I am having a problem with reading in a fairly large xml file (20000 lines)The problem is once i have loaded the xml file into flash, i start to parse the data into an array, during this period the flash file locks up for a few seconds.Is there anyway around this problem, or at very least somehow have a preloader to show how long it will take to parse the xml?Is there anyway at all to speed this up?
View 2 RepliesI'm having problems with Flash Player locking up my web browser. Any time I play a flash movie to make the browser crash (not responding). I've tried IE 8, Firefox, and Chrome all with the same results. Here are the specs:ATI Mobile Radeon driver version 8.632.0.0Flash version 10.153.64Windows 7 HP 64bit4GB RamDual Core AMD
View 1 RepliesI'm running Vista, 32 bit, and the latest version of Firefox. Any time I enlarge a video I'm watching on a website that uses the Flash Player, (youtube and others) to full screen, the computer eventually locks up. The video continues normally, but hitting escape does nothing to reduce the video back to the smaller size. I then hit CTRL ALT DEL and still nothing changes. The mouse can't move the cursor, hitting tab doesn't work, nothing.
I've tried uninstalling the Flash Player using the offline uninstaller, and reinstalling the latest Flash Player using the offline installer. I've gone to the Flash "about" page after each of those 2 actions to make sure that Flash is completely uninstalled, and reinstalled. I've also run CCleaner after uninstalling Flash Player just to make sure no registry entries, etc. remained.
I would like to use SWF files as source video data within a tool chain I am developing. The problem is, I can't seem to find a consistent way to convert them, and I'm concerned about the loss of quality that the conversion will introduce.
I actually even have Flash CS3, but the export process to anything other than swf is flaky at best. It does different things depending on what video format you export to, and doesn't seem to be consistent across Flash (fla) files.
The options I have come up with are:
1) integrate someone else's source code to parse/play back the swf files, and capture the output directly that way.
2) create some kind of frankenstein work flow using Air or Flex to play the swf and export each frame to an image format, and then read those into the application where I want the data.
Integrating someone else's code seems pretty gross to me. The code available that I can find is at least 2 Flash versions old, so I'd have to do a fair amount of work for this. And when Adobe releases the next version of Flash, I'll have to add support for the new features in myself anyways. Were I to write a player myself from scratch, using the SWF specifications Adobe has published (assuming everything is actually documented enough), I run into the same issue: continued maintenance on a regular basis. And for most likely undocumented (or slowly documented) features.
Creating a frankenstein work flow using Air/Flex seems like a smarter approach, but will be really cumbersome and most likely slow.
Has Adobe released source code for their player somewhere, or better yet, a (C++) library that I could use?

I've got a very annoying problem and I've not got a clue why it is happening. I've created my own FLV player in actionscript 3.0 and I want to create a Progress Bar for my player. I've done all the code for it but it doesn't work properly as the bytesTotal number is 4294967295 instead of the actual size of the FLV until the bytesLoaded gets to the size of the FLV and then bytesTotal suddenly equals the FLV size. [code]As you can see once my 17MB FLV file has loaded the bytesTotal suddenly changes from 4096MB to the actual 17MB size.So how comes the bytesTotal is not picking up the size of the FLV?
View 3 Replies1) If you have various instances of the player on the same page, would I be correct to assume that there is nothing in place to make sure that only one instance is playing at the same time? if so is there a way round this?
2) How would you go about reading from a dynamically created playlist? say for example for use in a record shop where each record has 2-10 tracks but records are being pulled from database.
Or would it be best to pull playlist directly from the database?

I am changing the flashvars variables v1=value&v2=value ect then after the flash movie runs I am changing the variables externally by javascript, so far so good.when flash first loads it reads the vars correctly.when I try to read them ( after the change ) it keeps reading the old values.[code]everything works except I cannot seem to read the changed FlashVars.

I have an XML doc that was exported from FileMaker Pro that I need to read into flash to get the variables from. The XML doc is laid out like this (shortened for brevity):
<FMPXMLRESULT>
<ERRORCODE>0</ERRORCODE>
<PRODUCT BUILD="06-20-2006" NAME="FileMaker Pro"/>
<DATABASE DATEFORMAT="M/d/yyyy"/>
[code]....
It keeps telling me a term is undefined and has no properties. This I've isolated to the backgroundArray.push statement. Just not sure how to fish the data out of that XML doc properly. What call would I use to iterate thru the different ROW tags to get to the DATA info?
I have a dynamic textbox in flash called vt. It has attached to it the following in a class file:
vt.text = xml.video.@vt[cv];
and pulls the information from an XML File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<playlist>
<video src='videos/video1.flv' vt='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'/>
</playlist>
Now for some reason only the letters a d g i l n o will actually display when tested with all the alphabet above.
UPDATE: Solved - Just needed to change the textbox AA to Use Device Fonts :) (New user cant answer my own question)
My loader component works when I publish to Flash Player 7 but not when I publish to Flash Player 8, why? The publish setting are for ActionScript 2.0 on both.

