I have created a flash e-card for the organization I work for. This will be passed to another web company who will allow users to upload images that will then render in the card. What parameters do I need to write in this section
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="">
The user will upload there image and it will appear in the ecard.
Basically im building a flash based drum head designer for users to upload their own image, resize, add text etc, then it be uploaded to a web server when they complete the purchase.
I have all the server side part working, able to send a 2800px square image and compress it into a 1.5MBish jpg.
the problem im having is for the user to upload an image into flash. I've seen prototypes where it uploads the image to the server, then flash loads that image, then upoads the completed one, but this uses alot of transfers.
What I hoped to achieve is something similar to the system on the [URL] website where the image is stored in the cache first. I have spent hours looking for resources on importing user images into flash without uploading first.
I want to create a custom video like the videos on jibjab, i.e allow a user to upload an image of their face and superimpose this onto a video of a character's face.
View 1 RepliesThe purpose of this is too allow a user to upload an image from their machine to be displayed on a website. The code's pretty straight forward and i have it all working fine, but have come across an issue. When certain portrait images are selected to be loaded and displayed, they get rotated at some point in the process and become landscape? There doesn't appear to be any consistency to the way they are rotated. Some are clockwise, some counter clockwise.
The one thing i've noticed though, is that it doesn't appear to be an issue with images that have been re-saved (so simply taken into photoshop and then saved without any modification), only images that are the original source of an image taken by a digital camera? This has got me wondering whether there's a possible issue with flash reading the meta data of the source image? The attached zip file contains the source code and swf, a selection of images from 2 different camera's and a modified image.
Just to note, due to the dimensions of the images, in the source code the bitmap is scaled to 0.1 so that the result can be clearly seen. I've tested this without the scaling and the image still gets rotated. There's a trace in the Event.COMPLETE handler of the Loader.loadbytes() method and you can see from this that the width and height of the loaded image have been switched? Note - due to the size of the zip file (4.6MB) because of the images, i've put them up on my server for download instead.[URL]
Is it possible to calculate sha256 hashes in the browser using the user's video card, eg. by using WebGL or Flash?
I'm afraid this is all there is to ask, but if more elaboration is needed
EDIT: Reworked my code a bit and decided to throw out URLLoader in favor of the ile.upload() method.Now I'm stuck again >_<Here's the code I currently have, stripped down to bare-bones:When I drag-drop image files onto my app, here is the trace log that gets returned to me:
[object Document] called.
doDragEnter() called.
doDragDrop() called.

In the following code The Photo, Fade, Rotate and Squeeze Transition effects work none of the others work. I think the transition is actually processed as the image isn't rendered till the duration time is up. I've tested all the commented out examples none work.
View 1 Repliesprinting directly to a Photo ID Card printer in a web browser?I have a web application that manages user data, photo, and so forth. I'd like to add a Print ID Card feature to it. The web application is a single page javascript application that talks to a RESTful web service via JSON. I'd like to display what the printed card will look like on both the front and back for approval before the user clicks the print button.
Generate front and back JPG or PNG images to print on the server, send them to the client for display and approval, and then somehow send the images to the printer.Use javascript with SVG or Canvas to display the card to print in the UI for approval, then somehow send the SVG/canvas data to the printer.Generate a PDF and print the PDF to the printer.Use Flash to display and print Use a Java applet to display and print Something else?
I currently require my flash animation to be exported into format that is compatible for television broadcast. HD would be ideal. I'm getting pretty choppy animations when exporting into H.246 from flash so I've decided to export it into a PNG sequence instead - which I will then import into after effects and take things from there.My flash document comprises of only scripted animations but they are not reflected when I export into a PNG sequence.
View 2 RepliesIs it easy to adapt the Actionscript so that you can get multiple flips? i.e., so that you can flip the card several times and get a different image each time? Here is the code for two times flip and implement this. now i plan to move little bit forward to implement to flip the card several times.

I am making a flash movie, and I want the user after downloading it to have the option to upload a picture into the movie. Concretely it is going to be a mirror in the movie where the user then will see the picture of himself.
View 2 RepliesHow would I go about setting up a situation where, I preferably create a motion graphics piece in After Effects and turn it into an swf. The piece will ,say, have a head shot photo of someone as the background in the movie. I want to create a situation where the user can upload a head shot photo and their uploaded photo will become the new background in the piece......is this possible? I've seen sights like jibjab and oddcast where the user can superimpose themselves into silly animations .....so I'm assuming it must be possible?

