Re: [Flashcoders] componets below mask
I believe this is because components use system fonts and system fonts do not show up in masks - if the components allow you to embed fonts, this should fix the problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] Screensavers...
I've done screensavers with Screenweaver and had good luck. The one thing that puts it ahead of Zinc for screensavers is that you can set up an SWF file to appear as the setup-dialog if somebody presses the settings button on the Windows display preferences. That way you can add settings for your screensaver. And it's free :) I haven't tried the other projector-tools, so I can't comment on them. Jason Ross wrote: Hi ...

[Flashcoders] Re: Screensavers...
I was also wondering about what software to use for screensavers. I definitely need to produce them for both PC and Mac. Screentime looks like a winner, but I'd also be interested in Zinc for the extra functionality -- if it could produce screensavers for both platforms. I've been checking their website (http://www.multidmedia.com/) and can't find much specific info on using Zinc for screensavers. Perhaps that in itself should tell me all I really need to know. ::. clive shang liang wrote: I use screentime. It's not free but quite some features and it supports mac too.

[Flashcoders] remote accessing flv
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but has anyone had this problem before. In an attempt to use the flash streaming services from RBN I began by following their directions to stream a video. These instructions follow a basic process to get a video streaming from a .swf. You drop a video component onto the stage of your flash project, place the rtmp address of the .flv file on RBN's servers into the inspector for that component and publish the flash project. The .swf from the published flash movie is then placed into an html page. If this page is opened locally the flash video will stream. However, if the page is placed onto the development or production servers the flash video ceases to play.

You probably shouldn't have 'secure' in there. Just to make sure: You put that file on the server with the video, or the server with the swf? That file should go on the server with the video.

RE: [Flashcoders] remote accessing flv
Yes, I removed the 'secure,' still no luck. I agree, the server with the video should have the crossdomain.xml file, and it does (RBN are hosting out video), but we've been troubleshooting this problem for a while now and the folks at RBN asked us to see if it would help. It didn't. I'm also running out of ideas. I'm still waiting for a definitive answer from our network folks as to whether or not the firewall could be blocking it, they initially told me that it wasn't but when pressed they weren't sure.

[Flashcoders] Keyboard accessibility and sliders
Hi I'm developing a Flash item that is required to be keyboard accessible. One screen has a series of sliders. I want the user to be able to tab to select which slider they wish to use, then use their arrow keys to move the sliders left or right. Of course the normal behaviour of the arrow keys with tabEabled items is that they can serve as an alternative to the tab key. I'm looking for a way to keep as closely as possible to the standard keyboard accessibility guidelines while allowing the use of the sliders via the keyboard. Anyone care to share their solution to this? I wondered about having everything tab disabled then handling the whole thing with a key listener, but that would be a real pain. There are other items on the same screen that also need to be part of the normal tab order.

[Flashcoders] RE: Keyboard accessibility and sliders
Standard keyboard accessibility states that the tab and enter key are the 2 keys that can be used. ie. These map to switch users keys as standard. So what you can do is tab to the slider and then on an enter press the slider can increment an amount and so on, until the next tab to the next acccessible item. You can even mark the increments on the slider if you want. Your slider will then be accessible to all user including 1 switch users. It is standard that you tab between items and and enter hit does the item action.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Keyboard accessibility and sliders
Hi Dan Thanks for your comments. The use of arrow keys has been requested by the client. I may have to try and talk them out of it. But it makes sense visually - the sliders are arrows pointing left and right, and it's important that the user can slide them as little or as much as they like (constrained only by their extreme left and right limits). My plan was to use left and right arrow keys and a setInterval so they can be moved smoothly and easily. If the choice is to either follow the rules and make it cumbersome, or break the rules make it easy, my choice would be to make it easy for non-mouse users. Just looking for the best way.

[Flashcoders] Flashpaper for customized documents
Hi all: I have not used Flashpaper yet. I have a potential project that would involve making a resource that would allow users to customize printable documents (forms). There are hundreds of these forms so they can't be laid out directly in Flash (too time prohibitive). Customization could be limited to header, footer and a logo. Here is the workflow I need to develop: 1) Original documents are in Word 2) convert to Flashpaper 3) import flashpaper swf into Flash 4) create an interface in Flash that allows user to add a logo, and edit header and footer content 5) Print customized document from Flash with flashpaper, logo and custom header/footer Is this feasible? For instance could I just lay movieclips with a logo, and header and footer on top of the multipage Flashpaper for it to print? or does printing from flashpaper work differently from what I could accomplish using the Printjob class? Another question. Obviously I can load a jpeg for the logo, if the above is feasible. Is there a way the user can browse to find their logo.jpg file on their hard drive to load it? Thanks for any help... I need to figure this out today, of course.

So what you can do is tab to the slider and then on an enter press the slider can increment an amount and so on, until the next tab That's not how I'd envision the use. The Microsoft reference for the slider has the basics, as does the IBM/JFC reference. We do most of this with the Flex slider http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnwue/html/ch08c.asp http://www-03.ibm.com/able/guidelines/java/jfckeys95.html Basically, once the slider gains focus, you then use keys to control the slider position. The tab key moves the focus away from the slider. Here's the shortcuts I'd recommend: Right arrow and up arrow - increment slider (using right and up allows the slider to be vertical or horizontal with no impact on users) Left arrow and down arrow - decrement slider Ctrl+up and Ctrl+right - large increment Ctrl+down and ctrl+left - large decrement Home/end - lowest and highest slider positions Hope this helps, AWK Andrew Kirkpatrick Corporate Accessibility Engineering Lead Adobe Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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] flickr api security
Anyone have experience with the Flickr api? I've been trying to play around this flex app which displays and manipulates Flickr images: http://www.jamesward.org/flickrWidget/flickrWidget.html - source code at http://www.jamesward.org/flickrWidget/srcview/index.html . I got it working locally pretty easily, but when I try to host it on a test server, I get security errors: Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://www.here.net/test.swfcannot load data from http://static.flickr.com/109/314.jpg.; This is without making any changes to the code. I believe it may have to do with the fact that the images loaded are in http://static.flickr.com and the crossdomain policy file is at http://api.flickr.com . Any ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Keyboard accessibility and sliders
Hi Andrew Basically, once the slider gains focus, you then use keys to control the slider position. The tab key moves the focus away from the slider. Here's the shortcuts I'd recommend: Right arrow and up arrow - increment slider (using right and up allows the slider to be vertical or horizontal with no impact on users) Left arrow and down arrow - decrement slider Ctrl+up and Ctrl+right - large increment Ctrl+down and ctrl+left - large decrement Home/end - lowest and highest slider positions Makes perfect sense to me. How would you prevent the left/right arrow keys from moving the focus away from the current slider to the next/previous item in tab order?
