View 2 RepliesI'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...
I 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?
I have a problem reading from Flex a url which has Transfer-Encoding: chunked because the FLex waits for the server to send terminate signal which in chunked transfer isn't sent...

And I found that, when application draws element with encoding-broken text (such as "º ½¾ ±"), the application is often killed with alert dialog "adl quit unexpectedly". How can I make my application more endurable.
I 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;
}
I 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?
the thing is more or less like this: i am sending from some flash app some text to be stored in a database. before i keep it in the database, in the server side, i escape (or in this case i urlencode, the server script is in php). it stores the escaped or url encoded string before attaching it to a sql sentence, hopefully without "s or 's. now to retrieve it, i get it inside an xml node, so it comes just as it was kept in the database (if i have gotten it in a urlvar it would have come unescaped). when i unescape it ant display it, the spaces are replaced by '+'. i have tried trhis page:[URL].. it seems to get it right either in php format (with +), or with flash (with %20), seems to be equivalent.how do i set them to agree, between the flash and php escapes? are there any alternative ways either in flash or in php to url-encode, or does any of those receive parameters?
View 2 RepliesI 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...
is there method/algo to detect universal file encodings ?
View 1 RepliesI 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.

I am trying to populate a component combo box using an urlloaded xml, the xml has been "escaped" and the spaces replaced with +.
How do I populate the combo box as when I unescape the xml and replace the +s it is now in string format.
When I have the combo box in need to be able to select an option, which reflects in the next urlrequest...e.g.
TextLoader.load(new URLRequest(" http://onedev/one/Query2.asp?Cat=THEvalueFROMmyCOMBOBOX "));

I'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. At first I thought it was a change in the format of the video that was being introduced, but then I tired videos that I know that I've converted previously. They crash too. I've also tried on 3 different computers, that have all had success in the past.
View 6 RepliesI 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.
So I have recently created a Tshirt design application where a user can draw on a tshirt / add text / upload images. Though I am having a few problems. Problem #1: Using the pen tool I can only allow users to draw and reset the drawing using the graphics class, no idea how to create an eraser tool
Q1 - Is there any way to create the eraser? Problem #2: Once a user saves the shirt it is later encoded into a JPG or PNG With no way of editing the shirt in the future.
Q2 - I thought of saving the locations of the shapes / items they uploaded onto the shirt and colors and later re-creating the shirt once loaded. But ran into one problem that is I cannot save the drawing they did using the pen tool, only the location of the objects (MC's) is there any better way to creating this?

View 2 RepliesI am creating a swf for use on a Russian website. I have search box that the customer enters there search term which I then concatenate to the URL string in the getURL method.

Does anyone know a way round this?
Or a way to output the characters using UTF-8?
i'm writing simple image editor. I want to allow user to change contrast, brightness ect and save file as jpg. I got 2 problems.
1. I apply filters to bitmap and when I save it, it saves only original image without filters.
ActionScript Code:
var bitmapData:BitmapData = Bitmap(source_image.content).bitmapData;
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
bmp.filters = combineFilters();
combineFilters function gives a set of ColorMatrixFilters to change contrast and other stuff.
2. When I encode a JPG with a as3corelibrary it makes it very slow (over 20 sec for img) and freezes app. Is there any way to aviod this?
I am experimenting with video using the alpha channel capability of the FlashCS3. I followed the tutorial on the gotoandlearn website on how to create chroma keyed video. I exported an avi video file having removed the background. Ive used Flash video encoder for VP6 and flash player 8 with encode alpha channel ticked. However my swf is not showing the video, just a white blank where it should be. It puts out the audio only.
This is the log file.
FILE SUCCESSFULLY ENCODED

I'm stuck with a stupid problem of encoding. My problem is that all my accentuated characters are displayed as weird iso characters.

in a AIR mobile project I've done an initial loop that call a class that save images listed in an xml file to the applicationStorageDirectory of the device (iPad/android). With png files I have no problems since I got a jpg file. All files are correctly saved into the directory, but when a jpg occours it stops the save process (so the jpg is the last file saved and the loop on the list is incomplete, no others pngs are saved).

I 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="
var escapedText1:String = encodeURIComponent("Check out this latest video from Me");
var gotoURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest (twitterShareURLPart1 + shareUrl + twitterShareURLPart2+escapedText1);
navigateToURL(gotoURL,"_blank");
trace(twitterShareURLPart1 + shareUrl + twitterShareURLPart2 + escapedText1);
}
I am making a program which will ask the user to select an image, then encode it to a binary string and store in an XML file. It will then be able to 'decode' the fil and reconstruct it.
I've followed a few guides online, but I can't seem to get anything to work. My understanding is that I need to break the Bitmap into it's BitmapData components, convert that to a 'byteArray' which is saved, (or optionally encoded) then that same byteArray data is retrieved and made into a movie clip onto the stage. However, no matter what I do, I can't get it to properly recreate the bitmap once i've grabbed the data... It always throws a "end of file
In order to get the basics, i've cut my code down to the bare minimum - which is just to load the image from the local filesystem, grab it's bitmapdata, clone it and place it into a new Bitmap which is added to the stage. However, I only ever get returned a "End of file encountered" error message - which seems to indicate to me it's not properly populating the byteArray. (It certainly looks much too short when traced)

I am working with an AS2 application that was put together a while back. The app is used to publish a live video stream to FMS. I am using the Camera class to connect to a local camera (Camera.get()) and to setup the encoding specs for the stream that is to be published to FMS. To preview the camera signal, I am using Video.attachVideo() to attach that camera output to a Video instance on the stage. This is all working greta for me. But here's the thing. The video stream that is being pumped to the Video instance is the direct signal from the camera. Nice and clean. I seem to remember that there is a way to view the video signal with the encoding settings applied to it. It's just one little line of code, if I remember correctly. However, I can't seem to find the code that will do that.
Can anyone quickly share the code that will allow me to preview the encoded video stream?
After installing FMS 3.5.1, anybody can use my server for live enconding. How can I configure the server to authorise live encoding only from subdomain 1234.4567 or by a password?
