Re: [Flashcoders] FLV export - size(w, h) vs data rate
Hi, Normally on larger commercial sites, you usually have a few different versions of videos and the code/cookies determines what kind of speed you have on computer/network and load the correct video to match your ability to play the video. As far as a single big file like you have, i would look into the Akamai settings and see if you could increase the buffer a bit so it loads in more of the video before it plays. And also make sure the site/video player you have is optimized and supports streaming video, especially of a video size like that. Hope that helps.

It's playing fine on large computers w/fast connections; Needless to say it's getting chugging on slower/older setups. I would like to enable the range of computers it works on by optimizing the video. which one of the following would work better: 1. shrink the data rate from like 850kbps to like 550kbps 2.export the video at like 800x400 and then stretch it up. Obviously I could just try this, but I'm wondering what the logic behind it is and if there are any best practices.

Re: [Flashcoders] Playing Flash video in slow-motion
You might need to look onto a streaming option that way you can feed the Flv in a much better way Andy Sent from my iPhone On Mar 13, 2009, at 4:08 PM, Adam Duston a...@langolab.com wrote: Andy, This is an excellent suggestion. However, there is a detail that I failed to share at first which results in a couple of disadvantages: the video must play at normal speed usually and have a slow button that slows down playing. The resulting disadvantages: 1. When the slow button is clicked, the player needs to load the slow FLV, so it will have to buffer for a few seconds first. 2. When the slow button is clicked and the slow FLV finishes loading and buffering, the player will need to seek to the nearest keyframe. So the user will click the slow button and, depending on the keyframe metadata, the video might end up playing in slow motion starting from a few seconds earlier. Any ideas about circumventing these downsides? Thanks again for your suggestion. In spite of its obviousness I honestly hadn't thought of it before.

[Flashcoders] Hi List!
I have a scenario that I try to figure out, don't know if it is possible yet, but maybe someone here on the list knows if it is? Scenario are: I have a couple of dynamic text fields and input text fields where people write comments, send messages, display messages/blogs etc... And it goes to the server and returns back to the flash app (everything works fine) but, I don't want people to paste or write HTML tags in the messages etc.. But if they do I want flash to filter/block those tags out to display in the flash app. So when the text gets back into the flash app, it should only contain real text, no HTML tags at all! Is that possible?

[Flashcoders] Anyone had this problem?
Hi List,
I have a problem, might be a silly thing but I can't get my head around
this.
Problem:
I have a master.swf that has a dynamic textfield ( containerObject_txt) on
stage, and it loads the sub.swf into that specific dynamic textfield and
html is set to true.
It loads fine but the scroll won't work, I've tried bunch of different ideas
and none seems to work in this case.
Ideas???
Andy
//Master swf///
//Create the string
var myString_str:String = img src='sub.swf' width='277' height='98'
align='left';
//Put the text
containerObject_txt.htmlText = myString_str;
//Control The scroll
up_btn.onPress = function() {
if(containerObject_txt.scroll != 0) {
containerObject_txt.scroll--;
}
}
down_btn.onPress = function() {
if(containerObject_txt.scroll containerObject_txt.maxscroll) {
containerObject_txt.scroll ++;
}

[Flashcoders] Is it possible?
Hi everyone! I have a scenario were I'd like to create a flash app that works similar to what my Space does with their friends list. Ex would be: Person A has 3 friends, Person B has 7 friends so by looking at someone's profile you would see how many friends they have. By default flash would be setup to trigger the (in this case) WEB SERVICE and return an ARRAY that contains the info for that profile and also display the results It's not a problem to delegate the arrays out and create container to display the friends list or whatever comes back from the web service in an array if you would know by default how many friends someone had or if, let's say you were only allowed to display 4 friends, but everything will dynamically loaded so during a day it number of friends could change, just like my space. // Here's the Problem So is it possible that after you have received the arrays from the database (web service) and looping through the array to get the actual data and let flash create a container/containers dynamically and delegate and name them depending on the results from the web service call? So if Person A has 3 Friends, Person B has 7 friends etc... how would flash create the containers for Person A, B, C ? I might be a little confusing here when I try to explain, but I don't know any other way to describe my problem. I've tried to search the web to se if this had been done before and I didn't find anything . If someone has an idea or want more in detail about this problem like code I'd gladly share my stuff.

I want to create a menu that holds a main Nav and Sub Nav (Horizontal), no problem with that, but upon my clients request they want to use a web service call to get the data from the server (works fine, triggering etc..) but the problem is that the web service returns a long list of arrays, containing the NAV NAMES etc.. So my problem is to get the arrays into the menu, works fine if using TextArea comp, but it won't help me, cause I need the arrays to show up inside the (buttons) in the menu.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to get Arrays from a web service call into a menu nav?
Hi Jason,
Thanks again,
One last try,
The snippet of code I gave you were the raw WSDL, when looking at it through
the web browser, but I'll give you the structure of it how it looks
returning into flash using the wsconn instead of writing the complete as
code it for now. This is the first nav item.
Identities : NavItem
Name : Sring
SubNav : Array
[n] : NavItem
Like I said earlier there are no problem to get the arrays to show the exact
info inside an TextArea Comp, but to use the same info inside for example, a
menu button or xml menu with dynamic text??

I'm lost translating that to an Actionscript object based on that

what it looks like:
