flashbsm?

[some-guy]

Is flashbsm still being worked on? :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

[RYX]

Yes, I think delfick is still working on it.

:)

[delfick]

lol

yes, i'm still doing stuff on it...

development (if it can be called that, more of just playing with actionscript than anything :D) will go down to next to nothing again as uni has started again...

but i did get quite a bit done

can be found here http://delfick.projects.googlepages.com/flashbsm.zip
(when i get it working correctly, it will need cws running (http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?t=825) but i can't get it to connect to localhost when playing it outside the ide, so it won't work anyways)
(designed for 1280x1024 resolution, i just have to make a few changes which won't take long, and then i'll update the file so it fits better on smaller resolutions...)
EDIT: well......it's better than it was before for smaller resolutions (if you have smaller resolution, use flashbsm_forSmallerScreens.html) but it doesn't work too well on smaller screens and it has to be recompiled with the new stage dimensions (though if you want it smaller still even though the actual flash dimensions won't change, just change the values of the stageDimensions.xml file in the xml folder)
EDIT 2 :: look at the post below, I've put instructions in the readme to let you compile it yourself without the flash IDE so you can compile it to the size you want

it is now completely actionscript (and somewhat improved on the first mockup :D)

and all i have to do now is firstly workout how to connect to localhost, as it's only letting me do that in the ide and not in the browser plugin or standalone player (EDIT :: I've worked out how to connect it to localhost, look at the next post) and actually populate the settings area, and create a better version of the plugins.xml file (i want to change it to be like this http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dhk9cs ... n2cs&hl=en (http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dhk9csv4_236gnn2cs&hl=en) and RYX has said in this thread http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?t=825&start=60 that he will make a python script that will make the base plugins.xml file for me :D) which defines what groups there are, what plugins there are, what tabs each plugin has and eventually what options are in each tab

i also need to work out how to actually change the settings in compiz.... :D

........

[delfick]

if you want to compile the flashbsm yourself and don't have the macromedia flash IDE then download the latest files, again from http://delfick.projects.googlepages.com/flashbsm.zip

and read the top of the readme file :D

if you want it to actually do stuff in relation to compiz (currently all it knows is the current list of active plugins, more will come) then put it under localhost and launch it through localhost

(with cws running, so follow the instructions here http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=753

[delfick]

hmmm, I never updated this thread

a while back I moved everything to this http://code.google.com/p/flashbsm

also, unless someone says a way I can actually access compiz-fusion settings via actionscript, I'm not sure if I'm gonna be continuing to do this (anytime soon)....

[some-guy]

can you make it run scripts?

[delfick]

not sure how via actionscript........

I don't actually know how to program :p (I understand the basic concepts and such but I just don't have knowledge at this point)
(which I'm hoping won't screw me over when I start software engineering units next year (this year was common to all engineering, don't specialise till second year)

......

[delfick]

hmm, this looks interesting http://osflash.org/blog/2007_12_12_pyamf_0.1_alpha_released

[some-guy]

maybe you could ask smsplillaz for help on the python part :D

[delfick]

hmm will do that...

first though, I finally got a new harddrive (to replace the one that corrupted itself, losing everything I had...) and so am reinstalling windows onto that (windows on the other drive = lagfest, and is starting to irritate me) then I'm reinstalling linux, and then I'll try getting kagswf working again, then I'll look at trying to get pyamf working without needing the flash ide (hopefully shouldn't take too long :D) and then I'll get some help with the python side of things....

[some-guy]

thats a lot of 'then's :D
Oh well ccsm is fine 'till then ;)

[delfick]

........ :D

half way there. Have installed windows (though it's now on E: instead of C: because the other windows is still installed, which is annoying, but oh well) and I've installed all hardware related stuff, up to programs, then I'll install games, and finally all my settings and savegames and stuff for programs and games (I have a lot of stuff).

[delfick]

I'm still getting there :D
windows being a bitch held me up slightly
and lots of things to go through and re-organise :D

(btw, found this (http://delfick.storage.googlepages.com/OriginalBsmMockups.tar.gz), Some mockups I made for the bsm, which I posted a few days before Franzrogar posted his (unfortunately we lost that thread when compiz.net died))

[delfick]

finally got there :D

now to just get it working

http://lists.pyamf.org/archives/users/2007-December/000013.html

...

[delfick]

woot, it works :D

now I just need someone to help make a python function that does something useful and see if I can use that from the actionscript movie :D

[delfick]

cleanup is coming along :D

and the python server works :D

do the following to see

$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
$ mkdir ~/testingFlashbsm
$ cd ~/testingFlashbsm
$ svn co http://svn.pyamf.org/pyamf/trunk pyamf
$ cd pyamf
$ sudo python setup.py develop
$ cd ..
$ svn checkout http://flashbsm.googlecode.com/svn/branches/preAS3/ flashbsm
$ cd flashbsm
$ ./server.py

then open the flashbsm.html

if you want trace messages,
then open tracer.html and flashbsm.html in that order :D

EDIT2 : I've come to the realisation that there is something that must be done as well for flash to allow the flashbsm to communicate with the python server.
go here http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html
and add the ~/testingFlashbsm/flashbsm folder as a location, and then it will work :D

all it does at the moment is ask the python server for the categories and the plugins in those categories and then outputs to the tracer...
EDIT : it does a bit more than that now :D

but it shows progress :D

[some-guy]

for server.py, can't you just put '#!/usr/bin/env python' to avoid having to run python and instead just type './ server.py' ?

[delfick]

nice :D

that does work.

[some-guy]

this is some-how related, does anyone know how to open a html file with embedded flash
, without actually displaying firefox?

[delfick]

eventually I want to be able to do that :D

except I was thinking of having a python program that embeds the html into it.

though whatever works and is easiest :p

[some-guy]

EDIT: Never Mind

[delfick]

what are you trying to do ?

...

[delfick]

well, I'm nearly there :D

just need to fix up the showall options slightly (if you follow this (http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showpost.php?p=44394&postcount=16) and have a play, then you'll see what I mean :D)

though now it is much faster and snappier than before (especially moving the mouse of many plugins at once), I've added scrollbars where necessary (other than the one in the settings area that was already there anyways), though you'll only notice one implementation of these new scrollbars :D

and it can finally actually enable and disable plugins ! :D
(except for things like desktop wall, cube, plane, the rotate plugin...)

once I've finished off the showall section, then I'll start looking into it actually displaying some settings :)

[some-guy]

hmm... here it only goes up to the part of 'Finding Categories'

[delfick]

you sure you started the server.py before opening flashbsm.html ?? :D

if it doesn't get past finding categories than it means it can't communicate with the python server....

[some-guy]

I did

BTW, next time you'll probably want to give server.py execute permissions ;)

[delfick]

hmm, it should already have execute permisions...

so you've got the server running, and you have compiz enabled and it still doesn't get past that point ??

weird...
I'll try it on my laptop
(and then finally go to bed :p, I was going to like half an hour ago but got distracted, lol)

[some-guy]

here's how it is

[some-guy]

(and then finally go to bed :p, I was going to like half an hour ago but got distracted, lol)
lol, here it's 8:30 in the morning :cool:

[delfick]

hmm, that's interesting, you server.py should give out something more like

anyhow, I've come to the realisation ubuntu gutsy doesn't have the right version of python-setuptools, whether or not that's a recent thing (i.e. changes in pyamf that require the newer version), the newer version is here (http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c7.tar.gz#md5=dedbf6a4f71cd6deaf13ee885054f16b)

so after finally installing that, the flashbsm does the exact same thing on my laptop...

this is weird.

..what version of compiz are you running ??
I'm using 0.6.0...

hmm, and the echotest works for me http://pyamf.org/wiki/EchoTest

weird, I'm gonna look at this in the morning ....

[some-guy]

I had some free time so I made a Makefile for it :D
#Makefile for Delfick's flashBSM
#location of kagswf and ccsm's images
KAGSWF=~/source/kagswf/kagswf
CCSM_IMAGES=/usr/share/ccsm/images

all:
@echo -e "\tOptions: flashbsm | tracer | images"

flashbsm:
${KAGSWF} -out flashbsm.swf -html -w 1240 -h 830 -fps 48 -cp classPath

tracer:
${KAGSWF} -out tracer.swf -html -w 700 -h 400 -fps 48 -p tracer -cp classPath
cp html/tracer.html ./

images:
mkdir images
mkdir images/icons
ls ${CCSM_IMAGES}
cp ${CCSM_IMAGES}/* images/icons/
cd images/icons
for i in *.svg; do inkscape -f "$i" -e "${i%%.svg*}.png" -w 50; done
make images doesn't exactly work on git because they changed it to be more like a standard icon theme ;)

[delfick]

hmm, how is that make images different in that ? :D
(also, images and images/icons should already exist....)

also, it's nothing to do with the latest version of pyamf, I've updated my copy on my main machine and the flashbsm still works.........

