I am trying to build a portfolio application similar to the used by Whitevoid. I am using Flex 4 and Papervision3D 2. I have everything working except for one issue. When I try to load an external SWF as a material on one of the planes, I can see any native Flex or Flash components in their correct positions, but the papervision objects are not being rendered properly. It looks like the viewport is not being set in the nested swf. I have posted my code for loading the swf below.
private function loadMovie(path:String=""):void
{
loader = new Loader();
request = new URLRequest(path);
[Code]....
Below I have posted two pictures. The first is a shot of the application running by itself. The second is the application as a MovieMaterial on a Plane. You can see how the button created as a spark object in the mxml stays in the correct position, but papervision sphere (which is rotating) is in the wrong location.
I've been given a Flash tutorial to post to the corporate website that is an .exe file with an embedded Flash player. Users will be on IE, so I guess they would get the run/save prompt. I don't like this and I know it generally isn't done, but I need to know if it is OK to just do it. When I try to explain the security issues with executable files, eyes glaze. Is it possible that the users' system admins would be able to block the run prompt and make the user save the file? Could they block that too? The user community is hopeless, so having the embedded Flash player could be a good thing.
View 1 RepliesI have a little problem with a simple URLLoader,it simply just loads the data from an url, and processes that data, nothing complicated. But, when ever i run it, it leaves the connection open. At the bottom of the browser it says:
Transfering Data From www....
The data is read sucessfully, so it should close the connection? but doesnt seem to want to do it. Is there anyway to close all open connections, or somehow remove such message?
I have page in my asp.net mvc website with a flash app on it, and the user can stay on that page for hours, but his auth cookie/session is going to expire, so I'm thinking to create a PingController and to call it using jquery $.post each 20 minutes.
View 2 RepliesI am designing a website with flash video content. If I pass in the URL to a .flv file as a flash parameter to the embedded video player someone can easily extract the URL and download the flv video file. How to do I prevent this? Can someone refer me to anti-leeching techniques being used my websites like youtube.

working with a AS3 flash movie button linking to an html form
I have a client that wants to keep the browser session going when it comes to a form being filled out and to pre-fill this data where necessary so basically for Flash to check the user URL and see if there are session keys attached to the URL..
I need Flash to look at the incoming URL which may already have keys attached such as 'uVB2GC1F/xGG3QX1F' and use them by adding them to a button link. These keys will be different every time for each session.
I'm using the the Adobe ActionScript 3 SDK for Facebook Platform to get all the tagged photos of the current user. Is this possible?
I've tried this:
FacebookDesktop.api("/"+uid+"/photos",getTagedPhotosHandler);
But that only gets me the photos belonging to that user.
Does anybody use bare .SWF files as webpages? I know it's possible; it seems to work fine for me. Why would I embed a SWF inside an HTML page if it's just going to be full screen (I mean the size of the browser's normal viewable page area, not COMPLETELY fullscreen)?
Is there a lack of browser support? Or is this functionality determined by the browser's Flash plugin?
I want to have a web site which switches the web camera of users, makes a video recording and send results to my web server.Is it possible to do that? I think it should be. For example such sites as chatroulette.com starts web camera. Should it be done with the Adobe Flash technologies? Is it hard to do that?
View 1 RepliesIf I load a web page full of other files, e.g. images, my browser doesn't load them all at once.I seem to remember reading that IE will only have at most 3 requests open at a time for a page. The rest will be queued.If I have a flash movie on the page which is continually making image requests, how does this affect the maximum number of downloading files in the browser?
Is this browser limit accurate, and is it generally the same across browsers? Does flash share the requests of the browser? If not, does flash have a limit and what is that limit?
For some background, I do have a flash movie that is continually loading files so there is a queue of Loaders waiting to make requests.My idea was that if there was a different request that I needed to be executed straight away I could make it jump the queue by making a javascript call and allowing the browser to make the request instead.
What would be the better approach for using the Sockets in AS3.
1st) open one connection and keep it alive until the site unloads?
2nd) open a connection, use it, and close it when done; then, open again when I need?
Considering a scenario where some users will make a constant use of the Socket, but others will almost not use it, what would be the better approach? Does an alive Socket connection use too much bandwidth? Does the action of connecting consumes more than keeping it alive?
My flex application generates individual pdf documents based on individual selection criterion,but i need to merge those generated pdfs or is it possible to store individual pdfs temporarily then merge those into single pdf?
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to directly print using alive pdf (by passing the step where it saves the datagrid in pdf). Right now I am using Alive Pdf for generating PDF from datagrid and its doing a great job. Since flex printing by itself sucks I was wondering if I could directly print using Alive PDF?
