[Flashcoders] create and save flv's dynamically

2006-10-06 Thread Jamie S

Hi All,

I've been interested in developing an online video editing tool similar to
jumpcut.com, eyespot.com etc. I know how to upload video clips trough the
flash client, convert them to flv's with ffmpeg and display them back in the
client with cute thumbnails. But how do I let people combine the clips and
add transitions and effects and then save it out again as a new flv?

Is this even possible?

I thought about saving the new edited clip to a server running Flash Media
Server as a shared object but then from there is there any way to save it
out as an flv?

I also though about exporting each frame as an image and re-combining it on
the server but this seems like a hell of a lot of work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
J

I'll try Danny's suggestions after the weekend.

Hello Andreas,

your CatmullRomSpline is really impressive, but it draws not a real ellipse.
If it would, this code should produce a circle, right? var points:Array =

var spline:CatmullRomSpline = new CatmullRomSpline(points);
var approxLineLength:Number = 3;
spline.plotAll(mc, approxLineLength);

How is the bend of the curve defined?

Re: [Flashcoders] centering printed content

2006-10-06 Thread Jim Gay

Does anyone have experience centering a PrintJob?
I'm unable to manipulate the location of the printed object on the  
paper.


One option is to include a large page-sized rectangle behind the  
visible content and set it's _alpha to 0. Centre your visible  
content within this area.


David


Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, I'm resizing the content based upon the pageHeight and  
pageWidth, so I'm not checking for landscape or portrait orientation.


It sounds to me (from your response and the lack of others) that I'll  
possibly need to resize the stage or come up with some other workaround.

[Flashcoders] BitmapData security (rendering problems)

2006-10-06 Thread Benjamin Dobler
Hi All,

 

i have a strange problem with the BitmapData draw()-method. I have an
application that loads swfs from another domain and draws them on Stage. I
have set all security relevant things like System.allowDomain().
The images loads fine and the draw method works most of the time.  The
strange thing is that sometimes i will get some strange rendering artefacts.
And sometimes the Bitmaps do not get drawn. For example i load a 360 degree
view of a car and if i rotate the car the images disapear (draw() does not
work). Another thing is that i alpha blend two images drawn as BitmapData
and attached to two movieclips. This works smooth locally or if everything
is on the same server but it flickers if ist on two different domains.
Everything works fine when on the same server.

 

Save my weekend please ;-) Any ideas?

 

Cheers

[Flashcoders] What's the role of Halo VScrollBar Assets' BtnUpArrow (was: Scrollpane thumb problem)

2006-10-06 Thread Mendelsohn, Michael
Hi list...

I had a problem where the scrollbar component thumb was moving up too
high over the up arrow.  I figured it out, but I'm puzzled by something.

In my Halo skins for VSCrollBarAssets, the BtnUpArrow was resized
smaller, causing the problem.  But, it seems to me that that this mc in
the Halo skins' Scrollbar Assets just defines some sort of hitArea for
the ScrollUpArrowUp mc.  Am I right about this?  I suspect that because
redesigning it doesn't seem to do anything.  What's its role?

Re: [Flashcoders] Movieclip event hook back to class instance?

2006-10-06 Thread slangeberg

My problem is finding a way for the preloader class instance to tell when

the

movieclip reaches a certain frame or frame label


Actually, I prefer to set things up in an event-based model. I don't have
the code in front of me, but if you look at the EventDispatcher class, you
can have whatever movie is doing the loading to add listeners to that which
was loaded:

myClip.addEventListener( "complete", Delegate.create( this, onComplete ) );

and inside of myClip, you'll need to:

this.dispatchEvent( {type:"complete", target:this} );

Unfortunately this behavior is not built into MovieClip... Just some
ideas...

Hi all!

I have a (hopefully not too ignorant) question relating to movieclips

It's called from whatever object that does dynamic loading of content

anything, as long as a basic movieclip structure is followed). It all
works great.

However, when the loading is done I want the dynamically created mc
to play an "outro" animation that is preanimated in the movieclip (as
opposed to animated via AS, that would be easy ;) ). My problem is
finding a way for the preloader class instance to tell when the

looking for something like "mc.onframelabel" to hook a function to, I
guess that was naive. :)

Can I in some way create a hook myself, or do I have to create a
watcher object that checks each frame where the playhead is in my
dynamic loader movieclip? Would certainly work, but it's not very
elegant. My goal is to keep the preloader movieclip code-free.

Anyway, I hope I managed to describe the problem. Apologies for any
ignorance and any terms/keywords used out of context. I'm pretty new
to more advanced actionscript, but have many moons of general coding
experience. :)

RE: [Flashcoders] Movieclip event hook back to class instance?

2006-10-06 Thread Alain Rousseau
Hi Dan,

I think that what you'll have to do is create your own event and dispatch it
using the EventDispatcher Class.

