I want to use OnMetaData to get when a video.flv is done playing. I try different ways to do this even building a class but to no avail. For some reason I can't get inside the metaDataHandler function and trace a string (or bring metadata out) to let me know I'm inside.

I have a situation where a simple query against a table is returning incorrect values in Flex, but not in other GUI front-ends to SQLite.
select title from ttl where ttl.ttl = 140 // ttl is also the column name of the PK column
is returning the title that belongs to the row whose PK = 1400.
ttl.ttl is defined as int datatype.
Again, the problem manifests itself only in Flex, not in other GUI front-ends to SQLite, which are returning the correct title value.
What language construction can be used to make a compile time checking of Array elements type when the Array is a function parameter?[code]Here we've marked the returned Array as one containing elements of type string.Is there a way to mark the parameter variable as an Array containing elements of certain type?I'm specially interested in the Array collection. I'm aware of the vector collection but I have reasons not to use it in my case.
View 3 Repliesi have a question i have a primary and secondary function which i want it to be dynamic so i can get the user to enter in six to seven different or as many as required argument parameters for my primary function

how can i trace its value out side of this function ?
create a button, create a movie clip with two frames.
place a button instance in frame 2.
place a mc instance on the stage.
create another instance of the button to change the movie clip instance to frame two.
the button in the movie clip is pressed and executes a function.
here's the code
Code:
// create the button to show the button!
_root.button_instance_2.onPress = function() {
buttonClick1();
[Code].....
if, however, i use the same code on a movie clip that has only one frame it will work fine. do i need to tell the function to target the button instance any more specifically than that?
I have eight images in a MC that I would like to sequentially fade in, display for a few seconds and fade out using _alpha function. So far I can fade one in with this AS:
img1._alpha=0
img1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha +=10;
}
Assuming my instances are img1, img2, img3, etc, etc... how would I go about sequentially fading each instance from 0 to 100, letting it display on the stage for a few seconds and then fade out (like a slideshow)?

I'm trying to add the btns in array "but" via stageMc.addChild(section1), but instead of tracing "section1" I get "instance1", and of course stageMc wont advance. I guess what I'm asking, is whats the diff. from a functional standpoint if I embed the clips in flash, or embed them into the stageMc clip via the display list? what am I missing? FYI, this code works, so long as i place the assets on stage myself. But I want to add the btns via the display list, and i can add them, they just instanciate wrong?

I don't know why, I don't know how, but for some reason setting the FLVPlayback.bufferTime property to anything past its default value of 0.1 will (more often than not) make it so the .flv metadata does not ever make it to the video player. Granted, this may also have to do with my slow connection, but I know I am not the only one who has had this problem hose of you who have made players with custom seek-bars know the lack of metadata is can be a problem because the FLVPlayback.totalTime property is set directly from the"duration" property of the FLVPlayback.metadata objecty suspicion as to why this is not a more widespread issue is due to the "one video per player" nature of players on websites. I don't believe that players often reuse the net connection of the same FLVPlayback control to load one video after another (however, I could be wrong, this is all assumption on my part anyways).1) The FLVPlayback's net connection is reused (that is, you call the load() or play() method several times during the lifetime of the videoplayer.
2) You notice that occasionally meta information is never received when you increase the buffer time to a value above the default.3) Your seek-bar does respond or you get a run-time error when you try to seek (most likely because totalTime property NaN and the playheadPercentage property relies on this value)The simple solution (or so I am led to believe ): set the buffer time back to the default value before every call to the new connection. In other words, make sure that the the FLVPlayback.bufferTime property is set to 0.1 before calling the load() or play() method for a new video. This will ensure that the metadata is properly received by the component for playhead calculations.
Code:
//assume we have an existing FLVPlayback component
myFLVplayback:FLVPlayback = this.flvPlayer as FLVPlayback;

I've been trying very diligently to recieve id3 metadata from a streaming mp3. I have it streaming and it works great, but I need to grab the duration in the metadata.here's the jist of my code,
id3_ns = new NetStream(connection);
id3_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,
netStatusHandler);[code]....
The only other thing I can think of trying is see if my mp3 is screwed-up, but I don't think it is because I can see the
metadata in the properties of the file.
In Flash CS3 when you did Modify/Document it allowed you to type in a document Title and Description which were metadata searchable by internet search engines. According to the book "Brilliant Flash CS4" this is still possible in CS4, but I think they have removed the option, and the book is wrong. add metadata for searching to FLA documents or is this now gone?

