ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Adding Weblinks To Flv Video?
Nov 19, 2009
I need to add interactivity to an .flv video - here's what i need and what I'm guessing I should do, but don't know how as yet:
> I need to add mouse 'hotspots' to items in a video when the items appear. The hotspots would include external weblinks >> My guess is that I could add cuepoints to the flv which dynamically load mc's from the library - the mc's would need to be invisible until mouseover wherein they animate/reveal a list of links.
The mc mouseover is bog standard stuff, but I just don't know how to integrate this into an flv - if indeed this is the correct way to go about doing this ..

I want to use an flv, not embed video into the fl, as I need to utilise flv streaming.The mc mouseover would be bog standard stuff, but I just don't know how to call mc's from the library in an flv.
mthing similar to this, but am also doing the same kind of project to what I have posted in AS2. The problem is, I cannot get weblinks to open within a movieclip (anything deeper than root) from a dynamic text field fed by xml. The mouse howevers over and turns into a hand as if it's read that it's an <a> tag, but it just doesnt open a new window. And if I put that same code on the main stage at root and the clickable item there, it works. I can't find anything about it anywhere. Here is my code:
how to get hyperlinks that points to a web-page to open new window on the top of the main screen (in FullSceen mode, that works of course if I´m in normal mode). Now if I go to fullscreen mode and click the hyperlink, page opens to new window but that window lies behind the main window. User have to know that and dig it up by using alt+tab etc method...
I have a video player that plays videos loaded via XML and selected using a combbox. I just got the play and pause buttons to work. What I'm attempting to do now is be able to hit next or previous buttons and select the next or pevious video from the XML file, and update the displayed/selected file in the combobox, my thought was to somehow set the previous/next buttons to directly manipulate the combobox, but nothing I've tried so far has worked.
ActionScript Code: import fl.data.DataProvider; var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); nc.connect(null);
create a watermark that fades into my videos 20 or so seconds in, then fades out after another 10 seconds.
Here's what I've done so far in Flash CS4:
- Import Video
- Pointed the "player" to an external URL for the video.
- Selected a generic Skin
The video plays well, all is in order.
Now, to add a watermark to the player. I figured you'd simply import the new animated SWF file, then write some Actions to tell it when to fade in and fade out. Not that I know how to do that at all .
I'd even be up for other options, if this simply won't work I've thought of pushing all my videos through a third-party program to brand the video with an animated watermark, is there such a thing?
I need to add a control bar (play, pause, progress bar) to a SWF video in Dreamweaver. It can be very simple, the look and feel is not that important, it just needs to be functional. The only way I can figure out to add one is to import a FLV file into Dreamweaver instead. The problem with this is that I can't figure out how to export a FLV file directly from Flash CS3, and using a converter program to create a FLV file nullifys the links in the menu at the end of the video. Any help would be great! This seems like it should be really simple to accomplish, but I have been pulling my hair out over it all day now.
I've searcehd but haven't found anything similar. I am trying to add animation to an educational video that I produced. I am new to Flash but already love it - have used for several presentations at work with my higher students and it's been really, really effective so far.
I have done two things: Imported an .flv of the video that I am trying to add animation to but only see the first and last shots in my timeline. How can I add text and tweens throughout the movie using flash? Or can't I?
I created 5 swfs (simple, short animations) The swfs are named "movie1," "movie2," and so on. I want to import all 5 movie clips and thread them together so that they play one after the other inside the timeline of a new Flash Document. I am hoping to have "movie 1" play, stop, have "movie 2" play, stop and so on until the 5th "movie plays then stops (no looping necessary). It will be played on a Mac laptop and not online.
