ActionScript 3.0 :: Play External Video Files In Flash Website?
Sep 4, 2009
I am a complete novice when it comes to flash and web design in general. I have purchased a flash template (url...) which I have been able to customise to my liking for a small production company. I am now completely stuck when it comes to integrating videos within the site. I understand that I need to have an Xml playlist and some action script that references the videos to the player, but I have no clue on what to do. I am looking to have a video begin as soon as the site loads and then have the buttons on the orange bar allow the user to navigate between other flv files. I would possibly be interested in including firther links on the video samples page.

I'm trying to get a video to play in my flash movie on my website everything plays o.k except the video dose anyone know what I may need to do to get the video to play? P/S The video plays in the test browsers but not after I upload it and all of the files are uploaded.
In my flash site there is a video player that I want to have an option of switching into full-screen mode. It's the video player that needs to be set to full screen, not the whole stage. How would I go about this?
I created a flash video using flash CS3, and I pulished the html. The flash worked fine on my computer. When I uploaded the file to my videos folder on my server the video worked. But when I had the link to play the file on another directory it failed to show the video or play.[code]...
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 created a website in Flash that is suppose to play a video with sound when the site opens. My logo then fades in over the video as it plays. I added the logo on it own timeline. On the web, my logo plays with the fade in effect correctly but the video is missing. The site works fine when I preview it but not on the web.
I am working on a system that requires me to be able to load large video files using Flash. However, the problem I am running into is that users need to be able to seek to a random point in the file that may or may not be downloaded yet and have it instantly start playing (think Youtube). The video files can be hosted anywhere, and thus I do not have the ability to install policy files or anything of the like.
I have looked into this, and cannot find any answers. Does anyone know of a way to enable this random seeking in Flash files without policy requests or an RTMP server installed at the destination?
I need to play the 3 video files in a video player. The files should execute one after the other in the flash video player and the files will be allocated dynamically from database.
I wish to play a video content (in a container) from my website/ blog, when the page is loaded . Similar to that of youtube, dailymotion etc. I wish to give the actual Url to that container, which then plays the video in that location.The basic idea is to hide the actual URL from the user and make the person to view the video from the current page.
Can't figure it out. I've got a video file to stream from my published Flash file. Works great at home.All the files are in a single folder. I transfer the folder to a jump drive to bring it to school and when I load it up on the website I get this green/black filer on the play skin andthe video won't play. I double check to see if I can play it on my school machinestraight off the jump drive and it doesn't work either (it did on my home machine).
It is easy to be confused I'd bet but I will try to spell it out very simple I have this micro site that has 4 flv videos linked from where I uploaded them. The videos seem to work fine, if I type in the directory to the site itself.. (mysite.com/myswf.swf)
But when i utilize a preloader file, that loads the site, the videos do not load. I figure it is some linking break in using a preloader swf. Because the preloader has a different name, then the site's swf, how should I write out the directory to the flv files in the site flash file so it can load when using a preloader
I'm trying to create an flv player to play a single video from a website. I can't seem to resize the playback window. Altering the width just seems to move the same small window around the screen.
Ideally I'd like it to go full-screen or at least fill the browser window. However, I don't even seem to have basic control at the moment. What am I doing wrong here?
Also, (and maybe this is related), I couldn't import fl.video.* in Flex Builder without placing the component first in my library resource using Flash. Is it possible to bypass this step and import directly in Flex Builder?
I have two external swf files which I need to load to the main page of the website, one is the about page which consist mostly of text, the other is an image gallery.Both of them have the same intro animation at the beginning.
My problem is, while testing the main page using bandwidth profiler, the about page loads beautifully, while the image gallery plays its animation first before it even finalizes to load the whole page.
if I repeat this IIS topic, I couldn't find the answer to my problem any where on the internet. I installed FMS Dev 3.5 on Win 2003 Server with IIS 6.0 enabled. I don't have any issue with port 80 Listening, I used the IP address 192.168.0.21 for my web application (IIS) and 192.168.0.22 for FMS (I only have one network card and port 1935 is open under firewall). I can play the sample videos (RTMP, HTTP, and Dynamic Stream) using the Flash Media Start Screen (or from the location C: Program FilesAdobe Flash Media Server 3.5webrootindex.html) without any problem.
I then modified the IIS Default Website to look at the "webroot" folder (C: Program FilesAdobe Flash Media Server 3.5webroot). From IE, I can access the default web site by enter http://192.168.0.21/index.html. The website loads up correctly, and the RTMP video is playing perfectly. However, if I click Play Video (HTTP) or Dynamic Stream (tab), I receive "Connection Error. Please press Play to try again." I look at the log file (access.01.log) and see the error log "Session disconnect
I'm using flex 3. I've successfully played video and audio files by using following libraries:
flash.media.Video flash.media.Sound Live docs link. But the limitations are as follow: Video class can be used to play only flv file format. To play mp3 files I must use audio file.
So can I play most of the famous audio/video files by using single method?
Well by checking the file type we can some how achieve it. Then I should create a component for that.
So can any one suggest me such ready-made components? or is there any other alternatives to play audio/video files?
I have 2 swf files that I would like to play back to back. What is the best approach for that? The first movie needs to finish playing and then be followed immediately by the second movie.
I could create a program for him in flash which would be able to play sounds corresponding to keys on the keyboard, but split in to 3 groups, and only 1 sound from each group can be playing at a time. I don't know that much about as3, and I told him this but said I would try anyway. The first thing I came up with was this:[code]In there, there's nothing to stop the sounds overlapping or looping like in my other solution, also it's obviously a lot less compact, but I sent it to my friend like that to see if it would at least play instantly. The response I got was that, although the lag was noticeably less, it was still present.
I've got a swf which uses AS 3 to load separate audio (mp3) and video (flv) files. The reason they're separate is because the audio is just background music while the video is navigatable. The video kinda goes along with the audio, but it's not imperative that the two sync perfectly. However, the audio always starts playing before enough of the video has loaded to begin streaming.I'm at a loss as to how to get the two to at least START at the same time.
I am trying to build a Flash banner ad which will be hosted on a site I have no access to. My client would like to have a button which, when clicked, would open a youtube video in a lightbox frame. I've been looking all around, but all I see that seems workable involves my being able to edit the html page. I am trying to do this with AS3 and Javascript. Some solutions involve JQuery, but I am not a JQuery pro.
I have masked the video clip. The masked clip is working fine. But the Actionscript 3, which contains 2 more SWF external movie clips not loading those files. Once I remove the mask they start working.
