My video is a bit jerky at the moment at the beginning. Can I somehow have my adobe swf player load up a generously sized buffer before it starts to play, or is that not the issue? Later on in the video, the jerkiness is not an issue.

I have made a video player based on the code from Lee's tutorial and I have modified it with help from code found in this forum. The video is paused from start and thats fine, but the bufferClip shows all the time (like forever) until i press the play button, I just want the bufferClip to be visible for as long the video is buffering.
Code: Select allns.setBufferTime(4);
var firstPlay:Boolean = true;
ns.onStatus = function(info){

I have created a bit of flash that buffers and loads an flv which plays up to a certain cue point and then seeks back 2 seconds ina loop, Got that OK.Now what I want to do is make certain movieclips visible and fade in when the video has initially buffered but heres the problem, when the video loops back it re-does these actions of fading in the movieclips as if it has just buffered again, but I want it to only fade the clips in when it has initially buffered not when it re-loops.[code]
View 9 RepliesI want to play an f4v file in flash, however when I play it I want it to already be loaded and buffered before I send the commands to play it.
my purpose is to have some events going on in the SWF movie then it immediately switches to playing a video but it has to be very synchronised. I dont want to play the video and have the person waiting ont he video to load.. I want to load the video in the background beforehand... then when it's time for the video sequence I send the commands to play it and everything is good to go.
Is it possible to have a preloader for a external FLV while the user waits for the buffer to load?The code I used is here: (I did not use the component panel but a video instance from the library)
// Create a NetConnection object:
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
//Create a local streaming connection
netConn.connect(null);

I'm having a sound object being loaded. And I want that for as long as it is buffering to have it written in a textfield "loading..." and when it starts playing to write in that textfield the name of the song. And i want this to happen everytime the buffer needs to load and everytime the song resumes play state.
View 1 RepliesI have some flash .FLV videos that I've posted to a clients website using the built-in Flash skins (Halo is what I'm using) My client would like to be able to see a moving buffer of how much video has downloaded so the viewers will know when the video is about to clip.Standard stuff but not sure if the built-in flash player for DW has that option Can anyone tell me if it does or not What would be the best way to get a buffer indicator (not pre-loader) into a flash player if not?
View 2 RepliesA website I've recently encoded has HTML5 video that falls back to a Flash video for IE browsers. The MP4 video is played through a SWF file with an FLVPlayBack component, and works perfectly on my company's staging environment. However, once we moved the files to the client's live site, the video's buffering does not work properly. Instead of showing the video controllers and progress bar as the video loads, nothing is shown until the video file is completely downloaded (about 50MB)Here are the settings used for the SWF file and FLVPlayBack Component:
FLVPlayBack:
autoPlay: off
autoRewind: on

Let's assume that I can't script the loaded swf, nor can the loaded one script the loader swf.
I was attempting to set frame rate to 0, and wait after all swfs are loaded, and set frame rate back. But I found when I set the frame rate to 0, I could not receive the complete event! And it's weird that i can still receive UI events...
Is there a way to load several swfs and start them together?
I want to load several xml files at start up, so far I have managed to load one xml, but I'm getting puzzled how to load several xml files, heres my code on first keyframe:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var xml1:XML;
// how to load this XML(one below) - with url "secondXML.xml" ??
var xml2:XML;
[Code]....
When XML has been succesfully loaded - it goes to Main keyframe, where the rest of the code is.
basically done creating this flash file, is just for some reason the preloader doesn't appear until 80% load..

I have attached the file for reference but would like to know how to start the mc 1936 when the file is published and the swf is first opened. I can get this to do this HOWEVER I cannot get the 1936 to then respond correctly as per the actionscript IE close when 1938 is clicked? 1936 keeps opening and I cannot get this to ONLY do this ONCE when first opened.

I am making a big big big game, and I came across a huge problem. My game has over 60 unique units, which mean that the library of my .fla file is REALLY huge. Flash just can't handle it anymore, and crashes every 5 min. I can't optimize it(already did) and I can't cut through the content. I think I found a solution: I will load my units from external .swf. Sooo, the thing is, I want to load these swf only once, at the start of the game. Here is how it goes: I divided my units in many packets, and set every unit to be "exported for Actionscript" in the library. This way, ill load the .swf and its library at the beginning of the game and I will be able to attach the units MC over runtime.

We're trying to implement a load-balancing mechanism between FMS hosts in a virtual "farm". The mechanism we're using is to have the FMSs periodically send "load" data (along with a timestamp) to an application server. That server will then use that load information and timestamp to detect when an FMS server has gone down and to make stream assignments to FMSs. Right now, I've implemented this code via a setInterval() in live/main.asc.
I've added a "return false" to Application.onAppStop() to (according to the docs, I haven't tested this yet) keep the server from shutting down an idle instance. How do I get the interval running before the first request hits the application (and forces the load of the application)? I've tried putting the setInterval in onAppStart() and as a global. In both cases, it only gets executed after application is loaded. Any way to force an application to load (via a config file parameter or local command-line)?
I'm new to flash and action script 2, and I am trying to load an external movie and have it start at frame 3. It's the start at frame 3 that I'm having trouble with. The following code does not work:

I have tried gotoAndStop and gotoAndPlay, but both somehow disable other actions I have setup on the timeline, like on the website I'm making, 3 buttons, "Home / About / Info" it disables buttons from switching frames, very odd.

View 1 RepliesI have an FLV embedded in a ColdFusion page on a client's intranet site. This FLV plays perfectly on the test server. It also plays when the link to the video goes to the test server, rather than the intranet server the page is on. But when I set it up so the page pulls the video from the intranet server itself, the video will start, play for a few seconds, and then freeze. Sometimes (not always) after a minute or so it will play for a few more seconds, but then it will freeze again and that's it.
The file is embedded using FlowPlayer, but I've tried a different player (OSFlvPlayer) with the exact same result - plays on the test server, starts and freezes on the intranet server - so it's not the player. It's obviously the server, but what can I check? The MIME type is correct. Actually we tried it on both video/x-flv and flv-application/octet-stream (I saw the latter on a support site somewhere) and changing the value had no effect.
I don't know what happened but a few days a go when I tried running flash professional it wont start.
It shows the "Loading screen" when it's about to open the main windows it hangs. It shows the main windows all white. And mouse cursor is "processing", when I try to close windows says the program it's not responding.
I tried Unnistalling the flash profesisonal and installing it again but no changes.
Last time I worked with flash was January 23, 2012. It was working fine, but this morning I tried running the program and it won't start. Same with encore, it just doesn't start. Is this due to a windows update? Does anybody know of a workaround to this problem?
View 1 RepliesThis one is tough to diagnose. I built an animated jigsaw app that pulls in a dynamic .swf that can be viewed here: [URL] It works perfect in Chrome. Works in FF 3.5.5 until I start reloading. Doesn't even work in IE7. Could be a embed problem in the HTML. Could be something I did in flash. [I can get more into the methods I used] [for those that only see it working or don't see it working] There should be an orange animation of a morphing shape cutout into jigsaw shaped pieces and a start button. When it doesn't load, the animation, nor start button display. And the menu is slightly messed up.
View 2 Replieshow to make a video start playing at a specified point in the middle of the video rather than from the beginning. Not sure if it's something that easily can be done in Dreamweaver or if it's involved with the flash settings.
View 21 RepliesI created a simple animation that is 90 frames long. How can I start and stop it at specific keyframes so it takes 3 separate mouse clicks to complete. Example: a picture is on my website. When you click it, the first 30 frames play and then stop. A 2nd click makes the next 30 frames play and a 3rd click makes the last 30 frames play.
View 6 RepliesI'm having a problem with Flash crashing when I try to start it. I first noticed the problem when I had a fairly simple scrolling text fla that I tried to open but after a few seconds of the document being open spinning beach ball (Mac) would come up and a few seconds later that app crashes. I've tried to open three separate Flash documents as well as just opening the program and making a new document. Every time, the result being the spinning beach ball and the app crashes after about 5 seconds.I've updated all my Adobe software. What else can I try? Deleting preferences, if so,where are those located?
View 2 RepliesI have a few problems with Adobe Flash. Please refer to this image: [URL]. First, I would like to make a movieclip begin somewhere else (so that I may jump to it later). But when I preview what I currently have in my timeline, my movie clip just flashes on and off with Layer 1 (the image on Layer 1 flashes too), rather than what should be a delay of nothing (but Layer 1 flashing) until frame 20 is reached, at which point the movie clip on Layer 3 should play. Secondly, I do not wish for the movie clip to stop at the end of the second keyframe (even though it's currently not really even playing). How can I have it play all the way out?
