I am loading swf's that have an flv embedded on the timeline. When the user selects from the menu I unload the swf and load another. This is working fine, but the audio from the first swf's video keeps playing. How can I kill this first videos audio track?
View 3 RepliesI have a flash application, some kind of a play-list that loads external SWF video player (I don't have code access to that external file), so users can watch the video or skip to another one. When user switches to another video new SWF file is being loaded.
The problem: If user didn't finish watching the video and skips to the next then I unload previous SWF file (unloadAndStop()) and load a new one. And because the previous SWF was playing it is not actually unloaded, it is still playing on the background (I hear two audio tracks: current and previous).
I have a large project built in as3. Part of its main functionality is to load and unload various as2 swfs. The problem is that the memory ins't free up once they are unloaded.
I have access to the as2 swfs code base and destroyed all objects, stopped and killed timers, listeners, removed from stage, destroyed all the MovieClip.protoypes that were created. They look to be clean as far as the AS2 debugger show no remnants of the object after the destroy function is run. In AS3 i've closed the local connection, cleaned all references/listeners to the AVM1Movie and ran Loader.unloadAndStop(). The trace out in flex says the swf was unloaded but looking at windows task manager the memory usage never drops to when it was before the as2 swf was loaded. Each as2 swf can take up to 80 megs each time it's run so memory gets eaten up fast and loading and unloading a few as2 files.
At this point if the AS2 swfs are unloaded the only thing that I can assume that could be left is MovieClip.prototype and/or _global, _root variables add during the AS2's run time. But i've gone through those and can't find anything else that might be sticking. Has anyone ever seen problems before with the AVM1 machine not freeing up its memory?
Main swf loads an external swf which has a linear voice-over. User can watch/listen the whole 5 minute piece and then main movie carries on OR User can click to go on without viewing/listening to the whole show. Using removeChild, I can kill the visuals, but the voice track still goes on. i added a SoundMixer.stopAll line, and it does kill the current VO clip, but the next one will play in a few seconds. In the external swf, i'm using timers to delay slide advancement while the voice over plays. Seems like I came across some info that says I cannot fully unload like this with timers in my external swf.
Does this sound like a plausible source of the problem? If so, what is the best way to kill/nullify the timers in the external swf?
When I unload an application say live for example. And a user loads fmle and goes to load the liveapplication it starts it automatically. How can I prevent this. I want to be able to prevent it from loadingautomatically. When a user reaches their bandwidth limit I want to make sure they can't just use the
View 2 Repliesim currently building a site with 3 buttons and each buttons loads an external swf for each section of the site on a empty movie clip, im having an issue with the video section that has an video thumb gallery loading flv videos,
every time i try to go somewhere else in the site, the video sound continues to play (loop) behind the scene.
this is the actionscript code im using for my buttons.

I have a flash video (.flv) that auto plays upon page entry... and the user also has the ability to view a second video (by clicking on link on webpage)... it opens a SOLIDBOX (similar to floatbox) window and plays the second video... which is great.
But unfortunately the AUDIO/Video from the initial video (behind solidbox POP UP) is still playing. A savvy user would realize this and stop the other video, but unfortunately, to make it user friendly for our customers, we need it to automatically stop the initial video.
How can this be accomplished? How can i stop the initial video when the link on the webpage is clicked (opening the pop up with second video playing)?
You can see this all in action here:[URL]
(notice the video upon entry starts playing... then click on the yellow starburst (DEMO GREETING linK) to open the second video)
I am making a small website and i am trying to stop the sound from a video playing when the user clicks any other button to navigation away from the video which is fine (SoundMixer.StopAll behind the code for each of the buttons) but then if they decide to go back to the video page there is no sound? I tried removing the event listener but i cant get it to work
View 3 RepliesI'm creating an eLearning interface to load other multimedia rich SWF contents. As from the title, I do unloadAndStop() the multimedia rich SWF and the SWF disappeared from the stage. However, video content from the unloaded SWF were still playing.
According to Adobe:
Code:
As a result, the following occurs for the child SWF file and the child SWF file's display list:
Sounds are stopped.
Stage event listeners are removed.
Event listeners for enterFrame, frameConstructed, exitFrame, activate and deactivate are removed.
Timers are stopped.
Camera and Microphone instances are detached
MovieClips are stopped.
The 2nd problem I face will be, after unLoadAndStop() my parent font type also change to "Times New Romans" although I have embedded the the font type to the flash. I have to reload the parent to get back the design font type.
I'm building a site that has an mp3 player that's available all the time.I'm adding a video page to the site.The videos use an FLVPlayback component.When I leave the video page I want the sound that was playing on that video to stop.I can't use SoundMixer.stopAll() because if I had the mp3 player playing before I went to a page I want it to keep playing.

