Automatically Start Buffering, But Don't Play Until Button Is Manually Clicked?
May 25, 2009
I'm trying to accomplish two things:
1) Have an swf file automatically start buffering as soon as the webpage loads, without it also auto-playing the video.
2) Implimenting a 'youtube' style play button which will manually start the playback (regardless of how much of the video has been buffered).
P.S. I'm using CS4 if that matters. I have a pretty solid html/photoshop/video background, but flash is almost entirely new to me.
P.P.S. I'd like this to be compatible with older versions of the flash player as well, if at all possible.

I want to get the meta from an FMS server and start buffering (really I just want the first frame). Is there any way to do this other than calling play() and waiting for meta to call pause?

I am trying to play an MP3 using Actionscript 2. I have the following requirements: I don't want to wait for the MP3 to load before playing it. I want to know when enough of the MP3 has downloaded that I can start playing it. I don't want the MP3 to start playing immediately: I need to control when the play starts. An example scenario is that I need to start playing a 30-second MP3 exactly 8 seconds from now (at the top of the minute, let's say). Depending on the connection, I may or may not be able to download the entire MP3 by then, but I can almost certainly download enough to start playing without interruption.

I've been working on a video-centric project that requires a very specifically designed video player, which I've built from scratch -- no skin. Things were going great until I actually uploaded the video and SWF to my server and tried it out. Here's the issue: The video, which is an F4V that's been imported into Flash as an external asset -- I'm not using NetStream, nor am I using a Flash media server -- starts loading almost immediately. But when you use the custom-built scrubber bar to jump ahead in the video, it freezes up until, I presume, the video has loaded to that point, at which time the video starts again. If you open the SWF and let it sit for a few minutes, this isn't an issue -- you can jump back and forth as much as you want.
So clearly the problem here is that the video is loading from the beginning and the user can only get to a certain frame when that frame has already been loaded. But it must be possible to start loading from a specified point, right? After all, the video doesn't load all together and become available only when the whole thing is done. It starts loading at 0:00 and continues progressively. I just want to change where it starts loading by telling it not only to play at that point but to start loading at that point, too.

Pretend a button is selected - when that button is selected it goes to the active frame which shows that the button is selected. When you click another button it currently resets itself - BUT - I want it to go to and play frame "mouse_out" and than reset itself. Below is the code I am currently working wtih:

I have a music player playing a live radio stream. Everytime the player loads the radio stream, it has a stutter start and then it buffers for a few seconds (how long depends on your internet connection speed) and then it continues playing. I want a buffering icon to appear during this brief buffering period. Watching the sound.position, I see that its increasing pauses at approximately the 0.4 second mark when the stream buffers.
When buffering finished it continues counting up to infinity as the stream plays. I thought maybe it would be possible to write an IF statement saying if the current sound.position is equal to what it was a second or split-second ago (i.e., it's not increasing, the stream is stopped for buffering), display the buffering icon. But I don't know how to write this IF statement.

I am trying to use Flex Video Display as a preview player. The player is streaming the video from the server.While The buffering is not complete, if we try to drag the play head to an area beyond buffered region, the player will drag the playhead back to the current playing position. I need to implement the player like you tube video player which allows to drag to anywhere in the track even when data is not fully buffered.Is there a way for doing this.

I have bought a flash template in which I want to incorporate into another movie but I need to remove the preloader and button control. So in other words as soon as I preview it, it should play automatically without first seeing a preloader or having to click on a button to play the movie.

On looking into buttons, I understand that to get a movie clip to play when a button is clicked you simply place the movie clip on the buttons 'hit' state. Having done this it does not work? Have I read wrong? Also the movie clip has a background the full size of the stage area. So when I attach this to the button, the button changes size to the same size as the movie? (i.e. whole stage area). How do I keep the button in it's original size while still playing the movie clip with large background?

