I need some suggestions about to create .flv from 1000 images.The application I'm building will be use flash to show the .flv, and the server, who have red5 rtmp and php5. The server will be do the conversion from .jpg to .flv. I searching information but I didn't find which language can be the best to do conversion, or some examples about it..
View 2 RepliesI'm attempting to make it so that when a person fails to fill in blank textboxes in another app that someone else made and I have nothing to do with but affects the XML node Path, my flash file will look instead at DefaultPath if it can't load whatever is in Path..
Here is the sample XML
Code:
<abatch>
<Title>Title!</Title>
<Path>/content/main/broken/path</Path>

Is the code I've been trying to use but it won't do what I want. I keep getting this error:
VideoError: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server
The XML is being properly loaded. Everything else is working. I just need to know that when something is blank it will look at the DefaultPath. I don't seem to be able to get it to do that.
I've spent a lot of time in the past couple of weeks learning Flash. I developed a Flash (swf) file that plays a Flash video (flv) with cue points. It all works very nicely locally, but when I put it on the server and try to access the html file, the Flash control is white (nothing visible) and a popup error message comes up with this error.I've looked all over the web (including non-English sites), tried playing with all the Publish settings I could think of (version check, local/network access, omit trace, enable debugging) and tried adding error handling code to the swf file itself. I've also tried changing the path for the flv file to be relative, absolute and somewhere in between, but nothing works.Does anybody know what can cause this error?

I'm using Flex3 building my AS3 projects for some 3D effects. I am going to create 1000 polygons(or rectangles) on the scene, without texture mapping. It seems the native 3D api of AS3 needs quite a lot memory:
[Code]....
here i created 1000 sp on the scene, the runtime memory cost seems to be more than 60MB. if increase to 2000, memory goes to 120MB. It seems the FVM's native 3D api generates a bitmap texture for each sprite, it's pretty memory costing. The alternative way may be is to draw the projected vertices of the sprites frame by frame by using local3DToGlobal and drawTriangles() to render the scene, but that could be slower. So is there any way to render many instances using the native 3D feature with costing much memory?
I have a flash app running on 1200 machines on a local network. Currently, the app polls the php server every 10 seconds, and is returned a 14 byte string with the state. If the state is new, the app changes mode and gets new data from the server. 1200 machines polling every 10 seconds to pick up ~8 state changes per day seems like an awful lot of network traffic for this.
There is other traffic on the network (streaming video, web surfing etc). When the network load gets high, some of the machines loose the ability to communicate with the server and hang. When I run 400 machines I don't run into this problem. Looks like a scalability problem. What would you recommend for lightweight communication between server and 1200 clients? Remoting with AMFast? XML Sockets? Something else entirely?
I keep getting this error in my output panel when I switch from one flv to another. I am loading up multiple flvs from an xml file.

I have a flash file sitting inside of a web page in our company domain. There is another server (used to store images) that is part of the domain but is not running any web services (for security reasons). A folder on the images server is however shared in such a way that any site on the web server can display images from the images server as long as the user is plugged into the domain. For example, both I and my boss can pull up a web site on the web server and see all the information, but only he can see the images
because I have Vista Basic and no domain support. This is done via "<img src='\serverNamedirectory.'/>"
That's ok, but on this particular instance I don't want to display the image on the webpage, I want it in a SWF on the page. However the SWF can't seem to load the images even though the page it's sitting in could. I've tried tons of variations of URLRequests and Loaders, most resulting in security errors. Since most of the online discussions about these errors revolve around cross-domain access, I can't seem to find any tech support for our specific situation.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a flash program that uses it's own code to send and create images. Each square has a colour and that colour gets added into the array. A black, then grey, then white is:
filecode = ["Bl", "Gr", "Wh"];
That works fine, but when I try to paste it into an Input text box it will only fill in the first part of the array.
filecode = ["Bl,Gr,Wh"];
So the program has NO idea what I want.The only ways I can think of fixing this is by putting in 402 text boxes to suit every box...But every one of them needs a Variable Name.Or by sending the information straight into the array. But this way you are just looking at what you just drew, and that is not at ALL practical.
I've tried a lot of online tutorials for photogalleries but can't find what I'm looking for.I need to bring in my images from xml so that they will fill the thumbnails (if the width of the image is greater than its height then it will scale to the height of the thumbnail) and center within that thumbnail.
Then, when I click on a thumbnail, I need that image to fill the space allowed for the large photo (this time if the width of the image is greater than its height then it will scale to the width of the photo space)and center within that space again.In terms if centering the image,I have created movie clips for both the thumbnail and the large photo space (let's call them "imageHolder")and within those movieclips there is an empty movie clip called "image" which is aligned to the centre of "imageHolder". I thought that this would work:
imageHolder.image._x = 0-(imageHolder.image._width/2);
imageHolder.image._y = 0-(imageHolder.image._height/2);
But no such luck.
As for resizing the images to fit the image holders,

