Re: [Flashcoders] DRM for FLV
I dont know, but you dont *need* DRM for purely streamed FLVs since they dont sit in the cache. So I presume they are talking about progressive download. But these guys always do quite a bad job of describing what they do, therefore sucking every last bit of credibility out of their offerings. This is streaming on rtmp port 80, so it's tunneling. They used a crypted scheme to prevent the users to get direct access to the flv source. They use also they own server VCS to broadcast it. They seems to have inserted special data in the flv stream like timestamp to speak with the client. So the client have to download a piece of software that act as a player to interpret all of the stuff. I'll dig further another time. It's a funny toy anyway ! --- erixtekila http://blog.v-i-a.net/ ___ 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] Question about __constructor__
The first thing to understand is that AS2 uses the same bytecode as AS1. i.e. AS2 if just AS1 with pretty makeup and a new hairdo. I can't say better ! Actually all the tricks available for Flash5 are still usefull for flash7. The one you noticed is a trick to link a MovieClip Class with a MovieClip graphic datatype. This is a major problem for lots of developpers in actionscript. Anyhow, use this code to link a custom class to the _root variable. That way, when the timeline will be loaded, you'll get an onLoad callback in your custom class. Nice ain't it ? You could look at this technique in one of Aral's article.

Re: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts : method with 2 files seems faster that method with 1 file
1) You have total control over which glyphs are included directly in the Flash IDE without having to use a 3rd party tool like SWFmill. Completly opposite on this. opposite to your opposite :) I wanted to embed all japanese characters of a font, how do you do this with swfmill? I don't want to define them all in the glyphs attribute, but i also don't want to embed the whole font. So my solution for this was: 1) embed the needed characters with Flash 2) decompile the generated swf with swfmill 3) changing the xml so it works as shared font library (adjusted the font name) 4) recompile with swfmill. Simpler than that, omit the attribute glyph of the swfmill's font tag. Please refer to swfmill mailing-list for further discussions of that **genious** tool.

Re: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts : method with 2 files seems faster that method with 1 file
1- More control over which glyphs are included. You're right that it is possible to include only the required glyphs with swfmill. 2- Works with faux bold and faux italic. Excuse my ignorance, but what is a faux ? 3- This is the main reason why I'll use the 2 SWF method over the single SWF method... The 2 SWF methods loads a lot faster in the tests I did. With the one SWF method, the SWF is loaded (let's say it's 15kb) and then it seems to reload the 15kb before the shared font becomes available. But in the 2 SWF method, the SWF gets loaded immediately and the 15KB are only loaded once just before the shared font becomes available. The shared lib isn't loaded twice. You just have to wait for a delay frame, in order to use it. That's all.

Re: [Flashcoders] getTextExtent weirdness
Primarily the main formatting characteristics such as font name, size and style if applicable; with embedded/bitmap fonts the style is what it is, of course. Anti aliasing or sharpness likely are not going to make a big difference in the width, and they do not apply anyway with bitmap fonts. Try it on some fonts, you'll be amazed ;) You could, of course, make multiple metrics fields, one for each typeface/size/style you want to measure, but just as well there can be just one off-stage field that is set to whatever style settings you want to currently measure. Isn't it a pain for dynamic apps ? Hm, let me try.