I have been searching for a way to do this for about 3 days but I have come to no conclusion. I need to find a way to get an animation playing when a button is clicked. It is a little more complicated so let me try and explain. I have an animation of two doors opening and closing. From frame 35 - 65 the doors open, on frame 65 I have text, then from 66 - 96 the doors close. Now my problem comes when I want to change pages. I need the animation on frames 66 - 96 to start playing when any other button is clicke except for the one that opens that page. I have the delay on the buttons and it is working fine but i have no idea how to test if the other buttons are clicked.

All I want, is to have a button (play_but) to start the process. I want to get rid of the enter frame business. I tried, but I had to click every time the button to draw the line. I just want to click the button once and have my line plotted.
var xspeed:Number = 2;
var yspeed:Number = -2;
var xpos:Number = 0;
var ypos:Number = stage.stageHeight;

I'm a flash beginner and I've been having alot of trouble figuring out how to make a button which can be controlled with the keyboard as well as the mouse and plays a sound when clicked but when the button is released the sound instantly stops. What I'm going for is a piano application, I made the button, I know how to create keyboard events with listeners and make the different button states up and down but I don't know how to control the button with the keyboard and play sound when the button is clicked but stop the sound when the button is released.
Also I'd like to have it where the space bar will cancel whatever makes the sound stop so it just rings out until the sound clip ends. Can someone explain to me how to do this, remember I'm a beginner so please explain everything.

I've got an intro for a movie,and a single button appears around frame 58,and I've tried giving it a function so it will skip to fram 478 and play the whole movie from there on:
PlayCompl_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay(478);
}
but it keeps saying "statement must appear within handler" and I've got the same problem when the movie reaches frame 477 I want it to go back to frame 58 and play from there so it would loop all until the button is clicked:
PlayCompl_btn.onEnterFrame = function() {
gotoAndPlay(58);
};

i have looked everywhere for a tutorial on this - i have tried writing, and re-writing codes....i just cant get it. is there any tutorial i overlooked? here is what im looking to do - NO SHORTCUTS: have my main file that loads the buttons, my external swf container, my intro animations, and my swf "out" and "in" animations when a button is clicked i want it to point me to specific frame labels. i will have an "out" and "in" frame label and which will be the locations of the transitional starting points i want it to play the "out" transition, than unload the current swf, than play the in transition, than load the swf of the button that was clicked i want the animations to all be done using frame labels all within the MAIN swf file.... i have had no luck doing this....and i do NOT like the tween class....

Normally, I want the movie to play the tween that spans from 25 to 35, then stop UNLESS a button has been clicked back on frame 24 - then I want the tween played from 25 to 35 then jump to 46.Problem is, in the button function code, if I have...gotoAndPlay(25); gotoAndPlay(46);the timeline jumps straight to 46 - it doesn't play 25-35. Why?I tried putting a timer in between the two gotoAndPlays, but itignored that too and jumped to 46.o how do I tell it - 'play from 25-35 and stop, unless but_a was pressed back on Frame 24 - then play 25-35, and then play 46' ?

What does the code look like if I want the user to click two specific buttons then go to a new frame. I've been trying different methods, but I am honestly not brilliant with conditional statements. This is what I've got so far...
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickAbout);
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickMain);
if (function clickMain(event) && function clickAbout(event))

i made a little buffer script for dynamically loaded mp3s. it's supposed to play the file after 20% is loaded (these files are a couple of MB). anyway, it doesn't play after it's buffered to the 20%. works when i just test movie in flash. doesn't work when i test "streaming" in flash. here's my buff script, etc. let me know if you need anymore info...

I have a long mp3 file hosted on a standard apache server (30 minutes long so far, but I would like it to work with longer sounds too).I'd like to start playback of this audio within at a specified point. When attempting to use Flash Actionscript 3, my basic tests show that ALL the audio from the start to the position I choose is buffered before playback (Sound.bytesLoaded was my friend here). If I start one second in, it takes about 3 seconds to start playback, 30 seconds in, takes about 25 secondsObviously with a really long mp3, like skipping playback to the middle of a 3-hour audiobook, this isn't going to be practical.Here's the ActionScript 3.0 code I'm using:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function():void {
var s:Sound = new Sound();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://example.com/audio.mp3");

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.
