We bought your software one week ago. It works with PNG, but if we try to change to JPG it gives an error on line 49 compiling: its the part where it says now PNGEncoder.encode If we try to change that to JPGEncoder.encode etc....it gives an error.
If i use the PNG encoder to make JPG files, it does work, but the JPG files are tooo big 60 kb for such a small picture.
Help
2009 Mar 04Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To marcel: I need to take a look at the file that you have. Can you send me your file?
2009 Mar 04Question & Comment: marcel

2009 Mar 04Question & Comment: marcel
also your original file the, fla file i downloaded after paying has the same error on the same line, so i maybe you dont even need the file, cuz you have it:-)I change this: byte_array=PNGEncoder.encode(bitmap_data); to: byte_array=JPGEncoder.encode(bitmap_data); and then it says undefined methode static class

Hey, I just wanted to drop you a line to say what a fantastic app this is... WELL worth the $15. I'm excited to start using it - so far testing the app has been a breeze, and it's incredibly customizable.
Thanks, thanks, THANKS!

Hello, is it set to show up only the first taken phto on the leftside?
2009 Apr 10Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To Basstig: Yes it is. How would you like it?
2009 Apr 10Question & Comment: Basstig
I would like it to show up the new taken photo each time the camera icon clicked, instead of shown the same first taken photo all the time.
2009 May 06Question & Comment: r0mg
To reduce saved images size, just use JPG instead of PNG. JPGEncoder cannot be used as a static class like PNGEncoder.
You can use like that:
var encoding:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(80);
var byte_array=encoding.encode(bitmap_data);
80 is the level of compression. You can put a number from 1-100
Now, I save 12k images instead of 80k... ;)
2009 May 06Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To r0mg: Thanks. This question was the most asked question. I couldn't have time to answer these. I appreciated
2009 Jun 04Question & Comment: voodha
Great app. man! Now I'm testing it for something less complicated other than using a server to display images. I just want to have a new picture every time I click the camera icon, but I don't want to store any pic; just have the immediate result and keep it only to the end of my movie movie. Any help?
2009 Jun 13Question & Comment: jellson1998
I downloaded, however I am not a flash developer. I am using it with a java web app I am creating. What would be the embed tag to save image to a specific directory? I would look at code but only have Flash 8. <object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="takemypicture.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>
displays the cam.. :-)

Hi.
This is pretty much the application what I am looking for, for my employer's project.
Can you please give a brief info about the capabilites of the app, most importantly if it supports Mac and OSX? (and Win, Linux, etc., or it only can use Win ActiveX controls?)
2009 Jun 16Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To bananajoe: This is a web based app. So this is crosplatform. If you want a standalone app you should embed the application into your App
2009 Jun 16Question & Comment: jellson1998
I downloaded and am trying to make work, I only have flash 8 so I can't edit. Looks like it will do what I need it to do just can't figure it out.. Have the php out there and all. Check out www.arrayconsulting.com/webcam and see if you can see what I am doing wrong.
2009 Jun 17Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To jellson1998: You have permission problem. PHP cannot write to the folder
2009 Jun 21Question & Comment: williamboscardini
Hello there!
Congratulations for the great tool! I wanna buy this for sure asap!
I just need to know two things: Is it possible to take more than one pic per time? Can we set random server directory to save the screen, according to a session id, for example?
Thanks a lot!!
2009 Jun 21Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To williamboscardini: You have to configure it in php. Before that you can randomly take pictures via flash. I will consider adding this in second version.
Thank you for your feedback
2009 Jun 22Question & Comment: bananajoe
I just tested it on two different MacBooks, and unfortunatelly it doesn't seem work. :-(
Max OSX 10.4 / 10.5, Safari 4.0
2009 Jun 23Question & Comment: bananajoe
Right clicking on the Flash app, then going into the settings and changing the video source to a different one (like a USB one, even on MacBooks) might solve the problem.
2009 Jun 23Question & Comment: bananajoe
If it doesn't work, then you need to edit the settings of the Flash application (grant right to access your webcam and select the proper video source).
Right click on the Flash app and choose Settings.
Choose the Privacy tab, where you may need to Allow the Flash app to access your webcam.
If this doesn't solve the problem then reload the page.
If it still doesn't work, then click on the webcam tab and choose a different source. Possibly there will be a USB device, (on MacBook it is "USB Video Class Video", try that first). Try them, one of those should work.
I can confirm that it works on MacBook.

