Problem In Using Senoculars FreeTransform Tool

SizeRestrict W/senoculars FreeTransform.as
I am using the freeTransform.as script found on senocular.com. I have tried to follow the definition as closely as I can, however, it doesn't appear to be working. Can anyone help; senocular are you out there?


Code:
stop();
var restrict = {xmin:50, xmax:200, ymin:50, ymax:100};
customStyle = new FreeTransformStyle([1, 0x0000ff, 100], [20, 0xFFEEAA, 75], ["s", null, null, null, "r", null , null, null], true, 2, restrict);
customStyle.customCursor(["r", "spin", 2], ["s", "scale", 2, true], ["m", "move", 1]);
2:hide, 1:nohand, 0:hand;
//customStyle.addHandle("r", 4, 1.5);
with (square) {
myClip.onPress = function() {
this.addFreeTransform(_root.customStyle);
};
}
deselect.onRelease = function() {
customStyle.removeAll();
};
reset.onRelease = function() {
_root.play();
};

Skin Cursors For Senoculars Transform Tool?
Is there any easy way to skin the cursors that appear on senoculars transform tool? I can see the built in methods to skin the controls but I don't see anyway to skin the cursor. I've seen a few examples of this done on the web but I'm not sure how.

[F8] Senocular's FreeTransform.as
Hi all

Im using FreeTransform.as(http://www.senocular.com) code to create transform tool om movie clip.

But its rotation,scale and drag functions are not restricted.I want to place my movie clip with in boundary and ones any transformation reaches boundary it should be terminated.
I tried variety of code adjustment,but couldn't get perfect solution.
If any one who used above class please give me and idea how to figure it out.
Bit urgent.
Thanks.

[f8] Code Not Working For Freetransform
http://proto.layer51.com/d.aspx?f=636 Freetransform code used in this example:

Using this code below labelled (1) enables me to rotate and scale a movieclip, i want to be able to duplicate this movie so i have added the code below labelled (2), for this to take place.
But when i apply (2) code it stops the (1) actionscript from being used and continues to drag the movieclips without being able to freetransform......

(1)

Code:
stop();



customStyle = new FreeTransformStyle([3,0xFF0000,100], [20,0xFFEEAA,75], ["r",null,"r","s","s","s","r",null], true, 2);
customStyle.customCursor(["r","spin",2],["s","scale",2,true],["m","move",1]); // 2:hide, 1:nohand, 0:hand
customStyle.addHandle("r",4,1.5);
with (hands_mc){ // hands are in hands movieclip
a.onPress = function(){ this.addFreeTransform(); }
b.onPress = function(){ this.addFreeTransform(); }
x.onPress = function(){ this.addFreeTransform(_root.customStyle); }
y.onPress = function(){ this.addFreeTransform(_root.customStyle); }
z.onPress = function(){ this.addFreeTransform(_root.customStyle); }
}

deselect.onRelease = function(){
customStyle.removeAll();
}
reset.onRelease = function(){
_root.play();
}
(2)


Quote:




i=0;
hands_mc.onPress=function(){
i++;
hands_mc.duplicateMovieClip("hands"+i,i);
_root["hands"+i].startDrag(false);
_root["hands"+i].onPress=function(){
this.startDrag(false);

OnRollover Wont Work Using FreeTransform By Senocular
Ok, I have restled with this a hundred different ways, I don't understand why my onRollover function fails to work. Can someone please explain why and show me how I would correct it?

Code:
count = 0;
additem_btn.onRelease = function() {
var item_mc:MovieClip = pieceContainer.createEmptyMovieClip("item_mc"+count, this.getNextHighestDepth());
// create a container to load the furniture swf into
var container:MovieClip = item_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc", 0);
// setup a MCL to handle the swf's loading
item_mc.mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
item_mc.mcl.addListener(mclListener_2);
item_mc.mcl.loadClip("decals/bed.swf", container);
count++;
};
//
var mclListener_2:Object = new Object();
mclListener_2.onLoadInit = function(obj_mc:MovieClip) {
// set variables to remember the original dimensions
_global.axw = obj_mc._width;
_global.axh = obj_mc._height;
trace("width "+(((axw/2)/12)*12)+" inches");
trace("height "+(((axh/2)/12)*12)+" inches");
// center piece
obj_mc._y = -(axh/2);
obj_mc._x = -(axw/2);
// locate pieceContainer
pieceContainer._x = floor._x+(wide/2);
pieceContainer._y = floor._y+(high/2);
//
obj_mc._parent.onPress = function() {
this.addFreeTransform();
//trace(this)
};
obj_mc._parent.onRollover = function() {
trace(this);
};
//
};

Help With Senoculars Mp3 Player Please
hello, i've used senocular's mp3 playlist player
(at http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/MP3playlist.htm)
and it's wicked, so thank you for that, it was tough but fun!
take a look: http://www.lands-music.net - it's just a place to stick the music me and my mate make.

i have a couple of fiddly bits i can't sort out, would really appreciate a hand..

