Re: [Flashcoders] Controlling flv

[Eric Woods]

Maybe a non-technical solution is better than none at all ...

You could add a second or two of "fade to black" video at the end of the 
flv...


Otherwise, the video controller has callbacks you can bind to (probably not 
called that) including a "reached end of video" callback. You can then 
create a function that tells the video to pause and bind this function to 
the "reached end of video" callback.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Controlling flv


Hi,

I'm working with Flash 8 and I've imported an flv to the stage and set
it as a progressive download, using a preset skin to control the video.
This has created a Flash Video component on the stage.

This works fine but the clip ends abruptly before returning to the
start.
I'd like to pause on the last frame of the video before fading to black
over a few seconds. It can then return to the start.

As the video is not on the timeline, is this possible? Can the video be
controlled with script to do this?

Thanks,

Adrian

[Flashcoders] Q:remove returns in text string or in text strings in XML

[moveup]

Hi
I'vm using a utility to convert my flash objects to xml.
It works great except if one of my objects happens to be text content with 
returns the returns are save as part of the xml.

Can anyone offer me an easy solution?

Would it make more sense to remove the returns in the strings first before the 
xml is created?

Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] xml parse question

[Muzak]

I don't think that's still the case with Flash player 8 (and up).

Why one would care about an Object properties order is beyond me in the first 
place though,
but maybe I missed something in one of the thread replies (and this isn't about 
copying attributess to object properties).

Muzak

Or you can save yourself the very slow Array.reverse() and just iterate

Re: [Flashcoders] remoting question

Hi,
I don't think you can use a preloader type mechanism with the

obtain the names of your image and swf resources, then load these in the 
normal manner - with a preloading mechanism.

[Pedro Taranto]

you have to use the .text propertie
mc.txt.text = _root["winner"+i+"PercentPayout"];

I tried to get help here a couple of days ago, but alas to no avail. 
Please give me a hand with this if you can:


How do I make a connection between a TextField and an array with the 
variable property when creating TextFields dynamically?


Now I'm doing a work around where I create a variables on the fly, 
fill it with values from the array (winnerPercentPayout), and then 
connect the variable with the TextField.


for(var i:Number=0; i<=100; i++){
   mc = 
settings_mc.winner_mc.container_mc.attachMovie("txt30DynDark","col0_"+i+"_mc",100+i); 


   _root["winner"+i+"PercentPayout"] = winnerPercentPayout[i];
   mc.txt.variable = "_root.winner"+i+"PercentPayout";
}

mc.txt is the instance name of the textfield. What I would like to do 
is to connect the TextFields with the array directly, like this (which 
doesn't work):


for(var i:Number=0; i<=100; i++){
   mc = 
settings_mc.winner_mc.container_mc.attachMovie("txt30DynDark","col0_"+i+"_mc",100+i); 

   _root["winner"+i+"PercentPayout"] = 
"_root.winnerPercentPayout["+i+"]";

}

Grateful for help with this.

Re: [Flashcoders] Datagrid sorting

[Bojil Vassilev]

You should add a listener to the DataGrid and then sort the 
dataprovider. Here is a quick example, also sorting both ways Asc<>Desc 
(keeping track if a column is sorted one way and sorting it the other 
way next time)


myDataGrid.addColumn("Product");
myDataGrid.addColumn("Quality");
myDataGrid.addColumn("Quantity");

var myDP:Array = [];
myDP.push({Product:"abc", Quality:145, Quantity:7});
myDP.push({Product:"bcd", Quality:79, Quantity:0});
myDP.push({Product:"def", Quality:300, Quantity:24});
myDP.push({Product:"efg", Quality:138, Quantity:10});

myDataGrid.dataProvider = myDP;

var productSorted:Boolean = true;
var qualitySorted:Boolean = true;
var quantitySorted:Boolean = true;

// Create listener object for DataGrid.
var listener_obj:Object = new Object();
listener_obj.headerRelease = function(evt_obj:Object)
{
switch (evt_obj.target.columns[evt_obj.columnIndex].columnName)
{
   case "Product" :
   if(productSorted) myDP.sortOn("Product", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
   else myDP.sortOn("Product", Array.DESCENDING | Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
   productSorted = !productSorted;
   break;
   case "Quality" :
   if(qualitySorted) myDP.sortOn("Quality", Array.NUMERIC);
   else myDP.sortOn("Quality", Array.DESCENDING | Array.NUMERIC);
   qualitySorted = !qualitySorted;
   break;
   case "Quantity" :
   if(quantitySorted) myDP.sortOn("Quantity", Array.NUMERIC);
   else myDP.sortOn("Quantity", Array.DESCENDING | Array.NUMERIC);
   quantitySorted = !quantitySorted;
   break;
}
};

