ActionScript 3.0 :: Prevent Video From Playing At Beginning Of Swf?
Apr 11, 2011
I have a small game that plays a short instruction video and then has the player select a button which then takes them to the next level. The game has 4 levels with video. The problem is that when the swf plays all the video plays at the same time. When you get to the level you can play the play button on the skin and the video will play again and the level functions appropriately. How can I get the videos to only play when the play button on the skin is clicked? [code]...
I'm trying to get a video I've placed on stage in an FLV component to Loop to the beginning once it's finished playing. However, once it plays through it stops and doesn't loop round, although the trace statement I'm calling in the loopVideo function is appearing in the output window? Here's my code...
I know extremely little about Flash, and have been sent a completed SWF file, which I have inserted into my webpage with the code below.The problem is that it starts playing automatically. Is there some way that I can add a parameter to the code below so that the video doesn't start automatically, or will the SWF file need to be re-created?
I'm having some problems on some systems (seems to affect mostly 64-bit systems) where videos streamed from Flash Media Server 3.5 doesn't start from the beginning. I'm using NetStream.Buffer.Full to detect when the video starts. Usually this works ok, but sometimes the video doesn't skips a couple of seconds from the beginning even though the value of NetStream.time property is 0 when this happens.
I have three buttons, which starts three separate videos...click on button starts video, that's ok, but then video is not over, if to click again,it's not starts video from beginning. I'm talking about one video. I must push on other button and then on that again to start it from beginning.
At the end of my SWF video (FLV + XML for closed captions), I want to go back to the beginning of the video, but not replay it...so that when users have finished watching it they have the title page to look at instead of a big black box.
i have build a small test app in Flash Pro 5.5 overlayed with the AIR 3 sdk.is has just 2 buttons to record and playback audio from the microphone. when i test this on my iPhone 3g - i record myself saying "1-2-3-4-5". but when i playback a half a second or so is missing from the beginning : "3-4-5-".
when i test this on the desktop all is fine is this a result of the iPhone 3g's cpu power or is it a bug or is it my code?
So I did the tutorial and it works fantastically. However I don't want it to auto start and obviously it does, I thought if I took out playSong(); it would cease the autoplay but that doesn't work, and I took out playSong();} and that made the whole thing stop working, so what I'm wondering is how do I keep the mp3 player from auto playing, and also the variables in the tutorial were url, artist & track. What would be the proper procedure to add a 4th variable ?
Code: Select all// Setup sound object var s:Sound = new Sound(); s.onSoundComplete = playSong; s.setVolume(75); // Array of songs var sa:Array = new Array(); // Currently playing song var cps:Number = -1; [Code] .....
I have a cube built in papervision. It has a video on each side. I want the videos to be stopped at the beginning when it appears. I thought I could just use pause on the stream. ncStream2.pause(); no luck. When I do that I just get a black box. There is no black at the beginning of the videos. I do not think the papervision part is really a big deal. It's probably just a straight forward AS3 and video problem.
I have a Button named "Bt1P" that when I click on it, the Sound "S1.mp3" begin to play.
[Code]...
My question is, what is the right code to tell this Button not to repeatedly play "S1.mp3" while it is already Playing!because when i click it for the 2nd and 3rd time, the file overlaped, and 3 same sounds play together at once.
I'm a newbie at Flash, so started playing with a pretty standard code sample: one layer contains a movie clip with a flying rectangle, another layer has a button to control it. All script code is in Main.as file. The rectangle was named square1 through the Property window. Here is the problem: the constructor for Main has a line: square1.stop(); to prevent clip from playing, but it doesn't help - it plays. I know the constructor fires, because it has trace("stuff") in it. The code does check that the stage has been created.
What strange is that square1.currentFrame always returns 1, and square1.totalFrames returns 1 as well. The layer has 24 frames on the timeline. I tried a tween with just 2 keyframes, then converted whole tween into frames - same result. I mean, the thing is flying before my eyes, how can it be 1 frame???
I even added a listener: square1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrameChange); The event fires all the time, i.e. the frames change, but currentFrame is still 1. Also, tried to name individual frames and use square1.gotoAndStop("begin") and stuff like that. I am really stuck with this stupid problem.
