RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 Nice Knob(s)
I think in general, knobs always behave like sliders. Take for example Ableton Live, a music software which use a lot of knobs, they all behave like sliders. I think the knobs on the link you were referring to may seem more realistic but are actually harder to use. -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Eric E.

Hey Patrick,
I've run into the exact same issue that you have. Actionscript doesn't
support overloaded methods or constructors at this time, although there is
talk that they are going to add that support at some point in the future.
I have not to this day, found a way to use the apply method on a
constructor.
I'm working on a DateTime class that can proxy for a Date class. I had to
do something very similar to what you're doing:
http://natebeck.net/swag/trunk/src/net/natebeck/core/DateTime.as (Look at
the constructor)
I've even tried something like this:
_date = new Date(... args); // - Make this work, please :D
But I get an interesting error: 1199 : RestExpressionNode not yet
implemented.
Another train of thought would be to do something very similar to a
singleton pattern. Instead of using the constructor, always call a method.
myClass.getInstance().doSomething().
But that still doesn't solve the creation of a class with n-number of
parameters.
I understand what you're trying to do, I just haven't found a good way to do
it yet. If you figure something out, be sure to let me know!
Cheers,
Nate

What you've got here is the case of a corrupted library item. It happens sometimes and there's only one thing you can do about it. Not too long ago, my team inherited a Flash 8 file with a corrupted library item that was so terribly corrupted, the Flash 8 file would only open in Flash CS3 on an old G4 Mac running OSX Jaguar. Yes, it was that specific (We assumed that the original file was probably built on that system spec). It would not open in Windows Flash 8 or CS3, it would not open on any Mac Flash 8 or CS3 running a version of OSX higher than Jaguar. What we had to (and you have to) do is go through your library symbols one by one, deleting each one until you find the sucker, and then replacing it if need be. Thankfully, you can open your file directly. We had to open the file in Flash CS3 (which is bloated and slow) on that slow old Mac with 256MB RAM, delete a symbol, save as a new Flash file, copy said file to the network drive, and try to open it from another computer, rinse repeat, until we found the graphic that was causing it.

RE: [Flashcoders] The Charges Against ActionScript 3.0
I've always admired Colin Moock, but after reading those 9 points, I'm not sure
he still has all that credibility anymore...
1. The removal of on()/onClipEvent() from Flash CS3 makes creating
simple interactivity hard.
Who would want to add an onClipEvent on a movieclip anymore? I haven't done
that since like... flash 5 or 6... You're much better off writing function
onEnterFrame(){} instead of onClipEvent(enterFrame){}... And I'm so glad AS3
got rid of that onLoad method...
2. Getting rid of loaded .swf files is hard.
That is like the only point in this list that makes sense.
3. Casting DisplayObject.parent makes controlling parent movie
clips hard.
Not sure what that means but I never ever use parent... its just bad OOP... But
I guess they could have casted parent as Sprite. And also maybe set Sprite as a
dynamic class like MovieClip?
4. The removal of getURL() makes linking hard.
Yeah well it's just a little more complicated but when you know how to do it,
it's just fine.
5. The removal of loadMovie() makes loading .swf files and images hard.
Haven't used loadmovie since flash 6. In flash 7, use MovieClipLoader instead,
it's much better. Now why does AS3 use Loader instead of MovieClipLoader...
that I don't know...
6. ActionScript 3.0's additional errors make coding cumbersome.
Hmm well those errors are supposed to help you... But I admit that some of the
errors could be a little more explicit on what is wrong... If I'm trying to
access a property that is undefined, can Flash please tell me which one ?
7. Referring to library symbols dynamically is unintuitive.
No it's not. I really like doing addChild(new RedCircle()) instead of
attchMovieClip(RedCircle, circle, getNextHighestDepth())
8. Adding custom functionality to manually created text fields, to
all movie clips, or to all buttons is cumbersome.
I don't think this is really relevant. Nobody wants all classes to be dynamic
do they? Althought, I admit it could be nice to extend TextField...
9. The removal of duplicateMovieClip() makes cloning a MovieClip
instance (really) hard.
Duplicate movieclips ? Geez, I remember using that back in the day, I would put
a button off stage and then duplicate it to create multiple instances of it.
But you're much better off using attachMovie if you're working with AS2.

