I am using SharedObject.Send() for implementing remote desktop sharing feature using Wowza rtmp.I am able to implement it but as time of desktop sharing increases the delay increases at client side.Is there any way by which I can fast forward the process at client side or just keep on current copy of desktop screen and discard all the previous one

View 1 RepliesI'm on planning/modeling phase to develop a remote desktop sharing solution, which must be web browser based. In other words: an user will be able to see and interact with someone's remote desktop using his web-browser.Everything the user who wants to share his desktop will need, besides his browser, is installing an add-in, which he's going to be prompted about when necessary. The add-in is required since (afaik) no browser technology allows desktop control from an app running within the browser alone. The add-in installation process must be as simple and transparent as possible to the user (similar to AdobeConnectNow, in case anyone's acquainted with it).The user can share his desktop with lots of people at the same time, but concede desktop control to only one of them at a time(makes no sense being otherwise).
Project requirements:All technology employed must be open-source license compatible.Both front ends are going to be in flash (browser)Must work on Linux, Windows XP(and later) and MacOSX.Must work at least with IE7(and later) and Firefox3.0(and later).At the very least, once the sharer's stream hits the server from where it'll be broadcast, hereon it must be broadcasted in flv (so I'm thinking whether to do the encoding at the client's machine (the one sharing the desktop) or send it in some other format to the server and encode it there).Performance and scalability are important: It must be able to handle hundreds of dozens of users(one desktop sharer, the rest viewers)We'll definitely be using red5.My doubts concern mostly implementing the desktop publisher side (add-in and streamer):
1) Are you aware of other projects that I could look into for ideas? (I'm aware of bigbluebutton.org and code.URL...)
2) Should I base myself on VNC ?
3) Bearing in mind the need to have it working cross-platform, what language should I go with? (My team is very used with java and I have some knowledge of C/C++, but anything goes really).

I am customizing Google Maps for Flash.I have an external .AS file for my document class and one .AS file that extends the look of the Google Maps popup window.I am importing the locations of many apartment buildings from an XML file. The XML is being read in the main .AS file.There are textfields I need to populate in the popup.AS file but I don't know how to get that XML information from the document class .AS file into the popup.AS file. I wouldn't think I need to run an XML loading function in the popup.AS file right? how I can get variables from one .AS file to another?

flash video that incorporates buttons to share to sites like twitter or facebook? For example at the end of a video at youtube you are presented with a share button. At vimeo there are links on the right hand side of the video for like, share, embed, etc. Are these buttons (i.e. links) added during creation of the video or are they added by the site itself?
I am trying to build a small site that allows a user to upload videos and have a 'share to facebook' and 'share to twitter' button show up in the video when the video is done playing.
I have Flash project that is set up something like this:
myProject.fla
- document class = myMenu.as
- the document class imports a menu item from menuItem.as (import menuItem;)
I have a function in myMenu.as that sets the text formatting for all the text fields on the page. I want to be able to use this same function in menuItem.as so that all the formatting is consistent & you only have to change it in one place. How do I access this function from both myMenu.as & menuItem.as?
I have an issue with an apparent bug in Flash Pro CS5.5. I have recently upgraded to CS5.5 Master Collection from my previous version of 4.0. The bug is when I create a fonts FLA file with fonts embedded in it that I want to use throughout an entire site. I correctly configure those fonts as export for runtime sharing.
In any other FLAs in which I wish to use the shared fonts, I either (a) drag the assets from one library to the other, or (b) add them to the new fla and configure them as import for runtime sharing (both of which achieve the same result).

View 4 RepliesI'm developing a web app based on videos that my client would like to upload using an online resource such as YouTube or Vimeo. Since YouTube has a 15 mn restriction length on the videos one can upload, my client has decided to use Vimeo instead, but Moogaloop(!) the Vimeo AS3 API is fairly restrictive and only offers a handful of methods to control the video.
What would be your best AS3 API for an online video sharing site? By best , I mean one that allows as much control as possible over the site's player features. I need to be able to listen to events , control the fullscreen capability , enable/disable some specific features such as a "embed" or "share" button.
I have two MovieClip symbols in my library and I want them to share the same class, but Flash doesn't allow me to assign the same class to any two different MC symbols, so instead I created two bogus classes which extend the class I wished to share initially.
So having two MC symbols defined by 2 different classes extending a different class allows me to share the same piece of code.
My Question: is there a better was to share a class between 2 or more different library symbols?
Ive been asked to research the relationships between classes but having trouble understanding it.
Within my code, the class A creates an instance of class B inside it, storing the instantiated B in a variable in class A so that class A can access data members (attributes) and methods from class B.
How could I create a link in B so that it can also access information about class A?
[URL] but as the link is provided but no contacts available, I cannot check out this issue..basically, I went through the codes and able to understand but coming to this point, on the top right corner of the rect, the day number do not appear as it appears on the site..when I do trace, the text is there, but swf is not showing it.
View 0 RepliesLets say I have two swfs A and B, and at runtime, swf A loads swf B, and I wish to share code between them, to minimize file size and download times.If swf B has some code (say. com.blah.HelloWorld), I tell the compiler to have swf B's source in swf A's classpath, but only do a compile-time link and not actually compile com.blah.HelloWorld into swfThis works, and I have tried it, using a the -includes and -externs compiler options.However, My problem is that I wish to do this the other way. i.e. swf A and B (and potentially swf C) all need com.blah.HelloWorld, but I want com.blah.HelloWorld to be compiled into just swf A, have it as an external reference in swf B ( and potentially C as well.)I tried doing this using the externs and includes, but I get ReferenceErrors when I do this.
View 1 RepliesIn my library I have a few symbols (with diffrent graphics) that I want to share the same class (the same methods I written in as3).
First I tried to set the same name on the class line when converting to symbol but Flash then tells me that the name have to be unique. So I tried diffrent ways of inherit the class in each symbols custom class, but I didn't get that to work either..

Code:

Nothing happens. The movie is not attached.

Since I can access the library assets from external class, I have a question :
1. Is it possible to use any of library assets of one movie into another? Let's say in my movie A, I have McA1 movieclip in the library. Is it possible to access/display/addChild McA1 in movie B?
2. If there's a case that Movie B is loaded into Movie A - does all the library from Movie B will be inherited into movie A - vice versa - so it makes them accessible?
3. If the answer of 1, and 2, is no and no, is there any work around to make any library asset accessible accross the board? Is this what so called runtime sharing? Do you have any resource that I can refer to?
I have two classes, classA and classB
classA is created on the maintimeline

How do I create an eventListener for this event in classB?
I'm working on a project that uses a lot of "widgets" that are displayed in the main application. Many of these standalone swfs where the same code is incorporated several times ( for instance TweenLite ). I want to optimize this by removing this added code from each widget to reduce load time. I'm working on Flex Builder, but this is an actionscript/flash project. I'm not sure how I should do this
View 2 RepliesI have four instances of the same class called Tile, that is bound to a movieclip with four frames. They're imbedded in a movieclip that I'm using to hold all of the visuals.In the main class of my .fla I declare a variable called menu1 that is bound to another movieclip with 2 buttons on it.
I'm trying to make three things happen here: on clicking the Tiles the menu will pop up over the tile that was clicked; that on clicking another tile when the menu is already up it will close that one before adding a new one; and lastly, that on clicking the second button in the menu, it will change the frame of the tile clicked and close the menu.The tile.as has an addeventlistener in it's construction method to add the function onTileClick to each Tile.
public class Tile extends MovieClip{
public function Tile():void{
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTileClick);[code]....
This works fine for one tile. I can click on it, the menu pops up, I can close and reopen the menu as many times as I want, and I can use the other button with no problems.Also, clicking around on different tiles moves the menu around without repeatedly adding it, so that seems to be working fine as well.The problem is this: If I click on a tile, close the menu, then click on another tile and close it, I get an error 1009.It still closes, that error just comes up. And it will come up for any more tiles I open and close it on.Then, after clicking on however many tiles, if I do click the advance button, it affects all of the tiles, and I get an ArgumentError: Error #2025 for each tile clicked on.I tried adding a variable that held the event.target value in the onAdvance function, and using that for the gotoAndStop, but the same thing happened. When I tried tracing the name of the variable, I noticed that it was tracing the names of each tile clicked with each subsequent trace.
Am I building this all wrong?I thought that making a class for my tile object, and adding eventlisteners to the class, and adding the functionality of the tiles inside of the class would be good practice for Object Oriented Programming, but it seems to be producing nothing but errors. When I defined these tiles inside the main timeline, with separate event listeners, I didn't have this problem

View 1 RepliesI'm currently planning out the UI for a game with a complex UI system. I have done some runtime sharing tests using fonts that are setup for sharing in one fla, and I've setup the import in another. Both files are exported as swc files and are included in the flash develop project (the font is included completely). This worked fine.What I would like to do is have my UI loaded on-demand. I was planning to have a general UI elements library that contains elements setup for sharing (similar to the font), then have separate swfs that are loaded into the main swf when they are needed. These separate swfs would use elements from the shared library. I can get this to work exclusively in the IDE, or exclusively on the server, but not both (making development awkward).
The big stumbling block I'm hitting is to do with setting up the URL paths.I think that all of the runtime paths will be based on the running 'Main' swf location. So all import/export paths need to use paths that work from this root location.for example 'data/ui/top_ui.swf' might import objects from 'ui_elements.swf' (effectively 'data/ui/ui_elements.swf'). This import will function fine when testing from the IDE, but when running on the server, this will fail as it will try to load 'ui_elements.swf' from the root folder. Worse still, it will not fire an error (as it has found 'top_ui.swf' fine) but the load will never complete as it cannot find the runtime swf.
The reason for this folder structure is that we would really prefer to keep our assets in a folder that could in theory be re-located to another server (should the bandwidth usage dictate it). To put these ui swfs in their own folder then causes all the linkage to break in the Flash IDE making editing a kludge. Fix it in the IDE and it will no longer function on load.At the moment it looks like we will just have to export swc files and embed the lot in the main swf to keep this easy for code and art.
