I have a video that is external, and is playing through the FLV Playback component.
I need to set Cue points in FLV video to trigger other MovieClips at certain times during FLV playback. I have read about them, but am unsure how to use them using Adobe Media Encoder. I am pretty sure I know how to set them in there, (unless there is a better way) but then how do you trigger the event?
I know that Flash generally has some very good video support.I am wondering if anyone knows and/or has experience with using Flash video with these types of modificatiions:
- having programic control over the video playback speed. if so, how? is there a simple FPS variable?
- also, would if be possible to slow down the video while maintaining a consistent pitch (tone) of the audio playback? ie.,if we were playing a video of a person playing guitar, we could slow it down to better see the guitar player using their skills,yet hear the song also slower but without modifying the pitch of the notes.
- also is it possible to set loop playback points dynamically? ie, to create a custom interface where the user could set loop points on an entire video that would continue to loop on that portion of the video only.

I would like to load a video into a video at certain cue points along the main video. Does anyone know how to do that?
View 20 RepliesI am wanting to play a number of movie clips and flash produced video clips. On the main timeline I have a frame for each clip I want to play. In that frame is a flash movie that contains the video that I have embedded onto the timeline for the movie. The filesize for this project is massive and I am struggling to work on the file. I want to be able to play the video files with the playback component in each of the frames where the video was.

I am using Flash Professional 8 and Dreamweaver 8 to maintain a website. I have just started using flash to show video highlights from high school football games which I record. Using iMovie I export the video as quicktime file and then import to flash to convert to a flash video file to post on the web site. The video coming out of iMovie has very good contrast and the quicktime movie has the same good contrast. When looking at the file in Flash the contrast changes dramatically. I becomes washed out. I am using Max OX 10.6 operating system.
View 2 RepliesI 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 have loaded an external video with playback component in Flash CS4.
Now the question is do I need to add streaming script or not?
1) I want a 60 seconds video to start playing after 40 seconds have been downloaded - to do that I set the NetStream.bufferTime to 40 seconds and retrieve "NetStream.Buffer.Full" event causing the video to really start playing. This step is OK.
2) However, the "NetStream.Buffer.Full" causes data to stop downloading. So the remainder of the video begins to download no sooner than after the 40 seconds have been played. This step is my issue. Can anyone tell me how to avoid this unintended effect? (i.e. playing a video and downloading data at the same time?)
I have a video that is playing in an FLVplayback Component, inside of a MovieClip. I have a cue point in the video about half way through, that triggers a seperate MovieClip (on the Parent timeline). This worked perfectly until I removed the Parent MovieClip, and made it an External SWF. Now the cue point triggers this in the Output window:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label head_fade not found in scene head_fade.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at M_fla::head_intro_7/fl_CuePointHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()

