Re: [Flashcoders] Transitions between Movies AS3
Hi, I would suggest loading movie A then do 2 things when it has loaded: play movie A preload movie B If Movie A is long enough you can load in all of Movie B before A finishes and then transition as you like. - by Movie I mean MovieClip / SWF not FLV. There maybe ways to preload FLV's, but I am not familiar with this. There are some good sequential preloaders out there: Ralf Bokelberg has a preloader that looks okay.

With video people are more acceptable to see the video overlap or not aligning properly when animations switch rather fast. In this case the animation from Movie A has elements that will be used in Movie B and to make it more entertaining elements from A and B have transparency (such as PNGs). ATM I am making the switch frame based but sometimes the movies overlap or they have a slight glitch to them... what are you all doing for these kind of transitions? (besides avoiding them?) I was thinking of making it time base... such as after Movie B loaded wait 300ms or similar and then make the switch but I am looking at best practices and best performance and most of all best user experience.

[Flashcoders] Preloading and Dispatching Events
Hi All, While creating a custom class I am trying to figure out a way to add the preloaded images at the same time as to dispatch an event to a different class when the images have loaded. of course I know that I cant extend a class to an EventDispatcher and to a MovieClip at the same time so I have to choose one, If I extend to an EventDispatcher then I cant add the clip when the images are preloaded. If I extend to a MovieClip then I cant Dispatch custom events to other listeners.. I was thinking of creating an Interface for the Event Dispatcher and then for the MovieClip once that is done then I could implement both interfaces but I dont think this is the right approach Any suggestions are welcome, Helmut ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Transitions between Movies AS3
Hi Guys,
Thanks so much for your suggestions and new tips. I in fact are able to
create everything within my movie with no issues but the thing that I am
having a little bit of issue is making the switch from Movie A to B. I can
do the preloading and all but once it comes to making the swap I am trying
to figure out what is the best way to make the swap seemless...
Of course this is possible if all of the objects are solid colors or solid
images, but once we start playing with PNGs and opacity the swap can be a
little bit more tricky, specially when the swap is done frame based. So my
suggestion was to do it timely based... say after movie B has been loaded
completely wait 300ms and then make the swap (Another way is also to avoid
these situations :-) )...
For now that is the best solution that I have found but I was wondering if
there were other tricks out there that some of you are using..

RE: [Flashcoders] mdash in htmlText
Hi Andrew, I don't know of a class that will help with this. Extended characters need to be Unicode encoded in the HTML stream for Flash to properly display them. I've had to do exactly what you probably don't want to do... that is, scrub them out. I had a project that wrapped up late summer last year, where I had to contend with a fairly simple set of characters: single and double opening/closing quotes, em-dash, en-dash, copyright, registered trademark, etc. When I get back to the office on Monday, I'll check to see what we did for handling them in HTML text. IIRC, we ran regular expressions on the HTML text swapping mnemonic style character entities for Flash Unicode, e.g., \u000a. ...Rob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Sinning Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 10:39 PM To: Flash Coders Subject: [Flashcoders] mdash in htmlText I'm running CS3 with AS2.

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple quesiton for createEmptyMovieClip in AS2
At least one problem:
_root.playListHolder.createEmptyMovieClip(vThumb+i, i+1000);
should be (note quotes):
_root.playListHolder.createEmptyMovieClip(vThumb+i, i+1000);
Also, you don't need the line:
var vidThumb:MovieClip =
You can just tell _root.playListHolder to create the clips based on
the incremental naming scheme you describe.

Try this instead:
for (var i:Number = 0; i 5; i++) {
_root.playListHolder.createEmptyMovieClip(vThumb+i, i+1000);
var vidThumb = __root.playListHolder[vThumb+i];
//theVideo.width = thumbWidth;
//theVideo.height = thumbHeight;
vidThumb._y = i*thumbHorizontalGap+thumbY;
vidThumb.loadMovie(
http://www.google.com/http://img0.gmodules.com/ig/images//weather_welcome_image.jpg;);
}
Assuming your thumbHorizontalGap and thumbY vars are right, this should display
5 clips vertically;

var vidThumb:MovieClip =
_root.playListHolder.createEmptyMovieClip(vThumb+i, i+1000);
vidThumb = eval(vThumb+i)
//theVideo.width = thumbWidth
//theVideo.height = thumbHeight;
vidThumb._y = i*thumbHorizontalGap+thumbY;
vidThumb.loadMovie( http://www.google.com/

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple quesiton for createEmptyMovieClip in AS2
Put the URLs in an array:
myURLS = new Array(www.domain1.com, www.anotherDomain.com,
www.anotherDomain.com, www.anotherDomain.com, www.anotherDomain.com);
then for the URL specified as the target of each clip you create,
just reference the URL this way:
vidThumb.onRelease = function(){
openURL(myURLS[i]);
}
