Flash :: Content-Delivery-Networks (CDN) Like AWS Cloudfront, Policies?

Jun 26, 2011

Is this a typical 'CDN' policy ? Is this to encourage customers to host only such content that is going to be around for quite a while, and going to see probably a million downloads I started looking at AWS Cloudfront for it's ability stream RTMP media (aka Flash server like behaviour) to host video content. That is to say, I am not too concerned about the "distribution close to client" benefit. However, what surprised me is a clause on the AWS Cloudfront pricing page, that says something like the first 1000 'cancellations' (per month) are free. I interpret 'Cancellation' to the be the act of removal of content that I no longer wish to serve via the CDN. Is that right ?

My requirement is the ability to serve media content (streaming audio, streaming video) which isn't shared with general public or a large audience. It is something like each of these files have a lifetime (or relevance) for only few days (a week or so, at most), and each file will be viewed only by a small handful of people/consumers (e.g. 1 file viewed by an average of 3 people, maximum say 10 people). Also the content's privacy needs to be maintained, so an accidentally shared media URL shouldn't allow an unauthorized person to access it. In this case, is it right to assume that CDN is an overkill, not the right solution ?

I was drawn to AWS CF for it low price (at least, low entry price) for RTMP streaming abilities. What other options could I consider. For me, high availability and round-trip-time are secondary... primary concern being cost, i.e. it needs to be as low as possible. On the question of "how low", I'd say low-enough for developing economies, s.a. in Asia, South America and Africa.

Can Flash Load Static .JPG Files Without Crossdomain.xml Policies

Dec 7, 2010

I'm doing a Flash Banner for an ADv campaing. Since the max swf file size allowed is very low, I'm trying to load external JPG images from the main server.Reading the crossdomain policies for Flash movies I see that:You cannot load variables or XML data into a Flash movie from another domain.

It's the same with static files as Jpg images?I'm testing the banner with various results: looking in Firebug, images are always loaded, but sometimes they appear, sometimes not, sometimes only the first time (it's a loop). There are no warnings however.

Loading the Banner with the same domain as the static images always works.I also tried to put a crossdomain.xml file on the domain that serves the static images, but problem seems to continue (maybe Flash cache that request somewhere..

Flash :: OSMF Seek With Amazon Cloudfront?

Jun 7, 2011

I've written a little OSMF player that streams via RTMP from Amazon Cloudfront. There's a known issue, the mp3 duration is not correctly readed from metadata and thus the seek function is not working.
I know there's a workaround implying the use of getStreamLength function of NetConnection, which I successfully implemented in a previous non-OSMF player, but now I don't know how and when to call it, in terms of OSMF Events and Traits. This code is not working:

Actionscript 3 :: Building Flash Video Player With Amazon Cloudfront To Stream MP4?

So I have a working Flash player using Cloudfront, AS3, NetConnection & NetStream. Works with a FLV, but I need it to work with MP4s. It connects to the stream, and outputs the following:

NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Play.Reset
NetStream.Play.Start
NetStream.Buffer.Full

My presumption is that it is working when looking at these messages, however it doesn't show the video or play any audio.

Flash :: No TotalTime Property When Streaming Mp3s Over RTMP (Amazon CloudFront)?

May 31, 2011

I'm building a Flash mp3 player to handle streaming mp3s served by Amazon CloudFront (which uses Flash Media Server). I'm using an FLVPlayback 2.5 component to do most of the heavy lifting (I tried an all AS3 method, but any stream automatically stopped within 5 - 10 seconds of playing). When I trace out the FLVPlayback's totalTime property, I get NaN. This is causing the seek bar to simply not work. This only seems to affect mp3s, as when I load an FLV I get a real value for totalTime. Does anyone know why this is happening

Flash - Serialize Circular Object Networks Using Write / Read Object

Oct 6, 2011

I'm about to implement
public function writeExternal( output:IDataOutput ):void {...}
public function readExternal( input:IDataInput ):void {...}
to make a set of object serializable.

Although I'm pretty sure, that I implemented all correctly, readExternal(..) at a certain point complains about too few data left to read:
RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.
at flash.filesystem::FileStream/readObject()

I wonder, if I have a circular object network like
A = { left -> B, right -> B }
B = { father -> A }
And I call
writeObject( a )
Will Flex serialize the hole object network and each object once and only one?

I did this:
Declared type annotations like this: [RemoteClass(alias="model.MyClass")]
Implemented parameter-free constructors
Declared all classes using implements IExternalizable
SharedObject's send() method is guaranteed to send each object once and only once.

Additional infos:
Reading and writing a ByteArray
Using Remote Object Components
IExternalizable interface

Professional :: Convert The Video To Flv For Delivery (viewing) Via The Internet?

Feb 5, 2011

I use FCE to edit video. I then convert the video to flv for delivery (viewing) via the Internet. I've read lots of discussion on how to create the flv. I've tried various methods, including:

1) Since I have Flash installed on my computer, I've used FCE's Quicktime conversion to export/encode directly to flv, and

2) Export an uncompressed QT movie from FCE; then used Flash Video Encoder to convert the .mov to .flv

What's best practice (I'm open to other procedures too)?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Cross Domain Policies - Getting The Error #2048?

Feb 11, 2009

I have the following:

PLAYER.SWF -- contains flv player and controls.
cross-domain-policy.xml -- that allows everything.
www.yoursite.com[code].....

If I have all the files on the same domain, everything works. The swf is designed to look for the prefs.xml file at whatever location where the html page is. I can have the swf in a location like[url]... and have everything else in some other funky location on that domain. If I try to have the html page and prefs and stuff on another domain, it can't read from the prefs.xml, and I get the Error #2048. From my research, this is a cross-domain issue, but I have cross-domain policies all over the place and it's still doing it.

Html :: Css - Enable Content On Top Of Flash Content Without Using The "transparent"

Jan 24, 2010

I'm developing a Flash application which is communicating with Javascript to allow more features such as custom html input etc., by placing an absolute positioned div on top of the flash application and controlling it's position etc. with Flash & Javascript.

Because these html elements have to appear above the flash content, I figured the following basic css would be enough to do the trick:

#flashContent {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;

[Code].....

So, the htmlContent has a higher z-index than the flash content and thus it should be shown above it. Unfortunately, this only seems to work when you set the Flash object's "wmode" parameter to "transparent".

The problem with this setting is that it's seriousely decreasing the application's framerate to an unacceptable amount.

For static content this does not seem to be a problem, however for my application there's all kinds of elements that you can drag around which have to be moved real-time (while moving the mouse).

So, how do I enable html content on top of flash content without using the "transparent" wmode parameter or how do I optimize framerate when using the "transparent" wmode parameter?

IDE :: Can't Tab To Flash Content

Dec 12, 2008

I'm revamping a website I'm working on to be accessible to those with disabilities. I'm using the Jaws screen reader to test.The Flash content is embedded in a ColdFusion page.The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to navigate to the Flash content on the page...

hitting the Tab button on the keyboard only tabs to the next link on the ColdFusion container page, never tabbing to any of the Flash buttons.If I click on the Flash content once, I can then tab between the Flash elements, but 508 standards require keyboard-only access, so clicking once isn't an option.Also, even though I've given each Flash button a name in the Accessibility panel, the screen reader is not reading the names. (Works fine in an all-Flash page, but not in the case of Flash being embedded in a ColdFusion page).
