Re: [Flashcoders] video seek ability
If I'm not mistaken, there's a flaw in the logic, as the progress is based on bytesLoaded and bytesTotal, while the shuttle/scrubber is time based. Only the beginning and end of both will match up (0% loaded = 0 time -- 100% loaded = total time). Make sense? Most video players out there do it that way though (as you described). regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Steven Sacks [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 6:20 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] video seek ability Here's what you need to know to make a good scrubber for progressive download FLVs. 1. You need a background that shows the entire width of the bar. 2. You need a progress bar that shows how much of the video has loaded. The width of this bar is the background.width * (ns.bytesLoaded / ns.bytesTotal); 3. You need a playback bar or shuttle which is updated on a timer. The width (bar) or position (shuttle) is the background.width * (ns.time / ns.metaData.duration). 4. You put the mouse events on the progress bar. On press, you set a flag that you're seeking (so the update doesn't move the bar/shuttle but does keep the progress bar updated), you pause the video, and you start a timer that calls an update function. In the update function, you track the mouseX and constrain the value (via Math.min and Math.max) to values between 0 and the progress bar width, to which you set the position of the shuttle or width of the playback bar. You take the position/width of the bar, divide it by the background.width, multiply that by the duration of the ns, round it, and that's your seek time. When you release, you unpause the video (assuming the video was playing when you pressed, you'll need to keep a separate flag for that). If you do it like I've described, then the dragging is always constrained by the current loaded amount, not the loaded amount at the time you pressed, and you don't get that ugly stutter when you stay in one place (there's no reason to not pause the video when scrubbing). ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] video seek ability
Make sense? bytesTotal = 100% * width; duration = 100% * width; bytesLoaded / bytesTotal = 0%-100% * width time / duration = 0%-100% * width The relationship between bytesLoaded and time is 1 to 1, which is why my scrubber logic is flawless.

It is incredibly rare that I agree with Steven. :-) I do on this one,
as I said earlier - although I might not have expressed it like that.
That pattern - as above - which wraps a private property up as a
couple of methods is exactly what happens with explicit
setters/getters (getVar(), setVar()) _all the time_ in Java simply in
self defense, because changing from a public property to a
getter/setter breaks the API of your class (and so you need to rewrite
all the classes using it).
Which is why in this instance AS is head-and-shoulders over Java.

Re: [Flashcoders] use get / set functions or make your own
For some vars, the bounds don't matter - so why not use a public? If they do matter, use getters/setters. The beauty of Actionscript is - to the designer - it doesn't matter or change anything. :-) And from your PoV, you can flip between either when you need to add (or drop) bounds checks.

Re: [Flashcoders] asset versioncontrol
Don't know how you've got your server setup, or which version control system you are using... We are using SVN. If you create a tag, it just creates an alias to the files, not a true copy; so the size in the repository doesn't go up by a huge amount. Are you keeping a local copy of all your tagged code or something?

[Flashcoders] effects theory? keeping processes low...
Hey guys I am working on a fullscreen flash site. I am hoping to bring
down the CPU cycles. Right now on the PC I'm using to test it on it
runs high like 90%. I was hoping there might be a way to bring down
the processor. But I have tried about everything. I'm not sure what I
could do to get it much lower. I'm sure there are a few pros out there
that would have a few ideas. Here is the page...
http://projectx4.com/site_test/. From all my tests it just seems like
moving that many large objects on the screen is just going to bring
the processor to its knees no matter what. Would any one have any
ideas how to help this at all?
Would doing some sort of bitmap object hack work either? Thanks for
the help in advance!

mc.orbTween = TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {delay: mc.ranTime-1, alpha: 0,
onComplete: removeOrb, onCompleteScope: shell, onCompleteParams: [mc],
overwrite: false});
}

[Flashcoders] Problem with Forward and Rewind Buttons in FLVPlayback component
Hello. I'm building a simple video player in Flash CS3 using the FLVPlayback component and the SkinUnderAllNoFullNoCaption skin. I can't seem to get the Forward and Rewind buttons to work. I've created an .flv, using the Flash Video Encoder, which includes a cue point every 10 seconds, but when I click the Forward and Rewind buttons it only skips to the very beginning or end of the flv. I've checked the FLVPlayback component's metadata and it does indeed have the cue points once the video has loaded.

Re: [Flashcoders] asset versioncontrol
Hi, yep using subversion. I usually create the tag in my workingcopy, but on the server would be fine as well. We have one system though with some 500 small projects, all in a single repository, which are tagged before they are released. But the structure for that repository is like: project1\tags project1\trunk project2\tags project2\trunk Some contentdevelopers have to work on a number of those small projects, so they just check out the root of the repository :). Would be nice if you could say something like get this directory and all subdirectories but ignore the tags or something like that. Another issue though is that binary assets often completely change after updating (eg an flv thats rerendered), so the whole file is submitted to svn again (since about every byte differs). Not sure what I'm looking for here, something like being able to put a file in a repository, without tracking it's history I guess (since it's content are derived from other material which is leading). regards, JC On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 5:59 PM, Ian Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Don't know how you've got your server setup, or which version control system you are using...

Re: [Flashcoders] asset versioncontrol
Smaller projects we've done what you have. My understanding of SVN theory would indicate that making a tag shouldn't increase the size of your repository because a tag is just pointers to a version of a file, the file is not duplicated. Adding or changing assets does of course increase the size of the repository because they are added as binary files and not differenced like text (code) files. For bigger projects, you might be better off going with a whole separate asset management system. This keeps your code repository small, easy to backup, etc. and allows you to use a better tool for asset management. I also add a resources folder if necessary. This contains anything else such as fonts that you might need to create a build with the theory you can download everything from the trunk with maybe only adding assets to create a working build on any computer.

Re: [Flashcoders] asset versioncontrol
Hi, Is it your checked out repository which increases in size when you tag stuff, or is it your actual repo' on the server? Like the guy said before, a tag is just a snapshot of a revision - it should not exist in full unless you get it out of the repository - but I may be wrong... Also, you can ignore directories and files from the versioning http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.html Using TortoiseSVN, you can right click, look at the properties for the file / folder and add a New one - ignore is in the drop down list - this can be a bit fiddly for folders - I think I had to do this with a freshly checked out repo' before it stopped moaning at me. Ignoring does not solve your filtering out tags problem - it looks like people asked for this a while ago, but it has not been implemented. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=enq=svn+checkout+filteringbtnG=Searchmeta= http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=enq=svn+checkout+filteringbtnG=Searchmeta= You can checkout various parts of a repository into the same directory, but I understand that this could be a pain if you have to root around and find the place to start.

[Flashcoders] AS2 cross-domain parent-child swf scripting
*Background:* SWF #1 is published for Flash 8 / AS2 on domain name #1 and loads in SWF #2 (same publish settings) from domain #2. Both SWFs are created using Flash CS4 (I need to stick with these publish settings for this project) and I have tested this using Flash Player 9 and 10. SWF #1 needs to load SWF #2 as a child movieclip, then at any point after load, SWF #1 should be able to read variables from SWF #2. (Eventually it will need to work both ways.) I ensured that I can at least do a simple cross-domain data load using LoadVars in SWF #1 and a cross domain policy file on domain #2 - that works perfectly. *Problem: *SWF #1 loads SWF #2 no problem, but SWF #1 cannot read any variables from SWF #2 long after loading has completed -- every variable is always undefined. But when testing within the Flash IDE it works fine. Sounds easy enough as these posts describe the simple solution to this security restriction: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=1083.html http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=1082.html#wp238823 But whether SWF #2 contains System.security.allowDomain(*), or System.security.allowDomain(domain #1 here), or System.security.allowDomain(_parent._url), or even if I attempt to set up a LocalConnection in SWF #2 whose allowDomain handler always returns true.none of these work. I could post code samples but they no different than the examples in those two links. Can anyone else get this simple setup to work correctly? Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] asset versioncontrol
Hi Hans, Sounds like your problem is really that you're pulling all your tags from the repository to your local machines (in the repository, they're just links - on your local machine, they are actual copies). Maybe you need to reorganise a bit, or make sure your developers only pull out trunk? We have something more like: trunk/ project1/ project2/ shared-code/ build-utils/ tags/ project-1-v1-0/ project1/ project2/ shared-code/ build-utils/ project-2-v1-0/ project1/ project2/ shared-code/ build-utils/ which isn't ideal (see the unecessary inclusion of project2 inside project1's tag) but it doesn't cost much in the way of extra space on the server (since all tags are just logical links, not physical copies) and means that when we extract project1 at v1-0 we can roll back our shared code to exactly the right point too. It also means our build utils are the right versions to recreate that project at v1-0. Hope that's helpful!

Hi, no only the checkout. At least thats how it should be, or its time to kill the sysadmin (for a variety of reasons;)). Maybe I'll wait a bit more for the filter option. Thanks to all who responded!

Like the guy said before, a tag is just a snapshot of a revision - it should not exist in full unless you get it out of the repository - but I may be wrong... Also, you can ignore directories and files from the versioning http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.html Using TortoiseSVN, you can right click, look at the properties for the file / folder and add a New one - ignore is in the drop down list - this can be a bit fiddly for folders - I think I had to do this with a freshly checked out repo' before it stopped moaning at me. Ignoring does not solve your filtering out tags problem - it looks like people asked for this a while ago, but it has not been implemented. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=enq=svn+checkout+filteringbtnG=Searchmeta= http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=enq=svn+checkout+filteringbtnG=Searchmeta= You can checkout various parts of a repository into the same directory, but I understand that this could be a pain if you have to root around and find the place to start.

[Flashcoders] What heck is up with parent in actionscript 3?
Hi again, I am trying to call a function to a parent of a movieclip.

Re: [Flashcoders] asset versioncontrol
Hi Ian, yes thanks thats helpful, but unfortunately especially in the way that there is no secret cool option (like ctrl-shift-1:)), I'm overlooking. I'm aware that SVN stores only links and that the size only becomes a problem in the local checkout, fact is the original layout was like you describe, but with 500 subprojects I kind of lost it ;). Doesn't tagging take an awful lot of time this way? Maybe your solution is a lot easier. The downside is like you say, if you pass someone a link to version 1 of project 1 he gets the rest too. Must sleep on this :) Thanks for your time and ideas! Hans On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 9:54 PM, Ian Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Hans, Sounds like your problem is really that you're pulling all your tags from the repository to your local machines (in the repository, they're just links - on your local machine, they are actual copies). Maybe you need to reorganise a bit, or make sure your developers only pull out trunk? We have something more like: trunk/ project1/ project2/ shared-code/ build-utils/ tags/ project-1-v1-0/ project1/ project2/ shared-code/ build-utils/ project-2-v1-0/ project1/ project2/ shared-code/ build-utils/ which isn't ideal (see the unecessary inclusion of project2 inside project1's tag) but it doesn't cost much in the way of extra space on the server (since all tags are just logical links, not physical copies) and means that when we extract project1 at v1-0 we can roll back our shared code to exactly the right point too. It also means our build utils are the right versions to recreate that project at v1-0. Hope that's helpful!

Carl, .callMedia isn't a method of MovieClip. You need to cast it (using the 'as' operator) to whatever class you are defining callMedia in. Possibly your document class? (Don't know your setup.) (I'd also suggest you take a look at dispatching events rather than directly referencing the parent as you're doing here - AS3 is very event-based, and once you get into using events, the whole framework will make a lot more sense...)
