[flexcoders] video - setting multi bitrate via actionscript? or 'how does youtube do it'
Hey if someone can give me the answer to either of the questions, I'd appreciate it. I've got a spark videoDisplay object that I'm setting the source via actionscript. I'm trying to figure out how to fullscreen it where I can still display an overlay - much like youtube does with their ads - where the video itself isn't scaled from a small rect up (so it's pixelated) but displaying the HD content much like youtube is doing. I can fullscreen it fine, but then I can't show anything OVER it, which kills what I need. Garry Schafer grimmwerks gr...@grimmwerks.com portfolio: www.grimmwerks.com/
[flexcoders] been awhile: spark.components.VideoDisplay fullscreen with an overlay?
Hey all - coming back to a flash project after being away for a year in php / jquery world and trying to get myself acclaimated again -- I've got a videoDisplay showinging a video, and going fullscreen, but I want to be able to display a small spark group above/over/on it but the video is going fullscreen 'above' everything -- assuming direct to video card? Do I have to do the old 'scaling the group with the video in it so that the video is playing at a lower resolution' in order to get any kind of overlay to function?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 4.6 Image Panning and Zooming
Laurence did you ever find anything? I had done something similar using bitmapData in Flex3 but now I want to handle it differently and am having a heck of a time; if I scale the image within it's holder, it's clipping, so you pan around and you've got just a piece of the original image.

Re: [flexcoders] Setting transformX, transformY from mouseUp event?
Any chance you can share some of this code?

[flexcoders] going crazy: custom tooltip positioning
I honestly honestly don't get why I'm having problems positioning this thing; I can set the alpha but can NEVER set the position -- in this example I'm trying to set it to 0,0 (and then moving it to -100,-100) just to see SOMETHING happen - but it never does: Just so you understand as well - I created my own event so that I could get a proper bubble up from an itemrenderer in a list - (ie a slideshow thumbnail). I want to pop over a larger image of this slideshow (hence the class SlidePreviewPopup) - and am passing the original toolTipEvent along. var spp:SlidePreviewPopup = new SlidePreviewPopup(); spp.image.source = event.item.thumbnail; var pt:Point = new Point(event.toolTipEvent.currentTarget.x, event.toolTipEvent.currentTarget.y); var npt:Point = event.toolTipEvent.currentTarget.contentToGlobal(pt); spp.x = 0; spp.y= 0; spp.alpha = .5; event.toolTipEvent.toolTip = spp; trace(spp.x + ' ' + spp.y); spp.move(-100,-100); trace(spp.x + ' '+ spp.y); I'm starting to think that perhaps I *should* do a popup rather than a tooltip...wondering if that will be able to be positioned - but why can't I, for the sake of argument GET this damn tooltip to position?

[flexcoders] matrix math examples / scaling + transforming an image...
Ok I'm going nuts trying to update something that was working in F3 to 4.6 and it's just not working as expected; I've two images, one being a smaller navigator view of the larger image. The user can change the scale of the area to be viewed, and on the smaller 'map' view there's a little draggable bounding box to show the area that you're viewing on the larger image that has now scaled up - complicated explanation, but it's exactly the way photoshop works in terms of showing where you are on a scaled -in image. The scaling bit works fine. I'm allowing the user to drag the small navigator and as it moves the larger image tries doing a transform so that you see -- scaled in again - exactly what is to be seen in the smaller bounded area. It's not exactly right. Garry Schafer grimmwerks gr...@grimmwerks.com portfolio: www.grimmwerks.com/
[flexcoders] scaling images flex3 vs flex4 problem - help?
Hey all - I have an old player that sort of does the Photoshop navigator /
current doc thing -- a smaller example of an image is shown with a larger
image, and when the larger image scales UP there's a box that scales down on
the navigator image that shows you what part of the zoom you're in.
I had this working in F3 with mx components and basically having a slider scale
a matrix.transform, the navigator getting the inverse of the transform; it was
working great. I've since dropped the mx:Canvas scale I was doing for a spark
Group (thinking it's going to migrate to an iPad app in the future) -- and now
images aren't scaling correctly. Originally if an image was loaded in that
wasn't the exact height/width, the image would be letterboxed with the largest
direction being pinned to the sides. When I letterbox the image and try to
scale the group holding it in the spark version it doesn't work properly. When
the scaling works, the image isn't letterboxed and so the navigator and zoomed
in image don't appear the same.
Here's the Flex 3 version (partial):
mx:Canvas width=100% height=100% id=bigBox

[flexcoders] Adding a button in VideoPlayer
Ok I don't know if I'm going absolutely crazy -- I'm trying to add a button to the VideoPlayer -- not the stopButton which is already written in the spark VideoPlayer, but a new button to do something I want and will listen for outside of the class. I create a VideoPlayer skin and add my button. I create a new class and extend VideoPlayer.as. I add a public myButton (say) and override static partAdded -- I trace out the partName / instance and myButton is always null, never added. Hmm. I duplicate the VideoPlayer classes into my own, add the same public myButton and this time my button is being traced out. Now I could do it this way but it's 10k difference in the swf - from 253 to 264. Ok 11. What's the deal? Garry Schafer grimmwerks gr...@grimmwerks.com portfolio: www.grimmwerks.com/

[flexcoders] help with anonymous functions...
OK I don't mean to make this a bit convoluted - but I guess the basics of the
question is regarding using anonymous functions within a member class and being
able to set variables within that member class.
The convoluted question is this: I've got in my app an Interface class that
has pointers to scala/java functions and are passed in callbacks like so:
function echoOrderEvent(callback:Function):void ;
[UriParams(p1=correlationId)]
function echoOrderCacheEvent(callback:Function,extension:Object):void ;
Now in my class I create vars as functions for callbacks like so:
private var echoOrderCacheEvent:Function = function(jstr:String):void{
Alert.show(GOT ORDER EVENT );
}
I set up the call back to this function as such:
interfaceClass.echoOrderCacheEvent(echoOrderCacheEvent, {correlationId:
sessionId});
Now, this works great except in the anonymous function I don't have any access
to the public or private member vars of the class - only of course if I make
the vars static, which is not what I want to do.
What I *can't* figure out is how to make the callback a regular member function
such as:
public function echoEvent(str:String):void{
blah blah
}
And have that work with the interface class -- as
interfaceClass.echoOrderCacheEvent(echoEvent, {correlationId: sessionId}) won't
work; what I was thinking was perhaps .call or .apply methods but not sure how
best to use them here...

[flexcoders] ClassFactory, properties, itemrenderers and changing prop dynamically
Here's another convoluted question -- I've got a list that is bound to an array of a certain Class - let's cal them Permissions. In the Permissions class you've got userId, read and write (booleans there, id for userId, normal stuff). I'm using the same itemrenderer in two lists - a source list which is not editable and a drop list which is; the itemrenderer has an 'editable' variable and I'm setting each list's ClassFactory to this same itemrenderer, with one ClassFactory's properties setting editable to false, one to true. All that is good. Now the strange request I JUST had from someone here is that once an item is dragged and dropped from the source list to the drop list, the item in the source list should dim to show that it's already been chosen, unable to choose again.

Re: [flexcoders] Is it possible to add Flex components to the Stage?
Try stage.addElement rather than addChild?

I'm working in an AS3 view library (no Flex, just Sprites) where I need to
add a Scrollable container component to the Stage on a click event. There's
no way to do this as I see it unless I write my own Scroll container, use
Flex SDK (don't think this works), or use fl.containers.ScrollPane (which is
not an option since we're not using a .fla)
So basically, I'm trying to accomplish this, as simple runnable example, but
it fails silently and nothing appears...any ideas? Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] ClassFactory, properties, itemrenderers and changing prop dynamically
I see your point -- I'm already doing an object / hashmap of items; what would be the best way of having the itemrenderer's check said list though? I'm actually working with PureMVC and all code is in the mediator, everything in the view - ie list and of course itemrenderers... so it's not even something that an itemrenderer would be privy to... plus if I'm using the same itemrenderer for the source and the drop list I'd almost have to tell hmmm; could I *pass* the list each itemrenderer watches through the factory properties.? On Sep 22, 2011, at 3:18 PM, Alex Harui wrote: Because renderers get recycled, it is not recommended to access a renderer instance and change properties on it. There is a indexToItemRenderer() method, but I wouldn’t use it for this. The recommended practice is an “associated list”, essentially a weak-reference dictionary or object map that stores additional information associated with the data objects (not the renderers). In this case, I would probably use a dictionary and stuff each dropped object in the dictionary. Each renderer will compare its data property to see if it is in the dictionary and set the itemEnabled accordingly. On 9/22/11 11:33 AM, grimmwerks gr...@grimmwerks.com wrote: Here's another convoluted question -- I've got a list that is bound to an array of a certain Class - let's cal them Permissions. In the Permissions class you've got userId, read and write (booleans there, id for userId, normal stuff). I'm using the same itemrenderer in two lists - a source list which is not editable and a drop list which is; the itemrenderer has an 'editable' variable and I'm setting each list's ClassFactory to this same itemrenderer, with one ClassFactory's properties setting editable to false, one to true. All that is good. Now the strange request I JUST had from someone here is that once an item is dragged and dropped from the source list to the drop list, the item in the source list should dim to show that it's already been chosen, unable to choose again.

