[Flashcoders] Progressivelly download (and show) a jpg image
Is it possible somehow to progressivelly show a jpg being loaded via loadMovie()? The topdown effect that is native in images loaded via html... as far as I know, It´s only possible to show the image in the flash player after it has been completely loaded, but I remember seeing an example of such thing on flashkit once...

[Flashcoders] duplicateMovie / setInterval problem
Hi I'm trying to duplicate a MC by adding a time delay with setInterval
It
doesn't seems to work can anyone help?
Thanks alot.
//Code
var container:MovieClip = setUpContainer(); var ln:Number = 30; var
spacer:Number = 0; var newMC:MovieClip;
var listeMC = new Array();
for (var i=1 ; i=30; i++)
{
newMC = container.duplicateMovieClip(clip-+i,
i+10);
newMC._y = (newMC._height + spacer) * i;
newMC._alpha -= i*4;
clearInterval(intervalID);
}
var intervalID =setInterval(setUpContainer,1);
function setUpContainer():MovieClip {
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(container,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.lineStyle(1, 0xff, 0)
mc.beginFill(0x000, 100);
mc.moveTo(10,0);
mc.lineTo(10,0);
mc.lineTo(10,10);
mc.lineTo(0,10);
mc.lineTo(0,0);
mc._x = 1;
mc._y = 0;
mc.endFill();
return mc;

[Flashcoders] Delegate and [self] Argument
Hi All,
In the delegate class from Steve Webster, there is this line:
var fullArgs:Array = arguments.concat(self.extraArgs, [self]);
I was wondering if anyone knows why there is a reference to self passed to
the handler function. Or how might this be useful? This extra argument could
cause a problem depending upon what your hander function does with
parameters, for example if you have a function with a dynamic number of
variables.
I'm debating whether I should keep this [self] reference in a helper
function I wrote (see below), that is similar to delegate.
JJ
Here's the short helper function I wrote: it executes a function after a
specified delay and repeats the call if the optional 'repeat' variable is
passed in
//
// Two ways to use this function
//delay( timeDelay, target, handler )
//delay( timeDelay, repeat, target, handler )
public static function delay( timeDelay:Number ):Void
{
// Create the timeDelay function
var timerDelay:Function = function()
{
// Get reference to self
var self:Function = arguments.callee;
// Augment arguments passed from broadcaster with additional
args
// Note: The [self] array addition passes a reference to the
callee itself and passes
// this as a parameter to the handler which could cause
unforseen problems. It is not
// clear to me why delegate passes this reference.
var fullArgs:Array = arguments.concat(self.extraArgs, [self]);
self.repeat--;
if( self.repeat == 0 )
{
clearInterval( self.intervalId );
}
// Call handler with arguments
return self.handler.apply(self.target, fullArgs);
};
// Pass in local references
// The arguments passed in have different meaning whether we have
// repeat variable or not
if( typeof( arguments[1] ) == number )
{
timerDelay.repeat = arguments[1];
timerDelay.target = arguments[2];
timerDelay.handler = arguments[3];
timerDelay.extraArgs = arguments.slice(4);
}
else
{
timerDelay.repeat = 1;
timerDelay.target = arguments[1];
timerDelay.handler = arguments[2];
timerDelay.extraArgs = arguments.slice(3);
}
// start the timer interval
timerDelay.intervalId = setInterval( timerDelay, timeDelay );
}

