The video seeks normally when first playing but when it finishes i canīt seek the video again. I used a listener to call a function after the event TimeEvent.COMPLETE occurs(video finishes). In the function i call the function player.seek(20) for example but it doesnīt work. The video keeps in the end of it.
View 1 RepliesI'm using fl.video.VideoPlayer and I'd like to be able to seek arbitrarily within the video. seek() works unless the given time isn't yet loaded, in which case the video hiccups and continues playing normally. I'd like it to seek to the specified second even if it's not yet loaded, loading/buffering as necessary. I've tried seek() and play() and haven't been able to make this work.

Update: Turns out this is undocumented behaviour of the NetStream class - NetStream loads relative to the swf, as opposed to URLRequest which loads relative to the HTML doc...annoying.I am having a strange issue where loading an FLV file using thefl.video.VideoPlayer class that comes with CS4: Adobe docs hereUsually when loading external content into flashplayer, the path is relative to the HTML page that the swf is embedded in - but when I try and load an FLV using the VideoPlayer class the player looks for a path relative to the swf, not to the HTML (as you would expect).
eg:
My file setup is:index.html (which contains the swf)swf/my-video-player.swfvideo/my-video.flv

Is the Flash Video (or Flex VideoDisplay) component capable of seeking to an exact moment in a video?It seems to always 'snap' to keyframes (which is understandable). I'm just wondering if there are any mechanisms in the video classes for seeking to exact frames, ie it should do the translation from keyframe to specific frame in the background rather than having to actually play the video forward to the desired frame.This is not a streaming file and has nothing to do with buffering. The player is just downloading a movie file from the web and playing it from memory.

Toggling between normal / fullscreen playback Ok, so my custom video player needs to be able to toggle between fullscreen and normal embedded-in-webpage player size. How does fullscreen toggling currently work in AS3 -is there a specific AS3 method for fullscreening a specified video object in the swf (without stretching the video player UI in the swf itself), and if so, does it automatically black out the background if the screen format doesn't match the video format? - or do I need to download a class for this?
Positioning video player UI when going fullscreen As opposed to YouTube, I want the player UI to still show up when the video is toggled to fullscreen mode - but as mentioned above, I don't want to stretch its size along with the video. So is there a best practice for repositioning the video player UI to the vertical bottom and horizontal center of the screen when the user clicks full screen?

I didn't get an idea how to stop the autoplay function..
I have several MC that move downwards. They all start with the same _y value and when they reach the "floor" I want them to go 20 pixels down all toghether with a continuous move. I'm stucked with this last action.
This is the code I have
Code:
Movieclip.prototype.bounce = function(factor, posFinal, ratio) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
cont++;
this._y++;

So far, all the ways I tried make the MCs go 20 pixels down but not all at the same time.
We have this wicked project requirement to force play a flash video from start to finish upon user login. One possible solution is to autoplay the video and disable the mouse and keyboard while the video is playing. Is there a way to disable the mouse and keyboard in flash? This means you cannot click anything and type anything until the video finishes.
View 1 Repliesi am working in Flash AS2. still now i want one flv video play back with seek bar control animation script (not a Flvplayback component).
View 0 RepliesDoes anyone know of any tutorials that explain how to make a seek bar with a handle that will be linked to the main timeline, so that when you move the handle the animation will move too, e.g. if you drag the handle to the centre of the bar then it will skip to the middle of the animation?

View 2 RepliesI'm working on development of a medical training app and have come across a stumbling block I can't work out. I'm using FlashCS5, and AS3.Basic setup is this:
- 1 flvplayback with an H.264 MP4 loaded into it, stock controller
- 1 standard UILoader with a jpeg put into it
The jpeg still image is a sideview of a medical image, and the idea is that the user can move their mouse over this image and move the corresponding movie to a certain timecode. The full width of the image maps directly to the length of the movie clip, i.e. if you put your mouse on the very left of the still image, you are at 0 seconds of the movie, all the way on the right will be 49 seconds.
So, attached to my UILoader I added a simple routine that gets the mouseX, does some basic math to determine how far into the movie we should go, and sets the movie to that time.The problem is that using playheadTime, seek(), or seekSeconds() gives me incredible lag. You can move the mouse on the still image and the output window shows instantaneous reporting of the proper calculated time, but the movie itself might take 5-10 seconds to actually move to that time.
The movie has been rendered out using the CS5 Media Encoder and has a keyframe every 1 sec.Here is a link to a screen capture I did to show the problem. As you can see, using the standard controller is pretty responsive, but my other method is unusable. This happens locally as well, with the movie being fully loaded instantly.

View 1 RepliesI'm building a video player here[url]...
It's streaming RTMP, and I'm trying to get my video to seek correctly if the user clicks on the groove bar (gray bar under the green progress bar) Currently it does not seek and gives me a NaN on my duration variable and an error on my progress bar width variable, which is puzzling me.
For some reason my videoDuration variable is coming up as NaN when used inside of my seeker function, also I'm getting a null object reference error when trying to trace out playerCntrls.progressTotalW which is the total width of the groove bar[code]...
Does anyone know if it's possible to get your FLV to seek to a point beyond what's already been loaded into the buffer... just like how youTube does it?I want it to seek to the new point, drop all buffered data that it had before and then just start buffering from the new point.I'm NOT (and can't) use a media streaming server - is this possible without it? After a bit of research it's not looking good :sIf you can't do it then I'm thinking I'll have to preload the whole FLV before the user even sees anything!
View 5 RepliesI'd like to start playing a web-based video at a specific time, say 2 minutes in, even if the video hasn't been downloaded that far. I thought I could just "seek" to that time but that apparently only works when the video is buffered first.
So for example, this:
Code:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.play("[URL]");
ns.seek(123);
video.attachVideo(ns);
Seems to work if you have the video cached or buffered or whatever, but if you don't it gives the "NetStream.Seek.InvalidTime" error, which makes sense. I want to know if it's possible to start playing a video at a specific time, even if the video hasn't loaded up to that point.
I am creating a custom flash video player for my friend's wife's surprise 40th birthday party.

I have a "video on demand" video that I'd like to seek at any point of the video. It's playing on a Motorola Xoom tablet. I can seek to the beginning of the video when the playhead is near the beginning. However, if I the playhead is towards the end of the video and I attempt to seek to the beginning of the video, the video seeks many seconds after the start of the video. I thought this might be a buffering issue, so I set inBufferSeek to true, but I still have the same issue.
View 2 RepliesIf you load up a FLVPlayback component in Flash or VideoDisplay in Flex and try to seek to a specific location or set playheadTime to a specific location, the movie always rounds up or down by very large amountsIn flash, drag a FLVPlayback component to stage and set source to Then try to video.seek(6) or video.playheadTime = 6;It will just goto 10. Likewise if you use their built in scrubber the only intervals are 0, 5, or 10. So at most the scrubbing frame you see is 3Here is an example of flex with the same result.

I have a video player that doesn't have "seek from unloaded time" functionality. I want to add it now. I simply load video like this;
stream.play("vidurl.flv");
(pseudo streaming)
Server side is ready. I can call videos like videourl.flv?start=xxx but cant play them in player cuz video comes without metadata
To sum up:
1. stream.play("vidurl.flv"); works, video plays
2. user clicks to seek bar. on unloaded part. I get the position and convert it to seconds
stream.play("vidurl.flv?start=10");
Doesn't work! No metadata what I should do after?
I created a flash video player. Could any one show me how to seek unloaded time in flash video player?
