[F8] Adding Texture Without Aliasing
so im making this animation, and i added this 'grain' texture to this concrete floor for my background. but as i zoom in/out the edges of it become very glitchy, and shaky. i thought that using illustrator CS would resolve the problem because it is vector based. do you guys have any ideas on how i can fix this?
Adding That Photorealistic Texture On A Flash Site
Hi,
I am a novice Flash designer who is desperately trying to get out of designing "simple". Many people, like corporations do like the simple and clean style but my friend has a poetry performance group and I want my Flash homepage (at least the homepage) to reflect what the group is all about. My current inspiration? Going to movie sites.
Wouldn't you agree that whether or not the movie sucks or not, the Flash site accurately creates a vision from the movie? Look at The Longest Yard or Sky Captain. But my question is what are the techniques used to create a photo-realistic look for a Flash site while keeping the file size low and the quality high? What are the techniques for developing the concept of a photorealistic site?
Finally, has anyone created a Flash site for poets?
Texture Overlay Or Texture Replacement
One of the companies I look after is looking to expanding the capabilities of their website. It is a CounterTop business (kitchens, bathrooms).
I’ve been asked to see if I can take a kitchen image, and from a selection of countertop samples overlay them on to the image (just the counters that is), depending on what selection the user clicks on, so they can get a look and feel as to what it would look like.
So, think of a large square area.... to the left is a long column of countertop samples, perhaps the name attached to the samples. Than as you click on a sample, the countertops in the picture change to match the sample you just clicked.
I’m assuming this would be done in flash…. But how? I really need some help on this one.
Thanks,
Josh
Screenshot/Export Image Of A Live SWF Scene?
Is there any way that Flash can take a screenshot or export an image of a current live SWF scene? (outside of Flash itself, of course)
Basically I have a sketchpad-type of movie I'm working on, and I want to be able to have Flash take a screenshot of everything in the movie, which I can download or see later. For the basic sketching principle, I'm using lineTo and moveTo.
Is there any plugin or component that allows me to do this? Thanks.

Attachnetstream And Live Video
Hello,
I have been trying to create a player that will read a live video stream from a FMS. For some reason I am not getting it right as our current player is successfully working using actionscript 2. Can you take a look and see what could be wrong with my actionscript?
Code:
var myVideo:Video = new Video();
addChild(myVideo);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://*****.rtmphost.com/appname/_definst_");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
myVideo.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("stream");
I then create a video object in flash and name it myVideo.
This is not working and I would appreciate any input that you might have.
Thank You,
Jeff
I Want To Have A Live Video In My Flash.
I am extremely new to flash. I had an idea for this project I am working on for class. I would like to have a live video in my flash. I have gotten relativly close wiht some things I have found but I have been un able to get it in the flash when it publishes.
I just need some help or even hints to help me do it myself. I guess I am not sure I completely understand all the hoops I have to jump through. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
JH
Oh I am on a mac with a built in camera and Adobe flash cs3.
Live Video Layering?
Anyone heard of anyone doing any realtime alpha channel creation and multiple camera input stream layering in flash? I would hope that there could be access to at least two camera instances or am I mistaken in thinking this.
Video Does Not Show Up Live
I have added a video to a movie clip using the basic wizard in flash CS3 which I am then adding to a .aspx page: http://www.samanthasclosetlingerie.com/intimate.aspx.
The video plays great on my local machine but on the server, it just spins and never plays.
Any recommendations?

Live Video Streaming
I would like to be able to stream live video from one point to another point over an IP network. Do I need Flash for this. Is this the best method. I assume I would then use Flash Server.
Flash Live Video To SIP
We have a SIP server which supports video calls (with various different codecs). We want to be able to handle video calls between a Flash client and a SIP client - is this feasible? If so would it require a live transcode (= hardware intensive)?
Help much appreciated.

