Re: [Flashcoders] Load centered images in movie clip - Heeelp!
The problem lies in loadMovie. Locally, the picture is already loaded, so when you ask for the pic properties, the computer can give it to you already. Online, however, you'll be downloading the picture while trying to find out its dimensions. Use MovieClipLoader, and use the listener onLoadInit. In that listener you can put the code to center your image, resize it, etc. Goodluck, -- Ramon Miguel M.

[Flashcoders] Flash window coming out small on some IE browsers
Hey guys, This is really strange, and is kinda OT coz it's not actionscript related. It's more about the Flash Player Detection Kit. http://test.quirkworks.net/skin/ comes out small only in some IE browsers (15% of the people i've asked), and I can't seem to figure out why. If you see the source code of the site I'm using the detection kit Macromedia made. Client is waiting for the fix and.. gah.. I can't seem to find a fix! Problem is that it works fine in all the computers here in the office. If it comes out small (window looks like it shrank), what is ur IE version and OS? Thank you, -- Ramon Miguel M.

Re: [Flashcoders] setInterval interfering with Sound

Re: [Flashcoders] my old problem... with big loads of swf's
I don't believe there is any way to fix this - just like if you launch Photoshop while playing an animation, it's gonna stutter. I wanted to do something like this before. I had to search through a large XML, and I didn't want the computer to freeze while the search took place because the search took about 5 seconds. I asked around and came to a conclusion that Flash hogs all the resources of a computer to do a certain task, and releases it only after it's done. To fix this it would be better if you further break down the swfs to smaller files so it only loads when it needs to.

I also tried a preloader technique in the swf that is being loaded with two scenes, but the animation of the first scene also is frozen until the complete load is made. The Cause: I think the cause of the problem has the following reason... When i load in remote (flash web projects), there is a portion of memo/processor free. So i can make anything during this time.

It wouldn't surprise me if it were the same for the dynamically loading assets, which would only be an issue when you have large files.

Re: [Flashcoders] 2 Issues Optimizing JPGs and Memory Problem?
Hi Loren, On 1/13/06, Loren R. Elks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK. Here's the first one. I know if you try to compress an already compressed image (like a jpg), that artifacts will result. So, when using jpgs in Flash, should you first optimize as much as possible in Photoshop then place in Flash and compress more, or keep the image at it's original resolution and just let Flash handle the compression by adjusting the JPEG Quality slider under SWF - Publish Settings? When you choose Flash's compression settings, it renders it when you publish it AFAIK - so it doesn't really matter (swf-wise) where you do the optimization (however, it affects the publish time). The bigger the resolution the more it takes for Flash to render it. I learned that jpegs with high resolutions (huge dimensions), and low quality (high compression settings) more of than not come up with the best quality/file size ratio. If you want, you can play around with this class I wrote that forces an object to stay as a bitmap (read http://www.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=659163 for more details). That way, you can load a jpg with large res, cache it as a bitmap so that when Flash handles it, it handles it as a small picture. Number two. I'm working on a small simulation (the FLA file is about 2.5MB). There is no video or audio used. When I publish, it takes a long time for the Publishing progress bar to move. When I look at my Task Manager in Windows, it tacks out at 100% and it shows Flash.exe is using ~172MB of memory! What do you think is the problem (Flash, computer memory)? That's probably some corruption in the Flash file. It shouldn't take long to move, unless your computer is slow. If it's like this with this file only, try copying all frames and pasting it in a few FLA. Thanks, Loren Goodluck, -- Ramon Miguel M.

Re: [Flashcoders] priority for downloading content
Question #1: I'd like to set some kind of priority for content, sound etc. so if, say, there's a need to download important content, less important content won't start loading? Note: I know about queues, but need smth different. Question #2: Is there a way to stop downloading (of less important) content and start again later? Thanks in advance. I made this SupreLoader class that loads different files that are listed down in an xml. It's relies on the fact that the user's computer will cache it, so when the user actually requests that file, it needn't be downloaded anymore. It can be told to halt() when the downloading should be stopped (like you need to download something more imp't). However, telling it to stop for everything you want to prioritize, then telling it to continue when ur done downloading is rather tedious. Furthermore, you cannot stop a download that has already started (save for closing the flash movie) - so the SupreLoader will only not continue downloading the next item in the queue. I tried to make it automatic, but unfortunately, there is no way to find out if you wish to remain within Flash. Outside of Flash, I wouldn't know. -- Ramon Miguel M.

