I'm trying to preload a swf.My swf seems to be playing before it hits the 100% mark. Usually around 33% I have no idea why....the loaded swf contains a video which is playing before it's even on the stage!
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var l:Loader = new Loader();

I have a site in progress, but am running into a problem with the transition that plays while external images/swfs are loaded. Before, I inserted the conditional statement, if(transLoad==0),multiple mouse clicks would result in endless children being added---Let me try to explain, I have a series of buttons which load external swfs upon Click events..ex
Code:
link1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickOne,false,0, true);
the function clickOne would call the transition function below:

I'm creating an image gallery and looking for a simple way to preload external jpegs (with % loaded) into an empty movie clip.I'm using thumbnails- there are no "next" or previous "buttons".[code]I've been googling/ searching all day.
View 1 RepliesMy first Flash project involves 2 animations each in it's own HTML page and it works fine and my client is happy - except, as noted below. The first SWF is short, the 2nd much longer.Therefore, the 'getURL' in the first SWF results in a 1-2 second pause, instead of an instant and smooth transition, between the 2 animations, the first time someone accesses them.

I am in the process of building a site for an Architect... Jamie Fobert Architects (projects) I am useing transitions between the projects and am loading details/text and images externally through flashvars, php and a mySQL database. Within my transitions I have a a preloader on the forst 2 frames the code is as follows (taken from a Voetsjoeba tutorial):

This works pretty well if the content is within the .swf, but when it is loaded externally it doesnt preload it at all. Does anyone know how I can adapt/improve this preloader? or somehow ensure that all the content being loaded externally is loaded before the transition plays?
very annoying bug.. I load a SWF and monitor the loading progress using
Code:
_swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSwfLoaded);
_swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onSwfProgress);

I'm porting in an .flv to Flash for the first time. I created the .flv from an .MP4 using Media Encoder CS5, and then opened a new Actionscript 3 .fla in Flash Professional CS5, clicked File > Import > Import Video. Then selected 'Load external video with playback component'. Everything seems to have imported fine, but when I publish the SWF and import it via Dreamweaver CS5 and preview the page, the video is there, but the controls are not. There's just a white box where the controls should be. Also, the video is out of sync with the audio, which I believe is a problem with Media Encoder, not Flash.
Here are some links:

I have a website [URL] when I go there if I click the video archives button then play a video then click on the home or photos button or one of the alternate background buttons on the left the video goes away as it should but not always the audio (especially when I click while the video is still buffering). Is there a command I can use to kill the sound from the flvPlayback component and nothing else(I have a mp3 player there also I so I don't want to use the SoundMatrix class. btw the videos are all played on an instance of the flvPlayback component.
View 7 RepliesIn my CS4 flash document I have created a media gallery. It's a very simple interface that has mouse overs on thumbnail pictures, and then the larger picture will fadeUP in the center of the document. (With use of framelabels in the timeline).
In the same document, I want the user to be able to click on a video thumbnail, and that video plays back in the center of the document. Several questions: If the user clicks on the thumbnail "onrelease," the time line goes to the player, is it possible to stream this video from a youtube clip into my media player on the screen? If not and I have the document in a fl4 format, is there a simple process to have this video open? (I currently do not have the document in fl4 format).
My dilemma is that is that I have an image that when you roll over it with the mouse the words 'click to play' appear. Now when I click I want the image to disappear and the movie behind it to start playing.
I've managed to put together some action script through looking at various tutorials and posts. but when I preview my site and click the image nothing seems to happen.
The code I'm using is as follows:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
function doPlayVid(e:MouseEvent):void {
tanmov.play();
this.alpha = 0;

In Flash MX 2004 Pro. I have embedded the video in which needs to load several external FLV files. These are the problem: In my main file I have a sound object (music) and then load the video when I reduce the volume of the music of the main file to 0 that the louder the sound from FLV videos. The problem is that when the music died down to 0 to mute the sound with FLV videos to 0.How to separate audio from FLV videos from sound of music and how to separately control the volume loaded FLV file?This is the code that I use:
my_nc = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect(null);
my_ns = new NetStream(my_nc);

