RE: [Flashcoders] as3 -re-dimensioning spirte but not its children

Or you could create a new 'duplicate' sprite (instead of scaling the original) and re-parent the children to the new sprite using: newParent.addChild(objectToReparent); C: -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com

i-ve just done that , it worked out well thanks! The last time I came across this problem, I used an MOUSE_MOVE loop to check everytime if the x and y mouse positions were inside the stage area, and if not I called the same function that should be called on the MOUSE_LEAVE event... Ruy

AFAIK ExternalInterface doesn't work in the standalone player, only in the browser. You should be getting error messages to that effect. You can test whether or not it's available to use with the Boolean ExternalInterface.available property. BH -Original Message- From:

Re: [Flashcoders] Seek bar not working with FLVPlayback Component?

2009-07-30 Thread Peter B
From the article Sam links to: Navigation cue points are used for navigation and seeking, and to trigger ActionScript methods when the cue point is reached. Embedding a navigation cue point inserts a keyframe at that point in the video clip to enable viewers to seek to that point in the video.

Well in that case, how would you create the navigation without increasing the size of the flv? If he only has two frames, can he set cue points for a time based navigation instead of frame based? Karl Sent from losPhone On Jul 30, 2009, at 7:53 PM, Peter B pete...@googlemail.com wrote:

You can't. Setting cue points for time based navigation inserts a key frame. You can only seek to key frames. It's all covered in that article, specifically: Specify the type of cue point you want to embed. You can embed either a navigation or event cue point. * Event cue points are used to

Fwiw, you can set Actionscript cue points that trigger when your flv reaches a frame. That wouldn't increase flv file size. This works irrespective of keyframes in the video file. However it has less accuracy (+/- 500ms apparently) than a metadata cue point and associated keyframe. var

Sure Barry, that's the first type of cue point described in the article. You can't seek to an event cue point though. Cheers Karl ;) ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
