Re: [Flashcoders] LocalConnection and Media Components?

2006-10-28 Thread Martin Scott Goldberg 
I downloaded your examples and they worked fine both in the IDE and the
browser.  I'm going to just try and rebuild from those.  As I stated, I
already had coded a working player (with static file location), so I'll
try and merge your localconnection examples and go from there.

Thanks for your help and time.


Marty




Start by running both swf's in the IDE, so you can see the trace output.
Once you got that working, try in a browser and see if the output is displayed 
in the textfield.

 Hi Ray, that didn't work either.  Changed the code to reflect those
 help pages as well, and that didn't work either.  Here's the sending code:

 play_button.onRelease = function()
 {
 var sending_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
 sending_lc.send(_myConnections, setMedia, inmylife.mp3,
 MP3);
 }


 Here's the recieving code:

 _root.my_display.associateController(my_controller);
 _root.my_controller.controllerPolicy = on;

 var receiving_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
 function setMedia(file:String, type:String){
 _root.my_display.setMedia(file, type);
 }
 receiving_lc.allowDomain = function():Boolean {
  return true;
 }
 receiving_lc.connect(_myConnections);




 This is getting really dissheartening that there's this much of a problem
 to do what should be a simple function.

Hi,
in your receiving LocalConnection object add allowDomain:

this.receiving_lc.allowDomain = function():Boolean {
 return true;
}

Also, use an underscore at the front of your connection name: _MyConnections.

See the docs for more info:

You have things a bit in a weird order in the receiving swf.
Also, receiving_lc outside and inside the initialize function are 2 
differenct variables/instances.
receiving_lc in the initialize function is local to the function, because of 
the var keyword.

And nested functions are a 'no no'..

Re: [Flashcoders] LocalConnection and Media Components?

2006-10-27 Thread Muzak 
If both swf's are on the same domain, you don't need to do anything special to 
get things working.

Have you tried simplifying things, like sending a simple text message from one 
swf to the other?


// sender swf

import mx.utils.Delegate;

function sendMessage() {
 trace(Sender ::: sendMessage);
 var sending_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
 sending_lc.send(_myConnections, setMedia, Hello World);
}

play_button.onRelease = Delegate.create(this, this.sendMessage)



// reciever swf

import mx.utils.Delegate;

function setMedia(msg:String) {
trace(Receiver ::: setMedia);
trace(msg);
// make sure there's a textfield on stage called message_txt
this.message_txt.text += msg+\n;
}

var receiving_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
receiving_lc.setMedia = Delegate.create(this, this.setMedia);
receiving_lc.connect(_myConnections);



Start by running both swf's in the IDE, so you can see the trace output.

Re: [Flashcoders] LocalConnection and Media Components?

2006-10-19 Thread Andy Herrman 

I'm pretty new at this, so I'm not sure how much help I can really be,
but I'll give it a shot.

One thing I just noticed is that in your code for the button movie you
instantiate the LocalConnection but don't call connect().  If what you
gave there is all of your code than that's probably the problem.

You seem to be including the name of the connection when you call
'send'.  I don't think this is right (at least from the way I'm used
to using it).  Instead, you'd do something like this:

 var sending_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
 sending_lc.connect(myConnections);
 play_button.onRelease = function()
 {
sending_lc.send(methodToExecute, C:/inmylife.mp3, MP3);
 }

Try that and see if it helps.

Hi Andy,

I started with a working player, meaning I had a working flash movie that
played the local mp3 in the web browser window.  So the locality shouldn't
be an issue. I then tried extending it with the LocalConnection material.

I've been trying to do some things to check out what's being called and
what isn't, and it looks like my processing function in the player never
gets called.

Is it a possibility of an html problem?  I'm publishing the player movie,
publishing the button movie, and then clipping and pasting the object
definition from the button movie html in to the player movie html.

The other issue is I don't know if the MediaDisplay component can have its
associated file changed midstream?

Have you put any logging in place to see if the communication itself
is working, or are you just not seeing it change the media?

Looking at the code you have there it looks like you're trying to load
a file from the local FS, which I don't think will work if the movie
is loaded in a browser over HTTP (though I may be wrong.  I'm still
new at this).  It's possible the communication is working but the
action it's taking isn't.  Try something simple first, like having one
movie send a string to another one to display.  I find it's always
best to start with something simple so that there are less things that
could be broken, and then add more stuff onto it once it works.

Hey all, I'm trying to use LocalConnection to allow communication between

I started with working code for the media player movie, and tried
expanding it to use LocalConnection.

As the code stands right now, the button doesn't appear to be
communicating with the player or causing it to load the desired music
file. Are there any issues with dynamically loading a target using
setMedia?

Here's the code for the player:

initialize();
receiving_lc.connect(myConnections);
function initialize()
{

my_display.associateController(my_controller);
my_controller.controllerPolicy = on;

var receiving_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
receiving_lc.methodToExecute = function(param1:String, param2:String)
{
  my_display.setMedia(C:/inmylife.mp3, MP3);
}

}


Here's the code for the button movie:

var sending_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
play_button.onRelease = function()
{
sending_lc.send(myConnections, methodToExecute, C:/inmylife.mp3,
MP3);
}




Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] LocalConnection and Media Components?

2006-10-18 Thread Martin Scott Goldberg 
Hi Andy,

I started with a working player, meaning I had a working flash movie that
played the local mp3 in the web browser window.  So the locality shouldn't
be an issue. I then tried extending it with the LocalConnection material.

I've been trying to do some things to check out what's being called and
what isn't, and it looks like my processing function in the player never
gets called.

Is it a possibility of an html problem?  I'm publishing the player movie,
publishing the button movie, and then clipping and pasting the object
definition from the button movie html in to the player movie html.

The other issue is I don't know if the MediaDisplay component can have its
associated file changed midstream?
