I am using using Flash Builder to create an AS3 video player which needs to support Closed Captioning. However, I am not using the FLVPlayback component. Is there a way of doing something like addASCuePoint() to flash.media.Video;, or is my only option using Flash' Timer to do my own check?

I am looking to add closed captioning to video being played via Netstream. The "cuePoints" and text-data would be pulled from an external XML file. I am tinkering around with different libraries/add-ins but not having much luck. I've read that you cannot add cuePoints to a netstream programmatically.
View 7 RepliesI currently have a problem with captioning on a video file that I am streaming from Flash Media Server. For some reason, the first time the video is viewed, the captioning pauses right around 6 mins. I've verified this happens from multiple computers, from different physical locations and on different networks. The video continues to play, but the pause button on the playbar also looses functionality and the captioning does not progress.
I've created a total of 11 videos all using the Flash CC plugin with a custom button for show/hide captions and minimal playbar which only includes the pause button and the mute button. This only happens in this one particular file, but they are all setup the same. From what I can tell, the xml is constructed correctly (TT XML generated by contractor).
The code I've written works fine on all the other files. The only thing I can see that's different among the files is possibly the size of the movie I'm streaming. Its the longest. If the viewer refreshes the page and watches the movie again, the pause does not happen. Is it possible that a setting may need to be changed on the Flash Media Server?
implement closed captioning into my FLVs. I have successfully set up the FLVplayback component, and the FLVplaybackCaptioning component to work. That's not the issue. The issue is, once I have my swf, flv, and xml files (needed to successfully use CC in a FLV), I need to insert that .swf into my captivate project.
It appears to insert/import OK, but once I publish the project, the swf does not appear, and in fact the FLV icon sits on the slide rapidly blinking. Neither the video plays, nor can I even see the playback component/closed caption component (swf) that holds the FLV.
All paths are relative, so the only things I can think of that may be causing the issue are:
a)Captivate doesn't support CS3 FLVPlayback or
FLVPlaybackCaptioning components
b)Since Captivate allows importing of FLV files directly, running the FLV through the component's swf is a problem
c)The hierarchy of files needed for the Closed Captioning FLV (xml, flv, swf), interfere with compiling the new Captivate .swf
upon publishing I've also been told that the FLV captioning component only works in Actionscript 3.0 which runs on Adobe Virtual Machine 2.Captivate publishes .swf files using Actionscript 2.0 which runs on Adobe Virtual Machine 1. Therefore, what I need to do will not work.
I have a simple mp3 player I'm making for timing out closed captioning. It plays one mp3 based on an ExternalInterface call, updates a text field with the position and allows for pausing and jumping the position back a bit. It will have a scrubber, but that code isn't in there yet. There is no complex code anywhere in the file, but it is still getting confused with btnPlay.visible or btnPause.visible, depending on which is visible first.

I have created a tutorial for users that will register to use an application. I am used to using Adobe Captivate, but that is not available to me at my current job. So, I am doing my best in Flash. I couldn't figure out how to create a rewind button, so I cut up my tutorial into scenes that are based on what screen the user would see when registering.
Because of this, my audio will be cut into the scenes. I have created pseudo Closed Captioning by hiding and showing text when a user clicks on a Show or Hide button. That's great except, when the movie goes to Scene 2, the closed captioning returns to an off state and the user would need to click Show again. I want to know if there is a way to set a variable when the user clicks Show that can carry into subsequent scenes to then continue showing the Closed Captions. Alternatively, is there a way to make a rewind button or another way to handle Closed Captions? I am very new to ActionScript (3 or otherwise) and must have Closed Captions to meet federal law.

View 20 RepliesI'm trying to create a navigation panel based on the Flex Accordion control. The 2 things I'm trying to figure out are how to:
modify the Accordion so that all of the of "panels" are closed by default. (normally one of the panels is open by default)treat some of the Accordian headers as just simple buttons (ie you click and an event is triggered instead of an accordion panel opening)
For 2 weeks now, i have been trying to work out this issue and still i have had no luck.. i dont even know what im looking for.
See image attached to explain better than words.
My idea is i need to generate a nice curve between graphical points but in a way that produces smooth curves at runtime.
First i want to say its my first post and i've been diging straight up gold from this site and i love it and everyone out there smart enough to give out solutions.So basically am writing a game and i have bezier curve that controls where an actor moves. Am using only 3 points (start, control1, end) and everything is fine.Now i want to create a bezier curve that passes through a certain point (r1) at t = 0.5 . The problem being that i have my start point, my end point and my point (r1) at t=0.5, and i need to find the control point.
View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to make a curve drawing tool a bit easier to use.Rather than drawing a basic curve and then clicking on the control point to change it, I would like the user to be able to click on the curve itself to change it, much as you do in the FlashIDE.So, given start and end points, and a point on the curve, how do you determine the control point for use with the MX API?(I googled this, but found mostly info on cubic rather than quadratic curves)
View 3 RepliesHow can I translate bezier pen anchor and control Points into drawing API code? I would like to design my shapes by hand in flash or illustrator, but have the final application draw them on the fly via the drawing api. The only way I can think of is to create a pen tool/drawing application in flash first, and record as you draw.