View 1 RepliesWe need different parameters to play live/playback:
// play live from server //ns.play("test",-1,-1,true); //playback //ns.play("test",0);
So how to wrap it all up so that it'll automatically detect whether the stream to play is alive,and use the proper parameters ?
Any standard way to keep alive the http session as long user has open the flex app in the browser? I played around with the polling mechanism of blazeds. But it had no affect on the http session.
View 3 RepliesI see this type of apparent magic in all sorts of AS3 code, but here is a reduced example:
[Code]...
As indicated in the code comment, the loader variable should fall out of scope after the URLLoaderExample constructor. However... it still seems to be kept alive (not garbage collected) somewhere since the onComplete listener/handler is able to receive it cleanly. Where is the magic/hidden/global reference to loader that keeps it alive so that it can complete it's load operation, and then be handed to the onComplete listener/callback? Can this reference be seen somewhere?
To help with context... as a similar example, I know that the loader instance will have the onComplete listener registered. I also know I need to be careful to use removeEventListener at all times (?) to avoid potential memory leaks resulting from stranded listeners. What concerns me is that I don't understand where the magic loader reference is and whether (or when) I need to clean that up.
I have an SWF loading in an SWF containing a papervision scene.I've done it before yet problem is, I get an error - I'm not sure what the issue really is.[code]
View 3 Repliesi created a 3d model using sketchup and exported it as a DAE file.
then i try to import the model into papervision, but the model never appear.
when i use the DAE file provided in the examples, it works. only when i tried to create my own models, it doesn't work. does this have anything to do with sketchup?
now i need to add a health bar and countdown timer on the screen. how am i going to do it? adding a plane in the 3d scene? the health bar is always on the top right corner of the screen. is there anyway of NOT using 3d concept to implement this. i mean i could do it with a plane keep changing it's texture to show the status of the character. is there any cleaner way of doing it?
View 1 Repliesthere's a simple thing in papervision I can't do , I want to have a simple button on my swf like we have in flash , just a 2d square which is on screen and you can click on it and have some action
View 1 RepliesI keep trying to get started with Papervision, but I must be entering the classpath incorrectly as I keep getting errors that the compiler cannot find the classes.Is there some kind of bug with setting the classpath on a mac?I checked out the papervision stuff so it sits in:
/Applications/Adobe Flash CS 5/Papervision/as3/trunk/src/
Inside the src folder is a folder called "org", which contains "papervision3d" and the folders of classes.To set the classpath, I've gone to Preferences, chosen ActionScript, clicked on the ActionScript 3.0 button at the bottom, clicked the plus sign, and then clicked on the little folder button to add a path to the Library box (the middle box). I browsed and selected:
/Applications/Adobe Flash CS 5/Papervision/as3/trunk/src/
I thought at this point (after quitting and restarting Flash) that if I created a class file that had, for example,
import org.papervision3d.cameras.*
that it would work -- but it doesn't. It only works if I save the .fla and .as files themselves in /Applications/Adobe Flash CS 5/Papervision/as3/trunk/src/, in the same folder as the "org" folder. And I guess this means that the path in the Preferences setting is useless.
How do I get the 2D screen coordinates of a 3D object when using Papervision 2.0 (Great White)? I've read that following properties should return the screen coords but these always return 0.

I'm using BasicView to setup my PV3D scene, and the scene itself works fine (3d carousel of movie posters) but the InteractiveScene3DEvent is not firing when a poster is clicked or moused over. I set my viewport to interactive... twice.
view = new BasicView(stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight,true,true);
view.viewport.buttonMode = true;
view.viewport.interactive = true;
And here is the part of the loop where it the event listener is added.
var mm:filmsPoster = new filmsPoster();
mm.loadIMG(image);
var mat:MovieMaterial = new MovieMaterial(mm);
mat.interactive = true;
mat.animated = true;
mat.smooth = true;
mat.doubleSided = true;
mat.name = filmName;
mat.addEventListener(InteractiveScene3DEvent.OBJECT_CLICK, posterClick);
I need to convert a CAD drawing of a product into a form that is usable by Papervision3D (or an equivalent 3D engine) in the Flash Player.
Are there any tools that do this? I understand that the Collada DAE format is supported in Papervision3D, but I don't know what steps/tools are involved (export directly from AutoCAD?).
I'm new to papervision 3d and I created two display objects in basic view.
Here's a part of the code :
...
_stick = new Cube(materials, 50, 5, 500);
_ball = new Sphere(new ColorMaterial(0xfc0000), 80);
In the onRenderTick method, I tried to check whether two objects are hitted
[Code]...
However, stick.hitTestObject always returns false even if the stick really hits the ball as I see in the flash.
