Well, I *thought* had it working, but I hadn't realized that it was only working in the IDE player ;(
Basically, I'm having the same issue Lori mentioned. I'm running it localy and in the IDE, it works. But in the player, it no worky. All relative file locations - nothing "unsecure" about it. I found this on MM's site (Sorry, Adobe's ;): Snapshots One of the great features of the BitmapData class is the ability to take a snapshot of the visual state of anything that has an instance name as a bitmap, such as movie clips, video objects, and text fields. This also makes it possible to create a freeze-frame of streaming video, webcams, or a movie clip. I'm doing a progressive download of an FLV and I can't get it to draw. I was using the FLVPlayer component, and then I tried a generic video container with basic NetStream code. Just a white box is the result. The weird thing is, I did this same idea way back using copyPixels. It's playing FLVs loaded from the server and there's no issue. http://johngrden.blitzds.com/Puzzaz/8ball/Puzzaz.html If anyone cares to try it out with the test I'm running, here you go: http://www.acmewebworks.com/Downloads/BitmapData_FLVPlayer_Issue.zip Can anyone at Adobe alleviate my suffering and just tell me if this is or isn't possible? -- John Grden - Blitz _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
