Actionscript 2.0 :: BitmapData And Local Vs Remote Images
Feb 27, 2012
I am creating an interactive post-it for an upcoming event that allows for us to tap into a sql database and post tweets, survey answers and images. We've already tapped into the Twitter API and the survey, so those are A-OK.The problem lies within loading the images from a location other than the local interactive board's server.If the image itself is locally hosted, it loads just fine.If the image is hosted elsewhere, the image will not load, even though I have a trace on the URL of said image.I'm loading all tweets, surveys and images through an XML load and all the data is loading properly.I AM loading the image through a smoothing filter so that when the "post-its" are slightly rotated, they are not jagged. Here is THAT code:[code]
This is a two part script where the bulk loads in the image and places it into an empty movieclip, then adds the smoothing filter. The second part is a resizer that automatically resizes the image and keeps the aspect ratio.When I test the flash piece (not embedded in HTML) the thing works 100%.As soon as I put the swf into an html and view it on a web page, the remote images will not load.I'm a bit stumped on why this is, could this be a firewall or security issue? Because I work in a high security firewall environment.
I have had an SWF running on a HTML page since early 2008, and this SWF pulls down some images from another server - subseqently displaying them for the user.The SWF uses BitmapData to smoothly display the loaded JPG images.However, since the 10.1 update, this no longer works - everything gets drawn blank (when the bitmapdata's .draw() method is invoked).I must point out that this has been working fine for years before the 10.1 update, and the security setup has also been done correctly (the image server has the crossdomain.xml file, and the local SWF file has the relevant Security.allowDomain settings in place).Has anyone else experienced this, or know of a fix? This is driving me nuts, many of our clients who have this SWF in place on their website can no longer see the images after updating to 10.1.
I have a flash app based off the Screen shot maker found here: [URL]
Creating a screen shot from an flv on the same server works fine, but when I try to load the contentPath from a remote server the video plays fine, but the .jpg generated in the PHP file is blank with a white background.
Here's the ActionScript:
PHP Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData; vid.contentPath = flvurl; var vidid = vidid;
I'm developing an android file by using flash cs5 air extention. I know the basic crossdomain policy and server to server connections. And I searched many pages but there is no solution about this.
My "container.apk" loads "external.swf" from the server.. And I want to be able to reach the variables and functions in "container.apk" from "external.swf". But I can't reach any function on my container (application file .apk) from my external module swf (remote file).. I mean, I'm trying to reach container.apk's functions from the loaded swf. Like when a button clicked on "external.swf" it should effect a function in "container.apk".
Especially in the case where there's multiple swfs (wrapper & content), and then lots of child classes within the content swf, how do you handle pathing changes between testing locally versus deploying live?I've used a few different methods ('DEBUGGING' Boolean with path variables changing depending on true/false; config.xml file loaded with pathing defined within), but all seem the have weaknesses that make it a real pain to workwith/around....especially when you're using the same swf in multiple places and the pathing is all relative to the HTML page that embeds it. :/
Goal: to make possible to make requests from flash running on local protocol (widget://, file://, chrome-extension://) without any special permissions on [URL]
Supposed solution: proxy swf file loaded in page with widget:// or file:// or chrome-extension:// protocol which loads into itself swf file located on http server. local swf bridge conects its own external interface to http swf file external interface.
This solution used in youtube movies, so you can embed any youtube movie into local page and it will be shown and played fine;
At the end we can get working soundmanager2 [URL] opened localy (file:// protocol), which can load and play music and video from internet. I need proxy for this version [URL]
Some relative [URL] How do I call a Flex SWF from a remote domain using Flash (AS3) ?
I need this to play music in opera extension (using widget:// protocol) for my project [URL] to let users play music without setting up special permissions
I have this situation (simplified): MC-A.swf opened from local computer (C:/) and loads MC-B.swf which is hosted on a server. When MC-B.swf is loaded, it tries to access file called "loader.swf" which is also on local computer (C:/).
When it tries to access the "loader.swf" I get the following error message: *** Security Sandbox Violation *** Connection to file:///C|/loading.swf halted - not permitted from [URL] -- Remote SWFs may not access local files.
I read discussions concerning this issue, and as I understood, I could use: System.security.allowDomain("[URL]"); to solve this problem, but it didn't work. I wouldn't like to change the loaded file to load it's resources also from the web, since it can find them on the local machine.
lod.load(new URLRequest(str2));how to unload the lod when second time i cal that function.how to over come this (*** Security Sandbox Violation ***SecurityDomain )
I am having no success playing a short FLV through a SWF on my hosted web site. The video plays without problem on my local PC. This problem only occurs with SWF and HTML created with Flash CS5. With Flash CS3 the problem does not occur. The only difference I see between CS5 and CS3 files is this: There is a file called AC_RunActiveContent.js created with the SWF and HTML through CS3. But that file does not exist with the SWF and HTML created through CS5. Since the video plays on my local PC, I assume that AC_RunActiveContent.js is not required for newest version of Flash player. My web host provider assures me that MIME settings are correct and Window 2005 is the operating system. I am at my wits end trying to determine the cause and fix for this problem. Please give me some advice for resolution.
I have a problem when i try to access the internet from a swf that is run localy.I want to load other swf files from diffrent domains into my main file wich works fine when the swf is on some domain but when i download the file and run it localy it doesn't work.
Can i change the sandbox type from actionscript? Mochi Media does it after enctypting your swf but i don't know how.
I have a flash file located on a web server. When it's loaded, I want it to access the user's PC and display some data (such as file directories, files, etc)I know there are security rules about what a flash player can access, but so far all I can seem to find are rules regarding local flash players accessing the internet, but not much on the other way around, or how do go about doing that.
The image is already held locally on the client PC and it is an Air application. The image is not embedded, it is in the Application Storage directory.
I have seen this question: How can i get a BitmapData object out of a File object from a local jpeg file in AIR? but it uses URLRequest which I don't think is what I need because the file is local.
I have a webcam script that takes screenshot when you click the snapshot button. Now I would like people to have another button to upload their photo on the server. How can this be done?
import flash.display.BitmapData; mycam = Camera.get(); vid.attachVideo(mycam);// vid is videoobject on stage bitmapData = new BitmapData(160, 120, true, 0);
I'm working with a video in Flash where I am capturing each frame and testing the color of a single pixel. I'm using it to determine when a white/transparent background changes to be a color. The following AS2 code works flawlessly when I preview it in Flash and on my desktop in the browser (the direct SWF and placed inside HTML using SWFObject) but as soon as I upload it to my server it fails and produces "FFFFFF" continuously regardless.
this.onEnterFrame = function()[code]..........
There is no difference in the files; they are both pulling from the same video source (hosted on an Flash FLV server).The only difference is one set of files is hosted on my local computer and the other is hosted on my web server.
In Flash user can give permission to localhost and even local html file to access remote webservice.I fail to see the same thing for Silverlight which is a nightmare for testing on local pc.
the flash4 published set of files, with a variety of skins tried, works well on the local drive, even when moved to a different folder structure. when index.html is opened on the remote web site, the browser (firefox3 and ie7) displays the player conrols and a rotating horizontal barber pole, green and black, but no flash video.some of the skins i've used are: SkinOverPlaySeekFullscreen.swf, nOverPlayStopSeekCaptionVol.swf and SkinUnderPlay.swf. all work locally but do not play the .flv file on the web site. no problem playing flv movies on the remote web site if the file set is created by dreamweaver.
of a complex question to me, but it's coming from an absolute beginner and it might be considered a stupid one, that's why I posted here...I've kind of been dropped in the deep end with this task and I can't get it right... I have a company's organisational chart in flash where it loads in each person's name dynamically for their department and when you click on it it brings up their CV information such as name, qualifications etc. This is loaded into a dynamic text box. I can test it locally with an xml file and then switch back to the online version.The local version I check by switching to "strXMLpath = "organisation.xml";" where things are laid out as follows:
I have created a simple site in Dreamweaver, I have uploaded the site to a remote server and everything is great but for one thing. I have inserted a Flash image viewer that should show a selection of images, it works fine when launched from Dreamweaver into a browser window such as Firefox. However if I access the site using its domain name and recieving from the remote server no images/slides play.
