I have this code in my application:
ActionScript Code:
this.cam = Camera.getCamera();
trace("webcam:", this.cam, this.cam.name);
The problem is, the "trace" ALWAYS displays [object Camera] <camera name>, no matter if my webcam is plugged or not. How can I detect if a webcam is not plugged?
im trying to detect when a webcam fails or is unplugged.
Code:
//Get webcam on the screen
var video_vobj:Video;[code]....
this is only executed at the start and i cannot tell if the camera is disconnected during the rest of the clip.Is it possible to check the connection for the life of the clip ?
I would like to ask that how can I use the webcam in AS2 for brightness/darkness detection.I've found many topics in motion detection, but they are not useful for me, and they are too complex.hat I want is only an image with alpha level which is react with the light in the room. If the webcam get a dark image (the light are turned off in the room)The alpha of the image goes to 0
View 2 RepliesI'm currently trying to use flash8 and my webcam to do something similar to [URL] I've just started playing with camera scripts and therefore am stuck with quite alot of problems. But i decided to go on step by step. First problem i met, I am unable to display the snapshot of my webcam into a movieclip.. As in i want to take a frame of my webcam input and draw it into a movieclip.. (so i can compare with later frames to see if there is any motion.) Anyone can help me out here? What is wrong with my script? It's just supposed to take the webcam image on every enterframe and input it to my movieclip right beside my live input of my webcam.. But it appears as a blank MC..

I'm working on a school project that will work so that a webcam can scan a grid of colors and determine what color it is and there by playing a sound that is connected to that color. You can then create music by drawing different colors on a grid.
So I managed to import the webcam image to flash, and that's all. How do I Proceed?
* How do I get the webcam to detect colors? (Green, Blue, Red, Yellow and Black)
* How do I connect these color detections to start playing a sound/movieclip?
This is the code id used to import the webcam.
Code:
import flash.media.Camera;
import flash.media.Video;
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
if (camera != null) {
video.attachCamera(camera);
} else {
trace("You need a camera.");
}
I'm trying to play around with a flash scene which would only progress from area to area if there is any motion being detected by the webcam.

Is there any as3 based source code that accomplishes pitch detection or beat detection accurately? Doesn't have to be both, if you know of at least one of those,
View 4 RepliesI am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

ive got a loaded xml list for an mp3 player. from playing track1, when i select track 2, it traces "track1" but then after a second click it traces "track2" and stays on that. the actually music for track2 does load on the first click though, but not the trace. anyone know why on the first click it would still trace the previous track? here is the code for that function...
[Code]...
take a look at the results of these traces:
trace(imgGal); //traces "1"
trace(itemClip1._y); //traces "32"
trace(itemClip[imgGal]._y); //traces "undefined"
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?

var dane:Array = new Array();

I am making a game in flash, that uses several resources to build different buildings, that help you to gain resources, etc. I'm trying to make it so that the more "_global.food" you have, the faster your resources will go up. I have it so that the variable "_global.woodBoostMeter" goes up as fast as "_global.woodBoostSpeed" and when it reaches 500, it gives you 1 wood. I want it so that "_global.woodBoostSpeed" is modified by "_global.food" divided by whatever 200 is. (So that you will get resources faster for the more food you have)
Here's the code I'm using:
Quote:
_global.woodBoostMeter =0
_global.woodBoostSpeed = _global.food / 200
_global.woodBoostObtainRate =1
[Code]....
I think the problem seems to be with the "_global.woodBoostSpeed = _global.food / 200". it doesnt go up slow like it should, since "_global.food" starts out at like 200.
I am making a splash screen for a program and I have a picture in my head of a spinning sphere with pictures on it.I've already made my sphere and mapped my design onto the sphere in illustrator, although it is not as clear as I wanted.How do i get the sphere into flash and animate it to spin continuously?
View 1 RepliesThere's this flash web page Im developing. All movement is 90% written in code (as oppose to it being created via designer mode). And for some reason the frame rate of page in browser just keeps dropping. Can someone tell me what that reason could be?I am aware of the fact that framerate does change from time to time but I think that after a while it should climb back up. But in my case it just keeps dropping (by the 9000. frame its like 2 fps) and there isnt memory leak cos used memory amout by browser stays the same

