I'm using the flvPlayback and Captioning component/skin for some videos. Works great, but I can't figure out how to have the captions off by default, and use the caption button to turn them on for users who want to see the caption buttons.
flvCaption.showCaptions=false;
--hides the captions, but also disables the captionButton in the skin, so there is no way to toggle showing and hiding the captions.
I have captioning working with the FLVPlayback/FLVPlaybackCaptioning components. My skin has a caption button, and it toggles the captions on and off. What I can't figure out is how to get the player to start with captioning off by default.
I've googled around a bit and all I've found so far indicates that this might not be possible if the caption button is in a skin. Is this true? I find it hard to believe that this is so difficult to accomplish.
Using Flash CS3, v9, AS 3. I have got a Flash movie that I have set up to have captions display over it.I am using the included FLVPlayback component for the movie, and the included FLVPlaybackCaptioning component to set up the captions. My movie uses the included

I tried to look this up, but can't seem to find what I am looking for. How do I hide the FLV Buffer in the beginning and the playback controls that come with it?
View 1 RepliesI have a flash project with an flvplayback component using a flash provided shin and I have it set to auto hide but It always starts the video with the control on and I don't want them to show unless the user hovers over the video.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if anyone knew how to hide the skin in the flvplayback component on ROLL_OUT. SkinAutoHide seems to work whenever it feels like it and sometimes the button controls just stay over the video. This happens in Safari and IE I believe. I am used Actionscipt 3.0OR does anyone know how to get to the display list of the component, where all the names to all the buttons (and skin) is housed, using the instance names from the component fla file does not work. I looked at the documentation and the names of all the button sprites are there, but i need the name of the background that the buttons sit on top of.
View 5 Repliesimplement closed captioning into my FLVs. I have successfully set up the FLVplayback component, and the FLVplaybackCaptioning component to work. That's not the issue. The issue is, once I have my swf, flv, and xml files (needed to successfully use CC in a FLV), I need to insert that .swf into my captivate project.
It appears to insert/import OK, but once I publish the project, the swf does not appear, and in fact the FLV icon sits on the slide rapidly blinking. Neither the video plays, nor can I even see the playback component/closed caption component (swf) that holds the FLV.
All paths are relative, so the only things I can think of that may be causing the issue are:
a)Captivate doesn't support CS3 FLVPlayback or
FLVPlaybackCaptioning components
b)Since Captivate allows importing of FLV files directly, running the FLV through the component's swf is a problem
c)The hierarchy of files needed for the Closed Captioning FLV (xml, flv, swf), interfere with compiling the new Captivate .swf
upon publishing I've also been told that the FLV captioning component only works in Actionscript 3.0 which runs on Adobe Virtual Machine 2.Captivate publishes .swf files using Actionscript 2.0 which runs on Adobe Virtual Machine 1. Therefore, what I need to do will not work.
I'm creating accessible content for a html elearning module. I'm including video, which I have successfully imported into flash, and added captions to by linking a XML document.The issue I am having is that my styling in the XML isn't working in flash, and my captions play in a tiny horrible font, making it very difficult for people to read, therefore not making it accessible content.I've used two tutorials online to create these styles in XML but neither are working.I'm using CS5 Flash and Dreamweaver.XML content is as follows: (I have removed my content for the script)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><tt xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2006/04/ttaf1" xmlns:tts="http://www.w3.org/2006/04/ttaf1#styling"><head><styling><style id="1"

I have a simple mp3 player I'm making for timing out closed captioning. It plays one mp3 based on an ExternalInterface call, updates a text field with the position and allows for pausing and jumping the position back a bit. It will have a scrubber, but that code isn't in there yet. There is no complex code anywhere in the file, but it is still getting confused with btnPlay.visible or btnPause.visible, depending on which is visible first.

I am using using Flash Builder to create an AS3 video player which needs to support Closed Captioning. However, I am not using the FLVPlayback component. Is there a way of doing something like addASCuePoint() to flash.media.Video;, or is my only option using Flash' Timer to do my own check?
View 2 RepliesI'm setting up a simple little OSMF-based media player, and I have hooked up the org.osmf.captioning plugin found in the samples. It is working just groovy with video, but I also have audio files to play with captions, and it doesn't seem to do anything for those. On initial inspection, I can't see anything in the plugin that ties it to a specific type of media. Nor can I find any indication that the timeline metadata used for captioning is only relevant to certain types of media. Does the captioning plugin support audio playback? Might I have set it up incorrectly?
View 1 RepliesI am looking to add closed captioning to video being played via Netstream. The "cuePoints" and text-data would be pulled from an external XML file. I am tinkering around with different libraries/add-ins but not having much luck. I've read that you cannot add cuePoints to a netstream programmatically.
View 7 RepliesI currently have a problem with captioning on a video file that I am streaming from Flash Media Server. For some reason, the first time the video is viewed, the captioning pauses right around 6 mins. I've verified this happens from multiple computers, from different physical locations and on different networks. The video continues to play, but the pause button on the playbar also looses functionality and the captioning does not progress.
I've created a total of 11 videos all using the Flash CC plugin with a custom button for show/hide captions and minimal playbar which only includes the pause button and the mute button. This only happens in this one particular file, but they are all setup the same. From what I can tell, the xml is constructed correctly (TT XML generated by contractor).
The code I've written works fine on all the other files. The only thing I can see that's different among the files is possibly the size of the movie I'm streaming. Its the longest. If the viewer refreshes the page and watches the movie again, the pause does not happen. Is it possible that a setting may need to be changed on the Flash Media Server?
I am using AS 3 Flash CS4, WIndows XP SP3. I am unable to use the Mouse.hide(); method in many of my scripts. If I add Mouse.hide() to a preexisting script, I get the following error; line1 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method hide through a reference with static type Class. If I add Mouse.hide():void; to a preexisting script, I get the following error: line1 Label must be a simple identifier Once this has happened, if I then remove ALL lines of script from the file...but leave the Mouse.hide(); [or Mouse.hide():void;], and also remove all objects from the stage, when I run the file, I still get those same errors.

I have attached a video on a frame of my website in Flash. When I preview the movie the film plays as it should.But when I export the Fla. as a Swf. file it then doesn't have the movie there anymore?It does show this error:

I really don't know what that refers too.

View 1 RepliesI have created a tutorial for users that will register to use an application. I am used to using Adobe Captivate, but that is not available to me at my current job. So, I am doing my best in Flash. I couldn't figure out how to create a rewind button, so I cut up my tutorial into scenes that are based on what screen the user would see when registering.
Because of this, my audio will be cut into the scenes. I have created pseudo Closed Captioning by hiding and showing text when a user clicks on a Show or Hide button. That's great except, when the movie goes to Scene 2, the closed captioning returns to an off state and the user would need to click Show again. I want to know if there is a way to set a variable when the user clicks Show that can carry into subsequent scenes to then continue showing the Closed Captions. Alternatively, is there a way to make a rewind button or another way to handle Closed Captions? I am very new to ActionScript (3 or otherwise) and must have Closed Captions to meet federal law.

I have a Flash website that consists of 6 different Scenes. The Home scene and the Videos scene each have a FLV player that I dragged from the library and I called it "vid". So I'm basically using the same player for both scenes. I'm also using the caption component and am assigning the xml via actionscript when the user clicks on a link, so it reloads the player with the correct video and the correct captions. The problem I'm having is that say they are watching the video on the Home scene with captions. If they click on the Contact Us scene, the video player disappears, but the captions stay on the screen by themselves. Looks really odd. I need a way to turn off the captions (called the component "myCaps") so they disappear both when changing scenes and changing movies. On the Videos scene, if you click a different movie's link, the old captions form the last movie stay on screen and just move up a line and the new movie's captions appear below that one. So, how do I get rid of the captions when I don't want them?[code]...

View 2 RepliesI just started to mess with Flash past week, however I will learn all that's necessary. This time I AM looking for a quick fix though, since I already know how to make the simplest slideshows with next, previous buttons, but I don't know how to make images fade into each other and add captions, as well as stop the animation when mouse is over the image. I may be ignorant - still a newbie - but I think it all has to do with just adding right tags in Actions.[URL]
