It sounds like it's time to encode the flash animation to video.

RE: [Flashcoders] flash.filesystem not in Flash?

Thanks Gerry!
I left AIR and went to the Mike Chambers solution, but then in Flash CS5.
It works like a charm!

Thanks to all who cared helping me!!!

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] flash.filesystem not in Flash?

In Flash Player 10 (without using AIR), it's possible to read from and write
to a local files on the user's hard drive, provided the user chooses the
paths to the files using a FileReference.  

See:

 Hi list,
 
 I would like to create an explorer to let a user browse to a specific 
 folder
 
 There he can select a txt-file to load in in Flash CS5.
 And after some string handling, I would like so save the outcome to a 
 XML file.
 
 But apparently flash.filesystem is only working with AIR.
 Can anyone help me with this one??

For some of the cases, yeah. You are right in that encoding to video 
would solve the issue for local playback. Give me a shout when you find 
a tool that actually can do it properly.


But it is not acceptable for online distribution. I myself hate people 
uploading video encodings of their vector animations. It's needlessly 
big files and the quality just isn't as good as the source material.

I hate super heavy cpu supersucker vector animations online, I prefer 
streaming video :) And vector animations compress way nicer to video as 
photographic content does.
I think it is simple to write a tool that onenterframe captures any 
(swf-loaded) animation frame to a bitmap, which you can save with AIR as 
a jpg or png.
Easy to combine this jpg's to an mjpeg video stream in any reasonable 
videopackage or with ffmpeg ( http://www.ffmpeg.org/faq.html#SEC14 ).

[Flashcoders] currency issue

2011-02-26 Thread Cor
I read in a txt file with different formats which can be interpreted as
columns.
There are 3 types of text files where every line of text is formatted like
this:

text - text - currency - currency - text - text - text

or this:

text - text - text - currency - currency - currency - text - text - text -
text

or this:

text - text - text - text - currency - currency -  currency - currency -
text - text - text - text - text

I trim of all the spaces and put every line in an multidimensional array
with every item in its sub-array
I then would like to detect which currency item is the lowest.
There are empty currency fields, so those have to be discarded.
All the items are String data type and the floating point is a comma
because it is a European format.

How can I iterate through these items with the lowest price as result?
Also any better approach is appreciated!


regards,
Cor

Nice. I had to search Flash AS3 Programming once I got to the
site--the link redirected me to their home page.

Once I got to the book, though, it looks nice.
