Hi there,

Somebody told me the other day there are tools that can convert the most
common video formats to flvs. Unfortunately I can't remeber the names of
these products.

My company wants to create a youTube like web application where the user
can upload a video which then gets converted to an flv.

Any recommendations and/or thoughts?

[Flashcoders] Image resizer that maintains ratio

[Adrian Lynch]

Any examples out there?

I've got as far as resizing a user supplied image and am about to work on
the ratio remaining fixed. Just thought I'd throw this out there as I think
it may be tricky.

[Flashcoders] Problems when loading SWF (with screens in forms format) in Flash MX 2004 Pro

[Benjamin Baudel]

Hi

I'm creating an application which use multiples modules (swf files) in 
flash mx 2004 pro.


Each module (swf) is made in Flash Pro with many forms screens (and a 
shared library with my personnals components used in screens).


The main application call a method which use the MovieClipLoader object 
and which check if all forms of the module are correctly loaded (in a 
setInterval because after the onLoadInit method all screens are not 
completely loaded, but only the first one).


When all seems ok, I create my module object with it's classes and I 
load it's model, then it's controller, then an XML language file (with 
XML.load and setInterval into), then I init each form screen into the 
module file and I load the main screen of the module.


This works well, but sometimes all the screens appears for the first to 
the last before my init functions. All is good after due to my init and 
main screen functions, but when loading I've the display of all the 
forms (like a double click on le module swf) and the error message "A 
script in the movie is causing Macromedia Flash to run slowly " due 
to the length for the display of all the screens !


I've this problem with big module which contains many forms and too when 
memory is used a lot it seems.


Someone to solve this problem ? or have the same experience ?
or solution to "rewrite" my code ?
Thanks :)

Note :
- main application 400 ko (with all classes)
- shared library (used in main application and in all modules) : 190 ko
- language file xml : 30 ko max. each
- module swf file : 80 ko max. each (components are in the shared library)
All classes are put into the main application and modules classes called 
only when module is loaded.

Hi guys,

Wagner Paula and I have worked on DM9DDB´s WebSite and we are really proud
of this job.
The navigation and design are a little bit oldskool. In fact everything on
this site was made by OOP Classes and Standard code what really makes me
happy about that.

I would like to get some comments about how is it for you guys.

Looking forward for your comments.

RE: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8

[Parvaiz Patel]

Hi Gustave,
 
Here is the answer to your query.
 
The best way for any timing related task is to use Interval.
 
Here is the syntax:
var :Number = setInterval(, );
 
function (){
 
//do your task here..
 
}
 

 
The following is the example for your inderstanding & testing.
 
 
 
this.createTextField("date_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10,
100, 22);
date_txt.autoSize = true;
date_txt.selectable = true;
 
var date_interval:Number = setInterval(updateTime, 500, date_txt);
 
function updateTime(my_txt:TextField) {
my_txt.text = new Date().toString();
trace(my_txt.text);
}
 
 
I hope, this is well enough to solve your problem.
 
Thanks & regards,
 
Parvaiz Patel.

};

[Flashcoders] Text to MP3

[iestyn lloyd]

Hey list,

Does anyone know of an easy way to convert text to mp3 on the fly?
Ideally some company would run a service with a REST interface, so I
could just send my text via a querystring, and it would send back some
XML detailing the URL of the mp3, and maybe an indication of when the
mp3 might be converted... well that's what i'd like ideally...

I guess the other possibility is finding some component to install on
my own server, but this might not be possible...

any ideas anyone?

Cheers

How are they resizing? Which bit is tricky? Maintaining an aspect ratio
isn't too hard - you're just losing a degree of freedom from the user input.

Re: [Flashcoders] FW: Image resizer that maintains ratio

[Hans Wichman]

Hi,
shouldnt be too tricky, set the actual x and y scale to the minimum of the
preferred x and y scale.

Might be wrong about this, but shouldnt it be something like:
eg:
var prefXScale:Number = //get preferred x scale eg based on x mouse
var prefYScale:Number = //get preferred y scale eg based on y mouse

var constrainedScale:Number = Math.min(prefXScale, prefYScale);

myClip._xscale = myClip._yscale = constrainedScale;

Re: [Flashcoders] Image resizer that maintains ratio

eg. if your original image size is 800x600 and you want it to be 500 x ? :

(pseudo code)

//store original sizes
originalWidth = myImage._width;
originalHeight = myImage._width;

//get the ratio
finalRatio = originalWidth/500;
myImage._width = originalWidth * finalRatio;
myImage._height = originalHeight * finalRatio;

[Flashcoders] Font variation issues in flash 8

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: attachMovie vs createClassObject

[Andy Herrman]

I think the root movie clip does extend UIObject, as createClassObject
works for me.  And the objects I'm creating aren't custom ones, but
things like mx.controls.ComboBox, so I don't have to worry about
symbol* variables.

