I am trying to get a flash project to refresh an image off a web cam server. I basically attempt to retrieve an image every 10 seconds and display it in a movie.

Is there a way to add java code to get the picture to refresh, because right now the refresh is only retrieving the image from the temporary internet files.

Thanks for any help.

i ve uploaded a source to the movie section

so in a vew days it might be online!

This is a Flash mx (flash 6) based webcam viewing movie!
It is like many javaapps - so you can put your webcam stream on your website (it isn’t to let visitor view their own webcam nor for conference, just like a live video).
You may need a ftp connection and a picture steamig program like coolcam or sitecam (MAC). Name the pushed picture webcam.jpg and recompile the fla to the imagesize you like - thats all!


i hope it is that, you searching for!
ps. no java needed (i hate java)

since flashkit seems not to update their movies-section (last uodate 21. apr!),
here is the link to actionscripts.org where i u/l'ed it,too.

but they are much faster ;-)

means you want to show your cam on your site ? live ?

[symbionts]

maybe ;-)

but not atm, i've got only a s...king 56k dialup at home :-(

you may show us yours ;-P

[aashu.com]

wait for 2-3 months ... you can do it on dialup too ... and also can take snaps of your users ...

just wait and watch :-|

[symbionts]

yep!

i know... as seen @ shockteam in his ecard beta ;-P

but i can't use a serversoft ;-( since i've no own private server and only ftp and ssh access (a virtual one like most others). in biz i've some but useing mx for common users atm... you know!)

so, a thing like coldfusion mx isn't realy useable 4 me, i'll need something like perl, php or tomcat

may the time go by fast and then, maybe

C'U ;-)

u'll know what i mean

all the best from germany

i've got to check the friday-nightlive now

hey Noja,

was the source that u've been searching 4?

[cosmiceye]

I downloaded the source, configured it, but the images wont update unless i refresh. What is wrong?

[tryniski]

I downloaded the FLA and have a problem with the Code Which I Have Attached Below, The ? After jpg. Is Being Taken as a literal and not a conditional as I suspect it should be. I Get This Error

Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Tom%20Tryniski/Desktop/webcam.jpg? The Name Of the FIle Im trying to open is webcam.jpg Not webcam.jpg?

Any Help Would Be appreciated


loadMovie("webcam.jpg?"+cachebust, this["stream"+i]);

[cosmiceye]

erase the ? and have the webcam save its webcam.jpg in the same folder as your .swf.

by the way, I really would like to figure out how to get the camera streaming directly with one of these guys:

camera.get
NetStream.prototype.attachAudio
NetStream.prototype.attachVideo
NetStream.prototype.send
NetStream.prototype.publish
NetStream.prototype.play
NetStream.prototype.receiveAudio
NetStream.prototype.receiveVideo

[tryniski]

I Have tryed that but after about 5 or 6 Updates I get this error
Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Tom%20Tryniski/Desktop/webcam.jpg"

Then it Will Not Update till i Restart Webcam.swf I Think That It is trying to do a read of webcam.jpg While The webcam32 Software is updating the image and it crashes webcam.swf

[symbionts]

hi folks!

try it on an server!
i'd tested it on a mac as serverpush unix (ftp) and stationary save on hd -> everything worked fine
the '?' is to prevent a load by proxy!

only the millisec add seems not to work (to prevent cache loading!)

webcam32??? running in demomode?

cheers

[symbionts]

if you have your very own server then this seems to be very interesting!

it is a real sneak glance at the future (in about some month)


http://ecards.shockteam.com/video/

u'll then need some special serverside software
like coldfusion mx or similar (from mm?)

cheers

i would be delighted over the moon if you know how this is realy done and post here the source (fla) and a list of the needed serversoft!
thx

[tryniski]

Webcam32 is set to Save local to my hard disk every 1 second but really its more like every 2 sec, I am Running A webserver, Flash for some reason thinks the ? after "webcam.jpg?" is the file name not webcam.jpg what i'm save the image as. if i take out the ? after the webcam.jpg it will update for about 5 time Then i get error as mention in previous post then have to restart webcam.swf then same thing happens. What i need to do is stop the caching problem in my browser im running ie 6.0 windowxp


http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Dy...32/more9.shtml

This tutorial found on this site worked even though i got some erros whitch I Think Has has to do with webcam32 updating image and flash tryting to do a read at the same time but it did not stop image update but when i put this on my server had caching problem from browser That would use cach image not reloaded image from my server

[tryniski]

<META http-equiv="Pragma." CONTENT="no-cache" I also tried adding this to my html page but no luck

[tryniski]

I also tried to add this to html page but that did not help


"META http-equiv="Pragma." CONTENT="no-cache"

[tryniski]

Followup if i use the fla
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Dy...32/index.shtml
and change in Internet exployer tools, internet options, under setting, and change from automatic to check every visit to page this will work ok, but that just point to a caching issue that most visitors probley use the default automatic setting in exployer. so how do i stop caching , any suggestion will be appreciated
