Is it possible to edit the text of an embedded video in Flash? What I mean to say I have embedded one video with Flash video encoder into my fla and the video has some text which now I want to edit as per my choice.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]
We are planning to create a website which involves uploading video. The issue is this video must be edited (cropped, resized and shortened) by the uploaded. Does anyone know of a solution/set of apis, where this can be accomplished? I had a look at the YouTube apis but there are no editing or uploading methods that I could find.

View 5 Replies1. The task at hand that the client needs is to be able to import about 2 min. of flash video.2. Once the video is playing in the flv the client would like the user to be able to click and edit button.3. Edit button than takes you to a screen where the start point and end points are shown. The start and end can only be 30 sec.4. Once you locate the start of your video you can drag the end point where you want it to end.5. Than you click save and the video player will now only show the 30 sec clip you designated.
View 4 RepliesI am entirely new into flash. Never ever written even a line of action script.I am triying to develop an image editing tool to be embedded in my webpage.The key features I want in the tool are: I have a fixed background image. The user may chose to over lay text or images over the image, with resizability, etc.My questions are:
1) can I consider Flash with action script and javascript a platform for this?
2) Where do I start.
3) what all do I need to start with.
i have a weird problem with editing text in flash 8:i can only use the "solid" option in the color mixer window when i choose any text, every time i try to change it to the any other of the "types"(linear,bitmac etc) it just wont change and stay on "solid", i cant use gradients as well..
View 1 RepliesWhat's the best way to enable a client to edit text in a Flash-only site? I'm not talking about throughout the site, just selected text blocks. I could easily fill them from XML files and provide a file upload facility, but most clients will want something more friendly. I could copy the text to a TextArea for editing within the site and update the text from that but I think I'd end up writing my own wordprocessing software to make it look friendly. What do others do? I don't want to re-invent the wheel!
View 4 RepliesThis is a custom flash template I downloaded, when you watch/use the template you can see about me, and all the text in it, however when I attempt to edit it to my specs, I see the frame where it is located, but I cannot edit any text, because I can't SEE any text!!So basically, in editing mode, I don't see any text to edit, but when using the template, I see a lot of info... I have no idea what to do, and please keep in mind I am in no means a professional, or even intermediately good with Flash...
View 1 RepliesI have a flash file and I have the dynamic text with the variable name 'Text1' I want to be able to edit this piece of text by linking the flash file to a php file - but I know nothing about php and therefore I don't know what coding to use in flash to link to php. All I need is a basic bit of coding which would be able to put in php so that one bit can be edited so that it will be edited in the swf.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a Flash presentation, and the user wants to be able to change the text on any screen from Flash itself. This was my original my idea (I don't have much experience in AS):
1 - Put all the text in a text file (XML or plain).
2 - Make AS read the text and fill in the text fields in the Flash presentation.
3 - When it's needed to change the text content, execute the Flash presentation with a parameter that will tell AS to show all the fields as INPUT.
4 - Save the new text in the text file via PHP.
But I have been asked if it would be possible to avoid the use of a text file (and the server connection with PHP) and change the swf text content directly with AS. Is this possible? I have been googling it but with no success. I have the idea that this wouldn't be possible but i don't know all the possibilites in the Flash environment.
I'm edit a flash file that uses about 11 different fonts. When I toss it into the editor and publish it some characters are missing from the product, such as W's and M's. I've installed the fonts that were included with the flash file into windows7.

View 2 RepliesI'm working on creating a simple projection mapping application in flash for a class. One of the biggest hurdles is superimposing a video in "3D". The way I intend to do this, is to transform the individual points of the video to match the cubes I'm projecting on.
View 8 RepliesI am new to Flash and this may sound, well dumb but here it goes. I have taken some video files from Final Cut Pro converted them to FLV's imported them and embedded them into flash to create some banners for the web. I need to know what settings I should use to get these out of Flash for the web.
Also I need to send them to someone to look at before publishing. What would be the best format to do that in and how to do it.
Also has anyone has any experience creating banners in or online ads in a Video format like FCP and embedding them into a flash file to export them in flash for we publishing. Sorry again for the dumb question, just new to Flash.
So what I am curious about is if it is possible and how, to have an embedded video and capture the thumbnail. There are other sites that share video and I'd like to get the thumbnails from the embedded videos, but they use flash video players to show the video and likely use flashvars to pull up the right video.
I've been trying to automate some of the capture of thumbnails and embedded videos but have no clue how to get remote thumbnails from these videos.
I have embedded a flash video on my website. [URL]...I am having the problem that it seems to rescale fine in Firefox on the Mac, but in Firefox in Windows it just crops the video.
Here it my HTML

<param name="movie" value="How To Add A Location">

I've literally tried everything and cant get anything to work. I'm trying to get a video to not autoplay.I have added what code i have to this fiddle.
View 1 RepliesI have three (youtube) videos embedded in Flash. Every time a new video is a loaded, the sound video from the old video continues to play. I have tried using removeMovieClip(); and I have tried stopAllSounds(); I have tried 'delete video_mc'. Nothing seems to work!
Here is my script:
ActionScript Code:
// Video Script
// Default - We'd Drink
// show this video on load
showDefault();
videoBtn1.onRelease = showDefault;
function showDefault(){

So i have been working on a project, its a digital portfolio. Now I have the Host Movie and and then I have a submovie which is loaded into the Host movie. That all works fine!
I have embedded a video onto the stage and when I click the exit button to go back to my host the video still plays. Here is my code.
function exit(event:MouseEvent):void {
var parentObj:Object=this.parent.parent;
parentObj.closeMovie();
}
[Code].....
I also have 3 other objects in the submovie which loads 3 other sub movies.
Inception!
They work fine, but yet again the video still plays in the background.
Looking at the attached file, why does bottomScrollV give me the wrong value when the text is dynamically embedded and correct when manually embedded?
Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoad);
loader.load( new URLRequest("info.xml") );

Im having serious issues making a video sync with audio inside an embedded flash video file.
View 2 RepliesI have a video that I've embedded into a project by means of linking it from my server, where it lives (not embedding it into the actual project) and I cant for the life of me find a way to get the video to continually loop when it finishes. Any looping meathod I've found so far using AS3 only loops the basic animations in the movie, not the video.
View 1 RepliesThe following is the code I am using to display a YouTube embedded video in my flash application.
Code:
Security.allowDomain("youtube.com");
var plr:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(plr);
[Code]....
I cannot load more than one of those in my app. As soon as I load one youtube vid like that, any others will fail to load UNLESS it was the same video as the first one loaded, in which case there seems to be a 50% chance that it will load. And even when the second one (the same as the first) does load, there are issues with the player loaded.... it seems they are connected somehow and get confused with each other. The trackbar will flicker between the play time of the first one and the play time of the second one.
Next problem... I cannot unload the video right away. Say my user wants to close the video out, when I use:
Code:
ldr.unload()
the player does NOT close its streams and you can hear the audio still playing (assuming it was closed before it was finished playing)...
In my eyes, this is horribly bad programming on YouTube's part. They claim that you are allowed to embed their videos in AS3.0, but if that's true then why does it have such a horrible time as a child SWF? Proper children SWF files should be listening for an "unload" call and close out anything they need to when unloaded.
Here is what I've tried so far:
- Seperating the videos by loading them into other children SWF files (children that I created that I've told to load a specific YouTube vid)
- loading at different times
- Allowing security access from YouTube
How can I load more than one YouTube video into my Flash App without causing problems between them? I'm at my wit's end.
I've tried a few ways but nothing seems to work. What I'd like to do is have my users post video's with the given embed code (example):
<object id="cnbcplayer" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="380" codebase="[URL]">
<param name="type" value="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
[Code] .....
But then, I want to resize it to be 300px wide. I've tried updating the attributes with jQuery but that didn't work.
I would like to take a Flash video that is hosted on another site (like Youtube) and embed it into my own site with a custom designed HTML5 / CSS / jQuery GUI for player controls.
Would I have to create the new player GUI in Flash?
I am testing on a Xoom device, running OS 3.2. The project is built (in Eclipse) using the 3.1 library.
I have the latest version of flash installed, and embedded flash plays fine in my tablet's browser.
If I create an activity like this:
WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.browserView);
browser .getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
browser .getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
[Code]....
Then I hear the sound playing for the flash, but it shows up as a white box.
Similarly, any other page with embedded flash has the same problem. I've also tried making a string containing static HTML content, and loading that into the browser... but it has the same problem.
I've read every solution I could find online, from setting the view to invisible until the onPageFinish event is called, to extending the WebView class, and paining over it. I've tried reflection, to call hidden properties on the WebView's settings for enabling flash, etc. Nothing works.
was wondering if I could get some direction on something that I have been wondering about for a while. There have several flash video players that I have seen that only start to load/play the video when the object is visible on the screen.For instance, if I click a link to an html page with an auto playing flv on it, and then minimize the window. The video will only start to play/load once I maximize the window again. The other instance I have seen it is with the position of the page. So if an flv is placed onto a long html page, all the way at the bottom, it will only begin to load/play once I have scrolled to make it visible.
View 1 Replies1. i am trying to drag and drop movie clips with a short video clips in it(inside movie cilp), on to another square target "tv" with buttons play stop etc.
2. on this square "tv" i want to be able to view the clip i just drag to the "tv" to (manipulate the clip with play stop on so on) and the same thing with the other clips
3. after that i want to drag the movie clips or another movie clip of the same to a time line with other movie clips and be able to play the time line with the editing movie clips as a new entire editable video clip
I have trouble in choosing between external video with playback component and embedded video . I have tried adding video to dynamic page and everything is perfect .This video I have imported using the option File ->import video -> external video with playback component. If I try to execute flv on another system , the video is not playing eventhough it is in library.
So, I have imported video using the option of embedded video and this worked fine on another systems as it embeds video. The video plays for only 2 min 54 sec. I have compressed the bit rate to how much ever I can in premier pro. It resulted in reducing the size of the file but still I see the video occupying more than 3500 frames in the timeline. I feel this is not optimal.
