Actionscript 3 - Detect TCP Connection Close When Playing Flash Video
Feb 15, 2011
On the Flash client side,how do I detect when the server purposely closes the TCP connection to its video stream? I'll need to take action when this occurs - maybe attempt to restart the video or display an error message. Currently, the connection closing and the connection being slow look the same to me. The NetStream object ushers a NetStream.Play.Stop event in both cases. When the connection is slow, it usually recovers by itself within seconds.I wish to only take action when the connection is closed, not when it is slow.Here's how my general setup looks like. It's the basic NetConnection->NetStream->Video setup.
this.vidConnection = new NetConnection();
this.vidConnection.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, this.connectionAsyncError);[code].....
I have a NetConnection attached to a NetStream, which is in turn attached to a Video. As you can guess, this is a video player. I've looked through the public properties of all three classes and could not find an "isPlaying" property - a boolean that would tell me video is currently running (and not paused, stopped, nor corrupted). [code]...
I have a video playing on my page. I want to show and hide some div's when the video reaches a certain point. Lets say hide something on 10th second and show it again on 20th second.I can easily do it in HTML5 with video tag and currentTime attribute but for IE I have to create the same functionality and I think with flash based videos (from YouTube or something like that).Is there a way to detect the current time of a video playing on my website, embeded from YouTube, Metacafe or any other video sharing site?I know I could detect it in flash and make it run some JavaScript function but I don't have flash nor have the skills to do it in AS3.
I'm sure this is a simple question, but I just can't crack it. In my video player I want to detect if the current status is playing or paused. But I can't figure out where this info comes from. Is it a property of the ns object?
I'm using a video array to load external flvs randomly for a movie quiz game I am building. Is there a way to code my actionscript so that I can identify which flv is playing randomly so that I can choose and use a specific animation that is to go with that video?This is my code:
// video array set up var videoArray:Array = new Array({vid:"question1.flv", ans:"school of rocketeers"}, {vid:"question2.flv", ans:"supermanhattan"},[code]......
There is a flash movie which is using flash.net.Socket to connect to a server. But there could be a situation when the server is not running, hence nothing is listening on the port socket is connecting to.
When I do "telnet hostname port" I get a fast connection refused error. But flash.net.Socket does not invoke any event (see below), but silently waits for socket timeout. For me it is important to reduce time needed to detect non-existing server as much as possible to be able to reconnect to another server in the cluster.
I've tried the following events, but to no avail:
close connect ioError securityError socketData
None of these is invoked in such situation.
Is there a way to detect that TCP connection has been refused using flash.net.Socket?
I have a quick question. I wrote an app that records video through a users web cam. However,when they close the app, the green light on the webcam is still on, like it's still recording. The only way to get it to turn off is to completely leave or close the site.How can I close the camera, when they click "stop recording". Seems like it should be simple, but I couldn't find a method.
I've developed a menu in AS3 with about 10 buttons. Each buttong will load an swf or a swf created in Captivate. I want the swf to load ontop of the menu, then close when it's done playing. I can get this to work fine with swfs created in Flash, but not captivate 5. The captivate file will open and play, but it won't close.I tried adding the script at the bottom to an swf and importing that into the last slide of captivate with no luck.This doesn't seem like it should be so tricky.Here is some of the AS3. I didn't bring the code in for all the buttons.
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader; introduction_to_gcssj_btn.addEventListener(MouseEv ent.CLICK, introductionClicked); portal_features_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CL ICK, portalFeaturesClicked);
I'm creating a very, very basic AIR application which mainly just needs to check if a given FMS is up and running. To do that, I'm simply connecting to the FMS and after a successful connection, disconnecting to free up the connection slots. All is repeated at some interval. This is like a monitoring tool.
However, looking into the admin panel (Influxis) I can see that the number of active connections is ever growing, even though I'm calling close() on the NetConnection instance every time.
Also, adding a timer to trace the netConnection.connected value outputs always "true", after the close() function has been called.
I was wondering, what was the best way to for actionscript 3.0 to detect cuepoints playing from a FLV movie that is playing from an FLV playback component?
I have some animation (programmatic, I'm NOT using keyframed animation in timeline), and some music I want to play in the background. Once the music file reaches the end (about 30 seconds long), I want to trigger the end of the animation functions.I figure I could either use an actionscript timer to trigger the end of the animation or a keyframe with actionscript that is placed on the timeline near the end of the song but these methods assume knowledge about the duration of the wave file. If I changed the framerate or updated the external wave file, these triggers would possibly no longer sync upIs there some sort of event listener or other detection method for an audio file to signal it has finished playing? Or maybe there is a way to get the duration of the audio file to use in the timer
I am loading an external SWF file into my main timeline. The external SWF file contains an FLV video. At a certain point in my main timeline, the SWF file loads and plays the video. Is there a way to say...
If the VIDEO (FLV) is done playing, gotoAndPlay(X)?
I want to check whether the microphone is connected to the system or not. If not, it should display a warning message and not allowed to record anything. All this should be done through actionscript3.0.
What I'm trying to do is have a cleanup/data save function run when Flash detects that the player is being closed (i.e. user clicks the X to close button on the flashplayer window).
Is there some event that fires when this happens, or a deconstructor I can put in my Main class to make this happen? I've searched around a bit and not found anything for a standalone flash app.
I have two versions of video - low and high bandwidth. I want to detect client's internet connection speed to show low or high version of videos. Is it possible to detect Internet Connection Speed in AS2
At run time, Is it possible to detect the 'Connection Speed of the user' and change the way my preloader works? Say If the user is on a Dial up connection then play the initial 50% of the movie that has been loaded while loading the remaining 50% in background, If the user is on DSL or cable then load the entire 100% movie and so on.

Is there any way to detect webcam and microphone connections in runtime in flex.Suppose the clients are participated in a videoconnference .One of clients joins the conference without webcam.In meantime he connects to webcam as he in the conference.How to stream that user video to all connected clints.
I have a Flex application that connects to a BlazeDS server using the StreamingAMF channel. On the server-side the logic is handled by a custom adapter that extends ActionScriptAdapter and implements FlexSessionListener and FlexClientListener interfaces.
I am asking how can I detect which "flex-client" has closed a connection when for example the user is closing the browser? (so I can clean some infos inside the database)
I tried using the following:
1. To manually manage the command messages:
@Override public Object manage(final CommandMessage commandMessage) { switch (commandMessage.getOperation()) {
