I was working through the example AS code in Adobe's documentation[url]..
Usually, when working with video, I use the FLVPlaybackComponent, but for this project I don't really need any fancy skins/features, I just need to load and play an external video.
Anyway, I have a .MP4 video that when I right-click and look at its properties... its dimension is 640x480.However, when I try and test the [code]...
Is there any way to get width/height of a loaded movie, excluding any area that is not displayed? My problem is that I am loading swfs to use as icons in a menu and am unable to get the desired width & height in order to calculate dynamic spacing based on how large the icons are. Most of the swfs where published with a document size of say 50 pixels x 50 pixels but some vary in dimensions. When I access the width or height property of the swf, I get a value that includes objects in the swf that fall out of bounds of the size set in the fla. Basically I get values that include areas that are effectively masked. So my 50x50 icon (that displays just fine), gets me a width of 63x86 or something like that. My sloppy workaround that I would like to replace was that I republished all of them with a extra property that I can read when I load them instead of using the width and height.
View 1 RepliesSo I've been building a colour picker, where you click an icon and a tooltip fades in revealing the colour picker. You make a selction and then click an "ok" button to close the tooltip(or mouse away from a couple of seconds and the tooltip closes)...Developing this was really smooth, untill I pushed the Button Component into the colour pickers containing Sprite. The problem seems to lie with getBounds. I use this to draw a background on the Colour Pickers container sprite. Now I have a button in there the first time I open the toolip I get a width and height of 250 - 100. Although the buttons dimensions are 25 - 18. The second time I click the colourPicker its getBounds() properties are correct and all is good.
If I add the Colour Pickers containing sprite to the stage before opening it then it opens with the correct dimension. Although this means the container is on stage. So I tried to just add and remove it in the one step but I get the same result as above.I'm thinking this has something to do with waiting for the button to be added to display list/stage or something but I can't work around it
Im trying to make a video class so I can put in my src and video dimensions to load up a video .. I am wishing to implement this in the following way

I did a lot of reading and made my own AS3 class for a streaming video player. The class seems to work, i'm getting debug output from the player and hear the sound but the video is not being displayed on the stage. My AS3 code :

I am using Flash Media Server 3 hosted by Influxis.I use to upload flash videos (flv) to view from our company website, which uses Flowplayer.I got a new video which is F4V, but this video is little wierd, It plays well but the duration shows as 3:00:00 (3 hours) which is actually 11minutes 30 seconds.
[Code]...
I have an upload form for an video. The user clicks browse and selects a file. How can I get the video dimensions the moment the user selects the file (before the file is even uploaded to the server). It obviously has to be something client-side with maybe javascript/jquery or flash/flex (prefer js//jquery though), but can either of them do this?
View 1 RepliesI built an AS3 based XML controlled playlist as taught by republic of code (I can't post the link apparently).
Now however I have videos that are done in 16:9 as well as 4:3, which means I've got to get the FLV/F4V player to change sizes. Is this possible? As of now it only distorts the images to get them to fit.
I have in my page a movie that i call with :

I am recording FLV videos with Red5 server and playing them back in a Flex app. I am aware that Red5 does not properly inject the FLV MetaData, so I am using an external commandline tool to get the metadata in there.
Because I am injecting the metadata, my duration of the video is correct.
The problem I am having, and this is true with all FLV players I try to play the video with (even 3rd party stand-alone video players), is the PlayHead time is never started at 0. When I load up the FLV to play and lets say the video is 10 seconds long, the current time label on the playhead starts at 1-2seconds instead of 0 and the horizontal slider current time indicator also is moved away from 0 and is set to 1-2 seconds along the slidebar. the video plays back fine from what I can see though.
Is there a byte in the FLV that I need to change so that it will start the playhead at 0? I realize this is probably something to do with Red5, so if anyone has any work-arounds or potential things to watch out for that may be causing this
I have the following script and I would like to modify it: 1.On this file I need to type the name of some video Albums in order to be displayed in the SWF file. 2. What I wanr is that this file read the specific folder and read the directories which they will be the names of the Albums
How can I do this?One more thing is that this file was created to work with Flas CS3 and I am trying to test it with CS5.