RE: [Flashcoders] Overriding the trace command
It may not be relevant to your problem and you probably know this already but
when you use trace, the output is the result of the toString method of the
object you are tracing. And you can override toString to output whatever you
want.
override public function toString():String {
return test;
}
trace(myObject); // outputs test

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Overriding the trace command
As everyone else mentioned, I don't think there's a way to override the
trace function in as3.
However, if you put a public function in the unnamed package, your
application will be able to reach this function from anywhere,
so if you're willing to use something else like log() or debug() as a method
name instead of trace(), then you can
replicate the trace function's behavior and add your own customizations.
I've been using this to route my traces to AirLogger, for example.
As a quick demo, this would just route your arguments to the trace function.
Just put the following code in a file called debug.as in the root of your
classpath.
package {
public function debug(...args):void {
trace.apply(null, args);
}
}
Hope this helps!

I'm afraid you can't extend the trace builtin function . Using another

console or even the trace() function, if at some point you need it, is the

switch, like a preprocessor macro, making textual substitutions to trace
calls in the AS.
The thing is that trace function is not compiled into a call to an
actionscript function, but it's embedded directly with its own bytcode in
the swf. That's why you can't change its behaviour from AS code.

A very quick one, I haven't had to over-ride or extend built in classes
since the good old days of prototyping in AS1, specifically this time I
want
to extend the built in trace() statement with some conditions etc. Can
this
be done? or do I need to do my own custom logger such as those out there

[Flashcoders] trace all properties of a class recursively
Is it possible to trace all the properties of a class with AS3? I kwow it works on dynamic properties on Object or Array... My class is like a tree and I want to see if the tree is built correctly. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] trace all properties of a class recursively
Yeah but describe type won't loop through the tree in a recursive manner.
So I ended up writing a typed recursive function that will recursively trace
each object in the tree. It works fine.
public static function recurse(page:Page, level:Number =
0):void {
var string:String = ;
for (var j = 0; j level; j++) {
string = string + ;
}
trace(string + page);
level++;
for (var i in page.pages) {
recurse(page.pages[i], level);
}
}
/*
Outputs
[Page id=Nav]
[Page id=Green1]
[Page id=Green2]
[Page id=Green3]
[Page id=Green4]
[Page id=Red1]
[Page id=Red2]

It is more likely that just the card turning effect is pre-rendered and the card content is composited at runtime. When the card turns you can see a slight crease in the middle of the content. It appears as though they are blitting the content to two bitmap objects (one left and one right side) then using a distortion technique to make the content conform to the card flipping animation. I would imagine that they have a single pre-rendered animation that they are applying a hue difference to in order to reuse it for all cards. They developers also seem to be doing some clever stuff to make each card unique... so perhaps the static cards are pre-rendered for each and only the flip animation is re-used.

you can check out these set of classes I created for something similar

it doesn't loop each mp3 files but, creates a song based on an array of

You can modify it as you wish to fit your needs but the simplest thing
would be to just to repeat the filename in the array [file1, file1,

Hi there, thanks for checking my post. I am trying to create a class that
will play a number of mp3 loops each a specified number of times and in the
specified order. I have tried to find an existing class but cant find one
anywhere.
My solution (which may not be that efficient), is to create all of the sound
objects in the fla then load the mp3s into them. When they are all loaded
each sound object is added to a new object that holds it as well as a 'loops'
property that says how many times the sound object must play. These objects
are then put into an array in the order they are to be heard. This array is
passed to my LoopSound class that controls the playback. I can also pass a
'loopForever' property that will make the series repeat indefinitely.
The problem I am having is re-triggering the play() function from within my
LoopSound Class to move onto the next sound in the array. I am sure that
there will be a much neater way of achieving what I want, and maybe even a
pre-written class!
Any direction / suggestions / encouragement much appreciated :)

