[actionstep-core] ASsymbolImageRep enhancement

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

Helo all,

I've been finding myself trying to use the size of a symbol representation
before its being drawn, like if I want to use setAlignment on it :

----
var rect:NSRect = new NSRect(30,100,200,200);
var img:NSImage = (new NSImage()).init();
var rep:ASSymbolImageRep = new ASSymbolImageRep("logo_sm");
img.addRepresentation(rep);

var iv:NSImageView = new NSImageView();
iv.initWithFrame(new NSRect(0,0,300,300));

iv.setImage(img);

iv.setImageAlignment(NSImageAlignment.NSImageAlignTopRight);

win.contentView().addSubview(iv);
----

since it seem the repSizeForClip method is only called when the rep is drawn
it was not working (the scaledImageFrameForRect of the NSImageCell class
would not get a size for the NSImage)

so I extended ASSymbolImageRep to have the constructor of the child class
look lihe this :

---
public function SMSymbolImageRep(symbolName : String, size : NSSize) {

        super(symbolName, size);

        var size_mc:MovieClip =
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("__SIZEMC__",_root.getNextHighestDepth());

        if(m_size == undefined) {
            m_size = repSizeForClip(size_mc);
        }

        size_mc.removeMovieClip();

}
---

it's working for me so I'm happy :) but I was wondering if woud not be a
useful addition to the ASSymbolImageRep class, and if not then why ?

Thanks in advance

Nice! Thanks for helping me out with this.

ASMovieControllerView should be done soon if you're interested. It's
looking much nicer.

Re: [actionstep-core] NSMovieView and a couple of questions

[Ewan M. <mr...@mr...>]

Hello,

The 'decompression' artifacts were caused by the video being played  
before it had finished initialising. Now I start the movie after it  
has finished initialising using a notification.

However this shows up a bug in the changes made to NSMovieView.as ,  
please see the fix

Cheers,

Ewan

Re: [actionstep-core] NSMovieView and a couple of questions

[Scott H. <sc...@af...>]

I checked in your changes, and I made a change that might help you
out. I'm still not home, so it's a bit hard to do any tests. It
doesn't look like I'll get back today, so it will have to be tomorrow
to look at that artifacts issue (that I have actually noticed).

Do you have any thoughts on what it might be? I have a feeling that it
will just be a trial and error fix.

[actionstep-core] NSMovieView and a couple of questions

[Ewan M. <mr...@mr...>]

Hello,

I've updated the NSMovieView.as

Looping playback works and the correct aspect ratio of the movie is  
maintained.
Could somebody check it and put it in the repository, thanks.

Using the code below

m_video = (new NSMovie()).initWithContentsOfURL("../../../video/ 
0-1-3-360_TheGame.flv");
m_videoView = new NSMovieView();
m_videoView.initWithFrame(frame);
m_videoView.showControllerAdjustingSize(false,true);
m_videoView.gotoBeginning(this);
m_videoView.setMovie(m_video);
m_videoView.start();

I expected the movie to start playing. It doesn't because the  
NSMovie.netStreamHanleStatus function pauses the video the first time  
it is called. Is this the desired behaviour? If it is what is the  
suggested way to start a movie with no controller (some sort of  
notification?).

Also when the video is first loaded it is full of 'decompression'  
artifacts (see game0.jpg). They are not in the video file. When I  
play back the video using the code I originally wrote for this  
program before porting it to actionstep no such degradation of the  
video was apparent and when the video loops it is no longer there  
after the first loop (see game1.jpg). Does anybody have any idea what  
could be causing this?

Ewan

Exactly. Invoke display on every menu when they are created. In your
case, you can add that invocation in the loop when submenus are
created.

Look at the documentation on osflash here:

Re: [actionstep-core] subclassing NSMenu issues

[Scott H. <sc...@af...>]

That's a really good question. Most of the time, yes, you should call
super.init()...unless you're overriding something like initWithFrame,
in which case you should call super.initWithFrame().

And no, there isn't somewhere you should always look. But you must
call an initializer in the superclass, without fail. Sometimes things
will go very wrong if you don't.

