[Flashcoders] Flash9 Debug player for Intel Mac

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

As far as I know it only ships with Flex, perhaps in the SDK.
Word is 9.0.28 debug plugin 'universal binary' will ship with Flex 2.0.1

Does anyone know if this exists? Or if it is on it's way soon?

Alternatively, is there any way to get the non-intel version to run  
on an intel mac?

I'm after some recommendations for encoding FLV files - we'll be  
delivering for two connections speeds - 256k and 1mb, in a you-tube  
style interface.

  What would the list recommend as the ideal kbps, audio data rate,  
codec ect? I'm pretty new to flash video.

Does anyone know if there is a way to embed flash transparent
(wmode=transparent) on a layer above an embedded Windows Media Player
active-x control?

So it's like this...

--Flash (wmode transparency)
---Windows Media play playing video
-HTML page

I've made a demo to achieve this and the Media Player itself is below the
flash - the video playing is on top of the flash.
Any ideas/workarounds?

Ajax magic :) a good idea but,
that’s difficult. I don’t have access to the html page, impossible.
I cant add js to the html..
 
Surely this shouldn’t be a limitation of the player?

TinyURL sends
HTTP/1.x 301 Moved Permanently
Location: blabla.com
So it seems the Flash Player can't resolve 301's.

> Can i manually eval 'http://tinyurl.com/k23u4'somehow?

Maybe you could hand it over to JavaScript via ExternalInterface, and then in 
JavaScript do some Ajax magic (send a HTTP HEAD request) and send the real URL 
back to Flash?

Cheers,
Claus.

[Flashcoders] Selection class makes me want to kick someone in theface

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

You have to rework your logic to the way flash handles selections,
Note, there can be a lag between new selections.
Also some things you just wont be able to do :(
 

> 2. A button appears near the selected text 3. The user taps the button 4.
The text field loses focus, launching Selection.onSetFocus, which checks if
the current selection, >
> now "null", is an editable textfield. Naturally, null is not, so the
button becomes hidden.

Focus will go something like
TextField, null, Button, If your listening for onSetFocus
Here's what I used 

public function onTextFocusOut( event : Object ) : Void
{
clearInterval( this.searchTextForRuleInterval );
getNextSelectionCounter = 0;
getNextSelectionInterval = setInterval( this,
"getNextSelection", 100 );
Key.removeListener( this );
Mouse.removeListener( this );
}

private function getNextSelection() : Void
{
var sFocus : String = String( Selection.getFocus() );
var aIndex : Number = sFocus.indexOf( "addRule_btn" );
var bIndex : Number = sFocus.indexOf( "displayText" );
var cIndex : Number = sFocus.indexOf( "Commit_btn" );

if ( aIndex !== -1 || cIndex !== -1 )
{
clearInterval( this.getNextSelectionInterval );
return;
}

else if ( sFocus == undefined || sFocus == "null" || sFocus
== null )
{
this.getNextSelectionCounter ++;
if ( this.getNextSelectionCounter >= 6)
{
clearInterval( this.getNextSelectionInterval
);
return;
}
}
else if ( bIndex == -1 && sFocus !== undefined )
{
if ( sFocus == undefined || sFocus == "null" ||
sFocus == null )
{
return;
}
else
{

ds.currentManager.getActions().updateState(ActionStates.commonWizardNav);
clearInterval( this.getNextSelectionInterval
);
return;
}
}
}



Although the code is ugly atleast it helps you determine what really
actually has focus!


Hope I helped

Subject: [Flashcoders] Selection class makes me want to kick someone in
theface

...which is, i gather, somewhat of a general consensus.

I'm working on a tablet pc application that requires the user to be able to
select text and transfer this text to other parts of the application.
The ideal way is as such:

1. The user makes a selection from *any selectable text field* 2. A button
appears near the selected text 3. The user taps the button 4. The selected
text is copied to a buffer 5. The selection is cleared 6. An event is
broadcast

Now my problem is, this is what happens:

1. The user makes a selection
2. A button appears near the selected text 3. The user taps the button 4.
The text field loses focus, launching Selection.onSetFocus, which checks if
the current selection, now "null", is an editable textfield. Naturally, null
is not, so the button becomes hidden.
5. The user releases the now invisible button 6. Selection.onSetFocus
gathers that the new selection is "null", and uh, returns focus to the text
field, which retains its selection.
7. Now that the textfield, which is "valid" in terms of this purpose, the
button is shown again.

