[Flashcoders] Flash CS5 iPhone development question
Hi, Have'nt seem much discussion on this subject yet. I am starting to experiment with the iPhone packager and had few questions. Any idea how to store data locally? For example Game Levels or Application data etc.? Can Flash CS5 make use of SqLite database? Any tutorials available? Thanks and I will keep posting my experiment results here. So far, it seems to work smoothly. I am going to try more intensive apps to explore the limits. -Sajid ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] getChildByName problem
Ok, As a quick workaround, I removed the nesting of movieclips and put them all in first frame. I made them all hidden (alpha=0) and then show them as needed. This works but its not the idea way for me :( I will still be looking for a good solution to this one.

[Flashcoders] addChild and Array problem
Hi, Not sure if this is what is causing my problem. I have an array called __viewsArray Then I created 3 new movieclips which I added to the Array. Like this: __viewsArray = new Array(); __view1MC = new MovieClip(); __view2MC = new MovieClip(); __view3MC = new MovieClip(); addChild(__view1MC); addChild(__view2MC); addChild(__view3MC); __viewsArray.push(__view1MC); __viewsArray.push(__view2MC); __viewsArray.push(__view3MC); Now, I create new instances of Loader and add them to the three viewMC's. . myLoader = new Loader(); myLoader.name = MC; myLoader.load(fileRequest); ... // I am removing the code of the loader listener, but u can be sure that I am checking for the load event to complete here... ... __viewsArray[i].addChild(myLoader); . So far so good. When I loop through the __viewsArray, I can do the : __viewsArray[j].getChildByName(MC); no errors. Now, I decide to shuffle the array. So I did: var tempArray = __viewsArray.pop(); __viewsArray.unshift(tempArray); Now when I loop through the array, I get a null object reference. Is it because I am shuffling the array or is it due to something else? Cant figure this one out :( Thanks for any help. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] getChildByName problem
Hi, I dont know what am I doing wrong here. I have a library item linked to a class. The class creates the instance of the symbol. Then I addChild The symbol has three keyframes on the timeline (by default stopping at first frame). Each frame has different movieclips. INside these movieclips, there are some more movieclips. So lets assume this is the structure of my library symbol: canvas (library item name) | (frame-1) canvasOne (instance name) ||-- mc1 (instance name) ||-- mc2 (instance name) ||-- mc3 (instance name) | (frame-2) canvasTwo (instance name) ||-- mc1 (instance name) ||-- mc2 (instance name) | (frame-3) canvasThree (instance name) |-- mc1 (instance name) |-- mc2 (instance name) |-- mc3 (instance name) Now, when I call the following from within my class, it works: /* code */ this.canvas.gotoAndStop(2); but the next line fails / this.canvas.canvasTwo.getInstanceByName(mc1); Any Idea?

Ok, Here is a bit more information.

Hi,
I have following Class structure:
ClassA extends ClassC
ClassB extends ClassC
ClassC extends ClassD
ClassD extends MovieClip
Now,
If I instantiate ClassB from ClassA, the constructor does not execute.
note: Inside ClassB, I am instantiating another ClassE which extends
MovieClip
Is there something I am doing wrong?

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem understanding Class heirarchy issue
yes, someFunction is getting called.
If I change ClassB to:
public class ClassB extends MovieClip
or
public class ClassB extends Sprite
Then the constructor gets called.
I still have to try super() as suggested by Steven (I am at home now
so dont have the code with me)
So Steven,
Do youmean that I just add super() in the first line of ClassA constructor?

Is someFunction getting called in the scope that you expect?
May need to use:
addEventListener(ClassC.moveUP, Delegate.create(this, someFunction);
to get someFunciton to run in the scope that you expect.

You're not calling super() in the ClassA constructor.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem understanding Class heirarchy issue
Hi,
Thanks all of you for adding your valuable inputs, I am reviewing all
suggestions.
Meanwhile, I would like to say that, I am not writing anything in my FLA.
(I guess thats the best practice, is it correct?)
So, ONlything I do in the FLA is declare ClassA as my document root class.
Could that be the problem?
Also the trace in my someFunction is getting called.
Then immediately after the trace, I have the code to instantiate ClassB.
The trace immediately after this instantiation does not appear.

public class MyGesture extends MovieClip
{
public function MyGesture(){
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reportClick);
}
function reportClick(e:Event)
{
trace(reportClick);
//dispatchEvent(new Event(MyGesture.clickOK));
}
}
}
** Mediaplayback.as (This is my Document Class)
package Gestures
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.filters.*;
import Gestures.MyGesture;
public class Mediaplayback extends MovieClip
{
private var my_gesture:MyGesture = new MyGesture();
public function Mediaplayback(){
addChild(my_gesture);
}
}
}
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

HI,
I did this:
public function MyGesture(){
this.buttonMode=true;
}
but it still does not fire...
Any idea what might be causing this problem?
The MyGesture class is instantiated from Mediaplayback.as (which is my
document class).
Could this nesting be the problem?

