ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Video Rewind Button?
Jul 14, 2009
I'm using the FLVPlayback component and I need a rewind button. I don't want it to go back to the beginning of the video, only go back a couple of seconds everytime the button is pressed.
I am creating a video player with my own buttons, play stop are easy, but I can't for the life of me get it to rewind or start again (not loop). It may be worth noting that the flash video is store within a movie clip! The flv instance is flv_close and the movie instance is mv_close.
I am building a video player and would like to have a forward and rewind button. I was looking at tutorials and it seems like none of them have this. Is there a reason for this?
I need to remove any ability for the visitor to rewind the video, I need a button that will only come up at the end of the video that will be a link to another page.Is this something I would build from scratch? Does anyone know of a way I can satisfy these requirements with an existing player?
I have been asked to use a lady who stays still but then when you rollover a button her arms moves to that button, I have looked everywhere for some answers but just can't find a single example of one.
Sounds so simple, but I have been trying to sort this for ages and just can't make it work properly
I am fairly new to Actionscripting and brand new to this forum. I hate to start out desperate but I am. Let me set the stage: I created a 7 scene swf in CS3 Actionscript 2.0 and have integrated (under excruciating trials) a voiceover tract (mp3) that is perfectly timed. Now, I have been asked to put in controls so that viewers/listeners can STOP / REWIND / PLAY the swf. After numerous trys I finally got the following script to play the audio with the video:
I done a flash presentation for that using a FLV video file. I link that in flash component (flv player) & with that video time I play text contains as per there time in moviclip then create a play/stop button & control the movie & video. Now I want to forward & rewind on button. How I do that.
I want to replay a flash video by clicking on a "replay" button. I know how to creat the buttons. I can't figure out how to create the action script.I know how to create the Action Script to replay flash, but when I have a flash video that I want to replay that's when I run into trouble.
I am having Fast-Forward and Rewind Functionality in my Custom Video Player, Which I done by calling seek method on regular interval.which works fine. but for same cases , the video playHeadTime get changed , but the frame does not change with that, and video's playHeadTime and Frame does not come with sync.
I am doing a postcard flip and would like to rewind my timeline when a button is released. I tried to modify the complexbutton but didn't really get the effect that I was after.
What I am trying to do 1) when the movie opens, I have an arrow to the right, what I want to happen is, when it is clicked, the movie plays and stops at the last frame, easy enough.
2)When the movie is on the last frame there is another button, and when that one is clicked, I want thee movie to reverse. It can't be that hard, can it?
function forwardfunction(event:MouseEvent):void[code]....
I have a strip of pictures that moves from left to right when user clicks "forward" button, pauses when the "pause" button is clicked and rewinds when "rewind" button is clicked.My problem is that after rewind cycle is complete, none of the buttons work again. Also, while in rewind mode, pause button does not pause it.I also had if and else statements for rewindfunction as
Code: if (port_mc.currentFrame == 1) { port_mc.stop();[code]....
I made a vertical list of thumbnails and converted them into a movie clip. There is a total of 20 thumbnails. I masked the movie clips so that it only shows 5 thumbnails at a time. I created keyframes at every point in the clip that 5 thumbnails are shown so that I can pause it.I was trying to use this code to scroll down from the first set of 5 to the second:
on (release) { design_thumbnails.gotoAndPlay (20) }
When I click the button nothing happens I'd also like to know how to rewind the movie so that when I press the up arrow it goes up to the previous set of 5.

I was told that putting code on buttons is bad practice now. So, I'm trying to move my button codes to my main actionscript frame. I did it find with the play and stop/pause buttons. However, the rewind and forward buttons are proving more difficult How would the code look if I transferred it from my button to my actionscript frame I'll post the code I have right now in my rewind button.
I would like to create an image sliding effect using next and previous buttons. For example the sliding images on the homepage here: http:[url]....I know this is not in flash, but that's the effect I'm trying to create using flash.