Hmm.. Infinite cycle. Not cool.

The big issue here is that Selection.onSetFocus is called prior to
MovieClip.onPress. This basically means there's no way i can make changes to
the current selection before onSetFocus is called. With this in mind: How
the bloody hell is it possible to make changes to a selection with a button?
The more i kick this horse around, the more contrived the AS looks, and it's
becoming seriously demoralizing.

Any input is appreciated.

Hello :)

You can use my framework OpenSource "Vegas" : http://osflash.org/vegas

NB : you can find my project too in google code :
http://code.google.com/p/vegas/

With this extension ASGard : http://osflash.org/asgard

In ASGard you can find asgard.net.remoting package  :

AS2 version :
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/src/asgard/net/remoting/
AS3 version :
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS3/trunk/src/asgard/net/remoting/
SSAS version (FMS) :
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/SSAS/trunk/src/src/asgard/net/remoting
/

You can find example to use this implementation in AS2 example :
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/net/remoting
/

EKA+ :)

They are in the same domain, and I created a crossdomain.xml to cover
various hostnames (just in case). The required remoting classes are compiled
in as when the movie is not loaded into another, it runs as it should. The
issue is only when it is loaded into another movie.

Subject: [Flashcoders] ::dk:: issues with external data and external swf

Hi there - I have a movie in which I use remoting to load images and data.
When run on it's own, it functions perfect. When it is loaded into another
movie, some data does not load. I have used "service capture" 
and my data is in fact returned. Now I am pretty confident with the code
since it runs on it's own perfect. I thought at first that it might be a
scope issue or an issue with the _root time line - but I have ruled that out
as I only use a relative path as opposed to an absolute path.

IS this a known bug? I have been googling for a few hours already.


Thanks in advance!

[Flashcoders] Get Cursor x y position within textarea?

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

Has anyone had to do this previously.

I want to display a tooltip balloon where the cursor is within a textArea
component.

I'm restrcited to Flash8 for this.


I've looked into it and it's looks nasty,
So far I can see only a vague possiblity of achieving this although it
involves estimates.

TIA

I don't see why that would be.  Both "var i=1;i--;" and "var i=1;--i;" 
compile down to the exact same 8 lines of p-code:

  _constantPool "i"
  _push "i" 1
  _var
  _push "i" "i"
  _getVariable
  _decrement
  _setVariable
  _end

So i don't see how one can be faster than the other.  Maybe in other
languages this is the case?

I ran numerous tests using loops of 1 million on this but was unable to 
conclude one way or the other because roughly half the time one method 
was faster than the other.  differences ranged from 1 millisecond to 175 
milliseconds in both directions.  My only take on my results is that 
they are at least negligably similar.

This isn't true.  (i--) is one less line of p-code (and 9 less bytes of 
data) than (--i -(-1)) because it isn't doing the extra calculation of 
subtraction like I mentioned in my email.  Take a look at the p-code:

var i:Number = 1;
while (i--) {
   trace(i);
}

_constantPool "i"
_push "i" 1
_var
#4  _push "i"
_getVariable
_push "i" "i"
_getVariable
_decrement
_setVariable
_not
_if true goto #16
_push "i"
_getVariable
_trace
_jump to #4
#16 _end

--
var i:Number = 1;
while (--i -(-1)) {
   trace(i);
}

_constantPool "i"
_push "i" 1
_var
#4  _push "i" "i"
_getVariable
_decrement
_storeRegister 0
_setVariable
_push register0 4294967295
_subtract
_not
_if true goto #17
_push "i"
_getVariable
_trace
_jump to #4
#17 _end

I agree about it not being a big deal, but I prefer the (i--) method 
over (--i -(-1)) since I find it easier to read.

Hey Guys,

I've started a new flex mailing list for us Aussies!

This not an effort to move Australian developers away from using FlexCoders,
rather it may be useful for Aussie developers to post messages that may not
be suitable for the international list.

Anyway the details.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash/Actionscript Coding conventions

The best place to find conventions is in the component framework,
specifically the new flex framework uses upto date best practices.
Otherwise there are AS2 best pratices docs on the adobe site, I think they
were written by jen deHann

Hi all

The earliest document I could find about coding conventions for flash and
actionscript are from flash 5. Has anyone written up a guide for use AS2/3?

