Understanding the changes in the display API in ActionScript 3.0

Posted by eddie in : Computer 電腦, Flash , add a comment

官網的一篇基礎教學：

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/actionscript/articles/display_api.html

針對 display 在 AS2 與 AS3 之間的改變。

要注意的重點在於：

1. 以前我們觀念中都是對 MovieClip 在作事情，現在要想像 所做的事情 都是發生在 記憶體 中，然後 必須 將做出來的東西 加到 某個 Container 中，才會顯示在 Stage 上。

2. 以前的 MovieClip，現在已經被重構其繼承架構，所以若是你要做的事情不是太複雜，不需要真的產生一個完整的 MC 的話，其實可以考慮建立其父類別的物件，譬如 Sprite。

3. 繪圖 API，也不再是直接透過 MovieClip 進行，而要透過 graphics 達到，這點，知道一下即可。

4. 事件處理程序，你必須越來越習慣 addEventListener，知道一下即可。

Setup a remote connection to MySQL January 19, 2007

Posted by admin in : Computer 電腦, Linux , add a comment

To remotely connect to your MySQL databases, you must have an I.P.-based account. Login to your control panel and click on the side menu “ValueApps” then the “Database” tab. If you have not installed MySQL, click on “MySQL Database” under Available ValueApps. If you have already installed MySQL, click on “MySQLs” under Installed ValueApps. Check the box “TCP/IP Connection”. Now login to your account via SSH.

Use the MySQL monitor to grant privileges.

Start the MySQL monitor with this command:

mysql

or:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

Your shell prompt should now look like this:
mysql>

Run this command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO USERNAME@IP IDENTIFIED BY “PASSWORD”;

USERNAME is the username that you would like to create.
IP is the public IP address of your remote connection. See examples
PASSWORD is the password you would like to use for this username.
You now must flush MySQL’s privileges. Run this command:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Run this command to exit MySQL:

exit;
 



ActionScript 3 QuickTip #2: The Timer Class December 19, 2006

Posted by eddie in : Computer 電腦, Flash , add a comment

In previous version of ActionScript there were a couple of different ways to trigger events based on time. The setInterval() and setTimeout() functions were the two most commonly used ways of calling a function after a specified amount of time had lapsed. In ActionScript 3 we now have the Timer class which lives in the flash.utils package. This class contains all the functionality that you will ever need for time-based applications. In order to use the class, you first must import the flash.utils package as seen is the example below. The Timer constructor expects one argument that represents the desired delay in milliseconds between function calls. An optional seconds argument determines the number of times to call the function. The default for this value is 0, which means that it will call the function indefinitely. If you wanted to replicate the functionality of the deprecated setTimeout() function, you can simply pass 1 as the value for this parameter.

In my example below I am creating a Timer that will fire twice a second, but I haven’t yet told it what function to call every time the delay has passed. To do this we need to respond to the timer event of the Timer class and give it the name of the function that will handle the event. At this point our Timer will be setup for use but we still need to call the Timer.start() method in order to get things started. In my implementation below I am simply doing a trace() to the output window every time the Timer fires showing how many times it has fired. To get this value I am reading the Timer.currentCount property.

Actionscript:   

  1. // We need to import the utils package
  2. import flash.utils.*;
  3. // Create a new Timer object with a delay of 500 ms
  4. var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(500);
  5. myTimer.addEventListener(”timer”, timedFunction);
  6. // Start the timer
  7. myTimer.start();
  8. // Function will be called every 500 milliseconds
  9. function timedFunction(eventArgs:TimerEvent)
  10. {
  11.         trace(”Timer fired ” + myTimer.currentCount + ” times.”);
  12. }

Check out the AS 3 docs to see all of the available properties and methods of this great new class.



ActionScript 3 QuickTip #1: Dynamic Frame Rates December 14, 2006

ActionScript 3 QuickTip #1: Dynamic Frame Rates

This is a *very* cool new feature in ActionScript 3. We now have the ability to dynamically change the SWF frame rate at runtime using ActionScript. In the example below I have a somewhat creepy clown who is animating from side-to-side on the screen. You can use the slider to change the frame rate from 0 to 800 and something. There are a lot of applications for this such as lowering the frame rate for slower machines dynamically. The AS 3 code from the example is posted below:

  1. this.stage.frameRate = 0;
  2. rate.text = “0 fps”;
  3. thumb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, starter);
  4. thumb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopper);
  5. thumb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, stopper);
  6. thumb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mover);
  7. function starter(args:Event)
  8. {
  9.         thumb.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(track.x, thumb.y, track.width, 0));
  10. }
  11. function stopper(args:Event)
  12. {
  13.         thumb.stopDrag();
  14. }
  15. function mover(args:Event)
  16. {
  17.         var dist:Number = (thumb.x - track.x) / (track.width + track.x);
  18.         this.stage.frameRate = Math.round(dist*1000);
  19.         rate.text = Math.round(dist*1000).toString() + ” fps”;
  20. }
