View 1 RepliesI want to also add cuepoints to a live recording video as it is incoming.
I have a live feed incoming from a VideoDisplay object in my Flex Air app, and I would like to be able to record the video/audio of this and save it to disk and/or upload to server.
Is this possible? If so, would it be possible to add CuePoints to the video as it is being streamed live? Right now I am just trying to record a live stream from my VideoDisplay.
i have a VideoDisplay [code]and i want to make the child inside VideoDisplay to resize with him to make his size 100%/100% (size of the child)cuz video.height and width accept only integers and ican't put % in there
View 1 RepliesFlex appears to have 2 video classes: Video and VideoDisplay. My question is when does it make sense to use one or the other?
What I can tell from initial glancing is that VideoDisplay responds to mouse events because it inherits from IntaractiveObject, but I'm not sure if it's a real difference, because Video seems to have a workaround for this in that you can add your own event listeners.
There's probably more to it, but this is the only difference I can see now. So my question for those who used these objects extensively, can you share your experience when you use one over the other.
I have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].
How can I save some text information in local hard-disk with out the server support. I know shared object, but i dont use this. I need to save all these function in anther external file as text.
Is there any way to do that in AS3.0.
I don't prefer Flex, am working in Action Script 3.0 & Flash IDE
EDIT:
My swf is saved in a local machine. So no server interaction or browser interaction. the swf is running a local folder and read txt files from local folder, and save once press the save button.
I am retrieving the details from the database and printing them in the XML format. It's working pretty good and can even display the same XML format in the Flex. However, I am not sure, how to save this XML file to give it as a data provider for datagrid.
Here is my JSP code :
<%
ps1 = conn.prepareStatement("select file from file where status='P'");
rs1=ps1.executeQuery();
[Code]....
I am using the following thing to get the details
event.result.body.people.toXMLString();
My Flex application does a remote call to weborb to save some data from Flex. When this data is saved, a service is called on another server. All this time Flex is waiting for an answer. Is it possible to call this service (on the other server) and not wait for an answer. I have tried to call the service asynchronous but all this does is calling the service in a different thread. Flex still has to wait for both threads to be finished... So when the data is saved, flex should get its answer. (while the thread handling the service is still running).

I can just call the stop() function and forget about it but am wondering whether this won't come back and bite me.
View 1 RepliesI have a VideoDisplay that is able to connect to a source and play. After the connection times out I want the connection to be re-established when my play button is clicked. Right now when I reset the source and play the videoDisplay, it gets stuck in the loading state.

View 2 RepliesI want to download a file in flex. Here is my desired flow User clicks "view" Code goes to backend and get the file as an array of bytes bytes sent from java to flex via a callback flex then opens dialog and user decides where to save the file Unfortunately the last part is not on a user event but on the callback from the server. When I call new FileReference().save(...) it tells me this. An alternative could be
User clicks "view" Flex shows user the dialog and user chooses where to save file Flex goes to backend requesting bytes of file bytes sent to flex and data is saved. For this approach I am unsure how I can make the save asynchronous from the dialog. I want the user to save a file but the data but come from an array of bytes from the backend
I'm building a video player that run's FLVs and cannot overcome the fact that flex foes not fire the metadataReceived event sometimes. Sometimes it does and sometimes it does not. Therefore the total time of the FLV remains -1. I understand its a known bug , I'm researching about it for a long time now , but could not find a good workaround by now, found one that says to set the buffer time to 0 and try that, but it's also does not work.
View 1 RepliesI want to build a component, where the user can play a video in a Flex Spark VideoDisplay. There will be a button and whenever the button is pressed, I want to save the current time of the VideoDisplay plus a screenshot. The screenshot needs to be someway saved, because I want to display all times and screenshots in a DataGrid (screenshots should appear when the user hovers a time in the DataGrid). So, how can I take screenshots of the Spark VideoDisplay and save/display them?
View 2 RepliesFor a schoolassigment me and some buddies of mine are creating an application that is showing many similarities with the C-Mon & Kypski musicvideo on [URL]. The application is being developed in Flex.
We want to get a random point of a clip, let it pause so a user can mimic the pose and make a snapshot out of it.
What i managed to do is get a random point of the movie. I did this by getting a random value between 0 and de total duration of the movie.
But what i didn't managed to do is let the screen pause on every 24st of a frame. As the movie concist out of 24FPS. It looks like the the random value of the movie that is being requested is being rounded by the movie itself. As example: There appears to be no difference between the frames requested at 2.40 or 2.41.
It appears it got something to do with keyframing i've read on the Adobe® Flex™ 3.5 Language Reference. The movie is a FLV file and i use the VideoDisplay object to display the movie.
I'm using videoDisplay MXML component for my Flex app.I would like to autoload videos (in order to display the first frame) without automatically run them.
View 2 RepliesI have noticed that I have to put flv files in the same or sub-directories of the application file, for example myproject/bin-debug/flvs/1.flv, and use videodisplay.source="flvs/1.flv" to load.
If I put it in myproject/flvs/1.flv, I cannot load it in VideoDisplay, using videodisplay.source="../flvs/1.flv". However the metadata (duration for example) is retrieved, but play() cannot start it.
I'm trying to play a video from amazon cloudfront in a videoDisplay component in flex3. My problem is that the source url is a rtmp with expire, key-pair-id and Signature parameters. I don't know what final url pass to the videoDisplay source. [URL]..
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make VideoDisplay playing media with FlashDevelop. Here's the source of my application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="[URL]">

<![CDATA[
import mx.events.VideoEvent;
private function pause():void {
[Code] .....
The problem is when I build application and run it (unfortunately, got no idea how to run it without KMPlayer or Mozilla - Flash Player is a plugin afaik) I got no video. The movie file is in the same directory as application's "Application.flv" one. But if I reload application (within player or browser) a few times, video starts. So, here are my questions: What's wrong with VideoDisplay component and how to fix this 'non-playing'? What's the better way to execute application than running it within movie player or browser?
i use this tag:
<mx:VideoDisplay id="myVid" bottom="0" width="100%" height="100%" live="true" autoPlay="true" source="http://localhost:5080/oflaDemo/{myvideo}"/>
but the only thing i get is the sound of the video and not the video itself,
how to receive an event when the streams disconnects that would be great.
The documentation for this control is simply horrible. I have an application that will have a live video stream and I'm looking for a way to make the VideoDisplay control restore its connection in case of the occurrence of any of these specific scenarios:
The application starts and the stream is not online yet. The application is streaming and the user is disconnected from the internet. The application is streaming and the video server crashes and reboots.
I'm using Wowza Media Server and Wirecast to test this. 1 and 3 don't work, I'm not sure number 2 does. I made number 1 work by adding this very questionable piece of code:
[Code]....
I'm currently building an air app with FB 4.
I have a custom control that contains a VideoDisplay control, and which loaded using the PopupManager.
Using the profiler, i've noticed that every time the my popup is loaded the memory for it gets allocated, but when it's closed the memory is never recovered.
There's nothing else holding a reference to the popup. And if I don't set the source of the VideoDisplay object, then there is no leak - but as soon as the source is set I get a leak.
I can't see any method to force close the stream or anything on the spark VideoDisplay control.
EDIT: I have tried setting the source to null before closing the popup but that doesn't change anything.
Also, I'm not holding any event listener to the video.
Edit 2: It doesn't happen if I replace the spark VideoDisplay with an mx VideoDisplay. Bug in the spark component?
I'm using Flash Builder and created a spark-application Flex project that will stream video from the local camera. If I use mx.controls.VideoDisplay; there is no problem since it has attachCamera(camera) method. But Spark's VideoDisplay component does not have that method. I know I can use mx controls inside a Spark app but I want to know:
What is the real difference between spark.components.VideoDisplay and mx.controls.VideoDisplay?How do I attach camera to spark. components.VideoDisplay?Is there any advantages if I go with spark (since it's newer to mx library)?
EDIT: In the documentation this is mentioned: "Starting with Flex 4.0, Adobe recommends that you use the spark.components.VideoPlayer class as an alternative to this class. (mx.controls.VideoDisplay)"
I have a VideoDisplay instance playing some video. When I click on the video slider (also my component) the property videoDisplay.playheadTime is set and the videoDisplay.state goes from 'playing' into a 'seeking' state for a brief moment (the videoDisplay seeks for a new position and then plays the video again). Intended bevaiour. But if I'm (or any random user) fast enough, I can set the playheadTime again while the player is still in 'seeking' state. When repeated several times every click is enqueued and the videoDisplay jump on every place of the video I have clicked(this is happening in an interval about 10-15 second after my last click). When I use live dragging the videoDisplay, overwhelmed by seekings, goes into 'error' state.My question is - is there any way to cancel seeking state of the VideoDisplay class? For example player is in 'seeking' state, I set playheadTime, and the player forgets about last seeking and try to find the new place of the video.
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a Flex video player with a "slow advance" button, and my first approach is to simply toggle between play() and pause() on a timer. I'd like to say something like
if (video.isPlaying) {
video.pause();
} else {
video.play();
}
But I can't find anything like an 'isPlaying' property.

I am just a rookie in Flash, and came across a problem. I'm trying to create a flash movie that will display time like a TV ident does. I've successfully set it up to get the correct time and play a "tik-tok" sound as each second passes. However, it is to have some background music, and I can't get it to start when I need it - for instance, if the time is 18:00:00 it should start at 00 seconds, it time is 18:00:21 it should start at 21 seconds etc. This is the script I used for ticking:

What should I use for the complex situation as described above? My only guess is that I should sync it to the frames in the background video (behind the clock, running at 24 FPS), but I haven't got a clue how to set that up as well. Can someone please help? If necessary I can upload the .fla file.
