Hey Eric, newb question for you here… I’m missing something basic, not getting very far:

I downloaded your zip, created an project in cs4 and added FLARManagerExample_2D.as as the document class (it’s in the same folder)… set my document up for 640x480xffffff to match your flex project… I publish to flash10/as3 and I got nothing but a white player window. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much…

duh, nevermind.. i always figure these things out IMMEDIATELY after asking for help… I left the “.as” on the class name. sorry for that. thanks again for your work, digging into it now, will be sure to post my results when i have something supercool working.

Hi again Eric,
was trying the away3D version, and I had to had import the flash.geom.Matrix3D in the FLARCamera3D ( libspark.flartoolkit.away3d library…) at that point I had a problem with override…so Mr Watson ?!

the reason could only be : the libspark.flartoolkit in the folder only support away3D for fp9 (latest 2.3.3), but not the 3.3.3, for fp10..
or you say that the FlarManager run from fp10 to later.

I can take time and help you correct this if you want…
you must have my email above.

definitivly, that’s it (the flartoolkit for away is for the fp9 branch only )
we can also fallow that conversation in the away3D google group, I’m ben.

ok, fixed.
where can I send it to you ?

Hi!

I’ve installed FLARManager, but when I launch “FLARManagerExampleLauncher.as”, there are 2 errors (in french -’cause I’m french-, but I translate it in english):

VerifyError: Error #1033: Le type de l'entrée Cpool 14 est incorrect.
-> translate: The type of the entrance(entry) Cpool 14 is incorrect.

and

ReferenceError: Error #1065: La variable FLARManagerExampleLauncher n'est pas définie.
-> translate: The variable FLARManagerExampleLauncher is not defined.

Finally, the player appears, but it’s empty.

Could you help me, please?

Hi Eric – I downloaded your zip and I’m trying to get it built using FlashDevelop. I got the project loaded ok and the libraries added but when I build, it can’t find __AS3__.vec.Vector, flash.geom.Matrix3D and flash.geom.Vector3D ( I can find flash.geom via auto complete but it only sees colorTransform, Matrix, Point, Rectangle and Transform). Any ideas on what I could be missing for these classes?

Thanks!

oops! Figured it out – I just had to set it to target flashplayer10.

@ericsoco:
I don’t know what “Cpool” means, in french or in english. :\
For flash player 10, when I’ve installed Flex Builder 3.0 for the first time, there was flash player 9, but now I’ve installed flash player 10 since few months, and when I run FLARManagareExample Launcher.as, it’s “Adobe Flash Player 9″ which appears. :O

How can I do?

I am getting a compile with no errors but I am just getting a empty white screen in FP10, any help would be appreciated thnx.

1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before lessthan. private var matrixHistory:Vector.;

is error I am receiving on compile

@ericsoco thnx much, I switched sdks’s and all good now.

@ericsoco ->
:O!!!
I’ve uninstalled flash player.
I’ve donwloaded flash player 10.
But when I launch, it’s always “Adobe Flash Player 9″ which appears!

Heeelp!

Okay.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,
fine tool and a very good summary of needed libraries and how to get them.
Great blog post about the manager and its dependencies.

Thanks Eric!

Hi, FLARManager v0.5 work in Flash CS4???

hey all,
trying to get the example to compile using flashdevelop and have right clicked on the project and set to flash player 10 but alas am getting:

the configuration variable ‘runtime-shared-library-path’ requires a value for ‘rsl-url’

any help?

I wrote an article on my blog explaining how to use FLARManager v05 with FlashDevelop (french).

Hope it helps

How do i get this working? sounds like im totally novice as im surprised this is so difficult. Iv got the papervision3d code (no idea what to do with it), using flexBuilder 3, and im using Mac OS. Im still getting the white screen under firefox after running the app from FlexBuilder. How do i update the code to point it to the Flashplayer10?
Thanks guys.

I’m getting a sandbox security error when trying to access the config xml file. When I go in to update the compiler settings it won’t let me do it because “the page contains invalid values.” This shows up even if I don’t change anything so it’s not from something I added.

thanks eric, i finally got it working by changing the local security settings.

hi,
well, my english no is good

how can I display two different render collada patterns.
show two patterns at once and that each has a different render.

bye

hi, how can i run this from flash CS4
can someone help me,

thanks.

