Hi,

I’m afraid I won’t be much help to you. I really don’t do any web development 
anymore. I think the last time was 2013 (maybe). I build pure applications that 
run on PC/MAC/IOS/ANDROID. They are only use net connections to pull data, but 
minimally. My games are self-contained, tracking and all. The marketing, 
training and/or presentational pieces are installed corporate side, so I really 
don’t have a solution or even a suggestion for you.

So very sorry, I’m not more help. I just came across www.krupa.com and their 
forums are current, so you might try there.

Hi-jacking is a good thing if you get some help or a suggestion. :)

H:)ppy Thanksgiving and I’ll check out StackOverFlow again. It’s been awhile, 
since I’ve visited that site, so I’ll have to catch up.

Later,
John

I never really used Flash much for the WWW. I build applications and Flash is 
doing great for me. I have over a dozen apps in the iTunes store and 6 of them 
are now going over to the Android store and dozens, upon dozens are available 
for PC/MAC.

Touchscreens for trade shows, corporate and private, kiosks, video walls,

 Flash isn't dying, its already dead. Doesn't matter how good the runtime is, 
 it's hardly used much anymore compared to what it used to be. Sorry, I don't 
 mean to be snarky, but I just don't agree with the Flash isn't dead idea. 
 Does it have to go away completely to be dead? No, but it's certainly lost 
 90% of its relevance on the WWW, and that to me, is dead.

Hi Karl,

Thank you for your links, but unfortunately, I saw all of these and they are 
dated 2009, 2010 and/or 2012 and use the API v1. That API was retired in May of 
2013. 

I found this from the Twitter Developers pages:

We've chosen to throw our support behind the JSON format shared across the 
platform. Consequently, we’ve decided to discontinue support for XML, Atom, and 
RSS.”

And all the examples I’m finding are older and whether its direct calls from 
Flash or PHP, if they are calling to .rss or .xml and through the API v1, the 
pages don’t exist or links are broken, etc.

Very frustrating and that’s just Twitter Having less luck with Pinterest and 
Instagram. 

Thanks again though for the suggestions,

[Flashcoders] Pulling data from social media

2014-08-25 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
Howdy all,

Well my client wants to pull 20 latest feeds from their Twitter, Instagram and 
Pinterest. I’ve already found out that Twitter stopped supporting RSS feeds and 
retired the REST api v1 and now have the Twitter API v1.1 that is JSON only. 
Does anyone access Twitter feeds some other way. Twitter says that RSS is out 
and I haven’t worked with JSON before.

Also, I’m trying find out about how to access Pinterest and Instagram to just 
get the number of followers of four specific users. I really can’t find any 
meaningful help out their in relationship with Flash/AS3.

Has anyone done either of these or know of a direction you can point me in to 
get some guidance?

[Flashcoders] Flash to HTML

2014-06-19 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
The group has been quite for awhile. Anyone still here?

I know things are constantly evolving, I’m curious if anyone has found a good 
tool that will convert a rather complex game from Flash to HTML? I know Adobe 
has tools to convert timeline animations and graphics and minimal code and 
Google Swiffy came around when CS4 was out. I’m looking around to see if there 
is any newer developments in bringing existing Flash AS3 apps to HTML. Even if 
it’s not one to one, but at least gets me a good start, please through out your 
thoughts and/or suggestions.

Much appreciated…

Hi Mike,

Not sure what you mean? I have a game that is written in AS3 and deployed via 
AIR to PC and MAC desktop, iPad’s and Android. Now my client wants to take it 
online, but I can’t use it as a Flash site, but then IOS and Android tablets 
won’t be able to access the app. So it will have to go to HTML5/CSS/jQuery. I’m 
just curious if there are any conversion tools to either automate that process 
or at least convert most of it and I’ll code the rest. 

Thanks,

Howdy,

I know that and I’m sure most developers do too, but I promised the client I 
would do my best to look into it, before I give him the inevitable bad news. 
The assets are the problem as much as the extensive coding. This is a real-time 
simulation of living on your own for a year (52 weeks on a per week bases). 
Just a ton of stuff going on and being tracked. 

Our clients TOO often hear create once and deploy everywhere. We are already 
ahead of the game delivering about a dozen apps/games on the three platforms. 
But I don’t see a way to do it on the fourth and then your forced to maintain 
two codebases of each game. That also sucks. :(

[Flashcoders] fscommand launching of externals

2014-04-10 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
Howdy all,

My client wants to have about 12 different exe files launched from a single 
Flash front-end projector and much of their content has same named files, hence 
I need sub-folders. All of my research indicates that an external .exe file 
must reside inside of a folder called fscommand and you cannot path down to 
sub-folders.

