Re: [Flashcoders] animating into bitmaps data, recording stop points
I have this data available for each stop point so re-creating the bitmap isn't a big deal, but I am concerned with the lag in doing this because the animation is script generated and very complex i.e. it may take a few (or up to 5 seconds) to re-generate the data for each of these frames. The data at times is an array of 1000+ lines or pixel data. I'll have to test and see if this can work. On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 11:44 AM, Glen Pike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maybe record your vector data / changes each frame, or similar, so that you can redraw the bitmaps if necessary. It's almost like an undo function; So for each bitmap you render, you would store the commands to draw it. You can make this even more compact by just storing the changes since the last render, although if you are storing loads of frames you may want to create a keyframe every so often that stores all the information needed to draw a bitmap without relying on previous frames. The keyframe thing is used in MPEG and other similar compression methods. Then you can render the bitmaps as normal, but only store the most recent. If you want to step backwards, you use the vector info to redraw the bitmap. Mick G wrote: I'm working on an animation of sorts that uses the Flash drawing api to draw into bitmapdata. At various intervals throughout the animation I want to record screenshots and be able to step back and view these various stages of the animation. The only way I can think of achieving this is creating copies of the bitmap data in memory and re-loading them into the scene as needed. Problem here is it would be very memory intensive if I want to record 20 or more screenshots. Any other suggestions? I could possibly re-generate the animation at the recorded stop-point each time but that would take possibly a few seconds to re-create the bitmap for each point. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders -- Glen Pike 01736 759321 www.glenpike.co.uk http://www.glenpike.co.uk ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Detection Kit and Express install for flash player 9?
Hello everyone!
{If this posting has been done before I apologise}
Regarding the Adobe Flash® Player Detection Kit and express Install.
Is it actually possible to create a webpage that will detect which player
version the viewer has and offer a express install without having to leave
the webpage and not have to restart there computer. (For flash player 9!!)
It seems there are a hell of alot of people out there still with flash player 8
or below!!
Thankyou for any replies.

[Flashcoders] Problem when applying dynamic mask [AS3]
Hi i have another problem this time its to do with masking an object, here is
the code that creates a movieclip then loads an image into to...
bannerArea = newMovieClip(0xff, 0, 0, 420, 173);
addChildAt(bannerArea,0);
banner.loadImage(banners/ + xmlClass.xmlData.BannerRef + .jpg, 0,0,
bannerArea, 420, 173);
Then an item is called from the library and applyed as a mask...
var maskClip = loadLibrary(maskMC + xmlClass.xmlData.Mask.toString());
addChild(maskClip);
bannerArea.mask = maskClip;
This is the function that calls the item from the library (this isnt currently
working correctly but we have found a quick fix till we have worked out the
masking problem)...
private function loadLibrary(item)
{
var maskClip = new item();
return maskClip;
}
Quick fix for code...
private function loadLibrary(item)
{
var maskClip = new maskMC1();
return maskClip;
}
The problem areas is not loading items from teh library but its when it applys
the mask i.e. bannerArea.mask = maskClip;
Any one have any ideas?

[Flashcoders] Variables can only be seen from outside of class
Hi there, this is a weird problem that I am sure has a really simple
solution.
I have written a custom class that is instantiated by another custom
class. I pass a few variables to the class and I can trace them going
in and check that they are set but when I go to use them again they
are undefined, if I trace them from the class they are undefined.
However, if I trace the variables from the main timeline they appear
fine.
I'm not sure what is going on with this, I think I am declaring my
class or variables incorrectly though i can't see where.
I have been battling with this since yesterday, if anyone could
suggest a possible solution it would be a massive help. The class is
at the bottom of the email.
Thanks,
Ali

Hi, Stuart,
This looks like a job for global function getDefinitionByName(), my new bff
(learned from this list).
You can't instantiate item just as a string. You need to call
getDefinitionByName(item) and then use that as your class def.
var classReference:Class = getDefinitionByName(item);
return classReference();

[Flashcoders] mp3 streaming interrupted
I'm using AS2. In my movie, I have some external mp3 files that will start streaming and then just stop playing. It's as if the streaming suddenly stops, but this happens even if I'm playing the sound back locally. From the documentation, if looks like there are just two ways to stop a sound from playing, by calling sound.stop() on the specific instance of the sounds, and by calling Sound.stop() without reference to a specific sound to stop all sounds. As far as I can tell, there's no place in my code where I am making either type of call. Does the variable pointing to the sound being played need to persist in memory for the sound to continue playing? I'm nearly positive that the variable is persistent, but I'm shooting in the dark here. The sound is loaded using sound.loadSound(url, true); and it starts playing nearly right away. After a while it stops. Sometimes it plays longer than others. These sounds are about 25KB/sec. and are 10 and 20 seconds long. Even if the data-stream is interrupted, the sound should start playing again once the buffer gets loaded up again, right? I know there's something in my movie that is causing this, because if I make a test movie where I just play the sound it works just fine. The problem is I can't figure out where else to look for the cause of the problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] Moock TileMap/TileSet/TileMapRenderer
Instead of using Math.random() in the randomize function, you would set
the ID to the row / column position:
public function generate(numTiles:int):void {
var numRows:int =
getNumRows();
for (var i:int = 0; i numRows; i++) {
for (var j:int = 0; j getNumCols(); j++) {
setTile(j, i, (i * numRows) + j);
}
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Moock TileMap/TileSet/TileMapRenderer
http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/index.html is good for information on Tile Based Games, but the code is not AS3 this also links to: http://oos.moxiecode.com/ which also has lots of info about Flash Games - old too, but there loads of links to other resources at the bottom of the page. AS3 is now getting to the stage where you can apply Windows game based principles too it, so grab any Windows Game programming books that teach you how to do mess around with Images, Sprites and stuff and you should be able to translate the basic principles to Flash - the physics never changes. There are possibly more flash game things out there - I would look at Keith Peter's Foundation AS3 Making Things Move book as this has lots of AS3 + Physics stuff that you would use in games too. Not sure if Flash Game Programming Demystified (Jobe Makar) has been updated for AS3 yet, but the old versions of these are really good too.

within a class, soon as the mask is applyed it throws an error!
Ive decided to use SWFs insted of masking an image, but for some reason its not
correctly sizing the file its loading!
then the actual code to initiate the load is...
banner.loadImage(banners/ + xmlClass.xmlData.BannerRef + .swf, 0,0,
bannerArea, 420, 173);
The code to load the file is
public function loadImage(filename:String, mcX:int, mcY:int,
mcName:MovieClip, imgWidth:int, imgHeight:int):void
{
_mcName = mcName;
_imgWidth = imgWidth;
_imgHeight = imgHeight;
_mcY = mcY;
_mcX = mcX;
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader(); // Set loader
try
{
var imageURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filename); // Set file name
imageLoader.load (imageURL);
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
imgLoadComplete);
trace(DEBUG [imageLib-loadImage]: Loading image: + filename);

Re: [Flashcoders] mp3 streaming interrupted
When you instantiate the object sound, are you passing a movieclip that possibly disappears at some point? sound:Sound = new Sound(someClipThatGoesAway_mc); I don't actually know right now if that clip disappeared if the sound would stop (the link between Sound objects and MovieClips can be a little counter-intuitive), but it would be one place to look. -jonathan On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 11:38 AM, Andrew Sinning [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm using AS2.

Re: [Flashcoders] mp3 streaming interrupted
I figured out the problem -- the array holding the pointer to the instance if the sound object was getting indexed with an empty string (), and thus never actually getting added to the array, thus there was no persistent pointer to the instance. Andrew Sinning wrote: I'm using AS2. In my movie, I have some external mp3 files that will start streaming and then just stop playing. It's as if the streaming suddenly stops, but this happens even if I'm playing the sound back locally. From the documentation, if looks like there are just two ways to stop a sound from playing, by calling sound.stop() on the specific instance of the sounds, and by calling Sound.stop() without reference to a specific sound to stop all sounds. As far as I can tell, there's no place in my code where I am making either type of call. Does the variable pointing to the sound being played need to persist in memory for the sound to continue playing? I'm nearly positive that the variable is persistent, but I'm shooting in the dark here. The sound is loaded using sound.loadSound(url, true); and it starts playing nearly right away. After a while it stops. Sometimes it plays longer than others. These sounds are about 25KB/sec. and are 10 and 20 seconds long. Even if the data-stream is interrupted, the sound should start playing again once the buffer gets loaded up again, right?

[Flashcoders] Flash 8 Tree - calculated horizontal scrolling
The Flash 8 Tree component has the *hScrollPolicy *property, but if this set to on, the Tree does not automatically show a horizontal scrollbar (presumably to save rendering time since it requires traversing all nodes to find the widest). But this seems like a pretty basic requirement that should have been made a configurable option for those who need it and are willing to take a performance hit. I see that additionally setting * maxHPosition* to a value does actually create a horizontal scroll bar to scroll by that amount, however, how would you go about finding which node in the tree is the widest, in order to set *maxHPosition* to the appropriate value?

alternate page aswell?

Regarding the Adobe Flash® Player Detection Kit and express Install.
Is it actually possible to create a webpage that will detect which player
version the viewer has and offer a express install without having to
leave
the webpage and not have to restart there computer. (For flash player 9!!)
It seems there are a hell of alot of people out there still with flash
player 8 or below!!
Thankyou for any replies.

Re: [Flashcoders] Detection Kit and Express install for flash player9?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It all depends on the nature of the site
and requirements of the client.
If it's an AS3 site with no HTML alternatives, since I personally cannot
trust Express Install, I would show a link to the FP download page so
that the user can update the player manually if the player version is
9. But there are reports SWFObject fails to detect the player version
correctly on IE7 updated from IE6. Therefore I may will have to use
Adobe detection script instead for the version detection.
There ought to be more elegant solution though. I hope someone can chime
in for this issue.
