What is the reason that the ’scannerdemo.fla’ document (in barcodecomponent1.0.zip) is a ‘Compiled Clip’? So I cannot edit this ‘Library’ in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional.

Hi Chris,
Is it possible for you read QR (2D) barcodes from your code.
Also how much OCR can this do.Do we need to hold the object very close to webcam. I am looking for applications like reading snippets of newspapers etc.

Please write to me.

Thanks
Srini

This problem can be rectified by hosting the flash file on the server where it redirects although when you do this the flash file redirects you to barcodepedia. Could this be changed so that it doesn’t and may be make it so the text in the lower right links to barcodepedia???

To get the downloadable Version from barcodepedia.com working, add something like:
getURL(_level0.baseUrl + e, “_blank”);
in the Layer 1 / Frame 1 - Actionscript where the trace command is.
You will have to enable cross-site redirects in the Flash Player’s user settings for it to work. If you want to reuse the running movie to open various sites, comment out the stop() in Layer 2 / Frame 2

How do you use the barcode scanner on a Logitech Quickcam webcam?

The scanner seems to work fine, but due to some cross-site-scripting restrictions (I guess) it needs to be run off my own site. Couldn’t read variables (the javascript refresh) on my home machine, though it worked great on my work machine.

So I downloaded the source files - but how do I edit and compile .swc files? What program to use? I have no experience with Flash whatsoever, but it can’t be that hard, if I only find out what tools to use?

Hi Im interested in this awesome app, Im trying to get the output to fill a form field but no success.
I also realize that the embed code works in Firefox 3.0.4 but not in IE7

Im very interested in some feedback, thank you for sharing this flash

I got very excited about this - but when I tried it locally I got the same as I get here… it reads the bar code- says LOADING and simply sits there, LOADING. Locally I even changed the address to a local one - no difference, just sits there saying LOADING - in both FF3 and IE7