Does anyone know of a way to launch .exe files from a Flash projector into a 
fscommand folder and then into sub-folder?

Example: 

fscommand(exec,sub_1/start.exe);
then
fscommand(exec,sub_2/start.exe);

and so on.

 Yup, video plays behind the display list only, under the stage, because that 
 is where the gpu can process it rather than the cpu. So, I think the 
 workaround is to have the background graphic as a frame, which is in 
 actuality above the video with a transparent center, but at least preserves 
 the appearance of background graphic consistent with the style of your app.
 Take what I say here with a grain of salt as I've only really dealt with 
 video in an AIR app in the real world for android, so perhaps someone else 
 can weigh in with more hands on knowledge and iOS experience. I read up on it 
 a while back for an iOS AIR app that ended up not including the video 
 component.

Re: [Flashcoders] Looking for simple solution to edit xml inside flash file

2014-02-12 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
Hi,

Then either you have to roll your own, (write something from scratch in AS3) or 
look for something online like this: 
http://www.findbestopensource.com/product/as3-xmltexteditor

Where you can take someone else's code as a start and then try and 
incorporate/modify it into your project.

Good luck,

[Flashcoders] Video question

2014-01-31 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
Hello again,

Has anyone used Youtube or Vimeo videos in their Flash app? My client will 
produce the video's and post them, then want a Flash based game that will play 
those videos on demand from within the game.

I've always had the videos either next to the .swfs or on another server, using 
a crossdomain.xml. Can a YouTube or Vimeo be embedded into my app to look like 
part of the game or do you end up with pop-up video windows?

Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR

2013-05-20 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
Webkit is dragging its feet, is exactly why Google pulled away from Webkit and 
has gone over to their render engine Blink. Apple is not interested in pushing 
HTML5 acceptance in webkit, just like they didn't want Flash around either. 
They want you buying apps through the App/iTunes store and paying them for 
their use. If you can play and use great apps on the web for free (with HTML5 
OR Flash), they don't make their 30%. 

They better wake up fast.

Void was AS2 and wasn't really necessary.

void is AS3 and since it uses strong typing, very necessary. void will not 
return anything. If you want back values (numeric) use Number (text) use 
String, etc.

Sorry, but when someone says that HTML5 is replacing what can be done in Flash, 
I can't take them seriously. Flash made what you built look and act the same in 
all browsers. HTML5 is going the same path as every previous version. Features 
working some the same, some differently, some not at all from browser to 
browser. Apple is dragging its feet on supporting HTML5 standards, so people 
keep buying apps through their stores. That's why they didn't want Flash 
around. You could get tons for free, cool stuff on the INTERNET. Google has 
pulled away from webkit in support of their render engine Blink, because they 
are fed up with Apple. This is only going to divide our playback world even 
more. So much for standardization. HTML5 is more of a problem than a solution. 

But again, since I don't develop for the web much, I'll just keep giving my 
clients what they want now and wait to see what shakes out. :)

I'm submitting an app for the iTunes store. I've seen examples in the store and

Example: Calculator Pro for free is the title in the iTunes store and the icon 
when installed is Calculator Pro. Because your limited to 15 characters for the 
icon. 

After doing research, it seems that in the appname-app.xml file, I should be 
able to set the CFBundleName in the iPhone section in InfoAdditions. 

 iPhone

/InfoAdditions
/iPhone


I keep getting this error: app.xml(47):error 105 invalid element.

I remove the keyCFBundleName/keystringShortername/string, and it 
compiles and loads to the tablet fine.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Howdy,

Well I'm curious if anyone can help me with this one. I've built for a client a 
presentation tool. It consists of 45 slides (jpegs) and some of them get 
customized with dynamic text fields and imported logos. They build 
presentations, selecting the slides they want, the order of display and the 
text/logos to be added and then show that to their clients. (I know, they had 
be build PowerPoint) :).

Well now they want to take those custom presentations and print them out to a 
PDF to give to their client. They are on PC laptops. I've looked into purePDF 
and AlivePDF, but these solutions seem to be web solutions. This app is an AIR 
app, installed locally on each individual laptop as a stand-alone app with no 
NET connection. I suggested that they install a PDF driver on the laptop and 
I'd build the print function in the app to let them print to that selected PDF 
printer driver. They don't like that suggestion.

