View 5 RepliesI have followed the tutorial on creating a live page counter in flash and somehow run into a problem to which i don't seem to be finding the solution. Perhaps someone here might be able to offer his/her generous help in solving this issue. Problem: The page counter works just fine the first time i load the page. After doing a refresh using the Ctrl & F5 key or just by clicking on the refresh button in my browser the count keeps going up (which as far as i understood from the tutorial is not supposed to happen).
When i do the same kind of refresh on the tutorial page the count stays unchanged though! I also downloaded the finished fla file but for some reason or other flash MX doesn't let me open it, giving me the error: "unexpected file format". Here is my code of the php file that i wrote for the counter.

i am wondering if it is possible, and if someone would be so kind to help me code a scene where two thumbnails, side by side, are flipped up and down, and back up, each time revealing a new random image culled from a feed such as a flickr feed (or any others available, is there a random google image search feed that i dont know about?).if this is possible, i would need assistance in coding the script so that the flash movie is dynamic and pulls image data in real time from the feed, displays it within the two thumbnail cells, and for added headache pain, i would hope to also learn how to code a random image to be selected based on a visitors date/time stamp.i am a graphic designer with rudimentary knowledge of action script 2.0 (yikes!) so please, go slowly / explain yourself. i have searched the forum, but i cannot find any previous threads that combine the random image generator idea with a live feed (unless if i missed it, please point it out to me if you can find such threads).
View 1 RepliesI am building a menu that is to run on a mobile device.. the menu is populated with data from a live xml feed. and then suppose to be both dragable and "throwable" - meaning if you swipe up or down fast is scrolls with a little velocity physics slowing down over time. I wanted this menu to use as little processor power as possible so I am using scrollRect along with all my menu items being set to
cachAsBitmap= true;
Its working for the most part except once it stops scrolling and the user mouse downs on it again to start dragging, it tends to jump up or down like 20-100 pixels.
ActionScript Code:
menu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, menuDrag);
menu.scrollRect = new Rectangle(0,0,stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, menuStopDrag);
function menuDrag(e:MouseEvent):void{
isDragging = true;

View 1 RepliesI'm new on FMS, but I've managed to create a web page with an embedded player that shows a live stream that I capture with a webcam and FMS. What I need is to be able to pause the live stream from the web page player and to play it again from the point I've paused it. I thought to stream a live video and save it to a file on the server as well, but I don't know how to tell the player to start from the end of the file rather than the begining of it. The client should connect to the page and see the live stream, but he can pause it and continue watching it later from that point, but if a different client connects, he should see the live stream.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to tell if a certain key is being held down around the startup of my AIR (desktop) application, and I'd like to tell if a specific key (ALT in this case) is being held down. Unfortunately, flex seems to be so event based that there is no way poll the keyboard directly. Can anyone verify this?
I know that it's possible to take the keyboard events and keep track manually. However, this won't work if the user presses the key right before startup, so it isn't a solution for my specific problem.
I am currently looking for a tutorial that will explain how to build a flash poll. This is for a website I�m working on. However, the server is not PHP friendly. Thus, I am looking for a Flash poll ASP tutorial.

View 2 RepliesI'm attempting to connect to an existing Comet-style long-poll service using an AIR app. The service expects a client to make a GET request with a Connection: Keep-Alive header. This request will remain open for long periods of time so that the server can push data through. In my app, the connection is terminated with an IOError after 30 seconds.
Is this an undocumented limitation of URLStream? A restriction on adl (I've only been running my app through adl)?
The server does not send any "keep-alive" messages to the client but, unfortunately this is not something i have control over.
Update
To test this, I've set up a stripped-down version using a little php script (linked by leggetter below) and am hitting it from a simple AIR app. I'm finding that my connections are closed after 30 seconds whether I use URLStream or URLLoader. the PHP:
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
sleep(40);
[Code]....
If i adjust the initial sleep time in the php script to anything over 30 seconds, the IOError event is triggered. If I lower the sleep time, but the request continues adding data past 30 seconds, the onComplete event is called, but _urlLoader.data is empty.
The only way this process completely successfully is if the entire thing is over before 30 seconds elapses.
I have a flex application that repeatedly polls a remote XML file to detect changes, but I've found that once the file hits a certain size, the poll blocks the UI and makes the page unresponsive for a short time.
Is there any way to ensure that the call made to the server or the event from the flash.utils.Timer class runs asynchronously to the main UI thread?
I've been using Flash for a while now but have just started using Flash Combined with XML. I'm trying to make a poll system in flash which grabs data from a PHP generated xml file. This is the contents of the xml file at the moment.

View 9 RepliesBasically I have a sales presentation showing on a screen in various offices where I work. These show daily sales figures that can change as and when somebody makes a sale.

I'd like to make it so that if the file changes it automatically reflects in the swf.

There seems to be very little information on developing a custom component with live preview.So far i've created a swf whose application class extends UIComponent.I've also created a custom component.Then I've added the Live Preview field in the custom component's Component Definition.What I would like to do now is reposition elements within the preview swf when the user resizes the component.
To do this i need to know two things - 1 what event to listen for when the user resizes the component, and 2 the current dimensions of the resized component.
1. My only success was that ComponentEvent.SHOW seems to dispatch when the user resizes the component. (i had no luck with any of the RESIZE events - Event.RESIZE etc)
2. However the width/height properties don't seem to change on resize, they stay at the original dimensions of the component.
Is it possible to implement a live dvr player that you could record video for say a day, then on the client return to a certain time?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way once a flash site is live, that my client can change the text or even the images? Even if it's by uploading to the server? If perhaps they were all predetermined in size ect.? Similar to how HTML calls images from a folder located on the server. I'm guessing something to do with PHP? Touching upon this briefly so understand flash uses PHP to communcate outside of the swf file to complete certain tasks.