I have a swc plugin embedded in my product to stream live video to a group of recipients.The plugin uses the NetStream, NetGroup and NetConnection objects, the server I use to handle the RTMFP session is Influxis.One client creates a group as a publisher, and stream a live video.His Camera is enabled and I can see the video on the screen as well. The others connect to his group and play the video.Peer assisted Networking is enabled for both the publisher and the recipients.The plugin worked well in all 10.x versions (10.1/10.2/10.3)However, when upgrading to flash player 11.x, it stopped working.
-11.x to 11.x isn't working.
-10.x with 11.x isn't working.
-only 10.x to 10.x is working.
The server I use to handle the RTMFP protocol is Influxis.com I sent them the same question as well.The weirdest fact is that I'm using flash builder 4.6 with 4.6 sdk, which is aimed for flash player 11.1, and it is only working with 10.x flash players.
I'm having a performance problem that seem to be related to Flash Player 11.I noticed this mainly because Chrome auto-updates the flash player. So, it's now up to 11 in Chrome. During a sliding section transition, the flash player chokes and skips about 10-20 frames. In essence the content jumps, not a smooth transitions. You can see this at the following url. Using a browser with 10, plays as intended, a separate browser with 11, chokes and jumps ahead.
firstworldproblems-[url].....I have security sensitive site, that is more elaborate that I can't share here. But, the same issue is happening above.I'm using LoaderMax to load assets. Adding it to the stage and then animating them in from the left or right of the stage, using Tweenmax. The one I can't show is a series of images, 1280x640 pixels, 10 in total.Removing items from the stage when they are not visible, so I can get the CPU usage back. On Flash Player 10, this is working as intended.On 11 it jumps. I don't think it's the removing assets from the stage that's choking the player, because the above link has the same issue.I feel like this is a Flash Player 11 performance issue.
Here is the code I have and the flash file runs for about 10to 15 mins then stops updating from the dynamically created xmlfile and just hangs displaying undefined. Is there something wrongwith my code? The only way to clear it out is close the app andrestart it but that leads me to believe its a caching problem. Butbelow i did use some ideas about dynacially loading and unloadingthe content to stop the caching problem. I am not great at actionscript and only understand a little.

View 1 RepliesI'm writing an app that I want to ideally pull a random entry from a txt file. Each row of the txt document has 12 separate entries. When I use LoadVariables to read the file, I get the entire file. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to parse the individual lines.
I have so many questions I don't know where to begin...
First, do I need to use varName= in front of each item in the text file? Second, does flash anything that will allow you to read a file by line, then parse based on tab delimiters? Third, should I be using something besides loadVariables to retrieve data, or should I be using something besides a txt document?
this will get me started, but there is still the matter of randomly selecting a line in the txt document.
I would like to know if it's possible to tie Flash into physical devices, so the display is of course flash, but underlying input is from a physical device. Such as metal detector, water gauge, battery voltage, etc.

View 3 RepliesI have a normal XML file which i chucked together that works fine with the code i have below - this is obviously saved as an xml file as well. What I'm trying to do is generate an XML page using PHP. I have done so, works fine and reads as it should correctly when simply viewing the page in a browser, but when i try and read out the data in flash (loading in a php file instead of an xml file, everything is undefined!! Below is the flash code, which works when the load() link is changed to a straightforward xml file...
Code:

the header at the top of this PHP is generating the page as xml, so it should all be valid.
One of my buttons, flash will not read it as a button when I publish it and run the swf file. The cursor stays as a arrow meaning its not a button in the swf file. Inside of the fla file it is a button with a hit. There is no movie or tweening or anything like that. I think it's not reading it as a button because Flash is placing the hit behind the actual button. Inside of my button there is only 1 layer. When placing the hit usually it covers the button. But in this case, the hit is going behind the image. I think this is why when its ran, its not reading it as a button.
I even removed the AS3 code from the button to see if it was a coding error. Rather if theres code in there or not the swf should still read it as a button and the cursor should change to a hand by default. Because of this, I tried to create another button in another area on the stage to see if it's just that one area thats having that problem. I created a new button from scratch, placed a hit, no AS3 coding added, and it works. The swf reads it as a button. But with that button, I added a AS3 CODE to go to an external website and now Flash isnt reading the AS3 code for that button. Heres the code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.display.Loader;import flash.net.navigateToURL;
itunesBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoITUNES);
function gotoITUNES (event:MouseEvent):void{ var req:URLRequest = new