Do i have to do anything different now that this is in an external file.
I'm currenlty working on a Flash project where I need to navigate to certain points in an FLV video. I've worked a little with FLV before, and I've worked with cuepoints to trigger other actions/events in Flash, but what I'm looking to do here is when certain events happen in Flash (could be as simple as someone clicking on a button) I need the video to jump to a certain point.
My first thought was to set actionscript cuepoints then have the events in Flash make the video go to those cuepoints, but I can't seem to find any information how to do that. All the information on cuepoints I've been able to dig up talk about using the cuepoints in the video to trigger other actions, not vice-versa.
I've imported a Quicktime video clip into my scene. I want to slide this video clip in from off screen and have it stop at center stage using keyframes. When I use keyframes to move a video clip - the playback of the clip resets to it's first frame at every keyframe. Is it possible to move a rolling video clip using keyframes without altering the playback of the clip?
View 2 RepliesI have a few questions about cue points that I can't answer with my Google skills. Firstly, I am looking into using navigation cue points for playback of an FLV in my Flash project. But the seektocuepoint functions don't seem to play to the cue point, they just skip ahead. I want to actually play through to the actual cue point in the video. Is there a way to do this?
Secondly, I noticed that you can't play FLVs in reverse.
And lastly, is there a way to implement easing when playing and stopping FLVs? I know this sounds odd, but it would sort of be like dropping the playback rate to half just before stopping. Is this possible?
All i want to do is make a video streaming in a video object to stop on a cue point, and play from abother when a button is pushed. It's relatively simple, right? Wrong. Over a hundred $s in how-to books and several hours wasted searching online later and I have nothing. I have checked and re-checked the cuepoints are correct (i made them in flash video encoder CS3) and tried just about everything as far as AS is concerned. Here is my latest attempt: (obmintro is the player instance name, i have the rtmp info in source under player parameters and it plays fine)
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;obmintro.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cp_listener);function cp_listener(eventObject:Object):void{if (eventObject.object.name == "site_end");{ obmintro.pause();
//i have also used stop, stop("obmintro"); and i don't even know what else.}}
I was just wondering whether or not actionscript cuepoints created via the default cuepointManager on a FMS stream be seen by other clients viewing the same video? For example if I were to do this: (where vidVideo is an instance of VideoDisplay in flex 3) vidVideo.cuePointManager.removeAllCuePoints(); var cuePointArr:Array = new Array(); cuePointArr.push({name:"stopClip", cuePointTime, type:"actionscript"}); vidVideo.cuePoints = cuePointArr; Will other clients viewing the same video be affected by these cue points? or are Actionscript cue points maintained only on that stream?
View 1 RepliesIs there any way to read cue points from a flv which i load intro a netstream object? I dont want to use a component.
View 1 RepliesI have built a very simple flash player using the video component and I used cue points in the flv, then I used simple buttons and find cue points code snippets to make my buttons go to a certain part of the movie. All that works very well. Now what I need to do is when a certain que point portion is playing have the button stay in a overstate and once that portion of the video is done or another button is clicked the first button return to upstate and the new portion or the new button have the overstate.
Code below
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint);
function fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint(event:MouseEvent):void {
var cuePointInstance:Object = vid.findCuePoint("ch1");
vid.seek(cuePointInstance.time);

I have a few videos that I have in my Flash file, that I would like to have them trigger the playhead on my main timeline move to a new frame upon completion of the video.
I have found this page, informing me that it is possible, but do not know what to do with this information.

I have a frame where I have added an flv playback component to play a flv file. Everything plays fine, but when I test the file and navagate away from the frame that the playback component is on, the video continues playing.
Is there any way to get the video to stop when the user navigates away from the frame? I'm sure this could be done if I add the video using AS 3.0 (that is what the navigation of the site is coded with).
I'm having trouble fixing a problem with an flv playback issue. A main swf loads a child swf which preloads a movie. If the movie is preloading and you close the child swf with _global.lightBox = false; global.nc.close(); unloadMovieNum(2); The global variable lightBox is set to false so when the video is fully loaded it sees that lightBox is false and does not try to play. The global variable nc is the movie's netConnection. The problem occurs when you click to close the movie and then try to load the movie again. What happens is it stays on the preloader going from 1 to 99 over and over again while playing the first small bit of the movie's sound.
View 1 RepliesThe application serves as a presentation interface and plays slide and video content using the FLV Playback Controller. The user interface has three preview windows along with a list of slide and video content that gives the user the ability to select which slide(s) and or video(s) appear in the preview window(s). The content is simultaneously shown full screen on three projectors via multiple monitor outputs (2 nVidia SLI gfx cards, 4 outputs, 1 preview monitor, 3 for projectors).Our issue is centered around the playback performance of one 20MB flv (1366x768) after having played several 2MB flv files (same resolutions and bit rates).
The odd thing is that the 20MB file can be played seamlessly 1x, then the small flvs can be played without issue; but if we try to play the 20MB flv again, it begins to stutter in the last half of playback.We are looking at getting an official opinion letting us know if video playback performance can be increased and is so a quote letting us know what costs are involved to do so. We can provide the source code and all related files.The hardware this Application is running on is a PC running XP SP3 with a XEON 5130, 2 Ghz processor, 2 GB DDR2 ram, a Seagate ST3160815AS 160 GB SATA Hard Drive and 2 NVIDIA 9800GTX Video cards
how to catch the end of FLV playback. I have an SWF which is loading a number of FLVs dynamically, based on user interaction with a main menu. I am NOT using the FLVPlayback Component. I wanted to create my own buttons and interface, so I am using the basic Video Symbol that is added directly from the library.
I have already read about using listeners to catch the complete property, but that seems specific to using the FLV Playback component. I have thought about using cue points, but I didn't create the FLVs, and I don't have access to them, to edit them. I have also tried comparing the duration of the current FLV to the time played, but that breaks when a new FLV is being loaded.
I'd like to use the VideoPlayer class instead of FLVPlayback because in theory it uses up less space as it does not have all the skins etc. However I've found that if I want to throw a VideoEvent to check when the video has finished playing, if I do not have a component of FLVPlayback in my fla. file library I get a compilation error saying it can not find the "VideoEvent" class. That would mean that by using VideoPlayer I cant make my swf smaller and I lose functionality. I need to keep my size as small as possible.
View 2 RepliesI import the video manually from the File Tab. I change the stage size to match video (I want it full screen because I have "liquid layout" AS3 code in order to match browser window) I center the video on the stage.I make the video an Object (MovieClip)
And that's it.
The video play well, matching the full brower window and resizing accordingly.
My questions are :
1 - I am making the video a movie clip but is it necessary. I have tried without and it still works!! The only thing I find weird is that the "publishing" doesnt work when the video is not made a MovieClip. (I struggle to center the SWF in the HTML page)
2 - I don't know about the Netstream class. My server is a normal FTP (with PHP MYSQL) but not a streaming server. Would it be appropriate (better) to call the video through AS3 using the Netstream class ? (actually I am not sure of what the Netstream class is for)
3 - I have tried to loop the video using the classic AS3 code (that can be found anywhere). What is funny is that the code works when the movie is not converted to an object. But when it is, the looping doesnt work at all. Do you see a reason why ? (Maybe because the video is imported manually and not an instance created from the Video MovieClip Object ??)
I am using the FLVPlayback component to play a flash video. Currently, the input video I am using is a H.264 encoded .mp4 file. My question is regarding the type of video input which the component supports. In the sense, I understand the kind of videos which the playback component supports(h.264, sorenson spark encoded videos and the like). I specifically wanted to know whether there is a provision to play a video which has chapters and is there any skin to support such a feature?
Background Info: I am using Flash Professional CS 5 and the language is AS3. I am using flash on an embedded platform.
I have made my site and now the protocols of Flash wont allow the internet to playback the video, I dont know if you understand me but this is the message I am getting every time I try to open my finished SWF Project."The following local aplication on your computer is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location: my site IP" I looked for the location to allow the settings yet I cant find it.
View 2 RepliesI have a video embedded in Flash as an FLV. I'm able to get the video to play through the way I want, but when the video plays through and ends, I want to have two options/"buttons" display that allow the user to either replay the video a la youtube, or link to another web page.
I know it must a very basic question but I can't seem to find any answers. I've included a screen capture of the end of the video.
I'm trying to develope a simple video gallery app. It just has a few thumbnails that when clicked, play the select movie in my show movie area.It looks great when I export the .swf and see it on my laptop, but when I install it on my Android phone the movie takes over the whole screen.I am streaming the video via my server. The video dimensions are 800 x 600 on my server, but i only want then 500 x 333 on my app to make room for the thumbs. have set the flvplayback componant to 500 x 333 but everytime I install it onto my android the video just takes up the whole screen.

View 2 Repliesi've got a large video (48MB) that after 7% is loaded, it starts playback. on a pc it takes 10 seconds before it will start to play and it plays all the way thru with no problem. on a mac it takes 30 seconds before it will start to play and sometimes playback is choppy. why does this happen? what are the differences with playback of video on a mc and pc? is there some way i can get around this?
