Professional :: Adding A Player Component To Fla File?
Dec 7, 2010
Is it possible to add a player component to your fla file? In all the documentation I'm finding the only thing I can find is adding it to an flv file. I've run into a roadblock, my flash video encoder is not installed, I no longer have the cds to install it and when I try to export to an mov file its saying that the version of flash is too new for my quick time application. There has to be an easier way to add add controls to your flash movies.
I created a video in After Effects and rendered the output to an .flv, works fine when I embed in html and upload to my server. But now I'm having a problem with the next phase and that's adding a link to the flv using Cue points. I read the tutes on this but cannot get past the following. First I tested this by importing the flv picking the skin for the player and importing straight to an html page in Dreamweaver. I uploaded the html, flv and player to the server and it works great.
Now I need to add a url link to a certain frame of the flv and read the tute on how to import the flv into a new fla file, I see where I can scrub the timeline inside the flv and thought I was home free as all I had to do was upload and add the cue points. But now I see where I had to take the .flv and import as video to a new fla and after importing the flv it clearly states that the component will only play locally. After making sure the flv was on the server I uploaded the html and swf. When I try to playback from the server I get a browser Which is named "Flash Player Installation" with a blank screen.
My loader component works when I publish to Flash Player 7 but not when I publish to Flash Player 8, why? The publish setting are for ActionScript 2.0 on both.
I am loading an external swf file into my swf file in CS4 with AS2. The reason I am doing this is that the external swf file contains a sequence of images and I tried to convert it to flv video but using many tricks and software out there (like converting to AVI and then to FLV) but there was always LOSS in quality. My question is! Is there a SWF player component much like FLV player component, because I need to give the user the ability to stop, pause, rewind etc.... the loaded external swf file?
Offline (on my drive) it works, but online (on my website) it loads the entire flv before displaying anything (..I get the animated barber shop sign scrub bar thing).Is there any additional coding or setup I need to do for it to allow me to play it even while it is downloading, as it's supposed to? I just spent a week trying to get my Quicktime .mov's to Fast Start, and it just isn't happening, despite everything I try.I had it work ONCE now using QT Pro, but now they aren't working again.
I gave up on QT, and am trying the FLV route using the FLV Player component... which looked promising, but is now giving me the same issue.Clip thumbnails (embedded movies) on my HTML page that don't download until you click play... and when you click play, it starts playing as soon as it has a good enough head start in the load.I've tried Fast Start QT's....as well as external FLVs loaded via a swf with a FLV Player component inside..
i want to know how i can put a flash file inside a flash wbsite. i have found a tutorial [URL] that says something like that but in this tutorial if i understand correctly it creates a new flash project and add another swf inside. i have my website created and i just want to add video gallery, image gallery etc that are already swf. how i can do that?
I am trying to add a photo to a Flash file that we had created for us: URL...I am kind of sort of new at Flash. I can edit these files but I can't figure out how to add a new photo. I thought you could just add a new layer but that's not working.URL...
just created a slideshow that loops because I want it to continuously play. I added another timeline layer and inserted my music file which is 4:03 minutes long which I set to loop as well. However after it has been playing for about 15-20 seconds it sounds like it is layering another music file on top of the existing one and so on and so forth, so a couple of minutes
I have CS5.5, know very little about Flash, and can't find the answer to this anywhere. I know how to go into Flash, create an ActionScript 3 project, save it, imort a video, add a skin and export it. However, the result is two files. Not what I want.
Is there a way to combine a video file and player skin into one file?
I have a website [URL] that you can but banner advertizing on it. The banners have to be a jpg or swf file and have to be a certain size. I have no trouble with PS. Everytime you refresh the screen or go to another page a new add appears. What I'm wondering if I can take several pictures and make them into swf file. What I'm trying to accomplish is a rotating banner so you don't have to refresh to see the new ads.
I am working with a Flash template that includes a window linking to an XML document. We are trying to have three scrollable columns instead of what we have now which is the one block of text provided through the XML document.
This has been a long time question, why, when you bring illustrator artwork into flash does it add so many unnecessary control points to the object? something as simple as a circle with 4 happy control points in illustrator suddenly becomes a 20 control point circle when brought into flash. It has been this way forever and I know that there is no setting to change this?
I am trying to make the SIMPLEST POSSIBLE MP# player using the player component preinstalled in flash.It is very simple, the code is as follows:
Code: on (release) { player.contentPath ="Song.mp3" player.play() } ("player" is the mp3 component)
This works if I want a single track to be selected and played.Now, I need it to AUTOMATICALLY LOAD THE NEXT TRACK, which I will input in the code.I am thinking something like this:
I will be putting a website online, it has been built using dreamweaver with imported flash movies. Now when I put this on the server will the flash still be there? Or do I have to publish every single flash component in the file??
Is it possible to dynamically load a flex component, compiled as a swf file into a .fla file. Originally, this flex component can be loaded as a standalone flex application with parameters to connect to the appropriate server. But now a customer of mine wants to integrate this flex component (originally inserted in a flex application) in a custom flash application, thus in .fla file using Adobe Flash CS4.
I've seen that it was possible to integrate a flash animation created with Adobe Flash CS4 in a flex application. But what I need to do is the opposite.
I have been using CS4 for about a week, getting used to it from CS3. I just noticed that I published a file in Flash Player 10 and do not see an AC Run file in the folder yet the swf displays.I uploaded to my server and it still display?
I've created a flash animation (the backgroung is moving horizontally and vertically according to the movement of the mouse), the problem is that when I open my SWF file in Adobe Flash Player 10.0 the whole animation is shaking. (In Adobe Flash in preview mode it looks fine)
I've got a avi file which I can convert to a swf or flv file. What I want to do though is put this on a website with a play and stop button. Progress bar maybe.
I am new to Flash and I am working on updating a website that was created by co-workers in 2009.I was not here when it was created and those people are no longer here to help me out.The website is URL...I am simply trying to update a few of the photos in the flash file that plays on a few of the pages.We recently upgraded from CS2 to CS5.5 and I am working on a PC.When I try to open the SWF file in the Flash Application, it only lets me play it through the player and I'm not granted access to any of the editing tools(see image).I recently found a photoshop file where it looks like they created the animation, but I'm confused how they saved it as an SWF file.
Is there a way when using Actionscript 3 to embed the video player skin into my document so that when I publish it, everything I need to launch the file onto a website is in one swf? When I publish it as it is now, 2 swfs appear, one for my file and one for the video player skin. Can I embed the video player skin so this doesn't happen and I only have to upload the one swf to my website?
Making simple player to allow viewing on website.Adding flv file to create a published player.Works fine after publishing on local system as long as the flv is located in the same directory as the swf player.When copying to a website, it seems the player does not know how to find the video file.
I'm working on a project that I want to export as a .avi file. I'm using Flash 8. I can go through the steps of exporting the movie fine, but once I try to play it in Windows Media Player, I get this error:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."
I've tried playing it in VLC and DIVX player as well I got similar error messages. This is a time sensative project,
Can I convert a Flash file to Quicktime or Windows Media Player? If so....how? (Also, is swf the only file format on Flash?) I've been reading I need to download some converter to do this.
We have noticed a possible bug in the Flash Player within Mac's latest OS version Snow Leopard.
When a Browse for file dialog is initiated, upon returning to the browser. It's as if there is a layer above the flash app which stops interaction with the mouse. MouseOver events no longer take place and a click is require to remove this layer. If you move your mouse at all after the click this invisible layer returns limiting interaction.
We have tested this with 2 macs running snow leopard and the latest Flash Player. And also verified it is not an issue on Mac OSX previous to Snow Leopard.
It seems to effect only FF and Safari. Opera functions correctly.. Here is a video we created documenting the problem: [URL]
We have not had any customers complain about this yet. But if it's infact a bug, it's just a matter of time.
I've exhausted searches looking for how to add properties to the component properties panel for a custom AS2 and AS3 components.This Adobe Livedoc suggests using Inspectable tags before variables:[URL]I've also tried adding the components via the Component Definition dialog in the library.Both methods work in that they produce an .swc, but neither adds the properties into the Component Properties.
In our flex application we have tabs at the main level and under it we have subview.e.g
Home / Tasks / Admin etc...
In one condition we have to click on a button and open a new tab, on this tab we have to add an existing mxml component and show it in the tab.We are using parsley as the framework. Inside the mxml component test.mxml(that is shown in the tab) i am configuring it with parsley using the tag.Now when i add the instance of this test.mxml i am getting an exception. I am deriving this test.mxml instance using teh parsley context
as
context.getObject(id of component) as DisplayObject and adding it to the tabNavigator...
But i am getting exception when i try to grab an instance of a view using parsley context. How do i get an instance of a view or component that is configure through parsley using the parslye context.Also the problem is occuring becuase of the view injection..because i get a parsley excepiton on startup of the application stating that there is some problem in the context.
I'm having a problem when adding a child to a VBox component. Is it not the same thing?:
List Item:
<mx:Script> <![CDATA[ public function addChildren():void {
[Code]....
I am injecting two properties (question and answer) to the FaqItem component from an auxiliar file (using BabelFX) that depends on the id of the FaqItem, but it is only working when I choose the second option. If I use the first option, I get a child but with the text in question and answer fields is empty. I need to use the first option.
The project I'm working on requires older libraries that extend mx components (such as TitleWindow and TabNavigator), I can't use what I know about Spark skinning directly. However, since the project is being programmed using the default Spark theme (with my modifications on top) rather than the Halo theme, I apparently don't have access to the styles I need (namely backgroundImage and contentBackgroundImage which apparently require Halo to be active). Simply setting Halo to be the theme will break other things, not the least of which my own theme.
Plans are in the works to replace the older libraries or at least patch them better to Flex 4, but as of right now, I need a way to style/skin these components without modifying them directly. It would be ridiculous to be unable to add a background image to a TitleWindow's content area! I've searched the internet high and low all day and tried countless variations of styles, skins, selectors, and combinations thereof with no luck. How to add a background image to the content of a mx TitleWindow while using the Flex 4.1 sdk?!
