Re: [Flashcoders] limits to AS2 levels of OOP class inheritance?

[Ron Wheeler]

You might want to post some code.
At least from the start of the class with the imports to the constructor 
and the method.

The code that calls the shows the error would help.

Hi all,

A quick OOP question... is there a limit in AS2.0 on how many levels of

My latest class is not recognizing any of the methods from it 
superclass',

even though the compiler doesn't raise any errors.

Here is the inheritance tree (I'm making a game, as you can guess):

- MovieClip (Flash built-in class)
- Sprite extends MovieClip
- Player extends Sprite
- Enemy extends Player

Sprite has a method called "render", Player has a method called "fire".
So I would expect that both render() and fire() are accessible to Enemy
without having to redeclare them (actually, render() works in Player 
without

defining it).

But nothing works in Enemy. I've tried redefining "render" and calling 
other

functions from it (in case the Enemy instance wasn't called).
And debugging I've found out that I do get to Enemy and my new render()
method, but any calls to other methods are just ignored [even using
super.method()].
Stranger still, every compiles without problems. So it seems like a 
problem

at runtime.

Has anybody seen this before, and hopefully has a way to work around it?

Thanks,
Gerard.

Re: [Flashcoders] Capturing FMS video streams from multiple cameras

[Dennis - I Sioux]

Hey Tomas,

Look at the Camera.get()..

Just like the Microphone class.. you can get a list of available devices.. 
and use the index in the list as an argument to give with the .get()


Hope this helps.

With kind regards,

Subject: [Flashcoders] Capturing FMS video streams from multiple cameras



Hello,

does anybody know if it is possible to capture and record video on Flash
Media Server from multiple cameras on one system?

Our client needs to capture one video at a time but would like to be able 
to

select which camera will capture and record the live stream to FMS.
Is Flash capable to select which camera will capture the stream?
Or is there any other solution you would choose to achieve this?

thanks in advance

Re: [Flashcoders] XML.onLoad peculiarity

[Ray Chuan]

Quote XML.onLoad docs from FMX2004:

"Event handler; invoked by Flash Player when an XML document is
received from the server. If the XML document is received
successfully, the success parameter is true. If the document was not
received, or if an error occurred in receiving the response from the
server, the success parameter is false..."

So yes i think the end of a data stream could trigger it.

Note that the scrollpane contained a textclip called answerclip. Each time
