I am trying to use external xml to set cue point times (for video), titles, and other parameters. I have everything set up, except getting the proper data from the xml file to set the parameters for my cue points. I am researching hard and learning quickly
View 2 RepliesI have a video that is playing in an FLVplayback Component, inside of a MovieClip. I have a cue point in the video about half way through, that triggers a seperate MovieClip (on the Parent timeline). This worked perfectly until I removed the Parent MovieClip, and made it an External SWF. Now the cue point triggers this in the Output window:
Code:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label head_fade not found in scene head_fade.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at M_fla::head_intro_7/fl_CuePointHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
[Code]....
Do i have to do anything different now that this is in an external file.
I am trying to change information on my site using cue points in my video. My video is in a flash quiz and I am trying to change my objects such as an ad or photo with these cue points. In otherwords, when a video begins, or when a cue point is reached the photo outside the video would change. I am currently using cue points to go to the next frame after the video completes, but I don't know how to make it change things outside the video.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to have Flash execute a file, and I can get FSCOMMAND to work. Sort of. While I can use it to run a single batch file, what I really need to do is to pass a parameter from within Flash to the item being executed. I'm currently using Flash to allow a user to select some items, and I need to pass that selection out of it in order to kick off some other processes (Flash is basically just my GUI interface right now until I learn more about how to do things in it).
I don't care if it's a batch file or JavaScript or anything that's not uber complex (so no .NET or C++). I just need to find something that we can run internally for our company (either from an .HTML or a .EXE file output from Flash - not too picky there either).
is ist still possible to use external parameters in defining an swf object in html?

From an HTML form, I wish to launch my existing working flex application passing in parameters E.G, login details.[code]...

View 3 RepliesI have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.
I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

I am following a good tutorial here:URl...And it uses the following example file to display an embedded FLV movie:URL...I am having a problem editing the cue points. If I open the compenent inspector for the FLVPlayback, and then open the cuePoints dialog, I should be able to add, remove, or modify cue points. However, I can't edit anything in the dialog at all. It seems locked.The tutorial clearly states you should be able to edit the points.
View 1 Replies[URL]In the tutorial, it says I should be able to edit cue points for the FLV video. I open the component inspector and the cuePoints dialog. All the cue points are listed, but it won't let me edit them. They seem ti be locked. I need to be able to edit cuepoints within flash for a linked flv file.

View 1 RepliesI am SUPER confused on how to make use of the cue point that I embedded in my FLV.It is called "END", is at time 00:00:46.114 and is Event type.How do I go about calling an action, say loader.loadMovie("info.swf), when the movie reaches that point?

View 1 RepliesI have a video with 2 embedded cue points (event). The video player uses NetStream and is NOT a FLV Playback component. I can trace them and see both name and time with this:

For some reason I'm having trouble designating where my registration points are on my objects. When I create new objects the option is simply not there. Also, when I'm doing some actionscripting, my text does not change colors, even though I've set it to do so...
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to get the time of one of my navigation cue points. I am using the NetStream class and want to seek to it, but just realized that I can only do that if I have the time for it. Is that possible?
View 12 RepliesI have added an flv-playback instance to the stage in Flash CS4. The flv has some cuepoints named "01" - "10". The cue-points were set in AfterEffects CS4. There's some event- and some navigation-type cuepoints. I now attempted the simple task of getting a specific cuepoints' time using actionScript. Easy enough one should think, but apparently it isn't.[code]...
View 6 RepliesI am using Flash CS3 and AS2 on a PC. I am making a CD in Flash, for a client. The CD has videos, images and text. What I need is be able to go to the next scene once an FLV has finished playing. Also if a new FLV can be loaded once the curent ends. The FLV is in the FLVPlayback component. I need to add Cue Points which I can use to navigate with. The client would prefer a minimum of buttons, and thus auto navigation once a point is reached.I would prefer to avoid the need for me to use third party software or add-ons unless absolutely necessary.
View 3 RepliesI would like my video to play through the external flv once, and then loop back to the middle of the external flv.I have made 3 cue points on the stage in actionscript, labeled "beginning","middle", and "end.here is my code which seems like it should work, however, I get an invalid seek 1009 error.

How do I go about having buttons display in an external flv file? I know I can establish event cue points with Adobe media encoder. I want the the buttons and graphics to appear and stay on the screen, even though the external flv loops.
View 18 RepliesI can bring the two selected cards (out of 28 in a grid). Is there a way to get any two cards in the grid to line up inthe center? I'm thinking of having two invisible mcs and have one align to one and one to the other. I want to make sure they don't overlap (hence why the mc idea). trying to accomplish this without going crazy as its just aligning two things.[code]

View 3 RepliesI have a component (link to Test class) which contain one line in it, and I put one point of this line to (0, 0).
Then drag it to Flash(fla), and get its Shape in AS3 like:
// in Test.as
// assume that the movie clip only contain one line.
var line:Shape = Shape(getChildAt(0));
And I can get one point of this line which is x and y of var line. But how to get another point of this line?
Edit:
Ignore component stuff above, here has another question but I guess it pretty much the same as the question above:
Draw a line from (0, 0) to (10, 10) and draw another line from (10, 0) to (0, 10), how to get those lines of two-point form in AS3?
If I access them as Shape then I get two similar shapes which have same x, y, width and height values. Does AS3 has some way to access line as a REAL line not just a shape? or does it has any way I can calculate it out?
I have found many posts on how to draw shapes using the drawing API. However, I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to get the coordinates of points along an exisiting path on the stage and then tween these points to new random coordinates (distort the path).

What I want is for a video to load and then four photos to load in over the top with linked text below each photo. This would then move onto the next piece of xml and load the next video, new photos and accompanying text. I have tried to simply duplicate some of the attributes that are already there but for some reason the xml is not loading into my created holders. Plus because of the way it is loading only the video changes and not the photos and text.
