Are you trying to get width & height in a live situation, or would an offline

Re: [Flashcoders] Reading SWF headers with ASP

[Juan Pablo Califano]

In native classic ASP (without any extra components installed in the
server), I'd say it's almost impossible. Maybe if the swf is uncompressed,
you can give it a shot, reading the file with a FileSystemObject -which is
meant to read text files- and using some single-byte string encoding and
reading the chars values with de asc() function. Ugly, but it should be
possible (it's not a peace of cake, though, considering the fact that VBS
doesn't even have a syntax for bit shifting, so you'd have to craft
some functions for that).

But the biggest problem is, most swf's are compressed since version 6, and
except the first 8 bytes (signature + version + file_size), the rest of the
header itself is deflated (as well as the rest of the file). As far as I
know, classic ASP doesn't support deflating natively, so that would be a
major problem -- and I'm not sure if there's some work around to that
limitations.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loosing full-screen when loosing focus

[Rich Shupe]

I don't think it's possible to prevent this in the browser. It's probably
possible when using a third-party projector enhancer like mProjector, but
you'd have to test.

Re: [Flashcoders] addCuePoint - AS2

[Jason Van Cleave]

I don't think cuepoints are anything inherit to Flash video/NetStream class
but just information that is injected in the flv metadata during encoding.

If you create an array to hold cuepoints as objects and track them with an
interval watching NetStream.time you should be able to create the same
effect.

You could also dig into the mx.video.FLVPlayback and
mx.video.CuePointManager classes to see how Macromedia did it.

[Flashcoders] Reading SWF headers with ASP

[Helmut Granda]

Hi All,

I have done some extensive research in the subject and the only
solution I found is a ASP class some one wrote in 2001 and it is outdated.
Does anyone knows how to read the SWF headers with ASP? I know how to do it
with PHP but I havent found a solution with ASP.

Mainly I am trying to get width and height.

[Flashcoders] Loosing full-screen when loosing focus

[Bart Goormans]

Dear Listers,
( I just joined the mailinglist so if I'm way out off topic with my 
question here, pls let me know.)


I wondered if one could tell a full-screen swf (CTRL+F in flashplayer) 
to stay full-screen after loosing focus?

I found little or no documentation about this toppic.

At  
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/full_screen_mode_print.html 


Tracy Stampfli says:
   "...The full-screen mode in Flash Player is initiated through
   ActionScript and *can be* terminated through ActionScript,
   keyboard shortcuts, or by the user switching focus to
   another window."

Not "...*will be* terminated..."  which is practically the case. Are 
there some settings to prevent leaving full-screen mode? This would be 
especially nice when having a dual screen setup with one screen 
playing(projecting) an SWF presentation and the other having ready to do 
some administrating or whatever. Any thoughts?


Thank you guys!
Bart

Re: [Flashcoders] Is Adobe fixing this big FP9 problem?

[Paolo Nicoletti]

Hello Erik,
I always try to clean every addEventListener I put in my code, but, as 
you said, Timer, Stage and EnterFrame events are in fact the ones that 
cause the problems.
In fact this little application is useful only for tracking event 
listeners that the programmer has forgotten to remove.

This can happen sometimes, at least to me ;-)
On the other hands, the application is useful also to get a sense of the 
code written by third parties in the case you have to load their assets 
in your main container.


Paolo

Stage listeners are easy to clean up. If you ever attach a listener to the
stage, add it within the ADDED_TO_STAGE handler, make sure you remove it
within the REMOTED_FROM_STAGE handler. I am not sure, but I think using a
weak listener here would do the trick as well and would prevent you from
needing to remove it.

As for Timer and EnterFrame events, make sure you never run them forever. In
all cases I can think of, there is no need to let them run forever. Running
them forever is just lazy programming. If you have a usecase where one of
these would run forever I am interested in it :)

As for normal events, this has (as far as I can tell) nothing to do
with problem mentioned by grant.

Re: [Flashcoders] Converting a ByteArray to string and back again...

[EECOLOR]

To me that seems to work perfectly:

var a:Array = new Array();
a.push("hello");
a.push("this");
a.push("is");
a.push("a");
a.push("test");

var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
ba.writeObject(a);
ba.position = 0;

var ba2:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
ba2.writeUTFBytes(ba.toString());
ba2.position = 0;

trace(ba2.readObject() is Array);
ba2.position = 0;
trace(ba2.readObject());

Instead of ba.toString you could also use ba.readUTFBytes.

I think you could use a ByteArray to do it. It would be (from the top of my

t1BA.writeObject(t1Array);

[Flashcoders] MouseUp and MouseDown Events in TileList Componenet in AS 3.0

Hi Guys
I am trying to implement drag and drop from the tile list component  to the
main stage. I would be successful in loading dynamic videos in the tileList
component and double clicking on any video in the tile list, will open the
main video on the main stage( Code is attached). The main video is loaded in
the UILoader. How ever I have to implement the same functionality with the
drag and drop of the video thumbnails. The user should be able to drag any
thumbnail and drop on the main stage which will do the same thing when he
double clicks on the thumbnail( the difference is in drag-drop case
Video(UILoader) will be placed wherever user left his mouse). I am not sure
in AS 3.0 how will i implement drag and drop using MOUSE UP and MOUSE DOWN
in the tilelist component . Anyone has any idea, please help me out
Thanks
Anuj

/CODE FOR DOUBLE CLICK
myTileList.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,OpenVideoOnDoubleClicking);

//Double Clicking  of thumbnail

RE: [Flashcoders] Using FlexBuilder3 profiler with FlashCS3

[Sunil Jolly]

If you enable debugging in your SWF and use a debug version of the flash
player, then you can use the "Profile external application" option.
After selecting that, select "Launch the application manually outside
Flex Builder" and hit "Launch".

If you have trouble, try using a different browser and/or changing the
port number under preferences->Flex->Profiler->Connections.

Hope that helps!

Good question. I haven't tried that yet.

What you could try to do, off the top of my head, is use the

[Flashcoders] AS2 class definition problem, Gaia framework

[Jim McIntyre]

I'm working in a framework for the first time (Gaia). I'll be 
including games on some of the site's "pages," and most of the games 
will need to load a few external SWFs.


In the (AS2) class file for the page I'm trying to modify, I'm trying 
to add this code inside the class constructor function (which is 
provided in the Gaia AS template), so that the SWF is loaded when the 
page is initialized:


--code begins--
  private var posterMc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip('posterMc',100);
  this.posterMc.loadMovie('adv_saleposter.swf');
--code ends--

The second line of the above code is producing a compile error that 
says "This statement is not permitted in a class definition." (The 
script is actually full of lines that produce the same error, which 
indicates I'm way off base.)


Can someone help me pull my head out of my AS2 and tell me what's 
wrong with my approach? I'm sure this points to a bigger design 
problem than I realize...

   Sorry I see you are using Flash not Flex, I gotta stop doing that.

   If you are using Flash, just changing the rotation should work 
straight away - you will see it on screen - don't worry about validateNow()


   (If you are using Flex and change properties of a UIComponent, you 
may need to call validateNow on that component before it updates the 
display, hence other properties.)


   To be honest, Pythagoras is easier and more robust than this and if 
you are programming graphics, it should be in your arsenal - see the 
other guys' reply for a solution, but have a go at working it out first 
if you can.

Can you point me to any examples of how to use validateNow() as ive looked 
through Flash Help/Livedocs and cant seam to figure out how its used!

  Do you know the rotation?

  2 ways to do this:

  Either rotate the image back to 0 if it can be done - if you do this you 
  will need to call validateNow() on the instance after changing values, 
  read the new w2, etc.  then rotate it back...


  Or do some pythagoras

  w2 is the hypotenuse of one triangle.
  h2 is the hyp of another...

  You can work the rest out :)

RE: [Flashcoders] { AS3 } Reading position info X, Y, H & W

[Pete Hotchkiss]

Surely - by Pythagoras

w2 = square root of (width - x)^2 + (x2 - x)^2

Also might help to know the _rotation angle of the containing element
