[Flashcoders] Building ActionScript-Only State-of-the-Art Video Players -- An In-Depth How-To Code Walkthrough (Using Codebase of Open Source Strobe Media Playback)
Flash Player 10.1 introduced vital new video delivery options: - HTTP Dynamic Streaming (Live and VoD) - RTMFP Groups for Peer Assisted Multicasting (Live) - Flash Access DRM Support (Live and VoD) Each of these 3 new delivery options requires significant logic client-side in the video player. Adobe is providing all required client-side logic via open source projects: OSMF and Strobe Media Playback. With Flash Player now on mobile and devices (Google TV, AIR for TV) it is now important to integrate support for these new APIs into video players. Wednesday November 17 at 12:00 noon PDT the OSMF User Grouphttp://osmf.groups.adobe.com/is hosting an online code walk-through of the open source Strobe Media Playback http://osmf.org/strobe_mediaplayback.html video player codebase. The code walk-through will be led by Andrian Cucuhttp://be.linkedin.com/pub/andrian-cucu/1/318/9a9who is Adobe's Project Leader on the Flash and Strobe Media Playback video player project. Strobe Media Playback also supports OSMF's plug-in architecture. Current plug-ins include partners for advertising, analytics, CDNs and others.

I'm encountering an odd problem in as3/fp9-10 when dealing with embedded
fonts, condensed whitespace, style sheet objects and br / tags. I wanted
to see if you guys have heard of it or can verify it as a bug.
I have a textfield set up as such. The intent is to remove all p tag
indents and get fully left justified text with paragraphs having larger
leading than individual lines :
var myTF:TextField = new TextField();
myTF.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
myTF.embedFonts = true;
myTF.condenseWhite = true;
myTF.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
myTF.multiline = true;
myTF.wordwrap = true;
myTF.styleSheet = myStyleSheet;
The stylesheet is an imported .css file and below is the html imported from
an .xml file and protected by a CDATA tag:
h2About Us/h2br /
p class=normalstrongLorem/strong ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur/pbr /
p class=normalLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur./pbr /
p class=normalLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur./pbr /
p class=normalLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur./p
The result is fully left justified text but the br / tags are ignored.
Each paragraph does start on a new line but directly below the the previous.
I decided to try a version of the css clear break trick used in xhtml which
produced the results I wanted but for no discernible reason.
I created this style in the .css file,
.lineBreak {
leading: 20;
}
and altered ONLY the first br / tag to this p class=lineBreak /
The weird thing is that not only did the first paragraph get the correct
amount of space, they all did. For some reason, an empty styled p / tag
caused the following br / tags to be recognized.
Thoughts?

Had he checked against 0, at least this method could have been used as a

He also had the chutzpah to put this method in our core library, in a class
conveniently named VarUtils, so the whole team could benefit from it.
To add insult to injury, he had a very personal take on hungarian notation
and code formatting as well. Not to mention he was also in the tabs should
be 8 spaces here, there and everywhere, and if you and the rest of the world
use 4 spaces, rest asured I will reformat any such piece of crap as soon as

Re: [Flashcoders] How to add a DisplayObject into a container without using addChild() method.
Steven,
Maybe its just me but...
Just doing a Boolean check on DisplayObjects always put my scripts in
high risk of runtime errors.
Especially in the case of cleanup operations.
Sometimes I might have a function that attempts removing a DisplayObject
that has not been added to the stage or has already been removed.
So I check if the stage property is null for almost all cases now.
var myDO:Sprite=new Sprite();
try {
//if (myDO) { //Creates runtime error
if (myDO myDO.stage != null) {
myDO.parent.removeChild(myDO);
}
} catch (e:Error) {
trace(e.message);
}

write MORE code in another class obscuring the behavior that is going

You're going to write addChild either way, why make it more
complicated than it needs to be?
Always follow the KISS principle.
BTW, Ekameleon, you should use
if (target)

It always traces -1. This code should trace the index of the Array
element right? for ex: 0, 1, 2 or 3.
If i do this, it will trace the correct name of the element.
function buttonClicked(e:Event):void {
trace (e.target.name);
If I do this, it will trace the name of the second element:
function buttonClicked(e:Event):void {
trace (buttonsArray[1].name);
Why indexOf doesn´t work properly?

