Re: [swfmill] include Bytearray

[Robin Palotai]

 Which Haxe version? Could you send a small example swf-lib + compiled 
swf (separate the lib, and the compiled haxe-swf, to see where do the 
bytes get missed)?

Robin

2010.10.05. 16:59 keltezéssel, Thom Any írta:
Does anybody know, when I include binary data, why the first two bytes 
dissapear?

Maybe there is something I'm doing wrong?
Im including a file as follows: (swfmill simple)

Then, I define the class: (haXe)
class Game extends flash.utils.ByteArray { public function new() { 
super(); } }

I create a new instance of this Class, and convert it to a ByteArray:
var _data:ByteArray = cast(new Game(), ByteArray);
When I read this _data, the first two bytes are not there.

Re: [swfmill] is it possible to compile SWF to version 9?

[Robin Palotai]

 By the way, SamHaxe can generate the class entries too 
(genclass="symbolAndClass" is the default for asset import).

Yes, with the simple dialect it won't work. At least not the way it 
worked before haxe 2.06. In the older haXe versions the compiler 
generated those classes for you, but it does no longer)


Your options are:
1) Don't use the simple dialect. (Easier said than done. You can use 
the swf2xml command to see what you need to create)

2) Create the class yourself in haXe (as suggested by Nicolas)
3) Use the tool I posted to 'repair' your swfmill swf. (it will do 
what the older version of the haXe compiler did, which is to 
create/inject a class for each asset)
4) Modify the swfmill compiler so it generates those classes in the 
simple dialect.

5) Use another 'assets swf compiler '

Re: [swfmill] SWFMILL - is it possible to create file similar to to files out of Sorenson Squeeze.

[Robin Palotai]

Hi,

According to the SWF file format spec
(http://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf/pdf/swf_file_format_spec_v10.pdf):

- streaming sound and video can be interleaved into the frames, so
jumping to a frame automatically jumps to the correct portion of the
audio/video too
- unfortunately, the only sensible video streams supported (Sorenson
H.263 and Truemotion VP6) are proprietary, meaning that possibly no
open-source solutions will be able to encode into (or even decode
from) these formats legally (this may not be accurate, but is the
rough picture). There is a naive bitmap-stored video format too, which
may be suitable for screencasts.

Altogether, while with the said limitations it would be possible to
implement, I think swfmill doesn't implement any of these now.

BR,
Robin

Re: [swfmill] Issue with swfmill command

[Robin Palotai]

Hi,

If available, you can try to use the swfdump program from the swftools
program package to test is everything seems well with the swf.
Alternatively you could post an example of "corrupted" swf to see what
is the error with it.

Re: [swfmill] loading order

[Robin Palotai]

Flash player will load the frames of an swf file in sequence and will
start executing the code of the first frame as soon as the first frame
is loaded. You can do the following:

1, main code starts loading external engine swf, waits for it to load
2, meanwhile, the second frame with heavy assets is already loading
3, external swf loaded, you should now wait in main until the second
frame is loaded
4, do the logic with the engine and assets

Alternatively, you can just load the assets from a separate external
swf too instead of placing them on the second frame.

Re: [swfmill] Reduce the size of my library

[Robin Palotai]

You can post-process the image manually into two images: RGB without
alpha, and separate image with alpha channel as black-white. Then in
swfmill you can use something like
 (not sure about
file types here).
This would include the rgb file jpeg-compressed, and the alpha channel
zlib-compressed.

Alternatively check the SamHaxe doc of the image import module:
http://mindless-labs.com/samhaxe/doc/1.0/files/src/modules/Image-hx.html

[swfmill] need windows build environment zipped

[Robin Palotai]

Hi,

I am trying to build some custom modifications against the latest
swfmill, but I cannot get it compile on Windows (or more like I can
get it compile and then have a segfault on any operation).

If you were able to compile on windows, I would like to ask you to
package the whole development environment (cygwin?) in a zip file and
upload it somewhere so that I would have a stable starting point. What
I am looking for is unpacking the zip, executing the cygwin shell, and
be able to instanty compile the thing.

[swfmill] added wav file support

[Robin Palotai]

Hi!

I added WAVE (.wav) file import to swfmill. The sampling rates as
supported by flash are 5.5kHz, 11kHz, 22kHz and 44kHz, coding is only
plain PCM (no ADPCM support). Patches are available for both current
stable swfmill 0.2.12 and current subversion (v.250).

These patches also include the Mp3 import fixes described in a
previous post (if you already applied the sole mp3 patch, please
recover the original swft_import_mp3.cpp by copying over (or reverting
in svn) so that the new patch won't argue.. however, this isn't
strictly necessary).

Steps of patching:
* Download the appropriate patch. For the tarball swfmill-0.2.12:
swfmill-0.2.12-wav_mp3.patch, or for subversion:
swfmill-svn-250-wav_mp3.patch
  from: http://www.mindless-labs.com/files/swfmill/
* cd to your swfmill directory, one level above the src directory
(that's "trunk" in case of svn, or the top directory for tarball)
* copy the downloaded patch file there
* execute: patch -p0 < swfmill-whatyoudownloaded-wav_mp3.patch
* execute: automake && ./configure
* execute: make (and maybe make install)

That's all. Please report if you had succes or stumbled upon something buggy!
Thanks and good luck!
Robin

Hi list !

I try to create font  with swfmill and use it in a flash application.
In order to create font I use an xml like :

*




   

 

*


In my file build.dat wiche create the font unsing swfmill iI have this :

*swfmill.exe simple "bin\xml\Face Front.xml" "swf\fonts\latin-basic\Face
Front.swf"


pause


exit*


The swf of the font is correctly create. When I want to use this
generate font, I load the swf in my application and when is loaded I
create a textfield with the embedFonts properties turn on true, I create
a textformat with the propertie "font" set with the name of the font :
*Face Front *in this example.
When I launch the main swf of my application I see nothing, but if
with the flash contextual menu I change the zoom the textField suddenly
appear, I can next set the normal zoom and it is ok too.

It is very strange, I don't know if the cause is the swf file of the
font ... But I think it is not strangeer of the probleme. Because, if I
try to creta simple textfield they are display without problem.

Can anybody help me ?   :-)

[swfmill] mp3 import fix

[Robin Palotai]

Hello All!

After some investigation, I found that swfmill's mp3 import code was a
bit limited, allowing only to import 44.1kHz stereo mp3 (a bit better
in subversion, but still not complete).

With this fix, all the flash-supported 44, 22 and 11kHz mono/stereo
mp3's can be included.

Apply the patch to or simply overwrite src/swft/swft_import_mp3.cpp of
swfmill (either targz or svn).

http://www.mindless-labs.com/blog/files/swft_import_mp3.cpp

Maybe this can make it to the repository if provides to be correct.

Good luck swfmilling!
