[Flashcoders] avoid red-eye effect library in photographs made in actionscript - possible?

Hi, is possible the subject? Is there any library/algorithm to avoid the red eye effect in a photograph made in actionscript? I'm working on AIR, so access to file system is covered. If not, has any of you tried some library/solution? Any help/link/idea is welcome. I'm making my research on this

[Flashcoders] removeChild madness

I know there's a lot written about the Garbage Collection, and removing assets in AS3... I'm trying to get my hands around it, but I'm still strugling ;) A simple example: I'm adding a MovieClip from the library, and I'm removing it as well, like a toggle. The MovieClip contains the

[Flashcoders] FLA/SWF TO FLV

I have a flash animation that I need to convert to FLV. How should I proceed for best results? Should I convert SWF to FLV? I tried the MagicSwf2AVI, but the cropping was weird and the FLV quality was poor. Maybe because they are using poor encoder... Perhaps another approach... Should I

RE: [Flashcoders] removeChild madness

I'm not sure but I think you don't correctly remove the onEnterFrame Event. As you use the weakReference you miss the false in the remove method, you should remove it that way: removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame, false); If this doesn't solve your problem, I usually set

[Flashcoders] TextArea class properties

I have a TexrArea I am creating via: mx.controls.TextArea I am trying to find a way to make it so the text is not selectable - when I select some text I get a green border around the textarea - I would like to get that to not show up and I am thinking that if they can not select the text

Sounds like its a focus UI thing. You may need to turn that bit off. Eric On Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 12:09 PM, Lehr, Theodore M (N-SGIS) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah - didn't seem to affect anything -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of

[Flashcoders] AS3 dynamic text fields and img

I have an AS3 project where an icon is supposed to follow the text in a dynamic, multi-line text field. Right now, I'm appending it as an img tag at the end of the text. My problem is that it seems AS3 is always bumping the img down to a new line unless it's the first item in the string. No amount

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 dynamic text fields and img

hmmm, have you tried: textFieldName.text += img... if that is not working, then try building it all in one sentence: imgAtEnd = img... segment1 = some value + imgAtEnd; //segment2 = same as segment 1 and 3 and 4 only with new different values textFieldName.text = segment1 + segment2 + segment3

[Flashcoders] getting loader to work with security policy...

I'm having some diffuculty getting a loader object to call a php script that puts some data into the database (mysql) and returns a string. I placed a crossdomain.xml doc on the website at the level of the .swf. but can't seem to verify whether the policy doc is loaded or not. In AS3 do I have

RE: [Flashcoders] getting loader to work with security policy...

Hi Boyd, Yes, you'll need to do import flash.system.Security; to use the loadPolicyFile method. Also, in your crossdomain.xml, you'll need to include allow-access-from domain=www.boyd-speer.com/, or allow-access-from domain=*.boyd-speer.com/ The way it is coded now will only allow the specific

Re: [Flashcoders] getting loader to work with security policy...

Maybe I'm misreading something, but placing a crossdomain policy file in boyd-speer.com to allow access from boyd-speer.com makes not much sense to me... The crossdomain file has to be placed in the target host, i.e. the server that holds the php file. It says, let any swf server from this domain

RE: [Flashcoders] Component Issue

Sounds like you're using AS2. When you put the textarea on the stage, try doing it with movieclip.createclassobject() and when you want to get rid of it, use destroyObject(). I just went through some difficulties with the same issue. - MM ___

[Flashcoders] Tween multiple rotations

Hi, I am trying to rotate an object through 1080 (3 * 360) degrees with TweenLite. Does anyone know if I have to join a sequence of 360 tweens together to do this, or is there a way of cheating so it just does as you would hope? Thanks Glen -- Glen Pike 01326 218440