Re: [Flashcoders] textField fed htmlText renders title
Hi sebastian,
s = string and t = tag - that should help with using the function...
Well, I can briefly explain it.
It begins by checking whether you passed in for a string is actually a
string. I had this function hooked into a data driven series of processes,
so the actual string I was working with was on occasion null...
We set the tag var t to upper case, and set the string we are stripping to
upper case since lastIndexOf is a case sensitive method. Note that we don't
actually change the string - we assign the upper case version of the string
to upString. oT and cT are open tag and close tag. We don't need for those
strings since we want to hit / as well as for self closing tags. i is our
index, we set it to the end of the string since we will be going in reverse.
I think I had originally done this to avoid throwing off the current index
when going through the string (this would happen since the string length
would change) but no longer seems relevant. In any case, it should be no
different than going forward since we copy the string to begin with.
I can see how it might have gotten confusing when I used a, b, c, and d as
index vars. I used to code like this, and I sometimes still do when I don't
think anyone will need to read the code but less so than I used to. It's
also sometimes easier to think with arbitrary vars instead of trying to
categorize them.
So, we start by defining c and d, which are the open and close tags we are
looking for. var a serves as the tag closer to the end of the string. If a
is -1 that just means that the opening or closing tag was never there to
begin with, or has been completely removed. Now that I look at this, I don't
think we need else there :) break would skip the rest of loop...
So, we run indexOf on starting from a to get the end of the tag and
assign the result to b. We then set the string to the substring that is the
beginning of the string to a, to the substring starting from b to the end of
the string. This removes the tag...
But not the content between the tag... Good thing you made me go through
this again sebastian :S
Eh...
function stripTagAndContent(s:String, t:String):String {
if(typeof(s) == 'string'){
t = t.toUpperCase();
var i:Number = s.length-1, oT:String = ''+t, cT:String = '/'+t,
upString:String = s.toUpperCase();
while(true){
var otIndex:Number = upString.lastIndexOf(oT, i);
var ctIndex:Number = upString.lastIndexOf(cT, i);
if(otIndex+ctIndex == -2) break;
if(otIndexctIndex) ctIndex = otIndex; //this is self closing or
dangling
var endIndex:Number = s.indexOf('', ctIndex)+1;
s = s.substring(0, otIndex) + s.substring(endIndex, s.length);
i = otIndex-1;
}
} else s = '';
return s;
}
This one should be easier to read too :)

Re: [Flashcoders] Removing loaded swf...
Hmm, Loader.unload() only removes the content from the loader object. It
might be a good idea to remove it from the container you are adding it to.
Make sure currentPage has no listeners to objects outside of its own scope,
or objects inside of its scope listening to anything out of its scope, or
objects outside of its scope referencing anything inside of its scope, and
all streams closed when you unload. Always clean up timers and enterframe
listeners from the swf being loaded. It is a good idea to have a deinit()
like method that you call for clean up. I think you're okay if you're
cleanly in general :)
Here is a nice article about System.gc(), it might be helpful:

Re: [Flashcoders] Odd compiler errors in CS3
Have any swc components in the library that could be causing it? Are there
any other classes in your class path?
If it's as simple as you've described, maybe you should create a new fla and
move code and timelines over little by little - when the new fla begins
throwing the errors, you will know what it is.
Another way to debug it would be to comment out all document class code and
make layers guides. If it compiles then re-enable parts of the fla slowly to
find the issue.

Re: [Flashcoders] Odd compiler errors in CS3
I think if your Flex main source folder is the project root (just blank) and not something like src or source, your .fla document class will be part of the flex project classes... If the document class was at the root of the main source folder, the document class would be considered an application class by Flex, and Flex classes would be part of the . classpath of the .fla. This is kind of silly, but if all these assumptions hold true, it is possible that there might have been a swc or name space conflict between your Flex project source and the Flash CS3 core classes $(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/Classes. Just a thought... H On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 4:25 PM, Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So I got it fixed, but it's still perplexing.

Re: [Flashcoders] Binary Data Question
Compress it to a PNG or a JPEG - these formats will output a tidy ByteArray for you.

I think you're calling these methods on the Class main_site.
Try this:

main_site_instance.addEventListener(bk2globe, bk2globeListener);

Re: [Flashcoders] Using Copy Motion to Actionscript 3.0 Document Class
I actually ran into the same issue when I first used this... Another thing to look out for is FileReference. I haven't tested anything outside of the following case, so I don't really know the rules surrounding the cause. Well, if you define FileReference inside the same function body that you call download()/upload() - it will fail. You get an I/O Error... In this case, when the function defining FileReference is finished executing, the reference to the FileReference instance is gone, so it should have a reference count of 0. This leads me to believe that the issue is some how linked to garbage collection. What is strange is that this doesn't cause any other classes that have asynchronous methods to misbehave (Loader, URLLoader.) Stranger yet, callbacks to IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR are still invoked. I've yet to run this with the Profiler to see what is going on...

Nice. It works if you place the code on the timeline/frame. Fantastic. But to really put this to use, I need it to work in a class... So, I created a simple fla, with a document class (I know it's wired up correctly, with a trace(crack) in the constructor, which is coming back.

Then I stumbled on this from : http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/motion/Animator.html If you plan to call methods of the Animator class within a function, declare the Animator instance outside of the function so the scope of the object is not restricted to the function itself. If you declare the instance within a function, Flash Player deletes the Animator instance at the end of the function as part of Flash Player's routine garbage collection and the target object will not animate. So that's it! The animator instance must be a global member to the class... and presto! It works.