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 how to link movieclip manually put on the stage to class member
Why don't you just attach the class to your movieclip in the library ?
Right-click on the movieclip in the library, click on linkage,
write a linkage id in the class field and write the path to your class in the
base class field.
Example
Class : BlueCircle
BaseClass : project.shapes.Circle
You can create an instance of the Blue circle by doing
var blueCircle:BlueCircle = new BlueCircle();
addChild(blueCircle);
your class should look like this
package project.shapes{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Circle extends MovieClip {
public function Circle(){
trace(this);
}
}
}

[Flashcoders] AS3 root
Hi fellas, I have a swf that's loaded inside another one. The container swf
calls the transitionIn function in the loaded swf. In AS2, I used to put this
in the loaded swf:
if(this == _root){
transitionIn();
}
That way I could test my swf in the flash IDE independently from the parent
swf. If the swf was loaded in the container, this wouldn't be eqal to _root and
the transitionIn would not be called.
I'm trying to do the same thing in AS3. Every displayObject container has a
root property but, it stops at the swf level. So root of the loaded swf is
equal to the actual swf, not the container. So how can I know if the swf is
tested by itself in the IDE or it is loaded by the container?

There's also this:

var element:Sprite = new ClassRef();
That allows you to really use a string and not a class reference,
which is what I think you want...
But, as with Flash 8, the class reference must really exist in your
swf somewhere, so
you may as well do what elibol suggested...

If you want to call addChild on the content then you can simply do:
addChild(event.target.content)
and that will throw your content on the stage. I'm not sure why it is not
possible to name that new content. I've tried playing around with this
myself and can't figure out how once you've loaded the content you can
access that content as a class. I've loaded up swfs and can reference
classes within the swf no problem and create instances of those classes
but if I try to get a class definition for the content all I can get is
MovieClip and I can't figure out how to create new instances of the that
loaded content without running another loader
Not sure if that helps you any or not.

Subject: [Flashcoders] scrollwheel bug in AS3?
I am migrating code from AS2 to AS3 and came across some unexpected
browser behavior -- both the SWF and the surrounding web page are
scrolling at the same time.
The following examples are both running in 9,0,28,0 (IE 7 and Firefox
2).
In AS2 (compiled to either v7 or v9), the surrounding web page does
NOT scroll while the embedded SWF has focus and captures wheel events.
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function (delta) {
myMovieClip._x += delta;
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
In AS3 (compiled to v9), both the surrounding web page and the
embedded SWF scroll at the same time (while the SWF has focus).
myMovieClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, handleMouseWheel);
private function handleMouseWheel(evt:MouseEvent):void {
myMovieClip.x += evt.delta;
}
I am trying to prevent the web page from scrolling while the SWF has
focus and receives MOUSE_WHEEL events. I have tried stopPropagation
() and stopImmediatePropagation() to no avail.
The behavior is the same whether I render the SWF object/embed code
via JavaScript or directly in the HTML.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Adam

Another way to do this is to have an init() method that you call in-line
to
your attachMovie().
class MyClass extends MovieClip
{
public function MyClass() {}
public function init(args):MyClass
{
// do your constructor type stuff here
return this
}
}
And this is how you use it:
var myClass:MyClass = myClip.attachMovie(linkage, name,
depth).init(args);
This way, you can also type-cast your instance to your Class without
having
to re-cast. I forgot who came up with this or where I saw it, but it's
been
pretty useful for me when extending MovieClip.

Hi Sebastian,
When extending the MovieClip Class in AS2, there is no way to access the
constructor. All initializations should be done, like Matthias Dittgen
mentionned with the optional initObject argument of
attachMovie(libraryID, instanceName, depth, initObject)
That way you set all the properties that you need before the onLoad() of
your Class. Don't forget that it's a MovieClip and in AS2 it's instances
are not handled the same way as other Classes and has it's own rules :)
You should read on the MovieClip Class, it's all there

If it is a movie clip you want to instantiate then you have to use:
_root.attachMovie(libraryID, instanceName, depth);
The class associated with it will construct and the onLoad event will
trigger if it is being listened to.
this indeed works, but then i can't pass any values to the
constructor.
Is there any way to attachMovie and at the same time pass values to
it?
I supose I can always refer to it afterwards on the time line and call
a
custom function... but it would be nice to use the constructor's
functionality.
I had hoped I could generate new instances just by calling a
constructor
instead of attaching it to something; but i guess logically i it needs
to be

A quadratic curve is made of 3 points.
The first point is beginning of the curve, the second point creates the

t being a number between 0 and 1, 0 is the location of the first point,
0.5 is the middle of the curve, 1 is the last point.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Curves question for math gurus
Hi,
I have a dynamically drawn curve. It's a simple curve, with 2 end
points,
and its yfactor will vary.
I'm trying to figure out a way to have objects snap to this curved
line. I
would distribute them over the _x axis, and I need a formula to get
their _y
position on the curved line.
Here is a visual explanation:
http://pages.videotron.com/poubou/flash/curve.jpg
Now, I guess this requires trigonometry... And I really am a newb when
it
comes to trig...
Any help would be appreciated !

RE: [Flashcoders] Class for movie - best practice question
Try this class. Put new ApplicationClass(this); on the first frame of
the timeline.
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class ApplicationClass extends MovieClip{
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
private var dispatchEvent:Function;
public function ApplicationClass(target){
target.__proto__ = __proto__;
this = ApplicationClass(target);
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
init();
}
private function init(){
trace(this = + this);
}
}
You can also use that class as a generic class for all your timelines
and extend it like this
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import it.sephiroth.XML2Object;
class RootClass extends ApplicationClass{
public function RootClass(target){
super(target);
}
private function init(){
trace(override init this = + this);

RE: [Flashcoders] Class for movie - best practice question
This AS2 class acts like the document class in AS3.
You need to extend MovieClip like you need to extend Sprite or MovieClip
in AS3.
Tracing this in the class will result in _level0, its not composition.
Its really useful for swf that you load, gives you the ability to type
check everything on the root timeline without having to create an empty
clip on the timeline etc... And I've thrown in EventDispatcher in there
which is really useful as well.

What I ended up doing to fix the problem, was adjusting my frame sizes. eg. you might need a graphic (on Stage) sizing on the 9 px lined frame and then load it to the image.

However, I also use it as the background for a dynamically loaded image - and the images are of various sizes. I am setting the width and height of the embosser clip to that of the image, but the clip doesn't quite fit the image like it should. The clip is either not quite wide enough, or not quite tall enough... It must be the 9 slice scaling, since if I use a normal clip, without 9 slice enabled, it sizes it properly.

so far I'm trying to use this, but it appears to be useless.
this is the code inside the object which is dragged.

Hello Patrick,
PMB Anybody has any other idea ?
owerriding or watch of properties is impossible.
Don't use extending. Use composition:
class Test1 {
private var __mc:MovieClip;
public function Test1(mc:MovieClip){
this.__mc= mc
}
public function get _xscale ():Number {
return this.__mc._xscale;
}
. etc

RE: [Flashcoders] Override _xscale and _yscale setter in AS2
See I have a component which sets some movieClips _xscale and _yscale. It works fine with MovieClip that contain vector graphics because they scale nicely. But with bitmap Graphics, scaling looks bad. So I wanted to extend the movieClip class and override the _xscale and _yscale setters so that instead of having the actual clip scale, a smooth bimapData would be drawn at the new scale.

No I've tried that but it doesn't work unfortunately, I've also
overridden the enabled setter before but the _xscale and _yscale setters
seem to be different from the enabled setter.
What I want to do is not scale the movieClip at all and scale redraw a
bitmapData inside of it.
