hi guys
i have a quick question regarding streaming mp3s.
I have several (hundred) dynamically loaded mp3s that i've been
streaming into flash using the following code:
NOTE: AS2

private function startMouth():Void
{
var avatarSound:Sound = new Sound();
avatarSound.loadSound(mp3, true);
avatarSound.onSoundComplete = Delegate.create(this, stopMouth);
}
[/code]
mp3 is a getter that grabs the property _mp3 which is set
dynamically before the method
the problem i'm having is that the mp3s don't always stream fully
and can stop before the end (and because of this, the
onSoundComplete never fires).
This is for a high-use application so we expect high server-load and
spikes which makes me think that streaming might not be the best way
- the mp3s are between 5-8k each so i was thinking that preloading
them individually before use might be better
would you agree with this or is there a better way of doing this?
thanks a lot

I agree and although the occasional job is nice, if only to see what the market is like, I do feel that Beau is starting to use this list as his personal source for flash/flex developers. And what cracks me up even more is that he does not want any recruiters replying to his jobs. Isn't he a recruiter himself and isn't that what recruiters do anyway... Can we keep this list to what it supposed to be about and that is discussing flash/as3 issues and not recruiting... Seriously Beau, if you have nothing to contribute to the discussions of flash/as3 that will benefit the community and not your pockets then please don't use this list.

[Flashcoders] Question e4x attributes text replace
Hello,
I have this xml file that I would like to filter on a certain string
$$lang$$ and I was wondering
if it is possible in one go using regExp instead of looping through an
XMLList
var conf:XML = config
assets
asset id=chapter1 path=assets/$$lang$$/chapter1.swf /
asset id=chapter2 path=assets/$$lang$$/chapter2.swf /
asset id=chapter3 path=assets/$$lang$$/chapter3.swf /
asset id=chapter_$$lang$$ path=assets/$$lang$$/chapter4.swf
/
/assets
/config
I know it is possible to do inline functions but could get the current
node and then replace the text
var processed:XMLList = conf..*.(test(attributes()) );
function test(tValue:Object):void
{
trace('called' , tValue)
}
In this case how do I get acces to the current XMLList and change the
$$lang$$ for another string
Hope somebody can help me out.

Re: [Flashcoders] Question e4x attributes text replace
Convert the XML to a string.
Do the regExp replace on the string.
Reparse the XML?
e.g.
var str:String=xml.toXMLString();
// do replacement here...
xml=new XML(str);
Might not be the fastest in the world, depending on the amount of XML
you are parsing, but it'll do the job.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: masking w/o using bitmapCaching = true?
yes, you don't use bitmapCaching with animated movie. Catching must be done when nothing moves. You can try enabling and disabling BitmapCaching after and before animating it's content.

Re: [Flashcoders] can audio be extracted from .flv (audio only) and converted to .mp3 using AS3?
Hi, I have been looking into this and ffmpeg should now be able to extract the MP3 from an FLV - a recent update includes the Nelly Moser codec. All my bookmarks are at work, but I will forward them tomorrow and if you are still stuck, I will post them. If you google flv mp3 ffmpeg you may get some hits. I am guessing that if you are running Red5, you have shell access to the server - you will need this to setup ffmpeg, but you can use PHP to call server side scripts - be careful of this because you are potentially opening security holes if you allow user input to name your files - you may also be able to get a Red5 application to do the same. If I remember, some of the Red5 samples show saving audio, but as FLV's. Maybe you can tap into these app's to see if you can call command line stuff. If it's Java, it may be trickier, because Java will probably enforce some kind of sandbox, whereas PHP is pretty loose about what you do. HTH Glen Juan Pablo Califano wrote: I think you can use exec, passthru, shell_exec or some other similiar function from the php side to run the program on the server as an external process (I never did that, but with the proper permissions, I believe it's possible). So, you would tell this program to extract the audio data to some file and when it returns, you could pass the path of the new mp3 to the flash app for it to load it.

Re: [Flashcoders] System.security HELP
Hi, I am not sure about 2 SWF's communicating across domains - that sounds like it would use JavaScript, which probably won't work because it is essentially cross site scripting (XSS), which is usually forbidden for JS. If you are loading one SWF inside another, you need to have a crossdomain.xml file in the root directory of mydomain-other.com (if that is the SWF you are loading). If it loads the SWF, then that bit works. The next bit is whether the SWF you loaded is allowed to talk to the parent one, that maybe a bigger can of worms and I am still trying to get my head around it all. I think you have to put the but there are some articles here... http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/security.html FP7 has the System.security stuff in, which will apply to 8 too.

You should try BlendMode.ERASE. Draw a gradient with alpha=0 at center, and alpha=1 at the edges. Place it right on top of your menu and set its blendMode to ERASE. The sprite containing the menu and the mask must have blendMode set to LAYER (or any other blendMode with a similar working). maskGradient.blendMode = BlendMode.ERASE; container.blendMode = BlendMode.LAYER; -- Eduardo Omine http://blog.omine.net/ http://www.omine.net/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