Re: [Flashcoders] Integrating Flash SWFs with Flex
Hi Matt, First, Flex 2 is AS3 only. So if you intend your interactive charting widget to integrate with Flex create it in Flash CS3 using AS3. (The background is ... In Flash Player, AS3 runs in its own AVM2 (ActionScript Virtual Machine 2). AVM2 exists only in Flash Player 9 and higher. In Flash Player 9, AS1/AS2 runs in what is retroactively being called AVM1. The issue is, there is a firewall between AVM1 and AVM2. That is, properties and methods on objects in AVM1 can not be directly called by AS in AVM2, and vice versa.) Second, you wrote Flex is a language for tying together individual Flash components into an overall UI/RIA. Actually Flex is: a) a component library; b) at authortime components can be instantiated with using either ActionScript, or via tag based declarative MXML. (By comparison, in the Flash IDE components can be instantiated using ActionScript or by dragging them on the stage and using the property inspector to set their values). So just think of Flex as an extensive set of Flash components with a tag based option for instantiating them. And, Flex has no drawing tools, no timelines, etc. Third, Flex 2 has charting components. And they are extensible. Just straight Object Oriented ActionScript. I don't know how customized your requirement is, but you might be able to extend one of the Flex 2 Charting Components. To get a sense of the charting components, check out the Flex 2 Component Explorer at the following link at the bottom of the component tree expand Charts: http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/explorer/explorer.html Fourth, the official name for the FlexComponentKit that Troy referred to is: Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 Prof copy: missing Tree component.
Ian, thank you for the link on Robert Taylor's FlashInterface. Regarding Scott's intuitive response, the responses by Austin, Muzak and Ian pretty much tell the story. When I used the word stupefying the other day this is what I meant. Just to recap: AS2 to AS3 - At runtime can only integrate through external APIs - Only a small subset of AS2 components got rev'ed up to AS3 - leaving Flash application developers a choice of staying at AS2, building their own AS3 components, programming to lower level APIs in AS3, or integrating Flex into their workflow/architecture. Anyway, since Flex 2 is AS3 only, Flash/Flex developers have been confronted for a full year now with the runtime firewall between AVM1 and AVM2. None has been more eloquent in analyzing this than Jesse Warden. See in particular the following among his posts: Integrating a Flash Interface into Flex 2 http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2006/12/integrating_a_f.html Here is an excerpt. To make the relevance of Jesse's original Flash/Flex comments apparent to our current AS2/AS3 discussion, in the excerpt I use square brackets to replace Jesse's original references to Flash and Flex with [AS2] and [AS3]. I will include Jesse's original, unedited language at the end. Of course, see Jesse's original post for his full analysis. EXCERPT: Why Integration? ... For security various other engineering reasons, the AVM's cannot talk to each other. This results in a SWF written in [AS2] not being able to talk to a [AS3] SWF. The need for doing such is that the [Flash AS2 components] allows creation of design content that [Flash AS3 components] cannot create on it's own. ... There are a few solutions out there. ... Another is to utilize a small set of classes to communicate via LocalConnection. ... A third one is to utilize ExternalInterface. ... So, why not use one of the above methods. First off, [since the AS2 components are a complete component set (including data components), the AS2 components] is powerful; it's not just a design asset. So, simply being loaded in isn't good enough for some functionality; [AS2] [AS3] need to talk. Secondly, LocalConnection isn't syncronous, and doesn't have good error checking. This makes debugging long and frustrating. Third, Externalnterface uses JavaScript. You've now gone from 2 languages to 3; ActionScript 3, ActionScript 2 (or 1), and JavaScript as well as at least 2 different tools; Flex Builder for ActionScript 3 and JavaScript and Flash 8 btw ... Integrating even Flash AS3 content into Flex 2 apps requires special processes. See the following post by Jesse for details on using the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Component_Kit_for_Flash_CS3 that is now on labs: Example for Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3 http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2007/04/example_for_fle.html hth, g [ORIGINAL LANGUAGE] Why Integration? ...