I may have to look into UIObject a bit more.  I've been making some of
my own controls, but doing it using Composition, with the class that
handles the control creating (or being passed) an movie clip to use.
Maybe extending UIObject would make more sense.

  -Andy

On 3/24/07, Yehia Shouman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

createClassObject is defined in UIObject core object. I don't think it can
be called as a method of any movieclip. It also requires that you define

static var symbolName : String = "linkageID";
static var symbolOwner : Object = com.myclass;


and at the end of the day It calls createObject which basically uses
attachMovie passing on the symbolName. Use it if your host mc is a UIObject
(inheriting from mx.core.UIComponent or mx.core.UIObject).

I use
var myInstance:ClassType=ClassType(mc.attachMovie(ClassType.symbolName
,"instanceName",depth))

Sometimes, if there is any pending code in the draw method of the created
class instance, I wait for a frame using doLater.

I hope this helps

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld

[Rob Romanek]

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the suggestion but still no luck on my end.

It seems that on my set up I need to have a constructor named the same as  
the .as file and that constructor has to be initiated prior to any of the  
other classes being initiated. So I set up


public class MyPackage{
public function MyPackage{
}
}

and then can either do an import or set up the .as file as my document  
class and after that I can access HelloWorld or MyClass. This seems to  
follow the examples that came with the Flash 9 alpha, which all use the  
document class approach and none of the .as files has more than one class  
in them, even though you can put more than one class inside. So I'm still  
a bit flummoxed as to how the package is working for Jason and not me, ah  
well. Probably something stupid I'm doing and the light will go in a few  
days.


Just to complete this I've also tried creating a folder called MyPackage  
and putting the .as files in there and again without the constructor named  
the same as the .as file it did not work


My understanding of 'package' is that the dot path that occurs after it is  
the path to the .as file so if the MyPackage.as is sitting in the same  
directory as your .fla then I would only have 'package' at the top of the  
file, if it were in a directory called MyPackage then the syntax would be


package MyPackage

thanks for ideas,

Rob

Re: [Flashcoders] empty textfield of type "input" and embedded font

[white song]

You can put some text (for example:  type here:) and when the textfield gets
the focus you can detele the text.

Hello list,

I have a dynamic textfield like this in the constructor of a class
extending MovieClip:

createTextField("tf", getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,__width,__height);
__textField = this["tf"];
__textField.type = "input";
__textField.selectable = true;
__textField.embedFonts = true;
__textField.border = false;
__textField.background = false;
__textField.html = true;
setText(__text);

setText looks like this:

public function setText(text:String)
{
__text = text;
__textField.htmlText = ''
+(__text!=undefined?__text:'')
+'';
}

If the TextField is left empty on start, it is impossible to write to
the textfield or even to get a cursor to appear in the textfield.
If the TextField has content on start, it is possible to change the
text. It is also possible to delete all characters and enter new.
But it is not possible to click behind the last character and type
something behind on start. After marking the whole text, this is
possible.

Is this a focus problem? I really searched for this problem this list
as well as many forums, but could not find a real solution. I could
switch back to using html=false and using TextFormat, but I would
really like to use htmlText.

Every suggestion is welcome.

that IS weird, because if your image is 800x600, you are saying:
  target_mc._xscale = target_mc._yscale = 800;

which is probably not what you want^^

RE: [Flashcoders] Image resizer that maintains ratio

[Adrian Lynch]

Yup, sorry for being vague.

It's the maintaining of the ratio while the user resizes that I'm after.

A user uploads an image, I load this image into a container and force it to
fit into a maximum and minimum width and height. Within this container the
user can resize the image without expanding out of the container and all the
time maintaining the original ratio.

The resizing will be done by dragging an anchor point like this:

http://www.adrianlynch.co.uk/temp/resizer.gif

I have it working but it allows the image to be resized anyway the user
chooses. I also need to make the anchor stick to the bottom right hand
corner of the image.

I think I will work this out eventually but I wanted to see if there was
anything out there already that I could glean some ideas from.

