Actionscript 3 :: Practice Making A Simple Video Phone?
Apr 29, 2011
I'm trying to practice making a simple video phone app so I'm trying to make a program to send a video and recieve a video using Cirrus from Adobe. I'm having trouble recieving the stream though. Here is the cod that I'm using:
[code]...
Inside of the getVideoReveiver() function I'm getting the flag to go off from writeText("flag") then I get and output in the text box of:
NetStream.Play.Reset
NetStream.Play.Start
from the netStreamHandler, but the video never shows up in the receiving video element.I'm running this is two different videos of the same computer and taking the nearID from one stream and pasting it into the textInput theirID. I'm not sure what to try next?

I've landed a project which is centered around building a custom video player with some special functionality (so I can't just use the default Flash video player, unfortunately). I have two small 'problems' in the sense that I could probably solve them myself, but I'd like some input on best practice for solving them: (The project is for Flash Player 10 and the video is intended to run inside a browser.)
Problem 1: Toggling between normal / fullscreen playback Ok, so my custom video player needs to be able to toggle between fullscreen and normal embedded-in-webpage player size. How does fullscreen toggling currently work in AS3 -is there a specific AS3 method for fullscreening a specified video object in the swf (without stretching the video player UI overlay), and if so, does it automatically black out the background if the screen format doesn't match the video format? - or do I need to download a class for this?
Problem 2: Positioning video player UI when going fullscreen As opposed to YouTube, I want the player UI to still show up when the video is toggled to fullscreen mode - but as mentioned above, I don't want to stretch its size along with the video. So is there a best practice for repositioning the video player UI to the vertical bottom and horizontal center of the screen when the user clicks full screen? I'm not entirely familiar with what happens to the Flash stage when it goes full screen, How to deal with not knowing the coordinates of the vertical bottom/horizontal center when screens have different ratios and resolutions?

I'd like to get your thoughts on the best way to deliver full-browser (scale to the size of the browser window) video. I'm skilled in the creation of the content but learning to make the most out of Flash CS5 and would love to hear what you would suggest.Most of the tutorials I can find on full browser/scalable video are for earlier versions of Flash; what is the best practice today? Best resolution/format for the video? If there is an Adobe guide to this I'm happy to eat humble pie if someone can redirect me to it; I'm using CS5 Production Premium.I like the full screen video effect they have on the "Sounds of pertussis" web-site;

Is it possible to investigate an html page that views a video streaming data using flash, and then use these data to view it on the phone? For example Al Jazeera website has a streaming service. I've looked through the html page and other resources using chrome developers tools. I found a lot of data, but couldnt figure it out which data I need.

I've been learning actionscript 3 for the past few days and really enjoying it. However I've spent hours trying to find out how to do something very simple in HTML. Say I have a form like this...
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="http://website.com/form">
<input type="text" name="your-name" id="your-name" />
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
How do I make it in Actionscript 3?

I started creating a simple navigation bar: [URL]
But decided to make individual buttons: [URL]
As you can see the latter repeats, however the code (after about an hour checking it seems to be identical:
Actions for frame one:
_root.buy_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_buy_mc) {
_root.buy_mc.nextFrame();
} else {
_root.buy_mc.prevFrame();
}};
Actions for invisible button:
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_buy_mc = true;
} on (rollOut) {
_root.mouse_over_buy_mc = fstartlse;
}on (release){
getURL("[URL]");
}

I have posted the following in the Adobe forums a couple of days ago. I didn't get a respond and I also think I accidentally posted it in the wrong forum. So here's the post:Let me introduce myself. My name is Wisse and I have been working with Adobe products since I was a child at the age of 8 (10 years ago). Well, then it was called Macromedia Flash but you understand what I mean. I have always been using flash for making animations and small simple applications (for presentations and games) in my spare time. I also use photoshop and dreamweaver for making sites and other things. So I will soon order the new CS5 web design collection.
I have a big (biggest so far) project coming up and before I really started I thought it'd be best to orient on what Flash application(s) to use and how I will make this project. So here is the plan:I am making a dutch driving exam site where people can take practice exams for a small text message fee. The application will have to look slick and work smoothly. I made this to clarify what the application has to do.I have never worked with Flash Builder and Catalyst but I kind of like the idea of making nice looking interfaces using Catalyst and then export them to Flash Builder. But as I just said, I have never worked with Flash builder and so I don't know whether I will be able to make this on Flash Builder (due to it's complexity). Flash builder also has some nice options for accessing external data (the XML, HTTP API and PHP in this case). Catalyst's data list designer and transition animator will save a lot of time and effort when compared to doing it manually in Flash Pro. The big issue here is that I have no idea how to script the rest in Flash builder. but I want to make to be sure that Builder is the best way to go before doing so.But on the other hand, I am quite familiar with flash and that could also save time. Flash is a bit harder to use when I want to make a good UI and Flash builder wins when you look at the server communication and the debugging tools.

