Professional :: Create "transition" While FLV Videos Load Before And During "chaining" Or "looping"
Mar 18, 2010
OK, I now have Action Script 3 that will work for chaining FLV videos... or Looping an FLV video.
But when one video ends there is a short pause before the next one loads and starts... the progress bar for the Flash Player displays diagional green lines... and it is simply not a smooth transistion.
This happens when chaining or when looping.
And, even though I'm doing a progressive download... where the video starts very quickly... and plays while it downloads... there is a short delay at the start. That is not as noticable as the break between videos or when looping back to replay the same video.
The Question:
Is there a way to create a visual transistion... say a rotating object... or something to keep the motion/action going during that short interval?
I've seen something like this before... like two (broken line) circles rotating in opposit directions... or something.
It show the "busy" status or whatever I guess.

I have a 30 frame flash movie with a Bitmap image for a background and a Graphic with a Wipe-In Transition, but when I play the SWF file in Flash Player, the movie loops. Is there a way to stop this? It has to be in .swf format, can't be .html.

watch this Flash file I've created that includes a video.
[URL]
When importing the .flv file of the video into the Flash project, I chose the imbedding method. I realize this increases the size of the overall .swf file when doing so. On the first watch (before the file is cached) it tends to pause while loading and/or jumps. I've tried other methods (like choosing the file has already been deployed to a web server, and play methods such as progressive download from a web server, stream from a Flash video streaming service, and stream from a Flash communication server). When choosing those other methods, the video loads nicely but the audio sounds a bit more distorted while playing. So, at present, I'm using the embed video in SWF and play in timeline option. Does anyone have any other suggestions to improve the video buffer speed, performance and the overall loading and quality of the Flash file? I'm still using Flash Professional 8.

I have four flv videos (video1.flv, video2.flv,video3.flv and video4.flv) and I want to play them one after the other. When video4.flv is finished I need the movie to start playing video1.flv again and the rest after it, an endless loop. How can I do that? I'm using CS3 ,AS2 and Flash Player 9.

I am working on a project for a company where I need to have a series of videos, between 3-4, loop at the end of their play
Here is my current code that plays an flv file, and loops the file continuously.
var vid:Video = new Video(550, 120);
addChild(vid);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
[Code]....
So basically I need to be able to have 'MyMovie1.flv' play, then 'MyMovie2.flv' play, then 'MyMovie3.flv' play and so forth till after they have all played, it loops back to MyMovie1.flv automatically.
There will be no way to know the total length of all movies, as movies in the future will be switched in and out changing the overall length of the 'playlist', but it is acceptable to have a predetermined number of movies such as 3 or 4 to work with. They will all be .flv files, and the same resolution.

I just need some direction or insight as to how others might handle this task. I lack the necessary AS3 skills, but still think it's overly complicated for being such a simple task. I have a set of images (say 10) on stage. I need to loop through this set over and over again... each image fades in... holds for some time... then fades out as the next image fades in. But each image has its own website link when it has focus. So far I've encountered trouble when dealing with alpha & visible settings. It's like you can't have one without the other and vice versa. Visible allows separate links to hold but only alpha allows the tween motion. All of my code is on frame 1.

I am trying to create a page transition that will play a movieCLip transition into a page. and then it stops then when another button is pressed, it will play that transition out while loading the appropriate one. In the attached FLA, if you click on the red button first, the blue transition plays,
--red button code--
mybutton1.onRelease=function(){
_root.transitionClip.play();
}
and then stops on the stage. When you click the green button second,
--green button code --
mybutton2.onRelease=function(){
_root.transitionClip.play("out");
_root.transitionClip2.play();
}
it works correctly/ Playing out of the blue Transition and into the Red transition. However if I click it again it does the opposite, and just keep alternating.
If I add the
_root.transitionClip2.play("out");
to the first button then, nothing works right. I will eventually have more buttons, and may need to use a variable to control which "out" transitions is played, but how do I get the buttons to do this?I just want it to exit the current movie clip and play the "in" section of the desired clip.

i have looked everywhere for a tutorial on this - i have tried writing, and re-writing codes....i just cant get it. is there any tutorial i overlooked? here is what im looking to do - NO SHORTCUTS: have my main file that loads the buttons, my external swf container, my intro animations, and my swf "out" and "in" animations when a button is clicked i want it to point me to specific frame labels. i will have an "out" and "in" frame label and which will be the locations of the transitional starting points i want it to play the "out" transition, than unload the current swf, than play the in transition, than load the swf of the button that was clicked i want the animations to all be done using frame labels all within the MAIN swf file.... i have had no luck doing this....and i do NOT like the tween class....

I created a movie clip which plays ok. But when it ends there is a slight jump, if you will, when it goes back to frame 1 to begin playing again. Does anyone know how to make the transition unnoticeable from the last frame of a movie clip to the first frame of a movie clip?

Okay so I am trying to load external swfs which load videos dynamically.
I can load the swfs into the parent fla fine (if I remove all the code and just place a circle or something on the stage of the swf), and the swfs are also loading their respective videos correctly. But when I try to load the external swfs, if they contain any casting related code in them, I'm getting an error
[AS]TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at swf1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[/AS]
Is there some specific method to casting within external swfs?
My code for loading the videos is this:
[AS]var vc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
vc.connect(null);
var vs:NetStream = new NetStream(vc);
[Code].....

I have a video playback system that runs in a loop as it traverses the playlist of videos, doing something like this:On playback start:
-check for pre-roll ad, play ad if set to true; otherwise:
-check for branding video bumper, play bumper if set to true; otherwise:
-play video
On playback end:
-check for post-roll ad, play ad if true; otherwise:
-reset video
The way I have it coded/hacked works fine, but is less than ideal, especially as I plan to build on it. It looks something like this:[code]So, what's a better way to handle this? For an interactive timeline/map I've made in the past, there were a number events that were triggered at certain times during audio narration. Each event was unique (some were animations, others were text labels that appeared, etc), but I unified them as classes with a common 'time' property and common public go() function, and threw them into an array. As the narration played back I would check the 'time' property of the next object in the array, and once it matched I would call the go() function for that event, increment the phase position (so I know which array index to check next), and continue.

I'm attempting to take a process that previously ran multiple remote object calls in parallel and make them run in serial.I know it's a hackish approach (bandaid!), but so far my approach has been to take this for-loop that started each parallel request:[code]Where _pause_queue is a private global boolean for the class. In the fault-handler and response-handler functions, it is set back to false, so that the infinite where-loop is released and the for loop will continue.This is functional, but the UI only updates after the while-loop ends, which causes the negative side effect that it looks like the application is hung while waiting for a response.
Is there something I can put inside the while loop to allow flash to update the display? In VB (ugh!) I would use DoEvents, but I don't know of an equivalent for Actionscript.Alternately, is there a way to add a simple queueing system short of completely rewriting the application? This is legacy code and I'm on a tight deadline so I'd like to modify it as little as possible. (Otherwise I would rewrite it from the ground up and use Swiz to get the Event Chaining.)

ok so im trying to create a sort of SMOOTH transition between swfs.
the problem im having is, targeting a specific label when i need it.
what i mean is, i can target it fine by tpecasting my external as a MC, but...it doesnt give me the desired effect.
for example, i want it so that when a button is pressed, go and play the "outro" frame inside the external swf, at the end of that same external swf, theres an " end" label, when that label is reached. something happens etc.
my problem is that when i hit the button, at the time of that event firing, the "end" is null or rather undefined because it hasnt reached there yet and i get an error or if i do a if/else statement, then i get the else part firing off since again, "end" isnt reached yet when the button is pressed.
i dont know how to make it fire when the "end" label is reached.
i tried while loops but...no good lol. thing froze flash for a bit until it did fire, by then it was a mess lol.
heres my code:
Code:
stop();
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("indexCoontentLoad.swf");
[Code].....
ive added a " here i get lost" comment to indicate the part im lost in/cant figure out how to write.
overall, what i hope to achieve is that when the "end" label is reached, something happens. else, just keep playing until it is reached.

But the problem with this is that even with creationPolicy set to all not all items seem to get initialized. This causeses the tweener animation to lag when clicking the "register" button the first time. after the first click, the animation is smooth.

I'm trying to emulate the transition effect from the site venuliving.com (I'd post the link but I don't have enough posts).
When you click through the various sections, coloured bars expand and move across the site, they hold while subtly moving and then shrink out once the section has loaded.
how this sort of thing is achieved? I've been considering creating the whole thing using coloured rectangles and TweenMax but I'm wondering if this was created dynamically in AS3? Or if it's a customization of some existing transition?
