Is there some way to edit/crop a flv file and save it as a new flv with as3?
Lets say that I record my webcam to fms, access it and see that I would like the first 10 seconds to be deleted. Can I possibly do that with code?
I got some questions concerning .flv-files.
1. how do I edit an flv file?
2. how do I save a video as an flv?
How to edit the .fla file code and save it in the .swf format? I downloaded the trial version of adobe flash.I am able to see the output frame but not source code.
View 3 RepliesI'm creating an in-house application in flash for my company. I'm pulling a ton of info from a single XML file located on our server. Ten interns will be using the application on their laptops (Air 2.0). Having the data load and populate the application is not a problem. I would like them (in the application) to be able to edit an existing node value (loaded from the XML) and save it (back to the XML file) so that the XML file updates with the new value and the other 9 interns would see the change on their application.
I figure I'll need some kind of php set up, but everything I've read so far deals with creating new nodes. I need to edit and update existing node values from an existing loaded file.
Here's a very simple example of the XML:
HTML Code:
<INVENTORY>
<CODE>x1234561</CODE>
<NAME>Code1</NAME>
[Code]....
I need to build a flash application In which I load a jpg, make a selection of it (a mask or something like crop tool) and save it back. Loading the picture and making the mask are not a problem. saving the edited picture back.
View 6 RepliesMy application is almost set, load the image, made the crop, save It to a server with a php and all good until here. Now I want to drag the image, make a scale of it and for that I used an Matrix (also done).
My problem is if I scale it less then initial value, my crop is not good. Can you please take a look at my code here, because its drives me crazy and I cant figure it out.
Which is a better approach for this?
ActionScript3 or JavaScript+PHP?
Any open source tool?
After a long search, the only good example I found was this [URL] but I'd rather have a flash alternative.. Also I don't need all the extra functions such as filters.
I'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.
Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt?
I have a project that requires me develop an application that will load a PDF file, manipulate and edit it then save it as PDF file again.
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know a way to crop a SWF like you would crop an image in Photoshop? I'm building a Flash Banners application in my Flash portfolio website and I'm loading a SWF using addChild via a URL loader object. There is no way to mask the outsides of the SWF because addChild puts the SWF at the front of the display list so the masks would just show up anyway and the masks will just be huge white sheets that will look dreadful. I need to LITERALLY crop the SWF down to 550 X 325 pixels.
View 5 RepliesI have an app that allows you to save data into a database and gives you the ability to edit that data at a later date. Let's say the user saves
"Up to 90% off retail price"
Everything works fine, the % gets saved in the table etc. The problem is when they return to Flash it now reads
"Up to 90 off retail price"
All I'm doing is taking the value of the variable and sticking inside a text box, I can't see why Flash is having trouble reading that value into a text box. I am making this data into an html ready textbox.
Code:
The % can be in any of the array element values
listValues[10], etc....
Property Values Array
editedPropertyHighlights = new Array(listValues[10], listValues[11], listValues[12], listValues[13]);
// POPULATE TEXTBOX
for (i=0; i<editedPropertyHighlights.length; i++) {
_root.base_front.display_txt_6.html = true;
_root.base_front.display_txt_6.htmlText += "<li>"+editedPropertyHighlights[i]+"</li>";
}
Can I do this with flash? Save/edit text/xml server side?
View 1 RepliesSo, I've got a component that changes selected text fields case to Title, Sentence, or ALL CAPS.
Below is the code for all caps.
Code:
function fnAll(e:MouseEvent):void{
var numItems:int = int(MMExecute("fl.getDocumentDOM().selection.length"));
for(var i:int = 0; i < numItems; i++){
[Code]....
If you open a file, change the text case, then save it without doing anything else: It doesn't save the changes made with this control. If you change the case, then alter the file using the IDE (cut/paste the text, shift it, draw something and delete it, etc) THEN it saves the changes.
So it seems that the case alteration by itself is not recognized by the IDE, so it doesn't think the file changed, and doesn't actually save it.
I was wondering if it is possible to crop an swf file through a program that doesn't convert the swf to anything.I've seen a few programs like this online, but none of them actually work. Has anyone has success with this?

View 2 RepliesI have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names.

I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.

About 10 days ago I purchased a flash template for my photography business. At the time I knew zilch about flash and actionscript, so I wasn't totally aware of what to look for before purchasing it.My problem with the site is that scrolling is terrible, especially on smaller screens. My monitor is 28inches so all the pictures layout fine without having to scroll at all, but then my friends with smaller monitors told me about the scrolling problem, how it just goes straight to the bottom then snaps back to the top. My file directory has a ton of .as files, and I've looked through some of them, and even deleted some from the file directory just to see if it'd have an effect on the website. The ones I temporarily deleted, changed nothing to the performance of the website.
Then I saw that they did not provide me with the main.fla file, only the main.swf file. So, is the scroll behavior that I want to change contained within that main.fla file? Making it impossible for me to try and fix it since I don't have the main.fla file? Is that what controls all the .as files or something? Sorry for my ignorance, but web development is not my area of expertise, hence my reasons for buying a template
with the option to modify or edit a .swf file?
