Re: [Flashcoders] MouseMove - performance issues
Hi Glen,
are you using the updateAfterEvent method in your mouse move handler?
private function mouseMoveHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(mouseMoveHandler);
event.updateAfterEvent();
}
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/events/MouseEvent.html#updateAfterEvent%28%29
otherwise i'd try a timer, i had to do this recently with some 3d stuff
where startDrag refuses to work when something was rendered as 3d and using
a timer was a good alternative.
hope this helps some,
Dunc

Hi,
I am noticing a performance issue creeping into my application todo
with mouse movement.
We have a touchscreen with custom sliders to control stuff via a few
AS3 classes then an XML socket.
The sliders use a thumb which applies an MOUSE_MOVE listener to
the stage when the thumb receives a MOUSE_DOWN event and removes it when
the stage / thumb gets a MOUSE_UP event.
If someone moves the slider quickly, over a period of time, the
screen update becomes more and more delayed and when you release the
slider. it bounces around for ages after you let go, the longer and
faster you move it for, the longer it takes to stop.
Now some of this bottleneck is due to the amount of code that gets
called each mouse move, which I understand. What I could do with does
anyone have any tips or techniques for reducing the bottleneck or
handling the mouse movement events differently.
e.g. Do I need to start looking at ENTER_FRAME or timer based
events, or something else.
From what I understand, FlashPlayer will handle the mouse events as
the OS sends them - the problem is not apparent on Windows running dual
Xeon 5150's, but deploying on an AMD Athlon Dual core 5000+ running
Gentoo + FP10 (10.0.32.18?) the FlashPlayer don't like it, no sirree.
TIA.

[Flashcoders] BUG: channel.position doesn't work with mp3s
Hi Steven, this sounds similar to the sample rate bug, this one drove me absolutely bat shit. https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-33 someone in the thread provides some files that may be helpful to you, i didn't check them out so i can't verify, we just resampled all the audio files for our project, but this is breaking alot of legacy apps at the moment. apparently FP10 fixes this issue. hopefully this helps some, Dunc -- Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:53:50 -0700 From: Steven Sacks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Flashcoders] BUG: channel.position doesn't work with mp3s below 128kbps To: [EMAIL PROTECTED],Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Man I just keep finding more and more bugs with Sound. This one is actually really bad because it has no workaround, unlike the others. If you have an mp3 file that is less than 128kbps and you get its channel.position at a particular point in time and try to play from that position it jumps ahead in the file. The amount it jumps ahead is based on how far away it is from 128kbps (a 56kbps file will jump more than a 64kbps one). But wait, it gets worse. Even though it has jumped ahead in the track, the channel.position returns where it's supposed to be, not where it actually is!! That's right!! channel.position says it's at 5000ms but it's actually somewhere around 8000ms, etc. and so on. I'm updating the position in a TextField in an ENTER_FRAME listener. Wow. I mean, just, wow. 128kbps and up works just fine. Anything less and you've got a bug. I've discovered so many bugs in the Sound class in the last 12 hours, it's kind of disheartening. I'm losing faith in the Flash player team and in Adobe for letting this kind of stuff get through QA. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] BUG: channel.position doesn't work with mp3s
Very Interesting, thanks for the explanation Kerry... I'll admit I know very little about the this subject, I just pump out the files in a format that sounds acceptable, for me an mp3 with a sample rate of 22khz would exhibit the behavior within the bug report, FP9 and above ( have not tested in 10 yet ), whereas creating an mp3 file with a sample rate of 44khz worked perfectly. It's strange indeed. Again knowing very little about this subject one of the comments in that bug report noted by a Mr. John McGucken is that this also happens with Microsoft Visual Studio, and as he put it, and this is only his best guess: Microsoft Visual studio shows the exact same issue! Therefore, I would guess that the Flash Player is built using components from Visual studio (I.E. The MP3 play back and syncing). More concerning this would indicate that the issue actually lies with Microsoft and the Flash Player is exhibiting this abnormal as a result of this. Thanks again for the informative post.

