I am using the following code to load my video into the playback component, but the video is the wrong size, it's too small and isn't centered in the video player.
Code:
import fl.video.*;
var myVideo:FLVPlayback;
myVideo = new FLVPlayback();
myVideo.source = "videos/Logo Animation WEB.mp4";
myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completePlay);

I 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 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 loaded an external video with playback component in Flash CS4.
Now the question is do I need to add streaming script or not?
I have a frame where I have added an flv playback component to play a flv file. Everything plays fine, but when I test the file and navagate away from the frame that the playback component is on, the video continues playing.
Is there any way to get the video to stop when the user navigates away from the frame? I'm sure this could be done if I add the video using AS 3.0 (that is what the navigation of the site is coded with).
We're creating video that is destined for multiple countries - we've created a framework that has a video page (using the FLV playback component, w an external FLV w/ progressive download) for the given languages we're using, and subtitles for each, etc.. Until now, we've been using the same English video & audio for each, but the client is looking into having the videos dubbed into different languages.
We're hoping to avoid re-encoding the video for each language in order to accommodate for the different audio tracks. Also, having different video files for each language would mean using more storage (since we're talking about a lot of video files, so it adds up). Is there a way to use FLV playback to progressive download an FLV file (video only) while playing a separate mp3 file? Most inquiries into playing separate audio and video has led me to embedding video, which isn't feasible in our case.
I'm Loading an FLV in flash using FLV Playback component in as3. And simultaneously i'm running sound on Phone. It syncs properly in my machine. But it is giving me terrible delay in slower machines. So is there any way to control the framerate of the FLV so that it can sync properly with sound.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do a site with multiple videos, and I figured that instead of adding frames with new instances of the Playback component, it would be nice if I could get it working by just passing some actionscript to the component on the click of a button.
Here's what doesn't work:
Code:
on (release) {
_root.videoPlayer.loadMovie("Videos/theVideo.flv");
}
videoPlayer is the name of my Playback component. This does cause an interruption, as the video that's currently playing disappears, so it appears it's at least trying to load it, but it certainly won't play that video.
I've been given a video url that I want to pull into an the flvplayback component. The url for the video I've been given is:The problem is when I set the contentPath with the above url the component won't load the video with the extra parameters ?var_log=102|441100001-1|- added as it says the path must end with .flvI am asumming that the video provider needs this extra var/parameter to be called in order to track the number of video requests, in which case I will need to keep this in.
View 2 RepliesThere seems to be tutorials on starting the next video at completion of the previous one using the FLV2.5 Playback component, but stopping a video playback event when a new one is triggered. Ex. Video one button is clicked and video starts playing, viewer clicks video two button mid way through playback of video one and starts video two. How do I stop the playback of video one when video two button is clicked to avoid both playing simultaneously?
I have used:
if (snd ! = null) {
channel.stop();
}

I'm attempting to use Flash for displaying "scrolls" on our educational access channel. I have an announcement on each frame, which has a 7 sec delay, and a footer that displays the current time. What I would like to do, using the vars the Hours and the Minutes trigger a command that at a set time, like 8:20, it would jump to another swf file that might contain a video playback component. I can't seem to come up with the right combination to trigger it a set time. Here is what the frame 1 AS contains.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var wT:uint = 1000; //wT = waitingTime
var ttL:uint = 1; //ttL = times to loop
function customTimer (timeToWait:int = 1):void {

everyone out there that is smarter than me. I have made this little prototype video player, and it isn't working. It'll eventually become a nice little player show videos from our summer camp for the last few years, but first I want to make it work in a basic stripped down version. There is a playback component with one of the skins right above the three buttons.
Here's the ActionScript: btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid1);btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid2);btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid3);
function vid1(e:Event):void{vidPlayer.source = "Video1.flv"};function vid2(e:Event):void{vidPlayer.source = "Video2.flv"}; function vid3(e:Event):void{vidPlayer.source = "Video3.flv"};
It runs fine when I test in in flash and even the .swf file runs fine alone, but when I put it in a .html file via Dreamweaver and in the published .html it doesn't run. What up?
I like to make a fullscreen desktop application, with an FLV, using the FLV Playback component. However, I�d like there to be a Fullscreen button on the playback component, which will allow the user to toggle the video fullscreen.I cant, for the life of me, figure out how to do this with various settings�it should be easy! This is what I have--is there a better way to do things (without a custom movie player)? My inital settings are as follows:
Code:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
theMovie.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
Then I have a function which should work--but my button won't appear in fullscreen--Can I apply this function to the built-in fullscreen button?:
Code:
function handleClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if ( !theMovie.fullScreenTakeOver )[code]....
I have my main file which is built in AS3 and I am loading some older AS2 files. These AS2 files have some video in it and use the FLVPlayback Component. When I click my button to load the AS2 swf, they load fine and the video plays. When I hit my back button, I do a simple removeChild on my swfLoader object (Loader). When I go to open a different AS2 movie with video, the video does not work, however, if I restart the movie and click that AS2 movie first the video plays fine. Essentially whichever AS2 swf I load first the video works. Any of the SWFs after that, the video doesn't.
View 6 RepliesI am using Flash Professional 8 and Dreamweaver 8 to maintain a website. I have just started using flash to show video highlights from high school football games which I record. Using iMovie I export the video as quicktime file and then import to flash to convert to a flash video file to post on the web site. The video coming out of iMovie has very good contrast and the quicktime movie has the same good contrast. When looking at the file in Flash the contrast changes dramatically. I becomes washed out. I am using Max OX 10.6 operating system.

