// Found this on the django-users mailing list, need to test

ok, I finally got open-flash-chart to work.

1. create an xhtml-file and insert (something like) this:

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
        codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/
flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
        width="600"
        height="400"
        id="graph-2"
        align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie" value="/media/site/chart/open-flash-chart.swf?
width=600&height=400&data=/chart_data/" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
    <embed src="/media/site/chart/open-flash-chart.swf?
width=600&height=400&data=/chart_data/"
        quality="high"
        bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
        width="600"
        height="400"
        name="open-flash-chart"
        align="middle"
        allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
        type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
        pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"; />
    </object>

2. define the url for the chart, eg: (r'^chart/$',
'www.views.charts.chart'),

3. define the url for the chart-data, e.g.: (r'^chart_data/$',
'www.views.charts.chart_data'),

4. the views:

def chart(request):

   ### nothing really required. whatever you want to do here. points
to the html-file created above

    return render_to_response('site/charts/chart.html', {
        'var': 'var',
    }, context_instance=RequestContext(request) )


def chart_data(request):

    import random

    g = graph()

    data_1 = []
    data_2 = []
    data_3 = []
    for i in range(12):
      data_1.append( random.randint(14,19) )
      data_2.append( random.randint(8,13) )
      data_3.append( random.randint(1,7) )

    g.title('PageViews (2007)', '{color: #999999; font-size: 16; text-
align: center}' );
    g.bg_colour = '#ffffff'

    # we add 3 sets of data:
    g.set_data( data_1 )
    g.set_data( data_2 )
    g.set_data( data_3 )

    # we add the 3 line types and key labels
    g.line_dot( 3, 5, '#333333', 'Page views', 10 )
    g.line_dot( 3, 5, '#666666', 'Visits', 10)    # <-- 3px thick +
dots
    g.line_hollow( 2, 4, '#999999', 'Unique visitors', 10 )


g.set_x_labels( 
'Jänner,Februar,März,April,Mai,Juni,Juli,August,September,Oktober,November,Dezember'.split(',')
 )
    g.set_x_label_style( 11, '0x666666', 2, 1)

    g.set_y_max(20)
    g.y_label_steps(4)
    g.set_y_label_style( 10, '0x666666')

    return HttpResponse(g.render())

// STAGEALIGN

var stageListener:Object = new Object();
stageListener.originalWidth = 1000;
stageListener.originalHeight = 700;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "B";
updateStage = function () {
if (selectedPage == undefined) {
lepel._height = Stage.height;
}
lepel._width = Stage.width+2;
sky.bg._width = Stage.width;
sky.bg._height = Stage.height;
sky["sky"+selectedPage].linear._width = Stage.width+2;
footerBg.Update();
};
stageListener.onResize = function() {
StageLeft = -1*(Stage.width-this.originalWidth)/2;
StageTop = -1*(Stage.height-this.originalHeight);
StageRight = StageLeft+Stage.width;
StageBottom = 700;
updateStage();
};
stageListener.onResize();
Stage.addListener(stageListener);

This function returns the full URL of the .swf file. Simple enough.

myUrl = getProperty("", _url );

// Adding this to the iframe code will stop the white flash that occurs when an iframe loads.

style="visibility:hidden;" onload="this.style.visibility = 'visible';"

Contains is an actionscript function that I use a lot. From Kirupa

contains = function (input, arrayData) {
  for (i=0; i<arrayData.length; i++) {
    if (arrayData[i] == input) {
      return 1;
    }
  }
  return -1;
};

A simple version of the explode() function in PHP. It takes a string and splits it up into an array by splitting it at whatever character (or characters) you specify. For example, reading in a tab delimited text file. Will split it into lines by splitting on returns ("\r"). Then split up the lines by splitting on tabs ("\t").

Attribution: I didn't write this myself, I found it in a comment on one of the Actionscript on-line documentation pages.

function explode(separator:String, string:String) {

        var list = new Array();

        if (separator == null) return false;
        if (string == null) return false;

        var currentStringPosition = 0;
        while (currentStringPosition<string.length) {
                var nextIndex = string.indexOf(separator, currentStringPosition);
                if (nextIndex == -1) break;
                var word = string.slice(currentStringPosition, nextIndex);
                list.push(word);
                currentStringPosition = nextIndex+1;
        }
        if (list.length<1) {
                list.push(string);
        } else {
                list.push(string.slice(currentStringPosition, string.length));
        }
        return list;
}

Here's a cheap little function to mimic the print_r() function from PHP in Actionscript. It's designed to work on most any array and will handle nested arrays through recursion.

//
// recursive function to print out the contents of an array similar to the PHP print_r() funciton
//
function print_a( obj, indent ) {
        if (indent == null) indent = "";
        var out = "";
        for ( item in obj ) {
                if (typeof( obj[item] ) == "object" )
                        out += indent+"[" + item + "] => Object\n";
                else
                        out += indent+"[" + item + "] => " + obj[item]+"\n";
                out += print_a( obj[item], indent+"   " );
        }
        return out;
}
// example call
trace( print_a( example_array ) );

This function will strip out all tabs and return characters. It will also collapse all runs of multiple spaces down to one. It will also remove a leading and trailing spaces. It is similar to the php_strip_whiespace() function in PHP.

function collapseWhiteSpace( theString ) {
        theString =  theString.split("\r").join("");
        theString =  theString.split("\t").join("");
        while ( theString.indexOf("  " ) != -1 ) {
                theString= theString.split("  ").join(" ");
        }
        if (theString.substr(0,1) == " ") {
                theString = theString.substr( 1 );
        }
        if (theString.substr( theString.length-1, 1 ) == " ") {
                theString = theString.substr( 0, theString.length - 1 );
        }
        return( theString );
}

Random number function - returns a number between min and max
Receives (min, max)
Returns randomNum

function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
    var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
    return randomNum;
}

// Countdown code

countDown = function() {
        seconds_conta = seconds_conta - 1;
        hours = int(seconds_conta / 3600);
        minutes = int((seconds_conta / 60) - (hours * 60));
        //seconds = int(seconds_conta-((hours*3600)+minutes*60));
        seconds = int((seconds_conta % 60));
        
        //Se for menor que dez, acrescenta um zero
        if(minutes<10){
                minutes="0"+minutes;
        }
        if(seconds<10){
                seconds="0"+seconds;
        }
        
        //Será que precisa colocar no frame correto?
        timer_txt.text=(hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds);
        
                //trace("seconds_conta: "+seconds_conta);
                //trace("hours: "+hours);
                //trace("minutes: "+minutes);
                //trace("seconds: "+seconds);
        
        if (seconds_conta == 0) {
          clearInterval(timer);
                  //Chama função de acabar a contagem!
                  //fim_das_questões();
     }
} 

///////// Acrescentar no código
//Tempo total inicial em segundos ->Calculado a partir da quantidade de questões
seconds_conta = 185;
///////// Inicia o timer
//A cada 1000 ms, ativa a função countDown, diminuindo um segundo do total
timer = setInterval(countDown, 1000);

function isConnected():Boolean {
var results = mdm.Network.checkConnection();
return results;
}
var hasConnection = isConnected();
mdm.Dialogs.prompt(hasConnection);

var connected:Boolean = false;
function checkConnection():Void {
var myLoadVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onHTTPStatus = function(httpStatus:Number) {
if (httpStatus != 0) {
connected = true;
} else {
connected = false;
}
delete this;
};
myLoadVars.load("http://www.apple.com");
}
checkConnection();

Ideally, at some point, I'll modify the plug-in for EE that shows Flash objects to use flashobject.js.

This code assumes custom fields in the blog.