Re: Re[4]: [Flashcoders] Shared fonts
The workaround would be to create a swf with SWFMill so you can specify all glyps or use textfields then you can specify them yourself, but then you'll have to have two swf's. One for runtime export and one for runtime import, that's the case. actually, you can, SWFmill and more: http://www.v-i-a.net/blog/archives/43.html http://www.deja-vue.net/blog/2006/05/26/as2-sharedfonts-datagrid- example-the-last-stand/#more-42 I'll try to take time to translate my article soon. BTW, Mike's one is pretty good also. There is no revolution in this, just a trick. I think that since multi-tiers shared libraries was available (Flash 6, I presume), we were able to use a single swf that contains shared font glyphs. Only RD permitted to find the way. So kuddos to the pionneers : lv and zarate. Let's sum up a little : There are two solutions that use the same trick. The trick is to create a swf that referenced itself has a shared lib (importing AND exporting its own assets) After, you need to be sure to load that swf and wait for a frame in order to be able to use the glyphs. Unfortunatly, it seems that Flash 8 ide doesn't accept to link a swf to itself anymore. swfmill is really a good tool to do whatever you want (good swf knowledge needed) Last thing to note. In order to use shared fonts compiled for swf8, be sure to use the last snapshot of swfmill (unreleased til now) : http://iterative.org/swfmill/pre/ To end the discussion, I wasn't able to use the same trick for other types of assets (bitmap or vectors).

Re: [Flashcoders] Can this be true?
If you think about how it works having a sound set to stream on the timeline so that animations can be synched tightly, you'll understand how this 'trick' works - the player needs to maintain framerate so that the audio track and graphical tracks don't lose synch and the audio streams smoothly.

Forget about all its parentnodes, we're talking about a new xml-document here. var countriesList:Array = XPath.selectNodes(xmlData, /map/country); for (var i=0; icountriesList; i++) { var countryName:XMLNode = XPath.selectSingleNode(countriesList[i], name); trace(countryName); } // -- this should give the same results since xmlData is the source var countryNames:Array = XPath.selectNodes(xmlData, /country/name); trace(countryNames); I was following the thread, but don't anderstand the answer. I was sure it was a problem of context, but I don't get how to fix it. Your explanation is clear but doesn't follow the first example provided : function parseXML(xmlData) { countriesList = XPath.selectNodes(xmlData, /map/country); handleCountry (countriesList [0]);--- seems to sends a new context node } function handleCountry(country) { countryName = XPath.selectNodes(country, /country/name); why not root node of the new context here ? trace(countryName); // shows nothing // If I do this though, I get back the original results countryList = XPath.selectNodes(country, /map/country); -- still evaluating xmlData there ? trace(countryList); // shows country list } Perhaps it's because of references. country is an XMLNode passed by reference to handleCountry Then, when XPath tries to filter from country's context, it uses in fact the same XMLdocument as before. I am not really happy with this explanation though. Further explanation ?

Re: [Flashcoders] XPath Problem
OK, I get it. It's definitively a problem of reference. In order to filter an already filtered XMLNode, you've got to clone it before. XMLNode has such a function, cloneNode. So your example should work like this : function parseXML(xmlData) { countriesList = XPath.selectNodes(xmlData, /map/country); handleCountry(countriesList[0].cloneNode (true)); // Note the cloning process } function handleCountry(country) { countryName = XPath.selectNodes(country, /country/name); trace(countryName); // Should work. } Cheers. --- erixtekila http://blog.v-i-a.net/ ___ 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] Netstream doesn't… stream bef ore being Garbage collected
Hi list, It seems that the MM example to read a progressive video doesn't work : http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8_fr/main/2843.html After some times, It appears that it was a garbage collector issue : This don't work : class ProgressiveVideo { public static function main (root:MovieClip) { root.attachMovie (video_mc, video_mc, 1); var my_video = root.video_mc.flux; var my_nc = new NetConnection (); my_nc.connect(null); var my_ns = new NetStream(my_nc); my_ns.onStatus = function (info) { // Never being called ! root.video_mc._width = 512; root.video_mc._height = 384; }; my_video.attachVideo(my_ns); my_ns.setBufferTime (2); my_ns.play(pink.flv); } } This do work : class ProgressiveVideo { public static var my_nc:NetConnection; public static var my_ns:NetStream; public static var my_video:Video; public static function main (root:MovieClip) { root.attachMovie (video_mc, video_mc, 1); my_video = root.video_mc.flux; my_nc = new NetConnection (); my_nc.connect(null); my_ns = new NetStream(my_nc); my_ns.onStatus = function (info) { root.video_mc._width = 512; root.video_mc._height = 384; }; my_video.attachVideo(my_ns); my_ns.setBufferTime (2); my_ns.play(pink.flv); } } The only difference is the use of properties in place of local variables.

