[Flashcoders] JavaFX released
Curious to what others think... Interesting that it can play flvs out of the box. I haven't seen the feature in action but supposedly you can drag applications from the browser to the desktop. The free NetBeans IDE is a nice touch too. http://www.javafx.com/samples/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Stream Live from File

Re: [Flashcoders] how many coders here actually have a degree related to computer science?
A huge portion of getting a decent job or freelance work is getting your name out there and building experience by finishing projects. College was a great place for me to meet people with connections in the field. I dropped out when one of the adjunct professors hired me, that lead to a job at an agency, more freelance work, relevant experience, etc. I eventually finished the degree years later (mostly just to do it). So yeah, send out the portfolios and see what happens. People should let you know what they are looking for. Often it takes time so I wouldn't drop out without having something concrete to go on.

The only bug with NetStream that I know of is if you're spamming it with
new streams too quickly. The solution is to throttle the requests.
A safe time to wait between changing the streams is 250ms.
It's really simple to write a queueing system that does this. You just
overwrite the same variable and reset the timer.
var currentStream:String;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(250, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerEvent);
function queueNewStream(value:String):void
{
currentStream = value;
timer.reset();
timer.start();
}

Video codec ID: 4 (which means it's On2 VP6) Video datarate: 400 kbits/s The main issue that's likely causing the stuttering is the constant motion throught the frame area. In my own video work I've been able to reduce that by bumping up the keyframe rate, but that of course will increase the file size and probably the workload on someone's CPU when it's played. I'd experiment with reducing the frame rate to something like 15 fps, give it a keyframe rate of one every 5 frames, convert the audio to mono and try tweaking the datarates of the video and the audio to get a good balance of visual quality and CPU bandwidth use. If your encoder software lets you set how many passes it makes during video encoding you can set it to use two passes, which can improve visual quality at lower video datarates.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: public override function set x
i did forget the :void and that solved it - thanks for looking

hello :)
In the playerglobal.swc you can find the DisplayObject.x declaration :
public function set x(value:Number):void;
You must keep the same argument name and the same return type in your
override :
public override function set x(value:Number):void
{
super.x = value ;
// custom
}
In your code you forget the :void ?
EKA+ :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Web Cam question
for cameras (mac compatible) that don't have their own web server EvoCam is
pretty amazing

On Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 2:15 PM, Rich Shupe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Dave, are you asking for a way to do that entirely external to Flash? That
is, Flash and BitmapData can grab stills from a video stream very easily. I
am assuming you are asking about something else.
However, if that's all you need, here is a quick example. You may be able
to
do away with Glimpse altogether.
var vid:Video = new Video();
addChild(vid);
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
vid.attachCamera(cam);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, captureCamera, false, 0, true);
function captureCamera(evt:MouseEvent): void {
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(vid.width, vid.height);
bmd.draw(vid)
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd);
bmp.x = vid.width;
addChild(bmp);
}
There are some things to think about, though.
1) Flash must be able to see the camera. Drivers may be an issue.
2) Sometimes, only one application can have access to the camera. Running
Glimpse at the same time as Flash may prevent Flash access. For example, on
my Mac, Flash can only get a garbled still if iChat has the camera already.
3) To answer your other question, just about any webcam will work in Flash.
Just find the most current, reliable-name (for ongoing support), feature
vs.
price (pan, tilt, etc.) camera you like. A generalization, perhaps, but
there's less of a compatibility issue than you might think.

They supply a 'Glimpse' application that is somewhat what I need, but I

Anyone have any experience with this camera or can maybe point me in the

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple query strings in a single URL
I think
FlashVars, 'whichSection=' +
querySt('page'),'loggedin='+querySt('login'));
needs to be
FlashVars, 'whichSection=' +
querySt('page')+'loggedin='+querySt('login');
You may want to check out SWFObject 1.5 that would make this much more
readable ie:
var so = new SWFObject(your.swf, swfID, 100, 100, 8, #ff);
so.addVariable(whichSection, querySt(page));
so.addVariable(loggedin, querySt(login));
it also has a function that grabs params from the url

I pass that info into my program with FlashVars using:

type=text/javascript/script
script type=text/javascript
function querySt(ji) {
hu = window.location.search.substring(1);
gy = hu.split();

/script
snippet from the Flash swf embed
FlashVars, 'whichSection=' + querySt('page'));
end snippet

So querySt parses the value of 2 and passes it into my whichsection just
fine.
Now I have to have two things passed in:
I.e. Index.html?page=2login=1
Can FlashVars handle this??
I tried:
FlashVars, 'whichSection=' + querySt('page'),'loggedin=' +
querySt('login'));
But loggedin is NOT getting picked up inside of Flash.
Can Flash handle multiple query strings being passed into itself?
Did I explain this well enough?

