[Flashcoders] Can you embed .mp4 files in timeline?
Hey, Just trying one more time Using Flash CS3 and publishing to flash player 9, can you import and embed .mp4 files in the flash timeline? I can't. I can link to it via an flvplayback component. Thanks, Matt ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Can you import .mp4 files into the flash ide?
hi. i'm working on a video project that needs lots of invisible hotspots and rollover effects. so i'm forced to embed the video in the timeline to make that possible. i know it's not recommended but it will be played on a CD so i'm hoping that will minimize playback problems. the problem i'm having is that all videos are encoded as .mp4 and when i import them into the flash timeline as embedded video and then publish the movie i can hear the audio but i'm not seeing the video. i don't think the .mp4 files are the problem because i can play them just fine when i reference them with an flvplayback component. has anyone ever imported mp4 files with success? flash player 9/flash cs3 has support for mp4 but is it only when the files are external? i'm using flash cs3 version 9.0, with flash player 9.0.115 any tips are appreciated. thanks! matt ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] missing method
update:
the problem was solved and the error was that there were two local vars with
the same name, 'poly'. the first one was an instance of my Polyline class
and the second was an instance of the Polygon class. the Polyline class has
no method 'getArea()', but Polygon does.
thanks for lending a hand. very much appreciated. -- matt.

Re: [Flashcoders] missing method
unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem. i can access other methods in the class and even add new trace statements (to ensure that the IDE is looking at the right version of the class and not some old CVS'd version). bizarre, really.

[Flashcoders] missing method
hi.
i'm having a strange problem. i'm getting compile-time errors when i try to
access a public function in a class. i can successfully access other public
methods in this class from the same place in the codebase (verified thru
traces), but not this one.
i don't know if it's a weird CVS error or not, but here's what it looks like
when i try to access the method (getArea()):
if (geom instanceof Polygon) {
var poly:Polygon = Polygon(geom);
geomarkup.area = poly.getArea(); // error occurs right here.
}
and here's the error i'm getting:
There is no method with the name 'getArea'. but the method is in there in
the class and it looks like this:
public function getArea():Number{
if(area != null)
return area;
}
has anyone had similar issues and can point me in a general direction. i'm a
little at a loss.
any tips are greatly appreciated. thanks -- matt.

Re: [Flashcoders] calculating dates based on a starting date.
hi karina.
that looks very useful. yes, please post it on your blog. i'm not sure it's
an exact fit for my problem but i'm making some progess here.
for example, i have a starting date as a date object and based upon what the
user
selects, i can calculate an increment. the only remaining unknown is how to
calculate it over a 13 month period. here is what i've got so far:
infusionDates.push( startingDate ); // set the initial start date in the
array.
// user selects 1 infusion once a week
if( infusions == 1 && weeks == 1 )
{
increment = 7;
for( i:Number=0; i<4; i++ ) // but '4' here is wrong. what value do i use
to represent 13 months??
{
infusionDates.push( startingDate += increment );
}
}
thank you very much for your help. -- matt.

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] calculating dates based on a starting date.
Hi Matt,
If what you're looking for is a way to subtract two dates, then it's your
lucky day...
I just wrote an Age Counter component that displays how long it's been
since
a specific date (years, months, hours, minutes, and seconds). It's for a
client who wants to show how long his pediatric center has been running (a
very long time...): http://www.belilovskypediatrics.com/en/about.htm
Anyway, you don't need the whole class, just the relevant function which
is:
function getAge (year:Number, month:Number, day:Number):Date {
//Founded day or birthday
var founded:Date = new Date (year, month, day);
//Today
var today:Date = new Date ();
//Time difference in milliseconds
var mil:Number = today.getTime () - founded.getTime ();
//The age, in a date format
var age:Date = new Date ();
//Set the age (in relateion to 1970)
age.setTime (mil);
//Adjust the year
age.setYear (age.getYear () - 70);
return age;
}
The function returns a Date format, from which you can easily extrapolate
everything you need -
var age:Date = AgeCounter.getAge (1970, 6, 12); //That's my birthday, send
me a card ;)
Note: The month is 0 based, so don't send me that card in June, but in
July
;)
The day is 1 based, so my birthday is indeed on the 12th
And get the various age differences between dates like this:
age.getYear(),
age.getMonth(), age.getDate(), age.getHour(), age.getSecond()
If you need exact hours, just add them to the method. See docs for
creating
a Date object.
Anyone - let me know if you want the AgeCounter component itself, I'll
post
it on the blog.
Cheers,
Karina

Subject: [Flashcoders] calculating dates based on a starting date.
hi.
i'm building a scheduler app for people who need infusions
over a 1 year period. a user selects the following info to begin:
1. a starting date for first infusion - day, month, and year
2. number of infusions - 1-4 3. frequency of infusions -
every 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks.
i have to come up with a schedule of infusion dates over the
next 13 months.
the breakdown of infusion frequency goes like this:
CASE 1: user selects infusions per 1 week period.
a. 1 infusion every week -> increment every 7 days b. 2
infusions "" -> increment every 4 days c. 3 infusions "" ->
increment every 2 days d. 4 infusions "" -> alert ("max 3
infusions/week" );
CASE 2: user selects infusions per 2 week period.
a. 1 infusion every 2 weeks -> increment every 14 days b. 2
infusions "" -> increment every 7 days c. 3 infusions "" ->
increment every 4 days d. 4 infusions "" -> increment every 4 days
CASE 3: user selects infusions per 3 week period.
a. 1 infusion every 3 weeks -> increment every 21 days b. 2
infusions "" -> increment every 10 days c. 3 infusions "" ->
increment every 7 days d. 4 infusions "" -> increment every 5 days
CASE 4: user selects infusions per 4 week period.
a. 1 infusion every 4 weeks -> increment every 28 days b. 2
infusions "" -> increment every 14 days c. 3 infusions "" ->
increment every 9 days d. 4 infusions "" -> increment every 7 days
the way i figured to do it would be to capture the starting
day and month and then calculate ( based on number of
infusions and frequency ) every other day and month over a 13
month period. i'd throw all of these values into an
'infusionDates' array and then i can loop over them and
change the properties of the DateChooser that i need.
i just need help figuring out how to populate the
infusionDates array. can anyone help me get started, please?
thanks for any tips. -- matt.

[Flashcoders] best way to correlate dates with DateChooser
hi. - i'm building a scheduler app where a user picks a starting day, month, and year for an infusion. - then they can choose how frequently they want an infusion, i.e. every week, every two weeks, etc.. - then i calculate every day for an infusion for the next year and throw all these dates into an array, i.e. infusionDates. now, from my research this appears to be the way to target individual cells in a DateChooser component: myDateChooser.dateGrid[ "dayBlock"+columnIndex+"label"+rowIndex ]; the data i'm currently capturing in my infusionDates array doesn't really translate very well over to columnIndex and rowIndex. my question is: what is the best way to set up the infusionDates array so i can easily target those dates in the DateChooser? basically i'd just like to loop over that array and be able to target individual cells and change their properties. any tips are very much appreciated. thanks. -- matt. ___ 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
[Flashcoders] creating a schedule based on starting date
hi. i'm building a scheduler application. a user chooses the first date of their infusion and then how many they want and how frequently. a user can choose between 1-3 infusions every 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks. these values are stored in comboboxes where the user makes their selection. what i want to do is calculate on what days there will be infusions and then push them into an array. i capture the starting date and injections like this: startingMonth = month_cb.selectedItem.data; startingDay = day_cb.selectedItem.label; startingYear = year_cb.selectedItem.label; infusions = infusions_cb.selectedItem.label; weeks = weeks_cb.selectedItem.label; how would i go about pushing them into an array? this is what i've begun with. var infusionDates:Array = new Array(); infusionDates.push( startingDay + " " + startingMonth + " " + startingYear ); // how would i increment it? any tips on getting started are greatly appreciated. thanks. -- matt. ___ 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

the reference is named room1Music but the actualy movie clip instance name is _level0.room1_mc. i've been using the reference before the sound methods, i.e. room1Music.start(), etc... im trying to manipulate several sounds independently of another. i have 4 sound objects; 1 for each media display component i'm using. i also have 3 other sound objects that i'm using for background mp3s. i just changed the ones for the mp3s to use attachSound() and now it is working fine. thanks eric. but i can't use that method with a media display component. so i'm trying to figure out the best way to control those. thank you for your help. matt.

no. i thought you could just pass in a reference to the sound constructor with the instance name of the movie clip that houses the mp3 file.

[Flashcoders] working with multiple sound objects.
hi. i have 3 sound objects that i'm working with in my app. i have them all load when the site launches but i stop() them all at first because i don't want them all to start playing. here's the code: var room1Music:Sound = new Sound( _level0.room1_mc ); room1.setVolume( 80 ); room1.stop(); var room2Music:Sound = new Sound( _level0.room2_mc ); room2.setVolume( 80 ); room2.stop(); var room3Music:Sound = new Sound( _level0.room3_mc ); room3.setVolume( 80 ); room3.stop(); each of the sounds is set to 'start' and 'loop' in their respective mcs. the problem is that when the site launches, room1 sound is stopped but room2 and room3 play. why might that be happening? i can successfully trigger the room1 sound a little further down in my site via: room1.start(); // and it starts playing exactly where it should. i guess i just don't understand why i can stop 1 of the sounds but not all. any insight is greatly appreciated. thanks. -- matt. ___ 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

[Flashcoders] using MCL to keep track of total bytes loaded.
hi.
i have a question on using the MovieClipLoader class to load an array
of swf files. i just want to add the loadedBytes of each swf to
another variable so i can constantly compare the loaded to the total
of all swf files. in the end, i need to figure out the percentage of
the total swfs combined weight is loaded. i've started off a little
here but am not sure how to compare the values or if i'm adding it
correctly. can anyone see if i'm approaching this correctly so far?
here's my code:
// An array that holds the paths to external swf files.
var mainSwfArray:Array = new Array( { path: "one.swf", id: "one_mc", depth: 6 },
{ path:
"two.swf", id: "two_mc", depth: 8 },
{ path:
"three.swf", id: "three_mc", depth: 18 },
{ path:
"four.swf", id: "four_mc", depth: 16 },
{ path:
"five.swf", id: "five_mc", depth: 14 },
{ path:
"six.swf", id: "six_mc", depth: 12 },
{ path:
"seven.swf", id: "seven_mc", depth: 10 } );
var totalWeight:Number = 5677376; // the total weight of the swf files
in the mainSwfArray (in bytes).
var loadedWeight:Number = 0; // we'll add to this variable as the
movies get loaded.
var mainMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
var mainMclListener = new Object();
mainMCL.addListener( mainMclListener );
// onLoadProgress()
mainMclListener.onLoadProgress = function( targetMC, loadedBytes, totalBytes)
{
loadedWeight += loadedBytes;
// then do a test to find out the percentage loadedWeight is of
totalWeight. i need to know when it's reached 10%, 20%, 30%, etc...
}
thanks. -- matt.

Hey Matt, if completeScope is a string, eval it in your call:
removeEventListener( "complete", eval(completeScope));
removeEventListener is looking for function or object in the second
argument:
function removeEventListener(event:String, handler):Void
As for using Delegate, I don't think that's the issue here, but then again,
I might be missing your question.

where completeScope is a string: _level0.externalSwf_mc.completeListener;

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Remoting and CF
it's what i did. within flash, i'd create either a generic object or an associative array and i'd pass that entire object in my remoting call. the method in my cfc is set up to accept this arg and the first thing that it does is loop over it and passes those values along to my database. and going back i'd do the same thing. i used structs and passed it back to flash where i'd loop over the result and then going about using those values where needed. i used the netconnection debugger to view the back and forth and it gave me a real nice visual display of the structure of my data. hth.

Re: [Flashcoders] the bitmap shift bug
point taken. i'll trace out the x and y of my media display to ensure it's ending up where i want it. and the odd thing about it is that i'm using 7 flvs and only 2 are suffering from this shift. i've also been thinking that it could be due to the way i'm compressing the flvs. i've tried recompressing with a higher data rate but that hasn't been a consistent fix. thanks for your help. -- matt.

