Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Resizing AS window

I assume you are using cs4? I've had that problem as well. Click on the arrows to minimize the AS window to an icon. When you click to expand the icon the window will be the size of the screen and you can drag it around to your liking. hth On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 5:50 AM, Lehr, Theodore

you can embed cuepoints in the flv and listen for them to cue events. Most reliable way to embed them is via the Adobe Media Encoder one way to access them is like: import fl.video.VideoEvent; import fl.video.MetadatEvent; myVid.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, doThis); function

[Flashcoders] sound stick around issue

2009-09-09 Thread Sam Brown
Hello all, I have an issue which will probably be a softball for you guys... Basically I have a gallery-type nav; when you click on an item, an external swf is loaded into a container_mc. The container_mc lives in the main timeline and is simply used to tween the loaded swf in/out and around.

If you want to simply add cuepoints that you can trigger off of with AS, try the Flash Media Encoder - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/video_encoder/ that will allow you to seek to point in the video and more. hope that helps, Sam On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 2:51 PM, TS

what kind of update method are you using. If the mouse is lagging, perhaps set up a hyper update function. (hyper in the sense that it updates like twice a frame?) other than that, not sure. This is the only method I've used/found as well. On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 12:09 PM, Andrew Sinning
