Hello,

I need a tipp for drawing an oval around a dynamic textfield with
variable line numbers and variable width? Perhaps, someone can point
me to a good tutorial dealing with such geometry questions.
The drawOval methods I am using have width and height as parameters,
but of course I can't use width and height of the textfield without a
padding. How can I calculate an i   appropriate padding?
The drawOval methods:

public function drawOval_Old(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number,
height:Number):Void
{
movieClip.lineStyle(lw, lc, la);
movieClip.moveTo(x,y+height/2);
movieClip.curveTo(x,y,x+width/2, y);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width,y,x+width, y+height/2);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width,y+height, x+width/2, y+height);
movieClip.curveTo(x,y+height, x, y+height/2);
}

public function drawOval(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number):Void
{
x+=width/2;
y+=height/2;
width/=2;
height/=2;
var j:Number = width * 0.70711;
var n:Number = height * 0.70711;
var i:Number = j - (height - n) * width/height;
var m:Number = n - (width - j) * height/width;
movieClip.lineStyle(lw, lc, la);
movieClip.moveTo(x+width, y);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width, y-m, x+j, y-n);
movieClip.curveTo(x+i, y-height, x, y-height);
movieClip.curveTo(x-i, y-height, x-j, y-n);
movieClip.curveTo(x-width, y-m, x-width, y);
movieClip.curveTo(x-width, y+m, x-j, y+n);
movieClip.curveTo(x-i, y+height, x, y+height);
movieClip.curveTo(x+i, y+height, x+j, y+n);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width, y+m, x+width, y);
}

SV: [Flashcoders] Creating a SWF to dynamically create SWF';s

2006-10-05 Thread Johan Karlsson

If you load external images when they are to be displayed the will not put 
weight on the until that is current. And if someone chooses to end the course 
prematurely images used later in the course won't hit the bandwidth at all.

And finally when an image is loaded once, it should be in the browser cache. 
(Unless the user for some reason has turned it off). So they should only hit 
the bandwidth once and then never again. That is assuming the swf runs in a 
browser of course.

But of course if the images are really simple it could be better to draw them 
using the drawing API. If not any dynamic creation of the images will probably 
create a higher payload then just loading the images on demand.

Hi Jason,

That was the initial understanding with which I entered the project, now
they don't want to do that because of the server load and bandwidth if 200
learners access the course simultaneously...

They want the learner to download the course in one go (a smaller swf
hopefully), and then work through it at their own speed.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Don

RE: [Flashcoders] geometry // oval around text

2006-10-05 Thread Danny Kodicek


 Hello,

 variable line numbers and variable width? Perhaps, someone can point
 me to a good tutorial dealing with such geometry questions.
 The drawOval methods I am using have width and height as parameters,
 but of course I can't use width and height of the textfield without a

Hi,

Assuming your bezier curve is at least an approximate ellipse (I haven't
done the maths to be sure), here's how you can find an ellipse that contains
a particular rectangle. Suppose the rectangle has half-width w and
half-height h. You want an ellipse of half-width a and half-height b such
that the point (w,h) lies on it (assume it's centred on (0,0): you can add
the x,y coordinates at the end). The locus of a point P on an ellipse
aligned with the axes is:

P = (a * cos(t), b * sin(t)), where t lies between 0 and 2*pi (we only need
to think about t between 0 and pi/2, though).

So we need to find a and b such that a*cos(t) = w and b*sin(t) = h, for some
t. Notice that since we've got three variables and two equations, there are
an infinite number of possible solutions. If you pick any value of t between
0 and pi/2, you can simply read off the values of a and b as a = w/cos(t), b
= h/sin(t). So the only tricky bit is choosing a value of t that makes your
ellipse fit the rectangle reasonably tightly. I think I'd do it ideally by
trying to minimise the value of (a-w)^2 + (b-h)^2, thus minimising the
distance of the extremes from the rectangle edges, but that's a bit ugly. In
practice, I think you could do it by choosing t based on the ratio w/h (try
w*(pi/4)/h if wh, pi/4 + h*(pi/4)/w if wh as a first thought, but I
haven't tried it)

HTH

RE: [Flashcoders] Creating a SWF to dynamically create SWF';s

2006-10-05 Thread Marc Hoffman

It's late, and I may not be thinking clearly, but it seems to me that 
the effect on server load and bandwidth is going to be the same 
whether those 200 learners download the whole swf in one go or they 
download it as they work their way through the course (well, I guess 
if they're going to revisit and replay the course, then it DOES save 
bandwidth for them to download once and play back locally, but not if 
the assets are cached).