I followed the help quoted below. However, when I press the Previous button to rewind the timeline, the movie clip does not stop. For example, if I am on image 3 in the slider and press the previous button...instead of going to image 2, it slides all the way back to image 1 without stopping.
Quote: ActionScript 2:Notice how, in the link to the example, all of the images/slides are the same size. Create a few of those before you begin.
1. Convert each image/slide to it's own Movie Clip, so that you can go always go back and adjust them if needed....as well as other useful reasons.
2. You only need 2 layers for now, Actions & Container. On frame1, add a stop action to the frame on your actions layer. Then, place all of your Movie Clips on the stage, on the Container layer. Line them up horizontally, edge-to-edge. Select them all and convert to a Movie Clip named "container".
3. On the Container layer, Insert A Keyframe > move the Container Movie Clip to the left so that the next slide is now in place on the stage > Right click in between the two Keyframes and choose "Create Motion Tween". You should have the animation from slide 1 to slide 2 now. Repeat this process for 2 -3, 3-4, 4-5 ......(don't worry about the reverse!)
4. We need to create buttons to go to the next and previous slide. Make a new layer called Buttons. Create 2 buttons, one for Next and one for Previous. These can be Movie Clips OR Buttons, just place them on the stage give one an instance name of "next_btn" & "prev_btn" (no quotes) for the other.
5. All that's left is to add some actions to a few frames on the Actions layer.
a) Add a stop action to every frame where the slide will be static (still), you should already have one on the first frame from step 2.
b) Now here's where the magic happens. If we test the movie now, the slides will just play and over. So add this code to the frame 1 on the Actions layer:
Code: stop();//already have this stop action, just add the below this.onEnterFrame = function(){[code]....
Problem is that my rewind and fast forward buttons do not work properly in the sense that they start to mess up when you fast forward or rewind past the current scene. It seems to just skip through the whole movie and totally mess up the animation.the code for the controls is on a single layer and reads as the following:
i have to generate a button dynamically... and have to keep a click handler for the same how to write script for clicking buttonim using following code for creating button dynamically
The stop button plays as expected. The play/pause button plays as expected. The issue is when you press pause which will cause the play button to appear, then press stop. the video automatically plays and it shouldn't. I have bolded the control button script for convenience.
I have created my first flash video and wish to allow the visitors to play the movie themselves instead of having the movie play automatically also have a stop or pause button too.
I'm creating a video gallery and i have some issues because i'm new ot action script.I have a gallery.swf which loads into main swf. this gallery has thumbnails that link to the video.So the issu is the following:When i roll over the thumbnails, I would like to show the name and the description of the video and if i click on it, it should load the video.I was wondering if there is a way to do this dynamically with xml instead of working on every thumbnail button ans linking it to its video.
I am extremely new to Flash (using CS4) and want to create flash videos for display in web pages. I have used a few of the wizards and have gotten some rough, very amateurish looking results, but at least they work. I owuld now like to create a more professional looking product that has a nice looking player skin, a thumbnail preview that is typically included, and some sort of "Click to Play" button.
The problem: I have to create a Flash video (in CS3) that will query a MySQL database and display that data at certain points in the video. I've divided this project into two parts: a.) dynamically generate an XML feed from the data using PHP (using an ID number passed in the URL's query string), and b.) be able to work with it in Flash. I've got the first part working, but am pretty lost in Flash. I can parse the XML, but I'm not sure how to set the data up as variables and attach it to a video's cue points.
I would like to create a div overlay over videos in a html page. (Google Ads in YouTube). The videos could be embedded YouTube videos, or from any other source. Any ideas on how to do this? I have done a similar task of overlaying divs on images but never did for videos.
I'm new to flash. I'm trying to create a swf of a video with scrubber and at a certain point through the video the web address pops up and is clickable. I have tried embedding the flv within the timeline but it warns me that things could get out of sync.
i really need something to begin a Video Player development. Can you show me any arcticle or tutorial explaining how I should proceed? As a matter of fact I simply need a manner to change the source file whenever o click on a different button.