I prefer to use my java/javascript conventions as a base, but that still
excludes things like:

* Naming symbols/linkages
* Naming frames (not that I've had a need to, but in case...)
* Use of __ and _ in front of variable names. (_ is straight-forward
  enough, and the v2 comp. architecture seems to use __ for private
  vars that have corresponding get/set methods.

Any other conventions you guys use?

Thanks Bjorn,

This one seems to be a bit better than the Yahoo feed. What I like about the
yahoo feed though is that it returns you a "weather code" for each weather
condition (e.g. 29 for cloudy). This is really handy if you want visualize
the current weather condition.
Well I guess you can't have it all...

Good explanation of how it works.  The code is commented.

Also email me off-list and I can give you a proof of concept I did based on
this that is really simple and easy to figure out.

I'm not sure, I actually just found this solution through playing around
with some ideas. Which is why I haven't been able to get it to work for
safari yet. But have tested modern IE, FF, on osx and xp to work ok.

Luckily the adverse of this not working will still allow users to interact
with the site, the only limitation being that the site will assume a
absolute height.

But the concept is fairly simple and I will look around to see if there is.
If I cant find anything I can post a little write up. But there has to be
something out there from someone smarter than I, hehe :)

Use the draw method.  Create a BitmapData object of the appropriate size and
pass the clip you want as the first param.  The best solution for client to

Here's the cool part,
Say you want to display a video fullscreen.. The stage could be 1px x 1px,
it doesn't matter.
Let js pass in the window values and have an flash method equate the corrent
xywh coords.

What I'm basically saying is you can drop your reliance on the stage
completely rather than having to worry about resizing that bitch ;[

There's a better way to do it.
Have you seen swfObject?
Insert the swf into the html with noscale and showall, then you are not
limited to a stage size.
Have a listener set up in js for onResize and pass it into flash via
swfObject.

Hi Aaron,

I noticed a site doing that just this morning. Switching the swf attributes
from Javascript doesn't mess with the application's state? 
Does anyone have any sample code they could point at?

[Flashcoders] AS3 - Missing

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

I have just read over this thread and want add my 2 cents in.

There are different ways to achieve your desired results without such
changes.

With the list of countries why not use a HashMap for related data;

var vo:Country = {className:"Brazil"};

// factory implementation
inst = new MovieClip();
var _rendererHashMap[UIDUtil.getUID(inst)] = vo;

with the reference to data object you should be able to apply what ever you
want!

Also,
Unless you can you can turn timeline editing off in Flash 9 I don't see how
sprite can be an option to extend.

RE: [Flashcoders] Creating a drawing RIA

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

So you got a textInput componet and a combobox component and you want to
resize the textinput based on the values of the combobox?

If this is correct you could set up a handler for the cb.change event that
grabs the selected value and performs some logic like if selected value
equals 14 then textInput height equals 24 I guess?

If your give me a better description I'll help

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash and Skype

I've been looking around for about an hour and so far it seems no good.
I thought perhaps you can find out how it makes its connection and transfers
data through an exposed api, but naah.

Any looks like going back to FMS and getting pumped on licences and
bandwidth.

I guess there's always Red5. At least there is no license cost.

[Flashcoders] Flash and Skype

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

Yo,

 

Anyone here think it would be possible to run a skype video call through a
swf?

I mean without opening skype, maybe have it running in the background but
all the controls through flash.

[Flashcoders] as2lib HashCodeFactory

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

Hi,

 

*Note, this post is more directed towards a discussion rather than a fix.

I have been looking at this lately and am very intrigued.

These lines from this as2lib class basically set a __nKEY property on
everything with one line

 

// -

private static var _bInitialized:Boolean =
HashCodeFactory._initialize(Object.prototype);

 

private static function _initialize(o) : Boolean

{

o.__getKEY = function ()

{

this.__nKEY = null;

if (this.__nKEY == null)

{

this.__nKEY =
HashCodeFactory.getNextKEY();

_global.ASSetPropFlags(this,
["__nKEY", "__KEY", "__getKEY"], 7, 1);

}

return this.__nKEY;

};

o.addProperty('__KEY', o.__getKEY, null);

_global.ASSetPropFlags(o, ["__nKEY", "__KEY", "__getKEY"],
7, 1);

 

return true;

}

//---

 

Therefore every instance in my app now has a __nKEY property.

