ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloading Large FLVs Inside Of A Swf?
Jul 31, 2010
I have a client that I have developed a trailer for their project. Its a swf and at certain keyframes large videos play, the my listener tells the time line to continue on its path, and eventually hits a new large video.These videos are not playing very well for the client, when they start typically they stutter.Client is mad now and I need a solution. I am using actionscript 2.0 . How can I have each flv loadup all the way before it starts playing so it'd be smooth. I was hoping there would be a plugin or something I could buy that would show a loading bar and then have it go.

I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction as I don't have much time for trial and error...I have a bunch of FLVs that have a large file size that I would like to compress and resize...what would you recommend as the best software or method of doing so without losing too much quality?

I've searched around and havent really found anything definitive about this. Im trying to preload five flv files and then get them to play one after the other with as little pause in between as possible. Im thinking I might need to create five netstreams and then pause them, check to see if theyre loaded, start playing then first when they are with the others hidden, then after flv one is done show the container for flv two, etc. Ive done a test and I still get a bit of a jump in between flvs. Has anyone done then and got it to work without that hiccup?

I've built loads of preloaders in AS2 before. However I never ecountered so many problems as now. I'm confused about many things with preloading in AS3. This is my layout:I have a single frame on the first scene of my movie. The main content is inside a movieClip called container, placed on frame 1 of my next scene, which inherits from the class that holds the main code to initialize the game.(I read that this way my code will not try to access any movieClips, or sprites before they have been loaded... as they are not actually referenced from a document class).However my 1st frame where I have my preloader takes ages to load... My first question is... Does this happen because the loading procedure is different now? Or has it always worked like this... so that would mean that as I have many heavy assets in my library that are meant to load on frame 1. (Exported for actionscript in properties).I have a blank movie for a while. I'm using a simple code:
stop()
import flash.events.*;
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PRO GRESS, Loading);
[code].....

I have one .swf that references several FLVs in a separate folder. That .swf is embedded several times on one webpage and each one references a different video.My only problem is that they all load when the page loads. I would like the first video to load automatically (not play automatically, just load) and the rest to only load when they are clicked.I have been trying to control the buffering with JavaScript where the .swf are embedded but have been unsuccessful.I have also fooled around with the buffer time parameter of the FLVPlayback component and still no luck.

I have a Flash CS3/AS2 project containing swfs with FLVs. When I Publish the "START.fla" which pulls all the files together, I tell Flash to create a "Projector" for Mac and an "EXE" for Windows. On my (OS X) desktop this Projector thing works perfectly...swfs open from a menu in my GUI, the swfs reference flvs and the flvs play. The swfs are in the same folder as their flvs.
If I put this whole folder full of files over to the WinXP box (via shared folder), double click on the EXE - no flvs will appear. Everything "leading up to" an flv works - but where there should be a video there is none. Moving on I burn the project onto a CD. When I open the CD on the Mac and find the Projector - I double click and it still works great. Everything flawless.
I put that same CD into the WinXP (SP3) box, find the EXE and double click. As I expected - no improvement, the GUI opens,the swfs can be launched from the menu, but no flvs appear. I get the swf that references the flv - but no flv. I even waited extra time thinking it would eventually happen. No. Why it should work on Mac and not on XP? Where should I look for the glitch?

I am having an issue with setting CuePoints in a FLV that is not natively FLV. My code works on files that were exported directly from AfterEffects to .FLV. However, some of the video files I am working with are originally .MOV files. When I pass them through either Adobe or Flash Media Encoder, the CuePoints are not recognized. It seems very strange.
Here is the code, although the code works perfectly with native FLVs, so I don't think that is the problem. I'll put it on here just in case.
Code:
myFLVPlayBack.onRollOver = function () {
playHover.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

How to play flv's from Action Script2 one after another? Let's say I have 3 clips .flv. And I want to play them one after another.
In case I'm writing this:
myFLVPlybk.contentPath = "1.flv";
myFLVPlybk.contentPath = "2.flv";
myFLVPlybk.contentPath = "3.flv";
Only the last clip is playing actually. How can I implement "one after another"?

i need to play two FLVs continuously one after the other - you might think it's an easy task, but every time i try to do that there is this annoying gap between the videos that flickers, and it's have to be seamless.the ON_COMPLETE event worked poorly, so im sampling the playheadTime of the first FLV and test it for it's end, minus a certain offset value.. but the lag is still there.i ever rewrote the FLVPlayback component to my own NetStream object extending, hoping it will take less run-time memory consuming but noting...and the thing is,the lag sometimes happens, and sometimes don't..when trying to sample the gap it brings me different values every time, but there is no way to correct it,because changing the playheadTime causing a random, few milliseconds lag itself, and we are back to square one..

implement closed captioning into my FLVs. I have successfully set up the FLVplayback component, and the FLVplaybackCaptioning component to work. That's not the issue. The issue is, once I have my swf, flv, and xml files (needed to successfully use CC in a FLV), I need to insert that .swf into my captivate project.
It appears to insert/import OK, but once I publish the project, the swf does not appear, and in fact the FLV icon sits on the slide rapidly blinking. Neither the video plays, nor can I even see the playback component/closed caption component (swf) that holds the FLV.
All paths are relative, so the only things I can think of that may be causing the issue are:
a)Captivate doesn't support CS3 FLVPlayback or
FLVPlaybackCaptioning components
b)Since Captivate allows importing of FLV files directly, running the FLV through the component's swf is a problem
c)The hierarchy of files needed for the Closed Captioning FLV (xml, flv, swf), interfere with compiling the new Captivate .swf
upon publishing I've also been told that the FLV captioning component only works in Actionscript 3.0 which runs on Adobe Virtual Machine 2.Captivate publishes .swf files using Actionscript 2.0 which runs on Adobe Virtual Machine 1. Therefore, what I need to do will not work.

I have five videos that play on command when you click one of five buttons. I want to make two enhancements to this script and I need an expert's help (because clearly I'm clueless!).
#1 - Even though I have the vidPlayer (aka flvPlayback component) setting set to "true" for autoplay, the area where the videos are set to play remains blank until clicking on one of the buttons. How can I get the first video to truly "autoplay"?
#2 - I would like to have the videos play in sequential order when the last video is finished, then stop after the last (fifth) video has played. How can I get them to play back-to-back?[code]...

I have single FLV file which is quite big. I want to encrypt it and decrypt but it takes too long. My best idea was to split video into smaller videos using third party software and apply my encrypting and decrypting functions to each one separately. Unfortunately I have a problem with gaps between loaded FLV files. Video has to be smooth without any pauses.

I made a video player that plays through flv videos one after another for an in-store display. My problem is that volume levels between flvs are very different, one flv volume levels would be louder than other flvs vice versa.So I'm thinking if I could equalize the volume levels using sound channel but have no idea where to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to properly adjust/equalize volume levels so they all sound the same?

I'm tasked with creating a site that runs full-screen video in the background at all time. I have it set up in XML in "batches" of 10-second clips that correspond to navigation sections. Currently the video just selects a random clip out of that batch once the current video has stopped playing, so it gets a random chain of videos.Of course, when it gets onto the crappy server, my framerate plummets (first disappointment) and i get a little pause in between clips (second disappointment). What I'd like to do is start loading the videos once you get to the site and hope that they're cached by the time they come up. My first thought is to put those batches into shuffled arrays rather than pulling them randomly at load, so I can at least have a predictable order.

I am creating a flash "video jockey" station. I have 9 videos that are different parts of a song. Each video is loaded upon the loading of the swf with a volume of 0 . When the buttons given are pressed, they unmute and expose the video. I have it set to a 36 second loop. I have coded in a rewind for each video. When I export it for html, the rewind and play no longer matches up. I feel like there may be a simpler way to code what I am doing, and a way to say that all videos should match up based on their location within their 36 second play time. I have included the actionscript3 I have written for two of the videos. Imagine this with 9 total videos and background music all having the same rewind function.
stop();
import fl.video.*;
var pb:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
pb.source="videoOne_2.flv";

Any input on precaching multiple flv's at once to make sure they all play properly at once? Fairly small filesizes/resolutions/compression all around. I'm open to ideas. I plan on using a preloader to go from 0 to 100 as the videos precache.

a lot of the details and actionscript for my project were dealt with in another thread[URL].. what I would like to do is use buttons to jump between videos that are being fed to flvplayback, I have the actionscript skills of a rural victorian coal miner, fortunately I have the drive and bloody mindedness of a rural victorian coal miner so hopefully these things should balance out.
the action scrip I have scrawled for my button so far is as follows...
function introductionHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void{ // load given movie videoIndex = 0;}introduction_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,introductionHandler );

I have a list of flvs that are selectable with buttons and I would like to add cue points to the individual videos to trigger other events and I'm afraid my skills are lacking here.How do I target an flv in a list to add cue points and how do I target these cue points to trigger movie clips?

After wrestling this flash flv slideshow for the last few days, I finally have it running smoothly locally. The problem is that on a server it has serious issues. I see a blank screen where the flv should be... I assume it's still loading or buffering. That's a problem as is, but when it's in this state, nothing else works on the site (flash site-one swf). If you wait for sometimes 10 minutes the flv finally shows and the site works great. All of this obviously depends on the connection.
So I understand that this could be caused by the size of the 10 flvs. I'm using the FLVplayback component by the way. So that's fine for now, but I just want a preloader at the beginning to only go to frame 2 after the intro flv has been loaded. I thought this would be simple using bytesTotal and bytesLoaded. I was wrong. Below is the code I'm using. When you view the page the preloader seems to work, but after it runs - you are directed to the second frame... showing the "skip intro" button (which doesn't exist on the 1st frame)... but the flv doesn't show. It's actually still loading... 5-10 minutes later it shows up and the site works fine. My preloader isn't showing the progress of the flv load.
You can see what I'm talking about by viewing my project... if you're on a connection like mine you won't be seeing much: [URL]
Does anyone know of a preloader specifically for FLVs... maybe one that reads the buffer progress?

play a number of FLV files at the same time on one SWF? Basically I have a brief to create a video banner with a number of FLVs of people playing at the same time but starting at different points in the videos. My concerns are with loading times, memory consumption and the starting of each FLV at a different point and looping it.

I'm creating a Flex application that enables users to communicate in a kind of video chat room. I only allow to live streams at any given moment. I'm using FMS to record the videos in FLVs. What I need to do is post process those videos and create a single video with all that happened in the video room. That means that I need to combine 2 videos, reduce the size of one of them so it appears over the other one. In other words one video will use the whole space an the other will appear at the upper left corner (over the other video,).
I need a server side solution for this. I created another post here and someone suggest a screen capture solution. That would work perfectly, but since this appliction will be used for several people and any time, I want the process to be automaticaly not manual. So, I'm thinking I can do it with FFMPEG, but I need a way to identify in which order I need to compose the videos. Something like adding a time stamp to each FLV in FMS (when they are recorded). How can I add custom metadata to the FLV?