What I'm trying to do is get the total bytes of all the files I want to load and display the percentage loaded of total bytes and bytes loaded of all the files. Its a slideshow so i want all the files loaded and then it will play. I've looked at bulk-loader but it wasn't what I needed. The image are loaded from an xml file. I think I would need to create an Array and then find out the total bytes but I don't know how to reference the loader in the progress.

how to sequentially play external SWFs loaded into the main timeline?
I have several SWF files with short videos embedded in them. I wish to load these external SWF files into my main timeline as follows:
User Presses Button -> Play Video Clip in External SWF#1 -> Once Video Clip in External SWF#1 has Finished -> Play Video Clip in External SWF#2.
I tried achieving this by adding: var endmovie:Boolean = true; to the end of each video clip inside the external SWFs (e.g. 1.swf) then cycling through an if statement in the main timeline to see when this condition was meet:
ActionScript In Main Timeline:
Code:
var mc_Loader = new MovieClipLoader();
mc_Loader.addListener(this);
[Code].....
How is the best way to go about achieving this? Am I on the right track? (By the way, using .FLV or one long external SWF file is not really an option due to long loading times...
What I'm trying to do is have a still image act as a button on top of a video, so that when it is pressed the image disappears and the video begins. I've placed the image and video on two seperate layers and typed the action script into the images layer.
I get no errors, however when I preview my site the moment I press the image everything on the site disappears yet I can hear the audio of the video playing.
The code I've used is as follows:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
function doPlayVid(e:MouseEvent):void {
tanmov.play();

I'm using a preload function with the Movie Clip Loader. Everything works like it should except the external swf's will play before they are fully loaded. At first I only had one frame in each swf, and they wouldn't show up until 100%. Then i added some animations, and now they play out at around 60% loaded.
I know I can fix it with stop() on the first frame and tell it to play after 100%, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or is it something common with MCL and i just wasn't aware of it.
I encoded an AVI w/ Media Encoder and dropped the FLV into a Flash playback component.In my compiled SWF, the video plays in hyperspeed (like it has a really fast framerate), but the audio plays normally.It seems like an encoding issue, but could it be something in Flash?I'm guessing there's some setting mismatch -- different bitrate, framerate, dimensions?[code]...
View 5 RepliesI would like to create a preload bar that fades out when the content is loaded. Here is the code I have so far, it works ok but the fade out is too long. I've tried tinkering with the code further, but it starts to fade out half way through.

loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();

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

Normally I do get by with a lot of R&D, but for some reason am stumped and really pressed for time!An interactive file (say main.swf) is already ready to go.I now need to make this play over a background (say bg.swf) which is a fairly heavy file.
What I'm trying to do it this:Open a new flash document (say "index.fla")- on the first frame, call "bg.swf" by using "loadMovie('bg.swf', 2)"[where 2 is the level number] and then calling "main.swf" by using "loadMovie('main.swf' 4)" [where 4 is the level number]
Now the problem I am facing is this:"bg.swf" is quite a heavy file so takes quite some time to load, whereas "main.swf" is much lighter and loads before "bg.swf" buffers fully.
What I want to achieve is this:Create a new swf file (say "index.swf"), making sure that "main.swf" does not load until "bg.swf" loads completely under it. Note: I cannot make any edits to "main.swf" (which is like a slideshow) file and it is rendered such that it starts the slideshow after 5 seconds.
[URL] Some of the clips play fine, others play for 2 seconds and then stop.
View 2 RepliesMy problem is this. I want to embed an swf on my site which plays an FLV video. I do not wish to use a skin but want to create a simple roll over or mouse over which would start the video from the beginning. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea how I would do this.
