im trying to detect when a webcam fails or is unplugged.
Code:
//Get webcam on the screen
var video_vobj:Video;[code]....
this is only executed at the start and i cannot tell if the camera is disconnected during the rest of the clip.Is it possible to check the connection for the life of the clip ?
I have this code in my application:
ActionScript Code:
this.cam = Camera.getCamera();
trace("webcam:", this.cam, this.cam.name);
The problem is, the "trace" ALWAYS displays [object Camera] <camera name>, no matter if my webcam is plugged or not. How can I detect if a webcam is not plugged?
I managed to record webcam stream by using the FMS developper version locally my computer.And if I try to use a remote FMS (FMS Stream EDTN 3.5 ALP), my doesn't work anymore!
import mx.rpc.http.HTTPService;
import flash.net.ObjectEncoding;
private var nc:NetConnection;

Currently making a music project that will, in theory, play sounds based on detected colors a webcam can see.
I'm certain this is possible in either AS 2 or 3 - but unsure exactly how.
I've searched the wonderful nets for a tutorial or an example of this being done with flash but have come up with nothing.
Is there any tutorials for detecting colors and then responding to them? (All as viewed by webcam, so in real-time).
I need help with a small flash project i'm doing. Basically the task is to detect a color via webcam, then respond to what colors it can see (using the webcam). Example Color red is held in front of camera - flash sees this, then respond by playing a sound. green and red is held in front of cam, flash can tell there is two colors, plays a sound. etc would writing the webcam video object to a BMD every frame, then getPixel that to work out the colors? I'm guessing i'd need to use colorTransform to merge all the blues, reds, greens, etc together (so it only checks for those 3) then responds if it finds them with getpixel?
is there any examples of that, or something similar i could work from? would anyone be able to give a quick write up of what this might looklike/how to do it? (havent done much programming in as3) All i need it to do is: Check video for range of colours (ie, blue, light blue, dark blue, etc, all are equal to blue, unsure how i'd do this. Was thinking Yellow, Red, Green, Blue as the 4 colours) If any of those are in the video, then respond by playing a sound. (However if yellow and blue are in the video at the same time, play a DIFFERENT tune)
I searched forums and googled and not found anything on how to detect the Webcam supported resolutions in flash.The whole issue stems from the issue when I use Camera.getCamera() (only have one attached to my laptop) I'm always getting different values for camera.height and camera.width. Also some 720p cams have different aspect ratio then the old cameras.Is there possible to detect somehow what's the largets resolution is supported by a webcam? Or all possible resolutions supported?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a school project that will work so that a webcam can scan a grid of colors and determine what color it is and there by playing a sound tha is connected to that color. You can then create music by drawing different colors on a grid.I know that this is doable in AS3, I just don't know how exactly since im kind of new to this.So i managed to import the webcam image to flash, and that's all. How do I Proceed?
* How do i get the webcam to detect colors? (Green, Blue, Red, Yellow and Black)
* How do i connect these color detections to start playing a sound/movieclip?
Is it possible to detect the specific webcam hardware that a person is using to stream through flash? Assuming that the user has accepted the webcam security questions and is successfully streaming to a FMS server; Can some code we written so that I can tell if the user is using a lifecam vs another model. Ie. are there headers or some other signature that can be used to detect this?

