[Flashcoders] This is really really really annoying

2007-02-23 Thread Dan Styles

I've reset the password, i've logged in and changed my options to reflect
the fact that I WANT A DIGEST (AGAIN)

It _seemed_ to accept my request, yet i'm still getting individual messages
from the mailing list...

this is NOT A DIGEST! I DONT WANT individual messages...

I like being part of the lst and don't want to have to unsubscribe because
it got annoying. please fix whatever needs to be fixed.
thanks.

[Flashcoders] Re: Rotating a comboBox

2007-01-22 Thread Dan Styles

Brandon,
I'd suggest you look into making your own version of the combo box.  A few
movieclips and some dynamic Textfields... and you'll have your own version
that does what you require it to do, and will be re-usable, probably coded
in a more logical way.

The flash components, in general, suck. especially the v2 components. There
are so many problems. I really don't use them if i can manage without them.
I suggest you do the same!

Dan Styles.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Rotating a comboBox
Whenever I rotate a v2 component comboBox on and click the arrow, the
dropdown still appears as though the comboBox was not rotated. Is there
any easy way to have this appear rotated as well?

[Flashcoders] RE: FLVPLAYBACK COMPONENT

2007-01-18 Thread Dan Styles

I had a problem like this recently
Try without the .flv part... you may not need the extension when using Flash
Media Server

also check this:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15catid=578threadid=1228512enterthread=y
and this:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/3495.html

QUOTE:
I recently went through this difficulty with Flash Media Server 2 (not the
earlier FCS), in order to get the FLV Playback component to stream videos
using FMS2 from another folder not under the default applications folder,
you'll need to map a virtual directory by altering vHost.xml kept in this
location: Flash Media Server 2/conf/_defaultRoot_/_defaultVHost_/vHost.xml

In vHost.xml there is a tag VirtualDirectory and under that Streams.

When you add a virtual directory to FMS2 you should add to the streams tag
something like this:

VirtualDirectory
Streamsbar;C:\streams/Streams
VirtualDirectory

Then you'll need to add a folder under the default applications directory of
FMS (or whatever custom applications directory you're using) with whatever
name you choose (say for example foo), then make sure you place the
main.asc for the FLVPlayback component which ships with Flash 8 in this new
folder, you can find this main.asc file in the location given in the doc
above. No streams should go in this foo folder, and no extra subfolders
are needed here, but your streams (in this example) should be located at
c:\streams

Then when playing back a .flv (called, for example yourVid.flv) using the
FLVPlayback component, the contentPath should be something like this:

rtmp://localhost/foo/bar/yourVid.flv

FMS connects first to localhost (or whatever IP the streaming server is
located), then checks the app name foo,finding it, it then looks for a
virtual mapping, if any, in this case bar, then finding the path mapped
out in the vHost.xml to C:\streams it gets the flv file yourVid.flv from
the folder c:\streams.

END QUOTE


YOU WROTE:
I can't get the FLVPlayback component to display the streamed videos
that are working fine with the MediaPlayback component.  For the latter,
I use

setMedia(rtmp:/LT/myfile.flv)

but there is no setMedia command for FLVPlayback, only contentPath, and
setting it to the above doesn't work, nor did setting contentPath =
rtmp://server address/LT/myfile.flv  or rtmp://server
address/LT/stream/_definst_/myfile.flv  -- the video never shows up.
Any suggestions?

Helen

[Flashcoders] Re: Flashcoders Digest, Vol 24, Issue 27

2007-01-16 Thread Dan Styles

I bought this thing.. MultiPowUpload - from element-it.com - and it uses the
Alert component.. yet nothing i seem to do to change the Alert window styles
seems to work.. no idea why.. it seems they did some fiddling with the
standard halo button code for some reason - would this affect the Alert
window styling? so annoyed right now

do i really have to open:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Configuration\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes\mx\controls\Alert.as

and then the movieclip names... create my own and export with the new names
i used in the edited Alert.as ??? hope that made sense.
grrr

[Flashcoders] Media Components, FLV and MP3

2006-06-27 Thread Dan Styles

Hi there,
I'm parsing an XML Playlist which can apparently have both FLV, MP3 and JPG
files in it. I'm somehow expected to 'play' all of these media types. My
first thought is to have an instance of the media display, FLV player and a
movieclip for the jpgs and to use a switch case statement - i have a
filetype node in the XML so i was thinking... dependent on the 3 letter
extension - depends on which frame of the player clip i jump to and then
load and play the media as needed? sound right? what would you guys do?
thanks.

[Flashcoders] Flash XML/CMS

2006-05-31 Thread Dan Styles

Matt,
why doesn't he make his own? It's not hard and would show off his skills as
a designer. He'd be able to control design and functionality, would learn
how to make a simple CMS (i use SQLPHPXML), he'd increase his value as a
designer/developer, improve his skillset and would be safe in the knowledge
that it was all his own work and could draw satisfaction from a  job well
done! It may not be as quick and is not the easy way out.. but its far
better in my opinion.
D.S


A friend who is a designer is looking for a good, easy to use Flash based
CMS/XML driven to show off work, can anyone recommend anything?

thanks

MaTT
