[flexcoders] FLV Thumbnail

[john_69_11]

I'm trying to generate an image thumbnail of an FLV and can't seem to
find any way to do it.  Only thing that people seem to be doing is
creating a player for the flv, then pausing and stopping the stream -
I want to grab an image of the one of the flv frames.  I found a piece
of code here:

http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/snapshot/snapshot.php?page=2

which i tried to implement with code like this in onFrameEnter:

    //Here we will copy pixels data
    pixels = new Array()
    //Create a new BitmapData
    snap = new BitmapData(_video.width, _video.height);    
    //Matrix to scale the new image
    var myMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
    myMatrix.scale(0.5, 0.5)
    //Copy video image
    snap.draw(_video,  myMatrix);

    var w:Number = snap.width, tmp
    var h:Number = snap.height  
    var a:Number = 0 
    for(var b=0; b<=h; b++){
            tmp = snap.getPixel32(a, b).toString(16)
            trace(tmp)
            pixels.push(tmp.substr(1))
        }
        a++
        if(a>w){ //Finish capturing
            
            //sendData(pixels, h, w)
            //free memory
            snap.dispose()
            
        } 

Now, it seems like the pixels are being captured, but I'm not certian
and I can't seem to display the captured image at all.  I've tried
using an image object and a Bitmap set to the BitmapData (variable
snap) but it doesn't display.  Anyone know of how to make this work,
or a better way?

Thanks,

John