[Flashcoders] the bitmap shift bug
just wondering if the known bug that shifts bitmaps 1px (http://www.misuseit.com/bitmapbug/) could affect an flv that has a bitmap composited in it. i'm experiencing 1px shifts (to the right) that do not appear to be specific to screen resolution, browser, or platform. my flv is called externally and played thru a media display component. swf is published for fp7. thanks. -- matt. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] problem positioning media display
hi.
i have a media display component that i'm constantly moving around the
stage and loading new flvs into. i do this via:
function setMediaDisplayPos( x:Number, y:Number ):Void
{
_level0..mediaDisplay.move( x, y );
}
on my machine, FLV4 is off by a pixel. but on other machines, FLV4 is
just fine and FLV1 and FLV5 are off by a pixel.
i thought this might be related to screen resolution and ran some
tests only to find that it is not.
for example, i changed my resolution to the other machines i tested on
(where FLV1 and FLV5 were off) and still i'm having a problem only
with FLV4.
any ideas on what i might be experiencing here?
thanks. -- matt.

UPDATE: i've been tracing out the bytesLoaded, bytesTotal, and playheadTime for my media display components so i can see what is going on. my scenario is that i have 2 media display components and as 1 plays, the other one loads in an flv behind the scenes. whenever an flv gets loaded behind the scenes, i can see the bytes being loaded and when it's fully loaded, playheadTime=0. but when i load my first flv, the first time, into my 2nd media display, i see the bytes loaded but the playhead time is empty...even when it's fully loaded. the other flvs don't behave like this. could that be my problem? and why might that happen with my very first flv? thanks. -- matt.

hi. i'm loading an external flv into a media display component behind the scenes. the dimensions are 360x386 and the flv weighs 908kb. the problem is that the when i tell it to play, it still stutters for the first frame (on a high-speed connection). before the user even gets to this part, the flv is already fully loaded...but it still stutters. it doesn't happen with any of the other flvs in my app which are loaded the exact same way. but most of those weigh behind 250-600kb and their dimensions are approx. 180x274. this is how i preload my flvs behind the scenes: mediaDisplay.setMedia( path, "FLV" ); mediaDisplay.play( 0 ); mediaDisplay.pause(); my assumption is that my video is at a dimension that is too big, it weighs too much...and the cheesy effect i have at the beginning is too much. can anyone think of anything else i might check into? thanks. -- matt. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] reading 'loadedBytes' from MovieClipLoader onLoadProgress
hi dave. thanks for your response. i understand the problem. but i am
now resetting currentWeight to 0 directly after i test what percentage
i'm at and i'm still getting skewed values:
here is my code:
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function( targetMC, loadedBytes, totalBytes )
{
currentWeight += loadedBytes;
var currentPercentage = Math.floor( ( currentWeight /
totalWeight ) * 100 );
if( currentPercentage % 10 == 0 )
{
trace( "another 10% completed" );
}
switch( String( currentPercentage ) )
{
case "10" :
trace( "10% has loaded..." );
break;
case "20" :
trace( "20% has loaded..." );
break;
// etc...etc);
}
currentWeight = 0;
};
when i test each external swf individually, i still get skewed
results, for example:
swf1 = 312KB = 316,020 bytes // the trace value is 353,483
// NOW ADD
swf2 987K = 1330176 byets // the trace value is 1079498
// THEN ADD THIS
swf3 2.6MB = 4056473 bytes// the trace value is 2819958
i just can't seem to get this right. is there a better way i can approach this?
thanks again for your help. -- matt.

[Flashcoders] reading 'loadedBytes' from MovieClipLoader onLoadProgress
hi.
i'm using the MovieClipLoader class to load a few swfs that are
defined in an array a la:
var totalWeight = 41079759; // total weight in bytes (3.9MB)
var currentWeight = 0;
var mainArray:Array = new Array( { path: "movie1.swf", id:
"movie1_mc", depth: 1 },
{ path:
"movie2.swf", id: "movie2_mc", depth: 2 },
{ path:
"movie3.swf", id: "movie3_mc", depth: 3 });

Re: [Flashcoders] tracing every 10% of loading files
hi.
thanks for your responses. i tried out the first idea and it works 98%
of the time. here's the code ( notice that i'm doing this in the
'onLoadProgress' handler of a MovieClipLoader instance ):
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function( targetMC, loadedBytes, totalBytes )
{
var currentPercentage = Math.floor( ( loadedBytes / totalWeight ) * 100
);
// for each increase in 10%, move to next frame
if( currentPercentage % 10 == 0 )
{
_level0.main_mc.nextFrame();
}
};
the other 2% of the time it either:
A.) doesn't reach the last frame of main_mc
B.) it does reach the last frame of main_mc but seems to get stuck there.
i then tried the 2nd method like this:
var oldPercentage = 0;
mainMclListener.onLoadProgress = function( targetMC, loadedBytes, totalBytes )
{
var currentPercentage = Math.floor( ( loadedBytes / totalWeight ) * 100
);
if( Math.floor( currentPercentage / 10 ) != oldPercentage )
{
oldPercentage = Math.floor( currentPercentage / 10 );
_level0.main_mc.nextFrame();
}
};
and in this case, the nextFrame() gets called NOT with each new 10%
loaded, but one immediately after the other. i can't quite figure out
what is going wrong. can anyone see the problem?
thanks for lending a hand. -- matt.

