Re: [Flashcoders] DoubleClick Studio

[David Hunter]

Think I have used them before. The docs should explain things well. You
probably just need to download some components and then add them to the
beginning of your banner.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR

[David Hunter]

I'm still using it, and always get good feedback from clients. I'd
recommend it, although I hadn't considered whether adobe might stop
supporting it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Adobe Flash future

[David Hunter]

I think the fact that this list is pretty inactive says it all.

I'm freelancing at an agency right now who I make AIR apps for. I used to
make a lot of them for a few years, but recently I think they are looking
more and more at html5/js solutions. A few years ago I used to make Flash
websites for them, but never any more; then I made AIR apps, and now that
seems on the slide... it's a shame for all the reasons we already know.

The only other work I get with Flash is the occasional banner ad!

I'm sure there are still some niche areas for Flash, but largely it feels
dead from where I sit.

Re: [Flashcoders] Long running tablet apps

[David Hunter]

h, how long are you talking it being used for?

I have made apps for samsung galaxy tabs that have run all day and don't
seem to have had too many problems (well not ones they've told me about!)
and I think sometimes they were left on for days and still worked.

But we do include functionality so the user can quit the app within the app
if necessary.

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript lives on.

[David Hunter]

I have made loads of AIR apps for tablets and display stands. They are not
for public download, they are all for marketing events that guests at an
event use or trained staff use. I use Flash CS5.5 and we normally use
Samsung tablets as compiling to Android is so much quicker and easier than
to iOS, and it is easy to pull data off the device. The company I work for
on those apps is really happy with the speed and flexibility. I would love
to work on an app that was actually available in a store to download by the
public.

Having said that If I am also looking at web apps and experimenting with
jQuery Mobile and CSS media queries, and I try to avoid flash when making
websites.

I agree with others about Actionscript 3 being a fantastic language that
should have a continued life. And Adobe need to get some new marketing
people— they have handled all of this so badly!

Best,

David

Re: [Flashcoders] Loader Mouse Event

[David Hunter]

There must be something else going wrong with your code.

This works fine for me, you can paste it straight into a new project
and test it:

import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var url:String = "http://www.gogo-tennis.com/images/Tennis%20Balls_small.jpg";;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOverListener);
ldr.load(req);
addChild(ldr);

function rollOverListener(e:MouseEvent):void
{
//
trace("hit!");
}

maybe this might shed some light: http://www.matto1990.com/jquery/catfish/

presumably the close functionality is some kind of ExternalInterface.call();

Thanks Karl,

I can grab the time using the Date class in AS3, I'm more stuck on how to
detect what city they have set in their system preferences or some other
way to detect what city they are in.

IP address?

Thanks,

[Flashcoders] Get Timezone City?

[David Hunter]

Hi All,

I'm making a screensaver / air app of a clock and one of the desired
features is to grab the city of the timezone that the computer is set to.
For example my clock is set to GMT and London, but I could set it to
Eastern Daylight Time and the city to New York or Miami.

Does anyone know if it is possible to grab the city selected associated
with the time of the computer? (I'm on a mac, not sure if the setup is the
same on a PC...)

Thanks,

David

Could you put what you need in some javascript and grab it using

H it works in test mode but when I run it properly from a hot corner it
says I need to update it.

Nice one! got it working. Not sure if that will be acceptable to the client
but the upshot is that I can make a wicked screensaver for myself in Flash.

Thanks Karl,

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[David Hunter]

Unfortunately that Screensaver For Mac doesn't seem to work for me. Their
demo files don't even work. I'm on OS X 10.6.8 .

Can someone on another system (or even the same) test it to see if it
works? Only need to download and double-click the .saver file to test.

Big thanks in advance,

David

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[David Hunter]

Hmmm changing it to .saver isn't working, it comes up grey in System
Preferences and when you select it drops a message box "You cannot use the
Flash Player screen saver on this computer". I'm on OS X version 10.6.8 .
Similar message if I try just an swf not a projector.

It's in the same folder as the ones I made in Quartz Composer, and they
work fine.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[David Hunter]

That doesn't seem to work on my mac. System Preferences > Desktop & Screen
Saver not picking up my renamed projector file. Is it Windows only?

Thanks Henrik.

Thanks for the pointers on AIR and feedback on Screentime. I'll look into
all that further.

Cheers,

[Flashcoders] AIR Screensaver?

