publish docker image or dockerFile/docker-compose

除非你整緊個好勁既 software/framework, 個個都想用再 config 佢既

咁你就值得用 image 裝住佢再 publish

但如果你只係 on top d software/framework (i.e. mysql/ python / node…) 得你一個或者幾個人用, 咁用 dockerfile 自身都夠

即係 lego 咁 你整到一盒 lego pack 咁你咪 生image register囉

但你只係拎個城市系列 on top 加d野 , 第2個都唔會用既, 咁你用 docker-compose / dockerFile 就算啦

同埋人地d image registry 位咁少 就知你根本整出黎既野suppose 唔洗整image …

勁過鬼既 software 咪又係得一兩個… 你真係會整咩

vue props (but you want to make ui extension)

首要: props 係 per component 既

edited: 原來係中左 fallthrough attributes : https://vuejs.org/guide/components/attrs.html

所以個 q-inline-edit-table columns:columns rows:rows 會隊晒入 q-table 到, 改都改唔到 (change object ref), 唯有直改 類面 d value

再所以有第二個做法係熄左個 fallthrough attribute 自己用 $attr 去處理… 但上面個方法都得

再再 前者原來 vue 都有叫你(盡量)唔好咁做 : https://vuejs.org/guide/components/props.html#mutating-object-array-props, 但作為 extension 無理由係個 q-table children 到 emit 個 event, 叫 user d code 去突登加個 eventListener 去接再加翻個 action column 既…

btw 佢都頭盔左呢個 design As a best practice, you should avoid such mutations unless the parent and child are tightly coupled by design.

其實 vue 太多 magic shorthand 遇到唔同 tag, case 同一個 syntax 都有唔同結局, 尤其 v-bind

遇到 html tag 但 class 同其他 attr 又會唔同, 遇到 component, 就直頭 pass props.睇唔明諗唔明就睇下 doc 先…

仔唔好亂改個 props 啊 之 哦原來你整既 ui extension 咁又唔同講法

每個 component (加 children) 都有自己既 props, 由阿媽一到傳到落底都係用同一個 props (suppose 你既設計最好係咁)

props 其實係一條同 d html 若即若離既 variables/status tree

又可以向下傳

你 define 左會用咩 props, 就拎得到 !

d props 如果指住左某個 object

columns: [{xxx}, {yyy}]

你d仔係唔可以隨意 assign 個 new array 隊翻入去

會出一個 columns=xxx 既 error

點解呢

  1. 因為個 array 係 proxy array
  2. 你隊個新既係無用
  3. 個 props 係好多隻野望住 (reactive嘛) 你求其隊個新一隻野落去會搞亂晒望住佢既人

咁點算 點改

咪唔好郁個 object ref, 你可以 push, shift 等等 一做就 reflect

其實雙阿媽到整左既 props, 一路傳落去用咪幾好 (EDITED: 今日先發現原來d props 係 auto 向下落, 個 template tag set 好左個 props, 下面d child tag 自然會用到)

(EDITED: template v-slot:body=”props” , using v-slot, props will 自然向下, 反而唔好叫 props 叫 slotProps 好d, v-slot:body=”slotProps”, 呢個係 argument (not parameter) 黎 , props 其實係自動入(同你入咩名無關, 咁不如叫 slotProps 以之識別), 跟住入到去 slot 就會改過花名叫 slotProps)

suppose 好好地用 9成時間 唔洗轉呢面d values

點知你個 task 係整 ui extension , 當你整緊個 q-table wrapper, 阿媽d props 係 user 自己砌, 跟住 pass 入去 q-table son 之前就攝下野

同一時間 你又唔想人用你個 library 個陣要加太多 props, eventlistener 等等

咁你而家想攝野又無可厚非

(e.g. 攝多個 action column 係 columns 前面)

所以即係你要改props la, 但千祈唔好叫佢指個新 ref, 你用住 original 個 value 攝黎攝去, 只要 obj ref 唔變係 ok ga

process.env.xxx in quasar

  1. you need put the env in front of the command rather than using export, it seems quaser build need in the command session (when case you cannot use .env)
  2. it is a replacement of text rather than run in js, so you may check the generated code to see is the actual value you want
  3. use args in docker-compose to pass the variable instead of ENV, it may make you life easier. Seems the process.env is not traditional env. But it similar like a argument passing

Page loaded over HTTPS but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint

https://stackoverflow.com/a/61903230

哈哈你以為呢個就係答案?

其實係你個 route set 左個尾有 “/” 或者無 “/”

api url 其實好 strict 個尾有”/” 同無 , 你 call 錯都會出 error… 不過最奇係出上面個 error…

你想唔出 error, 可以去 fastapi 個 docs 到對下有無 call 錯 “/” 既 api … 你想 set “o岩” 可以去 routes 到 set “/” or “” …

但有趣地方係 localhost 又無事

deploy 上 server 先出事 唔知係 traefik 問題定係　browser 對出街既網　strict d 了

traefik some note

php real ip issue:

Use $_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’] instead of $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] for php if using traefik as loadbalancer, or 172.X.X.X internal IP is return rather than real ip


http redirect

if need http→https

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60510232/how-can-i-redirect-http-to-https-using-traefik

put this label under traefik service in docker compose and remember set traefik.enable=true

用 docker 又加左 python scheduler 但又無 print 唔出野

但 call 其他野 print 又無啦啦彈翻晒出黎? 放心你個 schedulrr 同個 program 都無事

solution:

put this in docker-compose

PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1

ChatGPT ans:

If you’re using the apscheduler library in your FastAPI app running in a Docker container, and you’re not seeing print messages in the container logs, it’s possible that the messages are being buffered by the apscheduler library or the Python interpreter, and are not being immediately flushed to the Docker logs.

One way to force the print messages to be immediately flushed to the Docker logs is to set the PYTHONUNBUFFERED environment variable to 1 when running the container. This will disable output buffering in the Python interpreter, and ensure that print messages are immediately written to the Docker logs.

quasar / vue

quasar 就係被你用佢原本 d component, 你想 cus 咩

佢就整左 d slot 被你去 攝/cus

加上 vue d shorthand logic (i.e. v-if, v-for) … props 既幫手就可以輕易咁 整/改 quasar or other 牌子 component

btw 你搞咁多野 vue 下面堆 props,data,methods,computed… 全部都係為左 serve 你上面堆 html template… <== vue 之真諦

-ti (for docker / other ssh/terminal program)

-t 即係 -tty (docker doc 話係 pseudo-TTY) 即係扮 terminal … 而家係 ssh … 但又想扮以前古代既 terminal, 呢個 tty = teletypewriter 好古代 真係有部打字機 但係識射d 電 signal 出黎, 個 -t = tty = terminal 真係扮緊呢個

-i 即係 interactive (docker doc 解釋叫 Keep STDIN open even if not attached) , 呢個 interactive 同而家既解釋要少少分別 , 個 _ 閃閃下俾你打字 俾command 去電腦係古代已經好 interactive … 所以 interactive = 被你入去 >_ 到打 command ; 相反唔 interactive 即係唔洗你入去打 command 直接行 program…

所以簡單黎講 你想用 docker 入 container 做d “interactive” 操作就要 exec -ti

終於明點解 js , py 咁鍾意用 get_XXX() 去 return 個 object

係啊 你可以就咁 inline code 

route = APIRouter()

點解係要整個 

def get_abc_router(p1, p2) -> APIRouter:
  router = APIRouter()
  @router.get("/verify")
  async def verify(user: User = Depends(current_active_user), parameter using p1, p2):
......
  return router

無錯啦 最重要就係個 p1, p2
你可以週位 import 個 get function, 跟住整新 object 個陣仲可以入 p1, p2 去 config
你無 get_xxx function 都得既, py 直 import 個 var
到時咪無得 config 囉

defineComponent vue

defineComponent 係 program 上係無用 直出你個 object

defineComponent  其實主要 for typescript 用
但你無用 ts 都無所謂

都可以 define 下

你可以試下 define 下 components, 你個 ide (vscode) 會即刻將你有用到+define左既 component 著燈

something about vue

  • Options API > Composition API, 但兩者都要學 (options api 本身都係 on top of Composition)
  • data() 即係 reactive state
  • this. 其實佢有好多自動野加左落隻 object 到 已經唔係原本隻 object 了
  • :class :style = v-bind:class v-bind:style
  • v-bind 就係扭個 html attribute value 既工具
  • props 主要係 read-only, 寫 html attribute 到射入 component, 又可以 parent to children
  • props html 係可以用 hyphenated, 入到 js 自動變 CamelCase
  • @ 即係 addEventListener
  • emits 即係 dispatchEvent
  • 你可以 explicit 咁 declare d event, 咁樣就唔會同 native 撞
  • slot 即係將 html value 當 parameter 咁隊入 component html
  • vue 係 shorthand 工具 同一個做法可以用好多方法寫 又好多自動左既 transformation 要睇清楚 manuel
  • ref 即係內置 dictionary, 等你可以加d html element 入去, 被其他去 call
  • v-model 即係 mvc 既 model, 類面係裝 object data 既
  • watch 即係 onchange 咁用, 或者改 value 個陣攝隻手埋去
  • computed 即係 cached get

frontend 真係搵個 nginx 隊住就得…因為全 static 死 file

https://medium.com/@jwdobken/develop-quasar-applications-with-docker-a19c38d4a6ac

# develop stage
FROM node:13.14-alpine as develop-stage
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN yarn global add @quasar/cli
COPY . .
# build stage
FROM develop-stage as build-stage
RUN yarn
RUN quasar build
# production stage
FROM nginx:1.17.5-alpine as production-stage
COPY --from=build-stage /app/dist/spa /usr/share/nginx/html
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

