[Flashcoders] Question: Fullscreen but want to retain a movieClip's width and height
Hi Guys, I'm building a video player with a fullscreen fuction. I am trying to figure out how to maintain a movieClip's (video control bar) original height and width while in fullscreen mode. I can't seem to wrap my head around how to go about it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[Flashcoders] List component transparentBackground?
Is it possible to make the List Component's background color transparent.
I googled and found this but it doesn't appear to work:
list.setStyle("backgroundDisabledColor", "false");
list.setStyle("borderStyle" , "none");
is there something else I need to do? or is it even possible.

Re: [Flashcoders] @#$% New iPhone Developer Agreemen t Bans the Use of Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler
Wow thanks for the advice. Crap, it took me almost a year make the switch from AS2 to AS3. How long is going to take to learn obj-c? It's not at all intuitive. Many of us were looking forward to jumping right in with CS5. Now I get to be a newbie again and start from the very beginning? Think about what that involves - remember what it was like to figure out how to use Flash when you first started? I think I will go completely insane if I go through the trouble of learning obj-c (a year, maybe?), asking stupid questions on every iphone dev blog, finally create an App, submit it to the store, only to have it rejected. --Carl On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 8:24 AM, Jon Bradley wrote: > I wouldn't call that amazing – I would call that whining.

Re: [Flashcoders] WIRED hates Flash
I personally have been getting more and more upset about apple's stance on Flash. I feel the reason Apple's market share has increased especially in the corporate environment is because designers and flash developers have been evangelizing macs since day one. I feel like its a slap in the face to the people that cheered them on the most. this thought sounded better when I was drunk last night :P -- Carl Welch http://www.carlwelch.com On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 10:07 AM, Kevin Newman wrote: > The case is easy: > > 1.

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 to iphone app
Has anyone read the reviews of the apps that were created with Flash? There were many complaints about the apps being really slow. Adobe should think twice before releasing this software unless they are sure it will run as well as a normal iphone app. They are running the risk of losing credibility, including that of the Flash programmer that releases an app with this tool.

Re: [Flashcoders] Playing an encrypted f4v
Thanks for that info. Actually we have a fully licensed version of the Flash Media Server, but to tell you the truth, We didn't care for how the video streams from the server. My client really needs to have smooth seek functions, plus want want to capture screenshots of frames using the bitmap functions (FMS won't let you do this). If there is a way to implement progressive streaming and still maintain a level of security that would be great. They like the responsiveness of the seek controls after the video fully (progressively) downloads. Where as, with FMS the video has to re-buffer... the responsiveness just seem to be lacking. If I am wrong about this, please correct me. Security on this project is key, and of course as luck would have it, one of the higher-ups had Real Player installed and is able to download the videos we are loading. So, that's where the encrypted video request comes in. To test, I was given a f4v encrypted with blowfish. So I'm hoping I can load the f4v as a binary or bytearray -decrypt and play... I'm having doubts that its even possible.

[Flashcoders] Playing an encrypted f4v
Hi guys, My client asked if I could load an encrypted f4v, decrypt it and then play it. I found the as3Crypto libraries, so I have that part covered. Now I'm wondering if its even possible to load the f4v as a binary file or something, decrypt and then play it. I've tried a couple of tests with an unencrypted file but I can't figure out how to get around not using the netstream function. So basically my question is if this is even possible or am I headed down a dead end street? Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

[Flashcoders] AS3 - How do I apply a function to a dynamically generated movieClip?
Hi Guys,
I just realized I can't apply functions to MC's like I did with AS2. I
am creating a bunch of movieclips from some data I get from an xml

nothing fancy. Would some kind soul give me a nudge in the right
direction?
Here's what I'm doing wrong:
var myFolder:MovieClip = new folder_mcDefault();
myFolder.FolderName.text = FolderNode.name.text();
myFolder.x = 8.5;
myFolder.y = 70.2+(i*31);
myFolder.BG_Clickon.alpha = 0;
myFolder.buttonMode = true;
myFolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, f_rollon);
myFolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, f_rolloff);
function f_rollon(evt:MouseEvent){
// Back in AS2, I would have used "this" instead of
"myFolder" but that doesn't work either //
myFolder.BG_Clickon.alpha = .1;
}
function f_rolloff(evt:MouseEvent){
myFolder.BG_Clickon.alpha = 0;

