Re: [Flashcoders] what are differences between Flash5 and FlashMX?

[Cedric Muller]

clever notes and list :)
thanks Jesse

Well, I'll probably skip 10 billion details including IDE features,  
but here

goes my 2 minute stint on the good stuff:

Flash Player 5
---
- introduced ActionScript the programming language, matching  
JavaScript

- introduced the XML object.  Slow as nuts, but she worked
- introduced the XMLSocket object... AJAX still ain't got sockets
- introduced the Object structure to the language
- prototype was born (at least, you could screw with it)
- ... and so was the rebel alliance (Class.prototype = new MovieClip 
() vs.

Class.prototype.__proto__ = MovieClip.prototype)
- attachMovie; make something from nothing vs. duplicateMovieClip;  
create a

something from something

Flash Player 6
---
- introduced object events (like onPress, onRelease, onMouseMove)
- #initclip/#endinitclip born to allow control of initialization  
order of

components
- Object.registerClass used in tandem with above led to re-usable
components, and the birth of re-usable Flash widgets (SmartClips  
existed in

Flash 5 but didn't take off like they did in 6)
- TextFields became a class, and you could create them dynamically
- non-progressive JPG's could be loaded dynamically
- mp3's could be loaded dynamically
- you could draw vectors via the drawing API
- you could play real-time streaming video & audio, as well as  
broadcast

video & audio from your webcam and microphone
- Local Shared Objects (aka Flash cookies)
- Remote Shared Objects
- mask device text at 6.0.41.0
- bytecode optimizations at 6.0.65.0
- remote EXE installation into secure sandbox at 6.0.65.0 via  
System.Product
from https://www.macromedia.com.  Currently only 3 exist (Flash  
Player 8,

Breeze Player, Central)
- helpful methods added to the ActionScript language
- zLib compression
- infamous settings panel
- faster XML parsing

Flash Player 7
---
- ActionScript 2 - ECMA 2-3 'ish.  We now have a class based  
language.  Cool

thing is, it still allows you to compile to Flash Player 6 since
ActionScript 2 creates ActionScript 1 bytecode.
- middle-mouse scrolling
- TextSnapshot added so FlashPaper could be made
- dynamic loading of FLV's (don't need Flash Communication Server)
- MovieClip context menu
- a few helpful methods added to AS2
- faster XML parsing

Flash Player 8
---
- effects - Blur, DropShadow, etc. all built into the player
- Bitmap drawing features with API's for AS2
- hardware accelerated Mac Player
- load any JPG, GIF, and PNG dynamically
- new garbage collector
- sub-movie clip context menus
- a few helpful methods added to AS2
- the f'ing annoying local & remote security (but needed to quite the
h8ters)
- File Upload
- other various blitting operations (cacheAsBitmap, scrollRect, etc)
- faster XML parsing because of player code optimizations


Flash Player 8.5 (as of beta 1)
- ActionScript 3 - ECMA 4 compliant, not backwards compatible.  JIT  
compiler

goes to machine code, and is a true class based language
- runtime exceptions
- read-only prototype
- traits helpful in speeding up inheritance lookups
- additional datatypes like int, uint, and *
- EventDispatcher built-in (biggest bottleneck in pre-8.5 projects)
- binary Sockets
- E4X - ecma for xml
- a new Sprite; like a MovieClip, but without the frames
- DisplayList - visual objects are no longer required to use factory
functions.  attachMovie("SymbolName", "name", depth) becomes var  
a:MovieClip

= new MovieClip(); addChild(a);
- ActionScript language cleaned up
- faster XML parsing (still faster than E4X, suckaz!)

There are tons of other things, but that's the good stuff.

