ActionScript 3.0 :: Detecting PAUSED_STATE_ENTERED From User Rather Than Buffering
Jun 2, 2010
Much to my chagrin, my FLVPlayback video enters the 'pause' state rather than 'buffered' when the bandwidth forces the player to pause. Unfortunately, that's the same state as when a user presses the skin's pause button. Therefore, I can't detect whether the video is paused based on a user action versus a lack of downloaded video data.
That is, I can trigger an event based on either occurance, but I can't tell which caused the video to enter the paused state.
It sounds like others have had this problem as I've caught a couple discussions outside these forums describing how to code around this problem and, well, the descriptions are too sparce for me to code myself.

Is there a way to detect when the user accepts the Privacy Pop-up?
Basically, I'm using the microphone to record a voice message. I'd like to start a countdown timer that tells the user how much time they have to record their voice.
I start the countdown timer on the same event that I call nsPublish.attachAudio(microphone), and the countdown starts immediately, even though the user sees the privacy pop-up.

How can I tell when a user has been idle for say 5 minutes on my Flex app? When I say "idle" I mean the user has not interacted with the application at all.

I am having a problem with correctly detecting a user's camera settings.
If the user has selected "allow" and "remember", then the camera.muted setting is false (not muted)
However, if the user has selected "deny" and "remember", then the camera.muted setting is true. (camera has been muted by the user)
BUT, if the user hasn't selected anything and the "remember" checkbox is unchecked, the camera.muted setting is ALSO TRUE (the camera is again muted, but it's only because someone hasn't "allowed" the camera yet)
Is there a way to differentiate between when a user has chosen to deny a camera forever for a particular site (by checking the "remember" check box) OR when they just haven't allowed the camera in the first place?

I'm working on a project for a client, they want a simple drawing api which requests the user to draw a circle, or a shape on screen. The circle is then analyzed and a Score/Percentage of correction is returned. The drawing I have covered, how to assess the drawn circle against a perfect circle?
My first idea was to put invisible trigger points around the circumference of the shape and check for hit tests when the user is drawing. Another would be to track the dimensions of the left, right, top and bottom most bounding box and then find the radius, or something to that effect.

I am trying to have a local shared object in flash to detect whether a user is a new user or a returning user. If they are a new user I want to do newUser function and if they are a previous user I want to do a previousUser function. This should all be happening on an onEnterFrame.
Here is my code I have so far:
//shared object - cookie
newUser_test = SharedObject.getLocal("newUser");
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "new user";
newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function () {
newUser.text = "new user";
} newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function(){
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "previous user";
newUser_test.flush();
}

In my flex app I have custom tooltips on buttons that hide and show based on user context. The problem that I dealing with is that when I call my showTips() function I only want to show tooltips on the buttons that visible in the view. So buttons that on a un-selected tab (tabNavigator) should not show the tooltips. For some reason all tooltips are showing. Is there a way to detect if a button is not in current view, like on a un-selected tab?

i setup the development versionof fms 3.5 server on windows 2003 server and it worked great in my tests.so we bought the server and are putting it in production now.the only problem is i never "tested" large FLV files.now if i put a large 50+megabytes flv file in the server it constantly buffers on the client.Is there a setting that defines the buffer size to increase the amount of buffer data that gets sent to the client?if i use a small flv file it works flawlessly but for large files it says "buffering" every 2-5seconds on the client.the client is just opening the test page that comes with the server the server has 3000mb/s to the internet and the client has a 20mb/s connection so i don't think bandwidth is an issue...

I'm trying to use NetStream events from an FMS 3.5.4 server but am having trouble. I'd like to simply know when a video is playing, buffering, or idle. I know about Play.Start and Play.Stop, but these can mean the video is playing, or the video is buffering. Buffer.Full and Buffer.Flush can occur when a video is paused, playing, stopped, seeking, etc. I'm scouring over every event I get, but I really see no good way to determine what the exact state of a NetStream is at a given time.

I have a xml video background and need to add a preloader before the video is buffering. The problem is that I am loading the video from xml file and from what I've tried the preloader works for the swf file but not for f4v video loaded externally. You can check the preview here: [URL]. What I've come with is to compress the video so Ill get a smaller file or change the buffer time, but the priority is to come out with the preloader.