Well now they want to take those custom presentations and print them out to a 
PDF to give to their client. They are on PC laptops. I've looked into purePDF 
and AlivePDF, but these solutions seem to be web solutions. This app is an AIR 
app, installed locally on each individual laptop as a stand-alone app with no 
NET connection. I suggested that they install a PDF driver on the laptop and 
I'd build the print function in the app to let them print to that selected PDF 
printer driver. They don't like that suggestion.

Has anyone does something like this before and have a solution or suggestion I 
could pursue? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] Exhibition type kiosks

2012-11-30 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
The touchscreens I've done recently have to on 50 screens, mostly in a 
vertical orientation. It's ironic that gestures and touch/swipe was brought to 
us by Apple and all the screens have PC drivers only. :) Go figure.

The hardware is dependent on what your program will be doing. I've had some 
that ran on anything desktop and a couple that a separate running animated 
video background for each of seven sections, plus 20 selectable videos and a 
125meg attract video, along with all the content and graphics for the seven 
sections and we brought just about every PC to its knees. Ended up with a very 
high box, with a beefy graphics card. 

So really your hardware selection gets driven by what your going to build, 
system resource requirements, usage (kids :), a length service (time wise). 

If you want specific hardware spec's, I could ask a couple of my clients what 
they settled on.

When you compile your main movie, its compiled to native code for the iPad. 
External swf's are not. You have to rethink the way you structure your build of

If you only want PC, this will work. For the MAC is .saver.

You also have to listen for any key strokes, key presses or mouse movement to 
exit your program. 

And don't forget that users have NO idea where to put a .scr file or the .saver 
files and on the MAC side the LIbrary folder is usually hidden to the average 
user.

  I do think it'll get easier,

I sincerely HOPE, so since it takes 3 - 4 times longer now to do what I can 
currently do with Flash.

 Well, you have a point - but once the basics are covered (video, audio, DOM, 
 CSS3, and Canvas), and reasonably compatibly implemented between all the 
 browsers (and the old browser finally having died off),

IE 6 was introduced August 2001 and is still the predominant corporate browser, 
so when do you see old browsers dying off? Another decade?

 (IE 10 is looking good). 

IE hasn't looked good (or worked well), SINCE 6 and has been the bane of most 
web developers.

 We are a few years off though, for sure.

I couldn't agree more.

[Flashcoders] PDF files in Flash

2012-02-11 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
Has anyone heard of or has done this before?

I have a client that wants a Flash app and one of the requirements is to be 
able to pull PDF's into the interface. There are some 80 different PDFs and he 
use to have a app built in Director using the PDF Xtra from Integration. I 
loves the application and wants to make in Flash now, but can't find any info 
on the web about PDF's inside of Flash.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
John

Re: [Flashcoders] text input conditionals

2012-02-06 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
Test the .length of your field.

if (your_input_txt.length == 0)
{ 
  trace(It's empty);
}

or set it:

 your_input_txt.text = ;

if (your_input_txt.text == )
{ 
  trace(It's empty);
}


Which ever you prefer.

Good luck,
John

 I have a form with many fields. Four of the fields are not required, but if 
 any one of the four has text entered, I would like to have a conditional if 
 statement to tell the user to fill out the other three fields.
 
 I am struggling with how to check whether any type of character at all is 
 entered into an input field. I know how to check if the field is empty, how 
 do I check if the field contains anything?
 
 Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Something like this, but flushed out more.

function doTestFields():void
{
if (Phone.text == )
{
if (Address.text ==  || City.text ==  || Country.text ==  
|| State.text ==  || Zip.text == )
{

trace(Please enter data);
}
else
{
trace(Address info done do stuff);
}
}
else
{
trace(Phone filled out do stuff);
}
}

 What I'm trying to do is give the choice of filling out the Phone field OR 
 the address fields ( 2-6).
 If they choose the Phone field, none of the address fields are required.
 If they choose one of the address fields, all of the address fields are 
 required.

re: [Flashcoders] SQLite and AIR

2011-10-19 Thread John R. Sweeney Jr.
Just checking in again. Didn't see any response and wasn't sure if no one has 
worked with SQLite or the email just got lost in our assorted arrays of mass 
emails. :)

Any help or comments are appreciated.

Thanks,
John


Previous: 

I have a client that wants their database driven app to work on PC, MAC, iPad2 
and Android tablets. Has anyone used the built in SQLite in AIR on these 
platforms and if so, are there any caveats? 

I've been searching the web, but don't see a lot of AIR/SQLite specific info 
and right now we are in the quoting stage, so I want to control their 
expectations of what can and can't be done. The research has been tough to 
obtain.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
