Re: [Vnc2swf-users] Cursor pseudo-encoding

[<lfk...@ya...>]

 Hi,
 
 I managed to make the cursor pseudo-encodings to work.
 It understands the messages and draws the cursor image at the right place.
 But it still needs to use the cursor mask to change the alpha channel to make
 the background transparent.  Unfortunetly I don't know Python very much.
 Maybe someone with Python knowlegde could make this part to work properly in
an
 easily manner.
 How can I send the files? I've been trying to send it but my message gets 
 blocked everytime.
 Here's the problem I need to solve:  I have one variable with the maskData
(one  
 bit for each pixel) and I have another variable with the image (4 bytes per
 pixel - RGBA).  How can I change the alpha channel?  I really couldn't 
 understand the types used and how to access each element.

Thank you, Luis!  I've received your files. It seems working
pretty good, and I will try to add alpha channel things, and
incorporate your changes into the next version.

Hi,

I was thinking a little more about the mouse movement feature.
I'm currently using TightVnc. It has a pseudo-encoding for sending the server
cursor position so it works great.  Unfortunately UltraVnc and many others
don't have it.  They just send the cursor image to the client so it can be
changed to match the server cursor but they never send the server cursor
position.  I guess they presume that the client will move the mouse and not the
other way around.
I sent a feature request to UltraVnc to include the same pseudo-encoding that
the TightVnc has.
Thinking about it I realized that pyvnc2swf doesn't show the server screen.  I 
believe that most people just connect to the localhost.
If this is the case why not just capture the mouse position from the screen
directly using python?  Could even catch mouse clicks and animate them in the
swf file. These could be just a feature enabled through a command line arg.

[Vnc2swf-users] version 0.7.2 bug and feature suggestions

[<lfk...@ya...>]

Still needs to fix the protocol version handshake:
I posted a message previously about it but here it goes again.
First the client should read the maximum protocol version the server is able to
understand.  And then the client should send the protocol version it wants to
use.
The problem occurs with UltraVnc because the server sends version 3.6.  The
client should send version 3.3 and assume that the handshaked version is 3.3. 
But pvnc2swf is assuming 3.6 and it's not working!

A few suggestions:
- add a "Stop" action tag at the last frame
my suggestion is to change the "close" method in "class 
SWFOutputStream" as follows:

#################################  
  def close(self):
    #stop
    self.writer.start_action()
    self.writer.do_action(7)
    self.writer.end_action()
    #show frame
    self.writer.start_tag()
    self.writer.end_tag(1)
    MovieOutputStream.next_frame(self)
    MovieOutputStream.close(self)
    if self.writer:
      self.writer.start_tag()
      self.writer.end_tag(0)
      self.writer.write_file(self.output_frames)
      self.writer = None
    self.info.generate_html()
    return
######################################

- add a navigation bar with play, pause, rewind buttons and a slider to move
quickly forward and backwards and show the elapsed time since the begining.

- track the cursor separately

- animate the cursor clicks

Luis,

Thank you for your help. I realized I was wrong about
the protocol handshaking. Now I tried to identify the server's
version first and use the maximum available version.
And I'll also add a stop action in the end.

As for capturing mouse position or clicks directly, I don't know
how to do it, I wish I could though.  I have received another
feature request for capturing key strokes, but I'm afraid there's
no way to do these things in a platform independent way.  Because
I like the cross-platform portability so much (which is one of the
reasons why I switch to Python), I'd like to defer implementing
these features some time later.
