I have embedded a flv video onto the stage. I then have loaded in an image which is transparent enough to see the video through it. The problem is I cant now access the video player to control it. Is there anyway to bring the embedded video on the stage above the loaded in image so I can actually click play on the control bar and play the video?
View 3 RepliesI have a swf that contains two layers, one with embedded video, one with some other crap. Either through actionscript and/or a transparent button, I want the movie to repeat endlessly on rollover and stop on rollout. I understand the basics of how buttons and movieclips work, but I have not been able to convert the embedded video into a movieclip to make this easy.
View 2 RepliesI am using AS3 and have embedded a video into flash using player. I want to play pause the video.
So, I am using ns.pause(); to pause the video and its working. ns denotes the instance name.
Simultaneously, i am using ns.play(); to play the video. But its not working.
I'm new to Flash, and obviously AS3 (or AS in general) and am currently making a menu in which I have 2 video files.I want people to be able to play and pause (and stop) these videos.I currently have them playing and pausing using the FLVplayback method with no skins (have to make my own buttons). Though this is working I really need the video files to be embedded into the .swf/.fla as apposed to an external video.I have imported the videos into the library but they're not in use atm.
Is it possible to tell FLVplayback to use a embedded file from the library?If not is it possible to make a embedded video play/pause/stop in AS3 any other way? I couldn't seem to get it to which is why I went to FLVplayback method.
I am testing on a Xoom device, running OS 3.2. The project is built (in Eclipse) using the 3.1 library.
I have the latest version of flash installed, and embedded flash plays fine in my tablet's browser.
If I create an activity like this:
WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.browserView);
browser .getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
browser .getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
[Code]....
Then I hear the sound playing for the flash, but it shows up as a white box.
Similarly, any other page with embedded flash has the same problem. I've also tried making a string containing static HTML content, and loading that into the browser... but it has the same problem.
I've read every solution I could find online, from setting the view to invisible until the onPageFinish event is called, to extending the WebView class, and paining over it. I've tried reflection, to call hidden properties on the WebView's settings for enabling flash, etc. Nothing works.
was wondering if I could get some direction on something that I have been wondering about for a while. There have several flash video players that I have seen that only start to load/play the video when the object is visible on the screen.For instance, if I click a link to an html page with an auto playing flv on it, and then minimize the window. The video will only start to play/load once I maximize the window again. The other instance I have seen it is with the position of the page. So if an flv is placed onto a long html page, all the way at the bottom, it will only begin to load/play once I have scrolled to make it visible.

View 7 RepliesI'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]

View 2 RepliesI have an as3 class with an embedded swf. I need the embedded swf to dispatch an event and have the as3 class action on that event. This used to work fine when the embedded swf was embedded and had been loaded as an external swf, however now that it's embedded the listener never picks up on the dispatched event.
I've created a simplified example below, the 'onMovieComplete' function is never called.
/* I have an external swf file 'movie.swf' with a simple animation in it.
* When the animation hits a frame (frame 70 in this case) it fires a
* Event.COMPLETE (using:- "this.dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));" )
*/

why the event dispatched from the embedded swf is never picked up by the listener?
On my HTML page, I have <div> with an <iframe>, which references another page, that contains a Flash SWF object. If I set any of these:
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
opacity:0;
filter:alpha(opacity=0);
on the <div> that wraps the <iframe>, the SWF object sometimes remains in plain sight, while the <div>and <iframe> go out of view as expected.

This should work in the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox on a Mac and in the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer on a Windows 7 machine, and it should fail (no errors but the hiding behavior doesn't occur) in Safari on a Windows 7 machine.
It might be pertinent to note that one thing I've noticed about the SWF objects that have passed and failed are that the ones that have failed all revolve around video content whereas the ones that have passed don't. Granted I haven't tested more than a half-dozen objects, but that's quite a coincidence. :)
I have trouble in choosing between external video with playback component and embedded video . I have tried adding video to dynamic page and everything is perfect .This video I have imported using the option File ->import video -> external video with playback component. If I try to execute flv on another system , the video is not playing eventhough it is in library.
So, I have imported video using the option of embedded video and this worked fine on another systems as it embeds video. The video plays for only 2 min 54 sec. I have compressed the bit rate to how much ever I can in premier pro. It resulted in reducing the size of the file but still I see the video occupying more than 3500 frames in the timeline. I feel this is not optimal.
I need to play preview video first, before starts play any other video. I am using jw player
View 1 RepliesThe problem is I have an MC in the library the gets attached to the stage dynamically and when that happens, my FLV doesn't play. I thought perhapse it was a matter of the FLV being loaded under the other MC but I've tried "swapdepths" to move it to the top, and I've tried "removeMovieClip" to get rid of the other clip to show the FLV.
Nothing seems to work. All my trace statments are trigering so I know the function is working properly (except getting the video to play).
// Create a NetConnection object
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection
my_nc.connect(null);

I'm using Flash CS4. Whenever I make a button go to a frame that has a tween in it, it will not read it. When I take the tween out and not have the frame have any animation then it is fine.

I am doing an interactive display for school and it includes 2 games and 5 movies.I have it all set up the way I want it, but I have a HUGE problem, my movies will not play!! I am using 2 different codes, one for the games and one for the movies, they are below:
Games Code: loadMovie("filename.swf" , 1);
Movie Code: container.loadMovie("filename.swf");
The movie code has worked before, but for some reason it is not working now! If ya'll have a different code for uploading .swf games and movies ! These are all being uploaded and I am navigating them through by buttons and those seem to work great! Another thing, I have it set at 2 fps but some things get cut out because it goes too fast, but if I slow it down anymore the games won't work.
I have made a html file in which a swf is embedded with swf object. this swf contain dynamically loaded audio files. It works fine in offline but when it is uploaded it does not show the movie(swf is not playing) I see only empty space. i thought that it may take time to load, but even after waiting for long time the swf did not play and it shows blank white space. Why?..........following is the code[code].....
View 2 Repliesswf that is at 30fps. So by default, it plays at 30fps. Is there any way using code I can slow down this subswf to play at 12fps...and not automatically go to the default of the root swf's fps?
View 2 RepliesI have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player. She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help.
She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required. The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found." Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct.
I am unable to play flv from xml though the xml loads perfectly fine. When flv path is hardcoded the video plays fine but when from a node it seems to make the video disappear and it dosent play.I am having the same issue i got the xml loaded and even the url into the video source but it dosen't seems to play the video when reading from xml...

I am currently working with a contractor company that is hosting a flex based website. They are putting the swf files that I have developed into their flex site. The issue that I am having is that within my swf file I need to reference the stage. I do this by "MovieClip(parent).stage"... I do not use the keyword "root", I just reference my swf's root through however many "parent"s i need. It works fine when I publish on my own, outside of their flex site. When it is used in the flex site, they are getting an error that they cannot reference the stage/ stage is null. It is vital that I am able to reference the stage of my swf.
View 2 Repliestrying to set the stage with a color from the classic window and properties. However when I select a stage color it remains white, and will not change. I have tried everything I know how to do like uninstalling and re-nstalling, going through the endless files and forums.

This is just one of the bugs I've encountered in Flash. I'm sick of the amount of bugs Adobe simply ignore and get away with it.
I'm trying to resize my stage using this code but I can get it work correctly. (I'm using FLASH CS4)
ActionScript Code:
var Stage_height = flash.system.Capabilities.screenResolutionY;
var Stage_width = flash.system.Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
[SWF(width=Stage_width, height=Stage_height)]
When I launch it I get this ERROR Could not parse 'Stage_height' as a number for height. And the same for the width.
I tried to set them as Number variables but that didn't work either.
I have several objects created at frame 2 of my fla file, like:
Code:
stop();
var rotatorek:Rotator = new Rotator();
addChild(rotatorek);
var rpm:engine = new engine();
addChild(rpm);
etc...
After endGame is changed to true within one of my .as files, I got this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display:isplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at Rotator_fla::MainTimeline/ruszMaszyna()[Rotator_fla.MainTimeline::frame2:94]
Frame 94 is first removeChild(rotatorek).
Why I can't remove all those children? I need to go to frame 1 without any instanced objects and cleared listeners.
The stop button plays as expected. The play/pause button plays as expected. The issue is when you press pause which will cause the play button to appear, then press stop. the video automatically plays and it shouldn't. I have bolded the control button script for convenience.

the player uses a VideoDisplay and i set the source like videoDisplay.source = "sourceStringURL"
and the vid doesn't play until it's fully loaded
Why does my swf's skin referenced by a simple component FLA work locally but NOT live? There's no AS3 in the component FLA. It's just a one-layer component referenced to the the FLV. When I test locally, IN FLASH CS4 ONLY, and click on "Animalia - Verse From the Zoo" the FLV and skin load and the video (source FLV - "Sequence01.flv") plays. But the same thing live only loads the swf for the FLV file area but NO SKIN. Try it yourself, please:Has anyone had this problem and knows the solution? All files are in the SAME FOLDER on the web server. I've tried every URL and path combination I can think of on the website. I've tried referencing the whole URL.
Yet whatever path combination I try, either nothing happens, or I just get the FLV box but no skin. Which is what's happening now. Publish settings are set to Flash Player 10 for all files. And I've tried the component SWF WITH and WITHOUT the fl.video package (import fl.video.*. No difference. Why does the skin load and play locally but not live? It's all AS3. No AS2. And it does not seem to be a "publish settings" issue as far as I can see. The relevant code in my API is:
var AnimalFLVLoader:Loader = new Loader();
AnimalFLVLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fAnimaliaVOn);
Animalia2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fAnimaliaVOn);
