Thanks mike

thought i would share what i'd found on google so far - none of this has
explicit hooks to detect blinks so may have to be further developed

The main source of code seems to be an OpenCV(
http://opencvlibrary.sourceforge.net/) port to AS3 called MariLena (
http://www.francois-tarlier.com/blog/marilena-opencv-port-to-actionscript-3-as3-flash/)
which was further optimised by Quasimondo (
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000687.php#000687)

Here are a couple of the libraries out there:
HiSlope face / eye detection based on open cv / quasimondo library

[Flashcoders] looking for a face-detection / blink detection as library

Hey guys

I'm looking for a face detection or, more specifically, a blink detection
library for a project I'm on and I was wondering if anyone on this list has
had any experience with this kind of work?

thanks

[Flashcoders] Flash Builder 4.6 Spark button skin

Thu, 17 May 2012 19:00:19 +0000

From: "Creighton, Gerry" 
Reply-to: Flash Coders List 

I created a custom skin for three buttons that have the same background for up, over and down states.
I'm setting those with png's like so..






This works great and allows me to set the label for each but I'm having a problem setting & positioning the icon for each
Button that uses this skin. I want to display a different icon for each of the buttons using this skin.

Can this be done? I think there might be a conflict with the skin I created and setting an icon. The icon for each button
Doesn't even show up.

Anyone run into this? I've looked online but nothing related to my situation.

Thanks,

-Gerry

Re: [Flashcoders] Get Timezone City?

Reply-to: Flash Coders List 

You could always prompt your user to enter their city if your needing specifics. Getting the city from the time zone is a bit general. Getting the city by ip can also get a little misleading since ips can be spoofed or you could end up getting their ISPs ip or if it's a virtual machine. But that's my experience. Someone may have a solution I'm not aware of.

Best,
Karl

Hi David,

The IP address could work if your Air has access to that. I don't know much
about it, but for a web project I worked on a few years ago, the SEO people
used the IP to determine the user's country and redirect according to that
(Ireland or US site). I think they were using some kind of Geo-IP database
service for this.

Thanks Karl,

I can grab the time using the Date class in AS3, I'm more stuck on how to
detect what city they have set in their system preferences or some other way
to detect what city they are in.

IP address?

Thanks,

David

[Flashcoders] Get Timezone City?

Wed, 16 May 2012 22:27:46 +0000

From: David Hunter 
Reply-to: Flash Coders List 

Hi All,

I'm making a screensaver / air app of a clock and one of the desired
features is to grab the city of the timezone that the computer is set to.
For example my clock is set to GMT and London, but I could set it to
Eastern Daylight Time and the city to New York or Miami.

Does anyone know if it is possible to grab the city selected associated
with the time of the computer? (I'm on a mac, not sure if the setup is the
same on a PC...)

Thanks,

David
