[flexcoders] P2P multicast and upstream bandwidth

2012-01-26 Thread Haykel BEN JEMIA
Hi,

I'm in the process of developing a realtime video chat application where
multiple users can send video streams simultanuously. The number of users
receiving the streams can be very big, e.g. 10 broadcasters and 500
receivers, each receiver should get all streams.

I use RTMFP connections to an FMS and streams are published in P2P
multicast groups by passing the groupspec to the NetStream constructor.
Currently I'm having problems with audio/video synchronization and video
stream 'jumps' (not continuous). From what I read in the internet, this is
related to the fact that there is not enough upstream bandwidth for sending
the streams. So my questions are:

   1. How to calculate the required upstream bandwidth on every peer for
   the given example of 10 broadcasters and 500 receivers (is it 10*bandwidth
   of one stream)?
   2. What settings (on NetStream, Camera, Microphone etc.) should be used
   for best results and how to adapt them based on the number of broadcasters?

I hope my questions make sense!

Thanks,

Haykel Ben Jemia

RE: [flexcoders] Exiting from a Flex app

I think you can call flash.net.navigateToURL() to change the browser page. When 
you change the page, the instance of the Flash Player playing the old page will 
get terminated.

Subject: [flexcoders] Exiting from a Flex app



I realize this is beginner stuff, so I apologize for having to ask this,
but how do I terminate a Flex app? The application will be running in a
browser.

This is a Flash encoding application, that grabs the user's camera,
connects it to a net connection, and sends the stream to a Wowza server.
The guts of the application are working fine, but I'm putting in error
handling now. If the app starts up and either can't find a camera or is
not given permission to access the camera I pop up an Alert box warning
of the issue, and I'd like to then bail out of the application (perhaps
direct the browser to return to the previous page?). I've been able to
find instructions on how to terminate an Air application, but not an app
running inside a browser.

[flexcoders] Re: Evaluating a Boolean String Expression

2012-01-26 Thread BillF
The simple workaround is to pass a remote object into my class and call a 
(very) simple web service to evaluate the expression.  In this case, I wrote a 
simple coldfusion web service that returns the result of 
Evaluate(booleanExpressionString).

Seems like a dreadfully simple thing that is missing from ActionScriptjust 
saying.

RE: [flexcoders] Evaluating a Boolean String Expression

2012-01-26 Thread Merrill, Jason
Separate out the (, ), |,not etc. by splitting the string up based on what you 
find. You could add some logic to split the string into an array from where 
those characters are found and look to the values to the left if an OR (||) is 
found, for example. Then put that logic into a function like below:

(Add in your complex logic to a function like this:)


  /**
  * Converts a string representation of a boolean to a true boolean value.
  * For example, it will convert "TRUE", "False", "true", "TruE", "f", or 
"T" to a real boolean (true or false).
  * The input string is not case-sensitive.  Acceptable arguments are the 
word "true" or "false", or the letter "t" or "f".
  * @param value the string to convert to a boolean.
  * @return representation of the string as a true boolean value.
  **/
  public static function stringToBoolean(value:String):Boolean
  {
var boolean:Boolean = false;
if (value.toLowerCase() == "true") boolean = true;
if (value.toLowerCase() == "t") boolean = true;
return boolean;
  }

No small task though.

So, I have a string expression that I need to evaluate as a boolean result. Any 
ideas on how to do that? The expression can be in any valid boolean format..

example1: "(true && false) || true", evaluate to true
example2: "false || (true && not true)", evaluate to false
example3: "false || true", evaluate to true
example4: "true && false", evaluate to false
example5: "true"

Thanks Rishi. Yes, I'm familiar with that post. The thing is that she calls 
(for instance)  navigator.poppedViewReturnedObject.object;

The problem is that you can do that from within the mxml file, but I don't know 
how from an .as file.

Hi All,

I need to call navigator.pushView from an .as file in an AIR mobile project. 
But since I'm in an .as file and not in the .mxml file, how do I get access to 
the ViewNavigator? I don't think I want to import ViewNavigator and instantiate 
it because there should be only one in any given project.

Anyone know?

Thanks.