[Flashcoders] chaining flvs to appear seamless.
hi. i have a website with a video host who walks you thru all the sections of the site. currently, we are using 50 external flv files. each one weighs around 1mb. every time the video host moves, we switch to another flv. why? because the background changes and we need to throw the new one in. we want to make it as seamless as possible so the user doesn't see we're loading in new flvs whenever the video host moves. but i just did a test trying to see how quickly i can switch between 3 of these flv files where i reset the flv via setMedia() and then invoked play() ( i'm using the media display component ). each new video needed between 1-2 seconds before it started again. has anyone attempted s/thing like this before? what solutions should i be looking for or how can i restructure my project to get around this problem? any tips are very much appreciated. thank you. -- matt. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Fwd: casting to a boolean -- SOLVED.
apparently the problem was with the encoding of the text file. it was
originally encoded as Western Roman and as soon as i encoded it as
utf-8 it worked just fine.

Subject: casting to a boolean
To: Flashcoders mailing list
hi.
i had a similar problem casting a string to a boolean last week but
someone showed me the correct way to do it. unfortunately, it's not
working in my latest exercise. when i trace out the value i always get
"false" even when i change it to "true". what happened to my
conditional? ( i'm publishing to fp7 )
loadVariablesNum( "text.txt", 2 );
function checkParamsLoaded()
{
if ( _level2 == undefined )
{
trace( "not yet." );
}
else
{
trace( "finished loading. killing interval." );
trace( "-" );
for ( i in _level2 )
{
trace( i + ": " + _level2[i] );
}
var temp:Boolean = ( _level2.textloaded == "true" ); //
'textloaded' is the var specified in the text file
trace( "temp: " + temp ); // PROBLEM -- always outputs to
'false', even when var is set to 'true'
trace( "typeof(temp): " + typeof(temp) ); // outputs to
"Boolean" = GOOD.
trace("-");
clearInterval( param_interval );
}
}
var param_interval = setInterval(checkParamsLoaded, 100);
i know that loadVariablesNum changed its behavior in fp7 but i'm not
sure if that has anything to do with it. does anyone spot anything
wrong in there?
thanks for any tips. -- matt.

[Flashcoders] cast string to a boolean value
hi. i'm receiving FlashVars in my object and embed code and the values are either "true" or "false". i assume they're brought into flash as strings and i need them as booleans. it is my understanding that boolean() won't do what i want because all it does is evaluate the expression inside the parantheses instead of converting the value to a boolean. i also read a very brief comment on livedocs that the appropriate way to do it is cast to a number first and then a boolean. but that doesn't make sense to me. anyone have any experience with this? thanks. -- matt. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] Re: am i approaching this problem correctly?
a quick update on this. if i want to check for inactivity in the flash
movie can i not simply use javascript to listen for "onMouseMove" on
the browser page...and when it doesn't detect it, simply redirect to
another page?
the question being can javascript keep track of mouse movements using
onMouseMove when the focus is on the flash movie?
thanks. -- matt.

