I'm developing a kiosk in AS3 that utilizes StageVideo (publishing for FP 10.2 on a Mac Mini). It works fine, except as soon as StageVideo is engaged the mouse becomes visible. This is a public kiosk so I need the mouse to stay hidden.
View 1 RepliesI have recently followed a tutorial to make a movieclip in flash that makes buttons spin around a point depending on the mouse position. I have made my own version off this and would like to use it in a full flash website that i am making at the moment.
The only problem that i am having is with aligning this clip and as it is made up of script i cant physicly drag it to were i want it. I understand how to alighn this with x/y positioning but when i preview the flash in a web browser it is positioned correctly but then when i 'full screen' the browser this clip jumps about 4 inches down the page.
I am trying to make a flash footer for this forum. A footer is 300 by 60. If the user mouses on the top half of the footer, then my image inside will scroll up. Vice versa for mousing on the bottom half. It aint seem to work. I put the below on the image, which is a movie clip.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
//because the footer is 30 pixels high
newHeight = this._height+30;
}
[code]...
Is there something you type that makes the mouse disappear?

View 5 Repliesi have created a program in flash to run on several touchscreen kiosks here in my city. its a simple flash presentation and uses basic actionscript 2.0 for navigation etc. and its all working fine. now, the organizers want me to create a hit counter that can track how many people are using the kisosk services. so basically, each time someone hits the home button, a "hit" should be generated.
now i know of some scripts that use flash and PHP that can do that, but unfortunately i dont know how i can use it. The program that runs on the kisosks is just a flash file rendered as an exe and installed on the machines. i know basic PHP but as far as i am aware of, u need to run PHP through some HTML pages to be able to use it. besides, you would also need a php server to be able to get the hit counter working.
so my question is, is there a way to have the hits generated and stored in some kind of file (text, or xml or anything)? it has to be generated from within the swf file and stored to the (text, XML?) file.
I built a video player that uses embedded movieclips and bitmaps with flash professional cs5. I would like to incorporate logic to use stageVideo. However, if I use flash the stageVideo api's are not available. If I use Hero, I don't know how to incorporate the embedded movieclips and bitmaps that are currently in the fla.So, my question.Using flashbuilder, is their a way to access assets from an fla? or Can I somehow gain access to the stageVideo api in flash?Would it work to create a swc in flashbuilder with stageVideo apis included, and then add it to flash professional?

use Flash's StageVideo object through the example ActionScript file in this page [URL] the problem is it's just showing up a black screen (no video) for live streams which are not using the H264 codec?and also it is not even throwing up a StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE event to say that it cannot play the stream. Actually it can seem to play the stream because I can hear audio but it is just unable to show up any video, anybody encountered this scenario before?Someone commented on some other sites to check if the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" in the Flash settings is checked, and I can confirm that it is checked, again this is only happening whenever I'm viewing a non-H264 stream
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a button that will close Kiosk Mode (IE), but havent been able to find an example any place. I have tried using the fscommand function but do not get any results, and i think this is because when i launch kiosk mode i am launching the swf instead of the htm file.

View 2 Repliesi am self-taught and i have pretty good as3 and mxml skills and have worked with Flash Pro and Flex, but only for my own stuff at home. i have only done local AIR stuff that don't require sending and getting data from a server now someone has asked if i could build him a kiosks/server system, and i want to dive into that the kiosks would be deployed in stores and have touchscreens displaying pictures, movies, banners and accept user control and data.i plan to build his remote controlling software in Flex and the kiosk AIR apps in Flex or Flash pro.the kiosks should periodically connect to the server to see if updates are available and download swf, jpeg and movie (mp4? flv?) files to the local filesystem (no live streaming is needed)also, user created data (forms only) should be sent to the server - i guess xml.[code]can all this be in as3 alone or do i need stuff like php also?also, would i be able in the controlling flex app to determine if specific kiosks are offline?
View 1 RepliesIt would be so great if there would be stagevideo support for iOS devices. I know there's a workaround using StageWebView, but I need to be able to place objects on top of the video. Does anyone know if, and if so, when Adobe plans to release support for StageVideo on iOS?

I've updated AIR to 3.1, and have tried following various tutorials and also reading this: [URL]..but I can't really wrap my head around it. I can't copy/paste either because I'm unfamiliar with using external classes & do most of my coding internally.
I have tried doing the dodgy and removing "private" & "public" in front of all the functions from a copy paste of the external classes but that doesn't seem to be helping.
We are doing our second kiosk using Flash and Jugglor. The system uses a 1024x786 touch screen (15") for user input and a 1366x768 Flatscreen (37") for information display.The program is created in Flash with a stage that is 2390x768 (2390=1366+768) We use a 2-headed nVidia card and their drivers split the info onto the proper screens.Works swell! In this iteration, we are using more full-screen hi-def on the info screen and I can't, for the life of me, get a solid answer as to the best way to take advantage of hardware acceleration for hi-def video playback in the CPU (Intel/XP) or the graphics card.
I know that most DVD players are able to do this, but there is enough stammering on the flash playback to suggest that the video is not getting a full boost from the silicon.

I need to create a game for an interactive kiosk. The game is fairly basic, it will most likely be done in flash/AS3 (I believe this is the best choice for this kind of game) UNLESS the dual display requirement is far easier to accomplish with a different technology. The kiosk consists of two displays, both of which need to show separate content from within the same game. Here's the question: How can I (or anyone) create a flash game that utilizes two separate displays for different content? (This is not just a wider field of vision for the game, the two screens will show different things.)
My Idea (probably not the best):
Design the game on a canvas twice as wide as one of the monitors, then split the canvas in half and code the game to output different things to each half of the screen. Then run the monitors in "extended desktop" mode or something like that, and make sure that the split between the two desktops occurs in the middle of the game canvas. The two displays are being fed from the same machine and same graphics adapter. The whole "kiosk" is powered by one single machine.
I have looked all over, but I cannot find an example of this. I have a kiosk movie, and I want it to return to Frame 1 if no one uses it for a couple minutes. How to do this?

View 0 RepliesI'm trying to create a web based welcome display for a building entrance. The project would include:
1) A wmv movie play constantly on the digital display until some visitors touch the screen (this can be played either locally or on the internet, but it has to be able to go to number 2 when visitors touch the screen)
2) A couple of buttons with department names show up for visitors to choose who they are here to see
3) After the visitor touch on one button, an email is sent to the department
4) the site should go back to the number 1) again
My experience is html, css, php, javascript, and some Flash, but I'm open to learn new skills. Can someone please suggest some good ways to build this site? Is there any tutorials or good sites I can learn from, that would be a bonus. Edit: so I'll use html5 and javascript. I have a couple of further questions, Since this is going to be a kiosk, the same movie is going to be played constantly, everytime after the customer has contacted us, the 'thank you' page is going to show briefly and go back to the first movie page. My question is how can I not let the movie load again and again everytime when there is a customer?
Because the local data space for the display is going to be limited. I've been thinking if I just create one page for the whole process and use a javascript slide to make each page as a div, so the movie div is going to be hiden so it doesn't need to be reloaded again, would that fix number 1) data space concern? I'm thinking of using a horizontal slide like [URL] How can I make the last div (thank you) to show about 5 secs and go to the first div (movie) again?
So I have a series of kiosks I'm converting to AS3. On one frame is an animated clip (serving as screensaver), and on the second frame is an interactive clip. Clicking the screensaver forwards to the interactivity.In AS2, I used to set a timeout for not clicking on the screen to go back to the animation frame like this (with this code on actions layer in second frame):
ActionScript Code:
var timeoutID:Number;
function timedOut () {

View 3 RepliesI'm having troubles testing a StageVideo file locally. The HTML file that contains the swf loads perfectly in Chrome & FireFox, but when I go to open it in Internet Explorer 9 nothing happens (it just shows a white screen).
I've added the permissions for the location to the 'Global Security Settings' tab of the Flash settings manager (on the Macromedia website). I've also checked in the IE9 settings to make sure that it allows GPU rendering.
why it might be blocked in IE9?
So I'm building a video player that appears in a nested (display) hierarchy, and I would really like an easy way to preserve the background. I have a Loader SWF that contains a bg, and another SWF (which contains the video player) that toggles between StageVideo and Video per the end user's environment. I have StageVideo working, but it always shows below other content.Now I know that this is the desired behavior for StageVideo, as it allows the GPU to render content directly to the screen without having to composite the video feed with display list contentbut I really want to be able to show my background (if only as a 'picture frame') behind the video player. Drawing a simple rectangular frame around the player such that it appears to have a bg will not work; I need to be able to also display images and other DisplayObjects behind the video player itself
View 2 RepliesI have an AVER-TV HD Video Capture Card. Using Flash AS3 I can display HD content on the screen just as if the card was a WebCam. However, the performance is not that great as it get's quite 'stuttery' and is not smooth. I wondered if there were a way I could get StageVideo to help with this? It seems the StageVideo object needs a NetStream to operate. I've tried attaching a Camera to a NetStream Object and then passing it to StageVideo. The Camera seems to turn on, but it doesn't display anything on screen. Do I need to do something for the NetStream / StageVideo to display the output on screen? I really hope there is a way to use StageVideo with this HD Video Capture Card as I imagine it would be a lot smoother.
View 1 RepliesI can just create a new project, target Flash Player 10.2 and paste this into frame code:
[Code]...
The event never fires off. I look in the reference for StageVideo and I see it's available in Flash Player 10.2. What's up with this? edit: If I target AIR for iOS, this event does fire (I have AIR3.0 overlayed).
Does anyone know if it's possible to apply garbage collection to the new StageVideo component in AS3? I have tried with no success! Code is below:
if ( this._stageVideo == null )
{
this._stageVideo = stage.stageVideos[0]; this._stageVideo.addEventListener(StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE, stageVideoStateChange);
}
[Code]...
I just came across the new stageVideo, as I am not very Savvy using AIR i was wondering if i could use the camera video (getCamera)on the stagevideo, and how to implement it?
