Professional :: Loading A Flv Video From A Remote Location?
Jul 16, 2010
I'm trying to access a flv file on a remote server from swf. It works perfectly from my local machine going to the remote folder. But, when I upload it to my web host, it doesn't load the remote flv. I'm guessing there's some kind of permission issue on my web host. I have a crossdomain.xml file in the root dir with the following:
At a certain point in the app flow, a m4v video is streamed from a remote location via rtmp. This works well, except for two little problems:
1. In very rare cases, the video starts playing, but you see no images and only hear the audio. Seems like this happens more often with Chrome, but that is only a guess.
2. In the first frame or so of the video, you hear a noise in the audio. It really is very short, but still a nuisance. This chirp is not there when viewing the same video with VLC or QuickTime player. It IS there when viewing with the Windows Media Player.
Are there any known problems with codecs and the flash as3 video streaming (via NetStream/NetConnection)? The video is composed by using the ffmpeg library (one mess of a library, I can tell you...) to bring together a live-rendered video (using a 3D Engine) and a pre-created *.wav (which does not have the chirp).
I installed the update to Flash 8 that allows for remotedebugging, and I had it all set up and working over the past weekor two. But, all of a sudden it's not working for me anymore.I wasable to access it by right clicking my movie from within thebrowser and selecting "Debugger", but for some reason the optionisn't available anymore. I've rechecked my settings according tothe livedocs, and ensured the swd file is in the same dir as theswf, but no dice.
I'm trying for making out application for vod.I want to know how a user can make his file readable by the AMS for vod when file is at different PC and AMS( includes swf and HTMl files) is at different PC.
how to give a relative path in URLRequest paramate and download that file.I found it from this particular stack overflow post .now if If give my machine's relative path, C:/sample/DefectList.xls it works.Now I have to access an xls file kept in the server machine or any other machine,say my team mate's machine. The ip address is 172.17.196.124 and the location is C:/sample/test.xls.I tried
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest"file://172.17.196.124/c:/sample/test.xls");
But it throws the Error#2032.How to mention a remote location as a relative path?
I created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?
Can I develop a Flash AS3 download swf that will let a user select a location on their hard drive to download files to and then start the download of multiple files (in the same way I can do with upload)? Or should I zip all the multiple files first and download zipped files to local disk. My users will want to download potentially hundreds of images from a server to local disk so I dont want them to have to click save for each one. Will AS3 let me pass an array of filenames and store the location that the user originally chooses? I ask because this sounds like it would have been not allowed for security reasons.
I am trying to make a flash movie and have it find a external movie to show. I also need to be able to change the location of the video without flash, so I think I have to use a seperate .as file.
I have created a SWF file with a button which is action scripted to load a FLV video. However I am still not sure that I am filepathing the inserted FLV file correctly. I have set the absolute file path including http://www.etc..com however the movie does not load. Is the _root correct? Should this be cleared?
I'm using the flvPlayback/flvPlaybackCaptioning components.My file works perfectly when I test the movie within Flash.When I publish it,I cannot see any video, even on my own PC.I have the fla, flv and xml files in the same directory.In flvPlayback component,I have skin set to None and I'm using a captionButton and playPauseButton.The source has the flv filename and autoPlay is set to False.In flvPlaybackCaptioning, source has the xml filename and the captionTargetName has the textbox instance.showCaption is set to False. Everything works fine until I insert the captioning elements. The captioning works perfectly when testing.I can't see where I've gone wrong.
I inserted a video into my movie clip. It freezes sometimes if internet connection is not fast enough but freezes at any frame. I want a loading icon displayed once it stops and disappear when it continues.
I'm having some resizing/full-screen difficulty with loading an external quiz swf into a video player swf. What's happening is that, when the quiz swf is first loaded into the video player, the size of the loaded swf has the correct dimensions and aspect ratio. That part is fine, but as soon as I try to fullscreen or resize the video player (using listeners with stage dimensions) the external quiz swf changes dimensions on me and looks vertically squished and smaller.
I've talked to other people about this issue, and they're telling me that this issue is occuring because the quiz swf contains elements outside of the stage. These hidden elements are supposedly giving the video player "incorrect" dimensions. Is this really the case? Is there any other solution other than fitting any hidden elements within the quiz swf within the stage? And if this is the only solution, then why on initial load does the quiz swf show up properly?
I want to build a web page with a button that when clicked opens up a javascript layer and loads a flash player inside that layer. And that layer would need a close button.
I've inported a flv video and embeded it in one of the templates flash has, when i publish it and I go to the video.html file it plays, when i go to the video.html via my website I get the loading type image on the tracker bar. what is wrong? THe files are all linked correctly, it's video.swf as everything is in my "video" folder.
of a complex question to me, but it's coming from an absolute beginner and it might be considered a stupid one, that's why I posted here...I've kind of been dropped in the deep end with this task and I can't get it right... I have a company's organisational chart in flash where it loads in each person's name dynamically for their department and when you click on it it brings up their CV information such as name, qualifications etc. This is loaded into a dynamic text box. I can test it locally with an xml file and then switch back to the online version.The local version I check by switching to "strXMLpath = "organisation.xml";" where things are laid out as follows:
I am using the "loadSound" method to load an external mp3. The problem is I need to load the mp3 from a remoter server (the file is not local to the swf). From my searching, I can't seem to find out if this can be done.
My code follows: this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcSoundHolder", this.getNextHighestDepth()); var sndAudio:Sound = new Sound(mcSoundHolder); sndAudio.loadSound("[URL]", false); sndAudio.onLoad = function(bSuccess:Boolean):Void { if(bSuccess) { this.start(); }};
For the current site I'm working on, I need to display an intro video while other ssets(mostly flv files)load in the background.The issue is the framerate drops from ~30 to about ~1 because of the loading. When the videos loadinto memory, it grows by about 266MB~ and until it's 'written' the framerate drops.Is there any workaround/solution that will allow me to play an intro video while the assets load intomemory ?
How to generate the bytes from the video objectHow to submit the bytes to remote server?I found these classes are missing in AS2:flash.net.URLRequest,flash.net.URLLoader Are the above possible in AS2?
I have this FLV player that pulls all of the data (poster frame url, flv url, etc...) from an external xml file "prefs.xml" that's in the same root as the swf. That all works nicely.[url]...
I know cross-domain policies come into effect, and I actually have one hard-coded into the swf, and linked from the prefs.xml file so you can change the url of that document.[code]...
I am working on a project where I need to load a remote swf file into another using flash and as2. This should be simple, but the remote swf file is modular by design (i.e it needs to make calls to load other swf files into it) When I enter in the location to the remote swf file from a web browser it has no problem loading up. When I try and load the swf file using flash I get errors relating to the file system. It seems the flash being loaded into my flash is trying to load its other pieces and is looking for them on my computer.
I have masked the video clip. The masked clip is working fine. But the Actionscript 3, which contains 2 more SWF external movie clips not loading those files. Once I remove the mask they start working.
I want to load a streaming video from any point clicked on the progress bar. It it similar to what happens on YouTube. I am using Red5 server for streaming and netStream class.
I'm loading a video using the FLVPlayback component, and I want to start the video 10 seconds in, as opposed to from the start. How would I do this? For audio it seems simple enough, but I couldn't find an easy answer for video.
I have been working with xml sheets to load a menu and in order to load a submenu or to go to a submenu of a submenu, I was wondering if it is possible to load a variable location for an xml.
For example, if I had the variable xmllocation which was a string that said where in an xml a certain menu was, is it possible to use the xmllocation variable for something like this:
( if xml.xmllocation.length() > 0 ) do something;
whenever I tried messing around with it, it would actually go to look for "xmllocation" in the xml instead of check what the string is. So what I guess I am really asking is, is there a way to tell it not to be so literal?
What I want is to have my application be able to load a .TTF or .OTF file.What I found so far is people embedding their fonts into an .SWF and using the Loader class to load the font that way.That does not work for me because I want people using my system to be able to upload their own fonts, and not forcing them to embed it in an .SWF, because I want to keep my system as simple as possible.
I have a problem when i try to access the internet from a swf that is run localy.I want to load other swf files from diffrent domains into my main file wich works fine when the swf is on some domain but when i download the file and run it localy it doesn't work.
Can i change the sandbox type from actionscript? Mochi Media does it after enctypting your swf but i don't know how.
I am trying to make a flash movie and have it find a external movie to show. I also need to be able to change the location of the video without flash, so I think I have to use a seperate .as file.
