Re: [Flashcoders] Flash and video optimisation ....

Yes. There is a way to On2 VP6 with FFmpeg.

I found this article when I needed to do automatic video encoding from a
drop folder.
http://sh0dan.blogspot.com/2006/09/command-line-flash-8-flv-encoding.html

Otherwise I use Sorenson Squeeze 4. It has the Sorenson Pro Codec which is
really nice if you need to publish to Flash 7+. It can only do On2 VP6
nicely too.

Does ffmpeg support VP6 flv encoding yet?
Last time I tried it (quite some time ago though) it only supported
Sorenson Spark H.263 flv encoding.

ON2 VP6 quality is superior to Sorenson Spark.

FFmpeg is free and it also will do it just as well as Flash. It's
just tricky to use and get running, more so if you're on a windows
platform. OSX setup is a breeze I found.

Re: [Flashcoders] >> webcam

is it possible to use to the web cam locally to capture a still??

Sure, but only local - means no one else can see you.

// get the camera
var cam = Camera.get( [opt. camName ] ) ;
// attach the camera on the vid display
videoPanel.attachCamera(cam) ;

thats it - nowe you have a working camera - but no way to show it to
others or record anything.
For that you would need FCS / FMS.

hope i could help.

Re: [Flashcoders] finding out which fonts are embedded in a swfatruntime?

why can't you use the size report that you can generate on publish??? it
shows all the fonts in-use in your movie.

For finding the fonts, I don't know; for finding the characters available
in
a font, here's one hack as an example:

function findAvailableCharacters(tFont:String):String {
var tField:TextField = _root.createTextField("tmpField",
_root.getNextHighestDepth(), -1, -1000, 1000, 1000)
var tFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat()
tFormat.font = tFont
tField.setTextFormat(tFormat)
var tRange:Array = [25,500] // or whatever range you want to use
var tWidth:Number = 0
var tChars:String = ""
for (var i = tRange[0]; itWidth) {
tChars += tChar
tWidth = tField.textWidth
}
}
tField.removeTextField()
return tChars
}

I don't think it's "bad" coding. Documentation generated from this
signature might be a bit clearer than documentation generated from a
signature where the argument was, e.g., "nameValue", since it would be
more immediately obvious that the argument "name" corresponds to the
property "name". That said, the code itself is clearer the other way.
Six of one and half a dozen of the other. (Programming is so often like
that.)

I prefer the the double underscore naming scheme to differentiate a
local/arugment variable from a class variable. It helps when you want to
create get/set functions and reminds you that it is a private variable and
should not accessed directly.

class Student
{
  private var __name:String;
  public function Student(name:String)
  {
 __name = name;
  }
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Scrubbing offline flvPlayback with code

2006-09-18 Thread Dennis Roche

flv it will only seek to the nearest keyframe. you will need to add more
keyframes when encoding the flv, don't allow the user to scrub through the
video, or choose an alternative video playback.

as this is a cd-rom i would actually use director not flash as it is the
better tool. that way you can use mpeg or quicktime for video playback and
embed flash assets.

Re: [Flashcoders] Mail + php huey

2006-03-22 Thread Dennis Roche
ok. have you tested the php without flash - in a browser with a form or
hardcoded values? writing a file... does the directory have write access?
is the variable defined? test if... wait i see a possible problem. scope
issue.

myVars.onLoad = function() {
   if (this.verify == "success") {
   email_txt.text = "Data Saved";
   } else {
   email_txt.text = "Failed Save";
   }
};

inside the onLoad function you can use this instead of myVars... not sure
its thats you problem could be just good pratice.
another thing you can do is check the if the variable verify is defined (
this.verify == undefined) . i think that could be the main issue. check you
php! remove the & as verify is your first variable and probably remove the
last as you don't need it unless you are declaring another variable.



give it a go. sometimes it takes another person
to look at your code. peer review is great.

Re: [Flashcoders] referencing movieclips in an array ..

2006-03-06 Thread Dennis Roche
try this.

var _menuArray:Array = new Array();
var _baseName:String = "mc_menu";

for (var i:Number = 0; i < 20; i++) {
   _menuArray.push( this.createEmptyMovieClip( _baseName+i,
this.getNextHighestDepth()) );
}

that will do it... but you may want to create an instance of a mc and not an
empty one. look up attachMovie()

also your code wouldn't work... why you ask?
- you have a function that creates your mc's that is not even called!
- if you actually did call you would only get mc as you are constantly
setting the new mc at the same depth

Re: [Flashcoders] Remove right click menu

2006-03-06 Thread Dennis Roche
why not try director? drop the flash movie inside director and then on
export disable the context menu option. there shouldn't be a huge
performance hit. you could also dynamically load the swf file into director
and simply use the dcr as a stub movie.
