Re: [Flashcoders] Determining sound sample rate?

[ben gomez farrell]

Thanks!  That should get me on my way.  This, in combination with the 
last reply about getting raw ID3, should help me out.

So thanks to both of ya.

Hi, as far as I know, the info you're looking for is not in the ID3 tags
(which are not mandatory by the way).

An mp3 file is a formed by an arbitrary number of "frames", which carry
information about "chunks" of the sound stream; each one contains a header
and the actual audio data. There's no "global" file header, but if you're
looking for the sample rate, I think it's fair to assume that the sample
rate stored in the header of the first frame is the sample rate of the whole
file (that might not be true if you were looking for, say, the bitrate).

So, I think you can get that data if you read the file directly in binary
format, look for the first frame, and read the bits indicating the sample
rate.

A good reference for the format spec:
http://mpgedit.org/mpgedit/mpeg_format/MP3Format.html

And this graphic may help to "visualize" the meaning of each bit in a frame
header:

By the way, if you want to inspect the raw file, you should use an
hexadecimal editor, you won't get far with a text editor. There are many
available, some of them are free, like Hexplorer, which is what I've been
using for a while.
( you can find it here: http://artemis.wszib.edu.pl/~mdudek/ )

I don't know much about the mp3 format specifically, but I have worked a bit
with raw files, so if you want to give it a try and need some help, maybe I
can lend you a hand.

[Flashcoders] Using insertBefore to insert nodes into an extant XML document

[matt stuehler]

All,

Sorry in advance - this is probably a trivial question, but I'm trying
to figure out how to create an XML node, and insert it into a specific
location in an XML document.

It looks like the insertBefore method is what I need.

However, the problem is that it only seems to work if I create the XML
structure one node at a time (using createElement). For example, this
works:

my_xml = new XML("");
my_xml.firstChild.appendChild(my_xml.createElement("FIRSTBASE"));
my_xml.firstChild.appendChild(my_xml.createElement("THIRDBASE"));
my_xml.firstChild.insertBefore(my_xml.createElement("SECONDBASE"),my_xml.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling);
trace(my_xml.toString());

this produces:

""


However, this doesn't:

var my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.parseXML("");
my_xml.insertBefore(my_xml.createElement("SECONDBASE"),my_xml.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling);
trace(my_xml.toString());

As far as I can tell, these two code samples are identical.

The practical application - I'm loading a large document received from
a webservice (In other words, I haven't created each node using
createElement).
I'd then like to locate a specific node deep in the hierarchy, and try
to insert a new node before it.

I can confirm that the node I'm using for the second parameter of
insertBefore exists (using trace()), so I don't think that's the cause
of the problem.

Many thanks in advance for any help or insight!

Cheers,
Matt Stuehler

Re: [Flashcoders] MouseOver Scaling of elements in Tile List

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

   You can also adjust the x & y properties of the event.target to 
compensate for the scaling down - e.g.  work out the scaled width & 
height then offset x & y to suit...


   For Flex the Total Training Advanced Visual Programming DVD / online 
course covers this, although I am not sure it's in the free preview.


   http://totaltraining.com/prod/adobe/flex.asp

   They do Flash courses as well, but I have not done these.

   For Flash - I have not done it to be honest, but the Devnet site has 
some promising stuff:


   http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/tilelist_component_as3/

   You could also make a custom CellRenderer to handle this - each 
thing in the tilelist will be rendered by your custom class - look at 
the example above.

the "target" property of the MouseEvent is the thing that you are hovering

e.target.scaleX = 1.5;
e.target.scaleY = 1.5;

The target is a property of the Event class so I think most events work
like this...

Re: [Flashcoders] MouseOver Scaling of elements in Tile List

[Bob Wohl]

So you're looking to scale 1.5 and move the math -x and -y to scale upwards
uniformed? You may want to look at creating a thumbnail class that is
completely separate from the tile list and do your scaling and positioning
via event.target properties (thumbnail, x/y etc).

Re: [Flashcoders] RegEx on a String (uppercase / lowercase)

[Wagner Amaral]

If you pass a second parameter of "i" to the RegExp constructor, it will
match insensitively:

var regObj:RegExp = new RegExp( "ˆ" + searchField_txt.text, "i" );

Look here for the description of all the flags a RegExp can take in AS3:

[Flashcoders] Updating V2 components

[Mendelsohn, Michael]

Hi list...

