Re: [Flashcoders] timer question
It doesn't trace plus 10 because you're calling it when you declare
all your variables, rather than 10 seconds later when seconds ==
newSeconds. You'll need an onEnterFrame or other loop running to
check, and one of the checks will have to be invoked during the
single second when it's 10 seconds after var seconds is declared.

Re: [Flashcoders] timer question
Hi,
your example is:
seconds = a;
newSeconds = a+10;
if (seconds == newSeconds)
in other words
if (seconds = seconds+10)
that will never work.
Look into setInterval and there is a undocumented setTimeout function
somewhere I think.
Better yet write your own Timer and TimerEvent class to wrap this kind of
stuff.

Re: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
hi,
i think this might help with the flash timer
stop();
pausedAt = getTimer();
this.createEmptyMovieClip(frameLoop, 1);
frameLoop.onEnterFrame = function() {
if ((getTimer()-pausedAt)/500=6) {
play();
this.removeMovieClip();
}
// end if
};
I have used this many times.

do you use the setInterval method ?

var action:Function = function ( msg )
{
trace( msg ) ;
if ( cpt ++ == 20 )
{
clearInterval(id) ;
trace(stop the timer) ;

var id = setInterval( action, 1, plus 10 seconds) ;

That should work.

Re: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
Hi,
you asked this question before, and I replied to it, why not continue that
thread instead of reposting it?
You are on the right track though, there are different approaches:
1. waiting a number of frames:
var curFrame:Number = 0;
var frameRate:Number = 12;
var waitFrames:Number = 20*frameRate; //wait 20 seconds
this.onEnterFrame= function (){
curFrame++;
if(waitFrames== curFrame){
trace(llegamos);
}
}
Or use setInterval:
var intervalID:Number = setInterval(myFunc, 20*1000);//set interval to 20
secs
function myFunc(){
clearInterval(intervalID);
trace(llegamos);
}
The other thing is that you have to understand why your code is wrong:
var now = getTimer(); //get milliseconds passed since swf start FOR
EXAMPLE 123541
var seconds:Number = now/1000; //seconds passed since swf start 123,541
var later:Number = seconds+20; //143,541
this.onEnterFrame= function (){
//seconds does not change, later does not change so each frame we compare
123,541 with 143,541
//even you would update seconds, the chance that seconds becomes 143,541 is
near 0.
if(seconds == later){
trace(llegamos);
}
}
trace(seconds);
hth,
JC

soundTimer = new Timer();
soundTimer.addEventListener(onTimerDone, this);
soundTimer.addEventListener(onTimerStart, this);
soundTimer.startTimer(0, 2000); // 2 second timer
function onTimerDone(evtObj:Object) {
trace(Timer is done after +evtObj.delta+ms - wanted time is :

function onTimerStart(evtObj:Object) {

Re: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
try using undocumented setTimeOut or setInterval instead
say you have a function foo
with setInterval:
var secondsToWait:Number= 20*1000 //20 seconds
var interval_ID:Number=setInterval(this,foo,2)
function foo()
{
clearInterval(interval_ID);
trace(llegamos con setInterval);
}
with setTimeOut
setTimeout(this,foo,1000)
function foo()
{
trace(llegamos con setTimeOut);
}

RE: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
hi gustavo,
your first problem is that you have a gotoAndPlay loop. that means that
every time you go back to frame 1 you are re-creating your now variable, so
it is never going to have a chance to get bigger. secondly, the timer does
need to be updated checked inside your onEnterFrame (i used a
setInterval), so that it can be compared with your later variable. try this:
stop();
var startTime:Number = getTimer()/1000;
var later:Number = 20;
var timeCheck:Number = setInterval(checkTime, 100);
function checkTime(){
var currentTime:Number = getTimer()/1000;
var elapsedTime:Number = currentTime - startTime;
if(elapsedTime = later){
trace(llegamos);
clearInterval(timeCheck);
}
}

RE: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
Time is never exact because frame rate is independent from time. Just check
if it's greater or equal to the time you desired.
var now = getTimer();
var waitSeconds = 3;
var later:Number = now + ( waitSeconds * 1000 );
this.onEnterFrame= function ()
{
var now = getTimer();
if( now = later)
{
trace( now );
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
else
{
var countdown = ( later - now );
trace( wait for it : + countdown );
}
}

[Flashcoders] localTrusted in DCR in Browser
Hey all, I've got a Flash file that wants to read a local XML file (from the same directory), in a browser. I've set the file to be trusted, and it works fine with the SWF object. But, this file has to be embedded in a Director file for some other functionality, and from the DCR, I can't read the XML file successfully. I was hoping that the Director Flash Xtra would allow the same access that the Flash plug-in would-- but that doesn't seem to be the case. Has anyone gotten a similar situation to work? Or, any ideas on how to allow this?

RE: [Flashcoders] timer question
In your example, seconds doesn't really mean anything. 60 seconds plus 10
seconds should never equal 70 seconds - you want it to equal 10 seconds.
Maybe try...
var seconds = 10;
var now = new Date();
var future = new Date();
future.setSeconds ( now.getSeconds() + seconds ); // will auto adjust the time
trace( 'now: ' + now )
trace( 'future: ' + future )
trace( 'time is up: ' + (now.getTime() future.getTime()) )
I found it better to use Date.getTime() and work with the milliseconds, like;
//
// TIME VERSION
//
var timeoutInterval:Number;
var seconds:Number = 3;
var now:Number = getTimer();
function startTimer ( time:Number ) {
timeoutInterval = _global.setTimeout ( this, 'onTimesUp', time * 1000 );
}
function clearTimer ( ) {
_global.clearTimeout ( timeoutInterval );
}
function onTimesUp ( ){
trace( ' \n onTimesUp \n' )
var then = now/1000;
var now = getTimer()/1000;
trace( 'TIME VERSION :: then: ' + then + ' now: ' + now + ' = ' +
(now-then) );
var nowD:Date = new Date( );
var timechange = futureD.getTime( ) - nowD.getTime( );
trace( 'DATE VERSION :: timeup: ' + (timechange0) + ', ' +
(timechange/1000) + ' seconds ago' );
}
startTimer ( seconds );
//
// DATE VERSION
//
var nowD:Date = new Date( );
var futureD:Date = new Date ( (seconds*1000) + nowD.getTime( ) );
var timechange = futureD.getTime( ) - nowD.getTime( );
trace( 'nowD: ' + nowD );
trace( 'futureD: ' + futureD );
trace( 'timechange: ' + (timechange/1000) + ' seconds' );
trace( 'time up: ' + (timechange0) )

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: attachMovie vs createClassObject
createClassObject is defined in UIObject core object. I don't think it can be called as a method of any movieclip. It also requires that you define static var symbolName : String = linkageID; static var symbolOwner : Object = com.myclass; and at the end of the day It calls createObject which basically uses attachMovie passing on the symbolName. Use it if your host mc is a UIObject (inheriting from mx.core.UIComponent or mx.core.UIObject). I use var myInstance:ClassType=ClassType(mc.attachMovie(ClassType.symbolName ,instanceName,depth)) Sometimes, if there is any pending code in the draw method of the created class instance, I wait for a frame using doLater. I hope this helps Yehia Shouman On 3/23/07, Andy Herrman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just to amend my previous comment, in the case where I said `createClassObject()` failed but `attachMovie()` didn't, that ended up to be not quite true. `createClassObject()` didn't do anything, but `attachMovie()` created the visual portions of the clip, but it looks like none of the component's code was actually loaded, so while it appeared to be working it really wasn't. But in the cases where one works the other seems to work as well, so I'm still wondering what the difference is. -Andy On 3/20/07, Andy Herrman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm wondering if there are any significant differences between using `attachMovie()` and `createClassObject()` for creating components (I'm targeting for Flash 7). I just ran into a weird issue creating a ComboBox where I was using `createClassObject()` to instantiate it, but saw that elsewhere in the code it was using `attachMovie()` to create one, and both were working. Specifically, both this: mc.attachMovie(ComboBox, myComboBox, mc.getNextHighestDepth()); and this: mc.createClassObject(ComboBox, myComboBox, mc.getNextHighestDepth()); seems to give the same results in most cases. Is there any benefit to using `createClassObject()` over `attachMovie()` for components? The one situation I ran into where it gives different results is when using multiple SWFs from different places. I have a main movie which loads another movie that contains all the UI resources (makes branding easier). The UI resources movie contains the ComboBox in its library. If both the movies are on the local filesystem then it works fine, but if the resources SWF is on a remote web server the `createClassObject()` call fails. However, if I change it to use `attachMovie()` it works fine. So I'm leaning towards using `attachMovie()`, just to make my life easier for testing (don't have to upload the main movie every time I want to test it), but I'm wondering if that will cause issues later. -Andy ___ 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@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] coverting video to flv on the server

