iPhone, how to detect when control is returned to browser?

Hi guys: I'm a newbie to cocoa programing on iPhone. My client has a website that plays YouTube videos. Once a video is finished playing, it will automatically play the next one.

How can HTML5 "replace" Flash?

A topic of debate that's seen a resurgence since the unveiling of the iPad is the issue of Flash versus HTML5. There are those that suggest that HTML5 will one day supplant/replace Adobe Flash. I do not develop software that runs in a browser, so my (limited) understanding is: HTML is a pure-text markup language that is delivered ove...

jquery.flash plugin not working in IE6

I use jquery.flash() plugin to embed flash into my website. The problem is that in IE6 this doesn't work. I tried swfobject (1.5), also, but it gives me (sometimes) some strange errors with n null or something like that, so I decided to use jquery.flash() also. (I use both swfobject and jquery.flash() now) So, basically, swfobject works...

AS3 Circling the stage

I am trying to have flash draw a line from the center of the stage out and increment around the stage. Not sure what math I would use to do this though. So far I have the line going out to a certain point but not sure how to change that point so that it circles around whatever the dimensions of my stage would be. So far I have this: va...

Client-side image processing

Flash 3.5.3 - breaking change on playing pre-recorded files?

Hi there, installing Adobe FMS 3.5.3 seems to completely wipe out all our interactive applications, and I wondered if anybody else had the same experience. Back in the happy days of 3.5.2, to add a pre-recorded file to a stream, we created the stream: this.clientPlayStream = Stream.get (slrStreamName); then added a file to it: this...

How to implement low-latency n-to-n audio chat

Dear overflowers, I am investigating on how to implement an n-to-n audio chat (so, lets say 4 people hear each other). This is quite trivial using Flash or Wowza Media Server. The real problem is the latency because the 4 people in the chat have to do things as synchronous as possible (for example, something like singing together). Ever...

Invisible sprites still take up a lot in memory

Just curious, if I have a sprite on the stage with the alpha set to 0 does that take up just as much memory as a sprite that is visible? I imagine it does because it draws the sprite to the stage and then it has to set the alpha to zero. It may seem like a stupid question but I just wanted to verify. ...

On click...Goto a scene within embedded swf

Hope the following makes some sense: I have a 'parent' flash swf that loads up a series of 'child' swfs on respective button releases. Click 'Button 1' and "button_1.swf" is loaded etc.. Button actions in the child swf are essentially being ignored. For example: on(release) { with (_level0) { gotoAndPlay("scene_in_child1"...

Flash webcam settings on macbook (and potentially other cameras)

I'm working on a flash app that allows users to take snapshots of themselves using their webcam. It seems that on certain computers (mostly macbooks and MBPs so far) the flash player 10 default webcam setting is for "DV video" rather than "USB Video Class Video", which is the required setting (as far as I know) to allow flash to tap int...

Flash Socket Clients "dynamic control of loaded swf"
