[Flashcoders] How to handle ScriptTimeoutError with larger PrintJobs?
Dear Flashcoders,
I need to find a solution to the said problem:
I have an swf with a printAll function that prints out the content of a
multiple frames mc that loads at runtime. Since the Flash.PrintJob class has a
built in 15 second Timeout between every subsequent
PrintJob.start()/PrintJob.addPage()/PrintJob,send() I get Timeout Errors when
the spooling of the pages takes to long. I need to find a way to catch this
error and at least reset my swf (I do some scaling to fit to the Print size and
reset that later on). Right now I only catch Errors when the user cancels the
print job or another error occurs on printing but not the Timeout. Anyway,
here's what I tried to date:
///___
var counter=1;
var myPrintJob:PrintJob;
var currFrame;
var options:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
options.printAsBitmap = false;
function printHandler(event:MouseEvent)
{
counter=0;
myPrintJob=new PrintJob();
var printTrigger=event.target.name;
currFrame=ref.currentFrame;
reset_mc();
//alles drucken
if (printTrigger==print_btn)
{
for (var i=1;i=ref.totalFrames;i++)
{
dispatchEvent(new Event(addNewPage));
}
}
}
function OnAddNewPage(e:Event)
{
try
{
counter++;
if(counter==1)
{
trace(started)
myPrintJob.start();
}
//setze Printbreite
if (ref.widthmyPrintJob.paperWidth)
{
ref.width=myPrintJob.paperWidth;
ref.scaleY=ref.scaleX;
}
trace(adding +counter)
ref.gotoAndStop(counter);
myPrintJob.addPage(ref,null,options);
if(counter==ref.totalFrames)
{
trace(sent)
myPrintJob.send();
myPrintJob=null;
//mc zurücksetzen
reset_mc();
}
}
catch(error:Error)
{
//mc zurücksetzen
trace(print error: +error);
myPrintJob=null;
reset_mc();
return;
}
catch(e:ScriptTimeoutError)
{
// ScriptTimeoutError: Error #1502: A script has executed for
longer than 15 seconds
trace(Timeout: +e);
reset_mc();
myPrintJob=null;
return;
}
}
function reset_mc()
{
//mc zurücksetzen
//trace(resetting);
}
///_
Thanks for any input on this
Thomas

Although stopAllSounds() is AS2, that was enough of a breadcrumb to find the AS3 equivalent: // make sure you import this class: import flash.media.SoundMixer; // triggered in the out transition SoundMixer.stopAll(); I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do this, but it works.

Basically I have a gallery-type nav; when you click on an item, an external swf is loaded into a container_mc. The container_mc lives in the main timeline and is simply used to tween the loaded swf in/out and around. I'm accessing a close button that lives in the loaded swf via: event.target.content.close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, outroAnimationandUnloadContainer_mc); In this loaded swf is an instance of the flv playback component. The close_btn to unloads the swf fine, but the audio keeps playing. I need flv_playback.stop() but I'm confused how to access it. I can't use event.target.content.flv.stop() b/c the event is a level deeper than the event.target.content.close_btn.addEventListener used above. So - how do I make that flv shut-up when I unload it off the stage? Thank you very much. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

[Flashcoders] disable mouse on transparent part of alpha video
Hi list, I need to create a couple of talking persons on a square, using transparent flv's for that. But it seems the whole of the video is clickable, even the transparent part (which is logical), is there any way to disable that? One other option I have is copying the persons to a bitmap and check the pixel transparency, but I'm guessing that is going to slow things down:) thanks Hans ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] disable mouse on transparent part of alpha video
Hi, nope thats true, but I'm more concerned about the usability side of things, I don want to show a cursor when you cant click, so I would have to perform the check much more often. regards Hans On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 1:34 PM, Glen Pike g...@engineeredarts.co.ukwrote: Hi, Hans Wichman wrote: One other option I have is copying the persons to a bitmap and check the pixel transparency, but I'm guessing that is going to slow things down:) But if you are only checking transparency on a CLICK event, that is not going to happen to often in relation to playing the FLV right?

Hi, ok that might work, I'll try to mask out the shapes that have to be clickable. thanks folks!
