View 9 Repliesi have an .fla, which loads goes to different frames in the timeline according to the download speed of the user. i understand how it should work... start timer > upload file > stop timer > calculate download speed - easy?
so what is this simple code im missing to find the download speed? from my fruitless searching, the only relevant code i could find, is this:
Code:
var time1 = getTimer();
targetClip.loadMovie("example.swf");
targetClip.onLoad = function()
[Code]....
... but i have test this, which gives an undefined property error grrr.... so what is the actionscript 3, to find the value of the download speed?
I am wanting this to improve the initial download speed of the page. I have already added a Poster Frame to video's, however it still seems to be loading the video file and just autoplaying. Is there a way to NOT load the video file until the person hits play? This is the AS3 script I used...
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
myPoster.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function showPosterFrame(event:Event):void { myPoster.visible = true;}
function hidePosterFrame(event:Event):void { myPoster.visible = false;}
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void { myVideo.play();}
[code]....
We have a custom flash video player. It uses streaming over a hosted FMS $50/month account.Some users are complaining that the video doesn't play at all.ith one of these users, we had them go to a speed test website and it was determined that they had a very slow connection which we are assuming is what is causing them to not be able view the video.So before we try to load the video we want to determine their connection speed. Then if they have a good enough connection we will play the video and if not then we will do something else like play a lower quality video or simply display a message and not play a video at all.
View 3 Repliesthis is an attempt at a visual graph to show the download speed of swf. Its only as large as it is because i threw in heaps of images to bulk it up for testing purposes. Though it looked kinda neat The only problem its causeing at the moment is it eventually slows down no matter what, cacheToBitmap dosent seem to make a difference. Its not array based either, i discoverd very quickly how large arrays devour all life.
View 4 RepliesI am attempting to load a gif that is over 3700 pixels and flash will not load this file. If i change it to a jpg, it does however. My application loads 100s of gifs with the exact same code with no problem and the only difference I can see is that this one's height. Anyone know if Flash has height limit for loading external gifs?
View 3 RepliesI have an external swf I am loading. It is a text scroller, and part of the way it works is that it moves the text up or down off the top or bottom of the stage when it scrolls.Unfortunately when I load it in a master swf, the guts of the thing are showing through, spilling outside of the intended boundaries of the included swf. (i.e. outside the included swf's stage height).

View 1 RepliesI've had a Flash website up and running for about a year which includes an external text file linked to a dynamic text field.
Everything worked well until I recently added content to the external text file.
Suddenly, the file won't load in flash.
If I play around and cut a line here or there, it sometimes loads. Sometimes not. Sometimes it looks like there might be a character limit. Sometimes it looks like flash might be having a problem with certain characters.
So my questions are:
1.) Does Flash have a limit on the amount of characters that can be displayed in a dynamic field.
2.) If so, can this be changed with as3?
Is there a way to keep or maintain an external loaded mc's frame rate?Let supose that the external mc's frame rate is 12.The main mc's frame rate is 40. IT is possible to keep the ext. mc's frame rate 12 , because when i give the load movie commnad it automatically changing to 40 , just like the main mc's.

View 1 RepliesI want to add an animated .gif file to my movie. So I created a new symbol and then imported the .gif file to the stage. This created the symbol containing the animated .gif.I dragged the symbol onto the scene where I want it. However, the animation seems to play at a different speed (fps) than normal. So I changed the fps of the symbol (at bottom of Timeline where it says "fps"). But for some reason this changes the fps of the rest of the entire movie.

View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip on my scene which has a speed applied to it making it move across the screen. This is duplicated when it reaches the other end of the screen.On my scene I have some action script which is acting as a timer. After a set time I want it to increase the speed of the movie clips, making the game become "harder". I seem to be able to manipulate the alpha of my movie clips but can't seem to trigger the speed increase.If i use a setInterval it seems to trigger the speed increase but it does it each time the movie clip is duplicated (so the delay resets, it does not change once and apply throughout)However, where I am changing the alpha I cannot seem to change the speed.

View 1 RepliesSo I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.
I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.
However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.
Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.

View 3 RepliesI generate a HTML page with VB.Net which stores several pinks to files. These links are formatted with JavaScript looking like the Windows-Explorer with folders and files. The problem: There are only download links for the files, not for Folders. A folder can contain Subfolders ,a List of Files or a combination of both. So if I want to download a folder, I have to click manually on every file-link. I have not the possibility to insert PHP or another Server-side language. my question now is: Is there a client side way to Download them by click on a Folder? I prefer Javascript but If it isn't possible Flash will be ok also.

Problem is its opening the file rather than giving a download this file option.
I want to download files from the server side to client side without prompting a window to the user to download when any updates happen at server side.Right now I am using urlstream class but first file is downloading completely rest of the files contents downloading partially.

I have an 11 minute video (.MOV) that I want to convert to an FLV. The file is about 29GB. I first tried to convert it using the CS3 Video Encoder but only the first 5:00 were converted. I tried this a few times with different settings but got the same results. Then I switched to Cleaner but again, only about 5:00 was converted. The length is not exactly the same but close enough for me to think that there might be a 5:00 limit to how long an FLV can be. Or is there a limit to the size of MOV the encoding process will handle?

I have a function ( basically its the click on a reset buttons ) that sets back quite a loooooot of variables and text boxes. But after ( I think 200 lines ) , actionscript simply stops with that particular function and doesnt even give me an error.So it looks like there is a lines per function limit or something like that.I also tried it with an external .as but its the same.Creating functions for all these commands didnt work either.The only thing I can do is move a few lines up so that they get processed earlier.... ( but the last few still don't work )I even tried to make a function with 300 lines of myTextField.text = "hello"and a line: myTextField.text = "how are you" at the endDidnt work... it stayed at hello.