I have a PHP code to scan all directories and files, so that part shouldnt be a problem.
How do i make an upload on folder that user Selects ??
I am trying to work out if FMS is the solution I am looking for. I am trying to create a system that will store data, and upload it to a database when the user leaves the page. I thought the best way to achieve this would be to send a data object to the media server, check on an interval to see if the user is still active and then somehow upload the data when their "session" times out.
View 1 RepliesI've developed a system that uses SWFUpload to easily allow the user to upload multiple files with a progress bar showing them the upload progress. It all works fine in my development environment, but is failing for some users in the wild with the Flash movie not loading. I can see the Flash movie is there, if I right click it a window appears saying Movie not loaded... (Then on the next line) About Adobe Flash Player 10...So far I've not been able to determine what was causing the failure.Are there any other alternatives to SWFUpload that will allow for:
Upload progress bar
Allow multiple uploads
Where to begin? Anything thoughts, or direction I should start with?
View 1 RepliesJust wondering if anyone knows about the project I am trying to start, uploading images from flash using php is fine but wondering if anyone knows how to create dynamic xml from php and it takes all the image names from the same folder where those images have been uploaded. So we can load all the images in image gallery through xml into flash.

Suppose you want to let users upload JPG images, and these images are scaled into smaller icons and the original images are always discarded and never required again. Is there any way that would commonly work in most modern browsers that would let the user select a single image on their hard drive, have that LOCALLY turned into a thumbnail and upload the created thumbnail to a server?
In a case where the server just needs a small image, it would be wasteful both in user time and server resources to proceed uploading the whole image, only to immediately discard it. It would be much better to just scale it on the client.
I can imagine three options. Just plain HTML/Javascript, using Flash or using Java. If this were possible with Flash, that would seem like the best option. But reading flash.net.FileReference documentation, it seems that you can upload a file from the HD yes, but you cannot look inside the file you are uploading. On the other hand, if you enable "can access local files" in Flash publishing options, it seems that you can then no longer access the net, so that doesn't work.
With HTML/Javascript, it is possible to load images and display them on a <canvas>, but if you try to access the pixels of these images, you get security violations, so that doesn't seem to work.
Java I hesitate to use, because only 96.52% of my users have it installed, and the file upload dialogs I have seen implemented in Java (at Facebook for example) have not worked well (unresponsive interface). I wonder though if Java is the only thing allowing resizing images from local HD?
I'm using Agile Uploader in my project to resize image before upload on client side.And it works fine except one thing: if image name contains cyrillic letters it fails with server error 500.
How to avoid this or if needed how to rename file with english letters "on fly" (possibly with javascript).

I want users to be able to upload audio files to my server (say, over HTTP.. mechanism doesn't matter much), and then I'd like to assemble those files into a playlist and stream them out over a live RTMP stream to a Flash widget.The catch is: I'd like to begin streaming the audio files before they completely finish uploading. For example, if a user uploads an hour-long mp3, I'd like it to be able to begin playing on the RTMP stream once, say, the first minute has been uploaded.I'd like to support mp3 and AAC, and would hope to avoid re-encoding the files. Is is there a way to make this work with Wowza, Flash Media Server, or some other clever solution?
View 2 RepliesI can't sort out what's wrong with my code (see below). Basically, I have two mc and two buttons in the library. One movieclip linked to "Card" class and has multiple frames with images in it. The other mc is empty and linked to "CardObject" class. The goal through button clicks, user can keep flipping the card and getting new image each time (or prevBtn to go back to prev frame).OOP is new to me, I've done mostly timeline animations and simple coding right on the timeline, so excuse the mess LOL
public class CardObject extends MovieClip {
//add variables for card and buttons
public var thisCard:Card = new Card();

I have an image on the stage which is bigger than the stage itself:
The stage is 700x550
The image is 2100x1650, and it's registration point is at its center, if I remember correctly.The initial location of the image on the stage is 350,75.I want to make sure that the user will be able to drag the image, as long as the edges of the image doesn't show.here's what I did:
mapRect = new Rectangle(0-mapMC.width/2, 0-mapMC.height/2, mapMC.width, mapMC.height);
and later on:
mapMC.startDrag(false,mapRect);
The the top and the left of the image are bounded well, but as far as the bottom and the right side of the image.
I'm at that awkward point in Flash authoring where I know the basics, have tackled only a few of the intermediate issues, and have been assigned a task that seems a bit daunting. I did my fair share of googlin, and searching on these forums and haven't found what I'm looking for.I've created a simple drawing program in flash before, but what I need to add is the functionality to upload a user image and crop/resize it. Does anyone here have a link to an article that will explain a bit about flash's jpg manipulation abilities?
