Professional :: Play An Intro Video Smoothly While Loading Assets In The Background?
Dec 10, 2010
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 ?

Working on a 'video heavy' Flash site that has an intro video. While the intro video is playing, assets(images,flv files) should be loaded in the background. The problem is that, while the assets are loading, the intro video play gets jittery. What can I do to make the video playing smoothly while still loading assets? It might be the single threaded nature of actionscript, not sure. After using @Demian Brecht suggested method, I noticed that the culprit might be Memory allocation. As the FLVs load the memory usage goes up by ~266MB and while the videos are written to memory, the framerate drops to 1FPS.

I am working on a website that, among other things, has an flv player to display certain flv videos. The problem is that some times the videos don't play smoothly even if they are fully loaded. I am using AS3 to load the videos to the flv player
conn= new NetConnection();
conn.connect(null);
stream1 = new NetStream(conn);
[code]....
My guess is that it happens due to connection speed/size of videos, but if so, wouldn't it play smoothly once the video is fully loaded?

My client wants to take all the Flash games on their website and put them on a portable device that's not connected to the internet. I need to make sure that the swfs are completely self contained, in that they do not require the internet to load any swfs or other assets. The client does not have any of the fla's, so my plan is to download the swf and decompile it with Sothink, and then search the AS for these methods:
URLRequest
loadMovie
loadMovieNum
If the search returns results then I'll assume the game is loading something and that game will not be used. The client doesn't want to put any development time into this, so it either goes on the portable as is or not at all.

If I have an FLV that I've output as SWF with skin to have embedded into an HTML page, and now a 'skip intro' is needed - though I'd have to make note of the actual time or keyframe in which the intro completes...How is this possible? Clearly, a button would need to be added for that kind of interactivity?

how to change this on my 'flash template' and how to successfully mute the background music as my VIDEO starts to play.
I have uploaded my FLA file so that you can see what the problem is:
[URL]
The background music is set as per TEMPLATE that I got. I would like to add a quicktime movie to the website, under the page titled "TRAILER" - and have tried to do so myself by adding the QUICKTIME to the project through another SWF that I got elsewhere (a different 'template' so to speak).
The original quicktime file that I wish to add is available here:
[URL]
I'd like to be able to stop the background music when the viewer visits the TRAILER page of the site, as that is when the trailer starts to play. The music can stop abruptly, that is fine.
I'd like for the music to continue to play (either from the start, or where it was stopped) when any other pages are visited after watching of the trailer.

So I'm building a music site for a client, he's got a record theme so I thought it would be cool to build the site to look like a big turn table with all the content on the record.the record is designed to spin (not as disorienting as you'd think, just the grooves spin)...but the record image, which I did in Photoshop, is huge.
It was just slowing things down to a near crawl in browser. So I split the record image into four pieces and then mirrored them to get the full piece of the pie. It worked, but it's still running slightly slow. I do have a couple of blending options set to act as lights over the record...I tried deleting them to see if it would run faster, it's still jumpy. When the record is not moving(there's a button to turn it off) everything runs smoothly. The entire move is about 300k in file size and the record is being animated via actionscript.How do some of these bigger sites get these HUGE animations to run in the background so smoothly?

I am new to flash and trying to make a simple flash website video intro in Flash CS5 Pro.I have a flv viedo on the stage, under an image with a trasnparent center.I have the video on the bottom layer, the overlay image on the middle layer, and the top layer is my AS layer (AS3).
The video is currently autoplaying when i export.All i want is for it to open my website in the same window as the intro played when the video ends.I dont need a "skip intro button" or anything.I just want it to play the intro when you go to my site, and then bring up the index page of my site after it plays.

I have a 10 second Intro video that I would like to play before each main video plays. The videos are streaming through FMS 3.5. At the moment I have to attach the intro to the start of the main videos and render out in Premiere Pro CS5 Ideally I would like to set it up so that the intro starts for the 10 seconds and then auto switches to the manin video. To show an example of what I need to do here is a link to an Archery site ( I also do archery as a hobby and noticed this)[URL] If you click on any of the 8 parts for either day 1 or Day two, you will notice a couple the 5 second intro screens and it then automatically goes back to 0 to start the main video.

take a peek at youtube main pageWhat's your thoughts on the "Lost" TV show preview there. It's huge, it has sound, nonetheless it runs smoothly and almost instantaneously. And the quality is greatIt is interactive therefore it's kind of like a tiny mini website within the website, swf with video in it, right?now how do you get video of this quality to run this smoothly as far as AS goes? Looking in the Safari Activity window I don't even see things downloading (of considerable kilobyte size that is)

I'm creating a site and am trying to achieve a full screen video background like this: [URL]. The idea is that it adapts to any screen resolution/size (is this called ScaleMode?) Which is the easiest way to get this effect - is there some sort of code or application to make it easier? Also, which video size should I pick so it shows correctly in all resolutions?

I am trying to smoothly integrate a video player into my website. Specifically, I want the "header image" on a page to transform into a video player when a user clicks a small "watch video" icon. I plan to use Flash CS4 for the project. A great example of this is found on the following website by clicking the "watch video" button: [Url]

I have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

I've read through several tutorials but I must be doing something wrong on this. I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS4. I am trying to create a short clip that fades text in over a bacground video. When I create a motion tween on the text track, I'm generating an error and the background video is no longer visible in the preview. Instead, I see the text over the stage background color. It is as if the background video track has switched to wireframe. Here are the steps I've followed:
1. Created Flash File (ActionScript 3.0).
2. Imported Video into the State background layer - it appears as a black image in the it previews fine at that point
3. Created new layer for text and placed text - it previews fine at this point, text is overlaying video
4. I right click on the text block and choose convert to symbol.
5. Next with the play head on the first frame and the Text layer selected I choose Create Motion Tween. This is when AFP throws this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.video::UIManager/http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::hookUpCustomComp onents() at [code]...

i have an HTML page (in folder Subdirectory 1) and i embed 2.swf (in folder Subdirectory 2 (both folders are located in Parent Directory)).2.swf loads 1.swf from Subdirectory 1.In 1.swf i have a video player( which loads video1.flv from videos folder) and if run individually it plays without any problem.
If I run the html it loads both swf's but the video does not play because of a "Stream.NotFound" exception.This arrangement of files and folders is a requirement for my project.

I made a 'movie' in Premiere and exported as FLV., Its suppose to be a banner on the top of a web page. The site was made with Dreamweaver. When played locally, the banner does great. When I put it on the server, thats a different story. I can tell thats something is there because it loads the background color of the flash file but it doesn't play the FLV.

I have an animation Logo flash movie which I want to appear after 10 seconds of loading the background image (Panel_mc)?
I am using Actionscript 3 to load the Logo.swf movie. The following is the whole code that I have on my action script page:
stop();import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var PanelTween:Tween = new Tween(Panel_mc, "y", Elastic.easeOut, -400, 20, 5, true);
var l:Loader=new Loader();addChild(l);l.load(new URLRequest("Logo.swf"));l.x = -20;l.y = -20;
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader);
function growLoader(evt:Event):void { l.width = 320; l.height = 185;}
Note: I need it because first the background will animate so no one can pay attention to my Logo. Once the background stops animation, My logo needs to be start (animation)?

I just updated to CS5 - I'm working on a custom video player. It works fine embedded in a web page both locally and on the network. It works fine in the debug player. However, when I test it in the authoring player I get a NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound error and no video. I have tried setting the Local Playback Security publish settings to both local and network - doesn't find the video either way.
It used to run fine in CS4 in the authoring environment.

My flash project is a video player. There are library items and .as files that help compile everything that it needs.I'm experiencing something very strange.Here is what is happening.
1. When I test my movie in flash it works great. The preview image appears, the movie loads quickly, and when I click play on either the big play button or the control bar play button it starts immediately without hesitation.
2. When I compile the video, I can open the generated HTML file with either IE or FF and everything works the same as above - flawlessly. Here is where the problems begin...
3. When I copy the HTML from the generated HTML file and add it to my page where I want my video embedded problems begin! First the preview image and the big play button does not appear until the movie runs and finishes (I click on the play button on the control bar to start the movie in this case). After the movie runs they appear. It's obvious my file paths are not the issue since I see the movie and the preview image (eventually), right?
4. The movie will not load in IE until I click on play, I just see my preloader spinning with 0% loaded showing. That stays until I click on play, and then just like FF at the end of the movie I finally see the big play button and the preview image. I tested in IE 7 & 8.This also can't be a local development issue because I uploaded the files to our server (I'm in an intranet) and saw the same phenomenon occur. I tried different embed/param code found on the net as well hoping that would do the trick, but no luck there either. I'm using flash5 and all standard out of the box setings.

In the timeline I have a main menu on frame 1 and four subsections on frames 10,20,30, and 40. I have four buttons on the main menu label("button001"; "button002";"button003", and "button004"), each one is sending the movie to a specific label (i.e: "section001", frame 10; "section002", frame 20; "section003", frame 30; and "section004", frame 40). In each one of those specific frames/labels (10,20,30,and 40) I have a movie clip that contains the section. It starts with a simple animation and ends in a stop. And this is what I want to do: play the animation just once.
Let's say in the main menu; when pressing one of the four buttons, the movie goes to one of those specific frames and the animation starts. For instance, I press "button001" and send my movie to the "section001" label. Then I return to the main menu and press again the "button001"; I don't want the animation to play again, I want to start in the stop point. So, I think about using some kind of conditional, but it's not working. Inside the "section001" movie, I put the following code on the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var section001_intro = false;
if (section001_intro = true){
//"section001_stop" is a label I put on the last frame of the movie clip
gotoAndStop("section001_stop");
}else{
nextFrame();
}
Then on the last frame, when the movie stops, I wrote this code:
ActionScript Code:
var section001_intro = true;
So, my idea is that the first time the movie is played, the animation is played; then, I indicate in the last frame that the move has been played. next time I go to the "section001" label the movie must skip the animation and go directly to the "section001_stop" label.