[Flashcoders] passing variables to a popup using javascript instead of php/asp

[Kalle Thyselius, Inlovewith]

hi,

just found a way to send variables to a pop up (or similar) without
having to use a server side language like php or asp.

it's a java script property called document.location.search and is
"The sub string that follows the question mark is the query string or
form data."


example:

example getURL in the mother swf:

getURL('javascript:OpenWin("popup.html?someVar=' + someVar + ', 700, 400");')

and the code inside popup.html

var fo = new FlashObject("main.swf" + document.location.search,
"fotester", "700", "400", "7");

as i have been using php like a sucker all these years, this can make
it simpler for me to work. perhaps it can help someone else.

[Flashcoders] adding button handlers extending movieclip

[Jiri Heitlager]

He,

I have a question, wich is probably very simple.
In a class I am looping through an array to make buttons;

for (var i : Number = 0 ; i < buttonList.length ; i ++)
{
var btn = makeButton (listholder_mc , 0 , 0 , "labelTXT" );
btn._y = 1 + (prevBtn._y + prevBtn._height);
btn.onPress = Delegate.create (this, _onPress)
btn.onRollOver = Delegate.create (this, _onRollOver)
var prevBtn = btn;
}

As you can see I am assigning button handlers by using Delegate and 
pointing to a method of the class.
My question is, is it possible to it by letting this class extend the 
MovieCLip class. And how would i do this.

Or is this the "normal" way to do it?

[Flashcoders] Dynamic width of image...

[MJorge]

Hello,

I am loading dynamically some images to a emptyClip. The images have
different width anh height values each one. What i wanted is that my Clip
(or image after loading) had a maximum width of 163

I am using this code at my Clip but it´s not working correctly. Can anyone
help?

onClipEvent (data) {
maxWidth = 163;
if (this._width > maxWidth)
{
scaleFactor = maxWidth / this._width;
this._width = Math.floor (this._width * scaleFactor);
this._height = Math.floor (this._height * scaleFactor);
}
}

Thanks.

_xscale and _yscale should be your friends.
Your approach is good btw.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic width of image...

[MJorge]

I know that my approach is working, the prob is that i have a button to load
another image to the clip. That´s when all the problems come...

The width value is not respected anymore. That´s my prob.

And if you rescale the emptyclip back  to 100% before loading another

Hello,

I create dynamic textfield with functions and I try to field them without

dtd = "var"+dt;
trace (dtd);
trace (dt);
_root.createTextField (dtd, dt, 50+dt, 50+dt, 200, 100);

Re: [Flashcoders] >>

[Julien Vignali]

2 things:
- your for loop is erroneous... your "dt" variable isn't used as 
expected (increment it in the for statement) and your "i" variable is 
unused and shouldn't be here ;-).
- you should prefix all your textfields with _root as they are created 
on _root level.


Change your code as below, and you'll see plenty of textfields :)

for (var dt:Number = 0; dt <= 70; dt++) {
 dtd = "var"+dt;
 trace (dtd);
 trace (dt);
 _root.createTextField (dtd, dt, 50+dt, 50+dt, 200, 100);
 _root[dtd].text="dr";
 _root[dtd].border = true;
 _root[dtd].background = true;
}

yes. in fact, i have quite a few suggestions -- sorry if they sound a
bit harsh, that's not my intention, they might help you get answers to
future problems, and apply to some others as well:

-- consider posting to the newbies list:
http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashnewbie

-- use a subject line that is more descriptive than ">>". at most, i
would have expected this to relate to the bitwise rightshift operator.

-- be more descriptive. "without success" means what exactly? you see
nothing at all, the text doesn't show but the borders do, or what
exactly?
you already have traces in your code. what do they trace? when you
post here you probably have tried to solve the problem yourself
already, so why not tell others what potential causes you have
excluded so they don't have to go through the same again? you know
what "dt" and "dtd" are, i know it because i read to the
createTextField line, but normally i wouldn't bother. it takes only a
few seconds to change the variable names to something meaningful,
instead everybody who reads it has to figure out what they are by
oneself.
in what scope is the code? you talk about creating textfields with a
function, is this in a function?
what are you trying to do? it looks like you're trying to create a
textfield with 70px thick top and left borders.

-- you can replace the "i" in "i++" with "dt" and remove the last line
of your code.

-- you declare var dt:Number twice. remove the first one.

-- instead of "dtd.text" etc, use _root[ dtd ] to make it work.

again, sorry if this sounds too harsh, it just needs to be said once
in a while, and really is more of a general hint to many than directed
only at you. i often don't even look at the code if i don't know what
i'm looking for, yours just happened to be pretty short. you know what
it's supposed to do, what does/doesn't happen, and what causes you
already have excluded. we don't, and can't figure it out as easily as
you could provide us with that information. if your code would have
been only slightly longer i'd have simply closed your mail and moved
on, you and others really miss lots of good advice or solutions that
way. not because nobody knows, but because they don't look at the code
without knowing what to look for.

hth,

Re: [Flashcoders] hiding datagrid columns?

[Nathan Derksen]

Use removeColumnAt() and addColumn()/addColumnAt()

var dataArray:Array = new Array();
dataArray.push({foo:"1", bar:"2", baz:"3"});
dataArray.push({foo:"1", bar:"2", baz:"3"});
dataArray.push({foo:"1", bar:"2", baz:"3"});
dataArray.push({foo:"1", bar:"2", baz:"3"});
dataArray.push({foo:"1", bar:"2", baz:"3"});
dataArray.push({foo:"1", bar:"2", baz:"3"});
dataArray.push({foo:"1", bar:"2", baz:"3"});
dataArray.push({foo:"1", bar:"2", baz:"3"});
dataArray.push({foo:"1", bar:"2", baz:"3"});

myDG.dataProvider = dataArray;

myDG.removeColumnAt(2);
// Later call the following to get the column back:
myDG.addColumnAt(2, "baz");

Note that the third column of data is not removed from the data  
provider when you call removeColumnAt(2), it just removes the visual  
representation of the data.

[Flashcoders] Can you extend the _y and _height setters of a movie clip?

[David Lochhead]

Hi,

I've got a movieclip that can have it's _y and _height properties
altered by various scripts. Is there a way I can extend the movieclip
class so that the setter for these properties can be extended so I can
act when the clip gets updated?

Any advice appreciated.

[Flashcoders] Loader content is shifted down on reload or resize

[Judah]

I'm using a loader component to load in an image. When I try to load
additional images into the loader (replacing the original) the new images
are moved farther and farther down the y axis. Is this a bug? Is there a
work around? 

 

Note: I have scaleContent set to true and I resize the loader after it is
uploaded. This is when the content (image) is shifted around.

[Flashcoders] What is profile?

[Morten Barklund TBWA\\Play]

Hi all,

One for the detectives in y'all:


Background
--

I have an object, that I ought to fetch via a singleton and save as a 
local variable or member of my classes, but sometimes forget to declare. 
Thus sometimes I reference a member or a variable of a class, that 
hasn't been defined.


The compiler doesn't complain about this certain variable, which is 
quite annyoing as I thus doesn't know, that it is undefined.



Proof
-

I have very easily boiled it down to:

class Test {
function Test()  {
trace("prof is "+profile);
}
}

No compiler-error. Change profile to any other (non-existing) variable 
and the compiler throws an error.


And of course, the trace is undefined - profile isn't a member, but why 
does the compiler handle this member-name in some special way? It looks 
 like some nasty hack made by some developer, who forgot to remove it :)


I do hope, that you are all able to reproduce. It have confirmed it at 
multiple computers using Win XP Pro and Flash 8.



Question


My question is as simple as: What is profile?

I've tried "extending" the enabled-property without luck. super.enabled

I do hope someone can give other advice, but until then, I believe it is

One important thing you missed is JSFL: the ability to automate processes

RE: [Flashcoders] Can you extend the _y and _height setters of amovie clip?

You could try watching _y and _height with Object.watch(), and adding the extra 
code in the observing functions.

Have you tried using Object.watch?

It certainly works for me with .enabled - might work with _x and _y, haven't
tried it.

