delayed trace

2009-11-14T17:16:24Z

ive got a loaded xml list for an mp3 player. from playing track1, when i select track 2, it traces "track1" but then after a second click it traces "track2" and stays on that. the actually music for track2 does load on the first click though, but not the trace.

anyone know why on the first click it would still trace the previous track?

here is the code for that function…

ActionScript Code:


/*When you choose a new item on the List it will play for you.*/
        private function SnglClick(event:ListEvent):void {
            var item:Object = event.item;
           
            try
            {song.close();}
            catch(error)
            {}
            try
            {channel.stop();}
            catch(error)
            {}
           
            song = new Sound();
            song.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler, false, 0, true);
            song.load(new URLRequest(item.data));
            pics.visible = true;
                switch (playList.selectedIndex){
                    case 0:
                    trace ("1 selected");
                        MovieClip(pics).gotoAndStop(1);
                    break;
                   
                    case 1:
                    trace ("2 selected");
                        MovieClip(pics).gotoAndStop(2);
                    break;
                   
                    case 2:
                    trace ("3 selected");
                        MovieClip(pics).gotoAndStop(2);
                    break;
                   
                    default:
                    trace ("default")
                }

    //      if (playList.selectedIndex == 0){
//          trace ("1 selected");
//        } 
//        if (playList.selectedIndex == 1){
//          MovieClip(pics).gotoAndStop(2);
//          trace ("2 selected");
//        }
//        if (playList.selectedIndex == 2){
//          trace ("3 selected");
//        }
            channel = song.play();
            channel.soundTransform = (mute_mc.isMute)? new SoundTransform(0) : sndTrans;
            channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundComplete, false, 0, true);
            position = 0;
            playPause_mc.playing = true;
            playPause_mc.gotoAndStop('pause');
        }

thanks if anyone can help.

Will Alchemy override us?

2009-11-14T16:48:01Z

Hey all,

The other day, i seen an alchemy port of box2d flash physics engine and its performance was incredible in comparison to the native AS3 port.

Having no idea what alchemy is, i believe it is the targetting of the Flash Runtime to C++ developers?

This is almost certainly bad news is it not? Theres millions of C++ developers, many of which are highly skilled and have been around for ages?

When i consider the alchemy ports performance, and also consider things like pixel bender, although its early days yet, the future seems to be leaning towards the gurus… opengl shaders and C++ developers.

I have some questions if thats ok?

What is alchemy in simple terms?
Should i start to learn C++ today with the flash runtime in mind?
At intermediate AS3, how difficult is C++ to learn?

Thanks !

Would love a Beta to read the first 3,000 words of my contemporary adult novel

2009-11-14T15:54:47Z

Fellow writers!

I am seeing if anyone would be kind enough to read the first 3,000 words or so of my WIP. Possibly with a view to reading the whole manuscript when it’s finished. I am over 60,000 words into an 80,000 word novel.

A warning: if you are easily offended, then my story might not be for you. It’s a contemporary novel, darkly comic in tone, set in Bradford – which is, for those on the other side of the Atlantic, a working-class town in Northern England – and as such contains swearing and is written in a colloquial style. It also contains some drug use and scenes of masturbation! P G Wodehouse it is not.

However, if have a dark sense of humour, and appreciate the works of Chuck Palahniuk, Irvine Welsh, Martin Amis, James Kelman, Sue Townsend, Roddy Doyle, and others, then my story just might appeal.

In addition to some encouragement and positive appraisal (ie, what you thought was good about my work), I am also looking for some gentle criticism and areas where you think I might be able to improve.

What will I offer in return? Oodles of thanks, and a willingness to read and appraise your own work (if that’s what you want).

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Danny.

Events

2009-11-14T15:52:12Z

Hi all

It’s not now that i’m thinking if there’s another way of using events and its calls.

When I want to bind an event to someone like a MovieClip a create at least 5 functions, like this example of some behavior in MouseOver and MouseOut:

1) function addHover(mc:MovieClip):void
{
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,callOver );
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,callOut);
}

2) function callOver(me:MouseEvent):void{applyOverAction(me.ta rget)}
3) function callOut(me:MouseEvent):void{applyOutAction(me.targ et)}

4) function applyOverAction(mc:MovieClip):void{/*your over actions*/};
5) function applyOutAction(mc:MovieClip):void{/*your out actions*/};

then we apply it to some mc and it has the behavior of over and out…simple but I think its too much code isn’t ?

Is there another way of doing something like this ?

thanks

Flex and AS3

2009-11-14T15:26:34Z

hello!

