I hav ea problem with recording (or even showing) the video of 2 separate webcams which are the same type, brand etc. Somehow one shows its stream and the other one doesn't.
ActionScript Code:
var widthPos=Math.ceil(Math.sqrt(Camera.names.length));
var heightPos=Math.ceil(Camera.names.length/widthPos);
var tWidth=640/widthPos;
var tHeight=480/widthPos;

i have build a small test app in Flash Pro 5.5 overlayed with the AIR 3 sdk.is has just 2 buttons to record and playback audio from the microphone. when i test this on my iPhone 3g - i record myself saying "1-2-3-4-5". but when i playback a half a second or so is missing from the beginning : "3-4-5-".
when i test this on the desktop all is fine is this a result of the iPhone 3g's cpu power or is it a bug or is it my code?

Is it possible to use 2 webcams at the same time in AS3.
View 1 RepliesI am developing an AS3 AIR application which aims to use multiple webcams, i have two logitech c615 hooked up on the usb ports, i can get one of the video streams, but i can't seem to be able to access the other cam video, Problem is I just get video from one of the usb webcams, usually the last one i connected.[code]but i never get the other cameras, is this possible?
View 1 Replieswho has ever messed around with this part of AS3 I've run into an issue with detecting the resolution of the webcams hooked up to the individual machines.
Now while the documentation on the Camera-class says that camera.height and camera.width are readable properties of that camera and also uses them as a way to find the camera's resolution in the examples, it just doesn't work that way on my end. No matter what webcam and what PC I try to use for this, it always tells me that my webcam has the dimensions of 160x120 pixels.
This is very frustrating to me since it forces me to impose a dialogbox onto the - possibly not too tech-savvy - user where they can chose a resolution that is closest to their webcam's native resolution.
I've looked around for a solution to this and came up totally dry. As IQAndreas approached me regarding this because of a twitteruser asking for the same thing, I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one having this issue.
I have developed an application on Adobe AIR which helps users take there photographs and store them. What i need to know is that i wanted to use HIGH RESOLUTION cameras as web cam .. Preferably digicams .. So does Flash AIR support using digicams as webcams ?
or what other options do i have ? I want to take very high resolution photographs in Night Mode so i need to use digicams for that ..

My webcam works great with Skype and Cheese and it used to work great with a program called FaceFlow but now when i try to use it with FaceFlow i get the following pop-up: Adobe Flash Player can't locate a camera on my computer? I have installed via Synaptic the latest version of Adobe Flash Player which is 11,1,102,63 but without any affect?
Would it be possible to uninstall the present version of Adobe and use an older version in the hope that the webcam will be recognised?"
I did a quick test of FaceFlow the other day ...... I have two webcams for testing, one is an older model and the other a uvc compatible device.
Faceflow would not recognise the older model, only the uvc camera.
Seems you have come across the same problem "
So now Adobe has pulled the plug on Mobile Flash and are pushing more for HTML5, and Silverlight has pulled the plug too, what's next for interactive video content. So if they die out (as they are currently trying to do) how do we access web cams (or even phone cams) on websites. The HTML5 Media Capture looks like it doesn't support streams only Files, so that could be out, is there any alternatives at the moment, or in the near future?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to stream images (single jpg) from webcams into a swf. I know little about actionscript, and what I have so far is from what I have found in other posts around the web. My first attempt worked, but caused a bad white flash between the image being refreshed. So from others I have learned that this will happen unless I use two movie containers and buffer in between them? Here is the code I have, and it does not work.