Somebody told me the other day there are tools that can convert the most
common video formats to flvs. Unfortunately I can't remeber the names of
these products.
My company wants to create a youTube like web application where the user
can upload a video which then gets converted to an flv.
Any recommendations and/or thoughts?

Re: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
Btw when setting a start time other than 0 to the timer, it's the
difference between both that will be calculated.
Example :
you app starts at 0ms, but for some reason you need some data loaded
that your timer needs before it starts. You need to take into account
the time elapsed.
var wantedEnd:Number = 2000;
var curTime:Number = getTimer();
soundTimer.startTimer(curTime, wantedEnd);
the Timer won't go for 2 seconds, but an event will be triggerred after
2 seconds of the Application launch.

Here is the class itself, it's pretty precise and reliable so far.
Hope it Helps !

Hi, I'm trying to set a timer to trigger a event after 20 seconds or
less, but so far i have this code, but with no results
someone help me? .
I don't know how could I got into but some help might be needed
this is the code: is inside the first frame of a movie clip and the 4
frame has: gotoAndPlay(1);
var now = getTimer();
var seconds:Number = now/1000;
var later:Number = seconds+20;
this.onEnterFrame= function (){
if(seconds == later){
trace(llegamos);
}
}
trace(seconds);

Re: [Flashcoders] Resize tool like Illustrator or photoshop white arrow
You mean like a Free Distort tool ? I've seen some tests done with, can't remember the link ... might be a 3D experiment of some sort. I'll try to see if I bookmarked it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Image Caching Problem
Hi, By default cache I think you refer to the local storage setting in the Flash Player configuration... AFAIK, that's the amount of info you can store with SharedObjects, and has nothing to do with the cache used for storing loaded assets... the later depends exclusively on the browser's cache settings. A preloader is ALWAYS necessary when doing a loadMovie, 'cause even when they are in cache, there's a slight delay of a few frames till they actually appear on stage... so any operation dependant on the image would fail. So, your options are the ones you describe... preload everything when doing a loadMovie (My advice is to use a proxy function, or a loader class, so you never use loadMovie directly, making sure everything is loaded before beeing used), or else switch to Flash 8 and use BitmapData. BitmapData allows you to load images and store them in variables (the same way you would do with text from a loadVars operation), and use them as many times as you want (attachBitmap). The bitmapdata information stays in the computer's memory (ram when available, then virtual memory), so there is absolutely no problem if you only use 380Kb of images. Cheers... David Beermann escribió: Why don't you use BitmapData for storing the loaded images once and placing them in different movie clips as many times as you want? Attila Thanks, Attila. I forgot to mention that the project I'm currently working on is Flash7/AS2. So using the BitmapData Class is no option here. Am 10.03.2035 um 21:51 schrieb Alain Rousseau: There is a limit in each browser for the amount of cache available, if your files go over that amount, not all the files will stay in the cache ! You should try Attila's solution to this You right about the cache, Alain. The default cache setting allows each website to store 100 KB. My images add up to about 380 KB (76 files range from between 2 to 7 KB each). So caching could really be the problem. So my options are, to create a preloader for all areas where I need my thumbnails or the convince my client to switch to Flash 8. Would the switch really help or would I end up in another caching problem? I couldn't find any information in the AS2.0 Language Reference where the BitmapData Class stores its data. Or even better, is there any other solution to this problem? Thanks for your help.
