Popforge Flash Workaround (fp 9)

Posted by Fredrik

Ok, so the Popforge library that I´ve written about is developed for Flex but works well in Flash after some modifications to the SoundFactory class and some other minor tweaks. After seeing some posts at Joa Eberts blog where people have asked about a flash workaround I´ve decided to put up my modified SoundFactory class for download. When I started to implement Popforge in Flash I asked Joa what he would do and he said that instead of embedding the swf (thats the problem) load the bytes directly, and thats what I did (After some help).
Download SoundFactory.as

The entire Popforge library resides on http://code.google.com/p/popforge/

   I haven’t started playing with this yet, but I read about the Flash CS3 issues. Your post solves that, AND got me pointed in the right direction of where to start. Thank you.

   I guess my lingering question is: How do I get started with loading in a .wav file and playing it as a Sound object? I see the great depths and possibilities, but am unsure on the small stuff. I appreciate any feedback you have.

   Thank you,

   Chris

   To those with question on PopForge for fp9 all I can say that now when FP 10+ has been released there is no need to use it. There are new exiting libraries that is even more easy to use. Check out http://code.google.com/p/standingwave/

• Crossdomain image loading hack

  So about that little crossdomain image loading hack.

  on the INIT event of your loader do the following:

  var lInfo:LoaderInfo = e.target as LoaderInfo;
var dO:DisplayObject;
try{
dO = lInfo.content as DisplayObject;
} catch(err:SecurityError){
var spt:Sprite = new Sprite();
spt.addChild(lInfo.loader);
dO = spt;
}

• Finding http-links in NSString

  Had some problem with long http links in a UIWebView so I created this simple function that finds links existing in a NSString and creates an a-tag with a “Read more” label. Suited my needs for the moment.

  - (NSString *)parseLinks:(NSString *)html { NSScanner *theScanner; NSString *text = nil; theScanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:html]; while ([theScanner isAtEnd] == NO) { // find start of tag [theScanner scanUpToString:@"http" intoString:NULL] ; // find end of tags [theScanner scanUpToString:@"<" intoString:&text] ; html = [html stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", text] withString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Read more", text]]; break; } return html; }

• NSUserDefaults

  Want to store light information such as user defaults, current highscore fast and easy? Just use NSUserDefault.

  Example: Adding the current highscore:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:scoreValue forKey:@"score"];

  Example: Get the current highscore
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"score"]];

  Except primitives it works for NSData, NSString, NSNumber, NSDate, NSArray and NSDictionary
