I am currently accomplishing this by switching between two NetStream, NetConnection, VideoPlayer combinations. The problem is that it is considerably cumbersome. Is there a better (easier) way of doing this? I looked into the play2() method, but it doesn't seem to have any way of overlapping the streams to create a seemless fade-in/fade-out.
View 1 RepliesI have a site where as you click links, you move forwards through a city. I want to fade sound files in and out, overlapping, depending on where you are in the city. (The site is [URL]). As yet, I can't have two sounds playing at once. I have found a site with the effect I want, it's at [URL]. (Great site, by the way)
My code is as follows. I have two sound loops at the moment, one of cicadas, one of a city at night, both saved as separate .swf files, which I have loaded onto the main timeline on layers 14 and 15. The code for the two loops is:
cicadas.swf, FRAME 1
var volPercent = 20;
cicadas = new Sound(cicadas);
cicadas.setVolume(volPercent*2);
city.swf, FRAME 1
var volPercent = 20;
city = new Sound(cityMC);
city.setVolume(volPercent*2);
Once I load these two onto different levels, I get no sound. If I delete one, the other will play. I have tried loading the sound objects into empty movie clips, but then the entire file has to load before it will start playing. I need a way to stream multiple sound files, and have control over their volume.
We are streaming a one hour F4V from streaming media server 3.5.2 and for some reason it is seeing our one hour video as being 10 hours long. We have tons of other videos and never ran into this problem in any of the other files. This is the only file that exceeds one hour. This occurs in the default player from the streaming server.
View 1 RepliesI'm working with dynamic streaming transitions and I would know how to stop a manual switch transition. Ocasionally I want to let the user change the quality of the streaming while another request its working. The actual result is that the requests succeded in cascade, and it would be nice to be able of stoping or canceling an actual change.
View 1 RepliesI need to have a series of images appear in a base FLA. The way I thought I could do it was with the Fading Grid script from the tutorials here.
I've got individual Fading Grid movies working without a problem, but when I load them into a single file one works and the other doesn't.
All the instance names are specific and it seems that when the timeline stops at the frame with all the AS one is working and the other not.
I've put three files into a folder. The individual movies and a tester FLA with the two movies in it. You can get them here!
I have 36 instances of one movieclip (called panel1, panel2...panel36) that I want to fade and unfade depending on whether the mouse has rolled over that one instance, I tried this code, which works when there is only one instance, but not when multiple.

_root.onEnterFrame = function () {

I am completely new to Flash and have been learning about alpha tweening to fade one .jpg image (of a customer's happy comment) to another. This works fine if I only have a small number of comments, but modifying each and every stage of the transitions would be a huge task if I have more than a handful of comments to deal with. Is there some way to set the transition and then apply that transition to all images? That way, I would only have to amend the transition once and it would make no difference whether I had 2 or 200 images to fade in and out of.

i read the Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files tutorial by claudio and i tried to use twise in the project. it works fine, the buttons work, in fact i did not change the code in the tutorial_complete.fla, i did the same for the photos.fla, and it works fine, but when i published the tutorial_completes.wf, i came with these two problems:
when i click the photos button in the tutorial_complete.swf, it load the photos.swf, but the code in the photos.swf does not work. it tried to change the name of the instance names and the labels, but nothing. the effect in the main buttons is great, but there is a broblem in the in the photos.swf buttons. files zipped here:[URL]

I've used this tutorial many times before but now for the first time i am using navigation that is inside a movie clip. instead of directly on the stage. I'm having problems with the content loading it just always says loading. Is there something that i would have to change in the transition code or my button code? all the code for my buttons is inside of nav_mc movie clip. here is my fla. to take a look at

I used the 'Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files' Tutorial from the tutorials section
here is a link [URL] and have to say, I learned soooo much from it, and incorporated it into my website [URL]. How to put a percentage preloader for each of the sections when they load. The heavier the .swf file you are loading, the longer it takes, and I've gotten comments about this saying they would like to know how long they have to wait until they see something.
trying to do a blinds transition with multiple images, and so far the only thing i have been able to do is to give the transition to one image, after that the movie just stops.What i want to do is to start with one image, keep it there for 1 sec, then the blinds transition to image 2 and then back to image 1 and loop the entire movie.What i got is this:

I have started making my first full flash website and there is one thing that troubles me:
How to make transition between multiple pages?
I have placed each of these mc's on their own layer and placed them in the first frame of their layers. I used the _visible = true/false property to show them when needed.
I want a Fade transition to occur when the next mc is visible. So from mc1 to mc13 they will play in a linear fashion and Fade in-between visibility.
I cannot find how to have multiple mc's use the Fade transition and I can only get the transition to work with Fading IN or OUT not both. I would like to have the mc Fade IN then when the sound is complete, it would Fade OUT and the next mc would Fade IN and so on through out all 13 mc's.

I want to play a flv file over http using a custom player in flex. The video content has to be made secure due to piracy reasons. Our idea is to encrypt the byte array of the flv files and decrypt it in the player using NetStream class in Flex.The problem is that Netstream class requires the complete byte array to be appended using appendBytes() but th size of the file is huge so its not a valid approach.
View 1 RepliesI am writing a basic Air app where one of the features is the ability to stream voicemail off of a local PBX.The voicemails are saved in WAV format and due to outside factors this cannot be changed. According to the Air docs there is no support for the audio tag because the flash player is built in, however, the flash player doesn't support wav files.
Was this just a large oversight on Adobe's part or am I missing something obvious here?
Recently bumped into troika's website and to my surprise figured that their videos are streaming .mov files! If yes, what are the pros and cons? And how does this technique perform against a .flv file?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to import a swf I made that contains streaming sound. When I place it on the time line and press cntr enter my animation plays but with no audio. I see the symbols from the swf and the swf inside my library. When I open the swf file inside my project it is broken down frame by frame with no audio. I can add audio back into my movie clip so I know that movie clips can support streaming audio. But I would rather not have to do this.
I'm very new to flash so I am hoping there is something big that I am missing.In addition to my previous question: I need to embed a lot of objects over and over in this project I am working on. Each object will have controls for play back of itself. Is there some reason I cannot do this?
I need some help with streaming wav files in flash. I can load a wav file and stream it ok using actionscript 3 into my fla file. However if I go to edit the wav and make it shorter the saved wav file will not play. I have used a trial version of soundbooth to see if I could somehow change the settings for the wav but I still cannot make it work. It will stream as an mp3 but I want the file to loop and need the file to be wav. I have attached the file. I have no problem when I upload the file into the fla file but that is not what I want to do.

I need to figure out how to utilize one SWF player/file to load different streaming F4V files dynamically.[code]...
Currently I am publishing a separate SWF player/file for each F4V, but this is unacceptable. I need to use one SWF file to load different F4V files. I'm not that knowledgeable in the ways of Flash, but I believe that the "src" attribute of the embed tag and the "name='movie'" attribute of the object's param tag needs to point to the SWF player/file. So does anybody know how I can manipulate the object and embed tags to make them load a different F4V file into the SWF player?
We are attempting to transcode some video to a format suitable for our Flash Streaming Server. In the past we have used Adobe Media Encoder (AME) CS4, but we are working with *.VOB files this time, and AME CS4 does not support them. We are attempting to use Handbrake now, as it has great support for h.264 and MP4 files. Unfortunately while the files play wonderfully on our local machines, they do not stream from the Flash streaming server over RTMP. The files come out of Handbrake with a *.m4v extension. Our old files out of AME CS4 are *.MP4's with h.264 and AAC audio. I can see no differences in video or audio codecs which leads me to believe it may be a container format problem. We are attempting to use Handbrake because it does an excellent job of batch encoding files and produces good quality files.
View 1 RepliesFor past couple of days i have been trying to make the .nsv streaming files to work in my flex framework. when i call it the data starts getting downloaded but i figured it out that the video object is unable to play this . I tried this for Shoutcast TV streams where i got lots of .nsv file formats.
So i just want to ask Whether somebody has tried to play the .nsv streams from shoutcast into flex.
I have a video player with a playlist written with AS3, along with an .XML settings file to edit the playlist. I can successfully play rtmp:/ streams from my FMS server on the video player. I would like to use dynamic streaming using the dynamicStream.smil file with my existing video player/playlist. Lastly, I have been unsuccessful taking the snippet code from the FMS, Dynamic Streaming sample page, and using it within an HTML document. I assumed all I would need to change were the paths to where the rtmp:// video file, .smil, and the video player files were located on the FMS.
