ActionScript 3.0 :: Use DisplayObject In Flash.media.Video
Mar 23, 2012
I am working on a project where I would like to use an externally retrieved DisplayObject instance as a flash.media.Video instance. The DisplayObject is a Flash wrapper of a streaming video that provides a set of API calls to interact with the video. But I don't have access to the internal video object itself nor to the netStream/netConnection property of the video. Is it possible at all to somehow use the DisplayObject as a flash.media.Video?
I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.
I'm trying to make a software which sends video and audio data to a flash media server by using RTMP protocol. Currently, my program can communicate with a flash media server correctly. RTMP specifications does not describe about the raw data in video/audio messages, so I muxed raw H.264 and AAC data into video/audio messages and sent to the server. The server seems to accept them, but a video player cannot playback the stream sending from the server. The player just says "Loading..." For a test purpose, I sniffed the network packets between Wirecast and the flash media server and ripped off only video and audio data. Then, I muxed those data into video/audio message and sent to the flash media server. In this case, the video player connected to the server can playback the stream correctly.
I checked the stream sent from Wirecast, the stream seems not to be H.264 raw data because those data are not started from 0x17 instead of H.264 start code. With those situation, I am wondering what kind of container format I should use for H.264/AAC data to the flash media server.
when i try to live stream with FMS! I can stream video with Flash media live encoder to the server but when i create the player to recieve the livestream from server,i can not recieve the live stream,can anyone give me a step by step tutorial of how to do it?
I'm looking to duplicate the video-embedding technique shown on [URL], whereby they show the flash video to all platforms where flash is available, and only show the HTML5 player on mobile devices. (specifically, iphone / ipad)
Is there a browser-sniffing framework, or some other method available to accomplish this?
Flash media server 3.5 to stream live video to a webpage with flex GUI embedded in it.For this I have used Adobe flash media server start screen .I could able to stream video correctly.I want to know how long it could be do like this.ie suppose I have to stream like this for 3 or 6 months
As titled, what is the way to record video/audio files using Flash Meida Server through rmtp, and allow users to access the recorded files through http?What I am trying to do, is to record a user's microphone's input and save it to the server.fterwards, I would like other users to be able to access the recorded files and mainuplating the audio data, by computeSpectrum(), to do some visualization of the audio. As I know computeSpectrum() cannot work on streaming files, so I think I need to access the recorded files using http instead of rmtp. Is that true?
I want to have a website where users can record short video clips (using a webcam) and then have those videos saved on the FMS for viewing later. I've seen a lot about streaming video, but I actually want to save the video.
Is there a way to get video thumbnails from Flash Media Interactive Server (FMIS) without using client side action script. Bascially we want that we dont have dependency on Flash for displaying thumbnails from FMS but when a user clicks on one of thumnails then Adobe Player streams that video from FMIS.
need some help in recording the H.264 video using Flash media server 3.5, does anyone have working experience (or) any idea about H.264 video recording with the Flash player. I am trying to publish the stream using the netstream.publish(mp4:streamname.mp4); but the video codec id of this recorded video is coming as H.263, hence I tried to record the video in H.264 format.I am using logitech webcam for capturing the video.
Do i need to install anyother codec plugin for h.264 support?
I'm having trouble to resize my custom UIComponent that wrap flash.media.Video object (The reason I choose this way is because mx.control.VideoDisplay doesn't support streaming playback that available in flash.media.Video that is attachNetStream()). Once I create a 320x240 Video size and remove it from its parent, I can't replace it with another one, bigger or smaller.Here's my code (this one only capture Camera not NetStream).
i'm having problems trying to play FLV videos on demand from Flash Media Server 3.0.1.
Sometimes the video doesn't show at all, sometimes it plays the audio only, and sometimes it works perfectly...i can't figure out why.
Videos are into the applications/vod/media folder, i'm using a MediaDisplay object to load them, and i've exported the SWF as a Flash Player 7 AS2 application.
Code: Select all // m is the mediadisplay object m.setBufferTime(10); // file will be passed as parameter
[Code]....
as you see, the server is in my local network, but i've tried with a public remote server too, with the same results.
I am running Media Server 3.5.2. The server is still non production. I copy video files to webroot/vod/video.flv. From the client workstation I attempt to access [URL] and get nothing. It was my understanding video's copied here could be viewed as such.
I had an flv recording from a webcam.It mostly recorded fine, but there's one point where I paused the broadcast for an intermission.A few minutes later the broadcast started again but the video doesn't play beyond that point, only audio plays.A few minutes later in the recording the broadcast switched to another camera and the video starts playing again just fine from there.I can't seek past the frozen point either to skip a couple of seconds ahead.The freeze is at about 9:00.If I seek to 9:01 it jumps ahead 8 minutes to where the camera switches.What's strange in this is that the video is *definitely* in the file.Using Moyea's FLV Editor Pro I converted the FLV to an MPEG and the whole video is there, so it's not that the camera stopped transmitting, it's just that the playback isn't working.
Is the Flash Video (or Flex VideoDisplay) component capable of seeking to an exact moment in a video?It seems to always 'snap' to keyframes (which is understandable). I'm just wondering if there are any mechanisms in the video classes for seeking to exact frames, ie it should do the translation from keyframe to specific frame in the background rather than having to actually play the video forward to the desired frame.This is not a streaming file and has nothing to do with buffering. The player is just downloading a movie file from the web and playing it from memory.
I am looking to broadcast live video and need a camera that is better than a simple webcam. It looks like they used to make video cameras that would register as webcams, but stopped making them.If you wanted to broadcast an event live, what would be a good camera to use?
We'll be streaming a live basketball event next month and we always get asked about showing the game clock with the video.We have two cameras one can capture the game and the other capture the game clock. Is there a way to overlay the game clock video on top of the game video? Has anyone done any similar sporting events that can offer any suggestions and/or best practices?This will be our first live Flash Streaming event, we've used Windows Media in the past and just switched to Flash Interactive Media Server 3.5
I have a 10 second Intro video that I would like to play before each main video plays. The videos are streaming through FMS 3.5. At the moment I have to attach the intro to the start of the main videos and render out in Premiere Pro CS5 Ideally I would like to set it up so that the intro starts for the 10 seconds and then auto switches to the manin video. To show an example of what I need to do here is a link to an Archery site ( I also do archery as a hobby and noticed this)[URL] If you click on any of the 8 parts for either day 1 or Day two, you will notice a couple the 5 second intro screens and it then automatically goes back to 0 to start the main video.
I'm developing a video player for Pure IP multicast video. I'm using the Multicast Configurator provided with FMS 4 for generating the configuration. This is the manifest file generated: <manifest xmlns="[URL]"> <id>Multicast_IP_Multicast</id> <streamType>live</streamType> <duration>0</duration> [Code] .....
That's not working. And I have several doubts about it: 1.- It's not working, and I don't know where is the error. I'm not sure what I should add as parameter in GroupSpecifier constructor? GroupSpecs from manifest file?? "com.adobe.pureIPMulticastGroup"??
2.- I've been watching the multicast.as application in FMS4. The only way of publishing multicast streams in FMS4 is using the configurarion from Multicast Config Tool? Is it possible publishing a stream without the GroupsSpec generated by the Config Tool?
3.- If It's mandatory using the config tools for managinf the pure ip multicast. I would like to integrate the Multicast Config Tool in my platform. Is there any place where I could get the code of Multicast Config Tool? Any documentation about how to build it? This component have any flashvars or callbacks that could allow me integrate it in my platform?
I have purchased flash media server and I'm looking for a way to have people record video off their webcams and have it saved to the FMS. How to do this?
I'm using flash to design a basic website.Within that website I want to place a .flv file. Everything works fine in preview mode and test movie mode.The problem comes when I puplish to the web.I'm just using flash to publish which puts all the files in a folder.IN previous attempts, once I load those files onto a server it does not play the .flv file.The .sfw skin will show up but the general .sfw file for the project doesn't seem to be finding the .flv file.And yes, I'm uploading the .flv file to the server.Is there something wrong with the html code that it can't find the .flv file?I can replicate this problem on my desktop by moving the .flv file out of it's project folder.Once I do that and then click the .html file the page will load but it won't find the video file.It's like it can only open that file if it's in the original project folder and the folder doesn't get moved.
I am a professional video editor specializing in corporate video and occassionally TV commercials. We often post "review" videos in Flash format to our website for our clients to check progress, etc. These videos are usually around 3 minutes in length and occasionally reach 20 minutes Trt. We use Adobe Production Premium CS4 which includes Flash CS4. I usually export the videos at the included preset, "Web Large Widescreen". The playback is almost instantaneous on most DSL and T1 connections. I use the "Full Screen" option button and when the videos are viewed full screen, they look amazing.
Here is the issue: I have recently created a video for a client that contains text and is approx. 50 minutes in length. The video format is 4x3 and the client wants the transcoded Flash video to display at a 640x480 square pixel dimension. The video plays fine over most DSL connections. It chokes on T1. Question: Can streaming Flash video provide better quality and playability for longer duration Web videos? Could any of you direct me to a chart that compares streaming Flash with the "simulated" streaming typically exported from Premiere CS4's Media Encoder?
I am trying to capture video from my webcam to a video display. I created a button on my main application and it gets my webcam just fine. When I try to use the same code inside a class I created it does not work. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Here is my code to capture the webcam.
I have supplied several progressive download flash videos to our web site programmer. Our web site is in PHP. All videos play well except for one thing: I would like them to start automatically. How do you change that? One the server, he added the Clear_Skin.swf, FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf and flvProgress.swf files. Are those the ones that control the autoplay action?
We are deploying a media management system within a local network. FMS will be used to serve the media within the local network. Since we will only have max 100 users and we have a powerful dual 4 core xeon and the plan was to install IIS and FMS on the same machine. But now I read that there will be a conflict because the embedded Apache server that FMS installs will fight for port 80 with IIS.
So one possible solution: I've been reading in the Adobe docs that RTMP is far more efficient than tunneling through HTTP, so if we make sure all client machines allow RTMP (firewall exception) can we then change the configured Apache port and assume that Apache will never ever be used?
Heck in this case can we configure FMS and choose not to install Apache at all and be OK?