Im new into this and I´m very confused about the way I can use AS3 and Flex as I don´t understand very well the way I can use vars and functions I have in AS3 in the flex objects

Is there a tutorial that can explain it to me?

Now im loading an xml file in flex in an as3 class:

ActionScript Code:


package Carga

  import flash.events.Event;
  import flash.net.URLLoader;
  import flash.net.URLRequest; 

{
    public class Carga
    {
        public function Carga()
        {
            var myXML:XML = new XML();
            var XML_URL:String = "datos/objeto.xml";
            var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
            var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
            myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);

            function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
            {
                myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
                trace("Data loaded.");
            }

        }

    }
}

So, I want to use the data that I loaded in my myXML object in Flex, how do i do that? I´m so confused I got a headache!!!!

Thanks

Does it ever frustrate you to have to keep your mouth shut?

2009-11-14T15:23:10Z

As the old adage goes, to write a good story, you have to:

1. Put your protagonist in a tree.

2. Throw rocks at him.

3. Get him down.

In what I’m working on right now, there are lots of big rocks with much action and (hopefully) suspense, and a major twist at the end of act two.

But I’m only just now nearing the end of act one (about 90 pages in, out of what I figure will be around 450 or so, and I expect the end of act one to come in 20-30 pages).

I think it may kill me to keep everything I have planned bottled up inside. I’m so excited about what’s going to happen it keeps me up at night, thinking about what the antagonist has in store for the main character.

BUT I CAN’T TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT IT. (except my wife, in very broad terms, and I’m sure she’s gotten tired of listening to my babble at this point)

Even worse, I write like molasses in December; it’s taken me six weeks to put out 90 pages. I sometimes feel like I’m never going to get to the big parts. I’m hoping that once I get them written I won’t be as giddy, but I’m almost afraid it’ll get worse if I think what I wrote was good…and I can’t tell anyone without spoiling the story.

Anyone else get frustrated over not being able to talk about what you’re working on?

(on a side note, I sure do feel like I start a lot of "is anybody else like this?" threads )

calibri font display is unclear if text is read from xml file

2009-11-14T15:22:32Z

problem in short – when the flash file reads text from a xml file, the font display is unclear. when the text is embedded in the flash, it appears clearly

problem in detail –

i would appreciate your help because i am unable to resolve this problem despite my best efforts. please see ‘~about.fla’. it has been decompiled from a swf file as the original source code was not available (can this be causing the problem?). the xml folder resides in the same folder as ‘~about.fla’. it contains ‘about.xml’. you can download these files at http://rapidshare.com/files/30694628…d_from_xml.zip

i discovered a problem – if you view ‘about.swf’ – when you click on ‘history’ link, you can see that the text is distorted. this text is read from the xml file. but is you click on the ‘key people’ link, you can see that the text appears perfectly. this text is embedded in the flash itself.

please help me to resolve this problem. thank you in advance for you time and efforts.

i have given the screenshots ‘text is unclear.jpg’ and ‘text is clear.jpg’ to further explain my query.

please tell me if i have explained my problem properly or further clarifications are needed.

Simple Dynamic text scrolling.

2009-11-14T15:01:08Z

Fairly simple probelm. Been away from Flash for a while and struggling to relearn. Also been working more with AS3, but I am working on something that was designed using AS2(not by me). I have a dynamic text box populated by an external xml file. Works fine, however I am having hassles getting it to scroll. I only want buttons, and not a drag bar. Tried several methods I found around the forums but nothing seems to work for me. Probably only me but….any help is appreciated.

Text filed is nested as follows.

iam.theData.textBody

buttons are btn_up and btn_dwn. Both are located inside the ima clip.

What code would I need to produce smooth scrolling? Also how do I hide the buttons when not needed.

Cheers
Scott

Linking image in XML – Not as easy as it sounds?….

2009-11-14T14:51:33Z

Hey there.

I brought a template online and I’m trying to modify it to suit my own needs. Now, the template came with a nice XML file that should allow me to modify justa bout everything; (the xml is available at http://davidmaymedia.com/dummy/tfile_main.xml) however, I’m having a problem that not even Google can help me with, and the worst part is, it should be something simple!

Now, I’m not a god of Flash, far from it. My knowledge is basic at best, however, I love tinkering and hope you can help me.

If you see the .xml, the menu links are clearly visable near the top and its this code which is confusing me. For my XML text-adjustable menu, the code reads

Code:

<link systemOrder="5">

<font color="#ffffff">05.</font> CONTACT

</link>

This works a treat and goes exactly where I want it to; however, its not the text I want linking to that point. Its an image from within another page. The image I want can be found just a couple of lines below;

Code:

<image imageUrl="_pic1.png" link="#"/>

Now, its baffling me that I can’t modify # to make it link where I want, and I’m in desperate need of help. I’ve manged to make it link to somewhere else on the site with;

Code:

<image imageUrl="_pic1.png" link="asfunction:_root.more_click_func, privacyPolicy"/>

But alas, no good/use to me that way.

Also, the format of the original link ’systemOrder’ is new to me, any ideas/experts on this?

Thanks for your input.

To see a dummy test of the sites layout (and to get an idea wtf im on about) see www.davidmaymedia.com/dummy (where the images are on the second tab labelled ‘about’).

TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE within case

2009-11-14T13:58:09Z

I stumbled upon a problem while converting a part of my game’s code from else if to switch case.

I use the following code to start a power-up:

ActionScript Code:


case "high":
                {
                    trace ("powerup: starting speedup");
                    Main.reqjecSpeedBuffer = Main.reqjecSpeed;
                    Main.reqjecSpeed *= 2;
                   
                    msPerUpdate = int( 1000 / frameRate );
                    totalUpdates = int( powerupDuration * 1000 / msPerUpdate );
               
                    timer = new Timer( msPerUpdate, totalUpdates );
                    timer.addEventListener( TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, unhigh );
                   
                    timer.start();
                    break;
                   
                } // case

I use the following code to terminate the power-up:

ActionScript Code:


private static function unhigh( event:TimerEvent = null ): void
        {
            trace ("powerup: speedup ended");
            Main.reqjecSpeed = Main.reqjecSpeedBuffer;
           
            cleanup();
        }

For some reason the TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE is never triggered. I used to work when I was using if else instead of switch case. Any idea what is causing this?

Hi there,

I’ve recently brought a flash-template and I’m looking for a way in which my images that are in the XML files can link to certain pages via a ’systemOrder’ script.

With text, the follow code works just fine;

And here is the code for my image;

However, no matter what I do or whatever I replace ‘#’ with, it just wont link right.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Demo : www.davidmaymedia.com/dummy – Under the About tab, you will notice a ‘recent work’ menu. I want the images on there to go to specific pages (like the 01.home, 02.about 03.reel 04.services 05.contact) do.

I’ve been able to discover that the following code will send it to the privacy page, but can’t for the life of me figure out how to make it go to systemOrder="6";

But anyway, I want my _pic1.png to go to systemOrder="6" (like the menu text does).

http://davidmaymedia.com/dummy/tfile_main.xml << Is the full XML

You can see both relevant bits of the script in the top section. (around line 15 for the menu text with link information – and around line 23 for the images).

I’m trying to give you as much info as possible.

Fun With DS Titles

2009-11-14T13:44:59Z

We’ve all seen them. We’ve all shook our heads and thought- "That’s a one step answer"

So, post your titles and your answers.

Here’s an example:

How to Properly Test a Woman’s Hormone Levels
Step 1: Ask if she’s gained weight.
Step 2: Duck
Step 3: Hide

If she cries- she’s possibly pregnant. Hunting you down and removing your genitals may indicate pre-menstrual syndrome. Both are high hormone situations. Giving you the bird while stressing the link between canines, your mother, and your biological father may indicate medium hormone levels.

Tips: Wear running shoes.
Warnings: Hormonal women can /kill/ you

Heh. You don’t have to go that long. I just was having a giggle.

Passing a function through data in a comboBox

2009-11-14T13:39:32Z

I want a comboBox that will allow the user to select what colour palette they want the application to have.

I am using a comboBox to do this and want to have a function with arguments as the data in the comboBox item.

I’ve managed to do it and pass arguments but these are running when the comboBox is set up. I only want the function to run when the user presses the submit button. How can I prevent the function from running on set up?

Here is my code:

ActionScript Code:


package
{

    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.text.*;
    import fl.controls.*;
    import fl.managers.StyleManager;
    import flash.text.TextFormat;

    public class CatProcess extends MovieClip
    {

        var headingTxt:Label;
        var headingFormat:TextFormat;
        var userLabel:Label;
        var paletteLabel:Label;
        var ageLabel:Label;
        var ageInputBox:TextInput;
        var standardFormat:TextFormat;
        var nameInputBox:TextInput;
        var userName:String;
        var paletteCombo:ComboBox;
        var submit_btn:Button;
        var rose:TextFormat;
        var aqua:TextFormat;

        public function CatProcess()
        {
           
            //Palette Label
            paletteLabel=new Label();
            paletteLabel.text = "Please select a colour palette for this form";
            paletteLabel.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
            paletteLabel.setStyle("textFormat",standardFormat);
            paletteLabel.move(89,157);
            addChild(paletteLabel);

