[Flashcoders] control flv playback speed
Is there any way to let the user control the playback speed of a flv in Flash? And even better, is there any way to change the playback speed without changing the audio pitch (as can be done with Quicktime)? thx, Helen ___ 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
Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars.sendAndLoad failing don't know why
Are you testing from the IDE or live? You can't do a POST from the IDE.

The server script response means the params were good, false means
they were not. I cannot provide the URL for outside testing,
unfortunately.
Here is my code.
var sender = new LoadVars();
var receiver = new LoadVars();
sender.dkw = INP_DeviceID.text;
sender.p = INP_Phone.text;
receiver.onLoad = function(success)
{
if (success)

for (var a in this)

if (a != onLoad)
{
debug(response: + a);
}
}
}
else
{
debug(failed to connect);
}
};
// THIS GETS BACK A RESPONSE OF FALSE
sender.sendAndLoad(postURL, receiver, POST);
// THIS GETS BACK A RESPONSE OF TRUE (in the browser window)
getURL(postURL + ?dkw= + INP_DeviceID.text + p= + INP_Phone.text,
_blank, POST);
Same exact thing. Also, Firebug doesn't trace any arguments on the
HTTP request from the sendAndLoad().
I've been using sendAndLoad for years. This is a big WTF for me. Any
ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] Text Input Component
The component needs time to initialize. If you're coding on the main
timeline, you can replace the line that assigns the text with this:
this.con_mc.data_mc[kid_mc + i].onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.ifBD1.text != undefined) {
this.ifBD1.text = Test;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
}
If you're coding with classes, you can use something like
reference to kid_mc.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, setText);
instead and do the text assignment inside the setText method.

If you don't show what you are doing to set the text, we can't tell what's

Are you trying to assign to the textinput object itself rather than the

Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback Component on Limelight
Lori, I don't use Limelight and I'm not sure what issues you're having, but if they're running FCS, then these notes that I got from Muzak back when I was trying to get the flvplayback component working with FCS might be helpful: Another important thing to get the FLVPlayback component to work is to put a copy of main.asc in the app folder you're trying to connect to. You can find the main.asc file here (default Flash 8 install): C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\Samples and Tutorials\Samples\Components\FLVPlayback One last important thing is to set isLive to false on the FLVPlayback instance (it is by default). This one really threw me off, but thinking about it now it makes sense, as isLive probable means live streaming from a webcam rather than using streaming server such as FCS. This isn't clear in the docs though, at least it wasn't to me.

Re: [Flashcoders] how to know that thae video is finished?
Does ns.time trace something close to duration, just not exactly equal at the end? If so, just check for = duration - somesmallamount (maybe to do with the buffer size) instead of ==. Is this a progressive or streamed flv, btw? I dug up this old flashcomm post from Brandon Krakowsky in case it's any use: I noticed that as well. I've never had good luck with NetStream.Play.Stop. I think part of the problem is that some FLVs never get to the very end of the file - maybe .5 seconds before the end. The other part of the problem might be the encoder you're using. Flash 8 Encoder vs. Riva vs. Flix. I avoid the whole thing by monitoring the playhead inside of a setInterval or onEnterFrame, and comparing it to the totalTime. This way, I never have to worry about those objects not firing. Once again, I DO run into the problem where the playhead doesn't get all the way to the end, so tend to look for the playhead to be .5 seconds from the end, or more. Seems to do the trick everytime. Of course, if you can, make sure the videos have a little extra something at the end so they don't get cut off.

Re: [Flashcoders] Specifying contentPath for FLVPlayer
Hi Karina,
Thanks for the suggestions. I saw those different options and can't
even get the video to show up (let alone play or pause). I just don't
know what the right contentPath could be. This is my simplest test
case, with input textfield filepath, movieclip go, FLVPlayback component
flvplayer, and dynamic textfield msg:
go.onRelease = function() {
flvplayer.play(filepath.text);
msg.text = 'Trying to play ' + filepath.text + ' in ' + flvplayer;
}
No matter what I type into filepath, I can't get a video showing up in
flvplayer. But I could get it to play in MediaPlayback with
setMedia(rtmp:/LT/myfile.flv) (because the webserver and FCS are on
the same machine, so no absolute path to fcs necessary). I think it
must be some very simple thing, but I can't find the right contentPath
to make it work.

