[Flashcoders] cuepoints stop working

2014-01-03 Thread Randall Tinfow
I've got a bunch of 10 minutes flvs with embedded cuepoints delivered 
via browser.  At regular intervals, the video pauses at cuepoints and 
buttons are made visible.  Works great!


However, if the video is paused for more than a minute, the video ceases 
to pause.  I know the MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT listeners are registering 
because the buttons are becoming visible at the correct times.  The 
flvplayback.pauses, contained in the same function as the button 
visibility, are not correctly working, however.


Any clue why this might be happening or how to remedy?

TIA,

Randy Tinfow

It depends.  If you are developing video centric applications, I don't 
see a platform that comes close.  WatchESPN is the perfect example.

[Flashcoders] Re: OT: Interactive conferences (Merrill, Jason)

2013-01-24 Thread Randall Tinfow
We're transitioning away from Flash mostly and into the 
HTML/Javascript/CSS world of interactive development. We used to attend 
Adobe Max, but since we're doing less and less with Adobe products, what 
conferences would you suggest? What is/are the biggest and best 
interactive design conferences for people in our industry that use these 
technologies? Bascially, we were Flash developers and now do most of our 
stuff with Javascript/HTML/CSS to build interactive simulations and 
games for learning. What would be the equivalent of Adobe Max?


Great question.  Many, like us, are in the same transition as you.

Our key learning event for 2013 will be O'Reilly's Fluent Conference in 
San Francisco in May, followed by DefCon5, which is in our hood, NYC, 
late July.

[Flashcoders] 3D engine for dynamic text

2013-01-14 Thread Randall Tinfow
Know little about 3D for AS3, so I'm struggling to decide where to focus 
my efforts.  What's the recommendation for a library that will build a 
3D model and animate in realtime from input text?


Papervision3D
Away3D
Sandy3D
Alternativa3D?

Hopefully the learning curve will not bury me.

Thanks,

Same.

The way I've solved that is by using a Flash front end that sends data 
through the serial port to Alcorn McBride or Technovision video 
players.  The former are rock solid 24/7, high operating temperature 
range, high datarate capable, seamless loops and play lists, well 
documented, and run forever.  Technovision HD players are 1/6th the 
cost, less capable, have a .3 second blackout during search, but also 
run forever.  Technovision devices are much smaller, which is sometimes 
useful in space challenged installations.


Have had both running in museums continuously for more than 10 years.

When these installs fail, it's almost always a PC hard drive isssue.  
For us it's problematic since the installations may be 12 time zones 
distant.  That problem is going away since we've been using SSDs for the 
last couple years.

[Flashcoders] Re: Safe app certification

2012-09-28 Thread Randall Tinfow
 use VeriSign. $499.00 for the year

Yes.  Verisign is great for AIR.   They are really just certifying that the 
deployment has not been altered since the developer packaged it with a 
certificate.  Reliant on the integrity of the developer, which is what I can't 
afford.

I'm really looking for a third party cloud service that can scan a file then 
package and sign it.  Then there only two possibilities for infection:

- An infection in the cloud service
- An infection that the scan misses

That shrinks the exposure and will keep a very security conscious customer 
happy.  And I won't have to be worried about a disaffected employee taking down 
the Western financial system.  ;-)

Verisign might have a product, but the first line of contact is of no help. 

Thanks,
