stream.play(videoURL);

I would like to point out that videoURL needs to be a string and not

var videoURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

Compiler schould at least warn me on this !!!!! Anyway why you desided that videoURL is a string and soundURL a URLRequest beats me ?

Is it possible to use smoothing on an FLV which is embedded on the timeline?

@PakodaRam:

The best way to pass in an argument to a SWF is using FlashVars. There's a good tutorial (written by one of the former documentation writers) here:

The code assumed the name of the flv is video.flv. Is there a way to pass arguments to the AS file so that I don't have to hardcode the name of the flv? I want to pass the name of the flv file as part of the URI.

Thanks

novio_flash,

Either delete the object, or set its value to null. See the docs for the delete operator:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/operators.html#delete

and this section in the Programming AS3 book -> Working with Arrays uner "Object keys and memory management" has some good info:

Question: what's the best way to clean up NetConnection, NetStream and Video instances? (To make sure the garbage collector takes care of them)

I am trying build a camera capture application. For example> I am trying to capture a student picture and send it to the web server. Before I send the single picture of the student to the web server, I want the user to be able to manipulate the picture by changing the contrast, zoom and also add the ability to make the picture brighter or darker. Once complete, I want to capture the bitmap and movie clip and send it to the web server for storage.

How can i make this happen. I started to make this work using AS2 and Flash8 but noticed the zoom feature in AS3 movieclips.

Please help. The problem I am experiencing the most is capturing a single frame from the camera/video feed. Yes I can get the camera working (no-brainer), I can get the picture into a bitmap using
snapshot = new BitmapData(myVideo_mc.width,myVideo_mc.height);
etc...
But now with AS3.........bitmap data is not compatible with the movieclip datatype....Is their another technique around this. Becuase I would really like to use the zoom function which is native to the movieclip...
As for getting it back to the server...I plan to send the bitmap back to a webservice or another page on the webserver to save it as a jpg.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure to how to use the code above. I'm getting errors that lead me to think I'm missing an import to something.

(my_FLVPlybk.getVideoPlayer(my_FLVPlybk.activeVideoPlayerIndex)).smoothing = true;

my_FLVPlybk is the instance of my FLVPlayer.

Much thanks,

Alex

Please use the following syntax:

FLVPlayer.getVideoPlayer(FLVPlayer.activeVideoPlayerIndex)).smoothing = true;

The VideoPlayer extends Video directly in AS3. In AS2, it extended MovieClip and wrapped a Video instance.

This used to be possible in AS2:
MovieClip(FLVPlayer.getVideoPlayer(FLVPlayer.activeVideoPlayerIndex))._video.smoothing = true;

Is there an AS3 equivalent of this? I need to use the FLVPlayback component and would still like to smooth the video. Any suggestions? Thanks!
