[Flashcoders] AS3 addChild() strange behaviour

2008-01-21 Thread Toby de Havilland
Hi Guys,

I have run into a strange problem and its seriously affecting my deadline, i
just cant seem to find the problem.

- I am using PureMVC and as3.
- I am building a dynamic menu based on XML returned from the server
- I am attaching MovieClips from the flash IDE library dynamically
- Some of these Library MovieClips contain small amounts of code (rollovers,
stop() commands etc)

If i simply build the menu and do not request the XML the menu appears fine
at the actionscript inside the MenuItemMC works as expected.

If i invoke my HTTPService to request the XML, and fire a PureMVC
sendNotification() when the data is returned and then call
buildMenuItems()... the actionscript inside the MenuItemMC is ignored.

Has anyone else seen this problem where MovieClips added using addChild()
appear to ignore their timeline scripts?

Regards,

Toby de Havilland.

[Flashcoders] clickTags and sending variables to aspx

2007-02-13 Thread Toby Morey

Hey there

Does anyone know how to append variables to an .aspx URL via a clickTag
button on a banner ad?
I haven't a clue (just a designer pretending to be a coder ;)

At the moment the script I have on the button is:

on (release) {
   var1 = append=this_to_be_appended_to_URL;
   getURL(clickTag, _blank, GET);
   trace (var1);
   }

And then of course I'm letting whoever's hosting the banner ad know what the
base default.aspx URL is...

 Alternatively, the server may not have the MIME-type set for .flv.
 
 On Apache etc. you tend to be fine, but IIS is a pain - it just won't
 serve things that you haven't set up a MIME-type for. I had this issue
 last week; once set up, it's fine.
 
 One way to test that - if you try browsing, manually, to the .flv file
 using your browser and get a 404 error (but you are certain that the
 file is there) you may be looking at a MIME-type error.
 
 You'll need to Google how to set up that MIME-type in IIS - I'm afraid
 I don't know off the top of my head (I avoid IIS as a general rule).

RE: [Flashcoders] Express Install (again)

2006-10-17 Thread Toby
Can I recommend you subscribe to the SWFobject list and post this question
there  [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

On the point of the issue you are experiencing I would have thought this
could have been also been influenced by browser behaviour and the installers
behaviour, regardless of SWFObject, infact, I doubt SWFObject has any
control over the installer or what it does after it has installed...
although that is pure guesswork! 

OT: I think you will be lucky if you manage to get the express install to
work identically on a lot of browsers over the next year, especially with
IE7 coming out. Personally I would hold your horses depending on the
commercial status of the website you are attaching this functionality too.

Hope the ramblings help!

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Accessibility Issues

2006-10-12 Thread Toby
You might want to request which platforms you will be supporting for people
with accessibility problems, or make a list yourself and then take the
appropriate measures to ensure they are supported with your efforts.

I have no experience whatsoever but accidentally tripped across the flash
players ability to tab around buttons and movie clips within a flash
website, with this in mind you might also want to request what level of
accessibility you will need to be providing.

Always remember the worst case scenario is only going to be making a xhtml
version... I do say only with no knowledge of the amount of content you may
be dealing with.

Hope those ramblings help a little.

RE: Re: [Flashcoders] Playing video backwards kills my CPU

2006-10-10 Thread Toby
If you want to play video backwards don't be silly and try and rewind your
actual movie (for the reasons already outlining in the email responses 
compression and keyframes)

You will need to do this in a video editing program, then export a separate
video. This solution is feasible if your .mov displays a 3D model and you
want to reverse an animation maybe...

You need to look at your brief, asses why you are trying to rewind the
video, and then look for the best technology to do this. Telling flash to go
through your compressed movie backwards frame by frame is lunacy (as you are
finding out the hard way).

Sort it out, or your clients expectations (or even your own!).

  It's probably neither one of those alternatives - it's more like a fact
 of
  life.
 
  The way temporal compression works for video is by having one keyframe
 (the
  entire image) followed by several frames (chunks of image that only
 specify
  changes to the image data). When doing forward this is fine, but when
  seeking to a different frame, the render has to actually go to an
 specific
  keyframe, then render forward to the specified frame. Because of this,
 going
  backwards really *is* much more difficult to any player or codec (unless
 you
  have one keyframe every frame, which defeats the purpose of temporal
  compression).
 
