ActionScript 3.0 :: FLVPlayback Source With Query Strings (parameters) Doesn't Load
Aug 31, 2010
I'm currently trying to use the FLVPlayback component and pass a source FLV that's living on a cloudfront webserver. The problem is that the cloudfront requires authentication in the form of query strings in the source FLV. For example:[code]It adds on "&FLVPlaybackVersion= 2.1" to the end.I saw a different article that said I should add a dummy variable at the end like "&dummy=.flv" because I was told that Flash is basically looking for an .flv extension at the end and you can trick it, but it doesn't work because they add on additional code.

I'm working with flash CS4, with an adobe air file with as3, doing a desktop application to use in Windows , I google about information, but only find answers for web.I'm using a flvplayback, and when at source property add a local path as C:folderVideomyvideo.mp4 ,everything works fine, but when source is a server path from other computer as therpcfolderVideomyVideo.mp4 , doesn´t works. I'm not if a flvplayback bug.I have always the possibility to make a map folder, but this application is for a client, and if I can solve if add new map folder, it's better to me.

Basically, I have a URL to a SWF, but I need to get some info to the SWF on load. So the FlashVars seemed like a perfect fit. the link+query string -> HTML page using SWFObject 2.x to embed the SWF ->JavaScript to use the "document.location.search" in order to get the query string.
Here's my HTML code:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
[code]...
When I leave the alert on in the HTML page, it displays the query string of
"grade=0&workmat=1&manipulative=2"

I have a querystring passing a var to my .swf. This var is getting into the movie fine and I can output it in a text box, but I'm having problems "rebuilding it" into my new getUrl. Here's what I have:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("index.cfm?searchtype=" & _root.searchtype & "");
}
What I'm looking to see interpreted by the browser is:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("index.cfm?searchtype=OH");
}
(where the value of _root.searchtype is "OH"). [URL]

I'm currently trying to figure out a way for a user to select their own variety of SWF files from a list for customization. This data is saved in a database and when the SWF is loaded it grabs an XML page which tells the SWF container which clips to load. My co-worker found something useful that grabs the location of the SWF and loads it in the container using the MovieClipLoader's loadClip() function. So that works fine as it grabs each little file, it plays, and then another plays right after.
However, some of the files have custom data I would like to place inside the child SWF files. There are variables saved in the files and if I load it up as movie01.swf?param1=TEST it works fine. However if I grab that as the location of the file and use the loadClip() function the query string parameters are not loaded. Here are the simple functions used to call the SWF file into the container:

Adobe page for LoaderInfo states: The two sources of parameters are: the query string in the URL of the main SWF file, and the value of the FlashVars HTML parameter (this affects only the main SWF file). We would like to accept only FlashVars parameters and ignore the ones passed in as parts of Query String.

I have a font embedded in a SWF file, font.swf, with 'Export for runtime sharing' ticked. I have another SWF which uses this font and has 'Import for runtime sharing' ticked and the URL property pointing to the font.swf file. When the second SWF file is loaded it automatically loads the font.swf. Now I want to preload the font file instead of letting flash automatically load it; I do this using a Loader to simply load the font file beforehand. The problem is that when I preload the font file I want to use version parameter to make sure that the latest version of the file is loaded eg:
font.swf?version=1.4
Now even though I have loaded the font file flash loads it a second time because the the urls differ. I'm using CS5.

I'm totally at a loss as to how to detect if my instance of FLVPlayback component has been handed a source that either doesn't exist or it can't play for one reason or another.

I'm trying to have Flash execute a file, and I can get FSCOMMAND to work. Sort of. While I can use it to run a single batch file, what I really need to do is to pass a parameter from within Flash to the item being executed. I'm currently using Flash to allow a user to select some items, and I need to pass that selection out of it in order to kick off some other processes (Flash is basically just my GUI interface right now until I learn more about how to do things in it).
I don't care if it's a batch file or JavaScript or anything that's not uber complex (so no .NET or C++). I just need to find something that we can run internally for our company (either from an .HTML or a .EXE file output from Flash - not too picky there either).

I'm using the same FLVPlayback component to play many page transition videos throughout a large flash site I'm building. On each transition, I'm setting the component's source using myFLVPlayback.source and listening for the fl.video.VideoEvent.READY event before proceeding with each page transition. This works fine as long as the transition between every pair of pages uses a different video.
Unfortunately, I'm running into a problem when the same page-to-page transition video needs to get invoked for two consecutive transitions. When playing the same video twice in a row, setting the source property of the component to the value it already has doesn't seem to do anything, meaning that my listeners for fl.video.VideoEvent.READY never fire. I could do something hackish like setting the source to a tiny, never-used-elsewhere FLV before setting it to the FLV that I'm actually using for the transition as a means of "resetting" the component, but I'd like to know what best practices are in a situation like this (insofar as best practices with something like the FLVPlaybackComponent can be discussed with a straight face).
I've perused the livedocs for the component but came up empty-handed, and manually using NetStream, NetConnection, and Video objects at this late stage isn't really an option.

