[Flashcoders] avoid red-eye effect library in photographs made in actionscript - possible?

2008-09-09 Thread Claudio M. E. Bastos Iorio
Hi, is possible the subject?
Is there any library/algorithm to avoid the red eye effect in a
photograph made in actionscript? I'm working on AIR, so access to file
system is covered.
If not, has any of you tried some library/solution? Any
help/link/idea is welcome. I'm making my research on this but can't
find anything..

Regards

[Flashcoders] removeChild madness

2008-09-09 Thread Sander Schuurman
I know there's a lot written about the Garbage Collection, and removing assets 
in AS3...
I'm trying to get my hands around it, but I'm still strugling ;)

A simple example:

I'm adding a MovieClip from the library, and I'm removing it as well, like a 
toggle.
The MovieClip contains the System.totalMemory property.
If I keep toggling the MC on and of... the memory keeps going up...
I'm destroying the MC and removing it from the displayList...
But it's not cleared from the memory. What Am I missing?

ToggleCode:

private function toggleDebug() :void
{
var dw:debugWindow_lib = getChildByName('debugWindow') as 
debugWindow_lib;
if (dw == null )
{
var debugWindow:MovieClip = new debugWindow_lib();
debugWindow.name = debugWindow;
addChild(debugWindow);
}
else
{
dw.destroy();
removeChild(dw);
}
}

Class

public class debugWindow_lib extends MovieClip
{
public function debugWindow_lib()
{
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame, 
false, 0, true);
}

private function onEnterFrame( e :Event ) :void
{
var tM:Number = System.totalMemory / 1024;
totalMemory.text = tM.toString();
}
public function destroy()
{
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
}
}

[Flashcoders] FLA/SWF TO FLV

2008-09-09 Thread Elia Morling

I have a flash animation that I need to convert to FLV.
How should I proceed for best results?

Should I convert SWF to FLV?
I tried the MagicSwf2AVI, but the cropping was weird and the FLV quality was 
poor. Maybe because they are using poor encoder...


Perhaps another approach...
Should I export from Flash? Picture sequence? AVI with what codec?
What should I use to import sequence or AVI to and export to FLV?
Sorenson squeeze seemed to be a bad choice for working with picture 
sequences...


Thanks,
Elia

RE: [Flashcoders] removeChild madness

2008-09-09 Thread Romuald Quantin
I'm not sure but I think you don't correctly remove the onEnterFrame Event.
As you use the weakReference you miss the false in the remove method, you
should remove it that way:

 

removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame, false);

 

If this doesn't solve your problem, I usually set the instance to null after
a remove:

 

removeChild(dw);

dw = null;

 

I hope it helps.

[Flashcoders] TextArea class properties

2008-09-09 Thread Lehr, Theodore M (N-SGIS)
I have a TexrArea I am creating via:

 

mx.controls.TextArea

 

I am trying to find a way to make it so the text is not selectable -
when I select some text I get a green border around the textarea - I
would like to get that to not show up and I am thinking that if they can
not select the text it will not show up... any ideas?

I think it might be:

Getting rid of the focus rect is generally a separate issue though,  
but when the component 'enabled' property is set to false, the focus  
rect shouldn't show.

[Flashcoders] AS3 dynamic text fields and img

2008-09-09 Thread Jessica Criscione
I have an AS3 project where an icon is supposed to follow the text in a
dynamic, multi-line text field. Right now, I'm appending it as an img tag
at the end of the text. My problem is that it seems AS3 is always bumping
the img down to a new line unless it's the first item in the string. No
amount of css or parameter settings seem to have any effect.

Does anyone know any way around this other than calculating the text length
and appending the icon clip afterwards? Am I just missing something obvious?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 dynamic text fields and img

2008-09-09 Thread sebastian

hmmm, have you tried:

textFieldName.text += img...

if that is not working, then try building it all in one sentence:

imgAtEnd = img...
segment1 = some value + imgAtEnd;
//segment2 = same as segment 1 and 3 and 4 only with new different values
textFieldName.text = segment1 + segment2 + segment3 + segment4;

Maybe I'm over simplifying though...

Hi Boyd,

Yes, you'll need to do import flash.system.Security; to use the
loadPolicyFile method.

Also, in your crossdomain.xml, you'll need to include 
allow-access-from domain=www.boyd-speer.com/, or
allow-access-from domain=*.boyd-speer.com/
The way it is coded now will only allow the specific domain,
http://boyd-speer.com. Any differences to that (www, dev, etc.) will cause a
mismatch and the domain will not be allowed.

Re: [Flashcoders] getting loader to work with security policy...

2008-09-09 Thread Juan Pablo Califano
Maybe I'm misreading something, but placing a crossdomain policy file in
boyd-speer.com to allow access from boyd-speer.com makes not much sense to
me...

The crossdomain file has to be placed in the target host, i.e. the server
that holds the php file. It says, let any swf server from this domain access
this host.

So, if you have your swf in, say, www.swfdomain.com and want to access
www.phpdomain.com/script.php, you have to place your crossdomain.xml in
phpdomain.com, granting access to, at least, www.swfdomain.com.

By the way, if you can put the file crossdomain file at the public root
level of the target host, you don't need to explicitly load the policy file
(the player will look up for it there if you make a crossdomain call and
don't specify a policy file).

Cheers

again

 

It all worked fine until I started using a textarea component... It

Sounds like you're using AS2.  When you put the textarea on the stage,
try doing it with movieclip.createclassobject() and when you want to get
rid of it, use destroyObject().  I just went through some difficulties
with the same issue.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 dynamic text fields and img

2008-09-09 Thread Keith Reinfeld
Jessica, 
 
 My problem is that it seems AS3 is always bumping 
 the img down to a new line unless it's the first item in the string. 
 
This behavior hasn't changed from earlier versions of AS. 
 
 Does anyone know any way around this other than calculating 
 the text length 
 and appending the icon clip afterwards? 
 
I don't believe there is any way to automate the placement of the image tag
without iterating over the textfield for character widths and line counts. 
 
You didn't say where your text is coming from (or how much there is) so it
is hard to know how practical a manual trial-and-error solution would be for
you. 
 
One possibility would be to manually place the image tag in the block of
text such that it is within the second to last line as it is displayed in
the textfield. Your image will still be right aligned. 
 
Or 
 
I am guessing from your use of the phrase icon clip that the images you
want to use are in the .fla library rather than external. That being the
case, what you can do is create a parent clip with the desired linkage name
that has a child clip with the actual image and an instance name 'icon'. The
idea here is to use the child clip's _x and _y properties to position the
actual icon image wherever you like. You will need to set the image tag's id
attribute (for the parent clip) in order to target the child clip's
properties. 
 
For example: 
 
textFieldName.someImageID.icon._x = -10; 
textFieldName.someImageID.icon._y = -10; 
 
The exact details regarding how this could be set-up depend on how you are
loading your text.

[Flashcoders] Tween multiple rotations

2008-09-09 Thread Glen Pike

Hi,

   I am trying to rotate an object through 1080 (3 * 360) degrees with 
TweenLite.


   Does anyone know if I have to join a sequence of 360 tweens together 
to do this, or is there a way of cheating so it just does as you would hope?


   Thanks

   Glen
