Re: [Flashcoders] another setInterval question
Hi,
note that the proposed solutions restart the interval, they do not pause it.
Otherwise calculate how much time there is still left of the interval.

i think so , like this :
var intervalID;
function initInterva()
{
intervalID = setInterval( this , nextScene , 5000 );
}
function stopInterval()
{
clearInterval( intervalID );
}
// onRollOver will stop the interval
my_mc.onRollOver = function (){
stopInterval();
}
// onRollOut restart the interval
my_mc.onRollOut = function(){
initInterval();
}
// start your interval
initInterval();
I wish it helps

function startTimer(func:Function, ms:Number):Void {
this.func = func;

func();
}
}
buttonInstance.onRollOver = function():Void {

buttonInstance.onRollOut = function():Void {

Re: [Flashcoders] OT - Installing PHP, MySQL?
Hello Dave,
my advice (and I have to deal with RH Linux 80% of
my work time) to you and other designer guys here is:
don't fall for Linux hype, go with OpenBSD.
You install the core system, which already has Apache 1
with many security improvements (compared to the original
Apache code) and which runs in chroot (i.e. if one of your
scripts gets hacked, the abuser will stay locked in /var/www
directory and as a non-root user).
Then you just install PHP (hardened) and MySQL or
PostgreSQL packages using the pkg_add command
and you're ready to go.
And if you add this line into your pf.conf (firewall config):
block out quick on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } all user www
then any PHP worms won't have a chance to propagate...
Etc. etc... Search for OpenBSD hosting and you'll love it.
Regards
Alex

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 Announced
That's not really the Flash 9 beta - that's the Flash 9 Actionscript 3.0 Preview - something very different. The only similarity is the AS3 compiler. There was no public beta of the Flash 9 IDE.

Hi Rob, AFAICS, that's not the case. The preview that was on Labs just gave you AS3 support and a couple of other bits. The new CS3 version has a reworked interface, some extra drawing tools, extra Photoshop/Illustrator support etc. I believe the Labs version was just a quick hack in of AS3 to let people do some testing, not a proper Beta.

