[Flashcoders] NetStream.Pause.Notify
Hi All, I'm making a video player with netstream and netconnection but NetStream.Pause.Notify is not being picked up in my NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS listener. It is picking up NetStream.Buffer.Full and NetStream.Play.Start is firing when the video loads, so I don't think its anything wrong with my code. Does anyone have any experience of problems with something similar? I read on some forum posts that sometimes the NET_STATUS event can be very delayed when the code is a pause. I am playing back a locally stored progressive download flv.

[Flashcoders] OT: PDFs, HTML5 and iPads
Hi list... It seems to me that Flash might not be the tool most threatened by HTML5, but rather the PDF format. HTML5 obviously can't replace all of Flash's capabilities. But, it has all of these new tags that enhance the accuracy of describing documents. So, should the Adobe Reader plugin feel more afraid? On a side note, is the iPad supporting the Reader plugin?

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: PDFs, HTML5 and iPads
Michael, are you thinking HTML5 may replace PDFs online, or also as a format for sending documents via email, ftp, etc to be viewed and printed? Can see that online for information display.

The real problem is not market share but mind share.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: changing parent from child
As soon as you removeChild on child1, it loses the reference to the parent. If you want to continue on that tightly-coupled path, I would store a temporary reference to the parent, then unload child one and use the temporary reference to parent to load the new child. The design I would choose is to create an event that is broadcast from child1. In the parent, I would add an event listener to child1. When the event fires, unload 1 and load 2 from the eventlistener in parent. -jonathan On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 12:33 PM, Mattheis, Erik (MIN - WSW) ematth...@webershandwick.com wrote: Did you mean to say removeChildAt(0)?

RE: [Flashcoders] gotoAndPlay a sorted array
gotoAndPlay(mOnemTwo);
You need to pass just one element of the mOnemTwo array rather than the
entire array.
So:
gotoAndPlay(mOnemTwo[index]);

RE: [Flashcoders] OT: PDFs, HTML5 and iPads
Thanks everyone for responding. Brian, yes I was thinking along those lines. It just seems to me that as modern browsers zoom in on the whole page by pinching, etc, it means it's more acceptable to use pixels for text fonts, rather than ems or relative sizing. So if documents online can be designed at the pixel level, fully zoomable, with new descriptive tags, then it's feasible to fully render things like tax forms. I was just thinking that with the HTML5 tags, that might substitute for postscript pdfs. For something like a tax form, I can see laying out a bunch of divs, absolutely positioned, all with height=243px width=263px etc, exact dimensions, and filled with 12px Times, instead of what I might do otherwise, relative sizing, like fontSize=0.8em, which would be better for Section 508 compliance. The Flash on Androids just can't happen soon enough though in my mind. :-) - MM Michael, are you thinking HTML5 may replace PDFs online, or also as a formate for sending documents via email, ftp, etc to be viewed and printed? Can see that online for information display. For things like tax forms, business forms, and print design pieces I'm not sure how that would work. Thoughts? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Keith,
added [index] to the function;
now have the following error:
1120:Access of undefined property index.
Wish I could wrap my head around this. Any thoughts?

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: PDFs, HTML5 and iPads
Assuming you're talking about the iTunes plug-in, there's not a whole lot they can do about .Net software running on a Windows computer, spare alter how iTunes does it's thing. It wouldn't surprise me to learn (from reading the FAQ) that they've had to alter the software a few times to keep up with changes in iTunes. Even if it were illegal under DMCA (which I doubt), is sorta like the M4P DRM stripping apps out there: Sure they're illegal, but it's a costly fight for them and they can't win the war (ask the RIAA about that one). What truly frightens me is the idea that because this software allows you to use your software and hardware with a non-Apple product, you assume it is illegal. Has it really come to this? That we assume we can't actually use our own computers anymore? Now you kids get off my damn lawn! On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 3:18 PM, Karl DeSaulniers k...@designdrumm.comwrote: Curious. How did they pull this one off legally? And does Apple know about this? I would think that they would clamp down even harder on something like this. I mean, to me it seems this isn't much different then say jailbreaking an iPhone. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] gotoAndPlay a sorted array
Hi Don,
How are the different animations playing?
Are you having them play to the end of one then bounce over to the
next one in your final array?
Or is a user clicking a button to send it to the frame to play and
the button is just dynamic?
In your function, you can only go play one frame at a time and not
all the frames at the same time, so you have to choose one.
EG: If I wanted to play the second item in the final array,
function goOn(){
gotoAndPlay(mOnemTwo[1]);
};
setTimeout(goOn,+8);
I think Keith was using index as a reference to what index you
wanted, IE: 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.. not the actual word index.

[Flashcoders] help with CameraDetection class
Hey List, I wanted to throw together a list of Camera.name together. If you have a webcam that you use on your computer (or built in) could you please reply with the names of all the cameras that are connected. 1. Open a .swf (internet, local whatever) 2. Right click anywhere 3. choose settings from the context menu 4. go to camera tab (last one) 5. send me all the names that show up in your drop down Specifically I would love if a macbook user could help. macbooks tend to have three always there, and the last one is normally the webcam. I'm updating the macbook detection in my class. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the list of webcams, but I'll compile it and put it on my blog just in case. Thanks list, Ktu blog.cataclysmicrewind.com/webcamdetection/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] gotoAndPlay a sorted array
Don,
Yes, Karl is correct. In my post 'index' is a variable of type Number which
you would increment upon successive calls to function goOn(). You access
elements of an array by using the array access operator '[]'. The indices of
arrays are zero based, so the index of the first element is 0, the index of
the second element is 1, the index of the third element is 2, and so on. You
can use the length property of an array to find out how many elements there
are in the array. In your case you have an array with 9 elements so you
would want to use index values between 0 and 8. Note that mOnemTwo.length
(9) is one higher than the highest index value you can use with this array
(8). The sample code below includes an if/else block to manage index values.
// initialize index
var index:Number = 0;
function goOn(){
gotoAndPlay(mOnemTwo[index]);
// manage the index
if(index mOnemTwo.length - 1){
// increment index by one
index++;
}else{
// set index back to zero
index = 0;
}
};
I have to echo Karl's questions about how you are planning to make
subsequent calls to function goOn(). What you have, setTimeout(goOn,+8),
will kick off the first one (although I don't understand the '+8' in the
delay parameter) but what about the rest? Any suggestions I could make here
would be pure guesswork without knowing more about the structure of your
file.