I've been fiddling with timeline actions for 2 days and can't figure how to lead one movie to the other. I've been using Action Script 2 so far. What I've done is create 5 layers (1 for each clip)
"movie1" is on layer 1, frame 1 "movie2" is on layer 2, frame 2 "movie3" is on layer 3, frame 3 "movie4" is on layer 4, frame 4 "movie5" is on layer 5, frame 5
Im adding videos to my stage with AS3 and was wondering if it is possible to then add the standard flashh video controls to the video with script..[code]
I made an xml video playlist with thumbs and video description within a scrollbar. Now I want to add 2 titles. one for my work as an editor and one for my work as a director. The first one will be on top of the list, the second one will be after the last video as an editor. There won't be any interactivity with those titles, it's just text.
Here's my code : var thumb_width:Number; var thumb_height:Number; var thumbs_x:Number; var thumbs_y:Number; var video_x:Number; [Code] .....
I have just created a website in Flash MX and I would like to have a youtube video on the home page. I see in youtube where it gives the embed code for html sites, but what do I put in flash and what is the action script?
With some great tutorials on the web, I have created an interactive cube in PV3d with a movieAssetMaterial for one the faces. I would like to add a fully functional video player to this face. I have code for an AS3 video player that I placed in the main fla on the movie clip that acts as the material. The video streams in fine, but the interface does not work. I'm wondering if this is a scope issue, a problem with adding events to a movie asset material, or some other problem. The video player code is attached. I have the video player code inside the movieAssetMaterial.
Get away from using flashs skin and use my own play and stop buttons progress bar.Be able to use an autoplay within the script and not use the parameters autoplay. using which is working fine. I just want to be able to have more control by being able to write code for the above activities.
I've created a video in Premiere Pro, and I'd like to add hyperlinks to a couple of words that I added as Titles in Premiere Pro (I'm asking on this forum because I saw a similar question referred this way).In order to add functional hyperlinks, I created a couple of swfs in the Flash CS4 IDE which would serve as invisible buttons (though used movieclips) that link to the respective websites via NavigateToURL. After checking to make sure things were working with the swfs, I dragged them into my premiere pro project panel and added them to the timeline to coincide with when I needed the links to be available.I then exported the flv from Premiere Pro with Adobe Media encoder.
The flash site I'm building uses the Gaia framework, so I added the flv file as an asset to one of my Gaia pages, and everything loads up normally - the video plays and I can see the highlighted areas I'd created to serve as clickable links. The links within the video, however, don't work, and I wasn't sure if this was a Gaia issue or if there's some other step (or steps) I need to take to make this work.(If there's a different way to get working, clickable links into a Premiere Pro video, I'm open to that as well).
I've got a photo gallery that I'm working on it loads its content from an xml file... I would like to be able to display and play flv videos as well but I'm unsure what changes I will have to make. If I only change the xml I get the error " Loaded file is an unknown type."
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 am relatively new to Flash CS3. I need to create a video file add a skin and put a voice over or background music. I have done all of it but I have a problem with the skin. On the skin there is a volume button for the video. How can I mute or control the volume of the video? Just like in youtube for example. You can turn it up or down. What is the code for it? Because when I click on the button to mute ir or turn it down it doesn't do anything to the volume. I had a separate video and a song but I went to Windows Movie Maker and associated the song with the video so now it is a whole: video with a song. So basically I just want to know what I need to do in order to control the volume of the video.
I've got an application (video player) that has many different interactive pieces spread throughout a handful of different classes throughout the display tree hierarchy (all children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren/etc of the same View class). I'm trying to add a universal tooltip to use throughout [URL]. Basically, the primary problems I want to solve are: -Ideally called from or channels through a single place (for ease of updating etc).Must show above all other display objects (for instance, a tooltip that shows for a player controls button shouldn't be obscured by a menu display object that might be above it). -Add the object once in a container/holder that's added above all the other View objects.Dispatch a custom event for every ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT event that needs to show/hide the tool tip.In my main (logic) class, listen for the event, and then call the method in the view class that shows/hides the tooltip.
How to add a dynamic text field to display the time elapsed and time remaining to play. I have been checking out the Adobe Live Doc but cannot search for what I need. Below is the code I have already that just shows the video and its controls.
