Flash Video Smoothing Added - No Visible Effects
Aug 19, 2009
I have a short flv I want to play on my website. I use the below actionscript 2 code to play the video, but the anti-aliasing of text is really poor quality. I added a line to introduce "smoothing" to the video, but it appears to have no visible effect.
var my_video:Video;
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect(null);
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
my_video.attachVideo(my_ns);
my_ns.setBufferTime(2);
my_ns.play("thevideo.flv");
my_video.smoothing = true; //does nothing
Incidentally, I am exporting the flv video from aftereffects, and when I export the movie as a (larger) "lossless" quicktime movie, the movie looks perfect when played in quicktime, but has the same poor anti-aliasing when viewed in adobe media player, VLC, or mplayer.

This may be a stupid simple question. But I am unable to figure out how to edit a Transition Time Line Effect once it's been implemented. I added the effect with no problems, but I need to make some adjustments to the fade now (because I am using the Transition effect), and I cannot find the controls again.

I am converting a .MOV file from After Effects in Flash Video Converter. I have jacked the quality to 2500. Although the audio is still dodgy and the video quality is still low. One of the biggest problems is that the images scale up in AE and when they are converted and played they jitter. Very dodgy and this project needs to be crystal clear.

I am trying to create an interactive music video in After Effects and Flash. The concept is that while the music video is taking place the user can decorate the hair of the woman with any of the objects they select. There will be predetermined animations and destination spots but the user can choose whatever objects they select to be delivered to the predetermined spot. I need to figure out how to let the user to select an object that will become part of the animation. I created a PDF Roughly explaining what I am trying to do. If anyone can help me I'd be very grateful as I am more versed in After Effects, I don't know ActionScript well enough to execute what I am trying to do.
Below is a rough example of what I am trying to do. There will be a music video of an animated woman singing. As she is singing the user will be able to click any of the objects , below the numbers 1-10. Below it is illustrated that the user wants to press the blue number 2. If the user presses the 2 the 2 will animate in the mouth of a bird to a predetermined pre-animated spot. I assume I need to send a movieclip to a blank holder on the timeline and use a gotoAndPlay() action ???

I also use external videos and buttons to change them how i make sure one is unloaded from memory after another one loaded, for both codes.

I've got an animation with an embedded flv video in a graphic on my main timeline. The embedded video has been scaled down as I enlarge to its full original size later on in the animation. I've been racking my brain and looking all over the place for a possible solution but is there a way to switch smoothing to true for an embedded video? I've tried the old smoothing = true for the embedded video instance but it has no effect. Annoyingly the video is smoothed out nicely on the stage but when I create a swf the smoothing switches off.I don't want to separate the flv from the main fla for numerous reasons .

I'm playing FLV video on the stage and need to display 720x480 video, full screen on the Retina 960x640 display. I have video smoothing applied dynamically. Looks fine in ADL but when playing on iPhone4, pixelation is apparent.

When I publish my FLV video using Flash CS3 and the "SkinUnderAll" option...the player controls are not visible unless I change the height & width in the html file Flash created.But, Flash shows the height & width 3-times in the html.
Question-1: Why 3-times? What does each of the 3 Height & Width references do?
Question-2: How should I modify the code to be able to see the entire video and the player controls?
It seems if I change all 3 everything just gets bigger and bigger.
1 - I import it into Flash CS3 on a PC w/XP Pro using... File | Import | Video take all the defaults and choose "Skin Under All" as the player option.
2 - In "Properties" panel at bottom of screen Flash shows the video as 640x480
3 - I then click File | Publish to publish the video. Flash creates all my files for me.
MyVideo.fla
MyVideo.flv
MyVideo.html
MyVideo.swf
SkinUnderAll.swf
AC_RunActiveContent.js
4 - I then put the folder with the files on my website.
5 - The video plays but the player controls are not visible.
6 - I see the Height & Width referenced 3 times in the html file Flash created for me (and none are 640x480, they are 550x400 !)
7 - I try changing the 550x400 to 640x480 in all three places... no good. Even at 1000x1000 the entire player is not visible. Everything just gets larger.
What are each of the 3 references to Height and Width in the html file Flash Creates and which should I change to simply show all the player controls?

The thing is, this feels so basic, and Flash Developer Tool 3 is just giving me this nonsense error! I know, it's probably not really nonsense but... I want to create a simple video object and let it play a local flv. okay, here's the error:"call to a possible undefined method attachNetStream through through a reference with 'static' type Video"What does it means? Does it means the object Video is static, and it's not supposed to be? Or does it mean the attachNetStream is static? here's the function
Code:
private function showVideo(e:MouseEvent):void {
var videoConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

I have the problem that a video I imported in Flash is visible on my pc but not on any other. I converted the video into the flv format and dragged it onto the scene. So far so good. I created a folder which includes the main swf as well as the video in the flv format. Since this is a University project, I sent this folder to a professor and he could not see the video. I've tried it on any other pc - wouldn't work either.

