Flash Actionscript 3 Internal and External Sounds

2009-04-28T13:24:00.000-07:00

For Flash AS3, you may used embedded MP3 sound files or external among other formats.

External Sound Method:

var sndVarName:Sound = new Sound();
sndVarName.load(new URLRequest("path_to_file.mp3")

);
sndVarName.play();

Pro: Quicker SWF load time
Con: Delay in initially playing

This method has a delay when before the sound plays, but reduces load-time of the flash swf since the file is the embedded.

Internal Sound Method

1. Right click on the library Item
2. Select properties
3. Check "export for actionscript"
4. Give a class name, usually something like Myclassname, uppercase with the first letter. I usually use names that aren't likely to be reserved.

var sndVarName:Clicker = new Clicker();
sndVarName.play();

Prototype JSON Evaluation Method

2008-11-14T15:14:00.000-08:00

A simple function showing how Prototype can parse JSON


function parse_json()
{
   var data = '{"name":"value", "array_names":["Violet","June"], "key_array": {"red":"opens back door","blue":"opens front door"} }'.evalJSON();
 
   //json is the shiznit
   alert(data.name);
   alert(data.array_names[1]);
   alert(data.key_array['blue']);
}

Sample Prototype Ajax Function using JSON


Javascript:

function php_json()
{
    var url = 'json';
    var id = 0;
    var arrParams =
    {
        id: id,
    }
   
    var hash = $H(arrParams);
    var params = hash.toQueryString();
   
    var myAjax = new Ajax.Request(url,
    {
        parameters: params,
        //$('id_of_form_element').serialize(true),
        method:'post',
        onSuccess: function(transport)
        {
           
            strResponse = transport.responseText || "empty";
            strResponse = strResponse.replace(/[\r\n]+/g, "");
           
           
            if(strResponse != 'empty')
            {   
                data = strResponse.evalJSON();
                alert(data.key_array.red);
            }
            else
            {
                alert('strResponse is empty');
            }
        },
        onFailure: function()
        {
            alert('Something went wrong with changing the canceled status');
        }
    });
}

php:

public function json()
    {
        $this->render = false;
        $red = 'opens side door';
        $id = $_POST['id'];
        $json=END needs 3 < before END though, won't allow this in the editor
        {
            "name":"value",
            "array_names":["Violet","June"],
            "key_array":     {
                                "red":"{$red} {$id}",
                                "blue":"opens front door"
                            }
        }
END;
        echo $json;
    }

Thoughts on production environments with web applications

2008-11-14T12:15:00.000-08:00

A good production environment

Environments:

PRODUCTION: normally the current live version

PRODUCTION_COPY - used to redirect live while development is being uploaded to regular PRODUCTION. This should reduce hiccups and keeps the site from being temporarily down for updates. Once copied over production

PRODUCTION_PREVIOUS: previous PRODUCTION environment before last changes were uploaded to production; created in case something wasn't caught in development and production needs to revert back to this while the problems are fixed in development.

DEVELOPMENT: Used for working on updates, after development is tested thoroughly and the client (if needed) has approved changes.

The environments above won't make the product foolproof (an error may not have been caught for several development phases), but at least it reduces errors in the live product.

Updates or project completed scenario:

Have QA or amateur testers view the project in the DEVELOPMENT version checking for problems. If no problems are found, move on.
Optional... maybe have several older productions, save PRODUCTION_PREVIOUS as PRODUCTION_PREVIOUS_001 - or the naming method you prefer.
delete all files in PRODUCTION_PREVIOUS
save PRODUCTION_COPY to PRODUCTION_PREVIOUS.
Redirect PRODUCTION to PRODUCTION_COPY
delete all files in PRODUCTION - make sure site is redirected to the copy
save DEVELOPMENT to PRODUCTION, make sure all files transferred.
Redirect live site to PRODUCTION once again.

Note: The steps above should be done for your files and databases.

Your project recently under DEVELOPMENT is now live and you have several steps to eliminate most errors and you have multiple backups.

Sample use for Environments

Main Site environments:

mainSite
mainSite_copy
mainSite_previous
mainSite_dev

Admin environments:

admin
admin_copy
admin_previous
admin_dev

maybe main and admin share things

shared
shared_copy
shared_previous
shared_dev

CEO Biography

Hi, my name is Derek Kier, I'm the founder of this website. My background is in Web Development and design. I am very interested in interactive design and essentially making things work. My business is currently in Las Vegas Nevada though I design websites nationwide. I love building beautiful and functional websites and applications. Feel free to call me if you have any questions or if you would like me to create your next website.

Vice President Biography

This is Michael Sweeney, I'm the new VP for Vectorflash. I'm an excellent DBA (database administrator), proficient in MySQL as well as MSSQL. Making a strong data-rich back-end is crucial for a website's success.

VectorFlash.net

VectorFlash.net is a company that delivers dynamic scripting to your website enabling custom content management, web development, graphics, animation and video support.

Success on the Net

To be successful on the Net, it is important to have a strong web presence. We achieve this by heavy link exchanges. The link exchange should be with directories or companies that are related to our client's site. You wouldn't want to list a Payday loan company on a charity website for instance.

Dynamic Scripting

We try to make our sites as dynamic as possible and easy to maintain. Dynamic scripting means many things; it can be to reuse functions and variables and it can mean the ability to use an object and change its size without making another object. Basically, we try to be more efficient by making websites dynamic.

Some programming and coding languages we use are PHP, MySQL, Javascript and ASP. For more information on development, visit our Web Development page.
