Flash :: Here's The Final Product

How Can I Crop An Image With Out Having White Space In The Final Product
I am trying to create a crop component or Class so that I could use a live video feed to create an ID Card Picture application.

For example> I have a live video feed(Camera) with a rectangle shape on top of the video feed, so that the user can drag the rectangle around the live video and select what he would want to be in the preview window.

The problem is this: The rectangle tool creates a white space around the top and left side of the preview window(which is a bitmap). In other words the rectangle is only acting as a mask of the orginal video.

For example> Original video/camera feed has width:320 and height:240. I then use the draw method with a rectangle element as a paramenter. The rectangle has coodinates of (x:20,y:20,width:50,height:50). So yeah that seemed to work fine. But actually it only creates a masked image of the original video. In other words 0 to 20 pixels at the top of the preview bitmap is white an the 0 to 20th pixel on the left side of the priview windows is also white......So I essentially just created a masked image. What I actually want the draw tool to do is to have the rectangle area be a cropping tool. The final bitmap would have a width and height of 50. I could then stretch out the bitmap and have it appeared to of zoomed the image.

What is up with the whitespace?
===============================
AS3 code reference
var myRectangle:Rectangle= new Rectangle(30,30,150,150)
// render the player as a bitmapdata
myBitmapSource.draw ( myVideo,null,null,null,myRectangle,false );
=======================================I am also starting to investigate the transform methods, maybe I need to transform the original feed somehow. I aslo saw a read only property named PixelBounds?

Any help would be appreciated:

[F8] My Dumb Question: Final Product Doesn't Match The Test
Pretty much a total noob here. I've built a basic e-card that runs a minute with photos and text fading in and out. I'll be sending an email with a text link to my flash creation. Because the IT department here won't let me embed my swf in a webpage (don't ask) I uploaded the swf to the server and am linking directly to it. When I click the URL for it, it opens fine in my browser. However, while the photos look fine when I test in Flash, they look pixillated in the browser. I'm thinking it's because the size of my browser window doesn't match my stage? but, I'm a noob, what do I know? Is there an easy solution to this? Help!

Need To Create A Product Catalog Website With 3d Views Of Product
I'm developing a website that is a product catalog for a jewely company.

I need to be able to create interactive 3D views of the products. For example, let's take a ring or bracelet.

The customer wants the end users to be able to view the ring or bracelet in 3d by taking the mouse and moving the ring or bracelet around.

How is this possible?

I would imagine that I would need to create it with 3D max or something and then import into flash.

Could it be done solely in flash?

Thanks.

System.Product();
Now comes System.product(); - The undocumented feature.
Put the following code into a Flash MX movie and generate the SWF.

var foo = new System.Product("bar");
foo.download();

you will get a message saying: "To install this service you must install Macromedia Flash Central. Would you like to install it now?". When I click "yes". It says "Couldn't write the application to the hard disk. Please verify the hard disk is available and try again".

Done? O.k. now the next step. If you are using Windows 2000. Check the Application Data Folder. C:Documents and SettingspavanApplication DataMacromediaFlash Playerwww.macromedia.cominar

Guess what happened??? Macromedia Flash is looking for bar.exe to launch!! i.e. if bar.exe was present in the folder it would launch it.

Now try the next example:

Create a directory under Application DataMacromediaFlash Playerwww.macromedia.comin
otepad i.e. name it as notepad and place notepad.exe in this folder. Notepad.exe is present in win32 folder. Now write the following code…

var x = new System.Product("notepad");
trace(x.IsInstalled());
trace(x.Launch());

Embed this swf in a browser and launch it… What happened?? It opened the notepad.exe…. Now isn’t that interesting?

The sample files are attached. I haven’t been able to take this any further. What does Macromedia want to do? Allow users to download exe’s from any site, download them and install them and run them? What is Flash Central? There are various questions unanswered! Any body making a breakthrough would be a welcome.

