I just got this problem after I uploaded my swf file online...it work just fine on my local disk. here the link of the website: [URL]
you can see it stay white at the beginning....it should be a FLVPlayback component.
I have built a pre-loader from tutorials that seems to work well except that you can't see it until it hits about 8o% loaded.
this is the code for frame 1 of my movie. (loading is a text box that shows the percentage as it loads)
ActionScript Code:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function(){
var percentLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal();
[Code].....
why the screen stays blank up until until that 8o% mark when it seems like the whole frame(preloader) loads?
It seems like everytime I get comfortable with some aspect of programming, I attempt another one that makes me wonder why I program in the first place! My mac is lucky I can't afford to throw it out the window.
I'm trying to make a simple Flash application to be placed on a web site. It is intended to take data from an .xml file and display it in the Flash movie. There are a number of buttons that display different nodes of the .xml file when clicked. (Not all the buttons are functional yet in this code; I know that.)It runs just fine in Flash. It even runs fine when I publish it and then run it by clicking on the html file on my computer.When I upload the html and swf files to my server, the html file works fine (gives me a solid colored background) but the swf is just a white box, nothing in it and no functionality.Something needs to be declared, imported or linked, I think, but I do not know what or how to do it. (Most irritating is the fact that the code is substantially taken from an online tutorial, with nary a word about this issue.)

Is this possible to setup a system that would record blank video with audio. Why? Audio recorded as a stream is .flv which is a proprietary format that has trouble seeking or scrubbing to different sections. If I could have it record minimal video with the audio stream then it might work because the video will have keyframes which can be searched. I already have a wowza server recording a stream so I know how to record either audio, or video but recording the users' web cam with it will be too much video, unless I could delete most of it or something later. Maybe there's a way to reduce the video? Like record audio and one rate and video at another?
View 0 RepliesI have tried getting my videos to play and all I get is a black screen with audio only.
After I got a blank screen, I uploaded the .flv (2MB) and the .fla (14MB) files to the server as well (same folder as the .html file) but that didnt help same blank screen.
why this .swf wont play?

Flash CS4 Pro I created a Flash video, which when previewing locally works fine, but then I upload the files to the webserver, then nothing is displayed, I only see a white area where the Flash video should have been (no broken image icon, see the attached jpg file, it shown an white area where the video is suppose to appear).

I'm developing a web app based on videos that my client would like to upload using an online resource such as YouTube or Vimeo. Since YouTube has a 15 mn restriction length on the videos one can upload, my client has decided to use Vimeo instead, but Moogaloop(!) the Vimeo AS3 API is fairly restrictive and only offers a handful of methods to control the video.
What would be your best AS3 API for an online video sharing site? By best , I mean one that allows as much control as possible over the site's player features. I need to be able to listen to events , control the fullscreen capability , enable/disable some specific features such as a "embed" or "share" button.
In Internet Explorer 7 and 8 (WinXP/Flash 10), if I play my videos using the JW Player in the slider they work. However if I move to the next slide and then return to the original slide the video is no longer displayed - the audio is still audible and the video can be played and paused, but there is no image.
I've asked this question on [URL], but the support member cannot see this problem on their computer. Does anyone else see this issue, and if so, You can view the slider and video here: [URL]
If I open the swf on my computer, it plays with no problem at all. When I upload and try to open the file in my browser, I click the initial image that takes you to frame 2 to play the video, and it just sits there blank and does nothing. Could anyone take a look at it for me? [URL]

View 1 RepliesI'm a new Flash user, trying to build a fairly intricate website by newbie standards. I have a basic understanding of Actionscript and OOP, enough to build a fairly nice looking full-featured website. Most of my goals for the website have been met, including dynamic XML content, a dynamic navigation menu, dynamic screenshot galleries.My current nemesis is a flash video gallery. I'm using xml lists of video locations (different types of video, including flv, wmv, and avi), and I've tried both the stock CS4 video player component (FLVPlayback) and the ubiquitous ToobPlayer 1.0.
Here's the problem. When I compile the video and view it offline, with either player component, it works beautifully! Loads each video from the XML gallery and performs as requested. When I upload it to an FTP and run the website (in an html file) as an http:// link, the video player component is no longer visible and nothing playsIt's driving me ape! Do I need to include some .as files when I upload or something?
I used a fantastic XML video tutorial from this site -http:[url]...in a school project here - http:[url].....When I test the site on my local machine everything works fine,but, when I upload it to a web server , clicking on the thumbnails to change the video does not work - except for the first page of videos.
View 1 RepliesI am running Windows 7/64 and Master Collection. I've created a clip of DV NTSC footage to test F4V publishing. Done this many times with CS3 and flv files but this has me stumped. I can successfully view the video and web page locally in IE and Netscape but on upload to my server I have the menu and placement right but no video appears. I created the clip in Premiere Pro CS5 and exported to F4V/FLV best quality. Opened an Actionscript Media DV NTSC template in Flash Pro CS5 and imported the video which I had pre-placed in my root web folder locally. I then exported the swf and saved the fla. All files were then in my root folder and the scrpts in the scripts folder. In Live View in Dreamweaver CS5 all looked fine. In each browser locally the video played as expected. Once all files were uploaded the video was not visible.

