Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 For loop proplem
Since you have not set x,y for the MovieClips, might the others be
underneath the top one (last loaded)?

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 For loop proplem
This code should load a MovieClip from the library 5 times, place
each on the stage and then load a different image into each one
Instead it loads the 5 MovieClips from the library, places them on
the stage and then only loads the image into the last (5th)
MovieClip, whats going wrong?
this code will not run as its stripped
var itemList:XMLList = locationInfo.item;
for (var i = 0; i itemList.length(); i++) //
Loops through 5 times
{
_summaryElement[i] =
loadLibrary(summaryContainer); // Load our MovieClip from the library
loadImage(images/ + i + .jpg,
_summaryElement[i].sumImg); // Should load image into
_summaryElement[i].sumImg which is a blank placeholder movieclip
}
function loadImage(filename:String,
mcName:MovieClip):void
{
_mcName = mcName; // Contains MovieClip object
(object 1 through 5)
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var imageURL:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(filename);
imageLoader.load (imageURL);
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
imgLoadComplete);
}
function imgLoadComplete(ev:Event):void
{
_mcName.addChild(ev.target.content); // This
should add the loaded image into the placeholder movieclip for each
of the 5 MovieClips

[Flashcoders] FPS limit of flash player inside browser?
Hi, Just came across some limitations on the fps of a flash movie inside a browser. I've read on the internet some messages about the limit to be at around 60? But my tests got stuck at around 33 fps, it begins at around 57, but drops within a few seconds to around 33... Anyone can shine a light on this subject?

Re: [Flashcoders] FPS limit of flash player inside browser?
Hi, The thing is, when you set a FPS value, you're setting an upper limit. It's like telling the player not to play more than n frames per second. But the actual frame rate depends on the available resources. If you're doing something rather processor intensive, the player is likely to start dropping frames. By the way, in most cases setting a FPS above 30 doesn't make much sense (bear in mind that a NTSC video signal runs at 30 FPS, and a PAL one at 25 FPS). And it will only worsen frame-dropping problem, if you already have one.

[Flashcoders] Why isn't my TextField multiline? AS2

If you take a time-based animation inside a 30fps movie and a 60 fps movie, the 60 fps version will look a lot smoother. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. It actually depends on the monitor or screen you're running your movie. In my case, my monitor's refresh rate is at 60Hz, so anything over 60fps will not make it any smoother. If you're running at a TV with a refresh rate of 25Hz, then anything over 25fps is useless. Actually, a small testing program (glxgears) issues 2694fps in my machine, however if I enable sync to vblank in my video card - that is, making graphic applications refresh at the same rate as my monitor - the same program running at 60fps looks indeed smoother than at 2694fps (because you can't divide 2694 by 60 and get an integer, meaning that eventually the rendering engine will have to delay or advance a frame, so I don't get a blank). ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] FPS limit of flash player inside browser?
Ok, I might be wrong about the smothness, I just don't seen any difference, but that can be subjective. However, using a higher frame rate does put more burden on the rendering routines, so if you already have a problem with frames being dropped, it will only get worse by incrementing de FPS.

[Flashcoders] Set FLVPlayback source property via html query parameter for H.264 not working
Hello,
I'm having an issue working with H.264 videos and the FLVPlayback
component.
Set the source FLVPlayback component via ActionScript like the following
is working great.
flv.play(sample.m4v);
However, if I try to set the source of the FLVPlayback component via
ActionScript with a query parameter, I get a connection error. Same
video, same path, tried both relative and absolute paths.
// get query parameters
var o:Object = l.parameters;
for (var prop in o) {
switch (prop){
case VIDEO_PATH:
videoPath=String(o[prop]);
break;
// I have multiple parameters I'm passing in
...
}
}
debug(videpPath); //outputs sample.m4v
try {
flv.play(videoPath);
} catch (e:Error){
debug(e); //no error is thrown for some reason
}
Anybody have any idea why it works in the first example, but the second
example doesn't work? The second example works fine when passing in an
.flv. I'm trying to get this app to work using the H.264 formatted
videos.
Thanks.

Never mind. After pulling in the FLVPlayback component and replacing the
existing component in my fla, it started working. I guess I forgot
to do this after installing the Flash Update. That would explain why the
first example worked fine - new fla.
