yeah, there's a few little things like that that I'll need to look out for.
 On top of that, I will be dragging rotated objects..yay.

[Flashcoders] snap to guide AS code?

[Rich Rodecker]

I'm looking for some code that can pull of 'snap to guide' in actionscript.
 I've found some snap to grid code, but all of them are in AS2, so I'm
wondering if there might be a better way to do it in AS 3 as well?

Re: [Flashcoders] Why is amfphp cool?

[Rich Rodecker]

Just a few off the top of my head:

   - Speed - you're usually sending much less data back and forth with AMF
   then with xml (amf is the data format for flash remoting), so loading times
   are sometimes drastically reduced.
   - Ease of use - you can work with objects in your native languages (such
   as actionscript and php) without having to convert to a middle-man format
   just to transfer the data, which requires serializing and unserializing on
   both ends. (well, technically this does happen but it's a transparent
   process which is taken care of for you).

You should definitely give it a try to get a feel for it.  It's probably
overkill for something like an email form, but for things like a
photogallery application, or wherever you're sending a decent amount of data
back and forth, it would be a good fit.

[Flashcoders] custom map image geocoding service?

[Rich Rodecker]

I'm building a flash app which requires some mapping functionality.  It's
relatively simple, so I'm not sure that it needs all the bells and whistles
that come with using google's or yahoo's map services. Basically we have a
static U.S./Canada map image (no pan or zoom) that has some interactive
markers overlaid on it...pretty much a heatmap I guess.  We're already set
up with receiving the latitude and longitude coordinates, now i just need to
translate that into x,y positions on the map.  I know there are services out
there that handle this, but I've been searching for a while and most of the
results reference back to google or yahoo maps, so I'm thinking I'm not
suing the right search terms.  Does anyone know where I can get this

[Flashcoders] Flash CS3: CellRenderers in loaded swfs don't work if the parent swf exports a cellrenderer?

[Rich Rodecker]

I have a situation where I have a swf, let's call it child.swf, contains a
List component which makes use of a custom cell renderer,
CustomCellRenderer, which extends CellRenderer.  On it's own, everything
works fine.
My problem is trying to load it into Main.swf, which also has a List in it's
library, and thus the CellRenderer and CellRendererSkins component assets
exported with it.  When i load child.swf into Main.swf, it finds the
CustomCellRenderer class fine, but that class is throwing errors saying that
the assets which are supposed to be on stage are not found, which sounds
like it can no longer pull the library symbol for CustomCellRenderer.  I
have custom skins for the scrollbar in the List though that work fine.

I have narrowed it down to the CellRenderer symbol being exported in
Main.swf.  Right now, I am setting LoaderContext.applicationDomain =
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain for the Loader which is loading child.swf,
but I've tried every combo of application/security domain and it's still a
no go.

It does work if I export the CustomCellRenderer symbol in Main.swf's
library, but that is not ideal.

Any ideas?

i wound up just making a BaseScrollArrow class and putting all of the logic
in that.  Then i created a subclass for each state that just sets parameters
to help decide how to draw the skins.

[Flashcoders] flash cs3 - getting button's current mouseState?

[Rich Rodecker]

Hello,
I'm creating some UIScrollbar  skins, and i'm trying to find a way to have
one skin for the up/down arrows, and just draw them differently depending on
which mouse state they represent.  I know that the states are just the
backgrounds of a BaseButton, and BaseButton has a 'mouseState' property
that's perfect for my needs, but it's protected and you can't access it from
the skin itself.  I was trying to avoid subclassing BaseButton and hacking
together a new version of the scrollbar for this, but it seems that's really
the only way to get what I want to do done.  Anyone know anything different?

Thanks,

Rich

[Flashcoders] getting point size of text field within a scaled movieclip

[Rich Rodecker]

Anyone have any idea on how to get the actual point size of a
textfield within a movieclip that has been scaled?

Example:  my_txt is insidec textFieldHolder_mc, with a point size of
12pt.  textFieldHolder_mc is scaled to 300%.  How would i figure out
the actual new point size inside the text field?  Flash obviously will
still tell me that it is 12pt.

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help with testing ObjectSwap on Safari

[Rich Rodecker]

yeah i see the tree fine, safari 2.0.4 and flash player 9.  i'm not
sure if sitechecks go over too well on the list though ;)

Hi List,

I'm having a bit of a problem with my ObjectSwap script, that I'm hoping
someone could help me with.
It was developed on Windows and, according to comments on my blog and the
SitePoint article, it was working fine with Safari. However, I recently
tried it on a client's Mac and it didn't seem to be working properly (That
is, the Flash part of my home page was invisible). Apparently my own Mac,
which I rarely switch on, is so old it can't even install Safari (OSX 10.1).


