You'd have to use a virtual camera software/driver to do so.
ManyCam is one that pretty much does what you want.
https://manycam.com/

The output resolution is limited though for the free version.

Also keep in mind that ManyCam will recompress the input (video file).

Once installed, a ManyCam virtual camera will appear as an option in 
Flash/Flex/AIR.

One way to do it would be via FFMpeg.

You can run FFMpeg via a NativeProcess from AIR. However, the air
application then needs to be compiled as a native application (exe, dmg).

No idea why they didn't implement it, but you have to use their
proprietary client to do the streaming.

Wowza allows you to stream MP4 files via an HTTP Post, which you can
do with AIR/Flex.  The only gotcha I would note is the file size that
you want to stream -- anything over 2GB will start to cap out the
memory in the AIR client and won't produce favorable results.

Re: [DISCUSS] Name of the FlexJS Fork

[Peter Ginneberge]

I kept repeating "Bead" over and over in my head and all of a sudden turned it 
into "Beadle", which I think has a much nicer ring to it.


Then looked it up and apparently it's an existing word (didn't think it was, 
but then again, English isn't my native language).


Beadle: sometimes spelled "bedel", is an official of a church or synagogue who 
may usher, keep order, make reports, and assist in religious functions; or a 
minor official who carries out various civil, educational, or ceremonial duties.

Re: [FalconJX] JS.swc actionscipt source for asdocs with the swc

[Peter Ginneberge]

To include asdocs in a (Flex) swc library, the following is required:

- Generate asdocs adding the following arguments (via Ant):
keep-xml = true
skip-xsl = true

- Create the swc as usual

- Add the generated asdocs to the swc minus 2 files that aren't needed 
(ASDoc_Config.xml and overviews.xml).


I've posted an ANT build that I use for one of my libs:
http://apaste.info/YgG

There's an article with some more info and another Ant sample build here:

Re: Can we unify spark and mx Sort and SortField?

[Peter Ginneberge]

I had a quick look yesterday and when I toggled mx only vs spark only I 
saw the mx.swc swapped for the spark.swc. A sparkskins.swc is added for spark 
only while there is no equivalent for mx only.


For AIR projects a sparkair.swc is also added, there is again no mx equivalent.

Both component sets have a framework.swc, which I guess contains common 
functionality used in both sets.

This may affect mx only projects (in FB at least) where spark related swc's

I'm making lots of changes to SortField and Sort, and I'm realising
that having two versions of these files is error prone and duplicates
effort. From what I can see, the differences are:

Between mx.collections.SortField and spark.collections.SortField:
1. lots of asdocs changes
2. spark version ignores the caseInsensitive option
3. spark version extends AdvancedStyleClient, and has some more
functions for dealing with styles (like a locale style)
4. spark version uses a SortingCollator to compare strings, while mx
version uses ObjectUtil.stringCompare(), which uses
String.localeCompare(). Not sure how different these are.
Apart from a couple of bug fixes applied to both (except the bugs I'm
working on right now, which I currently only applied to the mx
version), they both arrived from the Adobe donation with these
differences.

Between mx.collections.Sort and spark.collections.Sort:
1. again, lots of asdocs changes
2. again, spark version extends AdvancedStyleClient, and has some more
functions for dealing with styles (like a locale style)
3. mx version uses Array.sortOn when it can, while spark version
doesn't (in the sort() function)
And the same as above, apart from a couple commits, they both came
from the Adobe donation with these differences.

Questions:
1. Can the spark versions be used with the mx components which
currently use the mx versions of Sort and SortField? I.e.
AdvancedDataGrid, DataGrid and DefaultCubeImpl. Or would there be
problems about these new style functions, or other issues?
2. If we can get the above to work, can we get rid of the mx versions?
I think it's really important to remove duplication, because all
changes to one version (e.g. the ones that I'm now making to sorting)
might have unintended consequences when ported to the other version
(or, even worse, we'll simply forget to do it, and still keep the bug
in the other version), and maintaining two almost identical sets of
unit tests is just impractical - not only would we have to make
changes and fixes in two places, but we'd also have to update two sets
of unit tests each time.

Re: Garbage Collection Concern

[Peter Ginneberge]

Extend the list and add Event metadata of the additional events you want the 
item renderers to dispatch.

Here's an example of a custom TileList I'm currently using in a project.

[Event(name=imageClick, 
type=be.gip.twitch.multiviewer.events.TwitchListEvent)]
[Event(name=watch, type=be.gip.twitch.multiviewer.events.TwitchListEvent)]
[Event(name=visit, type=be.gip.twitch.multiviewer.events.TwitchListEvent)]
[Event(name=follow, type=be.gip.twitch.multiviewer.events.TwitchListEvent)]
[Event(name=unfollow, 
type=be.gip.twitch.multiviewer.events.TwitchListEvent)]
[Event(name=download, 
type=be.gip.twitch.multiviewer.events.TwitchListEvent)]

public class TwitchTileList extends TileList {

}

The TwitchListEvent then has constants for all these event types.

 public static const IMAGE_CLICK:String = imageClick;
 public static const WATCH:String = watch;
 public static const VISIT:String = visit;
 public static const FOLLOW:String = follow;
 public static const UNFOLLOW:String = unfollow;
 public static const DOWNLOAD:String = download;


The custom event extends ListEvent and also carries the index of the item (selectedIndex) that dispatched the event as the custom 
list itself is not selectable.

To determine the index from within the item renderer, I use the following.

  private function getItemIndex():int {
   var list:ListBase = owner as ListBase;
   return list.itemRendererToIndex(this);
  }

I also dispatch the event on the item renderers owner - data typed as 
ListBase - rather than using bubbling.

  private function dispatchTwitchEvent(type:String):void {
   var idx:int = getItemIndex();
   var evt:TwitchListEvent = new TwitchListEvent(type);
   evt.itemRenderer = this;
   evt.index = idx;
   owner.dispatchEvent(evt);
  }


If you want to get rid of the visual selection of an item in a list control, look into overriding the following methods and have 
them return nothing:

   drawHighlightIndicator
   drawSelectionIndicator

So - now, after attempting to add some event handlers here,  I remember why
I did what I did.
How on earth do you dispatch events from itemrenderers, and successfully
add handlers dynamically to the view?
First off, the mxml for the list is such that you merely indicate the class
to be utilized as an event handler so there's no way to actually add an
event handler (at least that I can see) for working object.
Second, handler's would need to be dynamically created and destroyed as
itemrenderers are created and destroyed - but if I can't access the working
objects as they're being created.
I mean, I guess I can listen for the creation of the ir object from the
list, and then add an event handler - but still, even if I do that, it
seems I can only add the handler to the list class - but it's the list
class. Do I need to extend it? No - I guess I can reference it, add a
handler, then point the handler to the view? If so, that's still doing the
same thing I was doing before. I'm calling a function of a parent class
from within a child.
This is starting to sound much more complicated than I'd imagine it should
be.
Is there an easy way round these issues? Am I missing the point? I found a
few suggestions on stackoverflow - but they're just as hacky as anything
I've tried or thought of.

 From an encapsulation perspective, the renderer shouldn't know its
parents.
 I always recommend dispatching an event, that bubbles from the renderer
and then handling it in the component that contains the list.

 In terms of memory management; I'm not sure though.  With your approach
you are creating a dependency on the list itemRenderer to its parent two
levels up.
 By using events that bubble, you are not creating that dependency.
