[Flashcoders] Embedded Cue Points in an FLV stream

2006-09-11 Thread Sean Scott

Hey guys,

I have googled and searched the mailing list for an answer to this
particular question with no luck.

I am trying to see what are the optionbs out there for embedding cue
point timing into an FLV.

I know i can create an array of points and then associate it with a
particular FLV but looking for something a bit more integrated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW the target is Flash Player 8.  The osurce is an On2 encoded stream
coming out of vitalstream.

Thanks,
Sean

[Flashcoders] Delegating Events and AS2

2006-09-26 Thread Sean Scott

Hi All!,

wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.  I am trying
to find a ASBoradcast / Event Dispatcher light model for my app.

Basically i have a number of MCs that will have to either react to
events being broadcast or broadcast their own.

I have Essential AS2 by Colin Moock.  Trying to find something i can
import and maybe pass scope to it, vs have my main class extend it.

I've googled, searched the archived and exausted my more talented
flash developer friends.

Thanks,
Sean

Thanks all for the feedback.  I ended up using Joey Lott's Proxy class.

Danno, that is really cool, I will try that but I have done it, I made a site 
template that, when a button is clicked it dispatches an Event...but I had the 
hardest time doing it.  I am looking for a simple way to do it that works in a 
Class. without worrying about scope.  Mine relies heavily upon scope.  Anyone 
have any example?  Thanks, V

Vic, if you've ever used the XML or NetStream classes... it mimics
those types of event updates.  For example...

var xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.onLoad = function () {
   // gets invoked by the XML instance
}

So if you delegate the onLoad method, you get something like this:

xmlData.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, xmlDataLoad);

... which is essentially what I am trying to do with my own classes.
Another reason I like delegating events this way, is that the
compiler will catch typos in the names of the event functions, so I
am not searching around trying to figure out why a certain event is
not firing.

 Hey Dan, I like the way you do it, its pretty simple.  But here is,
 what probably will be an incredibly stupid question:

 How do I capture the event?  Thanks, V

 I personally use an extremely simplified way of dealing with events.
 I've used EventDispatcher before, but it feels like overkill most of
 the time.  I realize my method has no ability to multicast events,
 but it's quick, easy to read and gets the job done.

 Here's an example:

 ___
 // WidgetManager.as

 import mx.utils.Delegate;

 class WidgetManager {
 private var _widget1:Widget;
 private var _widget2:Widget;

 public function WidgetManager (timeline:MovieClip) {
 _widget1 = new Widget(1, timeline.widget1_mc);
 _widget1.clickEvent = Delegate.create(this, widgetClick); // add event

 _widget2 = new Widget(2, timeline.widget2_mc);
 _widget2.clickEvent = Delegate.create(this, widgetClick); // add event
 }

 private function widgetClick (eventObj:Object):Void {
 trace(widget  + eventObj.id +  was clicked);
 eventObj.target.clickEvent = null; // remove event
 }
 }

 ___
 // Widget.as

 import mx.utils.Delegate;

 class Widget {
 public var clickEvent:Function; // event method
 private var _id:Number;
 private var _buttonMC:MovieClip;

 public function Widget (id:Number, mc:MovieClip) {
 _id = id;
 _buttonMC = mc;
 _buttonMC.onPress = Delegate.create(this, buttonPress);
 }

 public function buttonPress ():Void {
 clickEvent({target:this, id: _id});
 }
 }

you cannot save voice/audio recording to a physical location unless

Hi,



I tried using Microphone class to detect Microphone on my machine and it
even worked as described in Help document.



But the real concern is to save that voice/Audio on local machine,

I could not store the stream even during runtime.



Will I be able to do it using only flash? Or I will have to use FMS

Subject: [Flashcoders] Recommended encoding rates for FLV?

I have been using video in Flash since it was first introduced. So I will
tell you what I know from my experience. I agree with Bjorn.  The website he
suggests is a great resource. I will also point you to a website that allows
you to make a side by side comparison of codecs and bitrates.
http://www.flashvideofaq.com/ IMHO, the On2 Flix Flash8 encoding solution
will give you the best quality. If you have a lot of videos,  then you will
definitely want Sorenson Squeeze with the On2 codec plug in.

For a connection speed of 1mb  I would recommend 872 kbps bit rate for the
video and for the audio 44100Hz sampling rate and 128kbps bit rate. Video
size 720w 480h or less.  Encode with 2pass VBR for progressive download or
2pass CBR for streaming.

The quality of the source video will have the greatest impact on the quality
of the output video more than codecs or bitrates. So focus on that as much
as you can.

Cheers,

Craig Clark

I'm after some recommendations for encoding FLV files - we'll be delivering
for two connections speeds - 256k and 1mb, in a you-tube style interface.

  What would the list recommend as the ideal kbps, audio data rate, codec
ect? I'm pretty new to flash video.

[Flashcoders] On2 FLV to Quicktime or any other movie format

2006-12-05 Thread Sean Scott

I've been able to convert FLVs in the past using FFMPEG a great little
tool on the mac.  However with on2 codec FLVs I have not been able to
convert them to quicktime or Movs.

Has anyone successfully converted on2 FLVs back to quicktime or AVI or
anything really.

Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] Text to MP3

2007-03-27 Thread Sean Scott

Not sure about a company that offer those services although i am sure there
are ones out there.  But you can basically create that yourself by looking
into SOX (soundExchange) and LAME.

Both are open source / freeware utilities that run on both windows and
linux/unix.  They will require some work on your end to get there.

Hope this helps

Hey list,

Does anyone know of an easy way to convert text to mp3 on the fly?
Ideally some company would run a service with a REST interface, so I
could just send my text via a querystring, and it would send back some
XML detailing the URL of the mp3, and maybe an indication of when the
mp3 might be converted... well that's what i'd like ideally...

I guess the other possibility is finding some component to install on
my own server, but this might not be possible...

any ideas anyone?

Re: [Flashcoders] Issues with Limelight/Streaming Video

Will,

Sounds like their RTMP port is allowing you to handshake but it's not
pushing any kind of data.

Have you tried using Charles to see what kind of data you are receiving?

Hope this helps

you've tried port 1935, 443  80?

Hope that helps

 *The Problem:
 *Currently we're using Limelight as our CDN for streaming video, and
 we've randomly been getting these strange
 'blackouts' - you load the file, the netConnection is successful, the
 netStream connects correctly, you load the movie, then ... nothing. Just
 a blank screen, no video at all. I've traced out the status of each
 step, and nothing is throwing and error - it all thinks it's working
 correctly - except nothing plays. The kicker is that the SAME file,
 untouched, will be working fine - then all of a sudden, for two hours,
 it's not - then, it's working again. We've tested this with Adobe's FLV
 playback compononet, custom classes, custom players,
 barebones-4-line-actionscript, etc.

 We've talked to Limelight support, they have no idea and have offered no
 suggestions. We've checked our internal network for port blocking, etc -
 and it's all fine, correct ports open.


 *The Question:*
 Now before we all say Limelight sucks, I was wondering if anyone has
 had any problems like this with Limelight or any other CDN before? Or
 can offer any suggestions for troubleshooting?



 Many thanks for your help!