How To Animate Within Live Video?
Hi all, new to the boards.
My dad and I had an idea for a project. I'll give a quick rundown. We want to get a remote-controlled helicopter and put a wireless camera on the front of it. We can do that no problem. We're going to have the camera transmit its signal to a receiver hooked up to my laptop, and we're going to see what the helicopter "sees" from there. Furthermore, we're going to get some video glasses that receive their video input from the laptop, so it'll be as if we're inside the helicopter seeing what it sees.
All that has nothing to do with Flash. However, I want to take it a bit further. Flying around is cool and all, but I thought it'd be interesting if, when we pressed a button, it'd be like the helicopter shot some explosive bullets and made tiny explosions wherever they hit at the end of their animation.
So my question is, is it possible to have live running within a Flash execution with animation running over it? If so, how? What version do I need, etc?
Thanks in advance!
Bugs In FMS 2.0 And Live Video?
Hi all,
I have heard rumors of a bug in FMS 2.0 when streaming live video on a large scale. Can anyone elaborate on this?
I have also heard there is an FMS 2.5 release that contains fixes but it is currently only available to CDNs. Is this true?
Should I be concerned about deploying a large-scale live video app on FMS 2.0?
Thanks,
Barry
Video Broadcast (Not Live)
Hi *,
we are seriously considering to purchase FMS for a customer application, but we need to know if it is possible to stream in broadcast FLV videos that are stored on the server (building a playlist).
Reading about the FMS features i found a lot of examples of _live_ video streaming, handled by using a "camera" object etc. (you surely know better than me what i'm talking about). But i didn't find any example of broadcast streaming of a flv video file _not_ live. Has anybody already done this with FMS?
Thanks!

Recording Live Video
Is it possible for an swf to record live webcam video, using the netstream publish method, to the same directory as the swf is located without using flash media server? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Flash To SIP Live Video - Can Anyone Help?
We are looking for a simple solution that enables a 2-way video call between a SIP client and a browser-based Flash client (which grabs the webcam).
Does anyone have any ideas as to where we should look? Does anyone want to build this for us for a fee?
Help appreciated - this is an immediate requirement so let me know if you'd like more details around this.
Live Video On The FMS 3 Machine
Hi All,
we are rather new to FMS but we already are trying it for sending live streams from webcams on clients to the FMS via the livestream application provided as a reference by Adobe. Our question - how (maybe through republishing?) can we actually VIEW the incoming video in LIVE mode on the FMS machine itself while the sessions are happening? This could be useful for on-line real time moderation, for example.
So basically we have client machine A with a webcam streaming live video to FMS machine B, and we want to see the stream live on Machine B.
TIA,
the 3g4all team.

Time Of Live Video
If I stream a live video through fms, can I get a timestamp from the streamed video?
I would like to know what time from the video that the user pressed a button. I tried netstream.time but it starts at 0 when someone starts streaming the live video.
FMS 3 - Choppy Live Video
We were using FMS2 for a while and recently switched to 3.0.2, ever since then our video is being really choppy. The config files changed quite a bit so we are unsure if we missed settings somewhere or what. Our stream used to be extremely smooth. We are using on2 vp6 for our streaming, we use stream from digital rapids and we push 2 streams up 512k and 350k. The network checked out fine from our streaming location. We currently have 1 origin and 2 edge servers.
Anything you guys can point us towards would be great.
EDIT: We noticed a better stream going back to FME, from Streams. We are calling Streams on Monday to see if its a version issue since we switched to FMS3.

Hi!
I've been researching on how streaming video works in Flash 8, I've managed to create a streaming video example using flash and a .wmv file converted into .flv.. Now I am trying to create a live streaming video which the source of the movie is through live data (webcams, video recorders, etc). Can anyone help me with it? It would really be appreciated.
Thanks!

FCS & Live Video Webcast
Hi,
I have a very simple flash program, which takes a video stream from a webcam, and publishes it to a Flash Communication Server.
I then have a viewer program, that taks that stream and shows it on a web page.
It all works fine, apart from one thing. If i add the following code to the broadcast program, to up the quality of the video:
office_cam.setQuality(0, 100);
office_cam.setMode(320, 240, 10);
The viewer program no longer shows the stream - but the app_inspector still shows the publish and playing live streams fine.
FCS is on a linux box, and all this is over a LAN - the licence is a 10mb/2500 user licence, so bandwidth is not an issue.
Any help on this would be greatly appriceated - as i am at a loss.
Many thanks,
Elliot.
Live Video Webcast
anybody done this? (im not actually stuck on using flash, i just have no clue where to start)
there seems to be hosting companies who specialize in this and tend to be pricey. i only need (for the time being) to do a ONE TIME broadcast. so it seems strange to have to sign up with a host and pay monthly fees etc.
im looking for cheapest, most trouble-free way to do this. any suggestions from experienced persons greatly appreciated.
thanks!

