I'm learning on how to make que loader system. I'm loading in 30 images at once when the swf loads onto stage that contains moderate tween animations. I was wondering would I get better performance if I only allowed to load 5 images at once then next set 5 ect ect. rather than to load 30 images at once? I can't tell because my computer is very good so I can't hardly tell. Is this common practice?
View 2 RepliesHow is it possible to determine in advance the max number of simultaneous connection for my FMS?
View 2 RepliesI am involved in project managment for a large video conferncing project involving over 100k simultanous connection and most likely to be increased 4 times by next six months.While figuring out the scalability area ,it was concluded that smart selection of hardware and origin-edge clustering will be suited most. Well while studying this documentation says it supports thousands of calls but unfortunately I could not determine the actual numbers. Can you tell me how many edge server will be needed for 100k simultanous calls/number of sessions per edge server and will we need license (4500$) for each edge server?
View 2 RepliesI have been running FMIS 3.5 for about 18 months, and recently it started acting up even though I have not made any changes. After a while (sometimes days, sometimes hours), it starts rejecting new connections, but it allows existing connections to keep working. If I refresh my app, then I can't reconnect. The license I have is unlimited. Can anyone shed some light into why this is doing this and what I can do to fix it? Sometimes it happens when only a couple dozen people are online, and today it did it about 4 times with over 1500 people online.

I have several two-sided ecards made with Papervision and TweenLite to flip them over.A couple of days ago the "flip" animation changed behaviour. This is in ecards I made several months ago. The ecards work OK but the PPV object is not positioned correctly.On the server, in IE the object is displaced to right and down by about 20 px. In FF it is displaced to up and left by about 10 px.In Chrome and Safari the display is OK.(Just to confuse you further, the display in FF is OK on my localhost).This effect seems to be local to my PC.

I'm an intermediate flash user and I've made a file for my kids in class that has some sound on-off buttons. they are set to play once or loop depending on length by simple mouse click. they will play simultaneously if more than one is clicked individually on the page. I'm trying to make the page so the kids can just select the sound button icon, drag as many of them as they want (usually 2 -4 sounds at a time) into a box at the bottom of the page where they will then just play and loop. if they are dragged out of the box, that sound will stop. if another is dragged into the box it's sound will then join the ones that are already looping.

Everytime Photoshop CS4 is open it will cause Flash Cs4 to Crash. I can work in Flash without any issues until Photoshop is opened. Flash will usually crash in under 5 min with Photoshop open. I have tested this over and over and it is Photoshop causing Flash to crash. Does not matter whether I am running the 32 or 64 bit version of Photoshop. I am starting to believe it is a memory issue but I am not sure or how to fix if it is.I have tested the memory and it passed all tests. This is really killing my production time.

I am familiar with taking in keyboard input in AS3. I was wondering if there was a way to capture and process simultaneous key presses.I don't mean when a user holds down, say, the up and left arrows at the same time and an object moves diagonally. I mean when they actually press down on the keys simultaneously, like in a video game where 2 simultaneous button presses performs a new action.Currently, I have a class that reads whenever a user presses a key and assigns it to an instance variable. Then, each frame, the class pushes the key into a storage array if the current key pressed doesn't match the last key pressed. Each key is stored for 60 frames before being dumped if it isn't processed.
View 3 Repliesim having troubles unloading a swf file that is 2 levels above my main movie. Basically I have a main movie and I have actionscript on the timeline which corresponds to a button which loads a swf (eg my web portfolio work):
digitalbut.onRelease = function() {disableBtns();_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);loadMovie("Digital/Digital_2.swf","container");container._x = -22 ;container._y = 40 ;
This all works....Then in this swf I have another button which again loads another swf on top to show a particular piece of work and the code on the timeline to correspond to the button is:

This works also....but I come into problems when I want to create a button in this third swf file which then closes this Dior.swf so you are left with the bottom two still showing.

I am using mcl ( moviecliploader ) class to download images for a photo book;
when a user mouseover's a thumbnail, the corresponding fullsize img is downloaded;
PROBLEM: 1 - a user can move their mouse quickly over many thumbs;
2 - mcl class doesn't seem to have a way to stop downloading
3 - therefore it is realistic that the mcl could be forced to download 10-15 images simultaneously
4 - possibly the thumb that the user actually wants is last in the que;

I would like to have a photogallery which instead of one picture at a time will display three pictures. take a look at the attached image to get a better idea about what I need.
I created an input text box, and depending on what the user enters, it will create a file with that same name. However, for some reason, it's deleting the last character of the filename when it creates the file. For example, if you type "House" in the input text box, then the file that it will create will say "Hous.txt"What is causing this and how can it be fixed?
View 7 RepliesI am making a banner that has multiple movie clips sharing the same area, creating different rainbow effects when different areas (invisible buttons) are moused over.
First of all I couldn't figure out if there was a way to have one invisible button over the whole area that changed to a different colored effect with each mouse over (first mouse over the black and whites would change to reds, second would change it to blues, third would change it to browns, etc.). Since I couldn't figure this out I settled on creating three buttons covering a third of the banner each, so when the mouse passes over one button it changes to reds, over another button it changes to blues, over the third it changes to browns.
The effects are movie clips where each frame has another stripe changing color so it goes in a wave effect from one to the next, and then goes back to white and black in the same manner. The first frame of each movie clip I had to turn into a nested movie clip so I could turn the alpha to 0, since I was going to have these color effect movie clips on top of one another in the main timeline on different layers, and so you could see the effect even if that color layer wasn't on top. I used the same nested movie clip with zero alpha for the first frame of each color effect clip (reds movie clip, blues movie clip, etc), so I dont' know if that's an issue.
Anyway, it seemed to work fine for a while, but after working on it for a while longer (and not getting any further since I removed most of the changes I made), now when I test the movie the mouse over does not seem to work correctly. It works fine, seemingly, for the first time I mouse over each button, but in order to have it work again I have to mouse over the button twice, and then it will pause randomly during a part of the clip and I have to move my mouse back over for the movie clip to continue.
I can't tell if this is because of the overlapping movie clips, or because my buttons are messed up, or if my actionscript is messed up, or if the timeline has to be longer, or what. Currently the timeline is 55 frames, the same as each movie clip.
I put a movieclip_instance.stop(); command in the first frame of the main timeline, is there a better way to do this? Should I put the stop command in the movie clip itself?
Here is a section of my AS in the main timeline, this is my first time programming ever, in any language, and trying to learn from the internet is more difficult than I thought it would be.
redmovie.stop();
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playRed);
function playRed(event:MouseEvent):void
{
redmovie.play();

View 2 RepliesI have two flash ads that need to look as though they are interacting. is there a way to make sure they load at the same time so they can sync every time? they do not need to communicate with each other just load simultaneously so the animation lines up. can local connection object work for this?I suppose I could stager load em and plan the animation accordingly if simultaneous load gives issues. is there a proper way to load one ad and then the second say 10 frames in, ya know?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to do a little multimedia player where I have at least 9 small videoclips that I would like to place and play - all controlled by AS 3.0.
It might even be more than 9 clips, but they will show randomly in 9 places. A movie can switch viewport too.
I will preload them all into buffers and I would like to play them randomly at the same time.
This means that there could be 9 equally sized areas showing small movieclips including sound and random times.
Like this:
[1][2][3]
[4][5][6]
[7][8][9]
So its 1 Flash canvas/player showing them all at the same time.
Is this possible or will it crash Flash to play 9 movies including their sound? The movies might be of different length and will have to be reset and played many times, but I cant prerender the result as its randomly generated from user input.
like in... an example code of where to start? I've been thinking that I could put all the parts into one "sprite movie" and the play from frame XYZ for each "window" - but not sure how or if it will work..