唔怪得dev齋build 就算
build d static file 出黎就完
唔似 server side code 要搵個 program run 住
求其搵個 nginx 隊住就得
你想 dev 試就加 command 落 docker-compose
command: /bin/sh -c “yarn && quasar dev”

btw 同場加映:
用得 docker , d source code 有得 copy 就 copy ; 係 wordpress 有歷史因素(can update src code by button) 呢d另類先唯有用 mount

成日諗唔明點解 promise 點解要放 resolve/reject 做 define function 既 parameter

const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  const result = performAsyncOperation();

  if (result) {
    resolve(result);
  } else {
    reject("Async operation failed");
  }
});

你要記住你成堆由 (resolve, reject)=>{xxx} 成舊野(your custom defined function) 都係叫 executor function

因為 promise 個 class pre-set 左 有一句會 call executor(resolve, reject)

既然你明知人地會 call 一個 function 要入 parameter resolve, reject 你創建個個 function 就當然要有 resolve, reject; 唔係人地 call 個陣咪唔夠料囉

你睇下 promise d src code 就知 你 define 塞入去個堆 logic 佢會叫做 executor 

class Promise {
  constructor(executor) {
    this.state = 'pending';
    this.value = undefined;
    this.reason = undefined;
    this.callbacks = [];

    const resolve = (value) => {
      if (this.state === 'pending') {
        this.state = 'fulfilled';
        this.value = value;
        this.callbacks.forEach((callback) => callback.onFulfilled(value));
      }
    };

    const reject = (reason) => {
      if (this.state === 'pending') {
        this.state = 'rejected';
        this.reason = reason;
        this.callbacks.forEach((callback) => callback.onRejected(reason));
      }
    };

    try {
      executor(resolve, reject);
    } catch (error) {
      reject(error);
    }
  }

  then(onFulfilled, onRejected) {
    if (typeof onFulfilled !== 'function') {
      onFulfilled = (value) => value;
    }
    if (typeof onRejected !== 'function') {
      onRejected = (reason) => {
        throw reason;
      };
    }

  === more promise method below ... ===

好啦 係 code 層面你明 , 人地叫呢個 resolve, reject 係 signal 囉

async 收到 signal (你 個 self define executor function call resolve 個下) 就會 call 用 .then register 既 callback …

揀 sql or mongo (nosql) 一些想法

如果你用緊 model 係 subobject 有一定既 ref 性 (即並非 clone data) 咁樣用 sql 先有意義

即例如你有張單 PO

PO 有堆 PO ITEM

然後有張 集單 List 叫 PL 先算
PL 會有d PO1.POITEM1, PO1.POITEM2, PO2.POITEM2, PO2.POITEM3

但如果 d POITEM 真係 ref 黎, 咁樣 sql 先有意義

如果整 PL 個陣都係抄 POITEM d data 咁樣其實用 document 都係一樣

即

PO1 {

POITEM1 : {name,qty}

POITEM2 : {name,qty}

POITEM3 : {name,qty}

}

when init PL , the PLITEM is clone from POITEM, 咁其實用 document 儲都好靚仔 最多搵多個 field 記住個 POITEM src ID

但你話唔係, PLITEM { POITEM1 …} 係直接 link 住 POITEM 既 id, 咁就真係有 relationship 既地方, 咁 sql 先有意義

如果係 Clone data 都變一個新個體, 用 document 儲其實仲合符具體現實 跟本無咩 relationship 可言; 你話 update poitem 要update 埋 plitem, 咪做 reflection / event 乜都得啦

decorator of function in py

decorator…

you may think it is used for an extend of an original function.

so you should call the original function in your decorator by your design

(although some rare case, like using a test function to replace the original function)

So, a decorator is a way to extend or modify the behavior of an existing function without modifying its source code.

From POE:

Yes, a decorator is a way to extend or modify the behavior of an existing function without modifying its source code.

When you apply a decorator to a function, the decorator creates a new function that wraps the original function with some additional behavior. The resulting wrapped function can then be called just like the original function, but with the added behavior provided by the decorator.

For example, consider the following decorator function that adds some behavior before and after the wrapped function is called:

def my_decorator(func):
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        print("Before the function is called.")
        result = func(*args, **kwargs)
        print("After the function is called.")
        return result
    return wrapper

In this example, my_decorator is a function that takes another function func as an argument and returns a new function wrapper that wraps func with some additional behavior. The resulting wrapper function can be called just like func, but with the added behavior provided by my_decorator.

Using this decorator function, you can extend the behavior of any function by applying the decorator to the function using the @ syntax, like this:

@my_decorator
def my_function(x):
    return x * 2

In this example, the @my_decorator syntax applies the my_decorator decorator to the my_function function, so that when you call my_function(2), the wrapper function returned by my_decorator is called instead, which first prints “Before the function is called.”, then calls my_function(2), which returns 4. Finally, the wrapper function prints “After the function is called.” and returns 4.

So, a decorator is a way to extend or modify the behavior of an existing function without modifying its source code.

uwsgi vs gunicorn

uwsgi… 用用下會 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream

你又以為從 vm 壞/唔夠 resources, 又以為 nginx set 錯野…

跟住你 google , 點 google 都無咩 solution 係真正永久 work

solution: use gunicorn…

其實仲易 set 過 uwsgi …

docker 好處

唔好講咩 container, 咩 isolation

對 developer 既 develop 方式有更大好處

剩係 dockerFile 同 docker-compose 同 d swarm/k8n 呢d 已經可以:

  • 唔同既 docker software 都係用同一款方式管理, config 規范晒係 dockerFile/docker-compose
  • 比以前 deploy 方式 更多 config file 可以被 commit / reuse
  • dockerFile / docker-compose d config 可以 commit, 可以好快咁重用

你話 makeFile 都可以 commit la, 係架, 但類面d command 都係太 software specific

docker command 將佢變成 RUN, 規范左, 可以專注睇只係識睇既野, 如果用 makeFile 就要學其他唔識睇既 command. Docker 已經規范左d instruction, 就算 parameter 唔識睇 但都實知佢做緊咩

你話 salt/chef 夠可以 config 規范, 係啊. 但只限 server provision. 未達到去 config software 層面

呢d我覺得 je, 唔認同都唔緊要.

vue

vue 只係 node 既一個 program / software

一個行 js 既 program / software, 你寫左一堆 js instruction

vue 呢個 program 就同你 gen 一堆 browser 識睇既 js 出黎

當然你都可以用 global build / cdn 版本

但你就要直接寫d browser 識睇既 js 出黎

node vue program 幫你 gen, 你咪多d component, shorthand, .vue file 幫你寫

cdn 版你就要寫好多”奇怪” code.因為要 browser 識睇

how to disable setting prompt for your custom mac input method

“xxxInputMethod” would like to enable third-party input method “XXX”.

please see your code … is there any “TISEnableInputSource(inputSource);”

find that this function call will trigger the setting prompt.

本身呢個功能應該係 for 有d app 想著某個 輸入法

但如果你個 app 本身係輸入法就應該唔洗 如果唔係個 prompt 就煩死你

如果寫輸入法 TISSelectInputSource 應該都夠做

P.S. google “TISEnableInputSource”. 都幾多野睇同學 對比起就咁 search inputMethod

sql join join join and filter

寫 sql 唔同你寫 program 唔係入個阿媽某個 column 既 value 再隊入去 另一個 table 當 parameter

係乜都用左大 join 先 唔o岩用 ? 日期大過 effective date 既 cost ? join 左先啦

最後先 filter

唔理架 乜都 join 十幾萬 record 大溶爐先 最後想要咩 record 先慢慢 filter

A1 單要配 某個日子既 cost ?

A1(which is Date3)-Cost1 Date1 A1(which is Date3)-Cost2 Date2 A1(which is Date3)-Cost3 Date3

join 晒先 再啄走唔要個d 留翻一個 係我夠知 A1 – Date3 先o岩 你 join 左再用 on 去啄 如果唔係有乜法 je~

SUM() subquery in select clause

SUM 最重要還是 where clause select + where = filter select + sum() + where = satisfy 以前細個學又話叫 filter … 其實我覺得叫 satisfy 好d

又所以 我發覺 sum() subquery in select clause, group by 係唔需要:

select a, b, (select sum(xxx) where [CONDITION] 這裡放 group by 無用) as yyy, …

select …(select sum(xxx) where sth)只能回一個 single row , 唔係就會 error, 所以個 where clause 要俾夠 info 去砌到得翻一個 rowgroup by 本身 for multiple row 去教 table 點 group … 但 single row 其實就無必要

我開頭以為 sum() 既 logic 係 define 係 group by which is 錯既 … 但原來都係放係 where 到

有時我蠢 要人地解點解要整新功能 去解決緊咩問題 之 map/reduce in js for play with json/data

https://rangle.io/blog/map-reducing-the-pain-of-dealing-with-arrays/

map: But it’s not really a way of dealing with arrays. It’s about mapping one value into a new value, and getting the same type back.

So the takeaway is that you don’t have to care if map loops or not, or how it loops, or in some languages how many threads it uses. If you are using a map method on an array, or on a library Promise or Observable, or anything else, it will do what it has to do to transform the value(s), and give you back the same type, so that you can keep calling map on the result.

entrypoint.sh:

some code for entrypoint ...
exec "$@"

using exec, the start.sh (as parameter) will run

    class NoteMessage: Message { let content: String

    init(content: String, theUser: String)
    {
        self.content = content
        super.init(sender: theUser)
        //Error!:  Must call a designated initializer of the superclass 'Message'
    }
}

如何理解 swift 既 ? 同 !

如何理解 swift 既 ? 同 !

