   Yeah - I wasn't talking semantics though, I am genuinely interested in
  how
   you pull those variables out - where does the LoadVariables pull the CF
   variables from?
  
   I've used URL variables before fine - but limited as I said, due to the
  max
   length of a URL string
  
   I've used textfiles also - getting CF to create a textfile with the
   variables written into it:
  
   eg: variables.txt
   **
  
   var1 = Hello
   var2 = Cheese
   var3 = red hot poker
  
   **
  
   And Then Flash LoadVariables from variables.txt
  
   Now I *know* that this is brutish and poor. Must be. Makes me wince just
   looking at it.
  
   How specifically are you handling it? I long for a better way...

2000-08-03 Thread Sean Renet

I disagree.  Generator's main purpose was dynamic multimedia content.  Now
that you can use CF to control Flash, Generator is no longer needed.  What's
more is that you can integrate ram and swf files using smil files
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/). In such an enviroment you can use Flash as
a kind of dynamic quarterback to control Real Media files and integrate the
two simulatiously all controlled by CF (think DVD and CF is the remote
control). What this basically means, is that you can now do what non web
broadcast media cannot.  So the only time I would buy Generator is if March
15 rolled around and I needed to buy something as a tax deduction.

 Does anyone know of any good books/resources on building Flash clips?
 Are there any huge limitations to Flash integration without Generator?
 Is it worth waiting for Flash 5 to come out?

 I was privy to a conversation about flash integration without generator
 last week ands the gist of the conversation was: it's a complete pain in

 is bad bad bad. That's all I know.

  I disagree.  Generator's main purpose was dynamic multimedia content.
Now
  that you can use CF to control Flash, Generator is no longer needed.
 What's
  more is that you can integrate ram and swf files using smil files
  (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/). In such an enviroment you can use
Flash
 as
  a kind of dynamic quarterback to control Real Media files and integrate
 the
  two simulatiously all controlled by CF (think DVD and CF is the remote
  control). What this basically means, is that you can now do what non web
  broadcast media cannot.  So the only time I would buy Generator is if
 March
  15 rolled around and I needed to buy something as a tax deduction.

 Yeah - I wasn't talking semantics though, I am genuinely interested in how
 you pull those variables out - where does the LoadVariables pull the CF
 variables from?

 I've used URL variables before fine - but limited as I said, due to the
max
 length of a URL string

 I've used textfiles also - getting CF to create a textfile with the
 variables written into it:

 eg: variables.txt
 **

 var1 = Hello
 var2 = Cheese
 var3 = red hot poker

 **

 And Then Flash LoadVariables from variables.txt

 Now I *know* that this is brutish and poor. Must be. Makes me wince just
 looking at it.

 How specifically are you handling it? I long for a better way...

I didn't think a URL Encoded String had a max limitation.

I've been looking around for some evidence and not found much but chatter

*but* I have found a lot of it, and lots of people are quoting 256 (old
stuff) or 1024

eg

207

this is nowhere need the size I need so if I can post to a flash movie that
would make my day.

I actually just tested this with a large descriptive string and the result
was 1412 chars on the resulting page - the string passed was much larger
than this. Perhaps other systems react differently

Onload Variables in Flash from a CF file for months now. Works fine. Now I

I didn't think a URL Encoded String had a max limitation.

I've been looking around for some evidence and not found much but chatter

*but* I have found a lot of it, and lots of people are quoting 256 (old
stuff) or 1024

eg

207

this is nowhere need the size I need so if I can post to a flash movie that
would make my day.

I actually just tested this with a large descriptive string and the result
was 1412 chars on the resulting page - the string passed was much larger
than this. Perhaps other systems react differently

I didn't think a URL Encoded String had a max limitation. Been working with
Onload Variables in Flash from a CF file for months now. Works fine. Now I
just wish there was a way to speed
things up into the low milli-second range ;) Actually now that I think about
it I don't believe there is a limitation on the String if there is can
anyone let me know what number it is?

Thanks,

RE: Integrating with Flash

2000-08-03 Thread Jeremy Allen

Our CFUG, ACFUG for the curios,
Recently had someone present a Integrating CF with Flash.
Some of the guys from Figleaf Thanks Andy! :)

And a lot of our questions about future versions of Flash
were met with "Im not allowed to say" G Which means..
for you Flashheads some hopefully really exciting stuff
is coming. Anyhow.. If you would like to see that..
It gave you the run down on how to do so...


http://www.figleaf.com/FigLeafHome/cfug/CFUGmar00/flash4pres.zip


And its not pretty and what all you can do once in flash
will leave many people kind of feeling it is lacking.. But
There is just enought here to where you should be able to
get most any cool thing you want done :)

Schlomy made an inspiring presentation on CF integration with Macromedia
Flash. I've got a project that would definitely benefit from it. A few
questions:

Does anyone know of any good books/resources on building Flash clips?
Are there any huge limitations to Flash integration without Generator?
Is it worth waiting for Flash 5 to come out?

I was privy to a conversation about flash integration without generator
last week ands the gist of the conversation was: it's a complete pain in
the butt. Supposedly generator makes it much easier. Without generator it
is bad bad bad. That's all I know.

Now
  that you can use CF to control Flash, Generator is no longer needed.
 What's
  more is that you can integrate ram and swf files using smil files
  (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/). In such an enviroment you can use
Flash
 as
  a kind of dynamic quarterback to control Real Media files and integrate
 the
  two simulatiously all controlled by CF (think DVD and CF is the remote

  I disagree.  Generator's main purpose was dynamic multimedia content.
Now
  that you can use CF to control Flash, Generator is no longer needed.
 What's
  more is that you can integrate ram and swf files using smil files
  (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/). In such an enviroment you can use
Flash
 as
  a kind of dynamic quarterback to control Real Media files and integrate
 the
  two simulatiously all controlled by CF (think DVD and CF is the remote
  control). What this basically means, is that you can now do what non web
  broadcast media cannot.  So the only time I would buy Generator is if
 March
  15 rolled around and I needed to buy something as a tax deduction.

I'd be very interested too. We've had some problems doing similar things

  Yeah - I wasn't talking semantics though, I am genuinely interested in how
  you pull those variables out - where does the LoadVariables pull the CF
  variables from?
 
  I've used URL variables before fine - but limited as I said, due to the
 max
  length of a URL string
 
  I've used textfiles also - getting CF to create a textfile with the
  variables written into it:
 
  eg: variables.txt
  **
 
  var1 = Hello
  var2 = Cheese
  var3 = red hot poker
 
  **
 
  And Then Flash LoadVariables from variables.txt
 
  Now I *know* that this is brutish and poor. Must be. Makes me wince just
  looking at it.
 
  How specifically are you handling it? I long for a better way...

  I seldom use url variables.  I am sure that someone will respond with a

 in
  the background that does all the work and I have flash pull the variables
  from it using flash's LoadVariables command.  I suppose this is more like
 a

Special thanks goes out to Schlomy Gantz and the rest of the CFUN-2K people
on a great conference.

Schlomy made an inspiring presentation on CF integration with Macromedia
Flash. I've got a project that would definitely benefit from it. A few
questions:

Does anyone know of any good books/resources on building Flash clips?
Are there any huge limitations to Flash integration without Generator?
Is it worth waiting for Flash 5 to come out?

I was privy to a conversation about flash integration without generator 
last week ands the gist of the conversation was: it's a complete pain in 
the butt. Supposedly generator makes it much easier. Without generator it 
is bad bad bad. That's all I know.
