ActionScript 2.0 :: Reduce Load And Loop 'AS' Based Streaming Video?
Aug 11, 2006
I'm in the process of including a 1 minute .flv into a flash doc. I don't want to stream the video since i want the video to load almost instantly and do not have any room for streaming progress bars also i can't use flash8 and to get video to stream in flash 6 is a pain.
What i have planned to do now was slice up the 1 minute video into 6/ 10sec clips. Put each clip in a seperate external movie which will range from 50-100kb each in kb's. I want to preload the first video and then play it, then in the background load external video2 while external 1 is playing. then play external 2 at the end of external video1 and do the same for the rest of the videos. Its a lot more work but i think this way i can reduce load time and have the video play almost straight away.
What do you guys think? is there a easy way to do it and achieve the same results or should i continue with my concept above, and if i do what i have planned is there any code that you can direct me too that will load a movie / hide it and play when called for?

I have developed a video player in flash 8 with actionscript 2.0. The problem I am having is that it uses something like 30%-45% of my cpu, 1,73 GHz. Is this normal and can u code it smarter for lower cpu usage?

So I downloaded this as3flvplayer script, but it hasn't been updated in over a year and has no documentation. It is based off loading the video from XML, but I would like to change it to where I can specify a URL parameter instead.
like: example.com/player.swf?v=video1.flv
Here is the original: [URL]

We have a requirement to show a list of appointment slots. So every hour of a schedule has a set of 10 min slots. The requirement is that if we click on a arrow button at the 8:00, 9:00 hour slot, the layout of the hour slots should change from a vertical list to a horizontal list.For this we modeled the system as follows:ScheduleComponent ->(contains) -> List (Hours of schedule)The HourViewComponent is an Item Renderer, that displays the 10 mins slots based on the available appointments by using a Slots List (list of slots in the 8:00 hour). For the Slots List we have a Slot View Component as an Item Renderer.Now the issue is that when we click on the 8:00 slot we are able to change the HourViewSlot from a VerticalState to a Horizontal state. But The container height is not collapsing in the minimized state. It occupies the same size as the vertical layout! We tried using variableRowHeight attribute.

I have a Flash 8 a/s2 site but I feel the load time when a visitor visits the site is too long. The site does have music, pictures and videos but they are all loading externally.
Is there a way I can reduce the load time of the SWF?

Having a problem with a game, The cpu load at the start when all the elements are on the stage is between 120 - 150%. Far too high. I reduced the frame rate from 30 to 24 and now the cpu load is around 100 - 125% which is still too high for my liking !! I'm wondering if this code can be optimized, I'm sure this is the cause, it's running within a movieclip class on 15 movies at the start..

We have one functionality in which one user can communicate with the other user at the same time through flash media server3.5. In this fucnitonality we are catching stream from both end through camera and pass it to flash media server. On FMS side this streams gets stored also we are displaying those recorded flv files side by side to the corresponding user so that they can communicate with each other. In this situation we are facing a video and audio latency upto 1.5 to 2 sec.

We are using the FMS4 for 1-1 real time video chatting. it is fine but the CPU usage are very high.[url]...
we use the :80 I guess it helps to deal with the firewall with HTTP tunneling? (seems if it is true, it will this degrade performance?)
with 320*240; it is using 30~50 % CPU; with 480*360: 40-60% CPU at the clients. so high... decent client machine: Intel i5 650. Quad 3.3Ghz 8G RAM. win7 64

I'm programming an xml image gallery for a photographer in As3.All thumbs load in from XML-driven external source and then if you click a thumb it loads (the same way) an image.Being that she is a photographer I'm assuming she will want large good quality images in the gallery. If there are large image files say 2mb or so, apart from changeing the image res/size is there a way to reduce the load time when those image are called or should I add a warning that the files are large and people will have to wait?

I am streaming flash video and the dimension of the video is 1280 by 720 (same size as the stage)
but just before the video streams, there is a quick flash of the video (about 320px by 240px) at the top corner of the stage, and then it plays the videos at the correct size (which is 1280 by 720) .... a quick flash is the best way I can explain it.
This is my code:
function clicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
var video:Video = new Video();
addChild(video);
[Code]....
is there anyway I can stop that quick flash of the video .... so when I click on the button, it just plays the video, at the correct size?

What I want to do is have control over the streams so I can send them wherever I want, have it interface w/a mic and cam, and the ability to capture and record them. At this point I don't have any specific specs or limitations. It will be used in a commercial project so the license must allow for that. Free and OSS is preferably, but commercial and proprietary is not out of the question if it's worth it.
I don't see html5 as a viable solution at this point so I'm assuming it's going to rely on flash which is fine, but I do not know actionscript. I'm not opposed to learning it, and assume I could pick it up fine within a week, but keep that in mind. If I have to build something myself from the actionscript libraries (I assume they provide enough functionality) I can do so, but I'm hoping for a quicker solution than that.

I need a flash video player for our public site where users will share videos.The video usage model is similar to youtube as far as video part is concerned.Users will upload and share videos. Users will browse and play all shared videos as well.The videos will be streamed from the server and our app is a .NET/C#/JQuery application.We have 3 options:
1) Either buy a commercial flash player
2) Customize a open source player or use free player and customize its gui
3) Develop our own (time consuming and last resort)
I am required to find a flash video player with these requirements:
Player should work in all major browsers (IE, FF, Chrome, Safari)
Player should have way to inject Advertisement clips when playing a video file
Light weight and easy to integrate
Must support streaming and scale
Plus all other basic features of a flash video player.

I have CS4 but saving doc as CS3 so I hope I am in the right forum. I added a behavior as sound streaming mp3. I want to loop it.. Here is the action code that was generated. How would I change it to looping. I changed the true to false at the end of the code but that didn't work. here it is:
//Load Streaming mp3 behavior if(_global.Behaviors == null)_global.Behaviors = {}; if(_global.Behaviors.Sound == null)_global.Behaviors.Sound = {}; if(typeof this.createEmptyMovieClip == 'undefined'){ this._parent.createEmptyMovieClip('BS_figaro',new Date().getTime()-(Math.floor((new Date().getTime()) /10000)*10000) ); _global.Behaviors.Sound.figaro = new Sound(this._parent.BS_figaro);

I have created animated presentations (since now, I have just videos) for my seminars at the university with cinema 4D and I added some effects with After Effects (CS5). Now, I want to build an interactive presentation. That means:
- The (video projector) presentation starts with a video in a loop.
- When I click a button on the mouse/keyboard, the video finishes the loop until the end and
- show a transition video and
- start the next loop and so on...

how do I set this onLoadInit so that with every new load it moves the _x of the container it's loading into (photoBox1 2. 3...) by the width of the parent container (picCont).Another option would be to include that picMCL right within the loop but I don't know how to pause the loop until onLoadInitis reached and new photo can be loaded.

Got a large file 12 minutes long clip and I compressed it with the adobe optimization program adobe media encoder. I got a 350 megbite file to be 60 megabites as a 320X240. I choose also a medium size video file. How do I keep the video quality and stream it (like hulu would do) or how do I compress it smaller than 60 megabites and keep the same quality. Either or. I am not familiar with web video so I am trying to make the file as small as I can in size with the most amount of quality.

I'm new to the streaming video world but I do have FMS 3.5 up and running and have encoded some wmv and mp4 videos to flv using adobe encoder CS4. I followed the tutorials and have created the swf files in flash CS4 and the videos are streaming as expected.
The primary issue I am having is the videos tend to be choppy at times. They pause, run slowly, audio pops and just overall; glitchy. Typically at the beginning but some times throughout. The test files at the FMS admin page stream fine without issue from the same server. We have tested the site/streams from multiple providers all at cable modem speed or above.
We are running FMS 3.5 developer version and wish to purchase the full version but I really need to fix this issue to prove it's value.As a bit of background we are running/testing FMS 3.5 from a server with the following specs:Redhat EL 4.6-32 SuperMicro X7DBU Intel Xeon QuadCore DualProc Sata [2Proc] Intel Xeon-Harpertown 5420-Quadcore [2.5GHz] OEM 4GB ECC FB-DIMM DDR2 Mainboard Onboard SATAII Controller (2) Western Digital WD Caviar RE 16 WD2500YS Uplink speed 10 (Mbps) Bandwidth allotment 2000 GB(Virtual Private Rack)
