I'm in the process of encoding a bunch of :30 sec TV commercials for my portfolio. I'm encoding them with the FL8 Video Encoder. All was well, until my laptop crashed mid-encode. Now every time I attempt to encode, about halfway through the video, the computer spontanously acts as if I've press the power button, and shuts itself off. Note - it doesnt' crash - it does an orderly (unstoppable) shutdown. The same thing happens if I try to encode a single video using Flash 8 itself. Ditto for Sorenson Squeeze 4.3. As long as I'm using on2 VP6, I'm boned. (Squeeze works, just fine, if I use the Sorenson codec, but the file size suffers - dramatically - and I'd much rather use the on2 VP6 codec.) I've deduced from this, that the VP6 encoder must be pooched, but I have no idea where to find the file that might be corrupted. If I could find the offending file(s), I might be able to pull copies from another computer/installation, and overwrite them. On the other hand, it might be better to simply re-install Flash, however I don't want to do it, then get some message about how I've exceeded the number of installations and I can just bloody well go buy a new copy of Flash 8.

Here is a shell script that works for me, you can save it anywhere and give it a name with the .sh extension make it executable like this chmod a+x locmtasc.sh and here is the shell script itself #!/bin/sh echo #!/bin/sh subc.sh echo /usr/local/bin/mtasc $@ subc.sh chmod a+x subc.sh ./subc.sh exit $? note that the shell will create a shell file for you, you don't need to create an empty one yourself. once this is done go in the Eclipse Preferences - Flashout in the Location of mtasc.exe enter the path to your locmtasc.sh : /Users/username/Documents/workspace/locmtasc.sh and voilà you sould be able to make Flashout work with mtasc The thing is that Eclipse adds quotes around the Macromedia Class Path, but it fails to parse correctly through Flashout.

Re: [Flashcoders] Publish my swf direct to server
Dont want to use 3rd party ftp because its another window i have to use. If you can somehow launch a script on publish, then using scp with a pgp/rsa key-pair authentication would be an option because you wouldn't have to enter a password: http://google.com/search?q=ssh+authentication Your server almost certainly supports scp (if it supports ssh, scp works, too), I'd even say it's more likely than that it still supports ftp. If you're using an external editor (which I would recommend anyway) this shouldn't be a problem at all -- I use an AMES setup and adding this to the ant build would be easy.

Re: [Flashcoders] converting/printing swf to eps
Have you looked at SVG as an alternative? You may be able generate this on the client without the server. What about PDF. Have a look at Apache's FOP as a server tool for converting input to various output formats. Let me know what you think of these. There may be more ways to skin this cat. How are the drawings made? If you are capturing the user's interactions, SVG might be pretty easy since it sort of mimics the steps that the user does (start here, draw to here, draw to this point, draw to next point, etc. finish here; move to here, draw to here, etc.) so you may be able to create the SVG by just transforming what you are already doing on the screen.

Re: [Flashcoders] Good Math script for sheet movement when dragedontable
yeah that's close...! What you need is a pendulum simulation, where the clicked point is the pivot, and the centre point is the weight (centre of gravity). I built something like this for www.jak2renegade.com, except there was gravity involved too. (check scene 2). Take out the effects of gravity and you get what you're looking for.

Let me know what you think of these. There may be more ways to skin this cat. How are the drawings made? If you are capturing the user's interactions, SVG might be pretty easy since it sort of mimics the steps that the user does (start here, draw to here, draw to this point, draw to next point, etc. finish here; move to here, draw to here, etc.) so you may be able to create the SVG by just transforming what you are already doing on the screen.

