[Flashcoders] Taking a screenshot from a FLVPlayback component using AS
Hello all, I'd like to know whether it's possible to take a screenshot from a video file playing in a FLVPlayback component. Or actually, I'd like to grab the current frame when a button is clicked, to display it somewhere else. Is this possible? I searched the manual for something like FLVPlayback.getCurrentFrame() or Screen.getContents() (such a thing is possible in Director), but to no avail. Any ideas? thanks in advance! bartz ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] Date Object Problem
I think Bart's suggestion is a good one. I suspect the problem may be a local time zone offset issue. The Date object stores a date value as an integer representing the number of milliseconds since the Epoch (midnight Jan 1, 1970 UTC). If you don't use UTC dates rigorously, you leave yourself open to the vagaries of time zone offset problems. In other words, the time zone setting on your computer matters when you create a date object the way you described below. You can test this by running the following code, then running it again after adjusting the time zone setting on your computer: // results from San Francisco var checkin = new Date(2006,5,20); trace(checkin);// Tue Jun 20 00:00:00 GMT-0700 2006 trace(checkin.getTime()); // 115078680 // results when Time zone is set to London trace(checkin);// Tue Jun 20 00:00:00 GMT+0100 2006 trace(checkin.getTime()); // 115075800 Notice that you actually get different millisecond values. Also notice that the London local time version of new Date(2006,5,20) will always be interpreted as June 19 in the US because if it's midnight in London, it's always the day before here in the US. The best way to avoid this problem is to always work with UTC dates. Try the same test above, using the Date.UTC() method, and you'll find that the millisecond value is the same no matter which time zone setting you use: var checkinUTC = new Date(Date.UTC(2006,5,20)); trace(checkinUTC); // [June 20, 2006 in your local time] trace(checkinUTC.getTime()); // 115076160 Just be sure to always use the UTC versions of the Date class methods and properties, or you'll experience the same problem: trace(checkinUTC.getUTCFullYear()); // 2006 trace(checkinUTC.getUTCMonth());// 5 trace(checkinUTC.getUTCDate()); // 20 HTH, Francis -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:flashcoders- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bart Wttewaall Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 5:15 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Date Object Problem I'm not sure if it'll solve your problem, but you might want to check out Date.UTC var maryBirthday_date:Date = new Date(Date.UTC(1974, 7, 12)); trace(maryBirthday_date); I'm not sure what it does (something with universal time), since the documentation is quite cryptic, but perhaps it's related..? Good luck. 2006/5/2, Nick McNeill [EMAIL PROTECTED]: First off, long-time member of this list and have gained a wealth of knowledge from the wisdom here. Thank You All. I'm having a very confusing problem using the Date Object. I have a hotel reservation system built in flash, when an international reservation (outside of the US, mainly Europe ) comes through, the dates are off by 1 day. I cannot recreate the problem using any system setup in the US, only via a friend in London doing some testing for me. Problem: create new Date using May 20th 2006 var checkin = new Date(2006,5,20); is getting converted to May 19th if you are in Europe, fine in the US. In plain terms, someone is trying to book 5/20/06 thru 5/22/2006, but gets booked 5/19/06 thru 5/21/06 instead. This system has booked literally thousands of domestic US reservations and we've never seen this until we opened it up to international customers. Any insight to why this could be happening, or any known workarounds for a problem like this would be wonderful. I haven't tried using the timezone offset yet, any ideas if that might be a cure?

RE: [Flashcoders] Taking a screenshot from a FLVPlayback componentusing AS
Sorry, my mistake you don't actually need copyPixels if you're copying
from an MC, you can just use draw - something like this may help:
[as]
import flash.display.BitmapData;

import flash.geom.Matrix;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
//
cloneMC = function (mc, hld, xpos, ypos, lvl) {
var bitmapData_1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(mc._width,
mc._height, false, 0x);
//
var myMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
//myMatrix.scale(4,1);
var myColorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform(.8,
1.2, 0.2, 0.4, 0, 0, 0, 0)
var blendMode:String = normal;
var myRectangle:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 80);
var smooth:Boolean = true;
//
bitmapData_1.draw(mc, myMatrix, myColorTransform, blendMode,
null, smooth);
var holder:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(hld,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
holder.attachBitmap(bitmapData_1, lvl);
holder._x = xpos;
holder._y = ypos;
};
// cloneMC(test_mc, holder, 300, 200, 1);

