I am trying to loop my external video with flash cs5, I know little about actionscript 3.0 . Haven't be able to get anywhere it uses a component called FLVPlackback. I started off with a flash template that I have tweaked to my needs Here is the .fla file I am adding the video I want to loop the the photos page
View 3 RepliesI 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 four flv videos (video1.flv, video2.flv,video3.flv and video4.flv) and I want to play them one after the other. When video4.flv is finished I need the movie to start playing video1.flv again and the rest after it, an endless loop. How can I do that? I'm using CS3 ,AS2 and Flash Player 9.
View 1 RepliesI'm new to Actionscript and also new here. I've seen a lot of posts on this topic here and elsewhere, but forgive me, as I am having a hard time getting my particular Actionscript to work.
My goal is to have an external mp3 start playing by default, then continuously loop back to the beginning and play each time it reaches its end. All the while, I need to be able to play and pause the mp3 with buttons.So far, I believe I have everything working correctly EXCEPT for getting the sound to loop while retaining the functionality of my buttons.

Here is my code that plays the video:
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 3 RepliesI am sure I am just over looking some simple true/false thing somewhere but I can't figure out how to loop an external (progressive download) FLA file with the new FLA Playback Component..
View 14 RepliesLink [URL] Problem is the video doesn't play online. It works offline. There's no script involved, I have manually sourced the flv to flv play back component. There's no folders all files are together and easy to find.
View 4 RepliesI 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).
I'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 is my flvplayback instance nameimport mx.video;
slumdog.playButton = my_playbut;
slumdog.pauseButton = my_pausebut;
slumdog.seekBar = my_seekbar;
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...

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:

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 RepliesDo 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 1 RepliesI want to add a simple audio control (play/pause/seek/volume) control to my flex application.
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 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);

Instead of typing out aList.addItem({label:, data:}) for each item, how can I use a loop to populate each item in a List component? I figure I will store the info that goes into the label: and data: areas in an external XML file.
Here is the coding I have now and it works great:
aList.addItem({label:"Blue", data:0x0000CC});
aList.addItem({label:"Green", data:0x00CC00});
aList.addItem({label:"Yellow", data:0xFFFF00});

I've noticed, that placing an FLVPlayBack component on Stage, instancenaming it myFLVPlayer and using this code:
Code: Select allmyFLVPlayer.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
function playAgain(e:Event):void {
trace("starting over");

I'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.
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.
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.
View 4 RepliesI am ramping up a Flash Media Interactive Server ver 3.5. My question is - I don't have Flash CS4, -does the flvPlayback component in it allow netstream connection control to facilitate FMIS connections? One that allows fullscreen for VOD streaming would be what I need.
View 2 RepliesI've created a site in CS4/AS3 (my first site, so I'm still pretty new at Flash and especially AS3). The site contains a number of embedded movieclips. For each movieclip, the user needs to be able to control the playback. I've created a play/pause button that works but I cannot figure out how to use the seekbar component so that the user can move around within the movieclip. Is the seekbar component only for manipulating video files? If so, how might I go about creating a seekbar-type feature for movieclips?
View 3 RepliesI just spent 2 hours scouring the web for the answer. All I'm seeing is a whole lot of "how do you do it" and a lot of "do a google search for it'. I found a tutorial for CS4 that looked promising yet when I tried it in CS5 the damned Preview attribute (or whatever) just sits there looking at me. You're supposed to be able to click on it and choose a frame. I click and double click and nothing happens.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to get the f4v movie called myMovie.f4v to move forward one frame at a time every 10 seconds. I created a countdown that makes the movie play after x amount of seconds but I need to make the movie advance only one frame and the count again.

import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var flvPlayer:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();

I need to change this line to step the movie one frame forward kind of a play next frame.
