I have some .mov files I need to play with the flvPlayback component. When I had them in my actionscript it does not work. I've read allot and it says that the component will play mov video but it does not for me.
I am running CS4 with FlashPlayer 10 and AS3.
I link my mp4 video directly using video.source = "my.mp4" in AS3 and the link is not broken, but then player keeps on loading forever.

I am using As3 to add to the stage dynamically, now what seems to be happening is the video is playing before I add the containerFour - how can I code this, so that the video only begins to play when I add containerFour, and not before it?
How to record a live video stream playing on an FLVPlayback?
View 1 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 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.

Flash CS3, and I have an FLV video(40 seconds) and a postcard which I want to show in the video farme after the video is complete. The postcard at the end will a link to a URL I've tried all the codes I could find on the internet, but I couldnt accomplish anything. I must be doing something wrong. Here is what I am doing:I put a FLVPlayback component in the first frame on the stage. Give the FLVPlayback component an instance name.Link the FLVPlayback component to a flv file on my server.Put the postcard in the second frame on the stage
View 12 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?
View 4 RepliesI have a as3 project, a magazine like project.I have like 10 pages, and some of those pages, has a FLVPlayback component to stream flv videoes.I have one problem, and it goes like this:
When i enter a frame, with a FLVPlayback component and start playing the video, everything works fine. But when i then switch to another page, the video file keeps playing in the background.
I cannot get my sample program using the FLVPlayback component (using as2) to play back FLVs that are still in the process of being recorded. I have no problem playing back FLVs that are complete. Is this a practical limitation?
View 4 Repliesi have an fla file with 5 keyframes. Each keyframe navigates forward to the following keyframe. On the fifth keyframe, a Loader loads an external swf. The external swf has an flv playback component with sound.
The fifth keyframe, other than having a button to click to load the swf, has a movie clip that navigates you back to the first keyframe. The loaded swf, once loaded, may be removed using removeThis function which has removeChild code as well as a flv.stop(); which makes the flv stop when the swf is removed. So u're back on keyframe 5, no sound ASo, all is well and the user can navigate back to the first keyframe (from keyframe 5), and from there continue on to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th keyframes again, problems start though, when you get to that 5th keyframe again: that keyframe has an FLVPlayback component playing an flv, which at that point becomes very sluggish as all the mc animations on that 5th frame. And worse, i realize, the flv in the external swf that was previously loaded, starts playing by itself, which i know, because i hear its sound track.
I tried putting a conditional statement to tell the _flv to stop on keyframes 1 and 5, but that causes errors, considering that the flv is an undefined property from the perspective of those keyframes.
I'm using the FLVPlayback class to play my FLV files.
If I'm trying to play a FLV file which is not existed yet then I am getting a "VideoError: 1000" with message of Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server.
I want to check for the FLV file existence using the file URL or path, before playing that FLV by FLVPlayback.
I am loading an external SWF file into my main timeline. The external SWF file contains an FLV video. At a certain point in my main timeline, the SWF file loads and plays the video. Is there a way to say...
If the VIDEO (FLV) is done playing, gotoAndPlay(X)?
I have an instance of an flvplayback component on a frame (not the first frame) on a timeline in a flash AS3 flash app file. I would like to stop the movie when i exit that frame, either via gotoAndStop() or whatever else.s there a listener for this? Or any solution that people know of?
View 1 RepliesI have a live streaming application using RTMP. Sometimes the playback works fine but sometimes it stops without any trace or errors in the log file, while still appearing as a connected client.
View 7 RepliesI'll start by saying that I'm in the process of learning actionscript. That said, I'm wanting to play two videos with actionscript. I went through a tutorial and using a pre-built flash player I used the following script
[Code]....
Which worked fine. That said, that was just a test. We are wanting to use the F4 Player. I opened up the player and looked at the actionscript (which is below). I had some trouble, so I posted on here and this was my response..

