[Papervision3D] Playing with video

[Roland Cozzolino]

The other random note is that you don't need to render all 6 faces.  Since a
cube running in perspective mode can only show 3 faces at any time, you cut
down on rendering by updating the bitmap textures of the faces that a user
can see.

The first thing I tried playing with was a cube running video on all faces,
but I constructed the cube from individual planes and created 6 movies
within flash 9 alpha using 1 video object in the library.  Within each movie
I added a script on the first frame to pull the movie down and play it.
Then within the render function I would  update the movieAssetMaterial.  I
am very curious to know if you did it the same way ... it would really suck
if it was a factor of hardware or internet connection.  All my videos are
streaming, but I can't imagine that would matter.

Hi Oscar,

I experienced the same problem. There are actually limitations in the 
Flash Player when capturing bitmapData of FLVs. Check out the tech note 
http://tinyurl.com/ywrtvg. Note the part about Flash 9, "In Flash Player 
9, this feature is obsolete, and streaming video cannot be captured". 
Also, http://tinyurl.com/38rsoe has some more info. Chris Chen offers a 
solution, http://tinyurl.com/27qgsp. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get 
this to work. What I did was create a Flash 8 SWF and used it as a 
proxy. It took the path to the FLV as a query string param and was 
responsible for loading the video. I load up the proxy in AS3 / FP9 and 
capture away.

Hope this helps,

Paul
