Is there any approach to take the snapshot of a drawing created in pure AS2 flash coding ?
I tried to use Bitmapdata and bridge but bitmap works in as3 and bridge combines two swf together and communicate with them. Is there a way of doing screenshot in as2 ?
I'm attempting to take an image from a networked camera and store it as a bitmap. I discovered that flash didn't support MJPEG so I found a class someone had written that could talk to the camera and output on the screen. Then I edited it so that I could request the current image at any time and store it in a ByteArray.I've managed to load that ByteArray with a loader class and place it on the stage, but I'm not sure how to save that as a Bitmap?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to scale text from 1 to 5, a sort of zoom in type of look. I'm using the code below:
<s:Scale target="myLabel" autoCenterTransform="true"
duration="2000"
scaleYFrom="1" scaleYTo="5" scaleXFrom="1" scaleXTo="5"
>
The text scales terribly. So my goal is to take a snapshot of the text label at a large font, add it to the display list, set the scale to a 5th and then animate the scale up to 1. After that I have to set the text again and do it all over again.
This is a Flex app and that's where my question comes in. I don't know how to take a snapshot, then what to add it to (group?) and then how to erase it and start over again?
I am downloading an external swf file, which contains a library movieclip which I want to go through and extract bitmapdata of each frame. to do this I am using a for loop on this bit of code:
Code:
var tmpBMData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(baseObj.width, baseObj.height);
tmpBMData.draw(baseObj);
Problem is, when I stick that bitmapdata in a new bitmap and put it on the stage, the bit of the mc I am interested in is surrounded by a white square. Not sure if this is something I need to handle in the Flex AS3 or the Flash CS5 used to create the swf.
I need to take a snapshot of a movie clip (only a rectangular of a movie clip, not the whole) and to store it in a variable so I can later show it to the user.
View 2 Replieshi guys, i got this image i scaled down by .5. The user is then allowed to add objects to the image such as flowers that are sprites in the library. So basically, a jpeg that is 800 x 800 is down to 400 x 400 on the stage and the user is able to add objects to overlay the image.
i want to save the image with the flowers and objects back to its 800 x 800, how do i redraw this image using bitmapdata properly?

I load data from xml and want a list of thumbnails with text to be lined up. A handful of text-attributes to the xml-rows, including a src-attribute, which links to an image, goes through as wanted - text is shown, and images are shown. The image order, however, varies when I have more than two rows and is completely wrong. The text-attribute-order to each thumbnail remains perfect in all scenarios.The images bitmapData is taken etc., and the images are scaled to a proper thumbnail size. This might be where something goes wrong?

I am in search of a "simple" way to implement the generation of a JPG from a Flash SWF housed within an HTML page. DETAILS: Once a visitor has assembled draggable objects within the SWF, and to their liking, I would like for them to have the ability to click a button that would render a JPG version of their layout. Hope this makes sense. I have found source codes online, in conjunction with PHP scripting, but am struggling to make this work.
View 1 RepliesI have a flex mobile application that I am working on that I am having issues with selecting an image from roll/taking a picture. My application is not tabbed, however one part of it contains a Tabbed View Navigator with tabs across the bottom. Within one of those tabs, I have the ability to upload an image to a webservice that I have created. However, when I select an image or take the picture, it pops back out to the initial splash screen and the application restarts. If I use the component standalone (outside of the tabbed view navigator) it selects the image and uploads without any problem.

i'm creating a visual editor in flex and need to let users export thier projects into Image format. But i have one problem: size of the canvas is fixed and when user add element which is out of these sizes some scroll bars added. And user continue working on the project. but when he want to take snapshot of the canvas he just get the visible part ot the canvas with scrollbars. how to get image of the fullsize canvas?
The only solution i found is to check the positions and sizes of canvas child objects and rezise it to fit them. then take snap and resize back. But it hmmmm... too complicated i think. Is there some "easy methods"?