I have done several things to try and rectify this. Made sure the images are in the root folder. entered 'base' and '.' in the parameters and made sure all image names start with a lower case (linux) and it still doesnt work.
I am loading images from a remote URL using the following code so that I can smooth and add colour effects to the bitmaps.The code is courtesy of this guy's nice example:
Code: import flash.display.*; function loadBitmapSmoothed(url:String, target:MovieClip) {
I've been handed a few Flash files written in CS4, but in ActionScript 2. I know enough ActionScript to be dangerous, but I am far from a Flash developer.
At the high level, the Flash file loads an image, rotates a portion of the center of the image, and allows the user to drag the rotated piece into the proper position (solving a puzzle, basically).
This worked GREAT when the images were loading from the local server. We've changed to remote cloud hosting for the images, though, and now are experiencing issues.
The images still load (we have all of the security and cross-domain policy files in place), but any time we try to rotate the center portion of the image we get a plain gray box instead of the rotated portion of the image.
What's weirder is that the rotated image portions show up fine in the IDE Flash player. But when viewed through a web browser the static portion of the image will load, but the rotated portion will not.
I've built a simple webcam snapshot application - a user uses webcam to take a picture which is saved in a folder. All pictures are saved in same folder and now i have to display three latest images on a flash banner that is located in another server. With PHP, i managed to sort the pictures in an array from latest to oldest and dislay them on the a website. Now i have to dipslay three of the latest images on the banner and not sure how to pass this information to the Flash banner? All i have to do is to pass the path of the three latest images and load them into movieclips. Any tips where to start?
Trying to load remote images into a flash sideshow local files work even if I use absolute path. I am updating existing gallery to dynamically pull images from Picasa.The php works fine and pulls the images from the API. But when I pass the XML to flash it wont load remote images. to ActionScript but it still wont work. The scrip for the sideshow is:
System.security.loadPolicyFile("http://photos.googleapis.com/data/crossdomain.xml"); System.security.allowDomain("*"); MovieClip.prototype.addProperty("onLoad", function () {
The code below is simplified for example I'm developing an AIR application (using Flex) which loads several of its images from a remote web server. The images display fine, however, whenever I'm manipulating the containers which hold the remotely-loaded images, I get errors in my console:
[Code]...
The images don't seem to be affected, but I don't like having errors displayed that I don't understand. Here's a sample app that exemplifies the problem:
I want to understand something if it is possible to do it in flash movie. I want to make flash animation with let say 4 pics. The animation will be used as an advertisement on other sites. But I want the images in the flash movie to be changed from time to time. Thus I want the images to be loaded from my server while the movie is been shown on other sites. I want to know if this is possible in flash.
I have created an application where on button click it has to load an image to a movieclip.
It worked fine in my local system, but when I uploaded it to the server, the image loads late and thus the animation is missing and is causing problems.
how to load image from the library attached to the movie.
I know it can be done with attachMovie, but its not working for me.
I'm scaling down images loaded from as3 and I want them to stay sharp. They are scaled because I have a liquid layout which resizes a "body" movieclip that contains the images (loaded from xml).
I used code from here to scale bitmap, but I don't really understand it. [URL]
My biggest problem is that since the images are loaded as displayObjects rather than bitmaps, I need to know how to change the bitmapData of each displayObject.
Second problem is that I need the code the change the data, but not scale it down also(it is already scaled down). How do I do that?
Here is my attempt...
Code: //code is executed when image is first loaded (I don't care if it is resized afterwards) //thumb is the displayObject that is my image