[Flashcoders] changing video playback speed with timer listeners
Hi,
I need to build a function that changes the playback speed of a FLV. I
am trying to make it so every time you hit the "+" key the FLV plays a
little faster, and when you hit the "-" key, it plays a little slower.
From what I've read, there is nothing built in. Someone suggested
building a timer script to seek a frame forward or back. So, I've done
that, but when I hit the keys its just creating a new timer and not
killing the old on, leaving me with a bunch of timer firing off at
varying times. How can I "KILL" the timer so I can create a new one
with a new timerspeed?
any clues? thank you! My sorry looking code is below:
var myTimerActive:int = 0;
var videoSpeed:int = 5000;
var videoSpeedVAR:int = 10;
var timerTimes:int = 0;
// hitting + or - will call videoPlaybackTimer(fastslow)
function videoPlaybackTimer(fastslow) {
if(fastslow == "faster"){
videoSpeed = videoSpeed+videoSpeedVAR;
}else{
videoSpeed = videoSpeed-videoSpeedVAR;
}
videoSEEK.text = timerTimes+" / videoSpeed: "+videoSpeed;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(videoSpeed);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
myTimerActive = 1;
myTimer.start();
timerTimes++
}
function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
stream.seek(stream.time+.1);
stream.pause();
}

[Flashcoders] AS3 - have a problem parsing my data from JSON
Hi,
I'm having a difficult time pulling data out of some JSON I'm
currently working with. The following script is something that I found
online using Adobe's corelib to parse the JSON, but the sample JSON
the guy used was really basic. The one I'm working with has a few
levels. For example, how would I pull out the "date_created"? I've
tried calling it with dot syntax but I keep getting errors. Can
someone shed some light on this for me? Thank you in advance... Cheers!
The script I'm using with corelib:
import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader() ;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest() ;
request.url = "someJSON_URL" ;
loader.load(request) ;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, decodeJSON) ;
function decodeJSON(event:Event):void {
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
var evData:Array = JSON.decode("["+loader.data+"]");
myFlashVars.appendText("\n" + String(evData[0].xml));
for (var key:Object in evData) {
myFlashVars.appendText("\n" + "\n" + String(evData[key]));
}
}
My JSON looks like this:
{
"xml": {

Re: [Flashcoders] How much would you charge?
The comment about a client being 'none the wiser' and the implication that you're just making the extra dough by handing off some crap someone else did is what's not cool. The point was, if you're repackaging something that someone already did without any value add, then that's dishonest. Hands down, end of story. then stop using Flash and create your own programming language while your at it...if you want to be completely"honest". You pay a fee to use Flash, you also can pay a fee to use an extension (read:component) inside of flash... speaking of components, I hope you don't use the datagrid component either. But hey, go ahead and waste all of your time and program your own - reinvent the wheel, go for it, be super duper "honest" sheeesh. If tools are available to help you finish your work in as little amount of time and with limited amount of de-bugging needed, then use them my point was/is to maximize your dollar to time ratio. If you quote someone $350 dollars for a project and you finish it in an hour, you can say you make $350 an hour... but if it takes you 40 hours to do the same job you make $8.75 an hour. I'm pretty sure that is minimum wage and you might as well go work for Burger King. I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm not in this business to make minimum wage. I have mouths to feed. Dollar to time ratio, baby, that's what its all about when you're a freelancer and I'm a one man sweat shop. No matter what you say or think, you have to be a smart business person too as a good developer/ designer. And for the record I am not affiliated in anyway with slideshowpro.

[Flashcoders] AS3 - problem with sound object
Hi guys,
I am working on a mp3 player that receives a javascript call with the
name of the file to be loaded. On the first call from JS, it plays
fine, but if another file is selected it fails. It only works once, in
other words. I tried putting the new Sound() and new SoundChannel()
inside of my playAudioA function, but then I just get endless layers
of audio, AND my other functions that reference the Sound and the
SoundChannel die.
Can someone take a look and tell me where I'm going wrong?
ExternalInterface.addCallback("playAudio",playAudioA);
var s:Sound = new Sound();
var sc:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
function playAudioA(audioPath, audioImage, trackid):void
{
try {
s.close();
}
catch (error:IOError) {
}
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(audioPath);
s.load(req);
s.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
s.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadDone);
sc = s.play();
}
Thank you!

Hi flashcoders, I am looking into becoming Flash Certified. Does anyone know about how to prepare for taking the exam? What books or programs are available?

Re: [Flashcoders] Attaching a change handler to a dynamically generated comboBox
I'm using Flash 9.
I just tried using this instead of setChangeHandler:
var myComboBox = myScrollBox.createClassChildAt Depth(mx.controls.ComboBox,
DepthManager.kTop, {_x:10, _y:10});
myCondition.change = function(eventObj){
// combo = myComboBox.getSelectedItem().data;
combo = myComboBox.selectedItem;
trace(combo.label);
}
myComboBox.addEventListener("change", myCondition);
... And it didn't work either. Any advice?
Thanks,

As far I remember setChangeHandler() was used in v1 component library
for Flash 6. Are you surely using v1 components? I don't think so,
since there was no createClassChildAtDepth(), mx.controls.ComboBox
class, etc. In v2 components there is an other way of attaching event
handlers (addEventListener, "change" event).

--===--
Hello List,
I am having an issue with attaching a "change" handler to a ComboBox
that is being dynamically generated. What is wrong with this code I am
using?
var myComboBox =
myScrollBox.createClassChildAtDepth(mx.controls.ComboBox,
DepthManager.kTop, {_x:10, _y:10});
myComboBox.addItem({label:"Foo", data:"FooBar"});
function comboDisplay(component) {
trace(myComboBox.getSelectedItem().data);
}
myComboBox.setChangeHandler("comboDisplay");
As a test, I tried:
myComboBox.onPress = function() {
trace(myComboBox.getSelectedItem().data);
}
... and it did trace the first item, but of course it wouldn't work as
a dropdown anymore.
Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash https / IE wierdness

seem to make it all work in both IE and Firefox.

Hi All
I have a swf that loads an rss feed then loads images and displays them.
This works fine on our local dev server, the live server and on the staging

and none of the text in the rss appear either.
The only difference is that the staging server is running on https (it comes
up with an invalid certificate when you load the site).
It's very odd that it works in firefox and not in IE.
Does IE handle https urls any different than Firefox?
Thanks
Hope someone can help.

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help creating an old-skool arc or circularscrollbar

You could also put some trace calls in the classes or methods you think are clearing, and if it stops tracing then you know it's gone from memory. Additionally you might want to look into better organizing your setInterval. Maybe put them in an array that you can query. When you clear the interval set that index to null. You could trace the array and see all the non-null values. Maybe you could also make a class to manage your setInterval calls better. A clearAllIntervals method in a interval management class could help out a great deal. I've also had problems before with Delegate memory leaks.

Re: [Flashcoders] about depth
I've been having the same exact troubles. I always assumed that if you load
an image into a "createEmptyMovieClip" that the clip will stay at the level
you told it to - but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Hi My idea is to set a dinamyc background in the layer 1 of my flash
(so far it has 10 layers)
the code is as:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myClip", 0);
myclip.loadMovie("back1.jpg");
but when It loads the jpg, the jpg is above all the other layers,
when I really needed this underneath.
Someone knows what should I do?

p.S: I don't know much about this depth thing, but I'm really stuck
with this problem.

[Flashcoders] High CPU usage problems
Hi Coders, I've been having problem with some the apps I've been building. The CPU gets really bogged down like with usage often at 100%.I tend to use alot of tween classes, load external images and XML. I've never really had a good grasp of what to do with things regarding memory usage(programatically). I like to keep all my scripting on one frame and have function do what I need do. Currently, I am having the problem with this project: http://www.artandsignfx.com/temp.html I programmed the "Portfolio Section". Bring up the task manager and watch the performance graph. You can watch it start to bogg down after a while of clicking around the portfolio section. Its loading xmls (one for the Side Menu) and the other for the thumbnails and theire respective data. There are quite a few createMovieClips and AttachMovieClips and some setIntervals - which I do clear when I'm done. When I create a tween object I try to kill it when I'm done using it with "delete myObject;" - not sure if that even works. Can anyone offer any advice or point me in the direction of a really good article regarding this subject?. -- Carl Welch http://www.carlwelch.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 805.403.4819 ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

[Flashcoders] Scroll bar math question
Hello All,
I have a movieclip that I attach a varying number of other movieclip that
are stacked vertically. I am trying to figure out some math that accounts
for the varying height of the scrolled movieclip. I am having a problem with
the math though. I am using something that looks like: buttonMask._y =
60+(-(this._y)/ratio);
the "ratio" variable comes from the movieclip with the stacked (attached)
movieclips DIVIDED by the height of my scroll bar. But it doesn't seem to
work well. The scroller moves my movieclip too high. I don't even know how
to make this sound with out sounding like an idiot
Here's my code:
//buttonMask is the movieclip that gets the other movieclips loaded into.
//line is part of my scrollbar & dragger is my little scroll knob that gets
dragged
dragger.onPress = function() {
startDrag("dragger", true, line._x, 30, line._x, line._height+30);
ratio = (buttonMask._height/line._height);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
buttonMask._y = 60+(-(this._y)/ratio); /http://www.carlwelch.com

[Flashcoders] problems with dataGrid.selectedIndex
Oi!
I have built a mp3 player using xml to give me all of my links to
files, data, etc...
The data loads into a datgrid.
One of the requirements I needed to meet was to be able use a url
query-string to directly link to a mp3 to play on load: exampe:
http://mysite/audio.php?titleid=10&trackid=71
This works fine. But I also need to hilite the correct row in the
datagrid when I use the query-string when the swf loads. Here's what
I'm using:
songList_lb.selectedIndex = myTrack_Pos;
songList_lb.dispatchEvent({type:"change", target:songList_lb});
It seems like selectedIndex will only work if the user has already
clicked on the datagrid. But I want a row to be selected when the swf
loads before the user has had a chance to select anything...
I hope I am making sense. Thanks.

[Flashcoders] Re: Url query-string in Actionscript 3 (Flash 9 Public Alpha)
nevermind, solved it (or atleast came up with something that works):
I found this:
http://desdev.blogspot.com/2005/10/getting-querystring-params-to-flash_07.html
and is AS3 I used this:
try {
var keyStr:String;
var valueStr:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (keyStr in paramObj) {
valueStr = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
if (keyStr =="process"){
trackName.text = valueStr;
myVar.text = keyStr;
}
if (keyStr =="mySong"){
mySong.text = valueStr;
//myVar.text = keyStr;
}
if (keyStr =="myTable"){
myTable.text = valueStr;
//myVar.text = keyStr;
}
}
} catch (error:Error) {
// tf.appendText(error);
}
Thanks.

Re: [Flashcoders] FileReference and mac file types
Thanks guys. First I tried setting the mac file types to tink's list
(ie: macType:"MPG3;MP3_;Mp3_;MPEG"). Didn't work. Then I read Josh's
page and he suggested not putting any mactype... It worked. Sweet.
Thanks again.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash File Upload using .NET
I've found that when uploading using FileReference, my files end up being read only by the owner (chmod 600). Which in turn doesn't allow the file to be read back into my swf Does anyone know of a way to make it chmod to 644? I 've tried to make php set it to the proper chmod but to no avail.

Carl,
Everything in AS3 is classes, so you can't do anything without using
classes.
It's actually easier than attachmovie. Just make a
var newMC=new MovieClip();
this.addChild(newMC);
feels alot cleaner that
attachmovie("gf","gf"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(),_root.getNextHighestDepth(
));
doesn't it ;).
good luck!

[Flashcoders] pass variables between classes in AS3
I have an AS3 document class where I load and parse an xml file into an array. I would like to pass that array to a movieclip(?) class - basically its a button that will create new movieclips that will differ based on my xml array. How in the world do I get the array from the document class to other classes... arggg! as3 is blowing my mind. I've googled but I can't find anything that make sense to my as2 brain.
