Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 Noise (Audio) Filter?

[Karim Beyrouti]

I have not seen anything that does that (how unhelpful was this !)… 

Having said that, this guy is a DSP specialist by the looks of it:

maybe if you got in contact with him ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Game physics programming needed.

[Karim Beyrouti]

I would also have a look at NAPE: https://github.com/deltaluca/nape . 
CDK can be quite slow in comparison to vector maths.

Re: [Flashcoders] Time adjusted / Framerate independent animation…

[Karim Beyrouti]

Ok - i needed variable speed per frame (so animation keeps in time with 
possible frame lag) . 
I guess where I get confused is: 

how would i structure this if I wanted the follower to for example follow the 
mouse (with an eased delay)?…

Here is the code for now ( which is currently not really adjusting for frame 
delay / variable speed )

private function enterFrame( event : Event ) : void {

// Update Time
dt  = 0.001 * (getTimer() - t0);
time+= dt;


//
// TIME CORRECTED   

var lSpeedPerSecond : Number = 30;
var lSpeedPerFrameVariable  : Number = lSpeedPerSecond * dt;
var targetX : Number = ( ( spc.x - 
stage.mouseX ) / lSpeedPerSecond );
spc.x -= targetX;

if ( 0 > spc.x|| ( spc.x + spc.width ) > stage.stageWidth ) spcDir = 
-spcDir;

t0 = getTimer();
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Time adjusted / Framerate independent animation…

[Karim Beyrouti]

Thank you! 

That make sense. Will integrate this into my code ( now looking at my camera 
class ) …  
This is quite important, as if there is any frame lag, physics and other 
objects go out of sync.

Yep - that is the one… all my game physics is independent of framerate (time 
based)… however, I am trying to get other non-physics based animated 
objects/code 
to work the same way (i.e. the camera), and I am finding it a little difficult. 

Will try your solution - although it looks like it's for the other option 
(variable framerate)….

Thank you for helping….

[Flashcoders] Time adjusted / Framerate independent animation…

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hello Flash coders, 

It's been a little quite here of late… So, hope it's good with with you all. … 
I have been trying to figure this out for a day or so, and wondering if you can 
help. I am trying to time correct my animation to be independent of framerate, 
which is a little easier when dealing with physics (scaling velocity / 
position) than non physics animation… In my app physics is time corrected, 
however I have some code that is not physics based an am trying to have that 
running independently of framerate (and not really succeding).

In the following demo: 
http://kurst.co.uk/transfer/timecorrection/TimeCorrection.swf

I have two rects ( green and red ). The green one is being time corrected, and 
I would expect it to follow the red one ( as there is no lag in framerate )… 
however as you can see - it's not 
really working. 

Using the following formula to correct it:

var spcTargetPosition : Point = new Point()
spcTargetPosition.x = ( spc.x + ( spc.x + 10 ) ) * speed * spcDir;
spcTargetPosition.y = spc.y;

dt  = 0.001 * (getTimer() - t0);
time+= dt;
t0  = getTimer();

spc.x = spc.x + ( dt * spcTargetPosition.x ); 


Here is the full code: 
http://kurst.co.uk/transfer/timecorrection/TimeCorrection.as
I would love it if you can point out where I am going wrong...

Re: [Flashcoders] Image grid with zoom effect

Or, if you really need to, you can do something like this: 

import flash.utils.setTimeout;
import flash.utils.clearTimeout;

var timeOutID : uint;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler, false, 0, true)

function resizeHandler( e : Event = null ) : void {

clearTimeout(  timeOutID ) ;
timeOutID = setTimeout( resizeIsComplete , 250 );

}

function resizeIsComplete() : void {
trace('resizeIsComplete');
}

Re: [Flashcoders] mx.logging package?

[Karim Beyrouti]

is the centre of transformation - so if you rotate the symbol, or transform it 
(using transform tool), it will happen around the the registration point (white 
circle). You can also move that point using the transform tool.

That's the 0,0 point for the assets in the MovieClip.

pretty sure i got it right….

Hello Flashcoders, 

Well - the adobe settings panel to allow access to my webcam is not responding

simple does not respond to keyboard or mouse events. Anyone seen this before / 
or know how to resolve this issue ?

