Re: [flexcoders] Red 5 Flv Player
Hi Sajid, Sorry that I didn't notice this email earlier. Buffering can be tricky. ;) Before you go to far down the line of developing your player, you might want to look at the Jedai project first. We are building a whole framework and a series of components to work with Red5 and FMS. Please ask the guys there about your question, and it might be nice to have your help on the project. The FLV Player component would be a needed addition to the project. http://jedai.googlecode.com or contact Project leader Dominick Accattato at dominick (at) infrared5.com. -Chris On May 8, 2008, at 4:46 AM, Sajid Hussain wrote: Dudes , I m creting Flv player for red 5 , all functions are mostly done but I m stuck with its buffering bar . u may say I dont have more knwoldge about buffer :P but could any one suggest how to create buffer bar ?

Re: [flexcoders] flex bluetooth.
Jim's right. This is way beyond the scope of Flex by itself. I feel like a broken record because I keep suggesting Red5 (http://osflash.org/red5) on this list, but in this case (like many others) It could be just what you need. It in this scenario Red5 would be used as a sort of proxy to do the Bluetooth communication. There are some Java libraries for bluetooth that you could hook up and use with Red5. Or you could use JNI to do the communication to a C++ application. Then you could have calls from Flex/Flash sent either through RTMP or remoting then get broadcasted to your Bluetooth device via this Java API. There's also a book on the subject of using Bluetooth with Java: http://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Java-Bruce-Hopkins/dp/1590590783 I certainly think that it would be a pretty cool and novel way of using these technologies. I would love to hear more about it if you have some success getting this to work. I hope this helps and good luck. -Chris On 3/2/07, Jim Cheng [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tom Chiverton wrote: Does the bluetooth keyboard work without Flex, i.e. with Notepad ? If not, it's not Flex's fault, and we can't help. If it's something that's not handled natively by Windows (for instance, Bluetooth keyboard or mouse), getting it to work with Flex is probably beyond the scope of this list. Gunadi's best bet at that point would be to access the appropriate driver for the device using an adapter program and exposing the API to it for Flex to use via a socket or ActiveX control. If an ActiveX control already exists for accessing the particular Bluetooth device, a third party extender like Zinc or SWF Studio might be able to do the trick via direct API calls. Unfortunately, such solutions are more hackish than not and are unlikely to work well outside of IE (with additional trusted ActiveX controls) or a third party wrapper to the SWF.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: FDS/Hibernate Sample of updating hierarchical list of values
Hi Simon, I'm one of the leaders for the Red5 project (http://osflash.org/red5), and I also run a consulting business focused on Flash, Flex, Java and Red5. I saw this post that you sent to the Flexcoders list about the troubles that you are having with FDS and Hibernate. I thought that it might be worth your while to look at Red5. Integration with Hibernate through the Spring context is really well established and of course Red5 is open source so you could conceivably fix any problems that might arise. I know that others have successfully integrated Red5 and Hibernate with little or no problems. It would be great to get more people to look at using Red5 as an alternative to FDS. Right now, I don't think that people realize that you can even do this, not to mention the power in doing so. Anyway, feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and good luck with your project. -Chris On 2/23/07, simonjpalmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: PW and Jeff, PW, you and I seem to be in the same boat. I am trying to fight off the people who were flex skeptics to start with. Not being able to write data back makes the whole thing look pretty amateur and confirms people's belief that the technology isn't ready - which given this experience it clearly isn't. The baby is definitely at risk of being thrown out with the bath water. It stands in our company simply because I have the final call as Technical Director (CTO if you are in the US). I am a huge flex advocate and really doing my best to evangelise on the topic. What's more I think that the bridge to operational data is the most profound leap forward for flash, it takes it out of the world of gimicks and into the world of real business applications. Jeff, you and your and team deserve huge credit for that vision and excellent execution. However, much as it pains me to say it, the bottom line is that the hibernate middle tier provided does not work, as PW and I (and a host of other people on various forums) have found. I know that I can re-write the whole thing myself and will probably have to, but when introducing new technologies it is unfortunately all about initial perception. I have made a career of doing this sort of thing myself and I have seen excellent projects fail to fly because of low initial quality, even though we fixed them immediately, the damage was done because people's impression was that they were flaky. I'm sure you know it is hard to get back from that first impression and the word of mouth that springs from it. Once it becomes entrenched that opinion becomes fact and you are irrevocably lost. If I were Adobe I would be a little worried about the tone of the posts I am seeing about integration with Hibernate. The Hibernate Assembler is very important and I would really hate to see that happen to it. The corollary is very unfortunate. That little bit of technology transform the boardroom conversation about FDS. Suddenly the cost of the licensing of FDS becomes justifiable against the dev cost savings because we can just plug into the ORM. Having made that justification myself it is very difficult for me now to go back and say, by the way I also have to incur the dev costs. When asked why? I have to confess that the Adobe code doesn't work and we don't know when we're getting a fix. For the Flex/Flash skeptics in the room that's a god send. For me it is a complete nightmare. It is hard for me to separate the cost of FDS licenses (which is almost prohibitively large) against the cost of dev. I would urge Jeff and Co to get the Hibernate Assembler code watertight and shipping asap. If I can be of any assistance I will gladly offer my services. If either of you would like to contact me, post a reply and I will happily give you my details.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: FDS and licensing issues
Chaitanya, Depending on what you are doing with FDS you could more than likely use Red5 in its place. Red5 is now supporting AMF3 with remoting and RTMP sockets. It also does video and audio streaming, which FDS doesn't do. We have been building a few applications using Flex2 and Red5, and so far things have been going well. One thing to keep in mind though, is that Red5 is still pretty new and still under heavy development. At any rate, you way want to look into it as it's an open source solution. I'm one of the leads of the project so of course I'm coming at this with a bias. Just want to clarify that before some people jump all over me for suggesting Red5.

[flexcoders] Red5 now supports AMF3
Hey everyone, I'm sure that some of you may have seen this, but since it should make an impact on Flex coders, I thought that I should pass this on. We just released a new version of Red5 yesterday, and now Red5 ( http://osflash.org/red5) is supporting AMF3, either via remoting (HTTP) or over RTMP for push style messaging. Of course it still can also do video and audio streaming to and from the Flash player and a whole lot more. I can't wait to see what kinds of Flex applications people build using this new technology! Please try it out and let us know what you think. A huge thanks to the entire Red5 team for their hard work! -Chris

It could be that your int is outside the accepted range. Below was cut and

If i 0xF000 || i 0x0FFF, the value is promoted to Number.
Other than that thought, I have no idea why it's not working for you. Sorry.