Thanks.

Adrian

How are they resizing? Which bit is tricky? Maintaining an aspect ratio
isn't too hard - you're just losing a degree of freedom from the user input.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: attachMovie vs createClassObject

[Arul Prasad M L]

createClassObject and createObject (and a few more) methods are defined in
the mx.core.ext.UIObjectExtensions class, and are added to MovieClip's
prototype when UIObjectExtensions gets 'initialized'. This happens, if you
have a UIComponent in your library. So createClassObject  method will work,
ONLY if you got a UIComponent based on macromedia's V2 architecture in your
library.

createClassObject essentially boils down to a attachMovie internall. I think
the createClassObject ( and subsequently createObject) implement a
'enhanced' depthTable,  which basically helps the components like ComboBox
work properly.

Its bedtime for me ( its singapore standard time here!), (and thanks to the
beer :P ), so I can't write any more. Hope all the above info helps you.

regards,
Arul Prasad.

I think the root movie clip does extend UIObject, as createClassObject

I may have to look into UIObject a bit more.  I've been making some of
my own controls, but doing it using Composition, with the class that
handles the control creating (or being passed) an movie clip to use.
Maybe extending UIObject would make more sense.

[Flashcoders] Design Work in London, UK

[Trevor Burton]

Hi List,

 

This is OT, I know, but I know a lot of flashers come from a design
background... so here goes.

 

VirtueFusion (www.virtuefusion.com  ) are
looking to hire good designers to work on a range of online gambling
games. Currently our main product is Bingo - we produce Bingo apps for
just about everyone - William Hill, Ladbrokes, Mecca etc. etc. But we
also produce a range of other games and you'd be invited to come up with
new concepts for games, new takes on old games, all ideas are welcome,
the management are very open to new ideas, if it sounds good they'll
give it a go and if it works you'll be rewarded!

 

Location: Covent Garden, London, UK

 

Skills: Proficiency in the usual stuff, Photoshop, Illustrator etc.etc. 

 

Experience: Not nearly as important as a good eye for detail, design
talent and a willingness to learn all the secrets of the online gambling
industry!

 

Salary: Negotiable - depends on experience and how impressive you are at
interview (this is not a lie to make it sound more impressive - I know
this from personal experience!)

 

If anyone's interested they can drop me a line offlist and I'll be happy
to give you any more details or anything you need. They're a great firm
to work for - you'll be working with my flash team and if you want to
pick up some serious actionscript knowledge at the same time then
there's all the more reason to hire you! They're really looking for
full-timers but get in touch anyway even if you're looking for something
contract/temporary.

My scaleToFit function. Probably not the most awesome thing, but it does 
the job


private function 
scaleToFit(target:Object,clipRect:Rectangle,maintainAspect:Boolean){

   var w:Number = clipRect.width;
   var h:Number = clipRect.height;
   var ratio:Number;
   var scalew:Number;
   var scaleh:Number;
   if(target._width>w||target._height>h){
   if(maintainAspect){
   //height
   ratio = target._width/target._height;
   scalew = w;
   scaleh = scalew/ratio;
   if(scaleh>h){
   //width
   ratio = target._height/target._width;
   scaleh = h;
   scalew = scaleh/ratio;
   }
   }else{
   scalew = w;
   scaleh = h;
   }
   target._width = scalew;
   target._height = scaleh;
   }
   }

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld

[elibol]

Hi Rob,

The ability to define multiple classes in a single package was removed as of
Flex 1.5. It was removed with the class modifier *private*. There is still a
way to do it though.

First you need to change your file name to match the main class that is
being defined. The main class is the class that is within the package block.
You can then define any additional classes *outside* of the package block.
Classes outside of the package block cannot have any modifiers. The classes
are scoped to the classes within the .as file; no class outside of the .as
file can access these classes.

On 3/26/07, Rob Romanek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


Hi Ron,

Thanks for the suggestion but still no luck on my end.

It seems that on my set up I need to have a constructor named the same as
the .as file and that constructor has to be initiated prior to any of the
other classes being initiated. So I set up

public class MyPackage{
public function MyPackage{
}
}

and then can either do an import or set up the .as file as my document
class and after that I can access HelloWorld or MyClass. This seems to
follow the examples that came with the Flash 9 alpha, which all use the
document class approach and none of the .as files has more than one class
in them, even though you can put more than one class inside. So I'm still
a bit flummoxed as to how the package is working for Jason and not me, ah
well. Probably something stupid I'm doing and the light will go in a few
days.