假設有 Class 叫 Animal

Animal? 並不要好似網上d tutorial 話 一係有一係 nil 咁理解

不如你當佢係未知的禮物 type 咁理解 (inspired by wrapped / unwrapped)

Animal? 有兩個狀態 1: S<Type> 或者 2: nil

唔係 nil 就可以打開佢, 打開左先係以前我地認識既 var

呢個世界有 3 個方法去打開禮物包

  1. ! 強行打開

  2. if let abc = xyz { } 禮物打開咪做下面d logic

  3. abc?.function() 有咪行個 function 囉

as? as! 都類似

as! 有機會 nil -> runtime error

as? 就要用 if let 幫幫手

if let animalSelectedNode = selectedNode as? AnimalSpriteNode {

Debug Command for unix n windows of networking, ip, firewall, port forwarding

Re: SSH to Debian Guest from Windows host via Putty Postby noteirak » 19. May 2013, 11:24

Run the following on the host : CODE: SELECT ALL EXPAND VIEW ipconfig /all route print arp -a netstat -an | find “LISTENING” netsh advfirewall show allprofiles

Run the following in the guest : CODE: SELECT ALL EXPAND VIEW sudo ifconfig -a sudo route sudo arp sudo netstat -lnp sudo iptables -L -n -v

and in virtualbox, if u opening port for flask, pls use 0.0.0.0
or ensure the port forwarding is go to 127.0.0.1 in your VM

my python flask deploy flow

How to update python api sudo su deploy

cd /home/deploy/your-python-project
git pull
source ../py3.4/bin/activate
python setup.py bdist_egg
easy_install dist/<python_proj.egg>
alembic upgrade head
uwsgi –reload ~/uwsgi.pid

git download the src code -> (env) -> pack it into egg -> using easy_install to install the python egg -> update db migration -> restart server

my 幻想 docker flow

  • just write your code first, without docker
  • git push your application when you can first deploy
  • create a docker image, in dockerFile or init of your image, git clone the lastest code
  • pack it into image
  • for old machine, update the container with new image
  • one application one docker
  • mysql no need include in docker, and it should not go into a separate docker. just find a machine or one of a machine to run it.

Server Deployment Common Practice

User

  • You has a admin user call your name. Say roychung for me. And other admin has own account too.
  • A user call deploy or your service name for the main service of your written code. It should not be a sudoer. And suppose you cannot login via ssh.
  • For different service, may be redis. You may consider to open an account for it too.
  • So how to deploy to the deploy user? You may consider using sudo su deploy
  • Using Fabric for deployment, login with your own admin account and sudo su make your life easier when there are several server
  • Using redis as example, you may use sudo to install redis (or using redis user install on it home folder), but running redis command will be using that redis user. So other user can modify it without knowing your account

music player in background ios

Solution 1. MPMusicPlayer ipodPlayer

it is actually calling the ipod player, which it is not related to the app anymore. Easy implement, 但有時 load 得多歌 會有d lag, 超建議開多個 tableView 做, 可以 store 住d mediaItemCollection, 因為呢個 framework 係唔會 交返d mediaItemCollection 你, 除非你用 hidden private API

Solution 2. AVPlayer with MPRemoteCommandCenter and MPNowPlayingInfoCenter

you can implement like this. Good Point is the music playing will also appear in the universal toolbar (the bottom one), and click one it, it will show yr app instead of ipod Music. Bad Point is no itunes cloud music can play, and many feature need to implement yrself, 連 previous 都好似無, shuffle 都有d 難做, 但用個d remoteCommand , 下面d 制都可以用, 同埋 用 nowplayinginfocenter 可以 改個 lock screen 個d song info. 無記錯呢個方法要改少少 plist, 有 background audio, 如果做完前者, 出 app無 聲, 試下

MPMusicPlayer ApplicationPlayer is a good choice 如果你想只播歌係你個 app 入面, 因為一出 app 就會 收聲

UIBarButtonItem title 入 nil 唔好入 @””

用 code 整 nav button … 如果無 title 就入 nil … 入 @”” … 佢會因為其他有 component 郁 而 會移動並出現在 strange position

錯的

                                                               style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain

對的
UIBarButtonItem *menuButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:nil
                                                               style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain

property inheritance in ios

http://bhapca.blogspot.hk/2012/11/how-to-access-backing-ivars-for.html

How to access backing ivars for inherited properties in Objective-C
I had a superclass that declared and synthesized a read only property, meant to be set in its subclasses. The code was something like this:

@interface A : NSObject
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSUInteger prop;
@end

@implementation A
@synthesize prop = _prop;
@end

@interface B : A
@end

@implementation B

  • (void)establishValueForProp
    {
    _prop = 1; // PROBLEM !!!
    }

@end

The instance variable backing the property seemed to be invisible in the subclass. The error was pretty unclear when compiling an iOS app: “Use of undeclared identifier ‘_prop'”. To get around the error I did the following:

@interface A : NSObject {
NSUInteger _prop;
}
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSUInteger prop;
@end

That is, I explicitly declared the backing variable in the declaration of the superclass.

Interestingly, when I was preparing this blog post I compiled the code above as a “Command Line Tool” type of project, not an iOS app. The error was different, dare I say better, more telling of the root cause: “Instance variable ‘_prop’ is private”. So it’s a matter of the visibility of the ivar, so perhaps a better fix would be:

@interface A : NSObject {
@protected
NSUInteger _prop;
}
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSUInteger prop;
@end

Kind of interesting though that properties are synthesized by default as private ivars. Learned something new.

Thank your Bogdan for your solution. I found that you can also synthesize in subclass in order to solve this problem.

@implementation B

@synthesize prop = _prop;

  • (void)establishValueForProp
    {
    _prop = 1; // Working !!!
    }

@end

debug YES becoz u only want to build in your testing device (or compile too long time and waste the other arch build)

Masonry in ios

constraints is funny

if u use Masonry or updateConstraints to a UIView, may no reaction till u drag one constraints to it…

Becoz

  1. storyboard default has constraints already (if u dun drag any) it just the current frame be the constraints (if u tick autolayout which is usually ticked)
  2. when u drag the constraints, it override
  3. when u code using Masonry or constrains programming, it override

But sometimes it will say broken, becoz the constraints jammed… so… one solution: http://img.thissoso.com/img/2/cee33f4f55e0.png

it will ignore all the storyboard constraints, so u can use the coding one now.

Thx so much for u reading this email (though u dun solve my problem)

========================================================================================================================

I just reinstall the whole things. and turn off “shared: False” in cabal config when face this linkage problem. This will turn off the linkage dynamic lib of apple , i think the problem is occur by here. And harmtrace can be succeed install.

And i try to install virtualbox and install an ubuntu image. It just install successfully and smoothly. (so i think linux is better … )

[ios] audio conversion using AVAssetExportSession / AVAssetWriter from AVFoundation

Target : ipod library -> aiff / wav / caf (which eat by libsndfile (already ported to ios))

first, i think AVAssetExportSession can solve my problem due to this link:

http://tuchangwei.github.io/blog/2013/06/04/how-to-export-mp3-from-ipod-library/

but it is for converted-to-mp3 only (or converted-to-m4a)

(Trick :

Some points you need notice:
when you init AVAssetExportSession object, the “presetName” argument must be “AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough”.
The “outputFileType” may be “com.apple.quicktime-movie”.

And rename to mp3)

why i know it is for mov or m4a

if u write :
NSLog(@”export.supportedFileTypes : %@”,export.supportedFileTypes);

u will get:
exporter.supportedFileTypes : (
“com.apple.quicktime-movie”,
“com.apple.m4a-audio”,
“public.mpeg-4”,
“com.apple.m4v-video”,
“public.3gpp”,
“org.3gpp.adaptive-multi-rate-audio”,
“com.microsoft.waveform-audio”,
“public.aiff-audio”,
“public.aifc-audio”,
“com.apple.coreaudio-format”
)

but it is only telling u these type exporter can convert
in api:
Discussion
Not all presets are compatible with all assets.

So after i run
NSLog(@”%@”, [AVAssetExportSession exportPresetsCompatibleWithAsset:songAsset]);
2014-05-27 18:29:35.792 Jtab[1723:60b] (
AVAssetExportPresetAppleM4A,
AVAssetExportPreset960x540,
AVAssetExportPresetLowQuality,
AVAssetExportPresetMediumQuality,
AVAssetExportPreset640x480,
AVAssetExportPresetHighestQuality,
AVAssetExportPreset1280x720
)

only m4a is available (and mp3 using mov one)
whatever your ipod library song is mp3, m4a, wav (i tried)
so it is fail

And note that using AVAssetExportSession, the output extension is concerned, if type != extension will error

So i go to other solution AVAssetWriter:

wav example:
http://objective-audio.jp/2010/09/avassetreaderavassetwriter.html

wav example:
http://iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/62807-export-audio-as-m4a-alac.html

caf example:

strong vs retain and weak vs assign and blah blah blah

After reading so many articles, SO posts and demo apps to check variable property attributes, I decided to put all the attributes information together:

atomic //default
nonatomic
strong=retain //default
weak
retain
assign //default
unsafe_unretained
copy
readonly
readwrite //default
Below is the detailed article link where you can find above mentioned all attributes, that will definitely help you. Many thanks to all the people who give best answers here!!

Variable property attributes or Modifiers in iOS

1.strong (iOS4 = retain )

it says “keep this in the heap until I don’t point to it anymore”
in other words ” I’am the owner, you cannot dealloc this before aim fine with that same as retain”
You use strong only if you need to retain the object.
By default all instance variables and local variables are strong pointers.
We generally use strong for UIViewControllers (UI item’s parents)
strong is used with ARC and it basically helps you , by not having to worry about the retain count of an object. ARC automatically releases it for you when you are done with it.Using the keyword strong means that you own the object.
Example:

@property (strong, nonatomic) ViewController *viewController;

@synthesize viewController;
2.weak –

it says “keep this as long as someone else points to it strongly”
the same thing as assign, no retain or release
A “weak” reference is a reference that you do not retain.
We generally use weak for IBOutlets (UIViewController’s Childs).This works because the child object only needs to exist as long as the parent object does.
a weak reference is a reference that does not protect the referenced object from collection by a garbage collector.
Weak is essentially assign, a unretained property. Except the when the object is deallocated the weak pointer is automatically set to nil
Example :

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *myButton;

@synthesize myButton;
Strong & Weak Explanation:

Imagine our object is a dog, and that the dog wants to run away (be deallocated). Strong pointers are like a leash on the dog. As long as you have the leash attached to the dog, the dog will not run away. If five people attach their leash to one dog, (five strong pointers to one object), then the dog will not run away until all five leashes are detached. Weak pointers, on the other hand, are like little kids pointing at the dog and saying “Look! A dog!” As long as the dog is still on the leash, the little kids can still see the dog, and they’ll still point to it. As soon as all the leashes are detached, though, the dog runs away no matter how many little kids are pointing to it. As soon as the last strong pointer (leash) no longer points to an object, the object will be deallocated, and all weak pointers will be zeroed out. When we use weak? The only time you would want to use weak, is if you wanted to avoid retain cycles (e.g. the parent retains the child and the child retains the parent so neither is ever released).

3.retain = strong

it is retained, old value is released and it is assigned retain specifies the new value should be sent
retain on assignment and the old value sent -release
retain is the same as strong.
apple says if you write retain it will auto converted/work like strong only.
methods like “alloc” include an implicit “retain”
Example:

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *name;

@synthesize name;
4.assign

assign is the default and simply performs a variable assignment
assign is a property attribute that tells the compiler how to synthesize the property’s setter implementation
I would use assign for C primitive properties and weak for weak references to Objective-C objects.
Example:

@property (nonatomic, assign) NSString *address;

@synthesize address;

cannot get position, or cell reuse animation cannot control

if u r doing AVAudioPlayer, and u grep currentTime, if u wanna has a more accurate time, it cannot do it … since it is quite discrete (for compress song like mp3) … so

CACurrentMediaTime() may help u

beginTime = CACurrentMediaTime()

… some animation …

animateTime = CACurrentMediaTime() – beginTime

so i have some value can calculate the view if the animation wanna pause in the middle

(too complicated animation recommend use CAKeyFrameAnimation)

[ios] declare const

1. private

myfile.m
NSString *const SelectionSort = @”SelectionSort”;

2. public

myfile.h
extern NSString *const SelectionSort;
and in myfile.m define them

myfile.m
NSString *const SelectionSort = @”SelectionSort”;

It works, but only if you need a non global constant. Static constant is not visible outside the file. Otherwise use the 1st option.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6188672/where-do-you-declare-constant-in-objective-c

============================================

The #define is a pre-processor macro. That means that it basically goes through your code and replace your macro with what you’ve defined.

If you use a const, it’s going to be a pointer to the string in memory. It’s way more efficient than having the same string being allocated wherever/whenever it is used.

To do that, you’ll need both .h and .m files. Your .h file will look something like:

extern NSString * const YOUR_STRING;
And your .m file:

NSString * const YOUR_STRING = @”your string”;

no need Class.THIS_IS_A_CONST , just THIS_IS_A_CONST then ok

===============================================

把NSString宣告為常數
錯誤的宣告方式
會出現warning:(Sending ‘const NSString *__strong’ to parameter of type ‘NSString *’ discards qualifiers)
.h
extern NSString * SelectionSort;
.m
const NSString *InsertionSort = @”SelectionSort”;

正確的宣告方式
.h
extern NSString *const SelectionSort;
.m
NSString *const SelectionSort = @”SelectionSort”;

UICollectionView 的心路歷程

project 是寫一個 guitar chord + music player
data 只有 那些 chord, 我的 project 就是要 用 cell 一格格的跟住音樂 著燈

1. using UICollectionView
problem 1: offset
因為我用了 endTime – startTime, 原來會累積 一些 error ，導致後面不準

problem 2: UICollectionView reloaditemsAtIndexPath 有 animation 在閃
求其 set 了 就繼續做
[UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO];

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14094684/avoid-animation-of-uicollectionview-after-reloaditemsatindexpaths

到第一個 deadline : 發現這兩問題

首先要解決閃的問題，因為 setAnimationsEnabled:NO 會令到 needle (音樂器的秒數指標)

solution 1 : 用了 PSTCollectionView ，改 src code, 熄了那 .3 的 animation
但用舊野可能有後遺症
所以轉了第二個 function

用 reloadData , 其實是整幅 cells reload
壞處是不能有 animation 在其中，不斷 call 的話，scroll 也不能
visibleCells 也有不準的情況 (其實放在 reload 前 就會o岩了)

offset 問題，本想用 ticker 可處理
每 0.01 秒去 發 notification 和 cells 對話
cells 轉自己的 isCurrentChord = YES 同埋
call delegate (viewController) 話邊粒係 current
本應很好，但 0.01 秒去 call 一個 reload function
call reloadData 還好，call reloaditemsAtIndexPath 簡直炒晒
因為 refresh 得太密, scroll 要自己設計，click 亦不能，此路不通

solution 3 : 返回基本步，用 UICollectionView ，仍覺得閃可以解決，使用了
[UIView animateWithDuration:0 animations:^{
[collectionView performBatchUpdates:^{
[collectionView reloadItemsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths];
} completion:nil];
}];

needle 仍舊不能動

好友提議下，將 endTime – startTime 改成 currentCell.startTime – musicPlayer.currentTime 做 timer interval
currentIndex++ after one timer trigger

offset 問題解決了，誤差不會再 stack 上去, 就算有誤差，都係本身一個 cell 的極少誤差

reloadItemsAtIndexPaths 不能用，唯有用 relaodData
注意 reloadData 係 async 的
亦 rmb use layoutIfNeeded 去 trigger update
但因為無用 ticker, 小心處理動畫問題，用起上來蠻方便的

[magento] debugging ? open css hint

need some tricks:

http://www.redlightblinking.com/blog/magento-debugging-how-to-debug-template-paths-logging-and-display-errors

MAGENTO DEBUGGING – HOW TO DEBUG TEMPLATE PATHS, LOGGING AND DISPLAY ERRORS
Categories: Blog, Magento
Developing in Magento without these debugging tips can be challenging! Here is how you can debug magento:

Turn on Template Path Hints
Turn on error/system logging
Turn on SQL logging
Display PHP errors

Turn on Template Path Hints

Would you like to see the path of the file that is producing the HTML for each block on the page?

1. Log into the admin

2. Goto -> System ->Configuration, and on the bottom of the list select “Developer”

3. click on Debug – you will only see “Profiler”. Here is the trick – you have to switch the “Current Configuration Scope:” [in the upper left] to a website instead of default. Select “Main Website”.

4. Now you will see the selection for Template Path Hints – check yes. This will display the path of the template for each block of the page so you can find stuff! You can also choose to “Add Block Names to Hints” to see the corresponding model class for the block.

Turn on error/system logging

1. In the admin Goto -> System ->Configuration, and on the bottom of the list select “Developer”

2. Select the Log Settings tab and put Enabled = Yes

3. *to avoid any permissions issues, create folder/file

/var/log/system.log

Turn on SQL logging

To enable SQL Debugging find the file

/lib/Varien/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Mysql.php

change line 45
protected $_debug = false;

to
protected $_debug = true;

It will then generate the file var/debug/sql.txt.

*If you have any issues create this file manually first…

Display PHP errors

Frustrated you can’t see your PHP errors? This is how you turn them on – for development use only, don’t do this on a production site!

In Index.php change

Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true);

ini_set(‘display_errors’, 1);

mac freeze login steam

You should now be able to see the Steam folder, and the registry.vdf file inside that. Simply rename the file, or delete the full stop so that Steam doesn’t recognise the file (you can delete the file, but best to rename first as if this fails, you might want to be able to revert back).

Once the file has been renamed, you should be able to start up Steam and get back online. Note: if the above fails, try following all of the steps again but rather than starting up Steam, re-install it instead.

Worked for me – I’m now back online.

活用 CI log to know a model is loaded

You can use the log_message() function and put it in the constructor, so it will be executed when it initiated

Put this in your model’s constructor (parent::Model())

log_message (“debug”, “Yourmodel is loaded”);
don’t forget to set the log config to debug mode, see the config.php file

$config[‘log_threshold’] = 2;
And set the system/logs directory permission to writable (by default CI will create the log files here)

or set the logs directory in another dir

$config[‘log_path’] = ‘another/directory/logs/’;
CI will then create the log file in the directory. monitor the log files as you like. You can get the debug message to see if your model is already loaded or not in the log files.

FLEX module的使用(转载)

1 ModuleLoader组件概述
1.1Module技术简介
flex的Modules技术是可以被flex程序使用的一个swf文件，它不能脱离程序独立运行，但是多个程序之间可以共享它。
flex的Modules技术将应用程序分割成小块、模块，主程序动态的加载所需要的模块。主程序在启动时并不全部加载所有的模块。当用户和模块没有交互的时候它不需要加载模块，同时它在模块不需要的时候可以卸载模块并释放内存和资源。[1]

flex的Modules技术主要有如下的优点：
让swf文件初始下载尺寸更小
让加载时间更短
对应用程序更好的封装性

1.2ModuleLoader组件功能
ModuleLoader组件是一种可视化的组件，方便开发人员在运行期间动态地加载和卸载module。
注：加载：从服务器下载到浏览器中

1.3 ModuleLoader类的继承关系
包：mx.modules[2]
ModuleLoaderInheritanceVBoxInheritanceBoxInheritanceContainerInheritanceUIComponent
注：ModuleLoader类暂无spark组件

相关类：
* IModuleInfo – module接口，所有的module都实现了此接口，可以提供module信息，比如url 和 加载状态。
* Module – 基于MXML的module的基类
* ModuleBase –基于ActionScript的module基类
* ModuleManager –一个系统只有一个此类，用于管理所有动态加载的module
* ModuleEvent – module相关事件

1.4 相似组件
(1)SWFLoader
ModuleLoader与swfLoader组件功能相同
ModuleLoader要求加载的SWF文件必须实现接口IFlexModuleFactory，这样，ModuleLoader通过工厂模式可以根据需要创建多个实例。
swfLoaderr组件对于SWF文件没有任何要求。

(2)ViewStack
ModuleLoader与ViewStack的作用比较类似，都用于加载多个不同模块。
ModuleLoader只能加载module，而且一次只能从服务器加载一个。ModuleLoader不必在初始化时携带加载所有的孩子组件，节省了下载量。
ViewStack一次加载多个容器，比如panel,cavas，但是可以延时初始化，以提高速度。ViewStack必须下载所有孩子组件后，只对当前使用的孩子组件进行初始化，加快显示速度。

(3)ModuleManager
ModuleLoader组件提供了可视化的加载和卸载module的操作。
ModuleManager类提供了低层次的处理Module的装载卸载以及事件响应等方法。这种方式比起纯粹的 ModuleLoader方式稍微复杂一点，但是ModuleManager提供了比ModuleLoader更加强大的能力来管理Module模块的加 载过程。

(4)RSL
RSL和module都是代码独立和复用机制[3]
Modules被编译到SWF文件内，可以加载和卸载
类库被编译到SWC文件内，可以在编译期间使用并编译到application中，并在application运行前加载

3 ModuleLoader使用方法
3.1 通过URL自动加载module和Alert使用举例
功能说明
通过loadModule加载外部的WelcomeModule，点击module中的alert，显示欢迎

关键代码
ModuleLoaderExam1.mxml


说明：
(1)如果在module中使用Alert，必须声明PopUpManager，并且实例化，原因未知。
(2) creationComplete事件表示，当加载完成时，将当前应用程序的域赋给module1，这个语句可以不加，为防万一，最好加上。

ModuleExam1.mxml
protected function openAlert_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
Alert.show(“欢迎”, “欢迎点击Alert”, Alert.OK, this);
}

代码详见：ModuleLoaderExam1.mxml和ModuleExam1.mxml

3.2手工加载和卸载module举例
功能说明
通过设置URL属性，手工加载和卸载module
函数说明：loadModule (url:String = null, bytes:ByteArray = null):void
url：默认为null，表示当前要加载的module的URL，如果ModuleLoader的URL不为null，则该方法无效
bytes：module的SWF文件的字节数，可以通过URLLoader类获取

关键代码
ModuleLoaderExam2.mxml
public function loadModule21():void
{
if(mod_loader.url==null)
mod_loader.url = “example/ModuleExam21.swf”;
}
public function loadModule22():void
{
mod_loader.loadModule(“example/ModuleExam22.swf”);
}
public function unload():void
{
mod_loader.unloadModule();
mod_loader.url = null;//注意，卸载完成后必须设置URL为null，否则内存泄露
}

说明：
(1)mod_loader.url的值被修改后，直接触发重新加载module，不必再调用loadModule方法
(2) mod_loader.url = null;必须在卸载完成后加上，否则内存泄露

代码详见：ModuleLoaderExam2.mxml、ModuleExam21.mxml和ModuleExam22.mxml

3.3 module常用事件举例
功能说明
演示常用事件的处理，module的常用事件包括
Error：加载错误时引发
Ready：加载完成后引发
Progress：加载过程中定时引发
Unload：卸载完成后引发

关键代码
ModuleLoaderExam3.mxml

protected function mod_loader_errorHandler(event:ModuleEvent):void
{
lbRecord.text=lbRecord.text+”n error:”+event.module.url;
}
protected function mod_loader_readyHandler(event:ModuleEvent):void
{
lbRecord.text=lbRecord.text+”n ready:”+event.bytesLoaded+”bytes:”+event.bytesTotal;
}
protected function mod_loader_progressHandler(event:ModuleEvent):void
{
lbRecord.text=lbRecord.text+”n progress:”+event.bytesLoaded+”bytes:”+event.bytesTotal;
}
protected function mod_loader_unloadHandler(event:ModuleEvent):void
{
lbRecord.text=lbRecord.text+”n unload:”+event.bytesLoaded+”bytes:”+event.bytesTotal;
}
代码详见：ModuleLoaderExam3.mxml、ModuleExam21.mxml和ModuleExam22.mxml

3.4 Application调用module中的方法举例
功能说明
演示Application程序如何调用module中的方法
Application并不能直接访问module提供的方法，而是通过moduleLoader中的属性child来完成的。

关键代码
ModuleLoaderExam4.mxml

private function getTitle():void {
s = (m1.child as ModuleExam4).getModTitle();
}

ModuleExam4.mxml
public function getModTitle():String {
return “Child Module 1”;
}
说明：
(m1.child as ModuleExam4).getModTitle()，表示将m1中的属性child对应的对象强制转换为ModuleExam4类，再调用这个对象的方法。

代码详见：ModuleLoaderExam4.mxml和ModuleExam4.mxml

3.5 通过ModuleLoader的URL向module传递参数举例
功能说明
通过URL属性向module传递参数
GET参数基本上是这种格式，url=module1.swf?param1=value1&param2=value2

关键代码
ModuleLoaderExam5.mxml
public function submitToModule():void {
var s:String = “example/ModuleExam5.swf?”
+ “firstName=” +ti1.text + “&lastName=” + ti2.text;
m1.url = s;
}

ModuleExam5.mxml
//对参数进行过滤
var myPattern:RegExp = /.*?/;
var s:String = this.loaderInfo.url.toString();
s = s.replace(myPattern, “”);
// 通过&拆分成数组name=value，保存为String类型数据
var params:Array = s.split(“&”);
// 显示数组中各个元素的值
var keyStr:String;
var valueStr:String;
var paramObj:Object = params;
for (keyStr in paramObj) {
valueStr = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
ta1.text += keyStr + “:” + valueStr + “n”; //keyStr的值为0。1.2…
}
// 通过=拆分各个元素，并保存到变量salutation中
for (var i:int = 0; i < params.length; i++) { var tempA:Array = params[i].split("="); if (tempA[0] == "firstName") { o.firstName = tempA[1]; } if (tempA[0] == "lastName") { o.lastName = tempA[1]; } } 代码详见：ModuleLoaderExam5.mxml和ModuleExam5.mxml 3.6利用ActionScript接口实现Module与Application数据交互举例 功能说明 对于Module模块和Application对象间的通信，可以定义一个ActionScript接口，Module模块对象实现了这个接口中定义的方 法和属性，那么Application就可以访问这个接口中定义的属性和方法。接口中定义了Module模块对象和Application需要共享的数据 和方法，是两者间共同的一个契约，同时也实现了接口和实现的分离，达到了松耦合的目的。 接口类IModuleInterface.as： public interface IModuleInterface extends IEventDispatcher { function getModuleName():String; function setAdjusterID(s:String):void; function setBackgroundColor(n:Number):void; } ModuleExam6.mxml 模块必须实现以上接口，代码如下
public function setAdjusterID(s:String):void {
adjuster = s;
}
public function setBackgroundColor(n:Number):void {
bgcolor = n;
}
public function getModuleName():String {
return “module Insurance”;
}
说明：
这个module实现了接口中的三个方法。

ModuleLoaderExam6.mxml
private function applyModuleSettings(e:Event):void {
// m1.child 是接口IModuleInterface的具体实现对象
//var ichild:* = mod.child as IModuleInterface;
var ichild:IModuleInterface = m1.child as IModuleInterface;
if (m1.child != null) {
ichild.setAdjusterID(myId.text);
ichild.setBackgroundColor(myColor.selectedColor);
}
//从接口获取模块的名称
currentModuleName = ichild.getModuleName();
}
说明：
Application通过接口中的方法setAdjusterID和setBackgroundColor向module传递数据，
Module通过接口中的方法getModuleName向Application传递数据
代码详见：ModuleLoaderExam6.mxml、ModuleExam6.mxml和IModuleInterface.as

3.8 Module与Module之间数据交互举例
功能说明
一个Application如果具有两个Module，这两个Module可以通过Application传递数据。原理如下：




在module1中，你可以通过以下方法访问module2的属性和方法
parentApplication.module2.child.someProperty;
parentApplication.module2.child.someMethod();

关键代码
ModuleLoaderExam7.mxml

ModuleExam71.mxml
[Bindable]
public var m1:String=”module1″;
public function getProperty(event:MouseEvent):void {
lbmodule2.text=parentApplication.module2.child.m2;
}
public function getMethod(event:MouseEvent):void {
lbmodule2.text=parentApplication.module2.child.getModuleName();
}



说明
getProperty函数功能：直接访问module2中的属性m2
getMethod函数功能：通过调用module2中的函数getModuleName获取文本输入框的值

ModuleExam72.mxml
[Bindable]
public var m2:String=”module2″;
public function getModuleName():String {
return lbmodule2.text;
}

