Actionscript 3 :: Flash NetStream.Buffer.Flush Firing Repeatedly
Oct 13, 2011
I've made a custom video player in as3. Everything works, but once a video has loaded and played through completely, if the user replays the video it continuously fires the NetStream.Buffer.Flush event until the video stops playing again (by either ending or by the user hitting pause). It doesn't seem to effect anything negatively, but I would rather not have an event continuously firing in the background like that. I can't find any documentation of this happening online anywhere. Is this normal behavior for a NetStream that has fully loaded?

I notice that, when I pause the video, the event "NetStream.Buffer.Flush" is triggered. And according to the language reference: "Data has finished streaming, and the remaining buffer will be emptied.", I have to re-buffer it, right? However, also according to the reference, it shouldn't stop buffering:
Starting with Flash Player 9.0.115.0, Flash Player no longer clears the buffer when NetStream.pause() is called. This behavior is called "smart pause". Before Flash Player 9.0.115.0, Flash Player waited for the buffer to fill up before resuming playback, which often caused a delay.
I'm using Flash Professional to do the debugging, and the traced version number is: MAC 10,0,22,91, and it appears for both FMS4 and red5.

I'm making a small video players in AS3, and I've found that after calling NetStream.pause() or NetStream.togglePause(), no status messages are being fired any more.If I click the "pause" button while the video is buffering, I never get the Buffer.Full message.Here is some code:
_connection = new NetConnection();
_connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
_connection.connect(null);[code].....

I have a Net Stream object that I am using to stream video from an Amazon Flash Media Streaming service.The video makes a connection and plays fine but randomly it seems to just freeze and the only way to get it to work again is to re-establish the connection. I have tried to put other videos in that amazon bucket as well and they seem to play fine. this happens when it is in .FLV form and .mp4 format.
I have set the buffer time to be 5 seconds and i watch the output of the buffer to see the % of full it is. when the problem occurs the buffer 5 goes from 100 to 0 and then it throws a Buffer fail error (i'm using OVP framework).I have come to the conclusion that it is either a video encoding problem or perhaps there is a firewall issue that blocks the data from getting through.

i've a very strange problem with a NetStream Buffer only in Internet Explorer (flash player version 10,0,32,18). When I connect to a netstream I use this:
var videoOpe:Video=new Video();
var stream="name live stream";
var nsOpe = new NetStream(nc); //nc is an active netConnection
nsOpe.bufferTime=1;
nsOpe.client=this;

I'm trying to make a preloader for the buffer for a 19MB video. I can trace everything, but the math won't do.
Preloading the video itself is no problem. But what I want is to make a xx% preloader for the buffer of this video.[code]...

I have a video file FLV which is dynamically loaded using AS NetStream function.Now I want to stop the buffering of the video after a certain amount of bytes are being loaded. For example, the FLV size is 10mb and I want to PAUSE the buffer after the 2mb of bytes are loaded. During the PAUSE of the buffer, the connection should be ON and I should be able to play the video.Is there any way we can PAUSE the buffer and after certain amount of time, we again can START the buffering process? Say it should again start buffering after 2 minutes.

I'm using netStream to stream dynamically loaded flv's into a video gallery. I've created a "buffering" animation called "bufferCounter" that loops while the stream is buffering. However, it keeps reappearing at odd times in front of the movie.
I'm assuming it's doing this because the buffer is no longer at 100%, but I can't seem to work around it.
Here is my code for reference:
Code:
// Create a NetConnection object
var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection

I have 9 videos in a gallery. Each one gets displayed in a custom video component. When you navigate to watch a new one a new NetStream is setup.I have 2 problems. Basically if you don't watch the video right to the end and when you select and watch a new one:1. a "buffering video" movieclip does not display correctly (or at all) indicating that NetStream.Buffer.Empty isn't working properly (maybe its referencing the previous movie ???).2. when the next movie is buffered and starts you hear a little split second glitch of sound (which sounds like its from the previous movie).
both these problems seem to indicate that in some way the previous movie is still lingering around and in some way needs to be 'flushed' away so that on the next movie the code to display the 'buffering video' message works properly and you don't get this legacy remnant of sound for a split second.At the beginning of the code for each movie I have placed:
ns.pause();
player.clear();
ns.close();

I have made a video player based on the code from Lee's tutorial and I have modified it with help from code found in this forum. The video is paused from start and thats fine, but the bufferClip shows all the time (like forever) until i press the play button, I just want the bufferClip to be visible for as long the video is buffering.
Code: Select allns.setBufferTime(4);
var firstPlay:Boolean = true;
ns.onStatus = function(info){

I am developing a C++ program to connect FMS via RTMP, and then publish a live stream I can't use FMLE here because I need collect the H.264 NALU from somewhere and forward them to the FMS.I write a demo app, which parses H.264 encoded FLV file, and send the VideoTag in the FLV as RTMP Message content for publishing.Finally, I make it run and I can see some frames of video!But the problem is: The video does not play smoothly and it just updates some frames.
Then I looked at the NetStream event and found that:Everytime when there is a NetStream.Buffer.Full event, the frame in the video is updated and display correctly But immediately there is another NetStream.Buffer.Empty event followed and the video is frozen.

Right now, I'm doing a lot of byte write operations, and I believe this is taking up a bunch of memory, which is then throwing an error. Is there anyway to flush some unneeded memory every now and then? It's not flushing the memory every time I run it in the fla either.

AIR seems to keep its own DNS cache when an application is running, and ignores any changes to the OS DNS cache (i.e. ipconfig /flushdns.More specifically, I'm creating multiple URLStream & URLRequest objects over a long period of time in a AIR application. Once the first one connects the host's IP address is cached for the lifetime of the application.And the URLRequest.useCache property,understandably,has no effect on DNS caching.how to force a host name to re-resolve inside a AIR (or Flash) application?
Note: Unfortunately, resolving the IP through a web service and rewriting the URL is not an option as a workaround.The use-case is downloading files from Amazon S3 using signed URLs which are invalidated if modified.
Update: The test results above were gathered on WinXP prior to AIR 1.5.2. Subsequent tests using 1.5.2 show serialized requests with URLStream.load() are re-resolved more frequently but still ignore TTL values.I still haven't figured out what conditions are necessary to trigger the re-resolution, but have noted a couple of cases that prevent it.For instance, if another asynchronous URLStream is active to the same host then requests use the cached IP address and are not resolved. And simply closing and dereferencing all streams to a host is not sufficient to ensure the same host name will be re-resolved in the next request.

I've got a large(at least I assume it's large, ~200meg) flash file I'm working with that upon saving, it goes into the dreaded "(Not Responding)" mode. Is this a symptom of being such a large file? It's image intensive--I can try reducing the image quality--or is there something else I'm missing?I'm on a toshiba laptop, using the latest version of windows.

I am working on an app that will take a snapshot of an rtmp stream of an archived video, save it to a file, and ExternalInterface the file name to the hosting page to javascript it up for display.
I actually have all pieces working great. The only time an error is thrown is when I pause the video, seek to somewhere, and then try to take a snapshot. Then there is a runtime error of:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: mySwf.swf cannot access rtmp://myFlashServer/myApp. No policy files granted access.I've seen post after post of suggestions and have tried them, but without success.
I have the crossdomain.xml and my FlashMediaServer security setup fine (it is actually working, except for this one glitch). It just seems to be the pause-then-seek-then-BitMapData.draw() combination which is creating issues.
Another weird thing: after the error is thrown, if I resume the stream and take a snapshot, it works flawlessly again.

So I've looked all over the internet for this answer and have found nothing.I'm writing data to a shared object and need to know when it's successfully written to disk so I can take further action.Most of the time the shared object gets successfully written, but some times, for reasons unknown, it will fail.So my question is, what are the reasons a call to flush() can fail and how best can I avoid that case and ensure that its successfully written?

I'm writing a real-time app using a Flex/Flash client and my own server running on Linux.
I'd like to be able to send data from the Flex client in real time (in response to user actions). I've tried the following methods:
flash.net.NetConnection.call()
flash.net.sendToURL()
flash.net.Socket.write() followed by flash.net.Socket.flush()
[Code].....
The second nc.call() above won't send data to the server until the ACK for the first call has been recieved. I'd like to be able to send data immediately without waiting for that ACK.
If the round-trip time to the server is long (e.g. 300ms) I can only send data to the server 3 times a second. Ideally I'd like to be able to send data up to 30 times per second, but this is only possible with a RTT of around 30ms at the moment.
It doesn't matter if the server itself gets the data 300ms late - I realise I can't beat the speed of light.
Is there any way to get the Flash Player to send data without waiting for an ACK? In other environments this is done by setting the TCP_NODELAY flag on the socket but it seems I don't have that level of control in Flash/Flex.
Update: I think I may have stumbled on a workaround for this. I think the Flash Player tries to get the host browser to give it a separate TCP connection for each NetConnection object, subject to the connection limit for each browser, e.g. 2 for IE. The connection limit can be got around by using sub-domains (haven't tried this yet) so hopefully it should be possible to get closer to real-time behaviour by using a pool of NetConnections.

I'm trying to animate entirely in AS for the first time. (Woo!) I'm using the Tween class, with the very convenient Tween.onMotionFinished to invoke my next animation. But once I get pretty far into it, it starts to look like this:
[code]...
I've found that, when applying a tween to a function, I am unable to refer to that tween (specifically, onMotionFinished) from outside of it. This works okay but leaves me with some rather ugly ActionScript!

I'm trying to make a loader class that will spit back MovieClip data from the Loader. If another class/function requests the same data (Rather, the same file), rather than making a new loader and re-loading it, I was hoping to just have it return the same MovieClip. This all works to some extent, but the problem I'm having is this - Because the new request is adding the MovieClip, it's taking it away from the old one.
I tried making a copy when the request is made, but the image is generally not loaded then, and because the copies aren't updated, most of the images are empty when everything requests it.So basically what I'm hoping you can guide me towards is a sort of... C++ pointer-esque thing, something that could point to the MovieClip data without actually taking it away from everything else. I've messed with AS3 for a while, but can't find anything like that. Or any other method that would let multiple MovieClips reference a single "original" movie clip, reference-style.
