ActionScript 3.0 :: Camera Not Working In Projector Files?
Jan 31, 2011
I've written quite a bit of code around flash's webcam and just found out it doesn't work in the projector files (standalone .exe or .app files). I figure it's a security issue? The security panel asking for access to the webcam/microphone doesn't even show up.
All works fine with just the .swf file, except for full screen mode. This project will be in a museum, so it needs to run full screen, and use the webcam to scan in drawn images on paper.
how to get the webcam to work on a stand alone projector file? Or perhaps how to get the .swf to play full screen? I still need keyboard input to be available to take camera snapshots too btw
I've published Mac projector files and .exe file from Flash CS4 for several months without issue. For the past week when I've published Mac projector files the .app icon appears on my desktop but when I try to play the file the dock opens but the file doesn't play. Any Mac projector files I published prior to this problem play fine.I've tried creating a new .fla file and have reinstalled Flash but I'm still having the problem. EXE files and SWF files play fine. Also, the Mac projector files publish at about half the file size they did before this problem, while the EXE and SWF files are the same size.
I am using flash 8 or flash mx, and I want to open a web site and some pdf files. I have my projector set to fullscreen but when I open a web site or a pdf file these files open behind my projector so my final user doesn't realize that the pdf files or the web site is displayed. How can I force the web site or the pdf file to open on top of my projector or is there a way to minimize my projector when I click these buttons so the user realizes that these files opened.
I'm making some executable / projector files in Flash CS5. Using CS4 I was able to stop the menu appearing by using flash.system.fscommand("showmenu", "false");
It doesn't work in CS5. Is it a bug? Or a feature? It's incredibly annoying - how do I get rid of the menu without resorting to an external projector program or without having to use AIR?
My project is made from multiple SWF files. I'm able to create .app from the main SWF file. Is it possible to put the related files into the .app directory structure? Where should be placed? Into .app/Contents/Resources/? Would it be possible to access these files using some relative path to this location from the main SWF?
m creating this flash file, and want to launch Firefox (c:/program iles/mozilla/firefox.exe)how the do i create a button and have it link to this?i googled it and realized that i can't call up an exe file through the web....but i got no problem with my final product being a projector file (.exe)i found this code...but for some reason it's not working for me
on (release) { fscommand("exec", "program filesmozilla firefoxfirefox.exe"); }
I have a main presentation file with 3 external movies that load into the main file. The SWF version works great. Our clients use PC's so I publish my files as windows projector files (exe). Problem is when I give them a CD of all 4 files, when they click on the main presentation file it doesn't load the external movies.[code]...
I have a projector published from Mac into two formats: Mac and Windows. The main movie loads an intro flv, and it has a button to skip which loads another swf.When I run the .app in MacOS, it works fine. The video is displayed and the button jumps to the mentioned swf. However, when running the .exe in Windows, no video is showed and the button does nothing.I think it's a path problem. I'm using relative ones, and have tried in all forms:
I have Mac Pro OSX 10.58 - CS 4 Creative Suite.I have been using Flash to produce projector files totally fine for months. However, today when I publish a Mac projector file I have come across a problem. Flash publishes a .app projector file OK, but, when I open it, it appears in the dock as if it were open but I don't see anything.
Any projector files I produced prior to today still play fine. But any projector files I have created today have the previously mentioned problem. I have tried creating a totally new FLA and publishing from that incase it was the FLA I was publishing from was to blame - same problem.
I have reinstalled Flash, but the error persists.Today I also installed new software. I installed the Developer tools because I wanted to use PackageMaker. I also installed Xray. I have removed Xray incase that was at fault - but the problem still persists.
Im using camera class in my mobile application and I used Camera.names to fill my list and i tried to pass the selected value to getcamera() method but its not working.Here s my code
I am capturing camera on flex for android using air 3.1,and found that the camera is only showing the a part of of actual camera video.When i view camera using normal camera application in android galaxy tab, it shows full camera area but when i am capturing the camera in flex its showing only the center area for it.I tried using setMode to set the resolution, but its not of any use.Is there any way to get full camera area captured inside flex using camera.getCamera ?
From 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 have a video capture device on a machine. I have written a windows application to capture the video from this device. While capturing, if i try to broadcast using flash it does not connect. If i'm already broadcasting and then try to capture then my windows application does not get the capture pin of the device. So, flash seems to be taking the capture pin. Is there anyway to broadcast using the preview pin on the device so that i can capture using my application. Or is there way where i can split the capture pin and give one to my app and one to the broadcaster
Usually Adobe Flash applications can access any usb-webcam.I have a USB camera for microscopes which understands TWAIN and DirectShow.Is there a possibility to access the video data from this camera with flash?
I've downloaded some animated .gif images. When I try to import them to Flash and add them to the libary, and then onto my animation, they don't move, just stay still like normal images. Why is this? I've seen people import things such as boats moving across the sea in .gif files and they work in flash, why aren't mine?
I have a 1900 x 1240 .swf file that has a set of buttons on each side. Each button calls for and loads a single movie into a 900 x 600 area in the middle of the screen. I haven't had any trouble setting things up so that the .swf movies, including a converted QTVR file, all load into that 900 x 600 area. One of my buttons calls for a .swf movie that contains a zoom-in and rescale - the link for how this was created can be found at Flash Zoom In Movie Clip and Rescale. The stage for this file is set at 900 x 600. When this Zoom.swf is loaded up by pressing the button, it resizes itself to 1900 x 1240. As well as being annoying, this obliterates the view of all my buttons and interface. I just can't figure out how to make it sit in the middle of the screen at a size of 900 x 600.