Only problem is that if I run through xRay or the Flash Debugger I get the
256 levels of recursion error.

Can anyone think of a way I can achieve the same result ( applying the
__nKEY property to every instance with one line of code ) without destroy my
debugging capabilities.

Surely someone must have run into something similar before?

[Flashcoders] destructors...

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

I have tried various ways of destroying instances.

I once used this type of implementation

// Parent Class
function buildChild() {
var myClass : MyClass = new MyClass();
myClass.addEventListener( "onDestroyChild", this );
}

function onDestroyChild( evt : Object ) {
if ( HashCodeFactory.getKey( evt.target ) == HashCodeFactory.getKey(
myClass ) )
delete myClass
}

// MyClass
function destroy() {
removeAllEventListeners();
dispatchEvent( { type : 'onDestroyChild', target : this } );
}

So basically it doesn't carry a reference to its parent.

But I'm not really using this implementation at the moment.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Pushing content from DB to Flash widget

Does anyone know if it's possible to push content from a database to a list
of flash clients (or widgets running on a desktop).

I can have a flash app that checks every X seconds for new content from a
database, but wondering if there's a way to do it in the other direction and
push the content from a database to the flash clients without them having to
poll the database. Are XML SocetServers the key here? Is there an issues
with server strain on such things if say 1000 clients are connected to the
server?

Any info, ideas or experiences would be appreciated.

Actually it just happened again - I hate v2 components (and components

I need is movie clip that scales a loaded jpeg and dispatches an event

Subject: [Flashcoders] Using EventDispatcher to update Controls and
otherVariables?

Hello There!

As long as we are on the topic of EventDispatcher, I have another
question that could really help me out.

If I have multiple Controls (and variables) throughout my application,
that were all tied to a SINGLE variable (that changes several times per
second), could I use an EventDispatcher method - to dispatch an event
whenever this specific variable changes, and have ALL those controls
subscribed to that Event, update themselves with this new value?

Right now, I have a Mouse position function (which runs every time the
mouse moves), that updates a TON of TextFields scattered throughout my
application with the mouse coordinates.  In my function, I have to go
through Each and Every TextField instance, and update the .text
properties.

Is there a better way to accomplish this, like using the Event system?
Or is this considered such a simple process, that manually setting the
.text properties for a ton of controls is just the easiest way, rather
than dispatching events?  (keep in mind, this variable gets updated many
times per second)

This topic has been on my mind for a LONG time now - and I would love a
definitive answer on how to do this.

Thanks in advance!

Mike

Or you could use a derivative of EventDispatcher, either GDispatcher or your
own and use;

instance.addEventListener( 'ALL', this );
instance.removeAllEventListeners();
instance.queueEvent( { type : 'whateverman' } );
instance.dispatchQueue();

RE: [Flashcoders] > Effects in Flash

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

There seems nothing wrong with the process you describe.
What seems to be the current problem though?
Is it that the navigation keeps rebuilding infinitely, or is it when the bg
changed the nav crashes as I understood before?

Hi

>  > timeline -> background (depth 1)

Yes, It might be a good idea to explain to current code base a bit. It's
mainly based on "simple" version of the MVC. I happen to have a
SiteController, and SiteView class which handle all the stuff of the Flash
website. For example, I have a displayBackground()-method in the
siteController which triggers a similar method in the siteView-method. I
hooked up some addEventListeners to the SiteView instance. It listens to
the events: navigationStartEvent, navigationCompleteEvent,
backgroundStartEvent, backgroundFadeInitEvent, backgroundCompleteEvent.

The events get triggered from the approriate associated movieclips which
get created at run-time in the SiteView class. Now when I load the website
I construct the SiteModel class, which will load the xml file with the
news and other stuff I need. Now when this XML file has been succesfully
triggered it will dispatch a event called "dataAvailableEvent". This then
triggers the method createBackground:

private function createBackground() {
trace( "createBackground()" );
background = createBackgroundContainer();
background._x = 0;
background._y = 0;
siteView.displayBackground( background );
}

Now as you might expect the SiteView will do the rest of the job, i.e.
attaching the movieclip for animation, and make the empty movieclip for
the image. After this animation has been done this also will raise a event
called "backgroundCompleteEvent", this again will trigger the
createNavigatio-method etc. You get the drill. Once this all is done, the
applicationInitiatedEvent will be dispatched this method will then try to
find out which page is needed based on the URL. If is not known it will
the trigger the "default" button, via: btn_home.onRelease(). This will
then load the content, which currently cause a infinite loop ;-)

> Function changeBG( bgMC ) {
>   // unload previous bg
>   // load new one
> }
>

Yes, but then I would need to make some sort of flag to ignore posting the
backgroundComplete-event in the Sitecontroller-instance. Probably it's a
easy way to solve this problem, though. Maybe I should just sned some
parameters a long with the creaeBackground-methid i.e. AppStart.

Maybe I should just sleep over it! Any suggestions are apperciated, maybe
my current design sucks.

Hija!

I am working on a Flash website which should support to change the
background based on a specific section. Now I want to make the website
using events/AS2, and such. Somehow I am staring blind on something,
hopefully anyone here can advice. I can tell it's a stupid question,
though.

Anyway my question is how can I construct some sort of way that make it
possible to switch background easily? I have implementation now which call
displayBackground() which makes the movieclips require such as as the
empty movieclip for the background image, and the background animation.
The problem I currently have is that this works fine when loading the
website, but when I want to change it later on it fails totally. Because
it wired up in "construction"-animation of the website. Meaning:
background -> navigation -> content. Each time I switch background this
happens again i.e. the navigation animation, and such. I don't want
that...

Anyone got some advice on it? I just don't know it at the moment. Greatly
apperciated.

(I said it was a dumb question, right?)

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash e-commerce site

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

The e-commerce website is not easy to achieve in Flash.
My recommendation, 
1. don’t assume it to be easy.
2. any amount of time you believe it will take you times it by 6.
3. don’t bother with oscommerce. You're better off with a proper OOP backend
where the business tier is separated from view.
4. most valuably, wait for FB2, data-binding, view states and all the new
features will cut your development time to a third of the previous.

RE: [Flashcoders] OT: Design patterns

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

One way to describe design patterns is to separate the responsibility of
classes in your application, therefore making decoupling possible.
Eg MVC separates the model, view and controller, potentially promoting
reusability, and the ability to work on either model, view or controller
independently of one another.

RE: [Flashcoders] OOP Concepts

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

After my experience with OOP the strength of OOP is not how you structure
your classes ( which is quite easy ), but rather how they communicate.

Expertise in use of design patterns and creating them mainly comes from
experiencing what works and what doesn't. 

With Flash related technologies I think it would pay to start off learning a
framework like cairngorm.

If you get familiar with utilizing the patterns and concepts they use in
that framework you will be neck deep in OOP with no desire to turn back.

Don't feel bad Anggie, I think it is an interesting topic that is worthy 
of discussion.  The problem is that "best practices" are quite 
subjective, and as such some people feel the need to be offended at 
alternative suggestions :)

Of course, the method I use (Eclipse/MTASC) really is The Best Practice, 
as in my infinite wisdom and experience have found that every other 
method is simply inferior, and only suitable for ignorant lemmings.  
You're all lemmings, you hear me!!  ;)

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] How do you code your Flash applications?

I personally use Eclipse / MTASC, so all code is class based.  In my 
Flash file all symbols that need functionality have a linkage id, and 
almost all of my symbols are only a single frame (unless shape tweening 
is needed).  To make the Flash compile faster, none of these symbols are 
linked to Classes in the Library, this is all done in the external code 
using Object.registerClass.

I find it a lot cleaner to have all of my code in a nice external 
structure, in a decent IDE.  My code is all right where I need it, I can 
control all animation simply (using an animation / tweening library like 
Fuse), and I can let the designers do almost whatever they like to the 
Flash file without worrying about them stuffing code up.  And, of 
course, I get decent version control on the source files.

After using this for a few months, I just wouldn't code inside the Flash 
IDE any more.  Movieclip spaghetti is a bitter dish.

Grant Cox

Troy, thanks for such a great explanation. I had the same idea I just 
cant wrap it around my head in programming termns.

