I need to get the position of every shape in every frame. It seems that I should
be able to read the SWF in the following way and thereby create an SWFTimeline
object, but it's not clear how to access the object within the builder...

public static void main( String[] args ) throws IOException
     {
         FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream( args[0] );

         SWFTimelineBuilder builder = new SWFTimelineBuilder();
         TagParser parser = new TagParser( builder );
         SWFReader reader = new SWFReader( builder, fis );

         try {
             reader.readFile();
         } finally {
             fis.close();
         }
     }

Is this a correct use of SWFTimelineBuilder? If so, how does one access the
constructed SWFTimeline?

Perhaps one subclasses the builder, and gets access to the protected timeline
that way; but then, how does the subclass know when the timeline is completed?
By polling isEnded() ?

Thanks Nick,
                   Sorry for the delayed reply...

Thanks Nick,
                    I found that code scriplet. I came across a strange
situation, where a flash file has some query variables passed to the flash file
(i.e. Flash Params). But, when this variable is accessed inside the flash file,
it gives the value "undefined". Can you please tell me, when such scenarios will
occur? Does encoding the URL of the Flash file, will stop the flash file from
getting the value of the Flash params?

Please let me know your clarifications on this.

Cheers,
Prabakaran Srinivasan.

I remember fixing something in ButtonRecord a while back - I will
check when I have time.

RTMP is Adobe's proprietary messaging protocol so it is not something
I know much about. However Adobe has committed to opening the spec
soon - see the press release: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp/

In the meantime, I think that the Red5 o/s media server has some rtmp
code in it that you could use.
http://code.google.com/p/red5/
and
http://ptrthomas.wordpress.com/2008/04/19/how-to-record-rtmp-flash-
video-streams-using-red5/

Let us know how that works.

If you can start sending me your bugs and requests to (at gmail)

Also - anyone mind moving to a Google group instead of this Yahoo one ?

Unknown Opcode exception 0xDF while being parsed. When i decompiled the file, i
saw some debug, debug line statements inside the actionscript code. Is JavaSWF

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Thanks Nick for making that code work again.

What would be good replacement code for the "MovieBuilder" example
with your preferred low level api (e.g parse existing swf to change
images,fonts,text)? Do you have an example for that?

kind regards
Sascha

I added that code back, and made it compile, at
http://code.google.com/p/j2swf/source/browse/#svn/trunk/j2swf/src/legacy

I don't think the "Movie" model will be enhanced any more - that was
the reason it wasn't migrated over from sourceforge. JavaSWF/j2swf is
really about the low-level file format parsing/writing and I've never
been really satisfied with any of the higher-level models or abstractions.

May revisit that when the j2avm project is stable. One of the first
things to be done will be to make j2swf usable when translated and
running in the Flash player - for generating and loading SWF on the
fly inside Flash apps.

Hi people,


It feels good to be in this group, its a surprise that this all was happening in
Nov 29, 2000 while i was being ruined by VB.Net, i mean Java with Flash
marriage, though seems like it never really took off since.


To tell u all the truth is that i am a nobody in Java and Flash, thought i had
learnt Java in 1997; i am a VB6 guy who has finally decided to move on to the
latest Java technologies. And actually this is due to the NetBeans IDE maturity,
cant afford to miss this Linux train now.


So i had been researching about what exactly i should be putting my energies
into, i am sure some of u will guide me in the pitfalls that i may not see right
now. But what i am doing is moving to Java since M$ killed VB6 with .Net years
ago and i dont want to be its victim again.


After thinking for long (m still thinking) , i realized that Java Applets with
Java on server is actually the best deal out there for database software
development for small projects (my target market). Though i can convince my
customers to use JAVA on their machines, but that will mean letting go the
commercial web application development since Applets are heavy weight on
browsers even today, specially for more complex UI apps. 


So again and again i come back to same conclusion that somehow i should be able
to encapsulate Flash development with Java POJO such that my users will see a
Flash interface but it will act exactly like Java Applets (i think GWT
encapsulates JavaScript with Java so why not do the same with Flash) and

Flash is super light weight and with caching it will only get more faster; And

I hope some dont get angry on all this, forgive my naiveness, i am here to get
diretions actually and am not a kid, but one way or other i am staying in Java +

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi All,
       Can anyone help me out in getting the information about the different set
of instructions available in a function.

According to me, the pushed values are written to the stream once a getVariable
or setVariable instruction comes. But i need to track the set of instructions
available on a function.

So, if somebody can give me a clue about this, it would be of great help.

Let me tell you guyz, why i need to track it.

Say for eg, a function has a movieclip loadMovie Call such as

mc_temp.loadMovie(url);

I want to rewrite this as follows

mc_temp.loadMovie(rewriteUrl(url)); where rewriteUrl is my API to update the
url.

The instruction set for mc_temp.loadMovie(url); is as follows

#1    push url
#2    getVariable
#3    push 1 "mc_temp"
#4    getVariable
#5    push "loadMovie"
#6    callMethod
#7    pop

I want to track the url going in as a parameter. So, Iam trying to track the
instructions in ActionParser.java.
But I am not able to rewrite to pass the url to my API, coz the instructions
would have been written to the stream, by the time i realise that it s a
loadMovie call. So, If  I am able to get all the instructions available in a
function, i can traverse through it to find whether there are any loadMovie call
and act accordingly.

