Re: [FlashCoders] XRay _global tree
Hi John, I'm using connector 1.6.1 and the 1.2.5 interface. I just made a really simple example for you to test. It doesn't have any classes, so no _global.com, but I'm having the same issue with _level0, I can only take a snapshot of _level0. If I type _level0.squares (or select the movieclip squares from the _level0 tree) and then press the snapshot button, it doesn't work.

RE: [Flashcoders] Changing the Volume of a loaded FLV
Karim, Are you using the FLVPlayback component? If you are then you need to apply the volume to the FLVPlayback Object not create a new sound object.

and then have function

dont forgot the e:Event parameter in enterFrame, it will cause an error if

include that. Also, read the API ref, it's over here:

[Flashcoders] Reliable local FLV stop event
I know this is an old question but i can't really seem to get a good
grasp of it.
I have a client that loads FLVs locally off the machine it runs on. When
movies stop, events get broadcasted. however sometimes the stop event i
set up fails:
onStatus = function(info){
switch(info.code){
case NetStream.Play.Start:
stopped = false;
break;
case NetStream.Buffer.Empty:
if(stopped){
broadcastMessage(onVideoComplete);
}
break;
case NetStream.Play.Stop:
stopped = true;
break;
}
}
On tracing out info.code onStatus, i see that buffer.empty and
buffer.full flicker on and off during playback, and that gets me
worried. Sometimes Play.stop is called before the buffer has played out,
but buffer.flush and buffer.empty right now seem so unreliable in terms
of actually firing at the end of the FLV that i'm confused as to how to
even approach this.
Anyone got a solid, sound solution?
Thanks,
- Andreas SJ

[Flashcoders] Synchronizing multiple flvs
I am looking to find out if anyone has experience in splitting an FLV into multiple parts and then playing them back whereas the the timing is seamless? The reason I ask is I need to create a picture tile game which is easy enough but the client came back with this where 15 tiles playing the same flv broken into different pieces need to be unscrambled and the result would be one big video. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [Flashcoders] Reliable local FLV stop event
Yes it's bizarre that there isn't an out-of-box solution for this. I came
across the same problem a while ago. The solution I came across was to check
if the play head is not moving while the movie is supposed to be still
playing (that is, not paused or stopped).
For this you need to set a lastCheck property, which needs to be set to 0
every time you start a movie (but not from paused), or manually stop it, and
while the movie is playing, you need to keep checking it using an interval
or enterFrame event.
The function you need is this:
public function checkStatus(){
//_global.tt(checkStatus, movie_flv.playing,
movie_flv.playheadTime, lastCheck)
if (play_btn.selected movie_flv.playheadTime
movie_flv.playheadTime == lastCheck){
stopMovie()
}else{
lastCheck = movie_flv.playheadTime;
}
}
To set the function into context, I pasted the entire class below.
It worked like a charm, but my class is using custom buttons and commands to
play the movie. I'm not sure how I'd integrate it with Adobe controller
components. For example, you might need to devise a different check instead
of play_btn.selected.

If the tiles were small enough this could be something you could do with bitmapData - ie. Copying the image data from a master video (offstage) into each of the tiles as it's played.

I want to consider hiring you to do the menu, but need to clarify what would be involved to meet my specs. I also want you to know that the client needs to sign off on the nav design (though it's virtually the same as the site they wanted to look like), so unless this would be a really simple, low-cost job, I'd probably do a rough mockup pending client approval.

server.

Re: [Flashcoders] Reliable local FLV stop event
Hi,
if I remember correctly, when using a streaming server, and a buffer of for
example 10 seconds, the NetStream.Play.Stop would trigger just fine 10
SECONDS BEFORE the actual end of the flv:)
So you end up waiting for an empty buffer after the stop event etc etc

I'm unpacking MX's swc files using a python script I whipped up (which I can provide if anyone's interested), and my swfml file looks like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? movie width=640 height=480 framerate=30 frame library clip id=Alert import=components/ Alert.swf/ clip id=CheckBox import=components/ CheckBox.swf/ /library /frame /movie I'm then attaching the components using createClassObject(): var check:CheckBox = root.createClassObject(CheckBox, 'check', root.getNextHighestDepth()); Am I doing anything wrong?

[Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive
I've got a project that consists of a projector that plays some externally loaded flv's. Not a big deal right...Well here's the problem. When the projector is launched from a local drive all plays fine. But when we try to run the projector from a network drive or USB drive the videos don't play and we get a blank screen. Any ideas?

[Flashcoders] ComboBox,Depth, Draw API - Bug?
Is this a bug? Try the sample code out below -
Why is it that if you specify an explicit depth for a movie clip (SEE
LINE 2 OF THE FIRST SET OF CODE BELOW) and draw on it with the draw API,
and a comboBox made later with a depth of getNextHighestDepth() will
have a drop down which displays over the drawn portion of the movie clip
AS EXPECTED, but when you use getNextHighestDepth() on the movie clip
(SEE LINE 2 OF THE SECOND SET OF CODE BELOW), the comboBox's dropdown is
BEHIND the drawn portions of the clip, even though the depth of the clip
is greater???
So in other words, this:
//CODE SAMPLE #1
import mx.controls.ComboBox;
mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip(triangle, 1);
mc.beginFill(0x00aaFF, 100);
mc.lineStyle(4, 0xFF, 100);
mc.moveTo(0, 0);
mc.lineTo(100, 100);
mc.lineTo(0, 100);
mc.lineTo(0, 0);
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.ComboBox, my_cb,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
for (i = 0; i 7; i++) {
my_cb.addItem({label:i});
}
trace(mc depth: +mc.getDepth());
trace(my_cb. depth: +my_cb.getDepth());
//cb depth is higher than mc as expected
Vs. this:
//CODE SAMPLE #2 (only diff. from CODE 1 is line 2)
import mx.controls.ComboBox;
mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip(triangle, this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.beginFill(0x00aaFF, 100);
mc.lineStyle(4, 0xFF, 100);
mc.moveTo(0, 0);
mc.lineTo(100, 100);
mc.lineTo(0, 100);
mc.lineTo(0, 0);
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.ComboBox, my_cb,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
for (i = 0; i 7; i++) {
my_cb.addItem({label:i});
}
trace(mc depth: +mc.getDepth());
trace(my_cb. depth: +my_cb.getDepth());
//cb depth is higher than mc as expected,
//yet drop down is drawn BEHIND mc!
Is this a bug with ComboBox? Is there any way to get the comboBox's
dropdown in front of drawn content on mc while using
getNextHighestDepth() for mc?

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox,Depth, Draw API - Bug?
Try tracing the value that you get from getNextHighestDepth(). If the
result is 1048575, you are incorporating v2.0 components, which causes
getNextHighestDepth() to be less than useful. Use DepthManager instead.

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox,Depth, Draw API - Bug?
Thanks Pete - that looks indeed to be the issue. I am using the V2 ComboBox and the depth is above that number. I'll try out mx.managers.DepthManager.kTop or mx.managers.DepthManager.kTopmost and see if I can get it to work. Thanks for the link. Basically, I have a comboBox above a colorPicker movieClip I made with lineTo functions, and the dropdown appears below the colorPicker even though the depth of the ComboBox is higher.

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox,Depth, Draw API - Bug?
Hmm... I have been playing with the DepthManager class, alternatively
trying:
my_cb = DepthManager.createClassObjectAtDepth(mx.controls.ComboBox,
DepthManager.kCursor);
and setting the drawn on mc to HighestDepth
or creating the ComboBox at usual depth and setting the depth of the
movieClip being drawn on to DepthManager.kCursor and other static depths
of the DepthManager class, with no luck. I can create the class object,
but it still remains behind the drawn on movie clips.
Any ideas?

