2 videos, 1 slowed in after effects, both streamed, do the math to  
jump to the appropriate timecode.

Suppose you are learning a foreign language, and the video contains
somebody speaking quickly. It might be useful to slow down the video
to hear them.


Most language video of this type is purpose made with people who  
speak at an appropriate speed for the learner. I guess that such  
projects will just exclude video that has people speaking too quickly.


If that is the basis for the slow-motion requirement, my opinion is  
that the slow-motion reuirement is pointless and counter-productive.

Hi Paul,


Thank you for your reply.

Just how can you play a sound slowly without altering the pitch?




Thanks, I overlooked this important implementation detail. Keep a
separate swf with the sound recorded slowly but with lowered  
pitch.
The video player loads both the video swf (with regular sound)  
and the
sound-only swf file (with slow sound). Then, when the slow  
button is
clicked, play the video swf slowly with no sound, and  
simultaneously

play the sound-only swf file at a synchronized location.

Maybe this would work with the flv solution so long as the sound- 
only

file is kept in swf format or in flv but streamed through a flash
media server instance, so that seeking could be done to non- 
keyframe

locations.



I would be amazed if it would work. Does anyone on the list know  
of any
site with slow-motion playback where the sound has retained the  
original

pitch?

The only way I can imagine it working is to raise the sound pitch  
of the
clip in proportion to the slowdown to try and retain the original  
pitch. I

have no idea if it's possible.

Good luck.


Thanks again,

Adam

Dear Flashcoders,


I must play an FLV in slow motion. After googling around for  
this for
several hours I've found many bad solutions. For example, the  
one at
http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2005/8/2/slowmo is  
extremely
choppy, whereas the one at http://richapps.de/?p=36 doesn't  
also play
the sound. I must play the sound slowly as well, without  
altering its

pitch.



Just how can you play a sound slowly without altering the pitch?

I have a solution in mind: I'm going to store each of my videos  
in SWF
format in one-minute segments. As each segment finishes  
downloading,
my custom player will start downloading the next segment, and  
will
play each of them back-to-back. I have proof that when a video  
is in

SWF format, it can be played in slow motion without noticeable
degradation in sound quality.

As you can tell, this solution is hacky and is going to take a  
lot of
work to implement. So, before implementing it, I wanted to  
make a
final check with the experts to make sure I'm not wasting my  
time.


Thank you,
Adam

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: Dispatching events to further listeners, but not to itself

Hello,

may I please rephrase my question,
maybe someone will have a hint for me?

By my PlayingCard objects I'd like to
dispatch 2 events: Event.CHANGE
and MouseEvent.CLICK

I do it because in my game you can
drag cards, but also you can select
them from a list and click a button.
So I could use same handler functions.

My problem with the MouseEvent.CLICK
is however that I receive it twice -
1 event comes from the PlayingCard
and another one seems to be dispatched
automatically.

Is there please a way to prevent the
latter event from being sent?

Thank you

Kelly,

As far as I know Flash can't receive data by any other means than  
TCP. So

your best route would probably be using socket connections.

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=0318.html

Using a socket connection you can transmit real-time binary data  
back and
forth between Flash and your server. Of course, you'll have to get a  
server

set up, which depending on what you need, shouldn't be too hard.

Once you get the hang of them, socket connections are fairly straight
forward and simple to use.

If you're deploying this as an AIR app, you might have some more  
options, I
haven't worked with AIR much so I'm not sure if there is another  
method you

can use.

Hope this helped.
