Professional :: What Controls Width In Streaming Flash Video
Aug 12, 2010
I need to access and stream flash video stored on a US server. I do so from one of three PCs - all running Windows 7, all with same updates and same version of Flash. Two of them show a given video fine. The third runs the same video but it is clearly truncated on the right and bottom - that is, only part (top left two thirds?) of the video is visible. And two show timecode and the third...doesn't (or its hidden by the truncation). But how can this be? And more importantly, what can I do to make the third PC play streaming video correctly?

I'm porting in an .flv to Flash for the first time. I created the .flv from an .MP4 using Media Encoder CS5, and then opened a new Actionscript 3 .fla in Flash Professional CS5, clicked File > Import > Import Video. Then selected 'Load external video with playback component'. Everything seems to have imported fine, but when I publish the SWF and import it via Dreamweaver CS5 and preview the page, the video is there, but the controls are not. There's just a white box where the controls should be. Also, the video is out of sync with the audio, which I believe is a problem with Media Encoder, not Flash.
Here are some links:

The .FLA
The .FLV
The .SWF

Is there a way to hide the controls on a flash video (flv) until the user scrolls over the video? So the page opens, the video starts playing (still no controls visable) and then when a user scrolls over the video, you then see the controls for the first time. I have searched high and low.

we are developing a flash app that works like a video-chat (form 2 or more users) and streaming ,
Does anybody know if the Flash player for mobile devices will work with this or not? Are there any boundaries?

I'm new to Flash and I'm pretty sure this a dumb question that has been asked many times - but go easy on me as I have searched and searched through and just can't find the answer.
I've created my first animation using a set of digital Jpeg photos and I've figured out the code for inserting this into my web page. It works perfectly and I'm very impressed with the quality of the animation and how small the file is. Now I want to add a simple control bar underneath with Stop, Play, Rewind - the usual stuff you get on YouTube, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.

My question is how do I incorporate playback controls to a Embedded Video that plays with the timeline? I saw how easy it was to add playback components when you import video externally. I figured that I probably need to start by creating my play back components, but then I need code to tell the swf what to do?

When I publish my FLV video using Flash CS3 and the "SkinUnderAll" option...the player controls are not visible unless I change the height & width in the html file Flash created.But, Flash shows the height & width 3-times in the html.
Question-1: Why 3-times? What does each of the 3 Height & Width references do?
Question-2: How should I modify the code to be able to see the entire video and the player controls?
It seems if I change all 3 everything just gets bigger and bigger.
1 - I import it into Flash CS3 on a PC w/XP Pro using... File | Import | Video take all the defaults and choose "Skin Under All" as the player option.
2 - In "Properties" panel at bottom of screen Flash shows the video as 640x480
3 - I then click File | Publish to publish the video. Flash creates all my files for me.
MyVideo.fla
MyVideo.flv
MyVideo.html
MyVideo.swf
SkinUnderAll.swf
AC_RunActiveContent.js
4 - I then put the folder with the files on my website.
5 - The video plays but the player controls are not visible.
6 - I see the Height & Width referenced 3 times in the html file Flash created for me (and none are 640x480, they are 550x400 !)
7 - I try changing the 550x400 to 640x480 in all three places... no good. Even at 1000x1000 the entire player is not visible. Everything just gets larger.
What are each of the 3 references to Height and Width in the html file Flash Creates and which should I change to simply show all the player controls?

I am building a flash video player with a custom UI, and admittedly I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing. I tried altering a skin, but that always comes out wonky due to whatever coding they use. So I'm altering single video components and putting them in the mc what I want them. It looks great, but the problem is that when video goes to full screen, all of the controls dissappear and I can't figure out how to make them show up. How do I get a movie clip to display on top of the video when it goes to full screen in flash AS3?

I thought Flash could play a video without having it not fully loaded first. (even on a normal server)
My SWF is calling the video from the server (I mean the video is not embedded in the SWF but is on the server space) My problem is that the SWF seems to download the video in full before playing it.

I was talking with a friend and we were trying to figure out if it's possible to have people create a bookmark on a streaming video so, if they leave midway they can come back and pick up from where they left off?
If this makes sense and is possible how could you do this? Would it be in the Flash encoding or is it through HTML?
Also, would this be called VideoMarking? I see 2 other posts on here regarding videomarking, sound similar.

We have video cameras from Point Grey Research that are typically used for instrumentation and measuring.To oversimplify, the Flycapture software library they provide essentially captures single frames as 2-dimensional arrays of 16-bit greyscale values. We want to measure and process this information in real time. We also want to take this video, write some simple overlays on it (rectangular outlines, histograms, etc.) and make it available for viewing on a local area network using an ordinary web browser.
That is, we need to programmatically generate a live FLV stream on the fly--where the source of the video is not actually a device, but our program. The resolution and bandwidth requirements are modest; 320x240 30 fps 8 bit-grey = less than three megabytes per second. Some very simple, fast, easy compression would do, and in fact compression is not really needed at all.
I'm puzzled as how to where to start. I've browsed dozens of free and commercial packages, and they all seem to assume that the video source is a device.
The FLV and RTMP specs are intimidating. I can't easily identify any trivial subset (e.g. no compression) that would be easy to implement myself, nor have I found free or inexpensive commercial libraries that would do it for me.

I am trying to publish a video to an RTMP Server but it doesn't publish. It might be a pre-release bug. I am able to play a NetStream but not able to publish one. Is there a sandbox issue? I'm not sure. Because, the FMS RTMP Server will not let a client connect unless it has been downloaded from the same host as the server (something like a sandbox condition)

I am streaming flash video and the dimension of the video is 1280 by 720 (same size as the stage)
but just before the video streams, there is a quick flash of the video (about 320px by 240px) at the top corner of the stage, and then it plays the videos at the correct size (which is 1280 by 720) .... a quick flash is the best way I can explain it.
This is my code:
function clicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
var video:Video = new Video();
addChild(video);
[Code]....
is there anyway I can stop that quick flash of the video .... so when I click on the button, it just plays the video, at the correct size?

I need a flash video player for our public site where users will share videos.The video usage model is similar to youtube as far as video part is concerned.Users will upload and share videos. Users will browse and play all shared videos as well.The videos will be streamed from the server and our app is a .NET/C#/JQuery application.We have 3 options:
1) Either buy a commercial flash player
2) Customize a open source player or use free player and customize its gui
3) Develop our own (time consuming and last resort)
I am required to find a flash video player with these requirements:
Player should work in all major browsers (IE, FF, Chrome, Safari)
Player should have way to inject Advertisement clips when playing a video file
Light weight and easy to integrate
Must support streaming and scale
Plus all other basic features of a flash video player.

I'm have a flash movie where I let the viewer push a button to load an external SWF-which in itself is a video I converted to SWF. Once it loads via an empty movie clip into the main flash movie how can I add video player controls such as volume on the lower part of the stage of the main movie to control the externally loaded SWF?

Im working on a video player, and I have a button for full screen, which function properly, however, the controls that surround it are stretched with the video when full screen is active. So I've been attempting to find ways to detect when fullscreen is active to change the controls, but nothing seems to work. I've used both FullScreenEvent and Event.RESIZE. Everytime, it can detect when it goes full screen (aka a black box is placed on the stage) but when i go back to normal screen, it doesnt detect that activity (and the black box remains).
Please see code below. I am trying to do this all inside a class which i will have an instance of on the main stage.
Code:
import flash.display.*
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.events.FullScreenEvent;
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
[Code] .....

I have a video player that plays videos loaded via XML and selected using a combbox. I just got the play and pause buttons to work. What I'm attempting to do now is be able to hit next or previous buttons and select the next or pevious video from the XML file, and update the displayed/selected file in the combobox, my thought was to somehow set the previous/next buttons to directly manipulate the combobox, but nothing I've tried so far has worked.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.data.DataProvider;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

I have a problem with an embedded flash video not playing to the end, it stops around half way It is a 4 minute video with sound, the FLV file is around 24Mo This is a normal server not a flash streaming server .
I have at least 10 other sites on line with a flash video on the home page and they all work fine.on the same server.only difference is that this file is about 10 Mo bigger on average.
I contacted the company where my server is hosted and they say that it looks like a java script problem but I am using flash 8 pro standard <object> no java script to detect version etc.[code]...

I have a simple flash video player that streams the video from a streaming media server. The stream plays fine and I have no problems with playing the video and doing simple functions. However, my problem is that on a mouse over of the video, I have the controls come up and when I do a seek or scrub on the video, I get little weird boxes that show over the video - like little pockets - of the video playing super fast (you can basically see it seeking) until it gets to the point it needs to be at and then these little boxes disappear.
