[Flashcoders] 1D Perlin Noise

2007-02-01 Thread Mike Cobb

-

Hello,

Has anybody successfully created a 1-dimensional perlin number generator 
in actionscript? I had built one in Lingo using this website: 
http://freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/models/m_perlin.htm to help me, 
but when I converted it into actionscript, the numbers just kept rising!


Anyone have anything similar? Here's my lingo behaviour:

--PERLIN NOISE GENERATOR

property pSprite, pTime

on beginsprite me
  pSprite = me.spritenum
  pTime   = 0.1
end

on exitframe me
  pTime = pTime + 0.1
  vBlend = myPerlin()
  sprite(pSprite).blend = vBlend
end


on myPerlin me

  vTotal = 0

  repeat with i = 0 to 4

vFreq = 2 * i
vAmpl = i

vTotal = vTotal + interpolateNoise(float(pTime) * vFreq) * vAmpl

  end repeat

  return vTotal

end

on interpolateNoise vX

  vIntX = integer(vX)
  vFraX = vX - vIntX

  v1 = smoothNoise(vIntX)
  v2 = smoothNoise(vIntX + 1)

  return interpolateCosine(v1, v2, vFraX)

end

on interpolateCosine a, b, vX
  ft = vX * 3.1415927
  f = (1 - cos(ft)) * .5

  return  a*(1-f) + b*f
end

on smoothNoise vX
  vX = float(vX)
  return noise(vX)/2 + noise(vX-1)/4 + noise(vX+1)/4
end

on noise vX
  vX = integer(vX)
  return (1.0 - ((vX * (vX * vX * 15731 + 789221) + 1376312589) + 79) / 
1073741824.0)

end

[Flashcoders] Remove elements from Array

2006-12-21 Thread Mike Cobb

-

Hi everyone,

I'm having a braindead moment today, which I was hoping someone could 
help me with.


I have the following array...

//Create array with 5 elements
var myArray1:Array = new Array();
myArray1.push( new Array(A:, -1) );
myArray1.push( new Array(B:, -1) );
myArray1.push( new Array(C:,  0) );
myArray1.push( new Array(D:,  0) );
myArray1.push( new Array(E:, -1) );
myArray1.push( new Array(F:,  1) );
myArray1.push( new Array(G:,  0) );
myArray1.push( new Array(H:, -1) );
//name, score

...and I'm trying to remove all the elements in myArray1 with a score of 
less than 0 without sorting/reordering the array at all.


I was trying to use a 'for loop', but obviously as the elements are 
removed, the length of the array changes  causes the wrong elements to 
be deleted.


Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Mike

oh brilliant - just what I needed.

Thanks Andy!

Andy Herrman wrote:

you could use a while loop:

var i:Number = 0
while(i  myArray1.length) {
 if(myArray1[i][1] == 0) {
   /* I think this is right: */
   myArray1.splice(i, 1);
 } else {
   i++;
 }
}

Splicing will cause the next item to be at index i, so you want to
recheck that index the next time through the loop.

Or you could loop over it and just store another array containing the
indexes of the ones you need to remove, then loop through that and
remove from the array (go backwards though, so that the indexes of
unremoved ones won't be changed by removing others).

Re: [Flashcoders] Remove elements from Array

2006-12-21 Thread Mike Cobb

Thanks Michael - that's an elegant solution.

Don't worry about the array name though - just a simplified example for 
the sake of the list.


Thanks again all.

T. Michael Keesey wrote:

Quite simple:

for (var key:String in myArray1) {
   if (myArray1[key][1]  0) {
   myArray1.splice(Number(key), 1);
   }
}

BTW, myArray1 is not a great name for a variable ... why not
scoreRecords or scores or something? Also, storing different types
of data in an array is a recipe for confusions. The element arrays
would be better as objects, e.g.: {name: A, score: -1}.Then the code
would be more readable:

for (var key:String in scoreRecords) {
   var record:Object = scoreRecords[key];
   if (record.score  0) {
   scoreRecords.splice(Number(key), 1);
   }
}

Or the whole thing could just be an associative array (i.e., hash object):

var scores:Object = {A: -1, B: -1, C: 0};
// ...
for (var key:String in scoreRecords) {
   if (scoreRecords[key]  0) {
   delete scoreRecords[key];
   }
}

Re: [Flashcoders] setting box

2006-12-19 Thread Mike Cobb

-

The settings box can't be accessed through code for security reasons. 
You do need some kind of pointing device to set up the computer, but 
there is a checkbox that lets you remember settings, so you only need to 
do this once (right-click on the flash movie  select 'Settings...', 
check 'allow'  also the 'remember' checkbox below). With an internet 
connection, you can also setup the file as 'trusted' for that computer 
here: 
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html


I have come across a problem where the privacy settings weren't 
remembered because the flash movie ran inside a Zinc wrapper. It was a 
permanent installation that ran in a theme park  was automatically 
switched on every morning from a server rack. I ended up using a Windows 
macro program to move the mouse cursor  'click' the allow button!