[Flashcoders] video weirdness

[quinrou .]

Hi all,

I have the most weird bug ever happening with streaming flvs... I would
appreciate any help that any could give me.

I have a thumbnail which by clicking launches video. the video holder in is
wihtin a mc which gets attached to the screen when one of the thumb images
is clicked. Everything works fine until you start moving the mouse and
rolling out the thumb image that was clicked. Doing so stops the movie
playing for no apparent reason... The video Doesn't trigger any events when
this happens like stop ,  play , flsuh... it just stops.
I tried to loose the rollover and rollout on the thumb images and that
solved the problem but i need to have these 2 events.
What I don't get is that the thumbs and the video are not in the same scope
as they have their movieclips "container" assigned at the start.
Would this come from my delegate class which could sort of interfer... As I
am using delegate for the button event and as well as for the video
onstatus...
I really don't see why this is happening... Anyone help...

thanks
Seb

RE: [Flashcoders] Dynamic width of image...

[Ryan Potter]

You could use a movie clip loader too.

Code below:


init();

function init(){
trace("code init");

this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.imageLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
this.imageLoader.addListener(this);

loadImg("MyImageName.jpg");
}


function loadImg(src:String):Void{
this.imageLoader.loadClip(src, this.holder);
}


function onLoadStart(target:MovieClip){
target._xscale = target._yscale = 50;
}

function onLoadInit(target:MovieClip){
var maxWidth = 163;
if (this._width > maxWidth)
{
scaleFactor = maxWidth / target._width;
trace("Scale Factor : "+scaleFactor);
this._xscale = Math.floor (100 * scaleFactor);
this._yscale = Math.floor (100 * scaleFactor);
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Can you extend the _y and _height setters of amovie clip?

[Tyler Wright]

No, there is no way to do this by extending the MovieClip class.
Unfortunately the _x and _y are unique beasts, along with all the other
MovieClip properties from the Flash 4 days (such as enabled). You can't
watch them, create getters/setters for them, or even over-ride them. You
have to have a getter/setter x and y and inside those set the _x and _y.

If you're feeling creative and absolutely have to have _x and _y as the
properties to watch, then you're class can't be attached to the actual
sprite. You'd have to have a real sprite-based MovieClip referenced inside
the class that you manipulate. I know that probably doesn't make sense, and
it's a programming project you don't want to undertake, with a lot of
potential for problems and failure (I know). You'll have to use the x and y,
which always looks better anyway.

Re: [Flashcoders] Can you extend the _y and _height setters of amovie clip?

[Ian Thomas]

Um - Tyler - as I said in an earlier post, Object.watch _does_ work with
.enabled. Definitely. I use it all the time. MX2004.

So it might be worth trying with _x and _y, too...

RE: [Flashcoders] Can you extend the _y and _height setters of amovieclip?

Yup. V2 components actually make use of watching enabled too.

I just tested watching _y and _height, and you're right, it doesn't work.

You can ask questions here, several people on the list are pretty
experienced.  Are you wanting to do some advanced searching type things

the subject with some examples of using it - check the archives.  

There are also a few things on the web if you use Google:

Re: [Flashcoders] Extract actionscript from .FLA?

You could use some JSFL to loop through the entire FLA for any 
actionscript.  It could pull it all out and either display it (trace

[Flashcoders] 1 pixel border issue (not quite an AS issue, slightly OT)

[Mendelsohn, Michael]

Hi list...

My bitmaps aren't rendering properly on the stage.  I made a series of
bmps in Photoshop, all with a 1 pixel white border.  They are put on the
stage at integer locations, i.e. _x = 358.0.

The swf is then brought into Director and stretched to fill the screen.
Often, I am seeing that one or two sides of the 1 pixel border is gone,
similar to the bitmap 1 pixel stretching issue in the Flash player.
Setting my resolution to different settings wipes out varying sides of
the 1 pixel border.  Anyone know how to solve this so that all four
sides of the border are rendered consistently?

Thanks,
- Michael M.

[Flashcoders] HTTP vs HTTPS Strange Behaviour

[Jordan Snyder]

Hello,

I recently built a Flash movie that consumes XML data from a PHP script and
builds a screen of logos that are clickable.  The click URL is included in
the XML that I'm consuming.

When I launched the file into live mode, it was on an HTTP-only website.
Since then, the site has moved to an HTTPS-only site.  It broke immediately,
and I knew why, as I've dealt with those issues before.  I fixed the issues
and got the XML data to come in again, and the logos load just fine, except
now I can't click the logos to visit the URL associated with the logo.  I
trace the URL and see that it's definitely getting the XML data and setting
up the "hit area" movieclip just finebut no clicky clicky!  ( I don't
even get a hand cursorIE and Firefox don't recognize that there's a
clickable link there... )

This seems quite bizarre to me, and I can't figure out what could possibly
be going on.  Anyone else ever deal with something like this?  I'm just
fishing for anything; this seems almost too obscure to have previously
existed in the wild. :)  The wild jungles known as the Flash Player.

ANY ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Re: [Flashcoders] video weirdness

[quinrou .]

John,

The streaming stops when the onRollOut event is invoked which happens when I
rollout of the thumbnail images.
When I noticed that i tried to desable the onRollOut event that i had on the
thumbnail images to see if the same thing was happening with the onRollOver
event.
And yes the same thing is happening... when I rollover a new thumbnail image
the movie stops streaming... Arrrgh... I don't get it

there's nothing in the onRollOut or onRollOver event that trigger anything
on the video. the only thing that they both have in commun is the use of the
delegate class... But I am pretty sure that's not it as I have been using
this class in many project and it always did what it had to do wihtout
messing stuff..

HELP...!

[Flashcoders] FLVPlayback - ClearOverAll.swf

[Corban Baxter]

Hey guys I am working with the flash video playback component in flash 8 for 
the first time today and I am having some problems getting the controls to show 
up on line. Everything works fine locally but when I upload it to a server the 
controls will never show up online. It's like the swf won't load in. One thing 
I am doing this on a cold fusion site that uses the old include method. Which 
always throws off the loading of things on a directory structure? So I put the 
ClearOverAll.swf in the two locations that would make sense. Does anyone know 
how that component loads into my file or what is causing this?

Move it into the top left quadrant, so that the x,y values are negative.

Hi
Just wondering if there was a consensus on which use of getter/setters is used

traditional getter/setters  ie 
public function get Size():Number{}

or accessor methods 
public function getSize():Number{}

Which do you prefer and why...?

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:getter setters vs accessor methods

[JesterXL]

getSize/setSize because setSize can return a value when setting a property 
whereas a getter/setter cannot.

However, getter/setters are perfect for binding in Flex whereas you cannot 
bind to methods.  Additionally, getter/setters make it easier to refactor a 
property later on in development when everyone sets it.  This way, you can 
still trigger stuff without changing all of the other classes that have 
already used it.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Q:getter setters vs accessor methods


Hi
Just wondering if there was a consensus on which use of getter/setters is 
used most often

traditional getter/setters  ie
public function get Size():Number{}

or accessor methods
public function getSize():Number{}

Which do you prefer and why...?

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:getter setters vs accessor methods

[Mike Britton]

I use get someSuch():

1. When I'm making components in the v2 framework and I want to make vars
show up in the IDE (using metadata)
2. When I know I'll need to access a public property and don't want to call
a method explicitly every time

I use getSomeSuch() for:

1. Private members
2. Event handling
3. When no setter is needed

Just off the top of my head.  You could use get someSuch() for everything.
It's just a matter of style I guess.

Re: Re[2]: [Flashcoders] Q:getter setters vs accessor methods

[JesterXL]

Sometimes it's appropriate, sure.  That is a lot of overhead, though, 
ecspecially for setters.

size = 2 does:
- setter runs
- getter runs for setter
- getter runs getSize function
- getSize function gets value, returns it
- getter returns value for setter
- setter changes value

...that's a lot to add to the stack just to set a number.  However, in some 
cases, this is a great setup since the inner workings are hidden, and you 
have flexibility in how you expose properties.