说明
m2与lbmodule2之间的绑定是单向的，修改m2的值，则改变lbmodule2的text，修改lbmodule2的值并不影响m2的值
代码详见：ModuleLoaderExam7.mxml、ModuleExam71.mxml和ModuleExam72.mxml

3.9 applicationDomain属性举例
功能说明
ApplicationDomain 类是一个容器，用于管理不同swf的安全域和类之间的关系。它们允许同一个类存在不同的ApplicationDomain。
ApplicationDomain是一个树形结构，Application所在的域(以下简称主域)就是它唯一的子域，使用Loader类加载swf时可以通过指定ApplicationDomain 参数将swf加载到不同的域(Domain)。
ApplicationDomain最根部的是系统域(system domain)，主程序所在的域(以下简称主域)就是它唯一的子域。SWF 文件中的所有代码被定义为存在于应用程序域(ApplicationDomain)中。主应用程序在”当前域”中运行。”系统域”中包含所有应用程序域 （包括当前域），也就是，它包含所有 Flash Player 类。
所有应用程序域（除系统域外）都有关联的父域。主应用程序的应用程序域的父域是系统域。已加载的类仅在其父级中没有相关定义时才进行定义。不能用较新的定义覆盖已加载类的定义。

有两种方式可以访问 ApplicationDomain :
(1)ApplicationDomain.currentDomain
currentDomain是ApplicationDomain的静态变量，表示当前代码所在的域。例如：该变量在主程序里指向主域，在加载到子域的模块里和currentDomain则指向该模块所在的子域。
参见例3.1，通过URL自动加载module和Alert使用举例

虽然 ApplicationDomain有个 parentDomain 属性，但子域已经自动获得了父域的类定义，所以通过 ApplicationDomain.currentDomain 就可以获取父域定义了——包括主程序和加载到主域的共享库。(注：系统域不可直接访问，主域和所有新域即系统域子域的parentDomain属性为 null)
参见例3.8，Module与Module之间数据交互举例

(2)LoaderInfo类的applicationDomain属性
此方式可以访问任何方式加载的swf的 ApplicationDomain。对于主程序来说，加载到同域的库定义已经存在于 ApplicationDomain.currentDomain ，而模块的类主程序一般用不到。所以这种方式个人不推荐使用。
使用Loader类加载swf时可以通过指定 ApplicationDomain参数将swf加载到不同的域(Domain):
var loader : Loader = new Loader();
var context : LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
/* 加载到子域(模块) */
context.applicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
/* 加载到同域(共享库) */
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
/* 加载到新域(独立运行的程序或模块) */
context.applicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain();
loader.load(new URLRequest(“loaded.swf”), context);

(1)加载到子域(module)—参见图中的用法C
类似于“继承”，子域可以直接获得父域所有的类定义，反之父域得不到子域的。和继承关系不同的是，如果子域中有和父域同名的类，子域定义的类会被忽略而使用父域的定义的类。最大特点是可以动态的加载和移除。便于垃圾回收。
context.applicationDomain = new
ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
说明创建一个新的域，并变成当前域的子域

(2)加载到同域(RSL) —参见图中的用法B
就是在当前的ApplicationDomain添加新的类定义。类似集合里的合并关系。被加载swf里的所有类定义被合并到当前域中可以直接使用。和加载到子域相同，和当前域同名的定义也会被忽略。
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;

(3)加载到新域(独立运行的程序或模块) —参见图中的用法A
用的不是很多，实际上是单独的创建一个新的域和当前应用程序域平级。作为系统域的真子集。
swf载入指定域之前，先要检查该域及其父域中是否存在同名类，重复定义一概忽略。如果加载别人写的程序，或者使用旧版本的主程序加载新版本的模块，为避免类名冲突就要加载到新域独立运行以使用自己的类。
context.applicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain();
loader.load(new URLRequest(“loaded.swf”), context);
说明：创建了一个新的域，并加载到独立的程序loaded.swf中。

模块加载到同域不是一样可以吗？为何要加载到子域呢？
好处就在于，卸载一个加载到子域的模块时，只要确保清除所有到该模块的引用，模块的所有类定义将被垃圾回收(Garbage Collection)。

关键代码
ApplicationDomain中的currentDomain属性使用参见例3.1
ApplicationDomain中的parrentDomain属性使用参见例3.8

3.10 module中使用PopUpManager和DragManager异常说明
通常将module加载为主域的一个子域，module里面的类都不属于主域的。比如第一个module载入了类PopUpManager，那么整合到 Application中，它就成了PopUpManager的拥有者，因为像这种manager都是单例的，如果另外一个模块稍后要使用这个 PopUpManager，就会引发运行时异常。
解决办法就是确保这些managers，比如PopUpManager和DragManager或者其他一些共享的服务是在application中定义的，这样就能确保所有模块都能够使用，代码如下：
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.managers.DragManager;
private var popUpManager:PopUpManager;
private var dragManager:DragManager;

这项技术同时也被应用到组件中，当module第一次使用组件时，将在它自己的域中拥有这些组件的类定义。如果别的module试图使用这些已经被另一个 module使用的组件，它的定义将会不能匹配到现存的定义中。因此，为了避免组件的定义不匹配，在主应用程序中创建组件的实例，让所有的module去 引用。
但是这个坏处很明显，这些声明看起来莫名其妙，成为了一个个”木偶变量”。另一个解决方法是借助 ApplicationDomain 来共享这些代码和资源。在ModuleLoader 的creationComplete方法中加入moduleLoader.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain; 表示将其加载到运行时库。对于使用ModuleManager，则可以在IModuleInfo的load方法里指定域。

solve module load in flex, getStyle problem

Flex App 直接引用外部 Module 的問題
最近同事遇到一個 Flex 問題，只要 Module 內放了其它組件
執行就會出現各種奇怪 Error
後來發現是因為在 Main Application 直接引用編譯到 Module Class
然後又企圖用 ModuleLoader 再載入一次相同的 Module SWF
當然這樣做是錯誤的範例，Flash Builder 也會給予警告

Warning: Mod is a module or application that is directly referenced.
This will cause Mod and all of its dependencies to be linked in with MainApp.
Using an interface is the recommended practice to avoid this.

不要明確引用就正常了
不過還是覺得有點不合理，至少應該能正常執行吧

譬如以下的例子 MainApp.mxml










直接引用到外部 Module，又企圖載入一次同一個外部 Module – Mod.mxml





隨著 Module 內放置組件不同，可能會得到以下各種錯誤訊息

Flex ModuleLoader 預設載入外部 Module 時
是會從目前 ApplicationDomain 建立一個 child ApplicationDomain 作為載入之用
也就是說假如 Main App 已經包含一份 Module 定義
再載入同名類別，就會被前面的類別定義覆蓋
實際上，被 new 出來的實體其實是 Main App 內定義的

假如兩份定義完全一樣，應該也是要能正常執行吧
問題就是出在這裡了，用 ASV 分別去觀察兩個 SWF 內的 Module 類別
發現是不一樣的！

當 Flex Module 編譯為獨立 SWF 時
MXMLC Compiler 會塞入一些額外的 Metadata Tag, Code… 做初始化
可是 MainApp 內的 Module 定義少了這些動作，導致無法正常執行

解決的方式不難，ModuleLoader Ready 時
自己手動執行一下關鍵的初始動作就好了 – styleManager.initProtoChainRoots();

wtf bitmapData

SWF 13+ (Flash Player 11, AIR 3) the practical limit is the amount of memory available. (The theoretical limit to width or height is the largest positive integer — divided by 20 to allow for twips, but you will hit memory limits long before reaching this size.)
SWF 10 (Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5) the maximum size for a BitmapData object is 8,191 pixels in width or height, and the total number of pixels cannot exceed 16,777,215 pixels. (So, if a BitmapData object is 8,191 pixels wide, it can only be 2,048 pixels high.)
SWF 9 (Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1) the limitation is 2,880 pixels in height and 2,880 pixels in width. If you specify a width or height value that is greater than 2880, a new instance is not created.

Flash Player 11 is very good 🙂
Flash Player 10 need alchemy 🙁
Flash Player 9 no byteArray, so no need think of playing dynamic image processing :((

by pass as3 8191px problem

Core Concept : Dun draw in bitmap

Example:
in urUploader, Thumbnail can over 8191px, loadBytes is according to file size, so if file size too large, yr machine will hang.

[as3]private function genThumbnail():void {
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.loadBytes(transcodeManager.baAlchemy);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onThumbnailComplete);
}

private function onThumbnailComplete(e:Event):void {
var b:Bitmap = MCUtil.scaledImage(Bitmap(e.target.content).bitmapData, new ThumbnailLayout().width);
_thumbnail.addChild(b);

var data:Object = { uploadJob : this };
dispatchEvent(new UploadJobEvent(UploadJobEvent.THUMBNAIL_GENERATED, data));
}

[/as3]
This is the scale function, so after scale to small size, now can draw 🙂

[as3]public static function scaledImage(bd:BitmapData, s:Number = 120) : Bitmap
{
var newWidth:Number;
var newHeight:Number;
var result:BitmapData;
var bitmap:BitmapData = bd;
var size:Number = s;
var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
try
{
if (bitmap.width > bitmap.height)
{
newWidth = size;
newHeight = bitmap.height * (size / bitmap.width);
}
else
{
newHeight = size;
newWidth = bitmap.width * (size / bitmap.height);
}
matrix.scale(newWidth / bitmap.width, newHeight / bitmap.height);
result = new BitmapData(newWidth, newHeight);
result.draw(bitmap, matrix);
bitmap.dispose();
return new Bitmap(result);
}
catch (e:Error)
{
trace("Scaled image error");
}
return null;
}// end function[/as3]

flash is suck in urlStream or fileRef.upload

urlStream is always good, it trigger the browser request to server, but very raw and cannot detect the upload progress (no progress event fire during upload) ( cal the speed and use Timer to pretend the progress bar )

but fileRef.upload is really poor, it use its user agent, so it is independent to browser, so no session can be save, it make a new session i think

judge yourself use which class then 🙂

[jquery] xxx.fn.funtionName() {} is prototype

Prototype

All objects have a prototype property. Whenever the interpreter looks for a property, it also checks the prototype. jQuery uses that extensively to add methods to jQuery instances.

var form = $(“#myform”);
form.clearForm; // undefined
form.fn.clearForm = function() {
return this.find(“:input”).each(function() {
this.value = “”;
}).end();
};
form.clearForm() // works for all instances of jQuery objects, because the new method was added to the prototype

(This example needs clarification: how does it modify the prototype when the word “prototype” doesn’t appear anywhere? The implication is that form.fn is simply an alias for form.prototype, but if that’s the case then it should be explained. :-?)

