Is it possible to Cast the DisplayObject into MediaElement.Am trying to add the DisplayObject into the MediaContainer, but I got the following error:
-1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:Loader to an unrelated type org.osmf.media:MediaElement.
-mediaContainer
_loader is the variable of DisplayObject.
mediaContainer.addMediaElement(_loader);
I am using Flash Builder4.
I am trying to take a displayobject of a dynamic text which is retrieved with getChildByName and cast it so I can access the .text property of the object.
View 5 RepliesI tried this:
(DisplayObject(slider)).parent.addEventListener(CustomEvent.CUSTOM_EVENT_TYPE, onCustomEventType);
but flash doesn't like
For whole context see Why Flash doesn't recognize this parent property ? How to get the parent which instantiated an object ?
I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

I am attempting to retrieve metadata from a URLResource. The URLResource is not controlled by me, but passed into a function that I am using. The URLResource is created like this:
var resource:URLResource = new URLResource("[URL]");
// Add Metadata for the URLResource
var VideoParams:Object = {
Name:"Logo Video",
Owner:"Self",
[Code] .....
Now the URLResource contains the metadata. I will receive a MediaElement resource. How do I extract the metadata back? Here's what the debugger shows (media is a MediaElement object containing the URLResource w/ metadata) :
fdb>print media.resource.
$1 = [Object 246396705, class='org.osmf.media::URLResource']
_mediaType = null
_metadata = [Object 416970209, class='flash.utils::Dictionary']
[Code] .....
I've attempted extracting the metadata object with:
media.resource.getMetadata("VideoParams");
And a host of other attempts, but can't figure out how to get at that darned metadata.
I am making a web app that uses MediaElement.js (ME.js) for playing audio and displaying video across different browsers. However, I am having trouble with IE8: When I instantiate the MediaElement with an <audio>element from the DOM, the flash object gets created and inserted in DOM but then the media does not get loaded. No errors are reported. Instead nothing happens.
Trying to debug it, I have created a small test page which also uses ME.js that tries to play the same audio file. Strangely, this page works fine. IE8 loads and plays the file. I have tried to look at what both of these pages output in the DOM to see if I could get a hint about what is going wrong.
[Code]....
Notice there's a difference: In the first snippet it says <PARAM NAME="Play" VALUE="-1">and in the second it says <PARAM NAME="Play" VALUE="0">. This seems significant somehow, but I have no idea how to interpret it. not that this is not the markup generate by ME.js but something that somehow gets generated when the .swf file has loaded. Not being any kind of a flash expert, I can't really explain how.
When I use Fiddler to monitor which assets get loaded, the difference between the two pages are that the first page loads the .swf file as the last thing and the second loads the .swf file and then loads the .mp3.
I should mention that the web app works in Chrome when I force it to use the flash plugin instead of native HTML elements.
If I just call MediaElement and not MediaElementPlayer, can I still skin both the HTML and Flash players using only CSS? Or do I have to modify the actual FLA?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to add mediaelement.js to my site to present a single player for any MP3 link on a particular page. The design is working fine for IE 9 and Chrome 11 (which have HTML5 MP3 support), but it has an issue with the flash fallback on Opera 11 and FireFox 4. Clicking any MP3 link on the page uses the .setSrc() method of media element player to change the source of the player, but in Opera and FF, the first time this method is called, it returns error "this.media.setSrc is not a function". Any call to the function after that works fine.
Another issue is after the element containing the player is hidden "display:none" and then displayed again, calling the .pause() function will produce error "this.pluginApi.pauseMedia is not a function". After that error is thrown, subsequent calls work fine until the element is hidden and displayed again.