1) you have to select the track and then press the play button, how can i make it so you can just load the song by clicking on it? i've tried for so long!

2) when you click on certain tracks, sometimes one or two of them disappear, or one diappears, then you click another and another disappears... is there any way to sort that out?

3) is there any way of making the track stay lit up when you have selected it?

Tried uploading an fla of my file at the moment, but it's a massive 876k... i can mail it if any brains could help this tired one!

Cheers,
Micke

Senoculars Drawing API
I am currently interested in developing a drawing application and have come across this by Senocular:

http://www.senocular.com/demo/ASDRec...DRecorder.html

Files can be found here:

http://www.senocular.com/demo/ASDRecorder/

What I'm struggling with is removing the file selection part of the application. I just want to be able to set whichever file is loaded myself not allow people to choose. i.e drawing1.data

The loadfile part of the AS is this:


ActionScript Code:
dialogs.LoadFile = function(){    var file = this.loadlist.getSelectedItem();    if (!file){        msg_txt.text = "Invalid Selection.";        return false;    }    this.selectedfile = file.label;    this.loading_anim.animate(true);    this.cancel_btn.enabled = this.load_btn.enabled = false;    msg_txt.text = "Loading...";    Recorder.clear();        delete drawing_lv.onLoad;    drawing_lv.onData = onLoadHandler;    drawing_lv.load(file.data);}


How can I change this Loadfile function to just load drawing1.data instead of the variable file.data


Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Question About Senoculars 3d Engine
Hello, I'm trying to make a regular tetraeder in 3d with seoculars 3d engine. In this engine you have to use make3DPoint (x, y, z)

Now for this tetraeder I want to use a variable s that is the length of one rib. so this was the code I wrote with help from Voetsjoeba


ActionScript Code:
focalLength = 300;make3DPoint = function (x, y, z) {    var point = new Object();    point.x = x;    point.y = y;    point.z = z;    return point;};make2DPoint = function (x, y, scaleFactor) {    var point = new Object();    point.x = x;    point.y = y;    point.scaleFactor = scaleFactor;    return point;};ConvertTo2D = function (pointIn3D, scale) {    var pointIn2D = new Object();    pointIn2D.x = pointIn3D.x*scale;    pointIn2D.y = pointIn3D.y*scale;    return pointIn2D;};RotatePointsAndConvert = function (points, axisRotations) {    var TransformedPointsArray = [];    var sx = Math.sin(axisRotations.x);    var cx = Math.cos(axisRotations.x);    var sy = Math.sin(axisRotations.y);    var cy = Math.cos(axisRotations.y);    var sz = Math.sin(axisRotations.z);    var cz = Math.cos(axisRotations.z);    var x, y, z, xy, xz, yx, yz, zx, zy, scaleFactor;    var i = points.length;    while (i--) {        x = points[i].x;        y = points[i].y;        z = points[i].z;        // rotation around x        xy = cx*y-sx*z;        xz = sx*y+cx*z;        // rotation around y        yz = cy*xz-sy*x;        yx = sy*xz+cy*x;        // rotation around z        zx = cz*yx-sz*xy;        zy = sz*yx+cz*xy;        scaleFactor = focalLength/(focalLength+yz);        x = zx*scaleFactor;        y = zy*scaleFactor;        z = yz;        TransformedPointsArray[i] = make2DPoint(x, y, scaleFactor);    }    return TransformedPointsArray;};var s = 200;cube3D = [make3DPoint(0, -2/3*Math.sqrt(s-1/2*s*1/2*s), 0), make3DPoint(-1/2*s, 1/3*Math.sqrt(s-1/2*s*1/2*s),1/2*s), make3DPoint(1/2*s, 1/3*Math.sqrt(s-1/2*s*1/2*s), 1/2*s), make3DPoint(0, 1/3*Math.sqrt(s-1/2*s*1/2*s), -1/2*s)];cubeRotation = {x:0, y:0, z:0};this.onEnterFrame = function() {    this.createEmptyMovieClip("cube", 1);    cube.lineStyle(0, 0x000000, 100);    if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {        cubeRotation.y += 0.05;    }    if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {        cubeRotation.y -= 0.05;    }    if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {        cubeRotation.x += 0.05;    }    if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {        cubeRotation.x -= 0.05;    }    cube2D = RotatePointsAndConvert(cube3D, cubeRotation);    for (var i = 0; i<cube3D.length; i++) {        cube2D[i].x += 350;        cube2D[i].y += 250;    }        cube.moveTo(cube2D[0].x, cube2D[0].y);    cube.beginFill(0x0000FF,20)    cube.lineTo(cube2D[1].x, cube2D[1].y);    cube.lineTo(cube2D[2].x, cube2D[2].y);    cube.lineTo(cube2D[0].x, cube2D[0].y);    cube.endFill()    //    cube.moveTo(cube2D[0].x,cube2D[0].y);    cube.lineTo(cube2D[3].x, cube2D[3].y);    cube.lineTo(cube2D[2].x, cube2D[2].y);    //    cube.lineTo(cube2D[3].x, cube2D[3].y)    cube.lineTo(cube2D[1].x, cube2D[1].y)};
I dunno why but there seems to be a problem with it cu nothing appears when I push test movie, not even an error.