Just to complete this I've also tried creating a folder called MyPackage
and putting the .as files in there and again without the constructor named
the same as the .as file it did not work

My understanding of 'package' is that the dot path that occurs after it is
the path to the .as file so if the MyPackage.as is sitting in the same
directory as your .fla then I would only have 'package' at the top of the
file, if it were in a directory called MyPackage then the syntax would be

package MyPackage

thanks for ideas,

Rob

Here is a good article on class/package syntax and structure:

http://probertson.com/articles/2006/07/28/one-file-many-as3-classes/

It turns out that one class per package is a Flex limitation.

This might be overkill, but feel free to use the TransformManager and/or

Any examples out there?

I've got as far as resizing a user supplied image and am about to work on

Re: [Flashcoders] Actionscript 3.0 help w/ simple HelloWorld

[Ron Wheeler]

Rob Romanek wrote:

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the suggestion but still no luck on my end.

It seems that on my set up I need to have a constructor named the same 
as the .as file and that constructor has to be initiated prior to any 
of the other classes being initiated. So I set up


Cat.as should contain the class Cat which should have a constructor 
called Cat.


Package is not required but helps group your classes into families 
(directories).

public class MyPackage{
public function MyPackage{
}
}

and then can either do an import or set up the .as file as my document 
class and after that I can access HelloWorld or MyClass. This seems to 
follow the examples that came with the Flash 9 alpha, which all use 
the document class approach and none of the .as files has more than 
one class in them, even though you can put more than one class inside. 
So I'm still a bit flummoxed as to how the package is working for 
Jason and not me, ah well. Probably something stupid I'm doing and the 
light will go in a few days.


Just to complete this I've also tried creating a folder called 
MyPackage and putting the .as files in there and again without the 
constructor named the same as the .as file it did not work


My understanding of 'package' is that the dot path that occurs after 
it is the path to the .as file so if the MyPackage.as is sitting in 
the same directory as your .fla then I would only have 'package' at 
the top of the file, if it were in a directory called MyPackage then 
the syntax would be


I do all my work in Eclipse but I think that the root of your classes is 
your classpath which you will set somewhere in the Flash IDE
The following would be a good directory structure for your 
documentation, sources and test specifications (there could be lots of 
other directories but the main one is the source directory


myproject
  docs
   src  //root of classpath
  com//start of package names
 manbus //com.manbus makes your packages unique
testproj // one of your projects so that package 
names are unique within your company

   animals // individual package directory
  animal.as
   cat.as  //sources
  dog.as
   view // another package
  listanimals.as  //source in the ...view package
   testspec_dir// jsut another project folder - no concern 
to Flash

.
.
.

src would be the root of my classpath
  
Cat.as would start

package com.manbus.testproj.animals
import com.manbus.testproj.animals.animal  //interface definition for 
all animals


class Cat implements Animal{
   private name:String
   public function Cat(name){this.name=name;}// Constructor for Cat
}
  
Dog.as would start

package com.manbus.testproj.animals
import com.manbus.testproj.animals.animal  //interface definition for 
all animals


class Dog implements Animal{
   private name:String
   public function Dog(name){this.name=name;}
}


I hope that this helps.


package MyPackage

thanks for ideas,

Rob

RE: [Flashcoders] empty textfield of type "input" and embedded font

[Steven Sacks | BLITZ]

VM1 requires that you wait a frame before certain methods of dynamically
attached clips are available.  The easiest way around this is to put a
method configUI(); on frame 1 of the timeline in your clip and put that
method in your class to do what you need to do.

And if any of y'all on Flashcoders think that's dirty, go on back to
whatever language you came from.  This here is Flash territory and we
don't kin to you uppity Java types. Yee-haw!  ;)

The alternatives are:

private var fCount:Number = 0;

function ClassName()
{
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.fCount++ > 0) {
configUI();
}
};
}
function configUI()
{
// do whatever
}

OR

private var frameInterval:Number;

function ClassName()
{
frameInterval = setInterval(this, "configUI", 50);
}
function configUI()
{
clearInterval(frameInterval);
// do whatever
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Image resizer that maintains ratio

[Guilherme Cruz]

The "_scale" property is a percentage value
if you have a 800x600 image and set _xscale=50 and _yscale=50, you get a
400x300 image

Hi,
that IS weird, because if your image is 800x600, you are saying:

[Flashcoders] flash and Arabic

[James Tu]

We have an approach to deal with a list of 100 phrases in Arabic.   
When you copy and paste a phrase of Arabic into a Flash textbox,  
Flash reverses it!  So, we first reversed the characters outside of  
Flash and then copied and pasted the phrases into Flash.  Problem  
solved right?