View 5 RepliesI'm having a bit of trouble implementing a system that can detect night and day through webcam.
I've decided the best approach would be to detect the average colour of the webcam image, and through this it can be converted to grayscale and if its closer to black the background will be dark or if its white it'll be brighter.
What I'm having trouble doing is working out how to achieve this, I've been using the kirupa webcam tutorial but I've got no idea how to actually go about working out the average colour.[URL]..
Is there any possibility/workaround to detect if user's webcam supports 16:9 aspect ratio?
View 4 RepliesFrom a Flash object, I would like to be able to detect the presence of a webcam that the user might grant access to, without actually asking the user whether they want to grant access. This is to streamline a large application that has extra features if a webcam exists — if there is a webcam, the application will present several dialogs that lead up to the normal cam-security prompt, but if the user doesn't have the hardware, I want to skip over them altogether. Requesting access to the cam before those dialogs won't make sense to the user.
It appears not to be possible to call Camera.getCamera() without the security prompt happening. Is there a workaround? (For instance, could I, perhaps, call getCamera in a hidden Flash object and inspect its return value, or does it block until the user acknowledges the security prompt?)
I want my site's users to be able to record videos straight from their webcams into my site. Videowhisper is one such tool which seems to work fine - [URL] But I'm looking for opinions on better / more scalable / reliable solutions. Paid solutions are fine.
View 4 RepliesJust updated from FMS 3.5.2 to 3.5.4. After this I'm not able to login onto the server.I've tired to check the fms.ini file without any luck. I've tried to login using both localhost and domain/url. I've tried to use a backup of the conf-folder but all responses from the installation is: "login attemt to the server below failed".It worked PERFECT before the update. There has been no changes in firewall etc. during updateinstallation.
View 7 RepliesIn my application, when I have got an modal window with tab navigation enabled for all the fields. When I am working with chrome, the navigation works fine but when i try it in IE, when i press on tab from the last field, instead of going to the first field, the control goes to the address bar. Does anyone know how to rectify this issue? Is it possible to set next-navigable-item on items?
View 1 RepliesI have a large FLA (about 13 MB) which used to compile fine.
Recently, when I try to publish it, the AS 3.0 files are not getting compiled (Generated size report says 10 bytes for AS3 code) and the swf just keeps blinking (due to the unavailability of the class code for the components). When I tweak around a bit with the class path (and finally restoring it to where it was), sometimes it works
Is there any reason, why the compiler would silently fail. Does flash have any cyclic dependency problems (like in old include statements in C). I somehow see this as a compiler crash. I know there might something wrong with my code but it doesnt show any error.
Tried to upgrade to FMS 3.5.2 on CentOS 5. No dice. Listener doesn't start. No other (as far as I know) services running on :1935. Admin server works, but not Streaming Server.
View 2 RepliesI use Flash primarily for animation. The project I'm working on currently is a hefty 1920 X 1080 square pixel file and currently weighs in at 187mb because of all the sounds and jpg images.It's 2 minutes long.
The problem occuring is new to me as I've never worked with projects this long or in this resolution. Or with this much data (sound effects, jpgs, etc).
The problem is this: I'm trying to import a high resolution photograph (3500x2500) onto the stage or even just in the library. I'm using the photos to get an idea on where the final animation will be placed (photo backgrounds, flash animation, composited in After Effects, think Roger Rabbit).
I''m currently working on a school project, but I'm having issues with getting the flash loaded with loadMovie. I've read on several forums how to use the command, If I use the command, it loads the flash file. But all variables are undefined and the movieclip in which I loaded the swf file also remains empty.
I've tested the situation with a random jpg and this works.
I'm getting kinda desperate, since I've first tried to use scenes without succes..
I have the CS4 Creative Suite, I just got done checking for updates msg and downloaded all.

Is there a way to clear a textfield when all else fails? This is from a very long document I can't post. The textfield is on stage and worked fine until this call. There's no error, I just can change text

I am having an issue with a playbook app I am working on.

View 1 RepliesI've hit a snag when trying to debug an AIR app using adl.
Although adl successfully launches, the application never appears on screen / starts up.
eg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[Code].....
Update: I've also since uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Builder (and therefore, the AIR SDK), and it still doesn't work. I think this adds weight to the port conflict, but still leaves me unsure of where / how to proceed
Further update Compiling exactly the same codebase to a AIR installer, installing, and running the application works fine. (Ie., a production release). However, the codebase fails to launch with adl. This pretty much confirms the issue as a local machine config problem somewhere with adl, and not an issue with the codebase.
I have a flash file that loads 3 straight XML files, one after other.And in every single code I have the sucess condition, like this:
ActionScript Code:
if (success){
doRightStuff();[code].........
Later, I added a function and an Interval to do the verifying:
ActionScript Code:
goBack = function () {
gotoAndPlay("untilItWork1");[code]..............
Didn't work also. Las try was a completely stupid addition: a variable counter that increased it's value 100 times (doing the XML calling and loading everytime), to check if the problem was some delay issue. 5 minutes later, it didn't work also.The second time I load the f**king page, it works like a charm.
This segment creates the MCs for a preloaded slideshow. I want it to skip the creation of the MC and loader at the current index in the loop if a variable at that index is false, and then decrement the index and slideshow_length variable by one.Looking at the code now, I suspect I need to pass si to another variable at each trip through the loop, and decrement that instead. But that still doesn't seem to explain why the else condition isn't tripping. Does it?[code].....
