I am a pretty big newb- my challenge is get a flash page to look to a database and check for updates constantly (in the realm of 1update/second) then pull new data as it is added.
View 1 RepliesI have created real-time data loading flash file. I'm loading realtime data in dynamic text filed using variable. From JavaScript, I'm pushing the data into those dynamic text fields with 10 seconds interval.
Now I want to animate the dynamic text fields when the new data load into the text filed.
I am developing a non-real time browser RPG game (think Kingdom of Loathing) which would be played from within a Flash app. At first I just wanted to make the communication with server using simply URLLoader to tell PHP what I am doing, and using $_SESSION to store data needed in-between request. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to base it on a socket connection, an app residing on a server written in Java or Python.
The problem is I have never ever written such an app so I have no idea how much I'd have to "shift" my thoughts from simple responding do request (like PHP) to continuously working application. I won't hide I am also concerned about the memory and CPU usage of such Server app, when for example there would be hundreds of users connected. I've done some research. So, considering the fact I don't need real time data exchange, will it be wise to develop the server side part as socket server, not in plain ol' PHP?
I have a list of items in a database as well as images in a directory folder. I am looking for a flash app that can pull from the database to display the info and also the images and scroll this info vertically with associated links. I need to change this for each client by adding their unique "ID" in the code so their information pulls in correctly.

View 1 RepliesThe component itself receives all its parameters from a .txt file. The editor is a read/save form that initially loads the parameters into it's form fields, and then overwrites the .txt file when the user hits submit. You then refresh the component on whatever website you have it to see the changes.Here's the php code that I found to get me going:
<?php //Capture data from $_POST array $title = $_POST['Title']; $comments = $_POST['Comments']; $image = $_POST['Image'] //Make one big string in a format Flash understand $toSave = "Title=".$title."&Comments=".$comments."&Image=".$image;

I want to design a component for retrieving real time data. A service schedule that displays a variety things:
Customer I.D.
Schedule time for service
Service type
Whether that service is delayed or on -time
Service completed
This would be displayed on the website.

now i've got all the records of value $card (lets say 8 for this instance) pulled into this php page, how would i go about loading them into flash with loadVars()? for the record names, i used this line to originally insert them:
PHP Code:
$result = mysql_query("INSERT into ecard (fname, femail, tname, temail, message) values ('$fromName', '$fromEmail', '$toName', '$toEmail', '$message')");
Got a client that says that Flash ( a panel that is pulling information from a database and simply displaying it in text field.) is not working in IE7. I told them that this is impossible as Flash is completely crossbrowser compatible. Am I missing something?? Is it a possibility?
View 2 RepliesWe're currently building a fairly big dynamic website, and I was wondering if there was a way to have an animation that updates and move in real time as there's action on the site. Ex. red bulbs light up each time a user posts something on the forum or whatever. It'd be all related to the mysql database.
View 1 RepliesI'm looking to create something within Flash that I've not yet seen done.It will be a shared, real-time interactive session. What I want to know is, is it possible to create an individual, private session within Flash that is synchronized between two or more computers? I am doing this for the medical profession, but I can also see this would have benefits in the gaming community as well. I'm trying to create something that two specific users can interactively share in real time.
For example,a coloring book.Two players,or as many as you want, log in together and share a private coloring session. They will be able to interactively see anything that the other person is coloring in real time.The other people would also be able to color and let everyone else see their work.
I want to do a flash that changes based on the time of day. For example to load right .swf on container MC at the right time of the day.

View 1 RepliesFlash can use the RTMP protocol to exchange data between a server and a client. How do you typically access this functionality in AS2 or AS3/Flex? For example to use sockets you use the XMLSocket (AS2) or Socket (AS3) classes. Does the server-side RTMP software use Sockets under the covers? or is it HTTP with tunneling?
The Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was designed for high-performance transmission of audio, video, and data between Adobe Flash and a server. RTMP is now available as an open specification to create products and technology that enable delivery of video, audio, and data in the open AMF, SWF, FLV, and F4V formats compatible with Adobe Flash Player.
One thing that's really frustrating me about Flash is that the info panel doesn't display real-time width or height values.So if I'm drawing a rectangle, I can't just draw it out as do in Photoshop to say 400 X 200. I'll need to set this manually after I draw a small box.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a game where I have some red balls on the screen and some blue balls on the screen and I would like to draw a polygon around all balls of the same color and have this polygon automatically fill as soon as the polygon shape is closed. How to achieve this as I haven't really done much with the drawing API before. My current code will allow me to draw a polygon and for it to fill when I release the mouse but what I would like it to do is automatically fill as soon as the shape is closed.

