Play FLV from ByteArray in Flash Player

- by bartekb

Hi, I have a flash video file (FLV) stored in the ByteArray object and would like to play this video. Is there any way to achieve it? Maybe using Alchemy? Thank you!

Live video streaming using progressive download (and not RTMP) in Flash

Hi, Is it possible to use progressive download for near real-time playback of a live video stream recorded with a webcam? What I need is that a video stream is recorded on one end, uploaded in real-time to a server and downloaded with a short delay, but in real-time, using progressive download (i.e., HTTP streaming) on another end for playback. Is it possible or does it require the use of RTMP? If it's possible, then does it require that Flash Media Server runs on a server? Thanks!

Python SUDS - problem with sending a message encoded not in UTF-8

- by bartekb

I need to send a SOAP message (with Python SUDS) with strings encoded in 'iso-8859-2'. Does anybody know how to do it? SUDS raises the following exception when I invoke a method on a client with parameters encoded in 'iso-8859-2': File "/home/bartek/myenv/lib/python2.5/site-packages/suds/sax/text.py", line 43, in __new__ result = super(Text, cls).__new__(cls, *args, **kwargs) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 10: ordinal not in range(128)

FileReference.save() duplicates ByteArray

- by bartekb

Hi, I've encountered a memory problem using FileReference.save(). My Flash application generates of a lot of data in real-time and needs to save this data to a local file. As I understand, Flash 10 (as opposed to AIR) does not support streaming to a file. But, what's even worse is that FileReference.save() duplicates all the data before saving it. I was looking for a workaround to this doubled memory usage and thought about the following approach: What if I pass a custom subclass of ByteArray as an argument to FileReference.save(), where this ByteArray subclass would override all read*() methods. The overridden read*() methods would wait for a piece of data to be generated by my application, return this piece of data and immediately remove it from the memory. I know how much data will be generated, so I could also override length/bytesAvailable methods. Would it be possible? Could you give me some hint how to do it? I've created a subclass of ByteArray, registered an alias for it, passed an instance of this subclass to FileReference.save(), but somehow FileReference.save() seems to treat it just as it was a ByteArray instance and doesn't call any of my overridden methods... Thanks a lot for any help!