[flexcoders] couple questions about android / air
I have been trying to code an android app in java and decided to take a look at air; I've read some things and need to be clarified about a few items: 1) does the android phone need to have some sort of 'air' installed on it? It seems as if compiling makes a regular .apk but I've also read that there was something necessary on a phone... 2) Flex 4 can or can't create the necessary projects? Awhile back it was necessary to start with a flash project but unsure where that stands now. 3) does an android / air app have all the same framework intents that a java app would? For example, I'm dealing specifically with something that works with Alarm Manager; I'd normally set up an intent that would repond to my Alarmmanager setup, and it would respond when fired; air projects work the same way? Appreciate any quick answers; as these things sometimes go am under the gun with multiple projects. Thanks! Garry Schafer grimmwerks gr...@grimmwerks.com portfolio: www.grimmwerks.com/

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good Flex book that is on the level of Colin Moock's Essential Actionscript 3? In other words, something that isn't primarily project building tutorial-based but instead presents in-depth discussion of components and classes, the various frameworks (PureMVC, etc.) why choose one approach over another, best practices, etc. I ask because the thing that is hardest to get my head around is more architectural than syntax etc. Also, do most people use some form of code behind rather than loading code into CDATA script blocks? thanks for any pointers, --Roy -- - http://www.roypardi.com/ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Alternative FAQ location: https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=942dbdc8-e469-446f-b4cf-1e62079f6847 Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!

[flexcoders] Flash Builder: CSS design view?

Re: [flexcoders] Flash Builder: CSS design view?
Actually - seems odd to me; seems like I have to set properties on a component itself to see it 'live' then I hit 'save to CSS' -- and it's only *then* that it's getting written to a CSS file? CSS files have no code hinting so of course I've got NO clue what is CSS-able in a component in that view?!?

[flexcoders] no autocomplete for CSS in external file?
Ok, maybe it's me. I'm used to working in the CSS Design View in FB3 and being able to create CSS on a class and see it right there... Now it seems that if I'm working with an external CSS file, I can't autocomplete ANYTHING... so my choice is to go into the regular design view, futz with whatever elements I want to change and then hit 'external CSS' -- but I want to be sure that anything I do there DOESN'T get saved with the regular MXML code if the application is already tied to that file? I just am amazed to be the only person who's had this issue. Garry Schafer grimmwerks gr...@grimmwerks.com portfolio: www.grimmwerks.com/

[flexcoders] help with a php call
Ok - an app I'm working on needs to have a watermarked image; if you click on this in the browser: http://creativity-online.com/api/image_watermark.php?workId=17593 It works fine. But I can't figure out how to setup the same thing in Flex, preferably using an HttpService..? I mean I could pop open a new browser window with the constructed ip in order to force downloadin -- but am I incorrect that I should be able to do it with httpService? Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Re: embeding fonts of a style (Interstate RegularCondensed)
Has *no one* got any information on how to embed a font that is not a
regular style?
I'm actually now opening up this font in FontLab and attempting to
save it as it's own .ttf -- but it still thinks there's no 'normal'
font for this type even though I'm saving it as such. *REALLY*
pissing me off.
Would appreciate a working example if anyone has one, PLEASE.

