ActionScript 2.0 :: Different GetBytesTotal Behavior On Images Created With GD In PHP?
May 13, 2008
The XML file of the image list is created from DB and images are fed to flash through script which creates images on the fly with PHPs GD library. Images are shown and browsing through pictures works.The thing not working is the preloader. the loaded bytes are never equal to total bytes so the preloader never gets shown.
When I trace the getBytesTotal inside enterFrame I get two different numbers. First two frames the total bytes equal to 4 then on the other frames function returns the right size value of the file.This issue persist only when I feed the FLASH with GD images. If I pass the normal image file, the preloader works great.
I'm assuming the issue is when GD creates the image the fileSize is uknown. I tried getting the file size of GD created file by caching the created file, checking the filesize and passing it through headers but the preloader still won't work and getBytesTotal still returns 4 before giving the right size...

I'm doing my portfolio in FlashMX using Actionscript. Everything in that sites has a preloader.
Anyway, in the actual portfolio section I use variables form a .txt to load each work (that way I can add in a more easy way new content). The .txt contains location of images, text shown, titel, and some other variables. Each .txt is aprox. 350bytes.
The problem is that if the variables aren't loaded fast enough the content of each work is shown wrong.
Is there a way to calculate getBytesTotal() for variables ?

I currently have my preloader set to getBytesloaded getBytesTotal (etc.), before it plays the 1st frame of the entire Flash file, but I only want the preloader to load the first (let's say) 500 frames, then play them accordingly.

I am using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2 and am having a problem getting getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal to work properly. Probably I am taking the reading in the wrong spot, but I can't figure out where I should be doing it. The code will read an xml file which contains pictures and url links to where I want each picture to go, and then loads and shows a picture for 3 seconds, then goes on to the next one. I am trying to show the preloader bar "LOADING" by adjusting the _xscale as a percentage of BytesLoaded/BytesTotal. The code should work, but my getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal is either showing 0% or 100% and nothing in between. Here is my code and I have left some of my trace statements in the code below as well. The problem occurs in the this.onEnterFrame = function() which is about half way thru the code:

What's the purpose of the getBytesTotal() method of the Sound object since it returns the same value as the getBytesLoaded() method? Note that I mean streaming mode here.

Why do my preloaders never work? I'm looking to develop a system which reads mp3 files from xml and loads them all with loadSound during preloading phase, the idea is to add all the totalBytes into one var so I can display one percentage for preloading all the files. However, no matter what I try Sound instances getBytesTotal() methods always return undefined when swf is run from host, even though I can hear sounds playing when they load. Of course in test movie everything works fine. In this method of my PreloadManager class I wait for sounds to load:
Code:
public static function waitForSounds() {
PreloadManager.timeline.debug.text += "
waitForSounds()" ;

I am dynamically loading an image into a movieclip using a preloader but cannot successfully calculate the percent loaded since I cannot get the getBytesTotal() method to work. I understand why it is not printing the percentage but what I do not understand is how getBytesTotal is behaving. Here is a segment of my output. l means loaded and t means total.
Code:
l = 0
t = -1

i'm trying to load a series of external jpg images. What to be loaded is stored in an external xml file, which indicates the folder along with the file name pattern and the number of images. This is handy since images are numbered incrementally (image_1.jpg, image_2.jpg...) Finally, i need to position these images as a strip, that is, one next to each other horizontally.
I get the info out of the xml file without issue, the url are correct (if i paste them in the browser, i see the image file) yet, it seems there is an issue with my loading mc code.
[AS]
function doStrip(obj:XML)
{
var project = obj.firstChild;
var sequences = project.childNodes;

I am attempting to capture a very large image that was made dynamically within the Flash Player (the size of the image is 2400px by 12,000px) and am running into some very serious issues... Let me run down how the image get's to that size in the first place:
User adds elements to a canvas and then when the user is finished the canvas scales up to 2400px wide and ~12,000px tall. The problem arises when I attempt to save the image to the hard drive. Now, I dont know if this will affect the recommended fix, but the rendered image wont be saved on the hard drive, it will be sent to a server. I know about the ~4050px limit in Flash Player and was thinking I could get around that by clipping the images with the ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData() method and keeping the required Rectangle variable below 4000px then repeat that down the large image until it reaches the end where the final images will be pieced together at a later time. However... As i mentioned the error comes when it reaches the 'fileReference.save(pngImage);' method..

I have only one question but phrased it 3 ways:
1) Is it better to pre=render things say in photoshop or have flash render them?
2) if I have a field of stars that drift along; is it better to create that Star Field in photoshop as a single picture (say a .png) or to create a star in my library and add it to a movie clip and then have that drift along?
Lets say I have a blur effect on my stars and have an equivalent on the photoshop.
3) I have heard (and experienced) adding effects like blur takes a fair amount of CPU and memory so was wondering if I created the effect in photoshop and then imported the 'blurred' object into my flash if I could cut down on system resources?

I just exported a FLA file as a quicktime movie in CS4 using the 'animation' setting, and it produced quirky results. A 'ghost' of each object was left on screen, apparently at the point where a keyframe was present in the original FLA file. Don't know how else to describe it, and I don't think there is a way for me to upload the movie for anyone here to see? Anyone experienced this? or know a way round it? I did manage to get it to play right when exported with the 'DVC PAL' type codecs, but the quality was awful. All the other options produced results at least as bad as the first attempt.