这样可以实现保护flash文件,而且用flash做界面发布时不要带swf文件,很方便,国外有一个 Control 可以实现,大家一起来讨论一下这样实现的技术方案.
告诉你一个最简单的Method
前面步骤和播放文件一样设置
ShockwaveFlash1.Movie = ‘c:temptemp.swf ‘;

ShockwaveFlash1.EmbedMovie = True
ShockwaveFlash1.Movie = ‘-_-!! ‘;
这样swf就含在窗体文件(dfm)中了
发布的时候不用单独带swf文件

这样是可以了,如果想把一个SWF文件做成资源,启动时再载入怎么实现呢？

[mac][tricks]Use Tab To Switch Between Dialog Buttons

http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2008/10/use-tab-to-switch-between-dialog-buttons.html

The one single “bug” on Mac OS X by far is the ability to switch buttons in dialog boxes. For example I mean using Tab to go between OK, Cancel, Don’t Save etc. For a long while until today I had just got used to using the mouse. Although you can use some shortcut keys for Save, but these aren’t always reliable. Windows has the ability to tab through button options. Why not Mac? Well you can and it is blindingly obvious.
To enable you to tab through dialog boxes go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Shrotcuts. At the very bottom there will be an option saying about full keyboard access. Check the radio button that says “All Controls”.

Now when you find a dialog box (a new file in TextEdit is quickest), when you hit tab you will be able to move through the dialog box options. Very neat. As the option at the bottom states if you hit Control + F7 you will be able to change this setting, although I doubt would have to.

[as3] fscommand fix

呢個你識用啦，將個 abc.exe 放係 fscommand 既 folder 到
好啦，但係好大問題就係 你想入 argument 入去 係唔 work
fscommand(“exec”, “abc.exe argu1”)，無呢回事
咁點算好!

solution:

System.setClipBoard(cmd);

再用 C++ 寫個小 program
個 program 就係貼上 clipBoard 既字再 run
咁就乜 seven 都 run 到啦!
唔洗下下用 C++ 自己寫 flash player 或者 d zinc framework 咁煩~

[AS3] Zinc 夾 GAIA, d path 錯曬!

http://www.designdisclosure.com/2009/07/make-mdm-zinc-applications-with-the-gaia-framework-for-adobe-flash/
Solution here~

July 5, 2009 by Alistair Stead in ActionScript, Flash Comments ( 3 )
The Gaia Framework for Adobe Flash is a something I have been using for some time. It is one of the most useful frameworks I have found for use with Flash. It adds a great deal of useful functionality and can generate large swathes of source code that you would otherwise need to write from scratch. However it is a very lightweight and unobtrusive ActionScript framework, you are still free to build your flash application in the same way you always have. You can continue to use your existing workflow but also take advantage of the framework features such as scaffolding, swfAddress, SEO optimization and asset loading and pre-loading.

With all this said when using the Gaia Framework with MDM Zinc application wrapper you have a couple of issues to resolve.

File paths and references from the application executable.
External Interface calls.
Most flash developers are likely unfamiliar with developing installable applications so these issues may be daunting when first encountered. However once explained there are simple solutions to both these issues that I will explain in detail.

File Paths and References

When Flash is used within a website it is served by a webserver and files can always be referenced from the root of the website e.g. /flv/example-video.flv or relative to the location of the .swf e.g. flv/example-video.flv.

However when your .swf is running inside the MDM Zinc wrapper it can no longer reliably reference files using the absolute path from root or a relative path. To resolve this you will need to evaluate the location that the application is running at before creating a path to the files based on this computed path.

Zinc Context Object

To solve this problem I have created a singleton context object. This object allows me to run the required application setup code and access the application properties from everywhere within my Gaia based application.

package com.designdisclosure.utils.mdm
{
import mdm.*;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.display.*;

public class ZincContext extends Sprite
{
private static var _instance:ZincContext;
public var zincGlobals:ZincGlobals;

/**
* Public static method to instantiate the ZincContext object.
* @return ZincContext Object Instance
*/
public static function get instance():ZincContext
{
if(_instance === null)
{
_instance = new ZincContext(new SingletonEnforcer());
}

return _instance;
}

public function ZincContext(pvt:SingletonEnforcer):void
{
if(pvt == null)
{
throw new Error(“Error: Instantiation failed: Use ZincContext.instance instead of new.”);
}

// Initialize an MDMZinc application and create a callback method for when this is completed
mdm.Application.init(this, onMDMinit);
}

private function onMDMinit():void
{
// Use this method to setup your Zinc application
// This is the same as applicationDidFinishLaunching from cocoa
}

/**
* Get the absolute path to the application and its files.
* I use a VMWare machine during testing and found
* that the application path is alittle un-reliable
* and needs modification when running in the VM.
*/
public function getApplicationPath():String
{
var path:String = mdm.Application.path;

return path;
}

public function get isZincApplication():Boolean
{
return (getApplicationPath.length)? true : false;
}
}
}

internal class SingletonEnforcer {}
This object can be used to obtain the application path, an absolute location at which the Zinc application is running. The can then be used in any function the loads external resources. However here is the main problem within the Gaia framework. It is possible to update the path to the site.xml file that is loaded in main.as but even if you load the file from an absolute path the framework does not update the paths used to load any assets referenced in the xml file its self.

Fixing the file paths

Although my next suggestion is not by any means ideal as it involves modifying the framework, I have yet to find a better solution. This obviously will lead to problems when updating the framework to future revisions. However these changes re fairly limited in scope as it is only a single file SiteModel.as. Here are my modifications that inject the application path if it exists into any location where external files are loaded.

public function load(path:String):void
{
if (path == null) path = “site.xml”;
if (path != “xml/site.xml” && path != “site.xml”) GaiaDebug.log(“site.xml path = ” + path);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(CacheBuster.create(ZincContext.instance.getApplicationPath()+path));
loader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
loader.load(request);
}
private function parseSite():void
{
_title = _xml.@title || “”;
_preloader = _xml.@preloader || ZincContext.instance.getApplicationPath()+”preload.swf”;
_menu = (_xml.@menu == “true”);
_delimiter = _xml.@delimiter || “: “;
_routing = !(_xml.@routing == “false”);
_history = !(_xml.@history == “false”);
_indexFirst = (_xml.@indexFirst == “true”);
_assetPath = _xml.@assetPath || ZincContext.instance.getApplicationPath();
// preloaderDepth
var depth:String = String(_xml.@preloaderDepth).toLowerCase();
if (depth == Gaia.MIDDLE || depth == Gaia.BOTTOM) _preloaderDepth = depth;
else _preloaderDepth = Gaia.TOP;
// preloaderDomain
var domain:String = String(_xml.@preloaderDomain).toLowerCase();
if (domain == Gaia.DOMAIN_CURRENT || domain == Gaia.DOMAIN_NEW) _preloaderDomain = domain;
else _preloaderDomain = Gaia.DOMAIN_NULL;
// defaultFlow
var flow:String = String(_xml.@flow).toLowerCase();
if (flow == Gaia.PRELOAD || flow == Gaia.REVERSE || flow == Gaia.CROSS) _defaultFlow = flow;
else _defaultFlow = Gaia.NORMAL;
if (_routing) _routes = {};
}
private function parsePage(node:XML, parent:PageAsset = null):PageAsset
{
validateNode(node, true);
var isIndex:Boolean = (node.@id == _indexID);
var page:PageAsset = new PageAsset();
page.node = node;
page.id = node.@id;
page.src = ZincContext.instance.getApplicationPath()+node.@src;
page.title = node.@title;
page.bytes = node.@bytes;
page.assetPath = ZincContext.instance.getApplicationPath()+node.@assetPath || _assetPath;

page.preloadAsset = true;
page.menu = (node.@menu == “true”);
if (page.menu && page.title.toLowerCase() == “about”) GaiaDebug.warn(‘* Warning * “About” is not permitted in Flash context menus’);
if (page.menu && page.title.length > 0) _menuArray.push(page);
page.landing = (node.@landing == “true”);
// domain
var domain:String = String(node.@domain).toLowerCase();
if (domain == Gaia.DOMAIN_NEW || domain == Gaia.DOMAIN_CURRENT) page.domain = domain;
// depth
var depth:String = String(node.@depth).toLowerCase();
if (!isIndex)
{
page.setParent(parent);
page.external = (node.@src.split(“.”).pop() != “swf” || node.@src.indexOf(“javascript”) > -1);
if (page.external) page.window = node.@window || “_self”;
if (depth == Gaia.TOP || depth == Gaia.BOTTOM || depth == Gaia.NESTED) page.depth = depth;
else page.depth = Gaia.MIDDLE;
}
else
{
if (depth == Gaia.TOP || depth == Gaia.MIDDLE) page.depth = depth;
else page.depth = Gaia.BOTTOM;
}
// flow
var flow:String = String(node.@flow).toLowerCase();
if (flow == Gaia.NORMAL || flow == Gaia.PRELOAD || flow == Gaia.REVERSE || flow == Gaia.CROSS) page.flow = flow;
// assets
if (node.asset.length() > 0 || node.@seo != undefined) page.assets = parseAssets(node.asset, page, node.@seo, int(node.@seoBytes));
// child pages
if (node.page.length() > 0)
{
page.defaultChild = node.@defaultChild;
page.children = parseChildren(page, node.page);
if (!page.children.hasOwnProperty(page.defaultChild)) page.defaultChild = node.page[0].@id;
}
// terminal page
else
{
if (page.src.substr(page.src.length – 4) == “.swf”) page.landing = true;
if (isIndex) GaiaSWFAddress.isSinglePage = true;
}
// only add terminal and landing pages to routes
if (_routing && page.landing)
{
var route:String = node.@route || page.title;
if (isIndex) route = route || page.id;
page.route = getValidRoute(route, page.id).toLowerCase();
_routes[page.route] = page.branch;
}
return page;
}
These changes allow you to test your application within the flash authoring environment as the application path will be empty and it will load the files with local references. If you run the application inside a Zinc wrapper the files will be references with an absolute path.

