[Flashcoders] Skinning buttons
Hi list... Probably a silly question, but I can't get my button skins to work. In the library I created 3 symbols with corresponding linkage names (falseDownSkin, falseUpSkin, falseOverSkin), but they're not showing up on the stage. What am I missing?

[Flashcoders] Skinning buttons Part II
I just discovered that you have to add mx.skins.SkinElement to the AS2 class field in the linkage dialog box and an onClipEvent(initialize) function to the button instance to assign it skins. But, does this code have to be there for every button instance? There's got to be a more streamlined way, right? - MM ___ 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] Measuring width of some text
Strangely, the TextField.textWidth property returns different values on
different systems.
On WIN IE v6.0.2900 Service Pack 2 with Flash Player Version 8,0,24
textWidth is consistently larger than on WIN IE v6.0.2800 Service Pack 1
with Flash Player 8,0,22.
Are the different values of textWidth the result of different IE/Service
Pack versions, or the result of different Flash Player minor versions?

Subject: [Flashcoders] Measuring width of some text
I need to measure the width of some text. Here's the function I'm using:
private function getTextWidth(txt,fontSize) {
var fmt=new TextFormat();
fmt.font='Univers 67 CondensedBold';
fmt.size=fontSize;
fmt.autoSize='left';
var metrics=fmt.getTextExtent(txt);
return metrics.textFieldWidth;
}
This function is not predictable - for the same text, it returns
different
numbers on different OSes or flash player versions:
- works fine in IE/FF for flash player 6
- doesn't work in Mac Safari for flash player 6
- works fine in IE/FF for flash player 8 using Service Pack 1
- doesn't work for IE/FF for flash player 8 using Service Pack
2
Is there another function I can use, or another way to go about
measuring
the width of some text?

[Flashcoders] 2nd rtmp video doesn't play

*2nd Video Doesn't Play!*
--
Hi. I'm trying to play two videos in the flvplayback component. The first
one is playing; the second isn't. Both paths are rtmp paths. I've read on
various message boards that you should remove the .flv extension from the
second path, but that doesn't help.
In my move, the component is called flvPlayer. There's a button called btn.
What's wrong with this code?
//these first two lines work fine.
flvPlayer.load(rtmp://path/to/media1.flv);
flvPlayer.play();
btn.onRelease = function():Void
{
//this doesn't work
flvPlayer.load(rtmp://path/to/media2.flv); //I've also tried without the
.flv
flvPlayer.play();
}
When I click the button, the first flv does stop playing, the skin on the
flvplayback component shows those little barber-pole stripes as if it's
loading a second flv, and then the loading animation stops. And that's it.
No video plays.
Just to be clear, everything works fine if both videos come from http urls,
but if they come from rtmp urls, only the first video plays.

[Flashcoders] NetDebug undefined...
I am trying to debug a RemotingConnection component with the as2 remoting classes. I have installed the remoting components for flash 8. Here is what happens when I try to debug: - import mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug; trace(NetDubug: + NetDebug); // undefined trace(NetDubug.initialize: + NetDebug.initialize); // undefined - i does not complain that the class was not imported, which means that it did import ok.

Re: [Flashcoders] Chinese characters in mailto: link
You first need to activate Chinese language pack on your computer to be able to see the characters properly throughout your system, maybe it's that ? or maybe your e-mail program doesn't take the characters as UTF-8 , then you might need to specify other kinds of encoding for your mailto ... don't know how to do it, maybe in the headers of the e-mail itself ? Hope this gets you in the right direction. A. Joshua Sera wrote: I'm trying to use chinese characters in the body of a mailto: link, but all I'm getting is garbage. I'm getting them from an XML file.

Re: [Flashcoders] 2nd rtmp video doesn't play
Hi,
1. Switch between indexes if you have alot of sequential movies to play
2. use doLater if you're building on top of mx.core.uicomponent or a
setInterval() with 100 milliseconds and a clear Interval to kill it again
3. Make sure you get the latest FLVPlayback component update
4. I am streaming through FMS and I get the same problem, make sure the flvs
are not corrupted ..etc
5. check the following example, and make sure after you create allow a frame
to pass so that the draw methods of the flvplayback component are done
drawing.
6. MAKE sure you're not assigning an undefined value or a bad link, it
breaks up the thing !! you'll have to use a catch/try if you're not sure or
if statement before you assign.
Here's some code, see if that helps
function createFLVPlayback()
{
this.my_FLVPlybk = FLVPlayback (this.attachMovie (FLVPlayback,
my_FLVPlybk, 500));
this.my_FLVPlybk.autoPlay=true;
this.my_FLVPlybk.activeVideoPlayerIndex = 1
this.my_FLVPlybk.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = 1
this.my_FLVPlybk.progressInterval = 001;
}
function switchToAnotherPlayer()
{
i=i==1? 2 : 1;
k=i==1? 2 : 1;
my_FLVPlybk.closeVideoPlayer(i);
my_FLVPlybk.ncMgr.close();
my_FLVPlybk.getVideoPlayer(my_FLVPlybk.visibleVideoPlayerIndex).ncMgr.close();
my_FLVPlybk.activeVideoPlayerIndex = k;
my_FLVPlybk.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = k;
}
