Hi
I hope some one can help me.
I have an AS2 flash project that has a stage area of 1920x1080
on this layout I am presenting dynamic images and text via XML.
I have also an area to present a live DVD input using the webcam component.
The application is designed to run locally on a PC using Flash Player 11.
DVD is giving a Pal standard resolution output of 720x586 pixels
On the stage I have defined an area of 400x300 to present the webcam component via xml.
Problem I have is I was expecting the Video to be scaled to fit the area defined
but the video is not being scaled instead it is being cropped to 400x300
We have dynamically set the Mode for the camera via xml and setting the favorArea to true so that resizing the video will have priority over the quality of the processed feed.
e.g. imagine watching the CNN / BBC news these channels have the graphics
and headers scrolling at the bottom of the screen. These bottom graphics are being cropped, and so are the rest of the sides of the video feed.
part of the code:
my_cam = Camera.get();
my_cam.setMode(pSettings.width, pSettings.height, 30, true);
var b:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("IDvideoWebcam", "aa", this.getNextHighestDepth());
my_videoCamera = b.vid;
my_videoCamera.attachVideo(my_cam);
b._width = pSettings.width;
b._height = pSettings.height;
Can you please advise me what it is I am doing wrong and how to solve this scaling issue.
I would be greatful for a response / sample file would be even better.
If not an AS2 solution/then please explain AS3.
I look forward to you reply.
Kind Regards
