ActionScript 3.0 :: Progress Of URLRequest - Preloading Video Into Cache?
Jan 13, 2011
I am having an issue with tracking the progress of a URLRequest for a FLV file. My code is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
var backgroundVideoSourceRequest1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("video/loops/Loop1-1080.flv");
var backgroundVideoSourceLoader1:URLLoader = new URLLoader(backgroundVideoSourceRequest1);
backgroundVideoSourceLoader1.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, changeVid1Status);
backgroundVideoSourceLoader1.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, video1status);

I'm having this strange problem with the progress bar in the gallery section of my site. I made the site on flash.Go to the English section and click any image. you'll see the progress bar not working but wait a bit untill the gallery loads. There's no close button but if move your mouse pointer to the up right corner it's there, click it. Now click on the same image and you'll notice that now the progress bar and close button works fine.url.. It's weird because when i publish the site and test it on my computer it works fine. But when i upload the files to the server this happens. The preloader only works when it's in the computer cache.

The tutorial used dynamic text to count the bytes loaded, displaying this in a percentage number (1% - 100%). I want to add a progress bar to the preloader animation. The bar shows up but does not expand as the bytes are loaded.
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclL:Object = new Object();
var mclL:Object = new Object();

I've tried endlessly to make sense of the solutions that other people have posted. But I cannot seem to get any code to work my my purposes, so I decided to post my own thread.I have a main parent Flash movie that I need to load 7 exteral SWFs into. Each of the SWFs is like its own scene in a longer movie. The external files are called:
mc1.swf
mc2.swf
mc3.swf
mc4.swf
mc5.swf
mc6.swf
mc7.swf
The final parent movie should play each external SWF movie sequentially so that it appears as one combined movie (so none of the loaded SWFs are actually playing at the same time - they should only play one at a time, one after another).I want to preload mc1.swf, mc2. swf and mc3.swf into the cache before the parent movie starts playing(and I would like to include a progress bar to indicate loading status). Once those SWFs are preloaded, I would like them to start playing sequentially while the rest of the SWFs load in the background.
Basically,I have a long Flash animation that I decided to split up into several individual movies.I've using the parent movie to seamlessly string together my individual movies to give the appearance of cohesion.I have determined that I should use the MovieClipLoader Class and loadClip() to accomplish what I am trying to do.However, I have a very limited knowledge of actionscripting, so this has been a major challenge for me.
I am optimizing the parent SWF for the web, and it's important that the video plays seamlessly, so I cannot put individual preloaders onto each external SWF. They have to preload at the beginning so that when each individual SWF is called, it's already loaded and no preloader is required.

I am loading external text file in flash and i am trying to trace progress so i could use it to show user how far loading is completed.
And i have i problem as i only get my trace after my text is completly loaded and shown in flash. only than i see progress in my trace window. Do you have any idea why? I am using one frame on one layer i have text field that i need for my text and another layer with code
Code:
stop();
var textName:String = "test.txt";
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(textName);
[code]....
why do i only see my progress after i see text( so after it is complety loaded)?

My project Home Page contains several 'heavy' instances on stage. So as to entertain a visitor while all they are loading I start preloading transition. However despite all my efforts my custom preloader delays displaying preloading progress for a while: althoug preloader wheel rotates, progress value displays as 0% for several seconds - from 1-3 seconds in normal browsers up to 5-6 seconds in Safari (which I consider to be worst one for Flash). if someone could clarify me whether I should listen for ALL the children loading progress so as to fix this issue or just never mind (e.g. every button on stage consists of two VideoPlayers, one TLFTextField, one Timer, two Sprites and one attached sound; now I'm listening for two VideoPlayers loading progress only...)

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:
Code:
bar._visible = false;
border._visible = false;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", "100");[code].....

was going through the free trainings offered by them. The trainings were good but what surpried me that even though the videos are Flash based, they are not stored in the browser's cachewhich also uses Flash for videos, where the videos are stored temporarily in the browser's cache, this was not in this case. The following is the link for one of the video training which I played on my computer but I was unable to find any trace of it on my local hard-drive:I guess, if the videos are played, then there must be some temporary storage allocated in the hard drive. There are two questions I would like to ask:

I made a web which contains some video streaming from a flv file. The thing is that all the flv file is kept in the browser's cache, and that's a problem, because every time the video file is updated, the browser (Firefox, Opera...) keeps on loading it from the cache.
Is there any piece of AS (1.0) which prevents it from loading from the cache? Or (even better): is there any way to keep it from being kept in any browser's cache folder?
I used a slightly modified version of this code (skipCache.as), but it won't work:

I've been following a couple of tutorials on making a custom video player and they all use the onMetaData event of the NetStream class to get the duration of the video. I always get this error though ns.onMetaData = function(obj:Object){1119: Access of possibly undefined property onMetaData through a reference with static type flash.net:NetStream.Here's what I have, sorry about the commented stuff I've been trying different things:

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've made a video class that holds a video. I want to be able to create an instance of this class, give it a video to preload, check if its all preloaded, then start playing it.Currently the only way i can find to start it preloading is to call 'ns.play()', however this starts the video actually playing.Is it netstream that i should actually be using here?
PHP Code:
package{import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.net.NetConnection;import flash.net.NetStream; import flash.media.Video;import flash.events.*

Almost every flash player has an option to display how much of buffer (or % of total video) is downloaded to the client. At the moment I don't see it in any implementation of html5 video player.
The real problem I am trying to solve is to have a way of knowing % of downloaded asset (image/swf/video whatever). In flash its easy by using MovieClipLoader and bytesLoaded property.
Is there any way of doing it in HTML/HTML5/Javascript (without relying on Flash) ?

I found out that I could only get the metadata of the 1st video I clicked. How does metadata works? It could only load once before the video ends?
Here's some example what I'm doing
//will be adding new video when this function is called
public function set newVideo():void
{
videoProperties();
[Code].....
I tried to load all the metadata at once, but seems like it needs the video to be play only it will manage to get the metadata.

I'm trying to preload a movie so that it doesn't stutter when it plays. So i thought preload the whole flv and then let it automatically play. I followed Adobe's tutorial [URL] on 'Controlling web video with ActionScript 3 FLVPlayback programming' and added a progress bar all using components. But I just can't get it to work, the progress bar disappears when it loads and the movie starts playing before its preloaded. Here's the online version; [URL] and I've attached the .fla too.

I'm building a flv_video AS3 player. I'm using steaming-video.The player is working fine, but there is something that I want to improve. Currently when I push play button and if I drag&drop the scrubber of progress-bar somewhere in the area that is still not buffered, the player doesn't start to play from that position. So I want to do it.

I have an SWF movie (1375 frames) and created a progress bar (248px wide) with a slider that moves according to the movie progress. I'm doing that next way:Calculating the distance for the slider to be moved each frame (248 / 1375) On each ENTER_FRAME moving the slider for the calculated distance The problem is - the movie ends far before the slider reaches the end of the progress bar.
I'm thinking that the distance (Step 1) is is somehow ends floored by Flash and the actual distance it moves the slider is smaller than required. That's why the movie ends, but the timeline control just passed the 2/3 of its way. My question is - is there any solution for the problem? Or any other way to go, if it's a wrong one?
