Am a novice so not completely sure if i am doing things rite! I have a video in my time line onto which I would like to place a button/watermark reading "click here" with a click-through URL. This needs to be visible always whilst the video is playing. To do this i have created a button on the video, created a new actionscript layer and put the following code:
[Code]...
I want to take a static text field, convert it into a button, and use it as a button. I need it static, because I changed orientation, and I do not know how to do that otherwise. The problem is, even though I converted it to a Button symbol, it does not work when I test the movie. It works fine with "Enable simple buttons", but when I test it, the button is not there, no change in mouse cursor, no reaction at all.So this is what I did:
Made text. // static, not selectable, Orientation: vertical left to right, / //rotated; Two filters: Drop Shadow and Glow;
Converted text field to Button - Symbol (scrollBT)
Editing the Button,I put the same content (the static text field) in all four frames: No luck, not working. without the Hit frame filled (which I think doesn't really make a difference): No luck, not working.Tried again, converting the static text field in the button into a Graphic Symbol: No luck, not working.Tried again, and put some differences in the frames for "ON" and "OVER" etc.: No luck, not working.Tried again, duplicating a similar, working button, edited it, and: No luck, not working.
To the button itself and the AS: The button will be a scroll-button for a text field, with different scroll speeds on rollover and press, but nothing else. The code for that I have (I think). It's something like (and please excuse my incorrect syntax here, but I'm typing from memory; still, I use the Script-Assistant and my syntax is apparently correct; it's also working with other buttons):
on {rollOver} {
function (scroll) {
textfieldtxt.scroll - = 1;}[code]....
I'm at the end of my wits. The only difference I can tell from other (working) buttons I did the same way, is that the scrollBt does not do anything except scrolling, while all of the others have frame actions (gotoAndplay etc.) associated with them.

The ad on the bottom right of the screen (the one with lightning flashing) has an invisible button in its Flash file (CS5) linking to [URL]. This file is imported as SWF in Dreamweaver CS5.
The hyperlink works in Firefox, but not in Safari. Maybe it is just my computer.
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.

I have created my first flash video and wish to allow the visitors to play the movie themselves instead of having the movie play automatically also have a stop or pause button too.
View 2 RepliesI am having a problem where my buttons on main timeline are working fine. When I create a button within a movieclip layer (a page importeded from Photoshop as a movieclip) the button is not working once I leave. It doesn't show as a working button when I select Enable simple buttons, when I preview or publish as HTML. The thing is, it is a button, it has an instance name, is that weird blue color... and it works fine when I am double clicked into that movieclip layer. I also tried common library buttons and they work fine until I leave that layer as well, also tried it within other layers and creating a new file and doing it... all no success!
View 5 RepliesI have created a Flsh video which when previewing inside Flash CS4 works great, but nothing is displayed on the webpage. This is the markup I put inside my .aspx page:
[Code]...
I'm trying to create a simple "universal" media player which presents the same user interface (or as similar as possible) for video and audio playback. Unfortunately, FLVPlayback seems not to be able to handle audio files as far as I can tell, so I'm using a Sound and SoundChannel.
My video playback is handled using an FLVPlayback component which is "wired" to standard controls on-the-fly when needed. What I want to do is wire them to the Sound / SoundChannel when I'm playing a sound so that the same UI widgets work in both cases. I'd like to avoid building all my components from scratch because the FLVPlayback component does a lot of nice stuff "for free" but it's starting to look tricky.
The standard PlayPauseButton is a MovieClip with two layers, one containing the Play button (and with the instance name play_mc) and the containing the Pause button (pause_mc). Inside one of these is a movie with some code like this:
stop();
this.upLinkageID = "PauseButtonNormal";
this.overLinkageID = "PauseButtonOver";
this.downLinkageID = "PauseButtonDown";

I am having trouble getting a relative path to my video to work.It plays when I link to the video on the server or when I use the absolute path from my hard drive but I need this to play on someone els's computer so looking to enter a realtive path but then the video fails. I am using AS3 CS4. I used to do this using AS2 CS3 so something must have changed.
View 3 RepliesThis is driving me nuts folks. I've imported a video clip to my stage, added a skin for stop, play, pause etc. I test the Flash file using Control --> Test Movie and everything appears exactly as I want it to.
The problem is that when I upload the files to my server the embedded video clip does not appear, nor does the skin. Just a blank space
I have the FLVPlayback component on the stage. This is the only code I have in this file:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
vidPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, showVideo);
[Code].....
I have tried to make simple buttons to control play, stop, paus and play again of a video.When that did not work I found the below instructions, and made movieclips for the buttons to use with the imported FLVPlayback (with none skin).In step 2 I choose play (for the first play-button/movieclip).In step 3, there is no video to choose in the box - only my own movieclips.In step 4 - what's the difference?In step 5 - there is no setting field...Control video playback using behaviorsSelect the movie clip to trigger the behavior.In the Behaviors panel (Window > Behaviors), click the Add (+) button, and select the desired behavior from the Embedded Video submenu.Select the video to control.Select a Relative or Absolute path.If required, select settings for the behavior parameters and click OK.In the Behaviors panel under Event, click On Release (the default event) and select a mouse event.

header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
$video_id = $_REQUEST['id'];

I am trying to load a .swf using loadMovie(). The .swf has a Flash video on it. All I get is a flashing FLV icon. Is it because my original file is Actionscript 2 and the swf I'm trying to load is Flash 3? Or what?
View 1 RepliesI am making a swf file than can receive function call from c#. Right now, it receives "StartVideo" and starts the video really well without any problem. But, if it receives "PlayVideo" and "PauseVideo", it just restarts the video from the first frame. What did I miss??

I'm making a working scrubber on a video, but having problems. The scrub itself it starting out in the middle of the loadbar. I've looked everywhere, trying to find out what is wrong with it. Here is the code and link to my .fla [URL]

I am developing an app using zinc 3.0, flash, as2 and flash media server.. When I broadcast and receive cam data everything is perfect but when streaming flv video nothing displays. I created a custom player with Linked Video Object which shows the video from stream server. The video works perfect if i run as a swf file. But when embedded inside the zinc exe video not displays in video object except buffering goes as it shows it playing..
View 2 RepliesI'm editing a flash site that needs a multi video player. I've already added a few other features to the site, so know the drill now... This video player just doesn't load the external files to it. I'm doing exactly the same thing I did with the other elements, but this doesn't seem to want to work. I've triple checked the spelling of 'config.xml' and even tried changing the action script settings to frame 2, which just makes all the preloaders spin around!
[Code]...
However one problem I have encountered is the only way I can make the buttons appear after the video is finished, is by dragging out the single frame of video on the timeline to whatever length in seconds it is multiplied by the number of frames per second.
Is there some way to maintain each linked clip in a single frame and only move to the next frame (which contains the relative buttons) after the video is finished?
I'm trying create an expandable banner that when expands plays a video that has play, pause, mute buttons and a seek bar.
I've successfully created the video player and converted it to a symbol and it works when I copy it into other flash files so I know it's the banner that troublesome.
The problem is when I use it in the expanded part of the expandable banner I can't click on any of the buttons. I can see it's working as the video is playing and the seeker bar is moving. It's almost as if there's an invisible button over the top (the hand icon is visible) stopping me from hitting the buttons of the player.
The code for the expanding banner is very simple (see below)
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
I'm building a video chat in flash and everything works really well, except for the part where I'm trying to detect if the other user is sending a working video stream. There's a couple of reasons why the other user isn't sending video.
-The other user got no camera
-The other user got a camera, but the camera is currently being occupied by another application(Skype, Photo Booth, Google Talk, etc.)
-The other user got a camera but hasn't allowed the use of his/hers camera.
(Other unexpected problems I guess...)
So how do I detect if the stream I receive from the other user is a black stream(because of the reasons above) using the NetStream class? The closest thing I have came up with is by adding a timer that polls the currentFps() function from the stream I receive from the other user. But so far this seems pretty unreliable because I might get currentFps() == 0 and show an error because of this even though I actually got video from the stream in some cases. The reason for this is because I poll the API every 4 seconds for the currentFPS function and let's say at 00:00:04 I get "no video" according to the poll but at 00:00:05 the video kicks in, and therefor I need to wait until the next tick until the error message disappears
This is what my current poll looks like
function subscribingStatusPoll(e:TimerEvent):void {
if (subscribingStream.currentFPS == 0){
error.text = "No video found from the other user...
} else {
error.text = "";
}}
This is the only hack I that I can come up with to detect this, but this is unreliable and I actually would prefer a way to instantly detect if the stream I receive got a working video attached to it.
I am trying to embed a facebook video on my website but it gives "Video Unavailable. this video has either has been removed from facebook or is not visible".video is public to everyone, is not deleted and I can watch it on facebook via other browsers that I am not logged in. I tried both below embed codes, neither is worked.

On my stage I have a mc (videoLoader) with the mc (loadBar) inside it. When I preview the movie it shrinks loadBar to where it should, but it doesn't expand as the video loads.
ActionScript Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void[code].........
I have a video complete event that was working wonderfully, when it was part of my main SWF, but now I have pulled it out and have it as an external SWF and is being loaded into the main timeline. Now it does not work.
I now get this error on compiling:
Code:
Symbol 'reconnect_video', Layer 'Actions', Frame 141, Line 61119: Access of possibly undefined property COMPLETE through a reference with static type Class.
The code that is causing the error is as follows:
Code:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
reconn.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandlerReconn);
function completeHandlerReconn(event:VideoEvent):void{
[Code].....
This is code is inside off a movieClip called "reconnect_video" which is nested inside of a movieClip called "journal_open". So the parent of this movieClip should still be the same. The "journal_open" movie clip is the one that was removed from the original SWF. (due to size) I am now loading "journal_open" externally, and since then this error has appeared.
Do I have to do something different since this is no longer the main SWF?
I'm using the action script 3 code below to run my main menu buttons, there are 7 in total. The trouble I have is when a video is playing, the user might not stop a video playing before clicking on another main menu button. So the user could go to a different section with video still playing with the audio etc.
// News
content_mc.news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, link1);
function link1(Event:MouseEvent):void {
content_mc.gotoAndPlay("news");
}
So I thought I'd write an if statement, that asks if video video is playing then stop(). Trouble is can't get one to work.
[code]This is my code that i have inserted into the first frame(?) of the fla file.When I use the swf in a html web page, i can hear the video but I can't see it and play skin cannot control the video.This is also a part of a security token code which i'm implementing on the client-side.
View 14 RepliesWhen I import a video to my Adobe Flash CS4 and choose to add a full screen button the full screen button does not work. I choose the "Load external video with playback component" import setting and import my flv. The volume, pause and play all work but not the full screen button. The full screen button works when I open the file in my flash player on my pc.

Currently I am working on FLVPlayer using AS3 and FMS3. When I test tthe connection
Traced NetConnection.Connect.Success And I had added eventlistener for NetStream. It also shown NetStream.Play.ResetNetStream.Play.Start But the video is not showing.
I've inported a flv video and embeded it in one of the templates flash has, when i publish it and I go to the video.html file it plays, when i go to the video.html via my website I get the loading type image on the tracker bar. what is wrong? THe files are all linked correctly, it's video.swf as everything is in my "video" folder.