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 Prof copy: missing Tree component.
Jason, Regarding How about calling a WSDL - Webservice? Not possible in CS3? First I just want to rephrase that as Flash CS3 AS3 because for the AS2 components (aka V2 components) nothing has changed from Flash MX 2004 to Flash 8 to Flash CS3 (except FLVPlayback being introduced with Flash 8). The issue is with AS3 components only. As of Flash CS3 the package fl.* has been added for AS3 components. (In Flash the package mx.* remains AS2. Confusingly, Flex 2 has now appropriated mx.* for all of its components, which in Flex 2 are all AS3.) So, back to your question let me first finish rephrasing it: How about calling a WSDL - Webservice? Not possible in CS3 AS3? At the following link shockzone wrote on 11-10-2006: http://www.actionscript.org/forums/archive/index.php3/t-121396.html I got an email from Joey Lott the author of the AS3 Cookbook. Basically he said that in Flash 9 AS3 there is no built in web services. The only way you can do it is manually assemble and de-assemble SOAP request. Ouch. Note: the quote above predates the release of Flash CS3. Still, I see nothing in the released version of Flash CS3 that contradicts the quote above. Of course if anyone else can provide links to solutions for AS3 web services for Flash CS3 developers, please post asap :-) Now couple the quote above with what cayennecode wrote on the remoting thread on 5/11/2007 on the Adobe forums threadhttp://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15catid=250threadid=1245196enterthread=y : But yeah, the DataSet class, RDBMSResolver class haven't been refactored for AS3. Making your life of easily walking through the remoting results more difficult, as well as listening to changes in the data model. Have fun building it !!! So is it possible? I guess so. But no, there are no AS3 components provided. And again, since at runtime AS2 and AS3 live in separate virtual machines, you can not use the AS2 components in building AS3 solutions. And, of course, the whole point of components is so that we do not have to build everything from scratch. Rapid Application Development and all that. So to recap. I think that Adobe made a misjudgment in not revving the full component set up to AS3. This thread makes me suspect that a few others on this list may feel the same way. (Mainly those who use Flash to create applications.) Maybe someday Adobe will deem it in their strategic interest to provide Flash a comprehensive, updated component set in-product. fwiw, when I have an opening in my schedule, a key Adobe employee that I will escalate this to is Richard Galvan. Richard took over as technical product manager for Flash back in Februaryhttp://blogs.adobe.com/rgalvan/2007/02/hello_and_welcome_1.html. Richard is a great guy. If anyone on this list knows Richard, please do not hesitate to contact him regarding your concerns. fyi, Richard blogs at: http://blogs.adobe.com/rgalvan/ Oh, and in the course of doublechecking this I found an example of Adobe disingenuousness here in the form of a blog post by Adobe employee Justin Everett-Church. Justin's post is a glowing review of the Flash CS3 AS3 components and is entitled AS2 and AS3 Components in Flash CS3 Professional. Of course he makes no mention that the AS3 component set is a dramatically scaled back set relative to the AS2 component set. But Justin was open in his biases in writing: http://justin.everett-church.com/index.php/2007/04/27/as2-and-as3-components-in-flash-cs3-professional/ I have to admit that I have never liked components. I prefer to build things from the ground up myself and have complete design control. fwiw, Justin has now moved onto the Flash Player product management teamhttp://justin.everett-church.com/index.php/2007/02/08/joining-the-flash-player-team/, so no sense in bothering him about the current sorry state of AS3 components in Flash CS3. Another example is in the docs. The docs do include ActionScript 2.0Migration, but it does not include components. What I think Adobe does reasonably owe us is a doc on ActionScript 2.0 to ActionScript 3.0Component Migration. Boy, now that sure would be a ringing indictment. Sorry that I can not offer anything more helpful at this time. If I do come up with solutions, I will post back. Of course if others have more to add, please post asap :-) g ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Exporting a swf to an FLV
Patrick, I know of no way to export swf directly to FLV. Flash CS3 has introduced a new option on export to Quicktime. Once an MOV has been rendered, you can use the Flash Video Encoder (or encoder of your choice) to transcode into FLV. Animators who use Flash for broadcast have long established workflows for exporting to Quicktime. What the new CS3 feature adds is support for animations in nested movie clips and ActionScript animation. I believe neither of these were previously possible. (Anyone please correct me if I am incorrect on this :-) The description of the new options are: http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/flash/upgrade/ Advanced QuickTime export Render content published in a SWF file as a QuickTime video using the advanced QuickTime exporter. Export content that includes nested MovieClips, content generated with ActionScript language, and runtime effects such as drop shadow and blur.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 Prof copy: missing Tree component.
Yes, who would have believed that Flash CS3 would yield AS3 components that are: - a reduced set of UI components from AS2 - no data components - elimination of databinding And as Randy points out, all this in the run up to Microsoft's Silverlight release. Based on my decades of experience in the computer industry, my opinion is that Microsoft does not necessarily win, so much as their competition fails. I see Adobe's abandoning the commitment to provide a comprehensive, updated component set in-product with Flash CS3 as just such a failure. Tragic. g P.S. Since Adobe abandoned Flash data components for AS3, I am proceeding on the assumption that it is illogical that they would now provide an AS3 remoting update for Flash. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 Prof copy: missing Tree component.
Yes, Flex has AS3 versions of all of the components that Flash 8 had and then some. That is the point. The message is pretty clear: If you want a comprehensive, state of the art component set use Flex. You can preview the full set of Flex UI components here: http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/explorer/explorer.html The decision to not rev all Flash 8 components up to AS3 was a conscious business decision. In retrospect maybe not a good business decision, but certainly a conscious business decision. g P.S. Remember, the Flex framework is far more heavy than the Flash CS3 AS3 component framework. P.P.S. I regret that Adobe has consciously chosen not to fully support AS3 application development in both Flash and Flex. As much as Flex supports an authoring style better suited for some developers than the Flash IDE, the Flex IDE will not suit some developers for whom the Flash IDE is good. By not providing a comprehensive, updated component set in-product with Flash CS3 Adobe is alienating some of the most talented and capable Flash developers who have been vital to their success in the first place. P.P.P.S. In addition to gskinner.com, the other half of the team that created the Flash CS3 AS3 components was metaliq.com. I have to say, I personally find it disconcerting that the first entry listed by the Silverlight product manager touting the Silverlight release is a Silverlight application built by metaliq.com.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash CS3 Prof copy: missing Tree component.
Regarding Jason's question, NO. As yet Flash CS3 has no AS3 classes/components for WebService or Remoting. And no where have I seen any promised. (I would like to see them, so if anyone from Adobe is on this list and might like to tell us that there one day will be Flash CS3 AS3 Data Components, please chime in :-) If you would like to see the inventory of what we have, here is the top level link for livedocs for Flash CS3: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm And here is the top level for the Flash CS3 ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components Reference: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/index.html Regarding integrate parts of the flex framework components into flash, as Claus points out, there are issues. I am confident that if it were straight forward, Adobe would have done it for the Flash CS3 AS3 components. Though this thread suggests that some of us consider the Flash CS3 AS3 component set to be incomplete, one goal that Adobe did achieve was keeping them as lightweight as possible. As we all know, Flex is not lightweight. There is the devil's bargain in component development. What makes Flex Flex is that it is not Flash. And the fact that the Flash CS3 AS3 components are so lightweight really highlights this. fwiw ... Even going the easier route of integrating Flash AS3 content in to Flex is a little involved. Adobe has put up on labs the Adobe Flex Component Kit for Adobe Flash CS3. The thumbnail description is Allows you to easily convert Flash content into Flex components providing seamless integration between Flash CS3 and Flex. But it is a one way street, Flash into Flex only. Details here: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Component_Kit_for_Flash_CS3 Regarding Austin's earlier statement about possible time factor considerations, I assume that this is a hypothesis on Austin's part. Unless Austin knows something that I don't know I am sticking with my firsthand understanding that The decision to not rev all Flash 8 components up to AS3 was a conscious business decision. No issues regarding time factors. Just priorities. I.e. conscious strategic business decisions. I do totally concur with Austin that Most new releases of a software don't remove functionality. And Adobe might just say we did not remove any of the AS2 components ... But because AS2 and AS3 logic live in separate virtual machines, were anyone from Adobe to say that they did not remove functionality, I would think them disingenuous. And please note that Grant did reply to that thread on his blog. And Grant's only reply is for us to email our requests for a comprehensive, state of the art component set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] lol. And with Flash Player 9 likely to be at 90% or so by the June studyhttp://weblogs.macromedia.com/emmy/archives/2007/04/sneak_peek_at_t.cfm this month, it is getting safe for us to be moving on to AS3 development. I concur with Austin that Removing something like the tree component or web services from flash 9 cs3 is a major mistake. However, I neither work for Adobe nor was I consulted when they made that (for us) fateful decision :-( Lastly, since gskinner.com and metaliq.com had teamed uphttp://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2005/07/glic_is_dead.htmlin the AS2 era to deliver the mCOM components http://metaliq.com/mcom/, I kind of hoped that they would deliver AS3 components to fill the gap. Heck, Adobe did pay them to create the Flash CS3 AS3 componentshttp://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2006/09/building_the_v3.html. How hard would it be for them to create some more? But based on my limited conversations with Beau and others at Metaliq my sense is that this is not going to happen :-( What really slays me is that all the early reviews of these components were universally glowing. Only now that we developers are going about our work did anyone comment on the huge chunk of the component set that did not get included in the Flash CS3 AS3 components. But hey, that just get's back to Kalani's I did not speak out verse at the top of this thread. /rant g ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 9 CS3 - Key questions
Regarding Flash / Flex integration ... As a Flash developer I have felt that Adobe was doing a pretty crappy job explaining Flash / Flex integration. Now I understand that they were just waiting to release Flash CS3. After all, Flex 2 is exclusively AS3 based. So in retrospect it seems fair that Adobe has been waiting until a GA release of Flash authoring was out that support AS3 authoring. First, from what I have seen so far Flash / Flex integration is generally a one-way street. That is Flash authored content can be integrated into Flex projects. I have not yet seen anything regarding integrating Flex 2 authored content into Flash projects. But again this may be because Flash CS3 has not yet hit the streets. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF FLEX IN FLASH EXAMPLES, PLEASE POST THEM? :-) Anyhow, since Austin's original post starting this thread Flash CS3 has been announced and Adobe has started opening up the floodgates on information about Flash / Flex integration. The first big salvo is the Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Component_Kit_for_Flash_CS3now up on labs. On Monday JesseWarden.com did a very nice piece using the Component Kit and which shows how well the Flash/Flex can integrate together.