[Flashcoders] actionscript/flash performance
Hey all,
I finally have a question to ask!
I'm working on a project that, in simplest terms, is an event visualizer.
It takes event data coming in from an XMLSocket (or a standard PHP script
pulling from a database for replays), creates an empty movie clip,
stores it in a simple object/array combination to aide in timestamping,
then it uses removeMovieClip() to discard the clip when it's a minute or
so old.
Warning, I'm a complete noob when it comes to ActionScript, I have a
little bit of Javascript experience, and a good amount of PERL and Python,
so I can handle criticisms, and hopefully they can be explained in a
language I understand. :)
I have three keyframes, 1, 2 and 20, with 20 being the loop back to give
me a nearly one second tick mark, when things are not overloaded.
At 1, I instantiate an Array (_root.lines), import WDDX, and create a
custom function on the MovieClip prototype for some initial markers, along
with a few longitude/latitude-to-map-coordinates functions, and a function
for drawing curved vectors. I initialize some starting points for some
global counters on _root here, as well. Lastly, there's a map of the
globe for the scene background, and the custom function marks three
locations on the map.
At 2, I populate the initial location marks at level 1, calculate the
current date/time by instantiating Date(), and store the results on _root
for later retrieval (we'll call it _root.ratio_start). I then pull in the
data stream, currently I limit it to 2500 lines (events, really, it can be
a little more than 500 characters in XML per event). I calculate the
start point (one of the three marks) based on the data provided, then use
the latitude and longitude calculate an end point. Here's the part I'm
not sure is the most efficient:
// Increment the counter to give us a pseudo-unique number.
_root.counter++;
// make a timestamp
date_now = new Date();
// make an empty movie clip with a unique, but dynamic, name
pen = createEmptyMovieClip(vector_ + root.counter + _mc,
root.counter+2);
// Set the line style
pen.lineStyle(2,0x00CC00);
// Store it in a simple object for later retrieval and timestamp
comparison
container = {pen: pen, timestamp: date_now);
// Pus it into the lines array.
_root.lines.push(container);
// Draw the vector
curvePoint(pen, x, y, x, y);
From there, it just moves along with no more code until I get to frame 20:
// make a timestamp
date_now = new Date();
// Get the benchmark up until this point
_root.ratio_end = date_now;
// Calculate the ratio between the time it actually took, and one second,
for throttling purposes
_root.ratio = 1000 / (_root.ratio_end.getTime() -
_root.ratio_start.getTime());
// _root.millisecondsToMinute = 1000 * 60, get the fraction (multiple) of
1 minute.
_root.timeLimit = _root.millisecondsToMinute * _root.ratio;
temp_count = 0;
for (i = 0; i _root.lines.length; i++) {
// Calculate the difference between the current time, and the time
this line was turned into a clip.
timeDiff = date_now.getTime() -
_root.lines[i].timestamp.getTime();
if (timeDiff _root.timeLimit) {
// Keep track of how many we remove for debugging
purposes.
temp_count++;
// Remove the movie clip the only way I know how.
_root.lines[i].pen.removeMovieClip();
// remove this entry from the array.
_root.lines.splice(i,1);
}
}
// Occasionally reset the unique counter
if (_root.counter = 32000) {
_root.counter = 0;
}
// Loop back to frame 2, pull more data, etc.
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
Now, on to my actual question/comment. I've noticed that if the rate of
incoming data goes above about 2200, it fails to keep up with the
throttling, and will start to bog down. It will remove more than it's
bringing in, and eventually stablize to about a 3400 total clips in the
array at the end of each loop. However, this takes updates down to once
every 11 seconds or so, defeating the point of a once-per-second refresh
rate. If I can't get this to work more efficiently in flash, I'll likely
have to switch to another platform and language. :/
Is there something I could do that would be more efficient? I need to be
able to remove the vectors when they're about a minute old, but I couldn't
seem to find any other way than to store the clip and date object on
another, simple object, and store that in an array. A stack of sorts. I'd
rather have a way of just using a single clip for all of the vectors, but
again, I couldn't seem to find a way to remove a line I just drew. My
curvePoint() function actually uses curveTo() if that helps.
The throttling works well, but only, again, up until about a 2200
new-clips-per-second rate.
Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Sending binary data to server - NO HEADERS
carlos, what language is the other script (not php) written...i had a similar problem using java...the issue is that there are two headers being sent...one without content to make sure the addres is valid and a second one after with the data..so you need to set up a condition that doesn't do anything when there is no content and handle the one with the content data in it hope this helps On 3/5/07, Carlos Saenz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to send binary data to a server side script which takes a variable called file, and saves it as a binary file. so if I have a variable in my flash movie myfile, with a value of asdf, and I send that to the server, it will make a file on the filesystem called myfile, and the contents of it will be asdf Now, the trick is to send the script an image or video file. I have tried the following ways: 1) Using FileReference class (Flash 8) --- This works with php and move_uploaded_file. --- This does NOT work the server side script mentioned above. It adds headers to the file. Same headers found here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/ wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=2225.html Namely: Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x --AaB03x Content-Disposition: form-data; name=Filedata; filename=example.jpg Content-Type: application/octet-stream ... contents of example.jpg ... --AaB03x-- PHP can handle this, the other script cannot. Unfortunately we are stuck with the other script. So I looked at different ways to send binary data to the server, without using FileReference. 2) Flex Builder 2. Here we have some new classes. Such as URLRequest and URLLoader, where you can use URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY. This transferred the file to the server side script we are stuck with perfectly. No errors or problems. Unfortunately they want a Flash Player 8 solution. 3) Some examples on the web where people have taken a BitmapData object in Flash 8 and programmatically convert a bitmap into an array of string data which represents pixel data, which is converted on the server to an image. -- Is this method possible with LoadVars to send a binary stream of data to a script via POST, which will make it think it's the same as a file upload??? Well these are my three options 1) FileReference -- Flash 8 -- Is there a way to eliminate the headers its sending by default? 2) Flex Builder 2 - URLLoader class -- Any way to use this in Flash Player 8? (Doesn't seem possible) 3) Manually encode binary data into a variable and pass it through loadVars making the server think it's a file upload. Possible???

Re: [Flashcoders] actionscript/flash performance
Hi Michael,
one thing that stands out right away is the use of prototype...if i'm not
mistaken, this will make these variables available to all movie clips...even
ones that don't use the markers you're speaking of...the other thing is that
loading of xml data is asynchronous, so you just burning cycles by looping
this way...i would use set interval to manage the removal of the clips
...it's far more efficient...
just my .02
On 3/27/07, Michael King [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hey all,
I finally have a question to ask!
I'm working on a project that, in simplest terms, is an event visualizer.
It takes event data coming in from an XMLSocket (or a standard PHP script
pulling from a database for replays), creates an empty movie clip,
stores it in a simple object/array combination to aide in timestamping,
then it uses removeMovieClip() to discard the clip when it's a minute or
so old.
Warning, I'm a complete noob when it comes to ActionScript, I have a
little bit of Javascript experience, and a good amount of PERL and Python,
so I can handle criticisms, and hopefully they can be explained in a
language I understand. :)
I have three keyframes, 1, 2 and 20, with 20 being the loop back to give
me a nearly one second tick mark, when things are not overloaded.
At 1, I instantiate an Array (_root.lines), import WDDX, and create a
custom function on the MovieClip prototype for some initial markers, along
with a few longitude/latitude-to-map-coordinates functions, and a function
for drawing curved vectors. I initialize some starting points for some
global counters on _root here, as well. Lastly, there's a map of the
globe for the scene background, and the custom function marks three
locations on the map.
At 2, I populate the initial location marks at level 1, calculate the
current date/time by instantiating Date(), and store the results on _root
for later retrieval (we'll call it _root.ratio_start). I then pull in the
data stream, currently I limit it to 2500 lines (events, really, it can be
a little more than 500 characters in XML per event). I calculate the
start point (one of the three marks) based on the data provided, then use
the latitude and longitude calculate an end point. Here's the part I'm
not sure is the most efficient:
// Increment the counter to give us a pseudo-unique number.
_root.counter++;
// make a timestamp
date_now = new Date();
// make an empty movie clip with a unique, but dynamic, name
pen = createEmptyMovieClip(vector_ + root.counter + _mc,
root.counter+2);
// Set the line style
pen.lineStyle(2,0x00CC00);
// Store it in a simple object for later retrieval and timestamp
comparison
container = {pen: pen, timestamp: date_now);
// Pus it into the lines array.
_root.lines.push(container);
// Draw the vector
curvePoint(pen, x, y, x, y);
From there, it just moves along with no more code until I get to frame
20:
// make a timestamp
date_now = new Date();
// Get the benchmark up until this point
_root.ratio_end = date_now;
// Calculate the ratio between the time it actually took, and one second,
for throttling purposes
_root.ratio = 1000 / (_root.ratio_end.getTime() -
_root.ratio_start.getTime());
// _root.millisecondsToMinute = 1000 * 60, get the fraction (multiple) of
1 minute.
_root.timeLimit = _root.millisecondsToMinute * _root.ratio;
temp_count = 0;
for (i = 0; i _root.lines.length; i++) {
// Calculate the difference between the current time, and the time
this line was turned into a clip.
timeDiff = date_now.getTime() -
_root.lines[i].timestamp.getTime();
if (timeDiff _root.timeLimit) {
// Keep track of how many we remove for debugging
purposes.
temp_count++;
// Remove the movie clip the only way I know how.
_root.lines[i].pen.removeMovieClip();
// remove this entry from the array.
_root.lines.splice(i,1);
}
}
// Occasionally reset the unique counter
if (_root.counter = 32000) {
_root.counter = 0;
}
// Loop back to frame 2, pull more data, etc.
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
Now, on to my actual question/comment. I've noticed that if the rate of
incoming data goes above about 2200, it fails to keep up with the
throttling, and will start to bog down. It will remove more than it's
bringing in, and eventually stablize to about a 3400 total clips in the
array at the end of each loop. However, this takes updates down to once
every 11 seconds or so, defeating the point of a once-per-second refresh
rate. If I can't get this to work more efficiently in flash, I'll likely
have to switch to another platform and language. :/
Is there something I could do that would be more efficient? I need to be
able to remove the vectors when they're about a minute old, but I couldn't
seem to find any other way than to store the clip and date object on
another, simple object, and store that in an array. A stack of sorts. I'd
rather have a way of just using a single

Hi list... I'm tweening a mc that contains a dynamic text box (font embedded) by using the Tween class to resize and reposition it. Unfortunately, each step in the tween reflows the text slightly, as if it's being kerned randomly each step of the way. I've tried using cacheAsBitmap=true on the mc and on the text box within it, but that hasn't helped. Does anyone have any tips on how to prevent this slight text reflow from happening?

