ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading And Looping Video And Communicating Between SWFs
Sep 28, 2010
I am trying to create an fla file which will load and play an flv file. Once the flv reaches the end I then need it to load in another flv file which will then loop continuosly thereafter.
I have found some AS3 code to do this but I need it in AS2 as i also need to get the file to communicate with an audio player file.
Ultimately I need to have the video file hold on loading and then start playing once the audio player has loaded and started playing.
video loading/playing/looping and/or the communication between 2 swf files to trigger the video playing

I have a main swf(parent) and a sub swf(child) that I have loaded into the parent swf. I am trying to make a button in the child swf effect the parent swf. I mainly want the child swf to communicate with the parent and tell it to make a movie clip visible and start to play.

I'm using a wordpress theme, and making a flash banner which contains thumbnails that preview different 'projects', i.e. sets of images.
These thumnails will act as buttons. I want the thumbnail to load a generic php page (i.e. the skeleton stays the same for each project) which contains an swf movie which loads content based on the thumbnail clicked.
Here's an image to help illustrate:
Can I use loadVars to send variables from swf > php > swf?

So if I have several external swfs embedded in one big one, in what way can I communicate between them?Specifically,
-the main swf needs to know when buttons have been pressed in an embedded one, and it needs to tell all the other embedded ones about it.
-the embedded swfs need to intelligently resize and shuffle around each other, while keeping their coordinate origins in the top corner.How do I go about this?

I'm looking for the best method to communicate different swfs embedded in the same html. It would be a simple interaction like passing variables from one to the other.

How to make one swf make another swf play on the timeline, both swf on the same page. I need it so when I rollover the first swf it begins to play the timeline but as soon as I roll over that swf, it causes another swf on the webpage to play its timeline as well.

I'm loading movies into my parent movie, and i was wondering if it was possible to communicate between the two - so i could swap out other external SWFs (in the parent) based on input in the loaded movie.I'm still relatively new to Action Script, and have been learning quick, but i have been unsuccessful in my attempts so far.

Using Flash 8 and CS3.I have video clips that are SWF's and want to load them into a blank movie clip one after the other automatically. So when one movie ends the other one will load up and play.I have tried using a wait function and it didn't work, it just kept playing the 1st clip over and over again.

into my main movie i want to load one swf with the navigation into one empty movie clip, in another empty movie clip load the different "pages", how do i talk between the 2 swf files loaded into my main movie, in other words, how do i make the "about" button load the "about" page, and when the different swf files load for each "page" i want each one to load on top of the current one, not to replace it.

I have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf

I want to make a banner loader. Basically its a swf that must load other swfs continuously, looping. Ive tried 2 things this far, and none of them seemed to work. 1st try: on my banner1.swf I used the onComplete parameter of Caurina package. So, when the animation should end, I simply made a method stating something like this:

Flash - 8 : Above is an example of what I would like to do/have done. I've gotten as far as loading the "loaded.swf" into the "start.swf" but my problem is I'd love to use that little loading action I made earlier without copying and pasting into the new movie the same actions for a different link. So, how do I load "loaded2.swf" into "loaded.swf" via the link in "loaded.swf"?

i'm using the XML Video Playlist tutorial and have it working like a charm, but my issue is that once a video is done playing, i'd like it to stop. Instead, it starts the video over. i tried adapting the Code: Select allfunction restartIt() {ns.seek(0); by giving a false value, but it didn't change anything. I also added a Code: Select all<param name="loop" value="false" /> to my web page, but that didn't help.

I've written a SWF distributor which GZIPs the SWF then sends it as an SWF content type, it works just if the SWF used to loop it no longer does. Any reason why the compressed SWF doesn't loop the video/animation?

I'm trying to create an AS3 app with looping, seamless video background. The background is loaded from an flv. The problem thus far is with the seamless bit, because all the video looping tactics I've come accross regarding AS3 always seem to have that short but noticeable pause at the end of the video before going back to the beginning and playing again.
The best way I've determined to deal with this is to play a video and buffer the video frames as BitmapData objects into a queue of a defined length (without adding the video to stage). This way Rendering the video would then really involve popping each of those BitmapDatas into a Bitmap object attached to my stage in a timed manner, which then gets drawn.
Sort of like:
/*VideoBufferer loops the input video and queues frames and then updates*/
var vidbuffer:VideoBufferer = new MyVideo("video.flv",outputImage)
var outputImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
stage.addChild(outputImage);
//forgive syntax, this is pseudoCode
timed process that happens X times per second{
outputImage.bitmapData = vidbuffer.popBitmapData();
//returns bitmap data from the queue }
I don't care about sound. However I seem to not know how to implement this desired VideoBufferer class as I don't know how to play a video without adding it to stage and grabbing frames from it. How to implement the frame grabbing side of VideoBufferer?

I have designed a site with a looping MP3 and video.
Problem is that the memory consumption of the Flash plugin goes up about 40mb every minute, and the site 'crashes' after a while. I would have thought that a single entity, that loops, would not have to re-load into memory, but this is what seems to be happening.
The looping video is approximately 800kb, and the MP3 is approximately 400kb.
how to minimize memory loss/consumption?

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.

I have made a short movie which I intend to loop on the web using Flash CS3. I found setting up the FLVplayback component really easy and currently have the .swf playing my external .flv perfectly. Now I need to figure out how to loop the movie - seamlessly if possible. I found this video tutorial, but it appears I can't add actionscript to the FLVplayback component in CS3, and the parameters bit doesn't seem to have a option for it. I heard elsewhere that the best way to seamlessly loop a movie in Flash is to embed the movie. Is this true? If so, how do I go about doing this?

I am streaming an FLV as an intro video for a website. This intro video contains two HTML buttons (login + enter) overlayed using a transparent DIV. The client has specifically asked for the video to loop if the user clicks on "login" as they will need additional time to enter their details. However, if the user doesn't click on anything then they want the site to automatically carry on to the homepage. My question is: How do I get the HTML to communicate these conditions to my FLV player that is streaming the intro video? This is AS3.0.

I'm currently trying to implement a short video (10 seconds, looping) in a web page. Initially, we tried using HTML5 Video tag with .mov (and H.264 as video codec inside). The file size was a couple MB, but the servers we're using were at 99% CPU usage - which is way too high because they're stacked on top of one another and they could burn up if left at that pace for too long.
My question is simply: what is a good way to display a short 10 second looping video inside a web page that limits CPU usage and will keep a descent frame rate? We're exploring the option of good ol' Flash (SWF) files, but wanted to get some input.
