Simple webcam help

New to FMS all I want is a swf that will broadcast my webcam.
Do I need 2 flas, one to broadcast and one to receive? Can it be 1
stream that is just viewed by all that open it? I also would rather
not have to login, or set bandwidth, or even have a connection
light if that is possible, just the video. Thanks

You can use one fla to receive and send as many streams as
your bandwidth can tolerate.
However you may want a separate fla for visitors and one fla
for the presenter.
You do not need to have a login. I believe checking bandwidth
for FMS is optional.
Many FMS hosting companies provide what you need with out of
the box swfs.

Synchronous video capturing with a simple webcam with DIAdem-DAC/Visual

Hello,
because of DIAdem is not able to synchronise captured video files and MDF-data files measured with
Vector Canape with all the skills of and in DIAdem-VIEW,
how about even capturing a video additional to the other measured data with DIAdem-DAC ??
Vector Canape can this do with a simple webcam ( a better model from Logitech suffice ) and it really works fine,
but DIAdem is much better for the rest of all measuring tasks and so our favourite.
And yes : DIAdem can data acquisition and we like it !!!

Hallo,
diese Funktion vermisse ich seit Jahren bei Diadem. Die Hardware (Web-cam) gibts längst an jeder Ecke nur Diadem hinkt (u.a. Vector) hinterher, das kanns ja wohl nicht sein ....

Simple Webcam Capture to JPG

I cannot figure this out.
All I want to do is write a simple program that will take a still capture from my webcam and save it as a JPG. I don't need any kind of GUI or drawing to the screen. I will be using it in a batch script to take a picture and upload to my website at a fixed interval.
I have been messing around with it for a long time and have had no success. Here is some code I wrote just now that won't work. I have imported things while trying different pieces of code, but I never took any of them out. That's why I import so many things.
As you can see, I throw the NoPlayerException and CannotRealizeException. I do not understand why I get these. Also, when I run the program the light on my webcam turns on so I know it's connecting at some level. The file saved test.jpg is not a capture but rather a black square. Is my error in getting the image from the webcam or in writing it onto the BufferedImage so I can the write it to the file?
Any help would be appreciated.

Simple button help needed!

I want to make a simple round button that glows when you
mouse over it and depresses when you click it.
Apparently to do this I need to use Filters to make the glow
and bevels. But Filtersonly work on movie clips, buttons and text.
So I make a circle and convert it into a button symbol
(Btn1). Then I make another button symbol (Btn2) and use the first
button symbol (Btn 1) on the Up Over and Down frames of Btn 2.
Assorted Filters are applied to Btn 1 on the Up Over and Down
frames to get the effects I want.
I test the button (Btn2) using Enable Simple Buttons. It
works perfectly - glows on mouse over and depresses on click. Then
I try Test Movie -- and the button doesn't work!!!
Not does it work when exported as a SWF file!!!
I watched a tutorial video that came with my Flash Pro 8
Hands-On-Training (HOT) book and he used pretty much the same
technique -- except he only tested his button with Enable Simple
Buttons. I'll bet my house his didn't work with Test Movie either!
The stupid thing, is I was just able to achieve exactly what
I wanted very quickly using LiveMotion 2!
What is wrong here? Why is it so impossible to create a glow
button in Flash? Why has it been easy in Live Motion for years?
All help appreciated!
Thanks
craig

I thought the nesting button situation might be the problem
BUT there is no other way to apply Filters to Up, Down, etc. Also,
a freaking tutorial book described that as a valid method, but
obviously it ain't.
I tried using movieclips as well but basically had the same
problem.
I mentioned LiveMotion 2 because that ancient program can do
easily what Flash Pro 8 seems incapable of.
What is the logic behind not allowing Filters to be applied
to simple graphics? It's absurd!
There's got to be a way...

Simple Button Help

Hi
I am new to flash and having a bit of trouble. All I would
like to do is be able to create a button and have that button
navigate to a frame.
What I am doing now is:
Insert - New Symbol - Button and name the button (ex: about)
Go through the up/over/down/hit steps and return to scene 1
I then drag the about button onto the stage
I give the about button the instance name of about_btn
In the action layer, I enter the following code:
stop();
_root.about_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("about");
"about" being the keyframe I would like to go to
When I test the button, I get error 1120: "Access of
undefined property onrelease".
I am working on adobe flash cs3 on a pc. I know this is a
very simple issue and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

what have you done so far? what don't you know how to do?
where are you stuck at? need way more detail to help any
further.

Both side chatting with simple GUI ,,helps pls?

guys I'm Java application programmer i don't have well knowledge in network programing ,,my question ,,,from where should i start to design a simple GUI client*s* server chat program ,i mean some thing like simple yahoo messenger the program should include also adding contact and make that contact appears ON if he login or OFF if he sign out like red color for ON-line contact and and white color for off-line contact ...........

Dude , u r right ,,,but still its simple GUI issueI'm not sure why you are getting this impression. It's not a simple "GUI issue." Yes, you can simply create the GUI for this, but will it be functional? No. Furthermore, if it was so simple, why are you posting asking for help?
For an instant message chat program, in addition to GUI programming, you need to know how client / server systems work and you need to implement one. A server should be running on one system and the client(s) will connect to it. The server usually maintains the buddy list and passes the messages to/from different clients. This presents several problems that you will need to solve:
1. How will you develop a protocol between the client / server for communication?
2. How will you authenticate users?
3. How will you maintain the buddy list on the server (data structure, database, file)?
4. How will you pass messages from one client to another (simple string message, serialized data object, etc.)?
5. etc.
Now, I'm not saying this is "impossible" so please don't take it that way. I'm simply trying to help you realize that there are a lot of factors to consider when developing this type of application.

Simple viewer help

Hi all, I need your help. I have created my website, and I'm linking it to mobile me galleries. (no problem). But-- instead of mobile me galleries I would like to link to Simple Viewer.
No problem creating the SV galleries in iphoto , but getting them on my site is baffeling.
I have read all the posts, and have had no success. I am a novice and the nominclature is rough
As I said , I created the gallery folder and placed it in the sites folder on my idisk. when I click on the index folder within the gallery appears and the address is file:///Volumes/rgardnerimages/Web/Sites/slideshoe/index.html nothing I do is linking it to a web page. Any help in simple language would be helpful.
My website is http://www.richardgardnerphotography.com/RichardGardner/richard_gardnerhome.html
Thanks in advance
Richard

Its so long since I did this that I to look back and see where my files were uploaded and how they are organized.
Its seems I have the following files uploaded to the main folder on my server:
flash_detect.js
image data.xml
images
PostCard.html
thumbs
viewer.swf
PostCard.html is the index.html file renamed so that it doesn't conflict with the index.html file generated by iWeb.
If you are using MobileMe to publish you can upload these files to the Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites folder and the URL will be..
http://web.me.com/username/PostCard.html
Its probably better to upload them to your website folder. The path is Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/WebsiteName folder and the URL for the link to it will be ....
http://web.me.com/username/WebsiteName/PostCard.html
These uploads are done by drag and drop. Follow the path from the Finder/Go menu or do Shift - Command - I from any Finder window and then double click the Web then the Sites folders to get to your actual website folder.

Video stream recording (not webcam) help required

I am making a media player / recorder type web application in flex 4.
The application plays video streams streamed from my red5 server.
I want to give users the ability to make / record clips of the video they are viewing.
I know that netstream.publish is used to record/save video on the server.
All the help i've found on google so far just give examples to save video from webcam.
But i want to save video from a video being streamed from red5 server and being played
on VideoPlayer control in flex.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Simple Java help

OK, I'm new to Java programming and have a project due in class next week. I'm writing a simple gradebook program that takes a grade for a term paper and a pass/fail for two essays and computes the result. I know that the visual portion of this works so I won't bore you all with that. I think the problem is somewhere in the syntax of my actionPerformed function. Here it is
String essayResult1 = essayBox1.getSelectedItem();
String essayResult2 = essayBox2.getSelectedItem();
int essayPoints1, essayPoints2, termPoints;
if(essayResult1.equals("Pass")) essayPoints1=15;
if(essayResult2.equals("Pass")) essayPoints2=15;
Character letterGrade = termField.getText();
if(letterGrade.equals("A")) termPoints=70;
else if(letterGrade.equals("B")) termPoints=60;
else if(letterGrade.equals("C")) termPoints=50;
else if(letterGrade.equals("D")) termPoints=40;
else if(letterGrade.equals("F")) termPoints=0;
else {
outputField.setText("Error");
return;}
String finalScore=new String("" + (essayPoints1+essayPoints2+termPoints));
outputField.setText("Done");
I would appreciate any help you experienced programers have. Even a hint as to which lines I'm mangling would be of great help.

If you could put [code] and [/code] tags around your code it would be much more readable.
So what is wrong? Do you get a compiler error? Does it give you incorrect results? Do you receive a run-time error?

Urgent webcam help needed please

i didnt know where else to put this post. Anyway i just got a logitech fusion webcam which they sell on the apple store. i plugged it in and set it up. whenever i speak to anyone on skype(its the only one i use). they always say that around every 20 seconds they get a noise their end that sounds like wind noise. ive opened up the sound box in preferences and can see it happening form the noise indicator. but dont know what it is or how to stop it.. any ideas i really need help.. thanks in advance. the webcam by the way has a built in mic and i have the output coming through my speakers. ive also moved the speakers away from the webcam in case of interference but no joy.. please help..

Hi-
Checking the Skype forums reveals a concensus that the problem is most likely within the Skype software.
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=6b9ae6327268168f5c1291d17df06400&showforum=15
Some suggest disabling the mic, and using a seperate mic. This is because some believe the hardware combo (camera/mic) over USB is the problem. Others suggest using the macam driver. Others still, claim there was no noise before 2.5. There are even problems with the Windows version, apparently.
A new Skype for Mac beta was released today- 2.7. You can download it from the following link:
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?act=announce&f=15&id=38
Would be adviseable to report the current bug to Skype. Include all system details, software and OS versions. The more people that report the problem, the sooner a fix will come about.

Simple Recursion help!

i know this is trivial code, that is simple yet i cant get it
i have the following method
public static void let(char x){
if (x == 'a')
return;
x = (char) ((int) let('a' + 1));
System.out.print(x + " ");
here is the error i get
"let(char) in lab7 cannot be applied to (int)
any help will be appreciatied and i will award duke dollars to it
thank you

One more thing: the call let('a'+1);
You are adding a char (16-bit) to an int (32-bit), so the result will be int. That's why the error message says "let(char) cannot be applied to (int)".
To avoid it, do a cast: let((char)('a'+1));

Simple animation help

Hi all wonder if someone can help. I'm creating a simple board game and i want to slide a character (a image) from one position to another position. So for example if i had a 10x10 grid, i may want to slide from square 2 to square 4 or slide diagonally say from square 8 to square 26. What would be the best way to do this? I've been able to move the character once it reaches a certain square by setting the co-ordinates of the new square to move to, but this instantaneously moves from the square reached to the target square, what i want is a sliding effect, so you visually see the character sliding. Any ideas? Any source would be helpful as well, as there doesn't seem to be much about on this topic on the web!

Search the forum. "Animation" would be a good keyword to use. The suggestions will involve using a Swing Timer so you just calculate each interval location from A to B to set the position of the object as it moves.

Starting game, debugging simple things: help =]

Hi, this is my first post here and I've been playing around with Java for a little less than a year now. I'm trying to create a simple 2d game and need some help in the basics, such as the listeners and double-buffering.
So far I've tried implementing keylistener and using another method but neither are working. When I type space, c = 32 for the scope of keyTyped(), but in the switch of the thread "game," c = 0. So I can't transition form the intro/splash screen into the game.
Also when I skip to case 0, the double-buffering is horrible, it doesn't seem like there is any. On my computer the fillOval() and drawString() keep flickering.
Thanks for the help.

You problem with keyTyped is scope problem.
Because you declare char c inside keyTyped, it masks the declaration of char c that has class instance scope.
All you need to do in keyTyped() is remove the char in front of the declaration to unmask the instance variable.
     public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
// should be          char c = e.getKeyChar();
          c = e.getKeyChar(); // this line uses c declared above
          showStatus(String.valueOf((int)c));
          //if(c == ' ')
          //     showStatus("typed space2");

Simple transitions help for an FCP newbee

Am moving from iMovie6 to Final Cut Pro 5 as I didn't like iMovie8 and there's been a lot of talk on the iMovie board about how FCP will probably work better for people like me...
I'm a real newbee to FCP so I'm going to embarrass myself here and ask a really simple question that I can't for the life of me get an answer to.
How do you add a simple fade up to the start of a clip? It would seem that the Fade in-Fade out Dissolves in Effects is designed to join two different clips. I have a clip that cuts to black and the next clip I want to start on a fade up from black.
How do I do this?
Also, how do I do a really simple fade to black???
Forgive me for asking such a dumb question but I just can't find the answer in the Help file (guess the question is way too simple!).
Thanks!

I just tried ramping the clips opacity and I got my fade in just fine, but in order to get the clip fading in from black, I had to go back to the rushes, reselect the clip I wanted and then when the cursor was at the start of the clip, open the opacity and adjust it to go from 0 to 100 in 12 frames. Then I added this clip to my timeline via overwrite, thereby overwriting the same (old) clip that didn't have the fade in. However, I'm not quite ready to mark this question as answered as how do I now add a fade in on a clip that is already in my timeline? Do I have to make the transition decision before I add the clip to the time line or is there some clever way of adjusting the opacity of the clip once it is in the time line and therefore in the edit?
Thanks!