The critical thing for keeping the size down is managing the asset 
sizes, particularly bitmaps, audio, and video. And I would be frank 
with the client, and give them examples of those assets compressed to 
different levels, so they can see what the trade-offs are -- either 
they compress things more (poorer quality), or use fewer assets, or 
stretch out the timeline so less bandwidth is used. The options are 
limited, and the reality may be that the client is not equipped to 
deliver to as many learners as anticipated, and may have to bite the 
bullet and pay for more server bandwidth.

Re: [Flashcoders] geometry // oval around text


Hello Danny,

thank you, that sounds great. I'll take a closer look at your
formulas. I also thought of a nearing solution that uses the ratio of
textfieldWidth and textfieldHeight. I was drawing different rectangles
on a paper in front of me and surrounding them with ovals. :-) I don't
want a mathematical perfect solution, I just need a good
approximation.

Thank you,

RE: [Flashcoders] Creating a SWF to dynamically create SWF';s

2006-10-05 Thread Merrill, Jason

200

They want the learner to download the course in one go 

Wow, that isn't very good reasoning on their part, and quite obtuse if
they supposedly know much about webservers.  If 200 users access the
course simultaneously, and it's all in one big .swf, that's much much
harder on the server than a single small .swf with external media files
which load on demand.  Either way, data is data.  It may be *slightly*
compressed as 100% .swf format, but not enough to relieve the server and
cause any noticeable difference from a user or server perspective.  From
a user perspective, they are going to see a lng download and then
the course, instead of an instant download and the content on-demand.
Putting all your content in one .swf is just a bad idea in my opinion -
from all three perspectives of the developer, the IT Admin, and the
user.  I guess, you still haven't convinced me this has to all be in one
.swf.  :)

RE: [Flashcoders] geometry // oval around text

2006-10-05 Thread Andreas Weber

Instead of re-inventing the wheel (which can be a lot of fun!) you might
find it easier to use an already existing Spline class, e.g. my CatmullRom
Spline:

http://www.motiondraw.com/md/as_samples/t/CatmullRomSpline/closedShape.html

The advantage is that you can just pass in the corner points of the
textfield (or, if you want some 'padding', it's easy to calculate the
corners of the outer rectangle) - the spline will automatically curve
through these points.


If you are interested in the Math of Splines, don't miss the in-depth
tutorials by Jim Armstrong:

Subject: [Flashcoders] geometry // oval around text


Hello,

I need a tipp for drawing an oval around a dynamic textfield with variable
line numbers and variable width? Perhaps, someone can point me to a good
tutorial dealing with such geometry questions. The drawOval methods I am
using have width and height as parameters, but of course I can't use width
and height of the textfield without a
padding. How can I calculate an i   appropriate padding?
The drawOval methods:

public function drawOval_Old(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number,
height:Number):Void {
movieClip.lineStyle(lw, lc, la);
movieClip.moveTo(x,y+height/2);
movieClip.curveTo(x,y,x+width/2, y);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width,y,x+width, y+height/2);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width,y+height, x+width/2, y+height);
movieClip.curveTo(x,y+height, x, y+height/2);
}

public function drawOval(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number,
height:Number):Void {
x+=width/2;
y+=height/2;
width/=2;
height/=2;
var j:Number = width * 0.70711;
var n:Number = height * 0.70711;
var i:Number = j - (height - n) * width/height;
var m:Number = n - (width - j) * height/width;
movieClip.lineStyle(lw, lc, la);
movieClip.moveTo(x+width, y);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width, y-m, x+j, y-n);
movieClip.curveTo(x+i, y-height, x, y-height);
movieClip.curveTo(x-i, y-height, x-j, y-n);
movieClip.curveTo(x-width, y-m, x-width, y);
movieClip.curveTo(x-width, y+m, x-j, y+n);
movieClip.curveTo(x-i, y+height, x, y+height);
movieClip.curveTo(x+i, y+height, x+j, y+n);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width, y+m, x+width, y);
}

[Flashcoders] Re: setting global TextInput Styles v2

2006-10-05 Thread Michael


2006/10/5, Michael Stuhr [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

how do i set global textinput styles for the v2 components if i want a 
different focusIn and
focusOut style ?

micha



hmm, i'm currently trying to use focusManger (i know, i know !) - the
docs say that it inherits the Events from UIComponent, but it seems it
does not:

here's what i have tried:

function onComponentFocusIn (evt:Object)
{
var c = evt.target;
trace (c[i].className); // doesn't fire ?
if (c[i].className == TextInput || c.className == TextArea ) {
// setting style here
}
}
function onComponentFocusOut (evt:Object)
{
var c = evt.target;
if (c[i].className == TextInput || c.className == TextArea ) {
//setting style here
}
}
focusManager.addEventListener ('focusIn', onComponentFocusIn);
focusManager.addEventListener ('focusIn', onComponentFocusOut);

maybe there's another focusManager flying around which i can use.

if anyone has an idea ...

[Flashcoders] Scrollpane thumb problem

2006-10-05 Thread Mendelsohn, Michael

Hi list...

I have a scrollpane component whose content is a movie clip with a
changing height, so the vertical scrollbar appears/hides when necessary.
(vScrollPolicy = auto)

The problem is when the vertical scrollbar appears: the draggable thumb
is drawn too high, overlapping the up button.  Only if I call the event
which draws the vScrollBar twice in a row does the scrollbar thumb
adjust itself to the correct position.  Anyone encounter this problem?
Below is what I'm trying to figure out for preventing this
too-high-thumb, but nothing's working.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

// adjust scrollbar
ui.m.contentPanel.invalidate();
ui.m.contentPanel.vPosition = 0;
ui.m.contentPanel.redraw(true);
ui.m.contentPanel.onEnterFrame = function() {
ui.m.contentPanel.scrollPosition = 0;
// also, the line below doesn't seem to work
ui.m.contentPanel.onEnterFrame = undefined;
};

Thanks,
- Michael M.

[Flashcoders] Weak bounce easing equation

2006-10-05 Thread Jake Prime


Hi

Is there anywhere I can find a greater range of Penner type easing
equations than are normally around? Specifically I want a much weaker
bounce than the usual easeOutBounce. All my searches come up with
the same basic equations.

I have tried editing the bounce function resulting in something
looking more like a teleporting UFO than a bouncing ball :o)

Thanks

Take a look at the Tween class and its various easing methods documented

variety there, and you can control many facets about the tween.

Unless I'm missing something, you don't get any control over the
quantity of bounce there. The only thing it depends on is the distance
travelled. If I want to tween a movieclip quite a long way, but only
want a small bounce effect I can't see how to do that.

IIf I can't find a pre-written easing equation, it's not the end of
the world, I can always just string together a few normal tweens one
after the other to create the same effect. Always nice to do it in one
line if you can though :o)

RE: [Flashcoders] Weak bounce easing equation

2006-10-05 Thread Mendelsohn, Michael

You could probably tween something using the None easing method for a
long distance, giving it linear movement, then when the tween is done,
call onMotionFinished, and give it a new tween, but this time, over a
short distance, and with bounces.  I don't think you can control the
amount of bounces.

[Flashcoders] RE: VitalStream Bandwidth detection

2006-10-05 Thread Brian Weil

I solved this. This is actually part of the final solution. The problem is,
the code returns an empty value for onBWCheck and onBWcomplete never fires.
I finally discovered the key piece of code after a lot of trial and error.
There is a boolean being passed to the server in the following code:

//We have the stream, app and server, call the connect function
VSConnect(serverName, appName, true, streamName);

That third argument is a switch that tells the server to check the users
bandwidth or not. In the example provided by VitalStream it was set to false
so the bandwidth check was never performed by the server. Once I switched it
to true the variable p_bw does contain the users bandwidth and it was a
breeze from there. Just an if statement comparing p_bw to the bitrate of the
encoded .flv files. Now everything is working great. 

