Re: [Flashcoders] Bitmap.draw versus MovieClipLoader

2007-07-06 Thread mike . nowak
 It seems that calling bitmap.draw on a movieclip that has a downloaded 
image
 forces another download - I haven't veified this via netmon (yet) - but
 notice that a sandbox security violation occurs when call that function. 
 To
 me that doesn't make sense, If I already gave it permission to use that
 image from that domain, why would some other component using that same
 instance need to have the same permission (security line entries in the
 class file)?


Haven't looked into it too deeply but look into

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/system/LoaderContext.html#checkPolicyFile

Might just be as simple as setting checkPolicyFile to true.

[Flashcoders] Flash + Bitmap

2007-05-22 Thread Mike Nowak
Curious issue that I ran into.

I have this small flash app meant to run locally. It basically shows the 
current webcame stream and when a user hits a button, it takes a snapshot 
(copy over the video to bitmap object) and then later the user can print it. 
Works fine.

Except when I change the security setting to not be Deny.

Everytime you get to the camera part, the security dialog comes up, you hit 
allow and everything works fine. I want to hide that dialog, so I go to 
settings and hit allow and check remember this. The camera works fine and 
no security prompt comes up, BUT, for some reason, if I do this the bitmap 
object won't make a copy of the video. Is there some additional security that 
I'm missing there? This is... odd behaviour.

Re: [Flashcoders] [OT] Flash player on the PS3?

2006-11-13 Thread Mike Nowak
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/13/2006 12:09 PM 
So, has the PS3's browser the Flash player by default? Which version?
Keeping in mind that is running Linux*, is it version 7? I've tried to
find information in their website* but no luck at all.

---

Pretty sure it's 7. However, it should be noted that despite all the power of 
the cell, Flash on the PS3 isn't all that speedy.
http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/11/playing-nintendos-donkey-kong-on-sonys-ps3/

As they point out, it's good for FLVs, but interactive games? Not so much. 


 Does anyone know if Wii or XBox have it as well?

The XBox 360 has no browser and Microsoft has made no mention or interest at 
one coming. While it can't be ruled out, I wouldn't hold your breath. HOWEVER, 
if you look closely, you might notice that the bundled arcade game Hexic is 
actually powered by Macromedia Flash -- so while there might not be a Flash 
player within the 360, it has, clearly, already been ported. It's just not as 
accessible to us normal guys as it is through a simple browser.

Re: [Flashcoders] Faking 3D perspective of a 2D map in Flash 8..?

2006-11-12 Thread Mike Nowak
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/10/2006 1:32:09 PM 
Hello.
 
I'm trying to take a vector map of North America and produce the sense of
'flying over' it.  I want to have the flat map tipped along the X axis, so
that the bottom (Florida, Texas, etc.) appear closer and the top (Nunuvut,
Greenland, etc.) appear farther away.



Like so?

[Flashcoders] Flash videos streaming from RealServer

2006-07-18 Thread Mike Nowak
We were recently forced to move a whole lot of videos to a seperate RealServer 
media streaming server. After changing the paths, all our flvs worked fine... 
however, any SWFs with videos embeded in them (for various reasons) behave 
oddly. The videos play, but I can't do much beyond that.

getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() are undefined, which I can understand, so 
I switched to using _framesloaded and _framestotal (which comes in as the file 
streams in).

telling it to stop() or go to a frame doesn't do anything, and I'm having 
trouble with unloading it, amongst other things.

Yet, when I test locally, everything works. Is it RealServer? Is it a 
cross-domain issue (and if it is, why's the file playing to begin with and why 
do the flvs work)? I'm totally at a loss at trouble shooting this.

Re: [Flashcoders] Embed polish characters in Font Symbol

2006-06-28 Thread Mike Nowak
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/28/2006 12:17 PM 
If I manually create the textfield and populate it with text and embeds
the characters via the Properties box then it works fine! But as soon as I
add make a Font Symbol with the same font, my manually created textfield
loses the Polish characters. Have I missed something?


Have you tried creating a blank dynamic text field in the root of your movie 
and just embedding the characters there? Everything creating dynamically after 
that should have them.

Re: [Flashcoders] Eolas fix and backspace key flash bug

2006-06-13 Thread Mike Nowak
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/13/2006 4:40:17 PM 
 why not use UFO or similar  [...] 

Since JS is restricted.

 [...] and provide an additional noscript / with the somewhat 
 deprecated object and embed ?

Originally:  I have to embed flash applets into web pages directly, without 
Javascript
Eolas workaround. The users therefore have to click to activate the
flash movie in IE. 

Using noscript doesn't fix the EOLAS click to activate *feature* and the 
focus bugs that it likely creates.

Getting back to the original questio, I can't replicate the BACKSPACE issue, 
but I definitely see it with TAB. One possible workaround could be to set a 
textfield off stage. Tab will still go through the movie before going back to 
the browser, so maybe setting a onSetFocus handler to look for that and then 
manually refocusing on that one text field? Might keep IE at bay, but I haven't 
tested it.
