How to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file. Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website [URL] under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to embed a video file into my flash project and I want to to play till the end and jump to a different frame in the timeline. I tried to emport the video into flash and it says that the file is not supported. Can I not do it or do I need to convert the mpeg file into some sort of fla file?
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to embed a video from youtube into an SWF file. I have been looking at the various posts here and I found this actionscript code:
System.security.allowDomain("YOUTUBE DOMAIN would go here");
System.security.loadPolicyFile("YOUTUBEDOMAIN would go here/crossdomain.xml");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("video_mc", 10000);
this.video_mc.loadMovie
("I had to remove this link so I could post it normally would have the youtube link to the video file");
I created a movie instance on my stage and called it video_mc and pasted the code into a frame.
When I press ctrl and enter to test the flash document I get my page as expected and the youtube video appears,however I get the following message:
'*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to null halted - not permitted 'I had to remove this link so I could post this on this forum -my post count is less than 50- normally would have the youtube link to the video file
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.'
I'm all very new to Flash! I'm a Designer. I recently out sourced a flash project and now my client needs it updating. My project consists of a music mixing desk. You press a button and video pops up. The buttons are in the stage. When pressed, this triggers a movie clip which loads a FLV player. SIMPLE! ([URL] - to see the site in action!) I have a simple flash gallery [URL]. I have put the SWF, image folder and XML in the root. I have tried embedding the SWF gallery into my Flash Project by importing it into the library and dragging it to where video content usually lives (FLV player). It doesn't work. I've tried other techniques (loadMovie etc). But I'm a bit fuzzy on these methods.

I am not able to get youtube movies to play in Flash MX 2004 when embedded. The error I get is:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain '[URL]' tried to access incompatible context '[URL]'
I have tries adding the suggested codes (gathered from this forum) relating to security domain and policy files but nothing seems to work. I have read that it may be because the testing (of the SWF) is not being done on a website but locally - on my machine's HD' - but this must also be possible to workaround?

I have 1 swf file which generated through 3rd party tool.Now I want to embed this file into empty flash file and want to save as new, I tried with following options,
1) import option ( File > Import ) but it is importing only Images and symbols. I want my original file as it in new file.
2) loader.load(), but this will load my external file at runtime only and to work smoothly it require both the files.
I want same but in design time, so I can add some extra functionality to it.Is it possible to embed external swf file as it is in new flash file in CS4?
I have successfully embedded the youtube video in my flash code with:
//create area to put youtube video on screen
this.createEmptyMovieClip("reason1_video", 10000);
reason1_video._xscale = 60; reason1_video._yscale = 60;
this.reason1_video.loadMovie("[URL]");
However, the video plays with black bars on top and bottom even though it plays without those directly from youtube: [URL]. Even if I take off the scaling, it still has the black bars. How do I get rid of them?
I'm trying to find out if it's possible to use a .ICO file instead of a .PNG or .JPEG file in my Flash project. Is this even possible? The reason I'm asking is that the project I'm putting together uses ActionScript 2.0 code (not sure if that makes a difference or not) and displays a bunch of images for a bunch of different applications. So instead of creating a .PNG file for each application, since I've already got .ICO files on hand, I'd rather use those (saving me a ton of time).
View 4 RepliesI am trying to figure out if it's possible to embed an external flash music player (in this case sound cloud) to play some of my own tracks in my flash site. I don't want to create my own player as the sound cloud player is really nice and also has stats.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a project in flex builder but it's not using the flex framework, it's just pure actionscript.
At the moment I have some bitmap resources embedded for drawing things, but I'd like a little animation and thought I could create swf animations for them in flash and use the [Embed()] thing to embed them in the actionscript project.
This works perfectly well for me, however I'm a little concerned about efficiency and how well this approach will scale when my project gets larger.
Does anyone know if there are any efficiency implications to embedding maybe 20 or 30 swf files, or do they get efficiently integrated into the main swf file? Most of the animations are really simple and I could probably redo them in actionscript if needed but it's a lot easier just to draw them in flash and embed them.
The Flash IDE is capable of embedding many types of uncompressed sound files, including wav, and offers optional compression when publishing.However,the [Embed] tag, only seems to allow embedding of mp3 files.Is it truly impossible to embed an uncompressed wav file,or am I missing some magic, undocumented mimeType?I was hoping for something like:
[Embed source="../../audio/wibble.wav" mimeType="audio/wav"]
...but I get no transcoder registered for mimeType 'audio/wav'.It's possible to embed wav or other format as an octet-stream and parse at runtime,but that's pretty heavy handed I think. I'm surprised that even though the Flash IDE can embed uncompressed sound data,[Embed] cannot, given that the swf spec can contain uncompressed sound data.
I want to be able to embed a youtube video into a movie clip on stage, and be able to edit which video is embedded via XML. This functionality is needed by my client so they don't have to open the thing in Flash.
So far I've managed to embed a video with this AS code:
[Code]...
This works great, however obviously in order to change the video you have to open Flash and edit the AS. I have some experience with XML, however I don't know where to start in terms of embedding a youtube vid.
P.S I've had to change the URLs in the post as I'm not allowed to post links on this forum yet.
I'm a little amazed. What the heck do I need?