It's funny I had a support ticket open with VitalStream for about one month
going back and forth on this issue. They insisted that their was no
bandwidth detection in their code and I would have to write the code myself
but I could see parts of the bandwidth detection code in their source. It
was as simple as switching a variable from false to true to make it work. I
hope this helps someone else with the same issue.

Brian

 looks like bwcheck to me. i'd just use p_bw in a condition where p_bw is
detected bandwidth.

 if p_bw is less than than x play stream1, else if p_bw is greater than x
and less than y play stream2, else play stream3. 
ie. stream1=56kbps; stream2=150kbps; stream3=300kbps;

 i usually run the bwcheck on an interval several times and get an average
bw figure to go by and even dynamically change streams-- you can do it
seemlessly by bookmarking ns.time and seeking to it once new stream has
loaded.

Hoping you can elaborate just a bit with this... I've created just a simple 
test movie for this just using code in the timeline.
I have a movieclip 'myBox', which is 50X100, and located at 0,0 on the 
stage. Then I put a circle movie clip 'myDot', which hopefully will be 
following that bottom center point I'm trying to get at. Taking your 
example, this is what it comes to:

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Find point after rotation


Lets say I have a rectangle (height  width). I need to know the bottom 
middle point. That would be point(clipWidth / 2, clipHeight).


So we'll say:
var x = clipWidth / 2;
var y = clipHeight;


Closest I've gotten is using:
x=ClipWidth / 2 + Math.cos(angle)
y=ClipWidth / 2 - Math.sin(angle)


That's pretty close already -- it's what you would use to draw a
circle (by iterating the angle and connecting the resulting dots).

What you need is those two values:
var cos = Math.cos( angle );
var sin = Math.sin( angle );

Then do the following with x and y from above (your vector for the
rotation matrix):
var rotX = cos * x - sin * y;
var rotY = sin * x + cos * y;

rotX and rotY are your coordinates (relative to the rectangle clip's
position on its parent clip).

One more thing:
_rotation is stored as one byte, so it's rounded to 360 / 255. That's
something you will have to take in account for the angle if you want
to be exact, easiest would be to read the angle from the _rotation
property after you've changed that.

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating a SWF to dynamically create SWF';s

2006-10-05 Thread Robert r. Sanders

As a point of comparision we do eLearning, making heavy use of Flash 
video; it is fairly typical for one of our courses to top 100MB, or 
approx. 20x what your dealing with.


I think there is some confusion (possibly on the part of your client) as 
to how the web works; so I'll provide the alternatives.


1. User loads a small SWF which then loads an XML file; these typically 
stay resident in the browser cache for a while.  As the user interacts 
with the SWF, and based on the XML content, this triggers the SWF to 
download images and/or audio, etc.. from the web server as needed.  In 
effect the SWF is acting as a (limited) custom web browser running 
inside the web browser.  This is what you originally planned on (I 
think); total file size ~6MB, but downloaded in a just-in-time mode, a 
file at a time, so if 200 users are online at once, the chances of them 
actually sync'ing their mouse clicks (or whatever) and triggering 
downloads in parallel are really, really small.


2. User downloads a large SWF which contains all content (XML, images, 
audio, etc...); total size (guess) ~5MB, but this happens in one big 
piece; much higher chance (although still fairly small) that users all 
hit the file/site at the same time.


3. Pipe-dream: User loads a small SWF in their browser which (magically) 
programmatically re-creates all the assets needed on the client side 
using algorithms (for some types of relatively repetitive stuff this can 
be made to work).  Note that in this case you are NOT building the 
images and audio into the SWF, but instead creating algorithms which can 
generate various pieces of content as needed.  See - 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene for more info on the concept.

Hi Jason,

That was the initial understanding with which I entered the project, now
they don't want to do that because of the server load and bandwidth if 200
learners access the course simultaneously...