I have a video that is playing in an FLVplayback Component, inside of a MovieClip. I have a cue point in the video about half way through, that triggers a seperate MovieClip (on the Parent timeline). This worked perfectly until I removed the Parent MovieClip, and made it an External SWF. Now the cue point triggers this in the Output window:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label head_fade not found in scene head_fade.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at M_fla::head_intro_7/fl_CuePointHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()

Do i have to do anything different now that this is in an external file.
I'm currenlty working on a Flash project where I need to navigate to certain points in an FLV video. I've worked a little with FLV before, and I've worked with cuepoints to trigger other actions/events in Flash, but what I'm looking to do here is when certain events happen in Flash (could be as simple as someone clicking on a button) I need the video to jump to a certain point.
My first thought was to set actionscript cuepoints then have the events in Flash make the video go to those cuepoints, but I can't seem to find any information how to do that. All the information on cuepoints I've been able to dig up talk about using the cuepoints in the video to trigger other actions, not vice-versa.
A NetStatusEvent with info.code of "NetStream.Connect.Closed" is dispatched by NetConnection when a NetStream is closed. This seems kind of weird, shouldn't the NetStream dispatch the event? how do I know which NetStream has been closed if I have more than one running (which I do)? I need to know so I can cleanup the now dead stream.
View 1 RepliesI have a few questions about cue points that I can't answer with my Google skills. Firstly, I am looking into using navigation cue points for playback of an FLV in my Flash project. But the seektocuepoint functions don't seem to play to the cue point, they just skip ahead. I want to actually play through to the actual cue point in the video. Is there a way to do this?
Secondly, I noticed that you can't play FLVs in reverse.
And lastly, is there a way to implement easing when playing and stopping FLVs? I know this sounds odd, but it would sort of be like dropping the playback rate to half just before stopping. Is this possible?
All i want to do is make a video streaming in a video object to stop on a cue point, and play from abother when a button is pushed. It's relatively simple, right? Wrong. Over a hundred $s in how-to books and several hours wasted searching online later and I have nothing. I have checked and re-checked the cuepoints are correct (i made them in flash video encoder CS3) and tried just about everything as far as AS is concerned. Here is my latest attempt: (obmintro is the player instance name, i have the rtmp info in source under player parameters and it plays fine)
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;obmintro.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cp_listener);function cp_listener(eventObject:Object):void{if (eventObject.object.name == "site_end");{ obmintro.pause();
//i have also used stop, stop("obmintro"); and i don't even know what else.}}
I was just wondering whether or not actionscript cuepoints created via the default cuepointManager on a FMS stream be seen by other clients viewing the same video? For example if I were to do this: (where vidVideo is an instance of VideoDisplay in flex 3) vidVideo.cuePointManager.removeAllCuePoints(); var cuePointArr:Array = new Array(); cuePointArr.push({name:"stopClip", cuePointTime, type:"actionscript"}); vidVideo.cuePoints = cuePointArr; Will other clients viewing the same video be affected by these cue points? or are Actionscript cue points maintained only on that stream?
View 1 RepliesIs there any way to read cue points from a flv which i load intro a netstream object? I dont want to use a component.
View 1 RepliesI have built a very simple flash player using the video component and I used cue points in the flv, then I used simple buttons and find cue points code snippets to make my buttons go to a certain part of the movie. All that works very well. Now what I need to do is when a certain que point portion is playing have the button stay in a overstate and once that portion of the video is done or another button is clicked the first button return to upstate and the new portion or the new button have the overstate.
Code below
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint);
function fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint(event:MouseEvent):void {
var cuePointInstance:Object = vid.findCuePoint("ch1");
vid.seek(cuePointInstance.time);
[Code] .....
The stop button plays as expected. The play/pause button plays as expected. The issue is when you press pause which will cause the play button to appear, then press stop. the video automatically plays and it shouldn't. I have bolded the control button script for convenience.

View 1 Replieshow to get Javascript in an HTML page containing an FLV video to listen for cue points in the video? I understand how to get the cue points in, but most people only seem to want to handle the cue point events within Flash. I want to use Javascript to display a different text in a page element at each point. Does the method vary depending on what player you're using? How about when it's the standard Flash playback component? Does there need to be any special Actionscript in the SWF containing the FLV?
