[Flashcoders] record audio with flash (offline or online)
Hey guys! Does anyone have suggestions how I would record audio through a microphone with a flash application (think: karaoke app)? This audio can either be saved locally in the form of a projector app or online with a server-side solution. Can this be accomplished with Flash Media Server 2? Will I need additional server-side software? Any offline solutions available? Thanks!

RE: [Flashcoders] v2 Button Label width?
If textWidth returns undefined then it isn't the textfield you are pointing to, whenever you change the text in a textfield it updates the textWidth property. Try using xray to see where the actual textfeild is in the movie.

Setting sizes is not the issue. I need access to the size of the label after running autoSize = left and adding text to the label. I am putting in unknown text into each button and will need to resize them according to the text (Unicode) length. This is mandatory since these buttons are part of a application UI that sizes according to the nationality's current language.

I have searched google, the list, MM/Adobe, help files and my new book, Advanced Components. I cannot seem to figure out how to determine the width of the Label embedded into the v2 Button component. I will be loading many different languages via Unicode into the label and will not know the exact size to set until I have fed the text into it. In looping through its properties I have determined the Label is stored in labelPath. The other option I am trying to avoid is rendering an identical string into an invisible label component to determine its size. The only option I see right now, is using a non-monospaced font.

Re: [Flashcoders] Strange var assignment issues
BUT if I change the line 'var word_mc:MovieClip' to just 'var word_mc', ie remove the type definition It works, so why if I define the type definition for my variable does the assignment break? I'd imagine that the compiler fails to realise that the eval statement could create a MovieClip object. What if instead of using eval you used var word_mc:MovieClip = this[clipid + i]?

[Flashcoders] Problem to load a flashpaper from internet!!
Hello,
I have problems to load a flashpaper via internet. If I load it from
internet, the flash player freezes.
I try this:
loadFlashPaper(http://www.antares.es/demos/etutor/docs/slides.swf,content_mc,
500,500,this);
function onLoaded(){
content_mc._visible=false;
fp = content_mc.getIFlashPaper();
}
function loadFlashPaper(
path_s, // path of SWF to load
dest_mc, // MC which we should replace with the SWF
width_i, // new size of the dest MC
height_i, // new size of the dest MC
loaded_o) // optional: object to be notified that loading is complete
{
var intervalID = 0;
var loadFunc = function() {
dest_mc._visible = false;
var fp = dest_mc.getIFlashPaper();
if (!fp)
return;
if (fp.setSize(width_i, height_i) == false)
return;
dest_mc._visible = true;
clearInterval(intervalID);
loaded_o.onLoaded(fp);
}
intervalID = setInterval(loadFunc, 100);
dest_mc.loadMovie(path_s);
}
But, If I try to load the same file but in local mode, It's run ok.
Any clue?
Thanks in advance!!

Re: [Flashcoders] Game Develop in Flash 8
but if flash it's not supported well 3D so and if I make a fake 3D? You can, but it's a lot of work. (Otherwise everyone would do it). ActionScript is getting faster, but it's still nowhere near as fast as you would need to do fully rendered real-time 3D. And judging by this: there is a way to learn that? to draw and give a feeling of depth? a 3d draw? :D you almost certainly don't know enough about it to achieve anything worthwhile. Far better to go with something that does the hard work for you, Director as I said, or some other 3D engine. Director, I don't know, As I read about, Flash is pratically in every place because of web... Shockwave has a pretty good install base - not as much as Flash, but pretty high (according to Macromedia, about 50% of users can view 3D content on the web with Shockwave: http://www.macromedia.com/software/player_census/shockwaveplayer/). Well, I don't know very much... I see in Flash more praticity to do things as in otherside my experience in 3D, I see it can be a little complicated... when you go more deep in game development... where Director is more used? in the Industry? Director is a very commonly used tool for casual web gaming, especially in 3D. It's not as ubiquitous as Flash, but you can find hundreds of good Director-made games out there. Some good links at http://www.director-3d.com/search.php?topic_id=15 (Incidentally, although I've been plugging Director here, I'm by no means a Director evangelist, I love Flash too.

