View 7 RepliesI am trying to program a simple chat program. I have looked all over the net for an easy to use tutorial for exchanging information between Flash 5 and a MySQL database. The reason this is so hard is because I just started PHP and MySQL last week.
A. Sending 1 line of text to a table in a MySQL database via PHP.
B. Allow flash to retrieve the latest line of text from a table.
Is it possible to stop a (live) Stream from playing for a user, but keep his NetConnection open for eg chat functionality?I only see a setBandwidthLimit to accomplish something similar to this, but then, if BW is set to 0, chat won't work.Why isn't there a built in feature to do something of seemingly common necessity like Client.stream.stop/change function to stop or change what video playback the client sees?
View 2 RepliesI'm developing an application and i want to make one single connection for video(netstream) and chat(sharedObject).I have one connection for each but i have limited connection available in the server so i need to make a single connection to handle the video net stream and chat sharedObject.I use this urls to connect:
private var serverWebcamURL:String = "rtmp://myserverIP/live";
private var serverChatURL:String = "rtmp://myserverIP/multicast/chat";
I'm trying to create a very simple chat application in Flex/.Net using FluorineFX but can't get it to work.
<mx:VBox
width="100%"
height="100%"
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
[code]...
It's compiling all fine, and when I try to send I don't get any errors, but also no result. No message is received. Am I on the right path? What's the logic behind the endpoint uri? What port should I use? Should I configurate Web.config? (beyond the flourinefx configs that enable RemotingService?) I don't get any response in the flourine.log.
I am trying to implement a simple chat application in adobe flex 3 with php as back-end. I have found few frameworks on net, AMFPHP and WebOrb. But I see that both these frameworks do a polling to the server at regular intervals.

It worked very well!NetConnection -> NetGroup -> 2 NetStreams -> netstream play and publish -> last, netgroup post.The sample was all OK.[code]I couldn't get events about NetGroup and NetStream any more..When using Stratus, It worked well...I am not familiar with FMS.. did I skip something in FMS setting?

i am having a strange local connection problem in Safari. The bottom line is that the exact same app works fine in Firefox, but safari is not making the connection. Using External Interface, i can confirm the connection strings are correct and matching..
View 2 RepliesWhen we do XML.load on flash application, then we do netstat on the server-side it opens a persistent connection. Im finding out the reason why its doing that, it should be close right away when the xml loading has finished. problem is the connection remains open.
View 5 RepliesI dont know a lot about html5 but is this expetced to compete with Flash/AS3 with regards to game making, data connection etc? It hard to image OOP with html as some games take thousands of lines to do.
View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem that I'm not sure is necessarily tied to the Flash, but I don't know what the root of the problem is yet.I have a SWF that connects to a socket using the Socket class. This works fine.I'm also making (jQuery) $.getJSON() requests to load certain page data. This works fine.
However, when the Flash socket is connected the Ajax requests stop being sent. By this I mean that it seems that the HTTP requests being made are stored in a queue while the socket is connected. As soon as I disconnect from the socket the HTTP requests continues to load fine. The HTTP request never times out (as it's not even being sent to the server), but just hangs there waiting...until I close the socket connection.
I've verified both in the jQuery and Adobe docs that both the Ajax (JSONP) requests and the connections using the Socket class are asynchronous, so I'm really confused as to why the socket connection would block the HTTP requests.
What would be the best language to use to write a script similar to chat roulette but interact with a MySQL database of users.
View 3 Repliesi want to create a chat app using flex 4.5 mobile project for android device. For the chat screen, i wanted it to look glossy and stylish. Hence i thought i would use the list component and disable the selection in it. I m able to add the chat messages into the list. But i doubt if large chat data might hinder the performance. Im using a collection and i ve binded it with the list. Whenever i receive a chat i update the collection and it gets displayed in the list. Can someone tell me if his could pose a performance problem as list component is not intended for this purpose.
View 1 RepliesI've been learning actionscript 3 for the past few days and really enjoying it. However I've spent hours trying to find out how to do something very simple in HTML. Say I have a form like this...
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="http://website.com/form">
<input type="text" name="your-name" id="your-name" />
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
How do I make it in Actionscript 3?
I started creating a simple navigation bar: [URL]
But decided to make individual buttons: [URL]
As you can see the latter repeats, however the code (after about an hour checking it seems to be identical:
Actions for frame one:
_root.buy_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_buy_mc) {
_root.buy_mc.nextFrame();
} else {
_root.buy_mc.prevFrame();
}};
Actions for invisible button:
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_buy_mc = true;
} on (rollOut) {
_root.mouse_over_buy_mc = fstartlse;
}on (release){
getURL("[URL]");
}
I was wondering how would i go about making a simple application that can be run on a website that can:
-show a opening page that will stay for 5 seconds (for advertisments)
-show random pictures (well they will only be text)
-can change slide by clicking on screen.
I'm trying to practice making a simple video phone app so I'm trying to make a program to send a video and recieve a video using Cirrus from Adobe. I'm having trouble recieving the stream though. Here is the cod that I'm using:
[code]...
Inside of the getVideoReveiver() function I'm getting the flag to go off from writeText("flag") then I get and output in the text box of:
NetStream.Play.Reset
NetStream.Play.Start
from the netStreamHandler, but the video never shows up in the receiving video element.I'm running this is two different videos of the same computer and taking the nearID from one stream and pasting it into the textInput theirID. I'm not sure what to try next?

