Some people had asked for this file today. I emailed it to them, but just in case anyone is interested, I was playing with dynamic masks in Flash last summer. <a href=”https://www.jessewarden.com/downloads/JXL%20dynamic%20masks.fla”>Here is the file</a> (or you can download from the left).
As I look at the code, and I balk at how it’s written, it’s nice to know I’ve improved. Why is it programmers always look at their code and go, “Who in the f)*$% wrote that!?! … oh… I did…”
Ok, I can connect to my Flashcom server inside of Director MX, but I can’t for the life of me get a Flash video sprite to appear with a Camera attached to it, nor make the settings panel appear by sprite(1).settingsPanel(1). WTF!?!?!?!……….
I am wiping the salt-water away from my drenched face as I post this. I laughed so hard reading this… I am Mr. Gay, btw.

I have sumarized the Flashcom stuff, so check the link above for exact changes.
<b>Flashcom</b>
– better audio and video syncronization from Flashcom
– better video framerate in live mode
– better audio latency in live mode (fewer gaps)
– new NetStream property in live mode called <code>liveDelay</code> which shows how much audio delay you are experiencing because of varying network delays
– syncronization of buffered FLV’s between video, audio, and data is now more precise (pre-recorded FLV’s)
– stream time property is now more smooth in changing whereas before it increased in steps
<b>Time Zone Fix</b>
– Fixed invalid daylight savings time offset in the southern hemisphere.
<b>Nested Masks with Device Text</b>
– Fixed rendering bug with device text and nested masks. This issue was only present on Windows XP.
<b>Screen Reader Crash</b>
– The Windows Tablet PC Operating System ships with the Screen Reader ?Speak Text? on by default. This system along with others that rely on a screen reader were experiencing a crash on certain web sites. This issue has been resolved.