Anyone have an idea what the problem is?

O and I'm very very noobish at AS so plz don't laugh at me when it's something stupid

Greetz and thanks.

EDIT: O and don't worry about the names that state cube cuz that's only because I edited some code by Voetsjoeba.

Senoculars Loading Thumbnails
I need to dynamically preload my thumbs ,,,but i think its going to be kind of tricky since I'm using XML for all my images..and I don't know how to tweak the code even though there's comments for everything in the AS.
Senocular has a folder for his .jpgs.
I have the gallery.xml & folder named pics w/ all my thumbs & jpgs in there..so what do i need to change?

THANK u!!!

CODE 4 THE PRELOADING THUMBS

Code:

var baseurl = _url.substr(0,_url.lastIndexOf("/")+1);

v_spacing = 110; // vertical spacing

v_pos = 20; // starting vertical position of grid
count = 0; // counts clips added in the grid when created and for loading
thumb_clips = new Array(); // movieclips to contain thumbs
thumb_graphics = new Array(); // urls of the jpgs to be loaded as thumbs
for (i=1; i<=12; i++) thumb_graphics.push(baseurl + "gallery/thumb"+i+".jpg"); // populate thumb_graphics with jpg urls

Thumbnails For Senoculars XML Portfolio --- HELP PLEASE
(FLASH 8)

I only have today to get this done!
PLEASE HELP ME!

I have forged senoculars XML Portfolio into a site, one thing I need to add to make me (and my boss) happy is a scroll function to the thumbs at the bottom. I have everything working super cool except for the scroll, my boss is starting to get antsy in the pantsy...

I am not awesome at AS, But know enough to implement any suggestions you might have.

the effect i am trying to get is similar to the XML gallery with thumbs mousover effect, accept with a little bit o' easing.

The XML is set up differently, so I don't know if I can gut the one and implement it in the other...

Question About Senoculars 3d Engine
Hello, I'm trying to make a regular tetraeder in 3d with seoculars 3d engine. In this engine you have to use make3DPoint (x, y, z)

Now for this tetraeder I want to use a variable s that is the length of one rib. so this was the code I wrote with help from Voetsjoeba

Senoculars PHP Form - Not Sending Variables?
hi guys, i've been looking around everywhere and i can't find an working answer for my problem. 1st off, i downloaded the source files for the tutorial, uploaded them to my server to see if they worked:
http://www.nerdperfect.net/test/email.swf
and tested it out and it works fine! BUT!
then i created my own form using the tutorial.
My form is in a movieclip (_root.formMC.form) within a swf file (contactForm.swf) that loads into a container clip (_root.ccontainer) in my main movie (website.swf). The submit button is in the same movieclip as my form moveclip (_root.formMC.submitB).

My form consists of only text Input fields. I've named each field 2 different ways and tested each. first by instance names and then by var names.

the variable names for the fields are as follows:

Quote:




customerName
customerEmail
bandName
bandMemNum
metalType
hailFrom
msn
currentSite
likeDislike
fiveSites
serviceType
metalMuse
fiveCovers
existingContent
mp3s




I've then created a PHP file that emails the variables to my email address and to the user's email address.

here is the php script:

Code:
<?php
//variables aquired from the form
$custName = $_POST["customerName"];
$custEmail = $_POST["customerEmail"];
$bandName = $_POST["bandName"];
$bandMemNum = $_POST["bandMemNum"];
$metalType = $_POST["metalType"];
$hailFrom = $_POST["hailFrom"];
$msn = $_POST["msn"];
$currentSite = $_POST["currentSite"];
$likeDislike = $_POST["likeDislike"];
$fiveSites = $_POST["fiveSites"];
$serviceType = $_POST["serviceType"];
$metalMuse = $_POST["metalMuse"];
$fiveCovers = $_POST["fiveCovers"];
$existingContent = $_POST["existingContent"];
$mp3s = $_POST["mp3s"];
//end variables aquired from the form
//
//auto-responder
$to = $custEmail;
$subject = "?????????? Contact Form - Auto Responder";
$body="Thank You $custName for submiting your request, Mobius received the following information:

mail($to,$subject,$body);
//end auto-responder

//email send to nerdperfect
$to_2="????????????@gmail.com";
$subject_2="??????????? Contact Form - Customer Request Enclosed";
$body_2="$custName has submited a request:

$mp3s

";
mail($to_2,$subject_2,$body_2);
//end email send to nerdperfect
the actionscript on the submit button is:

Code:
on (release) {
form.loadVariables("contactForm.php","POST");
}
the confirmation that the email was sent/actionscript is on the MC called form (_root.formMC.form):

Code:
onClipEvent (data) {
_parent._parent.gotoAndPlay("11");
}
Now, here's my problem. The form does send the email, this is what i recieve:

Quote:




has submited a request:

Customers name:

's part of a band named which has members and they play style music

's Email Address Is:

Contact within 48 hours from recieving this email.




So what gives, obviously the sumbit button is calling up my php.script and my php scriipt is sending the email, but where are the variables?

I've added the FLA to look at. Keep in mind this fla produces a swf that loads dynamicly into a section swf that loads into a main swf so the total path to the form would be something like this:
mainmovie.swf.ccontainer>
contact.swf.contactcontainer>
strippedcontactForm.swf.contactFormMC.formMC.form

if that makes sense (i know that wouldn't work in AS this path is more a windows meets AS )

If any of you can figure this out i will HUG the snot outta you!!!!

How To Close Folders In Senoculars Xml Tree
Hi,
I am trying to use senocular's exellent xml based tree view code( http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/exampl...4ASclasses.htm )for one of my projects. What I would like to implement it the way senocular is proposing in his note "Class listing lag" so that the folder will be unfolded from the beginning. I have no problems to load the icons when folded, but how making the folders unfolded from the beginning? I have been pulling my hair for several days now, but the double recursion make it very hard for me. Have anybody been doing this or know how to succeed?

Senoculars Layout Class And Error 1119
Hello,

I was playing around with Senoculars Layout Class again, but ran into a wierd problem.

Code that I'm using is below. The Error I'm getting is that the 'children' property of the _layout instance is undefined

Quote:




DESC:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property children through a reference with static type com.senocular.display:LayoutConstraint.
Source:
_layout.children = new LayoutConstraint();




.....but that's not so, as the Layout Class has a property called children.

I can bypass the strict compiler using _layout["children"], but I'm trying to understand why this is going on. am I missing something?


ActionScript Code:
function setupLayout():void
{
    LayoutManager.initializeAutoUpdate( stage );
   
    _layout = LayoutManager.registerNewLayout( this );
    _layout.percentWidth = 1;
    _layout.percentHeight = 1;
   
    _layout.children = new LayoutConstraint();
}

Senoculars Event Bubbling With Buttons Issue
Here's some neat coding developed by senocular (thanks a lot!), that "allows child clips to receive events despite the fact that a parent might make use of them as well, something not possible with the normal convention of handling button events where no child movie clip ever receives button events if a parent has any button event handlers defined for it."

Yeah! It's neat.

But I can't really figure out how to attach an event to an mc called "child_next" within "parent1".

Can anybody help me out?









