Embed Font workflow for flash as3

September 16th, 2009 • general

Martin, a good friend of mine, wrote a great blog post about font handling. He created an ant task which creates a font class / swf. What’s so cool about it? You can load fonts, and dont have to compile them every time, like [Embed ...] does.

I just had some trouble because I misspelled the font :O. Here is a loop which traces all the registered font names and solved my really stupid fault. And here is a example how you embed a registered font.

var fontLoader : Loader = new Loader();
var lInf : LoaderInfo = fontLoader.contentLoaderInfo;
lInf.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFontLoaded);
 
fontLoader.load(new URLRequest("Verdana.swf"));
 
function onFontLoaded(e : Event) : void 
{
 var tf : TextFormat = new TextFormat();
 tf.font = "FONTNAME";
 
 var tfield : TextField = new TextField();
 tfield.defaultTextFormat = tf;
 tfield.text = "Martin rocks!";
 
 var embeddedFonts : Array = Font.enumerateFonts(false);
 for(var i : Number = 0;i < embeddedFonts.length; i++)
 {
 var item : Font = embeddedFonts[i];
 trace(
 "[" + i + "] name:" + item.fontName + 
 ", style: " + item.fontStyle + 
 ", type: " + item.fontType
 );
 }
}

Handling Javascript in AS3

September 10th, 2009 • 2 comments general

Handling Javascript calls via Actionscript 3 and ExternalInterface is cool. But in larger projects I’d like to have more controll over it. I spotted some things I didn’t like:

1. Via addCallback(”func”, asFunc)  – You can register a function twice
2. You can’t see how much js calls / callbacks you’ve registerd and how often the were called.

So I wrote a small Singleton class called JsHandler which can deal with that issues. You can register callBacks and do Javascript calls. Furthermore the class provides two methods which report about the calls. A basic Error Handling is implemnted too.

I know I did a nasty hack for the …rest params. But I think it’s a good Solution for the problem. Noone needs more than 6 params in a Javascript function ;)

Update:

Thanks to lab9 for the apply and unshift hint. Now you can push as much params as you want to. I updated the class. The trick is:

// function name (string)
args.unshift(jsFunctionName);
// ...args
ExternalInterface.call.apply(instance, args);

Here is the Democode:

JsHandler.addCallBack("sendToAs", fromJs);
// Second one causes error (same name)
JsHandler.addCallBack("sendToAs", fromJs);    
 
// returns the js return value as string
JsHandler.doCall("sendToJs2", "p1", "p2");
JsHandler.doCall("sendToJs2", "p1");
 
// returns array of all callbacks
JsHandler.allCallBacks();
 
// returns array with all methodnames
// and call amount
JsHandler.allCalls();

The class is just roughly tested and might contain errors. If you’ve any feedback or questions don’t hesitate to ask.

Help fighting childporn. no-kids.org

Juli 2nd, 2009 • creative, flash, general, hot, idea

Today we launched a project I’m really proud of. A website that works against childporn.How does it work? You can find detailed info on no-kids.org.

Here is a summary:

You’re trusting an applet. This applet works like a limewire / frostwire client. It fakes files – pretending you’ve childporn on your pc, which you DON’T have! When a pedophile searches or tries to download such a file our website gets informed and visualises the query / download.

We just want to visualise the density of childporn usage, NOT where “these people” are located (tracking the exact position is not possible – and hopefully never will). The downloader/pedophile – downloads a fake file which PROVIDES HELP.
