ActionScript 2.0 :: Record Keystrokes For Later Playback?
Dec 11, 2011
Can keylisteners be used to record keystrokes for later playback? If not, what can? The goal is to develop a way for individuals to make their own music via keypresses. For example: The R key is pressed to start the recording of the user's keyboard, with each keystroke assigned to play a different movieclip/audio, etc. The S key is then pressed to stop the recording. Lastly, the P key is pressed to play those movieclips/audio,etc. in their recorded sequence at the enjoyment of the individiual user.
My goal is to make a replay function: I have to "record" 3 moviesclips movements for N seconds and play them back.Is there a library avaible to do it or a simple way ? Or do I need it from scratch?
I would like to learn how record a user mouse movements during their session in the app.Well really I'm looking to record what the user draws, save that data, and call it back I've seen apps where it plays back what the user drew line by line. I've been looking though AS3 Bible and and AS3 Cookbook
doing sound recording and playback in flash. I found this code from a tutorial and converted it to a flash document. From my traces, the record functions seem to be called. But when I try to play back the data, it tells me that the byteArray is empty. I've tested and I know that my microphone is working.
When I trace the size of the ByteArray, it returns 0;
So why does no data get recorded into the ByteArray?
output: Recording Stopped recording Start Playing Play Data - NO DATA
Will there ever be the ability to add a 'Record' button to a player such as those used with Ustream, Justin.tv and other similar players? I run a live stream and would love for the viewers to have a 'Record' button so they may capture the video to their local hard drives for later playback.
I am making a password protected site. I have made the site function that the proper password is required and once submitted the user gets linked to the next page.I want the password text box to not accept anything from the keyboard except for the ctrl+paste function. how to disable certain keystrokes using AS3? I want the letters A-Z disabled with the exception of the letter V.
Is it possible to handle keystrokes WHILE dragging? I found this to be impossible, because hitting a key always fires an "onRelease" or "onReleaseOutside" event on the dragged movieclip when releasing the key - intterupting the drag operation. What I want to do is something like this: Drag and Drop a Movieclip and while dragging it I want to be able to flip it with a keystroke.
I have a little application running and I want the Page Up and Down Buttons to do something when pressed. For some reason though, when I am testing the movie and I press the buttons nothing will happen. I can't even trace anything.It seems to be the case with all of the "Document Keys" (Home, End, Delete, PgUp, PgDown), but not with any of the others.
I'm learning Flash to make a website for one of the companies I work forI have a decent portfolio page that loads content information from an .xml document. I'm just thrilled that it works, but my boss wants a little more.He wants to be able to scroll through the entries with left and right keystrokes. In the glow of my recent array-building triumph, I told him, 'sure, I can do that!' ...but I can't. I can't figure out how to make the left and right keys go to previous or next entries. With previous problems I've been able to find an answer by searching google, but I'm stuck on this one.
Here's my code: var titleArray:Array = new Array(); var descriptionArray:Array = new Array();
I have a movie with a blank mc on the stage. I have it set up so that when you press the RIGHT keyboard key it loads another movie in that mc. Here's the code for that:
If I have more than one movie, how do I code it so that when I press the RIGHT key again it loads another movie as well as goes back when I press the LEFT?
when I test my project in flash CS4, both the flash player and the authoring tool detect my keystrokes. Is there a way to make the authoring tool ignore key input while testing a movie, since I really only intend the key presses for the movie?
has anyone else found trace() to be much, much slower in CS4?
I am accessing some games that my company built using a AIR browser (allowing us to sell an installable product on a CD, but keeping the content online for ease of maintenance). I can get the games to load, but i cant get them to accept keystrokes, ie: we have a tetris-like game that isnt getting any of the arrow key inputs. I'm fairly certain this has something to do with a focus issue, but I have no idea how to fix it.
I develop failover fms application with server-side action script. But i have a problem that FMS can't continue to record stream with record mode "append".
Environment: FMS 4.5.1 r484 on CentOS 5.5/6.0
Goals:
I have 2 same data streams in failover application and republish primary to livepkgr application.
I have to store of last 10 hours intact recorded video (DVR).
Failover app logic:
1. I create NetConnection and NetStream to livepackager;
2. When primary stream is connected it attach the primary stream to livePackager NetStream
3. If primary stream is disconnected it reattach the backup stream to livePackager NetStream
Problem: I have testing environment. It stop primary stream every 5 min, and started primary stream 5 min after stopping.
It work's, fine, but after a few hours testing LIVEPACKAGER falls. It can't record a stream, NetStream.Record.Start -> NetStream.Record.NoAccess -> NetStream.Record.Stop
Search a solution: I try to relaunch recording process and have no success. try to shutdown/start livepackager, it's same, try to restart server, same no success.
I cant stream.clear() or record with mode "record" cause it clears my dvr cache, I cant clean stream directory in livepackager application.
Some of my Flash application components require to intercept Ctrl + F4 keyboard events. Unfortunately, the KeyboardEvent is not caught when running the app under IE since it is conflicting with the IE native shortcut (closing the active tab). Is there a way (ideally relying on Flash principles) to intercept such keystrokes?
I've written a little video game in Flex that runs in a browser. The player moves by pushing the arrow buttons on the keyboard, so I need to capture those keystrokes. In fact, the game action starts when the player presses one of those keys.In order to capture the keystrokes, the Flash/Flex application, not just the browser, needs to have the focus.How can I ensure that the application has the focus? I've implemented a bit of a hack: A "Begin" button you must click to start the game. The only point of this button is to ensure that the app has the focus.
I need to find a way to detect keystrokes when the flash file is not selected and send that information to an .swf file. The file would be stored locally (not on the internet).
I've created a simple Flash based menu (ONE frame, 7 layers) with a Keylistener on the first frame of my "background" layer. I have it setup with six links/buttons. Clicking a button opens that URL. And in "Test" mode from the Flash Editor, pressing 1 thru 6 on the keyboard launches the specified link as well.
But after I publish/upload my file, it no longer detects any keystrokes. I suspected this was because the animation was playing just one frame and stopping, but the animation is set to loop. I also tried adding a second frame and adding a "gotoandplay(1);", but that didn't work either.
Code: KeyListener = new Object(); var myKey; KeyListener.onKeyDown = function() { myKey = Key.getAscii();
I'd like to put some motion graphics up on youtube, however I don't have a clue about video,I've never dabbled in it. In fact I've never even uploaded a video to youtube
I'm looking at finding a way of recording the amount of times a swf is loaded or a button pressed with the aim of giving a client feedback about how their product is used.Basically I am creating a touch screen app for a client which will contain a couple of hundred images and the client would like to keep track of which images are loaded in and how many times.
I looked at Mochibot which seems good however I don't think this app I am building will be connected to the Internet. So that's not a viable option. So is it possible to output something locally? Which will get added too every time the app is used. Even if the computer and app are restarted?
I want to record audio from a Swf file, not mic, not from network just a simple swf file in local filesystem. I use SwfLoader, load into my app, and record by:
I have a frame by frame secuence and a player to play, stop , rewind it.Works ok, we are all happy.now I need to do something else with it, that swf movie will be seen by a final user in a common browser. A new functionality is required:The user must be able to play it (no problem)pause it some x time (guess no problem)and that execution has to be recorded so we can see it again in another session (big problem) I need to be able to record in some way the user choices (if he stopped, paused and so on) but not only that, I need to be able to play again those movements.I've seen many flas with cursor tracking (you record and then play it again), the problem is that if you reload the browser or quit those results are not available again...Do I need a database? Is there any open source available out there with somehting similar?