We'll, when someone that can read Arabic read it, they told us that  
the characters look funny.  In essence, the characters weren't  
connecting to each other correctly!  It's as if you took a cursive  
font and laid out the characters and the cursive writing was not  
continuous.


Does anyone have any suggestions on handling Flash and Arabic?  I did  
some extensive searching and there aren't any definitive  
solutions...Some suggested using a special Flash Arabic font, which I  
couldn't find.


Help!
-James

Re: [Flashcoders] Site Check [dm9ddb.com.br]

[Jonathan Fung]

Very slick :)

another quick observation - some items get overlapped
since placement appears random, i can't provide a reliable example

might be a good idea to hide/fade out items that are less than an arbitrary
distance from the viewer's position to avoid this.

Re: [Flashcoders] empty textfield of type "input" and embedded font

[Matthias Dittgen]

Thanks to you all, even Steven! ;-)
I now use setNewTextFormat again, which worked and works best for me.
It works not in combination with htmlText, so I still use plain text
for my input fields. I make a note to myself to not trying to change
again. :-)))

@Bianca: Yes this workaround with react on getting focus is possible
but makes things very complicated.

@Arul: I am not so convinced of using onLoad(), because I don't see
any advantages, because my MovieClips are made by classes only and
everything they use like embedded fonts are already existent/loaded to
the flashplayer, that I am sure.
And in the API Doc stands "You use this handler only with movie clips
for which you have a symbol in the library that is associated with a
class.", so I don't know, if it makes a difference to my textfield
problem. I am going to check this..

@Steven: I am into Flash for a while now! I am not going back! :-) I
don't like to always wait for one frame, because these frames would
become more&more the more UI classes I would attach within the
configUI methods of their parents.. you know.
Hacks and workaround are not so special to ActionScript, I think. I
think, Javascript is beating AS a lot since AJAX arrived.

But thanks to all again for sharing their suggestions and experience,
because this is, what makes Flashcoders and the Flash community that
great.

Regards,
Matthias

RE: [Flashcoders] Image resizer that maintains ratio

[Joe Wheeler]

Here's how I do it:

function maintainAspect ( mc:MovieClip, maxW:Number, maxH:Number ) :Void
{
mc._width  = maxW;
mc._height = maxH;
mc._xscale = mc._yscale = Math.min( mc._xscale, mc._yscale );
}

The "_scale" property is a percentage value if you have a 800x600 image and
set _xscale=50 and _yscale=50, you get a 400x300 image

RE: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8

[Joe Wheeler]

Don't forget to clear the interval inside the function you call - otherwise
it will repeat on and on. It's also best practice to clear an interval
before you set it (in case it gets set twice). 

If you only want the function called once you can also use
_global.setTimeout( func, time ).

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8

Hi Gustave,
 
Here is the answer to your query.
 
The best way for any timing related task is to use Interval.
 
Here is the syntax:
var :Number = setInterval(, );
 
function (){
 
//do your task here..
 
}
 

 
The following is the example for your inderstanding & testing.
 
 
 
this.createTextField("date_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 100,
22); date_txt.autoSize = true; date_txt.selectable = true;
 
var date_interval:Number = setInterval(updateTime, 500, date_txt);
 
function updateTime(my_txt:TextField) {
my_txt.text = new Date().toString(); trace(my_txt.text); }
 
 
I hope, this is well enough to solve your problem.
 
Thanks & regards,
 
Parvaiz Patel.

[Flashcoders] Multiple streaming sounds cut off during playback

[Ryan Burrell]

Hello all,

I am experiencing an issue with some streaming sounds that I pull in. I have
an example up here: http://www.humanussonus.org/flash/co.../conflict.html.
Basically, the problem is that after rolling over these images (which then
dynamically stream in a random sound) the sounds will cutoff mid-go. This
appears to be entirely at random as well, so I've been having a hard time
troubleshooting it. I have the source file and needed sounds available here:
http://www.humanussonus.org/flash/conflict/conflict.zip.

Any ideas that anyone has are more than welcome. I've tried several
different approaches, including putting a control in to only allow a certain
number of sounds to be playing at any one time. I have been unable to find
mention of this sort of problem through my searches; I'm wondering if my
approach needs to be re-evaluated as to how I am pulling in these random
sounds dynamically.

In this particular file (I have others I am working on) the cutoff normally
occurs when multiple sounds are playing at the same time. According to my
research, Flash is *supposed* to be able to have 32 channels of sound in FP
8 & 9. However, the cutoff does not occur when hitting the 32 sound mark (or
even 16, not certain if it tracks stereo as dual-channel or not).

To complicate things more, I have put in code to limit the simultaneous
sounds to 6 at any given time (this code is commented out in the version I
have up on the web; it is in the source file however). I figured that this
would fix the issue, but the problem still occurs if you get multiple
streaming sounds going at the same time*and* it still doesn't happen
consistently.

Are there other methods to load sound in dynamically from a source directory
without using Media Server? Perhaps storing things in an array? (why this
would matter I don't know).  I'd prefer to get my current setup working as
it is easy to add more sound files to and very low in size.

Thank you in advance for any help.

First suggestion, keep all your actionscript on one frame. Searching through
everything is making it a real pain to debug. I'm looking at it right now,
if I find anything I'll let you know.

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple streaming sounds cut off during playback

[Ryan Burrell]

Thank you for your help.  I have several other options that I am going to
try out to see if I can get something working, but anything that anyone may
happen to notice or suggest on this is appreciated.  I work tech support for
a living and the worst type of problem to fix is one that is sporadic...just
like this one.

Re: [Flashcoders] timer question

[Mauricio Furtado Massaia]

Or u can use a setTimeout in Flash 8.

example:



function aaa():Void
{
   trace( "aaa called!");
}

setTimeout( this , "aaa" , 1000); // 1000 milli = 1sec





or use setInterval :

var myInterval;

function aaa()
{
   trace( "aaa called!" )
   clearInterval( myInterval );
}

myInterval = setInterval( this , "aaa" , 1000 );



hugs

[Flashcoders] another setInterval question

[Raphael Villas]

I have got a setInterval like this:

-
var autoID = setInterval(autoPilot,5000);

function autoPilot():Void {
nextScene();
};
-

If a rollover occurs, I'd like to pause the setInterval until the  
rollout occurs. Is there a way to suspend the setInterval during a   
rollover and then restart it onRollOut?


Thanks in advance...

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple streaming sounds cut off during playback

[Jason Cordial]

I tried the online version, and I saw your problem.

Off the top of my head, declare an array for all the different sounds. Like

var soundsNowPlaying:Array = new Array();

keep setting sounds like

soundsNowPlaying[soundsNowPlaying.length+1] = new Sound blah blah

I think the problem might be that you're overwriting the sound every time
the next one starts playing, which causes the problem.

[Flashcoders] openBound Class

[Martin Klasson]

Hi all,

I found a jsfl-script which opens up the selected library-items class in 
the Flash IDE,
but is there so that i can open the class-file through jsfl in another 
application, as in FlashDevelop

-even if it surely means hardcoding the path to my FlashDevelop.

is that possible?

Re: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8

thanks to all of you guys..now I did it and I've just trigger an

Don't forget to clear the interval inside the function you call -

it will repeat on and on. It's also best practice to clear an interval
before you set it (in case it gets set twice).

If you only want the function called once you can also use
_global.setTimeout( func, time ).

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] setting a timer in flash 8

Hi Gustave,

Here is the answer to your query.

The best way for any timing related task is to use Interval.

Here is the syntax:
var :Number = setInterval(,  

interval in millisecond>);

function (){

//do your task here..

}



The following is the example for your inderstanding & testing.



this.createTextField("date_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10,  
10, 100,

22); date_txt.autoSize = true; date_txt.selectable = true;

var date_interval:Number = setInterval(updateTime, 500, date_txt);

function updateTime(my_txt:TextField) {
my_txt.text = new Date().toString(); trace(my_txt.text); }


I hope, this is well enough to solve your problem.

Thanks & regards,

Parvaiz Patel.

Re: [Flashcoders] another setInterval question

[Mauricio Furtado Massaia]

i think so , like this :

var intervalID;

function initInterva()
{
   intervalID = setInterval( this , "nextScene" , 5000 );
}

function stopInterval()
{
   clearInterval( intervalID );
}


// onRollOver will stop the interval
my_mc.onRollOver = function (){
   stopInterval();
}

// onRollOut restart the interval
my_mc.onRollOut = function(){
   initInterval();
}


// start your interval
initInterval();


I wish it helps

[Flashcoders] Determining the final URL of a resource

[Daniel Thompson]

I am attempting to determine the final URL of a resource on the web (an
MP3). When the URLRequest is provided to the Sound object, it handles
(transparently) the redirects (301, 302). I need access to those server
messages.

I have tried creating a socket in order to do simple HEAD requests... but
the crossdomain policy requirement is stopping this path short.

How can I determine the final location of a file in ActionScript 3?

Thanks,
-DT

Re: [Flashcoders] another setInterval question

[Muzak]

Might as well throw in Delegate while you're at it:

import mx.utils.Delegate;
var intervalID:Number;

function rolloverHandler() {
// always clear interval before setting a new one
clearInterval(intervalID);
intervalID = setInterval(this , "nextScene" , 5000 );
}
function rolloutHandler() {
clearInterval(intervalID);
}

my_mc.onRollOver = Delegate.create(this, rolloverHandler);
my_mc.onRollOut = Delegate.create(this, rolloutHandler);

rolloverHandler();

regards,
Muzak

[Flashcoders] Flash modify

[Phil Smith]

Hi. I am using a Flash template and I want to modify it so that it starts at 
frame 161 each time, as a return page without intro. Anyone got an easy 
solution?
Cheers, Phil Smith.

[Flashcoders] Embedded video playback problem?

[Martin Scott Goldberg]

Having an issue with video playback in AS2/Flash 8 I'm hoping someone can
help with. I created an .swf that's just for playing back an .flv that's
stored on my website.

The content path in the FLVPlayback component was provided in the form of
a url to the location on my web server.

The issue is: when I test the swf from directly in Flash 8
(ctrl-enter), it works fine and plays the flv that's stored on the
website.  The selected media skin controller comes up fine as well.  

However, when I publish it and attempt to play it loaded through the
browser, it just sits on the first frame and the media skin
controller doesn't come up as either:

http://www.atarihq.com/pongtest/pongcommercial.html


Anyone know what's going on?

I should also add, in the browser (FireFox) info bar at the bottom, it
states:

"Read www.atarihq.com" and just sits there like that.

Re: [Flashcoders] Embedded video playback problem?

[Muzak]

set autoPlay to true or listen for the ready event and start the video then.

Upload the skin swf that should be in the same directory as the compiled swf.
Something like: SteelExternalAll.swf

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple streaming sounds cut off during playback

[Jason Cordial]

Alright, where you have

//Hold playhead here
stop();

//Declare global variable for tracking the number of sounds currently
playing
_global.soundsPlaying = 0;

//Create function to load in random sound file onRollOver
this.onRollOver = function() {
   //Check to see if soundsPlaying is less than specified limit
   if (_global.soundsPlaying < 6) {
   //Define variable for random sound file number
   soundNumber = Math.round(Math.random()*7)+1;
   var soundFile:Sound = new Sound();
   soundFile.loadSound("sounds_library/conflict_"+soundNumber+".mp3",
true);
   soundFile.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void  {
   if (success) {
   soundFile.start();
   }
   };
   //Increment soundsPlaying variable
   _global.soundsPlaying++;
   trace(soundsPlaying);
   //Decrement soundsPlaying variable when sound finishes
   soundFile.onSoundComplete = function(){
   _global.soundsPlaying--;
   trace(soundsPlaying);
   };
   }
   //Define function to load a new random image onRelease
   frameNumber = Math.round(Math.random()*3)+1;
   maskBox.gotoAndPlay("tran"+frameNumber);
};


replace it with this:



//Hold playhead here
stop();
var soundsNowPlaying:Array = new Array();
_global.counterJ = 0;
//Declare global variable for tracking the number of sounds currently
playing
_global.soundsPlaying = 0;

//Create function to load in random sound file onRollOver
this.onRollOver = function() {
   //Check to see if soundsPlaying is less than specified limit
   if (_global.soundsPlaying < 10) {
   //Define variable for random sound file number
   soundNumber = Math.round(Math.random()*7)+1;
   soundsNowPlaying[counter] = new Sound();

soundsNowPlaying[counter].loadSound("sounds_library/conflict_"+soundNumber+".mp3",
true);
   soundsNowPlaying[counter].onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void  {
   if (success) {
   this.start();
   }
   }
   //Increment soundsPlaying variable
   _global.soundsPlaying++;
   //trace(soundsPlaying);
   //Decrement soundsPlaying variable when sound finishes
   soundsNowPlaying[counter].onSoundComplete = function(){

   }
   //Define function to load a new random image onRelease
   frameNumber = Math.round(Math.random()*3)+1;
   maskBox.gotoAndPlay("tran"+frameNumber);
}


and tell me if that helps out. If yes I'll explain whats happening and if
no, then I'll try and find something else.

