View 2 RepliesSo to get around Flash security issues, I have a script to upload files to S3 by sending it to a PHP script on my server which then uploads it to S3 with server-side PHP libraries.
Now, I'm looking for a solution to downloading a file from S3 in the same way. I suppose the best way to do it is to somehow make a PHP script that downloads the file from S3, then sends it back to the Flash client?
But the one thing is, I don't want the file to hang around--I'd like to delete it when the process is done. I suppose I can just have the Flash client call another PHP script on the server that deletes the file after the load is finished.

View 2 RepliesQ1. I have 2 web servers, 1 FMS server, 1 File Server. Files when uploaded, will be stored in File Server. I need to play the file from client system, please let what configurations shall i make so that the request will be sent tot FMS from Client and From FMS to File Server and back to FMS and then to client as a stream. scenario: I want to play a video. Request will go sent from client to FMS Server, FMS server will fetch the file from File Server and Stream it to the client. Q2. In Flash PLayer, I need to play all types of videos including the videos which will require conversion to .FLV. I have to convert the vedio at the time of upload, Please let me know few conversion APIs which i will use in my system.

View 2 RepliesMy client has approx 12 different presentation .swf's all with a beginning, middle and an end (phew!). I need to build an interface that views those 12 individual presentations as thumbnails on a single page and allows my client to click and drag whichever ones they wish to use into a separate little container above and in-doing so create a new required running order (left to right) each time they use my interface... so that once they have decided that running order they can somehow use the result for their required presentation. They will be using this interface ongoing throughout the year for various presentations all that will require maybe just a few of those individual swf's in different orders.
View 6 RepliesI found a tutorial that showed how to create a navigation system that would load external SWFs. I am trying to create an image gallery in essentially the same manner but instead of loading SWFs, I want to load external bitmap images.However, when I replace the SWFs with images, I keep getting an error message:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Bitmap@3e91d2e1 to flash.display.MovieClip.at image_Loader_fla::menu_1/isLoaded()
So obviously, it is trying to convert the bitmaps to movieclips. Due to my newbiness with AS3, I'm not really sure what I need to do with my existing code to fix this issue.I've provided a sample of the gallery if anyone wouldn't mind taking a look.
P.S. In the sample I provided, you will notice that on mouse-over, an external will load. The only one that won't work is the first one (Home) as it is trying to load an external PNG.
I'm trying to play around using SmartFox Server in AS3. I've created a simple test swf that works from the Flash IDE, but when I publish and try to run the swf file I get the socket error that swfs with file-system can't use sockets. Is there a way to get a socket server going that will allow local swfs to use sockets?
View 1 RepliesI got a textfile who i am reading on a serverside script and passing it as a script to my client side as3 code. The problem is that i am using characters like ä,ö,ü,ß and this isn't well displayed. I tried System.useCodePage but the compiler complains about : 1120: Access of undefined property 'System'. It doesnt matter if I tried this on the first line of the 'Action' in the first scene or in the first line of the first .as file i am loading. (btw i am only working with .as file and not in the timeline). When i am importing flash.System.* the compiler complains he dont know useCodePage.

On top of this rectangle is a bitmapped (not vector unfortunately) pattern fill that needs to include some white/transparent pixels that should show the red color of the rectangle. How do you define this in SVG, if possible while avoiding the use of masks? The 'transparent' pixels keep coming up white instead of red.