[Flashcoders] Accurate duration info from the Sound Class
Since mySound.duration reflects *loaded* duration - there is no way to get the actual duration of a loaded mp3 through the Sound class. A work around and what I've been doing: Divide mySound.getBytesLoaded by mySound.getBytesTotal to get a percentage of the song that is currently loaded; and then take mySound.duration and divide that by the percentage loaded. Provided that the duration property of mySound is accurately representing the amount of ms loaded, I should arrive at an accurate result. Unfortunately, both properties do not synchronize 100%, and the duration value progressively gains accuracy as the mp3 loads, opposed to getting a correct duration immediately. I would really like to find a more accurate way. Ideally I would like to get the complete duration of a loaded mp3 through flash immediately upon stream so the end-user doesn't see the progress bar jutting backwards and the total duration value slowly increasing as the song loads--without depending on external scripts or an xml playlist file...etc. Any help / insight appreciated, Joseph Sorensen ___ 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] FLV or MP3 stops during tween
I don't seem to have this issue. NetStream and NetConnection work fine in an object as an object variable, instantiated within the object. -V Dan Rogers wrote: For the record... I think I finally figured out what the problem was with my FLV. It turns out to have less to do with Tweening functions and more to do with the fact that the NetStream class hates to be instantiated into a local variable. As a reference for anyone having trouble with NetStream, FLV and AS2, just remember a couple things: 1) NetConnection and NetStream instances should be stored as movieclip or object properties, not local variables. 2) If you instantiate NetConnection and NetStream in an AS2 class, make sure the class is not instantiated into a local variable, either. This behavior seems strange to me, and I'm not sure if it's already a known bug. If anyone can shed any further light on this topic, it would be appreciated :) -Dan On Jun 29, 2006, at 7:52 PM, Dan Rogers wrote: Hi there, first time on the list... I am working on a pretty intensive flash UI, which makes use of onEnterFrame events, Tween class animations, etc... and whenever I try to stream in an FLV or MP3, the playback completely stops after about 5-10 seconds. I can usually make it stop by rolling my mouse over a movieclip that uses a Tween to do an alpha fade. Has anyone had any experience troubleshooting this? I'm using Flash 8 and AS2... and am completely stumped at this point. I've tried both the mx.transitions.Tween and the ZigoTween engine, and they both bring the FLV to a halt.

Re: [Flashcoders] Determining when the Stage *stops* resizing
Works an absolute treat. Thanks EKA!

Hello :)
You can use a setInterval to test the stop of the resizing :)
example :
// o Singleton
StageResizer = {} ;
// o Init Broadcaster
AsBroadcaster.initialize(StageResizer) ; // inject broadcast methods
// o Listen Stage onResize event !
Stage.addListener(StageResizer) ;
// o Public Property
StageResizer.id /*Number*/ = null ;
StageResizer.delay /*Number*/ = 100 ;
// o Public Method
StageResizer.reset = function () {
clearInterval(this.id) ;
this.id = null ;
}
StageResizer.stopResizing = function () {
this.broadcastMessage(onStopResize) ;
this.reset() ;
}
StageResizer.startResizing = function () {
if (this.id == null) {
this.broadcastMessage(onStartResize) ;
}
clearInterval(this.id) ;
this.id = setInterval(this, stopResizing, this.delay) ;
}
StageResizer.onResize = StageResizer.startResizing ;
// -o TEST
var listener = {} ;
listener.onStartResize = function () {
trace(start resize) ;
}
listener.onStopResize = function () {
trace(stop resize) ;
}
StageResizer.addListener(listener) ;

2006/6/29, Matt Bennett [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hello all,
I've got a perplexing problem and I've run out of ideas to solve it -
I hope you can help!
I have an application that runs fullscreen in the browser - so the
object is set to 100%x100% and the Stage.scaleMode is noScale. The
application realigns itself via a Stage.onResize listener.
The problem I have, is determining when the user *stops* resizing the
Stage (i.e the last Stage onResize event in any given resize). For
example, the widgets inside my application get resized as the stage
resizes, and since they too have their own layout code, they need to
know when they're being resized. Consequently, when the stage stops
resizing I also need to tell them that they're no longer resizing
also.
I've had a couple of ideas on how to solve the problem:
1. Add some method to the Stage.prototype. I'm not really sure what I
should be looking for though. Does onMouseUp get registered if the
mouse is not over the flash window?
2. The HTML body onResize event gets broadcast when the browser window
stops resizing, so I thought I might be able to use that. Is there any
way to send information via flashVars after the movie has loaded?
Many thanks in advance,
Matt.