They want the learner to download the course in one go (a smaller swf
hopefully), and then work through it at their own speed.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Keep all images external and just reference them in the XML.  Then your .swf

Re: [Flashcoders] Weak bounce easing equation

2006-10-05 Thread Bart Wttewaall


You can control the quantity of the bounce to some extend by using the
last two optional arguments in Elastic. I played with them for a bit,
but couldn't tweak it to the point where it behaves as the animation
you described.

Hope it helps.. Godd luck!

-- code --

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.Elastic;

var obj = mc;
var time = 0;
var prop = _x;
var begin = obj[prop];
var end = begin + 400;
var change = end-begin;
var duration = 5;
var fps = 31;
var done = false;

var a = change * 2; // looks like some sort of multiplier on the swing
var p = (duration*fps) * 0.3; // magnetic force (lower = faster)

onEnterFrame = function() {
if (time  duration*fps) {
obj[prop] = Elastic.easeOut(time++, begin, change, 
duration*fps, a, p);
} else {
time = 0;
}
}

2006/10/5, Mendelsohn, Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

You could probably tween something using the None easing method for a
long distance, giving it linear movement, then when the tween is done,
call onMotionFinished, and give it a new tween, but this time, over a
short distance, and with bounces.  I don't think you can control the
amount of bounces.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to create a preloader that plays in full


Thanks for the sarcasm but I am not just trying to create a simple

create a preloader that has two functions: 1) to preload the movie (of
coarse) and 2) to play the entire preloader's timeline even if the
movie has already been preloaded. It's the second part that I am
having trouble with.

A traditional preloader plays until the movie has been loaded.
Instead, I want the preloader to play in entirely even if the movie
has already been loaded. This way, the preloader is not just a
progress bar but an element of the movie.

I hope that makes sense.

I'm getting the same crazy, I don't know what's going on results using this.
Is there something I'm missing?


Yeah -- and without that, none of your previous attempts had a chance
to succeed. :)

_rotation takes degrees, i.e., where a full circle is 360. Math.sin
and Math.cos take radians, where a full circle is 2 * Math.PI. You
have to convert:

var rad = r / 180 * Math.PI;

then:

var c = Math.cos( rad );
var s = Math.sin( rad );

That's all. Sorry, I should have mentioned it.

RE: [Flashcoders] How to create a preloader that plays in full

2006-10-05 Thread Pete Miller

A preloader by definition is a short, small movie that loops endlessly
until the swf is completely loaded; the load-end stops the movie.

You're describing a movie that wants to end when it reaches its last
frame.  What does it have to do with the load process?  You cannot
guarantee which will end first, the movie or the load, so you need to
know what you want to happen in either case depending on which event
happens first.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to create a preloader that plays in full

2006-10-05 Thread Marc Hoffman


Hi Aaron,

By my definition, a preloader plays until the rest of the content is 
sufficiently loaded for the .swf to stream at the user's bandwidth. 
If you just want something to play in its entirety, you're talking 
about an introduction, which is created the same as any other Flash 
content. If you need something that will play all the way through but 
then do some sort of waiting if the rest of the content isn't 
sufficiently loaded, then you're back to the concept of inserting a 
preloader. So you see, it's either an intro (which plays through once 
and moves on to the main content), a preloader (which plays until 
content is sufficiently loaded) or a combination of both.


The tour started by showing a golf ball traveling in a loop. Each 
time the ball got close to the hole, the swf evaluated whether the 
main content had sufficiently loaded. If the enough content was 
loaded, the ball fell into the hole with a nice clunk sound, and 
the main content played. On the other hand, if the main content 
wasn't ready, the golf ball travelled back to its starting point and 
then looped to the hole again, where it would once again check 
loading status. So the ball would always travel at least to the hole, 
and the main content would never play without the user seeing the 
ball fall into the hole. The ball traveling to the hole is the intro 
part. The ball looping continuously until the content is ready is the 
preloader part.

