Re: [flexcoders] Realtime 3D to FLV

2008-01-23 Thread Steve Mathews
We have done something like this. Our Flash/Flex is hosted inside of a Windows Form where we capture images then stream them into a custom converter that writes an avi. Then we use ffmpeg to convert the avi to flv. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't an existing library to do this. But if you

[flexcoders] addChild vs. addRawChild and performance

2008-01-22 Thread Steve Mathews
Someone posted recently describing that addRawChild adds DisplayObject in a way that they are not included in the size and layout of the container (if I understood correctly). Does anyone know if this would be better or worse for the overall performance of a Flex app? So if you did not need layout

Are you using RSLs? Only time that I have to clean is when I create a new workspace and import projects that rely on each other. When I had RSLs I had to clean now and then to resolve some things, but it was by no means often. On 1/15/08, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is it just m

You can use hasDefinition to check for it. I have also run into a situation where classes aren't available for a few seconds (but after loading a swf). On 12/12/07, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > getDefinition > > > -- > > *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.c

The first error says you need the TestSprite class to be defined like: public class TestSprite extends Sprite The second error I initially thought was because the application addChild takes a UICompoent, but according to the help docs what you have 'should' work. I would try casting it as a Displa
