ActionScript 3.0 :: Create External Xml Video Playlist?
Dec 9, 2010
I was given an assignment to create and external video playlist using an xml file. I have never used flash before, know nothing about encoding and all that was given to the class in terms of instuctions was a short tutorial that has no resources for troubleshooting. We were given everything; the external playlist file equipped with the video skin, the video list, actionscript that loads the xml and the xml file. We were told that all we need to do is change the names of the videos in the xml file to match the names of our videos. I did that. We were also told we needed to "name target", but we were not informed on how to do this. I have tried everything, visited every tutorial and I cannot figure out how to get this damn thing to work. I cannot even get flash to load the xml file.
Here is the xml file:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "i-8859-1"?>
<playlist><ADogWithoutABoneflvurl="ADogWithoutABone.flv"desc="Hyper Wall First Video" />
[Code].....
I tried placing the full address of the xml file in, along with the file address of the videos, but again it did nothing. Everything is located in the same file, and the videos in a sub file in that file. I tried taking out the sub file and putting all the videos in the same file, but it did nothing.

I'm wanting to create a xml based video playlist like the one on the link below. I've searched Flashkit and the web and found a few things, but nothing really close in operation or that I could use.

As stated above, I wanted to know if I can take a video playlist, say with 4 clips, and have FMIS create a separate file out of the 4 individual clips. Specifically, a user selects 4 (or any number) of clips to create their playlist, then at the end, a 'full length' file is created. If this isn't clear, let me know and I'll try to elaborate.

I am trying to create a dynamic xml driven video playlist, that will display the thumbnail, title and time duration of the video (quite similar to the one on youtube). But I don't know where to begin and I have been googling for some helpful tutorials but cant find anything resourceful.if I shall use the Flash component for scrolling purpose or I shall learn to develop my own scroller with scrollbar.

I'm trying to create a page for one of my clients where I will store a bunch of videos. I came up with something like this.[URL]..You click on each button and you watch different videos. Pretty simple! Now my challenge is this: I would like to display different descriptions for each video whenever the viewer clicks on one of the buttons with the video names.

There will be a "pool" of SWF files- I would like to create a "shell" swf that will load an external XML file that will determine which of the files in the "pool" the shell will play. I guess this would be called an XML-driven SWF playlist.Forgive me if my terminology is rather primitive- again, I'm new to XML (I'm an animator by trade.)

I have created a flash video player using a customised flvplayback component and an XML playlist.The playlist in flash consists of a tumbnail with a name, which is within a scrolling MC, and 2 text areas under the video player itself.one for the title and the other for a description. All text and images are loaded from the XML.The default player starts with an auto play video and then the user can select a video from the playlist on the right.I'm trying to make it so I can create a URL link on another page within our website (home page)i.e "see this video of us doing this". I want the URL link to take the user to the video player page, but load in a specific flv and text from the XML instead of the default.
Is this possible?I have looked into flashvars but im not sure how to implement this with an XML player, and preferably not having to create a duplicate html page.(I would like the URL link to tell the flash player which video to load)

I am working on a video player with a selectable xml video playlist. I have successfully made the playlist draggable but can't seem to figure out how to allow the list (previously accessible outside the draggable movie clip) to be selectable. drag_mc is the movie clip which I have made draggable. Here is the part of code I am dealing with:

I am using Lee's xml video playlist and it works great with http video links. I now need this flv player to stream rtmp link. Streaming one video from the rtmp server works fine but when using the xml list the video doesn't load.

I am using Lee's video playlist.It all functions great.Instead of alphaNumber text for the list, I would like to create thumbnails. I prefer small movie clips for thumb nails.Is it possible to modify this xml code to accomplish this? I have 3 movie clips for thumbs names mc_1 mc2 and mc3. Or, do I need to modify the AS also?
Code: Select all <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<videos>
<video url="http://marcdebiase.info/meVideos/Video4.flv" desc="Video 1" />[code].........

I have made my own video player with some help from the gotoandlearn tutorials. I now want to be able to quickly switch between different videos without using the list component, just a button on the stage. I have it half working, the new video loads and plays but the old video freezes and stays on top. How do I stop this from happening.The video Player code
Code: Select allfunction newMovie()
{
ns.play(file);[code].......

i'm using the XML Video Playlist tutorial and have it working like a charm, but my issue is that once a video is done playing, i'd like it to stop. Instead, it starts the video over. i tried adapting the Code: Select allfunction restartIt() {ns.seek(0); by giving a false value, but it didn't change anything. I also added a Code: Select all<param name="loop" value="false" /> to my web page, but that didn't help.

I am trying to generate a play list from my XML file. In the function videoList produces a list of url for specified node, the trace(vidSource) shows:
Top level: Our Services [URLs]
How can I loop thru these urls and pass them into my stream_ns.play(vidSource); ?
Code:
function videoList(categoryName:String, loadUrls:XMLList):void {
//trace(categoryName);
if (categoryName=="Our Services") {
trace("Top level:", categoryName);
for (var i:int = 0; i < loadUrls.length(); i++) {

I'm trying to create a playlist for a videoplayer that is already created, using XML.
Here is the code:
Code: Select allarquivo_xml = new XML();
arquivo_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
arquivo_xml.onLoad = function(success){
[Code].....
I want that the button created, when pressed, go to a specific URL. So in this exemple above, I created a text field (instance name ->"teste1") to display the URL . But the only XML node that appears is the last one. I'm starting to use XML, so I can't understand what is going wrong, because so far, I could do the name("File1,File2,File3") of the file appear OK in the button the I created with the "attach" function.

I am trying create a video playlist driven by XML. My problem is Flash doesn't seem to be recognising the array. It comes out perfectly in the trace.
Heres the AS:
PHP Code:
var xm:XML = new XML();//creating XML object
var title_array:Array=new Array()//array objects to hold title data from xml
var creator_array:Array=new Array()//array objects to hold creator data from xml
var location_array:Array=new Array()//array objects to hold location data from xml
var image_array:Array=new Array()//array objects to hold image data from xml
var info_array:Array=new Array()//array objects to hold info data from xml

I built an AS3 based XML controlled playlist as taught by republic of code (I can't post the link apparently).
Now however I have videos that are done in 16:9 as well as 4:3, which means I've got to get the FLV/F4V player to change sizes. Is this possible? As of now it only distorts the images to get them to fit.

This is borrowed code from some developer on Adobe's website. This works great, but the user has to click in the tilelist to play the next video in sequence.
For the application I am developing it is imperetive that the next video gets played as soon as the previous video finished.

package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.URLLoader;

I made an xml video playlist with thumbs and video description within a scrollbar. Now I want to add 2 titles. one for my work as an editor and one for my work as a director. The first one will be on top of the list, the second one will be after the last video as an editor. There won't be any interactivity with those titles, it's just text.
Here's my code :
var thumb_width:Number;
var thumb_height:Number;
var thumbs_x:Number;
var thumbs_y:Number;
var video_x:Number;

Creating a simple video for embedding by importing a video into flash creates a separate swf for the controls. Is there a way to have the controls embedded in the main SWF, so you don't have to worry about paths to the control swf?
