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]...

I have an array of videos coming from an XML doc. I am getting the name of my video in the trace statement okay, but am not sure how to go about loading the FLV video into the player.I have an FLVPlayback component on the interface named "video". The video I'm going to load will be ("videos/" + videoArray[0]))

View 1 RepliesI have a clip with one FLVPlayback component and several buttons which load different flvs into the component. If you click one button, then quickly click another button before the flv is ready to play from the last button, it tries to load both, and the component disappears.I put a trace to print out the source I'm loading, and a trace on the Ready event to tell me what the source of the component is, and I get something like this.[code]I should only get the second ready trace, because loading the second vid should override the loading of the first.So is there some way to kill the loading process before loading the next vid? I tried closeVideo Player, but I'm not using netStream, and I only have one video player, so I don't want to delete it.

View 1 RepliesI'm currently trying to use the FLVPlayback component and pass a source FLV that's living on a cloudfront webserver. The problem is that the cloudfront requires authentication in the form of query strings in the source FLV. For example:[code]It adds on "&FLVPlaybackVersion= 2.1" to the end.I saw a different article that said I should add a dummy variable at the end like "&dummy=.flv" because I was told that Flash is basically looking for an .flv extension at the end and you can trick it, but it doesn't work because they add on additional code.

View 5 RepliesI 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 have an interactive presentation which will have a small barker video with audio in the corner which will play through and loop as the user is moving through the presentation. On some screens of the presentation, I won't have room for the video, so I'll need to hide the video, but continue to play the audio from the same point.I thought the easiest way to accomplish this would be to just use a "skinless" FLVPlayback component which I could then just set to visible=false when I need to hide the video.
However, the FLVPlayback component seems to want a URL to an external FLV file. I would prefer to just include the FLV in the FLA's library, so that I don't have to keep track where the external FLV is, or make sure that the published SWF can find the folder where the external FLV is stored.So, is there a way to point FLVPlayback.source to an FLV asset in the Library instead of giving it an external URL?I realize I could just import the FLV to the library and add it to the stage manually at authortime;
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:

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:

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.

An error like this appears: "NetsStream.Play.StreamNotFound", saying that there is no video file there I also try with absolute paths, with slashes instead of backslashes..., and I just get to get it working if I copy this video file in the same folder in which lesson11_start.fla is, and enter "solution5.f4v".
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?

to make a fast forward and backward functionality for my FLVPlayback I want to use the seek method to jump a second from the current video position. I tried to read the current time by .. video_mc.videoPlayers[0].netStream.time but I get an error message that this might not exist. How do I get the time where the video is? Or is there even a better method to do this?