I have the familar task so I've been using BitmapCopy class for that
purpose:

import flash.geom.Matrix;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
class com.justversus.utils.BitmapCopy extends MovieClip {
private static var instance:BitmapCopy;
private static var bmp:BitmapData;
private function BitmapCopy () {};
public static function getInstance():BitmapCopy {
if ( instance == null ) {
instance = new BitmapCopy ();
}
return instance;
}
public static function copy( source:MovieClip, target:MovieClip,
matrix:Matrix, colorTransform:ColorTransform, blendMode:Object,
clipRect:Rectangle, smooth:Boolean):Void {
if (clipRect ! = undefined ){
var w:Number = clipRect.width;
var h:Number = clipRect.height;
} else {
var w:Number = source._width;
var h:Number = source._height;
}
bmp.dispose();
bmp = new BitmapData( w, h );
bmp.draw (source, matrix, colorTransform, blendMode, clipRect,
smooth);
target.attachBitmap (bmp, target.getNextHighestDepth() );
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] destructors...
When using classes that extend from MovieClip, you can use onUnload(). I use it primairaly for removing EventListeners so I won't get stuck with duplicate eventcalls. When you want to delete a class all you really have to do is remove all instances and references from that class. I don't think there's an automated process for that since these may be scattered around in other classes all over your application, but building a destroy method (onUnload) in your classes by default seems to be a good way.. 2006/5/3, Andreas Rønning [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Kind of besides the point really.

Re: [Flashcoders] destructors...
Um - I'm not sure it is beside the point. :-) Given that you are at
the mercy of the garbage collector, implementing a function like:
class MyClass
{
function cleanup()
{
delete _someProp;
delete _someOtherProp;
}
}
is pointless anyway, because if you delete an object of MyClass (or
rather _mark_ it for deletion by calling delete() - that's all
delete() does, and only then if there are no other references to the
class) then its properties are automatically marked for deletion.
Again, unless there are any other references.
The only time I've had to worry about destructors in a
garbage-collected language (such as Flash) is when dealing with
connections to resources - for example, connections to databases, or
closing open socket streams, or releasing handles to video memory
buffers, that sort of thing.
Those sort of things should be pretty rare in Flash... which is why I
asked what you're trying to achieve, because in most cases you can
find a way around it.
If you are dealing with some sort of resource that you want to make
sure shuts down properly when no-one is referring to it, one method is
to explicitly request/release access to the resource and implement
reference counting.
For example, here's a singleton resource class:
class MyResource
{
private static var _refCount:Number=0;
private static var _instance:MyResource;
public function MyResource()
{
}
public static function getResource():MyResource
{
if (_refCount==0)
{
_instance=new MyResource();
}
_refCount++;
return _instance;
}
public static function freeResource()
{
_refCount--;
if (refCount==0)
{
_instance.doCleanup();
_instance=null; // You could do delete here if you really wanted to.
}
}
}
and then access it like so:
var res:MyResource=MyResource.getResource();
and when you're done
MyResource.freeResource();
But that's really long-winded, and breaks as soon as someone does this:
var res:MyResource=MyResource.getResource();
var res2:MyResource=res; // Took a copy
MyResource.freeResource();
res2.doSomething() // Breaks, because doCleanup() will have been called.
This sort of thing used to crop up quite a lot in C++; which is why
smart pointers and the like were invented.
I can't think of too many situations where you might need that sort of
thing in Flash; which is why I asked what you were trying to
achieve...

Kind of besides the point really. The real point is, in my humble
opinion, that it should be possible to do it without myClass.cleanup();
delete(myClass);
It becomes double naughty if your class instance is in an array.
It's just a question of keeping the amount of fluff down to a minimum.
This is not a critical problem. I am merely asking for people's
methodologies in self destroying classes.

