[Flashcoders] possible to test processor speed
Is it possible to test a user's processor speed using flash. I'm addressing a video issue on a site and the client is considering making and A and B version (one with video and one without) that is served based on the users processor speed. Is this possible or should I just focus on creating a less taxing version of the site without video?

[Flashcoders] Fwd: Reasonable Expectations (might be off topic)
I have recently completed a project for a client that involved a heavy video component (by their request). I went to the nines on this one with a streaming server from akamai to help with the video load time. The main swf file weights in at 96K. The sub swfs that load in are about 50K. The video streams from the server. The original version contained bandwidth detection to supply video, etc. The client elected never to launch the project because they couldn't get it to work on a couple of their employees internal machines. I had it tested on about 200 computers all over the country before delivering without any problems. The client only tested about 3 computers at one facility and said it didn't work. I went to their place and tested myself and it worked on 10 machines. The ones that weren't working were IBM thinkpads running a 1 ghz celeron processor with 512MB of RAM. That's the only thing that I can think of that is caused the hiccup. Their internet connection came back at almost T1 speed but they still had issues with the video. Is it reasonable that it was the computer that was the barrier or am I missing something? They are now in a don't want to pay mode and I'm trying to show them that it was a problem on their end since I could never recreate the problem except on those few machines? Thanks and sorry if this is OT. I can post elsewhere it need be. I just thought that you guys have dealt with this on a wide scale with the scope of your projects and could shed some light on what i might have overlooked. P.S. I've delivered at least 4 other websites with the same backbone, same streaming server, etc. this year and not one of the other clients has had any issue.

[Flashcoders] capture and email
I have an application that allows people to build, and customize buildings. The client would like the functionality available to screen capture their final building and attach to an email through a flash based email form. The email form is no problem but 1) Im not sure how to is best to capture what they have built on screen 2) not sure how to take that capture and attach the email. Can you guys possibly steer me in the right direction? Thanks, -- Bo Parker, AIGA Bo Co.

[Flashcoders] Blaze PDF jpeg import
I have a movie clip on stage that is loading in content. I am then taking a screenshot of the movie clip using the Bitmap Class and am curious how to get the screen capture into blazePDF. I have tried their forum to no avail and was curious if anyone here and tinkered with version 2.0 and figured out how to get the captured data into the blazePDF component to create a pdf.

[Flashcoders] Flash PDF Generator Freelance Job
I am currently working with a client on a web to print system. The system is flash based. The idea is that templates are loaded in, customized and a pdf is generated and exported to a watch folder that networked press can grab and feed into the cue. We will need to capture some info about the job and generate an email to give heads up that the job is in progress. What has been built? The interface and the templates have been built and coded. The customization component is done utilizing FCMS. What I need is the pdf generation and export from flash and the placement into the watch folder. I have gotten really busy and am in a little over my head on this part and would like to freelance this out. I need a bid and timelines and it is available immediately. Thanks very much and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks again, -- Bo Parker, AIGA Bo Co.

[Flashcoders] Netstream status
I have an swf that is utilizing video. I also have a set of tweens
that are happening in the background of the swf. What I want to
accomplish is that when I press the pause button, the tweens pause as
well as the flv video. I am using fuse to control the tweens and have
no problem pausing them, the issue is checking the status of the flv.
My code for the flv pause is quite simple:
-
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect (null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
mainVideo.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play(home.flv);
//Video Controls
controls2.rewind.onRelease = function() {
ns.seek(0);
Fuse.startRecent();
};
controls2.play.onRelease = function() {
ns.pause();
//_root.pauseAllTweens()
Fuse.pauseAll();
};
--
I need to check the status of ns to see if it is playing or paused
and created an if statement that if the state is play then for
Fuse.pauseAll(); else if the state is pause the Fuse.playAll();
I'm having trouble finding a starting place. Can someone point me in
the right direction? Thanks,
--

[Flashcoders] moving jpeg out of swf
I want to preface this by saying that I've tried searching for this for the past hour. I am creating an application that takes a screenshot of a movie clip. That part is successful. I need to be able to take that screenshot, and move the image out of the swf file and save on a server. I've tried google and working with printJob but that's not exactly the right fit. Could you guys point me in the right direction toward achieving this end? Thanks, -- Bo Parker, AIGA Bo Co.

