ActionScript 3.0 :: Manual Scrubbar On Frame-based Video?
Mar 30, 2010
I have an embedded video (can't be a separate FLV) named videoMC and I need to move the playhead back and forth by moving scrubberMC horizontally on the stage. Lets say videoMC has 300 frames, I would like this to dynamically calculate based on the total number of frames in videoMC rather than just using 300 as a number, in case the video's duration changes.In mimicking a regular video player I want to have a line graphic indicating the total length of the movie so I need to be able to constrain all scrubberMC movement to that area.
I am looking for a very easy way to make a video player which just controled by the scrubbar. I have tried the Componet Seek Bar but that doesn't enable the viewer to scrub the bar. I am wanting to use the Scrubbar Player to view 3d models. At Zbrush they have a Scrubbar player [URL] once there click on one of the pics to view scrubbar turntable viewer. Would love to be able to show my models in this fashion.
[URL]I'd like to know how do they create this type of interactive training video. Did they record the video with the mouse first then added the interaction and sound with flash?
i have a pb of memory leak:i using flash.media.video to read video i have function to do frame by frame:FrameBuffer is an Array containing my video frame, lastimg is Bitmap object
I suppose the title says it all. I can load an external video file (FLV) and I can have it play. I also have the custom buttons made to control the clip. The only thing I have left to do is to have the main timeline move onto frame 2 once the external video reaches its end. I am using actionscript 3 and flash cs 5.5.
i've recently installed Wowza media server 2 locally, currently only for testing purposes.everything works fine, except of accurate seeking functionality - or in other words advancing frame-by-frame .when i use VLC to play my video file i have no problems advancing frame-by-frame. however, when i use the 'seek()' function to move the playhead a fraction of a second, its seems to move only to the next key frame (meaning that only once every few mouse clicks the playhead advances dramatically).
I know how to make a video (instanced as showreel) stop when clicking on a button that that navigates to another section/frame, since otherwise I would still listen to that video while not visible. The problem is when I'm in another frame that doesn't have that video, when clicking on the menu to go to whichever other frame, it looks for that it to stop if it's playing and it and doesn't find it, and so there's an error.
How can solve this? Maybe I should put an order saying something like if there exists a video in that frame instanced as sowreel, stop it, otherwise don't do anything as there is nothing to be stopped. Or assign the order to the frame (which is called motion), but I don't know how to do that, can someone help? The code I have is:
I attached the code here. The problem is after importing the video in the first frame while navigating the video sound is heard which means the video is still playing. How can I stop it when moving to other section. Here is code
I attempted to update to 4.0.1, there was some kind of error and now many things are messed up. Essentially because of missing DLLs, the irony being that I figured out the problem and it wasn't related to the update at all. Is there any way that I can revert back to version 4.0.0 manually? Because I still have the 4.0.0 folder with all the required dlls and such..
I need to have the ability to go to a specific frame in a timeline based on what the web address is. I basically want to play an intro for my index page only and skip to frame 30 for all other pages. Example [URL]
I am using Flash MX 2004, aka Flash 7, and Actionscript 1. What I have is a movie clip that plays on frame one. Its a variation of loading screen. What I want to do is make it so that when the movie clip is on its last frame (frame 100), then it switches to frame 2. NOT frame 2 of the movie clip, but frame 2 of the overall project.
Code: if (_root.loader._currentframe == 100) { _root.gotoAndPlay(2); } (movie clip is called loader)
I have also tried naming frame 2 "finishedLoading" and just "2", but it still will not go.What happens is, when the movie clip animation is finished and on frame 100, it just sits there. I had to put a stop(); in frame 1 so that the animation could play, but it stays stopped. This was all done after I tried the logical approach where inside of the movie clip on frame 100 of the movie clip, I made an "Actions" layer and on frame 100 keyframe, I put:
Code: gotoAndPlay(2); I also tried Code: gotoAndPlay("finishedLoading"); and Code: gotoAndPlay("2");
I have even resorted to the last resort. I put tried to make a variable so that when the movie clip is on frame 100, that "var finishedLoading" would be set to true, and then: Code: if (finishedLoading == true) { // } Inside of the comment would be gotoAndPlay(x);
I have a maths-based movie on which a number of points are allocated depending on the answers given to a series of multiple choice questions.
At the end of it, a person will score somewhere between 1 and 10 points depending on the answers they gave.
I have got to the stage where the system keeps track of the cumulative score, and at the conclusion, I have a text field on stage, which has an instance name of "results". When the person enters the frame, the results field displays the total number of points scored.
