View 1 RepliesI'm using FFmpeg to do some video analysis on my PC but I'd like to see if I can do something similar in the browser using Flash.
Does Flash offer any way to take a video file as input, crack it open, and get access to the pixel data?
referring to my old question AS3: Analyzing sound spectrums one by one, one channel at once , with flash player 11 and using Sound.extract,is it possible to extract a single channel and manipulate/visualize it's spectrum? I mean, if i mix 2 sounds into one file, can i control them separately, acting on thing like their soundwaves or volume?
View 1 RepliesWould it be possible to analyse a jpeg to see what colour or colours are more prominent and use them for further purposes. One implementation I am trying todo is have text go over changing images, keeping the text the same colour leaves problems with readablity with say a black-ish or white-ish backing. Just something that I would like, not entirely sure if its possible or how it could be done.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible to analyze music playing on a user's computer and show visualizations of it using computerSpectrum? Basically, can Flash read the audio playing on a computer or just the user's microphone?
View 6 RepliesI would like to create a game that would analyze an mp3 a few seconds ahead of where it is playing live. A basic idea would be similar to guitar hero, the 'frets' you can see coming and prepare, then they hit and sync with the song in real time.
Is there a way to analyze a Sound file ahead of time, or analyze a muted Sound file?
I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

how it is possible to edit dynamic content and modify the content and save it, all within flash.I have tried some experiments in the past and have got the text to change etc which is easy but i need a way to save the content so the next time anybody sees the flash it will have the latest content until i change it again.
View 2 RepliesI'm loading one SWF into another but the internal one is coming over the main content and that can't happen.here is the part of my code where the external content is being loaded anyone hason what I can do to fix this? here is my code:
Code:
var loadAnimBox:Loader = new Loader();
var vid_mc:MovieClip;
[code].....
The stand-alone Flash player has an option to print a SWF. However, there is no shell action registered for this, and as far as I can see the only way to do it is to use a keyboard macro (or do something invasive such as inject a DLL in the player). Is there some official API for this?
View 1 RepliesI am developing PDF to e-book converter which will run on a server.I need to programmatically extract embedded fonts from PDF file to finish the project.Now I am able to extract images and text, but to display content in the Flash Player precisely I need the fonts to be extracted from PDF and compiled to SWF to be loaded by Flex application at run time.
I am wondering if it's possible, as such tool as pdf2swf.exe from SWFTools is able to do this. I have decompiled the swf file produced by the tool and there were fonts embedded.The extracted fonts will be used for displaying the same content from PDF file only, just in Flash player. So i think it will not be any rights violation? Moreover, people who will use the converter have all rights for the PDF files content.
So I see next workflow:
1. Call pdf2swf.exe to produce SWF file with fonts embedded;
2. Call some tool (Which one?) to parse previous SWF to SWFs with separate fonts.
3. Load the SWFs with fonts to Flex application at run time to correctly display content.
Some sites have forms which are Flash.How can I programmatically, fill out these forms ?Is the only solution sending POST via cURL by first monitoring the http headers being sent ?
View 2 RepliesI want to programmatically detect flash on a web page. From my search, I understand I need to parse the code and look for embed tags that have the attribute "application/x-shockwave-flash". Is that all? Or there are other ways to embed flash into a web page?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a graphic flash at regular intervals that I can control via AS3. I was trying to do this with tweening but I am getting bogged down because for some reason when I try to get the darn thing to loop it just won't do it. I want to be able to change the rate at which the graphic flashes on and off the screen within the constraints of the frames per second so that I can simulate a light and sound machine. Ideally I'd like to be able program the starting frequency of the flashing light (say 15hz) and the ending frequency (5hz for example) and the program would gradually shift the frequency from one to the other over the course of the graphic. For right now I would love it if I could just programmaticly set the frequency of the flashing graphic within the limitations of the frames per second.
View 14 RepliesI'm trying to control the video playback of a live video stream using ActionScript 3 code in Flash Professional.
There's a FLVPlayback component on my stage titled "flvPlayer", and in Frame one of my "Actions" layer, I have the following code:
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var vidURL:String = new String("rtmp://www.mycompanyserver.com/test/live/livestream");

I can get it to work by adding the source to the Compenent Parameters window, but I need to be able to access those parameters in code.
This probably goes for all programming languages. I use Adobe Flash AS3 and for some reason that is boyond this post, I cannot use built-in dropshadow filters. I do, however, have bitmap data available, with color and alpha values. So there should be a way to draw my own dropshadow filter.... right? Any good existing algorithms I should go and check out? Not specifically looking for an AS3 implementation, any other example will probably allow me to convert the code.

View 2 RepliesIn my application I am accessing a XML file which is in the same location as the fla, yet I have to add my folder location to the Flash Global security settings in order to avoid that infamous Security violation that is thrown. Thats fine in my development environment, however when deployed on a customer's machine they have the same issue. Is there a way programmatically to to trust the xml file and avoid the security violation? NOTE the customer is accessing the swf in 2 ways through a .NET loading mechanism and 2. opening the file location in a web browser (NOT in a we page but opening the swf directly - YES I know this is not recommended - but nevertheless is the customer's preference)
View 2 RepliesI want to ask if there is a way to link a movieClip with a class programmatically, without going to the properties menu and checking "export to actionScript" (in flash pro). I know that you can just use addChild or use other work-arounds, but is there a specific method that does this thing.For example: movieClip.link(class)
View 1 RepliesHere's what i'm trying to do: I have a slideshow of pictures with a simple fading transition. I do not have the source file and i'd like to extract all of the single pictures from the slideshow. I've imported the video into flash so that all of the images from the video are keyframes.
So now, I have a movie with about 10,000 keyframes. I have a known interval of keyframes that I do not want (when the picture is on a frame by itself and it's not transitioning with another picture).
Can I:
Delete an interval of keyframes Create a new movieclip/document/scene... with the keyframes that I want
My flash asset file contains seven poses of a cute character. On the other hand, a C++ application (OpenCV), detects my gestures on the webcam. Each gesture is mapped to one of the seven poses. How to generate a sequence of animated poses in Flash format? Which library/plugin can best output such flash sequence? SWFTools has a command called jpeg2swf that does the job - but my asets are (already) in swf format. I guess I need something like swf_frames2swf

Is there a way to programmatically set flash to make sure it is the most updated copy of the swf? Let me see if can be clearer as I really don't know how to ask. Say I am building a movie and I just changed it, I open my browser and see the old version. I have to clear my cache to get the updated version. Is there a way of making flash "clear its cache" so to speak? I tried googling "SWF updated ActionScript" or variations of that, but calamity ensued.

I need to write a small Flash app that will need to extract a video frame from a playing video. It will not need to be saved to the HDD of the user. I just need to get the image data and display it in the Flash movie. The frame to extract will be chosen by the user, which is why I'd like to do this purely on the client side (though I know I could do it from the server side).

In theory you only have to pass the movie path to the htmlFlash helper in a phtml view[code]...
I heard about jsfl (Flash IDE API) so I guess it is possible but I can't find any concrete example ?
View 1 RepliesWhat's the best way to draw cubic bezier curves programmatically in AS3? The Graphics class only seems to support quadratic curves. I want to be able to do something like:
var startPoint:Point = new Point(0, 0);
var endPoint:Point = new Point(5, 5);
var control1:Point = new Point(5, 0);
var control2:Point = new Point(0, 5);
var myBezier:Sprite = getBezier(startPoint, control1, control2, endPoint);
For a performance target, I'm planning on having ~50 of these on the stage at once.
We're building a kiosk app that will have a fairly wide deployment. The app is in Flash running in a browser and requires the use of the webcam. As it stands, each kiosk will show the usual Flash "do you want to allow the use of your camera/microphone" dialog, which I suppose a local admin could click through, choose "remember," etc.
Given that this is a kiosk app, where we have access to the machines themselves (or at least to people who do), is there a way to pre-seed the whitelist so the dialog does not appear?
I'm looking for a framework enabling me to programmatically add moving/scaling shapes and text areas over a flash video.
I'll have an XML file with text, starting times of animations, ending times of animations, positions, scales, etc. And want to use this file to animate stuff into place.
The idea is that I'll have a video with moving shapes. Multi-language content has to be put into the shapes and scale along with them.
framework that enables me to do such a thing?