I'm currently working on a JibJab style project where a third party agency have done an animation. Now we have tracked the head motions in AE CS4 and done an export to Flash using XFL, and the motion does not work.
Before this we have done several tests to see if this method would work, so we know it actually does work, but the tests where only a couple of 100 frames long, now the project is over 1500 frames.
The final animation is 60 sec, 25f/s, and after importing the motion into FLASH using XFL nothing happens. The motion is there if we look in the motion editor, the image is there, but nothing happens when i scrub back and forth. This all worked like a charm with the test projects. AND if i try and rightclick the picture or motion editor FLASH freezes, so i know something is REALLY wrong here.
After four hours of bug hunting i have isolated the problem to the number of frames you try to import into FLASH. If the end sequence is more than 1000 frames (exactly!) a extra keyframe is added on the first frame in the motion editor, so there is TWO keyframes on the first frame, where there should only be possible to have one. This happens only if the sequence is more then 1000 frames. If i take the same sequence and export if from AE so its less then 1000 frames everything is fine.
I have attached a screenshot of the extra keyframe that apears in the motion editor. It's allso noteworthy that this extra keyframe can't be changed or adjusted as it does not actualy "excist".
I would like to have this bug confirmed by someone and if someone has a solution? Right now im looking at cutting up the export into "999 frames" sections and then patch it together again in Flash.
I'm a newbie to Actionscript and read many OReily books on AS3 and have a pretty decent understanding of it. But when it comes to typing out code i struggle. So as a solution to connecting all my neurons together to set up some mad typing skills I want to type out pages and pages of code. I was wondering if you guys knew of any "gigantic" super classes i could type out for practice?
View 2 RepliesHere is my problem. I have a file set to 1000 pixels in height and length. My image covers that size. I am trying to create a series of panels that are lined up next to each other and than motion tween it so it looks like the background is moving. I am creating each panel by copying and pasting it and placing them next to each other so it forms a single large line. However, the screen does not allow me to see everything and tends to cut off my panels and I don't know how to fix this. I have it set as "Show All" and it still does not work.
I was told to covert it to background strips dynamically. Can someone tell me how to do this step by step?

View 5 RepliesI want to use http streaming (ie. partial download) to serve some videos (medium to HD quality) to public.Idea is to have videos on server and offer some web page with embedded video player for user to watch selected video.Planned capacity is about 250 to 1000 daily views, with low concurrency requirement (ie. not many users in parallel watching video)I am thinking of complete solution like FLVPlayer or flowplayer to support this.What bothers me are network bandwidth requirements (what is minimum kbps) mainly, and this video player performance when in "heavy" use.For "heavy use" I consider adding possibility to stream many separate video files that I will add in back-end (via XML file or similar) and don't have experience with these players.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a game where users can win buttons/badges as awards. I estimate there will be around 500 awards, in all.I want to allow the users to sell their duplicate/unwanted badges to the bank and buy new ones from the bank.I am showing the badges in multiple awards frames. Below the badges, I show the count, along with a "Buy" and "Sell" button.My question is: What's the best way to handle SO MANY buy & sell buttons? Is there a way around coding 1000 eventListeners and 1000 eventHandlers?
One possible solution is to name my buttons, incrementally, like "buy_mc1", "buy_mc2", etc. Then do a loop to create listeners for this["buy_mc" + i]. However, I would then have to make VERY sure that I link these back correctly to the awards.Currently, I have an "award_mc" field in my database, which stores the name of the movieclip in my .fla. From that, I can access related assets, like the count field, like: this[db.award_mc + "_count"].txt.Unfortunately, this method does not lend itself well to looped access.Maybe I can create an array of movieclip names that are in synch with the buy/sell buttons. For example:
myArray = {aMissionAward, anotherAward, ubernessAward};
My buttons would be: buy_0, buy_1, buy_2, etc.
When someone clicks a button, I can link buy_2 to "ubernessAward", then look for "ubernessAward" on the database.How can I get the number from the button, though? Even if I can loop through setting up the eventListeners, will I have to set up individuatl eventHandlers to process the correct index number? I was not able to get this to work with buttons on the stage. Apparently, buttons are a static class. MovieClips are dynamic, so I was able to get this to work by using MovieClips. Here's what I did:
Added 3 MovieClips to the stage.
Named them "mc0", "mc1", and "mc2".
Add this AS3 code:
for (var i:Number=0; i<3; i++)
{
this["mc" + i].addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, onMcClick );[code]....
From here, I can tie the awardKey to an array of MovieClip names. Then, I can use the MovieClip names to read my database.This is why I come to Stack Overflow, FIRST, when I have a problem. :)
I have a counting movie which displays numbers from 1 to 1000 (action scripts) in a dynamic text box. First 1 and then 2 and so on. It works very well. I convert this movie to a movie clip and drag this new movie clip to the main stage on frame 1, but anything happens now.

As far as I know, what I ask here isn't possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway in case I'm missing something.
Suppose you want to let users upload JPG images, and these images are scaled into smaller icons and the original images are always discarded and never required again. Is there any way that would commonly work in most modern browsers that would let the user select a single image on their hard drive, have that LOCALLY turned into a thumbnail and upload the created thumbnail to a server?
In a case where the server just needs a small image, it would be wasteful both in user time and server resources to proceed uploading the whole image, only to immediately discard it. It would be much better to just scale it on the client.
I can imagine three options. Just plain HTML/Javascript, using Flash or using Java. If this were possible with Flash, that would seem like the best option. But reading flash.net.FileReference documentation, it seems that you can upload a file from the HD yes, but you cannot look inside the file you are uploading. On the other hand, if you enable "can access local files" in Flash publishing options, it seems that you can then no longer access the net, so that doesn't work.
With HTML/Javascript, it is possible to load images and display them on a <canvas>, but if you try to access the pixels of these images, you get security violations, so that doesn't seem to work.
Java I hesitate to use, because only 96.52% of my users have it installed, and the file upload dialogs I have seen implemented in Java (at Facebook for example) have not worked well (unresponsive interface). I wonder though if Java is the only thing allowing resizing images from local HD?
I'm using Agile Uploader in my project to resize image before upload on client side.And it works fine except one thing: if image name contains cyrillic letters it fails with server error 500.
How to avoid this or if needed how to rename file with english letters "on fly" (possibly with javascript).
