JSFL publishing FLA complete Error handling

when we start working on Mogobe  I worte a small JSFL script. that script loop throw all  of my project folder look for FLA 

files and publish them one after a other.

Add that script to the buld task in my Ant file. that was fin for the begining but now that the project is so big and any thing can go wong

and staff did go wong and same time the one of the fla file did not publish as expected . The probleam was that you we did nt know about it 

the JSFL script just move to the next file.

So I need to add an Error handling for the script and to be shore that I will be compile them correctliy I fond that on the web 

http://summitprojectsflashblog.wordpress.com/2009/03/10/jsfl-for-mass-publish-with-error-reporting/

but that was only handling complie error if some thing else go wong like the publish to folder dose not exsist it will move on without publishing 

 here is what I added this is the new function that in JSFL that publish FLA with complete Error handling .

(How to loop throw all the folder subfolder and find FLA file you can find here )

/*
 * pubilsh a fla file and colse the document
 */
function publishFile(filePath)
{
    try
    {
       
        fl.openDocument(filePath);
        fl.getDocumentDOM().publish();
       
        // handling error of out folder dose not exsist
        fl.outputPanel.save(filePath + ".out") // save the out put to file
        var output = FLfile.read(filePath + ".out"); // read the out put from the file
        FLfile.remove(filePath + ".out");// delete the out put file
       
        // handling error of flash compile
        fl.compilerErrors.save(filePath + ".error"); // save the out put to file 
        var contents = FLfile.read(filePath + ".error"); // read the out put from the file
        FLfile.remove(filePath + ".error"); // delete the out put file
       
        // checking if file can be created path existing problem
        if(output.indexOf("Error creating Flash movie file") != -1 )
        {
            hasError = true;
        }
        else if(contents != "") // checking for flash compile errors 
        {
            hasError = true;
        }
        else
        {
            fl.closeDocument(fl.documents[0], false);
        }
       
    }
    catch(e){

          hasError = true;

      }
}

the probleam was that when the folder dose not exsist the  fl.compilerErrors is empty becase the complie is not started

so i need to add another chek in the out put panle 

 the next question that I wold ask way writing the  fl.outputPanel fl.compilerErrors object to the file system I realy did not find any other way to get the data from

thouse object

MP3 gibberish file name and folder after letting one of the player mange my files

after I let my songbird mange my mp3 file I found out that same of the file name became gibberish and some of the folder as well.

so I wrote a little piece of code that will convert the file back to there original encoding to Hebrew. 

you can download FileNameFix  from here (I use the ClickOnce technologies for every buddy ease).

you just need to select the root folder with the mp3 file that you wont to convert

and it restore it back to Hebrew

have fun.

what single discovery has given you the greatest boost in productivity?

As a programmer what single discovery has given you the greatest boost in productivity?

this question has been ask in the stackoverflow and I think my answer was great one

pencil and a paper (simple obvious) but still underestimated                         

We took an consultant (mogobe.com)

As I mention earlier we just finish a year of development and the thing that i am most proud of except the the game is working an kids are having fun.

Is that we have an consultant the credit for that i need to give to eyal

I am not shore that he is the best one but,

I know that he know well enough that I can listen to.

I know that he can explain and communicate his idea.

I know  that we is smart enough to lessen to me.

I honesty think that event thus that it cost a allot of money it is a good way to spend it especially if you are small company in it s  early stages.

We toke Moshe shamy from sela.

We are still looking for consultant for the client side so if you think that you are the one you can contact me

After a year of development ( of mogobe virtual world )

After a year of development  quit alto form my perspective never been a leader for a project of that scale

And it kind of hard to look on it and say that what we accomplish in year me and  Tzahi ( the  development team )

yes it was new thing for us and ,yes we learn allot from it,

yes it is nice yes it is fun but I could have done it better

but it is probably the filling of any programmer that standing in front of a big project that he develop .

here is it www.mogobe.com it is virtual world for kids.

My mistake when I used Google analytics

I am project manger of virtual worlds for kids this game call Mogobe 

and i did fatal mistake.

We add Google analytics  to the site by using a simple java script API in all the we pages of the site.

After it we wonted to get more spastic information and because this is a virtual Wolds for kids most of

the activity is happening inside the flash player.

We added the Google analytics  flash API that send more data to Google analytics  service

and that was my mistake I did not understand it in the begging because when we did it there where little traffic in our site

only after a while the figure didn't really match the one form our data base and the one from Google analytics. 

And in that moment we understand that when we used to different API of Google analytics each will create a new user and a new visit.

So in the if you have a site that have flash content do not try to use the flash API to track your users activit.

Make flash call the java script API that you all ready have in your site.

i would offer my reputation there buy up until now i don't have any

Compile all the FLA file in Directory and its sub Directory

Toady i spent few hour improving our install process and I look for a way to compile all the swf file in Directory and its sub Directory in the working environment

it was quite easy just a few lines of jsfl

/*
* this file will loop recursively throw all the file and folder in the path 
* and publish all the fla i thus directory
*/

var devPath ="file:///E:/WORK/Dev/trunk/"
    
folderRecorsive(devPath);


/*
* loop throw all the folder a
* for each folder call publishFlieInFolder
*/
function folderRecorsive(pathFolder)
{
    var folderNames=FLfile.listFolder(pathFolder,"directories")

    for(var i=0;folderNames.length;i++) 
    {
        if(folderNames[i] == undefined) 
        {
            break; 
        }
        
        if(folderNames[i].indexOf("svn") != -1 ||
           folderNames[i].indexOf(".metadata") != -1)
        {
            
        }
        else
        {
            var newFolderPath = pathFolder+"/"+folderNames[i]
            publishFlieInFolder(newFolderPath)
            folderRecorsive(newFolderPath )     
        } 
       }
}

/*
* select all the FLA in the give folder 
* for each one of them call  publishFile
*/
function publishFlieInFolder(folderPath)
{
    var files = FLfile.listFolder(folderPath+"/*.fla","files")
    for(var i=0;files.length;i++)  

    {
        if(files[i] == undefined)  
        {
            break;
        }
        var flaPath = folderPath+"/"+files[i] 
        publishFile(flaPath);
        
    }
    
}
/*
* publish a fla file and close the document 
*/
function publishFile(filePath)
{
    fl.openDocument(filePath,true);
    fl.getDocumentDOM().publish();
    fl.closeDocument(fl.documents[0], false);

}

and few line in the ant install file