I'm creating a gallery for my swf files. Now I can open the external swf files in the gallery. But a lot of my swffiles use stage.stagewidth for dimensions, so they get streched across my screen.
Is there any way i can control the size? Make a virtual stage or something and load them into there? Any workarounds cause I really dont have time to rewrite all my swf's
I use an external txt to load some vars... works fine... But when I change the values of vars in the txt, and reload the txt in my swf, the old values are still displayed. Only when I take a new browser I can see the changed values. Does enybody know how to make sure I can load my changed vars from the txt without refreshing the internetbrowser?
View 2 Repliesi need to know why my loaded swf ended up having wrong parent, i mean i load multiples external swf and then add it into a main swf which have one mainContainer( an instance of sprite class) to hold background image and it also hold several SWFcontainer which will hold the loaded swf.what went wrong is that the the loaded swf parent is the mainContainer (or if do not use the mainContainer it wil become the child of the stage).
here is the code i used:
import flash.display.*;var myXML:XML;var SWFList:XMLList;var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();var totalSWF:int;var mainContainer:Sprite;var myCounter:Number = 0;var

I currently pull an html file into our site via iframe. (due to various factors, I cannot host the information in the html on our site and need to host it elsewhere). Is it possible to use a loader or other method to pull this information into flash?
View 2 RepliesI am loading the SWF just fine, but I want the SWF to fit the root stage exactly. What happens instead is that the external SWF seems to include white space from around itself.
For example, the author-set width of the Tanks game (an example file I was using) is 550px, but when I set the width of loadEvent.currentTarget.content.width to 550px, the game is resized to maybe 350px width. I have to set the value of loadEvent.currentTarget.content.width to something like 640 in order to get the game itself to make full use of those 550 pixels.
Code:
package {
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;

I have CS4 with AS3. I hard-coded values for cWidth and cHeight instead of getting them from flashvars because I am just testing in the IDE right now. Normally I would get those vars from flashvars.

have a swf that plays an flv in the flvplayback component. Currently, I have an external preloader that loads the swf, then once the swf is displayed the flvplayback component buffers. I would like the external preloader to also load the flv buffer. I had done it before it AS2 by having the first 50% of the preloader be the swf,and then have the flvplayback component invisible and have the last 50% of the preloader do the flv buffer.Maybe this is a crazy solution, is there a much easier and logical way to do this?My real problem is that my external preloader loads the swf and the preloader bar using the addChild method and I can't figure out how to have the swf communicate with it's sibling to update the progress bar on the progress of the flvplayback component.

View 1 RepliesI have the following code which simply loads an external swf, puts it in the right place and should all be hunky dory.This works:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("foobar.swf");[code].....
to set the dimensions of the loader so the external swf doesn't 'spill over', the result is a blank screen. No matter how high I set those dimensions it just doesn't display anything.
I suppose the title says it all. I can load an external video file (FLV) and I can have it play. I also have the custom buttons made to control the clip. The only thing I have left to do is to have the main timeline move onto frame 2 once the external video reaches its end. I am using actionscript 3 and flash cs 5.5.

I have trouble in choosing between external video with playback component and embedded video . I have tried adding video to dynamic page and everything is perfect .This video I have imported using the option File ->import video -> external video with playback component. If I try to execute flv on another system , the video is not playing eventhough it is in library.
So, I have imported video using the option of embedded video and this worked fine on another systems as it embeds video. The video plays for only 2 min 54 sec. I have compressed the bit rate to how much ever I can in premier pro. It resulted in reducing the size of the file but still I see the video occupying more than 3500 frames in the timeline. I feel this is not optimal.
I have loaded an external video with playback component in Flash CS4.
Now the question is do I need to add streaming script or not?
I have imported an .mp4 video into Flash using the option "Load external video with playback component." It creates a swf file which references the mp4 file. I chose this option because the video is large. I have used the published html code and it is working perfectly. I am just concerned that I might require other formats to ensure everyone can view it. In the past, I have seen people load mov and mp4,
