direct me towards a Flv encoder, for mac, that is capabale of adding/inserting cue points. Preferably free, or cheap.I have been searching all across google but all I can find is "Moyea Flash Video MX", which in it's mac version isn't even capable of adding cue points.

Does anyone have any links about using appendChild() and insertchildbefore() because I can't seem to get this to work.
View 1 RepliesRecently started with a school project where I volunteered to do the scripting of (supposed to be) a simple game.The game: Animals make noises, by clicking on the right animal (associated with the noise such as a bark)you can make them stop. You need to get 8 animals right in 10 seconds (for sample). If you get that right a "win" animation starts, if you don't a "lose" animation starts. My problems:-Randomizing sounds within a set time limit.-Click the right object a that time to get a point.I searched the internet but in most cases I need to combine several scripts which has ended up wrong.
View 2 RepliesI have a list of flvs that are selectable with buttons and I would like to add cue points to the individual videos to trigger other events and I'm afraid my skills are lacking here.How do I target an flv in a list to add cue points and how do I target these cue points to trigger movie clips?
View 3 RepliesI've got some flash 2.0 code that is supposed to add 100 points after a hitTest.
Code:
function onEnterFrame(){
connectA();
var strandID:Number
function connectA(){
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
if (this.hitTest(_root["A_" + i])) {
this.strandID = i;
_root.total = _root.total + 100;
}}
The problem is that it adds 100 points 70 times per second (the frame rate). It's supposed to add 100 points and stop. Here's a little more info: the hitTest makes two movie clips move across the screen together. Maybe because they're constantly hitting as they move, I don't know.
Is there a free alternative to Soundbooth for adding cue-points to audio tracks for use in Flash? I seem to remember that you can add them to the file itself (I think). I know you can do this with FLV.
View 2 RepliesI have a flvplayback component onto which I am loading a video. To mimic next frame and previous frame actions I am adding cue points to the loaded for every second of its length. The next frame /previous frame functions implement seekToNextNavCuePoint and seekToPrevNavCuePoint on the video. But its not working the way I expected it to.
Here is the actual class file. You can directly compile it with an fla file containing button instances in the library for play pause stop... Also you would need some sample flv file.

Each time I click the "fold_btn" I need to be able to add 10 points and display it in a text box (rot1_txt).
Code:
on (press) {
_root.rot1_txt = 0;
_root.rot1_txt = _root.rot1_txt + 10;
}
Not working!
I have a video object inside a flash file. I am using NetStream to attach a video to the video object. How can I add cue points to the video ? Should I add a cue point to the video object or to the NetStream ? (I am using Flash 8.)
View 3 RepliesThis has been a long time question, why, when you bring illustrator artwork into flash does it add so many unnecessary control points to the object? something as simple as a circle with 4 happy control points in illustrator suddenly becomes a 20 control point circle when brought into flash. It has been this way forever and I know that there is no setting to change this?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to calculate an X/Y vector (calling it angle here) in code. Don't know hot to do static methods yet, so I'm doing the following in my class:
[Code]...
add multiple instances of an object to the stage at different but not random points.
For example - I have a box that is linked to a class file. In the class file I have an "ADDED_TO_STAGE" event listener. The function that is called places the box at a certain position on the stage say.... x=100, y= 200.
In the document class I create an instance of it like so -
_box:box = new box();
addChild(_box);
Now what I want is to create multiple instances of box on the stage every 5 seconds. But I don't want them all to spawn at (100,200) on the stage. But here's the catch, I don't want them to be random spawns either.
for ex- I want the first instance of box to spawn on (100,200), then 5 seconds later, the second instance to spawn at (200, 800), the third at (100, 500) and so on.
Would it be possible for me to create objects on the stage to serve as reference points for where i want the instances to spawn instead of writing the exact co-ordinates?
I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.
I'm pretty new to FLASH. I have created several swf, several are videos. I want to insert them into an fla and have them play automatically then loop.
I tried just moving the swf from my library to the work area, but the swf aren't playing correctly.
I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

View 0 RepliesDoes anyone know the theory behind using javascript to insert your SWF files into the XHTML page, rather then the ("Insert.., Media.., SWF) way.
Is this a better way of doing it? whats the difference?

I've just used the accordion component in flash to successfully load some external data into it.For the purpose I want to use it, the accordion is a good option.However, as you keep adding more and more elements into it (and, presumably, there will eventually be lots of them in this project), the headers start to take up more and more space, up to the point that you can't see the content.So yes, I made it so that the accordion adjusts its size depending on the number of elements it needs to display each time. And that works fine.BUT... then, there's a point where the accordion is just too big for the stage... so it doesn't fit, and you can't see part of it.I thought it would be possible to insert the accordion inside a ScrollPane, but I can't make it work.
The first step would be to put the accordion component inside a new MC. But when I do that and test the movie, I get a very weird behaviour of the component. It loads the content, but at first only half of the component shows up. Then when you click some items, they don't display properly and do weird things.Still, I went forward and tried to put that MC inside a scrollPane (gave the MC a linkage name, etc.), but still the scrollPane seems to display a "blank" accordion inside it, not the one with the content.Is it possible at all to get a working accordion inside a ScrollPane? If not, can you think of any other way to make the accordion component "scrollable" so that it can have whatever size is needed, and still be usable?
what is it called when you insert text from a variable in actionscript?
View 1 RepliesI am making a Layer contains 312 Key Frames that is made of 312 gif images (each image contains a specific detail for my movie).what I have done;
-I have made a Keyframe in Frame 1 (imported Det1.gif to stage)
-then Selected Frames 2 to 312 and pressed F6 (Made 312 Key Frames that they all contains Det1.gif)
-Now I am one by one, going to different frames and cicking on Det1.gif image, and click SwapImage.
Now that I am talking to you, I have Swaped 50 of them, But still I have a long way infront of me to go before I finish those 312 SWAP images one by one.
I have a template and I need to replace the images, and then to add the big size image and to make a link between them.