It talks about 22 kHz mp3's, 11 kHz, and 48 kHz (?). Talking about kHz in mp3 files doesn't make sense, so I've never quite understood the bug. Let me explain--forgive me if this gets technical, but I've been involved in mp3 since the early 90s, when it came out of MIT labs, and before it was called mp3. When you create an mp3 file, you take some source audio and compress it, squeezing out sounds that can't be heard by the human ear. The lower the bit rate, the more sounds are squeezed out, including sounds you _can_ hear, until you get telephone-quality audio at the low end. But this has nothing to do with kHz, unless you are talking about the sampling rate of the source file, typically 44.1, 22, or 11 kHz. The sampling rate of the source file has a lot to do with the quality of the audio, much as the bit rate does in an mp3. A young person's ear can hear sounds up to about 20 kHz. For technical reasons I won't go into, digital audio sampling can record sounds up to half the sampling rate. That is, a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz (CD-quality audio) can reproduce sounds up to 22.05 kHz--a little beyond the hearing of a youngster (our ability to hear the high frequencies drops off as we age). A sampling rate of 22.05 kHz can reproduce sounds up to 11.025 kHz, which is good enough for ambient music. 11.025 kHz sampling rate is good enough for most speech--some of the sibilants we produce may go higher than 5 kHz, but speech is still reasonable quality at that rate. Now, you take an aiff, wave, or Red Book file at one of those sample rates, and run it through an mp3 compressor. Even at the highest bit rates, you will lose some sounds. It might just be the breathing of the audience, the quiet turning of a page by a violinist, or some of the highest overtones of the cymbal or snare, but, even with 44.1 source at the highest bit rate, you lose some sound. Mp3 is a lossy compression, so talking about kHz in the context of mp3 audio is meaningless. So, I have never quite understood that bug.

Re: [Flashcoders] Jagged tweening images

Re: [Flashcoders] Slow Audio on Mac, but not PC??
Hi Jay, If it's set to 'event' it will play pretty much independant of the timeline and if your machine is beefy enough to keep up with the animations while it's playing you probably wouldn't have noticed it. if you set it to 'stream' it will play at your movies framerate and skip frames to keep up with the audio if it has to, if the animations are too much. if you have it set to event now and switch it to stream you'll probably have to move some keyframes around to sync everything back up. the 'event / stream' settings are in the properties tab. click the first keyframe where the audio is, check to see if it's set to 'stream' or 'event' under the 'sync' option. I'm not sure what it defaults to, i vaguely remember it defaulting to 'event'. if this is in fact the issue your experiencing, you'll just have a little extra work on your hands moving some stuff around to sync up. hope this helps, Dunc On 6/18/07, Jay Carlson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dunc, hey, the audio has just been dropped into the frames where I want it to start (event?)...should I change that to be brought in dynamically?

bunch of threads in the archives about this scenario but they can be
difficult to find. Brian Lesser has some really good information on his
site:
http://echo.ryerson.ca/textPublisher/index.html
/**
* This function is assigned to the playing stream onStatus in place
* of the default onStatus handler above.
* It writes all info.code messages to the text window as well
* but also detects when the stream ends and
* changes the button back to Play and closes the stream.
* A stream has ended when two things happen in order:
* 1. NetStream.Play.Stop, followed by
* 2. NetStream.Buffer.Empty
*/
NetStreamPlay_onStatus = function(info){
writeln(NetStream.onStatus info.code: + info.code);
if (info.code == NetStream.Play.Stop){
this.seenStop = true;
}
else if (info.code == NetStream.Buffer.Empty this.seenStop){
this.close();
play_btn.setLabel(Play);
publish_btn.setEnabled(true);
this.seenStop = false;
}
else if (info.code == NetStream.Play.Start){
this.seenStop = false;
}
}
Hank Williams takes a different approach:

if you have set a buffer for the video, the first approach doesn't always

I dug up this old flashcomm post from Brandon Krakowsky in case it's any
use:
I noticed that as well. I've never had good luck with
NetStream.Play.Stop. I think part of the problem is that
some FLVs never get to the very end of the file - maybe .5
seconds before the end.
The other part of the problem might be the encoder you're
using. Flash 8 Encoder vs. Riva vs. Flix.
I avoid the whole thing by monitoring the playhead inside of
a setInterval or onEnterFrame, and comparing it to the
totalTime. This way, I never have to worry about those
objects not firing. Once again, I DO run into the problem
where the playhead doesn't get all the way to the end, so
tend to look for the playhead to be .5 seconds from the end,
or more. Seems to do the trick everytime. Of course, if you
can, make sure the videos have a little extra something at
the end so they don't get cut off.

Sorry, it's bee a while since I wrote that script, so I forgot to

that movie_flv in my code is an AS2 Video Playback component that has
the

the
components panel. You might want to try theVideo.playheadTimeinstead,
but
if that doesn't work, you could try using this component instead. Or
better
yet, if you're using Flash 8, try the new video component that Muzak
mentioned (Flv Playback) which has a complete event.

Re: [Flashcoders] scrollable dynamic text field
Hi Doug, I would recommend looking up and using scrollRect especially if there is a chance you will be scrolling through large amounts of text. i recall there being a nice scrolling example on ifbin (free and open now), created by guy watson, if i'm not mistaken. It involved scrollRect and filters... http://www.ifbin.com/ hope this helps some, Dunc On 10/17/06, Doug Tangren [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can I here some opinions on what all of your experiences have been with creating scrolling dynamic text fields and what are the suggested best techniques that don't involve using the default flash ui scrollbar?

[Flashcoders] FileReference + upload + larger files
Hello all, I'm running into a peculiar problem with the FileReference class and i've seen this problem crop up spurratically in my searches but can't find any definitive information on it. I'm inconsistently getting a script is causing Flash to run slowly dialog, if i choose not to cancel the script the upload continues, the dialog will come back, rinse repeat. But it's very inconsistent, this happens maybe 8 out of 10, at different points within the upload. It's not an IO, security or http error, all server settings are proper, files have rights, php is set to well over 500MB. It's just strange as it actually does go through sometimes. I've come across the technote on adobe's site which discusses the reasons why you might get this error and that confuses me even more since this doesn't happen consistently. I'm not doing anything fancy, no intervals, enterframes, for or while loops etc, just using the onProgress event to scale a bar for the users reference. These files aren't massive and i'm well below the suggested 100MB limit, files tested range from 30-50MB. This occurs on mac pc, firefox, safari, ie. Also using the latest Flash player, haven't tried in 8 yet. Also only uploading 1 file at a time not multiples using the FileReferenceList. Small files, 1-5MB go through without a hitch. Has anyone experienced this? I'm guessing there is no way around this other than modifying the timeout time within the swf using Buraks SWF ScriptLimits Injector but I'm hesitatnt to try that.

Re: [Flashcoders] ::dk:: Best way to check if data is done loading for scroll bars
One thing you can try is to give your image an id so it's seen as a MovieClip within the textfield, then you can run a checker to see when it's loaded then redraw the scrollbar... img id='mcID' src='stuff.jpg' hspace='10' vspace='5' align='left' so to access it you would path: textfieldname.mcID. hope this helps some, Dunc On 9/20/06, Bbt Lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gustavo Teider - Adobe Flash Developer wrote: use setScrollTarget scrollbar.setScrollTarget(your_textfield); is this ?