I have a buffer bar on my FLVPlayback using the BufferBar component. Is there a way I can set the buffering time before the video plays? I want the video to fully load before it plays on the stage. Actionscript on the stage is below. I have 3 buttons calling on cue points in the video, and I want to buffer the whole video before playing so that when the last button is selected, it will go to the correct point in the video.
import flash.events.*;
import fl.video.*;
display.playPauseButton = play_btn;
function cuePointHandler( event:MetadataEvent ):void

Is there anyway to disable the buffering bar of an FLV?, I have treeview component that shows a video list from which the user has to select a video to play. When i test the movie, the buffering bar starts animating even before the user selects anything from the tree view.
Is there any way to disable the bar ? I am using a pre defined skin from the list of skins.

I'm making a very simple MP3 player in Flash CS4 Professional 10.0.2 that loads a song from an array containing the locations of the songs and plays it. The player also displays the artist and song info name in dynamic text fields as specified in the ID3 section of the MP3 file. It works as desired when I load the MP3 before playing it. This is the relevant portion of the code, highlighted in green to indicate that it functions as I want:
[Code]....
What's odd is that if I comment out the last two lines of the onID3 function, so that the function only performs the trace command that's highlighted in orange, it works! This tells me that it's loading the ID3 information. So why can't it display the information from the currentSong variable?
EDIT: I'm pulling the MP3 files from the same server as the SWF. I would not be pulling them from a remote location!

my question today deals with Flash AS3 video buffering. (Streaming or Progressive) I want to be able to detect when the video is being buffered, so I can display some sort of animation letting the user know to wait just a little longer.
Currently my video will start up, hold on frame 1 for 3-4 secs then play. Kinda giving the impression that the video is paused or broken :(
Update
NetStatusEvent from livedocs. It seems to me that the key status to be working in is "NetStream.Buffer.Empty" so I added some code in there to see if this would trigger my animation or a trace statement. No luck yet, however when the Buffer is full it will trigger my code :/ Maybe my video is always somewhere between Buffer.Empty and Buffer.Full that's why it won't trigger any code when I test case for Buffer.Empty?
public function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{
// handles net status events

i'm developing a web where i want to show a flash on the index page. The flash got 3Mb size. But while it is downloading, i just see a white space where it should be.
I have tried putting an image in the background, but i just see white until the flash is fully downloaded...
I would like to see the first image of the flash, or an static image while it is loading?
im just putting it in the direct way

I'm new to Flex and currently working on the Video Component in Flex. The problem is:Buffering starts only after the specified time. So, if i have specified the Buffer Time to be 2 s, then the video buffers for sometime, gets the data for the 2s and then plays it and then again buffers. The point is it is not buffering in parallel to playing. Is there any way of making this possible in Flex 3? Or is it already there in newer versions of Flex?

I have a VOD application which reads a playlist from an external file and play the video once the previous one is finished. By default, the buffer is set to 2 and once the buffer is full (Netstream.Buffer.FULL) I have another function setting it to 20.
When "Netstream.Buffer.Flush" is triggered I have to set the buffer to 0 and then set it to 2 again.
This application was working fine before I set those buffering stuff. Now the buffer seems to be ok, those videos play suitably but there are some delay when switching between the video which is ending and the video which will begin. I belive there is something wrong when setting the buffer to 0, but if I get it removed, the application does not call the second video..

Just wondering if anyone had a good tutorial for making a buffering video player, with scrubber etc that lets the viewer see how much of the video has loaded whilst they watch it. I've been searching for ages but to of no avail!The kind of thing I'm after can be found at www.hi-res.net on the 'showreel' section in bottom right corner.

I have some videos that are already in FLV format. I embedded them inside a little swf. And I embedded that swf into a bigger swf where everything els is. When a user clicks on a button, it loads the swf with the FLV movie in it...how would you go about buffering a video?

When my streaming videos start they will buffer and begin to play as normal. However, as soon as the vid starts buffering again a problem arises. Basically what is happening is that Flash is buffering the video to a certain point, but instead of resuming playback from the point where the vid paused it now jumps instantly to the end of the newly buffered area without playing the vid portion in between. Which essentially means that it skips merrily through the video and never stops buffering.
