[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Flashcoders] FLV issues on Mac PC To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hello, We're creating a training CD-Rom that uses multiple swfs and FLVs. One of the requirements is that the CD-Rom work both on a Mac and PC. We're having some difficulties getting the FLVs to play on the Mac. The problem seems to stem from differences in how the Mac (Safari?) pull FLVs. If I have the FLV on the root directory of the CD-Rom with the main_application.swf file, it plays fine, but if I have the course directories structured how I would like (explained below) it wont play on the Mac. It continues to play on the PC. I would like to have all my swfs organized in volume-chapter folder structure, and all the FLV videos in a separate Videos folder at the root level. Since the main_application.swf loads in other SWFs, the loaded swfs are treated as if they too are on the root level (instead of e:\volume\chapter\loaded_swf.swf). This would seem to work fine, because then I could still point al the swfs to look for the flv in the videos directory at the root, but like I said, unless I have the FLVs on the root level they won't load. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get this system to work on the Mac. If I put all the flvs at the root level it will work, but we're looking at some 50+ flvs, and that would be really cluttered and un-organized. We'd also like to avoid using projectors, since this will eventually be moved to the internet. Thoughts or suggestions much appreciated. Let me know if you need further clarifications.

Re: [Flashcoders] Bitmap text (no anti-alias) still aliasing?
Hi Matt, certain characters are definately something I've had before too. The solution I've found for static textfields is break the text apart. Modify Break Apart x2 . Cheers Nick Phil Chung wrote: Matt, I've found that there are 2 common reasons why bitmap fonts are blurry in some regions: 1) The textfield has been stretched to a size other than 100% (even 100.1% causes issues). Check your Transform panel to make sure. 2) Certain characters within the text can cause problems. For example, I'd previously pasted some text from MS Word into a text file and loaded that into a textfield with an embedded bitmap font. Parts would be crisp, but others blurry. I narrowed it down to the apostrophe that was pasted from MS Word (other characters can also cause issues). Once i replaced it with a plain apostrophe, it was all good. Not sure if either of these is the cause for your situation, but its worth a try.

Alias, My apologies - I was a little premature in my last post. It looks like Flash doesn't properly calculate the height of static text field using a device font IF you select Use device fonts and select a particular font. However, if you use font = _sans as you suggested (which forces the use device fonts setting), then Flash does calculate the height correctly. In other words, if you're using a device font, Flash will properly calculate the height if the font is _sans, _serif, or _typewriter (which is exactly what you suggested); but not if you use another font. All in all, this is a pretty good workaround for my particular project, but I still wonder why the Bitmap text (no anti-alias) setting doesn't work as you'd expect? Thanks again.

As you suggested, using device fonts does in fact fix the anti-aliasing problem However, giving up the ability to use masks seems like a pretty serious compromise. Another problem this causes - I need to be able to determine the height of these text fields, and it looks like Flash isn't able to properly determine the height when device fonts are used. In other words, if you have a clip containing only a static text field that uses device fonts, Flash won't properly calculate the height of that clip. Is there a way around this issue too?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash lite - MP3 player
Its not possible with the dev version of FL due to memory restrictions I have made a 3gp audio player, but that's a bit of a hack really.

Is this true even using external device sounds Yes - heres the problem with Flash Lite sound: Native sound is poor - so its fine for game effects, maybe voice sound, but in terms of music playback I don't think its good enough. However with native sound you can at least use close to the full memory available to the FL player. Device sound is great, even if it does have limited control. However it consumes double the memory, once to load the sound file and hold it in memory and then the same amount of memory again to pass the sound over to the device for playback I am not sure why this is the case but thats how it is for FL2.0 dev player. It would be great if FL sound was the same as video where the whole playback is just forwarded to the device. So there are no FL memory limitations. The only saviour would be when, for example, Nokia actually deploy the player that they either provide 6 or 7 mb of memory for FL2 (unlikely) or they provide a custom api for music playback. IMHO music (along with Video) is one of the biggest pulls on mobile so I think it would be a real shame if the deployed player has the same music limitations as the dev player.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Lite - what's happening
carriers have total control in Japan which is what makes such a great development environment for content - you have 2 carriers with consistent platforms across devices - add to that DRM and you have a very nice platform for development. The thing with FL over there is that its used as a very basic content type, so animation and erm animation rule. There is very little usage beyond that. What is happening outside of Japan is that the content is completely different - there will be some cross over where concepts that worked in Japan will happen outside with FL but I think that will be a very small percentage of FL content outside Japan. In terms of FL2.0 timeframes - handsets have a long production lifecycle, end of story. So the only way FL could be here quicker is if FL2.0 was created sooner ;) Cheers Nick Anthony Lee wrote: i read somewhere that flash lite is far more popular in Japan Popular yes, but not due to a more conducive environment.

