Re: [Flashcoders] Couple questions re Zinc and Access
Dave, Try the flat file DB called SQLite. There is an open source dll (mac version also) which connects Zinc to SQLIte DB. This is very simple and you dont need to worry about ODBC and stuffs... The SQLite is capable of handling almost all the SQL queries also. -Vipin On 7/26/07, Dave Burnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all; I'm looking to connect a projector to an Access db, both on CD.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:optimizing a Calendar app
Hello :) In my opensource framework when i want create a calendar with appointment i use a Calendar class : http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/asgard/date/Calendar.as More information about VEGAS : http://code.google.com/p/vegas/ Install VEGAS : http://code.google.com/p/vegas/wiki/InstallVEGASwithSVN Example to use the Calendar class in the SVN repository : http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/date/ To creates a model of appointment i use my MVC and ADT (Abstract Data Type) implementation with HashMap class. Basic example with an hash map : import vegas.data.map.HashMap ; var map:HashMap = new HashMap() ; var day:Calendar = new Calendar(2007,6,29) ; var appointement:AppointmentVO = new AppointmentVO( day ) ; map.put ( day.valueOf() , appointment ) ; /// ... var app:AppointmentVO = map.get( new Date(2007,6,29).valueOf() ) ; trace( app ) ; PS : My HashMap implementation in AS3 in VEGAS is based over the Dictionnary class. EKA+ :) 2007/7/29, Steven Sacks [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Apologies for not being clearer. I did not intend for you to use new Date().getTime() literally. What I meant was events[new Date(year, month, day).getTime()] so you could use the calendar date itself as the key. It makes no difference what key you decide to use, as long as the key is easy to look up because it has relevance to the calendar date. It's probably less expensive to do [month + / + day + / + year] than creating a new Date object. And yes, in AS3, this would be a good candidate for a Dictionary object.

Re: [Flashcoders] Runtime shared library loading problem
All relative paths in any swfs loaded in your application will use the HTML page as their base path, not their own personal location. Like you already mentioned, you can change this base path by using the base param while embedding. You just need to make all external assets loading to always be relative to the HTML page or the specified base path. Hope this helps On 7/28/07, Kannan Bharadwaj [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have a flash movieclip container that I use to load all my swf files.

Re: [Flashcoders] Couple questions re Zinc and Access
Nope, if your requirements hangs around a PC then, access can be used easily. But if you are looking for a hybrid (PC and Mac) then go with SQLite and this library. -Vipin On 7/29/07, Dave Burnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Vipin, I'll check that out.

Re: [Flashcoders] Runtime shared library loading problem
I think that the issue is that the file (SWF) loading is taking place relative to the url of the root clip. There are various ways to see network traffic, including Live HTTP Headers (plugin for Firefox), Wireshark (network packet sniffer), there's also an addon for IE that does HTTP monitoring although I can't think of its name off the top of my head. These could confirm the full paths that are being requested. You should be able to dynamically find the current base url in actionscript, although its not too pretty as I recall. You could also just pass in the based URL and parse it internally to normalize for the different paths; or if possible just use absolute urls and/or server-relative urls. Hi, I have a flash movieclip container that I use to load all my swf files. I use SWFObject to load this flash container inside the html file and I pass my swf filename as a variable. This works fine as long as my swf files do not contain objects that need to be loaded at runtime. When I have such objects, they do not seem to get loaded. If I load my swf file directly using SWFObject and specify base param to indicate the path to the runtime files, it works fine. The problem happens only when I load my swf file through a container.

Ah, sounds good to me. I was not sure if it was bad practice to not
specify a type.
Well, if you want to write strictly, and if you're interested in exactly
what data type your method returns, you can specify a return type of
Object (the parent of every other AS class):
function getData():Object { // do calculations, return the result }
var returnValue:Object = getData();
if (returnValue instanceof DataType)
{
do stuff;
}
else if (returnValue instanceof OtherDataType
{
do other stuff;
}

[Flashcoders] need some clarifications on Video streaming
Hi, i have some queries regarding video streaming. 1. If we use flash media server to deliver streaming as per user bandwidth, do we need to keep separate flv files for each kind of bandwidth. 2. Is any third party tool available which can be put on server to convert different video formats to flv My requirement is that video uploaded by user in any format is converted to flv and stored on media server, like u can see in youtube. 3. What can be the best way to upload and download high quality video via internet, where bandwidth can vary from palce to place. thanks -- Abhishek Kumar ___ 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
