I'm have a flash movie where I let the viewer push a button to load an external SWF-which in itself is a video I converted to SWF. Once it loads via an empty movie clip into the main flash movie how can I add video player controls such as volume on the lower part of the stage of the main movie to control the externally loaded SWF?
View 1 RepliesI followed a tutorial on youtube on how to make a custom flash player but the guy never uploaded continuing videos. Here's the link to the video: [URL]...So all I have now is a 3.0 Action Script file with a layer that has this code in it:
//Vars
var video:Video;
var netCon:NetConnection;
var stream:NetStream;
[Code]...
I have a video player that plays videos loaded via XML and selected using a combbox. I just got the play and pause buttons to work. What I'm attempting to do now is be able to hit next or previous buttons and select the next or pevious video from the XML file, and update the displayed/selected file in the combobox, my thought was to somehow set the previous/next buttons to directly manipulate the combobox, but nothing I've tried so far has worked.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.data.DataProvider;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
[code]....
I'm sure this is a simple thing but I haven't been able to find out out to associate an absolute link with video controls.
View 1 RepliesI have a six minute video loading into my flash project. It is too large to import directly into the timeline. I want to display graphics and text underneath at key points and have considered using a timer to tell the graphics when to become in/visible. I'm sure there is a bettere way of doing it than the code I have below, as the timer will start on frame enter won't it and if the video takes a while to load the timer will be out of sync. I'm guessing I should be preloading the video anyway but not quite sure how to do it.
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(15000, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, blah);
timer.start();
var timer2:Timer = new Timer(20000, 1);
timer2.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, blah2);

View 1 RepliesIs there any way I can create a slider on my desktop to access some of the controls of the YouTube Video player like volume, pause, play, playback speed? I know it is a flash player, but would this involve accessing the YouTube API or something else? For example, I'd like to program something similar to what's provided by the Enounce MySpeed application (control over play back speed).

I'am looking for a flv/video player which allow to seek for not loaded part of the video,just like on youtube.
View 1 RepliesI'm porting in an .flv to Flash for the first time. I created the .flv from an .MP4 using Media Encoder CS5, and then opened a new Actionscript 3 .fla in Flash Professional CS5, clicked File > Import > Import Video. Then selected 'Load external video with playback component'. Everything seems to have imported fine, but when I publish the SWF and import it via Dreamweaver CS5 and preview the page, the video is there, but the controls are not. There's just a white box where the controls should be. Also, the video is out of sync with the audio, which I believe is a problem with Media Encoder, not Flash.
Here are some links:

I am building a flash video player with a custom UI, and admittedly I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing. I tried altering a skin, but that always comes out wonky due to whatever coding they use. So I'm altering single video components and putting them in the mc what I want them. It looks great, but the problem is that when video goes to full screen, all of the controls dissappear and I can't figure out how to make them show up. How do I get a movie clip to display on top of the video when it goes to full screen in flash AS3?
View 1 RepliesWhile the question may seem fairly basic I seem to be at a loss to actually find anything that fits my needs, which are:
Skinnable (although not 100% required) Controllable through javascript (start, stop, change track)Event triggers for custom functions (on track finish mainly) Actual documentation - rather that 'it can do this, but we wont tell you how' I've tried many of the free and quite a few demo's of the pay for ones. Wimpy Wasp seemed to be the closest to what I need but there is an obsession there with using a custom Windows app to set it up which is impossible as the files are provided dynamically by the sites users and it doesn't look like they want you to be able to create the code yourself.
I have started creating a movie trailer in Flash Professional cs5.5. I need to add player controls that will show up when I publish the file. I do not want to have to convert to an FLV file in order to use FLVPlayer Component. My published SWF file now is 3mbs - converting to FLV turns it into 100mbs!

Is there a way to hide the controls on a flash video (flv) until the user scrolls over the video? So the page opens, the video starts playing (still no controls visable) and then when a user scrolls over the video, you then see the controls for the first time. I have searched high and low.

View 4 RepliesI need to access and stream flash video stored on a US server. I do so from one of three PCs - all running Windows 7, all with same updates and same version of Flash. Two of them show a given video fine. The third runs the same video but it is clearly truncated on the right and bottom - that is, only part (top left two thirds?) of the video is visible. And two show timecode and the third...doesn't (or its hidden by the truncation). But how can this be? And more importantly, what can I do to make the third PC play streaming video correctly?

Im working on a video player, and I have a button for full screen, which function properly, however, the controls that surround it are stretched with the video when full screen is active. So I've been attempting to find ways to detect when fullscreen is active to change the controls, but nothing seems to work. I've used both FullScreenEvent and Event.RESIZE. Everytime, it can detect when it goes full screen (aka a black box is placed on the stage) but when i go back to normal screen, it doesnt detect that activity (and the black box remains).
Please see code below. I am trying to do this all inside a class which i will have an instance of on the main stage.
Code:
import flash.display.*
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.events.FullScreenEvent;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;

In Flash, I can go into the properties of an image in the library and check 'allow smoothing' to enable resampling when the image is scaled or rotated.
How can I achieve the same effect for images loaded dynamically by the SWF from an external URL?
I'm loading an swf say "test.swf" which gets loaded in imageLoader , so I can get its content by :
imageLoader.content
So if I wanted one of the movieClips inside it I would do this :
imageLoader.content.testMovie.transform.colorTransform = someTransformation;
But when I do this, since the movie is not loaded the file is not compiled and gives me an error your referring to something that is not there. How else am I supposed to reference a content that will be loaded later?
I´m having troubble positioning an externally loaded swf. It simply does not respond to any settings of its x and y values.
The swf I´m loading is a pure as3 project created in FlashDevelop where the main class extends sprite. I´ve even tried modifying the x and y values afterwards using MonsterDebugger but with no luck.
The swf is loaded into a container on the right side of the stage but always end up at the top left corner. The loading is straight forward:
public var targetContainer:Sprite;
public function load(path:string):void {
loader = new Loader();
[Code]....
I am trying to figure out how to get the actual filename of an external .swf when loaded into another movie clip.
Code: var toTrace:String = getChildAt(0).name; trace(toTrace); That is what I have. It gives me the instance name, which does me no good, because it is a relative instance name. My situation is that I have a few buttons, when clicked they load external .swf into the stage at index 0. I need to know how to reference the currently loaded external file.
Is there a standard set of JavaScript controls for controlling a flash video created with swfobject?
I'm using Akamai Multi Player and I'm trying to find a JS control to seek the video when it loads.
I've got a class (which extends MovieClip) that loads in an external SWF (made in pdf2swf). That is added to another class which has declared doubleClickEnabled = true and I'm listening for DOUBLE_CLICK events.Problem is when the SWF is loaded my code picks up no DOUBLE_CLICK events, only CLICK events. I've tried it without adding the SWF to the stage and it does pick up DOUBLE_CLICK events.
class ParentClass{
...
public function ParentClass(){
...
mcToLoadSWF = new MovieClip();
[code]...
I've also tried adding the event listener to the mcToLoadSWF as well. No dice.
in Chrome on Mac and in Chrome, Opera and Safari on PC, it appears to be playing sounds twice, generating an unwanted echo-effect with a rather random delay(always under half a second though).
I have 2 swf-files that communictes through a LocalConnection, the main swf simply calls a function on the second swf and passing a url to an mp3-file as parameter. The second swf then loads the file and onComplete plays it.
This works perfectly on IE(that's a first) and Firefox on both mac and PC but echoes as mentioned above.
I even implemented a double-check to make sure a sound wouldn't play if a sound is already playing.
Some sample code:
var audio:Sound;
var isPlayingSound:Boolean = false;
var soundURL:String;

I have a document class which links to several classes, one of which adds a container onto the stage and loads external .swf's into it.Q: How do I access the various classes loaded in the document class from the external swf timeline?For instance, when you click a button in the loaded swf it changes the soundtrack from the soundtrack class. I have tried dispatchevent from the external swf timeline, but I still can't seem to get it to work. Is this supposed to work, or should I be doing something different?