[Flashcoders] Windows IE Cache Problem
I have a client that has webcams that are sending images via ftp to a folder every 15 seconds to a static link and overwriting the previous image of the same name. I am bringing those images into a flash interface and am refreshing those images every 15 seconds with a setInterval loop. Everything works fine on all browsers except IE on windows. It is caching the image and not updating at all. Is there anyway, that I can force IE to dump the reference it has in the cache and pull in the newer image? Thanks, (for reference, go to www.thegrandpet.com and click on the webcams.

Add a dummy query to your url: instead of asking for www.myserver.com/myimage.jpg, ask for www.myserver.com/myimage.jpg? random=8764865 That should force a refresh.

[Flashcoders] Variable scope issue
I have a combox instance that is being populated with the data below. In the
oListener.change function, I am defining a variable that is getting a value
for the variable mItemLabel. I want that value to be available to the next
function, setShirtSize below and have tried a million different combinations
but keeping getting an undefined value. I know this is a scope issue and
there is probably a very easy answer but how do you move the local variable
up to make it available and then back down into another function? Thanks,
ccbProducts.dataProvider = [{label:Small}, {label:Medium}, {label:
Large}, {label: X Large}, {label: XX Large}];
var oListener:Object = new Object() ;
oListener.change = function (oEvent:Object) {
mItem = ccbProducts.selectedItem;
mItemLabel = mItem.label;
};
ccbProducts.addEventListener (change, oListener);
function setShirtSize() {
BN.setItemName(mItemLabel + + Blue Moneymaker Gaming T-Shirt);
}

[Flashcoders] Dumb ComboBox Question
I have a combobox on stage at the root level named ccbProducts with values
of Small, Medium, Large, X Large and XX Large as labels with no
corresponding data. In frame one, I have assigned the following actions:
ccbProducts.dataProvider = [Small, Medium, Large, X Large, XX
Large];
var oListener:Object = new Object() ;
oListener.change = function (oEvent:Object):Void {
trace (ccbProducts.selectedItem);
trace (mItem);
};
ccbProducts.addEventListener (change, oListener);
mItem = ccbProducts.selectedItem;
function setShirtSize() {
mItem = ccbProducts.selectedItem;
BN.setItemName(mItem + + Blue Moneymaker Gaming T-Shirt);
}
setShirtSize;
The setShirtSize function is to pass a variable to a paypal component that
supplies the shirt size. When I trace ccbProducts.selectedItem, I see that
the shirt size changes. However, when I trace mItem, the value is stuck on
small. What am I doing wrong and why is mItem not updating? Thanks,
Bo

[Flashcoders] Addressing dynamically named movie clip
I am working on an application where I want to apply transformations
to dynamically named movie clips. I have a function which adds a
shape to the stage based on a linkage name in the library:
function addShape(sLinkage:String):Void {
var nIndex:Number = _root.getNextHighestDepth();
var mcShape:MovieClip = this.attachMovie (sLinkage, mcShape +
nTopDepth, nTopDepth);
nTopDepth = nIndex;
mcShape._x = 450;
mcShape._y = 300;
}
from a button on the root level of the stage I call the function:
squareButton.onRelease = function() {
addShape(rectangle);
};
I then want to be able to apply transformations to the new movie clip
using the bitstream component slider that is within a movie clip at
_root.squareBar:
///squarebar
squareBar.hs.changeHandler = function(){
_root.rectangle_mc.hresizer.setSize(squareBar.hs.value,
squareBar.vs.value);
}
squareBar.vs.changeHandler = function(){
_root.rectangle_mc.hresizer.setSize(squareBar.hs.value,
squareBar.vs.value);
}
I originally had a static movie clip called rectangle that was on
the root level but have since replaced with the dynamically named
movie clips.
I have a variable defined on frame 1 of the root level called:
var sSelected:String;
Within the rectangle movie clip that gets added to the stage, upon
pressing the movie the sSelected variable is set to the instance name
of the rectangle selected:
on (press) {
sSelected = this._name;
trace(sSelected);
}
The sSelected variable is showing up fine by my problem is how do I
address sSelected or the dynamic instance name of the movie placed on
stage to apply the transformations from the squareBar.hs.changeHander
function?
i.e. squareBar.hs.changeHandler = function () {
[dynamically named movie clip here]._mc.hresizer.setSize...
}
Thanks in advance for the help.
Sincerely,
Bo Parker
