You need to call your stopFunction if you leave the frame as the video will continue to play. When you come back to this frame, you're creating a new video instance and NetStream, etc... If you place your video at a random x,y you should see that you have multiple video instances. You need to separate your init code from your control code.

OK, I figured out why the problem was occurring. It happened when there was no file to delete - the deleteFile() failed - also causing the while to not execute. My bad.

I have this method: private function rewriteQueue():void { try{ var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath( DATA_FILE_NAME ); file.deleteFile(); while (users.length) { var aUser:Object = users.shift(); writeUser(aUser); } }catch (e:Error) { } } That doesn't work and I'm just not sure why. Putting the while outside of the try/catch fixes it... but why?

Sorry, but the problem is that you're asking basic programming questions along with a question on sockets. That class has all the elements you need to create a small server. You should get used to using classes, especially if you're making a game, they allow you to keep your code separated into logical chunks.

Have this working but just tried with a 400+ MB video and within Flash I get a 1000 system out of memory error. Compiled AIR app sometimes loads the file, sometimes doesn't, and when it does it won't send. So... seems to be some limit to the size of the ByteArray after all. Is there a known limit? I couldn't find anything. 60MB files work fine... and my machine has 24GB of RAM so that shouldn't be a limiting factor.

Good question. Where I work we use MVC also, and I'm sure they'd put that you needed to know it, when posting an open developer position. However, for the most part our dev's can build their apps whichever way works for them. Our .net guys prefer Angular for an MVC framework. I myself use my own loose form of MVC that I've developed over the years. I'm also the only Flash dev so nobody really cares as long as my stuff gets done. MVC does not and should not apply to every project. I might tell them in the interview that you indeed know what MVC is but choose not to always use it for just the reasons you describe. Anyway, that being said if you just Google 'as3 mvc' a lot of stuff comes up including several frameworks and tutorials.

As Ned sad, removing the frame listener that calls snow will stop the flake creation. You should also add a test to snowFall so that when y exceeds the stage height the flake will be removed.

You can use socket.writeMultiByte to write unicode. It's like: socket.writeMultiByte("My string", "unicode"); Here's a list of all supported character codes: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/charset-codes.html

This works fine on Android for me... stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;

Yes, you can make your own simple server using the ServerSocket class and connect to it with the Socket class. And then you have TCP... it's actually pretty simple. Check out the ServerSocket docs to get started, and there's also many examples if you Google around. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/ServerSocket.html

Actually, it's a full on BUG in the security system but I have managed to get it working somewhat... Instead of drawing a piece of the video into a bitmap I instead am scaling the video to some huge size - like 18000 x 10000 and positioning it so I see just the chunk I need. I'd much rather have the freedom of placing into a bitmap but for now this should work. Still a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist though.

There are two air apps - one is the server running serverSocket and it loads the video file. Other air apps, exe, apk, and ios run the client and connect to the server. The server pushes the byteArray video to each client and then the clients play the video. So there is no way to use PHP here. Writing to a local file on each client could work...but it's for three different OS'. This is just such a ridiculous damn problem - it's more of a serious flaw in the' security' system. It's my network, my two AIR apps... a totally closed system and I cannot do what I need without a bunch of workaround or if at all. Very frustrating. Such BS.

I have an air app that reads in a video to a byteArray and then sends that over a socket to a connected client. I can then play the video on the client just fine. But I need to extract a chunk of the video and blow that up to full screen. Soon as I try and do a draw() on the video into a bitmapData I get the security error. The only methods I know of to fix this involve crossdomain.xml but I don't believe that would apply here. Any ideas?

Finally got it working. Too bad only FLV files are supported with this method, but it'll work.

OK, found a little more info. Looks like I will need to first send the array size, then build the array from the received packets.

Couldn't find anything Googling... I'm loading a video file into a ByteArray and then needing to send the array over a socket to connected clients. The ByteArray is 30MB. Not having any luck simply doing a writeBytes to the socket. Is there a max to the size of the array that can be sent?

Socket in AS3 uses TCP. I've used socket on several occasions for games and other things and it's quite reliable.

He must mean the back button in the browser - there is no other back button. And you can't from plain AS3 - you'll need to do it with JavaScript on the page - and also that is a terrible idea.

It's class, not package and it's not a good idea to mix timeline code and code in classes. One or the other - and preferably classes.

Ned's right, just keeping it as 2/3 would probably be fine. However, it's not very difficult, or time consuming, to do it the way you'd like. Using the way I suggested I put a little test together. 20 lines of code. Works pretty good. Have a look if you'd like. I placed the .fla up on Box https://gmrmarketing.box.com/s/icwvpq3z9povoy1715v3

I would probably make a fraction movie clip, with two text fields and the line in it. Instance it from the library, fill in the text, and place where needed.

You can call FFMPEG to do it, there's no real way in Flash/AIR.

There's no component. You had the basic code for reading the file. Read tutorials on AS3 XML and XMLList first. Once you know how to get at the data, you can work on visualizing it. Once you have a grasp on things, this is a pretty easy project.

Seriously. No, that's a FOL if you are making AIR apps. If you make .NET apps, the user has to have .net runtime. Same for Java, etc. Why would it or should it be different? PS that's a rhetorical question, it cannot be different.

Like Ned said... it's very easy to read XML and easy enough to write XML or text or binary, whatever. So you need to ask about how to convert, not paste 1000 lines of xml.

Yup, all those are classes, down to and including Object. Each additional class extends the previous one, and adds additional capabilities. When you make an instance of MovieClip you have access to methods and properties of Object, EventDispatcher, etc. The reason you can add a listener to a movieClip is because it extends EventDispatcher. >>These properties when I type a dot, the predictive code message shows all the properties that this object can use, and the classes from which it inherits these properties. That depends on what editor you're using... using FlashDevelop you will get much more info than say using the built in editor.

>>A Display Object Container is a Display Object Container simply because it can contain other Display Object Containers and Display Objects, and that if it contains Display Object Containers they are children of the original Display Object Container, and if it contains a Display Object, its a child of the original MovieClip but the chain stops there.Any way that is what I understand. I am not sure that it is correct. Anything in a container, whether another container, or a simple display object, are children of the container they are in. MovieClip is a class,it extends Sprite and a bunch of other classes, all the way down to the Object class. The Object class is the base class of every class in AS3. An 'object' is an instance of a class - any class. But it may be confusing at first to see the Object class and hear about objects in OOP. They are different... You can make an instance of Object, which is an object... like so: var a:Object = new Object(); Classes simply allow you to break your code down into manageable pieces that relate to each other. It's much nicer to have a dozen classes with a couple hundred lines in each class, than it is to have one bunch of code with thousands of lines in it.

That does work. When you just set scaleX the video is now off screen left... after setting scaleX add this: vid.x = vid.width;