I hope that makes sense.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to create a preloader that plays in full

2006-10-05 Thread Marcelo Wolfgang


Just from the top of my head here, so excuse if anything is wrong

but couldn't you put at the end of the preload animation something like

stop();
if (getBytesLoaded() == getBytesTotal()){
 play();
} else {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
  if (getBytesLoaded() == getBytesTotal()){
delete this.onEnterFrame
play ();
  }

A preloader by definition is a short, small movie that loops endlessly
until the swf is completely loaded; the load-end stops the movie.

You're describing a movie that wants to end when it reaches its last
frame.  What does it have to do with the load process?  You cannot
guarantee which will end first, the movie or the load, so you need to
know what you want to happen in either case depending on which event
happens first.

[Flashcoders] centering printed content

2006-10-05 Thread Jim Gay

I'm trying to center my printJob content and I'm unable to do it on  
the printed page.
Is there some kind of limitation on centering the content on the  
actual printed page?


Thanks for any help.

Here's the code:

print_btn.onRelease = function() {
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var success = pj.start();
var ratio;
if(success) {
if(pj.pageHeight  pj.pageWidth) {
ratio = pj.pageWidth/cert._width*100;
} else {
ratio = pj.pageHeight/cert._height*100;
}
cert._xscale = ratio;
cert._yscale = ratio;
cert._x = (pj.pageWidth - cert._width)/2;
cert._y = (pj.pageHeight - cert._height)/2;
pj.addPage(cert, {}, {printAsBitmap:true}, 1);
pj.send();
}
delete pj;
resetCert(); //sets it back to normal
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash based desktop mate

2006-10-05 Thread Steven Sacks | BLITZ

 it would need to be a full screen projector file

Why would it need to be a full screen projector file?

mProjector's alpha performance on Windows is the best there is.  
http://www.thespringbox.com/  uses mProjector and has alpha
transparency.

If you want to be able to move something around the screen, you can move
it around the screen by setting the window's x and y position.  You
don't need to make it a full screen application.  If you want multiple
things to appear in different places anywhere on the screen, you open up
new mProjector windows and communicate to those using mProjector's API.
It's all supported and well documented.  You don't need to make it a
full screen application to achieve those things.  :)

[Flashcoders] BitmapData size limit

Anyone know why the 2880 pixel limit for either width or height of a  
BitmapData object?


If the intention is to limit the amount of memory required (2880 X  
2880 pixels would require about 24 Mb), then the limit should be on  
the total size of the image surely. Or is there some other reason for  
this that someone can explain?


I wanted to create an image object 3500 X 300 pixels which will take  
up about 4 Mb - but I can't.


Any thoughts?

Try Timothée Groleau's brilliant Easing Function Generator - by dragging

[Flashcoders] flv not playing in IE with Flash 9


Ok, simple issue really, and I seem to have found evidence of other
people experiencing it as well - just no answers posted to their pleas
for help :)

I have a flash video (the player swf is compiled for flash 8) that
should be visible at the bottom of http://walk-ez.com/fans.aspx.

And it is visible. Under Firefox and Opera. Under IE, it does not work
on machines with flash 9, only those that have yet to be upgraded from
8.

I've tried with and without fla-i mean swfobject, with and without
various parameters being passed in to the swf, and off of a variety of
servers. None of this seems to make any sort of difference.

Thoughts? Is this a known issue?

When people say it dont work and others know it does, it's hard for 
others to help. Normal troubleshooting helps more (some-or-all-files, 
some-or-all-sessions, the usual stuff.)

You're using a JavaScript routine to write the tags. When you do a test 
file with straight OBJECT/EMBED markup, then do you see that content in 
that browser? That's the quickest way to start finding where the

I'm sorry, I thought I was clearer than that. By without swfobject I
meant that I had also tried manually as well:

object 
codebase=http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0;
width=360 height=320 id=VideoPreview align=middle
param name=allowScriptAccess value=sameDomain /
param name=movie value=swf/VideoPreview.swf /
param name=quality value=high /
param name=bgcolor value=#ff /
embed src=swf/VideoPreview.swf
quality=high
bgcolor=#ff
width=360 height=320
name=VideoPreview align=middle
allowScriptAccess=sameDomain
type=application/x-shockwave-flash
pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer; /
/object

(URL for this snippet on my dev server is at
http://enemyhideout.com/walkez/VideoPreview.html)

Again. This works fine in Firefox and in IE/Flash8. But in IE/Flash9,
flash loads, I'm just getting a contentless box.

