Dynamic Overlay On A Flash Video
Nov 22, 2010
I want to make some online courses in video format. I am wondering whether it is possible and what the best work flow and tools are for achieving the following. Once I have a video in Flash format (.flv) I grant users access to it via a login-in. At that point I want the user name to be overlaid to the video. This is to deter fraudulent exchange of the video (only the ones who paid for it should watch it). I am baffled by what I found in the internet. I looked at JavaFX, swfmill, SWFTools, MTASC, Ming library, haXe, FlashDevelop, Flex SDK... It is not clear to me:
- If what I want to achieve is possible (overlay the user name to the video).
- What the right work flow is.
- What the right tool is (the simplest and possibly free).

I have seen loads of cool sites with video that have an overlay of dots sitting over the video. I guess this is in part for a design aesthetic, and the other to reduce the visible amount of pixellation from the compression.Can anyone tell me how to create this sort of effect dynamically, or am i going to have to duplicate a million movieclips? And if i do, will this affect performance?

It's with a Flash overlay that has been custom made to overlap a .flv video running in Flowplayer (open source video player at flowplayer.org) The Flash overlay is mostly transparent and just includes a few buttons over top the video to allow visitors to share, email and visit a related website. Take a look here for example:[URL]
The video and Flash buttons work fine when videos are played within Flowplayer at normal size in the browser, but when making it fullscreen using Flowplayer, the Flash overlay plugin does not resize to fullscreen with it. Then, when made regular size again it gets distorted, as you can see from the example.
I know it might involve creating a custom onResize() function, but I haven't figured this out yet with Flowplayer. There are vague instructions & snippets of code here under "Layout management" section on flowplayer . org/documentation/developer/writing-flash-plugins.html
Code:
override public function onResize():void {
/*
set _childButton width according to my new width,
[Code]....
Interesting, but doesn't tell me much of what to do. I have a feeling it might involve making a new .as class in Flash and associating it to the custom buttons overlay .swf. On the right track?
get the overlay to resize using onResize and what code should be used would be very helpful. Others may be also trying to make custom overlay plugins too, and the fullscreen issue would be the next step to know after that and make it look more complete.

We'll be streaming a live basketball event next month and we always get asked about showing the game clock with the video.We have two cameras one can capture the game and the other capture the game clock. Is there a way to overlay the game clock video on top of the game video? Has anyone done any similar sporting events that can offer any suggestions and/or best practices?This will be our first live Flash Streaming event, we've used Windows Media in the past and just switched to Flash Interactive Media Server 3.5

how to overlay a picture/watermark onto live stream published from a client? (like TV stations do).Can this be encoded into the stream in realtime by FMS so client could not record/view a clear stream? (for example overlay watermark for non-paid subscribers).I don't want to do this on client side because then someone can build custom app to play a stream without the overlay. Or is FMS4's SWF Verification so good, that I don't need to be worried?

i have an swf placed into a html doc - the swf creates thumbnails and links that create a sort of videowall effect - the links come via xml. i am using lightwindow to create an overlay that displays the links/images/video etc... so here is the problem - if i open it with firefox on a mac - and choose say the youtube link - it opens lightwindow brings in the flv briefly - then the flv vanishes leaving a white void where the player should.
but if i add the same link to the html and click it, that works as it should do - ie the youtube flv apprears and you can click and play it etc... Safari on a mac works a treat - and loads and then plays the flv. is this just a bug in FF for the mac - or mac&pc? doesn't FF like flash and youtube together or something? or is there a work around? my tester is here could any pc heads tell me if the lightwindow works at all on their windows browsers? and tell me what versions you are on?

I'm having trouble displaying a overlay div saying "Please wait..." on top of a flash movie, even with absolute positioning and z-index highier than the flash movie itself. But the overlay div is still behing the flash movie. Why is that? I think it's something to do with embed/param tags but I'm not sure? Here's the code:

I've got a div over an iframe, in the iframe there's a website that contains a youtube movie. On mac firefox and safari everytyhing works fine, on windows both IE and FF put flash on top of my div.
The situation I have is really similar to google image interface, I noticed that google images manages to correctly overly an immage over a website with flash content in any browser both win and mac.
How they manage to do that? Considering they have no access to iframed page code. I tried reading their code to find solution with no success.

usually it can be solved with the "wmode transparent" param, but in firefox i have a strange problem. when i overlay a flash element with a part of a div the div renders strange (like stairs at the border of the flash element)
[URL]
the grey area (and a small transparent area above) is the flash element. the outline is the div with a border.
the error occurs only on FF (i have 3.6) chrome/safari works fine...
CODE:
its an swfobject implementation. the overlaying div/ul is positioned after the
flash-wrapper.
<div id="flash-wrapper">
<object width="740" height="500" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
[Code].....

how we can create an overlay in flash?
I want a case where user clicks something in the flash file, I want to check if he is logged in, if he is not then give him a login screen on top of whatever he was viewing in the flash file. Once the login screen is displayed, he should not be able to do anything in the background - only when the login credentials are verified, will he be able to do anything behind this overlay.
I don't want to go to a different frame, I want to show a screen on top of the current screen being viewed by the user.

Overlay blending mode in flash on trasnaprent, imported images, doesn't work properly! It leaves dimmed black background instead of transparency. Same thing is in CS4 and in CS5. What is even more weird is that in Flash preview stage window everything is fine, and it works, but after publishing the SWF, you can see black background.I looked for workaround that...no success. No one answeres to this question.
-I tried with 24png, 8png, gif with different settings. No success.
-Tried also with After Effects, and then export to SWF, it works surprisingly.

flash, actionscript, and the class/method/static/instance paradigm. I do have one class that I use, it loads a png file and adds it to the stage, I can then manipulate it with the mouse. What I want to do is add some text on top of the png file. When the user clicks and drags the png file around, I want the text to stick with it, basically make it part of the png, overlay it, combine them, group them, whatever.Here is the class I am using to load the png.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;

We have a flash object and when we use blockUI or some other overlay div with opacity < 1, it doesn't make the flash area transparent. However, it do hides the flash object when opacity is 1, but I want to have the overly div transparent which make the flash area transparent too like it doing for other HTML objects.
Here is the code expert:
[Code]....
For overlay div we are using jQuery.blockUI and FancyBox (when we need to some popup and block the UI). We also tried to overlay the flash object using a div with z-index. It overlays and hides the flash when opacity is 1 but not when it's < 1.
Here is the screen shot:

I am using Google's Audio player to play an MP3 on a webpage. My issue is that I am overlaying an image on top of the the play/pause button. Yet when the image is clicked nothing happens. Here is the code:
<div class="center" style="width: 400px; z-index:1; visibility:hidden;">
<embed wmode="transparent" width="400" height="27"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl=/sourcefile.mp3"
[Code]....
That did not work. One thing I noticed is if I have visibility:hidden; the flash player will not respoind to any clicks regardless of what is over it. With that said I attempted to overlay the image using <input> without the visibility:hidden; and it still did not work.
I need to get this fixed if at all possible. I am willing to use another flash player that is similar as long as it works correctly and will use an mp3 like above.

I am doing an overlay flash banner which sits on top of a flash site. Within the overlay banner I have a moveclip called 'imageHolder' which needs to call the same image thats in the flash site.
I have this code which allows me to directly control the movieclip in the flash site from within the flash banner. var img:MovieClip = takeoverContainer.getImage();
img._scaleX = 0.25; (for example) The problem here is I only want to copy the movieclip so I can see the same image in my banner as I do the Flash site, I do not want to manipulate the main flash site in anyway.
COuld anybody write me a piece of code that will duplicate/mirror the moveclip in the main flash site inside a movieclip within my flash banner so I can see the same image?
(From a creative perspective 'imageholder' is a smaller version of the image which is animated over the top of the main flash site) I am happy to pay for an hours work if somebody could help (via paypal if you like). I am in desperate need

is it possible to let clicks on a HTML element that's overlaying a Flash or Silverlight object bubble through to the Flash / Silverlight object? I've been experimenting with this, but i can't figure out if it is even possible because of possible security restrictions to prevent clickjacking.I don't have access to the source code to the FL / SL object, so i can't implement an ExternalInterface or something like that.

I recently got a project in which i have create a whole set of flash animations and then convert them into video to be put on dvd. Now since they are going to be put on dvd's so there is not going to be any user interaction but a continuous playing stream.
I was thinking of putting all the texts into xml files and then calling them in the flash file but if i will have to convert them into video file then will the video file work the same way as the flash file?

I'm attempting to create a flash ad banner (728x90 leaderboard) which, when clicked on, loads a new frame that expands to fill the view port with a 6 page flash form. I'm not sure how I would go about loading a whole new window off of a banner which has already been predefined to a stage size of 728x90. I understand that if it were an expandable - I could merely make the stage larger, and knock out the transparency within the html/css. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do, but it was done with css/js, [URL]
