Caption Button In FLVPlayback Skin Disappears
Feb 24, 2011
I am working in CS5/AS3 with an FLVPlayback component and a pre-made skin with some custom colors. It is a skin with the caption button included (SkinUnderAll to be exact). I'm using Timed-Text files for the caption content. The captions work just fine. All other buttons on the skin show up, but the toggle button isn't showing up.
I checked all of the linkage in the skin's FLA, checked the AS that creates the FLVPlayback and FLVPlaybackCaptioning objects. All seems fine there.
I've checked the paths and SWF locations to be sure all are in the right places.
I've also included a SKIN_LOADED event listener to get around the default captions-on issue. I'm just not seeing what the issue is. I'd prefer to not go back through my code and make a custom control panel with button components. Started this in CS3 and moved the file to CS5, so I'm not sure if there's something I overlooked in the documentation that spells this out.

Using FLVPlayback and FLVPlaybackCaptioning components with a Timed Text xml caption file. I must use a tt xml, I can't use cue points; our workflow isn't set up that way. I want to shift the screen components around to make room for the captions (which I am displaying underneath the controls). My current workaround involves a frame listener and checking if the dtCap.text != "" (then captions are on, else they are off). I am using a TT xml, with no @dur; so this works fine except...
Since the captions do not start immediately, but default to on, the video frame shifts up abruptly when the captions finally start. There must be an event or a property associated with captions being toggled On or Off; but I can't find it in the reference. I have found Adobe labs posts referencing a state of the skin itself, but they reference private variables which would require a rewrite of the FLVPlayback component. TL;DR: How do I attach an event listener to the Caption button in an FLVPlayback skin? Or what property can I reference to determine if captions are On, even if the current caption is blank?

I am creating my own skin for the FLVPlayback component. I coped an existing one, renamed it and made some changes very easily.
However, I want my player to have fewer buttons. I had a go at removing some buttons from the layout_mc but when I published I found that the buttons I had taken out were appearing in the video playback area of the stage (I'm not really surprised it didn't work because the manuels say that layout_mc isn't actually put onto the stage at runtime, its just used for working out where things will go...)
ANyway, how to I successfully delete a button such as the fast forward

I'm using Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2. I'm created a multi page training document with some pages containing videos. I have a set of XML program generated videos that work great until I use removeMovieClip(); when exiting the page. I use this to kill the video before I get the the next page.When I come back to the page the code I have regenerates the list. But when I play the videos I only get sound and no video. Sometimes the video black window appears and then immediately disappears or nothing appears but the sound starts playing.
Here are the relevant pieces of code:
import mx.video.*;

A video should be loading to the second pane of this carousel[url]...
But, on some systems, the playback controls, and the video, are not loading. When working correctly, as the swf seems to do on some systems, the video is covered by a movie clip of the first frame, and then a play button is loaded atop the image. When a user clicks the play on the skin controls or the button that has been loaded on top of the video, the image and button are moved off the stage and the video plays.[code]...

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 am trying to set a custom skin URL on an FLVPlayback object. The object is on the stage named vid. When I have the following code: vid.skin = '[URL]'; I get the following error when debugging in the CS5 IDE: Error #1014: Class fl.video::UIManager could not be found When publishing the file to an SWF it "dies" (it stops video playback) at exactly the same point. There is no error message or other indication of what happens in the browser. The flash still seems to work, it responds to ExternalInterface events. It just refuses to play the video. I'm using FLVPlayback 2.5.0.26 with Flash Pro 11.0.2.489 on Win7 64-bit.
How do I fix this? If I comment out the video.skin assignment then the video plays great (except there are no play/pause controls). But when I try to set it I get this internal Flash error. Incidentally if I assign vid.skin = 'invalid/url' then it doesn't die, instead it gives me a warning that the skin cannot be found. The valid.swf url is a copy of the MinimaFlatCustomPlayBackSeekCounterVolMuteFull.swf skin that comes with CS5.

I'm trying to insert a player on a Facebook Page tab with FBML with fb:swf. I have the following:[code]I can see the video, no problem. It plays inside a FLVPlayback component, which uses a skin (referred by /player/skinName.swf, I tried also the absolute path here). This player works perfectly everywhere else (even on an iframe Facebook application, where it's not inserted using the fb:swf tag, but with object, of course). However, I can't see the skin on the Page tab.

I want to play a video, for it I decided to use a FLVPayback with a skin, and it works very well when I test it in Flash CS4, also when i called it from my server with the "network access" only preference. But when i embeded into a html... it plays the video but the skin does´t shows up.
here is my code:
package

import fl.video.FLVPlayback;

I have an FlvPlayback skin, which works really well, except the custom button. Basically this button needs to be able to call a function in the parent movieclip (that loaded the FlvPlayback, which in turn loaded the skin).
I am not really a Flash developer, and have not found anything on Google relating to this. It seems like a simple issue, but I just do not have enough knowledge of flash.
How to call a function in the base swf which has a FlvPlayback movieclip, from a custom button in the skin file.

I need to get access to the buttons inside an flvplayback skin. After a bit of googling I've come across several solutions for AS2 but it doesn't seem to function in a similar way. I know skin_mc is a private function of the flvplayer but I can't for the life of me figure out how to access it as an object that retains its properties all I get back is a string with the path to the skin swf.d.

why FLVPlayback isn't working properly in MVC views?I think i narrowed it down to the "hard coded" skin url file not being correct. Where should I put the skin file( e.g.skinOverAllNoCaption.swf)so that flash can find it?Or are there any alternative approaches to somehow setting the skin file dynamically.

I want to separate the time_txt inside the counter_mc into two objects. One displaying just the displayheadTime and the other the totalTime. I want to do this on the skin file. What my problem is I can't seem to find the part where the text is being set at all. I am using CS5/FlvPlayback 2.5.

I've completed the Hover Caption tutorial at [URL] successfully. What I'd like to do in addition, is to resize the caption box to match the caption text's length.
I've tried giving the background box a name (box) and turning it into a button and then doing:
_root.caption.box._width = _root.caption.help.length * 8;
But the box never aligns with the text properly after that. don't know what methods to call in order to get the bottom corner of the text and bottom corner of the box and align them properly.

I am trying to learn Flash and as soon as I think I am in good shape, comes along this "curve ball". Take a look at the .FLA from this site ([URL]) How in the world do the alpha buttons get their captions? I understand the numeric ones, but alphas completely baffle me as there is no code (that I can find) that sets them. I have deleted all of the Actions, I have deleted virtually everything there is, and I still can't figure out how does the button instance appear as the caption in the text box.

I'm following this tutorial on Flash Pro CS4[url]...
I have a button. I pressed CTRL + E in this button, I clicked the 'hit' frame on the 'Text' layer and I created a new frame going in 'Insert > Timeline > frame' as said in the turorial. Like ins the image below.
But after I create a new Frame(F5), as said in the tutorial, the button disappears, like the image below.
( Btw, is this kind of question allowed in SO? This is not exactly a source code question, but in the FAQ it's written that 'software tools commonly used by programmers' questions are also allowed. I don't know if Flash Professional would be a tool commonly used by programmers but I thought wouldn't hurt asking.

i've got a function that tweens the _x and _yscale of whatever button is rolled over and a fuction to tween them back, basically grow and shrink the button. the problem is that on rollover the button completely disappears and when i rollout it reappears at the correct "grown" size and then shrinks correctly.
Code:
for(var b=1;b<=47;b++){ // works on ALL buttons
_root.map["btn"+b].onRollOver = function()
{
var bt:Tween = new Tween(this,"_yscale",

SkinParts are a great way to add event handlers and logic to an object that is instantiated in the skin, away from any business code. Often, though, I find myself wanting to do the opposite, and define parts that will be used in reusable, skinnable containers in the parent mxml files which will be inserted into the skinned containers.
What's the best practice for when you want to be able to define a control and a skin which can be reused with different controls inserted from outside the skin? Edit: A better way to put this might be that I want to use something that works a little bit like a SkinnableContainer, but that isn't limited to one area where content can be placed.

I'm using the default CS4 FLVPlayback skin, mainly the SkinOverPlayMute.swf. I know there's a skinAutoHide option, but because I don't want it to auto play, I want people to see a play button when they first encounter the video (so they don't think it's just an image). But the skin needs to hide when the video is actually playing (so the video doesn't get blocked by the controls).
In other works - when video isn't playing: skin showing; when video is playing: skin hide.