It's a very cool little app, so I hope it starts working.

[Flashcoders] Sending binary data to server - NO HEADERS

[Carlos Saenz]

I am trying to send binary data to a server side script which takes a  
variable called file, and saves it as a binary file.


so if I have a variable in my flash movie "myfile", with a value of  
"asdf", and I send that to the server, it will make a file on the  
filesystem called "myfile", and the contents of it will be asdf


Now, the trick is to send the script an image or video file. I have  
tried the following ways:


1) Using FileReference class (Flash 8)
--- This works with php and move_uploaded_file.
--- This does NOT work the server side script mentioned above. It  
adds headers to the file. Same headers found here:


http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/ 
wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=2225.html


Namely:
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x
--AaB03x
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Filedata"; filename="example.jpg"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
... contents of example.jpg ...
--AaB03x--

PHP can handle this, the other script cannot. Unfortunately we are  
stuck with the other script. So I looked at different ways to send  
binary data to the server, without using FileReference.



2) Flex Builder 2.

Here we have some new classes. Such as URLRequest and URLLoader,  
where you can use URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY. This transferred the  
file to the server side script we are stuck with perfectly. No errors  
or problems.


Unfortunately they want a Flash Player 8 solution.


3) Some examples on the web where people have taken a BitmapData  
object in Flash 8 and programmatically convert a bitmap into an array  
of string data which represents pixel data, which is converted on the  
server to an image.
-- Is this method possible with LoadVars to send a binary stream of  
data to a script via POST, which will make it think it's the same as  
a file upload???



Well these are my three options
1) FileReference -- Flash 8 --> Is there a way to eliminate the  
headers its sending by default?
2) Flex Builder 2 - URLLoader class --> Any way to use this in Flash  
Player 8? (Doesn't seem possible)
3) Manually encode binary data into a variable and pass it through  
loadVars making the server think it's a file upload. Possible???


OR

4) Any other possibility I may have overlooked?

Thanks for any help,
-Carlos-

[Flashcoders] Free AS2 Filter Tweening Engine - TweenFilterLite

[Jack Doyle]

For those of you using the TweenLite tweening engine, I just released the
TweenFilterLite class which extends TweenLite, adding the following
capabilities:
- Tween filters like Blurs, Glows, DropShadows, and Bevels
- Tween ColorMatrixFilter effects like colorization, hue, saturation,
brightness, contrast, and threshold 

I tried to make it extremely easy to use, and I created an interactive
sample that demonstrates a lot of the features and even generates the code
for you.

http://www.greensock.com/ActionScript/TweenFilterLite

It's free. This isn't a sales pitch; I just thought some of you FlashCoders
out there could benefit from the time I poured into this. I'm grateful for
the community of experts out there who take time from their valuable day to
answer questions from me and many others.

If you haven't checked out the lightweight (2kb) TweenLite tweening engine,
have a look: http://www.greensock.com/ActionScript/TweenLite

Cheers.

Jack Doyle

Re: [Flashcoders] another setInterval question

Hi,
note that the proposed solutions restart the interval, they do not pause it.

Otherwise calculate how much time there is still left of the interval.

Re: [Flashcoders] Image resizer that maintains ratio

[Hans Wichman]

The more I read these post, the more I wonder whether people actually read
what others have already replied.

Here's how I do it:

function maintainAspect ( mc:MovieClip, maxW:Number, maxH:Number ) :Void
{
   mc._width  = maxW;
   mc._height = maxH;
   mc._xscale = mc._yscale = Math.min( mc._xscale, mc._yscale );
}

The "_scale" property is a percentage value if you have a 800x600 image
and
set _xscale=50 and _yscale=50, you get a 400x300 image

Re: [Flashcoders] another setInterval question

[Muzak]

Since the interval is only 5 seconds, I wouldn't bother with a timer and what 
not to achieve a "real pause" and just go with 
resetting the interval.