I would like to improove the behavior of my buttons in this way: i have 3 buttons (pix1, 2, 3)when you roll over each button the color is grey.how can i do to let the color grey when my mouse roll out off each button? for exemple I roll over on pix1 the color become grey and after I roll out of pix1. the color stay grey. It is just when I roll over on pix2 or pix3 that pix1 become back black and pix2 or pix3 become grey.for the moment it is like this : http:[url]......
I wrote this code: // size of the stagevar largeurScene:uint = stage.stageWidth;var hauteurScene:uint = stage.stageHeight;
//bt01 is a button called btserie01. I have juste written pix01var bt01:btserie01 = new btserie01();bt01.x = 90;bt01.y = 150;addChild(bt01);[code].........

I'd started a discussion about a problem with a SWF file not loading an XML data file when rendered in a .NET WebBrowser control in a different forum [url]
Further investigation has revealed that if the XML data file is loaded using Action Script 2 (via XML.load()), it works. But if the SWF file in question uses Action Script 3 (via URLLoader.load(), I think), the data file is NOT loaded, UNLESS the XML file is in the same folder as the HTML file.If either SWF file is loaded using Internet Explorer 9, then everything works OK. Are there any know issues (which would be apparently well-hidden from Internet search engines, because we've been beating on those) regarding the performance of SWF + Action Script 3 + .NET WebBrowser?
It's just so weird that there are ways to coerce the AS3 solution to work by moving files (not really an option for what we want to do), and that Internet Explorer 9 has no trouble, but the WebBrowser control (which everyone SAYS "is just a wrapper for IE") does NOT work the same way.

When you open the website and load the contaner with all mc,there is two situations:
1) Load perfectly and my container 3D effect is not so CPU Intensive and works smooth
2) My container with all _MC is very slow and eatin the CPU. The 3D effect is totally screwed up. The container is scaling it self all the time on the x-as and y-as.
Open the a new browser and set it to max view (not fullscreen) then open the domein URL...I use Tweener addTween() for the 3D effect... off course if i turn it off its all fine.. But i like this 3D effect so much.

I fixed the problem I was having with my TextArea - just as I thought, it was the CR characters throwing off the selection position. Stripping them out fixes everything. Now I have a different problem, though.My program needs to save text files as well as open them, and on a Windows machine, linebreaks are indicated with CR+LF: Wordpad is smart enough to recognize lone LFs as linebreaks, but Notepad isn't (and even then, saving the file in Wordpad will reinstate all the missing CRs). Is there any way I can detect what linebreak system is used by the OS so I can save files properly?

I have a programmatically-generated text field that looks like this:
Code:
var tf:TextField=new TextField();
tf.styleSheet=styles;
tf.embedFonts=true;
tf.antiAliasType="advanced";
tf.selectable=false;
[Code]...
Has anyone else noticed this odd behavior? It's too distracting and unprofessional-looking to leave the way it is, but I'm not sure what my alternatives are if I want to include links in the text (which is imported from an XML file).
this is in Flash CS3. EDIT: If I don't embed the fonts, the "problem" goes away; however, I'm left with non-embedded fonts.

Why are `MOUSE_OUT` events handled differently for X and Y mouse moves when leaving a Sprite?How do I fix this in my code?
`MOUSE_OUT` occurs when `x==0`, but not `y==0` (you need to go to `y==-1`):
Code:
private var _sp:Sprite;
public function test( ):void
{
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
[code]....
Here is a trace from moving straight up, with `MOUSE_OUT` on -1 ...
mv -- 7, 3, 17, 13
mv -- 7, 2, 17, 12
mv -- 7, 1, 17, 11
mv -- 7, 0, 17, 10
out -- 7, -1, 17, 9
And here is a trace from moving straight to the left, with `MOUSE_OUT` on 0 ...
mv -- 3, 7, 13, 17
mv -- 2, 7, 12, 17
mv -- 1, 7, 11, 17
out -- 0, 7, 10, 17
Is this a bug? Or is there a flag somewhere I have not set?

I know the Loader's class unloadAndStop() supposes to unload and stop everything on a SWF's stage when I load one, but does it also changes objects within the library (even if they are not on stage?).I'll tell my problem to clear it up. I am loading SWFs dynamically into my application and extract required symbols from them using applicationDomain and getDefinition. The stage of the SWF/FLA I am loading is empty, and all I have are exported symbols in my library.
The problem happens when I load symbols which have pre-compiled clips inside of them (in my case, a Partigen emitter, but I don't think it really matters), which probably has event listeners or timers - the code on these clips stops working and acts weird. I assumed unloadAndStop removes a required event listener from it, but not sure why (again, it's not on the stage). I am forced to use unloadAndStop on my loaders, since my designers put all their assets on the stages in numerous FLAs and now going back and changing it will cripple the company's work.
I'd write my own kind of unloadAndStop that filters these pre-compiled clips or checks what's truly going on there, but I am pretty sure that unloadAndStop does things which are unavailable through the API.