Is it possible to globally find/replace FLVPlayback parameters (e.g. contentPath, skinAutoHide, etc.) so that parameters can be changed globally throughout movie? I'm using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2. Or, is there a way to override the FLV parameters at runtime using AS2?

FLVPlayback custom params
How do I pass custom parameters to FMS using a FLVPlayback just likeI can with NetConnection.onConnect()? e.g. Normally I pass custom params to FMS like this:netConnection.connect("rtmp://mydomain.com...", param1, param2, ... .etc); How do I pass param1... etc. to FMS if I'm using an FLVPlayback component?

ActionScript Code:
for (var v = 0; v <= 10; v++) {
var flv = attachMovie("FLVPlayback", "my_FLVPlybk" + v, v+1, {width:20, height:20, x:100, y:20});
}
With this code I have created 10 flvplayback components and inserted in the screen. How to access to each of this components i have created and change parameters like pause() them stop() play() add contentPath etc., I need that only after the loop is finished not while the loop is still on. Something like
findComponent("my_FLVPlybk1").stop();

I have a video which has an flvplayback inside. I have been using it for others flv. But with these 3 flv, when I set the path in the component parameters, flash shuts down. I have used aftereffects, media encoder to convert them from mov and avi to flv.

i have couple of videos that i want to play in succession. my theory on how to do this was to add an event listener that would call function to change the source of the FLVPlayback component and play once the initial video finished playing. The problem is that i don't know what parameters to pass to the eventlistener and the acting function. I just need someone to fill in the blanks to the following code

I am working on adding functionality to where the URL takes in a parameter as defined by an MVC style looking way.eg. (URL... )where 12345 is the corresponding Id number that I want to get.I have this functionality working.I am using Internet Explorer 7.My issue is that when a user attempts to enter a new query string id into the URL, the page doesn't refresh when the user hits enter or the refresh button. (The user can navigate to the url/#/Id/12345 only when opening a new window/tab)Does anyone know if this is a feature that doesn't work in Flex or if there is some code or configuration needed to allow this?

If I double click on the published SWF file (thus opening it with the FlashPlayer 10 executable), the video plays correctly. Nonetheless, if I double click on the published HTML file, there isn't any video played at all. This doesn't happen if I put the files on a webserver, the video plays correctly on the browser.I checked the "source" property of the component, which doesn't have any absolut path (the video file resides on the same folder as the FLA/SWF folder, so the "source" property only has the FLV filename).

- Flash CS4 Professional Version 10.0.2, working in Actionscript 2
- I work with Mac OSX 6.4
I implemented a FLVPlayback component in a Flash file I've published on my website, so it could load an external movie without having to put it in the SWF itself. It works fine when using the SWF offline, but when I put it online it never runs on the first go. I either have to restart the browser, or when that doesn't work I'll have to wait for a few hours before it magically does what it's supposed to do.This goes for both Safari and Firefox on my Mac, and while using Firefox on a PC (I haven't tested different scenario's yet). Once it works, it'll always work on that particular computer in that particular browser. At first I thought the browser didn't allow internet access to the SWF (the FLV that it uses are hosted on a different site), but that doesn't seem to be the problem. Maybe it's a cache issue, but I haven't been able to prove that either.URL..I kept the actionscript at a minimum. When the play button is pressed, it simply goes to the next frame where the FLVPlayback component is ready to launch the content. As you can see on my website there is a visual loader when you select the play button, but this is just an endlessly repeating movie clip that doesn't do anything accept give the viewer the idea that something's loading.

I have read that the FLVPlayback component has been optimized for the iPad, but I can't get it to work at all.I had it working, albeit poorly, in CS5.But the same app, published with CD5.5, just shows a flickering FLV icon instead of video.

I'm using the standard flvplayback component v.2.5.0.26
When I load a flv file in it, all UI buttons and buffering work correctly with the exception of the seekbar - when I drag the seekbar handle forward, the video doesn't go to that position, after I release the handle, it jumps back to the beginning of the video and it keeps playing from there
Does anyone know if it happens because of the specific flv file or I need to add some AS3 code to the seekbar to make it work?

I'm creating one sprite named 'holder' and I'm adding childs to it. finally I use sp.source = "holder"; NOTE: scrollPane is in stage, having instance name = sp, holder is AS created.
this works very good, but I need to on button press refresh data on holder. So I want to complete remove holder, so my function can recreate it with new elements and then define scrollPane.source = "holder";
How can I do this?
var holder:Sprite = new sprite();
holder.name = "holder";
addChild(holder); // this adds holder to stage
//
// add elements to holder