I have a swf with time delays added to skip to the next part of the video.[code]Now I have another swf that loads the video into a container using the code below once a user clicks on some text.[code]The first time the user watches the clip it does PERFECT! but if a user is to click the link again half way through the video it throws all the timing completely off. You can see I tried using unloadMovie to unload anything from the frame when a user clicks the text to make sure the video wasn't playing back behind.I was wondering if it may be the fact I have.[code]for all my timed breaks (different times of course) should I rename each myInterval or something?

I am making a videoplayer for an embedded flv and I want the menu mc to appear when the mouse pointer is on the video. My problem, is that inside that mc I have 4 buttons (play, pause, stop, volume). When I make the rollOver, the menu is visible but the buttons are not clickable...
Code:
_root.menu_mc.play_btn._visible = false;
var silencio:Boolean = false;
var s:Sound = new Sound(root);
s.setVolume(100);
_root.menu_mc.onRollOver = function() {

I'm having trouble getting the Video class to work.. Everything works fine until I try to add an on enter frame event listener to the movie. I basically want to overlay an effect that gets updated every frame but adding the event listener causes the movie to freeze before it loads or on the first frame or just shortly after starting play back.. Check out the source code at [URL]
It freezes even if the enter frame method body is commented out so I don't think it's because of extra overhead..

I am having problems with the images being smooth.I have edited the code throughout with forceSmoothing = true and _quality = best.It all works and looks smooth if I test the file in the preview window and if I run the HTML file. But as soon as I put the file under IIS the smoothing stops.All my flash players are v10+ . I have turned the IIS compression off but no luck.

I'm doing a simple bkend admin using php for the client to upload images to be displayed on their flash website. ideally if they upload at the correct size, no problem, but sometimes they don't. So my problem comes in when the uploaded images are very big. When they are scaled down, the smoothing makes no difference at all.
I was wondering if there is a work around?
Code:
import flash.display.*;
loadMcListener.onLoadinit = function(){
var bitmap = new BitmapData(mc._width,mc._height,true,0x000000);

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 creating an aerial view style game with the flash player 10 built in 3D, but Some of my sprites are very small, like 32x32 pixels, and when they are placed into the 3D world they become very blurry.
Is there a way to prevent flash player from smoothing the objects?

I think that Tweener is not using fractions of pixels on x,y movement, but that exactly what I need. I read about rounded parameter (default:false), that would round pixels, to reduce problems with text, but I want to slowly pan an loaded image, so I don't want to use a rounded value. My code:
var bmp = Bitmap(loader.content);
bmp.smoothing = true;
Tweener.addTween(loader, {x: 20.0, time:10, transition:"linear"});
Image smoothing works fine, but it slides choppy. It looks like moving 1 pixel at seldom frames, not some fraction of px per frame. I'm considering that flash image smoothing has to deal with fraction of pixels. I searched over stackoverflow, and all I could find was about image smoothing, and not about x,y movement smoothing.

What I am doing now is loading a .png image with a Loader object. After loading the file I cast the loaderInfo's content to a bitmap and set the smoothing value to true. This works without a problem until I reach a ScaleX and ScaleY value less than 0.5.
For example, if I have a 1000x1000 object, scaling it down to 200x200 causes the bitmap smoothing to no longer work.[code]...

getting a bitmap to apply smoothing properly after being scaled very small.What I am doing now is loading a .png image with a Loader object. After loading the file I cast the loaderInfo's content to a bitmap and set the smoothing value to true. This works without a problem until I reach a ScaleX and ScaleY value less than 0.5.
For example, if I have a 1000x1000 object, scaling it down to 200x200 causes the bitmap smoothing to no longer work.I can reproduce the problem using all of the following Sizing methods:
Change the scaleX and scaleY properties on the bitmap. Directly change the height and width properties of the bitmap. Add the bitmap as a child of another sprite and change the scaleX and scaleY properties of the sprite. Add the bitmap as a child of another sprite and change the height and width properties of the sprite. Creating a new BitmapData object with a matrix scale and then drawing the original BitmapData onto it.I've also tried some other workarounds that I found when searching, such as:setting the scaleX of the image to 1.001 or 0.999 forcing the height and width of the Bitmap object to be even numbers.
Below is some sample code for reproducing the problem. (I am running this locally so I have a copy of testimage.png in my bin-debug folder)
public class MainObj
{
public var comp:UIComponent;
public function MainObj()
