I'm using the FLVPlayback class to play my FLV files.
If I'm trying to play a FLV file which is not existed yet then I am getting a "VideoError: 1000" with message of Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server.
I want to check for the FLV file existence using the file URL or path, before playing that FLV by FLVPlayback.
Why does the trace in the loop below return false for every iteration, even though there ARE nodes named with 6 of the 8 possible values??? This only happens when I have a namespace. Is there some other way to check for the node values???

I have a frame where there a 5 input text fields that the user can fill in. THey may not fill them all in though. In the next frame I want to push the fields that they filled in into an array.how do I determine what they filled in and what they didn't.
View 2 RepliesI have an array with some elements that may repeat themselves or not (this is actually because they're attributes retrieved from xml nodes, but you don't need to know that); what I want to do is: go through that array and check for elements and store them in another array according to the following condition (this is where it gets tricky): if that element does not exist in the final array yet, store it; if it does exist already, nevermind it.
I wrote this code:
//custom method for searching through array
Array.prototype.contains = function(searchValue){
for(i=0; i<this.length; i++){
if (this[i] == searchValue){
return true
[Code] .....
Trace returns lisbon, oporto, oporto, coimbra, oporto, coimbra wich means that the only element in the destinations array being prevented from getting pushed into the final array is the first element in the initial array (in this case, "lisbon")... but if it prevents the first one, how come it doesn't prevent the others, damn it?...
Is there a way in AS3 to determine if a loaded sound file is still playing or not? I need to start an animation when a sound starts and stop the animation when the sound is done playing.
View 3 RepliesI need to check for file existence in Flash on x number of videos. I've tried LoadVars and MovieClipLoader. LoadVars works but it actually loaded the entire video before reporting its done. Without a way of knowing that its started, I can't delete it before its done. I don't what to load the entire video, i just want to check that its there. MovieClipLoader has onLoadError and onLoadStart, which works because I can unload the MovieClip right after its starts loading and know its there and if there's a load error I know it's not there. Should work, but I need to run that x number of times to check for the other videos.
View 1 RepliesI have been at this for 5 hours and I'm about to pull all my hair out.I have a seemingly very simple problem that I can NOT find any reason for why it's happening.I built a simple flash doc that has three distinct pieces in it (2 frames):
1) A FLVplayback component on frame 1 - (working)
2) An AS listener that checks for end of Video and progresses to 2nd frame - (working)
3) a cookie script that checks to see if the video has been played and if it has skips frame 1 and goes to frame 2 (also working)
The video successfully plays the first time and moves to the 2nd frame. But, when the document is reloaded it checks the cookie (finds it) skips the 1st frame, moves to the 2nd BUT it does NOT display ANY of the elements in the 2nd frame. NOTHING!! There is a simple graphic and button that allows the users to replay the video (by simply clearing the cookie and going back to Frame 1) but they do not show up. (However, they DO show up if the video plays first and moves to frame 2 via the listener, just not via the cookie).I have placed traces in each frame to show if it is indeed arriving on frame 2. It is, but NOTHING shows.I have rebuilt the FLA step by step testing each time and have found that it works perfectly, right up until the FLV Component is dropped in. Then it moves to the 2nd frame and shows NONE of the 2nd frame elements. URl...
Flash CS3, and I have an FLV video(40 seconds) and a postcard which I want to show in the video farme after the video is complete. The postcard at the end will a link to a URL I've tried all the codes I could find on the internet, but I couldnt accomplish anything. I must be doing something wrong. Here is what I am doing:I put a FLVPlayback component in the first frame on the stage. Give the FLVPlayback component an instance name.Link the FLVPlayback component to a flv file on my server.Put the postcard in the second frame on the stage
View 12 RepliesI'm doing a small Flash 10 site for a friend of mine at [URL] and my problem is if you click on the WATCH button, you'll see the FLVPlayback component comes up and the video starts playing. Fine so far. However, click on any other button and it takes you to the correct place in the timeline but the audio from the video keeps playing and I can't get it to stop even though the FLVPlayback component is nowhere on the stage anymore. How can I fix this bug?
View 4 RepliesI have some .mov files I need to play with the flvPlayback component. When I had them in my actionscript it does not work. I've read allot and it says that the component will play mov video but it does not for me.
I am running CS4 with FlashPlayer 10 and AS3.
I have a as3 project, a magazine like project.I have like 10 pages, and some of those pages, has a FLVPlayback component to stream flv videoes.I have one problem, and it goes like this:
When i enter a frame, with a FLVPlayback component and start playing the video, everything works fine. But when i then switch to another page, the video file keeps playing in the background.
I link my mp4 video directly using video.source = "my.mp4" in AS3 and the link is not broken, but then player keeps on loading forever.
View 1 RepliesI cannot get my sample program using the FLVPlayback component (using as2) to play back FLVs that are still in the process of being recorded. I have no problem playing back FLVs that are complete. Is this a practical limitation?
View 4 RepliesLook at this code,