First you'll need to initialize your "outro" mc with event dispatcher

// in mc timeline's first frame
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
var addEventListener:Function;
var removeEventListener:Function;
var dispatchEvent:Function;

EventDispatcher.initialize(this);

// further in the mc on chosen frame
this.dispatchEvent( {target:this, type:"onFrameLabel", label:"endOutro"});


Now all you need is a listener object for that event in your code :

import mx.utils.Delegate; // or whatever Delegate class you use - Proxy or
dynamicflash's Delegate
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onFrameLabel = Delegate.create(this, myActions);

outroMC.addEventListener("onFrameLabel", listener);

function myActions(evtObj:Object) {
trace(evtObj.target+" Dispatched event "+evtObj.type+" at frame
label "+evtObj.label);
// do whatever you want here 
if (evtObj.label == "endOutro") {
trace("end of outro");
}
}


If you don't want to use the timeline you could use setInterval (or
setTimeout if you use Flash 8) to delay the event dispatching to a certain
amount of time.

Re: [Flashcoders] Class Problem + Bad attitudes

2006-10-06 Thread slangeberg

Unfortunately the condescending attitudes have been pretty thick her on

the list lately.

I've noticed the same thing here and on a local Flash list. Not sure if it's
because the programmers who're drawn to Flash tend to be tender young
bas+ards, or is it just that programmers in general are condescending punks?

That said, most of you could stand to learn a lot from myself.

Hello Andreas,

your CatmullRomSpline is really impressive, but it draws not a real ellipse.
If it would, this code should produce a circle, right? var points:Array =

var spline:CatmullRomSpline = new CatmullRomSpline(points);
var approxLineLength:Number = 3;
spline.plotAll(mc, approxLineLength);

How is the bend of the curve defined?

Yeah, we did need the transparent because of the skin we were using

in this office last week but it seems to work reliably in all modern

Unfortunately, removing the wmode setting didn't actually make any

using the default settings for one run).

Anyhow. Issue has been resolved for now.

Does this help?


That might have helped, but the problem wasn't with loading the SWF.
It was with the SWF in turn loading the FLV. We had the following
structure:

something.html
/dir/something.swf
/dir/something.flv

The SWF itself was then trying to load the FLV from the same
directory. This worked in flash 8 and in flash 9 for firefox.
Unfortunately, flash 9 for IE apparently told the SWF (somewhere...
not in _url as just proven) it lived in the same folder as the HTML...
not where it was actually being loaded from.

Again, we found a workaround. By making the swf more generic and
passing in a parameter telling it where to find the video, it seems to
work reliably across different plugin versions.

Yeah... I checked that and it doesn't seem to have made any
difference. My test case is at http://enemyhideout.com/~ammon/urltest.

It simply loads a swf in a subdir that displays this._url to a text
field on a green background.

Works the same in different browsers.

RE: [Flashcoders] Dynamically creating swf

2006-10-06 Thread Pranav Negandhi
I tried to download the SDK from Adobe's site, but it just gave me a
form to fill up. I was told I'd be emailed at a later date about the
licensing details.

The best I can find as of now is Ming, available at
http://www.osflash.org/ming. It's a C library, but maybe you could drop
into it from your managed code and use it.

There's another tool called swfmill, which is also open source, but it's
a command line tool, which I guess won't be an option for you.

[Flashcoders] Movieclip event hook back to class instance?

2006-10-06 Thread Daniel Forslund|Lists

Hi all!

I have a (hopefully not too ignorant) question relating to movieclips  
created on the fly.
Basically, I have a preloader class that is generic and reusable.  
It's called from whatever object that does dynamic loading of content  
and then in turn invokes a movieclip from a passed symbol name(can be  
anything, as long as a basic movieclip structure is followed). It all  
works great.


However, when the loading is done I want the dynamically created mc  
to play an "outro" animation that is preanimated in the movieclip (as  
opposed to animated via AS, that would be easy ;) ). My problem is  
finding a way for the preloader class instance to tell when the  
movieclip reaches a certain frame or frame label (and is done with  
the outro). I can't find a suitable event to hook into? I guess I was  
looking for something like "mc.onframelabel" to hook a function to, I  
guess that was naive. :)


Can I in some way create a hook myself, or do I have to create a  
watcher object that checks each frame where the playhead is in my  
dynamic loader movieclip? Would certainly work, but it's not very  
elegant. My goal is to keep the preloader movieclip code-free.