Re: [Flashcoders] Can this be true?
If you think about how it works having a sound set to stream on the timeline so that animations can be synched tightly, you'll understand how this 'trick' works - the player needs to maintain framerate so that the audio track and graphical tracks don't lose synch and the audio streams smoothly. This is really nice hack. BTW, I assume that sound should run all time in order to skip some frames if needed.

RE: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback Component - button bar
I believe that's all handled by the UIManager (private var _uiMgr), so you're probably going to have to roll your own solution for that. The UIManager listens for the resize event of the FLVPlayback and calls the layoutSkin method when it gets one. You could override the layoutSkin method with your own logic. If you hack the FLVPlayback class and make _uiMgr public, you could then override _uiMgr.layoutSkin with your own logic. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of eric dolecki Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 11:30 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] FLVPlayback Component - button bar Im actually after the clip that holds all the buttons displayed.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Convolution filter and Zoom blur effect
On May 3, 2006, at 10:14 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi
Anyone been able to use the convolution filter to create realistic
motion blur effects?
I do not believe a convolution operation cannot perform a zoom and
spin blur alone. Those need to be performed separately on every
single pixel in an image. You can get a similar result from
transforming the bitmap using a transformation matrix that's offset
from the center of the zoom or spin, rotating or scaling the copied
bitmap and overlaying the pixels onto the original.
Motion blur can be done to an extent. The problem that you will find
is that it doesn't work for fast curved motion. Slower curved motion
it works fine.
The code below is what I posted on my now-defunct site shiftedPixels.
It's a simplified method to do motion blur by using sampled locations
and linearly interpolating filter-applied copies of the source.
A better choice would be to use a spline-based sampling system on
your object and motion blur along points of the spline using a surve
or slerp method. Of course, doing so will be much slower due to point-
on-curve routines.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:Convolution filter and Zoom blur effect
Since I didn't post a solution for zoom or spin blur, here's a method you can try out. A way to account for zoom or spin blur is to do the following: Perform a polar transform on the bitmap. Horizontal blur (or vertical blur) the transformed image Reverse polar transform Result is a spin blur (or zoom blur if vertical blur is used) The problem there is that a polar transformation on a bitmap requires a loop over every pixel. No bueno for real-time effects. cheers, Jon ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars problems
Hi Riccardo !
your cgi must return you variables in the form of:
var1=data of var1var2=data of var 2
and in flash in the onLoad method you use
my_lv.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
trace(this.var1); // this is the var name you defined in your cgi
trace(this.var2);
}
}

[Flashcoders] Newbie security issues?
Hey everyone! I'm new here so just steer me in the right direction if I get off-topic without realizing it. I'm in the middle of convincing my company that we should include some fun Flash games on our company website using art elements from some original IPs. They're concerned that Flash can be cracked too easily, putting our art elements at risk of being stolen. Anybody got some arguments I can use to back up my faith in Flash? The other concern my bosses have is that since we want to add registration to our website so that members can have access to these free games, it's important to protect our member's personal info, even if it's just a nickname and password. If the member has to sign in inside a flash game, for example, is there a risk that their information could be stolen? Speaking of which, I've heard Amayeta SWF Encrypt is good. Can anyone vouch for it or do you know if it's been cracked by anyone? You guys are the hardcore coders so I figured you could help me come up with the most compelling answers to give my bosses. I have read about security issues on the Macromedia website and relayed that information to them already but they are still indecisive about this matter.

I would also be very interested in reading about ways to protect content that is embedded in a flash movie (especially fonts). Is it possible to include art and fonts in a swf file, in a way that makes it impossible to get those objects out of the swf movie? The bottom line is, if you put it on the internet, it is possible to steal it. There is no such thing as a sure way to protect anything that is publicly available on the web. What you can do, however, is make it difficult to dissuade all but the most determined hackers. If someone is sufficiently determined and skilled, there is no security that will keep them out. But your average browser isn't going to spend the time and effort in most cases. But all it really takes to steal artwork is alt + print screen (capture window to clipboard). So the question is, how secure does it really need to be? The usual way this is done is only low-res, low-quality assets are used online, that way someone who steals it will have to work with a crappy, compressed file. Beyond that, it takes more effort to pull an image from an swf than it does to right-clck and save as, which is often enough to keep most people from stealing it. ryanm ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] Newbie security issues?
I think you are right that there is just no way to protect content in a swf file. Maybe the question to ask is, how can we go about convincing fearful IP holders to allow their IP to be embedded in the swf format. More importantly, there is no way to protect IP in any form if you put it on the web. It can all be stolen by someone who is sufficiently determined. The whole idea behind the internet is making IP available, it is fundamentally contrary to the way the internet works to try to keep people from being able to aquire copies, since copies are required to view it in the first place. So forget about keeping people from getting the images, you siply can't. If they can see it, they can steal it. However... You mentioned relying on the law, and I think that's the right angle. In general, do you really have to worry about what some script kiddies might do with your content once they've stolen it? It seems most of these kinds of concerns are just a waste of worry - it's professionals that license IP, not script kiddies that just want to make a l337 logo for their personal website. Just have a stack of cease and desist papers ready to go out when you spot an IP violation. Like you said, are you (and by you I mean your client) worried about me downloading a picture and making it my desktop or using it on a flyer for my band, or are you worried about other companies who will actually profit through the use of your IP? If you're worried about the former, you're excessively paranoid and should keep your stuff off the internet entirely. In fact, you're probably better off cancelling your ISP account alltogether, because they use it to listen to your thoughts. ;-) If you're worried about the latter, your recourse is after the fact, when you can show that their use is infringing, and your venue is through the courts. You can't stop people from stealing it, and money spent trying to stop IP theft is very often money wasted. What you *can* do is enforce your copyrights through the courts. Of course wrapping it in flash eliminates the causual save as theft, but that's about all it does as far as security is concerned. ryanm ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Or you could use one of the swf2exe applications that are already licensed to distribute the flash player (swf studio, mprojector, zinc, etc... but make sure to look into their license as well) -David R On 5/3/06, Muzak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You'll need to obtain a license first http://www.adobe.com/licensing/ http://www.adobe.com/licensing/distribution/ regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Dimitrios Bendilas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 8:28 PM Subject: [FlashCoders] Build Flash8 installer Hello all, Hope this is not very off-topic.

RE: [Flashcoders] ' and from xml weirdness
Moca, What font are you using? Is it a common font or one you might need to embed? Is your TextField set to html = true? Are you using the TextField.htmlText property? In the XML file are you using the CDATA tag in the text node? item![CDATA[This is Keith#039;s #034;favorite#034; topic.]]/item I prefer numbered entities over named entities. Numbered entities seem to enjoy more robust support in browsers. I did a quick test using #39; and #34; vs #039; and #034; -- both worked. If none of this helps then I think we will need to see a sample of your XML code (if not Flash code) to try to figure it out. -Keith http://home.mn.rr.com/keithreinfeld -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MocaLoca Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 9:41 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] ' and from xml weirdness Hello, I have saved my xml file as Unicode and UTF. I get the same results. All the characters I tried so far work just fine (TM, Latin characters, #10; for new line) no problems. But when trying to use ' or , flash displays either a square box, apos; or quot; I have tried the character itself, #34; or #39; same thing. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Re: [Flashcoders] x, y coordinates when using Mouse Listener object arenot giving correct output
Hi Jim, Thanks for looking into the problem. It certainly seems a bug to me. For all other who might have not been able to replicate this bug on their machine here are the steps you can try and then check. == 1. Left click on stage it will show x,y in trace window. 2. Without moving mouse do right click at same place. 3. Now move mouse to some other place (make sure your right click menu is showing up on stage) in the file and do left click there and and the result i got was the last x,y coordinates.which i got after doing action 1. == The environment i used is authoring environment Flash8. I am not getting this problem when i test in Firefox with player 8 or 8.5but it's there if i check in IE with flash player 8.0 8.5.
