ActionScript 2.0 :: Real Test To Simulate Slow Connection?
Jul 4, 2006
I'm trying to detect the user's connection speed by first loading a swf that i know the size of then taking 2 timer measurements before and after loading and then working out how fast they downloaded the file.
My problem is that when I try to test this locally using the 'Simulate Download' option in Flash I have to run the movie twice (it won't simulate 56k on the first run) and it looks like Flash has cached the movie the second time it runs (loading a 12k file in less than 100 ms wasn't typical of my old 56k connection!). I have 56k selected in the simulate menu. All of this is making it difficult for me to check how my movie loads and responds under a slow connection.

I'm developing a flash thingy that connects to the youtube api. The website that contains the flashthingy is developed locally on my computer. I don't konw why flash does this, but it doesn't connect to anything on the real web. E.g. the youtube api. As soon as I deploy the project to a real server everything works fine.
Since I have a lot of dev still before me I'd love to test this stuff locally. what I have to do in order to get flash connected to real websites?

I tryed to do this several times, and it didn't worked. The main problem is that if I test simulate the movie (56Kb) the preloader doesn't work. First it loads the entire file, then it loads the preloader which is not needed then, and the 2nd scene after that.

I've got a basic dynamic XML gallery on my website and I noticed that thumbnails in the gallery do not load on slow internet connections. They load only when I enter the gallery for a second time. The debug flash player doesn't throw any errors. Is there maybe some loader property that allows longer timeout for the loader to finish loading?

Basically, I have a main swf and a global.as file main swf defines: Global.vars.username = "me"; and main swf also loads inside another swf (account.swf) on that swf (account.swf) the following code is performed:
[Code]....
testing live on internet is the problem, if the computer/connection is slow the global variable isn't grabbed. Like if flash sometimes loads first what has to go inside txtWelcome.text before grabbing the content inside Global.vars.username

I'm creating a stand-alone player based Flash app. Some of the required elements within it are links to areas in a site online. I need to test before hand if the user has a connection. I'm stumped on this one. I'm not worried about NetConnection etc. I'm simply trying to test if the user has an internet connection or not. Would anybody happen to know if there is a function or some combination of methods that is not browser-based that can test for an internet connection?

As I understand it video over a connection of say 40Kb/s wont actually have time to load and make a buffer, and it'll be "glitchy", so it wont make much difference whatever buffering is put in place. I'm getting complaints about glitchy video. I don't have access to the servers serving the media so I put a load timer in a swf along the lines of averageLoadSpeed = (bytesLoaded / loadTimer.currentCount) / 1024;
Out of 5 tests run, 2 were below 50Kb/s. And I've been told the server also is not geared towards media and put priorities on other business tasks. The head of IT for this company keeps going at me about buffering, and how that'll fix the problem. I tried to explain that the speed is way too low (32Mb = 32768Kb / 24Kb/s = 1,365 seconds * 60 = 22min) enlighten me on buffering aside from wikipedia's explanation about IO streams.

Im trying to make connection from flex to java and from java to mysql. I managed to connect to java, but having error that class not found: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver. But i downloaded mysql.jar, included it added to library, and connection works when i testing it from clipse scrapbook. Dont know what to do, i spend last couple days on this.
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
String username = "username";
String password = "password";
[code]....
Basically the solution was simple. Everybody keeps saying to put jar into lib folder, so i done it, but i wasnt realised that i have to put into my servers lib directory, not app lib directory and this miserable mistake cost so much. Anyway i hope this will help for some newbie like me.In this particular situation im using red5, so i putted it into my red5 dist/lib directory and "surprisingly" its started to work.

I'm trying to test a custom Flex 4 skinnable component, using the FlexUnit UIImpersonator class. If I run my tests from a FlashBuilder Spark only project everything works fine. If I try to test from a project with the mx component set on the classpath I get a "getElementIndex not available in non Flex 4 projects" error.Can I unit test spark components in FlexUnits visual test environment while still having the mx component set on the classpath?
UIImpersonator delegates it's method calls to a "testEnvironment".The implementation used for this "testEnvironment" is decided by the VisualTest EnvironmentBuilder class and the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class. If the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class can find the "mx.core.Container" on the classpath it returns a MX environment, else a Spark environment. Only the spark environment has valid implementations for Flex 4 relevant method calls on the UIImpersonator - like the addElement method.

My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
This is the code that I put in for the buttons:

I have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.

In FlexUnit 1 it is possible to access the name of the currently-running test using the TestCase.getName() method because all tests subclass TestCase. In FlexUnit 4, however, there's no base class for tests; the tests are identified by annotations. So, how can I replicate the getName() functionality in FlexUnit 4?

I would like to know what my visitors will see when they visit my site without flash installed. Obviously I could uninstall flash to find this out, but I was just wondering whether there's some gimmicky add-on out there that can simulate 'no Flash'. Would be handy...

I'm developing an application for use on a tablet PC where the user has the option to make multiple selections with a List Component. I need the ability to simulate the CTRL key being pressed since the keyboard will most likely not be available so the user can select and de-select items from the list. I will most be attaching the code to a button that will open the List component.

I've done two Flash animations, and both, when I use the Simulate Download function, show what appears to be a digital artifact in the upper left hand corner. It looks like a series of small squares or rectangles briefly fluttering from left to right.As far as I can tell, this doesn't show up in the actual .swf. Has anyone else seen this? Is it a sign that I've done something wrong, or should I just ignore it?

I've been trying to create a new class of vehicle and simulate a somewhat realistic acceleration/velocity relationship and behavior but with no success.
At least, I can't figure out how to do what I want to do.
Which is this:I have a vehicle with a maxVelocity and an initialAcceleration properties, and what I want to find out is how to express the vehicle's acceleration with the two above mentioned variables so that the vehicle stops accelerating when it reaches its maxVelocity (meaning that acceleration reaches 0).
I believe there are some serious maths going on behind this seemingly simple thing, at least too serious for me, and I tried to remember what I learned years ago about arithmetic progressions and stuff like that but to no result other than a headache.
Does someone know how to do it, if it's actually possible. And if not, how you guys do to simulate an acceleration that looks like a car's gear.

I'm using Flash CS5 with AS2. However, there's this project I'm working on right now. When I simulate a download, the preloader is somehow skipped. I'm staring at a blank screen for a minute instead of a preloader and then the main menu pops up. You just see the preloader for one single frame.
Now the code for my preloader is really the standard code:
Actionscript Code:
stop();onEnterFrame = function(){
p = getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal();
percent_txt.text = String(Math.round(100*p)) + " %";
if(p == 1){ nextFrame();
delete onEnterFrame;
}}
I have some code on frames 2 and 3, but I tried to see what would happen if I left it out, and the same thing occurs regardless of there being code on frames 2 and 3. All I can really tell you that may mean something is the file size is 2.9 MB. Why Flash Player doesn't just display the preloader, especially since I've never encountered this before.

With several flashes I'm trying to create, I find that I need to know how to depict a line being drawn or a plant/vine growing (same concept right). Obviously frame-by-frame animation can be used, but that's quite tedious. There must be some other, more productive way to pull it off. Example of the vine: [URL] I've tried shape tweens with shape hints but it didn't render very well at all.