I want to distort the image by repositioning the corner points of the photograph so that the interior rectangle is precisely positioned and sized. 1) I know the size of the photo, 2) I know the coordinates of the rectangle's corners in the photo 3) I know the coordinates where I want the rectangle's corners to be after the transformation. I need to know the new coordinates of the photo's corners to achieve #3. I don't know if you got the offlist answer you asked for, but it's probably a question worth answering on-list too. Basically what you need to do is to invert a transformation matrix. So you need to start by constructing the matrix M used to transform the original rectangle R = (0,-H,W,0) to the distorted rectangle: that is (using homogeneous coordinates (the kind used in Flash's own Matrix object)), M maps (0,0,1) to (x1,y1,1), (0,-H,1) to (x2,y2,1), (W,-H,1) to (x3,y3,1) and (W,0,1) to (x4,y4,1). This matrix *ought* to be given by: ( (x1-x2)/H (x4-x1)/W x1) ( (y1-y2)/H (y4-y1)/W y1) ( 0 0 1 ) I say 'ought' because if your camera has a non-parallel distortion, this matrix may fail to correctly transform the fourth point to (x3,y3,1). If that's true, there's no matrix that will work (all matrix transformations are affine, meaning they transform parallel lines into parallel lines). Once you have this matrix M, you can invert it to get M'(If you can't do that, I can explain how) and apply M' to the corners of your image to get your un-transformed rectangle.

Re: [Flashcoders] server-side convert to flv
Hi Mark, I recently setup ffmpeg on a shared host, i use Dreamhost, i believe it's Debian. It took me a couple days to track down all the information and quite a few compiles, i won't tell you how many, before i got it right. I'm also not really strong in this department either though so that might attribute to the amount of times i had to compile everything.

I'm having a difficult time getting everything to work properly in a windows environment using apache but i haven't really had much of a chance to really dig in.

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV Encoders
Hi, I'm using Flix Pro and have no complaints so far, the interface isn't as pretty as squeeze, it kind of reminds me of cleaner XL. I probably won't go back to Sorenson Squeeze, throughout the dot updates for Squeeze 4 there were still various bugs that were never fixed although identified and acknowledged. These may be fixed now in 4.3 although i wouldn't know. Sorenson has support forums which were helpful in finding other people who had issues. Looks like flix now has support forums also. I've only had a couple Flix support issues and those dealt with install key issues being used more than once due to the fact they had released dot updates and were keeping score of how many times you had installed it but not taking into account they were releasing updates to the program. These support issues were cleared up the same day i sent the request plus they have a feature on their website now which will allow you to reset the install quota manually. I believe both have demo versions available, you might want to install them both and see which one feels right for you, they both basically do the same thing and i think in the end Flix Pro might be cheaper... Hope this helps some... Dunc On 1/27/06, Karthik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 27/01/06, John Giotta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've heard mixed feelings about all the products.

Re: [Flashcoders] xml whitespace problem
you could try setting condenseWhite = true on the textfield that should get rid of the whitespace due to the linebreaks. dunc On 1/24/06, david kraftsow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i thought that could be the case too.. but then i took the CDATA brackets completely out but left the text.. so its just a floating text node now. it still does the same thing.. =( Helen Triolo wrote: Everything within a CDATA is read exactly as is, I believe -- that's the point of using it. whitespace is the whitespace between tags, not within a CDATA text node, so ignoreWhite shouldn't affect it.

Hi,
I have a file that is loading .flv files dynamically and playing them
back via a mediaDisplay component. The swf is packaged for flash player
7.
Everything works fine except when run on a mac from a cd drive or
network drive (it is fine from a local drive, eg desktop) when flash
player 7 is installed. If the player is upgraded to flash player 8 the
problem is resolved.
Any ideas as to why this might be happening under flash player 7 and not
8. And a fix?
This is the code I'm using to load flv:
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
netStream.onStatus = function(infoObject) {
status_txt.text += Status (NetStream): + newline;
status_txt.text += Level: + infoObject.level + newline;
status_txt.text += Code: + infoObject.code + newline;
};
main_movie.attachVideo(netStream);
netStream.setBufferTime(5);
videoToLoad = ../video/+videoFileArray[videoNum];
netStream.play(videoToLoad);
