I have to use AS3 starting now and I have the AS2 script for a FLV1 to FLV2.how to have a FLV1 to Image1 for one part and another part for FLV1 to a SWF...Here's the AS2 code:
import mx.video.*;
var flv1:String = "flvs/VG1_01n02.flv";
var flv2:String = "flvs/VG1_Bintro.flv";[code]...........
I would like to take a PNG image over the FLV media. While FLV is loading, i see the image, but when the FLV starts to play, the image goes under it.
I have two Layers. Layer 1 with the FLV playing, and Layer 2 with a transparent button for weblink (it works). Order of layers in the timeline area: Layer 2, Layer 1

LIke youtube, they have a preview image of the flash video.How do i get flash using actionscript to dynamically generate a image realtime? how do i convert any file to an flv through the internet? dont worry, i'm not trying to beat youtube,i'm doing this for a music studio website. I heard of this ffmpeg.exe....how to use this? Do I put this on my webserver? I use the paid yahoo webhosting.
View 8 Repliesi am trying to get a preview image to appear when using the flvplayback component. it does not show up within the flash player or when i test on a server. i was able to use the component inspector to find the image i wanted and export and save it. i saved the png file in the same directory where my flv is located. here is my AS:
Code: Select allimport fl.video.FLVPlayback;
var flv_video_mc:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
flv_video_mc.source = "flv/video.flv";
flv_video_mc.preview = "flv/video_preview.png";

I've been customizing the flvplayback component and have run into a problem. So far I have successfully created a custom skin for the flvplayback component, with a play overlay button,which loads the FLV dynamically from flashvars.I am now trying to load in a static image which appears until the video is played.I've been looking around the internet and in the Adobe forums, but haven't found what I'm looking for.I thought perhaps the Preview min the AS3 flvplayback component would help, but this won't work apparently.
I was thinking myPlayer.source = "image.jpg"; but then how can I change what the source is once someone clicks on the video? I also found fl.video.VideoEvent, but I'm not sure how I can use this to set the image as the source, until someone presses the play button, or until the video is playing (note that I am using an overlay play button which shows up whenever the movie is paused, so once the video starts playing, I would not want the static preview image to come up again...just until someone clicks the any play
button).
I cannot find an ActionScript 3 code example anywhere on how to load a PNG file as a flvplayback preview image and add it in at runtime." Assigning the preview property with the string of the PNG file refrence like 'video.preview = "previewimg.png"' does nothing. who to assign in ActionScript 3 a PNG file as preview file.
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to make an interactive quiz show type thing. The video shows someone reading the questions, then the answers appear as four clickable images after the question has been read. Then a user clicks on an answer it updates the score and moves to the next question.
Video has been imported and it plays perfectly. Movie controls (Play, pause etc) work fine as well. But since the video doesn't appear in the flash timeline (but in the external FLVplayback component) how can I get the images for the answers to appear on the screen at the right time? I have to use the FLV playback for a number of reasons so I have to find a solution to this problem within that context.
I put in navigation and event cue points in the flash video encoder first, the idea being to have the video pause at that point and make the buttons appear then, but I'm getting constant errors with everything I try.
(I believe you use event listeners to wait for the cue point and then use addChild to put in the video, vid.pause(); to pause it but I'm just getting tons of errors every time I try anything like that so clearly I don't know my syntax well enough)
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 went to start a video project this morning and can't get the FLVPlayback component to do anything. Opening a new Flash file, dragging and dropping a FLVPlayback object from the Components panel onto the stage and then building the movie results in the following laundry list of errors:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property isRTMP through a reference with static type VideoPlayer.[code]...
All these errors take place in the UIManager.as file.
I have a little Flash 8 FLVPlayback-based video player, designed to read a list of video URLs (pointing to a demo version of FMS 3.5) from XML. The player works the first couple of times you select a video but then stops displaying anything when you select more videos. The seek bar seems to move but there is not picture or sound. You can see it here:

My ActionScript is as follows:
Code:

vidList.ignoreWhite = true;