View 1 RepliesI love MXML but am starting to notice some of its drawbacks. The main one I'm struggling with is its larger memory usage due to the need for binding. In the super simple code snippet below, which I've tested on Flex 4.0[code]...
My main question: is there any way to set variables in MXML that doesn't eat up memory? I'm aware that I can do this explicitly in AS and keep MXML as a bare bone structure but was wondering if there was an alternative path.
Secondary question: why memory usage in c different from a and b? I've looked up at the intermediate code and it seems like the const case still sets up some binding logic but not as much and have been wondering why that is.
I'm working with AS2 and running into a problem when loading a bunch of SWFs that share classes. I have a main SWF that loads several child swfs. The main and the children often share some core classes. The issue is that these SWFs were not all created at the same time, and some of the core classes have changed between SWF compilations. It appears that the first instance of any class to load gets used for all following references to that class - regardless of which version of that class was used in compiling the following SWFs.In AS3, the ApplicationDomain can be set to circumvent this issue, is there any that can be done in AS2 to avoid this collision/overwriting?
View 9 RepliesI have run into this problem twice now, for two different reasons. Technically the more recent time it isn't a roadblock, but rather I just want to avoid memory waste by not using nested functions for my event handlers.[URL]
The reason I've come to this forum is that I always went on my merry way, defining event handler functions on movieclips within functions, until today, I read "I really didn't like the idea of defining an event handling function within a method of a class. I don't think nested functions are a really good practice." in the archives of the BIT-101 blog. So I decided to try to extract these and assign only a reference to each movieclip that needs the function. The problem is, it's in a class - and I need access to the properties of the movieclip from within the function. I figured I might be able to extend MovieClip, but I don't want anything in the library, so I run into the problem of how I would use my new movieclip-extending class - I read something about using the Linkage name of "__Packages."+[classname] - is that really proper? Either way, my final question is - if it's not good practice to use nested functions within the class, where do I create my event handler functions?
I am working on a project where basically dealing with flv player and videos, am trying to play multiple flv videos of a 3d human character who is speaking out a number like 3550.Here we are using multiple video files and joining them like videos where character says 3 then 1000 then 5 then 50.The issue here is after every video there is a fraction of second where the character is disappearing from the stage which we can't afford because all the numbers have to be played at once to show it as one single digit.I know that this is not a script error but this is how the flv player plays, after one file there will be a delay to play the other.What can I do to achieve my goal and also can how we can download all the required flv files from server to client machine to avoid a streaming delay (All the videos are of 50 to 60 kb files).
View 2 RepliesI have a Flash based game for the browser which sends users' scores to a php backend script which stores the score and the user id in the database.
Now I have a url like www.example.com/update.php?score=200&uid=234
The problem is that this is very much exposed to an intelligent user, and he can use this url to store whatever score he wants in the DB. Also there's no real user authentication, and I don't intend to have one either, because it's really a tiny game.
How can I stop someone from calling the above url and updating his score on his own.
I have a problem regarding flash, actionscript3 and movieclips.
I have 2 videos(inserted as movieclips, each one in different frames 100 and 102). I want to gotoAndPlay the one on frame 102, but the other in frame 100 always starts at the same time. How do I play just the specific movieclip of frame 102?
P.S. If I order to reproduce the movieclip on 100, it starts as it should.
I'm working on a Flex application that uses MVVM. I understand that it's recommended to have a 1-to-1 mapping between views and view-models. How then do I avoid performing the same calculations and storing the same data multiple times if it is needed in multiple views?
For example, imagine I have a program that can load project files consisting of a list of items. The main tab of my application has an export button that should only be enabled if the project is valid so I create an isExportEnabled property on the view-model for the main tab. The calculation for this involves validating the project by iterating though every item in the project and verifying some attribute on each. I have another tab which has a "Print Project Summary" button so the view-model for this tab has isPrintEnabled. The value for this flag is based on the same criteria, whether or not the project is valid.
I could put the logic for determining these values in their respective view-models, but then I end up calculating the same value twice when a project is loaded. I could move isValid to the domain model but then the model becomes denormalized. What if a saved project is edited without updating the "isValid" flag? I could make a global "Project View-Model" for the entire project which calculates whether the project is valid and then have isExportEnabled and isPrintEnabled delegate to that. However, then I end up with a hierarchy of view-models which this article recommends avoiding: Applying the Presentation Model in Flex
is there a way to play sounds one after another avoiding overlapping without using the SOUND_COMPLETE event by SoundChannel? I have a few sounds to be played in order and using SOUND_COMPLETE would take me to add to many listeners.
View 3 RepliesImagine that you have a lots and lots of the same library item on stage - movieclips - and you want each of them to be clickable. Normally, you would iterate through each of these and register an event listener on MouseEvent.CLICK for each one. It seems to me that if there are large quantities of these items this could be quite inefficient - on memory mostly - to have all these event listeners. I'm trying to figure out if there's a more "central" way to do this, where your main document class just registers once with some kind of central dispatcher using a custom event? Any time ANY of the movieclips are clicked, that fires this custom event and you can just query the event to figure out which clip was clicked.
Each movieclip that is clickable extends an AS class through its linkage, and when clicked, dispatches a custom event. If I'm using the IDE to put a lot of objects on stage, and these objects have linkages to their own custom classes, I don't want to ALSO have to go into the main document class and have it iterate through these objects to register event listeners on each one. I don't really want the document class to have that much knowledge about these objects (loose coupling). I'd rather the objects "communicate" through this mediator and not really worry about knowing more about each other than what you can access through the custom event.
Can we perform client to client file transfer, client to server can be done by FileReference. but how do we do client to client transfer, for example if a user wants to send file to another user to whom he is chatting online.

I am trying to build a client-to-client streaming program - client 1 has a webcam and client 2 will connect to client 1 and be able to view the webcam. Is this possible using 2 swf clients? Can someone point me in the right direction as to what commands would be used to connect the two clients. I have tried: binary sockets Connect() where each clients points to the other and they both time-out NetConnection to try to point each client to one another to establish a connection, but no luck with that either; this seems more oriented towards streaming content to a flash media server rather than to another flash client.

View 0 RepliesWe're writing a flash application that can download a MP3 file, convert it to a Sound object, get the raw data and make some processing (like adding sounds, change octaves). After the processing, we want to send the data back to the server in chunks, so the server will be able to glue the data together and recover the new generated file. The problem is: if we send to the server "wav" pieces of sound, we are able to glue them together without any problem in the generated file. However, if we convert each wav piece to a mp3 file (so we can send a smaller file to the server) and join the mp3 files at the server, the result is a sound with some problems at the merge point.
This is how we load the mp3 file from the server:
sourceSnd.load(new URLRequest("sample url to mp3"));
sourceSnd.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, carregou);
This is how we convert each piece of mp3 to bytearray and wav:
