I would like to know whether swf files can play in an FLV Player or not. If not possible, is there any option for developing an independent swf player. the technique that can be used to develop swf player.
View 5 Repliesi am looking for a flash/flex component that plays movies that are not .flv but .swf with controllers such as fast forward, stop, play and a timeline.I have a flv player which does the same but some movies I don't want to play bitmap movies but vector for quality reasons ( as movieclips )
View 2 RepliesI am trying my hand at an MP3 player for a site we are developing.I have got to a stage where everything seems to be working fine except on IE 6 where the stop and pause button does not work.On my laptop I have IE 7 Flash CS3 and everything is fine with no errors. At work I have IE 6 and Flash CS3 but it does not work and Flash throughs an error.TypeError #1009 Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.if I take out the line of code that says soundControl.stop(); it does not throw the error but then the music does not stop.
The other problem is i use length() to get the length of the song which gives you a length in millseconds which i divide by 1000 but the timer seems to take longer to get there as a result the music finishes before the timer [URL]Here is my code I have used flash reference and this website to get this far.
ActionScript Code:
var geton:Number;
var soundControl:SoundChannel;
var sound:Sound;
[code]....
Before I start off; I'm not a pro at Flash at all.
Folder structure:
start.swf
assets/moviecontainer.swf
assets/flv/movie.flv
What I want is to open start.swf, have it embed moviecontainer.swf which has a FLV playback object that loads in the movie.flv. When I check my moviecontainer.swf, it runs properly. But when I use start.swf it loads moviecontainer.swf (because I can see it has the background and all) but the movie won't play (and I think the buttons don't work anymore)
I have saved both .swfs with the "Local files only" option. I have no idea what the problem can be, as I said, I'm no Flash pro and I have no experience as to say "oh it looks like we got that xyz problem.."
I just upgraded to Flash cs5 from studioMX and find that cs5 won't play swf's from my old files properly.Does anyone have a fix or work around. I downloaded the lastest upgrade from Adobe's site and it still isn't working.
View 2 RepliesWe're currently creating a Flash presentation (just one movie really) which needs to play and loop on DVD players in retail outlets. It's basically going to be a series of JPEGs which animates between frames. What I need to know is: What is the best size (in pixel dimensions) to go for? How will this be affected by different TV sizes / ratios, such as widescreen vs. normal? We're planning on publishing the Flash movie as a .mov file and then burning this to a DVD. Does that sound a good idea?

View 1 RepliesI need to play a FLV file on a web page, but I don't want it playing in a visible player. That is I don't want there to be the usual Play button and no frame. I want it to work and look much like this link: [URL]. It is similar to those infamous "Mac vs PC" videos which occasionally play on the home page of [URL]. My flash ability in this area is limited. (I'm a Joomla pro but not a flash pro.) Looking at the source code, I see various swf controller file links, and some javascript, I think.
I have no idea what is in the swf files that may or may not be making it all work. First of all I don't even know if it is possible for a FLV file to play above html and then disappear revealing the html when it is finished playing. I assume with the swf and javascript and divs this is possible, but am not sure.Ideally I would love the complete code if possible. Or links to where I can find out how to do it.
function setPlayer(playerSwf:MovieClip,pathFile:String) {
playerSwf.sliderMc.width=0;
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I have a FLV player that stops playing right before the end of the video.
View 1 RepliesI have 15 movie clips that play one at a time. When the first one calls the second movie clip there is a short space (black screen) between the two which I have to eliminate. I tried loading the second one half way thru the first movie then tell it to play when the first movie is over, but when I do that you can see a disturbance in the first movies performance when the second one is pre-loaded. Is there a way around this so I can make 15 movies run seamlessly? They are separate .swf files!
View 1 RepliesOk so I have a flash banner I am working on. It is basically 3 flv files. 1 for the main content, and 2 for the background.
What I want to do is load in the first flv for the background, as soon as it is done playing I want to play the second flv, Then once the second flv is finished playing I want it to loop continuously.
The main content flv will then be layed overtop of this and play through once and stop while the background continues to loop.[code]...
I am developing a VB.NET Windows application that plays SWF and FLV files in popup windows.
The user presses a button on the main application form, a window pops up, and the Flash media will then play (in theory).
I was successful in getting SWF files to play. First, I added the Shockwave Flash Object AciveX control to my toolbox (VB.NET named it AxShockwaveFlash1), and then double clicked it to add it to my popup form. Then, in the startup routine for my popup, I added the following lines to play my SWF:
AxShockwaveFlash1.Movie = "path/filename.swf"
AxShockwaveFlash1.Play()
I attempted exactly the same approach using a separate form for an FLV file, this time of course setting the Movie property of the Shockwave Flash Object to "path/filename.flv". In this case, the FLV file did not play. There were no error messages, but just a popup screen with nothing on it.
I have three flv files that I need to play sequentially, one right after the other in the same location (box) in an html document. I have segmented the video because of it's size. Does any one know how I would make this happen or where I can find some sort of tutorial that can assist me with this? I also have another project in which I have 4 animations that I want to play in sequence but they are in different locations on the web page.
View 1 RepliesI've made several FLV files and they all pause while playing. A 3 minute video 640x360, 37MB will pause 4 times. If I open the page and let it sit about 3 minutes before playing the video, then it will play smoothly but since no one will ever do that I must resolve the issue. Also, once it plays all the way through, then it will play smoothly, but again, I need it to play smoothly the first time someone clicks on it.[URL]..
View 7 RepliesI want a swf file that will play other swf files one after the other. They are swf, not video files, as I need to change everything on the page when the video stops playing. So, one swf opens with a custom page - plays a video - and then the next swf will open and do the same thing. There's much talk about 'typing stop(); on the last frame of a video" - As far as I can see - everything is automatically sitting on a single frame in Flash - whether it's scene 1, or I open the movie file - the movie is all playing in one frame. If try to simple put different material on a second frame, it loops back and forth between one frame of each movie (it will change the background, and video - but I get only ONE frame of each movie - not the full movie before switching).
View 9 RepliesI am doing a mobile application using air and as3.0. And I am using two databases - one is mysql for online data access and another one is sqlite3 for local data access. Once I download a song from server database, it should store in ApplicationStorageDirectory in the folder named "tracks". All the songs are in mp3 format. Finally my question is... How can I save mp3 files in ApplicationStorageDirectory and How can I play those files by referring to the ApplicationStorageDirectory path?
View 1 RepliesI have a swf loading in another swf that has a video player in it. When I remove the swf from the stage, the swf goes away but the audio from the swf keeps playing. Is there a way to tell that swf to stop playing from the parent swf?
View 7 RepliesIt is perfect, except that I'm not sure how to keep it from playing automatically. I tried removing the playSong() part under the loadSong function and it just removes the ability to play the song altogether. Here is the code:

///////////////////////////////////Variables/////////////////////////////////var song:Sound;var channel:SoundChannel;var xform:SoundTransform;var

I have a video player program, there is a list page and a player page, once you click on an item in the list it takes you to the player page and it loads the correct video from a streaming server for you, easy peasy When each item is picked it finds the corresponding item in an XML file and loads my video player source with the XML data url
function beginLoad():void { this.addChild(videoPlayer) videoPlayer.source = myXML.video[videoIndex].@url; }
(it has nothing to do with this function not happening on mouse event, this is only the part that happens when it loads)My issue is that if you are fast enough and click to return to the list page before the video has started playing, the video will play in the background, even though the code actually removes the video player child from the stage the code on the button to return to the list page is
function navToList(e:Event):void { videoPlayer.stop(); videoPlayer.parent.removeChild(videoPlayer); }
there is more code in the button but none of it relates to the videoPlayer item why on earth it continues to play is beyond me, surely if there is no videoPlayer componen on the stage (and this is the only one) then the video has no ability to play whatsoever is there a specific command to tell the videoPlayer item to stop everything and just return to a blank state, do I set its 'source' to nothing?
I am using a free flash music player. It will be found here URL...When the player open, it starts music autoplay. But I do not want that.

View 5 RepliesSo I did the tutorial and it works fantastically. However I don't want it to auto start and obviously it does, I thought if I took out playSong(); it would cease the autoplay but that doesn't work, and I took out playSong();} and that made the whole thing stop working, so what I'm wondering is how do I keep the mp3 player from auto playing, and also the variables in the tutorial were url, artist & track. What would be the proper procedure to add a 4th variable ?
Code:
Select all// Setup sound object
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.onSoundComplete = playSong;
s.setVolume(75);
// Array of songs
var sa:Array = new Array();
// Currently playing song
var cps:Number = -1;

As more and more FLV videos are moving to HD, I'm noticing high CPU usage and lots of dropped frames when playing FLV video in web browser with Flash 10. This is true even if the video isn't full screen. I've tried a variety of browsers (Firefox, I.E., Chrome) and the problem occurs on all of them so it's pretty clear it's a limitation in Flash.
Now my PC isn't high end (it has a Pentium M 1.86 GHz processor), but I can take those same FLV files and load them in something like Media Player Classic or Windows Media Player (when using ffdshow) and play the FLV files full screen with little or no drop in frames and an acceptable CPU rate.
This is especially annoying on sites like YouTube where I actually have to save the video and play it back in something other than Flash to have it play back at an acceptable rate. This doesn't work for other sites like Amazon.
Why is the CPU usage so high when decoding and displaying videos when compared to other media players?
I dynamically loaded swf files through loadmovie, into a main movie which has six scenes. I made a button to go from scene 1 to scene 2, and when I go to scene 2, the swf continues to play from scene 1. How can I stop the swf from playing before it goes go to the next scene. I need to stop the swf when it exits scene. What's the easiest way this can be done. I'm using Actionscript 2.0.
View 3 RepliesI'm currently working on a project where I mix animation sequences with short videos. My project also has two scenes and the FLV will be placed on the main time line of the second scene. The problem I am having is, if the movie is previewed from the first scene, or exported, the FLV on scene 2 won't load. the timeline on the playhead will just spin. I'm currently using "Load external video with playback component" as the method for importing the flv file.I have already worked with this video multiple times in other flash files and have never had a problem loading the video. Is there a limitation to FLV playback in multiple scene movies?
View 5 RepliesI thought that FMS3.1 supported f4v files but I cannot get mine to play. It says it cannot find the stream specified but the file is right where all my other files are that do play fine (both flv and mp4 files). Am I incorrect in thinking that FMS3.1 supports f4v files or do I have the wrong code?

I'm using Flash CS4 and I have a jukebox coded in AS3 to play songs 1-4.
If I click publish preview>Flash, everything works fine. The songs load, play, and can have their volumes adjusted.
If I export a swf file and the associated html file, along with the songs in the same directory structure as they were on my computer (in an audio folder in the same directory as the swf), the graphics show up, but the music doesn't play when I click the song buttons.
what I may have done wrong to go from a working publish preview of flash to a non-functional swf and html on the web?