I want my site's users to be able to record videos straight from their webcams into my site. Videowhisper is one such tool which seems to work fine - [URL] But I'm looking for opinions on better / more scalable / reliable solutions. Paid solutions are fine.
View 4 Replieson my stage are 5 buttons, each with the name of a product. i want to be able to hover over each product and see a Description of the product with a "learn more" link at the bottom of the description. the problem is that i want the Descriptions for each product to appear in the exact same place.
if the hit area of each button covers only the button itself, you can't click the "learn more" link because it disappears when you move off the buttonif the hit area of each button covers the Description area, the hit areas overlap each other. this causes the Description to always show the same thing (i think it is the Description of the last button i added) if you are hovering over anything besides an actual button.
I've got a problem when I need to display (19.99 * 100 - 1999) on the screen. When I trace it, it will show -2.27373675443232e-13. The problem is that 19.99*100 != 1999. I can use Number(( 19.99*100 ).toString()) to get 1999 exactly using Action Script 2, but this method failed using Action Script 3.
View 3 RepliesI have decided to give XML a go, so I thought I would start with something small : ) and give creating a dynamic menu a try.
I load my menu headings using textField and I can not get my code to find out the actual length of each menu heading. It all produces 100. I wanted to get each individual lengths so I can divide it by 2 and positon that to the center of my menu buttons.
I am also try to turn my menu buttons into buttons, so I can add my eventlisteners, but it doesnt seem to work. The menu text seems to get in the way, even though I made them non selectable.
This is my XML code

Any way to get the exact position for every character inside a textflow?, also I'm having trouble with the TLF documentation, is there anny documentation that shows more on how to work with it in actionscript rather than mxml, I am looking to write my own component and perhaps not use richtexteditor if I don't need to. How to get each characters position in the textflow:
private function getCharPosition():void {
for (var i:int=0; i<=textController.flowComposer.numLines; i++) {
var textFlowLine:TextFlowLine = textController.flowComposer.findLineAtPosition(i);
var textLine:TextLine = textFlowLine.getTextLine();
trace('number of atoms in this line: ' + textline.atomCount);
[Code] .....
This returns an error that's why I have try and cache, I have tried to change textLine.atomCount to -1 but that wont work either. Now I don't know what character exactly that I have the position for.
Here's my AS:
ActionScript Code:

I have a text box called whatToClick which contains the words (copy and pasted) SWEATSHIRT. As such, that should trigger checkMask(), which checks if the clicked item is the same as the one in the text box. While running various trace commands, the string traces out exactly the same, capitals and all. But this always runs the else instead, which means the if isn't true. [URL]
id like to mask an exact shape so i can do some cool animations that are only seen over that shape.
example:
lets say i have a big letter 'P' that i made in photoshop and import it into flash. i made the background transparent and saved it as a .png file. so then i place a 'P' on stage that i want to be visible and i place another one directly on top of it to act as the mask. when i use set mask in this situation it doesnt use the shape of a 'P' is uses a box of some weird dimension.

I would like to have a possibility, where a user could draw simple lines, but with exact length (5000mm, 3150mm, 3950mm etc).where a user could just click and see the lines. Together these lines would make a floor plan for a house. These lines don't have to have thickness, because it will be just a sketch where walls are located. After user has drawn the sketch i would need the program to generate a text file with coordinates of the lines.

View 2 RepliesI have made a tween using the new tween feature in CS4. I would like the tween to end on an exact copy of the original key frame so that it will loop seamlessly but I just cant figure out how to do this. I am unable to just recreate the keyframe because the object has rotated and moved to much to. I can do this with a classic tween but cant achieve the same effect.

imagen I have a movieclip (space_mc) w1000Xh1000 px?
inside the space_mc I have 2 movieclips:
- vlak1_mc (w100xh100px, _x:100,_y:100);
- vlak2_mc (w100xh100px, _x:400,_y:400);
ok!?
now i put the space_mc on the stage and scale it to 20% the stage (document properties) are w800xh600
Now i want that the USER clicks on vlak1,2_mc and the space_mc scales to 100% But the clicked vlak(1,2)_mc must have the exact coordinates as in the space_mc?
so if clicked on the vlak1_mc!
the space_mc zooms in to 100% and the _x,_y of the vlak1_mc are x100,y100 on the stage(800x600)?
