ActionScript 3.0 :: Save A Video's Position Using The FLVPlayback Component?
Feb 8, 2010
I've got a video I'd like people to be able to navigate away from in my project, but resume where it left off if they come back to it. I would think I could do this by just saving its current position when they exit that frame as a variable and then using .seek() to go back to that spot if/when they return.
The only problem is that I can't find any script to capture the current position. I tried .time, but it gives me an error.
I am wanting to play a number of movie clips and flash produced video clips. On the main timeline I have a frame for each clip I want to play. In that frame is a flash movie that contains the video that I have embedded onto the timeline for the movie. The filesize for this project is massive and I am struggling to work on the file. I want to be able to play the video files with the playback component in each of the frames where the video was.
Is it possible when publishing a Flash CS4 file to have the Video swf and the Skin swf be in one swf file? I have a Flash CS4 (AS2) file that has a FLVPlayback Component. When I publish or test movie 2 swfs are output. I need only 1 swf as I am then going to insert this 1 swf into a Captivate 4 project. When I insert the video swf by itself into Captivate 4, I do not have a play bar/skin. If it is not possible to publish as one swf, how I can insert the 2 swfs into a Captivate file and get them to work?
i'm trying to embed h264 mp4 video into website using flash cs3 professional. when i select the source file it's looking for .flv files and not the mp4 file so the mp4's are greyed out.i read a great tutorial using a pc which shows the workaround for being able to see the mp4 files.url...I'm however using a mac and this method of putting an * in the file name box doesn't work on mac.
I have developed a video player using Flash 8 Professional and the FLVPlayback component. Recently I have been testing a few 720p .mov files converted to FLV by FFMPEG running on an encoding server. I am noticing that these files do not play back in my video player. It appears that they do not have any audio attached to them but when I play them in Adobe Media Player the audio is there.
Is this due to the FLVPlayback component in Flash 8 not supporting HD videos? When I test locally the video picture plays with no sound but when I run in a browser the video freezes and does not play. The progress bar appears to move as if the video is playing however.
I have made a short movie which I intend to loop on the web using Flash CS3. I found setting up the FLVplayback component really easy and currently have the .swf playing my external .flv perfectly. Now I need to figure out how to loop the movie - seamlessly if possible. I found this video tutorial, but it appears I can't add actionscript to the FLVplayback component in CS3, and the parameters bit doesn't seem to have a option for it. I heard elsewhere that the best way to seamlessly loop a movie in Flash is to embed the movie. Is this true? If so, how do I go about doing this?
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 can play my live rtmp (fms) stream through the FLVPlayback component without any problems. I even figured out how to make my own player in AS2. But I still can not get a LIVE player in AS3. I keep getting "onMetaData", "Async" and "onBWDone" errors in varying combinations.Can someone, please find it in their heart to provide me with the appropriate code? Every single tutorial online is either AS2 or is for flvplayback (nc.connect goes to null).[code]

I keep getting "onMetaData", "Async" and "onBWDone" errors in varying combinations. Here is my working AS2 code. I have a "linked video" thing from the library named "live_feed" on the stage.
Code: //connect to the Flash Media Server client_nc = new NetConnection(); client_nc.connect("rtmp://12.34.56.789/live/");
I have attached a video on a frame of my website in Flash. When I preview the movie the film plays as it should.But when I export the Fla. as a Swf. file it then doesn't have the movie there anymore?It does show this error:
**Warning** The linkage identifier 'FLVPlayback' was already assigned to the symbol 'Video/FLVPlayback', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'FLVPlayback', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
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?
How would you randomly move the mouse 1px while my FLVPlayback is running and stop moving the mouse when the movie ends?I was thinking of using an eventListener that while playing the flv runs a funtion that updates the mouse x and y randomly. But when the move Completes it removes the moveNouse listener.
my_flv.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, removeMouseMove); my_flv.addEventListener(Event.PLAYHEADUPDATE, moveMouse); function moveMouse(){
I know nothing about flash but this is what I am doind with CS5 Adobe Flash Professional:1. Import video. I type in the server location of my .mp4 file.Now when I save it and embed on a webpage it loads and works perfect, however it is not looping. So my question is in adobe flash professional what do I need to exactly?
