I'm working with Actionscript 3.0 and I'm working on a project that requires me to know where a certain point in a video is at all times and have it relay that information to me via trace. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to select a point within the video and getting that point to move with the subject.

I'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]
I have a project where I am bringing in one video with a cue point at the very end with the name of "End." I'm trying to have the next video play when the first video reaches that cue point. I keep getting this error: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MetadataEvent. Here is the relevant code I believe:

I have trouble in choosing between external video with playback component and embedded video . I have tried adding video to dynamic page and everything is perfect .This video I have imported using the option File ->import video -> external video with playback component. If I try to execute flv on another system , the video is not playing eventhough it is in library.
So, I have imported video using the option of embedded video and this worked fine on another systems as it embeds video. The video plays for only 2 min 54 sec. I have compressed the bit rate to how much ever I can in premier pro. It resulted in reducing the size of the file but still I see the video occupying more than 3500 frames in the timeline. I feel this is not optimal.
i have an embedded video in my .fla. It's like the "background" of the scene. I need to slow down this video in a specific keyframe, and then return to the normal speed.
View 2 RepliesI have a video on a page and I cannot get the play list control to appear above it. I have set the z-index of the play list to 99999 but the video is still being rendered on top of it.
Here is an image that shows the problem and the CSS. I have tried setting the z-index of the video to -1, 1 etc. So my question is, how do I force the flash video to appear below the play list?
i'm trying to figure out how to get an embedded video I have to when it completes start a new function. For example I have running.flv embedded in a movieclip timeline called p2. And I want to have actionscript know when the video ends and start a new movieclip
View 2 Replieshow to make a video start playing at a specified point in the middle of the video rather than from the beginning. Not sure if it's something that easily can be done in Dreamweaver or if it's involved with the flash settings.
View 21 RepliesI'm having trouble with a simple AS3 (CS5.5) project I have imported a video encoded through Adobe media encoder as a FLV file and have added a Navigation Cue Point at the end of the video as I would like the video to simply go to a frame number when the video has ended so it doesn't stop on that video.
I have used a code I have used on many occasions in AS2 which I put on a keyframe at the top where the video runs under and give the video an instance name of vid:
[Code]..
Ideally I just want the code go to a frame number when the video finishes instead of staying on the video.
I have a video that I don't want the beginning of, I know how to set the Cue Points but I am not very familiar with ActionScript 3.0 and would like to learn some code to start my video out at a cue point so I can put this video inside another flash video.
View 0 RepliesI'm simply trying to load an external swf on a cue point in an F4V video. I used the FLVPlayback component to add a cue point where I want it, and I have a separate swf that's just an animated button I want to play, but I can't figure out the AS to use to play the swf on the cue point.
View 2 RepliesUsing flash 8 pro, I've imported a video clip and embedded cue points at the first and last frames - these are named 'intro' and 'outro'. I have the flv paused at the first and last frames via the component inspector, and it is a 'talking head' type affair - all good so far.
At the very end of the video clip I want the 'outro' cue point to dynamically load a movie clip from the library with the linkage name 'p-overlay_mc' which will, in effect, blend a logo over the video when it ends. Can this be done?
I guess this sort of cue point triggered event is the equivalent of an 'enterFrame' event. My guess is that i will need a script from the root timeline targetting the cue point within the .flv, but i really don't know the script needed.
I have a flash header built that contains a embedded video how can i stop the embedded video but not the rest of the movie?
View 1 RepliesThis is driving me nuts folks. I've imported a video clip to my stage, added a skin for stop, play, pause etc. I test the Flash file using Control --> Test Movie and everything appears exactly as I want it to.
The problem is that when I upload the files to my server the embedded video clip does not appear, nor does the skin. Just a blank space
I'm building a flash website where I'll show my tv commercial works. In the flash project I placed a FLVPlayback component that will play different flv videos. Those videos look very good and crispy when played in quicktime player. But when I export the swf from flash and play it the videos look bad with a lot of compression artifacts and pixelation.To show you what I exactly mean you can go to my website (url...) and click the 8th video in the scroll panel. Compare it's quality with the link to which refers the (url...)
View 1 RepliesI have created a preloader, to load a single swf file, that has embedded video and sound.It works when I test it, using Air 2.6 settings. But when I compile it, the swf plays, but the sound and video are missing in the swf. I addded the swf, the mp3, and flv files to be included in the Air app. Do I need to add a reference to them as well in the code, or is there some other reason they may not be appearing? Do I need to load the src files into the library of the preloader?
If I play the original swf, that is being called and loaded, it plays with the sound and video. The original swf, the sound src and the video src are all in the same directory with the preloader.fla.
Here is my code for the preloader. It is all in frame 1 of my flash file.The file does not have anything else, other than the dynamic text instance "percent" on the stage.