import fl.video.*; var myVideo:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback(); myVideo.source = "video.flv"; } addChild(myVideo);
How to I set the size of the video? I have tried "myVideo.videoWidth = 400;" but that gives me an error.
I know you can put a playback component on a FLV. Is it possible to have a playback component on a swf?

View 4 RepliesI'm having a problem with the playbuttons, pausebutton and seekbar that I use on my flvplayback video. I don't know why, but these buttonaren's doing anything. I have put this code :

slumdog.playButton = my_playbut;
slumdog.pauseButton = my_pausebut;

I created a video in After Effects and rendered the output to an .flv, works fine when I embed in html and upload to my server. But now I'm having a problem with the next phase and that's adding a link to the flv using Cue points. I read the tutes on this but cannot get past the following. First I tested this by importing the flv picking the skin for the player and importing straight to an html page in Dreamweaver. I uploaded the html, flv and player to the server and it works great.
Now I need to add a url link to a certain frame of the flv and read the tute on how to import the flv into a new fla file, I see where I can scrub the timeline inside the flv and thought I was home free as all I had to do was upload and add the cue points. But now I see where I had to take the .flv and import as video to a new fla and after importing the flv it clearly states that the component will only play locally. After making sure the flv was on the server I uploaded the html and swf. When I try to playback from the server I get a browser Which is named "Flash Player Installation" with a blank screen.
I'm using the flvPlayback and Captioning component/skin for some videos. Works great, but I can't figure out how to have the captions off by default and use the caption button to turn them on for users who want to see the caption buttons.
flvCaption.showCaptions=false;
Hides the captions, but also disables the captionButton in the skin, so there is no way to toggle showing and hiding the captions.
I am importing 4 videos flv with playback component. When a video is loading, I would like an mc to be visible (like a loading mc e.g.youtube) to be sure the users understands that it's working and loading. But when it starts to play, the mc needs to disappear.So I imagine something like this code is a start
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
vid1.addEventListener(VideoEvent.LOADING.videoLoad );
function videoLoad(e:VideoEvent){

i am trying to create a custom skin for my FLV component in CS5 ..but adobe's fla files have errors when i decompile...I get this error...
Actionscript Code:
Error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile - time constant : NetStreamPlayOtions
When i do publish flash does recognise the custom.swf skin...when i do add it in my movie though i get this error
Actionscript Code:
Error #2044: Unhandled skinError:. text=Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Do i need to use the FLV playback component to load FLV files or can i load FLV files using loadMovie and use them like loaded SWF files? Can FLV files be loaded using ActionScript 1?
I searched for simple examples on how to load an FLV but i can't find any examples..
I have an FLV Playback component in a website that I'm working on and for some odd reason the controls do not work. The video loads and plays fine and the controls appear but you cant click on anything like you can when you assign the skin in the parameters. It is a default Flash skin. At first I thought it was due to the video layer being under a mask, so I moved it on top and it didnt change anything.

View 3 RepliesI've never extended a component class in AS2, and I'm having problems with it now.
Here's my class file:
Actionscript Code:
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;import mx.video.*;class AkamaiFLVPlayback extends FLVPlayback{
public function AkamaiFLVPlayback(){
super()}}
Here's how I'm trying to instantiate it from the FLA:
Actionscript Code:
import AkamaiFLVPlaybackvar g = new AkamaiFLVPlayback()this.attachMovie(g,myVid,1)g.contentPath = "[URL]"
Now this does not work at all. I can see that the super class FLVPlayback is creating variables, but it's not loading to the stage or initializing.
Can you tab into CS3 Playback components or control them with keyboard commands in a regular (non screenreader) browser like IE? If not, can you in CS4? I believe that all screen readers can control Flash playback now, correct? But I have a higher up who wants it to be keyboard controlled as well.
