than that, and i had to create a "special" text
field in where if the size was bigger than 96px (in fact the
limit is on the line of the 80px, that´s why i use 81 in the
function), i scaled up (by for example 200%) the text field
and place the text scaled down (by 50% in this case).
The function i use to find the scale is:
private function calcFSize(pSize:Number, pDiv:Number):Number {
pDiv = pDiv || 1;
if ((pSize / pDiv) < 81) return pDiv;
return calcFSize(pSize, ++pDiv);
}
and you use it like:
var fontSize = 384;
var perc = calcFSize(fontSize); //fontSize is the size in
pixels of the font.
textformat.size = fontSize/perc;
textfield._xscale = textfield._yscale = perc * 100;

why i use 81 in the function), i scaled up (by for example 200%) the text
field and place the text scaled down (by 50% in this case).
The function i use to find the scale is:
private function calcFSize(pSize:Number, pDiv:Number):Number {
pDiv = pDiv || 1;
if ((pSize / pDiv) < 81) return pDiv;
return calcFSize(pSize, ++pDiv);
}
and you use it like:
var fontSize = 384;
var perc = calcFSize(fontSize); //fontSize is the size in pixels of the
font.
textformat.size = fontSize/perc;
textfield._xscale = textfield._yscale = perc * 100;

Re: [Flashcoders] weird htmlText split and join behavior
V8 of the player (i don´t know 9) seems to have a BIG problem with
textfields. Anytime you modify the contents of an html text field from
WITHING the text field (ie: you are modifying the textfield using a link
on the textfield) the player start doing weird things with the content.
I have the same problem in an html editor i made, where you can "click" on
the images. The player starts duplicating the image and you will end with
two, three or more images stacked. In your case, the player is duplicating
the link all over the textfield.
Try doing the same but using a button... No problem and all works as
expected.
My solution (because i can´t use a button to edit the image) was to
rebuild the area. Yes... each time you edit an image, i rebuild the entire
textarea...

Hello all,
I'm upgrading a project from v7 to v8 player. Main reason is better
text readability.
In this project, split().join() combination is used to hide/show some
text (similar to css tricks in "normal" html).
It works great in player v7, but, when published for v8, all text
becomes underlined...
Here is a test movie (click "replace" link):

var string2replace:String = "**";
var links_area:String = "href=\"asfunction:doReplace,var1\">replace: case #1";
// NOTE:

Re: [Flashcoders] Grabbing data directly from the HTML page
ML page
I was playing around with the idea of passing data from an HTML page
directly into a Flash movie via Javascript/SWFObject. One thing I wanted
to try was sending the text that SWFObject replaces into the Flash
movie.
In Firefox this was pretty simple. E.g., if SWFObject was replacing the
contents of ..., then all that was needed
was something in the Javascript code like:
var swfObj = new SWFObject(parameters);
swfObj.addVariable("HTML_flashContent", escape('' +
document.getElementById("flash-content").innerHTML.toString() +
""));
Then, in Flash, the root variable HTML_flashContent can be parsed into
an XML object. This has obvious benefits for search engine optimization,
as well as making it so a Flash and non-Flash version of a page can be
the exact same file.
Unfortunately, though, Internet Explorer and Safari return SGML, not
XHTML, for the innerHTML property (e.g., the above div tag gets
converted to ... in IE). I made a
quick-and-dirty SGML to XHTML conversion tool to get around this, and it
seems to work so far.
My question is, has anybody else made an SGML to XHTML conversion tool
in ActionScript, or should I continue to refine mine and offer it for
public use when done?

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: inline images in a textarea
They measure the width of each character and then insert spaces where the image should be placed. Then the image is attached onto a movieclip using as a coordinates the sum of the width of all the characters in one line. If the text spans into multiple lines, that´s no problem neither. You know the width of the text field, so you can check where the text will span, and measuring the height of a textline, add that space to the y coord. Easy? No. Doable? Yes. In fact, i remember now a component that does exactly that... don´t remember the name, but something with emoticons and flash :) Regards, On Tue, 12 Sep 2006 15:43:23 -0300, Rich Rodecker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: wierd...how do you suppose they did it here then?: http://www.mambers.com/chat/preloader.swf i thought about picking the string apart and piecign together some new movieclips/text fields to display the content, but that would get crazy when the text spans multiple lines. the link above handles it pretty well though.

