ActionScript 2.0 :: Skipping To Cue Points With FLV?
Apr 28, 2009
I'm currently streaming a video with AS2 using netstream.I have already found out how to pause my video on certain cue points, however I do not know how to skip to certain cue points.Basically I have buttons, which will each skip to a certain part of the video.All my cue points are embedded in the FLV.To pause my video I have the following code:[code]Any help on how I can use the buttons to skip to say "SecondCue" and "ThirdCue"?

I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.

I am working on a project wherein a long (40-50min) flv plays inside a flash interface. I have a set of buttons that I would like to use to skip to different parts of the video as it plays, this works fine on my local machine using cue points but of course online I cannot jump to sections that have not yet been buffered, I'd like to be able to do this if possible. I'm looking at a couple of options at the moment...1, Use a content delivery network that offers a flash media server, as I believe this will sidestep this issue, however this will cost money that isn't really available for this project.2, Split the long movie file up into chunks and have my navigation buttons load a new flv onClick.If I go for option 2 is there any way of keeping a cumulative progress bar running as if it was all one video.

I'm making a flash company profile in the style of a website, except it won't be uploaded online.and i made each button skip to a frame that i already named
some of the buttons are skipping to the wrong frames for some reason,the ones that are not working properly have some pretty big picture files on them,could this be the reason or is it just an action script mistake?

I want something to slide off the screen when I click on it. I (think I) have it set so that when you click, the button itself disappears, and a movie clip of the object sliding away becomes visible and plays.
Code:
mcslide._visible=false;
slidebutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Click);
function Click(ev:MouseEvent):void
[code]....
The problem is that the movie clip will either skip right to the end and stop if I have a "stop();" put in at the last frame, or it will skip right to the end on the first play, but then loop correctly after that if there's no "stop();".

I am in the process of building a game with around 20 levels. Now, as I was thinking of trying to add a "skip" option to the game with the space bar key. I have a little trouble, since holding down the spacebar invokes the KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event multiple times.
The above scenario (Keydown and keyup) works just fine when I'm trying to move my player character on screen. The one main concern that is lingering in my mind is "Is this going wrong because the KeyboardEvent listeners do get removed and added when changing levels?"
P.S: Adding the skip option as a button works just fine, but I'd really like to use Spacebar for the ease of use.

I am deploying a jwplayer (url...) to a website and I am not 100% satisfied with the way the player behaves when you skip to a new position, you press the timeline at one spot, but it skips to a different location. (the elapsed time indicator)
It seems this is a problem with flash video in general? Or can this be solved by using for instance streaming video instead of progressive HTTP playback?

I am trying to implement a custom animated button. In normal/up state, a MovieClip containing a bitmap animation is played. When you mouse over the button, I want to double the speed of the animation by skipping a frame every frame. And when your mouse leaves the button, I want the speed to go back to normal. I am trying to do it inside the ENTER_FRAME event:

I have a movie with content sync'd with audio. A user can also use a scroll bar to go to specific time of the whole movie. Sometimes I have interactions in the middle of the movie that the actionscript does not load until it reaches the frame. Because of the scroll bar, a user may scroll past the beginning frame of where an interaction starts. Then the script gets skipped and the interaction won't work.How can I do to allow user navigation while preventing a user from skipping the script?

im having a problem that seems to me that its skipping lines of action script
for (a=1; a<=8; a++) {
for (b=1; b<=18; b++) {
var A:String = let(a);
var B:String = b.toString();
[code]....
but when this is run, it wouldnt go into some of those if statements. So i debugged it to see what happened. and at some points, it just wouldnt go into the statement even though its conditions were true.

I would like some assistance. I created an xml slideshow which works fine when viewed in a browser, but when I view it in Flash Player, it skips some of the pictures, leaving a white screen instead. Is there a way of overcoming this?

Basically the problem is that the flash player skips my frames for some reason!Problem: calling gotoAndPlay("label"), and once flash gets to that label, it does play, but it does not reach the trace action at the end of the timeline, although it reaches the end of the timeline and loops to the beginning as far as the visible artwork is concerned. There is no stop actions involved in between the gotoAndPlay and the trace action.If I reproduce this in a simpler environment I do not get the error. In the file I am using a few of my own simple external classes, and the as2 EventDispatcher, and caurina Tweener.

It's not that noticeable at first, but my counter skips over to zero and ignores the nines. How can I get my counter to not skipping the nines?
Display Object.It's a column descending from 0-9. 'The object and the values appear correct except the skip'

using scenes I had the problem of the published movie skipping scenes, and I was hoping that it would fix itself once I compiled all my scenes onto one time line. The problem still persists, and at one "scene" (now a movie clip on the time line), it just goes into an endless loop.Right now the movie is broken into two scenes to get around the 16000 frame limit. When I test the two scenes individually, they run fine. Only when I test the entire movie does it screw up.So my question is: Is there a way I can use action script to force the movie to play a range of frames so it doesn't skip over them? Having two .fla files and a call function isn't an option since I need to upload it online to various websites, and I can't host separate .fla's elsewhere to be called upon.

