I am trying to find when an FLV I am using with a FLVPlayback component with an instance name of "videoComp" is finished playing. Here's the code:
videoComp.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, movieDone);
function movieDone(event:VideoEvent):void {
trace("movie complete");
[code].....
My Challenge is this...To feed up to 5 video references (filepaths) into the SWF which contains the FLVPlayBack component, and have these play in sequence automatically.
Once the first video ends, the next begins...Currently our FLV player takes 1 filepath passed by FlashVars and play it.
First things first... I just want to get the function of having one .flv file play after the first has finsihed... do I need some kind of listener?
I'm trying to get a video I've placed on stage in an FLV component to Loop to the beginning once it's finished playing. However, once it plays through it stops and doesn't loop round, although the trace statement I'm calling in the loopVideo function is appearing in the output window? Here's my code...

I'll start by saying that I'm in the process of learning actionscript. That said, I'm wanting to play two videos with actionscript. I went through a tutorial and using a pre-built flash player I used the following script
[Code]....
Which worked fine. That said, that was just a test. We are wanting to use the F4 Player. I opened up the player and looked at the actionscript (which is below). I had some trouble, so I posted on here and this was my response..

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 4 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 have an instance of an flvplayback component on a frame (not the first frame) on a timeline in a flash AS3 flash app file. I would like to stop the movie when i exit that frame, either via gotoAndStop() or whatever else.s there a listener for this? Or any solution that people know of?
View 1 RepliesIm using an instance of the FLV PLayback component, how can I find out if the video is finished so I can then do another function?
View 2 RepliesSOUND_COMPLETE apparently isn't working!
In short, this is what I have:
ActionScript Code:
var playingsong:Sound;
function loadTrack(track){
playingtrack = new Sound();
[Code].....
I have a trace on trackFinished, and it never happens, so it's never getting called.
i am playing around with the rotationX/Y/Z properties available in flashplayer since version 10. for testing purpose i created a cube and put canvas objects on three sides of it (top, front, bottom) and created a tween to get the values required for turing by 90 deg. turning the cube (a canvas) using rotationX = xx works well when the three side-canvas objects are small and filled with a not-to-complex element hierarchy. when using larger and more complex content it slows down. the next idea was to remove the canvas elements content and replace it by a snapshotimage of the content instead before starting the turn, after the turn is performed the original content is put back on the sides again.
this results in a good perfomance increase. using a tween the last step of rotation is done in the function that is called as the tweenEnd handler. in this function also the process of copying the canvases content back is performed. unfortunately this results in a short hang of the cube right in that last rotation step, the reason for which is that rotation and copying back takes place at the same time. so i could wait for some time after having called cube.rotationX = endValue by using a timer or setTimeout(func, 500), but this is ugly. so my question is: after having called cube.rotationX = endValue a period of time is required to calculate data for the rotation and do the rotation itself. is there a way to find out the point in time when the rotation has ended, so that then the copying can be started ?
I have some code where I am loading a few hundred images into an array in Flash. I am using XML to pass in the list then a Loader for each entry like this -
for (var i:int = 0; i < myXML.item.length(); i++) {
imgloaders[i] = new Loader();
imgloaders[i].load(new URLRequest(myXML.item[i].imageLocation));[code]...
I want to perform some action once all of these have finished loading. The only way I can think of is to increment a count each time one finishes and have a Timer that checks if the count has reached the number of images I am loading.
I was wondering if there was a way to get the sound from a FLVPlayback component and manipulate it with using a custom volume slider? Within my Actionscript I currently have this code which enables me to control the volume of a MP3:
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
var mysong = new music();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var myTransform = new SoundTransform();
myChannel = mysong.play(0,10);
[Code]...
But Instead of using the MP3 for sound, is there a way to use an FLV's sound instead?
I created a website off of a template, and of course didn't learn the Flash MX 2004 program before I started and just intuitioned through it. Now, the site works great, but I want to edit it and can't get to any of the layers, because I'm sure I've fumbled the organization. Tried onion skinning, and timeline/tween clicking - no go. I'm sure it's the simplest thing in the world, but sometimes the obvious is the hardest thing to see.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project where a SWF will play (as sort of a splash), followed by JS. After the video plays, the navigation and content will appear, and the video will fade out. I'm just wondering what would be the best way to accomplish this? Play the video first and then load everything via ajax behind the scenes? The goal is to be as seamless as possible and I am having a flash asset provided to me by the client.

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 {

How do I do that? Writing the code in the timeline does not seem good to me in as3, nor am I sure how to do it. I saw a site with an answer but it uses the main timeline for coding. Is it okay if I use the timeline for codes like in as2 or is it considered a bad practice?
View 5 RepliesI did a file/import/video and pointed to a video on my server and this is all on the first frame. On my aa layer I have the following[code]...
As you can see, when the video finishes, it hops to frame 2 and continues to the website. What started happening on a few occasions, is the timeline would randomly jump back to frame 2 for no apparent reason. I'm assuming it's because I didn't remove the instance of the video, or something along those lines? This whole issue on;y started when I introduced the video.
I am using actionscript 2 and I am trying to get my FLV to jump another frame in my flash movie after it's finished playing. I am using the FLV component that comes in flash to play the FLV and i've embedded an event cue point in the FLV but I am not sure what I am now supposed to do!