Re: [Flashcoders] The great CS3 Swindle
Of the top of my head a possible reason is that higher prices respond to the amount of illegal software used in Europe in comparison to the US... I could be wrong, but the system seems far more controlled over there, and there are less companies using pirated copies... now, I don't see how this measures could improve the situation over here, but the logic might be to get some compensation, plus pressuring legal companies to act against ilegal companies in order to expect lower exchange rates... still, I don't think it's a particulary smart measure... specially when developing budgets are usually much lower in Europe than in the US...

Re: [Flashcoders] Image Caching Problem
Hi, By default cache I think you refer to the local storage setting in the Flash Player configuration... AFAIK, that's the amount of info you can store with SharedObjects, and has nothing to do with the cache used for storing loaded assets... the later depends exclusively on the browser's cache settings. A preloader is ALWAYS necessary when doing a loadMovie, 'cause even when they are in cache, there's a slight delay of a few frames till they actually appear on stage... so any operation dependant on the image would fail. So, your options are the ones you describe... preload everything when doing a loadMovie (My advice is to use a proxy function, or a loader class, so you never use loadMovie directly, making sure everything is loaded before beeing used), or else switch to Flash 8 and use BitmapData. BitmapData allows you to load images and store them in variables (the same way you would do with text from a loadVars operation), and use them as many times as you want (attachBitmap). The bitmapdata information stays in the computer's memory (ram when available, then virtual memory), so there is absolutely no problem if you only use 380Kb of images. Cheers... David Beermann escribió: Why don't you use BitmapData for storing the loaded images once and placing them in different movie clips as many times as you want? Attila Thanks, Attila. I forgot to mention that the project I'm currently working on is Flash7/AS2. So using the BitmapData Class is no option here. Am 10.03.2035 um 21:51 schrieb Alain Rousseau: There is a limit in each browser for the amount of cache available, if your files go over that amount, not all the files will stay in the cache ! You should try Attila's solution to this You right about the cache, Alain. The default cache setting allows each website to store 100 KB. My images add up to about 380 KB (76 files range from between 2 to 7 KB each). So caching could really be the problem. So my options are, to create a preloader for all areas where I need my thumbnails or the convince my client to switch to Flash 8. Would the switch really help or would I end up in another caching problem? I couldn't find any information in the AS2.0 Language Reference where the BitmapData Class stores its data. Or even better, is there any other solution to this problem? Thanks for your help.

Re: [Flashcoders] Controlling flv
Adrian, Have you gotten this resolved yet? I am a little rusty on the FLVPlayback component. It wraps the VideoPlayer class. If you look on the docs there are a number of properties on VideoPlayer that you might be able to use to construct the logic you describe. Docs here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/3645.html For instance, do your FLVs have encoding showing values on the property VideoPlayer.totalTime? If so, perhaps you can have a listener watch VideoPlayer.playheadTime and as it reaches totalTime you can have the logic pause on the last frame of the video before fading to black. Also, I don't know if you might be able to use the event VideoPlayer.complete. Maybe somebody from YouTube is on the list and they can share how their player is coded :-) Regardless, please post back and let us know if you have resolved this, and if so how. hth, g On 3/12/07, Adrian MacTaggart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm working with Flash 8 and I've imported an flv to the stage and set it as a progressive download, using a preset skin to control the video.

Re: [Flashcoders] problem with fl9 beta
The error is weird, 'cause it says line 5 and you showed only 4 lines
of code check that...
About the code, it's not AS3... you need to use something like this:
miButton.addEventListener ( rollOver, miFunction);
function miFunction (event) {
miButton.rotation--;
}
See that the event declaration changed, and that _rotation is now
rotation.
And you can write all the code you want in any timeline... don't bother
using classes unless you want to learn OOP...

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
I usually delete the rollOver handler while I'm over it, detecting the rollOut event through hitTest instead of onRollOut... its something like this: myFunction clip.onRollOver delete clip.onRollOver clip.onMouseMove if(!clip.hitTest(_xmouse,_ymouse)) delete clip.onMouseMove myFunction //redeclare onRollOver Holth, Daniel C. escribió: It seems like in many of the projects I'm doing I need to have simultaneous onRollOver events. For example, a small movie clip with additional buttons needs to enlarge when the mouse is over it so the user can clearly click the buttons. However, when the user mouses over a button, flash no longer detects that the mouse is still over the movieclip and thus executes the onRollOut event making the movieclip shrink and the user can't see the buttons clearly anymore. I've used some code which can tell if the mouse is over an object, and attaching that to onMouseMove events can basically make two mouse overs. While its not checking the mouse position every frame, its still not as efficient as I'd like. Does anyone have any thoughts on a more efficient way to detect two mouse over events at the same time?

William, This came up on FlexCoders last month. Following is a link to a reply I posted there (that in turn includes links out to other sources): http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/59767 I am interested in a thorough comparison of Flex 2 vs Laszlo, so if anyone can provide a link I would appreciate it. Has anyone here actually used Laszlo? Can anyone provide first hand impressions? Following are a few more bits of what I have heard. Back in the Flex 1.x days the price difference between Flex and Laszlo was enormous. Since Adobe rationalized pricing with Flex 2, Laszlo's price advantage now is negligible. At this point, the only runtime Flex 2 targets is Flash Player 9/AS3. Laszlo targets FP7/AS2, plus Ajax/DHTML and soon Java ME. I believe Laszlo shows future development targeting FP9/AS3. From what I can tell, Laszlo has limited IDE support. Or at least not as robust a support as Flex Builder 2 provide for Flex 2 development.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q:AS2 AS3 and loop speed
Hi jbach, You ask about differences for as2, and as3. But you preface it with I know this has been discussed ad nauseam for as1. I think any performance comparisons of AS1 to AS3 would be the same for AS2 to AS3. fwiw, my understanding is that *at runtime* AS1 and AS2 are one-and-the-same. Or as the post at following link put it 2 weeks ago AS2 was just syntactical sugar on top of AS1: http://www.flashmagazine.com/1363.htm As of Flash Player 9, there are now 2 virtual machines in the Flash Player: AVM1 and AVM2. The AVM and AS numbering are not synchronized. So, AS3 compiles into bytecode rendered by AVM2. And both AS1 and AS2 compile into bytecode rendered by AVM1. (btw ... the 1 on AVM1 likely was added retroactively upon the appearance of AVM2.) If my understanding is correct, the performance comparisons at the following link comparing AS2 and AS3 imply similar performance for AS1 as those shown for AS2: http://oddhammer.com/actionscriptperformance/set4/ If I am incorrect in any of this, I would appreciate someone correcting me. hth, g On 12/22/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know this has been discussed ad nauseam for as1, but what's the scoop on loop speed differences for as2, and as3?

Re: [Flashcoders] 8 sounds maximum limit

However, following is a link into the LiveDocs for Sound object the Flash AS3 preview: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/as3preview/langref/flash/media/Sound.html#play()http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/as3preview/langref/flash/media/Sound.html#play%28%29 And it says: Returns SoundChannelhttp://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/as3preview/langref/flash/media/SoundChannel.html— A SoundChannel object, which you use to control the sound. This method returns null if you have no sound card or if you run out of available sound channels. The maximum number of sound channels available at once is 32.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 with Flash Authoring 9
Daniel, AS3 requires Flash Player 9. Is that dependency ok for your application? As of the latest FP penetration stats (Sept '06), FP9 is only at around 36% (of the known universe). Some have reported successfully deploying on external facing sites with the express install very easily upgrading anyone who doesn't have FP9. If you are ok with the FP9 dependency, I personally encourage you to immediately migrate now into AS3, using the beta version of the Flash Authoring #9. FP9 is substantially faster. The changes between AS2 and AS3 are not trivial. If AS3 is in your future, and if you are ok with the FP9 dependency now, I would encourage you to not building any more legacy AS2 code. My 2¢ I am eager to hear other people's thoughts too :-) hth, g On 12/16/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I am getting ready to launch officially a major project of e-learning programs with a lot of interactive graphics and animation.

Re: [Flashcoders] Q: Performance of AS3 vs Java
I am not at all knowledgeable about 3D. So I offer the following observations only as an observer looking in. Adobe already has 3D in Acrobat. Six weeks ago at MAX there was a sneak peek of an Acrobat 3D / Flash mashup. Here is the description off of FlashMagazine.com/1336.htmhttp://www.FlashMagazine.com/1336.htm: Michael Kaplan, Acrobat 3D Awesome demo. I snapped a video of this one. Will add it to this article as soon as I get it uploaded, but the key takeaway is FULL swf support in Acrobat 3D. So Adobe definitely has Flash and 3D in their brains. As yet I haven't heard any buzz about FP10, but likely we will have heard something about FP10 by this time next year. And in 2007 we will likely see the introduction of Apollo which has been preannounced as being a Flash/Acrobat/HTML/CSS mashup. So hopefully something in 2007 or 2008 giving some sort of 3D functionality for Flash developers to work with :-) g ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] weird htmlText split and join behavior
HI gregory.
Yes the htmlText is a pain.! The problems never end.
And macromedia now adobe never fix those behaviors in the text field.
I think that you can check for flash 8 movie if you have filters available
or other flash 8 functions like setTimeOut. if(_global.setTimeout() !=
undefined) return 8 else return 7;
This is not a reliable solution because if you write a function in F7 called
setTimeOut. It faill.
I can't remenber if you have a object that tell this inside SWF but try a
loop in the _root object.
var ro = _root;
for (var t in ro){ trace(t+ +ro[t])}
Flash player 9 can tell that.;)

Marcelo and luchyx, thanks for replies.
A few words about my case.
This is a kind of digest page where summary blocks are followed by
click to see details links. When user clicks such a link, details
info will be displayed right below the link on this page.
Click again - hide details.
As you know, this is easy to do in html+javascript by
element.style.display = block; (or none to hide)
In flash, it's more tricky:
I have placeholder tags (tag_to_replace id=n) in my text which
will be replaced by details_texts_array[n] when user clicks a link.
So, I can't use a button.
However, rebuilding the textfield (if just redefining all params won't
be enough) IS a solution. Frankly, I wouldn't like to rewrite
well-working (in v7) code, but...
Flash ignore the unsupported html tags.!
Well, seems it's only v8 and by random (i.e., depending on it's
mood :-). The work-around is easy - just store html text in string
variable and play with it instead of field.htmlText ...
Also, I can't use %_replaceme_% because I need it to be a tag (not
shown in html textfield).
Also, my tags_for_css are not ignored! Thus, maybe it (player v8) just
doesn't like valid XHTML tags (like my_tag /) but feels ok to
my_tag ?
The worst thing here is that I don't know a way to determine at
runtime if the movie was published for v7 or v8...
So, I'll have to make two versions of the class OR probably make
public static var publishedForPlayer:Number = 8; // or 7
to be set manually... ;-) A lot of fun, right?
If there's anyone else who wants to suggest anything on the subject,
I'd appreciate it very much.

Re: [Flashcoders] migrating to Flex
Millie, I think Dave and Kent pretty much answered your question about Flex cost. Since you mention education licenses, one thing I can add is that academic licenses for Flex 2 w/Components are a mere $79! Of course you have to be a student, teacher, professor, etc. One source here: www.academicsuperstore.com/market/marketdisp.html?PartNo=760814 Also, since you already have Flash 8 Pro you can use that to start doing AS3 programming today, by just downloading and adding in the Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flash9as3preview/ (btw ... since you have had issues with upgrade licenses, I suggest you download the AS3 Preview today just in case you do not upgrade to Flash 9 immediately upon it's release. Likely the AS3 Preview will disappear off of labs as soon as Flash 9 ships.) Lastly, Flash and Flex play to completely different audiences. Flex barely steps on Flash's turf, if at all. For instance you ask What if anything will I lose by switching to Flex? Well for starters: drawing tools, timeline, swf's under 119KB. Flash developers who do crossover work in Flex offer customization options that straight Flex developers can not. But if Flex Framework components do not address your requirements, then you may have little or no need to commit any of your time or $$ to Flex. Following are links to some well enunciated observations about Flex from a pair of powerhouse Flash developers: Jesse Warden and Grant Skinner. Flash Components vs. Flex Components www.jessewarden.com/archives/2006/09/flash_component.html Flex 2 from a Flash Developer's Perspective www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2006/07/flex_2_from_a_f.html Flex Seminar Presentation, Flex and Flash, Online http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2006/09/flex_seminar_pr.html (see especially the link for Jesse's Using Flash Flex Together presentation which streams off the net here: http://www2.sys-con.com/webinararchive.cfm?registered=onpid=wc_rwf6_s06warden I saw Jesse's deliver a later version of this presentation at MAX and it should be required viewing for Flash developers thinking about Flex) btw ... if you want an idea of why Flex even exists, check out under the heading We Call This 'The Timeline.' No, Wait, Come Back! from what I still think is the classic explanation from Flash powerhouse Nigel Pegg: www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flash_perspective.html I hope that some or all of this helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] Video chat
Mike, Another book that I might suggest is Programming Flash Communication Serverhttp://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progflashcs/index.html#topby Lesser, Guilizzoni, Reinhardt, Lott and Watkins. If you are working with FlashCom or Flash Media Server, this book remains a great resource. It was published in 2005 so I believe it is updated for MX 2004 and AS2. Chapter 13: Building Communication Components, goes through building a Video Conference and Video Window. You might try posting your question on http://www.flashcomguru.com/flashmedialist/ Folks who know alot more than me are on that list. btw ... if you know AS2 I think you will be able to work your way through sample applications written in AS1. (Did you know AS2 code actually compiles down to the same bytecode as AS1? Now AS3 is something that takes a bit of retoolinghttp://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/migration.html:-) I just checked my bookshelf, and other than the book above, I am not finding any more recent titles with Video Chat examples. Most excitement around Video Chat in Flash found its outlet when Flash Communications Server was first released. So most sample apps are of the MX, AS1 vintage. And the V1 Communication Components provided by Macromedia have never been updated. There are now some examples around Flex 2, but those are AS3. hth, g On 9/24/06, greg h [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mike, I believe a server is required for video chat with Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] How do you manage your classes?
Dan, I can not answer your specifc questions, so I hope that others will jump in and add their voices along with details about how they manage the problems you described. I just want to comment generally that Subversion is the successor to CVS. You can find full documentation here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ If you are going to use open source version control, I will hazard to say that Subversion can not be beat. For automation, I believe that Subversion integrates well with Ant. hth, g On 9/25/06, Dan Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not very familiar with subversion- can it handle shared modules (or recursive modules I guess)?

I've used version control before, as well as doing the common classpath thing for shared classes... but when it's time to deliver the source code to someone, I would have to go in and hunt for all the classes I used on a project and copy them to the FLA directory (and recreate the com.package... structure as well). Sometimes it seems faster to simply create the AS files along with the FLA (in a single package), and copy over utility files as needed. But then you get into duplicate classes scattered over multiple projects. Can anyone provide any insight to a system that works well for them? For example, does anyone run custom shell scripts (such as rsync) that sync the current project with the main classpath directory?

I am able to replicate the problem only through the Director authoring environment (the project runs fine here on XP, of course), but as soon as I republish one of the offending swf's, the issue is resolved. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing such an issue? We are facing having to reburn a GM and redistribute new CD's, a quite expensive exercise.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to hide my flash communication server address
Mudit, Why is the RTMP server address in your HTML? Can you post back the relevant portion of your HTML object or embed tags (masking your RTMP address, of course :-) If you RTMP address is not likely to change, could you embed the RTMP address in your SWF? Or if it might change you could load it via XML? Or retrieve it via a web service or remoting call? Or leave it in your HTML chopped into multiple vars that your SWF contains logic to reassemble, but will leave it less obvious in the HTML. You might also try posting this question on http://www.flashcomguru.com/flashmedialist/ hth, g On 9/24/06, mudit tuli [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a flash communication server on which i have my flv files and when streaming the videos on my website that is hosted on a LAMP server, i ve to provided the address of my flash communicaton server\RMTP server to stream the videos, and if the user looks at the source of my webpage he can easily get the address of my RMTP server can I somehow hide or encrypt the address of my RMTP server, is that possible??

Re: [Flashcoders] locality
From where you want to retrieve the locale code.? Language, is the OS language. but locale is the country of the user machine. I must create this script to detect the correct user location http://www.riaevolution.com/rialocalization.php. because flash dont provide it.

I can publish the php object. I think that can't do it with AS. Best On 9/22/06, Mendelsohn, Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for responding.