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 Announced
Freehand was terrible IMO. I know quite a few people who feel exactly opposite of you. They absolutely hate Illustrator and mourn the loss of what they believe to be a clearly better product. My experience is that most people who don't like Freehand never actually gave it a proper chance or were content because they already knew Illustrator and couldn't motivate to learn something new that does the same thing. Freehand was ahead of Illustrator in features and ease of use for quite some time and Freehand forced Illustrator to compete in what was once a monopoly (Corel Draw? Yeah, right!). I don't use either program so I have no opinion. :) Fireworks is different than Photoshop in some key ways. It's not going away anytime soon. At Adobe MAX in Las Vegas last year, Adobe was pretty clear that Fireworks was not only not going away, it was being given new features and tighter integration with other Adobe products. ___ 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

Hello flash coders,
I need some help with color transformations. I want to change dynamicly
the hue of a MC with a transition/tween, something like fading from one
image to another with different colors. I tried both G. Skinner's and M.
Klingman's colorMatrix class, but the tweening they use is bound to some
object. In G.S's demo there's a scroll bar, and in M.K's he uses two
images. I want to use one of their classes but be able to transform the
color of one MC just with a function: onSomeEvent ... { tweenHue for
myMC from thisHUE to newHUE }.
Thanks in advance

You probably have Anti-alias for readability turned on on the textfield. Which is great but make glyph hinting and kerning work in a less than optimal way when moving. If that's the case, set it to Anti-alias for animation which is less sharp (?) but a much smoother way of calculating glyph position. If that doesn't work, you have to tween the position of the textfield by rounded values only, either by doing that when updating its properties, or by capturing a copy of it as bitmapdata prior to moving (adding a dummy filter to it might work just fine for this).

Hi Gustave,
Here is the answer to your query.
The best way for any timing related task is to use Interval.
Here is the syntax:
var variable name:Number = setInterval(function name to call,
time
interval in millisecond);
function function name to call(){
//do your task here..
}
The following is the example for your inderstanding testing.
this.createTextField(date_txt, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10,
10, 100,
22); date_txt.autoSize = true; date_txt.selectable = true;
var date_interval:Number = setInterval(updateTime, 500, date_txt);
function updateTime(my_txt:TextField) {
my_txt.text = new Date().toString(); trace(my_txt.text); }
I hope, this is well enough to solve your problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] actionscript/flash performance
Hello, Thanks for the response. So by using prototype, I could set the date on it, and at the very least get rid of the simple object I'm creating for the array, and just go directly to the array? Something like: MovieClip.prototype.age = new Date(); Or is there something else I need to do to make sure it has an increasing date with each loop? As to the XML data being asynchronous, so you mean I don't actually have to use gotoAndPlay()? I can just start off with a stop(); and set up the event code? I did it the way it is now because I need to use the code with two possible ways - an XML packet from a socket, or an XML request from a PHP script hitting a MySQL backend (this would facilitate replaying events, whereas the socket would be the live-events-as-they-happen version). Again, thanks for the response, I'm hoping I can keep this in Flash, as it presents a wonderful way to have multiple clients viewing the same data, with a much smaller effect on the server than other methods -- I also don't know C/C++ very well. :) Thanks, Michael King CSIRT - Developer Security Incident Response Group Humana Inc.

RE: [Flashcoders] actionscript/flash performance
2200 clips is a lot - I'm not surprised you're running into problems. There
is quite a large overhead with each movieclip you instantiate (anyone know
how many kb an individual mc weighs?).
I think your idea of using a single clip is a much better idea. You'd have
to clear() and redraw from scratch each time there's an update but with a
clever bit of animation you could probably make that manageable (if you only
plotted 100 points per frame at 31fps, you should be able to achieve roughly
3100 points/second ). I'd create a flyweight class to abstract the shapes
you have been drawing into the pen movieclips - essentially it would just
hold the point data (call it PenData?). I'd then create and update loop
which runs through the PenData instances and draws them at a rate of 100 per
frame into your single movieclip. Next time there's an update, clear the
movieclip and start again...
You are pushing the limits but I think it's worth trying.

