[Flashcoders] Flash Hardware Video Encoders
We are doing a live webcast event and I am wondering if you guys have any experience/insight with hardware encoders that support Flash VP6 encoding. The ones I am looking at in particular are the XStream series from kulabyte http://kulabyte.com/index.php/main/product_xstream/ and the StreamZ Live encoders series: http://www.digital-rapids.com/Products/IndividualProducts/StreamZ%20Live.aspx Any insight on using Flash Media Encoder for a live webcast would be appreciated as well, Jason ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Zipping in AS3
Hey Claus, one of the reasons I can't use it is because of its inability to work with a .zip file created on Mac OSX. The other reason, is that I've attempted to use it to write out a .zip file, and I can't get it to produce a valid .zip file. I've even tried loading in a .zip, and then saving it out directly, and that doesn't seem to work. I have only tested this with AIR, so I assume I don't need to be testing this with a .zip file that contains the Adler32 checksum. Do you have a working example of this working with FZip? If so, I'd love to take a look at it. Thanks! It is true that FZip can't read ZIPs created with the MAC OS X Archive utility, or any ZIP that makes us of data descriptors. For your other problem, i created a very simple Flex AIR app that tests roundtripping (creates a ZIP and loads it back in): http://codeazur.com.br/lab/fzip/examples/RoundTrip.mxml Works here.. And yes, in AIR the Adler32 limitation doesn't apply, so you should be able to load any ZIP (minus those that make use of data descriptors). You only need the injection hack if you use FZip in the plugin (and if i recall right Flash Player 10 is going to fix that but i didn't find the time to check).

AS3 Zip from nochump avoids the alder32 issue by implementing the deflate() mechanism in software. http://nochump.com/blog/?p=15 It's not as fast as the native bytearray methods though (which only works in AIR anyway). The only thing you might have to deal with is re-writing the parsing routines so that you don't get a script timeout error on large zip archives.

You just can't, Flash CS3 doesn't support the format. There's nothing else to be said. H264 support was added later, when the IDE had already shipped. Flash 9.x.115 supports it because it was added later, but the player is not the editor. Zeh On Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 1:53 PM, Matthew Ganz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for your response, Steven.

[Flashcoders] Problems creating a drag and drop
Hi there,
I am having problems with my event listener for my drag and drop.
Sometimes it detects the mouse up event and sometimes it doesn't and
won't let go of the object (stopDrag). Have any of you ever run into
this? If so, is there a fix?
Basically I have this coding...
function stopDragging(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(mouse up)
// There is more function code I just didn't want to paste
it all in.
}
Triggered by:
for (i= 0; i aButtons.length; i++) {
aButtons[i].mouseChildren = false;
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
startDragging);
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragging);
}

Hi,
It could be because your mouse up is outside the stage - I have had

Re: [Flashcoders] Problems creating a drag and drop
Hey Glen when you say your mouse up is outside the stage do you mean
that the mouse up is occurring outside of the dragged object in which
case the object catching the up event is the stage object. (Rest of
your sentence seems to imply that.)
Susan, if you imagine your cursor moving faster than the drag object
can keep up then what happens is the mouse up occurs outside of the
object but since there is no built in mouseUpOutside event you are
going to have to build your own. If you google senocular as3
mouseupoutside you should get some good hits on tutorials explaining
how to use the stage object to catch these mouse up events.

Re: [Flashcoders] addChild multiple instances of a loader
If img.jpg is on the same server as your swf, you wont have a problem.
Otherwise you would need a crossdomain.xml.
From the top of my head you could do something like this:
function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void
{
var bitmap:Bitmap = Bitmap(_loader.content);
var clone1:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmap.bitmapData);
target1.addChild(clone1);
var clone2:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmap.bitmapData);
target2.addChild(clone2);
}
I am not sure if 2 Bitmap instances allow you to use the same bitmap
data. If that is not the case you could just copy the bitmap data.
This would however use more memory, so I would try the above thing
first.

Re: [Flashcoders] Pause/Play a swf
Yes it is, but, erm, it's really hard to answer your question because
there is no one way to implement it and, I have no idea how your
scripted movie clips are running themselves...
If each of your sub movies has a function that starts/pauses the
playback, then you can simply have the parent MC call the currently
loaded scripted MC's pause/play function.
Something like:
Main clip:
this.loadedClip.pausePlay()
And inside of the sub movie (container):
public function pausePlay ():Boolean
{
this.stop();
//do something to pause playback, in this case just 'stop()' but
depending on how you wrote this code, it might be something else like
resetTimer(); or ...
return true;
//if successful or if paused [depending on what you wan to
//check when debugging]
}
Hope this helps a little.
:)

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 additions/changes in CS4?
The idea of strongly typed arrays is to catch errors at compile time
that otherwise might crop up at runtime.
Untyped:
var arr:Array=[];
arr.push(new Button());
arr.push(123);
for (var i:int=0;iarr.length;i++)
{
var b:Button=arr[i]; // Works fine when i=0. Runtime error when i=1;
}
Typed
var arr:Array.Button=[];
arr.push(new Button());
arr.push(123); // Won't compile, as the compiler knows that things in
arr must be Button
var b:Button=arr[0];
var c:Number=arr[1]; // Won't compile, as the compiler knows that
things in arr must be Button
-
See? In short, typing the array means that (as far as it is possible
to do so) the compiler will ensure that the items you put into the
array are of the correct type, and because it knows the type of
objects stored in the array it will do strict type checking when
retrieving values from the array.
This is the same as generics in Java, C# or haXe and as templates in C++.
(Why on earth the ECMA team decided on the odd Collection.type
syntax rather than the standard Collectiontype syntax, I have no
idea. The extra dot feels completely superfluous.)
Hope that makes sense,
Ian

Re: [Flashcoders] Problems creating a drag and drop
Hi,
Have a look at this tutorial:
http://www.monkeyflash.com/flash/drag-and-drop-in-as3/
You may want to be looking at / checking if event.target.dropTarget
for the MOUSE_UP handler.
This post gives you a better idea about MOUSE_LEAVE:
http://www.ericd.net/2007/09/mouseleave-annoyance.html
Basically, if your mouse leaves the stage area I would suggest
dropping what you are dragging - look at the currentTarget of the
MOUSE_LEAVE event for the draggee rather than target, which will be
the stage.

Thanks for the information. I think that may be part of my problem. I
tried out the code on that site and Flash does not like the following
circle.contains(event.target)
If I take that out the code runs, but of course doesn't work.
Does anyone know where I can find a good example on how to do a drag and
drop in as3? I never had issues with this in 2.
Thanks!
Susan

You might need to add the releaseOutside hack for AS3, since there
is no releaseOutside anymore:

Hi there,
I am having problems with my event listener for my drag and drop.
Sometimes it detects the mouse up event and sometimes it doesn't and
won't let go of the object (stopDrag). Have any of you ever run into
this? If so, is there a fix?
Basically I have this coding...
function stopDragging(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(mouse up)
// There is more function code I just didn't want to paste
it all in.
}
Triggered by:
for (i= 0; i aButtons.length; i++) {
aButtons[i].mouseChildren = false;
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
startDragging);
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
stopDragging);
}
Any ideas?

Well, no. That stops the movie clip, but not a timer inside the movie clip. On Sep 24, 2008, at 1:16 PM, David Cohn wrote: Jim, Do you want something like this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Pause/Play a swf
This is getting very deep for me. The movie clips have timers that
would have to stop, and I don't know I would tell a timer to stop and
resume that is running in another movie clip. Perhaps I've built this
wrong.

If each of your sub movies has a function that starts/pauses the
playback, then you can simply have the parent MC call the currently
loaded scripted MC's pause/play function.
Something like:
Main clip:
this.loadedClip.pausePlay()
And inside of the sub movie (container):
public function pausePlay ():Boolean
{
this.stop();
//do something to pause playback, in this case just 'stop()' but
depending on how you wrote this code, it might be something else
like resetTimer(); or ...
return true;
//if successful or if paused [depending on what you wan to
//check when debugging]
}
Hope this helps a little.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 additions/changes in CS4?
Yeah, I get tired of doing this just to get code completion: var thisCustomObject:CustomObject = myObjects[i] as CustomObject; thisCustomObject.alpha = .5 Besides the obvious type checking benefits, with Vectors, I won't have to do it that way anymore to get good code completion from what I have read about them since the array knows the types it contains. From what I understand about them anyway, haven't had a chance to use them yet.

Re: [Flashcoders] Pause/Play a swf
It's not that complicated once you get your head around it.
If you can write a function that stops and starts your movie from INSIDE
the movie, then you can call that same function from OUTSIDE of it, just
by referencing the name of the MC and then the function you want to call.
So break it into steps, to make it simple and thus achievable:
1. figure out how to start and stop timers
2. put that in a function
3. test the function w/i the MC by having it call its own function
4. put that movie in the holding MC and then do another test to call
that function, see same results
5. skin your function in the holding MC as a button, interface etc.
Good luck!