Hi Eric,
I’m using cs4 and already set my document class to FLARManagerExampleLauncher.as. But i still got white screen only. Did I miss something? Please help.

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, Eric. I’m using Flex Builder for this. I basically built up another project from scratch and was able to get around this error. Also, to get this to run outside of the projects directory I needed to add the new path to the list of trusted paths in: flexbuilder.cfg. After that, everything seems to be great. Nice job on this.

hi Eric,

thank you so much for flarManager! I am trying to get up to speed on everything AR, especially after MAX this past weekend. I have downloaded the latest FlarManager bundle, and I’m creating a new project in FlashBuilder – but despite everything I try to do, I keep getting this error:
“1119: Access of possibly undefined property minimumLabelSize through a reference with static type Class. FLARManager.as ”

I wanted to check if this is a known issue or if it has something to do with FlashBuilder, or if I am doing something wrong…

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

thanks eric… well, temporarily, i just added “public static var minimumLabelSize:Number;” to the FLARLabeling_BitmapData class because that’s where it was trying to access minimumLabelSize … I don’t like making changes to classes I don’t fully understand though, haha…

I’ll keep you posted if I come up with anything else that might be related…
Thanks!

Although… I think I was actually referencing the older version of FlarToolkit, doh! So I believe that fixed that issue.

Thanks again for your help!

hey Eric – I have one more question, hopefully the last for a while.
I have gotten everything set up and am able to get both a collada file (the one from your bundle) and a simple cube to appear/match to the marker.
The only thing is that both are reversed in relation to the marker… I saw that there’s a mirrorDisplay option for flarManager but also that it shouldn’t be necessary… and, setting it to true in my example doesn’t seem to change anything. Can you think of what I might be doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Update: I set the bMirror to false in convertFLARMatrixToPVMatrix which fixed it. Your samples didn’t have that set, so can you just let me know if i might have done something wrong in order for it to have to be set to false?
thanks !

Hi!
Im using CS4 and created a new doc and added the FLARManagerExampleLauncher.as. to my documento class. Also using Flash Player 10.
Just get a white screen and these 3 errors:

FLARCamera3d.as, Line 40
1017: The definition of base class Camera3D was not found.

Hi,
first of all, great work . FLARManager really make things simple.

I have problem that i can’t solve. I download FLARManager from svn, and using v6.0 from deploy folder. I set up my project with FlashDevlop and FlashIDE. But when i compile the project, it throw’s 3 errors:

1044: Interface method attachDestination in namespace org.libspark.flartoolkit.core.labeling:IFLARLabeling not implemented by class org.libspark.flartoolkit.core.labeling:FLARLabeling_BitmapData.

(in interest of space, i just copy the first one)
It says that FLARLabeling_BitmapData is not implementing the IFLARLabeling interface. I open that class, and there is implementation of that interface. I’m not very advanced AS 3.0 user, so could you help? What is the problem with this?
thanks

ericsoco,
thanks, that was the problem, a bug with CS4. I guess i will use just FlashDevelop. Thanks one more time and keep up the good work
Cheers.

GOOD Example.!
it is possible to change the doll?
that program you can create?

best regards Filipe

Hi,

I’ve downloaded the FLARManager from your site, and followed all the steps described in the how-to. Unfortunately I get the following error:

SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file file:///D:/Actionscript Libraries/FLARManager/FLARManager_v06/bin-debug/FLARManagerExampleLauncher.swf cannot access local resource ../resources/flar/flarConfig.xml. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.

I get this error more often, and various sources tell me to add the following parameter to the flex compiler settings:

-use-network=false

Unfortunately I can’t enter this parameter in the FLARManager project settings. Do you have any idea how to fix this error (and maybe the sandbox violation errors in general)?

@glen — I also had trouble changing the compiler settings. The problem is reported at the top of the compiler settings window — something about a missing file, FLARcat.as — you’ll see it at the top of the compiler settings window.

To fix, search all files in the project for FLARcat.as and change the reference to FLARManagerLauncher.as .

That should help.

I’m having an issue running step 7 of this tutorial. I get ‘Launch Failed’ The pop up says: ‘Failed to connect; session timed out. Ensure that:
1. You compiled your Flash application with debugging on.
2. You are running the debugger version of flash player.

