Flash Player is the most problematic platform right now because we're stuck in security sandbox. Sometimes users have unrealistic expectations of what FlashyWrappers can do in the web Flash Player. On mobile there's a great potential because of all the hardware acceleration FW can take advantage of(despite the weaker CPU's). But Flash Player is a virtual machine (similar to Java), and there's no way to capture OpenGL / DirectX. We're stuck without any acceleration AND non-native code.

Hello world!

Sample code shows how easy it is to generate a video in AS3 (FW 2.4 API)

		    



package  {       

	

	import com.rainbowcreatures.*;

	import com.rainbowcreatures.swf.*;

	import flash.events.*;

	import flash.net.FileReference;

	import flash.display.MovieClip;

	

	public class Helloworld extends MovieClip {

		

		var myEncoder:FWVideoEncoder;

		var frameIndex:Number = 0;

		var maxFrames:Number = 50;

		

		public function Helloworld() {

			// init FlashyWrappers!

			myEncoder = FWVideoEncoder.getInstance(this);			

			myEncoder.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, onStatus);

			myEncoder.load();

		}

		

		private function onStatus(e:StatusEvent):void {

			if (e.code == "ready") {

				// FlashyWrappers ready, capture in non-realtime mode(realtime set to false), with no audio

				myEncoder.start(20, FWVideoEncoder.AUDIO_OFF, false);	

			}

			if (e.code == "started") {

				addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);

			}

			if (e.code == "encoded") {

				// save the video

				var saveFile:FileReference = new FileReference();

				saveFile.save(myEncoder.getVideo(), "video.mp4");

			}

		}

		

		private function onFrame(e:Event):void {

			// animate 

			somethingInstance.x++;

			

			// capture the whole stage every frame - you can also capture individual DisplayOjects

			myEncoder.capture();

			frameIndex++;

			if (frameIndex >= maxFrames - 1) {

				// we've had enough of that, let's finish up!

				removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);				

				myEncoder.finish();

			}
