ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Preview/poster Image For Flvplayback Component?
Mar 5, 2009
I've been customizing the flvplayback component and have run into a problem. So far I have successfully created a custom skin for the flvplayback component, with a play overlay button,which loads the FLV dynamically from flashvars.I am now trying to load in a static image which appears until the video is played.I've been looking around the internet and in the Adobe forums, but haven't found what I'm looking for.I thought perhaps the Preview min the AS3 flvplayback component would help, but this won't work apparently.
I was thinking myPlayer.source = "image.jpg"; but then how can I change what the source is once someone clicks on the video? I also found fl.video.VideoEvent, but I'm not sure how I can use this to set the image as the source, until someone presses the play button, or until the video is playing (note that I am using an overlay play button which shows up whenever the movie is paused, so once the video starts playing, I would not want the static preview image to come up again...just until someone clicks the any play
button).
I cannot find an ActionScript 3 code example anywhere on how to load a PNG file as a flvplayback preview image and add it in at runtime." Assigning the preview property with the string of the PNG file refrence like 'video.preview = "previewimg.png"' does nothing. who to assign in ActionScript 3 a PNG file as preview file.
i am trying to get a preview image to appear when using the flvplayback component. it does not show up within the flash player or when i test on a server. i was able to use the component inspector to find the image i wanted and export and save it. i saved the png file in the same directory where my flv is located. here is my AS:
Code: Select allimport fl.video.FLVPlayback; var flv_video_mc:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback(); flv_video_mc.source = "flv/video.flv"; flv_video_mc.preview = "flv/video_preview.png";
LIke youtube, they have a preview image of the flash video.How do i get flash using actionscript to dynamically generate a image realtime? how do i convert any file to an flv through the internet? dont worry, i'm not trying to beat youtube,i'm doing this for a music studio website. I heard of this ffmpeg.exe....how to use this? Do I put this on my webserver? I use the paid yahoo webhosting.
I have FLV video component waiting for the user to push play. However, I want a thumbnails that I can stick in there because it is just black. How does this work with the FLV playback component? I can't find anything about this.
I have found something good here. [URL]..The mouseover effect on the list item is good. Any ideas to make this look.. I can infer that this is happening on mouseover of the Image Component. I think this is similar to google image search preview of images. If anyone have come across a component similar to this kindly share it to me and to all.
I just spent 2 hours scouring the web for the answer. All I'm seeing is a whole lot of "how do you do it" and a lot of "do a google search for it'. I found a tutorial for CS4 that looked promising yet when I tried it in CS5 the damned Preview attribute (or whatever) just sits there looking at me. You're supposed to be able to click on it and choose a frame. I click and double click and nothing happens.
I've searched high and low and haven't been able to figure out a way to set a preview image for video I'm loading in using the mediaPlayback component. Using Flash CS4, AS2.
I am using a FLVPlayback to play a video on my project. Path to the video file is taken from xml file and loaded to FLVPlayback by action script, everything work properly in swf file.But when i publish this file and play as html, the movie never start. What can be wrong?
I was wondering if there was a way to get the sound from a FLVPlayback component and manipulate it with using a custom volume slider? Within my Actionscript I currently have this code which enables me to control the volume of a MP3:
import fl.events.SliderEvent; var mysong = new music(); var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel(); var myTransform = new SoundTransform(); myChannel = mysong.play(0,10);
[Code]...
But Instead of using the MP3 for sound, is there a way to use an FLV's sound instead?
There seems to be very little information on developing a custom component with live preview.So far i've created a swf whose application class extends UIComponent.I've also created a custom component.Then I've added the Live Preview field in the custom component's Component Definition.What I would like to do now is reposition elements within the preview swf when the user resizes the component.
To do this i need to know two things - 1 what event to listen for when the user resizes the component, and 2 the current dimensions of the resized component.
1. My only success was that ComponentEvent.SHOW seems to dispatch when the user resizes the component. (i had no luck with any of the RESIZE events - Event.RESIZE etc)
2. However the width/height properties don't seem to change on resize, they stay at the original dimensions of the component.
I've created a class in AS3 which I've linked to a component in Flash CS5 and exported as a SWC. That SWC is then loaded into my main flash file and used inside some movieclips. The issue is that I want some code in the class to be used when using the component in Flash CS5 (for previewing purposes) and some code to only be used when running the main swf. Is there any way to detect when the class is being used in Flash CS5 vs being used when running the swf?
I'm having a problem with component live previews. If I just create a movie clip and set the live preview, all instances of the clip i put on stage update separatly from each other (their live preview that is). As soon as I change the clip to a component (export .swc or compiled clip) all the instances update together. eg if i set the component parameter 'title' - all titles of the all the instances on the stage will change. This didn't happen when it was just a movieclip - all instances changed separatly as i set them.
