[Flashcoders] Properly embedding flash with html.

[Vlado Krempl]

Hello everyone,

Question:
When embedding a flash movie in HTML - 
Is everyone using the Publish settings that flash CS3 comes with  
"AC_RunActiveContent.js etc or 
is the "SWF OBject still the preferred way?

Cheers,

[Flashcoders] Problem with datefield disabled ranges

[JD Hoover]

Hi,
I'm using a datefield component Flash 8 and want to disable dates from 
an external xml file created from a mysql db.The two instances are 
instantiated from the library. Trace of the disabled date array is:
{rangeStart: new Date(2008,2,6), rangeEnd: new 
Date(2008,7,3)},{rangeStart: new Date(2008,7,3), rangeEnd: new 
Date(2008,7,7)},{rangeStart: new Date(2007,6,5), rangeEnd: new 
Date(2007,8,7)},{rangeStart: new Date(2007,9,8), rangeEnd: new 
Date(2007,11,10)}


The AS is as follows:
stop();
var daysIn:Array = new Array();
var monthsIn:Array = new Array();
var yearsIn:Array = new Array();
var daysOut:Array = new Array();
var monthsOut:Array = new Array();
var yearsOut:Array = new Array();
var allData:Array = [];
myXml_xml = new XML();
myXml_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
myXml_xml.onLoad = function(ok) {

you're sending a comma separated string to the server?

why not have 2 hey digits for all the data and omit the comma? this would
bring your data to 2/3 of its size, which means 26sec*2/3 = 17.3sec

when this works, you could try to send binary data - so instead if sending
the string "ff" you would send the binary byte 255. if this works, this
would cut the time in half again => 8.6sec

if you can't create binary data, you could still use base64 encoding
instead, which would give you 8.6*1.33 = 11.5sec.

Claudius

It makes it easy to reconstruct too, and it's taken about 7 seconds 
off in my tests. Saving a 300x320 image went from about 26sec to now 
19sec. It's not huge, but everything is something...

Re: [Flashcoders] Resizing a background image only.And keeping aspectratio.

[Kenneth Kawamoto]

I don't know how you are loading/adding the image to the Stage, but just
fire image resize command as soon as the image is ready. For example:

private function fillStage():void {
  picture_mc.width = Math.max(stage.stageWidth, minW);
  picture_mc.height = Math.max(stage.stageHeight, minH);
  picture_mc.scaleX = picture_mc.scaleY = Math.max(picture_mc.scaleX,
picture_mc.scaleY);
}

private function onLoadInit(e:Event):void {
  picture_mc.addChild(e.target.content);
  minW = picture_mc.width;
  minH = picture_mc.height;
  fillStage();
}

private function onStageResize(e:Event):void {
  fillStage();
}

(this example is using Loader to load the image and adding it to picture_mc)

By the way your HTML does not display Flash content on Firefox (Mac).

Vlado,

The site you're referring is slightly different, i.e. my code shows ALL
regions of the image while maintaining the aspect ratio, but the site
fills the Stage and crops the image if the Stage aspect ratio does not
match the image's. There is also a "minimum width/height" of the 
image and the image does not get smaller than that width.


Ivan's approach is good but it's Math.max(), not Math.min() I believe.

Here's the revised code:


private const MINW:uint = 1024;
private const MINH:uint = 768;

private function onStageResize(e:Event = null):void {
   picture_mc.width = Math.max(stage.stageWidth, MINW);
   picture_mc.height = Math.max(stage.stageHeight, MINH);
   picture_mc.scaleX = picture_mc.scaleY = 
Math.max(picture_mc.scaleX, picture_mc.scaleY);

   picture_mc.x = Math.floor((stage.stageWidth - picture_mc.width)/2);
   picture_mc.y = Math.floor((stage.stageHeight - picture_mc.height)/2);
}

(You could add where to "anchor" the image too, so that eyes are 
always seen, for example.)

Re: [Flashcoders] Simple compression algo?

[Juan Pablo Califano]

Interesting stuff. I assume you're creating the jpeg on the server since you 
seem to be passing the raw bitmap data (compressing the pixel data with your 
algorythm).


Perhaps another approach worth trying is creating the jpef directly on the 
Flash app. Have you tried it?


I've done that with AS 3.0, using a class provided by adobe, JPGEncoder, 
that I found browsing the web. I think it could be easily ported to AS 2.0; 
the only AS 3.0 feature used in the encoder is the ByteArray, which can be 
ported to AS 2.0 as well. I've already done that and it works fine; of 
course, since it's AS and not native code (and since it runs in the AVM1 
instead of the AVM2), the performance would not be as good as the native 
ByteArray. I haven't benchmarked or stress-test it, but so far, it gets the 
job done.


The cons of this approach: it will require more processing on the client 
side (perhaps too much to consider using it in production, but the only way 
to know is testing and benchmarking, I guess). On the other hand, sending a 
~10 - ~15 Kb jpeg upstream should be way faster than posting a ~750 KB 
string (assuming 24 bits per pixel, 300 px * 320 px * 4 bytes (3 per pixel, 
1 for the each comma) * 2 (taking the max value of 'ff', 2 chars). Probably 
it's a bit less than that since your are compressing it...


