I have a timeline that contains a video track and an audio track. I have created a working play button and pause button, but cannot get a seek bar or volume control to work. I cannot use ActionScript 3.0 because I have the video embedded into the timeline since I have hotspots throughout the video. How can I create a seek bar using behaviors/actions with actionscrip 2.0 to control the video/audio?
View 18 RepliesI have the seek bar component on my stage and need to be able to use it to seek through the timeline just like any other video player. However, I am not using this to control a FLV movie, but just need it to control where I can seek through my animation.
View 4 RepliesI have a client who wants me to create a flash presentation (interactive - non-video) and they want the presentation to contain a standard seekbar and volume control at the bottom (as you would see when watching a video) but in my case these controls will not be controlling a video, they will instead allow you to scrub through the playback timeline and control the volume of audio in the timeline.
View 2 RepliesMy big question is how to access the instance of the "SeekBarHandle" of the seekbar component which is created at runtime? I have a AS3 project (flashplayer 9) with a FLVPlayback component and custom FLV controls, partially build from standard FLV control components (play/pause component, stop component, seekbar component, volumecontrol component). The FLV control components are added at 'root' level of the project. What I'm trying to do is to switch the visiblity of the custom FLV controls where the seekbar and volumebar are the party poopers because of the on runtime created handle bars.
I read many many threads about people trying to access the instances of the handle bars but for the most of us out there with no luck. I know that the instance of the handle bar is created at the same level as the instance of the seekbar component but I can't trace/access/find the instance of the handle bar. NOTE: I don't want to add the seekbar component to a container mc/sprite because of the changing width of the seekbar. When I do it's disformed because by the scaling of the parent.

I have an elearning course that I make flash lessons for and, surprise!!! I am new with AS3. I use a moveable/clickable seekbar in the lessons that scrubs the main timeline. The problem I am having is that I am not able to put my script into custom classes due to my skill level, so I put my AS3 code into the timeline as I do my timeline animations. AS3 code only runs when the first frame is entered, if that frame is skipped with the seek bar then that code is not ran. I have AS3 code that runs my template controls - seek/scrubber bar, volume, mute etc. that loads on first frame of project after preloader, but I use AS3 code throughout the timeline for some tweens, user interactions, links etc.. How can I combine usage of the seek/scrub bar with AS3 code in the timeline?
View 1 RepliesI've created a site in CS4/AS3 (my first site, so I'm still pretty new at Flash and especially AS3). The site contains a number of embedded movieclips. For each movieclip, the user needs to be able to control the playback. I've created a play/pause button that works but I cannot figure out how to use the seekbar component so that the user can move around within the movieclip. Is the seekbar component only for manipulating video files? If so, how might I go about creating a seekbar-type feature for movieclips?

I've been looking for a tutorial to create a timeline scrubber (not animating specific movie clips, but actually a scrubber that can move along different keyframes of a timeline that has a series of images on it).I found a bunch of these (scrubber controlling specific movie clips): http:[url]....but nothing that allows you to just scrub back and forth on the whole timeline in the exported swf.

using an FLV, with SeekBar component...works fantastic, but the scrubber clashes with my cuepoints when dragging along the timeline. So i want the scrubber to be inactive. Tried everything but can't get it to disable.disable this, I've looked everywhere, seems a few people have asked here but with no solid response
View 3 RepliesI would like to add a timer that keeps track of total time and also current time that runs next to my seek bar component for my flash movie. How can I do this? For example: 1:11 | 2:04 ... the 1:11 displays the current time of the movie and the 2:04 would represent the total time of the video.
View 20 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how I can add a seekbar to my netstream.I have the duration of the flv through metadata and the current time of the stream, but I can't understand how I should connect them to pass a position to a seek handler. And allso to be able to drag the handler to positions in the stream.
View 1 RepliesBasically I have a FLV that has a custom seekbar and seekbarhandle that you can see in the below image. The seekbar and seekbarhandle are under the layer "seekbuttons". Everything works perfectly but when I fade the seek bar out at the end of the FLV the seekbutton doesn't disappear instead it stays on the stage which shouldn't be possible cause I put a blank keyframe where it is.
View 13 RepliesI have a quick question regarding cue points. I am creating a file (flash CS3 using AS2) that includes an FLV video with cue points. The video is an FLVPlayback component (vs. a video object), and the cue points have been embedded in the FLV using the Flash Video Encoder. The video is a simple video capture of a person presenting a slide show. The video does not include the slides that this person is presenting. When the video plays and the cue points are reached, I have set slides (not part of the video, just separate elements on the stage) to appear on the stage, and change as each cue point is reached. The slides display at the appropriate point in the presentation, and this seems to work well.
The issue comes in with the scrubber. I am using the SeekBar component to show progress through the video and to allow the end user to scrub through the video, if they wish. However, when they scrub, the slides do not change. Meaning, if the user moves the scrubber forward or backward, the slide does not change to match the new location of the playhead, so the slides are out of synch with the presenter in the video. Is there a way to "read" the current cue point, based on the location of the playhead, so that the appropriate slides display at the proper scrubbed time in the movie?
I have a seekBar component that controls a video clip. I want the seekbar to be invisible (alpha = 0) when the video first comes up,a nd then when someone rolls over the video, have the seekbar tween to alpha = 100; I got the seekbar to do this, but the handle on the seekbar is always visible and I can;t figure out how to control it. The id of the handle is SeekBarHandle, but when do something like SeekBarHandle._alpha = 0, it still doesn't work. I have searched the forums for an answer and can't figure it out. Has anyone had this problem before and know how to control the handle on the seekbar?

The problem is, when I move the scrubber, it doesn't load the duration accurately wherever I scrub it. If that makes sense? Is there something that I'm doing wrong? The width of the SeekBar is 728px.
How to add clickable video seekbar
when click on some area of the seek bar it should take the video seek to that position.[code]...
I used a template from adobe and modified it to fit my needs. Instead of one long video with cuepoints, I have several videos that I want to switch when the buttons are clicked.verything works great except when the user seeks beyond the buffer (progressive download).hen this happens, everything breaks. All of the buttons, playback, play/pause... everything. You have to refresh the page and start over.My quesiton is, does the seekBar need a custom eventHandler? Shouldn't it work on it's own? Here is my code:

display.playPauseButton = play_btn;display.stopButton = stop_btn;display.seekBar =

View 1 RepliesI have an AS2 swf that loads FLV videos into a FLVPlayback component and attaches a seekBar component. When the video stops I unload the seek bar from the screen and set the FLVPlayback.seekBar = null. When another video is to be played I set up the seek bar again by attaching the seekBar component to the stage and assigning FLVPlayback.seekBar = newSeekBarInstance.

What Im noticing is that sometimes the seek bar is removed from the screen and sometimes it isnt? I cant seem to notice any pattern here. Has anyone had similar problems? Do I need to force garbage collection?
I'm fiddling around with the YouTube ActionScript 3.0 Player API. It's pretty cool and simple but one thing i can't seem to get to work, nor find any info on the web:
I want to use the SeekBar component with the Youtube API. I tried this, which works with the FLVPlayback component:
var seek:MovieClip = new SeekBar();
player.seekBar = seek;
my issue is with flash FLVplakback control with a seekBar attached to it. example can be found here. for some unknown reason when i try to rewind using the seekbar, it produces a loud noise at the start. whereas if i let it play out the entire movie (mp4) and then play again using the play button it does not produce such noise. in case i rewind using the seebBar after playback has completed even then it does not produce the noise.

View 1 RepliesI'm using the standard flvplayback component v.2.5.0.26
When I load a flv file in it, all UI buttons and buffering work correctly with the exception of the seekbar - when I drag the seekbar handle forward, the video doesn't go to that position, after I release the handle, it jumps back to the beginning of the video and it keeps playing from there
Does anyone know if it happens because of the specific flv file or I need to add some AS3 code to the seekbar to make it work?
I have a FLVPlayback component with an FLV. I have it setup so that when the FLV reaches a cuepoint at the end, a button appears to rewind and play the video, and remove the button. This all works fine. My question is if there is a way to remove the button (removeChild) if the user goes back in the video using the seekbar in the FLVPlayback component?
View 2 RepliesI have been looking all over for a solution, and I find a lot of posts that ask the question, but sadly no answers.
I am using an flv (videoClip) with embedded event cue points. These cue points bring on bullet points based on where the video is in the playback. Sadly when I use the seekbar the bullets will stay on until the next cue point is reached. I think I am getting close, but am hoping someone can help me finish it out!

I am customzining a Flash FLV Player skin and everything is basically done and working according to play.My two questions are the seek bar appears to be shorter than the movie length despite the fact that I expanded both instances of it on the FLA of the skin itself?The second question is -- what AS could I use to display the time code of the movie as "0:00" if I wanted to have that appear too?
View 2 RepliesFor some reason this answer really eludes me, and my googlefu fails... Is it possible to customize a seekbar component so that the handle is a simplebutton (ie up/over/down states), or would I have to write my own seekbar for this functionality?