I'm trying to playback some sample data through the new real-time audio capabilities of Flash Player 10. I started with the example given at the bottom of this page on livedocs, which seems to work fine and plays a crystal clear tone.I assume that the two writeFloat's in the example write to the left and right audio channels respectively and that the data being written is 32 bit (because of the float).
However. I seem to be having trouble converting my old 8 bit audio data to a format that is understood by this interface. When I playback my sample data I can vaguely hear the sound I'm expecting but it is massively distorted. My sample data consists of raw 8 bit samples that ranges from 0..255 where 127 is silence.
I've been trying different conversion formulas but I seem to be missing some vital information regarding this conversion.
UPDATE:The correct formula turns out to be:
f = (sample.data.readByte() - 127) / 255
Here is my problem: We are broadcasting sportevents live to the internet via flash media encoder.At the event locations we mostly have just 2 mbit upstream. So at the moment we are streaming with about 1mbit rate.But we need also streams for mobile-devices and a stream for users without fast internet. So we want 2 more streams with lower-bitrates,but we can't get this through the 2mbit...I am looking for a solutiuon which can transcode about a 1mbit(and may be in the future a 1.5mbit) livestream in to two (or more)lower-bitrate streams.The solution should be scalable,because sometimes we have 7 events at one day on different locations,so there could be 7 input-streams.I've searched the net for hardware transcoders, but didn't find a stable solution and I've tested also transcoding with ffmpeg, but it seems to get problems with timing and key-frames for bitrate switching.
View 3 RepliesI'm working in an educational software, mostly developed using Flash AS3, and we have a chronometer which shows different values through different users. Example: Two users starting the chronometer at same time, but along some minutes of usage, they have different values.
The current implementation uses Timer class, causing this to happen, obviously due the different average speed of each computer.
I am looking for a watch expression debugger for Flash AS3 (not flex). I have found this: demonsterdebugger but the refresh is not in real time (like the trace does), it has a lag of 3 seconds. It is important because i am developing a flash box2d game so I need the coordinates while playing.I've tried also KapInspect with the Digiex pluging, but it gets down the framerate and it is embebbed. So it is not good for me. Can you please tell me one good debugger? I am using Flash Builder 4 (it has not whach expression inspector)
View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to code a system to handle real-time refraction and reflection of light in 2 dimensions (on an x, y Cartesian plane, basically) and I'm hitting my head against the wall even figuring out where to start on this. My concept for how this should behave goes like this: There is an object that shoots a ray of light (a laser beam or something) toward a target object. When the ray intersects with the surface of the target, somehow I need to find the normal vector to the surface of the shape at the point of intersection and apply some equations from first year physics to alter the path of the ray appropriately. The same refraction effect takes place as the ray exits the object. At the moment, I'm grasping for straws. I'm not even sure what kinds of objects exist in Flash's libraries that will work for me with this. The existing libraries for shapes won't let me create lenses like I want to, and I'm not sure what I'll need to make for an adequate "light" projectile or line to take on this behaviour.

View 1 RepliesI'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to pull data from a column in a SharePoint 2007 list to be able to dyamically generate a reaction in a flash object.Our designer created a dashboard of thermometers for our projects that use two variables, % complete and status (green, yellow, red, blue).
As the end user, I want to be able to update my project in my SharePoint list and have it so that my updates automatically populate that flash based dashboard.Right now, he's using an XML document that is stored in a folder on our SharePoint site and then simply updating the XML file when there are changes.It would be ideal to pull this data from the list rather than having to update and then upload the xml document to the SharePoint site.
