ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding Bunch Of F4Vs Combined Into SWF
Sep 20, 2011
Is there any way to combine a bunch of F4V's into a SWC or SWF and then load them via actionscript? I tried FZip with a bunch of F4V's, but when I get to loader.loadBytes(), it comes back with an error -
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.
Essentially, I just want to collect all of my media into a single external file that I can then pull stuff from - pngs and videos - preferably keeping the video in F4V/H.264, but not necessarily required.
Why can't I get my FLVs and F4Vs to play out of a browser window but they'll play out of explorer through the Adobe Media player?Once I convert them to be SWFs, they play out of a browser but they're still humungous and take a lot of time to play. 400Mgs as an FLV/F4V and 200Mgs as a SWF. Is there a way to shrink them down to a much smaller file size? These were video recordings of long presentations.
I create FLVs and F4Vs and then use CS4 to create an SWF to stream them. Everything works well from my hard drive. I upload all the files to a server, the skin appears, but a green animated bar just scrolls endlessly - which I believe means the FLV/F4V is not loading. I try this on about 5 different servers and get the same problem on each - so I'm not sure I can call my hosting service and request "changing the mime-type" will solve the problem.
The path to the video appears to be relative - that is, I can copy my exported files to any folder on my local drive and the video plays. Its just when I upload it that it stops working.
Over the past couple of years, I'd been told by numerous techs at 1&1 that they supported Streaming for FLVs, and I'd planned to make streaming videos a mainstay in my website.Now, as I went to implement that, I learned that this was a 'miscommunication' and that they do not actually support streaming, or no longer support it if they had in the past.
So I'm trying to find out if there's a cost effective way to stream videos for my website or if I'm better off just using the regular progressive downloads. The site I'm building is based on the Gaia framework, and on several pages (between 5 and 10), a video will begin when the visitor arrives at that page. I'll also have an expanding number of videos that can be played by clicking on various buttons. Videos (including lots of 3d animation) will range from 30 seconds to roughly 10 minutes.
Flash CS4, I have an f4v vid on one layer and another f4v vid on a second layer. the films do not overlap on the timeline. I have a button to goto the layer with the second f4v. All works fine however when I go to the second fv4 the first one continues to play which i obviously need to stop.
If I have a couple of animations in a single folder, it doesn't look like there is a way to animate the folder as a whole, so is it possible to group all the animations somehow and animate that?
So in Actionscript 3 and Javascript, to get touch events working for mobile devices I have to listen for ontouch events... However, touch events not fired on desktop. However, mouse events are triggered on both mobile AND desktop. My quesion is this: why does w3 have this spec
Wouldn't it make sense to have just to use the onmouseevent? In order to have things work on mobile and desktop I always have to listen for both events-bviously this causes issue on mobile devices because two events are fired when i press the screen (meaning that I have to do a bunch of conditional checking to add/remove event)
My initial thoughts were that multi-touch would be the main reason... But couldn't the design just have some parameter of the event like .touches? That could go along with the .pressure, .finger width, etc... maybe a .type = "touch" or .type="mouse"
I'm currently working on a project where i use SWFObject to include a flash header (some fire animation). Also I'm using jQuery for serveral animations and effects on the page, like Imagesliders and hovering effects.The problems I got:high CPU usage: about 50% on a Intel Q9550 low frame rates of jQuery animations due to the high CPU usage.The flash animation seem to stuck when i trigger any jQuery animations or effects.I tried to remove serveral jQuery animations and simplify the page, but also with only an hover menu, the flash animation stucks and the jQuery animations are laggy when hovering the menu.The only browsers where my page runs smooth are Chrome and Opera, but only with high CPU usage. FF3&4 and IE7-9 produce bad frame rates all time.I tried to reduce the jQuery internal fx interval, that seems to help, but the animations were not smooth any more. Am I the only one having this issue, i could not find any other postings here with that topic?!url...We changes the graphic card of the computer, from a GeForce 8400GS to a 8800GT. After that, the animation run smooth. I never thought that it would be the graphic card ^^
The quick question is I can only get this to play sound once - then it won't do it again I am making a math game for my young kids - it adds numbers from 1 to 5 the variables A & B are randomly generated and make C
The sound reads out a string A + plus + B + equals + C (5 sound files)It does this the first time the flash is played, however, when the flash movie goes back to the previous frame, and generates new variables - it will not play the sound files anymore.
I am a actionscript beginner trying to create a form using components in as3, am creating a booking form that combines the totals of each item using the checkbox component when selected and displays them within a text field.I have also tried to convert the values using .toString() method with no success. Here is the current script;
// Setting default values for the Textfields hTotal_txt.text = ("0"); sTotal_txt.text = ("0");
I am using a TileList control with an effect sequence linked to the itemsChangeEffect property.[code]...
However, my data provider is a ListCollectionView that I use to filter items. When I set a filter criteria, it will hide a couple of items from the TileList but there is no animation like when I remove an item. Is there a way to animate the TileList when an item is filtered ?
I have a single point and a set of shapes. I need to know if the point is contained within the compound shape of those shapes. That is, where all of the shapes intersect.But that is the easy part.If the point is outside the compound shape I need to find the position within that compound shape that is closest to the point.These shapes can be of the type:squarecirclering (circle with another circle cut out of the center)inverse circle (basically just the circular hole and a never ending fill outside that hole, or to the end of the canvas is there must be a limit to its size)part of circle (as in a pie chart)part of ring (as above but lineThe example below has an inverted circle (the biggest circle with grey surrounding it), a ring (topleft) a square and a line.
If we don't consider the line, then the orange part is the shape to constrain to. If the line is taken into account then the saturated orange part of the line is the shape to constrain to.The black small dots represent the points that need to be constrained. The blue dots represent the desired result. (a 1, b 2 etc.)Point "f" has no corresponding constrained result, since it is already in the orange area.For the purpose of this example, only point "e" is constrained to the line, all others are constrained to the orange orange area.
I was reading this tutorial: http:[url].....and saw an external link to this website http:[url]..... which uses this effect. But they have this maximize button on each mini-window.How do the manage to create the start drag on mouse down COMBINED with the button in the top right corner?
I need to take a bunch of movieclips from the stage and dynamically store them all together in a separate swf on my computer. Is that possible? how do i do it??
i am working on a flex+java combined project.My IDE and computer configuration is as follows:
[Code]...
When i make a small change in Flex code (eg, reposition of a button...anything), and run the project on server, it does make any change on output. Actually it depends on my luck... because it makes change in output randomly.what is is happening? tried rebuild, republish, clean , restart server, restarting the IDE, restarting the computer all available feature i could think. Also, i created a simple flex project on IDE and compiled it..... everything is compiled and displayed on output.
So what im planning to do is load a whole bunch of images at once. Flash doesnt know how many images it will load though, so this is what im thinking.. PHP Code: var l:Loader = new Loader(); var urlreq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]" + i + ".jpg"); l.load(urlreq); if (AN ERROR HAPPENS meaning the url is invalid){ //Stop and continue with operations } else { //Do stuff with the loader and image } How would I check to see if the loader has an invalid url?
How would I sort a bunch of XML nodes? I don't necessarily need to change the existing structure, but I do need to iterate through in a specific order. In AS2 I would use the childNodes array and use Array.sort.
I have a bunch of objects that are dragable. You click and hold the mouse button to drag them around, then release the mouse button to put them back down. The problem is that when an object is dragged so that another object is between it and the mouse cursor, and the mouse button is released, the object gets stuck to the cursor. Clicking and releasing the mouse button is the only way to drop the object. Is there any way to fix this? Or, better yet, is there a way to make it so an object is immediatelly moved in front of every other object when it's clicked on?
i cant seem to get a bunch of different buttons to work at once.this is a pretty complicated movie but the buttons are all simple.heres what i need.a next and previous frame button at the bottom
3 play button links that need to show a movie. (i was thinking of just using gotoandstop and having three frames at the end of the timeline for these movies, but if theres a way to just have the flv start playing ontop of the current frame on release that would be better.and the last thing is just some links to external urls from buttons made of ads and what not within the magazine.now i know how to make all these work by themselves but when i add the code for all these nothing works.i'll attach the .fla as well as an .swf.
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 want to create a plain html website with a flash menu and posibly a slideshow, i am looking for a full tutorial to see an example of how its been done before.
I used a sample of macromedia to get a XML file with the names to the swf files i want to import in the stage. That works (for now). But now i also want to at a link (using getURL();) to the movieclip where the swf file is placed.
PS. i used gallery_tween.fla from the sample folder if someone wants to know...
I'm basically trying to make a bunch of particles jump around. I've used the draw tools to draw a small red puff. When you click the puff shoots up from the cursor a few pixels before falling down.
how to call the information from this .as file in another file. This way I will take out the click functionality from the file I have done and have the puffs shoot out automatically at the mouseX and mouseY coordinates.
I eventually want to have these puffs shoot out from a character as it runs across the screen in a game I have planned. It will make it much easier to have these puffs called from a seperate file I believe.
