im trying to make icons for wlm (windows live messenger) in flash with 2 frames and the quality come out crummy when im saving the animated gif this is the original icon which is good quality:[URL]..
and this is what came out to me when i tried to make the animated gif while i did it strict saved it first as bmp so it will not lose quality[URL].. and finally saved it as animated gif and picked 256 colors which is max for gif how is that come? i asked someone and he told me that in flash the animation comes out very ugly and i should use software called "GIF Construction Set Pro" or something like this is that right? there is no other way to increase the quality or something in flash?
As you all know you can directly connect to Skype's API from flash to check if a user is Online/Away/Offline etc.
View 1 RepliesI am passing to the source property of a VideoDisplay component a DynamicStreamingVideoSource object with 3 different dynamic live stream items, described by this XML, for your consideration:
src="rtmp://88.87.56.214:1935/live/fashiontv_tmo_h.stream" bitrate="19200"
src="rtmp://88.87.56.214:1935/live/fashiontv_tmo_m.stream" bitrate="9000"
src="rtmp://88.87.56.214:1935/live/fashiontv_tmo_l.stream" bitrate="3600"
But the player then runs the stream with the lowest bitrate, out of those 3. Wasn't it supposed to go for the stream with the highest bitrate, that is viewable by the end-user? All 3 streams have been individually tested and they are all viewable.

View 1 RepliesI'm having an issue with the PDF displaying outside the viewable area of the mx:HTML control in Flex. When the application starts up - the mx:HTML is set to a certain size, but can be enlarged if the application is maximized. These are the following conditions to replicate it: Issue only happens in Windows (Windows 7, not on Mac) Issue only happens with Reader X installed (not with previous versions) Issue only happens when running the built app, does not happen in debug / development mode from FlashBuilder

I'm running ant to compile a Flex application, and the build keeps failing when running it on a windows command line. Other people in my team can successfully run the very same build under mac and linux. This is the error shown in the command prompt:
[Code]...
All tokens are set in corresponding build.properties and filter .properties files (and, as I said before, it compiles perfectly under mac and linux). The windows version is 7 Ultimate, FLEX_HOME is set as an environment variable to the Flex SDK 3.5 (the 3.5.0.12683 build that comes with Adobe Flash Builder Burrito). ${compiler.fork} is set to false, to avoid an issue with the SDK and the source files being in different logic drives.
I'm using Flex in Flash Player 10 on Windows, using FileReference to load a file into memory, as below.My issue is that when a file is locked by Windows, my FileReference is not giving me any feedback that the file is inaccessible--it simply never dispatches any events after my calling load().Does anyone have insight into how to tell that Flash Player is unable to open the file?
var fileReference:FileReference = new FileReference();
private function onClick():void {
fileReference = new FileReference();
fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onSelect);

View 1 RepliesI have a mp4 file which is to be used in an application. Currently i am in the stage of figuring out the technology to be used for this job. I am familiar with flex and am hoping that i be able to use it for the application. But i can not figure out a way to play the file in flex. I have been able to play the file only in windows media player and that required the installation of three codecs : Mp4Audio.ax, Mp4Video.ax, Mp4Src.ax.
As i see it, it will be very convenient if i could embed a windows media player plugin in flex or i could specify the audio and video codecs in the flash player
I have a flex application (.swf) and want to create a projector file. When I choose File-> create projector I get the .app file because I work on a Mac. I know I can create both projector formats for windows and mac using the export feature in Flash Professional. But this is not an option since it's Flex.Is there any other way rather than switching to windows to create the file?

