How do I use Flash to take the existing flv file and turn it into an swf file that can be viewed on my web server (without also uploading any flv or fla files along with it) I obviously (and desperately) need to learn and understand Flash. I have an avi file that I converted to an flv file using Corel Video Studio. Now I need to turn that flv into an swf file (since my web host does not support flv files).
So my best guess was that I should open a new Flash document, and then Import the flv video. Doing that produces a wizard that asks me to point to that file. That's simple enough. The next step - Deployment - I am unsure about, but I selected the default (Progressive Download from Web Server). I accepted the default on the Skinning page as well, and then the next (and final) page of the wizard -Finish Video Import - has a bunch of Flash-centric information that I do not really understand as I feel that I probably should.
But I acepted the defaults and clicked on Finish, and then it asks me to save the file, as an fla file .So, then I'm back to the Flash document, and I am now guessing (?!?) that I need to Export the movie.So, I Export the movie, and it gives me the swf file extension (which causes me to think that I'm on the right track).Next I get the Export Flash Player box. Since I have no idea about any of the options it offers, I just accepted the defaults and click OK.Ok so far, as this bit of guesswork actually produces an swf movie file on my local drive which actually and successfully plays the video on my computer.
Unfortunately, that is the only victory in this tale, as it seems that I am unable to reproduce that success when I upload it to my web host server.I created a webpage with the object and embed tags which I took word-for-word from W3C (and I've had success with similar pages using links to youTube videos) but when this webpage loads using the link to the swf file that I uploaded onto my hosted site, I get a blank page.
Well as the title says I need to create an Play/Pause button in one. So when I click on the button it plays my animation, then when I click on it again it pauses it. And then when I click on it again it plays the animation where it was. etc. etc.
I know how to create a simple button and give it an event and an function, but I cant figure out how to get those 2 functions together in one?
I have made a button by creating a new symbol naming it and setting it as a button. Then I have edited the four frames to my liking. Then I added it to a layer on my timeline by dragging it from the library.
I have looked at other tutorials on youtube and such, but all the code etc doesnt seem to work. I use Flash CS5.Once I have created the button, what should I do to make it stop the animation at the beggining, and play when it is pressed.
how to create a button to pause/play a FLV?I have an FLV with cue points (using the FLVPlayback component). The cue points are controlling when graphics are added to some empty movieclips on the stage. The FLVPlayback component skins would work but they are hidden by graphics on higher layers.I'm using CS4, Flash Player 8 and AS 2.0.
I've surfed through the Internet and can hardly find any tutorial on how to make a slideshow auto play.S3 tell me the syntax of loop play of a slideshow?
I am trying to basically have a loop that is based on a string length. It adds a movie clip for every letter and a hidden rollover button. All this seems to be working fine but I am having trouble wrapping my head around how to code the event listeners or it might be how I'm telling it which movie to play. As of now all the buttons play the last mc which is block6. What do I need to do differently?

I am trying to create a code to have a "play" button on the middle of the screen that disappears after clicking and at the same time have a play/pause/runtime toolbar on bottom that appears only oh hover. My video is in .swf and .flv and can be converted to whatever's necessary for FLash CS4. There is a downloadable file "example" on this board (http:url....)which accomplishes exactly what I'm searching for.I couldn't attach the example file to this message as Adobe blocks some of their own file types.(don't know why)I tried to embed my video into this code but have failed.
I'm trying to create a rotating tab on a timer. [URL] Something like that. Is there any way to create something in flash so that typically, the above sequence will just loop but visitors to my site will have the option of clicking and viewing one individual tab?
Bit new to this and have been searching the adobe forums and google. I am trying to create a button that will play an imported MovieClip.I have a movie clip that I've imported into it's own layer (Layer1) Frame 1 I've given the MovieClip an instance name offoundationMovie.I've created a button and have that on its own layer(Layer2) above layer1, it is also in Frame 1.I've added a top (); action to layer2The video is not set to autoplay.I want the video to start playing when the viewer clicks the button. I know I've got to put some kind of event listener using AS3 in my timeline somewhere.I've found some code and I've been trying to work with it. I'm sure I've mutilated it beyond usability but this is what I've got.

I am trying to create a video player with a play list. I attempted to follow the tutorial at UrL...but couldn't get my customized player to work. I have a feeling there is something that needs to be tweeked with my AS but I'm not really sure because I am not a big programmer (more of a designer).URL...[code]
I make a flash movie. I want to create a progress bar with custom play head that when we drag it, the swf file will adjust appropriate position, similar to the progress bar in comman media players. My main swf file has about 2000 frames
I saw this tutorial and it works great in actionscript 3.0 on its own - http:[url].... .But does anyone know to make something like this in actionscript 2.0? The reason being is my main site was created in 2.0 and cannot publish it in 3.0.
I'd like to create a stopwatch that starts at 00:00 when a play button is pressed, and then stops whenever the stop button is pressed. After the stop button is pressed, I would like the time to be displayed on the next frame, and say something like "You pressed the stop button in x". I'm using flash CS3...so actionscript 2.
I'm looking to create a solution that will enable me to have a folder of AVI files on a USB drive, packaged along with a custom designed player (probably built in Flash). I would like to creare the packaged flash file in a way that will autorun on inserting the drive if at all possible. The solution will need to be platform agnostic (hence my thinking that Flash would be the best bet). Has anyone come across a tutorial for achieving anything even similar to the above?
How do I make the playing of my swf go in reverse when the reverse button is clicked? What I want is to have my timeline play in reverse and stop at the previous stop();I have a previous button already set up, but it does not work.[code]
I'm trying to create an flv player to play a single video from a website. I can't seem to resize the playback window. Altering the width just seems to move the same small window around the screen.
Ideally I'd like it to go full-screen or at least fill the browser window. However, I don't even seem to have basic control at the moment. What am I doing wrong here?
Also, (and maybe this is related), I couldn't import fl.video.* in Flex Builder without placing the component first in my library resource using Flash. Is it possible to bypass this step and import directly in Flex Builder?
I'm trying to create an animation which involves play and pause buttons, i've tried following the tutorial but because my animation is on many different layers it won't work.
I'm trying (and failing it seems) to teach myself Action script and I'm having a really tough time with what I'm sure is something that quite easy to do. Basically I have one button. When this button is pressed I'd like it play a movie. When the button is pressed again I'd like to stop playing the movie. In the first frame of the movie I've put a stop action so that it doesn;t repeat itself when it finishes playing. In the last frame of the movie I've put gotoAndStop(2);In my main timeline I have 2 layers each of which has one frame. The button is one layer and the movie on the other.
I selected the button on the stage and gave it the actionscript on (press){ gotoAndPlay("vcsound_mc.play(2)");
I'm trying to create flash rollovers for buttons that play the full rollover animation even if you roll of it, and if you stay on it if will play once and not keep repeating. The rollover animation is only short, about 2 seconds, but which ever way I try it I can't get it to play the full clip if you roll off, either that or it will play the full clip but keep repeating if you keep the mouse on it.
At the moment it is just a movieclip in a rollover keyframe of a button.This has stumped me for years. Other sites seem to do it fine (off the top of my head the 4 menu rollovers at the bottom of http:[url].... do it - if you rollover each one left to right in one go they do a kind of Mexican wave) but I just can't see a way of doing it.
I'm looking to create a music player where one can upload songs from any computer on the web and play them back... is this possible and if so how would I go about creating it?
