View 1 RepliesEmbedded a few FLV movies in my flash SWF and they appear ok and play back properly when I test the movie from within flash (CNTRL + ENTER) or just run the generated SWF file i can see the playback controls fine.
But when i put that flash movie into a HTML file and preview it, the playback controls are nowhere to be seen. I have a strong feeling it has something to do with the location of the playback skin in relation to the movie or html file (but i have copied the skins like 10 times and pasted them into every level of my website and I still cannot see the playback controls!
I have an FLV Playback component in a website that I'm working on and for some odd reason the controls do not work. The video loads and plays fine and the controls appear but you cant click on anything like you can when you assign the skin in the parameters. It is a default Flash skin. At first I thought it was due to the video layer being under a mask, so I moved it on top and it didnt change anything.
View 1 RepliesI used the new FLVPlayback component to progressively download a flv video. When I test the movie locally it works fine, but when I embed the flash into a html page then upload all the materials (html, main swf, flv video and skin swf) the video plays but the playback controls are missing.
View 5 RepliesI took a .flv and placed it in a .swf in Flash Professional CS5 (for smoother playback on my website), and I used Dreamweaver to embed the .swf on one of my webpages. The video plays back fine, but there are no playback controls. In Dreamweaver, I set "PLAY" and "LOOP" to false, so in order to play my video, I have to right-click it and press "Play." That seems odd and possibly confusing/inconvenient for anyone viewing my website (particular potential employers, because this is my online portfolio). how to add playback controls? I don't want to use any external players (like Flowplayer), as I am trying hard to avoid watermarks and having to pay for anything extra.
Interesting note: when I used Dreamweaver to insert the .flv, I had the option to select from a list of playback controls. However, the .flv did not play smoothly on my website, and I found the solution to place the .flv in an .swf for nicer playback.
I have two FLV's that I have playing back to back. They use the following code, but I'd like to add the video controls/controller to the player, which I'm not sure how to do. This is what I currently have:
Code:
var videoList:Array = ["20120331_102028.flv", "20120331_102102.flv"];//we also define the currentIndex here:
var currentIndex:int = 0;
[Code].....
Unlike a typical FLV import where you can add the particular video controls that you prefer, I'm not sure how to add that manually via AS. What would be the best way to do this? I'd obviously like to be able to control volume and have a timeline scrubber that will work on both videos.
I'm importing a video in flash cs5, using actionscript 3.0. I have copy the SkinOverPlay.fla and i'm changing it to fit my needs. I am looking for just a play/pause button (no other controls) in the center of the screen that disappear when the mouse it out of the video. How to play the video in loop.
View 1 RepliesMy question is how do I incorporate playback controls to a Embedded Video that plays with the timeline? I saw how easy it was to add playback components when you import video externally. I figured that I probably need to start by creating my play back components, but then I need code to tell the swf what to do?
View 5 RepliesWill there ever be the ability to add a 'Record' button to a player such as those used with Ustream, Justin.tv and other similar players? I run a live stream and would love for the viewers to have a 'Record' button so they may capture the video to their local hard drives for later playback.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash document with 5 keyframes, each of these has a 'Label', which I then reference in actionscript like so:
ActionScript Code:
buttonHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToHome);
function jumpToHome(evt:MouseEvent){
gotoAndPlay("Home");
}
That all works fine, and I'm happy with that. Now, at the third 'Label' I have some text on a blackboard with left and right arrows at the bottom, so i changed the blackboard to a movieclip, went into the timeline of the blackboard's movie clip and added this AS:
ActionScript Code:
br1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage2);
br2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage3);
br3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage4);
br4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage5);
bl1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,jumpToPage1);
[Code] .....
And my slideshow advances one page, but then all the controls lock up and I cant advance or return anymore? The main navigation through my primary time line still functions at all points.
Does anyone have a link to a tutorial that will show me how to make an image gallery that has an automatic slideshow with manual controls, a multi-page thumbnail bank with manual controls, and a preloading system that would be good for about 160 images at about 1024x680? I don't really know any useful actionscript, and I've managed to find a hodge-podge of tutorials but I don't know how to tie in all the parts to make what I want.[url]...
View 2 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).
View 1 RepliesI am trying to use the media playback advanced photo album template and I am having an error. I have changed the directory for the photo's like the template says to do but the error I keep getting is:

Flash slideshow by getting it to preload the next photo (from a folder of numbered jpgs) when the current photo is done loading, but I can't quite get it worked out and I'm not sure what I'm missing... What I thought I might try is to have two movie clips to hold photos, one on the stage and one off the stage.
I would load the current photo into the movie clip on the stage(pictures.slides) and when that finishes I would load the next photo in the movie clip off the stage (pictures.preloadNextPhoto) so that it would already download the image and would load faster when the user clicks "Next". It doesn't work. I won't load the whole script in here, but this is the movieloader function with the meat of the functionality:

View 2 RepliesI want to be able to use the slideshow function when called from a button. I take it that this would be a simple case of calling the function onRelease or something similar... Also on a slightly different though smei related point, I am setting up a gallery using the XML gallery though am going to be using multiple gallery options so that once a user has chosen a gallery set it will load the appropriate XML file...

View 2 RepliesI really like this automated slide show tutorial using xml. However, I'm looking for help on why when using a modem connection the file loads the first image and stalls (out of the box, no modifications to the file at this point). I refresh the screen and it starts over and loads the first image and then the second image and stalls again. This stall occurs for each subsequent image until all images are loaded. I did try adding a preloader function in the fla file ... I tired loading the images using a JavaScript array in the body of the html page.
I read all the optimization help file information and help on publishing settings. I tried various published settings with compression, with compression. Tried different fps settings etc. I'm using MX. Downloaded trial versions of MX 2004 and MX 2004 Professional and still not working, as I would like it to on dialups.I have a similar version that is dynamically loading images but is using text files to load the variables. I am very interesting in this one because is uses xml. I tried clipping out the xml code and used it in my other file and I get the same result.
I need to create a photo slideshow which runs automatically (I don't want any "back" or "next" buttons - there is to be no user interface), with the photos fading in and out, one after the other, and music in the background.
I have external .jpg files that I need to have load, one after the other, into their own movie clips (I have 5 different movie clips which I would like to alternate between my .jpgs) and stay on the stage for a set amount of time (3 seconds for some, 5 seconds for some, etc.).
I figured out how to get 1 image to load into a movie clip with the below code:
var image:Loader = new Loader ();
image.load( new URLRequest ("pic1.jpg"));
blankMC.addChild (image);
However I don't know the code to force this movie clip to only play for a set amount of time, and, unload from the stage, and then load a new movieclip.
if not, is there a way for me to accomplish this without using XML (which I have no clue how to do . . .)
On the main page will be a Slide show of 8 pictures. I would like a next and previous button on each side of the picture.Also I would like it, to where, when you click the picture, it would take you the the page the picture is at on my flash site.. So like page "Chris_Portfolio"

View 3 RepliesI've spend two days searching this forum, to find an example on how to makea XML image gallery "like the kirupa one" but with an adittional feature...with no success.I'm looking for a gallery setup that offers you an option to inlcude extra photos' per image..For example:image one can contain 1-5 extra pictures, which can be seen either viadynamicly attached numbers 12345above the picture or even bettera "play/pause project" button which will show the extra pictures of that same project...a kind of slideshow within a slidehow..with captions/fades ...the whole deal.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to modify Kirupa's xml photo slideshow by adding an extra text field, which if I understand correctly gives each element 3 children (image+text1+text2) instead of 2 (image+text). Even though I've added the third child correctly in the xml, I can't seem to get it to work at all. Here is what I did with the actionscript:
delay = 10000;
//-----------------------
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
[code]....
I've highlighted the parts I've added to the code provided by kirupa's tutorial. sub_text is the instance name I give to the new text field in Flash.
I downloaded the sample file of making slide photos, but I just can't make it run and load pictures automatically and loop itself continuously. How do I do it without have to hit next or previous? And all done with action scripting only without using keyframes? [URL]

View 1 RepliesI'm currently trying to beef up one of the websites I run, and make a better image slideshow for the gallery page. Currently... I have this page for my own website, with the lightbox effect installed correctly. The effect is very nice:When you click on an image, it loads it into focus on top of the page. This is also possible using flash.. using lightbox++. I hope one of you knows of this My question to you is... I want a page that loads the pictures via an xml file, and have the thumbs loaded, and each of those thumbs setup to load the full size version when you click on it.
View 2 RepliesI'm looking to create a slideshow that needs to automatically advance, with each slide having 2 pictures and a short text description, each which would be unique for each slide. The file name for the pictures and description are contained in this xml, currently my XML file has the tags in the format <pic1> location.jpg </pic1>, each grouped for the slide they both need to be on.
