I'm trying to contol the amount of time that a video plays, using netstream. I need to have the stream stop or pause after a amount of time... Here is the code...
var flvPlayback:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
var flvPlayback1:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
var cuePt:Object = new Object(); //create cue point object

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to dynamically tell if the main timeline's (or a MovieClip's) playhead is moving or has stopped? I know I can manually set a boolean variable and then toggle it between true and false:

View 3 RepliesI'm making an flv player, and i'm having some trouble getting the playhead to be smooth. It's a little bit jumpy.
The code is pretty standard.
timeline.playhead._x = (player.playheadTime / player.totalTime) * timelineWidth;
But if anyone knows how to get the playhead to move very smoothly

I'm loading external movie on frame 1 of the main timeline.
When that movie stops, I want the main playhead to jump to frame 2 of the main timeline.
What action do i put on the last frame of the loaded movie?
I have a Flash image gallery containing both images and captions fed by an XML sheet. I have an HTML hyperlink in the XML (wrapped in CDATA tags) that I want to control the Flash movie with, i.e. go to frame 70 when link is clicked.
I found this piece of code but it didn't work:
Code:
<![CDATA[<a href="$70" target="_blank">Link</a>]]>
I want my animation to STOP when I press SPACE, and then PLAY when I press SHIFT. This needs to be in AS3. The only catch is that my whole animation is composed of 5 Scenes. I'm confused as to where I should add the code. I have it in a class and it still doesnt work. I tried putting it on the 1st frame on Scene 1.
View 1 RepliesI am doing a presentation using Flash cs3 and using actionscript to animate some of the slides. How do stop the playhead? (ie: each frame is a slide and I amusing timers to animate the presentation).I am currently putting each slide into a frame. Is this thebest strategy?

View 5 RepliesThe playhead in Motion Editor doesn't work and I'm seeing in tutorials.I can't scrub it along the timeline.When I pick a keyframe point it doesn't appear there unless I change the value of that point. If I then click on the playhead rectangle, the playhead disappears (actually it appears to jump to the first frame where it's half visible and can't be moved).I was playing with the motion editor interface trying to better define the problem and I figured out what's wrong.
The Motion Editor values for graph size, expanded graph size, and viewable frames were unusable in their default settings. In particular, viewable frames were set to 1 by default. As I increased the value the playhead started to function. I can't set a value higher than 117. I've maxed-out the graph size setting at 180 (300" wide format display) and the expanded graph size at 200.
I'm using the FLV playback component in AS2 published to Flash 9.
I'm loading in a list of possible FLV (and mp4) videos from XML and then based on the user's input setting the contentPath of the component.
I'm using the external steel playback controls--although I've tried some of the other ones as well.
The video is starting just fine. The metadata is received. But for some reason the little triangle that shows how much of the video has played isn't moving. I can drag it and seek around, but then the triangle just sits there.
I've checked the playheadUpdate event and it is giving the correct percentages every little bit (I'm guessing 250 milliseconds which it says is the default interval).
I apologize if this questions has already been asked and answered. I tried searching through the Flash forum and was unable to find the answer I was looking for. I am very new to Flash and apologize for the simplicity of the question, but I am having trouble moving the playhead along the timeline in Flash. For example, when I open up a new Flash project, and start out with the initial layer with it's single frame, I am having trouble moving the playhead forward to frame i.g. "75" or "80". My questions is, can I not move the playhead because I do not have content past frame one or can I not move the playhead because I have accidentally initiated a button or action that will only allow me to scrub my playhead through frames with content. On the off chance I had done this, I tried restarting Flash with the default settings with no success. Again, I realize this may be a very simple question and I am hoping the answer will be the same.
View 3 RepliesI have simple flash CS4 file (AS3) with a video playback component in a movie clip called "video". The only other thing in this flash movie is a script to load another SWF file as soon as the video is done playing....If I use stop() on the frame with the video - it will play - but then the playhead will not move forward to the next frame which has the next script and if I leave the stop() off - it plays only a a few frames of the video and moves on to the next frame and executes the script that loads the swf file.
Everything I've read requires a button event - and I don't need a button. I just need the video to play - then the next script to execute.Here are the only scripts in the flash movie:
***************************** // in the frame containing video component
stop()
*********************************** // in the next frame after video component.
stop();
[code]...
Using AS3, when a playhead enters a frame, can the movie be paused for 5 seconds, and then the playhead scripted to go to the next frame?

View 5 RepliesI'm loading a swf into a container clip and I'd like to target this swf for control such as gotoAndPlay, etc.
I thought targeting the container clip would do it but it's not. Here's my script so far:
var mediaMenu:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mediaMenuHolder", 1);
mediaMenu._x = 15;
mediaMenu._y = 175;
var mediaMenuLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mediaMenuLoader.loadClip("mediaMenu.swf", "mediaMenuHolder");
this.mediaMenuHolder.gotoAndPlay(2);
The swf is loading but I can't seem to give it any instructions.
My main swf file has about 2000 frames. I want to make a progress bar with playhead that when we drag it, the swf file will adjust appropriate position, similar to the progress bar in comman media players.

View 5 RepliesIf I have for example a simple timeline with 2 labels.The first one is called "Intro" and the second one is called "Loop".So I would like to make the playhead start on frame 1 ("Intro" starts) and when it gets to frame 100 ("Loop" ends), make it loop 3 times and then go back to frame 1.So I would simply write the code:
[code]...
Lets say it does, how would it increment loops to more than 1, if when its incremented to 1 the playhead goes to frame 1, runs that code again, so loops would be assigned 0 again, right?
Is it possible to play the playhead backwards, if i want to play an animation backwards?

View 1 RepliesI'm working on an AS3 project that must load a lot of external files; images, sound clips, movie clips etc. The program first loads an XML file that contains the file names of all assets needed by each class. From that point on I'm not sure what would be the best way to distribute those assets.I thought about making a dedicated assets class that will load everything the XML object describes, and then pass it to each class' constructor so they can access the objects they need. This seems like the "tidiest" option, but is there a best practice way for managing loaded assets?
View 1 RepliesPURE MVC - In my application there are multiple screens which are minimized like in windows desktop. Now each has different instances of mediator which have same notification. So if I do changes in one screen say press some button >> which sends some command >> to proxy >>then proxy sends notifications to mediator. But as multiple screens are active there it is showing changes in all screens as they are notified too by proxies. How to make sure that proxy calls to particular view component (mediator) and not for all live instances of mediators ?
