ActionScript 3.0 :: Video Player - Adding Universal Tooltip?
Aug 23, 2010
I've got an application (video player) that has many different interactive pieces spread throughout a handful of different classes throughout the display tree hierarchy (all children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren/etc of the same View class). I'm trying to add a universal tooltip to use throughout [URL].
Basically, the primary problems I want to solve are:
-Ideally called from or channels through a single place (for ease of updating etc).Must show above all other display objects (for instance, a tooltip that shows for a player controls button shouldn't be obscured by a menu display object that might be above it).
-Add the object once in a container/holder that's added above all the other View objects.Dispatch a custom event for every ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT event that needs to show/hide the tool tip.In my main (logic) class, listen for the event, and then call the method in the view class that shows/hides the tooltip.

I have a video player that plays videos loaded via XML and selected using a combbox. I just got the play and pause buttons to work. What I'm attempting to do now is be able to hit next or previous buttons and select the next or pevious video from the XML file, and update the displayed/selected file in the combobox, my thought was to somehow set the previous/next buttons to directly manipulate the combobox, but nothing I've tried so far has worked.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.data.DataProvider;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

Flash newbie here, using CS5 on a Mac. I've created several Flash animation files, all about 25 seconds long. The animations are fairly simple, about 6 layers each, but all contain a lot of movement. I need to turn the animations into videos that can be played on computers that don't have any Adobe programs, i.e. Quicktime. This is where my issue comes in. The published .swf files work wonderfully, but when I export the files to Quicktime video (.mov) the motion seems to leave a "trail" of images behind it. The static remnants go away after a few seconds but are replaced by new remnants of the current movement. I've played around with the quality and size of the videos, but nothing seems to have helped. I've tried used Xilisoft video converter to convert the .swf files into .avi or .mp4, but the files couldn't be uploaded. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what steps I could take to export my .fla or .swf files into high-quality video files?

With some great tutorials on the web, I have created an interactive cube in PV3d with a movieAssetMaterial for one the faces. I would like to add a fully functional video player to this face. I have code for an AS3 video player that I placed in the main fla on the movie clip that acts as the material. The video streams in fine, but the interface does not work. I'm wondering if this is a scope issue, a problem with adding events to a movie asset material, or some other problem. The video player code is attached. I have the video player code inside the movieAssetMaterial.

I've been constructing a flash video player from scratch using tutorials online, and I cannot figure out how to add a timecode (elapsed time/total time) or a way to have a pre-roll video. I'm using flash cs4 and AS3.

I have a video player that doesn't have "seek from unloaded time" functionality. I want to add it now. I simply load video like this;
stream.play("vidurl.flv");
(pseudo streaming)
Server side is ready. I can call videos like videourl.flv?start=xxx but cant play them in player cuz video comes without metadata
To sum up:
1. stream.play("vidurl.flv"); works, video plays
2. user clicks to seek bar. on unloaded part. I get the position and convert it to seconds
stream.play("vidurl.flv?start=10");
Doesn't work! No metadata what I should do after?

I've been trying for hours to add the elapsed time to a dynamic text field using a video player.
The Flash website has code similar to this:
Select all//Get playhead time
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.playheadUpdate = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace(ns.state + ": playhead time is: " + eventObject.playheadTime);
controls.elapsed = Math.round(eventObject.playheadTime);
};
ns.addEventListener("playheadUpdate", listenerObject);
But that was designed for an FLVPlayback component and therefore does not work.

I'm working on adding a small preview video player to a flash project I'm creating. I've successfully created an actionscript 3-based video player before, so my code is pretty much adapted from that. However, though the code executes successfully (seemingly), I can't see the video anywhere.
Code:
private function buildVidPreview(page:Array):void {
vidPreviewa.x=stage.mouseX;
Tweener.removeTweens(vidPreviewa);
Tweener.addTween(vidPreviewa, {alpha:1, time:1});
setupPreviewVid(page);

So I've been trying to add tooltip functionality, but I'm getting some strange behavior. e.g. duplicate clips appearing, clip not loading completely, clip not fading in correctly.
Goal: Tooltip box that quickly fades in after a short delay. Must resize to accomodate varying number of lines and line lenghts.
Structure: The tooltip movieclip holds three other clips in this layer order:
1) clip with a texbox
2) clip with the yellow box background
3) clip with a black box for the border (this box is 2 pixels larger than the box background, effectively leaving a 1 pixel border.)
These clips exist transparent on a timeline for about a half second, then start to fade in to full opacity by the last frame. So, the button code consists of assigning some text to a variable, then calling a function to make the tooltip visible via rollOver, and a hide function on rollOut. The idea is:
RollOver
1) use startDrag to place the clip by the mouse
2) Assign the text to the text box
3) Resize the background and border to match the size of the current text
4) Make the tooltip clip _visible = true
5) Play the tooltip clip, causing the delay and then fade in. (stop at last frame)
RollOut
1) make tooltip clip _visible = false
2) gotoAndStop(1); (reset clip)
Now for the problems:
1) Improper (loading?)
Upon opening the flash file, If I do anything that causes the tooltip move to stop playing, or if the showTooltip() function get called before that playback is done, the clip will no longer play. And it will be stuck at whatever frame it was on at the time of interrupt everytime the tooltip is shown thereafter.
2) Duplicate clips
If my main timeline has more than one frame, and extra instance of the tooltip appears from 'somewhere' - which is odd because there is only one tooltip movieclip and it's there from the begining.
3) Fade not working
The setting of the box size seems to be somehow interfering with the alpha of the parent clip. I've had to resort to using _visible on the tooltip timeline to control the delayed visibility of the box. (Removal of the box sizing causes the clip to fade properly.)
Relevant code:
Main timeline
startDrag("_root.tooltip", true); tooltip._visible = false;
Tooltip clip
onClipEvent(load) {
function showTooltip() {

I'm setting up a row of thumbnails that will show a tooltip TextFormat object on rollover.

However when the screen is resize and the thumbnails are repositioned. The tooltips are still referencing to the old position. I tried to 'refresh' the positions by adding the same EventListener again on resize. But didn't work

Would anyone know how to customize the "tooltip" / mouseover popup window in a Candlestick Component?By default, It just displays open / high / low / close data, but I need to add additional details such as date, time, and a few others...I'm guessing this is simple one, using item renderers maybe, but I cannot seem to get my head around it, or find any decent documentation online..

We're designing an app that will run on Windows, OSX, iOS, and Androids. It would be really nice to at least have most of the code in a single language rather than having to use Objective C for the Apple versions, C# or C++ for Windows, and Java for Android.We were looking at Flex (with all of its problems) as a way to avoid having to use a different language for each version, but Adobe has thrown in the towel and in the long run that's not going to do the job. Java used to promise to be universal, but it looks like Apple no longer supports it as a part of the distributed OS, and as far as I can tell Microsoft never supported it. We don't want our users to have to download and install something just so they can use our app.Is there a solution? Or are we stuck with building the app in multiple languages?

Is there a command I can use to kill the sound from the flvPlayback component and nothing else(I have a mp3 player there also I so I don't want to use the SoundMatrix class. btw the videos are all played on an instance of the flvPlayback component.

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.

With the Flash Player that comes with CS3 and on my PC XP Pro laptop.I want the player controls to appear at the _bottom_ of the video not on top of the video and not under (behind) the video.
- my video is 640 x 480
- so I modified the "properties" tab at the bottom of the screen to 640x480... (it was 550x400)
- but that just makes everything larger when I click File > Publish
- and then look at the video in Internet Explorer... the Player Controls are still _On Top_ of the video.
I guess I need to learn how to
- Make the stage bigger
- Position the Player controls below the actual video

I'm developing a video player for Pure IP multicast video. I'm using the Multicast Configurator provided with FMS 4 for generating the configuration. This is the manifest file generated:
<manifest xmlns="[URL]">
<id>Multicast_IP_Multicast</id>
<streamType>live</streamType>
<duration>0</duration>
[Code] .....
That's not working. And I have several doubts about it:
1.- It's not working, and I don't know where is the error. I'm not sure what I should add as parameter in GroupSpecifier constructor? GroupSpecs from manifest file?? "com.adobe.pureIPMulticastGroup"??
2.- I've been watching the multicast.as application in FMS4. The only way of publishing multicast streams in FMS4 is using the configurarion from Multicast Config Tool? Is it possible publishing a stream without the GroupsSpec generated by the Config Tool?
3.- If It's mandatory using the config tools for managinf the pure ip multicast. I would like to integrate the Multicast Config Tool in my platform. Is there any place where I could get the code of Multicast Config Tool? Any documentation about how to build it? This component have any flashvars or callbacks that could allow me integrate it in my platform?

We have developed flash video player which needs to playe large videos (at least 500 MB videos).We have some issues in the player right now.I am playing a 100 MB + video, it start playing and say it is buffering upto 50% of that video. Then I am closing that page. If I take that video again, it starts downloading from beginning. It never resume downloading from where it buffered previous time. But for small video files, this is looking ok. Is there any size limit a video player can buffer?Is there any better way to play large videos (more than 500 MB). Any other protocol or any other settings in flash player?
