AS3 Layout Organizers Applied to Video
13.09.07 @ 9:42 amLast week, I showcased an idea of Flash layout organizers (source code is coming), that acts loosely the same as Flex containers. I have already started to use this basic idea and it has so far worked out very nicely for me. After posting my little experiment, I instantly thought of mashing up the layout organizer experiment with the Flash video sampler experiment I did a couple months back. The current example of bringing the two together is overly simplistic to better give the idea of what is happening, but I can already see tremendous potential for fun with this technique.
This technique extensively uses the copyPixels method and the performance is much better than I honestly expected. The current example’s video is broken up into 225 individual boxes, each bitmaps pulling from the video every 40 milliseconds. That is a lot of computations. I wanted to drop this relatively sophomoric example out there to clearly show what this technique does - hopefully this week or next I will be able to have a little more fun with this and push the visual/interactive aspects.actionscript 3, as3, bitmap, containers, copypixels, flash, layout organizers, organizers, simplistic, swf, video, video sampler video segmentation

That was the weirdest video I have ever seen in my entire life.

This is a great little example, I am new to AS3 though and have been working with the Bitmap Data class a lot lately… is there any chance I can get the source of this?
Thanks!

[…] Bitmap.draw() on NetStream video… Yes, I know, this is a good thing, but it broke my code for this, this, this and this. I have managed to partially fix a couple of them, but this is really my fault […]
