RE: [Flashcoders] simulating narrowband connection
I have been using a product called netlimiter. Which does a very good job! The good thing about this is it also lets you limit the connection speed to files ran of local network servers :o) Gives stats and other info as well, I found using this in conjunction with trace plus is a fantastic way to test and debug all internet applications I build (netlimiter is pc based). http://www.netlimiter.com/ Hope this helps Ali -Original Message- From: Robin Burrer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 December 2005 22:46 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] simulating narrowband connection Thanks everybody!

Problem overview: using Xpath, HTML tags inside of XML does not render, even with CDATA tags applied. Problem detail: I am using xfactorstudios' Xpath classes to bring in XML node data which contains text and HTML tags to display in a Flash text area component in the Flash 7 player. Here is a snippet of the XML: http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/'Center for Devices of Radiological Health. More text...]] The text area component IS set to HTML=true, but when it renders, it shows the text plus the HTML: Welcome to the Center for Devices of Radiological Health. More text... Does the same thing with a regular dynamic text field. If I hard code the same string directly in the .fla, it renders properly in the text field and/or component. The string from XPath returns, interestingly enough, looks like this: Welcome to the a href='http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/'Center for Devices of Radiological Health/a. More text... Not sure why Xpath is changing the string from . to /a, but Flash doesn't like it obviously. Anyone come across this before and have a solution?

RE: [Flashcoders] External text from XML file including superscriptanditalic
Italics are easy, just with a i/i tags if you set your textfield to accept HTML and enclose the text in the XML with CDATA tags. Trademark in HTML is usually trade; or #8482- don't know if there is a spec for service mark yet. But I don't think Flash's HTML DOM supports those symbols unfortunately. I have heard of people inserting graphics, but that's a pain, and not sure if it's the best/only approach. Maybe someone else knows.

[Flashcoders] RE: 3D in Flash
A possible example of the functionality that you are talking about is by IKEA on http://demo.fb.se/e/ikea/dreamkitchen/site/default.html They use the Matrix like 3D spinning views for different kitchen designs. If you were to combine FLVs of each hotel room like this, with short transitional FLVs for moving between rooms, I assume that you should be able to simulate a complete user controlled walkthrough of a 3D space as long as you were only concerned with one viewpoint per room. But again, I've never tried it, and I assume that it would take some time to create. Another fun example that does this for some spaces is the movie Corpse Brides official site http://corpsebridemovie.warnerbros.com/ .

Re: [Flashcoders] License rules when distributing Flash exe files?
I would definitely contact Adobe/Macromedia about that. Don't rely on anyone else to tell you what you can and can't do with someone else's product. The Flash player is also included with Flash 8 but you can't simply distribute it how you wish. The EXE you produce with Flash 8 contains the Flash player, so I'd look a little deeper into it. http://www.macromedia.com/licensing/distribution/faq/ Check out the question: Are the debugger or standalone Players included in the Free Licensing Agreement? Maybe you're fine, but there's a link on that page where you can contact Adobe/Macromedia, so you can be sure. Especially if you're planning on doing something commercially I would verify the licensing, even if you need a lawyer's opinion. I'm not trying to scare anyone.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading Image _width _height
just FYI: According to the MM livedoc discussion, MovieClipLoader.onLoadInit() can often be called before the content is loaded. The discussion in based on loading movies instead of images, so I'm not sure if it's relevant to your solution. -radley On Dec 9, 2005, at 3:05 PM, Josh Buhler wrote: Right. you should be able to just use MovieClipLoader.onLoadInit(), which will fire when whatever you loaded is ready to actually be used. - Josh On Dec 9, 2005, at 3:59 PM, Scott Hyndman wrote: Doesn't MovieClipLoader remove the necessity of this approach if you hook into onLoadInit()? I believe that onLoadInit() is only fired when the loaded image/swf's properties are available.

Re: [Flashcoders] 3D in Flash
The simplest approach would be to shoot a series of photos within the space and splice them together so they're seamless. This will allow for x-axis y-axis movement (look left, right, up, down). As for z- axis you could fake it by making hot regions that you can click on, and then simply dissolve to the new location. By this I mean: there's a doorway to a new room - user clicks on it and a cross-fade brings you to the new room. This is essentially what you're going to get with QTVR as well. If you want to have actual z-axis movement (forward backward motion), you're most likely going to need to do some 3D modeling and generate animations for all of the potential positions. You can apply texture maps using swift3D or other 3D app and pre-render each movement. (Probably the most time intensive approach.) Shockwave 3D will probably give you the fullest 3D motion experience allowing the viewer to move around in any direction. But it's also pretty processor intensive. These last 2 solutions will take a lot of time to create and requires multiple skill-sets. If you're green, I'd not recommend either without some practice first. -radley On Dec 9, 2005, at 6:52 AM, nik crosina wrote: Hi guys I am trying to find the best way forward here...

[Flashcoders] And these [EMAIL PROTECTED] paths
Now guys, If you make time to answer these questions 2 times, could you point me out of this in a way. My 2nd post since no one seems te hear me. see down. Regards, Latcho aka Stijn A COPY PASTE: / / /Hi their, pretty a newbee but trying hard to go FAMES on 'NIX have ANT working, even executing flash8player via wine and ASDT installed. Ignoring flashout for the time beign till player 8(.5 ) becomes available and a good opportunity to learn to work with ant (am i wright?). The only thing I miss is the code completion like in SEPY, where I can get to (the methods of) the standard mx classes via CTRL+space. Now I only get asdt to display the predefined snippets or newly declared classes'n stuff. I can't get the std(8) folder defined in the eclipse projects classpath nor doing it via the the declarations of paths in eclipse-preferences-AS2 MTASC submenu's gives me predefined mx class code hinting. Is their a way? What I noticed is that it works perfect if I hard-import the std folder in my project's src folder. But that's not the way, wright? Hard to find info on this, and some advice about a good workflow setup and code-hinting setup would do me great pleasure!