I'm not totally sure about masking, but in general, I think there are some bugs or conflicts with a movie clip drawn upon with the draw API and other elements of the movie. I'm not sure this is as related as you would like, but for example, I had an issue with one of those drawn-on movie clips which had another movie clip as a child, which had a textfield on it. It worked fine until the textfield was updated with new data - then the old text still showed, and the new text was also drawn over the top - so it looked like there were two overlapping textfields. If I separated the textfield from the clip being drawn on, it worked fine. I never could figure out the behavior, but I assumed it had to do with the clips and children of clips drawn on by the draw API and the way the player renders them/redraws them. In another case, portions of v2 components always displayed below clips which were drawn upon - the drawn on clips were always on top. Post again if you figure it out.

Re: [Flashcoders] delegating inside a tween class
ilteris,
You can't assign a function to the onMotionFinished property (in the
constructor) before the Tween instance has been created (in
openCanvas). Those should be more like:
public function Canvas(timeline:MovieClip, level:Number, y_:Number) {
mc = timeline.attachMovie(canvas, canvasS, level, {_x:158,
_y:y_, _width:0});
}
public function openCanvas() {
tween1 = new Tween(mc, _width,
mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, 0, 673, 3, true);
tween1.onMotionFinished = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,
mcMotionFinished);

[Flashcoders] media components with mp3
I'm trying to use v2 media components to make a player for an mp3 that has no background and is of a specified size and will respond to external events. I tried two things: a media playback component, and a media display plus associated media controller, but both have problems. There is a sample of these here: http://flash-creations.com/dev/mp3play.html The left side uses the media playback component. It works fine -- when you click the play button it starts playing and when you click the Pause button below (not part of the component), it pauses and displays the appropriate controls. But I *can't turn off the background and I can't fit it into the dotted line area*. The right side uses media display and media controller. It looks fine, but it doesn't work right. Clicking play makes it start playing and clicking the Pause button below makes it pause but it *doesn't change the controller's controls to match*, even though the display and controller have been associated with the associateController method. If anyone has an idea of how I can make the sample on the left fit into the area within the dotted line and have no background, or make the sample on the right behave correctly when an external Pause button is pressed (or any external event occurs), I'm all ears.

Re: [Flashcoders] Hole-in-a-mask (a reverse mask question)?
If you're using the drawing API to make the mask shape, you can make an inversion of it (to show everything but the mask shape) by giving the commands to draw the overall shape (ie, that covers the whole stage if that's what you want) and then the commands to draw the shape of the mask, in the reverse direction of the original drawing -- ie, draw the mask clockwise if the original shape was drawn counterclockwise--, and do both sets of commands between the beginFill and endFill.

Re: [Flashcoders] Cannot stop loaded movie
What Marc said, plus use onLoadInit instead of onLoadComplete. From the
help docs:
It's important to understand the difference between
MovieClipLoader.onLoadComplete and MovieClipLoader.onLoadInit. The
onLoadComplete event is called after the SWF, JPEG, GIF, or PNG file
loads, but before the application is initialized. At this point, it is
impossible to access the loaded movie clip's methods and properties, and
therefore you cannot call a function, move to a specific frame, and so
on. In most situations, it's better to use the onLoadInit event instead,
which is called after the content is loaded and fully initialized.

obj.onLoadComplete = function()

This code, placed in the actions panel of the root, works with the
exception of the onLoadComplete function. The mcClip is simply an
instance of a movie clip symbol (with no code) placed on the stage.
The loaded movie is just a collection of frames, with no actions
associated to it.
The really bizarre thing is that this works just fine if I run the
code from inside Flash: the movie loads and then it jumps to frame
10, where it stops.
If I run the SWF inside the standalone player (or inside a browser
plugin on Windows, but not on a Mac), the external movie loads but
keeps looping and there seems to be no way to stop it.
I cannot make sense of this. I've tried searching through the list,
but either this is so obviously wrong that nobody ever had the
problem, or I just don't know what to search for :)

MX 2004 -- I didn't check that). The one I've most often seen used is
mx.transitions.Tween, not the one in mx.effects that you imported. Here
is an example of your code (except I used 21 fps instead of 61 so I
wouldn't have to paste 60 lines of output) used with that class.
onMotionFinished does report when it's done, and there's also a
onMotionChanged that apparently reports once per frame. Here is the
frame-based code and output:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function myTweenFunc(){
var tw:Tween = new Tween(myMC,_x, Regular.easeInOut, -310, 20, 10,
false);
tw.FPS = 21;
tw.onMotionFinished=function(){
trace('finished moving lance');
}
// the time property appears to actually be frame count for
frame-based tweens
tw.onMotionChanged = function() {
trace('changed, time='+this.time+' prevPos='+this.prevPos);
}
}
myTweenFunc();
changed, time=1 prevPos=-310
changed, time=2 prevPos=-303.4
changed, time=3 prevPos=-283.6
changed, time=4 prevPos=-250.6
changed, time=5 prevPos=-204.4
changed, time=6 prevPos=-145
changed, time=7 prevPos=-85.6
changed, time=8 prevPos=-39.4
changed, time=9 prevPos=-6.38
changed, time=10 prevPos=13.4
finished moving lance
and this is the change to the tween line and output for a time-based
tween (tween dur=1 second, 20 fps movie)
var tw:Tween = new Tween(myMC,_x, Regular.easeInOut, -310, 20, 1,
true);
changed, time=0.055 prevPos=-310
changed, time=0.109 prevPos=-306.9145
changed, time=0.158 prevPos=-297.88138

