ActionScript 2.0 :: Run A Little Slower Due To The Many Accounts And The Volume Of Server Traffic?
Oct 28, 2009
We have recently had to change servers for reasons beyond our control. The server we were on had limited accounts and what we are using now seems to run a little slower due to the many accounts and the volume of server traffic.Anyways, I have a couple Flash pages where customers can listen to audio clips. This is one of them:I have never had any issues with this before but on this new server, when you choose a song and click "listen", more often than not, a brief blip of the audio plays, stops for a few seconds and then resumes.This is the code I am using for the Listen button:
How would you, in actionscript 3 make a way to create, log-in, sign-out, etc. of user accounts? I'm mostly looking for an API i can use and if there is, how would I use it?Alternatively, if there is no way to do it in AS3 as that is a longshot, how could I do it in html using dreamweaver?FYI: this is for a website.
Here's what I want to ho: In firebug, there's a Net tab, where you can see all requests, which javascript is making to the server.I would like to be able to do the same with a flash object.What is the best way of doing this?
I'm a systems administrator at an ISP running many FMS 3.5.1 instances for an array of clients. About half of these FMS 3.5.1s fall over dead after 2-3 weeks of runtime. Specifically, 'fmsedge' becomes unresponsive to http/rtmp tests on port 80; NOT on port 1935. The process appears to be doing work (cpu time is nonzero), and it answers the phone - I can connect to port 80. But I can't pass traffic to the daemon.
Logs give no indication anything's wrong. I can't strace or truss java with any legibility, due to fmsedge living atop a multithreaded virtualmachine.This occurs regularly, but does not occur on /every machine/; only about half of them. Where it happens, it's at 2-3 weeks after process launch.how to collect additional diagnostics, so that I can find what's breaking in fmsedge and either prevent it.I am running on CentOS 5.3 (like RHEL-5), 64-bit; I install nothing but Adobe FMS, and used Adobe's installer.
I run a FMS 3.5 Server and I want to add additional FMS Servers and load balance the traffic. The plan is to use a script for the developer version of FMS that forwards two incoming FME streams to the different servers, so each FMS Server has all streams. Is there a script for this? In addition there is a need for a script that somehow redirects the users to the server with the lowest users/bandwidth in use.
I have a dashboard I created using Flash CS5 using CS5.5 and ActionScript 3.It seems that while this dashboard is running, the FPS gets slower and slower over time (over several hours) I am thinking that I might have a memory leak but I am not sure how to find out.The project is a Flash Projector exe that loads 8 independent swfs.Each swf file essentially calls a web service and gets XML dataThey then dynamically create a bunch of TextFields,assigns an event listener (Event.ENTER_FRAME) and animates across the screen.When the TextField goes off the screen, I clean up the Text field by removing the EventListenerremoving the TextField and setting the TextField to null.
wanted to know does action script work on Linux or windows what is the best platform to choose for integration. I have signed up for two unlimited hosting accounts, with [URL]..
I want to do the same as chatroulete does to ban people but in my case i want to detect multi-accounts on my web page with that.
This is what i want to implement: I want to save a value on the data base (that corresponds to the user that logged in) and i want to save it too on flash cache the only problem is that i don't know how to save values in cache.
Other question is: Is that possible with javascript to receive values from Action Script, how?
I have a flash site that calls a JavaScript function to track events inside of the application, the _gaq is already implemented in the section of the html and it works perfectly fine with one account:
function customTracker(clickEventName) { _gaq.push (["_trackPageview", clickEventName]); }
but now my customer wants to include special events from 3rd party companies and needs these to track into a different GA account. Before I try this out on the live server I wanted to ask if this would work:
function customTracker(clickEventName) { _gaq.push(["_setAccount", "UA-XXXXXXXXX-X"]); // the regular account _gaq.push (["_trackPageview", clickEventName]);
I am making a video chat application. When I start the application it running fine but after some time like 30-45 it creating some problem, like I have a volume controller in it, after some time when I use that volume controller for setting volume it is not doing changes in volume. But at initial stage all the functionality worked fine.