Hope that helps you,

Mike

[Flashcoders] Text background

Hi!

I've got a tricky problem which I want to put to the list: Does anyone 
know any way to style a chunk of text with a background colour?


I've got a dynamic multi-line textfield bringing in html text. Flash has 
no CSS support for background-color, so I would like to find a 
workaround for adding a background to portions of text.


Flash 8, AS2

Any ideas?

This works fine for me. Try putting it in an html file  uploading it - 
it might just be a local problem.


The only issue I have is that a second click will not bring the window

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV8/VP6 decoding?

2006-08-30 Thread Mike Cobb

-

VP6 is a 'lossy' codec, which means it degrades the image quality of the 
video. If you convert an FLV to an AVI, you will get a low quality video 
with a high file size. Any compression you put on top will further 
degrade the quality of the image.


With this caveat in mind, you can convert an FLV to an AVI. The only way 
I know of is to import your FLV into the timeline of a new flash movie 
(make sure to set the correct stage size and frame rate). You can then 
export the flash movie to AVI format.


Hope that helps,

Mike

Re: [FlashCoders] Local storage warning

2006-08-25 Thread Mike Cobb

-

I had a similar problem with the camera security dialog box and Zinc. My 
app was actually a kiosk, and my workaround was quite long winded - but 
it might give you some ideas.


First I should mention that checking the 'remember my settings' box in 
the security dialog never worked for me (apparently it's a bug in Zinc), 
so this is what I had to do:


On starting my Zinc application, I launched a macro program (Macro 
Express - http://www.macros.com/) to move the cursor and 'click' the 
Allow button. This worked great for a kiosk with an automated startup 
procedure.


I don't know if this will be of any help, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

So, can I?

Re: [Flashcoders] Capped MovieClip._rotation, what can be done?

2006-08-21 Thread Mike Cobb

As I understand it, flash is limited to rotating objects in steps of 0.1 
degrees.

Bart Wttewaall wrote:

Hi Flashcoders,

I've been busy recreating the famous PageFlip application and I've
noticed something weird. It seems that movieclips have a limitation to
their rotation. When I turn over a page in the application, there are
visible errors in the shadows and masks that make this page up. They
flicker left and right when dragging the page, due to their capped
_rotation property.

Wanna see for yourself? Paste this on your root, then create a rather
wide movieclip (name = mc) and set the fps to 99 for a visible
demonstration:

var rot = 0;
onEnterFrame = function() {
rot += 0.01;
mc._rotation = rot;
}

You'll notice that the movieclip won't rotate smoothly, but rather
tick like a clock, skipping angles.

I've already accepted that there's nothing that can be done about
this, but just to be sure I'd like to ask if anyone has had trouble
with this in their application and what you did about it, either to
mask it up or actually solve this problem.

With regards,
Bart Wttewaall

I did an l-system implementation in AS2 recently. In FP8 i could only do
simple systems with a couple of recursions before the player choked, and
playback was slow as well (i animated the growth with perlin noise for a
wind effect). Porting to AS3 let me quadruple the l-system complexity, still
get instantaneous results and far, far better playback speed.

Not hard numbers, i know, but pretty mindblowing for me to watch as a
developer.

AS3 doesn't wrap AS2, this is important to remember. AS2 was pretty much
AS1 with knobs on, AS3 is a new language to learn (albeit not a tough one to
learn if you're used to AS2).

I posted about the 3D engine I wrote and the speed increase I got when 
I converted it to AS3 a few days ago so you can check that out as an 
example of just how much faster it is ;p

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 faster ??

Hi people, they say that AS3 is 10 times faster than AS2 but what does 
that really means ? Does that mean that my movies will play faster 
even if I have a few dozens movieclips with graphics flying all over 
the screen? Or does it just mean that my .swf will be compiling 10 times

faster?

Re: [Flashcoders] camera detection

2006-06-15 Thread Mike Cobb

Hello,

If you right-click on the flash movie and check the remember box, this 
will stop the dialog appearing for that computer only.


There is no way to stop the dialog box appearing unless a user does this 
- it's a security feature to stop us developers spying on people without 
their knowledge ;)

Hello all,

 


I am trying to develop  camera recording application.

I was able to record the video and save it and play back again .

 


But my problem is :  it needs to  show  camera feed in video component by
default,  if user has already attached camera to  his PC and 


NOT show the setting popup asking user to allow camera access.

 


How can I go about this ?

Thanks in  advance 


Regards,

Mayur

Re: [Flashcoders] Infrared camera for the Mac

2006-06-08 Thread Mike Cobb

-

A bit off topic, but you can convert an ordinary (cheaper the better) 
webcam into infrared.
Many webcams are IR capable, but have a filter over the lens. With care, 
you can smash the filter without damaging the lens. Then you just need 
to create a daylight filter to remove all natural light except IR - a 
piece of camera film negative that is completely black will do this.


There are instructions on Google ;)

HTH,

Mike