I've made a custom component and added a param to it.  Is there a way to
update instances on the stage? The new var doesn't show up in the
parameters palette or in the component inspector. (CS3/AS2)

Thanks,
- MM

Re: [Flashcoders] RegEx on a String (uppercase / lowercase)

[Sidney de Koning]

Hi Wagner and Juan Pablo,

Thanks for the response! I also tried this:

var regObj:RegExp = new RegExp( "ˆ" + searchField_txt.text, "i" );
var filteredList:XMLList = landen.country. 
( regObj.test( countryname.toLowerCase() ) );


And that worked aswell. However the sollution provided by both of you  
is the way it should.


Thanks!

Sidney

Re: [Flashcoders] RegEx on a String (uppercase / lowercase)

[Juan Pablo Califano]

Hi, you can use the "i" flag in the second constructor parameter if you want
a case insensitive regexp.

Check the info about the constructor here for an explanation of that and
other flags:

[Flashcoders] RegEx on a String (uppercase / lowercase)

[Sidney de Koning]

Hi List,

I'm filtering my loaded XML with RegEx (regular expressions). The  
input i filter on is in a textfield. So I have a textfield on the  
stage and match that to the text in my XML.
Right now i have a pattern the allows me to search only lowercase, but  
since all the names in my xml start with a capital i have a problem.  
This is my pattern:


var regObj:RegExp = new RegExp( "^.*[[:upper:]a-z].*"+  
searchField_txt.text +".*" );


My xml consist of country names, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Cuba,  
Cyprus, Denmark etc.


What I want to do is this; when i type: an it returns a list of  
Andorra, Angola, Anguilla. But when i type in an extra g, so now the  
word in my textfield becomes: "ang" it should return the list Angola,  
Anguilla. The pattern i have works a bit, but not quite. And my  
knowledge of RegEx is only exsisting since this morning. So what i  
want the RegEx to do is allow me to search the text, no matter if i  
type in lower-/uppercase and in the correct order.


Is there a RegEx rockstar who can help me on this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Sending messages to FMS from a PHP server

[Meinte van't Kruis]

maybe the whole trick to this is to fake a netconnection in php, building
the right packets in amf, sending it and then doing a call like you would
from a swf... Seems a bit messy, but can't really think of something else.

Re: [Flashcoders] amfphp 1.9 not working on web host

[chas warn]

Cool!  Thanks for responding Ashvin.   My little restaurant project is
working with amfphp1.2 on the remote server but I can only get version 1.9
to work locally.   There is no error message - it's just not connecting to
the database on the remote server.  I uploaded the 1.9 directory and I kept
the same crossdomain.xml  in the root directory but I just can't get it to
kick in.  In the morning, I'll check again for dumb mistakes.

You can see how I'm using amfphp on my website...
http://www.carlosinla.com/go/page5/page5.php

When I hooked this up to amfphp 1.9. it doesn't connect to the database. It
doesn't light up.

This thing will run smooth with 1.9.   My other pages on my site are using
1.2  until I get this figured out.  It's 2:40 a.m. - so I better go to bed.

Salute

Charley

Re: [Flashcoders] Sending messages to FMS from a PHP server

[Meinte van't Kruis]

thanks for the pointer, I'm looking into it. Meanwhile I'm wondering how
this looks like at the FMS side of things, any ideas? It almost looks like
I'd have to fake a netconnection call response, but I'm sure thats not the
way to go(I certainly wouldn't want it to be).

Hi,

   I have not done this, but I would look at using the AMFPHP 
serialization classes to format my data then use something like Curl or 
fwrite (if "wrappers" are enabled and allowed on your server) for HTTP 
type messaging.

Re: [Flashcoders] MouseOver Scaling of elements in Tile List

[Glen Pike]

the "target" property of the MouseEvent is the thing that you are 
hovering over so:


e.target.scaleX = 1.5;
e.target.scaleY = 1.5;

The target is a property of the Event class so I think most events work 
like this...

[Flashcoders] Sending messages to FMS from a PHP server

[Meinte van't Kruis]

Hi Folks,

I'm not sure if this is the right list for these kinds of questions, but
I'll give it a shot anyway.

What I want to do is push data from PHP to Flash Media Server. I haven't
seen it elsewhere,
and can't really find any people who did such a thing, but maybe I'm
overlooking the obvious.
I can't imagine it's totally impossible, and I kinda thought AMFPHP or
WebOrb would provide
methods for this, but alas, WebOrb only has messaging support on their j2ee
and .net version,
no such thing for PHP and blazeDS and all these kinds of technologies all
run on j2ee or
different, I haven't seen any PHP implementation to provide an API for
sending AMF directly
from PHP (push, instead of pull).

So if anyone has any clues or experience with this, it would be greatly
appreciated!