It stands to reason that an OS would have a memory limit for the FMS process. I have a video chat app to which I may need to connect 300,000 or more concurrent users. Has anyone done this? Would this break the bank? What's the most you've ever had connected at once?
The video portion of my app goes through a good CDN, so I don't think there's a problem there. But my chat room is all on one FMS instance. I see something in FMS docs in "configuring performance features" that warns, "Adobe recommends that you ensure that your total system memory usage does not exceed the process limit of your OS". Granted it's in the context of configuring media cache, but wouldn't the same apply to chat room size if the numbers get high enough?
I manage a number of academic computer labs, three of which are Mac OS X 10.5.8 units with Adobe Flash CS5 installed. Users log in using AD credentials and the client computers are managed with settings in OD Workgroup Manager (MCX records). The AD plugin is set to not force local home directories and users' home directories are located on network storage. ~/Library/Caches/* has been redirected locally, but no other folders are redirected.
Users have been reporting an issue where Flash sometimes appears to freeze during loading. I've been told this has been happening for about two semesters, but I was not aware of the issue until today. It sounds like students have been powering off the machines and logging back in, and hoping Flash will work on that attempt. When a 'freeze' is encountered the Flash splash screen appears and the status below the "Adobe Flash Professional CS5" text states it is "Copying First Run Files..." Checking the console, I can see that Flash appears to be attempting to access files, but is encountering issues. Dozens of times, I see errors like the following:
11/3/11 3:17:41 PM /Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Adobe Flash CS5.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Flash CS5[2801] Allocator race detected: transaction is not verified for -112/2 - Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5/en_US/Configuration/ProcScripts/svg/LineBrushArt10.svg [code]....
Messages like these, but listing different files, have been going on since I launched Flash at 11/3/11 3:06 PM.
I am creating traffic lights, but I'm new to flash. I have a timer that ticks 6 times. However, I want to make the timer refresh after 6, and on each tick, a different traffic light shows.So far I have this:
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(2000,6); var counter:Number = 0; myTimer.start();
I have this application that consists of two phases. Queuing phase and chatting Phase.The chatting uses UDP (a flash-app).So before the user enters the queue phase I want to check if UDP traffic is possible.I could do this both in the ASP.NET app (that wraps the flash-app) or in the flash-app.I'm not sure on how to do this in either of themMy initial thougth is to connect via UDP to some tiny webservice a server, but is there an easier way of doing it
I am using ZendAMP php and Flex (Flash Builder 4). It works great, but I noticed when I am looking at the traffic going between my flex application and ZendAMF, there packets moving even though I am not requesting communications in my code.For example, this is what my service looks like in flex:
var activityLogService:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject("zend"); activityLogService.showBusyCursor=true; activityLogService.endpoint="http://myserver:80/amf/";[code].........
Are these just some kind of 'keep alive' messages?If so, is there a way to turn them off? Also, if so, is there a way I can use them to keep some kind of session alive on the server side maybe (maybe that's what they are for)?
since i'll be asking so many qustion, I will put all my problem in one thread here I'm planning to make a traffic simulation with AS3.0
[Code]...
which will still run the if function when the error is below 1 pixel. but i dont really like things that isn't sure, specially I'll make tens of guide movements on the stage.
I've created a small music player with a sliding volume control. I'm having trouble with the volume. Though it does control volume properly, if I set the initial volume to less than 100%, the volume always starts at 100% until I move my mouse over the player. At that point, the volume changes to whatever the initial volume is set to.Is this a flash bug, or am I missing something? Here is the affected code (code for other buttons/functions omitted for brevity):
var song_initvolume:Number = 100; slider_1._x = groove_1._x + song_initvolume; playSong(0,song_play);[code]....