I am on a mac (sigh) and I installed flash player 10 debugger, (flash verison: MAC 10,0,32,18).

Any ideas?
Also whenever I run it text wrangler opens up with the html in it. I have a feeling this is going to be an issue down the road. Anyone know how to make sure this opens in Firefox instead? I have that file set to open with firefox.

Thanks for any and all help.
Justin

hi,

yesterday i played withflartoolkit. now i reading that flarmanager is easyier.
ok, thats cool – but i dont understand this lines like:


// general management
private var _activeMarkers:Vector.;


why there are “”.

flex also shows me errors on this lines:


1084: Syntaxfehler: identifier vor lessthan erforderlich.
FLARManager/src/com/transmote/flar FLARManager.as line 110 1258444840930 318

(erforderlich = identifier needed)

can somebody help me?

btw: i dont had and have any html-errors like “can not create html…”

thank you for all
qualtext

the tags are hidden…
after “var _activeMarkers:Vector.” there ar [TAG]FlarMarker[TAG close].

hi,
that was the problem – i fixed it. i updated my flex-builder (sdk) to 3.5.

btw: how many frames per second get you when more than one marker is tracking? my webcam (max 60 FPS / 640×480) only gets 3 – 9 frames…

Hey!
I downloaded the bundle and got Flex Builder 3.0.2.
When I try to lunch the FLARManagerExampleLauncher in the Debug menu item the browser opens, ask me to allow the use of the webcam and then it just bugs. Neither IE or Firefx could work and I got the latest flash player debugs.
Sometimes it goes “Failed to connect; session timed out.”, but other times the browser just closes itself.

Any tips?

Hello eric, you were absolutly right.
The problem is my camera: Foston Ft-600, I really don’t recomend it.
Sometimes it does work, sometimes it doesn’t. I couldn’t figure out yet exacly why this is happening, but I’ll buy another one anyway.
Thanks.

I setup the project as a FLEX actionscript project. It seems that I have no errors however when I run the FLARManagerExampleLauncher.as it pops up what I would expect to be my cam window with the usual accept and dent options for Flash Player, however it just stays white.

I have successfully setup other projects that use the FLARToolkit but this is my first attempt at using the FLARManager bundle.

Please Help!

I seem to have solved the problem by using the version of the FLARManager copy from the deploy directory of the v061 that I checkout using svn. Perhaps the answer as to what is wrong with the zipped bundle is somewhere above and I missed it.

cest la vie

Hi All, Thanks for any and all advice!

I have successfully created a marker locked video playing on a continuously tranformable plane, ala Brimelows example with Kramer from Seinfeld.

I am able to build and run it from Flex Builder 3 running on Windows 7. However, when I build it to the webdirectory, c:/inetpu/wwwroot/FLARManager1……I cannot see it when I attempt to access it from a remote client or even from local host. All that appens is that the initial camera access query pops up in the Flash Player 10 embedde screen and then when I select accept it does nothing.

When I run a FLARtoolkit based example it can be veiwed from the IDE, from localhost, and has been published and is viewable from a remote client.

Is there something about the FLARManager imports, the vid.swc file, etc. that is hanging it up or do I have to configure the webserver to handle the streaming video differently? (Actually I do not think this is the problem as I also cannot seem to publish the basic FLARManager example from Sakoosha and have them visible from my web server.

Any and all input on this issue will be gratefully accepted. Thanks in advnace gfor your consideration and assitance.

Regards,

Revilorb

Ok thanks ericsoco,

But, and I know its a noob question, how can I do that??

Thanks again!

OK, It appea5rs my submission of the entire HTTP header log file was too lengthy for the blog. To summarize,

When I run a FLARToolkit example hosted from Microsoft-IIS/7.5 where the client is User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100106 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.7

All of the headers receive the HTTP/1.x 200 OK flag

However when I use the example that uses the flar manager where the patter files and the camera.parma.dat file are referred to in the flarcongi.xml file…..the header results are different, i.e.

Hi All, Since my last post I have experiemented with moving the locations of the camera_para.dat and the pattern files to the webroot and modify the paths in the build files however, nothing seems to help. I am feeling very frustrated. The only projects that I have been able to succssfully serve from my IIS 7.5 server are ones that do ot make use of the FLARManager.

HI,

I’ve installed Flex SDK with eclipse (in linux ubuntu 64bits).

