[Flashcoders] Re: Blur effect via action scripting
you don't even need a tween package for this (altho they sure are useful things). read about BitmapData, BlurFilter, and "Repeating actions using loops" in the Flash Help. gg > > > OOoops!!!

[Flashcoders] Exporting alpha channel video from flash
sorry if i posted this before, i asked this question a couple of days ago but never saw it come back in the digest, and it doesn't show up in the archives search. although it did seem someone else recently asked nearly the same question and nobody really knew. so let's try again. i have some animated icons in flash that need to make it into either after effects or avid. in Export Movie i can select QuickTime Video and in the Format box select "32-bit Color (alpha channel)". however, when Importing Footage into After Effects, no matter how i Interpret Footage the swf comes in opaque. so far exporting a .png sequence works, but that is clunky. yes, i know about wmode, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with this. does anybody know the trick? thanks, glenn grant ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8
hi gustavo,
your first problem is that you have a gotoAndPlay loop. that means that
every time you go back to frame 1 you are re-creating your now variable, so
it is never going to have a chance to get bigger. secondly, the timer does
need to be updated & checked inside your onEnterFrame (i used a
setInterval), so that it can be compared with your later variable. try this:
stop();
var startTime:Number = getTimer()/1000;
var later:Number = 20;
var timeCheck:Number = setInterval(checkTime, 100);
function checkTime(){
var currentTime:Number = getTimer()/1000;
var elapsedTime:Number = currentTime - startTime;
if(elapsedTime >= later){
trace("llegamos");
clearInterval(timeCheck);
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Controlling flv
what i do for this is have my flv player inside a movie clip. make a new BitmapData. you can put in a cuePoint on the frame of the flv you want. when the movie gets to the cuePoint, pause it. have the BitmapData draw the movieclip. then fade the BitmapData to black. this also works well for on the fly transitions between 2 flvs, using 2 BitmapDatas and x-fading them. good luck, glenn grant > > On 3/12/07, Adrian MacTaggart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I'm working with Flash 8 and I've imported an flv to the stage and set > > it as a progressive download, using a preset skin to control the video. > > This has created a Flash Video component on the stage. > > > > This works fine but the clip ends abruptly before returning to the > > start. > > I'd like to pause on the last frame of the video before fading to black > > over a few seconds.

[Flashcoders] LoadVars.send vs. LoadVars.sendAndLoad
I use .sendAndLoad to load a shopping cart so it will not pop a new browser
window each time the user adds an item. this works fine locally, but online
the items are not being added to the cart. if i use .send instead of
.sendAndLoad everything works fine except for the aforementioned launching
of browser every time. i read in flash's documentation that .sendAndLoad has
a different security protocol than .send, so i have tried
System.security.allowDomain("thedomain.com"); in the first line, which
doesn't seem to be making a difference. any suggestions?

[Flashcoders] flash paypal shopping cart security
i am trying to use the paypal cart with flash 8. my code looks like this:
System.security.allowDomain("paypal.com");
var myLoadVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var cartVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
function loadCart(){
myLoadVars.bn = "PP-ShopCartBF";
myLoadVars.lc = "US";
myLoadVars.currency_code = "USD";
myLoadVars.no_note = "1";
myLoadVars.no_shipping = "2";
myLoadVars.amount = amount;
myLoadVars.item_name = item_name;
myLoadVars.business = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
myLoadVars.cmd = "_cart";
myLoadVars.add = "1";
//myLoadVars.send("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr";, "_blank",
"POST");
myLoadVars.sendAndLoad("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr";, cartVars,
"POST");
}
function viewCart(){
cartVars.display = "1";
cartVars.business = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
cartVars.cmd = "_cart";
cartVars.send("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr";, "_blank",
"POST");
}
I use .sendAndLoad to load the cart so it will not pop a new browser window