[Flashcoders] Dynamic shread fonts was : Linked font from class
still, you have to put that Shared thingie in both **The sharedLib AND ** The loader ... with zarate's, you don't need both ... actually, you just prepare the **SharedLib and then the Loader automatically loads in the new font (without linking, without compiling, without everything, just leave it alone) wouldn't it be better ? Yes ! Did you tried this technic with flash 8 ide ? On osx, i can't recompile the original example of zarate : Problem of ressource for the forceShared asset. BTW, it gave me the curiosity to dig further in this technic. I've made a new thread on my blog in order to explain my attempt : http://www.v-i-a.net/blog/archives/43.html I used Zarate's trick (because this is in fact a trick) to do it with opensource tools. I had the feeling that it would be easier than the long (and badly translated) explanation available. As I don't anderstand spanish and you don't probably french, I try to translate some part of my post here. We'll be able to create true dynamic shared libraries for flash. The principe uses the same as Zarate, but IMHO more friendly. If I remember well, the flash player 6.0.79 gets a new feature : multi-tiers shared lib. We use that in order to create dynamic shared lib without referencing the url in the importing animation. Here are the key to the paradise : - An empty swf - This swf is used to add the url to itself and the other assets to be shared. - A loading animation that preload the sharedLib before using it. All the swfmill script are on the blog. If one is interested to an automated as2ant process, let me know. Even if this is an awful trick, it leverage the power of dynamic shared assets in flash. And I, personnaly, feel much more confortable to do it with swfmill than Flash, as that type of creation is really ugly in it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiuser - which backend?
Hi, I should recommend you Oregano. I've ported the API to as2 and put several additions to it. That makes it a really nice tool to play with. All the benefits are that Oregano is more a framework than just XMLSocket for Flash. It uses a homemade serialisation/deserialisation scheme which make it quiet fast (no XML parsing is needed) You could send and receive typed object like in Remoting. There is also a kind of RecordSet called Table, which is a representation of database table with the sorting possibilities. Oregano server runs on Java 1.4 and is fully extensible. One could create special extensions to enhance to server functionnalities, for example for security… You could also create a clustering server structure if you need more power. You could balance the differents process on a group basis. There are tons of great things with Oregano, but the one I appreciate the most is the quality of the documentation. You are lucky because I've decided to release a new version which is pretty stable (after one year of heavy testings) I'll publish it in some days on my blogs : http://blog.v-i-a.net/ But you could grab a copy now and play with it. There are so much things to learn… http://www.oregano-server.org/ If you need support, you could register here : http://forum.v-i-a.net/ There is an english dedicated board. Feel free to ask there. I'm actually thinking of some inprovments of Oregano.

Hi all, Has anyone find a way to calculate the real size that a textfield should take in order to display its content correctly. The trouble comes from the mix of TextFormat properties and TextField ones : TextFormat.getTextExtend did a good job before the safron text engine included in Flash8. Now we can set thickness directly on the textfield, but the preceding method of TextFormat doesn't take account of that. So obviously the result is smaller than needed.

[Flashcoders] Flash 8 embeds fonts on OSX, even if you don't tell it to !

Re: [Flashcoders] Is Adobe settings manager usable ?
UI size is one issue... if you're viewing a 60-pixel-square SWF, there's no room for an internal dialog. There are also localization and update issues. OK, John. I think I get your point. You're talking of small screens. BTW, there should be a minimal value for the scroller button. It's not visible at all. That approach of using a full webpage UI to examine local settings is clever, but has been too novel for many people... I know there have been internal discussions on how to improve the next generation, but I don't yet know how these discussions may manifest in new UIs. Can't wait to see the improvments.

