Actionscript 3 :: Wowza Or Red5 Hosting For Minimal Usage?
Jan 20, 2012
I'm getting into selling Flex webcam recorder applications. Such applications send streams to either wowza or Red5 servers for saving and playing back the streams.
I'm running into an issue regarding setting up a server to demonstrate the functionality of the applications to the users online. Two things to consider :
I don't have much money to spend on expensive media hosting services The streaming-server usage will be minimal as it will only accept small non-frequent streams from users trying the application on my website.
Any media hosting services I can use? will [URL]..work in my case ? Will it be a better(cheaper) solution if I can setup my own streaming server ?
I'm trying to implement a flex app that will be able to record a video from a webcam and then upload it to a server. I've only found tutorials and examples that require a media server running such as Red5, Flash Media Server and Wowza and an open rtmp stream to the server. However, I want to know if it's possible to record a video locally and then submit it to the server with a simple HTTP request. Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to do this? I'm really new in flex development
I'm publishing a swf using ActionScript 3.0 on the web. Therefore, only Flash player 9 or above can run my swf. How can I set the minimal version requirement so that if the use can be notified if his player doesn't meet my requirement?
There has been many threads on horizontal parallax effect but I'm trying to build a vertical one with minimal success. I need the effect at a very subtle scale and with easing if possible.
My Current Code (got it from a user here): // an array with 3 movieClips on stage ... named respectivly // make sure all these movies go beyond your stage
Everything works perfect but i need to change the way the MP3 file is called on. I'm brand new with AS3 and XML but have a PHP background so I attempted to understand the script and have not had any luck. The index.htm file displays a very simple music player which calls on the button_mp3_player SWF. The FLA has a portion of code that calls on an XML file to load a particular song. What I need to do is remove the XML file completely and define the MP3 file name in the index.htm. I assume some AS3 code needs to be altered so that it does not call on the XML and also that the index.htm code needs to be altered to define the MP3.
I wrote an application in flash AS3, and when I trace from flash the total memory usage of the total application is only about 9MB, But at the same time Task Manager Shows the memory usage as 110MB. Around 100MB difference.Flash Trace Method System.totalMemory difference of the Trace from the Beginning of the application to end of the application.
Since FMS has no options to stream to an ipad of iphone I tried to let FMS stream to a Wowza server by using NetConnection / NetStream classes. It seems to work (not getting any errors in the logs) but nothing happens when I try to read the stream from the Wowza server.
I have a Wowza Media Server 2 running on Amazon EC2 and I've noticed from time to time a flv is recorded from a webcam using Flash that has audio but no video. It works fine most of the time but from time to time this error occurs
[URL].. The only difference i can make out is that flash http streaming uses an xml manifest and apple http streaming uses playlist warper. I Am not sure if these are any different in concept. What exactly is the purpose of having two different ways of implementing the same concept?.
I can see from the documentation the flash http streaming needs a flash based player built using OSMF. What player is required for apple http streaming.?
I'm currently creating a whiteboard in Flash, and I want to be able to record all of the user interaction for later playback. Is it somehow possible to create a video of what the user is drawing?
I have a custom Flash video player that uses the NetConnection and NetStream classes to stream mp4 files from a Wowza server. Lately the playback has been having audio problems. The sound is crackled and in some cases may cause the Flash player to crash. This is not consistent between files. Meaning that a file that was played once with bad audio could be fine 5 minutes later when played again from a new instance of the player , but 5 minutes later have the same problem.
My thought direct me to thinking this was an encoding problem, but that wouldn't explain how one second the playback is fine, and once refreshed messes up again.
I should note that the Wowza server does not stream the entire file but only a portion of it based on various parameters it gets.
I am new in action script 3.0. i am trying to build an audio player which will stream audio(mp3 etc.) from wowza media server. the player needs to have a play button, stop/pause button, a play progressbar and a volume scroll bar. i am using NetStream object to paly the audio
Does anyone know of a way to obtain information about the environment that a SWF is served into? Things like the URL of the page that is hosting the SWF?
So say there's the URL [URL] which has the movie flashmovie.swf embeded in it ... is there a way to get the URL from inside flashmovie.swf and cast it into a string datatype?
I've been picking apart the _global object by recursively un-hiding it and the objects it holds properties, but so far have not come up with anything that could prove useful.

i m using flvPlyback in player in two websites but in one of the sites its not working properly, while in the other its working fine. it shows black screen there
I was able to get it all to work well. I finished the Flash based simple quiz game I was making. I apologize if the title is vague, but I thought this best described the issue at hand for me. If not, I hope the detailed question below can be of better use. What I want to do with this flash, which I've published as a swf, html file, is to upload them online to a forum I've been working on. This forum is a free creating forum, Forumotion. Anyway I have the files all done, but need a way to host it on the forum now.
I've been searching and doing research for free hosting sites to upload my swf file to, but have not had much luck. I was just wondering if anyone knew any good, legitimate, and preferably free hosting sites, which I could create a domain space on. I am also unsure if it is possible to do such a thing with a flash/swf files that have been created in Action Script 3.
I have a SWF that can be hosted in several different places on the web (including facebook.com). How can I determine which page is hosting my SWF from within Actionscript?
I want to build a silverlight web application that could installed on a user's computer. So any hosting requirements would be subject to whatever configuration the user has. What are there requirements to host a silverlight application? I need the same question answered for Flash and WPF.
Is it required that the .Net framework (or whatever Flash uses in that case) be installed on the machine? Obviously some webserver must be installed, what are the restrictions on the webserver for these three technologies?
I finished a Flex app using FB4.5 and uploaded and tested it fine to a shared host. I'm now in the process of securing the app using https, but have landed in a quagmire.I forced the load of all pages to https with .htaccess so that the Flex app loads with SSL. Problem is that I get a connection failed ('BadVersion') when the app makes a data service call using the gateway.php file because of the .htaccess force (it is looking for http rather than https). I believe I can hardcode the https path in the Flash Builder class file, but I don't want prevent the app from working on my dev machine either.Also, even if the gateway.php file is called using SSL, will the following calls to the PHP files containing the actual SQL queries fail because of the forced SSL by the .htaccess directives.
Instead of using .htaccess, I have also successfully used PHP to secure the initial launch of the app with a https redirect statement in the beginning. This allows the app to work, calling the gateway.php file fine because it isn't forcing https on everything. BUT, this defeats the purpose of trying to get everything to be encrypted.Is is it necessary to have the gateway.php file launched on SSL because of transmitting in binary AMF?
I have an AS2 swf that has an array that is updated when a user clicks on items on the screen. The array stores the currently selected items. This As2 swf is hosted by an AS3 swf loaded in using Loader class and a local connection between them is managed by swfBridge. I want to know what the best way for both AS3 and AS2 swfs to share this array is? or how can I call a function in the AS2 (client) swf and return the array to the AS3 (host) swf when it needs to read the items from the array?
I am in the middle of creating a Flash website for our baseball association. It will probably be below 2 megs in size. for a low-cost or free web hosting site? I do not know where to start.
I'm trying to find a reliable yet cost-effective solution for hosting our small collection of .f4v videos. We're a small company so price is a major consideration. We also need the video to stream.I found Vimeo and it's cheap but they don't provide streaming.
Viddler looks like a good solution. It's is a little more expensive but streaming is available.We're trying to avoid enterprise solutions such as Akamai, etc.Any others out there?I also know about Red5 but prefer to have it hosted.
I'm trying to request to an API method on the same server that is hosting the SWF file. I'm getting a security error 2048. This occurs whether I use POST or GET, and leaving the request data blank doesn't improve things. Nothing is sent in either case, and I get a SecurityErrorEvent to stare at. Everything works smoothly from the IDE.
The applet isn't trying to load the crossdomain.xml file, so it apparently isn't considering the request to be cross-domain, and shouldn't be any other domains involved. Loading images from the swfRoot works fine.
Is there anything else that could be causing this error? Furthermore, is there any way I can find out more details about what exactly is going on? Tracing the toString of the ErrorEvent only gives me "Error 2048" - I've seen reference in other questions to messages for this error that read "cannot load data from XXX", but I can't seem to get one of these (I'm using Flash CS5).
Whats the general industry concencus on who hosts video content for polite downloads on banner ads. Will the ad vendor host video content or is it expected for me to find a place to host the content (aka flash coms server? is a FCS necessary(have a feeling it a must right))
wanted to know does action script work on Linux or windows what is the best platform to choose for integration. I have signed up for two unlimited hosting accounts, with [URL]..
I am building a flash website, and would like to stream video in one of the pages. I have my videos hosted on Kaltura.com. They provide an HTML embed code, but is there a way to embed their player in my Flash site? Would I do this using actionscript?