[Flashcoders] FDT + Apk, adding extra files

[Karim Beyrouti]

Well - almost weekend... and have a hopefully quick question. Do any of you 
know how to include files (in this case images) with an APK... so I can get the 
app to load them ?...

Using FDT 4.5

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR + Google Maps = not working

[Karim Beyrouti]

Figured it out, in air you have to define a URL for the map component. i.e.: 
zoomMap.url= 'http://myWebsite.com'

Cheers

[Flashcoders] AIR + Google Maps = not working

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hello List - 

I am trying to get Google Maps working in an AIR app (for desktop). Currently I 
am not able to get the maps to initialise and work in an AIR  application. 

Has anyone managed to get the googleMaps as3 component to work inside an AIR 
application ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Incubator updates

[Karim Beyrouti]

Interestingly enough - I installed the latest drivers from NVidia on windows 
(bootcamp/2010 - 13" MBP), and Stage3D performance dropped to 2-3 FPS just like 
on OSX.  

Also, I think some games on OsX use vine/windows emulator - which is why they 
are slower. Not sure if Valve have native code or not for OsX, but - i also 
hope they bridge the gap with OsX a little more.

Re: [Flashcoders] Incubator updates

one observation here: 

Stage 3d / Molehill runs much much faster on a PC than a Mac. Recently loaded 
XP BootCamp, and some Away3D examples than ran at 2-3 FPS on OsX ran at 30 FPS 
in XP on the same PC, well all examples were an order of magnitude faster in XP

I know it's early days, but I do hope that this gets ironed out, and we are not

Re: [Flashcoders] RegExp Help

[Karim Beyrouti]

I seem to be having some mixed results with this one:

var tStr: String = '-path:c:\test path\temp -param spaced string -x'
var patt: RegExp = new RegExp( 
'(?<=[-{1,2}|/])(?P[a-zA-Z0-9]*)(?::|=)*(?P[\w|.|?|=|&|+| 
|:|/|\\]*)(?=[ |"]|$)' , 'g');
var result  : Object = patt.exec(tStr );

As it currently stands - it's not picking up P properly. it seems to be 
working in Grants RegExp tool. But am having issues picking up the groups in my 
code. 
This is my first attempt with RegExp, I guess it's not the easiest start. 
Maybe it would be better to write a parser for this one, but am curious to know 
if it can be done with AS3 RegExp.

Cheers

This is great - thanks for explaining, helps a lot.

the original expression I posted works this tool : http://gskinner.com/RegExr
I would love to know what magic Grant is using to get it working in his RegExp 
utility. 


Thank you Anthony.

[Flashcoders] RegExp Help

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hello lovely list...I am trying to run a RegExp pattern on a String, and am not 
too sure why it's not working, and am not too sure why.
Here is the code:

var tStr: String= '/a:"value" -big="this" -test:123 -test2=th_3'
var r   : RegExp= new RegExp( 
'(?:\s*)(?<=[-|/])(?\w*)[:|=]("((?.*?)(?[\w]*))');
var result  : Object= r.exec( str );

result returns null... Maybe you can shed some light on what i am doing wrong 
here?

[Flashcoders] OT: Adobe Air Marketplace

[Karim Beyrouti]

Sorry for the OT post - once again, i was just wondering what your experiences 
with the Adobe Air marketplace have been like: i have had another app for 
pending approval since 23 Jan (http://swfrenderer.kurst.co.uk/) - and it's 
still not approved. 

Adobe says it takes about 1-2 weeks days to approve apps - however there are 
loads of people complaining on forums. Anyone know what's the deal with the 
approval process these days and why it's still taking so long?

Re: [Flashcoders] Automatic quality toggle

[Karim Beyrouti]

I developed an AIR app to export SWF to PNG sequences: 
http://swfrenderer.kurst.co.uk

We developed it because flash was skipping frames and animation was not overly 
smooth on CPU intensive movies (be it code or timeline). We also had a few 
issues with the CS5 PNG/Movie exporter. It works with timeline animation and 
dynamic / coded animations (AS2/3) -  and works well as long as tweens use 
frames  instead of timecode.  (for tweenmax, it's the useFrame property for 
tweens).

Hope it helps someone...