Re: [Flashcoders] Using setMask to Mask a loaded swf
Make sure the swf is loaded before assigning the mask, eg:

};
loader.addListener(this);
loader.loadClip(movie.swf, holder_mc);

Because _x is not necessarily an integer, vValue1 is not guaranteed to be an integer either, which it must be for modulo to return the result you want.

Re: [Flashcoders] Move object along a curve
Eric,
Using the function for a parabola is the easiest way I can think of to
let you drag a clip in an arc (but it's not quite the same as the yepp
example -- you'd need to have the equation for that curve or figure out
how to do it with a bezier for that kind of motion). Here is some code
which will make a square and a parabola and drag the square along that
curve and change its scale and alpha according to where it is (paste
into empty movie to see):
// parabola equation for curve facing left: y**2 = -4ax
function parabola_x(a:Number, y:Number) {
return( 0 - (y * y / (4 * a)) );
}
this.createEmptyMovieClip(s, 2);
s.beginFill(0,100);
s.moveTo(-20,-20);
s.lineTo(20,-20);
s.lineTo(20,20);
s.lineTo(-20,20);
s.endFill();
// vary a to change the shape of the parabola
var a:Number = 50;
this.createEmptyMovieClip(curve, 1);
curve.lineStyle(2, 0x66, 100);
curve.moveTo(200+parabola_x(a, -100), -100);
for (var y=(-90); y100; y+=10) {
curve.lineTo(200+parabola_x(a, y), y);
}
curve._y += 200;
s._x = 200+parabola_x(a, 0);
s._y = 200;
s.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();
this.onMouseMove = function() {
this._x = 200 + parabola_x(a, 200-this._y);

Fuse 1.1 has simple (cubic) bezier functionality, and it's pretty
easy to use because you can pass relative positions for the control
points, much easier than absolute ones. Adding other tween props into
a bezier tween in no problem. (Check out fuse at my site

create one service object and one pendingCall object and then assign
different relayResponder objects to the pc.responder each time a new
operation is done? Or should a new pendingCall object be created for
each operation? (or a new service object altogether?) I tried a

be called. Code for the delete part:
// this is never called
function onDeleteScore(re:ResultEvent) {
trace('result='+re.result);
scores_dg.removeItemAt(deleteIndex);
msg_ta.text = Record was deleted;
}
function deleteRecord() {
// remember which element of the array is to be deleted
deleteIndex = scores_dg.selectedIndex;
// get the id of the record to delete, to pass it to deleterecord.php
var id:Number = scores_dg.selectedItem.record;

Re: [Flashcoders] DataGrid - Content
Put your contents into one array with object elements and use the
columnNames property to specify only the columns (ie, object properties)
you want to show. For example,
mydata = [{company:a, id:3}, {company:b, id:54}, etc];
mygrid.columnNames = [company];
There's a working example here:

Thanks all for your help on this.
What I can't get my head around and maybe that is why I cant get this

only?
I dont see the declaration that the information belongs to the DG.
Using Helen's sample
mydata = [{company:a, id:3}, {company:b, id:54}];
mygrid.columnNames = [company];
one more line (should've included for clarity before):
mygrid.dataProvider = mydata;
How does mygrid knows to get the column company from mydata when my

Re: [Flashcoders] universal toString() function
Here is a start for you, from Dave Yang:
http://quantumwave.com/flash/listObject.html. Somewhere he had a method
to show arrays formatted in a way similar to what you show too, but I
can't find that. This one works nicely though -- I tried a quickly
modified version to see:
var o:Object = {
x:5,
a:['abc', 'def', 'ghi'],
c:'a string',
d:{p1:17, p2:'something else', p3:{a:'here', b:'there'}, p4:[1, 2,
3, 4]}
};
function tabs() {
var t = ;
for (var i = 0; ilistObj.tabs; i++) {
t += \t;
}
return t;
}
function listObj(o) {
listObj.tabs++;
ASSetPropFlags(o, null, 6, true);
var t = ;
for (var p in o) {
if (p != __proto__) {
var v = o[p];
switch (typeof v) {
case function:
//if (_global[p] != null) t += (tabs()+p+()+\n) +
listObj(_global[p]);
//else t += (tabs()+p+()+\n);
break;
case object:
t += (tabs()+p+\n) + listObj(v);
break;
default:
t += (tabs()+p+: +v+\n);
}
if (listObj.tabs 1) t += \n;
}
}
t += \n;
listObj.tabs--;
return t;
}
listObj.tabs = -1;
trace(listObj(o));
I'll look forward to your nice modified version :)

Example of the desired functionality:

var s:String = universalToString(o);

Output: {a:1, b:2, c:{c1:['a','b','c'], c2:true}}
In my case the object will not contain any methods, just (deeply nested)
'vanilla' Objects, Arrays, Strings, Numbers and Booleans.

Re: [Flashcoders] setChangeHandler no longer works
I just tried it -- it works fine. Did you enter items in the label
field for the combobox, and did you name it cboIssueDates?
You can also do it without the listener object (essentially using the
current timeline as the listener):
function showSelection(evt:Object) {
trace ( You selected + evt.target.selectedItem.label);
}
cboIssueDates.addEventListener (change, showSelection);
More on the same idea for other components here:

The movie has been migrated from Flash MX to MX 2004.
The setChangeHandler used to show up in blue in MX, but does not do so
in MX 2004. This has presumably taken it's place:

cboIssueDatesLstnr.change = function(eventObj){
var eventSource = eventObj.target;
var theSelectedItem = eventSource.selectedItem;
var theSelectedItemLabel = theSelectedItem.label;
trace ( You selected +theSelectedItemLabel+.);

cboIssueDates.addEventListener (change, cboIssueDatesLstnr);
But this was lifted from MAcroMedia's Business Directory Sample, and
it doesn't work either. Heck, the trace() never displays.
This is what I had, and which worked, and still works, in Flash MX:
cboIssueDates.setChangeHandler( loadStory);
function loadStory(component)
{
GetStories( component.getSelectedItem().data );
BkIssPrntBtn( cboIssueDates.getSelectedItem().data,
_root.lOKtoPrint );
_root.dtDate = component.getSelectedItem().data ;
}
Three questions, two of which are rhetorical:
1. Why did MM break this?
2. Why do the examples on listeners, copiously published, not work? At
least this one doesn't?
3. Humbly, what do I have to do to fix this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Preloading locally
Yes, apparently :) Couldn't you test about the memory (I don't know the answer) by loading some big swfs sequentially into a movieclip and checking the memory usage to see if it goes up after each load or stays the same? Maybe someone else can give you a definitive answer. About preloading, I can't think that would make any sense to do since preloading = load from web server to hard drive (cache) only, not hard drive to memory.

Re: [Flashcoders] Circle, rotation to ?
Assuming your circle has a center registration point:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function rotation(dx:Number, dy:Number):Number {
return Math.atan2(dy, dx) * 180/Math.PI;
}
circle.onRelease = function() {
new Tween(this, _rotation, Strong.easeOut, this._rotation, rotation(_xmouse - this._x, _ymouse-this._y), 1, true);
};
I added it to the bottom of this page:
http://flash-creations.com/notes/asclass_math.php
The only thing is you're at the mercy of the Tween class to determine which way
the rotation will go, so you might need to modify it some.

Re: [Flashcoders] Recursive Tween only firing once

The subject sounds right, but I don't see a recursive call in your

This all works fine, I have 50 or so textfields on the stage, but instead of
each tween executing individually, the tweens for all textifields occur at
the end of the process.
My code looks like this:

var TempString:String = ArrayHolder[i];

{
// my_obj[QuoteIndexStr] = dynamically created variable, acts as the
holding movieclip
// Create Holder movieclip and recursive textfield objects
QuoteIndexStr = String(QuoteIndex);
my_obj[QuoteIndexStr] =
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(click_mc,_root.getNextHighestDepth());
my_obj[QuoteIndexStr]._visible = true;
var NewText:TextField = my_obj[QuoteIndex].createTextField(NewText,

NewText.autoSize = true;
// Position the TextField object randomly on the stage
var MaxX:Number = Stage.width - (my_obj[QuoteIndexStr]._width+50); //make
sure max poss random x is less than stage width
var MaxY:Number = Stage.height - (my_obj[QuoteIndexStr]._height+50);
var randomNumX:Number = Math.round(Math.floor(Math.random() * (MaxX - 0 +
1)) + 0);
var randomNumY:Number = Math.round(Math.floor(Math.random() * (MaxY - 0 +