[Flashcoders] No cue points in On2 pro?

[Troy Rollins]

I've got an application which depends on embedded cue points in FLV  
files. Apparently there are no tools which provide this functionality  
and can encode 2-pass On2 VP6 pro. Seems only the IDE's importer, and  
the Flash video encoder can embed cue points, neither of which  
support the upgraded codec.


Flix pro doesn't support cue points, neither does Squeeze.

Anyone seen anything different, or a different way to have both cue  
points and two-pass Flash 8 video?

[Flashcoders] Flex 2.0 and flash remoting

[Robin Burrer]

Hi there,

Dose anyone know in how far the current version of flash remoting for
.net is supported in Flex 2.0? I know that the coldfusion version of
flash remoting is integrated in the Flex 2.0 framework. 

I'm just wondering if it makes sense to purchase flash remoting for .net
now or if I should wait until the release of Flex 2.0 and/or an update
for remoring for .net. 

Dose anyone know if Adobe plans to support flash remoting in the future
or if they will focus on other technologies?

[Flashcoders] Q: Speeding up compile and /or launch with many objects

[bitstreams]

Hi
I have a simple 'grid class
which creates a grid composed of 'cells'

A 'cell' class extends a 'square' class which in turn extends a 'rectangle' 
class which extends a 'shape' class. Lots of extending goin on:)

The 'grid' class references the cells thru composition.

It works fine but I run into a bottleneck if I creat a grid with more than 
20-30 columns.

Not only is there a noticeable delay when I compile in the authoring 
environment, but even AFTER compiling, if I launch the swf, there is a 
noticeable delay (several seconds) before the swf even displays.

Is this latter delay solely due to the time for attachmovie and /or use of the 
drawing api (I've used both methods to draw the individual 'cells', attachmovie 
seems faster but there is still a delay.



Can anyone suggest speed improvements?
Thanks

Thanks for the link. It appears that tool accepts pre-encoded FLVs  
and injects metadata and cue points. Windows-only is a bit of a pain  
for our production workflow since we encode on Mac, and I'd really  
like to encode the cue points at the same time as encoding, but it  
may be a solution if push comes to shove.

> Can anyone suggest speed improvements?

to speed up compile time, use mtasc (), the
second possibly is your initialization, i.e. building the interface or
whatever. you can measure it by putting it all in a function, and do
something like this:

var start:Number = _global.getTimer();
init();
trace( "initialization took " + Math.round( ( _global.getTimer - start
) / 1000 ) + "s." );

Not sure about .NET, but I know AMFPHP works with AMF0 & Flex 2.  Since the 
version is now AMF3, yeah, Adobe supports remoting, and it already works 
with ColdFusion, so hopefully Java & .NET will follow suit; I'm sure AMFPHP

Yes, I suppose that would be true for many, as you would like to have

Re: [Flashcoders] Outsourcing

[JesterXL]

I'm assuming the USA is a developed country.

Yes.  Tons of work is outsourced; it's the same with manufacturing; if the 
same job can be done cheaper in the long run, outsourcing is a good idea. 
There is a high demand for Flash, yes, but a higher demand for Flex is on 
the horizon, mainly because bigger projects are typically done with Flex, 
and as such, companies are needed to take responsibility with those projects 
vs. individuals.

Additionally, there are a ton of companies right now that have no clue what 
the difference between a prototype and a product is, so, even if you know 
just AS1 and Flash 6, you can still make bling producing prototypes that 
really don't function nor are coded with future modications in mind.  A lot 
of people see a prototype as "80%" done not realizing.  Same goes for design 
work and interface prototyping as well.

I'd say the future is bright for outsourcing Flex & AJAX.

