Does anyone know of a DAM (Digital Asset Management) solution, preferably ASP.net that can handle storage of both common movie types and flash movies?
View 2 RepliesI'm looking for javascript libraries and code that can simulate localStorage on browsers that do not have native support.Basically, I'd like to code my site using localStorage to store data and know that it will still work on browsers that don't natively support it. This would mean a library would detect if window.localStorage exists and use it if it does. If it doesn't exist, then it would create some sort of fallback method of local storage, by creating its own implementation in the window.localStorage namespace.I understand that Flash and Silverlight can be used for local storage as well, but haven't found anything on using them as a fallback for standard HTML5 localStorage. Perhaps Google Gears has this capability too?Please share any related libraries, resources, or code snippets that you've found! I'd be especially interested in pure javascript or jquery-based solutions, but am guessing that is unlikely.
View 8 RepliesA gentleman doing the sound track for the video I want to do on Flash has asked me what audio files Flash will handle? I have looked at Adobe and Macromedia and many other Flash websites and, of course, Flash itself, and cannot find any enumeration of what video files Flash handles, much less any mention of what audio files.
View 4 RepliesI have to produce a generic API that provides game tracking functions (track what was clicked, track if a certain event occurred, etc). This generic API needs to wire into one of two (or more) bespoke tracking solutions provided by third parties (e.g. itracku.com and itrackutoo.com) in the background.The bespoke tracking solutions sport similar functions (trackClick, trackEvent), but vary dramatically in the number of arguments they require (e.g. one requires 1 argument to be passed, the other 6).In order for the generic API to easily switch between hitting either bespoke solution, am I right in assuming that ALL arguments need to be scoped out beforehand in order to facilitate switching tracking solutions? The desire is to NOT have to recomplie .swfs in order to switch tracking solution (i.e. it's switched via an XML config). I was thinking of achieving this by having my generic API functions accept a single object as an argument, e.g.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to find a reliable yet cost-effective solution for hosting our small collection of .f4v videos. We're a small company so price is a major consideration. We also need the video to stream.I found Vimeo and it's cheap but they don't provide streaming.
Viddler looks like a good solution. It's is a little more expensive but streaming is available.We're trying to avoid enterprise solutions such as Akamai, etc.Any others out there?I also know about Red5 but prefer to have it hosted.
My company has a variety of sales sheets, business cards, and other document templates that we currently manually customize for each of our sales team members. We need a way for a member of our sales force to be able to pull one of these documents up securely online, and type their name and information into specially created boxes that remain stationary, and then can be printed on their computer; or saved to a pdf to be sent to our printer for professional printing/cutting.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a scrollbar gallery from a tutorial on this site. Though I've completed the tutorial, and customised the gallery to my own needs, however I'm trying to make a very small change to it - and no matter what I do, keep running into problems. I'm trying to replace the rectangular handle with my own customised handle - a (20 x 20) 'circular' png image that I've imported into Flash, made a graphic and stored in the library (though I understand it can be imported using actionscript, like the other images in the gallery).

View 8 RepliesA few years ago I was up-skilling form AS2 to AS3. In the process I could have sworn I came across a resource that was all about using SQL and Flash AS3 together. It looked like native AS3 SQL communication.I remember thinking "That's cool, will use that one day" and then putting the book down. Well it is now one day and I need to remotely read and update data from a Flash file. The thing is I can't for the life of me remember where I saw it.Searching online has been a bit discouraging. All I can find is a lot of people saying there is no native Flash AS to SQL communication. Was I dreaming, or are all the posts I'm finding old and referring to AS2?If this is the case, is there a way to save shared objects or XML files to a remote server? Or is my only option calling php files from Flash?
View 2 RepliesI would like to add local storage to an existing Flash webapp that up until now uses a web server to store data (database and media files). What are my options? I'd like to reuse the code of the Flash webapp and run it inside a browser if possible (which, if I'm not mistaken, is not possible with Adobe AIR).
View 1 RepliesPresently I'm building an interactive CD-ROM based presentation for stand alone individual machines. I'm using AutoPlay Media Studio 7 to package a flash movie along with a licensed adobe reader and adobe flash player. One of the buttons on the autoplay package will install and create folders and files on a local machine.
I've uploaded a file for you flash gurus out there to look at, it may help to examplify what I'm trying to achieve. What I'd like to do, is to be able to use a file (perhaps XML?) that the flash movie can reference and make changes to. If this is possible then such file would be included in the AutoPlay package (see background info above) and installed on the local machine.Security is an extremely low key issue here and the username password is simply a means for flash to lookup and recognise an existing user (if there is one) and set the states of some variables.
Why? - The project is like an interactive training manual with questions and animated examples split into 8 modules. I would like to be able to provide users a means with the of not having to review previous modules by logging in at the login frame.
Code:
Assigned to 'signInUser' button
on (release) {
if (user_name == storedUserName) {
if (pass_word == storedPassword) {

I'm having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to.An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found here: [URL]
I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable.As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
Scrollbar code:
Code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;

View 4 RepliesWhen running a flash application that I run locally i.e., I get to it from a browser but with a file path
file:///C:/Projects/test/bin-debug/Main.html#
Now, most of the time the shared objects are stored in
%APPDATA%MacromediaFlash Player#SharedObjectsXXXX#localWithNet
But occasionally, it reverts and thinks this application is running on localhost
%APPDATA%MacromediaFlash Player#SharedObjectsXXXXlocalhost
Which means all previous saved settings are gone.
How flash decides if the application is infact localhost or localWithNet (local with Network access). Rebooting can sometimes make it revert, but I've also had it stay localhost for a few days then revert.

Consider the following function:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:int, bar2:uint, bar3:String, bar4:Boolean):void{}
What I want is to have the different types of data represented by custom named types which are essentially representing the original data types. I other word, I would like to proxy the data types and have a valid function as following:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:PAR_Bar1, bar2:PAR_Bar2, bar3:PAR_Bar3, bar4:PAR_Bar4):void{}
so PAR_Bar1 would proxy the `int` data type, PAR_Bar2 would proxy the `uint` data type, so on and so forth.
The reason I need this is because I'm using a debugger with a GUI that can run methods and allows changing function parameter values in real-time, the issue is that the debugger can't tell me what parameter I'm changing, it only displays the data type of a parameter. So if I need to change 10 different parameters all of type int, the debuggers display all of them as int and not by their names.
I think that if I use proxy types I can easily differentiate between parameters.
So, my question: Is it possible to proxy data types? I mean map specific data types to custom data types that would represent the base data types?

View 3 RepliesI would like to add a very small and simple Flash audio player to my website. I have found lots of Flash MP3 players, but I can't seem to find players that will work with other types of audio files, such as aac/m4a/mp4.
I had previously been using Windows Media Server to stream WMA files on my site, but this only works for Windows users, and I need streaming to work for Mac users as well. So I think Flash is the way to go, but I cannot use mp3's because of licensing concerns.
I've been looking and looking for a flash player that supports other audio types, but can't find one. Is it true that flash has a native class for mp3, but doesn't have built-in support for others?
If I have a swf file, is it possible to retrieve object names and types (some kind of reflection) somehow?

It seems that if that directory is there from a previous install, the installer will ignore the part where it moves included files.