2009 Jul 09Question & Comment: humbucker
Hello
Can you please tell me if the code is located on a separate classe file or is included in the FLA.
I need a working script with separate class.
Thank you for your answer.
2009 Jul 09Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To humbucker: It is in FLA. However you can easily put it in your class file. It is a 10 line script
2009 Jul 09Question & Comment: humbucker
Thanks, I've already done that in a separate class (the document class) and it saves me a white image on the server. Any idea why ?
Also is it coded in AS3 ?
2009 Jul 09Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To humbucker: It is coded in AS3. The white image can be just because you are saving wrong movieclip
2009 Jul 10Question & Comment: humbucker
Well I dont know, would you be ok to look up at my code, how can I send it to you?
No prob if you ask me a little fee for the fix.
Thanks

2009 Jul 17Question & Comment: cookie053177
Hi! I would like to ask are there any possibility to change the times of taking the picture instead of 1 into many times? then it will store the picture to the server, ie: click once and it will automatically take a shot of 3 then send it all the same time to the server. OR! maybe click thrice after that it will send to the server.
2009 Jul 17Question & Comment: cookie053177
sorry, do you mind if I ask, whenever you click the button it will produce an image, but when you click it for the second time will it replace the old image? thanks!
2009 Jul 28Question & Comment: arjuna87
Great script..just what I was looking for..
Works great in Firefox but not in IE (surprise, surprise). The first picture shows fine, but any further pictures do not show. The futher pictures do save however. Any way to fix this?
2009 Jul 28Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To arjuna87: Can you give me a direct link to your web site so I can test it in IE?
Regards,

Is the destination file configurable and if so what language, I am proficient in php , but know nothing about flash or Flash CS3 (9+) is that required?
Thanks
2009 Oct 06Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To cpstine: Destination file configurable in flash file. It is AS3.
I can help you on that if you purchase the software
2009 Oct 06Question & Comment: cpstine
To deviantdesign:
I purchased the software could use whatever help you can offer.
Thanks
2009 Oct 19Question & Comment: cccgpr
Hi, I am interested to buy the software.
Is it possible to choose the picture's name and save it in a database.
Thanks in advance.
2009 Oct 19Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To cccgpr: yes you can do it in php side of application
2009 Oct 19Question & Comment: cccgpr
I am testing everything using XAMPP and it seem to works , but it is unable to show the taken image (that is correctly saved in the folder...)
The same files are working correctly in the remote server...
Any suggestion?
2009 Oct 19Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To cccgpr: There is a static file name in the flash file.
l.load(new URLRequest("myPicture.png"));
Please change it to a dynamic variable.
2009 Oct 26Question & Comment: cccgpr
Thank for all suggestions...
Now it is working perfectly with XAMMP and in the server, saving in JPG.
A great software, exactly what I was looking for.
2009 Nov 02Question & Comment: flonix
Can the pictures be saved a jpegs now? Or can you change it so they save as jpegs automatically with a predefined name as in the specified file get overwritten every time.
2009 Nov 17Question & Comment: nadavy
Does is work with ASP .Net as well? Is that simple to convert the PHP code into ASP .Net equivalent?
2009 Nov 18Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To nadavy: Since ASP.Net does not hove base64_decode function, You need to use following function instead of base64_decode
http://www.motobit.com/tips/detpg_Base64/
It is easy to conver it from PHP to ASP.NET

Question to DeviantDesign
We plan to use High Definition Webcam such as Logitech Pro 9000 to get high resolution still pictures.
If this script conforms with this requirement then we are glad to use it.
Thanks.
2009 Dec 15Question & Comment: farbman
Let's say I have four input webcam sources. Is this designed so that I could edit the PHP so that with one button click I could capture images from the four sources to the database as well as any other textual data I might want to include on a form all at once? Also, is this limited to webcams or any video input source? Thanks
2009 Dec 16Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To devgaul: This application is independent from Webcam Type. But you need to modify the webcam paramters to get HiDef picture.
Yes you can use it with HiDef webcam
2009 Dec 16Question & Comment: deviantdesign
To farbman: Yes you can use it 4 for different sources. When the application starts to run in browser flash player promts you to enable webcam. Once you allow your webcam to be used, right click on flash and click settngs. Under the settings you will see a webcam icon click on it. The you will be able to select webcam from dropdown.
2010 Jan 19Question & Comment: devgaul
To Deviandesign,
I finally bought your script.
To get HiDef Picture, should I change webcam parameter in the control panel or direct in the source code ?
Thanks.