View 1 RepliesI'd like to write my own messenger with the use of Flash, but as I've up to now only created either simple games or static website elements, my knowledge in the topic is rather poor.So, to the point - I understand that I need 3 key elements to have all of this working - a client software that I intend to write in Flash CS3, some database to hold the necessary information, and something acting as a server to mediate between the two.I have up to now browsed through the internet and looked for possible solutions to the concept, I've also asked on other forums, but with no major luck up to now.All my hope is in kirupa now (which I visit from time to time since Flash MX appeared on the surface of our planet ).The problem is that I have no idea what would be best for the middle tier in this messenger concept. I've come across tons of possible applications that I perhaps could use, but am not sure as all of this is totally new for me, yet I would like to start off with getting quickly stuck because what I wanted to do first was just impossible.
For communication between Flash written apps and some server side apps I see that there are XMLSockets (yet this seems to be a very old approach and I'm guessing there is something better these days) and that there is Flash Remoting ( also around for a couple of years, but I see that there is AMFPHP which perhaps is what I need - again, perhaps, as I won't be sure till somebody confirms that or I check myself ).Then there's a bunch of things Adobe offers - Coldfusion 8 (free Developer Edition), Flash Media Server 3 (free and with a limit of up to 10 connections, but that's ok in my case).Then there's Flex SDK and Adobe AIR, which I'm not even sure if can in anyway help me out, as I've just read a bit on what those are actually and I also found Red5.Well, to sum up, all this has made me more confused than actually helped. I'm not quite sure now where to start with - tho it seems logical to first set up a server and then start to write the client and test some simple communication routines ... and the problem with browsing new technologies is that in this case I really need to know their limitations, so to not end up being stuck after say 3 months, but we all know limitations are only known to the experienced.If anybody can clear up the world of flash related technologies that I've just mentioned, or even suggest what would be the best course of action here - I'd be really very grateful. All of this is purely educational of course, hence why I'm looking for free technologies.
Beside Flash Media Encoder, can I use a live stream from Windows Media Services?We have live streaming with Windows Media Server, but now want also offer to mobile devices, but we dont re-encode the entire streams (tvs) again, it would be great if we can use a stream from windows to tunnel it to flash media server.

View 2 RepliesThere 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.

View 1 RepliesI've created a class in AS3 which I've linked to a component in Flash CS5 and exported as a SWC. That SWC is then loaded into my main flash file and used inside some movieclips. The issue is that I want some code in the class to be used when using the component in Flash CS5 (for previewing purposes) and some code to only be used when running the main swf. Is there any way to detect when the class is being used in Flash CS5 vs being used when running the swf?

we're having a strange problem on a project here. When we use NetConnection in combination with a NetGroup to initiate communication between two local AIR applications on Windows XP, they always both connect to the NetGroup succesfully and detect each other as neighbors. However, on Windows 7 both applications connect succesfully to the NetConnection and NetGroup both don't detect each other as neighbors.To reproduce this problem, here are two AIR applications:[code]
These applications can connect and send message to each other without a problem on Windows XP. On Windows 7 however, they cannot.Does anyone know why this wouldn't work on Windows 7 and what steps can be taken to make it work? It's critical to our project that this works.In some cases, the applications take quite a long time to detect each other as neighbors (up to 15 seconds in some cases), in other cases they detect each other immediately. Does anyone know what could cause this delay?
I'm having a problem with component live previews. If I just create a movie clip and set the live preview, all instances of the clip i put on stage update separatly from each other (their live preview that is). As soon as I change the clip to a component (export .swc or compiled clip) all the instances update together. eg if i set the component parameter 'title' - all titles of the all the instances on the stage will change. This didn't happen when it was just a movieclip - all instances changed separatly as i set them.

View 13 RepliesIn order to play a FMS stream (live or on demand), either an FLVPlayback component or the Video class is needed.And they require ActionScript 3 and Flash 8 or above.
As far as i know , Youtube, Dailymotion and Google Video stream their on demand videos from a FMS, and their players are compatible with Flash 7.
How can they achieve this? If Youtube, Google and Dailymotion do that, i deduce it's possible..
I tried to create a Flash 7 application that plays a video coming from FMS, using a MediaDisplay component, but it doesn't work well. Sometimes it shows the video, sometimes not.So i don't think youtube player uses MediaDisplay..
I've created a swf for a component live preview. The live preview appears to work ok when creating a new component, and setting the live preview in the component definition panel.
When I update an existing component definition (in a separate component library FLA) the live preview does not work. The strange thing is if I copy the entire (component FLA) library and paste it into a new FLA it works fine (although in doing so I receive a whole bunch of errors in the output window saying - Plugin tool script error in method ik_isIKContainer).

I have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:
[Code].....
so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?
I've been experimenting with Windows Azure Blob storage using the samples using Silverlight.
I was wondering if it's possible to write a file upload component in Flash instead of Silverlight, since the former is installed almost everywere. I've never programmed in Action Script but I have a solid background in C# so that must not be hard.