Subject: [Flashcoders] actionscript/flash performance
Hey all,
I finally have a question to ask!
I'm working on a project that, in simplest terms, is an event visualizer.
It takes event data coming in from an XMLSocket (or a standard PHP script
pulling from a database for replays), creates an empty movie clip, stores
it in a simple object/array combination to aide in timestamping, then it
uses removeMovieClip() to discard the clip when it's a minute or so old.
Warning, I'm a complete noob when it comes to ActionScript, I have a little
bit of Javascript experience, and a good amount of PERL and Python, so I can
handle criticisms, and hopefully they can be explained in a language I
understand. :)
I have three keyframes, 1, 2 and 20, with 20 being the loop back to give me
a nearly one second tick mark, when things are not overloaded.
At 1, I instantiate an Array (_root.lines), import WDDX, and create a custom
function on the MovieClip prototype for some initial markers, along with a
few longitude/latitude-to-map-coordinates functions, and a function for
drawing curved vectors. I initialize some starting points for some global
counters on _root here, as well. Lastly, there's a map of the globe for the
scene background, and the custom function marks three locations on the map.
At 2, I populate the initial location marks at level 1, calculate the
current date/time by instantiating Date(), and store the results on _root
for later retrieval (we'll call it _root.ratio_start). I then pull in the
data stream, currently I limit it to 2500 lines (events, really, it can be a
little more than 500 characters in XML per event). I calculate the start
point (one of the three marks) based on the data provided, then use the
latitude and longitude calculate an end point. Here's the part I'm not sure
is the most efficient:
// Increment the counter to give us a pseudo-unique number.
_root.counter++;
// make a timestamp
date_now = new Date();
// make an empty movie clip with a unique, but dynamic, name pen =
createEmptyMovieClip(vector_ + root.counter + _mc, root.counter+2); //
Set the line style pen.lineStyle(2,0x00CC00); // Store it in a simple object
for later retrieval and timestamp comparison container = {pen: pen,
timestamp: date_now); // Pus it into the lines array.
_root.lines.push(container);
// Draw the vector
curvePoint(pen, x, y, x, y);
From there, it just moves along with no more code until I get to frame 20:
// make a timestamp
date_now = new Date();
// Get the benchmark up until this point _root.ratio_end = date_now; //
Calculate the ratio between the time it actually took, and one second, for
throttling purposes _root.ratio = 1000 / (_root.ratio_end.getTime() -
_root.ratio_start.getTime()); // _root.millisecondsToMinute = 1000 * 60, get
the fraction (multiple) of
1 minute.
_root.timeLimit = _root.millisecondsToMinute * _root.ratio; temp_count = 0;
for (i = 0; i _root.lines.length; i++) {
// Calculate the difference between the current time, and the time
this line was turned into a clip.
timeDiff = date_now.getTime() - _root.lines[i].timestamp.getTime();
if (timeDiff _root.timeLimit) {
// Keep track of how many we remove for debugging purposes.
temp_count++;
// Remove the movie clip the only way I know how.
_root.lines[i].pen.removeMovieClip();
// remove this entry from the array.
_root.lines.splice(i,1);
}
}
// Occasionally reset the unique counter
if (_root.counter = 32000) {
_root.counter = 0;
}
// Loop back to frame 2, pull more data, etc.
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
Now, on to my actual question/comment. I've noticed that if the rate of
incoming data goes above about 2200, it fails to keep up with the
throttling, and will start to bog down. It will remove
[Flashcoders] class import weirdness
hi folks,
i'm experiencing this really strange bug that i think has to do with
how one of my custom classes is importing the flash.* packages. so
here's deal...
i have a method in the following class:
import com.barbarian.color.*;
import com.barbarian.logger.*;
import com.barbarian.notice.*;
import com.barbarian.timing.*;
import com.barbarian.util.*;
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import com.webby.gallery.*;
import flash.geom.*;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.filters.*;
class com.webby.gallery.Thumbnail extends MovieClip {
public function blah():Void {
var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
var t:Transform = new Transform(this);
var p:Point = new Point(this._x, this._y);
var cmf:ColorMatrixFilter = new ColorMatrixFilter();
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData();
var tween:Tween = new Tween();
var obj:Object = new Object();
var thumb:Thumbnail = this;
trace(ct:ColorTransform = + ct);
trace(t:Transform = + t);
trace(p:Point = + p);
trace(cmf:ColorMatrixFilter = + cmf);
trace(bd:BitmapData = + bd);
trace(tween:Tween = + tween);
trace(obj:Object = + obj);
trace(thumb:Thumbnail = + thumb);
}
}
here's what it traces:
ct:ColorTransform = undefined
t:Transform = undefined
p:Point = undefined
cmf:ColorMatrixFilter = undefined
bd:BitmapData = undefined
tween:Tween = [Tween]
obj:Object = [object Object]
thumb:Thumbnail = _level0.thumbnails_mc.thumbnail3_mc
and here's my question:
why the hell does it seem like all the classes in the flash.*
packages aren't importing properly? i get no compile-time errors,
but it seems at run-time, the classes don't seem to exist?! the mx.*
package seems to import fine, as i get an instance of the Tween
class. i checked for namespace conflicts within the barbarian
classes and my custom classes, and it seems ok on that front. i
should also mention that my other custom classes (in the same package/
directory) seem to be importing the flash.* classes fine.
your thoughts are much appreciated!
thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash and levels
I think in general, levels aren't used much any more. It's become more common to use holder movieclips to control groups of content. If you have to, you can even put holder MCs on different levels of your timeline and load content into whichever MC you want. You can then also do things like making each holder MC _visible=false as a way of hiding groups of content if needed. Using holder MCs also at times makes it easier to control preloading by using MC.getBytesLoaded, etc. To answer your question directly, I'm not sure you can create new empty MCs on a level that contains nothing.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash and levels
If you need to create a movieClip on level 20 for example : var myClip:MovieClip = createEmtpyMovieClip(myClipInstance, 20) Note that the secont parameter (20), is the level number you wish the movieClip is created, in this case therefore will not get into _level0.. if you Need to get a movieClip nasted into another so: var myClip:MovieClip = containerClip.createEmptyMovieClip(otherMcInstance, containerClip.getNextHighestDepth); The second Parameter specifies the next Free Level inside the containerClip where the myClip will be nasted...

