Flash video Player Snapshot

Posted in PHP, actionscript 3, projects & snippets on September 14th, 2009 by admin – Comments Off

Hi I have recently working on saving different format images from flash. My previous work on this script was: Image Encode with Flash and PHP. Here you can create snapshots from video source.

Example

In this example you can save exported images also in your computer. I like this example more, because you can get different images, not boring same image again.

Screenshots:
snapshot file 1
snapshot file 2
snapshot file 3

Custom Flash Video Player

Posted in actionscript 3, projects & snippets on September 14th, 2009 by admin – Comments Off

I created easy to functionality to extend player. Here is the link:
video player

You pass total of 4 flash variables:

1
2
3
4
5
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.videoURL = "running man.mp4";
flashvars.autoPlay = 0;
flashvars.isImage = 1;
flashvars.imageURL = "RunningMan.jpg";

I’m using swfobject ot embed it in page. So lets say little more about variables:
videoURL is link to video location;
autoPlay is flag, if = 1, then video will start automatically playing. If = 0, then will stay stopped until play button is clicked;
isImage is flag, if = 1, them you have to pass image location to imageURL variable, to be loaded.If = 0, then no image is loaded;
isImage is image location;

Note: autoPlay and isImage cannot be 1 at the same time! Player will throw error. Also please use 0 or 1 for flags, not false or true.

Image Encode with Flash and PHP

Posted in PHP, actionscript 3 on September 10th, 2009 by admin – Comments Off

hi, this is a little project to save export/save images from flash.

This application allow you to see how to export in different image formats like: png, jpg and bmp.

I create class ImageCreator, whit it it’s this easy create images on server. You call the class like this:

1
2
var imagecreator:ImageCreator = new ImageCreator(image_spr, ImageCreator.EXPORT_TYPE_PNG, name);
imagecreator.addEventListener(ImageCreator.EVENT_COMPLETE_SAVING, completeWritingEvent);

Event ImageCreator.EVENT_COMPLETE_SAVING, will be dispatched when image is correctly saved on your server.
This is ImageCreator Class
