A sort of camera thingy in flash?
well i'm at school at the moment and i have to make a flash video with the help of a flash that the teacher gave me. i was making my flash and i want to put in a sort of camera thingy that zooms and moves and stuff. I've made a screenshot of it cause i don't know how to put it in my flash, copy/paste doesn't work, from the library doesn't work either so here is the screenie http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/3056/camerathingy.jpg
hope somebody can help and thanks in advanced,
Nightmaker.
It sounds like you want to be able to animate a camera object and have what's visible through the camera show up in the published swf. I think you want to install a Flash extension called "2d Virtual camera"
It can be found here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1180535#
Download the 2DVirtualCamera.mxp file and open your adobe extension manager, then browse to the .mxp file and install it.
Good luck!

Is it possible in Aperture 3 to sort by camera serial number..?
Ok so I've bought a second 5Dmk2 for my Wedding photography, now the time sync is out by 1 hour on each camera, summer time and none summer time..
I know how to change this in the meta data, but my problem has a bit more to it, the file numbers also over lap, i.e i have two versions of img_8990 from both cameras, and meany of these...
So all the pic's are out of order, and the numbers are quite jumbled up too
What I would like to do, is sort by camera serial number, change the time on one set of images, then arrange by time, the rename the files...
So the question is, can/how do you arrange by camera serial number..?Hello,
So the question is, can/how do you arrange by camera serial number..?
You cannot sort by serial number, but you can separate your images by serial number:
I suggest to create a smart album for each camera:
File -> New -> Smart Album
Then add a rule: Serial number contains
Do this for each of your cameras, and then use "Metadata -> Batch Change -> Adjust Time Zone" for each of the separate smart albums for each of your cameras.
Good Luck

WCV200 Camera using Adobe Flash Encoder
Hi all,
I have searched the forum for this topic and come up with no treads.
Is it possible to use the WCV200 camera with Adobe Flash Encoder? I am hopeing to use this to feed the stream into the Flash Server so I can put it onto a website.
Thanks,
AndyI believe this can’t be done. You can only use the camera using the web utility or the camera utility software to view the video of the camera especially via live feed.

Empty camera names in Flash Player with Google Chrome
So, it seems we got another problem with devices (cameras and microphones) in Flash Player integrated with Google Chrome (PPAPI). Many Flash developers can remember clickjacking problem and ugly fix for this issue implemented in Google Chrome. For now, if you have some application that uses camera or microphone, Google Chrome users must allow access to their devices twice: for Flash Player (small window centered in Flash-object) and for Google Chrome (gray panel with buttons under address bar).
Until recently the whole process of granting camera access looked like this:
Application want to attach camera to Video object or NetStream.
Even without permission you can get camera names and populate some UI components with them.
Flash Player show security panel with "Allow" and "Deny" buttons.
Google Chrome show it's own security panel, so both security panels are visible at the same time.
Users press "Allow" button in Flash Player security panel.
Now you have false for camera.muted property, but camera show zero FPS, because access is still denied in browser.
Users press "Allow" button in browser security panel.
Win! You have access granted everywhere.
Of course, that second security panel of Google Chrome is a real pain. Users just don't notice it. Flash developers handled this issue with hints inside application and FAQ pages. But now we have another big problem.
Recently the process of granting camera access changed to this:
Application want to attach camera to Video object or NetStream.
You can't get camera names until access granted in browser. There will be just spaces (" ", symbol with code 32) in camera.name property.
Flash Player show security panel with "Allow" and "Deny" buttons.
Google Chrome will not show it's security panel until access granted in Flash Player.
Users press "Allow" button in Flash Player security panel.
Now you have false for camera.muted property, but camera show zero FPS and have no name, because access is still denied in browser.
Google Chrome show it's own security panel.
Users press "Allow" button in browser security panel (this panel shown twice for some reason).
Now you have access granted everywhere, but devices still have just spaces instead of real names.
Unfortunately, AS3 will not update camera names after access granted in browser. Camera names are empty event in Flash Player settings window before browser access granting. So it's impossible now to get camera names in Flash application running in Google Chrome without reloading. User need to grant access in browser first, than reload application and only after that we can get camera names in AS3. I have tried to use flash.media.scanHardware() to refresh camera names, but it seems it's not working.
Also I have created a small example and posted it online. You can test it by yourself in Google Chrome. Just don't forget to clear your choice each time. You need to remove "http://wonderfl.net:80" entry from list on chrome://settings/contentExceptions#media-stream to clear your prevoius choice.
Also I got similar complaints from Opera users.