External Interface calls

In order for flash applications to communicate with the browser they use External Interface. This is used extensively within the Gaia framework for logging and also search engine optimization with swfAddress. However MDM Zinc does not handle these calls particularly gracefully and as it is not possible to turn this functionality off within the framework we again need to make a couple of modifications.

Blocking external calls

Inside SWFAdress.as there is a test for ExternalInterface.available however inside Zinc this will incorrectly report true. The only fix for this is as follows:

private static var _availability:Boolean = false; // used to be ExternalInterface.available;
Conclusion

The solutions I have proposed here will resolve the issues the prevent you from using Gaia within a Zinc application. However I believe that these issues could be resolved in a number of ways within the respective products.

MDM Zinc need resolve the issue with ExternalInterface and the its incorrect implementation as this is essentially a bug in the platform.

The issues with the Gaia framework can not be considered bugs as the framework does exactly what it was intended to do. However I would suggest that the framework would be greatly improved if additional configuration were made available to users. Being able to turn off the SEO modules such as SWFAddress and external calls would be very helpful. Not only for use within MDM Zinc but also in situations where the flash application is not the entire web page. If you use Gaia to be build a smaller component within a page the SWFAddress calls can also cause problems.

The loading of assets would also be greatly improved if it were possible to update their paths at run time. Obviously this is not a common requirement but it would make the framework much more flexible and far more useful.

[AS3] Signal 野: Signal VS DeluxeSignal

http://insideria.com/2010/10/an-introduction-to-as3-signals.html
睇左先
up 一大春英文，搞咩，超簡單
signal 係可以 pass parameter，但 pass 個個 object 就係個個 object 囉

DeluxeSignal 就勁啦，係 pass event
event signal 都識 pass 啦，咁你就錯
呢個 event 係 as3 d fd，你 pass 左，過到去，有翻曬你以前 event 玩既野
例如 event.currentTaret, event.type, event.target 咁
咁咪開心又興奮囉~

[AS3] 兩個 SWF event 傳黎傳去既方法

你仲想利用個 event 傳data ？

[actionscript3]

function onModuleClose(e:*):void {

var data = e.data;

}

var data = {a:1, b:"hello"};

swf.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(CustomEvent.MODULE_CLOSE, data));

[/actionscript3]

PS

如果要玩 bubbling: 記得 extend 個陣 要 override 埋 clone 呢個 function!

[AS3] Hit on hitTestObject

hitTestObject is always use

but do u know:

mc.hitTestObject(target)

if target.visible = false and target.alpha =0

其實都 hit 中 return true

小心d 啦~ 最好加多個 condition

mc.hitTestObject(target) && target.visible

Using Flex 3 Component without MXML – only AS3 (FLEX 3333333333333333333333333!)

about mask

http://rhinotw.blogspot.com/2009/01/as3mask.html

AS3的mask並不會改變原物件的長寬；
舉例來說，一個長寬500×500的A_mc，被一個200×200的B_mc所mask，
AS2的時候，trace會發現A_mc的長寬變成200×200了，
但AS3則仍然trace出500×500。
這問題在需要對A_mc縮放的時候，會有大麻煩，
例如我想放大到寬度是1000px，則AS2會放大5倍，但AS3只會放大2倍；
試過DisplayObject的getRect()跟getBounds()，都是trace出500×500，
Vanilla找到一個怪招：
bitmapData.draw(A_mc);
trace(bitmapData.getColorBoundsRect(0xff000000,0xff000000,true));
就會回報正確的長寬了！
感謝Vanilla！

當你用了 load swf，而咁o岩裡面個 swf 有用到 UI component d 野
(e.g. scrollbar, checkbox 等)
你用 main 個個 swf load 佢，本身都應該相安無事
但你搞下個 fl library，例如玩下 focusManager，又或者 (我估) add 其他 UI component
咁佢就會鬧你 load swf 個個搵唔到適當既 UI component
其實無咩野，出下 error，想解決就係 main library 都加埋 個個 UIcomponent la~

duplicate MC……自己 load 自己

}

Hack Flash Projector to change some value (e.g. title name)

Player without minimize, maximize and close buttons when not full screen:

Using third party projector tools such as mProjector, Zinc, SWF Studio or Screenweaver. Flash alone cannot do that.

Another way to hide the minimize, maximize and close buttons (and also, if you want, to modify/remove others menus, dialog windows etc.), but only applicable at a projector file, is to use a resource editor program, also called ‘hacking’ program. With such programs (for example: ‘XN Resource Editor’, ‘Resource Hacker’), you can usually ‘hack’ Win32 PE files (modules); that is why you will be able to edit only the projector file.

Using swc rather than Embed tag

http://www.arpitonline.com/blog/2009/03/21/flex-builder-tip-use-swcs-for-image-assets-not-embed-metatags-for-pure-actionscript-projects/

PS

What is Flex Assets?

When using [Embed] to store some bitmap, it will extends BitmapAssets, etc……….

so somethime may not want to use Embed tag, then u can import the Asset class inside and extends by yrself!

as3 event bubbling notice

The event can only bubble up through the display list if the object that dispatched the event is a DisplayObject (or an ancestor of DisplayObject, such as a Sprite or MovieClip) so that it can be in the display list AND it is added to the display list at the time of the event dispatch.

唔係你係類面 new 個 instance ，佢就識玩 bubble

而係 addChild 落個 displaylist 到先識玩 bubbling

new object 個個你就要一層層咁自己 dispatch~

Flash compile exe -> Flash player 可選!

最新既 flash player 10 多左個 digital cert 功能，可惜的是 IE 去開既時候會鬧你無正確既 digital cert，咁點解決呢

1. 用 zip -> sfx 既方法，IE 就唔當 flash player 開

2. compile 既時候，換個 flash player，用 無cert 既 9 或者用 10 既 debug version (但希望你個 program 無 bug，唔係出 error)

how?

program files -> flash -> player

換左類面個 player 佢

export 出黎既 exe 就係包呢款 player，

(projector 原理: 包個 flash player，叫佢開個 swf 之嘛)

無 cert 既 projector 就過關了!

模擬 multiple inheritance

http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/2006/10/multiple-inheritance-in-actionscript-3.cfm

用 implement interface + #include 去摸擬

實際上佢 implement 個 interface，但只有 function 名，對嘛

然後每個要 (扮) extends 個個 class implement 完左 #include 一定要個d functions，

咁咪一定要用個d function 囉？

咁就 == 一定有個堆 function 兼 function 名 及可以用 is 等等

咁就可以無限 (扮) extends!

(not a gd practice, btw)

Playing Audio with Flash

http://milkmidi.blogspot.com/2010/07/as3-scratch.html 我由呢個 demo 開始睇

http://www.anttikupila.com/flash/soundfx-out-of-the-box-audio-filters-with-actionscript-3/ 有呢個好正既 sound filter, 識做 echo, phase, feedback, cutoff, resonance 個d effect

embed xml

[sourcecode language=”actionscript3″]
[Embed(source="info.xml", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]

var s : String = ba.readUTFBytes( ba.length );
xml = new XML( s );

papervision, 關於上色

cube20100325

陰影很怪。

這個本應使用了 FlatShadeMaterial 去直接打光上去上色。

在 cube 上再加上一塊 bitmap mapping / movieClip mapping / colorMaterial

[sourcecode language=”actionscript3″]
material = new CompositeMaterial();
var mat = new ColorMaterial(ColorLibrary.YELLOW_COLOR, THREE_D_OBJ_ALHPA);
material.addMaterial(mat);
var mat = new FlatShadeMaterial(_light, Conf.LIGHT_COLOR, Conf.AMBIENT_COLOR, 20, THREE_D_OBJ_ALHPA);
material.addMaterial(mat);[/sourcecode]

將兩個 material 合埋使用，

因為立體有了自身的顏身再上 flatShade 咁就靚曬啦!

明天就是 deadline! (一)

24032010

還有很多立體要畫。

用了 papervision 。但經過不斷的 research, 聽聞 away3d 更好。

(聽聞)只少在 import 3D卡通時較易上手。

之後很想學 blender 或者 3D studio max，做一d 得意既 3D 動畫或者網站!

P.S. 明天就是 deadline，後面加了 (一)，好明顯我知道這類 Post 應該以後陸續有黎!