That might work. But it would be very bloody and almost not worth it. I have the feeling that deleting the sound object won't yeild the result you want. But try it, I might be wrong.

Re: [Flashcoders] Keypoints in a .mp3
If you want to know the length of the song (because duration only
gives you how much has been downloaded), you can put it into the TLEN
of the ID3 V2 tag. You can use onID3 of the sound object to find out
when the ID3 tags have been downloaded. Please note that if you have
ID3 V2 and ID3 V1, onID3 will be called twice. ID3 V2 is at the start
of the song. So the first onID3 will be ID3 V2. ID3 V1 is at the end
of the song.

the music has elapsed so that at certain points it will display
different info on the screen.
Like when the music reach 2 minutes it will show the song artist, when
it reaches 4'38'' it will show another info
Is it possible ?
How should I do something like this ?
TIA
Grillo

[Flashcoders] help! class in external swf retains its interval even after close
Hey everone, I have a movie that uses loadClip to load an external swf to, let's say, mcBlank. That external swf uses a class that furthermore uses several other classes. One of those classes has intervals that continually dispatch an event. Now, to close that popped up window, I 1) unloadClip mcBlank, then 2) removeMovie the host movieclip. When I load the movieclip again, the event is still being dispatched. How do I solve this? I basically have a VideoPlayer that has internal classes that dispatch onPlaying so that the progress bar gets updated. When I close the movie then load it again, the progress bar is still moving..

Re: [Flashcoders] help! class in external swf retains its interval even after close
I see, so intervals are located, in some sense, in the root clip?

Re: [Flashcoders] help! class in external swf retains its interval even after close
great thanks everyone! I will read up on that interval manager. it should help. I didn't like the solution (sometimes i get anal as a programmer) but I just put a manual clearInterval when the button close is pressed. It shouldn't be the case, but, oh well.

Re: [Flashcoders] external jpg resize script
Hi,
You can resize the stage real time? I wasn't aware of that. If you
mean you want to resize the picture when it loads to whatever the
stage is, use MovieClipLoader.
Read up on it, and pay particular attention to onLoadInit - that's
where you put your resize code.

Hello,
I'm probably missing something very simple here. I would like to load an
external jpg into a movieclip. When the user resizes the stage, the width
and height of the jpg match that of the stage. The below script does not
seem to be working. I can't seem to figure out what's missing. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
//SET STAGE PROPERTIES
Stage.showMenu = false;
Stage.scaleMode = noScale;
Stage.align = LT;
//RESIZE EXTERNAL JPG
var tmp:MovieClip;
tmp = this.createEmptyMovieClip(bgExpand_mc, 1);
tmp.loadMovie(images/background/bg_image1.jpg);
tmp.onResize = function(){
this._width = Stage.width;
this._height = Stage.height;
}
Stage.addListener(tmp);

Re: [Flashcoders] XML question
use Delegate

Hey all,
here's the code i'm working with:
var main:XML = new XML();
main.ignoreWhite =true;
main.onLoad =function(success:Boolean){
if (success) {
var developers:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
var siteUrl:Array = new Array();
var stanceUrl:Array = new Array();
var introUrl = new Array();
for (var i=0; idevelopers.length; i++){
siteUrl.push(developers[i].attributes.site );
stanceUrl.push(developers[i].attributes.stance);
introUrl.push(developers[i].attributes.intro);
}
}
else{ trace(xml not connected);}
}
main.load(main.xml);
The problem:
Why can't access the arrays out side the onload function? I want the onload
to just populate the arrays, so i can use their contents somewhere else.
Is this an xml thing or am i doing something wrong. If i trace any of the
arrays out side the onLoad function i get undefined.
Fyi ~ i've already tried making the arrays global, no go that way.

[Flashcoders] xml, atomic values, special chars
Hey everyone, How do I properly render text that was pulled from an atomic value? For example, here's the node: a attrib=name1This is the atomic value.

Still doesn't work :o I'm not putting it in a textfield yet tho; just tracing it for now.

I was able to fix it; but I see now what was wrong. For the reference of others: Make sure you call the atomic data by node.childNodes[0].nodeValue I traced out node.childNodes[0] directly - that's why it wasn't tracing properly.

Re: [Flashcoders] Change object in xpath
ttTotal is an array though. But yes, if you get an elements, let's say ttTotaltt[0], you can treat that as if it were an XML file and use it further on other queries.
