from URL in VBScript with ByteScout SWF To Video SDK

from URL in VBScript

We’ve created and updating regularly our sample code library so you may quickly learn from URL and the step-by-step process in VBScript. From URL in VBScript can be implemented with ByteScout SWF To Video SDK. ByteScout SWF To Video SDK is the specialized software development kit for programmers who need to add SWF (Flash Macromedia) to video conversion into their app. Supports WMV and AVI video output with sound as can take input flash movies with variables, actionscripts, dynamic files as input. You can control output video size, framerate, video and audio quality.

You will save a lot of time on writing and testing code as you may just take the code below and use it in your application. Follow the instruction from the scratch to work and copy and paste code for VBScript into your editor. Further enhancement of the code will make it more vigorous.

Trial version can be downloaded from our website. Source code samples for VBScript and documentation are included.

      ' x64 IMPORTANT NOTE: set CPU to x86 to build in x86 mode. WHY? Because flash is not supported on x64 platform currently at all

' Create an instance of SWFToVideo ActiveX object
Set converter = CreateObject("BytescoutSWFToVideo.SWFToVideo")

' Set debug log
'converter.SetLogFile "log.txt"

' Register SWFToVideo
converter.RegistrationName = "demo"
converter.RegistrationKey = "demo"

' Set input SWF file
converter.InputSWFFileName = "https://bytescout.com/demo/swfscout_VideoSample.swf"
	
' you may calculate output video duration using information about the the source swf movie
' WARNING #1: this method to calculate the output video duration is not working for movies with dynamic scenes 
' and interactive scripts as in these movies it is not possible to calculate the precise duration of the movie 
' WARNING #2: you should set the input swf or flv filename (or url) before this calculation

' So the movie duration is calculated as the following:
' as swf frame count (number of frames in the swf) / movieFPS (frames per second defined in swf)
' and then multiplied by 1000 (as we are setting the .ConverstionTimeout in milliseconds)
' as the following (uncomment if you want to set the length of the output video to the same as the original swf)
' or as the following source code (uncomment to enable):

' converter.ConversionTimeout = 1000 * (converter.FrameCount / converter.MovieFPS)



' Set output WMV or AVI video file
converter.OutputVideoFileName = "result.wmv"

' Set output movie dimensions
converter.OutputWidth = 640
converter.OutputHeight = 480

' Run conversion
converter.RunAndWait

' Open result in default media player
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.Run "result.wmv", 1, false
Set shell = Nothing

Set converter = Nothing