I´m playing around with SWF files exported from indesign CS4. I wonder if there is a way to read any metadata from those files. Or is there any? I have not found any AS3 method to trace metadata like time/date or even some unique ID...something that I could use later to specify that file.
View 4 RepliesFor the longest time, I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my CS4 FLAs were getting larger every time I did a Save and Compact. I finally tracked it down to the @#$% metadata. Every time you save an FLA, it appends a useles chunk of metadata to it, that looks something like this:
<rdf:li rdf:parseType="Resource">
<stEvt:action>saved</stEvt:action>
<stEvt:instanceID>xmp.iid:BD2F8041D0ACE01185F1A1E26A912C41</stEvt:ins tanceID>

This can be viewed in Flash by going to File -> File Info... -> Raw Data.
On frequently-updated files, this junk can easily add dozens or hundreds of K to the size of an FLA. So my question is this: Is it possible to edit an FLA's metadata?
What software is available for extracting metadata from an FLV? I'm testing an flv streaming module for apache (mod_flvx) and need to extract keyframe info from an flv for debugging purposes. I was only able to find FLV MetaData Viewer, but its dated, from 2006, and doesn't install properly on Win7. [URL] Edit: I'm open to any method of extraction, either app or library.
View 1 RepliesI've set a custom client for a FLVPlayback's netStream, to attach my own functions (onXMPData, onMetaData) to parse the various info myself. However, i'd still like to pass the meta data back to the VideoPlayer. How do I do this? I tried dispatching a METADATA_RECEIVED event with the metadata object (tried dispatching from the client, the netstream, the video player, the flvplayback..), but it does not work.
View 1 RepliesI think this is in the wrong forum... sorry! Should be AS3) I am trying to dynamically create listeners using metadata from a list of instance names in an array. Here is my code:
[Code]...
This has to be simple, if only I knew how. I'm an AS3 newbie, and am having difficulty setting up multiple specific EventListeners within a code generated display object container.
I am generating a 'page' (Sprite) with a heap of 'cards' (Sprites) on it. Each of those cards, in turn, contains a selection of text boxes and other objects generated from database output using a 'for' loop. My hope is to attach an EventListener to each 'card' so that a MouseEvent will let me manipulate the data that lead to the content of that actual card (the i-th iteration of my for loop). I've been playing with everything I can think of (limited repertoire of thoughts though) and the best I've managed is for my EventListener to access the final set of data, whichever 'card' I click on. I've summarised and attached my code for the function, how to get back to the i-set of data from the EventListener attached to the i-th card. I can handle the PHP and MySQL side of things but am fumbling my way into the OOP of AS3.
I have a AS3/CS5 project in which I am dynamically loading in a font whose location is passed in via XML.
I want to then embed the font per below:
Code:
//font location string passed via xml - "/fonts/randomfont.ttf"
var fontLocation = xml.navigation.font.@fontLocation
[Embed(source=fontLocation, fontFamily="font1", embedAsCFF="false",
[Code]....
it works fine. Are you not able to use variables as metadata in the embed tag? Is there a work around for this?
An image, like a jpeg, has a bunch of metadata stored in it.The "IPTC Core" metadata usually includes the photographers name,address, title, description, etc.Is there any way to access this information using AS3 so that, say, captions for images in a flash gallery could be generated automatically?

I'm having some trouble finding out how you can add metadata to a live stream. I'm streaming the webcam over fms and recording it in main.asc. So far so good. I have 2 applications. One that sends data and one that recieves data. The functionality is more or less like this example. The article says: "Note: If you record the video on the server side (a functionality of FMIS), the injected events are lso being triggered by the recorded file." That is what I want, but I have no idea how to make it happen. The problem is that I can't find any good examles for as3 and I have never looked into as2 (still new to flash in general )
View 1 RepliesThis seems like it should be a no-brainer, but I can't find any classes to do this ?? I can find classes to read song titles from MP3 files, I want to do similar with jpeg image files. In photoshop and lightroom you can set up titles and captions (and copyright info) in the metadata. When you save a jpeg this gets embedded in the file. How to read this info and parse it and use it once you have loaded it into a BitMapData? I am Flash/AS3.0 code only no IDE