View 4 RepliesThe entire banner needs to be a clickable link for the duration of the animation. So anyone can click on the banner at any point during the animation, and be brought to my site. I tried putting a frame at the end with getURL[URL] but that doesnt work. When I do that, the banner is not a clickable link, but the site opens automatically after the animation has played. Cant have that. So after doing some research, the apparent correct way to do this is by making a button, but I do that and the button obsures everything else.

I have been trying to embed a font into a project I am working and its just not happening. I am having 2 problems first I am trying to embed a font that I do not have installed on my machine (Helvetica Neue Bold), I do have a copy of the otf file though. As far as I know what I have tried should work however when I run the swf I only get Times New Roman. From the enumerated fonts I can see the font has embedded but it just wont show. Secondly if I replace the Helvetia font with one I do have on my machine (Arial for example) the text displays with the correct font but if I then set embedFonts = true the text disappears.
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

Whenever a youtube or any other flash content is buffered on the browser, isn't it true that is downloaded to the client computer ? So my assumption is that, any completely buffered youtube file should be found on my client right ? For example, when i view this video on youtube, i see that it is actually referring to this swf location [URL] How does youtube actually buffer this video on my computer then ?
Note: My objective is NOT to download youtube videos as i know there are extensions available for it. I just want to know how it works :) .
I am still new to AS. Looking for a detailed tutorial/explanation on adding/embeding a youtube video to flash. If anybody has a descent example that would work too. Also i would like the youtube video to play in the flash file.

I'm back in video after a decade long absence and I'm completely new to YouTube because I've been living on a continent that rarely even has Internet. I've got some old footage I need to put on YouTube, but YouTube's specs are a bit contradictory at times.Starting from the get go, I have several questions and I hope you can point me in the right direction. It sounds like an FLV file is what I should go for, so I'll base my questions on that. Don't hesitate to answer between the lines. And don't hesitate to tell me to change tracks.
The most clear export I can make from my old Avid editing program is an uncompressed QuickTime movie. I can't find anything in the YouTube specs about QuickTime moives. They don't say they're good. They don't say they're bad. Can I convert to an FLV file and upload to YouTube with good results? When I export non-HD material from my editing program, what frame size do I export?When I convert to an FLV file, what size do I re-size to? Or does YouTube resize whatever I send to them to the right size?When I convert to an FLV file, what's a reasonable bitrate for video? How about audio?Or do I even need to bother with the above? In one YouTube information sheet, it sounded like I could just upload a plain old MPEG2 file and YouTube would go from there. Correct or not?What's the benefit of an alpha channel? It seems like the files get smaller, but I can't get them to play at all after I've ticked alpha.I'm using Avid Xpress Pro 4.3 and have access to both AVS and TMPG 3 for MPEG conversion. I'm using CS3 from Adobe.
One Mp3 file lives in the main timeline of a Flash file extending length of movie. These files have to be converted for youTube postings. Output I've tried is .mov and .avi. Audio format is not being recognized by youTube. I only have the mp3 sound files which i know is a compressed format. Are there simple settings or config changes i can make for export to get these to upload to youTube with audio?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to play a Youtube video in a Flash SWF. I have a button (video_btn) and a black rectangle movie clip (480 x 365) named video_mc. The AS2 I have for video_btn is:
video_btn.onRelease=function(){
createEmptyMovieClip("video_mc",_root.getNextHighe stDepth());
video_mc.loadMovie("http://youtube/.......");
};
This does not seem to be working locally. I did try uploading a test swf to a free swf hosting website but it still does not play the Youtube video.
