I have two swfs on a web page but need them to start playing at the same time. Problem is that one file size is bigger than the other, so one loads before the other and starts playing earlier.
Is there any code that can make a movie wait until the other one has loaded, then start playing in sync?
I've created 5 buttons to load 5 different external swfs into my webpage. I use the following script. How do I unload it when the next button is been clicked. [code]
View 3 RepliesI am trying to set it up so that when someone goes to a page on this site, it plays the audio MP3 and then when that MP3 is completed, refreshes the current browser window with the new page. What I have so far in Actionscript 3 is that it works, but loads new page in a new browser window while the MP3 is still playing.Here is the code I have so far, all in a single KeyFrame.
Code:
var url:String = "url2file/preroll.mp3";
var urlRequest2:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

A rudimentary question from a neophyte. I just want to play some music as part of my swf file and at the end of the song, automatically retrieve a web page. I'm finding a lot of answers for very complex questions, but nothing quite so basic.
View 11 RepliesI'm trying to use an array adapted from AS2 script to load random swfs called "koan_1.swf" or "koan_2.swf" etc into a "koan_loader_mc" on the stage. Each "koan_#.swf" has code in its last frame to both advance the "shuffle" array in the action script in the first frame of the stage and to load the next koan swf. The code below -- almost -- works, but....?
Frame on main stage:
// creates function called at the end of koan_#.swfs
function shuffle(a:Array) {
for (var ivar = a.length-1; ivar>=0; ivar--) {

I didn't find any solution in the past discussions, I want to sync two FLVPlayback in the stage.Now I quickly solved with a Countdown of about 10sec;one can choose a project from a ComboBox and the two FLV play when the countdown reaches 1. That's not the right way as they never play in sync the first time..
I think a BufferingBar can do the job, detecting the end of the buffer. but I don't know the code to add...
This is the code I use with the Countdown:
cb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);function changeHandler(event:Event):void { if(ComboBox(event.target).selectedItem.data != "")

I am sure that this can be done, but can't seem to find it on google or in the forums...I have two swf files that I would like to add into one web page. How do I do this?
View 2 RepliesI have two different .wav loops. One is just the tune, and one is the beat. And when they play together right on each other in sync, it sounds great.I have a button on the stage. I want it so that the tune is playing by itself at first, but when hovering over the button, the beat comes in. And when hovering off the button, the beat disappears. The problem is, I don't know how to keep them in sync. The beat and tune get all off when I make it so that on hover it plays the beat.
View 1 RepliesI need to build a website which shows multiple instruments in a band, being played in sync. Each camera/video block is a different instrument, and played together, they constitute an entire band. I have been searching high and low for ways to do this, and it definitely appears that HTML5 is out. It looks like standard FLV progressive download is out, too, because it's impossible to get 4-8 videos to sync perfectly.
I see on the FMS page that it has some abilities in synching. How would one (conceptually) go about making a webpage where say 4-8 videos begin to buffer, then when ready, play in sync? And they would also need to, when the location is changed, all sync to that location and rebuffer.
The objective is so that the user can mute/solo each video's audio, to remove an instrument(s) from the "mix" at any time.An alternative way of doing this, I think, would be to just put the 4-8 videos together in video editing, and encode this into one video, but have each video's audio track be a separate audio channel. If FMS can do multichannel audio on one video, this might work, if it could mix them in/out individually, as the user requires.
Is there a way to synchronize 2 sound events to play simultaneously? It's vital that they begin at the exact same time (aren't started asyncronously).

Its the one with the Sherlock Homes, when you click on "click to expand" it expands into a bigger size and goes over the HTML content.
I'm about to create some art installation using augmented reality and music. I'd like to implement some kind of sampler in it, but I can't find any way to do it.
It's gonna be a looper, I've got 12 files (each 8 seconds) and I want to play them synchronized - so they must start at the same time. this is example of something similiar to my project[url]... They must be controlled by changing volume (0 means off).
If I have 2 or more swfs on a web page, does anyone know if there is any way via actionscript or javascript or any combination for another swf to trigger something in another swf? This could be as simple as swf #1 changing the value of a variable in swf #2, or telling #2 to gotoAndPlay, whatever.I apologize if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything similar via a forum search, but then I wasn't terribly sure what keywords to search under, either.
View 5 RepliesI am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I have two identical-length videos that I need to stream and play back concurrently while staying in sync. The best I can do so far is keep them about a second apart, but I'm wondering if there's a way to force them to actually stay in perfect sync? Oh yeah: I'm using AS3. (Ideally, I'd just have a series of JPGs instead of the second video and load the relevant image via cuePoint, but that aspect is out of my control.)
Second, what's the best/ideal method of knowing what I can only think of as "percent buffered"? These videos I'm loading are hosted on a Flash Media Server (which I don't have control over or access to, short of loading files from it), and while bytesLoaded/Total works for progressive stuff, I know it doesn't work for streamed stuff. Full disclosure: I know very little about working with serving video in Flash (obvious, I'm sure)(I'm not using the FLVPlayback component.)
I want to play the music file in flash player (which is embedded obviously) by clicking the play button which is in the web page (not in flash player).

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to embed and play a file.flv in a web page ..without having the flv in a file.swf.
View 5 RepliesI have a webpage that I have a video linked to play when a user clicks on it - simple enough. With flv (v9 and below) videos, I have no issues serving it up to the user and them viewing it - with a f4v file this is a different animal, nothing happens, the web page player sits there spinning like it is going to do something and never does, like it cannot read or understand the video file.
how to make f4v videos play in a web page? My flv's are working fine, but cannot seem to get the better compressed f4v's to work right. I do not have DW CS4 or I would have tried to see how the code worked there. I created these videos in Premier Pro and exported via the Adobe Encoder in CS4. The video is beautiful for the same size and quality compared to the hazy flv's, so I really want to use the f4v's, I just cannot seem to get it to work.
I'm trying to play an external .flv in a .swf and embed in a webpage. I feel like I'm doing everything correctly and everytime I create it, it works offline. When I upload all the files online, nothing shows up. When I right click on the live webpage where the file should be playing it sees the swf, it's just playing and/or displaying anything.
View 1 RepliesI have a website that has two flash items on it. I have a swf that calls mp3s that plays on the page load, and I have a FLV that plays on page load. What I would like to happen is: on page load the FLV plays when the FLV Finishes the swf starts to play the mp3s. What already happens is that the pages load in _blank pages so they are in new windows. This is good because while you navigate the site, the music from the homepage is still cycling through the swf's mp3 playlist. The problem comes in when you navigate back to the homepage from a new window, and the homepage is still open within the first window. That means that the video plays over, while the music is playing, and the music doubles up. Now the video playing isn't bad, it's that music is doubling up. Can't it sense itself playing a 2nd instance of itself on another webpage and stop it?
View 3 RepliesI have a mov file that's 157 megabytes. I try running it on my page within a javascript scroller animation and the animation is very choppy and in fact I used css to simulate a mask but the thing doesn't get masked, probably do to the sluggishness of whole page, the page never fully loads, and the movie file makes it nearly impossible to scroll through the page. The file is just too huge. I currently have it embedded as such:
<a href="#">
<object class="im" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="286" width="655">
<param name="src" value="why_eating_dry_fruit_is_unhealthy.MOV">
[code]....
1) Should I convert the mov to swf - that is, is swf a more compatible and appropriate format for seamless integration in html web page?
2) Whichever I choose, how do I reduce the file size - like on youtube where the videos run seamlessly? I plan on using javascript to scroll through a gallery of videos, so I need the videos to not bog down the page.
3) Also, a lot of sites with galleries of videos have an icon that indicates "click to play". Is that part of the video itself or can I just create an image and then when clicked on, the video plays?
I do have Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, if that matters. And if mov file is more suitable, then how can I reduce its file size?
I have an mp4 that is wrapped (or published) by an swf. I have successfully embedded the swf in a web page but when I play the video from the web page the quaility is significantly degraded. Unfortunately I have no control over the internals of the swf so what I would prefer to do is to embed the mp4 rather than the swf. I understand Adobe Flash Player supports mp4 since version 9, but I haven't been able to figure out the html to make this happen. Here is the code I am currently using with the swf.[code]...

View 2 RepliesIn my scenario, a user visits my webpage and is prompted to select a Music folder on her local filesystem. The web app crawls the folder and indexes it, reading all the metadata from the songs.After a few moments, the index is presented in the page's HTML and the user chooses a song to play.I can't expect to do this with pure Javascript, can I? I imagine I'll have to rely on a heavyweight object (an embedded Flash movie, a Java Web Start, an AIR app, or a Silverlight app) to scan the files and play them.
I feel confident that I could do this with a clunky Java Web Start; but is it possible with an embedded Flash movie? I'm trying to make the process as clean and streamlined as possible for the user.How should I proceed?Which framework can make this dream a reality?And how many permissions screens will the user be forced to wade through?
I'm loading (and unloading) external swfs into a holder in my main document. However, they seem to load perfectly the first time, but after that, they load at a different x and y. I've seen this happen before in someone else's file, but I'm not sure what the solution is.
This is the bare bones of it:

sceneHolder.x=0;
sceneHolder.y=0;

Okay so I am trying to load external swfs which load videos dynamically.
I can load the swfs into the parent fla fine (if I remove all the code and just place a circle or something on the stage of the swf), and the swfs are also loading their respective videos correctly. But when I try to load the external swfs, if they contain any casting related code in them, I'm getting an error
[AS]TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at swf1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[/AS]
Is there some specific method to casting within external swfs?
My code for loading the videos is this:
[AS]var vc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
vc.connect(null);
var vs:NetStream = new NetStream(vc);
