Re: [Flashcoders] Firefox popup blocker and flash 9

2008-05-29 Thread Dan Wade
Turning on popup blocker shouldn't block user initiated clicks that call a
js function to open a new window. Or, popup blocker should allow for a
simple getURL("url", "_blank"). I'm finding these calls are being blocked
some cases in Firefox on PC's with flash player 9.

[Flashcoders] Firefox popup blocker and flash 9

2008-05-28 Thread Dan Wade
I'm having problems with Fireox blocking my popup windows. I've tried
everything I can think of. It seems to happen on Windows running Firefox but
I can't replicate the issue on all machines I've tested(it works on most
machines but not all).

Here is the class I'm using:

package {

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

public class URLUtil{

protected static const WINDOW_OPEN_FUNCTION : String =
"window.open";

public static function openWindow(url : String, window : String =
"_blank", features : String = "") : void {
ExternalInterface.call(WINDOW_OPEN_FUNCTION, url, window,
features);
}

}

}


//being called this way
function recholder1Release(event:MouseEvent) {
URLUtil.openWindow(res1link);
}


Any ideas?

TIA,

-D

[Flashcoders] Flipping Effect...

2007-07-11 Thread Dan Wade
Hello,

Looking to create this effect: http://www.element79.com
I've been using AnimationPackage to do programmatic flips and scales
But sadly I can't get the smooth effect you get using the timeline.
Anybody know of any animation tutorials on this. I'm tempted to do it in
After Effects and import into flash.

TIA,

After my xml is generated I have a node:

I have a htmlEnabled text field which I populate with the above node, but I
can't get the testing() function to fire using asfunction.
Is the syntax correct here or am I missing something?

Hello,

Does anybody have experience with generating barcodes. From what I've read
it's as easy as embedding a barcode font and voila. But I can't match up to
the example I have from the client.

Any help or direction appreciated.

Thanks for reply.
You got me thinking
I changed the 2 lines you mentioned


connection_nc.connect("rtmp:PATH TO MY HOST"); //path to video hosting
stream_ns.play("VIDEO NAME"); //actual video name (without .flv)

Thanks!

I'm trying to build a simple vid player using the Video Object. I'm using a
streaming flv from RTMP server. If I use one of the flash 7/8 vid components
the flv plays fine but if I use:

var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
vid.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play("rtmp://path to my .flv");

[Flashcoders] Flvplayback and cuepoints.

2006-03-01 Thread Dan Wade
Hello,

I have 2 .avi files which I encoded to .flv using flash 8.  Now, all I want
to do is fire an function when each video completes. Sounds easy enough. So
I figure I'll use the "complete" event that gets fired from the flv
component. This only works on 1 of the .flv's. The other one refuses to fire
this off so I figure I'll use a cuePoint on this one.

So I'm using this code:

var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace("Cue point name: " + eventObject.info.name);
}
vid1PlayBack_cmp.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);

I first created the cuepoint event inside the movie when I was encoding --
did not work. Then I tried using the component parameter window and setting
up the cuepoint there. Didn't work.

What am I doing wrong

Is there another workaround that I could do. I simply want to start up the
main timeline again when the video ends.

Tia,

-Dan

[Flashcoders] FLVPlayback complete event not firing.

2006-01-18 Thread Dan Wade
Hello,

I'm using the flvPlayback component. Then adding listener:

vidPlayBack_cmp.complete = function( evt:Object ):Void {
this._visible = false;
}
vidPlayBack_cmp.addEventListener("complete");


Simple enough. But the event never fires. Any ideas/experience with this?
I'm thinking the actual .flv file has something that flash does not like.

[Flashcoders] Attaching combobox inside of class

2005-11-23 Thread Dan Wade
I get a combobox that looks like a blank textfield using function below:

var pageToggler_cb = target.createClassObject(mx.controls.ComboBox,
"pageSelector", target.getNextHighestDepth());
pageToggler_cb.dataProvider = ["hello", "there", "sailor"];

}

It seems like the component is currupted but if I do a simple test in
another .fla:
var combo_cb = this.createClassObject(mx.controls.ComboBox, "combo", 1);
combo_cb.dataProvider = ["hello", "there"];

It works?

Any ideas?
