I want load a video on flash, without a GET call to get the video. how the code is something like this:
var Player:FLVPlayback = attachMovie("FLVPlayback", "Player", _root.getDepth()-1);
Player.autoPlay=false;
Player.bufferingBar=buff;
Player.contentPath="myVIDEO.flv";
I'm working on a site which allows people to pay to stream videos online. I'm currently using JW Player to stream FLV/F4V files from Amazon S3, using a signature.This method is extremely unstable, and needless to say, useless. I've heard I can use Amazon CloudFront as a CDN for my videos. But that it won't make the files any more secure, if I've understood it correctly.Price is an important thing. I know hosting/streaming video is expensive, but what are my best options, for a cheap, reliable, and as-safe-you-can solution for me? I have very little hosting experience,
View 2 RepliesI have tried many approaches to unloading my swf, but to no avail, the video sounds within my laoded swf keep playing even once the swf has been loaded.
I have created a universal loader as follows:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
I then load various swf's into a movie clip named mov_contentLoader, for example the video swf is loaded as follows:
loader.load(new URLRequest("video.swf")); //assign SWF url to loader
mov_contentLoader.addChild(loader); //add loaded content to movi clip
I then have a generic "exit" button, based on the state of the application, certain windows are closed, swf's are unloaded etc. For my video.swf file, when the exit button is clicked, I call the unloadAndStop(); method on the loader as follows:
loader.unloadAndStop(); //unload all content, do some garbage cleanup
mov_contentLoader.removeChildAt(0); //just to be safe, a second layer of reassurance ??
The SWF is unloaded, but for the life of me I can NOT get the sounds to stop! I even resorted to adding stage listeners on the video.swf to listen for an exiting state, but that still did not stop video sounds.
If I load the video.swf in again and play a different video, the two soundtracks play ontop of each other.
how I can trigger isLoaded() as soon as my .swf movie is loaded.[code]

View 20 RepliesI'm using swftools and the jw media player in Drupal. The vids are coming in from another server. The generic player was set to be the default. The generic player only has autoplay which we do not want (that's all we want to change). I tried Flowplayer3 but it supposedly doesn't work with xml. I'm trying jw now, and can get the player working, but it has a skin I don't like (it also won't play the xml-called vids) and I think the skin is coming in from the other server with the videos as it looks too good to be the generic player skin. So in summary, I need to keep the skin and just turn off autoplay somehow. I've read something about Flash doesn't like to pass xml between servers. but if that's the case then how come the videos played with the generic player?[code]...

View 2 Replieswould like to know the AS code to load an external video, say quicktime or something else, into a specific frame of my fla.... and have it visible in the website.
I'm thinking of putting in videos that are 792 x 396 pixels... What I would like to know is can an acceptable quality be viewed at this size keeping actual file size of the video as low as possible. The videos are basically monochromatic for the most part... are of me sketching on paper ... and my have some images displayed with voice-over...oh yeah.. the videos will all have a constant narration. Total video time (30 sec to 1 min)
I import the video manually from the File Tab. I change the stage size to match video (I want it full screen because I have "liquid layout" AS3 code in order to match browser window) I center the video on the stage.I make the video an Object (MovieClip)
And that's it.
The video play well, matching the full brower window and resizing accordingly.
My questions are :
1 - I am making the video a movie clip but is it necessary. I have tried without and it still works!! The only thing I find weird is that the "publishing" doesnt work when the video is not made a MovieClip. (I struggle to center the SWF in the HTML page)
2 - I don't know about the Netstream class. My server is a normal FTP (with PHP MYSQL) but not a streaming server. Would it be appropriate (better) to call the video through AS3 using the Netstream class ? (actually I am not sure of what the Netstream class is for)
3 - I have tried to loop the video using the classic AS3 code (that can be found anywhere). What is funny is that the code works when the movie is not converted to an object. But when it is, the looping doesnt work at all. Do you see a reason why ? (Maybe because the video is imported manually and not an instance created from the Video MovieClip Object ??)
I am trying to load a video using a URL, and I keep getting this error:
Code:

View 1 RepliesI used AS3 to successfully load a web-hosted video file when I tested my app. within Flash CS5. However, I published as a Windows projector EXE file and the web-hosted video won't load from within Flash Player 10 running the EXE.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a Flash site for a client who wants to display many (about 15) fairly hi-res photos as well as a video. I am using the Video class to display and control the video, and the Loader class to load the photos. I preload them from an XML file up front, while "loading..." is displayed.
The video plays immediately after the loader finishes, and the user can also choose to view the slideshow, which has left/right arrows which show each photo with a simple fade tween between each one.
The problem I am having seems to be that when all these assets are loaded, the video and the "fade" effects are very choppy. If I cut down on the number of photos, everything works fine; but I have to include all of them, plus the video.
I am storing all the Loader instances in an array, and when they are requested, I add them to the stage and fade them in. When it finishes fading in I remove the previous one from the stage. So they are all stored in Flash's "memory", but there is only one Loader or Video instance on the stage at any given time. Is there a better way to handle this? Perhaps some way to cache the images but not bog down Flash's memory? I would prefer to have everything loaded up front in order to avoid needing a "loading..." for every slide.
We're putting together one of those "greeting spokesperson" videos for our website. The video is about 30 seconds long, and on the first load, it always disappears in the middle of a sentence. Refresh the page, and it works fine thereafter. The video plays through a FLV Player inside a SWF. The SWF is 695 frames long and has the following characteristics: 'fade-out' alpha tween starting at Frame 685A Stop action at the very last frameThe following code on the FLV player:
on (complete) {
getURL('javascript:removeIt();'); }
I am trying to simply load and play a simple video clip using as3 code only no flash studio as3 authoring. I have not found anyone that knows how to do this with only as3 code. This is a flv video file. I just need a starting point in AS3. I need only the the as3.
