got some FLVPlayback playback problems on IE7. Videos start after too much time. try and click on the right banners:

Did you ever had some similar problem? Do you think that maybe there's some solution? Does FLVPlayback do a progressive download by default? Could raising the default bufferTime (0.1)
I am using FLVPlayback Component in Flash AS3 to play an F4V video hosted on a different server. I want it to start playing as soon as possible, but the video won't start playing until the F4V is completely downloaded (I checked with Firebug). I tried fooling around with the component's bufferTime parameter, but it didn't seem to make a difference. For what it's worth, the SWF is being embedded in a Facebook profile using the FBML tag fb:swf, although I can't see how that would make a difference here.
View 1 RepliesI'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.
I have come a little closer with my project, and still need some help please. I have 5 Flvs which i want to play randomly on this page [url]....The .fla file I have created contains this code:
var files:Array = [ "Sz01Puppet.flv", "Sz02Puppet.flv", "Sz03Puppet.flv", "Sz04Puppet.flv", "Sz05Puppet.flv" ];
var shuffledFiles:Array = shuffleArray(files);
//quick test[code].....
This script works. In the Output every flv is listed randomly, and then repeated. Next up i want this AS Script to work with an FLV Component.But how to I get that to work?In my library I have the 5 flvs, and flvplayback component.I dragged the FLVPlayback component to the stage, but I can only add one flv in the source. How do I get my working actionscript to work with the FLVPlayback component.how my screen looks like.
I have an movieclip playing as auto start on the first page of my website. The component continues to play when I navigate away from the page. How can I stop the playback of the movie if it has not completed when navigation away from the page is invoked. I have search and am unable to find such an event using an FLVPlayback component. Presently there is no code in actionscript to display here.
View 13 RepliesI am wanting to play a number of movie clips and flash produced video clips. On the main timeline I have a frame for each clip I want to play. In that frame is a flash movie that contains the video that I have embedded onto the timeline for the movie. The filesize for this project is massive and I am struggling to work on the file. I want to be able to play the video files with the playback component in each of the frames where the video was.

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.
im working with games ryt now, im animator, my knowlegde in scripting is basic, im just curious with my project right now, i need to provide the .fla the problem with my .fla is to big, 200mb, is there any way to reduce the .fla without editing the inside of .fla,

All variables start offset by 1 (a=1, b+2, c+3, etc..)I want the values to all start over when they reach 7.You can see the lower half of code displays these images, basically rotating around a circle.What is most efficient way to script? I assume an array.
a += 1; if (a==7) {a=1};
b += 1; if (b==7) {b=1};
c += 1; if (c==7) {c=1};

So I have 10 buttons, and I would like them to all do similar actions, but I was wondering if it's possible to optimize the code somehow.
When you rollover the button I would like it to alpha IN, and then when you rollout I'd like it to alpha OUT. Lastly, onPress I'd like to go to a different keyframe in the scene.[code]...
Is it better to optimize an image before importing it into Flash, or letting Flash optimize it during the export?

View 4 RepliesI'm building an application in Actionscript using Flash assets, and my frame rate becomes very low (~7 fps) when I attempt to render 20+ assets on the screen, even though most of those assets are stopped movie clips. I've tried setting .cacheAsBitmap to true, which helps a bit, but not enough. What else can I do to get the frame rate up? I've noticed that some movie clips seem to impact it more than others, but I'm not sure how to alter them to make them easier to render.

I build games, which tend to run slowly when there are more than a dozen or so graphics being moved about the stage. I feel that my code is clean (I have researched code optimization) but not sure how I can make improvements with graphics. Currently, all graphics are created in Photoshop and imported to Flash as .png (I need semi-transparency, hence the .png format). I then set the image quality to low inside the library.
Every image usually resides within its' own sprite or movieClip. My games seem to slow down a fair deal when an image is introduced (such as a semi-transparent cloud drifting across the screen). Is there a special way to handle images when performance is an issue? I've only heard of stuff like cacheAsBitmap and other such fancy terms.
i'm making a website and it has some parts with flash such as the background. You can see the site here: [URL] You will see that the preloading of the background is too long beacuse i have 4 images as background in the library. the images are 950 x 650 pixel jpegs that in the library use the Photo(compression). So when the swf is on loading it take a lot of time.

I'm just installing Apparat, and I'm interested in using it to optimize my SWFs.
On its google code page some optimizations are listed out .. sliding window, flowgraph ... so is it possible to make use of these optimizations? how?
I have heard of the -reducer command, does it perform the optimizations? are there other commands you can use? or do you have to build apparat yourself and access it via scala?
I have this code:
ActionScript Code:
variables.ex1 = this["ex" + exerciseID].text;
variables.ex2 = this["ex" + exerciseID].text;
variables.ex3 = this["ex" + exerciseID].text;
variables.ex4 = this["ex" + exerciseID].text;
variables.ex5 = this["ex" + exerciseID].text;
variables.ex6 = this["ex" + exerciseID].text;
variables.ex7 = this["ex" + exerciseID].text;
But I want to optimize this. I want those variables "variables.ex1, variables.ex2, etc" are dynamic.

I work on a big Flash project as the web backend guy that delivers all the files and assets to the main application SWF. Our last, really big packet of data are all the assets and sounds contained in swf files that are imported during the preloader.Are there any ways to optimize this process in any way? I'm really looking for ideas in any direction, no matter if its in the swf, the process of loading and so on. Also I look for solutions for the first time load (empty cache) and for consequent loads (prefilled cache).
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a flash project that incorporates a lot of artwork done in Illustrator CS4. I've been copy-pasting directly from Illustrator into Flash, and I add some animations as well. Final file is going to be a one single swf file which will be a part of UI for an application and .net will be the core for this. But now flash becomes unusable slow to respond for actions. My machine is a fast i7 with 6gb of RAM, so I don't think that's the issue. We are going to use this file with dual core atom processors. Does anyone have ideas for alternative importing techniques, optimizations within illustrator, anything at all that will make this more manageable?