// Add listener to DataGrid.
myDataGrid.addEventListener("headerRelease", listener_obj);

RE: [Flashcoders] Datagrid sorting

[Derek Lords]

Can your DataProvider be xml?
I'm not sure the Array sort methods do what you want, they might,  but they're 
probably less efficient than an xml transformation anyway.
 
then you might try sorting the dataSource itself beforehand using  in 
an xsl template?  When you want to reverse the sort, just transform again.
 



Sincerely,

Derek Lords

RE: [Flashcoders] xml parse question

[Derek Lords]

Carl,
 
That is how you do it.  Here's another way.
 
The following will copy the attributes of one node to another, provided they 
both have exactly the same attributes in the same order, regardless of what the 
attributes names are.
 
function replaceNode(theNode, withNode):Boolean { for(attr in 
theNode.attributes) {  if (typeof withNode.attributes[attr] != 'undefined')   
theNode.attributes[attr] = withNode.attributes[attr];  else  {   
proxy.call("alertWin", withNode.attributes[attr] + " was undefined ");   return 
false;  } } return true;}//end replaceNode

Re: [Flashcoders] FAMES and flashout

[Andy Herrman]

I haven't used FAMES myself, so I can't really give you a whole lot of
help, but I do vaguely remember something like this from when I was
looking into it.

One of the tutorials I saw about getting flashout set up was that the
class it generates has problems with the latest version of MTASC.
There was something about having to go into that file and replace all
instances of "TRACE" with "trace".  Since you seem to be having
problems using TRACE, maybe that's the culprit.

Here's the tutorial I was looking at:
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=F3ECF

Hope that helps!

RE: [Flashcoders] xml parse question

[Rost, Andrew]

You might be aware of this, but just an FYI, if you're concerned about
attributes being order specific. When you loop through the attributes with a
for statement, you'll get the attributes in the reverse order. I personally
loop through the attributes and push the attribute name to an array and then
reverse order, when the for is done.

Re: [Flashcoders] xml parse question

[John laPlante]

The xml that you've shown consists of all attributes, that is value 
pairs inside a tag. Each node has a attributes property. Here is a small 
snippet that demonstrates accessing attributes.


   private function loadProblems(xFileName:String):Void
   {
   var sLessonPath = this.theLessonPath;// _root.lesson_path;
   var pathedFileName:String = sLessonPath + xFileName
   xmlFile = new XML();
   xmlFile.ignoreWhite = true;
   xmlFile.onLoad = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, fetchLessonFiles);
   xmlFile.load( pathedFileName );   
  
   return;
   }   


   public function fetchLessonFiles():Void
   {
   var cFileNum:Number = 1;// counter

   var cFileID:String;
   cFileID = unescape(xmlFile[cFileNum].attributes.fileName);

   }

[Flashcoders] Flash Project in 8 Languages - Approaches in Production

[Jeff Harrington]

We've been asked to bid on a project documenting how to fill out forms -
in 8 languages including Chinese and Russian with streaming audio and
video.  I've suggested that we brute-force it and produce all the
content similarly with HTML text areas. 

I assume we'll be given PDF's of each of the 8 documents and then
combining screen shots and text pasting produce the educational pieces. 
We'll be MP3 streaming the audio and video using FMS and just resolve
the soundtracks/MP3's as needed. 

I'm fairly naive about the issues related to multi-lingual Flash
production.  Are there any obvious gotchas related to font encodings,
HTML support with non-ASCII fonts, etc?  I'm assuming for one, that the
Flash will be heavy because of all the fonts.  Any other issues that
might inform how we produce this project? 

TIA as always...

[Flashcoders] Can Flash or Director open a browser window with limited chrome

[redknot]

I'm working on a CD-ROM deployment of the content in a website.

I'd like to create a standalone projector (Flash or Director) and use 
it to navigate to parts of the main HTML content.  Does anybody know 
what tools or code I can use to:


1- open an HTML page in a browser window, and at the same time 
control the  window attributes of that browser window (toolbars, 
position, etc). Ideally, I'd like to open a window with minimal 
features. I know this is easy from another browser window,... but not 
sure if it's achievable via a standalone projector.


