Few handy code Snippets for when using AS3 & Video.
This can be used with FLVPlayBack Component (just remove the vars/addChilds etc):
import fl.video.*;
var myVideo:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
myVideo.source = "video.flv";
myVideo.skin = "SkinOverPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf";
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completePlay);
function completePlay(e:VideoEvent):void {
myVideo.alpha=0.2;
}
addChild(myVideo);
Net Stream Version:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream=new NetStream(nc);
ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
ns.play("video.flv");
function asyncErrorHandler(event:AsyncErrorEvent):void {
// ignore error
}
var vid:Video = new Video();
vid.attachNetStream(ns);
addChild(vid);
pauseBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseHandler);
playBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playHandler);
stopBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopHandler);
togglePauseBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, togglePauseHandler);
function pauseHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
ns.pause();
}
function playHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
ns.resume();
}
function stopHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
// Pause the stream and move the playhead back to
// the beginning of the stream.
ns.pause();
ns.seek(0);
}
function togglePauseHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
ns.togglePause();
}
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, statusHandler);
function statusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
trace(event.info.code);

Guide to getting MySQLdb installed for Python/MySQL to work on cPanel(11)/centOS(5.4). First you need to check if you need any of these installed (I didn’t).
yum install python-devel yum install MySQL-devel yum install zlib-devel yum install openssl-devel
This one I did need was, python-setuptools this basically allows to; Download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages - as it says on the Python website.
yum install python-setuptools.noarch
Ok lets get started. run this from your cmd line/bash.
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mysql-python/mysql-python-test/1.2.3c1/MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.tar.gz && tar xzf MySQL-python-1.2.3c1.tar.gz && cd MySQL-python-1.2.3c1 && python setup.py build && sudo python setup.py install
That’s it your done! BTW, this is what I am running environment wise.
cPanel 11.25.0-R44718 - WHM 11.25.0 - X 3.9 CENTOS 5.4 i686 standard
maskMovieClip = Instance name of your mask movie clip this is where you add the gradient/radial colour/type.
movieClip = Instance name of your movie clip you want masking.
AS3
movieClip.mask = maskMovieClip; maskMovieClip.cacheAsBitmap = true; movieClip.cacheAsBitmap = true;
AS2
movieClip.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskMovieClip.cacheAsBitmap = true;
mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;
movieClip.setMask("maskMovieClip");
Can’t get? iPhone SDK 3.3 with xCode 2.1.4 running inside Mac OSX 10.5.5, I have it running on VMware with Mac OSX 10.5.5 here’s how:
Download iPhone SDK 3.3 with xCode 2.1.4 from Apple here.
Then do the following:
Edit the version number from 10.5.5 to 10.5.7 inside the “SystemInfo.plist” file which is located here:

Now you can install the latest iPhone SDK without any crappy messages coming up
Recently came accross this problem a client was having. SWF Banners weren’t clicking through neither were impressions been tracked from the Joomla: Banner Manager module, If your have having this problem do the following..
Go to and edit:
/modules/mod_banners/helper.php
Replace:
$html = "<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0\" border=\"0\" width=\"$width\" height=\"$height\">

</object>";
With:
/* Old Flash Code

*/
//HW: BOF New Flash Code that works with Clickthroughs, AND does not hide menus etc (WMODE)
$clickurl = $item->clickurl;
$html_flash = "<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0\" border=\"0\" width=\"$width\" height=\"$height\">

</object>";
if ($clickurl != '') { //Add a GIF based clickthrough IF there is a link supplied in the 'Click url' for this banner in the banner manager.
$html = '<div style="position:relative;z-index:1;" style="background:#fff;">'; //Add the banner clickthrough
$html .= $html_flash;
$html .= '<a href="'.$link.'" target="_blank" style="display:block;position:absolute;width:'.$width.'px;height:'.$height.'px;z-index:9999;top:0px;left:0px;border:none;background:none;"><img src="images/spacer.gif" style="width:'.$width.'px;height:'.$height.'px;" alt="Banner Campaign" /></a> '; //replace this with the path to your spacer.gif (needs to be a transparent PNG/GIF).
$html .= '</div>';
} else { //Otherwise use the orignal code, so that the flash banner still goes to the right place... (instead of a blank page!)
$html .= $html_flash;
}
//HW: EOF New Flash Code that works with Clickthroughs, AND does not hide menus etc (WMODE)
Now upload a transparent Spacer GIF/PNG to the following location, or point the above code to the desired location of choice:
images/spacer.gif
That’s it your good to go!