Re: [Flashcoders] Streaming Audio to Mobile Devices with FlashLite 2
well there are no phones with FL2.0 installed at the moment, so thats pretty straight forward :) if you are using loadSound (device sound) then FL consumes the size of the sound file in memory to load the file and then the same again to playback the audio. So if a device has 2mb of memory you really cant load and play a sound much bigger than 980 ish kb. This memory doubling is not the case for embeded sound, but then embedded sound sounds a lot worse than device sound. In short, if you want to get around memory and sound playback quality restrictions in Flash Lite 2 then you should use the device video playback and stream (rtsp) or load locally the sound as a 3gp or mp4 video file! Not sure how caching works with rtsp but as its a streaming protocol I guess it doesnt cache, in terms of Flash Lite, it will just pass any video off to the device so the caching will be device dependent Cheers Nick Jeff Mastropietro wrote: I'm looking for information on the most widely supported audio file types on mobile devices the have FlashLite 2 installed.

Re: [Flashcoders] Streaming Audio to Mobile Devices with FlashLite 2
well if they are full length mp3s then its no go, unless you transcode to 3gp and then do rtsp direct to flash lite but really rtsp isn't that valid an option unless you are working with an operator, if you arent working with an operator in some form then users will have connection issues with rtsp and they will get massive data bills too! Cheers Nick Jeff Mastropietro wrote: The application I need to prototype is streaming music from a user's collection on our servers to their phones on request. The application will prompt for login information, and authenticate on the server before allowing access. Then there will be an interface that will allow the user to select a track, or playlist to listen to. The music files in our system are currently stored as 192k bitrate MP3s. Obviously the MP3s as they are too big to stream to the device. I was trying to get a feel for if downsampling the MP3s to a lower quality would be acceptable, or if transcoding them to a different file format is a better idea. Jeff Nick Gerig wrote: well there are no phones with FL2.0 installed at the moment, so thats pretty straight forward :) if you are using loadSound (device sound) then FL consumes the size of the sound file in memory to load the file and then the same again to playback the audio. So if a device has 2mb of memory you really cant load and play a sound much bigger than 980 ish kb. This memory doubling is not the case for embeded sound, but then embedded sound sounds a lot worse than device sound. In short, if you want to get around memory and sound playback quality restrictions in Flash Lite 2 then you should use the device video playback and stream (rtsp) or load locally the sound as a 3gp or mp4 video file! Not sure how caching works with rtsp but as its a streaming protocol I guess it doesnt cache, in terms of Flash Lite, it will just pass any video off to the device so the caching will be device dependent Cheers Nick Jeff Mastropietro wrote: ___ 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@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@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 Lite 2.0 phone list
The majority of Non-Nokia devices listed are Japanese handsets with FL1.1 or FL1.0 preinstalled. - All the phones that could be supported using the current technology once distribution deals with the manufacturers are sorted out No - any phones there are because the deals have already been done - All the phones that the current player will run on once the current testing period is over. I assumed FL2.0 is final and only the IDE extension is pre-release software - All the phones that the Flash Lite 2.0 player could be ported to if someone pays Macrobe to do it. FL2.0 could be ported to literally any phone if someone pays :) Which of these applies will make a big difference to the speed of adoption - if the current player will be released for all these models in a few months then this could become quite big pretty quickly - otherwise its going to take a while. The issue currently is that is that although there is a long list of Nokias that FL will run on, will a player ever be distributed for those phones? The short answer is that unless the old MM policy has changed with Adobe - NO! Nokia will distribute the FL player in its emerging handsets, in fact it has already started in Asia with the N90, most probably worldwide with the N91 this month. But the older Nokia's will never get a FL player unless someone pays for it. IMHO this is a massive hit that only the developer community and consumers take, even if it does also have a slight impact on the growth of the FL content market which is still pretty immature outside Japan. The only situation where older Nokias will get FL2 is where a service provide/operator decides to license the player for its customers with existing Nokia handsets, however that is not necessarily a smooth process because each player is IMEI tied and therefore cumbersome to deliver OTA. Hope that helps a little. cheers Nick ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
