ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Need Circular Video Scrubber Functionality
Jul 8, 2010
I will tell you what exactly i need. I need a video scrubber and it should be in a circular shape. I will tell you how it has to work. I want to rotate with a small circle on top of a big circle. lets assume that small circle is called a dragger. Now i need to drag that on top of the circle either in clock wise direction or in anticlock wise. If am dragging in clock wise, the loading video has to seek forward. suppose in case if am dragging in anti clock wise, i need to see the video backward. This is the functionality am going to implement in FLASH CS3/FLASH CS4.

I've got nearly all of it working but the drag action of the scrubber. Seeks on MouseDown but doesn't drag. Oddly I've got this very functionality working for the audio volume scrub bar but not the playhead.
Here is the troubled portion of the code. Happy to send a src file:
Code: // ScrubHandle Dragging Variables var ratio_play:Number; var playTrackBounds:Rectangle = controls.trackbar.getBounds(controls); var playXpos:Number = playTrackBounds.x;
I have created an XML driven Video Player based on Lee Brimelow's Video TutorialI have a MC called loader which contains two MCs- a circular shaped clip called scrub which can be used to seek to particular time of the video. and anoder MC called loadbar which denotes the amount of video loaded by expanding correspondingly.Everything works fine except the video scrubber (the playhead). when the scrubber reaches the end of the movie; instead of stopping at the end of the loader MC it goes beyond it.here's the code:
Code: function videoStatus() { amountLoaded = ns.bytesLoaded/ns.bytesTotal;
I'm tweaking the video code found here [URL] His progress bar starts at the edge of the stage. My progress bar starts at x=40 into the stage. My problem is that even though all my mcs related to the progress bar are positioned properly the scrubber mc hops to the edge of the screen when the video starts. It also acts as if the progress bar you scrub though is at the edge of the screen too. I can't figure out why it's doing this. There's nothing in the code to tell it to do as such.
I'm new to flash. I'm trying to create a swf of a video with scrubber and at a certain point through the video the web address pops up and is clickable. I have tried embedding the flv within the timeline but it warns me that things could get out of sync.
I'm looking for a tutorial on the interwebs to create a scrubber for the length of a movie clip.For example:If a movieclip is 300 frames long, the beginning of the scrubber would be Frame 1 and the end would be Frame 300 with Frames 2-299 in the middle.I'd like the user to be able to scroll through the movie much like a Quicktime VR
I'm making a working scrubber on a video, but having problems. The scrub itself it starting out in the middle of the loadbar. I've looked everywhere, trying to find out what is wrong with it. Here is the code and link to my .fla [URL]
I am playing flv files on a site. The way I am bring them is via the import video from the library (not using flv component). I am loading the videos via using netStream. So far so good. Everything works fine. I want to be able to scrub through the video by clicking and dragging left or right on the video itself. I plan to make the mouse cursor turn into a symbol that has a left and right arrow when you roll over the video hence letting you know that you can click and drag left or right to forward or rewind through the video. IS this possible? If so, how can I accomplish this?
I'm looking for a way to extend the functionality of the HTMLEditor control that the Ajax Control Toolkit supplies for ASP.net. I would like to add video and flash functionality to the editor (buttons, allowed tags, etc).
To my knowledge, this is rather easy: plop in an embed tag with the correct parameters and it just works; I have videos running in the preview window of the editor.
Unfortunately, the tag is stripped away when saving the HTML-code and updating it in the database.
Hence, I would like to ask if there is any way of adding this functionality apart from manually adding the changes in the source control repository of the Ajax Control Toolkit and recompiling it.
I am working with the scrub element in my custom video player. The code for this in AS2 is as follows (this is the whole of it). How the scrub portion is coded in AS3?
HTML Code: var nc:NetConnecttion = new NetConnection(); nc.connect(null); var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc); theVideo.attachVideo(ns); ns.play("vegas.flv"); [Code] .....
All this code works properly, however when I include the part which controls the video resize metadata the scrubber stops working... (see the section between the ">>> <<<").
Code: var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); nc.connect(null); var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc); ns.setBufferTime(2); ns.onStatus = function(info) { [Code] .....
