[Flashcoders] Text to speech (TTS)
Hi - I was wondering if anybody has any experience with server side text to speech technologies e.g. to implement 'hear this page' functionality. I have seen foxtons.co.uk that publishes text to swf audio and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything that enables this? Ideally - if it supported additional languages (French, German, Dutch) that would be great!

RE: [Flashcoders] Image as intro to FLV
Hi Greg, I read your solution with interest because I spent a lot of time looking into this a while back. It seems if I am not mistaken that the article by Lisa is only relevant for video being streamed from a Flash Communication Server, as opposed to a progressive stream from a regular server (the 'len' argument seems to only apply to FCS streams?). If this is the case, it's an important point to consider. I may be wrong, but that is what I could gather from a quick read. J. PS.

Hi - I had this same question a while back and never really found an answer via the list. What I ended up doing works very well, if what you want to do is get the first frame of the video to be the image. You can see the end result it in action here: http://www.fotoko.com/?str=1N%3D%2A%5C%3BKLP6R%3DT3%5BB%2E1R%0Dpy%1B The biggest issue I personally had with this was getting the video to stop loading / downloading after the first frame had loaded (but there is a command to do this - stream.close()) - just make sure you do that because if you are loading multiple videos with the first frame as a preview, you don't want them to all be downloading at the same time in their entirety just for the sake of that one frame. I can send you the code if you like and below is the email I sent to the list back then outlining the solution. Regards, Jason. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Just wanted to follow up on my findings regarding multiple video streams (progressive streams). I had 2 issues: 1) I was noticing that having more than 3-4 videos on the stage at once, greatly slowed down the Flash movie performance i.e. other vector animations on the stage (even if the videos are not playing). 2) How to create thumbnails for the video files. It turns out, the 2 are actually connected. Using stream.close() seems to be the way to solve these problems - so I start to stream the video and close() it as soon as the first frame has arrived (using onMeta and time/fps to pick up on when this has happened). This allows me to create a thumbnail for each of the videos on stage, whilst not needing to have the stream open and slowing the movie down.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash video multiple streams...
Thanks for this and the detail you go into. The third option is the most feasible for me at the moment. I have implemented something very similar based on this and it works great ... though I'm actually using netstream.close() once the first frame has loaded. I realised that it's the multiple open netstreams that cause the slow down :) Thank you.

If I think of doing this, I'd do it using the following ways: 1. if I have Flash Media Server (Streaming method) Use it with server side actionscript to server streaming video, with server side actionscript to play the first 10 seconds, and I'd catch with the progress listener on an unskinned FLV player that the movie has reached the first 1 second, thats when I'll pause the video, until I rollover it thats when I need to play it again 2.If I dont have flash media server Using a FLV slicing thumbnail creator, like FLVKnife, with a little server side script code to created the shorter videos on upload, and another tool to extract an image for a thumbnail, bearing in mind that usually on users videos, the first 10 seconds may include titles, or black screens (Mr. X presents), You know the users love to get cool with their home made videos, so a progressive load wont be of equal quality to this solution, Also this solution will help you with the 1 by 1 sequential loading technique, for you're to load only what you'd show (I recommend this one) 3. (Progressive loading) If I dont have flash media server and I hate to waste my time on server side scripting but I can bear performance issues, I'd have multiple unskinned instances of the FLVPlayback, and i'd catch using the progressive listener the first frame (frames per second/playHeadTime) and pause, and when rollover happens play (and create a new listener waiting for the 10th second to restart video again), and on Rollout restart and pause Hope if this doesnt help atleast would highlight some other possible solutions or act as thought provoking to the other list members Regards Yehia Shouman [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- On 10/25/06, Jason Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have a problem where multiple video streams, which are slowing a page down (download time) ... see here: http://www.fotoko.com/?str=1N%3D%2A%5C%3BKLP6R%3DT3%5BB%2E1R%0Dpy%1B The video does load ... eventually, and then works fine on subsequent visit due to caching ... my issue is with the loading times on the first visit.

[Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice
Hi, I have a photo sharing site that was coded in Flash 6.0 using AS 1.0 of course. I am in the process of updating all code to AS 2.0 and was hoping to use CacheAsBitmap to improve the performance. This link demonstrates a folder on the site with many images: http://www.fotoko.com/?str=1N%3D%2A%5C%3BKLP6R%3DT3%5BB%2E1R%0Ast%15 Ideally, I would like to speed up things like (which, on a slow PC these things can run pretty poorly): * Scrolling (using the slider on the bottom of the screen) * Image inflates (when you click an image) * Animations (when you click 'NEXT / PREVIOUS') I know that CacheAsBitmap should be used carefully, which is what I am struggling on. The site is coded quite well with many nested movie clips. This is where I struggle to understand where / if I should apply a CacheAsBitmap command.

RE: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice
Wow! Lot's to look into. I never considered using BitmapData for this at all. I will need to investigate. Thanks! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Buff Sent: 11 October 2006 13:29 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice With BitmapData, you can build a BitmapData of your picture, for exemple 1000x600 witch will stay in memory, and will not be displayed. After that, you create another BitmapData witch is only 500x300 for exemple, the size you need for display. Then you draw the first BitmapData in the second with the draw() method, according to a geom.matrix witch describe the translation you need for scroll, and also the zoom. Doing this, your scroll and zoom will be faster. Remember that the cacheAsBitmap property is true by default. May be there isn't difference in you're test because you didn't try to define cacheAsBitmap as false (and only compare default and true, witch is the same thing). I went to your site. It seem's that when we zoom in a picture, this picture is first reduced like 20% and when you zoom, you increase to 100% with a mask. Am'I wrong? In this case, and also for the scroll, you will not realy increase the speed with cacheAsBitmap. But I think you can do much better using BitmapData, scroll(), draw() and flash.geom.matrix in the draw() method. always sorry for my english David Buff - Original Message - From: Jason Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2006 1:36 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice Hi - thank you to both Ian and Ramon.

[Flashcoders] Video project - advice
Hi - I have been asked to create a Flash based application to present a few hundred video clips. The application needs to be delivered on both CD-Rom and Web (standard web server i.e. not Flash Streaming Servers). I am fine with AS but have not used Flash video for a while! The application needs to be coded to Flash 7.0 or greater (though, I am trying to get them to go with Flash 8.0). I am looking for some advice as timings are tight to help avoid last minute pitfalls. Also - does the FLVPlayback component work with Flash player 7.0? Any feedback / sharing of experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason.

[Flashcoders] Flash 8 components in Flash 6 player
Hi, We have a Flash 6.0 application which we are expanding with Flash 8.0 components (to do with image uploading). Specifically, if a user is viewing the app with a lower Flash player, we offer them the Flash 6.0 upload interface (HTML), otherwise, they get the Flash 8.0 upload interface (Flash). We are doing this by loading the Flash 8.0 upload component into a new level in the Flash 6.0 shell (loading into a movie clip did not seem to work so well). Re-writing the Flash 6.0 shell is not really an option as it is far too big. My question is although this works - is it 'right' to do it the right way to do it i.e. before we make it live, has anyone had any real experience / lessons from doing something like this? Much obliged, Jason. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Is there a way to get the FileReference to open different browse window

Note, to see the default window which Flash triggers, paste this code
onto the first frame of a blank movie:
