AS3 :: Flash - Detect NetStream Events With Video Object (not Component)
Jan 11, 2010
I have created a FLV video player using the AS3 flash.media.Video object (not the FLV playback component) and I am trying to listen for meta events and Cue Points embedded in the FLV video but I am not receiving any when I trace the movie. The cue points are not being created dynamically, they are in the FLV video.
Video embed code:
// Initialize net stream
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect (null); // Not using a media server.
[Code]....
Is there anything I am missing have wrong to capture events from my net stream?
Is there something i can check to see if a NetStream Video is a live stream? I have a DVR app, need the player to snap to live point (if it is live - seek(100000) ? or start from the begining if a recorded video - Ideall a boolean if the stream is live or not...
I'm sure this is a simple question, but I just can't crack it. In my video player I want to detect if the current status is playing or paused. But I can't figure out where this info comes from. Is it a property of the ns object?
I'm building a video chat in flash and everything works really well, except for the part where I'm trying to detect if the other user is sending a working video stream. There's a couple of reasons why the other user isn't sending video. -The other user got no camera -The other user got a camera, but the camera is currently being occupied by another application(Skype, Photo Booth, Google Talk, etc.) -The other user got a camera but hasn't allowed the use of his/hers camera. (Other unexpected problems I guess...)
So how do I detect if the stream I receive from the other user is a black stream(because of the reasons above) using the NetStream class? The closest thing I have came up with is by adding a timer that polls the currentFps() function from the stream I receive from the other user. But so far this seems pretty unreliable because I might get currentFps() == 0 and show an error because of this even though I actually got video from the stream in some cases. The reason for this is because I poll the API every 4 seconds for the currentFPS function and let's say at 00:00:04 I get "no video" according to the poll but at 00:00:05 the video kicks in, and therefor I need to wait until the next tick until the error message disappears
This is what my current poll looks like function subscribingStatusPoll(e:TimerEvent):void { if (subscribingStream.currentFPS == 0){ error.text = "No video found from the other user... } else { error.text = ""; }}
This is the only hack I that I can come up with to detect this, but this is unreliable and I actually would prefer a way to instantly detect if the stream I receive got a working video attached to it.
Is it possible to have a same Video object ( and perhaps StageVideo) connected to multiple NetStream's objects? It's videoconferencing app, in which all members can speak ( So multiple audio sources) but should not hear themselves (that's why I don't join them in a single stream).
That's what I tried:
ns = new NetStream(nc); ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler); ns.client = this; ns.play(streamName1); ns2 = new NetStream(nc);
I'm trying to attach a single NetStream Object to two separate Video objects instead of pulling redundant streams from the server. The expected behavior would be for both Video's to display the same content. However, it seems that the last video I attach the NetStream to is the only Video that will display the content.Has anyone else run into this? I'd rather not go to the inelegant steps of using BitmapData to clone pixels if I don't have to.
I have a Net Stream object that I am using to stream video from an Amazon Flash Media Streaming service.The video makes a connection and plays fine but randomly it seems to just freeze and the only way to get it to work again is to re-establish the connection. I have tried to put other videos in that amazon bucket as well and they seem to play fine. this happens when it is in .FLV form and .mp4 format.
I have set the buffer time to be 5 seconds and i watch the output of the buffer to see the % of full it is. when the problem occurs the buffer 5 goes from 100 to 0 and then it throws a Buffer fail error (i'm using OVP framework).I have come to the conclusion that it is either a video encoding problem or perhaps there is a firewall issue that blocks the data from getting through.
Am building a video chat application and i was wondering if there are any native events for the NetStream that fire,that can help in detecting when a remote client starts/stops streaming video over his outgoing stream (NetStream) to which the other client has subscribed over P2P/RTFMP in AS3 ?I maybe able to dispatch custom messages since the two clients are already connected, but i don't want to add the extra overhead.
I got myself an assignment which requires me to add buffering and few other video related functions to a flash file that uses embedded video( on the timeline).
this swf is about 30-40Mb in size and it loads quite a while.
what i need to do is to detect when the video stops playing, runs out of buffer, but i dont know how do i listen to the netstream events if there is no netstream on embedded video.
I am doing video.attachNetstream(ns) in the videoContainer's parent movieclip. How do I access the netstream object of the video inside the container. Basically, I want something like this : video.getNetstream(). Does any equivalent exist?
The task seems easy: I am loading a video via a netsream object (could be FLV or an h264 mp4) and I would need to check if this video has audio available (otherwhise sound control objects should be disabled or become hidden).
I have a video object inside a flash file. I am using NetStream to attach a video to the video object. How can I add cue points to the video ? Should I add a cue point to the video object or to the NetStream ? (I am using Flash 8.)
I have a bunch of potential random strings for recvStream.play("randomstring");then i have a timer checking every 5 seconds on a function that runs an event listener:
then im thinking in a switch statement i can use it to check if it's an active stream or not to either have it search for another stream that should be active or stop the timer and let it play.
// i was thinking this would verify it's playing and then that's it case "NetStream.Play.Start" : trace("ITS PLAYING YOU SHOULD SEE SOMETHING");[code].....
//I also tried NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound instead of NetStream.Buffer.Empty didn't work either.But it really doesn't work like that. Is there something else I should be using instead of NetStream.Buffer.Empty ? Or something else all together? I'm using Actionscript 3 in Flash CS5 and I'm using Cirrus RTMFP
I've been reading about using ExternalInterface to have Flash communicate with JavaScript. I need to detect and call some code in JavaScript when the user starts playing the video and when the video ends. The swfobject is nifty for embedding a player on the page, but I can't figure out how to add these event handlers to it.[code]...
