Python, Ming and Flash

: Description : This page contains notes about my explorations into using Python, Ming and Flash. It is based on research and development conducted before I started wiki-ing things so it may not be of use to you.

( See also : Flashduino for some Python/ming source code included with the Flashduino source)

• My Flash-related blog posts

My Initial Tests and Demos

• Rotating colour bars video (Note: Colour bars sound is irritating)

• Two videos playing at the same time, with text and line graphics

• As above, but with video and text bouncing from side-to-side

• As above, but with video and text bouncing from side-to-side and up and down with position text updates

• ditto?

• Moving bar graph with gradient

• Filled shape

• Rotating shapes

• Rotating randomly sized & positioned filled shapes with gradient

• Early moving gradient bar graph test

• Best moving gradient bar graph? (Stops after one iteration)

Current Tests and Demos

• Text field, multiline, editable, HTML

• Two text fields, active button, copy from one text field to button

Code and Binaries

• ming.py ming_h.py libming.so.4 (Compiled for FreeBSD 5.3 i386) The ming.py file is a patched version of the file supplied with the Python bindings—from memory I tried to keep as compatible as possible with the original. The ming_h.py file was generated from the ctypes codegen tools (again from memory) which required use of gccxml etc. You'll need ctypes version ?.?? to use it.

ActionScript etc Notes

• handle enter in (single and) multiline text fields
• support for Enter-key form submission
