Re: [Flashcoders] How does YouTube convert all video formats to Flash format?
My guess would be ffmpeg on the server. Take a look here: http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ I've certainly used it successfully for exactly that purpose. It doesn't yet support the newer Flash 8 video codecs, but will quite happily create MX2004 compatible video (which can, of course, be used in player versions 7+).

RE: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
I concur. You just can't have two mcs on the same depth in Flash.
When you use a repeat loop similar to my code, don't forget to switch the
shape flag on (see code). This way you'll avoid hitting on empty bits in the
rect (that's why I was using circles to test my theory - the bounding rect
wasn't hit, just the circles themselves). Then, the _very first time_ you
get a hit, you know that you're at the highest depth. Stop the loop and
recurse into the clip to check for children. The _fist time_ you get a hit
there, stop and check for children again, etc.
The first clip to score a hit, which doesn't have any more children that
also score a hit, is your dear uncle bob.

The only case in which depth would be identical for two
movieclips is if they both were contained in different parent
movieclips.
In that case, check the parent's depth, and use that to
resolve the conflict. If both of those are the same, continue
going up until the conflict is resolved.

It looks like you spent some time on this response, I really
appreciate that. As I mentioned in my first mail, depth,
_visible and
_alpha are the properties I'm checking right now to resolve
conflicts.
So my code looks very similar to your code below.
This works
sometimes, but I've run into cases where there are 2 movieclips for
which hitTest() is true, _visible is true, _alpha is 100, and the
depths are identical. One of the movieclips is obscured behind the
other; there must be some way to distinguish them.
Are there any
other properties on movieclips (maybe hidden ones) that might be of
use? The Flash runtime must be doing this internally for
onRollOver
event firing; anyone know how this works?

Ok, I see your problem, so lets think what else
you can do with the hitTest
approach...
First of all, you can set the shape flag to true,
so that the hit test will
only return true if there's something there (as
opposed to the entire
bounding rect).
Then you can test for _alpha (you might want to
test for _visible also),
thus eliminating invisible buttons, such as your
big rectangle that obscures
the rest.
Finally, checking for different depths - I
recently discovered that if you
loop through a clip, it starts at the highest
depth, even on the same layer:
for (var i in _root) {
trace(i + +_root[i].getDepth());
}
$version
clip3 -16379
clip2 -16381
clip1 -16383
So now you know which one has the highest depth:
clip3, which also comes
first in the loop.
At this point, you can break the loop. If you need
to go deeper, you can
then recurse within that clip, and see if it has
any child mcs, which one of
those scores the highest hitTest and if that one
has any children - etc.
Here's some quickdirty code:
for (var i in _root) {
trace(i + +_root[i].getDepth());
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
for (var i in this) {
var clip = this[i];
if (!(clip instanceof MovieClip))
{
continue;
}
if (clip._alpha == 0 ||
clip._visible == 0) {
continue;
}
if (clip.hitTest(_root._xmouse,
_root._ymouse, true)) {
trace(clip);
break;
}
}
};
On the timeline, I placed three circular clips
overlapping eachother, so
that clip1 is at the lowest depth and clip3 at the
highest. I made clip3
invisible by setting it's alpha to 0.
After moving my mouse over the clips, starting
from the third, the trace
result was:
$version
clip3 -16379
clip2 -16381
clip1 -16383
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip1
_level0.clip1
_level0.clip1
Each time the trace picked out the highest visible
part of a clip, thus
resolving any conflicts.
Hope this helps to point you in the right
direction.

[Flashcoders] Restricting an Input Field to Visible Area
Hi, I've got an input field that I want to restrict users to only being able to post as much as will fit into the field without scrolling (approx. 500 chars). I can set the field to a max. chars of 500, but this doesn't take into account line breaks, which allow the user to write much less than 500 chars, but still extend past the visible box. Is there an easy way I can restrict this to the visible box area, or is it a case of parsing the content with a function on each keypress to calculate the limit? I'm worried I will launch into something complicated and time-consuming, while overlooking a simpler technique.

You could open it up with a hex editor and poke at it if you really knew what you were doing. Otherwise, your best bet is to edit the FLA and republish.

Try this

}
}
textField.onScroller = function() {
while (this.maxscroll1) {

where textField is the name of your input field. You need to trap
both scroller and

It looks like you spent some time on this response, I really
appreciate that. As I mentioned in my first mail, depth, _visible and
_alpha are the properties I'm checking right now to resolve conflicts.
So my code looks very similar to your code below. This works
sometimes, but I've run into cases where there are 2 movieclips for
which hitTest() is true, _visible is true, _alpha is 100, and the
depths are identical. One of the movieclips is obscured behind the
other; there must be some way to distinguish them. Are there any
other properties on movieclips (maybe hidden ones) that might be of
use? The Flash runtime must be doing this internally for onRollOver
event firing; anyone know how this works?
Thanks,
Vishal
On 2/7/07, Karina Steffens [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Ok, I see your problem, so lets think what else you can do with the
hitTest
approach...
First of all, you can set the shape flag to true, so that the hit test
will
only return true if there's something there (as opposed to the entire
bounding rect).
Then you can test for _alpha (you might want to test for _visible also),
thus eliminating invisible buttons, such as your big rectangle that
obscures
the rest.
Finally, checking for different depths - I recently discovered that if you
loop through a clip, it starts at the highest depth, even on the same
layer:
for (var i in _root) {
trace(i + +_root[i].getDepth());
}
$version
clip3 -16379
clip2 -16381
clip1 -16383
So now you know which one has the highest depth: clip3, which also comes
first in the loop.
At this point, you can break the loop. If you need to go deeper, you can
then recurse within that clip, and see if it has any child mcs, which one
of
those scores the highest hitTest and if that one has any children - etc.
Here's some quickdirty code:
for (var i in _root) {
trace(i + +_root[i].getDepth());
}
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
for (var i in this) {
var clip = this[i];
if (!(clip instanceof MovieClip)) {
continue;
}
if (clip._alpha == 0 || clip._visible == 0) {
continue;
}
if (clip.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
trace(clip);
break;
}
}
};
On the timeline, I placed three circular clips overlapping eachother, so
that clip1 is at the lowest depth and clip3 at the highest. I made clip3
invisible by setting it's alpha to 0.
After moving my mouse over the clips, starting from the third, the trace
result was:
$version
clip3 -16379
clip2 -16381
clip1 -16383
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip2
_level0.clip1
_level0.clip1
_level0.clip1
Each time the trace picked out the highest visible part of a clip, thus
resolving any conflicts.
Hope this helps to point you in the right direction.