So, my request is, if anyone with a Mac has a moment to spare to have a look
at my home page (www.neo-archaic.net) and tell me if the flash part of it
displays correctly - that is, if you can see the tree animation. I need to
figure this out before I start running around trying to find an available
Mac...

TIA,
Karina

Re: [Flashcoders] What is better mx.transitions.Tween or mx.effects.Tween ?

[Rich Rodecker]

yep, you're right.  As far as I can tell, mx.transitions.Tween has
event handlers that mx.effects.Tween doesn't implement:

onMotionFinished
onMotionLooped
onMotionChanged
onMotionStarted
onMotionStopped
onMotionResumed

mx.effects.Tween seems like it just has event handlers for
onTweenUpdate and onTweenEnd.  It's weird, I expected them to be
almost the same but by checking it out the code they're actually
pretty different, though they both look like they use some sort of
pennr-style tweening formula.

between mx.transitions.tween and mx.effects.tween. I don't know as I don't
use them (never used btw).

Re: [Flashcoders] ActionScript switch/default syntax and interpretation

Yea, the last break is unecessary, but I think it's a good idea to put

That last break is actually unnecessary. The breaks are only to keep
it from going to the next case. In some (pretty rare) cases, you may
not even want to do that, e.g.:

switch(a) {
case 0:
   // Does this if a == 0
  break;
case 1 :
   // Does this if a == 1.
case 2 :
   // Does this if a == 1 or a == 2.
default :
  // Does this if a is anything but 0.
}

City to city cost of living calculations/comparisons usually take an average
and include all of those kinds of assumptions in them. Not that they are
perfect (nothing could be), but they do consider those issues.

Re: [Flashcoders] Good External Actionscript Editor for Mac?

heh, yeah i just use 'pc' because it's easier to type, and the meaning

maybe once I pick up an intel mac, i could check it out with
parallels or something.

Sorry to go a little off-topic for this thread, but what about Textmate
vs. Flashdevelop on Windows ("pc" - that term is a bit oldskool IMO) ?
For free editors, I haven't found one better than Flashdevelop.  I used
Sepy, Eclipse and SciTe Flash previously and have found not much beats
FlashDevelop for Actionscript coding.  Although, FlashDevelop has it's
own problems - ease of changing user preferences is one thing that comes
to mind.  But the code completion, even for your own custom classes,
rocks.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Good External Actionscript Editor for Mac?

[Rich Rodecker]

there are a few ways to do it.  you won't get the 'intellisense'
autocompletion like how it is in the flash IDE (with the dropdown that
pops up), but you can:

1. Hit the escape key when you are typing.  This automcpletes the word
based  on mathes it finds in the document, based on distance from the
cursor: http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/working_with_text#completion

2. use tab triggers to insert snippets into your code.  a snippet is a
bit of text you want to insert into the document.  a tab trigger just
means that that you can assign a keystroke plus hit the tab key and
the snippet will be inserted.  For instance, I have it set up so i
type 'getset'->tab, and a private var with it's getter/setter methods
will appear.  The coolest hing about snippets is that you can tab
through them after the appear, so you can jump right to the spot where
you want to type just by hitting tab again, and use mirroring if you
need to type the same thing more than once in a snippet.

[Flashcoders] polymorphism, with singletons

[Rich Rodecker]

What's a good way to go about hanlding a situation where you need
polymorphism, yet would still like be able to access that object via
getInstance()?

I have a Model class that has two subclasses...XMLModel and URLModel. I'd
like to be able to access either of those classes via getInstance(), but I
won't know which one will be loaded until runtime.

A winky emoticon denotes sarcasm or a joke.




right, i got that part, which is why you got a smiley in return.  a smiley
indicates a good vibe.

the reasoning for making Object the return type for pop() is obvious...but i
se what you mean by your example.


On 11/16/06, Steven Sacks | BLITZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'm glad that somebody was able to locate your problem, though.  I
figured somewhere you were using a loosely typed variable so the
compiler wasn't complaining.

Here's a fun one.

someFileName:String = "something.swf";
extension:String = someFileName.split(".").pop();

This generates a compiler error.  The compiler doesn't know that the
type is String because the intrinsic class Array specifies Object as the
return type of pop().