2-The other thing I'd like to do is target the same simple window if 
I need to change the content from the projector . i.e. replace the 
content with a new HTML page instead of opening a new window.


Many thanks,
Lorraine

Re: [Flashcoders] xml parse question

[Geoff Stearns]

all the attributes are in the attributes object, so you can just do a  
for...in loop and grab them all.


example:

for(a in xObj.attributes) {
obj[a] = xObj.attributes[a];
}

[Flashcoders] TextField variable and arrays - please help!

[Johan Nyberg]

I tried to get help here a couple of days ago, but alas to no avail. 
Please give me a hand with this if you can:


How do I make a connection between a TextField and an array with the 
variable property when creating TextFields dynamically?


Now I'm doing a work around where I create a variables on the fly, fill 
it with values from the array (winnerPercentPayout), and then connect 
the variable with the TextField.


for(var i:Number=0; i<=100; i++){
   mc = 
settings_mc.winner_mc.container_mc.attachMovie("txt30DynDark","col0_"+i+"_mc",100+i);

   _root["winner"+i+"PercentPayout"] = winnerPercentPayout[i];
   mc.txt.variable = "_root.winner"+i+"PercentPayout";
}

mc.txt is the instance name of the textfield. What I would like to do is 
to connect the TextFields with the array directly, like this (which 
doesn't work):


for(var i:Number=0; i<=100; i++){
   mc = 
settings_mc.winner_mc.container_mc.attachMovie("txt30DynDark","col0_"+i+"_mc",100+i);

   _root["winner"+i+"PercentPayout"] = "_root.winnerPercentPayout["+i+"]";
}

Grateful for help with this.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash player and pop-up blockers

[Gregory N]

So far the only reliable way I've found is to avoid pop-ups in favor of
hidden DIVs containing IFRAME.
Then, instead of opening a pop-up, you just change the *display* property by
Javascript.

Yes, this can be a problem -- different browser extensions work in
different ways, and respond to different JavaScript events, so it's hard
to make a one-size-fits-all solution.

One bit of consolation: someone who installs a rogue window-blocker will
be visiting more sites than just yours, so they would become familiar
with any feedback the blocker and/or browser offer about windows the
browser didn't open.

Another tack you might try, to give visitors consistent feedback about
what their browser isn't doing, might be to try a localConnection test
from the original SWF to the popup SWF, after waiting a suitable
interval... if the second SWF never opened, then the first SWF can
advise that there may be a window-blocker in the visitor's browser.

Hello everybody, 

 

Does anybody know how you can detect the encoding settings that were used
when the .flv was created?

 

I need to re-encode a movie with the same settings that were used then.

 

Thanx in advance

RE: [Flashcoders] Order of events for function call

[Paul Steven]

Thanks Paul

Kind of similar to what I have but with this method there is a delay if
balls are falling from high up. Ideally I would like there to be no delay
but guess that could make things too complex.

if (this.List_Of_Falling_Ball_Objects.length == 0 &&
this.List_Of_Sliding_Ball_Objects.length == 0) {


this.Move_Balls_Up();
this.Play_Balls_Up_Sound();

}

Without thinking about this too much, I might have a count of the balls in

[Flashcoders] Text blurry when behind a mask

[Johan Nyberg]

Anybody know how to solve this annoying problem? Whenever I put text 
behind a mask, and then move the text - like for example if you want to 
make a simple scroller - the text gets blurry. Even when I use bitmap 
text. On the odd pixel the text is blurry, on the other sharp.

[Flashcoders] Datagrid sorting

[Merrill, Jason]

Need some help on sorting a datagrid by a particular collumn. Right now,
it's sorting alphabetically by data in the second collumn instead of the
first.  I tried sorting the dataprovider first with the array sort
methods, but they didn't work and the help docs indicate those array
sorting methods don't work on associative arrays.  

