[Flashcoders] Memory issue with large images
Hi All, Sorry if this is an old issue thats been discussed but couldn't find anything in google or the archives. I'm building a program that loads in images that could be over 2mb and we have noticed that the memory usage spikes after the image is loaded. Not only that but depending on if u use AS2 or AS3, memory usage could be higher in one while the other is lower. We are assuming this is Flash decompressing the image for view, but I'm curious if thats the truth. Any one know?? Here are some test results: File size: 4.26mb - Memory usage: (AS2) 61.2mb - (AS3) 55mb File size: 88k - Memory usage: (AS2) 9.9k - (AS3) 11k Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback Component on Limelight
Thanks Helen, but i have all that stuff setup correctly. At least i think so... I have an app folder named test and my videos are in test/streams/_definst_ As well as the main.asc file sitting in the test folder. I've been able to use the Flash Component with FMS before with this setup so not sure whats up. I think its something either with there servers or maybe there is some custom configuration i have to do with NCManager?? Thanks, Lori- Helen Triolo wrote: 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] Password Protected Webservice call - Help Please!
Sorry, when i call the webservice in flash it get an error
opening URL but i know its the right url for the webservice. When i call it in
a browser it pops open a dialog box asking for the username and password of the
webservice.
What i'm doing is very basic:
pWebServiceLocation = http://webserviceURL?WSDL;;
var pWebService:WebService = new WebService(pWebServiceLocation, new Log());
pWebService.onLoad = function() {
trace(tracking suceeded );
};
pWebService.onFault = function(fault) {
trace(SERVICE failed);
};
I think i have to send the username and password to the webservice in order to
call it but i'm not sure how to do that.
thanks,

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Password Protected Webservice call - Help Please!
Also, I looked on the web, and the closest answer I could find was for a
PHP solution, where the username and password are part of the URL since
the HTTP directory may be password protected:
//PHP script
define('username', 'foo');
define('password', 'bar');
// This is location of the remote service
$client = new soapclient('http://' . username . : . password .
'@www.myserver.com/ws/server.php?wsdl', true);
$client-setCredentials(username,password);
So perhaps in Actionscript, something like:
var username=myusername; var password = mypassword;
var pWebService:WebService = new
WebService(http://+username+:+password+@www.myserver.com/myWS.asmx?
WSDL);
I'm just guessing though... not sure if that would work.

Yep, according to the programmer who is handling the webservice programming he is using Windows Authentication to handle username and password.

Seems to me like you could do the same thing without PHP at all. Just use the username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] syntax in your AS when making the web service call. The host browser should send along the login with the request. Jpsh if you look at my post a little closer, I wasn't suggesting PHP at all - just showing an example of how it's done with PHP, therefore they way it possibly translates to actionscript, (which is the same thing you now posted), which Lori said was already tried and failed.

[Flashcoders] XPathAPI problems with wildcard searches
I've been having problems with the xpathapi. I've been trying to do a
wildcard search and according to all the documentation it's supported
yet even simple straight forward search isn't working. Can anyone help?
Example :
code
import mx.xpath.XPathAPI;
x = new XML(test thing='boo'items name='blah'item foo='bar'/item
foo='blah'//items/test);
r = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(x,/*/item);
for (var i in r) {
trace(r[i]);
}
/code
Thanks in advance,
Lori-

RE: [Flashcoders] XPathAPI problems with wildcard searches
The reason I am trying to do the wildcard search is because I have nodes of the same name at different levels and I need them all. So giving a specific path wouldn't give me all of the nodes I need. Here's an expert... xml node nodid=cue14 /node node nodid=cue15 closecaptioning![CDATA[]]/closecaptioning actions action type=evt_post data type=reply order=1 videofile=debate1.flv length=55666 slides node nodid=cue1 order=13 index=true slidefile= printfile=slide1.jpg thumbfile=slide1.jpg type=slide closecaptioning![CDATA[]]/closecaptioning actions / /node /slides /action /actions /node /xml Yes * and / are mathematical operators but in the context of a xpath search they are used as you expect if you were doing a regex search... which also supports the * and / What I am attempting to do is get all the node nodes by doing r = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(myXML,/*/node); If anyone else has experienced the same trouble and know a way around it or know what I'm doing wrong that would be great!

The obvious answer, based on your example XML, is to use ./items/item, but I don't know if your real XML is more complex or not. If it is, you just need to make your select statement more explicit. ryanm ___ 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 ___ 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
[Flashcoders] Preventing Compilation of components and source code
Hey All, I'm trying to build an application with distributed swf's, which contain components and have linkages to external source code files. One thing I've come across is that some of the same code references and components are being used across my files (ie. I'm using a radio button in 4 different places). I'd like to prevent the code from compiling over and over again into each of these files and make one file that contains all of the code for the application. Does anyone know any tutorials or references I can read up on how to do this? And can u tell me if what I'm suggesting is just crazy and impossible?

RE: [Flashcoders] netstream and seeking. high fps.
There should be a way when compressing video to specify just how many keyframes you want. And yes in order to seek to specific positions you will need to add more keyframes. Flash whether through FCS or on disc only seeks to keyframes. You could use the flash Video Encoder to add in keyframes at specific points as well.

I found that you need really high frame rates, or a lot of keyframes. because flash uses the closest keyframe to whatever seek time you go to. so if I have a 30 second video encoded at 30fps. there is only like 2 keyframes. so when this is the case if you seek it only goes to either the very beginning of the video or the very end, I have tested this with my components and macromedia's standard components. there isn't any in between. I have read about this in various place and what not. I just wanted to hear from somebody else who also had experience with this issue. the solution is just to export flv's at a high frame rate. so you get way more keyframes. right? after sayng and asking that. how does youtube seek? they must be using flash media server that has some more capabilities?? ___ 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 ___ 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] BitmapData.draw and FLV's
I'm having the same problem as Jordon. But It's with Flash 7 video using netstream. I have version 8.0.22.0 of the plugin and it shows up as a white box when I try and do a draw command on something that has FCS video.

RE: [Flashcoders] BitmapData and Streaming Video
[previous message] Hey Lori, does it happen with progressive downloaded FLV's or true FCS streamed video? I've been able to do it with progressive's without a problem. [/previous message] It's FCS video that I'm having a problem with. The app I'm building runs off of both cd and web. And the cd version is playing great, It's only when I'm trying to do the same screen capture with FCS video that I have a problem.

[Flashcoders] BitmapData and Streaming Video
Hi All, I'm attempting to take a capture of the stage doing BitmapData. It seems to be working throughout my movie, EXCEPT, when I have streaming video on the stage. Has anyone else run into this issue, maybe come up with a work around? Here's the code I'm using, It's really straight forward so I'm not sure whats up... var myBitmap:BitmapData= new BitmapData(1024, 768, false, 0x00FF); _root.pageFlip.myScreen.attachBitmap(myBitmap, 1000); myBitmap.draw(_root); _root.pageFlip._visible=true; Also to note, I'm calling a function that is doing this every time the screen gets updated.
