ActionScript 3.0 :: FLVPlayback - Buffering From Specified Time In FLV Movie
Oct 1, 2009
I recently to created a simple movie with FLVPlayback component. I have customized all of its controls (play, pause, volume, progress). I have also created a simple Table of contents for movie with four buttons. Every button jumps to different place in movie.
Problem starts to happen when i want to jump to movie position that haven't been downloaded yet. My question regards this situations. Can I tell FLVPlayback component to start buffering from different position?
In other words do it always have to be starting from begining of the movie. Can I start buffer movie for example from the middle of it?

Take a look (click on one of the right banners): [URL] The lightbox should almost immediately play the videos, but instead (only) with ie7, the video take a really long time to start. All 3 videos. But only the first time I play them. So, I suppose there's maybe some loading or buffering problem that occurs only with ie7. The swf files are simple default FLVPlayback pointing to a .flv in the server. Any way to optimize the playback so that will start soon in all browsers?

I'm using the FLVPlayback to load streaming videos from a FMS. The bug that I'm running into is with the buffering state. Several times the video will enter a buffering state that never ends. The last video event that's fired in this scenario is the BUFFERING_STATE_ENTERED. But if I seek the video on the seekbar, it's playing away.

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
[Code]...

Im using the FLVplayback component for a project im doing. I want to add the time elapsed and time left on the controls (just like how the player on the tutorials on this site works). I dont really want to create my own controls, as im happy with the flv playback component.

I am streaming a playlist of multiple mp4 video files and have been experiencing strange netStream.time values when the buffering is set for an extra long time on slow connections.
For example, when starting the video, if I set the buffer to something like 90 seconds, while filling the buffer netStream.time reads 0. The second the buffer is full, instead of reading 0,1,2 +++ it jumps to a really high value, in this case 53535 and sticks there until the video, which seems to play correctly from the begining ,catches up to that time and then starts incrementing as it should. What's odd about this is that the time the netStream.time gets stuck to always corresponds to the end/begining point between two streams in the playlist. For whatever reason this always seems to be the third video in the playlist. IF I seek to a new location, it re buffers, and then the time properly is stuck at the time that corresponds to the end of the 4th stream.
If the connection is relatively fast and the buffer is set to a smaller value, I never see any issues.
I know netStream.time is notoriously buggy, but something tells me there is more going on here.

I am streaming a playlist of multiple mp4 video files with flash 9 and FMS 3 and have been experiencing strange netStream.time values when the buffering is set for an extra long time on slow connections. When I have my buffer set to something like 60 seconds I'll start experiancing this problem:
the NetStream.time value will return 0 on progress events while buffering, but the moment the buffer is full, instead of reading 0,1,2 +++ it jumps to a really high value, in this case 53.5 seconds, and sticks there until the video (which seems to play correctly from the beginning) catches up to that time and then the netStream.time starts incrementing as it should.
Another relevant fact is that the time the netStream.time gets stuck to always corresponds to the end/begining point between two streams in the playlist. For whatever reason this usually seems to be the third video in the playlist. If the connection is relatively fast and the buffer is set to a smaller value,

I'm trying to implement a simple NetStream video player with Progressive Video, but for some reason the video is taking about 12-13 seconds to begin buffering...I don't get it. If you check this link, you can see the buffer progress, you can see that it sits at 0 for >10s, until finally starting to buffer, at which point it finishes very quickly. [URL] It's a hard one to search for as any query using connection or slow obviously returns a bunch of crap that I don't need...

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?

I have a page on my site, that has thumbnails for about 9 videos that are external and loading through the FLV Playback component. Everything works great unless the user decides to move on to the next page, while a video is buffering (pre-loading). If the buffing bar is showing and click to go to the next page the video continues to play once it is loaded. You can't see the video, but you can hear the audio from it. Sometimes if you are too click happy, you will get the audio overlap of two different videos at the same time.
Is there anyway to stop videos that are loading when you click the button to go to another page?

I wanted to know if there is any ideal value for the buffer time for a video streaming. What factors determine the video player's buffertime so that the video plays smoothly at the client end. I'm using a buffer time of 6 sec. My video is expected to be between 1 - 7 min. and The player is be hosted on a public website, which means the audience could be with varying internet bandwith. How do i know if 6 sec is perfect for my audiences or not. Is there bright idea?

I have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?

I don't dev in Flash too much anymore, and I'm not up on AS3. Therefore, I developed this little project in AS2 (CS5.5) and seems that I've opened a can of worms.
I've got a launcher movie on _level1 that loads movies onto _level2 based on the button that is clicked. That all works well and good, but I can't figure out how to unload the movie when it finishes playing, so as to return to the menu.
Some of the FLVs that are being loaded were too big to add to a timeline. So I had to use FLVPlayback to load the FLVs into my level 2 movie. I don't know how to tell FLVPlayback to close its SWF when playback has finished.

I have made a short movie which I intend to loop on the web using Flash CS3. I found setting up the FLVplayback component really easy and currently have the .swf playing my external .flv perfectly. Now I need to figure out how to loop the movie - seamlessly if possible. I found this video tutorial, but it appears I can't add actionscript to the FLVplayback component in CS3, and the parameters bit doesn't seem to have a option for it. I heard elsewhere that the best way to seamlessly loop a movie in Flash is to embed the movie. Is this true? If so, how do I go about doing this?

I'm trying to get my own buttons to load FLV movies into the FLVplayback component. I've got it to work in a simple test but making it work on a more complex level. The test is here I've named the FLVplayback instance 'my_video'The simple buttons have this script in the actions:
n (release) {
my_video.load("videonamehere.flv");
my_video.autoPlay=true;

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:
**Warning** The linkage identifier 'FLVPlayback' was already assigned to the symbol 'Video/FLVPlayback', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'FLVPlayback', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
I really don't know what that refers too.

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.

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