I am using As3 to add to the stage dynamically, now what seems to be happening is the video is playing before I add the containerFour - how can I code this, so that the video only begins to play when I add containerFour, and not before it?
i have an fla file with 5 keyframes. Each keyframe navigates forward to the following keyframe. On the fifth keyframe, a Loader loads an external swf. The external swf has an flv playback component with sound.
The fifth keyframe, other than having a button to click to load the swf, has a movie clip that navigates you back to the first keyframe. The loaded swf, once loaded, may be removed using removeThis function which has removeChild code as well as a flv.stop(); which makes the flv stop when the swf is removed. So u're back on keyframe 5, no sound ASo, all is well and the user can navigate back to the first keyframe (from keyframe 5), and from there continue on to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th keyframes again, problems start though, when you get to that 5th keyframe again: that keyframe has an FLVPlayback component playing an flv, which at that point becomes very sluggish as all the mc animations on that 5th frame. And worse, i realize, the flv in the external swf that was previously loaded, starts playing by itself, which i know, because i hear its sound track.
I tried putting a conditional statement to tell the _flv to stop on keyframes 1 and 5, but that causes errors, considering that the flv is an undefined property from the perspective of those keyframes.
I have an instance of an flvplayback component on a frame (not the first frame) on a timeline in a flash AS3 flash app file. I would like to stop the movie when i exit that frame, either via gotoAndStop() or whatever else.s there a listener for this? Or any solution that people know of?

View 1 RepliesI'll start by saying that I'm in the process of learning actionscript. That said, I'm wanting to play two videos with actionscript. I went through a tutorial and using a pre-built flash player I used the following script

Which worked fine. That said, that was just a test. We are wanting to use the F4 Player. I opened up the player and looked at the actionscript (which is below). I had some trouble, so I posted on here and this was my response..

is there a way to check if a MC stopped playing?i have a MC on my stage and I guess I have to put some event on the last frame inside the MC. now I want that code to jump to frame X of the MAIN stage- not the MC itself. how do i do this?

View 11 RepliesI would like to know if you can give me a direction how can I check if a movie clip is already instantiated, if it is, don't duplicated it, if it's not, create the object.I have an idea that it should be with an if statement I guess but I am not sure of the rest

View 4 Repliesi got a STREAMING mp3 file in loaded by mySound.loadSound("test.mp3", true). and we all know that this function will run while sound completes
Code:
mySound.onSoundComplete = function(){
trace("Sound Completed")
}
and this one while the sound is FULLY loaded
[Code]...
well i know there is no such thing... but i think now u get my ideas is there any alternative way to do the similar thing? cuz since it's streaming mp3, the song will be played during the loading progress...so both onLoad and onSoundComplete won't work....

Basically i have a mini map and i want to check what a mini map tile is playing at.
so i tried to trace it, thinking that the error i get was only because the tile was not yet instantiated i made the following function appear after 1 second to be safe.
[AS] function startGame(e:Event) {
trace(getChildByName("tile1").currentFrame);
}[/AS]
Still get the following error.
1119: Access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.
I placed .x (just a test value) instead of .currentFrame and i receive no error.
I guess .currentFrame checks for the MovieClips timeline during compilation?
How do we check if there is a sound already playing in a soundchannel?
View 1 RepliesI 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
