ActionScript 1/2 :: Possible To Embedding A Video?
May 20, 2009
I have an empty movie clip in which an external video loads when the user clicks a button.now i need to add a second one, but this video lives online on another site, so all i have for this video is a link and the embed code (like youtube), so how can i have it display in an empty movie clip placeholder?again since I dont have the actual movie clip itself as is the case with the first one, I dont know how to go about this.. all i have is this:
Hey there. I'm very new to Flash CS3. I understand the basic concept of the timeline. I'm not a programmer and I just want to create a FLASH movie that has video with audio and some text animation that I can add to my website. I have successfully created some very simple flash movies without video. My problem is that when I embed an AVI file the audio quality degrades so much that it's unusable. The full length of the viedo is about 9 minutes. It was professionally shot in studio and when I play the AVI file it is fine. I tried chunking up the video into 3 minute segments but that still didn't fix the audio quality. I then separated the audio from the video in Pinnacle Studio and then embedded the video into the timeline and added the audio, and now I can't sync up the audio with the video.
I am trying to insert a flash video into an html page using dreamweaver 8. The problem is that my .flv file is on a shared network drive (We will call this Drive V). The other files (.html and 2 .swf files created by dreamweaver) are on our intranet server (which in on a different network drive, which we will call Drive I). We don't want to put the .flv file on our intranet server (Drive I) because it would create bandwith problems. When I do it this way I can't see the video. Is there another way of doing this other than using dreamweaver?
On button clicks , I have used movie clip with top registration as base container [ gpageContainer_mc] and i have added and deleted pages to it using similar code for all buttons .
These pages are also movie clips with top left registration[gpage4].
press_review -> is the sub menu button var gp1:gpage1=new gpage1; menu_cont.media_menu.press_review.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,me diaclik3);function mediaclik3(event:MouseEvent ):void { menu_cont.gpageContainer_mc.removeChildAt(1); menu_cont.gpageContainer_mc.addChild(gp1);}
This works perfectly fine for all page navigations .But, the audio persists when I navigate from a page which has video embedded in it .I am able to see the new page but still I hear the audio in the background .I have used file -> import video option to embed video on my page . I didnot add any action scripting for playing the video as these had come when I imported video file and choosing skin for it .
I have created a SWF file using Flash that loads an FLV file on my local development machine.When publishing the SWF file and generating the appropriate HTML, I can successfully load the video by opening the generated HTML page that Flash creates.However, when placing the generated HTML code in my View,the Flash is loading, but the video is not playing.I think it's a reference error to the location of the FLV file, but I've tried every combination I can think of.I placed the SWF and FLV in the corresponding View folder where I want the video to load, but to no avail.
I am trying to embed a video file into my flash project and I want to to play till the end and jump to a different frame in the timeline. I tried to emport the video into flash and it says that the file is not supported. Can I not do it or do I need to convert the mpeg file into some sort of fla file?
if I set up the facility for people to embed video content on their site via their CMS (using TinyMCE editor), is there any reliable cross platform video format that should be used? From what I can find online, the only reliable way to embed and stream video is using FLV. Other formats seem to have caveats, e.g codecs required or quicktime updates required. Ideally I'd like to avoid this type of situation. If it is the case that FLV is the preferred option, then that involves asking people to encode their video content to FLV before uploading, so there is an extra step required here (unless I can set up the encoding in the back end, but this might take a while to process depending on the size of the video).
I have been trying to embed a video from youtube into an SWF file. I have been looking at the various posts here and I found this actionscript code: System.security.allowDomain("YOUTUBE DOMAIN would go here"); System.security.loadPolicyFile("YOUTUBEDOMAIN would go here/crossdomain.xml"); this.createEmptyMovieClip("video_mc", 10000); this.video_mc.loadMovie ("I had to remove this link so I could post it normally would have the youtube link to the video file");
I created a movie instance on my stage and called it video_mc and pasted the code into a frame. When I press ctrl and enter to test the flash document I get my page as expected and the youtube video appears,however I get the following message: '*** Security Sandbox Violation *** Connection to null halted - not permitted 'I had to remove this link so I could post this on this forum -my post count is less than 50- normally would have the youtube link to the video file -- Remote SWFs may not access local files.'
how to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file. Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website www.aye-aye-media.com under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them
No matter whether you embed a flash video using Flash Satay, swfobject, or some other method, there are a number of parameters that can be passed to the embedded video. I'd like this to be a community wiki for the following questions: What parameters can be used to embed a flash video? How can the parameters be accessed via ActionScript?
I'm having problems with embedding a video into my flash file. The visual is fine, but how do I get the audio to play? The video is .mov file right now.
I have Background layer, Bkg_Image layer & Video layer. I have embeded the flv movie on Video layer. Though on stage it shows all the layers, but when I test the movie it shows only Background layer & Video layer. I can't see the Bkg_Image layer.