I have posted the following in the Adobe forums a couple of days ago. I didn't get a respond and I also think I accidentally posted it in the wrong forum. So here's the post:Let me introduce myself. My name is Wisse and I have been working with Adobe products since I was a child at the age of 8 (10 years ago). Well, then it was called Macromedia Flash but you understand what I mean. I have always been using flash for making animations and small simple applications (for presentations and games) in my spare time. I also use photoshop and dreamweaver for making sites and other things. So I will soon order the new CS5 web design collection.
I have a big (biggest so far) project coming up and before I really started I thought it'd be best to orient on what Flash application(s) to use and how I will make this project. So here is the plan:I am making a dutch driving exam site where people can take practice exams for a small text message fee. The application will have to look slick and work smoothly. I made this to clarify what the application has to do.I have never worked with Flash Builder and Catalyst but I kind of like the idea of making nice looking interfaces using Catalyst and then export them to Flash Builder. But as I just said, I have never worked with Flash builder and so I don't know whether I will be able to make this on Flash Builder (due to it's complexity). Flash builder also has some nice options for accessing external data (the XML, HTTP API and PHP in this case). Catalyst's data list designer and transition animator will save a lot of time and effort when compared to doing it manually in Flash Pro. The big issue here is that I have no idea how to script the rest in Flash builder. but I want to make to be sure that Builder is the best way to go before doing so.But on the other hand, I am quite familiar with flash and that could also save time. Flash is a bit harder to use when I want to make a good UI and Flash builder wins when you look at the server communication and the debugging tools.
Is there a really simple way of creating a Flash time/date signature? I did a couple videos in sort of a surveilance camera style. So I was hoping to do an overlay with the date and have the time going up in seconds.

I can think of some tedious long ways of doing it, just wondering if there's an easy way to do it in AS3

making my image gallery, but it only works as each image in the array is clicked. Now I am trying to make the gallery move automatically to the next image in the array every 5 seconds while still giving the user the ability to click on an image to view the one that they want.Here is my code so far (like i said it works great, but only as a click-able gallery):

Basically the solution was simple. Everybody keeps saying to put jar into lib folder, so i done it, but i wasnt realised that i have to put into my servers lib directory, not app lib directory and this miserable mistake cost so much. Anyway i hope this will help for some newbie like me.In this particular situation im using red5, so i putted it into my red5 dist/lib directory and "surprisingly" its started to work.
