I am trying to embed a video file into my flash project and I want to to play till the end and jump to a different frame in the timeline. I tried to emport the video into flash and it says that the file is not supported. Can I not do it or do I need to convert the mpeg file into some sort of fla file?

I have Background layer, Bkg_Image layer & Video layer. I have embeded the flv movie on Video layer. Though on stage it shows all the layers, but when I test the movie it shows only Background layer & Video layer. I can't see the Bkg_Image layer.
The Actions layer has external swf loading AS3 which is working fine. Only the problem with Bkg_Image layer which is imprortant for me.
When I test movie, I see as in the following snapshot (Just the Background_Image & Video):
I have a video that I've embedded into a project by means of linking it from my server, where it lives (not embedding it into the actual project) and I cant for the life of me find a way to get the video to continually loop when it finishes. Any looping meathod I've found so far using AS3 only loops the basic animations in the movie, not the video.
View 1 Replieswe are doing a seamless interactive video-game-video project, but are having optimization problems. Because the client wants a full-screen option for both the video and game segments, our file size is too big. Any advice on how to minimize load time yet retain a relatively high-quality image standard? The h.264 codec would help with image quality, but there are licensing issues, and we need the transperent alpha channel for the video segments.

View 2 RepliesI'm creating a project in flex builder but it's not using the flex framework, it's just pure actionscript.
At the moment I have some bitmap resources embedded for drawing things, but I'd like a little animation and thought I could create swf animations for them in flash and use the [Embed()] thing to embed them in the actionscript project.
This works perfectly well for me, however I'm a little concerned about efficiency and how well this approach will scale when my project gets larger.
Does anyone know if there are any efficiency implications to embedding maybe 20 or 30 swf files, or do they get efficiently integrated into the main swf file? Most of the animations are really simple and I could probably redo them in actionscript if needed but it's a lot easier just to draw them in flash and embed them.
The Flash IDE is capable of embedding many types of uncompressed sound files, including wav, and offers optional compression when publishing.However,the [Embed] tag, only seems to allow embedding of mp3 files.Is it truly impossible to embed an uncompressed wav file,or am I missing some magic, undocumented mimeType?I was hoping for something like:
[Embed source="../../audio/wibble.wav" mimeType="audio/wav"]
...but I get no transcoder registered for mimeType 'audio/wav'.It's possible to embed wav or other format as an octet-stream and parse at runtime,but that's pretty heavy handed I think. I'm surprised that even though the Flash IDE can embed uncompressed sound data,[Embed] cannot, given that the swf spec can contain uncompressed sound data.
I'm all very new to Flash! I'm a Designer. I recently out sourced a flash project and now my client needs it updating. My project consists of a music mixing desk. You press a button and video pops up. The buttons are in the stage. When pressed, this triggers a movie clip which loads a FLV player. SIMPLE! ([URL] - to see the site in action!) I have a simple flash gallery [URL]. I have put the SWF, image folder and XML in the root. I have tried embedding the SWF gallery into my Flash Project by importing it into the library and dragging it to where video content usually lives (FLV player). It doesn't work. I've tried other techniques (loadMovie etc). But I'm a bit fuzzy on these methods.

I have been trying to embed a font into a project I am working and its just not happening. I am having 2 problems first I am trying to embed a font that I do not have installed on my machine (Helvetica Neue Bold), I do have a copy of the otf file though. As far as I know what I have tried should work however when I run the swf I only get Times New Roman. From the enumerated fonts I can see the font has embedded but it just wont show. Secondly if I replace the Helvetia font with one I do have on my machine (Arial for example) the text displays with the correct font but if I then set embedFonts = true the text disappears.
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

View 2 RepliesNo matter whether you embed a flash video using Flash Satay, swfobject, or some other method, there are a number of parameters that can be passed to the embedded video. I'd like this to be a community wiki for the following questions: What parameters can be used to embed a flash video? How can the parameters be accessed via ActionScript?

View 2 RepliesI am having trouble getting a function to work within flash. I basically am creating a video where the intro video plays through then the user is prompted with 3 choices to select which video will play next. I am using keyboard input to make the selection. I have the keyboard input capturing working, pretty basic, but I am having trouble getting it to switch to say scene 2 (where I have another video).
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
[Code] .....
And I get a compiler error stating "Scene 1, Layer 'content', Frame 1, Line 11 1120: Access of undefined property event.
I've created a new layer in the scene 1 and put that code in and everything compiles fine. I created scene 2 and imported a video into it from the library but the video plays and does not respond to any key input and the output is not showing the trace any longer. Enter does work to pause and play the video though.
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, reportKeyDown);
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER){
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2");

I am currently trying to make a Flash website for my cousin's business, and his website should feature a portfolio gallery to display the work he has done (He is a contractor). I am trying to use the SlideshowPro plug-in which generates a very nice-looking Flash gallery that is about 50 times nicer than the one he is using on his website at the moment. One of the big things I like about SSP is that it offers a full-screen picture viewing mode, which would allow potential customers of his to see work he has done better than they are currently seeing.
However, whenever I publish the website to test it and make sure everything is working okay, I go to the Portfolio page and test SSP in full screen. Once I come back from full screen, the gallery remains on top of the screen on every other page of the website. The audio also does this (It can play audio in the background while looking through the galleries you set up). Since I am somewhat new to Flash, I am not sure why it is doing this. Perhaps someone else has encountered this and has a fix or workaround that I could use.

I have created a flash movie using actionscript 3 and an xml file with a list of images for a slideshow. After clicking publish, I can view the slideshow by previewing the html file it creates for you. However, I want to embed this flash movie in a different web page. When I try to add it in Dreamweaver, by dragging and dropping the swf file into the page, a flash placeholder is generated, but the movie does not play when previewed. It is just blank white space.
Now I watched the Tom Green tutorials on "flash the easy way" and my flash (CS4 professional) did NOT generate the AC_RunActiveContent.js files. I did find and download the file and manually added it to my Scripts folder. Still no joy.
I will note that the html file that embeds the flash video is in a different directory than the movie itself. Surely this cannot be the issue, otherwise people's websites would be incredibly messy with multiple flash videos. I am trying to put all the flash movies in their own child directories of a /flash directory to keep them neat and organized.
I am not sure what to do next. How do you make the dang thing play on a web page that is in another directory?
I have 1 swf file which generated through 3rd party tool.Now I want to embed this file into empty flash file and want to save as new, I tried with following options,
1) import option ( File > Import ) but it is importing only Images and symbols. I want my original file as it in new file.
2) loader.load(), but this will load my external file at runtime only and to work smoothly it require both the files.
I want same but in design time, so I can add some extra functionality to it.Is it possible to embed external swf file as it is in new flash file in CS4?
I just upgraded to Flash CS5. Font embedding is entirely different than it was in CS4. I've been looking for examples online but none seem to show me a solution that matches what I need.
In the project I'm working on, code changes the font a text box uses based on region and language. To keep file size down I created separate swf files with the fonts embedded. That way I only download the font I need. The way I did this and the code I used in CS4 doesn't seem to work anymore.
I'm working on adding a small preview video player to a flash project I'm creating. I've successfully created an actionscript 3-based video player before, so my code is pretty much adapted from that. However, though the code executes successfully (seemingly), I can't see the video anywhere.
Code:
private function buildVidPreview(page:Array):void {
vidPreviewa.x=stage.mouseX;
Tweener.removeTweens(vidPreviewa);
Tweener.addTween(vidPreviewa, {alpha:1, time:1});
setupPreviewVid(page);

have been making a digital portfolio that I plan on putting up as a website. Once before the project has gotten very large (at the time 500megs). Now this originally large project had gotten to the point where it was telling me there wasn't enough memory. What I did to fix this was copy and paste all the frames from each scene into several new projects and then piece those new projects together to remake my complete project.
I am now doing this again but at this point piecing back the last scene of mine is taking up too much memory. I have 4 gigs of memory on a 3.06 GHz intel core 2 duo imac. first off, should this be happening? Should 4 ghz be enough? second, it appears that flash projects tend to compile a lot of baggage; is this true? Thirdly, is there any way I can fix this without buying two more 4 gig memory cards?
