Been a while since I have used flash, but I finally have a chance to get my hands dirty again. I'm putting together a video player and all it's all working fine so far.
I was wondering how you can add similar functionality to the player like YouTube, where you can skip to any part of the video before the entire flv has downloaded?
Does anyone know if it's possible to get your FLV to seek to a point beyond what's already been loaded into the buffer... just like how youTube does it?I want it to seek to the new point, drop all buffered data that it had before and then just start buffering from the new point.I'm NOT (and can't) use a media streaming server - is this possible without it? After a bit of research it's not looking good :sIf you can't do it then I'm thinking I'll have to preload the whole FLV before the user even sees anything!
View 5 RepliesI mean youtube or any other streaming video site, but I've seen it on Youtube. There are times that the loaded bar shows that more than enough video stream has been loaded so the player could play it but it suddenly pauses and shows the loading icon?
View 2 RepliesI am deploying a jwplayer (url...) to a website and I am not 100% satisfied with the way the player behaves when you skip to a new position, you press the timeline at one spot, but it skips to a different location. (the elapsed time indicator)
It seems this is a problem with flash video in general? Or can this be solved by using for instance streaming video instead of progressive HTTP playback?
I'm using senocular's tutorial for loading external swf's with a preloader.It seems that the preloader always shows up for a brief second, even after the content has been loaded.Is there a way to bypass the preloader if the content has already been loaded?
View 1 RepliesI am creating a custom video class and was wondering is anyone knows how to turn cue points embedded in an flv into a time in an array.
I have tried the following but, although it doesn't give me any errors, it simply rewinds 1 second rather than skipping back to the correct cuePoint. I can't figure out why? :
Code:
public var _durationArray:Array = new Array();
public function makeArray(info:Object):void {
for (var i:Number = 0; i < info.cuePoints.length; i++) {
[Code].....
This previous code is amongst other code, which makes does things. Then in a new class I call it inside a function (which triggers fine):
Code:
_vidStream.seek(_durationArray[0].time);

View 3 Repliesby following a tutorial on [URL], I was able to display a youtube video in flash, but the problem is that the video doesn't have a control menu. Just wondering if there is a way to make one, either it is customized or some default menu provided by youtube or flash.
View 0 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).
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.)
View 2 RepliesI was making a player which calls videos from youtube and displays it in my flash playback component. The script loads the videos fine but when i want the flash to load the same video ID from an external XML data source, it loads the youtube player API but not the video. Here is the code
Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");
Security.allowDomain("*");
var my_player:Object;
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("[URL]"));
[Code] .....
This script loads the video from youtube.com with an specific ID which i have defined at
my_player.cueVideoById("53OyPYa7SEI",0)
Later I defined and XML file called "videos.xml" where I passed the youtube link and tried to call the video from that xml file in flash. But the problem comes there. Here is the xml code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<videos>
<VIDEO url="[URL]" id=1/>
<VIDEO url="[URL]" id=2/>
</videos>
How to call the video from an XML file?