[delfick]

found the problem :D

go here
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html

and add the flashbsm folder

and it will work :D

[some-guy]

Works perfectly :D
BTW, your probably gonna ask this :D, the window it's running in is prism (http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/11/prism-prototype-now-available-on-mac-and-linux/)

[delfick]

hmm, cool :D

since when has prism worked on linux ?? :D

also, what we're you doing when you took the screenshot ? :D

cause the showall panel is half up, you have a random dot there, and the buttons on the bottom are gone.....

(also, I take it you compiled it with smaller width and height ?)

hm...
it didn't make sense that a gtk.main() could draw it all anyway :p

[some-guy]

hmm, cool :D

since when has prism worked on linux ?? :D
since http://labs.mozilla.com/2007/11/prism-prototype-now-available-on-mac-and-linux/


also, what we're you doing when you took the screenshot ? :D

cause the showall panel is half up, you have a random dot there, and the buttons on the bottom are gone.....

(also, I take it you compiled it with smaller width and height ?)
do you mean awn-curves (http://awn.planetblur.org/index.php?shard=forum&action=g_reply&ID=853&page=1)?

No actually I didn't recompile it, though maybe I should've, I just kept right-clicking and seleting zoom in, zoomout, and show all and it finally adjustted to fill to whole window even when it resize it :D

[delfick]

ahh, k then

(awn-curves is cool :D)

also, I tried to make it so the flashbsm resizes itself when you resize the window, but I can't get it to work :(
(got it to work in the tracer :))

anywho, in trying to find an alternative to mx.remoting so that you can compile it without having the flash ide already installed (you don't need to use the ide to compile it, but you need the flash 8 classes that come with it)

I've come to the realisation that there is no as2 alternative (there is pixlib, but that would be a really big hassle to get working with mtasc)

so once I've finshed the code cleanup, I'm gonna try and convert to as3..... :D

[some-guy]

I modified flashbsm.html to look like this <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

</object>

</body></html>
and if I select show all and change to a different area/plugin(as long as it redraw itself) It fits the window
....

[delfick]

it wasn't doing that for me ........

also, screw it, I'm gonna start doing as3 conversion from tomorrow

(just got the rest of showall working correctly :D, it was easier than I thought it'd be)

and email notifications isn't working for this thread (sometimes it does though :)) and it's starting to irritate me

[delfick]

well. after experiencing many problems to do with getting data around the app, I finally found the solution to my problems in this (http://clockobj.co.uk/2007/10/17/simplified-cairngorm-easy-mvc-for-adobe-flex/) which is a simple mvc structure for the flex app.

Using that I was able to fix a few problems....

anyways, to see what it looks like so far, follow the instructions over here (http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showpost.php?p=44394&postcount=16) except replace the checkout command with

svn checkout http://flashbsm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk flashbsm

it's not much, but the fact that when you click on the plugins, the description area (to the right of the plugin list) populates itself is quite a leap :) (that took me the whole day to figure out (if only I found that mvc thing sooner :p))

...

[some-guy]

It looks like you changed the ui (much better) and tracer's job has been moved strait into flashbsm, but I really don't get anything(the plugins don't show up, nothing changes when I click anything(besides profiles highlighting etc))....

[delfick]

It looks like you changed the ui (much better)

that's because in the as2 version, I had to manually make everything.

In flex, components come with it, http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/explorer/explorer.html which is very easy to use via mxml :)

and tracer's job has been moved strait into flashbsm,

I haven't made a custom tracer (probably won't either)

instead I'm using a firefox extension that shows trace messages.

it can be found here (http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2007/12/flashtracer_210_1.php)

after installing that, make a file in your home folder called mm.cfg and put the following inside



then in the preferences for the firefox extension, set the "select output file" option to "/home/<username>/.macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/flashlog.txt"

unfortunately for now it just seems to give heaps of warnings I'm not sure how to get rid of..... (and I haven't used traced very much (infact since I finally got the mvc framework to work, I think I got rid of most of the traces I did have anyways :))

but I really don't get anything(the plugins don't show up, nothing changes when I click anything(besides profiles highlighting etc))....

that's what I meant by it doesn't do much :)

all that should work for now is that the top bar should hold buttons for all the groups (but they don't have menus...yet) and when you click on the groups, there should be plugins down the side. and when you click on a plugin, the description area changes so that it holds the icon of the currently selected plugin and next to that, "category -> plugin -> description"

the preferences, profiles, showall buttons at the bottom do nothing atm.

also, if nothing but the funcbar shows up, remember to make sure that you've added the folder as a safe location in the flash settings manager http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html and you have started the server.py

edit : should look like the attached screenshot

edit 2: do an "svn up" in the flashbsm folder, I've changed the server.py back to the dynamic one.....