It is giving me the following errors:


Description Resource Path Location Type

How can i solve it?

Thanks

I already read many times this forum and the answer is always “you need to target flash 10″. But i cannot understand how i can do that:
note: im working in ubuntu 9.10 64bits:

1- I have flash 10 installed in my computer
2- in my FlexBuilder directory i have a directory called Player/linux which has the flash 9 files:

flashplayer

I’ve replace that files by the flash 10 files but i maintain the name of the directoy install_flash_player_9_linux.

Im still having the following errors:

when launch the adobe_flex_builder.sh:

Standalone player is available under and will be used from
/home/edup/MySoftware/FlexBuilder/Player/linux/flashplayer

I already followed this site and nothing:

No marker detected? Im using Flash CS4. I have downloaded and installed all the classes, targeting FP 10, I modified the libspark bitmap labeling classes with the dummy class…

Everything seems to be working properly, but when I publish the file, the camera just doesn’t seem to detect the marker. Camera is working great, room is lit, i see the marker plainly but Im getting no marker detection events firing. I even tried re-installing CS4.

Anyone else run into this? Everything seems to be in order… but no luck.

When I import my collada file I only see a wireframe of my model. How can I fix this?

Thanksss

Im now getting the flex builder plugin working with eclipse in ubuntu 64 bits but running the eclipse europa at 32bits. Im abble to make applications with flex library.

The problem is with FlarManager Examples. Now i can run in my localhost linux the camera on flash (but very very pixalized). I already can see the 3D objects in the patterns (but again very pixelized).

In others computers i’ve tried to access to my computer via network and the only thing i can see is the framerate in the top left side of the browser.

Can you help me?

Thanks

Hi,

I am using Flashdevelop but i get the
identifier before lessthan
error.

I do have my project settings to target flash player 10? How can i check if this is indeed the case??

hmm, i just notice with a simple hello world flashdevelop targets Flash player 8???
strange as i set the target player to 10

Just to inform to future that i was trying to install flex plugin with eclipse galileu but without success. Then i’ve installed the europa and downloaded the last sdk of flex (3.5) then i’ve followed the instruction in http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Targeting+Flash+Player+10 and now i’ve flex builder plugin working.

Now i’ve found out this webiste http://blog.danyul.id.au/?p=68 to put it working on eclipse galileu (but i haven’t tried).

FlarManager is still giving me the problems of my last post.

Hi,
thanks for source. But i have one question.
i use this example and i dont have any problem but i want to use multiple collada model such as when i use a.pat i can see walking man but when i want use secondery pat (ex:b.pat) i cant see another collada model pls help me…..

my part of code

// load the model.
// (this model has to be scaled and rotated to fit the marker; every model is different.)
var model:DAE = new DAE(true,”model”,true);
model.load(“../resources/assets/daire.dae”);
model.load(“../resources/assets/scout.dae”);
model.rotationX = 90;
model.rotationZ = 90;
model.scale = 0.5;

and FLARconfig.xml

I get a ton of errors and warnings. Flushed more than a few of them out. Still cannot compile.

Hi,

I’ve been giving this a shot and everything is working really well, however I am trying to embed the final .swf into one of my Flash projects as part of a page. I have tried accessing it using the URL Loader but arrived with the following errors:

Code to embed .swf:

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“HelloFLAR_IMD.swf”);
myLoader.load(url);

Thanks Eric!

Worked out like a charm, didn’t realise CS4 compiles .swf targetted to FP9 by default. Great!

Hey I’m using Flash cs4 and I’m targeting flash player 10 and I’m creating a new fla and setting the document class to FLARManagerExampleLauncher but I’m getting 3 errors in the FLARLabeling_BitmapData:

Interface method attachDestination in namespace org.libspart.flartoolkit.core.labeling:IFLARALabeling not implemented by class org.libspart.flartoolkit.core.labeling:FLARLabeling_BitMapData

Hi Eric,

It’s me once again, this time I am trying to load this external .swf as part of an interface I’ve designed.

Loading is not a problem, simply by calling this command, the window appears like a charm..

var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“HelloFLAR_IMD.swf”);
myLoader.load(url);
myLoader.x = 150;
myLoader.y = 80;
myLoader.z = 2;
stage.addChild(myLoader);

However, when i removeChild or unloadAndStop() the FLARManager persist in the background (shown by the greenlight on the webcam). And i can’t re-initialize the loader again.. is there a solution for this?