I am trying to program a simple chat program. I have looked all over the net for an easy to use tutorial for exchanging information between Flash 5 and a MySQL database. The reason this is so hard is because I just started PHP and MySQL last week.
A. Sending 1 line of text to a table in a MySQL database via PHP.
B. Allow flash to retrieve the latest line of text from a table.

making my image gallery, but it only works as each image in the array is clicked. Now I am trying to make the gallery move automatically to the next image in the array every 5 seconds while still giving the user the ability to click on an image to view the one that they want.Here is my code so far (like i said it works great, but only as a click-able gallery):
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;

What is the best practice about xml deserialization in ActionScript 3?
I'm developing a real time multiplayer Facebook game. I prefered writing client side with Flash. Beside, server-side is written with Java. Communication between server and client is provided with "socket".Server and client sends xml to each other. As might be expected those Xmls contains "objects" which are derived from classes located in both side.[code]...

I am trying to make the SIMPLEST POSSIBLE MP# player using the player component preinstalled in flash.It is very simple, the code is as follows:
Code:
on (release) {
player.contentPath ="Song.mp3"
player.play()
}
("player" is the mp3 component)
This works if I want a single track to be selected and played.Now, I need it to AUTOMATICALLY LOAD THE NEXT TRACK, which I will input in the code.I am thinking something like this:
Code:
player.onSoundComplete = function() {
player.contentPath ="Song.mp3"
player.play()
};
But this is not working.
PS: I know an XML file would be the best here, but I don't want to use it. I just want to enter the next track's code inside the swf.

I have built a very simple flash player using the video component and I used cue points in the flv, then I used simple buttons and find cue points code snippets to make my buttons go to a certain part of the movie. All that works very well. Now what I need to do is when a certain que point portion is playing have the button stay in a overstate and once that portion of the video is done or another button is clicked the first button return to upstate and the new portion or the new button have the overstate.
Code below
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint);
function fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint(event:MouseEvent):void {
var cuePointInstance:Object = vid.findCuePoint("ch1");
vid.seek(cuePointInstance.time);

I have a FLV video that I need to stop when my flash video reaches a certain frame. I named my video "SMB3video" Using AS3.
I don't want something super advanced, just keep it as simple as possible.
I tried to create a script which gave me no errors until it reached the frame for the timeline.
Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,ent_frame);
function ent_frame() {
SMB3video.stop();

First of all it is a UI design question Which is the best design practice for edit data in RIA, for example in Flex or Silverlight? I would like to show customer's details, but there will be an edit window, than the datas of customer will be editable. I would like to show a new form where the data can be edited. What is the simplest way to show this form. I can make my ui tabbed, so I can open the form in a new tab, or I can open the form in a popup/modal dialog (Save-cancel). Maybe I can use in line editing. What is the most user friendly solution in a Silverlight or Flex GUI? What is your opinion?

I have a particular problem where I normally would use a db and php for back end but in this case I cant. its a small app that would consist of 4 tables category, price, product, and product_association. the product_association would store which category and type the products are associated with. so as an example if you have cars. you might have off road as the category the cost would be 20-25k could be suv. now a product can belong to more then one category but only one price. trying to figure what the best way to simulate a relational database with in flash. thinking objects, arrays, how to do the relationships.

I've always used this way to refer to variables on my document class
Code:
MovieClip(root).variablename
But that complicates things because I would need to extend my class as a displayObject and then add it to the displaylist to be able to use "MovieClip(root)" to access the variables in my document class.. as long as variables in my document class are set out as public variables..
I didn't realise you could refer to variables on the document class by just using something like:
Code:
documentclassname.variablename
With the the variable on the document class as "public static var". This solves a lot of problems.. as now I do not need to keep adding objects to the displaylist to get access to the document class variables..
Now.. My question is..Since I want to access most of my variables on my document class.. I would need to set them all to "public static var".. Would setting 100 or so variables to "public static var".. have any disadvantages? Like performance issues... Or anything else which may make it not be as efficent if I were to keep them simply as "public var" and use "MovieClip(root).variable" to access them?

I'm just moving from programming in Flash to Flex.
I want to create a simple gallery which is loaded with locally stored FLV short clips. I know how to create a text/image gallery, but I wasn't able to put the VideoDisplay component in the List control.
The final result should be a gallery with videos playing while the cursor is on top of them.

Using the for loop i create many buttons and add events to them;
[AS]
for (var j:Number = 0; j < all_objects.length; j++) {
var dump = new Sprite ;
dump.graphics.beginFill (0x41C5D2,.5);// flash button color default=0x41C5D2[code]....
I need to know which button is pressed, so i use the (tricky) unprofessional methode: event.target.name.the question is; how can I know which button is pressed, using a custom event, this custom event should pass some vars to the called function, including the j var (from the loop)actually I tried setting a custom event using the example at the noponies accordion menue class, but it's so complicated to get working.
