[Flashcoders] MP4 not displaying video (just playing audio)
I have created a Flex app that has the Flash CS3 FLVPlayer component packaged to swc. The player plays a number of movies that have all been encoded to mp4 from Premiere CS3 from a variety of sources, most ripped from DVDs to avi (tourist info dvds supplied to me). I am having problems with one movie which was supplied to me as an flv, which I converted to mp4 using Free Studio 3.1. I have to play as mp4 as I can't guarantee the flv mime type will be configured on the hosting environment. This movie which plays fine in QuickTime but when played in the app I have created I only get audio playback? (sometimes retaining the video image of the previous playing video). I have also tried converting the mp4 out to raw AVI and then re-encoding to mp4 using the same settings in Premiere as the others which work fine. Any ideas gratefully received.

[Flashcoders] Tweening a Donut Shape / Ripples / Concentric Circles
Hi Flashcoders, I have coded a donut shape by drawing two concentric circles (one appears to punch out the other) then tweening (using Tweener) the width and height of both circles for the same amout of time and by their widths + the same increase. This gives the effect of a circle getting larger but the distance between the inner radius and outer radius remaining the same (which is very important to the effect I'm after. Stagger a load of these going off and you have a nice two tone ripple effect, however you can't overlay this over an image or attach an alpha effect as actually it is a load of solid circles, not an actual donut shape with a hole in the middle. I am aware you can create a donut shape by drawing both circles in the same fill (really punching the hole in the middle), but when this is scaled the width between the inner and outer radius scales as well. The only way I can think to solve this is to redraw the donut each time using an EnterFrame event, but this seems wrong and I would prefer to be using Tweener for nice/easy easing and the like. All ideas gratefully received. Regards, Michael ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] Tweening a Donut Shape / Ripples / ConcentricCircles
Thanks Zeh, both of these options make sense. I always forget about onUpdate even though I have used it before. I'm not that keen on using strokes but if this is likely to improve performance, I will. Will take a look at both. Michael -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zeh Fernando Sent: 17 June 2008 16:53 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Tweening a Donut Shape / Ripples / ConcentricCircles If you can use the new line drawing features, and if your container is not resized in any other way, you could create a simple circle with no fill but with a given stroke set to scale on no dimension. That way, scaling the circle container would increase the overall circle size, but the stroke would remain at the same weight. If this is not practical, you can create one additional function that redraws the circle every time like you mentioned. This doesn't need to be done onEnterFrame - it's actually better to either create a getter/setter inside your movieclip (a function that redraws your object based on the scale or some other property) or a function that gets called by the tween every time some variable (like scale or some other property) is changed, by using Tweener's onUpdate parameter.

[Flashcoders] [OT] Changing line widths in extremely complex imported EPS
Hi Flashcoders, Apologies as this is not a coding question (unless there is a code based solution? But I doubt it). I have very complex imported eps (world map) and I need to convert ALL the line widths in the clip to hairline, there are hundreds (if not thousands of vectors nested in multiple groups. If I ungroup all the vectors it loses integrity, therefore changing these manually will involve clicking into every group (which in itself can be quite tricky!) and is going to be a very time consuming job. I may have just have to face this Herculean clean up job but if anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.

The only solution I've found is changing the way some of the objects are rendered - either by using different blend modes, turning on cacheAsBitmap, or applying dummy filters - just something to make it snap out of the wrong rendering path. At one previous work I've even found that if I had one transparent box on top of the offending area, it'd force a complete redraw on every frame and fix the issue completely. Also, if you're using the beta player, well, it has a lot more of these issues than the normal versions, so I wouldn't use it as a reference.

[Flashcoders] Textfield over Bitmap Issue
Is the following a known issue? If so anyone know what I can do about it? If you look at the screenshot (linked below) there is a coloured line along the top of the word Germany (it appears all around while tweening, on the outline of the textbox). It is a dynamically created textfield over a dynamically loaded bitmap with smoothing applied as the parent sprite is all scaled from 0.3 to 1 (shown at scale of 1) using Tweener. It's a real issue, as when it's tweening in particular, it's very obvious. I thought it might be the AntiAliasType.ADVANCED but it appears when I use NORMAL too. http://www.ibltd.com/static/example/postcard.png All thoughts gratefully received.

In AS2 I may have done something like the following.

What would similar code look like in AS3? As

fails if myObject doesn't exist yet as does
_3___
if(myObject)

It's the last one I'm really interested in, how do you detect if
something exists?

[Flashcoders] Clashing Class Names
Hi Flashcoders, Can somebody confirm my worst suspicions (think I am answering my own question here) swfA loads swfB Both swfs are compiled from separate classpaths but share a similar class structure, so swfA compiles classes like swfAProject/com/UserInterface/Application.as swfAProject/com/UserInterface/UIButton.as and swfB compiles swfBProject/com/UserInterface/Application.as swfBProject/com/UserInterface/UIButton.as I'm presuming that when swfB is loaded the _global.Application class is overwritten? As when I do this the whole thing spins off into 100% CPU hell. To separate these out will I need to restructure them to be...? CommonProject/com/A/UserInterface/Application.as CommonProject/com/B/UserInterface/Application.as (intergrating the code is not an option at this point). What would people suggest as best practice here? Apologies if this is a bit of a newb question on OO.

RE: [Flashcoders] Clashing Class Names
Hi Ian, Yes a quick replace all in the classes for swfb (with careful checking of the results) has solved the problem for now. (Although having to update all the class paths in the library manually was a pain, I hope this is easier in CS3). Thanks for your reply it's interesting to know that that is the actual behavior. Michael -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Thomas Sent: 22 June 2007 15:04 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Clashing Class Names Michael, No, you have that backwards, but it's a similar problem -- the _global.Application class _isn't_ overwritten. The flash player operates a class cache -- it always stores (and uses) the first class of a particular classpath/name that it encounters. So in your case, when swfA loads, Flash caches a class called com.UserInterface.Application, and uses _that same class_ when swfB loads, ignoring swfB's implementation. Every attempt on your part beyond that point to refer to Application() will refer to swfA's version. You can get around this (as a hack) by calling delete _global.__Packages.com.UserInterface.Application; before loading swfB. Then swfB will use its own version of Application. But then swfA will have problems - it's not a brilliant solution in your case. What you really need is to separate the classpaths out in the way that you suggest. That'll certainly fix it.

Can anyone out there share any of their tips, I'm tearing my hair out here, Thanks, Michael Michael Trim Senior Producer Instant Business a: 8-10 Colston Avenue, Bristol, UK, BS1 4ST t: +44 (0) 117 915 5175 msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.ibltd.com Company number: 03857884 Registered office: Prospero House 46 -48 Rothesay Road, Luton, Bedfordshire, LU1 1QZ VAT Registration No. GB 753 1706 40 The information in this email is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.

RE: [Flashcoders] Webservice performance these days
http://www.themidnightcoders.com/articles/soap_vs_flash_remoting_bench mark.shtml Does this still stand up? I was always a little skeptical because they were selling an alternative solution anyway. I'm with Jason, I accept it's not necessarily the fastest solution but SOAP works well enough for most of the uses I have for it. Compared to the project I'm rescuing at the moment that uses plain old xml it's a dream. ___ 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] Alternative IDE for Flash Devel
Oh man you're in for a treat. I've been using FlashDevelop for ages as an AS2 editor and wouldn't be without it now, but after following this thread I am trying to setup a project (something I have never done) and compile with MTASC... Got this working fine, retrofitting an old project(about to be redeveloped) following this tutorial... http://www.smithaaronlee.net/archives/111 http://www.smithaaronlee.net/archives/113 But now need to get the following errors in the compiler Warning : package com.Data not found Warning : package com.UserInterface not found Warning : package com.Utils not found Warning : The MovieClip InfoScreen needs the class UserInterface.InfoScreen which was not compiled : Please force compilation of this class by adding it to the commandline. I have setup com.Data etc in the IncludePackages Array, but clearly this is incorrect. What do I put in the IncludePackages Array? How do I force compilation of each class by adding it to the commandline?
