Open Source Media Framework - Introduction

Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) simplifies the development of media players by allowing developers to assemble components to create high-quality, full-featured video playback experiences. This open framework enables development focused on web-based video monetization, with lower costs and faster turnaround.   For organizations that are publishing video, audio, or other rich media on the web or to mobile devices, Adobe has a new Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) that can dramatically lower the time, costs, and risks of creating your video and media players. OSMF-based video and media players run in both Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR.   OSMF itself is an ActionScript 3 code library employed by developers authoring media players using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional and Adobe Flex Builder 3 (as well as any other tool for authoring ActionScript applications).   References Links   http://www.adobe.com/devnet/video/articles/osmf_overview.html http://opensource.adobe.com/wik

If at First You Don’t Succeed

A very good saying about Failure which will not let you disappointed…. Failure doesn't mean - "You are a failure," It means - You have not succeeded. Failure doesn't mean - "You accomplished nothing," It means - You have learned something. Failure doesn't mean - "You have been a fool," It means - You had a lot of faith. Failure doesn't mean - "You don't have it," It means - You were willing to try. Failure doesn't mean - "You are inferior," It means - You are not perfect. Failure doesn't mean - "You've wasted your life," It means - You have a reason to start afresh. Failure doesn't mean - "You should give up," It means - You must try harder. Failure doesn't mean - "You'll never make it," It means - It will take a little longer. Failure doesn't mean - "God has abandoned you," It means - God has a better way for you.

Adobe Introduce Adobe AIR Launchpad

Adobe® AIR® Launchpad beta is a new desktop tool that helps Adobe Flex® developers get started building desktop applications deployed on Adobe AIR. Simply run Adobe AIR Launchpad and select the capabilities you need; Adobe AIR Launchpad will create a ready-to-import Flex project with your selected features implemented in a way that can be easily modified and extended. You can use the resulting project as a starting point for your AIR application. Adobe AIR Launchpad creates a folder structure with a ready-to-compile AIR application with the selected features implemented. It also creates a ZIP file in the parent folder that can be imported directly into Adobe Flash® Builder™. If auto update was selected, a "server" subfolder will be created that contains the xml file needed on the server to control auto-update. If an install badge was selected, a "install_badge" subfolder will be created containing the necessary files to create an install badge. This software wa

Cross-domain Policy File Specification

A  cross-domain policy file  is an XML document that grants a web client such as Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, etc. permission to handle data across multiple domains. When a client hosts content from a particular source domain and that content makes requests directed towards a domain other than its own, the remote domain would need to host a cross-domain policy file that grants access to the source domain, allowing the client to continue with the transaction. Policy files grant read access to data, permit a client to include custom headers in cross-domain requests, and are also used with sockets to grant permissions for socket-based connections. Sample Case 1… <?xml version="1.0" ?> <cross-domain-policy>      <allow-access-from domain="*" /> </cross-domain-policy> here the allow-access-from element specifies that content from '*' means any requesting domain can access any data within the target domain Sample Case 2….