Does anyone know of any tutorials that explain how to make a seek bar with a handle that will be linked to the main timeline, so that when you move the handle the animation will move too, e.g. if you drag the handle to the centre of the bar then it will skip to the middle of the animation?
I currently have a handle that move on the x axis with in a set boundary, but not sure how to link it to the main timeline.
I would like to play a video in full screen. This is no problem when the swf resides embedded in a HTML document on itself, but..
..now it's loaded into another swf file called 'container.swf' (look at picture A).When the fullscreen function is called from within the swf file that contain the video and the fullscreen button, it goes to picture B. The other two swf files (swf1 and swf2) also goes into fullscreen. My desired result would be picture C.The video goes fullscreen within it's own swf file and does not "take over" the whole screen.
I have been working on a project, its a digital portfolio. Now I have the Host Movie and and then I have a submovie which is loaded into the Host movie. That all works fine!
I have embedded a video onto the stage and when I click the exit button to go back to my host the video still plays.[code]...
How to embed video in flash?
View 2 Repliesi've done work with dynamic .flvs (streaming and prog dl) but never really embedded an .flv in the timeline.
now i've got three of them embedded and i need to detect when each has finished playing (they will rotate).
I can't seem to find any good info on how to control playback on an embedded flv (i chose to embed them inside movieclip symbols).
I have a swf that contains two layers, one with embedded video, one with some other crap. Either through actionscript and/or a transparent button, I want the movie to repeat endlessly on rollover and stop on rollout. I understand the basics of how buttons and movieclips work, but I have not been able to convert the embedded video into a movieclip to make this easy.
View 2 Repliesis it possible to embed video into swf because i want video to be loaded on beginning(with loader) instead loading from external file and having glitches.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on creating a simple projection mapping application in flash for a class. One of the biggest hurdles is superimposing a video in "3D". The way I intend to do this, is to transform the individual points of the video to match the cubes I'm projecting on.
View 8 RepliesI've been working on a video-centric project that requires a very specifically designed video player, which I've built from scratch -- no skin. Things were going great until I actually uploaded the video and SWF to my server and tried it out. Here's the issue: The video, which is an F4V that's been imported into Flash as an external asset -- I'm not using NetStream, nor am I using a Flash media server -- starts loading almost immediately. But when you use the custom-built scrubber bar to jump ahead in the video, it freezes up until, I presume, the video has loaded to that point, at which time the video starts again. If you open the SWF and let it sit for a few minutes, this isn't an issue -- you can jump back and forth as much as you want.
So clearly the problem here is that the video is loading from the beginning and the user can only get to a certain frame when that frame has already been loaded. But it must be possible to start loading from a specified point, right? After all, the video doesn't load all together and become available only when the whole thing is done. It starts loading at 0:00 and continues progressively. I just want to change where it starts loading by telling it not only to play at that point but to start loading at that point, too.
I am trying to control the audio of an embedded video from a mute button. I can get the audio to play and the mute button to control the volume using the following script:
var my_nc:NetConnection=new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect(null);
var my_ns:NetStream=new NetStream(my_nc);
[code]....
The problem I am having with this is that the video is not appearing on the stage and when I place it on the stage the audio is playing twice. how I can get it to appear on the stage and still control the sound as the button is doing at the moment?
So I want to embed a FLV in my flash so that I just have ONE SWF that contains everything. I know if I say "load external video with playback component" I will end up with a swf, html and the flv- this is NOT what I want so please don't ask me why I'm not using this option. "Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline" is EXACTLY what I want- the result is just a single SWF. Here is the question: How do I get a video player if I embed a FLV in flash?
I know if I load the video external I will get some nice players - exactly what I want. How do I get a player if the video is embedded? Are there any coded player templates on the net? I couldn't find anything on google I could use but I've to admit I'm not too good at AS.
I can't seem to download the flash files from the address.i click on page info and find the embeded flash,but can't download it. Another, how can I convert flash files from youtube to my ipod?

View 1 RepliesI am new to Flash and this may sound, well dumb but here it goes. I have taken some video files from Final Cut Pro converted them to FLV's imported them and embedded them into flash to create some banners for the web. I need to know what settings I should use to get these out of Flash for the web.
Also I need to send them to someone to look at before publishing. What would be the best format to do that in and how to do it.
Also has anyone has any experience creating banners in or online ads in a Video format like FCP and embedding them into a flash file to export them in flash for we publishing. Sorry again for the dumb question, just new to Flash.
