I have a webcam looking out the window, and I would like to be able to access it from time to time via website.
I have never touched flash, but I know some programming languages.
I know I want to use Flash, but I have no idea where to start, and I thought this might be a good place to ask.
I've read suggest naming the stream in the FMLE to something like mp4:mystream.mp4 or mp4:mystream.f4v but then you can no longer view the stream, and according my the admin console the stream will not even publish using this syntax.
I can view the published stream if I name the FMLE stream to something like mystream.mp4 or just mystream, but then it doesn't record at all or records as a FLV file depending on how I code the main.asc file.
How can I allow Android users to watch a live stream? I've tried using the code snippet below but the video never plays on the devices. The video player comes up, they click play, an ajax spinning/loading wheel comes up but it never plays. I've tested on Android 2.3.6

I don't have my own Flash Media Server. I can however use the Highwinds CDN. They run FMS on their CDN. When you schedule a live event, Highwinds gives you two urls: the "server" and "stream name". Examples:

View 3 RepliesI'm not sure if this is the right place to post but here goes. I'm looking to stream a live webcam on my website and have no idea where to start. I've been searching for a while and various things refer to Flash Media Server but this is costly and, as I will be streaming from University, it will probably be blocked on the network or take up too much bandwidth.
Does anyone know of a way to stream a webcam, without FMS or Quicktime Broadcaster etc.? Any free websites that provide this service could be possible, so long as the stream isn't available to anyone outside my website.
I wonder if i can do the following, send a stream to fms from a webcam and then serve it with apache on http x-flv format.

View 1 RepliesI'm recording a stream from a webcam as an f4v file using FMS 3.5. The file is created in the live folder, and i can stream it back to the client no problem, however when I try to play the file in Adobe Media Player (or anything else) it won't play. I've used the f4v post processor which claims to run successfully, but with no joy.
View 5 Repliesgoal is to record a stream from a webcam with the best possible quality regardless the bandwith of the user.(it doesn't have to be live or broadcast, just stored on the server)
is it best to record from server side with asc script or directly from the flash player ?what are the parameters on the server that i can play with in order to cache locally the stream if the bandwith is not high enough ?
Server conf:
2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5410 @ 2.33GHz
16Gb RAM
2 Gbit ethernet channel
OS - Linux CentOS 5.5 x86_64
FMS4 Interactive
Live stream parameters:
320Ń…240 qua_=87 bw_=200000 kf_=5 fps_=18
So, after approximately 600 connections to one stream video becomes choppy (periodically freeze, slow motions). CPU-usage at this time is 100-120% (maximum is 800%, 100% per each core), network usage is 500 Mbit/sec.But second live stream(with few connections) at this server looks fine simultaneously with 600 connections at first stream.Experiments with recommendation in "Configuring performance features" documentation chapter(enabling/disabling aggregate messages and configure the size of stream chunks) do not help.
We have a Red5 Server that we use to host a video chat. We are looking for a way to overlay SWF files over the top of a live stream video.For example, we could overlay an SWF animation of snow falling in front of a live stream from a webcam.

View 2 RepliesHow can I 'watch' for changes in the _width, scroll, maxscroll properties other than onEnterFrame / setInterval etc. Btw. I tryed <object>.watch but found this in the AS ref:
"Generally, predefined ActionScript properties, such as _x, _y, _width, and _height, are getter/setter properties and cannot be watched with Object.watch(). "
Why do I need this? Im making a dynamic textfield with a scrollbar that will display loaded text, but here's the catch. The site is on a single frame, and has a button that uses a resizeTo() function (a Flash extension) on the textfield and changes it's _width value. So thats why I need to update these values for the scrollbar to be accurate.
i'm Creating a Game and Watch style game. Now with these games the everything works off keyframes so I've been trying to create a character that spawns in(he will first flash in over a couple of key frames, then on labeled keyframes are animations of him holding objects), then depending on a chance it will spawn either 1 or the other power up. Then you can go up to him and collect the item, he will disappear. here is some code for the idea i have for spawning, but how can i then call upon random outcomes between the two options that are 'labeled' inside the class. basical four keyframes of him flashing then four of him with a jug labeles "oil" then four of him with food labled "kabab". is it possible?

Why can't I watch youtube videos on my laptop? It's brand new. I can go to the website and the video loads just fine. It starts to play but then shortly after it quits. The monitor flickers and then goes black. I don't think it's the Adobe Flash player.

Is a watch list hidden away somewhere in the AS3 debugger in Flash CS4? I did spend a while looking around the net first. It's much easier to find the watch list in the AS2 debugger.

View 1 Repliesi have 5 submit buttons for example. When each submit button is clicked, a portion of the application is done. When all 5 portions are completed(or when 5 variables == true) I want something to happen.As of right now, on my submit buttons I am checking to see if all variables are true like so...
Code:
mySub.onPress = function(){
someVar1 = true;
if(someVar1 == true && someVar2 == true){// 3 more conditions here....
// do something
}
}
Is there a way to "watch" these variables, and when all are true do something, instead of having these conditions on my submit buttons?
