Benh on "callFunction woes"

Benh — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:22:15 +0000

hey folks,

I have been smashing my head against a wall repeatedly for a few days on this one. I am trying to write a section of code which will create a textbox, set the text and format it.

I have been using the dynamic font loading demo as a bit of a guide, and am using one of the fonts from that package to try and format the text.

I am finding that everything is fine, if the text is completely unformatted, but if i try to format it as follows all sorts of strange things happen.

using aptana javascript debugger I found this line is where the problem occurs:

textField.callFunction("setTextFormat", format);

where the textField is a textField, and format is a format object.

One of the strangest things about this problem is that when this line is executed, a variable called i which is used else where in the code, suddenly changes from 0 to 2!

The only difference between this and the dynamic font demo is that there will be many textfields in the same flash instance.

If possible I would like to use a similar method to the solution provided here: http://www.ozzu.com/flash-forum/actionscript-dynamic-text-t70620.html . I cannot see how this would be implemented using aflax though.

If anyone could provide any advice on either method I would be most greatful!

Thanks,

Ben

syang94555 — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:47:18 +0000

Hi,
I like Google finance very much. It allows me to drag the stock chart, zoom-in and zoom-out, etc. Also, the chart also dynamicaly update the "News" part of the page according to the view of the stock chart.

Could someone explain how it work? And could I use Aflax to develop a site like that?

ddurham on "aflax integration with swf files"

ddurham — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:34:28 +0000

Can I use aflax to add an event listener to an existing swf object? I'd even be happy with a click handler over a certain area (exact coordinates) of a flash movie. Perhaps I can simply overlay a transparent div at the position that I want with a click handler attached.

I'll connect remote socket ( cross domain )

psychcf on "Modified aflax to use a different json sanitizer, now it does not work"

psychcf — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:26:01 +0000

I modified aflax to use a different json sterilizer then the one provided (dojo's), and now it's not working correctly on windows. Any browser on windows does not work. Firefox on linux and OSX don't have this issue at all.

The applet doesn't seem to be making the correct callbacks, or running correctly. I'm not quite sure why either.

Here's the source: http://psychdesktop.net/subversion/file/1/trunk/desktop/api/aflax.js

mbyrne on "AFLAX and Wowza RMTP Support"

mbyrne — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 12:59:23 +0000

I am wondering if AFLAX supports RMTP through Wowza Media server.

We have tried using the AFLAX.VideoClip function with a fully qualified path to the FLV file on the Wowza server, such as RMTP://server/application/directory/stream. We are also omitting the FLV extension per the Wowza documentation.

Has anyone done this through AFLAX? Or does anyone have suggestions for how to to this?

Thanks

wantsomuch on "playing sounds (mp3)"

wantsomuch — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 11:42:08 +0000

Hi there, I recently found the aflax package and it's exactly what I'm looking for-- full credit where credit due! Fantasic bit of kit!

I'm building a social-networking site containing, amongst other things, ajax based chat room.

Specifically, members can send "nudges" or "winks" to others -- which, of course, I'm using Aflax to play back the media via flash.

The alerts on my site appear dynamically (subscribes to channel; publishes on interrupt) -- so, I needed to modify (clone) the insertFlash method. Instead of issuing a document.write (which would affect the page) -- better, I return the html as a string and assign a SPAN tag with the new innerHTML.

Seems to work well -- if anyone needs any help setting it up (though I did find it very straight-forward anyway) -- happy to explain through the code mods, etc.

All the best!

Dave.

yeah what's the deal with this??? Aptana is featuring Aflax and Aflax is getting all this visibility that most of us envy, but the web site doesn't even render.

gabrieleds on "Camera image capture"

gabrieleds — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 22:51:54 +0000

I am trying to find a way to capture an image with the webcam, using for example the Aflax camera demo, and send the image captured to the server...

I need to save the image on the server or just into a MySql database.

Is it possible may be combining the camera demo and the upload file demo of Aflax?

Thanks

pc1oad1etter on "Socket Demo returns "Could not make connection to server.""

pc1oad1etter — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 18:51:40 +0000

Although the public example doesn't work, when I download the Aptana IDE, and uses the Run feature, I am able to get it to connect, if the server script is running on the same host as the web server.

How can I connect to a separate server? Is this a security requirement?

If I can do that, I also want to know how I could make the HTML file be simply opened locally in a web browser - not have to have a web server locally.

pc1oad1etter on "Socket Demo returns "Could not make connection to server.""

pc1oad1etter — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 20:31:34 +0000

I cannot even get the socket demo on the web to work - it simply returns "Could not make connection to server."

When I try to run it locally, I get browser errors in IE, and nothing happens. The perl script sits at "Waiting for connections"

What could be wrong here?

