Thanks Charles! However I didn't wanted to put a MovieClip into a BitmapData, I wanted to do the opposite.

Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback connectionError
Good things to know I think I'll look further into this next time i
have to deal with flv players, for now i'll simply stick with the above
mentionned hack, can't afford to waste any more time experimenting :)
Thank you very much for your input, it'll certainly come in handy the
next time!
cheers,
J.
Steve Krichten a écrit :
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 referes to the FLV Playback instance and nextVpIndex is
a property that stores an integer to keep track of what VideoObject to
use next. I don't use the VideoObject at index 0 because that one
cannot be deleted.
private function _playVideo(url:String) {
if (player.activeVideoPlayerIndex 0) {
player.closeVideoPlayer(player.activeVideoPlayerIndex);
delete player.getVideoPlayer(player.activeVideoPlayerIndex);
}
player.activeVideoPlayerIndex = ++nextVpIndex;
player.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = nextVpIndex;
player.play(url);
}

Re: [Flashcoders] AS and virtual functions
Only the standard be really careful what you do when calling methods
in your constructor issue.
i.e.
class A
{
function A()
{
someFunction();
}
function someFunction()
{
// do Something
}
}
class B extends A
{
function B()
{
super();
// set up some initialisation stuff here... (*)
}
function someFunction()
{
// This is automatically called by the parent class's constructor...
// Do something that relies on (*) here - oh, we can't, the
initialisation step hasn't been
// carried out yet!
}
}
In AS2 this does work, but clearly can cause a problem. In C++ it's a
whole different kettle of fish if you do this with a virtual function,
as you might (depending on the compiler) end up calling the parent
implementation of someFunction instead of the child function as the
virtual function table hasn't been properly constructed yet... (in
better compilers you get a compile error) but at least you could have
avoided marking someFunction as virtual, and thus got predictable
behaviour (the parent implementation called every time).
In other words - I can't think of any major issues. But as a general
rule, take care calling potentially overridden functions from the
constructor...

RE: [Flashcoders] AS and virtual functions
If you are concerned about performance differences between virtual and non-virtual functions than AS2 is propably the wrong language for you ;) I can´t think of other downsides except that you would be able to override a function at compile-time by mistake without making the compiler shouting at you...

Re: RE: [Flashcoders] Problems getting the brightness of a colorreturnedfrom getPixel
Brightness of color can be found in quite easy way.
If we have decimal representation of RGB brightness in percents will be
100*(((R+G+B)/3)/255)
Color brightness represents position of particular color in color tween from
0xFF at 0 position The base color at position 127.5 and 0x0 at 255.
2006/7/30, Bernard Poulin [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
hum, I guess you missed my last post(?)
Here's the code again:
function computeBrightness(pixelvalue)
{
var r = pixelvalue 16 0xFF;
var g = pixelvalue 8 0xFF;
var b = pixelvalue 0xFF;
var bright = Math.max(Math.max(r,g),b);
return Math.round((bright/255)*100);
}
And for an optimized/faster version, you could try something like:
function computeBrightness(pixelvalue)
{
// returns the larger value of r, g or b -- and scale it down to a
0..100
range.
var r = pixelvalue 16 0xFF;
var g = pixelvalue 8 0xFF;
var b = pixelvalue 0xFF;
var bright = (rg)?((rb)?r:b):((gb)?g:b);
return (bright/255)*100; // no rounding.
}
(Again, this is untested code -- but it looks like it should work).

HI Guys, Thanks very much to you all for your help and explanations. I
understood that the number represented a colour value but I now have a
much better understanding of how it does so.
In your opinion what is the most efficient way to retrieve the
relative brightness of that colour.
What I need is a value between 0 and 100 where 0 is black and 100 is
white and the numbers in-between represent the shades in-between.
What I am going to try is this.
Split the number into its components RGB
use this code which came from the Flash API project
//colorModel converter RGB-HSB
//returns a hsb object
RGBtoHSB = function(rgb){
var r = rgb.r
var g = rgb.g
var b = rgb.b
var hsb = new Object();
hsb.b = Math.max(Math.max(r,g),b);
var min = Math.min(Math.min(r,g),b);
hsb.s = (hsb.b = 0) ? 0 : Math.round (100*(hsb.b - min)/hsb.b);
hsb.b = Math.round((hsb.b /255)*100);
hsb.h = 0;
if((r == g) (g == b)){
hsb.h = 0;
} else if(r = g g = b){
hsb.h = 60*(g-b)/(r-b);
} else if(g = r r = b){
hsb.h = 60 + 60*(g-r)/(g-b);
} else if(g = b b = r){
hsb.h = 120 + 60*(b-r)/(g-r);
} else if(b = g g = r){
hsb.h = 180 + 60*(b-g)/(b-r);
} else if(b = r r = g){
hsb.h = 240 + 60*(r-g)/(b-g);
} else if(r = b b = g){
hsb.h = 300 + 60*(r-b)/(r-g);
} else{
hsb.h = 0;
}
hsb.h = Math.round(hsb.h);
return hsb;
}
to turn it into an object with three values hue saturation and
brightness and then just make use of the brightness.
If there is a better way especially a more efficient way I would
really like to know.

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Problems getting the brightness of a

You seem to be thinking of numbers as if they are stored like strings.
They aren't.
RGB colors are stored as 3-byte (24-bit) numbers.
For example, red looks like this in binary:
b
...which is the same thing as this in hexadecimal:
0xFF
... which is the same thing as this in decimal:
16711680
To isolate, for example the red portion, you can use SHIFT RIGHT ()
to
shift all bits to the right by 16 bits. Binary:
b 16 = b
Hexadecimal:
0xFF 16 = 0xFF
Decimal:
16711680 16 = 255
Generally it's a good idea not to presume that there may not be more
bits to the left, so you can filter them out using a bitwise AND ().
To
explain, this better, here's how to extract the green value from
bright
cyan (0x7F):
The binary value of the color:
0111
Split into colors:
0111
Shift right 8 bits:
10111b 8 =
In hexadecimal, this result is:
0x
In decimal, it is:
65535
Clearly this is too large, because it includes the red value. To
remove
it, we use a bitwise AND.
b 0xFF = b = 0xFF
To illustrate, we are taking this value:
b (=0x; =65535)
...and doing a bitwise AND with

You are attaching everything to the _root, so you need to clean up the clips
one by one, unless you decide to better nest your menu submenu items in
one movieclip. You could then remove it much easier, etc.

You don't attach the BitmapData, you have to attach a Bitmap object via the addChild method.

[Flashcoders] Interactive Map Examples
hi. i'm looking for examples of interactive flash maps. i'm trying to see what else is out there as i build out my application...which will be a map of the US. what i'd like is that a user can click a state and that state will be the prominent viewpoint from which a user can select a county. i've heard of examples where the state, in some planar 3D motion, will stand up and the map of the US will almost lay down beneath it, so to speak. but i'd also like to take the state and perhaps center it in the view container and get rid of the US map entirely. anyhow, if anyone can point me to some examples that'd be very much appreciated. thank you. -- matt. ___ 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
[Flashcoders] Loading a 3500 entry XML file
Hi all, For reasons I'd rather not get into :s I'm loading an XML file into flash with 3500 entries (each has 13 child nodes describing elements of the entry). To my initia, happyl surprise, Flash 8 only took several seconds to load it! I'm easing into processing to vars, and realized I needed something with no whitespace so flash could discern it's contents properly. When I told flash to .ignoreWhite on the XML object it kaks out and dies (unresponsive and crash). I decided to save it the trouble and had a developer strip the whitespace out of the actual XML file when generated from the Database. Smaller file (sans whitespace) however.that becomes unresponsive on load too, and crashes Flash! (even with the .ignoreWhite removed). Any ideas why? Any suggested other methods?

RE: [Flashcoders] Loading a 3500 entry XML file
Now there's an interesting problem. I have one really awkward idea. I'm assuming the XML structure is something like this? ?xml version=1.0? root entry entry-data / !--12 more entry-data nodes-- /entry !--3499 more entry nodes-- /root - Use the XML object's onData handler so that you can work with the raw string data. - Strip out the root opening and closing tags. - Iterate through the string until you reach the end: --- (The current character should be a .) --- Set a countOpenTags variable to 1 --- Iterate: - move forward one character - For every character, if it is a , increment countOpenTags, and if it is a , decrement countOpenTags - When countOpenTags is 0: --- Grab everything from to the current position in the string. This grabbed string represents the raw data for an entry tag. --- Create a timeout call to parse the grabbed string. Timeouts should be spaced apart by a certain number of milliseconds. (Experimentation will be required.) The last timeout should have a callback that signals that all the XML has been parsed. --- Break the loop. --- If at the last character, break the loop. Also, if you're interesting, I have an async package for performing long calculations asynchronously. It works somewhat similarly. Basically it keeps track of checkpoints and provides ways to keep track of time, so that if too much time is spent, it can break out of the procedure and re-enter it on a timeout. Checkpoints correspond to options on a large switch statement. It's kind of a hack, but it's come in useful on several occasions. -- T.

I'm assuming the XML structure is something like this? ?xml version=1.0? root entry entry-data / !--12 more entry-data nodes-- /entry !--3499 more entry nodes-- /root - Use the XML object's onData handler so that you can work with the raw string data. - Strip out the root opening and closing tags. - Iterate through the string until you reach the end: --- (The current character should be a .) --- Set a countOpenTags variable to 1 --- Iterate: - move forward one character - For every character, if it is a , increment countOpenTags, and if it is a , decrement countOpenTags - When countOpenTags is 0: --- Grab everything from to the current position in the string. This grabbed string represents the raw data for an entry tag. --- Create a timeout call to parse the grabbed string. Timeouts should be spaced apart by a certain number of milliseconds. (Experimentation will be required.) The last timeout should have a callback that signals that all the XML has been parsed. --- Break the loop. --- If at the last character, break the loop. Also, if you're interesting, I have an async package for performing long calculations asynchronously. It works somewhat similarly. Basically it keeps track of checkpoints and provides ways to keep track of time, so that if too much time is spent, it can break out of the procedure and re-enter it on a timeout. Checkpoints correspond to options on a large switch statement. It's kind of a hack, but it's come in useful on several occasions. -- T.

It really fails very often. I have tested this for several days, on different browsers, and using the default playerProductInstall.swf, and customizing it. The result is always the same a good percentage of the times (maybe more than 50% I would say): The Express Install dialog comes up as expected, with the spining circle, then is says 'Connecting... and it stays there for as long as you wait. If it fails and you immediately try again it usually fails again. You have to try at a later time, like 20-30 minutes later and see if it works then.

For information on adding and removing the RemotingDebugClasses library to your application, see The NetConnection Debugger. 2. Import the NetDebug class in the first frame of the Flash application by placing the following import statement at the beginning of your application: import mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug; 3. Call the NetDebug.initialize() method before connecting to the service or calling any other debugging methods. Is there any way to do step 1 (or bypass it) using actionscript?

[Flashcoders] FLVPlayback -- pause works, but resume happens at a different point?
I'm running into an odd bug which I'm not sure I can do anything about. I'm using the FLVPlayback component with custom controls, but otherwise as-is, to stream video over RTMP from thePlatform (theplatform.com). It all works just fine. However, when I hit my pause button, wait a while, and hit the play button, the video is not always resuming from where it was paused. Occasionally this difference is up to 5s, but seems random. As an example, I'm listening for the stateChange event, and here are the properties of its event object when pausing and resuming: target=_level0.app.__player.__flvPlayback type=stateChange state=paused playheadTime=6.87 vp=0 target=_level0.app.__player.__flvPlayback type=stateChange state=buffering playheadTime=6.87 vp=0 target=_level0.app.__player.__flvPlayback type=stateChange state=playing playheadTime=10.007 vp=0 The difference in this test is about 3s. Has anyone else run into this?

var bright = Math.max(Math.max(r,g),b);

And for an optimized/faster version, you could try something like:
function computeBrightness(pixelvalue)
{
// returns the larger value of r, g or b -- and scale it down to a
0..100
range.
var r = pixelvalue 16 0xFF;
var g = pixelvalue 8 0xFF;
var b = pixelvalue 0xFF;
var bright = (rg)?((rb)?r:b):((gb)?g:b);

