Actionscript 3.0 :: DivX Web Player Desktop Dimmer
Apr 19, 2009
I have a question regarding full screen in flash. I have a movie playing in the middle of the screen and currently there are lots of colourful buttons surrounding it which hijack the viewers' focus. What I want to happen is for the screen to dim around the movie. DivX Web Player's Desktop Dimmer as see on joox.net is the exact example of what I want to happen. (where the whole screen darkens unless you move your mouse)

I am trying to work out an approach to developing a desktop application that would play movies, games and various flash material such as flash games and flash flip books. The movies will be in both video format and swf format, and will need to be compressed and encrypted for transmission to users and decompressed/decrypted by our player so as not be viewable by other players. The installer would be platform / OS dependant.
The player / user interface would need to be written in a 'portable' language so it can be cross-complied to different platforms ( Windows, Linux/Android, Mac, Iphone/Ipad, ... ) If this is not possible than atleast it should work on the PC and MAC. The idea here is to ideally maintain one code base so the client will experience the same interface on each platform we support.
My questions are-
What would be the best approach to develop these applications?
Is it possible to acquire public / open source code where much of the work has already been done and then add my code to it?
If open source code is available where could I get it from?

Is there any way I can create a slider on my desktop to access some of the controls of the YouTube Video player like volume, pause, play, playback speed? I know it is a flash player, but would this involve accessing the YouTube API or something else? For example, I'd like to program something similar to what's provided by the Enounce MySpeed application (control over play back speed).

I am using Flash CS5 and when I exprt my file to swf I notied that after exporting and playing it in Flash player (on my desktop) I can change the size of the window and the scene itself eventthough I have set the width and height dimension to e.g. 468x60.
So, the bad thing is that if I ahve some objects that are moving from this area and in banner I do not see them in flash player I can see all which is not good.
Is there a setting in export option to disable this behavior or some actionscript, so my client will not be able see the "mess-behind-the-scenes" :)?
I can probably remove some objects using actionscript, however if I have looping background image it is necessary to be bigger than 468px In my case 3x.

When I publish the swf file with html, it works fine on my computer. If I send it to my old computer with Win XP and for most other people it works fine. But there are some who just get a black screen when it plays or a "get flashplayer" symbol. They update and it still doesn't work. They do not have a company setting that does not allow them to play the file and I have walked them through the browser settings so that anything should play. But still, no luck.

I have only worked on web apps for my whole career.I'm starting a new desktop (Adobe AIR) app project but I found myself having difficulties with:
stuck with thinking about overall UI design in the traditional page model
not sure how to handle the navigation part in the UI
not taking advantage of states
deciding what should be implemented on client vs server side, (or on both?).

Suppose I develop an application with the logic as a CLI program that can be compiled to various platforms. To add a GUI, I could develop native versions separately for each platform or I could use a cross-platform tool like Tcl/Tk, wxLua, or PyGTK. Some people, like Bruce Eckel and James Ward, promote Flash/Flex on Adobe AIR for this.[code]...

I want to have site visitors be able to put a link to a website on their desktop. Asking them to click on a link, bookmark it, and then save the link to their desktop is too involved. A one click solution is what I'm hoping for, but something like dragging an icon off the .swf to the desktop would be okay.

This post might belong to the As3 forum, but i think i might fit in here too..I am trying to get 2 "windows" or swf to to connect together (one sending event and the other receiving them, one way.) for a desktop application offline. First i thought I should use the localConnection, but it doesnt really work offline, i get errors and sandbox violations Now i am considering the nativewindow with a AIR app. All this using Flash CS5 (not flex). What is the best way to proceed?

I wish to replace my desktop replacement with a tablet PC I have visions of Cintique-like functionality yet portable majesty...
But the graphics cards on these machines are total crap. However, some graphics card models claim to steal memory from the RAM, so in theory if I soup up the RAM I have a really powerful graphics card?
Anybody out there author on a tablet PC? I'm running Flash CS3, and must make my decision soon![URL]..

I am writing a desktop application and trying to decide between using AIR (FLex) or Java.Some of the requirements for the application are: needing to securely connect to webservices and JMShave a very interactive UI (lots oflittle and big features)displaying videoCommunicate with a C++ applicationTo implement the web services and JMS for Flex we were thinking of using Merapi to communicate with a Java application. Does this mean we should probably go with Java or does the better graphics capabilities of Flex still make it a better choice?

Can Flex be used for a desktop application whose business logic is written using Java? Everything I've read about flex uses a remoting or http protocol to communicate with the backend via a J2EE server, so I'm not sure how that would work for a desktop app (unless an embedded j2ee server was running in the app).

I have been looking all over the internet and I can't find any good (or recent) example from a air application where an image (for example) is dragged from the desktop in the application.
The problem is that flashbuilder gives errors on:
import flash.desktop.DragActions;
import flash.desktop.TransferableData;
import flash.desktop.TransferableFormats;
import flash.desktop.DragManager;
(and this are only the errors at the import section)I know this last one can be replaced by mx.managers.DragManager, but this is another class since than I get errors on "DragManager.acceptDragDrop" for example...

I'm working on a desktop application that uses API keys for Twitter but AFAIK, AIR applicatioons are easy to decompile. I want the processing of the API requests to be client-side, not server-sided. At most, I want to keep the dependency onto the server to as low as possible.
What I'm thinking is sending the API from the server to the AIR app on the first run. I've already seen Shared secret with API in an Ajax Adobe AIR app but my question is a bit different in that, I want to know how secure ELS is?
How does Adobe work it's way to storing stuff into the ELS? Does it go through multiple encryption sessions before finally getting stored somewhere on the computer?

I want to create a simple desktop admin application for an IOS app that will work with a REST api I've built.Couple of years ago I would go with Flex/Air, just makes it very simple. But since I am butt-hurt with the way Adobe have handled Flash in general, I am looking to write it using some different tool.So far, Java Swing looks rubbish (UI-wise I mean). Others aren't cross platform and often too complicated.
