Professional :: FLV Playback Not Smooth With Alpha On Swf
Mar 3, 2011
As I have a gradient background on my website where the swf is embedded, in order to avoid the white screen that appears initially while the swf is loading, I turned transparency on for the swf. In order to really get it transparent I found out that you not only have to enable it in on the html site, but also tick "Detect flash version"and chose "Transparent windowless" in the publish settings. I used the html document created when I published the swf and the transparency now works fine.
However, the films I have on my site are now playing back with a very "jerky" behaviour and not smooth at all. I tried compressing the film as much as possible, but it's still not working as before. The site in question is [URL] if you would like to see for yourself. I've tried it on both my laptop, which is even worse, and my fairly powerful dual core 64 bit stationary PC.

Is it possible to alpha tween (or any tween) the end of an animation with the start?For example, here we have a simple animation that alpha tweens three images with looped playback (keyframes capitalized):
IMAGE X: xxxxxxxxxxxxX--->X
IMAGE Y: Y--->YyyyyyyyyY--->Y
IMAGE Z: Z--->Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
(loop)
Image X alpha tweens with Y, and Y alpha tweens with Z.Is it possible to alpha tween image Z with image X when the playback loops?

I'm working on a UI and I'm using a MouseOver of a MovieClip to trigger the play of animation in the exact same position.It works well, except if the mouse is moving too fast. Then it seems the playback gets stuck.
I'm just wondering if there are any ways to make this more responsive? I'm also wondering if having the MouseOver and the resulting animation could be causing the issue..[URL]...

I've an SWF which loads dinamically six FLV files controlled by actionscript code.My goal is to guarantee a smooth playback, so I've to do a global preload of each file.So, I've created an array. Each element of this array contains a custom objecte named PreloadFLV that contains a reference to a NetStream object in a field named flv_ns.To process the preloading, I do before a NetStream.seek(1), then NetStream.pause() and then with a Timer I check the percent progress.When the percent progress is equal to 100, I start the clip.This is a small piece of code:
preload_flv_array[queue_preloading].flv_ns.play(preload_flv_array[queue_preloading].path);
preload_flv_array[queue_preloading].flv_ns.seek(1);
preload_flv_array[queue_preloading].flv_ns.pause();

I am playing around with AS3 and what I'm trying to do is pretty simple. I have a little test FLA: http:[url]......There is a button that when you scroll over it the alpha goes up to .90 and when you mouse off it it goes back down to .50 alpha.This is all controled by Tween in AS3. The 3 problems that I'm having are:
1) How to define a variable that that is a number that has a blank value like with a string its:
Code:
var test:String = "";
Right? But I have no idea how do do the same thing with a number var.
2) Next thing that I'm confused about it there a way to get a smooth mouse alpha tween on the button. Like as it currenlty is when you mouse over it goes from .50 to .90% alpha. See this isn't all that bad but if you mouse over the button again real fast before the tween goes back to .50 it looks like it get lighter really fast and then gets darker.
3) Finally when you click the replay button the button alpha jumps down to .50 no matter what. You have to actully mouse off and then mouse back on for it to go back up to .90 like it should be when your mouse is hovering on the button.

I'm trying to get an instance of an FLV Playback that serves as a background to one of the sections of my Flash site to fade in once the section is entered, and fade back out again when it is exited. I've put it into an mc called 'vid container' and I applied some simple motion tweening to the container, to fade it in from 0 opacity to 100 and back down again. What I'm having trouble understanding is that, while the fadeout works absolutely fine, the fade in doesn't work at all.

I have a movieclip that I want to be resized when a button is clicked. I want the animation to be smooth as if it had weight though. I read the tutorial on this but I need something slightly different, I would rather it where I can just refer to a function that is set in another movieclip. That way I could easily refer to it again and just set the height, width, and if possible, x, and y.
And my second question, is how to keep the border of my movieclip that is going to be resized the same thickness. I want the inside to be resized but the sides to stay the same width but move to stay on the edge.

I'm creating this simple strip crawl of logos (1920x95). It's a about 40 logos in one strip that I imported. I created a tween that scrolls the logos right to left lasting about 1 1/2 minutes @ 24fps. When I export the SWF file the scroll is not smooth and there is all types of small jerky movements.

I have a main Flash movie that preloads three external SWF's just perfectly.Everything is great...except the 1st movie is not smooth and really slow, the 2nd movie is a little better, and the third movie is the best.It's a rather simple Flash portfolio...I'm thinking it could be a stacking issue-but I've approached it from so many different ways instead of wasting my time shooting at thin air, I thought I'd give this forum a shot.How can I make these three movies play smoothly?I've attached the main movies FLA just to assist.

I have an issue with my Cintiq not drawing smoothly in Flash. I need to sketch incredibly fast and loose. Flash used to work just fine but now it suddenly began drawing really crummy. I posted some examples of flash as well as Photoshop, Sketchbook Pro, and ToonBoom Animate Pro which is another vector graphics tool. I thought the vector graphics may be the issue but that app seems to handle the drawing excellently (now if only it did the other things Flash can do). Here's some examples of how they're looking. It may be hard to tell in these already loose sketches but the performance drop is really a big difference in responsiveness between Flash vs the other apps here:[code]Does anyone know why my cintiq is causing flash to draw so poorly? Occasionally photoshop will also do the same 'crumbly edges' thing?