[Flashcoders] am i approaching this problem correctly?
hi.
i want to ask people's opinions about an issue and see if my solution
is on target.
i have a navigation.swf that sits in a frame on an html page. on click
of nav button, a getURL loads another swf into the frame below. ugly,
i know. but i don't have the option to recode the piece at this point.
what i need to do is track inactivity. if there's been no action for
90 seconds (in both swf files), i'm going to getURL() and send them to
a screensaver page.
i have code that tracks inactivity without a problem but i'm assuming
i'll need to compare it to see if there's been inactivity in both the
navigation.swf and the swf currently being viewed. if both have been
inactive for 90 seconds, then getURL. so i'm going to need to use
local connection.
am i thinking about this correctly so far or is there a more elegant
solution? here's my code so far.
// FOR NAVIGATION.SWF *
*
// init
var intervalID;
var status:String = "active";
var timeOut = 1;
// local connection
var navigation_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
navigation_lc.connect( "navigation_lc" );
navigation_lc.loadScreensaver = function( obj:String )
{
if( status == "inactive" && obj == "inactive" )
{
trace( "load the screensaver" );
}
else
{
// what do we do?
}
};
// callTimeOut()
function callTimeOut ()
{
clearInterval( intervalID );
status = "inactive";
}
mouseListener = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function()
{
clearInterval( intervalID );
intervalID = setInterval( _root, "callTimeOut", timeOut );
};
Mouse.addListener( mouseListener );
// FOR MAIN.SWF **
*
// init
var intervalID;
var timeOut = 1;
// local connection
var main_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
main_lc.connect( "main_lc" );
// callTimeOut()
function callTimeOut ()
{
main_lc.send( "navigation_lc", "loadScreensaver", "inactive" );
}
mouseListener = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function()
{
clearInterval( intervalID );
intervalID = setInterval( _root, "callTimeOut", timeOut );
};
Mouse.addListener( mouseListener );
thanks in advance for any helpful tips and suggestions. -- matt.

Re: [Flashcoders] tracking inactivity
yes, big oversight on my part. thank you.
i've just changed from using an onEnterFrame to a setInterval, but i'm
not getting it to work here. i believe it might be because my
setInterval isn't first started. does that look like the culprit to
you? by the way, thanks for lending a hand.
this.stillFor = 1; // 10 seconds
this.startTime = getTimer();
this.onMouseMove = function()
{
this.time = 0;
this.startTime = getTimer();
if( blah != undefined )
{
clearInterval( blah );
blah = setInterval( this.checkTime, this.stillFor, this );
}
}
this.checkTime = function()
{
this.time = getTimer() - this.startTime;
if ( this.time>this.stillFor )
{
trace ('mouse has been still for 10 seconds!' );
clearInterval(blah);
}

[Flashcoders] tracking inactivity
hi.
i'm trying to record when there's been inactivity in my site. i got
this code from the archive but don't understand where it's going
wrong. for example, i set it to trace out if the mouse has been
inactive for 10 seconds, but instead i get this message right away.
does anyone see anything out of place?
thanks. -- matt.
this.stillFor = 1; // 10 seconds
this.startTime = getTimer();
this.onMouseMove = function(){
this.time = 0;
this.startTime = getTimer();
trace('Starting timer again');
}
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.time = getTimer()-this.startTime;
if (this.time=this.stillFor) {
this.time = 0;
this.startTime = getTimer();
trace('mouse has been still for 10 seconds!');
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] listening for all button events
i've been using this method to listen for mouse movements and mouse
clicks on the first frame of my .fla:
_root.onMouseMove = function()
{
trace( "mouse moving" );
};
_root.onMouseUp = function()
{
trace( "mouse being clicked" );
};
is that not a good way to do this?

[Flashcoders] listening for all button events
hi. is there any way to have one listener listen for all button events. you know, like you can have with "Key". or do i have to give all my buttons instance names and use addListener on each instance? thanks. matt. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Passing param to cuePoint object
you might want to keep everything in your xml document in seconds,
i.e. 1:15 would be 75 seconds. you would then have an onEnterFrame or
setInterval that would continuously read the net stream time and
compare it to your cue point time.

Re: [Flashcoders] TransitionManager documentation?
there's definitely a derth of documentation re: Transition and Tween
classes. the tutorial you point to is the comprehensive source...but
it doesn't cover everything.
i have not seen documentation for the addTransition() method of the
mx.transitions.TransitionManager class. Even the comments for that
method in that class aren't very explicit ( except that it increases
some ID count var ).
as far as the parameters for 'type', you'll find that on the first
page of the tutorial, i.e. iris, wipe, pixel dissolve, blinds,
etc...with a short explanation of what they do.
for 'easing', those parameters are explained on page 4 of the
tutorial, i.e. Bounce, Elastic, easeIn, easeInOut, etc..
'duration' seems self-explanatory and is listed as a param in the
Tween constructor where it says 'duration: number - the length of time
of the motion; set to infinity if negative or omitted'.
hth.