I'm doing the exercises included in the book "ActionScript 3.0 for Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Classroom in a Book", but I have run into a problem I cannot solve regarding the use of the source property of the FLVPlayback component.
[Code]...
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".
We have a major project on here at the moment to do with flash menu designs and videos etc. Basicly we have a menu where u click a button and it jumps to a frame. On that frame is the information etc, and a video for that particular subject. What im asking is this: We have put the video in using FLVPlayback and was wondering if it is possbile to have the FLV loop the video.
View 12 RepliesI 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.
View 7 RepliesI've been using the "Reusable Preloader Using MovieClipLoader" from the tutorial section of this site.The only difference is that i don't use'm for preloading jpg. I load external swf files containing video. Everything works fine so far. The only problem is that the preloaded video already starts playing while preloading (at about 30%), but without showing the video.This is the code i have so far:
Code:
bar._visible = false;
border._visible = false;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", "100");[code].....
I built a timeline based player with 2 menus and many videos that you can play.The buttons move the timeline to a frame label and the video plays. The back button has a stop function built in it so the video stops playing when its hit.It plays wonderfully locally but once on a server after a few clicks it boggs down and sometimes the audio from the last video remains playing even when prompted to stop. I was pointed to use the add and remove child functions to prevent this but being very new to Flash and 100% self taught i have zero idea on how to do this. The link to the player is[url]....Even if its a link to a tutorial or something.

this one is really doing my head in and any advice (even vague thoughts) would be really great.I have an FLVPlayback component on the stage and I am loading 8 FLVs in to 8 separate video players within it. I then play the first one and when it ends I randomly select which to play next.Everything seems to work fine except that each time I run it one or two of the clips play back with only audio only and no video. It is not the same clip each time but whichever one it is will consistently fail to playback untill I re publish when it chooses a differrent clip to fail on.I am publishing for FP8 from CS4 on a Mac and it fails when I test movie as well as in FF and Safari.
If anyone has any ideas on this at all please shout them out or I am heading for the forrest never to return

I try loading my video from a swf file using flvplayback component using the script below
[Code]....
but I notice that the swf file doesnt link the video instead i have to place my video the same directory with the swf file and change to flvPlayback.source = "Listening_to_Community_Voices.flv"; Does that mean the video file im linking must be on the same directory as the swf or did I wrote my code wrongly.?
I have a vido page. Once I get to that page I can't navigate anywhere else unless I click the video thumbnail button and as long as the video is playing the buttons are active. I can I change this so the I don't have to click a video thumbnail button to navigate out of that page.
Code:
one.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid1);
two.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK. vid2);
function vid1 (e:Event):void {
vidPlayer.source = "vid1.flv";

I am trying to put together a class for playing video using the Video object. So far, I have only been successful in getting the Video object to fully work when not using a class setup. In the documentation, I have read that to use the Video object you have to actually drag/create the video object onto the stage. So, in my next attempt, I created the video object onto the stage within a MovieClip but still trying to use a class/linkage setup with the Video inside inside of a MovieClip container. No luck there either. Here is the basic AS2 script that is linked to a MovieClip that contains the Video object ("video" instance) within it.
Code:
class VideoTest {
private var nc:NetConnection;
private var ns:NetStream;
[code].....
I am getting the following error with this script.
Code:
Line 14: There is no property with the name 'video'.
Line 15: There is no method with the name 'video'.
I have a flash program that loads an external flv dynamically. I first create an empty movie clip then I attach an instance of the FLVPlayback component using Moviclip.attachMovie();. Then i control the FLVPlayback component with AS2. I have a play and pause button, a scrubber, and a loading progress bar. None of these are components. When I publish and preview the file in Flash CS4, Adobe Flash Player 10, and all my internet browsers everything works fine, all the buttons, the multiple functions of the scrubber, and even the loading progress bar.
However when I uploaded all the files from my computer to my company's server and tested it from there, I recieved audio but no video. All of the various controls still worked for the audio but I couldn't see anything on the stage. If I waited for the loading progress bar to complete and then reloaded the external flv then I got video, but the purpose of this program is to stream the video and I cannot have the users waiting for a preloader.
If you want to look at my FLVPlayback code here it is:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("lesson_mc",-16381);
lesson_mc.attachMovie("FLVPlayback","lesson_video",0);
lesson_mc.lesson_video.contentPath = page.attributes.url;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.autoSize = true;

I imported multiple flvplayback videos on my file via the Video Wizard Import. After that I removed all videos except one. But it's still trying to load those old video and the skin of their player when I preload the file. I am sure there's no player on the stage except the one I need. And when I need to play the file, it's working well, the only problem is the extra loading for 6 skins that I don't use anymore and the time to look for 6 videos that are not there. So here're my questions;
1-When you import a video via Wizard, it there a script hidden somewhere that can be found? 2-When you import a flv to the stage, there's a loading bar saying getting metadata. Is there a place to edit or erase this metadata ?
3-Any other ideas of where I could look to find this hidden data or trace or ghost that needs to be remove from the file ?
