You can see the finished result here and the view source code is enabled through right clicking. The two new classes DashedLine and DashedPolyline extend Line and Polyline and added two new properties “dash” and “gap”. You set these two values with the value of how big you want the dash and the gap to be. In the future this could be extended to have any number of dash/gap patterns but all I needed was a simple repeating one.

This was based on the Degrafa 1.2 swc but it should work for the 2.2* latest drops.

All the extending that was needed was to inherit the Line and Polyline class and override the preDraw() method. In the overridden preDraw() method I looped through the normal x,y cords and create extra commands based on the dash and gap properties that I exposed in the two new classes DashedLine and DashedPolyline.

NOTE: I did find the use of private member variables and methods in Line and Polyline to be restrictive and had to call super.preDraw() first to make sure some things where called. It still worked for my case but if you wanted to do something total different it was impossible to set the _setBounds correctly.

The updated RemoteObjectAMF0 code can be found in the renaun_com_RemoteObjectAMF0_flex3.swc in the zip file at - http://renaun.com/flex2/RemoteObjectAMF0/renaun_com_RemoteObjectAMF0.zip

NOTE: updated again to add a line to delete references to the responders after it is passed back.

For POG classes the pattern is "class.someobject.php", regardless of the case of the SomeObject class.

Now to added different locations for AMFPHP to look for classes to include for deserialization of AMF requests you open up /amfphp/core/amf/io/AMFBaseDeserializer.php. Go to line 384 (as of AMFPHP 1.9 or the block of code starting with file_exists($GLOBALS['amfphp']['customMappingsPath']) and add the following code for POG classes pattern:

Now your AMF request classes passed in method parameters will be deserialized on the PHP to the correct POG class.

The "Surprise Me!" button is quite fun to just watch the all the different patterns appear. So whats the purpose of this, well mostly to give my brain something totally different to focus on for a little bit while deadlines approach.

The Metaphile project is on google code and now includes an implemented MOVReader as well as an ITunesData class. It might not be the best name for it, but right now the class only reads out some of the metadata defined to by Apple's ITunes application.

The application was shown in the session I gave at 360Flex Atlanta. There other part of the session I showed how to play H.264 files in Flex and see all Metadata that the Flash Player reads in. You can see the live demo and source for the Flex app at:

UPDATE: More general Flash Video info was also presented by David Hassoun at 360Flex Atlanta - check it out here (Titled: Latest Tips and Tricks With Flash Video in Flex)

In connection with this update I am speaking at 360Flex Atlanta tomorrow. I'll be showing how the QTIndexSwapper AIR application works. As well as demonstrating the use of H.264 metadata in the flash player. Not stopping there I went ahead and provide some classes for H.264 binary reading fun. The classes have been committed to a project called Metaphile. Metaphile was actually partially introduced during the last 360Flex conference in Seattle and was started by Ben Stucki (you should check his OpenFlux presentation out if you are at 360Flex). I added a MOVReader that reads out the "ilst" data from the "moov" atom from H.264 files. Basically it grabs iTunes type metadata out of H.264 formatted files, it even pulls out cover art that is embedded into the file.

Come to the 360Flex Atlanta session tomorrow to get a demo and more information about H.264 fun.