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 application that has multiple concurrent netstreams going on in the background that are basically preload videos behind the scenes. From time to time, I need to give preference to one of the streams over the other, so I want to pause the preloading of all but one stream.
The only way, theoretically, that I could think of to do it is to set the maxPauseBufferTime to a very low number (say 0.1) and then pause the video. All of the preloading netstreams are already paused, so I don't know what it takes to make this kick in. I thought maybe doing resume/pause back to back would trigger the max buffer to kick in, and have it stop preloading, but it doesn't seem to be working.
No matter what I've tried, it continues to load the video. I've also set bufferTimeMax to 0, but still no luck. Does anyone know a way to prevent a netstream from buffering further until I'm ready for it to start back up?
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 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:
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.
Problem is that I want to have small video players in this full screen Projector, but I DO NOT want the videos to display full screen. I want the videos to display at their preferred size. However, since the stage mode is full screen, the video automatically goes to full screen as well.How do I prevent this?
But the problem is that they start downloading the entire videos. I've read some topics and docs and I feel that there is a way to avoid it For example, I've tried this line: video.mx_internal::videoPlayer.bufferTime = 1;
I'm using JQuery to create a button that (when clicked), removes a flash video from the page. Unfortunately, I can't simply use hide(). I must remove() because hiding doesn't stop the video in ie8 and the sound continues to play. After the video is removed I would like it to reappear when a "show video" button is clicked. I tried to accomplish this with clone() and detach()... The video appears but does not play and has missing controls in IE only. Other browsers work fine.
The video is initially added to the page using the AC_FL_RunContent() function. The issue is that when I try to add the "removed" video back to the page by calling AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase'... The page refreshes and shows only the video. Everything else has disappeared. How can I prevent that from happening?
I have built an FLV video player and used Sorenson to compress a bunch of movies in hi, med, and lo quality. Everything works when I click to load these different video qualities but all the videos auto stretch to the MC width and height.
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"; } function vid2 (e:Event):void { [Code] .....
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'.
setPublishPassword and setPostingPassword ?I do not quite understand, do not use an example.I set him groupspecWithOutAuthorizations, but was illegally set to groupspecWithAuthorizations how to do.
I have noticed that mi screensaver doesn't start while I'm watching videos on YouTube.I'm using Windows 7.This is the test:Set Windows screensaver to 1 minute.Browse to YouTube and play a video longer than 1 minute; ideally much longer.Note that your screensaver doesn't come up after the specified time (1 minute).I've tested using Firefox, Chrome and IE8. My Flash Player version is 10.3. (Youtube is using flash to play the videos). The same happens whether I watch the video in full-screen or not.
In the cosmicpanda update for youtube, you can go from a video page to the video creators profile page while your video is still playing in flash. Does anyone how Youtube accomplishes this? I would like to know if it's possible to keep the flash state of a site constant while moving from page to page on a site.It doesn't seem as if the flash is reloading, so I don't think that they are just saving cookies for the current video time and starting the video at that point when they refresh.I would assume that they're using ajax, but the application of this feature is really clean. The URL gets correctly changed to the users' profile page's URL. The back button still works as it should. (I can press back and forward between video page and user profile page and the video continues going clean and never drops.)
1) I want a 60 seconds video to start playing after 40 seconds have been downloaded - to do that I set the NetStream.bufferTime to 40 seconds and retrieve "NetStream.Buffer.Full" event causing the video to really start playing. This step is OK.
2) However, the "NetStream.Buffer.Full" causes data to stop downloading. So the remainder of the video begins to download no sooner than after the 40 seconds have been played. This step is my issue. Can anyone tell me how to avoid this unintended effect? (i.e. playing a video and downloading data at the same time?)
not got my earlier problem sorted yet (about the title contuing to loop) but have another question now! ive managed to get an audio clip into my page complete with play and stop buttons. the audio is dynamically loaded
id like to put video in and have an flv video to use. id like to dynamically load it so keep the overall file size down and have navigation buttons for the user using actionscript 3 but not sure how to do this. looked around online and getting increasingly furstrated!