The solution:

someFileName:String = "something.swf";
extension:String = String(someFileName.split(".").pop());

The lesson here is that if you don't get compiler errors with strict
typing, you're either using bracket access to dynamically set variables
in which case the compiler can't know, or you loose typed something
elsewhere.

Of course, all of this goes away when you start using AS3/VM2 which
generates errors for type mismatching which can be handled using things
like try catch finally, etc.

AS2 strict typing is a lie anyway.  It has zero effect at runtime
because AS2 code just gets compiled to AS1.  If you wanted to set a
strict typed variable at runtime to a different type you could do so.
If you are trying to get ready for AS3, try writing this code in AS3 and
stop trying to force AS2 to be like AS3.  It's not.  The AS2 compiler is
just the actor playing the soup nazi on Seinfeld. The AS3 compiler is
actually the soup nazi.  NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Sometimes _global gets the job done and that's what's most important.

You didn't set the type of settingsBranch to XMLNode, so any further

type information. Was this line present in your last try?

Re: [Flashcoders] why are my class property's strong typing being ignored?

[Rich Rodecker]

In AS2 there is a compile-time type-checking only, the Flash VM itself
doesn't care about type settings



here's what I'm thinking: the complier should know that the return value
from xmlnode.nodeValue  == string (even though the xml wouldnt be loaded
until runtime), and therefore throw an error if I try and assign it to
apoperty typed as a number.

You don't have compiler errors because you're assigning values to your

singleton by using the square brackets [ ] method. By doing this, at
compile
time the compiler doesn't know which property you're trying to modify



that's a good point.  I actually just did that to tidy up the code a little
bit, but that's not the issue.  Here's a clearer example of what I mean:

// this produces compiler error because settings_id is typed to Number
settings.settings_id = 'someString';

// this does not produce an error
settings.settings_id = settingsBranch.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

//outputs 'string'
trace(typeof settings.settings_id)

or you can

modify your Settings class and make your xml processing aware of Settings'
property types



yeah that seems like the long way around...I don't have control over the xml
output so I can't just convert the xml to JSON, so I might not have a choice
though.

Hi,
another option for typed data is the serializer from the xflas2 package.
It serializes/deserializes classes as well.

Or example imagine you not only have strings and numbers in your xml but a
type MyClass as well.
After deserializing it, you immediately calls methods on your object.

The reason I love that, is because instead of manually translating a model
to xml and back, i simply say Serializer.serialize (myModel) and when i
get
back to it, i deserialize it, and its immediately available to add
listeners
to for example.

Still in alpha though:)

Re: [Flashcoders] why are my class property's strong typing being ignored?

[Rich Rodecker]

julien:

sure here's a sample:

class com.mysite.model.Settings {

   private static var instance = null;

   public var custom_color_3:String;
   public var background_image:Boolean;
   public var background_type:String;
   public var background_alpha:Number;
   public var title_mode:String;

   //rest of class
}

Here is the function where I parse the xml into the properties above, pretty
simple:

   function parseSettings(){

   var settingsBranch = app_xml.firstChild.firstChild;
   var c = settingsBranch.childNodes;

   var num = settingsBranch.childNodes.length;

   var nextBranch:XMLNode = settingsBranch.childNodes[0];

   while(nextBranch){
   var tagName = nextBranch.nodeName;
   settings[tagName] = nextBranch.firstChild.nodeValue;
   nextBranch = nextBranch.nextSibling;
   }

   }


and here is what the xml looks like:
   
   #FF
   1
   jpg
   100
   PROFILE
   



eka:  - yeah, i know xml is only a string..my problem is that i am assigning
a string to properties that are clearly typed as something other than a
string, yet flash isnt complaining.

"deserialize" functions.

For me it's better to use JSON for example : http://www.json.org/ (you
keep
the primitive types of your objects with the serialize/deserialize)

You can try to use my openSource framework "VEGAS" who implement JSON and
EDEN (the best solution to text format datas)

Install VEGAS : http://vegas.riaforge.org/ (use the SVN or the zip link in
this page to download my framework)

Test the JSON examples in VEGAS in the vegas.string package :
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/vegas/string/

Test the Eden examples (Burrrn library used in VEGAS) :
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/buRRRn/eden/

Test JSON and Eden extension in ASGard (extension of VEGAS) :
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/net/ (JSONLoader,
EdenLoader)

Test my example of Config pattern and localization pattern in
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/config/ (and
bin/test/system)

For me ... XML is slow and don't keep the typing  !

EKA+ :)

[Flashcoders] why are my class property's strong typing being ignored?