I need to happen is when the UP arrow key is pressed, go to next frame. If the DOWN arrowkey is pressed, go back a frame. Here is the code:
< quote >
//stop();
//keyListener = new Object();
//keyListener.onKeyUp = function()
[Code]....
Unfortunately, it is giving me some problems. At first, it seems to work fine, it will go forward a frame if UP key is pressed. However, if I press the down key, then the up key again, it will skip a frame. For example:
I am on frame 1- I press UP key, flash goes to frame 2 On frame 2, I press DOWN key, flash goes to frame 1 On frame 1 again, if I press UP key, flash will jump to frame 3 It will continue to do this until I am left with just my first and last frame and can't go thorugh the other ones.

I want it the roll over of my button to play a ball bouncing. But the problem that I am having is when i rollover the button, and then roll back over the button quickly, it glitches the animation. Does anyone know how to fix this with an If/Then statement? Like make the rollover only activate when the Ball movieclip is only on Frame 1?

I am creating a custom video class and was wondering is anyone knows how to turn cue points embedded in an flv into a time in an array.
I have tried the following but, although it doesn't give me any errors, it simply rewinds 1 second rather than skipping back to the correct cuePoint. I can't figure out why? :
Code:
public var _durationArray:Array = new Array();
public function makeArray(info:Object):void {
for (var i:Number = 0; i < info.cuePoints.length; i++) {
[Code].....
This previous code is amongst other code, which makes does things. Then in a new class I call it inside a function (which triggers fine):
Code:
_vidStream.seek(_durationArray[0].time);

i've got a simple demo for a spot the difference game,you click, find the differences, if you find all 5, the find count goes down to 0 and you get a win screen.. that's fine if you don't find them all within 30 seconds, it goes to a loose screen, that's also fine the problem comes when you click to replay and then seemingly for no good reason, the timer skips more than 1 number a second.. this is the code i'm using on the timer
Code:
count = 30;
countdown = function(){
count--;

Been a while since I have used flash, but I finally have a chance to get my hands dirty again. I'm putting together a video player and all it's all working fine so far.
I was wondering how you can add similar functionality to the player like YouTube, where you can skip to any part of the video before the entire flv has downloaded?

when I debug this piece of code, I find some weird things happened. It didn't run the way I think it should be. I googled some info about variable scope in AS 3 and find out some interesting info.

I have a Flash CS5/AS3 project, a large Flash game, that uses a LOT of animations. I've divided these up into a MovieClip on a Scene, with corresponding actionscripts and events, for the "exploring screens", and another MovieClip on a Scene for one of the challenges, and another such set for another challenge. This method allows me to put only the animations that section needs into the corresponding MovieClip, and link the events of the scene to its MovieClip.
However, I obviously have to link these. I use the following to do it:
stop();
thismovieclip.stop();
gotoAndPlay(1, "THAT_SCENE");
The next movieclip starts automatically when the next scene shows up. This works well in theory. But, though the correct Scene shows up, that scene's movieclip is skipping erratically (as opposed to playing smoothly), and its audiocues are playing, along with the audiocues from another movieclip that I neither called nor have on this Scene. (Mind you, that movieclip hadn't even RUN yet.)

I've asked collegues and others, noone seems to have an answer to this.
I'm making a site that uses the Parallax Scroll effect, that is, when mouse moves and the movie scrolls, different layers move with different speeds - making it appear a bit 3-D.
Thing is, the original "world" which I import from Photoshop is very large, more than 9000 pixels wide, I don't know if this actually is the problem, but here it goes:
It skips, or hitches, from time to time. I of course want it to run smoothly.
I've tried several things but nothing seems to work:

I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

I'm creating a demo presentation that uses imported MP3 audio and static images basically panning around - simple stuff. I have it broken down into scenes to be more manageable. So at the end of a scene, I'll have this line:
gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 2");
Which works just fine.
The problem is during the playback of the SWF, I get odd skips, generally at the beginning of a scene. Is this expected when using multiple scenes? Is it possibly something to do with the audio playback? I'm trying to make sure the MP3s do not start at exactly the beginning of the scene, but I'm still getting the problem.
Also, are there any tips on including MP3 audio to make things smoother? I'm running at 18 FPS.

I am following a good tutorial here:URl...And it uses the following example file to display an embedded FLV movie:URL...I am having a problem editing the cue points. If I open the compenent inspector for the FLVPlayback, and then open the cuePoints dialog, I should be able to add, remove, or modify cue points. However, I can't edit anything in the dialog at all. It seems locked.The tutorial clearly states you should be able to edit the points.

[URL]In the tutorial, it says I should be able to edit cue points for the FLV video. I open the component inspector and the cuePoints dialog. All the cue points are listed, but it won't let me edit them. They seem ti be locked. I need to be able to edit cuepoints within flash for a linked flv file.