[some-guy]

Is the tracer necessary?
EDIT: nevermind, it looks good :D

[delfick]

well, with my custom tracer, I was able to format the trace messages and add colour, alignment, size and boldness.....

so I might make a custom tracer again......

[delfick]

I've decided to go straight to making the settings work...

so far, I've got the right tabs to show up :)

[some-guy]

nice :D
Did you get enabling/disabling working again?

[delfick]

not yet.

....

[some-guy]

changing #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/python make server.py identify itself as server.py rather than python...
:D

[crdlb]

changing #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/python make server.py identify itself as server.py rather than python...
:D
That's incorrect since it assumes python is installed in /usr/bin

[delfick]

I'm slowly figuring this out :)
(we're understaffed at work, so the amount of hours I'm getting isn't helping flashbsm progress :p (but it is in terms of how much money I have :))

[delfick]

and a little further still....

though I can't get it to stop resizing itself :(
(will tackle that more tomorrow, sleep now :))

[some-guy]

nice! it gets the options! I did a svn up before I saw that post! looks great :D

[delfick]

well, I've spent an entire day on it again
(well, seeing as I woke up at about 11:00, probably not the _whole_ day :p)
(nice break from my paid work :))

I've changed the side list so that when you hover over the plugins, only the box is highlighted rather than the whole thing (and same for when selected)

I've added the Actions tab and moved action settings from other tabs.
and removed empty tabs and subgroups
(that was harder to figure out than it sounds :p)

I also got rid of the popup at the start saying flashbsm is ready. That was there so that the description area is updated when you press the ok button (when the data should have already been gotten) instead of that I've made it choose a different view untill the data is gotten before switching to the main view
(run the flashbsm.swf without running the server.py to see what I mean)

and the thing I spent most of my day on was changing the way the data from the python server is received so I can prevent the trace output from being flooded with these annoying warnings about object not implementing EventDispatcher.

.... :D

[delfick]

and now I've made it so that going over the plugins don't make them bounce around (they were doing that and it was starting to irritate me)

and I've started on the showall page

and added popus to the profiles and options buttons...

anyway, enough for today

.... :D

[delfick]

the flashbsm can now enable and disable plugins :)

[some-guy]

it works here too :D, but it seems to have really slowed down...

[delfick]

the plugins appearing on the side is a bit slower because they now check to make sure their status hasn't changed (because if you refresh the flashbsm without restarting the server, then the plugins don't realise their status has changed since you started the server)

the settings appear faster now because before I was getting them as they came, but now I get all the settings at the same time, which does extend the start time by a few seconds....

:)

also, I'm fairly close to finishing the showall part :D

and I've made the settings area use collapsable panels instead of an accordion so that you can have more than one subgroup open at the same time....

[delfick]

YAY! finally got the showall area to be animated :)
(it was slightly harder than I thought it'd be)

though only the normal layout works, I've yet to do the others, but I'm sure it won't be too hard :) (hopefully)

[some-guy]

nice! I can't test it out right now though, experimenting with slax6 :D

[delfick]

showall works now :)
as in both the alphabetical checkbox and the search box. and it's all nicely animated.

that was much easier than as2 :D

which means the only feature regression from the actionscript2 version is that hovering over the groups makes the menu come up and the appearance of the group layout for showall (which had headers and lines and such in the as2 version)...

:)

[delfick]

well I've added bools and floats to the settings area (they don't change the actual settings yet, but that's for the distant future :))

I also tried to put in the color options, but unfortunately that proved very difficult, and I'm giving up with that :p

I start uni tomorrow, so don't expect to much momemtum with the flashbsm after the next week or two....

I'm also giving up on getting the menus to come up when you hover of the groupheaders in the main view (like it did for the as2 version). it's too much hassle...

I also just noticed it only took me a month to convert the flashbsm to as3. Given my lack of programming background I consider that fairly good :)

hmm, just realised I didn't attach a screenshot to the last post....
