RE: [Flashcoders] getTextExtent weirdness

Responding again to my own posting... :-) I tried what I was thinking of below, and it works perfectly! Pixel-accurate width is correctly returned every time. The same method can be used for multiple entry fields, even with different typefaces or type styles as long as those style parameters

[Flashcoders] Flash for forums

2006-06-24 Thread Weldon MacDonald
I've never liked forums, mostly because the I find navigating around in most forums is pretty clunky, give me an email list every time, but, as so often happens, the universe has decided to get a little revenge. I have a client who wants a forum. I've just spent the morning researching forum

vBulletin's current version has many AJAXy features which enable interactions similar to what you describe. It's not free, but it's not expensive either. http://vbulletin.com/ -josh On Jun 24, 2006, at 8:28 AM, Weldon MacDonald wrote: I've never liked forums, mostly because the I find

I'm on a few vBulletin powered forums and they work very well. Bulletin boards are far superior to e-mail lists in almost everyway. I've been on e-mail lists since before there was a web, and, really, there is no comparison to how much more useful 100,000 threaded conversations are in a bulletin

[Flashcoders] Chipmunk-sounding MP3s?

2006-06-24 Thread Josh Santangelo
I've got a presentation engine built which loads up audio/video/text from external files as defined in a presentation XML file. Works fine, of course until the client tries to start changing content. The MP3s they're using are voice-overs encoded at 16kbps mono which play fine in QuickTime

Nevermind, found it myself. As it turns out, the bitrate doesn't matter so much as the sample rate. Flash only supports 11, 22, and 44khz, and seems to freak out otherwise. http://www.sonify.org/home/feature/remixology/004_prepareloops/ page2.html -josh On Jun 24, 2006, at 7:26p, Josh

Hello, I had the same problem this helped clear things up. http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=High_Speed_Play you have to use a sample rate of 44100Hz, I've used 22050Hz with no problems, along with a constant bit rate (CBR) and that will take care of the chipmunks problem.