Have been incorporating XML data into applications for a while now... have now begun using it for medium to large navigation lists.While I can do any method of horizontal, clamshell, expandable, motion-based navigation etc I have a strange problem overall... I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to code a smart function that will check which nav item was clicked and keep it highlighted until another one is clicked... then that one would highlight and all of the others would be un-highlighted.
I can do rollOvers using references to XML array generated items. BUT-- the smart checker is something I cannot figure out... any ideas out there. Must be simple.
I have a little quirk that I cannot think of why or how to solve. swf1 - I have buttons on stage and in the first frame actions;
med.med_btn.onRollOver = function() { TweenLite.to(med.med_btn, 1, {_x:10, ease:Elastic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(content_mc.contMed, 1, {_alpha:100});}med.med_btn.onRollOut = function() { TweenLite.to(med.med_btn, 1, {_x:0, ease:Elastic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(content_mc.contMed, 1, {_alpha:0});}med.med_btn.onRelease = function() { //loadMovie("webPoet.swf", "blank");}
All works fine. This is loaded inside another swf(swf2). Then the parent swf(swf2) calls for the play to go to the next frame of this movie(swf1), where each button(inside its own MC) has onClipEvent(onEnterFrame) action to drop them off the screen. Everything works perfectly except the last button you have rolled over, creates a double and stays there!!! It happens on only the last one you have touched with the mouse. If you dont touch any they all drop off as required.
I want to get the index of the image currently in the center of the carousel and then I want to use this index number in other classes but it has to stay updated each time.Isuccessfully managed to get the index of the image that is currently being clicked on (this image will then be moved to the center of the carousel so as long as one always clicks on an image at the start, my method will work ) but I dont know how to allow other classes to access this. I tried saving it as a static var and then trying to access it by using the following:
private var coverIndex : int = CoverFlow.selectedCoverIndex;
But I receive the error msg that selectedCoverIndex is not available to static class CoverFlow or something of that sort. This is what my CoverFlow code looks like (i.e. where I determine which image I want to position in the center):
public class CoverFlow extends Sprite {
public var covers : Vector.<DisplayObject>;
private var cover : DisplayObject;[code].............
I use this piece of code to create some eyecandy of debree falling. When an object is destroyed i spawn some rubble and let is fly over the screen. But... when i use this a lot, slowdown is there and even when all the objects are gone the slowdown stays. The good old 50fps won't come back anymore
public function destroyBlock(xPos,yPos,nrObjects) {
for (var debree = 0; debree < nrObjects; debree++) {
debreeObject = new mc_ground();

I used the tutorial here: [URL] to achieve the above, which I did. Then I tried putting AS on the buttons I made to import external clips and they stopped working completely. I've tried putting the AS on the main time line as well as on the btn itself, I've even tried recoding the script from the tutorial and have spent hours searching the net but still cant see what I'm doing wrong.
I've attached the file which should work to me. if the btn code is deleted from the main timeline the menu acts as it should but doesn't link any where. Actually I put the file here: [URL]

Having a really nasty problem. Been "googling" for answer for some time, but no solution so far. My flash app is quite simple. A flash app which uses locally stored XML to create UI and stuff. XML is quite large, but still quite manageable (5mb) Loading XML is pretty standard & easy. No problems here. Making a preloader is easy too. But the problem is:
While testing movie on (flash 8 dev) local machine, I cant get no preloader working. Stays at 0 and instantly jumps to 100. Problem can be bypassed on Flash 8 by setting download simulation on, and after that it works fine. But after you have published your application IE does the same as testing the movie in flash 8, basicly the whole browser is frozen for couple of seconds and then instantly jumps from 0 to 100.
If this is not confusing enough I tried my published App in Firefox and voila, preloader worked like a charm. Preloaded smoothly as silk. wonder if there is a solution? Why Firefox and IE differ so much? I been thinking if the problem is that in IE "locally stored" xml is streamed so fast that UI has no resources to update, but why on earth Firefox is not doing the same?
i have a mc with instance name "preload" on the first frame of the main timeline, with a movie clip instace "numbers" inside that, which contains 100 frames, with text 1-100, masking a gradiant. on the preload mc i have the following code:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();[code].....
which goes to the 2nd frame once loaded marvelously... but it just stays at 1% the whole time until loaded... i keep tweaking it but no improvement.
