Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Playing video backwards kills my CPU
Have you tried flv. don't know why but flvs always work much smoother for me. On 10/10/06, Zeh Fernando [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It seems to work but it kills my CPU making everyother thing in the site not working and making the video running slowlier. When I go back to fordward playing everything goes back to normality. Any clues? Do I have to look for some flaws in my code or is there something wrong with embbebed video? 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.

Re: Re: [Flashcoders] Movie Clip in a mx scroll pane
you can put a trace(this) on frame 1 of the clip that has your pdf. that will give you its full path from within the scrollpane. The content you load through content path gets placed within a movieclip in the sp. I believe its called data_holder but i forget for sure. your path would look something like _sp.data_holder._content On 10/12/06, Kjel Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Wendy, Thanks for the advice.

Flashkit has lots of examples and down loadable files. For external text, html or xml: In the components inspector, under 'parameters' in the 'path' area you need to write in the path to your file is called . It should find it and put it into the scroll pane, text box, or whatever your using to for the text area. Remember you must name your text area and also, depending on what script your using, i.e. LoadVars, etc., you'll need to put in the properties inspector what that file (your text, html or xml file) is called so flash knows what type put in you text holder, scroll pane or, whichever type of 'holder' you use. example: deskstop/mytextfiles/my.pdf By now you're probably totally confused. I know I was and sometimes still am! There is more than one way to get to Rome. My best advice, go to flashkit.com and search for scrolling text boxes, or scrollers.

//A.test = TEST A;
var B:Object = new Object();
B.test = mx.utils.ObjectCopy.copy(A);

trace( A object :+A);
trace(B.test+ wtf?);
trace(B.test);

cHomeinside B.test[i]: cHome : true
datedinside B.test[i]: dated : false

So, I'd like to be able to write a function that when invoked with the targetPath of the flash object to be clicked, would be able to simulate a mouse click on that object as if a user had actually clicked it. I should also mention that the technique needs to work with arbitrary 3rd-party flash movies (so I don't have control to change the code). The simplest thing to try is just to try to invoke the onPress/onRelease callbacks on the target object. This works sometimes. However, in some cases it doesn't quite simulate a real mouse click. In particular, I seem to have trouble simulating clicks on components (in a List component, for example, the selected row will get highlighted but the handler that does further processing and refreshes the UI doesn't seem to get called). Currently I am (sort of) working around this by getting the coordinates of the center of the target object and using the Win32 api's to move the mouse pointer and simulate the windows mouse down/up events. As you can imagine this is not truly generic (doesn't handle scrollbars, movielclips obscured by other objects, etc). Any thoughts on this? Anyone with previous experience with this or ideas on a better way to generically simulate a click event in flash?

Re: [Flashcoders] NetStream.play() - Start parameter
Hi,
If you want to start playing at 10 seconds you have to first, buffer your
video to 10 seconds. (or 15)
wait for your buffer to be full, then do your seek operation.
That is if you're doing it as a progressive download. If you stream using
FMS or something like it, FMS will automatically handle the pre-buffering
and notify you when it's ready.
bufferTime(15) //buffer the video to 15 seconds
//create your netStream blah blah
nc= //net connection, you know the drill
//bla blah blah
myNetStream_ns = new NetStream(nc)
//
myNetStream_ns.onStatus(infoObj:Object){
for (var prop in infoObject)
{
if (infoObject[prop] == NetStream.Buffer.Full)
{
//buffer has enough data now seek
myNetStream_ns.seek(10)
}
if (infoObject[prop] == NetStream.Buffer.Empty)
{
// you can handle loading issues here. if the buffer runs empty
means the progressive d/l is too slow.
}
if (infoObject[prop] == NetStream.Play.Stop)
{
// know when it stops
}
}
}
also when you run the seek() call the invalid time return also gives you the
last valid time you can set up a handler to automatically seek to the last
valid time that way.

Re: [Flashcoders] wedging in a preloader -- lazy developer alert!
OR, You can uncheck the export in first frame checkbox on the items in the library with linkage.

Re: [Flashcoders] addChild and Array problem
It's probably something w/ your loop. Please post all your code On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 7:32 AM, Greg Ligierko gre...@l-d5.com wrote: I have no answer to the problem, but maybe recreating the shuffled array manually could help. I mean creating a new array and filling its items with a for loop + one extra item. This is not directly related but I experienced onece wrong sorting when using sortOn() method. I do not trust completely on array class methods. g Tuesday, November 24, 2009 (7:35:50 AM) Sajid Saiyed wrote: Hi, Not sure if this is what is causing my problem. I have an array called __viewsArray Then I created 3 new movieclips which I added to the Array. Like this: __viewsArray = new Array(); __view1MC = new MovieClip(); __view2MC = new MovieClip(); __view3MC = new MovieClip(); addChild(__view1MC); addChild(__view2MC); addChild(__view3MC); __viewsArray.push(__view1MC); __viewsArray.push(__view2MC); __viewsArray.push(__view3MC); Now, I create new instances of Loader and add them to the three viewMC's. . myLoader = new Loader(); myLoader.name = MC; myLoader.load(fileRequest); ... // I am removing the code of the loader listener, but u can be sure that I am checking for the load event to complete here... ... __viewsArray[i].addChild(myLoader); . So far so good. When I loop through the __viewsArray, I can do the : __viewsArray[j].getChildByName(MC); no errors. Now, I decide to shuffle the array. So I did: var tempArray = __viewsArray.pop(); __viewsArray.unshift(tempArray); Now when I loop through the array, I get a null object reference. Is it because I am shuffling the array or is it due to something else? Cant figure this one out :( Thanks for any help. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
