resources for building (or skinning) your own video player aren't nearly as easy to find as I thought they should be, and these tutorials are fantastic. The only things missing, that how to achieve, are (a) the video counting in 0:00 as it plays, and also being able to list the duration - so display something like: 0:00 / 5:47

View 1 RepliesHow to get video duration in as3 ?
View 6 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible to get the duration of an MP4 video. I am attempting to make a scrubber bar for my video player following Lee's tutorial however in the video he uses an FLV with metadata. Is there any way to produce the same effect with an MP4?
View 3 RepliesI am using Flash Media Server 3 hosted by Influxis.I use to upload flash videos (flv) to view from our company website, which uses Flowplayer.I got a new video which is F4V, but this video is little wierd, It plays well but the duration shows as 3:00:00 (3 hours) which is actually 11minutes 30 seconds.
[Code]...
On Linux, YouTube places temporary flash files in /tmp. Nautilus can display the duration (Minutes:Seconds) of them, but I haven't found a way to extract the duration using python.'
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a video player in an environment where stream.bytesTotal isn't available. I need to use the duration metadata encoded in flv files to extrapolate for things such as the play progress, and the time display.
The problem is when loading an flv the metadata, including the duration, fails to be accessed 2 out of 3 times. Here is the function that iterates through the metadata object
[Code]...
I have a video player and I want to read the duration counter so that after say 5 seconds the video fades in some movie clips pauses for a few seconds then fades the movieclips out. Heres what I have so far as a test I have used gotoand play . If I insert this the movie does not reach 5 seconds but goes to frame 8 straight away. If I try a < or == nothing happens ?
// Get video duration
ns.onMetaData = function(obj) {
duration = obj["duration"];
var minutes2:Number = Math.round(duration/60);
var seconds2 = Math.round(duration%60);

How can i get the time duration of video has been loaded?
Example: Total length - 1minute.
loaded length - 30second.
Then How can I get this loaded length?
I am not talking about the total duration of video. and I am using web hosting server not RTMP server.
I just want to know, howto add time duration and time ellapse on a flash video player.
View 1 RepliesI have over 1200 videos in our catalog that were somehow transcoded with a missing duration, assigning it a value of 0 - the data rate is also 0. How do I determine the video duration by another means, with just the .flv file as a resource.
View 0 RepliesI have a FLV player using netstream. I am using metaData to grab the video duration and time. It will grab the total duration time, but I want it to countdown to zero, like iTunes. Basically, the time will play and the duration will countdown to zero at the end of the video. I thought that I could take (duration) - (time played) but it's not working.

is it possible to make the duration of a movieclip equal the duration of the preloader, i mean is it possible to make something like, the time the preloader needs to reach the 100% = the duration of the movieclip? i'm using AS 3.0 and flash CS4 just in case it helps here is my code for the loader:
Code:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;

Is there a way to put a hit counter into a flash video? Or is that something that would need to go into the HTML file? Also I need it to be invisible, but be able to check it somehow.
View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic playlist that is populated by XML and I would like to have a "viewed" textfield next to each video showing how many times it has been clicked to play, exactly like YouTube's views.I'm not 100% certain how I want/should tackle this, but I was looking at the File object from FMS and somehow interacting with that or my web server runs ASP 3.5 and I was thinking a hit counter that way

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone have any links to tutorials where I could learn Actionscript 3.0?
View 1 RepliesDo you know of any drop-down menu tutorials? It is realllly hard to find any information about how to make them! I have been searching for quite a while now without any luck. The only tutorial I could find on building slide/drop down menus was by Tudvid dot com and it was rather terrible. I even bought a adobe book on flash yesterday for $55 "Classroom In A Book" but this also had no information.
Have any of you experienced the same problem? Do you use AS to build menus?
Going through the tutorial videos, sometimes I have to call a friend to find out what the word I can't grasp is. Example, on one of the tutorials, the lady says "in the authoring environment", but I could not hear the word "authoring" properly. My neighbor friend thought she was saying "operating environment". But after searching the help pages for "Flash environment", "authoring" came up and was able to finally guess the word I was not able to distinguish.
This happens to me frequently. My simple wish is for those videos to include caption text. they do it for most TV programs nowadays, why not tutorials. After all, tutorials are so much more important to be understood.
However as a programmer it's kind of important that I learn the language. Now, I know about myself that I won't learn anything if I read guides or try to learn the functions. I need tutorials to learn, in my opinion the best way to learn is to actually make stuff.So I was wondering, can anyone point me to a few tutorials for beginners?

View 1 RepliesI've been using this simple script from the kirupa tutorials section to preload my movies: [code]Is this the best code to use, because all I want is to show a small animation that loops to tell the viewer that the movie is loading. I only ask, because I have embedded some video in a few files but this script only works half it should do & then tries to load the video, but then stops about five frames after until it has 'properly' loaded. It is quite frustrating to say the least.Is this code actionscript 2 or 1? should it be exported with a specific Flash player? I think at the moment it's Flash Player 7. And in actionscript 2 I have the export frame for classes set as frame 2, is this correct?
View 1 RepliesI am curious on how I can add springs into a basic motion tween for something like menus.
I checked out Kirupa's small tutorial but that is a constant, not something like rollovers. The basic idea is much like lots of other sites, I just want to add a little less ridged feedback from my menus.
I have tried to combine two different drag and drop tutorials. The first one is the "Dragging and Dropping Using Drop Targets" from kirupa and the other is this one:[URL]..The "drag_replace" file replace an object and goes back to it's orginal position if another object is placed on it. So I tried to put this code on object called "one" after the "drag" code:

I downloaded and am using kirupa's flash gallery with xml. It works/looks great. but i'd like to have it behave a little differently. i've seen sites where the thumbnails continue to change their alpha indicating they are loaded and loading while i'm viewing an image. are there any tutorials/samples out there for that? i simply want to see how it would all work together. maybe having 10 thumbnails and an image using xml.