            //Palette ComboBox

            paletteCombo=new ComboBox();
            paletteCombo.addItem({data:setPalette("chose aqua via a function"),label:"aqua"});
            paletteCombo.addItem({data:setPalette("chose rose via a function"),label:"rose"});
            paletteCombo.move(360,157);
            addChild(paletteCombo);

            submit_btn=new Button();
            submit_btn.move(255,258);
            submit_btn.label = "submit";
            addChild(submit_btn);

            submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,processData);
            function processData()
            {
                trace("working");
            }

            function setPalette(hhh:String)
            {
                trace(hhh);
            }

        }
    }
}

Plus, my movie is taking ages to submit, even though there is nothing on the stage. There are components in the library though. Would this cause it to take about 5 seconds to export to swf?

Fit an swf file to the browser’s available space.

2009-11-14T13:34:18Z

Hello friends I have a question.

Is it possible for a flash file thats uploaded in an HTML page, to take up the available browsers space no matter how much resolution a computer has?

For example, if I view it on a screen thats 2560×1600 or one thats 1280×800, it would still fit to the screen of the browser, so that no scroll bars will be needed.

Thanks.

Some odd problem with my loader…

2009-11-14T13:16:51Z

hello everybody. I am trying to have a page for displaying some products on a website. The product display application is based on a tutorial which achieves a very nice app but the code actually sucks… I tried re-structuring the code but a lot of problems happened so I decided to edit the code anyway… What I’m trying to do is that when I click on the "More" button in the product display app, the image of the product should be loaded into some movieclip and the description should be loaded into a dynamic text field. The link to the image and the description is inside a XML file. Everything is working fine except loading the image… I keep getting the following errors:

Code:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::LoaderInfo@2125f3a1 to flash.display.DisplayObject.

        at MethodInfo-373()

Here’s the code responsible of loading the info, description and the image:

ActionScript Code:


function fData(item:MovieClip, iValue:int) {
            item.txt.text=data_xml.item[iValue].title;
            item.price.text=data_xml.item[iValue].price;
            var specsText = data_xml.item[iValue].specs;
            thumbURL = new URLRequest(data_xml.item[iValue].big);
            item.more.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoURL);//event listener for more btn
           
            function gotoURL(e:MouseEvent):void {function
            MovieClip(root).content.offersPage.offersPopup.specs.text = specsText;
            ldr = new Loader();
            ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, thumbLoaded);
            ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
            ldr.load(thumbURL);
           
            }
           
            function thumbLoaded(e:Event):void
            {
                MovieClip(root).content.offersPage.offersPopup.thumbOffers.addChild(e.currentTarget);
            }
           
            function onIOError(e:IOErrorEvent):void
            {
                trace(e);
            }

any suggestions?

Bold Predictions: Niners make playoffs, Cards don’t

2009-11-14T12:58:37Z

Quote:

NFC contenders that will get in

San Francisco 49ers (4-5). Despite sitting ninth in the conference rankings with a sub-.500 record, the 49ers are 4-2 against NFC opponents, with winnable games coming up against Green Bay, Jacksonville, Seattle, Arizona, Detroit and St. Louis. The 49ers will need to win six of their final seven games — including the completion of a season sweep over the Cardinals — to win the division, but that’s doable if they limit giveaways.

NFC contenders that won’t

Arizona Cardinals (5-3). Despite leading the division by 1.5 games over the 49ers, the Cardinals have one less conference win than San Francisco. Arizona’s defense has not been as strong as last season. Though the Cardinals have had success against the run, they have allowed 29 pass plays of 20 or more yards and seven pass plays of at least 40 yards. The schedule is not particularly hard, but it’s not a cakewalk either, with potentially tricky games against Tennessee and Green Bay and a game against the Vikings at home, where Arizona is 1-3. A stumble here and there and a loss at San Francisco could put the Cardinals at 10-6 and on the short end of a tiebreaker with the 49ers.

Load external swf gallery

2009-11-14T12:49:40Z

I’m trying to load a swf that contains a flash gallery in to a movieClip.
The problem is that load the swf but the gallery isn’t able to load it’s images so i only get the blank swf.
The funny thing is that when i use a UILoader at startup everithing, everything loads so it’s ok, when i tell it to load on a click event it stops working.
I have the following code …

ActionScript Code:


b1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startLoad);
function startLoad(e:Event)
{
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("fisa.swf");
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
mLoader.load(mRequest);
}

function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event)
{
        addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
}
function onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent)
{
var percent:Number = mProgress.bytesLoaded/mProgress.bytesTotal;
trace(percent);
trace (mProgress.bytesLoaded)
trace (mProgress.bytesTotal);
}

color fade effect problem

2009-11-14T11:45:30Z

Hi,

I am having a little bit of trouble with some code and am hoping someone here can shed some light on the problem. First off, I am using prototype (javascript framework), however the syntax is very similar to actionscript, so hopefully AS people will be able to help out..