I've created a swf for a component live preview. The live preview appears to work ok when creating a new component, and setting the live preview in the component definition panel.
When I update an existing component definition (in a separate component library FLA) the live preview does not work. The strange thing is if I copy the entire (component FLA) library and paste it into a new FLA it works fine (although in doing so I receive a whole bunch of errors in the output window saying - Plugin tool script error in method ik_isIKContainer).
I know nothing about flash but this is what I am doind with CS5 Adobe Flash Professional:1. Import video. I type in the server location of my .mp4 file.Now when I save it and embed on a webpage it loads and works perfect, however it is not looping. So my question is in adobe flash professional what do I need to exactly?
Im using the FLVplayback component for a project im doing. I want to add the time elapsed and time left on the controls. I dont really want to create my own controls, as im happy with the flv playback component. The FLVs playing in the component are external and are loaded into it via as3
My searches have led me into some overcomplicated solutions. I'm using Flash to create a simple .swf that contains a movie with subtitles. I'm sure there are better ways but this is the easiest and I have been too long gone from developing in Flash and uBer rusty.
I used the movie importer, added captions exported my movie. All works great. The movie is set to NOT auto-play though and fades in from black so when the user first sees it they just see the skin and a black box. What I would like to do is have a preview image appear instead of the black first frame until the user plays the movie.
I have been hunting for quite some time now and I can not find anyone that knows how to create a preview image for an FLV. I.E. youtube, they show you a part of the clip you are about to watch and not the first frame.
I have tried numerous things but when I insert the FLVplayback Component into flash that is linked to an external video source the fullscreen function will not work but the video plays as needed.
I am working on AS3 project using Flash CS3. I have to display some videos using FLVPlayBack component. I am using the same component instance to display videos but when a new video is loaded the max duration property does not updates and hence the onComplete event is never fired. I somehow wanted to refresh the component when a new video is to be played.
I imported the flvplayback component on-stage in one frame and gave the instance a name of hv.If a button takes the movie to another frame, how do I pause the flv at that point
What are steps to do unload a flv file after clearing necessary memory used for its loading and also to remove the FLVPlayback component.his is the code i have used for creating FLVPlayback component and setting its source.
public var m_flvPlayer:FLVPlayback; m_flvPlayer= new FLVPlayback(); m_flvPlayer.autoPlay = false;
Publish to Flash 8 and using the FLVPlayback component as part of a larger elearning course.We have a legacy pause button that works by recursively looking through every item on stage and if the item is a movieclip following its children and so on. Something like this (there is more to the whole thing, but this is where the problem is):
findCurrent = function (obj){ // RECURSIVE SEARCH FOR MOVIECLIPS for (var i in obj) { if (typeof (obj[i]) == "movieclip" && obj[i] != obj) { if (obj[i]._name == "pauser"{ continue; } var m = obj[i]; m.frameWas = m._currentFrame; isCurrent.push(m); findCurrent(m); } }};
The issue is that when using the FLVPlayback component the 256 recursions limit is reached. I'm guessing that the video part contains a reference to playback controls skin and the playback controls skin contains a reference to the video part and the recursion just goes round and round till it hits the limit and then all actionscript is disabled for the rest of the file.
I thought of adding a counter, and that is probabaly a good idea, but I was wondering if there is anyway to identify that I've hit a video player and stop following it?
Obviously the topeof(myVideoPlayer) is coming back as "movieclip" or I wouldn't be getting this problem. I don't think there is a getQualifiedName for AS2, right? I looked at the properties and couldn't find one that said, "clearlyVideoPlayer."
I'm using the FLVPlayback component to play a movie. In the parameters, I'm setting volume to "8" where the default is "1".This works great and gives me the right volume setting, but if the user touches the volume slider (which I'd like to keep), the new maximum volume is only one.
I have an array of videos coming from an XML doc. I am getting the name of my video in the trace statement okay, but am not sure how to go about loading the FLV video into the player.I have an FLVPlayback component on the interface named "video". The video I'm going to load will be ("videos/" + videoArray[0]))
I try to modify ncmanager file. (I want add parameter when connect method is called). I've edited this file but nothing happens in my application. After two hours of headacke, I delete NCManager (I've made a copy on my USB key).I try to place a FLVPlayback on my scene : no problem ! I can place it, but it does'nt work as I want.So I discover that even I try to change NCManager, this file isn't read.I need help to understand what I must do when I modify these file. Should I have to put it somewhere ? must I compile them and how ?
