For example, check out [URL] They enable their users to capture videos of themselves and then create animated gifs from them.
Just so this isn't construed as spam, I do not work for Gifyo. It's just an example.
Can this be done now with HTML5? Should I maybe us Javascript? Flash?
What I want to do is have control over the streams so I can send them wherever I want, have it interface w/a mic and cam, and the ability to capture and record them. At this point I don't have any specific specs or limitations. It will be used in a commercial project so the license must allow for that. Free and OSS is preferably, but commercial and proprietary is not out of the question if it's worth it.
I don't see html5 as a viable solution at this point so I'm assuming it's going to rely on flash which is fine, but I do not know actionscript. I'm not opposed to learning it, and assume I could pick it up fine within a week, but keep that in mind. If I have to build something myself from the actionscript libraries (I assume they provide enough functionality) I can do so, but I'm hoping for a quicker solution than that.
I'm looking for a flash script/library to capture video and audio from a webcam and then somehow get a saved flv to my encoding server. I'm not looking for something that will host the videos for me. I just need something simple to capture and then upload. I really want this to be open source and free.
I've done a fair amount of searching and it seems that most of what i can find is either a full blown service with hosting, or the red 5 suite. I've been trying for a day to get something going on with Red5, but honestly I haven't done any flash or java development in over 6 years and this seems way too complicated when all i really want is a flash object i can stick on a webpage.
Does anybody know if there is an example paid or not that combines a webcam picture capture and simple drawing app? URL...

I 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 RepliesIs there a way to know the max resolution of a webcam ? I need to capture images from webcam and send its on another notebook throught internet.
So I want to capture images at max resolution indipendently from webcam automatically without setting the resolution every time ( if I have a webcam with 1.3 MPixel, I want to capture images at 1.3 MPixel; If I have a webcam with 640x480 Pixel, I want to capture images at 640x480 Pixel; and so on... ).

View 2 RepliesI wonder wether on a website like chatroulette for example, the streaming video is going directly from user to user or wether it is going through a server.
In other words I wonder wether it is possible to offer a webcam service on a website, so that the streaming video goes directly from user to user, without overloading the system.
I'm writing a flex 4.5 application that's supposed to capture a video from a webcam and audio from microphone and save it in some video format (i don't care which format). I use VideoDisplay to display the webcam. how can I fetch and play audio in real time ? Is there a way to save the video locally without using a flash media server?
View 2 RepliesBasically I have designed a flash interface which puts a moustache over the users face in real time. My lecturer has told me to add a button which will take a capture of the image of the person with the moustace and add the image to a folder.

I'm trying to use BitmapData Class to capture an animated movieclip and adding it to the display list by using addChild, but it's causing my computer to bog down because it's adding a zillion children. what do I do to remove the old, or rather, update the current child with the new one?
View 1 RepliesI am using Asp.net/C# to build an application , i have a requirement wherein i need to access webcam from my page and capture images of users.So i am trying to achieve this by creating flash file .
View 2 RepliesGot round to the point where screen grabbing an image and saving it to file is too much, so what i want to do now, is take a snapshot of a live webcam image (I have webcam display working) and display the snapshot/screen grab, next to it or anywhere in the movie. This way the screen capture can be stored temporarily in the movie. once the movie is closed, all info is lost. Once another screen grab is taken, then the previous one is overwritten. The idea is simple but having problems working out how to do it in AS3!
I have got to the idea that i may need to use the Bitmap API to copy a section of the movie, and then redraw it into a new bitmap object?
I want my site's users to be able to record videos straight from their webcams into my site. Videowhisper is one such tool which seems to work fine - [URL] But I'm looking for opinions on better / more scalable / reliable solutions. Paid solutions are fine.

I am creating a game that has a gender selection and name entry box on a screen. When users hit the next button, I want to capture which gender they selected and what they typed for their name. I tried using the code found on the adobe website, but that captures every letter typed in real time.
I just started learning actionscript this week, so I'm a noob at it. Currently, when they click on the button boy1 it erases whatevers in the dynamic text box playeronesex and adds the word "woman". When they click the button girl1, it erases whatevers in playeronesex and adds the text "woman". I also need to know how to capture which they finally chose when they hit the next button.
Heres the actionscript for this frame:
//next button
stop();
onbone.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, nextone);
function nextone(event:MouseEvent):void {

I am working on a site where you customize a postcard for print. The user adds images, text etc. I have run into a problem because I need to have the MC that contains all the images, text etc, captured and sent to me so I know exactly how to lay out the postcard for print.I can't for the life of me figure out how to go about doing this without the user having to "screengrab" or "printAsBitmap" and upload the resulting file.
View 3 RepliesI would like to know if it's possible to capture a users webcam in flash and directly upload it to YouTube without a backend server setup. Or if there are any third party providers that support this service. I see YouTube offers a live streaming API, but it seems it's only available for selected users.
View 1 RepliesThis can't be too difficult but its killing me. I want my user to be able to type 3 numbers into 3 different input boxes, capture those numbers, calculate and display their average in a fourth text box.
I am not sure how to capture input from a textbox in AS3 in order to do these calculoatilo.
I created text field. Instance name of the text field is answer_txt01. When I enter the right answer "red", it should go to frame 2. However regardless of right or wrong answer, it goes to frame 3. How do I capture the user's answer on frame 3?
answer = answer_txt01.text;
answer_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (answer == "red") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(3);

what I'm trying to do is allow the user to pick a section of the stage, click, and have the region defined be copied and show up on the other side of the stage. It may be better explained to think of it like a camera game. The player has cross hairs, can move the square (which tracks the mouse) around the stage, and click to capture that square's pixel information, store it to a new movieclip and display it on another area of the stage.
I've found many resources online about capturing BitmapData, including capturing from embedded FLV videos, but I haven't seem to be able to find anyone who has created something like this which captures from a moving region. However, I have seen it done before in a game that is no longer online from PBSkids.org.
Here is what I have so far. Right now, when I click the movieclip loads all white pixel data and I'm not sure why.

import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.geom.Point;
stop();

My main movie (SWF A) loads another movie (SWF B) and plays it.SWF B is legacy content - I can't modify it.SWF A is AS3. SWF B might be AS2 or AS3SWF B makes several calls to a javascript function that would normally reside in the hosting web page.The javascript calls might use ExternalInterface, or they might use getURL(javascript: xxx) or they might even use fscommand.
My questions:
Is there any way I can intercept the javascript call in movie A? I don't want to have to resort to the browser, so simply using ExternalInterface or similar to pipe the request back into the movie won't work.
If there is a way, how does it vary across the different versions (ie. what's the difference between the child movie being AS2 or AS3, and what's the difference between the various means of calling js?
I'm working on a web deployment, using Flex 4.0. I would be interested also in whether this is possible in Air, or Air Mobile.
I am trying to track the exit clicks of the users in the adds in my page.
Can I somehow capture with Javascript the click event of a user in a external Flash add I have inserted in my page?
I have been searching and trying by myself, but it seems like the flash object inside of my page is a black box, where I could not access anyway.
