RE: [Flashcoders] problems with dynamic text field autosize property
I think you may be right. If you look at my code it works perfectly. I'm just pissed that it took something as stupid as getting the height of the textfield in 3 different variables. It actually works on the 2nd variable. You see I put all my code in functions. But, I don't use classes and prototypes and the like. I was thinking maybe it had something to do with that. Thanks for answering though.

[Flashcoders] problems with dynamic text field autosize property
Hi Everyone, I'm having a problem with the dynamic text field autosize property. The problem I'm having is that I'm not catching the correct height of the textfield directly after the textfield is filled with text. In other words, I create a dynamic textfield and give it a set width and then I set all the properties (selectable, multiline, wordwrap, embed fonts, autosize, html etc). Then I fill it with html text and then I get its height. If you will look at my code below you can see that I have the variables a, b, and c all set to question._height. Every single time I test this and trace it in the output window I get a =34, b=92, and c=92 (92 is the correct height of the textfield). Does anyone have an explanation? The text I'm filling the textfield with is loaded from the data base way before this code executes. It seems that the code is faster than the textfield can fill up. Is there anyway to detect when the textfield has filled and autosized? test_mc.createTextField("question_txt", 1000, 0, 0, 385, 0); question = _root.test_mc.question_txt; question.selectable = false; question.multiline = true; question.wordWrap = true; question.embedFonts = true; question.autoSize = true; question.html = true; //flash is taking too much time rendering out this text question.htmlText = ""+myHTML+""; //the following is jerry rigged and needs to be fixed a = question._height; trace("a = " + a); b = question._height; trace("b = " + b); c = question._height; trace("c = " + c); Thanks, Scott ___ 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] FLV Playback Issue From Network Path
Yes, we read and tried the livedocs article about using a .cfg file and that is still no solution for us. The application we are trying to build will run in a WAN. This means that the .cfg file will have to be installed on many users' computers. This is completely out of the question. As far as the player, we are using a version 7 .exe. The client is limiting us to UNC paths. This is killing the whole deal because it seems that .flvs and the components and stuff that were built to play them only work locally (on your computer) or over http.

If another person opens the application and calls the same flv file it fails to load. We have enabled the MIME types on our Windows Server 2003 for the FLV extension. We're completely stumped on this one.. as others have obviously been: http://labs.blitzagency.com/?p=80 This may be a limitation of flash, a bug or a general mystery. We've thought about diving into the world of third party apps such as Zinc. Does anyone have any thoughts or a workaround/solution? If not does anyone have suggestions on how to use a third party app to attain the same results?

RE: [Flashcoders] problems with unc paths in flash 8
With the way the client wants this app set up, there will be no browser involved. Basically the interface will be a flash 7 (I wish 8) exe that people in the company will run on their computers at work (around the country). The exe will get UNC paths from a database and use those to play the flvs within their LAN. Basically the app is video heavy! So they don't want to install the videos and so forth on each of the computers. They can't play them over the net either because they weigh so much. There are also security issues they have with internet -- so that is most definitely out of the question with them. My fellow programmers and I have read every bit of documentation out there on all the new flash 8 security stuff. We didn't find anything. Doesn't mean there wasn't something there. I was recommended to this discussion list by a friend and I wanted to see if anybody here knows anything. Like I said it works in Flash 7 exe, so I do have a work around. I just really want to use the new Flash 8 components.

[Flashcoders] problems with unc paths in flash 8
Hey Everyone, Does anyone have any idea how to get around Flash's new securities when playing an flv over a UNC? It works just fine in Flash 7. So the problem has to be with the new securities.