And don't worry about asking questions. It just makes us think a
little bit. Ask away. :)

Re: [actionstep-core] subclassing NSMenu issues

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

hi

yes I thought about that, this leads me to this question

can I call super.init() every time I subclass for safety ? How would I know
what are the necessary steps when subclassing ? For example I subclassed
NSButton and I think I had to override cellClass and setCellClass, is that
right ? (Or could I just have called setClass on my custom button ? ) But Is
there a way to know for sure what needs to be overwritten to make sure the
child class works ?

I know that in the appKit API reference there are infos about that, is it
where I should always look ?


sorry for all the questions but I really like ActionStep and would really
like to understand better :)

Re: [actionstep-core] subclassing NSMenu issues

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

hi

the populate method is called after a remote call to a php script made in
createMenu, so I guess the app is already running.

But is it a problem ?

How would u go about such a case before the yesterday change ? calling the
createMcs method on each menu and submenu method ?

It's true I am having problems getting around the display mechanism I a not
used to, would someone sum it up with examples ?

tia

Re: [actionstep-core] not understanding exceptions traces when using actionstep tests

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

hi there

yes actually I think it happens when  :

accessing the app through a Main Class that calls an init method for
instance

it does not happen when :

  - launching the app directly from the class which has the main() function
called by mtasc (to be verified I don't have time right now)
  - when loading the library at runtime and compiling agaisnt the intrisics
classes (this I'm positive about)


it might havs to do with using the SosLogger through as2lib, I havent tested
with other loggers though

I'm no guru as u lmight have noticed so I'm trying my best giving u hints
about whats happening

Re: [actionstep-core] not understanding exceptions traces when using actionstep tests

[Scott H. <sc...@af...>]

You're saying this happens on the test classes?

Which ones? I've been hitting this problem myself lately, and it would
be great if it could be isolated in a test (because my stuff has so
much code I don't know where to begin).

Re: [actionstep-core] not understanding exceptions traces when using actionstep tests

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

hi

well my code and the code in any test method of Test classes do just that so
thats why I didn't understand the errors ...

and they don't happen when I am compiling agaisnt the intrisics and loading
the library at runtime

so I thouhgt i was not a problem of view hierarchy which hopefully I
assimilated now :)

mmm

I don't know but the sequence was :

------
m_app = m_app = NSApplication.sharedApplication();

createMenu() //which contains m_mainMenu = (new SMMenu()).initWithTitle("My
Menu"); where SMMenu is subclassing NSMenu

m_app.run();
------

so I thought the menu was created *before" I start the app.



As for why you need to click it twice, apparently the display method

it works now, but what I don't get is why it was working with NSMenu but not
with my subclass ...


 thanks !

Re: [actionstep-core] not understanding exceptions traces when using actionstep tests

[Ray C. <rc...@gm...>]

Hi,
this means that you're trying to display a "orphaned" view. See

http://osflash.org/actionstep/documentation/views#hierarchy

for more information.

In ActionStep (or maybe Cocoa too), there are 2 types of views: a root
view (ASRootWindowView) and a normal view (NSView).

A root view can be displayed by itself, but a normal view can't. It
needs to be inserted under a root view or another normal view
(setSubview).

So to fix the error, create a window.

var wnd:NSWindow = ...
wnd.contentView().setSubview(yourview);

Re: [actionstep-core] subclassing NSMenu issues

[Ray C. <rc...@gm...>]

Hi,
I've figured it out. It's got to do with the way windows are handled
in ActionStep. It's been fixed. If you want to know more, read on.

A window is made up of MovieClips (mcs). (Actually views are but for
the sake of simplicity let's ignore that.) A menu contains windows.

So when a menu (and hence the window)  is created *before* NSApp is
run, this takes place automatically, ie the mcs are created for you.

But for your case, the windows are created *after* NSApp has started
running (I assume), so they will not have their mcs created. I've
changed that, so when a menu is displayed it's window is also forced
to create it's own mcs.

As for why you need to click it twice, apparently the display method
is called when the submenu is detached. Sounds weird, huh? I've fixed
this too.

[actionstep-core] not understanding exceptions traces when using actionstep tests

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

hi all,

posting again ...

When I am running the actionstep cases (ASTest...) I am using as2lib and SOS
to do my tracing.