Now every time I attempt to encode, about halfway through the video, the computer spontanously acts as if I've press the power button, and shuts itself off. Note - it doesnt' crash - it does an orderly (unstoppable) shutdown. The same thing happens if I try to encode a single video using Flash 8 itself. Ditto for Sorenson Squeeze 4.3. As long as I'm using on2 VP6, I'm boned. (Squeeze works, just fine, if I use the Sorenson codec, but the file size suffers - dramatically - and I'd much rather use the on2 VP6 codec.) I've deduced from this, that the VP6 encoder must be pooched, but I have no idea where to find the file that might be corrupted. If I could find the offending file(s), I might be able to pull copies from another computer/installation, and overwrite them. On the other hand, it might be better to simply re-install Flash, however I don't want to do it, then get some message about how I've exceeded the number of installations and I can just bloody well go buy a new copy of Flash 8. That would be bad. Any ideas as to what might be wrong...and what I can do to fix this problem? Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] PrintJob causes Abort Script error message.
I have over 20 years of programming experience including at assembler level, advanced Java, etc, but thanks for trying to put me in my place :-) There is no error. There is no timeout. Not in the PrintDialog object. I think the FlashCoders list in general has a silly habbit of saying something like: does mc._xscale = 50 change the width? does anyone know this answer? and then half a week later, after pages of theoretical discussion, someone actually tries out the half-minute test. Try and do anything advanced (such as a stock exchange trading system) and it [breaks] ... That ain't an error with my code! is a DailyWTF-worthy comment. What does a stock exchange trading system have to do with the OS print dialog? I've never seen this error, in any version of Flash since 7 when it was created.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash e-commerce site
Not sure why you would want to use flash for an e-comm site, and this is coming from a person that tries to use flash all the time even when it isn't necessarily appropriate. That being said, we used oscommerce and had a store up and running in less than a week. I was pretty impressed with it. If you absolutely need to use flash I would suggest using a hybrid approach of keeping track of the items in flash and passing the items to the php cart at checkout. I don't know how easy it is to make flash secure, and that would be my biggest worry.

Another good article on something like that is this --

GXRigidBodyDragging/index.html
Here's one of my test SWFs by the way, so you can see what I'm talking
about:
http://hosted.zeh.com.br/misc/novo2.swf
looks great!
i thought that topic is dead for me. but maybe i give a triy again :)
zeh, would you share the code of your test swf?
It's a bit old (should be some kind of class now) but here it is:
Math.decToRad = function (graus) {
return (graus * (Math.PI/180));
}
ASSetPropFlags(Math, decToRad, 1, 1);
Math.radToDec = function (radianos) {
return (radianos / (Math.PI/180));
}
ASSetPropFlags(Math, radToDec, 1, 1);
MovieClip.prototype.makeDraggable = function() {
this.onPress = function() {
this.lastMouseX = this._parent._xmouse;
this.lastMouseY = this._parent._ymouse;
this.onMouseMove = function() {
this.deltaX = this._parent._xmouse - this.lastMouseX;
this.deltaY = this._parent._ymouse - this.lastMouseY;
this.delta = Math.sqrt((this.deltaX*this.deltaX) +
(this.deltaY*this.deltaY));
this.radiusX = this.lastMouseX - this._x;
this.radiusY = this.lastMouseY - this._y;
this.radius = Math.sqrt((this.radiusX*this.radiusX) +
(this.radiusY*this.radiusY));
this.dragAngle = Math.atan2(this.deltaX, this.deltaY) -
Math.atan2(this.radiusX, this.radiusY);
this.rotationAngleSin = this.delta * Math.sin(this.dragAngle) /
this.radius;
this._x += this.deltaX;
this._y += this.deltaY;
var p1 = {x:this._xmouse, y:this._ymouse};
var p2 = {x:this._xmouse, y:this._ymouse};
this.localToGlobal(p1);
this._rotation -= Math.radToDec(Math.asin(this.rotationAngleSin)) *
(this.radius/25);
this.localToGlobal(p2);
this._x -= p2.x-p1.x;
this._y -= p2.y-p1.y;
this.lastMouseX = this._parent._xmouse;
this.lastMouseY = this._parent._ymouse;
updateAfterEvent();
};
this.onMouseMove();
};
this.onMouseUp = function() {
delete this.onMouseMove;
};
};
Then to apply:
myMC.makeDraggable();
This is a literal remake of the equations mentioned on that article I've
linked above (I even used similar variable names). It isn't perfect, though;
you'll notice, for instance, that dragging an object by its center will make
it rotate more than it normally should (as if the whole thing was
lightweight). Probably some kind of strength based on the drag radius should
be applied to the rotation force.
It did work perfect for what I needed, though (I just had to drag objects
from a few special corners).
I know Yugo Nakamura has made something similar a lng time ago (Flash 4)
and it worked great, with inertia and all, but I guess the logics behind his
one were a bit different.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash e-commerce site
Off the top of my head, I'd say you would want to use it for an e-comm site because it is rather well suited for that, imho. The persistent state is perfect for this sort of thing, and allows for the entire checkout process to happen without browser refresh. As far as security goes, put it on an https server - done. With few exceptions, the flash player uses the browser for all of its communication with the server, so you can rest assured that all the data being posted is encrypted - it's the same solution as for security concerns with regular old html pages. Ok, some of the socket connections (XMLsocket, for example, I think) do not use the browser, but for the most part, using SSL is safe. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Potter Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 9:45 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash e-commerce site Not sure why you would want to use flash for an e-comm site, and this is coming from a person that tries to use flash all the time even when it isn't necessarily appropriate.

