How to upload a Webcam image to your server

date 19th January 2011 user Marvin Blase

I know what you’re thinking. Not again one of these Webcam server articles.. and you’re right! I thought the same and decided to quit any upcoming search for this topic and write a 100% working solution by myself.

Lately I was having some troubles with saving an image sent from Flash to my server. I found a lot about sending the BitmapData to a PHP file and then (god knows why..) directly navigate to this URL, so PHP displays the image in the browser as a JPG-Stream. I really took some time to think about any scenario when this could be useful but yea.. anyways, I needed to save my bitmaps on the server and each file has to have a unique filename. So each time I press “Save” in my Flash-Application an image is uploaded to my server.

The finer Art of Loading (#2): It’s all about timing

date 16th February 2010 user Marvin Blase

Hey everyone,
in the last chapter we made it to load a SWF and unload it on demand. Let’s continue here and imagine that we’re having three SWFs, each of them having some content which should be shown on click. A typical usage would obviously be a Flash Website consisting of multiple SWFs. Read more »

Actionscript 3 – multiload vs. procedural

date 12th January 2010 user Marvin Blase

Recently I’ve benchmarked the difference between a multi- and a procedural-loading. I’ve taken images with a size ranged between 500kb and 1mb. Here are the results…

files 10 50 100 250
multiload 619 ms 2821 ms 6253 ms 17189 ms
procedural 488 ms 2545 ms 6153 ms 16260 ms

…and here are the source files. The zip file is without any images!

Embedding Flash – XHTML valid and no Javascript!

date 17th December 2009 user Marvin Blase

Once again I got in trouble with embedding a flashmovie in html.
This snippet helps you to embed your flash in a crossbrowser-way.
And the clue is - it's javascript free:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. <object data="stage.swf" width="400" height="300" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:400px; height:300px;">
  2.      <param name="movie" value="stage.swf"/>
  3. </object>

JActionScripters’ latest wonder: SiON Synthesizer

date 8th October 2009 user Marvin Blase

Currently there are several brilliant guys working on different sound-modification libs/scripts in Actionscript 3. Lee Brimelow and André Michelle came up with some pretty cool examples some weeks ago and as I am working with Synths in my band I'm always pretty interested in the techniques my modulars (Kaoss Pad #3) are using. Anyway, I recently checked the JActionScripters-Blog and whether believed my eyes or my ears. These AS-Devils released their SiON synthesizer, which provides awesome synth-sounds and is even pretty usable. Here's just my tribute to them!

Go check it out and spread it to the world!

F*CSS – Finally parsing CSS the right way

date 22nd September 2009 user Marvin Blase

TheFlashBum: if you need text you need F*CSS.

Again just a quick post to mention Jesse Freeman's revolutionary CSS-Parsing library. This one allows you to easily access CSS styles from an external .css file in a handy, feeling right way. On the official page he provides a pretty easy-to-use example and of course the library itself. It takes you five minutes to read & understand and will save you probably hours of work in the future.

There you go: F*CSS's official page

Mr.Doob's open source class "Hi-ReS! Stats" allows you to easily get these information with only one single-lined code. An awesome class I just wanted to pay tribute to. :)