[Flashcoders] Flash CS5 - Component Live Preview Disapearing

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hello live...

I am currently developing a component for Flash CS5 (AS3), I have stumbled on 
an issue where the live preview disappears leaving a blank space where the 
component should be. This only happens when the component is turned into a 
complied clip. 

It's there but not visible, which obviously would not be a good thing for the 
designers. 

Has anyone found any solutions for this issue ? 

Thanks

[Flashcoders] FaceBook, Posting Data & allowScriptAccess

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hello list, 

I am currently trying to debug a SWF on FaceBook which is not posting data to 
back to a php script. The php is on the same server as the SWF. I am 99% sure 
that facebook setting the allowScriptAccess='never' parameter when embedding 
with FBML is what's causing the flash not to submit the data to the script. 

I was wondering what techniques do you use to embed flash content in FaceBook, 
and how you'd get around this?

Thanks, for your time.

Re: [Flashcoders] problem with adding two digits

[Karim Beyrouti]

It's an issue with floating point accuracy/calculations, 

Here is some info:
http://joshblog.net/2007/01/30/flash-floating-point-number-errors/
saw more about it somewhere else... don't think it's an issue with the FP tho'.

Re: [Flashcoders] Testing display object if its MovieClip or BitMap?

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hopefully the line breaks here wont be too bad, pasting the code:



package {

import flash.utils.describeType;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;

/**
 * @author karim @ kurst.co.uk
 */
public class ClassUtils {

public static  function getSuperClass( obj : Object ):String {

var superClass  : String= 
describeType(obj)@base;
var isBase  : Boolean   =  ( superClass 
== '' )

if ( isBase )
return getClassName( obj );
else 
return replaceChar(superClass, '::', '.')


return '';
}

public static function getFullClassPath( obj : * ) : String {

var className : String = getQualifiedClassName( obj );

if ( className != null ){

if ( className.indexOf( '::' ) == -1 ){

return className;

} else {
return replaceChar(className, '::', '.')


}
} else {
return '';

}

}


public static function getClassName( obj : * ) : String {

var className : String = getQualifiedClassName( obj );

if ( className != null ){

if ( className.indexOf( '::' ) == -1 ){

return className;

} else {

return className.substr( 
className.indexOf( '::' ) + 2 , className.length )

}
} else {
return '';

}

}



public static function replaceChar( str : String, charToRemove 
: String , charToReplace : String) : String {

var temparray:Array = str.split(charToRemove);
return temparray.join(charToReplace);   

    }


}
}

attached a class that does that, hope it helps...

Re: [Flashcoders] Normalising Numbers

[Karim Beyrouti]

For some reason, it did not like, a full array of negative numbers (returned an 
inverse normalisation), so added a case for that... 
not sure it's the most elegant solution... here it is:

public function NormalizeArray() {
trace( normalizeNumbers( [ 1 , 1.5 , 2 ] ).toString() );
trace( normalizeNumbers( [ 1 , 1.5 , 5 , 1 , 6.4 , 6 , 3 , -2.6 , -1 , 
3.5 ] ).toString() );
trace( normalizeNumbers( [ -1 , -1.5 , -5] ).toString() ); //0,0.125,1
}


public function normalizeNumbers( list : Array ) : Array {

var min : Number= Math.min.apply( null , list );
var max : Number= Math.max.apply( null , list );
var len : int   = list.length;
var result  : Array = [];
var n   : Boolean   = ( min && max < 0 )

for (var i : int = 0; i < len; i++) {
result[i] = ( n ) ? 1 - rangedToNormal( list[i] , min , max ) : 
rangedToNormal( list[i] , min , max )

}

return result;

}

public function rangedToNormal( ranged : Number , min : Number , max : Number ) 
: Number {

var rangeSize : Number = max - min;
return (ranged - min) / rangeSize;

}

[Flashcoders] Normalising Numbers

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hello FlashCoder... 

maybe it's because it's late but it's getting a little confusing, and google is 
not being friendly right now. 
seems to works fine with positive numbers, however - i am trying to normalise a 
range of positive and negative numbers... ( code simplified not to find min and 
max values ). 

I am currently am coming up a little short... hope this code does not give 
anyone a headache; if you fancy a stab, or if you can point me in the right 
direction 
... otherwise ...  will post results when i get there...

Code:

public function test() {

trace('')
trace( testNormalizeNumbers( [  1 , 1.5 , 2 ] , 2 , 1 ).toString() );

trace('')
trace( testNormalizeNumbers( [  1 , 1.5 , 5 , 1 , 6.4 , 6, 3, -2.6, -1 
, 3.5 ] , 6.4 , -2.6 ).toString() );
trace('')
trace( testNormalizeNumbers( [  -1 , -1.5 , -5 , -1 , -6.4 , -6, -3, 
-2.6, -1 , -3.5 ] ,-1 , -6.4 ).toString() );

}

public function testNormalizeNumbers( a : Array , max : Number , min : Number ) 
: Array {

var result  : Array = new Array();  
var nMax: Number= ( min > 0 ) ? max - min : max + 
Math.abs( min );

for ( var c : int = 0 ; c < a.length ; c++ ){

var pRangedValue: Number = ( min > 0 ) ? a[c] - 
min : a[c] + Math.abs( min );
var normalizedValue : Number = pRangedValue / nMax;

result.push( normalizedValue );

}
    
return result;

}

Re: [Flashcoders] ARgb to Rgb

[Karim Beyrouti]

Having been playing with google...this one worked:

   public function ARGBtoRGB( value : uint ):uint {

var a : uint= value >> 24 & 0xFF ;
var r : uint= value >> 16 & 0xFF ;
var g  : uint   = value >> 8  & 0xFF ;
var b  : uint   = value   & 0xFF ;

return uint ( ( r << 16 ) | ( g << 8 ) | b )

}

will also try henrik's one liner... sorry for hurting your brain with that odd 
code ...

thanks again

Thanks Karl, 

had seen that one, but it slightly confused me, i go this out of it which is 
kindof wrong:

private function ARGBtoRGB( argb : uint ) : uint {
var alpha:uint = (argb >>> 24 & 0xFF );
return alpha % argb
}

Thanks again

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to Powerpoint

[Karim Beyrouti]

You might be better off looking for php/powerpoint libs - either that - or you 
might be 
able to write an exporter using bytearray in AS3. But just guessing on that one.

Good luck.

[Flashcoders] AIR 2 / 10.1 + Microphone

[Karim Beyrouti]

Wondering if the microphone - has a similar FFT output - like the one in 
'computeSpectrum(ByteArray, FFTMode, stretchFactor )' . 
or would it just be best to wait for - SampleDataEvent - get the byteArray and 
read the values from there?

Found this way of getting to the Mic sound data;

http://pierrickpluchon.fr/blog/as3-how-to-plug-your-microphone-with-a-soundspectrum-in-flash-player-10-1/

There is little in the way of explanation of the code - so i could easily be 
wrong - he seems to be using the Mic.SAMPLE_DATA event >> to trigger a Sound >> 
and then get the computeSpectrum from that... this feels like a little of a 
roundabout way of getting at the FFT data - or is that the best way of going 
about it ? 

Thanks for any thoughts on this one...

Re: [Flashcoders] PureMVC or RobotLegs ?

[Karim Beyrouti]

Thanks for the advise, guess that's a good reason to start with Pure MVC, then 
move onto RL. Do you use RL / MVC for all projects, or just in specific 
instances ?

Cheers

Re: [Flashcoders] PureMVC or RobotLegs ?

Ah - yes, the cool icon must learn robotlegs...

once you know an MVC framework - in theory i guess it more or less applies to 
another. Whatever the pros & cons of using a framework for one man projects - 
there seems to be some demand for it out there; turned down a job today as i 
was not familiar with RobotLegs + short deadline. Another PureMVC one last 
week so, it's time to learn..

I can see that using a framework probably makes it easier to deal with someone 
else's code (and pass projects about) - but does it make the job easier on 
smaller jobs? 

... anyway... I guess that's 1 vote for Robotlegs... PureMVC - anyone ?...

[Flashcoders] PureMVC or RoboLegs ?

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hi all, 

After having a few clients screaming for MVC capable developers - i am finally 
about to byte the bullet and learn an MVC framework.

So, which framework is more popular - PureMVC, or RoboLegs? I guess that once 
you learn one, the other makes sense - if so - which would you recommend ? 

