Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 & detect end of FLV
Hi Eric.
There are three ways that I know of to detect the end of an FLV. WARNING. I
haven't tested this code, or looked it over for best practices, etc.
1) The simplest way is to use the FLVPlayback component and use the complete
event. (The following assumes an FLVPlayback component is on stage and
instantiated as "myVid", and haven't changed anything else. Without
autoplay, for example, you'd have to add a line to play the vid, etc. You
can also create an instance if it's in your library if that's better.):
**
import fl.video.*;
myVid.source = ".flv";
myVid.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, vidEnd);
function vidEnd(evt:VideoEvent):void {
trace("FLV has ended");
}
**
2) The second method is pretty much the same, but doesn't rely on the
FLVPlayback component. Instead, it uses the VideoPlayer class.
**
import fl.video.*;
var vidPlayer:VideoPlayer = new VideoPlayer();
addChild(vidPlayer);
vidPlayer.play(".flv");
vidPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, vidEnd);
function vidEnd(evt:VideoEvent):void {
trace("FLV has ended");
}
**
This reduces file size because you aren't using the component, but it
doesn't have a controller, or all the capabilities of the component (such as
seeking to cue points). You also have to add code if you're streaming the
video, because the component takes care of that for you. I haven't done that
yet, so you'll have to look that up in the docs, sorry. I haven't had a need
to save on file size so significantly that I skip the component. However,
using this method does allow you to do things 100% with code, so you don't
need the component in the library to begin with.
3) If you need to know the end is nigh, you'll need to look for the video's
metadata. As far as this being "reliable" goes, this method requires that
the metadata be in the FLV. Although different encoders add different ranges
of features, most do add 'duration' metadata. You can also probably inject
it using one of the third party metadata injectors, after the video has been
encoded.
To look for the metadata, you'd write an object that is assigned to the
NetStream. Here's a simple example.
**
var vidConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
vidConnection.connect(null);
var vidStream:NetStream = new NetStream(vidConnection);
var vidDuration:Number;
var vidClient:Object = new Object();
vidClient.onMetaData = function (md:Object):void {
vidDuration = md.duration;
}
vidStream.client = vidClient;
var myVideo:Video = new Video();
myVideo.x = myVideo.y = 100;
myVideo.attachNetStream(vidStream);
addChild(myVideo);
vidStream.play(".flv");
**
>From there you can do something like this (though more efficient?):
**
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkVid);
function checkVid(evt:Event):void {
var timeDiff = (vidDuration - vidStream.time)
if (timeDiff < 3 && timeDiff > 0) {
trace("The video will end in less than 3 seconds");
}
}
**

Re: [Flashcoders] swf to jpeg
you could take an internal screenshot of the stage via BitmapData.draw() and save that as a jpg using a server. See Marios Bitmap Exporter: http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000572.php but you will need a server and it is quite slow and processor intensive to save big images this way. Tho for a desktop solution you might need a different approach, you might need Apollos File I/O or maybe Screenwaver.org has some support for it .. best uli On 4/22/07, 2 lakes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, This was just covered recently in thread discussing a coke site.

Re: [Flashcoders] swf to jpeg
I know that you can extract the bitmap Data from a movieClip and attach it to an empty movieClip by using the BitmapData class. You cannot save, though, the movieClip BitmapData on your computer by using actionscript. You'll need a Flash expander tool as Zinc for example... It can save bitmaps from the mc's on the hardisk, in many formats. On 4/22/07, 2 lakes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, This was just covered recently in thread discussing a coke site.

[Flashcoders] Papervision3D Terrain Demo with USGS SDTS DEM data
http://www.overset.com/2007/04/21/papervision3d-terrain-map-of-mammoth-mountain-ski-area/ Just put together a simple proof-of-concept by taking the USGS D.E.M. (Digital Elevation Model) data in SDTS format, converted it to a huge array of Vertex3D objects and did a ghetto-fab "triangulation" of the vertices for the Face3D objects. I'd honestly LOVE to put together a SDTS DEM to papervision3d Mesh3D conversion utility to literally load SDTS data on the fly, but that will not happen too soon =[ It appears to be 3080 Vertex3D objects and 5933 Face3D objects with my ghetto-triangulation. The "wireframe" texture with doubleSided=false seems to do alright in terms of performance and falls within the 15sec script execution limitation. We'll see how this does with a texture applied, if I can even accomplish this easily. ..comments? -- Jim Palmer !

[Flashcoders] [Partially OT] NY Area CS3 Workshop
A couple of my students have asked that I post information here about a near-free CS3 Workshop that I'm doing in New York, in which Flash topics such as AS3 migration, Suite app integration, and CS3 Components will be covered. I searched for list policies about such things and couldn't find any guidelines. This is partially on-topic because of the Flash segments, but it also covers other CS3 apps so that's not really on-point. I don't typically like reading posts in this forum that are too oriented to promoting non-Flash things, so I'd like to satisfy the request but limit the info to off-list. If you are interested, and are in the NY area, you can visit the following url to learn more about a not-for-profit (it's only $25), half-day CS3 Workshop on Sunday, May 6 at the NY Hilton. http://www.fmaonline.com/shop/ If you are interested and decide to come by, introduce yourself and mention FlashCoders. I'd like to meet some of you face to face.

I think I wasted a bit of your email blabbing about security. The reality is, you don't want a dongle, it just complicates things, and hardware is generally expensive. A decent and original licensing scheme ought to work fine. I think I can come up with some solutions for this...