I have an FLVPlayback component in an video.swf, and it has a fullscreen button. video.swf is being loaded by another main.swf. when the fullscreen button is clicked, it goes into full screen. But, the FLVPlayback scales too big and even the overlaying controls are out of the screen.
View 9 RepliesI don't know why, I don't know how, but for some reason setting the FLVPlayback.bufferTime property to anything past its default value of 0.1 will (more often than not) make it so the .flv metadata does not ever make it to the video player. Granted, this may also have to do with my slow connection, but I know I am not the only one who has had this problem hose of you who have made players with custom seek-bars know the lack of metadata is can be a problem because the FLVPlayback.totalTime property is set directly from the"duration" property of the FLVPlayback.metadata objecty suspicion as to why this is not a more widespread issue is due to the "one video per player" nature of players on websites. I don't believe that players often reuse the net connection of the same FLVPlayback control to load one video after another (however, I could be wrong, this is all assumption on my part anyways).1) The FLVPlayback's net connection is reused (that is, you call the load() or play() method several times during the lifetime of the videoplayer.
2) You notice that occasionally meta information is never received when you increase the buffer time to a value above the default.3) Your seek-bar does respond or you get a run-time error when you try to seek (most likely because totalTime property NaN and the playheadPercentage property relies on this value)The simple solution (or so I am led to believe ): set the buffer time back to the default value before every call to the new connection. In other words, make sure that the the FLVPlayback.bufferTime property is set to 0.1 before calling the load() or play() method for a new video. This will ensure that the metadata is properly received by the component for playhead calculations.
Code:
//assume we have an existing FLVPlayback component
myFLVplayback:FLVPlayback = this.flvPlayer as FLVPlayback;

I'm using the FLVPlayback component to play 4 FLVs.
There are 4 buttons in the swf that can call up each video to start playing. Here's what's on the button 1:
-----
function vid1(e:Event){
vidPlayer.source = "mymoviename.flv"
}
vid1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid1);
-----
All the controls in the skin (play, stop, pause, etc) are great, except I need to also have a "play next" control.
What type of script to do I need to attach to the "play next" control?

View 1 RepliesI'm currently on a project where to build a site with with several video-clips being played and reached from a menu. The video-files will be in FLV-format.I've done some video solutions in flash a few years ago but this time it will be in CS5 (AS3) and I'm not sure which solution that will suite this project best.The video clips must run smooth and I guess we'll need some cuepoints and buffering to make the transitions from the user inputs smooth. I think they need some MovieClips on top the videopart as well for navigation/information.
Should I use the NetStream-way or use the FLVPlayback-way? I got some demo-video-files yesterday and I ran an example using the FLVPlayback-method and it showed up smoothly but is this the way to go?Why would you use either NetStream or FLVPlayback?
I'm creating an application in Flex that needs to use the DVR capabilities of FMS 3.5, ideally I would like to do this using the FLVPlayback 2.5 component, however I'm struggling to find any tutorials or info on this, I was wondering is someone could point me to one.
I heard that I need the DVRCast application to do this, but this hasn't been released yet, I was wondering if I could get a rough idea of when this is going to be released?
I am using the FLVPlayBack component and it is working when I access FLVs stored on my local machine or even another machine on my network. However with one particular computer I am getting a Connection error reported at the same time after I have started playing back any FLV file. It occurs 25 seconds after the playback has been initiated.
It is my preference to use the computer on which the playback error is regularly occurring so I would like to get to the bottom of why I am always getting the same error.
Flash CS3, and I have an FLV video(40 seconds) and a postcard which I want to show in the video farme after the video is complete.

Here is what I am doing:I put a FLVPlayback component in the first frame on the stage. Give the FLVPlayback component an instance name.Link the FLVPlayback component to a flv file on my server.Put the postcard in the second frame on the stage

I have the following situation:I have a SWF file, "A.swf" loading another SWF file, "B.swf" that contains an FLVPlayback. Using the Event.INIT of the loader.contentLoaderInfo, I add a listener to load and display file "B.swf". It loads and displays the file "B.swf" but it does not play the FLVPlayback which was intantiated in actionScript3 in the "actions" layer of frame 1 in "B.swf".
View 6 RepliesI'm doing a small Flash 10 site for a friend of mine at [URL] and my problem is if you click on the WATCH button, you'll see the FLVPlayback component comes up and the video starts playing. Fine so far. However, click on any other button and it takes you to the correct place in the timeline but the audio from the video keeps playing and I can't get it to stop even though the FLVPlayback component is nowhere on the stage anymore. How can I fix this bug?

I'm working on a "TV" in Flash where I use several videos running at the same time, so the videos tend to be lagging in the beginning. I think I would need a loading bar to show the user when the TV is ready to be turned on. I can submit the fla-file as well if that is necessary.[code]...
