Audio / Limit to number of simultaneous sounds/musics

« on: May 21, 2014, 02:20:29 am »

The tutorial for sounds and musics states that there is a limit to the number of simultaneous sounds and musics.  My question is does a sf::Music object that is paused still contribute to this total?  What about if it is stopped?  Any information would be appreciated.

Network / How to download a video from a website?

« on: January 23, 2014, 06:58:40 am »

When I use the http functionalities of sfml, I can download videos, but I can't play them properly.  For example, if I send a request to http://assets.ign.com/videos/zencoder/640/d092914f4631a98554ac9849165b5ee9-500000-1390433049-w.mp4 , and save the response body as a file with the .mp4 extention, the file does not play when I open it with VLC player.  When I enter the uri into IE browser, it downloads and then plays properly.  It also works when I download it using URLDownloadToFile() in Visual Studio.  Also, the file downloaded with sfml is about .3MB larger, although I couldn't see any noticeable differences when I opened the files as .txt.  I also encountered this same problem when using libcurl.  Does anyone know is causing this problem?

Graphics / How to check RectangleShape 's bounds with resizing window?

« on: December 31, 2013, 07:37:47 am »

Hello, I am trying to build some simple GUI widgets in SFML 2.1.  I am using a RectangleShape as a text entry box.  When the user clicks the mouse, I check if it is within the RectangleShape 's GlobalBounds.  This check works as long as I don't resize the window.  If I resize the window, the displayed shape gets distorted, but the GlobalBounds remains unchanged.  Then when I click on the displayed rectangle, the mouseButton event's coordinates are not contained in the RectangleShape's GlobalBounds. 

I tried using the RectangleShape 's LocalBounds and the TextureRect, but those don't work either.  To be clear, I want to be able to resize my window and have the RectangleShape resize with it.  But when that happens, how can I check to see if a mouse click is within the bounds of the RectangleShape?
