Re: [Flashcoders] flv on fb servers not loading in ie only

[Juan Pablo Califano]

Very weird.

As you have noticed, it seems facebook is not serving the file under some
circumstances (it returns a 404 http error code)

I could make it fail consistently if:

1) The referer is set and is in a "non facebook" domain

AND

2) The user agent is IE.

I got the request to work if I set the referer to
http://www.facebook.com/and leaving the user-agent as IE, for
instance.

It also worked, if I kept the original referer but used the same user-agent
as Chrome:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US)
AppleWebKit/534.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/6.0.472.62 Safari/534.3

I'm not sure if there's any work around from Actionscript, I'm afraid, as
you have very limited control over the request headers sent to the server.
I'm pretty sure you just can't change the user-agent or the referer.

The only alternative I can think of is proxying your request through some
server you control. But that of course negates the benefits of using
facebook's CDN infrastructure and for your server traffic and load it would
be worse that just hosting the video yourself in the first place.

I'm sorry this isn't of much help, but I can think of any other work around.

Let us know if you find something else.

 I'm sorry to gum up  this thread (I'm so happy to be back in

my objects are GPU accelerated. Good info here (despite the whining).


I'll reply to this thread with more info when I get it.

Re: [Flashcoders] flv on fb servers not loading in ie only

[jared stanley]

thanks.

I think the problem has been isolated,

on the URLRequest, the response is as follows:

http://pastebin.com/AmwCtAcD

in there, the 'referer' param is causing the file to 404 - if we remove it
then the video loads correctly.

anyone have any idea on how to either set that param(not possible i think)
or else modify it once it's loaded before it's processed?

thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Apple changes their guidelines

[Kevin Newman]

 I have to be honest, the only reason I haven't jumped ship to Unity3D 
is because 1, it's a lot of new to learn, and I find time scarce, and 2, 
the free version doesn't have the ability to output iphone apps, and 
especially not from a PC - which is to say, I don't have the time or 
money to purchase and learn a bunch of new platforms (it's not for lack 
of interest).


If it's on the table, I can't see why not to switch to Unity3D - unless 
you are betting on the rumored (confirmed?) new Rendering Engine Adobe's 
got in the works - but idk, I hope they impress.

Re: [Flashcoders] Apple changes their guidelines

[Kevin Newman]

 I've been attempting to tackle the same issues, and would love a lot 
more info, if there is any available, on how to get the framerates to be 
stable.


I've actually had a bit of luck, and I'm currently operating on the 
theory that the problem lies with memory allocation/deallocation and the 
garbage collector. This seems to apply to any situation where the player 
might create objects that will have to be collected - including events 
(the event object - passed on dispatch), and maybe even functions in 
general (args array?) - and certain built in methods like hitTestObject, 
or txtFld.htmlText. Constructors are a killer.


I'm in the process of refactoring this: 
http://www.unfocus.com/unBrix.html to aggressively remove all reliance 
on black box APIs (like hitTestObject) and create 0 (zero) new objects 
per frame, except the two event objects (ENTER_FRAME and possibly 
RENDER) and touch/mouse events.


I should be done with that tonight, and then I'll have a better idea of 
what kind of impact that has if any on the performance, and most 
importantly on the lag spikes (for lack of a better term).


In general, I'll also note that Frash (the hacked Android player on iOS) 
works far better in terms of scripting than the iPhone compiler - I hope 
the recent changes in Apple's ToS means that Adobe can just ship AVM2 
and skip all this AOT compilation, since AVM2 from what I can tell, 
performs better anyway (it should help make the compile times bearable too).


From what I'm seeing, the scripting has a definite impact on 
performance, much more than the folks at Adobe are letting on (maybe 
they aren't aware?).

IMHO, Apple has actually messed up on this one again.

Yikes - I figured it out - one of the xml nodes was passing: 24.06,

when it is expecting a number - so the , is throwing it off - and sending this 
particular mc way north as far as the y is concerned thus making the parent 
Sprite way bigger than it should be

If you "cancel" the TextFormat you should be able to apply textColor, i.e.

_label.setStyle("textFormat", new TextFormat(null, null, null));
_label.textField.textColor = 0xff;

But then you may as well just do:

_label.setStyle("textFormat", new TextFormat(null, null, 0xff));

   _label.textField.backgroundColor = 0x00FF00;
   _label.textField.text = 'should be red';
   addChild(_label);


this is not working either.

Yes, I've tried several things (changing order of setting text/color)
and I'm aware of the TextFormat workaround, but still would like  
to get

textColor working since I only need to change the color in my app.

Alex

Re: [Flashcoders] fl.controls.Label.textField.textColor not working

Try

_label.textField.label = 'should be red';

Best,

I think you were assigning your text to _label not _label.textField.
Is this what you wanted?

Try

   var _label:Label = new Label();
   _label.textField.textColor = 0xFF;
   _label.textField.background = true;
   _label.textField.backgroundColor = 0x00FF00;
   _label.textField.text = 'should be red';

Re: [Flashcoders] fl.controls.Label.textField.textColor not working

[Alexander Farber]

Unfortunately there is no "html" property, and even this is not working:

var _label:Label = new Label();
_label.textField.background = true;
_label.textField.backgroundColor = 0x00FF00;

_label.textField.textColor = 0xFF;
_label.textField.text = "should be red";
_label.textField.htmlText = "should be red";
_label.text = "should be red";
_label.htmlText = "should be red";
_label.textField.textColor = 0xFF;

addChild(_label);

(Yes, I'm aware of TextFormat and ... workarounds,
but wonder why is textField.backgroundColor working and textColor is not)

Re: [Flashcoders] fl.controls.Label.textField.textColor not working

Quite possibly could be that you need to set a html text field too.

_label.textField.html = true;
_label.textField.htmlText = "should be red";