This may be a stupid question but I’m a noob with all this. How do I put 3D objects on the screen that don’t rely on markers? I know how to attach objects to markers but I’m trying to find a way to decorate the screen with objects on initialisation that have nothing to do with markers

I am able to place objects on the screen in PV3D. That’s not a problem. However it is a lot more complicated when using FLAR objects. I cannot just add an object to the scene as you would in a normal PV3D app. I thought this would be a simple thing to do but I have searched everywhere and I can’t find any examples where an object is placed on the screen which is not attached to a marker. I’ve created a 3D container and added an object to it (such as a cube or a plane) and added that to the scene, but it won’t show up.

Well whadya know, there is a simple solution! (yep, easy when uv spent ages going thru code). The constructor for FLARCamera3D sets .z to 0 (to align perspective of the augmented objects with the camera view). If you trace the value of .z beforehand you will see that it is -1000. Basically you just gotta add 1000 to the value of .z of any objects that you are going to add directly to scene3D. So yeh, my objects were being drawn, they were just really far away

Hi, I’m having a problem when compiling FLARManager in Flash CS4. This error message always pop up:

FLARManagerExampleLauncher.as – 1020: Method marked override must override another method

I tried version 07, 06, 06.1 and the result is still the same. Please help me, I’m desperate as I am not allowed to use anything beside CS4 in this project.

Inside FLARManager: Getting Started …

Get start how to build Augmented Reality
this quickstart guide requires that you have Flex Builder 3.2+ and a webcam. for information on other environments….

I’m trying to compile the sample code, but my Flash CS3 compilier doesn’t like the open and close tags () after the Vector variable declarations, as in var _activeMarkers:Vector.. (If that doesn’t print, it is ‘var _activeMarkers:Vector.[less than symbol] FlarMarker[greater than symbol].’
While I await the CS5 installation to compelete, and hope the CS5 compiler doesn’t choke on it, I’m wondering if this is post CS3 syntax, and what it means, or something else.

don’t work with flash builder cs4?

First of all thanks for this great wrapper class.
I was wondering is it possible to combine FLARManager with JigLib physics? If so can you please guide me?

Thanks in Advance

I really need help!! I have presentation on 27th of July !!!!

many thanks in advance

Hi, I’ve just downloaded FLARManager and imported the Flex project into Flash Builder 4. The following errors appear:
Error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile time constant: CLibInit (FlareTracker.as, line 75)
Error 1172: Definition cModule.libFlareTracker:CLibInit could not be found (FlareTracker.as, line 16)
Error 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method CLibInit (FlareTracker.as, line 99)

I’d be very grateful if someone could tell me how to resolve them (I’m new to all this so go gentle on me!).

Cheers
Al

Hey Eric, thanks for flarmanager, and i have a question. ¿how works FLARPVGeomUtils on flarmanager 1.0?

[...] exatamente o que este post do blog do FLARManager diz, consegui testar a minha nova IDE (Flash Builder 4) neste MacBook quebrado, como se pode se ver [...]

hi, like the guy up there, I have this same problem.
I’ve installed Flash Builder, did exactly the same tutorial and left these errors.

Error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile time constant: CLibInit (FlareTracker.as, line 75)
Error 1172: Definition cModule.libFlareTracker:CLibInit could not be found (FlareTracker.as, line 16)
Error 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method CLibInit (FlareTracker.as, line 99)

Flarmanager v1.0.1 and Alternativa3D

HI, I’m actually working very good with collada models and FLARToolkit, but the quality of the models is poor, I’m looking for a tutorial of Alternativa3D and FLARmanager but I don no have good luck.

Can anyone help me to understand how to work with 3d models, altenrnativa3d and FLARManager.

Thanks in advance.

I’m haveing the same problem as the 2 people above. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’m new to this but have been doing a lot of research and studying. I feel like I might have to add another library but I have no idea how or which to add. I imported the folder with flash builder 4 and these are the errors I receive. thank you for all the help.

rror 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile time constant: CLibInit (FlareTracker.as, line 75)
Error 1172: Definition cModule.libFlareTracker:CLibInit could not be found (FlareTracker.as, line 16)
Error 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method CLibInit (FlareTracker.as, line 99)

I’m hoping someone might have figured out this error:

Error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile time constant: CLibInit (FlareTracker.as, line 75)
Error 1172: Definition cModule.libFlareTracker:CLibInit could not be found (FlareTracker.as, line 16)
Error 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method CLibInit (FlareTracker.as, line 99)

If so, I’d be grateful if you shared it.