[Rich Rodecker]

Hello,

I've got a class named 'Settings' which has a number of properties.  Those
properties are strongly typed to various types...string, number, boolean,
etc.

I'm loading in xml in a separate Model class, and then parsing the xml and
assigning the that various values in the xml to the properties of the
Settings class.  However, all the values are being set as a string (that
part I expected since I am assigning the  values of text nodes, which of
course are strings, in the xml to the Setting's properties)...and I'm not
getting any parse errors when I try and assign a string to a property that
is strongly typed as a number, or boolean.

I figure since I am trying to use myBranch.firstChild.nodeValue that flash,
at compile time, can see I am trying to set a string to a property typed as
a Number, so what's going on?

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple Flash player detection without versioning?

[Rich Rodecker]

if they dont have flash player, then they won't have the required version
number anyway, so wouldn't the version detection scripts still work?



On 11/9/06, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


Might be a dumb and simple answer, but is there any way to simply detect
the presence of the Flash player in IE WITHOUT also checking for a
specific version number (IE detection only is required, not other
browsers)? The Javascript detection scripts I've seen always check for
say Flash 7 or 8, but not for just Flash.

Reason is: In our case, all of our user base either has the Flash player
installed of a specific common version enterprise wide, or not at all.
I'd like a script that does not check for versions, or multiple
versions, so we don't have to update the detection script when the
enterprise pushes out a new player version to the user base.  Our
detection scripts in HTML files get pushed out and copied several times
over to different web sites, so I don't want to have to update all of
those later when new version of Flash get pushed out.

It's probably quite simple with Javascript, I just don't have much time
to research it today. Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Framework ARP vs PixLib

[Rich Rodecker]

ihavent tried pixlib yet, but as for ARP, you'll get more "mvc" with a few
extensions to the original arp package.  There a few different versions of a
ModelLocator out there (the official ARP release doesn't have a model
implementation -- the commands queried a view for information to be passed
to the server, then returned some information back to the view), and there's
also the extensions found here:

pixlib isn't targeted on games devt for a while, maybe till the beginning.
It's got an architectural framework inside too (mvc, frontcontroller,

Re: [Flashcoders] doLater not working

[Rich Rodecker]

i think it might be a case that the component is not yet intialized when you
are assigning the doLaterso you might need to wait a frame for the
component to initialize.  you can also just do an onEnterFrame that runs
just once:

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
   this.displayCorrectFrame();
   delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

You have to be attentive about the fact that flash execute the code from
the
upper layer to the lower layer. So if your _root.panelBG.sp.doLater(_root,

one where is created your scrollPlane, this last one doesn't exist when
the
function is called... Try to write tour _root.panelBG.sp.doLater(_root,

Hi list...

I have a line of code on frame 1 of the _root:

...where sp is a scrollPane component inited in the panelBG mc.

My doLater function is also on frame 1 of the _root, but it never gets

it's all only on frame 1 of the _root timeline.

oh man...

mProject does rock.  Well, at least it did like about a year and a half ago,
thats the last time I used it.  cant vouch for any of the other ones.

modified for a company you worked for - a company who's owner was a

believe
also, that that version was left "buggy" BECAUSE of the non-payments and
therefore, was never completed/fixed/updated/made right.

Edwin/team have taken it from there to the mac platform.  Haxe/Neko make

creating a SWHX app is cake and updating the SWHX engine/files to the
latest
releases is a commandline away - it's so easy, a caveman could do it.

In fact, I've been running Xray with it for the past 3 weeks and it's run
wonderfully and has been a beauty to maintain/update.

Also, Edwin/Nicolas are very responsive - any time a feature is asked for

Re: [Flashcoders] Has anyone had any experience with Bit Components?

[Rich Rodecker]

for skinnability, they are great.  there are some wierd issues you'll
encounter here and there, I would check over the products forums for some
examples. One such example is that I dont think you can change the animation
of the accordion pane.  The documentation is decent enough, I don't have any
issues with it.

On 10/2/06, Rudi Yardley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


I'm looking to build a media delivery application and am looking for
some basic ultra skinnable lightweight components to use for it. I have
been looking around a bit and was wondering if anyone has had experience
with Bit Components and if so how have they found their implementation?
Basically I am looking for something that can replace v2 components and
be skinned at run time (ie click a button and you have a red component
set, click another for a blue component set etc). I am hoping these
components are shipped as compiled components with source code for
extensibility. I am also hoping there is some decent documentation
available for them. It has also crossed my mind that I may need to add
animation to some of the components that fail to animate such as the
accordion.

Any thoughts?

Re: [Flashcoders] Disabling Nested MCs?

[Rich Rodecker]

just add the map._visible = false part to after the tween ends.  If you're
using the built in Tween class there is an onMotionFinished event handler
you can use on the tween, and pretty much most of the other tweening engines
have something comparable.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:LoadVars send WITHOUT refreshing the browser

[Rich Rodecker]

don't worry, that's not an unusual request, that's pretty much always been a
feature of flash.  Like muzak said, use sendAndLoad().  You don't absolutely
have to catch any return values from the server if you don't want to, but
most people would at least like to check to make sure that everything went
ok.

On 9/26/06, Muzak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


Tried the docs?


A successful send() method call will always open a new browser window or
replace content in an existing window or frame. If you
would rather send information to a server and continue playing your SWF
file without opening a new window or replacing content in a
window or frame, then you should use LoadVars.sendAndLoad().

[Flashcoders] combobox label not displaying any text

[Rich Rodecker]

I have a combobox that I am using in a CellRenderer for a datagrid.  For
some reason the text for the selected item in the comboobox wont display.
If i trace out the value of the text, it shows the right value, so I know
its being set. I am setting embedFonts to true for the TextInput and
ComboBox components in the _global styles.

anyone have any ideas as to why the selected text isnt displaying?

Setting wmode as transparent causes a major performance hit on all
browsers on all computers especially Macs and Firefox.  Avoid it like
the plague on anything where frame rate and script performance is
important.

Re: [Flashcoders] Close/exit browser AS event?

I use the javascript method, except i use the swfobject/javascript
integration kit...works fine for me.

Re: [Flashcoders] Calling Actionscript from PHP

[Rich Rodecker]

I think we can probably help you o ut better if we had a better idea of what
you were trying to accomplish.  As prviously stated, actionscript is always
going to execute inside, when you are dealing with the flash player.
Sockets can be one way of dealing with the issue, but it may be
overkill...for instance, do you need to fire this function just once as the
page initially loads, or at any random time?

Anything executed within Flash is client-side.  If you're talking about
avoiding calling a Flash function via JavaScript, then there are ways to
do
so, but yes, you would need something that is constantly connected to the
Flash client, such as FMS or an XMLSocket server.  That is the only way
that
I know of to achieve server "push," which is what you apparently want.
Something you might consider is having Flash hit a PHP url every n seconds
and check for an updated variable that would be set when the AJAX call
hits
the server.  If the variable has changed, PHP can notify Flash and Flash
can
update itself accordingly.

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

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: inline images in a textarea

[Rich Rodecker]

thanks...its not the text thats going to the next line though...the text is
all appearing on one line, but the image is appearing on the next.

so for instance when the image is supposed to be in the middle of the line
of text:

hey there http://www.thewhole9.com/chat/smilies/smile.jpg";
width="19" height="19" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0" /> hows it going?

is turning into this (visually anyway, the html is still correct in the
textarea):
hey there hows it going?
http://www.thewhole9.com/chat/smilies/smile.jpg"; width="19"
height="19" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0" />

does that make sense?  thee image is appearing on the next line, after the
line of text when it should be right in the middle.

Re: [Flashcoders] Using TransitionManager..?

[Rich Rodecker]

hmmm...i use the transition manager frequently, never really had a problem
with it, bit ive never tried using it with the bitmap filters.  It's
probably just a misprint in the email, but you for your first doTrans() call
you dont have the mc's name in there right.



On 9/7/06, slangeberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


Anyone using Flash's built-in TransitionManager?

I'm losing the transitions if I apply Bitmap filters (through the IDE) to
a
movieclip on the stage, which use the following code:

import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

doTrans( Iris, Transition.OUT, _mc );
doTrans( Wipe, Transition.IN, flv_mc );

function doTrans( type:Function, dir:Number, target:MovieClip ) {
if ( type == Iris ) {
TransitionManager.start( target, {type:Iris, direction:dir,
duration:5, easing:Bounce.easeOut, startPoint:5, shape:Iris.CIRCLE} );
} else if ( type == Wipe ) {
TransitionManager.start( target, {type:Wipe, direction:dir,
duration:2, easing:None.easeNone, startPoint:1});
}
}

Anyone use a different package to accomplish the same thing, that is a bit
more reliable?

Re: [Flashcoders] File upload : getting Flash to know the new name

[Rich Rodecker]

as far as I've seen there's no way to return any values from a file upload.
There was something I saw where you could return different HTTP header codes
back to flash to get some sort of control over what was sent back, but even
that still wouldnt send back any data.

jeroen's suggestion might work, or if you have a lot of data maybe you can
even save a text file to the server and read that in after the onComplete.

Yeah... I see where you're going with that... Can also read the value

i think thats true.  the exam is way too easy i think, and youonly need a 75

I'm certified, and many didnt even know there was a certification.

with each version of flash, and I think it would be better to show that your
certification is up to date. For instance, if you took the Flash MX exam,
you could score 100% and not know a thing about Actionscript 2.  And if
you're just worried about the year, dont worry, you can just say you're a
Certified Flash Developer.

Propably I´d rather take the exam in Flash MX than MX 04, just because MX
does not have a year in it ;)
It´s the same with Windows: Everyone would agree that Windows 2000 is
"old".
But would you call Windows XP "old"?
Propably not, until I tell you that it was released in 2001 ;)

I got the preparation book today and took the online test. 60% correct
without even looking into it isn´t too bad I think.
I probably take the test anyway, looks good in the CV at least ;)

I passed the test a year ago, at the time when Flash 8 was just
released, and it seemed strange alreade at that time
to study outdated concepts(primarely related to AS1 ) ... But most of
the basic stuff is the same for both products.

Most of your clients, or students if you teach Flash, won't be able to
tell the difference between the versions (MX2004, 8) , but some of them
will probably be
interested in the fact that you have the highest level of certification
for the product (Flash) before they consider hiring you.

I think Adobe should get a grip on the certification and training
situation for Flash. I personally really like AS3 and I can't understand
why Adobe (formerly MM) never have tried to design courses targeted to
real professionals, including real OOP, since that makes
developing Flash so much easiser, and is what everybody is into. This
should also be reflected in the courses they provide to prepare
for the exam, and the exam itself.

Re: [Flashcoders] tweening multiple properties simultaneously

[Rich Rodecker]

there is a class out there called TweenExtended...it works exaclty the same
way as the Tween class, excpet you pass in arrays for the properties you
want to tween, and their corresponding starts/finish values.

On 8/1/06, Matthew Ganz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


hi.

i'm using the tween class to move a map movie clip's x and y properties.
so whichever state the user clicks on my US map movieClip, it gets centered
on the stage.  it works great like this:

public function expand(activeState:MovieClip)
{
  var nX:Number = (Stage.width/2) - activeState._xmouse;
  var nY:Number = (Stage.height/2) - activeState._ymouse;

  // move it to the center of the stage.
  new Tween( activeState, "_x", Strong.easeOut, activeState._x, nX, 2,
true );
  new Tween( activeState, "_y", Strong.easeOut, activeState._y, nY, 2,
true );
}

the problem comes when i introduce two new tweens to scale the map as
well. the result is that the x and y don't appear to move but the scale
tween does work.

public function expand(activeState:MovieClip)
{
  var nX:Number = (Stage.width/2) - activeState._xmouse;
  var nY:Number = (Stage.height/2) - activeState._ymouse;

  // move it to the center of the stage.
  new Tween( activeState, "_x", Strong.easeOut, activeState._x, nX, 2,
true );
  new Tween( activeState, "_y", Strong.easeOut, activeState._y, nY, 2,
true );

  // zoom into the map
  new Tween( activeState, "_xscale", Regular.easeOut, activeState._xscale,
500, 2, true );
  new Tween( activeState, "_yscale", Regular.easeOut, activeState._yscale,
500, 2, true );
}

are there problems tweening multiple properties at once? has anyone
experienced this before?

thank you. -- matt.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mac IDE for AS !

[Rich Rodecker]

I use TextMate.  I'd say it's the best text editor out there for mac.  The
built in actionscript bundle (sorta like a plugin) comes with some cool
features, like command-enter for testing the movie in flash.  it's also very
extensible and easy to add functionality to a bundle...I've seen people use
it to compile with mtasc and things like that.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Project feedback, anyone?

[Rich Rodecker]

as someone that has experienced the pain of taking on jobs that other
developers abandonded and having to work with what they left, I would
absolutely not have a problem with what you left...i may not agree
with how you've done everything, but there is nothing there to say
that this code is unusable.  it's even commented so i dont have to
spend time trying to figure out what you were thinking.  I could post
some serious junk that ive inherited that you could compare that to
and you'd see a clear difference as to whats workable and whats not.

defintely agree with everything ryan said...I have a feeling either
these guys are scammers, which i have had the pleasure of working
with, or as stated above someone who is not an AS programmer looked at
the code, and saw "class", "public", "private" and "static" and
crapped their pants.

i'd say you definitely want to do what you can do to makee things work
out with the client, as long as they are being reasonable...after all,
you need to do what you can do to protect your reputation.  but if
they are being unreasonable, cut your losses, and move on.

I played with it, it seems to do what it is intended to do, so as long
as what it does is what was defined in the spec, I don't see any problems.
Being too complicated for their other Flash guy is not your problem, unless
it was specifically mentioned in the specs that it should be done on the
timeline so that their guy can take over.

In my opinion, and I do enough freelance work to have experienced this a
time or two myself, you need to invoice them and tell them that if they want
further changes that it's a new project and will require a new quote. Tell
them you can only make it do the things they want if thery can tell you what
those things are, and you need to know *before* you start working on it in
order to be able to deliver it on time and within the budget. Make them
define "not usable" for you, and break it down to process flows that don't
work.

There is nothing wrong with the code that I could see. You delivered a
product, and you should get paid on it before you do anything else with that
client, IMO. If you value the client more than the cost of this one job,
then you might want to do some additional work to make them happy, but keep
in mind that once you set the precedent that you'll go above and beyond what
you were paid for, they will expect it in the future.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Remoting Inquiry

[Rich Rodecker]

is it a scoping issue? maybe trying delegating the click to a function
in the same scope as the service...

sendMessage.click = Delegate.create(this, onButtonClick)

function onButtonClick() {
   pc = smsFlashRemoting.SendMessage(siteID, LicenseKey);
   pc.responder = new RelayResponder(this, 'SendMessage_Result',
'SendMessage_Fault');

I am having an issue with flash remoting and would like to understand
what is going on so I can resolve this issue. The code below works
with the proper results.

import mx.remoting.Service;
import mx.remoting.PendingCall;
import mx.remoting.RecordSet;
import mx.remoting.debug.*;
import mx.rpc.*;
import mx.services.Log;
import mx.controls.Alert;

var siteID:String = "1000";
var gatewayServer:String = "messagegateway.localhost";
var LicenseKey:String = "7A14A28C";
var pc:PendingCall;

var smsFlashRemoting:Service = new Service("http://"; + gatewayServer +
"/flashservices/gateway", webServiceLog,
"properties.cfc.SMSMessageGateway", null, null);
pc = smsFlashRemoting.SendMessage(siteID, LicenseKey);
pc.responder = new RelayResponder(this, 'SendMessage_Result',
'SendMessage_Fault');

function SendMessage_Result(re:ResultEvent):Void {
trace("Received Result from sendMessage_Result: " + re.result);
}

function SendMessage_Fault(fe:FaultEvent):Void {
trace("Received Error from sendMessage_Fault: " +
fe.fault.faultstring);
}

As mentioned above this code works as I get the trace statement in the
output window which is what I would expect. Now for the code which
follows I will not get the trace statement from the _result function
and the only thing that I have done is put a button on a stage to have
the user click this button to run the same Remoting Call. Below is my
code:

import mx.remoting.Service; // Import the Service Class
import mx.remoting.PendingCall; // Import the PendingCall Class
import mx.remoting.RecordSet; // Import the RecordSet Class
import mx.remoting.debug.*; // Import the Remoting Debug Class
import mx.rpc.*; // Import all of the RPC Service Classes
import mx.services.Log;
import mx.controls.Alert;

var siteID:String = "1000";
var gatewayServer:String = "messagegateway.localhost";
var LicenseKey:String = "7A14A28C";
var pc:PendingCall;

var sendMessage = new Object();
var ccObjectListener = new Object();
var webServiceLog = new Log(Log.VERBOSE);
sendMessage_btn.addEventListener("click", sendMessage);

var smsFlashRemoting:Service = new Service("http://"; + gatewayServer +
"/flashservices/gateway", webServiceLog,
"properties.cfc.SMSMessageGateway", null, null);

sendMessage.click = function() {
pc = smsFlashRemoting.SendMessage(siteID, LicenseKey);
pc.responder = new RelayResponder(this, 'SendMessage_Result',
'SendMessage_Fault');

function SendMessage_Result(re:ResultEvent):Void {
trace("Received Result from sendMessage_Result: " + re.result);
}

function SendMessage_Fault(fe:FaultEvent):Void {
trace("Received Error from sendMessage_Fault: " +
fe.fault.faultstring);
}

}

The code with the button on the screen will never put the trace line
in the debug window. I have tried putting the fucntions for the
_Result and _Fault inside of the click function and also on the
outside. Everything that I have tried will reproduce the same results
without the trace being displayed in the output window.

Any Suggestions.

[Flashcoders] problems selecting the first item in a combobox

[Rich Rodecker]

im sure this issue has been covered somewhere before, but ive done a
lot of searching and didnt come up with anything.

i am using a recordset to populate a combobox (using
DataGlue.bindFormatStrings...but i dont think this problem has
anything to do with remoting).  The first item in the recordset is the
first option displayed in teh combobox...but you cant select that
option. Well, you can select it, but it wont fire a change event, so
you need to select something else first, then go back and select the
first option.

i tried listening for the 'open' event from the combobox, then setting
its selectedIndex to null, but that doesnt work.

i would up setting up these listener methods, but it seems like a long
workaround:

/**
stores the currently selected index of the opening combobox
we store it and compare it to the selectedIndex when the 
combobox closes,
so that we can disptach a changed event even someone selects 
the same item
*/
function onCBOpen(evtObj:Object){
prevIndex = null;
prevIndex = evtObj.target.selectedIndex;
trace('prevIndex = '+prevIndex)

}
/**
check if someone selected the same item as was previously 
selected,
if it is manually dispatch an event
*/
function onCBClose(evtObj:Object){
if(prevIndex == evtObj.target.selectedIndex){
evtObj.target.dispatchEvent({type:'change', 
target:evtObj.target});
}
}


anyone have a better solution?

How often do you use 'watch' in your applications?.

It seems pretty powerful to me, and I've only just discovered it.

Any thoughts on this.

Cheers,

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] ServiceCapture or Charles?

[Rich Rodecker]

ive used both, and although i like the way service capture does its
thing, i prefer charles.

i've actually had to communicate with both of the developers for
issues with the app (actually both reagrding parsing of the amf
data)...the were both responsive, with the charles guy coming out a
little ahead for me...he had new beta's of the app ready to go within
a day usually.

also, i did run into a similar issue as above with service capture
with having to go into the network settings (im on os x) and having to
go in and manually turn off the web proxy.

Service Capture has a 15 day trial, so I would start with that.

I use Service Capture because it does a great job with Flash Remoting traffic. 
It lets you drill into the nested data, even displaying things correctly if 
there duplicate references to the same object. It tells you the data and data 
types, and is generally pretty usable.

With VERY large Remoting messages it slows way down when trying to display the 
message, and basically locks up. I am usually able to reduce the message size 
to find the bug I'm after. I doubt this would be an issue for many people... I 
have big messages with lots of cross references.

One watchout: Service Capture acts as an HTTP proxy. On startup and shutdown, 
it configures MSIE's proxy settings. This generally works well. But if Service 
Capture is shutdown prematurely, it will leave MSIE with bad proxy settings. It 
will appear that 'the internet is broken' ;) You need to restart Service 
Capture or reset the proxy settings in MSIE to fix this. This is something to 
keep in mind if using a local proxy server.

some time, and now I can�t live without a HTTP

the time to experiment with it. I�m seriously thinking about buying a
license of one of them, but before, I would love to know your opinions on
what would be the best cost/benefict?

Cheers,

Marcelo.

Re: [Flashcoders] MX 2004 Developer Exam Actionscript versions

[Rich Rodecker]

you could still use Object.register class if you were using Flash
Remoting, and wanted to tie data you are receiving to a particular
class.

I note that the sample questions provided by Macromedia for the MX 2004 
Developer exam 
(http://www.adobe.com/support/training/certified_professional_program/flmx2004_developer.html)
 includes a question about Object.registerClass.

Since I changed over to AS2 I haven't found any need to use 
Object.registerClass, and I am apt to regard it as a redundant relic of AS1. 
Does its inclusion in the exam imply there is still a siginificant amount of 
AS1 stuff in the exam? Or is there a still a legitimate need for 
Object.registerClass in AS2?

And does anyone know if a Flash 8 Developer Exam can be expected in the near 
future?

wow, those drumbeat ones look prety nice, good job.

as up to date as one month ago, with version 3, and you can purchase the

Re: [Flashcoders] Fjax... does this seem ridiculous to anyone else?

[Rich Rodecker]

ridiculous?  not really, i think its kind of slick, the idea to use
flash as your xml parser rather than the browser.

Overblown?  defintely.  i think i can actually hear those guys
stroking themselves from here.

Of course I am not an ajax programmer, but if its as hard as they say, and
if it makes it easier for ajax programmers to code then why not?
