ActionScript 3.0 :: Video Player Slowing Html Page Load
Mar 29, 2009
I have a video player that pulls an XML file of FLVs to play. It loads the first one in the list as progressive. For some reason ever since I placed it on the html page, the page loads very slow in IE. It almost seems like it waits for the first FLV to load before showing the rest of the page. Is there a way I can let the html page load everything and then load the code for the swf video player?
OR
Most sites I see that have video don't load the video until you push play. I am assuming this is because it is streaming and not progressive. Is there a way to have progressive downloads NOT download until someone hits the play button? Maybe that would solve my whole problem.
Im working on a website for school, and im doing it through flash. The server ive been given is being taken up by thousands of pages, so its slow. Instead of loading each page through HTML, ive decided i could do a seperate frame for each page. However, to reach the menu at the bottom, you have to scroll down. Is there any way to make it so that when you click a button to load a different page for the flash player to scroll up all the way to the top of the page itself?
I have a an unobtrusive flash video looping in the background of a website, it is not essential to navigation - it is purely cosmetic.The flash video loops every 30 seconds.As this video is on all pages, it jumps back to the start when a new page is loaded.Is there an actionscript / javascript way to get it to remember the position it got to on the old page so it can start there on the new page?I do know that this can be accomplished by loading the flash movie in a frame as well as by having the subsequent pages load the contents in AJAX but I was hoping not to go down this route.I have seen other people ask the question and allude to the solution but they only posted that they got it to work without saying how.
Is there any way to integrate an flash mp3 player into a html site where an reload wouldn't stop music playing or make it start from beginning. I wouldn't want to use ajax for the rest of the site cause it's not SEO friendly, and also pop-ups are not a good solution cause every browser nowdays blocks them.
I have been following lee's tutorial on the XML driven mp3 player for a site. However, I have now gone to embed the finished file on an html page, all files for the player work individually, so if I run the SWF by itself it works fine! However, when previewing on the html page the music doesn't play and the titles don't appear. The files are all stored in a 'player' folder in the root folder, however the SWF is stored there too, so I cant imagine that's the problem, I have even tried moving all the files from the player folder directly into the root folder where the index html file is and it still doesn't work.
I need to add a video player to play a video on a webpage. usually i use Flash player with the help of swfobject library. which works if flash player and javascript both are enabled.
I'm currently using XHTML 1.0 strict doctype. My question is can i just change my doctype to HTML 5 doctype and add Video player using HTML 5 video. for browser which do not support HTML5 i can a a javascript.
in this condition in supported browser Video will work without Flash player and javascript and in non-supported browser will work with js support.
I have a flashplayer in html page and I want it to stop the auto play function when the page loads and play whenever I click play, and I tried to play with the code and added this: <param name="Autostart" value="0" /> but it's not working. On the other hand, I set the autoplay function for the quicktime player to "false"and it worked.
I make my base swf in which I load external swf's. In my base swf I have mp3 player. Everything works fine until I need to load external Video gallery or mmedija.swf. In video gallery I have
I'm looking for a (simple) way to make the vidplayer to stop playing when moving from one page to another one (on the same timeline hey). As it is right now if you start to watch a video and don't push the stop button before going to another page it keeps playing - hence you still hear the sound playing in the background while you're actually looking at another page. And that's not good.
I need to load dynamiclly video in flex video player on the web,I'm using standard video player component,when page load a want to load a video in it.I'm not flex programmer
So this is not something I wanted to get into on new years eve!! However, I have this SWF file:
http:[url]....note the fireworks in the back and it plays perfectly fine.this is the published HTML file http:[url].....and that too plays perfectly fine.. however when I call the swf file from my index file
I have a flash video player in a div inside a webpage, I'm trying to create a button that will resize this div to fill the whole page and hide everything else behind it. Has anyone tried to do it?Problems:1. It causes the flash to reload and the video to restart2. In some cases a flash banner from the webpage overlays my video player no matter what z-index I give it.
I have Dreamweaver CS5, and used the "Insert FLV" function to generate a flash video player. It creates a /Scripts directory with two files, swfobject_modified.js and expressInstall.swf, and it also creates two .swfs in the directory the .html file is located, FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf and an .swf named after the skin (e.g. Clear_Skin_1.swf).
When I have Dreamweaver generate the html code for all this with a relative path, it works. When I give Dreamweaver an absolute path, it doesn't. You can see an example at www.youngstreetdesign.com/staging/flvtest/test.html.
The top is the relative, the second the absolute. The third is something unrelated.Dreamweaver says "enter relative or absolute path here" in the entry where you give it the video's path, and the documentation says that absolute paths should work, so, I'm at a loss.
I'm using CS4 Professional with ActionScript 2.0.I'm working with a movie that contains 23 Tab keypress interactions, each of which uses this code (with each one navigating to a different frame number):
Actionscript Code: var kl = new Object();kl.onKeyDown = function(){ if(Key.isDown(Key.TAB)){ gotoAndPlay(20); }};Key.addListener(kl);
I have a flash movie that loads another movie into a place holder container upon opening. So, 2 swf files - one is the main movie and the other the one that loads into the main movie. Works just fine when testing in flash or clicking on the swf files outside of flash. But when I embedd the main movie into my html page - the main movie loads ok, but it doesn't load the child movie. I have both swf files in the directory so I am not getting why it works fine except when placing into html page.
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.
I have done some searching but have not been able to determine what this would even be refered to as. Is it controlled by Javascript or Actionscript, or is this just a the way flash player functions?
I've found only one flash player, that plays my Shoutcast stream directly to my site. I've designed it the way I like, put my shoutcast url in it and everything I wanted. The only one problem I couldn't decide is that I can't "tell" the player not to autostart with page load. I tried with "autoplay="false" when I embed the player in site, but nothing happens. I suppose that I need to put something in my actioscript.
function MD5(string) { function RotateLeft(lValue, iShiftBits) { return(lValue << iShiftBits | lValue >>> 32 - iShiftBits); } // end function function AddUnsigned(lX, lY) [Code] .....
does anyone know how to display an external side inside a movieclip? I'm looking to have a movieclip basically load an html page (but i dont want the external html to replace all the swf content, I just want it to replace the movieclip loading it) not sure if this is possible
I have a streaming MP3 player that i'm going to incorporate into my site. Below is the AS for the player. At the moment the player starts automatically when the page loads up. Can someone tell me what i'd need to change so the player doesn't start streaming on page load....?