The Actions layer has external swf loading AS3 which is working fine. Only the problem with Bkg_Image layer which is imprortant for me.
When I test movie, I see as in the following snapshot (Just the Background_Image & Video):
I have successfully embedded the youtube video in my flash code with: //create area to put youtube video on screen this.createEmptyMovieClip("reason1_video", 10000); reason1_video._xscale = 60; reason1_video._yscale = 60; this.reason1_video.loadMovie("[URL]"); However, the video plays with black bars on top and bottom even though it plays without those directly from youtube: [URL]. Even if I take off the scaling, it still has the black bars. How do I get rid of them?
Recently i have visited so many video enriched flash site like this one [URL] Most of them shows video in full size. I downloaded the video using FF plugin. Video framesize is very small compared to the stage size. When i tried to add video and resize the video acoording to the page size , it slows the browser. I tried to embed the flv inside an swf and loaded the swf using normal loader and plyed it.. but the quallity and performance comapred to these site is very low..
I made a video in After Effect and export it to flash as a FLV video.. and write de code to load it into flash.. but I need it to loop.. Here is the code
I'm interested in embedding a video into my swf file automatically. Therefore, I managed embedding an flv file onto the stage, but the problem is that after I give the embedded video an instance name and refer to the instance in a command (f.e change x,y coordinates or change width/height), on execution of the swf, the video stays frozen while the audio plays. If I don't refer to the embedded video instance, the video plays normally, just not placed correctly on the stage.
i have a flash file which on mypsace can't load external files because it blocks it, script file so that the xml data is inside the .swf so it doesn't have to load it externally, im not sure how to do it ,
[URL]you will notice a slight flash of a white box before the preloader starts, i'm trying everything to make it go away! this box seems to be the same size as my embedded swf. the site and preloader are all in one swf. all i need to do is make that white box the same color as the background so it is unnoticeable.here is the code from dreamweaver (you'll notice im sticking in color values wherever i can!)

I have an AS2.0 scripted flash that behaves perfectly when not embedded, but then erratically when embedded. It is a dynamic masked mc with a mouseListener.event so that the magnifying glass follows the mouse as does the invisible mask and you get a magnifying glass effect. All is well outdie the HTML, but once embedded the mouse only erratically attracts the lens mc
is there anyway to place this embed code into my flash file? It's a code to an interactive flash file that I need to embed on a portfolio I'm making. I've tried countless methods of embedding youtube videos in an attemmpt to figure it out but nothing has worked. I'm using Flash CS5 with actionscript 2.Here is the embed code I'm trying to use.
I am trying to embed font in CS3. The chinese text is visible on local desktop but not on remote desktop. Below are the steps that I have followed.
* created a new font in Library and given a linkage name to it. [Tried with Arial UniCode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode]
* Given this font name to textField on stage.
* Registered this new font.
* enumerated the font in an array.Later assigned this font name to Font instance.
* Used FontInstance.fontName as textFormat's font and applied this textformat as defaultTextFormat.
* Assigned chinese hardcoded text.
I tried with textFieldName.embedFont=true, but it didn't. This swf shows chinese text on local desktop. But same swf when viewed from a remote desktop, chinese text appears as squares. Let me know if I am missing any step.
I'm trying to make my own photography website using flash. I have a basic outline/template or what I want it to look like and all of the action script to connect the pictures but I'm missing the main things. The pictures. I have html embedding codes for all of the images and would like to use those somehow instead of just having to manually copy and resize my pictures into the actual flash document (because that takes up a lot of space and makes loading longer, I think).
I have built a few flash sites before and am trying to make one that is slightly more complicated and allows for dynamic, database stored images and text. I have built a dynamic gallery based on an XML feed in AS2 which works fine. I am trying to embed it into another FLA file that contains the remainder of the site (the gallery will be one page of the main site). I have tried a ridiculous number of different methods but just cannot get it to work. The gallery is built in AS2, so I am using an AS2 FLA file for the main template it is to be embedded in. The simplest method i have tried that i think should work is to create a new AS2 fla file, edit the actions on my actions layer to be: Empty.loadMovie("My Gallery.swf");
I have then created a new layer for the content and added a MovieClip to the top left of it, named Empty. I have set the instance name of this movie clip to be Empty. From what I have understood from my reading this is the simplest way to display the external file but for some reason it just will not work. It seems to see My Gallery.swf as when i delete it from the local directory i get an 'Error opening URL 'file:///D|/Websites/My Gallery.swf'' message. This message does not appear when this file exists locally, however it just opens a blank screen with nothing within it. I have been reading numerous tutorials and posts and i'm pretty sure i'm being thick, but for some reason i can't seem to get it to work!