For example if I have a property (array) inside a class it must be 
public so other intances of the object I create can access that property 
and they can write to it? And if that is true, how would I avoid having 
the property re-assigned (deleted or set back to its default value)? I 
guess here is where I have to have an if statement that checks if the 
property (array) already has values just "push" the next values into it.

Would you say Im in the right track?

Thanks again for the explanation.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Naming conventions for AS2.0 ...

 
Does anyone have an opinion, or a preferred method, in regards to
naming conventions for AS2.0 objects ?
 
For example, Macromedia recommends:
 
clip_mc (movie clip)
comm_lc (local connection)
names_array (array)
beep_sound (sound)
field_txt (text field)
etc, etc, etc
 
but what if I wanted to use an generic object or a boolean datatype:
 
listener_???:Object = new Object();
answer_???:Boolean = false;
 
These are just two datatypes Macromedia doesn't list in terms of
suffixes (search for 'About using suffixes to trigger code hints' in the
official Flash help documentation built into Flash).
 
So another technique I have seen is prefixing variables, like:
 
mcClip (movie clip)
lcComm (local connection)
aNames (array)
etc, etc, etc
 
Someone must have a foolproof way to do this, there must be
a technique that covers all possibilities for naming variables ???
 
Thanks,
Stephen.

Subject: [Flashcoders] NetStream.pause(false) sometimes pauses ??

Hello good people,

I'll start with the direct question, then give some details.

Is there a trick to making sure NetStream.pause(false) never pauses your
FLV?

I'm using Flash 8, exporting to player 8 format.  When I use NetStream's
pause()
function with "false" for the argument, it pauses my video.  But the
argument
"false" is supposed to mean "don't pause." right?  example:

var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
button1.onRelease = function() {
stream_ns.play("video.flv");
};
button1b.onRelease = function() {
stream_ns.pause(true);
};
button1c.onRelease = function() {
stream_ns.pause(false);
};

Here is what happens for me.  I'd really like to know if anyone else has the
same result.

button1 plays the video. (good)
button1b pauses the video. (good)
button1c resumes the video. (good)
button1c again pauses the video. (bad)
No amount of pressing button1b and button1c will resume playback. (bad)
I have to press button1 to get playback again.

According to Macromedia docs, NetStream.pause(false) should always result
with
the video playing, not paused.  Or am I missing something?

Hopefully someone out there has run into this and has the perfect quickfix
for
me!

Thanks in advance

Or you could use delegate to deal with any scope issues
And if Element extends MovieClip you may want to place them in onLoad for
good practice.
Public function onLoad( event : Object ) : Void

mc.addEventListener("ALL", Delegate.create( this, handlerMethodName

Thats not how EventDispatcher works.

Firstly, you need a movieclip whose class has EventDispatcher tied into it
(like the v2 components do).  Once that's working, the correct syntax is:

mc.addEventListener("click", this);
function click() {
  // do stuff
}

Hiya,

 

Is it possible to mix SMX components and MM's v2 components?  I seem to
be having trouble detecting events after adding SMX components.  Even a
simple test of adding a MM button (btn) to the stage and using the
following to add an event listener:

 

lo = {};

lo.click = function(evt){

trace('target:'+evt.target);

}

btn.addEventListener("click",lo);

 

Will suddenly fail if you drop the SMXTabPane tab component onto the
stage!  IS this because the smx.core.SMXobject has a function
addEventListener?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

app I built after reading "Essentail Actionscript 2.0"

I just wanted to respond because I wanted to be a pro!

I started a thread about a week ago for what new hires should review. 
It would be good for anyone not familiar with flash. Just search the
archives for my name.  I will also send you the doc offlist.

RE: [Flashcoders] End of flv playback event

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

I found using Buffer.Empty was not always reliable, so I went for
NetStream.Play.Stop

My issue with using NetStream.Buffer.Empty is that the video is not done
playing when this gets fired, at least not for me with progressive flv's in
Flash 7.  Also - if a buffer underrun occurs when they'res less time
remaining than the bufferlength, the Buffer.Empty status isn't even
returned.  I made this long odd exception for that in code for a video
player that I made before that seemed to work OK - but I just feel like
there should be a smoother more buletproof way of handling these events.

Is it better to cut your video to whole seconds?