So, I wonder if it's a bug or some kind of new security feature implemented by Google Chrome team? Maybe someone already faced this problem and can share more info about it.
For now it looks like modern browsers killing Flash with all that features and ugly solutions.
PS: You can find some silly mistakes in my message. Sorry for my English.
Updated code to check microphones also.After couple of tests I have found strange behavior of PPAPI Flash.
The test was made with two SWFs working simultaneously on the same page. The first one was asking for device access like some regular application (by calling video.attachCamera). The second SWF was created/removed in cycle by JavaScript to avoid this thing:
Scanning the hardware for cameras takes time. When the runtime finds at least one camera, the hardware is not scanned again for the lifetime of the player instance.
I have made both SWFs to get all devices names and post them to screen. So I was able to see all changes regarding devices in first SWF (before and after permission granted) and in refreshable second SWF (each second). Also I have used scanHardware in both SWfs.
I have found that second (refreshable) SWF got correct list of devices, but first one got only microphones. Camera names was empty.
So it looks like we have another bug of PPAPI Flash here. I don't have another explanation for this. I mean, why do they need to update only microphones, but not cameras? -
Problem with "stop playing causing camera light to flash
Since ipgrading to ios 5.1 I se that Apple took away the Sleep ipod opton for the timer and relaced it with "stop playing". Unfortunately, wen the timer reaches zero, the phone stops playing but the camera flas starts flashing until I unlock the phone. Besides being annoying, this obviously defeats the purpose of resting the phone and saving battery life. Any suggestions? Note: I do have a flaslight app on the phone in case that makes a difference.
Thanks again
I have removed the keyframes in frame 2 and 6 on all the layers (please seen new pic below), however the problem still persists.
Here is my code on my actions layer:
stop();
toolbar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag);
function fl_ClickToDrag(event:MouseEvent):void
toolbar.startDrag();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fl_ReleaseToDrop);
function fl_ReleaseToDrop(event:MouseEvent):void
toolbar.stopDrag();
about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_4);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_4(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(2);
latestnews.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_6);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_6(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(3);
services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_7);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_7(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(4);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_8);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_8(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(5);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_9);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_9(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(6);
As you can see the code looks pretty correct to me. Ignore the code at the top, that is just for a draggable graphic on the page.
Any clues from the code?? -

I've got this 935 Slim that's not even listed on the site here, so I can't get info.
The flash doesn't often work, even when it is set to do so. What's up? Anyone know?
brentonBrenton,
Can you elaborate? On what instances in which the flash cannot work?
1) Is the flash forced to be ON? or is it at "auto flash" mode?
My understanding from this camera, is that there's only 2 modes for flash - either auto flash or flash disabled.
As with all cameras, if the flash is set to auto flash, the flash will only be fired if the lighting is insufficient.
The flash will not be fired if there is sufficient lighting.
To check if your flash is functioning, just take a shot in a dark room. -
Has anybody written a programme to sort all camera roll photos by date taken? I am not interested in albums or events, just the overall camera roll. All the so-called sort programmes don't do it as far as I can see.
The problem is the Photos app. It is up to the application that displays the camera roll on how to sort it. Any application can present the camera roll pictures in any way it wants to. The Photos app doesn't have any sorting options.

I've been scouring the internet and searching user forums for
tutorials and tips on how to produce camera movements. Most of the
3d programs I've used (as well as Mojo) have had internal
easy-to-use cameras. Please tell me that I don't have to learn
action script to be able to do things like simple slow zooming or a
quick cut to a close up on a character's face. (In case you can't
tell, I primarily use flash for character animation.)the analog way is to simply place entire "scenes" in a symbol
- then scale/motion tween/pan the
symbol around the stage (make sure the scene extends well
beyond the stage area).

Hello,
My camera has NO FLASH! Can't seem to figure out how to turn it on! Please help.My wife just upgraded from the 8330 to the 8530, and I must say I am not very impressed. Not only did we have problems transferring her data over (something caused it to go into constant reboots - had to wipe it and reinstall the OS), but she just discovered that there is no flash! Not something that you would not even think to ask about in this day and age on a camera phone! I understand the argument that the cameras don't take good pictures anyway so why would it matter....but if that's your attitude then buy a model without a camera. For the ones that come with a camera, obviously we are not professional photographers using it for work. It's simply convenient to have on you (which our digital camera is usually not) to snap a quick picture (of the kids or whatever). For it not to have a flash is just completey pointless and stupid! Especially when the model that this is updating (the 8330) did have one! She's going to be taking it back. I just hope she cools down first and drops this notion of switching to the iphone!

Accidnetly dropped my mac and the corner sort of came off the hinge, pic
Hey, alright so last night i was sitting on my bed and a spider fell on me and of course i jumped to find the spider, my laptop slid off of my lap and fell onto my floor. It still works but the right corner sort of came off of the hinge a little bit. Whenever i open it it sort of rubs against the keyboard part of the laptop causing it to be harder to open, not impossible i can open it but i can feel the tension. So i was wondering if this was self fixable, i should just deal with it or take it in. How much would you estimate it costing? Here is the picture= [IMG]http://i52.tinypic.com/20h7qqv.png[/IMG]
Your iPhone has been damaged and will need to be taken or sent to Apple for service. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, you will pay only the "deductible"; check the terms for your plan. In most cases it's US $79. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, Apple now will replace screens on the iPhone 5, at least in the US, for US $149. Availabllity of repair services may vary by country and by Apple Store, so call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store and ask for information. If Apple will not offer screen replacement service at an Apple Store in your area or they determine that there is additional damage, they will replace the entire iPhone. See:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/
There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do the repair for less than Apple's out-of-warranty charge. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty and support from Apple will be voided.

Windows 8, problems to show cameras in a flash application
I have a flash application that shows at screen the cameras that the operating system detects, and works fine on windows 7 but now, in windows 8, i have troubles with several cameras. For example firewire cámeras or screen capture driver.
I made a simple test application:
http://mainstream.atnova.com/test/testCamaras.html
The same code executed like an air application seems to work, and the same webpage, running in windows 7, shows all the cameras right.
Is there any bug on flash player for windows 8?