So, this is a text color effect function, which takes an array of color codes, and fades from one to the next. I am using scriptaculous’s effects engine, which basically does this:

Code:

    this.currentFrame = 0;

    this.state        = 'idle';

    this.startOn      = this.options.delay*1000;

    this.finishOn     = this.startOn+(this.options.duration*1000);

    this.fromToDelta  = this.options.to-this.options.from;

    this.totalTime    = this.finishOn-this.startOn;

    this.totalFrames  = this.options.fps*this.options.duration;
....

loop: function(timePos) { if (timePos >= this.startOn) { if (timePos >= this.finishOn) { this.render(1.0); this.cancel(); this.event('beforeFinish'); if (this.finish) this.finish(); this.event('afterFinish'); return; } var pos = (timePos - this.startOn) / this.totalTime, frame = (pos * this.totalFrames).round(); if (frame > this.currentFrame) { this.render(pos); this.currentFrame = frame; } } },

… Ok, so that’s the effects engine– so, for my sequence of colors, let’s assume I pass in ['#ff0000', '#00ff00', '#0000ff'].. Here’s my code (I’ll use lots of // comments to explain my thought process):

Code:

setup: function() {
// this takes #ff0000 and turns it into [255,0,0]
        this._base = $R(0,2).map(function(i){ 

                return parseInt(this.options.sequence.first().parseColor().slice(i*2+1, i*2+3), 16); 

        }.bind(this));

                        

// the rate of increase for the position variable (the position of the animation loop) needs to be increased depending on the number of colors in the sequence..  I called this, 'multiple'..
        this.multiple = this.options.sequence.length - 1;

        this.sequence_index = 0;

        this.setDelta();

},
        setDelta: function() {

                this.sequence_index += 1;
// this takes the next color in the sequence, so at the start, that would be #00ff00, and converts it to [0,255,0]

                

                this.dest_color = this.options.sequence[this.sequence_index].parseColor();

                        

                this._delta = $R(0,2).map(function(i){ 

                        return parseInt(this.dest_color.slice(i*2+1, i*2+3), 16) - this._base[i];

                }.bind(this));

        },
// the update function is what the animation loop calls for every position

        update: function() {
//  This is basically taking each r,g,b channel, performing the math functions and then returning it back as a hex "#ff0000" string....

                var new_color = $R(0,2).inject('#',function(m,v,i) {

                var c = (this._base[i] + ((this._delta[i]) * (((this.position / this.sequence_index) * (this.multiple)))).round())
// I was originally getting negative numbers, which is a sign something else is wrong, but I did this to work around it for now...

                

                c = (c > 255) ? 255 : (c < 0) ? 0 : c;
                return m + c.toColorPart();

        }.bind(this));
// here I detect if the destination color has been reached, if so, set the base to the current color, and advance the destination color to the next color in the sequence
        if (this.sequence_index + 1 < this.options.sequence.length && new_color == this.dest_color) {

                this._base = this._delta;
                this.setDelta();

        }

// and then I apply that color to the element (no need to show that code) },

… So, this sort of works.. But, it seems that the color transitions after the first one are not quite right.. I am assuming it’s a math problem, so… I thought I’d post here and see if anyone see’s a problem with how I am doing this.

Thank you!

Does your opinion of your writing change? One day it’s good, then next day it’s bad.

2009-11-14T09:13:48Z

Is there anyone who can empathise with me, or offer any thoughts?

When I read something I’ve written my opinion of my work can best be described as bipolar.

Fifty per cent of the time I am proud of my writing, and think it’s as good as most published works.

The rest of the time I read my writing and feel that it’s average. I can do nothing but find fault. I feel that it reads like something scribbled by an angst-ridden teenager in his bedroom; I get an irksome feeling that my writing’s not quite good enough.

I am talking about re-reading the same scene or paragraph. I may read it one day and think it’s great, and then I’ll read the same scene a day or two later and think it’s not very good. And I may even read the same scene another few more days later and think it’s fine.

Is this a common feeling for writers?

looping animation inside symbol

Frame 2 – gotoAndPlay(1);
Frame 3 –
Frame 4 – gotoAndPlay(3);

As I understand it, if I start the movie clip at frame 1, it should loop frames 1 and 2, and if I start it at frame 3, it should loop frames 3 and 4. Why won’t it work ? What am I missing ?

How much do you consider categories when you write?

2009-11-14T07:39:57Z

One of the things I’ve seen here on the boards is how novel writing is split into categories. There are many categories, from erotica to childrens literature.

For me, I don’t think about it at all. What I’m writing now COULD be said to be an edgy YA story, but I think that for me I would possibly start to limit myself if I started to think in terms of categories. There would possibly be scenes and subject matters that I would unconsciously not write about.

I don’t say that categorisation is bad or good – i have no opinion on it. However, for me a 19 year old is no different than a 33 year old when it comes to writing fiction. They are both undefined adults.

I am curious how much the rest of you aim for categories.

Ok I am sure this has been asked and I apologize I searched back several pages trying to find the answer.

I was using some free time to take a look at some agents websites, preparing myself for when I am ready to start querying my MS.

I often thought the whole point of an agent was that they could help you get published as most publishers don’t accepted submisions of unsolicited work, but through my travels I found several agents who do not accept unsolicited work… I find myself total confused with this.. can someone explain it to me…

Matt Leinart hypothetical

2009-11-14T06:36:39Z

This isn’t about trading Leinart now or in the future but a "what if" scenario that I’ve been arguing with someone on another board about.

They are claiming that Vince Young has sparked the Titans’ recent mini-win streak. That conversation led to me suggesting that the Titans would have been much better off in the short term and long term if they had drafted Leinart instead of Young.

Young and Leinart have both had their respective troubles with playbooks and work habits but had Leinart gone to Tennessee I really think he’d have experienced quite a bit of success by now.

Norm Chow and Jeff Fisher(I think) both wanted Leinart. They are both connected to USC and Leinart played under Chow at USC. When you look at the way the Titans approach the NFL game it’s much like USC. Heck, Leinart’s old backfield mate LenDale White was even there.

The Titans have Chris Johnson to fill the Reggie Bush role from USC and a consistently good defense. I mean, how could it have been any more of a seamless transition for Leinart to go into that situation?

Compared to the turmoil that was Dennis Green’s last year as coach and Whis and Haley’s total deconstruction of Leinart I think he would be far better off in his career if he had not been c-blocked by Bud Adams’ love for Young.

Also, who would the Cardinals have drafted if Leinart hadn’t fallen so far? Would Warner have adopted the gloves if he hadn’t been benched in favor of Leinart?

Accomplishment with a goal…

2009-11-14T05:57:43Z

As anyone who can’t outrun me knows, I sat down with an editor from Kensington Press November 3rd, this is not about that.

Well it is kinda. A few days ago I wrote an e-mail to an agent who has had a partial for a few months and said "Dude, I think the book is sold, I need you to sell the movie, we can make a lot of money"

He said "Let me read the five and get back to you"

Today the e-mail said "I was going to call you today, are you available this weekend?"

Pretty cool huh?

Plot Hole? …Possible Spoilers

2009-11-14T05:42:56Z

So… here is something I’ve been thinking for a little while. Its been bothering me. (I tend to re-watch One Piece in my spare time)

I recently started over and came across episode 61 again. In the 2nd half of the episode they start looking at maps to understand Reverse Mountain. And before I noticed this, I always thought that they entered INBETWEEN the Red Line, but no! They enter Grand Line via Reverse Mountain because the Calm Belt is in the way. Not the Red Line, the Calm Belt. (Meaning I always thought that there were walls seperating the Grand Line from North Blue, East Blue, etc…)

My thought pertains to the Marines as they have access to the Calm Belt via Sea Stone. Also, the Kuja Pirates, because they have two Yuda to pull the ship. (I mention them because the One Piece Wikia page says that they can cross the Calm Belt because of the two Yuda, as they can swim over it and scare away any Sea Kings, I think Amazon Lily is also an island in the middle of the Calm Belt, so this is important to them)

Mind you all, I understand that the map is not to any particular size. The Calm Belt could be miles wide, and inbetween both Belts (Grand Line) could me even more miles of ocean. But why can’t the Marines just enter the Calm Belt get to Raftel, One Piece’s location, and confiscate it, or whatever?

I get that its probably not that easy, being the "New World" but does it at least seem possible? I made a picture using a screenshot from episode 61… also wrote on it to possibly help you understand what I’m saying.

Anyone else think this? Or understand? Or could possibly help me understand? Its also stated that Gol D. Roger and crew are the only ones to have reached Raftel (episode 63 I believe; by Crocus)… Am I possibly putting TOO MUCH thought into this??

Variable Names Sent via POST

2009-11-14T05:19:44Z

I’m working on a simple form in AS2 that will send some variables via POST. These are being sent to a CMS in the background. Unfortunately, the CMS mandates that the variables must be named a certain way. They must be named fields[thefieldname] which really messes up the Actionscript involved.

Does anyone have any thoughts about how I could escape these [ ] characters so they don’t get interpreted wrongly as an Array by Javascript?

Code:

on (release) {

        

        var msg:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

        var msgSent:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

         

        msg.fields[thename] = _root.inputname;

Diseases and Frostbite: Is This Possible?

2009-11-14T04:55:53Z

Ok, so, I have a disease, and its terrifying. Its quickly reaching the levels of pandemic and no one can stop it, and its a horrible way to go. But why?

Well, my best idea so far (which isn’t a cliche of Alzheimer’s, leprosy, or rabies) is a virus/bacteria that knocks out the body’s ability to warm itself. The disease then feeds on heat energy. The person eventually freezes to death.
Anyways, in a fantasy world, is there any way this is at all viable? Also, which would be better for this, virus or bacteria?
And, this disease is being spread by a person, so mixing multiple kinds of disease-causing critters to make a sickness cocktail is not out of the question.

And, whats with all the frostbite around here lately?

All I want is ONE long run!

2009-11-14T04:36:15Z

I was just sitting here reflecting on our long legacy of not having a running game and I was thinking of something I haven’t seen in a very, very long time. When was the last time a Cardinal broke off a LONG run? It would just be nice to see THT or Beanie do that this year.

Then I started thinking back and we’ve had SO FEW long runs in the last 13 years or so, lol, I think I can name them all off the top of my head (ok not all of them but most of them because there are so few. Let me know if I’m missing any.) I’m talking about runs over 50 yards…. Heck, ANY run over 40 yards we could even take it that far… Has it honestly, seriously, truly been 7 years since we’ve had one? The LAST one I can remember is TJ against the Seahawks in 2002…. It seems like Shipp broke a couple of long ones in 03 or 04 but I cant remember. Those years were so bad it’s all a blur.

LeShon Johnson had a game against the Saints in 96 where he broke off 2 long runs…. ONLY game I can EVER remember where we broke off 2 long runs….

Adrian Murrell broke one off against the Cowboys in the 98 playoff game, he got run down, but it was still a nice run.

Michael Pittman had a long run in 99 I think it was against the Lions that was about 50 yards..

Thomas Jones had an awesome 60yd TD run against Seattle in 2002. I remember this one because it was the morning of my Wedding and I was the morning after my bachelor party and I was very hungover but still managed to get excited! (that game against the hawks ended better than the marriage but that’s a WHOLE other thread, hehe)

Lol Honestly, I cant think of any others. That’s amazing! I’m sure I missed a couple but you guys get the point.

It’s absolutely sad how boring and flat out BAD our rushing game has been for the last Decade. Just once I want to see a RB dash down the field in the UoP that isn’t Frank Gore…

Military Health Care For Dependents – Several Questions

2009-11-14T03:13:37Z

I have several US military health-care questions: I apologize for the crazy font – every time I try to change it, I make things look even worse.

My main character is on active duty with the National Guard. He was in the Army for ten years before that.

He’s the sole support of his widowed mother. Would he be able to add her to his military health insurance?

He also has a handicapped child. Would he be able to take her to any doctor using his Champus/Tricare card, or do they have to use military-provided health care?

Later on, his girlfriend suffers a traumatic brain injury. Would marrying her get her insurance coverage once she maxes out her private health insurance?

Thank you to all.

Pro-Life vs. Pro-Death: How to Attack the Enemy

2009-11-14T02:54:39Z

So.
In my WIP we have two opposing groups, who for the purpose of this discussion shall be known as Alpha and Beta. Both groups have existed for about three centuries, but are not known of much outside of the "need-to-know" sectors, mainly because many government people, filthy rich people, etc. are part of Alpha and though they think they’re doing the right thing, they don’t want it made public/some of it is a bit controversial. The government has the power to suppress the press. [Think secrecy on the level of, say, torchwood]
Alpha’s long term goal is to create eternal life (short term goals include abolishing abortion/euthanasia, curing many diseases such as Alzheimer’s and cancer, extending life spans, etc.). They believe they are doing the right thing. And they say so in a non-creepy way.
The Beta group was essentially founded to prevent Alpha from achieving their goal b/c they think humans are not meant to have eternal life. They are still pro curing diseases etc. but in a way they are a watchdog group.