RE: [Flashcoders] End of flv playback event

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

I just finished building a Flash 7 "multiviewplayer" that handles flv,swf
and mp3.
Anyway I ran into your problem and more with regards to the end of the flv
playback in Flash 7.

Solutions
The update time method
private function doUpdateTime(Void):Void
{
//ns.time was not updating quick enough after ns.seek()
//so if we are seeking we use the currentPos var instead
var m_time : Number;
if (m_seek) 
{
m_time = m_currentPos;
m_seek = false;
} 
else
{
m_time = m_ns.time;
m_currentPos = m_time;
}
var perc = ((m_time)/m_streamLength);
var owner:NSManager = this;
m_ns.onStatus = function (oInfo) 
{
//if(oInfo.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty" && m_time >=
owner.m_streamLength) 
if (oInfo.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop")
{
owner.killStream();
}
}
dispatchEvent({type:"streamTimeUpdate", percentage:perc,
time:m_time});// time:Math.round(m_time)});
}

The other main problem was scrubbing to the end of the flv 
What we had to do was pause the playback while scrubbing and then when we
released the scrub at the end off the bar we ran a condition

public function pause(p_pause:Boolean):Void
{
clearInterval(m_timeInterval);
if(m_currentPos >= m_streamLength) {
killStream();
} else {
m_ns.pause(p_pause);
if (!p_pause) 
m_timeInterval = setInterval(this, "doUpdateTime",
100);
}
}

Oh and the duration of the flv we got by using Burak's FLVMetadata Injector
and calling
public function getStreamLength():Void
{
// Obtains length through NetStream Object's onMetaData function
var dur:Number
var owner : NSManager = this;
m_ns["onMetaData"] = function (obj) 
{
//trace("#onMetaData# "+obj.duration + " converted = " +
Math.ceil(obj.duration * 1000));
owner.m_streamLength = obj.duration;
if (m_streamLength>0) {
owner.dispatchEvent({type:"streamTimeUpdate",
percentage:0, time:0});
}
}
}

Hope this knocks out a few issues for you guys

We also noticed that much of these problems have been fixed in flash 8

I hope this thread doesn't die.
I'd like to see what other methods are being used.

I'm actually considering applying a preprocess to our video mirror process
to inject a onlastsecond event with Burak's FLVMetadata Injector.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flex Style Flash MX2004 Components

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

Personally it was easier to recreate than modify components,

I'm sure there are a lot of developers with there own re-usable ui elements
where "graphic styles" can be changed.

What I was getting at before is we have Flash Developers who come from a
design background as apposed to a development background.

True indeed,
And all those Flex apps are starting to look the same.
A color change in the css does not constitute a new skin.

But I think once the Flash community really gets behind Flex you'll see a
change

Whenever I want to build a cool flash application and I have enough time and
resources I don't use flash components. 

Don't get me wrong I really like the idea of flash (v2) component
architecture. I wouldn't mind spending hours (as I did in the past) skinning
and formatting them. The only thing I ask for is a component set, that dose
not decrease the performance of my application. 

I created my own UI components for my applications. Ok they are not skinable
but they do their job just fine and my application runs smoothly. And it
certainly takes me less time to modify their graphics than it takes me to
figure out why my v2 application temporally freezes or why it takes a second
for a label in radio button to appear.

I mean that's what's flash all about - good looking and smoothly running
applications.

I disagree...users don't give a damn whether a component is skinned or not,
but whether it works as a piece of UI.  How many different comboboxes do we

I find just the opposite; I think it's easier in Flex.

I'm with you, though.  The pendulum has swung too far to the other side. 
Pre-Flash MX, it was "no Flash UI assets look the same".  Now, post Flex 1.5
it's "all Flex apps look the same".

Mars needs women.  Flex needs UI designers.

yeah, they do look better than the IDE ones, but its easier to skin stuff in
flash than flex from my experience thus far. due to this we are seeing more
and more apps looking very similiar, which as a non-designer i think sucks.

Hello Flash Gurus...

We've run into what seems to be a pretty big issue with Flash Player 8.  We
have an application (swf) that is loaded from our website and plays flv
files from the client's CDROM.  This worked fine in version 7, but is broken
in version 8 due to the new security model.  Has anyone run into this and if
so, have you found out how to modify the security settings so that a website
hosted swf can read flv's from a clients CDROM or hard drive?

Thanks for the help.