how to constantly take a snapshot of a movieclip and blur it (while disposing of old snapshots)?
In the last 2 projects i've worked on, i've been using the blur filter to create certain effects.My problem is that whenever I test the movie in the Flash CS4 IDE, it crashes giving me the option to submit a crash report to Adobe before quitting.If I run the compiled SWFs outside of Flash, they perform much better and there is no crashing.
View 2 RepliesI have an array with let's say 10 items (keuzes_arr) in it and I want to put 'm on stage randomly, but every item can only be placed once. So I created a little loop, but for some reason the loop freezes constantly. This loop creates a random number, checks if it's already been used. And if not it use it to place the item on the stage.

I've taught myself actionscript without books (working on a book now, finally) and I'm wondering how to do something fairly simple: Constantly get the property of an object.... for example, lets say I want to dynamically scale a clip using buttons... if you just use the tween class it will not work! I don't know why (again self taught), but you have to constantly get the _xscale and _yscale property. Currently I'm doing this via an empty movie clip with the following actionscript:
[Code]...
It works fine, but I assume there's a purely as way to do this? Also if anyone knows of an array tutorial for microbe-brained people (like myself), that would be helpful as well. I've gone through a few, but I still can't fully wrap my mind around WHY and HOW it works (even though I've implemented plenty of arrays).
I have a couple of text fields in my Flash movie that are constantly updated with text from an xml document. The xml document is updated through an interface on a seperate swf. It's based on a flash guestbook I found and have hacked apart, and everything works fine in theory... My main worry is that over the course of a day it loaded in the text 170,000 times: 30 times a second which is a little excessive and is playing havoc with my web stats. I've cut this down to once every 10 seconds but I'm still thinking I should use a better method, would it be possible to test for changes before I load in new text, or am I going about this entirely the wrong way?
var currPage = 0;
var showAmount = 1;// set this to the amount of entries you want to view at a time

View 2 RepliesWhat i want to do this time is to make a function that calculates the speed of a moving object and then assign this value to a variable, for global use (or just make an .as class and place the function there for general use. I made the loop function that calculates the speed of the object ("ball" is it's instance name), but i cannot find a way to assign the calculation's value as the result of the function "speed" that calls the loop. Or, a way to get the value of the "v" variable constantly outside the loop function. Here's my code:

View 4 RepliesI have an array that has its values dynamically changed as a user interacts with buttons. I need to constantly check 6 index values from this array against each other so that if they are the same value they count as 1 but if they are unique they also count as 1.
E.g. IF all 6 index points = "A" I get 1 returned
If 3 of the index points = "A"
2 index points = "B"
1 index point = "C"
I get 3 returned to me
So I'm looking for a way to get a number returned to me ranging from 1-6 depending on the values.
Flash keeps looping which is causing certain variables to add values constantly. E.g.
if (userWord.text == word){
score = score + 1;
trace(score);
}
That will constantly add one to "score" when a certain word is typed into a text box. How do I add one to "score" without stopping the application or playing it once?
in my project, im loading in a external swf, its a panorama beeing the menu, the buttons on that panorama trigger, everything ok..anyway, ive got another loader for the content that the clicked buttons trigger, works out as well (after long days trying and trying).the problem now is, that loader is sending the content constantly instead of just once when clicked. this makes the flashplayer load the requested url load constantly and flooding the memoryhat d be the code (the critical part [at least i think so] starts at //WINDOW Variables):

I'm working on a new site and one of the things the client likes most is the idea of these gears that are constantly rotating on the screen. However, now that I have the mock-up design done, I'm noticing that the constant rotation requires a lot of CPU to maintain. Has anyone else experienced this and have you figured out a better method than the one I am using to rotate the movieclips?