To respond to the recent activity on this thread:
Erik, the core functionality that I need really does need to
be comprehensive and fairly generic: so, given any 3rd party
swf which I don't have a priori knowledge of, determine which
object is currently underneath the mouse. It needs to work
for any movieclip or TextField object. It's proprietary so I
can't really disclose why I need it.
You mention that implementing this would be process
intensive: this is ok to start. The way I would like to
tackle this problem is to get it working functionally, and
worry about performance later.
Karina, Jason, the approaches you are suggesting of looping
through all the movieclips and calling hitTest() on each one
is exactly what my first approach was (see my first email in
this thread). The problem is that very often multiple
movieclips will return hitTest()==true for a given mouse
position (clips at different depths, clips obscuring others,
etc). That's what I meant by 2 conflicting objects in my
first mail. I'm trying to find an algorithm to resolve conflicts.
There is another approach which Erik mentioned, which is to
define/override the onRollOver callback for every object that
I care about, and set some variable that keeps track of the
last object that
RE: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
If performance isn't an issue, you can use getDepth to figure out the top
most mc / textfield and then just act on it (place into a zorder array and
use depth for index). However, that is a more process intensive way of
emulating onRollOver. For textfield's you are correct. You can't catch
onRollOver unless it is wrapped by a movieclip; is that out of the question?

To respond to the recent activity on this thread:
Erik, the core functionality that I need really does need to be
comprehensive and fairly generic: so, given any 3rd party swf which I
don't have a priori knowledge of, determine which object is currently
underneath the mouse. It needs to work for any movieclip or TextField
object. It's proprietary so I can't really disclose why I need it.
You mention that implementing this would be process intensive: this is
ok to start. The way I would like to tackle this problem is to get it
working functionally, and worry about performance later.
Karina, Jason, the approaches you are suggesting of looping through
all the movieclips and calling hitTest() on each one is exactly what
my first approach was (see my first email in this thread). The
problem is that very often multiple movieclips will return
hitTest()==true for a given mouse position (clips at different depths,
clips obscuring others, etc). That's what I meant by 2 conflicting
objects in my first mail. I'm trying to find an algorithm to resolve
conflicts.
There is another approach which Erik mentioned, which is to
define/override the onRollOver callback for every object that I care
about, and set some variable that keeps track of the last object that
invoked onRollOver. I have tried this before, and I ditched it
because I couldn't find a way to get TextField objects to invoke an
onRollOver callback (or to otherwise respond to a 'roll over' event).
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Vishal

Alternatively, if you already know which objects should be tested, you
can
do this more efficiently by hard-coding them manually into an array and

work.
And finally, something that occurred to me while writing this post, you
could try temporarily switching off the _visible property of the
overlapping
clip just before checking for _droptarget - and then switching it on
again.
This might be the least processor-intensive way of doing this.

RE: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
For every mousemove or enterframe (however, you decide to check hittest) you
have to loop through and hittest every movieclip you want to check.
So say for example we are talking about just 10 movieclips checking using
enterframe at 30 frames per-second (assumming Flash Player is actually
running at 30fps) you're technically looping through 300 movieclips
persecond and running 300 hitTest persecond. That's a lot of processing for
just 10 movieclips. Which is why I suggest using some other method.
If you setup a test calculating FPS you'll see that hitTest / looping will
tax the processor much more then setting an onRollOver.

Re: [Flashcoders] determining which object is displayed at agivenpoint
Ok. This is what I was missing. Thanks to Karina and Erik for pointing out that you need to compare the entire parent chain of two objects to figure out which one is being rendered above the other. The only thing to add is that in addition to checking depths, the _visible property needs to be checked for the parent chain for each object (so if _visible is false anywhere in the parent chain, I consider that object to be invisible). This works in all cases except for some TextFields, where the bounding box of the textfield object is bigger than the area actually occupied by the text. This can be solved with a custom hitTest() implementation that uses Textfield.textWidth and .textHeight to get the bounding box of the displayed text. An interesting corollary is that this method would be a way to implement onRollOver for TextFields (if that ever proves useful to anyone). Steven, I'm not familiar with the class you're referring to.

Re: [Flashcoders] Need help
Hi Abhi, We have looked into PDF server and it is a nice solution for student forms, assignments, worksheets, etc - if you are willing to pay the large amount Adobe asks to buy it. Its not a trivial amount. You will definitely need to wrap your SWF into Zinc to keep or update persistent user data unless you use shared Objects to keep student state. If the student works in different locations, then the shared object is not available anymore. Authentication is also not difficult, but you have to find a suitable way to block the user from using the local content if that is what you want to achieve. We use Janison LMS and have any larger content on CDROM with the LMS menu structure duplicated on the CDROM in case they are not able to use the content online. We have some Javascript that detects if the student is currently connected to the LMS and if they are, it looks for the current CDROM path to display the larger content (Flash/Videos/etc).