Thanks !

Re: [Flashcoders] Link text indexes in a TextField

[Karim Beyrouti]

I have textfield link detection in this class - 


https://code.google.com/p/kurstcode/source/browse/trunk/libs/com/kurst/utils/TextFieldUtils.as

using it for link roll-over / roll-out events. And I think it could be extended 
to get the link's start/end position.
Have a look at the 'detectMouseOver' function - could be a good starting 
point...

Just a thought - try moving the variable declarations out of the loops:


http://www.rozengain.com/blog/2007/05/01/some-actionscript-30-optimizations/
http://osflash.org/as3_speed_optimizations

http://gamedevjuice.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/seven-tips-about-performance-optimization-in-actionscript-3/

Might help a little... do you have some test code lying about so we can compare 
/ optimise?

Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Adobe Air Marketplace

[Karim Beyrouti]

Thanks David, i moved this conversation to Air Tight list, and overall 
Marketplace feedback was quite positive ( well - there was not much feedback, 
but it was positive). 

I was just saying the same thing about a mobile 10.1 marketplace, which i think 
would be a good move forward. Also, my app got approved about 4 hours after my 
first email to the list: 

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/marketplace/index.cfm?event=marketplace.offering&marketplaceid=1&offeringid=18609

thanks

[Flashcoders] OT: Adobe Air Marketplace

[Karim Beyrouti]

Sorry for the OT post - however i was just wondering what your experiences with 
the Adobe Air marketplace have been like?

I have added an item on there about two weeks ago, and it's still not approved. 
The Adobe site says it takes about 2-3 working days to approve apps - but have 
read reports of apps taking about 2 months to get approved. Anyone know what's 
the deal with the approval process ?

Cheers

Re: [Flashcoders] FullScreen - not working

[Karim Beyrouti]

Fixed - forgot the a param in the SWFObject code:

swfobject.embedSWF("YZLoader.swf", "flashcontent", "100%", "100%", "10.0.0" , 
false, flashvars, params );   

Again - Thanks for taking the time to reply ...

Re: [Flashcoders] FullScreen - not working

[Karim Beyrouti]

Thanks for reply - already did this one
fullscreen function was moved to a MouseEvent - Click handler:

private function ClickFullScreenButton(event : MouseEvent) : void {

//dispatchEvent( new MenuEvent( MenuEvent.FULL_SCREEN , false ) 
)
stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle( 0 ,0 , 
Capabilities.screenResolutionX , Capabilities.screenResolutionY);

if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL) {

stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

} else { stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL; }

}

Pasted the wrong function before ( had just moved it )... still scratching my 
head on this one...

also ( another oddity ) - Chrome for OsX does not seem to change the mouse when 
hovering over a button - but well - i can live with 
that - if i get Fullscreen working...

Thanks again...

[Flashcoders] FullScreen - not working

[Karim Beyrouti]

Kinda feel silly with this question, I can't get fullscreen mode to work:

URL: http://clients.kurst.co.uk/ycommaz/12

HTML contains - allowFullScreen:'true' - 

and the fullscreen code is:

private function ToggleFullScreen(event : MenuEvent) : void {

stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle( 0 ,0 , 
Capabilities.screenResolutionX , Capabilities.screenResolutionY);

if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL) {

stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

} else { stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL; }

}

Also using the latest version of swfobject... have been googling, and spending 
a fair bit of time for this one, but it's
just not working for me.

I get the following error:

'SecurityError: Error #2152: Full screen mode is not allowed.
at flash.display::Stage/set_displayState()
at flash.display::Stage/set displayState()
at 
com.YcommaZ.navigation.main::Menu/ClickFullScreenButton()[/Users/karim/Documents/Work/Clients/YcommaZ/Site/src/com/YcommaZ/navigation/main/Menu.as:669]

anyone has ideas for this one?

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML TextFields - 'A HREF' RollOvers..

[Karim Beyrouti]

Created a utility class for "a href" rollovers in html textfields - 


https://code.google.com/p/kurstcode/source/browse/trunk/libs/com/kurst/utils/TextFieldUtils.as

Might be a little buggy - needs some testing, seems ok so far... 

usage: 

import com.kurst.utils.TextFieldUtils

TextFieldUtils.addHTMLRollOver( label, htmlHrefEvent , this );

function htmlHrefEvent( dataItem : TextFieldDataItem ) : void {

trace('MouseOverStatus: ' + dataItem.overFlag + ' htmlHrefEvent: ' + 
dataItem.href )

}


Hope this helps someone...

