[flexcoders] video - capture and save locally

[thibodeau.alain]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or know of resources that I can start 
reading on how to capture a webcam and audio, then save it to the local file 
system?

I am already doing this using FMS and saving it on the server. I want to expand 
the application to save locally and not to FMS or using FMS. 

Ideally, I would like a web and desktop version. So a flex and Air version. 
I've saved photos using FileReference before with player 10, but how can I 
expand that to video and audio?

I did find this: http://tdotblog.info/?q=node/1 but seems outdated and the flv 
saved is buggy...

any help or direction would be appreciated.

Thank-you

[flexcoders] calling a function from swf

[thibodeau.alain]

Hi all,
I am thinking this is simple, but I cannot find the proper way of doing this. 

I have a flex application that loads a swf file. I want to be able to call a 
function that is in the flex application from the swf file. 

>From my fla I tried calling _root, Application.application, _parent... 

Anyone know how I can do this ?

thanks!

[flexcoders] AsyncToken with special chars

[thibodeau.alain]

Hi there,

I've run into an issue that I am sure others have, but I cannot find a 
solution. I am using cairngorm with a webservice. I need to send in my soap 
body the less than and greater than characters. In my mxml based on user input, 
I use <>. I follow the call and flex converts the <> to <> until 
the AsyncToken gets a hold of it. It should convert it back to <> for the 
soap call, however it takes the first & and converts that too.. so the outgoing 
soap looks like this "<>" instead of "<>".

Anyone know why this is happening or a solution?

Thanks in advance

[flexcoders] FileReference save security

[thibodeau.alain]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a work around for the FileReference 
save security. More specifically that it must be a user event that 
drives the save otherwise it will not do it. I am using Cairngorm and 
long story short, but the time I am done rendering the image and 
wanting to save it, the user event is long gone and I get security 
error. For now I am using the old way of sending data to a server, 
however, I would like to be able to use the FileReference.save

any ideas?

thank-you

[flexcoders] Image->swfLoader->memory

Hi all,
I am building a photo library using tileList and the 

[flexcoders] Webservice with Dynamic request?

[thibodeau.alain]

Hi All,

I am not sure how to go about this and couldn't find a sample 
anywhere...I am trying to consume a webservice that contains dynamic 
request data. Meaning that my request will change depending on what 
the user has entered... I've always used services that had the same 
request params, but in this case they change...

I tried building out in AS my request like this:

 webService.SearchParams.request 
= "stringstringstring";

And I have been staring at the request tag not knowing how to make 
it "loop"


  




  string
  string
  string




   
  

I hope it's clear what I am trying to accomplish and that someone can 
point me in the correct direction...

thank-you!
