View 2 RepliesIn my attempt to create a simple Pong-like game, I've encountered a very strange and at times severe visual bug.When I set the ball (A Flash CS 5.5 library MovieClip) in motion moving around the screen at a rather fast speed, I've noticed that sometimes the edges of the ball would be cut-off for a short moment in the direction it is moving.
When it happens, it almost seems like the position of the ball MovieClip is slightly ahead of its own border and thus the part that is outside the border fails to get drawn.
Here's a picture that illustrates how this looks - at least for me:
You can also view the .swf file online here: [URL]
Some technical data:
I've been unsuccessful in capturing the with a screenshot no matter how much I tried. Sometimes I would open the .swf and the bug would be almost non-existent while at other times it was very blatant. I'm using an EnterFrame event function to increment / decrement the x and y position of the MovieClip. I have never encountered any such problem in any Flash app, in this machine or others. Truncating / rounding the x and y values of the MovieClip didn't help. Neither did setting cacheAsBitmap to true.

View 3 RepliesMost of my applications are a combination of VB.NET and Adobe Flash, such that the VB application is displaying a Flash file inside the main form (using Adobe's COM object). The VB application is communicating with the Flash file via the ActionScript ExternalInterface and FSCommands (using XML strings). I'm having a hard time debugging the applications, since when an error occurs withing the Flash file (due to a bug in the ActionScript code) I'm getting a non-informative exception.
What I'd like to do is to debug both codes at once. At the very least I'd like to see the runtime error output as it is shown when I'm working with Adobe Flash. At the best scenario, I'd like to be able to hook my VB.NET code with the Actionscript code such that I can use breakpoints in both.
I'm trying to make a visual novel in flash, I have created the UI and the characters, but I don't know what could be the best approach as how to load the dialog and how to save them. I've been thinking about external files, but I don't know what could be the best type of files to do so. Also, when I load the game I want it to continue in the same scene and with the same variable values (obviously) is there a way where you can save all of them (like an image of the game).

I was just wondering if anyone out there has had any luck trying to get a flash app to talk to either a visual basic or c++ application? I need to build a player [flash embeded into the vb or c++ application] that when the user say, pushes a button, calls a function or action from within the app. Any Idea How would I go about this?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a visual waveform for an MP3. The code I've included is called on successful load of the MP3. I intend to extract just a few important samples from the sound to create the waveform, rather than extract the entire sound into a bytearray. Even on a good machine, extracting an entire song can cause flash to freeze up for 3-5 seconds (or longer!). For my purposes, this isn't feasible.
Unfortunately, the code I've got below is failing to produce any numbers. If I extract the entire song it functions, but extraction of just the key points is giving me nothing. Does performing an extract make the remainder of the sound object invalid for future extracts? If so, is there some way around this that won't freeze flash for an extended period of time during the extract? Some important variables from the rest of the code:

View 2 RepliesI need to run some code when a panel is destroyed. The code is simple, I have some Background tasks while it is opened, but need to stop them when closed.
I have a Close button for the panel, and I stop the BG Tasks when the user wants to close the panel, the problem is that they have access to a top menu bar too and can jump to another application module/part throught it, so, the user can exit the panel (when exiting, the panel is automatically destroyed) but the panel close event code is not executed because the close button was not pressed.
One solution could be to inherit from panel and add a post step method that is called when swapping modules, etc... So, if the user wants to move to another place through the menu bar, my system will first call sometihng like PreEnd() method on the panel and everything will be solved. But, is there any event that I could catch from the panel when it is destroyed to accomplish this? I have been checking the documentation but couldn't find anything useful to achieve what I explain.

I recently made a mp3 player in Flash. I have an aspx page that has the mp3 player in it as well as a .net button which is disabled on page load. The .net page tells the audio player waht file to play and the player plays.

I am not sure how to do this [have Flash tell the aspx page that it is done playing].
View 2 RepliesI am not any kind of network programming pro, but it happened that I have faced necessity to develop socket-server on php (no way for using Java) for flash multiplayer browser-game (standard features like locations, team battles, etc).
The main problem is that TCP is point-to-point protocol and it completely occupies given port.Of course it is possible to create some kind of queue, which will manage connections to the socket, but this solution doesn't seems to be the fittest one.
It seems to me that using interval of "fair" ports (from 2000 to 2200, for example) is more fitting solution, because one request may take a lot of time to execute and players won't be happy to wait in queue.
But how can I implement this "port inteval" strategy?The solutions that I see are:
launcing php-script per every port (he-he, 2 hundreds of launched scripts!);somehow forking the initial process to new processes (2 hundreds of processed? Not nice too), one for every port;additional while-loop, which listens all the ports (looks very bad);using threading or something like that (the problem is that php is single-threaded, as far as I know; pcntl?).But somehow I don't like any of them, or at least don't know how to implement them in the best possible way.
What is the best existing strategy to handle multiple requests from multiple users per time unit without delays, and how to implement this strategy in php? We have our own Debian-server, so it is possible to use any required php extensions.
For example, if we are trying to develop chat application, we need some sort of fixed (I mean persistent) connections for each user. For example, we have 80 users in chat, and then one of them posted a message, which server tries to handle and send to all other connected users, also putting an entry to the history file or something like that.
In this situation polling server for new messages every 10 seconds from each of 80 users is craziness, so the need in persistent connection gets obvious.But I don't know what is the best way to implement something like this, considering that not all requests are handled instanlty.

[code]I am able to successfully get the externalString variable and procceed with the rest of the AS3 script in Firefox, Safari and Chrome, but not in IE.If I add in an alert (stringFromHTML) before the return statement in the Javascript, I get the value of the stringFromHTML spammed, which looks like Flash is firing the function at the right rate[code]Unfortunately, the HTML code is actually working within a 3rd party HTML generator, and one of it's limitations is that I can only have a single line (with unlimited length) of html at a time.Are the other options (swfObject etc) able to run either with no line breaks in the code, or would I be asking for trouble with Javascript and the SWF to, instead of embedding the SWF directly, use something like an iFrame and refer to a 'proper' flash delpoyment html file?