View 1 RepliesI've been making the transition from AS2 to AS3 for the last week and am making progress. But I'm having a problem that hopefully someone can help me with. I'm using Flash CS5. I have a fairly simple Flash website I'm working on. I have sections on the timeline like Home, About, Photos, Media ... all set up using labels for each of those sections. Everything is working fine but when I go to my Media section where I have a video placed (using the flv component) I'm having a problem as follows:
The video auto plays fine when I go to the Media section but when I attempt to leave the section and go to another the sound of the video doesn't stop. It continues to play when I go to another section and if I go back to the section it starts again. The video is not there when I go to another section which is the part that's confusing me. In AS2 when I did this the video and the sound both stopped because you went to another section on the timeline. Why is the sound of the video not stopping in AS3?
I created a flash video player. Could any one show me how to seek unloaded time in flash video player?

View 3 RepliesI have a problem with my slideshow script. I have embedding a flash video file into my website with this slideshow called monoslideshow, and everything seems to work perfectly. Trouble is, when I am clicking on another menu button that should jump to another frame, it still keeps playing the video and sound while displaying the new menu data.So I will probably need some code that stops the video instantly, when another menu button is clicked. But how do I write it and where do I put it?
Here is my actionscript for the video file to show:
var loaderSlide:Loader = new Loader();
var monoslideshow:Object;
loaderSlide.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
addChild(loaderSlide);

It would be great to get a solution to this problem, otherwise my website will be kinda messy ;)
I have a website that plays video1 when it opens. When you navigate to next page the video stops. One of the buttons on the second page plays video2. The problem is that video 2 won't stop using the same command that made video1 stop.

I am using FLASH CS3.I have gone through many posts, seems to be an issue with many people.Still haven't come across a fix.Website made in FLASH. Flash movie loads and sound works great!I have a button with 'StopAllSounds' action script.[code]When I go back to main page... sound starts up again.Is there a way I can stop all sound regardless of where the visitor goes on the website?
View 2 RepliesI'm sure this is a common problem, I tried looking around on the forum for a problem like mine but was unable to find anything. I'm using Flash CS3, Actionscript 2.0, and am making a soundboard. I have two scenes, one that's the title screen, of which has a sound file loaded via the timeline, (I think) set to Event and Loop, and a button which takes you to the next scene and makes a short sound when it's pressed. My second scene has background music as well, also set to Event and Loop.
Problem is that when I press the button, the background music keeps playing into the next scene. I tried using putting stopAllSounds onto the button, but that makes the sound of the button stop as well, and I'd really like to keep it. I've been messing with this for days, and I can't figure it out.
i want to make a single button to play a sound, and if pressed again, stop the sound. and if pressed again, play the sound, and so on...
i know it has to be made with a boolean variable, true/false, but i just can't figure out how.
I am using a flash app. I can send and receive streaming data to FMS by using this app, like the chart I attached. [URL] This app uses RTMP to access to FMS.

View 6 RepliesI have an AS3 video player I've put together using fairly standard Netstream method and it plays my flv's fine. The problem is, the sound quality varies wildly depending on who is looking at it. When I test locally, the audio in the video is fine, but on a windows machine it goes horrifically loud to the point of distortion, also the client (outside the UK) has said it sounds fine to them, so It appears to be only happening here.
View 2 RepliesI need to produce a photo review show (basically, a photo slide show), which incorporates still photography, and numerous video clips. We will have music playing in the background (not on the timeline - in the actionscript). The full presentation will run automatically - no user interaction, and therefore, I need the background music to automatically fade out when the video starts, and then fade back in when the video ends.
1. Is Flash CS5 the correct software to do this in?
2. code to tell the sound to fade out when the video starts, and fade back in when the video ends?
I attached the code here. The problem is after importing the video in the first frame while navigating the video sound is heard which means the video is still playing. How can I stop it when moving to other section. Here is code

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.
