You've probably all seen a YouTube video somewhere on the web. I'm interested in how they built their Flash player's feature that only loads the video's preview image when the video is in the view of the browser.For example, when there are multiple videos on a page, the videos below "the fold" will only load their preview when scrolled into view.
View 14 RepliesIt seems to me that all I need is to get my youtube chromeless player that I've loaded in the place I want it to be. Preview As you can see it's not loaded into my MovieClip! Though it IS loaded, it plays, it's the right size! Just not in the right position. I'm hoping one of you can spot me here and be my life saver. Been stuck here and sitting on this code for a couple of days, REALLY WANT TO MOVE ON! Here's my code (AS3)

I have been hunting for quite some time now and I can not find anyone that knows how to create a preview image for an FLV. I.E. youtube, they show you a part of the clip you are about to watch and not the first frame.

View 1 RepliesI would like to know how you can preview different images from a FileReferenceList Normally with file reference you can do the following:
img.source = fileReference.data;I want to do this with more than one image and with using filereferencelist, I do the following:
var fileReference:FileReference;
var fileReferenceList:FileReferenceList = FileReferenceList(event.target);
var fileList:Array = fileReferenceList.fileList

I have some 3rd party Flash SWFs on my site that are up to 100KB in size. e.g. the Flash video player "JWPlayer" SWF is 98KB.
That's fine for people with Broadband, but not so good for the slow dial up bandwidth visitors. e.g at 40 kbits/s, we're talking 20 seconds to download.
The problem is that on slow connections, all the visitors are seeing is a static white screen, and so may close the page thinking it's dead. If I right click the area where the SWF is to go, an Adobe Flash Player Object is occupying the space, but the 3rd party SWF has not finished loading in yet.
I would like the website visitors to see a loading spinner GIF or something similar.
Unfortunately, none of the 3rd party SWFs have "preloader" element. And they are not open source, so I cannot add a preloader to them.
Is there any way to display a loading image, prefereably a GIF animation, while the SWF is loading?
For example, is there any way to force the Adobe Flash Player to show an image while it is loading in the SWF?
I don't have any Flash coding skills, so a solution that doesn't include creating an extra SWF or a SWF within a SWF would, probably isn't best for me, but might be worth adding to the post in case other people have a similar problem.
I'm having some trouble with getURL (I think). It works fine when I preview with Flash's html preview but it's not working on my server. It's pretty simple. [URL].selected1 is a user-defined variable pointing to a page: ie, when the user selects variable page1 the page to be opened is [URL]. Like I said, it works with Flash's preview, but not on my server(no 404 or any response). Does there seem to be a problem with my code or might I be overlooking a server error? Here's my code:

I can't seem to wrap my head around this image loading problem with my actionscript 3.0 project. I suspect it has something to do with how I have the crossDomain.xml set up. The problem is that I can load youtube movie thumbnail images from [URL] into flash and display them completely fine when testing/running the SWF in a stand alone (local) player. But when I upload the SWF and test it through the web I receive Sandbox Errors and Security Violations. Here is my crossDomain.xml (stored on the root of the server):

I have a AS3 project that should loads external movies from Youtube.Is that an way to load youtube videos from the embed url?
View 4 RepliesI load a youTube video onto my video_Holder movie instance and it works fine.video_Holder.loadMovie("http:url].....);
Then I remove it by loading a blank movie.video_Holder.loadMovie("");
The youTube link I am using in this sample is not real.
The problem is that when I load the blank movie to get rid of the YouTube video that is loaded in my video_Holder, the audio still continues to play????Also if I load the same youTube video or others into the video_Holder, the play does not work properly and it goes berzerk,How do I fix this? Is my method incorrect when loading youTube videos?
I am creating an application that loads Youtube videos and manipulates the image.For that I'm using a Loader object for loading and a BitmapData object to deform.
On my local pc it works fine.I do get a few security domain errors but that doesn't interfere with the application.When I load it to the web the video plays but I get this error with the BitmapData Object:SecurityError: Error #2121: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw.
I mean youtube or any other streaming video site, but I've seen it on Youtube. There are times that the loaded bar shows that more than enough video stream has been loaded so the player could play it but it suddenly pauses and shows the loading icon?

View 5 RepliesI wanted to know if this is possible. On my site I want to play youtube videos from my account from youtube. Basically, there will be an empty text box. Users will type in some text. Click on a button to search and play a random video based off tags associated with a video from my youtube account with the words from the text box? And if they did the same search it wouldn't play the same video again?
View 0 RepliesExplaination: MX 04' Pro Thumbnail Nav. loading images with XML Loader resizes and displays images when users click on Nav. reading XML Problem: Users click Thumbnail Nav. first image gets loaded and loader resizes to image. However the next choice by user on thumbnail click, the second image doesnt get resized in the loader. It goes beyond holder. Here is my code for Thumbnail and Loader:
[Code]....
Now the first image loads fine and the loader sizes to file from XML. However, when users click second choice from Thumbail the loader doesnt resize to new image size. It only gets resized on the first selction or if users click the next or prev. buttons then the images fade correctly but nothing fades back in. Now if they do hit next or prev and then hit a thumbnail option it loads and resizes.
im loading multiple images but how do I make sure the program will start once all images have dispatched a complete event. like make a universal loader for all the other "small loaders" if you understand.
View 1 RepliesI need to load dynamically a few images (4-6) so that by clicking on particular image user would invoke particular action. Embedding images solves the problem but at the expense of file size. If I load them dynamically, they lose their ID.

I have typical situation where big loop is loading lots of images and its done asynchronous which make browser to frees during loading and I want to make it synchronous but having big trouble doing it. I found this class synchronous loader and it work great but you cant add mouse event listener to loader. Here is sample code:

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.

View 1 RepliesI want to create a menusystem that bases only on mouse over functions. Tough there is one thing that might become quite frustrating for the user and that is small by mistake mouseovers that brings them to another page.So what I want to create is buttons with a delay of lets say 200ms. 200ms that the user has to have her or his mouse over the button to activate it.But I have run into some problems, and after a lot of googling the only result I got is menu-buttons that are activated directly on mouse over, but does not act out the manuver until the delay is over.So the user could practicly have his mouse in china when the button is activated. Which is not the result I want.I want a button that is activated after that the mouse has spent 200ms on the button.This is the failed direct reaction Actionscript 2.0 of the button I got at the moment.

on (rollOver) {
timer = setInterval(goto, 200);

I am working on some schematic animations and need to implement some button driven navigation with a slight difference from the norm that I can't figure out how to do...
I'd like to start playing a movieclip which would then pause halfway through. The user would then be able to click one of a selection of buttons which would trigger the movie clip to start playing again and then load the next movie clip based on the button pressed. This means I could show the intro of the animation and then following a button press, show the outro before moving to the next selected clip.
I have a timeline instanced movieclip which i'm calling a method on its parents movieclip constructorproblem is that even though the object already exists, its methods are "undefined", i have put some traces in, and noticed the child constructor is calling after its parent constructor..
