ActionScript 3.0 :: Building Custom Flash Video Scroller?
Oct 12, 2010
Building a custom skin for a flash video player but I do not want any play pause button. Instead I want the video scroller to play and pause on a click event. Problem is I want to change the graphics on the scroller to show the user when the video is paused and being played? I have attached the video player FLA file.
My client wants to distribute a video to some people, specifically car dealers, but he doesn't want the video to end up on Youtube or something like that. Therefore he wants the recipients of the video to be able to see it only once. My idea to implement this is:Generate a unique key per viewerSend each viewer a link to a page with a Flash based video player, with their key in the URLHave Flash get the video from the server. On the server the key is checked and the file sent (using php's readfile or something equivalent).Then the key is invalidated.I was thinking this wouldn't take more than a day to build.I know that if you want somebody to be able to play something, you implicitly give them the power to record it as well, but the client just wants me to make it as hard as possible.
So I have a working Flash player using Cloudfront, AS3, NetConnection & NetStream. Works with a FLV, but I need it to work with MP4s. It connects to the stream, and outputs the following:
I could contact about building a custom live Flash media encoder for our website. We have a database for authentication and a list of upcoming events with stream information (FMS URL and Stream Name) that we want to automate into an encoder. Currently we have our customers use Flash Media Live Encoder and copy/paste the values into the encoder, but would prefer a solution that is more tightly integrated with our site
I'm currently building a custom flv player and need some help. Maybe I'm missing something, I'm not sure. The main problem is that the FLV doesn't load/play, which most likely causes the secondary problems, such as the bufferClip always visible and no way to test the video and audio scrubbers.
I am creating an AIR app. In this app there's a need to copy a folder from a fixed known localtion C:xyz to app:/. I would like to know how can I do this copying before compilation/build so that they get packaged when I run the 'Export Release Build'
I'm trying to get a video (flv) or an swf video player to work on Facebook walls, however no matter what I do - facebook posts the raw fbml and ignores the code.
Something I've been struggling with and can't seem to figure out. What I want for a system is to create several components, BUT each with their own timeline. For instance for a quiz, I want a number of answerbuttons. But each one should have their own appearance, preferably on a timeline. However these should be components, seeing their 'answerbutton'-logic should be the same over all buttons (apart from their answerbutton-index, set in the Component Parameters).
I want to make a MC that holds various Data such as textfields images maybe a video, ect just basic content, so i want to put that into a MC and be able to scroll it. But i cant figure out how to do this, no tutorials on the internet. And i dont want to use the UIScroller and Scrollpane components as they are highly unnatractive.. It is for a touch enabled device so maybe a gesture could be used? But im sure a Mouse Event would work,
I've created a simple scrolling thumbnails movieclip, with movement based on interacting with the timeline of the MC rather than its position based on the mouse position.
Although the timeline is activated when one moves their mouse to either end of the thumbnail panel, I wanted to include a scroll bar to show how far up or down the user had scrolled.
Now, I wanted to know whether I could make that scroll bar interactive, and drag to change the frame number. The scroller is a motion tween that moves from the top to the bottom of the scroll bar in sync with the thumbnails. Can I make the bar dragable, and tell it to move through the frames as it is dragged up and down?
I wanna design a custom scroller kinda like the on... [URL] (right below the word welcome) I don't want to use the dull custom built in version MX provides cause lets face it, its ugly! and I'd like it to be linked to an external text document. I see this all over the place, so I'm pretty sure this is possible! Point me towards a tutorial or post an .fla with an example or something, I'm guessing a few other people may be interested too!
I'm trying to make an XML driven popout menu (click a menu item to open its submenu) and have run into a snag. I haven't figured out how to "hide" elements that aren't supposed to be on the screen.The menu is constructed completely out of TextFields based on the structure of a simple XML file. I added Event Listeners to each of the TextFields but I can't figure out how to make those TextFields go away when they are not supposed to be seen.
I have tried to add each TextField onto a common DisplayObject and the use container.removeChild to remove the TextFields that shouldn't be there but I keep getting errors telling me that the target of removeChild must belong to the caller. So how do I manage the visibility of menu items based on mouse clicks in a menu?I've attached the specific AS file (SOMAMenu.as) that handles the menu if anyone finds that helpful.
I have created a custom multiline item renderer for mx:Tree component. Important to mention that my item renderer has two UITextFields in it. Sometimes (depends of the input data) only one of UITextFields must be shown, so when second UITextField is not needed I hide it and recalculate the height of my item renderer. According to my tests height is calculated properly.The problem occures when I do scroll of my tree. The error text is:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at mx.controls::List/adjustVerticalScrollPositionDownward()[E:dev4.0.0frameworksprojectsframeworksrcmxcontrolsList.as:1042]
I have been following all the wonderful tutorials in this forum to learn about AS and flash. This time I tried to combine 2 tutorials and make a text field with external loaded text and custom scroller button, but I failed.....
I tried to look for different tutorials to find the answer, but It didn't work out either...
Is it possible to load videos in a scroller ( just like text scroller) and when the play button is clicked it starts playing( say there are 10 videos and I have to put them in two columns and in five row).
I am importing a video into Flash using the wizard.When I get to the screen that asks about the skin for the controls, I choose custom and then type the URL:..for my player.When I try to upload the SWF that is generated, the player doesn't show up.I have checked the component inspector and see that the URL is indeed saved there and if you go to the URL of the custom player SWF, it loads.
Building a custom skin for a flash video player but I do not want any play pause button.stead I want the video scroller to play and pause on a click event.Problem is I want to change the graphics on the scroller to show the user when the video is paused and being played? thought this would be easy but I have been tearing out me hair to get it too work.
I realize this is probably an old thread, but does anyone have an actionscript example of how to create a custom start and stop time for a Flash video? In other words I'd like to be able to "bracket" the play time of a Flash video with custom start and stop times rather than start at the beginning and end at the end.
I'm using NetStream class to create p2p video conferension. Is it possible to add overlay pictures or animation into video captured from webcam and then send reencoded stream to other user?
Does anyone know how to embed a custom video player into the Google Plus' Stream?You can share videos by uploading, via YouTube, or from your phone, but you can also embed the Vimeo player into the stream, for instance, by just dropping the Vimeo video's URL into the Stream.I assume Google is parsing the markup of the URL for specific meta so that it can render it as a video, much like you can do with Facebook's Open Graph:
I'm trying to figure out how to get the name of the current file being played using a flash 8 video player (custom). Here's the code im using :

How does flash know which video is currently being played? Basically I want to set it up so that there is a 'activeVideo' varible that updates based on what video is currently being played.
I am trying to build a vertical slide scroller based on a tutorial for a horizontal slide scroller and am having difficulties undertanding what values I need to change in the code for the slider mc in order to make it work. The horizontal slider is quite smart [code]
my problem is that if you go over the menu text above my scroller it controls the scroller. I wan this areas movement to have no effect on the scroller below. is there a way to script my scroller to set it to this?
I would like to use it as a horizontal scroller for an image gallery. Just to clarify a horizontal dragger and a horizontal stage motion for image viewing.
fscommand("allowscale", "false"); bar.useHandCursor = dragger.useHandCursor=false; space = 20;
