Flex :: URL Encoding When Downloading A File In Flash?
Aug 25, 2010I have a flash app that needs to download a file, whose name contains UTF-8 characters.
Internally, the filename is read from a UTF-8 XML file, e.g. "my filé.pdf". The code goes something like this:
url = get_filename_from_XML();
req = new URLRequest( url );
ref = new FileReference();
ref.download( req );
The problem is that the URL is encoded in Latin1, i.e. the é is encoded as %E9 instead of %C3%A9 (according to FireBug). How can I get Flash to encode the URL correctly?

View 2 RepliesProfessional :: Encoding For FLV Results In 10x Larger File CS5 Vs CS4
Oct 1, 2010I've recently upgraded to CS5 and the Media Encoder creates incredibly HUGE files compared to the CS4 media encoder.
For example, I can convert a 15MB mpg file to a 12 MB flv file in CS4 using the preset "FLV same as source"
I do not find a matching preset in CS5, but tried "FLV - match source atributes (medium quality)" Encoding the same file in CS5 with this preset results in 170MB file.
I've tried adjusting the settings, comparing the options in both versions, and I still can't get a reasonably sized file out of the CS5 media encoder.
This seems really broken to me. A 170 MB file is not useful in any way. Do I have bad presets?
Adobe Media Encoder version is 5.0.1.0 (32-bit)

View 1 RepliesFlex :: Encoding For RTF Text - Does One Exist
Nov 2, 2011I'm wondering if there is an encoding like UTF8/16 that can account for characters that are bold, italic, underlined, and super/sub-scripted? If not, is it under consideration by the powers that be? Reason for the question is that I have a large excel file where many cells contain rtf text such as italics, bold, superscript; and I need to access the information on a row-by-row basis. I know I can save the file in html or xml, but I would like to import the data into MySQL - keeping the formatting - and then being able to access the data a row at a time.
I've considered using Markdown or Textile, but that means a whole lot of time changing each cell - we're talking about 5,000 records. Also, I want to continue to use Flex and I'm not sure if Flex can display html formatted text in their text controls because of their their text engine...
Flex :: Encoding Key Strokes As Bits In Uint
May 9, 2011I am trying to encode certain values that I receive from keyboard event. Basically I want to check if a certain key combination has been pressed or not, so for that I am converting the key codes into sequence/pattern and store it in an object and a value(function) against each code sequence. Now I have to use four bytes and in first byte(MSB) I've to store shift, alt, ctrl respectively and in the last(LSB) I have to store the keycode of the key pressed.
Here is the code:
private function m_encodeValue(key:String, Ctrl:Boolean = true, Alt:Boolean = true, Shift:Boolean = false):uint {
var encodedValue:uint;
encodedValue = uint(Shift) << 2 | uint(Alt) << 1 | uint(Ctrl);
encodedValue = encodedValue | (uint(key.toUpperCase().charCodeAt(0)) << 24);
return encodedValue;
}
Flex :: URL Encoding - Posting Data On Server
May 27, 2009I want to post data to a URL on my server from a Flex app. I am using the following
UrlParam = UrlParam + '&name='+ name.text + '&business=' + buisness.text; navigateToURL(new URLRequest(UrlParams),'_self');
The problem I am having however is that if I enter a business with an ampersand ("A&b.com") then the name does not send. Does Flex have anything out of the box to do the encoding from & to %26?
Flex :: AS3 Video Encoding At Runtime With High Compression
Sep 15, 2010I need to compress video image data (lets say a display object) in AS3 to a Byte Array with high compression at runtime. Framerate only needs to be around 5 but 1024x768 video needs to go to < 40 Kilobyte per Second without the quality being too bad. I wrote a custom encoder and got it to around 80-100 Kilobyte per Second for 1024*768 which still is too much and I don't see a lot of improvements to be mad to my encoder.
Using JPG or PNG Encoder gives way higher KB/s. Is there any open source way to to decode and encode video in as3 at runtime ? E.g. a H.264 as3 encoder and decoder ? Or other codecs? Or maybe a C# source code of h.264 encoder and decoder ? I think I could port it to as3. Doesnt need to be h.264, just something with good quality when running at 5 Frames/Sec and 40 Kilobyte...
Actionscript :: Flex Embedded String Resource Encoding
Sep 26, 2011I embed a text file into my Flex project and read its contents using code like this:[code]The contents of the file is abc. The problem is that the string loaded from the file is not comparable to other strings even though when printed or viewed in the debugger (in FlashDevelop) it seems to be perfectly fine.[code]How do I convert it into a proper string? I tried to use the string methods such as substring to create a copy, but that does not seem to be the solution.
View 1 RepliesFlash :: Detect File Existence In It Using As2?
Feb 26, 2010I need to check for file existence in Flash on x number of videos. I've tried LoadVars and MovieClipLoader. LoadVars works but it actually loaded the entire video before reporting its done. Without a way of knowing that its started, I can't delete it before its done. I don't what to load the entire video, i just want to check that its there. MovieClipLoader has onLoadError and onLoadStart, which works because I can unload the MovieClip right after its starts loading and know its there and if there's a load error I know it's not there. Should work, but I need to run that x number of times to check for the other videos.

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Flash / SWF File To Detect URL Browser Is Currently On
Jul 31, 2009I'm mostly an art/design oriented person but am trying to learn some new things. I'm currently working on a test site for myself as a self-learning piece that will be a CSS laid out site with some Flash elements. Anyway, I'm completely stuck on this current problem..I will be placing a SWF file that will live on each page but will need to do different things based on which page the browser currently is on. It's nothing complex...will probably be something as simple as "on enter frame, if the browser is on this page 'http:www...', then jump to frame '#' ". This is how I'm placing the SWF file through the CSS.[code]
I read that "FlashVars" was the start of how to do this but as you can see in that last line, that's as far as I got on the CSS side. I have ZERO clue how to make the SWF file detect that value or detect the page the browser is on and then do something with AS3. Does this all make sense? I've searched through books and online for a little over 6 hours today and have not been able to figure this part out. Is it a simple line of code I need in the flash file or am I embarking on more than I can handle at this stage?

Encoding Flash From Wmv Crashing
Apr 23, 2008I've been using Flash Video Encoder for quite a while now and never had a problem encoding flash from wmv. But in the last week suddenly encoding crashes on ever attempt.

I've also tried on 3 different computers, that have all had success in the past.
View 6 RepliesXml :: Character Encoding In Flash?
Mar 31, 2011I have some German content which contains an umlaut (ü). This content is being built into an XML file. I then have a flash file which uses the xml to build a coverflow. My problem is that the 'ü' character is not being displayed in the coverflow. I've made sure the xml is encoded correctly, as you can see from the snippet below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<artworkinfo>
<albuminfo>
[code]....
As you can see, the umlaut is in the albumName element, but when that text displays it simply misses out the 'ü'. I've added a bunch of encoding groups to the text element in the coverflow file, as well as specifically adding the 'ü' in the 'Include these characters' element. I'm stuck for how to get this to display.
Flash :: Can Flex Application Detect It's Own URL

If so, can you point me in the right direction of which ActionScript command I might google for more info?

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: URL Encoding Within Flash And Passing Variable
Oct 14, 2010I am trying to send a twitter update when I press a button in flash. I get the twitter page to open from the flash file but when it passes the variables, it is passing it as the following into the browser address bar [URL] and on the twitter page text box it shows [URL]. The browser is rendering the percent sign and the number 20 as actual text and not as the space that I need it to.
Here is my code
function onTwitterButtonClick(evt:MouseEvent):void{
trace("Twitter button clicked");
var twitterShareURLPart1:String = "[URL]"
var shareUrl:String = "[URL]"+youtubeVidID;
var twitterShareURLPart2:String = "&text="

navigateToURL(gotoURL,"_blank");
trace(twitterShareURLPart1 + shareUrl + twitterShareURLPart2 + escapedText1);

View 1 RepliesJavascript :: Detect If An Embedded Swf Is Created With Flex Or Flash?
Apr 15, 2011Is there a way (in javascript) to detect if an embedded .swf was created with Flash Professional or Flex.We have a page with several tabs, each of which can contain an .swf.All tabs are defined within the same HTML file and the javascript framework calls a .rewind() and .play() on the swf when the containing tab becomes active.This works great on regular flash animation, making sure they start playing from the beginning when the tab is opened. On an swf created with Flex however, the rewind and play wreak havoc on the Flex framework and the application doesn't load.
The best way we've come up with to detect Flex is to count the number of frames the .swf has. With flex that's always 2. But this doesn't sound like the best way.We've also tried to add a callback method with ExternalInterface on the Flex application preinitialize event.Unfortunately this event is called quite late in the application startup and the javasctipt code checks the callback before the Flex code has added it.
