View 1 Repliesim trying to make icons for wlm (windows live messenger) in flash with 2 frames and the quality come out crummy when im saving the animated gif this is the original icon which is good quality:[URL]..
and this is what came out to me when i tried to make the animated gif while i did it strict saved it first as bmp so it will not lose quality[URL].. and finally saved it as animated gif and picked 256 colors which is max for gif how is that come? i asked someone and he told me that in flash the animation comes out very ugly and i should use software called "GIF Construction Set Pro" or something like this is that right? there is no other way to increase the quality or something in flash?
i have a website like ustream, where user can register and create live channels and publish live video using FMLE.
Now i want to check wether a particular channel is online or offline. I have stream name for particular channel. My website is coded in PHP. I have tried using getLiveStreamStats function, it works fine where the XML file is not heavy. I mean number of subscribers are less. Then i can just check the Publisher Tag. if it exists that means stream video is live, else not.
But problem arrives when the number of subscribers are high. The XML file do not loads in PHP, and it takes too much time to load the page.
what can be done to just check if the xml file has publisher tag. and display if the stream is live or not
I want to retrieve the list of live stream name.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to write my own messenger with the use of Flash, but as I've up to now only created either simple games or static website elements, my knowledge in the topic is rather poor.So, to the point - I understand that I need 3 key elements to have all of this working - a client software that I intend to write in Flash CS3, some database to hold the necessary information, and something acting as a server to mediate between the two.I have up to now browsed through the internet and looked for possible solutions to the concept, I've also asked on other forums, but with no major luck up to now.All my hope is in kirupa now (which I visit from time to time since Flash MX appeared on the surface of our planet ).The problem is that I have no idea what would be best for the middle tier in this messenger concept. I've come across tons of possible applications that I perhaps could use, but am not sure as all of this is totally new for me, yet I would like to start off with getting quickly stuck because what I wanted to do first was just impossible.
For communication between Flash written apps and some server side apps I see that there are XMLSockets (yet this seems to be a very old approach and I'm guessing there is something better these days) and that there is Flash Remoting ( also around for a couple of years, but I see that there is AMFPHP which perhaps is what I need - again, perhaps, as I won't be sure till somebody confirms that or I check myself ).Then there's a bunch of things Adobe offers - Coldfusion 8 (free Developer Edition), Flash Media Server 3 (free and with a limit of up to 10 connections, but that's ok in my case).Then there's Flex SDK and Adobe AIR, which I'm not even sure if can in anyway help me out, as I've just read a bit on what those are actually and I also found Red5.Well, to sum up, all this has made me more confused than actually helped. I'm not quite sure now where to start with - tho it seems logical to first set up a server and then start to write the client and test some simple communication routines ... and the problem with browsing new technologies is that in this case I really need to know their limitations, so to not end up being stuck after say 3 months, but we all know limitations are only known to the experienced.If anybody can clear up the world of flash related technologies that I've just mentioned, or even suggest what would be the best course of action here - I'd be really very grateful. All of this is purely educational of course, hence why I'm looking for free technologies.
I have Flash CS4, which works perfect. Then I installed the newest version of Messenger, and then I couldn't start Flash because It freezes before I can do anything. Only way was to open it through a .fla-file. Then I uninstalled Messenger and now everything works again.

View 9 RepliesI am connecting to a Java game server via an XMLSocket and serving the crossdomain.xml policy file via loadPolicyFile(). The problem is, the thing either works, or it doesn't Is there any way I can get any status information back from loadPolicyFile() ?file didn't load, file is invalid, anything. Is there a way to attach an onLoad handler to this? The documentation claims that this thing will wait for a response before it attempts any connections.

View 1 RepliesThe goal is using JS from FLASH to communicate with the status bar, so when flash nav buttons(mc) are active they send a text description to the status bar, like the title attribute in an anchor link. How would this be done?
View 7 RepliesI'm somewhat ashamed I don't know the solution to this problem of mine. This is easy stuff. Anyways can anyone tell me the best way to retrieve the property of the current frame of an MC in a flash movie which may be stopped at frame 10, frame 20, etc? As in, if mc1 is stopped at frame 20, then gotoAndPlay frame 21 of mc1 once buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are pressed
ActionScript that retrieves the property of a frame in an MC's timeline which the MC is stopped at, that's all. I'd be reading more about a solution online and in my books but I'm pretty pressed on time right now. All I can think of is using true/false statements as a substitute for this missing, maybe nonexistent code for "get frame property" (if frame stopped at 20 big= true.... if true then play frame 21 once these buttons are pressed.. but not if big = false )
I somehow haven't dabbled much with if/else, true/false statements.
I can create buttons using flash. and i have change buttons colors when the mouse over status of the button. but the problem is i cant set the status of the button.as a example in above site if the user click the FAN Club button button will change in to a different color ( ash rectangle).

View 3 RepliesI just wanted to know if anyone knows how i can determine when an externally loaded SWF has finished Playing.... The swf i am loading cannot be edited so i cannot add any flags etc into it.... i load the swf into a new movie my_MC.loadMovie("OENAV3.swf"); and then i want to be able to see when that swf has finished
playing....ie) all the way to the end of the swf....not just finished loading....
ive been building a site for about a month now and slowly piecing it together- so far ive managed to get all my various different levels loading and unloading the way i want them to, but now id like a little status bar to load on screen as my multiple levels are loaded in the background.The way ive been accomplishing this without the load bar is like so:on first frame of main movie loadMovieNum("dl_web.swf", 3);load MovieNum("dl_ illustration.swf", 4);loadMovieNum("dl_retouching.swf", 5);(the first frame of each of those movies has a stop function on it)And i have buttons on the main movie that make each of those levels visible and play.NOW, ive just created a movie clip ive named "bar" which is a thin rectangle, and i would like to have that movie clip load lengthways as my multiple levels are loaded in the background. So, my question is how do i accomplish this? I've looked all over and it seems like all the good preload tutorials are loading into movieclips whereas i am loading into levels.Right now my site is technically working, but there will be pauses for people with slower internet connections and i need my bar graphic to pop up so they dont think they are dealing with a broken site....

View 1 RepliesWhat is the correct syntax to calculate an XML object's loading status and relay the value to a movieclip? I'm using the following, but nothing's happening. The math is being loaded but the movieClip doesn't change size.

function barProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var loaded:Number=event.target.bytesLoaded/event.target.bytesTotal;
barPro.scaleX=loaded;

My barPro movieclip remains the same size.rong?

I have a bunch of potential random strings for recvStream.play("randomstring");then i have a timer checking every 5 seconds on a function that runs an event listener:
recvStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,
netConnectionHandler);
then im thinking in a switch statement i can use it to check if it's an active stream or not to either have it search for another stream that should be active or stop the timer and let it play.
// i was thinking this would verify it's playing and then that's it
case "NetStream.Play.Start" :
trace("ITS PLAYING YOU SHOULD SEE SOMETHING");[code].....
//I also tried NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound instead of NetStream.Buffer.Empty didn't work either.But it really doesn't work like that. Is there something else I should be using instead of NetStream.Buffer.Empty ? Or something else all together? I'm using Actionscript 3 in Flash CS5 and I'm using Cirrus RTMFP