[Flashcoders] components and library assets

[Paul Ingalls]

Question:

 

I have created a component swc that includes code that references an asset
in the library.  I have insured the symbol is exported in the first frame,
and after cracking open the swf in the swc, I'm fairly confident that the
asset has been included.  The problem I am having is when the component is
used within another fla.  The swf file that is published from this fla does
not appear to include the asset used by the component, and so when
attachMovie is called, it returns undefined.  The component in the library
of the fla that uses it exports the component in the first frame.  Is there
something else I need to do to insure that the asset makes it to the swf
generated from the fla using the swc?  I feel like I am missing something
obvious.

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

Re: [Flashcoders] components and library assets

[JesterXL]

Just to be paranoidly-sure:
- make another layer in your component
- make another frame, 2, in your component
- put the asset on that frame
- put a stop action on a new layer, thus ensuring the component never 
reaches that frame

Now, if you use the component, you'll get the asset for sure.

Subject: [Flashcoders] components and library assets


Question:



I have created a component swc that includes code that references an asset
in the library.  I have insured the symbol is exported in the first frame,
and after cracking open the swf in the swc, I'm fairly confident that the
asset has been included.  The problem I am having is when the component is
used within another fla.  The swf file that is published from this fla does
not appear to include the asset used by the component, and so when
attachMovie is called, it returns undefined.  The component in the library
of the fla that uses it exports the component in the first frame.  Is there
something else I need to do to insure that the asset makes it to the swf
generated from the fla using the swc?  I feel like I am missing something
obvious.



Thanks,



Paul

RE: [Flashcoders] No cue points in On2 pro?

[Newmediasoup - engaging multimedia]

With Sorenson Squeeze 4.3 and the addition of the On2VP6 Pro Plugin, you
should be able to get 2 pass vbr and cue points. Check out the specs here:
http://www.sorensonmedia.com/solutions/prod/vp6_win.php 

The only downside is if you don't own Sorenson squeeze, it's gonna cost ya
about $450 for the compression suite, and then you'll have to pay about $150
to get the On2VP6 Pro plugin.

Hope this helps... Or am I missing something?

Thanks for the link. It appears that tool accepts pre-encoded FLVs  
and injects metadata and cue points. Windows-only is a bit of a pain  
for our production workflow since we encode on Mac, and I'd really  
like to encode the cue points at the same time as encoding, but it  
may be a solution if push comes to shove.

Aha. That did help. Yes, I have Squeeze... I hadn't realized they  
supported cue points at all. They cleverly hid that function behind  
their "clever" interface. But it is now revealed.  ;-)


Thanks Joel, I think I'll try that route.

Re: Re[4]: [Flashcoders] Q:getter setters vs accessor methods

[Nathan Derksen]

The line in the constructor:

this._size = 2;

is calling the setter. Maybe you meant to call this.__size = 2;  
Setters will trigger regardless of whether the property is set by  
code within the class itself or from external code.

Sorry, ignore me, I misread the question. setter != getter

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:getter setters vs accessor methods

[Fumio Nonaka]

Right.  And in simple assignment, getter's returned value is returned as 
the assignment formula's value.  According to ECMA-262 (11.13.1), the 
formula's value should be its lefthand expression.


var _mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("my_mc", 1);
var a:Number = _mc._rotation=270;
trace([a, _mc._rotation]);  // Output: 270,-90 // Good
var o:MyRotation = new MyRotation();
var b:Number = o.rotation=-90;
trace([b, o.rotation]);  // Output: 270,270 // Bad

// ActionScript 2.0 class definition for Testing
class MyRotation {
var _rotation:Number = 0;
// gets the value between 0 and 360
function get rotation():Number {
trace(["get", _rotation]);
return (_rotation%360+360)%360;
}
// sets the value between -180 and 180
function set rotation(n:Number):Void {
_rotation = (n%360+540)%360-180;
trace(["set", _rotation]);
}
}

Sorry.  The formula's value should be its assignment expression, i.e. 
righthand side expression.
