Question
Creating a 'high-def' AV Component
I'm working on a virtual classroom videochat application for
Communication Server MX. I'm about 4 days into my experience with
Flash Comm and I'm not very far along.
The application calls for four small live video spots for the professors who are presenting and on larger video spot for the classroom camera. I've tried doing this using Flash MX' AVPresence component linked to the simple connect component. This setup works but gives end-users horrible video quality.
I've read around and found that the problem is that I am essentialy stretching the video by specifying a larger size than the default at that is the source of the distortion and pixelation. I also found many people who suggested that the solution was to build a custom video component that allows enlarging the feed.
So far I can't find any sort of guide that suggests I can do this or explains how. I've got pages of documentation but I don't know enough about the stuff to sort out where to start piecing together this component.
Can anyone give me or direct me to some good resources or tutorials for creating a higher resolution video component?