Can you describe the flow of your app?

Hi all, I've been working on allowing users to dowload a jpeg from a 
movieClip in AS2 and came up with a simple, yet novel compression idea, 
that's a bit like RLE but not quite.


Basically it is this - analyze the image pixel by pixel to get the hex 
color codes into an array. Then, make a new array the same length as the 
colors array, but filled with "" - so it's full of nulls. I then iterate 
the colors array and if the current color is the same as the previous 
color, I don't add it to the new array - otherwise I do.


So if I have: [ff, ff, ff, aa, ff, aa, aa, aa, aa] the new array would be 
[ff, , , aa, ff, aa, , , ]


It makes it easy to reconstruct too, and it's taken about 7 seconds off in 
my tests. Saving a 300x320 image went from about 26sec to now 19sec. It's 
not huge, but everything is something...

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic upload of bunch of images with automaticsmooth.

[Muzak]

Check the example in the docs.
You need to create a copy of the original (loaded) image, add it to the display 
list and remove the (original) loaded image

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/Bitmap.html

Here's an example of loading an image and displaying a copy next to it:

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Bitmap;

var loader:Loader;
var req:URLRequest;
var orig_mc:MovieClip;
var copy_mc:MovieClip;

function loaderCompleteHandler(evt:Event) {
var ldr:Loader = evt.currentTarget.loader as Loader;
var origImg:Bitmap = (ldr.content as Bitmap)
origImg.width = 200;
origImg.height = 150;

var image:Bitmap = new Bitmap(origImg.bitmapData, "auto", true);
image.width = 200;
image.height = 150;
copy_mc.addChild(image);
}

loader = new Loader();
req = new URLRequest("2.jpg");
loader.load(req);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, 
loaderCompleteHandler);

orig_mc = new MovieClip();
orig_mc.addChild(loader);
addChild(orig_mc);

copy_mc = new MovieClip();
copy_mc.x = 210;
addChild(copy_mc);

Re: [Flashcoders] Save MC as JPG

[John McCormack]

Might it be this...

public checkPolicyFile : Boolean

Specifies whether Flash Player should attempt to download a cross-domain policy 
file from the loaded object's server before beginning to load the object 
itself. 

Set this flag to true when you are loading an image (JPG, GIF, or PNG) from 
outside the calling SWF file's own domain and you expect to access the content 
of that image using BitmapData.draw(). If you attempt this operation without 
having specified checkPolicyFile at loading time, you may encounter a security 
error because the needed policy file has not been downloaded yet.

Re: [Flashcoders] Save MC as JPG

[John McCormack]

Has the frame definitely loaded when you read the pixel?
Have you some code to give us a clue?

Nobody?
I am still not figuring this out. Using getPixel() on certain clips is 
returning #FF when it's cleary not a white pixel. But it makes no 
sense. On one clip it works, on another it doesn't. Both are just movie 
clips containing imported bitmap images. I've searched for problems with 
getPixel() but haven't found anything regarding returning white when it 
shouldn't. This is frustrating.

Re: [Flashcoders] Save MC as JPG

OK -it seems to be the BitmapData.draw() method that is failing. On just 
certain images (though all are jpeg's imported into Flash and turned into 
MC's) draw() is copying an all white image, and on some it works. It doesn't 
seem to be a size issue since some rather large images are working.

[Pedro Kostelec]

You mean you want to update it all the time(the image size)?

Try sth like this:




private function init():void {

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onEnterFrame);
}
private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
var picRatio:Number=picture_mc.width / picture_mc.height; //i
took kenneths code!!
var stageRatio:Number=stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight;
if (picRatio > stageRatio) {
picture_mc.width=stage.stageWidth;
picture_mc.height=picture_mc.width / picRatio;
} else {
picture_mc.height=stage.stageHeight;
picture_mc.width=picture_mc.height * picRatio;
}

}

Re: [Flashcoders] Resizing a background image only.And keeping aspectratio.

[Vlado Krempl]

Kenneth,

Works fantastic. Thanks.
One problem though, in the browser ( IE ) the image shows up small and only 
resizes when you adjust the browser.
Is it possible to have the image in the browser and have the image touching 
the sides at all times.

Here is a great example site.

http://www.zinkmag.com

Cheers,

vlado

It could be cleaner, but here we go:

  var picRatio:Number = picture_mc.width/picture_mc.height;
  var stageRatio:Number = stage.stageWidth/stage.stageHeight;

Perhaps sth like this would work:
original_picture_width=550;
original_picture_height=400;

picture_mc.width=stage.stageWidth;
picture_mc.height=(stage.stageWidth /
original_picture_width)*original_picture_height;

I am not sure it is completely as3, becasue i just started learning it, so
you perhaps should mdify it a bit.
WIth this i think you should keep the aspect ratio
