ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying/saving Webcam Snapshot In Correct Size?
Jul 13, 2010
Im sitting here with a project that i feel i have come a long way with (found some very usefull rescources). But i am stuck now and need some guideance in short terms what i am doing is a project where users can take a snapshot of them selves by using their webcams, and then save this picture.
This is all going ok, but when i save the picture its not the same size as the webcam picture. From what i can tell there is something going wrong with the bitmap creation process, and i cant seem to figure out how to add a field that i can toss the picture into like i have done with the video. (its using addchild(bitmap) now and that just adds a small picture at a given x & y, but i cant control size of it. And the saved pictures im getting are the size of the video area, but only 1/8th is filled with the picture, rest is just white..

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);

As you can see, I tried to pass in $photo = $_POST['photo']; from flash to PHP however I do not know the exact code, can anyone help me?

Using Flex, what is the recommended way of taking a webcam snapshot picture? Something along the lines of:
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
var image:Image = /* magic goes here */

Got round to the point where screen grabbing an image and saving it to file is too much, so what i want to do now, is take a snapshot of a live webcam image (I have webcam display working) and display the snapshot/screen grab, next to it or anywhere in the movie. This way the screen capture can be stored temporarily in the movie. once the movie is closed, all info is lost. Once another screen grab is taken, then the previous one is overwritten. The idea is simple but having problems working out how to do it in AS3!
I have got to the idea that i may need to use the Bitmap API to copy a section of the movie, and then redraw it into a new bitmap object?

How can i save a webcam screenshot to a website?
I know you can save it to your hard drive using:
var browseFileReference = new FileReference();
browseFileReference.save(video);
But how would i go about it to save this image to a website, lets say flickr or facebook or something.

I have a swf that lets you take a picture with your webcam , I have changed the scaleX to -1 so that the picture on screen appears like a mirror. This works fine, when I take a screenshot I am getting a bitmapdata from the video stream, which I am also setting scaleX to -1 to preserve the image the same as from the video. But now I am trying to save that picture as a jpg file, I can't seem to save the pictures as it appears, I can only save it as the original data which is essentially the wrong way around (doesn't preserve the changes made to scaleX = -1)
Code:
bitmapData = new BitmapData(this.video.width,this.video.height);
bitmapData.draw(this.video);
// at this point the bitmapData is the webcam view, but not with the scaleX I applied before
[...]
var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(bitmapData);
// so now this jpg data is of the picture which isn't horizontally flipped
How can I get a bitmapData from the video and preserve the scaling I applied to the video?

I'm new to AS3 and attempting to learn it by doing a small task, I am trying to get a live local video feed from USB webcam and want to be able to capture and save screenshots from it.I have the live feed working fine, but I am struggling to capture and save a screenshot.Someone from adobe forums suggested I should use BitmapData and JPGEncoder, which I have alongside as3corelib's.[code]I think I am doing something wrong when I am capturing the binary data, or when I am encoding it to JPG.Some assistance from somebody familiar with these methods will be a huge help as I am stuck now, and I am not getting any replies from adobe forums.Both the resolution of the videoInstance object and camera feed are 640x480, and the video is displayed fine.

I'm making a game and I need to load variables into my flash movie from a database. I'm using asp and I know it works fine because it outputs what I want. My problem is that when I try to load the data into flash, it won't let me use the variables. If I put a dynamic textfield on the stage with fname (one of my variables), the text field displays the correct data, but when I say trace (fname) with having the text field, "undefined" pops up.

I'm trying to record video from the users webcam and play it back at a later date.
I call
[Code]...
However, when I look at the FMS Admin Console at the streams in app/_definst_, their types are either "NetStream" or "Live". If they were being saved wouldn't they say "Stored"? After I close the application doing the recording, the "NetStream" type stream disappears, and after a while all the "Live" typed streams are gone too. Nothing is saved.
I have no idea what is happening. I don't know if it's a problem with my AS3 code not closing the recording properly or if I'm doing something else wrong, or maybe somethgin isn't right in the FMS?

I have a background image at 720x576px. My flash document is also set to the same. When I import my graphic and drag it onto the stage it is a completely different size?
This means I have to re-size using the free transform tool, and as I have to re-size many images for different movies that have to be exact, what is the best way to re-size them? Should my imported image not fit the stage size exactly without re-sizing at all?

I have a movieclip that i want to move when i push the left and right keys, which i have working however it when i embed this swf file into a web page the movieclip object will not stay within the stage size i set, in other words the longer i hold left the further along the web page it moves. Does anyone know a way other than [SWF(width="500", height="500", frameRate="30", backgroundColor="#FFFFFF")]
I also tried cropping the moving movieclip which did not help it just moved the smaller movieclip all over the screen in the same way.
I already set if conditions to stop the movieclip going out of bounds but it only seems to work within adobe flash player

I am loading an external swf, but when the swf is loaded, its height is correct, but it's width is not. Why is this?
"Block9.swf" is a simple MovieClip with a width of 100 and a height of 120.
But when the swf is loaded, its width output is 169. But the height is correct at 120.
Code:
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(swfLoader);
var swfRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Block9.swf");

I envision a series of photo gallery sites with certain elements that do not scale (thumbnails) and certain elements that do (the big pictures). Hopefully these big pictures will scale to be as big as possible within the available space in the browser window, but I don't want them floating over. I would like to know if the flash swf can "measure" the size of the browser window, then call the server to have the correct size JPEGs sent to flash to be displayed. That way I'm not getting a 2000 pixel JPEG for someone with a 1024x768 browser window. Dynamic scaling of bitmaps seems possible as of flash 8, but I would like to be able to measure windows to load a JPEG closer to the correct size for 2 reasons:
1. It seems like maybe it would load faster if I'm only sending the correct size JPEG to the browser, and not something significantly larger
2. It seems like once JPEGs have been scaled to less than 50% of their size in Flash, they tend to exhibit anti-aliasing artifacts that are undesirable.
It won't be me doing the programming, but I like to have some sense of what the possibilities are and I try to speak at least a little of the language of the programmers.

if for example I'm creating a scene with falling snowflakes. In the movieclip is there a way of correctly knowing which area of the main scene you're working in? Or is it just a case of creating the movie, then returning to your scene and placing in where it's appropriate?

I have been having a bit of trouble with AS3 and webcams. I have a script that connects to a webcam and then sends its output to a php script that saves the captured image. This works all except for one problem. It seems that the maximum resolution allowed for the actual Camera object is 320x240. I went to the extreme of hooking a Canon 60D up as a webcam because I have a normal webcam that is supposed to have max resolution of 1280x720 and all I can get is a 320x240 image from it. What I have found so far is the max I can get out of the Canon is also 320x240. Maybe I have been looking at this to long but I am stumped. Below is a sample of the action script where videoCapture should be 1024x768. What happens instead is a 1024x768 image is created with a black background and in the top left is a 320x240 image from videoCapture. I could obviously resize this but that would defeat the purpose being poor quality. Is there something I am missing here or maybe some limitation of Flash even?

in AS3 we use somthing like this to save image from SWF:
<AS>
import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData (sketch_mc.width, sketch_mc.height);
jpgSource.draw(sketch_mc);[code]....
Is it possible to save this sketch_mc in a larger size? Suppose its dimensions are 200x200 can we save it to 1000x1000 or something like that?