I am interested in using Aflax, but so far I'm having a lot of trouble and it's not very encouraging to see posts sitting unanswered for months on end! Also
FYI, I was not able to login to the forum using Firefox 2.0.0.8 and Windows XP.

cavva on "Problem running AFLAX locally"

cavva — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 15:51:12 +0000

Hi, all the demos found online works fine,
but if i save the page and run the examples loaclly no one works!!

I'm on a Debian lenny, using Firefox 2.0 and flashplayer 9.0.48.
I think it's a problem with the ExternalInterface, i've also tried with the FABridge and had the same behaviour:
if i'm running on remote site all work fine, if running locally nothing is displayed ...

Anyone could help or say something?
thanks

jusob on "Problem retrieving ID3"

jusob — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 03:48:50 +0000

Hello,
I'm trying to retrieve the MP3 ID3 while playing a file. The example is at http://sobrier.org/test/aflax/examples/sound/sound.html

It looks like this:
var aflax = new AFLAX("../../lib/AFLAX/aflax.swf");

var soundObj = null;

function go()
{
AFLAX.trace("Here")

soundObj = new AFLAX.FlashObject(aflax, "Sound");

AFLAX.trace(soundObj.id);

soundObj.exposeFunction("loadSound", soundObj);
soundObj.exposeFunction("start", soundObj);
soundObj.exposeFunction("stop", soundObj);
soundObj.exposeProperty("position", soundObj);
soundObj.exposeProperty("id3", soundObj);
soundObj.mapFunction("addEventHandler");

//soundObj.addEventHandler("onLoad", "readyToPlay");
//soundObj.addEventHandler("onID3", "OnId3");

//soundObj.checkPolicyFile = true;
//soundObj.loadSound("http://sobrier.org/test/aflax/examples/sound/cergy.mp3", true);
//soundObj.loadSound("http://scfire-chi0l-2.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1048", true);

soundObj.onID3 = function () {
for( var prop in soundObj.id3 ){
alert(prop);
}
}
soundObj.loadSound("http://sobrier.org/test/aflax/examples/sound/cergy.mp3", true);

My mp3 file does contains ID3 tags, but it is never picked. soundObj.getId3().artist is always undefined.

I've checked out http://www.koders.com/javascript/fid4B32347A37700E84C064F9D6AA67E89F28897BDD.aspx. This is very similar to what I did.

Anybody tried to do the same thing?

Thank you

Does anyone know how to clean up the <div>/videoclip from screen once it's finished?

It now starts when a users presses a button but it should completely be forgotten once it's finished. Now I keep a slight shadow in the div, the end of the clip.

peted on "aflax socket not returning CR terminated string"

peted — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 09:47:33 +0000

hi, i set up alfax and got it working with a socket connection to an IP device. I can see im sending string data ok, but im not getting the onData event to fire to pass through returned string information. I think this may be becasue the returned string data is CR/LF terminated instead of 0 xml. I think the flash xmlsocket may need to be overided. Can anyone tell me how to do this please.

How I can handle the mouse wheel, I know I have to create a instance of Mouse object and use mouse listeners but does AFLAX support it and how I can do that? :)

blurayne on "Upload with Flash throws script-timeout on >2MBit/s"

blurayne — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 18:41:16 +0000

Hi there!

I've implemented the uploader and noted that connections > 1-3 MBit/s with big files causes flash to throw an “This script is running slowly. You wanna cancel?”-error. This also happens when uploading big files in local LAN.

Anyway, this is a major problem here, because business broadband connections are widespread here, and most of our customers are agencies that use them.

You can try out here (just take a 100MB file!):
http://www.aflax.org/examples/fileupload/fileupload.html

Problem is that more than one onProgress are thrown at once (say 20!), then some seconds nothing happens, then again some 20 events are thrown at once and so on. After some seconds the flash timeout message appears :X

Any ideas to solve that problem? I can reproduce it on every computer. And i also have it with other flash-based upload-solutions.

fattymelt on "This is not Asynchronous"

fattymelt — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 22:08:16 +0000

ExternalInterface is SYNCHRONOUS, and you note that Aflax uses ExternalInterface for js/flash communication.

So how is it that Aflax is asynchronous?

Cerin on "How Do You Set Handlers For Key Press Events?"

Cerin — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 06:24:01 +0000

A couple examples set event handlers for mouse movement like:

aflax.getRoot().addEventHandler("onMouseMove", "onMouseMove");

but how do you do this for capturing keyboard events? I've tried "onKeyPress", "onKeyDown", and "onKeyUp" but nothing works. I've Googled for the corresponding Actionscript but could find nothing.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
