Bitmap.draw with FLVPlayback component using a Streaming RTMP source

 / Published in: ActionScript 3

If you ever need to take a snapshot of an FLV that is streaming, you know you cant just use bitmap.draw because you get a Security Sandbox Violation. To be specific:

SecurityError: Error #2135: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: file:///your.swf cannot access rtmp://yourStreamingServer.net. RTMP content cannot be accessed using this API. at flash.display::BitmapData/draw() at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/takeSnapshot()

This will allow you to do it by simply disconnecting the netStream and reattaching it.

  1. function takeSnapshot():void
  2. {
  3. 	// vidPlayer is the instance name of your FLVPlaybackComponent
  4. 	var nsObj = vidPlayer.getVideoPlayer(0);
  5. 	nsObj.attachNetStream(null);
  6.  
  7. 	// Take the snapshot
  8. 	var myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(vidPlayer.width, vidPlayer.height);
  9. 	var img = myBitmapData.draw(vidPlayer);
  10. 	var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);
  11. 	addChild(bmp);
  12.  
  13. 	// reattach the netstream object
  14. 	nsObj.attachNetStream(nsObj.netStream);
  15. }