My point was that I'm not finding _anything_ that makes a difference
other than flash player version.

Re: [Flashcoders] BitmapData size limit


Thanks for your response Micha

this has to with other things. the 2880 px stuff is related  to one  
single object, you can have as much object of that size as you  
want, as long as you have enough ram.
I wanted to create an image object 3500 X 300 pixels which will  
take  up about 4 Mb - but I can't
sure you can't. you gave your answer in the above quoted text.  
your  limitation is 2880 px square. and 3500 beats that.



No I didn't give the answer. I can understand why 2880 X 2880 might  
be considered excessively big, but to have 2880 pixels as a limit for  
a single dimension is silly - unless there is some other reson I  
don't yet understand. And if another reason exists, then I want to  
understand what it is.
For example, if I have an image object 2881 X 10 pixels, that would  
be only about 280 kb. Why can't I create such an object?


I don't want to scale my image up because I  know it will degrade.

Thanks

David

just scale it down to 2880 and you should be fine, than you can put  
it in a mc and scale that one up. that should do the trick.

I'm sorry, I thought I was clearer than that. By without swfobject I
meant that I had also tried manually as well:

object
codebase=http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0;

width=360 height=320 id=VideoPreview align=middle
param name=allowScriptAccess value=sameDomain /
param name=movie value=swf/VideoPreview.swf /
param name=quality value=high /
param name=bgcolor value=#ff /
embed src=swf/VideoPreview.swf
quality=high
bgcolor=#ff
width=360 height=320
name=VideoPreview align=middle
allowScriptAccess=sameDomain
type=application/x-shockwave-flash
pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer; /
/object

(URL for this snippet on my dev server is at
http://enemyhideout.com/walkez/VideoPreview.html)

Again. This works fine in Firefox and in IE/Flash8. But in IE/Flash9,
flash loads, I'm just getting a contentless box.

My point was that I'm not finding _anything_ that makes a difference
other than flash player version.

If you can't see other SWF in that browser, then that's a clue.

Sigh. And here I was wasting my time trying to be polite to you. YES I
could see other SWF's in that browser. Sheesh.

Anyways. Resolution to the problem has been achieved. In stead of hard
coding the flv into the swf, we're passing it in as an argument when
instantiating it from the html. And it works.

There seems to be an issue with directory locations. The flv was
trying to load relative to the swf, NOT the html file. So why this
happens in flash 9 for IE, I don't know, nor do I care any more at
this point. But the incident has been logged for future reference when
we encounter the bug again.

Re: [Flashcoders] BitmapData size limit

2006-10-05 Thread Bill Brown


Dave,

I'm not sure if this is appropriate for your application, but I ran into a
similar problem when creating a project using high-quality panoramic photos.
The way I worked around it was by slicing up my image into 2880 px tiles,
then re-assembling them with actionscript on the stage.

Cheers,
BB

Thanks for your response Micha

 this has to with other things. the 2880 px stuff is related  to one
 single object, you can have as much object of that size as you
 want, as long as you have enough ram.
 I wanted to create an image object 3500 X 300 pixels which will
 take  up about 4 Mb - but I can't
 sure you can't. you gave your answer in the above quoted text.
 your  limitation is 2880 px square. and 3500 beats that.


No I didn't give the answer. I can understand why 2880 X 2880 might
be considered excessively big, but to have 2880 pixels as a limit for
a single dimension is silly - unless there is some other reson I
don't yet understand. And if another reason exists, then I want to
understand what it is.
For example, if I have an image object 2881 X 10 pixels, that would
be only about 280 kb. Why can't I create such an object?

 just scale it down to 2880 and you should be fine, than you can put
 it in a mc and scale that one up. that should do the trick.

Re: [Flashcoders] BitmapData size limit

2006-10-05 Thread Charles Parcell


It is a hard limit of object within Flash. It is similar to the hard limit
of image sizes within Director as well. It has nothing to do with memory use
but rather they way the app and player were programmed.