[Flashcoders] Trying to understandi Live Preview
I have been mucking with this for several days and would love if someone could point me at an up-to-date explanation of how live preview is supposed to be done. I have read about the old style of doing it using onUpdate() and an external .swf. I have watched trace() statements execute my init(), createChildren(), constructors and property setters. I have read posts saying that live preview mode does not support depths (only one depth), which can't be right (more prayerful), because most custom components are going to dynamically add MovieClips and graphics. I have looked at mm_livepreview.as and read through the comments, but am unsure as to how it fits in the scheme of things. Code using attachMovie and loadBitmap to load graphics or bitmaps from the library work in test mode, but return undefined in Live Preview. Why can't I load graphics or bitmaps from the library? Obviously MovieClip symbols show up. Other than the simple triangle sample on the Macromedia web site which uses the old onUpdate/external .swf approach, there seems to be very little on this topic. Please, just point me in the right direction!! Thank you.

That swf worked fine on pc but as soon as we tried to run it on a mac it stoped working. We first thought that we were using the wrong flash player (8 - 7) but no it wasn't that all. One of collagues who works on mac told us the mac has issues with long filenames. At first i was really septical so we run some tests with long and short filenames. It turned out that our collegue was right. the maximum characters for a file name on a mac is 23 characters. if it's any longuer things start breaking... very strange... hope this can help anyone else Seb ___ 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

Re: [Flashcoders] Trying to understandi Live Preview
There was a good blog entry about this but no clue where it is. Here's the 411: - LivePreview in MX 2004 8 expects components to be used - components defined as something that extends mx.core.UIComponent - LivePreview uses that mm_livepreview.as class you found to compile the SWF when you compile your components (SWC, Compiled Clip). - mm_livepreview.as calls setSize; that's why when you scale you're components, they re-size nicely. If you implement a good setSize/size method, then you're livepreview will work good too. - When you compile an SWC, your component is converted into a SWF file amongst other things. The LivePreview uses your ACTUAL compiled component in the SWF to show. In MX and 5 you had to compile these manually. Now, compiled clips and SWC's are handled in the IDE for you. - while you can use onUpdate if you wish, it can feel messy merging livepreview code into your production code. The only solace is if ( _global.isLivePreview ). If that's true, your component is running in the live preview window. - you NEED to have something on frame 1 for the LivePreview to have drawing room. I usually use the standard BoundingBox. It just needs to be 1 x 1 pixel, but I suggest making 100x100 or whatever the default value your component is since bounding box technically sets it. - if you are not using UIComponent, you might want to build the livepreview swf manually... - the LivePreview actually runs a seperate SWF instance in the player. However, this SWF instance somehow shares the same global memory, so other livepreviews can somehow know about variables from other ones. This is because of the magic mm_livepreview.as is doing. I never figured it out. - they cannot see library stuff because they are not FLA's, they are compiled SWF's, and secondly, the Library is not a compiled SWF, it's a set of assets in the binary FLA, not compiled to SWF. The LivePreview is showing yoru compiled component, and any assets in it. If you want it to show something in the LivePreview, put it in the component, and re-compile it to compiled clip or SWC. - Original Message - From: Frederick N.

Re: [Flashcoders] file reference
Can you just put your list of files in an XML file and present that to the user? You can map the file references to wherever you want and provide good descriptions rather than just file names. If you just want the names, you could probably generate the XML index with Ant or some other scripting language. Ron Andreas Rønning wrote: I have an app that takes an xml file and displays it in a certain way. The user needs to be able to choose from a range of XML files, and i thought filereference would let me use a classic browse-window to reference files to be loaded and parsed. However, apparently file.name only gives the bare file name and not a path to the file.

Re: [Flashcoders] Trying to understand Live Preview
Hello Fred, I've answered the similar issues a number of times in February. See in archive of this list: - Component and Live Preview problems - Creating Components - What am I over looking? - Component instantiation- How does dragging affect the constructor 1) read the mm_livepreview.as file very carefully. Read Gary Grossman's comments in it and try to understand what each string of code does. 2) Read Components Dictionary chapter of Using Components in Flash docs. you'll see the differencies of behaviour (in Live Preview) of MM native components. 3) look into source files/code of MM components to see how exactly differencies of p.2 are implemented. 4) make sure you have your own onUpdate and setSize methods defined. Matter is that 2 instances are created for Live Preview, and the 1st one then becomes invisible. Comments for your lines. I have read posts saying that live preview mode does not support depths (only one depth), which can't be right (more prayerful), because most custom components are going to dynamically add MovieClips and graphics. I haven't seen such posts (at least in this list :-). in Live Preview. Why can't I load graphics or bitmaps from the library? Obviously MovieClip symbols show up. A movie in LivePreview (on the stage in IDE) is compiled clip. BTW, are you talking about components (like I do)? As a compiled clip, it can't use any symbols from the _host_ library. It uses it's own library. You may want to clarify what you mean by load graphics or bitmaps from the library. Feel free to ask more questions if you'll have them. -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development. Usability services. ___ Frederick N.

Re: [Flashcoders] Game Develop in Flash 8
well Danny I have some knowledege to programming and to use some 3d softwares (more MAX, and I would like to use Blender more) and I have some books of drawing too that I read a little and well... thinking now, I believe that I have a little notion to do that... but I would appreciate with you have sites has teaching that in flash (Am I searching google too huh? hehehehe) or something to help... anyway... I'll try flash to make 3D-fake games not necessary use actionscript programming in all, but in a what it helps... try and persistance, right? :D and flashcoders :D thanks but if flash it's not supported well 3D so and if I make a fake 3D? You can, but it's a lot of work. (Otherwise everyone would do it). ActionScript is getting faster, but it's still nowhere near as fast as you would need to do fully rendered real-time 3D. And judging by this: there is a way to learn that? to draw and give a feeling of depth? a 3d draw? :D you almost certainly don't know enough about it to achieve anything worthwhile. Far better to go with something that does the hard work for you, Director as I said, or some other 3D engine. Director, I don't know, As I read about, Flash is pratically in every place because of web... Shockwave has a pretty good install base - not as much as Flash, but pretty high (according to Macromedia, about 50% of users can view 3D content on the web with Shockwave: http://www.macromedia.com/software/player_census/shockwaveplayer/). Well, I don't know very much... I see in Flash more praticity to do things as in otherside my experience in 3D, I see it can be a little complicated... when you go more deep in game development... where Director is more used? in the Industry? Director is a very commonly used tool for casual web gaming, especially in 3D. It's not as ubiquitous as Flash, but you can find hundreds of good Director-made games out there. Some good links at http://www.director-3d.com/search.php?topic_id=15 (Incidentally, although I've been plugging Director here, I'm by no means a Director evangelist, I love Flash too.

[Flashcoders] XMLConnectior HTTPS IE problem
All, I have a really odd problem that has manifested itself now that we have moved a data-driven site with a Flash front end to https. The front end is at https://www.vte.cert.org/vte1_5/vtelibrary.html. When you click the 'go' button in the Flash app, it triggers an XMLConnector component that calls a Breeze API to return XML which is then displayed in the grid. The Breeze back end is at https://river.vte.cert.org and has the proper crossdomain.xml file in place (actually the file allows access from * with secure=false). The problem is that if you try this process in Firefox, it works fine. If you try it in IE, it never loads. it worked fine until we put the SSL certificate on the Breeze server (the back end). Now it fails. The flash documentation says that a SWF loaded in a non-https domain will never be able to access content from an https domain, but it works in Firefox so this can't be the problem, and in this case both content sets are loaded under https. I generated a quick tester to see what the error message was in IE. If you go to this page: https://www.vte.cert.org/vte1_5/APITester.html You see that in firefox, the XML loads successfully, but in IE, it fails with a Fault XMLConnector.No.Data.Received Was expecting data from the server, but none was received message. In fact when I look at netstat for the machine, the outbound https connection to river.vte.cert.org never actually initiates. I think it must be possible to have a SWF run an XMLConnector talking to a server in its same domain in IE. It seems that it could be an issue of an IE setting causing the blocked access attempt, some code error on my part that Firefox is more forgiving about, or some Flash security setting that I haven't accounted for. Has anyone ever run in to this?

Eric, Yeah Uhlmann's stuff is incredible, really sophisticated, although I agree with you that it's not as approachable as it could be.

Adding other tween props into a bezier tween in no problem. (Check out fuse at my site mosessupposes.com. It got a warm response at my Flash Forward pres, which was really a great experience.)

[Flashcoders] Finding Next Closest High/Low Number??
I am trying to build a seek forward reverse into a media player, and can grab the current time in seconds. But how would I say, if wanting to seek forward, jump to the next closest chapter marker time. In other words, if the playhead is at 220 and my next chapter marker is at 250 (or reverse). Is there some command like findNextDesendingNumber(220) or similar? ___ 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

RE: [Flashcoders] detect events on an embedded clip
since you have an onRelease in the main MovieClip no events will get called
from the subclips.
also shouldnt the following line of code be reffering to the 'A_mc' instance
and not the myA instance.
var myA:A=new A();
myA.init();
should be:
var A_mc:A=new A();
A_mc.init();

Thats very cool too - but I would like to dynamically affect the position
of

http://www.ericd.net/new_css/img/arc.jpg
Like that - ultimately with more than one object - using a bunch of
them...
Eric - What you're looking for then is probably Penner's pointOnCurve, as
Moses has cited. It's basically this (this is the version I use):
_global.findPointOnCurve = function (p1x, p1y, cx, cy, p2x, p2y, t) {
// Returns the points on a bezier curve for a given time (t is 0-1);
// This is based on Robert Penner's Math.pointOnCurve() function
// More information: http://actionscript-toolbox.com/samplemx_pathguide.php
return {x:p1x + t*(2*(1-t)*(cx-p1x) + t*(p2x - p1x)),
y:p1y + t*(2*(1-t)*(cy-p1y) + t*(p2y - p1y))};
};
You create a curve (like the bezier ones from curveTo) and then pass a
parameter of what point you want from it, from start to end.
However, there's two things worth mentioning:
1. Depending on the curve you're doing, this function will produce odd point
distribution. On a curve as simple as the one you mentioned, you wouldn't
have a problem. But on more acute angles, you would; on this case,
dembicki.org's functions would be better. Ivan (I think that was his name?
sorry) himself has posted on this list a long time ago talking about this
issue and he had examples to show what he meant.
2. If you're just trying to mimic the way OSX's dock works, you don't need
that. You would just have to determine the movieclip scale according to the
mouse position or whatever it is your controller, and then distribute other
movieclips around it, and maybe moving it a bit to the right according to
the mouse distance/scale too. It's a change that is done only to the scale,
not along a curve, but that ultimately gives you this effect.. kinda like
the old Tsunami effect, but slightly less annoying. If you want to properly
align everything on a curve, you will have to do a lot of calculations to
properly distribute elements while still keeping the right distance between
each other. But really, *IF* you're just trying to emulate the dock, you
don't need it.

[Flashcoders] Eolas IE ships and a possible work-around
Sorry for cross-posting this. I put this up on the webdesign-l.com list a
couple of days ago, but I thought that this may be of interest here too.
Original post to webdesign-l.com
Looks like Microsoft has shipped the version of IE that will not properly
interact with flash (and other external multi-media players)
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1932738,00.asp
microsoft's page
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/ove
rview/activating_activex.asp
I have been working on a solution for my site this morning and have come up
with the following code. I was wondering if there are any opinions on this
technique and whether it really works on most browser/platform combinations.
I added the following function to an external .js file that is called by my
pages that have flash on them.
function writeExCtrl(id){
if(document.getElementById document.getElementById(id)
document.getElementById(id).innerHTML){
document.write(document.getElementById(id).innerHTML.replace(/gt;/gi,
'').replace(/lt;/gi, ''));
}
}
Then I wrapped my existing object and embed tags with these lines
noscript id=flash1
Call to flash here
/noscriptscript type=text/javascriptwriteExCtrl('flash1')/script
So that it looks like this
noscript id=flash1
object classid=clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-44455354
codebase=http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.
cab#version=6,0,0,0 width=450 height=12 id=yourID align=middle
param name=allowScriptAccess value=sameDomain /
param name=movie value=yourMovie.swf /
param name=quality value=high /
param name=wmode value=transparent
param name=bgcolor value=#ee /
param name=FlashVars VALUE=x=boby=jim/
embed src=yourMovie.swf FlashVars=x=boby=jim quality=high
bgcolor=#ee width=450 height=12 wmode=transparent
name=yourName align=middle allowScriptAccess=sameDomain
type=application/x-shockwave-flash
pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer; /
/object
/noscriptscript type=text/javascriptwriteExCtrl('flash1')/script
I like this because I don't have to change anything in the code that I use
to embed the flash files. This is nice because some of the code is generated
on the fly.
It seems to work fine on all of the browsers that I have tried it on, but I
would appreciate any other eyes on this.
Also, are there any ways to make this better/faster/smaller?
Just looking for feedback on this
TIA
-Geoffrey

Re: [Flashcoders] Move object along a curve
Eric,
Using the function for a parabola is the easiest way I can think of to
let you drag a clip in an arc (but it's not quite the same as the yepp
example -- you'd need to have the equation for that curve or figure out
how to do it with a bezier for that kind of motion). Here is some code
which will make a square and a parabola and drag the square along that
curve and change its scale and alpha according to where it is (paste
into empty movie to see):
// parabola equation for curve facing left: y**2 = -4ax
function parabola_x(a:Number, y:Number) {
return( 0 - (y * y / (4 * a)) );
}
this.createEmptyMovieClip(s, 2);
s.beginFill(0,100);
s.moveTo(-20,-20);
s.lineTo(20,-20);
s.lineTo(20,20);
s.lineTo(-20,20);
s.endFill();
// vary a to change the shape of the parabola
var a:Number = 50;
this.createEmptyMovieClip(curve, 1);
curve.lineStyle(2, 0x66, 100);
curve.moveTo(200+parabola_x(a, -100), -100);
for (var y=(-90); y100; y+=10) {
curve.lineTo(200+parabola_x(a, y), y);
}
curve._y += 200;
s._x = 200+parabola_x(a, 0);
s._y = 200;
s.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();
this.onMouseMove = function() {
this._x = 200 + parabola_x(a, 200-this._y);
this._xscale = this._yscale = this._alpha = 140 - Math.abs(200 -
this._y);
}
}
s.onRelease = s.onReleaseOutside = function() {
delete this.onMouseMove;
this.stopDrag();
}

and when I move my mouse up/down, affect all three of those, while moving it

Like that - ultimately with more than one object - using a bunch of them...

Eric,
Yeah Uhlmann's stuff is incredible, really sophisticated, although I
agree with you that it's not as approachable as it could be. Robert
Penner wrote a move-on-path thing that's been used in a lot of these
types of products. He da man.
Fuse 1.1 has simple (cubic) bezier functionality, and it's pretty
easy to use because you can pass relative positions for the control
points, much easier than absolute ones. Adding other tween props into
a bezier tween in no problem. (Check out fuse at my site
mosessupposes.com. It got a warm response at my Flash Forward pres,
which was really a great experience.)

Re: [Flashcoders] Move object along a curve, another thought
You could probably approximate the yepp curve by just using the top half
of the parabola, right?

[Flashcoders] Scope issues within a class
I'm attempting to write a class that loads multiple XML files and
broadcasts (even just to the trace window for now) when all the files
are completely loaded. I'm having some trouble with scope when within
the onLoad event of the XML object. Maybe going about this the wrong
way. See the comments witin the code below:
class com.icfconsulting.xml.XLoad{
public var complete:Boolean = false;
public var xmlObjects:Array = new Array();
private var numFiles:Number;
private var xmlFiles:Array;
private var loadCount:Number;
function XLoad(xmlFiles:Array){
this.xmlFiles = xmlFiles;
this.numFiles = this.xmlFiles.length
for(var i=0; ithis.numFiles; i++){
this.xmlObjects[i] = loadXML(i);
}
};
function loadXML(num:Number):XML{
var xmlObject = new XML();
xmlObject.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlObject.loadCount = 0;
xmlObject.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
if(success){
//this works fine for the individual XML files,
but...
//the function on the next line never gets called because of scope (?):
checkComplete();
//so instead tried to set a property of the class instance - the problem
with the //next line is this is the XML instance, not the class - how
to refer to the class??
this.complete = true;
}
}
xmlObject.load(this.xmlFiles[num])
return xmlObject;
};
function checkComplete():Void{
trace(hello?);
loadCount++;
if(this.loadCount == this.numFiles){
trace(all files loaded!);
}
}
}
So what would be a better approach? Or, if I am going down the right
path, then how do I delegate an event when the xmlObject.onLoad has
success for X number of times?
Thanks for any help.

[Flashcoders] XML not rendering in FF 1.5/1.5.0.1
Hello all, I am new to the group and am working on a new version of our mp3 player (custom size for a certain feature) and find that the XML is still not rendering in the textarea component in Firefox 1.5/1.5.0.1. This works in previous versions of Firefox and in IE6.

Re: [Flashcoders] eval gone in AS3, how to get reference to mc via target name?
Boon Chew wrote:
Will getChildByName work with a nested target name (e.g. _level0.mc1.mc2.mc3)?
No, it gets the child with the particular name in the display object
container. You'll want to split the string apart:
// Not tested - but you get the basic idea
var parts:Array = name.split( '.' );
var reference:DisplayObject = root;
for ( var i:int = 0; i parts.length; i++ ) {
reference = reference.getChildByName( parts[ i ] );
}
// use reference here
The above loop is equivalent to:
reference = root.getChildByName( mc1 ).getChildByName( mc2
).getChildByName( mc3 );
-d

Fuse 1.1 has simple (cubic) bezier functionality, and it's pretty easy to use because you can pass relative positions for the control points, much easier than absolute ones. Adding other tween props into a bezier tween in no problem. (Check out fuse at my site mosessupposes.com. It got a warm response at my Flash Forward pres, which was really a great experience.)

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with timeline Script
I guess I didn't make that clear.
