I'm trying to make Windows Media Player style controls into my movie. I know how to do stop, play, and pause already, but I don't know how to do the progress bar. I tried searching in the actionscript help menu. I couldn't find any actions that retrieve total frames in the movie and current frame number.

I have a mp4 file which is to be used in an application. Currently i am in the stage of figuring out the technology to be used for this job. I am familiar with flex and am hoping that i be able to use it for the application. But i can not figure out a way to play the file in flex. I have been able to play the file only in windows media player and that required the installation of three codecs : Mp4Audio.ax, Mp4Video.ax, Mp4Src.ax.
As i see it, it will be very convenient if i could embed a windows media player plugin in flex or i could specify the audio and video codecs in the flash player
I am using Windows 10 media Player SDK and embedded windows media player into my application ( a typical video player with additional functions).In order to play flash files in Windows Media Player, I have the following patch / plugins installed on the same computer
1. Adobe flash player 10
2. Media Player 10
3. ffdshow-rev2265_20081028_clsid.exe
4. osflvsplitter.1.0.0.4_nt.exe
The application typically downloads a xml file (play list) from the designated server and then downloads the list of media available in that list.On successful downloading of the media files, which includes MOV, WMA, DIVX and SWF files, the player is expected to play the playlist continuously and each file once (one after the other).So, my player plays first file - abc.mov, then second file xyz.wma and then the third file klm.swf... and here it stops! It won't go further. The SWF file loops continuously.I have stop() in the last frame of the SWF file though.I am not able to move the player ahead playing other files.
As the title states, is it possible to embed widows media player real player etc into my swf?
View 7 RepliesHow do i open an .avi file directly into windows media player or winamp on button click in flash.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a project that I want to export as a .avi file. I'm using Flash 8. I can go through the steps of exporting the movie fine, but once I try to play it in Windows Media Player, I get this error:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."
I've tried playing it in VLC and DIVX player as well I got similar error messages. This is a time sensative project,
Just installed Windows 7 RC (7100), and got the latest Flash player for IE8 and Opera. My site [URL] has a music player I created that plays (streams) MP3s from a Flash Comm Server I run. The player works fine with Flash Player version 10.0.22.87 on other platforms, but not in Windows 7. Once you pick a song, it should start immediately. Even clicking the play button doesn't work. The symptoms make me think there's a problem establishing the netconnection for streaming.
I've read Microsoft added streaming of some kind in Windows Media Player for Windows 7, could it be interfering?
Can I convert a Flash file to Quicktime or Windows Media Player? If so....how? (Also, is swf the only file format on Flash?) I've been reading I need to download some converter to do this.

View 1 RepliesIs there any documentation link where I can find list of styles applicable to flex controls? In particular the AdvancedDataGridControl. Like border, border-left,top,bottom,indent, etc like list of all possible style elements.
#1: Link provided by Lior below is the complete list.
#2 : found this looks quite cool.
I'm in the middle of making an interactive movie with events within it that act sort of like quick time events, only that there are multiple outcomes, making it sort of like an old "Choose your own adventure" book. I'm certain you can do what I want to do within Flash, but I have no idea how to as the only commands I know in Actionscript are stop(); and play(); and i'm not sure what the (); means, only that I needed it.
However, all I need is some simple commands to make it so that when the viewer hits the "a" or "l" key, the film will advance to another frame. These keys are meant to correspond to two different actions in the film depending on the situation - At one point, to leave through a door or dive through a window, and at another to dodge left or right away from an object. Though there is a third option for when the player does nothing, that should be simple enough to code so it's not a problem.

View 1 RepliesAfter Apple released Safari 5, it seems that even after you focus on the Flash (by clicking on it), Safari still recognizes those commands for itself.

I searched but I didnt find my answer either on Google and StackOverflow (not even a single tutorial on it).I would like to create a rollover highlight on a button, like the windows 7 taskbar. The highlight moves and is function of where the mouse is on the button. I dont want any image on my button (only color gradient) to keep a standard component.

View 2 RepliesBeside Flash Media Encoder, can I use a live stream from Windows Media Services?We have live streaming with Windows Media Server, but now want also offer to mobile devices, but we dont re-encode the entire streams (tvs) again, it would be great if we can use a stream from windows to tunnel it to flash media server.
View 1 RepliesWhile the question may seem fairly basic I seem to be at a loss to actually find anything that fits my needs, which are:
Skinnable (although not 100% required) Controllable through javascript (start, stop, change track)Event triggers for custom functions (on track finish mainly) Actual documentation - rather that 'it can do this, but we wont tell you how' I've tried many of the free and quite a few demo's of the pay for ones. Wimpy Wasp seemed to be the closest to what I need but there is an obsession there with using a custom Windows app to set it up which is impossible as the files are provided dynamically by the sites users and it doesn't look like they want you to be able to create the code yourself.
I have created a movie in Flash CS3 with the FLVplayback control. In the parameters of the control I have set the autohide of the player skin to false. But when I publish my movie to the webserver the controls are still autohiding. I have cleared my cache repeatedly and republished the movie repeatedly, but I can't seem to get the controls to stay up permanently.
I have done this with presentations many times and I have never had this issue before.
The presentation is being shown in IE8 with compatibility view off, although I have tried it with compatibility view on as well.
I'm sure this is a simple thing but I haven't been able to find out out to associate an absolute link with video controls.
View 1 RepliesI can't seem to get the Flash player controls to autohide.If you mouse out of the video very slowly the flash player controls that are over the video will autohide. But if you mouse out quickly the controls stay there.