I have to work with arather large XML file (about 25Mo).From that XML file (which I CAN'T touch in any manner), I actually need only a couple attributes in each nodes.Parsing the whole XML to load the data will (of course) lead to a "A script in this move is causing Flash Player to run slowly..."Ideally, I would like to browse the XML, only parsing data needed (like you would do in a database...without having to load the whole database before ;-)But I think this is not possible? Isn't it?So, I was wondering: why shouldn't I treat it like a text file, reading it and taking only the info needed from the file?The problem is that I don't exactly see how to do ;-)Following is a copy paste of the first node only...how would you do to read this text and put in an array:name, cloneof and description?etecting the node name, checking that it exists(i.e 'cloneof" isn't present in each node), and filling the array with the value
Code: <game name="puckmana" sourcefile="pacman.c" cloneof="puckman" romof="puckman"> <description>PuckMan (Japan set 2)</description>
I'm trying to learn more about flash, and have found a couple of useful sites.However, I'm having trouble working out how to use their source files, and wondered if anyone here might be able to help please.url...I can't work out how to compile it - I know I need the Five3D files (url...), but even when I download that, and then create a .fla file in the same directory, nothing happens.I am probably missing something very obvious, but I can't work out what to do.There is a .fla file, but there is NOTHING in there that links to the .as file - there is no ActionScript at all I can see if the FLA file, that links to the .as file.
I have an FLA file that is one frame. ActionScript 3 code runs a few functions and when you click on things, other functions run. Pretty basic...I have some buttons and sprites that I would like to use with the external.AS file found here for tool tips: [URL] for my buttons and sprites.If I save the Tool Tip code at the thread above as 'tooltip.as', how do I use that in my FLA? Since I am using an FLA with Actions in Frame 1, I'm not using 'package' keyword... it just starts with import flash.display.Sprite; and goes on to set variables and functions. I'm not using a document class.
If I run the site locally on a web server, it works fine. BUT, when I upload to my hosted server, it stops working.I have an SWF that loads another SWF, using a relative path and as I said, this works perfectly well until I upload it.Any ideas anyone.. has anyone had a similar problem. Am using Actionscript 3 and publishing to Flash Player 10. Just so you know
So I have a project I am working on in which I would like to teach how to cash a scratch off card. I have made the scratch and made it so it will "scratch"
Before: After:
Now I have saved this out and am trying to load this into my "holder" however I am getting an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at ScratchTicket()
I am trying to debug the Flex application. I am able to set breakpoints in mxml file, and application breaks on those breakpoints. But when I set breakpoint in as files, I don't see the breakpoint marker, though in breakpoints window I am shown the line no. And when I start my debugging session, the application does not break at that point.
I had to change my global settings to be able to view my project on my local machine (clicking on index.html and have it open with explorer). Everything runs fine, locally.Videos play, music sings, everything is great.I put it online, no videos will play.All files are where they should be. I've checked 50 times and will do #51 soon.My swf does do some activex calls (this will eventually only be run locally on machines in a wrapper so its like a kiosk)
I have a page in flash 8 that I want to add a preloader to. I have a movie clip with the instance name bioLoader, and this is my code (applied to the bioLoader movieclip, not a frame):
The preloader is on it's own frame and has a stop action on the same frame. There is also a stop action on the first frame of the preloader movie clip. I'm confused because this same preloader has worked on every single other page I've added it to. Another thing is, I believe it is working, but it doesn't show up until the movie is loaded, considering it flickers when the movie plays (and the dynamic textbox shows 100%). In this same swf, I'm loading in text files with loadVars.
I have two class files that extend to movieclips......one targets _root.scrolling_mc, the other _root.messages_mc. I have multiple movieclips throughout the presentation with instance names scrolling_mc and messages_mc. This is where it gets interesting. After navigating from a scene with scrolling_mc to a scene with messages_mc, some of the behaviour of the scrolling_mc is still triggering. Its almost as if both class files are working side by side.
Ok, so here's my problem I've used the tutorial here: [URL] to create a preloader for my external images.. But i have a biiiiig problem The preloader work extra-fine with .jpegs from the [URL] but when i try to use the preloader for a file on my hdd.. and after i enable the Simulate Download feature it seems like thing go really crazy.. Because the trace actions say the jpg is loaded.. But in the main stage, it takes some time for the image to appear.. Dunno what this means, and i thought that some of you might know Here's the code
When working with MOV files using the h.264 codec and AAC sound I am unable to get netStream.seek to work correctly. No matter what argument I pass to netStream.seek it will always seek to 0. I have this problem on both a legacy as2 and a newer as3 video player I have built. Regular flv work perfectly on both players.
My company is working on a casual game which is entirely made in Flash. To speed up development/compile time we split some of it up into SWC files, for example dialog controls, cutscenes, particle effects are all controlled via SWC files. This was working great up until a few days ago, we have been working on this project for about 8 months with no major problems. However, now all of a sudden, when we compile the game, none of the SWC files work. The game compiles and runs ok, but nothing from the SWC files are working.
The strange thing is that if we remove one of the SWC files from the folder (the game reads all the SWC files from one folder) then the game will work. Even if you remove a SWC which isnt immediately used by the game it will still work. It's almost as if there is some limit to how many SWC files you can have loaded. (There are only 10 SWC files in the folder we are loading from).