Re: [Flashcoders] actionscript/flash performance
if you use date in this context MovieClip.prototype.age = new Date(); and you want incremental values, you should pass in some parameters like hour, minutes, seconds and milliseconds...check documentation on this... As to the XML data being asynchronous, so you mean I don't actually have to use gotoAndPlay()? I can just start off with a stop(); and set up the event code? that's correct...you certainly want to set up event handlers... On 3/27/07, Michael King [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Thanks for the response. So by using prototype, I could set the date on it, and at the very least get rid of the simple object I'm creating for the array, and just go directly to the array? Something like: MovieClip.prototype.age = new Date(); Or is there something else I need to do to make sure it has an increasing date with each loop? As to the XML data being asynchronous, so you mean I don't actually have to use gotoAndPlay()? I can just start off with a stop(); and set up the event code? I did it the way it is now because I need to use the code with two possible ways - an XML packet from a socket, or an XML request from a PHP script hitting a MySQL backend (this would facilitate replaying events, whereas the socket would be the live-events-as-they-happen version). Again, thanks for the response, I'm hoping I can keep this in Flash, as it presents a wonderful way to have multiple clients viewing the same data, with a much smaller effect on the server than other methods -- I also don't know C/C++ very well. :) Thanks, Michael King CSIRT - Developer Security Incident Response Group Humana Inc.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash and levels
Levels suck, try to avoid them.
Anyway, I did this, and it worked:
stop();
loadMovieNum(blank.swf, 5);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_level5 != undefined) {
if (_level5.getBytesTotal() ==
_level5.getBytesTotal()) {
var tmp = _level5.createEmptyMovieClip(foo, 10);
trace(tmp);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}
My guess is that you're trying to create a clip on
level 5 before it's fully loaded, and so it's failing.

I tried doing this:
var tmc = _level5.createEmptyMovieClip(foo, 10);
trace(tmc); //gives me undefined
I also tried to load a blank .swf into _level5 and
then creating a
movieclip on _level5 and that didn't work either.