Re: [Flashcoders] WSIWYG HTML text editor in Flash?
It was developed with that in mind, but the class itself can be used as standalone editor (I´m already using it for some projects). You simply set the content by writting to the _content property of the HTMLeditor class and get the content by reading that property. Currently i don´t have the time to make a component, but it should be really easy to create a component from what is done.

Re: [Flashcoders] Embedding a SWF using base64 and Data: URI scheme
It is possible to encode ANY file to base64 and insert it on a page (a flash file, an image, a sound). The problem is that IE doesn´t support it. You can do (for example) src="data:image/gif;base64,dSQ84lLQfY5R14wDB5Lyon4ubwS7jx9NcV9/j5+g4JADs=" width="10" height="15" /> And all browsers will show the correct image, and IE a broken image icon. (the above image is not a real one, so don´t try on your browser).

I think you may have hit one of the problems with using javascript:
pseudo urls. If I remember correctly, when you use a javascript pseudo
url it disables some of the events under some circumstances. You could
try two things - either use fscommand (or FlashJS, or one of the other
communication packages floating around on the net) or try returning
false from the javascript: url (I'm not sure about this one).
getURL("javascript:setFlashHeight('wrapper','"+h+"');return false;");
This is the only mention of the problem that I could find:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.javascript/browse_frm/thread/a57416b64499f57b/e77bfad5ee2fe342?lnk=st&q=javascript+pseudo+url+images+not+loading+group%3Acomp.lang.javascript&rnum=2&hl=en#e77bfad5ee2fe342
Since the javascript: url seems to work fine in plugin based browsers
(Mozilla, Opera, Safari), and just doesn't work in ActiveX (IE) you
could check the plugin type in Actionscript
(System.capabilities.playerType == "PlugIn"), and use fscommand for
ActiveX and use getURL for plugin. You would just need to add a vbscript
to catch the fscommand and route it to the javascript call.
Something along these lines should work (untested - probably needs work):
Actionscript:
if (System.capabilities.playerType == "PlugIn") {
getURL("javascript:setFlashHeight('wrapper','"+h+"');return false;");
} else {
fscommand("setFlashHeight", "wrapper,"+h);
}
HTML:
On Error Resume Next
Sub <YourMovieName>_FSCommand(ByVal command, ByVal args)
Call yahooMap_DoFSCommand(command, args)
End Sub
function <YourMovieName>_DoFSCommand(command, args) {
var args = args.split(',');
window[command](args[0], args[1]);
}
:NOTE: You could probably do everything from the VBScript, but I don't
know VBScript well.
Also, if you are publishing to Flash 8 then you can save yourself some
headache by using ExternalInterface.
BTW, I'm pretty sure this is an IE problem, not a Flash one. ;-)

I've been experiencing an intermittent problem with a getURL call back
to a javascript function on the page calling an SWF.
I'm using Flash 8, and testing on XP. With Firefox, there is no
issue. With IE 6, I experience the problem about 80% of the time.
This issue is that I have my SWF in a div, with some divs below it
containing some gif images. When I flush the browser's cache, the
images always display. After subsequent page refreshes (F5), the
images usually don't appear (but sometimes do).
I'm using the SWF to display some variable content, filling dynamic
text fields from passed variables. I can also select from a number of
fonts via a passed var. When the font changes, the div height needed
to contain the stage changes. I created an actionscript function that
passes the new calculated height back to the page via a javascript call:
function resize() {
if (allowResize == "true") {
h = Math.ceil(pBody._y+pBody._height)+10;
getURL("javascript:setFlashHeight('wrapper','"+h+"');");
}
}
The HTML page has the javascript function setFlashHeight() that resizes
the enclosing division for the SWF, via DOM. Like I say, it all works
fine with Firefox, and the HTML and CSS are both correct.
I first suspected a DOM issue, but I later discovered that if I added a
return statement as the first line of the javascript function, the
problem persisted.
If I comment out the getURL call in the actionscript, my disappearing
image problem goes away. So it appears to be a Flash issue of some
sort, which I'm not understanding.
I've Googled around a bit and can't find anything remotely related to
this problem. I'm on a tight project deadline and am about to send $99
to Macromedia for a support call. I thought I'd check with this wise
group first to see if this rings any bells. Is this some sort of known
issue with Flash/IE? Driving me nuts!

Re: [Flashcoders] Text editor - Selection trouble.
That´s right, because once you hitted the button, the selection is the
button.
You need to store the start/end index somewere and then, on the button,
use that indexes instead of the Selection functions.
An easy way could be to assign into an onEnterFrame a function that checks
if the selected item is the textfield and if is, store the start/end
positions of the selection.
Then, the button code should look like (assuming you stored the start/end
indexes in startIndex and endIndex)
boldButton.onRelease = function () {
my_txt.setTextFormat(startIndex, endIndex, arialBold);
}
Hope it helps...

If anyone can give me some pointers it would be much apreciated.
Problem is that whenever I try to use my buttons I loose focus of the
textField and the Selection doesn't trigger. Like so:
boldButton.onRelease = function () {
my_txt.setTextFormat(Selection.getBeginIndex(),
Selection.getEndIndex(), arialBold);
}
Selection.getBeginIndex() and Selection.getEndIndex() only returns -1
And if someone has a live exemple (with code) that would be awesome. A
component is not an option tho.

Marcelo,
here is a solution:
put two radio buttons on the stage and call it rb1 / rb2. then in the
actions layer put:
import mx.controls.RadioButton;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
var dispatchEvent:Function;
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
//create prototype reference for RadioButton
var osv = _global.mx.controls.RadioButton.prototype;
//hold onto the old setSelected method ( The intrinsic set Selected
method is in SimpleButton, RadioButton inherits from that. the set
method simply calls setSelected. )
osv.oldSetSelected = osv.setSelected;
osv.oldOnRelease = osv.onRelease;
//overwrite onrelease to deal with multiple events being dispatched.
osv.onRelease = function():Void
{
this['wasReleased'] = true;
this.oldOnRelease.apply(this,[]);
}
//overwrite the old method with new method.
osv.setSelected = function(val:Boolean):Void
{
if( !this['wasReleased'] )
{
if( val == true )
{
this.dispatchEvent( { type:'codeSelected' } );
this.oldSetSelected.apply( this,[ true ] );
}
}
else
{
this.oldSetSelected.apply( this,[ true ] );
}
this['wasReleased'] = false;
}
//add listener to radio button.
rb1.addEventListener('codeSelected', Delegate.create(this,
handleCodeSelect));
rb1.addEventListener('click', Delegate.create(this, handleClick));
//handle code selected event
function handleCodeSelect():Void
{
trace("codeSelected");
}
//handle click event
function handleClick():Void
{
trace("CLICK");
}
//set an interval to do some testing on the codeSelected event
tmpInt = setInterval(setSel,1000,true);
//set the selected property
function setSel():Void
{
//trigger the event
rb1.selected = true;
}
test that out.. you'll see that for testing i just set an interval to
change the selected property to true.. the event gets dispatched every
time the selected property is set to true. Also worth mentioning you
have to update the onRelease method to deal with multiple events being
dispatched. Also don't name the codeSelected event as click, as that is
not whats happening and would cause confusion.
rb2 is never used in this example.. just use that to click back and
forth between... also try commenting out the interval just for more
testing.. you'll see that just the click event fires..

Not directly, but you could add something like this (I haven't used the
rb component for a while, but I think this would work
radioButton.autoClick=function() {
this.selected=true
linkType_cml.setType()
}
Then to select the radio button you just call radioButton.autoClick(),
and your event should be dispatched.

It´s possible to make the radio button dispatch the "click" event if i

The following doesn´t work (but of course, if you mouse-select the radio
button, works perfectly):
function setType(){
trace("it works!");
}
linkType_cmp = _root[_root.radioComponent.groupName];
linkType_cmp.addEventListener("click", setType);
linkType_cmp.selected = true;

Can you give me an example of what you mean in practice? Right now I'm fairly close to dropping styleSheets altogether. My current plan is to have a parser that translates the HTML into my own internal XML format, so that the textField is really a fairly dumb container, but really this is turning into such a nasty hack that I'm not terribly happy about it.

Re: [Flashcoders] CSS with input text
Is not possible at all. When flash parses a CSS styled html, it simply replaces all the tags with the corresponding formatting code (textformat, font, etc). And you are right about the structure: While the majority of the time the structure remains the same (in flash format, of course) it starts to change when you add images. To change the format of a CSS parsed html, you must use setTextFormat/setNewTextFormat. On Mon, 20 Mar 2006 07:19:30 -0300, Danny Kodicek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: use textField.setNewTextFormat() Thanks, I know about that and am using it extensively. But it doesn't let me do what I want to do, which is to apply a CSS to my text editor. I've noticed that all the text editors out there suffer from the same problem, though, so perhaps I'm stuck with it. It just means that when I tell Flash to display html of one kind, it's going to change it to something else. And when it comes to parsing that back to the XML I want, this makes me nervous: can be absolutely sure it's always going to have the same structure? If not, what parameters can I expect to have to deal with? I hate being out of control in that way. Danny I've got a textField I'm trying to use for input text and I'd like to be able to style it. Unfortunately, the htmlText is being automatically set to this: a This isn't much help, because the FONT tag is appearing inside the P tag, with the result that any styling Iattach to P is being overridden (at least, I assume this is the source of the problem). Any idea how I can avoid this? Really, my ideal would be for Flash not to keep 'helping' me by adding its own HTML or changing mine: I'd like to be able to tell it exactly what HTML I want displayed. This is particularly important because I need to be able to extract the HTML at the end and return it.

[Flashcoders] Math, Maps and problems...
Hi, I have to make an app that, given a bitmap of a Map (a photo of a city), and given the georeferences of the upper-left corner and lower-right corner of that photo, take any group of latitudes/longitudes and draw on the map that coordinates. I´ve tried using the Mercator projection formula, but for some reason it doesn´t work. Probably because i need to "interpolate" the whole world size from the given map. Ideas? Formulas?

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Load external bitmap into bitmapdata?
The problem is: I need to load a bitmap. I can´t embed the bitmap inside
a
swf, because i have no control over the bitmaps.
Any other ideas?

My understanding is that you can only load BitmapData from an existing
image
which is already in your library and has a linkage ID. For this reason,
I
don't think you can load an image and get its BitmapData. I was thinking
there might be a workaround though...
I was going to try embedding the jpg/png/gif in an swf and giving it a
linkage id in the library, then load that swf into your master movie and
attach the BitmapData from the loaded swf's library.
Possible issues? I know you can't attach library assets from a loaded
swf
into another swf so the same limitation may apply with BitmapData.
Again, I
thought a workaround for this might be to attach the BitmapData into the
swf
you've just loaded and then clone it to a BitmapData object elsewhere?
As you can see, I've been doing a lot of thinking and not a lot of doing
so
I'm not sure if this is of any help at all!
I'd be very interested to know if any of this works.
Cheers, Adrian P

I know this isn't the best way to do it (hello delegate), but still.
One of the big things in FlashDevelop for me is the dynamic code
completion, and when i type "this." in the onData handler, it gives me a

Or am i wrong? The scope of handlers confuses me.

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML text font size issue
It´s a limit of the player. And it´s a weird one. I have to write some
custom function to find the maximum font site in a text field, if i found
a value > 81 (empiric value) use the following function to find the
divisor:
function calcFSize(pSize:Number, pDiv:Number):Number {
if (!pDiv) pDiv = 1;
if ((pSize / pDiv) < 81) return pDiv;
return calcFSize(pSize, ++pDiv);
}
then divide each font size by the scale, draw the text and scale the whole
text block by 100 * scale.
Hope that helps.