[Flashcoders] Max connections from T1
Sorry if this is totally obvious, but I just want to confirm before I go making some important and drastic decisions. If I set up FMS2 on a server that's just connected to a T1 line (getting 1300 kbps each direction), and I want to stream FLVs that are encoded at 300 kbps, I'll likely only be able to handle 4 connections at a time. Is that correct? Seems really weak, but the math is pretty simple. No wonder there are streaming solution providers. :) Thanks, -Jed ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

x^2 y^2 == x y
for all positive values of x and y.
Darren
That's what I actually ended up doing, and it worked out pretty good:
private function getClosest (red1:Number, green1:Number,
blue1:Number):Number {
var totalColors:Number = __palette.length;
var tempDistance:Number;
var closestColor:Number;
for (var i:Number = 0; i totalColors; i++) {
// first, break up the color to check
var red2:Number = (__palette[i] 0xFF) 16;
var green2:Number = (__palette[i] 0x00FF00) 8;
var blue2:Number = __palette[i] 0xFF;
// now, get the distance from the source
var tempD:Number = Math.sqrt ((Math.abs(red1 - red2) ^ 2) +
(Math.abs(green1 - green2) ^ 2) + (Math.abs(blue1 - blue2) ^ 2));
if ((tempD = tempDistance) || tempDistance == undefined) {
tempDistance = tempD;
closestColor = __palette[i];
}
}
return closestColor;
}

to calculate the distance between 2 colors.
I have not tried this but it would seem logical that this would work

K, here is some better math for getRGB, performance will probably be
important:
return [c16, c8~0xFF00, c~0xF00];
You can also try using the ColorTransform or Color class to get the rgb
values, except they might be slower than getting the raw math right.

I tried comparing the hex values directly, but there were

maybe the same ones you've been having. I think since the value of a
particular color precedes with a 0 even when it's below 17(0F), the
preceding 0 causes a shifting in the comparison. It would, for
example,
cause 0x00 to seem farther to 0x123456 than 0x00FF00, where
visually you
can see clearly that black is closer to 0x00.
btw in my example, var a = 0x12345 where it should be 0x123456.
The numbers hold to be accurate after correcting this typo.

Does anybody know of any formulas available for comparing multiple

Re: [Flashcoders] If not Zinc, then what?
I always had this feeling Flash is not meant to be run for a long period of time - no one will interact with your Flash movie on browser for 24 hours continuously, so that's absolutely fine. But can anyone tell me if you have successfully developed 24/7 app using Flash wrapped in Zinc/SWFStudio/mProjector/Screenweaver without having issues such as memory leaks? Conversely I've started using a projector (screenweaver) for a 24/7 application because flash has a memory leak. The leak is simply that the garbage collector is not freeing everything, and it is easy to see it is the flash player's problem because minimizing then restoring the window *does* free up the memory. It happens with both Flash 7 and Flash 8 (only analyzed on windows XP). See flashcoder's Memory leak in Flash projector thread for more background (feb 25 2006 and mar 14-16 2006). I had two options: 1. Use a projector to a minimize then restore the window. 2. Start a 2nd application window, initially hidden, then when ready, close the 1st application window, then make the 2nd window visible. I needed a projector to be able to make the application hide/show itself and be hidden initially. The 2nd option is more complex but I chose it as then I can be sure it avoids any memory leaks that the minimize/restore trick does not; and because I was concerned about the desktop appearing briefly using the first option. (The PHP back-end was already controlling the creation of the flash front-end so I had much of the logic already there.)

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2.0 class ................. private function calling...
Hi guys,
Unfortunately, this is old news. Flash's private/public modifiers are
compile-time only. Once actionscript is compiled down to bytecode,
everything's public.
If you want to call private methods, you can do it even more easily like so:
_global.com.yourclass.yourMethod()
or, possibly:
this[className].functionName();
To quote Bjarne Stroustrup (inventor of C++):
Language level protection mechanisms are protection against accident, not
against fraud.

[Flashcoders] Alert window layering issue
I'm having a problem creating an Alert window instance which renders in a layer depth above all other stage elements. The Alert window consistently renders behind some other programatically instantiated movieClip elements. When creating the Alert, I've tried setting the parent parameter (using Alert.show()) to an element which is a subclass of the UIComponent class which is attached to a movieClip on a layer way on top of all other layers in the movie, but the problem persists. The Alert window is centered within this element fine, but it appears beneath it and other elements. Perhaps at the root of my problem is a misunderstanding of the parent parameter of the Alert.show() method. The documentation refers to this as the parent window which must be a subclass of the UIComponent class or the _root timeline. Is the Alert window depth truly inherited from the parent? Is there some method in the UIObject class to change the object instance depth? I'm using Flash 8, ActionScript 2.0. Here's what my Alert instantiation looks like : // test using simple button instance as parent Alert.show(Start?, Alert, Alert.YES | Alert.NO, _root.alertParent_mc.my_button, _global.myController.myAlertClick); // same depth layering as: Alert.show(Start?, Alert, Alert.YES | Alert.NO, undefined, _global.myController.myAlertClick); ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] If not Zinc, then what?
Well, I was probably being too harsh with major bugs, as I can't remember exactly what they were now (it was about 6 months ago I used it). I believe we had the same issue with building - having to reload SW first, but often when reloading it would fail because the process was still running in the background. Also, we had some issues with system dialog boxes, that they displayed multiple times. Anyway, I was somewhat naive as to what to expect of Projector applications, and as SW was quite new to Open Source, had a very small developer and user base, we thought it best to go to a third party.

Re: [Flashcoders] Alert window layering issue
It may be too late, but typically Alert's are created on _root. This is also how ComboBox's and other popups in the PopUpManager are created. If you put 1 movieclip on _root, and put you're entire app in it, you should have no problems. If you creating your own custom movieclips on _root, don't. If you still have to, investigate using PopUpManager instead and using some of DepthManager's constants. Alert.show does return an instance, so if you're brave, you can force it up. - Original Message - From: Stephen Downs [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 8:49 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Alert window layering issue I'm having a problem creating an Alert window instance which renders in a layer depth above all other stage elements.

Re: [Flashcoders] converting/printing swf to eps
Ok, let me get this straight: You don't want to convert a .swf file into a .eps file. You want to export data generated from within your .swf file into a .eps file? If it is just vector images you want to export, than I would say go with SVG, it's XML based, and most vector image tools will read in SVG. There are various free tools which will let you convert SVG into a raster image if you need. --- If you want to do PDF, search for PHP or ASP (depending on your server scripting language) PDF libraries. There are several out there, that will let you do something like: $pdf = new PDF(); // create a new PDF $pdf-drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2); // draw a line on the PDF...the data is passed in from your swf $pdf-writeFile(output.pdf); // save out a .pdf file. -David R On 4/3/06, Gabriel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What I need is to import the drawing, that's why I choose eps (but the only real need is that it must be vectorial), Not really to export the image created by the user, but recreate it on the server side, based on a few parameters.

Let me know what you think of these. There may be more ways to skin this cat. How are the drawings made? If you are capturing the user's interactions, SVG might be pretty easy since it sort of mimics the steps that the user does (start here, draw to here, draw to this point, draw to next point, etc. finish here; move to here, draw to here, etc.) so you may be able to create the SVG by just transforming what you are already doing on the screen.
