I'm a complete newbie to actionscript and don't really have a clue. However by following an online tutorial in Flash 8 I managed to create a custom FLV player you can see it here [url]... I want to create a poster frame similar to YouTube so that the user clicks to start the video, however I only found how to do this using actionscript 3.0 not 2.0 which I programmed my player in.
View 9 RepliesI want to make a poster frame (a simple jpg)to display before the FLV video plays.So first the user to click the play button or on this poster frame.The code below does exactly what I need, but it is in Flash CS4.How could I do the same with Flash 8 Pro (ActionScript 2.0)?

Im building application where users can upload flv's with the fileReference. When a user press upload the flv is uploaded into a folder and the path stored into the database.
When the user clicks on an other page, he can see a list with all the uploaded movies. But I want to create custom control for the movie so the user can click one to play.
How can I add a 'poster'from the first or a random frame from the FLV?
( There is no option to create a png for each file because when the app is online user can pick there own FLVs to upload. )
There used to be a way, in AS 2 to put the FLVPlayback component on frame 2, a poster frame JPG on frame 1 and some actionscript in frame one sayingwhen the user clicks on the JPG, Play.This would move the timeline playhead to the FLV, hide the JPG, play the video - very simple.NOW - after not touching Flash (v11.5 Mac) for a year - I need to do the same thing in AS3.
View 15 RepliesI´m using a trial version of Fl Professional CS5 and I´m new to it. I am trying to create a poster frame for my video to upload but when I try to select the scene by using the preview parameter it is not editable and neither is cuePoints. I am referring to the component parameters panel. The default says "none". I can tick/untick the other options - autoplay, isLive etc. I´ve been playing around with it for hours without any luck.
Also, is there a way that I can add a "view in full screen" option to the video I want to upload?
I'm trying to set up a poster frame for my FLV player. I'm able to get the poster frame do it's job when the video ends. But I'm not able to unload it if it s clicked again or get the play/pause button to switch accordingly.

I just spent 2 hours scouring the web for the answer. All I'm seeing is a whole lot of "how do you do it" and a lot of "do a google search for it'. I found a tutorial for CS4 that looked promising yet when I tried it in CS5 the damned Preview attribute (or whatever) just sits there looking at me. You're supposed to be able to click on it and choose a frame. I click and double click and nothing happens.

got a movie clip with a fairly complex timeline animation. At the end of the clip I need the entire mc to move and scale to a specific location. Unfortunately, the first frame of the mc (the poster frame) is just solid black, the elements I really need to align are on the last frame of the mc (near frame 435). Is there a way to display an arbitrary frame of a mc on the main timeline for authoring purposes?
View 2 RepliesI've been customizing the flvplayback component and have run into a problem. So far I have successfully created a custom skin for the flvplayback component, with a play overlay button,which loads the FLV dynamically from flashvars.I am now trying to load in a static image which appears until the video is played.I've been looking around the internet and in the Adobe forums, but haven't found what I'm looking for.I thought perhaps the Preview min the AS3 flvplayback component would help, but this won't work apparently.
I was thinking myPlayer.source = "image.jpg"; but then how can I change what the source is once someone clicks on the video? I also found fl.video.VideoEvent, but I'm not sure how I can use this to set the image as the source, until someone presses the play button, or until the video is playing (note that I am using an overlay play button which shows up whenever the movie is paused, so once the video starts playing, I would not want the static preview image to come up again...just until someone clicks the any play
button).
I cannot find an ActionScript 3 code example anywhere on how to load a PNG file as a flvplayback preview image and add it in at runtime." Assigning the preview property with the string of the PNG file refrence like 'video.preview = "previewimg.png"' does nothing. who to assign in ActionScript 3 a PNG file as preview file.
View 7 RepliesThe quick question: is there a pure PHP library that can extract a frame from the video to use as the thumbnail? I guess the answer is "no" but let me know if I am wrong :-) ffmpeg wrappers will not go, since I want this feature to work on most hostings without special PHP modules or binaries to launch.
There might also be some tool to do this on the client side with flash for example.
I was just wondering if it is possible to just load the first frame of a video in AS3, so I can use it as a screenshot/preview type of thing?
View 1 Replies[URL]..and I wanted to duplicate the effect and turn it into something.. I don't know, something. I just want to get it to work!
It's been a while since I did AS3 programming, so excuse me for being a bit rusty. I loaded a .mov as a FLVPlayback exported it as movie.swf and in the main.fla I made an URLRequest for the .swf. I then did all the silly math things that strobes it, and it all works out when I have an image, but with the movie.swf I just can't get it to work.
With the image it's just a matter of copying the bitmap and repositioning it. But how do I capture a still of the playing .swf?
I am a little bit lost within all the CopyPixels and BitmatData's and I just can't get it to work.
To make it short:
- I want to load a movie (a .mov in this case)
- I want in every frame to capture the frame of the playing movie and duplicate it/reposition it
I suppose the title says it all. I can load an external video file (FLV) and I can have it play. I also have the custom buttons made to control the clip. The only thing I have left to do is to have the main timeline move onto frame 2 once the external video reaches its end. I am using actionscript 3 and flash cs 5.5.
View 7 Repliesi've recently installed Wowza media server 2 locally, currently only for testing purposes.everything works fine, except of accurate seeking functionality - or in other words advancing frame-by-frame .when i use VLC to play my video file i have no problems advancing frame-by-frame. however, when i use the 'seek()' function to move the playhead a fraction of a second, its seems to move only to the next key frame (meaning that only once every few mouse clicks the playhead advances dramatically).
View 1 RepliesI know how to make a video (instanced as showreel) stop when clicking on a button that that navigates to another section/frame, since otherwise I would still listen to that video while not visible. The problem is when I'm in another frame that doesn't have that video, when clicking on the menu to go to whichever other frame, it looks for that it to stop if it's playing and it and doesn't find it, and so there's an error.
How can solve this? Maybe I should put an order saying something like if there exists a video in that frame instanced as sowreel, stop it, otherwise don't do anything as there is nothing to be stopped. Or assign the order to the frame (which is called motion), but I don't know how to do that, can someone help? The code I have is:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void { if( showreel.playing ){ showreel.stop();} gotoAndStop(evt.currentTarget.name);}
motion.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);web.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);logo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);photo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
I attached the code here. The problem is after importing the video in the first frame while navigating the video sound is heard which means the video is still playing. How can I stop it when moving to other section. Here is code

I need to write a small Flash app that will need to extract a video frame from a playing video. It will not need to be saved to the HDD of the user. I just need to get the image data and display it in the Flash movie. The frame to extract will be chosen by the user, which is why I'd like to do this purely on the client side (though I know I could do it from the server side).

View 1 RepliesJust like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3. When I export a video from Premiere with the settings: 1280x720frame rate of 23.976using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),"embed video on SWF and play in timeline" When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either.
Is it possible to set the frame count of a video manually in Flash BUilder 4? How is the frame length of a video determined in Flash Builder 4? I need to do this in order to trick video format converters into thinking that my video is actually x frames long instead of just 1 (my swf video is controlled completely through as3 code and thus resided on just the 1st frame). This way, the video format converters will be able to automatically (and correctly) convert my videos to another format (flv is desired). Another solution to this would be a converter that actually automatically converts based on video length rather than frame count, but I have already thoroughly searched for one and one doesn't seem to exist.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible in flash to get a specific frame in a flv video as a bitmap or an image.?
i saw an example of it online but as the comments said it didnt work and some said that its not possible.
I've put together a small website and have managed to teach myself quite a bit but there is one thing that I can't seem to find any info on,on the second page of the site I have a video, which progressively loads into the page, however I would like to make the video stop playing when you go to any of the other pages of the site. I'm sure this is a pretty straight forward piece of code but I can't work it out myself.This is the code I use to start my video playing.....
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

I have a FLV video that I need to stop when my flash video reaches a certain frame. I named my video "SMB3video". Using AS3. I don't want something super advanced, just keep it as simple as possible. I tried to create a script which gave me no errors until it reached the frame for the timeline.
Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,ent_frame);
function ent_frame() {
SMB3video.stop();
}
I am having Fast-Forward and Rewind Functionality in my Custom Video Player, Which I done by calling seek method on regular interval.which works fine. but for same cases , the video playHeadTime get changed , but the frame does not change with that, and video's playHeadTime and Frame does not come with sync.