Because these groups have existed for 300 years, many feuds have built up between them. Beta is willing to kill people to get what it wants. (Various squads of it are more militant; some are much more peaceful.) Alpha does not kill since it goes against its ethic but will capture and torture to achieve its ends.

My protag is a (somewhat reluctant) member of one of the more peaceful Beta squads; however, they still go on raids.

Basically, the questions are: 1. Would there be any way I could have Alpha consider killing Beta members "acceptable"? (Like maybe since they are "pro death" they are not really human, therefore…) 2. Is the very possibility of this working a grand delusion on my part, or what? 3. Because I show some raids and there’s a large battle-y bit at the climax when the 2 largest outposts attack one another, what are ways that Alpha members could harm Beta members? Right now they are using tasers and cal like that to knock them out, etc.

Sorry, that was long.

Circle collision turns into attraction?

2009-11-14T02:27:25Z

Hey i’ll attach my FLA becuase what i’m trying to do is a bit difficult to explain.
So basically I have a whole heap of circles which are user created and they all bounce off one another. Generally it works fine but occasionally two balls join together and sort of .. orbit each other.

my collision code is this: (it’s within two loops going through an array of movie clips, where mc1 is the current movie clip in the first loop and mc2 is the current movie clip within the second loop)

ActionScript Code:


dx = mc1._x-mc2._x
dy = mc1._y-mc2._y
dx *= 20; //this was originally like .. 0.9 .. i think, but when the problem arose i just bumped it up a bit and it seemed to improve
dy *= 20;
h = Math.sqrt((dx*dx)+(dy*dy));
normalX = dx/h;
normalY = dy/h;

v0= mc1.speedX*normalX + mc1.speedY*normalY;
v1 = mc2.speedX*normalX + mc2.speedY*normalY;
vrel = v0-v1;
dv0 = -0.98*vrel;
dv1 = 0.98*vrel;
mc1.speedX = mc1.speedX+normalX*dv0;
mc1.speedY = mc1.speedY+normalY*dv0;
mc2.speedX = mc2.speedX+normalX*dv1;
mc2.speedY = mc2.speedY+normalY*dv1

Man arrested for calling 911, asking for sex

Quote:

TAMPA, Fla. Florida police say a man arrested for repeatedly calling 911 looking for sex claimed it was the only number he could dial after running out of cell phone minutes. Tampa police said 29-year-old Joshua Basso made sexual comments to the 911 dispatcher and asked if he could come to her house. Investigators say she hung up, but he called back four more times.

He was arrested about 15 minutes later at his home late Wednesday and charged with making a false 911 call. Basso reportedly told officers that he didn’t think he would get in trouble for calling 911.

Tampa jail records show Basso is being held without bond but don’t indicate whether he has an attorney. He is listed as unemployed with arrests for theft and other crimes dating back to 2001.

Need Help With My Plot

2009-11-14T01:58:17Z

I’m in the plotting phase of my WIP and have tons of ideas floating around my head about my villain(s) and would like to get some feed back from you guys. I really value your opinions.

Now, in my story, there are a group of authority who control people (generally in a good way, but their leader has hidden agenda). There’s a character that controls one of this group. (actually the group is tiered and he controls one of the lowest tiers). Now, how this character and the leader of the said group (who has a hidden agenda as I said earlier) relate and/or affect each other is still undecided.
But they’re not in the same group.

Would it be better to have the villain be the character or the leader of the group?
I know it’s up to me and how I envision my plot, but I want some feedback to help me decide.

Now, I could make a grand-scale war between the group leader and the character who’s gathering soldiers to fight him. Or just make one of the two be the villain. Which is better? (I know it’s relative, but share your thoughts anyways)

if you needed more info to help you decide, let me know.

Control the look of exernally loaded text

2009-11-14T01:40:04Z

Hi Guys. I am using Flash CS3. I have a dynamic text box that scrolls text loaded from an external txt file (made in Notepad).

I was wondering if there is a way that I could better control the style (color, font size, bold, paragraph breaks, etc) of the text?? I know that in flash I can specify the font type, size and alignment. But I want to also make some parts of the text BOLD and DIFFERENT COLORS. Perhaps I can use html tags within Notepad to do this?? If so, HOW??…beacuse I have tryed and it didn’t work….the tags just showed up in the flash file along with the text, it didn’t read them as html (and yes, I set my dynamic text box to render html).

Any ideas?? thanks so much!

btw, here is the actionscript i use on my dynamic text box:

ActionScript Code:


loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("statement.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
        statement.text = this.statementtext;
};
