Based on comments received in my previous article I’ve decided to also produce an example using Flash Professional CS4. The approach is different in some ways, but very similar in others.

Absolutely wonderful that Google has finally released an AS3 version of their chromeless player for use in Flex/AS3 projects. No more weird proxy hacks!!! I’ve thrown together a quick example and have posted the code below. Really simple stuff to set up and use. Google seems to be more and more friendly to the Flash …

At the Adobe Education Leader Summer Institute this past July, I gave a presentation entitled Leveraging the Flash Platform to Deliver Dynamic Media Across Campus which dealt with what the University of Denver is working on in regard to the Flash Platform, focusing upon our work with CourseMedia™. I received a good deal of positive …
I just posted a video on the Adobe Education Leader weblog showcasing a lot of the neat tools we’ve built into the University of Denver CourseMedia™ system. Most people never see this stuff since it’s all behind closed doors due to copyright and soforth. Check it out!
I wrote a new AIR app called LiveStreamer available now via the Adobe AIR Marketplace. This started as a simple mechanism to display a live RTMP stream from Flash Media Server to a client machine and related projection system. So… not for broadcast over the web- just sending a live stream from one physical location …
I took some time today to update the VidLoop AIR application. The current version is 1.2.2. New features include a randomize function and the integration of the AIR Update Framework. I’ve also fixed a few small bugs. A note of importance here… I really should have integrated the update framework before my initial public build. …
Last week, I was approached by someone asking if we could build a small application that would run a series of videos in a continual loop. I told him it would be pretty simple to do this and that it would only be an afternoon’s work in AIR. So, that evening, I was able to …
There is really no denying it at this point for anyone who was seriously contending. Flash has the crown and is in no way giving it up. After seeing what Alchemy can do at the keynote today, P2P multicast video, Durango, and Server-Side ActionScript (!) during Sneaks this evening… Good God… what an awesome time …
I had heard about a security concern over Amazon’s video streaming service a few days ago with a lot of people (including some at Amazon) blaming Adobe for the security hole. Apparently, there is an exploit in their (Amazons) player that allows stream-ripping a full video. I’ve read the documentation on FMS3 security features and …
First, let me say that I absolutely love working in Adobe Premiere Pro. The interface is clean and snappy- I can get things done in an organized way without a ton of fuss. Now with batch export through Adobe Media Encoder in CS4, it’s just a real, genuine pleasure to work with. Now, I also …
In past versions of FMS, developers were barred from accessing raw audio and video data over RTMP and had to resort to a number of hacks and proxies to get around the restriction. As time went by and new versions of the Flash Player were released, a lot of these loopholes were blocked as well. …