Re: [Flashcoders] html in textfield

[Karim Beyrouti]

try trashing returns before setting the htmltext in your field: 

function trashReturns ( val:String , charToReplace:String = " ") :String {

return replaceChar( val, "\r", charToReplace ) ;

}

function replaceChar( str : String, charToRemove : String , charToReplace : 
String) : String {

var temparray:Array = str.split(charToRemove);
return temparray.join(charToReplace);   

}

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML TextFields - 'A HREF' RollOvers..

[Karim Beyrouti]

TextEvents were a big improvement over asfunction (AS2 hack) - still - it 
would be nice if TextEvent had listeners for link rollovers / rollouts. 

I like the fact you can still get to the url through using 
textformat/getCharAtPoint.
Tooltip data is stored in the link:  
http://www.url.com/#this is a tooltip">
So it's easily updatable.

thanks again very useful bit of code.

@ Henrik - Not used the TextLineMirrorRegion or the flash.text.engine - but 
will look into it
when i get some time - looks like that could provide the functionality for 
rollover / rollouts.

Currently using TextEvent.LINK,to trigger links - but would like to

So far the only solution i can think of is using :  
TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint(x:Number, y:Number)
create this  - but it seems like this could be quite long winded  
solution.


Any other ways of achieving this?

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML TextFields - 'A HREF' RollOvers..

[Karim Beyrouti]

I've added a boolean - to save a few function calls - and also using a Timer ( 
instead of an enterframe) on a slowish delay - to save a few processor cycles.

private var tooltipFlag : Boolean = false;
/**
* @method 
* @tooltip
* @param
* @return
*/
private function detectMouseOverLink( e : TimerEvent = null ) : void {

var index   : Number = label.getCharIndexAtPoint (label.mouseX, 
label.mouseY);
var url : String = "";

if (index > 0) {

   var fmt:TextFormat = label.getTextFormat (index, index + 1);
   if (fmt.url) url = fmt.url;
   
}

if ( ( url.length > 0 ) 
&& ( ! tooltipFlag ) ) {

tooltipFlag = true;
trace('show - url: ' + url + ' tooltipFlag: ' + tooltipFlag );

} else if ( url.length == 0 && tooltipFlag ) { 

tooltipFlag = false; 
trace('hide - url: ' + url + ' tooltipFlag: ' + tooltipFlag );

}

}

If i get time - i might turn this into a utility class - so you can do 
something like:

txtRollOverManger.addRollOverListener( txt , callback ) - 
or
txtRollOverManger.removeRollOverListener( txt , callback ) 

i have a few textfields - quite a few timers might affect performance...

thanks...

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML TextFields - 'A HREF' RollOvers..

[Karim Beyrouti]

The HREF link is only part the the textfields content, and each textfield can 
have more than one link amongst other copy
and need to show relevant tooltip only when user is hovering over the 'a HREF' 
parts of the html textfield.

[Flashcoders] HTML TextFields - 'A HREF' RollOvers..

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hi All - 

Wondering if there are any hacks to trigger a 'RollOver' script when hovering 
over a 'a href' link in an html textfield. 
Currently using TextEvent.LINK,to trigger links - but would like to show a 
tooltip on rollover (of that part of text).

So far the only solution i can think of is using : 
TextField.getCharIndexAtPoint(x:Number, y:Number)
create this  - but it seems like this could be quite long winded solution. 

Any other ways of achieving this?

[Flashcoders] JPG Encoder - Issue: file may be truncated or incomplete

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hi All, 

I have a little bug with JPGs encoded through flash ( AIR app ). 

The application exports resized JPG's, which seem fine and display correctly in 
the 
browser - also all good when loaded back into flash.

However when opening them with photoshop i get the following error : 

"This document may be damaged ( the file may be truncated or incomplete 
). Continue?"

The JPG opens (in photoshop) with a missing strip at the end of the image. 
Sample encoded Image: http://gedit.kurst.co.uk/images/test/3.jpg

I am using the Asynchronous - ru.inspirit.utils.JPGEncoder . 
Anyone come across this bug with JPG's encoded in flash? 

Project: https://code.google.com/p/kurstcode/source/checkout
Code: 
https://code.google.com/p/kurstcode/source/browse/trunk/libs/com/kurst/air/ImageImporter.as

Currently going to try using the AS3 Core lib encoder to see if the inspirit 
encoder is the issue (or if it's me).


Many thanks

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR - ByteArray to BitmapData

[Karim Beyrouti]

it's a pleasure - 

missed a file in my upload to svn - now corrected and updated. 

I have also included a sample/test Flash Builder / Air 1.5 application that 
resizes Jpegs above a certain 
size - and copies the result to a 'temp' folder in the application directory. 
work in progress, but functional. I will be using that as an image importer in
for an application i am working on...

Spent quite a while making sure memory is cleared after each image resize/copy 
batch operation 
( i do wish Flash Player had better memory management / Control over the GC). 
Also tried the
Alchemy complied JPG encoders out there, which were much faster, but I think 
they created a
memory leak - although that's probably me not finding the clean-up  
functions.Ended up using 
the  'inspirit' async Jpg encoder here (thanks - http://blog.inspirit.ru/ - 
love his work ). 

hmm... that's quite a rant for me... enjoy...

Re: [Flashcoders] Question about approximate vowel detection in AS3

[Karim Beyrouti]

Yeh - not sure this will help

however - a (very talented) colleague of mine worked on a simple speech 
recognition software for mobile - it was built to recognise about 20 commands 
with 90% success rate.

His approach (in my simplistic terms) was:

1) get recordings / audio samples of the commands (in your case vowels - it 
should be easier as it's generated so you wont have to compare against too 
many/different intonations ) - 
2) create / store a graph of the audio commands ( this used FFT (s) - to 
abstract and simplify, the pattern of the commands - the result was a square 
voice print graph )
3) The stored patterns/voiceprints were then compared against the users voice 
recording. 

The trickiest part of this whole business were the Fast Fourier Transforms - 
these things get very complicated, and confuse the life out of me. Anyway, 
hopefully this
will help you - seems like it might be the best approach. if you do crack it - 
you will end up with a simple voice recognition system. Which would be a 
brilliant and useful thing bit of code to
have...

hope this was of any use..

Perfect - thank you for the extended and most useful the answer - had started

Re: [Flashcoders] swfObject, flashVars, loaded swf

[Karim Beyrouti]

how you pass the flash vars to flash depends on the version of SWFObject you 
are using - however - from flash - you can access the variable like so (as3):

stage.loaderInfo.parameters.myflashparam

However - you might need to make sure the swf has been 'AddedToStage'

[Flashcoders] AIR - ByteArray to BitmapData

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hi All 

do any of you how to convert a ByteArray (of a JPG) back into a BitmapData 
object? 

Actually - i just need to get the dimensions of the bitmap before trashing it. 
I know you can do 'myloader.loadBytes( byteArray )' - but i am avoiding that 
for now - as i just need to get the size of the image.

Any pointers?

Re: [Flashcoders] Image loader problem

[Karim Beyrouti]

I went for bulkloader over making my own queued loader - as it has so  
many tested features. Here is a little code to help get you started  
( if you need it )...



Instantiate the loader...



// New Bulk Loader
imgLoader   = new BulkLoader( 'NameOfLoaderInstance');
imgLoader.addEventListener(BulkLoader.COMPLETE, AllItemsLoaded ,  
false , 0 , true );




Load images:



// Clear the loader of any previously loaded images
imgLoader.removeAll();

// Add all the images to the loading queue
for ( var i : int = 0 ; i < _data.length ; i ++ ){

var record  : Object= _data.getItemAt( i );

var item: LoadingItem   = imgLoader.add( record['uri'] );
		item.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE , completeHandler , false ,  
0 , true );
		item.addEventListener( ProgressEvent.PROGRESS , progressHandler ,  
false , 0 , true );


}

// start loading - one item at a item - this will load images in the  
order you added them

imgLoader.start( 1 );




Image Loaded Event Handler:




private function completeHandler( e : Event ) : void {

//
// remove event listeners and reference the bitmap
var item:LoadingItem= e.target as LoadingItem;
item.removeEventListener( Event.COMPLETE , completeHandler );
item.removeEventListener( ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, 
progressHandler );

var sURL : String   = item.url.url;

var record : Object = getRecordByKey( sURL, 'uri' );
record.loadid   = sURL;

view.addImage( imgLoader.getBitmap( record.loadid ) , record );
}



hope this helps...

Karim

@Muzak,

I normally only use the XML class.
I notice you using XMLList.
Could you explain when XML is appropriate and when to use XML.
I read the help, but this does not explain the nitty-gritty.

Yeh - this might not work - I already have a similar structure, and as the
ComboBox adds the List to the stage. I tried to find a 'lockRoot' type of
solution for AS3 - but no joy there.

This might be a bit cumbersome but less processor intensive. Instead of
using MOUSE_MOVE, create two Sprites on the stage. One as a content pane and
other as a custom cursor pane. Then add all content including the combo box
to the content pane and the cursor to the cursor pane. I can't say for sure
if the combo box will still display on top but may be worth a shot if you're
big on freeing up resources.

Perfect - thank you !

it seems a little odd that the ComboBox adds the List to the stage and  
not one of its own children. Maybe memory/resource managment. h.

Of course, you must substitute your custom cursor's instance name for
'customCursor'.

Are you using CursorManager or adding the cursor in some other way?

[Flashcoders] ComboBox + Custom Cursor , AS3

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hello All - 

I am a little stumped by this one. 

I am using a custom cursor ( added to the stage ), 
one of my loaded SWF's has a drop down comboBox - 

The problem:

The List gets added to the stage and goes over the custom mouse cursor. 
Do you guys know of any fixes for this one?

RE: [Flashcoders] ComboBox not dropping down in browser?

[Karim Beyrouti]

The problem with the drop down not working could be you removing some needed
assets from the styling MovieClips. I suggest if you need to remove some
bits of components you just test a lot and try to set the alpha to 0 from
the palette if you need to remove something... 

As for the fonts - I had some issues. This code worked for me (AS3 FP9):
Note "GothamMedium" is embedded in the lib.



var tClass:Class= getDefinitionByName("GothamMedium") as Class;
Font.registerFont(tClass);

var tf:TextFormat   = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Gotham Medium";
tf.size = 12;
tf.bold = false;

cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("embedFonts" , true);
cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat" , tf);
cmb_mc.textField.setStyle("fontFamily" , "Gotham Medium" );
cmb_mc.textField.setStyle("embedFonts" , true );

dob_txt.embedFonts = true;
dob_txt.setTextFormat( tf);
StyleManager.setStyle( "textFormat" , tf)




Hope this helps

I have a combo box that I just styled, everything works perfectly in the
flash ide, all of the data populates, it drops down, is styled fine, Now
when I open it in the browser, I click to drop it down, nothing happens. If
I click it then tab to the box it shows the yellow outline of wear the
content should be yet nothing is there, also my font styling for this box
seems to have no effect in the browser, yet like I said in the ide,
everything is perfect.
thank you to anyone who can help, I will continue my struggle, haha.

[Flashcoders] AS3 - Checking if a Function Exists

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hello Group - 

This should be really easy. I am trying to find out how to check if a
function exists or not in AS3 - 
I tried this: 


If ( currentSection.refresh != null ) {
currentSection.refresh();
}




But I get "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property refresh not found" when the
function does not exist.

Any clues?


Kind Regards

RE: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback - Buffering

[Karim Beyrouti]

Hi Leandro  - thanks for the reply - 

However I am looking to get the Percentage of buffering - so something like:

bufferLoaded/bufferTime

So far I have found this:

flvPlayer.getVideoPlayer(flvPlayer.activeVideoPlayerIndex).netStream.bufferL
ength /
flvPlayer.getVideoPlayer(flvPlayer.activeVideoPlayerIndex).netStream.bufferT
ime;

but it's not spitting out the correct values - I guess I am
miss-interpreting them.




Regards


Karim

Let me get this: you want to set the buffer or just get its percentage? If
so, you expect a percentage from what?
If you want to change the buffer length, try bufferTime.