  If you're having that problem, try lowering the steps between keyframes
 on
  your video (say, one keyframe every 15 frames instead of one every 30
  frames). It should make things better, but at a cost - your video file
 will
  be bigger.

  _root[p+n].removeMovieClip();

 No dynamically attached symbols. Didn't work...

 if it's not much trouble?
 It's at http://www.zefxis.gr/files/ImageIssue.fla
 
 I'm not sure if I understand correctly what you are saying here.
 The first frame of the movieclips has to be blank, their content
 must start from frame let's say 2, and before removing them
 moving their timeline to frame 1, which is blank? Is that it?
 I tried this and still doesn't work.
 
 Do you have an working example you can shared maybe?
 
 Thanks a million!

  hi Dimitrios,
 
   Try using hard coded symbol_clips instead of the dynamically attached
  movies, because frame 2+ is going to contain whatever exists on keyframe
  one of the code created attached movie.
 
   For example, using an IDE target_clip symbol with the first occupied
  keyframe and the target in frame 5 will  require the command
 target_clip,
  goto (key)frame5 and loadmovie content.jpg into
  replacable_target_movieclip_symbol actually exists only on frame5.  The
  loaded content.jpg can be eliminated from the player by sending the
  target_clip/timeline to empty keyframe1, which is a known to be an empty
  keyframe...  thus no 'load_target' no content that replaced the
  'load_target.
 
   Placing attached movieclips on different levels is more complex since
 we
  have no way to create truly empty keyframes on dynamic timelines... i
  think... :)
 
  we'll get it working,
  Dave Matthews

 hi Dimitrios,
 
 re: Anyone got any idea?
 
   We had problems last year with something similar, loading 6 layers of
  tiles in a 10 x 10 grid from the terraserver:
  http://www.davidmatthews.com/dad/07-03-05-maplicator.swf  press n
  slide/pan, double click n hold slide to zoom.
 
 
   Turns out .jpg's decompress to over 3 times their size to render in
 the
  player.
 
   The solution we used to get rid of the memory bloat is to use
 loadmovie
  into target clips, which throws the previous .jpg's out of the clip and
  player - replacing it with the new content.
 
   For a greater number of loaded movies, when we change layers in the
  maplicator for example, we actually move to a blank frame in the target
  clip's timeline.
 
   By moving to a frame where the target clips no longer exist we force
 the
  player to abandon the previously loaded .jpg's along with their holder
  clips which also frees memory because those targets and their content
 are
  no longer anywhere in the timeline or player.
 
   Because the .jpg's are still in the browser cache (but not in the
  player), when the user zooms out and we move back to the empty target
  clips in their timeline, reloading those .jpg's is instantaneous, as
 they
  are not reoaded from the server.
 
 hth,

 Anyone have an algorithm to space dynamically created movieClips centered
 on
 the stage? I'm using attachMovie in a for loop to create the clips based
 on
 an unknown number of itemsusually 3-5 items that are about 150px wide
 each.
 
 Thanks..

RE: [Flashcoders] quality best question

2006-08-22 Thread Toby
At first I thought you may just want to change the global quality settings,
as I have had to do this on projects before, not a nice thing to have to do
tho... just change the quality before you tween, then change it back once
its finished. This can be noticeable in different ways for text and vectors
and is worth testing a few times to consider your options when changing the
quality setting.

Other than that im just checking the AS dictionary and I can see a
_highquality var that can be set on mc's... you checked this?

 Subject: [Flashcoders] quality best question
 
 Hi,
 
 I've got some best practice questions about the quality settings of
 MovieClips.
 Correct or not - this._quality = best in some loaded MovieClip will
 effect the whole Application in its quality and because of that in its
 performance?
 
 Usually we use quality=best in our HTML code to embed our flash app,
 but this tíme we work for a very big screen resolution and we have
 huge performance problems with that. So is it possible to give a
 loaded movieClip (containing an image that should be antialiased when
 it is scaled) a different quality than the surrounding application and
 other movieClips?
 
 Thank you,
 Matthias

RE: [Flashcoders] blank flash movie (what is this)

2006-07-27 Thread Toby
I have seen this on windows servers before, it may be because the filetype
is not registered on the server. You can test by checking the file is
uploaded ftp wise and it is not accessible via a browser with the correct
URL.

Hi there Adrian,