View 2 RepliesI've set up Red5 on one of my servers. I've created a "caster" flash app and a "viewer" flash app. Basically this is a "one-to-many" webcam streaming application.Everything is working fine. Users can fire up their webcam and connect to the server and broadcast. Viewers can connect to the streams with the "viewer" app just fine.What I'm trying to implement now, are snapshot and record buttons on the viewer side. Right now I am just focusing on snapshots.I've found lots of examples/tutorials on how to take a snapshot using your own webcam. However, when I try to implement these on the "viewer" side, it doesn't work. When I try to search for code examples on how to capture streaming data, everything that comes up is software for sale.[code]If I use this code in the "caster" app, it works just fine. But on the viewer side it fails. Through trial and error I've determined that the line that is failing is:[code]
View 8 RepliesI am trying to take a snapshot of an entire movieclip. Here is the function I am using:
[Code]...
When I pass it through the function I only get the bottom-right portion of the image. It has a centered registration point. I've tried all registration points too and the top-left (0,0) works but my project is already based around objects having a low-mid registration point: Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I just want a snapshot of the full movieclip instead of the bottom-right portion regardless of the registration point. edit: No, I'm not here to sell watermelons
I have this flash player we use to create some graphs and charts of our business performance. We use flash because we like those neat-o graphics and overall User experience.The thing is that now I need to generate snapshots (i.e. images) of those charts every Monday so I can save them to disk.Our flash player takes arguments at startup (or runtime) that specify the data we want to load and the date range, and we have LOTS of charts around.
I would like to know if there is any way to create these images in a batch, window-less process in linux. My goal would be to have a script that runs at 2am, automatically loads all the graphs say for the latest week, and creating PNG images for each. All this in one of our window-less (but with X11 libraries) linux boxes.
I have made a flash webcam application to allow the user to take a photo of themselves using a webcam. I have successfully saved the photo in my localhost. However, I would like to set the names of those photos. Currently, the photos names are generated by
$uniqueStamp = date('U');
I also have a textfield in my flash app that allows inputs from user for the photo name. For example if the user write 'MYPHOTONAME' in the textfield, the photo which will be saved in my localhost will be named 'MYPHOTONAME' too. How do I do it in Flash and in PHP? Currently I'm having some problems because I cannot send the textfield string to PHP.
Here is my flash code to send the snapshot to PHP and let the PHP save it in my localhost:
imgBA = jpgEncoder.encode(imgBD1);
sendReq.data = imgBA;
sendLoader.load(sendReq);

is there a way for flash AS3 to take a snapshot of the frame and then save it as jpeg with out using classes
View 1 RepliesI am getting really frustrated with this. I have tried a lot of things to get this to work but I CANNOT seem to get the tx and ty values to work properly with every frame. It works great for some frames, then all of the sudden it will cut off a portion of the front of another frame.
Is there any way to ensure that it will never happen again to any frame for any object? Like making the bitmap data larger than the actual sprite or something to create a little bit of padding for insurance?
Looking at how I handled the height, I still have no idea WHY I needed the +3 (because it was truncating 3pixels every time) but it works. But now I am trying to get the width to work properly and I CANNOT find anything that helps. If you can help, PLEASE DO!

View 2 RepliesI have camera input app in flash (AS3) and I draw some graphics over it. I want to take the image snapshot of the stage visible area but only the video an graphics I draw over video. I want to exclude controls from the image snapshot. My display object layout is in following relation:
-stage
--canvas (Sprite)
---video (Video)[code]..........
Stage size is fixed and I want to take a image snapshot of everything that is child of my canvas element (camera input video and overlayed graphics, but excluding controls). I am able to make this image snapshot when overlayed graphics are inside the bounds of stage size. I do it like this:
var bmpd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(canvas.width, canvas.height);
bmpd.draw(canvas, new Matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, canvas.x, canvas.y));
But this gives me unwanted result when graphics which I draw on top of video on canvas exceed the bounds of stage display area. How do I limit the image snapshot only in the bounds of visible area inside stage?
Is it possible to let flash crash without taking cs5 down with it?

View 2 RepliesI've been busting my hump the last week or so on this project for my OOP/AS3 course and this past Sunday I realized that my approach wasn't going to work so I scrapped the better part of it and started over.
Our assignment is to create an XML based flash menu that demonstrates an understanding of the OOP patterns we've just learned. It was kind of a 'test the waters' project where he gave us a ton of tutorials and information and told us to make our best attempt at making sense of it so I'm certain there are more efficient ways to do what I'm doing, but that's a moot point.
We need to employ at least two patterns in our menu, though at the moment I'm just focusing on MVC so that I can get the mainUI working before I finalize the second part of the UI. It essentially flows like so:
