Professional :: Handling Flash Video Cue Points In Javascript
Dec 13, 2010
how to get Javascript in an HTML page containing an FLV video to listen for cue points in the video? I understand how to get the cue points in, but most people only seem to want to handle the cue point events within Flash. I want to use Javascript to display a different text in a page element at each point. Does the method vary depending on what player you're using? How about when it's the standard Flash playback component? Does there need to be any special Actionscript in the SWF containing the FLV?

The following bit of javascript writes and retrieves a cookie which counts a users visits to the page. Then using swfobject it both embeds main_banner.swf and passes the cookie value "visits" to it via flashvars. The trouble is in the actionscript below; the vallue has been passed (this is certain, because the .swf shows up rather than the alternative content)- but the .swf is stuck on the first frame rather than processing the cookie and sending the user to the appropriate frame label.

I am trying to use Javascript to intercept keyboard events, so I can do CMD-W for "close-window" and whatnot, inside a Flash application, so the Browser doesn't get to use them. Well, I am able to listen for ALT, CTRL, and CMD onKeyDown/onKeyPress events, but I am not able to listen to anything else...
Here is the code, in the index.html file from a Flex Project:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
document.onkeydown = function(event) {applicationKeyboardHandler(event)}
document.onkeypress = function(event) {applicationKeyboardHandler(event)}
function applicationKeyboardHandler(event) {
alert("Key Pressed")
} </script>
I would like to make it so it could listen to any key press, not just alt/ctrl/cmd.

I've been using this method of file uploading for a bit, but it seems that Google Gears has poor support for the newer browsers that implement the HTML5 specs. I've heard the word deprecated floating around a few channels, so I'm looking for a replacement that can accomplish the following tasks, and support the new browsers. I can always fall back to gears / standard file POST's but these following items make my process much simpler:
Users MUST to be able to select multiple files for uploading in the dialog.I MUST be able to receive status updates on the transmission of a file. (progress bars)I would like to be able to use PUT requests instead of POST I would like to be able to easily attach these events to existing HTML elements using JavaScript. I.E. the File Selection should be triggered on a <button> click. I would like to be able to control response/request parameters easily using JavaScript.
An example of uploading code using gears:
// select some files:
var desktop = google.gears.factory.create('beta.desktop');
desktop.openFiles(selectFilesCallback);
[code]....
Edit: apparently flash isn't capable of using PUT requests, so I have changed it to a "like" instead of a "must".

Is it possible to load navigation cue points from an xml file like you can do with captions or do they always have to be embedded in the encoding? If it's possible, can you point me to a resource that shows you how? I've searched and searched for weeks and found nothing!

I'm setting up some auto build scripts with ant and jsfl for use in Flash CS4. I have a few files that have some missing fonts. For these I just want to have the default mapping selected since the text content in question isn't displayed. I think CS5 may have an option to not display the mapping dialog, but CS4 doesn't. Anyone know if there's a jsfl method to targert this window and just select 'OK'?

I understand that Flash supports subtitles with cue points and XML files for flash video. First, I don't know if that would work for a flash animation, and second, I'm looking for a much simpler solution. I am more than willing to manually add and time my subtitles myself on a new layer. What I need help with is finding the simplest way possible to make these subtitles toggle-able. Why? Because I seem to have a serious allergy to ActionScript, and though I can master programs like 3D studio Max and After Effects, I seem to screw up even the simplest of Actionscript jobs.
Is there some way I can make a button that simply makes my subtitles layer invisible across the whole thing? Maybe a command to change the font to a blank one, or to move the titles off screen? There has to be SOME sort of trick that won't require me to drop a load of code into each instance of text. I'm currently using Actionscript 3.0 with Flash CS4. I'd also love to have a pause button that would also stop any music or sound effects that are playing, but after struggling with that for years, I seriously doubt that's going to happen. I did google this subtitles problem, and search flashkit first. Nothing but VIDEO subtitle stuff, and I'm almost positive it wont work the same for a regular animation.

I am developing an Adobe AIR application which uses both native windows and floating panels. Is is possible to enable the creation of a floating window instead of a native window when a JavaScript window.open() function is called?
It is required that all of the floating windows are contained within one native window, therefore the creation of more native windows is not suitable.
I have used a Custom HTMLHost class in order to enable the creation of a native window but I can't work out a way of creating a MDI window instead. I am using the flexMDI framework for my floating panel interface.

I have a time line of 500 points. On a timeline that wraps around how do I find if the shortest distance between two points is to go forward or backward? Example,I'm on frame 30, the target frame is 100 and the total frames are 500. I know that going it will take 70 frames to get to 100 going forward and 430 to go in reverse but I don't know the codes to figure this out. I'm using ActionScript but I think I would understand the codes if it were written in other professional languages like JavaScript.

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 have a video that is playing in an FLVplayback Component, inside of a MovieClip. I have a cue point in the video about half way through, that triggers a seperate MovieClip (on the Parent timeline). This worked perfectly until I removed the Parent MovieClip, and made it an External SWF. Now the cue point triggers this in the Output window:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label head_fade not found in scene head_fade.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at M_fla::head_intro_7/fl_CuePointHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
[Code]....
Do i have to do anything different now that this is in an external file.

I'm currenlty working on a Flash project where I need to navigate to certain points in an FLV video. I've worked a little with FLV before, and I've worked with cuepoints to trigger other actions/events in Flash, but what I'm looking to do here is when certain events happen in Flash (could be as simple as someone clicking on a button) I need the video to jump to a certain point.
My first thought was to set actionscript cuepoints then have the events in Flash make the video go to those cuepoints, but I can't seem to find any information how to do that. All the information on cuepoints I've been able to dig up talk about using the cuepoints in the video to trigger other actions, not vice-versa.

I'm having great problems getting Javascript to resume a flash file.The flash file loads up and the video is set to autoplay false. For some reason, any Javascript is not recognising the AS3 function. It keeps saying the function is undefined. e.g.
function getFlashMovie(movieName) {
var isIE = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;
return (isIE) ? window[movieName] : document[movieName];
[code]....

JS-to-AS3 callbacks work in kinda asynchronous way right? So for example if I ask SWF to download some file, which may take some time (depending on the size of that file), and while it downloads it, ask it to do some other operation (suppose SWF has several callbacks for various purposes), what happens in this case? Does SWF continue to download file and handle my second request in a different thread maybe, or it crashes, or throws some error? I know this is a good case for some testing, but I wonder if anyone has already done that, or maybe there is public info on the case that I cannot find?

I have a few questions about cue points that I can't answer with my Google skills. Firstly, I am looking into using navigation cue points for playback of an FLV in my Flash project. But the seektocuepoint functions don't seem to play to the cue point, they just skip ahead. I want to actually play through to the actual cue point in the video. Is there a way to do this?
Secondly, I noticed that you can't play FLVs in reverse.
And lastly, is there a way to implement easing when playing and stopping FLVs? I know this sounds odd, but it would sort of be like dropping the playback rate to half just before stopping. Is this possible?

All i want to do is make a video streaming in a video object to stop on a cue point, and play from abother when a button is pushed. It's relatively simple, right? Wrong. Over a hundred $s in how-to books and several hours wasted searching online later and I have nothing. I have checked and re-checked the cuepoints are correct (i made them in flash video encoder CS3) and tried just about everything as far as AS is concerned. Here is my latest attempt: (obmintro is the player instance name, i have the rtmp info in source under player parameters and it plays fine)
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;obmintro.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cp_listener);function cp_listener(eventObject:Object):void{if (eventObject.object.name == "site_end");{ obmintro.pause();
//i have also used stop, stop("obmintro"); and i don't even know what else.}}

I was just wondering whether or not actionscript cuepoints created via the default cuepointManager on a FMS stream be seen by other clients viewing the same video? For example if I were to do this: (where vidVideo is an instance of VideoDisplay in flex 3) vidVideo.cuePointManager.removeAllCuePoints(); var cuePointArr:Array = new Array(); cuePointArr.push({name:"stopClip", cuePointTime, type:"actionscript"}); vidVideo.cuePoints = cuePointArr; Will other clients viewing the same video be affected by these cue points? or are Actionscript cue points maintained only on that stream?

I have built a very simple flash player using the video component and I used cue points in the flv, then I used simple buttons and find cue points code snippets to make my buttons go to a certain part of the movie. All that works very well. Now what I need to do is when a certain que point portion is playing have the button stay in a overstate and once that portion of the video is done or another button is clicked the first button return to upstate and the new portion or the new button have the overstate.
Code below
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint);
function fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint(event:MouseEvent):void {
var cuePointInstance:Object = vid.findCuePoint("ch1");
vid.seek(cuePointInstance.time);

I have an AJAX web service call that returns a chunk of HTML that I then apply to a DIV element on my page.This works fine for any html element except a flash video which comes up with 'Movie not loaded'.I've double-checked the html that is being returned and it's all fine, and it works if I don't use AJAX, but when I use AJAX and then add it using JS it doesn't seem to attempt to load the playlist.

I have a video playing on my page. I want to show and hide some div's when the video reaches a certain point. Lets say hide something on 10th second and show it again on 20th second.I can easily do it in HTML5 with video tag and currentTime attribute but for IE I have to create the same functionality and I think with flash based videos (from YouTube or something like that).Is there a way to detect the current time of a video playing on my website, embeded from YouTube, Metacafe or any other video sharing site?I know I could detect it in flash and make it run some JavaScript function but I don't have flash nor have the skills to do it in AS3.

I have a SWF loaded via a "swfobject.embedSWF()"I use Javascript's methods to pass calls via the flash APIs:call.player.sendEvent('LOAD', theFile)Using a XMLHttpRequest() call via GET to a PHP script I get a file url:Typing the URL into my browser starts the file, but passing the variable to the sendEvent() call does nothing. Why?
var response = http.responseText;
loadFile(response);
player.sendEvent('PLAY');