I have tried:

lobAdmins_dg.dataProvider.sortOn("lob", Array.DESCENDING);

and also with the DataSetIterator:

lobAdmins_dg.dataProvider.addSort("lobSort", "lob",
DataSetIterator.Descending); 

and:

[Flashcoders] flash media server hosting providers

[james o]

can anyone recommend a flash media server hosting provider that  
they're really happy with based on performance, reliability and  
cost?  a LAMP solution would be ideal but not necessary.


necessary technologies would be Flash Media Server, MySQL, PHP and  
FFMpeg or another video coding solution.


an ideal solution would provide an out of the box video encoding/ 
converting solution.  i.e, upload any video format and video is  
encoded as a .flv


THANKS!
./james

Re: [Flashcoders] checking .flv encoding settings

[Kurt Griffin]

You can get some basic info from the meta data in Flash. From the help:
-
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

ns.onMetaData = function(infoObject:Object) {
for (var propName:String in infoObject) {
trace(propName + " = " + infoObject[propName]);
}
};

ns.play("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/water.flv";);



canSeekToEnd:true
audiocodecid:2
audiodelay:0.038
audiodatarate:96
videocodecid:4
framerate:15
videodatarate:400
height:213
width:320
duration:8.04

-

The videocodecid numbers are these: Sorenson H.263 =2, Screen Video  
=3, On2 VP6 = 4 and 5, Screen Video V2 = 6


No guarantee as to what data will be included in the metadata - that  
depends on the app used to do the compression. I believe there's a  
way to get keyframe data as well, but I'm not positive.


hth,
Kurt

[Flashcoders] JSON issues with Flash Lite 2.1

[Pete Thomas]

Hi Guys

Has anyone out there managed to successfully implement a JSON interface with
Flash Lite 2.1 using AS2

I got both AS1 and AS2 versions from json.org but I get Bad String failure
when publishing Flash Lite player (fine in player 7). I'm thinking this is
either a glitch or something in the code that is not supported. But as yet
have not found it...

Any help appreciated

Pete

Thanks Gustavo,  

Hopefully the first finished game should be delivered sometime in the next
two months. I'll try and keep http://www.zenbullets.com/isometric/ updated
with new developments. Any ideas for future development will be welcome.

Pedro, I'm not sharing either AS2 or AS3 versions quite yet, just in case I
have to roll back. Sorry.

[Flashcoders] Playing big FLV files (locally) - where's the problem ?

[Cedric Muller]

Hello,
I have FLV files that are being downloaded by a java client from the  
web to a local disk.

On my local machine, I have a SWF loading that local downloaded FLV.
It works great ...
but here comes that awful heartbeat again:
How can I handle 2 gig FLV files ?
Is there a way ??
Must I use RED5 in order to 'stream' the FLV locally ? (the best  
option I come up with right now)


I did tests, and a 2 gig FLV is a sure problem when played locally ...
I am just and plainly seeking ideas and help

Naively, I thought the OS would handle this case ...of course it  
doesn't, because it depends on the computer's capacity to load a 2  
gig FLV in memory ...which is quite weak normally 


Thanks in advance for any pointers,
Cedric

[Flashcoders] non-Unicode cont.

[Danny Kodicek]

Ha - answered my own question partially. System.useCodePage is obviously
what I need, but unfortunately I really need to be able to mix and match the
two, so I don't think it'll help. What I need is a 'codepage to unicode'
function.

[Flashcoders] remoting question

[Kerem İŞERİ]

hi,

I am using flash remoting and amfphp in a site, and fetching the content 
from database.. does anybody know how can I monitor the data sent from 
the server in a preloader?? or is it impossible?? because Im fetching 
mixed data like texts and pictures and some swf's sometimes, I think to 
know only the total number of bytes will be revieved on one query, would 
be enough to calculate it but I couldnt make it.. I've been using php 
object component before using flash remoting, and it was not possible to 
monitor data it there either..


any ideas??

kerem.

Re: [Flashcoders] ISOMETRIC GAME ENGINE

[Sherif Elshazly]

Hi there,
I developed an isometric engine, it's currently used on www.faceparty.com chat 
client.

To have a look, you need to log in sherif791:123456 , then click on "party 
chat", when the client loads, goto the rooms tab, and then 3D rooms tab, then 
choose one of the realms.. there's different characters, this could be managed 
from settings within the chat client.

I won't be able to share the code, but it could give you an idea on how you 
wish to build your engine.

Re: [Flashcoders] xml parse question

What if I don't know what the names are going to be? How can I check

Re: [Flashcoders] xml parse question

Nevermind. I found this in one of my many flash books:

myAttributes = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes;
for(attributes in myAttributes){
  trace(attributes+" : "+myAttributes[attributes]);
}

[Flashcoders] Non-Unicode

[Danny Kodicek]

I think I asked this a while ago but don't recall getting an answer. Is
there any way to get String.fromCharCode() and String.charCodeAt() to use
the local codepage instead of Unicode? I'm doing some Flash-Director
communication and this is causing problems because Director's numToChar and
charToNum functions return different results from their Flash equivalents.