[David Hunter]

Hi All,

Anyone have any advice on making screensavers from Flash? I have seen some
decent looking software
http://www.screentime.com/software/flash-screensaverto convert an swf
into a screensaver but it is quite pricey, I didn't have
any luck with a mac open source alternatives, so I was wondering if it was
possible with AIR? I would need it to function fully as a screensaver eg.
be activated by user idle timeouts / hot corners etc...

Thanks,

David

Re: [Flashcoders] MVC style Correction

[David Hunter]

Hi all,

Really pleased that my original question has generated so much positive
discussion, debate and learning on MVC. For me it has certainly shed some
light on different ways to implement it and probably some improvements or
different approaches I could take in the future.

Currently I connect them all together exactly as Ross has his set up in his
first example. Although I may experiment with some slightly different
approaches or try out a framework.

Regards,

David

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Platform roadmap released - time to start learning HTML 5 unless you make games.

[David Hunter]

I have pretty much given up on Flash for websites or web applications.

I have two kinds of clients: small clients who want a portfolio website or
something similar scale, and then the agency clients where my work is all
marketing work. Marketing people are o b s e s s e d with iphones / ipads
and facebook so if it doesn't play nicely with them then forget it. I used
to make Flash websites or Flash elements on websites for marketing agencies
but since about two years ago I have not done anything web-based for them,
it is all AIR apps for desktop and tablets. I actually prefer making AIR
apps than websites.

Reluctantly accepting the need to move on I am learning JS (which feels
like going back to AS2) and brushing up on my HTML & CSS, I'm also learning
ModX framework for building content managed sites. I'm pretty sold on ModX.
Small clients always wanted a CMS but could never cough up enough for a
bespoke system and I never found one that worked with Flash so had to use
XML files, which most clients found difficult to manage themselves. So
getting a backend framework has been a positive from this; and making AIR
apps which I wanted to do before AIR ever existed and I made projector
files. But otherwise I am disappointed the way it is unravelling for Flash.
I'm sure Adobe could have handled the media better on this.

I was at an Adobe HTML 5 conference last year and they definitely see HMTL
5 for all web stuff, and Flash for apps and gaming. That roadmap seems to
suggest it is very game heavy. I don't really play computer games and I
haven't made one either so not sure how I feel about that.

For what its worth I really like AS3 and I hope it stays,  if Flash dies on
the web though then there is no hope of JS getting an upgrade to be like
AS3 as there will be no competition, no incentive.

I'm off to do some banner ads... (seriously!)

[Flashcoders] MVC style

[David Hunter]

Hello list,

If I am making an application with MVC pattern and calculations are needed
to be performed on the data when the user interacts with the application,
would you:

do the calculations in the Model?

create a separate class that handles the calculations and puts the results
in the model?

do the calculations in the Controller?

looking forward to hearing people's thoughts on this,

david

Re: [Flashcoders] re: Natavi's example photo gallery

[David Hunter]

I built a site with an interface just like that a few years ago. Wasn't too
difficult from memory although it was an achievement to complete. You just
load a grid of thumbs into a container, enlarge and reposition the
container til the enlarged thumb fills the screen height, and load the
hi-res version of the thumb in the correct position and size.

hope that helps,

david

Re: [Flashcoders] DisplayObject -> SVG lib?

[David Hunter]

I did something similar before, but we just had parameters passing into a
python backend that recreated all the graphics.

I googled "as3 save svg" but no idea if the below works. As the guy says
you'd still need to send it to something like php to save it on server if
your project is web-based:
http://memo.tv/node/745

hope that helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] PlayBook

[David Hunter]

Due to impending deadline (started project on Tuesday and need it delivered 
Friday lunch!) I'm going with the 5.5 trial. But I think I will be able to get 
it working with 5 eventually. I've messaged the guy who put the post up about 
getting AIR2.7 into CS5 and he has made alterations which I have yet to 
implement. Hopefully those changes will allow me to target Android from CS5.

Re: [Flashcoders] PlayBook

Thanks John, I'll check that out. I have files publishing directly onto the
Galaxy Tab directly from Flash 5.5(trial) pretty seamlessly.

However I can't seem to get applicationStorageDirectory to work in AIR
anymore. I've used it before for application settings xml files with not too
much problem. If I include a txt or jpeg file in the included files option
it includes them in the app ok but when I try to find them:

var myFile:File =
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("localstorage/test.jpeg");
if(myFile.exists) {
...do something.
}

 when running the application it returns false.

am I being stupid? any ideas?

