Is there any way i can get CPU usage and CPU memory usage details in flex? I know that flash can't access any system resources.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to learn how to create a java web service that can be consumed by a web tier, which is constituted of java and flex. What books can help me learn how to create a java web service and consume it via java & flex?Should I look to build a web service from scratch or from frameworks like: XFire, Axis, CXF, Spring Web Services, etc.?If using a framework is recommended, which of the above or any others makes the most sense to learn/use?
EDIT:Both the java AND flex components of the web tier need to independently access the web service. For example, the flex component helps the user create & save a spreadsheet; the java component retrieves the spreadsheet data and displays it accordingly.
Hopefully this is a straight forward question but as far as resources when compiling a flash project is flash more cpu dependent or gpu dependent? Trying to spec out a machine and need to determine what flash is going to use more.

I have a simple flv player which connects to a CDN which can take header byte range requests if a user wants to skip through a flv without the need for the flv to be 100% loaded.I am using a third party http librabry to add the range header to the request.My code plays the flv but when I try to skip to 30 seconds into the video it just freezes. I beleive the cdn does return the file as i can trace through the bytes and the header has the content-range repsonse (below).[code]
View 0 RepliesI am using NetStream.appendBytes() to play a local video (no server involved) in Adobe AIR. I would like to use BitmapData.draw() to take a picture of the video output, but I am getting this error:
Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: cannot access null. No policy files granted access.
Here is some sample code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.filesystem.File;
[Code].....
This is only sample code use for an explanation. The error would happen when calling the getImage method while the video is playing. The error mentions a policy file not found. Since the file is loaded locally there isn't really a place to put a policy file. Is there a policy setting somewhere that needs to be set or is the BitmapData.draw feature just not available when using appendBytes?
I have a problem with my video player, I'm doing the video display through a seekbar appendBytes and I have but I can not make the video go to a certain point of view when I click on seekbar. I found that the problem is in how I view the video, which is the appendBytes.

I have an FPS monitor running and notice that I am getting choppiness here and there, bringing my game from 40 to 27 fps and back and forth at certain stages. I have an idea of where it is happening, but do not know for sure. I looked up quite a few memory monitors but haven't found anything decent yet. Is there a memory monitor that allows you to see the memory leaked and find its location? If not, how about just he memory leaked?

View 2 Repliesi know there is a code that determines which of two values is larger and returns the larger value.i cannot seem to find it in the actionscript help.i know you can do it with

I am in desperate need of some assistance (again). I have created some thumbnail images (as buttons) that need to open to larger images once clicked.
Currently I have it set up to open a new browser window but this is not what I want.
Herewith existing code:
thumb1.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, goto_thumb1 );
function goto_thumb1(e:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( "thumb1.swf" ), "_blank" );
}
I need the larger pic display to be restrained to the size 600x400 and preferably to load in front to the main website (like a popup).
I am trying to use Actionscript and movie clips. I get my script to work but my thumbnail does not enlarge when clicked. It stays the same size. Here is the script that I am using:
[Code]...
The thumbnail moves where it is supposed but does not get any larger. I have been working on this for 2 days now and have almost lost my mind!
I have opted to use the UILoader component to load external .swf's of my images. The problems I am running into are that: one, the UIloader does not seem to be loading at all some of the time
and two, I cannot have a UILoader that is larger than the dimensions I am loading the image into.
For the first problem, is there a way to put a progress bar that specifically targets the UIloader so I can make sure that it is actually loading? I've been looking for a tutorial for this, but have yet to find one that explains the code and what it does, making it difficult to customize.
For the second problem, is there any workaround for this, or are the dimensions of the loaded .swf limited to the dimensions of the base .swf?
Anyway, I have a 2037px wide flash movie that I purposely made that wide so that it would take up just about any screen.
What I'm trying to do is simply center it and basically hide the overflow on smaller screens when the movie appears on the end user's monitor. I can't get it to center, however, as it always just wants to align to the left. I don't want to use the 100% feature because that distorts the movie.
I've tried using the "overflow: hidden; text-align: center;" CSS feature, to no avail. Is there a way in CSS to make this work? Do I need to use javascript or something? If so, which script do I use?
i would like to use the following APIs...
PrintJob.start()
PrintJob.addPage()
PrintJob.send()
...to print a chart displayed in the user's browser as part of a full-screen Flash application. This works fine if the browser window is larger than the available print job page size. However when the browser window is smaller, the print out is clipped. How do i resolve this? Is there an object I can add my Sprite to that will not get clipped by the bounds of the browser window?
import flash.display.BitmapData;
holder1._visible = false;holder1b._visible = false;one_slct.onRelease = function() {var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(300,200);bmd.draw(_root.gmb_mc);holder1.attachBitmap(bmd,1);};
The size of the original MC is 300 x 200. Using the above code how can I convert it to a bitmap 5 times larger as the original MC? (the original MC is a vector drawing)
The more I work with this program, the more weird stuff I encounter. I set up my .fla file as 700 x 400. I've been putting stuff on the stage and adding tweens, then when I test the movie, part of the stage image is cut off. I turned on the ruler, and found that the top of my stage is aligned at X 0.00 and Y -44.50. I drew a box the size of the entire stage, and its position is X 0.00 and Y -44.50, and the dimensions are 700 x 469. Can anyone tell me why my stage is larger than 700 x 400, and how to get the top left corner of the stage to be aligned at X 0.00 and Y 0.00?

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a web banner campaign, which as you probably know involves strict file size limits -- an extra 1 or 2k here or there can mean the difference between an ad being accepted or rejected by publishers. What I've been finding is that that files published from Flash CS4 are about 10% bigger than the exact same documents published via Flash CS3. Is this a documented bug with Flash CS4? Is it just not ready for primetime, as far as producing banners goes? I'm using AS 2.0, targeting Flash Player 8; I've deselected the option to include XMP metadata, and checked the Compress Movie checkbox. Using the new (slightly awkward) Motion Tweens or using the old-style Classic Tweens doesn't seem to make a difference.
One interesting tidbit: I'm using TweenLite and one easing class, which should add around 5k to my file. However, in CS4, the size report says that I've got 17k of ActionScript classes included. What's weird about that is that if I comment out the import statements, size report now says I have 5k of ActionScript 2.0 classes - but my file size doesn't drop by a corresponding amount (it only decreases by about 5k). Very odd.
Relative newcomer to Flash, and I have (what should be) a simple question: how does one go about making the CS3 checkbox component larger? I'm not talking about the bounding box (checkbox + label); I'm talking about the checkbox itself. I've looked all over the place, and I'm stunned that this doesn't appear to be as easy as I thought.
View 1 RepliesI have sprites with dynamically created children: combo-boxes, buttons, and textfields. The number of children is variable and they're positioned vertically one under the other. If a sprite contains textfields only, its height corresponds to the joint height of all children + the spaces between them. In the case of sprites containing combo-boxes and buttons however, the sprite height is larger.
I may be on the wrong track here, but it seems that what is responsible is the object bounds. E.g. if my button height is 25 and getBounds returns 100, the sprite's height is larger by 75 pixels.The sprites are loaded into a scroll-pane, and depending on their size, the vertical bar is visible (or not). Obviously the above results in situations where a scroll-bar appears even though the entire contents of the sprite is visible, or one scrolls down to an empty space...Is there a way around this problem? Can object bounds be re-sized as well or can I overwrite this '100' value somewhere in Flash itself?
