Is it possible in flash to get a specific frame in a flv video as a bitmap or an image.?
i saw an example of it online but as the comments said it didnt work and some said that its not possible.
i have a pb of memory leak:i using flash.media.video to read video i have function to do frame by frame:FrameBuffer is an Array containing my video frame, lastimg is Bitmap object

Use the flash CS4 tool's on a bitmap image after tracing the bitmap image and applying my settings?
View 10 RepliesI'm implementing an Augmented Reality application for android using Flash. In order to get the application working on my Android Phone (nexus One) the Phone Camera must be activated as well. So I need 2 layers one for the background which is the feed of my phone camera and an other one on top of it which is the view from away3d in this case.So setting up a BitmapData object to hold the information of the most recent webcam still-frame I can make this work.
If I use papervision3D library and FLARToolkit we setting up the BitmapData using the following part of the code found from this video tutorial:
//import libraries
import org.libspark.flartoolkit.core.raster.rgb.FLARRgbRaster_BitmapData;
import org.libspark.flartoolkit.detector.FLARSingleMarkerDetector;

how do i export specific frames not all frame. ex: if flash has 1 to 200 frames. here i want to export 51 to 150 frames as a movie. if there is any command or plugin to export movie like this.

View 1 RepliesI have two layers namely topLayer_mc and bottomLayer_mc. The actual vector drawing is drawn on the top layer and onmouseUp of the tool, a bitmap copy of the vector graphics on the top layer is taken and added as a bitmap to the bottom layer. The top layer is cleared subsequently. It is working for the pencil tool.Now I need to create an eraser tool. This is where things get tricky. In the application there is an option to save the image as png, so alpha has top be preserved. So the coventional method of draw a brush using the vector and using the draw method of bitmap will not work. Of course, on a visual level it would work if the brush drawn using the vector is to have the same color as that of the background.
What I need is to excatly erase the pixels.Now I have created a brush tool using the conventional technique and clearing is possible but what I need is to exactly erase the pixels. Is there some technique to draw this ? This is the code that I am using: I have also uploaded the swf and source code, When trying out, please draw all over the stage using the pencil (press Pencil button and start drawing)The source fla is also provided.
I am creating an app with flex for recording a video and i want to capture the first image of the video recorded, by now i use the following function in order to capture the first image but its rather slow
private function capture():void
{
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(videoDisplay.width, videoDisplay.height);

and i would like to get the first frame of the recorded video as a thumb after it is recorded
i need to change the colour of a graphic in a specific movie in a specific frame. if i have a movie clip instance-named "sidetext" thats 15 frames long, and i want a graphic in the movie, called "letterp" to change to one of four colours that i want it to randomly at frame 10 and stay that colour uintil frame 15, how can i do this?

I want to draw some combination of bitmaps, flash shapes, vectors, text etc and draw them programmatically into my movie using ActionScript, and then get every "rendered" pixel of my movie (at 100% view) into an array that I send to another program over TCP/IP. The first part of the question is if its possible to render a frame that is a collection of Flash elements as a bitmap? I know that I can iterate through a bitmap and get every pixel using the getPixel method but I'm trying to access the final rendered frame displayed on my screen, including, as I said Flash shapes and text.
The second question is what would be the best way to send this "video frame" over TCP/IP? Would I use an XML socket connection? That is the only way I know how to send data out of Flash over TCP/IP but I don't know if it is the only way - the help page says the data needs to be formatted as XML, which seems unwieldly for this application. I'm doing this now by using Max/MSP/Jitter to do a screen capture the size and location of my Flash movie and then send out the resulting matrix using a "jit.net.send" object (which lets you send frames of video over TCP/IP), but this is too clumsy for the installation I am building.
What I would like to do is to take a loaded GIF file as a Bitmap and then distort it by stretching and shrinking parts of it, so it would look like it got squished up against the screen. I'm pretty sure that there's no easy way in Flash to go beyond scaling and shearing, but I wonder if there might be some simple techniques to accomplish this kind of effect. By the way, I've also thought of pre-deforming the images in GIMP and saving them there, but I can't find a simple way to do it without learning their scripting language.
View 1 RepliesI've been tasked to write a chat engine in actionscript3 (AIR) and every chat message has an image of the poster associated with it. So I have 5 chat messages on the screen at any one time but it will be obvious that the images associated with message e.g. #1 changes all the time because the last person posting is different.
What I believe is wrong is to use the .addChild method every time I need to replace the image because it will just keep creating more stuff on the stage. What I tried to do is the code below but it refuses to update the image. The way I thought it should work[code]...
I want to "Test Movie" to get a feel for what my animation looks like as a SWF file but I want to test it from a specific frame. My reason for this is that normally if I go to Test movie, I have to watch my entire animation from the start when really, I might want to test it only to see if a certain part works. And I do realize there is the "play" option in the timeline using Enter but that doesn't have the same effect as Test movie.
Is there any way of testing a movie from a specific frame?
I am building a flash image gallery which calls on xml to load the images and captions - so far so good... My problem is that I want the top node to tell the flash movie to go to a specific frame...
View 2 RepliesI want to convert bitmap data to an image file like jpg or png file in AS3.
View 1 RepliesI am making a snow boarding game in AS3. The problem I am having is that I want to leave a trail in the snow behind the board.
I have had a think and feel that the best way of achieving this would be to use the lineTo() method to draw a line form the snowboards previous position to its current position. If I do this all of the way down the slope I would end up with a line almost 23000 pixels long which seems extremely large and will have a major impact on performance.
If I were to convert the trail movieclip to a bitmap would it improve performance? I am targeting a minimum of flash player 9 which I have found to have issues when handling bmp's over 2880 pixels so I think this method might not work.
In Photoshop there is a tool that lets you adjust the levels of an image. I'd like to be able to do the same thing. I've seen examples online that show the levels but they are for each individual color channel (red, green, blue or alpha or CMYK) but not a combined view like in Photoshop Input Levels (see below).Also, as a bonus is there a way to find the best shadow and highlight input level settings, basically the settings the Auto level button determines?Update:I think I'm closer but I'm not sure. Here is the method I pieced together. The first image is my results and the second is Photoshop results both analyzing the Google logo:Update 2:Ok I think I got it. The code is below. It's mostly working all the time, mostly. Additional credits:Photoshops results:

View 1 RepliesIt there any way of displaying videos on a website that would allow me to show just a clip of a video without physically slicing the file into actual clips? Specifically, I'd like to play the clips using an open source flash player. I could make specific clips, but that is time consuming and a maintenance nightmare.youtube won't work because it is very important we be able to control who views these videos. Also, this web application is running off of a classic LAMP stack.
View 6 RepliesI'm making a flash movie and I'd like to load a background image into my SWF and paint it to the stage using the Bitmap and BitmapData classes. Am I approaching this properly?

I've never understood the BitmapData/Bitmap metaphor, explanations, code samples and tutorial links.
View 1 Repliesi've created a full spectrum color wheel Sprite object that is composed of 1440 vector triangles, or slices if you will. since i want to animate the color wheel, i've activated the display object's cacheAsBitmap property. however, caching the vector as a bitmap does not increase performance during animation it remains slow, jumpy. importing a PNG screenshot of the color wheel into the library with lossless compression, converting it to a Sprite, and rotating this new image asset performs great during animation. why does an uncompressed PNG image asset import out perform the same vector image with cacheAsBitmap property set to true?
View 1 RepliesI am currently working on a flash website that has several flv videos on it. Since the website layout has a slight tilt, I have had to transform the videos to slightly tilt as well. The problem that I am having is that when I do this the image becomes very pixelated and the edges of the video become jagged. I have somewhat fixed the edges issue by making a mask around it but i really dont know how to make the resolution better, or what causes it to loose resolution when slightly transformed. The size of the videos is the same as encoded. All I do is tilt them upwards on the right side a bit.
View 1 RepliesI am using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.
I need to load an external movie file into the root of my main movie, so it replaces the main movie, and when it loads, it loads at a specific frame (or label)of that newly loaded movie.
Explanation: My main movie, lets call it "Main.swf", has a button which is part of a drop down (tree) list. When you click on the button, I want to load my second movie called "bearings.swf", and to immediately go to frame #2 of the "bearings.swf" movie.
I'm unable to make it work :Flash exports the first frame in the SWF file as a PNG file, unless you mark a different keyframe for export by entering the #Static frame label.When publishing the fla, the png is build from the frame that is currently displayed in flash (if my timeline is at frame 3, frame 3 get exported)