Cheers,

David

thanks Beatrix. I have just got the device listed. For future reference you

Hopefully now I will be able to load an application onto it!

Re: [Flashcoders] PlayBook

[David Hunter]

it says in the video this should not be an issue for Macs. It also said this
on forum post ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/3564584#3564584 ) that USB
drivers shouldn't be a problem.

Ha! Not too many. I took my iPhone to stay in touch with family and friend's

was away and I arranged someone else to make any updates to any sites. I 
checked work email about once per week to make sure nothing too major had gone

Next time I would consider taking my laptop and working on the road. But this

Re: [Flashcoders] PlayBook

[David Hunter]

Sounds interesting. I tried to replace the AIK2.0 in CS5 with the new AIR2.7
SDK but the app wouldn't compile and the adl wouldn't launch properly. I
used this as a guide: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90810.html . I will
give it another go though. Any tips on replacing the SDK greatly
appreciated.

Thanks Kevin.

Re: [Flashcoders] PlayBook

[David Hunter]

Thanks for the links Beatrix, I will check them out. But right now I need
help with compiling for Android!

(I'm talking with someone from Adobe now, and they don't sound keen to give
me a free upgrade to 5.5)

And yes Kevin, 4 months away from the computer was bliss!

Re: [Flashcoders] PlayBook

[David Hunter]

is there no way of doing it with Flash Professional CS5 or Flashbuilder 4.0
? I am on a mac so Flash Develop is not really an option.

I find it mind boggling that adobe would give away the Android extension for
free and then remove it and make you pay for it. I only got CS5 six months
ago.

Re: [Flashcoders] PlayBook

[David Hunter]

Thanks Jason,

Guessed that would be the case.

I was badly briefed and the app is an AIR for Android app to run on a
Samsung Galaxy TAB. Do I need to get CS5.5 to compile for Android? I have
CS5 but there is no mention of an Android packager only the iPhone packager.
I'm sure I was shown that you could compile Android apps from Flash CS5.

I saw online there was an Android extension by adobe but they have taken it
down since the release of CS5.5.

Thanks all,

[Flashcoders] PlayBook

[David Hunter]

Hi All,

Hope you are all well. I have just returned to work after a 4 month break
seeing a little of the other side of the world. I have been asked to make a
Blackberry Playbook app with AIR (it just got released in the UK) and hoping
for any pointers anyone has- particularly if I NEED to get FlashBuilder 4.5
or if I can use FlashBuilder 4 / Flash CS5 (which I already have)? If you
have a CS5 suite do you get a free upgrade to CS5.5?

Cheers,

RE: [Flashcoders] error 2101 urlvariables decode

[David Hunter]

Thanks for the links Karl, my server is running PHP 5.2.16 and their server is 
running PHP 5.2.5 . So I'll be giving their hosting company call to see what 
the problem could be.
Thanks for all your help. Much appreciated.

RE: [Flashcoders] error 2101 urlvariables decode

[David Hunter]

Thanks Karl, I have downloaded your file and will have a look at it. Having 
tried two other form examples I found online with still the same Error #2101 
results, I moved the PHP to my server and it works fine. So Karl, you may be 
right that it is something to do with the PHP version or a glitch with the 
server. Very confusing.

RE: [Flashcoders] error 2101 urlvariables decode

[David Hunter]

Thanks Karl, can't seem to download the file, it just opens a String of 
gobbeldy-gook in a new browser window. Can you put the php file inside a zipped 
folder and lose the ".php.zip" so its only ".zip" in the url? I will look into 
the headers, thanks for that tip.

RE: [Flashcoders] error 2101 urlvariables decode

[David Hunter]

Thanks for the response Karl. the php version is 5.2.5 and I don't think it 
changed recently. It seems lots of people are reporting this problem with 
CS4/CS5 and FP10. none of the solutions on google seem to be helping. I have 
tried encoding the URLLoader.data as variables and as text, on the php side i 
have tried echoing "sentOk=" .sentOk, "&sentOk=", "?sentOk=", "sentOk=true", 
"success". Either an #2101 error is pulled when using variables, when using 
text no error occurs but the php doesn't send the email. Has anyone run into 
this problem? Or has an example of sending and returning vars with a php script 
that they know works in CS5 with AS3 for comparison. This is doing my head 
in!!! 
Thanks in advance

[Flashcoders] error 2101 urlvariables decode

[David Hunter]

