View 6 RepliesI have 3 flv videos that I want to play if the user doesn't move the mouse in 10 seconds.. (I don't want all of them to play, I want to select a random flv video to play each time) at the moment I am just playing the video without any of the above happening:
var video:Video = new Video();
addChild(video);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

Would it be best to stream the video or import it into a movieclip?
Anyone have any suggestions on how I could hide the mouse cursor after a few seconds of inactivity, and then when the user moves the mouse, the cursor will reappear?Making the cursor reappear seems easy, I'll just add a listener for the mouse move event. However, I just don't know what the best way to hide the cursor after 5 seconds of inactivity would be

View 8 RepliesI am developing a video player for FMS 3.0 and my client complains that when he leaves the player running overnight or after computer goes to sleep when he comes back the elapsed time displayed as NaN and when he tries to play, nothing happens. Why is this happening? Does it mean that the connection with the FMS dropped and I have to reconnect? How can test for the dropped connection?

I originally posted this question on Flash Player forum but I've got a feeling it needs configuring at the server end, so I thought I'd ask you more technical guys.
When viewing streamed videos on a guitar tutorial website, if I pause for 5 minutes or more (to practice) I can't continue playing the video. When I click play it says 'loading' but just stays like that continually, or until the window is refreshed. The site uses real time streaming, not progressive downloading.
So I guess the connections timed out and been dropped after 5 minutes of inactivity, is this right? If so, has it been dropped by the server or by the player? Can it be configured at either end to stop this, or to lengthen the time before it happens?
I have a Flex/Java/MySQL/Hibernate application running on tomcat/BlazeDS which have very LOW activity, the user can even not visit it for months.The problem that after a month of inactivity the connections between tomcat and mysql are closed and then I need to restart both the mysql and tomcat servers, is there a way to avoid that and maintain the connection always open?

View 3 RepliesI'd like to do tooltip-type popups with some text. Is there an easy way to get the word under the mouse? Right now I'm reading the entire text field into an array where the index of the element is the number of the character, like so:var theString:String = 'This is some text.";and the array looks like this:[code]So the getCharIndexAtPoint function with the mouseX and mouseY is used as an index to the array, which returns the correct word. It works, but it seems like a crude way to go about it. Is there any way to get the html text of the link if the mouse is hovering over a word?

i've hidden the mouse icon and made crosshairs which are positioned wherever the mouse currently is.it works fine and dandy, except if i take the mouse off the screen, in which case it leaves the crosshairs at the edge where the mouse last was.i know it's not a big deal, but it also caused some minor problems with this drawing program i made before (which drew lines between the previous mouse position and the current) where if you took the mouse off the edge of the frame and brought it back over somewhere else it would draw a big line between those two points..so i'm just curious if there's any way to detect if the mouse has gone outside of flash's borders.
View 4 RepliesI m starting with actionscript, and I need help creating a script to detect when the the mouse pointer is no longer on a certain area (or "mc" area if we use one as an area reference ).please help me.
Its a drop down menu and the problem is when the mouse passes really fast, the menus do not hide back.For a solution, I thought of an action that would check and if the menu was still open after the mouse was out,and then trigger an action to hide it back.
so in as3 there is a nifty event listener for if the mouse has left the stage area, there is however, nothing of the sort in as2. so, Im trying to figure out how to go about this, Im thinking an onEnterFrame function that listens for eitherA.) no Movementor B.) the same x and y position for an extended period of time.Im thinking the no movement would do the trick but what should I be checking for on the onEnterFrame, and how would I tie setInterval into it? what properties would I check for if I used an IF/THEN statement?

View 4 RepliesI'm having trouble having my flash file detect when my mouse goes over and/or leaves a movieclip. I want to have a mini slideshow in my menubar which, when my mouse goes over the movieclip containing the slideshow, the pictures 'enlarge', and when the mouse leaves, the clip becomes normal size again.
This is the code I've gotten the best result with, as of yet, but it only seems to notice that my mouse leaves the movieclip half of the time, and sometimes there's a 'glitch' where the clip zooms and unzooms uncontrollably when my mouse is just next to the clip.[code]...

I want to detect whether the mouse has been clicked outside of a sprite (ie. a mouse click event anywhere on the screen except the sprite).
The idea is that you click outside an activated sprite to deactivate it. This is how menus and comboboxes function, but I can't see any way of doing it in actionscript.
I wanna detect the direction of mouse movement. If the mouse moves tpwards the left or right of its currrent position, i want to detect it. Is there anyway to identify such movement. Actually i am implementing a 360 degree rotation of image. That means , if the mouse moves along the left side of its current position, then the image should move along its left side, otherwise it should move along the right side. For example, view this site: [URL]

View 2 RepliesI am trying to detect when the mouse leaves a canvas. I know about the MOUSE_LEAVE, but this seems to only be valid for the stage, not Canvas objects. P.S. I have tried the mous-out, but, for some reason, that event keeps getting triggered everytime I move the mouse. I should probably point out that I have used the Mouse.hide() and replaced the cursor with a custom cursor.

I am creating an expandable flash banner using Flash CS3/AS3, with Event.MOUSE_LEAVE to detect when the mouse leaves the banner. In closed state the dimensions are 300x250, when expanded it opens to 500x500. As far as I can see the banner opens and closes perfectly in all browsers other than Safari (only tested on v4.0.3). It seems that in Safari when expanded to 500x500, the flash player fires the MOUSE_LEAVE event when the mouse leaves the 300x250 area, rather than the 500x500 area, ultimately closing the banner prematurely.
You can see it working (or not working in Safari's case) here: [URL]
This is the code I'm using to open/close the banner:
Code:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, open_banner);
function open_banner(e:MouseEvent):void {
removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, open_banner);
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, close_banner);
gotoAndPlay('open');