Re: [Flashcoders] CLICK event not getting fired
Ok,
I should have given a bit more background.
I am trying to detect a CLICK anywhere on the (blank) stage.
Only when the user clicks somewhere on stage, I want to show something.
How can I do this?
Do I still need to draw something?

Are you sure there is a graphic in the myGesture movieclip ?
You need something to click on.
Do you see the handcursor with buttonMode = true ?
Otherwise try this as a test in the MyGesture constructor asn make sure you
see a square, then check for handCursor, then click it.
Mind that the the square is a background graphic so children of MyGesture
can overlap
this.buttonMode = true;
this.mouseEnabled = true;
this.mouseChildren = false;
this.graphics.beginFill(0xFF00FF,1);
this.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
this.graphics.endFill();

Hi Anna,
Thanks.
Forgot to mention that I tried MouseEvent as well and no luck :(
Seems so strange
I am sure I am missing something basic here.

Hi,
Although a bit late, I am making a move to AS3 and facing some issues.
After banging my head around a bit, I would like to ask for some help :)
My CLICK event is not getting detected from withing my class file.
In the code snippets below, the reportClick function is not getting
triggered when I click my mouse in stage.
Here is how the files are setup:
** MyGesture.as
package Gestures
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.filters.*;
public class MyGesture extends MovieClip
{
public function MyGesture(){
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reportClick);
}
function reportClick(e:Event)
{
trace(reportClick);
//dispatchEvent(new Event(MyGesture.clickOK));
}
}
}
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Sajid,
Try changing
function reportClick(e:Event)
to
function reportClick(e:MouseEvent)
In my understanding, AS3 treats Event and MouseEvent differently.
Hopefully, this helps.
Regards,
Anna

[Flashcoders] XML load and Draw line problem
Hi All,
I am faced with a strange problem.
I have a XML which I am loading into the Flash movie and then iterate
through it and store values in an array.
Then I run through the array and want to drag BOXES using the drawing api.
Here is my Flash Code:
-
//-- CODE START -- //
RootNodes = [];
SubRootNodes = [];
tempArray = [];
LoadXML(layout.xml);
function LoadXML(myXMLPath) {
var layout_xml:XML = new XML();
layout_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
layout_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
trace(success: +success);
trace(loaded: +layout_xml.loaded);
trace(status: +layout_xml.status);
if (success) {
nodeLen = layout_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length;
trace(nodeLen : +nodeLen);
for (var i = 0; inodeLen; i++) {
RootNodes.push(layout_xml.firstChild.childNodes[i].nodeName);
var node_xml =
layout_xml.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes;
rootnodeLen = node_xml.length;
for (var j = 0; jrootnodeLen; j++) {
tempValues = [];
for (var k = 0;
knode_xml[j].childNodes.length; k++) {
tempValues.push(node_xml[j].childNodes[k].firstChild);
}
tempArray.push(tempValues);
trace();
}
}
tracer()
}
};
layout_xml.load(myXMLPath);
}
function tracer() {
num = 0;
for (var i = 0; itempArray.length; i++) {
trace(Array trace: +tempArray[i]);
var Name = tempArray[i][0];
var Width = tempArray[i][1];
var Height = tempArray[i][2];
var XPos = tempArray[i][3];
var YPos = tempArray[i][4];
num++;
trace(WIDTH: +Width+ HEIGHT: +Height+ XPOS: +XPos+ YPOS:
+YPos);
var newMC = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(box+num,
_root.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(New MC: +newMC);
newMC.lineStyle(5, 0xff3300, 100);
newMC.moveTo(XPos, YPos);
newMC.lineTo(Width, YPos);
newMC.lineTo(Width, Height);
newMC.lineTo(XPos, Height);
newMC.lineTo(XPos, YPos);
}
}
//-- CODE END -- //
Here is my layout.xml XML file:
---
//-- CODE START -- //
root
LayerOne
asset
namesomename0.bmp/name
width100/width
height20/height
xPos50/xPos
yPos30/yPos
/asset
asset
namesomename1.bmp/name
width200/width
height10/height
xPos50/xPos
yPos70/yPos
/asset
/LayerOne
LayerTwo
asset
namesomename2.bmp/name
width150/width
height30/height
xPos50/xPos
yPos100/yPos
/asset
/LayerTwo
/root
//-- CODE END -- //
The problem is, All the traces are coming fine but the movie does not
draw anything :((
Any idea why its behaving like this?
Is the XML causing the problem or the createEmptyMovieClilp() causing
this problem.
I also tried:
trace(success: +success);
trace(loaded: +layout_xml.loaded);
trace(status: +layout_xml.status);
///
Everything looked OK.
Any suggestion or pointing to an error in my code is appreciated.
Thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] XML load and Draw line problem
Hi,
I figured out that if I hardcode the values things work, but if I use
values from variables, nothing works.
When I trace the variable values, they trace properly, then why cant I
use them dynamically???
Thanks for any help.

Use Delegate to fix this:-

Check, if that fixes the problem.

Hi, My data is not this simple or static. I gave this sample XML just to explain the structure. The XML is going to be dynamic, hence I need to parse it using something like XPATH (I suppose).

temp_Array1.push(TT);
temp_Array2.push(TT_hlt);

for (var j = 0; jtemp_Array1.length; j++) {
trace(J: +temp_Array1[j]);

[Flashcoders] Preloading dynamic XML file using XMLConnector
Hi,
I am storing my data in MySql database and using PHP to generate XML
file on the fly which is then read by flash using XMLConnector.
Now as long as the XML file is small, or is generated quickly by PHP,
Flash displays the data in the datagrid properly.
When there is a slight delay in generating the file (fraction of a
second maybe) then the Datagrid remains empty.
I tried running just the PHP script alons in the browser, all the
results are coming fine.
I am using on(result) on the XMLConnector to make sure that the next
script is executed only after all the data has been loaded. But I dont
think on (result) is working.
My question is, is using on(result) {} the right way to do what I am trying?
Is there any other way to check preloading of the XMLConnector content?
Thanks

[Flashcoders] Flash PHP XML problem
Hi friends,
I am facing a new challenge (maybe not new to others here)
I have this application where I am searching MySql database and
returning the results in an XML format using PHP.
I have some 600 records in the database (Which I feel is not too big.)
Now, some of the results are showing up on screen and others are not.
If I directly try to access the URL, i can see that the XML is
generated correctly.
I am also using
on(result(){
}
On the XML Connector to wait till the data loads.
So my question is, is there some safe limit to the number of records
in XML for the XML connector and Dataset to work properly?
Since the data is sensitive, I am not able to show you the working link.
Ask me if you need more clarity on the issue.
Thanks for your help.

Taking your suggestion, I tried this:
//--

class FlashCoders {

public function FlashCoders(path:String) {
someXML = new XML();
someXML.load(path);
}
public function getSomeValue(someXML){
var nodes:Array = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(someXML,
/FlashBlog/PostMain/Post/*);
trace(nodes[0]);
}
}
//--
//--
actionscript
//--
var a:FlashCoders = new FlashCoders(main.xml);
a.getSomeValue();
//--
The trace is coming as UnDefined.
I am sure I am doing something wrong here as I am new to writing classes.

I tried looking at the supported HTML tgas and it says, I can only ALIGN to LEFT OR RIGHT. Thats strange, no option for CENTRE align an image.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Loading multiple images inside dynamic textfield
vspace works fien with images. But it will spoil my layout becaause vspace gets applied to both, the top and bottom of an image. So So show the second image, I have to give vspace to the second image just a little more then the first image height, this places the image correctly, BUT, it also adds extra space equal to the vspace at the bottom of the second image which is not required. Looks like we need some more features here :) Wonder if many people face this issue.

[Flashcoders] Loading multiple images inside htmlText field
Hi, I am trying to load Multiple imges inside a dynamic text field. The images load BUT They are all placed one above the other, the vertical space between two images is just equal to the a line break. Can anyone throw light on why this happens? Is it because the time taken to load the images is more and hence the height of the images is not known?
