ActionScript 3.0 :: Skip To A Point In Progressive Download Mp3 Before Downloaded?

Feb 25, 2011

Is it possible these days to skip to a point within a progressive download mp3, before this point has preloaded, similar to what i'm seeing with video players such as youtube? in the past, i've used FMS to achieve this, was wondering how people achieved this without using a streaming server.

Professional :: F4v Progressive Download?

Oct 25, 2010

I'm using Flash CS5, AS3 to create an .swf that imports an .f4v or .flv that was encoded with Adobe Media Encoder.When I use .flv the video begins playing immediately and downloads progressively. When I use .f4v the video has to download completetly before playing. Considering all things are equal except for encoding the video as either .flv or f4v, what step am I missing that is preventing the .f4v from downloading progressively?

Video: Streaming Vs Progressive Download

Jun 18, 2009

I'm trying to decide whether, for my particular application, I would be better off delivering video via streaming or progressive download. Here's the situation: Background: this will be a learning drill for learning foreign language phrases. There will be a series of ten short video clips, each one a headshot of a native speaker, saying a single sentence. The background is static so the only thing changing will be facial expressions, so compression should be pretty effective. Each clip will be approximately 4-6 seconds total length. Resolution will be approximately 360 X 270.

The way this particular drill works makes me wonder if perhaps progressive downloading might make more sense than streaming. But like I said, I'm not a Flash developer, so I could easily be wrong. (Did I mention we're currently looking for a talented, reliable Flash developer?) So here's how it will work: Drill will load up showing written text of instructions, along with audio of the narrator reading the instructions aloud. Approximate length of the audio instructions will be 15 seconds. (I"m thinking progressive download could begin during the reading of the instructions.)

After the instructions have been read, the intructional text goes away and is replaced with (from top to bottom) the text for the first sentence, the video box with a static image of the first frame, a "Begin" button. When the user clicks the "Begin" button, the video begins to play, and the "Begin" button transforms into a "Repeat" button, which is inactive while the video plays. When the video ends, the "Repeat" button becomes active. Clicking the "Repeat Button" causes the same video clip to play a second time (again, the "Repeat" button is inactive while video plays.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Progressive Download Flv Never Plays?

Jan 20, 2011

Like the title states my Progressive download never plays. Before I waste your time and mine showing the methods used I rather start off simple.

Are there any reasons an flv might not be allowed to stream? I have followed the methods in every Progressive video tutorial I can find (about 7 so far) and they explain the exact same steps yet my flv never plays. I have also done it entirely with just action scripte and nothing. I get the player and my video list but never get the video. I have the Source set to the web directory of my flv in the parameters in the property inspector.

I have also tried to use this method with other types of video and it also never plays. The only thing that works is embedd it which is of course a terrible only choice.

Flash :: Progressive Download Vs. Rtmp?

Nov 17, 2009

I'm trying to understand and really pinpoint when to use progressive download vs. rtmp in flex/flash. It seems that the main point is that rtmp is not served with http, whereas progressive download is. Since it's not rtmp, the resource is protected since there is no way to connect to the rtmp server from outside the swf.

[Code]...

they would not be able to connect to rtmp. So rtmp seems to be more useful when you want to protect a resource? Is that all there is to it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: FLV Progressive Download Interrupted?

Jun 19, 2009

I have written my own flv player in Actionscript 3. You can view it in action here. It serves up sample videos. All of the videos are encoded at 700kbps (I know that is really high. I'm working on serving different bitrate versions) and they range from 8mb files up to 95mb. have had reports that sometimes the videos will stop playing, and the only way to get it to restart is to stop and restart (sometimes even refreshing the page). I have never had the problem on any of my computers. However, in talking with someone that does have the problem I have figured out that it is an issue with connection. The connection gets interrupted for some reason and it will stop downloading. BTW, everyone says that youtube, and other flv sites works just fine.

pausing the actual download of a progressively downloaded FLV/F4V or MP4 file?

Scenario: You have a playlist-style video player. You start downloading/playing a video file using the netStream class. Video finishes downloading (bytesLoaded == bytesTotal) and is playing fine. Custom class you have starts downloading other video files in your playlist. The need arrises to PAUSE the custom class's downloading of other video files (similar to pause buttons in downloads windows of web browsers).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Cancel Progressive Download With FLVPlayback

May 5, 2010

I have created a SWF file with three main sections. Each section has at least one video that is viewed using the FLVPlayback component. In order to reduce bandwidth, and unnecessary processes in general, I want the videos only to load if the user is currently viewing that section.

The first part is simple enough only call the source method for the FLVPlayback until the video is needed.  Great, works fine.  However, problems arise in cancelling the download.
 
I have searched the Adobe documentation, and it seems almost impossible to stop a progressive download using FLVPlayback.  (To be honest, I am using FLVPlayback simply so I don't have to build my own player. Its a whole other level of complexity that I simply do not want to get into unless ABSOLUTELY needed.) 
 
The Adobe methods that actually stop streams (closeVideoPlayer(), etc.) render the FLVPlayback instance useless once called. I was looking for a way to stop a download AND be able to use the FLVPlayback instance again.
 
[URL]
 
To test it, I created a simple file (the AS is below) with only an FLVPlayback component and a button on the stage.  The button is connected to a function that clears the video and then resets the FLVPlayback instance to play the file again.
 
