Re: [Flashcoders] Output to Text File

2006-07-18 Thread Adrian Park

Eric, that's interesting feedback. For my part, I only used a fraction of
the functionality Zinc offers and had no issues at all.

I understand the version of Zinc I'm using (v2.5) is a recent release  - out
of curiosity, is this the version you have found buggy?

Steven, I somehow missed mProjector when I was reviewing the options! It
looks pretty good.

It's interesting that all of these are exactly $299!

 Adrian/Eric,

 Thanks for the info.

 I need to build quite a large RIA soon (it will be a flex app, but for
the
 purposes of this discussion the gui will be a series of swf's) that
 requires
 extensive local machine/local network access (and this needs to be
 released
 prior to Apollo).  I understand there is a polarised opinion of desktop
to
 swf products such as zinc, but my current thinking is if I need to use a
 wrapper of this nature, I'd prefer to write my own in C# (my app is
 heavily
 reliant on database servers, and im not sure current data access in zinc
 or
 swf studio is sufficient or good enough performance-wise).

 Maybe these products have moved on since I last investigated though.

 Eric, just out of interest, what particularly puts you off zinc?

 Cheers,

 Nick

RE: [Flashcoders] Output to Text File

2006-07-18 Thread kelly snyder

Nick,

I try to avoid third party software when possible.  I am going to write a 
C++ file that will handle the model side of the program and read/write to 
the disk.  Then I can use Flash for the view and controller portions.  I 
know this can be done quite easily (using ActiveX and FSCommand, I think).  
I am reasonably proficient with MS Visual C++, but I have never run a swf 
from within a C++ application.


So, yes I do have a plan.  It may take me some time to figure out the 
intricacies of it, however.

No need for fscommand, use externalInterface, although it's much better than
using 3rd party software I've found trough experience and using both
approaches, that sometimes it's just better to use a tested 3rd party app.

Pedro,

I have found that third party software is often poorly tested, poorly 
documented, and pooly maintained.  Too many times, I have been asked to 
update something that had third party components, only to find that the 
company had gone out of business.  Also, there can be licensing issues for 
distributed software...  If I build it up from scratch then I eliminate 
future headaches, even if it does take longer now.

Re: [Flashcoders] Output to Text File

2006-07-17 Thread eric dolecki

Zinc looks awesome on the outside. The app is nice looking, the APIs look to
be really deep  extensive. However I have found it to be quite buggy

Adrian/Eric,

Thanks for the info.

I need to build quite a large RIA soon (it will be a flex app, but for the
purposes of this discussion the gui will be a series of swf's) that
requires
extensive local machine/local network access (and this needs to be
released
prior to Apollo).  I understand there is a polarised opinion of desktop to
swf products such as zinc, but my current thinking is if I need to use a
wrapper of this nature, I'd prefer to write my own in C# (my app is
heavily
reliant on database servers, and im not sure current data access in zinc
or
swf studio is sufficient or good enough performance-wise).

Maybe these products have moved on since I last investigated though.

Eric, just out of interest, what particularly puts you off zinc?

Cheers,

Nick

When I hear people using Zinc, I cringe. I hope that works out for you.
Personally, I feel more content using a little product from Northcode...

 Nick,

 I know you asked Kelly but, in case it's interesting to you, I have
 completed the project I was working on using Zinc. It is a kiosk
 application in which I needed to capture user data from a form in
 Flash and append it to a text file for collection later. Zinc made
 this an absolute breeze! The new {mdm}ScriptT 2.0 is a doddle to use
 and really well integrated and with just a few short lines of code I
 was able to build the functionality I needed.

 Cheers
 Adrian

  I am trying to find a way to get my Flash file read from and write
  to ASCII text files.  I would like to run the swf or exe file on my
  local
 machine,
  with an input test file and an output text file in the same
  directory.  The swf file would read from the input file and write to
  the
 output  file.  Is
  this possible?  Can I use javascript to achieve this?

I believe you would need to use something such as php for this.

Re: [Flashcoders] Output to Text File

You can do it with something like Zinc ( http://www.multidmedia.com/ ) or
Jugglor (http://www.flashjester.com/).

There is also the open source Screenweaver (http://screenweaver.org/) which
can do this I think.

There are also other similar solutions - try
http://www.swftools.com/tools-category.php?cat=290 for a list (some of them
don't seem to exist anymore though).

I'd be very interested to know what you go with and what your experiences
are.
