ActionScript 3.0 :: Retrieve Information About Size (in Pixels) Of Loaded FLV File?
Feb 25, 2009
how to retrieve information about size (in pixels) of loaded FLV file? Video object returns 2 pairs of parameters (width,height) which are useless because returns always parameters passed in constructor of Video() object. Another pair is (videoWidth,videoHeight) which is always (0,0). I gave up...
I need this information to scale proportionally video clip to size of area designed to display this video.

I am trying to place a condition statement so that it will only do an action if the swf loaded into the varaible is the same or empty. I start of with loading the sample1.swf into the movieclip swf_holder
Code:
var loadSwf:Loader = new Loader();
swf_holder.addChild(loadSwf);
loadSwf.load(new URLRequest(sample1.swf));
loadSwf.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
In order for me to get the sample1.swf to play, I create a variable so that I can just call on it

I use flex and php to retrieve information from my sql database. What i have been doing is formatting the result from the database query into xml and then putting the result into an arraycollection. It all works fine except one of my database fields contains a lot of text that website users enter and as xml doesn't like tags like <> so I leave it un formatted but I would like to format it. Would I be better using flashvars or text than xml? Or is there another way?

I am trying to retrieve some information back from my LMS and into variables in Flash with AS3. I used to be able to do this without any problems in AS2, but can't seem to find a way to make this work in AS3. In AS2, publishing with the "Flash with SCORM 1.2 Tracking" option, I could call a line like the following:
fscommand("LMSGetValue", "cmi.core.student_name,_root.stuname");
This would grab the student name from the LMS and store it in Flash in the variable named stuname.
Any way to do this with AS3? I can set values back to the LMS no problem still through fscommand such as score or completion, I just can't get anything back from the LMS such as student name or lesson location.

I am currently using the latest verion of Adobe Flash Builder to create a Mobile Application. For the application one feature is to allow the users to bookmark content an this is done by storing the id of the object to be Bookmarked into an SQLite db on the device. This part has been done successfully and they are stored fine.
Now what I want to do is to pull back the bookmarked id's from the database and pass them to a WebService call which needs to be made to an External Database. When I retrieve the Bookmark id's from the local database they are contained within object, I now need to find a way to take the id's from the database objects in the ArrayCollection and store them in a new array that will be passed to the WebService, as the webservice is expecting an Array of Int's and not Objects. Below is the code I created to see if the object items are within the array list of objects:
private function loop():void
{
var index:int;

I'm building a Flash website with database information with php>mysql>xml>Flash mx 2004. I'm having some major problems!I need to retrieve information of different tables in mysql, and was worried about performance issues.The first query gets the whole model list...The second query will be performed after a model is clicked. Something like: select * from modelinfo where modelID=modelIDinFlash.
The third query is what I have a lot of trouble with! This has to run on the same time or immediatly after the second query. It reads the picture urls and id's from that particular model. I need the filenames for the picture viewer.But everytime I try this third query, the site becomes very slow and have problems displaying the model info.NOW I have a temporary solution: in the first table I have a field which states how much pics each model has, and this number Flash uses to build the nr buttons. But this is not a very solution since I want to keep everything dynamic. I also want to build a drag and drop function... something like a shopping cart. For that to work, every picture must have an unique ID.

I want to get the name of the user and the X and Y position! Is there a way I can get this information without a load of fuss from functions and other junk remember im kinda noobish.

Is it possible to change the size of a moveClip on the stage by pixels instead of scaling it with scaleX and scaleY? In other words I would like to be able to in crease or decrease the width and height of a movieClip using pixels.
Let say I have this moveClip on the stage, how would you change its width and height using pixels
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resizeMe,false,0,true);
function resizeMe(event:MouseEvent):void{
// amount doesn't matter
//myMc.scaleX = 1;
//myMc.scaleY = 1;
}

Goal: I want flash to have accurate information about the width and height of the browser viewport in device pixels when intializing, resizing, or on browser zoom events.
Specifics: I need to embed flash into an html page that runs in chrome, safari, firefox, ie. The swf must fill the entire browser viewport.I don't want the flash to zoom.Inside of flash I can set StageScaleMode.NOSCALE so that flash renders to Device Pixels.I also set the state's alignment to StageAlign.TOP_LEFT.Now all I need is the number of device pixels in the browser!
Problem: when there is a browser zoom or I open the site while the browser is zoomed, I cannot easily get information on the browser's dimensions in device pixels.
Solution: acrobat.com's online document editor (formerly known as buzzword) handles this problem just fine (free to play with with an account).What are they doing?In webkit browsers, they are able to keep the document.width to report device pixels every time. I am not sure what they are doing in firefox and ie.
What doesn't work:Swffit does not support this.Just loading the swf into the browser is not a solution, as the swf needs to be embedded.This solution scales a swf to accomodate different browser zooms but does not get information on the browser window dimensions.

Using FDT, when I have a debug configuration with several operations in the launcher chain and the final launcher opens in Flash Player, how can I retrieve the build output from the console once the build is complete and Flash player is running?
It seems that once Flash Player has started the console clears to make way for the application's trace output, but I need to be able to look back over the events and build times for each item in my launch chain while Flash Player is running. Is there a setting I can enable to either log my build output to a file or to preserve it in the console?
Edit: I know I can still read the info when building normally, this question is specifically for building with the debugger.

I am trying to load an image of size 6000 × 8192 pixels which cleary exceeds flash platform limitation for an image.
I am trying which doesn't seem to work.
I have had search around the internet and found few components like BitmapDataUnlimited, and BigAssCanvas but I amn't sure if I can use them for displaying a remote image as none of them seem to have a working implemented example and just the class itself.

Users can write a text, modify it (in type, color and size) and choose a picture (which is loaded through a XML-file) for an e-card, then send it to whomever they want. But when they have made the modifications, how do I save the card, and then store it in a database?

Main loads test using the code below
ActionScript Code:
//create loader and url request
var contentLoader:Loader = new Loader();

What I'm trying to do is to trace the x-coordinates of a Movieclip called "dot" inside test.swf.
But I keep getting the error: "1119: Access of possibly undefined property dot through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader."
How do I get the x coordinates?

so instead of the pixels being dissolved, the pixels being added? :
ActionScript Code:
var Anim:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(blackbox);
Anim.startTransition({type:PixelDissolve, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:1, easing:None.easeOut, xSections:35, ySections:35});
basically what i would like is the end point to be the start point and the start point the end point.

I have a swf file that loads into my main movie, and within that swf there is a masked image that i would like to scale using zoom in and out buttons and also by using a slider bar.However i cant find any tutorials that will allow me to combine the two.I have used the following code for the buttons. Which seems to work ok but i would like it to be a little smoother. (using speed or some sort of easing??)
ActionScript Code:
zoomPlus.onRelease = function(zoomIn) {
if (test_shirt.shirt._xscale == 400 && test_shirt.shirt._yscale == 400) {[code]....
but for this code it keeps shrinking my initial object down to 10 pixels by 10 pixels..

I have a movie clip called column1_mc. when I click a button I need to move the movie clip in incremental moves consisting of 30 pixels.
column1_mc._y = 30;
Does not work because that is giving a _y coordinate.For example.I need to make the movie clip jump to _y 300 but make 10x30 pixel incremental jumps. Moving 10 times 30 pixel jumps.

So I have an SWF that I've made and I need to appened some instructions to the beginning of the project. I figured the easiest way to do this was to make the animation in a separate SWF then import it to the start of the first one. My problem is that I can't find a reliable way to tell when the first SWF is finished playing. I've googled the heck out of this but I can't seem to find anything that works. For some bizarre reason, no matter what I do the program seems to think that the external SWF only has 2 frames, if I put an ENTER_FRAME listener and trace externalSWF.currentFrame I get "1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2..." My code looks something like this.
[Code]...
Also, for the record, the external SWF plays properly when I add it as a child. The problem is removing it from the stage when it's done playing. It's interactive so I can't just do a frame count.Edit: So I tried doing a getQualifiedClassName() call on extSwf and I got "Instructions_fla::MainTimeline_Preloader_" which could explain the frame discrepency. How can I have access to the actual timeline?

how to grab the transparency (or alpha value) of individual pixels in an embedded or loaded video? We tried copying over a frame of video into a bitmapdata object with transparency enabled. However, even though we can "see through" the video at certain spots (indicating alpha = 0 there), the alpha value comes back as 0xFF for every single pixel in the BitmapData object.Obviously alpha data is being stored inside the embedded video, but how can I actually get that value?

I'm building a product page, here's the setup:
[URL]
On the index.swf is the main navigation that'll open swf's for the different categories. Those products.swf fills with products via php. This is the working code for products.swf:
ActionScript Code:
var t = "";
var cat:String = "products";
[code].....
Now my main issue is, I can't get the product_info.swf right. The problem is I don't know how you can define the products within the products.swf with a name, so you can tell which product you should display in the product_info.swf

I am trying to import data from a SVG but as i found out, SVG is essentially XML.I have loaded in the SVG file and managed to output this to the output window:
Code:
<svg:path style="fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:none;stroke-width:1px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1" d="M 53.8125,53.21875 L 52.84375,53.4375 z" id="path2435"/>The information i want to extract from this the M and L values.
Code:
d="M 53.8125,53.21875 L 52.84375,53.4375" Firstly im not really sure how to shave off the rest of the garbage to leave me with the above.Then comes the issue of actually finding what i want to work with. I want to end up with an array of Point objects, So in this example, i would have 2 points in my array:
point1 = (53.8125) , (53.2187)
point2 = (52.8437) , (54.4375)
This seems hugely complicated so i was wondering if anyone can enlighten me? Do i need to use regular expressions for what i want to do and if so, do you have any tips?

I have a swf file that's (for example) 500px wide, however, the viewing area (meaning the viewable content) of the swf is 300. The other 200px is masked out. If I try to align the viewing area, then it doesn't work because the alignment is based on a 500px width, not 300px. Normally, I'd just do a little math to make the 200px adjustment, but in my case, I don't know what the size of the actual viewing area is (because the swf is being loaded dynamically). Is there a way I can check color of the pixels, or check to see if there is some type of transparency occurring at a certain point?