Everything works (play, pause, volume, etc.) EXCEPT that after button has been clicked and the reset function has been called, clicking the component's stop button "breaks" the player.  The seekbar displays its streaming mode and clicking on any other button inside the player does nothing.  (I could not recreate the problem in the Flash IDE (imagine that!), but it persistently appears when testing in a browser.)

Flash :: Playback Of F4V Using FLVPlayback Won't Use Progressive Download

Dec 17, 2010

I am using FLVPlayback Component in Flash AS3 to play an F4V video hosted on a different server. I want it to start playing as soon as possible, but the video won't start playing until the F4V is completely downloaded (I checked with Firebug). I tried fooling around with the component's bufferTime parameter, but it didn't seem to make a difference. For what it's worth, the SWF is being embedded in a Facebook profile using the FBML tag fb:swf, although I can't see how that would make a difference here.

Professional :: Hanging At White Box Before Playing Progressive Download

Apr 8, 2011

I have several flv files displaying just fine on my website. All I am am trying to do is replace an enormous .flv file with a smaller file of the same movie. The new smaller file is just 25 MB, compressed with a bitrate of 1000kbps. The test page that contains the smaller file previews just fine of course in Dreamweaver, but after uploading the clip, the html page, the .swf files (in the same directory) and the Scripts folder to my host's ftp server, the browser shows me that dreaded white box on my test page for a full seven minutes until the file loads up completely. Then it plays through beautifully with no buffering. On the other pages of my site, the videos all show up without such a wait, even the enormous 179 mb flv!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Video Player - Streaming Or Progressive Download?

Jul 20, 2011

I've developed a video player using NetConnection/NetStream that works fine, in as2 and also in as3. The peculiarity of my player is that read an xml file (editable by a cms) that sets if needed some "cuepoints". In the stream version it's not possible to inject ascuepoints in the video file, so i read the xml and with a listener i set a menu that sets the seek point of the video. Also the user when watch video sets an exit point by closing it. From the second time the user lands on the player, my code put the seek point in the last position seen.

I've seen youtube player and I know that youtube uses progressive download. It's awesome to know that because you can jump from one position to another like a streaming service. It seems an hybrid version with the capabilities of the streaming and the band saving of the progressive download. There's something that i can't imagine..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Progressive-Download Video Just When Press Play?

May 13, 2010

I have set the Progressive-Download video instead of Streaming-Video (because my webserver provider "aruba.it" doesn't offer streaming videos), in Flash CS4 Professional, and exported to Dreamweaver CS4. I have also inserted the HTML code in Dreamweaver CS4 to enable FullScreen Playback of Flash .flv Videos.Now I have a problem:

- When the webpage loads into Internet Explorer 7, it take much time to load all the videos at same time!
 
Thus I want this:
 
- I want that the videos start to load just when I press the Play button, individually, not at same time.- I don't not want that start the load immediately when the webpage opens in IE7. - I want that the videos start to load content in the same manner of YouTube videos, just when I press play.

How can I do? What is the HTML code that I should insert into DreamweaverCS4? I have seen this help page: [URL]

At Chapter "Public Methods" I have seen this "load" function:"Begins loading the FLV file and provides a shortcut for setting the autoPlay property to false and setting the source, totalTime, and isLive properties, if given..."

ActionScript 2.0 :: Lining Up Buttons Over Progressive Video Download With Cue Points?

Apr 13, 2012

I am looking to create something like [URL]

Basically a video that allows you to click on products and pull up more info on them as they appear in the video.

The video I will be using is 3 mins long with 10 products you can click on, so I guess I will need to progressively download it. If I could embed it in the timeline it would be a piece of cake. I would just have buttons motion tweened moving with the products in the timeline. But the file size will be too large to make this a sensible option.

My question is, I understand cue points can be used to activate actions for progressive video downloads, but how would I track the buttons over the products using progressive downloading when I can't see the video in the flash timeline?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Store Images From Gallery. Skip Download Next Time?

Jul 5, 2010

I've made an image gallery which loads images from an XML-specified folder. My function doGallery(urlPath); is using an URL-Path as an argument, which allows me to load new images and create a new gallery with these at runtime.The function will store loader objects in a gallery array, which is then cleared and overwritten once a new gallery with new images are made.So far so good. However it seems as if I have to re-download the same images as I have already once loaded, if I decide to go back to a previously visited gallery. I assume this is because I overwrite and clear the array which contains my previous loaders. Could anyone confirm this and possibly offer a solution? I hope I'm making myself clear enough for you to grasp my issue here.

The video player comes out of the seeking state and resumes playing only when the video file has completely downloaded. How do I implement the functionality where the player when seeked to a point that has not downloaded simply seeks back to the amount that has downloaded.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Download A File To The PC Through The Normal Browser Download Manager?

Jul 1, 2010

So I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.

I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.

However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.

Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.

I generate a HTML page with VB.Net which stores several pinks to files. These links are formatted with JavaScript looking like the Windows-Explorer with folders and files. The problem: There are only download links for the files, not for Folders. A folder can contain Subfolders ,a List of Files or a combination of both. So if I want to download a folder, I have to click manually on every file-link. I have not the possibility to insert PHP or another Server-side language. my question now is: Is there a client side way to Download them by click on a Folder? I prefer Javascript but If it isn't possible Flash will be ok also.
