Professional :: Referencing External Video Across Multiple Computers?
Dec 16, 2010
I have made a .swf that references an external .f4v . The swf plays fine on my own computer, but does not play on a colleagues computer, or another computer which we tested. The file is not for upload to web , it is for local playback. I assume this is a file path issue, but I have tried many different things including specifying a path and then recreating the same directory structure on the other computer. What am I missing? The f4v file can playback on the colleagues computer (I did install ffdshow , although another tested mp4 also plays back fine) but not the .swf. !

Ive imported an FLV into a Project. Some computers wont play the video back if the Flash Player is set to Full Screen. The screen goes black during Full Screen. If you set the player to regular, you can see the video playing (embedded into design) but once you set player to Full Screen the video plays on its own right at centre of screen. Im working on a Touch Screen Display that has the display set to Portrait mode. Im investigating if the display card is causing the problem.

I suppose the title says it all. I can load an external video file (FLV) and I can have it play. I also have the custom buttons made to control the clip. The only thing I have left to do is to have the main timeline move onto frame 2 once the external video reaches its end. I am using actionscript 3 and flash cs 5.5.

I created a Flash .exe that plays a couple FLV files, but in testing the files we've noticed some inconsistent playback on various computers and here's what we've found: On an Intel Zeon 3ghz quadcore 32bit Windows 7 machine, the playback is smooth and acceptable, using an average of 50% of all four cores during playback.
On a single core Windows XP PC, there is some playback hesitation using 100% of the single core during playback. On an Intel P4 3ghz with HT (dual core) 32bit Windows 7 machine, the playback is initially very choppy with continueing choppiness throughout to a somewhat lesser degree, using almost 100% of both cores continuously during playback.
We want to point this out because on PCs that are less than multi-core Intel Zeons, we would reasonably expect that the playback experience for the end user will be unsatisfactory. Is there anything that can be done about this to avoid this being a problem after the fact, as this client will be having many of these USBs manufactured.

I have a preloader and 10 swf that needs to be cache. My problem was that when the preloader started, it was not only caching the swf, but a lot of .flv and a lot of the same player skin (flvplayback component). I don't need and don't want to preload or cache those .flv. They need to be load only when someone is on the page not before (in real time, not preload).
But the problem is that the videos (flv) are on the first frame of every swf cause I need the video to start when they enter the page. So when the preloader start, it starts to preload the videos too (since they are on the first frame).Is there a solution to change the behavior of the preloader or restrict what he can load ?Is there a better way to make my video start on enter frame without putting it on the first frame ? Something that would not be preload and cache but that would start when the user enter the page ?

I have built a website in FLASH CS4 (version 10). The website runs perfectly on my MAC core 8 but when I view it on either of my laptops (both are also Macs couple months old) the main title of the site + the on/off for the music appears in a completely different font and one word of the title disappears.I have tried turning the title to a button and to a movie and kept it as text and nothing makes a difference..

I've been testing my website's intro banner on a few different computers.
On my computer, in Safari and Firefox, it plays at the same speed as when I play it locally.
It runs fine on all machines I checked at work, but one. On my slowish laptop, ran slowly there too.
It's a pretty small file 87kb. Is it a cpu issue and not being able to process multiple animations at the same time?
Is there a way to remedy that or just don't worry about it? Is there some sort of standard when it comes to cpu/swf testing?
My concerned file is the middle banner at [URL]

I have created a Flash Video that contains three images that fade in and out between each other. The problem I am having is I want the user to be able to click on an image and get directed to a specific URL. Each of the three images has a different URL destination.

I have imported an .mp4 video into Flash using the option "Load external video with playback component." It creates a swf file which references the mp4 file. I chose this option because the video is large. I have used the published html code and it is working perfectly. I am just concerned that I might require other formats to ensure everyone can view it. In the past, I have seen people load mov and mp4,

I have created invisible buttons which when clicked will load an image into a UILoader. When testing, an output error message comes up saying:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: file:///E|/butcher1/images/cut0.jpg
I thought it might have been incorrect naming conventions or instance names but I have checked and I'm sure i've got it all right.
Could it possibly have something to do with my setup of the timeline as I have all my layers on the same line.
Should I start all over?
This is what some of the code looks like an i have done the same for the rest of the invisible buttons
this is what part of the code looks like...
cut7_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_3); function fl_MouseClickHandler_3(event:MouseEvent):void{ // Start your custom code // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel. trace("cut7_btn"); probackground.iloader.source = "images/cut7.jpg"; // End your custom code}

I have a drop down menu whereby the clicking of a button causes it to move to a specific keyframe in the timeline. I also have multiple buttons which load external swf files.The problem is when i navigate to the drop down menu the loaded external files keep dissapering because they are not on the keyframe where the drop down menu is actuated. Is there any way of coding it so that which ever swf file is loaded remains there whilst the drop down menu moves to its specific stage in the timeline?

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?

How would I make a simple button that when clicked once, acts as if you'd double clicked a video file in explorer, as in it either activates your video player of choice, or plays it immediatly if it's already open.
(I know I've not worded this all that well, please say if you need me to say it more clrealy)

Is there a way to reference multiple movieclips using a single variable name? For example,I'm making a side-scrolling game, and there's going to be many platforms, and I have some code that tells the player not to fall through these platforms, but I don't want to copy and paste the same "platform" code every time I add a new platform.

I'm new with Actionscript and am currently working atbuilding a website. I've got a lot figured out so far but oneproblem I'm running into is when I try to load an external .swfusing the loader component and then reference it or try to point toit within my main .swf I can only load the "gallery.swf." throughmyLoader.contentPath = "gallery.swf";I'm trying to load it and then point to a specific label soit loads that frame or label. I've created separate labels for eachimage in my gallery so that when I point to them with AS, it knowswhich image to load. It worked when I had the gallery in the main.swf but when I used the loader component it didn't work.The AS I used that worked before I made a separate .swf andused a loader was:
on(release) {
_parent._parent._parent.photos_MC.gotoAndPlay("img1");
}

I'm having problems referencing the stage from an external class. I've tried :
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onUp, false,0,true);
And also
Code:
MovieClip(parent).addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onDown, false,0,true);
But no luck. Can I not do this? I'm making a pencil class that I want to be able to reuse. I also tried "this" and while it didn't throw and error, it didn't work either.

I am trying to create a simple floor plan that highlights where the computers are on the floor.
1. Each computer has a name for e.g. Comp1, Comp2, Comp3 etc.
2. The computer names are in a list on the left hand side.
3. On the right hand side is the simple floor plan with computer images (or clipart)
This is what is expected:
1. As the mouse is mover over the item on the list, the computer associated with it must light up (or highlighted) For e.g. when the mouse is over Comp1 in the list then computer1 image (or clipart) on the floor plan must light up
2. When the mouse is over a computer on the floor plan, then the associated computer name in the list must light up For e.g. when the mouse is over computer2 image (or clipart), then Comp2 in the list must light up. I was trying to get some ideas from [URL]. I was able to make the image for a computer. It doesn't go far enough to tell me how to accomplish the above. Using Excel, I did this nearly five years back, by putting the clipart in specific cells and hyperlinking them. Now we want to make it available on the web.

I have a media player that I am codging together, one that will play either videos or MP3s depending on the variables it is passed. The video player part works fine. The MP3 player controls are all actual physical MCs on the stage; each one has its own AS class file as part of the package, but there is also a lot of AS that is happening in the main FLA as well. Messy, I know, but it mostly works great.
The MC on the stage in the main FLA is properly linked to the class file via Actionscript linkage, and the control itself works. However, I am trying to make some aspects of the control respond to variables that are set within the AS on the timeline of the main FLA, and I cannot seem to pass values to the control no matter what I do.

So I am using the following code to load an external swf and am trying to reference the timeline of the loaded movie i.e. a frame label. Say I wanted to do a simple gotoAndPlay what is the syntax? I would use (myloader.gotoAndPlay ("framelabel") this seems like an obvious answer but doesn't seem to work for me.
Code: Select allfunction yesClick(event:MouseEvent){