I am making a player that adds an advertisement before a video but don't want the user to be able to skip though the ad. I am using the progress component and an FLV Playback component for my player. I had tried to just hide the progress bar but it looks unbalanced. If anyone has an idea on how to make it so a user can not fast forward though the ad by dragging the scrubber that would be great.
I'm building a flv_video AS3 player. I'm using steaming-video.The player is working fine, but there is something that I want to improve. Currently when I push play button and if I drag&drop the scrubber of progress-bar somewhere in the area that is still not buffered, the player doesn't start to play from that position. So I want to do it.
I'm creating something like a video player with annotation functionality. I can load up the notes, with times at which they were made by people (as strings), and put these into an array to be utilized. I also know the current time of the flv video as it's playing. So each note has a time attached to it, but how can I use these as triggers that fire dynamically in relation to the video's duration?
I have a video player that doesn't have "seek from unloaded time" functionality. I want to add it now. I simply load video like this; stream.play("vidurl.flv"); (pseudo streaming) Server side is ready. I can call videos like videourl.flv?start=xxx but cant play them in player cuz video comes without metadata To sum up: 1. stream.play("vidurl.flv"); works, video plays 2. user clicks to seek bar. on unloaded part. I get the position and convert it to seconds stream.play("vidurl.flv?start=10"); Doesn't work! No metadata what I should do after?
I'm building a website that will allow 2 different users to meet in a secure, private video conference. Wondering if our develpoers can use the Flash Media Server to integrate this functionality into our site? Here are requirements that we need to support:Scheduled video conferences:* User1 an click "start video session" link and are put into a video conference room* If someone who is not the user1 or user2 clicks link, throw "You don't have access to this chat" error
I am making a video chat application. When I start the application it running fine but after some time like 30-45 it creating some problem, like I have a volume controller in it, after some time when I use that volume controller for setting volume it is not doing changes in volume. But at initial stage all the functionality worked fine.
how to build a timeline scrubber that can scrub more than one scene.
1. Scene 1 had 20 frames 2. Scene 2 had 20 frames 3. On scene 1 I put the slider that scrub the timeline. The totalFrames; sum all the frame from all the scene. 4. When i scrub the slider to frame 21 error occurred saying that the slider couldn't be found. So i paste the slider in scene 2.
So how to continue scrub on scene 2? How to make a slider that can scrub all scene and move along showing the current frames?
I want to use RTMP based HTTP DVR functionality and HLS based IOS functionality, So I need to know how to MPP from my existing DVR app to the livepkgr app so that the stream being recorded at the DVR app can be used by the Flash and Stream MPP over to livepkgr app and can be used by the IOS HLS.
When I run this I get the error The definition is in circular inheritance. I've extended classes more times than I care to count, but I've never seen this. Can anyone offer me some enlightenment?
Realistic FLASH spotlight beam, not using a circular mask. I am in desperate need of some information, about realistic spotlights designed with flash. I need the kind that shoot a beam with a round circle on the floor. I have found a great example, at http://www.grisu.com and the owner even shared the fla code with me, but I still don't quite understand how to modify it to work for me. He offered to help, but he only speaks spanish and I only speak English, so we can't communicate.
If you go to his web and view the stage, the beam sweeps the stage and changes the angle and size of the beam. I need a longer and narrower beam. The length of the beam is too short for me, but the idea is just what I need. Does anyone know of any tutorials on this subject? Or possibly other samples so that I may study them in detail.
1. Is a mask necessary to keep all the beams the same length as they scan? As the angle changes, the beam length would change unless a mask or something cuts them off at the floor level always.
2. Motion tween could probably be used to move the beam?
3. Would it be necessary to skew the beam as it sweeps as when it is slanted like that, the width of the beam gets wider as it sweeps away from you and more narrow as it sweeps closer to you.
4. Did you need to use alpha anywhere possobly when the beams cross each other or maybe when it is first turned on?
I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone can give, or steer me in the correct direction for some tutorial information.
I want to generate movielclips dynamically using xml nodes in a circular fashion (lets assume 360 degree circle). Suppose if i have 5 nodes in xml, then it has to generate only 5 movieclips in a circular fashion. and if it was 50, it has to generate 50 mc's in a circular fashion again.