Im using the FLVplayback component for a project im doing. I want to add the time elapsed and time left on the controls. I dont really want to create my own controls, as im happy with the flv playback component. The FLVs playing in the component are external and are loaded into it via as3
I have tried numerous things but when I insert the FLVplayback Component into flash that is linked to an external video source the fullscreen function will not work but the video plays as needed.
I am working on AS3 project using Flash CS3. I have to display some videos using FLVPlayBack component. I am using the same component instance to display videos but when a new video is loaded the max duration property does not updates and hence the onComplete event is never fired. I somehow wanted to refresh the component when a new video is to be played.
I imported the flvplayback component on-stage in one frame and gave the instance a name of hv.If a button takes the movie to another frame, how do I pause the flv at that point
What are steps to do unload a flv file after clearing necessary memory used for its loading and also to remove the FLVPlayback component.his is the code i have used for creating FLVPlayback component and setting its source.
public var m_flvPlayer:FLVPlayback; m_flvPlayer= new FLVPlayback(); m_flvPlayer.autoPlay = false;
Publish to Flash 8 and using the FLVPlayback component as part of a larger elearning course.We have a legacy pause button that works by recursively looking through every item on stage and if the item is a movieclip following its children and so on. Something like this (there is more to the whole thing, but this is where the problem is):
findCurrent = function (obj){ // RECURSIVE SEARCH FOR MOVIECLIPS for (var i in obj) { if (typeof (obj[i]) == "movieclip" && obj[i] != obj) { if (obj[i]._name == "pauser"{ continue; } var m = obj[i]; m.frameWas = m._currentFrame; isCurrent.push(m); findCurrent(m); } }};
The issue is that when using the FLVPlayback component the 256 recursions limit is reached. I'm guessing that the video part contains a reference to playback controls skin and the playback controls skin contains a reference to the video part and the recursion just goes round and round till it hits the limit and then all actionscript is disabled for the rest of the file.
I thought of adding a counter, and that is probabaly a good idea, but I was wondering if there is anyway to identify that I've hit a video player and stop following it?
Obviously the topeof(myVideoPlayer) is coming back as "movieclip" or I wouldn't be getting this problem. I don't think there is a getQualifiedName for AS2, right? I looked at the properties and couldn't find one that said, "clearlyVideoPlayer."
I'm using the FLVPlayback component to play a movie. In the parameters, I'm setting volume to "8" where the default is "1".This works great and gives me the right volume setting, but if the user touches the volume slider (which I'd like to keep), the new maximum volume is only one.
I have an array of videos coming from an XML doc. I am getting the name of my video in the trace statement okay, but am not sure how to go about loading the FLV video into the player.I have an FLVPlayback component on the interface named "video". The video I'm going to load will be ("videos/" + videoArray[0]))
I try to modify ncmanager file. (I want add parameter when connect method is called). I've edited this file but nothing happens in my application. After two hours of headacke, I delete NCManager (I've made a copy on my USB key).I try to place a FLVPlayback on my scene : no problem ! I can place it, but it does'nt work as I want.So I discover that even I try to change NCManager, this file isn't read.I need help to understand what I must do when I modify these file. Should I have to put it somewhere ? must I compile them and how ?
I have been trying to pull a single random video (.flv) from an XML list to play it using the FLVPlayback component. I managed to get the description from the <desc> tag and the title <vidtitle> tag in the xml file but can't get the flv to play in the player.
I dragged a FLVPlayback component onto the stage and gave it an instance name of "display" but I still cannot get it to work. I get no errors when hitting "control + enter" the video never loads. My code is below.
