RE: [Flashcoders] duplicate loaded image + convert object to image

2008-02-29 Thread Michael Ypes
Stathis,

Create a class that deals with the loading of images. Once that image has
been loaded you can create a bitmapdata of that image and then distribute it
as many times as you want. I have used this method several times and have
built classes to deal with it.

If you need some class files then email me offlist and I can send them
through.

They are built in flex but can easily be converted to flash as3 if need be. 

This technique also does not load the images twice as it detects if that
image has already been loaded or not.

Cheers

Michael

I hadn't thought using BitmapData, I 'll give it a try.
As for loading images twice, if this is the only way then I'll have to
walk it!

Many thanks Ian!

Stathis,
   No, in AS2 you can't duplicate loaded content using
duplicateMovieClip. Your choices are:
 - to load each image again, every time you need it (isn't as slow/bad
as it sounds - the cache speeds it up dramatically)
 - to duplicate the image by storing/copying loaded images's
BitmapData - this is your best bet, if you're using Flash Player 8+

Hope that helps,
   Ian

RE: [Flashcoders] central up to date data

2007-10-21 Thread Michael Ypes
Great to have the list back, I was worried for a while that it was gone
forever, phew

In answer to your question: 

Create a singleton class which stores all data. I use this in applications
to store data from xml files and use it as a mvc pattern. This way you can
extract the information from the data anywhere in the application by using
the getInstance() method.

EG.

ModelData.getInstance().getMenuColor()

Which would then return the color that you are after.

Read Joey Lotts book AS3 with Design Patterns - which can be easily
translated for AS2 but really helps on building a usable architecture for
your applications which are scaleable and usable.

If you require an example then shout again. Bit rushed at the mo.

Cheers

Subject: [Flashcoders] central up to date data

Hi List!

I'm using a class named utils.as to store data like color values in my
project.
This class is then extended by let's say the application.as and the menu.as.

Next in the application class I change the value of a var in the utils
class.
When retrieving this value from the third (menu) class I still get the old
value instead of the new one.

What is the best thing to do when I want to keep my data central, up to date
and accesible for all classes in my project?

Kind regards,

RE: [Flashcoders] AS2 Shared Fonts and dynamically created textFields

2007-07-23 Thread Michael Ypes
Hey Ivan,

Now your code is free :) Can you quickly confirm how you embedded the fonts at 
runtime without embedding the shared library at author time. I have done it 
based on something similar to yours but by someone else on flash coders. Is it 
because it is embedded into the external flash file which you are loading that 
it becomes available to the main movie. I hope this makes sense. Anyhow that is 
how I have got it to work but I don't know why it works as there is no 
documentation on this. I would really appreciate an insight to this just so 
that I can understand the logic behind it.

RE: [Flashcoders] Display Non-English Characters from XML?

2007-07-23 Thread Michael Ypes
Are you sure that the font supports é. If you are using unique font sets
then they may not be in the font set. An easy way to test is to just create
a static field in the flash file and cut and paste the text from the xml
into the textfield and see if the character displays.

What font are you using?

I do a lot of translation stuff and can send over an example file in French
if you need. Try the above first though.

Hey buddy

Your English is great :) I can't speak any other language so I appreciate your 
effort. I  get the idea of what you are talking about and roughly guessed the 
same thing. The great thing is that you can do this sort of thing and it is so 
simple to do that so many developers will find it useful to use. I do alot of 
multilingual stuff and they are always concerned with file size which this can 
help with.

Language library loaded prior to application = major file saving :)

Thanks for your response Ivan, i've always seen you as the pioneer of font 
embedding :)

And that's serious

Hello Michael,

- my english is bad but I will try.
I think a fonts inside shared libraries have different realisation
than movies in libraries.
Previously if font is shared than this font have something like
property I'm shared and can be used outside his movie.
Second difference is garbage collector behaviour for fonts:
if some font don't used this font will not removed if any
TextFormat object have his name (not link!).

This behaviour isn't documented because it's incorrect realisation.
Correct realisation must work like all other libraries objects.

I hope my english is understandable.

Good luck!

RE: [Flashcoders] Language expert on embedding fontsfordifferent language sets

2007-07-19 Thread Michael Ypes
Thanks Dennis

This app needs 28 countries, i.e. the whole of Europe which is why we are
using Arial as it has the full character set needed including Armenian,
Cyrillic and Greek. It's just that I wanted to split it into its different
locales so that countries did not need to load in unwanted/unneeded font
sets. However I have just been informed that the company will need the latin
font set to a certain extent as they will want to include there
brand/product names which are all in latin. So for the other languages, i.e.
Cyrillic, Armenian and Greek I shall embed only the basic latin along with
Upper/Lower, punctuation and numerals along with their specific language
set. I am hoping that should cover it...

I did do a project a few months ago which got translated from English to
welsh and we had problems with the font. The font was a bespoke handwritten
font which did not have the welsh character of a y with a hat/circumflex
so if you know of a bit of software that enables you to extend a character
set then I would definitely like to know. It was an absolute nightmare
converting all that text into another font...

I believe the character extending program works with indexes where you can 
place/draw the character.. to get the right index/spot where a new character

should go in a font i believe we compared it with Arial.. the reason was 
that Arial was pretty complete.

Not sure what the program was called though.. (designer is on vacation

 Mind that i'm not using the  -Latin Extended B.

 So far we had no complaints with that not being enough characters..

[Flashcoders] Intermittent Bug With Movie(s) Not Showing

2006-01-25 Thread Michael Ypes
Weird bug here which I cannot find a solution anywhere.

 

Basically I use flash as headings in a html page.  This enables me to create
dynamic headings in nice fonts so that I don't have to create thousands of
gifs/jpgs :-)

 

The problem is however that sometimes none of the titles show. This is an
intermittent problem and is difficult to replicate so not sure why it is
doing it!!

 

The Flash movies are one frame long and I pass through the variable of what
the title is.

 

When they don't show and right click on the area where the flash movie is
supposed to be the flash context menu does not appear. It is as if flash
does not exist in that location at all.

 

 

I also put an onEnterFrame aswell as I thought that it might not be finding
the variable in time and therefore not completing the function.

 

I have included the code below. Any ideas or help greatly appreciated
otherwise I shall have to use plain html text, urgg...

 

 

 

_sTitle and _sTitle2 are values that I pass in via flashvars also the movie
has the following param so that dhtml menus are able to be seen

 

param name=wmode value=transparent/

 

 

this.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(_sTitle!=undefined){

//_sTitle = 'Welcome to Ellesco.co.uk';

//_sTitle2 = '+Market Leaders In
Finishing  Polishing Machines';

oTxt._width = oTxt2._width =