That is ok, but what I actually would like to happen is that the movie jumps to a different frame based on that figure, so that if they score 2, it would take them to the frame labelled "two" and if they score 9, it takes them to frame "nine"
Is there a way of effectively saying:
On frame enter if results.text = 1 go to "one"; if results.text = 2 go to "two" etc etc
I am building a very long and detailed flash training program. I need to get a MovieClip to goto a certain frame based on the value of a variable that is defined on a keyPress.
Here is the code: fscommand("trapallkeys", "true"); trace(nmhho);//show the value every time this frame loads if (nmhho == 1){ Nav_Mode_Hdng_Hold_Override.gotoAndPlay(2); }else if (nmhho == 0){ Nav_Mode_Hdng_Hold_Override.gotoAndPlay(1); [Code] .....
The MovieClip in question is "Nav_Mode_Hdng_Hold_Override" "nmhho" is a number variable that is already defined and set to 0 initially, on keyPress of 9 it changes to 1, and when u press it again it changes back to 0, the problem is that when the page loads the "IF" statement at the beginning does not tell the movieclip to go to the proper frame.
The website I am currently making is quite dark so before the user enters the website I want them to drag a slider until text onscreen is a suitable brightness then when they click enter to continue into the site I need the background mc to go to a frame relative to where the slider was.
I have a flash file of a snowman doing various activities. He's doing 7 different things (all individual movie clips) and I place each of the movie clips on the first 7 frames, I placed a stop action on each one.Here is the code I used
var myDate = new Date(); var localHours = this.myDate.getHours(); if (this.localHours>=6 || this.localHours<=18)
I want to create something similar to "Karrine Cast" on http://www.karrine.com/home/ - something where I can record myself on web cam every week and then upload it and display it in flash. Without having to open up flash and render it into FLV, then import it, do coding etc change my move etc. Something simple, quick and easy to be able to display videos. Is there a tutorial or some sort of premade code that would allow me to do this?
I'm wanting to create a xml based video playlist like the one on the link below. I've searched Flashkit and the web and found a few things, but nothing really close in operation or that I could use.
So I downloaded this as3flvplayer script, but it hasn't been updated in over a year and has no documentation. It is based off loading the video from XML, but I would like to change it to where I can specify a URL parameter instead.
I have an XML list that I need to sometimes sort manually, is that possible?So I have a main navigation system of tabs, (All Projects, Web Sites, Logos and Presentations)When the user clicks a tab say "Logos" on the main navigation system it filters the XML pages to show just the projects that have say Logos.Then the user selects one project and sees the details for that project, a large image with sub nav on the left built from the XML you see down below.This works.What I would like to do now is change the order that my XML buttons appear in the sub nav depending on what main nav tab they have clicked.Say they click "logos" I want the logo links will appear before the web site links.[code]
I have created a movieclip that is simply asking a question and the user chooses from a list of Radio buttons.I have set this up and it works fine, but I cannot figure out how to set up a "Next" button or a "Submit" button that, depending on the radio button choice made, the user goes to a specific frame or label.I bought the Adobe Flash CS5 bible, but there seems to be little information on controlling Radio buttons, only how to set them up to test.
I am attempting to create 360 degree spin-around product viewer. So far I have a movie clip with 24 frames, each one with a different 15 degree angle shot of the product. Upon playback of the movie, the product appears 3D, spinning 360 degrees.
That was the easy part. Now what I need is to be able to click and drag the product to change which view you are seeing (or which frame in the mc you are on) thus producing a spinning effect. How can you code, in AS3.0, that when the mouse is clicked and drug, go to a certain frame based on the current X position of the mouse?
I have to create dynamic content based on content uploaded to site and I need to know best tools for this.In a nutshell. User uploads images. Images embeded into existing video and animated. New video produced for download So far I have looked at Flash Media Server, Flex etc but not sure what the best tool is for the server side production of content. I know I can produce the custom MXML and AS files based on content uploaded and using the Flex SDK I can render these into a SWF. What I don't know is if There are limiatations to this in the context of what I want to achieve For instance can a product like Flash Media Server do something similar.Transcoding is also required hence the interest in FMS.
I have a .swf in my rails application, located here:
/public/bin/editor/Editor.swf
It works fine, with one flaw, it gets cached often, so when we release a new version we are usually needing to tell the customers to clear their cache when they experience issues. My question is, how could I force the .swf to break cache when I release a new version? Something like:
