Actionscript :: Detect User's Download Speed For Flash Video?
Sep 17, 2010
We have a custom flash video player. It uses streaming over a hosted FMS $50/month account.Some users are complaining that the video doesn't play at all.ith one of these users, we had them go to a speed test website and it was determined that they had a very slow connection which we are assuming is what is causing them to not be able view the video.So before we try to load the video we want to determine their connection speed. Then if they have a good enough connection we will play the video and if not then we will do something else like play a lower quality video or simply display a message and not play a video at all.

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.

i have an .fla, which loads goes to different frames in the timeline according to the download speed of the user. i understand how it should work... start timer > upload file > stop timer > calculate download speed - easy?
so what is this simple code im missing to find the download speed? from my fruitless searching, the only relevant code i could find, is this:
Code:
var time1 = getTimer();
targetClip.loadMovie("example.swf");
targetClip.onLoad = function()
[Code]....
... but i have test this, which gives an undefined property error grrr.... so what is the actionscript 3, to find the value of the download speed?

I am wanting this to improve the initial download speed of the page. I have already added a Poster Frame to video's, however it still seems to be loading the video file and just autoplaying. Is there a way to NOT load the video file until the person hits play? This is the AS3 script I used...
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
myPoster.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function showPosterFrame(event:Event):void { myPoster.visible = true;}
function hidePosterFrame(event:Event):void { myPoster.visible = false;}
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void { myVideo.play();}
[code]....

this is an attempt at a visual graph to show the download speed of swf. Its only as large as it is because i threw in heaps of images to bulk it up for testing purposes. Though it looked kinda neat The only problem its causeing at the moment is it eventually slows down no matter what, cacheToBitmap dosent seem to make a difference. Its not array based either, i discoverd very quickly how large arrays devour all life.

Is there a way in Flash to detect if the user has quit the application? For example if the user closes the browser window, or has not been active for 5 minutes, then so remove them from the list of active members.

Is there a script avaible for flash that alowes me to detect the speed of the machine that currently is viewing the flash. I have an .swf that is a bit heavy which works great on never machines, but on older it is quite slow. I want it to stop certain animation if the cpu is slow.

Anyone know how to vary the playback speed of video in Flash? I'm looking to implement this in an educational website where users can slow down the video or breeze through it by changing the playback.
Here's an example of what I'm looking for: [URL].. Except that this is a PC application, .exe. I'm looking to vary speed WITHIN Flash. I think FLV is not an option because you can only jump from cue-point to cue-point. With F4V work? MP4?

I'm wondering wether there's a Javascript way to detect wether a user has any sort of flash blocking plugin installed so i can accommodate these users properly. For example, I use 'click to flash', but sites that use SiFR to render text are littered with "click to flash" buttons, which is getting very annoying. I don't use SiFR in my designs for this reason. But if I could spot wether there's a flash blocking plugin installed, I would simply not call the SiFR function.

In my CS4 flash document I have created a media gallery. It's a very simple interface that has mouse overs on thumbnail pictures, and then the larger picture will fadeUP in the center of the document. (With use of framelabels in the timeline).
In the same document, I want the user to be able to click on a video thumbnail, and that video plays back in the center of the document. Several questions: If the user clicks on the thumbnail "onrelease," the time line goes to the player, is it possible to stream this video from a youtube clip into my media player on the screen? If not and I have the document in a fl4 format, is there a simple process to have this video open? (I currently do not have the document in fl4 format).

I use something like this code to detect the speed of the movement of a dragged object
PHP Code:
if (!go) {
this["position_"+i] = this._y;
i++;[code]....
This way I can find in what direction the mouse vertically has moved and at what speed. The problem is that every once in a while the speed will be in the opposite direction. What do people use to detect the direction of the movement of the mouse?