360 Product View
I know how to do just the basic and move around comfortably in FlashMX. And I think I'm ready for intermediate level. I always wonder how someone can produce a 360 degree view of a specific product for flash. For example, http://www.garmin.com/products/iQue3600/# then click on 360 product view. I like the click and drag of the graphics and rotate it left or right. Does anyone know if there is an example tutorial or an .fla file that I can get my hand on for some self taught? I'm not sure what word to search flaskit for to see if on the post someone may already asked this question.

Product Customizer
A potential client wants a Flash application that will allow users to see what her product looks like in different fabrics. This would be similar but not as extensive as the personal paint viewer on http://benjaminmoore.com . Price would need to be calculated and once they've decided what they want, they can add to cart and pass the info to a store shopping cart. I think I know how it can be done but I've never tried anything this complicated. How many hours would it take for average Flash designer to build it?

360 Product Views

http://syndicate.tentoe.com/Syndicat...oe=MKP1S5-3333

The 360 view would be single plane just like this example and I would be shooting/editing the product shots in studio (still photots). I need to know if anyone has a good solution for making the flash file efficient enough to use for several hundred products. Here is another good example I have found:
http://www.tgw.com/customer/category...?subcatid=5975

In the above example, TGW uses this on several products, just as I want to do. I am looking for and efficient and cost effective way to do this. If anyone has experience doing this I would appreciate feedback.

3D Product Rotation
Hi though I have been using Flash for awhile I would consider myself very much a newbie.

Anyway my question is how was this made:

I am assuming it is just a sequence of 3D renders imported into Flash, then controlled to rotate?

Is there an example of how this is done? I have no problem rendering but need to know how to code the movie in Flash.

Product Gallery
What I am trying to do is similar to http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/frames.htm but what I want Flash to do is:
When clicking a button in Flash. Flash will open a three framed htm document and also tell what will be placed in each of the three frames. Each button will need to use the same three framed htm document but place different info in each of the three frames. I am using MX if it matters

Basically what I am trying to is a product gallery. When you click on a small version of the product in the main flash site, I want it to open a new window. That new window will display in the top frame the title/ name of the product. The middle frame will be a larger image. The bottom frame will be an image of all the available colors and a description of the product. I hope that helps you understand what I am trying to accomplish.

Product Menu Help
Hi, I'm working on a flash productgallery that gets it's
productdata from a database.

It works like this:
- first choose a category, it'll open a scrollable productmenu.
- the productmenu get its data from the database, it shows
information like: name, country, img & price.

Up until here it works fine.
But were I'm struggling is the part when you choose a product
in the productmenu, it won't display the productdata(img, title, price, description etc.) of the database in the product_info mc.

If someone could take a look at the workfiles for me that'll be great!
(relevant code is to be found in the products layer > menu_general mc)

http://www.pikzel.nl/product_nav.zip

You can see an example here:

Is Flash The Right Product For Me?
I have a set of PowerPoint slides and quiz questions I need to publish both on the web and on CDROM. It will need to be able to handle some video clips, as well as send user names and quiz scores to a database on a server (database platform undetermined yet.)

I've never used Flash, or created any e-Learning applications (I'm a database developer by trade.) I do know html code, and I've used FrontPage.

I THINK I want to use Flash, but I'm having a hard time determining if it will meet my needs. For instance, it doesn't look like I can make use of my PowerPoint slides. Macromedia Breeze sounds easy, but it's WAY too expensive.

Can you offer me some advice?

3d Product Visualization
Hey Folks,

Listen, I need to build some 3d flash visualization movies where a user can rotate a 3D furniture product, change colors, etc. The most common method I see out there right now is to build a product rotation animation in a 3d modeling program (like 3d Studio Max) and then use something like a dragable slider bar in flash to play the movie clip forward and backward, thus creating the effect of a manipulatable 3d rotation. Make sense so far?

Now, one limit of this technique is that a user cannot "tilt" an object forward or backward - only left and right as they drag a slider bar in either direction. My question, therefore, is this:

Does anyone know a technique or Flash plugin that will let me have true , controlable 3D rotation (left, right, and tilt) with Flash?

Any and all comments are appreciated!
