View 7 RepliesI have problems with webcam streaming in AS2. In AS3 I can make it visible on stage with a Camera.get call and a Video object. Because of some reasons in one of my works I have to use AS2. Can anyone provide me a working code to make visible the webcam's picture on the stage? I use the following code, but it doesn't work:
var cam = Camera.get();
//it's okay I can see the real camera name in the name property
var vid:Video;
vid.attachVideo(cam);
//... and nothing happens on the stage Why?
trace(vid) returns "undefined" Why?

I have never worked on flash - I used a developer to code a flash based webcam recorder that runs on red5 as backend. He provided me with the swf file and the source like mxml file.This recorder has 3 images and the total size of swf file is 800KB.Now when I load it on my production server - this page takes sometimes upto 10 secs to load. I'm completely lost as to what the reason is and not sure where to start debugging.I'm not sure if the problem is in the flash code or is it that red5 is taking a long time to establish the connection.

I'm totally new to AS3 and I have an upcoming project on it. It's a virtual hairstyling project but I have no idea how to get the first part to work.This is how the first part of the project goes:First, it will ask the user to take 3 pictures of themselves using the webcam (probably some buttons that says "take picture"). These 3 pictures should be saved temporarily in the flash.After all pictures are taken, it will ask user to choose one that they like the best and will proceed with the next step. And if they don't like any of it, they can take the pictures again.

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 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);

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.

View 1 RepliesHow can I alter this AS from a thread here into something where the person drags the thumbnail to a certain movieclip on the stage(say a red X), then the big actual image loads into another movieclip on the same stage. So basically instead of dragging the thumbnail to on top of the already loaded image to load the new thumbnail, the new thumbnail will be dragged to a different area (the red X) to the left of the already loaded image. If it isn't dragged and dropped on the certain area (the red X) then it eases back to it's thumbnail spot. [URL]

I made a website that does it alright on the internet on my PC, and I haven't heard any complaints from my client either, but a few hours ago I visited a friend and on his PC the website didn't work exactly as it should. So I wanted to ask all who reads this, to please have a look at this and tell me if you have the same problem or not.
The website is here
When you're on the opening page you have to press the 1st button under the pics (the word = the link), then a centered flash pop-up appears with in the upper banner the buttons of the 4 different pages. In the Arabic "gate" there should always be a text scroller.
The problems were the following:
- - On some of the pages the text scroller didn't appear, or the scroller appeared but where the text should have been there was the word 'undefined'
- - On the "wat" page, there should be a horizontal picture slider behind that Arabic gate. On the PC of my friend only a few pictures appeared, making the gaps between the pics that were shown gigantic and with variable sizes (normally, with all the pics shown, the spaces between the pics are all the same width)

I want to make a picture gallery and use buttons that move you from picture to picture and backwards, but I don't want to tell button 1 to go to frame 2 and button 2 to got to frame 3 and so on (I hope you know what I mean)Can I use on button on a separate layer with the same action set? I tried something like that, but it didn't work:
on (release) {
thisframe =+1
}

but it didn't work. I'm kind of new to any action script other than gotAndPlay, easy functions and all that.
Is there a way to take a "screenshot" of what is currently being displayed on the stage? Or even better, a part of the stage? Don't get me wrong- I know how to take a screenshot *myself*. What I want is to have an option within the *SWF* to generate a file (jpg, png or gif are all fine) of what the current stage looks like.
It sounds like a fairly easy idea / request but I have no clue how this would be done... It's for a shop (idea) where people can patch together their own design to be printed... but in order to do that, I would have to be able to generate an image of the completed design.? Am I missing something that's already integrated in Flash?

Now If you drag and drop the container movieclip its x and y will change. If you drag and drop the pictures there x and y will change. The question is, if you drag and drop the container movieclip, how do you get the pictures x and y as if they were on the stage and not inside the movieclip? Because if you drag and drop the container, its x and y change, but not the pictures because they are inside the movieclip. But if you look at them they actually do...

View 2 RepliesI use the DistortImage class by Sandy to distort an image. This works. However it shows the picture twice unless I add _visible = false; to it on the mainstage. Now I don't want it to be on the mainstage in the first place so I place the picture on the stage from the library:
Code:
_root.attachMovie("photo2", "photo6", 1);
photo6._x = 100;
photo6._y = 100;
Now I want to distort it:
Code:
import sandy.util.DistortImage;

photo6._x = 100;
photo6._y = 100;

I currently have an small animation job that involves an enormous zoom out. To do this I need to scale the symbol containing all the animation out in the main timeline, from extremely close to quite far away.
I have two problems that are preventing me from doing this satisfactorily.
Firstly, the transform panel doesn't work. Specifically, entering scale values only seems to work beween 0 and 100%, anything larger gives unpredictable results.
Second, the symbol has become too large for the work area (I have zoomed out as far as I can go) - how can this area to spread out to the whole of the graphic editing area, instead of the third of it that is on the left side?
For example, I have used the Free Transform tool and scaled the item up 2500%, and now it's too big for the limited work area. To scale it further, or scale it back, I need to enter scale amounts into the Transform panel. After doing this, the figures I enter turn into arbitrary other values and my symbol either warps or disappears entirely.
Ideally, I should be able to look at the stage itself, click on the symbol, scale it in the Transform panel to 3000% and be done with it.