Anyway, I hope I managed to describe the problem. Apologies for any  
ignorance and any terms/keywords used out of context. I'm pretty new  
to more advanced actionscript, but have many moons of general coding  
experience. :)


Many thanks in advance,
Dan

Re: [Flashcoders] geometry // oval around text

2006-10-06 Thread Matthias Dittgen

Hello Andreas,

your CatmullRomSpline is really impressive, but it draws not a real
ellipse. If it would, this code should produce a circle, right?
var points:Array = new Array(
{x: 0, y:  0},
{x: 0, y: 50},
{x:50, y: 50},
{x:50, y:  0},
{x: 0, y:  0});
var spline:CatmullRomSpline = new CatmullRomSpline(points);
var approxLineLength:Number = 3;
spline.plotAll(mc, approxLineLength);

How is the bend of the curve defined?
Matthias


2006/10/5, Andreas Weber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Instead of re-inventing the wheel (which can be a lot of fun!) you might
find it easier to use an already existing Spline class, e.g. my CatmullRom
Spline:

http://www.motiondraw.com/md/as_samples/t/CatmullRomSpline/closedShape.html

The advantage is that you can just pass in the corner points of the
textfield (or, if you want some 'padding', it's easy to calculate the
corners of the outer rectangle) - the spline will automatically curve
through these points.

Hello,

I need a tipp for drawing an oval around a dynamic textfield with variable
line numbers and variable width? Perhaps, someone can point me to a good
tutorial dealing with such geometry questions. The drawOval methods I am
using have width and height as parameters, but of course I can't use width
and height of the textfield without a
padding. How can I calculate an i   appropriate padding?
The drawOval methods:

public function drawOval_Old(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number,
height:Number):Void {
movieClip.lineStyle(lw, lc, la);
movieClip.moveTo(x,y+height/2);
movieClip.curveTo(x,y,x+width/2, y);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width,y,x+width, y+height/2);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width,y+height, x+width/2, y+height);
movieClip.curveTo(x,y+height, x, y+height/2);
}

public function drawOval(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number,
height:Number):Void {
x+=width/2;
y+=height/2;
width/=2;
height/=2;
var j:Number = width * 0.70711;
var n:Number = height * 0.70711;
var i:Number = j - (height - n) * width/height;
var m:Number = n - (width - j) * height/width;
movieClip.lineStyle(lw, lc, la);
movieClip.moveTo(x+width, y);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width, y-m, x+j, y-n);
movieClip.curveTo(x+i, y-height, x, y-height);
movieClip.curveTo(x-i, y-height, x-j, y-n);
movieClip.curveTo(x-width, y-m, x-width, y);
movieClip.curveTo(x-width, y+m, x-j, y+n);
movieClip.curveTo(x-i, y+height, x, y+height);
movieClip.curveTo(x+i, y+height, x+j, y+n);
movieClip.curveTo(x+width, y+m, x+width, y);
}

[Flashcoders] ... client server flash dev

2006-10-06 Thread Guy Parton
hi everyone,

last night i received an email reviewing a very well designed site
(visually) ... and then i came to the following line in the article :

"SQL statements are sent directly from in flash via PHP to access
records from the database..."

now i have not developed a flash application in ages, but i have been part
of a web development team for sometime now - and one thing i have learnt
over the years is that your sql NEVER sits on your client - ie in the SWF -
or have i missed something.

any other thoughts, agreements, disagreements about this application design
approach in flash - i would be interested in.

tia

:)

Re: [Flashcoders] flv not playing in IE with Flash 9

2006-10-06 Thread Hans Wichman

Hi,
don't know if it helps, but for example ._url might yield something
different in flash 9 then in flash 8.
Which means the resulting path in 9 is different from that in 8, which might
in turn cause content to break.
Not saying that was the problem here, but it might well be.

Sigh. And here I was wasting my time trying to be polite to you. YES I
could see other SWF's in that browser. Sheesh.

Anyways. Resolution to the problem has been achieved. In stead of hard
coding the flv into the swf, we're passing it in as an argument when
instantiating it from the html. And it works.

There seems to be an issue with directory locations. The flv was
trying to load relative to the swf, NOT the html file. So why this
happens in flash 9 for IE, I don't know, nor do I care any more at
this point. But the incident has been logged for future reference when
we encounter the bug again.

Re: [Flashcoders] Hough transform

2006-10-06 Thread Matthias Dittgen

What are you trying to do, dan?

2006/10/6, Martin Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I dont have a simple way to do it but I can point you to some teaching materials
so you can learn how to do it.

http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/users/davidy/teachvision/vision0.html

There are some good descriptions of implementing the hough transform and other
techniques for finding shapes like active contour models.

There might be better resources on the web but I know these as it was the course
I did way back when I was an undergraduate. :)

RE: [Flashcoders] Dynamically creating swf

2006-10-06 Thread Pranav Negandhi
I've never created a .swf dynamically, but I suppose it's a fairly
common task. A quick search on Google threw up the following -

http://osflash.org/doku.php?id=sharpflash
http://www.swfkit.com/products.html#activex
http://www.globfx.com/products/neoswiff/ (also check
http://www.globfx.com/products/neoswiff/helloworld.php)

HTH.
