Trying to get back to business

date July 7th, 2010 user Marvin Blase

Go to Productfinder

Hey everyone,
long time no hear – but there were some very busy weeks which kept me from anything concerning Twitter, Blogging, etc. But now as some projects have been finished I’ll try to get back to business, starting with a new blog design at first :) For those interested what I’ve been working on, here’s a small excerp:

  • Agilent Productconfigurator
    A huge Pure AS3 application based on a config.xml which covers all filtering and setups them – and a modules.xml which carries all information about the systems and modules. It is written a way the client can customize every filter, every setup, every module. From declaring wether it should be a checkbox-filtering or a slider up to the modules’ tooltips. It has been realised with RobotLegs and FDT and I’m proud I’m able to say “This is a clean App!”, even after about 60 classes.
  • Dynamic Gallery for Hugo Boss
    An XML-Based, infinite loop panel using gallery with SWFAddress and a little backend.
  • QuickAnalyser & WebApp for MunichRe
    The WebApp is realised with many assets, FDT and a lot of timeline tweening. The Quick Analyser is based on an Excel Parser to XML, then some mindfreaking algorithms to get proportions of each year and value.
  • NoteToMyself
    This is a small WebApp by myself for mainly just storing passing-by-information. It works with SharedObjects as well as with Databases (if you are interested in an Account just drop a comment). So whenever I write down a note at home (while being logged in) I can quickly check it up in agency as well. I know there are many, many services doing so. But having fun with RobotLegs and some cool ideas made me write it by myself.
  • A dynamic gallery with Ken Burns Effect
  • Some Coverflows based on Typo3 data, customizable from the backend
  • Many tests with bitmapdatas and pixeltransformations

Furthermore I’ve been asked to go for some Articles on Tutspluts which I surely will do soon. As said, I hope there is a bit more time now.

So long, hope you like the new design :)

Trace all DisplayObject’s children

date April 28th, 2010 user Marvin Blase

Just cleaned up my development folder as stumbling upon that little script to trace every children
(and it's children) in a specific DisplayObject:

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. traceDisplayList(allCon, "=>");
  2.  
  3. function traceDisplayList(container:DisplayObjectContainer, indentString:String = ""):void {
  4.      var child:DisplayObject;
  5.  
  6.      for (var i:uint=0; i <container.numChildren; i++) {
  7.           child = container.getChildAt(i);
  8.           trace(indentString, child.parent.name + " " + indentString + " " + child.name);
  9.  
  10.           if (container.getChildAt(i) is DisplayObjectContainer) {
  11.                traceDisplayList(DisplayObjectContainer(child), indentString + "");
  12.           }
  13.      }
  14. }
  15.  
  16. // => allCon => container00
  17. // => container00 => clipA
  18. // => container00 => clipB
  19. // => container00 => clipC
  20. // => ClipC => ClipC1
  21. // => ClipC => ClipC2
  22. // ...

Tough miniscript to get a whole detailed trace of every children's children in the passed DisplayObject. Used that once for debugging but was surprised now it's still working :)

“I will kill your Timeline Tween when changing my properties”

date April 27th, 2010 user Marvin Blase

I stumbled upon some.. well, let's say "feature" of handling Timeline-Tweens within the Flash IDE. The following "feature" might be somehow confusing and it's a bit tricky to fix.

I'm talking of a Timeline-Tween which gets broken when changing the clip's properties while tweening.

How to first setup TweenLite v11

date April 27th, 2010 user Marvin Blase

Hey,
as I recently had to tell someone how and why to use TweenLite v11 (or any other Tweening Engine in AS3) I wanted to share that two minutes conversation with you. I think there will be following some other articles about TweenLite here - i guess there will be more Q&A talks concerning specific animations / techniques.

Converting a character to ASCII code number

date April 21st, 2010 user Marvin Blase

As ord(character) is somehow a privilege of Flash Light and AS1 here's a small AS3 workaround to get the ASCII code number of a specific character.

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. var charCarry:String = "C";
  2. var asciiConvert:int = charCarry.charCodeAt(0);
  3. trace(asciiConvert); // 67

You can look up the complete ASCII code table here.

So Germans don’t like Chrome / Safari?

date February 26th, 2010 user Marvin Blase

We recently checked the latest 1000 visitors' Browser (on each domain) and found out, that Germans tend to use the Firefox instead of using Safari or Chrome. Here's the result:

Beautify Code Firefox IE 7+8 Safari Chrome
.de 71,4% 9,6% 9,3% 5,5%
.com 57% 7,8% 16% 16%

So what we can see is that international visitors are using alternative Browsers more often than our German visitors do.

Does anyone got an idea why? :)

The finer Art of Loading (#2): It’s all about timing

date February 16th, 2010 user Marvin Blase

Hey everyone,
in the last chapter we made it to load a SWF and unload it on demand. Let's continue here and imagine that we're having three SWFs, each of them having some content which should be shown on click. A typical usage would obviously be a Flash Website consisting of multiple SWFs. Read more »

Check Flash Player Version

date February 13th, 2010 user Marvin Blase


Just a quick snippet to determine the visitor's Flash Player Version (incl. OS and Version RC) in Actionscript 3. The detailed trace of all information covers Operating System, Major Flash Version and up to the 4th release version, e.g. 10.0.42.34 - the latest release yet.

Array Protoype | removeValue(value:*)

date January 21st, 2010 user Marvin Blase

Another prototype I had to use recently and again the Internet didn't provide me any 100% working solution. So here's mine to remove a value in an Array and then automatically change it's keys, so if the value is in the first key everything will move up by one. (0 will be deleted, 1 will be 0 then, 2 -> 1)