[flexcoders] embeding fonts of a style (Interstate RegularCondensed)
This has been driving me crazy for quite some time.
I'm trying to embed this font:
PostScript name Interstate-RegularCondensed
Full name Interstate-RegularCondensed
Family Interstate
Style RegularCondensed
KindPostScript Type1
Version 001.000
Location/Library/Fonts/Interstate RegularCondensed
Unique name Interstate-RegularCondensed
And trying to do so in various ways - both as a class and in css but
it's just *not* working.
For example, neither this:
@font-face
{
fontFamily: Interstate;
fontWeight: normal;
fontStyle: RegularCondensed;
src: local(Interstate);
}
nor this:
[Embed(systemFont=Interstate, fontName=Interstate,
fontStyle=RegularCondensed, mimeType=application/x-font)]
private var Interstate:Class;
work at all -- I just can't get this simple font to show up; not even
as a .ttf locally. I'd be happy to send someone the font and ask them
to show me how best to embed it,
cause it just ain't liking me
[flexcoders] matrix math help
I'm building a sort of image zoomer/viewer -- you've seen it all
before -- one large image that scales with a smaller image showing the
full image. As you zoom into the large image, the smaller 'viewer'
shows a square showing the area that is being viewed in the larger
view. Dig?
Ok -- so I've got the smallbox scaling down while the larger scales up
- and the views coincide, working perfectly.
But when I have the drag able small area move around - the larger
view does NOT display the same area.
I've tried more extravagant ways of trying this - creating a new
matrix, scaling to the large image, then translating the smaller rects
negative of the x and y of the smaller view - but nothing works.
I've tried this simple example - and in this case the 'test' is a
canvas I'm using to just make sure that the smaller matrix is sound:
private function boxMouseDrag(e:MouseEvent):void{
borderBox.transform = box.transform;
var smM:Matrix =
borderBox.transform.matrix.clone();
smM.invert();
//logit(small: +smM.toString());
//logit(big: +
big.transform.matrix.toString());
big.transform.matrix=smM;
smM.invert();
test.transform.matrix = smM;
}
But the larger one is way off.
An example can be seen at
http://grimmwerks.com/player/creativity-online.com/player.html
I'd really appreciate any help you can offer; I don't know why it's
off. I'm guessing that I have to scale the larger matrix even *more*.

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay smoothing and autoPlay
Well I've followed countless examples to add smoothing to flex by

Re: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay smoothing and autoPlay
Ok I see in the original mx.controls.VideoDisplay it checks autoplay
and either plays or loads the video -- however why can't I override
this function?
private function autoPlaying():void
{
if (_source)
{
// Start playing or loading.
if (_autoPlay)
play();
else
load();
// Seek to playheadTime now if specified.
if (!isNaN(_playheadTime))
{
asCuePointIndexResetPending = Boolean(_playheadTime
= 0);
videoPlayer.seek(_playheadTime);
}
}

[flexcoders] extending tileList - pagination
Hey all - I'm extending tilelist and am displaying a 3x2 grid (6 items) - I'm trying to see if there's currently a way to display the next/previous 6 items - ie paging back and forthrather than just scrolling, which will always show some items of the current view rather than just 1 item if it's alone on a 'page'. I figure the easiest thing is to abscond the dataprovider and and parse it out internally -- but even looking through TileBase I can't quite figure out the best way to grab that... thougths?
[flexcoders] html scale embed
Hey guys - am having trouble trying to figure out the way to properly scale a flex/flash app. There's an overlay that needs to be set at a pixel size within this rather than a percentage because it's got a tileList with items that are of specific size as well... Rather than write percentages for the whole thing why can't I have something that's say 800x600 and scale it down in the embed 400x300 - but whenever I do it's only showing the corner of the 800x600. I've tried exactfit, noborder and default -- what am I missing? Much appreciated.
[flexcoders] HELP problems embedding a font
I've got a font - Interstate-RegularCondensed -- which I've tried
embedding in a Flex app. I've pointed to it, I've embedded in a swf,

doesn't have this font, it's no go.
The thing is It's part of the Interstate family but it's own font
within it -- ie folder structure:
Interstate:
InterReg
InterRegCom
InterRegCon
Interstate Black
Interstate BlackCompressed
Interstate BlackCondensed
Interstate BlackItalic
Interstate Bold
Interstate BoldCompressed
Interstate BoldCondensed
Interstate Light
Interstate LightCompressed
Interstate LightCondensed
Interstate LightItalic
Interstate Regular
Interstate RegularCompressed
Interstate RegularCondensed
and the css was this:

[flexcoders] tilelist rowCount not working...
I'm using FB3 and setting a tileList's rowCount=2 in the mxml - but then once adding data it's definately 3 rows I see. I've even tried adding tilelist.rowCount=2 on the dataChange but it's just not doing a THING. Only other option is to set the data it loads in to only 2 rows-amount and 'paging' through but that just seems stupid...

Re: [flexcoders] argh: matrices and dragging
It can't possibly -- ie what you're seeing under the small viewer when
scaled down doesn't match the large view at all.

[flexcoders] matrix help

[flexcoders] air: file upload (to sesame vault)

In your case, its a multi-part encoded form containing the actual data of the file you are uploading. Is this the way that File.upload() works?

[flexcoders] NumericStepper not displaying it's value correctly...
I've a numericStepper bound to a value in a component. When I Alert.show() it's value it reports the correct value - but it's inputField is NOT; it's inputField is showing the last values before the user cancels (and flips to a different view). Upon the user hitting 'New' -- this is where I'm rebinding the stepper's value (sort of making sure) -- and at this point when I Alert the Stepper's true value and the value of the item being bound to - they are correct, but the number is wrong visually. This is being set by a function - can I do some sort of updateDisplayList() on the NumericSteppers to get them to 'reset' so to speak?

Hey all - I love the way Doug McCune's ZOMG RSS app has done the macosx dock-like animation and am trying to compile with Flex 3.2 but keep getting errors about textFormat - thought it might be the older flexlib.swc which I overwrote -- but still can't compile. Anyone have something similar working for Flex 3.2.

[flexcoders] FMS SharedObject Array problem...
What's wrong with this:
var ev = new Object({sender: this.user.username, message: str});
trace(got chat + ev.message);
var h = this.application.so_Chat.getProperty(history);
h.push(ev);
this.application.so_Chat.setProperty(history, h);
var q = this.application.so_Chat.getProperty(history);
trace(q + q.length);
trace(q[q.length].message);
trace(finished chat);
}
Ok - q.length traces out properly (ie as I add an item, it gets added
properly, the length increases by 1) -- but the history[q].message is
throwing an error.
[flexcoders] ARGH shared object array -- getting data
This is driving me nuts -- an onSync of a shared object where
'history' is an array -- I can the listing of the array, and I get
the length of the arraly, but I can't get each object in the array --
what am I doing wrong?!??
private function chatSync(event:SyncEvent):void{
var arr:Array = new Array();
arr = so_Chat.data.history;
Alert.show('array ' + arr);
var ln:Number = arr.length;
Alert.show(length: + ln);
var ob:Object = arr[Number(ln)];
Alert.show(ob.message);
Alert.show('message ' + arr[ln].message);
}
Re: [flexcoders]
Hrmmm... thanks for the picture of the bike.
[flexcoders] Flex, remote shared objects and functions...
Can anyone tell me if stuff like this is possible:
so_Chat = SharedObject.getRemote(so_Chat, url, false);
so_Chat.onJump = function(str:String){trace(str)}
-- I thought I could set functions on a remote object? But I get
errors in Flex.
[flexcoders] creating component that has change event
Hey all -
I'm creating a searchBox component that's sort of like Safari's search
(ie a button to delete the current text input) -- I'd like it to
implement a change event for it in the larger app (ie
change={fireStuff(event)}
And I do have it dispatching an Event.CHANGE but it doesn't seem to be
valid.
Can anyone point out any docs on this? I'm even trying to trawl
through the frameworks to see what I can discover...
[flexcoders] panel with linkbutton...
Hey all - been looking for examples of adding a custom render to a panel; found one that might work by extending the original Panel; does someone have any other way to do it or examples?
Re: [flexcoders] panel with linkbutton...
Sorry it was late... er... early. Basically create a panel that has a custom headerRenderer - ie a button and Label in the header. On Aug 15, 2008, at 7:49 AM, Howard Fore wrote: Huh?

Re: [flexcoders] JSON as dataprovider
Ok I've actually had to do this slightly different - as there will be
a lot of flipping between items; what I'd hoped to do was something
like like a static var of 'db' as ArrayCollection and do a
db.removeAll() -- but when I've even manually parsed the var arr and
tried doing a db.addItem(arr[x]) it's not working...

[flexcoders] weird limelight fun
Ok - now dig this - I'm attempting to connect to a video stream from limelight in flex. I get a Connection.Success but no video shows up, and no MetaData comes through. I attempt to the same url with our badly written AS2 Flash file (using FSConnection) and I get a video stream showing up in the old application. Keeping that up, I try the flex one again; lo and behold it shows up in the flex application now, no change to code. So what's the deal there? Why won't flex connect to it the same url on it's own?
[flexcoders] anyone successfully streaming video from Limelight?
I've got code to try to stream video from Limelight that doesn't seem to work - but when I plug the same code into our own Flash Media Server setup it works perfectly. Is there no one else trying to get video from limelight into flex?
Re: [flexcoders] NetConnection, Flex and FMS video problem.
Weird - had someone else try this and it works for a video _file_ but
I still can't get it to work with limelight...

[flexcoders] rtmp, videodisplay and _definst_
I'm curious - has anyone had any experience pulling in a limelight feed into flex? I've written a flash player that uses NSConnection and successfully pulls in the stream; but in trying to pull this same stream into flex -- there's no connection/display whatsoever.
[flexcoders] toggling mouseOut/mouseOver and styleName -- or toggleButton....
Is it possible to have a toggle button that has different font weights
upon it's selected and over state?
All I've got to do is create a number of links that when pressed, stay
highlighted -- and the highlight and over states just make the font
bold. Sounds simple, right?
Well, I used a number of text areas like this:
mx:VBox id=vbox left=10 verticalCenter=0 verticalGap=3
mx:Text id=b0 text=What it is click={pages.selectedIndex=1;
switchIt(0);} selectable=false useHandCursor=true
buttonMode=true/
mx:Image source=@Embed(source='dots.png') /
mx:Text id=b1 text=Who it's for click={pages.selectedIndex=2;
switchIt(1)} selectable=false mouseOut={if(b1!=sel)
{b1.styleName='infoLinks'}} mouseOver={b1.styleName='onLink'}
useHandCursor=true buttonMode=true/
mx:Image source=@Embed(source='dots.png') /
mx:Text id=b2 text=What you do click={pages.selectedIndex=3;
switchIt(2)} selectable=false mouseOut={if(b2!=sel)
{b2.styleName='infoLinks'}} mouseOver={b2.styleName='onLink'}
useHandCursor=true buttonMode=true/
mx:Image source=@Embed(source='dots.png') /
mx:Text id=b3 text=What you gain click={pages.selectedIndex=4;
switchIt(3)} selectable=false mouseOut={if(b3!=sel)
{b3.styleName='infoLinks'}} mouseOver={b3.styleName='onLink'}
useHandCursor=true buttonMode=true/
/mx:VBox
Well the trouble is - I want to make the selected text to be 'on' - so
I've been trying to set the selected text styleName to be the 'onLink'
by calling it in the switchIt function -- but this doesn't seem to be
working:
private function switchIt(num:Number):void{
for(var i:uint=0; i4; i++){
if(vbox['b'+i] == tBut){
vbox['b'+i].styleName =
onLink;
vbox['b'+i].mouseOver = ;
vbox['b'+i].mouseOut = ;
}else{
vbox['b'+i].mouseOut =
(vbox['b'+i].styleName = 'infoLinks');
vbox['b'+i].mouseOver =
(vbox['b'+i].styleName = 'onLink');
vbox['b'+i].styleName =
infoLinks;
}
}
}
But it doesn't seem like I can set the mouseOver/mouseOut on Text
components?
[flexcoders] dynamically referring to UIComponents...
Ok, so I've got this Text component, k? Let's say it's name is b0.
Whereas something like Alert.show(b0.toString()); works --
Alert.show(UIComponent('b0').toString()) does not -- can anyone point
out what I'm missing (and yes, I'm importing UIComponent).
Thanks all