So, somebody, please help me out in achieving this.

Thanks in advance,
Prabakaran Srinivasan.




[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi All,
        Can anyone suggest me anyways of capturing the url that will be passed
to the loadMovie API in MovieClip.

This would be of great help.

Thanks,

Hi all,
I've been assigned to make a virtual aquarium and whereas I can handle the logic
behind it, I've always avoided computer graphics like cholera.  Can anyone
recommend a good tutorial for linking and directing .swf images to Java objects?
Thanks.

Hi David,
            Thanks for the update. Can you send me the code that you have added
for changing the values of the getURL and getURL2. It will be of great help..

Thanks in advance,

1. I am not currently using defineshape4 or linestyle2.
2. JavaSWF writes back the version of the input file to the output file, so kind
of by definition, JavaSWF supports any version....

Now having said that, it is more of a question of what tags do you support. The
only additional support that I have added to JavaSWF is to a) support
clipactions b) support changing the url values in getUrl and getUrl2.

interested in the code, please contact me. I'd add it to a repository
if there is one, just point me to where it resides.

1.  I am not currently using defineshape4 or linestyle2.
2.  JavaSWF writes back the version of the input file to the output file, so
kind of by definition, JavaSWF supports any version....

Now having said that, it is more of a question of what tags do you support.  The
only additional support that I have added to JavaSWF is to a) support
clipactions b) support changing the url values in getUrl and getUrl2.

Thanks.
Dave

Hi David

Do you happen to be using DefineShape4 and LineStyle2 which are tags not
supported by the released javaSWF?
What version of SWF are you producing using javaSWF?

Thanks
Lee

Hi

I am following the example "How to create a simple movie at the file
format level" on the web.

The example works fine but I got this weird error when I try to draw a
longer line. The function SWFShape::Line actually draws a CURVEDEDGE
line instead of a straightline when I increase the dx, dy to the
following values....

SWFWriter writer = new SWFWriter( "C:\\temp\\swf\\SWFFileLevel.swf" );
SWFTagTypes swf = new TagWriter( writer );
SWFCustomTags CITag = (SWFCustomTags) swf;
CIShape CIObject;

swf.header( 5,     //Flash version
                     -1,    //unknown length
                     800000,
                     800000,
                     12,    //frames per sec
                     -1 );  //unknown frame count
swf.tagSetBackgroundColor( new Color(255,255,255) );

  //--define a shape\
  Rect outline = new Rect( -2000, -2000, 80000, 80000 );

shape = swf.tagDefineShape2(3, outline);
         shape.defineFillStyle( new Color( 255, 0, 0 ) );
         shape.defineLineStyle( 40, new Color( 0, 0, 0 ) );
         shape.setFillStyle1( 1 );
         shape.setLineStyle( 1 );
         shape.move( 2000, 2000 );  //move coords are absolute

         //******************ERRER***************
         //This value caused the defineShape tag to draw a CURVEEDGE
         //line when i use a swf decompiler to see.
         //Other values like in the example are fine....
         shape.line( 8388, 79666 );
         shape.done();

Any one has any idea whether I have used the API incorrectly or this
is a known bug?

Please help.

Thanks

I ve download zip file and extract as QTJava folder in lib folder of my
NetBeans project. There is no compilation error but while debugging it
says unsatisfyinglinkerror at the second line of the below code :s

SWF2Images swf2images = new SWF2Images();
swf2images.createImage("c:\\ibmr.swf", "c:\\ibmr.jpeg");

Excellent !

The debug player is available from the Flash Player Support center:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

This page has some details of configuring and locating the flash log file:

Hope that helps.

Hi Nick,
                Thanks a lot. I was able to figure out this issue yesterday. I
did not update the jump offset of the branching instruction iffalse, which was
the root cause. Iam using the normal flash player. Can you please tell me where
i can download this debug player? Where the flash logs will be stored.. This
will be helpful for my future endeavours.
Once again, Thanks a lot.

Subject: [JavaSWF-Support] Re: Doubt regarding the instructions


Hey Prabakaran,

Are you using the debug player ? When the verifier chokes like this
it writes a dump of the bytecode into the flash log. That includes
all the instructions in the current method, along with stack and local
variable states. This info would be useful in figuring out the problem.

The verifier will check the bytecode before execution to make sure
that the stack and local var state is compatible with the instructions.
This error could mean that you've inserted instructions which will
leave the stack empty before an instruction which is expecting one
value to be on the stack.
It could also mean that there are several different execution paths
(e.g. from looping or conditional expressions) through the point where
verification failed, and that when following one path the stack has 1
item and when following the other it has zero.

Again - getting hold of the flash log will pinpoint the error.

The AVM2 Overview document gives some explanation of the two stacks.
Briefly - the scope stack is used to hold the list of objects/scopes
that will be searched when looking for a property by name. The
execution stack holds all the other instruction operands and results.
I don't know, but guess that the verifier won't check the scope
stack, other than to make sure it is not empty.

If you have trouble interpreting the flash log, post it here or send
it to me directly.

Good luck.