Re: [Flashcoders] addCuePoint - AS2
I don't think cuepoints are anything inherit to Flash video/NetStream class but just information that is injected in the flv metadata during encoding. If you create an array to hold cuepoints as objects and track them with an interval watching NetStream.time you should be able to create the same effect. You could also dig into the mx.video.FLVPlayback and mx.video.CuePointManager classes to see how Macromedia did it.

use a stop(), or else your app will flash indefinetely. While I was
testing it inside Flash, the document class extended Sprite and everything
worked. But, when I tryed the real application (installing the AIR file),
it

I don't think you need to create an instance of your Document Class.
Something is wrong in your code or your .fla
Put a stop() in the first frame of you app, and give a feedback for us.
good luck,

developing in AIR. It only works in an actionscript 3.0 application.
Allright fine, I could manage in calling the class from the first frame
var Application:Amlak = new Amlak();
this way...
And note that I have a movieClip in the Fla library which has a Class

AmlakPanel, to be added to the stage later on runtime.
in the Amlak.as class :
package {

public class Amlak extends Sprite {
public function Amlak():void {

var a = new AmlakPanel();

[Flashcoders] AS3 Coding Conventions Question
This is a pretty nice doc and I agree/use most of these while doing as3 development. The use of ALL_CAPS constants makes sense to me but I am not understanding what the purpose would be to not make the variable be the same as the value. For instance, this is what Adobe says and does from: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Coding+Conventions -- Constant names Use all uppercase letters with underscores between words: OFF, DEFAULT_WIDTH . The words in the identifier must match the words in the constant value if it is a String: public static const FOO_BAR:String = fooBar; -- For me it makes more sense and helps consistency to make it: public static const FOO_BAR:String = FOO_BAR; Anyone have a defense to Adobe's position? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

created?
Here is the function where I create movie clips from the library by
using information from an XML. All the clips have Column as their base
class):
public function createColumns( _xml:XML ):void
{
for each( var column:XML in _xml.columns.* )
{
var clip:Column;
switch( column.name.toString() )
{
case 'pokerRoom':
clip = new PokerRoom();
break;
case 'us':
clip = new Us();
break;
case 'bonus':
clip = new Bonus();
break;
case 'roomReviews':
clip = new ReadReview();
break;
case 'getBonus':
clip = new Button();
break;
}
clip.x = column.x;
clip.y = column.y;
addChild( clip );
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] [AS3] how to tell Loader on which clip you are going to load?
Since myClip doesn't exist shouldn't you just deal with the loader?
On Jan 26, 2008 4:57 AM, Leonardo Scattola - New Vision srl
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hello everyone!
I wrote a little class extending the AS3 Loader class.
In my new loader I've added a reference to the clip to which attach my
content, so that I can write
myLoader.loadImage(url, clip:MovieClip)
where loadImage is a static method; in an ideal world myLoader will
always load an image, and will fire an Event.INIT when the image has
been loaded; I have defined a listener for this event, like this:
function onLoadSuccessful(myEvent:Event) {
trace(myEvent.target.loader.myClip);
}
where myEvent.target is the loaderInfo property in my event, and
myEvent.target.loader is an instance of the myLoader object;
myEvent.target.loader.myClip will thus be the reference to the clip on
which I will attach my image.
The problem is: when the image doesn't exist, I would listen for an
IOError. In this case, I have defined another listener:
function onLoadError(myEvent:IOEvent) {
trace(myEvent.target.loader.myClip);
}
But this raises an exception if the image fails to load (because the
file doesn't exist), and tells me that the loader is not accessible
because the event was fired too early to access the loaderInfo property.
How can I access the myClip property in the onLoadError event?
Thanks in advance.

pause(false) ist AS2, Steven?
AS3/FlexBuilder doesn't allow me to have parameters for ns.pause().
Sure, we talk about flv from file and ns.play(urlToFile).
I changed ns.bufferTime to a higher value, now.
That's everything I changed lately, and waiting for metadata seems to
become faster (can't explain). I know, that it'll take time to load
the header/metadata portion of a flv, Steven, but it felt to long.
Now, with bigger buffer time (sounds crazy, I know) it is much faster.
I'll try the ByteArray idea...

Glen,
Unfortunately, I discovered a bug with the code I posted. The
NetStream.Buffer.Flush does not fire if the NetStream is paused. You
have to check to see if the ns.bytesLoaded == ns.bytesTotal in the
onProgress.
Matthias,
I have never had any unwanted sound behavior when I use:
ns.play(src);
ns.pause(true);
If you are hearing an audio blip, it's simple to fix by applying a
SoundTransform with the volume set to 0 before you play/pause the
NetStream.
var transform:SoundTransform = ns.soundTransform;
transform.volume = 0;
ns.soundTransform = transform;
ns.play(src);
ns.pause(true);
For the sake of this discussion, I'm going to assume we're talking
about
progressive downloads as opposed to FLVs streamed from FMS.
You cannot attach a single NetStream to multiple Video instances.
If you fully load an FLV and caching is turned on (never a guarantee,
but likely) then the FLV will load instantly for the next NetStream
that
loads it. HOWEVER, if it is not cached and you start a second
NetStream
to load the same FLV before it is finished loading, it will load the
entire file again since it's technically not cached according to the
browser.
I disagree that waiting for metadata is really ugly. How is any
client, Flash or otherwise, supposed to know anything about a file
it's
loading before it starts loading it? The only way it could is if you
hard-code it ahead of time because you know what it is.
If you're waiting for Flash to determine it dynamically, it has to
access the file to get the header information (metadata) that
describes
the FLV. Because you can play/pause, the metadata can come before you
even addChild() the video to the display stack.
I don't see how any of this could be considered really ugly but if
you
do end up writing a psychic script that can determine a file's header
data without ever accessing the file, be sure to let us know. ;)
The ByteArray idea might work, I've never tried it, and it would
probably take you anywhere from 5-15 minutes to try it out. I'm not
sure what benefit it would provide you other than guaranteeing that it
would be stored in memory if browser cache was turned off. At best,
you
might get a few milliseconds faster start-up loading from a ByteArray
vs
from cache.

I had some issues trying to find the ant tasks as I was looking for it under the run button menu but once I realized the external tools was only connected through the run menu I got it to work. Thanks for this, I'd wish I had found it earlier this year when I finally went all over to the Mac/Eclipse/FDT. There is a lot of good info up there.

What I do is have Eclipse/FDT/Flex open in one space (assuming OS X), and Flash with my fla in another and simply do a good old fashioned Cmd+Enter (which I map the default ant task keybinding in eclipse). The result is a nice test movie which switches focus/spaces screen from eclipse to flash and does a preview, a simple Cmd+W, Cmd+Tab closes the preview and returns me to where I left off in Eclipse.

Re: [Flashcoders] Compile .fla from Flex?
On a Mac so FlashDevelop isn't an option. What I am looking to do is hit the run button from inside Eclipse/Flex Builder have it jump over to Flash and compile. It's a minor inconvenience when compared to editing ActionScript in the Flash Editor but I was hoping someone had built a bridge somehow.

[Flashcoders] Re: IE6 problem with SWFAddress?
I have ran into this nightmare and am still not sure what causes it. Just as I thought I had it beat it I would do a as2js call and the swf would disappear in IE. Something else I have seen is Firefox freeze up the swf. If I had to retroubleshoot it again I would look for this: -Are you using a getURL(javascript:jsFunction()) type call? I have had your problem mixing these in with ExternalInterface. I would first try switching getURL javascript calls to ExternalInterface. Another solution I have heard of is using setTimeout on the Javascript side to delay opening the window for a second I ended up hacking up SwfAddress and moving it off ExternalInterface to the SwfObject/Javascript/ASGateway here: http://blog.deconcept.com/code/intkit/ This has been my most solid in my testing (and lets SwfAdress work with Flash 7) Good luck. ___ 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

[Flashcoders] Re: flash on osx thru parallels/bootcamp
I do some overly complicated worflow just to keep using SEPY. It goes like this. Turn windows sharing on the the mac. Mount that share as a drive in Windows. I put all my classes here. I don't have the problem of the IDE not seeing the classes doing it this way. Have Flash open on the Mac with all the correct fonts for the project. I edit all my classes in SEPY/PC and hop over to the mac to compile. VirtueDesktop is great for this, allowing me to switch back and forth between platforms running fullscreen: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16530 Sharepoints is great for setting up multiple shares on the mac: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12512 I use a similiar process to publish to the mac's Sites folder allowing me to test through a browser on both the mac and pc. ___ 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
[Flashcoders] Re: flash on osx thru parallels/bootcamp
I have. I tried FlashDevelop a while back and am planning on giving it another go and with the AS3 stuff I have just seen. I like how Sepy works with native .flp files and had versions on both the mac and pc. (I also have a horrible addiction to it's autoformatting.) After hearing quite a bit about it I got TextMate this weekend and started to set it up. Looks very clean and good replacement for BBEdit but I was suprised with it that it didn't have ftp support built in (without transmit). I work on multiple machines and platforms and am dying for a consistent editor between them. Flex/Eclipse looks like it has all I want but it will probably be another year before I will be able to be 100% over to AS3. ___ 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
