ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Netstream Play/Pause - Show A Couple Of Short Animations?
Feb 20, 2009
I'm using netstream to show a video in .flv.Over this video I need to show a couple of short animations, and when they play, I need to paus the long video so it doesn't plays in advance in the background.I've got this script to pause the movie:
Code:
btnPlay.onRelease = function () {
ns.pause();
}
But how do I apply it so that when the timeline hits a certain frame, it calls it. I mean, the user can't really know when to stop to see the animations, so it has to be done at a specific time.
I've got a play/pause movie on my timeline to control an FLV via NetStream. The idea is to switch from a play symbol to a pause symbol, but it's not working.[code]Clicking on the clip will start and stop the flv just fine, but the symbol switch doesn't happen. When I take out the ns code, just to check and see if the switch will actually work, there's no problem.What am I doing wrong? How can I get my clip to change from a play to a pause symbol?
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 have a simple slide show with a forward & backward button, as well as a play & pause button.
The play/pause buttons toggle visability with this code (on its own actionscript layer)[code]...
However, this didn't work - at least not the way I wanted. This code causes the pause button to show up when you cycle through the images and get back to frame one - somehow forcing the net stream to play again.
tell by my code why that would happen? I'd at least like to know how to show the pause button whilst it's playing and vice-versa for the play button.

I think it's in the code, but I can't see it.
I'm making a small video players in AS3, and I've found that after calling NetStream.pause() or NetStream.togglePause(), no status messages are being fired any more.If I click the "pause" button while the video is buffering, I never get the Buffer.Full message.Here is some code:
_connection = new NetConnection(); _connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler); _connection.connect(null);[code].....
I am working on an app that will take a snapshot of an rtmp stream of an archived video, save it to a file, and ExternalInterface the file name to the hosting page to javascript it up for display.
I actually have all pieces working great. The only time an error is thrown is when I pause the video, seek to somewhere, and then try to take a snapshot. Then there is a runtime error of: SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: mySwf.swf cannot access rtmp://myFlashServer/myApp. No policy files granted access.I've seen post after post of suggestions and have tried them, but without success.
I have the crossdomain.xml and my FlashMediaServer security setup fine (it is actually working, except for this one glitch). It just seems to be the pause-then-seek-then-BitMapData.draw() combination which is creating issues.
Another weird thing: after the error is thrown, if I resume the stream and take a snapshot, it works flawlessly again.
I've managed to get a slide show up and running using xml, actionscript and the wonders of the internet but I can't work out how to add a pause and a play button.
fscommand("fullscreen", "true"); fscommand("allowscale", "false"); var randomNum = 0; var randomNumLast = 0;
I want only show a segment for that video, for example I want to start from minute 15 until minute 16, Only shows a minute for that video, but, I want to see that video as a complete short video of 1 minute duration.
I have a long video of 50 minutes duration..I want only show a segment for that video, for example I want to start from minute 15 until minute 16, Only shows a minute for that video, but, I want to see that video as a complete short video of 1 minute duration.How can I make this goal?
I am trying to play a couple of movie clips one after the other one. In other words, I would like movie clip A to run and execute the AS attached, then I would like movie clip B to run and execute the AS attached to it.
I want to create a simple clip that will have a button to preload and play an mp3, possibly with a really simple preload bar, but I'd really like the mp3 to play while it's loading,
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 have this (becoming-abnoxious) client, for which i make a video player (using the NetStream class), who came out today requesting that instead of starting to load the video only when the user clicks the 'play button, he want the video to begin downloading as the player loads (before the user clicks the 'play' button), but only the first 10 minutes of video (most of his videos are long, even up to an hour), and after that the loading will pause, and will resume (from the same point of course) after 3:30 minutes if the user doesn't click the 'play' button in the meanwhile.
i told him no-can-do: i can pause the download after (give-or-take) 10 minutes of video were downloaded, but once the downloading resumes it will start from squqre-one (using what has downloaded to the browser's cache). his reply for that was 'i don't take no for an answer, find a way'.before i give him the 'no-can-do' again, is there anybody who think that my client request is doable?
I have a video file FLV which is dynamically loaded using AS NetStream function.Now I want to stop the buffering of the video after a certain amount of bytes are being loaded. For example, the FLV size is 10mb and I want to PAUSE the buffer after the 2mb of bytes are loaded. During the PAUSE of the buffer, the connection should be ON and I should be able to play the video.Is there any way we can PAUSE the buffer and after certain amount of time, we again can START the buffering process? Say it should again start buffering after 2 minutes.
I have a timeline of 30 frames, each it's own mc (page01_mc, etc.). In each mc I show a picture or two and hear narration.I have a first, prev and next nav on the main timeline. I need to add a play/pause btn that will pause both pictures and sound. I assume I do that in each mc, but do not know where to find the code.Here is what is in each mc now:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound(); mySound.load(new URLRequest("english/Intro01.mp3")); mySound.play()
i have a movieclip within a movieclip within a movieclip... i want to simply tell flash to play that movieclip once i click on it.. however, i get an error saying "1120: Access of undefined property tl_character" when i try to publish the file..[code]i know there might be a solution by using a custom class for "police1" but i'd like to know how i could play that movieclip using a function thats written on the main timeline..
I followed lee's tutorial to create my own video player and I'm using AS3 for that. The problem is that for some reason, pause() doesn't work, it will pause the first time I clicked it, but it wouldn't go back and play again. I looked through AS3 books and online, everything tells me that pause() should be able to pause and resume. Another thing is that if I try to use pause(true), an error would appear and tell me that the argument should be no more than zero, and I'm like "why?????" so here's my code, it is basically based on lee's code but in AS3...
I got a bunch of live stream from FMLE, say: "FMLE_channel1", "FMLE_channel2", "FMLE_channel3". And then on the server side, I created several corresponding republished stream called "channel1", "channel2", "channel3".
On periodical basis, we call Stream.get("channel1").play("FMLE_channel1", -1, 10, true) every 10 seconds. Similar things were done on the second channel & third channel.Soon after the above Stream.get("channel1").play() call, I should get the following events in sequence:info :NetStream.Unpublish.Successinfo :NetStream.Publish.Startinfo :NetStream.Play.Resetinfo :NetStream.Play.Start In the above case all are happy. Clients can view channel1, channel2, channel3 well.But then after a while, one of the three channels, in most case it would be channel1, will not be viewable.
With the server trace info, I found that after the Stream.get("channel1").play() call, only the following two events exists:
info :NetStream.Unpublish.Successinfo :NetStream.Publish.Starti.e. I was missing the play.reset and play.start event.I further checked and confirmed that the FMLE was publishing all three channels fine to the server. I was able to view the "FMLE_channel1" from flash clients, but not the republished "channel1". the version is FMS 3.5.0.
I use NetStream to play media file. It includes pause, resume functions. When running in the flash player, there isn't any problem. However, when embedding this swf file in web page, there is following problem. - If clicking [pause] button and then (in short period) clicking [resume] button to continue playing, no problem. But, if clicking [resume] button after longer period (bigger than playing file's time), the swf file will start playing at the next media file in the list, NOT at the time that was paused.
I would like to send the source code link: [URL]
i can't test this article [URL] when I pause netstream. it clear buffer. when I resume it rebuffer
I have made a nested animation within a movie clip, but it doesn't show up frame-by-frame in the timeline is there a way to make it appear in the timeline?
I need to take a photo of my screen with each image on it for a stop motion animation project for school I tried exporting a series of still images as a workaround, but for some reason the data from the nested animation also fails to show up in any kind of movie export.
I have a "movie player" that plays flv files using the code below (videoToPlay is the name of the file to play and is just a string). I want to use the same setup to play an mp3 file also.I tried using mySound = new Sound(); and then mySound.attachNetStream(ns);, but it gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method attachNetStream through a reference with static type flash.media:Sound.
1) What is the recommended/best practice method for loading videos (flv, f4v, mp4, etc.) from a play list. Some of the files might be on the local file system, some might be on a streaming server and uses rtmp.
2) Does the VideoPlayer.play internally use NetStream/NetConnection objects? I could get the files to play using both these methods - not sure if one is better than the other. I didn't see any references about streaming in the VideoPlayer.play method - but it does work with rtmp URLs!
3) For a long running standalone application, how do I make sure the VideoPlayer/NetStream objects are properly released/garbage collected? Right now I am closing the netstream/netconnection after playing every file - mainly because I do not know which server/file system the next video is being loaded from.
I have several products I want to animate with graphics and text individualy then stack them on a time line for output with play and pause buttons. Is there a tutorial somwhere that shows you how to do this? and how do I stop the entire animation on a frame, I don't understand "not_set_yet"
I used NetStream.play("invalid-live-stream-url") to play an invalid live stream. The other arguments are using default, e.g. start = -2, len = -1.
The menu says that when we use the default "start" and "len" to call "NetStream.play", "Plays the live stream until it is no longer available. If a live stream of the specified name is not found, Flash Player plays a recorded stream until it ends."
However, I do not have a recorded stream on the server that has the same name as the live stream, and I did not get the expected "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" error.
I'm using actionscript 2, I've got a preloader working, but now I'm struggling to make an alpha animation play immediately after the preloader. My attempts have ended up with the animation playing during the preloader.
