For an old project I did this 'Gradient Tween Editor' which might be a
good
starting point for what you want to do:
http://motiondraw.com/md/as_samples/t/gradientTween/asynchronousTween.ht
ml

Here's an example (on the right-hand side) that tweens from one gradient
to
another over time:
http://motiondraw.com/md/as_samples/t/gradientTween/asynchronousTween.ht
ml
On the left is the same tween, but not over time but from top to bottom
-
the first horizontal, 1 pixel high stripe corresponds with the 'first
frame'
of the tween on the right. The stripe at the bottom corresponds with the
'last frame'.

See the code below!

You could use the alphaTo property of the tween class. It's much easier.

RE: [Flashcoders] problems with dynamic text field autosize property

2006-05-26 Thread Scott Brantley

I think you may be right. If you look at my code it works perfectly. I'm
just pissed that it took something as stupid as getting the height of
the textfield in 3 different variables. It actually works on the 2nd
variable. You see I put all my code in functions. But, I don't use
classes and prototypes and the like. I was thinking maybe it had
something to do with that. Thanks for answering though. I posted the
same question on a couple of forums and got no response at all.

[Flashcoders] problems with dynamic text field autosize property

2006-05-26 Thread Scott Brantley
Hi Everyone,

 

I'm having a problem with the dynamic text field autosize property. The
problem I'm having is that I'm not catching the correct height of the
textfield directly after the textfield is filled with text. In other
words, I create a dynamic textfield and give it a set width and then I
set all the properties (selectable, multiline, wordwrap, embed fonts,
autosize, html etc). Then I fill it with html text and then I get its
height. If you will look at my code below you can see that I have the
variables a, b, and c all set to question._height. Every single time I
test this and trace it in the output window I get a =34, b=92, and c=92
(92 is the correct height of the textfield). Does anyone have an
explanation? The text I'm filling the textfield with is loaded from the
data base way before this code executes. It seems that the code is
faster than the textfield can fill up. Is there anyway to detect when
the textfield has filled and autosized?  

 

test_mc.createTextField("question_txt", 1000, 0, 0, 385, 0);

question = _root.test_mc.question_txt;

question.selectable = false;

question.multiline = true;

question.wordWrap = true;

question.embedFonts = true;

question.autoSize = true;

question.html = true;

//flash is taking too much time rendering out this text

question.htmlText = ""+myHTML+"";

//the following is jerry rigged and needs to be fixed

a = question._height;

trace("a = " + a);

b = question._height;

trace("b = " + b);

c = question._height;

trace("c = " + c);

 

Thanks,

Scott

I'm thinking that you are setting the visibility of the movieclip before
it's instantiated. I'm not certain, it's either this or the movieclip is
set
to be visible at some point after you set it to be invisible.

At this point I can only give you an idea of what could be happening. I
will
check it out if you send me the fla ( you must send it directly to me,
not

RE: [Flashcoders] SeekBarHandle ??? -- still problems

2006-05-24 Thread Scott Brantley

Thanks Elibol for the traceClip function. I ran your function on my
seekbar that is named 'seeker';

It traced back: 
'seeker: _level0.seeker
progress_mc: _level0.seeker.progress_mc'

So it is telling me that the seekbarhandle is named progress_mc (I
guess).

But when I write a piece of code like

_level0.seeker.progress_mc._visible = false;
or
seeker.progress_mc._visible = false;
or
progress_mc._visible = false

It is still visible.

Look for the instance name using the flash debugger. You can also use a
recursive function to trace out all instance names of movieclips.
Something
like this:

function traceClip(mc:MovieClip){
trace(mc._name+': '+mc);
for(var i in mc){
if(mc[i] instanceof MovieClip) arguments.callee(mc[i]);
}
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] How to make a MAC - PC hybrid CD-ROM

Hey everyone,

I have built a CD-ROM deliverable PC (flash) application. The client now
wants to make it a hybrid application that will run on both PC and MAC.
Currently I'm using an AUTORUN.ini file to auto launch the app.exe. How
would I do this for the MAC projector (.hqx) file? Is there anything I
need to be aware of because of the differences MAC OS 9 and MAC OS 10+?

Thanks in advance

RE: [Flashcoders] FLV Playback Issue From Network Path

2006-04-24 Thread Scott Brantley

Yes, we read and tried the livedocs article about using a .cfg file and
that is still no solution for us. The application we are trying to build
will run in a WAN. This means that the .cfg file will have to be
installed on many users' computers.  This is completely out of the
question. 

As far as the player, we are using a version 7 .exe. The client is
limiting us to UNC paths. This is killing the whole deal because it
seems that .flvs and the components and stuff that were built to play
them only work locally (on your computer) or over http. 

We have been researching and experimenting with this problem for a long
time and I don't think there is an answer. Macromedia has screwed us
again.

Regarding Flash 8, I'm sure you've followed the awesome suggestion here
on 
creating a .cfg file:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/w
whelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=1611.html

Since the global security settings won't really mean anything in this
case 
since you are running local, perhaps the .cfg +/- the registry
suggestions 
are ok.

Regarding Flash Player 7, that's f'd up, no clue.  Is it Flash Player 7
SWF 
running in Flash Player 8?

FLV Playback Issue From Network Path





We are developing an application that due to network bandwidth concerns
pulls FLV files from different network paths based on a user.  This
information must be pulled via a UNC path (\\server\folder\file.flv
 )



Using contentPath, .setMedia, & netstream we have tried to make this
work.  Flash 8 shut us out due to the new security model / sandbox
issue.  Now using Flash 7 we have ran into a new issue.  The flv works
correctly as long as only one person is accessing the file.  If another
person opens the application and calls the same flv file it fails to
load.



We have enabled the MIME types on our Windows Server 2003 for the FLV
extension.



We're completely stumped on this one..  as others have obviously been:



http://labs.blitzagency.com/?p=80



This may be a limitation of flash, a bug or a general mystery. We've
thought about diving into the world of third party apps such as Zinc.



Does anyone have any thoughts or a workaround/solution?  If not does
anyone have suggestions on how to use a third party app to attain the
same results?



Thanks in advance for any advice...

Yeah, but MDM's product has a much better encryption algorythm that  either of

RE: [Flashcoders] problems with unc paths in flash 8

2006-04-17 Thread Scott Brantley

With the way the client wants this app set up, there will be no browser
involved. Basically the interface will be a flash 7 (I wish 8) exe that
people in the company will run on their computers at work (around the
country). The exe will get UNC paths from a database and use those to
play the flvs within their LAN.
Basically the app is video heavy! So they don't want to install the
videos and so forth on each of the computers. They can't play them over
the net either because they weigh so much. There are also security
issues they have with internet -- so that is most definitely out of the
question with them.
My fellow programmers and I have read every bit of documentation out
there on all the new flash 8 security stuff. We didn't find anything.
Doesn't mean there wasn't something there. I was recommended to this
discussion list by a friend and I wanted to see if anybody here knows
anything. Like I said it works in Flash 7 exe, so I do have a work
around. I just really want to use the new Flash 8 components.
Thanks,

So, is the question something about accessing local files while in a 
browser, something along those lines? If so, then have you checked the 
docs on the changes in FP8, as referenced in the previous post?

Could he be referring to the UNC being the Universal Naming Convention

[Flashcoders] problems with unc paths in flash 8

2006-04-17 Thread Scott Brantley
Hey Everyone,

Does anyone have any idea how to get around Flash's new securities when
playing an flv over a UNC? It works just fine in Flash 7. So the problem
has to be with the new securities.

Thanks
