View 6 RepliesI'm extending XMLSocket to work with a daemon, written in Java, that a peer is using to interface with his PLC controller.What I should be seeing from the daemon is simple digital io info in the form:
Code:
d0i,d0o,
Which represents a 'button' dowm/up. The strings are terminated with commas to make it easier for me to parse them. I've got my XMLSocket working just fine, but I'm receiving the data more like this:
Code:
socketDataHandler:
socketDataHandler: D
socketDataHandler: 4
[code]....
So, there's a null character, followed by individual chars that make up the message I'm expecting, only last "," is truncated. It does come through on the next dataEvent:
Code:
socketDataHandler: ,
socketDataHandler: D;
socketDataHandler: 4;
socketDataHandler: O;
Lastly, I checked raw data in a shell, and it looks like:
Code:
0000000: 0044 0034 0049 002c 0044 0034 004f 002c
0000010: 0044 0034 0049 002c 0044 0034 004f 002c
When dumped to hex. It is my understanding (mostly from a sdocs) that Each XML message is a complete XML document, terminated by a zero (0) byte.I can see that he's sending each CHAR separated by a 00 byte, but they are prepended, not appended like:
Code:
0000000: 44 00 34 00 49 00 2c 00 44 00 34 00 4f 00 2c 00
0000010: 44 00 34 00 49 00 2c 00 44 00 34 00 4f 00 2c 00
or even better:
Code:
0000000: 44 34 49 2c 44 34 4f 2c 00
0000010: 44 34 49 2c 44 34 4f 2c 00
I inherited a flash project from someone and if I add a simple movie clip to the stage at position 0,0 it actually ends up in the middle of the screen!
What I can see is that when I open the stage in the library, in it's properties
X=350 and Y=262,05 all the subsequent movie clips which are added to the screen as by magic are added at position X=-350 and Y=-262.05
I would really like to return to a situation where 0,0 is top left corner. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
I have a movie clip that is nested inside 2 other clips and want to get it's coordinates on the stage. I am using the localToGlobal method but it is returning the wrong values. Here is my code:[AS]
var myPoint = new Point(this.skew_mc.grid_mc.dot_mc.x, this.skew_mc.grid_mc.dot_mc.y);
var newPoint = this.skew_mc.grid_mc.dot_mc.localToGlobal(myP);
trace(newP);[/AS]
I've attached an fla with an example of this in. If anyone can point out where I'm going wrong .
I have a flash project that exports at around 3MB, I am trying to create a preloader for it but it seems to get called after the preloading is complete, there for, making it useless. My stage is empty, nothing on the timeline. The preloading script is called in the main document class. Does anyone know why this isn't working, am I calling my preloader function at the wrong place or are my objects in the library loading first? Here is the code,

I am working on an application that will allow a user to scale an image. The issue that I am having with the method below is that the scaling is always taking place on the previous scale point. For example: If I scale the image up one and then scale the image down one. I have to scale down twice to get it back to the point I want it to be.
Here is my current code:
private var sourceBMD:BitmapData = testImage.source as BitmapData
private var matrixScaleX:Number = 1;
private var matrixScaleY:Number = 1;
private var baseScaleX:Number = .05;
private var baseScaleY:Number = .05;

View 8 RepliesI am pulling an rss feed into my flash project and don't know of a way to show 'read more' text in place of the link itself, and then hyerlink that 'read more' text using the link from the feed. Currently I am sending the 'link' child value to a dynamic text field and it works fine and I can get it to link, but I don't want to show the link, just a 'read more' but still have it linking. I hope that makes sense. A code snippet is below:

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
xml = new XML(e.target.data);

It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.
I'm creating a game in flash for a university project, and learning actionscript and programming as I go. I'm very much still at a beginner level - at the moment al I have is some actionscript for drawing rectangles and moving them about the screen. This is what I'm having trouble with at the moment: I have a class called 'Creature', and I want instances of it to interact with each other. I want them to do something when they come within a certain distance of another instance. And I want them to be able to pick a random other instance to get the location of, in order to do something with that information.
What I think I need is: A function for telling the distance between two (x,y) points.
A way of referencing the nearest other instance of the class. And a way of randomly selecting from all of the instances of the class.
How to convert 3d point to 2d point? I've found next formula in Internet(camera is situated in origin)
[Code]....
But these formulae give me strange result when z are less than zero(z<0) I need build line from A(100,100,100) to B (100,100;-100) As you can see these equations give really strange result when I try to convert B point in 2D dimension
i have the follow issue :
I have a point which is setted at the border on a component, with changed transform point to the center of a component in order to match the component rotation.
the important part is when i try to get the point XY after rotation - they remains the same as before rotation.
how to get XY, after rotation ( changeing point.rotation property to specific degrees of rotaion )
I am using AS2 with Flash 8 Professional So, my problem is that I currently have a man in the middle of the screen, who shoots a line towards the mouse when I click. However, when I use hitTest to see if the line collides with another object, Flash recognizes the line as a large box if it is diagonal, so the hitTest isn't very accurate. The line only satys there for one frame, so I can't have the usual moving-bullet-style. I am either looking for a way to create an imaginary line with AS from the starting point to the mouse and beyond, and tell whether or not this line intersects with an object... or some other way that I haven't thought of to fix my problem. Keep in mind that the line rotates from a center point towards anywhere around it for 360 degrees.
