Hand tool for text

samarudge — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:23:45 GMT

Hi,
I have created dynamic text on a button. How can I get the text to display the hand tool instead of the arrow tool. I have made the text not selectable and given it an instance name then used

itbl_text.buttonMode = true;

it is all contained inside a movie clip called iTunes and in the main stage I have the code

iTunes.buttonMode = true;

How can I make the hand tool come up?

Time Slider

samarudge — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:09:08 GMT

Hi,
I have created a Flash MP3 player with a timeline, at the moment you have to click on the place in the timeline to move to but I would like people to be able to click and drag the time slider.
The code I have for setting the position in the time slider is

function setNewProgress(e:MouseEvent):void {

        var p:int = sndObject.length * e.currentTarget.mouseX / 166;

        chaObject.stop();

        chaObject = sndObject.play(p);

        this.btnPlay.visible = false;

        this.btnPause.visible = true;

}

which is called by

        this.progressbar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setNewProgress);

How do I make it click and drag
Thanx,
Sam Rudge

AS3 flash vars via URL

samarudge — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:25:04 GMT

Hi,
I know when passing vars to an AS3 movie you can use the query string like
mymovie.swf?Var1=something&Var2=something_else
but what about passing them via the URL?
I know that YouTube does this, there embed SWFs are
http://www.youtube.com/v/v3xYkyw86QM
with the red bit being the video URL. The server is Apache so it isn't something to do with FMS or any other Flash server
and it can't be done with rewrites like you normaly would because its client side
How can I do this with my flash movies?
Thanx,
Sam Rudge

Best way to update a comment count etc.

samarudge — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:18:23 GMT

Hi guys,
So I am developing a website which will allow users to comment on things. As part of this I need to display a comment count and I wanted to know what you thought was the best way of doing this:
The two options are
Every hour/day run a CRON that counts the comments on a certain item and then updates the articles DB entry
Or
As soon as a comment is added +1 to the comment count

I should mention that this will be a highly used site (estimating 1,000,000+ hits per month)

Which is the best way of doing it?
Thanx,
Sam Rudge

Odd problem with compiler

samarudge — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:33:42 GMT

Hi,

I downloaded the open source project Guitar Tuner (http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitartuner/)
Inside it there is an index.html file, a TunerApplet.jar file and a TunerApplet.java file (As well as some images and GPL etc.)
When i open index.html the applet displays as it should however if I try to recompile (Even without making any changes to the code) I get an error.

I am compiling with the command

Sam-Rudges-MacBook-Pro:GuitarTuner samarudge$ javac tunerapplet.java

then putting it all into a .jar archive using

Sam-Rudges-MacBook-Pro:GuitarTuner samarudge$ jar cvf TunerApplet.jar TunerApplet.class

But when I open the web page again (After closing FireFox and clearing cache) the applet displays but shows the error
"Error: Unable To Start Acquisition"
If you look in the code (below) the string from the error is on line 111

        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) 

            {

                        infoPanel.setVisible(false);

                        repaint();

                }

        }



}

I have even tried signing the file using

Sam-Rudges-MacBook-Pro:GuitarTuner samarudge$ keytool -genkey -alias Tuner -keypass authentic -keystore Tuner -storepass authentic

then

Sam-Rudges-MacBook-Pro:GuitarTuner samarudge$ jarsigner -keystore Tuner -storepass authentic -keypass authentic TunerApplet.jar Tuner

I am quite new to Java and was expecting just to be able to edit the file, compile and .jar it then possibly digitally sign it

What am I doing wrong?
Thanx,

Can I do this in Java???

samarudge — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:52:58 GMT

Hi,
I'm trying to find a suitable language for developing an RIA to be able to tune an instrument via a website. I.E. what I need is:
1) Live input from a microphone
2) Get the volume level of different frequencies
3) Find the average or loudest frequency
4) Output the results

I know that the last 2 are possible but could I do the first two in Java via an applet online?

Thanx,
Sam Rudge

Get a sound frequency

samarudge — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:58:44 GMT

Hi,
So I have the following code

m = Microphone.get();

o = attachAudio(m);

m.setUseEchoSuppression(true);

onEnterFrame = function () {

        vol._xscale = m.activityLevel*100;

        soundvol = m.activityLevel;

        inputname = m.name;

        micgain = m.gain+"%";

        outputvolume = m.;

       freqvolume = \\something

};

As you can see, that code starts taking the input from a microhphone and visualizes the volume as a horizontal bar.
I have the variable freqvolume and I want that to be set to the volume/activityLevel of a certain frequency say 256 Hz (Middle C)
Is that possible?
Thanx

Create a shortening hash function

samarudge — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:06:50 GMT

Hi,
I need to create a function to shorten a numerical ID to a string of letters
E.G.

echo encode_num('1'); //Outputs a

echo encode_num('3'); //Outputs c

echo encode_num('26'); //Outputs z

echo encode_num('27'); //Outputs A

echo encode_num('52'); //Outputs Z

echo encode_num('53'); //Outputs aa

echo encode_num('54'); //Outputs ab

etc.

But I also need to be able to decode them again like

echo decode_num('a'); //Outputs 1

Is this possible to do?
Thanx,
Sam Rudge

samarudge — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:43:55 GMT

Hi,
I have some code to dynamically retrieve one of three AJAX files and insert it into a DIV

The Javascript is

function createajax() {

        var Ajax;

        try{

                Ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();

        } catch (e){

                try{

                        Ajax = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");

                } catch (e) {

                        try{

                                Ajax = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

                        } catch (e){

                                alert("Error!!!");

                                return false;

                        }

                }

        }

        return Ajax;

}



function basicAjaxSwitch(File, Recipient, Animate) {

        if ( Animate == true ) {

                Animation(document.getElementById(Recipient)).duration(100).from('opacity', 1).to('opacity', 0).go();

        }

        basicAjaxSwitch = createajax();

        basicAjaxSwitch.onreadystatechange = function(){

                if(basicAjaxSwitch.readyState == 4){

                        if ( Animate == true ) {

                                Animation(document.getElementById(Recipient)).duration(100).checkpoint().duration(100).from('opacity', 0).to('opacity', 1).go();

                                setTimeout('document.getElementById("'+Recipient+'").innerHTML = basicAjaxSwitch.responseText;', 100);

                        } else {

                                document.getElementById(Recipient).innerHTML = basicAjaxSwitch.responseText;

                        }

                }

        }

        basicAjaxSwitch.open("GET", "/ajax/"+File, true);

        basicAjaxSwitch.send(null);

}



function changesidebarinfo(changeto) {

        if ( changeto == 'login' ) {

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_background')).to('left', '0px').duration(100).go();

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_login')).duration(100).to('color', '#FFF').go();

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_signup')).duration(100).to('color', '#000').go();

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_about')).duration(100).to('color', '#000').go();

                basicAjaxSwitch('contentinfo/login.php', 'main_layout_rsbinfo_container', true);

        } else if ( changeto == 'join' ) {

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_background')).to('left', '50px').duration(100).go();

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_login')).duration(100).to('color', '#000').go();

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_signup')).duration(100).to('color', '#FFF').go();

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_about')).duration(100).to('color', '#000').go();

                basicAjaxSwitch('contentinfo/join.php', 'main_layout_rsbinfo_container', true);

        } else if ( changeto == 'about' ) {

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_background')).to('left', '100px').duration(100).go();

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_login')).duration(100).to('color', '#000').go();

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_signup')).duration(100).to('color', '#000').go();

                Animation(document.getElementById('main_layout_accountlinks_about')).duration(100).to('color', '#FFF').go();

                basicAjaxSwitch('contentinfo/about.php', 'main_layout_rsbinfo_container', true);

        }

}

And the HTML that triggers the actions is

When I click one of the 3 buttons (doesn't matter which) the result is exactly as intended. Then when I click another (or the same) button, nothing happens and Firebug gives the error

basicAjaxSwitch is not a function

changesidebarinfo("login")site.js (line 61)

function onclick(event) { changesidebarinfo("login"); }(click clientX=816, clientY=41)2 (line 2)

[Break on this error] basicAjaxSwitch('contentinfo/login.php...'main_layout_rsbinfo_container', true);\n

Remove layer data from Fireworks PNG

samarudge — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:36:01 GMT

Hi,
My friend has designed a website in Fireworks/HTML and has just saved all her images in Fireworks/PNG format. She has about 300 images all designed in Fireworks but they have all been saved in a format where someone can download them and open them in Fireworks and they will be editable (as vectors).
She wanted to know if there is any way to remove all the editable information from the FW images without re-saving them all.

Sam Rudge (Oh and Sarah who apologizes for being useless =P)

Blowfish Hashing?!?

samarudge — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:37:03 GMT

Hi,
On my websites, I encrypt passwords using a combination of hashing algorithm (Which I am obviously not going to post on a forum but its along the lines of

md5(substr(whirlpool($Value), 0, 7));

)

What is blowfish, how do I use it and how much more secure is it than a function as shown above?

Permision issues with uploading files

samarudge — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:02:11 GMT

Hi,
I have created a script to upload files

$filename = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];        



$filetmpname = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];        



$fileType = $_FILES["Filedata"]["type"];



$fileSizeMB = ($_FILES["Filedata"]["size"] / 1024 / 1000);



//Irrelevant validation here



move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/content/songs/file.mp3");

And that returns OK to the browser allong with my success message but the file doesn't exist, when I look in the sites error log i get

Dynamicaly loading JPG (or other format image) into an Actionscript 3.0 Movie clip

samarudge — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:56:14 GMT

Hi,

I have a movie clip called

dsp_albumcover

(Already created and on the stage, instance name is dsp_albumcover)

I also have a variable with a .jpg file (Can be changed to any other though) defined as

var albumimg:String = '/albumcover.jpg';

How do I load this in to dsp_albumcover?
dsp_albumcover is 128 pixles high x wide and the image is the same dimentions.

Thanx,
Sam

P.S. Before anyone says that I should just include it in my libary, /albumcover.jpg?ID={ID} is the actual image that would be called and would be retrieved from a DB

Get my site to NOT show up on certain keywords

samarudge — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:12:12 GMT

This is probably one of the oddest SEO questions ever but here we go;
My site is showing up fine on the keywords I want but it is also showing up top on keywords that I don't want it to show up on. Is there any way to get Google etc. to get my site not to show up on certain keywords. I have full Webmaster Tools access to the site as well as access to sitemaps, robots.txt and the pages themselves

Sam Rudge