Code:
import com.senocular.events.*

function handleEventMethod(eventObject:ButtonEvent):Void {
// trace event
if (eventObject.type != "onMouseWithin") trace(eventObject.type +"("+this+")");

// stop event from bubbling up to parent clips if this clip is parent2.child
if (this.target == parent2.child) eventObject.stopPropagation();

// react based on which event is being received.
switch(eventObject.type){
case "onRollOver":
case "onDragOver":
// this.target.gotoAndStop(2);
this.target.play();
break;
case "onDragOut":
case "onRollOut":
case "onReleaseOutside":
// this.target.gotoAndStop(1);
this.target.play();
break;
case "onMouseWithin":
break;
//
}
}

// clips to receive events from ButtonEventHandler
var clips:Array = [parent1, parent1.child_prev, parent1.child_next];
var clip:MovieClip;
var buttonEventObj:ButtonEvent;

// allow events to pass through despite overlapping
ButtonEventHandler.overlapBlocksEvents = false;

// assign handleEventMethod as handleEvent handler for each clip in clips
for (clip in clips) {
// get ButtonEvent object for each clip and assign handleEvent function
buttonEventObj = ButtonEventHandler.getEventObject(clips[clip]);
buttonEventObj.handleEvent = handleEventMethod;

// for parent1, set overlapping to block events
if (clips[clip] == parent1) buttonEventObj.overlapBlocksEvents = true;

// enable the hand cursor by providing a null onPress event handler
clips[clip].onPress = null;
}

Senoculars 'Perlin Flag Wave' To AS2 Class
I've been trying to encapsulate Senoculars brilliant PerlinNoise Flag Wave example into a self contained AS2 class.

The original Fla example is here:

http://www.senocular.com/flash/source.php?id=0.188

I've tried to remove the need for having displacement Maps and bounding boxes in the target movieClip, by dynamically drawing them within the class itself.

I have so far succeeded and the effect works almost perfectly. However, the original example uses the alpha values of the displacement map to determine where, and how much displacement should take place. In my version though, I can't seem to tie the alpha values to the displacement. The noise happens uniformly across the displacement map, no matter how much alpha there is. (Should be none from the left edge where there is 100% alpha).

My Class is contained below, and still needs a lot of refactoring and openness to dynamic values, but if anyone can help me figure out why the displacement seems uniform, I'd very much appreciate it.

A Simple Zoom From Senoculars Advance Zoom-and-pan Script
Hi guys,

I've tried to modify the zoom script on senoculars website to a total simple zoom function.

http://www.senocular.com/flash/source.php?id=0.76

I want to use the slider, but without the pan-function and zooming in on different places on the main window.

Only thing I need is the slider to zoom in on the center of my main movieclip. I need to have a max. and min. _xscale and _yscale...

Can anybody help me out here... It should be pretty simple, but never used the slider thingy before, so I'm all lost here...

thanks

Line Tool/ Pen Tool
hello all i am obviously new to flash and my question is this. i want to be able to draw lines with the line tool and pen tool that do not have rounded edges. i want the edges to be flat with two sharp corners. is this at all possible using the line tool or pen tool? thank you.

Pen Tool
You know when you draw something with the pen tool, and then scale it smaller the lines start to bunch up and mess up the drawing.
Is there a way of keeping that from hapening?
Thanx!!!

The Pen Tool
When I use the pen tool in Illustrator, I have the option of creating lines, where the ends are sharp and boxy.

When I copy/paste into Flash 5, the ends of the lines turn soft and rounded. Is there any way to get the ends sharp and boxy?

If you need clarification of what I mean, I can send you a *.gif by email.

Thanks.

Using The Pen Tool
When I use the pen tool in Illustrator, I have the option of creating lines, where the ends of the lines (they call 'caps') are sharp and boxy.

When I copy/paste into Flash 5, the ends of the lines turn soft and rounded. Is there any way to get the ends sharp and boxy? I haven't used Flash 6 yet, but has this feature been added to Flash 6?

If you need clarification of what I mean, go to this page:

What's The Right Tool For The Job?
I was thinking about a app where a user could take their picture load it to the website and then see what they would look like in a clothing item, like a shirt. Now I'm imagining you would need sliders on the shirt to make it size correctly, to the picture, also the shirt whould then have to be draggable. Is this something thats do able in FLASH or is there another app out there that might be better suited?

One Last Pen Tool Question:
Once you insert a couple points along a line using the pen tool, is it possible to drag those points from their original location? For instance, if I wanted to move the top point on my line a little to the right (and lengthen the line from the previous point), how would I do that? Thanks again,
