IDE :: FLVPlayer_Progressive AutoPlay = False - How To Start With Javascript
May 29, 2009
I am trying to start a FLV movie that is using the flash stock FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf movie.. i don't want it to play on page load, but rather when the user clicks something. is there any way to do this with javascript?
I'm wondering what my best option is to delay the loading/playing of a movie that is set to autoplay?The videos are all external if that matters; is there any kind of code I can fire within a javascript function once I want it to start?
I have a webpage with a video component (swf file) with a separate .flv file and skin. The .flv file is intended to progressively load from the webserver.
In the swf file I have set autoplay=false to stop the move playing when the page is loaded. This works fine.
However, the problem is that the movie still downloads in the background. i.e. Each time the page is loaded, the .flv file is being loaded.
Is there a way to stop the .flv file being loaded until the Play button is pressed in the player?
My nav buttons load each a swf file through a holder. One off the external swf's is a gallery with autoplay. When going from the one nav button through the other after a few times when returning to the gallery (with autoplay) the gallery starts to flicker. When reloading it's not always the first pic that is playing. It's like this is still in the memory only you can't see it when loading another swf file.
is there a simple way to just pull back a true or false value from an associated javascript file to a flash file? here is what i have:
Code: var bincheck:Boolean = fscommand("eval", "parent.check_bins(\'"+img+"\')"); if (!bincheck){return false;} return true;
check_bins(img) is a function in my javascript file that simply iterates through an array, returning false if "img" is found. im simply trying to get the true or false value back into flash, but its not proving that simple. i added a couple alerts so that i could see what the "bincheck" value was, and i keep getting an 'undefined' value for "bincheck" in flash.
I am planning to build a web application highly based on Google Maps API. I am considering either using the Javascript version, or the Flash version. I would like to create an interface which will be quite rich. Should I go for JS version of the API or Flash one? Also I do not plan to purchase Flex Builder, so ideally I would like to use some free Flex SDK that supports ActionScript. What would you recommend? Is it more reasonable to use JS or maybe better use the Flash Version. What are the limitations, pros and cons?
We currently have a corporate intranet built with ASP.NET and originally designed for IE. One of the purposes of the intranet is to manage file versioning and to launch programs with the current file version. This requires the intranet to start processes on the machine locally, and is done using ActiveX.
We are now reworking the intranet to be as browser-neutral as possible, but this local application launching thing has us stumped. Can anyone suggest a browser-neutral way to start processes locally? This is strictly for internal use on a corporate LAN with computers that are authenticated on a Windows domain.
Possibilities that we've floated, in rough order of preference:

Anyone have any thoughts on what is likely to work and be not a huge PITA to implement?
I am trying to display database details in a Flex datagrid and connected using HTTP Service. It was able to display details without any issue when I was working in the FlashBuilder 4.5, however, I deployed the bin-debug part in the Tomcat webserver to access it globally.
I am experiencing this error message when I am trying to access the swf file "HTTP request error Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032"]. URL: http://localhost:8084/UA/details.jsp"
I tried to create the crossdomain.xml file and deployed in the root directory but still experiencing the same error.Here is my crossdomain.xml :

Anyways I have my main page that has a picture on it, then if you hover your mouse over the right edge of this image a tranparent window pops up with scrolling pictures that move in the direction of your mouse movement.
How can I have this scroll bar stay on always? I am looking thru the code but cant figure out exactly what code to put where to have this popup open when this page opens.
I'm having an issue with making a flash movie autoplay when a user enters a website. I am viewing the html in dreamweaver and I have autoplay selected. The website is [URL]
I use this code to show YOUTUBE videos in my flash[code]...
But at the moment I load the video I want it to play, I dont know hoy to implement de AUTOPLAY, or how to play video without clicking on the actual video
My flash site wont autostart when you enter the website, you have to manually right-clicky and press "Play" to start the site even tho it has been specified in the html file with the 'play', 'true', param. Here's some of the html file:
i have a site and in the home page i have an embedded youtube video, the div that is containing the player is initially hidden (display:none),so, when a button(video) is clicked, i hide the content of the page and show the youtube player, all works ok, but i would love that when the button(video) is clicked, the player shows up and start to reproduce the video automatically, but i've faild in each attempt, i'm using a code that i find in other web and made some changes
swfobject.addLoadEvent( ytplayer_render_player ); function ytplayer_render_player( ) {[code]....
i've post the entire code i'm using, so, how can i make autoplay here,
I was wondering if there was a way to make the XML Flash Slideshow begin playing once it loads and to possibly have a pause feature. I saw this asked in another thread but there was no response to it.
how to turn the autoplay off. I searched around the forums for about 15 minutes, but any mention of autoplay didn't seem to answer the question. For example I found someone who had a subject relating to autoplay and they started the bit by saying "So I turned autoplay off" but never explained how.
I've currently made a slideshow. I'm able to switch images in the slideshow with back and next buttons, however, I want it to autoplay properly. I've found a script that seems to work, but it switches images very rapidly.I want each image to stay on screen for 3 seconds before it changes.Here's the script i'm using
function updateFrame (inc) { // send slides to new frame newFrame = _root._currentFrame + inc; _root.gotoAndStop(newFrame); updateStatus();
The video performance I get from the built in FLV video is pretty poor. I'm considering using a StageWebView to display a HTML5 page with a standard <video> in it.
The video shows up and (if I enable controls) can be played and it looks great (much better than FLV). The only issue is I cannot find a way to have the video autoplay once the StageWebView is loaded.
I've set the <video .... autoplay> parameter. I've also tried using JavaScript to send a video.play() (after the window load event is complete and the DOM is ready).
I can't wait for AIR3.0 so we can just use StageVideo.. But for now I'm using AIR2.7 via Flash CS5.5 publishing for an iPad2 via AIR for iOS.
I have an AS3.0 XML flv player that uses a flv component skin/controls. Everything works great, but now the client wants it so that when ever the movie stops to buffer, it automatically starts playing again. Right now, I guess if it has to stop and buffer, you have to hit play to start it again.