Happy New Year everyone! 
Recently updated a site that has a registration form which is now throwing an 
error. I didn't change anything to do with the form. It now throws an error 
#2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query 
string containing name/value pairs. 
I've looked on google and there seems to be some conflict whether it is a 
problem with the flash side or PHP side. I know that this has only occurred 
since updating another section of the site. I am now using CS5 but I was 
previously on CS3. I have tried changing my URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES to 
TEXT and it throws a different error #1069: Property sentOk not found on String 
and there is no default value. (sentOk is the name of the variable I echo back 
from the php to know that an email has been sent). 
A snippet of the flash code is here: http://pastebin.com/pTzZKkMS The PHP code 
that handles the signup is here: http://pastebin.com/FzbMdB7e 
The site has been running fine for over a year with pretty much the same 
actionscript code, the PHP side hasn't changed in years, this error only crept 
in 3 days ago. It doesn't just throw an error but also fails to send an email 
from the php side.
Any and all help greatly appreciated, 
David

RE: [Flashcoders] CS5 where to put tween engines etc?

[David Hunter]

thanks for all your prompt advice. i'm ok with keeping my own classes and 
packages local to the project. but i don't want to clog up my drive 
unnecessarily with the same tween engine over and over. i have tried putting a 
folder Flash_Packages in my Documents folder and linking to it in the 
Actionscript 3.0 preferences, like your video but code hinting isn't 
recognising "import org" what could be wrong?

[Flashcoders] CS5 where to put tween engines etc?

[David Hunter]

Hi all, just upgraded from CS3 to CS5. Where do I put external classes and 
libraries like TweenLite? In CS3 they were in: Adobe Flash CS3 > Configuration 
> Actionscript 3.0 > Classes > ... but that path doesn't exist in CS5. Anyone 
upgraded and can help? Cheers.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash On The Beach 2010

[David Hunter]

Thanks Glen. I come from a design background but now spend a lot of my time 
coding. So I think I will go for a mix, coding/technical stuff to advance my 
knowledge and more arty stuff to inspire me a bit. 
Looking forward to it.

Thanks for the link. I also found this:

 which doesn't suggest you can update from CS3 only CS4. I have followed the 
steps for CS4 and it still doesn't compile the new classes.

Hi All,  Probably a silly question that I hope will be easy to ask: How do you 
upgrade to AIR 2 with Flash CS3? I have downloaded the AIR 2 zip from the adobe 
site, unzipped it and replaced the folders and files in my AIK folder of the

PrintUIOptions. I've tried re-opening Flash and it still doesn't work.  What am

RE: [Flashcoders] Facebook API GetPhotos not working

[David Hunter]

Thanks for the suggestion Steven. I've spent a week trying to work with 
Facebook and the best I have managed is an AIR app using the 
actionscript-facebook api with AIR CONNECT. I can successfully log in and allow 
extended permissions and upload a picture from a webcam. I'm reasonably happy 
with that. Although I can't seem to grant regular permissions to access a 
user's photos. Do you know how this is done? I have had a quick go with Graph 
API (just making URLLoader calls and ignoring the actionscript api) and I can 
get an access token but I'm getting errors trying to grant access to 
user_photos as I'm not passing a redirect_uri as a parameter. But as its an AIR 
app I don't want/need a redirect so what should I be doing? Do I need to switch 
this back to a web based app rather than desktop app to use this method? In 
which case logging in might become an issue again! Thanks for your help,  David

RE: [Flashcoders] Facebook API GetPhotos not working

Juan, thanks for the thorough response, and I fully agree that they seem to 
have changed things a lot and this has really annoyed developers. I'm pretty 
fed up already after 1 day of going in circles. I looked through bug 146 before 
but i am going back over it again. It seems I need to extend my permissions and 
add < user_photos > but after reading through 6 pages of docs on this I'm still 
pretty confused! Even in the docs they are mentioning the "migrations" tab and 
enabling "New Data Permissions" but this option does not exist! I'll re-post if 
I get anywhere or run into new difficulties, or just give up! Thanks

[Flashcoders] Facebook API GetPhotos not working

[David Hunter]

Hi List, . Anyone have any experience with the Facebook API? I have been on it 
all day and got a simple application (based on the tutorial on adobe's site) to 
work which fetches the users information such as name and mini-photo, and other 
calls like listing their friends. But when it comes to getting their photos, 
GetPhotos() it always returns an array of zero length. Does anyone have any 
knowledge on this? . I have seen lots of complaints about this issue on the 
forums, but much of the advice suggests changing parameters that don't exist in 
the application settings anymore. I'm not sure if the problem is a permissions 
thing set in the app, a permissions thing set by the user (i have made my 
photos completely public and still no change), if i am lacking a session key, 
or something else. I imagine/hope its something simple. I've tried running as a 
desktop app and on an external webpage but it still won't return any photos. 
I'm using Flash CS5 and the latest version of the Facebook library (v3.4). 
Unfortunately most of the examples are in Flex, which I don't have, and I 
haven't found a tutorial or snippet for straight Actionscript that uses 
GetPhotos() .. I've been tearing my hair out all evening and not got very far. 
Any help is greatly appreciated. . Thanks,David

RE: [Flashcoders] Create your own t-shirt

[David Hunter]

I second that approach. I made a label maker that plugged into a python backend 
and then on to their printer workflow. I only sent string data of the text they 
entered, plus font choice, color, position, and what background imagery they 
chose. If you could 'free draw' your own illustration then I guess we would 
have sent that as an array, but maybe there is a better way to send it, I'm not 
sure. The python turned the data into an SVG format for printing.  Hope that 
helps.

[David Hunter]

i think the regular expression is to strip out unwanted characters like 
punctuation. comparing strings would be done by another process.

[David Hunter]

String.replace() then a regular expression like /[,\.!\?:;\\\/]/g and replace 
it with nothing: "". You'll probably want to check which characters to remove 
but remember to use an escape slash for certain characters. Haven't tried it 
but there are some examples and lots of help in the docs and more online. not 
that knowledgeable on regular expressions to be honest.

RE: [Flashcoders] How to handle String the best way

[David Hunter]

Not entirely sure if i understand what you want to do, but you could use a 
regular expression to strip out any punctuation or unwanted characters. 
String.split() breaks a string into an array of strings by using a specified 
delimiter which could be a " " space in this situation, so each word is an 
element in an array. 
Apply this process to both your strings and you end up with two arrays which 
should be easy to compare words and cycle through all the elements.  Hope that 
helps, but I've probably misunderstood what you want to do! David

RE: [Flashcoders] AIR flv encoder

[David Hunter]

I have red5 up a running both on a server and installed locally- great product. 
 I have the demo SimpleRecorder working and have had a look through the code 
(which is in AS2, so I' rewriting it in AS3) but despite tinkering with the 
settings the video is choppy with erratic framerate that hangs badly and the 
audio lags. I have tried different settings[[ from cam.setQuality(0,100) 
through to cam.setQuality(32000,0) and various framerates from 12-25, and 
buffer amounts up to 10secs ]], all with little affect on how smooth and 
regular the flv is when played back using an application eg. VLC. Any 
recommendations on settings? Can you adjust anything on the red5 side of things 
to improve the framerate consistency and tighten the audio?  Thanks, David

RE: [Flashcoders] OT: Adobe Air Marketplace

[David Hunter]

I put an item on and didn't have any problems. Except when I tried to cash in 
my free developers certificate they were offering- they couldn't give it to me 
as my trading name is the same as my real name (self-employed in the UK). So 
they suggested I change my business name (!!!) and therefore all my business 
cards and websites etc just to satisfy their form for a free one year 
certificate! Oh well.
For what its worth, Adobe should definitely be making more of that marketplace, 
especially considering the rise of Android. I'm sure they will, it could really 
take off with all the disaffected Flash people who got scuppered by Apple now 
having an outlet for their app ideas.

RE: [Flashcoders] How to rotate dynamic textfield

[David Hunter]

off the top of my head, i don't think you can rotate dynamic text with web 
fonts. i think you need to embed the fonts, otherwise the text does not render.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash - Django interaction

[David Hunter]

Hi there,I work with guys who build all their CMS using python and django and 
their preferred method is to send everything as JSON format. There is a JSON 
decoder in the AS3 core lib ( http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/ ) to help 
extract the data which I use. Its always me receiving data from them although 
we are looking at a project where I would send them data, but we haven't 
discussed the technicalities much.
Hope that is of some help,
David

Thanks Henrik you are a lifesaver. I thought those were only useable within a

[Flashcoders] fullscreen exe not working!