Live Video In Flash Authoring
Hello, is it possible to somehow have a live video feed into flash? I am going to be doing some filming soon and I need the actor to interact and be align with my interface design. I saw on 'Meet You Match' (http://www.macromedia.com/software/studio/experience/) that it is possible, I've had a look on the internet about how to do it, but it all seems increadibly complected with the need to install Flash Communication server. Is that really needed?
I have downloaded the trail, to see if I could make head or trails from it but I couldn't even connect...?? :S
Please can someone help......
Cheers.

Making Video From A LIVE Swf File?
Hi all,
This time I really stuck on a tech problem.
My client wants the flash product i've made on a dvd. To do this I need to render it to video, however 80% of the project scripted, and most of it is handled with xml, a database and seperate swf's etc..
To make things even harder, it's in fullscreen 1024x768.
Has anyone come accross this type of problem? is there some sort of program that can record to .avi a live swf?
thanks for your help!!
Live Video Chat, Pixelated.
Is there anything I can do to my FMS2 server to make the video in my Flash Live video chat room stream better? Should I contact the video chat creator?
I've already tried changing the video setting FPS 16, Audio rate 11, Qaulity 85, Bandwidth 64800... the video is still pixelated. the video window size is set to 172x142 so its not large at all. Any suggestions?
Drawing Over Live Flash Video
In a short description I need to manipulate Flash video LIVE and NOT manipulating it using Flash software. Main gold is to play video and in the same time I need for example to draw something over this video using mouse. Like I am showing some pointers to the public. And this actions/drawing I performed should be poddible to RECORD because there will be option to record this presentation I made. After that if shouled be able to manipulate this video in some other way .
I researched through internet but I could not find any tutorial which can provide me with guidance in this direction I need, so if someone can point me to anything I would be very grateful.
thanks

Webcast, Live Video Stream
Hi,
My customer asked me if I can add to the flash website something called webcast, which is / as he explained / live video streaming.
I totally have no clue what elements are required for this?
I mean how does it work? Where is the video kept?
Sorry If I ask silly questions but can anyone explain me how does live video work and is it possible to make it in flash MX? If so, how?
thanks

Broadcast Prerecorded Video As Live
Here is the problem. I need to publish a recorded video so that when others connect they all start at the same position as if it was a live broadcast.
Is there something else I could use instead of ns.attachVideo(Camera.get()); so that I can attach the video file instead of a camera? Or is there a program that can play a video that can replicate a camera driver?
Can't Play Video From Live Stream
Hi!
My prog consists of thee parts: first part - broadcaster - publishes stream to the second part - server. Server republishes it to the other host-address and player tries to play it from there. Streams are created, but there is no picture why it can be, and how I can fix it? Aproximatly my code looks like:
ActionScript Code:
/////////////// BROADCASTER ///////////////////////
br_ns = new NetStream(nc);
br_ns.attachAudio(source_mic);
br_ns.attachVideo(source_cam);
br_ns.publish("myStream", "live");
/////////////// SERVER ///////////////////////
in_ns = new NetStream(nc);
in_ns.setBufferTime(2);
in_ns.play("myStream");
out_ns = new NetStream(nc_OTHER);
out_ns.setBufferTime(2);
out_ns.attachVideo(in_ns);
out_ns.attachAudio(in_ns);
out_ns.publish("myStream_out", "live");
/////////////// PLAYER ///////////////////////
pl_ns = new NetStream(nc_OTHER);
pl_ns.setBufferTime(2);
myVidObj.attachVideo(pl_ns);
pl_ns.play("myStream_out");
In App Inspector all streams are fine: myStream_out is publishing and playing live, but THERE IS NO PICTURE.
But, If player will take the stream just from the broadcaster (without server) all works fine! What can be wrong in server?
