I was wondering, what was the best way to for actionscript 3.0 to detect cuepoints playing from a FLV movie that is playing from an FLV playback component?
View 1 RepliesI have some animation (programmatic, I'm NOT using keyframed animation in timeline), and some music I want to play in the background. Once the music file reaches the end (about 30 seconds long), I want to trigger the end of the animation functions.I figure I could either use an actionscript timer to trigger the end of the animation or a keyframe with actionscript that is placed on the timeline near the end of the song but these methods assume knowledge about the duration of the wave file. If I changed the framerate or updated the external wave file, these triggers would possibly no longer sync upIs there some sort of event listener or other detection method for an audio file to signal it has finished playing? Or maybe there is a way to get the duration of the audio file to use in the timer
View 3 RepliesI have recently got this error with .swf and FLV playback videos. The problem is when the .swf file is run it does not play the FLV playback video though everything else in the swf works fine.
When I test the system with CTRL + ENTER, everything works fine including the FLV playback video. However, after this process when I run the SWF Movie file (auto generated) on its own it does not play the same video that plays when I test it in Adobe Flash CS4.
The .flv videos and the skin for the flv playback video are all together in the same folder as the SWF Movie file. I doubt that the skin has anything to do with this.
I found some flash CS3 documentation that says : When you create a SWF file with embedded video, the frame rate of the video clip and the SWF file must be the same. Therefore, I set the FPS in the .FLA file to 25 fps (same as the video fps).
When I debug the movie (CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER) I get this error:

View 2 RepliesI am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.

I'm loading an external SWF("slides.swf") into a AS3 UILoader component on the main stage with an instance name of "loadWindow" when the user clicks a button.I'm also monitoring "slides.swf" loading with preloader script. When the movie in the UILoader is completely loaded, I want to advance it (the movie within the UILoader) to the next frame. In AS2 it was easy to reference a swf loaded into a movie clip... the nested movie's root took the place of the MC's timeline.

I am using the loader class to load an external swf "cube_final.swf". note I am setting a movie_clip (set on stage) to alpha=0 as I want it to remain invisble until the loaded swf finishes playing. I will then set alpha = 100% .
But how to i detect that the swf has finished playing? I can detect whether its loaded (i'll place a preloader in the loading() function)
this.open_cube.alpha = 0
var introLoader:Loader;
function loadIntro(url:String):void {

I have an external transparent swf loading in to my movie. The swf has to be imported over a button element on stage. The swf plays for a few seconds than it appears to go off-stage... at which point I need to free up that button to be clicked.
So, I need to detect when that movie has finished playing and then unload.
My code so far.

I have a NetConnection attached to a NetStream, which is in turn attached to a Video. As you can guess, this is a video player. I've looked through the public properties of all three classes and could not find an "isPlaying" property - a boolean that would tell me video is currently running (and not paused, stopped, nor corrupted). [code]...
View 2 RepliesI have 5 loaded swf files, I can play them one by one using "next" button. But now I need a "autoplay " button. My thinking is to dectect one swf finished, then call the "next" function, so it can be played automaticly. The thing is I don't know how to dectect one swf is finished playing.

Lets say hide something on 10th second and show it again on 20th second.I can easily do it in HTML5 with video tag and currentTime attribute but for IE I have to create the same functionality and I think with flash based videos (from YouTube or something like that).Is there a way to detect the current time of a video playing on my website, embeded from YouTube, Metacafe or any other video sharing site?I know I could detect it in flash and make it run some JavaScript function but I don't have flash nor have the skills to do it in AS3.

On the Flash client side,how do I detect when the server purposely closes the TCP connection to its video stream? I'll need to take action when this occurs - maybe attempt to restart the video or display an error message. Currently, the connection closing and the connection being slow look the same to me. The NetStream object ushers a NetStream.Play.Stop event in both cases. When the connection is slow, it usually recovers by itself within seconds.I wish to only take action when the connection is closed, not when it is slow.Here's how my general setup looks like. It's the basic NetConnection->NetStream->Video setup.
this.vidConnection = new NetConnection();
this.vidConnection.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, this.connectionAsyncError);[code].....

I am creating a game that has 6 movieclips all on the main time line of the game. Each movie clip has three buttons that when clicked plays, pauses or stops a sound clip.When I press any of the sound clip play buttons that sound starts playing, the problem is when I click any of the other sound clip play buttons those sounds also start to play. Is there a way I can disable the other sound clip buttons while the current sound is playing then enable all of the buttons when the current sound has stopped.
This is the code that creates one of the sound objects
[Code]...
So I made a few buttons with sounds within them and when I publish it they work just fine. But what I want them to do is;
Say I click a Button.The sound starts playing.Then I click it again, before the sounds done playing.I want it to stop the playing sound and start playing the button I just clicked on, whether it be the same button, or a different one.Right now it just ends up sounds like an echo because it'll play it as many times as you click it.
The problem I have is I click the play button and start playing. Then I click next and when I click play for another song the songs overlap. How can I stop whatever song is playing and start playing the new one? Has to stop the prev song when I click play_brn.

ok so i have a button that plays an animation for fire when held down. and when realsed goes to and stops and frame one. when it reaches the end of the time line it goes to and plays at frame 10 and goes back to the end of the timeline. I have a sound for the fire animation that plays for the effect. The problem is the sound keeps going untill its over even if the button isnt held down. and when the playhead reaches the end of the timeline it goes to and plays and frame 10 and it replays the sound. if i hold it down it will just keep playing the sound over and over from start to finish. what i want it to do it when i hold the button down i want it to play the sound and when released it stops the sound where ever it is at. I also dont the sound to play again if there is a sound already going to stop it from playing 20 sounds at one time it gets loud and you need asprin after about 5 seconds of that.
View 2 RepliesI have a button on stage names voices. When it is click the video component should play voices.flv.
Here is my code.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
voices.buttonMode = true;
voices.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, video);
function video(event:MouseEvent):void {
flvplayback.source = this.event.target + ".flv";

I get this when I click on the button:
Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
I cannot get my sample program using the FLVPlayback component (using as2) to play back FLVs that are still in the process of being recorded. I have no problem playing back FLVs that are complete. Is this a practical limitation?

View 5 Repliesi have an fla file with 5 keyframes. Each keyframe navigates forward to the following keyframe. On the fifth keyframe, a Loader loads an external swf. The external swf has an flv playback component with sound.
The fifth keyframe, other than having a button to click to load the swf, has a movie clip that navigates you back to the first keyframe. The loaded swf, once loaded, may be removed using removeThis function which has removeChild code as well as a flv.stop(); which makes the flv stop when the swf is removed. So u're back on keyframe 5, no sound ASo, all is well and the user can navigate back to the first keyframe (from keyframe 5), and from there continue on to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th keyframes again, problems start though, when you get to that 5th keyframe again: that keyframe has an FLVPlayback component playing an flv, which at that point becomes very sluggish as all the mc animations on that 5th frame. And worse, i realize, the flv in the external swf that was previously loaded, starts playing by itself, which i know, because i hear its sound track.
I tried putting a conditional statement to tell the _flv to stop on keyframes 1 and 5, but that causes errors, considering that the flv is an undefined property from the perspective of those keyframes.
I'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too. Why doesn't it begin playback right away, or at least w/in a couple seconds? What can cause this bloated lead in time?