Thanks.

@ericsoco

No all I did was download the new flarmanager and after unzipping imported it into the new adobe flash builder 4. After doing that I get the 3 CLibInit errors. I still dont understand how to fix it. Can you please explain how to change the default tracker? I’m new to this but have been learning a lot everyday. Thank you for all your help and everyone else on this forum.

Hi guys,

Regarding the CLibInit error, ericsosco had it right – you need to add the flare .swc in your build path. The link to the .swc is near the top of this blog post but also here: http://www.imagination.at/en/?Products:Augmented_Reality_for_Flash

I’m a little foggy (lack of sleep) but I think I received another error after I included this .swc. Of course, I’m using Flex 3 so some of the other missing .swc’s might be in Flash Builder.

Good luck and thank you ericsoco for all of your help.

What does CLib do? I have those 3 errors but when I run the program it runs fine maybe a little slow in frame rates but the dae file comes up on the pattern and it tracks fine. Just wondering if I’m missing something here. Thanks for all your help you guys most definitely are good people. Thank you again. I’ve created an actionscripts folder and copied the swc files to it and added it to my build path and I still have those errors.

This ill help us this explains everything.

http://groups.google.com/group/flartoolkit-userz/browse_thread/thread/d41af1d64618c8f1?fwc=1

Its the FlareTracker.swc file and license.txt there not in the Lib Folder. Since I never downloaded those the CLib error is coming up. Guess I didn’t really understand the instructions. Thank you guys for all your help I hope this explains it for the other people with the CLib error.

Hey Eric,

I’m trying to capture/record the coordinates/movement or my 3D model during an AR session. My idea is to recreate the movement of the model in a different session. I’m about to go through the various classes to see where I can get the x, y and z coordinates over time. My guess is this information is in the transformMatrix. I’m wondering if you have any thoughts you could share?

Thanks.

@eric – That’s what I figured. I’ll add the transformMatrix to the array. Going to run a test this weekend. I’ll definitely share the final product with you once I’m done (assuming you are interested). Again, thank you so much for your time and effort.

I just download the FLARManager 1.01 package.But when I import it in the Flash Builder,
There are some errors as below:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: CLibInit. FlareTracker.as /FLARManager/src/at/imagination/flare line 75 Flex Problem

1172: Definition cmodule.libFlareTracker:CLibInit could not be found. FlareTracker.as /FLARManager/src/at/imagination/flare line 16 Flex Problem

1180: Call to a possibly undefined method CLibInit. FlareTracker.as /FLARManager/src/at/imagination/flare line 99 Flex Problem
What should I do?Thanks a lot!

Regarding the CLibInit error
Hello! I’m sorry if asking a stupid question – i started to explore this technology only yesterday.
I have the same CLibInit problem and i read carefully all the discussion above and visited all the links. BUT. Where to get these FlareTracker.swc and license.txt files??? I don’t have them on my computer and can’t find in the web. Can’t get it…
Thank you so much for help!
Polina

@ZhangChuan, read the “Note” under the AR sample picture.

Thank you Eric! Though it still doesn’t work for me – i get the same error…

@eric – I got it sorted thank you for your help. I re downloaded the flar manager and its working fine.

just getting this error but program is running should I be concerned about it

VerifyError: Error #1033: Cpool entry 56 is wrong type.
[SWF] H:\AS\FLARManager_v1_0_3\bin-debug\FLARManagerExampleLauncher.swf – 867,799 bytes after decompression

Thank you for your patients. You are doing a great job!!!!!

Hi Eric,

Question: Is it possible to replace the video coming from a camera, with video coming from a NetStream and still have the FLAR work? I know that the FLARCameraSource.as pulls in the video from the webcam. I’ve tried to replace it with streamed video however the marker within the video doesn’t seem to get picked-up. Am I missing something completely fundamental?

Thanks.

Novian

Hi again,

I’ll definitely take a look at the FLARLoaderSource method although I think I’m essentially doing the same thing via the FLARCameraSource hack. The trouble I’m having now is with this function in FLARCameraSource:

public function update () :void {
this.displayBmpData.draw(this.video, this.displayMatrix);
this.sampleBmpData.draw(this.video, this.sampleMatrix);
}

I’m guessing it’s trying to take snapshots of my video which is streaming via RTMP. I’m getting a security error. Thoughts?

Another quick question: I can load a .flv into the FLARLoaderSource, no?

Thanks again, Eric. Yeah, it looks like I need my FMS host to make a couple of changes to the main.asc and application.xml files on the server. This should allow me to do the BitmapData.draw on my .flv. I’ll let you and anyone else who’s interested know how it goes.

Thanks.

Really exists the version Flex Builder 3.2 .. or you are refering to the flex SDK version whe you says “Flex Builder 3.2″

I have the Flex Builder 3.02… with the flex SDK 3.4.1.10084 (stable)
and when I import the project appear many error like:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Matrix3D. FLARManager Unknown 1292166721382 1542

and:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Vector. FLARManager/src/com/transmote/flar/marker FLARMarker.as line 284 1292166720331 1513

why?
do flarmanager works here??

why is it that i can write everythin i want into the thresholdadapter classname? even when i type in “kcndsn” there seems to be no change?

hi,
i am trying to run FLARManagerExampleLauncher on Flash Builder but the player doesn’t show on Firefox or google chrome, but it does on Internet explorer. My browser’s flash version is 10.1.102.64. what could be the problem on this?

please help thanks!

@ericsoco: thanks! just opened the browser today and already worked.. kinda weird

Holy hell. I’m a major n00b, and I’m having problems with Flash Builder 4.
I downloaded FLARManager, imported it into FB4, and now when I try to compile/debug/whatever, I get nothing but a blank screen in any browser I try.

Originally I had errors being thrown at me regarding Flash Player 10, but I fixed that. I also did the Chrome workaround for FP10. Well, I don’t get any more errors, but I get nothing period.

Any help would be much appreciated. I apologize if I’m making you repeat yourself. I read all of the above comments and still couldn’t find a solution.

Thanks so much.

Hey Eric,

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m not even sure how/where to fix that. I’ll definitely look on that forum, though.

Thanks again!

i just simply love you

you rockkkkkk i was wondering what to do with the errors and all stuff but there is one problem i get the project running but i dont know how this all is done i mean i want to know every minute detail of this if you have any complete documentation or any book please recommend

Hi Eric,
desperately trying to get this to run for uni work, tried a million other tutorials now for AR and nothing is working for some reason.
here; when importing the project folder, it just says it doesn’t contain a valid flash builder project..has it not unzipped properly?
windows seriously, you can’t unzip anything without a fault

cheers in advance!

I have downloaded the source files to the Lee Brimelow tutorial video and when I import the project into Flash Builder I get the following error message:

unable to open ‘/Users/brimelow/Documents/ActionScript’ HelloFLAR Unknown Flex Problem

The camera will start up when I run the program but it wont recognise the A card I hold up in front of the camera. Surely everyone gets this same error message when they install the source files as the source path is including brimelow which ofcourse is a mistake.

Can anyone help me or download the source files to the video like they are now and see if they get the same error message?

Any help will be much appreciated!!

Hi Eric,
How to import flarmanager in flash builder 4.5 to air desktop.

Thanks

hello, i’m try this getting started but i had this error

FLARManager_v1_1_0\src\examples\FLARManagerTutorial_Collada_Away3D.as(55): col: 3: Error: unable to resolve ‘../resources/assets/mario_tex.jpg’ for transcoding
[Embed(source="../resources/assets/mario_tex.jpg")]

anyone can help me ?
thanks

Trying to dive into this and not getting very far with the example files. Running into some compile errors because certain files can’t be located, or don’t exist.

I’m not using Flash Builder, but created a new file in Flash (CS5.5). AS3 and Fp10.2. Set the document class to one of the FLARManagerExampleLauncher.as to start.

Goes through compiling and gets stuck on a variety of files. As I address one issue I create new ones. For example I moved the resources to the src folder. That fixed some issues. But now it’s having trouble correctly pathing to Away3D libs and more.

Is there another folder structure I can download that is setup and running? Thanks!
Stephen