I am trying to make the background gradient change colors. I put my first gradient in one keyframe, then created another keyframe at the end with a different gradient, but when I converted it to symbol then added the tween, the transition jumps from one color to another, it is not gradual transition I wanted, it just jumps

I just jumped from cs3 to cs5 and i'm curious about some behaviors of motion editor. I made a motion tween with some keyframes on x and y. I open the motion editor and try to convert those keys on x and y channels to Smooth points. Motion editor shows now nice curves on x & y but nothing changes on stage. The motion of my movie clip is not changed in anyway. Its like those keys are still Corner points. No smooth motion. Of course I can change the motion path straight from the stage or create a custom ease to smooth motion.

I want to make a movieclip moves smoothly and when it changes the direction, it can turn smoothly but not a sudden turn, I try out the code below. and the truning is odd:
this.rotation = (Math.atan2(targetY-this.y, targetX-this.x )/Math.PI)*180;

I'm using Flash CS5.5 and have got swipe gestures responding on my iPad. The only problem is that they don't animate and I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck in replicating the smooth iOS swipes using Actionscript 3.0. I found a solution using ENTER FRAME but it was really slow and jerky.

I am noticing a lot of stuttering on my Flash videos viewed over the internet, Win 7 64bit and IE 8, Opera & Chrome.[URL] I am a video producer who shoots, edits, encodes and manages a few websites. I am very familiar with bitrates and encoding.
The videos I am seeing stuttering on are created from HD content and were encoded in Adobe Media Encoder at a bitrate from 775kbps down to 400kbps. When I play these through my 6meg DSL connection there is a constant random stutter like the video is stuggling with a low buffer. This happens even after the download bar shows the entire video is downloaded.
So am I expecting too much from Flash video? Will it always be an "internet" experience and not smooth?When I double-click the .swf files in Windows Explorer they play just fine, very smooth. Maybe a SWF Publishing setting?The Flash player is the latest which was uninstalled and re-installed.

I am playing an swf on a VB.net form which works fine but I've added an FLV to another layer in the same swf and when I run it, the FLV doesn't appear. If I run the swf by itself the FLV appears. I've tried using the FLVPlayback component and tried coding the FLV with AS3, both work when I run the SWF by itself but the FLV still doesn't appear when run in VB.

I have an ad banner in which I am certain I touched nothing that would affect the lack of looping in the file and lo and behold some elemnts loop even though in the actionscript it says to stop looping it....The trace says it played out the function to stop looping but it still does. I am not an actionscript pro but could anyone PLEASE possibly look at the file and tell me how to make sure EVERYTHING stops looping? The looping is causing google to prevent us from putting up the banners

I am trying to create a small movie. Now I want to create an effect that once the mouse is in the right half of the movie - then movie should play forward. When the cursor moves to the left half of the movie then movie should play backwards. I have tried following some examples from online but I am kinda lost
This is what I have done so far:
- Create the animation named it "mc" of type Movie Clip
- Put it in the "main scene"
- The (first) keyframe at "main scene" has action "stop();"
- <<now i am lost >>
Note: Eventually the right and left part of the movie will link to different webpage.

I import the video manually from the File Tab. I change the stage size to match video (I want it full screen because I have "liquid layout" AS3 code in order to match browser window) I center the video on the stage.I make the video an Object (MovieClip)
And that's it.
The video play well, matching the full brower window and resizing accordingly.
My questions are :
1 - I am making the video a movie clip but is it necessary. I have tried without and it still works!! The only thing I find weird is that the "publishing" doesnt work when the video is not made a MovieClip. (I struggle to center the SWF in the HTML page)
2 - I don't know about the Netstream class. My server is a normal FTP (with PHP MYSQL) but not a streaming server. Would it be appropriate (better) to call the video through AS3 using the Netstream class ? (actually I am not sure of what the Netstream class is for)
3 - I have tried to loop the video using the classic AS3 code (that can be found anywhere). What is funny is that the code works when the movie is not converted to an object. But when it is, the looping doesnt work at all. Do you see a reason why ? (Maybe because the video is imported manually and not an instance created from the Video MovieClip Object ??)

I've got a short animation at 720p - not much going on, just some symbols moving around the screen - but playback in flash player is jerky (more flashy, actually) - not smooth at all.
I've got the latest video drivers for my card, running a dual-core 2.4GHz with 6GB of RAM - my CPU meter says it's having no trouble playing the flash. The video card is an Nvidia quadro NVS 285 (pretty old & crap, but should have no problems).
I don't suppose anyone has got any ideas. I am using FlashEff2 for an effect but the entire animation is jerky, not just the bit with the FlashEff. I would post the fla but I can't see any way to do that on this forum - if anyone would like to see the source, please email me at elliot dot sumner at gmail dot com.

The video gallery on my website uses an an FLV video gallery downloaded from Adobe. When I encode my Flash files to Quicktime then to FLV they look perfect but once uploaded onto my site and played back through the gallery the quality suffers, especially text which loses it's vector crispness.Url...The videos are under 'portfolio' the best example of my problem is the INTEL video 3 rows down, second left, text looks rounded when it should be sharp.I have run the videos through Adobe media encoder and After Effects and again whilst looking fine when played locally they degenerate once uploaded.

I'm creating accessible content for a html elearning module. I'm including video, which I have successfully imported into flash, and added captions to by linking a XML document.The issue I am having is that my styling in the XML isn't working in flash, and my captions play in a tiny horrible font, making it very difficult for people to read, therefore not making it accessible content.I've used two tutorials online to create these styles in XML but neither are working.I'm using CS5 Flash and Dreamweaver.XML content is as follows: (I have removed my content for the script)