HI Guys, Thanks very much to you all for your help and explanations. I
understood that the number represented a colour value but I now have a
much better understanding of how it does so.
In your opinion what is the most efficient way to retrieve the
relative brightness of that colour.
What I need is a value between 0 and 100 where 0 is black and 100 is
white and the numbers in-between represent the shades in-between.
What I am going to try is this.
Split the number into its components RGB
use this code which came from the Flash API project
//colorModel converter RGB-HSB
//returns a hsb object
RGBtoHSB = function(rgb){
var r = rgb.r
var g = rgb.g
var b = rgb.b
var hsb = new Object();
hsb.b = Math.max(Math.max(r,g),b);
var min = Math.min(Math.min(r,g),b);
hsb.s = (hsb.b = 0) ? 0 : Math.round (100*(hsb.b - min)/hsb.b);
hsb.b = Math.round((hsb.b /255)*100);
hsb.h = 0;
if((r == g) (g == b)){
hsb.h = 0;
} else if(r = g g = b){
hsb.h = 60*(g-b)/(r-b);
} else if(g = r r = b){
hsb.h = 60 + 60*(g-r)/(g-b);
} else if(g = b b = r){
hsb.h = 120 + 60*(b-r)/(g-r);
} else if(b = g g = r){
hsb.h = 180 + 60*(b-g)/(b-r);
} else if(b = r r = g){
hsb.h = 240 + 60*(r-g)/(b-g);
} else if(r = b b = g){
hsb.h = 300 + 60*(r-b)/(r-g);
} else{
hsb.h = 0;
}
hsb.h = Math.round(hsb.h);
return hsb;
}
to turn it into an object with three values hue saturation and
brightness and then just make use of the brightness.
If there is a better way especially a more efficient way I would
really like to know.

You seem to be thinking of numbers as if they are stored like
strings.
They aren't.
RGB colors are stored as 3-byte (24-bit) numbers.
For example, red looks like this in binary:
b
...which is the same thing as this in hexadecimal:
0xFF
... which is the same thing as this in decimal:
16711680
To isolate, for example the red portion, you can use SHIFT RIGHT
()
to
shift all bits to the right by 16 bits. Binary:
b 16 = b
Hexadecimal:
0xFF 16 = 0xFF
Decimal:
16711680 16 = 255
Generally it's a good idea not to presume that there may not be more
bits to the left, so you can filter them out using a bitwise AND
().
To
explain, this better, here's how to extract the green value from
bright
cyan (0x7F):
The binary value of the color:
0111
Split into colors:
0111
Shift right 8 bits:
10111b 8 =
In hexadecimal, this result is:
0x

[Flashcoders] Image Loading causes Flash slowness and high cpu utilization
We have a Flex application which loads many copies of an image on the fly. In some situations the image loading seems to cause Flash to slow down (and use more CPU). The slowdown stays with Flash beyond the loading of the image. We can wait a hour and the load is still high. And each time this happens the player gets a little bit slower and never improves until the browser is restarted. This does not appear to be a memory utilization issue. One hypothesis is that there is some type of background element (a layer on the timeline) which is responsible for loading the image, and somehow this gets hung up and doesn't get cleaned up. Get enough of these and the load goes up. Does this ring a bell with anyone. Is this a known problem? It may be related to other events happening at the same time (e.g., moving the image before it is loaded, or loading a new image before the old one is loaded). The longer it takes to load the image (e.g., local web server versus remote), the more likely the problem. This is with Flex 1.5. This affects all versions of flash on all platforms we have tested. ___ 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

It might be similar in that here the main view is New Zealand, and you can click a button to see one particular region. It's still got a long way to go though, but I'm making progress.

[Flashcoders] Flash 9: BitmapData with RTMP stream
We just found that using draw() on a source that is using RTMP to stream in video doesn't work in FP9, but it DOES in FP8. Can anyone confirm this being a bug? or is this yet another security feature addition?

[Flashcoders] Re: Flash 9: BitmapData with RTMP stream
Never mind: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emmy/archives/2006/07/new_security_wh.cfm * Restricted access to media data originating from RTMP servers: Flash Player 9 cannot access video data or sound spectrum data for media loaded from RTMP (Flash Media Server) sources, although it can display and play video and sounds loaded from these servers. look, I've heard all the arguments blah blah blah. But what about still having the ability to make a choice about the level of security? I mean, geez, if I'm loading RTMP data from my OWN domain, just like I would be any OTHER content, shouldn't I be able to access video/audio data?? Shouldn't I at least be able to use crossdomain.xml to open it up? Just doesn't make sense. Of course, this will be the time someone comes out of the wood work at Adobe and hands out the this is why we put a smack down on RTMP data. I guess, as usualy, I'll listen and think yeah you're right, if some idiot did that, it WOULD suck. ;) On 8/1/06, John Grden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We just found that using draw() on a source that is using RTMP to stream in video doesn't work in FP9, but it DOES in FP8.