I get a lot of :

18:09:33.473 org.actionstep.NSView.mcBoundsHolder():337 - NSException(
    NSException:
    Cannot access bounds holder movieclip until NSView is inserted into view
hierarchy.,
    NSDictionary(
    NSView=>NSView(frame=NSRect(origin=NSPoint(x=0, y=0),
size=NSSize(width=2000, height=2000)), bounds=NSRect(origin=NSPoint(x=0,
y=0), size=NSSize(width=2000, height=2000)) clip=undefined)
    )
    )

when the app starts and I have to say I don't get it ...

it doesnt happen when loading the library with the Loader and compiling
agaisnt the instrinsics classes

help appreciated (I kniow this has come up before but could not find the
post to the list :( )

[actionstep-core] subclassing NSMenu issues

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

hi all,

I have tried to subclass NSMenu and have encountered a weird behaviour.

I have to click twice on my main items to make the submenus appear (or have
to rollover twice on submenus that have submenus)

here is my code so maybe someone can tell me what i am doing wrong ...

import org.actionstep.menu.NSMenuItemCell;
import org.actionstep.menu.NSMenuView;
import org.actionstep.NSApplication;
import org.actionstep.NSException;

    private var m_itemsArray:Object;

    public function SMMenu() {

        super();
        menuRepresentation().setHorizontal(false);

    }

    public function initWithTitle(title:String):SMMenu {

        super.initWithTitle(title);
        return this;

    }

        return m_controller;

    }

    //returns menu controller
    public function controller():Object {

        return m_controller;

    }

    public function populate(itemsArray:Object,menu:SMMenu) {

        if(menu == null) {

            menu = this;

        }

        if(itemsArray.length > 0) {

            var mi:NSMenuItem;

            for(var i:Number = 0; i < itemsArray.length; i++) {

                var itemName = itemsArray[i]['CategoryName'][0]['name'];
                mi = menu.addItemWithTitleActionKeyEquivalent(itemName);
                mi.setTarget(this);
                mi.setAction("traceMenuItem");

                if(itemsArray[i]['children'].length > 0) {

                    populate(itemsArray[i]['children'],submenu);

                }

            }

        }

    }

[actionstep-core] Embedded fonts

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I having a real hard time figuring out how to use embedded fonts with
actionstep.

I was trying to change the default font for all the application so I
subclassed 'systemFontOfSize' in my custom theme.

Here's what I did :

  function systemFontOfSize(fontSize:Number):NSFont {

      if (fontSize <= 0) {
        fontSize = systemFontSize();
      }

      return NSFont.fontWithNameSizeEmbedded("Bliss", fontSize,true);

  }

Of course the font has to be embedded in the swf so I tried the swfmill
<font> solution which consists in a swml fil looking like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<movie width="1" height="1" framerate="12">
    <frame>
        <library>
            <font id="Bliss" name="Bliss"
import="D:\www\_sites\ScreenMatters\screenmatters.com\ressources\Fonts\BLISSHEAVY.TTF"/>
        </library>
        <Import file="fontsLibrary.swf" url="
http://mysite/flash/fontsLibrary.swf"></Import>
    </frame>
</movie>

It worked fine except that in an NSButton most of the fonts I have tried
cause the button label to shifted approximatively 20 px up (using a
NSButtonType.NSPushOnPushOffButton and pressing the button once shifts the
label back into place ... )

+ the fitToSize Method seems to not be working when the font is embedded

it also appeared that menu items didn't seem to resize to the item text size
properly and so the menu was not looking right (the end of the labels would
for instance disappear under the arrow thats used to indicate a submenu)

I then tried compiling on top of an already existing swf with the right font
present in the library and linked with the correct id and the shifting
dissapeared but the other problems didnt

Would someone help me in solving this ? What is your preffered method
regarding using embedded fonts ?

thanks in advance

thomas

ps. is there an online app that is using actionstep ? I would have a look a
indi but (would u believe it) I don't have a usb drive around.

Re: [actionstep-core] changing application default font

[Scott H. <sc...@af...>]

yes, you are correct. you must subclass ASTheme.

Re: [actionstep-core] changing application default font

[thomas m. <tho...@gm...>]

hi ray

I actually found them and overode systemFontOfSize in my custom theme

this is how I should do it right ? no way of setting the system font out of
subclassing ASTheme ?

cheers

Re: [actionstep-core] changing application default font

[Ray C. <rc...@gm...>]

Hi,
look at the methods that end with the suffix "FontOfSize" in ASTheme
and ASThemeProtocol. For example, labelFontOfSize,
controlContentFontOfSize.