RE: [Flashcoders] Publish / Live Preview resize issue of customcomponent extending movieClip
wow,
I struggled with this as well.
I have this working for all my custom components, albeit it is tough as heck to
get just right.
I have basic: class XX extends MovieClip {...}
I have a clear seperation of the constructor and an init() function like you
have. The init function is what draws the actual component.
The reason your text changes size is because it's changing the scale of the
live-preview movie. You need to add to the actionscript of the livepreview .fla
the following:
obj = new Object ();
obj.onResize = function () {
MCREFERENCE.__width = Stage.width;
MCREFERENCE.__height = Stage.height;
MCREFERENCE.init();
// or try your .draw() function in here.
}
Stage.addListener (obj);
The MCREFERENCE is basically the empty MC that is the reference to itself
when a live-preview is instantiate in the stage. This is confusing as heck, but
it's how you can control the live-preview component on the stage. The __width
and __height are the dimensions to use when redrawing via init(). I use this
instead of _width/_height because of sizing issues when I use the draw
functionality.
You basically need to completely redraw the entire live preview MC in the
init() function. I call all sorts of .clear() and .unloadMovieClip() functions
depending on how complex this MC is for every call to the init() function.
If your text is disappearing all the time - try using a device font instead of
embedded font?
This is a bit of a rough answer to your questions - but there is so much to
explain here.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Publish / Live Preview resize issue of
customcomponent extending movieClip
uh!! I am really at my wits end. I have struggled with
this hobbie
project for well over 6 months and seem to be getting no
where!!! I ahve
read countless numbers of articles, documentation, etc. and
seem to be even
more confused than when I started.
I believe that my biggest problem is that I have spent so
much time on this
issue, and have read so many different posts, articals, etc.
that I am not
sure that is factual and what is not. I think I have even
gotten confused on
how basic functions actually works. ugh!!!
Could someone look over this code and tell be all the dumb
crap I have done
and how I can fix it. Here is a list of the issues I am
having and can not
seem to correct.
1) Live preview of the component scales correctly the very
first time you
scale it. All other times it seems to be using the original
component size
and adjusting it by the delta value of the scaling.
2) My text area during live preview 99% of the time does not appear.
3) When I Publish, the text within the component scales
rather than being
the font size I indicate even though I am using autoSize.
4) A problem that occurs some times is that the Published
version of the
component will be way way bigger than what live preview shows me.
5) If I scale up the component a good bit (perhaps by 400 pixels) the
dropshadow disapears.
Please please please, take a look at this class I have built
and tell me all
the dumb things I have done. The one things that I ask is that this
component continue to extend movieClip.
Many thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] Publish / Live Preview resize issue of customcomponent extending movieClip
LivePreview calls a setSize() method when scaling occurs on stage.
So you'll have to add that to your class.
To demonstrate, create a MovieClip with a 100x100 square in it, attach the
following class.
class SetSizeComp extends MovieClip {
function SetSizeComp() {
trace(SetSizeComp ::: CONSTRUCTOR);
}
function setSize(w:Number, h:Number) {
trace(SetSizeComp ::: setSize);
trace(- w: +w);
trace(- h: +h);
}
}
Right click the movieclip in library and select 'Convert to Compiled Clip'.
Resize the instance on stage and see what happens ;-)
You'll notice setSize is invoked, even though it's not being called anywhere
inside the class.
Here's a basic skeleton I use for components:
(I actually have an app that generates this on the fly)
class CustomComponent extends MovieClip {
// private (internal) properties
private var __width:Number;
private var __height:Number;
///
// CONSTRUCTOR
///
function CustomComponent() {
trace(CustomComponent ::: CONSTRUCTOR);
this.tabEnabled = this.tabChildren = this._focusrect=false;
this.__width = this._width;
this.__height = this._height;
this._xscale = this._yscale=100;
this.init();
}
///
// PRIVATE METHODS
///
//--
// init()
//--
private function init():Void {
trace(CustomComponent ::: init);
this.createChildren();
}
//--
// createChildren()
//--
private function createChildren():Void {
trace(CustomComponent ::: createChildren);
this.draw();
}
//--
// draw()
//--
private function draw():Void {
trace(CustomComponent ::: draw);
this.size();
}
//--
// size()
//--
private function size():Void {
trace(CustomComponent ::: size);
var w:Number = this.__width;
var h:Number = this.__height;
// do actuall sizing here
}
///
// PUBLIC METHODS
///
//--
// setSize()
//--
public function setSize(w:Number, h:Number):Void {
trace(CustomComponent ::: setSize);
this.__width = w;
this.__height = h;
this.redraw();
}
//--
// redraw()
//--
public function redraw():Void {
trace(CustomComponent ::: redraw);
// remove whatever needs to be redrawn here
// which is done in the 'draw' method
this.draw();
}
}
Also:
class com.camber.component.Balloon extends movieClip
should be:
class com.camber.component.Balloon extends MovieClip
Problem 3 and 4 are probably because you're not removing the scaling that took
place on stage (see constructor in my sample code).
So the first thing you need to do is grab the current _width and _height, then
set _xscale and _yscale to 100 to remove scaling that
took place on stage. And later on in the size() method use the stored _width
(__width) and _height (__height) to layout the
component.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Publish / Live Preview resize issue of customcomponent
extending movieClip
uh!! I am really at my wits end. I have struggled with this hobbie
project for well over 6 months and seem to be getting no where!!! I ahve
read countless numbers of articles, documentation, etc. and seem to be even
more confused than when I started.
I believe that my biggest problem is that I have spent so much time on this
issue, and have read so many different posts, articals, etc. that I am not
sure that is factual and what is not. I think I have even gotten confused on
how basic functions actually works. ugh!!!
Could someone look over this code and tell be all the dumb crap I have done
and how I can fix it.
RE: [Flashcoders] Flv's playing in a projector from usb drive
Have you tried shortening the file name to something DOS compatable? ( 8 characters + extension ) i.e. Classrom.flv - Guy At 06:20 PM 06/09/2006, Kent Haynes wrote: It's not huge 3.9 MB. But we've just discovered some more info. It's definitely related to the FAT32 file system. We formatted two partitions on the drive one NTFS and another FAT32 and sure enough the NTFS plays fine FAT32 doesn't play. So I was looking for weird characters in the path. Nothing out of the ordinary. Path + name = english/flv/Classroom.flv I also tried english\flv\Classroom.flv to no avail. None of our package structures are deep at all. -- Guy McLoughlin New Media Developer Toronto Ontario Canada E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ___ 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