I'd like to be able to set the volume at say 50%, but the above mentioned behavior happens each time.
I'm building a video player and am kinda stuck at the volume slider part. It's a YouTube style vertical slider, meaning if the slider is in the top position volume should be 100% and if the slider is dragged to the bottom position sound should be 0. Currently it's doing the opposite of what I want :(
Dragging the slider down will make the sound louder, while dragging up lowers it.
Here is my code below dealing with the volume slider.
[Code]....
The (-4) is an offset value so when you drag it all the way to turn it off, it's 0 and not 4. I need to reverse this somehow, so the traces above will swap... going down will make userVolume = 4 and going up will make it 30.
I want to make these kind of game [URL] but in more compleks route, and i want to make the car can choose direction (straigt, turn left of turn right) but 1st thing 1st. i need a logical state for the timeline how the car works? how can i set the car run independently? because it can't be done in the main timeline. i'm guessing it has something to do the the action script, but i have no idea. i'm kinnda new to flash, this is the 1st time i want to create a AI-like programing with flash.
Is there a way to inspect HTTPS traffic from Flex applications compiled to SWF files?I'm trying to use Fiddler for this, have added DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot to my Trusted RootCertification Authorities so my IE now can access other HTML sites that would normally complain about untrusted certificate. However, the HTTPS traffic from the SWF file still doesn't appear in Fiddler and, in fact, the Flex app wouldn't work (HTTPS with a self-signed certificate is not supported by Flex apps I believe). Is there a way around it?Update: To be clear, I am interested in the traffic between the SWF file running under Flash Player and the server (typically, Flex components like HTTPService will be used for this). The SWF file itself can be served via HTTP or HTTPS, it doesn't really matter.Clarification 2: Don't assume that the source code is available for the SWF file. If it was, Flash Builder 4's Network Monitor could be used.
I've got a serious of games which in turn load off a main main swf.I have mute and unmute buttons on the main menu and the same buttons in each game.When I unload/load a game I want the volume to stay as it is so they player doesn't have to keep turning the volume off. AudioOff is the button shown when the volume is off and AudioOn is the button shown when the volume is on.The code I've got now keeps the volume on or off through the games but the buttons aren't showing up correct with this code..
if (SoundVolume.volume == 1) { AudioOn.visible = false;[code].....
It seems right to me but I don't know. The movie button slides down the slider bar but it just doesn't affect the volume. Going to try to attach my FLA to offer better insight. Just tried to upload it and no matter if it's FLA or zipped FLA, it says it failed.
Is there a way to increase traffic for flash web site. Is there an action script to make your flash website "visible" for others. I heard that if I build a flash web site it will be difficult to get customers due to the fact that flash pages usually don't show up in the data bases. Is it right?
so anyhow is there a way to increase traffic or make my flash site "visible' in search engines. do you think building a splash page in html and then redirect them to flash is a good idea?
I have a need to build a flash login page. No big deal, but I need to have six seperate login accounts. For example: Username: user1 Password: pass = link to [URL] Username: user2 Password: pass = link to [URL] Username: user3 Password: pass = link to [URL] and so on for up to six users.
Again the usernames and passwords would not change, but need to redirect the particular user to a certain page. stop(); var user_input = ""; var pass_input = ""; login_button.onRelease = function(){ if(user_input == "user1" && pass_input == "pass"){ getURL([URL], "GET"); }else{ gotoAndStop (3); }}
I'm creating a flash animation in Flash.When I'm publishing it and reviewing it on my pc runs all right.But, when I'm uploading on the web it runs much slower.It's like the animation has less frames per second.Why is this happening and how could I avoid this difference in performance.
I have employed two different methods to embed an flv movie in webpage, but both result in studdering because the movie catches up to the buffer. I can't figure out what is wrong... is the frame of 30fps rate too high? is my method of embedding the files and playback wrong? Or is it just a function of the viewer's internet speed?