Actionscript Code: //the below script it on a button on click actionvideoholder.vidPlayer.source = "videos/Introducing our team.flv"//this code is in the same frame as my FLV holder called 'vidPlayer'import fl.video.*;// vidPlayer is the FLV holder//CustomVideoControls is the mc where the play, pause, mute buttons arevidPlayer.playPauseButton = customVideoControls.playpause;vidPlayer.seekBar = customVideoControls.seekvideo;vidPlayer.muteButton = customVideoControls.mutevideo;vidPlayer.fullScreenButton = customVideoControls.fullScreenButton;
I've been constructing a flash video player from scratch using tutorials online, and I cannot figure out how to add a timecode (elapsed time/total time) or a way to have a pre-roll video. I'm using flash cs4 and AS3.
I have a video player that doesn't have "seek from unloaded time" functionality. I want to add it now. I simply load video like this; stream.play("vidurl.flv"); (pseudo streaming) Server side is ready. I can call videos like videourl.flv?start=xxx but cant play them in player cuz video comes without metadata To sum up: 1. stream.play("vidurl.flv"); works, video plays 2. user clicks to seek bar. on unloaded part. I get the position and convert it to seconds stream.play("vidurl.flv?start=10"); Doesn't work! No metadata what I should do after?
I am new to flashCS4 and done 2 of lee's tutorial's and have 2 questions. 1) how/where do I add a preloader to file when each vid is clicked on ? 2) how do I set a mc to be seen as a button in browser when you mouse over it ? VideoGallery: [URL]
I've been trying for hours to add the elapsed time to a dynamic text field using a video player. The Flash website has code similar to this: Select all//Get playhead time var listenerObject:Object = new Object(); listenerObject.playheadUpdate = function(eventObject:Object):Void { trace(ns.state + ": playhead time is: " + eventObject.playheadTime); controls.elapsed = Math.round(eventObject.playheadTime); }; ns.addEventListener("playheadUpdate", listenerObject);
But that was designed for an FLVPlayback component and therefore does not work.
I'm working on adding a small preview video player to a flash project I'm creating. I've successfully created an actionscript 3-based video player before, so my code is pretty much adapted from that. However, though the code executes successfully (seemingly), I can't see the video anywhere.
I'm looking for a way to extend the functionality of the HTMLEditor control that the Ajax Control Toolkit supplies for ASP.net. I would like to add video and flash functionality to the editor (buttons, allowed tags, etc).
To my knowledge, this is rather easy: plop in an embed tag with the correct parameters and it just works; I have videos running in the preview window of the editor.
Unfortunately, the tag is stripped away when saving the HTML-code and updating it in the database.
Hence, I would like to ask if there is any way of adding this functionality apart from manually adding the changes in the source control repository of the Ajax Control Toolkit and recompiling it.
I've been doing a number of pretty basic flash banner ads at the typical advertising size (728x90, 300x250, etc.) but the client wants to throw in some video for this upcoming batch. I've already been given the .flv movie file. It's about a minute long at 3 mb, but I'm only going to use about 4 seconds of it. My question is what is the routine/typical route to take when adding video to banners but also keeping under the file size limitations (around 37k)? I did some brief research and read about progressive downloading but wasn't sure what the typical direction was when delivering files like this to the vendors.
I am new to as3 and am having an issue transferring a Flash Video Gallery into a seperate flash file.Basically I want to add this video player file into a separate flash site I am making but don't know how with as3.I copy all the library assets from the video gallery FLA into the other movie, put the movieclips in the right location and upload all the relevant actionscript files, xml data linked with the original video player file but nothing still shows up when tested live.
In Flash CS4, if I create a new AS3 file and use File > Import > Import Video to bring in an mp4 video it works great. However, if I create a new scene and import the video into that, I instantly get this error at runtime:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/__setProp___id0__Scene2_Layer1_0() at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Is this normal behaviour? I don't get this error using AS2. How can I add the FLVPlayback object to a different scene in AS3 without explosions?