[David Hunter]

Hi all,
I have made a calculator application that must be deployed as a projector .app 
and .exe files. When the application launches it goes fullscreen using 
fscommand. The .app version has worked fine throughout development (i'm working 
on a mac using CS3 and it is programmed in AS3) but the .exe version for PC 
does not work in fullscreen mode. Only the background color shows, none of the 
rest of the application, but if you escape fullscreen it works fine. I don't 
have a PC so this is difficult for me to test!
Has anyone run into this problem before? It seems from google that many people 
have reported this problem but I have yet to discover a solution.
I am using these commands:fscommand("fullscreen", 
"true");fscommand("allowscale", "false");
Hope someone can help me!
Thanks,
David

[Flashcoders] NetStream.Pause.Notify

[David Hunter]

Hi All,
I'm making a video player with netstream and netconnection but 
"NetStream.Pause.Notify" is not being picked up in my NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS 
listener. It is picking up "NetStream.Buffer.Full" and "NetStream.Play.Start" 
is firing when the video loads, so I don't think its anything wrong with my 
code. Does anyone have any experience of problems with something similar?
I read on some forum posts that sometimes the NET_STATUS event can be very 
delayed when the code is a pause. I am playing back a locally stored 
progressive download flv.
Any solutions greatly appreciated,
David

not sure about audio. but here is a good but long introduction to some of the

your approach and listen to what frame the clip is on (myClip.currentFrame) and 
perform functions accordingly. As long as you know what frame you want to 
trigger a function, you can do all the programming on the timeline in one 
place. I have put an example on pastebin for you to try. MyClip is a 12 frame 
animated movieclip in the library. Here is the link: http://pastebin.org/153959
Hope it helps,
David

[David Hunter]

I 100% agree. If the content looks really appealing and comes with a 
recommendation then I think people will be happy to install it. But it is 
something to bare in mind when discussing options with a client.

RE: [Flashcoders] current consensus of available Flash 3D engines?

[David Hunter]

I actually went to a unity meetup and demo the other week to check it out. Very 
impressive, the quality is excellent and you can deliver across many platforms 
easily (browser, desktop app, wii, iPhone). The problem with the browser is 
less than 1% have the plugin installed compared to 98% for flash. I think you 
can use a few different languages in it, pretty sure that includes JavaScript. 
Check their website as there is plenty of info on there.

RE: [Flashcoders] @# $% New iPhone Develo per Agreement Bans t he Use of Adobe’s Fl ash-to-iPhone Compil er

[David Hunter]

Wow that is a depressing end to the week and a massive deflation for the launch 
of CS5 on Monday which I was really looking to upgrade to as I'm still on CS3. 
I got an iPhone a couple months ago on the basis that I might get to do some 
development for it. It will be interesting to see how the developer community 
reacts to this- from comments on a few different sites/blog posts it seems they 
are split down the middle. Some say this is outrageous money-grubbing (and a 
kick in the balls for Adobe), too draconian and will harm Apple; others say if 
you want to develop for the iPhone OS then you just need to learn the tools ie. 
objective-C. I make flash stuff on a MacBook Pro. Right now, I feel dirty...

RE: [Flashcoders] Transition from AS2 to AS3... with minimum pain

[David Hunter]

I found this a useful guide when I switched: 
http://senocular.com/flash/tutorials/as3withflashcs3/?page=1  I started messing 
around doing a few tests on everyday tasks like creating buttons, loading 
images etc and then just dove in on a paid project. You learn quicker on the 
job! Never looked back, although after a year or so I'm only just starting

RE: [Flashcoders] flv stop loading / close netconnection

[David Hunter]

Thanks Cor,
I've used that sort of call when stopping an flv from playing when closing a 
loaded swf. But in this case I need to be able to reconnect the flv again, I'm 
not disposing of the FLVPlayback. All I want to do is stop the progressive 
download but this seems difficult to do from an instance of FLVPlayback!

RE: [Flashcoders] flv stop loading / close netconnection

[David Hunter]

Thanks for responding Erik.
Unfortunately I can't use closeVideoPlayer() as it shuts the default player 
which isn't allowed. On a side note I can't find anything in the docs on adding 
new instances of VideoPlayer Class to an FLV even though there is plenty of 
talk of getting different VideoPlayer classes stacked inside an FLVPlayback 
instance (eg. myFLVPlayback.getVideoPlayer() or 
myFLVPlayback.visibleVideoPlayerIndex ) . Any ideas?
I have temporarily solved the problem with the nastiest workaround ever by 
passing "#" as the source. Seems to work for some reason but I'm sure it will 
come back and bite me. In the end I may have to make a new instance of 
FLVPlayback for each video and kill the old instance.
Thanks,
David