I have set the features to be empty which works fine except in the flash player. It still shows the big play button.I realise I can manually hide this but I'd rather find the proper solution
$('video').mediaelementplayer({
features: [],
success: function (me) { [code]..........
I have a video player on my site that once paused I would like to prevent rest of the video being downloaded. I am using MediaElement.js for html5 video with flash fallback. It is annoying that I am unable to stop the video from downloading as it is a waste of bandwidth and the "progress" event continues to fire and update the UI.
View 1 RepliesI want to have a loader function that passes the loaded data to the correct function. So I can do this:[code]Is there any way to type the second variable to avoid the clumsy switch routine, like so:Function (sendTo) ();
View 2 RepliesI have the code the following code:
in root frame I:
var prevSec:*;
var currentSec:*;
var lastPage:String = "Default/Index";
[Code]....
And it's not working ("canno't create property visible on String"). I understand that if finds the variable to be of String type.
What i need to do is based on the switch to set a certain movieclip to go visible false or true on frame 16. I need to know how to cast the String into MovieClip.
Does anyone know how to cast a string into a uint?[code]...
But i keep getting an error stating that there is a mismatch in variable types or i get a value of '65280' when I trace myUint.I understand that uint is a positive integer but i need to accept a string for the colour value and need to convert it to a string for use.
i have a list of items that get returned from a database. the list is composed of strings. what i need to do is convert each item into a variable so that i can use each item as an array.
for instance, my array will look something like this: deviceArray = ["osx106", "osx107", "winxp", "win7"];
what i want to do is turn each item into its own array. in AS2 (iirc) we had an eval() method. that is no longer supported in AS3.
I need ActionScript Proxy to be castable to a particular interface.
Here is an example without interface:
public dynamic class Tracer extends Proxy {
flash_proxy override function callProperty(method:*, ... args):* {
trace(method + " " + args)
}
}

I have 5 different arrays for a bunch of excercises, like so:
const oef1:Array = ["citroen","schoen","boek"];
const oef2:Array = ["huis","muis","jas"];
const oef3:Array = ["boek","koek","sok"];
const oef4:Array = ["ei","bij","bot"];
const oef5:Array = ["vier","mier","muur"];
Now I want to set the current game. I do this by copying the array, like so:
var curArr:Array;
var curExc:int = 1;
curArr = ("oef" + curExc) as Array;
I can't convince flash to accept the string ("oef"+curExc) as an Array. How do I do this?
I have searched Stack Overflow extensively but I think I simply don't know the correct lingo for what I'm looking for. It's the only possible reason I can think of why I can't find the answer here because I'm sure someone must have already tried this.
I have a variable in flash:[code]I then have a multidimensional array which has this variable name in it, but as a string.[code]What I need to do is be able to reference the string item in the array, but then cast it so that when I add a number to it the ACTUAL variable with the same name will be altered - anyone know how I can do this?For reasons I won't go into I can't pass it straight into the variable, it has to go through the multidimensional array item.

And later in the code i want to get the x position of the sprite in the array-
Code: Select allTweener.addTween(bildArray[i], {x:(bildArray[i].x +50), time:3, transition:"linear"});
dose not worke so i need to cast it to Sprite?so i do
Code: Select allvar v:Sprite = bildArray[i] as Sprite;

But it dose not work, what do i do wrong?
I have successfully imported a Lightwave generated Collada file into Flash using Papervision3dA material within the Lightwave file is called "Lambert4SG". How can I assign the "precise" property to eliminate the texture distortion. However, the material needs to be cast to BitmapMaterial in order set a BitmapMaterial specific property.

View 4 RepliesIn my app i am pushing data into an array collection. When I debug or trace the AC i get [object Object].

When I debug, i can see that the items are in the AC, but as generic objects.
Can someone explain me why when I listen for a custom event and then redispath it it is redispatched as an Event instead of an object of custom event type ?
Exemple : You make un custom event, name it CustomEvent.
In a first class you dispatch an instance of this event and it is managed by a method in a second class, let's say this one :
[Code]...
I missed probably something in event dispatching process but I don't know what. However I found a solution : In the first event manager, dispatch a copy of the custom event received instead of dispatching the object itself. It works in this case.
Here's the example:
var cartesian:CartesianChart = new CartesianChart();
cartesian.width = 100;
var column:ColumnChart = new ColumnChart();
column = cartesian as ColumnChart;
Why does this not work? "column" ends up null. ColumnChart is a derived class of CartesianChart, so I would have thought I'd end up with a ColumnChart with a width of 100.
Is it possible to cast a variable as a type dynamically, where the type would be a variable of type Class? Consider the following (invalid):
var myClass:Class = MyClass;
var myInstance:myClass = new myClass();
For context: I'm working in Flex (4) to create a modal manager that will control various aspects of creating modals (via PopUpManager) and I'd like to keep it as minimal as possible. Components would be passed through the same functions, and rather than allowing any type of variable to be cast, eg:
