Syncing Multiple Flash Swf's Fullscreened For A 5760px X 1080px Video Wall
Sep 27, 2010
I've got a bit of a niche problem, in that I was tasked with making an animation for a 5760px X 1080px video wall. I tossed with the idea of doing a video in after effects instead but then decided the resulting file would be too large and encumbersome so I decided to pursue my other idea which was through flash. Now as you all probably know, maximum dimension for flash is half of what i need, 2880. So i made a half size mock up, got it approved and basically translated that into x3 1920x1080 fla's each containing a 3rd of the total animation, all synced for each other.
Now I need to figure out the best means of playing them together synced fullscreened on the video wall, which has just gone up. We are going to have a content management system that most likely will be able to sync the files but I'd really like the swf's to be able to sync without any help just incase sorta thing.
I'm using Flashcs3 in AS2.[code]My character gets stuck in walls and slows down trying to get out, also, hes about 10x faster now. any suggestions? Im working on a flash overhead shooter, multiplayer only. and I need the script to work so there can still be a bullet collision on each wall and not to be able to walk through it.
When I go to test my video the audio and video are playing at different playback speeds. I'm trying to create a video using Flash that requires events based on the song itself. how to make the audio and video play at the same speed during Timeline playback and testing?
I have a question regarding which version of Flash Media Server will best serve the project I am currently working on and whether the approach I have in mind is possible with FMS.The project envolves Flash Media Server syncing a dynamic background across multiple Flash Players running on separate computers on the same local network. One approach is to have FMS handle the variables and calculation on its side and communicate this to the other Flash Players (this I understand can be done with the Streaming Server).The second approach is to have FMS execute ActionScript on its own side to create the dynamic background and then serve this out as a video stream to the other computers. (With this approach FMS can completely takeover the processing required to generate the background content and the other computers only need to play it back as video. Is this type of approach possible with FMS and, if yes, with which version.
So how to stop others videos in a Video Wall when clicking another video?
I'm having a video wall, which was created with a for loop so that every i a new VideoPlayer instance was created. The source was inputed through XML.
Code: for (var i:int = 0; i < 3; i++) { video = new VideoPlayer(source); this.addChild(video); }
When I click the play button the clicked Video is playing great. And when I click another video on the wall it also starts playing. BUT HOW can I stop the other video(s) when another is clicked?
I know I need to kinda get access to the Netstream of all other videos and close them
Code: netstream.close();
I tried is with a Custom Event inside the VideoPlayer class:
Code: this.addEventListener(PlayerStopEvent.STOP, stopVideos); function stopVideos(event:PlayerStopEvent) {
[Code]....
From the output panel I can see the stopVideoPlayer function is being launched, but I'm guessing it's being launched only in the clicked video not in All videos, even though the code is in the VideoPlayer class.
When I tried using a timer event, to close the netstream after 5 seconds it worked for all videos.
How can I make this work? Or make an event similar to the timer event? Access the netstream for all videos?
know my question isn't linked directly to AS3, but still.

My mission is to embed a video (custom player) into a facebook wall and track the users events (play count etc.), also gather other relevant data. I was wondering is this at all possible, if so, can you comment on that briefly?
I've been working on this problem for months, can'f find a viable solution. I can get the main movieclips of the files to p with a mouseover action, but I really need three separate swf files to sync upon load.
Im starting experiment with Flash Builder for PHP mobile projects and I found it facinating. I could connect the app to a local database, but I was wondering how can I update the data of the mobile app from a website?
Im working on a site which incorperates several flash movies on one html page.
I realy want all these flash movies to start at the same time so they fade out in sync.
[URL]
I cant seem to find any command in flash to start a seperate flash movie playing but im sure that there is one.
I have thought about 2 ways of achieving this but am not sure which is the best way. The first is to have an extra movie that checks to see if the others have loaded then when all 4 have loaded it then starts them all at the same time.
The other way is to have each movie send a variable when it is loaded, then when all the variables are checked a start function is sent either via javascript or php.
I am having a lot of trouble while syncing my Flash Builder Actionscript project with Subversion. I have read that the output folders bin, bin-debug and html-template should not be checked in to the repository. The project bin folder contains a lot of XML files and assets that other project members needs to access. The problem is that Flash builder ignores it.
Is there a way of setting up Flash Builder to override the ignored bin folder? If not, what other approach should I consider? Different folder structures?
/src (commited) /bin (ignored) /swc (commited)
I would really like to override the default "DO NOT COMMIT YOUR DEPLOY FOLDER" setting. Bounty it is.
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 am new to Flash & haven't been able to find a solution anywhere. I am using Flash Professional CS5.
Multiple computers running a kinda of quiz (in asp.net). Every one of them plays a video as background (in the browser), sorta like a screensaver (with advertising). When moving the mouse a div pops up which allows the user to choose a quiz in fill out the forms. The catch is that the video needs to be synchronized on all the PCs.These are the constraints: The asp.net code is already there, so writing it completely in flash is no option. We know .NET, javascript, html, the standard webdev stuff best, so investing time is something new is a last resort.
I got Facebook to work with Flash as I wanted it to using the Facebook-Actionscript-Api. Works great and I got get Graph api working so that I'm able to post stuff to ppl's walls using the Facebook.api("/me/feed") post stuff without asking the user permission, as it's already got that permission, and it's great for many occasions. But not all.
I have been asked to design an LCD wall application for a display like the one in this ad. Requirements are that the wall can display full screen video or partition the wall in different sections to display multiple video or images and video. I would like to understand what platform can be used to drive such beasts (what OS? what video card?). I wonder what software platform can drive multimedia on such a scale. Html5 + JavaScript would be OK on a single monitor, but on that scale would it slow down? Flash also is an interesting platform, as it is Air, but, once again, can it scale like that?
I am also considering the server architecture that is needed to drive a set of walls in the same location and the slideshow designer to create storyboards, but this is dependent on what client architecture will be embraced.
In the comments of this question, users have commented that it's possible to insert a Flash applet into a Facebook wall post. I was under the impression this isn't possible without making a FB app.
I'm aware that FB will convert links to various media types - e.g. a link to a MP3 becomes automagically a SWF MP3 player, but the Flash applet used is chosen by FB's internal logic, not by the content of the post. Is it possible to embed a SWF applet of your own choosing?
As I haven't been able to find any documentation on this, has anyone else? Or, do you have some PoC code that does this?
I'm looking for a way around using flash for video's on a site. Any suggestions for something that might work across multiple browsers that isn't flash based? HTML5 seems promising, but I need something with more browser acceptance. I'm trying to avoid having to serve up difference video's based on user agents.
I'm creating some sort of flash video site. It consists of a several HD video's. The background video is 1920x1080. In front of it there is an object witch is also a video, but it it is stopped at first frame. When mouse is over this object - I play the video.
And here's the thing - when I firstly move cursor to the object - it plays like 5-6 fps. From the moment when video plays single time - it starts to go smoothly.
I use FLV files as videos and a sequence of PNG as an object on the video. FLV and PNG is 1920x1080. Flv and PNG's are loaded in the SWF file directly from library.
Here's the questions : Is there some sort of file buffering when the files are firstly displayed? Will it be better to load video from External files?
I would like to know how flash handles multiple HD video layers. We're planning a project:
- Flash document size 1920x1080 - In the background will be multiple HD videos(probably StageVideo that I will make show and play at certain events - like transition to the menu category) - In the center of the screen will be a fancy menu object that consists of a PNG sequence's.(6 sequences) - And a FLV HD Video in the foreground with alpha(maybe some visual effects).
The question is : Is it possible to make something like this without the users to experience lags?
I would like to play back 3 reasonably high res videos (On2 VP6-S) simultaneously in one Flash App (using flash.video, netstream and netconnect - code only). Unfortunately, when I do this, the video playback drops a lot of frames, however, CPU usage does not go much above 50% - spread over both cores. I'm using a Core2Duo. If I play the same 3 videos simultaneously in 3 separate flash apps (FP10), they play much better (and use close to 100% CPU). I even tried creating it as an AIR app with 3 separate windows (NativeWindow), but that made little difference. I have lodged this as a bug via the Flash Bug Reporting System [URL].
And yes, I do need to be doing something as crazy as this - it is for a pretty cool kiosk app, so I know what hardware will be used (and it has a good Graphics Card). One promising workaround appeared to be playing back a single NetStream in multiple Video instances, as it is NetStream that does the decoding, so I could decode once and present it in 3 places. Two of my video objects are actually the same flv (on different monitors), so there would be a 33% saving right there. If necessary, I could encode both flvs into a single 1920x1200 flv (I've checked - it would play back ok) and then use video.mask to show the relevant bits.
I am creating a game that needs to be integrated with Facebook. The game is done and once the user complets that game it adds the button that send score to the Facebook wall of the user.
I have downloaded the Facebook api for flash and is able to connect to the user and get its id. But I don't know what command to use to post the score or message on users wall via swf.[code]...
I want to publish this link [URL] into wall via Graph Api. If you see the code of the link you can see that the required metas are wrote. In fact, if you paste the link in Fb, you can see that it recognise and even publish the player.For test purpose i have used the Graph API Explorer [URL]) with this parameters:
Method: "POST" Api : https://graph.facebook.com/user/feed oauth_token : ... message: "Test from API Explorer"
[code]....
I do not understand why, whith the API Explorer works fine, but whit my PHP call does not.
I have a Facebook application where you can create an animation and share it on your wall. Each feed has a swf player that lets users to play the animation directly on the wall. (like any shared video). As IOS does not support flash, I have also created a native IOS application for playing those animations.
These posts can't be played on IOS devices, when touched, 'Flash Player update required' placeholder is shown.
What I want to do is, to have an alternative link for iPads to play these feeds on my native IOS app (like fb://APP_ID/video_url).
Is it possible to provide a native IOS App url for inline swf feeds?
All I really need is to make a post to the Facebook wall of the user from flash movie.Been trying to find any decent tuts for Flash IDE but everything seems to be for Flex mainly.
I am planning an implementation for a lecture capture solution for a local university. It is supposed to record all aspects of the lecture: the presenter will be recorded using videocamera + mic, his desktop activity is captured and optionally the whiteboard is captured as well (using Mimio). These input streams arrive (as video streams) to a computer that stores the recording on its harddisk. The file format for the recording should be able the hold multiple streams (Matroska for example).
The recording will be available from the uni's website. So at the client-side Flash seems a natural choice.
The player should display the different input sources into different rectangular regions of the player. One region displays the presenter, another region displays the desktop recording.
Is it possible to use a Matroska file as source for Flash streaming? If yes, how? If no, is there another container format more suitable for this? The FLV format can only hold one audio and one video file. Is it possible to have one Flash client receive multiple streams and diplay them in different regions of its own canvas?
I'm trying to play multiple video streams simultaneously. However, I cannot synchronize these videos to play at the same rate.
I have three 45-second videos in FLV format and I use flash.net.NetStream to play these videos. I call netstream.play() of these netstream at the same time (by using a for-loop). However, these videos are out-of-sync even all videos files are on my local machine.
For example, when the wall clock is at 10th second, the first video is at 7th second, the second video is at 10th second, and the last video is at 5th second.
I think it may be affected by different jitter delays when streaming. However, I still cannot find the way to solve this problem.