The simplified code: //triggered on MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN private function beginDrag(e:MouseEvent):void { stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, drag); stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag); stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, endDrag); [Code] .....
I am using some click-and-drag techniques within my flash code, and I've noticed some loopholes with the MOUSE_UP event: -It wont be triggered if a context menu is activated while the mouse is still held down. -It wont be triggered if the window is deactivated (alt+tab or similar) What other events can possibly interrupt the MOUSE_UP event and lead to unexpected behavior? Additionally is there a way to generically catch ContextMenuEvent.MENU_SELECT for all context menus without having to manually add/remove the listeners to each context menu?
I am using NetStream, NetConnection and Video object to play an mp4 file which is hosted over a web server using http.This is an AIR application and the relevant code is pasted below:
var url:String = <some http url>; connect_nc = new NetConnection(); connect_nc.connect(null);
I want to detect when my FLV stops and jump to another video. How can I do this? My current code is: The first video plays fine, but it just stops when it is done.
// Setting up my netstream and playing my video var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();nc.connect(null);var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);var vid:Video = new Video(320,
I've some very old Flash applications, which we don't want to rebuild to add a new feature. We simply need to detect when the user has become idle. So, if the Flash application receives no key or mouse events after 3 minutes, we want to track that time till the user interacts with the application again.
We've considered wrapping the applications in newer Flash applications to include the key/mouse event tracking; however, early research shows that some of our apps are so old that they use event systems or AVM's (ActionScript Virtual Machines) that are incompatible. Also, it seems that mouse events on the inner application don't bubble up to the outer application. (I think the direction of event processing is backwards in versions of Flash prior to 8)
Anyhow, the next idea on the table is to see if we can determine when the user stops interacting with the old Flash applications using JavaScript. Can anyone confirm whether or not it is possible to detect, using JavaScript only, when a swf in an HTML document loses focus or key and mouse events stop and start occurring on the swf?
In my application I have a video playing from a NetStream. Every second on timer I update a text label with statistics like stream.info.currentBytesPerSecond. The problem occurs when the NetConnection associated with this NetStream closes: the getter for stream.info throws
I'm using the netstream and video object to play a video in flash. Specifically a mp4 video.
What I'm trying to do is start playing the file from a specific position (Ex. 20seconds).
However with netstreamObject.seek(20) doesn't work unless the stream has been loaded past 20seconds. Is there a way to specify starting to load at 20s? Or any other way of accomplishing this?
Im a beginner at flash video, and have been using the built in FLV component which I can apply actionscript fades to easily. However I don't seem to be able to use them when I use the better method... NetStream. Here is an example fade:
using flash8 and i have a netstream object streaming progressive video... how do i detect the flv is complete? using buffer.flush doesnt work how i need as it flushes the buffer slightly before the video is finished.
The stop button plays as expected. The play/pause button plays as expected. The issue is when you press pause which will cause the play button to appear, then press stop. the video automatically plays and it shouldn't. I have bolded the control button script for convenience.
I have 3D videos encoded with each eye's content side-by-side on each frame. What I want to do is take the left-half and over-lay it on the right-half. (I'll then change with the colors and the overlaying so that someone with blue-cyan 3D glasses can view the video).
I tried to attach a single NetStream to two video objects and offset them, but that only let the stream play on one object.
I notice that, when I pause the video, the event "NetStream.Buffer.Flush" is triggered. And according to the language reference: "Data has finished streaming, and the remaining buffer will be emptied.", I have to re-buffer it, right? However, also according to the reference, it shouldn't stop buffering:
Starting with Flash Player 9.0.115.0, Flash Player no longer clears the buffer when NetStream.pause() is called. This behavior is called "smart pause". Before Flash Player 9.0.115.0, Flash Player waited for the buffer to fill up before resuming playback, which often caused a delay.
I'm using Flash Professional to do the debugging, and the traced version number is: MAC 10,0,22,91, and it appears for both FMS4 and red5.
I'm taking my first stab at writing a custom flex 4 component by extending the UIComponent class. Unfortunately, I cannot get the component to respond to any sort of mouse events.I've tried setting mouseEnabled to true is the component, as well as setting mouseChildren to true in the parent (the stage object). It seems whatever I do, my click events can be detected from the stage, but not with the component.Here is my component class:
package components { import mx.core.UIComponent; public class DrawCanvas extends UIComponent {
How many instances of Video, NetStream and NetConnection would be needed for multiple videos? Not sure that's the right question but essentially here's the objective:
Currently, I'm working on an interactive product tour, parts of which are to consist of short video clips, each covering a feature. While only one such clip will be playing at any given time, I'd like put them all at the application's fingertips as part of the initial preloading process before launching into it. The idea is to provide a seamless instant-play user experience without hitting the breaks before individual segments.
I need a way to disable the mouse over events for a combo box flash component as it is sitting inside a movieclip (A) on the stage, when I mouse over the movie clip I add a glow to a different mc (B) in the movie. Problem is is that the combo box is preventing the mouse over even in A to occur so B is not 'lighting up'.None of this works as it still appears to register a MouseOver event:
Code: Select allmyComboBox.focusEnabled = false; myComboBox.textField.focusEnabled = false; myComboBox.dropdown.focusEnabled = false;'s built in ones?
