I need to be able to take the meta data duration value for an flv and split it up into three separate variables: hours, minutes, seconds.
View 1 RepliesI have a string that is sent from PHP to Flash. When I Trace the string in flash, it prints the followings:
First Name: Mickey
Last Name: M

I must be doing something wrong it is not working. In my map1.as I have
Code:
public class Map1 extends Object3D{
//load skins for planets
[embed(source="sunmap.jpg")]
private var sunskin:BitmapFileMaterial;
private var sun:Sphere;
[Code] .....
I am using Away3D engine. I get no errors but I also just have a blank screen.
Have an array which contains items in a comma delimited list such as below:
Code:
men,women,kids
outdoor,adventure
holidays,adventure
Am trying to use toString().split to further seperate them into individual entries in the array and it ain't working.

I'd like to be able to resize the stage according to the size (and aspect ratio) of the video - to do this so far I've been trying by using an external function call to javascript:
Code:
function onMetaData(info:Object):void {
objInfo = info;
ExternalInterface.call("videoPlayer.resizeVid", info.width, info.height, mcVideoControls.height);
tmrDisplay.start();
}
As you can see it happens on meta load, and in order to do that I have to attach the net stream, start playing the video to load the meta data, and then pause it:
Code:
ncConnection = new NetConnection();
ncConnection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
ncConnection.connect(null);
[code].....
What's happening is the player loads up at it's original size, and then with a jolt is resized as required, but responsiveness and load time of the video is very bad and hangs the browser quite easily...
1) Is there some sort of threaded pre-load I can use so that the video doesn't load with such a jolt and the responsiveness of the player isn't compromised
2) is there a way of obtaining the meta data of the video without loading it fully?
this is a part of my code

is there a way to split up a sentence say 30 characters each into there own variables. I've seen this done before. --sum up take in a variable and give out a few other variables, each 30 character cut ups of the first var. (note: i have a sweet rpg with like every code possibly imagined and a engine thats almost done this is my only draw back i have a metheod right now but i dont like the system i have made to insert data into boxs and you hit space to get info. like a "a" button for a GB game. This will allow me to write an entire sentence.)
View 2 RepliesI'm migrating an old project to AS3 and I'm having some problems make the conversion.
I have a text file called "variables.txt" formatted like this (note the jump form p9 to p11) Quote:
&p0=1|0|4|1|8|0|0|29|14|1|6|0&
&p1=1|0|4|1|8|0|0|29|14|1|6|0&

What I'm trying to do is convert all those text variables into an array that will be accessible throughout the presentation.
I am having trouble getting audio stream meta data from an Akamai FMS stream. Everything is undefined and I'm not sure why. I am hoping maybe someone will notice something that I am overlooking. The stream is connecting and playing without a problem I just can't seem to figure out why all the meta data is undefined.

Been butting my head against the wall on this one. Im making a news app that loads xml data and diplays the data onto 3 seperate textfields. The 3rd textfield has auto size set to true, so that the height of each instance of the attached movie is always going to be different from each other. I need to figure out how to get the height from each instance of the attached movie and use those numbers for the verticle tiling so that they dont run into each other.
heres what I got so far. Its the "duke news" box. If you scroll down in the news box, you will see that the text starts running into each other.

is it possible to make the duration of a movieclip equal the duration of the preloader, i mean is it possible to make something like, the time the preloader needs to reach the 100% = the duration of the movieclip? i'm using AS 3.0 and flash CS4 just in case it helps here is my code for the loader:
Code:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;

I have a SplitViewNavigator with two split views. In one of the views I have a list and in another one I have questions. User must solve the question and when user click send button, he will see another question.
But when user click to send button in one view, how can i know this in the other view? I'm a newbie in Flash Builder and I'm searching for this for hours.
I'm attempting to load into an array data from an external .csv file. No problem here.
I load into a first array all of the data and split the data at the end of each line ("
").
Then, I place into a new array each line that was split.
The problem is that the last element in this new line comes with an invisible space such that when I do a trace they come out as follows:
AAAA
BBBB
CCCC
instead of
AAAA
BBBB
CCCC
This is a problem because I later on do a switch check for 'AAAA', 'BBBB' or 'CCCC' and I think it doesn't recognize any because of the space.
I have several Movie Clips in the Library which I need to be able to load and bring up on the screen randomly.The code below shows how I can load one of these, but to get a proper control ideally I would like to load them all in to an array or numbered variables so that they can be called from a simple piece of code and actioned one at a time.
My movieclips can all be called something simple like mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4 etc to make things easier.These need to be referenced in to an array mcContainer[.....] or as mcContainer1, mcContainer2........ so that they can be called easily.I just need to know the simplest way to do this and how i reference them, I have tried several ways like ["mc"+i] etc and nothing seems to work.
Code:
var mc:mcLogo=new mcLogo();
addChild(mc);
You know how & is used to separate variables in a .txt file if your loading variables, like &height=22&width=3353&....well what if you want to pass a string into flash like "We all went & drunk lots of beer"?

I'm having a strange problem setting variables in movie clips from another (parent timeline). I run the following code from the parent movie clip to target child movie clips it contains.
setVars = function (clip, value) {
clip.val1 = value;
clip.val2 = 0;
[Code].....
I am trying to set variables in a movie clip targetted by the 'clip' argument in the setVars function but they are being traced as undefined. However, setting the function works fine. I have also tried manually defining the variables in the movie clip and am still unable to change them externally from the setVars Function.

View 2 RepliesI have a string variable that looks something like this:
2012-03-07 135.06 135.91 134.93 135.69 143616800 135.69
2012-03-06 135.35 135.43 134.36 134.75 202129900 134.75
It continues like this, a list of reoccurring variables seperated by spaces, for a few more lines.How can I separate the string and push the different variables into their appropriate arrays. The end result should look like this:
dates = [2012-03-07, 2012-03-06]
variable1 = [135.06, 135.35]
variable2 = [135.91, 135.43]
I'm writing code that takes data from mysql that's processed by a PHP script. It's actually a bit bizarre, at least to me. Anyway, here's some basic AS3 code that's moving toward what I want to do:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var urlRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("receive.php");
urlRequest.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;[code]....
For some reason, the statement "trace(evt.target.data);" produces a whole pile of garbled text before the actual stuff that it's supposed to show Because of problem #1, I've had to include a throwaway variable at the beginning, otherwise the first variable I try to pass into AS3 comes back as undefined. This causes errors when I run my flash movie in the IDE, but when I run it from the browser it doesn't seem to have any effect.But this is the strangest thing of all whenever I make any changes to the database (and subsequently try to load data from different variables), the new variables come back as undefined. For example, let's say that I add another entry to the database, and decide to load students 2, 3, and 4 instead of 1, 2, and 3. When I do that, any new data I've added comes back as undefined, even though when I view the PHP output in my browser, it looks just fine.
And now for the REALLY bizarre part: I'll copy that output, paste it into my PHP script as an echo statement, comment everything else out, and my flash movie runs fine. Even though the output from the PHP script is exactly the same, it gives me errors.
I understand the Flash and AS3 is single-threaded, at least at the user level. I would like to understand how asynchronous data loading is handled by the Flash player.
For instance, if I run CPU-intensive code that runs beyond the normal frame (lets say it runs on ENTER_FRAME, and consumes 1/4 per call). Does this leave any CPU cycles to load data from a URLLoader?
If http loading is truly synchronous, right down to handling the TCP/IP stack, one would get horrible performance. In Windows programming, I can do http access asynchronously (in which case the Windows libraries are doing either input on a separate thread, or doing hardware-level interrupts to handle the data -- I provide an asynchronous callback that may be on its own thread). Or, I can do synchronous download, in which case there will be hardware buffering, but my application is actively waiting for each buffer of data to be delivered by the hardware/OS combination.
URLLoader is asynchronous, but what does that mean? Does it mean that I can run the CPU and still download data? Or, will my download speed slow to a crawl if my Flash application is under heavy CPU load? Understanding how this works will help me design my product better, which both uses a lot of CPU, and downloads a lot of data (to the bandwidth limit of the network, if possible).
I want to display some data in a separate browser window instead of using popupManager. How do i do that. Also i need to pass parameter to that window, based on that parameter, i ll call the service and get the required data and display that in the datagrid.
View 1 RepliesI feel like MVC misses a letter to describe the situation in a game. The model to me seems to consist of two distinct parts:
A group of vars that describe the current game state (these will have setters that send out events on change, and getters so that the view can access what changed)
The rules of the game that determine what happens once a certain input (i.e. shoot();) has been received by the controller (these will update the group of vars as deemed appropriate)
The view will exclusively be reading from 1 while the controller will be exclusively communicating with 2. This is why I make the distinction and want to divide them up into class1 and class2.
My questions:
I am unsure if I should be making this distinction, since I haven't seen it anywhere. If I should; should I make two separate classes, or should I extend class1 with class2? Finally, I am having trouble making sure that only class2 (and not the view) can change the variables in class1 (while still being able to send out an event when a value changes).

i am have big problems, im designing a login screen and it will require more than one user to be able to access differnt parts of the flash file. at the moment i am using IF statements.
[Code]...
there is no problem with this method but if a user wants to change there username how to change the script. the other thing is the flash file is being converted to a standalone .exe file so it's basically like a program. to get to the point I need to know if there is any way for the Actionscript to be able to read a .txt document so that when the username and password is changed in the .txt document flash will read it so when they enter the new username and password it will still allow them to access the files.

View 5 RepliesWhat I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?
If I create a new flash AS3 file and create two blank keyframes in my actions layer I can add actions to each keyframe separately no problem. I can then easily switch between the actions frames from the menu bar on the left of the actions input panel. However if I try and do this on any of my projects i've been working on for a while when I create a new blank keyframe in the actions layer and try to add actions to it, I get sent straight back to my first actions keyframe and not a nice blank page. Can I even apply seperate actions to seperate keyframes?
