Re: [Flashcoders] advice needed: textformatting or css?

2006-10-25 Thread GregoryN
Hello,

I had similar problem (space below the text) in one project this year. I ended 
up with the
following:
1) Edges of the text field itself are NOT used to show the "space".
You just use no borders, bg etc, so no one can say where are textfield
edges :-)
2) To show padding and other "space around text" additional elements
are used, mainly  mc's. Say, the screen_mc (containing just one
rectangle) is placed below the textfield.

3) When you update the textfield, measure it's size and resize the
screen_mc accordingly.

4) I've used margin/padding settings as attributes in the XML where
the text itself is stored (or transferred).

The designers are quite happy so far :-).

PS.
As to "textformat vs. css" - it's a matter of taste, IMO. I like CSS
and try to use them whenever possible. However, there's no affordable
(e.g., quite easy) way to build a WYSIWYG editor for css-formatted
text... Therefore, all depends on your task.

Hi,

 

I tried using Microphone class to detect Microphone on my machine and it
even worked as described in Help document.

 

But the real concern is to save that voice/Audio on local machine,

I could not store the stream even during runtime. 

 

Will I be able to do it using only flash? Or I will have to use FMS
(Flash Media Server)?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash video multiple streams...

2006-10-25 Thread Yehia Shouman

If I think of doing this, I'd do it using the following ways:
1. if I have Flash Media Server (Streaming method)
Use it with server side actionscript to server streaming video, with server
side actionscript to play the first 10 seconds, and I'd catch with the
progress listener on an unskinned FLV player that the movie has reached the
first 1 second, thats when I'll pause the video, until I rollover it thats
when I need to play it again

2.If I dont have flash media server
Using a FLV slicing thumbnail creator, like FLVKnife, with a little server
side script code to created the shorter videos on upload, and another tool
to extract an image for a thumbnail, bearing in mind that usually on users
videos, the first 10 seconds may include titles, or black screens (Mr. X
presents), You know the users love to get "cool" with their home made
videos, so a progressive load wont be of equal quality to this solution,
Also this solution will help you with the 1 by 1 sequential loading
technique, for you're to load only what you'd show (I recommend this one)

3. (Progressive loading)
If I dont have flash media server and I hate to waste my time on server
side scripting but I can bear performance issues, I'd have multiple
unskinned instances of the FLVPlayback, and i'd catch using the progressive
listener the first frame (frames per second/playHeadTime) and pause, and
when rollover happens play (and create a new listener waiting for the 10th
second to restart video again), and on Rollout restart and pause


Hope if this doesnt help atleast would highlight some other possible
solutions or act as thought provoking to the other list members

Hi,

I have a problem where multiple video streams, which are slowing a page
down (download time) ... see here:
http://www.fotoko.com/?str=1N%3D%2A%5C%3BKLP6R%3DT3%5BB%2E1R%0Dpy%1B

The video does load ... eventually, and then works fine on subsequent
visit due to caching ... my issue is with the loading times on the first
visit.

So, I need to control the way video is streamed to the page. Bearing in
mind that the video only needs to show a preview in thumbnail mode and
stream only when the thumbnails are clicked, I thought the following
process would be best ... and I was wondering how to achieve step 2 as I
am fine with the rest.

1) Start streaming (progressive) video into a Video symbol (using
netConnection() etc)
2) Detect when the first frame has loaded << HOW!?
3) Once the first frame has loaded, draw the video into a Movie Clip
(using draw() etc)
4) Stop streaming the video (until the thumbnail is clicked).

Any other suggestions are of course welcome!

Note: I am loading in the images one by one to reduce simultaneous open
streams, but the video's will potentially be too big to wait for to use
this approach.

Thanks,

Jason.

Flash 8 bug alert!

According to Tinic Uro's blog, Flash 8 now has improved image
rendering and smoothing as demo'd here:

http://www.kaourantin.net/2005/08/fixing-one-bug-at-time-in-flash-player
.html

(Zoom in on the SWFs to see the improvements.)

Images have much improved smoothing in Flash 8 thanks to the new
sub-pixel rendering engine.  But unfortunately dynamically loaded
images cannot have their 'smoothing' property set (unlike library
images where you can select an image to 'Allow smoothing') and
therefore always appear pixelated.  E.g. take a look at the last
comment by Alex Lovett on Tinic's blog and the example here:

http://shockwaver.net/swf/fp8/test.html

Zoom in and you'll see the images stay pixelated rather than get
smoothed out.  This is actually *worse* than Flash 7 because at least
in Flash 7 you could set the _quality property for a SWF to "BEST",
but this has no effect in Flash 8.

This is a very annoying trait... does anyone know of a workaround? 
Possibly we need a 'smoothing' property accessible in ActionScript

somehow...

Thanks,
Paul.

that crops for example bitmap. I not only want crop part of bitmap 
outside white rectangle, but sign that it is unnecessary  part (with 
blur or desaturation). My object have interactive controls - changing to 
bitmap is bad because i lost interactive  properties, using blend mode 
changes whole background - in my example t-shirt . Is possible apply 
blend mode to only one movieclip, without background?

[Flashcoders] Mc animation don't play after onRelease event

2006-10-25 Thread Marcelo Wolfgang

Hi list,

I'm coding a site that has a submenu that brings items to download,
currently there are 2 itens 'papel de parede' ( wallpapers ) and
newsletter.

this page is up at:

http://w3ol.com.br/royalciclo/test/test.html

if you click between the 2 itens on the submenu (WHITHOUT CLICKING IN
ANY ITEM), you will notice that a nice 'out' animation is played. but
as soon you click on any item, it won't animate no more, it stay
static on the screen till a ._visible = false is applied later on the
mc.
After this, even the 'load' animation doesn't 'work'.

the movie got 160 lines of code so I'm placing the .fla at this adress
if anyone want to take a look and help me figure out what's happening
here

http://w3ol.com.br/royalciclo/test/test.fla

I can't figure out why after the onRelease action the movieclip don't
obey his next keyframe on the 'out' animation.

a way to get the User Profile to load automatically into the .swf file
without having to log in or manually trigger every time to generate the user
profile to display, it is just the user profile info that is the problem the
other info like stats etc... Will display in their components using the

handled from a webpage and the flash app is just for display in a window on
the webpage. 
Hope a gave a good description of my problem, if not please respond and ask

The best thing would be to have a drag bar nested inside the movieclip with
a code like this :

 bar.onPress = function() {
this._parent.startDrag();
 };

And there you go ...

Otherwise there is still onMouseDown ... But this has been discussed not too

I'm trying to let the users drag movieclips around the screen, but the

as it stops all the nested interactivity from working.
How can I get the movieclip to drag without using mouse events?

[Flashcoders] advice needed: textformatting or css?

2006-10-25 Thread grimmwerks

Ok - I've got this kiosk application I'm building - there's a playback
and there's a builder. The builder has a lot of textformatting going
on. Up to now I've been allowing the client to put in their text into
a textfiled, select a pulldown and it automatically inserts the
correct textformatting.

However, since I'm saving all this textformatting to an xml file
embedded in a CDATA file, if there's a problem with the textformat,
then I'm screwed.

One of the biggest problems that has been pointed out is that there is
no way of setting more 'space after a paragraph' that you can do in
photoshop.

I'm starting to think that I should do it all as CSS, so that if i use
an external CSS file, and put  around the selected/edited text,
it's not saved with the xml and I can massage it afterwards.

But is it also possible to do a 'space after paragraph' setting in css
for flash text?

Thanks for any advice; it's at the tail end and this project is way behind.

[Flashcoders] Flash video multiple streams...

2006-10-25 Thread Jason Ross
Hi,

I have a problem where multiple video streams, which are slowing a page
down (download time) ... see here:
http://www.fotoko.com/?str=1N%3D%2A%5C%3BKLP6R%3DT3%5BB%2E1R%0Dpy%1B

The video does load ... eventually, and then works fine on subsequent
visit due to caching ... my issue is with the loading times on the first
visit.

So, I need to control the way video is streamed to the page. Bearing in
mind that the video only needs to show a preview in thumbnail mode and
stream only when the thumbnails are clicked, I thought the following
process would be best ... and I was wondering how to achieve step 2 as I
am fine with the rest.

1) Start streaming (progressive) video into a Video symbol (using
netConnection() etc)
2) Detect when the first frame has loaded << HOW!?
3) Once the first frame has loaded, draw the video into a Movie Clip
(using draw() etc)
4) Stop streaming the video (until the thumbnail is clicked).

Any other suggestions are of course welcome!

Note: I am loading in the images one by one to reduce simultaneous open
streams, but the video's will potentially be too big to wait for to use
this approach.

Thanks,

Jason.

RE: [Flashcoders] SCORM multi api wrapper

2006-10-25 Thread Alain Rousseau
I believe that you can't get any return value that way (not sure, could be
wrong). What you need to do is call a javascript with proxy.call wich then
(the javascript)  calls another function that sends data to flash through
the proxy ...

A better way to do that, if you use Flash 8, is to use ExternalInterface.

I did some E-Learning in the past and we only sent data to the wrapper, the
only time we retrieved anything was on the first load with flashvars

how can you access the value

 

proxy.call doesn't return anything, and if you do following :

RE: [Flashcoders] Audio Recording Feature Through Flash

2006-10-25 Thread Prashant Patil
Hi,

 

I tried using Microphone class to detect Microphone on my machine and it
even worked as described in Help document.

 

But the real concern is to save that voice/Audio on local machine,

I could not store the stream even during runtime. 

 

Will I be able to do it using only flash? Or I will have to use FMS
(Flash Media Server)?

 

 

 

Warm regards,

Prashant Patil

Hello,

Is there anyone who's got this, using Flash to Control Windows Media
Player, working. I'm trying to control the audio of a wmv movie in
flash.

I've searched in the archives and found someone who had it working but
the URL is dead. 


Original message from archive

there are definate issues with browsers - eg: it doesn't work outside of
IE/PC, but it is cool when it does. :-)

some examples for you:

[Flashcoders] textformat question: add space after paragraph?

2006-10-25 Thread grimmwerks

Trying to build an app and the designer is extremely stringent with
the way the text formatting should appear.


From her photoshop docs she's got blocks of text where she's set the

'add space after paragraph' in the character formatting palette.

It's not clear where or if I can set this in a textformat in Flash;
anyone have an idea? Is it something I can do in terms of css? I'm
trying to set blocks of text that they edit on the fly.

Thanks, as always.

2006-10-25 Thread Sander van Surksum
Thanks a lot

I've figured out wat was going wrong.

you can't test the fscommand localy :-S
it needs to come from a server to test

So when I uploaded to a server it worked.

Thanks for all the help

right - weird. sorry about that. i'll look into that link a bit later.

as for the muting of audio in WMP, you should be able to call a JS
function that targets the player with this command:

myPlayer.settings.volume = 0;

which is referenced in the SDK API Muzak linked to.

pretty straightforward once you get the whole Flash->JS communication
down.

Re: [Flashcoders] array.sortOn(object.key) ???

you can use something like this : 

sample_array.sort(sortElemByDate)

function sortElemByDate(el1, el2) {

if (el1.page.endDateel2.page.endDate) {
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] setVolume has a greater range than documented?

2006-10-25 Thread Martin Wood-Mitrovski
if you have no other sound objects then setting the volume to 100 should be full 
volume.


if you create sound objects using a heirarchy of mc's then the final volume is a 
combination of the volumes of each sound object within the heirarchy.


if its not that then i dont know...what version of the player and which 
platform?

as a side note, you can set the volume to any number you like, what i find 
interesting is that the player has its own flavour of distortion which can be 
quite nice (if you like that kind of thing)


if you do try running some sine tones or other simple tones (square, saw, dtmf 
etc..) and cranking up the sound object volume to 10,000 or so (but mind your 
ears / speakers)




Michael Bedar wrote:
I am loading MP3's into a sound object, and the sounds play full volume 
without me touching anything.  However if i then set the volume of the 
Sound object to 100, the sound plays at what seems to be about 50%, and 
following this trend passing in 200 seems to get back up to 100%.


soundPlayer.loadSound("my.mp3");
//plays at 100%


soundPlayer.loadSound("my.mp3");
soundPlayer.setVolume(100)
//plays at ~ 50%

soundPlayer.loadSound("my.mp3");
soundPlayer.setVolume(200)
//plays at 100%

Has anyone run into this?
