i made a masking anim using frame by frame animation on the mask layer...
when i exported the swf it was of 83 kb (too huge) and i checked it was all due to shapes in the mask layer....
i found "eltima swf optimizer" on internet but it gives only black and white output in the demo version ....
i opmitized all shapes one by one by using modify>shape>optimize using 100% optimization but when i exported swf this time was 114kb(even more) this sux!!!
my question is that is there any other "swf optimizer" that i can use for free.. (hey its my school project and i just need to mask a single jpeg)
in AS3 we use somthing like this to save image from SWF:
<AS>
import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData (sketch_mc.width, sketch_mc.height);
jpgSource.draw(sketch_mc);[code]....
Is it possible to save this sketch_mc in a larger size? Suppose its dimensions are 200x200 can we save it to 1000x1000 or something like that?
I'm working on a final schoolproject at the moment and the file size is getting really large... Because I might update this project later with more footage, I've already put a lot of code on the buttons which I have put between comment tags for now, so I'll be able to update it later easily.
The max on our project is 10MB, now there is a lot of external footage like sound and video, but still all the flash files together are taking up a lot of space.
Does anyone know if a lot of comments in the code have any effect on file size?
I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction as I don't have much time for trial and error...I have a bunch of FLVs that have a large file size that I would like to compress and resize...what would you recommend as the best software or method of doing so without losing too much quality?
View 3 RepliesThere is a simple html page with intro video (.mp4 file). Video frame size is 1280*1024 (I need video to be as large as page up to 1280 px).
With such quality settings video file size is:
.mp4 = 42 mb (HD 1690*1080)
.flv = 32 mb (1280*1024, 25 fps)
For video playing I used as3 sample script (because there must be only playpause, replay, mute buttons with custom styles), like that
var strSource:String = "video.flv";
// create a new net connection, add event listener and connect
// to null because we don't have a media server
[Code]....
The problem is that I can't find a way to play it smoothly. It's loading in very annoying way, video is interrupted after each few seconds of playing.
I understand that the main problem is large video file size and hd quality, but may be there is some way to largely decrease .flv size or handle playback in more friendly way?
How do I find which all embedded files are taking up sizes in a specific swf file. I am looking for something like Windirstat for swf files.
View 3 RepliesI have a textarea where I measure the textWidth and textHeight to make sure the user cannot enter more text than can fit in the text area. I also extended the textArea with a textHeightNow and textWidthNow that measure the textField's dimensions since they update w/out requiring validation. Now this works great for 90% of the embedded fonts I'm using but any fonts that have giant serifs are not measured properly, for instance look at the 'f's in this text area:You can see they get cut off on both sides because textWidth and textWidthNow both return an incorrect size not taking into account the massive serifs.

View 8 RepliesI'm trying to get the 255 smallest numbers from an array made up of all the alpha values in a given BitmapData, and storing these numbers in the Alpha array for paletteMap().We all know how to get the smallest/highest number from an array, or to delete repeating numbers or even to average numbers inside an array. I've been tweaking for 2 days with these possibilities but unfortunately I can't find anything satisfactory.
View 1 RepliesI am embedding the sowpods dictionary into an array in AS3 then submit searches using indexOf() to verify existence of the word. When I load a smaller text file it seems to work but not the larger. Since the file is embedded during compile, there shouldn't be an event for loading to listen to right?
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class DictionaryCheck extends MovieClip {

View 1 Replieswhen i run get lastIndexof for an array I get returned the the size of the array instead of the position here is the code:[code]but instead of returning the last index of it before the current index, it returns the current index (or jus the array length). help!!! it is my first time using lastIndexOf so I am probably using it incorrectly.ps this does not include some of the function run (i know i am passing a value which it does not look like i am using, but i know that part of the code works)
View 5 Replieshow much memory (and swf size) the various built-in data types take up in actionscript 3? I'm specifically interested in int, Number, and (dense) Arrays or Vectors. I'm working on a project where I need to embed large amounts of structured array data, which is already in C++ format, so porting is just a matter of copy-paste, search-replace. I've already had a look at Adobe's lowdown on datatypes but it's not specific enough, and doesn't mention Arrays, etc.

View 4 RepliesI'm just trying to find the size of a array I created. I know how to find the size of the swf and movieclips with getBytesTotal but that doesn't seem to work for arrays. anyone know of a method to find this or some built in function. I searched google and other search engines but only find the getBytesTotal command for use with MCs.
View 3 RepliesI have a problem where I have a flash file that constantly loops. It reads 3 different variables from a txt file and outputs their data. I also have it refreshing the swf so that when I change data in the .txt file it updates it realtime in the swf without having to reload the file. but what I also need is a way to tell it to make an array a certain length to populate this data. And instead of a fixed size as it is right now, to make it X long where X is declared in the .txt file that i am using.here is the code that im currently using:
Code:
loadVariablesNum("childdata.txt", 2);
imageNum = 0;

I do have a xml and i am having that content in an array using xpath. It was working fine. But in the rare case, i am loosing the content from last 7 or 6 or 5 or 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 index values. I couldn't able to find what exactly the problem was. once again if i replace the original xml and when i open it, it was fine.
View 5 RepliesSo ive been asked to build a page for a real state company and the guy told me it should be similar to these [URL] Ive been trying a couple of weeks so far, but i dont seem to find a way to do somthing similar, i mean, i want to have the welcome screen as those two:
- the gradient background
- flash occupies whole screen no matter what size it is
- gradient expands sideways infinately
- no matter what height my explorer window is, gradient is always in the same position relative to top, and if i keep expanding downwards the background keeps last colour of the gradient.
- the brand logo looks as if it had top, left and right anchors, and it also limitates the minimum width of the explorer window
i though of addind a 3000 x 3000px square with the gradient and centering it, but i know there has to be a professional way of achieving that.
I am trying to build a flash that auto-adjust its size to the browser window size, while leaving the content of the flash itself top-centered in the screen.I have found this solution [URL].. on How to keep centered stuff in this exact case so i am pretty confident i will be able to adjust that script to do what i want.
Now my problem is that if i put my content inside the movie-clip (centerrectangle) with all the animation require, link and other stuff, the movieclip (center rectangle ) never have the exact same center, thus making the script go wild trying to always adjust the location to the variable size of the movie clip.

I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.
View 5 RepliesI would like to know how to make flash size (width and height) full size in the browser? the real size of flash is w:955px h:600px I tried to make w:100% and h:100%, it makes pictures pixelate.
View 6 RepliesI want to create a panel (or any other component) inside a component that has a 5 pixel border on all sides, but scales fully when the window is resized. I know I can set width to "100%" to make it resize, but that gives me no borders. If I put it to "95%",I have borders, but they scale annoyingly. Also, that only works for borders on the right or lower bounds, and not to the left or upper sides.Is there a convenient way to do this without having to write tons of resize-code (in which case I will not bother and just accept bad rescale behaviour, as it is for a private pet project).
EDIT: I know that I can just overwrite the display handling and set the positions manually every frame. I wondered if there is a cheap way to do it in the mxml-structure, along these lines:
<mx:Panel>
width="100%" height="100%"
</mx:Panel>
Coming from C++ and Java, I am intrigued by the option of setting something to "95%" and let the library work out the details, instead of having to write many lines of code, just so my text-area always keeps a 5 pixel distance from the border, but scales with window width.If there is no easier way to do it than figuring out pixel sizes by hand and setting the coordinates.
I have a list of fonts obtained via Font.enumerateFonts() and I want to display them all as 12 pixels tall. The problem is that I cannot simply set the point size because this can vary in actual pixel size for each font. So basically I want to determine what the correct point size is for a font in order to make it exactly 12 pixels tall. Because I'm doing this with a potentially large list I'm looking for an efficient method to do this.
