[Flashcoders] Sending Cyrilic text throws an: Error 2032?
Hi guys, I don´t know if i´m plain stupid or am missing the obvious here, but it bugs me out. I´m sending text to and fro some asp sitting on my server. Everything works peachy, until i try and post a russian string. Then flash throws a 2032 error. Do i need to massage my data handling geenie just the right way or do i need to enforce some special encoding in order to get it to work? Handling text is hard enough, doing it in cyrillic makes it a nightmare. Any tips or ideas are greatly appreciated.

[Flashcoders] slightly OT: Problems installing FP10
Hi guys, One of our server techs came to me with a problem. HeŽs upgrading a laptop running Win XP SP3 and IE8. But everytime heŽs installing Flash Player 10 it chokes trying to register the software. ItŽs allways on a file called flashplayer10c.ocx Anyone with a hint to what the problem could be?

SV: [Flashcoders] Placing sprites on the circumference of a circle
Hi guys, Been following this thread all day at work. I dunno if i´m totally missing the point here, but to get the effect you look for you only have to add the height of your sprite as an ingredient. like: nx = Math.sin( Math.PI / 180 * angle ) * ( radius + (b.height ) ); ny = Math.cos( Math.PI / 180 * angle ) * ( radius + (b.height ) ); While playing with this i also found a thing that made me grit my teeth a while before realizing it was too simple. You use: circle.graphics.drawCircle( radius, radius, radius -4); should be: circle.graphics.drawCircle( radius, radius, radius -2); Changing those things got me some nice blue rectangles with a red x in the mid bottom sitting right on the crust of your earth =) Amen to whoever was thinking about getting some mathbooks. I´m really thinking on going back to college to take some math classes, now that i know what to use it for.

SV: [Flashcoders] Component (dataGrid) issues flash 8 destroyObjectvs removeMovieClip
Hi guys,
All your answers put me in the right direction, thanks a bunch for that.
After some deep digging i found 2 things needed to delete the instance of my
dataGrid (for real).
1. locking the root of the container movieClip.
2. swapping depths of the dynamically added (container) movieclip before
purging it.
But, that puts me back to the question of using destroyObject() vs.
delete().
Can anyone shed some light on the difference between them?
Both seems to be doing the same thing memorywise.
Thanks again for good info as always.

Possibly, but I have not worked with data grids.
But deleting it completely will clear it so when you load it again it
will probably let the scroll bar get the correct height.
I'm thinking.

[Flashcoders] Component (dataGrid) issues flash 8 destroyObject vs removeMovieClip
Hi folks,
New member, or actually old member back on the list.
Backstory:
I am doing a flash piece for a clients intranet. Due to update policies i
have to work with flash player 8.
So i´m back to Flash 8 =).
I never did any component work back then.
Now i´m using a data grid component in one part of the movie.
Can anyone point me to some good reading about unloading a dataGrid
component.
Now i use:
destroyObject("my_dg")
to get rid of it.
But for some reason that plays havoc with removing the container movieClip
with:
removeMovieClip(content_clip)
Plus 2nd time i load the data grid the scrollbar is about 10px shorter than
the actual dataGrid?
It seems someone in their marketing staff got a look at the prototype and
decided to use it in a live presentation tomorrow.
So my work week starts early =)
And i had to do a pretty darn bad movieClip removal. I´m actually forcing
the container out by creating an empty movieClip at the same depth.
I have no clue what this does for preformance.
Any pointers to any documentation / resources / examples are greatly
appreciated.
Best regards
Micke

SV: [Flashcoders] retrieving names of external files in a folder(oris there something similar to Directors getNthFileNameInFolder())
Thanx for the input guys.
Will explore some more and probably find a load of other Qs, thats the best
thing with teaching =)
This is the first time in 10 years i´ve had enough time to learn new things
outside a mad tight deadline.

mit "Die machen..." meinte ich Alprausch. Alprausch macht Pullis,

[Flashcoders] retrieving names of external files in a folder (or is there something similar to Directors getNthFileNameInFolder())
Hi gang,
I´m slowly finding the pros (can admit there are some =) and cons of Flash
I´m lookning for a method similar to Directors getNthFileInFolder().
Atm, i´m using a dirty solution, SendAndLoad("myFiles.php", myObj, POST) with a
PHP file returning a variable containing the files in that folder.
Works well enough for the web but it feels like overkill for a standalone
player, or?
Is there a simpler way to do this?

[Flashcoders] Slightly OT (Hello world! and so forth ;)
Hi all, Been lurking the list for about 2 months and this far i´ve read a LOT of very good posts here. But this is my FIRST own contribution. I´m perty new to this list and serious Flash development aswell. Although i´ve got 10+ years experience with Macromedia/Adobe products (mainly Director). A lot of you will say finally he´s seen the light! Maybe your right, only time will tell. Right now i seriously feel as if i´ve taken a step back to somewhere around Director 5. Though i gotta say i love drawing in Flash. Truth to tell i´ve always looked down on JS because of a lot of things, won´t even start on why. So this far i´m spending a lot of time headbutting the syntax ;) So I might start of swearing about AS. But, i´ll work hard on learning to appreciate AS, i promise. But, i´ve been working with serious games programming in a lot of different enviroments, so i got a more than average grasp of how to structure my code (once i´ve managed to spell it right). Oh, this is just me ranting. Ok, i´ll admit it, i´ve only glanced through some flash books yet. Got 4 hopefully good ones comming this week. So this might be a tad bit premature. But any way Now to the Q´s: If they seem stoopid, plz, let me know ;) How do YOU work in Flash? -Timeline -Scripting (OOP, scope, frames) -Tools (external scripting, other external tools) -Built in behaviors and objects (Use / don´t use) -Putting it all together (multiple cooks?) How do YOU structure a project? Let´s say i´m making a custom video interface. Pretty straightforward. and i´ve got 1 dynamicaly loading videoclip. 1 set of player buttons (Play, Pause, Stop, FFW, REW) 1 volume control 1 animated playhead (with the posibility to drag it to any spot in the video) I´m interested in hearing your thought on how to use Flash for development in a time efficient and well managed way. respectfully Mikael Wirén ___ 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