[Flashcoders] Is Adobe settings manager usable ?
Hi, Do someone of you (or your clients) ever use the settings manager ? See : http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/ settings_manager06.html Do you feel confortable to delete / manage an entry in this small scrollpane with an invisible scroller. The more you get SharedObjects, the thiner it goes. My opinion is that is it purely unusable. Don't tell for my clients… Please guys and gals, give us your thoughts on this application.

There could be a TaskManager running in the background swf. It handle the thread like objects and send output when the thread dies.

Re: [Flashcoders] Applying tween class to textfields
FYI, I made another tween engine build on a new concept. I just have published some source code on my site : http://www.v-i-a.net/blog/archives/2005_11.html For the none frenchist, here is an overview. If you find it interesting, I'll put this in osflash site. Here is the idea behind this implementation : Flash mathematic calculation is slow. And Tween rely on heavy calculation, even though Robert Penner optimized them as much as possible. But once you've done the all equation, why should you begin again ? So I made a cache system available that intelligently serve precalculated values. That's all. Moreover, instead of using an onEnterFrame, I use setInterval. What th deal ? setInterval is able to force rendering the screen 1 times faster than the framerate. So if your tween needs a must render every step algorithm, it's available. I've also rethink the API to make it more easy for (/me). There is an exemple of use on the blog. As usual, you are not slave with MovieClip properties, you could tween Color values, as soon as they get some accessor methods.

Re: [Flashcoders] [structure] Automatic callback
Le 24 nov. 05, à 19:39, Scott Hyndman a écrit : You could have modules aware of their peers (like a graph or linked list structure) and eliminate TestSequence entirely...but it would be kind of odd. Otherwise you could have modules dispatch a notification when complete, and have TestSequence observing the modules. This would make the most sense...and I wouldn't consider it an explicit callback, since the modules will have no knowledge of the sequence's existence. Yes, that's what I was thinking of. But I still have to call the callback. Here is what I was thinking of : - TestSequence is composed with an FIFO Array, linked list, whatever… - TestModule is a base class with only one method : endTest (b:Boolean) - Each Test have to subclass it in order to call endTest when the implementing test is achieved. The endTest method is not derived by the subclass (it should declared as final, but…) - ITestElement is an interface that each Test have to implement in order to force 1 method : startTest() Sequentially, TestSequence call each entry of its stack. Each TestElement do its stuff and, when finishing or failing, calls endTest on the superclass. endTest only do one stuff : calls the callback of TestSequence. When receiving this message, TestSequence only has to go one stpe further. And so on… My goal is to abstract as much as possible the test implementation. I'd like to be able to batch as much test as I want. But, as I am lazy (!), I'd like not to call endTest at all. Because I am not sure that I will remember that need in months. So, it would be pretty better for me to find an automatic way of being called. Follow me ? Any idea ?

Re: [Flashcoders] LoaderClass in Flash 8
Hi there, I've checked Brian's port. It seems interesting because of some additions. But you should be aware that's it is just an inclusion of the methods without private/public modifiers. I'll manage to add this once I get time. That way you'll get these modifiers plus Brian's add. Checked Bryan Ledford's site, there was an update this month: 2005/10/4 http://www.bryanledford.com/download/LoaderClass2.0.zip Bryan Ledford rewrote this class for AS 2. http://www.v-i-a.net/download/?LoaderQueue http://www.v-i-a.net/download/?LoaderQueue_doc The above urls are still valid. BTW, I was thinking that I should rethink the whole implementation. In fact, MovieClipLoader has a new onLoadError event and manage 404 HTTP headers. As it'll glue the use with flash8, it could be interesting though. To finish, we could imagine an implemenation using a Strategy pattern to switch between the way to behave in regard of the flash version. But my question is : Do a queue loader class need worth it ?
