RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 scripting, first try - some Q's
Hi Mike, I didnt know FlashCoders was a place to get one's code reviewed for silly mistakes in logic. Hence I just cleared your way from thinking its an AS3 problem. Anyways glad to know you figured it out. You're right, it's not and I did think it was an AS2 - AS3 translation problem, it wasn't, great, but it wouldn't have hurt too much to just post what the problem actually was as well would it? And for your second question, I had already replied to it. Hadn't seen this, looked back through the archive and found it now, for some reason it wasn't being grouped in the same subject. I had actually tried this approach - but it seemed to effect the whole document, not individual mc's - will revisit.

[Flashcoders] FLVPlayback connectionError
Hello, I finally decided to expose my problem to this list, after seeking a solution for days... Finding out people had the same issues, but no solutions. The problem : I have an FLVPlayback component on the stage, which is supposed to playback some videos... The tricky part being sometimes the videos don't exist, and then a default picture should be displayed instead. The bug : everytime the component tries to load a non-existing flv, it goes into connectionError state (normal), non-responsive... The abnormal part being it's not possible afterwards to make that component return in a responsive state, load another flv, etc Doing research, I found out others faced the same issue, but i haven't seen any solutions... Except one work-around maybe : attaching the component programmaticaly. Doing so solves the non-responsive state part of the problem, but it makes other issues arise, such as strange statebchanges (while buffering, the component goes into various states : stopped, playing, etc... making the playPauseButton blink for exemple)... So well... Before getting into the writing of my own video player (not very complicated anyway, but you know... :)), has anyone found a solution/workaround for what seems to be a pretty annoying bug?

Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback connectionError
Hi, thanks a lot! Actually, if not proven wrong, i will believe this is the best work-around :) What I did : embed the flvplayback component in a 3 keyframes movieclip : frame 1 blank frame 2 with the video component and a stop action frame 3 with the default error picture According to the state changes, i go to (and stop) frame 3 if there's an error, gotoandplay frame 1 if i need to play a video, so that the component gets reinitialized. Like you said, it's a bit of a long shot, but it seems to work.

[Flashcoders] Video project - advice
Hi - I have been asked to create a Flash based application to present a few hundred video clips. The application needs to be delivered on both CD-Rom and Web (standard web server i.e. not Flash Streaming Servers). I am fine with AS but have not used Flash video for a while! The application needs to be coded to Flash 7.0 or greater (though, I am trying to get them to go with Flash 8.0). I am looking for some advice as timings are tight to help avoid last minute pitfalls. Also - does the FLVPlayback component work with Flash player 7.0? Any feedback / sharing of experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason.

Re: [Flashcoders] Video project - advice
Also - does the FLVPlayback component work with Flash player 7.0? NO. You wont be able to publish the FLA with a FLVPlayback component, to Flash Player 7.0 swf. If you can get ur clients ( or boss ) to agree for Flash player 8, you can use FLVPlayback component. FLVPlayback works well with local FLV playback and HTTP progressive download. I just did a FLV player with FLVPlayback, configured for FVSS streaming and I had a few local FLVs for testing. I had the playlist on a XML file, and so had 2 versions of the playlist sml. One which pointed to the FVSS FLV paths and another that pointed to the local files. The only issue with RTMP was that my office proxy server wasn't letting the flv stream through. Had to fiddle with it for a while. Otherwise its a pretty simple thing! Good luck. ~Arul Prasad On 7/28/06, Jason Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi - I have been asked to create a Flash based application to present a few hundred video clips.

Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback connectionError
One thing to note about the FLV Playback component is that under the
hood it uses VideoPlayer Objects. I believe if you use SMIL to make
the player play multiple videos, the FLV Playback will use a new
VideoPlayer Object for each new video that is requested. If you are not
using SMIL, it seems that the FLV Playback always tries to use the same
VideoPlayer Object unless you explicitly tell it to change. And I have
found (at least in certian situations) that can cause problems similar
to what you describe. Below is the method I use to make the player use
a new VideoPlayer object each time I ask it to play a video. This
method is part of a wrapper class I use so... player is a property that

Re: [Flashcoders] load/send XML data | Flash/JavaScript Integration Kit
Hi Peter,
I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, but I have used this
approach several times and it works great for me.
I usually connect flash to PHP, but it should be the same way for JSP.
This is PHP code. Have your JSP process whatever it has to process in
order to get the data. The write the data as if you were outputing a
regular XML file, but in this case not to a file, but just output with
prints or something similar (I don't know JSP).
$xml ='?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?'.\n;
$xml.='data'.\n;
$xml.='item id=1This is text inside item 1/item'.\n;
$xml.='item id=2This is text inside item 2/item'.\n;
$xml.='item id=3![CDATA[bThis is HTML inside item 3, inside CDATA
so it won't get parsed/b]]/item'.\n;
$xml.='/data'.\n;
header(Content-type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8);
echo utf8_encode($xml);
Inside flash I use a trick I found. We can use a LoadVars object to make
the request to the server, sending info through POST or GET, and have it
load directly into a XML object.
_global.dynamicLoadedXml = new XML();
_global.dynamicLoadedXml.ignoreWhite = true;
_global.dynamicLoadedXml.onLoad = function(success){
//This code is executed once the load is complete. In other words
once your JSP file is processed and returns a code similar to the above.
if(sucess){
//the file was successfully loaded. Do whatever you need in
terms of parsing.
var root:XMLNode = this.firstChild;
_global.dataArray = new Array();
for(var i:Number = 0; iroot.childNodes.length; i++){
var node:XMLNode = root.childNodes[i];
_global.dataArray[i] = node.attributes.id;
}
}else{
//the file was not successfully loaded. Send error feedback to user.
}
}
//these are the vars you are going to send through POST
_global.varsToUseByJSP = new LoadVars();
_global.varsToUseByJSP.id = valueToSend; //whatever value you want to
send to JSP through POST
//use this to avoid cache problems loading the XML
var rnd = Math.round(Math.random()*1);
var urlToGo = http://www.xpto.com/process.php?rnd=; + rnd;
_global.varsToUseByJSP.sendAndLoad(urlToGo, _global.dynamicLoadedXml,
POST);
Good Luck! :-)

[Flashcoders] How to declare an instance in a MovieClip in a AS3 class
In a ActionScript 3.0 class how is an instance placed in a MovieClip
symbol with which the class is associated declared?
In ActionScript 2.0 an instance can be simply declared with 'var'.
// ActionScript 2.0 class definition: ButtonTest.as
// This is associated with a MovieClip symbol
class ButtonTest extends MovieClip {
// my_btn is placed in the MovieClip symbol
var my_btn:Button;
However, ActionScript 3.0 yields a compile error to the class definition
below.
// ActionScript 3.0 class definition: ButtonTest.as
// This is associated with a MovieClip symbol
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

Any advices or suggestions would be very appreciated.

[Flashcoders] Get embed page URL with Actionscript?
I am trying to find a way to get the URL of the embedded page with ActionScript. We are providing embed code for users to embed a player on remote sites... sort of the way people are embedding videos on MySpace right now. I'd like to be able to know which sites/web pages are embedding the player. Is there anything like _root._url that I could use? -- Kevin Baker Mission Vi Inc.

[Flashcoders] skinning the DataGrid component
I'm trying to skin the DataGrid component in Flash 8. All I really want to do is turn the background of the grid transparent. I've been able to skin other components by passing an object to the component as I create it. However, I'm having some trouble with DataGrid. Has anyone had any success with this? ___ 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
