[Flashcoders] JavaFX released

[Jason Van Cleave]

Curious to what others think...

Interesting that it can play flvs out of the box. I haven't seen the
feature in action but supposedly you can drag applications from the
browser to the desktop. The free NetBeans IDE is a nice touch too.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loader bytesTotal equals to 0

[Jason Van Cleave]

No solution here either but I am curious. Does the Event.COMPLETE still fire?

Re: [Flashcoders] Stream Live from File

[Jason Van Cleave]

The player is setup for RTMP streams coming in live from a CDN. We are
doing a live event and this is in case the connection goes down and we
need to send a prerecorded stream to the same player.

I did find some "virtual webcam" software that creates a virtual
camera that Flash Media Encoder was able to pick up but getting sound
to work is kinda clunky.

So in the end I am just going the router of DVD player ->AV/DV
converter ->Flash media Encoder

[Flashcoders] Stream Live from File

[Jason Van Cleave]

I am currently looking for a way to stream a file based video to an
Flash Media Server. Flash Media Encoder apparently requires a camera
or deck source.

Has anyone seen a live media encoder that can use a file source? ANy
possible workarounds other than dumping the file to a camera/deck and
playing it back through?

Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] Can you embed .mp4 files in timeline?

no real explanation but Adobe said:

[Flashcoders] Flash Hardware Video Encoders

[Jason Van Cleave]

We are doing a live webcast event and I am wondering if you guys have
any experience/insight with hardware encoders that support Flash VP6
encoding.

The ones I am looking at in particular are the XStream series from kulabyte
http://kulabyte.com/index.php/main/product_xstream/

and the StreamZ Live encoders series:
http://www.digital-rapids.com/Products/IndividualProducts/StreamZ%20Live.aspx

Any insight on using Flash Media Encoder for a live webcast would be
appreciated as well,

Re: [Flashcoders] how many coders here actually have a degree related to computer science?

[Jason Van Cleave]

A huge portion of getting a decent job or freelance work is getting your
name out there and building experience by finishing projects.

College was a great place for me to meet people with connections in the
field. I dropped out when one of the adjunct professors hired me, that lead
to a job at an agency, more freelance work, relevant experience, etc. I
eventually finished the degree years later (mostly just to do it).

So yeah, send out the portfolios and see what happens. People should let you
know what they are looking for. Often it takes time so I wouldn't drop out
without having something concrete to go on.

[Flashcoders] Soundmixer.computeSpectrum and Loaded Swfs

[Jason Van Cleave]

I am loading in a few swfs, each with video embedded on the timeline.

I am trying to use  SoundMixer.computeSpectrum  to make a visualization but
it isn't getting any values. I can control the loaded swfs volume with
soundTransforms and SoundMixer.areSoundsInaccessible() is reurning false. No
crossdomain/security issues either.

//

this.width = width;
this.height = height;
x = width/2;
y = height/2;
 this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, processSound);

}

//trace("processSound");
SoundMixer.computeSpectrum(soundBytes, true, 0);
graphics.clear();
graphics.moveTo(0, -circleSize);
graphics.lineStyle(lineThickness, lineColor);
volume = 0;
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 512; i++) {
var lev:Number = soundBytes.readFloat();
if(lev!=0)
{
trace(lev);
}
volume += lev;
var a:uint = i;

 Hi there, I have to build a video player that plays a video with a

 to play sequentially also and also.

 Is there a way  can get an flv to buffer from a new chosen point of
 playback? (i.e. if the user skips to chapter 6  before the whole thing
 is loaded)

 If not I guess my best plan is to slice up my long flv into lots of
 little ones and make a custom seekbar that shows the chapters and
 allows the user to skip from chapter to chapter.

 What do yous think?

 Thanks!

sounds like a scope issue where you have multiple netstream objects

Re: [Flashcoders] filmmering FLV playback - why and how to fix that

[Jason Van Cleave]

was the original quicktime h.264? this format used to trip up squeeze and
may have the same effect with the flash encoder. I would first try to export
the file as uncompressed and reencode it to see if you are having the same
issues

[Flashcoders] Re: AS3: public override function set x

[Jason Van Cleave]

figured it out - i just needed to declare the return type as :void on the
set

public override function set x(n:Number):void
{
super.x=n;
//works

}

[Flashcoders] AS3: public override function set x

[Jason Van Cleave]

I have a class that extends Sprite. When the x value of the Class is changed
I want to know so I can change another value.

So I tried

override public function set x(n:Number)
{
   super.x=n;
   //added functionality would happen here
}
but I get "Incompatible override"

So I could build a setX method but this wouldn't prevent Class.x from being
directly changed

public function setX(n:Number)
{
x=n;
//added functionality would happen here
}

Any suggestions?

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple query strings in a single URL

[Jason Van Cleave]

I think

"FlashVars", 'whichSection=' +
querySt('page'),'loggedin='+querySt('login'));
  needs to be

"FlashVars", 'whichSection=' +
querySt('page')+'&loggedin='+querySt('login');

You may want to check out SWFObject 1.5 that would make this much more
readable ie:
var so = new SWFObject("your.swf", "swfID", "100", "100", "8", "#ff");
so.addVariable("whichSection", querySt("page"));
so.addVariable("loggedin", querySt("login"));

it also has a function that grabs params from the url

Re: [Flashcoders] addCuePoint - AS2

[Jason Van Cleave]

I don't think cuepoints are anything inherit to Flash video/NetStream class
but just information that is injected in the flv metadata during encoding.

If you create an array to hold cuepoints as objects and track them with an
interval watching NetStream.time you should be able to create the same
effect.

You could also dig into the mx.video.FLVPlayback and
mx.video.CuePointManager classes to see how Macromedia did it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Remove Flash on a page?

[Jason Van Cleave]

if overwriting the div contents isn't working you may want to look at
SWFObject 2.0 which is I believe is more geared towards dynamic pages.

Word of warning  - the syntax is quite different from 1.5 if you are using
it on other swfs

[Flashcoders] AIR write to PowerPoint

[Jason Van Cleave]

I am currently doing some research for a project that is asking for output
to a ppt/pps file. The original version of this project used Director and
some Xtras to accomplish this.

In hopes of doing the newer version in Adobe AIR I am wondering if anyone
has seen any AIR apps that have this feature. I have came across
Sliderocket.com (nice flex app) which is hoping to incorporate it in a
future version.

Any insights in trying to get in and out of a PowerPoint file would be
greatly appreciated also.

Re: [Flashcoders] Error #1009

[Jason Van Cleave]

you can't reference the stage in the Mountain class until it is added to the
Display List. try this

package {
   import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

   public class Mountain extends Sprite {
   private var x0:Number;
   private var y0:Number;
   private var x1:Number;
   private var y1:Number;
   private var x2:Number;
   private var y2:Number;

   public function Mountain() {
   this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onStageAdded);


   }
   public function init():void {
   graphics.beginFill(0x256251);
   graphics.moveTo(x0,y0);
   graphics.curveTo(x1,y1,x2,y2);
   graphics.lineTo(x2, stage.stageHeight);
   graphics.lineTo(0, stage.stageHeight);
   graphics.endFill();
   }
   public function onStageAdded(e:Event):void
   {
   x0:Number =0;
  y0 =stage.stageHeight -150;
   x1=stage.stageWidth/2;
  y1:Number=100;
   x2 =stage.stageWidth;
   y2:Number =stage.stageHeight -150;
   init();

  }
 }

[Flashcoders] AS3 Coding Conventions Question

[Jason Van Cleave]

This is a pretty nice doc and I agree/use most of these while doing as3
development. The use of ALL_CAPS constants makes sense to me but I am not
understanding what the purpose would be to not make the variable be the same
as the value.

For instance, this is what Adobe says and does from:

http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Coding+Conventions

--
Constant names

Use all uppercase letters with underscores between words: OFF, DEFAULT_WIDTH
.

The words in the identifier must match the words in the constant value if it
is a String:

public static const FOO_BAR:String = "fooBar";

--

For me it makes more sense and helps consistency to make it:

public static const FOO_BAR:String = "FOO_BAR";


Anyone have a defense to Adobe's position?

[Flashcoders] Re: AS3 XML Namespaces Hell

[Jason Van Cleave]

Ok, I have it at least working with the below code through a roundabout way
and would love to hear a better one...

private function onXMLLoaded(e:Event):void
{
trace(this, "onXMLLoaded");
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var strippedXML:XML = new XML(String(xml.*));
var list:XMLList = strippedXML.item;
}

[Flashcoders] AS3 XML Namespaces Hell

[Jason Van Cleave]

I have an app that is was pulling some XML like this









with this i could load xml and eventually get an XMLList with

private function onXMLLoaded(e:Event):void
{
var xml:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
var items:XMLList = xml.item;
}

Now that we have move it over to a .net enviroment the output is like


http://tempuri.org/";>






Now I can't get an XMLList from this. I've tried just stripping it out with
this approach

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/XML.html#removeNamespace()

but nothing good

Any insights?

Re: [Flashcoders] 3 questions

[Jason Van Cleave]

1. check out describetype
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/flash/utils/package.html#describeType()

3. check for a width and height property of the bitmapdata to be greater
than 0 before using it

Heres a function i use but i also check if its too big to display

private function isValid(disp:DisplayObject):Boolean
{
var isValid:Boolean=false;
if(disp.width>0 && disp.width<2880 && disp.height>0 &&
disp.height<2880)
{
isValid=true;
}
trace(this, "isValid", isValid);
return isValid;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Error in Flex for automatically created classes

[Jason Van Cleave]

a couple of ways i use

1. Export a swc from your fla and Flex can use the classes in it

2. Load a complied swf at runtime and use getDefinition

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple moviecliploaders

[Jason Van Cleave]

I usually would break out the thumbs into their own class with a
MovieClipLoader for each but this may give you the same effect:

function displayThumbs()
{
for (i = 0; i < modelsArray.length; i++)
{
var img_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
img_mcl.addListener(this);
var path:String = "http://www.bottero.net/2008/images/modelos/s/ref";
+ modelsArray[i] + "s.png";
img_mcl.loadClip(path, thumb_mc.img_mc);
}
}
function onLoadInit(target:MovieClip)
{
main.hideMc(target._parent.loading_mc);

}

The Document class seems to be the issue. Making a Symbol, assigning the

Re: [Flashcoders] load flv and its metadata without start to play

you could use flvtool2 to get the metadata server-side and store it in a

Re: [Flashcoders] Compile .fla from Flex?

[Jason Van Cleave]

Yes, I saw went through it and got it going. I had some issues trying to
find the ant tasks as I was looking for it under the run button menu but
once I realized the external tools was only connected through the run menu I
got it to work.

Thanks for this, I'd wish I had found it earlier this year when I finally
went all over to the Mac/Eclipse/FDT. There is a lot of good info up there.

Re: [Flashcoders] Compile .fla from Flex?

[Jason Van Cleave]

On a Mac so FlashDevelop isn't an option. What I am looking to do is hit the
run button from inside Eclipse/Flex Builder have it jump over to Flash and
compile.

It's a minor inconvenience when compared to editing ActionScript in the
Flash Editor but I was hoping someone had built a bridge somehow.

[Flashcoders] Re: IE6 problem with SWFAddress?

[jason van cleave]

I have ran into this nightmare and am still not sure what causes it. Just as I 
thought I had it beat it I would do a as2js call and the swf would disappear in 
IE. Something else I have seen is Firefox freeze up the swf. If I had to 
retroubleshoot it again I would look for this:

-Are you using a getURL("javascript:jsFunction()") type call?

I have had your problem mixing these in with ExternalInterface. I would first 
try switching getURL javascript calls to ExternalInterface.

Another solution I have heard of is using setTimeout on the Javascript side to 
delay opening the window for a second

I ended up hacking up SwfAddress and moving it off ExternalInterface to the 
SwfObject/Javascript/ASGateway here:

http://blog.deconcept.com/code/intkit/

This has been my most solid in my testing (and lets SwfAdress work with Flash 7)

Good luck.

[Flashcoders] Re: flash on osx thru parallels/bootcamp

[jason van cleave]

I have. I tried FlashDevelop a while back and am planning on giving it another 
go and with the AS3 stuff I have just seen. I like how Sepy works with 
native .flp files and had versions on both the mac and pc. (I also have a 
horrible addiction to it's autoformatting.)

After hearing quite a bit about it I got TextMate this weekend and started to 
set it up. Looks very clean and  good replacement for BBEdit but I was suprised 
with it that it didn't have ftp support built in (without transmit). 

I work on multiple machines and platforms and am dying for a consistent editor 
between them. Flex/Eclipse looks like it has all I want but it will probably be 
another year before I will be able to be 100% over to AS3.

[Flashcoders] Re: flash on osx thru parallels/bootcamp

[jason van cleave]

I do some overly complicated worflow just to keep using SEPY. It goes like this.

Turn windows sharing on the the mac. Mount that share as a drive in Windows. I 
put all my classes here. I don't have the problem of the IDE not seeing the 
classes doing it this way.

Have Flash open on the Mac with all the correct fonts for the project. I edit 
all my classes in SEPY/PC and hop over to the mac to compile.

VirtueDesktop is great for this, allowing me to switch back and forth between 
platforms running fullscreen:

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16530

Sharepoints is great for setting up multiple shares on the mac:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12512



I use a similiar process to publish to the mac's Sites folder allowing me to 
test through a browser on both the mac and pc.
