[Flashcoders] FLVPlayback goes blank on fullscreen

[Daniel Boey]

Hi List,

I'm hoping someone has encountered this issue and solved it.

I've got a SWF with a FLVPlayback component in it that streams a FLV video.
It's all fine and dandy when I launch the SWF directly into a Standalone
Flash Player.
Maximising it or resizing the window is fine. However, when I make the
window go fullscreen (ie: CTRL+F) the FLVPlayback disappears.
When I exit fullscreen, I get it back and I can see that the video is just
progressing on it's own without stopping.

After surfing around for clues, I found another person who has the same
issue but there was no solution either:
http://www.afcomponents.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2936

Any idea people?

Thanks & Best regards,
Daniel Boey

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip path

[Juan Pablo Califano]

Considering how display lists have changed between AS 2 and AS 3, I doubt
this is going to be really useful, but perhaps for tracing out a path, it
could the job.


import flash.display.DisplayObject;

function getFullPath(dpo:DisplayObject):String{

 var path:Array = [];

 while(dpo.parent) {
  path.unshift(dpo.name);
  dpo = dpo.parent;
 }

 return path.joint(".");

}
PS: I don't know if there's a builtin method for this.


Cheers

Re: [Flashcoders] SWFobject and SWFaddress

Hi,

  SWFAddress.onChange = function () {
  //handle it here...
 trace(SWFAddress.getValue());

Re: [Flashcoders] online .swf generator

[Ian Thomas]

A couple of alternatives come to mind:

- You can use the Flex SDK - there is a version of the compiler
designed to stay resident and run on the server, which speeds up the
whole compilation process. Can't remember where - check out Adobe
Labs. It's not superfast, but may be fast enough.
- You could use swfmill: http://www.swfmill.org

HTH,
   Ian

Re: [Flashcoders] can Flex classes be used within (Flash CS3) along with ActionScript?

[Meinte van't Kruis]

what's so hacky about it? To my knowledge you point to an SWC the same way
you would point to actionscript classes, adding it to your classpath

would that not cause a security problem? or do you mean to store it on the

Re: [Flashcoders] online .swf generator

[Adrian Ionut Beschea]

we used  flex sdk on the server side and it proved to be very slow 
if you need it for on-the-fly generation I don't think it's an option.
why not using an general swf for all banners and just  slip the configuration 
file on the server.

You can render the output client side to a BitmapData object then use a
compression lib in AS3 to convert it to GIF or PNG or something then upload
that image to the server and avoid the whole SWF part?

could you use some kind of code injection like flashdev used to do (and

Re: [Flashcoders] online .swf generator

[mike cann]

You can render the output client side to a BitmapData object then use a
compression lib in AS3 to convert it to GIF or PNG or something then upload
that image to the server and avoid the whole SWF part?

[Flashcoders] MovieClip path

[Michael William Ypes]

In as2 whenever you wanted to know the heirarchy of the movieclip I  
would just trace(this) and it would give _level0.mc1.mc2.mc3 etc.


How can you achieve that in as3 as it returns the type [object  
MovieClip] and not its location.


I am sure it can be done as it was a very handy thing for when you get  
lost in your mcs :)


Cheers

[Flashcoders] Re: [ Air Application - File.browse ] - Font file

[david costard]

OK I find a solution.
I can't select a font if I try to select it in the Windows Font Folder.
If I try from a non System folder (for ex: d:\projects\font) it's ok.

[Flashcoders] can't get selected item from PopUpMenuButton

[philtre flash]

I'm trying to create a simple form with two TextInput fields and a
PopUpMenuButton.

My "dropdown" PopUpMenuButton uses an ArrayCollection as dataProvider. All
the labels are displayed and the itemClick event fires and returns the right
item from the collection.
However, upon submitting the form, I can't access the currently selected
item.

dropdown.selected returns false
dropdown.selectedField returns null
Menu(dropdown.popUp).selectedItem returns null
Menu(dropdown.popUp).selectedIndex returns null
Menu(dropdown.popUp).data returns null

However,
dropdown.dataProvider and Menu(dropdown.popUp).dataProvider both return the
ArrayCollection object.

Is there any way to get the currently selected item from the
PopUpMenuButton, without using the itemClick event?

thanks,
philtre
